- 1:05Speaker 4: and Scotty goes, you're goddamn right they are. Because football
- 1:07Speaker 4: is almost around the corner. If you're at work right now,
- 1:12Speaker 4: right now, go to your closest peer, tap him on
- 1:17Speaker 4: the shoulder and just whisper football is almost here. Because
- 1:21Speaker 4: we're here. Boys, get what we're not here. I'm not
- 1:24Speaker 4: gonna I'm not gonna say we're there.
- 1:26Speaker 5: Because it's so close that you're losing sleep. You're losing
- 1:30Speaker 5: sleep at this point knowing like you're waking up in
- 1:32Speaker 5: the middle night, like why am I Why can't I
- 1:34Speaker 5: a good night sleep? It because it's almost here.

- 1:43Speaker 5: We're gonna back.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Football's back, and it's gonna it's like we're gonna click
- 1:46Speaker 4: on the TV and watch a few snats, but it's
- 1:48Speaker 4: not gonna feel what we're ready to feel.
- 1:51Speaker 5: It is every bit of over the pants stuff when
- 1:55Speaker 5: you wash every bit of it. This is not truly
- 1:58Speaker 5: what I want. You're giving me the idea of what
- 2:00Speaker 5: I want, But at the end of the day, this
- 2:01Speaker 5: is not the product I'm looking for. But just the
- 2:03Speaker 5: fact that I got grown men on the field taking
- 2:06Speaker 5: a snap turbo said Hut, having a couple of plays
- 2:09Speaker 5: here and there, but how basic it is the stars
- 2:12Speaker 5: that you really want to throw on the sideline. That's
- 2:14Speaker 5: where that over the pants stuff is gonna start to
- 2:16Speaker 5: happen with you.
- 2:16Speaker 4: That is an incredible analogy because it's like you create
- 2:19Speaker 4: the friction, but you're still gonna go home a little disappointment.
- 2:22Speaker 5: Yeah, like you're gonna have you're gonna get callous in
- 2:24Speaker 5: the area you want to be least callous in. But
- 2:26Speaker 5: it's gonna make you better for September, October, November, and.
- 2:29Speaker 4: You're gonna swear to your boys like, hey, I think
- 2:31Speaker 4: I'm experiencing blue balls, and people like, oh, that's a myth,
- 2:33Speaker 4: this fake and it's like, I think I think I

- 3:28Speaker 5: William, you just talked about football being back. I saw
- 3:30Speaker 5: the news this weekend regards the MLB, the LA Dodgers.
- 3:34Speaker 5: People are up in arms about this is unfair. They're
- 3:37Speaker 5: ruining the game of baseball. How could they? This is
- 3:39Speaker 5: the torpedo bats two point zero at the Yankees starting
- 3:43Speaker 5: to do how It's just that this is an uproar
- 3:44Speaker 5: taking place. Yeah, I'm gonna stand here. Just keep this
- 3:47Speaker 5: in mind. This is not this. This is just something
- 3:49Speaker 5: to keep in mind. I kind of mess with what
- 3:51Speaker 5: the Dodgers are doing. I'm messed with it. You can
- 3:53Speaker 5: hate it all you want. But in other day, if
- 3:55Speaker 5: you're trying to win championships, do whatever you cando win championships.
- 3:57Speaker 5: You ain't got the funds to do it, shame on
- 3:59Speaker 5: you get a bigger bankroll, William. I have a question, like, yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 5: the Dodgers are going to win the championship. People are
- 4:05Speaker 5: talking about they're renting him, They're not buying him, Like
- 4:08Speaker 5: I don't I'm I don't know shit about basement. Like
- 4:13Speaker 5: it's also seems like people are mad, and if there's
- 4:15Speaker 5: baseball siccos on the bus, like please chime in. But
- 4:18Speaker 5: it also seems like people are mad because the Dodgers
- 4:21Speaker 5: made this move for three cats, and no other team
- 4:25Speaker 5: out there tried to compete with getting this guy in
- 4:28Speaker 5: to where they're almost trying to say, like poor us,
- 4:30Speaker 5: Victim Musk, this is just another reason why the Dodgers
- 4:33Speaker 5: the best. When every team could have had the ability
- 4:35Speaker 5: to get this guy this picture.
- 4:37Speaker 6: Nobody could afford hidden like his contract is. He's such
- 4:41Speaker 6: a good player he literally wont to sign on the
- 4:43Speaker 6: last two three years best picture in baseball. Nobody else
- 4:47Speaker 6: can afford his contract. Only the Dodgers have the cap space.
- 4:51Speaker 6: I mean they're paying all of their players one point
- 4:52Speaker 6: one billion dollars. Heyie, like Shoe Hee Otani's contract is
- 4:57Speaker 6: more than like the Pittsburgh Pirates entire your payroll. So
- 5:01Speaker 6: like that's where people really get up in arms, because
- 5:03Speaker 6: nobody else can afford this caliber of players, and like
- 5:07Speaker 6: that's where like the salary cap stuff comes in. And
- 5:10Speaker 6: I was just in a bastard party with a bunch
- 5:12Speaker 6: of baseball guys and they said, there's gonna be a
- 5:13Speaker 6: lockout next year, especially with this happening, Like there's no
- 5:17Speaker 6: it's just I think it's.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Because all the teams and players are upset with what
- 5:21Speaker 4: the Dodgers are doing that they're just gonna say, hey,
- 5:23Speaker 4: we're locking out, We're not gonna play.
- 5:24Speaker 6: It is basically like a super team's fair. Think of
- 5:27Speaker 6: like the uh, like the Pro Bowl game. All of
- 5:31Speaker 6: the Pro bowlers on one team nice, and then everybody
- 5:34Speaker 6: else is just kind of has not mediocre players. There's
- 5:37Speaker 6: still good players out there, but like the entire Pro
- 5:39Speaker 6: Bowl team is just the AFC is the Cincinnati Bankal.
- 5:42Speaker 5: Texas Tech in the Big twelve. Yeah, Tech Tech in
- 5:44Speaker 5: the Bay twelve. This this is a this is a
- 5:46Speaker 5: parallel to football with the Soresby situation in Texas Tech,
- 5:49Speaker 5: where it's like, if we don't like what's happening in
- 5:52Speaker 5: the game of baseball, change has to happen. But until
- 5:55Speaker 5: the change happens, you take the rules, use it to
- 5:56Speaker 5: your advantage, and if you have the bankroll. The Dodgers
- 5:58Speaker 5: are doing that thing, that's right kind of sit there.
- 6:00Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, it's probably not great for the purists
- 6:02Speaker 5: of baseball that I like hate this Dodgers are the
- 6:04Speaker 5: clear runaway favorites that are probably gonna win it all
- 6:06Speaker 5: yet again. But if you want to be different, we
- 6:09Speaker 5: need to do the walkout.
- 6:10Speaker 7: We need the things we have.
- 6:11Speaker 5: We have to have more structure, more of a salary cap,
- 6:13Speaker 5: more of a PA type of situation take place where
- 6:16Speaker 5: there's you know, a ying and yang, a balancing that
- 6:18Speaker 5: takes place between the MLB and the players. But it's
- 6:20Speaker 5: like guys are getting paid. If one team can't afford
- 6:23Speaker 5: to let my boy get his money, and then if
- 6:26Speaker 5: we really hate it that much, it's on the players.
- 6:28Speaker 5: It's on the community in baseball to go get it changed.
- 6:30Speaker 5: I think we get the players don't want they don't
- 6:33Speaker 5: want to cap. Yeah, I mean you remember Bryce Harper
- 6:36Speaker 5: the commissioner's face a.
- 6:37Speaker 6: Couple of months ago, yelling, yeah, we should get him
- 6:39Speaker 6: back on to kind of if.
- 6:42Speaker 4: There's a baseball guy out there right now clutching the
- 6:44Speaker 4: pearls getting pissed because they're like, these guys.
- 6:46Speaker 5: Don't know what the fuck there.
- 6:47Speaker 4: We don't know what we're talking right, And I would
- 6:48Speaker 4: love to see an entire monologue if you breaking this down.
- 6:51Speaker 8: Yes, in the comments, it's also just tough for like
- 6:54Speaker 8: the smaller market teams where like everybody obviously in the
- 6:56Speaker 8: league wants to stay competitive, but it's like if you're
- 6:58Speaker 8: the the Raised or the Oakland Athletics, it's like it's
- 7:02Speaker 8: damn near impossible.
- 7:03Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean you can't.
- 7:05Speaker 8: You're like Mitch was saying, Show Hayes contract is more
- 7:07Speaker 8: than the entire Rays, the the Athletics, et cetera payroll,
- 7:11Speaker 8: and it's just you have no opportunity to compete. So
- 7:14Speaker 8: it's like, why are we even playing this game if
- 7:17Speaker 8: we can't if we don't have the chance to win.
- 7:19Speaker 8: So I think everybody franchise wise at least, is kind
- 7:23Speaker 8: of trying to gear towards that salary cap because then
- 7:26Speaker 8: it kind of equals the playing field and makes everything
- 7:29Speaker 8: more fair.
- 7:29Speaker 5: They need oil money, they need oil money. They need
- 7:31Speaker 5: Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. Yeah, that's who they need.
- 7:36Speaker 6: To think about it Like every year at the NFL,
- 7:39Speaker 6: and not so much college, but that the NFL, like
- 7:42Speaker 6: the parody that goes on every single year, Like the
- 7:44Speaker 6: Ravens last year were bad and we thought they were
- 7:46Speaker 6: gonna be great.
- 7:47Speaker 5: There there's a you got the salary cap.
- 7:49Speaker 6: There's zero parody in baseball the Dodgers have won or
- 7:51Speaker 6: have been in the World Series the last like four
- 7:54Speaker 6: or five years, and of one like back to back
- 7:56Speaker 6: and going for their third. So it's like, we know
- 7:59Speaker 6: the Dodgers are going to win, why bother watching?
- 8:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I can understand that. But if you want to
- 8:04Speaker 5: change of the game, you essentially, in my opinion, for
- 8:06Speaker 5: things to change, they have to get so egregious that
- 8:09Speaker 5: it's clear to even the people that don't know a
- 8:11Speaker 5: lot about baseball. This is if it's coming across my desk,
- 8:14Speaker 5: this is clearly big enough in baseball to where things
- 8:16Speaker 5: need to be changed. That's why I go back to
- 8:18Speaker 5: the Soresby thing, like everyone's so mad about the landscape
- 8:21Speaker 5: of college football in the NIL world. Things like that
- 8:24Speaker 5: have to happen in order for true change to take place.
- 8:27Speaker 5: That's right. We need the balancing apt We have to
- 8:29Speaker 5: go one way real far for people to really take
- 8:31Speaker 5: notice and then bring it back to the center and
- 8:32Speaker 5: figure out where it's all at. You were talking about
- 8:34Speaker 5: a monologue. You want be able to break down this
- 8:36Speaker 5: entire situation. If they were going to come on busting
- 8:38Speaker 5: with the boys and they're going to figure out a
- 8:40Speaker 5: way to reach us to give us that monologue. Where
- 8:43Speaker 5: would they go, William.
- 8:43Speaker 4: They go to the comment section, whether on YouTube or
- 8:45Speaker 4: Spotify or everywhere.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Got you?
- 8:48Speaker 4: We have one here from our good friend Josh Bate.
- 8:50Speaker 4: He left to comment last week with his episode that
- 8:52Speaker 4: he did really a really nice job with. I dedicate
- 8:55Speaker 4: this episode to will Compton. Miss you, friend, miss you
- 8:57Speaker 4: every day.
- 8:57Speaker 5: That's going to make you feel good.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Absolutely time you see Josh Payt throwing a compliment your way,
- 9:02Speaker 4: it always feels good. It makes a heart feel warm, because, yeah,
- 9:04Speaker 4: your boy a week ago this day, your boy was
- 9:08Speaker 4: down bad. Your boy was down bad. I had strep throat.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Josh was, you know, playing around on his his little
- 9:14Speaker 4: podcast sing that I'm vaccinated now.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Which which is true. I plead the fit.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Gotcha fair enough, my council, I plead the fit. Yes,
- 9:24Speaker 4: but your boy was down fucking bad, dude. I'm talking
- 9:28Speaker 4: one on three fever. I mean, my my tonsils felt
- 9:32Speaker 4: like I had a knife in my throat, chills, the
- 9:35Speaker 4: shakes when I went to UH. When I went to
- 9:38Speaker 4: UH a walk in clinic on Sunday, because it just
- 9:41Speaker 4: like jumped on me like Saturday night. Scotty woke up
- 9:44Speaker 4: a few times, I was like, Okay, this is a
- 9:45Speaker 4: sign that it could be a bad night. Wake up
- 9:47Speaker 4: around four in the morning and kind of feel like
- 9:48Speaker 4: a slight headache, I feel my throat a little bit.
- 9:52Speaker 4: And then by that afternoon, Bro, I'm talking, the fever
- 9:55Speaker 4: was up. It was just all happening. So I hit
- 9:57Speaker 4: a clinic right before six o'clock, right before kind of
- 9:59Speaker 4: everything closed, and I'm sitting there and they do the swaves.
- 10:02Speaker 4: I'm like, they're they're gagging me with scraping the back
- 10:04Speaker 4: of my throat. The test they're doing everything touch in
- 10:06Speaker 4: the back. Yeah, they're touching the back. And then it
- 10:09Speaker 4: takes like thirty minutes for these tests to go through.
- 10:12Speaker 4: And I'm sitting there just on the table, bro, like shivering,
- 10:15Speaker 4: shorts t shirt. I have to walk out like, hey,
- 10:18Speaker 4: do we have any update? Like I'm fucking sounds like I'm.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Dying, sounds like out dude, sounds like doubt.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Fortunately, like the clinic had antibiotics there that I could
- 10:26Speaker 4: start then, because then obviously I was thinking about the
- 10:29Speaker 4: entire week we had ahead. Training camp was happening, Training
- 10:32Speaker 4: camp toward was happening. Obviously, bust with Josh. That's when
- 10:35Speaker 4: I started hitting you guys up, like, there's two new
- 10:37Speaker 4: there's two new boards, Like, I'm I have short. Once
- 10:40Speaker 4: he goes you're positive for strip, I was like, oh fuck,
- 10:42Speaker 4: it's over.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Game's over. Yeah.
- 10:43Speaker 4: When he said they say no twenty four hour, they
- 10:45Speaker 4: say no twenty four hour. Fling like this, think's fucking
- 10:48Speaker 4: me up right. This is a relationship. It's a going
- 10:49Speaker 4: to take place with you and the throat.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:51Speaker 5: The thing that I got to give Will a lot
- 10:53Speaker 5: of credit for is, even in his horrible moments of
- 10:56Speaker 5: having one hundred and three to your fever, the shivers
- 10:58Speaker 5: that were multiplying for him and he was losing control,
- 11:02Speaker 5: he was still trying to find a way to make
- 11:03Speaker 5: it to the shop. I took a step back and
- 11:05Speaker 5: I was like, buddy, do not come. There's like a
- 11:07Speaker 5: four pm text that took place on Sunday and he's like, hey,
- 11:11Speaker 5: bad news. I have X, Y and Z taking place.
- 11:13Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to get a good sleep and make
- 11:14Speaker 5: it the next mon I'm ready to die at this point.
- 11:18Speaker 5: I've got like a single digit day old child and
- 11:20Speaker 5: I'm like, do not get near me. I love that
- 11:24Speaker 5: I did bring that up, though, We'll thinking like, I
- 11:29Speaker 5: don't want to let the boys down because work has
- 11:30Speaker 5: to be done. And if there's work to be done,
- 11:32Speaker 5: Will Compton is obviously going to answer the bell every
- 11:34Speaker 5: single time. There is no tomorrow when it comes to
- 11:35Speaker 5: Will Compton, there is no tomorrow.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Your best abilities availability, the moment you're not seeing, the
- 11:40Speaker 4: moment somebody takes.
- 11:41Speaker 5: Your training camp is in full full. So the boys
- 11:49Speaker 5: like down. I'm like, hey, do not come. This is
- 11:51Speaker 5: your past. Please, please, for the love of God, do
- 11:53Speaker 5: not come to the showy. You're doing me a favor.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Stay.
- 11:57Speaker 5: Yeah, And you could feel it in his voice too,
- 11:59Speaker 5: like it's not fomo, it's the Hey, we do this
- 12:03Speaker 5: show together. And I want to make sure I hold
- 12:05Speaker 5: my end of the bargain when it comes to this show.
- 12:07Speaker 5: And it's like you're holding her into the garget by
- 12:09Speaker 5: not killing my child. I don't want to head my head.
- 12:12Speaker 4: It is doubt, Like anytime people are sick, there's a
- 12:15Speaker 4: part of doubt that I have. It's like, how sick
- 12:17Speaker 4: are you?
- 12:18Speaker 8: I know.
- 12:22Speaker 4: I'm down bad, but I will fucking I'll come ready.
- 12:25Speaker 5: To go, dude. And it could came in a better
- 12:27Speaker 5: time because like it was the day before or two
- 12:30Speaker 5: days before that, you texted me and I have a
- 12:35Speaker 5: always optimistic outlook on most things that take place. I'm
- 12:37Speaker 5: hope for the best, prepared for the best, kind of guy.
- 12:39Speaker 5: I use optimism as a you know, it bites me
- 12:42Speaker 5: in the ass sometimes. But something what's happening with the baby,
- 12:45Speaker 5: And Taylan takes a deep breath and kind of looks
- 12:47Speaker 5: out the window of her house and goes, your carelessness
- 12:50Speaker 5: is going to get this baby sick, like says like
- 12:52Speaker 5: that says it to God. She doesn't say it to me,
- 12:54Speaker 5: she just says it out in the ether. And literally
- 12:56Speaker 5: the next day as that I get the text one
- 12:58Speaker 5: Will and I was like, this is my up to show,
- 13:00Speaker 5: gonna show tailor that I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be
- 13:02Speaker 5: that guy. And I was like, hey, just so you know,
- 13:04Speaker 5: like Will didn't come, And mostly that's on you because
- 13:08Speaker 5: you said that common to me and because that it resonated,
- 13:10Speaker 5: so the boy was down for what most of the
- 13:13Speaker 5: week you didn't show up? Yeah? There.
- 13:15Speaker 4: I didn't show up till we got to Vegas on
- 13:17Speaker 4: Wednesday because I was flirting with the idea of getting
- 13:20Speaker 4: in for chargers and then we obviously we got on FaceTime.
- 13:24Speaker 5: We got on FaceTime. I wasn't wearing any clothes and
- 13:27Speaker 5: I was about to jump at the shower. I see that.
- 13:29Speaker 5: We talked for about twenty minutes. Yeah, yeah, he goes,
- 13:32Speaker 5: He goes, you want to finish beat and go and
- 13:33Speaker 5: call me back at that party right now, Fish exactly.
- 13:38Speaker 5: But you're probably wondering, Hey, Chargers, what do you what
- 13:41Speaker 5: do you mean? Where were you? Guys at the training
- 13:43Speaker 5: camp tour took place last week r out of the
- 13:45Speaker 5: pause for the Rams, the Chargers and the Las Vegas
- 13:48Speaker 5: Raiders bringing us into the building. Absolutely incredible time. The
- 13:52Speaker 5: hospitality one of one. As always. We started at the
- 13:55Speaker 5: Rams just coming out. You'll see those interviews today that
- 13:58Speaker 5: your boy ran Stolo, followed by the Ours the next day,
- 14:00Speaker 5: and then we'll be next week, the next week with
- 14:03Speaker 5: the next day of last week, after we did the
- 14:05Speaker 5: Rams went to the Chargers, and then the following day
- 14:08Speaker 5: went to the Raiders. Those will come out these next
- 14:10Speaker 5: three weeks. Ram, Sean, Sean McVay less, need We had
- 14:14Speaker 5: DeVante Adams, Trent McDuffie. We watched a little walk through, guys.
- 14:18Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest. I walked down in that field,
- 14:20Speaker 5: got to see the boy Ty Simpson, got to see
- 14:22Speaker 5: Blake Korn, who had some fun words for you. I
- 14:24Speaker 5: know you were just punching air from your bed in
- 14:27Speaker 5: your hospital bed, waiting to see if you could get
- 14:29Speaker 5: back at him. But dude, it was just nice to
- 14:32Speaker 5: see football taking place, seeing a bunch of young bucks
- 14:35Speaker 5: out there, ninety three guys hoping to keep a dream alive,
- 14:38Speaker 5: knowing that it's gonna get cut down basically damn near
- 14:40Speaker 5: in half. But their hearts, their blood, sweat and tears,
- 14:45Speaker 5: just in camp and ready to go.
- 14:46Speaker 7: I was.
- 14:47Speaker 4: I was my hopes from my bedroom because I had
- 14:51Speaker 4: this type of optimism when we were gonna go out
- 14:54Speaker 4: to the Rams, was that that was just gonna be
- 14:55Speaker 4: the day Aaron Donald was just gonna show up.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Yeah, and we get a quick conversation with him.
- 15:00Speaker 4: He's coming back like there's zero doubt in my mind.
- 15:03Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen interviews, there's even been
- 15:05Speaker 4: interviews to where this gentleman was was talking with coach
- 15:08Speaker 4: McVeigh and he was like, look, I'm gonna ask you
- 15:09Speaker 4: questions you don't have to answer. I want to see
- 15:11Speaker 4: your body language, I want to see your reaction through
- 15:14Speaker 4: your body expressions. And he was asking about Aaron Donald
- 15:17Speaker 4: and it's just it's all over McVeigh. And then he
- 15:20Speaker 4: even asked like, is he gonna be able to play
- 15:22Speaker 4: to the levelies Cable playing it be comes back Seaan
- 15:25Speaker 4: Braks character. He's like, this is what I have to answer,
- 15:27Speaker 4: Like Aaron Donald would not come back unless he felt
- 15:30Speaker 4: like he could be who he once was or at
- 15:32Speaker 4: least close to what he once was. And that's all
- 15:35Speaker 4: I need to know. Like Aaron Donald's coming back, it's
- 15:37Speaker 4: gonna be Miles Garrett's gonna be Aaron Donald. You got Fisk,
- 15:39Speaker 4: you got young, you might have Vita Vea, I mean
- 15:44Speaker 4: rors people are talking out there. Yeah, there's rumors a
- 15:46Speaker 4: lot of a lot of people in the West Coast
- 15:48Speaker 4: talking about grabbing Vitavea. But we'll just focus on the
- 15:50Speaker 4: Rams for now.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Yeah, but then we we.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Then we also came to uh realization, won't won't, won't
- 15:58Speaker 4: give anything away that Vidavey could just be this is
- 16:00Speaker 4: just him doing a move. Is him doing a move
- 16:03Speaker 4: because he wants a new contract. Miles Garrett boys, Yeah, yep,
- 16:07Speaker 4: the big boys on that of the D line. They're
- 16:09Speaker 4: making so much more money than him, that he's posturing
- 16:13Speaker 4: in a way to where he's trying to get a
- 16:14Speaker 4: new contract out of Tampa.
- 16:15Speaker 5: Right, and then all of a sudden, his thing is,
- 16:18Speaker 5: I've always loved Tampa. This was never what i wanted
- 16:20Speaker 5: to have happened, but I'm lucky we got to a
- 16:22Speaker 5: point right to be a buccaneer for life. So on
- 16:24Speaker 5: and so forth, the same game plan takes place. I'll
- 16:27Speaker 5: say this, I know you haven't heard the interviews yet,
- 16:29Speaker 5: but if you have any questions of whether or not
- 16:31Speaker 5: Aaron Donald is going to be a part of the
- 16:33Speaker 5: Los Angeles Rams, this is a great interview with less
- 16:36Speaker 5: need to listen to. It's a great interview, and I'm
- 16:38Speaker 5: not that's all I'm gonna really say about that, because
- 16:40Speaker 5: you're gonna see it. I believe in the first fifty
- 16:42Speaker 5: minutes of this episode, when Lesson I sit down, he
- 16:45Speaker 5: was the first interview we did that day. Let's hit
- 16:46Speaker 5: a couple more callbacks from last week's episode of Josh
- 16:50Speaker 5: Pate real quick. This one comes from Luke O'Neil three
- 16:53Speaker 5: through three Clay and Delaney straight to Commissioner Pate. What
- 16:56Speaker 5: have we done to deserve this amazing honor. It's football season.
- 16:59Speaker 5: We were just back to back.
- 17:02Speaker 4: Into the cloth of busts with the Yes Yes with
- 17:06Speaker 4: Delaney and Clay On then Peyton. You just god, you
- 17:09Speaker 4: feel it. We got the locker room coming again this year,
- 17:12Speaker 4: the NFL version with Clay and Delaney.
- 17:14Speaker 5: That's happening.
- 17:14Speaker 4: We got a fun, little gamified version that we're working
- 17:17Speaker 4: out on the show. Josh Pat's back with college football.
- 17:20Speaker 4: A lot of alleged rumors that you guys spoke about
- 17:23Speaker 4: last week. Josh just spoke about on the show last night.
- 17:26Speaker 4: This one right here from Jay Underscore sat TEA five
- 17:29Speaker 4: days ago, Fridays with the Frat Boys on ESPN Signed
- 17:32Speaker 4: me up.
- 17:33Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all alleged. That's a working title. That's a
- 17:36Speaker 5: working title. But if we were to have a show,
- 17:37Speaker 5: that would probably make the shortlist.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Yeah, especially based on everybody's kind of reaction to the
- 17:44Speaker 4: alleged rumors.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Right, and there are alleged rumors at a weird time. Yeah,
- 17:47Speaker 5: there's a lot of weird things taking place in the
- 17:49Speaker 5: main stream. There's some positivity, but god damn, people are
- 17:52Speaker 5: mean out there. They're mean, they're nasty, but hey, just
- 17:54Speaker 5: keep walking and keep watching and keep being nasty.
- 17:56Speaker 4: You know, yeah, not that it's happening, but I'm thinking
- 17:59Speaker 4: if it was happening, a shot, right, and what do
- 18:01Speaker 4: we do with those negative bullshit?
- 18:03Speaker 5: If it all goes back to what shearm said about
- 18:05Speaker 5: four or five weeks ago, when people are nasty, it's
- 18:08Speaker 5: because we miss football. And if we get to the fall,
- 18:11Speaker 5: and allegedly this show happens on Fridays, and if it's
- 18:13Speaker 5: a location of these big games taking place, and you
- 18:16Speaker 5: want a pre game, before the pregame, before the tailgate,
- 18:19Speaker 5: I think this might be a huge opportunity for you
- 18:21Speaker 5: to really dive into some fun football, a bunch of
- 18:23Speaker 5: bros hanging out having a good time where you're like,
- 18:25Speaker 5: I can't believe him having so much fun while learning
- 18:27Speaker 5: a couple of things along the way. And that's all
- 18:29Speaker 5: I'll say, because it's all allegedly, But you have to know,
- 18:31Speaker 5: I'm a big brainstorm on a big brainstorm. I like
- 18:34Speaker 5: to have fun. I like to have fun. A good
- 18:36Speaker 5: game day, EVE, a good game day EVE, all speculations,

- 20:14Speaker 5: place right now.
- 20:15Speaker 9: Also, if we're talking about the rams, we cannot go
- 20:18Speaker 9: on without mentioning the name Tron.
- 20:21Speaker 4: God, thank yourn Tron.
- 20:24Speaker 5: Break down Tron. You're talking about Latron. So Latron.
- 20:27Speaker 4: We pull in.
- 20:28Speaker 5: I think we're at an air like an airport hotel.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Right the first night we get into this van. Our
- 20:33Speaker 5: driver he you know, doesn't say a whole lot, but
- 20:36Speaker 5: he's got an energy about him that's like, I kind
- 20:37Speaker 5: of we kind of mess with this guy. We drive
- 20:40Speaker 5: to Loyola is am I saying that correctly, Yola University.
- 20:44Speaker 5: We get off and we're starting to get set up.
- 20:46Speaker 5: We're finding the right place to park, and JP brings
- 20:48Speaker 5: up like, maybe we should bring bring our driver around
- 20:51Speaker 5: instead of him just sitting the bustle, they just have
- 20:52Speaker 5: him come with us. He ended up Latron ended up
- 20:55Speaker 5: being our driver. He goes by Tron and for the
- 20:58Speaker 5: whole entire time we were in LA not only with
- 21:01Speaker 5: the rams but also with the chargers, he drove us
- 21:03Speaker 5: and went everywhere with us. So not only he was
- 21:06Speaker 5: your driver, he was your friend. Here was our friend
- 21:07Speaker 5: security guard security.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:09Speaker 5: He ended up telling people like on day two, He's like,
- 21:11Speaker 5: I'm their driver slash security guard. And the dude was.
- 21:14Speaker 5: He was awesome. We went, he went to dinner, We
- 21:16Speaker 5: went to multiple lunches with him. The guy was great.
- 21:18Speaker 5: To be right, it's good energy. So shout out with Tron. Hey,
- 21:21Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. We're driving back from the chargers
- 21:24Speaker 5: on our way to Vegas and he just breaks down
- 21:26Speaker 5: this five minute monologue giving me and the rest of
- 21:29Speaker 5: the boys like massive compliments, to the point where like
- 21:32Speaker 5: you're sitting back and you're like, I gotta get out
- 21:34Speaker 5: of this uncomfortable feeling because he is being super kind
- 21:37Speaker 5: the way we treated him. But the energy by this guy,
- 21:40Speaker 5: he had you floating on a cloud.
- 21:41Speaker 1: He was.
- 21:42Speaker 7: He was deep to deep.
- 21:43Speaker 9: He really got you in your fields. A conversationalist. Just
- 21:47Speaker 9: it was something about him that we wanted him to
- 21:51Speaker 9: go to Vegas with us as well.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Do we work out didn't work out, We almost bought
- 21:55Speaker 5: him with it. I'll say this and I will speak
- 21:58Speaker 5: for Jared. There was a moment at dinner the first
- 22:01Speaker 5: night after the Rams where we had We had like
- 22:03Speaker 5: a fun conversation of like, what's something about you that nobody,
- 22:06Speaker 5: like people wouldn't wouldn't assume. So we start going around
- 22:08Speaker 5: the room, guys are having more different question Yeah, but
- 22:11Speaker 5: we got we start answering for the people la Tron.
- 22:13Speaker 5: Obviously we don't know him. He goes one of the
- 22:15Speaker 5: things that people would know about me being from Compton,
- 22:18Speaker 5: blah blahlah blah. I get deep really fast and I
- 22:21Speaker 5: need to probably need to work on that not getting deep.
- 22:23Speaker 5: And then he goes on a ten minute monologue about
- 22:26Speaker 5: like he got deep, he got very deep. We went
- 22:29Speaker 5: in to die the deep end with him real quick
- 22:31Speaker 5: and we walked away. I remember going to Bend and
- 22:33Speaker 5: seeing the group chat. Jarry was like, how about Latron
- 22:35Speaker 5: and that that was amazing. Guy's incredible. So we got
- 22:38Speaker 5: a little deep with Latron as well. I love that
- 22:40Speaker 5: he's He's unbelievable. What was the deepest thing he spoke about?
- 22:44Speaker 10: I was talking about destiny right and your purpose?
- 22:46Speaker 9: Yeah, well, so he's from Compton, California. But his whole
- 22:50Speaker 9: vibe and what he likes to do is like furniture design, jewelry,
- 22:54Speaker 9: just things he wouldn't assume the normal Compton man to
- 22:57Speaker 9: be a part of stereotypical com But he said, you know,
- 23:01Speaker 9: he's still from kind of like the gutter, is what
- 23:03Speaker 9: he was saying. But he's very creative and just kind
- 23:06Speaker 9: of like I think he was just more intuitive than anything.
- 23:09Speaker 9: He just spoke very freely, just had a lot on
- 23:12Speaker 9: his heart and wasn't afraid to explain who he was
- 23:15Speaker 9: at the.
- 23:16Speaker 5: Core of him as a man. He's one of his
- 23:18Speaker 5: legendary quotes to us being like I'm into fashion and
- 23:21Speaker 5: shoes and furniture, and then I believe he pivoted real
- 23:24Speaker 5: quick and goes, don't get a twisted I'm on that
- 23:25Speaker 5: hetero shit though. Listen, whatever you want, brother, you do
- 23:33Speaker 5: You're the man, do whatever you gotta do. So overall,
- 23:36Speaker 5: Tron was he was an incredible dish for the boys
- 23:39Speaker 5: in California.
- 23:40Speaker 11: Tron was a vegetarian and like, fuck our waiter. Our
- 23:43Speaker 11: waiter at dinner was giving him the hardest time about yeah,
- 23:47Speaker 11: like anything vegetarian. Like he was like, Okay, I get
- 23:49Speaker 11: this pasta just with no shrimp in it, and he's like, no,
- 23:51Speaker 11: you can't like this. Like he was just like He's like,
- 23:53Speaker 11: all you can get is like this one sound he's
- 23:55Speaker 11: just being like a dick for no reason. Yeah, the
- 23:57Speaker 11: most like upity places, if it's not on the menu,
- 23:59Speaker 11: you can't order it. I was like, yeah, that's crazy.
