- 4:59Speaker 4: Delaney does loog series.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Yeah, Mitchie boy did a great job on the motocross
- 5:03Speaker 3: one with Delaney.
- 5:04Speaker 4: People start to fully enjoy that. Delaney's also like he
- 5:06Speaker 4: could be one of them in real life high RL streamers.
- 5:11Speaker 4: I feel like Delaney could easily.
- 5:13Speaker 3: We had a couple of conversations about that this weekend
- 5:15Speaker 3: the boys. It just seems like a scary world to
- 5:18Speaker 3: get into, a risky It's a risky world. All you
- 5:21Speaker 3: need is one wrong person to walk by, you say
- 5:24Speaker 3: the wrong thing, you have one wrong response, It's it
- 5:28Speaker 3: and game over. Buddy's not for Delaney though.
- 5:30Speaker 5: There's no cut that, there's no none of that.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah.
- 5:34Speaker 3: And for those who are looking at the callbacks, me
- 5:36Speaker 3: like Delaney, when was Delaney the last week? I was
- 5:38Speaker 3: not here. Last week I was on a vacation with
- 5:40Speaker 3: my beautiful family. Delaney sat in my chair, and b
- 5:42Speaker 3: anytime Delaney sits in my chair, I think how much
- 5:45Speaker 3: longer do I have my job? That's how good Delaney is.
- 5:47Speaker 3: That's what I think to myself, here's the other one
- 5:49Speaker 3: from Rich underscore l M n oh shit, is the
- 5:53Speaker 3: bust and Bull trophy gonna be in the game now?
- 5:56Speaker 3: Rich is referring to our recent connection with EA. We
- 6:00Speaker 3: went out for l A. We'll break all of that down.
- 6:03Speaker 3: And I don't know why our team didn't think about it,
- 6:05Speaker 3: but Rich definitely thought about it. We we've got to
- 6:08Speaker 3: have the bust and ball in the college football game,
- 6:11Speaker 3: No have to have to.
- 6:12Speaker 4: I think you're right, and you might be questioning the team. However,
- 6:15Speaker 4: we were doing Maden out there. We were doing we
- 6:18Speaker 4: were doing mad now right, So it just wasn't floating
- 6:20Speaker 4: in the old brain.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Yeah, same company, different branch. Because anytime brings up college
- 6:25Speaker 3: football video games, I like to assume our brains would
- 6:27Speaker 3: immediately go to, how do we benefit ourselves?
- 6:29Speaker 4: And it's possible? Yeah, yeah's got a guy though, yea
- 6:31Speaker 4: more to come.
- 6:32Speaker 6: We got we got the guys, uh Ross, Bradley and
- 6:35Speaker 6: Dirt or what's his name, I'm gonna say, I'm.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Dave. What was his name? He's a Husker.
- 6:41Speaker 3: I feel bad for Oh David, Yeah, David. He had
- 6:44Speaker 3: the beard, he had like the puppy eyes but maybe
- 6:46Speaker 3: more to come with us at the A Sports. So
- 6:48Speaker 3: I think that's one thing we can ask for. Yeah,
- 6:50Speaker 3: Dave sat in the corner Dave most of the time.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Anytime I felt like I was kind of getting scrammled
- 6:54Speaker 3: a little bit, I look at him and he had
- 6:55Speaker 3: those like Doberman eyes and a little bit of I
- 6:58Speaker 3: was like.
- 6:58Speaker 4: And then he just came over and say he don't
- 6:59Speaker 4: worry about what they're saying. What are they saying? He said.
- 7:02Speaker 4: I just said, don't worry about it. You're all good.
- 7:05Speaker 4: If we're going to just brainstorm.
- 7:07Speaker 3: That callback real quick, I just have a quick thought.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I want to know what you guys think. Right after EA,
- 7:11Speaker 3: you go and you play your game, you and your
- 7:13Speaker 3: boy play against other. Hey, you're gonna pick Michigan, I'll
- 7:15Speaker 3: pick Nebraska. We play the game immediately, maybe it's Will
- 7:19Speaker 3: Compton and Taylorwan commentating the game, talking about the bust
- 7:22Speaker 3: and ball, and it only happens. It's like a little
- 7:24Speaker 3: hack takes place, that's like a little easter egg where
- 7:27Speaker 3: when Michigan Nebraska play, all of a sudden, it's Will
- 7:29Speaker 3: Compton Tailorwan doing play by place for that specific.
- 7:32Speaker 5: Game, or on the sideline that might be easier.
- 7:34Speaker 4: Yeah, Or like when they're just you know, say, Nebraska's
- 7:37Speaker 4: coming out of the tunnle, it's just me on the
- 7:38Speaker 4: side of the tunnel, yeah, or somewhere.
- 7:40Speaker 5: You just on the big screen doing your pregame speech.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Or it's.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Just all the players are seventy seven and fifty the
- 7:48Speaker 3: exact same attributes, and it's like, how can we not
- 7:50Speaker 3: just play with Yeah, and it is at just seventy
- 7:52Speaker 3: seven versus a bunch of fifty one, we are winning one.
- 7:55Speaker 4: Yeah. Was it Timmy the trumpet?
- 7:57Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 7:57Speaker 4: Is it Timmy the trumpet sitting the just trumpet and
- 7:59Speaker 4: stands just got a little call over there to the think.
- 8:02Speaker 7: The easiest thing in my head is just you two
- 8:04Speaker 7: on the sideline, like you just doing this and then
- 8:06Speaker 7: maybe Taylor doing like the something something.
- 8:10Speaker 8: If it's a tailor Ver's will game, it will be
- 8:12Speaker 8: even according to ty Simpson, Yeah.
- 8:15Speaker 3: We'll get into it a little bit. Jack, We'll get
- 8:17Speaker 3: into it a little bit.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Shout Ave Dudds that's the guy's name, and we'll get
- 8:23Speaker 4: him to Yeah.
- 8:26Speaker 3: If we we want to do a bust and boll thing,
- 8:27Speaker 3: would love for Kirk Kurbstreet his voiceover to just be
- 8:30Speaker 3: talking about the history, the pageantry that takes place with
- 8:33Speaker 3: the bust and bull, all of it.
- 8:34Speaker 4: Yeah, during the game, we got another callback here from
- 8:37Speaker 4: Dalton do week. This would have been great right after
- 8:40Speaker 4: the Delaney one. We had a couple of go but
- 8:42Speaker 4: need a Delaney house tour now after this episode laughing
- 8:45Speaker 4: cry face. We agree anything with Delaney.
- 8:48Speaker 5: We got to go out to his property, right, you have.
- 8:50Speaker 3: To MTV cribs type of situation with Delaney. Wouldn't mind
- 8:53Speaker 3: that one bit because I've seen a couple of the
- 8:55Speaker 3: people that did his house. It's in my algorithm a
- 8:58Speaker 3: couple of times.
- 8:59Speaker 4: The Barn Dominium. Barn Dominium a million views.
- 9:02Speaker 5: No, it doesn't close to it.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Are you talking about Delaney's right, Yeah, and a lot
- 9:06Speaker 4: of those on that the profile you're talking about the
- 9:08Speaker 4: Barn Dominium is sick.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a move. Yeah, it is kind of
- 9:12Speaker 3: a move. And I like what these kids are doing.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Though.
- 9:14Speaker 3: His house is like twenty three hundred square feet, but
- 9:16Speaker 3: his garage is like fifteen thousand square feet.
- 9:18Speaker 4: He's got to have a place for all those vehicles.
- 9:20Speaker 3: He has his priorities straight. Yeah, Delaney. I told the
- 9:22Speaker 3: story before on the podcast when I was playing with him.
- 9:25Speaker 3: You know how kids would have Pokemon books with the
- 9:27Speaker 3: little sleeves when you put your Pokemon cards. He would
- 9:30Speaker 3: have those for pink slips of how many cars he had.
- 9:32Speaker 3: So that's kind of l It was some of us
- 9:35Speaker 3: ripping packs. Now on Sundays at MPM Central time, others
- 9:38Speaker 3: are buying cars and using those using those sleeves. More
- 9:41Speaker 3: callbacks going, Jake, can you scroll past this one? We
- 9:43Speaker 3: get the I want there's another one? Okay, Ricky Sticky

- 9:51Speaker 4: That was a funny moment. It was nice. This was
- 9:52Speaker 4: a good moment.
- 9:53Speaker 3: There was one guy who made a comment about that
- 9:54Speaker 3: in the pre production meeting. Would he like to speak up?
- 9:56Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you guys made fun of me for
- 9:58Speaker 7: saying it a couple of years ago, but now Eli
- 9:59Speaker 7: Manning saying so, but you guys, you guys saying that's cool.
- 10:02Speaker 4: It's all context. We were hanging out late watching I
- 10:05Speaker 4: want to say, we were watching the hype speeches, like

- 10:24Speaker 3: the storming of the field happened.
- 10:25Speaker 5: I didn't think there was anything wrong with saying it.
- 10:28Speaker 7: Now watching montage talking like we were talking about movies
- 10:33Speaker 7: where we saw like our first pair of boobs and
- 10:34Speaker 7: I was like that, Hey, that movie had some bunch
- 10:36Speaker 7: of boobies in it.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to say you was talking about like
- 10:39Speaker 4: a booby montage. I don't know about that when you
- 10:42Speaker 4: said boobies. It just the way it landed in that
- 10:44Speaker 4: moment around the boys late at night, it just tickled
- 10:47Speaker 4: our stomach. Comedic timing, Yeah, your funny boy, Mitch. Yeah,

- 11:26Speaker 8: Good comments and for anyone just now tuning in as
- 11:30Speaker 8: a recent fan, I went seven hundred and twenty eight
- 11:32Speaker 8: days twitting a photo of rich Eisen in pursuit of
- 11:35Speaker 8: a Chevy Silverado. I unfortunately missed twenty three days. You
- 11:39Speaker 8: can go back listen to that stuff. There's a lot,
- 11:42Speaker 8: a lot of heartbreaking.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Again on the.
- 11:45Speaker 8: At least I got on TV with Richison. He still
- 11:47Speaker 8: doesn't follow me back on Twitter, but like that's for
- 11:49Speaker 8: another day.
- 11:50Speaker 3: That's rich though, man, that's just always he always played
- 11:52Speaker 3: forty chess on people.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Rich Eisen Show though, does follow me on Twitter, so
- 11:56Speaker 4: at least you know, it balances out going to be
- 11:58Speaker 4: a conversation had for Jack getting this truck? Am I
- 12:01Speaker 4: missing something here? But what? I don't know?
- 12:04Speaker 5: I just like I think.
- 12:08Speaker 4: Am I missing something? I don't know?
- 12:09Speaker 3: Jack? Do we want to pause a podcast? We can
- 12:10Speaker 3: go outside real quick?
- 12:11Speaker 4: Shut up? What what am I missing? Now? I'm missing?
- 12:16Speaker 4: Are you? Do? You want to go outside? And this
- 12:18Speaker 4: isn't a thing We're not This isn't a thing.
- 12:19Speaker 3: You're right, it's not a thing. Do you want to
- 12:22Speaker 3: make another bet? I mean sure, I'm gonna give it,
- 12:24Speaker 3: mood Man.
- 12:25Speaker 4: I'm gonna give it. Mood. I just saw Matt, he
- 12:27Speaker 4: can you give us what we're missing? Jack was on it.
- 12:31Speaker 3: He he figured out I was making a joke that
- 12:33Speaker 3: we can go outside because your truck's waiting out for you,
- 12:35Speaker 3: waiting for you out there.
- 12:36Speaker 4: But it's clear there's no truck out there. There is
- 12:38Speaker 4: no truck.
- 12:39Speaker 9: Get that, well, my truck's out there. I thought you
- 12:42Speaker 9: wanted to fight him outside. I was like, Jack.
- 12:48Speaker 8: Was the only one that was like, no, no, I
- 12:50Speaker 8: don't know what the bet would be. I do not
- 12:52Speaker 8: want it to be tweeting a photo every day. I
- 12:54Speaker 8: think that one's a little played out, a little watch.
- 12:56Speaker 8: And after two years you start hating Google image searches
- 12:59Speaker 8: and I'm just now getting back where I enjoy.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Search for photos. You're like Matt and Steak right now, Yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 4: exactly maybe maybe the comments. Yeah, to give us a good.
- 13:09Speaker 3: I'll tell you this. So just myself personally, I've been

- 16:26Speaker 4: escape room and then I got it private, so we
- 16:29Speaker 4: wouldn't do it with it because it's anywhere from two
- 16:31Speaker 4: to ten people in the room, and so Clumb was like, Yo,
- 16:34Speaker 4: we should just get over there right now. I'll get
- 16:36Speaker 4: an new broom. We'll hit the one o'clock one. We
- 16:38Speaker 4: do the escape room. That one was insane asylum scary,

- 16:44Speaker 4: couple of frights we got done. We also included in
- 16:47Speaker 4: our package that we bought unlimited arcade play. But the
- 16:50Speaker 4: arcade I will save subpar wasn't like the most fun.
- 16:53Speaker 4: There's like just a few games. That's a nice way
- 16:55Speaker 4: to put it. Subpar, And we got.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Done the conversation we had that night before about all

- 17:10Speaker 4: five games like around their nice little like bar area.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Clump and I were the only people in there. And
- 17:17Speaker 4: when we got done with one arcade game, I was like, yeah,
- 17:20Speaker 4: should we just do another escape room? Because it was
- 17:22Speaker 4: only what it was only two o'clock thirty in the hour. Yeah,
- 17:26Speaker 4: first one we bought it, and so we went back
- 17:28Speaker 4: up to the lady and I was like, hey, could
- 17:29Speaker 4: I trouble you? Could we just get in another escape room?
- 17:32Speaker 4: Could we just get another one right now? And She's like,
- 17:33Speaker 4: we'd be happy to. They had like five staff members
- 17:36Speaker 4: there and they were just catering to us. You choose, yeah,
- 17:39Speaker 4: because there's like casino heist, insane asylum, superhero superhero like
- 17:46Speaker 4: area five oh one, but it wasn't Zombie one. Yeah,
- 17:48Speaker 4: Zombie Apocalypse. We're like, which one would you guys recommend?
- 17:51Speaker 4: They said, the zombie apocalypse was a lot of fun.
- 17:53Speaker 4: So then we got into these zombie apocalypse and beat
- 17:56Speaker 4: that one escape. We were the only two in there
- 18:01Speaker 4: on a Friday afternoon, Friday, early after due. They were
- 18:05Speaker 4: so official.
- 18:05Speaker 6: They had like ear pieces like yeah, they're moving to
- 18:08Speaker 6: uh A Saint Asylum now and I'm like, oh, we like.
- 18:10Speaker 4: Getting the elevator go up. You got these long halways,
- 18:13Speaker 4: so the place were scary. The place was empty. But
- 18:15Speaker 4: did you have to buy ten spots to make it private? No? No, no,
- 18:18Speaker 4: you just buy per person. Yeah you can like check
- 18:20Speaker 4: a box like you know, play with others or private.
- 18:23Speaker 4: I thought you were like we had to buy out
- 18:24Speaker 4: the run. I was like, yeah, no, they're probably over
- 18:26Speaker 4: the moon.
- 18:27Speaker 3: What is the average amount of time and takes to
- 18:29Speaker 3: get out of one of these escape rooms?
- 18:30Speaker 4: Sixty minutes or they give you sixty or ninety. I
- 18:32Speaker 4: want to say, there's like two slots. Do people how
- 18:35Speaker 4: fast did you did you guys do sixteen minutes or
- 18:36Speaker 4: ninety minutes? We did sixty? And how fast you did
- 18:38Speaker 4: have did you just have time to sparew like.
- 18:40Speaker 6: Fifty four or fifty six minutes? The first one we
- 18:42Speaker 6: had four minutes.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Left, Yes, Indiana Jones that thing, huh. And then they
- 18:45Speaker 4: got the right before the wall. Yeah, second one was.
- 18:48Speaker 4: I thought the first one we had like over ten
- 18:50Speaker 4: minutes left. No, I think it was four. Either way,
- 18:53Speaker 4: it was. And they kind of give you hints along
- 18:55Speaker 4: the way, like we're in there and we're kind of
- 18:56Speaker 4: like stuck you no, like somebody will come over the
- 18:58Speaker 4: intercom and not like tell us what to do, but
- 19:01Speaker 4: they like give you a hind to.
- 19:04Speaker 6: It's like, it's crazy that you picked up that medicine
- 19:07Speaker 6: bottle and didn't read the name on it.
- 19:09Speaker 4: It's like, but I will say when you got the
- 19:11Speaker 4: medicine bottles and put them in the electric chair, I
- 19:13Speaker 4: was like, oh was I was? That was? Yeah? That was?
- 19:17Speaker 3: That was. You just say the movie you made was genius?
- 19:20Speaker 5: No, it was.
- 19:20Speaker 4: It was. He had a couple of genius movies. So
- 19:23Speaker 4: like there was the electric chair.
- 19:24Speaker 6: I took the medicine bottles and put it in like
- 19:26Speaker 6: someone was strapped in it, and then it went off
- 19:28Speaker 6: like someone was in it worked.
- 19:29Speaker 4: That's one he can shout out himself like it.
- 19:31Speaker 5: Was, Yeah, he had a brilliant It was the m
- 19:33Speaker 5: v P between you two.
- 19:34Speaker 4: I would say clump as a team effort. Man, you
- 19:37Speaker 4: know I always put that's MVP. Yeah.
- 19:42Speaker 6: It was so much fun, like Zombie and the Zombie one,
- 19:47Speaker 6: like using the little thing to pick up the keys.
- 19:48Speaker 6: You were great at the hooks.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. Yeah. But as far as like especially in
- 19:52Speaker 4: the insane asylum, when we had to get to the
- 19:54Speaker 4: next room or figure out like a big breakthrough, I
- 19:57Speaker 4: feel like that was it was clump.
- 19:59Speaker 5: It'd be fun for all us.
- 20:00Speaker 4: We got to do a team building. They got seven
- 20:02Speaker 4: one around. Yeah. I wonder if they have big ones
- 20:05Speaker 4: where you could do like twenty plus people and yeah,
- 20:07Speaker 4: how big was the building? You guys? It was huge,
- 20:09Speaker 4: like big building. But all the rooms are kind of
- 20:11Speaker 4: like tight, like you start in like a what is
- 20:13Speaker 4: it like a straight jacket room in the insane asylum.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Then you got to make it to the next room
- 20:17Speaker 4: where it's like medicine. There's a bed there that's ran down.
- 20:22Speaker 4: Then they have a third room. But it's it's fun.
- 20:25Speaker 4: We definitely need to do some teams very well. It's cool,
- 20:27Speaker 4: like everything was it was fun. I did one here
- 20:29Speaker 4: I forget which one it was in Nashville, but when
- 20:31Speaker 4: we were on the Titans, like the linebackers didn't.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Yeah, remember y'all did something like that? That is yeah,
- 20:36Speaker 3: I'm down. It sounds like a clean take. I would
- 20:38Speaker 3: love to coast on the clean take, but I want't
- 20:40Speaker 3: disrespect the clean take by not by saying yes. But
- 20:42Speaker 3: then I haven't done it yet. I need to go
- 20:43Speaker 3: do one.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Yeah. It's like all of us like solving problems, solving mysteries, riddles.
- 20:49Speaker 5: I have clean micro macro.
- 20:51Speaker 4: Yeah, micro macro, I have clean take.
- 20:54Speaker 3: If you are about to gamble and somebody's like, this
- 20:57Speaker 3: is my lucky rock, I've never lost with it, you
- 21:00Speaker 3: accept the Rock Boys clean take, clean take, a clean take. Now,
- 21:06Speaker 3: while these gentlemen were doing escape games incredible time and
- 21:09Speaker 3: going to exclusive dinners, the three of us in the
- 21:11Speaker 3: back here, Jackie, Jared and myself, we went to Vegas.
- 21:14Speaker 3: We caught ourselves in a nice little Southwest flight. Right
- 21:16Speaker 3: after the McVeigh interview, we go we lamb. Here's where
- 21:21Speaker 3: the fear kind of sets in for me, because a
- 21:22Speaker 3: lot of times in the power Slap or you know,
- 21:24Speaker 3: anytime we're in Vegas, clearly we're going to gamble, and
- 21:27Speaker 3: sometimes it takes twenty minutes. Sometimes it takes one minute.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Sometimes it takes eight hours to achieve the goal we
- 21:34Speaker 3: want to achieve, which is beating the casino in gambling.
- 21:36Speaker 3: We know that we have to get back for the
- 21:38Speaker 3: rookie premiere that starts at seven am the next day,
- 21:41Speaker 3: so we have a flight that is booked for us
- 21:42Speaker 3: at twelve thirty pm or twelve thirty am. We get there,
- 21:47Speaker 3: We Jack and I make a aggressive game plan.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Jack. The game plan was hit the.
- 21:53Speaker 8: Weight room, get a little sweat in sauna, cold tub,
- 21:57Speaker 8: quick dinner, immediately to power slap.
- 22:00Speaker 3: And we had about two hours, about two hours to
- 22:02Speaker 3: get that done. We said our timers for forty five minutes,
- 22:04Speaker 3: got myself my own two cardi owner and a fifteen
- 22:06Speaker 3: minute hard workout. Didn't stop one bit. Jack didn't either
- 22:09Speaker 3: go upstairs immediately sauna, get in the cold tub, dinners
- 22:12Speaker 3: with Jared, Jared, Jared sure that no one robbed the room.
- 22:17Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe, to receive the food that we to make
- 22:21Speaker 4: sure the food got the andation.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Jared was begging us, let me come with let me
- 22:26Speaker 3: come with him. I dude, you drew the short stick.
- 22:28Speaker 3: You can't come with us.
- 22:29Speaker 4: So Jared took one for the team. Clean take Jared
- 22:32Speaker 4: Beeman Team got.
- 22:36Speaker 9: I said, I'll sit here. Yeah, I just laid on
- 22:38Speaker 9: the couch for an hour during this whatever.
- 22:41Speaker 4: So we go to.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Power Slab boys are hanging out a little bit. Wouldn't
- 22:43Speaker 3: you know what the goat is there? Travis Pastrana look
- 22:47Speaker 3: at him from a distance, Jack, Jack and I made
- 22:48Speaker 3: a little video of us watching his double backflip that
- 22:51Speaker 3: pans right to him, and it's like, dude, this guy
- 22:54Speaker 3: was so instrumental in my and my development as a
- 22:56Speaker 3: young child. Go up to him, shake his hand. Hey,
- 23:00Speaker 3: I want nothing from you other than just you to
- 23:02Speaker 3: know that I fucking love you and everything you did
- 23:04Speaker 3: for me. That you don't even know what you did,
- 23:06Speaker 3: you know, he told me, Hey man, thanks could not
- 23:08Speaker 3: give two shits about me telling him how much I
- 23:12Speaker 3: love him.
- 23:12Speaker 4: Now. Do I think that in disrespect? No?
- 23:14Speaker 3: I think that is My Goat's probably tired for being
- 23:17Speaker 3: loved one all day, every day for his whole entire life,
- 23:20Speaker 3: and for that I just kind of bagged up and
- 23:22Speaker 3: I was like, Yo, you're the man.
- 23:23Speaker 4: We'll see you later.
- 23:24Speaker 8: A very professional interaction by you. You kept a minimal
- 23:27Speaker 8: You said what you needed to say, and then you
- 23:30Speaker 8: let him be.
- 23:30Speaker 3: You know what, keep moving, and that is that is
- 23:33Speaker 3: that was a learned trait because at one point I'm
- 23:35Speaker 3: at UFC with my boy Willie Johnny Knoxville sitting right
- 23:38Speaker 3: in front of me, and I missed the opportunity to
- 23:40Speaker 3: even say hello to him because I felt uncomfortable. There
- 23:43Speaker 3: was a piece of me that's like I kind of
- 23:44Speaker 3: want to be boys with him, but I don't know
- 23:45Speaker 3: what to say this whole thing. He's with his girlfriend
- 23:47Speaker 3: whoever it is, So I'll never let that happen again.
- 23:50Speaker 3: So shout out Travis Pastrana. He was incredible. We see
- 23:53Speaker 3: this guy who is like, I got two hundred dollars
- 23:57Speaker 3: to my name, I would I come here. His goal
- 23:59Speaker 3: in life is to be power Slap champion one day.
- 24:02Speaker 3: That's a big goal, massive goal, to be the champion
- 24:04Speaker 3: of the world. Of course, He's like, I would love
- 24:07Speaker 3: to do a hand with you gambling and I was like, yeah, dude,
- 24:10Speaker 3: we'll be at the after party, like right before we
- 24:12Speaker 3: start to gamble with Dana, Like we can do a
- 24:13Speaker 3: hand with you, no problem. Power Slap finishes. I go
- 24:16Speaker 3: up to Tray Dani's boy, I'm like, hey, do you
- 24:18Speaker 3: min if we're just come in the back with you
- 24:19Speaker 3: and then.
- 24:19Speaker 4: We'll roll down.
- 24:20Speaker 3: He's like, it's at park MGM. So now we're kind
- 24:22Speaker 3: of scrambling. We had to get to this other casino.
- 24:25Speaker 3: I'm a little nervous. I know I'm playing in a
- 24:26Speaker 3: win game, but now it's like a double away game.
- 24:28Speaker 3: My I'm just not in my my I'm on in
- 24:30Speaker 3: the good headspace for it. We get there first guy.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Once we get in the room, who's standing there, the
- 24:35Speaker 3: guy who wants to be Power Slap Champion and he's
- 24:37Speaker 3: just holding his two hundred dollars smiling, hoping to God
- 24:40Speaker 3: we can bless his night. Get the credit line set up.
- 24:43Speaker 3: We sit down. I'm like, hey, you want to do
- 24:45Speaker 3: all of it at once. You want to do a
- 24:47Speaker 3: little half and half And he's like, we'll just we'll
- 24:49Speaker 3: do half in half. I put down two thousand dollars.
- 24:53Speaker 3: He puts down his one hundred dollars. The player, Oh
- 24:56Speaker 3: wait wait wait we bet player correct correct, we we
- 24:59Speaker 3: bet play. Baker gets a natural eight. So I'm like,
- 25:03Speaker 3: we are we're done, We're cooked. We get natural nine.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Slap it down, give the guy the to my two
- 25:09Speaker 3: thousand dollars, and his hundred dollars back. Hey, congratulations, shake
- 25:12Speaker 3: his hand. He is, I mean welting up with tears.
- 25:14Speaker 8: Essentially, I will say we knew exactly the character he
- 25:17Speaker 8: demonstrated because he had a boy with him and he
- 25:19Speaker 8: got he thought he was gonna get, you know, maybe
- 25:22Speaker 8: five hundred bucks from Taylor. He gets two grand and
- 25:25Speaker 8: and his boy goes, yo, let me get some of
- 25:27Speaker 8: that like a joking, and without even flinching, this guy
- 25:30Speaker 8: takes half of his winnings and doesn't even look at
- 25:32Speaker 8: his boy and hands him a thousand dollars chip. That guy,
- 25:35Speaker 8: good friend.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Good friend, guy guy, I say his words, took half
- 25:39Speaker 3: of his net worth and handed it to his boy.
- 25:42Speaker 3: So we're hanging out, uh by the way, shout out
- 25:45Speaker 3: park MGM. They're set up. They have with all the
- 25:48Speaker 3: cameras and everything they have. This miss vickis boys in
- 25:52Speaker 3: the Bronx, but Vinnie, it had to be Vinnie from
- 25:56Speaker 3: the Backs. I feel like we disrespect him because it's
- 25:58Speaker 3: not really Vinnie, but it was Vinnie from the Bronx.
- 26:00Speaker 4: Dude.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Regardless, good crew. Nonetheless, we know we have a crunch time.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Dana pulls up. The first thing we do, we rip
- 26:07Speaker 3: a rolex with Dana on the courtyard app Shout out courtyard,
- 26:10Speaker 3: Shout out courtyard. If someone was there, that was awesome.
- 26:13Speaker 3: And then and then the game begins the line that's
- 26:15Speaker 3: packed room, lucky rock. Oh my god, you're right, thank
- 26:18Speaker 3: you Jared.
- 26:19Speaker 4: Right.
- 26:19Speaker 3: So, after we play with that guy, some dude comes
- 26:22Speaker 3: up to me and he's like, hey, I want you
- 26:24Speaker 3: to know, like, this is my lucky rock. Every time
- 26:26Speaker 3: I've ever gambled with this rock, I've never lost. And
- 26:29Speaker 3: he hands me the rock and I want you to
- 26:30Speaker 3: have this rock and I say thank you to his face. Internally,
- 26:34Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I'm incredibly superstitious, thinking to myself,
- 26:37Speaker 3: if you've never lost with this rock, how you not
- 26:39Speaker 3: the greatest gambler of all time? How you're not gambling
- 26:41Speaker 3: every single day? I'm about to get fucked.
- 26:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Yes, because you just some sort of juju is about
- 26:47Speaker 3: to take place. And I was kind of pissed about
- 26:49Speaker 3: it when it first happened. Hands me the rock, cool rock.
- 26:52Speaker 3: He was not happy to give you the rock. It
- 26:54Speaker 3: seemed like God told him he needed to give you
- 26:56Speaker 3: this rock. It was that vibe where he did it
- 26:58Speaker 3: did it was like like spiritual, allright, thing like it
- 27:01Speaker 3: was its final landing place, right. So we start, we
- 27:06Speaker 3: start to play with Dana and we sit down. First
- 27:09Speaker 3: one we go banker player has what a six? Danna
- 27:13Speaker 3: throws down and naturally we win. The next one goes
- 27:18Speaker 3: the dealer has two, or the dealer at zero.
- 27:21Speaker 4: We have two.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Dealer flips over another face card. We plip over a
- 27:24Speaker 3: face card. We win again, and then we do one
- 27:28Speaker 3: more hand and we won that hand as well. We
- 27:31Speaker 3: won three hands in a row, the fastest we've ever won,
- 27:35Speaker 3: and it was because of this rock dude.
- 27:37Speaker 4: In and out.
- 27:37Speaker 3: We're to a point where we're stressed about making a
- 27:39Speaker 3: twelve thirty flight. It's like what ten o'clock now, yeah,
- 27:43Speaker 3: and it's like, okay, let's go to the airport.
- 27:45Speaker 4: That's the end of the game. That's the cleanest operation
- 27:47Speaker 4: you could have been, the.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Cleanest operation you could possibly have, No hiccups, no nothing.
- 27:51Speaker 3: We're celebrating. Dana's taking chips. He's just throwing them out
- 27:53Speaker 3: there like they're small little shekels. People are grasping at
- 27:56Speaker 3: them and grabbing them. And Vinie from the Bronx I
- 27:59Speaker 3: asked video, hey, do you mind if we get a
- 28:00Speaker 3: ride to the airport, we're going to get out of here.
- 28:02Speaker 3: And he's like, oh, yeah, no problem. We get a
- 28:05Speaker 3: victory drink for the boys in the back there as
- 28:07Speaker 3: you had the victory drink, he's like, hey, you might
- 28:09Speaker 3: have got a text that you're you're rights here. So
- 28:11Speaker 3: I look at my phone. It says your Rules Royce
- 28:13Speaker 3: Phantom is ready for you. We're like, oh, ship, we got.
- 28:17Speaker 4: A Rules Royce demon in that room.
- 28:20Speaker 3: But I meant boy hit him up a little jog
- 28:26Speaker 3: to the car, didn't he?
- 28:27Speaker 10: So we hit that dude.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Yeah, we had some photos of Demon in there, and
- 28:31Speaker 3: we're in this this Fantom going down the strip as
- 28:34Speaker 3: like we can see like Paris and Cosmo, Aria all
- 28:38Speaker 3: the stuff. As we're driving down the strip in a
- 28:40Speaker 3: Rolls Royce with all the all the stars, thinking it was.
- 28:43Speaker 8: Unfortunate how close the airport was. Yeah, I would be
- 28:46Speaker 8: long and we kind of want to take a.
- 28:48Speaker 4: Little bit longer.
- 28:50Speaker 3: That new drink albums out, you know, always bumping that
- 28:54Speaker 3: a little bit too and on the car right in.
- 28:55Speaker 4: But dude, it was awesome.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Get back around what one o'clock, boys to La correct Jared,
- 29:00Speaker 3: we're not going to talk about how Jared felt about
- 29:02Speaker 3: the private plane we got to fly on.
- 29:03Speaker 4: I think it needs to be discussed.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Then, you know what Jack all that you paint the
- 29:07Speaker 3: picture on private plane the private jet back from.
- 29:12Speaker 4: Yeah, demon had some negative energy.
- 29:15Speaker 8: So again, as Taylor just described perfectly, it couldn't have
- 29:18Speaker 8: been a better gambling situation. We take a rolls Royce
- 29:21Speaker 8: Stantom to our private jet to fly back to La
- 29:24Speaker 8: to Madden picks with the new draft picks. I mean
- 29:27Speaker 8: it's a dream scenario and we're in the air. Nothing
- 29:30Speaker 8: could be rooting the vibe. We're drinking on the plane.
- 29:32Speaker 8: Boys are smiling, boys are laughing. Jared starts kind of
- 29:36Speaker 8: motherfucking the plane saying it's too hot in here.
- 29:42Speaker 4: I'm gonna let Jared have let him go. Jared speak
- 29:47Speaker 4: for yourself.
- 29:50Speaker 5: I safe to say he was being energy vampire.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Yeah, Noah, I think there's a standard.
- 29:57Speaker 9: It was hot. It was a sauna. We were all wedding.
- 30:00Speaker 9: I said, are you guys sweating? And Taylor said, there's
- 30:02Speaker 9: some beads of sweat on my forehead.
- 30:04Speaker 4: Was probably thinking it's the price of pay for I
- 30:08Speaker 4: go to the bath, like.
- 30:09Speaker 3: They'll all be minorly uncomfortable on a private jet for
- 30:12Speaker 3: a forty five minute flight. That sounds okay, I will too.
- 30:15Speaker 9: It was fine. It was more it was just cracking jokes.
- 30:18Speaker 9: But the bathroom like it's falling apart, like the cloth
- 30:22Speaker 9: of Like did you see the door was broken to
- 30:24Speaker 9: go to the bell? It was it was a.
- 30:26Speaker 4: I don't remember. I went in the bathroom. It was
- 30:28Speaker 4: a pretty nice bathroom. The chairs went all the way
- 30:30Speaker 4: down to there's not a whole lot.
- 30:33Speaker 8: Jared also, while complaining is laying completely flat on a
- 30:37Speaker 8: couch on a private jet, and it was like, this
- 30:39Speaker 8: is bullshit.
- 30:40Speaker 9: With the drink from drink, the drink that I took
- 30:44Speaker 9: from the casino, remember, I was like, I said, you
- 30:45Speaker 9: want this glass back and that you can keep it.
- 30:47Speaker 4: I was like eh, And.
- 30:49Speaker 3: The glass was like a really nice glass. It's at
- 30:51Speaker 3: my house now. It's my lucky glass. Gotta be a
- 30:53Speaker 3: lucky glass. By the way, the rock. We gave the
- 30:55Speaker 3: rock back to the guy. He seemed like he didn't
- 30:57Speaker 3: want the rock.
- 30:57Speaker 4: He didn't want you to give it back. He was like, no,
- 30:59Speaker 4: you need to keep this, and I was like.
- 31:01Speaker 3: No, no, this is your rock. You have to have it.
- 31:03Speaker 3: You have to have. It was fine, so Jared, Jared
- 31:06Speaker 3: bitchy complained. We had a great drive back to just
- 31:09Speaker 3: I Think Big Time. Last went through old dms of
- 31:12Speaker 3: what I've sent to Jack and Jared. We were really
- 31:14Speaker 3: kind of defined, like who responds to me? More like
- 31:16Speaker 3: who who do we have more of a relationship with
- 31:17Speaker 3: on social media? Clearly Jack ran away with it.
- 31:20Speaker 8: Well at first, Taylor's kind of dogging me. He's like, dude,
- 31:22Speaker 8: Jack never responds. And then I went to Jared Zams
- 31:25Speaker 8: and it's literally Taylor forty messages in a row, and
- 31:28Speaker 8: all there is is like the occasional emoji response from
- 31:31Speaker 8: Taylor and.
- 31:32Speaker 4: I ship was so funny, bro.
- 31:35Speaker 8: I pulled up mine and it's like, I'm I'm putting
- 31:37Speaker 8: working in DS, I'm sitting in funny videos and all
- 31:40Speaker 8: of a sudden, the narratives starts changing and we start
- 31:42Speaker 8: ganging up on Jared. You know, the Plaine scenario is
- 31:45Speaker 8: still in full effects.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Yeah, Jared took hart L just getting cranky. Yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 9: I go to the hotel, I ordered by one, get
- 31:53Speaker 9: one pizza for myself and I just knock out with
- 31:58Speaker 9: two pizzas.
- 32:00Speaker 3: As soon as we landed, I sprinted to my real.
- 32:02Speaker 3: How fast can I get to bed? I said, how
- 32:04Speaker 3: fast can I get a pizza in my stomach? I
- 32:06Speaker 3: knew the next day was going to be a monster.
- 32:08Speaker 3: I had no idea what to expect. I had no
- 32:10Speaker 3: idea about that next day.
- 32:11Speaker 4: Bro, I hate to complain. Right now, let's go. Can

