• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Paid on Campus. First one in the books, boys. Two
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: to three Eastern is where you'll see that. We were

  Speaker 6: Oklahoma Sooners and the Michigan Wolverines. Dude, how do you
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: feel about the first episode? How'd you feel it went?
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: I felt like it went good. I mean, there are
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: a couple of things that you get cleaned up on
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: because when you're doing the TV stuff and knowing that
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: graphics are going to come, like when I was doing
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: the whole A-Gap segment, I didn't know the Steve Sarkisian
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: thing was going to be like present.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: While that was going on.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Because I kind of had the Roldex, hey, Peyton, I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: going to kick it to you. Also, it's like the
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: bump-ins and bump-outs of TV when somebody's in your ear.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: And I had one in the B block where I
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: kind of go through my bump-out. And I'm like, up next,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: we're going to be breaking down the agate, putting on
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: the big boy pads, talking about what situations in college
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: football this year are going to have the most pressure.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: As I was ending that sentence, Dee... somebody, the producer
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: comes in my ear and goes, you have 10 seconds.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: So I just start saying out loud, and we still
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: have 10 seconds left, nine, eight, we're gonna have some grace,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: it's the first show. We're gonna have grace, we're gonna
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: have empathy, my guys wanna chime in. I felt like
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: I was just swimming in water, treading water, going down.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: He goes, my guys wanna chime in and me and
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Pate with each other and just kept our mouths shut.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I let him just arrive. I watched that, I was dying,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: I'm like, hey. I'm like, oh no, I think they
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: did that on purpose. Yeah, yeah, no, that was not planned.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: But dude, I had some, and I would love to
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: hear from you too, but like, I had like some good.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: football game type nerves going into that first show.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Dude yes like when you're uh when you're in that
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: pre-production meeting everyone's going over it it's like okay a
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: little bit of nerves but like you feel really good
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: shout out cody by the way big round of applause
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: for cody getting us dialed in on football he was
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: he's been a massive addition going into the fall so
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: i felt very prepared i felt like i was like
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: i knew what i was going to talk about i
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: knew what i was strong about i knew what you
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: were strong about so i could kind of let you
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: have the stage in that area And as we're walking
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: or on the golf cart going over there and it's like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: oh shit, dude, we have our own show on ESPN.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: It's about to go down. And I was super nervous.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: And they're like, hey, do you guys want to pre-shoot
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: our intro? And we're like, oh no, we did a
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: dry run. Did not go well, by the way. Like
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Pete was, didn't know when to come in and stuff
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: like that. So he had a little bit of a
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: thing going on. And then Will and I kind of
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: messed up. And then it's quiet over our earpieces and
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: they go, hey, we're going to pre-shoot the production, the
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: first little segment here. So we pre-shot like our little one-liners.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: And once we got those out of the way, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: like those were like solid and dialed in, I was like,
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: it kind of just was gone from there. It was
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: fun to interact with the fans, go back and forth,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: throw out the t-shirts. People were buying in. I was
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: sweating my ass off the entire time. I was literally
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: dripping at points, but I was like, Having a blast, bro.
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: Sweating, dude.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Sweating.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Beans running down his face. With makeup all to it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: After the first break, they came and gave me a thing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I went, no, no, you're supposed to dab. But I looked.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: It was just brown. I'm like, oh, shit.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: We're learning.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: But dude, you obviously had that little going out, nine,
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: have some grace or whatever. but you crush it on
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: an intro when it was LSU Tiger Stadium. And you're like,
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised they're not running another NFL combine there. I'm like, yo,
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: he's got to cook it on his intro right here
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: going into this break. So there was like good peaks
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: and valleys and all of it. But I feel like
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: the valleys weren't even, it was like, yeah, this is Buston.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: This is what Buston is. Like, you're not going to
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: get like the perfect like suit and tie type of
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: intros and outros. You're going to have a good time.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: You're going to learn a little bit about football. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: the number one thing that I think makes the show
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: the best is the chemistry between the three of us.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: It just rides.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: We were, we were riding a high after the show
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: was over. We're all dapping up. We're fired up. We're, we're,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: we're talking with the fans. We had like about 300
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: that show up, which was really cool, but we were
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: riding a high, like the rest of the day going
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: into supper club at nighttime. We got a lift in
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: at LSU's facility and we were just kind of juice, bro.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: You're getting texts and everything else. And, It's like you
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: get the first one out of the way. That's going
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: to be essentially everybody's like, hey, the best news, that's
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: going to be your worst show. It's like, yeah, I'm
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: sure I'll be a little nervous even going into the
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: next week.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: For sure, because we were nervous every week going into ESPN.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Like, oh, how's it going to work? And by like
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: week six, even though you knew everything, you'd still like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: when they're like, hey, 30 seconds till we're on, you're
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: still like putting your E-precise on. Like people are dialed in.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Orlovsky's playing his music because he's done like five shows already.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: And you're getting ready to go and you're like, dude,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: what if I fucked this whole thing up right now?
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: It's like, oh shit, dude. And you guys get in, dude,
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: you fight, you get the first hit out of the way.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: And it was awesome, bro. Like if that's our worst
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: show that I had a great time. It's like, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: we have a show on ESPN.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. It was fun, bro. Cause D you know too,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: cause you're going to be doing the Titans pod and
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: you do pods with us all the time. But it's
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: also those like, you know, you're going 47 minutes in totality.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Like the show's an hour long, but with commercials, you
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: get about 47 minutes to talk. So all your points,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: you need to just be like on your points. And
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: I guess the word is polished, but just be on
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: it because it's not like a, as I'm sitting here
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: talking right now, it's not like a pod where you
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: can just kind of sit back and talk your way
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: through everything.
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: You have to be like your best stuff right away.
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: Do y'all have a screen in front of y'all though
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: that kind of keep y'all on track?
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: The screen kind of made a bit more of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: things that got us. Because it's only like a few
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: second delay. So we'd have a screen on the right
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: side and the left side that you could look at
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: and kind of see like what's on the screen, like
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: what's on TV for the viewer. But it's also on
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: a little bit of a couple second delay. So it
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: kind of messes with you.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: It's a.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: That was funny. There was the, the agave segment. And
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: cause I'm watching you break it all down and you're
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: waxing poetically on all of it. But while you're breaking
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: it down, it's going through Steve Sarkisian.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: And a bunch of stuff.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Cause when I'm watching it, I was telling Cody too.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: I was like, I wish they were like, my assumption
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: is if I'd have known that awesome, that like they
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: said a montage was going to go, but they had
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: this sick montage going. And I was like, I wish
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: the screen would have just been tight on me. And
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: there wasn't like an LSU chant going on. Cause I
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: was like, man, I'm, I was working on that little A-gap,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: that little A-gap intro. I was fired up about it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: But then it's wide. And Steve Sarkeesian kind of comes
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: across the screen, which I wasn't, I didn't know that
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: that was going to happen. Peyton did a great job
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: of utilizing that one. Because I was going to be Sark.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: He was going to be Lincoln Riley. And you were?
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: I was Dan Lanning.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Dan Lanning. But it kind of, it just throws you off.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: You're like having to pivot in the moment. But as
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I'm staring down the barrel of the screen, I'm not
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: seeing the two screens on the right and left to
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: where Sark is. on the screen for like the last
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: half of me introducing the A-gap.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: And bro, I'm telling you, like the whole weekend, that
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: was one of the hottest weekends I've ever been a
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: part of.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Oh my God. It was a war at times.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Like we got to, so Friday happens, I'm clearly sweating
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: on the set, but like to me it's like, yeah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I'm hot as shit. I've always been a sweater. Always
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: been a sweater.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: I had to tell Peyton, I was like, Taylor was
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: on like the sodium list, like when we were on
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: the squad. Yeah, yeah. Taylor always had the drink constant.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: I was always like a big sweat guy. And so,
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: I didn't know it'd be that much. That was probably
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: clearly some nerves that like I wasn't like maybe like
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: feeding into and then decided to come out through my
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: pores instead. But we get to Saturday and we have
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: like this awesome activation of Fred. Shout out Fred. Maybe
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: even a round of applause for Fred.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Like that was.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: awesome dude all the guys over there we have this
• 10:38

  Speaker 6: of like social content for for them and for our
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: vlogs and dude every time we stepped out in the

  Speaker 6: It was unbelievable. And yeah, you're wearing jeans. You got,
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: you know, you're just, you're in the elements. And dude,

  Speaker 6: I think I changed shirts five times every time. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: it was like within 10 minutes, I was changing shirts
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: to put on for different brands and do the thing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Every shirt was soaking wet once I passed it off.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Like I went to bed Saturday night and woke up
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: in the morning with a calf cramp. It was like that, bro.

• 11:35
  Speaker 6: sat down. We had this little cabin type thing. But

• 24:54
  Speaker 7: to have you guys a part of it with the
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: new stadium.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: And having- you and him going, when we play the Commanders,
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: you and having Will on the show and just going
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: back and forth with that situation, like having him bring
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: some guests from the Commanders and we have like a standoff,
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: something like they were talking about, but they wanna have
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: you guys a part of the new stadium.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: It would be cool. Right now you're giving up some
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: of their game plan.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: But Delaney has.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: The right mindset.
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: Get to your first episode. Because what'd you say? It's
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: going to cost some money, right?
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: It's going to cost some money. It's going to cost
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: some money.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is me. They're going to watch this
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: and this is what they're going to get. I'm showing
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: them what it looks like now.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: I remember now vividly how much trouble I got into
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: the first time you were on our episode because of
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: stuff like this.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I got in trouble. I got in trouble.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: We got in trouble.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you?
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, I wasn't on the squad. He was chilling.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Will was on Charlotte Avenue smoking a cigar.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Wait, you wasn't on the squad? I felt in trouble. No,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: because remember we stood up busing the year after I
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: was on the team. It was May of 19.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: So he was with us 18 and 20, but not 19. Oh, yeah.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I got in trouble. Remember I had
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: to send y'all, not me, but my people had to
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: send y'all to stop selling those shirts, the draft the
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: tight end. He ain't going to fucking play.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: Because they was tripping on me. They like, hey, you
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: got to get them to stop selling shirts. I'm like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: how am I going to get them to stop selling
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: shirts that had nothing to do with me?
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that sure happened. But then also Jono Smith happened.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: So like, that's kind of why I had to stop
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: because he played.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: I know. What do you mean?
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: He balled out.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying. You just said something that felt like
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: it took over the league.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Jono Smith's dog. No, that's my dog.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they drafted him.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: He was already on the team when that happened. They
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: was trying to draft another tight end. And I was like, well,
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: he won't play because it's me and Jonu. So whoever
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: you draft.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: We should run back that tape.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Jonu was here already. Jonu was on. When I was there,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Jonu was on the team. Yeah. Okay.
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you tripping. Because we ran two tight ends. You're
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: not going to play. Me and Jonu is running the team.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: I didn't say it like that. But that's when you
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: were like, draft a tight end. Yeah, I was like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: draft a tight end. He won't fucking play.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: So the Titans long-term play. is for me and Will
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: and you to do a podcast in the new stadium.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: It's a pregame, before the game. A pregame podcast or
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: a pregame show?
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Pregame show.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: That's live?
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: That's live.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Got you.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Live. And they're going to do everything.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: And they're going to bring other players in that are
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: playing that game?
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: I doubt it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: I think we're just going to talk our shit before
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: the game. About the Titans game coming up. About the
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: Titans and whoever they're playing. But it's like analysts, we
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: don't have to, we gonna talk both teams. We don't
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: have to just be a side with the Titans. You
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: get what I'm saying?
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so the Titans want us to do a show,
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: but not have to side with the Titans.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: All right, long-term play. Long-term play.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: I'm writing y'all in the deal already. You know what
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: I'm saying?
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: I love how this has gone from, all I ask,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: they're really busy, to I've already written you in the deal.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: But see, this is.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: What I want right here. I think this is going
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: to be great. That's why I want to have both
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: of y'all on there.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Oh, dude, we'll be there. We'll absolutely be there. One
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: thing we didn't mention about this past weekend is us
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: getting a police escort to the game.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: Shout out Jeremy Klump getting that done. And shout out Fred's.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Darren and Fred's were getting that done for us too.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Tapped into the network.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Tapped into the network.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: And got it done. Dude, at one point it was raining.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: We're on the wrong side of the road and we
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: have a motorcycle cop reaching into his bag, grabbing stuff.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: And then another car right in front of us that
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: we had no idea who it was, but they got
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: us to the stadium.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: And the traffic was crazy. Wait, with a motorcycle cop?
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: He was on a motorcycle. And then another one came
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: out of nowhere, like popped out of the street.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Yes, there was two of them.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: That's big. That's big. It was nuts. They're like, who
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: is that? People trying to see who y'all are.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: We had like this main intersection too, like right where
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: like everyone's tailgating and like there's like five, like our
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: two cops and then a bunch of other cops that
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: were doing it. But we're like in the middle of
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: an intersection stopping everybody essentially, making traffic way worse. And
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: they got us out of there.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: Do y'all feel like celebrities now or what? That, like
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: that moment, you don't know how it shakes up, but
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: you just can't believe it. Jared's filming it. I'm like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: kind of like, I'm watching everything go down. I'm like,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: how in the hell are we pulling? this off? It
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: felt like I was watching like inside of an episode
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: of Cops to where you're seeing them go and stop traffic.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: And it's like, man, yeah, yeah. To answer your question, yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: we felt good. But I'm like, how in the fuck
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: is this happening? We in LSU though. It's one of
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: one out there. LSU is truly one of one, bro.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: What were you going to say, Clint?
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: I just still can't fathom that out of nowhere. We're
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: on the left side of the highway. I've never seen
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: that before in my life. And the cops are like
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: yelling at people to pull over. They're just doing the
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: normal thing, driving away from the stadium.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: They had to move everyone over to the wrong side
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: of the highway. And we're just on the left side
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: of the road.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: It was bizarre. We're just eating wings. Leaving the stadium? No,
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: to get there. Oh, okay.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: We were like 15 minute drive to the stadium or
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: something like that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: It would have taken forever. Yeah. It would have taken
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: a long time.
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: It, we just pulled up right to the stadium, got
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: out and walked right in.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: Like it was nothing. It was. Hey, shout out friends, man.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Shout out friends. Shout out to that police officer. Well
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: connected out there.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Friends.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Did people notice y'all like right away? Do you feel
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: like when y'all stepped out in LSU.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Just because sometimes, sometimes people be like, Oh, the boys
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: bus in whatever it is. Like, Hey, PT six, just,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: you know? Yeah. Sometimes when we're, we're just kind of
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: like out in the wild and their friend right next
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: to him, be like, who's that? Yeah. I've got to
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: get both worlds.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: It's funny, too, when Will's walking ahead of me. Yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: shout out, Lanny Wilson.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, shout out.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: Will will be walking ahead of me, and some kid
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: will look, and be like, oh, that's Will Compton.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: They'll be like, oh, Taylor.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: And then you just see them kind of lose their mind.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: It's like nuts that it came from a bus.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Because I don't think people really recognize us for football anymore.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: I know they ain't recognizing me.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: I came in 100. People would be like, you're 10.
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: I'm like, hell yeah, man. I get bussing all the time.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: They be like, bussing. I'm like, I'm not even older,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: but thank you. Yeah, hell yeah. You're just part of
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: the universe. I'm part of the universe. Yeah, absolutely.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: And I hear mule bussing. I'm like, dude, I played 14.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: I never got this much love.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Isn't it crazy? It's crazy.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: I know, dude.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: It's nuts. Never got this much love. And you running
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: a Titans alumni pod and me being part of the
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: first guest, I kind of feel like... an imposter, like
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: all the studs and legends that have played for the
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Tennessee Titans.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: I played a couple of years on special teams. And
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: you're way more known than them right now.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Sorry. I don't know. Camille chasing numbers, Willie. Oh, the
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: first episode, I'm chasing numbers. The best episode is going
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: to be the number one episode. Hey, that is wild.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Because people do look at you like a Titans legend
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: in some ways.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: We were in Baton Rouge and fans are coming up.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: They're like, Saints legend. I'm just laughing because I was
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: there for 10 days. Wait, they said Saints? They said
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Saints legend, man, if we'd have kept you.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Y'all probably got another one.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They trolling. Yeah, for sure. Because I've
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: tweeted stuff like the culture, blah, blah, blah, this and that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: But they like play into the joke. They'll be like,
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: all Saints legend. They're off the bag. What are you
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: talking about? When did he play for the Saints?
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Sweetheart, come on.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: This is Will Compton. He was in the locker room
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: for preseason game three and four in 2021.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: I always get who's funnier, Will or Taylor, every time.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: It never fails. Who's funnier?
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: Will.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, Taylor knows that. Will, the funnier one.

  Speaker 9: It was like, obviously.

  Speaker 11: And you said Taylor knows that, and we cut to
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: Taylor's camera.