- 24:01Speaker 5: What are you doing these things in the microwave? Like
- 24:03Speaker 5: frozen lunches you're putting in there?
- 24:06Speaker 9: Food did hit the big steak we made, though maybe
- 24:09Speaker 9: the entire trip was Tron was parking the van for us,
- 24:12Speaker 9: so he was about fifteen minutes behind us. We had sat,
- 24:15Speaker 9: we'd order some appetizers for the table. We know that
- 24:18Speaker 9: he's a vegetarian and he's very strict on it. We
- 24:21Speaker 9: ordered probably seven eight appetizers. Every single dish had meat
- 24:25Speaker 9: in it everyone and he shows up and obviously he's
- 24:27Speaker 9: not making a deal.
- 24:28Speaker 5: About it, but we're like, oh man, we messed up.
- 24:31Speaker 9: We should have done something for you in this moment.
- 24:34Speaker 9: And then it kind of snowballed into the waiter being
- 24:37Speaker 9: like there is no vegetarian options really, so it kind
- 24:40Speaker 9: of was a It hurt it hurt us, It hurt him,
- 24:43Speaker 9: but you never heard him complain once about it.
- 24:45Speaker 10: Now that that's who Tron wants, it's gonna.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Be a tough beat to him just putting you guys
- 24:49Speaker 4: on Cloud nine, the entire drive and then the show
- 24:51Speaker 4: up at a restaurant. He my man, can't even get
- 24:53Speaker 4: some grub.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Yeah, he asked also the first day, when hey, do
- 24:58Speaker 5: you want to roll with us? I think his first
- 25:00Speaker 5: question was do you mind if I changed my shoes?
- 25:01Speaker 5: I was like, you could change into whatever you want,
- 25:04Speaker 5: and I was rocking the Chucks. He came out in
- 25:06Speaker 5: his chucks. I was like, oh, they're just in the
- 25:07Speaker 5: back of your cargo. Was yeah, so I had these
- 25:09Speaker 5: dress shoes on they had to wear, I assume for work.
- 25:12Speaker 5: He's trying to be trying to be a pro.
- 25:14Speaker 9: He wasn't like a big football guy either. And that's
- 25:17Speaker 9: not like me discrediting him. He was very honest about that. So,
- 25:20Speaker 9: like at one point they we were talking about Miles Garrett,
- 25:23Speaker 9: He's like, who's Miles Garrett. We're like, okay, this is
- 25:24Speaker 9: the level, Like you aren't really in this world at all.
- 25:27Speaker 9: He was so ready to be a part of every
- 25:29Speaker 9: single installation we did with the Rams and Chargers.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Yeah, did you follow up to you ask him for
- 25:33Speaker 4: a take on Baker Mayfield's contract situation.
- 25:36Speaker 10: We I think we missed that one.
- 25:38Speaker 5: Yeah, we did so much going on.
- 25:39Speaker 4: Oh you don't know, Miles Garrett. How about what do
- 25:41Speaker 4: you think about Baker Mayfield's pressers last week?
- 25:44Speaker 11: He almost worked out in the hotel gym with them, Yeah,
- 25:47Speaker 11: literally and on that but that's okay. I don't know
- 25:49Speaker 11: if he didn't have clothes or something, but like we
- 25:52Speaker 11: they invited him, I wasn't working out.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Yeah, what do we How do we feel about Baker
- 25:56Speaker 5: Mayfield not getting a contract with tamp Bay Buccaneers.
- 25:59Speaker 4: I think it is we get to watch hardball being
- 26:02Speaker 4: played in real time. Yeah, you don't really get that
- 26:04Speaker 4: a lot like Baker. It sounds like from what I've
- 26:09Speaker 4: seen listen to and read, I want to say, Schefter
- 26:11Speaker 4: might have been on McAfee or something like that saying
- 26:13Speaker 4: that they offered him a two year deal and it
- 26:15Speaker 4: was north to fifty. Because Baker was alluding to I
- 26:18Speaker 4: want to say, somebody asked him like was it fifty
- 26:20Speaker 4: and he said no. But Schefty's coming out and saying
- 26:23Speaker 4: like he did get offered a two year deal over
- 26:26Speaker 4: fifty per year annually. The reason Baker wouldn't want to
- 26:30Speaker 4: take that is he sees himself as a franchise quarterback.
- 26:32Speaker 4: He's earned it. Three years there, He's throwing for over
- 26:34Speaker 4: twelve thousand yards ninety plus touchdowns. Like, the dude has
- 26:38Speaker 4: been a stud for Tampa Bay and they could use
- 26:40Speaker 4: like a consistent piece at quarterback at that franchise. They
- 26:44Speaker 4: haven't really had one. And the reason, if you're a Baker,
- 26:48Speaker 4: you wouldn't take that. So here's what's probably going to happen.
- 26:51Speaker 4: They're probably going to franchise tag him after this year
- 26:54Speaker 4: because Tampa Bay doesn't want to get rid of them.
- 26:56Speaker 4: They're just being smart by trying to offer him. They
- 26:58Speaker 4: know they have two franchise tags on it. Kirk Cousins
- 27:01Speaker 4: was in the same situation in Washington Tour. Next year
- 27:04Speaker 4: franchise tag is gonna be forty six million dollars. The
- 27:07Speaker 4: second year they have another franchise tag they can put
- 27:09Speaker 4: on the that's gonna be like fifty six or fifty
- 27:11Speaker 4: seven annually. That works out Baker in his mind, I'm
- 27:14Speaker 4: already getting over one hundred million dollars the next two
- 27:17Speaker 4: years based on franchise tags alone. So why would he
- 27:20Speaker 4: take a third year extension that sits in that same
- 27:23Speaker 4: kind of vicinity of fifty something million dollars. He's wanting
- 27:27Speaker 4: a longer term deal, but I bet Tampa doesn't move
- 27:29Speaker 4: on it because Tampa's gone it for two more years.
- 27:32Speaker 4: That'll be five years that they've had Baker Mayfield. They'll
- 27:34Speaker 4: kind of see, you know, how he operates now that
- 27:36Speaker 4: Mike Evans has gone, and just the roster that he
- 27:39Speaker 4: has now. But I enjoy because you get to see
- 27:42Speaker 4: the hardball being played out in real time because Baker.
- 27:44Speaker 4: Most quarterbacks aren't out there kind of bitching about the
- 27:47Speaker 4: contract situation at the height at the start of training camp.
- 27:51Speaker 4: Usually it's very much like we're trying to work something out.
- 27:53Speaker 4: Baker's sitting there being very vocal. I gave him a deadline.
- 27:56Speaker 4: You know how the deadline game where you've been in
- 27:58Speaker 4: these fires, there's a deadline. There's not a deadline. Yeah,
- 28:00Speaker 4: but Baker's saying like, no, I gave them a deadline
- 28:02Speaker 4: for training game. Deadlights past and we're not talking.
- 28:03Speaker 5: He's a we're all ball now, That's what we're focused on.
- 28:05Speaker 12: His all ball.
- 28:06Speaker 5: I understand the back and forth and the play for schefter.
- 28:09Speaker 5: He probably got a text from somebody and at the
- 28:11Speaker 5: up front office of the Tampa Bay saying this is
- 28:15Speaker 5: kind of the contract we gave him, structured the way
- 28:18Speaker 5: you put it out like this, because that's I mean,
- 28:20Speaker 5: that's what was taking place. Here's what I understand, the
- 28:23Speaker 5: business part of it, and I love kind of the
- 28:25Speaker 5: back and forth chest that's taking place. But if you're
- 28:27Speaker 5: going to mess with people, it shouldn't be your franchise quarterback.
- 28:32Speaker 5: Because Baker being the first overall pick for Cleveland, bringing
- 28:35Speaker 5: them to the playoffs the first time, forever bouncing around
- 28:38Speaker 5: a little bit, showing up at the Rams on a Thursday,
- 28:40Speaker 5: having forty eight hours and having a two minute drive
- 28:42Speaker 5: to win the game, like he's done a lot of
- 28:44Speaker 5: stuff to kind of re spark his career and then
- 28:46Speaker 5: finds a home at Tampa or I think the first
- 28:48Speaker 5: six games last year he had four last second like
- 28:53Speaker 5: last drive wins or yeahs, and he had a bunch
- 28:57Speaker 5: of injuries taking place. He was injured and still willed
- 28:59Speaker 5: this team to win some early games that really shape
- 29:02Speaker 5: the season in the NFC South. So if I'm Tampa,
- 29:05Speaker 5: I need to understand that continuity leadership in the organization
- 29:09Speaker 5: is always going to be on the quarterback. So just
- 29:11Speaker 5: make your quarterback happy, even if you can see structurally,
- 29:15Speaker 5: we know that we have him these next two years
- 29:17Speaker 5: for around the same price as we offered him. Give
- 29:19Speaker 5: him the longer contract. And that's when you start to
- 29:22Speaker 5: bring pieces in from a free agency standpoint, being like,
- 29:24Speaker 5: this is going to be your quarterback. This is what
- 29:26Speaker 5: his strengths are. His weakness is because Baker, every since
- 29:29Speaker 5: showing up with Tampa, has shown that he has the
- 29:31Speaker 5: capability to go get yourself a trophy. So I'm in
- 29:35Speaker 5: the camp of we got to pay Baker Mayfield. We
- 29:37Speaker 5: got to get that done. If you're going to do
- 29:40Speaker 5: the negotiation and the contract work and all that, let's
- 29:43Speaker 5: not do it with the biggest piece of your puzzle,
- 29:45Speaker 5: which is the quarterback piece.
- 29:46Speaker 4: It sounds and again I'm guessing on this part, but
- 29:48Speaker 4: Baker's probably wanting at least.
- 29:50Speaker 5: What a four or five year deal. He want some
- 29:53Speaker 5: sort of longevity, You want some security to know you
- 29:57Speaker 5: the next three years. Why would you? Because you have
- 30:01Speaker 5: a quarterback that can actually that is talented and good
- 30:04Speaker 5: enough to bring you a Lombardi Trophy. And if you
- 30:06Speaker 5: have that piece, you pay your quarterback. You give him
- 30:09Speaker 5: what he needs. Now you can go out and get
- 30:11Speaker 5: other pieces you get to play with this guy for
- 30:13Speaker 5: the next however many years. This is what we signed
- 30:15Speaker 5: him for. You need the head of the snake in
- 30:18Speaker 5: order to function at one hundred percent. And if you
- 30:21Speaker 5: have one guy who's getting, in his opinion, fucked, he's
- 30:24Speaker 5: feeling some type of way towards the Buccaneers. Yeah, he's
- 30:27Speaker 5: gonna be a good leader, he's gonna be all a ball,
- 30:29Speaker 5: but everyone's gonna know if you pull him into a
- 30:31Speaker 5: corner and you're like, how do we feel, he's gonna
- 30:32Speaker 5: be pissed off with the situation. And you don't want
- 30:34Speaker 5: your strongest leader getting into those small groups in the
- 30:37Speaker 5: locker room with the lunch table saying X, Y and Z,
- 30:39Speaker 5: because once those things happen, that's cancer. If you have
- 30:42Speaker 5: one guy who is in a leadership position, who's been
- 30:45Speaker 5: there for a while, if you have one guy that's
- 30:48Speaker 5: kind of spitting that venom throughout the facility, it can
- 30:50Speaker 5: hurt the entire team that way. So that's where it's like, Vitave,
- 30:54Speaker 5: he wants to get a trade. He's at the same team,
- 30:56Speaker 5: he's at the Tip Bay Buccaneers. I can understand the
- 30:59Speaker 5: game taking place, Vida. I think they should still pay him. Obviously,
- 31:02Speaker 5: we're gonna get a salary cap situation. Then you're paying
- 31:04Speaker 5: both those guys. But when it comes to the quarterback,
- 31:06Speaker 5: it's like, take care of your number one guy first,
- 31:09Speaker 5: and then it's on Baker to kind of go towards
- 31:11Speaker 5: the Kirk Cousins role of how do we structure these
- 31:14Speaker 5: contracts so it can trickle down for everybody else. So
- 31:16Speaker 5: it's like there's a bit of a yin and yang
- 31:18Speaker 5: taking place. I always lie on the fact that let's
- 31:20Speaker 5: pay our boy. Let's get our boy paid and make
- 31:23Speaker 5: sure that we have the continuity of this team in
- 31:25Speaker 5: this franchise so we feel really good about it. Yeah,
- 31:28Speaker 5: that's Kevin's actual fields clean That's no, that's a that's
- 31:30Speaker 5: a clean take.
- 31:30Speaker 4: That's a clean take. I would love for Baker to
- 31:32Speaker 4: get paid. I'm just thinking, if you're the Tampa Bay, like,
- 31:35Speaker 4: no matter what, Baker can be as pissed as he
- 31:38Speaker 4: wants to be in this situation, but he's still going
- 31:41Speaker 4: to have to go out there and deal. You can't
- 31:42Speaker 4: sit in it too long, Yeah, you know what I mean,
- 31:44Speaker 4: Like you can't like just start creating this cancers or
- 31:47Speaker 4: toxic or the quarterbacks piss off. They're not going to
- 31:50Speaker 4: give a shit if you don't go out there and perform.
- 31:52Speaker 4: He's still messing with his money, you know what I mean,
- 31:54Speaker 4: Like he's he's still even if even if they have
- 31:57Speaker 4: him trapped for like a two year franchise and he's
- 31:59Speaker 4: wanting to get this longer term franchise quarterback type deal.
- 32:03Speaker 4: No matter what, you're still going to have to go
- 32:04Speaker 4: out there and play to that level. Yeah, And there's
- 32:07Speaker 4: going to be a part of you that's almost pissed
- 32:08Speaker 4: off that you have to play that level because you're like,
- 32:11Speaker 4: they fucking got me.
- 32:12Speaker 5: Yeah. But Baker, we've seen him since his time in Oklahoma.
- 32:15Speaker 5: He's the type of guy that has the delusional chip
- 32:17Speaker 5: on his shoulder where a guy says one thing that
- 32:19Speaker 5: could be taken as a positive or negative, he's gonna
- 32:21Speaker 5: take it as a negative and use it as motivation
- 32:24Speaker 5: to approve that individual wrong. You just don't want the
- 32:27Speaker 5: motivation for him to be the franchise he's playing for.
- 32:29Speaker 5: He's gonna go ball out this year. That's to me
- 32:32Speaker 5: a without question, and he's going to prove it to himself.
- 32:35Speaker 5: But as he does that, it's gonna make the contract
- 32:38Speaker 5: negotiation more difficult on the back end because of the
- 32:41Speaker 5: Kirk Cousin situation that we've seen a few years ago.
- 32:43Speaker 5: He's gonna get franchise tagged a couple of times. Kirk
- 32:45Speaker 5: o who is not as like open and verbal about
- 32:50Speaker 5: his feelings. He kind of keeps a more traditional quarterback.
- 32:53Speaker 5: Baker's gonna be like, no, no, fuck you, guys, I
- 32:55Speaker 5: did this. Now you have opining more. The price tag
- 32:57Speaker 5: of yesterday is different than what it is today. On
- 33:00Speaker 5: the pay a little bit more now. In my opinion,
- 33:02Speaker 5: it's like, now's the time you get them. And if
- 33:04Speaker 5: you're Baker, think about it. You know I'm with you
- 33:06Speaker 5: on that.
- 33:06Speaker 4: It's like you can look at the top ten quarterbacks
- 33:08Speaker 4: and plug him in there, whether it's fifty five a
- 33:10Speaker 4: year over the next few years or four years, right,
- 33:13Speaker 4: and you're still making a good decision because.
- 33:15Speaker 5: If you're Tampa, what are your options? You go pay
- 33:17Speaker 5: a guy the price that Baker probably wants in two
- 33:20Speaker 5: years and then you're in the same spot but with
- 33:22Speaker 5: a different quarterback with a different skills. The quarterbacks making
- 33:24Speaker 5: like seventy years yeah exactly, or you go in the
- 33:27Speaker 5: draft you hope a guy's great and then you have
- 33:30Speaker 5: three four years kind of put big pieces around him
- 33:33Speaker 5: and just pray to God, you got yourself on my homes,
- 33:35Speaker 5: and it's like, let's just go with the guy we
- 33:36Speaker 5: know is already talent. You got a franchise guy right
- 33:39Speaker 5: now in the house. And if I'm Baker, it's like
- 33:42Speaker 5: just to just look at his career that we kind
- 33:44Speaker 5: of like very loosely and quickly broke down about being
- 33:47Speaker 5: the first to overall pike bouncing around all that, like
- 33:49Speaker 5: I'm sure he in his brain still has the there
- 33:53Speaker 5: are some assholes out there that think I am the best,
- 33:56Speaker 5: and by getting this contract that I want, it finally
- 33:59Speaker 5: shoves up like I am the guy I always thought
- 34:02Speaker 5: I was and you guys were always wrong about me.
- 34:04Speaker 5: There's always gonna be that aspect, and until that big
- 34:06Speaker 5: dollar figure comes, there's always gonna be something for the
- 34:09Speaker 5: haters kind of hang their hat on and be like,
- 34:11Speaker 5: oh you still haven't They still don't trust you still
- 34:14Speaker 5: and giving you a two year dah. You know. So
- 34:15Speaker 5: there's a lot of from the outside looking in fun
- 34:19Speaker 5: entertainment to watch and take place here. But if I'm Tampa,
- 34:22Speaker 5: it's like the in my opinion, the longer you wait
- 34:25Speaker 5: on this guy, the more expensive he's gonna be, to
- 34:28Speaker 5: the point where it's like then you have a cousin
- 34:30Speaker 5: situation where you have to let him go, and the more.
- 34:32Speaker 4: Weird kind of damage you're doing for your team. Like, yeah,
- 34:35Speaker 4: on the outside, it's entertaining to watch, but as those
- 34:38Speaker 4: pressers are coming out last week, in the first week
- 34:40Speaker 4: of training camp, I'm thinking, fuck, man, it doesn't sound
- 34:42Speaker 4: good out in Tampa Bay right now.
- 34:44Speaker 5: And this is the point of the year where we
- 34:46Speaker 5: talked about right as we started, like dude, it's back,
- 34:49Speaker 5: we got ball back. Everyone's starting to even though baseball
- 34:53Speaker 5: is in the need of things, a lot of sports
- 34:55Speaker 5: are about to start up, and it's like everyone's just
- 34:58Speaker 5: so like what's going on with fotball. The last thing
- 35:01Speaker 5: any of these thirty two franchises want is that type
- 35:04Speaker 5: of publicity where they have one of their star players,
- 35:07Speaker 5: their star player who's upset with the organization. You want
- 35:10Speaker 5: all the good pr in the world because you have
- 35:12Speaker 5: thirty two teams right now going we could hoist the
- 35:14Speaker 5: trophy this year. Delusional, real, not real. All of it
- 35:18Speaker 5: is in play, but everybody has the same hopes and dreams,
- 35:20Speaker 5: and if you're a Tampa Bay fan, you're not thinking, man,
- 35:23Speaker 5: what if we do X, Y and Z this year?
- 35:25Speaker 5: Because we have these pieces, we've done this, It's like,
- 35:27Speaker 5: oh shit, Baker Mayfield's upset about his contract. Now this
- 35:30Speaker 5: has to be a conversation that's taking away from what's
- 35:33Speaker 5: our end goal, and that's the host de troit.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Yea, all the fans and people are gonna care about it.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Say what's going on with Baker Mayfield the Buccaneers right now? Yeah,
- 35:40Speaker 4: front office.
- 35:40Speaker 5: Absolutely, you saw.
- 35:42Speaker 4: Potential twenty twenty six all white receiver Ricky Piersoll.
- 35:47Speaker 5: He dropped last week? Is he all white?
- 35:51Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 35:51Speaker 5: Oh yeah, what you're talking about?
- 35:52Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 35:52Speaker 5: He played at Florida because the juice.
- 35:54Speaker 4: What boy's got some emotion.
- 35:55Speaker 5: He's got a little emotion and that's mine bad. I
- 35:57Speaker 5: don't see color, so it's a little more difficult for me.
- 36:00Speaker 5: It's difficult for me to do that. But now they
- 36:02Speaker 5: shout him down. It seems like he's gonna get surgery now. Yeah,
- 36:05Speaker 5: he's got a was a repair of an ACL PCL. Yeah,
- 36:10Speaker 5: same injury, right, yes, PCL.
- 36:12Speaker 1: You didn't miss any time?
- 36:13Speaker 5: Oh I missed?
- 36:14Speaker 4: I was back on the field nine days thanks to
- 36:16Speaker 4: some help of a couple of doctors. But when I
- 36:18Speaker 4: saw when I was listening, because everybody's coming after, Oh yeah,
- 36:22Speaker 4: you got you got the substation, you got all the
- 36:24Speaker 4: things that go on kind of around the Niners, you
- 36:26Speaker 4: got the AUK situation. How's the front office? How do
- 36:28Speaker 4: they handle all these situations? And I see a lot
- 36:31Speaker 4: of people coming after John Lych kind of spoke on it, like, hey,
- 36:34Speaker 4: they decided, the doctors, everybody decided they weren't going to
- 36:37Speaker 4: operate on his knee, his torn PCL after the season
- 36:40Speaker 4: last year, that he would make progress and get better
- 36:42Speaker 4: throughout the season. Obviously, swelling and stuff is kind of
- 36:45Speaker 4: messed it up to where now he's going to officially
- 36:47Speaker 4: go on season ending IR. I think he's getting surgery now.
- 36:51Speaker 4: But everybody's kind of coming after the San Francisco forty
- 36:55Speaker 4: nine ers organization because they're like, oh, this is another
- 36:57Speaker 4: mishandling of this situation. He should have should have got
- 36:59Speaker 4: surgery alone time ago. And I'm sitting there it's like,
- 37:01Speaker 4: as somebody who tore their PCL and knows a little
- 37:04Speaker 4: bit about the PCL, I was surprised when I was
- 37:07Speaker 4: advised or saying like, oh, no, you don't usually get
- 37:10Speaker 4: surgery on your PCL because it's the thickest tendon, all
- 37:13Speaker 4: the blood flow to it, like it usually the majority
- 37:16Speaker 4: of the time, like a hype possibility and not like
- 37:19Speaker 4: fifty to fifty sixty forty seventy thirty, like a high
- 37:22Speaker 4: probability that your knee is going to be okay. Troy
- 37:25Speaker 4: Polamalu tore his PCL early in his career, played on
- 37:28Speaker 4: the rest of his career. Yeah, I when I say
- 37:29Speaker 4: John Lynch alluded to he tore his PCL, like people
- 37:32Speaker 4: who tear their PCL, they don't usually get surgery. So
- 37:35Speaker 4: everybody that's kind of losing their mind over if they
- 37:37Speaker 4: should have got surgery, they kind of mishandled this situation. Nah,
- 37:40Speaker 4: I mean it seems like it just kind of didn't.
- 37:42Speaker 4: It seems like piercell kind of just got unlucky, was
- 37:44Speaker 4: swelling and everything kind of going on in his knee.
- 37:47Speaker 4: Because it is rare. You can look this up, you
- 37:49Speaker 4: can AI use whatever, you will, use whatever you want,
- 37:52Speaker 4: but it is rare to get PCL surgery.
- 37:54Speaker 5: Yeah, It's very different from like the meniscus, right cause
- 37:57Speaker 5: you brought up all the blood flow. It takes place
- 37:59Speaker 5: a lot of times when you have circulation in the
- 38:01Speaker 5: area the joint that is injured, that's where the body
- 38:03Speaker 5: can kind of heal and repair itself, as opposed to
- 38:06Speaker 5: the meniscus. There's not a lot of blood flow there.
- 38:08Speaker 5: So you see a lot of these players they tear
- 38:10Speaker 5: the meniscus, they'll cut it out right away. Long term
- 38:13Speaker 5: issues with that, but also you can get back on
- 38:15Speaker 5: the field relatipic quickly.
- 38:16Speaker 4: People could also like fall fall too with the acronym
- 38:19Speaker 4: of PCL, because you got ACL that gets surgery no
- 38:22Speaker 4: matter what. MCL gets surgery no matter what. You also
- 38:25Speaker 4: hear PCL, so people are like, oh, why didn't he
- 38:26Speaker 4: get surgery? Why didn't they fix his knee in the offseasons?
- 38:29Speaker 4: Now it is rare to get surgery on your PCL.
- 38:32Speaker 5: Dude, it sucks. You always want to see the players
- 38:34Speaker 5: do well, and it seems like he's had I mean
- 38:35Speaker 5: not only injuries, but the boy he's had some off
- 38:37Speaker 5: the field. He got shot one time, I think his
- 38:39Speaker 5: rookie year, and it's like Rick Brome and it's like
- 38:44Speaker 5: one of those guys. Man, you're just like you're like,
- 38:46Speaker 5: what if right, because he is he on the forty
- 38:49Speaker 5: nine ers next year? What is his contract look like?
- 38:51Speaker 5: Because he was a second third round pick guy? He
- 38:54Speaker 5: wasn't a first round pick guy was he was earlier
- 38:56Speaker 5: in that top three round where you're like, this guy's
- 38:58Speaker 5: got a lot of potential taking place. He had a
- 39:00Speaker 5: lot of success at the at the Florida Gators. We
- 39:03Speaker 5: want to see this guy elevate and motivate. But at
- 39:05Speaker 5: the same time, it's like, do the forty nine ers
- 39:08Speaker 5: move on next year? Because there is but they moved
- 39:10Speaker 5: on quick.
- 39:10Speaker 4: They got Deebo back on the roster, back on the roster.
- 39:13Speaker 4: Deebo immediately look at this video. It's it's uh, it's
- 39:17Speaker 4: am I driving Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel running routes.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Look how you know what I mean. Let's just tinfoil
- 39:22Speaker 4: hats on right now. Sure you see how massive that
- 39:25Speaker 4: substation is in the background, Yeah, I see it? Not
- 39:28Speaker 4: you know again, just tinfoil hat, tinfoil hat. You watch
- 39:32Speaker 4: this video is all of it. It's a city of
- 39:35Speaker 4: a substation.
- 39:36Speaker 5: But that's powering all of San Francisco, is what you're saying.
- 39:39Speaker 5: That thing is powering all of it. I know, man,
- 39:42Speaker 5: I know there's a couple of players out there that
- 39:44Speaker 5: don't love it, that don't love it. If you have
- 39:46Speaker 5: any metal in that body, you had the weird magnet
- 39:48Speaker 5: magnet thing going on. Because something could happen. We got
- 39:52Speaker 5: to hit a training camp out there. Yeah, well, with
- 39:53Speaker 5: the way we're talking, we're not gonna be able to
- 39:55Speaker 5: go see, no question, no question.
- 39:56Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about the injuries that I've had. I
- 39:58Speaker 4: would love to just be out there for a few
- 40:00Speaker 4: hours and just see and just feel.
- 40:02Speaker 5: Yeah, is there swilling in the name? What takes place
- 40:05Speaker 5: with that back of your five s one?
- 40:07Speaker 4: The pin I got in my foot, like, let me
- 40:08Speaker 4: see if it acts up, and I feel like I
- 40:10Speaker 4: have like some more wrights.
- 40:11Speaker 5: Speaking of pins, do you mind if I put a
- 40:12Speaker 5: pin on this and take this negative town and turn
- 40:14Speaker 5: it right around to positive Towns're ripping with the boys
- 40:16Speaker 5: is now in full effect, ladies jumping around of a
- 40:18Speaker 5: close ripping with the boys. It started with a little
- 40:22Speaker 5: whisper of a dream. I pull a clumpy baby and
- 40:24Speaker 5: comped into the side. I believe it was like late March.
- 40:27Speaker 5: It's like, hey, something about this ripping card game. I'm
- 40:29Speaker 5: really into the Pokemon. I can see myself getting into
- 40:30Speaker 5: football as well. I like to do this. I like
- 40:33Speaker 5: to see what this world is all about. Not knowing
- 40:35Speaker 5: that I was getting into an absolute monster of a
- 40:37Speaker 5: category when it comes to people's hobbies and loves. They
- 40:41Speaker 5: obviously were like, hey, full support, whatever you want to do,
- 40:43Speaker 5: go ahead and do it. We start doing some Instagram lives,
- 40:45Speaker 5: Pokemon cards, start ripping the football cards. I don't know
- 40:48Speaker 5: what's going on, but I see that traction is starting
- 40:50Speaker 5: to take place. The community starts to grow, people are
- 40:52Speaker 5: starting to love it, and we all kind of started
- 40:54Speaker 5: with the ability to give back to the fans. You're
- 40:57Speaker 5: the fan twenty twenty six. How do we go take
- 40:59Speaker 5: some of these things that are of high value that
- 41:01Speaker 5: people love and just give them. Hey, thank you for
- 41:03Speaker 5: supporting Bust with the Boys all these years. Thank you
- 41:05Speaker 5: for giving us the ability to do these training camp tours,
- 41:07Speaker 5: the spring tours, all these alleged possible shows they are
- 41:10Speaker 5: taking place are because of the fans. And as it's grown,
- 41:13Speaker 5: other people have been like, we love what you're doing.
- 41:15Speaker 5: How do we fund and get into this enter courtyard
- 41:18Speaker 5: dot io they do it? How do you make it real?
- 41:20Speaker 5: How do you make it real? Hey, we want to
- 41:22Speaker 5: see what this is. We have this cool app. You
- 41:24Speaker 5: go ahead and rip it. We'll buy it back from
- 41:26Speaker 5: you at ninety percent. You can also put it back
- 41:28Speaker 5: on the marketplace. You only got twenty five dollars, great,
- 41:31Speaker 5: we gotta rip for that. You want to spend a
- 41:32Speaker 5: little bit more because you like thrill shopping that much.
- 41:34Speaker 5: Here's a five thousand dollars pack and everything in between.
- 41:37Speaker 5: So they start going in. I look at the boys
- 41:39Speaker 5: and go, hey, this feels real. And I'm a guy
- 41:42Speaker 5: that I like doing things, and all of a sudden,
- 41:44Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't really feel like doing that anymore.
- 41:46Speaker 5: I love to you know, I'm a shotgun theory times
- 41:48Speaker 5: to get off the pot. Yeah, that's that's what when
- 41:51Speaker 5: it comes to me, I learned very quickly that I
- 41:54Speaker 5: love it. I'm all about it. I can see this
- 41:57Speaker 5: hobby being a part of the bus, not on the
- 41:58Speaker 5: bus in universe, but the Wong universe as well, where
- 42:01Speaker 5: I see my kids buying into it. So then the
- 42:03Speaker 5: conversation take places like how do we where do we
- 42:05Speaker 5: put this enter ripping with the boys? All right, new
- 42:08Speaker 5: logo that's now on YouTube. We have it on all
- 42:10Speaker 5: of our socials. It's kind of been sitting there a
- 42:13Speaker 5: little bit dormant. I think we're right around the five
- 42:16Speaker 5: thousand and six thousand follower mark on Twitter and Instagram.
- 42:19Speaker 5: I don't take nor do I talk, so I have
- 42:21Speaker 5: no idea what is happening on that side of the
- 42:23Speaker 5: social media campaign. But even the YouTube was starting to
- 42:25Speaker 5: get close to a thousand subscribers. But it's like, who

- 46:34Speaker 5: one or two guys out there are kind of still
- 46:36Speaker 5: kind of card haters. But I will say who hosted
- 46:39Speaker 5: the boys? You want me to say their names? I
- 46:41Speaker 5: think ourmer one card haters is Matt Malone, right. He
- 46:44Speaker 5: kind of doesn't know I've been told, is told because
- 46:48Speaker 5: I'm not a hater, but you know about oparts, I'm
- 46:49Speaker 5: not a hater. I don't really understand it the whole thing.
- 46:51Speaker 7: But sounds like you never got to hit.
- 46:55Speaker 5: Open a pack open. Let the experts tell you is listen.
- 47:00Speaker 12: If I could have one selling point, listen football and
- 47:03Speaker 12: sometimes we hit the summer sports end cards never end.
- 47:07Speaker 12: The season is twenty four to seven. It's always dialed
- 47:10Speaker 12: if you want.
- 47:10Speaker 5: If you need that football fixed, dude, it's here. It's
- 47:12Speaker 5: at ripping with the boys right now always. I remember,
- 47:15Speaker 5: you know, I didn't see a lot of enthusiasm and
- 47:17Speaker 5: a jack early or this early early, and we were
- 47:19Speaker 5: in Vegas dripping back and he ripped himself a Courtyard

- 47:25Speaker 5: Pokemon too. I tell you this football incredible. All the
- 47:30Speaker 5: sports cards are incredible. I'm getting more and more into it.
- 47:32Speaker 5: Let's not sleep on Pokemon now, on Pokemon, especially the original.