- 35:13Speaker 3: It's something like when things are going so well and

- 35:18Speaker 3: to point out something bad, to be like, hey, guys,
- 35:19Speaker 3: it could be better.

- 36:23Speaker 3: feeling something and a couple of the massage shapers like,

- 36:27Speaker 3: don't have to right now, It's all good.
- 36:28Speaker 4: But they were. They were ready to work. Yeah, they
- 36:30Speaker 4: were ready to get some working, no doubt about it.
- 36:33Speaker 4: And it was fun just hanging out with the rookies. Yeah.
- 36:35Speaker 4: I had about what five or six minutes with each one. Yeah,
- 36:38Speaker 4: there's like forty something of them, forty.
- 36:40Speaker 6: One to get each stop. Maybe they're like, EA, sports
- 36:43Speaker 6: stuff first and then right and fun with them.
- 36:46Speaker 4: It was. It was awesome.
- 36:47Speaker 3: And right before these rookies came up, we're tossing the
- 36:51Speaker 3: ball around clearly as a football field. Guys are having fun,
- 36:54Speaker 3: and there's these three young casts from what uh, Loyola
- 36:57Speaker 3: High schoolery.
- 36:58Speaker 4: They were hungry, not college. I thought it was a
- 37:00Speaker 4: yeah high school.
- 37:01Speaker 3: The kids are sixteen, Yeah, the kids were sixteen.
- 37:03Speaker 4: We saw these kids.
- 37:04Speaker 3: You could tell their dad or somebody brought them to
- 37:06Speaker 3: put in work that day. But they're eyeing us up
- 37:09Speaker 3: as we're playing a little catch, and we decided getting
- 37:11Speaker 3: one on one with these guys. Com played my center,
- 37:13Speaker 3: got out of there, got a couple of good snaps,
- 37:15Speaker 3: and we're like, who's our best Who's gonna be our
- 37:18Speaker 3: best receiver to go against one of these kids? And
- 37:20Speaker 3: the guy had to be Jared Demon. Willie, Yeah, Jared
- 37:23Speaker 3: Demon for sure, like once he once he walked up
- 37:25Speaker 3: there these cats and they're they're salivating these three little
- 37:29Speaker 3: private school kids. They had so much confidence.
- 37:32Speaker 4: They were like, what his boy, what does boys say
- 37:34Speaker 4: about the corner? Buddy?
- 37:35Speaker 8: They're about to line up and he goes, So the
- 37:37Speaker 8: Earth's covered seventy five percent water and he goes and
- 37:39Speaker 8: my boy over here covers the other twenty five percent.
- 37:42Speaker 4: So we're getting the moment, we're getting it hyped up,
- 37:45Speaker 4: and we're like, Jered, come on, you gotta go, you
- 37:46Speaker 4: gotta go. And I'm start recording on like, Jared, go
- 37:48Speaker 4: hit a seven round on him. He's like, what is
- 37:51Speaker 4: a seventh route? I'm like, a seven route, hit hit
- 37:53Speaker 4: the corner on him. I don't know what that is.
- 37:55Speaker 4: It's a we're getting everything going. I'm trying to give demon.
- 37:59Speaker 4: I'm thinking of my head. We could probably get him
- 38:01Speaker 4: coached up enough to have some type of a competitive route.
- 38:05Speaker 4: And so I'm like, here's what you're gonna do. You're
- 38:06Speaker 4: gonna go. You want to try and he's gonna try
- 38:09Speaker 4: and press you like this dude's gonna try and own you.
- 38:11Speaker 4: At the line of scrimmage. You want to swipe his hands,
- 38:13Speaker 4: Just swipe his hands. He's like, so, just so, just
- 38:15Speaker 4: do this, And I'm like, exactly, just do that, and
- 38:17Speaker 4: once you get about anywhere in between, you'll it's kind
- 38:20Speaker 4: of an instinct to feel like if you're able to
- 38:21Speaker 4: stack him or kind of get up shoulder on him.
- 38:24Speaker 4: But once you hit anywhere around I can just buy
- 38:26Speaker 4: the story. I can hear how it went wrong. Already
- 38:28Speaker 4: around seven yards, you're gonna stutter, like you're gonna make
- 38:32Speaker 4: a move, so that way he starts to break down.
- 38:35Speaker 4: But once you stutter a little bit, then take off
- 38:37Speaker 4: again just to go route, simple, go route, And he's like,
- 38:40Speaker 4: so once I get around seven, I'll just just break down.
- 38:42Speaker 4: And then I'm like and then just take off again
- 38:44Speaker 4: and keep going and Taylor's gonna dot you. He's like,
- 38:47Speaker 4: all right, then I saw him line up like this
- 38:49Speaker 4: out the way, we're gonna have destroyed learned. I think
- 38:53Speaker 4: it's either earlier that morning, the day before, what a
- 38:55Speaker 4: three point stance was, so I think going for a
- 38:58Speaker 4: three point stance off the line I was, and this
- 39:01Speaker 4: dude just ate him up. I like, Jared, and I
- 39:04Speaker 4: know you're not athletica. I know, I know. I say
- 39:09Speaker 4: that with nothing but love, but seeing your release and
- 39:12Speaker 4: how he just kind of pushed you the way really
- 39:14Speaker 4: just to the entire round, like as you go and
- 39:16Speaker 4: you kind of just you kind of like do this
- 39:18Speaker 4: and just run. You're gonna lose every time. Like you're
- 39:23Speaker 4: not even taking off, You're just giving him your chest. Yeah.
- 39:26Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't have an argument because it's like, yeah,
- 39:29Speaker 9: from the beginning, jar, I got an argument.
- 39:31Speaker 4: I don't eve want to do it.
- 39:32Speaker 3: I have an argument for you. Watch this clip, dude,
- 39:34Speaker 3: he's got contact with you post five yards.
- 39:36Speaker 4: That's a penalty. We're moving the ball up.
- 39:38Speaker 9: This isn't something that's like, well, I'm going to go
- 39:41Speaker 9: off sides as I look at it, and Jared probably
- 39:43Speaker 9: should have started gave yourself and they celebrated on your candy,
- 39:46Speaker 9: which is where they which is where like they had
- 39:48Speaker 9: a w until they celebrate like that.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I don't know that that's that's like the culture of
- 39:52Speaker 4: the one on one though.
- 39:53Speaker 7: And also like you think you just bodied a busting
- 39:55Speaker 7: with the boys producer like that's.
- 39:56Speaker 4: Yeah, like they caught him off h they need to
- 40:00Speaker 4: watch him take. But I'm not the guy that you
- 40:02Speaker 4: didn't win.
- 40:05Speaker 3: But the crew dude, I mean you can tell everybody there.
- 40:07Speaker 3: Everybody there was working having fun. Everyone was just like
- 40:10Speaker 3: strictly working. We came in, We brought a little little
- 40:13Speaker 3: spice to the morning. Yeah, we had we had some fun.
- 40:15Speaker 3: People started loosening up a little bit. One guy was
- 40:17Speaker 3: having none of it. But also respect to that guy
- 40:20Speaker 3: for being a professional. You had to have that when
- 40:22Speaker 3: you got guys like us s ripping around, who are
- 40:24Speaker 3: going to toe the line push the envelope a little bit.
- 40:26Speaker 3: This guy was keeping everybody within the within the lanes.
- 40:28Speaker 3: He put the bumpers on for us bowling, so he lose.
- 40:32Speaker 3: You know, everyone had a good time. We end up
- 40:33Speaker 3: crushing it and dude, forty one dudes eight minutes apiece
- 40:39Speaker 3: for fucking from eight am to when we get done
- 40:42Speaker 3: four thirty.
- 40:43Speaker 5: You went over.
- 40:44Speaker 4: It was forty one dudes to back to back gat Yeah, nice, callback,
- 40:55Speaker 4: that's good.
- 40:56Speaker 3: These kids were awesome. All of them were great, like
- 40:58Speaker 3: unique personalities ever a little different. It takes like a
- 41:01Speaker 3: minute or so to kind of like figure, Okay, what
- 41:03Speaker 3: angle do we want to go with these kids, Like
- 41:04Speaker 3: are they like super open about to have fun? Like
- 41:07Speaker 3: we had a we had a bills guy and I
- 41:09Speaker 3: spent the first three minutes I was doing these nuts
- 41:12Speaker 3: jokes on him, and I told him, I was like, hey,
- 41:14Speaker 3: I'm not here to get you like I could get
- 41:15Speaker 3: you all these times. However, I'm trying to train you
- 41:18Speaker 3: for Josh Allen. Like your first conversation is going to
- 41:20Speaker 3: be about x's and o's. Your conversation is going to
- 41:23Speaker 3: be about, Hey, what are you vampire? Sleeping room four?
- 41:25Speaker 3: All these things, who's the girl that used to sit
- 41:27Speaker 3: across from in the office. He's gonna hit you with
- 41:29Speaker 3: all those things? Keep your head in a fucking swivel.
- 41:31Speaker 3: All right, that's what this game is about. Yeah, so
- 41:33Speaker 3: I'm just trying to give these guys a little bit
- 41:34Speaker 3: of game here and there.
- 41:35Speaker 4: I feel that we prepared a lot of them too,
- 41:37Speaker 4: Like when we walked the tight end with the Rams. Yeah,
- 41:39Speaker 4: it's a predicting their record this year media team meeting, right.
- 41:45Speaker 3: But you also gave him an opportunity to predict again
- 41:48Speaker 3: and he fell back, And it's like, that's how coach
- 41:50Speaker 3: are We hit a game too.
- 41:52Speaker 4: I think the.
- 41:52Speaker 3: Last like probably ten or fifteen guys the reveal, we
- 41:56Speaker 3: did the same every single time, and I told them that,
- 41:58Speaker 3: like this is the the h Coachability is an attribute
- 42:02Speaker 3: on Madden. You can lose three points right now by
- 42:05Speaker 3: not doing this exactly you're supposed to do.
- 42:06Speaker 4: Taylor really fine tuned. They were taking it serious seriously.
- 42:11Speaker 4: They were not wanting to message.
- 42:12Speaker 3: And I'm like, you will start as soon as I'm
- 42:14Speaker 3: done talking, and I would go through the entire thing.
- 42:16Speaker 3: You're gonna stand up, you're gona face the lady in
- 42:18Speaker 3: the chair, You're gonna cover your eyes with both hands.
- 42:20Speaker 3: You're gonna hear me say we go hit it once
- 42:22Speaker 3: we once you hear that, I'm gonna say turn around.
- 42:24Speaker 3: You're gonna keep your eyes covered when you're turned around.
- 42:26Speaker 3: And when I say you can look, you can look
- 42:28Speaker 3: and reveal. We have cameras in here and technology to
- 42:30Speaker 3: see if you're peaking. If you cheat this in any way,
- 42:33Speaker 3: if you're wrong in any way, you'll lose three points.
- 42:35Speaker 3: And they and then a couple of guys are like,
- 42:38Speaker 3: all right, joke.
- 42:42Speaker 4: Not one guy. I said, no clue. They're in the tact.
- 42:46Speaker 4: They're trying, and we got I got real serious with them.
- 42:49Speaker 3: They they some guys. I stood up immediately turned faced her,
- 42:52Speaker 3: looked at her eyes like like robotic, Like this is
- 42:54Speaker 3: how coachable I am. A couple of guys rocked it.
- 42:57Speaker 3: A couple of guys didn't mess up. A couple guys
- 42:59Speaker 3: did mess up. We told him, hey, we do a
- 43:01Speaker 3: bad question. I'm not even gonna ask it. Okay, Is
- 43:05Speaker 3: coachability an attribute?
- 43:06Speaker 4: No?
- 43:06Speaker 3: No, no, no, yeah yeah. But they didn't know that. They
- 43:10Speaker 3: didn't know that some of these coaches are gonna go
- 43:12Speaker 3: watch that.
- 43:12Speaker 4: And I'm like, I don't think you.
- 43:14Speaker 6: Had a good wrinkle to that too. When the guys
- 43:16Speaker 6: would own it. But they're standing there and you're like, okay,
- 43:18Speaker 6: you can sit down now.
- 43:21Speaker 3: They would look and be like okay, so whatever whatever
- 43:23Speaker 3: number they were, and all right, all right. They start
- 43:25Speaker 3: talking to me, but I'm like sitting in that little
- 43:27Speaker 3: chair and they're like talking. I'm like, can you I
- 43:29Speaker 3: feel like pray right now? Can you like sit down
- 43:32Speaker 3: and allow me?
- 43:33Speaker 4: Dude?
- 43:33Speaker 3: We had Sonny styles and how he was. I tell
- 43:38Speaker 3: you what, my intro was not great. I feel like
- 43:41Speaker 3: immediate walls went up when I gave my my written
- 43:43Speaker 3: present and I was like, have you talk to any
- 43:45Speaker 3: of your college teammates?
- 43:46Speaker 4: He's like, no, I haven't. I go good, I got
- 43:47Speaker 4: you a.
- 43:48Speaker 3: Gift and we just stared at each other for a
- 43:51Speaker 3: good minute.
- 43:51Speaker 8: I think every single House State player that you slipped
- 43:54Speaker 8: them the paper. Taylor did a bit where he's slipping
- 43:56Speaker 8: a go Blue sign thing, and not one time. I
- 43:59Speaker 8: think that it land with these guys. But they also
- 44:02Speaker 8: had such an issue they couldn't They didn't fold.
- 44:05Speaker 4: They would because there was.
- 44:11Speaker 8: Much they would never unfold it completely because there was
- 44:14Speaker 8: a printed out copy paper on it, and they think
- 44:16Speaker 8: they're reading what it's printed on it, but it's just
- 44:18Speaker 8: Taylor's signature and sharpie on the final unfold of the paper,
- 44:22Speaker 8: and then as soon as they finally do it, they're like, all.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Right, and got mine? I got mine? Did not? We
- 44:29Speaker 4: had the same record, And then you would do because
- 44:31Speaker 4: one of them, one of them who was it that
- 44:32Speaker 4: wadded it up? Car was the one that wanted up.
- 44:37Speaker 4: Change about the audio is tough on that one, but
- 44:39Speaker 4: r Bell was probably the best one about it. He
- 44:41Speaker 4: was like, at worry about that no more. You don't
- 44:44Speaker 4: have to worry about Caleb Downs when he comes in here. Yeah,
- 44:47Speaker 4: Caleb Downs is where it started to go south. I
- 44:50Speaker 4: don't know if he was doing a bit, if he
- 44:51Speaker 4: was dead. Seriously, I'll tell you what. He just stood
- 44:53Speaker 4: there looking like what are you doing?
- 44:54Speaker 3: When he when he was bodying me, when we were
- 44:56Speaker 3: just eyes locked, and he like eventually he broke he
- 44:59Speaker 3: goes you doing the will? Yeah, I thought to myself,
- 45:02Speaker 3: this kid's going to be so successful. He just he
- 45:05Speaker 3: took that and whatever it is like that just made
- 45:07Speaker 3: him more motivated for the next day. I fucking in
- 45:10Speaker 3: his film too, so good. It pisses me off how
- 45:12Speaker 3: good he is.
- 45:13Speaker 5: He's so good.
- 45:14Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a beast. Bro Fernanda was great. You know
- 45:19Speaker 4: who is is it?
- 45:20Speaker 3: Kal Kaylon Black? Yeah, with the running back Kaylin Black.
- 45:25Speaker 3: Oh the forty nine ers, Yeah, forty nine, but he
- 45:27Speaker 3: was India. He was the Indiana running back. I'm like,
- 45:31Speaker 3: we kind of went out before him. He's like one
- 45:33Speaker 3: of the only guys we left the tent before he left,
- 45:36Speaker 3: and I kind of came back and he pulls me aside.
- 45:37Speaker 3: He's like, hey, man, like what kind of should I
- 45:40Speaker 3: be on the lookout for? Can you give me any
- 45:41Speaker 3: advice or anything? And I'm like, dude, this is awesome
- 45:43Speaker 3: that you really want to know about that, Like you
- 45:45Speaker 3: just tell guys like that just want to be great.
- 45:47Speaker 4: And immediately you're like, oh, he's going to fit in
- 45:49Speaker 4: perfectly with the four. Yeah. I told him.
- 45:51Speaker 3: I was like, Bro, you're in the best locker room.
- 45:52Speaker 3: If there's anything you should just take in, it's being
- 45:54Speaker 3: around the boys. And I told him how like we
- 45:56Speaker 3: were able to work. I mean, we're able to establish
- 45:59Speaker 3: our locker room and like feel like we still kind
- 46:00Speaker 3: of have that going on. But every guy that leaves
- 46:03Speaker 3: the NFL or leaves the sport once they're finally downplaying
- 46:05Speaker 3: the one thing they missed the most is the locker room, Like,
- 46:07Speaker 3: take that in, soak it and nourish shit. I was like,
- 46:09Speaker 3: because when you're out of the league, hopefully it's in
- 46:11Speaker 3: the next ten years, you're gonna be married, You're gonna
- 46:13Speaker 3: have kids. Like this is not you don't go in
- 46:14Speaker 3: like Saturdays and go hang out with the boys, Like no,
- 46:17Speaker 3: you hang out with your family. And it's like that's great,
- 46:19Speaker 3: but take this in and hold it now because it's
- 46:21Speaker 3: the best. It's awesome. He was great, dude, Fernanda Mendozo.
- 46:25Speaker 4: He checked us on the Heisman checked us.
- 46:28Speaker 5: What do you say?
- 46:29Speaker 4: He's like, oh, you guys, weren't He started.
- 46:31Speaker 3: Saying, He's like, I got a question for you guys.
- 46:33Speaker 3: And then we were running over on time because.
- 46:35Speaker 4: I was trying to get the ball. Yeah, you want
- 46:37Speaker 4: my signature. I was like, I'm a fan.
- 46:38Speaker 3: He's like are you yeah, yeah, and he was like,
- 46:42Speaker 3: I had a question for you guys. He did that
- 46:43Speaker 3: and then it started. It started didn't get weird, but
- 46:46Speaker 3: he was like, you don't remember, and I'm thinking about
- 46:48Speaker 3: like running through my brain of like what could we
- 46:50Speaker 3: have said about Fernando that he would not like? And
- 46:53Speaker 3: as he's getting up and walk away. He goes, you
- 46:55Speaker 3: guys were haters in my heusman camp.
- 46:57Speaker 4: You guys were gainst me on the heisman, and it's like, yeah,
- 46:59Speaker 4: we were, but I'm also thinking we were also saying
- 47:02Speaker 4: that he was gonna win. Yeah, but we were saying
- 47:05Speaker 4: he shouldn't win. Well.
- 47:07Speaker 8: Also, Jeremy Clump also said, if Nanda Mendoza wins the Heisman,
- 47:11Speaker 8: it will be the most boring winner in the history.
- 47:13Speaker 6: I said, we're statistical winner in highs in history, and
- 47:15Speaker 6: he checked me on that. Check Plump individually individually checked.
- 47:19Speaker 5: Me on it.
- 47:19Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, dude, And he probably just came
- 47:21Speaker 3: across that for a split second. It all just registered.
- 47:24Speaker 3: Like Mike Ross from Suits, he knew every detail of
- 47:28Speaker 3: it because he tells us you don't have social Media's like, well,
- 47:30Speaker 3: someone must have showed you something because he was he
- 47:32Speaker 3: had a roll index of ship and also just messed
- 47:35Speaker 3: with it.
- 47:35Speaker 4: It was like yeah, because he is a cat that's
- 47:39Speaker 4: like super fun, yeah, fun with it. He's not having
- 47:44Speaker 4: like some ill intent be like, oh, you guys are
- 47:46Speaker 4: hating on me for the heisman. Oh, he was just
- 47:48Speaker 4: like busting our balls about it.
- 47:50Speaker 3: Yeah, And also like the whole season. Clump's like, I'm
- 47:53Speaker 3: not believing in India. They have to win the national
- 47:55Speaker 3: championship for me to believe in them the whole time.
- 47:58Speaker 3: Even when they played Miami after they just body back
- 48:01Speaker 3: after this, body backed all these teams in the playoffs,
- 48:04Speaker 3: still like Miami's gonna dog walk down.
- 48:06Speaker 4: There's no fucking's all this that's true. I'm sorry we
- 48:11Speaker 4: watched the beef, but that is true. I'm sorry, but
- 48:14Speaker 4: go Raiders.
- 48:15Speaker 5: Raiders.
- 48:17Speaker 4: He consumes the content too.
- 48:18Speaker 6: He's talking about the the Nelk bet and all that
- 48:21Speaker 6: stuff like it's about the brand, he says.
- 48:24Speaker 8: Social media, but he pulled up four different bits we've
- 48:27Speaker 8: done in the last like three months.
- 48:29Speaker 4: Maybe maybe it's a recent change. I think he said
- 48:31Speaker 4: it was recent. Yeah, no distraction.
- 48:33Speaker 8: That was also the first time I've seen him in
- 48:35Speaker 8: person for in the Mendoza is a big fucking b
- 48:38Speaker 8: his legs.
- 48:39Speaker 3: Are Yeah, he's he's got a big buddy. You know
- 48:42Speaker 3: who surprised me in their stature, Carson Bets. We were
- 48:45Speaker 3: all saying that and a bit of a vibe to.
- 48:49Speaker 5: Break.
- 48:50Speaker 4: We're talking physique now.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Like he came in here shoulder definition like he's a
- 48:56Speaker 3: he's a big fucking boy, big as hands.
- 49:00Speaker 4: How tall is he? He was up there?
- 49:02Speaker 3: We were five, Yeah, we were up there. He was
- 49:05Speaker 3: put together, Yeah together, and just the I tried to
- 49:09Speaker 3: play on him and Jeremiah Love, like, how do you
- 49:11Speaker 3: guys feel about one of you guys made the playoffs?
- 49:13Speaker 3: Whatever you didn't type of thing, and both of them
- 49:16Speaker 3: super different personalities, but like probably two of my favorite ones.
- 49:20Speaker 4: We did like it was awesome.
- 49:22Speaker 8: I started questioning why there was so much hate on
- 49:25Speaker 8: Carson Beck now because he was a very fun interview.
- 49:28Speaker 3: Like what I started questioning myself. I was like, why
- 49:30Speaker 3: have I been hanging on so much?
- 49:32Speaker 4: Ray?
- 49:32Speaker 6: When he walked out, You're like, dude, I'm Carson that
- 49:34Speaker 6: guy like Carson Beck was.
- 49:35Speaker 3: Because he does he's got that like, uh, he's cultured,
- 49:39Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. He's been to a couple
- 49:41Speaker 3: of cookouts. The way he was talking, he went to Georgia.
- 49:43Speaker 3: He went to Georgia, and that was I was the
- 49:45Speaker 3: first question I asked, like, you think the Georgia fans
- 49:47Speaker 3: willing too hard on you? And he's like, you know,
- 49:49Speaker 3: everyone's got their opinion. But the way he was kind
- 49:51Speaker 3: of having fun with the questions, like either someone told
- 49:53Speaker 3: him and he knew what the idea of this whole
- 49:55Speaker 3: thing was right when he walked in, or he's just
- 49:57Speaker 3: a guy and had fun with it. He was he
- 50:00Speaker 3: seems like, yeah, he's a dude. Like I'm I'm low
- 50:04Speaker 3: key rooting for Carson Beck.
- 50:05Speaker 5: Now, kind we gotta get Coop on the train, because.
- 50:07Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how it usually happens. It's exactly how you
- 50:10Speaker 4: and I mean, like we'll be removed and doing our
- 50:12Speaker 4: like subjective takes on everything, and you're kind of like
- 50:15Speaker 4: we're all finding our lanes on who we think are
- 50:17Speaker 4: gonna win the game. You gotta find reasons why they're
- 50:19Speaker 4: not entertainment value and everything else. But the minute you're
- 50:22Speaker 4: like around the players, especially if you had this experience
- 50:25Speaker 4: with Carson, then you're like going back through your head
- 50:27Speaker 4: like I kind of hate that I did whatever I did.
- 50:30Speaker 4: I'll say this too.
- 50:32Speaker 3: Beck came in immediately with a bunch of energy, loved
- 50:35Speaker 3: every second of it to the point he walked away.
- 50:37Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm now a fan of Carson Beck. One
- 50:39Speaker 3: that started slow but ended, in my opinion, the best
- 50:42Speaker 3: was Jeremiah Love.
- 50:44Speaker 4: Yeah, it was amazing when I saw when I saw
- 50:47Speaker 4: him come up, I was like, oh damn, I didn't
- 50:49Speaker 4: get to meet Jeremiah and bro he like I asked
- 50:52Speaker 4: him the first question and he came into with twenty
- 50:55Speaker 4: more people were there.
- 50:56Speaker 6: I told Will that this morning, like it was the
- 50:58Speaker 6: different feel when they walked in with all those feo.
- 51:00Speaker 4: Yes with them.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Everyone was watching everyone's kind of and we then like
- 51:05Speaker 3: a lot of them in the back were laughing and
- 51:06Speaker 3: stuff like that over all the conversation taking place, but
- 51:08Speaker 3: we go through it. The first answer he has is
- 51:11Speaker 3: like he's essentially whispering at me. I can't even fucking
- 51:13Speaker 3: hear what he's saying. I like, think, guy, he's got
- 51:15Speaker 3: a mic on. And then we start talking. He starts
- 51:17Speaker 3: to open up a little bit. We start have a
- 51:18Speaker 3: little bit of fun and I'm like, all right, you
- 51:20Speaker 3: ready to hear your uh your men rating. He's like,
- 51:23Speaker 3: now let's talk about something else, and I'm like, oh, okay, yeah,
- 51:26Speaker 3: hell yeah, dude, Like what do you like to do?
- 51:28Speaker 3: I saw the thing where you don't drink, you don't

- 52:25Speaker 3: the door a little bit of like you've been doing
- 52:27Speaker 3: a lot if you want to rest a little bit.
- 52:30Speaker 3: How are you to keep your energy for these last
- 52:31Speaker 3: eight or nine And I look over at Jeremy Clump
- 52:34Speaker 3: and Jared Beamon and they do the so this is
- 52:38Speaker 3: inside ball, but they started faking like they were shooting heroin.
- 52:43Speaker 4: In their veins. Like remember we were in Miami and
- 52:45Speaker 4: we're doing like the interpretive dance type shit.
- 52:47Speaker 3: And I started doing it. And I don't know why.
- 52:50Speaker 3: At that moment when I did it to myself, I
- 52:53Speaker 3: had energy. The rest of the time, it was. It
- 52:55Speaker 3: was like a shot of espresso to the veins.
- 52:57Speaker 4: Immediately.

