• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Thursday Morning, Live from the Raising Caine Studio. We were
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: just at the end hour number two talking about Los
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Angeles Lakers selling for twelve and a half million dollars,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: which far exceeds any sale for a NBA team, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: it's I wanted to bring him back out because I
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: wanted to ask Taylor what his thoughts are about his
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: favorite guy in the whole world, Jerry Jones, and like
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: what he must be thinking right now for the valuation
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys has always been kind of like
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: you know, in theory and known that they probably have
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the biggest valuation on their sports team, you know, bigger
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: than anybody else.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: So you know, what does he got to be thinking.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Of his team's worth fifteen twenty twenty five billion estimating fifteen.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know, whatever company puts out the evaluation
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: of all sports, they are once again the most valuable
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: franchise and professional sports fifteen and a half billions.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: So his network immediately goes up by the sale of
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: the Lakers.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, immediately, but like how much is fifteen billion high? Now,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: he's like an NBA team went twelve and a half.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: He's pretty much all of it because like Richard bitcheeering
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: the break like it says, he's what sixty three per
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: sixty three, and then Stephen Jones has some that's his son,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: like Charlotte Jones has some investments taken in, and Charlotte
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Jones is over the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader organization as well,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: So like it's basically that entire family is like the
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: owner of the Cowboys, So uh, they're gonna have some
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: money one day. With Jerry is that he's never gonna
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: sell because he will not give up control.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: No, what look for the laundress Bold predictions this season
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: On that note, I'm bringing it back.
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: He looked awful in a video I saw the other day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: What are we doing that? I'm excited for those.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: We're gonna end of this month before I guess we got.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: To do the game yeaheah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Before we's here because it's both in a field and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: college bold predictions. But yeah, I'm just if I'm I'm
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: thinking that the Cowboy's got to be more than fifteen
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: billion if the Lakers are at twelve and a half.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Because I know Jerry outright owns his stadium. I'm not
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: sure about the Lakers.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: They own their arena, I don't know, uh, but he
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: owns the same.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I believe he's got a business deal with the owner
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: of the Yankees too. I think they have like a
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: catering company that does all the stadium concessions and stuff
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: like that as well, So I'm sure that goes into
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the valuation. So look at the chops a lot of money.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: My god.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Bob Iger, the former CEO of Disney, I don't know
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: about like y'all, but the CEO of Maha doesn't get
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: paid like that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: But was it Bob Iger the CEO of Disney? Then
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: he wasn't? How he is again?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Great question that brought him back? Not real sure trying
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: to fix Disney. That's up. That's sounds right, No, I'm sure.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Else I remember that story.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, yeah, I just looked it up.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: When Disney just went to complete crap.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: So then they brought him back?
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Is it back now? Had new Ted Lasso came out?
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: You Ted last? I haven't watched it. It was the
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: first episode of the new season. Good. Yeah, I'm trying
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: to figure out where it's going.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: But typically if it's not sports on, my wife picks
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: whatever shows on.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair. And do you fall asleep first? Yeah, okay,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: so you definitely don't watch anything. Then I wake up
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: on the cow.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: One of the more that's like at the time that
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I watched stuff that I want to watch is.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Like, but because Lacy falls as sleep way way before me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: But we both liked it last, so I think everybody
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: can get behind that. I didn't love the third season,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: so I felt that it lost a little bit of
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: what made it good, which is stopped becoming more of
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: like a comedy and it was all about like the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: heartfelt stuff, which.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Is it was very much a drama in season three. Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Season one was heartfelt, but it was, you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: it was a comedy still and season three kind of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: lost at a little bit of the comedy.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I hope he gets back. Was it funny? Was episode
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: one funny? Yeah?
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: So I'm not I think I got about ten or
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: fifteen minutes left in that episode. But from what I've
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: seen from the first one, it's good because like he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: back in Kansas the you know, they come over from
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: the UK. First thing they want to do is go
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: get Kansas City barbecue. They love it, So I mean, yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: it's it's fun so far.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I feel like if you left the show with fifteen
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: minutes left, you weren't as interested.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: That's what I was about.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: It was a thirty minute show too, so this was
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: a week ago. Everything was a good baby, went way through,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: we stopped it, haven't picked.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: It back up yet.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Wasn't calling your name to come right back to it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: That's not a good sign dage at all.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Maybe I think it's more me than the indictment on
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: the show Ted last It doesn't seem like your thing.