- 47:37Speaker 9: This past weekend you have now the busting exclusive pack
- 47:40Speaker 9: on Courtyard dot. I.

- 47:56Speaker 9: time on It's a It's.
- 47:57Speaker 5: The first logo when you open it up on the

- 48:01Speaker 5: going off.
- 48:02Speaker 11: How about ripping packs that we like midnight or one
- 48:04Speaker 11: in the morning. We got done winning some money and
- 48:08Speaker 11: then losing our winnings.
- 48:10Speaker 4: Going back to the room and we're all kind of
- 48:11Speaker 4: like tired, like okay, we got to get up about six.

- 48:32Speaker 5: at a six am wake up damn near warn in
- 48:34Speaker 5: the morning, I'm like, let's rip these packs. So ripping.
- 48:37Speaker 4: I tell hey, get in here. We need more hands,
- 48:39Speaker 4: we need more hand.
- 48:41Speaker 5: Yeah, had ourselves a mandatory cold tub shout out. Jared
- 48:47Speaker 5: Beamon got it done. Yeah, kicking and screaming, but we
- 48:50Speaker 5: got it done.
- 48:52Speaker 7: He said, we got it done.
- 48:53Speaker 5: We got it done. I mean I never seen a
- 48:55Speaker 5: girl man kicking and screaming like that. To get that
- 48:57Speaker 5: was It was tough to watch, And especially when he
- 49:00Speaker 5: was squatted up in the back, I'm like, where are
- 49:02Speaker 5: you gonna go? Because I'm not giving up. You're gonna
- 49:06Speaker 5: get in this cold I meanwhile, Nolan's neck deep in
- 49:09Speaker 5: this thing.
- 49:09Speaker 11: That was the first time where I was like, are
- 49:11Speaker 11: we gonna fight? We weren't gonna fight because I thought
- 49:13Speaker 11: you were right to push me in there. I was like,
- 49:14Speaker 11: if you push me in here like I'm gonna I'm
- 49:16Speaker 11: gonna lose this fight. But I was like, are we
- 49:17Speaker 11: actually about to get in a real fight. I was
- 49:19Speaker 11: going fight or fight like I was freaking out. He
- 49:24Speaker 11: was acting like he was backed into I was.
- 49:26Speaker 5: Like a cat in a corner. I was like trying
- 49:27Speaker 5: to get my way out. He was hissing. He was hissing, Yeah,
- 49:30Speaker 5: it is get in there, dude.
- 49:32Speaker 11: You know I was in the the The whole argument
- 49:34Speaker 11: is I was in the cold or the ice bath
- 49:36Speaker 11: or whatever, and uh, Will had the timer going or
- 49:40Speaker 11: I don't know who had the time We're going And
- 49:41Speaker 11: then you're like, well, he's not in enough to sit down.
- 49:46Speaker 5: I was sitting in it.
- 49:47Speaker 11: I was sitting where everyone else was, where the cutoff was, No,
- 49:50Speaker 11: you're not, and then you restart the time. I'm like,
- 49:52Speaker 11: if you're not timing this for fun, if you're using
- 49:56Speaker 11: your hands to support you with the tub, you're not at.
- 49:58Speaker 5: It like sitting sitting on your ankles.
- 50:01Speaker 10: And yeah, meanwhile, Ryan Nolan is literally almost with his
- 50:04Speaker 10: nose under the water.
- 50:05Speaker 5: No doubt, and all the movement of the water from
- 50:08Speaker 5: him around that it was just affecting Nolan. Hey, when
- 50:12Speaker 5: you're looking at it. I don't give a fuck.
- 50:14Speaker 1: You don't.
- 50:15Speaker 5: I'm not an easy hey take it easy man, fuck y'all,
- 50:23Speaker 5: I mean boy, go ahead. It's something to keep in mind.
- 50:25Speaker 5: Something I was going to my football football is around
- 50:29Speaker 5: the corner. Something to keep in mind. I'm just go ahead.
- 50:32Speaker 5: Chaotic college football season is coming this year. Yeah, here's
- 50:36Speaker 5: something to keep in mind. Forty million dollars roster at
- 50:39Speaker 5: LSU could win the entire SEC. There's something to keep
- 50:43Speaker 5: in mind. You think so, It's just I'm not saying
- 50:46Speaker 5: I think it, I believe it or anything. I'm just saying,
- 50:48Speaker 5: keep it in mind, keep it in mind.
- 50:50Speaker 4: Obvious SEC championship feels like obvious, obvious, way too early,
- 50:54Speaker 4: right right, too obvious. Texas and Georgia. No, you know
- 50:58Speaker 4: Texas to you look at the SEC the game, not
- 51:03Speaker 4: the not the winner.
- 51:04Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Georgia always seems to find their way
- 51:07Speaker 5: into it. No, not be nice. If there's a year
- 51:09Speaker 5: to get Georgia, this is the year. Something to keep
- 51:11Speaker 5: in mind. If anyone's gonna get got this year, it
- 51:12Speaker 5: could be Georgia. If anyone's gonna get got this year,
- 51:15Speaker 5: not a lot of perimeters. Now what got what got.
- 51:19Speaker 5: I'm just saying, like, so other than the twenty nineteen
- 51:22Speaker 5: LSU National champions the winners of like what the last
- 51:25Speaker 5: twenty years of the SEC have been either Alabama or Georgia.
- 51:29Speaker 5: Right since Nick Saban's kind of walked away from the game,
- 51:31Speaker 5: it's really been Georgia. Kind kind of something to keep
- 51:35Speaker 5: in mind, something to keep in mind down near for Alabama,
- 51:39Speaker 5: just something to keep in mind, something to keep in mind.
- 51:42Speaker 5: Seven to five, eight and four, that's just something to
- 51:43Speaker 5: keep mind. I'm not a hater. I was just saying,
- 51:45Speaker 5: keep that in mind. When you look at the production
- 51:48Speaker 5: that Georgia had last year. Who left their team, who
- 51:51Speaker 5: they brought in. This feels like a year that Georgia
- 51:56Speaker 5: could not make it to the SEC championship. Something to
- 51:58Speaker 5: keep in mind.
- 51:59Speaker 4: They got three return starters on the old line. They
- 52:01Speaker 4: struggled with the line their unit last year.
- 52:04Speaker 5: Yeah, they did.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Stockton, they got the two headed monster in the backfield
- 52:08Speaker 4: back very difficult, got some you know they're gonna have studs.
- 52:11Speaker 4: It's it's a factory when it comes to the skill position.
- 52:13Speaker 5: Very difficult to argue with Gunner, Stockton and Kirby Smart
- 52:16Speaker 5: being on the same sideline saying those guys are gonna
- 52:18Speaker 5: get it done. I'm just saying the defense is gonna
- 52:20Speaker 5: be nice. Set a record at Georgia for the most
- 52:23Speaker 5: receptions in a year. You give them the ball on
- 52:25Speaker 5: the perimeter. Mike Bobo loves his bubble passes. Toss him
- 52:28Speaker 5: out there. Let the kid cook a little bit. Run
- 52:30Speaker 5: game wasn't so great. Gunnar Stockton is elite. Kirby Smart
- 52:33Speaker 5: is a huge culture guy. I love him to death.
- 52:35Speaker 5: I'm just saying something to keep in mind. Could get
- 52:37Speaker 5: him this year. I'm just saying, could get him this year,
- 52:40Speaker 5: and then and then LSU going back to the original.
- 52:43Speaker 5: Keep in mind l s U with their issue last
- 52:46Speaker 5: year was what offensive production. Who's great at the offense
- 52:50Speaker 5: lane at holes, but their defense kept them in games
- 52:55Speaker 5: for most of the year. That was a question mark
- 52:57Speaker 5: with Brian Kelly the last three years they got it going.
- 53:00Speaker 5: Don't lose a lot of guys. Now you get Lane
- 53:02Speaker 5: Kiff and you got a forty million dollars roster. I'm
- 53:05Speaker 5: just saying the number one transfer class by far, with
- 53:08Speaker 5: seventeen transfers coming in four and five stars. Who was
- 53:12Speaker 5: the number one transferred class last year? Texas Tech. Yeah,
- 53:16Speaker 5: yea Texas Tech. A bunch of mercenaries ripping around out there.
- 53:19Speaker 5: What happened bight twelve championship of a bunch of missionaries?
- 53:23Speaker 5: That's right? Brought up Oklahoma? Yes, something to keep in mind,
- 53:27Speaker 5: John Myteer. Maybe the best physique of any quarterback besides uh,
- 53:32Speaker 5: was it Byron Brown?
- 53:34Speaker 1: Barron?
- 53:34Speaker 5: Is it Byron Brown? At Auburn? Something to keep in mind,
- 53:38Speaker 5: John Myteer, you can gone.
- 53:40Speaker 4: Some were all shake it up at Florida or Auburn
- 53:42Speaker 4: this year.
- 53:43Speaker 5: I'll say this, I believe I have myself a Kurtz
- 53:45Speaker 5: Signetti parlay, new coach parlay taking place for this upcoming futures,
- 53:51Speaker 5: involving futures and involving first year head coaches. Can you
- 53:54Speaker 5: give me a t can you get? Can you? Actually?
- 53:56Speaker 5: I like Florida and I like Auburn, and I like
- 53:58Speaker 5: above wind totals this year? Do you know what their
- 54:00Speaker 5: win totals are? I don't. I think I did, but
- 54:04Speaker 5: I don't right now. Because that's how CT works. Brother,
- 54:06Speaker 5: Sometimes you just fall back and let the brain work
- 54:08Speaker 5: its own process out. But it's just something to keep
- 54:10Speaker 5: in mind. Something to keep in mind. There's no question
- 54:13Speaker 5: marks with the organ. Yeah, I mean the organ's got
- 54:16Speaker 5: the they got it. This is this is the year
- 54:19Speaker 5: it has to be.
- 54:21Speaker 4: But it feels like a good year for several teams.
- 54:23Speaker 5: In the Big ten. In the Big ten, uh oh oh.
- 54:27Speaker 5: I believe we have a.
- 54:28Speaker 4: Special guest coming on the most coach Parlay maybe to
- 54:30Speaker 4: add maybe to just peak at U c l A
- 54:33Speaker 4: and Col.
- 54:35Speaker 5: Hey can't tell you something. I haven't looked too much
- 54:37Speaker 5: into Cow, but I have looked int the U c
- 54:39Speaker 5: l A. And I love that take.
- 54:41Speaker 4: I love the James Madison cat coming over there, Nico,
- 54:45Speaker 4: how you say?
- 54:45Speaker 8: I am.
- 54:47Speaker 4: Him getting him on year two outside of all the
- 54:49Speaker 4: drama they went on last year, little going into a
- 54:53Speaker 4: second year of little cibilia, I think U c l
- 54:54Speaker 4: A can be a matter of fact, a sneaky great game.
- 54:57Speaker 4: Week one is U c l A Cow because Cow's
- 54:59Speaker 4: new head, which is Tosh, the d corner that came
- 55:01Speaker 4: from Oregon. Tosh played there, made a full core press
- 55:05Speaker 4: to go back to his home which is cal and
- 55:08Speaker 4: had a good transfer cycle. So again a new head coach,
- 55:12Speaker 4: new head coach parlay A couple to keep an eye
- 55:14Speaker 4: on U c l A.
- 55:15Speaker 5: Count yeah, JK s he can sling it. Yeah, he's

- 56:00Speaker 5: Coop is always a good vibe. He's always got that
- 56:02Speaker 5: kind of keeps it straight all the way through. But
- 56:04Speaker 5: when you're a fan of the Cardinals and Oklahoma State,

- 58:06Speaker 13: movie and then an original with Christopher Nolan seventy millimeter
- 58:10Speaker 13: and the number one thing. When I left Spider Man
- 58:13Speaker 13: because I saw it at ten thirty on Saturday night.
- 58:17Speaker 13: We're leaving the theater. Everyone's talking to a complete strangers.
- 58:22Speaker 13: Dudes walking next to me. We both look at each other.
- 58:24Speaker 13: We're like, dude, what a what a movie?
- 58:27Speaker 5: Man?

- 58:42Speaker 13: guy merges in, like it's an interstate. We start talking
- 58:45Speaker 13: and I'm like, dude, I missed this so much, Dude,
- 58:49Speaker 13: this is what it's about.
- 58:50Speaker 5: The one movie.
- 58:52Speaker 7: I love.
- 58:52Speaker 4: The Marvel universe kind of fell off after End Game
- 58:55Speaker 4: when they were kind of doing all the spin off movies,
- 58:57Speaker 4: but this might be the one, bro because getting Spider Man.
- 59:01Speaker 12: The best spider Man ever, if not tied with like
- 59:04Speaker 12: Spider Man two.
- 59:05Speaker 5: Is that?
- 59:06Speaker 1: Wow?
- 59:07Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 59:08Speaker 13: Wowids the Marvel movie four out of five.
- 59:11Speaker 7: That's just a movie. That's my take.
- 59:13Speaker 5: I love that. The thing that kind of took movies
- 59:16Speaker 5: away from me a little bit was everybody was just
- 59:17Speaker 5: funding all these Marvel movies and it was like, where
- 59:20Speaker 5: are the more like old school original ideas the resurgence
- 59:24Speaker 5: of other shows. That's where when honesty comes into play
- 59:27Speaker 5: with all the star power they have there. I love
- 59:28Speaker 5: that this horror movie that came out, By the way,
- 59:31Speaker 5: I haven't seen either of these, but just the fact
- 59:32Speaker 5: that these movies are coming out and they're getting such
- 59:34Speaker 5: rave reviews obsession as well with this this YouTube guy.
- 59:38Speaker 5: What what it's like? What is this YouTube channel?
- 59:41Speaker 10: Oh his name's Curry Baker, I think, yeah, but it's
- 59:45Speaker 10: uh something funny.
- 59:47Speaker 5: And it became funny. Yeah, it became like the highest
- 59:50Speaker 5: grossing like horror movie under a certain Yeah, and so
- 59:53Speaker 5: it's just like that to me is where okay, movies
- 59:56Speaker 5: are really starting to me to come back, where we're
- 59:57Speaker 5: not just hitting superhero movies or and over. We have
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: spooky movies taking place. The Odyssey, which is an absolute classic.
- 1:00:04Speaker 5: I think everybody read that book.
- 1:00:06Speaker 13: And uh, great reasons to get back to the theater,
- 1:00:09Speaker 13: great reasons and building like building towards the end of
- 1:00:12Speaker 13: the year too. Yeah, Dune and Avengers coming out same day.
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: I gotta get on, dude. I have to get on Dune,
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: got too because of what part three is coming out?
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: Right? Yeah, yeah, dude. I tried to watch the first one. Yeah,
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: I got I gotta. But it was the same thing
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: with Fury for me. I watched Fury the first time
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: and I was like, this movie is kind of whatever.
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: It was kind of none of your worst takes, one
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: of my worst takes. Jack and the boys got on
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: my ass about it, and I was like, I gotta, okay,
- 1:00:39Speaker 5: I'll go what you're watching. I was like, what what
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: the fuck was I thinking? This movie is absolutely incredible,
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: So I'm not gonna get back on Dune.
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: They also got to watch Project Hill.
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Mary.
- 1:00:47Speaker 13: You want to talk about acting performance, Ryan Gosling really
- 1:00:50Speaker 13: that's an underrated movie.
- 1:00:51Speaker 9: It's such a I think it's a perfectly rated movie.
- 1:00:54Speaker 9: You guys need to say that your kids would enjoy
- 1:00:56Speaker 9: that too. That's a movie you can bring kids too.
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: It's like a nice yeah, extraterrestrial taking place. Also, I'll
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: take it as a terrible movie. Don't go see as
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: a new Minions movie. That was my kids.
- 1:01:09Speaker 7: I think that's a bad take too.
- 1:01:12Speaker 10: That's so many callbacks to just how film was created.
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: Yeah, that's you watched.
- 1:01:19Speaker 9: I saw Minions and Toy Story five in the same
- 1:01:21Speaker 9: day at two different Story five also some other Sneaky
- 1:01:28Speaker 9: Horrors Hoke them with Adam Adam Scott was really good.
- 1:01:33Speaker 9: That came out this year. Back Rooms was very enjoyable.
- 1:01:35Speaker 9: Not the greatest plot line, but visually incredible. The sound
- 1:01:40Speaker 9: quality is awesome. I agree there are That wasn't my
- 1:01:43Speaker 9: favorite Minion movie, but I did very much enjoy it,
- 1:01:46Speaker 9: just because those little.
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: Guys never bought into them those Story five was very
- 1:01:56Speaker 5: Toy Story five f five?
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: What was that like?
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: It's it will definitely hit you right now, like your
- 1:02:04Speaker 5: childhood based on what the childhood that's taking place for
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: all of our kids with the ipade, the tablets getting
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: in the game.
- 1:02:11Speaker 12: Bro.
- 1:02:11Speaker 5: I remember I watched that movie with five kids, and
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: I'm sitting there three times with the movie like crying
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: like fuck, dude, I gotta get out of this theater.
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: I gotta get out.
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: And when the friend the friends still don't mess with
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: her even though she gets a.
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: Table that kind of broke me. Yeah. Stop you know
- 1:02:27Speaker 5: down that road.
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: And mom seeing the chat, Mom seeing the chat going on,
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: like do that would like?
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: What are you on your kid to be nine years
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: old in a chat? Dude? You can't have that. Yeah.
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: The one you can take or leave is Mawana. We
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: hit the drive in theater. I forget where that's at
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: out in the outside of Nashville. Yeah, yeah, start us.
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: We went out to start us into the driving. You
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: can take it or leave it with the Moana lives
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: on a sandwich dude.
- 1:02:50Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:02:52Speaker 13: One other thing because Ryan Sobel said something over there
- 1:02:54Speaker 13: that I would like to know everybody's opinion on, you
- 1:02:58Speaker 13: know how like an Avengers movies and you went to
- 1:03:00Speaker 13: go see Infinity War and like when Thor comes in,
- 1:03:03Speaker 13: everybody starts cheering right like the theaters up.
- 1:03:06Speaker 5: The theater's loud.
- 1:03:07Speaker 13: Ryan, he hates that he hates when people like talk
- 1:03:11Speaker 13: during the movie in those settings.
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: What do y'all think?
- 1:03:16Speaker 9: I think there are certain moments that allow a good cheer,
- 1:03:18Speaker 9: but etiquette is very important to me as well. And
- 1:03:21Speaker 9: if people talk more than what you should be doing,
- 1:03:24Speaker 9: I'm very upset. I can't focus.
- 1:03:26Speaker 10: But if there's a monumental character that makes a reprise, yeah,
- 1:03:30Speaker 10: get a.
- 1:03:30Speaker 5: Good right music in the right moment, I just can't help.
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: Hell yeah, I've never felt the urge to clap in
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: a movie theater. I've never felt the urge, And when
- 1:03:40Speaker 5: you're saying it, it kind of is like the clapping
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: on landing for planes for me a little bit. But
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: I do agree that there are there are times I've.
- 1:03:46Speaker 9: Never felt when everything that's one of the greatest moments.
- 1:03:51Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: I'm not like a cheer guy, but I'm like, oh right,
- 1:03:55Speaker 6: that's more what I'm like, rather than like Stanley.
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: Dude.
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: I love. I love sitting down with your boys going

- 1:06:12Speaker 5: was in the front office for the Atlanta Falcons and
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: the Jacksonville Jaguars before finding himself here in twenty twelve.
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: This man hails from the great state of Alabama, and
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: now he lives in a nice, beautiful house of with
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: the best weather in the world in the state of California.
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: Let's give a random applause for let's need here right here, Jeredy,
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: din't clap Jeredy and clap. Jared's now clapping?
- 1:06:30Speaker 7: Am I supposed to clap?
- 1:06:32Speaker 8: You?
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: Club for yourself? You have to be your number one
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: advocate in life, don't you know?
- 1:06:35Speaker 8: You know what?
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I gotta be real with yourself. You have
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: to be real with yourself.
- 1:06:40Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: I was listening to a podcast with you Fits and
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: Wit earlier today and you brought up a phrase. I'm
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: gonna pull this up for quick to make sure I
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: say it correctly. Get to that.
- 1:06:53Speaker 7: Oh, I gotta get close yep.
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: Pulpwooding, pulp wooding. So from Alabama you get here, a
- 1:07:01Speaker 5: little more granola around here, but I'm sure you still
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: have your roots. Can you give me a little definition
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: of what pulp wooding is.
- 1:07:07Speaker 7: Pulp wooding would be Lower Alabama. So we're in La
- 1:07:12Speaker 7: Lay now, So there's pine trees in Lower Alabama. At
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: the end of the day, I think a lot. So
- 1:07:23Speaker 7: there would be just basically there's nothing but pine trees. Yeah,
- 1:07:26Speaker 7: probably some dirt roads and pine trees a few small towns.
- 1:07:30Speaker 7: So what would occur here is I believe, and we
- 1:07:34Speaker 7: got the fact check at Claude or chat GPT, they
- 1:07:36Speaker 7: don't go right now, Jack, you would cut A group
- 1:07:39Speaker 7: would come in cut the trees down. There's a process
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: cutting them down. Once you cut them down, you got
- 1:07:44Speaker 7: to store them. And then this big semi that's a
- 1:07:49Speaker 7: log truck cut them a log truck. You put logs
- 1:07:52Speaker 7: on the back of the truck. They would take the
- 1:07:54Speaker 7: logs to what I think was a paper mill to
- 1:07:57Speaker 7: make paper out of these trees could have been used
- 1:08:01Speaker 7: for other things too, So the pulp wooding comes into
- 1:08:05Speaker 7: whether it was your full time job, maybe even a
- 1:08:10Speaker 7: summer job. And if you were doing this as a
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: summer job, like your bottom your entry level box. So
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: your job at that point in time was as you're
- 1:08:22Speaker 7: just kind of doing the little things that's necessary to
- 1:08:25Speaker 7: get Hey, once we cut these trees down and we
- 1:08:27Speaker 7: put them in this big pile to wait for a
- 1:08:32Speaker 7: truck to pull up, and then this other machinery would
- 1:08:35Speaker 7: take and right put the logs on the truck. Your
- 1:08:38Speaker 7: job is kind of clean up, you know, if they
- 1:08:40Speaker 7: you know, branches, all that sweet things like that, doing
- 1:08:43Speaker 7: the jobs that you know. But there was an element
- 1:08:45Speaker 7: along the way of of hey, you're somewhat all day
- 1:08:50Speaker 7: long picking up some version of tree stumps.
- 1:08:53Speaker 5: Yes, you blue collar need some strength.
- 1:08:57Speaker 7: So the whole point of that conversation, WIT would know,
- 1:09:00Speaker 7: based on being from Louisiana, that there was a certain
- 1:09:04Speaker 7: let's call it high school football player. You may play
- 1:09:07Speaker 7: against someone. You might have been that person, yourself might
- 1:09:09Speaker 7: have been a teammate. End of the day, didn't matter
- 1:09:12Speaker 7: what they benched, but you weren't knocking them off the ball.
- 1:09:16Speaker 7: We're running duo at them, and guess what you just said.
- 1:09:20Speaker 7: You're just kind of running your feet, you know what
- 1:09:22Speaker 7: I mean. So that might not be able to bench
- 1:09:25Speaker 7: press anything. That's when hey, he's.
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: Pulpwood yeah, pulpwood strong.
- 1:09:29Speaker 7: Yes, that's functional strength.
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:09:33Speaker 5: You took a phrase that was politically incorrect and made
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: it more properly correct.
- 1:09:36Speaker 7: Pulpwood strong. Yes, And I don't I'm not sure it
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: should be politically incorrect. If it's politically incorrect, it is
- 1:09:44Speaker 7: because of laziness, and no one really took the time
- 1:09:47Speaker 7: to get to know and understand the context of what
- 1:09:51Speaker 7: that meant.
- 1:09:52Speaker 5: When you're looking at a beautiful location like La, the
- 1:09:55Speaker 5: weather is always perfect and it comfort kind of kills
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: growth a lot of the times. Do you get that
- 1:10:02Speaker 5: a little bit of La the shoes changed, the pants
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: get a little tighter, a little bit bagger based on
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: you know what this what style is in You look
- 1:10:08Speaker 5: at your team and you have some guys from all
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: over the country. How do you instill being from a
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: different type of La pulple winning type of mentality, blue
- 1:10:15Speaker 5: collar type of mentality when you're trying to pick out
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: guys that are the rams way.
- 1:10:20Speaker 7: Really good question, because I'm probably a part of it.
- 1:10:23Speaker 7: I would admit. Now spoiled here, yeah, I mean you
- 1:10:27Speaker 7: fall for it. Oh you this is wow. It's you
- 1:10:30Speaker 7: get spoiled and that it's superficial. It's weather, it's blue skies.
- 1:10:34Speaker 7: I mean, there's just something about like, wow, how fortunate
- 1:10:37Speaker 7: can we be? But again, it's in terms of weather, geography,
- 1:10:40Speaker 7: things like that. It's not like you're waking up every
- 1:10:42Speaker 7: day and you're all right, this is going to be
- 1:10:44Speaker 7: a humid day or what have you. So we're spoiled.
- 1:10:46Speaker 7: But I think at the end of the day, probably
- 1:10:48Speaker 7: part one to that question is just the Hey in
- 1:10:52Speaker 7: terms of acquiring bringing people on. Hey bring the right
- 1:10:57Speaker 7: people on a lot of people, whether it was born
- 1:11:01Speaker 7: that way, socialized that way, combination of both. Right, they're
- 1:11:06Speaker 7: just made to the right stuff. End of the day,
- 1:11:08Speaker 7: they care about football, and their care shows up in commitment.
- 1:11:12Speaker 7: Probably step two, part two of the algorithm would be,
- 1:11:18Speaker 7: let's take our head coach, Sean McVay and as a player,
- 1:11:23Speaker 7: I'm sure you've done the research. You would want to
- 1:11:25Speaker 7: come here and play for Sean. He's going to make
- 1:11:30Speaker 7: it fun. If you were a veteran, He's going to
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: take care of your body, right. He was going to
- 1:11:36Speaker 7: make sure that when we get to the first game,
- 1:11:39Speaker 7: when we get to October November, if you happen to
- 1:11:43Speaker 7: have puplewood strength, you're still going to have it then
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: based on he's not going to wear you out in
- 1:11:48Speaker 7: the preparation. Here's though, where let's call it the anti
- 1:11:53Speaker 7: fragility comes into play. He's going to require you to
- 1:12:00Speaker 7: be the best football player you can possibly be, right,
- 1:12:04Speaker 7: and the standard you're just gonna come in and you're
- 1:12:07Speaker 7: just you know, I gotta meet that stand. There's no
- 1:12:09Speaker 7: day off in terms of being now, there might be
- 1:12:12Speaker 7: a different way. We're gonna give you the day off today.
- 1:12:16Speaker 7: So Matthew Stafford's gonna take you whatever we're called day
- 1:12:19Speaker 7: one of the day one in the three off, but
- 1:12:22Speaker 7: on day two and four of their blocks, he's going
- 1:12:25Speaker 7: to require you to be your best, I think, and
- 1:12:29Speaker 7: if you're not, you're everyone's gonna feel it. So it's
- 1:12:32Speaker 7: almost like the standard is going to right keep people
- 1:12:36Speaker 7: a little bit on edge. I call it add the uncomfortability,
- 1:12:41Speaker 7: so that the games are more comfortable than the yes.
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: Add a little bit discomfort so when the lights are on,
- 1:12:46Speaker 5: you don't feel it as much as mothers might be
- 1:12:48Speaker 5: who have not felt discomfort before. Then Sean is We
- 1:12:52Speaker 5: were here a couple months ago and got to hang
- 1:12:53Speaker 5: out with Sean. Will Compton knows him very well from
- 1:12:56Speaker 5: his times of the team former known as the Washington Redskins.
- 1:12:59Speaker 5: I was kind of getting to know him for the
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: first time and kind of the bars he's laying down,
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: like the motivational speak that he was having, the one liners.
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, absolutely, I want to play for a
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: guy like this, The smiles infectious, the charisma's a top notch.
- 1:13:12Speaker 5: How do you do you play a ying to his
- 1:13:15Speaker 5: yang in a lot of way? Because we spend a
- 1:13:16Speaker 5: little bit of time together the last couple of years.
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: I'll see you at a college football game, We'll chop
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: it up for a little bit. You have a very
- 1:13:21Speaker 5: inviting personality, but when you at the GM and a
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: head coach, what seems like are like open willing to
- 1:13:27Speaker 5: have those conversations. How do you differentiate putting pressure on guys,
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: giving him a hug when they need it, and then
- 1:13:33Speaker 5: inevitably when things aren't good enough, like for a lot
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: of these guys, when we get to the end of August,
- 1:13:37Speaker 5: you're gonna have to make some hard decisions. How do
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: you kind of separate and make it where it's business,
- 1:13:42Speaker 5: but also we can have a relationship on top of that.
- 1:13:45Speaker 7: That's at the end of the day too. Sean and
- 1:13:48Speaker 7: I are two different people. And then yes there is
- 1:13:50Speaker 7: a yen and the yang. Yeah, hey, I always go
- 1:13:54Speaker 7: if we if we walk to a party, he's going
- 1:13:56Speaker 7: to be the life I'm not. I'm going to hang
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: out and you know I'll enjoy being his You sit in.
- 1:14:00Speaker 5: The shadows, a little bit of hanging out. You're more
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: there for the conversation.
- 1:14:04Speaker 7: I'll find someone interesting in a corner, we'll get away
- 1:14:07Speaker 7: from the loud music. We'll have a you know, nice
- 1:14:09Speaker 7: interesting conversation about that was one part of your I
- 1:14:13Speaker 7: think the part of your question about we have this saying,
- 1:14:17Speaker 7: and I know Sean has been a big part of it,
- 1:14:19Speaker 7: that you know it's we than me. We've said we's
- 1:14:22Speaker 7: greater than me. That the point being is this, we're
- 1:14:25Speaker 7: the Los Angeles Rams at some point the most important
- 1:14:29Speaker 7: thing we're gonna do, interestingly is is at at the
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: start play seventeen right games and they're going to keep score,
- 1:14:39Speaker 7: and whoever scores more points than the others is going
- 1:14:41Speaker 7: to have these standings. So the Los Angeles. So what
- 1:14:45Speaker 7: we always say in these even though Shawn's really really
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: good any any sincere at it connecting with people, getting
- 1:14:53Speaker 7: to know them, wanting to bring out the best of them,
- 1:14:57Speaker 7: wanting to be there for them when they're at their
- 1:15:02Speaker 7: lower moments or higher moments. But we often let hey,
- 1:15:06Speaker 7: the we than me right be the compass in those
- 1:15:10Speaker 7: hard decisions, because at the end of the day, we're
- 1:15:13Speaker 7: trying to put together right the best collective of humans. Possibly.
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: There's fifty three plus the sixteen on practic squad different
- 1:15:23Speaker 7: Each one brings a different expertise to different edge. You're
- 1:15:26Speaker 7: trying to blend it together. Sean and I often will
- 1:15:29Speaker 7: sit with a player for cutting you, damn and often
- 1:15:36Speaker 7: would say, Hey, not sure we're making the right decision. Here,
- 1:15:38Speaker 7: here's the why, here's our why. Could be wrong, but
- 1:15:44Speaker 7: we want you to know the why. You can kind
- 1:15:47Speaker 7: of take it from there and in where you go
- 1:15:50Speaker 7: from here, maybe apply it, not prove us wrong. All
- 1:15:53Speaker 7: those things. So those would be some of the more
- 1:15:55Speaker 7: tougher ones. Yeah, cutting someone like you, that would be
- 1:15:59Speaker 7: probably a surprise. Eyes unless you played till you were
- 1:16:02Speaker 7: like forty five, and at that point, hey, it's time
- 1:16:05Speaker 7: I get the walker out. We're going to get you
- 1:16:07Speaker 7: out of here, get you out. I know, you know
- 1:16:08Speaker 7: what the cool thing is if you play the forty five,
- 1:16:10Speaker 7: you probably don't believe you need a walker. That's probably
- 1:16:13Speaker 7: helped you get to forty five, But at some point
- 1:16:15Speaker 7: someone needs to tell you, you know what, duo is
- 1:16:19Speaker 7: no longer for you. Let's let's go to maybe podcasting.
- 1:16:24Speaker 7: Sit in a chair, comfortable chair. These are comfortable chairs too,
- 1:16:27Speaker 7: things like that. So, but that's kind of the I
- 1:16:30Speaker 7: would call this the we being the comp because the
- 1:16:33Speaker 7: most important thing is the team, and that's very That's
- 1:16:37Speaker 7: definitely some version of a paradox because at the end
- 1:16:40Speaker 7: of the day, we wouldn't have a team if it
- 1:16:42Speaker 7: wasn't for a lot of very competent, like exceptional young
- 1:16:48Speaker 7: men and even women in the organization, but for the
- 1:16:51Speaker 7: team young men. Yeah, So that's it's an interesting it's
- 1:16:54Speaker 7: always it's always if you're going to try to make
- 1:16:57Speaker 7: it personal or more personal, uh, that's always gonna be
- 1:17:03Speaker 7: the The hard part is those tough conversations, those conversations
- 1:17:07Speaker 7: where OG's there's some players you're gonna cut and you're
- 1:17:11Speaker 7: gonna have a pit in your stomach. I'm just being
- 1:17:13Speaker 7: real here. There will be some players you're gonna cut
- 1:17:15Speaker 7: and it will not be as hard a conversation.
