• 6:55
  Speaker 3: in touch with some of the guys. They are like

  Speaker 3: some of the coaches. But man, it was just like
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: that football was like the essence of the school.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Like Taylor Heineke.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: We played Taylor Heinike school and hey, Taylor, we we

  Speaker 3: different personalities like clashing people pointing fingers and like just
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: yelling at each other because emotions are high.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: We just lost the game, right.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: We thought we were gonna win with the backup and
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: it was it was it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Was help and it was hell playing with with Tesz.

  Speaker 2: he ever look you over the middle of once?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yep? Wasn't supposed to be. I mean it was supposed
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to be like just fit like, you know, just fit up.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm running a shallow and I sit and I
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: turned right into him and he just just lowers his
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: head and I'm like, oh god, are you here off
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: the ground.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm trying to stay off the ground.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I just got smacked.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: They would talk about how like, uh like how smart
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: he was, like instinctive he was, yeah, not show up
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to practice, but he'd be like he would know everything
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: when he would show up, Like sometimes they say they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: come in, he'd be in the hot tub, and he'd
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be like, now I'm not practicing. The day, they'd be
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: trying to get him to come out to practice while
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: practice and warm up at starting and he's like in
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the hot tub because like, no, I'm not practicing today.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But then he come out the next day, say it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: like a fast Friday, and he would know everything, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: he'd be on the field like pointing shit out.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, Like even when he was hurt, like
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: when he was injured or like off the field or something.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: He'd be like the trainers would be on him. He'd
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: be kind of talking to them, looking at the field
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: and be like it's a fucking cross route, just yelling
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: it before the play and it's a cross and he
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: gets pissed. And then he's like doesn't matter if he's
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: hear or not. He's putting someone on. He's going back
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: in and I'm.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Like, what are you? Are you serious? Like how do
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you know that? Like, and he's just he's smart.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: He's one of the smartest football players that I've been around,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Like defensively for sure, but maybe in general, Like he
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: knew concepts really well.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It was crazy. When did when did Marvin get fired?
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: My fourth year so going into my contract year, so
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: this last year, so no, no, no.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: No, because you had you've had Zach Taylor for a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, three years. Oh, and the Bengals
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: extended you. Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: So after the after those four years, Margaret's fired, Bengals
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: extend me and I was there for three years.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and then that's when you guys kind
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: of have, you know, battle on through some stuff. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: will say the one uh pre draft visit I went
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: on with Cincinnati. What a hell hole it was at
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the time. Maybe it's maybe it still is. I don't
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: know what more they did to but at the time
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that I went, there's a fucking like the cafeteria was
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: in the basketball gym and they would just set up tables.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they they they renovated that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: They switched it up for sure, because now it's I
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: don't know if you remember or not, like now you
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: walk in, you take it right, and the cafeteria is there.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Well, it was just just like a it was just
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: like a room with a couple of chairs in it. Yeah,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's still okay, at the time, oh that was still
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the case from Yeah, but you talked to everybody around
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the league everybody's like, oh, Cincinnati has got the worst.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, are you like that's the that's there's a couple
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: of teams for sure that I hear, But yeah, it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: it's up there.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: So you were grinding there for what six seven years?
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: You wish you would have stayed?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Nah, I mean it was like was a situation going
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: into this last year.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Obviously you have you have a good year, but are
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: you wanting to stay in Cincinnati?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I mean I think I think you're in a place
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: for seven years. Right, You're like, dang, like this is
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: you know, you make it your home. And you're like,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: and I talking to people that like one of my
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: boys is like in the corporate world even right, and
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, you know, I've bet this company for
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: four years, and I'm like, dang, do I really want
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: to take this other job? Like that's gonna be tough,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: like me and the family. I'm trying to start, like
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: start a family with my wife all this stuff. And so, yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: you're comfortable in a city that like embraces you, especially
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: after like like you said, being through the ship and
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: then going to the super Bowl, You're like, oh, dang,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: like you know, I got you know, I I've made,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I've planned some roots here, like I kind of want
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: to stay. And then you know, you you see certain
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: things and you're like, dang, all right, cool, Like man,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I kind of see that you're wanting to maybe go
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: a different direction.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: What are what are the certain things? It's just you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: like like trying to rotate other guys in there. No,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: it's not that. It's it's more like just contractually stuff.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like throw me a bone maybe, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you don't get that, and you're like, all right, well,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I know another team that has some young
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: talent that is gonna, you know, throw me your bone
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and and I'm gonna stick with them.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: So is it one of those situations where they're trying
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to start negotiating like way ahead of time and then
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: like every player gets like disrespected in their first offer.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean and you're either you either understand what's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: happening or like there's some guys who just get so
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: pissed off that like, you know, they're trying to disrespect
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: me type of things.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: No, I mean I knew a couple of yeah, so
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: like I knew how they were gonna do it. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: knew how it was the first time, and and I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: knew that's kind of the the way that you know
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: that contract works. And it's not just since it's most teams.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Most teams are ye, I'm trying to blow ball, that's business. Yeah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: But it was the ending stages we were like, okay, cool,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: like nice. We got a couple back and forth, like
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: let's see if we can like actually plant something down,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: and it was just like not happening. And I was like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: all right, well, I mean that's that's fine. Like it
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: sucks right like seven years like dang, But at the
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: same time, it's like, all right, nice, Like I'll go
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: somewhere and make something to shake with with a young
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: team with some dogs in them.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go with the dog in them.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you do a pretty good job
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of like keeping your emotions separate from like the whole
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: business thing, Like, let's see, it seems by by the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: way you're talking, like you wanted to work out, but
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: if it doesn't, like you're all right with trying something new.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Clearly that's the option you did.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: But some guys they want to stay with their team badly,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and we'll do you know, whatever to make it work,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and usually the player ends up like you know, not
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: CosIng in the business world of like taking a lower
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: deal to stay with the team or stay in the city.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah I think, uh, I mean, I mean I would
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: have for sued, but it was it was, it was
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: pretty bad, but dude.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Like George was on the pod a couple of weeks
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: ago and then we were talking about the Deebo Samuel
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: situation and he goes, look, man, he's going to have
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a locker, Like he's gonna have a locker here in
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: San France, Like we hope he stays with the team.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: But he's like, you only get this small window for
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: each individual or each athlete to capitalize on like what
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: they've worked their entire life for. He's like, who am
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I to like say, hey, don't go get your money,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like you only have this much time.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: To acquire it, Like you have to do what is
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: best for you.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Some guys, some guys, you know, their priorities are said differently,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but it's not like every every player goes through that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: like a situation to where so, hey, you got to
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: do like it is best for you. Because when the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: logo's gone and the shield is gone. No one cares
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: what's happening. You know, no one's gonna care what happens
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to you or what happens with you. Say hey, good
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: luck in the next the next chapter.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and the guys know that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I still I still talk to some of
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the guys in the locker room for sure.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: You know, the punter was probably my best friend.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Kevin was probably my best friend for the past couple
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: of years, you know, on the team.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: So we still talk.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean everyone knows, like you know, they
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna have some problems just retaining Joey
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: b back there. So I was like, yeah, I mean,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: there's no understand like if.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It's a lot, if it's like a longer deal, because
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Joey Be's got what two more years or two more
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: will they'll.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Have to probably renegotiat.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: But he just finished his second year, right, Yeah, yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: so no doubt, like they gotta It's like that time
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: frame that everybody talks about, like in the media, like
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you have your quarterback on a rookie deal at the moment,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you better build all around him to try and obviously
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl exactly. But no, I feel you, man,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: it does seem like you do a good job separating
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: separating the two though, well.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I I will definitely like hats off
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: to my my agent for that because he was like, hey,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: like your job, like I know that you have emotion
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: into this, but like, like my job is to make
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: sure that like I'm looking out for you and your
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: best interest. Like if you're wanting to like take this,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: just no, it's it's not good. Like it's not something
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: that I would recommend you taking. Like just talk to
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: your parents about it. Let me talk to your parents
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: about it, Like, let me just like try to inform
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: you of everything that's going on. And I'm like, dude,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: thank you, like because you know it it is it's
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: a it's an emotional game in general, and then you
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: like tie your root somewhere. But he was like, hey,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: you got to take that out of it. And that
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: definitely helped for sure.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: And now we're who always in the who always in
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the game for you. Those Jets came up, man, they
• 20:44