- 55:32Speaker 3: Then when he's watching this right now and laughing to
- 55:33Speaker 3: himself and Loki kind of feeling bad that he bought
- 55:35Speaker 3: it back then when Ty hit this with the eighty
- 55:38Speaker 3: five Madden ratings.

- 55:48Speaker 8: just on the vlog camera. I go, hey, if you
- 55:49Speaker 8: had to give Will and Taylor Madden ranking would it be?
- 55:51Speaker 8: And he goes, man, I don't know, like honestly, I'd
- 55:54Speaker 8: probably put him both at eighty five. And then I
- 55:56Speaker 8: went up to ago, you need to ask him about
- 55:58Speaker 8: the Madden ratings and then obviously.
- 56:00Speaker 4: No, no, Jack, you didn't just go in. You sprinted

- 56:11Speaker 8: Taylor immediately win the corner and he's going I had three.
- 56:15Speaker 4: Pro bows first round, pack like, and it's funny seeing

- 56:25Speaker 4: you what, that's just a tip of the captain Will Compton,
- 56:27Speaker 4: Like all the things he's done after his career.
- 56:30Speaker 3: People like Will was a fucking Will was that dog.
- 56:34Speaker 3: Will and Taylor were the same in the locker room.
- 56:38Speaker 3: And it's like, I don't know if it's a worse
- 56:40Speaker 3: look for me or a better look for Will, but
- 56:41Speaker 3: I'll just stay on the positivity side, Like, Hey, shout

- 57:23Speaker 8: do the shout out and JP didn't even see until
- 57:25Speaker 8: this morning. Oh and JP still kind of bodied him
- 57:28Speaker 8: because in the clip, Kate kind of stutters and he goes, man,
- 57:31Speaker 8: he's already scared.
- 57:32Speaker 4: He's like scared in the NFL, like JP just stays
- 57:35Speaker 4: winning in these situations.
- 57:36Speaker 3: Man, He's like, kevlar, you just can't penetrate.
- 57:40Speaker 4: Great time, Yeah, overall, great time, dude. It is sick.
- 57:43Speaker 4: It is sick. Know when we like they wanted us
- 57:45Speaker 4: out to do reveal Mad Ratings.
- 57:47Speaker 5: Where were you because it seemed like you weren't with
- 57:50Speaker 5: him the whole time?
- 57:51Speaker 4: So which which day on EA?
- 57:53Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 57:54Speaker 4: So Rue had a ballet recital, like when everything was
- 57:57Speaker 4: getting figured out, and Clumb was like, hey, would you
- 57:59Speaker 4: guys want to do EA? Sports was to have you
- 58:01Speaker 4: guys out to do content, like do some mad ratings,
- 58:03Speaker 4: like do content for EA, And I was like, I'm down.
- 58:06Speaker 4: I have to be back home because Rue has a
- 58:10Speaker 4: ballet recital on Sunday. So all the plans got figured
- 58:13Speaker 4: out and worked out, negotiated, all that stuff happened. So
- 58:17Speaker 4: then we I had to leave at one o'clock. So
- 58:20Speaker 4: after lunch, my flight was booked at three. He's like, hey,
- 58:23Speaker 4: you're gonna fly out at three. You're laying back in
- 58:25Speaker 4: Nashville at nine, and so that problem was solved. But
- 58:29Speaker 4: then when we get and we're sitting in there and
- 58:31Speaker 4: we realized, like I didn't know. I didn't know like
- 58:33Speaker 4: what the entire schedule was going to be that day.
- 58:35Speaker 4: I just knew I was gonna leave at one o'clock.
- 58:38Speaker 4: Cums like, oh, we're gonna have to stay intill like
- 58:40Speaker 4: four because of content and everything else. But I didn't
- 58:42Speaker 4: know the entire day was going to be just the
- 58:45Speaker 4: one on one interviews. So when I was leaving at
- 58:48Speaker 4: lunch time, like I'm in my head, I'm like, uh,
- 58:50Speaker 4: I felt bad, like having to leave knowing that it's
- 58:53Speaker 4: the same what we just did. It's the same thing
- 58:55Speaker 4: for the back half of the day because I thought
- 58:57Speaker 4: we do like we like barely halfway through too. Yeah,
- 58:59Speaker 4: like they had they like had like I went seven
- 59:02Speaker 4: guys per like like you know they would have like
- 59:05Speaker 4: seven They're like, we'll give you a new seven sheets
- 59:07Speaker 4: whenever the guys come in. But everybody was slated for
- 59:09Speaker 4: like six to eight minutes every one because before the
- 59:12Speaker 4: event happened, I'm thinking I didn't know what we were
- 59:15Speaker 4: gonna do. I'm thinking we're gonna reveal Madden raies the guys.
- 59:17Speaker 4: That's gonna be fun and we'll probably be like shooting
- 59:19Speaker 4: content around the whole scene of what the Rookie Premiere is.
- 59:23Speaker 4: But it was basically one on one interviews. But my
- 59:26Speaker 4: flight was just my flight was at three, so I
- 59:28Speaker 4: left at one to go make my flight to get
- 59:30Speaker 4: home and.
- 59:30Speaker 3: Bro, the weather was incredible, but we were inside this
- 59:33Speaker 3: tent again steamy and the night before because we hit
- 59:37Speaker 3: the cold tub, I didn't have the heavy play of
- 59:39Speaker 3: the underwear game. So I'm raw dog in the end.
- 59:42Speaker 3: I'm going to bro, god bless. I was hurting at
- 59:46Speaker 3: the end, swamp ass like crazy. We're on the We're
- 59:49Speaker 3: on the flight back from La back to Vegas for
- 59:51Speaker 3: our second Vegas trip in the last what twelve hours.
- 59:54Speaker 3: Jared's got dude wipes. He's shirtless, just in his underwear, showering.
- 59:58Speaker 4: Well, I'm you know. They vampire sign for thirty minutes.
- 1:00:04Speaker 9: Was clean take If you don't you can't take a shower,
- 1:00:06Speaker 9: wipe down. You made a funny comment.
- 1:00:08Speaker 6: You're like, you're sitting in the chair, didn't even want
- 1:00:10Speaker 6: to move because if you moved you'd start sweating.
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: Oh Bro, I know.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: And then it was a couple of times I want
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: to get outside because once you get out of the tent,
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: it's like way less hot. But it's just side like
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: there's a mall ik I want to play catch, and
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: it's just.
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: It was just fun. Like the kid in me kind
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: of him out.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: I was like, oh, oh, I want to have the
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: most fun I can during this whole thing. One thing
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: I wish we did was I wish we were able
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: to kind of experience all the different tents. It was
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: cool that we got there early in the morning bro
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: to do all this.
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: It seemed like you're hearing music going on by whatever
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: they're doing inside of that tent. You see one where
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: it's just like a photo opportunity. Guys are getting up there,
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: like climbing up at the top of the stairs, like
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: on this platform up there like doing all these shots,
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: and then fanatics or whoever whatever trading card company is
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: doing it, they're going straight from photos or getting them
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: on the computer to like put them on cards like immediately.
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: So they had like a lot of cool things going
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: on around the entire event, probably like what twenty ten around,
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: and we just had one that we were just we
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: had to be in like the whole time, and it
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: was cool being at USC's campus too. Yeah, it would
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: have been sick to get a tour of USC's campus.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been sick because I mean I've
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: told you guys a story about going to that junior
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: camp when Pete Carroll was there, and that was the
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: last time I was there. Like, dude, the campus is
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: sick outside the campus wolf, but in the campus badass.
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: Just being around those practice fields too, Like even back
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: in like seven eight when Rivals was like starting to
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: pick up steam, I feel like the backdrop of campus,
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: like of their practice field was always like, uh when
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: I'm around there seeing it, like the nostalgia of you
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: see like a photo of you and you see the
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: backdrop of their practice field that was at USC was there. Yeah,
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: you just know, Oh that dude got invited to a
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: USC camp, right, dude. Yeah, I won't even Yeah, that
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: guy's a stud. It's like a stamp, dude. It was.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: We had a great time and then as soon as uh,
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: this EA thing ended, everyone there was incredible that we
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: had we had. I hope that God wants to do
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: more stuff with us because I had too much fun
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: during that They Will.
- 1:02:00Speaker 8: Because I've got to give y'all shout out. You guys
- 1:02:03Speaker 8: absolutely crush.
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: The interview made these guys kind of like level out,
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: Like there was like a tone of like not as serious,
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: but we're gonna get to serious conversation. And both y
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: all together were so funny. And then when Will left
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: and it was just Taylor, there's kind of a moment
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: where it's like, how are these interviews going to go now?
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: With the one on one dynamic? Dude, I have not
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: seen Taylor and flows state like that maybe ever. He
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: truly was so comfortable in the chair and just getting
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: like great information out of guys. It just felt like
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: you've been doing this for twenty years just interviewing guys.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: So both y'all and Taylor individual crush it. I'd be
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: shocked if E doesn't want to do stuff with all
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: the employees like around just in the tent. Seemed like
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: they were having a great time. Right, Rico dynamic.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: Rico was auscar Rico had nothing to do with EA, Right,
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: who is he with production company? And we turned into
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: a bit of like, oh, Rico's a guy that does
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: all the things and so dude, it was awesome. Dave
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: Rico Pablo, the the mic guy. He loves his job.
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: I know that sound guy of Pablo. He loves his shit. Yeah,
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: and he was there's a couple of times he'd be like,

- 1:03:03Speaker 3: with this guy, yeah, kind of messed with guys.
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: In the back.
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: Like the echo of Jack said, there's so many times

- 1:03:08Speaker 4: People like like this is great.
- 1:03:10Speaker 9: There wasn't one bad moment. It was you guys, like
- 1:03:14Speaker 9: Jack said, like crushed every interview. Everything went smooth. It

- 1:07:52Speaker 3: three football seasons.
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: I have been out of the league.
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: I don't even remember what it's like to get hit
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: put on pads. Feels like I lived a completely different
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: life and I'm living a separate life now from my
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: NFL career. Right the amount of violence it takes, the
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: amount of callous the toughness, the callous of like getting
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: hit over and over again to the point where it's
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: like it feels more like an everyday experience as opposed
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: to a unique experience.
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: It's just so different.
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: So if you can pull it off, like it'll be
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, especially
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: against a guy like Max Holloway, who can throw bows
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: probably with the best of any of them in there.
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: Even the environment of it, Like I get Connor McGregor's
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: as much as anybody built for an environment in an
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: atmosphere like that, but the adrenaline dump that takes place
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: again five years outside of the octagon. Like, it's gonna
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: be hard for me to think that that Connor's gonna
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: pull it off. Like there is a part of me,
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: you know, the young fan who loved Connor McGregor, that's
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: going to be rooting for him to win. But the
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: reality is, like, dude, is he gonna be able to
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: walk out in that octagon, consume that entire atmosphere and
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: put on a winning performance against Max Holloway who stayed steady? Yes,
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: who is stay steady? If I'm Connor McGregor's team, I'm
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: taking the first part of what you just said. It's
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: gonna be hard for me to believe that he can
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: walk down octagon and win. And I'm showing it to
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: Connor right now. There's gonna be a montage of those
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: he like. Obviously he gets motivated by everybody who hates
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: against them or roots against him and everything else. But
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: and everybody's already breaking down, Like Max Holloway, he kind
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: of stands there. This is actually a perfect opponent for Connor.
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: But that's also assuming that Connor is going to be
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: Connor right out of the gate, walking out there.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Yeah, buddy, it's gonna be It's gonna be awesome whether
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: we go or not, it's gonna be incredible. Because my god,
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: I think that's something clumpy.
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: Huh. I'm excited. I can watch it from the hospital,
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: all right. Mouth.
- 1:09:39Speaker 6: Plus, that's dope, dude, that's amazing.
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna be tuned into that fight. Yes, it's the
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: return of Connor McGregor and a bag thing.
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: July eleventh is a fight correct ten days later, gonna
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: be hell for me and for Tailing. That's Taylor's birthday,
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: but it's also Father's Day.
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: That's July.
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: Oh ship June June twenty First, I was trying to
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: pivot into, uh, we have Father's Day mark we got
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: and you look incredible and that's why we're professionals and
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: we don't miss.
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: We got some Western theme merch out for Father's Day.
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: We're rocking a couple a couple of the outfits right now.
- 1:10:16Speaker 4: We have hoodies, we have t shirts.
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: Look at that, Look at that. It's a couple of bears.
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: Cowboy Bears, got this hat on right here. Retired cowboy
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: full time dad, BWTV dot com distill board right here
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: might be nice. If you're a Texas fan, I put
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: this on with pair of blue jeans.
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: Huh, proud to be a dad. BWTV dot com. Get
- 1:10:34Speaker 4: your Father's Day merch. It's gonna be coming. It's dropping
- 1:10:37Speaker 4: now right live.
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: It's live right now, right now, So Dad's send this
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: to your wife. Like I know I've sent you a
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: thousand clips on these idiots, but please just listen to
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: this small thing right now. We need this dad merch
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: for Father's Dad.
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: How long we've been ripping the intro demon our ten?
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: We took a little pause, but we gotta go.
- 1:10:53Speaker 5: People coming right, We're gonna do Interns.
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: Oh yeah, intern are coming. Our summer internship program starts
- 1:11:02Speaker 4: in two weeks. Two weeks. I would assume that the
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: interns who are coming in here, they probably listen every
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: week of Busting with the Boys. They should, you would
- 1:11:10Speaker 4: assume right every minute.
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: If I want a job at Busting with the Boys
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: and I have an internship, I would be consuming as
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: much content as I possibly could, including two weeks before. Yes,
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: So with that being said, if they're listening annually, let's
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: start the tradition of telling them what they should bring in.
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: Should we talk about fit. I mean they got to
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: become suited, correct.
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: So Clump had an idea of doing the Hawaiian outfit
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: and then as as kind of the dust settled of
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: our pre production meeting, people brought up but the suit's
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: kind of a thing now where it needs to be
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: a suit.
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: We asked guys who are with us now that came
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: from the internship program, Hey, what are your thoughts? And
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: our boy Matt Malone was like, oh, they need a
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: rock suits. Like that's like a thing, Like it feels
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: like it's got to be a tradition. Day one suited
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: and booted for busting with the boys. The Michigan Boys
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: did mission boys didn't. And and by the way, shout
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: out them. I don't know if you guys talke about
- 1:11:57Speaker 4: them last week because I wasn't here for the intro.
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: But incredible boy, Yeah, incredible boys so suited in Buden
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: suited and Buden gotta be locked in. I feel like
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: they should come bearing gifts half some sort. I share
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: it with sour Patch kids.
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: Hey, if you're a Tier one, you don't skip over this.
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: If you're a tier one, you're not going to skip
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: over the opportunity. I about to present in front of
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: you right now, May twenty seven, Jared Beeman and Friends
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: is going to take place in Nashville, Tennessee at Zany's.
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: I'm gonna be hosting this thing. I'll get up there,
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: I'll say you a couple of things. You guys want
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: to have a couple of pictures, a couple of hangs,
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: have a couple of cocktails. We can do all of that.
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: We watch Jared Beeman and a slew of talented comedians
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: step on stage and just have a good giggling time.
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: If you want tickets, there's only a few left, so
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: go to Nashville dot zanies dot com, snag your tickets,
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: grab the crew, and let's make a night out of it. Boys,
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: it's a time to have a little bit of fun,
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: and why not put Jared Jared Beeman on a little
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: pedestal with all of his boys and gals and have
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: a little bit of fun. Big hugs, tiny kisses, enjoy
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: the rest.
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: Of this episode. Here's what I think, dude.
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: When you say bearing gifts, it'd be easy for us
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: to say bring us X, Y and Z. I think
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: these individuals should bring us a gift that resembles where
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: they are from where. They have to put it in
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: their own mind of like, well, how do I want
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: to represent myself. I'm from Arkansas, I'm from New Jersey,
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: I'm from all these other places. This is what means
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: something to me, and it is a gift from me
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: to the boys that you like that.
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: Yeah, just one singular thing or one thing for each
- 1:13:21Speaker 5: of the boys.
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: Singular thing. We'll do this too to make sure they're
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: just on their p's and q's. We'll continue to build
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: off that idea so we can give examples, more examples
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: of what to bring in where they're from next week,
- 1:13:34Speaker 4: because then next week we will also say, like a
- 1:13:37Speaker 4: different theme. Maybe we'll go with the Hawaiian theme, but
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: we all know they need to come in rock and suits.
- 1:13:41Speaker 5: I like this.
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: I like this. This is what happens when we get
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: man go through and escape games. He says, he becomes devious.
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: I like that.
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the real one. This is the
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: official one. We're going shooted and booted, and we want
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: a gift that represents where you are from and a
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: reason you know you're gonna get on the money behind
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: it and a story behind it. Something that's gonna be
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: something like that it belongs to you. Maybe you buy
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: something at a gift shop and it's like, oh, this
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: reminds me of x Y and ZL me and my
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: father did this or whatever.
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: Yeah, and we can start like a shelf or something. Yeah,
- 1:14:13Speaker 4: to the shell. You just gotta be prepared to explain
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: why why you brought.
- 1:14:16Speaker 7: It exactly, I believe last year I think, yeah, they
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: had to call Jared a bitch.
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: Yeah. Should we have something?
- 1:14:23Speaker 5: Bryan's the only one to do it?
- 1:14:24Speaker 4: Really?
- 1:14:25Speaker 9: Should they have like some type of like code work,
- 1:14:28Speaker 9: I mean, like a mission. A mission is the word
- 1:14:31Speaker 9: like a mission that they do day one that like
- 1:14:33Speaker 9: when they do it to that guy me last year
- 1:14:35Speaker 9: getting called a bitch?
- 1:14:35Speaker 5: Is okay?
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: You listened?
- 1:14:37Speaker 9: Is there something else they could do like that?
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: That's a good idea, pants Matt, all of them we
- 1:14:46Speaker 4: can just next week we can build on some of
- 1:14:50Speaker 4: these and then try to give them something to get
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: off the scent of what exactly they have to do
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: so very confusing.
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: We have to have something now, we have to because
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: this is the real one. So let's just do one
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: more thing. We'll figure it out. We can cut through
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: a bunch of this bullshit if we need to do.
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: We want to pause and come back when we have something.
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: What out of everybody in the shop, who would you
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: say doesn't consume all of the Bust with the Boys episodes? Jack, Coop, Coop,
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: but Jack's on the bus like Jack's usually chef Like
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: somebody who's not on the bus list Morning Chef? Does
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: chef chef about Haye that interview with her?
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: I would honestly say, Coop or Matt Malone?
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: What do we all?
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: Matt? Matt makes clips though, yeah.
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: But he makes clips of when you tell him to
- 1:15:37Speaker 6: Matt Malone Malone.
- 1:15:40Speaker 5: Like with I think Coop is like Coop is just kind.
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: Of we go Coop, Matt Malone. I don't think JP
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: listens though, like he's not going to hear this one.
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: Probably not, So you go Coop mad Malone Jp. Next week,
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: we'll have a mission for each one of them, like
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: when they come in, like maybe it's in conversation to
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: where they have to achieve something and said conversation, but this.
- 1:15:59Speaker 5: Is the real one. So don't we have to Yeah
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: we should.
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: We should lock in a rolling right now?
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: What if they just get they ask each we asked, Yeah,
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: I know, we asked each of them. They have to
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: go and get a side autograph from Matt Malone, JP
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: and Coop like that. That seems simple enough.
- 1:16:14Speaker 8: Like does it have to be where like they have
- 1:16:16Speaker 8: to get their signature without being like I need your autograph,
- 1:16:18Speaker 8: Like they have to find a way to get their signatures.
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: Yeah. I love that part of them not listening either. Yeah,
- 1:16:24Speaker 4: that's awesome. This is this is war jack.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is a good example why we do
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: brainstorms before the show. Right, we got a little we
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: had a little rocky here, but it's all good.
- 1:16:32Speaker 4: We'll work through it, should we some teer talk forget
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: a couple of these tier talk right here.
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: This comes from que zooming on that for the love

- 1:16:46Speaker 3: receive a full ride to any college, which sport in
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: college would you pick? That would be the sickest experience.

- 1:21:22Speaker 5: We need to go to a Friday Night Lights with
- 1:21:24Speaker 5: wyat Compton and get a.
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: Pretty to have to Here's one here from Dick Richard
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: after seeing Taylor Wan's love for Travis Pastrana at Power Slap,
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: what's it gonna take to get a Pastrana land trip
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: and vlog with some of the boys in de Laney.
- 1:21:39Speaker 4: I want to see a six to seven man backflip
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: at pit bike into the phone pit. It will take
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: an invite from Travis Pastrana.
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: We've tried a few different times. I know, I know
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: there was a couple a couple of years ago you
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: and Taylor were I was gonna say that was probably
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: a few years ago.
- 1:21:53Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a while back, Like Taylor was trying
- 1:21:55Speaker 4: to line it up to where we could go out
- 1:21:56Speaker 4: there for your birthday. Then there was a second time
- 1:21:58Speaker 4: where it seemed like our team in their team, we're
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: communicating about lining something up for us.
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: We're very close, and then it just felt just fell through.
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: So that so it's been on the table before. I
- 1:22:07Speaker 3: love to put on the table again.
- 1:22:08Speaker 4: I will.
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: I want to out myself a little bit as young
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: young kids when we all get in the trampoline. Guys
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: would do backflips all the time. I would never be
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: able to commit to the backflip. I would always get
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: too scared with the rotation and all that, so I
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: would be terrified to do this though, have to though, right,
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: have to have to do this?
- 1:22:27Speaker 8: You were asked and said yes to hitting the big
- 1:22:29Speaker 8: ramp at Nitro Circus this weekend.
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'll say a lot of things when
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: my gods are in front of me, right, I'll say
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: a lot of things.
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: And I will a backflip. Though, Like, I see what
- 1:22:41Speaker 4: you're saying. It's like, it's not like we're going up
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: to the the like the ten meter thing and you're
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: just jumping off something or doing something right.
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: Actually, skill has to take place. Like riding the bike
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: off of ramp into a phone pit. To me, is
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: not like we can do that. That's not an issue.
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: It's the hey, when do we how do we rotate
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: the whole thing? Because phone pits are much safer, But
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: that bike lands on you upside down. You can still
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: break shit.
- 1:23:05Speaker 5: I mean pit bike, huh, pit bike not like a
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: big bike.
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: But still and I'm a big boy. It was her
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: phone compresses a little bit faster when this body frame
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: is hitting it. So let's get the invite first, then
- 1:23:17Speaker 3: we'll work the detail. This one comes from Jared Ladd.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: What's the best the bet?
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: Can you please? Oh? What's the next bite? Bit?
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: He said? But hashtag tear talk. There is a sandwich
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: in front of us with one, two or three? Now
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: on three. I want everybody on the bus to say
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: the number.
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: Everyone good with that? One? Two, three, three, three two.
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: It's a three piece, really, it's gotta be three. You
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: you take three, and you set yourself up for two, yep.
- 1:23:52Speaker 5: And it's like two times too, yeah, yep.
- 1:23:55Speaker 8: If you go too, then you're in this weird place
- 1:23:57Speaker 8: where all of a sudden, I don't know, I just.
- 1:23:59Speaker 4: Like you look at that sandwich and if you eat two,
- 1:24:02Speaker 4: looking at one and three, you got nothing but kind
- 1:24:04Speaker 4: of bad ball left, and you get like, you get
- 1:24:05Speaker 4: three out of the way, because then two you're building
- 1:24:08Speaker 4: two in the even more when you take that bite
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: and all you have nothing is nothing left except the
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: crust where the one lies. This is a moment where.
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: I'm taking the eye candy of just seeing the meat
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: and the flavor.
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: You see that cheese, I.
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: See the cheese. I know that's probably gonna be the
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: best bitt of the sandwich. And I'm a guy that
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: I'm gonna go get it. I'm gonna go get what's mine.
- 1:24:31Speaker 5: Right, make it better, and take three first.
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: If you take three out right here, yeah, look at
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: what you got left. Two yeah, but then you've got
- 1:24:41Speaker 4: some bullshit at the end, right, But you're you're just
- 1:24:44Speaker 4: gonna bite it to where this is left, and that's
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: when you're gonna make a decision of why I finished
- 1:24:48Speaker 4: the sandwich. If there's some sauce, I'll dip it. I'll
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: enjoy it, or you throw in the trash if you go.
- 1:24:53Speaker 4: If you go, I'll tell you right now, you're throwing
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: shit in the trash right right right. But I'm saying
- 1:24:57Speaker 4: you go to first, you'll enjoy Once you take three off,
- 1:25:00Speaker 4: you'll enjoy this bite more because there will be not
- 1:25:04Speaker 4: like if you go to right now, then you're gonna
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: get in between one and three, so little stuff hits
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: the cheeks a little bit to where if you cut
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: this down, you're gonna have nothing but green grass in
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: front of you when you have two.
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: I so logically I'll understand what you're saying. My brain
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: in this moment, my brain might just get wiped with
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: that two just staring me down. That's my problem. Yeah,
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: it's all I gotta I gotta get that. Yeah, I'm
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: solliving right now just looking at it.
- 1:25:28Speaker 7: As a guy who it's PB and j's every day
- 1:25:30Speaker 7: for lunch. I set myself up for that. Take that
- 1:25:33Speaker 7: three bite so that two bite is even bigger. And
- 1:25:36Speaker 7: y'all know I can take some big ice bites.
- 1:25:37Speaker 3: So can I be honestly though, if this is a
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: PB and J, I'm leaning more towards three because I'm
- 1:25:42Speaker 3: thinking about jelly spillag. This is ham and cheese is
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: more solid.
- 1:25:45Speaker 7: You're still like, I'm sure you can assume that there's
- 1:25:46Speaker 7: probably like mayo or some sort of sauce on there.
- 1:25:48Speaker 7: And you take that too, and you try to get
- 1:25:50Speaker 7: too deep in there, you're gonna get that.
- 1:25:52Speaker 5: Old the cheeks.
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: Yeah, not bad.
- 1:25:55Speaker 3: My kids are still in the face where they just
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: eat down the middle of the barrel the whole time.
- 1:25:58Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, what are y'all fucking dealing?
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: Man, It's like touching their ears. I'm like, guys, fucking
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: go on a side mission for a second. I get
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: a side quest on this sandwich.
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: All right, I hear what you're saying.
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: On three, I'm probably still gonna go to I love
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: to be like, yeah, you are right, I'm probably still gonna.
- 1:26:17Speaker 4: Go to Yeah, I see three.
- 1:26:18Speaker 5: I just wanted to.