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: I've never seen Ted Lasso, Okay.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: So that's I would think most of the populace, so
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: fifty percent of the people in this room and I
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: haven't seen it. I would I would have said, definitely,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: over like fifty percent of the population, he's seen it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: But when Jake's here, three out of four have seen it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: Because Jake loves Ted Lasso.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I knew about it from Jake. I don't know a
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: lot of people that talk about it other than.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I was laid to the party, like I just watched it, Like, oh,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know, January February.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I mean we just watched it. Hey, let me get so.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I was just looking at Louisiana Sports on that another article.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Hunt just dropped a article on there about the drama
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: between LSU and Jane Daniels and the picture popped up
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: of Jade Holden the Heisman trophy and Brian Kelly now
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to him with the backwards L. I know people really
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: want to hear about this, but what's your opinion on
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the L in general?
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: First, not the BACKWARDELL just there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I'm good with having some type of you know, tag
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: to where you take your pictures. I mean, the backwards
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: els tough.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: I agree that it's tough. I just find it really
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: funny that this is like such a hill that you're.
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: Going to die.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I want change.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I want change. That's what I'm hoping for. What's worse
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: backwards L or star position?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, equally equally as cringe to me. Backwards that's what
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I figure. Backwards L. For sure, I don't think it
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: gets much worse than that. I think, if you're going
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to be on that side, just don't put it up.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: So when we were at SEC media Days, we were there,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: we interviewed Wit Weeks and the L s U football
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: photographer was there and we took a picture and I
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: was on this side of Weeks and they said, throw
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: up the L and I said no. I was just
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: like fist like I was a fighter. But even if
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I was on the other side, I still wasn't thrown
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: up the L.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: Well, and somebody, I don't remember who it was, it
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: was somebody here like mentioned that picture to me and
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: how you had your fist up and I was like, well, yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: He's not going to throw up the L.
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: And they're like why and I was like, I don't know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: but he's not going to throw up the L.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I just remember the L s U from L s
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: U Sports was like, hey, throw up the l's.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: You're like, nah, Jake did, I'm good?
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: You were like can I do something else? Jake was
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: like yes, sir, yes, sir, absolutely, whatever you say, sir.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: And that's like sheep, what a sheep? Jake's a sheep.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever thrown up the l I mean,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: no one did forever.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: When did that become a thing or drone didn't do it?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. It's a good question. I don't know.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know when it became popular for football.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: I think somebody said it's like a track.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: It was a thing, yes, but like.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know, huh as an elshe track thing when
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: it started?
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all alash. Does Lane Kiffing do it? Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Lane has done it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Lane loves to throw the sideways one to the backward
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: ze and the sideway Z. Yeah, I'm I'm assuming the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: sideways just pointing because.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: That's always been a thing. You always pointed at the guy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: So that is a good thing.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: When you do a finger with your thumb, yeah, it's
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: kind of more awkward to put your thumb down.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: So when you when you do a finger pistol and
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you're a kid, you go peep you. Why does everybody
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: they use the trigger finger? But that you shouldn't, right, Well,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the barrel of the gun.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Would be it would be down here, down here.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: You would use your middle finger to pull the trigger.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: But there's also no handle of a gun.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Goes up.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's the hammer. That's the hammer. So you
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: could you could go hammerd down like this.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I always go, I always go hammer hats.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, this is more gun like I feel I don't
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: like that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: But then you can't do anything.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Say, the finger pistol doesn't like really resemble a pistol
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: at all, That's.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: What I'm saying.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Flip it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: That looks more like.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: A So you don't you don't you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: Could just.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, risk risk backwards.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so let us know if you're in the chat,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: how like, if you do a finger pistol, how are
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you pulling the trigger? Let us let us know how
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you're shooting it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: The people need to know how you shoot a finger gun.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Hey, look, we've made it this far without Jake and
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: a half weeks now we're we're rolling all we're kind.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Of I think it's in the wrist. Anybody do the
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: double finger. They're like, oh, that's true. If you double
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: the double finger pistol, it is risk.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: It's all risk. Man, this is blurry.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: It's from a TV copy, but uh not backwards. Got
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: a forward and backwards.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And we know what you mean.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: What if you just watched around this.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: That would take so much concentration. I'm screwing that off.