• 20:46
  Speaker 2: want to you know, a ballgame er two.

  Speaker 3: This year now ill probably win Way more than a
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: ball gamer. You know what I'm saying. We've got the
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: MVP front run right now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: There's no question bro Zach Wilson, the dog that everybody
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: this facade that is getting created is is pretty funny. Yeah,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: but yeah, how do you feel about going through OTAs
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and everything with the Jets? Like getting acclimated to New York,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Like being out there in the city, like you go
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: from Cincy that type of situation. I've heard the Jets
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: have an incredible fucking facility where you probably go over
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: there and you're like, yo, how do all teams don't
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: have it like this? I haven't been there, but like

• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I mean it's I mean the city is amazing, right, Like,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm happy that our facility is kind of a
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: little bit further away too. Is it's like forty forty
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: five minutes shit an hour fifteen with try I don't know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: it just depends on the traffic. But yeah, so I

• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, and I think there's talks about this.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I think the PA needs to put like a ranking
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: list of teams.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is what.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: This is what's available for the facilities, like, this is

• 23:10
  Speaker 3: like all the whole everyone has it. So you're like,
• 23:13

• 23:20
  Speaker 3: or there's like in your head you're like, okay, nice,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: like this is the offer, but like maybe the facilities

• 23:38

  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because we'll be in the PA meetings and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: everybody be kind of arguing about the old like the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: training room set up and like the access you have
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: because they want you to If you get hurt off site,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it doesn't pertain or happen it's it does it doesn't

• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like ADS facility, then they'll take care of you, right.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And everybody just argues back and forth about like we
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: would train there or we would be there, but everything
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: is shitty compared to what you can get training somewhere
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: else in the off season, whether it be Nashville, Austin, La, Arizona, Miami.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Going back to your college is yeah, fucking insane, right,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I go back and I'm like, how
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: much did you guys spend on this? Like donor money
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: is paying for all of this, and like we can't
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: have what like.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Right because NFL's money goes to players. Money in college
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: goes to like getting recruised. So yeah, you're right, it's
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: like you you're better off going to your college and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: getting taken care of. But no, I agree with you
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: What do we have next.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here thinking about all the different spotsors trainer,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: because I do remember vividly did you go to the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Do you go to the PA meetings?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I went to some of them during the COVID stuff
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and I just had to get out.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Man. I was like, you guys are asking the most absurd.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I say, the COVID stuff is this when they're zooming
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: the PA meetings? Okay? Yeah, that's you never went to
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the in person once? Nah, I was supposed to this
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Like this year, I'm getting text like with with Cincinnati guys.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I like, as I'm not, I'm not in this anymore,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Like I'm gonna have to remove myself. So I haven't
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: been to any of them.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Are you like an altar? We are you like an alternate? Yeah? Yeah, Hey,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I got a.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Question from someone who's not in the NFL because I
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: feel like a lot of our listeners when you hear
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: about the NFLPA, the only general consensus from players is
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: that you hate them. Can you all like go into
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: more depth of why the NFLPA is like maybe poorly run,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: or just give us more insight to people who don't
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: get to understand what the PA really is doing and.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's hard to because number one, even with
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that question, you already put us on the other side
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of the fence from our own union, the NFLPA, the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: NFL Players Association is our union. And guys have a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: lot of mixed reviews on the PA on how you
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: know it's ran. Guys always have a million questions when
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you go to the meetings. It's like I it's when
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I hear guys complain about it or get upset about it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: There's like things that obviously I none of us know
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: everything about it, but you sit there and hear stuff
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: on them being involved with the NFL a little bit
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: more than they probably should be, or they could be
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: working side stuff, or we build up this war chest and.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: We never are really gonna do anything with it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: If we're just going to cower up and sign the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: dotted line right before a new CBA happens, which in
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: my opinion, is what we did this past CBA. Is
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we all sign Half the guys were signed before we
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: even got to the NFLPA meetings, And so there's there's
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: just always this like there's a lot of mixed reviews
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: about it. Like if we had Dennis Kelly on here,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly is somebody who I look to who I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: always try and hit up because he's.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Somebody who plays that side of Like, you got.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: To understand it from this point of view, because some
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: guys will be really emotional about it and they just
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: fucking hate it. But there's a lot of guys who
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: don't go to the meetings or they don't show up
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to stuff. So by the time guys are showing up
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: at these meetings, when they have them these destination places
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: or when you have them on zoom, I mean that one,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that one is, that one does suck. But when you
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: go and meet and we're all in the big room
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and having our getaway every year, that three day trip,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: guys are arguing over so much stuff.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: You can't get anything done.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It's like you sit there because we're going back and forth,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: or we're trying to get stuff done with like thirty
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: two NFL owners. You're talking about guys who you're talking
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: about people who are the elite of the elite. There's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: thirty two of them sitting in a room. They understand
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: negotiating way more than any of us ever fucking will
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: because they've been doing business.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Their entire life.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: They're not like, yes, some of them could be people
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: can argue like trust fund or legacy children or whatever
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the case may be.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: But it takes a lot of work to be a billionaire.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: And you're all sitting in a room and there's thirty.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Two of you, and with us the NFLPA, you get
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: two fifteen hundred guys. Now all of us aren't there
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: at the meeting, but you get all of us in there,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and we're just charged up athletes trying to argue, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: we think we know what we need to be doing,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: but guys are just sitting there fucking arguing all the time,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and it's like, Yo, this is not happening in the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: owner's room.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: We know that.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And everybody argues over stuff, and some of it's petty
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: enough to where it's like we try and get stuff
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: taken care of in the season where they come in
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and visit us and have our meetings. And what I
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: think about that is like, we have to pay attention
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: in those small meetings because when we have them in season,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they're usually after practice there later in the year where
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: it's dark out already, you're already in the grind of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a season. Somebody from the NFLPA is standing up there
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: we're either making fun of him, or you're trying to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: joke about the coaches you know, doing too much in practice,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: or we're having you know what I'm talking about, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you vote on your reps, your alternates and this that
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the other, and we don't take care of the small
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: stuff that we try and we end up arguing about
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: when we're at these big meetings.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of my two that's kind of like.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: My thoughts on it when I sit back, because I've
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: been an alternate a few times, Like I've been in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the little meeting rooms and I argued one time about
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: practice squad guys getting a credited season, and they ended
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: up getting that done because Lorenzo Alexander was he was
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a peace squad guy for like two or three years
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and ended up.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Helping Pioneer like getting something done. But you can't get
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: stuff done.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: But to me, guys aren't locked in like they should be,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and they would rather judge and have big opinions versus
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: taking the time to think about actual situations.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: And guys just they just like some guys just like
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: hearing themselves talk like yeah, it's like.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: It's dude, some duds be on their thing.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: And they're spitting game like saying like hey let me,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: let me, let me, let me spit something to you,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: let me, Hey, let me educate you. It's like, no,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you're not educating anybody. You're just saying the same thing
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: over and over again for ten minutes. And then they're
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: giving you an answer, saying like hey, like we'll come
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: back to you on it, and you're like okay, what
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: and you're trying to word it in a way that's like,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: well you just said that. You're just trying to sound
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: a little smart, but you're something dumber because you're saying
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: the same thing and you're not using bigger.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Words on the phone. Some dudes will start laughing, Yeah, no,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I mean you got to. It's like in honesty is insaaning.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: And those same guys like you just said, like, they're
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: not in every meeting, so they'll miss a couple of
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: meetings and be like they'll hop on five whatever.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: However many meetings later.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: And just be like okay, so what about this and
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: just going to a and like hey, hey, like then
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: you got people talking over each other.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: It's like, hey, we discussed this.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: It's it's this, this and this, but he doesn't want
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: to hear it because he wasn't a part of that meeting,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: and so and I was just like, all right, I'm
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: gonna I have the floor. I started talking. I'm gonna
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: keep talking. It's like, dude, just shut up.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Hell well, there's not like full tendance with the reps
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: or the representation who the guys who get voted on
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and some guys who complain you need the money guys
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to show up, Like yeah, that's like a that's a
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: valid argument, but like it's just it's way more.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: It's like guys are it's we don't spend enough time
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: trying to get the actual stuff done. And I think
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: on the flip side, as a player, you sit back
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and you see some of the stuff that does get
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: done or the way it's handled, and sometimes like like
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I know, for me, it's like I would like you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: want killers going up against these, you know, going up
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: against the NFL. Sometimes like guys feel like we can
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: see it a little too early too much, which I
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: would agree with.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: On certain in certain situations or certain areas.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I'm doing my best to toe the line with all
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: all this stuff because obviously I'm pro for the boys,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: like I want stuff to get done for the players
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: for the NFLPA.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: So I am for the NFLPA.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: So I try and hesitate like talking shit, so to speak,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: because I want us to be better. So in my mindset,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it's like instead of bitching about it, like like, let's
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to like be together on something
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: or show up or you who are sitting here bitching
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: about the whole time, like be on a phone call
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: or show to a meeting, so that way you understand
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: like what you're digesting and spitting out in the first place.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean, I'm that I'm with you. It's
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: you just said. It's just bitching. It's a whole lot
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: of bitching, and there's no like, there's nothing constructive that
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: comes out of it. If you're just gonna yell or
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: like talk or raise your voice, or if you don't
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: get the answer you want or like yeah, like if
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: you don't get the answer that you're looking for in
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: your head too, then it's just all hell breaks.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: So then you freak out more.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And you spend too much time talking on certain topics
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to where you waste all your time the dumbest stuff,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the dumbest shit.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: For the r answer are on the dumbest things. It's
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: not on the things that are important too, which is
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: the which is why I'm just like, dude, I'm pissed off,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Like I'll just meete myself.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of draping.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna put my phone down twenty minutes later,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: but he's still gonna be talking. We're still gonna be
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: talking about the same pot because someone else is gonna
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: jump on about something that has no effect on anything
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: in the grand scheme of things, like it just so
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: minute and then we get nothing done, because then it's like,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: all right, we got an hour and a half conversation,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: twenty of it's been on.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: The people have left the phone call. Just what have
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: we done exactly?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But if you're a player listening to this, I advise
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: everybody to go to these meetings that we have every year,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: especially the one that the nation was like you plus
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: one first class, Like it's a little vacation for sure,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: but don't just go for the vacation.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Show up to the meetings. I know a couple of
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: years that there was like an attendance because.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: People would go get taken care of on like you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: hotel first class plus one and dudes wouldn't show up
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to these show up to the meaning where they'd start
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: taking attendance. That's why tennant started to happen. Yeah, oh
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that's funny, dude. This past year going to the Super Bowl,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: being this fucking close, What was it like experiencing the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and getting there on some like bullshit calls?
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Can you elaborate on that? So?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I know one in particular against the Raiders that uh,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: that play in the end zone and the whistle was blown.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I think that was a bullshit call. I don't, I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: don't recall that one. Bring it up, Jack, I don't.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about. To be honest
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: with you, I this man, just Johnny on the spot
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: out here. What are you doing?
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: He'll bring it, He'll bring it up. It was like
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: it was toys. Definitely not the final play, No, no, no.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the final play because the Raiders were trying
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to go down to score.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't remember whistle on that one.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately we stopped a rot pretty short from the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: end zone when it's the last play of the fucking game.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I got cut the week before, however, I was all
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: about caping the boys going into the playoffs, because I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: do strongly believe that I was a huge reason why
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: we got there.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, for sure, just keep it straight face through
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the entire time.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Dude, Foster's a stud man's very funny individual when you
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: get to know his humor, because at first you kind
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of can't tell.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: No, you have no idea, no clue. The first time I
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: met him, latt was was last tight in you.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: And I was just like, what you thought he was autistic? Right? No,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I saw I didn't think that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I was just like, this guy's got some he said,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and he was like, yeah, you know, you're talking about Joe.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, you know, tell Joey said hey, like
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: that's my boy. Blah blah blah. And then it like clicked.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you two are probably the same
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: because you got the same sense of humor like your friend's.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Probably because you're just like, you say something and you're
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: just straight faced and then you'll laugh maybe later, or
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: smile maybe later in like a cynical way, and you
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: think it's funny and it's not really that funny, but
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: then it turns out that it is funny.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I was like a whirlwind, but like that how it is?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: You got to keep up with him.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, as we wait on as we wait on
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: him bringing this play up.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Playing with Joe B dude seems like the truth. Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: he's he is. I mean he's he plays like a vet.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: You know, he's he's Oh so.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Like explain what what what makes him comfortable enough to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: where he commands a huddle like that to you play
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: like a vet.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: He doesn't even like he doesn't even talk too too much.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: But when he talks, it's like, oh shit, like he's
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: spoken like don't.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And when you say talk, are you talking about like
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: speaking in front of the team or are you talking like.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: That really doesn't speak too much in front of the team.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: When he does, it's like, okay, like this is how
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: it is. And and I think the main thing I
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: think too is like an offensive meetings coach is talking
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: and and it is kind of an open dialogue for
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: the most part, Like people aren't like just absolutely going
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: insane out there. But if you would, if you were
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: to say something like Joe would just be like, you know,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I kind of just want you to want to like
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: this or just you know what just get open, like
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I'll find you, like I know, I know where you're
• 35:34