- 1:30:28Speaker 4: was trying to come to the rams back when I
- 1:30:30Speaker 4: was free.
- 1:30:31Speaker 10: That was the thing. He didn't hit me on that either.
- 1:30:32Speaker 10: Maybe we would have that's got that year ten.
- 1:30:35Speaker 4: Would you you would have signed them? Oh?
- 1:30:38Speaker 10: Hell yeah, this is this is my kind of guy. Though,
- 1:30:40Speaker 10: I mean, he's I will say this, there's a it's
- 1:30:44Speaker 10: it's really cool to be able to see all the
- 1:30:46Speaker 10: things that he's done and what you guys have done.
- 1:30:48Speaker 10: But as a player, as a person, there was just
- 1:30:51Speaker 10: this energy this guy had in this charisma where there's
- 1:30:54Speaker 10: certain guys that are glue guys and they've got the
- 1:30:57Speaker 10: ability to be able to bring people together with their authenticity,
- 1:31:00Speaker 10: their consistency, the way that they go about their business.
- 1:31:03Speaker 10: Those are the kind of guys we look for. That's
- 1:31:05Speaker 10: what he was, you know, even though he didn't invite
- 1:31:06Speaker 10: me on this damn thing until about ten years into this.
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: In twenty fourteen, Is this the same wil Comfon you're
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: looking at now.
- 1:31:14Speaker 10: Better teeth saying it's the same old g You know,
- 1:31:21Speaker 10: it is cool though, I mean we all got families
- 1:31:24Speaker 10: now and it's the best thing ever. But we did
- 1:31:26Speaker 10: have some good times. I think that's what you appreciate
- 1:31:29Speaker 10: when you look back on it, is, you know, the
- 1:31:32Speaker 10: when years pass, you reconnect with certain people and it's
- 1:31:35Speaker 10: like you can appreciate the foundation of that relationship no
- 1:31:38Speaker 10: matter how much time goes in between, there's always those memories,
- 1:31:41Speaker 10: because that's what this is about. I mean, I'm sure
- 1:31:43Speaker 10: you guys can say it as players. It's like, you know,
- 1:31:46Speaker 10: the wins and stuff that it's about the relationships, the journey,
- 1:31:50Speaker 10: who you become in the midst of that journey, Like
- 1:31:52Speaker 10: that's the type of stuff you remember, the way that
- 1:31:55Speaker 10: you impacted your teammates, you know, and that's and he
- 1:31:59Speaker 10: had a positive impact on me, whether he realized it
- 1:32:01Speaker 10: or not, just us bouncing stuff off one another. And
- 1:32:04Speaker 10: there were some challenging things. But when you watch people
- 1:32:07Speaker 10: that inspire you because of the way that they handle
- 1:32:10Speaker 10: those storms or any adversity or stay humble in success,
- 1:32:14Speaker 10: like you become the company you keep. And that's players
- 1:32:17Speaker 10: and coaches in this thing.
- 1:32:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a feel. Nice to hear that compliment. Huh,
- 1:32:21Speaker 4: so it does. I mean I got to watch like
- 1:32:22Speaker 4: this dude was a psychopath. This shore was like in
- 1:32:25Speaker 4: the facility, studying all the time for the year. What
- 1:32:29Speaker 4: year is this? So my first year, my practice squad
- 1:32:32Speaker 4: year was twenty thirteen. Then when I started to play,
- 1:32:35Speaker 4: that was fourteen fifteen. Yeah, sixteen, so you were you
- 1:32:38Speaker 4: still were you still watching it in sixteen sixteen was
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: my last year? Yeah?
- 1:32:42Speaker 10: So then because you were in Washington through seventeen, Yes,
- 1:32:46Speaker 10: seventeen was our first year here, but you know those
- 1:32:49Speaker 10: last three years that we were together, that was when
- 1:32:52Speaker 10: Jay came in. We were shing your first year and
- 1:32:54Speaker 10: it was uh.
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: And you were having your rise like you and that
- 1:32:57Speaker 4: young staff that's everywhere. Now, yeah you guys just in
- 1:32:59Speaker 4: the building operating around the clock all night long. Yeah like,
- 1:33:03Speaker 4: uh yeah, he just had because we would talk about
- 1:33:05Speaker 4: I would tell him that I was interested in coaching,
- 1:33:08Speaker 4: so we would talk about stuff all the time. He'd
- 1:33:10Speaker 4: come up to me, He's like, hey, what would be
- 1:33:11Speaker 4: your go to you know, there's like a minute left,
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: it's third down, you're in the fringe area, and what's
- 1:33:19Speaker 4: your go to play? And I would just tell him
- 1:33:21Speaker 4: it probably be like a cover one peel blitz, send
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: the house, bring everybody at him, and we would just talk.
- 1:33:26Speaker 10: He didn't have that good of an answer.
- 1:33:28Speaker 4: Then yes I did.
- 1:33:29Speaker 10: No, you know what?
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: And he didn't say that what they.
- 1:33:36Speaker 10: Say the truth getting the way of a good story.
- 1:33:38Speaker 10: I gave him that, but we would check back if
- 1:33:41Speaker 10: you remember that. But you know what was the best
- 1:33:44Speaker 10: we would make I remember because he'd listen all the
- 1:33:47Speaker 10: calls and stuff. So we started putting dummy calls in
- 1:33:49Speaker 10: because they had these read blitzes where you know, he's
- 1:33:52Speaker 10: audio and the inside backer to use the back based
- 1:33:54Speaker 10: on the turn of the center. So we started just
- 1:33:56Speaker 10: hole set in the center or we started making fake calls.
- 1:33:59Speaker 10: But I will say this, some of my favorite things
- 1:34:01Speaker 10: just be in the background with offensive coaching. And now
- 1:34:04Speaker 10: you try to really just say, let's see it holistically.
- 1:34:07Speaker 10: But I always appreciated I wanted to see the game
- 1:34:10Speaker 10: through a defensive lens, you know, when you're presenting things offensively.
- 1:34:13Speaker 10: It's like the people that I respected as much as anything,
- 1:34:16Speaker 10: especially the players, it's like, hey, what are you seeing?
- 1:34:18Speaker 10: There is this something that will conflict you. And that
- 1:34:21Speaker 10: was even initially just as a practice squad guy before
- 1:34:24Speaker 10: he worked himself up starting you know, having the dot
- 1:34:27Speaker 10: and all those types of things. But there's certain guys
- 1:34:29Speaker 10: that they just have a feel and they have an
- 1:34:31Speaker 10: understanding where they can they have a capacity for the
- 1:34:33Speaker 10: game that's at a different level. That's why, like, if
- 1:34:35Speaker 10: you did get into coaching, need be a damn good coach.
- 1:34:37Speaker 4: Yeah, because I remember when you came up to me
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: we'sent training camp out Richmond. He was like, he's like, hey, Willie.
- 1:34:43Speaker 4: He was like, you know the biggest problem you'll have
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: remember this, Yeah, you remember we were by the end zone.
- 1:34:48Speaker 4: Patients Yeah yeah yeah, And you're like, it'll be patients,
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: It'll be knowing that you can't coach guys that.
- 1:34:54Speaker 10: What came easy to you?
- 1:34:55Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How have you learned that now
- 1:34:58Speaker 4: being a head coach?
- 1:34:59Speaker 10: Yeah, like what I would say, this isn't as good
- 1:35:01Speaker 10: as you guys, So you know, I have more patience
- 1:35:04Speaker 10: because what I think the toughest transition is if guys
- 1:35:08Speaker 10: that do decide they want to go from playing to
- 1:35:10Speaker 10: coaching is some of the things that come naturally, whether
- 1:35:14Speaker 10: that's physically or above the neck, it's really just making
- 1:35:18Speaker 10: sure because oh what really came easy. I think there's
- 1:35:20Speaker 10: a lot of instances where you know, I was a
- 1:35:22Speaker 10: decent athlete, but you know, there is a patience, there's
- 1:35:25Speaker 10: an understanding and there's really a big sense of appreciation
- 1:35:29Speaker 10: for what you guys can do, what you can bring
- 1:35:32Speaker 10: to life. You know, what you can show and how
- 1:35:34Speaker 10: it can be replicated, or that you know that kind
- 1:35:37Speaker 10: of that unconscious competence athletically, that level four of learning
- 1:35:40Speaker 10: that you don't even know what you're doing. It just
- 1:35:43Speaker 10: kind of makes sense. That comes naturally to guys that
- 1:35:46Speaker 10: could do it at the highest level, and I saw it.
- 1:35:48Speaker 10: So I do think there is a patience because coaching
- 1:35:50Speaker 10: is teaching right, and so I know that I'm at
- 1:35:53Speaker 10: my best when there is a patience and there's an
- 1:35:55Speaker 10: ability to say when a mistake occurs, all right, let's
- 1:35:58Speaker 10: work through this together. It's times it's like when you
- 1:36:01Speaker 10: are a performer at such a high level and the
- 1:36:03Speaker 10: inside expectations you guys probably add on yourselves before anybody
- 1:36:06Speaker 10: else placed them on you. You know, it's really then, okay,
- 1:36:09Speaker 10: when I translate to this or I transition to this,
- 1:36:12Speaker 10: is that you know, patient's going to be illustrated because
- 1:36:15Speaker 10: those things came naturally to you and it's harder to
- 1:36:17Speaker 10: have that empathy and that understanding.
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: Yeah, how long does it take for you, like what's
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: the line between patients and be like, hey, you're just
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: not listening now.
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:36:25Speaker 10: The things that the intangibles are the things that I
- 1:36:27Speaker 10: don't have any you know, tolerance, Like things you can control,
- 1:36:30Speaker 10: like consistent mental mistakes. You know you're going to jump
- 1:36:33Speaker 10: off sides, but if there's a consistent theme of you're
- 1:36:36Speaker 10: not key in the ball or key in the near
- 1:36:38Speaker 10: nee of the tackle, whatever that is, or if we're
- 1:36:40Speaker 10: not using the cadence the right way, if we're doing
- 1:36:43Speaker 10: penalties things like that, but physically I mean the enemy
- 1:36:46Speaker 10: has a say so I think you can feel that's
- 1:36:49Speaker 10: a big thing about you know, being fortunate enough to
- 1:36:51Speaker 10: go into year ten. Now you have a really good
- 1:36:53Speaker 10: idea of like the kinds of guys that work here, uh,
- 1:36:57Speaker 10: the kinds of guys that like, man, they're intrinsically motivated
- 1:37:00Speaker 10: about it. They appreciate what this game is, they like
- 1:37:03Speaker 10: the mastery of it. And then it matters because you
- 1:37:06Speaker 10: can impact people in the midst of it. It's not
- 1:37:08Speaker 10: just about winning and losing. But like everybody throws the
- 1:37:11Speaker 10: word process out, but like, do you love football and
- 1:37:13Speaker 10: everything that comes with it? Your teammates, you know, the work,
- 1:37:16Speaker 10: all those types of things. And there are a bunch
- 1:37:19Speaker 10: of guys that have been really talented in this league
- 1:37:21Speaker 10: that you evaluate and you say, might not be a fit.
- 1:37:24Speaker 10: I think fit and vision is such a big thing
- 1:37:26Speaker 10: that we've really looked for for players here. And sometimes
- 1:37:29Speaker 10: you got to look at somebody and you say, man,
- 1:37:30Speaker 10: this guy could be really good, but let's let him
- 1:37:32Speaker 10: be great for somebody else. And that's that's been learned
- 1:37:35Speaker 10: over time.
- 1:37:36Speaker 3: Is it like a sliding scale between like fit and
- 1:37:39Speaker 3: like talent and then the fit if like the talent
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: is so high, does it really matter as much about
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: the fit or vice versa when it comes to us.
- 1:37:46Speaker 10: I think I think that if you do have high
- 1:37:48Speaker 10: talent in the football characters, right, you know, then we'll
- 1:37:50Speaker 10: fit you in.
- 1:37:51Speaker 4: You know, it's not dumbas.
- 1:37:54Speaker 10: But I do think the biggest thing is is, like
- 1:37:56Speaker 10: I've heard it said before, production breeds tolerance. But I
- 1:38:00Speaker 10: I still think there's certain things that have to be
- 1:38:02Speaker 10: those non negotiables, like what's your football character? Like, I
- 1:38:05Speaker 10: think that more than anything, especially because of some of
- 1:38:07Speaker 10: the things that I've gone through where I look back
- 1:38:09Speaker 10: and I'm like, man, I did not like the kind
- 1:38:11Speaker 10: of leader, the caliber person I was. I was fragile,
- 1:38:14Speaker 10: I wasn't resilient. So really, what's become even more important,
- 1:38:18Speaker 10: especially with today's day and age, like how important it
- 1:38:21Speaker 10: is to be right above the neck, like in terms
- 1:38:23Speaker 10: of like that mental and physical toughness you see it
- 1:38:26Speaker 10: in like our team meeting. You know, the game honors toughness,
- 1:38:28Speaker 10: but I think, really like life and the game honors
- 1:38:31Speaker 10: toughness both mentally and physically, And so how many different
- 1:38:35Speaker 10: ways can we measure that in terms of the mental resilience?
- 1:38:39Speaker 10: You know, our guys. You know, in a lot of
- 1:38:41Speaker 10: instances you could say, all right, what have they been
- 1:38:43Speaker 10: through and how did that shape who they've become in
- 1:38:45Speaker 10: the midst of the journey, and like it's cool. We
- 1:38:47Speaker 10: go through like team meetings, and I think you try
- 1:38:49Speaker 10: to be able to acknowledge each guy individually, have a
- 1:38:52Speaker 10: fun fact you know, where we're building relationships, getting to
- 1:38:55Speaker 10: know each other. But then as you go through each
- 1:38:58Speaker 10: guy and you kind of have a personal message of
- 1:38:59Speaker 10: a preciation and gratitude for each guy. The consistent theme
- 1:39:03Speaker 10: is is everybody that's been successful, had any sort of success,
- 1:39:06Speaker 10: there's been some adversity and maybe when you're in it
- 1:39:09Speaker 10: you don't see that there's light at the end of
- 1:39:11Speaker 10: the tunnel. But if that can shape you and callous
- 1:39:14Speaker 10: you the right way, growth demands that discomfort, and that's
- 1:39:18Speaker 10: what I think is we're looking for guys like that,
- 1:39:20Speaker 10: and you don't punish people that haven't been through adversity.
- 1:39:23Speaker 10: But I also think it's really important for guys to know, like, hey,
- 1:39:26Speaker 10: we're in this shit with you though too, Like let's
- 1:39:28Speaker 10: build a relationship, but let's understand, you know, Chris Peterson,
- 1:39:31Speaker 10: the guy that was Boise State head coach, University of
- 1:39:34Speaker 10: Washington head coach. He's become a huge mentor of mine.
- 1:39:37Speaker 10: I've gotten connected and our relationship really means a lot.
- 1:39:40Speaker 10: And you guys think about in games, like some of
- 1:39:42Speaker 10: the pressure situations, and I know both of you guys
- 1:39:44Speaker 10: how much it meant to do well and to want
- 1:39:47Speaker 10: to be able to perform, you know, because of the
- 1:39:49Speaker 10: work that went in, but for your teammates and being
- 1:39:51Speaker 10: a part of that community that means so much. But
- 1:39:54Speaker 10: then when a mistake occurs, you guys know it. And
- 1:39:56Speaker 10: he always used to say to me, you know, I
- 1:39:58Speaker 10: think it's really important that are players always knew they'll
- 1:40:01Speaker 10: never meet the enemy on the sideline, And like I was, like,
- 1:40:04Speaker 10: that's some cool stuff. And I'd like to think that
- 1:40:07Speaker 10: the connection, the camaraderie, the enjoyment for each other's success.
- 1:40:10Speaker 10: Like that's what I hope you see when you see
- 1:40:13Speaker 10: our group play. And that's the type of people that
- 1:40:15Speaker 10: we're trying to identify. And there's obviously a prerequisitive talent
- 1:40:18Speaker 10: that needs to exist, as you guys know, but that's
- 1:40:21Speaker 10: become more and more clear, and that's become more of
- 1:40:23Speaker 10: a non negotiable, you know, to in a long winded
- 1:40:26Speaker 10: way to kind of answer your question.
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: Yeah, the not meaning the enemy on the sideline is
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: just such a bar because as right.
- 1:40:36Speaker 4: That quote, when did you hear.
- 1:40:37Speaker 10: Well he told me that, you know, he said that
- 1:40:39Speaker 10: to me probably a few years ago, years ago.
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: Yeah, As you sit there and it's like, yeah, all
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: the things, all the worries that a coach has about
- 1:40:45Speaker 3: like I want my team to perform for job security,
- 1:40:48Speaker 3: this that get a super Bowl, all all the things,
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: but like the individual player, like we remember like every
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: single game day, it's like the anxiety that takes place.
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: The clock sing down the ninety minutes is now okay,
- 1:40:57Speaker 3: we're getting up for the prayer. He's act of hitting
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: the most and you get your hand over your heart
- 1:41:01Speaker 3: and they're singing the national answer. You're like, I just
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: hope today no one finds out that I'm not who
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: I believe I am, that you have that imposter syndrome.
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: And then you go into a game. First couple of
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: series go the way you want him to, and then
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: that next series it doesn't, and you're like, fuck man,
- 1:41:15Speaker 3: and you know, like everyone preaches goldfish mentality, you gotta
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: get out of the next play and then you come
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: up the sideline and a coach is berating you. Some
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: guys like if you're in the league long enough, you
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: understand like, Okay, I know what to do, I know
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: how to fix it. But that could ruin a guys
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: entire rest of there's forty five minutes left in this game, yeah,
- 1:41:30Speaker 3: and he could just mentally ruin him for the rest
- 1:41:32Speaker 3: of the time. And so for me, that's a lot
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: because I just remember sitting there with a few coaches
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: and then watching them go at players who maybe gave
- 1:41:39Speaker 3: up a sack in the first series, which is the
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: worst feeling in the world, and then like second quarter
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: or another sack, and it's like, clearly he's having a
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: tough time right totally, like why the player cares so much?
- 1:41:50Speaker 4: So much coming from Polini, Like Polini would fucking get
- 1:41:53Speaker 4: in our asses. I remember the first preseason, like one
- 1:41:56Speaker 4: of the first preseason games.
- 1:41:57Speaker 10: See what you just said. That would have got me
- 1:41:59Speaker 10: a pause in a team meeting. Think about what you
- 1:42:01Speaker 10: just said, you know, pause, coach.
- 1:42:08Speaker 4: No, but I remember that was the first coach to
- 1:42:11Speaker 4: where it was like our first preseason game and I
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: missed the tackle. I think I was the crow flat
- 1:42:17Speaker 4: player in Cover three and I missed the tackle and
- 1:42:20Speaker 4: I just remember thinking, fuck, like they're gonna gonna get
- 1:42:24Speaker 4: my ass.
- 1:42:24Speaker 10: I'm just that's right. I say something a team meeting
- 1:42:28Speaker 10: that I don't even they guys take, and.
- 1:42:35Speaker 4: I just remember thinking like, damn, I'm probably gonna get cut.
- 1:42:37Speaker 4: Like all these things. You just beating yourself up because
- 1:42:38Speaker 4: you're worried about going to the sideline and seeing the
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: staff and how the staff is gonna respond because of
- 1:42:43Speaker 4: what I experienced in Nebraska. I remember being over the
- 1:42:45Speaker 4: sideline and my head was kind of down, and he
- 1:42:47Speaker 4: was like, com what do you do, Man, Get your
- 1:42:49Speaker 4: head up, Like, who gives a ship if you missed
- 1:42:50Speaker 4: that tackle? If you miss it, just miss it on
- 1:42:53Speaker 4: the outside legs because you got the hook cirl player
- 1:42:55Speaker 4: coming from inside out. Hey we're all good. Hey bro,
- 1:42:58Speaker 4: you're good, Like, just get back in it. I remember
- 1:43:00Speaker 4: thinking like, damn, it's okay to miss a tackle in
- 1:43:03Speaker 4: the NFL, like.
- 1:43:04Speaker 3: There was so much for you know, it probably wasn't
- 1:43:06Speaker 3: the message where he wanted you to hear.
- 1:43:08Speaker 10: I was like, oh shit, that's coaching. That is to
- 1:43:12Speaker 10: me what I thought was so cool because I saw
- 1:43:14Speaker 10: you you told that story and I remember when we
- 1:43:16Speaker 10: were all together, but when RA came on, and you
- 1:43:19Speaker 10: think about it, and I'll be honest with you guys too,
- 1:43:21Speaker 10: Like when I reflect back on it, you always know
- 1:43:24Speaker 10: who you want to be for people you love and
- 1:43:25Speaker 10: care about. But like, when I've been at my worst,
- 1:43:28Speaker 10: the shit's been a lot more about me than I realize,
- 1:43:31Speaker 10: and like you look back on it and it's like,
- 1:43:33Speaker 10: you know, when I've gotten angry or resentful, you know,
- 1:43:36Speaker 10: it's like, oh man, it's more transactional than it's ever
- 1:43:39Speaker 10: been and it's not transformational, and you're like, man, who
- 1:43:41Speaker 10: the hell have I become as a result of the chase?
- 1:43:44Speaker 10: And it's not anything personal, But it's like because of
- 1:43:47Speaker 10: your ego getting in the way, like you think it
- 1:43:49Speaker 10: really matters, and it's like you almost have to get
- 1:43:51Speaker 10: over yourself and that humility. But man, you like who
- 1:43:55Speaker 10: you are a lot more. Like I think it's such
- 1:43:57Speaker 10: a platform and such a mantle to be able to
- 1:44:00Speaker 10: you coach, and like when I've been operating at the
- 1:44:04Speaker 10: best for our guys, you're really doing the things like
- 1:44:07Speaker 10: where you're saying, man, I want to coach you guys
- 1:44:09Speaker 10: the way that I would want you guys to play.
- 1:44:11Speaker 10: What does that mean? Like, hey, let's fucking be courageous.
- 1:44:13Speaker 10: Is what is courage? It's doing what's right in spite
- 1:44:16Speaker 10: of your fears or even if it costs you something
- 1:44:19Speaker 10: like hey, you got some anxiety before. The things that
- 1:44:21Speaker 10: you care about are the things that That's why in
- 1:44:24Speaker 10: the locker room afterwards, Man, that feeling of when we
- 1:44:27Speaker 10: win that game and you know the amount of work
- 1:44:29Speaker 10: that's gone into it and we're able to share in
- 1:44:31Speaker 10: that experience. That's also why that fucking feeling in your
- 1:44:34Speaker 10: gut when you don't get it what that feels like.
- 1:44:38Speaker 10: But you know what I tell our guys, that's called
- 1:44:40Speaker 10: fucking living. You know the different like most people exist,
- 1:44:43Speaker 10: they're afraid to even put themselves in a position to
- 1:44:46Speaker 10: feel that range of emotions that we get the opportunity to.
- 1:44:50Speaker 10: And I coach from a place of fear. In a
- 1:44:52Speaker 10: lot of instances, and especially early on when we had
- 1:44:55Speaker 10: some success, I actually became fragile. You became more transactional
- 1:44:59Speaker 10: than trans informational. You became a fraud where you know
- 1:45:02Speaker 10: how to say the right things, but you're not really
- 1:45:04Speaker 10: feeling it. And in a lot of instances, not all
- 1:45:06Speaker 10: the time, but it took really going down and really
- 1:45:10Speaker 10: having that twenty two season to be like, man, I
- 1:45:12Speaker 10: don't really like who I am and there needs to
- 1:45:14Speaker 10: be some real work on, like consistently applying things where
- 1:45:18Speaker 10: these are skills and tools that you can develop to
- 1:45:21Speaker 10: be the person that you want to be as a
- 1:45:23Speaker 10: person and as a coach, and like being courageous. That
- 1:45:27Speaker 10: courage is a strong word, but you think about it,
- 1:45:29Speaker 10: it's like, okay, hey, raise your hand before we go
- 1:45:32Speaker 10: out for kickoff. If you're not feeling that anxiety, all right,
- 1:45:35Speaker 10: now what does that mean? Hey we're fucking alive, all right,
- 1:45:39Speaker 10: So lean into that. And I think what ends up
- 1:45:42Speaker 10: happening is is when you do say hey, I'm going
- 1:45:45Speaker 10: to do the things that are courageous. That builds self respect,
- 1:45:48Speaker 10: and you start doing it consistently, you build a callous
- 1:45:51Speaker 10: You build a resilience where it's like, all right, hey,
- 1:45:54Speaker 10: he might have got me at early sec I can't
- 1:45:56Speaker 10: wait to fucking respond, or hey, or then I'm looking
- 1:45:59Speaker 10: at all right, hey, how can I help give you
- 1:46:01Speaker 10: a nudge in the c area? Or what are the
- 1:46:03Speaker 10: different things that we can do like with raw like
- 1:46:05Speaker 10: let's solve the problem. Let's talk about what occurred, and
- 1:46:08Speaker 10: then how when this presents itself again, we can fix it.
- 1:46:11Speaker 10: Or let's just say, hey, man, like sometimes I put
- 1:46:14Speaker 10: guys in a bad spot. Am I bad?
- 1:46:16Speaker 4: That's on me?
- 1:46:16Speaker 10: Keep it moving, Or like if it's a defensive beater,
- 1:46:20Speaker 10: hey guys, you know, get back in the huddle and
- 1:46:22Speaker 10: play the next snap. You know they're not gonna beat
- 1:46:23Speaker 10: as consistently doing that. And it's like, but how can
- 1:46:26Speaker 10: you believe it? And how can those habits and those
- 1:46:28Speaker 10: core beliefs become like that's just who we are. Yeah,
- 1:46:33Speaker 10: you're you're juicing me everything you're saying it May fifteenth.
- 1:46:38Speaker 10: I got a peek at the right time. Yes, idea, exactly.
- 1:46:41Speaker 4: You will. You want to keep this little more tempered,
- 1:46:42Speaker 4: don't you?
- 1:46:43Speaker 10: But you know what, though, no, because I fucking bring
- 1:46:45Speaker 10: it every day like this. But but what I will say, though,
- 1:46:48Speaker 10: Taylor is cool is I'm passionate about this stuff because
- 1:46:52Speaker 10: I look back on it and there's been a lot
- 1:46:55Speaker 10: of moments, not a lot, you know, not always, but
- 1:46:57Speaker 10: where you're like, man, what a blessing it is to
- 1:47:00Speaker 10: get an opportunity to try to influence and affect positive
- 1:47:03Speaker 10: change and like I was talking about before we came on, Mike,
- 1:47:06Speaker 10: like my heart has changed because I've been around a
- 1:47:09Speaker 10: lot of special people, but because of my wife Veronica
- 1:47:11Speaker 10: and having these two boys, you know, being a dad
- 1:47:14Speaker 10: where you know, in a lot of instances before you
- 1:47:16Speaker 10: have that family, you realize kind of how selfish you
- 1:47:18Speaker 10: know it's your career ambitions. It's like like I used
- 1:47:21Speaker 10: to think it was so cool to do those things
- 1:47:23Speaker 10: at a young age, and I'm And that doesn't mean
- 1:47:26Speaker 10: I'm not grateful and not competitive, but I think there's
- 1:47:28Speaker 10: just a healthier perspective on like, you know, to talk
- 1:47:32Speaker 10: about Chris Peterson again, he said if he got back
- 1:47:34Speaker 10: to coaching and have one sign, who am I becoming
- 1:47:36Speaker 10: as a result of this chase? You know, and you
- 1:47:38Speaker 10: think about that like there's a lot of depth to that.
- 1:47:42Speaker 10: But it's like, all right, let's identify the things that
- 1:47:44Speaker 10: like when you're at your best or when you're the
- 1:47:46Speaker 10: most lit up, what does that look like? And how
- 1:47:50Speaker 10: can we consistently have those things that basically serve as
- 1:47:53Speaker 10: a compass for what you want to be personally and
- 1:47:55Speaker 10: professionally and live a life like when at the end
- 1:47:58Speaker 10: of the day, you're like, hey, it's not perfect, but
- 1:48:01Speaker 10: we're living right or we're doing the things that we
- 1:48:03Speaker 10: want to be able to do. And I think as
- 1:48:05Speaker 10: you become more consistent, you build skills in that, whether
- 1:48:08Speaker 10: that's being courageous, being present, being grateful, and like, those
- 1:48:13Speaker 10: things have been very personal to me because of some
- 1:48:17Speaker 10: of the tougher moments when you look back and you're like, man,
- 1:48:19Speaker 10: I didn't like that person that I was.
- 1:48:22Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're when you're sitting like first off, this
- 1:48:25Speaker 3: whole of this podcast has been modiversity, Like I feel
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: like I got the headphones in right now. I appreciate
- 1:48:30Speaker 3: I'm going to attack the day with an enthusiasm right now.
- 1:48:33Speaker 3: The way you're talking right now, he's the man too.
- 1:48:39Speaker 4: But when you so you're.
- 1:48:40Speaker 3: Talking about all these things that you've identified about yourself
- 1:48:42Speaker 3: a twenty twenty two season, I like who I was
- 1:48:44Speaker 3: and this piece of anniversary, the way this game goes
- 1:48:47Speaker 3: is like you're always on to the next thing and
- 1:48:49Speaker 3: you have very little time to reflect and be Okay,
- 1:48:52Speaker 3: where did I go wrong?
- 1:48:53Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:48:53Speaker 3: How did you like get to this point you are
- 1:48:55Speaker 3: now where you're ten years in and when did you
- 1:48:57Speaker 3: learn to identify these steps of being like, Kay, I
- 1:48:59Speaker 3: didn't like this, Yeah, and then what type of work
- 1:49:01Speaker 3: had to be put in? Because it's easy to sit
- 1:49:03Speaker 3: here and obviously we're not all finished products. But you've
- 1:49:06Speaker 3: had a massive success, You've done all these things. There's
- 1:49:07Speaker 3: a lot of coaches that are looking at you right
- 1:49:09Speaker 3: now and you're saying all this stuff that's like, oh fuck, yeah, I.
- 1:49:12Speaker 4: Want to be that Yeah.
- 1:49:12Speaker 3: And it's easy to put some headphones in be like
- 1:49:14Speaker 3: for this moment, for these fifteen minutes, I'm listening to this,
- 1:49:17Speaker 3: I can be that guy, right, But how do you
- 1:49:18Speaker 3: identify when adversity is really striking and you do feel
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: like shit, there's a piece of you it's like I
- 1:49:23Speaker 3: don't want to get that feeling like I just want
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: to take a nap and kind of make make sure
- 1:49:26Speaker 3: this shit goes away. How do you identify and then
- 1:49:28Speaker 3: attack those things? Yeah, to get you to the point
- 1:49:30Speaker 3: the way you're talking right now.
- 1:49:31Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it's such a good question, Taylor, because
- 1:49:35Speaker 10: here's what I would say, is we go I get
- 1:49:38Speaker 10: an opportunity to be a head coach at thirty, and
- 1:49:40Speaker 10: in a lot of instances, there was this youthful arrogance,
- 1:49:44Speaker 10: but this, you know, like ignorance is bliss, where man,
- 1:49:47Speaker 10: you don't know the things to worry about as you
- 1:49:49Speaker 10: accumulate experiences other than Man, I'm grateful as hell to
- 1:49:53Speaker 10: have the opportunity. We're gonna come in, we're gonna swing,
- 1:49:55Speaker 10: and I'm just focusing on football and these players. And
- 1:50:00Speaker 10: it was really pure that first year and really even
- 1:50:03Speaker 10: into the second year. And then we lose the super Bowl.
- 1:50:06Speaker 10: You know, you go to the Super Bowl our second year,
- 1:50:08Speaker 10: two thousand, you know, ninth February of nineteen, but it
- 1:50:11Speaker 10: was the eighteen season, and man, that was a humbling
- 1:50:14Speaker 10: night and it was too big for me. Like I'm
- 1:50:16Speaker 10: not afraid to admit that, like I didn't I didn't
- 1:50:19Speaker 10: see the game. I didn't adjust, and I feel like
- 1:50:20Speaker 10: I cost a lot of people, Like I feel like
- 1:50:23Speaker 10: I was a significant reason that we didn't come away
- 1:50:27Speaker 10: on top of that game. And that's made me better.
- 1:50:30Speaker 10: But as a result of how that I felt in
- 1:50:32Speaker 10: those moments, the lies I told myself were, I won't
- 1:50:35Speaker 10: be happy until we win a super Bowl. Now, so
- 1:50:37Speaker 10: then you're this maniac going into the nineteen season, and
- 1:50:40Speaker 10: we won nine games, but we actually missed the playoffs.
- 1:50:43Speaker 10: That was when they still had six teams and you know,
- 1:50:46Speaker 10: us in Pittsburgh, I think we're the only teams with
- 1:50:47Speaker 10: winning records that didn't make the playoffs that year. And
- 1:50:51Speaker 10: you know, I was I was off. I was edgy.
- 1:50:53Speaker 10: Go to the twenty season. You know, we have a
- 1:50:56Speaker 10: decent year. We ended losing the divisional round to the Packers.
- 1:50:59Speaker 10: But you're still you know, you know something's not really right.
- 1:51:03Speaker 10: Uh not all the time, but it's like you know,
- 1:51:05Speaker 10: you're you're becoming a little bit more transactional without even
- 1:51:08Speaker 10: realizing it. But you know you're off, but you haven't
- 1:51:10Speaker 10: had real adversity yet. And then you end up, you know,
- 1:51:14Speaker 10: winning the super Bowl. And what was special is there
- 1:51:16Speaker 10: was a lot of moments where the best that I
- 1:51:19Speaker 10: look back on it wasn't about winning a super Bowl,
- 1:51:21Speaker 10: but it was a true I wanted it for Andrew
- 1:51:24Speaker 10: Whitworth and Aaron Donald and Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford
- 1:51:28Speaker 10: and Higbee's, Rob Havenstein's, Odell's. You know, there was a
- 1:51:32Speaker 10: lot of play you know, Jalen Ramsey's like wet O
- 1:51:34Speaker 10: coming in in that last little month, and it was
- 1:51:37Speaker 10: really pure when it was about other people you know,
- 1:51:40Speaker 10: and then you look back on it, and then you
- 1:51:41Speaker 10: win a super Bowl and it was special, It was
- 1:51:44Speaker 10: really special. But I think there wasn't probably the appreciation
- 1:51:48Speaker 10: of the gratitude of like the relationships built in the
- 1:51:51Speaker 10: midst of that journey, you know, and then you have
- 1:51:53Speaker 10: that success, but you really hadn't had any adversity through
- 1:51:56Speaker 10: those five years. You know, you lose some games you're navigating,
- 1:51:59Speaker 10: but that's not reality, you know, professionally, and even what
- 1:52:02Speaker 10: I'm about to say, like, you know, losing and winning games,
- 1:52:04Speaker 10: I mean, people deal with way bigger stuff in life,
- 1:52:06Speaker 10: but to me, it was a big deal. So then
- 1:52:08Speaker 10: you go five and twelve, and my identity, whether I
- 1:52:12Speaker 10: realized it or not, was so fixated on winning and losing,
- 1:52:16Speaker 10: you know that it was like my self worth And
- 1:52:18Speaker 10: in a lot of instances I struggled with that when
- 1:52:20Speaker 10: I was playing too, where like your self worth is
- 1:52:22Speaker 10: based on your production and you kind of lose sight
- 1:52:25Speaker 10: of like what really matters to the people that matter?
- 1:52:27Speaker 10: And how can I make sure that I'm secure and
- 1:52:29Speaker 10: steady enough that like the people that I really want
- 1:52:32Speaker 10: to please are the people that love me unconditionally, And
- 1:52:34Speaker 10: like what are the things that I can control that
- 1:52:36Speaker 10: allow me to live a life where I'm improving, but
- 1:52:39Speaker 10: I'm also secure enough to be the person that I
- 1:52:41Speaker 10: want to be. And I wasn't that. But it took
- 1:52:44Speaker 10: that five and twelve year where you're really getting broken
- 1:52:47Speaker 10: down and I mean, I'm almost quick coaching, and you
- 1:52:49Speaker 10: could use the narrative that I was going to go
- 1:52:51Speaker 10: to media or whatever, but like the truth would have
- 1:52:53Speaker 10: been I was quitting because I couldn't handle the losing.
- 1:52:57Speaker 10: It was almost like a scarlet letter, you know, And
- 1:53:00Speaker 10: there was some cool moments of guys overcoming or whatever.
- 1:53:03Speaker 10: But you look back on it and you're like, you
- 1:53:05Speaker 10: like the person that you were when you think about it, Like, no,
- 1:53:08Speaker 10: I mean there was moments that you think about it,
- 1:53:09Speaker 10: it's like so crazy to me. I was like counting
- 1:53:12Speaker 10: down the days for that season to be over, like
- 1:53:16Speaker 10: like I what a fraud, you know, And then I
- 1:53:19Speaker 10: can remember this. There was an opportunity because you know,
- 1:53:23Speaker 10: we had had the Super Bowl win and then we
- 1:53:25Speaker 10: kind of kept a lot of the continuity in the
- 1:53:26Speaker 10: twenty two season and we had gotten ourselves financially where
- 1:53:30Speaker 10: we had to kind of straighten out the books and
- 1:53:31Speaker 10: we were gonna have to release a lot of good
- 1:53:33Speaker 10: players after the twenty two season, and we had a
- 1:53:35Speaker 10: bunch of injuries or whatever. I'm not even necessarily talking
- 1:53:38Speaker 10: about the five and twelve. I'm talking about like who
- 1:53:39Speaker 10: I was, and I didn't like that person, But it
- 1:53:43Speaker 10: took the results to accompany the work where you're really saying, like,
- 1:53:47Speaker 10: you know, you read about books or whatever, but like
- 1:53:50Speaker 10: you know, you weren't really built to handle this, and
- 1:53:52Speaker 10: you didn't apply the skills on a consistent basis to say, like,
- 1:53:56Speaker 10: I don't like who I am, and it's going to
- 1:53:57Speaker 10: affect me personally and professionally because my identity is so
- 1:54:01Speaker 10: tied up in something that really it ain't about you.
- 1:54:04Speaker 10: And you end up being able to say, you get
- 1:54:06Speaker 10: connected with Chris Pearson, my wife was a rock, my family.
- 1:54:10Speaker 10: But I mean, I have such appreciation for like, you know, coaches, ownership,
- 1:54:15Speaker 10: the support of friends, the Andrew Whitworse, you know, guys
- 1:54:18Speaker 10: like John Gordon, you know, just being around a lot
- 1:54:20Speaker 10: of people that were able to help kind of shape
- 1:54:23Speaker 10: the perspective of like, you know, I think you'll regret
- 1:54:26Speaker 10: it if you step away. And there was a lot
- 1:54:29Speaker 10: of instances where we're thinking that next year because of
- 1:54:31Speaker 10: the decisions we're gonna have to make. You know, it
- 1:54:33Speaker 10: would be easy because the odds were we weren't going
- 1:54:35Speaker 10: to be a very good team. And at least that's
- 1:54:37Speaker 10: what everybody would tell you if you want to write
- 1:54:39Speaker 10: your narrative before you even allow yourself to go attack
- 1:54:42Speaker 10: things with courage for lack of a better word. And
- 1:54:45Speaker 10: I'll never forget though. I remember explaining the situation to
- 1:54:48Speaker 10: my wife, Veronica, and she is so so tough, so steady,
- 1:54:54Speaker 10: so loving and considerate, but so real to me. And
- 1:54:57Speaker 10: she's so health you know, so independent, you know, born
- 1:55:00Speaker 10: and raised in Ukraine, and you talk about real perspective
- 1:55:03Speaker 10: from what her family's gone through and how she's handled it.
- 1:55:06Speaker 10: But I was explaining to her, you know, maybe I'll
- 1:55:08Speaker 10: step away. It's going to be a really tough upcoming season.
- 1:55:12Speaker 10: You know, maybe the situation you're explaining to you, like,
- 1:55:15Speaker 10: here my options on the tape, here are my options?
- 1:55:18Speaker 10: Had some media stuff.
- 1:55:19Speaker 3: You know, and Tom Brady massive.
- 1:55:23Speaker 4: We're not I'm just telling you the info is out there,
- 1:55:28Speaker 4: you know.
- 1:55:29Speaker 10: Yeah, that was after Super Bowl. That number lower is
- 1:55:32Speaker 10: after you go five or twelve, you know. But I'll
- 1:55:36Speaker 10: say this, though, you know, you had some opportunities and
- 1:55:39Speaker 10: and if I had done that, I would have conveniently
- 1:55:41Speaker 10: hid behind that, But the reality is I would have
- 1:55:43Speaker 10: been quitting, you know, And I'll never forget. I was
- 1:55:45Speaker 10: explaining this situation of my wife, and basically I was
- 1:55:50Speaker 10: trying to rationalize and justify why I should do it,
- 1:55:53Speaker 10: and and it's like, okay, let's step away, maybe even
- 1:55:56Speaker 10: come back to coaching. I was like, we're gonna have
- 1:55:58Speaker 10: a lot of tough decisions to make. And it coincided
- 1:56:02Speaker 10: with her being pregnant with our oldest Jordan, and and
- 1:56:05Speaker 10: I remember I was explaining it and she just kind
- 1:56:08Speaker 10: of looked at me and it was very loving and supportive,
- 1:56:10Speaker 10: but it was like, man, this is only coming from
- 1:56:12Speaker 10: your wife where it really landed the punch. And she's like,
- 1:56:15Speaker 10: you know, that never really sounded like the kind of
- 1:56:17Speaker 10: leader you wanted to be. And I was like boom,
- 1:56:22Speaker 10: and and it was awesome because.
- 1:56:25Speaker 4: The how did you receive that in the moment? You
- 1:56:30Speaker 4: know what?
- 1:56:34Speaker 10: Because because I'll tell you what, I was like, Wow,
- 1:56:36Speaker 10: in that moment. I know she loves me unconditionally, but
- 1:56:41Speaker 10: the love that we foundationally had for each other started
- 1:56:44Speaker 10: from things that we admired and respected, and this wasn't
- 1:56:48Speaker 10: one of those things. Now that doesn't mean she loved
- 1:56:50Speaker 10: me any less, but it's like, I'm going to help
- 1:56:52Speaker 10: you remember and remind yourself of who you want to be.
- 1:56:54Speaker 10: And I remember in that moment it hit me like
- 1:56:57Speaker 10: a ton of bricks. And I also remember thinking myself,
- 1:57:01Speaker 10: the most important thing I've always wanted to do was
- 1:57:03Speaker 10: be a father and be a husband, and I'll never
- 1:57:05Speaker 10: be able to look at my little boy when he
- 1:57:07Speaker 10: grows up and goes through adversy and say do as
- 1:57:09Speaker 10: I say, not as I did. And that was when
- 1:57:12Speaker 10: immediately you're like, I'll never be able to live with
- 1:57:14Speaker 10: myself if I did this. But it took a lot
- 1:57:17Speaker 10: of work and I am not perfect by any stretch,
- 1:57:20Speaker 10: but I like the person that I am a lot
- 1:57:23Speaker 10: better than the other person because I have people like
- 1:57:25Speaker 10: my wife and so many people that inspire me to
- 1:57:28Speaker 10: want to be right. But you know, like I mentioned
- 1:57:31Speaker 10: Chris Peterson, he was a huge connection for me because
- 1:57:34Speaker 10: he went through some similar things where you're maybe having
- 1:57:37Speaker 10: this success, but you get misguided in regards to like
- 1:57:40Speaker 10: your priorities, your perspective, societal scoreboard as opposed to your
- 1:57:44Speaker 10: personal scoreboard, that really lasts. And then, by the way,
- 1:57:47Speaker 10: when you really lean into that personal scoreboard, you know,
- 1:57:50Speaker 10: those other things usually have a way of taking care
- 1:57:52Speaker 10: of themselves. But it takes work, It takes an understanding
- 1:57:55Speaker 10: of like who you are, what kind of skills do
- 1:57:58Speaker 10: you need to be able to develop in terms of
- 1:58:00Speaker 10: your self talk, recovery, habits, the appropriate perspective. You know,
- 1:58:04Speaker 10: I don't know that I believe in the word balance,
- 1:58:06Speaker 10: but being able to prioritize things, you know, and being
- 1:58:10Speaker 10: present and being grateful, being courageous, and you know, it
- 1:58:14Speaker 10: was kind of it's been a journey and it's a
- 1:58:16Speaker 10: never ending one. That's what's different about you know, winning
- 1:58:18Speaker 10: and losing a game. You go prepare, you play a game,
- 1:58:21Speaker 10: there's a result onto the next one. Well, this is
- 1:58:24Speaker 10: really like this is you're always becoming becoming what a
- 1:58:28Speaker 10: better person or a better version of it, And it's
- 1:58:30Speaker 10: never linear, you guys, know, I mean, success never goes
- 1:58:33Speaker 10: like that. It goes like this, you know, and that's
- 1:58:37Speaker 10: what's been cool about it. But all in all, it
- 1:58:41Speaker 10: was the twenty two season where you really got broken down.
- 1:58:44Speaker 10: You're really able to be around people that supported you unconditionally,
- 1:58:47Speaker 10: and then you're forced to put the work in to say, like,
- 1:58:50Speaker 10: all right, now there's some real evidence of I don't
- 1:58:53Speaker 10: like this person, and you got to be able to
- 1:58:55Speaker 10: make a choice of what kind of life you want
- 1:58:57Speaker 10: to live.
- 1:58:57Speaker 4: I love that story too with your wife because or
- 1:59:00Speaker 4: not you like it and that cool though question. It
- 1:59:02Speaker 4: forces you to look at yourself as closely as possible, Yeah,
- 1:59:05Speaker 4: to identify all.
- 1:59:06Speaker 10: Of these things, and it's like, you think about it, right,
- 1:59:08Speaker 10: and I bet you guys have this type of relationship
- 1:59:10Speaker 10: the people that I love the most, Like, I think
- 1:59:13Speaker 10: one of the biggest flaws that I had when I
- 1:59:14Speaker 10: was a you know, early on in our tenure is,
- 1:59:17Speaker 10: you know, especially being a young coach, is like that
- 1:59:19Speaker 10: balance between being liked and respected, you know, and leadership
- 1:59:24Speaker 10: is inevitably lonely. But you what I've realized over time
- 1:59:27Speaker 10: is you you have to make a lot of tough
- 1:59:29Speaker 10: decisions and have a lot of tough conversations. But that's
- 1:59:32Speaker 10: part of being courageous as a coach is loving people
- 1:59:35Speaker 10: enough to keep it real with them because most people
- 1:59:37Speaker 10: can handle it. What most people really get pissed off
- 1:59:39Speaker 10: about is being caught off guard, you know, and as
- 1:59:42Speaker 10: long as you can really say, the foundation of everything
- 1:59:44Speaker 10: that is trust, and so you need those truth tellers.
- 1:59:48Speaker 10: That's what Veronica was for me. You know, are do
- 1:59:50Speaker 10: you have those truth tellers? And I think about all
- 1:59:53Speaker 10: the impactful relationships that I have, it's people love me
- 1:59:57Speaker 10: enough to tell me what I need to hear, not
- 1:59:59Speaker 10: what I want to hear. And sometimes it's hard to hear.
- 2:00:02Speaker 10: But those people that are really special, they have a
- 2:00:04Speaker 10: way of disarming you in the midst of giving you
- 2:00:07Speaker 10: hard information. Like Veronica said it in a way that
- 2:00:10Speaker 10: it really it landed the punch, for lack of a
- 2:00:13Speaker 10: better word, in terms of it wasn't like oh wow,
- 2:00:16Speaker 10: but it was like, man, I want to be better
- 2:00:19Speaker 10: for her and for Jordan, and like that's not the
- 2:00:22Speaker 10: person that she fell in love with, and that's not
- 2:00:25Speaker 10: the person that I want to be. That's a cool
- 2:00:27Speaker 10: thing where she inspired me to want to be better.
- 2:00:30Speaker 10: And then you start to realize, like, man, when you
- 2:00:33Speaker 10: have hard conversations with people, that's represented some of the
- 2:00:35Speaker 10: biggest breakthroughs in relationships that I have, whether it be
- 2:00:39Speaker 10: professionally or personally, And I look at it, it's all
- 2:00:41Speaker 10: the same, you know, because we have to make a
- 2:00:44Speaker 10: lot of tough decisions. But what I would hope that
- 2:00:47Speaker 10: guys say, and like one of my favorite things that
- 2:00:49Speaker 10: I hear people say about here is is it feels
- 2:00:52Speaker 10: like a collegiate atmosphere. You know, guys really enjoy being here.
- 2:00:55Speaker 10: You know, like we got around the building like urgent enjoyment.
- 2:00:58Speaker 10: It's like, yeah, it's going to be. There's gonna be
- 2:01:00Speaker 10: some urgency, Like we're not fucking around with our football
- 2:01:03Speaker 10: and anything that's worth it takes hard work, but I
- 2:01:06Speaker 10: do believe this it can still be enjoyable easy. No,
- 2:01:09Speaker 10: not easy, but we're gonna work hard. But man, we're
- 2:01:12Speaker 10: gonna enjoy the shit out of this blessing that we
- 2:01:15Speaker 10: have this opportunity to be at our best every day,
- 2:01:18Speaker 10: this opportunity to be present, to be grateful, to be courageous,
- 2:01:21Speaker 10: the enjoyment of each other's success, the enjoyment of the
- 2:01:24Speaker 10: challenges that accompany it. You know. So then you start
- 2:01:27Speaker 10: reframing like all right, I got that anxiety or if
- 2:01:29Speaker 10: I get beat, all right, you know what, I can't
- 2:01:31Speaker 10: wait for that next snap, you know, that setback that's
- 2:01:35Speaker 10: a setup for me to come back and show what
- 2:01:36Speaker 10: I'm really about. And so like, how many ways can
- 2:01:38Speaker 10: you look to celebrate courage in a manner that's reflective
- 2:01:42Speaker 10: of like, hey, calling people up, not out, and then
- 2:01:46Speaker 10: you start to build that callus over time. And that
- 2:01:48Speaker 10: was like one of my favorite things about last year's team.
- 2:01:51Speaker 10: We came up short and Seattle was an awesome team,
- 2:01:54Speaker 10: but we had a lot of hard losses last year
- 2:01:57Speaker 10: where it was you know, like the way that those
- 2:01:59Speaker 10: games went down where we lost them. You look at
- 2:02:01Speaker 10: our first loss this season against Philly, it was wild,
- 2:02:03Speaker 10: but our guys were resilient. They were courageous enough. Let's
- 2:02:06Speaker 10: get up off the mat, let's go swing again, you know,
- 2:02:09Speaker 10: and you're gonna have to kill us to put us down,
- 2:02:11Speaker 10: But we were courageous and I'd rather I'd rather us
- 2:02:15Speaker 10: fail valiantly then succeed and be passive, you know, because
- 2:02:20Speaker 10: that's not how we want to live.
- 2:02:23Speaker 3: Then some of the games you brought that that Eagles
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: game kind of nuts. The way that all went down,
- 2:02:28Speaker 3: You think, yeah, that was crazy. The Thursday night game
- 2:02:30Speaker 3: against San Francisco, whether that.
- 2:02:32Speaker 10: Was crazy, yeah, But if you really go through all
- 2:02:35Speaker 10: five of our regular season losses, I mean, they were
- 2:02:38Speaker 10: all like I mean, they just gut wrench ship, you know.
- 2:02:43Speaker 10: But that's where that's like surely when we got in
- 2:02:50Speaker 10: we ran the ball where tend to get to second
- 2:02:56Speaker 10: and three because I'm like, all right, we're good, you know,
- 2:02:59Speaker 10: and it I I thought to myself, Man, I must
- 2:03:02Speaker 10: have taken a quailude because this can't be real life
- 2:03:05Speaker 10: when I saw that, when I saw that field goal
- 2:03:08Speaker 10: get blocked. But I'll tell you this, so that that
- 2:03:11Speaker 10: shit sucked in the moment, but our group used all
- 2:03:15Speaker 10: those to calist them the right way and we came
- 2:03:17Speaker 10: up short. But like that's one of my all time
- 2:03:19Speaker 10: favorite teams because of the way that they competed, because
- 2:03:23Speaker 10: of who they became, and we've got a lot of
- 2:03:25Speaker 10: continuity and but you got to come together as a
- 2:03:28Speaker 10: team again, you know. Like that's where I get a
- 2:03:29Speaker 10: kick out of, you know, with the schedule coming out,
- 2:03:31Speaker 10: Oh this is a tough schedule. When did you guys
- 2:03:33Speaker 10: ever play an easy schedule in the NFL?
- 2:03:35Speaker 5: Never?
- 2:03:36Speaker 10: Right, you know, and it's like.
- 2:03:39Speaker 3: Eyes all the ones You're like, okay, this team should
- 2:03:41Speaker 3: be you play the Jets when the Jets.
- 2:03:43Speaker 4: Haven't where the Jaguars are down. You're like, you end
- 2:03:46Speaker 4: up losing totally. How did that? They were supposed to
- 2:03:49Speaker 4: your coach? You kind of break it down four games
- 2:03:50Speaker 4: at a time, Yeah, game seasons at a time. Right,
- 2:03:54Speaker 4: by the way, A great schedule release on your guys's part.
- 2:03:56Speaker 4: Shout out to the RAMS social team.
- 2:03:58Speaker 10: I didn't see it what they do.
- 2:04:00Speaker 4: It was kind of like a Napoleon Dynamite. Nice schedule release.
- 2:04:03Speaker 4: It was you didn't see your teams?
- 2:04:05Speaker 10: I did not artist it was I knew what the
- 2:04:09Speaker 10: schedule was. The Chargers. I mean, they don't pull any punches.
- 2:04:13Speaker 4: Can I see this?
- 2:04:13Speaker 3: Have you seen Napoleon Dynamite.
- 2:04:15Speaker 10: I have seen Napoleon.
- 2:04:16Speaker 3: What's your take on that movie? You think it's a
- 2:04:17Speaker 3: good movie?
- 2:04:18Speaker 10: You know, I would say this. I think there's a
- 2:04:23Speaker 10: there's certain parts, but like that type of humor typically
- 2:04:26Speaker 10: doesn't resonate with me.
- 2:04:27Speaker 3: Hey, can I have be a one hundred percent honest
- 2:04:28Speaker 3: We were we were driving from the airport last night.
- 2:04:30Speaker 3: Napoleon Dynamoe came up, and I know this might be
- 2:04:33Speaker 3: a cold take. I don't think it's that great of
- 2:04:34Speaker 3: a movie.
- 2:04:35Speaker 4: It's not that funny.
- 2:04:35Speaker 10: No, the Uncle Rico stuff, that's kind of funny because
- 2:04:40Speaker 10: it's funnier stuff. It's like, you know, and I'm not
- 2:04:43Speaker 10: diminishing people that think that's funny, but it's like you
- 2:04:45Speaker 10: choosing that na that that you said you don't.
- 2:04:47Speaker 4: Think you don't think Rex is funny talking about a
- 2:04:49Speaker 4: roundhouse kick to your face and these bad boys, that's funny.
- 2:04:52Speaker 4: That's a funny moment. Which one he's at the he
- 2:04:56Speaker 4: goes into the karate, he goes into the mixed martial
- 2:04:58Speaker 4: arts and doing like he's like Rex is teaching him.
- 2:05:02Speaker 10: Clearly resonate with me. If I had to ask you
- 2:05:05Speaker 10: about that part. Here's what I would say that give me.
- 2:05:07Speaker 10: The type of humor is not something that I'm like,
- 2:05:11Speaker 10: you know, like I think like Wolf of Wall Street
- 2:05:14Speaker 10: that's a funny movie.
- 2:05:15Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great movie. But you just brought up
- 2:05:19Speaker 4: moment comedy. Yes, it's not a comedy. Hey tell me
- 2:05:25Speaker 4: that there's some funny ship how about that? Leonardo DiCaprio, Huh.
- 2:05:29Speaker 10: You don't think that's funny? The Lemons hit Late and Money, Hell,
- 2:05:37Speaker 10: that's funny. That's that's you don't think it's funny. When
- 2:05:39Speaker 10: he says shop, how about I chop your What do
- 2:05:42Speaker 10: you know about that. What about wedding crass movie? See
- 2:05:46Speaker 10: that type of humor. Hey, now we're speaking the same language. Okay,
- 2:05:49Speaker 10: Napuleyon Dynamite. I'll see you after the movie. Man, let
- 2:05:51Speaker 10: me know what we're doing.
- 2:05:55Speaker 4: I get it. Kevin's natural foods.
- 2:05:58Speaker 10: Clearly, clearly you could tell this and resonate with Will Man.
- 2:06:01Speaker 10: He's he's he's ready to ready to vice tackle me
- 2:06:05Speaker 10: right now.
- 2:06:06Speaker 3: Just say, first off, wolf Wall straight hold on wolf
- 2:06:09Speaker 3: st funny moments.
- 2:06:11Speaker 10: Correct, but.
- 2:06:15Speaker 4: A give this all my chest. If Napoleon Dynamite, a
- 2:06:17Speaker 4: humor like that came out again, I would think it
- 2:06:19Speaker 4: was not good. Like that was like just that moment
- 2:06:22Speaker 4: in time. That's the only time a movie like that
- 2:06:24Speaker 4: could come out. Then I feel like the world laughed
- 2:06:27Speaker 4: at it, Okay, and I think, I mean, there was
- 2:06:30Speaker 4: a lot of fans of it.
- 2:06:31Speaker 10: So I'll give you that. I mean that that is true.
- 2:06:34Speaker 10: But maybe me and Taylor a little different than you.
- 2:06:36Speaker 4: When he takes the takes the burrito off the porch
- 2:06:40Speaker 4: and throws it at Napoleon when he's not not famorable, Oh.
- 2:06:44Speaker 3: Dude, any when the push on is aw, it's just
- 2:06:47Speaker 3: not that it's like all right, you've lost me. What
- 2:06:50Speaker 3: is if I said to you wedding crashers.
- 2:06:51Speaker 10: Yeah, great, that outstanding, I said to you the other
- 2:06:54Speaker 10: guys great, Yeah, I like hold on, hold on, like
- 2:06:58Speaker 10: that part I had to think about. But yes, I
- 2:07:01Speaker 10: see I think like that's Mark Wahlberg.
- 2:07:03Speaker 4: Right, Mark Wahlberg will like that.
- 2:07:05Speaker 5: I thought that.
- 2:07:08Speaker 10: Some yes, but like you know, some.
- 2:07:10Speaker 3: Know, Okay, hold on now, let's let's let's back up. Yeah,
- 2:07:13Speaker 3: let's just take a quick let's put the brakes Anchorman two,
- 2:07:16Speaker 3: I understand that expression.
- 2:07:18Speaker 4: But one one's incredible.
- 2:07:22Speaker 10: I'm Ron Burgundy, so you know the movie.
- 2:07:25Speaker 4: I do know the movie.
- 2:07:29Speaker 10: Every now and then when I'm having to do like
- 2:07:30Speaker 10: a teleprompter read, you know, and I could feel it's
- 2:07:33Speaker 10: getting stale in the room, you know, I'll be like,
- 2:07:35Speaker 10: I'm fucking Ron Burgundy. Where the fuck did that come from?
- 2:07:39Speaker 10: But he is, uh no that that part? Now there
- 2:07:42Speaker 10: are some parts, but yes, for the most part, I
- 2:07:44Speaker 10: thought that was that was a good one.
- 2:07:47Speaker 4: You know.
- 2:07:48Speaker 10: Yeah, but like then the one the same guy from
- 2:07:50Speaker 10: the point Dynamite and he's a good actor. Some not,
- 2:07:53Speaker 10: but like when he was in a movie with Will Ferreward.
- 2:07:55Speaker 10: They're doing like the roller skating not funny?
- 2:07:57Speaker 4: I agree?
- 2:07:57Speaker 10: What was that movie?
- 2:07:58Speaker 4: Hold? Oh wait wait wait Cold Take Cold Time About
- 2:08:05Speaker 4: Time Out? That is one of the more underrated comedies. Yeah,
- 2:08:09Speaker 4: I like Blake. That movie is so fun. I didn't
- 2:08:14Speaker 4: even realize that was the Napoleon Dynamite? Guy? Is it now?
- 2:08:18Speaker 4: Is it?
- 2:08:18Speaker 10: Though?
- 2:08:19Speaker 4: Listen?
- 2:08:20Speaker 10: I didn't be wrong? No, no, no, yeah. So like
- 2:08:22Speaker 10: I'm like, you know, maybe I'm I'm saying I didn't
- 2:08:25Speaker 10: like Napoleon Dynamite. So I can't say, like, you know
- 2:08:28Speaker 10: that comes on? You're like you're watching that.
- 2:08:29Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not.
- 2:08:30Speaker 10: I'm not present for.
- 2:08:31Speaker 4: Me the Napoleon Dynamo. I was like lighting in a
- 2:08:33Speaker 4: bottle at that time that moment.
- 2:08:35Speaker 5: What movie?
- 2:08:35Speaker 4: What is if?
- 2:08:36Speaker 3: I like, if we're gonna come to your house, I'm
- 2:08:37Speaker 3: sure you have a nice TV. We can watch a movie.
- 2:08:40Speaker 3: We sit down a few TV. We're gonna sit down,
- 2:08:43Speaker 3: You're gonna put a film on for us?
- 2:08:44Speaker 4: What kind of movie? I mean, like.
- 2:08:47Speaker 10: It's a watch watch it over and over again? I
- 2:08:51Speaker 10: mean movie. We were like, and that's not people aren't
- 2:08:54Speaker 10: really watching as many movies as of late.
- 2:08:56Speaker 4: But how about TV TV? I don't want to go
- 2:08:59Speaker 4: down the TV route, can what are.