  Speaker 7: The other backwards. Yeah, my grandpa used to tell me
• 10:51

  Speaker 3: yourself a favor and make sure you're calling Tommy and
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: his team and let them show you exactly why they
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: are the best in the business, why they win those award.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: They are dependable, they're reliable, and they are efficient and
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: a lifetime warranty on everything that they installed. So go
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: check them out today. You are going to clearly see
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: the difference when you work with Tommy's going to go
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Tommy's dot com, all right. Jacob Hester had an awesome
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: opportunity to sit down and have a candid conversation with
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, who has been very elusive at times with
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of people in the media and there's a
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: lot of opinions being thrown out there about him. He
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: went off on Pat McAfee's show recently and destroyed Fauci.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: It was absolutely incredible. Go check that out if you haven't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: But he got a chance to sit down and just
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: talk ball and be real with him, and you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I gave him an icebreaker, an icebreaker story that I
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: think probably loosened him up a little bit, uh with
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: with when he met Aaron for the first time, so
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: that's the first.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: He's probably met him before. But like, sat out to
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: talk to him. Did you text Aaron? Text me after
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: the thing? He was like, Hey, I just had a
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: chat with your guy. He was He was talking good
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: about the interview.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: So but we wanted to play it for you because
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: we thought it was really interesting. And one of the
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: members of the Foxhall got to talk to got to
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: talk to Aaron Rodgers recently and a lot of other
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: folks around the league. But Alandra, let's play that interview
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: between Jacob Pester and Aaron Rodgers.
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: All right, welcome back in Serious six m NFL Radio.
• 15:49
  Speaker 12: Jacob Pester, Pat Kerwin here with you live from Steelers camp.
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: Gonna catch up with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Now, Aaron, we
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: appreciate time. Thanks hopping on with us.
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, my pleasure. We already off to a good start.
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: All right, So you know, cut up with your head
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: coach earlier. It started reminding me of times at Green
• 16:05
  Speaker 12: Bay and Nostalgia and some of the guys that you
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: play with. So the first question I wanted to ask you,
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: who's the complete liability on a road trip If I'm
• 16:13
  Speaker 12: choosing between Josh Sitton, Matt Flynn, John Kuhn, and TJ.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Lane.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: Oh my god, all four of them. Oh my gosh.
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: It got so crazy in the preseason, especially preseason was
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: when most of the pranks happened that Mike had to
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: put a stop to it because those four knuckleheads me
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: a little bit, were in a constant battle, include Graham
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: Harroll in that there was like a battle. These guys
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: would play cards in the back. They'd play Uker I
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: think and TJ and Joshua teammates, and Flynn and Kuhn
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: or Flynn and Grammar teammates, and somebody's always cheating and
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: ripping up the cards. We got to the hotel, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: the common practice was try and steal somebody's room key
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: to get up to the room and do some stuff
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: to their room. But the greatest prank ever was by
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Matt I believe, where he got the tape from the
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: training room and tape together just about everything in his room.
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: I'm talking like bed sheets, you know, pillowcases, towels into
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: this huge, long, huge rope and he he locked. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: believe it was Josh and TJ the only guys who
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: ever stayed together, you know, on the road, everybody said
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: their one room, Josh and TJ were together. Tape their
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: room shut. They couldn't get out of the room. They
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: like he taped it to like a maintenance store and
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: they had to get like jaws of life scissors to
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: cut this huge rope thing he'd created. And that was
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: when the last time, you know, Mike was like, all right,
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: let's cut the Shenanigans. You know, that's that's enough. But man,
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: those guys unbelievable.
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: There might have been a story that I heard about TJ.