• 36:08
  Speaker 1: shown up for game day like he's.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you how fucking hilarious that is to me?
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Like seeing this man just like sit in his locker
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: and not really talk, not really do much, like he
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: has a chessboard and in front of in front of

• 36:37
  Speaker 3: He's making some moves and he's like hmm, and he'll
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: sit back. And it took like through meetings because he
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: he thought I was gonna be quick, right, like he
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: slept on me. So it took a little bit, but
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: he got out of meetings early. And I just see
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: him sitting there looking at the board and he's like, hey,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you want to make a move, And I'm like all right, cool,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Like so I sit there for a second, I make

  Speaker 3: a move and he immediately moves a piece and I'm
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: like this, you've jackass. You've been You've been calculating every
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: move that I was doing, Like this is weird. And

• 37:04
  Speaker 3: the shit at him and people just are like not

• 37:22
  Speaker 3: get ready to go out to practice like kind of
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: smile a little bit, kind of joke around a little bit,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: be all serious, come back in, kind of sit there
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: for a second, like after games too, like depending on
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: the game, he'll just sit there, no phone, no nothing,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: and his paths just sit there like I'm assuming just
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: analyzing the game.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: But he dude, he's do you ask him why he
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: sits there?

• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Next to me was Drew Sample then like Tyler boyd
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: so TV and I would fuck around all the time
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: like we would. He'd come over to the crib take
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: a shot after every win. Like that was an open
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: door policy for him. We talked about like this open
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: door possily he would walk in the house, take a
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: shot with me, and then just walk out like that's
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: not say a word, not say a word, it's back, cheers,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: good ship, I see you later. And so we would
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: mess around a lot, and you just got Joe in
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: the background as we're like clowning.
• 38:16

• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a sudden, like when it's obviously a big game, he
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: just pulls out the cigar.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: And just yeah, he didn't He didn't want to start
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: sitting a little dancing in the rhythm.

  Speaker 3: Oh no, I think that's a delayed that was the

• 40:15
  Speaker 3: ball was thrown. Like I mean, you hear he's putting
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: the whistle in his mouth. He's not blowing it yet.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: He's blowing it like now, and I'm like, wait, what