- 2:09:02Speaker 10: What are you guys watching right now?
- 2:09:04Speaker 4: Right now, I'll tell you this.
- 2:09:05Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of watching Game of Thrones for
- 2:09:07Speaker 3: the first time.
- 2:09:10Speaker 4: Here's do you Have you not seen Game of Thrones?
- 2:09:12Speaker 10: I have really got into it. Well, no, I would
- 2:09:17Speaker 10: say this to stay consistent throughout the whole thing was
- 2:09:22Speaker 10: there were parts where you know, you're kind of going
- 2:09:25Speaker 10: back and it was such a crazy My wife got
- 2:09:26Speaker 10: into it, so I was watching it with her. But
- 2:09:29Speaker 10: if you said, like, do I typically love all that
- 2:09:32Speaker 10: kind of you know, those types of settings and scenarios,
- 2:09:36Speaker 10: That's not typically something I would watch. But there was
- 2:09:38Speaker 10: parts of it that I'm like, yeah, there's some cool
- 2:09:40Speaker 10: stuff going on here. It definitely was, Oh listen, I
- 2:09:45Speaker 10: am a dipshit so so like definitely over my head
- 2:09:48Speaker 10: is very true.
- 2:09:50Speaker 3: Coach guy, It's like miracle remember the Titans Friday Night
- 2:09:54Speaker 3: Lights Like those are the movies sports would have to be.
- 2:10:01Speaker 4: You have to be so present watching Thrones because there's
- 2:10:03Speaker 4: it's just so much but you know, he's thinking of plays,
- 2:10:07Speaker 4: he's thinking about what we gotta do tomorrow.
- 2:10:08Speaker 10: There are some good you know, there are there are
- 2:10:11Speaker 10: some good shows though, where you can kind of just
- 2:10:12Speaker 10: get away. But I mean I do like those kind
- 2:10:15Speaker 10: of movies. I like a good little laugh. I mean, shoot,
- 2:10:18Speaker 10: you know, like it was funny. I got a chance
- 2:10:20Speaker 10: to go to an Arsenal match. They played the semi
- 2:10:23Speaker 10: finals of the Champions League at the Emirates. Our ownership
- 2:10:26Speaker 10: group owns Arsenal went out there. That was a really
- 2:10:28Speaker 10: cool experience, and somehow we came up on the topic
- 2:10:31Speaker 10: of Ted Lasso, you know, and it's like, man, I uh,
- 2:10:34Speaker 10: I've I've appreciated and enjoyed that show, but usually when
- 2:10:38Speaker 10: I'm watching Ted Lasso, Man, I'm pretty dark right now,
- 2:10:41Speaker 10: you know, just making like I'm like, man, I'm having
- 2:10:48Speaker 10: a tough time.
- 2:10:48Speaker 3: Some inspiration, going through a breakout, something that's happening in life.
- 2:10:53Speaker 3: I gotta put this show right now.
- 2:10:54Speaker 5: You know.
- 2:10:55Speaker 10: Or like your reference, maybe I call a duo play
- 2:10:57Speaker 10: on fourth and one and we just get rejected against
- 2:10:59Speaker 10: the Niner on Thursday night. Hey, you know what I'm
- 2:11:01Speaker 10: watching Friday, Ted last there are You know, Ice is great,
- 2:11:11Speaker 10: So you know what's cool about this? I've gotten a
- 2:11:14Speaker 10: note d I got here as much cool though Paradise
- 2:11:17Speaker 10: all right, So Dan Fogelman, the writer of this show.
- 2:11:21Speaker 10: He's working on an upcoming deal that's coming out about
- 2:11:24Speaker 10: you know it's it's called The Land. It's about the
- 2:11:26Speaker 10: Cleveland Browns. He's doing that. This guy's got awesome range.
- 2:11:29Speaker 10: Kars need Less, his wife is working on it. It's
- 2:11:31Speaker 10: currently being filmed. But Dan Fogelman is an awesome writer.
- 2:11:36Speaker 10: Got a chance to spend some time with him. He
- 2:11:38Speaker 10: came to our draft a year ago as they're kind
- 2:11:40Speaker 10: of just getting familiar with all right, how do we
- 2:11:41Speaker 10: make this feel real and authentic? And Karas served as
- 2:11:44Speaker 10: a you know, cool sounding board on the set and
- 2:11:47Speaker 10: on the show. Well, Dan was at the league meetings,
- 2:11:49Speaker 10: he flew back with us. He flew back with me
- 2:11:51Speaker 10: and artists and and it was cool to be able
- 2:11:54Speaker 10: to kind of hear his story. And it coincided with
- 2:11:56Speaker 10: us watching Paradise and then I I was a this
- 2:11:59Speaker 10: is us guy. I mean, I'll do the emotional thing.
- 2:12:00Speaker 10: I don't know if you guys watch that show, but
- 2:12:02Speaker 10: he wrote that as well. So I've gotten into his
- 2:12:05Speaker 10: shows and he's an awesome dude. And then Taylor Sheridan,
- 2:12:09Speaker 10: I think the stuff that he writes is really cool. Yeah,
- 2:12:12Speaker 10: are you big land like season two was, it wasn't
- 2:12:16Speaker 10: as good. Well, the first season was such a banger.
- 2:12:19Speaker 10: I mean, now, hey, there's some funny lines in that
- 2:12:22Speaker 10: maybe not a human maybe not. Those are some like
- 2:12:27Speaker 10: all timeline.
- 2:12:28Speaker 3: A lot of leg and season two, Taylor Sheridan has
- 2:12:30Speaker 3: a choke hold on Paramount right now. So his writing, he's,
- 2:12:34Speaker 3: i mean, does an incredible job. He goes to the
- 2:12:36Speaker 3: next thing and then other writers take over.
- 2:12:37Speaker 10: Yeah, no, he's he's really good.
- 2:12:42Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't tell me. You're into the the senior Home,
- 2:12:46Speaker 4: which one the wife and daughter and layman going to
- 2:12:48Speaker 4: the senior home all the time.
- 2:12:49Speaker 10: That's outstanding. No, bro, Yeah it's funny, you know it.
- 2:12:54Speaker 10: I get a little lag, are you saying compared to
- 2:12:59Speaker 10: year one?
- 2:13:00Speaker 4: Yeah, like, bro, we want the oil, we want the cartel,

- 2:14:49Speaker 3: Being in LA for as long as you have, have
- 2:14:50Speaker 3: you been approached about possible cameos and dipping your toe
- 2:14:53Speaker 3: a little bit.
- 2:14:54Speaker 10: There's been early on, you know, like the Ballers thing
- 2:14:58Speaker 10: when they were doing Ballers, you know, getting to know
- 2:15:00Speaker 10: the Rock and you know, and Glazer and those guys.
- 2:15:03Speaker 10: But it's uh, a little bit here and there. Yeah,