• 17:45
  Speaker 12: Laning and a fire extinguisher and y'all were having a
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: water balloon fight, and he made sure he got the
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: last call there.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: Again, one of the greatest pranks ever at Saint Norbert's
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: was we would mess around with with some ipology. I
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: saw all the staff over the years that have worked
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: there for all the damage that myself and these knuckleheads
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: you just mentioned created. But one of the best pranks
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: that we used to do is we would fill up
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: a trash can, like a large one, you know, like
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: a four foot trash can about eighty percent of water.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: And all the doors at Saint Norbas open in so
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: at nighttime, once somebody's locked themselves in, you just lean
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: that trash can against the door and in the morning,
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: you know, they open that thing up and it just
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: absolutely drenches the room. So Matt was Matt loved to
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: get the hose. They ended up having to hide the
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: hose from us. We couldn't use the hose, so we
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: were they were using the hose like putting another the
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: door because there was like a minute little crack under
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: there and TJ just about had it. So he sneaks
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: out of his room somehow and he runs down and
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: we don't see him. And at Saint Norbous, the old
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: those that old call as we stayed at, they used
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: to have the old air conditioning machines that sucked the
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: air and from the outside and cooled it for the
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: air conditioning. Well, TJ came up with an incredible idea.
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: I don't know if it's on the spot or if he
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: was premeditated, but he realized, if I stick the fire
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: extinguisher in the back of the air conditioning unit, the
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: entire room is going to flood. So I'm rooming with
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: with Brett good or long Snapper, who was always in
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: on the pranks as well, and he just absolutely drenched
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: our room in that fire retardant. It was one of
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: the most amazing pranks. You're so mad about it, But
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: because he've done so many things over the years of
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: these guys, you're like, that was a good one. That
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: was a good one. Yeah, tooche brother.
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: So when guys retire, they always say the thing I
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: missed the most is the locker room. The guys and
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: then we asked a little bit about you here, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: the prankster word came out that you are you enjoy
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: the company of these guys. You'll stop by to play
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: a video game because I asked tell us something Aaron,
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: people don't know about them, and they went right to it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 11: The dorms and you, yeah, and enjoying your teammates.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: I got some good pranks that haven't even unveiled yet.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: This is the year to do it, for sure. But yeah,
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: I mean these are the best times, you know, being
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: up here in the trobe at Saint Vincent's like all
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: the time we could spend with our teammates, you know,
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: this is what it's all about. So nighttime is about
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: hanging out, having some laughs, playing cards, guys play video games.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: So it's a lot of fun. You don't get these
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: opportunities at other places. We did it for thirteen years
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: in Green Bay. Then for the time when Matt was
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: there for those for fourteen years, I guess, and for
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: those four years we didn't do it, and you miss it,
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: you know because campens and guys go home. You know,
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: this is like a snapshot of before the pressure hits
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: up the real life back to real life regular season,
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: where honestly, we can't be anywhere else, you know, we
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: got to be here, so we might as well hang out.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: So this is a ton of fun being up here.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: And while we're up here, we might as well do
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: some pranks as well. There's no question. The problem is,
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: this is the problem, you know, when I outlasted all
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: those guys you mentioned in Green Bay. So anytime and
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: anybody at the prank after TJ was gone and Josh
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: was gone, and Graham was gone and Coon was gone,
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: was gone, it was like me, Boxyari did a little bit,
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: but it was like I was always blamed first. Then
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: I get here and I do a couple of pranks,
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: and automatically I'm I'm blamed. You know, whether or not
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: I did them, I don't know. I can't. I can't
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: tell you that. But no, but I love it. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: love mixing up with it with.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: No, you're exactly.
• 21:18
  Speaker 12: I mean, those are the things that you miss when
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: you retire. You don't get a chance to do that
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: after you retire, And I'm kind of jealous that you
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: still get to do pranks. So I can appreciate that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: I never wanted to grow up.
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: You know, No, why would we why would we catching
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: up with Steel's quarterback Aaron Rodgers here? All right, So
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: if this is in fact the last year, I think
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: I have something. If you don't already have like ten
• 21:37
  Speaker 12: things lined up, I think I have something that I
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: think you would be elite at. All right, I want
• 21:41
  Speaker 12: you to go across the country to every quarterback and
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: every coach and teach them an actual cadence like down set, hut, blue, eighty, green, eighty,
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: whatever it is, because I think you're the man that
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: can get rid of the clap count in football.