- 1:17:18Speaker 5: Right, There's probably been a couple of players you've cut
- 1:17:20Speaker 5: a little smile as they walked out the door, like
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: thank God. A bad egg. There's always a bad egg.
- 1:17:27Speaker 7: You know that. You said it.
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: Yeah, you've been in a locker room. Oh yeah, I've
- 1:17:31Speaker 5: been in the locker room, and I've seen guys there's
- 1:17:34Speaker 5: we have a story one time where this is back
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: when they did I think the deuce to one cuts
- 1:17:38Speaker 5: now correct one f three, So this is back four
- 1:17:41Speaker 5: preseason games, third prison game, you get done a seventy
- 1:17:43Speaker 5: two and then those are the first cuts. The guys
- 1:17:45Speaker 5: you kind of knew from the get go weren't gonna
- 1:17:47Speaker 5: make it. We had a guy just trouble all the time,
- 1:17:50Speaker 5: late all the time. He gets cut when they drop
- 1:17:52Speaker 5: it down to seventy two. And the way he said
- 1:17:54Speaker 5: thank you for the opportunity was he went impede on
- 1:17:57Speaker 5: the sun of rocks and you and turned it on
- 1:18:00Speaker 5: and the whole like the sauna was right next to
- 1:18:02Speaker 5: a locker room, so it all just smelled like hot
- 1:18:05Speaker 5: piss as soon as you walked in that day. And
- 1:18:08Speaker 5: they got him out of there at six am. So
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: there's always gonna be theah.
- 1:18:13Speaker 7: Here's an interesting thing on the Wii. We often say
- 1:18:15Speaker 7: it now again, it would be hard if you were playing,
- 1:18:17Speaker 7: Hey Taylor, should we cut this guy or not? You're
- 1:18:20Speaker 7: probably not gonna sell your teammate down, But we always
- 1:18:24Speaker 7: try to guesstimate in some way, Hey does does his
- 1:18:30Speaker 7: teammates want him on the team or not. Right, You're
- 1:18:33Speaker 7: always trying to because usually y'all know, like you're sitting
- 1:18:37Speaker 7: in there going and sometimes it might be, man, I
- 1:18:40Speaker 7: can't believe they kept him. Sometimes, all right, the only
- 1:18:43Speaker 7: reason they kept him because they drafted him in the
- 1:18:44Speaker 7: second round. But we all know this guy, you know
- 1:18:46Speaker 7: what they just missed. At least at this point in time.
- 1:18:49Speaker 7: It's a miss. Maybe you draft in the second round
- 1:18:51Speaker 7: that protects him, gives him, but I'm sure that I do.
- 1:18:56Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure that talk goes, yeah, why do we
- 1:18:58Speaker 7: keep him? Why do we pay? Especially when you pay
- 1:19:00Speaker 7: money to if you pay and you're like, wait a minute,
- 1:19:03Speaker 7: he's getting.
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: How was this guy getting that much money? When X, Y,
- 1:19:06Speaker 5: and Z and you kind of see like ause, you'll
- 1:19:07Speaker 5: watch the meeting rooms and a lot of guys will
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: get a lot of criticism pointed towards their way, and
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: then you look three months later and they're signing, you know,
- 1:19:14Speaker 5: the biggest contract in whatever. You're like, well, I thought
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: there was a lot of issues here. But I think
- 1:19:19Speaker 5: that's also good cultures when you get those small groups
- 1:19:22Speaker 5: that are like why are we doing this? The more
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: you can get rid of guys kind of talking shit.
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: You know, in small groups, the better your culture is
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: going to be. But when it comes to picks, fuck
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: them picks a right, some of them right. So yeah,
- 1:19:36Speaker 5: just the top thirty two. I would say the Rams
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: are kind of like we're gonna after the Jared Goff.
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: Would you guys do the opposite right? Trade it up?
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: Got the first overall pick was that that was from
- 1:19:45Speaker 5: the Titans.
- 1:19:46Speaker 7: Yes, Titans, from the Titans.
- 1:19:47Speaker 5: Which, by the way, you saved my ass that year.
- 1:19:51Speaker 5: You I want you to know like you you saved
- 1:19:53Speaker 5: my ass that that was my second year. I will
- 1:19:57Speaker 5: so this is after my second year. First year was
- 1:20:00Speaker 5: all rookie team had a great year. Second year we
- 1:20:01Speaker 5: went three and thirteen, and there was a lot of
- 1:20:04Speaker 5: the conversation was around, hey, we need more help from
- 1:20:08Speaker 5: Marcus Marioto. We just got him in the draft. We
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: have the first overall pick. Let's take Taylor, move him
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: to right. And then there's this cat named Laramie Tunsel.
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: Let's take him at the first overall pick at this time.
- 1:20:19Speaker 5: And I'm a one trick pony. When I was playing
- 1:20:22Speaker 5: like I could play no, the only position I could
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: play was left tackle. That is literally it. So John
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: Robinson he became the GM. I walk into his office
- 1:20:30Speaker 5: the first time I'm meeting him. I've been training, I
- 1:20:33Speaker 5: was over in Exos and Carlsbad come back. I'm in
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: great shape, and he like sits me down and he's like, hey,
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: how do you feel about what people are saying about
- 1:20:39Speaker 5: this first pick? And I have this long, elaborate speech about, yeah,
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: that's great, you can you can put a first round
- 1:20:46Speaker 5: pick on a tackle, but that's a lot of money
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: to play for a right time because I'm a left tackle.
- 1:20:50Speaker 5: And then I went out and kind of into the
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: OTA process and we had a good relationship and I
- 1:20:55Speaker 5: talked to him a lot about it, and they ended
- 1:20:56Speaker 5: up trading that pick away. To you guys, well years
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: were thirteen that year thirteen one to fourteen, and then
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: they traded up to eight.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: OK.
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: So all that to be said, you kind of saved
- 1:21:05Speaker 5: my career by trading up and getting Jared Goff. But
- 1:21:08Speaker 5: this is not about me, not about you. You don't
- 1:21:10Speaker 5: feel context.
- 1:21:11Speaker 7: The butterfly flapped his wing.
- 1:21:13Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, butterfly fat never Knowcher, that's a phenomenal movie.
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: Have you seen that movie? Haven't seen it, dude, But
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: I get's a phenomenal movie, right.
- 1:21:21Speaker 7: Mythology though, Oh yeah you know that butterfly you know
- 1:21:24Speaker 7: ye yeah, we trade up.
- 1:21:25Speaker 5: Our butterflies work together right there.
- 1:21:27Speaker 7: The interesting thing it would have been if Tennessee would
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: have done like some teams did when the video of
- 1:21:33Speaker 7: Larry Come, Larry Meet comes out right before the draft
- 1:21:37Speaker 7: memory was in the gas mask, Yeah, falls.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: A little bit.
- 1:21:40Speaker 7: Been interesting if how that would have played.
- 1:21:43Speaker 5: Here's the here's hey, but you're absolutely because I'm sitting
- 1:21:46Speaker 5: there with my wife, who I literally just met. We
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: engaged in five weeks, married in two months, so they
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: just met her. We're fingure each other out. We're at
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: thirteen and the gas mask video comes out, so he
- 1:21:57Speaker 5: starts falling in the draft and I'm like, oh my god.
- 1:22:00Speaker 5: Titans traded up to A and Laramie was still on
- 1:22:03Speaker 5: the board and took Jack Conklin, who ended up being
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: the right tackle, right to us. But I was like
- 1:22:08Speaker 5: kind of stressing, like, oh my god, they're still going
- 1:22:10Speaker 5: to get him. They're still gonna get him because he's
- 1:22:13Speaker 5: got the strongest lungs in all the NFL, Like they
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: obviously see something.
- 1:22:16Speaker 7: It would have been an interesting question for you. Yeah,
- 1:22:18Speaker 7: as a player, let's say you and I get because
- 1:22:20Speaker 7: you're in second year. Let's say that you'd already earned
- 1:22:23Speaker 7: a second contract. Uh huh, And now they come to
- 1:22:28Speaker 7: you and go, hey, we'd like to move you to
- 1:22:30Speaker 7: from left or right. We have this rookie we want
- 1:22:34Speaker 7: to play at left. Would would would having earned a
- 1:22:39Speaker 7: second contract already because in those days like, oh, if
- 1:22:42Speaker 7: you play left, you're gonna make more. Nowadays, nowadays, good
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: off like.
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: Lane Johnson is one of the best tackles in the game,
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: regardless of hes playing the right.
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: On the road.
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: We've also I've also had the conversation with with It's
- 1:22:52Speaker 7: interesting when we had Aaron Kromer who was an offensive
- 1:22:57Speaker 7: line coach force and it would be if if you
- 1:23:00Speaker 7: came to the Rams, it would be your worst experience ever,
- 1:23:04Speaker 7: especially in OTAs, because he would just play you everywhere
- 1:23:09Speaker 7: like you might be starting left tackle. He probably didn't
- 1:23:14Speaker 7: do it to the start as much, but he did
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: like to just test you and on this random ota
- 1:23:18Speaker 7: you're going to play right guard. We may need you
- 1:23:20Speaker 7: to play right guard our back And it's like, but
- 1:23:23Speaker 7: if you were like a rookie, you were just playing
- 1:23:26Speaker 7: up and down the over and it was very, very
- 1:23:29Speaker 7: But I can't say this. The players that were able
- 1:23:32Speaker 7: to weather that right, they carved out probably probably relatively
- 1:23:37Speaker 7: solid backup careers because they could they could play anywhere
- 1:23:41Speaker 7: in a spoted moment. But WD always said that is
- 1:23:44Speaker 7: the hardest thing. Oh yeah, based on the how your body,
- 1:23:47Speaker 7: the whole Your body's just used to setting one way
- 1:23:50Speaker 7: and now you've got to go set, stance, the whole thing,
- 1:23:53Speaker 7: the body mechanics of it all.
- 1:23:54Speaker 5: I'm in the same camp as when it comes to
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: it's like like I'm left handed, so I read on
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: my left hand and if you really, hey Taylor, you
- 1:24:01Speaker 5: have to write an essay with your right hand. That's
- 1:24:03Speaker 5: essentially how it would feel for me to go play
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: right tackle. Some guys are phenomenal just switching the legs
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: and going back and forth, and all the power to them.
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: There's also the phrase in the NFL, the more you
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: can do, the less you get paid when it comes
- 1:24:13Speaker 5: to the offensive line, because you want to just specialize
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: in one little area. But to answer your question, if
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: I'm in a second contract and they're like, hey, we
- 1:24:21Speaker 5: got this young buck coming in, I think this happened
- 1:24:23Speaker 5: with David Botiari when he got drafted by the Packers.
- 1:24:25Speaker 5: With bloga Is, Bologo was playing left, then they moved
- 1:24:29Speaker 5: him to right and Batyer played. I was in the
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: strong in the camp of I am not a good
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: football player if I'm not playing left tackle. Because I
- 1:24:38Speaker 5: in my rookie season, Bob Bostad, who is my offensive
- 1:24:40Speaker 5: line coach who's now with the Hoosiers, he had me
- 1:24:44Speaker 5: left tackle, guard, right guard, right tackle all camp because
- 1:24:47Speaker 5: they had Michael Orr and Michael Ruse, two veteran guys,
- 1:24:51Speaker 5: the whole thing, and I kind of came in. I
- 1:24:52Speaker 5: remember sitting there in the first couple of games of
- 1:24:54Speaker 5: the season, not playing, praying to myself, like I don't
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: want anybody to get hurt, but if somebody's gonna go down,
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: please God making me Michael Ruse because he's playing left
- 1:25:02Speaker 5: tackles and my career is going to end very quickly.
- 1:25:04Speaker 7: If playing around only person rooting for Michael well not rooting,
- 1:25:09Speaker 7: I don't want to go there.
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: Yeah, but if it had to.
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: Get an opportunity, yeah, I got to get an opportunity.
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: He was ten year vet, and you know it was
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: a very unique relationship. But for me, I would it
- 1:25:19Speaker 5: would have been I would have sat in your office
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: and been like, I'm playing a left tackle or I
- 1:25:22Speaker 5: need to be traded. It would be I don't know
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: if to be that blunt. I don't know if I
- 1:25:25Speaker 5: had the stones to do that. But that's kind of
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: just where like I was so confident in my skill
- 1:25:30Speaker 5: set from one spot and so not confident in another
- 1:25:33Speaker 5: that to me, it would be career suicide. Right, I'll
- 1:25:35Speaker 5: get it. I'll get out of the whole entire thing.
- 1:25:38Speaker 5: But you bring up tackles, do you like I? Obviously
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: you and Aaron Donald play have a special relationship.
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:25:46Speaker 5: Do you think Aaron Donald enough for covering up the
- 1:25:50Speaker 5: Greg Robinson pick in twenty fourteen?
- 1:25:54Speaker 7: That helped?
- 1:25:55Speaker 5: That helped? I only asked that question because that I
- 1:25:59Speaker 5: was in that draft.
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: Interest thing is, as we talked, we were talking got
- 1:26:02Speaker 7: to be able to give yourself a C minus.
- 1:26:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: I do think probably learned a lot from the Aaron
- 1:26:09Speaker 7: Donald pick. And one of the things you do learn
- 1:26:12Speaker 7: is it seems like a no brainer now, but coming out,
- 1:26:16Speaker 7: Aaron's an undersized, shorter, shorter arm. You know there there
- 1:26:20Speaker 7: he felled a thirteen kind of for me. Everybody's I'm
- 1:26:22Speaker 7: not sure he's is he big or tall enough? The
- 1:26:24Speaker 7: whole heightweight length thing. So you learn that. I think
- 1:26:30Speaker 7: coach Landry Tom Landry Dallas Cowboys had often said or
- 1:26:34Speaker 7: had this saying never was a rounding, but but people
- 1:26:37Speaker 7: I had worked under that had been a part of
- 1:26:40Speaker 7: He had this saying or maybe rule of thumb, if
- 1:26:44Speaker 7: you take too many exceptions, you'll end up with a
- 1:26:49Speaker 7: team full of exceptions, which obviously in his rule thumb
- 1:26:54Speaker 7: was a negative. But in Aaron's case, he is an exception.
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: I took the little step further, like, okay, exception if
- 1:27:02Speaker 7: you go back and probably figure out the work exceptional, right,
- 1:27:05Speaker 7: that's that's so okay, you it's okay. Maybe to have
- 1:27:08Speaker 7: a team full of exceptionals. Maybe we should just go
- 1:27:11Speaker 7: with a team full of Aaron Donalds even though so
- 1:27:14Speaker 7: that's you learned there. But going back to the Greg Robinson,
- 1:27:17Speaker 7: I do think as a general manager, and and especially
- 1:27:22Speaker 7: as as as I've been able to stay around, have
- 1:27:27Speaker 7: some longevity and take the ego out of it, be
- 1:27:32Speaker 7: okay talking about it, you probably have learned more from
- 1:27:37Speaker 7: missing on that pick. I mean, you think about that pick.
- 1:27:40Speaker 7: You know how bad that pick was. And and here's
- 1:27:43Speaker 7: what I hate to do. Greg is a Greg was
- 1:27:47Speaker 7: a very sweet human being.
- 1:27:48Speaker 5: So I.
- 1:27:50Speaker 7: Maybe not necessarily ready to be the two overall pick
- 1:27:53Speaker 7: and things like that, but but that two overall there,
- 1:27:58Speaker 7: I mean we're talking, we're talking. There's I truly think
- 1:28:02Speaker 7: there's you could have easily just thrown a dark I
- 1:28:05Speaker 7: mean we got Khalil Max. That was a year all
- 1:28:08Speaker 7: the receivers. Yeah, we got Sam Bradford at QB. And
- 1:28:13Speaker 7: again one of the reasons to pick Greg was the
- 1:28:16Speaker 7: protect Sam. But I mean just think most most people
- 1:28:22Speaker 7: would have said, oh, you got a really you got
- 1:28:24Speaker 7: a possible franchise QB that you're trying to get there,
- 1:28:28Speaker 7: get him one of these receivers. Get em. Mike Evans, Yeah,
- 1:28:31Speaker 7: you can't go wrong. Just throw it up, might catch
- 1:28:33Speaker 7: so that that's the internet. But you I can't say this,
- 1:28:36Speaker 7: probably learned a lot from that. But yes, you're right
- 1:28:40Speaker 7: in that. We had someone on our staff. His name
- 1:28:44Speaker 7: is J. W. Jordan. Now he's with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 1:28:47Speaker 7: Had come from Indianapolis with Bill Pollium and we had
- 1:28:51Speaker 7: two first rounders that year and they're pretty good ones
- 1:28:53Speaker 7: second overall thirteen, and it was like, okay, can we
- 1:28:57Speaker 7: be like the Ravens and hey, they went maybe Ogden
- 1:29:01Speaker 7: ray Lewis. Can you pick two Hall of Famers in
- 1:29:05Speaker 7: one draft? Yeah, that would have been, looking back, a
- 1:29:10Speaker 7: pretty easy draft to pick two Hall of Famers with
- 1:29:13Speaker 7: those two picks. Yeah, we're gonna get one that helps,
- 1:29:17Speaker 7: but that would have been as easy a draft to
- 1:29:19Speaker 7: pick two Hall of Famers with two Yeah.
- 1:29:21Speaker 5: I don't there was one. I don't ask that question.
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: The onlyas why I brought it up. I was the
- 1:29:24Speaker 5: fourteen draft and it was me, Greg and Jake were
- 1:29:27Speaker 5: like the three tackles that people were talking about that time.
- 1:29:30Speaker 5: But for you, I can't imagine the position it puts
- 1:29:32Speaker 5: you in when it didn't work out, because I didn't
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: know Greg very well, but I was around Greg enough
- 1:29:39Speaker 5: to be like, oh, this kid's a specimen. And he
- 1:29:41Speaker 5: was three point thirty, he ran sub five, he could
- 1:29:44Speaker 5: jump out of the gym. His broad he like his
- 1:29:47Speaker 5: he measured incredible, and so it's like, it's so it's
- 1:29:51Speaker 5: gotta be hard to be like, how does this guy
- 1:29:54Speaker 5: not put it together? And I know he's a great guy,
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: and know there's a lot of stuff that happened off
- 1:29:57Speaker 5: the field and all those things, But it just seems
- 1:29:59Speaker 5: like he seemed like a lock of all the guys
- 1:30:02Speaker 5: like Aaron Donald was kind of the risk, right, and.
- 1:30:04Speaker 7: You say he's a lock in The interesting thing is
- 1:30:08Speaker 7: a lot of times to keep it simple. When I've
- 1:30:10Speaker 7: chatted away, let's just find someone to get in away
- 1:30:12Speaker 7: and stay in the way. Yeah, right, and that's simple, right,
- 1:30:14Speaker 7: you get now, Sometimes I says, oh, well, the hardest
- 1:30:17Speaker 7: thing to do is be able to get in the way,
- 1:30:18Speaker 7: because that's an element. You got to know the intent
- 1:30:21Speaker 7: of the play. You got to know where your help's at.
- 1:30:23Speaker 7: You got to know the steps to take based on
- 1:30:25Speaker 7: the physics and geometry, like how do I get in position?
- 1:30:28Speaker 7: And then then you got to just be able to
- 1:30:30Speaker 7: stay in the way. And a lot of times, if
- 1:30:32Speaker 7: you're right, if you get to that point, if you're tough, gritty, savvy,
- 1:30:36Speaker 7: you're gonna find a way to right just I mean,
- 1:30:40Speaker 7: I call it just set a pick per se. Yeah,
- 1:30:42Speaker 7: you know what I mean. But interesting with with with
- 1:30:45Speaker 7: great take all of that out, there were some inconsistencies
- 1:30:48Speaker 7: with staying in the way, look beautiful, staying out of
- 1:30:52Speaker 7: the way. But I always say this a lot of
- 1:30:56Speaker 7: times when you would fall back in love with Greg
- 1:30:58Speaker 7: and this is something to learn, and when you're picking
- 1:31:01Speaker 7: two overall, I call it the curse of the Probably
- 1:31:03Speaker 7: the I used to say the curse of the top
- 1:31:05Speaker 7: ten could be curse of the top five. You're looking
- 1:31:07Speaker 7: for that freak and a lot of times you you
- 1:31:11Speaker 7: forget that. Oh, by the way we played football, because
- 1:31:14Speaker 7: you might go work out Greg, working him out all that.
- 1:31:17Speaker 7: I mean, he's going to do backflips, he's going to
- 1:31:19Speaker 7: do backhand springs. We'd have played basketball, he probably would
- 1:31:22Speaker 7: have dunked all those things. But there was that element
- 1:31:25Speaker 7: of Okay, hadn't totally learned, wasn't as refined as you
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: are in that case? You know, Jake and we could
- 1:31:35Speaker 7: have in the and and then and a lot of times.
- 1:31:37Speaker 7: I think the the interesting one was Zach Martin too
- 1:31:39Speaker 7: was in the draft. Yeah he hadn't moving the guard,
- 1:31:41Speaker 7: but the Hall of Fame guard. We probably could have
- 1:31:43Speaker 7: traded back in that draft, because we talked about that
- 1:31:46Speaker 7: as a scenario, Hey, why don't we trade back? We
- 1:31:52Speaker 7: could Uh, we preferred ol over wide receiver as an organization,
- 1:31:58Speaker 7: but we could have traded back, right, and if let's
- 1:32:00Speaker 7: just say we liked you three at this, let's say
- 1:32:03Speaker 7: we stacked you one, two and three, however we did it. Yeah,
- 1:32:07Speaker 7: but it's still not like it's it's you're still starters.
- 1:32:11Speaker 7: So let's hey, let's just crady back, get more picks.
- 1:32:14Speaker 7: Pick one of the starters. Who's left right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:32:17Speaker 7: you're not gonna you don't none of us know who's
- 1:32:19Speaker 7: gonna be better. So there's so many lessons in that
- 1:32:22Speaker 7: in that draft, no doubt or picking picking great.
- 1:32:25Speaker 5: Yeah, and but I love like the kind of kind
- 1:32:27Speaker 5: of sense goff has taken place. You guys have now
- 1:32:30Speaker 5: made a habit of like first round picks, like you
- 1:32:32Speaker 5: guys are just consistently giving those away for commodities in
- 1:32:36Speaker 5: the NFL that are already proven, Like we know this
- 1:32:38Speaker 5: guy can play on Sundays. There's no guessing game of development,
- 1:32:41Speaker 5: how mature this kid is. He's gonna be able to
- 1:32:43Speaker 5: come along with the speeded game in his first year
- 1:32:45Speaker 5: like you're getting, guys. McDuffie's a great example. Wit was
- 1:32:48Speaker 5: another example that you've just barred in so many people, obviously,
- 1:32:51Speaker 5: Miles Garrett, when did that become When did you think
- 1:32:54Speaker 5: you had the luxury to do that, because so many
- 1:32:56Speaker 5: teams look at like, oh, we're gonna build through the
- 1:33:00Speaker 5: draft and kind of do some patchwork in free agency
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: where you kind of flipped it and it's been very
- 1:33:04Speaker 5: successful for you. But where did you feel like you
- 1:33:07Speaker 5: can make that transition as a GM to kind of
- 1:33:10Speaker 5: be like, all right, we're gonna go more proven commodity
- 1:33:12Speaker 5: over long term. We'll have this guy for the next
- 1:33:14Speaker 5: ten years hopefully.
- 1:33:15Speaker 7: So let's I'll try to put tide all together, keep
- 1:33:19Speaker 7: it simple, kind of interesting. Let's take hiring Sean the
- 1:33:23Speaker 7: day we hire Shawn. He's thirty years old, Like, that's
- 1:33:27Speaker 7: probably not the time to do it. We haven't had
- 1:33:29Speaker 7: a youngest coach and youngest coach. So number one is, Okay,
- 1:33:32Speaker 7: we're going to hire Sean, We're going to build, and
- 1:33:35Speaker 7: then most teams try to build woll and then the
- 1:33:38Speaker 7: next step is breaking through. Well, we broke through his
- 1:33:42Speaker 7: first year, I mean twenty seventeen and Sean and not
- 1:33:45Speaker 7: talking a lot of times that was his that was
- 1:33:47Speaker 7: his really first time with the RANT. People really didn't
- 1:33:50Speaker 7: know exactly what that was. One of our better teams
- 1:33:53Speaker 7: got to the playoffs, lost, lost to the Falcons in
- 1:33:55Speaker 7: a wild card, had some turnovers, but it was one
- 1:33:58Speaker 7: of those teams like we were dangerous because no one
- 1:34:01Speaker 7: had really figured us out. So point being is a
- 1:34:03Speaker 7: team's got to build, You got to break through. You
- 1:34:06Speaker 7: you see in sports when the team breaks through, they
- 1:34:09Speaker 7: kind of have that Cinderella season, right you could you
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: just have a good year. You've been losing, we won
- 1:34:15Speaker 7: the division, you put the hats on going to losing
- 1:34:18Speaker 7: the wildcard round. You're still like, you're still happy at
- 1:34:22Speaker 7: the end of the year, even though you lost in
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: the playoffs. That lost driving home from the coliseum that night, Yes,
- 1:34:27Speaker 7: that stings, that hurts. But the macro level, macro level year, Okay,
- 1:34:32Speaker 7: this is under real. Now the key goes in. I
- 1:34:34Speaker 7: call it some version of are you now going to
- 1:34:36Speaker 7: become a contender? Are you going to do this another year?
- 1:34:40Speaker 7: And another year? And then if you are that team?
- 1:34:45Speaker 7: I call it the the Peyton Manning career. Enjoy getting
- 1:34:50Speaker 7: to know you know Peyton over these years, especially going
- 1:34:53Speaker 7: down to his camp. But remember when I mean take
- 1:34:56Speaker 7: Peyton's rookie year out. Remember there was a time when
- 1:34:58Speaker 7: is Peyton gonna ever win a playoff game, and then
- 1:35:01Speaker 7: now he wins a playoff game, and then it's like
- 1:35:05Speaker 7: the automatic is he ever? Then? Is he ever going
- 1:35:07Speaker 7: to win a Super Bowl? And then you get that,
- 1:35:10Speaker 7: and then it's like, Okay, is he ever gonna win
- 1:35:11Speaker 7: a second Super Bowl?
- 1:35:12Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:35:13Speaker 7: Once the more levels of the video game go up,
- 1:35:15Speaker 7: there's the expectations. What I'm trying to paint here is
- 1:35:19Speaker 7: to get to that faith, there has to be efficacy.
- 1:35:22Speaker 7: You have to have proven that, Oh, by the way,
- 1:35:24Speaker 7: not only can are you a breakthrough team, but you
- 1:35:27Speaker 7: can somewhat contend. Now what happens is and I'm not
- 1:35:31Speaker 7: saying this was like an epiphany overnight, some combination of
- 1:35:35Speaker 7: understanding where you're like, Wow, we're only going to have
- 1:35:39Speaker 7: this core right together. You know, we may can win
- 1:35:47Speaker 7: consistently for thirty years straight, but the core right, the players,
- 1:35:52Speaker 7: the names of the players, the individuals, the people are
- 1:35:54Speaker 7: going to change over three So this core that right
- 1:35:58Speaker 7: now is in flow. Wow, we how do we make
- 1:36:01Speaker 7: the most of it? Do you now? What happens then
- 1:36:04Speaker 7: is the other part of that equation is if you're winning,
- 1:36:06Speaker 7: you're picking later in the draft. So even if you're
- 1:36:09Speaker 7: going to pick a first rounder. You're usually going to
- 1:36:12Speaker 7: be asking that first rounder to come in and play
- 1:36:14Speaker 7: an important part. But remember that core team that's kind
- 1:36:19Speaker 7: of ready to go right, do meaningful things. They're kind
- 1:36:22Speaker 7: of in their prime. And now you're bringing in this
- 1:36:26Speaker 7: rookie that, Okay, may or may not be able to contriot,
- 1:36:30Speaker 7: may not be quite where there are there's but may
- 1:36:33Speaker 7: be able to fit right in smooth.
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: You just never know.
- 1:36:36Speaker 7: So let's take like in this year's McDuffie down the stretch,
- 1:36:42Speaker 7: it was it was kind of obvious we needed to
- 1:36:45Speaker 7: we need to do something with our cornerbacks, either the
- 1:36:49Speaker 7: guys we had, we need to get better from within,
- 1:36:52Speaker 7: whatever it was going to be.
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: We didn't. We couldn't come.
- 1:36:55Speaker 7: Into twenty six and play like we did last year.
- 1:36:58Speaker 7: So end of the day, do we wait and use
- 1:37:00Speaker 7: that some of those you know that twenty nine pick
- 1:37:02Speaker 7: on a rookie or do wow, there's Trent McDuffie. Okay,
- 1:37:06Speaker 7: we're a team. We've got this core, Matthew, the whole,
- 1:37:10Speaker 7: the whole group. It's it's it's ready to kind of
- 1:37:12Speaker 7: go chase special, chase meaningful, Uh whatever that is. Okay,
- 1:37:18Speaker 7: why not add someone who right is in his prime proven,
- 1:37:23Speaker 7: there's no there's no getting there to be done.
- 1:37:26Speaker 5: Right, we have the product.
- 1:37:28Speaker 7: There is an element where you're gonna you're gonna short
- 1:37:31Speaker 7: your future a bit, uh, and so you're always gonna
- 1:37:36Speaker 7: have to tackle that problem. But what what what we
- 1:37:39Speaker 7: find too in sports is hey, when this core kind
- 1:37:43Speaker 7: of ages out, you're still gonna have to attack your
- 1:37:46Speaker 7: future and it's still an unknown and an uncertainty and
- 1:37:50Speaker 7: you got to figure out ways to do that. So
- 1:37:52Speaker 7: that's kind of what we've done with that. Because when
- 1:37:54Speaker 7: you're picking late in a draft, righty, Hey, you can
- 1:38:00Speaker 7: be picking twenty ninth somewhere between one and thirty two.
- 1:38:03Speaker 7: One team's gonna get Miles Garrett, and one team's gonna
- 1:38:07Speaker 7: get you know, the thirtieth pick and the thirtieth pick.
- 1:38:10Speaker 7: A lot of them work out, but maybe they're not
- 1:38:13Speaker 7: necessarily Miles get Yeah, So that's you see the logic,
- 1:38:17Speaker 7: that's kind of how it was all.
- 1:38:19Speaker 5: Right if you were picking in that top ten to
- 1:38:21Speaker 5: top fifteen, it's like there's more more advantageous for you
- 1:38:24Speaker 5: guys to sit in that spot and find a guy
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: for the future, as opposed to the back half of
- 1:38:27Speaker 5: the first when there's probably more equity there to be
- 1:38:30Speaker 5: able to get a player and pick in the second round,
- 1:38:32Speaker 5: which is you know, four picks away essentially, and.
- 1:38:36Speaker 7: A lot of times too when we when we didn't
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: trade that first round pick four player, that's why we
- 1:38:41Speaker 7: would trade back into the second because you're picking late
- 1:38:43Speaker 7: first and we're like, okay, let's trade back into the second.
- 1:38:46Speaker 7: You're going to get a similar player in terms of
- 1:38:49Speaker 7: let's just say for the most part subjectively, but for
- 1:38:52Speaker 7: the most part, similar player in terms of ability and
- 1:38:55Speaker 7: acumen late first, you know, early to mid second, but
- 1:38:59Speaker 7: you also at a at a third round or in
- 1:39:02Speaker 7: the fifth, and you get to two other players later. Yeah,
- 1:39:05Speaker 7: for that same So that's one of the reasons we've
- 1:39:07Speaker 7: kind of taken that approach. Hey's got to be you
- 1:39:11Speaker 7: need you need to have efficacy that you're ready to
- 1:39:13Speaker 7: go fight for, right.
- 1:39:15Speaker 5: But yeah, so I've been in both those types of
- 1:39:17Speaker 5: locker rooms and I'm you you absolutely have as well
- 1:39:19Speaker 5: as like a team that has hope and building and
- 1:39:22Speaker 5: hoping to get culture wins and like, hey, hopefully we
- 1:39:24Speaker 5: can take that next step this year, as opposed to
- 1:39:26Speaker 5: being a team that truly believes in your head, we
- 1:39:29Speaker 5: could actually go win it all. And I was on
- 1:39:31Speaker 5: a team for I think two years where I was like,
- 1:39:33Speaker 5: you kind of go into camp and there's a different
- 1:39:35Speaker 5: vibe about camp where it's like, yeah, we're attacking the process,
- 1:39:39Speaker 5: we're attacking the work ethic, but we know like the
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: the end goal is actually a reality as opposed to
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: you kind of know like you're gonna have to get
- 1:39:48Speaker 5: real lucky to even put yourself in the playoffs. In
- 1:39:50Speaker 5: some senses, do you can you notice that as a
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: GM the way guys are kind of operating.