  Speaker 5: clay for the locker room and the way his schedule
• 37:09

• 37:11
  Speaker 5: things going on with his show with bussing. With ESPN,
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: he calls college games now. He did a phenomenal job
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: with Georgia Tech and Colorado last week. But he's doing
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: a lot of stuff. SEC Nation, he'll be doing NFL stuff.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: So his schedule, he's traveling like every week, Wednesday to,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: in his mind, hopefully Saturday night, he can get back home.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: But he'll be on the road for more than half
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: the week to where he can't really necessarily stop by.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: in Nashville and join the boys on the locker room.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: But we wish we could. He would be fun, yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Do he live here?
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: No, he lives in California.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, does he? He's in San Diego, bro. San Diego? Yeah.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: He's traveling, man. Rips, bro.
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: Rips. Thinking of getting on those flights every week, flying
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: from San Diego. He's going around. Again, SEC Nation. He's
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: calling college football games. He'll be doing NFL stuff. Four-hour
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: flights every day. Yeah.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: He's flying to the East every single week.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, bro.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: He's gone like three days a week, right?
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, at least.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Because he does, where does he do ESPN at? Does
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: he do it in LA or.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: In New York? Most of the time he'll be on
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: site wherever he's doing. Because again, his weekend is like NFL.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: I thought he was doing something in studio as well.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he will be. Like he'll be going to,
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: whether he calls a Thursday game or a Friday game,
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: he'll be doing commentating on whatever game that's at. Wherever
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: SEC Nation is going to be on Fridays, he'll be
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: there on site. And then I think in studio, wherever
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: they're doing NFL stuff, he'll be. probably in New York,
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: wherever that is. And then he'll be flying back across
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: the coast, back home to San Diego. He's grinding this year.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: He's grinding. He is getting after it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: This next year's talk comes from BrendanKing3. I really wish
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: JP was on the bus to hear this, but man,
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: JP looking yacked from that angle. What angle are we
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: talking about here?

  Speaker 5: I mean, there's not- The angle. We're talking the bus angle.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, the boss angle.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: I think that's what they're saying.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: See the chest popping, his shoulders popping a little bit more.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: JP's been on that work.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been on it a little bit. You can tell.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: I think him and Deke are getting like, what, three
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: sets of 12 periodically throughout the day.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: Getting after it. This one here from FStarks88. I listen
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: the next morning on my drive to work, so hold on.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: You're telling me that Monday morning I got Josh Bates'
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: college football show Now he can add Monday afternoon, he's
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: got Bustin' with the Boys college football reaction show. Tuesday morning, Bustin'
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: with the Boys. Wednesday morning, Josh Bates' college football show.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Thursday morning, Bustin' with the Boys' locker room with Josh Bates.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Friday on campus, new Bustin' with the Boys and Josh Bates.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: And then Saturday is college football. IU starts its back-to-back campaign.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: Best week ever? Hashtag tear talk. I like that one.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: This dude rips.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: He's got a full Rolodex, man. He knew GetPate Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday,
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: all of our daily program. And again, if he knew
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Delaney Walker was sitting on this bus right now, he'd
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: be talking about how the locker room drops with the
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: NFL on Thursday mornings. I think he was a big
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: college fan. Big college fan. He loves college football. Indiana fan.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Josh Hoover. Hoover.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: Get done. This one is, what is it? Catherine White, 5443.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: I hear Tara allude to women not listening, but gentlemen,
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: we are here. My husband is a football fan, but
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: I started listening two years ago, and you guys are awesome.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: We love you, and my husband would never forgive me
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: if I did not add hashtag GBR corn emoji, hashtag
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: tear talk.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Shout out, Catherine, dude.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, shout out to the ladies that listen to the show.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: I love that. What would be the numbers, Jared, for
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: female listeners on YouTube? Are we talking 95.5? I want
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: to crunch those. I think it's like a little below 1%,
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: but they're probably watching on their husband's accounts.
• 40:49
  Speaker 11: That's probably the issue.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: It's got to be 50-50. Is it 1%? I don't know,
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: but I'll look at it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: I think it legitimately might be 4%.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: And she's part of the 4%. We got some 4%ers
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: out there, man.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: But on your pod, so on your YouTube, your wife
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: have a different account from you?
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: You want me to read it? We have the real numbers. Yeah,
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: because you guys could share an account. Say you do
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: YouTube TV and you're operating just the same account across
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: the board. My TV at my house is logged into mine.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: If McKenzie watches anything on it, it's under mine. That's
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: what I was going to say, yeah. Go ahead, Clem.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: It is 96.9% male, 2.9% female. There we go.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Does that equal 100%?
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Let's end it how we just said it.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: That's a stronger number than I actually expected.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: That's actually good.
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: Shut the lady showing up, man. That's big time. That's
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: big time.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: Matthew Knoll Camper, tier one fellas, great pod per usual
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: tier talk. What were your favorite and least favorite NFL
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: stadiums to play at? Which one jumps out in your mind, Delaney?
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: Oakland Raiders Stadium. Yeah. Favorite or least?
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Least favorite.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's probably got to be number one. Yeah, number one.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: What's that away locker room like? Their locker?
• 42:17
  Speaker 14: Trash.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, my trash. One bathroom, right? Two bathrooms only.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's like two stalls.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Two stalls. That's it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for 53 guys.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: With no doors.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: And then that was when it had the baseball on
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: it too.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: That was just horrendous.
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: You get down to that crazy section over there in
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter and you get down there and just
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: get a contact high from everybody just smoking a bunch
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: of weed.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: It's nuts.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of another one though.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: What about Mile High? Mile High? I don't think it
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: was bad.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, that was hard to play for sure.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: It's like you kind of like it though.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: That's like its own little element.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I would always enjoy playing in the stadium Philly
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: because the fan bases, they're absolute psychos. That was always
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: fun to play in. The locker room wasn't. Yeah, like
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: I enjoyed playing at Philly. Yeah, Philly.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: What was your favorite? Was Philly actually your favorite?
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: Unless another one comes to mind, like that's what's in
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: my head. It was always just exciting because it's like
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: the boos, just how hostile it is. It's like fun
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: playing in those environments.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: Another one I never liked playing in was Houston.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: I hate it.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: You get in the bus and you have to walk
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: all the way across the field with all your stuff.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: All your stuff. Yeah.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I wasn't a fan of that.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: Me neither. Locker room isn't terrible though.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: Locker room's not terrible.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: It's not terrible. Dallas was always fun to play at like,
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: cause they're like, I mean, that jersey was sick to
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: play in.
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: Rams is nice too.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: And you walk through the club in Dallas. Yeah. Like
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: me growing up being a fan of Dallas, it was
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: always surreal. It was always sick playing in Dallas.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: I think, but I think like fun place to play at,
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: it was always like the loudest ones, like Seattle and
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: Kansas City.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: I was going to say Kansas City.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: Kansas City to me is, because we actually had like
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: some success there and some like massive games and some
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: freezing cold games.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: And my first game ever in the NFL was at
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: the Chiefs Stadium, which was- Oh yeah, 2014. We actually
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: donkey stomped them. I got in the game at the end.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh shit, I'm playing in the NFL.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: I'm playing. The Chiefs are cool, but their away locker
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: room kind of sucks. The locker room for Kansas City
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: for the away team, I feel like it kind of sucks.
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: It's small. It's really, really small.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is small, but I love how loud it is.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: I love playing. It's like we turn up.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then also just anytime you can see your breath. Like,
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: and you're having like big time games. Like it was
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: so fun. That game was crazy.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: What game was that?
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: That was the, the, we were down like 20 something
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: to three. And that's when Marcus had the pass to himself.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: Derek had that big run at the end of the
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: game to the left.
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: Did they call it the Tundra boat?
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: It was one of the coldest games in Kansas city history.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: In history, bro. I mean, It looked sick.
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: It's a picture of us they used to have at
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: the facility of all of us lined up.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: And he just- Exhaling at one time.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: Exhaling at one time. It looks sick. It looks sick. Yeah,
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: that is awesome. I never enjoyed playing in New York. Same.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: The Jets and Giants.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: I didn't like Midlife.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Because they had the, not confusion of locker room, but
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: you just knew there were different locker rooms for New York,
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: for the Giants and the Jets. And I just, I
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: don't know. I never enjoyed playing like on their turf field.
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: It's just always like, and you know, that was also like,
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: not that they're good now by any means, but not
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: a lot of people show up. I just never really
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: liked playing in New York.
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: A field I never liked playing on was Dallas'. I
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: feel like their turf was too bouncy. It felt weird
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: on my feet.
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: I kind of enjoyed that. You liked the bounce? Yeah.
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: It was softer. Yeah.
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: I feel like with a bounce, when your feet have
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: to be so close as an offensive lineman, I feel
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: like I could trip really easily. Wasn't a fan of that.
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: I felt unstable on that. There was more of a
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: trampoliness to it.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: Lambo's sick.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I love Lambo.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Lambo's awesome.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: The shitty part of Lambo is it's just a long
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: walk to the field, like going.
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: Down all the stairs. It's just a long, nice stadium hallway.
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: Lambo is cool, though. I didn't like New England. The
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: lights are too low for me.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, I bet that's weird.
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: You could look up, and it's just blinding the shit
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: out of you. You can't catch the ball. I just
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: never liked the New England stadium.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: You know what I kind of like is Jacksonville. I
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: kind of mess with Jacksonville State.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember.
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: We always, we got to get poked up every time
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: we play.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. The locker room's roomy. It is roomy.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: It's huge.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: Just like, I would always look up like timeouts and
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: see like fans just swimming. That's kind of unreal. What
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: an event for them to do that. Just while an
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: NFL game's going on, you're catching laps.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: Playing Marco Polo.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: You look up and he's like, they just in a
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: swimming pool. I'm like, fuck, I need to worry about
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: this game.
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: It looks so nice, too. But a December game in
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Jacksonville sucks.
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't like going to Jacksonville. I dread Jacksonville.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: It's going to be hot 24-7.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: Colts is nice. Colts, I love the Colts indoor.
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: I don't think indoor stadiums, I really can't complain about
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: indoor stadiums.
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Arizona was nice. As you're saying that, I'm trying
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: to just go through all the indoors.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: One locker room that sucks. Chicago's locker room sucks.
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's a terrible feel. Well, they got turf now, right?
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: They have the worst film, too.
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: You gotta watch the film. You gotta be on the
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: same level.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: The film is crazy. Crazy. You got the overhang going on.
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: Couldn't see anything from the side view, ever.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Like the 80s and shit. It's like all grainy. It's like,
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: what the hell are we watching?
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: Sherm, you pull up that next year talk for me.
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: was that one uh the elite shark hashtag tear talk
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: no homers who is the most fun team in the
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: nfl to bandwagon this year most fun team no homer.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: No homers would would i be considered a homer if
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: i say dallas.
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah i guess you would because you grew up yeah.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: Because i'm excited to watch dallas this year.
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: No homers i think a really fun team to get
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: behind this year's gonna be the bears.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: Clean take?
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: That's a clean take. Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams, they're going
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: to be exciting to watch all year long. So I'm
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: fired about watching the Bears.
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: Caleb Williams with the mustache? Is it a mustache right now? Yeah.
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: Short hair and a mustache. He might got it this year. Wait, that's...
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: Jalen Hurts did that too, yes. A dirty Sanchez. No, no,
• 48:38
  Speaker 11: he got a nice mustache.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: He looked nice?
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: You like what you see?
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: I feel like all four teams too in the NFC
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: North would be fun to bandwagon as far as not
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: having any allegiance in that division. Because it's like Green Bay,
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: if they were rolling, they're finally putting it all together.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: With Chicago, they're ramping up from last year. All the
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: things we just said. Yeah, all the things we just said.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Detroit would be getting back on track and Campbell's always,
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: that would always be fun to bandwagon. And then Minnesota,
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: if Kyler Murray is electric, And McConnell's got the offense running.
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: Flores has got the defense running. I feel like anybody
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: who's kind of showing out in the NFC North would
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: be fun to bandwagon.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: And Minnesota's got a sneaky underrated fan base to be
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: a part of.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: They're with the chance. They get after it. Their stadium's
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: really nice.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, that's a good thing.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: That's a fun stadium to play in.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: It's kind of the same for the AFC West, other
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: than the Raiders. because we like, like chiefs are going
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: to be good. Chargers going to be good.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: Broncos.
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: That's going to be a very like competitive division.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: I just feel like the chiefs are just, even though
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: that they're down.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: No, I know.
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Just taking my own personal, like the stuff that
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: I do with the chiefs, but they're just such a
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: popular team, no matter what, that it's like, they've had
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: the dynasty. They've won a lot. If you're bandwagon them, like,
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that would come off as fun.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: That's a fair point.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: And like, quote, real Chief fans would be like, what
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: are you bandwagoning? They'd be like gatekeeping the fandom. They'd
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: be gatekeeping the fandom, which we learned earlier.
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: That's true, because they are, yeah, they are like wildly popular.
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: They are a wildly popular fan base. I'm trying to think,
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: would there be anybody? Would be fun, would be if
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: Jacksonville's the front runner in the, I mean, I obviously
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: say that sitting in between two alums. I mean, they
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: were last year. I know, but there's no, like, fandom
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: that comes with it. Like, every week with Taylor, I'm
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: just talking about him being sneaky, but there's no, like,
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: popularity that gets behind Jacksonville.
• 50:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: You know what might be a sneaky one is the Saints.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: Good culture, the fan base, just being, like, recency biased,
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: being in Baton Rouge where everyone there is also a
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Saints fan.
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: Like, seeing, like, the grit of all of it and
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: be like, it'd be cool to, like, immerse yourself in, like,
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: a New Orleans fandom. Be like, yeah, Shook's the guy
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: this year.
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: We got to get it done. Olave just got paid.
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: He stays healthy. He's the best wide receiver in the league.
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: I can get behind all these words. Could be. Yeah,
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: it could be fun. You guys have any top of
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: mind that could be fun to bandwagon? And not your homers. Oh, sorry.
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: You go ahead.
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: I think the Texans would be fun. Just how nasty
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: the defense is. And then it's contract year for Stroud.
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: I think he's going to step it up this year,
• 51:19
  Speaker 10: but the Texans are, Always a fun watch. That might
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: be a fun one to finally break through, maybe make
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: a conference championship.
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: Chargers.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, bro. I don't know why when you were saying that,
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: it made me think, but like the Bills. Like being
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: a part of Bills Mafia would be awesome. Josh Allen,
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: new coach, even though the coach was there last year.
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: That would be, that's another fun one.
• 51:37
  Speaker 13: With Jack Coleman in the office now, being such a
• 51:40
  Speaker 13: diehard Giants fan, it would be a.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: Lot of fun.
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: Just because I like the whole Jackson Dart.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I love the camp scout and stuff.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: Like, That would be fun. Neighbors goes off. John Harbaugh's
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: first year. Odell's back.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: It feels very like we're back kind of vibes. Odell
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: did make the team, correct? I'm correct. He was on
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: the team.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: And he switched back to 13, which is awesome. He
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: gave it to him. I think they released Jalen Hyde.
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: That's how it works. That's how it works. Well, they
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: gave it back to him? I guess the answer is yes.
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: They did give it back to him. Um, you want
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: to hit this? Oh, we're kind of like, this is
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: kind of where we're at right now.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, bro. We have, um, yeah, a loaded interview segment,
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it. We have Drew Brees,
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Luke Keekly, Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Venturi. This one, we went
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: back to the hall of fame a few weeks ago
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: and we got to sit down with the entire class.
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: I was getting into the hall of fame. Joe Thomas,
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: I believe will be next week, but we have four
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: guys sitting on, For this episode and their four bangers,
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: like listening to, I mean, honestly, all of them, but
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: obviously as a linebacker, listening to Keekly and Breeze kind
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: of go back and forth on recapping some of their
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: best games against each other. And then each of them
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: talking about each other as far as how they saw
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: them as a player.
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: In such a positive light.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was poetic. Very genuine too. I think you
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: guys are going to enjoy it.
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: This segment is sponsored by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: Big slate of games this weekend, boys.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: Huge.
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: Week one of the NFL is here. We'll officially be 100%
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: on football. Round of applause for that.
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: And Sunday Ticket too, it's like the multi-view. When you
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: get the four boxes going, just the noon slate that's
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: opening up. I know For myself, it'll be the Bucks
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: and Bengals, Jets and Titans. We get to see Cam Ward.
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: Cam Ward at home, seeing them make a jump. Ravens, Colts, Bills, Texans.
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: Those will be the four slots. It's going to be
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: on Willie C's multi-view. come Sunday. Yeah, dude.
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, the noon slate is incredible. You look at
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: the Bucs and you look at the Bengals. It's like
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: Joe Burrow, is this finally here? He can get over
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: the hump. Is he going to stay healthy? You see
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: the firepower and all the highlights coming out. For the Bucs,
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: it's like Vita Vey, he wanted to get traded. Then
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden he signs a big contract. Baker
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: Mayfield is official chip on a shoulder type of guy
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: right now because he was only offered a two-year contract,
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: but it wasn't exactly what he wanted. So now it's like,
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: Who are the Bucks going to be? Who are the
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: favorite to win the NFC South?
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: And those two both, especially I'm thinking Bengals as far
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: as our bandwagon talk. Bengals would be fun to bandwagon.
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: And the best part about like week one of the
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: NFL season is regardless of how much heartbreak you go
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: through as a fan, there's always the hope and optimism
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: of week one at finally being your year. You look
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: at the Jets and the Titans, two teams that have been,
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: had better years, but now going into this year, it's
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: like Geno Smith, Get him going. You already brought up
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: Cam Ward. What's that new offense and defense going to
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: look like in Nashville where we sit right now? Like,
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: there's so much to look forward to. Just the excitement
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: of the fan base, too. It's like, again, you got
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: a new staff. People feel really good about the staff.
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: You know, feel good about Cam Ward. It's just an
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: exciting year to see this new version of the Tennessee Titans.