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: I'd love to. I think it's ridiculous. I'm watching college
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: games and they don't even have a snap count, and
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: then a guy comes here and they're trying to figure
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: out what am I doing in the huddle? Wait, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: have to stand in the hoddle. There's not a signal
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: from the sideline, and then we're clapping. How did they
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: clap when you're playing, you know down there in Death Valley?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: What are we doing? How do you do that when
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: you're at the Horseshoe or at Michigan Stadium or even
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: at the Memorial Stadium at Cal won a big game
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: when we played Miami. You know when game day was there.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: It's so ridiculous. It came a weapon, a whip. We've
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: got so much out of it over the years, with
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: off sides and free plays and twelve on the field,
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: and I don't get it. But it's a new game,
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: you know, it's a it's a it's a new type
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: of player.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: So I think we can count you in. I'm in, Yeah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: let's talk about you helping the defense.
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: Because I've asked the defensive guys your presence, challenging them
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: with the snap count, the hard count, the whole shooting match.
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: And here's their answer to me, Well, he gets us,
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: but we know no one else in the league can
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: do it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: Like I think the most important thing is to pass
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: on to knowledge, So I'm always looking for little things
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: I can give them. I want practice to be as
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: hard as possible, so if we're gashing them on something,
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: I'm not just gonna keep doing it. It's like, you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: at some point you lose that competitive fire. So I'm
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: always talking. Like today I was talking to Asanta and
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: the DB's. We were talking about different types of routes
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: on the in the tight red zone, you know, because
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: they're they're thinking slant fade and then back to the
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: front pylon, some sort of fade stop. And I told
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: them about some of the hard things for the receivers
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: because I want them to make it as hard as
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: possible on my guys, but also I want them to
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: make it as hard as possible on me. So we're
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: talking about the type of footballs that are thrown down there,
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: like the air on it or lack of air and
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: under center compared in the gun, and how that changes
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: things and changes mindset. And because if I can pass
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: on a little some to those guys from my years,
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: you know it's going to give them a big leg
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: up when they're not playing somebody's played twenty two years,
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: you know, who doesn't have the same type of thought
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: process out there, and you're playing teams that don't maybe
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: adjust after the snap. I was telling them a little
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: thing today about about alignment and how that can mess
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: with the receiver. If you adjust your alignment at the
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: snap or even right before the snap, you just if
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: you can get the other team to just think for
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: a second and overthink something, you've got the lag up.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: And that's what we've always done with a cadence because,
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: like you said, when we're the line of scrimmage and
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: they are thinking about the cadence, it's taking them away
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: from a reaction they have to do, or a key
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: on alignment or a sound that they might be hearing
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: from the offensive line saying what they're blocking scheme or
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: pass protection scheme is. I just feel like all that
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: stuff adds up. It's super minute stuff. We're talking about
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: fractions of pennies, but when you add it up, you're
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: creating something that can give you a slight competitive advantage,
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: and in this league, that's all you need.