- 1:39:54Speaker 7: Yeah, because there's an element you're riding. I always say,
- 1:39:56Speaker 7: you're on the bus going to the game, and there's
- 1:39:59Speaker 7: maybe it's a team that's building and let's say it
- 1:40:01Speaker 7: had some moment you're hoping there's that. And then there's
- 1:40:05Speaker 7: a team that gets on the bus and and they're
- 1:40:07Speaker 7: actually on that bus going to win that game. Now
- 1:40:11Speaker 7: the game hasn't started, there's uncertainty, the other team has
- 1:40:15Speaker 7: a say, but there you can hey, O, our human
- 1:40:19Speaker 7: bodies they're there. They contain a lot of energy. And
- 1:40:23Speaker 7: when you're on those buses and however many three four
- 1:40:27Speaker 7: that takes a football team to a stadium, the teams
- 1:40:31Speaker 7: that know they're competent. You can just feel the energy
- 1:40:36Speaker 7: they're on that bus. It's business like, we're going to
- 1:40:38Speaker 7: win this game. Doesn't mean they're gonna win it. Not
- 1:40:40Speaker 7: many teams go undefeated. There's gonna be a low but
- 1:40:43Speaker 7: those teams get on the bus, they know they're going
- 1:40:45Speaker 7: to win that.
- 1:40:45Speaker 5: Game, right and even if they do fall in that game,
- 1:40:47Speaker 5: you know they we have the leadership in that room.
- 1:40:49Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's a bus ride back to the airport.
- 1:40:51Speaker 7: For the quiet flight back, there's that element of you
- 1:40:54Speaker 7: just get that sense that okay, next week can't get
- 1:40:58Speaker 7: here fast enough.
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:41:00Speaker 7: Right, And you've seen that, and you've been on that team,
- 1:41:02Speaker 7: and I've been on them and managed, and those are
- 1:41:04Speaker 7: cool moments and it's almost like you go back to
- 1:41:06Speaker 7: the pressures or the emotions I would all where you're like, wow,
- 1:41:10Speaker 7: you go and you upset that that really good team
- 1:41:14Speaker 7: for the first time and it's like week six, but boy,
- 1:41:18Speaker 7: the flight home is almost like we you know, we
- 1:41:21Speaker 7: want a big playoff. Yeah, it's like there's a cell.
- 1:41:24Speaker 7: It's like that's not the end of the season, but
- 1:41:26Speaker 7: right those it's two different phases of being a part
- 1:41:31Speaker 7: of sports.
- 1:41:32Speaker 5: Now what's one thing that you've learned And I mean
- 1:41:35Speaker 5: you've been here since twenty two and twelve, correct, yes,
- 1:41:38Speaker 5: since so you've been able to learn and process and
- 1:41:40Speaker 5: observe players' attitudes when you know when you're in a
- 1:41:44Speaker 5: good spot. What's one thing you've learned since twenty twelve
- 1:41:46Speaker 5: where you can kind of watch your team be like, Okay,
- 1:41:48Speaker 5: we're in a good position to play today. We are
- 1:41:49Speaker 5: some signs of that, and then on the other side,
- 1:41:52Speaker 5: we're like, I don't know if these guys are as
- 1:41:54Speaker 5: dialed in as they want to be, because I think,
- 1:41:57Speaker 5: like Mike Rabel, he was a coach that I thought
- 1:41:59Speaker 5: I did a really good job of like understanding by
- 1:42:01Speaker 5: Wednesday where we were, and he would kind of call
- 1:42:03Speaker 5: it out on Thursday, like, you guys, listen, we can't
- 1:42:05Speaker 5: just show up in uniforms and win. And he would
- 1:42:08Speaker 5: kind of write the ship that way, like how did
- 1:42:10Speaker 5: are there certain specific things you can observe as a
- 1:42:12Speaker 5: GM while watching practice being like, oh, these guys are
- 1:42:14Speaker 5: dialed as opposed to not.
- 1:42:17Speaker 7: It's probably not off of one practice. It's probably from
- 1:42:20Speaker 7: the start of training camp throughout, you know, right, how
- 1:42:24Speaker 7: precise It's probably not one practice, because I've been a
- 1:42:29Speaker 7: part of teams where while the the Thursday or Friday
- 1:42:33Speaker 7: practice was a debacle and you end up going in
- 1:42:36Speaker 7: and having a good game. That could be the doldrums
- 1:42:38Speaker 7: of the season and you're you're in in November. But
- 1:42:41Speaker 7: there there is often there is often a vibe, there
- 1:42:45Speaker 7: is some version of an energy where you where you
- 1:42:49Speaker 7: know the two examples I'll giving it might it probably
- 1:42:52Speaker 7: doesn't answer your question, but at least it's an interesting answer.
- 1:42:55Speaker 7: Is is when we traded for Matthew Stafford and we
- 1:43:00Speaker 7: were we were down in Irvine, which is south of here,
- 1:43:05Speaker 7: Orange County, so cal Ravine instead of Loyal in Mayormount,
- 1:43:09Speaker 7: but there were it was like we couldn't we didn't
- 1:43:13Speaker 7: throw an incomplete path. There was this buzz about Matthew.
- 1:43:17Speaker 7: There's a lot of pressure on Matthew. We just traded
- 1:43:19Speaker 7: Jared Golf and two ones for Matthew and for really
- 1:43:22Speaker 7: only one reason, right, It's not you know, it's like, okay,
- 1:43:25Speaker 7: let's let's go do something meaningful, yeah, or more meaningful
- 1:43:30Speaker 7: than we had and you just okay, here's what you
- 1:43:34Speaker 7: did know, Wow, we're gonna be pretty good on offense
- 1:43:40Speaker 7: Like this is this is We're really precise, he's lighting
- 1:43:45Speaker 7: it up works, and then all of a sudden people
- 1:43:48Speaker 7: are looking and the teammates are like, okay, this is
- 1:43:51Speaker 7: this is different and there's this confidence building. Interestingly though,
- 1:43:55Speaker 7: it is interesting until you go play that first game,
- 1:43:58Speaker 7: like you're zero and zero and it's the first game.
- 1:44:01Speaker 7: You're sitting in the locker room. Probably the longest wait,
- 1:44:04Speaker 7: you know, to kick off whenever it is. And I
- 1:44:06Speaker 7: think we probably played a Sunday night game to kick
- 1:44:09Speaker 7: off the season, and you're going, I got no clue
- 1:44:11Speaker 7: how today it's going to go, Like you just okay,
- 1:44:14Speaker 7: we've had good But then once you showed on the
- 1:44:17Speaker 7: then it kind of build, right, momentum confidence, you got
- 1:44:21Speaker 7: a clue who you're going to be.
- 1:44:22Speaker 5: Take that to.
- 1:44:24Speaker 7: When we kind of began the retool on defense. Uh,
- 1:44:30Speaker 7: we had that's when we drafted. I mean we had
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: been drafting. I mean we had Kobe Turner. Then it
- 1:44:35Speaker 7: was it was Fisk and Jared versus. We had this
- 1:44:37Speaker 7: really young defense and they practice, I mean they practiced
- 1:44:42Speaker 7: like they were in eighth grade China. Mean, it was
- 1:44:44Speaker 7: like they were having fun, rob having signs and however,
- 1:44:48Speaker 7: what year he is and he's like, these guys are
- 1:44:51Speaker 7: you know, I mean, they're practicing too hard. We're just
- 1:44:54Speaker 7: a practice right, yeah, you know a veteran would be.
- 1:44:57Speaker 7: And that you could just tell they were just youthful.
- 1:45:00Speaker 7: And it was so tenacious, so urgent, violent. We went
- 1:45:04Speaker 7: to practice a couple of teams and it was wow.
- 1:45:08Speaker 7: And this might have been more like twenty four, but
- 1:45:13Speaker 7: we opened up the year and those guys we went
- 1:45:16Speaker 7: and I forget what game might have been week two
- 1:45:19Speaker 7: after getting beat week one, and this team went after
- 1:45:22Speaker 7: the Kyler Murray and it was like they but they
- 1:45:26Speaker 7: had no clue. They didn't know you needed to contain him.
- 1:45:28Speaker 7: He was spinning out. He played Superman ball that day.
- 1:45:32Speaker 7: And the Cardinals destroy us, and you're the interesting thing.
- 1:45:36Speaker 7: You're going, oh my, we got the youngest defense in
- 1:45:39Speaker 7: football and it looks young. But it was kind of
- 1:45:42Speaker 7: fun to watch myself. And maybe it was just self talk.
- 1:45:47Speaker 7: Maybe it was really therapy for Sean. In some senses,
- 1:45:52Speaker 7: I think this thing's gonna jails. You gotta like how
- 1:45:55Speaker 7: the individuals are playing fists versed Kobe, they're playing violent,
- 1:46:00Speaker 7: they're trying to care. They just you know, the gaps
- 1:46:04Speaker 7: are off and it's a little clunky now, but you
- 1:46:07Speaker 7: were you were like, I think this thing's gonna jail,
- 1:46:10Speaker 7: and again it began yelling, and by the end of
- 1:46:12Speaker 7: the year we turned it around and got to the
- 1:46:14Speaker 7: playoffs and that. So there, those are those are the
- 1:46:17Speaker 7: moments kind of what you're saying. But it's probably not
- 1:46:21Speaker 7: just one practice. I've probably been a part of teams
- 1:46:24Speaker 7: where older team the season's over too early, like let's
- 1:46:30Speaker 7: call it week week ten. You know it's over. Then
- 1:46:33Speaker 7: it's I call it.
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:46:34Speaker 7: Now it's like we're a junior college. It's like no one,
- 1:46:38Speaker 7: You're like, okay, this is But it's been a while
- 1:46:40Speaker 7: since we've we've been there going same story, gonna bore you.
- 1:46:45Speaker 7: When Sean first got here, yea, and it Jared was
- 1:46:51Speaker 7: a sophomore year, he had he had played a few
- 1:46:53Speaker 7: games a rookie year. But there's Sean will tell you
- 1:46:57Speaker 7: it was a great joke. And we had we had
- 1:46:59Speaker 7: been bad historically statistically on offense during during our had
- 1:47:05Speaker 7: had been a really salty defense. Uh, but we were
- 1:47:08Speaker 7: kind of thirty second and a lot of metrics offensively
- 1:47:12Speaker 7: and man Shaw and Shawn's I mean, it was fun
- 1:47:15Speaker 7: to watch us practice. We went over and scrimmaged the Chargers.
- 1:47:20Speaker 7: Jared had a really really good day. We had girly
- 1:47:22Speaker 7: and then we had some good player things like that.
- 1:47:24Speaker 7: They were jaeling, we're we're clicking, and I'm like, hey, Sean, man,
- 1:47:29Speaker 7: I mean, we got a really good shot of being
- 1:47:31Speaker 7: a lot better offense than we were than we have been.
- 1:47:33Speaker 7: He's like, for God's sake, I mean, I don't know
- 1:47:36Speaker 7: what he said. It was a great joke, he says,
- 1:47:38Speaker 7: I mean, for yeah, we're thirty second. I mean, if
- 1:47:40Speaker 7: we're not better than thirty seconds, just shoot me.
- 1:47:43Speaker 5: So exactly.
- 1:47:43Speaker 7: He didn't take it as a compliment, but but it
- 1:47:45Speaker 7: was interesting. You could see it, you could feel it,
- 1:47:48Speaker 7: and then it came to life during the season.
- 1:47:51Speaker 5: That's awesome when you're.
- 1:47:55Speaker 7: That was the longest answer to a question.
- 1:47:57Speaker 5: I love it though, Well, anytime you're doing an interview
- 1:47:59Speaker 5: or podcast as you love the guests talk as much
- 1:48:01Speaker 5: as possible and it's and it's fun.
- 1:48:03Speaker 7: And don't even answer this question.
- 1:48:05Speaker 5: Oh we have BLQ. We have to get out of here. Okay,
- 1:48:08Speaker 5: who do you have b l Q? It's a bud
- 1:48:11Speaker 5: light question.
- 1:48:13Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm good at these Okay, you
- 1:48:15Speaker 7: know what I mean. I'm the only child, kind of introverted.
- 1:48:20Speaker 7: I'm never gonna work.
- 1:48:20Speaker 5: Away from this conversation being like that lessening guy. He's
- 1:48:23Speaker 5: an introvert. Never. Yeah, that's that's the old l A
- 1:48:27Speaker 5: and you. The new l A is coming through a
- 1:48:30Speaker 5: little more talkative, a little more have a little fun.
- 1:48:32Speaker 5: But the bud light question is anybody and everybody would
- 1:48:34Speaker 5: do anything for an ice cold bud light. What's something
- 1:48:37Speaker 5: that you would do anything for? Can't say family? Brock
- 1:48:42Speaker 5: Bowers was honest in a Great Steak dinner. I think
- 1:48:45Speaker 5: Luke Comb said he'd do a fraud baloney sandwich. Yeah,
- 1:48:50Speaker 5: Steven know, I said ce dinosaurs.
- 1:48:53Speaker 7: I mean I'm I mean, can we go sports here?
- 1:48:56Speaker 5: You can do whatever you want?
- 1:48:58Speaker 7: Family? Yeah, and I am a little bit methodical. I'd
- 1:49:03Speaker 7: like to think about it, you know what I mean?
- 1:49:06Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:49:06Speaker 7: Oh yeah, somehow bring Aaron Donald back to the ram.
- 1:49:10Speaker 5: Yeah, have you now? I know you have to. I
- 1:49:11Speaker 5: know we have to go some reason.
- 1:49:14Speaker 7: All of a sudden we're extending this podcast.
- 1:49:16Speaker 5: We can't up to you.
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 1:49:19Speaker 5: This is up to you? Is Aaron Donald? Is this
- 1:49:20Speaker 5: a real thing.
- 1:49:22Speaker 7: I don't know if it's a real thing.
- 1:49:23Speaker 5: What I them how you would know better than anybody.
- 1:49:27Speaker 7: He's Here's what I can say, for the first time
- 1:49:30Speaker 7: since he retired, he does have an itch right to
- 1:49:35Speaker 7: go right, you know what he can kind of I'd
- 1:49:38Speaker 7: love to be a part of something meaningful again. First
- 1:49:41Speaker 7: time he's had that itch. The neat thing.
- 1:49:43Speaker 5: You've retired.
- 1:49:44Speaker 7: Now the second chapter for you doing this is probably
- 1:49:47Speaker 7: but you know, as a football player, when you retire,
- 1:49:49Speaker 7: there's a cliff and there's probably some foggy days of
- 1:49:53Speaker 7: like what do I do with my day?
- 1:49:55Speaker 5: What do I do?
- 1:49:56Speaker 7: All those things? Neat thing with Aaron, And I'm sure
- 1:49:58Speaker 7: he may have gone through that, but I don't think
- 1:50:00Speaker 7: there's been many days where he's actually said, man, I'd
- 1:50:03Speaker 7: love to go practice football game, or I'd love it.
- 1:50:06Speaker 7: He did say there's some times where you missed the
- 1:50:09Speaker 7: locker room. Maybe in the playoffs there sometimes like, ah,
- 1:50:13Speaker 7: that'd be cool to be on the bus over there.
- 1:50:16Speaker 7: But I can't say for the first time since he
- 1:50:20Speaker 7: has retired, he's he's got an itch and he's actually
- 1:50:24Speaker 7: working to see if he can scratch that itch. That's
- 1:50:27Speaker 7: the part of Aaron Donald that everyone should know he
- 1:50:32Speaker 7: I mean, he has this standard and if he doesn't
- 1:50:35Speaker 7: think he can get close to that standard, he'll probably
- 1:50:37Speaker 7: just say, yeah, it's best to keep you know whatever.
- 1:50:40Speaker 7: Put some calaman lotion or something on. Yeah, yeah, that's Alabama.
- 1:50:46Speaker 7: You ever had poison?
- 1:50:47Speaker 5: Obviously I have not, but I really see he's had
- 1:50:51Speaker 5: it a few times. He's brought it up. If Aaron
- 1:50:53Speaker 5: Donald called you right now, I was like, I'm in
- 1:50:55Speaker 5: how is that conversation as simple as that We're like, okay, cool,
- 1:50:59Speaker 5: let's do it? Or is that are there more steps
- 1:51:02Speaker 5: have to take place.
- 1:51:03Speaker 7: There'll be some more steps and a lot of it.
- 1:51:05Speaker 7: And we've had some of these discussions. Yeah, as as
- 1:51:08Speaker 7: it's kind of you know, let's call it whatever trinkled
- 1:51:12Speaker 7: out into the I call it the metasphere, all the
- 1:51:16Speaker 7: platforms that you know, community.
- 1:51:17Speaker 5: There's some trickling taking place. This will definitely be a
- 1:51:20Speaker 5: trickle Well you're what you're saying right now, So you know,
- 1:51:22Speaker 5: so we've had those, but a lot would okay, win
- 1:51:26Speaker 5: roll right, all all those things. I'm sure if you
- 1:51:29Speaker 5: just like, hey, don't come to camp, come to last week,
- 1:51:32Speaker 5: get a little too roster spotforms is what you'll You'll
- 1:51:36Speaker 5: start the season with fifty two hoping for a fifty
- 1:51:38Speaker 5: third to come down the street.
- 1:51:40Speaker 7: And if we start with fifty three, maybe we Oh,
- 1:51:44Speaker 7: I mean it happens.
- 1:51:45Speaker 5: It does his business. You know that fifty third guys
- 1:51:48Speaker 5: you to call his parents.
- 1:51:49Speaker 7: I did it.
- 1:51:49Speaker 5: I made.
- 1:51:52Speaker 7: Your clear waivers, will get you back on practice squad. Yeah,
- 1:51:54Speaker 7: someone claims you're great. You know what you get.
- 1:51:56Speaker 5: That's also thirty one or thirty one other teams got
- 1:51:58Speaker 5: to see you. This is incredible, But imagine being the
- 1:52:02Speaker 5: guy that barely made the roster. I'm on call my parents. Yeah,
- 1:52:05Speaker 5: I did it. I'm in the NFL. My dreams come true.
- 1:52:08Speaker 5: You get on your phone, you look, Aaron Donald's coming
- 1:52:10Speaker 5: back to the l A rams. The next thing you
- 1:52:13Speaker 5: see this an l LA area code calling you. Hey,
- 1:52:16Speaker 5: Less wants to see you in his office, going to
- 1:52:18Speaker 5: bring her playbook.
- 1:52:19Speaker 7: Here's what I can't say. That'll be like one of
- 1:52:21Speaker 7: the worst days of his life, like thirty years from now. Yeah,
- 1:52:24Speaker 7: he'll be telling that story. Yeah, I got cut for
- 1:52:28Speaker 7: Aaron Donald. It'll be a better story later in life.
- 1:52:30Speaker 5: I know where, I know where. We've already cut this
- 1:52:32Speaker 5: podcast even though we haven't cut this podcast, Miles Garrett,
- 1:52:35Speaker 5: I mean, is that just an alien?
- 1:52:38Speaker 7: Have you have you seen I've been watching this summer
- 1:52:41Speaker 7: some of these documentaries on I don't even think they
- 1:52:43Speaker 7: call them. They call them aliens, but UFOs they call
- 1:52:45Speaker 7: them something else, like UDA's you. It's like they're undrafted
- 1:52:49Speaker 7: free agents. So I'm like, okay, I'm starting to buy
- 1:52:52Speaker 7: in that maybe there's some you know whatever, other life
- 1:52:56Speaker 7: out there. Yeah, and then then you see miles of
- 1:52:59Speaker 7: practice and you go, yah.
- 1:53:00Speaker 5: Yeah, they're among us.
- 1:53:01Speaker 7: Yeah, among us.
- 1:53:02Speaker 5: Have you seen his infamous uh gray short photo when
- 1:53:05Speaker 5: he's in a press conference? No, well, I have to
- 1:53:08Speaker 5: show you before you walk out, because there's the he
- 1:53:11Speaker 5: knew what he was doing when he went up to
- 1:53:13Speaker 5: the podium. I'll say that. Yeah, no, I have. Again,
- 1:53:18Speaker 5: he's a specimen, there's no doubt about it. I played
- 1:53:19Speaker 5: him in twenty seventeen, his rookie year, and I'm so
- 1:53:21Speaker 5: glad I never played him again because it's like, all right,
- 1:53:24Speaker 5: I got that. Now we're out of here.
- 1:53:26Speaker 7: I wish they had drafted Larry.
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: I mean, I'd have been a right tackle.
- 1:53:29Speaker 7: And that's what you're thinking, Yeah, that's probably what I'm
- 1:53:31Speaker 7: thinking to myself, I'd have been a right tackle. Would
- 1:53:33Speaker 7: have been an easy day. All have to do is
- 1:53:34Speaker 7: learn though, Yeah, just walk out here.
- 1:53:36Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys, don't run an offense that you can
- 1:53:38Speaker 5: just box out though. He isn't that run off the
- 1:53:40Speaker 5: ball stuff that Wanda, the Zoro, the Zappa. Oh I
- 1:53:45Speaker 5: would I had the floor uh at the Titans for
- 1:53:48Speaker 5: a year, and that's kind of when we had that.
- 1:53:50Speaker 5: Arthur Smith kind of ran the exact offenses.
- 1:53:51Speaker 7: You guys.
- 1:53:52Speaker 5: I hated your offense because it was so different than
- 1:53:55Speaker 5: any offense I've ever done, and then once I figured
- 1:53:58Speaker 5: out the techniques of it, it was far and away
- 1:54:00Speaker 5: my favorite offense I've ever been in for an offensive lineman.

- 1:56:26Speaker 5: the next. Unbelievable last year. You guys, look at steering
- 1:56:29Speaker 5: down the barrel of a three p vibes are high.
- 1:56:31Speaker 5: I'm over doing Get up in the morning. On ESPN,
- 1:56:33Speaker 5: every conversation revolves around the Kansasy Chiefs. Could they possibly
- 1:56:36Speaker 5: be beat? Obviously the season kind of goes not the
- 1:56:39Speaker 5: way we want to go. We missed the playoffs. How
- 1:56:41Speaker 5: was the locker room in Kansas City when all of
- 1:56:44Speaker 5: a sudden, you know, there's this team has all the
- 1:56:47Speaker 5: confidence in the world. You have one of the biggest
- 1:56:49Speaker 5: stars in the NFL dating the biggest star in the
- 1:56:51Speaker 5: entire world. Mahomes is the baby goat, Like you have
- 1:56:54Speaker 5: everything going for you, guys, Like, how is adversity in
- 1:56:57Speaker 5: a locker room like that that hasn't seen adversity in forever?
- 1:56:59Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I feel like when I first got there,
- 1:57:01Speaker 14: even that was coming off of the Bengals just beat
- 1:57:03Speaker 14: them at home in the championship, and like over there,
- 1:57:06Speaker 14: it's a winning mentality, like anytime we lose or anything,
- 1:57:10Speaker 14: it's always just on the next one.
- 1:57:12Speaker 7: Like we'll get it back. Don't worry.
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: Don't worry.
- 1:57:13Speaker 14: And last year, I like, even for me, that was
- 1:57:15Speaker 14: the first time like I was ahead of the dB group,
- 1:57:17Speaker 14: you know what I mean, Like, let's get these boys rocking.
- 1:57:19Speaker 14: And then we're losing and we're losing and we're like, nah,
- 1:57:21Speaker 14: we're good, we're gonna make it back, like we do this,
- 1:57:24Speaker 14: We're used to this. And you lose, and you lose,
- 1:57:26Speaker 14: and everybody sitting back like kind of like WHOA, what's
- 1:57:28Speaker 14: going on? Like this isn't us, Like what do we
- 1:57:30Speaker 14: have to do? And unfortunately, you know, it's the NFL.
- 1:57:33Speaker 14: Some things happened like that, But I mean the biggest
- 1:57:36Speaker 14: thing for me was seeing there was just no quit
- 1:57:38Speaker 14: Like it was almost like guys almost tricked themselves, like
- 1:57:41Speaker 14: this wasn't real. Like we're losing, like the scoreboard that
- 1:57:45Speaker 14: didn't matter, Like now we're not losing our records really
- 1:57:47Speaker 14: not like that. Like the funniest thing was like Chris Jones,
- 1:57:50Speaker 14: I think one of the games where we lost and
- 1:57:51Speaker 14: we got finally kicked out of the playoffs and he's
- 1:57:53Speaker 14: up at the pot and he's like we still got it,
- 1:57:55Speaker 14: and they're like Chris nor Rout.
- 1:57:58Speaker 5: Like you're looking mathematically, it's not going to make it.
- 1:58:00Speaker 14: He was just like like, oh, like I don't even
- 1:58:03Speaker 14: know what to say, Like I don't know how to
- 1:58:04Speaker 14: be here. But like even guys like that like Pat.
- 1:58:07Speaker 14: Once Pat got hurt, like the guy saw him the
- 1:58:09Speaker 14: next day in the training room like working out. Yeah,
- 1:58:13Speaker 14: me busted, and he's in there working out, And I'm
- 1:58:15Speaker 14: just like it's the mentality and the approach to just
- 1:58:18Speaker 14: like we gotta just keep riding, we gotta keep Yeah.
- 1:58:21Speaker 5: Pat, Pat's he seems like an awesome guy. But if
- 1:58:23Speaker 5: you're watching, like if I'm an offensive lineman and I
- 1:58:25Speaker 5: see Pat Mahomes, our fearless leader go down Tursday cl
- 1:58:29Speaker 5: you can't help but feel like, oh, fuck, this is it.
- 1:58:33Speaker 5: It's over now? Is that like kind of like the
- 1:58:35Speaker 5: defining moment for you? Guys were like Jesus Christ.
- 1:58:37Speaker 7: Honestly a little bit.
- 1:58:38Speaker 14: I feel like that was a moment where you're just
- 1:58:39Speaker 14: like like, yeah, this year is just like it's not
- 1:58:42Speaker 14: our year. Ye, Like nothing's going well. Like I got hurt,
- 1:58:45Speaker 14: So many guys got hurt, and then Pat went down,
- 1:58:47Speaker 14: and yeah, you can just see everyone just like damn,
- 1:58:50Speaker 14: like what are we gonna do with that.
- 1:58:52Speaker 5: You know, there's just slow mo videos of Chris whose crime.
- 1:58:55Speaker 1: Like it's it?
- 1:58:56Speaker 14: That was the real Kelse Like yeah, and like traves On,
- 1:59:01Speaker 14: you know tray bro, he's low key to heart and
- 1:59:04Speaker 14: soul that team. And when you see him crush like that,
- 1:59:06Speaker 14: you see Chriss crush, Like for some of the young guys,
- 1:59:09Speaker 14: their eyes kind of got big, like what do we do?
- 1:59:12Speaker 14: You know, it's kind of got stuck, and like it
- 1:59:14Speaker 14: was the end of the year, so I think guys
- 1:59:16Speaker 14: kind of just was like, I mean, all right, let's
- 1:59:19Speaker 14: just get through the rest of the season, like let's
- 1:59:20Speaker 14: try the hardest. But like I would be really interested
- 1:59:23Speaker 14: if feels like a week three, Like how would guys
- 1:59:25Speaker 14: really respond?
- 1:59:26Speaker 5: Because yeah, I think at a week three it's like
- 1:59:29Speaker 5: we gotta who is who is the backup at the time?
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: Minshew?
- 1:59:32Speaker 5: Yeah, And Minshew's got some moxie about him for sure,
- 1:59:35Speaker 5: like Okay, maybe we can do something. Obviously he got
- 1:59:37Speaker 5: still out there just.
- 1:59:39Speaker 14: Nuts and and it's like now around the third I
- 1:59:41Speaker 14: love Chris, Yeah, but like just getting thrown into the
- 1:59:44Speaker 14: fire like that, and at the year, Bro, that that takes, Yeah,
- 1:59:48Speaker 14: that takes the ball.
- 1:59:49Speaker 5: How this is probably your first time to in a
- 1:59:51Speaker 5: locker room where it's like you're in you know, Christmas
- 1:59:54Speaker 5: is right right around the corner, and guys are no
- 1:59:56Speaker 5: longer talking about playoffs. They're talking about like, hey, what
- 1:59:58Speaker 5: are you doing when the season's over?
- 1:59:59Speaker 1: You go?
- 2:00:00Speaker 5: But were you headed to? All those types of things
- 2:00:01Speaker 5: like that had to be weird kind of a shock
- 2:00:03Speaker 5: field because like my first year we went to and fourteen. Yeah,
- 2:00:06Speaker 5: I'm halfway through October, I got ten year vets talking
- 2:00:08Speaker 5: about Cancun and I'm thinking this is crazy. I can't
- 2:00:11Speaker 5: believe people are talking like this.
- 2:00:13Speaker 14: So I had to be a shock for you, like
- 2:00:15Speaker 14: especially even getting hurt, like I was done December seventh,
- 2:00:18Speaker 14: and like this is obviously my longest off season, even
- 2:00:21Speaker 14: if we didn't make playoffs, Like I feel like I
- 2:00:23Speaker 14: haven't played football in so long. Like I remember literly
- 2:00:26Speaker 14: in May and I looked at set and I'm like, bro,
- 2:00:28Speaker 14: like I didn't play some ball. I was like you
- 2:00:30Speaker 14: get that it's going You're like, dude, I haven't played
- 2:00:32Speaker 14: football in months. But yeah, just seeing guys almost just
- 2:00:37Speaker 14: like yeah, not know what to do, Like it wasn't
- 2:00:40Speaker 14: even like we're booking trips. It was just like, so
- 2:00:43Speaker 14: like what are you going to do?
- 2:00:45Speaker 7: You know exactly what are you doing? And everyone's just
- 2:00:48Speaker 7: like I don't know.
- 2:00:50Speaker 5: Because every player, like the first week or two after
- 2:00:52Speaker 5: the season, you're like, bro, this is the best sit down,
- 2:00:55Speaker 5: don't sit in, alarm, eat whatever you want whatever, because
- 2:00:58Speaker 5: you know, like you have this specific in your head,
- 2:01:00Speaker 5: like this is where I gonna start getting back after it. Yes,
- 2:01:02Speaker 5: And when stuff like that happens, like getting an injury.
- 2:01:05Speaker 5: The minute you get injured, it's like I have to
- 2:01:07Speaker 5: be one hundred percent like tomorrow, tomorrow, what do I
- 2:01:09Speaker 5: have to do?
- 2:01:10Speaker 14: Immediately You're up the next morning like six am, like
- 2:01:13Speaker 14: going into the training room doing all these things. And
- 2:01:15Speaker 14: like in my situation, it was always like I know
- 2:01:18Speaker 14: it was the end of the season.
- 2:01:19Speaker 5: But I was like, maybe I can play one more game.
- 2:01:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:01:21Speaker 7: I was like I know we're we're out of playoffs,
- 2:01:23Speaker 7: but like maybe I can just get one more in.
- 2:01:25Speaker 14: And then they would just be like or not maybe
- 2:01:28Speaker 14: just chill yeah okay, Well, Like it was just that
- 2:01:30Speaker 14: mentality where like in the season, you're just going you're
- 2:01:32Speaker 14: just like gotta lock in, gotta go to meet it's
- 2:01:34Speaker 14: gotta do this and then it stopped. I remember that
- 2:01:37Speaker 14: first watching the first playoff game at home for me
- 2:01:39Speaker 14: and my career was so weird.
- 2:01:41Speaker 5: Bro, whatef rare you have? Like truly, that's such a
- 2:01:44Speaker 5: rare thought process.
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: Insane.
- 2:01:46Speaker 5: Yeah, like just my experience, like we didn't make the
- 2:01:49Speaker 5: playoffs until like four years in and even then, like
- 2:01:51Speaker 5: guys that have been on other teams, but hey, just
- 2:01:53Speaker 5: so you know, like this is not forever. The fact
- 2:01:54Speaker 5: that we're even in a playoff game is amazing, and
- 2:01:57Speaker 5: the first time in your career is like a long
- 2:01:59Speaker 5: er on the line is just is just wild. Yeah,
- 2:02:02Speaker 5: when you hit the off season, when did you start
- 2:02:05Speaker 5: to feel like, okay, my time in Kansas City might
- 2:02:07Speaker 5: be ever was it super abrupt Do you find out
- 2:02:09Speaker 5: the ticker your agent just call you or was there
- 2:02:11Speaker 5: kind of like a little bit of a room or
- 2:02:12Speaker 5: taking place.
- 2:02:13Speaker 14: Like I mean, the whole time they're telling me, you know,
- 2:02:15Speaker 14: we're gonna get a situation, we're gonna get the contract done,
- 2:02:17Speaker 14: We're gonna get it done.