- 2:15:19Speaker 3: He grew up on Campbells, grew up on Campbell's and.
- 2:15:23Speaker 10: Right top, I will say this when we when we
- 2:15:25Speaker 10: first did we haven't done it in a while, because
- 2:15:27Speaker 10: you know when I did that the year before and
- 2:15:29Speaker 10: then they're airing those every year. During the twenty two season,
- 2:15:32Speaker 10: I said, I'm never doing it again. Man, every Thursday
- 2:15:34Speaker 10: night game, it's just showing and you just look like
- 2:15:36Speaker 10: the biggest dude ever.
- 2:15:39Speaker 3: When there's a player who's having a rough go that season,
- 2:15:42Speaker 3: but the season prior was like, oh, he's probably gonna
- 2:15:44Speaker 3: be somebody. And then they're just throwing interceptions or really
- 2:15:47Speaker 3: shipping the bell and then like their commercial comes up,
- 2:15:49Speaker 3: it's like, oh, you can't get away from it, right,
- 2:15:53Speaker 3: Let's just stick to the speaking engagements in the offseason.
- 2:15:55Speaker 10: Let's not do your you know, let's not let's not
- 2:15:58Speaker 10: do that.
- 2:15:58Speaker 4: Do you uh do you see our game? I didn't. Man,
- 2:16:02Speaker 4: your memory is not Your memory is not what they say.
- 2:16:04Speaker 10: Oh no, it's definitely not.
- 2:16:07Speaker 4: That. We had a Paradise cameo, which from it was
- 2:16:11Speaker 4: season two episode hard to Miss it when when like
- 2:16:16Speaker 4: the the Mailman the stalk, like the stalker mailman guy,
- 2:16:20Speaker 4: he's like watching it all go down and unfold and
- 2:16:22Speaker 4: they cut to the TV and it's us on the
- 2:16:24Speaker 4: get upset and Greeny delivers a couple of lines and
- 2:16:27Speaker 4: we're sitting there and we just got a little turn.
- 2:16:30Speaker 3: I had to ye, sir, can you not turn your
- 2:16:32Speaker 3: head so fast?
- 2:16:33Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 2:16:33Speaker 4: I got you? Got you? Whether do we do a couple?
- 2:16:35Speaker 4: When do you always do that? October? Yeah? Because they
- 2:16:38Speaker 4: wanted me to shave my head for it, so you know,
- 2:16:41Speaker 4: method method actor. Yeah, yeah, you guys, watch yourself. That
- 2:16:46Speaker 4: we're talking about came. Oh yeah, absolutely, he's watch a
- 2:16:51Speaker 4: battle Camp on Netflix.
- 2:16:53Speaker 10: Uh, I'm familiar with it. I watched a little bit,
- 2:16:56Speaker 10: but I saw, you know what, here's the thing I
- 2:16:58Speaker 10: would say I taught the host was the ship. Yeah, honestly, I.
- 2:17:04Speaker 3: Will say that's bad.
- 2:17:06Speaker 10: No, it's it was actually a bad reference. But I'm joking.
- 2:17:11Speaker 4: You know.
- 2:17:11Speaker 10: I watched. I did tune in because I saw, Hey,
- 2:17:14Speaker 10: Taylor lawan host in battle Camp by flip it on.
- 2:17:17Speaker 10: I'm like, he's the man not sure about these contestants,
- 2:17:20Speaker 10: so but.
- 2:17:26Speaker 4: Clip that.
- 2:17:26Speaker 10: Keep it doing that.
- 2:17:29Speaker 3: I mean, like it was so much fun.
- 2:17:30Speaker 4: It happened like it was like what three weeks.
- 2:17:32Speaker 3: I kind of heard about it and then I kind
- 2:17:34Speaker 3: of brought it to Whill and I was like, this
- 2:17:35Speaker 3: is kind of a thing maybe, and I did like
- 2:17:37Speaker 3: one read for them, and they're like, you're the guy.
- 2:17:39Speaker 3: You're getting on the plane in two weeks to Mexico City.
- 2:17:41Speaker 3: And I was out there. That's for a whole entire month.
- 2:17:44Speaker 3: But it was like Mexico City and then like an
- 2:17:46Speaker 3: hour outside of Mexico City up the Mountain Cartel area.
- 2:17:50Speaker 3: It was there was some some stuff that kind of
- 2:17:52Speaker 3: went down out there, but like it was so interesting
- 2:17:54Speaker 3: because it was just it was just different and like
- 2:17:56Speaker 3: being on set, all the contestants were already on Netflix shows,
- 2:17:59Speaker 3: so they kind of knew what was going to happen,
- 2:18:01Speaker 3: how things worked. And then every day I was kind
- 2:18:03Speaker 3: of like it took me like twenty days to like
- 2:18:05Speaker 3: really figure out, Okay, this is kind of the schedule
- 2:18:07Speaker 3: and this is what happens. But I'd show up every
- 2:18:09Speaker 3: day and be like, hey, did you hear this happened
- 2:18:10Speaker 3: last night?
- 2:18:11Speaker 4: This? And then they'd give me all the tea and
- 2:18:13Speaker 4: the draw.
- 2:18:13Speaker 10: So how much interaction would you have with them or
- 2:18:15Speaker 10: was it pretty much exclusive to kind of when you're
- 2:18:17Speaker 10: coming in And yeah, it was direction.
- 2:18:19Speaker 3: So we do like a day shoot where we would
- 2:18:21Speaker 3: shoot from like nine, like nine to five where we
- 2:18:23Speaker 3: do all like you know, the events that would take place,
- 2:18:26Speaker 3: like where they would be on the wall or whatever,
- 2:18:28Speaker 3: and then I wouldn't see them again to the following
- 2:18:30Speaker 3: night when we would do the wheel ceremony where one
- 2:18:32Speaker 3: of them get eliminated. Sure, so the only time I
- 2:18:33Speaker 3: really had an interaction with them was when we were shooting.
- 2:18:36Speaker 3: But we would do like I would do my whole
- 2:18:38Speaker 3: dialogue and then we'd reset cameras and I'd redo the dialogue,
- 2:18:41Speaker 3: so there'd be like ten fifteen minutes of them like
- 2:18:44Speaker 3: resetting things up where I'm kind of just like standing
- 2:18:46Speaker 3: at a spot, and eventually I'm like, I don't want
- 2:18:48Speaker 3: to just stare at you guys. So I got to
- 2:18:49Speaker 3: know them a little bit and I was like, probably
- 2:18:51Speaker 3: more engaging with them than most hosts who have been
- 2:18:53Speaker 3: in the game.
- 2:18:54Speaker 10: But then it was good though.
- 2:18:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing it. It
- 2:18:57Speaker 3: was one of those like I don't know where I'd
- 2:18:58Speaker 3: find time to do it again, but most fun, you know, Yeah,
- 2:19:02Speaker 3: it was the process that was like, it was kind
- 2:19:04Speaker 3: of a blast, just be like, oh yo, I was
- 2:19:06Speaker 3: a host of a Netflix show, right, I think that was.
- 2:19:08Speaker 10: Just that is cool. What's what's cool is is you
- 2:19:11Speaker 10: guys have done such a great job with this that
- 2:19:14Speaker 10: it's opened up other opportunities. Like I mean when you
- 2:19:18Speaker 10: guys first started this, because I was thinking about this
- 2:19:20Speaker 10: before I came on, What was the kind of the
- 2:19:22Speaker 10: thought process from the jump? And like can you believe
- 2:19:25Speaker 10: like where it is now? Like how did it really originate?
- 2:19:30Speaker 3: Does it just answer your for the last part of
- 2:19:32Speaker 3: your question is no, I personally I never thought it
- 2:19:36Speaker 3: would be what it is today. I just thought it
- 2:19:37Speaker 3: was going to be my boy wanted to do a podcast.
- 2:19:40Speaker 3: I'm like, that sounds like fun.
- 2:19:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't aware that it opened up the
- 2:19:45Speaker 4: doors that it's opened. But It's like when I was
- 2:19:48Speaker 4: in Washington, I was journal about like having a podcast
- 2:19:51Speaker 4: because I love listening to podcasts.
- 2:19:53Speaker 10: Yeah, and so I'm just thinking what podcasts were you
- 2:19:55Speaker 10: listening to at the time?
- 2:19:56Speaker 4: Though, I listened to Rogan Ben Greenfield, Oh, some comedy podcasts,
- 2:20:02Speaker 4: Bigger Pockets, trying to get into real estate. Sure, Like
- 2:20:05Speaker 4: I just love listening to people break down the ins
- 2:20:07Speaker 4: and outs of whatever their field.
- 2:20:09Speaker 10: That was the thing it always struck me about him.
- 2:20:11Speaker 10: He had range, like you know where there was obviously
- 2:20:14Speaker 10: a high capacity for the game, but there was some
- 2:20:16Speaker 10: depth and range in terms of other things he was
- 2:20:18Speaker 10: interested in, like and that's as I was very impressed
- 2:20:23Speaker 10: with that because I lack range.
- 2:20:25Speaker 3: You know what's impressive about that too, is like if
- 2:20:28Speaker 3: you're an undrafted cat, like you would think like you
- 2:20:30Speaker 3: need to be one hundred percent involved with this, but
- 2:20:32Speaker 3: being able to be successful in the thing that people
- 2:20:34Speaker 3: basically said, hey, you won't be successful, and but to
- 2:20:36Speaker 3: have the wherewithal to be, like, I need to make
- 2:20:38Speaker 3: sure that I'm diversifying my portfolio, like understanding real estate,
- 2:20:42Speaker 3: understanding the different game, what about podcasts? That is a
- 2:20:45Speaker 3: very impressive just figuring out your interest because they tell
- 2:20:47Speaker 3: you all the time, it's like NFL not for long.
- 2:20:50Speaker 4: You're not going to be in the game that long totally.
- 2:20:52Speaker 4: Like when I was on practice squad, I thought that
- 2:20:54Speaker 4: was probably going to be my only year playing, so
- 2:20:56Speaker 4: I was I was always trying to figure out, like
- 2:20:58Speaker 4: what my next thing, I guess could be. And then
- 2:21:00Speaker 4: fortunately the career got going. And then when I started
- 2:21:04Speaker 4: to think about podcasting, it was like all the conversations
- 2:21:07Speaker 4: we would have, whether in the cafeteria, the sauna, the
- 2:21:10Speaker 4: weight room, the colt up everything that took place around football.
- 2:21:14Speaker 4: It's like all would be sick if we could just
- 2:21:16Speaker 4: put microphones in front of us, because we're always rocking
- 2:21:18Speaker 4: the helmet, like it's always sacrificing for the logo, not
- 2:21:21Speaker 4: the name on the back. And I thought it'd be
- 2:21:24Speaker 4: cool to just have like, hey, we have access to
- 2:21:27Speaker 4: sitting down with people, like he found the bus. We
- 2:21:30Speaker 4: bought the bus. But it was all about like keeping
- 2:21:32Speaker 4: the locker room going and build and hopefully building something
- 2:21:35Speaker 4: to where the locker room doesn't have to close.
- 2:21:38Speaker 3: Yeah, but like that, there was also I mean it
- 2:21:40Speaker 3: was very short lived, but there was a moment there
- 2:21:42Speaker 3: where this is going to be a serious podcast.
- 2:21:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that would like things that are like
- 2:21:48Speaker 4: interested me, Like I've always been a ball buster, So
- 2:21:50Speaker 4: it wasn't like it was always like in my head.
- 2:21:52Speaker 4: I just started from that because I love I love
- 2:21:54Speaker 4: like learning about like this entire show with Coach McVeigh
- 2:21:58Speaker 4: would be how I would envision and like sitting down
- 2:22:00Speaker 4: with somebody getting to know them, like what makes them tick,
- 2:22:03Speaker 4: what makes them successful, the adversities, the hardships and everything else.
- 2:22:06Speaker 4: But then the personality of it would still be like.
- 2:22:09Speaker 10: Being able to yea, being able to have with that
- 2:22:11Speaker 10: and that's what's cool though, And that's like, and obviously
- 2:22:14Speaker 10: I've watched and we don't know each other as well,
- 2:22:16Speaker 10: but I can remember and even I'm remembering it as
- 2:22:19Speaker 10: we're kind of sitting here talking again. But there are
- 2:22:21Speaker 10: certain things and there's certain people you come across that,
- 2:22:25Speaker 10: you know, my dad has a saying interested people are interesting,
- 2:22:29Speaker 10: you know, and you think about that, it's like, Okay,
- 2:22:30Speaker 10: you were always authentically interested in your teammates and it
- 2:22:34Speaker 10: wasn't like fake to be a leader or whatever. And
- 2:22:37Speaker 10: then you know, when you're interested in someone else, well
- 2:22:40Speaker 10: then to that person, you become interesting. And that was
- 2:22:43Speaker 10: where like you know, like we I love to teach
- 2:22:45Speaker 10: in acronyms, and like glue to us represents great leaders
- 2:22:49Speaker 10: unite everyone, and he was a glue guy in Washington,
- 2:22:52Speaker 10: and like, I think a lot of the experiences, but
- 2:22:54Speaker 10: you think about it, those feelings of connection, camaraderie, and
- 2:22:58Speaker 10: then like what sports represents fool or society in general.
- 2:23:01Speaker 10: There's so many cool lessons that you can really learn
- 2:23:04Speaker 10: and you can apply that a lot of the same
- 2:23:06Speaker 10: principles that allowed you to be successful. It's the same
- 2:23:09Speaker 10: exact stuff, because what is it. It's dealing with people
- 2:23:13Speaker 10: like and how do you help people self actualize and
- 2:23:17Speaker 10: become the best versions of themselves, but also like enjoy
- 2:23:20Speaker 10: the journey a little bit, not take yourself so seriously.
- 2:23:23Speaker 4: You know you're laughing and like knowing, just making jokes inside.
- 2:23:28Speaker 4: Whether you're on the team now you're the head coach
- 2:23:30Speaker 4: the speeches, so you're the guy where you can build
- 2:23:32Speaker 4: some camaraderie with by talking about your tics, your things
- 2:23:36Speaker 4: that you kind of repeat and say a lot about
- 2:23:38Speaker 4: what the coach you had.
- 2:23:42Speaker 10: We had an inside backer that in person amy last
- 2:23:45Speaker 10: year for Halloween, Sean Dolac. It was pretty good. Yeah,
- 2:23:48Speaker 10: you know, I was like, it's pretty hard to see,
- 2:23:50Speaker 10: but pretty good right there, man. But it's it's the best,
- 2:23:53Speaker 10: Like and I think what I think is is great though,
- 2:23:57Speaker 10: is like you show me a great culture in any
- 2:23:59Speaker 10: atmosphere and environment, you'll hear laughter, you'll hear enjoyment, and
- 2:24:03Speaker 10: then they'll know when to be able to kind of
- 2:24:04Speaker 10: lock in and do those types of things. But that's
- 2:24:08Speaker 10: that's important. Like in those team meeting rooms, like you know,
- 2:24:10Speaker 10: you want like you hear some good laughter and things
- 2:24:12Speaker 10: like that. You know, and finding that good balance. But
- 2:24:16Speaker 10: like I always want guys feeling like when they leave
- 2:24:18Speaker 10: they're excited to come back that next day.
- 2:24:20Speaker 4: Yeah, how was it for you when you're first hitting
- 2:24:22Speaker 4: the team meetings? When you get in, Oh, man, I
- 2:24:25Speaker 4: was excited for that guy.
- 2:24:26Speaker 10: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what was really cool that
- 2:24:30Speaker 10: I look back on now and I didn't appreciate as
- 2:24:32Speaker 10: much at the time, but I'm so grateful is the
- 2:24:35Speaker 10: autonomy and really the trust that Jay gave me when
- 2:24:38Speaker 10: I was the OC in Washington. What do I mean
- 2:24:41Speaker 10: by that he was secure enough to give me opportunities
- 2:24:44Speaker 10: to be able to lead and even though you're not
- 2:24:46Speaker 10: necessarily addressing the team, he's giving you a chance to really,
- 2:24:49Speaker 10: even though he's an offensive head coach, lead and address
- 2:24:52Speaker 10: the unit. And you know, these are things I've always
- 2:24:54Speaker 10: been passionate about, like leading and growing up in a
- 2:24:57Speaker 10: football family. My dad, you know, is one of the
- 2:25:00Speaker 10: best leaders that I've ever seen. I had a lot
- 2:25:02Speaker 10: of really cool influences in the midst of that journey,
- 2:25:05Speaker 10: but it was exciting. But I think as you look
- 2:25:08Speaker 10: back on it, and you really say, like, I'll never
- 2:25:10Speaker 10: forget you know, I'm a big believer in like people
- 2:25:13Speaker 10: learning bite sized increments. And the goal isn't for like
- 2:25:15Speaker 10: you to leave a team meeting and people to think, oh,
- 2:25:17Speaker 10: you sound smart. The goal is to communicate, to connect
- 2:25:20Speaker 10: and making sure that you know you're able to reach
- 2:25:23Speaker 10: guys that have high capacities, but also make sure that like, hey,
- 2:25:26Speaker 10: when we leave this meeting, like is everybody getting the
- 2:25:29Speaker 10: three points or the key things that we're really trying
- 2:25:31Speaker 10: to be able to get across. And like, I ripped
- 2:25:35Speaker 10: through a culture thing our very first team meeting. I mean,
- 2:25:37Speaker 10: I'm practicing the speech. We were staying in a hotel
- 2:25:40Speaker 10: at the time because our house wasn't done. I'm practicing
- 2:25:43Speaker 10: my opening speech, you know, with my wife the night before.
- 2:25:46Speaker 10: And I mean I fucking ripped through like twenty minutes,
- 2:25:49Speaker 10: you know, and you could tell, you know, it's like, man,
- 2:25:52Speaker 10: I was excited. I've been prepared for this. I gave
- 2:25:54Speaker 10: a lot of information. You leave the meeting, you asked people, hey, hey,
- 2:25:57Speaker 10: what do you say? I don't know, man, he sounded smart.
- 2:26:00Speaker 10: That's a fucking bad meeting, pen you know, But it's
- 2:26:02Speaker 10: evolved to where it's like, all right, hey, how do
- 2:26:05Speaker 10: you make sure that you're more deliberate in terms of teaching,
- 2:26:09Speaker 10: connecting that give and take in that feedback, and it's
- 2:26:12Speaker 10: been evolving. But man, I was excited. It was like
- 2:26:15Speaker 10: it's always been a blessing. Like I've always really enjoyed
- 2:26:18Speaker 10: the interaction with people getting an opportunity to do some
- 2:26:22Speaker 10: of these types of things. And I think what's really
- 2:26:25Speaker 10: cool is going into year ten, there's a lot of
- 2:26:27Speaker 10: other things now that have come into place that I
- 2:26:30Speaker 10: have even more enjoyment for that. You just can't replicate
- 2:26:32Speaker 10: it in any other setting.
- 2:26:34Speaker 3: How does it feel walking into a meeting room and
- 2:26:36Speaker 3: looking a guy like Andrew Whitworth in the eyes and
- 2:26:39Speaker 3: be like, follow me, who's older.
- 2:26:41Speaker 10: Well, here's what I here's what I'll tell you. I
- 2:26:43Speaker 10: think is really cool. It wasn't about follow me, It
- 2:26:46Speaker 10: was about I can't wait to help us achieve together.
- 2:26:49Speaker 4: Nice.
- 2:26:49Speaker 10: You know, I heard Wade Phillips say this, Like Wade Phillips,
- 2:26:52Speaker 10: I look back at all the different you know, there's
- 2:26:54Speaker 10: a lot made about the different coaches in different you know,
- 2:26:57Speaker 10: players that we've had that come through here. But all
- 2:27:00Speaker 10: of those guys, if you're willing to like open your
- 2:27:02Speaker 10: heart up and like say, like what can I learn
- 2:27:04Speaker 10: from this guy? And I'll never forget this, And I
- 2:27:06Speaker 10: thought it was so cool. One of the best traits
- 2:27:07Speaker 10: that Wade Phillips had. It's great humility about himself. Like
- 2:27:11Speaker 10: if you played for Wade Phillips or if you coach
- 2:27:13Speaker 10: with Wade Phillips, like you love this guy. But he
- 2:27:15Speaker 10: had an authentic humility and like he gave trust to
- 2:27:18Speaker 10: people because he gave him autonomy. And I walked in
- 2:27:21Speaker 10: with his defensive staff and I'll never forget him saying, hey,
- 2:27:24Speaker 10: you don't work for me, you work with me. And
- 2:27:26Speaker 10: I'm like, man, that's such a cool thing. And that's
- 2:27:29Speaker 10: what we wanted to try to be able to create.
- 2:27:31Speaker 10: And I always think there's this narrative of like it's
- 2:27:34Speaker 10: players and coaches separate. No, no, no, how can we
- 2:27:37Speaker 10: be like this? There's inevitably and I think there's some
- 2:27:39Speaker 10: cool things that there's the separation and there's some tough decisions.
- 2:27:43Speaker 10: You know, it never gets you know, I still don't
- 2:27:46Speaker 10: like every time I walk around or you know, everybody's
- 2:27:48Speaker 10: laugh I walk up, it gets quiet. You know, that's
- 2:27:50Speaker 10: never fun over the last ten years. But you know
- 2:27:53Speaker 10: they say that with a joke. But there is some
- 2:27:54Speaker 10: seriousness to that, but I don't. I think you want
- 2:27:58Speaker 10: to inspire guys to want to come along that journey
- 2:28:01Speaker 10: with you. And I think it's really important too that
- 2:28:04Speaker 10: like the most I think the separator for the coaches
- 2:28:07Speaker 10: and the leaders that I admire the most, because when
- 2:28:10Speaker 10: things are good, you know, it's really like, hey, how
- 2:28:12Speaker 10: do we stay humble in the midst of that? How
- 2:28:14Speaker 10: do we continue to be able to work and trust
- 2:28:17Speaker 10: the things that we're doing, but stay humble in the
- 2:28:18Speaker 10: midst of that journey. But like when you have adversity,
- 2:28:21Speaker 10: like when they're storms, like I think it's so important
- 2:28:24Speaker 10: that whether it's you, guys or players, that they can
- 2:28:27Speaker 10: look and they could be like, I believe we can
- 2:28:29Speaker 10: get out of this. I believe this is temporary because
- 2:28:33Speaker 10: I believe that people that are in leadership positions have
- 2:28:35Speaker 10: a vision, have a plan, that there's an authenticity, there's
- 2:28:39Speaker 10: a capacity, there's character, and there's a connection that are
- 2:28:42Speaker 10: behind those things and this too shall pass. But if
- 2:28:45Speaker 10: when you're in those storms, if you're looking around and
- 2:28:47Speaker 10: you don't have anybody where, it's like, man, woe is me,
- 2:28:49Speaker 10: We're never going to get out of it. Like that's
- 2:28:51Speaker 10: why I respect it admire. You know, when I watch leaders,
- 2:28:55Speaker 10: whether that's players, coaches, or just leaders in any other space,
- 2:28:58Speaker 10: I want to see how you're handling the tough times
- 2:29:01Speaker 10: because that's when I've been at my worst and I
- 2:29:03Speaker 10: don't want to be that again. And that's when you're
- 2:29:05Speaker 10: really like the separators, how you handle the storms. Yeah,
- 2:29:08Speaker 10: I really believe that.
- 2:29:09Speaker 3: When you're as personal as you are with like all
- 2:29:10Speaker 3: the players and everything, clearly, like there comes a time
- 2:29:13Speaker 3: right before the season where you have to cut off
- 2:29:15Speaker 3: a lot of the fat of the team. How difficult
- 2:29:18Speaker 3: is that for you? Because clearly you're a player's coach.
- 2:29:20Speaker 3: You want to be around the guys, want everyone to
- 2:29:22Speaker 3: enjoy it. We work with each other, I don't. You
- 2:29:24Speaker 3: don't work for me. All those things are great, but
- 2:29:26Speaker 3: then there's times where it's like, hey, I've instilled the
- 2:29:29Speaker 3: trust and confidence and you, but now I have to
- 2:29:30Speaker 3: look you in the eyes and you have to handle
- 2:29:31Speaker 3: your playbook and say like you're not you're potentially not
- 2:29:34Speaker 3: good enough to be on this team right now to
- 2:29:36Speaker 3: give the whole there's thirty one other teams out there, Like,
- 2:29:38Speaker 3: how is that for you? From an emotional yeah, point.
- 2:29:41Speaker 10: Well, it's difficult, but that's why it's so important for
- 2:29:44Speaker 10: me to be able to first always start off with
- 2:29:46Speaker 10: like cause then a lot of people would say, well,
- 2:29:47Speaker 10: that's why you don't get close to guys, and it's like,
- 2:29:49Speaker 10: that's why you and I will never be the same.
- 2:29:51Speaker 10: I'd much rather build a foundational relationship that's built on trust, love,
- 2:29:56Speaker 10: all right, And then I know, inevitably I do have
- 2:29:58Speaker 10: to make some tough decisions, but I I think our
- 2:30:00Speaker 10: guys understand that too, Like we talked about it earlier,
- 2:30:03Speaker 10: Like people like you guys knew you didn't need to
- 2:30:06Speaker 10: be told when you weren't operating or performing the way
- 2:30:09Speaker 10: you did. Your teammates knew, like when you have something
- 2:30:12Speaker 10: off with somebody. People have intuition and gut instincts, and
- 2:30:14Speaker 10: usually if you're thinking it, they are too. But most
- 2:30:17Speaker 10: people are afraid to address the issue. Here's what I
- 2:30:19Speaker 10: would say. I heard the Oklahoma City thunder coach Mark
- 2:30:22Speaker 10: Dagnaw say this a couple of years ago, and I
- 2:30:24Speaker 10: thought this was a really cool point. He was asked
- 2:30:27Speaker 10: a similar question to what you just asked me, and
- 2:30:29Speaker 10: he said, I think it's really important that you acknowledge
- 2:30:33Speaker 10: the fact that, hey, my decision is I have to
- 2:30:36Speaker 10: make decisions that are best for the collective. I've been
- 2:30:38Speaker 10: wrong before, I'll be wrong again. But here's why we're
- 2:30:42Speaker 10: making this decision. That's foundationally rooted in working to be
- 2:30:46Speaker 10: able to give some context, not just saying because you
- 2:30:49Speaker 10: know he because you know it's a tough decison. I
- 2:30:51Speaker 10: have to make. Well, give me some tangible feedback so
- 2:30:54Speaker 10: that I can either improve or have a realistic of understanding,
- 2:30:57Speaker 10: because if I don't know why I did or did
- 2:31:00Speaker 10: didn't make the team, or did or didn't get a
- 2:31:02Speaker 10: starting job. So I think that's where it's really important
- 2:31:04Speaker 10: to be invested in all three phases, so there's a
- 2:31:07Speaker 10: capacity to give some real feedback but also acknowledge the
- 2:31:09Speaker 10: fact that I've been wrong before, I'll be wrong again.
- 2:31:12Speaker 10: But my first and foremost responsibility is to the collective
- 2:31:15Speaker 10: and then the individuals, and the best is when you
- 2:31:17Speaker 10: can check both those boxes off. But what I would
- 2:31:19Speaker 10: always hope to say is that, especially over the last
- 2:31:22Speaker 10: few years, people might not always like what you have
- 2:31:24Speaker 10: to say in the moment, but they know you're going
- 2:31:26Speaker 10: to get truth and honesty, at least from my vantage point,
- 2:31:29Speaker 10: and I've seen like a lot of real relationships built
- 2:31:33Speaker 10: in the midst of being able to deliver that and
- 2:31:36Speaker 10: where there's that trust and you know, like Andrew Whitworth
- 2:31:38Speaker 10: and I talk about this all the time. Some people
- 2:31:41Speaker 10: that takes ten hours to get over, some people ten days,
- 2:31:45Speaker 10: maybe some ten months, maybe some even ten years. But
- 2:31:48Speaker 10: if the relationship is what it is, usually they'll come
- 2:31:51Speaker 10: around and they kind of understand the parts of it.
- 2:31:54Speaker 10: And I think I've gotten a lot better as long
- 2:31:56Speaker 10: as I'm operating with the right heart posture to that person,
- 2:32:00Speaker 10: the empathy, the you know, the appropriate you know, authentic,
- 2:32:04Speaker 10: you know, explanation, but really you know, caring about these guys,
- 2:32:08Speaker 10: they'll come back around. And if they don't, you know,
- 2:32:11Speaker 10: that's not my problem, you know. And I tried, and
- 2:32:14Speaker 10: i've and it takes work, but I've tried to work
- 2:32:17Speaker 10: on that where it's like, Okay, I love you enough,
- 2:32:19Speaker 10: you know, I have to make some tough decisions as
- 2:32:21Speaker 10: long as I feel like I'm doing the things the
- 2:32:23Speaker 10: right way. Like I'm super sensitive to what an amateur
- 2:32:27Speaker 10: I was with the golf situation, you know, trading him
- 2:32:30Speaker 10: when you say, well, why do you say that you
- 2:32:33Speaker 10: want to talk about lack of courage, lack of clarity,
- 2:32:37Speaker 10: lack of ability to be able to look somebody in
- 2:32:39Speaker 10: the eye that you've had a lot of really cool
- 2:32:41Speaker 10: experiences with and tell them, hey, you know, not easy
- 2:32:44Speaker 10: to say, but we might explore an opportunity to acquire
- 2:32:47Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford and you'll be a part of a trade there.
- 2:32:51Speaker 10: But instead it's like, you know, you kind of get
- 2:32:52Speaker 10: frustrated and it was more really about me than it
- 2:32:55Speaker 10: was ever him in terms of like I had, I
- 2:32:58Speaker 10: had a lot of things that I need to be
- 2:33:00Speaker 10: able to work through, and I didn't handle that the
- 2:33:03Speaker 10: right way. And I'm not saying that we wouldn't have
- 2:33:05Speaker 10: made the decision, but the handling of it was exactly
- 2:33:08Speaker 10: the antithesis of how I would hope to handle things
- 2:33:11Speaker 10: moving forward. I don't run away.
- 2:33:13Speaker 4: Is it a thing that you you're like delivering ideas
- 2:33:17Speaker 4: and news differently or you're you you look back and
- 2:33:20Speaker 4: you're like, Okay, I was just avoiding some conversations. I
- 2:33:22Speaker 4: think that way. Really, I just let the business take
- 2:33:25Speaker 4: care of it and then I kind of just sit back,
- 2:33:26Speaker 4: like this wasn't.
- 2:33:27Speaker 10: There's a lot of stuff that goes on. I think
- 2:33:28Speaker 10: the important thing is is to operate with clarity for people,
- 2:33:31Speaker 10: you know. And it's like you say, okay, so what
- 2:33:33Speaker 10: do you mean by that? Well, I was frustrated. Did
- 2:33:36Speaker 10: I ever have the courage to really sit him down
- 2:33:38Speaker 10: after that season in twenty twenty and really tell him, hey,
- 2:33:42Speaker 10: you know, there's a possibility that we'll explore, you know,
- 2:33:44Speaker 10: some some avenues that might lead to you not being
- 2:33:48Speaker 10: our quarterback moving forward. No, would I do it differently now? Absolutely,
- 2:33:53Speaker 10: you know, because I think the biggest thing that I
- 2:33:56Speaker 10: learned that he was able to share and I appreciate
- 2:33:58Speaker 10: his honesty on all of that, and there is nobody
- 2:34:01Speaker 10: to blame but myself. But it was really like what
- 2:34:04Speaker 10: did he not like the most about it? It was
- 2:34:05Speaker 10: caught off guard. You know, You're like, where where did
- 2:34:08Speaker 10: this come from? Because I didn't have the courage to
- 2:34:10Speaker 10: really be able to communicate in the middle or in
- 2:34:13Speaker 10: the midst of it. And so now it's almost kind
- 2:34:15Speaker 10: of like you got this, whether it's you say, it's
- 2:34:17Speaker 10: a good conscience on your shoulder of like, man, if
- 2:34:19Speaker 10: you love people enough, you got to keep it real
- 2:34:20Speaker 10: with them. And there's always this balance of you know,
- 2:34:23Speaker 10: the empathy you know, but also more importantly the honesty
- 2:34:27Speaker 10: because you think about it, like you guys probably can
- 2:34:29Speaker 10: think about people in your life or coaches you've been around,
- 2:34:33Speaker 10: especially if they have the right etiquette and awareness on
- 2:34:35Speaker 10: how to deliver it. It's like, Man, I really appreciate
- 2:34:38Speaker 10: knowing where I stood with guys. And even though he
- 2:34:40Speaker 10: told me some stuff that was hard to hear, like
- 2:34:43Speaker 10: I knew where it came from, and I always knew
- 2:34:45Speaker 10: where I stood. I think that's important. Like everybody throws
- 2:34:48Speaker 10: the word out like psychological safety, but like, I think
- 2:34:52Speaker 10: so much of that uncertainty, you know, that uneasiness, that
- 2:34:55Speaker 10: anxiety that leads you know that comes from a place
- 2:34:58Speaker 10: of like where the fuck do I stand with people?
- 2:35:00Speaker 4: Right?
- 2:35:01Speaker 3: You know the game of assumption, like you start get
- 2:35:03Speaker 3: in your own mind, you don't have the transparent to
- 2:35:05Speaker 3: other people. It's like it's only human nature to set
- 2:35:08Speaker 3: back and be like, well, this might be happening, and
- 2:35:09Speaker 3: then that this might be happening becomes this is happening
- 2:35:12Speaker 3: in our brains. Yes, And that's just like a normal
- 2:35:14Speaker 3: chemical thing that takes place to protect ourselves.
- 2:35:16Speaker 10: You just said it. It's a chemical, Like this is
- 2:35:18Speaker 10: what I've learned as I've really tried to lean in
- 2:35:20Speaker 10: and try to be the best for people. There is
- 2:35:23Speaker 10: science that backs that's how cortisol levels increase. Well, what
- 2:35:26Speaker 10: does cortisol levels lead to? Stress? Anxiety, rumination? Okay, all
- 2:35:31Speaker 10: things that you do not want to operate with when
- 2:35:34Speaker 10: you are performing or operating in competitive spaces or just
- 2:35:38Speaker 10: being the person that you want to be. But how
- 2:35:40Speaker 10: can we lean into those other things? Because these are
- 2:35:43Speaker 10: things that we can control, and these are skills that
- 2:35:44Speaker 10: can really be developed. Like something as simple as I
- 2:35:48Speaker 10: give you, guys this a right, Like after you guys
- 2:35:50Speaker 10: lost or had a bad game, what would you guys
- 2:35:52Speaker 10: typically do.
- 2:35:53Speaker 4: Watch the film?
- 2:35:54Speaker 3: Immediately watch the film immediately where you're talking with other people,
- 2:35:57Speaker 3: Oh yes, you would you go to people but he
- 2:36:00Speaker 3: about this play? Well I could, I should have done this.
- 2:36:02Speaker 3: But it's almost like for me.
- 2:36:04Speaker 10: You would be by yourself, so you would lean into
- 2:36:07Speaker 10: your teammates.
- 2:36:08Speaker 3: For me, for me personally, I would it would be
- 2:36:10Speaker 3: like Ben Jones is a guy that you know he
- 2:36:12Speaker 3: was he was a center he was, yeah he was,
- 2:36:16Speaker 3: but he was a guy that knew everything that was
- 2:36:18Speaker 3: going with to play from the defense side, the ball
- 2:36:19Speaker 3: office side, of ball. So he'd be a guy like, hey,
- 2:36:21Speaker 3: on this play, and I would tell him the answer
- 2:36:23Speaker 3: I wanted to hear. I need to het my foot
- 2:36:25Speaker 3: a little more. It's almost like I need to get
- 2:36:27Speaker 3: in front of the criticism in my brain because I
- 2:36:29Speaker 3: had such a high expectation for myself and it was
- 2:36:32Speaker 3: like the uh, the ego, the uncertainty of like, and
- 2:36:35Speaker 3: this is a guy that I respected. I was like
- 2:36:37Speaker 3: kind of like wanted to show him, Hey, I know
- 2:36:39Speaker 3: I could have probably done this right, Like yeah, for sure,
- 2:36:41Speaker 3: but it was like it came from a place of
- 2:36:43Speaker 3: like insecurity more than anything.
- 2:36:45Speaker 10: You know, what's cool about what you did? So like
- 2:36:48Speaker 10: I am like, I'm like you when we lose or whatever.
- 2:36:51Speaker 10: If I feel like I let guys down. My typical
- 2:36:54Speaker 10: thing is I don't want to put this negative energy
- 2:36:56Speaker 10: that I'm feeling on other people. So I have a
- 2:36:58Speaker 10: tendency to isolate after a stressful competition, situation performance, whether
- 2:37:05Speaker 10: that's for players or even coaches. There's a shit ton
- 2:37:08Speaker 10: of testosterone that's depleted during those stressful or those situations
- 2:37:12Speaker 10: you put yourself in. The worst way that you can
- 2:37:15Speaker 10: recover and turnover is to isolate. The best way is
- 2:37:19Speaker 10: to spend time in community. It's there's like studies behind this.
- 2:37:23Speaker 10: I was reading a book recently and I'm like, holy shit.
- 2:37:26Speaker 10: If you know the book, it's called The Way of
- 2:37:28Speaker 10: Excellence by Brad Stolberg. It's a good it's a good book,
- 2:37:32Speaker 10: you know, and a lot of cool wisdom in there,
- 2:37:35Speaker 10: you know, in terms of like the healthy perspective of
- 2:37:38Speaker 10: like what is real excellence and it's not it's not
- 2:37:40Speaker 10: what you would think, but it's helf in the healthy perspective.
- 2:37:42Speaker 10: And then oh, by the way you apply these things.
- 2:37:44Speaker 10: But to your point though, even if you're saying it
- 2:37:47Speaker 10: came from an insecutor, you being able to talk with
- 2:37:49Speaker 10: somebody that you valued, their affirmation, their approval, and even
- 2:37:53Speaker 10: just spending time in community that was a healthy healing
- 2:37:56Speaker 10: mechanism for you to be able to recover. Where as
- 2:38:00Speaker 10: like in my mind, I'm thinking, I don't want to
- 2:38:02Speaker 10: put my proser and that's the worst thing that I
- 2:38:04Speaker 10: could do, you know, And then that leads to the
- 2:38:07Speaker 10: court is all you know, you're not turning over and
- 2:38:10Speaker 10: so it's like now you really start to apply like,
- 2:38:12Speaker 10: all right, there's some science that backs recovery habits. How
- 2:38:16Speaker 10: do you influence and affect positive change with people? And
- 2:38:19Speaker 10: when you know, like, hey, this isn't a matter of
- 2:38:21Speaker 10: like opinion that there's right or wrong that backs this
- 2:38:24Speaker 10: based on chemicals like you mentioned, well, let's fucking apply
- 2:38:28Speaker 10: that then.
- 2:38:29Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's not just for just football, it's like
- 2:38:31Speaker 3: any relationship you're in, just what you need complete transparency
- 2:38:34Speaker 3: from the other individuals. Because when you have that, it's
- 2:38:37Speaker 3: like I know exactly how you feel, whether it's like
- 2:38:39Speaker 3: you feel really good a situation or really bad the situation.
- 2:38:41Speaker 3: At least now I have no assumption in the game pie, right, Yeah,
- 2:38:45Speaker 3: because it's like if I told you Heyshan, I think
- 2:38:47Speaker 3: you've done a bad job coaching, goes to X, Y
- 2:38:49Speaker 3: and Z, and this is where you could be better.
- 2:38:51Speaker 3: And this is how I feel about you in this moment. Yeah,
- 2:38:53Speaker 3: it might not feel good, but you have zero assumption
- 2:38:57Speaker 3: about how I feel about you right now. Now, now
- 2:39:00Speaker 3: that I've given you my emotions is not for me
- 2:39:02Speaker 3: to hold anymore. Now it's for you to take it
- 2:39:04Speaker 3: and you make the changes based on you. Yeah, and
- 2:39:06Speaker 3: you can go about that and now that's how you
- 2:39:08Speaker 3: kind of grow together with whether it's the person you're
- 2:39:10Speaker 3: in a relationship with the coaching staff us, Like it's
- 2:39:13Speaker 3: how to me, It's like transparency is absolutely everything.
- 2:39:16Speaker 10: I couldn't agree more. But like you think about it,
- 2:39:18Speaker 10: there are skills to be able to like like I
- 2:39:21Speaker 10: think you know a why have you guys been successful?
- 2:39:24Speaker 10: Very good communicators? You know how to connect. There's an
- 2:39:27Speaker 10: authenticity and who you guys are well delivering bad information
- 2:39:31Speaker 10: or delivering tough information with the right emotional intelligence. Those
- 2:39:35Speaker 10: are skills as well. Yeah, because there's certain like it
- 2:39:38Speaker 10: because I think that it's so important to do that.
- 2:39:41Speaker 10: But how do you disarm people? And like, hey, what's
- 2:39:43Speaker 10: the biggest thing, Like you've got to establish a care
- 2:39:46Speaker 10: for somebody before It's like we always talked about it,
- 2:39:48Speaker 10: you got to connect before you give it before players
- 2:39:51Speaker 10: give you an opportunity to correct. And that goes for
- 2:39:53Speaker 10: players coaches. But like you said, in any relationship, and
- 2:39:56Speaker 10: that's what I think is so cool about you know,
- 2:39:59Speaker 10: all of us our foundations are in man, this game
- 2:40:01Speaker 10: has provided a lot of blessings to us. But when
- 2:40:04Speaker 10: you're at your best, or when you've been at your
- 2:40:07Speaker 10: best as a player, you apply those same exact things
- 2:40:11Speaker 10: in your personal life. Friendships, marriages, as a father, as
- 2:40:16Speaker 10: a son, brother, whatever it is, it's consistent, you know.
- 2:40:21Speaker 10: And that's what I think is cool is is like
- 2:40:24Speaker 10: better people make better rams, and like when you apply
- 2:40:27Speaker 10: these things, Oh, you become a better player when I'm
- 2:40:30Speaker 10: doing these things, and like that to me is what's
- 2:40:32Speaker 10: been cool about kind of that evolution is is like, yeah,
- 2:40:35Speaker 10: let's make this about like, hey, you come here, I'm
- 2:40:38Speaker 10: going to hopefully invest and we're going to invest in
- 2:40:40Speaker 10: you as becoming a better person, and you'll also become
- 2:40:43Speaker 10: a better coach or a player. Do I know what
- 2:40:45Speaker 10: that looks like? For what we'll be able to accomplish
- 2:40:47Speaker 10: and achieve together. There's a lot of stuff that's you know,
- 2:40:50Speaker 10: we're in command, but we're out of control of a
- 2:40:52Speaker 10: lot of stuff. But let's really lean into those things
- 2:40:55Speaker 10: and let's be proud of who we're becoming in the
- 2:40:57Speaker 10: midst of this together.
- 2:40:58Speaker 4: Yeah, oh your one liner.
- 2:41:00Speaker 3: Out of this world, Well.
- 2:41:06Speaker 10: I got to get get a week of credit for
- 2:41:07Speaker 10: that in command out of control. I was like, oh,
- 2:41:11Speaker 10: I love that because such.
- 2:41:12Speaker 4: A good was it, adapt improvised, overcome?
- 2:41:14Speaker 10: Yeah, he had those, but like he you know, he
- 2:41:18Speaker 10: was a coach that both Will and I worked with
- 2:41:20Speaker 10: and he was with us last year and did a
- 2:41:22Speaker 10: cool job for us. But he said, you know, we're
- 2:41:24Speaker 10: in They used to say this because he was high
- 2:41:26Speaker 10: ranking military official who played that army, you know, was
- 2:41:29Speaker 10: in the army and has some amazing stories and you
- 2:41:31Speaker 10: talk about real perspective, you know, but but in command,
- 2:41:34Speaker 10: out of control. So it's like, all right, what is
- 2:41:36Speaker 10: that easy way of saying, let's focus on the things
- 2:41:38Speaker 10: that we can control and then really have the wisdom
- 2:41:41Speaker 10: to not allow ourselves, you know, the things that we can't.
- 2:41:44Speaker 10: Is that easy to do?
- 2:41:46Speaker 4: Hell?
- 2:41:46Speaker 10: No, easy to say, hard to do.
- 2:41:48Speaker 3: I love.
- 2:41:49Speaker 4: He was a motherfucker. You got to know him. You
- 2:41:51Speaker 4: just knew, like he had a great relationship that we
- 2:41:54Speaker 4: kind of still have, Like we'll catch up probably once
- 2:41:56Speaker 4: a year.
- 2:41:57Speaker 10: But he's in Baltimore now.
- 2:41:59Speaker 4: Is he Baltimore? Shut up Baltimore, Baltimore. Yeah, we did you. Yeah,
- 2:42:08Speaker 4: it didn't work out for us.
- 2:42:09Speaker 10: Well, but you would have thought that about the RAMS
- 2:42:11Speaker 10: a couple of years ago.
- 2:42:13Speaker 4: Yeah, we had an email.
- 2:42:14Speaker 3: Didn't say exactly why.
- 2:42:16Speaker 4: We weren't allowed to go to the Wills called the scumbags.
- 2:42:20Speaker 3: Quotes did you but did you ever call the Rams
- 2:42:22Speaker 3: scumbags no Ravens. Yeah, yeah, I think I think I
- 2:42:27Speaker 3: think it's like it's.
- 2:42:28Speaker 10: Like, is that alluding to what that story that we
- 2:42:31Speaker 10: don't that was never really a big deal this past
- 2:42:34Speaker 10: off season.
- 2:42:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that wasn't a big deal, right, Yeah, that wasn't
- 2:42:36Speaker 3: a big deal.
- 2:42:38Speaker 4: Yeah, because.
- 2:42:41Speaker 3: It was like a deposition a definition transcript of one
- 2:42:44Speaker 3: of our podcast.
- 2:42:47Speaker 8: This.
- 2:42:47Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, louding stuff with past players because Ryan
- 2:42:51Speaker 4: Grant listen, don't didn't anymore.
- 2:42:55Speaker 3: Just know that we would love to go to Baltimore
- 2:42:57Speaker 3: and do some stuff. When you guys will have us,
- 2:42:59Speaker 3: we'll go.
- 2:42:59Speaker 4: Right grand for missus snap going into that physical I
- 2:43:01Speaker 4: just say we will.
- 2:43:04Speaker 10: Now, hey, he's going back in time from a plane.
- 2:43:09Speaker 4: Oh what I was going to say is you're alluding
- 2:43:12Speaker 4: to clarity, Yeah, with your starting quarterback. That's right fast
- 2:43:18Speaker 4: forward to this past draft when that decision is being made,
- 2:43:21Speaker 4: making of stories that that didn't get much and always yeah,
- 2:43:23Speaker 4: nobody was talking too through and to find that anything
- 2:43:27Speaker 4: about ty SAMs. Is there a part of you that's
- 2:43:29Speaker 4: coming out in real time with thinking about the clarity
- 2:43:33Speaker 4: with your starting quarterback when the decision like that is
- 2:43:35Speaker 4: getting made.
- 2:43:36Speaker 10: Oh yeah, absolutely. You know, here's what I would tell you.
- 2:43:39Speaker 10: You know, when you go through the draft process, and
- 2:43:43Speaker 10: we're always looking and I'm always thinking, okay a and
- 2:43:45Speaker 10: we collectively how can we be the best for the
- 2:43:47Speaker 10: short and the long term? And there's a lot of
- 2:43:50Speaker 10: decisions that we make that you know, on a year
- 2:43:52Speaker 10: to your basis and when you look at, okay, what
- 2:43:54Speaker 10: are the things that we've had successful outcomes? Where are
- 2:43:57Speaker 10: we currently constructed as a roster, what are the things
- 2:44:00Speaker 10: that we need to do. But let's also not be
- 2:44:01Speaker 10: naive to the fact that we have to plan for
- 2:44:04Speaker 10: the short and the long term and what does that
- 2:44:07Speaker 10: look like to be able to say like, hey, let's
- 2:44:09Speaker 10: go get it right now, but let's also be able
- 2:44:12Speaker 10: to hopefully sustain over a period of time and balancing
- 2:44:16Speaker 10: that and so what we do feel fortunate you got
- 2:44:18Speaker 10: the reigning MVP of the league. I mean, this guy's
- 2:44:20Speaker 10: like a fine wine. He's getting better with age, and
- 2:44:23Speaker 10: my relationship with him is really it's special. You know,
- 2:44:27Speaker 10: there's a connection. We're in a similar you know, I mean,
- 2:44:29Speaker 10: and even he's like a lot of the stuff that
- 2:44:31Speaker 10: I watch him as a dad of these four beautiful girls,
- 2:44:34Speaker 10: or as a husband. He's got more experience in that
- 2:44:36Speaker 10: than I do. But I think our personalities really balance
- 2:44:40Speaker 10: each other out, Like it's a really cool thing that
- 2:44:44Speaker 10: we have, and so I don't take that for granted.
- 2:44:47Speaker 10: But I also know that he's earned the right to
- 2:44:49Speaker 10: be able to walk away whenever he wants to. And
- 2:44:53Speaker 10: when you're going into year eighteen, even though he had
- 2:44:55Speaker 10: this incredible year last year, hey, we've got to also
- 2:44:58Speaker 10: be mindful of man. We are so lucky to have
- 2:45:00Speaker 10: him doing his damn thing. But if he said at
- 2:45:03Speaker 10: the end of next year, hey, this is it for me,
- 2:45:06Speaker 10: He's earned the right to do that, you know, and
- 2:45:09Speaker 10: for us, we're looking at it and we're saying, okay,
- 2:45:11Speaker 10: then if there is an opportunity where you're like, all right, hey,
- 2:45:14Speaker 10: let's get somebody at thirteen that we really think can
- 2:45:17Speaker 10: upgrade our team. We were able to address some needs
- 2:45:20Speaker 10: in free agency, being able to sign Jalen Watson and
- 2:45:23Speaker 10: obviously trade for McDuffie. You had a long snapper. You
- 2:45:26Speaker 10: had Grant Stewart, who's a special team stud and he'll
- 2:45:29Speaker 10: find a way to probably be able to contribute defensively too.
- 2:45:32Speaker 10: But long story short, you got a lot of continuity
- 2:45:34Speaker 10: from last year, but you're really saying, Okay, there's some
- 2:45:37Speaker 10: really good players at thirteen. But you also say, this
- 2:45:39Speaker 10: is a guy that, based on the film and some
- 2:45:42Speaker 10: of the vetting that Less and his group, did you
- 2:45:45Speaker 10: project this guy to whenever Matthew decides potentially be a
- 2:45:48Speaker 10: starting caliber quarterback, and you like the body of work
- 2:45:51Speaker 10: because of the way he was asked to play the position.
- 2:45:54Speaker 10: Is it a short sample size, Yeah, it is, but
- 2:45:57Speaker 10: it's easier to evaluate that short sand ample size because
- 2:46:00Speaker 10: you're evaluating all parts of a in the dropback pass game.
- 2:46:04Speaker 10: You're watching the three step, the five step, the seventh step,
- 2:46:07Speaker 10: the way the fields distributed, the types of coverage contours
- 2:46:10Speaker 10: he's seeing in the SEC are similar to what he
- 2:46:12Speaker 10: would see. He's reading with his feet with a timing
- 2:46:15Speaker 10: and rhythm. He's redirecting protections, he's getting under center and
- 2:46:18Speaker 10: throwing play actions off seven step one hitch or eight
- 2:46:21Speaker 10: step one hitch, timing and anticipating second level in cuts
- 2:46:25Speaker 10: with front pad throws, making a little bit of plays
- 2:46:28Speaker 10: off schedule. And so you're saying, you know, I like this.
- 2:46:30Speaker 10: I liked that it wasn't easy. I like that you know,
- 2:46:32Speaker 10: he had to wait his time in Alabama and the
- 2:46:35Speaker 10: easy thing, especially nowadays, would have been able to run away.
- 2:46:37Speaker 10: I like that he didn't. You know, they lose to
- 2:46:39Speaker 10: Florida State and the sky is falling, and they find
- 2:46:41Speaker 10: a way to be able to kind of have some
- 2:46:43Speaker 10: resolve and they get into the SEC Championship and there's
- 2:46:46Speaker 10: a lot of good things in the midst of it.
- 2:46:47Speaker 10: I like the way that he responded when guys would
- 2:46:49Speaker 10: drop balls and he didn't flinch, or when guys would
- 2:46:52Speaker 10: give up, you know, an immediate free runner and you know,
- 2:46:55Speaker 10: didn't say a word except for, man, where can I
- 2:46:58Speaker 10: be better? Those were the things that the tape communicated
- 2:47:01Speaker 10: to me. But with that being said, was it an
- 2:47:05Speaker 10: easy decision? No, because, like, how are we always balancing?
- 2:47:08Speaker 10: And I said this before, like if you told me
- 2:47:11Speaker 10: that we could ensure that if we took a player
- 2:47:14Speaker 10: at thirteen let's just say it's a makay lemon Kenyan Sadique,
- 2:47:17Speaker 10: players that we really had a lot of appreciation for,
- 2:47:20Speaker 10: or even a defensive player bane still on the board
- 2:47:22Speaker 10: at the time. If you told me that drafting that
- 2:47:25Speaker 10: guy would have ensured that we're going to show up
- 2:47:27Speaker 10: at so far. On February fourteenth next year, and get
- 2:47:30Speaker 10: a chance to play for a world title, I say,
- 2:47:32Speaker 10: sign me up. We're taking that guy, you know, But
- 2:47:35Speaker 10: it doesn't work that way. And so man, I'm hopeful
- 2:47:37Speaker 10: Matthew plays as long as he as he can. And
- 2:47:42Speaker 10: I don't take for granted out lucky I am will,
- 2:47:44Speaker 10: but you absolutely sit down, you give clarity, and you
- 2:47:47Speaker 10: can talk to him in a different way because of
- 2:47:49Speaker 10: the capacity and the experience he has, and explain the
- 2:47:52Speaker 10: thought process. And again it's no different than those other conversations.
- 2:47:56Speaker 10: And he handled it exactly like you would want somebody
- 2:47:59Speaker 10: to handle it. But he also understands. I mean, he's
- 2:48:02Speaker 10: he's been in this thing, and even if it doesn't
- 2:48:04Speaker 10: necessarily have to be exactly agreed upon, he's like, I
- 2:48:08Speaker 10: get it, because why this guy can think from an
- 2:48:10Speaker 10: empathetic perspective too. He's respectful of the situations and the
- 2:48:14Speaker 10: circumstances that I'm put in and that we're put in
- 2:48:16Speaker 10: as leaders to make those calls. Do I know if
- 2:48:19Speaker 10: it's going to be right, you know, we'll see down
- 2:48:21Speaker 10: the line. But I know what I also am grateful
- 2:48:23Speaker 10: for is having number nine ready to ride and feeling
- 2:48:27Speaker 10: as good as he does right now.
- 2:48:29Speaker 4: Unreal seasons.
- 2:48:30Speaker 10: Actually, I mean that especially with you know, what's funny
- 2:48:34Speaker 10: is good. So so how about this though this is
- 2:48:38Speaker 10: funny for you. He we would go to we would
- 2:48:40Speaker 10: go to some of these, you know, other teams where
- 2:48:42Speaker 10: we knew other coaches. We're playing in London, all right
- 2:48:45Speaker 10: against Jacksonville. Matthew comes to me before the game. He goes,
- 2:48:48Speaker 10: how about this? He goes, have about talking to Jacksonville staff.
- 2:48:51Speaker 10: Those guys are like, man, that's pretty cool if Seanda
- 2:48:53Speaker 10: let you have off of camp and use the back injury,
- 2:48:56Speaker 10: you know, to kind of do that. He's like, the
- 2:48:58Speaker 10: fuck you talking about man? Beck injury was real.
- 2:49:01Speaker 4: Shit.
- 2:49:01Speaker 10: We were nervous as hell. Man, I mean it was
- 2:49:03Speaker 10: a week before we're playing Houston. Everybody the old a
- 2:49:06Speaker 10: mortal saved him, but like that was real and for
- 2:49:10Speaker 10: him to be able to you know, and that's where
- 2:49:11Speaker 10: you can see these elite competitors like he had to
- 2:49:14Speaker 10: make a decision where I mean, what people don't realize
- 2:49:17Speaker 10: is how close Key and I sat down, was like, hey,
- 2:49:20Speaker 10: you know this isn't responding the way that we hoped. Uh,
- 2:49:22Speaker 10: let's put you on temporary ir, so we don't put
- 2:49:25Speaker 10: this in that, you know, where we feel like this
- 2:49:26Speaker 10: anxiety of like having hit a timeline to be ready
- 2:49:29Speaker 10: to go. He hadn't taken any reps. Jimmy Garoppolo had
- 2:49:32Speaker 10: taken all the reps. This alien decides and you could
- 2:49:35Speaker 10: just see it was kind of like, you know, he
- 2:49:37Speaker 10: did some different things that was amazing that only he
- 2:49:40Speaker 10: could articulate in terms of like, you know, unique treatments
- 2:49:42Speaker 10: and outside the box thinking where he's basically going to
- 2:49:45Speaker 10: a torture chamber for forty eight hours. But then you
- 2:49:48Speaker 10: could also see there's this mindset that's the separator in
- 2:49:50Speaker 10: the greats where he went out there and he was like,
- 2:49:53Speaker 10: fuck it, I'm gonna swing, and he did it, and
- 2:49:57Speaker 10: then he never looked back. And then it led to
- 2:49:59Speaker 10: him playing as free and as still as I've ever
- 2:50:02Speaker 10: seen him too, Like there was an enjoyment and I
- 2:50:05Speaker 10: thought that resonated with the rest of his teammates and
- 2:50:08Speaker 10: it was really cool to see and and and it
- 2:50:10Speaker 10: was awesome to see him, and really he's been him
- 2:50:14Speaker 10: for a while, Like, but I think it is cool,
- 2:50:17Speaker 10: and he doesn't care about this stuff, but I think
- 2:50:19Speaker 10: it is cool. For him to get like the people
- 2:50:21Speaker 10: that really know, I've always had a real great sense
- 2:50:23Speaker 10: of appreciation for Matthew. But I'm glad that, you know, overall,
- 2:50:28Speaker 10: in the community of football, there's more of an appreciation
- 2:50:31Speaker 10: for Like, there's no doubt that five years from the
- 2:50:33Speaker 10: day this guy finishes, he's putting a gold jacket on
- 2:50:36Speaker 10: it again because of what he does and the person
- 2:50:39Speaker 10: he is. And but I know that's a really long
- 2:50:43Speaker 10: winded way of answering your question. But yeah, the clarity
- 2:50:45Speaker 10: and sitting down that was super important to me.
- 2:50:47Speaker 4: He sounds like, yeah, all that night.
- 2:50:52Speaker 10: I was steady as shit.
- 2:50:54Speaker 4: Yeah, oh you.
- 2:50:57Speaker 10: Be engaging just like right now, wasn't I.
- 2:51:01Speaker 3: Started coming out, Will was like, I know, Sean like
- 2:51:02Speaker 3: he seemed like a regular hymn.
- 2:51:05Speaker 5: He was like, seemed like it was.
- 2:51:07Speaker 10: But I will say this had I realize like that
- 2:51:11Speaker 10: was a miss on my part, and there was some
- 2:51:13Speaker 10: other like like you know, inevitably, you guys deal with
- 2:51:16Speaker 10: a lot of different stuff, right, Well, I'll never forget this.
- 2:51:19Speaker 10: Mike Tomlin, you know awesome. After I first got hired,
- 2:51:24Speaker 10: you know, he called me, hey, man, congratulations man, it's
- 2:51:28Speaker 10: really happy for you. Oh thanks man. You know, Mike
- 2:51:29Speaker 10: T's calling me. He said, how's that tube over your head?
- 2:51:33Speaker 4: He said, what do you mean? Man?
- 2:51:34Speaker 10: He goes that tube of shit that never stops flowing.
- 2:51:37Speaker 10: Now that you're a head coach, motherfucker, you know. And
- 2:51:40Speaker 10: so and so I'm thinking to myself, So, what's the
- 2:51:43Speaker 10: point that I'm making with all of this. There are
- 2:51:45Speaker 10: so many things that we're managing, and you know, unique
- 2:51:49Speaker 10: dynamics that sometimes have to do with people, with what
- 2:51:52Speaker 10: people assuming. Sometimes they don't those dynamics. And where I
- 2:51:57Speaker 10: missed on was, Hey, there's a lot of stuff that's
- 2:51:59Speaker 10: going on on. Everybody makes the assumptions that that's exclusively
- 2:52:03Speaker 10: what it's about. What is the truth is? Is that
- 2:52:06Speaker 10: going into that it was you know, I'm like, shoot,
- 2:52:09Speaker 10: what is the best way to handle this? Because man,
- 2:52:12Speaker 10: you know, it's a cool, great night for Tye and
- 2:52:16Speaker 10: his family, excited, you know that we have a potential guy,
- 2:52:21Speaker 10: but also respectful and mindful of the fact that I
- 2:52:23Speaker 10: don't want this to be misunderstood. You know, I'm super
- 2:52:27Speaker 10: grateful that Matthew Stafford is our guy, and so I
- 2:52:30Speaker 10: would have been naturally just a little bit more reserved.
- 2:52:32Speaker 10: But then there's other things that you're dealing with. And
- 2:52:34Speaker 10: so if you said, hey, if you had that over again,
- 2:52:36Speaker 10: how would you be? I would have made sure that
- 2:52:39Speaker 10: I was more you know, I wasn't. I was being
- 2:52:42Speaker 10: you know, I wasn't mentally resilient to be able to
- 2:52:44Speaker 10: snap out of some things that I was bothered about
- 2:52:47Speaker 10: that had nothing to do with what the interpretation was.
- 2:52:50Speaker 10: And then I was also going to be more reserved
- 2:52:52Speaker 10: by nature. But as a result of the combination of
- 2:52:54Speaker 10: those things, I missed the boat big time. And what
- 2:52:57Speaker 10: I felt bad about as it became a story, right
- 2:52:59Speaker 10: and really that you know, it looked like lesson I
- 2:53:02Speaker 10: weren't connected. That that couldn't be further from the truth.
- 2:53:04Speaker 4: He's up there talking and you're kind of that's right.
- 2:53:06Speaker 10: Which is very different than any press conference that we
- 2:53:09Speaker 10: typically do, and and my my vibe was off. We
- 2:53:12Speaker 10: always talk about the energy that's bad energy.
- 2:53:14Speaker 4: That night.
- 2:53:17Speaker 10: It was an energy, vampire.
- 2:53:20Speaker 4: Energy, energy right there. That's exactly right.
- 2:53:25Speaker 10: My guy. But and then I felt bad, you know
- 2:53:27Speaker 10: that that there that it became a bigger story, and
- 2:53:30Speaker 10: then the next thing, you know, and then you're then
- 2:53:32Speaker 10: you go course correct and then becomes a news story
- 2:53:34Speaker 10: and you're like, oh, what the hell, let's go. No,
- 2:53:41Speaker 10: that was yeah, Hey, I'm excited to have you. Man,
- 2:53:44Speaker 10: chill the fun out, you know, I love it. Man,
- 2:53:47Speaker 10: We're we're excited to have you. But it's like, hey,
- 2:53:49Speaker 10: you know, let's learn from Matthew and then we'll we'll
- 2:53:52Speaker 10: see what's what's next. Thing.
- 2:53:53Speaker 4: I love.
- 2:53:55Speaker 10: We've just been because stud like he's he is man
- 2:54:00Speaker 10: and getting a chance to meet his family and stuff
- 2:54:02Speaker 10: like that. Like I really like his story. I like
- 2:54:05Speaker 10: what I've gotten to know about him in a short
- 2:54:07Speaker 10: amount of time, and like it was cool. I got
- 2:54:10Speaker 10: a chance to meet his brother. He's got a younger brother,
- 2:54:13Speaker 10: you know, and he's a pretty pretty good player too,
- 2:54:15Speaker 10: I said. You know, so they come in the day
- 2:54:17Speaker 10: after the draft and meet you know, meet his sister,
- 2:54:20Speaker 10: his mom, dad, his brother, and you know, you could
- 2:54:22Speaker 10: just see this is a cool family and they got
- 2:54:24Speaker 10: a great way about themselves and just a good vibe.
- 2:54:26Speaker 10: And it was fun spending some time with them, you know.
- 2:54:29Speaker 10: And I look at his younger brother and I heard
- 2:54:30Speaker 10: he's a pretty good player. Said, hey, you're a pretty
- 2:54:32Speaker 10: good player. Goes throw a hundred touchdown passes in the
- 2:54:34Speaker 10: last two years, I said, all right, here we go.
- 2:54:39Speaker 10: But Ty's got a nice humility and and and here's
- 2:54:43Speaker 10: what's cool about about him is is you can tell
- 2:54:45Speaker 10: he is super grateful to come in and get a
- 2:54:48Speaker 10: chance to be able to learn from one of the
- 2:54:49Speaker 10: all time greats. It's one of the luckiest things watch
- 2:54:52Speaker 10: him go to work.
- 2:54:53Speaker 3: A lot of players want to come in play a
- 2:54:55Speaker 3: first round pick. I should be playing immediately. But the
- 2:54:58Speaker 3: fact that you have a Hall of Famer sitting in
- 2:54:59Speaker 3: front of you where you can sit back for one
- 2:55:01Speaker 3: to three years and be like, I'm just gonna learn,
- 2:55:03Speaker 3: choke up everything. So one it's my turn. All the
- 2:55:05Speaker 3: mistakes that I would have made I can fix to
- 2:55:07Speaker 3: watching him.
- 2:55:08Speaker 10: And I think scene is better than anything you can say, Like,
- 2:55:11Speaker 10: no matter how good of a coach David Going or
- 2:55:14Speaker 10: Nate shield House or you know, when with some of
- 2:55:16Speaker 10: the things that we're trying to give feedback to, there's
- 2:55:18Speaker 10: nothing like being able to watch a guy model away
- 2:55:21Speaker 10: and how he goes about it and like the consistency
- 2:55:24Speaker 10: of his approach, like that's that's what makes him really special.
- 2:55:28Speaker 3: And the amount of reps he'll be able to get
- 2:55:29Speaker 3: because I'm sure Steph, you know he's got some breaks
- 2:55:31Speaker 3: during camp. Yeah, I have a couple of hey going
- 2:55:36Speaker 3: for a little bit, yeah.
- 2:55:37Speaker 4: Yeah, but he is the man he is. I am
- 2:55:41Speaker 4: a huge fan of Neil Latrosh. He is awesome as
- 2:55:44Speaker 4: am I. You know, to me, it was the little
- 2:55:47Speaker 4: the little stuff we know about just our small relationship
- 2:55:50Speaker 4: with ty, Like you know, you got McVeigh talking about
- 2:55:53Speaker 4: staffers seing, blah blah blah. Like if you're a guy
- 2:55:55Speaker 4: that's in tie spot, you just already know the deal
- 2:55:57Speaker 4: and you know the game like and.
- 2:55:58Speaker 3: He's been you know, the opposite waiting.
- 2:56:01Speaker 10: Especially what I like, what I liked is like you
- 2:56:04Speaker 10: know Alabama, you talk about high pressure, you know where
- 2:56:08Speaker 10: you know everybody loves football. You get an opportunity and
- 2:56:11Speaker 10: you you finally now have you've earned the right to
- 2:56:13Speaker 10: be able to start, and you play Florida State, you know,
- 2:56:17Speaker 10: And I mean that was a big deal in Tuscaloosa.
- 2:56:19Speaker 10: And then you look at what he went on a
- 2:56:21Speaker 10: little bit of a run, but like you know that
- 2:56:23Speaker 10: that SEC football and really in a lot of these
- 2:56:26Speaker 10: college atmospheres and environments nowadays, you get a chance to
- 2:56:30Speaker 10: really feel what it's like to handle a lot of
- 2:56:33Speaker 10: those pressure situations that inevitably come up at.
- 2:56:35Speaker 4: This level, dude, and in the nil area ton Il
- 2:56:38Speaker 4: area too, Like he sat behind yeah, oh yeah, like sorry,
- 2:56:44Speaker 4: he sat behind multiple guys and didn't leave. I mean
- 2:56:48Speaker 4: a lot of guys will just go. Like because when
- 2:56:51Speaker 4: we realized that we were we were kind of boys
- 2:56:53Speaker 4: with him. Like he came up to be in Nashville
- 2:56:55Speaker 4: at this spot called Boost Boost Fit Club club. He
- 2:56:59Speaker 4: was young, yeah, and he was talking to me about
- 2:57:01Speaker 4: like waiting your turn, like the whole be a wolf
- 2:57:03Speaker 4: thing that I've spoke about before. But I remember listening
- 2:57:06Speaker 4: to him and looking at him. I didn't know who
- 2:57:08Speaker 4: he was thinking, like some white boy talking about when
- 2:57:10Speaker 4: when this is I think when he's a sophomore or freshman. Yeah,
- 2:57:15Speaker 4: And I just remember thinking, oh, bro, you're probably not
- 2:57:18Speaker 4: gonna play. In my head, I'm thinking, who is this dude?
- 2:57:22Speaker 4: You're probably not going to play at Alabama. But just
- 2:57:24Speaker 4: talking to him about being like a backup and everything else.
- 2:57:27Speaker 4: And then when he hits us with like be a
- 2:57:28Speaker 4: fucking wolf, Like when we went to one of the
- 2:57:30Speaker 4: games and I realized that this is the dude that
- 2:57:32Speaker 4: I spoke two years ago and that he stuck around,
- 2:57:35Speaker 4: I'm like, Yo, this dude, I'm just a massive fan
- 2:57:38Speaker 4: total of Tys Simpson. So it's so easy to be.
- 2:57:41Speaker 3: Just another person wants to bounce from place to place.
- 2:57:43Speaker 3: He did as much money as possible, especially if he's
- 2:57:45Speaker 3: a dude talking.
- 2:57:45Speaker 4: About his family.
- 2:57:46Speaker 3: It's like, clearly this kid was raised right, we can
- 2:57:48Speaker 3: tell that you made a commitment. You're gonna stay with
- 2:57:50Speaker 3: this commitment regardless if things go your way or not.
- 2:57:52Speaker 3: And it's gone his way.
- 2:57:53Speaker 10: Yeah, And when you hear the explanation, because I think
- 2:57:56Speaker 10: what I'm careful to judge on is is like, Okay,
- 2:57:59Speaker 10: let's understand reasons. Because a lot of guys that are
- 2:58:02Speaker 10: even in our building now that have transferred, it was
- 2:58:04Speaker 10: because a wanted a higher level of competition or there
- 2:58:07Speaker 10: was a coaching staff change. I made a commitment to
- 2:58:09Speaker 10: go play for this coach, and I was fine. You know,
- 2:58:12Speaker 10: so each situation as it's unique narrative, But you were
- 2:58:15Speaker 10: asking about the nil thing.
- 2:58:16Speaker 3: It is wild, Yeah, how is it coaching these kids?
- 2:58:19Speaker 3: And I didn't mean to cut you off, but it's
- 2:58:21Speaker 3: like we talked about like being critical of guys and anytime,
- 2:58:24Speaker 3: like it seems like if you're critical of somebody. Guys
- 2:58:25Speaker 3: would just pick up their suitcase. Big, I'm gonna to
- 2:58:27Speaker 3: the next school that's paying this money. Now you're here
- 2:58:29Speaker 3: contractually obligated to where it's like you can't just go
- 2:58:32Speaker 3: and ask for a trade, Like you don't do that
- 2:58:33Speaker 3: unless you're like a vet who's like earn the right
- 2:58:35Speaker 3: block up. And so now you got these cats are
- 2:58:37Speaker 3: probably in like year two, year three, and it's like
- 2:58:39Speaker 3: I'm not getting what the fuck I want, Yeah, and
- 2:58:41Speaker 3: I can't do shit about it. Like how has that
- 2:58:43Speaker 3: been for you? Like identifying and like essentially changing the leaderships.
- 2:58:47Speaker 10: Identify guys because I still think in the midst of
- 2:58:49Speaker 10: all these other things that are going on, there's still
- 2:58:51Speaker 10: some people that are about that life that have that
- 2:58:54Speaker 10: humility action you know there, and they're about like understanding,
- 2:58:59Speaker 10: you know, hardship and being able to you know, overcome
- 2:59:02Speaker 10: some different things. And so we work really hard to
- 2:59:05Speaker 10: try to identify, you know, like all kinds of guys
- 2:59:08Speaker 10: like the you know, coach Peterson calls them the okags,
- 2:59:11Speaker 10: like our kind of guys. And so that's what you
- 2:59:14Speaker 10: really try to identify and find through the vetting, through
- 2:59:18Speaker 10: the background, through their journeys, and that's where I haven't
- 2:59:21Speaker 10: felt it as much for our team. But then you
- 2:59:23Speaker 10: get a chance to talk to you know, whether it's
- 2:59:25Speaker 10: some of my buddies that are college coaches, the landscape
- 2:59:28Speaker 10: of it, some college coaches that come here and I'm like, man,
- 2:59:30Speaker 10: that is so exhausting thinking about that. And then there's
- 2:59:34Speaker 10: a now you get a pass to almost you know,
- 2:59:37Speaker 10: say hey, I'm not I'm not going to stick with
- 2:59:40Speaker 10: this and I'm just gonna run away. Not every example,
- 2:59:42Speaker 10: but a lot more excuses to do that.
- 2:59:44Speaker 4: It's just nuts to me. The the the talent pool
- 2:59:47Speaker 4: that you would have in rounds like four to seven,
- 2:59:51Speaker 4: where those guys really could come out, we just choose
- 2:59:54Speaker 4: to they're choosing to say school because there was a
- 2:59:55Speaker 4: lot of thing I guess here on the draft where
- 2:59:57Speaker 4: it's like and this is like the media, but they're
- 2:59:59Speaker 4: like after the first fifty picks, it was like everyone's
- 3:00:01Speaker 4: kind of ready to go home. Yeah, Like I could
- 3:00:02Speaker 4: have probably got drafted in this draft class, but you
- 3:00:04Speaker 4: would have been because guys would have went back top
- 3:00:06Speaker 4: three round, you know what I mean, back to the school.
- 3:00:08Speaker 4: That's what I'm Yeah, and you had seven years, say
- 3:00:11Speaker 4: there's nobody else out there. You go through the COVID time,
- 3:00:14Speaker 4: it's like you kind of thirty, Well, I'm going to
- 3:00:16Speaker 4: rookie this Week's.
- 3:00:17Speaker 10: Wild about that too? Is is then you start talking
- 3:00:19Speaker 10: about the amount of guys that are actually taking pay
- 3:00:21Speaker 10: cuts now professional. I mean we're sitting there, you know,
- 3:00:25Speaker 10: Jimmy Lake, our DB'ST coach, We're talking. We got four
- 3:00:28Speaker 10: undrafted rookies in the dB room, you know, and you know,
- 3:00:32Speaker 10: just casual conversation, what these guys were making last year.
- 3:00:35Speaker 10: I mean you're taking major pay cuts?
- 3:00:37Speaker 3: Yeah right, you know some of these guys, you know
- 3:00:40Speaker 3: a couple years.
- 3:00:41Speaker 4: I love being quoted as he doesn't have to touch
- 3:00:43Speaker 4: his NFL contract money. Yeah, because of the NIL he
- 3:00:46Speaker 4: made it not to day amazing, just.
- 3:00:47Speaker 3: Nuts, man, absolutely nuts. The NIL is crazy. I would
- 3:00:50Speaker 3: have never I'm so happy I wasn't a part of
- 3:00:52Speaker 3: the nil are I would have died.
- 3:00:55Speaker 4: I would have died?
- 3:00:55Speaker 5: Do you think so?
- 3:00:56Speaker 4: Dude? Well, you know what the human being you're looking
- 3:00:59Speaker 4: at right now?
- 3:00:59Speaker 10: Yeah, what's wild is is you know what that's what's
- 3:01:02Speaker 10: crazy is is because the amount of money now these
- 3:01:04Speaker 10: guys have access all right, a spring break, no more
- 3:01:07Speaker 10: for Lauderdale's or you know, hey, they're they're going They're
- 3:01:12Speaker 10: going to Miami, They're staying at the nicest places. They're
- 3:01:14Speaker 10: going to the Bahamas, They're going to Cabo. I mean,
- 3:01:17Speaker 10: so these guys have access to some stuff that you know,
- 3:01:21Speaker 10: can be problematic, problematic indeed, like and.
- 3:01:25Speaker 3: They also have like breaks from like like the month
- 3:01:27Speaker 3: of May and June, like they don't they just go
- 3:01:29Speaker 3: and train wherever they want. Now it's where. And when
- 3:01:31Speaker 3: I was at Michigan, it was like you get four
- 3:01:33Speaker 3: weeks off a year. It was like Christmas break, and
- 3:01:35Speaker 3: I'm sure you're at Michigan.
- 3:01:37Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure you hand to God. The only
- 3:01:41Speaker 4: thing I ever got.
- 3:01:42Speaker 10: Actually, do believe you.
- 3:01:43Speaker 4: I believe.
- 3:01:45Speaker 3: I would also I would have told you by now right.
- 3:01:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the only thing.
- 3:01:49Speaker 3: I was at a restaurant and I got a chicken
- 3:01:51Speaker 3: sandwich and waffle fries and I went to go pay
- 3:01:54Speaker 3: the billing, like, don't worry about it. I thought, I'm
- 3:01:57Speaker 3: fucking living out there. Then you hear stories about Matthew Stafford,
- 3:02:01Speaker 3: but you know what, did you hear the junior year? No,
- 3:02:04Speaker 3: so he left his junior he was the first overall,
- 3:02:06Speaker 3: but if you know that apparently allegedly, Yeah, there was
- 3:02:10Speaker 3: a Duffel bag of like five hundred thousand dollars in
- 3:02:12Speaker 3: his mailbox to stay.
- 3:02:13Speaker 4: Is that right? He this is.
- 3:02:15Speaker 3: I've never spoke to him, Is he said that story? No,
- 3:02:18Speaker 3: but other Georgia Bulldogs, other Georgia Bulldogs have told me.
- 3:02:21Speaker 3: Now a friend had said, yeah, he's really close with
- 3:02:25Speaker 3: the family. He said that fifty k Now it's five hundred.
- 3:02:28Speaker 4: Yeah, it was wrong.
- 3:02:29Speaker 3: It was on the podcast.