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: There was that was Jacob Pesser with it, Aaron Rodgers.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: A lot of funny stuff at the beginning, and a
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: lot of telling stories, rehashing. He's trying to, you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: make the connection with me being his teammate and everything,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: but like some really interesting stuff there at the end too,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: just like the details in your operation and how little
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: things can add up. And that's a good lesson for
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: anything in life. But talking about the sap count and
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: why we make fun of the clap count. We have
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit of fun with that, But then in
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: reality there is something too that he's talking about, like
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: little things. If you can just make them make the defense,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: or make your opponent whoever you're lined up against, hesitate
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: for a second, or think about something other than what
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: they should be thinking about for just a split second,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: it gives you an advantage. I just took out of that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: You didn't change from college. Yeah, yeah, that's true. You
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: don't have to grow up if you play in the NFL. Yeah,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: he did get that story backwards though. I got locked
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: into my room and it was before the fourth preseason
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: game in my third season. I was starting in a
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: preseason game for the first time in my career, so
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I was getting my first start in the NFL, albeit
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: a preseason game, and they locked me in. I usually
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: take the first bus to the stadium, and I missed
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: the first bus. They locked it in, and I barely
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: made the second bus, the last bus to the stadium
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: because I was locked in.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: I had to call it. A had to come cut
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: me out. Why didn't you call them earlier? I don't know.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: He just went back to sleep, and no, I didn't
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: go back to sleep. I was paniced. I was nervous.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Anyway, great stuff there, awesome interview, and anytime you can
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: get one of the greatest ever do it to talk
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit of ball with you. And look, no
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: shock to me that the person, the quarterback with the
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: greatest snapcount in the history of tackle football doesn't like
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: the no snapcount offenses.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: So anyway, it's great stuff.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: A good job by Air and the team over there,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: or drive by Jacob and the team over there. And
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: that was fun. It was fun to listen to for me.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: I hope it was for you as well. All right,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: look we have what do we have? We have munchies
• 26:52

• 29:14
  Speaker 13: and you know, one one year or another, but the
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: guys are eating well, you know, and I think better
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: this year than I've seen in years past. You know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: I think attribute some of that to Morgan the dietician.
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: Attribute some of that to new philosophy and buying. You know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: we like to think that the food's still good. But yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: you know, honestly, I've been focusing in my energy on
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: the front, on the nutrition center. I haven't gotten back
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: to the back to see the guys practice and such
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: on the field. That thus yet that you know, during
• 29:49
  Speaker 13: twenty nineteen, are mules moved around a little bit and
• 29:52
  Speaker 13: they are a little bit at this point too, so
• 29:55
  Speaker 13: being prepared for that, you know, a thirty minutes earlier,
• 29:58
  Speaker 13: being prepared for the call to say they're coming off early. Yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: it's it. Uh, you know, it definitely takes priority over
• 30:04
  Speaker 13: go back there and talk on at what's going on
• 30:06
  Speaker 13: on the field.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I guessing was it a little bit more
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: complicated now with the change up practice from morning to
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: evenings morning and evenings, getting the schedule going.
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean at some point you get used to it,
• 30:17
  Speaker 13: but it does, you know it, And it's when the
• 30:21
  Speaker 13: food lands. When they come off the field, how hungry
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: they are. You know, a late afternoon practice or early
• 30:26
  Speaker 13: morning practice have different dictations on how much they're going
• 30:30
  Speaker 13: to eat. To be honest with you, you know, they
• 30:32
  Speaker 13: come off the field late in the afternoon and they're
• 30:34
  Speaker 13: tired and they're kind of grumpy, they don't they don't
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: really want to eat, kind of the last thing they
• 30:37
  Speaker 13: want to do. And you know, in the morning, they're
• 30:39
  Speaker 13: they're hungry and ready to rip. And you know, like
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: every everybody eats well because they know they have it's
• 30:44
  Speaker 13: kind of common sensible that they have energy that they
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: need to put into their body to burn. So it's
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: a it's a learning thing, you know. It's it's us
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: teaching them and them being willing to learn.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: Nu.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: He if we're going to get to these questions before
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I do, want to ask you one thing real, Even
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: the great ones Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, they
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: can all make mistakes every down and then they pat
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: their chest say my bad. Have you cooked the dish yet?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: This training camp that just didn't hit with the team.
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: Uh well yes, uh, And it was kind of an
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: embarrassing you know, for me, it was embarrassing because it
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: was one of their favorites and it wasn't really due
• 31:21
  Speaker 13: to a human being but to a piece of equipment
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: going bad on us. We had a tilt skillet, which is,
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: you know, forty eight inch wide by eighteen inches deep,
• 31:33
  Speaker 13: flat device that holds liquids in it, and we were
• 31:36
  Speaker 13: brazing ox tails and at some point the damn thing
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: cut out on us and we didn't realize it. They
• 31:43
  Speaker 13: were supposed to be simmering to tenderize the meat of
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: the oxtail, and it didn't. It cut off for what
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: we think to be between an hour and an hour
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: and fifteen minutes. And so the oxtail, they were tough.