- 2:02:19Speaker 7: Like the whole season.
- 2:02:19Speaker 14: So really my off season I was like, all right,
- 2:02:21Speaker 14: I'm gonna go chill knowing the Chiefs they're gonna kind
- 2:02:24Speaker 14: of drag.
- 2:02:24Speaker 5: This out like you've seen Tyreek Hill a few things.
- 2:02:28Speaker 14: I'm like, okay, I'm I'm a book a trip here,
- 2:02:30Speaker 14: like I might not be able this moment, Like you know,
- 2:02:32Speaker 14: I'm just like we'll get it done eventually, but like
- 2:02:35Speaker 14: I'm cool.
- 2:02:35Speaker 7: I'm sitting back.
- 2:02:36Speaker 14: And then yeah, like combine came around, my agent started
- 2:02:39Speaker 14: talking to him and whispers started happening, like I don't
- 2:02:42Speaker 14: know if they're gonna bring you back this and that.
- 2:02:44Speaker 14: And then literally like two days after the Combine ends,
- 2:02:48Speaker 14: I'm training in my Apple Wash Bro, just.
- 2:02:51Speaker 7: Ding ding ding ding, and I'm like, gups, like, what
- 2:02:54Speaker 7: is going on?
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: Bro? Look at it.
- 2:02:55Speaker 14: I'm like I'm like, I don't know, Bro, do not disturb, Like,
- 2:02:58Speaker 14: let me just focus on the workout, bro. And all
- 2:03:00Speaker 14: of a sudden, I see my fiance and my mom
- 2:03:03Speaker 14: walking to the training.
- 2:03:05Speaker 7: I'm like, why are y'all here?
- 2:03:08Speaker 5: Like my first it was like yeah, come on, yeah, literally,
- 2:03:12Speaker 5: don't come.
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: Train, like yeah, this is weird.
- 2:03:14Speaker 14: And then yeah, I was like hold on, look and
- 2:03:17Speaker 14: it was just like you're traded. And then my agent's
- 2:03:19Speaker 14: blowing me up. I'm sorry, bro, Like it came out
- 2:03:22Speaker 14: before I could even call you, this out and the
- 2:03:23Speaker 14: third way and I was just like whoa, like for real,
- 2:03:26Speaker 14: like the world stopped for a second. I was like,
- 2:03:29Speaker 14: let me get my bearings, like what just happened? And
- 2:03:32Speaker 14: then I found out LA and I was like, oh,
- 2:03:33Speaker 14: I mean.
- 2:03:34Speaker 5: You were living? Yeah, well it's all good.
- 2:03:37Speaker 7: Yeah I'm good. But yeah, just that moment, like as
- 2:03:40Speaker 7: you know, getting traded, it's just like a moment is
- 2:03:42Speaker 7: like whoa, what is going on?
- 2:03:44Speaker 5: Are you see?
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:03:46Speaker 5: Are you Pat Collins?
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: Collins?
- 2:03:48Speaker 5: So Pat Collins was a senior at Michigan when I
- 2:03:50Speaker 5: was a freshman. So I'm doing Pat forever forever. Also
- 2:03:53Speaker 5: with that being said, shame on Pat for not having
- 2:03:55Speaker 5: his ground.
- 2:03:55Speaker 7: That's look and he's sharp, Like, oh yeah, Pat, that
- 2:04:00Speaker 7: is hands down the back with him.
- 2:04:02Speaker 5: Last week in Nashville, he comes over and he was
- 2:04:04Speaker 5: like talking about your house and he's like it's incredible.
- 2:04:07Speaker 5: He was he was he was glazing the house a
- 2:04:09Speaker 5: little bit.
- 2:04:11Speaker 14: Get him right, bro, come on, that's not like you, bro.
- 2:04:15Speaker 14: But I remember I opened the front door, but his
- 2:04:17Speaker 14: mouth is on the floor and I'm just like, bro,
- 2:04:19Speaker 14: come on, dog, like yeah, I act like you've been
- 2:04:21Speaker 14: here before, you know what I mean? Like come on, doll,
- 2:04:23Speaker 14: but no, like it was. Yeah, it was surreal and
- 2:04:26Speaker 14: like knowing that it was la like for sure, I
- 2:04:28Speaker 14: mean Sean called me, all these people call me, but
- 2:04:30Speaker 14: it was definitely obviously you know, I'm expected to go
- 2:04:32Speaker 14: back to the chiefs, So a little part of it
- 2:04:34Speaker 14: was just like damn, bro, like what's.
- 2:04:36Speaker 1: Up with that?
- 2:04:36Speaker 7: Like you didn't let me know anything. I didn't have
- 2:04:39Speaker 7: any conversation about nothing. It was just like bye, pretty much.
- 2:04:43Speaker 5: Like and this whole time, you're you're booking the trip,
- 2:04:46Speaker 5: you're getting to work at it, and you're like, oh,
- 2:04:47Speaker 5: I'm going to be a chief next year, and out
- 2:04:49Speaker 5: of nowhere they do that, which is like you've heard
- 2:04:52Speaker 5: a couple of guys say that, not about the Chiefs,
- 2:04:54Speaker 5: but multiple that happens all the time the guys. What
- 2:04:57Speaker 5: your initial reaction, I'm assuming is anger before you find
- 2:05:00Speaker 5: out where you're going. Yeah, so you have anger. How
- 2:05:02Speaker 5: quickly did it turn to like oh ship, like Matthew Stafford?
- 2:05:06Speaker 5: Pretty fast?
- 2:05:07Speaker 14: Yeah, Because I'm also one of those guys where it's
- 2:05:09Speaker 14: like I can't hold onto the past like this happened.
- 2:05:14Speaker 14: It happened, Like let's just move on as fast as
- 2:05:16Speaker 14: I can and honestly having that conversation with Sean McVay
- 2:05:20Speaker 14: and then our dB coach Jimmy Lake was my dB
- 2:05:23Speaker 14: coach at Washington, so like there was automatically like relationship
- 2:05:27Speaker 14: there just talking to both of them to out the
- 2:05:30Speaker 14: gate just already was just calming, like yeah, I like.
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: Going home.
- 2:05:36Speaker 7: Obviously, I don't know really anything about the r NFC.
- 2:05:39Speaker 7: First off, never been in the NFC, like just soy
- 2:05:42Speaker 7: the way then his brutal Bro. It's so funny.
- 2:05:45Speaker 14: We're at the opening, the Nike opening and it was
- 2:05:47Speaker 14: like me, Sae Kwon, Jayden Daniels and all of them
- 2:05:50Speaker 14: were talking about who's making it out of the NFC, right, like.
- 2:05:52Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we got it this year. And I'm sitting back, Bro,
- 2:05:55Speaker 7: like I'm listening to conversation.
- 2:05:56Speaker 14: I'm kind of joking around, bro, and then like midway through,
- 2:05:59Speaker 14: I go, hold up, Bro, I'm like I should be
- 2:06:03Speaker 14: in this conversation. Actually, Like I forgot I'm here now right.
- 2:06:07Speaker 14: They're like, nah, Bro, you don't count you're on the RAMS.
- 2:06:10Speaker 14: I'm like, all right, well dang, but yeah, like totally
- 2:06:12Speaker 14: forgot that I'm in the NFC. So just like everything
- 2:06:15Speaker 14: about it was so different to me. But then you
- 2:06:18Speaker 14: come in and you go to the OTAs and you
- 2:06:21Speaker 14: hear Sean and like, honestly, this team is so fun.
- 2:06:24Speaker 14: Like they're young, they're hungry, Like you can just tell
- 2:06:27Speaker 14: there's just like this attention to just wanting to get
- 2:06:30Speaker 14: better like that Sean McVay like how he runs this
- 2:06:33Speaker 14: program that like I've seen it really work.
- 2:06:35Speaker 7: These guys believe they bought.
- 2:06:37Speaker 14: In and honestly, I'm having so much fun, Like I
- 2:06:40Speaker 14: feel like I got that spirit back, like that swagger
- 2:06:43Speaker 14: back they talk about, like I'm like, I'm in La.
- 2:06:45Speaker 7: I'm with guys who make this fun. Like I can't
- 2:06:48Speaker 7: wait for the season.
- 2:06:49Speaker 5: Dude, that's awesome. And so it's so interesting to hear
- 2:06:52Speaker 5: you come from two extremely successful programs and you have
- 2:06:55Speaker 5: one head coach and his main talking point is about
- 2:06:57Speaker 5: cheezburgers and what he puts on, which is not a
- 2:07:00Speaker 5: bad thing at all. It's very funny. And then Sean
- 2:07:02Speaker 5: the way he talks, like what are there some other
- 2:07:04Speaker 5: comparisons or some differences between the Chiefs and the Rams,
- 2:07:09Speaker 5: And they're like, oh, this is so weird how it
- 2:07:12Speaker 5: is different from Kansas City. Yeah, I feel like.
- 2:07:15Speaker 14: Both obviously Hall of Fame coaches Big Red. He got
- 2:07:19Speaker 14: it down to the textbook, you know what I mean.
- 2:07:20Speaker 14: Like the reason they win is Big Red knows how
- 2:07:23Speaker 14: to win. He knows how to get guys in the
- 2:07:25Speaker 14: right position, how to get your bodies right. But like
- 2:07:28Speaker 14: it's a little more old school. You go to CAC
- 2:07:30Speaker 14: but you are working like three hour practices. Our trainee
- 2:07:35Speaker 14: camp days go from nine am to eight pm, structured
- 2:07:38Speaker 14: every day, four days a week, one day off, come
- 2:07:41Speaker 14: back for their practices and I come over here and
- 2:07:44Speaker 14: Sean Vay is a little more like we want your
- 2:07:46Speaker 14: body to be fresh, we want you to be fluid. Like, yeah,
- 2:07:49Speaker 14: we're gonna hit it hard. Like today we had a
- 2:07:51Speaker 14: jog through which I've never had a job through my life.
- 2:07:54Speaker 5: I'm nice as the job through a better vibe in
- 2:07:58Speaker 5: the world.
- 2:07:58Speaker 7: And you wake up in the morning, what's a dog through?
- 2:08:00Speaker 7: You're like, I need it.
- 2:08:02Speaker 5: Isn't it crazy how you wake up with so much
- 2:08:04Speaker 5: energy on jog through days, but then full pad days
- 2:08:06Speaker 5: you wake up and everything hurts for somebody.
- 2:08:07Speaker 14: You're like dead tired bags. And then literally like the
- 2:08:10Speaker 14: next day you wake up all the energy it's like
- 2:08:13Speaker 14: where not.
- 2:08:13Speaker 5: Even And then the next thing you have to jog
- 2:08:15Speaker 5: through tomorrow you'll be heavy day.
- 2:08:22Speaker 14: It's a mentality, like truly, and that's what I think
- 2:08:25Speaker 14: Sean does a good job. It's just your mentality. Like
- 2:08:28Speaker 14: that's what coach Reid did these trainee camps while they
- 2:08:30Speaker 14: were so long. He was like, bro, we're gonna mentally
- 2:08:33Speaker 14: break you so you can find out like how far
- 2:08:35Speaker 14: you can go. So like you get to the fourth
- 2:08:37Speaker 14: quarter and it's a it's a close game, like there's
- 2:08:41Speaker 14: zero like hesitation that we're gonna win, Like.
- 2:08:44Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, done.
- 2:08:44Speaker 14: Eighteen play drives, twenty play drives, ten play drives. It's
- 2:08:47Speaker 14: like been, They're done that easy, Like it is what
- 2:08:50Speaker 14: it is. And then you come over here and you're
- 2:08:52Speaker 14: like oh, Like I'm like, oh, we're not passing for
- 2:08:54Speaker 14: three hours, Like how are you going to get there?
- 2:08:56Speaker 7: Mentally?
- 2:08:57Speaker 14: And then you listen to Sean, you see how the
- 2:08:58Speaker 14: guys work, and you're like I understand now, Like it's
- 2:09:02Speaker 14: just a mentality and that's really like as you know
- 2:09:04Speaker 14: as a football player, like the mentality is the biggest
- 2:09:07Speaker 14: thing once you get the NFL, Like we're all big,
- 2:09:09Speaker 14: we're all fast, we all know what we're doing, but
- 2:09:10Speaker 14: like who really wants to do it day in.
- 2:09:12Speaker 7: And day out.
- 2:09:12Speaker 5: Yeah, the consistency, the disciplin.
- 2:09:14Speaker 14: That's why I love Pat Mahomes and Matthew Stafford. Yeah,
- 2:09:17Speaker 14: being able to sit back and watch two great quarterbacks
- 2:09:19Speaker 14: literally show up at.
- 2:09:21Speaker 7: A certain time do a certain thing like every day
- 2:09:25Speaker 7: I got I gotta do it too. Like if they're
- 2:09:27Speaker 7: doing it, I gotta do it too.
- 2:09:28Speaker 5: Yeah. And it's interesting too, Like you're seeing two great quarterbacks,
- 2:09:31Speaker 5: one with a bunch of gray hair all over his
- 2:09:33Speaker 5: face and the other one is like still young and
- 2:09:36Speaker 5: considered in the prime of his career. Yeah, but staff
- 2:09:38Speaker 5: are coming off like an MVP year, Like you guys
- 2:09:40Speaker 5: have to be sitting here every day being like there's
- 2:09:42Speaker 5: truly a purpose with what's taking place. You're like, you
- 2:09:45Speaker 5: go to other facilities that had, you know, that had
- 2:09:48Speaker 5: top five picks this past year. They're just hoping to
- 2:09:51Speaker 5: have a breakout season do the nine and seventh thing
- 2:09:53Speaker 5: or the nine and eight thing. Like do you feel
- 2:09:55Speaker 5: that level of pressure or is it just been Hey,
- 2:09:57Speaker 5: We've kind of been this way since I've been in
- 2:09:58Speaker 5: Kansas City as well.
- 2:10:00Speaker 14: I mean, honestly, for me, it's kind of just been
- 2:10:02Speaker 14: that way like stepping in the Kansas City culture, going
- 2:10:04Speaker 14: to three Super Bowls every year, Like were you I'm
- 2:10:07Speaker 14: used to the headlines like I don't. My boy, Jayleen
- 2:10:09Speaker 14: Watson came with me, Like that's something that we brought
- 2:10:12Speaker 14: into like the dB room and even just the defense
- 2:10:14Speaker 14: was just like I remember when Miles Garrett got traded,
- 2:10:17Speaker 14: like that day and the news broke, Sean McVay told
- 2:10:20Speaker 14: the team and we went into our dB meeting and
- 2:10:23Speaker 14: we didn't even meet. We just talked like for our
- 2:10:25Speaker 14: straight coach was just like I'm gonna open the floor,
- 2:10:28Speaker 14: just get your feelings out.
- 2:10:30Speaker 8: You know.
- 2:10:30Speaker 7: Obviously they lost Jared Verst. Jared versus a.
- 2:10:32Speaker 5: Huge part, a huge personality.
- 2:10:34Speaker 14: I loved him like I was there for a few
- 2:10:37Speaker 14: weeks with him, you know what I could tell, Like
- 2:10:39Speaker 14: dude came to work, he had high energy, like he
- 2:10:42Speaker 14: was loved And I know that kind of hurt a
- 2:10:44Speaker 14: lot of guys when they traded him. But I remember
- 2:10:46Speaker 14: sitting there and being like, I know we got Miles gared,
- 2:10:48Speaker 14: but like you gotta do realize it's gonna make the
- 2:10:50Speaker 14: season even harder, Like you know, much harder teams are
- 2:10:52Speaker 14: gonna play us because of the weapons we have. Knowing
- 2:10:56Speaker 14: that you have to play the Miles Garretts and the
- 2:10:58Speaker 14: Davante and put like we have all this star power.
- 2:11:01Speaker 14: That's just gonna give everybody more reason to try harder.
- 2:11:04Speaker 14: I was like, so you really gotta like almost even
- 2:11:06Speaker 14: work harder now that we're better. Instead of being like, oh,
- 2:11:10Speaker 14: like we'll make it, it's like, no, now we have
- 2:11:11Speaker 14: an expectation, we have a standard, Like now we gotta
- 2:11:14Speaker 14: go like, now's not the time to pull back and
- 2:11:16Speaker 14: be like, oh, we got it.
- 2:11:17Speaker 7: Like this is easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta put your.
- 2:11:19Speaker 14: Foot down and like you gotta grind because the best
- 2:11:23Speaker 14: thing for me in the league is when like you
- 2:11:24Speaker 14: play a team and then you can look across and
- 2:11:26Speaker 14: you can see they quit and you're like, oh, bro,
- 2:11:29Speaker 14: we got in the bag, like they don't want to
- 2:11:31Speaker 14: be here no more. And I'm like, if we can
- 2:11:33Speaker 14: achieve that like every week, like that's where you want
- 2:11:36Speaker 14: to be, like being on the Chiefs. Once we got there,
- 2:11:38Speaker 14: I was like, we'll win the super Bowl.
- 2:11:40Speaker 5: Dude. It's it's so interesting to hear you talk about
- 2:11:42Speaker 5: like the dB room taking an hour to have a
- 2:11:44Speaker 5: conversation when the result of your team is you got
- 2:11:47Speaker 5: Miles Garrett was the reigning defensive player of the Year. Yeah,
- 2:11:50Speaker 5: but all like what came out of that conversation, like
- 2:11:53Speaker 5: how were the emotions the other guys that have been
- 2:11:56Speaker 5: here longer than you and a known Verse for so long?
- 2:11:58Speaker 7: That was honest.
- 2:11:59Speaker 14: That's like one of my favorite moments from even just
- 2:12:02Speaker 14: being on the team was Sean m Bay standing up
- 2:12:05Speaker 14: in the room with Jared versus the room saying what happened,
- 2:12:08Speaker 14: letting Jared Verse get up and say a few words,
- 2:12:10Speaker 14: and every single guy went up to Jared Verse, shook
- 2:12:13Speaker 14: his hand, games pot words of like encouragement, and then like,
- 2:12:17Speaker 14: guys weren't even like excited excited, you know, like knowing
- 2:12:21Speaker 14: you have Miles Geartt come to team. Like I heard
- 2:12:24Speaker 14: the news, I started smiling. I looked around and I
- 2:12:26Speaker 14: was like, oh, I was like we're not like yeah,
- 2:12:29Speaker 14: you know. It was just like everyone was like whoa
- 2:12:32Speaker 14: hold on, Like Jay Verse like you're gonna let him go?
- 2:12:35Speaker 14: And I was like that special like right there.
- 2:12:38Speaker 5: Off rip for me.
- 2:12:39Speaker 14: I was like there's something here about just how tight
- 2:12:42Speaker 14: knit this group is called like yeah, like it really
- 2:12:46Speaker 14: feels like a home, like you come in to here,
- 2:12:48Speaker 14: and guys are excited to see each other. Guys are
- 2:12:51Speaker 14: asking about families, They know everything about everybody, and like
- 2:12:54Speaker 14: it was the same way with the Chiefs, but like here,
- 2:12:56Speaker 14: it's just a different level of I feel like other teams,
- 2:12:59Speaker 14: like the NFL's a business, you know, you know, sometimes
- 2:13:02Speaker 14: things are gonna happen, like it's a business, and guys
- 2:13:04Speaker 14: truly take it personal here, And I thought.
- 2:13:06Speaker 7: That was so call Like this is how you guys
- 2:13:09Speaker 7: keep getting back.
- 2:13:09Speaker 14: This is why you guys are so good because you
- 2:13:11Speaker 14: guys are fighting solely for each other, Like there's no ego,
- 2:13:15Speaker 14: there's no I'm gonna go get this stat this year,
- 2:13:18Speaker 14: I'm gonna go get this sack or this many picks.
- 2:13:20Speaker 14: Everybody's just like how do we go just win games?
- 2:13:24Speaker 14: I love because that's how I like playing football. Like
- 2:13:26Speaker 14: I don't care about my stats. I'm like, whatever it
- 2:13:29Speaker 14: says at the end of the year for this team,
- 2:13:31Speaker 14: and if we win the Super Bowl.
- 2:13:32Speaker 7: That's it. That's a successful year or not a successful year, right,
- 2:13:36Speaker 7: That's what I.
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: Base it on.
- 2:13:37Speaker 7: And knowing the whole teams like that like that for me,
- 2:13:39Speaker 7: I was like WHOA, I walked into a place that
- 2:13:42Speaker 7: I feel like for me is where I should be nice.
- 2:13:44Speaker 5: Yeah, And I tell you what, if you're in the
- 2:13:46Speaker 5: back right now for the rams PR team they're placing
- 2:13:48Speaker 5: there being like this is the greatest interview of the
- 2:13:50Speaker 5: risk ever possibly get. For the way you're talking about
- 2:13:53Speaker 5: this team you have you always talked about like thought
- 2:13:56Speaker 5: about your successes from a team standpoint, or was there
- 2:13:58Speaker 5: ever a level of like possibly some selfishness just like
- 2:14:01Speaker 5: I want to have good stats when I'm at Washington,
- 2:14:03Speaker 5: I want to get drafted higher. And if that's the case,
- 2:14:06Speaker 5: Like did that ever trans When did it transition? Do
- 2:14:08Speaker 5: you be like I'm more of a team guy? Maybe
- 2:14:10Speaker 5: it would.
- 2:14:10Speaker 14: I mean I always grew up on like the not
- 2:14:13Speaker 14: good team, so I was always like playing hero ball
- 2:14:16Speaker 14: as a kid, you know, like give me the ball
- 2:14:18Speaker 14: and we're gonna win, you know that mentality. And then
- 2:14:21Speaker 14: I always want to play running back more receiver. And
- 2:14:23Speaker 14: I got to high school my freshman year and they're
- 2:14:25Speaker 14: like you're too small, you can't play here, like.
- 2:14:29Speaker 1: Go somewhere else.
- 2:14:30Speaker 7: And I remember I was crushed.
- 2:14:31Speaker 8: Bro.
- 2:14:31Speaker 14: I was like, there's no way you just told me
- 2:14:33Speaker 14: I can't do this. I remember there's like, go play corner.
- 2:14:36Speaker 14: I was like, corner, Like I've never played corner and
- 2:14:39Speaker 14: I did it, and like I mean, look at me now,
- 2:14:41Speaker 14: you know I put in the work, but like you know,
- 2:14:43Speaker 14: you know what I mean. But still like that right there,
- 2:14:46Speaker 14: I was like, okay, like this is this is bigger
- 2:14:50Speaker 14: than me. Right there set the tone where it was
- 2:14:52Speaker 14: like I have to get in where I fit in
- 2:14:55Speaker 14: and as long as I can be a part of
- 2:14:57Speaker 14: this whole scheme like that, that's how we'll win. And
- 2:15:00Speaker 14: then going to college and obviously my junior year, my
- 2:15:04Speaker 14: goal was I'm going to the league. I was like,
- 2:15:06Speaker 14: I don't care what happens this year. I'm going to
- 2:15:08Speaker 14: make sure that I'm gonna get drafted. I don't care
- 2:15:11Speaker 14: if it's first, second, third, or for whatever it is,
- 2:15:13Speaker 14: I'm gone. But then yeah, honestly, just being with the
- 2:15:16Speaker 14: Chiefs and understanding what it meant to win a Super Bowl,
- 2:15:19Speaker 14: like just doing your job was the sole thing we
- 2:15:22Speaker 14: said in the playoffs. Like during the year, guys trying
- 2:15:25Speaker 14: to get sacks, guys trying to get paid got it.
- 2:15:27Speaker 14: You know, they got all these incentives trying to make money.
- 2:15:30Speaker 14: But as soon as that first playoff game hit. Everybody's
- 2:15:33Speaker 14: locked in on their one job, right, Everyone's like, just win.
- 2:15:39Speaker 14: And once I thought about that, I was like, we won,
- 2:15:42Speaker 14: and then one again it's like why would I change it?
- 2:15:45Speaker 14: Like seeing the success and guys doing that versus not,
- 2:15:49Speaker 14: I was like, this is really what ball's about. Like
- 2:15:51Speaker 14: they talk about level on the field. I can be
- 2:15:53Speaker 14: the best stat person ever and one of the guys
- 2:15:56Speaker 14: not doing their thing and will lose. Like yeah, that's
- 2:15:58Speaker 14: not a good feeling to me.
- 2:16:00Speaker 5: Yeah, And it transitions to better leadership too, and you're
- 2:16:02Speaker 5: not so worried about your own individual performance. Dude, I
- 2:16:05Speaker 5: know we have such a short amount of time with you.
- 2:16:07Speaker 5: Have one more question for you. It's a bud light question.
- 2:16:09Speaker 5: But dude, the way you're just talking these fifteen minutes,
- 2:16:11Speaker 5: we've got to figure out a time in the officers
- 2:16:13Speaker 5: and get you with for sure, because this is there's
- 2:16:16Speaker 5: so much meat left on this bone. It's just crazy.
- 2:16:18Speaker 5: But the bud light question is this, people do anything
- 2:16:20Speaker 5: for a nice cat bud light. You know that, of course, right,
- 2:16:23Speaker 5: It's the greatest thing you never sit on your entire life,
- 2:16:25Speaker 5: so refreshing. What is something that you would do anything for?
- 2:16:30Speaker 5: Can't say family.
- 2:16:32Speaker 14: Good question, anything for It's kind of a hard question, yeah,
- 2:16:36Speaker 14: because you can get deep right or you can't, you
- 2:16:39Speaker 14: know what I mean.
- 2:16:40Speaker 5: Do you want some examples? Yeah? Okay, So we had
- 2:16:43Speaker 5: brock Bauer said he do anything for a steak, a
- 2:16:45Speaker 5: nice steak, dinner nice. We've also said who'said the dinosaurs?
- 2:16:49Speaker 5: Steve Ranella from me Eater. He's a guy up in
- 2:16:51Speaker 5: Montana hunts. He's like, I would love to go back
- 2:16:53Speaker 5: and be able to see the dinosaurs. And then there's
- 2:16:55Speaker 5: a low hanging fruit of clearly you guys want to
- 2:16:57Speaker 5: win a super Bowl this shit? Yeah, Clay, you know
- 2:17:01Speaker 5: it's Clay. I see I would love to win a lottery,
- 2:17:05Speaker 5: don't right. Imagine all the success you've had in life,
- 2:17:08Speaker 5: and like also just a little cherry on top. Oh
- 2:17:10Speaker 5: and by the way, you want the lottery.
- 2:17:11Speaker 7: See, I'm loky.
- 2:17:12Speaker 14: That's where my selfishness will come in though, because if
- 2:17:14Speaker 14: I won the lottery and then I hear somebody else
- 2:17:16Speaker 14: want it and now you gotta share it, I'm gonna
- 2:17:18Speaker 14: be like, bro.
- 2:17:20Speaker 7: That makes you sick, you know what I mean?
- 2:17:22Speaker 5: Like a billion dollars and you're like, I'm getting a
- 2:17:24Speaker 5: billion dollars, Like, actually, this person won now of a sudden,
- 2:17:27Speaker 5: five hundred million is kind of fucked up.
- 2:17:29Speaker 7: You're like, that's crazy. It's not to think about what
- 2:17:35Speaker 7: I would do, honestly, bro to go to space.
- 2:17:39Speaker 5: For real, to go to great answer. It's a phenomenal answer,
- 2:17:43Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like, Yeah, I mean look,
- 2:17:45Speaker 5: I mean you, hey, you are very wealthy. I'm sure
- 2:17:48Speaker 5: you know some people too. Who you know.
- 2:17:51Speaker 7: I mean, look, we played Thursday night prime video. I
- 2:17:53Speaker 7: know he got it.
- 2:17:56Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 2:17:57Speaker 7: I know he's got something out there, got say his hand.
- 2:18:01Speaker 5: With no doubt. Very nice to meet you. Have always
- 2:18:03Speaker 5: thought about space. I'm your guy, you know.

- 2:20:06Speaker 5: you sit there and you're like, I'm getting too old
- 2:20:08Speaker 5: for this right now? Right now? Are you starting to
- 2:20:13Speaker 5: feel a little bit more?
- 2:20:14Speaker 1: I mean, so I got I got the I got
- 2:20:17Speaker 1: a like a unique situation just the way my body
- 2:20:20Speaker 1: and my jeans are set up, so I can still
- 2:20:24Speaker 1: go out there and look like you're six. But I
- 2:20:26Speaker 1: recover like it's year thirteen, that's for sure.
- 2:20:28Speaker 5: No shit.
- 2:20:28Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like I can go out there
- 2:20:30Speaker 1: and still make it look like if you watch me
- 2:20:31Speaker 1: at practice, you'd be like, how's that? How's he still moving?
- 2:20:35Speaker 1: You know like that after all of these years. Yeah,
- 2:20:37Speaker 1: when I get home or when I wake up the
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: next day, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is this is
- 2:20:42Speaker 1: what you're thirteen supposed to feel like.
- 2:20:43Speaker 5: You know What's so interesting to me? Dude? When you
- 2:20:45Speaker 5: bringing up like how you can still make it you
- 2:20:47Speaker 5: look like you're six, Like when you watch Receiver and
- 2:20:50Speaker 5: your time at the Raiders. Yeah, and it was like
- 2:20:53Speaker 5: a down year from a statistically, and then you go
- 2:20:56Speaker 5: to the Jets, it's the same thing a lot of times.
- 2:20:59Speaker 5: The like the memory on how good receivers are so
- 2:21:02Speaker 5: short where guys like start getting to look past, but
- 2:21:05Speaker 5: even after like those two years, people are still like
- 2:21:08Speaker 5: Demanta AM's top five wide receiver.
- 2:21:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:21:10Speaker 5: Is that like a unique thing that I'm maybe just
- 2:21:12Speaker 5: seeing or is it because it feels like people are
- 2:21:16Speaker 5: so quick to be like, who's the next guy, Who's
- 2:21:17Speaker 5: the next guy, And you've even through years that haven't
- 2:21:19Speaker 5: gone the way you wanted, everyone's like, Yo, this is
- 2:21:22Speaker 5: still the fucking guy around here.
- 2:21:23Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I think that I play a position
- 2:21:26Speaker 1: where in today's game, like it's not just the like
- 2:21:29Speaker 1: the Big three, Big five, like how it was, you know,
- 2:21:31Speaker 1: like when I first got in the league, like Julio
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: ab like year in a year out, it was you know,
- 2:21:36Speaker 1: they were gonna be the Kings, and now it's just
- 2:21:38Speaker 1: you got guys coming in, Like I think really around
- 2:21:42Speaker 1: my year it was happened before I came in, but
- 2:21:44Speaker 1: twenty fourteen coming in with Odell and you know, he
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: kind of started something with just dudes coming in ready
- 2:21:49Speaker 1: to play right right away. Yeah, and just on a
- 2:21:51Speaker 1: little bit of a different level like that. But the
- 2:21:54Speaker 1: way and Sean always talks about it, I think the
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: ultimate measure of performance is consistency and over time being
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: able to do it and then like you said, having
- 2:22:03Speaker 1: eleven hundred yard year or twelve hundred yard year and
- 2:22:06Speaker 1: them saying, oh, yeah, he fell off. You know what
- 2:22:07Speaker 1: I mean, Like like that's that just speaks to you know,
- 2:22:10Speaker 1: being able to do it at a obviously setting a
- 2:22:13Speaker 1: high bar and then just being able to sustain it.
- 2:22:15Speaker 1: It means a lot to me to be able to
- 2:22:16Speaker 1: do that, and you know you can peak and do
- 2:22:19Speaker 1: all that stuff early, but I wouldn't trade the way
- 2:22:22Speaker 1: that my career is gone as far as you know,
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: the growth and starting maybe a little slower than some
- 2:22:26Speaker 1: of those guys and just finding a way to hold
- 2:22:28Speaker 1: on man and stay healthy and you know, have too
- 2:22:32Speaker 1: eight touchdown years where they're like, oh he sucks.
- 2:22:35Speaker 5: Yeah, like that's just bullshit. Mainstream media though, like looking
- 2:22:38Speaker 5: for the click. How a we're going to put this
- 2:22:40Speaker 5: so people can look at it and be.
- 2:22:41Speaker 1: Like, oh, we did and they want to crown a
- 2:22:42Speaker 1: new king every time, you know, So when when when.
- 2:22:45Speaker 5: Because it's the same thing. It's like it's like Lebron
- 2:22:47Speaker 5: and Tom Brady, like these guys are so successful for
- 2:22:50Speaker 5: so long, like we kind of get numbed to the
- 2:22:52Speaker 5: idea of looking at them and being like their greatness
- 2:22:54Speaker 5: is still at this level exactly, well, who else can
- 2:22:56Speaker 5: come up and catch them? That becomes a new conversation, which.