  Speaker 5: Yes, dude.
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: Then you got King Henry up north going against the Colts.
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: The Ravens versus the Colts. Lamar Jackson's healthy. Jesse Minter,
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: the new coach there. Who are the Ravens going to

  Speaker 6: be this year?

• 55:07
  Speaker 6: them a lot this year. I like that defense having

• 58:43
  Speaker 5: That a lot.
• 58:44
  Speaker 6: That's probably the first question we should ask. Drew, are
• 58:46
  Speaker 6: you here? Are you sitting on that side? Are you
• 58:49
  Speaker 6: not seeing that side of Will Compton doesn't enter your
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: life at one point?
• 58:52
  Speaker 8: Iron sharpens iron.
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: Every day for 10 days.
• 58:59
  Speaker 8: I know he had nightmares.
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: I know he had a little bit of PTSD because
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: he came to Washington, I believe, in 2015.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: And we drug him pretty good.
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: We got waxed.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: What'd you do?
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: Oh, I balled.
• 59:12
  Speaker 6: You balled out?
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: It was one of my first starts when I like
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: took over the job and we won like 34 to 14.
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: Dude, we tried to chase him with the line. You're like, oh,
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: I watched this shit too.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: Don't worry.
• 59:20
  Speaker 6: You knew exactly where they were going.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: We lined up. We had a double mug going on
• 59:25
  Speaker 5: and it was third down and short. They had Ingram
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: in the backfield. Drew Brees gets to the line of scrimmage.
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: Drew Brees, obviously, he's sitting right here. But he checks
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: to a sweep, a toss, because he sees his double
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: mugged up. I'm trying to yell, and they end up
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: fucking scoring on the play. Yeah, but you knew. But
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: I knew. That was one of their two touches.
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: That's where you go back and watch a film. You
• 59:43
  Speaker 6: tell the coach, listen, I know this is a team sport,
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: but these 10 other guys fucked up. Like, this is
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: actually on them.
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: I called this out. You see the film.
• 59:50
  Speaker 8: I'm doing this.
• 59:51
  Speaker 6: Keeping it on the subject of Will Compton, Luke, when
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: you're coming out of B.C., Do you hear about the
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: young Thundercat in Nebraska of Will Compton kind of chomping
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: at the bit a little bit? Like you're a spicy
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: white linebacker.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 14: He's out there just kidding on Nebraska number 51. Energy, passion,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 14: Cornhusker football. I was like, this guy's come for everybody's job.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: He's got it all right now.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: Every week I'd go to the stat sheet and see like,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: you know, it was like you, it was Tao.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: There's another guy, Borland.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: And this dude, when you're like learning about his name
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: in college, because again, like no disrespect to Boston College,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: but it's a linebacker at Boston College. But he's averaging like, what,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: 15 a game at Boston College? We were on the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: field a lot. Yeah, you were. Either way, you were
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: just getting a.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Million tackles every year and it'd be just Luke Keekly
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: at the top.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 14: When you play like 90 snaps a game, 15's not
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 14: that many.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 6: 24's a lot.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: Well, that was a rain game.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: 35 is a lot too. What are we talking about?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: You remember that game?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: Andy picked me off of that game too.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 14: Drew, do you remember two weeks before that game you
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 14: played you guys in the dome?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 14: And you guys beat it. It was Sunday night football.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 14: They beat us like 40 to 10.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 14: And you guys scored a touchdown. It was like the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 14: high red. And on our sideline, it was, it was
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 14: right to left. So you guys are left to right.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: And we ran that.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 14: Like we were all at the line of scrimmage and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 14: you guys had some like two verticals with a wheel.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: Do you remember that play?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 14: Did you know we were going to run that defense
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 14: at that position on the field?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: I knew that was in your bag of tricks, and
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: it was just a matter of when it came out.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: We just happened to have a perfect check for it.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: And, Will, you know how this goes. You come to
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: the sideline.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: You're mad.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 14: That song is playing in that stadium. Don't stop. I'm
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 14: going to start crawling. And we get to the sideline,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 14: and I'm like, I know exactly what the play was.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 14: This is what we should have done. And our coach
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 14: came to the side, and he said, hey, they got
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 14: us on that one. I was like, all right, so
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 14: we're not in trouble? You guys still should have got there,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 14: but they had us.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: You still fucked up.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 6: Sounds like two plays that you got lucky on, Drew,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: is what they just said.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: Pretty much.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: Your life is just luck. Timing is everything.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: Drew, you are a broadcaster. You got to get a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: little bit closer.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: You can pull it towards you.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: I got you. We're good. There we go. All right.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 8: Keep it down a little bit.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: Whatever you want. It's kind of up to you. Hey,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: how's it feel? How does it feel to be getting
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: inducted in the hall of fame right now?
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 8: Pretty surreal.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: It's surreal.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. Pretty open.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: You feel free to express yourself.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: Like I I've been asked the question a few times, like,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: you know, when did you know?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 8: And, and honestly, I look played 20 years, right?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: From 2001 to 2020 and, and never, never did the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: thought really enter my mind or did I ever think
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: about it? I think you're just so laser focused on
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: the job at hand and winning and being the best
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: teammate that you could be. And, um, and even upon retirement, um,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I, you, it just, it feels, it
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: just feels like a pipe.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 8: Dream, you know? Um, like, oh, that, that, that'll never
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: happen to me.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: That that's, you know, that's for these, these guys that
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: were just the Titans of the game, you know? And
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden you get that knock at
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: your door and, and you realize it's, it's going to
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: be a reality. And I think it's been this slow
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: journey over the last eight months. I still don't think
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: it's fully hit me. And Maybe it will after the speech.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe it will once you put the gold jacket on.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 8: But I.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: Think what's been the most profound for me is whenever
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: I've seen a Hall of Famer now, it's like they're
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: just looking at you a little different.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 8: They're talking to you a little different.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: And so each one of those moments has just been
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: real special and real unique.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: How about for you, Luke?
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 14: I think Drew kind of nailed it. It's the moments
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 14: that come to this week. And I think the first
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 14: moment is certainly when the knock happens. Julius Peppers was
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 14: standing in my house. I think that's the big one.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 14: And then you go to Super Bowl. And then I
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 14: think the first big moment at Super Bowl is when
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 14: you walk out on the stage and all the guys
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 14: in gold jackets come up.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: On the stage.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 14: And it was Steve Young and Barry Sanders and Anthony Munoz,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 14: a guy that I grew up watching with the Cincinnati
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 14: Bengals and then you fast forward.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: We're here in April.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 14: We were sitting in this room and having meetings and
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 14: it starts to feel more real. And then you start
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 14: to talk about your speech and plan your speech and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 14: write your speech and read through it. Did I get everybody?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 14: You start planning for this week. And then you come
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 14: up here and you're in the lobby and you start
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 14: to see the guys and you're like, Hey, enjoy this
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 14: week and soak it all in. It's going to, it's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 14: going to go by in a blink of an eye
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 14: and make sure you enjoy it. And then I think,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 14: you know, we're here now and we started this morning
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 14: and we're with you guys at the hall of fame
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 14: and we've got a busy schedule for the rest of
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 14: the day. And I think tonight will be really cool.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 14: The hall of fame game in the stadium. And then
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 14: I think drew nailed it tomorrow. Let's say it today's Thursday,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 14: tomorrow night, Friday night's a gold jacket dinner and talking
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 14: to all the guys. That sounds like the best, one
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 14: of the coolest experiences that they remember when we walk
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 14: in and you pick somebody and they put the jacket
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 14: on you. That to me, um, is one of those moments.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 14: And then, when you give your speech and.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: It's all, that's what the cool part is.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 14: It's, it kind of mimics your football career from, you know,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 14: your first, your first, you get drafted and then your
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 14: first OTAs and then your first snap. And then, you know,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 14: maybe the first time, you know, you win a playoff
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 14: game and it's very similar to your journey as a
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 14: player as to now it's the moments that lead up to,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 14: I think when we'll be standing up on stage, giving
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 14: the speech.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be so surreal.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: Cause obviously when you're a young player, like a kid
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: growing up, loving the game, falling in love, watching all
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: the guys you watched, envisioning and dreaming of being in like,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: oh man, it'd be sick if I could be in
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame one day. And it's got to
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: feel weird too, knowing that you're now etched in Hall
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: of Fame, NFL, you know, eternity forever. Knowing that like
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: when you're a player too, you're always coached so hard
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 5: to where there's always a, Joe was talking about imposter
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: syndrome when we had him sit down, but there is
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: always that, man, am I good enough for the coaches
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: that are pushing me and teaching me And you're just
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: kind of in that headspace your entire career of wanting
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: to be good enough. And now you're getting the knock
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: on the door and you're going to be in the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame forever. Etched in as one of the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: best players of all time at your guys' position. It's
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: got to be insane. You said something interesting. Obviously, we've
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: all played a lot of football at a lot of
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: different levels.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: And I don't know about you, but I think at
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: every level, every time you stepped into the next level,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: there was a moment where something happened or you looked
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: around and you were like, man, I don't know if
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: I belong.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 8: Like, I don't know. I don't know if I'm good
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 8: enough right now for this. And then you, you, you
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 8: figure it out, right.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: Whether it was a coach or a mentor, just the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: reps or, you know, your teammates rallying around you. And then,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: you know, you, you became good enough. And then it
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: was kind of the, and then you went to the
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: next level and I was like, well, am I good
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: enough to play at this level? And, But again, it's
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: just creeping up with each of those levels. Is that
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: Nebraska's fight song?
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: That was something.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 6: What fight song is that?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 8: Andy, what fight song is that?
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 6: What fight song is that?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 8: Is that McKinley? Is that McKinley High School fight song there?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: I love that.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 8: Does that get you fired up, McKinley?
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 14: We never played McKinley. We played Massillon in a state
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 14: championship game. I actually watched that game as a freshman
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 14: in high school. It was Fawcett Field back then. So
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 14: that was my second game. I watched another state championship game.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 14: Elder Panthers played. I forget who they played. And then
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 14: the St. Xavier Bombers took down Massillon.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: In the state championship game.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, you did.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah. You were the punt return for touchdown? No,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: not me, not me.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 14: I was a freshman in the stands just watching.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, I thought you was like.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 14: We did play here in my junior year in the
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 14: state championship game against Mentor, Ohio.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: That seemed like it.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 14: It went well.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: It was good.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, you won?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: We won. Okay.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: State champion.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: Usually people leave with that.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: We won a state championship when we did this one.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: Building, you know?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 6: Usually when someone says they went to a state championship,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: it's like, oh, I don't elaborate on that.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we played.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: We played.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we played.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: You state champion?
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: You state champion?
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Drew?
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 8: Yes. Same.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: Shout out to us.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: Damn, we always stay champions.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: Sophomore year, 15 and 0. Shout out Cactus Shadows, man.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 6: Only one in school history.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: What state?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: No, that's a great state of Arizona, sir. Best state
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 6: in the union is what it is. I'll argue with
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 6: the best state of all time. Yeah, people say that.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: Who says that?
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: I've never heard anyone say that. The more I think
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 6: about it, the more I'm like, yeah, so many people
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 6: actually say that. That's crazy.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 8: It's about 115 degrees down there, right?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. You have forge and fire.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody wants to be there right now.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 6: Everyone wants to buy iron sharpened iron. It's like, okay,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: then go fucking do it then. Get down there and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 6: get after it in the heat.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: Melt the cleats.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. Anywho, what was a moment where you guys
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 6: were like, hey, the Hall of Fame is a real
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 6: possibility for me? Because when we were all in the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: NFL at the same time, And I know, I'm hearing
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 6: about Luke Keeley 24-7. Anytime you play the Panthers, it's like,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: if you block this guy, you get yards. If you don't,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: he's going to ruin the game for you. Anytime you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 6: go into New Orleans, it's like, Drew Brees, he's going
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 6: to ruin the game for everybody. They're never counted out.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: I came into the league and viewed you guys as
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 6: already Hall of Fame cats, but when did it register
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 6: in your brain? We were like, oh, this is a
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 6: real possibility for me to put on a gold jacket someday.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 8: Uh, I'll be honest. I, I, I never wanted my
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 8: mind to go there.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: Um, because I always felt like there was something more
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: to accomplish and something more to prove. Um, I mean, I,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: I can, I can reference, you know, the last, I
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: don't know, four or five years of my career, you
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: go to an event, you get introduced as future hall
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: of famer and you're just.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 6: Like, ah, I don't want to hear it.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: I got, you know, too much, too much still to
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: accomplish too much to, you know, I, I, so honestly,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: I truly tried not to, to think of it, but naturally,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: you know, I, I guess the, the numbers and the
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: yards and everything start adding up and you're like, okay,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: well maybe.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: Maybe, maybe 5,000 yards every single year, but yeah, maybe
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: it'll take place for me. What about you, Luke?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: That's a good question.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 14: I think with the length of your career, you always wonder,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 14: did you do enough in that, in that window? And
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 14: like Drew said, you never, while you're playing, all you
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 14: want to do is, is be a great teammate and
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: try to win. And I think that kind of, controls
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 14: your mind, controls your brain. You don't let anything else
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 14: come from the outside because you just love playing the
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 14: game of football and you want to play as long
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 14: as you can. I think that's really, I think probably
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 14: what motivated Drew was just the love of playing. And
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 14: that's what motivated me. So you don't think about it