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: And you know when the when the team comes in
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: and it's afecting oxtail, falling off the bone tender and
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: it's one of their favorite dishes, and you know they're
• 32:05
  Speaker 13: gnawing on it, chewing on it. It's you know, like, yeah, yeah,
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: you got to take that lick though, you know what
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: I mean. I go out there and get in front
• 32:14
  Speaker 13: of it and and you know, take the responsibility for
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: it whatever it is, even if it was a piece
• 32:19
  Speaker 13: of equipment, even if it was one of my chefs
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: screwed up, that's my job to jump in front of it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: So absolutely, you like the quarterback, you got to take
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: the blame for everything.
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, brother, Absolutely, yea.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Much respect. All right, hashtag munchies. What fall recipe are
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: you looking forward to?
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: Say that again? Now fall?
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: What fall recipe are you looking forward to?
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean there's not one in particularly that sticks
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: out of my mind. I'm just looking forward to fall
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: starting because fall is our busiest time of the year,
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: and busy chefs are better chefs. You know, like when
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: it slows down, people get fussies, they start busting at
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: each other. Our hands need to be in food, so
• 32:56
  Speaker 13: it's not really necessarily a particular recipe. But but seeing
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: the abundance of student athletes return and the gratitude that
• 33:04
  Speaker 13: they have for what we do, and you know, familiar
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: faces come back and the new faces arrive, that's that's
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: an exciting moment.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, I know that's what we're all looking forward
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: to thog, especially as how hot it is. My god,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for all. I don't care about the food.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Just give me the weather, that's right. Hashtag munchies. I
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: love Vietnamese food, specifically the grilled pork spring spring rolls.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: What kind of pork to use for this and how
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: to prepare it for wrapping spring rolls?
• 33:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know, like not nothing too tender.
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: You want something like a sirloin texture that has a
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: little firmness to it and grind it up. I suppose
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: you could probably put it in a slow cooker and
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: cook it that way if it was you know, like
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: a pork butter or something, and put a like a
• 33:49
  Speaker 13: flavorful liquid in it and stew it down and then
• 33:52
  Speaker 13: chop it so that it's like pulled pork, but chopped finer,
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: so that it's going to fit in there that way.
• 33:58
  Speaker 13: It's already been cooked, your heating it, the flavor has
• 34:01
  Speaker 13: been imparted in it, all that kind of stuff. But
• 34:05
  Speaker 13: I think typically you're going to find like a ground
• 34:07
  Speaker 13: park and ground you know, like it's going to be survoins.
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: Is that that that type or that texture of meat?
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is really good and I'm interested
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: in this as well. Hashtag munchies. Why does Asian Cajun
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: fusion work so well together?
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it just does, right, Like it's the chilies and
• 34:25
  Speaker 13: the spices, it's I mean, it just does. I mean
• 34:29
  Speaker 13: Asians have a lot of chili and spice in their
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: and their cuisine and and sort of louis so the
• 34:35
  Speaker 13: Louisiana's and I think that that's a marriage, you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 13: like that you just need one thread that kind of
• 34:40
  Speaker 13: pulls things together, right. And a lot of Asian dishes
• 34:43
  Speaker 13: also have very long cook times, right, They've got street
• 34:48
  Speaker 13: foods with pots that have been perpetually cooking for thirty years,
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: you know. And so I think the Cajuns buy and
• 34:53
  Speaker 13: large appreciate that that kind of pot cooking technique, right,
• 34:58
  Speaker 13: throw it in the pot and cook it, you know,
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: like a jumble or a etufe or something of that nature.
• 35:03
  Speaker 13: You know, it's it's a like mindedness.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: I suppose high sag munchies.
• 35:09
  Speaker 13: Here.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: I bought some mahi mahi files. How should I prepare them?
• 35:14
  Speaker 13: You know, Mahi mahi I like to grill on a
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: flat grill or in a skillet and and put like
• 35:21
  Speaker 13: a lemon barblanc on it with capers in it it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: You know, don't overcook it because it will get dry,
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: and when it gets dried doesn't taste very good. Mahi
• 35:32
  Speaker 13: is a particular flavor, and if you like it, you
• 35:34
  Speaker 13: love it, and if you don't, probably hate it. Right.