- 3:04:06Speaker 10: would love to have you, but I basically, you know,
- 3:04:08Speaker 10: what I decided to do was just kind of in
- 3:04:10Speaker 10: the cab because there was no good way to draw
- 3:04:12Speaker 10: the line. And uh, and then I remember I saw
- 3:04:15Speaker 10: Neil Latrosh, who I've gotten to be really close with.
- 3:04:17Speaker 10: Neil and his daughters and my wife are friends. But
- 3:04:21Speaker 10: Neil means a lot to me. I love Neil. And
- 3:04:23Speaker 10: he comes up to me, and he and Odell have
- 3:04:24Speaker 10: a relationship, you know, and he's like, he's like, I think, uh,
- 3:04:29Speaker 10: I think Odell might just show up. I'm like, what
- 3:04:31Speaker 10: do you mean. He's like, I told him where the
- 3:04:33Speaker 10: wedding was. I'm like, ah, that'll be great.
- 3:04:36Speaker 4: You know.
- 3:04:36Speaker 10: So Odell does show up, you know, I tell my
- 3:04:39Speaker 10: wife and she always really liked, you know. Odell's as
- 3:04:42Speaker 10: charismatic and has fun, showed up his own bottle of tequila,
- 3:04:46Speaker 10: pulls a seat right up, he's dancing. He was one
- 3:04:48Speaker 10: of the major lives of the party, and so it
- 3:04:51Speaker 10: was a well welcomed wedding crasher. But hey, he had
- 3:04:53Speaker 10: the courage to show up. He was awesome. Though he's
- 3:04:58Speaker 10: I still keep in touch with odell him.
- 3:05:00Speaker 4: Dude.
- 3:05:00Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know where to go with this,
- 3:05:02Speaker 3: but just want to say again, Neil Latrosh is the
- 3:05:05Speaker 3: man he is. When I got my al redone, like
- 3:05:07Speaker 3: I went over.
- 3:05:08Speaker 4: To his house. Yeah, we had dinner.
- 3:05:10Speaker 3: We were sitting out there, We're talking about Andrew. Well,
- 3:05:12Speaker 3: he's just the greatest.
- 3:05:13Speaker 10: Guy and he welcomes you. That's the separator to me,
- 3:05:16Speaker 10: is is like he's obviously this amazing orthopedic surgeon, great hands,
- 3:05:21Speaker 10: all this stuff. He's you know, all these patents on
- 3:05:23Speaker 10: some different things that move some of these surgeries forward
- 3:05:25Speaker 10: to accelerate the healing process. The bedside manner, the connection,
- 3:05:29Speaker 10: like the confidence, like how much better did you probably
- 3:05:32Speaker 10: feel about your recovery? You know you made That's a
- 3:05:36Speaker 10: big deal just.
- 3:05:37Speaker 3: Him, but his team as well, Like he went with
- 3:05:39Speaker 3: his team. They were all like the same, like working
- 3:05:41Speaker 3: on whether it was flextion, extension, all the things. But
- 3:05:44Speaker 3: that the way they went about the process just made
- 3:05:46Speaker 3: you feel like there's fifty people in this room, everyone's
- 3:05:48Speaker 3: getting worked on, but you feel like you're the only
- 3:05:50Speaker 3: guy that's and that that and that what a cool
- 3:05:52Speaker 3: thing to say. Yeah, and Neil, the way he walks
- 3:05:54Speaker 3: into a room too. It feels like he's on one
- 3:05:56Speaker 3: of those walking escalators, like he's just aloys.
- 3:05:59Speaker 10: But he's got a present.
- 3:06:00Speaker 4: He comes in. He's got this calm confidence about dude.
- 3:06:03Speaker 3: Seems like he just he's man, bro, he is. He's