  Speaker 3: he know he was going to catch that right now?
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Like what's going on? Did you see me? I'm just like, okay,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: he caught it. That should be a touchdown. I don't
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: know what's going on the sideline over there, but like
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I'm going to act like it's a touchdown and until
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: they say it's not a touchdown. Yeah you see me
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: looking out. I'm not like super hype at the moment
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: because I'm I don't.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Know I was going on touchdown exactly. I didn't know
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: so we needed.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: But I do know. I do know that that was
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: a touchdown. If you look at it too, I mean
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna make the I.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Mean yeah, he's probably not going to make the play.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: However, like for argument's sake, for you, for my narrative.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: For your narrative.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: You got it for media, for everyone else's narrative social
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: media in the world.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: That we need.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be up to you to find the rest
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: of this clip and post it yourself a cool.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: You got we got, we got it, we got it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I'm boys with the boy. We're good. We dropped when
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: he drops the right. Here's the full entire quote. Yeah,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: because I got. I was dealing one with Foster.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Last week on saying that he's the team to beat,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the Raiders are the team to beat in the AFC West,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: and we quote it like in big, like a big
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: graphic like that he said it, and then I'm like
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: very small that people can't understand, and everybody's like arguing,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: that's crazy that he's already claiming that they're the best team.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah. Just to just to roll everybody
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: up on the internet.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Going to Tennessee, talk about that game, obviously you got
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Now as you do talk about it, you got to
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: juggernaut fans back there, and Garrett and Jack. I'm obviously
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: for the boys as well. You beat both both my
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: squads back to back. Was going into Tennessee like I'm
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: sure you guys had all the confidence in the world,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: but Tennessee was fucking rolling. Derrick the King, Henry's coming back, Yeah,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: talk about coming to Nashville.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: All right, I gotta say this too. Offer it.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: After the game, I said, I gotta talking about clickbait
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: and like things that blowing out of proportion. I said,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: you know, the quote was that they were scared of us.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: That's what quoted. Saying that, that's what got quoted. Bring
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: that up, Jake, No, that's what got that what got quoted.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: But the entirety, like I'm long winded, right, so like
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: sometimes I just explain the yeah, explain the situation.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: What I was saying was like the entire situation was, Hey,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I saw the way that they were playing, right, Like
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: the offense was trying to run the ball. They were
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: trying to run the ball. They were trying to milk
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: the clock. They weren't really like like, yo, you guys
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: can come down and you guys can go win this
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: game too.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're on the sideline and we're watching our defense
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: and we're kind of seeing how Tennessee.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Tennessee is playing dot. Oh they're scared of us. Dot.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: You see that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Can we get the ball back, We're gonna win this game.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: That was our mindset the entire time. They know if
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: they give it back to us, it's game over. And
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: then we get the ball back and we're like it's
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: game over.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: So what I was saying was like, okay, like it's
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: a tie. It's a tie game, right, and time's winding
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: down like heavily, and it's just we're still gonna run
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: the ball. We're STI gonna run the ball. We're STI
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: gonna run the ball. It's still and I'm like, oh, dang,
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Like yeah they're not. I mean, they've had some explosive
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: runs like well, like we were happy with how our
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: defense was playing. We're like, yo, this is we're playing great.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: It was a really good defensive game. And we're sitting
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: on the side like dang, Like they're not. Really it
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: doesn't seem like they're like too keen on hurrying up
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: to try to get you know, get a touchdown or
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: getting field g range. It's kind of like it's a slow,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: methodical pace and I know the game of football, Like
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: I'm like, dang, all right, obviously they're wanting to kick
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: a field goal to win the game.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: When you do that, I mean.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm like, you know, certain, I'm like, you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: like you can throw the ball a little b it's
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: third and however long like oh that thing, air that
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: thing out like that's I'm a coach.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: That's how we've been kind of playing.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Like in my mindset throughout the year, it's like all right, cool,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: like yeah, we've been able to run the ball well,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: but like games coming down, we're putting the ball in
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: and on our boy's hand and he's gonna we're gonna
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: make plays on the perimeter. And so I'm just like, yo,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: we get this ball back, like we're good, Like they're
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: they don't want us to touch the ball for a second,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: like they don't want it.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: They don't want us to anything. And so I'm that's me.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just what I'm saying to the team, what
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I'm saying to the squad, like that's how I'm thinking.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: And I did say like, oh, they're scared.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: They're scared of our offense and what we can do
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: right like rightfully, So gotta explain yourself.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: You can talk your ship and they stand up.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: But you know how dudes are on the dudes are
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: on the sideland they'll walk up and down the bench
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and back.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Hey they're fucking scared. They ain't trying to the ball,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: like talk my ship, say what you're trying to back
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: pedal just a little bit.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: I just I just want the record to show I
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: didn't just be like, motherfucker scared of shit.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, we we win and done.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, like respectfully, one hundred percent. We were
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: them dogs great, Like they should be scared of our offense.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: We you know, they're they're having a good game, they've
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: got how many sacks whatever, but like nutcunch time, you know.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: How many sacks and Tennessee get nine none and none
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: eat nine.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: But we're still we're still there, like cool, this is
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: what we do, like end of the game and at halftime,
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: this is what we do.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: We make shit happen. And so that's that's that's that's
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: how I felt. Cool.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it, but like, at least hold me
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: on the whole damn thing. I'm just like, they're scared
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: of us idiots. Three game over.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: If I'm the reporter, like that's obviously the headline.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: There's of course, yeah, like I gotta I gotta word
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: word my stuff a little bit better maybe, but yeah, no,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: coming to Tennessee was sick. I mean I live here
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: in the off season, and so like the hotel we
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: were staying at was like a seven minute walk.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: From where I live.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Oh for real, Yeah, and that's nice. People were like, yo,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: you're gonna go back home, like you want to see
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: your family there.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I was like, now, I'm gonna do the same thing
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: that I always do. I'm gonna be in the hotel.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: If you want to see me, come in the hotel.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Like it sucks because I want to go back to
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: the crib, like hang out, like you get some decent food.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Whatever. But like I do what I do every time.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: So now I was electric.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: I got to have a lot of family and friends
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: come too, because I mean, Nashville is supposed to close
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: to Georgia where I'm from, and it was it was sick.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: When you're going to Nashville.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of this now because you know how the
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: boys like go out and eat and stuff. Yeah, what
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: spots are you putting the boys on coming to Nashville.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question. For the most part. The
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: first thing that I say every time is Barcelona. I
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: love a good tapast spot, tapas and wine. On Monday,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: you got half price wine on Monday, you get to tapas.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Oh come on, I'm in big tapas guy. Man.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Nah, but like, why know you can order it a
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: you can order a lot more so. My wife, she's
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: from DC. There's a Barcelona in DC, and she took
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: us there one time on one of our days. And
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I wasn't the biggest fan because you like, tell you something,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta split it, hey, order up more stuff. And
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: then you know, we were young in the game back
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: then too, so my mind was probably somewhere else, like
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: let's get.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Up, let's get out, let's get out out of this date.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Let's go back home. Yeah,
• 47:12