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 14: as much while you're playing. But I think for me,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 14: you know, you look at, you know, contemporaries and people
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 14: that play the same position. And I think the one
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 14: guy that had a very similar career path to me
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 14: was Patrick Willis. So Patrick played eight years, very similar
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 14: career path. And when Patrick got in, I was like, okay,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 14: like there's, there's a real possibility that it could happen.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 14: You know, I think, you know, with Drew, it was just,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 14: all right, when five years is up after Drew's done,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 14: he's going to be getting it. And then when I
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 14: saw that Patrick got in, it was like, okay, there's,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 14: there's an opportunity. And like Drew said, you know, you
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 14: go to things and you talk to people and people
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 14: are like, oh, you'll get in, you'll get in, you'll
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 14: get in, you'll get in. You just, number one, is
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 14: it true? And then you never know how long it
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 14: will take. So I don't think you necessarily think about
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 14: it as much while you're playing. I certainly didn't. But
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 14: then when you get done playing, if you stay around
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 14: the game, you're just around people that continually talk about it.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 14: And then it doesn't really ever settle in until Pep
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 14: was sitting in the hallway of my house or the
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 14: living room of my house.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you and Pat getting in because, again, it's like
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: when that conversation would come up, it's like, is the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 5: body of work long enough? And then, obviously, when Patrick
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: Willis gets in, it's like, oh, it's going to be
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: a no-brainer. Yeah.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: When you were sitting on the bus and you were explaining, like,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: all the stuff you had to go through that you
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: ended up saying, okay, I have to walk away from
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: the game because of whatever was taking place, when you
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: were making that decision, was there ever a thought of, like,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: maybe I should play one more, try to play one more.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: Cause then the hall of fame is more likely. Did
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 6: that ever cross your mind at all?
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: No, honestly it didn't.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 14: Um, I think really the only thing that ever crossed
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 14: my mind is like, man, am I really ready to
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 14: stop playing? And I think that was the real, the
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 14: real question in my mind was, I think you, everybody
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 14: should have a respect for the game and respect for
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 14: what it's given to all of us and the experiences
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 14: and the opportunities that we've all had. And I think
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 14: when it's your time, it's your time. And, um, for me,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 14: I knew it was, it was my time that I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 14: want it to be no, but that's just, that's part
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 14: of the game. And so when I retired, I was very,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 14: I was very much at peace with it. The only
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 14: thing I thought in my mind was like, man, I'm
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 14: going to miss coming out here. And you know, the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 14: last game I ever played against was against.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: This guy right here.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: No way. Yep. So it's kind of cool.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: It worked out.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 14: I think it shows you that the timings always was
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 14: always right. Was my last game was against the best
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 14: player that ever played against with Drew and that to
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 14: me was cool and that last game was at home
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 14: in Bank of America Stadium against Drew and Sean and
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 14: my parents were there it was great and my brother.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Was there too.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: Who won the game?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: Who won the match?
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: I was reading something I think it was like 44
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: to something.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we put up some numbers.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 14: You know, when Drew knew he was a Hall of Famer,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 14: he was like, yeah, 2019, we played Carolina Week 17.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: That's what it was.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's when we solidified everything for him.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: Who did get the better of who? I want to say,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: I think you guys did, Drew. There was so much
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: back and forth, though. You know what it was? Honestly,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: it was so hard to beat each other twice in
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: a year. Like, I think we split just about every year.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 14: Drew beat us three times in one year.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: Drew's being so humble right now.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: But it's good to be humble.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 8: I think we split every year.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 5: See, now I was trying to be nice to you. No.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: Legitimately, we split so many times. And honestly, it was
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: like you guys beat us as much at our place
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: as we might have beat you at your place.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 8: It was just a ton of back and forth.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: It was so fun.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. For you, what do you remember game
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 5: planning against... the defense that Carolina had in general, but
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 5: also Luke, who you had a guy that a lot
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 5: of IQ, a lot of neck up ability, that could
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: break down a lot of what you guys did offensively
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: through self-scouting.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: Sneaky athletic.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 5: Keep it going, Will.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 6: We can talk about the tangibles.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 5: Neck up guy, limited, but still got time.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: Not limited at all.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 5: What was the vert? Just a slot. Yeah, we're past that.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: Four or five. You had all the tangibles, but legitimately,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: a quarterback with your ability, you're in there in the
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 5: film room looking at this guy.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 8: I would say normally you have your pre-snap routine.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: Which is, you know, always blink the front.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: The front would give you indicators as to, you know,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: what pressures or, you know, potentially coverages they would play
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: behind it. And then you kind of go next level
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 4: to backers. Then you're starting to feel safeties and the
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: technique of corners, et cetera. That was normal. Like when
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: I would play, whenever we would play Carolina, I would
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: break the huddle and I would stare at Luke because
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: to me, he was the guy that could ruin your
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: game plan. And so I would immediately just try to
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: track his eyes and what he was seeing and And
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: then what he was processing and how he was communicating
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: to his teammates. And in so many cases, like I
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: could tell he's looking at running back depth is going
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: to tell you run or pass. He's looking at if
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: it's fullback in the game is the, you know, the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: guard look like he's light on his hands. He's going
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: to pull, you know, do we have speed in the slot?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: You know, a lot of cases for us, that was
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: an indicator of, hey, we're about to go play action
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: and take a shot. So all these things, and he's
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: sitting there processing it, and he's telling this guy to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: set the edge, or he's saying, hey, Thomas, they're.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: Going over here.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 6: Hey, guard, pull.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: You know, run over here. Or, hey, safeties, get your
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: butts back. They're about to take a shot. And so
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: literally he would, like– Just call out the play that
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: we're about to run. And he was right about 98
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: percent of the time. And in other words, like our goal,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: whenever we would play them was like, can we fool
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: Luke like just one time in this game?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 8: Can we can we call something that would fool him?
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: And it was very, very rare.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: But he was he was the the game plan for
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: us was how how can we make sure that he
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: doesn't ruin our day by telling everybody on his side
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: of the ball what we're doing and then having.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 8: Them stop it. Did you ever get them?
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: Was there ever a time where you were really tricked?
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: It was rare.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 8: I can remember all of them, Taylor.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: We're sitting there talking and you're like, we're getting them
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: on this one.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: When you were just talking, I saw Luke kind of
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: looking past me just really remembering all of the plays.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: He was playing a movie in his head just now.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: Here's one that's pretty vivid. So 2018, we come to
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: y'all's place. It was a night game. Um, and it
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: ended up being pretty close. Um, and we won like 13,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: nine or something like that, but we had stolen a
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: play that the Browns had run earlier that year.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 14: That was a Jarvis Landry player.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: Where it's like you, you pull guard and then you
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: run some sort of a reverse away from it.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: So the indicator is, Hey, ball's going here. And then the,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: you know, you're actually, it's a misdirection. It's going the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: other way. So we were like, Hey, it got them like,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: Cleveland got him on this six weeks ago. So if
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: we run it, there's no way that they remember this
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: and we're going to be successful. And so sure enough,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: we run it and he sniffs that thing. I mean,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: like ignore guard pull and he just shoots straight to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: where the ball is going and tackles us for a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: four yard loss.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 8: And it's just like.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, everybody else on the team is going the
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: other way, but this guy's tackling us for a four-yard loss.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: That's pretty badass. Drew Brees sitting here waxing poetic about Luke.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 14: But to start the story, Drew was like, yeah, it
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 14: was close, and we ended up winning.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: He had a good play on the backfield. Yeah, it
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 5: was good.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: Literally the only thing I'd ever think of that has
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: fooled you, there's actual evidence of being fooled, is the
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: salt and pepper in the Super Bowl.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 6: When you just... My man doesn't see color, so he
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: just didn't infect him at all.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 5: There you go. You're so nice to me.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go. Is that the only, like, what
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: is the time that you think you got God?
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: And by the way, that's such a fundamental miss. I
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: feel like on Luke's part, when he's saying that, I'm like,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: how do you not?
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: That's when somebody's so deep in the weeds of understanding everything,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: then he misses the thing sitting right in front of him.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: It's like, you hear salt. It's like, where's the white guy?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: That's where we're going.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 8: Do you remember?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: So they'd always run the double A mug stuff, right?
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: And that was the biggest headache for us because you're, you,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: you just, you really just have to guess who's coming.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 8: And they mixed it up so well.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: And in most cases, like you would, you'd pay attention
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: to Mike point, you know, if you knew the center
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: was going here, then you bring the other guy.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: So we were like, how can we make it look
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: like we're pointing one guy, but we're talking about the
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: other guy. So I don't know if you remember this,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: it was in new Orleans. So in the dome and
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: we came up with this call and it was, it
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: was a Bozo call. So if I said Bozo 59,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: I was obviously talking, I was, pointing you out as
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: if we're blocking you, but it was telling the center, no,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: go away from the Bozo, right?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 8: And then.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: And we called it one time and you gave me
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: this look like, did you just call me a bozo?
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 5: Trying to figure out.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 8: What it was.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 14: Cause you usually look for like R and L words.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 14: And I was like, Z bozo, four letters.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 8: Is that left?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 14: So then it's my right. So, but then he went
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 14: to the, he went to my left, which is the right.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 14: And that was Thomas. Then you go to the sideline
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 14: and look at the picture because you remember like, all right, Hey,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 14: so the third down call was bozo and he bozo me,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 14: but then he went to Thomas. So is it, Is
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 14: it Thomas or is it left?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 5: Is it right?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 14: It obviously wasn't left because he went to the right,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 14: my left.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Still got you in the blender. He's thinking about it.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 8: So we just make up words.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: Do you have any incredibly nice things to say about
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 5: Drew Briggs?
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 14: That's the speech for you. This is the coolest part.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 14: Early in my career, you'd always look for guys. I
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 14: grew up watching Drew. And you want to, you want
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 14: to know why guys are great. And is it, you know,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 14: you hear about his preparation and his leadership and the
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 14: accuracy and the ability to throw it all over the place,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 14: but you always wonder why, like, why does this guy
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 14: do that? And then you start, you know, you see
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 14: pictures of, you would go into the stadium and go
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 14: through progressions with no one there.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 14: And then there was, and I was like, all right,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 14: that's cool. And then I would go out before games
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 14: and warm up. And I remember this was, My first,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 14: it was, it was my third year. I think you
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 14: guys played us in 2014 at home at night. And
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 14: I remember going out on the field, getting my warmup
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 14: and you were out there going through your, your pregame routine.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 14: You know, when guys go out, no helmets, no jerseys, just,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 14: you know, sweats or whatever. And you went through a pat,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 14: like it was just routes on air and your drop
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 14: was perfect where the ball was perfect, where your eyes
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 14: were perfect. You hitched and threw the ball. It was like,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 14: they're running like big, like a big seven. um and
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 14: that ball got thrown to a spot and I was
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 14: like he's no one's gonna catch that ball and and
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 14: then it was like all the way down the field
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 14: like that but after every throw ball got thrown and
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 14: then it was you know you would go two three
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 14: four or whatever the progression was and it wasn't you
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 14: see some guys that'll throw it and then they look
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 14: and look and look and all right it was like
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 14: boom footwork footwork eyes footwork and like you'd even have
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 14: like for a short ball Cause you know, you get high,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 14: the ball soars, your shoulder stays down, that ball can
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 14: stay low. And so you see all of that and
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 14: it shows you that how you do anything is how
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 14: you do everything. And I could, you know, if you
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 14: think about, I think that was one thing that always
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 14: sticks in my mind. There's a million things, but you
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 14: think about young guys that came to New Orleans, right? Hey,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 14: Sean Payton, Drew Brees, right? And all right, well, what's
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 14: Drew like? Is Drew going to be one of those
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 14: guys that we're going to say, do it this way.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 14: You guys want to do it this way. And then
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 14: the best player doesn't do it that way. So it's,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 14: you know, but with Drew, it's like perfect, perfect, perfect,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 14: perfect every time. So when it gets taught, all the
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 14: young guys look at, well, this is the best player.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 14: We'll just do it like that. There's no, there's no
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 14: question for how things get done because the best player
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 14: is doing it that way. And I think that's, I
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 14: saw that in those, there's a million things, but in
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 14: that pregame warmup of perfect, like ball gets snapped, everything
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 14: is right down the middle and then hitch ball. Because Drew,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 14: you're like, you can explain this to them. If you
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 14: look down the middle of the field, if you see
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 14: these two backers in that safety, you know, if it's,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 14: if it's three, if it's three, is it man? You know,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 14: if it's, If it's single high and you have a
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 14: fifth rusher, now it's zone dog. If it's split safety,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 14: you can tell if is it cover two or is
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 14: it four or is it six? So you don't even
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 14: care what's going on over here. You know your matchup,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 14: you know who you have, and it's Mike Thomas. He's
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 14: going to run a fade. I'm going to throw it
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 14: big to him. Like that to me is what that
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 14: warmup was. And I think it's awesome.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: We interrupt this episode to let you know that the
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: older one gets, the more becomes clear that sex is
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: about quality, not quantity. The vibes just have to be right.
• 1:23:07