• 35:37
  Speaker 13: I like it fresh, and usually what I'll do is
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: I'll share it off. If you don't have the talent
• 35:43
  Speaker 13: to cook it in a in a in a skillet
• 35:47
  Speaker 13: or on a flat top, which it's not that difficult.
• 35:50
  Speaker 13: You can bake it in the oven after you've steered it,
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: but it's a very short amount of time, you know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: seven minutes tops, I think, And I like to take
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: butter brown it and when it's reaching you'll know it's brown,
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: not just because of the color, but it has develops
• 36:05
  Speaker 13: this nutty slates like olfactory this sense, right, and then
• 36:09
  Speaker 13: you put your capers in there, careful to put too
• 36:13
  Speaker 13: much of the juice in there, because really what you're
• 36:15
  Speaker 13: wanting to do is to fry the capers in the
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: fat to the point where they open up where the
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: real briny liquid is. And that's even better than the vinegar.
• 36:23
  Speaker 13: That that is that it is surrounding them, right, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 13: then finished with cream and reduce, and you got to
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: hit it with the It's difficult for me to talk
• 36:35
  Speaker 13: to them.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is like a callback to a couple of
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, like when we said we came to the
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: conclusion that you can't put enough capers on things.
• 36:42
  Speaker 13: That's right. Yeah, So yeah, that that lemony, that lemony
• 36:47
  Speaker 13: briny flavor really goes well with a fish.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Like MOHI, Jeff, what's your favorite fish to cook? You
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: just got me thinking about fish. That's my favorite?
• 36:55
  Speaker 13: The one I just caught for sure?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: What I just got the last one?
• 36:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. I just pulled a twenty pound catfish
• 37:02
  Speaker 13: out of the still away a couple of you know,
• 37:04
  Speaker 13: like two weeks ago, and just before that, I caught
• 37:07
  Speaker 13: a bull shark, a baby bull shark, And this was
• 37:09
  Speaker 13: in a spillway. I caught a bull shark. It crazy,
• 37:11
  Speaker 13: that's yeah.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Fine, Yeah, you can find bull sharks like in Illinois's
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: they slum up the.
• 37:17
  Speaker 13: River so far this northern I think the furthest north
• 37:20
  Speaker 13: north that they found them was in Saint Louis, Missouri.
• 37:22
  Speaker 13: And that's wild.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: That is terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: God Chef, speaking of fish, maybe like little fish fry,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: what's your preferred oil for frying?
• 37:33
  Speaker 13: I usually just used canola. It's health wise, you know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 13: even at the house. I use canola now, just because
• 37:40
  Speaker 13: at fifty, I'm concerning more about my health than I
• 37:42
  Speaker 13: am about, you know, anything, and canola tastes good. It
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: really celebrates the flavor of the fish or chicken. I
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: just used canola. Chef.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: There's a really fun of video from LSU football Instagram
• 37:58

• 38:01
  Speaker 3: away from the players prank?
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: It was awesome? It was great.
• 38:06
  Speaker 13: That was genuine. Oh yeah, the conversation following up there
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: was some genuine emotion behind taking this.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, so how long did did we play the prank
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: out to where they're like, okay, we're just kidding kidding
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: with U?
• 38:22
  Speaker 13: And it was within a couple of me. It was
• 38:23
  Speaker 13: within you know, like ninety seconds, but some of them
• 38:27
  Speaker 13: caught the camera first. You know, I figured it out right,
• 38:29
  Speaker 13: But there was a couple of guys when they because
• 38:32
  Speaker 13: they took the food and walked around the corner and
• 38:34
  Speaker 13: they're like, what.

  Speaker 4: What is happening Richard?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: And yeah, right, there had to been some reactions that
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: got cut from the final edit because there was probably
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: some some yeah and don't touch my food, like especially
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: during training camp, don't touch my food.
• 38:52
  Speaker 13: There was definitely some emotions then well.
• 38:55