  Speaker 3: So we're doing some ladder drills and he's like, how
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: do you feel. I was like, ramp it up, dude,
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: fuck it, let's go. Let's just let's send it, see
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: what we can do. And he's like all right, like
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna hurt it too much more than it's
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: already hurt. So like you can do whatever you want
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: to if you can go through the pain whatever. It's like,
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: all right, cool. So that first day we did ladder,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: change the direction, ran a couple like short routes, and
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: he's like, I'm gonna shut you down, like personally, I'm
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: gonna shut you down. Second day, he's like, how do
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: you feel. I'm like, yo, it's stiff. Halfway through he goes,
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: how do you feel now? I'm like, it's still stiff,
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: but like, fuck it, we can just we can push
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: through it. It's like all right, cool, let's go, let's
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: do more. And from that point on, like I practiced
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: probably in and out. I had maybe like three quarters
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: of a full practice total throughout the span of us
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: being in California and throughout those two weeks. But yeah,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: you know, you've been, You're on, You're in chemistry, you
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: know what everyone's doing. It's the last game of the year.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: You know everything. At this point, you're watching films. So yeah,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: it was. But it was a fucking grind, dude, Like,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: that's impressive though, Bro, that was fun.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: And during this time, are you thinking about because you're
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: obviously in your contract year as well, are you thinking
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: about those those things? And if not, is it something
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: when you fast forward to when you're negotiating with the
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Bengals you're probably, I would assume because one year. Obviously
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: I've never signed a big deal, but I had a
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: big deal.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, definitely, no question. I'm not sleeping on the boy.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just speaking from my experience right right, I played
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: on a torn PCL to try and help get us
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs. We end up missing the playoffs, a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: winning game at the very end of the year, and
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: then the next year I was a restricted free agent.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know I was exclusive rights before that because
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: I was a peace squad guy. But in my head,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm the captain starter. They might take care
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: of me and extend me instead of just putting a
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: tender on me, or if they put a tender on me,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: hopefully they put like a higher round tender versus just
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: like just a low round tender. And when it doesn't happen,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: there's part of you that's pissed off because when you're
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: trying to get back on the field, like I played
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: on the PCL within nine days, got back on day nine.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: I was playing in the fucking game.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: I had like two tackles, but they wanted me out
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: there to signal, call and do all that kind of thing,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: which I was about, like, you, you're ready to fucking
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: die on the field for the boys, but being honorable
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't get you paid. When you're going through the negotiations,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: are you thinking to yourself, like working that hard to
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: get back, especially for the Super Bowl, Like you're doing
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: whatever it takes to be out there, even though you
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: tore your MCL. Is there a bitterness that you carry
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: with like when it's like, hey, are we not are.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: We not thinking that?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Like, guys, I want to be here and I'll do
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: whatever it takes to be a Bengal to have I
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: not shown that these past seven years and definitely in recency,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: like trying to get back to the Super Bowl, Like
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: are you thinking about those things?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: I mean at the time, definitely not right.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: I'm at the time my agent had been like, hey, like,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: don't kill yourself out.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Your age is probably trying to talk you out of playing.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: Like hey, he didn't fell like. He was just like good.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: But usually they're like, don't do it, don't don't play injured,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: don't ever play injured.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: In the players, I was like, fuck it, like we're
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: we're trying to win games.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: He was more like, And to be honest, I didn't
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: know how much I was. I didn't think I was
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: going to play the whole game. I thought I was
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: gonna be like situational, like fifteen twenty plays, I'm out
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: there for the first play. Because I was like, all right,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: nice whatever, and coaches like my position, coach is like
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: you're good, and I was like yeah, I'm good, and
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: he just kept he was like, yeah.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I'm good, but also take care of me, like pull
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: me back when you think I need to be pulled leg.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: But like, first half good, second half, forty five minute halftime,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: it's like, holy, like I really if it's hell now
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: is tough. But yeah, I mean at the time, I'm
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: not thinking of anything, dude, I'm just like, yeah.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I'm fast forward to the negotiation period. Are you everything
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: not like that? That's that's you thinking like you guys
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: should be taking care of me because I did X,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Y and Z, but you're thinking.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Like are we not?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Is there appreciation and fucking it seems like you guys
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: are just slapping me in the face for everything I'm
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: trying to do to play right, which.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: Is why like in my head, I'm like like, are
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: you gonna throw me a bone? Like are you gonna
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: like are you gonna like, are you gonna show a
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: little appreciation with with the fact that I was like, dude,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: like screw this, screw the contracts, threw everything.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to make sure.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: I'm out there with the boys to win a Super
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: Bowl and bring that to the organization in the franchise
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: and like you know, everything that the city has been
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: like gassing us up for So yeah, one hundred percent,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: like that is that is definitely going on in my
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: mind the entire time.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even the first which is fair, like that's the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: human being, the competitor, like the loyalty all that ands,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: which sucks because you got to remove that when it
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: comes to negotiating. But at the same time, you're like, man, like,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: that's not coming from a place of like I feel
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: entitled and I should I deserve this, and I you
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: better give me this or you guys are fucking stupid.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: It's just like, damn, like, this is how it's going
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: down right a bone at all.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Right, which is then then that takes that which helps
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: take the emotional aspect of it out because you're like, damn,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: this is actually just cutthroat business.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Right, it numbs you up, yeah, like real real quick.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: So again, which makes it a little bit easier just
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: to be like all right, like agent says, hey, just
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: then you know this is how it is.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: I can see that. I can clearly see that that's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: how it's going to be.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: Nick's probably texting you what are you hearing? It's not good? Nick,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: it's like you're looking.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: Good, buddy, Hell do he look and we'll take we'll
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: take a trip together.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about the talk about the Super Bowl, Like,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: are there situations that you look back on there where
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: there's like pivotal moments or things could have shaped out
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: this way? They're obviously you play that in your head
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: no matter what. But I mean, this is the first
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: off season removed from that Super Bowl. Are the things
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: that looks back like, Damn, we win it if we
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: do X, Y and Z right here in this moment.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Because every player lives in their own movie. Man, if
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I would have done this or had this play shaped
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: out the way we drawn it up or executed the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: right way, like we went off this game.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Like talk us, talk to us about the super Bowl.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: We're sitting around the fire, fucking Grandpa's talking to the boys.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm thinking about it just from my person,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: you know, like I don't know, like certain things like
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: playing playing with my knee and stuff, and like I
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: caught two passes.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: They were like it was for nothing. It was like
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: a couple of yards whatever, And I'm.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: Just thinking, damn, like really I should have I should
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: have made a little fucking corner miss, and then I
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: would have been one on one with the defensive end
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: if I just don't get touched by him for a
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: second and stopped and we're on like the twenty yard
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: line at that point, It's like, all right, cool, I
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: made I like shoved this little ass dB off me,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: and it's a foot race to the end zone. In
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: my mind, to score as opposed to taking a field
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: goal changed the game.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: You got certain like yeah, certain like blocks that you're like, damn, Like, man,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: he was kind of in the hole, like the running
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: back really could have just ran off my ash just then,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: But like did I did?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: I blocked the hole? I did?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: So I think of it from that perspective more so
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: than like anybody like saying like oh wow, this one player,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: like if we would have done this one a little
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: bit different whatever, Like.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Was this sickening knowing that Jamar Chase was wide open
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: on that last play?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sickening for sure. I mean it. Yeah, you think
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: about that too sometimes, Yeah, Like that's what a game though?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: When like OBJ goes down, are you guys thinking like
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: all right, like when you guys are about to play the.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Rams, you want to go get it, Taylor.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe hopefully, as he texted the group chat, well then it.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Might not be him. What was I saying? So OBJ
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: goes down?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, like when you're about to play the Rams,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Like obviously they're clicking as well, they're at the super
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: they're in the super Bowl, they're fucking obviously we we bloss.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: He's not here, but he's a huge forty nine Ers fan.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: We're like, blast so that safety doesn't drop that pick.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Niners are going, yeah, but are there? Oh Steve Burns
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: here our next guest? Fuck I keep losing? Oh oh
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: I keep Obj. But like you know, as a as
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: a player, like the human element of all the pieces
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: that they that they have because they have a lot
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: of fucking caroling on their team. Oh yeah, obviously picking
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: up von Miller late in the year, Obj middle this season,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: But when Obj goes down is one of those things
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: to where you're like, hey, we can get this even
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: more because one of their best players go down.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Dude. It was actually, that's not even like the thought process.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: The thought process was we knew, like we knew that
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: the field felt kind of weird, right, like the paint,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: the paint they had to keep going over it in
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: the middle of the field really, and so we kind
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: of as a team like offensively, we were like, hey,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: like that's the spot. You got to like control yourself,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: like you got to be way more controlled, don't run
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: too full speed, like, oh for real, that's what that's
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: what That's what we talked about. That's what I told
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: the tight ends immediately. That's what the tight end coach
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: told us immediately. That's kind of what we told some
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: of the receivers like, hey, just don't even know, like
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: that's spout of the field's a little fucking weird, Like
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: the paint is.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: It's the spot where OBJ towards me.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: Just the paint in the middle of the field in
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: general was it was a little it was a little
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: it was just different, you know what I'm saying. So
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: it's a little more because they put a little bit
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: too much, not too much, but they just put a
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: little more paint there. So we didn't personally, I didn't think,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: damn nice, this is our shot, Like it was like, boy,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: be the fuck be careful like in that spot because
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: that's where because we couldn't walk there for the team
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: pictures because they were still going over it during team
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: pictures the day before, and so that's the only thing
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: that was on my mind was if I'm around this area,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: especially with my knee, like I gotta I got a tempo.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Damn that sucks to here.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that's like yeah, especially if that's where him
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: doing it there too, Like that sucks.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: That sucks that. That was like a thing. Yeah, have
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: you played in London? Yeah? I feel like London is uh,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: it's got a little slickness to it.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm biased. I love London, dude. I'm a
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: big soccer guy. So like, oh, that was historic. That's historic.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: I was going crazy.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: I hated having the whole fly over there thing. Did
• 1:08:51

• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: to catch up on sleep and shit like that.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: The first time we went over there, we had a
• 1:09:05

• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: most laps on the pacer test, fastest swimmer in the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: county in twenty five meters freestyle. I made a half
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 5: court shot at a high school basketball game at halftime
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: and everybody was going crazy and I let.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: And the coach came up to me. He's like, can't
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: wait till you're in high school? Man. Hey. I was like,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: oh my guys, I'm rap.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Which that's real though, bro, Like that's part of one
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: of my descriptions, Like, but that is fucking real, sir.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: So fifth grade for me, okay, obviously honorable mentioned. Senior
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: year is great for everyone. But if you senior years.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: Number one, you just had a shitty upbringing in high
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: school means that you had to wait till your last
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: year already.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: You should you should have said that I was hoping.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: So for me, it's freshman year of high school. You
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: just love middle school and you were the top dog
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: and now you're the lowest on the totem pole. You
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: thought you were cool and you were like truly dog shit.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: To everyone that walks the halls.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: But if you were special like myself, you might have
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: been friends with a couple of upper upper classmens juniors
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: and the seniors I you know, start running around with
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: you start tapping up some of the homies in the hallway.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: You think you're cool.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: But I remember my sister she rated on me to
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: my mom freshman year and she was like, Jack cannot
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: be hanging out with kids in my grade anymore. She's like,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: like they're starting to like him more than me, and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: like I'm like, hey, like I don't don't know what
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: to tell you, like, and I was I was a
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: like short, little fat kid freshman year, so it was
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: like it was it was an adversity battle all uphill.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: But for me freshman year, there's so much potential and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: like opportunity for growth. You really don't have too much
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: going on. It's easy classes and yeah, the whole change
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: of scenery. So freshman year's tier one.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: So you've you've been in the Cougars off rip, you've
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: always been.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 7: What do you got, Garrett, I'm gonna go with Sophomore
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 7: year for some of the same reasons. Hanging out with
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 7: the older guys on our lacrosse team that used to
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 7: just take me around all the time to all the parties.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: So that's always fun when you're a young dude. And
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 7: sophomore year because that's usually when you get your driver's license.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 7: And so is that from it's that first time, like
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: like you freshman year's your guys descriptions because like, oh damn,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 7: here's the senior year.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: It's okay, No, I'm talking about you're right about sophomore
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: year and you get your driver's license.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because you you you're still young. But then you
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 7: get that little bit of like I'm free, Like I
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 7: can just drive myself places now now you can like
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 7: pile in your homies to drive places. So I think
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 7: sophomore year for me was like that one year where
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 7: you're like, all right, let's get it.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: That's big time. Yeah.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: So you guys just saying your tier ones.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah this freshman sophomore. I like those picks. Boys. I
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: do think that's very good. I think you guys are
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: very fucking good. All right, c J, I'm in. I'm
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: in Sara's seats. So I'm gonna go last. No no no, no,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: no your first. No no no no, you're you you
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: go first.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Actually, if Taylor is on today, I was gonna make
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: the case that I believe I should go last because
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like the record recently is displayed that I've
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: earned the spot, the right to go last.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I usually you all say like guests is right,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: but that's fine. Yeah, I'll go first. I like, I like,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: I like what I like the first. Yes, as usually
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: go first. And it was a toss up for me,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: it really was. It was between for tier one. It
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: was between start with tier three, start with your three.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: You build it up, build it up, and if you
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: if you've listened, so if you get crafty, you can
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: throw in a little well. My honorable mention is pre
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: k nap time. Oh so you have a pre k
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: honorable mention.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: I love that always pre K nap time was goaded
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: like and I remember it. I remember just being like,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: oh nice, Like on the playground, you're running around, you're
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: going crazy. You get back in, you got your nap time.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: That nap time was I mean electric, like that's what more.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: Right now we're in practice, right, we have the craziest
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: we go through camp. Coach says, you know what, no meetings,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: nap time.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. Nat time was a nightmare for
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: me because I went to bench. I was a teenager,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: so anytime I fell asleep, it was like Freddy Krueger's
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: coming for me. And I'd wake up with a soaked cot, you.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: Know what I mean.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: And the first I'm trying.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: To blame the kid next to me or figure out
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: how I get out of this situation. So pre K like,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: you know, naptime was always like I was staying over
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: friends houses, like there was there's some chess being played.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: As I went over there, I would have the doctor
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: told my mom that I had to stop drinking kool
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: aid by seven pm.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: Stop drinking kool aid in general, then just drink water
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Well, stop drinking liquid like the liquid like there was
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: no water when you're a young kid.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: It's like, give me some kol aid. That's facts, like
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: water was boring. You're not about like water tastes shitty
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: when you're a little kid.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: We keep going with my tears, but I just want
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: to say that whatever your tier list is, if it
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: is a grade that's under thirteen, like under the age
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: of being thirteen, I'm gonna judge you a little bit
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: because I'm gonna be like, damn, like it's a good
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: year for you still in bed a little.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Bit, like that's tough. I still have some prime years.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: So tier three we're gonna go one year after pre
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: k kindergarten. Misshead a Summer loved the class thought I was.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: I thought I was the coolest person ever had. Wait,

• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: two three and two No, no, no, no, oh, venerable mention undergarden
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: Tier three. And it's because it's a multi suit of things.
• 1:20:09

  Speaker 1: might have to just say.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: That's my notes because I'm gonna let you keep talking.