• 1:23:10

• 1:23:14

• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: Dude, everything you.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: Just said was badass.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 5: I look back at the boys, I was like.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: Oh my God.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 14: But that's like what, When you watch Drew, it's not
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 14: just like pregame throwing session.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not what it is.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 14: It's like, all right, hey, Panthers are going to play
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 14: a lot of cover three. You've got to hold the
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 14: backside hook player so I get the one-on-one backside with
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 14: Mike Thomas. Like, reason why. So then when you get
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 14: in the game, set hut three, boom, ball.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: Like, then, bam.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah. No, it is. Even when I was in New
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 5: Orleans for a cup of coffee, it was my third team.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 5: It was my fourth head coach. It was something that
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 5: was different that I hadn't seen anywhere else that I played.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: But you talk about him and Coach Payton, we'd be
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: out of practice. This is like we're getting prepped. I
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 5: want to say I got there, got dropped off right
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 5: before the third preseason game. But in that week leading
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 5: up to the fourth preseason week to where you're starting
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 5: to game plan and everything else, Drew would stop practice.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 5: Sean would too. If they see something in a moment,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 5: in a situation, practice would stop. And they would bring
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 5: the whole team. It's like I'm looking around all the teams,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 5: like migrating to the middle. And they're just breaking down
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 5: the detail of the situation that we could potentially be
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 5: in based on something that he might have just seen
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 5: at practice. It's where the entire operation would stop and
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 5: everybody would huddle up and they would just be breaking
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 5: down the situation. Hey, if we're in this situation in
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 5: two minutes or Drew brings up a good point here,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 5: if we get to this spot in the field and
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 5: we see this and they would go through the entire
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 5: play to where, again, the entire script kind of just stops.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 5: To focus on that detail of the situation. Well, it
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 5: matters because it matters. Yeah.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 14: Because you get in that situation and you're so happy
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 14: that you talked about it because then you get in
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 14: that situation. It's like, oh, on Thursday, we talked about this,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 14: this and this. And when we get it, we're going
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 14: to do this, this and this. And then no one
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 14: has to think about it and you go out and
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 14: do it.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 5: It's incredible.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is pretty fascinating. Just the way you're
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: breaking down all that. And then would you call guys
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 6: in if they, if they're, are there drills taking place
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: or is it only in like team setting situations? Like, Hey,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: these are team drills. Oh, I saw this. Let me
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: bring guys in. Or is it sometimes where, Hey, we
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: might be an indie.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: Bring the old line over here. Cause we have to
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 6: talk about this specific situation.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: I think at the end of the day, it was,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: you know, how do you make, how do you make
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 4: practice as hard as possible? Um, and make it so
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: game-like that by the time you get to the game,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: Like that's supposed to be the fun part. But it's
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 4: also where the muscle memory is just so ingrained. That's 100% right.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: So hardwired that, man, you're just not, you don't think
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 4: you operate. Like I used to, it was a mental
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: cue for myself a lot was, you know, operate, just operate.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: You know, and you find this rhythm and you create
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: this rhythm during the course of the game. Like the
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 4: way I describe the quarterback position is you're creating a
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 4: rhythm and the defense's job is to throw you off
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: of the rhythm, right? They do it with disguise. They
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 4: do it with, you know, compressing the pocket. You know,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: they have all their ways to try to throw you
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: off rhythm. And your job is to get the offense
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: back on rhythm. And that was, that was everything from
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 4: like the way you call the play in the huddle
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: to the mechanics and the communication at the line of scrimmage,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 4: to the rhythm of the cadence, to just everything about
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: the progression and the ball coming out. And like, you
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: just want the whole thing like moving. Like I never
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: wanted things to stop. Um, So you were just, it
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: was like once it started, once you were caught up
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: in it, you just went. And like, honestly, practice, I
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: used to, like, I loved training camp. Now, obviously, I
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 4: wasn't going through the same physical abuse that you guys were,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: you know, but I loved I love training camp. I
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: love practice because like to me, that was meant we
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: we were trying to create the toughest moments and the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 4: greatest challenges that we could and like talk through all
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: the situations that might sound kind of crazy at the time.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: But then all of a sudden it happens in the game.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: And it's not this feeling of, oh, man, we haven't
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: covered this. It's this feeling of confidence, like, oh.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 8: I remember this.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: And then you go out and you execute it and
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 4: you make it happen. And then you're sitting there the
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: next day watching on film saying that was the difference.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 8: Like that was the difference.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: You always wanted to feel like you had those moments
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: locked up where it's like when we get to that time,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: we're going to be the team that makes the play.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 5: That's awesome.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where I think, too, it's like the
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: difference lives in.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: Again, when practice is stopping, a lot of times you
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 5: go through a lot of the situational football on the
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 5: back end of the week to where, again, you're out there,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 5: whether you're going through motions, focus, all of that stuff,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 5: to where we're hitting all these small things and small
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: situations that could pop up in the game to where
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 5: it feels like routine. But breaking it up in the
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 5: middle of practice to go over it almost gives you
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 5: so much more urgency within the detail to where you
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 5: do remember it when it finally pops up during the game.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 14: Well, I think you correct at the moment, you know,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 14: it's not right.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 14: So if, if, you know, somebody runs a route wrong
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 14: or we cover something incorrectly, or Hey, maybe I'm not
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 14: on the same page with you on the defense on
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 14: a certain coverage. It needs to be talked about immediately.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 14: And Hey, let's do it like this. How do you
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 14: see it? This is how I see it.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 5: What do you like?
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 14: What are you comfortable with? And then that way it
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 14: doesn't fester. It doesn't, it just nipped in the bud
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 14: done right now. And then when that situation comes up
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 14: in a game, You don't have to think about it.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 14: I think that's the best part about practice and training camp. And,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 14: you know, Drew talked about training camp. I always felt
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 14: like training camp was a really good opportunity to try
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 14: new things. Hey, in cover two, maybe I'm going to
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 14: try it like this because there's no consequences. Like, hey,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 14: I'm going to go up to our linebacking coach and
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 14: be like, hey, so in cover two today, can you
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 14: give me a couple cover twos and team period or
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 14: seven on seven? I want to get a couple new drops. And, like,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 14: I'm just going to tell you right now this is
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 14: how I'm going to do it. And if the ball
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 14: gets thrown overhead, like my fault. And then you get
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 14: in there and you try it. And hey, I really
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 14: like that. Or this is really bad. This is why.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 5: So don't do it.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 14: And I thought that was the best part about training camp.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 14: And you could work. You could work with guys like
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 14: work with Greg. Hey, can can you ask Shula? Can
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 14: we get some, you know, one on one matchups and quarters?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 14: I want to try playing quarters a little bit different
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 14: at a three by one looks like when you when
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 14: you develop relationships with guys in the team and. Guys
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 14: that have been on the team for a long time, hey,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 14: I'm trying to get something out of this period.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 5: Can you give me a little something?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 14: I thought that was the best part of training camp
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 14: because Drew said you operate. Once you get into a
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 14: game in the middle of a game and you're in
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 14: the flow, you're not thinking about what's going on. You're
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 14: going out there and, hey, this is my job. This
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 14: is what I'm going to do. And I've logged tons
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 14: of hours of preparation and practice to prepare myself for
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 14: this situation.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 6: How long did it take both of you to kind
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: of get in the comfort zone of being able to
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: stop practice, bring everybody up? Go up to your linebacker
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: coach and be like, hey, I know cover two is
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: supposed to look like this, but today I'm going to
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: try these drops. Because there's so many young guys that
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: come in, playbooks flying around. They don't know really what
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: to do. They don't know exactly what their technique should be.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: And eventually they get it, but it's always like a
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 6: lot of coaches being like, you have to do it
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 6: exactly this way over and over. This is how cover
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: two is supposed to look. And so what year, what
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: point for both of you where you're like, you know what,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: I can actually, I'm going to try to risk a
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: couple of things in practice because I'm not necessarily concerned
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: about the result of how good this practice looks. I'm
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 6: more worried about week one.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 8: Two, three, four.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: So I was, you know, my first five years were
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 4: San Diego and then I got to New Orleans in 06.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: So that was the start of my sixth season. And,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: you know, it was an interesting time because obviously Sean Payton,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 4: new head coach and, you know, bringing in this West
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: Coast offense, I've never had any exposure to that coming
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: off this injury, you know, so. man, you're just trying
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: to kind of piece together what our team's going to
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 4: look like and what my health is going to look
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: like and all these things. But right away, it became
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 4: evident that Sean was going to build this offense around
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 4: the things that I did really well, and then he
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: was going to really.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 8: Empower me in a lot of ways.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 4: Prior to getting to New Orleans, I never made mic
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: IDs or called out protections. In San Diego, it was always, hey,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 4: just know when you're hot, and we had sights, and
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 4: we'd just get the ball out, right? But now you
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 4: really have a lot of control over being able to
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: fix problems. You know, a lot of run checks, calling
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 4: my own two minute. So two minute was all, you know,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 4: on the quarterback if you wanted it.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 8: Right. Which which I loved.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: And so I'd say Sean really empowered me a ton
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: when I first got there. And that just grew and
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 4: grew as as we went along. And also, I think
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 4: the evolution of our offense, we always felt like we
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: were on the cutting edge of things, you know, Sean
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: obviously is brilliant and had so many unique influences with
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: Gruden and Bill Walsh and some other guys within the
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: West Coast scheme. But then he was adding his own
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: little flair to it. So I always felt like we
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 4: were on the cutting edge, always kind of ahead of
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 4: the curve. And man, everybody was watching our film at
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: the end of the year. So we constantly had to evolve, right?
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: And so I think because of that, again, that empowerment
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: and everything I felt like, man, it's our, you know,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: it's my job.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 8: Right, to be very.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: Vocal about this, you know, man, during the off season,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: during training camp, during the year. I mean, even to
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 4: the point where, like, you know, man, to get the
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: scout team to do what you want, you know, during practice,
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 4: during the year, can be a challenge at times. But man, like,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: I had no problem going over there and literally like, hey,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: this is how the safeties play. this coverage corners. This
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: is the technique that they're going to use. This is
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: what this pressure looks like, right? So when it comes
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: down to it, like this is what we need to see.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: And this is the timing of it. And this is
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 4: how fast it needs to be. Cause again, you know, you're,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: you're trying to prepare yourself to go and light it up.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: How about for you, Luke, when did it go from
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: a coach? You think we could see that again on
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 5: the script to where, Hey, I need to see this
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 5: again on the script.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 14: Sean, Sean was our Sean, Sean McDermott was all like
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 14: Sean Payton in the sense of, gave ownership to the
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 14: guys and he was really big on, you know, he'd
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 14: come by on like a Thursday or a Friday, really,
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 14: really on Fridays and say, Hey, what do you guys like?
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 14: And what don't you like? So we'd have the full
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 14: game plan in, but Hey, McD, we like this, this,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 14: and this, and we don't like this, this, and this.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 14: And then, you know, you'd show up on Saturday, see
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 14: the new game plan and he would take some of
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 14: the stuff out that you said you didn't like. And
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 14: then he'd keep some of the stuff in that you,
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 14: that you also said you didn't like, but he'd come
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 14: up to you and be like, Hey, So the reason
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 14: why I want to keep this in is for this situation,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 14: this area on the field, I'm going to call it.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 14: And then we get into a game and that situation
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 14: would pop up and, you know, in my ear would
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 14: come that play call. So that was early on in
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 14: my second year. And I think what that kind of
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 14: did to me was like, well, he's, he's listening to
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 14: what we say.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: He trusts us.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 14: But he also isn't afraid to be like, Hey, no, no, no.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 14: Like I want this for this reason. So I think
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 14: once that kind of happened, he gave us more, leeway
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 14: to voice our opinions and talk about what we liked
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 14: and didn't like and I think the best thing about
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 14: our defense was you know Thomas was right next to
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 14: me and him and I had just great communication all
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 14: the time so we didn't necessarily have to stop practice
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 14: in the middle of practice but if something popped on
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 14: us in practice our coaches would kind of look and
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 14: TD and I would figure it out and he'd give
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 14: us a thumbs up and we give them a thumbs
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 14: up so I think it kind of was one of
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 14: those things where Here's the framework of the defense.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 5: This is where we need you guys to be. This
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 5: is your job.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 14: But we're going to give you different tools and abilities
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 14: to play within a box to do what you feel
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 14: like is best for you, but also what's best for
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 14: the team. And I think that was one thing is
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 14: there's a lot of trust that's involved. I think there's
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 14: a lot of relationships, relationship building that is involved in in.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 14: you have to go out in the field and do it.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 14: I think that's really, you had already done it. I
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 14: hadn't done it at that point in my career where
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 14: McD trusted me. But I think, I think sometimes the
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 14: interesting thing about trust is sometimes you have to give
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 14: trust into somebody before they trust you back. And I
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 14: thought that's what McDermott did a really good job of
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 14: was I'm going to give you guys ownership. I trust
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 14: you guys go do your job. And then in turn,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 14: you'll trust me. And I think you did a great
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 14: job at that.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: Sure, we can hit the BLQ. We can hit the BLQ.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 6: Gentlemen, this is a very important question. I need you
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: to really lock in for this. All right, so anyone
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 6: would do anything for an ice cold Bud Light. We
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 6: all know that, right? We all know that.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 5: Ice cold.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 6: What is something that you two would do anything for? Now,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 6: if you need some examples, we've had, Joe Thomas has
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 6: had a great one.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 5: Bull semen. He would love. From this bull in the 70s,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: he'd love to get the semen so that way he
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: could create, you know, some of the Wagyu. Genetics? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 6: Wagyu, Japanese. He wants it semen. So Joe Thomas would
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: do anything for bull semen. Brock Bowers, he said he
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 6: wanted a steak. Devante Adams, he says, I want to
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: go to space. What's something you guys would do anything for?
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 5: Can't say family.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: Can't say family.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 14: Okay, what can't we say? Give us some stipulations.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 6: Can't say family. Can't say Hall of Fame because you
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: already got that.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: Can't say it's your bowl.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 6: That's over. You guys are done. We're all washed now.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: So pretty much, yeah, I think the world is whatever
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 6: you want. You can at least say something as small
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 6: as a new pair of shoes. New colored shirt. Get
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: that OG rookie haircut back.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 8: Is it a hunting trip?
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 5: So you know what?
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 14: There's actually a really cool hunting trip Adam's going on.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 14: I talked to you about that. Adam Vinatieri is a
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 14: huge hunter. He's been all over the place. He's really good.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 5: He's have you seen him today?
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 6: No, we're going to see him in like five.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 14: He is jacked right now.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And compare him to yourself. He beat me up.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 5: He is.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 8: He's looking pretty stout.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah. He's pretty stout right now.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: AV's looking like that guy right now.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 14: He's going on a sheep hunting trip, bighorn sheep hunting
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 14: trip in Colorado. And that is up in the mountains.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 5: It's, it's nasty.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: It's hard.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 14: It's difficult. It's very challenging. It's a very mentally challenging
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 14: hunt because you don't see a ton of animals. Usually
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 14: the weather can be very tough and difficult. It's cold,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 14: it's rainy. You're hiking up the side of mountains and
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 14: hills and you're sleeping in tents and you're not eating
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 14: a ton because you got to pack everything in. So
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 14: I'm very excited to live through Adam when he goes
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 14: on this hunt in about, it's in about a month.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 14: So You guys should ask him about it.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 8: So he's carb loading right now.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: I was carb loading. Yeah.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 6: So you do anything to watch Ivan Ventatario going to hunt?
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 5: I would like to go on a hunt.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 14: I'm jealous because I've been talking to him about it
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 14: for a while. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: He's a big hunter.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 14: And I'm like, Adam, I need you to tell me
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 14: the tale of this hunting trip. So that would be
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 14: a really cool hunting trip to go on.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so you've been going, all right, dude, Steve Rinella.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 6: We've got to connect with Steve.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, is that Rinella?
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know if that's Rinella that's taking him
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: on the trip.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 5: That's who you're talking about.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: Meat eater, Steve Rinella.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 5: I saw that.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: We consider him a close friend.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, does he consider you guys a close friend?
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 6: I think so if you ask him.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: If you brought up our names and you mentioned us
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 6: with the boys right after that, someone would go and
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 6: be like, those are the guys. And he'd be like, oh, yeah,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: I love those guys.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: You'd have to show them a picture. What do you say?
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 5: What do you say?
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 8: Like, oh, yeah, yeah, like.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 14: I remember them or just like, yeah, he'd say, yeah,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 14: like I don't remember them, but I'm going to say
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 14: it anyway.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: He's going to tell you the truth.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: He called in a coyote for me and I missed it.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 6: But he won't also say that he could have also
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 6: taken it down. He didn't take the shot. Man in
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 6: the arena used, you chose to stay in it. Steve
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 6: kind of got scared.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: Drew.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would have been, I would have given

  Speaker 4: anything to be at the, uh, Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift wedding.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, all of us.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 6: I didn't get invited.

  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not about us though, guys. Like, you know,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: people make mistakes, right? Salt and pepper. I'm sure you've
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: had a couple yourself. Like, there's always been things that
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 6: kind of get past us. Trav just forgot. The four
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 6: of us.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Did either of you guys go? No, no. I
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: didn't get invited. Okay, I didn't know if.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: You were like, I didn't know if they did.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 8: Got lost in the mail.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 5: I know, I know.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: Dean Blandino?
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 8: Dude, I was just about to say.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 6: That's wild. Dean Blandino got invited. He was a referee
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 6: at our Beer Olympics. That's crazy. So go to Travis
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: Kelsey's wedding.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 8: Speaking of high school, Bud Light.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right? Very nice.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 8: Dean Blandino.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 5: I have a question.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: Both of you guys now in the media game.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 5: Luke, you're rocking with Netflix this year, calling a couple
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 5: games that just got announced. You are a savant on Fox. Drew,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: do you have any advice for... for young Luke here
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: stepping in the booth.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 8: Well, you've been doing Carolina games for how long now?
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 5: Radio, though. With Jake.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, doing that radio.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 5: We'll just not radio.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 6: He's doing like 104.5.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 8: I've seen the social media breakdowns, though.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 5: 25 billion streams a year by Netflix is a little
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 5: bit different.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, if it's anything like this podcast here
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: and all the intricate breakdowns of the game, Like this guy,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: this guy's one of the smartest minds when it comes
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: to the game of football. And I think his way
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: to articulate it as well, it comes across very authentic,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: very real, with a ton of enthusiasm.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 8: And so at the end of the day, that's what
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 8: it's all about. Just being able to be yourself.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 5: You need to watch tape on Drew as he articulates
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 5: and talks. He's always got the, he's got the movement,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 5: he's got the balance, he's got the focus.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: The problem is, is there's that tight window. You know,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: you got your, what, 14 or 15 seconds, if that,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: you know, if there's some hurry up moment. and you're
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 4: trying to get to something, all of a sudden it's like, oh,
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 4: they always tell you, make sure you get out before
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 4: the ball gets snapped. But a lot of times if
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 4: I want to geek out on something, I actually preface
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: it by saying, okay, I'm going to geek out on
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 4: this for a second. Because in most cases, like I'd say,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 4: you know, 70, 80% of the fans are, you know, like...
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: If you start going too deep, the minute you say
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: three technique, they're like, ah, you lost me, right?
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: You start to lose them a little bit.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 6: It's like men in black. Their brain just got gone.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 8: For a second.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 4: So it's that ability to keep it very mainstream, but
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 4: then also dive deeper into some of the intricacies when
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: the moment's right.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you should have a catchphrase.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, really?
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 6: You should figure out some sort of catchphrase. Yeah, like
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 6: a fun little, I don't know.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: Workshop something.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, workshop something. I'll rely on you for that, Will.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 6: We'll talk about it.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 5: I got you.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 6: All right, Will's got you. Let me know how it goes. Okay,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 6: I'll be in the group chat as well. We'll figure
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 6: it out. We'll figure it out. And we'll get to
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 6: a different wedding.
• 1:43:29