- 3:06:18Speaker 10: daughters who he would do. You know, you talk about

- 3:06:24Speaker 10: awesome girls that he loves him so much, but never
- 3:06:26Speaker 10: had a son, you know, and so like the the
- 3:06:29Speaker 10: athletic connection that he makes and the care like I mean,
- 3:06:32Speaker 10: you probably felt like, man, this is like a swaggy dad,
- 3:06:35Speaker 10: Like I mean, he's and he's cool.
- 3:06:37Speaker 3: Man. He's had a lot to you can tell, Like
- 3:06:39Speaker 3: Neil really likes some nice things and he's not not

- 3:07:01Speaker 3: absolutely come on some of the stories.

- 3:08:19Speaker 3: so seventeen grams of protein.
- 3:08:21Speaker 4: This one's from a Jake Christiansen nine. How do you
- 3:08:26Speaker 4: build a call sheet from week to week?
- 3:08:28Speaker 10: I mean that that is a it's a good question,
- 3:08:31Speaker 10: but really by the way that we segment the game
- 3:08:34Speaker 10: plan so easiest way that I can answer that question
- 3:08:37Speaker 10: without being too long winded. Early downs, like your normal
- 3:08:40Speaker 10: down in distances and your get back on tracks, which
- 3:08:43Speaker 10: is your first and second downs in the normal field.
- 3:08:45Speaker 10: That's what we're introducing to the players on Wednesday, putting
- 3:08:48Speaker 10: together Tuesday on Thursday, your third down, fourth downs in
- 3:08:51Speaker 10: the normal field. You're doing that kind of stuff. Introducing
- 3:08:55Speaker 10: that to the players, your red area stuff on Friday,
- 3:08:57Speaker 10: but situationally, the main situations that come up normal down
- 3:09:01Speaker 10: and distance, get back on track, your third and fourth
- 3:09:03Speaker 10: down calls, your red area calls, and then if you're
- 3:09:07Speaker 10: backed up or two minutes or in some of those
- 3:09:08Speaker 10: four minute situations where you want to ice the game,
- 3:09:11Speaker 10: so segment it by that and you try to I
- 3:09:14Speaker 10: think we've been better about being able to do that,
- 3:09:16Speaker 10: but by situation, no different than you know the answer
- 3:09:19Speaker 10: to that, Yeah yeah, Jay Christensen.
- 3:09:21Speaker 4: Didn't tho yeah, yeah, yeah, Jay Christian. He wanted to know.
- 3:09:23Speaker 4: That's right. They break it down.
- 3:09:25Speaker 3: This comes from at SGT Scuba twenty two, having coach
- 3:09:31Speaker 3: established future Hall of famers like Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald.
- 3:09:34Speaker 3: What is the key to holding young players to the
- 3:09:36Speaker 3: same professional standard.
- 3:09:37Speaker 10: Well, I think the first part is is having those guys,
- 3:09:41Speaker 10: because I remember my grandpa said this getting a chance.
- 3:09:44Speaker 10: You know, he was the forty nine ers GM for
- 3:09:46Speaker 10: a hand four years. He was a part of all
- 3:09:48Speaker 10: five championships that they won, and I was asking him,
- 3:09:51Speaker 10: how did you guys sustain a certain level? And there
- 3:09:53Speaker 10: was a lot of things, but one of the consistent.
- 3:09:54Speaker 10: Themes that came up were, you know, our best players,
- 3:09:58Speaker 10: our leaders were the examples. So then that was what
- 3:10:00Speaker 10: the standard became. If Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Joe Montana,
- 3:10:04Speaker 10: Roger Craig, Ronnie a Lot, if this is how they
- 3:10:06Speaker 10: go about their business, then what does it look like,
- 3:10:09Speaker 10: you know, for these younger guys to come in. That's
- 3:10:11Speaker 10: what's been really cool from the very jump. You know,
- 3:10:14Speaker 10: you're talking about the whitworst of the world, the Aaron Donalds,
- 3:10:17Speaker 10: you know Higbee, you know us being together ten years,
- 3:10:20Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford Golf, like all those guys, gurlies, they modeled
- 3:10:24Speaker 10: the way and and that means now, if that's what
- 3:10:27Speaker 10: they look like, then everybody kind of falls in line.
- 3:10:29Speaker 10: And so I think it's super important to make sure
- 3:10:31Speaker 10: the people that unit or that you put in those
- 3:10:33Speaker 10: leadership positions are showing more than anything that they can say.
- 3:10:37Speaker 3: Dude, Todd Gurley, such a g or what dude? He
- 3:10:41Speaker 3: was awesome?
- 3:10:42Speaker 10: He like about the seventeen game when we played you guys,
- 3:10:45Speaker 10: you should take the screen. He and I mean ran
- 3:10:49Speaker 10: away from Dori Jackson, who could roll. And this is
- 3:10:52Speaker 10: a guy that was getting a high volume amount of carries.
- 3:10:55Speaker 10: He was unbelievable.
- 3:10:58Speaker 3: It was a game up until that point.
- 3:11:00Speaker 4: It was a close.
- 3:11:00Speaker 10: Man, you guys were getting after us, is it Robert Quinn?
- 3:11:05Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, that's fucking arm over mode he gave.
- 3:11:09Speaker 10: He was ad got that from him. Yeah, he was
- 3:11:13Speaker 10: his body and he was an unbelievable race. He was
- 3:11:15Speaker 10: Robert Quinn and.
- 3:11:16Speaker 3: You could tell he was like so uh like the
- 3:11:19Speaker 3: way he went about his moves, like he knew exactly
- 3:11:21Speaker 3: where he was on the field in relationship to the
- 3:11:24Speaker 3: quarterback based on the steps he was taking. Yep, so
- 3:11:26Speaker 3: much so it's like I almost don't know where I'm
- 3:11:28Speaker 3: at based on the way he's moving.
- 3:11:29Speaker 4: He was.
- 3:11:30Speaker 10: It was impressive and there were those those great ones.
- 3:11:32Speaker 10: I think they never give you a relief down.
- 3:11:34Speaker 4: Yeah, he was.
- 3:11:35Speaker 10: You were working and he.
- 3:11:36Speaker 3: Was even when he was at Miami for a year
- 3:11:38Speaker 3: or two. We had a game we played in Miami
- 3:11:41Speaker 3: and there was like this, there was the longest game
- 3:11:43Speaker 3: in NFL history because there was like thunderstorms or whatever,
- 3:11:45Speaker 3: so there was this massive break. But there's like a
- 3:11:47Speaker 3: minute thirty left in the half and I'm on two
- 3:11:49Speaker 3: minutes and that's like, you know, like, yeah, the stress
- 3:11:51Speaker 3: point for an offensive lineman is two minutes. Yes, saw
- 3:11:53Speaker 3: him like in the locker room, shoulder pads off, being
- 3:11:55Speaker 3: like the minute I get back on the field, they
- 3:11:57Speaker 3: got Quinn. Yeah, and I have to go through this
- 3:11:58Speaker 3: two minute first play he hits that long short edge.
- 3:12:01Speaker 3: Luckily we got the ball out, but I'm like this
- 3:12:03Speaker 3: motherfucker dude.
- 3:12:04Speaker 4: He was impressed. Was he was awesome, really really impressive.
- 3:12:06Speaker 4: But Gurley hitting that screen? Dude? Yeah, how Bortle was
- 3:12:09Speaker 4: it with Girley when the knee stuff was happening?
- 3:12:11Speaker 3: Man, because he was like, uh, he was like.
- 3:12:13Speaker 4: The biggest contract or something at the time.
- 3:12:16Speaker 3: His flame burned so bright for those like two three
- 3:12:19Speaker 3: years he was.
- 3:12:21Speaker 10: Mar He reset the market. But like he was, he
- 3:12:26Speaker 10: was such a He was so smart and so explosive,
- 3:12:29Speaker 10: had such a good understand the game came natural, but
- 3:12:32Speaker 10: he worked at it. But he was He was incredible.
- 3:12:35Speaker 10: And and the cool thing is is like never even
- 3:12:37Speaker 10: acknowledged that, you know, the knee, wouldn't even really like
- 3:12:39Speaker 10: acknowledge it. But he was. Man, it was It was
- 3:12:42Speaker 10: really cool. We we had some fun and he he was.
- 3:12:45Speaker 10: It was a blessing to coach him.
- 3:12:47Speaker 4: He's a he was a monster. We have one here
- 3:12:48Speaker 4: from a from Klump's friend Sean, who was a diehard
- 3:12:52Speaker 4: RAMS fan. From one correctly spelled shown to another. You've
- 3:12:56Speaker 4: coached teams with stars, rookies and constant turnover. What's one
- 3:13:00Speaker 4: non negotiable standard you insist on every year, no matter
- 3:13:03Speaker 4: who's in the building.
- 3:13:04Speaker 10: Ah, that's a that's a great one. One non negotiable
- 3:13:09Speaker 10: standard is is really? I think it's about being a
- 3:13:12Speaker 10: good teammate, you know, like in in the consist I
- 3:13:15Speaker 10: don't know that there's any one non negotiable as much
- 3:13:18Speaker 10: as there is like an expectation of like, hey man,
- 3:13:21Speaker 10: you come in here. We we are going to be
- 3:13:24Speaker 10: mindful of. I love the different personalities that everybody has.
- 3:13:27Speaker 10: But there's a couple of things that we're going to
- 3:13:29Speaker 10: be consistent on.
- 3:13:30Speaker 4: What we expect.
- 3:13:31Speaker 10: We expect you to work, and this isn't one, but
- 3:13:33Speaker 10: I'll give you a quick that we expect you to work.
- 3:13:35Speaker 10: We expect you to have enjoyment for how we go
- 3:13:38Speaker 10: about it, enjoyment of other success. We expect you to
- 3:13:41Speaker 10: have the right mindset, like being your best regardless of
- 3:13:43Speaker 10: the circumstances. And I expect you to bring the right
- 3:13:46Speaker 10: kind of energy that's authentic to you, you know, on
- 3:13:48Speaker 10: it as consistent of a basis as possible. You know
- 3:13:52Speaker 10: that those are the kind of things. But it's like
- 3:13:54Speaker 10: really like you're either making situations better or you're not.
- 3:13:58Speaker 10: And we expect everybody to elevate the space that they're
- 3:14:01Speaker 10: in with their vibe and the way that they go
- 3:14:03Speaker 10: about stuff and not perfection, you know, but like consistency
- 3:14:07Speaker 10: in that.
- 3:14:09Speaker 4: You know what we could use right now about light?
- 3:14:11Speaker 4: Ice cold?
- 3:14:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it's early, but still five o'clock somewhere.
- 3:14:17Speaker 3: Ask him the bud like question, coach McVeigh. Yes, you
- 3:14:22Speaker 3: know how people would do anything for an ice cold bud?
- 3:14:25Speaker 4: Light? What is something that you would do anything for?
- 3:14:31Speaker 10: Can't say family, can't say family, can't say family like
- 3:14:39Speaker 10: outside of family stuff.
- 3:14:41Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, they brought hours on the show and he goes,
- 3:14:43Speaker 3: I do anything for a good steak, a good steak.

- 3:15:00Speaker 10: to be This is This is cheesy, but I really
- 3:15:02Speaker 10: mean this, like to consistently be the person I want
- 3:15:05Speaker 10: to be, to help us come together as great as
- 3:15:08Speaker 10: we can, to go do some special ship this coming season.
- 3:15:11Speaker 4: Oh God, that's cheesy.
- 3:15:13Speaker 3: I know it's cheesy, but it's kind of nice.
- 3:15:15Speaker 10: That's the point.
- 3:15:16Speaker 3: It might always be the guy you want to be.
- 3:15:18Speaker 3: You do anything to always be the guy of your standard.
- 3:15:20Speaker 10: Here's what here's what I would do. I would do
- 3:15:23Speaker 10: anything to take back my behavior on Draft night.
- 3:15:35Speaker 4: I'm back. God that what you were to shake you
- 3:15:45Speaker 4: guys having me on bro like it is crazy what
- 3:15:50Speaker 4: you've done, because when you got hired, I'll never forget.
- 3:15:54Speaker 4: Like me, you and Ko went eight at Matchbox down
- 3:15:57Speaker 4: on one louse because you ended up getting hired and
- 3:16:00Speaker 4: you weren't expecting to get hired in the cycle. Because
- 3:16:03Speaker 4: I want to say, maybe the week before when you
- 3:16:05Speaker 4: were out visiting, like doing your visits or out here.
- 3:16:09Speaker 4: I remember sitting with Coach Phillips West Phillips and it's like, man,
- 3:16:12Speaker 4: I don't think they're letting him leave the building because
- 3:16:15Speaker 4: you crushed the interview and again like you're getting like
- 3:16:18Speaker 4: Coach shield House, he was starting to get in the
- 3:16:20Speaker 4: head coaching talks and conversations. Like anybody who's trying to
- 3:16:24Speaker 4: be a head coach, usually they get in the cycle
- 3:16:26Speaker 4: first to do interviews and then eventually a year or
- 3:16:29Speaker 4: two down the road, the hiring happens. Like knowing that
- 3:16:33Speaker 4: you once you hear your name first, got in the
- 3:16:35Speaker 4: hat and the rams were floored and wouldn't let you
- 3:16:38Speaker 4: leave the building. Then knowing that that lunch we were
- 3:16:41Speaker 4: having and you're talking about leaving and you kind of
- 3:16:43Speaker 4: weren't expecting it. It's just, dude, it's so impressive to
- 3:16:46Speaker 4: see what you've done and clearly through this conversation, like
- 3:16:49Speaker 4: how you've grown through your adversities. But dude, it's been
- 3:16:52Speaker 4: badass to watch it. Now.
- 3:16:54Speaker 10: I appreciate that that means a lot. You know that
- 3:16:56Speaker 10: those those memories and even just sitting down, it's a
- 3:16:59Speaker 10: lot of cool things that are cycling about. You know,
- 3:17:02Speaker 10: our relationship and you know, just the appreciation for the