- 2:22:59Speaker 1: Is the same. I mean, you see, it's not just
- 2:23:00Speaker 1: football though, I mean it's music too. You know, soon
- 2:23:03Speaker 1: somebody gets popped. Now we're claiming that they're the best
- 2:23:05Speaker 1: that we ever heard, but while they're doing it, you know,
- 2:23:08Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, like you know, it's not
- 2:23:11Speaker 1: as good as it once was or whatever. You know,
- 2:23:13Speaker 1: even though playing receiver is crazy because it's so much
- 2:23:16Speaker 1: about circumstance. It's not just how good you are. It's
- 2:23:19Speaker 1: about you know, what the team looks like. You know,
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: we're is it the same play that the old line
- 2:23:24Speaker 1: blocked it up great? Or you know, you might block
- 2:23:27Speaker 1: it up great and then the receiver drops the ball
- 2:23:29Speaker 1: and you know, so it's just so much the most
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: team game that there is. So at the end of
- 2:23:32Speaker 1: the day, it's hard to just judge everything based off statistics.
- 2:23:35Speaker 1: But that's just the way it goes.
- 2:23:37Speaker 5: It's definitely especially for a skill position, like for me
- 2:23:39Speaker 5: as an offensive lineman, like I can still have my
- 2:23:42Speaker 5: successes regardless of whether you catch the ball or not.
- 2:23:45Speaker 5: With the running back does well, Like if my block
- 2:23:48Speaker 5: is good, it's just objectively that block is good and
- 2:23:50Speaker 5: that's it. So I can be successful or not successful
- 2:23:53Speaker 5: regardless of what the team is doing. Did you you
- 2:23:55Speaker 5: brought up Odell twenty fourteen class shot at us for
- 2:23:58Speaker 5: being in that class when you you say your your
- 2:24:02Speaker 5: career comes on a little bit slower, but the burn
- 2:24:04Speaker 5: is a little bit longer. Odell, he's I think he's
- 2:24:06Speaker 5: still trying to play, right, he's still trying to find him.
- 2:24:09Speaker 5: Oh he's with the Giants. Yeah, he's back with the Giants.
- 2:24:11Speaker 5: He's with the Giants, but he's kind of jumped around
- 2:24:13Speaker 5: a little bit and it didn't really play last year.
- 2:24:15Speaker 5: I'm out, I'm sitting here. Does that like when you
- 2:24:18Speaker 5: think about longevity and the career that you've had, did
- 2:24:22Speaker 5: you see it kind of going this way when you
- 2:24:24Speaker 5: started as a second round pick at a fres.
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, I definitely didn't. I mean I always felt
- 2:24:29Speaker 1: that way coming out, like you know, I led the
- 2:24:31Speaker 1: nation in all receiving categories my last year, and I
- 2:24:34Speaker 1: didn't even really think about the NFL until maybe seventy
- 2:24:37Speaker 1: five eighty percent way through that season. You know, I
- 2:24:39Speaker 1: was just being, you know, just having fun playing football,
- 2:24:42Speaker 1: like like being a kid out there. Yeah, And I
- 2:24:44Speaker 1: attribute a lot of my success really just to having
- 2:24:47Speaker 1: that mindset where I'm more where my feet are. And honestly,
- 2:24:51Speaker 1: the biggest thing is it's not just like, oh, I'm
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: trying to stay so focused, but I just truly feel
- 2:24:55Speaker 1: like it's hard to fully do what you want to
- 2:24:59Speaker 1: do as a receiver no matter what. Like I can
- 2:25:00Speaker 1: go out there in sixteen hundred yards and that doesn't
- 2:25:02Speaker 1: mean that I feel like I maximized it. Like who's
- 2:25:04Speaker 1: who's to say that sixteen hundred is like the blueprint
- 2:25:07Speaker 1: for like a great season. Yeah, you know. I mean
- 2:25:08Speaker 1: like I feel like, if I go and I can,
- 2:25:11Speaker 1: you know, actualize my potential every single year, it'd be
- 2:25:14Speaker 1: a lot more than that.
- 2:25:15Speaker 8: You know.
- 2:25:16Speaker 1: So when I leave out of each season, I'm always thinking, like,
- 2:25:19Speaker 1: you know, people are giving me kudos for what I did,
- 2:25:21Speaker 1: and I'm like, I appreciate that, but it was a
- 2:25:24Speaker 1: lot left out there still. Yeah, so having that mentality
- 2:25:26Speaker 1: is what I think led to me having a you know,
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: lengthy successful career.
- 2:25:31Speaker 5: Yeah. I feel like some of the best athletes have
- 2:25:33Speaker 5: ever been around. Like it's that that pursuit of one
- 2:25:35Speaker 5: percent better, being able to be delusional in a sense
- 2:25:38Speaker 5: of like you'll hear one comment somebody makes and that's
- 2:25:40Speaker 5: like the motivation you needed for that day, that year,
- 2:25:42Speaker 5: of that month, whatever it is. Julio came from the
- 2:25:46Speaker 5: Falcons to the Titans, and I remember him sitting with
- 2:25:49Speaker 5: AJ Brown. They're having a conversation. He said something along
- 2:25:51Speaker 5: the lines of the squeaky wheel gets the grease, talking
- 2:25:54Speaker 5: about like if you're not getting catches, you're not getting targets,
- 2:25:57Speaker 5: like be vocal about that. And for me personally, I
- 2:26:00Speaker 5: like the skill guys like I want the DBS to
- 2:26:02Speaker 5: talk show my wide receivers, but yo, I'm fucking open.
- 2:26:04Speaker 5: I want this. Like was that your approach early?
- 2:26:09Speaker 1: Is it?
- 2:26:09Speaker 4: Now?
- 2:26:10Speaker 5: Was it ever? Like were you a guy that's like
- 2:26:12Speaker 5: I need to be more vocal about like what I
- 2:26:14Speaker 5: want to do to contribute more Early?
- 2:26:17Speaker 1: No, it wasn't that way because I came in I
- 2:26:19Speaker 1: was playing with Jordi Jordi and Randall, and they were
- 2:26:21Speaker 1: both Pro Bowlers, And honestly, I was just kind of
- 2:26:23Speaker 1: appreciating not having to be the man right away to
- 2:26:27Speaker 1: kind of, you know, get my bearings. And I still
- 2:26:29Speaker 1: had to get better. Like I felt like I came
- 2:26:31Speaker 1: in raw and I was kind of drafted off of,
- 2:26:33Speaker 1: you know, putting up big numbers. I had twenty four
- 2:26:35Speaker 1: touchdowns my last year in college, so like it was
- 2:26:38Speaker 1: a lot of things like that statistically that.
- 2:26:43Speaker 5: It just says it't so casually too, like it's now
- 2:26:45Speaker 5: twenty four.
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying that because I feel like I wasn't
- 2:26:49Speaker 1: really ready to be like one of the best, you know,
- 2:26:52Speaker 1: used as like a top receiver in the league. Like
- 2:26:54Speaker 1: I just wasn't. I still had a lot of you know,
- 2:26:57Speaker 1: my roud tree was slammed bubble and go routes, so
- 2:27:00Speaker 1: I still had to like I had everything it took,
- 2:27:02Speaker 1: like in my body, but still had a lot of
- 2:27:05Speaker 1: learning to do and maturing as far as a football player.
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: So I was always a mature person. I feel like
- 2:27:11Speaker 1: I had to grow up fast, So I was ready
- 2:27:13Speaker 1: for what that part until. But as far as coming
- 2:27:16Speaker 1: in ready to just get one hundred and thirty, one
- 2:27:19Speaker 1: hundred and twenty targets like, No, it just wouldn't have
- 2:27:22Speaker 1: I don't think things would have panned out the way
- 2:27:23Speaker 1: they did it had I been used like that early,
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: because then you know, it's like, oh god, you know,
- 2:27:28Speaker 1: let's move on, like versus me coming in kind of
- 2:27:30Speaker 1: getting my feet wet, doing you know, enough to make
- 2:27:33Speaker 1: the fans be, you know, optimistic about the future. And
- 2:27:36Speaker 1: then my second year obviously, I mean not obviously because
- 2:27:39Speaker 1: not everybody knows, but I had a horrible year and
- 2:27:41Speaker 1: I was like one twelve out of one sixteen on
- 2:27:43Speaker 1: the PFF and we know how much PFF means.
- 2:27:46Speaker 5: Yeah, correct all the time.
- 2:27:48Speaker 1: Yeah, But I was playing like shit though, so it
- 2:27:51Speaker 1: wasn't like it was that far off. But I as
- 2:27:53Speaker 1: a young kid, it's hard to see that you think
- 2:27:56Speaker 1: there's four people worse than me in the league at
- 2:27:58Speaker 1: my position. That's kind of crazy. I was, I was
- 2:28:00Speaker 1: a pretty high draft pick for you to be critiquing
- 2:28:02Speaker 1: me like that. So then I had to kind of
- 2:28:04Speaker 1: take a look at the mirror and you know, get back,
- 2:28:06Speaker 1: get healthy because at twenty fifteen season, I wasn't healthy
- 2:28:09Speaker 1: the whole year basically, And then came back in twenty
- 2:28:12Speaker 1: sixteen and had twelve touchdowns and then you know the
- 2:28:15Speaker 1: rest of the history.
- 2:28:16Speaker 5: Yeah, how hard is it for you in that first
- 2:28:18Speaker 5: and second year and you talk to We talked about Odell,
- 2:28:20Speaker 5: and you see some of these other guys, young cats
- 2:28:22Speaker 5: like having success a little bit. I think Brendan Cooks
- 2:28:26Speaker 5: two as well, right, even j Yeah, a lot of
- 2:28:28Speaker 5: yeah guys are kind of like going off and I
- 2:28:32Speaker 5: if I was, if I'm a receiver, I wouldn't be
- 2:28:34Speaker 5: able to help. But feel like, not like fuck these guys,
- 2:28:36Speaker 5: but like I'm just as good as these cats. I'm
- 2:28:38Speaker 5: not getting the respect that deserve or something like someone's
- 2:28:41Speaker 5: going to tell you my head, like you know whatever,
- 2:28:42Speaker 5: that delusional chip is in our mind. From a competitive standpoint,
- 2:28:45Speaker 5: how did you handle that type of adversity in those
- 2:28:48Speaker 5: first couple of years.
- 2:28:50Speaker 1: I felt a little it was more fomo than it
- 2:28:52Speaker 1: was hating, because you know, it is like the hate
- 2:28:54Speaker 1: the player hate. They don't hate the player, hate the game,
- 2:28:56Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But it was more of
- 2:28:57Speaker 1: like everything that was happening with me was more about me,
- 2:29:00Speaker 1: so I couldn't really look at on the outside and
- 2:29:01Speaker 1: like really worry about that, and I feel like that
- 2:29:04Speaker 1: just was gonna stretch you out. It's like playing a
- 2:29:05Speaker 1: golf round and the dude which was just going bananas
- 2:29:08Speaker 1: and you can't get the ball off the ground, Like,
- 2:29:11Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be mad at you, and ruined the
- 2:29:13Speaker 1: whole vibe for everybody around here.
- 2:29:14Speaker 5: So I'm gonna quietly go behind a tree and scream
- 2:29:16Speaker 5: real quickly.
- 2:29:17Speaker 1: Scream, yeah, maybe snap the seven iron.
- 2:29:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:29:19Speaker 1: I don't know what that equates to in football, but
- 2:29:21Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe a clipboard or something like that. Yeah,
- 2:29:24Speaker 1: But but yeah, it was. It was definitely something that
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: kind of was was hard for me because I did
- 2:29:30Speaker 1: let my confidence get rocked a little bit by you
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: know you in college. At this point, I was just
- 2:29:35Speaker 1: everything I seen on social media was just all love,
- 2:29:37Speaker 1: you know, everything. Every week, I was going to twenty
- 2:29:40Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, one point fifty three touchdown,
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: four touchdowns, So we were coming out ready to you know,
- 2:29:45Speaker 1: party every every game.
- 2:29:46Speaker 5: Yeah, and you knew, like I'm getting that the first
- 2:29:48Speaker 5: fifteen plays that they're scripting, like twelve of those fifteen
- 2:29:51Speaker 5: are targeted towards you. Yeah, and now you're sitting in
- 2:29:53Speaker 5: a place where it's like, yeah, JORDI got Cobb in
- 2:29:56Speaker 5: the in that process with with Aaron from a leadership standpoint,
- 2:30:00Speaker 5: did he help you at all with that? Did he
- 2:30:02Speaker 5: kind of nurture? I hate? This is kind of the process.
- 2:30:03Speaker 5: I deal with a lot of adversity as far as
- 2:30:05Speaker 5: people have having opinions about me and how I'm playing,
- 2:30:07Speaker 5: Like this is how I handle it? Or was it
- 2:30:09Speaker 5: kind of hey buddy, you got a sink or swim
- 2:30:12Speaker 5: to figure it out.
- 2:30:12Speaker 1: It wasn't really either of those. It was more it
- 2:30:15Speaker 1: was it was more of the you know, it was
- 2:30:17Speaker 1: more putting an arm around and less like you know,
- 2:30:21Speaker 1: you got to you gotta kick it in the gear.
- 2:30:24Speaker 1: It was more like we you know, you see a
- 2:30:25Speaker 1: guy every day, like I'm confident most days, but then
- 2:30:28Speaker 1: you get there Sundays and that's where it really counts.
- 2:30:31Speaker 1: And I feel like that's when my confidence I wasn't
- 2:30:33Speaker 1: really exuding that they weren't feeling me on game days
- 2:30:35Speaker 1: because I'm not the type that's just gonna say I'm
- 2:30:37Speaker 1: the best, Like I got to do what I think
- 2:30:39Speaker 1: is necessary to do in order to you know, I
- 2:30:42Speaker 1: put it on wax. Then now it's you know, I
- 2:30:44Speaker 1: can even if you don't believe it. If I feel
- 2:30:45Speaker 1: it enough based off the work I'm putting in and
- 2:30:47Speaker 1: the you know, the the you know what's happening on
- 2:30:50Speaker 1: the field on Sundays, then I can have something to
- 2:30:52Speaker 1: fall back on and say, yeah, you don't need to
- 2:30:54Speaker 1: as long as I truly feel it. Same I mean
- 2:30:56Speaker 1: goes out here right now. It doesn't just happen because
- 2:30:58Speaker 1: my name is Davante Adams and I put on the
- 2:31:00Speaker 1: seventeen jersey, like I gotta go catch that that quick
- 2:31:03Speaker 1: go ball, you know, catch those those dagger routes and
- 2:31:05Speaker 1: all of that right now. And that's what's gonna give
- 2:31:07Speaker 1: me the confidence for you know, even this season in
- 2:31:10Speaker 1: year thirteen. So everything is about the work for me.
- 2:31:12Speaker 1: And that's basically what they did is they just told me. Jordi, Randall,
- 2:31:15Speaker 1: Aaron all the guys were like just be you. We
- 2:31:18Speaker 1: see it every day, like we know, and they were
- 2:31:19Speaker 1: more like trying to like not pay attention to it
- 2:31:23Speaker 1: versus you know, bring a bunch of attention, like hey,
- 2:31:25Speaker 1: catch the ball and you know, do this or you know,
- 2:31:27Speaker 1: don't slip on your ride. It's like what do you
- 2:31:29Speaker 1: what are you doing? Yeah, like just get out of
- 2:31:30Speaker 1: your own head. You're one of the best I've seen,
- 2:31:33Speaker 1: you know, as far as the way you can use
- 2:31:34Speaker 1: your body and maneuver, you know, beating leverages, whatever the
- 2:31:37Speaker 1: case may be. So I just had to basically put
- 2:31:40Speaker 1: enough together, which you know was gonna take actual work,
- 2:31:43Speaker 1: and get on the field. Twenty sixteen started off with
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: a good first game, and then once I started feeling
- 2:31:48Speaker 1: like myself again, and now you're out of your head
- 2:31:50Speaker 1: and out of your own way, and now it's just
- 2:31:51Speaker 1: you hurts him, and if I'm better than him, then
- 2:31:53Speaker 1: that's how this is gonna go.
- 2:31:55Speaker 5: Yeah, he said. When you watch a receiver from a
- 2:31:57Speaker 5: couple of years ago, you see you can obviously see
- 2:31:59Speaker 5: and your frustration on the Raiders. Then there's this fun,
- 2:32:03Speaker 5: exciting thing where you're Rogers on Pat McAfee show. You
- 2:32:06Speaker 5: kind of lean in, it goes vow. Everyone's absolutely loving it.
- 2:32:09Speaker 5: And it doesn't I see that. I'm like, oh shit,
- 2:32:11Speaker 5: Like they're about to get back together. That's amazing. The
- 2:32:13Speaker 5: Jets happen. It's like, you know, Jets just have a
- 2:32:17Speaker 5: way of just not getting it done. No disrespect all
- 2:32:19Speaker 5: the Jets fans out there. But then you're able to
- 2:32:21Speaker 5: come out here and like, how much for breath of
- 2:32:23Speaker 5: fresh air was it to be back in California being
- 2:32:25Speaker 5: around a guy like Sean McVay, who we had McDuffie
- 2:32:28Speaker 5: just talking about how this guy just comes up and
- 2:32:29Speaker 5: he puts bar after bar and a team We had
- 2:32:31Speaker 5: him a couple of months ago and he had me
- 2:32:33Speaker 5: running through a brick wall and dude, I can't do
- 2:32:35Speaker 5: shit anymore. But I'm thinking to myself, like this is
- 2:32:37Speaker 5: incredible to be a part of. So how was it
- 2:32:40Speaker 5: coming to the Rams seeing kind of how this franchise
- 2:32:44Speaker 5: operates having the success you did red zone receiving touches.
- 2:32:47Speaker 5: I think, what's the stat you'll know it, but it's
- 2:32:49Speaker 5: like you've led receiving touchdowns on three separate teams in
- 2:32:53Speaker 5: the NFL, I mean in the league, led the NFL
- 2:32:57Speaker 5: and receiving touchdown three separate teams in the league. Only
- 2:33:01Speaker 5: player ever, thank you? Also riding on as a huge
- 2:33:03Speaker 5: Packers fan. He loves you, My guy appreciate loves you.
- 2:33:07Speaker 5: How was that? Dude? How was it coming to the Rams?
- 2:33:12Speaker 1: Coming to the Rams?
- 2:33:13Speaker 9: Was it was?
- 2:33:14Speaker 1: It was a breath of fresh air? Man, because you know,
- 2:33:17Speaker 1: obviously I was grateful for my time in Vegas. I
- 2:33:19Speaker 1: really enjoyed it, loved playing in that city. Like the
- 2:33:22Speaker 1: love that I got from the outside was great. It
- 2:33:24Speaker 1: was I got a new, you know, view of what
- 2:33:27Speaker 1: the NFL can look like to being in a small
- 2:33:29Speaker 1: market like Green Bay, not really getting a whole lot
- 2:33:32Speaker 1: of like, which is definitely not why I do this,
- 2:33:34Speaker 1: but having you know, different marketing things that come just
- 2:33:37Speaker 1: seeing a different world almost is what it felt like
- 2:33:40Speaker 1: going to Vegas, and I appreciated that. And then it
- 2:33:43Speaker 1: was you know, obviously it was time to get out
- 2:33:45Speaker 1: of there, and then went to the Jets, and that
- 2:33:47Speaker 1: was more just to by time and feel like I
- 2:33:50Speaker 1: can at least be able to contribute and you know,
- 2:33:52Speaker 1: lace up knowing that I can do something. And then
- 2:33:54Speaker 1: coming here I was like, okay, well I've heard everything
- 2:33:56Speaker 1: about this place, heard everything about Sean. Let's let's see
- 2:33:59Speaker 1: how really really is. So in my first few months
- 2:34:02Speaker 1: I basically told the me, I was like, I don't
- 2:34:05Speaker 1: think I've ever heard somebody get spoke up the way
- 2:34:07Speaker 1: Sean has, and then me to come here and meet
- 2:34:10Speaker 1: him and basically see that as legit as what I've heard.
- 2:34:14Speaker 1: I mean, it was exactly what I needed, man, A
- 2:34:16Speaker 1: team full of hungry young dudes, really young dudes and
- 2:34:20Speaker 1: and really hungry dudes. And that just made it that
- 2:34:23Speaker 1: that made me fired up right away to come here,
- 2:34:24Speaker 1: and they welcomed me right away.
- 2:34:27Speaker 8: You know.
- 2:34:28Speaker 1: And it wasn't a team where I feel like I
- 2:34:29Speaker 1: first got to the Raiders. I had certain teammates that
- 2:34:34Speaker 1: never really got used to being teammates with me, like
- 2:34:36Speaker 1: almost treated me like a celebrity, like you know what
- 2:34:38Speaker 1: I mean the whole time.
- 2:34:39Speaker 5: Yeah versus, Like, but they know the name, they know
- 2:34:41Speaker 5: the status, they know the number exactly, like, oh, should
- 2:34:44Speaker 5: I get to play with him?
- 2:34:45Speaker 1: Yeah? And that and that never really left with some
- 2:34:47Speaker 1: of them. But then I got here and I was
- 2:34:49Speaker 1: in the locker room with Jared versus and He's roasted
- 2:34:51Speaker 1: me like they two like you in there, like you know,
- 2:34:53Speaker 1: and I was like, this is a this is the
- 2:34:55Speaker 1: type of environment I love, you know, A real like
- 2:34:58Speaker 1: playful environment. Got I love spending time with each other.
- 2:35:01Speaker 1: You know, I'll hang out with the long snapper as
- 2:35:03Speaker 1: much as I will to wideouts and sit down at
- 2:35:05Speaker 1: the table. It don't matter who's there. You know, I'm
- 2:35:06Speaker 1: not like grabbing lunch, like with my guys. You know,
- 2:35:09Speaker 1: it's like it's just it's one of those teams where
- 2:35:11Speaker 1: we just mess really well. And I mean you obviously
- 2:35:14Speaker 1: see the talent that we have, so and then the
- 2:35:16Speaker 1: coaching staff, you know matches, you know what we have
- 2:35:19Speaker 1: in the locker room as well. So it just was
- 2:35:21Speaker 1: just all around good deal from me.
- 2:35:22Speaker 5: You brought up Jay Verse obviously he's now in the
- 2:35:25Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns, and McDuffie was talking about he just kind
- 2:35:28Speaker 5: of got here. He's like he hears hey, Miles Garrett's
- 2:35:31Speaker 5: coming to the Rams. He's like kind of juiced up.
- 2:35:33Speaker 5: But it looks around the room and everybody, everybody's kind
- 2:35:37Speaker 5: of like sad, because like Jared Versus seems like a
- 2:35:40Speaker 5: guy who's like a part of culture, a part of
- 2:35:41Speaker 5: the family. Like what was that like for you? And
- 2:35:44Speaker 5: that relationship and watching it out clearly is a piece
- 2:35:46Speaker 5: of the business that everyone understands. But when it happens
- 2:35:48Speaker 5: in real time right in front of you and you're
- 2:35:50Speaker 5: getting the reigning defensive player of the year, Like, how
- 2:35:53Speaker 5: was that for the team?
- 2:35:54Speaker 1: I mean, I think everybody it was. It was mixed
- 2:35:57Speaker 1: feelings for sure. I mean, because you hear Miles Garrett
- 2:35:59Speaker 1: in the first you do is your eyes get big
- 2:36:01Speaker 1: and you start getting excited, and then you think, well,
- 2:36:03Speaker 1: what's you know, what's what? Yeah, exactly, and then you
- 2:36:07Speaker 1: you hear that, and it's like almost unbelievable because of
- 2:36:11Speaker 1: what a player he is, what a presence he is
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: for our team, energy he's got and you know, he's
- 2:36:15Speaker 1: like the mascot of the team. Damn there. Like he's
- 2:36:18Speaker 1: like one of those dudes like great for the team
- 2:36:20Speaker 1: and just just like a just a happy soul man.
- 2:36:24Speaker 1: Like I really enjoyed him in the time that he
- 2:36:26Speaker 1: was here. But then you know, it's like we also
- 2:36:29Speaker 1: got to That's just how this game goes. Like, you know,
- 2:36:31Speaker 1: I've left teams and I'm sure guys were sad, and
- 2:36:33Speaker 1: then you know, you bringing somebody new, it's time to
- 2:36:35Speaker 1: love up on them and make them feel a part
- 2:36:37Speaker 1: of the team. So it's it's a tough one, but
- 2:36:39Speaker 1: I mean when it's Miles Garrett, it makes it a
- 2:36:40Speaker 1: little easier.
- 2:36:41Speaker 5: Yeah. Is there a physique that beats Miles Garrett in
- 2:36:43Speaker 5: the NFL? Uh No, I'll just admire.
- 2:36:46Speaker 1: Him for I don't think. I mean, maybe Matthew.
- 2:36:49Speaker 5: Matthews just a Clay Matthews. He had a little something
- 2:36:54Speaker 5: to him.
- 2:36:55Speaker 1: But even different. Clay was big, but he was like
- 2:36:58Speaker 1: he wasn't.
- 2:37:00Speaker 5: I get it.
- 2:37:00Speaker 7: I'm with you.
- 2:37:01Speaker 5: I'm with you on that. You said, it's ton Tan.
- 2:37:04Speaker 5: You got to pick one one of them. Yeah, and
- 2:37:06Speaker 5: if you got a couple, brother, it's gonna be all good.
- 2:37:08Speaker 1: No, Miles got a few more shadows, that's for sure.
- 2:37:13Speaker 5: There was a photo that we always would post anytimes
- 2:37:16Speaker 5: Miles Garrett news would come out. I don't know if
- 2:37:18Speaker 5: have you seen the press conference photo of him and
- 2:37:20Speaker 5: the Grays. No shut Jackie, mind pulling that up for
- 2:37:23Speaker 5: us real quick. I wish we had a monitor.
- 2:37:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, you gave it.
- 2:37:27Speaker 5: Got the Grays on. He's sitting there, no shirt, and
- 2:37:30Speaker 5: it's a little bit like, what are you trying to do?
- 2:37:33Speaker 5: Letting he's letting everybody know what time it is. That's
- 2:37:36Speaker 5: an alien.
- 2:37:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
- 2:37:42Speaker 5: Long enough fause to feel you have to say something
- 2:37:43Speaker 5: about it.
- 2:37:44Speaker 1: Yeah, any anytime, anytime you put the Grays on, it
- 2:37:47Speaker 1: shows you're a pretty confident man. Yeah, you know what
- 2:37:49Speaker 1: I mean. Grays no shirt, that's that's.
- 2:37:51Speaker 5: The seeing off. It's alignment with the grays on. You're like, buddy, Yeah,
- 2:37:54Speaker 5: like darker colors for.
- 2:37:56Speaker 1: Sure, for sure. Yeah, definitely don't sweat at all while
- 2:37:59Speaker 1: you're wearing them.
- 2:38:00Speaker 5: Down exactly looking like a suit co button. I have
- 2:38:03Speaker 5: a fun question for you here, Start bench cut, Rogers Stafford,
- 2:38:08Speaker 5: Derek Carr?
- 2:38:09Speaker 1: Are we doing this? Are we putting this on online?
- 2:38:12Speaker 5: This will no one watches the show, so this probably
- 2:38:14Speaker 5: won't catch any traction.
- 2:38:15Speaker 1: Start bench cut.
- 2:38:18Speaker 5: We're gonna do Marry fuck kill.
- 2:38:21Speaker 1: I almost would rather that, Okay, Mary kiss Kill. Yeah, okay, no,
- 2:38:27Speaker 1: I do start bench cut. Okay, start Matthew Stafford.
- 2:38:34Speaker 5: So that is, by the way, the right answer.
- 2:38:36Speaker 1: Bench Derek Carr because he's not playing football anymore, fair enough,
- 2:38:39Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know what he's doing. And
- 2:38:42Speaker 1: then Aaron Rodgers, I mean, greatest thrower of the football ever.
- 2:38:46Speaker 1: I mean, we'll put him on the bench. He's he's
- 2:38:51Speaker 1: a little older now.
- 2:38:52Speaker 5: I mean if he comes off the bench too, you
- 2:38:54Speaker 5: know you're in a good spot.
- 2:38:55Speaker 1: We are one hundred percent covered. I mean, he may
- 2:38:57Speaker 1: he may not be too happy coming off the bench.
- 2:39:00Speaker 1: It He'll get in there and get it done, that's
- 2:39:02Speaker 1: for sure.
- 2:39:02Speaker 5: Have you ever been have you ever thought about possibly
- 2:39:07Speaker 5: doing ayahuasca?
- 2:39:10Speaker 1: Not once, Bro, I'm still scared to like, yeahn't. I've
- 2:39:15Speaker 1: never even put like a dip in my lip. Bro,
- 2:39:17Speaker 1: I'm not about to go and yeah, like seeing you look.
- 2:39:19Speaker 5: At the smelling salt before a game and you're like,
- 2:39:21Speaker 5: probably not too much.
- 2:39:22Speaker 1: I just started those like two years ago.
- 2:39:24Speaker 5: How awesome.
- 2:39:25Speaker 1: And I only do it when I really need it,
- 2:39:27Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Sometimes you feel like you
- 2:39:28Speaker 1: need that. But I'm not a guy that's like Aaron,
- 2:39:30Speaker 1: like packs him in his nose and just takes a
- 2:39:32Speaker 1: deep breath. I'm not one of those.
- 2:39:33Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a little psychotic.
- 2:39:35Speaker 12: I was.
- 2:39:35Speaker 5: I was very similar to that. I have a very
- 2:39:37Speaker 5: addictive personality, though over the top. You don't seem that way.
- 2:39:40Speaker 5: You seem very controlled, discipline and pointed.
- 2:39:42Speaker 1: I like to think, so yeah, yeah, So no ayahuasca
- 2:39:44Speaker 1: for you. No, I'm gonna skip out on it. If
- 2:39:46Speaker 1: I if I need to do some soul searching like that,
- 2:39:49Speaker 1: then I don't know. I might need to just go
- 2:39:50Speaker 1: to uh. I don't know wherever they go for soul searching.
- 2:39:54Speaker 5: Where would you think they go in this world?
- 2:39:56Speaker 1: I was gonna say something, but I felt like it
- 2:39:58Speaker 1: was gonna make me sound dumb.
- 2:40:00Speaker 5: Also, I'm dumb with you.
- 2:40:02Speaker 1: I was gonna say, visit the Dalai Lama. Is that
- 2:40:05Speaker 1: dumb to say?
- 2:40:05Speaker 4: No?
- 2:40:05Speaker 5: I think that's that's the move. I actually don't know
- 2:40:07Speaker 5: who the dollar Lama is.
- 2:40:08Speaker 1: I don't neither, but Aaron met him.
- 2:40:10Speaker 5: Oh for real.
- 2:40:10Speaker 1: Yeah, he has a picture with him.
- 2:40:11Speaker 5: I feel like the dollar Lama holds the dollar lom.
- 2:40:13Speaker 1: I thought the Dallari Lama was like six hundred years later.
- 2:40:16Speaker 5: It's like an old thing. Okay, I'm glad.
- 2:40:18Speaker 1: Is it a is it like a pope thing? Whereas
- 2:40:20Speaker 1: a new dollar Lama human being?
- 2:40:22Speaker 5: Is it a religious thing? He's ninety one? And is
- 2:40:26Speaker 5: there has there been more than one dollary Lama?
- 2:40:27Speaker 1: That's enough?
- 2:40:29Speaker 5: Yeah, because hey, I no joke, like you're worried about
- 2:40:32Speaker 5: something dumbing. I feel the same way like I hear
- 2:40:34Speaker 5: about Dolly Lama and I'm like, I feel like this
- 2:40:35Speaker 5: is like a revolving title it is.
- 2:40:38Speaker 1: I guess the pope it has to be something like
- 2:40:40Speaker 1: that where he's like, this is the new dollar Lama. Yeah,
- 2:40:43Speaker 1: but I think we both are pretty dumb.
- 2:40:46Speaker 5: Okay, Hey, come on, that's us, dude, And the thing too,
- 2:40:50Speaker 5: is like if we don't, if we were a little
- 2:40:51Speaker 5: scared to be embarrassed, we would have never gotten that answer.
- 2:40:53Speaker 1: We would have never known my whole life. And we
- 2:40:55Speaker 1: did show that we got pretty good common sense.
- 2:40:57Speaker 5: Yeah, like Dolai Lama has been around for a minut Yeah,
- 2:41:00Speaker 5: I'll take that. What else do we got, dude, I'm
- 2:41:03Speaker 5: trying to think of any things I would miss. No, dude,
- 2:41:05Speaker 5: we have one lesson. Oh true? So Clay. Yeah, Clay's
- 2:41:10Speaker 5: been in the bust and universe with us for a minute.
- 2:41:11Speaker 5: He's in the locker room. Clay will tell you he's
- 2:41:13Speaker 5: the reason why the locker room is so successful.
- 2:41:15Speaker 1: Clay Matthews. Yes, oh man, Yeah, wait to answer this question.
- 2:41:19Speaker 1: I've never told this story before.