  Speaker 6: You were doing some friendly bows a second ago.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 5: What are you going.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: To say nice about the Fighting Irish now?
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: Come on, man.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 5: What about Pitt? Why not Pitt?
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: I literally, I let him just make his own decision.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they recruited him, and he kind of felt
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame was his place. You know, he really liked
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: the guys. He was there. And the other thing I
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: think really gravitated towards is, you know, Brian Urlacher sent
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: his son there, you know, before he transferred. Brian Young.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: son is there, Jerome Bettis' son is there, Plastico Burris'
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: son is there, Thomas, you know, so there was a
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: lot of kids there that were his age that kind
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: of went through the same experiences that he went through,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: you know, sort of like the brotherhood that he was
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: able to create, you know, on the visit. And then
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: he knew a bunch of the guys from the camp circuits,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: you know, these seven-on-seven, you know, so I think that's
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: kind of where it developed.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: How was it for.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know how it is for his experience, but
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 6: what are you telling to your son when he's coming up?
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 6: He's in high school. He's got your last name on
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 6: the back of his jersey. Clearly, the comparisons are going
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 6: to come. You're in the Hall of Fame. What were
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 6: some nuggets of wisdom you might have gave him to
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 6: be like, don't worry about a shot that's being cast.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 6: Make your own legacy type of thing.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, my son is really kind of, he's
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: his own man. He really is. He's my son, but
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: he moves different, thinks different, and I encourage that. And also,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: I never coached him either. You know, me and my
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: dad sometimes had some contentious times, you know, coaching me.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: And I saw other guys, you know, kind of have
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: those fallouts with their boys. And so there's people that
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: I really trust, like Chris Carter. My son trains with
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Chris Carter or he trained with Terrell Owens and guys
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: that I respect and admire. But I don't have to
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: have to get on them. You should listen to what
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: they're saying. They know what they're talking about. And so
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: I can just be dad, you know, give him advice
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: on good decision making off the field, you know, which
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: I think is important. more important now because everything is
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: being televised. Everything is being photographed. Everything is being, you know, documented,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: you know? So I think those are, those are things
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: that I stress more about.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: Adam, how old are yours?
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: Uh, 23.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 13: My oldest son's 23. My daughter's 21. And then I
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 13: have a 16 year old son as well.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 5: So do we have any, uh, athletes? Yeah.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 13: My oldest son just finished, just graduated from college. He,
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 13: he was a punter and kicker as well. Um, Uh, my,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 13: my daughter, uh, was an equestrian girl. She hunter jumper
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 13: did all the riding and all that stuff. And then
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 13: my youngest son, tell me about it.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: Hand them your wallet.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: They kick you in the nuts and then you go
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: on your own way.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 6: They tell you like you, there's so much money to
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 6: be made in horses and all that. And then you
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 6: buy a couple of nights. There's no money at all
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 6: in this.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 13: I did not know when my daughter said, I want
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 13: to start riding and we get her some lessons. And
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 13: the next thing I knew that's fine. But then when
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 13: they start, they say, Hey, we're going to start competing.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 13: And the next thing you know, you're spending. six figures
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 13: for horses. You're like, what are you talking about?
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 6: It's nuts, right?
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: But I tell you best decision.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 13: It's one of the greatest things that, that my daughter
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 13: and I had because we spent so much time together
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 13: and the pride of, of, of taking her and just
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 13: letting her be the boss kind of thing for the
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 13: weekend and, and having seen her ribbon display and that
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 13: kind of stuff, you know, it taught her, taught her
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 13: a ton of respect for, for horses, for other things. She,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 13: she grew up really quick and, best thing to keep
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 13: her away from boys, just buy her a horse. And
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 13: if she gets enough time that she can start messing around,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 13: buy her another horse.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: Then it's done. Game's over.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 6: And then you sandwich between two boys, you're solid.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 13: And then my youngest son, he started kicking as well,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 13: but he's a safety. he's he doesn't look like me
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 13: he's six two he's a big kid too and i
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 13: he's like you.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 5: Got some you guys you got some physique going just
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 5: trying trying a little bit trying to hang on for
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 5: dear life.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what that shirt's fitting just right it's
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 6: a small way i can see the camera it looks phenomenal.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 5: Being the competitors that you guys were, what would take
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 5: us through? Like we're, we're young fathers, but take us
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 5: through the itch to either be a sports dad or
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 5: try to reserve and not be the one yelling at games.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: You have any, any tips, any advice? I'll go first.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 13: So, so the passion is obviously there, right? Like, my
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 13: sons are probably the only kids in high school that
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 13: have to watch film with their dad, right?
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: We break down film, we talk goods and bads.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 13: And, you know, I'm always saying, you know, listen, you
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 13: might not win every play, but you can.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: Hustle every play.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 13: Just the little lessons that I learned from some of
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 13: the great coaches that taught me along the way was
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 13: one of those things that like, you're going to get
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 13: coached by me differently than you're going to get coached
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 13: by a normal high school coach, because I've been around
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 13: the great. So, you know, the, the, the comment of, Hey,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 13: first day I met Marvin Harrison, when we became teammates,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 13: he'd catch a five yard out and he had run
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 13: to the end zone and run back. Even if we're
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 13: on our own 20 yard line kind of thing. I said,
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 13: those are the type of things that if you practice
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 13: hard every day, then the game gets easy. Belichick used
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 13: to always say, you know, condition. He said, it's like
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 13: a bank, right? We have, you have to bank it.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 13: You have to put it into the bank. So when
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 13: it's time to draw it out, there's something there, right?
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 13: So just all the little things that I feel like
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 13: our kids get that some other Kids probably don't because
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 13: no disrespect to their families or whatever. They just weren't
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 13: around so many great athletes. So just the little lessons
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 13: I learned over my career kind of helped me.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 5: But am I a rah-rah?
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: Am I a screaming and yelling dad?
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 13: I helped coach at the high school, and I think
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 13: the kids go, hey, Vinatieri's fiery. He likes it, but
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 13: it's controlled, right? Would they say it's controlled?
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you know, for the most part.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 5: Because I heard my players would say I'm fiery and
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 5: then you're saying, you know, but it's more controlled. I'm like,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: is it controlled? It's my control. It's the most control I.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: Can have, I guess, right? How about for you, Larry?
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: I think it really changes as your kids start getting older.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: Like you just want healthy kids that are happy and
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: building relationships. And, you know, that's the things that are
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: most important. And I remember my son, Devin, my oldest
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: came to me at about 13. He said that I
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: really want to be good at football. I was like, okay,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: all right. No, but I'm just saying like, I didn't
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: want to push what I did on them. I wanted
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: it to be his thing. And if, and you know,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: like my middle son, Apollo, he's, he's a tech kid.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: He loves tech. He just got back from camp over
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: in Oxford. You know, he wanted us to go and
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: kind of see how his coding and development skills are
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: with kids from China and India and, pakistan and new
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: zealand and i was like that's that's amazing good and
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: i want to put him in the same competitive environment
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: that i will put my son in so whatever they're
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: interested in and whatever their love and their passions are
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: you just want them to be great adam's daughter loves
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: you know she loves jumping horses and competing in that
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: and like is that kicking is that being a hall
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: of famer one day and like no but this is
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: what she's passionate about and that's all you want as
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: a parent just want your kids to be happy and
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: doing something they can take pride in yeah yeah.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 6: How was it uh for you guys to finally learn
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 6: that you were being inducted in the class of 2026
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 6: Hall of Fame. Like to sit there, I like, if
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 6: you could just give me, paint me a picture of,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 6: what took place, how you found out, and then the
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 6: feelings of everything. Because it's, I mean, it's the greatest
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 6: individual honor you can receive.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: I love watching his when he's trying to fight his
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: tears back. He was trying to stay tough in there.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: He was trying and he couldn't shake it.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to lie.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 13: I think I've teared up and cried more these last
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 13: six months than I have in the last 35 years
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 13: to be honest with you because because it's so emotional
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 13: right like like you start thinking about what it meant
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 13: and how much time you put into it like you
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 13: know i played football for 38 years of my life
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 13: you know i don't know life without football right i
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 13: mean it's brought so many blessings to me my family
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 13: you know all the just the relationships along the way
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 13: all that stuff and so when you start thinking about
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 13: that um you start putting it onto onto paper and
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 13: then you start you know like I try to desensitize
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 13: it when I'm thinking about it because when I think
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 13: about it and what it really means, it's like you
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 13: get emotional. You're like, oh my gosh, like the relationships
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 13: that you develop along the way and what it just,
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 13: it's just really incredible. So yeah, when I got that
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 13: knock on the door, I wasn't a first ballot like
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 13: this guy.
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: I had to wait an extra year. I waited an
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: extra year.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 6: Two whole years you had to wait?
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: He waited a whole year. Like that's crazy, man.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: Sometimes life's just not fair.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not fair.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 2: Especially with the greatest that you know is going to
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 5: But he's going to get it.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 13: The reason I say that is because I got that
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 13: phone call right I'm sitting there going okay hopefully they're
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 13: gonna knock on my door and I get the phone
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 13: call it said hey you were one of the finalists
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 13: but you didn't make the cut right and so at
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 13: that point you start thinking like man am I gonna
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 13: make it it's like it's not a guarantee you know
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 13: you you think you've done enough but maybe you didn't
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 13: right and so nothing in football is guaranteed I that's
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 13: probably why I worked so hard for so many years
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 13: because every year, okay, that chapter is over. And now
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 13: that this next year is a new chapter, and what
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 13: can I do to make myself better, to help my team,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 13: to help our team get better, to try to win
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 13: a championship, right?
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want a couple of those. Just if he's
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: going to throw.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 15: trash you know like yeah you got a few maybe
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 15: someone's better maybe they win more championships no i'm just
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 15: kidding i'm just kidding but but um you know it's
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 15: just one of those things that uh you know like
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 15: when you finally get that knock on the door yeah
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 15: i'm not gonna lie i i didn't know it was
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 15: coming so it was a shock but and in morton
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 15: just about knocked down my damn door i'm like what
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 15: is this right.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 13: And i open it up and then it's just emotional
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 13: like like oh my gosh you know like like what
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 13: we've been You don't, I don't know about you, but
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 13: I never allowed myself to even think about that, you know,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 13: while I was playing, right? You just, you got blinders
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 13: on you. You just look forward all the time. You
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 13: didn't really reminisce and think even, even fortunately I played
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 13: on some Superbowl teams, but I never really gave myself
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 13: a lot of opportunity to even think about that.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: It was always, what can we do moving forward? What
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: can we do next year kind of thing.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 13: And so then all of a sudden, when you get
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 13: to that moment that you get the knock on the door,
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 13: it all comes like, it all comes to fruition. Like,
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 13: then it's just it's just so emotional because you're just
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 13: like my gosh you know and then like i said
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 13: then the last seven months you're trying to put that
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 13: thank the right people and who meant so much to
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 13: you and you know family growing up and all that
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 13: stuff and it's for me it was yeah it was
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 13: it was crazy you know i didn't i didn't know
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 13: it was going to be i knew it was going
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 13: to be like that but i didn't know it was going.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 6: To be like that yeah you know yeah that is.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 5: Uh And he just knew.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, it was like, yeah, come on, knock
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: on my door. You guys all know what's coming.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 6: Come on, bring it, bring it, bring it. You just
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 6: knew what it was.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: No, you never know. And honestly, I kind of, I
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily like the moniker, you know, for like, it
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Like if you're, if your bus is in
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: the hall of fame, you are a hall of famer.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it was 29 years, like Mr.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: Craig waited or, or you don't wait any, like it,
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: we're all in the same fraternity. We're all together. Like,
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't necessarily like the categorization of it.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: And mine was amazing because my story with Randy, it
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: goes back until I was 14 years old when I
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: read Randy on the field as a ball boy. And
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: I think when I walked into the door and I
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: saw him, it was a lot of emotions that ran
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: through my mind. Randy had just beat cancer, very public battle.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: And to see that he was healthy and he got
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: on a plane from Charlotte to come down to Florida
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: to do this, you know, and took his precious earned
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: time to do that and, and make the moment that
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: much more special for me. And, you know, all the
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: things he did for me as a kid, examples, he said,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: you know, the positivity coming to my high school football
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: games and to have it come full circle. It was,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: it was a surreal moment. One that I'll, I'll never forget.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 6: What was the first phone call you made both for
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 6: both of you?
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: First phone call. Um, Actually, I kind of sat with
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: it for a little bit. Actually, the first phone call
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: was to Michael Bidwell, the owner of our team, Cardinals,
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: to let him know and to thank him. And then
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: I kind of, it was surreal. I got in the car,
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: I went back to the hotel, and I just kind
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: of like, I literally just sat on my bed. I
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: was down there. I was there for board meetings, and
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: it was just so overwhelming. random i did not expect
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: it you know you know something like that you know
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: i was so caught on guard and i was just
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: like i was just stuck for for a night it's gotta.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 6: Feel so weird like having an amazing moment like that
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 6: where you're like i should call everybody but you want
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 6: to tell a bunch of people but also it's like
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 6: i should take a moment for myself this is not
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 6: worth firing in a group chat for yeah.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: And then also they hadn't told adam they hadn't told
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: drew they hadn't told right so I was thinking like,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: I need to be, I need to protect the integrity
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: of their experiences. You know, you know, I asked who
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: else got in. So I was really happy for these guys.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 8: They told you.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I asked, I was like, who else, who else,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: you know? And, you know, so I found out about
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: them and. Man, I wish you would have called me.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 5: No, I would never. Hey, by the way, you're getting
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 5: a knock tomorrow.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing is you realize that you
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: have a team of family members you can't trust either.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: You know, his wife sat with that for at least
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: a month.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: No, she sat for a full week.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: Drew Brees told me the same thing. He slept next
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: to his wife. The thing that means the most to him,
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: she wouldn't tell him. So he can't even trust his wife.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I can't trust my assistants.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 5: And you know, like, it's crazy. The whole group is compromised.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 5: I figured out she's pretty sneaky. Yeah.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: Like, yo, you knew for a week and you kept
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: this from me?
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 6: You're like, well, a whole week to set you up?
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 5: Chase the bishop, right?
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 6: How long have you been married for?
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 5: 25 years, 45 years.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 6: They're just laying in bed at night.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 2: And he's like, it is pretty crazy that.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 5: You just kept up.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 13: She saw me look at her and she's like, I know,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 13: but they told me I couldn't tell you.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 6: I'm like, really? Yeah.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: I thought we were better than that.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 13: But, but it is funny because like you asked, like,
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 13: who was the first people we called? Like, like Larry
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 13: just said, like, I did not tell anybody other than my,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 13: my immediate family knew.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 13: And I told all my kids, I said, This is
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 13: a secret. We're not supposed to say a word until
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 13: the honors on Thursday before the Super Bowl. And my
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 13: wife and I remember Jim Porter, the president of the
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 13: hall said, tell your parents.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: But I said, I can't tell my.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: Parents because they want to keep it quiet.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 13: So I literally didn't tell anybody. And then my dad
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 13: calls me. He's like, you didn't even tell me.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: And I'm like.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: Because I know you. I can't tell you.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 13: My brothers and sisters would be on social media and
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 13: they probably wouldn't have said it, but they would have
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 13: hinted around like, come on now. You're tweeting out a
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 13: picture of the Hall of Fame. Like, come on, dude.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 13: So I just kept it to myself, but I was...
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 13: I was giddy for a few weeks until we got
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 13: to Super Bowl. And it was awesome. That Thursday night
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 13: when we walked out there and some of the Hall
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 13: of Famers went back.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: Who was it? Who went back there and met us
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: in the green room? Michael Strahan.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Strahan walked back there. And he's like, man, I
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 13: had to poke my head in because I didn't know who.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 5: Was in here.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: And so it's literally that secretive. And yeah, but.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 13: But man, that was a ton of fun. But you're
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 13: absolutely right, though. I was like, I looked at my wife.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 13: I was like, man, I can't believe. And it's sneaky, right?
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 13: She decorated the basement and all that stuff. We had
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 13: our anniversary the week before and we were supposed to
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 13: go out to dinner on that Friday night. And she
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 13: pulled up. I don't feel very good. Let's just do
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 13: lunch next week. Let's do it on Wednesday. So that's
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 13: how she got me to not be in. sweats or
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 13: a t-shirt or whatever. So I'm dressed a little nicer
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 13: because we're going to go out to a nice lunch, right?
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 13: And then all of a sudden we get the knock
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 13: on the door and I'm like, ah, you.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 5: Lie way too good.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 2: Like, what the heck is this all about?
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 6: So it's been set up and everything. That is what,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 6: how is it the process of this week been? like
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 6: setting up, you have a big speech to give. How
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 6: many tickets do they give you to allow you to come?
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 6: I would assume, right? It's not their fault. Shout out
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 6: to Hall of Fame. You guys do the best job.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 6: Great operation here. I'm sure you get plenty of tickets,
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 6: but you can't just bring everybody.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 5: Well, you did. It's like a wedding. Exactly.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 13: I couldn't have said it any better. They said from
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 13: the get-go, it's really like planning a wedding. You're literally
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 13: trying to figure out your seating charts at the gold
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 13: jacket dinner and who can sit next to each other
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 13: and how will this flow and that kind of stuff.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 13: And then, you know, I had two different teams I
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 13: played for. So now you're trying to go, okay, put
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 13: the athletes, but you know, the Patriot guy's going to
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 13: want to sit together and the Colt guys are going
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 13: to want to sit together. And how do you have
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 13: some of the other friends that you have that are
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 13: going to fanboy a little bit, like no taking picture,
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 13: you know, that kind of stuff. So, so it is,
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 13: I thank God, I just kind of sent that to
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 13: my wife. So she's the champion, all this stuff. I
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 13: just have to focus in on trying to, trying to
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 13: give a good speech. And she's been running around with
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 13: her head cut off. She's, she's done a great job.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 13: How difficult has that process of making a speech been?
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 13: I've changed it about a dozen times, I think. Like
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 13: I started off with a shell and then I'm like,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 13: I probably need to do... And unfortunately, you don't have
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 13: enough time to thank everybody, right? So you try to
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 13: clump in, hey, to my teeth. I got a couple
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 13: of jokes in there, a couple of funny things in there.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 13: So we'll see how it goes. Have you worked the
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 13: room at all?
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 6: Have you gotten like to a zany.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you. I'm not going to
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 2: say anything.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 13: All I need to tell you is I took a
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 13: couple of them out that could not.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 2: They were just... My wife said to me... this is
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 2: not a roast.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 13: This is a hall of fame speech where you're supposed
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 13: to thank people, not just kill them, right?
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: So I go, yeah, but they would kill. I'd break
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: the internet. She's like, you can't.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 13: So there's a couple, I might tell you off the
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 13: air later on, you see what you think. But yeah,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 13: there's a couple of good ones in there.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 5: How much have you shifted around your speech, Larry? A
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: There was some people that I needed to add, you know,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: and some things that I took out, but it's, I've
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: had some great help. I got my, my boy, Jerry
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: Madeline helping me out. And, um, and Katie from the
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: hall of fame has been, you know, making the experience
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: really good. And I got, got a great team of people,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of allowed me to take it in
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: and not have to deal with all, all the logistics,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot that goes into it behind the scenes.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: But I think yesterday when we got here kind of
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: hit me, you know, when we walked into, there was
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: a dinner last night that hosted all the holler famers
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: and families and I got to sit with Drew Pearson and,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: you know, James Lofton, Dan Fouse and Steve Largent. And,
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: you know, like these these legends that you are now,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: you know, standing side next to. And I think that
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: really kind of crystallized the fact that I'm really I'm
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: really a part of this fraternity. And I think every
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: day it becomes more and more real and looking forward
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: to the game tonight to be. on the sidelines, hanging
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: with some of the guys. And, you know, so it's
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: been a really cool experience.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 5: Did you guys have to make any snub phone calls?
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 5: Like knowing somebody didn't make the list. It's like, I'm
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 5: going to be hearing from them if I don't have
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 5: a conversation with them.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 6: Have to give a little phone call. Hey, just so
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 6: you know, it's not personal. It's just the way.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 5: The numbers work. There's 31 other teams out there that
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 5: are going to be looking for a guy like you.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 6: That could just be, you don't have to allow me.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 2: I'll just, I'll just shake my head.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. A couple of them.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 6: It sounds like there's maybe one or two you kind
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 6: of like to cut.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: I just hope I don't lose any friends after my speech.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 6: It's going to be fun.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 5: It's going to be good. Yeah, definitely.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: Definitely. But I mean, I think everybody understands. I mean,
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: Adam said best he's, he's played 38 years. I played
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: 30 years since, you know, I was seven years old
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: to be able to, take from seven years old to 38,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: that's not even to take into account all the relationships
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: that you have that don't have anything to do with football,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: that are really meaningful to you, and condense that to
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: 10 to 12 minutes, that is extremely difficult. Extremely difficult.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 6: You're in a very unique situation because your son, who
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 6: wants to be great, he's at Notre Dame. He's in
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 6: the middle of camp right now. Is he going to
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 6: have special treatment? Is he coming to this banquet? Or
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 6: are you going to say.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 5: Hey, we have folks in the process? You kidding me?
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame can win a national championship.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: No, I'm saying different from like a Michigan coach. When
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: I called Coach Freeman and I asked him, I said, Coach,
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: I want my son to introduce me for the hall.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: And I know you guys have a practice that day.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: And he said, there's no place I would rather him be.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: And so he's going to let him come out on
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: Saturday and do it. And I'll get him back for
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: practice on Sunday. And so. It's amazing to be able
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: to have him and be up there on that stage
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: and be able to sit next to Drew and Adam
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: and Chris Carter and all of these great players that
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: he's heard about and gotten to know and wants to emulate.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it puts a lot of wind in his sail
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: as he goes back to camp and gets ready for
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 5: Get a day or two off camp. Yeah.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 6: And you see that he snuck in a Michigan jacket.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: You don't want to miss any camp as a freshman.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: First of all, you're not getting any reps. So the
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: reps you are getting are precious. So you don't want
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 1: to miss any of them. Unless you're like.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 5: T when you just come in and start as a
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 5: true freshman.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 5: He's a bag man. Michigan put the bag. I saw
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 5: the money.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 8: I saw.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: I saw the car he was driving in high school.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 5: It was crazy, bro.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 6: It was a 1994 Ford Taurus.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 5: Is what it was. That was before signing day. No, no, no.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 5: And then you got the GMC.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 6: I know people had this idea of what Michigan is
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 6: right now based on what's happened in the last couple
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 6: of years. That's tough.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 5: That's all we can base it off of.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: No, no, no. You just said it's the winningest program.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: Of all time.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 5: The winningest of all time. You paid for that too.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 6: Listen, I told this story one time.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 6: I told this story one time. I walked into a
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 6: place at a restaurant, ate a meal, and they're like,
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 6: this one's on us. That's the only thing I ever
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 6: got at the University of Michigan. Pitt, I've heard a
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 6: lot of things about Pitt. I've heard a lot of things.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you this.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 5: They ain't doing enough. We got 10 Hall of Favors.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame is the school they claim to be. They
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 6: will fly your son private there and back. Like they'll
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 6: get him here, introduce you and get him back for practice.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: We have, they have integrity and honesty. They play by
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: the rules. There's a reason.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 5: There's NIL.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying there's a reason that they have
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: not been put on probation, you know, like other programs
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: and coaches have spent, you know, like there's things that
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: happen that, That Michigan dude, a normal day, they would
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: just would never stoop to that level, man.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 2: They would never stoop to that level.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 6: I'm actually, dude, you know what?
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: I'm really happy for you.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 6: Just growing up in Arizona, it's just great to be
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 6: in your presence, man. To be a part of it.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 6: I have nothing to say to that right now. Larry,
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 6: do you think, do you wish you would have ran
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 6: harder after James Harrison when he had the interception in
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 6: the Super Bowl?
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, I definitely do wish I would have.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 6: Do you think you guys would have won the game
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 6: if you ran a little bit harder in that game?
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: No, if Antrell Rowe would not have blocked my path.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: He came on the field, I hit him, and I
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: had to get restarted to go try to catch him. But,
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, James Harrison, that was no fun hitting him.