  Speaker 1: My My tier one I'm going to say is eighth
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: grade was my most fun time in school.

• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you why because we have a fucking

• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: let him. I will not let him bring this adversity
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: to me. So you know how I said in junior year,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: when you're tight with those boys that are seniors when
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: you're in seventh grade, they're kind of like when you're
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: like that, how old are you then, Like when you're
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: in those like early teenage years, twelve thirteen, those early
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: like teenage years, like.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: The boys are kind of like not you.

• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: school going in the seventh grade. You don't feel like
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: the big dog yet. But eighth grade, I say, we
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: got to run around and do whatever we wanted. Because
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: all my boys' teachers were moms, and one of my
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: favorite teachers of all times, missus kee kick shot out,
• 1:32:07

• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: by two record, relay high jump record, and I was

  Speaker 1: also like the hurdle district champion. Maybe the peak of
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: my entire athletic career was in eighth grade, but yeah,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: my tier one is definitely eighth grade. I felt like
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: the vibes were the highest. We were, the boys were
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: the best of friends. That's when I started sprinting to
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: the cafeteria for lunchtime, not caring who's in my way.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: We knew the principal, one of my boys dads. He

  Speaker 6: to be kindergarten in Miss Berlin's class. You were in
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: Miss Brown's class for kindergarten and first but kindergarten low
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: key like you're kind of finding out the dynamics of
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 6: how the real world's gonna work. It was just like
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: the first time in school unless you went to like preschool,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 6: but that she really don't even count either. First grade,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: Your boy probably peeked from a popularity standpoint. Dude, there
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: was this girl in my class. She was a twin.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: Her name was Courtney Billy, and I missed her this day. Dude.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: I had the biggest crush on her. That's what I
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: found out. I liked girls. And I also had a
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 6: lion king lunchbox that I would walk into the cafeteria
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 6: with holding like this, and all the kids would be
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 6: like yeah, like fire up on it, and I'd put
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: it down in the middle and I'd open it up
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: and eat my fucking WONDERBD with turkey and che probably,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: or if your boy was real lucky, you just kind
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 6: of open it and shake it and there it comes
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 6: out the uncruscible pack, not the uncrestible, the lunchable pack.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 6: But it was just a fantastic year. Not a whole
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 6: lot of responsibility. My biggest issue was there was a
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 6: carpet with letters around it, and it was my job
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 6: every single day to be able to sit at the tea.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: And if I didn't get the t it was a
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 6: bad day, and if I got to the tea, it
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: was a good day. That was kind of like the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 6: be all end all of how my day was gonna go.

  Speaker 2: saying that.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, there's like good times in eighth grade. Man,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: before you go to high school before you have to
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: grow up for real.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: But you don't though, like, wait, well, how many people
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: were in your high school because you.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: Grade Okay, so it's different. Once after fourth grade, I didn't.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: We were out of Catholic private and then we went
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: to uh we went to public school. So our graduating class,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: mind was two hundred and forty.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a little that's a little better for sure.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: I just loved eighth grade, bro.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Like when I say, like all of our boys like
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: their teachers, their their parents were teachers, and like one
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: of my boys dad was like the principal, and you
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: started like so a little league playing football growing up.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: The last year was seventh grade. They nicked the middle
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: school football seventh grade program. Back when I was there,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: they were asking me to play in eighth grade as
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: a seventh grader in the community league or there was
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: reserve rumors about it.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: It never happened, it never transpired.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: But like getting in the eighth grade was like the
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: est time you get to put on for your school
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: and start traveling all around and playing other teams like
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: in the area versus just playing community foot tackle football.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: Did you guys have like an A B team or no, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: you're talking about eighth grade.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the E tea would play and then
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: the B team goes out there for like a quarter
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: Well no, we had two just different teams. Like we
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: had like an a uh nor A and a North
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: one at B. Like there were two separate teams.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like both play on Friday, but just different,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: like different was the best team team A yeah right yeah.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: But like not for like just like people would come out,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 3: you'd watch the B team play and then the eight
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: team would play right afterwards, so you played four quarter.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: We had a big I mean it was a big school,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: so we had a lot of people just playing. If
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 3: it just sucked, dude, I don't know, like seventh grade socks.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: The trade sucks, like damn, you got these periods. Now
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: you're going out like damn, I don't have just one teacher.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: I gotta go to this teacher and I gotta go
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: to that teacher. We had trailers. I'm like, dude, I'm
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: out in the trailers. I'm in eighth grade. Why the
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: hell am I walking out to the trailers.

  Speaker 1: But before school you would have like that home room
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: and we would always have like certain games that go on.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: So say you're a home room. Missus Worley was my teacher.

  Speaker 1: Worley's class was a team you would go and play
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: like hockey in the gym before school started. Like to me,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: eighth grade is like fucking like in the morning, like

• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: sports I was probably played football, basketball, baseball, and track.

• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: I was really good at it as like an eighth grader.

• 1:45:03
  Speaker 7: You have to like use a locker and like get

  Speaker 7: books and go to class. True dress, that was the
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 7: first time you felt stressed in your life. Sixth grade,
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 7: no doubt. Eighth grade was fun, but we were always
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 7: in trouble. Bro Like we did everything you were talking

  Speaker 2: It took our eighth grade trip away.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: Dude, well it yeah, we got we got some that sucks.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: We got some back of the bus driving right now.

• 1:45:34
  Speaker 3: is exactly what it is, Middle JP mid playing the mid.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: I meant to get it up there when you were

  Speaker 2: No grade, No, no, you're right.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: But my man, if you if you listen, if you
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: would have been listening to me, I said, I think
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: we can all agree that all these are interchangeable. Like
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: it was I went, I went based off peak athletic career.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: I felt like, okay, so okay.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: In eighth grade to me was like, I mean I
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: was a don't get me wrong, I was a dogs
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: throughout all of it.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: But eighth grade to me was were I feel like
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: the man for real?
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: Like in eighth grade, you're walking around with like ankle
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: weights on because you think you're changing the game, and
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: you ordered out of an East Bay magazine. Like eighth grade,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: you're starting to figure out a lot more of the
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: East Bay the East Bay magazine, Yeah, for sure. And
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: again walking around the ankle weights, you take them off right,
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: you take them off right.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: Before the game, and you feel light as hell on
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: your feet. Yeah.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 3: Then they find out that that's probably not the best right,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: but at the time to know you you're right, I think.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 3: But like when when did those uh one of those