  Speaker 6: kickoff fellas It's a good time to be alive. Why
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 6: not get some camaraderie involved as well? Let's get back
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 6: to this episode. Yeah, that's all I had. That's literally
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 6: the only bullet I had in the holster right there.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 5: You had, what was it, 40, is it 41 career tackles?
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, you got to know the number. It was
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 5: too many. It was too many for a wide receiver.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 5: Was there ever any part of you that would almost
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 5: like knowing that you're stacking tackles, that you would get
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 5: excited when an interception happened?
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. Less catches, you know, lower my margin
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: for winning. Like he liked tackling people. Like he decapitated
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people in his day.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 2: Who's your favorite tackle?
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 13: Oh, I'm going to give my bragging moment because it's
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 13: maybe the most athletic play of my entire career. Go
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 13: back and look at 1996 Patriots versus the Dallas Cowboys
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 13: kicked off to Herschel Walker, breaks it down the sideline.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 13: And somehow I had 10 seconds of speed because I,
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 13: I literally didn't have an angle, and I hawked him
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 13: down and brought him to the.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 5: Marshall Walker, too.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 6: Hawked him down.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 5: That's a big one.
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 13: If you haven't seen it, I know. It looks like
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 13: it was snowing because it's so old.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 5: The film is.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: You can't find any good high-def film on that one.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 5: That's old, you know, analog, whatever.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 2: Take your word for it on that.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but it's still on the internet. I promise you,
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 13: you'll find it, and you'll be impressed because I get impressed.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 13: I'm like, how did I do that, right? Cool thing
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 13: after that is after the game was over, Bill Parcells,
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 13: my coach at the time, walked up and he said, Hey, listen,
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 13: that's one of the greatest plays I've ever seen.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: He said, your, your teammates are going to treat you
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: differently now because of it.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 13: I had no idea what that meant, but they did,
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 13: you know, it was because, you know, kickers are those
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 13: quirky guys that just step on the field, a couple
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 13: of plays a game. And, and, you know, we're not
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 13: true football players, whatever, but I think I earned a
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 13: lot of respect that day. And, and just because I
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 13: enjoyed working out, I enjoyed one of the, one of
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 13: the greatest compliments I probably ever got in my entire
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 13: career was, One of our running backs, Kevin Falk, said
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 13: to me, he was in my lifting group.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 2: We had a group of three or four guys. And
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: he said, man, I hated lifting with you. And I go,
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: what do you mean?
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 13: Why? And he said, because you brought it every single day.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 13: And he said, so I had to work out as
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 13: hard as I could because I didn't want.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 2: To get beat by you.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 13: So in a weird roundabout way, I'm like, that's a
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 13: huge badge of honor to me because I'm trying to
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 13: make myself better. But In return, if I can make
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 13: the other guys better too, because we're all pushing each,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 13: I think that's one of the things that made that
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 13: team so great too, is everybody was competing every single day.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 13: And that's what you try to teach these high school
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 13: kids and stuff like, hey man, practice hard so the
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 13: games are easy, right? And they go, man, Larry made
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 13: it look so easy out on the field.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 13: Because every single day he's working his tail off. So
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 13: when he gets to the game, it's no different. Like
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 13: if you've got to raise your game for game, or
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 13: if you have to rise your game for a game,
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 13: you're doing it wrong.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 2: Practice your butt off every day in practice. And then
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 2: the games are easy.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 2: So that was probably the best tackle I ever had.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 13: I had, I had quite a few. I had more
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 13: than I would like, just like Larry says, if I'm
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 13: making tackles, that's.
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 5: A bad thing. Right.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that, that was, that was my, by far
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 2: my best. Do you have a favorite tackle?
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 6: I love that question.
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, dude, he had over 40 as a receiver.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 6: The most impressive part is you had more tackles than
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 6: you did drops in your entire career, which that's got
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 6: to be insane.
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would be so frustrated with what was happening.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: The thing about it, defensive players are not great ball
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: carriers because they just don't practice doing it a lot.
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: And so they run kind of high and you can
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: get right up under their chin. And so I I
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: stole a bunch of guys. I stole a.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: Bunch of guys.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It doesn't hurt when you're 6'3. I stole a
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 5: bunch of guys and the highlight tape just drops him. Exactly.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 6: Who was your favorite body you took?
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 1: It was always fun catching the linebackers because they really
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: hadn't touched the ball. And so I remember catching James
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: Ferrier one time. His linebacker played for the New York Jets.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: I caught him one time out at Sun Devil Stadium
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: and I almost got the ball out too, but that
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: was probably one of my better tackles.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 6: Dude, it's so impressive seeing your career, what you're able
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 6: to accomplish and how many quarterbacks you had. And just
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 6: being a guy from Arizona, you kind of see, there's
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 6: a lot of things to do in Arizona. People can
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 6: go out and the weather's always great. And so the
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 6: fandom kind of ebbs and flows with how the team does.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 6: And when the team doesn't do as well, there's not
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 6: as many people in the stands. Was there ever a
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 6: level of frustration for you being there with continuity of
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 6: quarterback or just the success the team was having? Did
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 6: you ever want to maybe all go somewhere else, or
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 6: were you always a Cardinal?
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: No, no. I loved Arizona. I really did. And I
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: took it personal. If it wasn't a sellout, I need
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 1: to be better to get people to come to these games.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 1: And I took it upon myself to, in offseason, try
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: to recruit guys. Hey, I know you're free agent this year. Now,
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: what are your options? We got cap space. And like,
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be a part of those conversations. I
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: would come in when, you know, Rod Graves or Steve
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: Kime were bringing free agents in. I would show up
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: to the meetings and like, I wanted people to come
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: and be a part of, of what we were trying
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: to build. That wasn't, that was important to me.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 5: There was a story or a rumor out there that
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 5: maybe you were close to going to the chiefs. Andy
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 5: Reed wanted you on the chiefs. No.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: So I was, I had, got done in 2020 and
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: I was transitioning out of the game. He wanted me
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: to come play, you know, for that 21 season. But
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: I was rough, man. I had a sports hernia, I
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 1: had a torn pec and a pinched nerve. I was-
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: It was just done. Like, you know, like I could
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: have been, but I wouldn't have been what I was.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: And you know, I always, I always kind of get
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: sad when I see, you know, great players that are
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: just hanging on for a little bit too long because
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: you see a diminished version of what you always remember.
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 1: And, and I just, I didn't want to put that
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: on tape.
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 5: With all the success that both of you had, is
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 5: there a year you guys still think about as a
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 5: player or a team that you wish you had back?
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 1: It was, uh, 2015, going into 2016, Cam Newton was
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: the best player in the game by far. And Carolina
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: was a really good team. I wish, you know, we
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: could play that game over again against Carolina, you know,
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 1: just to do a few things differently. Because that was
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: my last, like, legitimate shot at it, you know. And so, yeah,
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: I would love to go back and get a redo
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: with them.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. How about for you, Adam?
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would definitely say my last season.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 13: So my 23rd season was the year that I was
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 13: fortunate enough to pass Morton in the all-time leading score.
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 13: And the last few years, I was getting close to
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 13: that record, and I was kind of like, man, if
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 13: I can get there, I'm going to try to.
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 8: Do it right.
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 13: And so when I finally got him, it was in Oakland,
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 13: middle of the season, and that was kind of The
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 13: last few years, that's really what I wanted to play for.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 13: Our team was okay at the time, but we weren't
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 13: the championship level that we had been in years before.
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 13: And so I hate to say I was playing for
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 13: a record because I wasn't. I still wanted to win games.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 13: I still wanted to get in championships.
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: And all that.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 13: But at that point, I knew my knee was in
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 13: bad shape. Like Larry, you never want to put bad
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 13: product on the field. And I knew that I was
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 13: holding on for dear life. And our trainer said, or
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 13: our athletic director said, You need surgery, but who's going to,
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 13: you know, if you go out and you get major
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 13: surgery on your knee at the age of 47, come on, right?
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 13: So he said, just hold on for as long as
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 13: you can. When you're done, you're done, right? So at
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 13: the end of that season, I got the record. I
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 13: was prepared to be done. My contract was up, and
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 13: we lost the game. And, you know, that day you're
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 13: cleaning out your locker and you're doing your Essex physicals
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 13: and all that. The GM came down and said, hey,
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 13: before you take off, come to my office, please. And
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 13: I said, yeah, all right, cool. So I walked into
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 13: his office and I sat down and he said, he
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 13: slid a contract across the table to me and he said, listen,
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 13: I'm not going to let you even think about retiring.
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 13: He said, we need you in the locker room. We
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 13: need you what you do on the field, but more importantly,
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 13: what you mean to the team in the locker room.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 13: the only person that comes in and tells me how
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 13: it truly is you know i was the old head
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 13: right everybody's like hell vinnie like we got issues like
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 13: go talk to the gm right like all right what
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 13: are you gonna do fire me you know so i
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 13: i was the guy i was the voice of the
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 13: team at the time if you will and he said
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 13: you know chris bowden was the the general manager and
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 13: he just said nobody basically the same age as me
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 13: right and he said nobody talks to me the way
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 13: you do and we need that Right. So he said,
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 13: I'm not even going to let you even think about retiring.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 13: Cause he goes, I know, I know it's your answer.
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 13: You're going to say, Hey, let me give me a
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 13: month and think about it. And he goes, I don't
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 13: want you to, he said, slid the contract and it
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 13: was even a bigger bump in salary. And I was like,
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 13: so I went home, talked to my wife a little
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 13: bit about it. And I just said, out of respect,
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 13: I was like, if they truly, if that's what they want,
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 13: I'm going to give it my all. And I knew
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 13: that I was in tough shape and that whole season,
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 13: like I, uh, my knee was killing me in the
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 13: preseason injecting, like you hear the stories, right?
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 2: Like we were, we were holding on with duct tape
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 2: and super.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 5: Glue, right?
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 2: Having to truly, truly. And I got about halfway through
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 2: the season. My stats were terrible.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 13: And, and the, and the, one of the doctors just said, Hey, Adam,
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 13: He said, if you were my son, there's no way
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 13: I'd let you play anymore. And he said, I just
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 13: can't keep doing what you're asking me to do.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 2: We don't need to get into that.
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 13: But it was, it was, so I went on IR
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 13: in December, had surgery the next day or two days later,
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 13: whatever it was.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 5: And that was the end.
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 13: And it stung me a little bit because like Larry said,
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 13: you never want to put a product on the field.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 13: That's less than what you normally. So that was the
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 13: one thing. And then COVID hit the next year, right?
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 13: It was, you know, I was 2019 COVID hits. And
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 13: so I was like, I'm not going out like this.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 13: I'm going to make a comeback.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to play.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 13: And with that, I couldn't get any treatment. And it just,
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 13: the harder I pushed, I was going the opposite direction.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 13: And so the writing was on the wall. But like
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 13: Larry said, like I always ask guys, hey, you know,
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 13: when do you know you're done? And they said, well,
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 13: if you're asking that, you're not done yet. You'll know
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 13: when you're done. And at that point, I knew I
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 13: was done. I was just like, man, I love this game.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 13: I've given everything I could to this game, but I
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 13: just don't have anything left. And I don't want to
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 13: go out there again and put another bad product on
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 13: the field because- I want people to remember me.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 2: When I was great. Not when I was, Oh man,
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 2: you know, that kind of stuff.
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 6: And it's also hard hanging up something that like you've
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 6: done your entire life, 30 plus years, you both said.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 6: So it's like, yeah, making that realization and having that
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 6: come to Jesus talk with yourself had to be very difficult.
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 13: But you know, and I don't, I never speak for Larry,
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 13: but for me, there wasn't a lot more that I
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 13: needed to felt like I needed to accomplish.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 13: Like, was on some great teams, you know, did some
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 13: good stuff. Like there wasn't something that I'm like, I
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 13: got to keep going for this, right? If our team
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 13: was right there and it was the missing link, like, hey,
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 13: if you play really well, maybe we can win a
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 13: Super Bowl, you know? But it wasn't even that. It
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 13: was just like you gave everything you had, you know?
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 13: There's not much left to give.
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: I would agree. I would say there's only one person
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: in our class that you could actually say, like the
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: game didn't cheat at them. Like, I didn't get cheated.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: Drew got 20 years in. Raj played forever. Like, Keke,
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no telling how many defensive player of
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 1: the years and all pros he would have gotten if
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't have gotten banged up, right, and had to
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 1: call it a career early. And, you know, so, like,
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's easier when you get older. And honestly,
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you can lay your head on a pillow
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 1: and say, like, I gave it everything I got and
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: I got more than I ever would have imagined out
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: of it. It's hard not to just be honest with
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: yourself and say, look, hey man, it's time. And then
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: you start waking up in December And you know, anybody
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 1: that's like a little bit older or been hurt where
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: you got to do the roll to get out of bed,
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 1: like you got to get.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 6: The, you got to.
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 1: Swing and take the legs out and get them like, nah, that's,
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: it's time, man.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 5: Like, you know, when you remember you're young, you need
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 5: to stretch and nothing, you just go practice. You got
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 5: to talk yourself into getting up and moving.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 2: That's yeah.
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 5: When the pre, when the prehab is longer than the rehab,
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: You got to get to practice two hours early to
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: get the hot tub and this and that.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 6: How about that first August, though, after you guys were done?
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 5: Weird.
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 6: Waking up and it's, yeah, it's got to feel weird,
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 6: but it's.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 2: Also- Tasting the weekend for the first time.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 6: 115 degrees outside and you're like, what am I going
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 6: to do today?
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 6: I can do whatever I want right now. Was that
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 6: kind of like an awesome feeling as well?
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 1: I think the thing that is the biggest adjustment is
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: like your peers are still playing and like their lives
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: are playing ball and like your life is a little
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 1: bit different. And so I think that- that rhythm is
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: thrown off a little bit until you find your new cadence.
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: But I think that's the only thing.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 13: I would wake up middle of the night thinking, okay,
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 13: what I gotta do, you know, or you'd wake up
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 13: in the morning, you'd get, you'd get ready for practice.
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 2: You're like, hold on a second.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 13: Like you had to reprogram your mind into thinking, this
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 13: isn't your schedule anymore. It took me a while before
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 13: I got used to like, Hey, you know, you just
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 13: sit here and turn on the TV, watch some news,
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 13: drink some coffee.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 5: You don't have to go, go, go.
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 13: Life isn't about a million miles an hour anymore. It really,
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 13: it took, I called a couple of my buddies and
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 13: stuff because the, the craziest dream I would always have.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 13: And it took me months before it was, it was
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 13: every night. And then it was about half the time.
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 13: Then it finally went away, but I would always have
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 13: a dream like, like, the game is starting and I'm
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 13: not on the field and I can't find my helmet
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 13: or somebody took, and like, oh, there's a field goal
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 13: coming up right now and you're not on the field.
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 13: Like there was this panic that I would wake up
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 13: and I'd be like, oh, geez, it's not real, right?
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 13: And it took me the longest time to finally get
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 13: my mind to go, hey, everything's okay now, right? Like,
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 13: and I'd call my boys up and be like, how long?
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 13: And they would laugh and they'd say, man, It'll go away.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 13: It'll take you a minute, but, but just the schedule change.
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 13: My wife for her time, she's like, listen. It's cool
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 13: that you're home, but you got to find, you got
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 13: to get the hell up out of here. Like, like
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 13: you do something, don't micromanage me all the time because
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 13: you don't have anything going on. And I had a
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 13: lot of things to do. You know, we go golf,
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 13: we can go, you know, we can do all kinds
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 13: of different stuff. But for a little while, at least
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 13: for me, anyway, I was just trying to be that
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 13: same guy and didn't realize you don't have to be
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 13: that guy anymore.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah.
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 2: New chapter of your life, dude, you're not, you're not
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 2: doing that anymore. It's okay.
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 13: Try to, and just slow down and enjoy life a
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 13: little bit. And like you said, it was, it was
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 13: wild to actually watch your team play and you're not
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 13: there anymore. You know, you're not going through training camp.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 13: And now, now I even forget, oh, dang training camp started,
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 13: you know, and I'm like, Hey, I'm just enjoying summer
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 13: going to golf and doing whatever, you know? So it's,
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 13: it's a huge blessing playing and playing for as long
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 13: as we got to play. But it's also a nice
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 13: blessing now that we got time to do some other things.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you the other thing, I don't know how
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 1: much time we have left, is also the around the
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 1: clock health care.
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I got the sniffles. I'm sick about something,
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: you know, B12 shots, Z-Pak, like just being able to
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 1: get what you needed immediately as opposed to like, hey,
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 1: you said two weeks to get into the point?
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Okay. All right. That's cool. Like, you know, it
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 5: was like that. That's the adjustment too. Filling out all
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 5: the forms. You need an MRI. Like you get an
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 5: MRI in an hour.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: You're like, wait three weeks.
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 2: I still call the coaches.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 5: I still call the old guys.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 2: Hey man, I still need something.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 5: All right, Vinny.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 2: You need to get a real doc.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 6: But okay.
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 2: I got you this time.
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 6: You said how much time you guys have a hard
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 6: out and I believe it's two minutes, five minutes.
• 2:25:06

• 2:25:17
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you watched the first season, but in case
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 5: you didn't, here's a quick spoiler-free refresher. Glenn Powell is
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 5: one of the creators of the show, and he also
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 5: stars as Chad Powers, an oddball superstar quarterback who walked
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 5: onto the struggling South Georgia Catfish determined to lead the
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 5: team to the college football playoffs. But Chad's got a
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 5: crazy secret. He's actually the disgraced quarterback, Russ Holiday, who
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 5: quickly realized that keeping his identity a secret would be
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 5: a lot harder than he ever expected. And this season,
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 5: the catfish is out of the bag. And everyone around
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 5: him is growing suspicious, especially Coach Hudson, who's played by
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 5: Steve Zahn, and rival quarterback Jerry, who's had it out
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 5: for Chad since day one. With the walls closing in
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 5: this season, the stakes are higher than ever to hide
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 5: the truth and stay in the game. And the only
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 5: way he can hope to pull it off is by
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 5: winning back the one coach who wants nothing to do
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 5: with him. Watch the all-new season of the Hulu original series,

• 2:26:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, five minutes.
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 5: I got one for you guys. Obviously, when we come
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 5: into the league, whether you get drafted or you're playing
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 5: and you're on the roster and you feel like you're
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 5: living the dream and, holy shit, I'm an NFL player.
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 5: I'm doing the thing that I love most. When did
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 5: you guys start to first experience the business side of
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 5: the NFL?
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 13: Hmm.
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 2: You got that one?
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 1: I'll say it started immediately. I held out for three days.
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, you held out just from the jump.
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 1: I went to OTAs and minicamp, all of the things
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 1: in the offseason I'm talking about. The thing I never
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: understood is you get drafted in April. Why is it
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 1: that guys wait until August to sign a contract? You're
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 1: slotted already. You pretty much know what the number is. And,
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I missed my first three days
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 1: of training camp. And I've been there since April 24th
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 1: or something like that. It just makes no sense. But
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: I would say when I got to training camp, there
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 1: was already, I never forget, first day we were practicing
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 1: and Adrian Wilson was a great safety that played for
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: us for 12 years. He was, you know, all pro, physical,
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: downhill guy. And I was running a crossing route and
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 1: it was seven on seven. And we were just in
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: shells and shorts. And it was zone. And he hit me.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: He just dropped me. And I look back, I'm like,
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 1: who hits in seven? Like we don't even hit in
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 1: seven on seven in college. Why? And he, and he,
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: and he was just like overly physical with me and
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 1: plays that didn't really require physicality. And he was like
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: trying to set a tone with me. And it was like, if,
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 1: if I didn't do something and I remember we got
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: into a fight and like, he stopped messing with me
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 1: after that. he was checking my temperature to see if
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: I was a punk, you know? And so like, I
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 1: held out, he's like this prima donna holding out, you know,
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 1: for this money. And, you know, so it was, that
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 1: definitely was, you know, a rude awakening and seeing the
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 1: business of ball and, you know, not necessarily loving negotiating
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: for contracts and stuff. That's not necessarily fun because you
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: just want to play, right? But there is a business
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: aspect that we all have to focus on because, you know,
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 1: not everybody can play 24 years, you know?
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, was there ever a moment where you weren't going
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 5: to be playing for the Cardinals or you thought like, oh,
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 5: I might be moving on to a different team?
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 1: No, no, we always negotiated in good faith. I think
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 1: I signed like five or six contracts with them. And,
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I think you understand.
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I negotiated five or six.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 8: You signed five or six contracts as well. You were
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 8: on the same team.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: Honestly, agents, and this is not a knock on any agents,
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 1: but agents– sometimes do their clients a disservice. You have
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 1: to know your market. If Adam scored the most points
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 1: out of any kicker, his percentage was the highest, and
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: somebody got a new deal, he knows his leverage is
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 1: pretty high based on what that person did and the numbers.
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 1: If you had an off year and you had a
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: contract year, and you're asking for what such and such
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 1: got and the numbers don't make any sense, there's no comps.
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 1: the team's going to be like, no, we're not giving
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: you that. And the agent sometimes doesn't always give you
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 1: that feedback and information and be like, no, no, I
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: really love it here. This is where I want to be.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 1: I got a coach that trusts me. I have continuity
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 1: with the guys around me. Is it less than what
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 1: I would make on the open market? Probably so, but
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 1: I know I can thrive here. Those conversations are something
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 1: that Tom's not had and guys get put in bad spots.
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: And so I never wanted that to happen. I had
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 1: a great agent in Eugene Parker, God rest his soul,
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: who kept me abreast of everything. He would ask me
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: questions about you know, do you want to be here? Like,
• 2:29:52
  Speaker 1: do they treat you well? And like all the questions
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 1: that you have to take in consideration when you're, when
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 1: you're signing these new deals and negotiating.
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 13: Unlike Larry, I was an unrestricted free agent coming in. Like, no,
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 13: I didn't get drafted. So I had zero negotiation power
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 13: on that, which was cool.
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 5: I didn't care.
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to be there.
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 13: The business side, I did get franchise tagged a couple
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 13: of times. Right. So, get done kicking the game winner
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 13: in a Super Bowl. And I'm like, I'm going to
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 13: get paid for a change because kickers don't make receiver money, right?
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's different. But you're thinking you're going to
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 2: get you a contract multiple years and then they hit
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 2: you with a tag. I'm like, come on, man.
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 13: And then we did it again and they did it again.
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 13: And I'm like, played 10 years in New England, never
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 13: saw free agency.
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 1: Not one time.
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 1: Facts.
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 2: So that was the business side of it. Did it ever.
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 5: Get contentious with New England?
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 6: A little bit.
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 2: Well, then when I... didn't get franchised after my 10th year.
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 2: I said, all right. And I love the Patriots. I
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 2: love the organization. Love everybody there.
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 13: I'll say a lot of nice things about it in
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 13: my speech and stuff. But after they decided not to
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 13: franchise me for a fourth time, I said, cool.
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 5: I said, good.
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 2: Now I want a five-year deal. And I ended up
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 2: going to the Colts because the deal didn't get done.
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 2: So not because I wanted to leave.
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 1: It's just.
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 13: Just a different philosophy on that. But the one other
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 13: thing that I wanted to talk about, the business side
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 13: of it. And when you said that, I thought about
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 13: my rookie year. I'm going against Matt Barr, who is
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 13: a 40-year-old vet. Bill Parcells is probably favorite kicker of
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 13: all time. Huge kicks for the Giants to help him
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 13: win a Super Bowl. And I'm going head-to-head against him.
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 13: I'm the rookie kicker, whatever. And at third preseason game,
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 13: before the game, that Saturday night meeting, he walks up
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 13: and he says, hey, Vinatieri. You're going to do all
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 13: the kicking tomorrow. All the extra points, kickoffs, field goals.
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 13: He said, I'm going to see if you got what
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 13: it takes or if you pack up your shit and
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 13: go home.
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 2: You all right with that? That's when I knew this
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 2: was business. This isn't about fun.
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 13: This is about winning. It's about doing your job. Thankfully,
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 13: I went three for three in the preseason game. It
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 13: was a preseason game, right? A couple of touchbacks. Matt
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 13: Barr got cut the next day. I was like, oh,
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 13: it's like that. So I'm sure they probably told him,
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 13: and I don't know, I wasn't in the room, but
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 13: they probably said, hey, if this young kid doesn't know
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 13: what he's doing, you're coming back. So don't worry about it.
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 13: But that's when I realized, I'm like, this isn't college ball.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 13: This isn't high school. This is about what can you
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 13: do right now. And if you don't do a good job,
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 13: you know. And I had a rough game a couple
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 13: games in, and he said our kicker is week to week,
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 13: which I knew what the heck that meant, right? If
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 13: you have one more bad game, you're never going to
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 13: be heard about again. So, yeah, the league is awesome.
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of unbelievable things, a lot of great memories,
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 13: a lot of great things. But it's ruthless too now.
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 2: You got to make sure you do your job. Otherwise,
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 2: here today, gone tomorrow.
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 6: I believe we have– No more time left. Let's end
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 6: with the BLQ.
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 5: The BLQ? BLQ.
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 6: Now, you guys, this has been fun. I've really enjoyed myself.
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 6: Time to see the ruthless side. This is the hardest
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 6: question to be asked probably this entire weekend.
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 8: So buckle up.
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 1: William?
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 5: Gentlemen, you guys know how anybody would do anything for
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 5: an ice cold Bud Light. What would you two do
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 5: anything for?
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 8: Can't say family.
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 2: And obviously individually, not like together.
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 6: Unless you guys want to do something together. That's between
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 6: you two. If you want some examples, we have them.
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 6: But if you want to let your imagination.
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 2: Give us a couple.
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 5: Joe Thomas, 1970s generational Wagyu bull. He would love that semen.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 2: So that way he's got like a farm and shit.
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 5: So he wants to like do red meat.
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 6: Devante Adams would love to go to space. Brock Bowers
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 6: would love a nice steak dinner. What else?
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 5: Luke Kuechly was really all Luke Kuechly said was like
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 5: live through you on your big sheep hunt that you're.
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 2: Going to go on.
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 6: Steve Rinella said he'd love to go back in time
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 6: and see dinosaurs. So floor is yours.
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 2: Possibilities are endless.
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 5: Floor is yours. Go ahead.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 1: It's easy for me. Uh, I would do anything to
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 1: raise a successful second fund and our venture fund and
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 1: have a couple, uh, unicorns in the fund. I would,
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 1: I would do anything for that.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 5: You are a businessman and I love that about you.
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 2: I'd like to raise a couple of unicorns too. I'd
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 2: have a hell of a zoo at that point. Larry,
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 2: if you can't just get the, we can, the boys
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 2: can participate.
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 8: In the fund.
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 2: We'd like to be on that unicorn as well.
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 5: No doubt.
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 6: Gosh, I'm still, um, Clay Matthews said win the lottery.
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 5: I'm just, I'm filling a.
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 2: Cupola right there. That would be awesome too. Oh man,
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 2: you're killing me.
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 5: Is there a.
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 2: Hunt you'd like to go on that you haven't been
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 2: on yet?
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: No, I got one for him.
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear it.
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 5: His daughter does so well.
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 2: Can't be family though.
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: It can subsidize the expenses that you have to pay
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: for the horses.
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 6: That's a really good one.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 5: Just break even. Perfect.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 2: Just break even. That is actually very, very, very solid.
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 6: Break even with horses is probably a pipe dream.
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 2: But it's still awesome. I would like to wake up
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and be as talented as this guy.
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 6: Isn't that beautiful?
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I think.
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good one.
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I think that's a good one.
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 5: Those hands. Are you kidding me right now?
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 6: You've been up to the Buffalo chip?
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 1: You should see his son though, man. I know he
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 1: was a kicker yesterday at night when I met his
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 1: son's fiance, because he out kicked his coverage there.
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 5: Why did you say that?
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 13: There might be some premonitions in my speech on that
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 13: exact comment.
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 6: I ain't telling you.
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 5: Stay tuned. Stay tuned.
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 6: About to break the internet with that. Boys, we're getting
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 6: the spinning wheel of death from everybody. We appreciate both
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 6: of you guys taking the time. Very busy week. Massive
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 6: fans of both of you.
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 6: A lot of shots at Michigan. All good.
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 5: I can tell. No, no, no. It's a great university.
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 2: Who's winning?
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 8: Are they playing?
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 10: No, no, no.
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 5: This is a championship.
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 6: This is a championship.
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 2: They canceled the series.
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 5: They canceled the series. They're afraid of you.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 6: They're afraid of you.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 5: They canceled it.
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 6: That's not true. I actually talked to Marcus Freeman. I
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 6: was like, we got to get Michigan Notre Dame back.
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 6: And just the word of Michigan, you could tell he
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 6: was like, really, I don't want to play against them.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 5: Caved out.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 6: I don't want to play against that hard blue-collar team
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 6: right there.
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 2: How's Michigan going to do against Ohio State this year?
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 6: Well, we're 4-1 in the last five. It's a great question.
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 6: It all depends on our quarterback.
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about last year. I'm talking
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 2: about this year.
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 6: This year, when it comes to rivalry games.
• 2:36:07