- 2:41:20Speaker 5: Okay, I won't even ask a question. Then tell me
- 2:41:22Speaker 5: a story about Clay matt.
- 2:41:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta, I gotta just take over Clay. I
- 2:41:27Speaker 1: hope you watching this, bro, because you're gonna appreciate this. Yeah,
- 2:41:31Speaker 1: you're gonna appreciate this. So Clay, by the way, I
- 2:41:34Speaker 1: absolutely love Clay Matthews. Like that's me and Clay. We
- 2:41:38Speaker 1: got to a really good spot and we still we
- 2:41:41Speaker 1: still speak, not all the time, but we we still speak.
- 2:41:43Speaker 1: I talked to him like right when I signed here
- 2:41:45Speaker 1: and a couple of times since I've been here. But
- 2:41:49Speaker 1: first day conditioning like of like the O TA period
- 2:41:52Speaker 1: when the rookies get there and get like you know,
- 2:41:54Speaker 1: it takes a little time before they're with the vest.
- 2:41:56Speaker 1: Vests start like April or whatever, and then we end
- 2:41:58Speaker 1: up coming in like after the draft. So the first
- 2:42:01Speaker 1: time that we're doing like conditioning stuff together as a
- 2:42:04Speaker 1: as a team with all the rookies and everybody sitting
- 2:42:06Speaker 1: around in the indoor and I'm on the ground like
- 2:42:09Speaker 1: rolling out, and I was like, I'm gonna just pop
- 2:42:11Speaker 1: down right here. It's like I'm, you know, a couple
- 2:42:13Speaker 1: of guys. So I sit down right there and I'm
- 2:42:15Speaker 1: rolling out. We like talking and I look over at Clay.
- 2:42:17Speaker 1: I go, Clay, this is like two minutes before we
- 2:42:20Speaker 1: started a conditioning test. I was like, Clay, what year
- 2:42:22Speaker 1: is this for you? He goes, he's rolling out. He goes,
- 2:42:28Speaker 1: just count my Pro bowls. I'll tell you how long
- 2:42:29Speaker 1: I've been in the league. Honest to god. He said that.
- 2:42:36Speaker 5: To that is like I can one thousand percent see Clay.
- 2:42:40Speaker 5: Shame that so from that, that's the most clay thing ever.
- 2:42:44Speaker 1: Bro. And he that looked like he damn it, didn't
- 2:42:47Speaker 1: want to answer it, Like I was like, am I
- 2:42:48Speaker 1: about to get ignored right now? I'm like and I'm thinking,
- 2:42:50Speaker 1: like that's like people don't whether I just met a
- 2:42:54Speaker 1: dude like whatever, people don't treat me like that. Like
- 2:42:57Speaker 1: you know, my dad told me when I was young,
- 2:42:58Speaker 1: he was like, you teach people how to treat you.
- 2:43:00Speaker 1: So the way I moved my energy is that of
- 2:43:04Speaker 1: somebody that's not gonna just take some bullshit or be
- 2:43:06Speaker 1: treated any type of way. So even in that moment,
- 2:43:08Speaker 1: I wasn't like, you know, for for a lack of
- 2:43:11Speaker 1: I won't use that term. Actually that's that's bad. But
- 2:43:14Speaker 1: I wasn't glazing or nothing like that, you know what
- 2:43:17Speaker 1: I mean. For the new words, I think I think
- 2:43:20Speaker 1: I might know what I was getting ready to say
- 2:43:21Speaker 1: before that, I wasn't. I wasn't glazing him at all.
- 2:43:24Speaker 1: It was just more like chop it up and I'm
- 2:43:26Speaker 1: trying to talk to the big dog. Whatnot know? I mean,
- 2:43:29Speaker 1: like should I'm a big dog, Yeah, I'm I'm I'm
- 2:43:32Speaker 1: a smaller dog than I was. But you know, I'm
- 2:43:34Speaker 1: still a big dog. What years is for you? Just
- 2:43:39Speaker 1: count the Pro Bowls, Bro, that's just counter count. That's
- 2:43:43Speaker 1: exactly what he said. Count my probos and I'll tell
- 2:43:45Speaker 1: you how long I've been in the league. And I
- 2:43:47Speaker 1: didn't even respond to it. I just go and then
- 2:43:50Speaker 1: probably didn't speak to Clay again for maybe two months
- 2:43:53Speaker 1: after that. I didn't speak to the word. I just
- 2:43:56Speaker 1: was walking by him everything and then you know, and
- 2:43:58Speaker 1: he's the type like this was like early like old
- 2:44:01Speaker 1: NFL too, like when we got in. This was like
- 2:44:03Speaker 1: old vibes, like you were still scared to be on
- 2:44:05Speaker 1: the team, like when you got in the league, Like
- 2:44:07Speaker 1: you know, scared is not the right word, but you're
- 2:44:10Speaker 1: definitely not walking in You walk in here as a
- 2:44:13Speaker 1: rookie now with the team we have like like you
- 2:44:16Speaker 1: don't even like you might be initially because you're in
- 2:44:18Speaker 1: the league, but then it's gonna take two days before
- 2:44:20Speaker 1: you feel like you're part of the team. Like it's
- 2:44:21Speaker 1: a different type of vibe. It's not no hazing, like
- 2:44:24Speaker 1: we're not sitting here.
- 2:44:25Speaker 4: You know.
- 2:44:25Speaker 1: It may be like, Bro, you're close over there, bring
- 2:44:27Speaker 1: me some waters or grab towels for guys. After the
- 2:44:29Speaker 1: shower or something. But that's not hazing. That's just like rookie,
- 2:44:32Speaker 1: very minimal rookie duties and stuff like that. That's what
- 2:44:34Speaker 1: they come in. But when I got in, I'm like thinking,
- 2:44:37Speaker 1: like not, I was not comfortable for the first probably
- 2:44:41Speaker 1: three weeks, Like I was in that thing, like trying
- 2:44:43Speaker 1: to just find out who I was in this league.
- 2:44:45Speaker 5: That's where you go to the kitchen and you're like,
- 2:44:47Speaker 5: who are my people? I need to find them in
- 2:44:48Speaker 5: a corner.
- 2:44:49Speaker 1: Someone correct, No, it was rookies. It was all rookies.
- 2:44:51Speaker 1: Everybody who I was like, did a rookie mini camp
- 2:44:53Speaker 1: with everybody that was still with the team at that point.
- 2:44:56Speaker 1: That's who I was vibbing with. I wasn't even trying
- 2:44:57Speaker 1: to do that. Especially after that point. I didn't even
- 2:44:59Speaker 1: really they talked to Aaron that much because of that.
- 2:45:01Speaker 1: I was like, this is what the stars are doing
- 2:45:03Speaker 1: in the league.
- 2:45:04Speaker 5: Oh so because of Clay it turned you off to Aaron.
- 2:45:07Speaker 1: Will not turn me off, but it just made me
- 2:45:09Speaker 1: more reluctant to approach him and to do certain things.
- 2:45:12Speaker 1: You know, where I'm I was like, I'll speak when
- 2:45:14Speaker 1: I'm spoken to let me just show them I'm locked in.
- 2:45:16Speaker 1: Maybe that's what they're looking for. I'm like, maybe the
- 2:45:18Speaker 1: rookie that's talking too much already, like just in my
- 2:45:21Speaker 1: head thinking too much about it. Yeah, and it took
- 2:45:24Speaker 1: some time. I think I had to make make a
- 2:45:25Speaker 1: few plays. And then Clay, I think the first time
- 2:45:28Speaker 1: we spoke, we were sitting at the table together and
- 2:45:29Speaker 1: he joined that table and it was but it was
- 2:45:32Speaker 1: some other guy I think Aaron was there maybe copy.
- 2:45:35Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, if they're gonna sit with him,
- 2:45:39Speaker 1: I said, yeah, So he sat down.
- 2:45:43Speaker 5: He sat down and Clay is pulling his fucking teeth
- 2:45:46Speaker 5: out right now listening to this clip.
- 2:45:48Speaker 1: But like I said, the more I got to know him,
- 2:45:51Speaker 1: and I think like I brought up the whole old
- 2:45:53Speaker 1: NFL because I was kind of like just the way
- 2:45:55Speaker 1: things were at that point, Like not everybody was like that,
- 2:45:57Speaker 1: but like even like bj Rogie, who's like one of
- 2:45:59Speaker 1: the nicest dude in the world, Like we're walking down
- 2:46:01Speaker 1: the hall and it's not like he was like, Yo,
- 2:46:03Speaker 1: what up? Bj Roger, Like, you know, he's mined his
- 2:46:06Speaker 1: business and then you know, if organically the opportunity to
- 2:46:08Speaker 1: present itself for us to have a you know, chop
- 2:46:11Speaker 1: it up or whatever, then that would happen. But I
- 2:46:13Speaker 1: wasn't like especially at I mean, I'm with Julius Peppers.
- 2:46:15Speaker 1: This is my rookie team, Julius Peppers, Jordan Nelson, Randall Cobb,
- 2:46:20Speaker 1: tj Lang, Josh Sitton, Dave Botiari and he was still
- 2:46:25Speaker 1: a young cat at that point. He was like older
- 2:46:27Speaker 1: than me. Yeah so, but he was you know, Brian Blaga,
- 2:46:32Speaker 1: and Brian was an asshole. He might have the biggest
- 2:46:34Speaker 1: asshole at that point. Brian's who I love the most
- 2:46:37Speaker 1: though out of all of them at this point, I
- 2:46:38Speaker 1: don't know. It's just like we connected, like doing all
- 2:46:41Speaker 1: the derbys that we do with their every year we
- 2:46:43Speaker 1: started going to Derby Live. We were in the same house.
- 2:46:45Speaker 5: Oh so that this is a take time. Yeah, it
- 2:46:47Speaker 5: took time because I remember training at IMG and brandon'ton
- 2:46:50Speaker 5: Florida and that's where Bloga would go, and I remember
- 2:46:53Speaker 5: just being around him. He was so grumpy the whole
- 2:46:55Speaker 5: time and everyone just give me that's how Bologa is.
- 2:46:57Speaker 5: But I remember thinking to myself, like he's an off
- 2:46:59Speaker 5: time and I'm an off the lineman. If this is
- 2:47:01Speaker 5: what it's like, Bro I'm fucked, like this is, this
- 2:47:03Speaker 5: is I'm not going to fit it in any room.
- 2:47:05Speaker 5: It's just a lot. You strike me as a guy
- 2:47:07Speaker 5: that doesn't didn't handle rookie hazing very well.
- 2:47:11Speaker 8: Me.
- 2:47:11Speaker 1: Yeah no, And I didn't really get hazed, but it
- 2:47:14Speaker 1: was more like there was a lot of duties and
- 2:47:17Speaker 1: I and I, but I did everything like I was
- 2:47:18Speaker 1: a dude that was like I'm not gonna look like
- 2:47:21Speaker 1: I'm like I'm worried about looking like a pussy or
- 2:47:23Speaker 1: something because I just didn't look at it like that.
- 2:47:25Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a rookie coming in like whatever. These
- 2:47:27Speaker 1: dudes know, if we want to fight, we can do that,
- 2:47:29Speaker 1: like a problem.
- 2:47:32Speaker 5: That's like, that's a textbook wide receiver. I feel like
- 2:47:34Speaker 5: every year on the Titans, like the office and be
- 2:47:37Speaker 5: like yo, doe what I have to and then the
- 2:47:38Speaker 5: wide receivers like, man, don't don't funk around when it
- 2:47:40Speaker 5: comes to the dinner, like, don't spend too much money,
- 2:47:43Speaker 5: don't touch my hair, and if you guys want to box,
- 2:47:45Speaker 5: we can box.
- 2:47:47Speaker 1: Rookie year at that point still, so I wasn't really
- 2:47:50Speaker 1: too worried. They could They could have cut it if
- 2:47:51Speaker 1: they wanted it, but if I would have had dreads,
- 2:47:53Speaker 1: it would have been a no go. But they did.
- 2:47:55Speaker 1: This is where I realized that Green Bay wasn't really
- 2:47:58Speaker 1: like a hazing place Jordi and then I end up
- 2:48:00Speaker 1: taking over this, but Jordy had me. You know, they
- 2:48:03Speaker 1: take you to like the one steakhouse in Green Bay,
- 2:48:05Speaker 1: and we go there and basically have them bring you
- 2:48:08Speaker 1: a bill we eat or whatever, and they heavy bring
- 2:48:10Speaker 1: your bill. They bring out like a bunch of wine bottles,
- 2:48:12Speaker 1: alcohol and stuff and sit it next to Jordi and Randall,
- 2:48:15Speaker 1: and I'm like, knowing that this is my rookie, then
- 2:48:17Speaker 1: I'm like what is going on? And then they go, well,
- 2:48:20Speaker 1: we're all good. You can grab the tab. So they
- 2:48:22Speaker 1: go make a fake tab of like twenty five grand
- 2:48:25Speaker 1: yes and bring it out and it's like all these
- 2:48:26Speaker 1: expensive bottles, those are limited you know whatever, and their
- 2:48:28Speaker 1: bottles they're about to put back. So I have no idea.
- 2:48:31Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm paying for this and they're taking They
- 2:48:33Speaker 1: got fake to go plates and stuff for their families,
- 2:48:35Speaker 1: like like trays and shit they're bringing out. So I'm like, bro,
- 2:48:38Speaker 1: come on.
- 2:48:39Speaker 5: Abro, You're a rookie and this is pre and il.
- 2:48:41Speaker 5: So you're probably calling the bank being like, hey, I need.
- 2:48:43Speaker 1: To financial Yeah, like I'm texting them, I'm like y'all
- 2:48:47Speaker 1: a pun like, bro, please move some money to my
- 2:48:52Speaker 1: checking right now, because right now that is the signing
- 2:48:55Speaker 1: bone is hit yet, Like, Bro, we are We're about
- 2:48:57Speaker 1: to be in trouble. Twenty five k. I'm like, bro,
- 2:49:00Speaker 1: even spent. I don't think i'd spent eight thousand dollars
- 2:49:04Speaker 1: at one time at that point.
- 2:49:05Speaker 5: No shot, No, yeah, some Panini gave me ten thousand
- 2:49:08Speaker 5: dollars to sound like three thousand centatures and I was like, buddy,
- 2:49:11Speaker 5: I fucking made it. I made it.
- 2:49:13Speaker 1: Broll's nothing better than a Paninian tops right right out. Yeah,
- 2:49:17Speaker 1: that's that was our our nil.
- 2:49:18Speaker 5: I feel like the feeling of it, but it's like
- 2:49:21Speaker 5: the minute you get out, Well, you were at Fresno.
- 2:49:22Speaker 5: I was neither one of us were in the SEC
- 2:49:24Speaker 5: because I know some dudes. Oh yeah, those envelopes were crazy.
- 2:49:28Speaker 5: I had heard a rumor about Stafford. He's not coming
- 2:49:30Speaker 5: on the show, but you should ask him this. I
- 2:49:32Speaker 5: heard a rumor that his junior year he ended up believing.
- 2:49:35Speaker 5: But there was five hundred thousand dollars in his mailbox
- 2:49:38Speaker 5: in Athens, Georgia for him to stay for one more year,
- 2:49:41Speaker 5: and he ended up leaving anyway. And I heard that
- 2:49:43Speaker 5: from him he kept it. No, I think he just
- 2:49:45Speaker 5: left it there, left it. That's that's what I heard.
- 2:49:47Speaker 5: That's from another Georgia bulldog told me that, And I
- 2:49:50Speaker 5: would love to get some confirmation on that.
- 2:49:52Speaker 1: I'll see what's up with that. He'll tell me.
- 2:49:54Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel enough time like there's yeah, statue limitations.
- 2:49:58Speaker 5: When did you say that I've never spent more than
- 2:50:00Speaker 5: eight thousand dollars at that point? When did you feel
- 2:50:02Speaker 5: comfortable like you're wearing a nice watch. I see the
- 2:50:05Speaker 5: I see the bracelet, like you have nice things. Now,
- 2:50:09Speaker 5: when did you officially feel comfortable in the idea of
- 2:50:11Speaker 5: like I'm gonna I'm gonna treat myself a little bit.
- 2:50:13Speaker 1: Well, brother, I made two hundred million dollars now, I
- 2:50:19Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know.
- 2:50:20Speaker 5: Clayton Matthews is now on the podcast.
- 2:50:22Speaker 1: That's why you see this, Yeah, And it's I'm a
- 2:50:25Speaker 1: little more comfortable now doing than what I was then.
- 2:50:29Speaker 1: And I don't think that I'm like I still now
- 2:50:32Speaker 1: if I go, like get myself a new watch or
- 2:50:34Speaker 1: something like that. Like I still cringe doing that, Like
- 2:50:37Speaker 1: I don't like seeing that much money leave. But it
- 2:50:39Speaker 1: depends on what it's spent on. Like if it's a
- 2:50:41Speaker 1: time piece like this, like this, uh chocolate protect the leap,
- 2:50:46Speaker 1: I could not let you know, but if I wanted
- 2:50:51Speaker 1: to go sell this right now, I'm making money right now, right,
- 2:50:53Speaker 1: that's exactly. So I've come to spend more money when
- 2:50:59Speaker 1: it's money in the bank. Yeah, you know what I mean,
- 2:51:01Speaker 1: Like I still I've spent maybe one percent of the
- 2:51:07Speaker 1: money that I've made in the league. Like I've spent it.
- 2:51:09Speaker 1: I've saved everything, you know what I mean. I don't.
- 2:51:11Speaker 1: I don't spend a lot of money and I make enough.
- 2:51:13Speaker 1: I've been blessed to play receiver, which you bring in
- 2:51:15Speaker 1: some stuff off off. Yeah, and you know, I've been
- 2:51:19Speaker 1: able to kind of just just stack so that that
- 2:51:21Speaker 1: makes me feel a little bit more comfortable. When I
- 2:51:22Speaker 1: decided to do something, what's.
- 2:51:23Speaker 5: The biggest thing you spent money on that You're like,
- 2:51:26Speaker 5: I shouldn't have fucking done that, that's not the move.
- 2:51:30Speaker 5: Twenty fourteen, I bought a house. Is when entourage is heavy,
- 2:51:34Speaker 5: and so I had like three or four of my
- 2:51:35Speaker 5: buddies from high school I come live with me. Yeah,
- 2:51:37Speaker 5: So I bought a house that was like on a
- 2:51:38Speaker 5: hill for like it was like five hundred thousand dollars.
- 2:51:41Speaker 5: It wasn't like crazy, But when I sold it, I
- 2:51:43Speaker 5: think I sold it for like three fifty because the
- 2:51:45Speaker 5: house was clearly not worth five hundred. I was just
- 2:51:48Speaker 5: wanted a big enough house and it was a piece
- 2:51:50Speaker 5: of shit. And I remember just one be like how
- 2:51:52Speaker 5: dumb was I to buy this and then do that
- 2:51:55Speaker 5: and just lose one hundred fifty thousand dollars on it.
- 2:51:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty I'm a pretty calculated dude. Like I
- 2:51:59Speaker 1: don't make a lot of decisions when it comes to
- 2:52:01Speaker 1: spending money, especially like big amounts of money. But I'll
- 2:52:03Speaker 1: probably have to say one of my cars that I got,
- 2:52:06Speaker 1: which was not wasn't even near like the more expensive
- 2:52:09Speaker 1: I just think that I was not as vetted with
- 2:52:12Speaker 1: cars as I thought I did at that moment. So no,
- 2:52:15Speaker 1: it was it was a Maserati grants aarisma, and I
- 2:52:21Speaker 1: just feel like it wasn't. It wasn't what I thought
- 2:52:25Speaker 1: it was. Like in my mind, I'd know about Masi's
- 2:52:27Speaker 1: the whole time, and then when I got it, it
- 2:52:29Speaker 1: was just so underwhelming. And my agent had bought me
- 2:52:32Speaker 1: a Panamera when I got out, like when I got drafted,
- 2:52:35Speaker 1: so that's what I traded the pan America for that,
- 2:52:37Speaker 1: and I felt like it was like the worst decision
- 2:52:39Speaker 1: I made. So I ended up stupaling and pay a
- 2:52:41Speaker 1: little bit more for it because of the the it
- 2:52:42Speaker 1: was a new one and all of that, and then
- 2:52:44Speaker 1: I got rid of it after a year. So I
- 2:52:45Speaker 1: feel like that was the bad decision. But there haven't
- 2:52:47Speaker 1: been too many of them, thank god.
- 2:52:49Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like you've been really good with your money.
- 2:52:51Speaker 5: Less than one percent I treated in a vehicle to
- 2:52:53Speaker 5: get another one, like that was a bad idea.
- 2:52:55Speaker 1: Yeah. My financial advisor is like the most strict person,
- 2:52:59Speaker 1: like more strict that my parents were on me. Like
- 2:53:01Speaker 1: so when I was coming in when I was like
- 2:53:03Speaker 1: young in the league, like it was like he would
- 2:53:06Speaker 1: talk to me like my dad, Like he'd be like,
- 2:53:08Speaker 1: so you want to live like a king right now,
- 2:53:10Speaker 1: and then what are you going to do for the
- 2:53:11Speaker 1: rest of your life or your career, Like you're just
- 2:53:13Speaker 1: going to do everything right out the gate. You want
- 2:53:15Speaker 1: to have the Bentley, the maser all that stuff, and
- 2:53:17Speaker 1: then you know, what are you gonna do when you're
- 2:53:18Speaker 1: forty five? Like you gonna need a helicopter or a
- 2:53:20Speaker 1: plane to.
- 2:53:21Speaker 5: Beat There's always a new bar exactly said. And also
- 2:53:24Speaker 5: think about a Bentley in Green Bay.
- 2:53:27Speaker 1: It was yeah, I was driving Cherokees car dealership.
- 2:53:32Speaker 5: Yeah whatever. They would just give you as a lease
- 2:53:34Speaker 5: for six months.
- 2:53:35Speaker 1: Yeah, go sign some stuff for hour and a half
- 2:53:37Speaker 1: and they give you a car for the for the season.
- 2:53:39Speaker 5: The ultimate hack exactly got to be a wide receiver.
- 2:53:41Speaker 7: Dude.
- 2:53:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty cool.
- 2:53:42Speaker 5: Well, I think the most I think of a Verizon thing.
- 2:53:44Speaker 5: I got like twenty five hundred dollars and I was like,
- 2:53:46Speaker 5: oh fuck, yeah, Titans Market, you kidding me. I'm killing
- 2:53:49Speaker 5: it out here.
- 2:53:49Speaker 1: Twenty five hundreds richer than you were.
- 2:53:51Speaker 5: That's right, we'll take it.
- 2:53:52Speaker 13: We are.
- 2:53:52Speaker 1: One last question is didn't that five hundred k you
- 2:53:55Speaker 1: lost them?
- 2:53:56Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, three yeah. I was being turned to
- 2:53:59Speaker 5: the out there. But twit leave that yet to the
- 2:54:04Speaker 5: Advisor'll let them handle that most important question. So I
- 2:54:08Speaker 5: need you to lock in with me here for a second.
- 2:54:09Speaker 5: All right, this is the bud light question. We all
- 2:54:12Speaker 5: know that anybody would do anything for a nice cold
- 2:54:14Speaker 5: bud light. Clearly, what is something that you would do
- 2:54:17Speaker 5: anything for? Can't say family? I know, do you? And
- 2:54:23Speaker 5: if you need some references? I feel like that's been
- 2:54:25Speaker 5: the easiest way to get the brainstorm going. Brock Bowers,
- 2:54:28Speaker 5: he says, steak dinner, super simple, right. Steve Nill, who's
- 2:54:32Speaker 5: a hunter, he says, I'd love to go back in
- 2:54:34Speaker 5: time to see the dinosaurs. Trent McDuffie had a great
- 2:54:36Speaker 5: one just now and said, I'd love to go to space.
- 2:54:39Speaker 1: Now, okay, well that's my thing. I'm a big astronomy guy.
- 2:54:44Speaker 5: Oh really yeah, so you, me and Traynor are headed
- 2:54:46Speaker 5: in a spaceship.
- 2:54:47Speaker 1: I mean, bro I just was with Michael Strahan a
- 2:54:50Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and he actually went to space.
- 2:54:53Speaker 1: I don't know, if you know. It's like something that
- 2:54:54Speaker 1: he that he was able to do. So I'm working
- 2:54:58Speaker 1: with him to try to get on this voyage.
- 2:55:01Speaker 5: On a VOYD. It's just crazy. That's awesome. When you
- 2:55:06Speaker 5: did you ever see that they were doing before the
- 2:55:08Speaker 5: submarine broke about the Titanic stuff. It's the opposite of space,
- 2:55:11Speaker 5: but it's still there was like two or fifty thousand
- 2:55:13Speaker 5: to go see The Titanic, and then there.
- 2:55:15Speaker 1: Is I can go on Netflix and watch that. I
- 2:55:17Speaker 1: don't neither.
- 2:55:18Speaker 5: You're not trying to go in the water, No, sir,
- 2:55:19Speaker 5: fair enough?
- 2:55:20Speaker 1: What are we doing in there as a monster soup?
- 2:55:23Speaker 1: We don't need to be.
- 2:55:23Speaker 5: Oh you believe Do you believe monsters?
- 2:55:25Speaker 1: Bro?
- 2:55:25Speaker 5: Do you believe in deep sea monsters?
- 2:55:27Speaker 1: Yes?
- 2:55:27Speaker 5: You believe in the Megan.
- 2:55:28Speaker 1: I mean, I don't believe in the in the in
- 2:55:31Speaker 1: the legends, but I believe in I mean, what's a monster?
- 2:55:35Speaker 1: A monster is what I think it is, and there's
- 2:55:37Speaker 1: definitely some monstrous creatures down there.
- 2:55:40Speaker 5: A monster is what you think it is. What do
- 2:55:41Speaker 5: you think a monster is?
- 2:55:42Speaker 1: I mean half there's ship down there. If we've only
- 2:55:46Speaker 1: explored five percent, or what is it one?
- 2:55:49Speaker 5: I think it's between one and five.
- 2:55:51Speaker 1: It's something like that.
- 2:55:52Speaker 5: The phrase of we know more about space than we
- 2:55:54Speaker 5: do know about the ocean is kind of the thing
- 2:55:56Speaker 5: that I hang my hat on, Like that's fucking terrifying.
- 2:55:58Speaker 1: It's crazy and I wish I could quote it right now.
- 2:56:01Speaker 1: But there is this guy who's like a big time
- 2:56:06Speaker 1: what is an astrophysicist? I don't know what the title is,
- 2:56:08Speaker 1: but he's like you've probably seen him at some point
- 2:56:11Speaker 1: on social media. He's like an older black dude with
- 2:56:13Speaker 1: a thick mustache, like a yeah, so, I don't know,
- 2:56:18Speaker 1: and he hopefully he's not full of shit because I've
- 2:56:19Speaker 1: been listening.
- 2:56:20Speaker 5: To what I feel like everything he says is right.
- 2:56:22Speaker 5: I'm with you on that.
- 2:56:23Speaker 1: Yeah so he I mean he's spoken about like if
- 2:56:29Speaker 1: if you were too, I'm gonna find it. I don't.
- 2:56:32Speaker 1: I don't want to butcher it and look dumb. It
- 2:56:34Speaker 1: has to do with the ocean or just telling you
- 2:56:37Speaker 1: how how much of space, how much of the I'll
- 2:56:43Speaker 1: find it. I'm starting to lose it right now, losing
- 2:56:46Speaker 1: it word.
- 2:56:48Speaker 5: Actually you had a really chill day.
- 2:56:50Speaker 1: But I don't have an excuse. But I saw it
- 2:56:54Speaker 1: a while ago. But but basically it was something to
- 2:56:56Speaker 1: do with like scooping up a certain amount of water
- 2:56:57Speaker 1: out of the ocean. If you did that, like something
- 2:57:02Speaker 1: having to do with the amount of water, and there
- 2:57:04Speaker 1: is like IM now I need to just get we.
- 2:57:06Speaker 5: Can just look it up. We can cut we can
- 2:57:07Speaker 5: cut all this.
- 2:57:08Speaker 1: Yeah we should.
- 2:57:09Speaker 5: We should try to look it up real quick.
- 2:57:11Speaker 1: And if I don't find it, I'm not gonna be
- 2:57:13Speaker 1: happy right now.
- 2:57:14Speaker 5: Well we we we can clearly cut all this out
- 2:57:16Speaker 5: of the pod. The the idea of like space and
- 2:57:19Speaker 5: the ocean. It's just fast.
- 2:57:21Speaker 1: I'm on TikTok. Now let me see. Yes, I think
- 2:57:28Speaker 1: that's it?
- 2:57:29Speaker 4: Is that?
- 2:57:29Speaker 1: Is that is that text? Or is that a video? Yeah,
- 2:57:45Speaker 1: because he was basically he was saying like, yeah, if
- 2:57:48Speaker 1: you make the ocean like space and you go in there,
- 2:57:51Speaker 1: because it was more it was less about the monsters
- 2:57:54Speaker 1: and stuff. It was more about talking about aliens. And
- 2:57:56Speaker 1: they were saying interrestrial, Yeah exactly, which is just up there.
- 2:58:00Speaker 1: That's what they're down there. Yeah, it's just ets down And.
- 2:58:03Speaker 5: I know they're saying now that like aliens live among us,
- 2:58:05Speaker 5: like there's multiple different kinds and there's.
- 2:58:07Speaker 7: Like people here.
- 2:58:08Speaker 5: Yeah allegedly, I'm I'm forty five percent true. Miles Garrett,
- 2:58:11Speaker 5: one of.
- 2:58:12Speaker 1: Them, I swear to guy was about to just say, bro,
- 2:58:14Speaker 1: we were right here.
- 2:58:15Speaker 5: Yeah, we kind of flow state the two of us. Dude,
- 2:58:18Speaker 5: we kind of are. But you look at cats like that,
- 2:58:20Speaker 5: You're like, bro, we are not the same like this, wait,
- 2:58:24Speaker 5: yeah there's another cat there. Do you fully believe in aliens?
- 2:58:28Speaker 1: I believe in in life out there. I don't know
- 2:58:33Speaker 1: aliens like with the big eyes and the yeah bald head.
- 2:58:35Speaker 1: But but yeah, there's definitely something else going on out there.
- 2:58:38Speaker 5: What about ghosts?
- 2:58:40Speaker 1: Ghosts?
- 2:58:40Speaker 5: This podcast can end whenever. By the way, I'm actually
- 2:58:42Speaker 5: just really curious.
- 2:58:43Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a big I'm not big on
- 2:58:45Speaker 1: on ghosts.
- 2:58:46Speaker 5: Like you're not big on the idea of ghost being
- 2:58:48Speaker 5: around you, or you don't believe ghosts at all exists.
- 2:58:50Speaker 1: It's it's hard to say, because I think that there's
- 2:58:55Speaker 1: like there are some spirits, but I don't see it
- 2:58:57Speaker 1: like something like as something that people can see or
- 2:59:01Speaker 1: like a door closes or something like or you know,
- 2:59:03Speaker 1: or I spoke to whoever. I don't necessarily see that.
- 2:59:08Speaker 5: What does those people call the like holy mediums that
- 2:59:10Speaker 5: can like speak to the the afterlife. Yeah, but I
- 2:59:14Speaker 5: just you can't tell me. Dude, You're not sitting in
- 2:59:16Speaker 5: your beautiful mansion and somewhere in LA and at night
- 2:59:19Speaker 5: you're going to bed, you close your eyes and you
- 2:59:20Speaker 5: hear like a creek down the hall a piece.
- 2:59:22Speaker 1: He doesn't go fuck no, I immediately think, is somebody
- 2:59:25Speaker 1: I need to go shoot?
- 2:59:29Speaker 5: So my brain always goes to like you like scary
- 2:59:31Speaker 5: movies or no.
- 2:59:31Speaker 1: I love them, Oh you do. I love scary movies
- 2:59:34Speaker 1: like The Conjuring, and depends why I can do all those,
- 2:59:36Speaker 1: but they honestly don't do as much for me. The
- 2:59:39Speaker 1: movies that really scare me is like All the Ship,
- 2:59:40Speaker 1: where it's like the Babysitters at Home, you know, looking
- 2:59:44Speaker 1: after the house, and there's somebody in the house and
- 2:59:45Speaker 1: you're hearing noises, but it's a real person in there.
- 2:59:48Speaker 1: Like something like that scares me more than like Ghules
- 2:59:51Speaker 1: and like demons and goblins.
- 2:59:55Speaker 5: I'm the exact opposite, because to me, it's like, Okay,
- 2:59:57Speaker 5: if there's a human in the house, either they're gonna
- 2:59:59Speaker 5: surprise get me right away. When I'm laying in bed,
- 3:00:01Speaker 5: it's over like now it's all everything's gone to black,
- 3:00:04Speaker 5: just like the Sopranos. But if I know he's there,
- 3:00:07Speaker 5: like I got a fighting chance. I see my wife
- 3:00:09Speaker 5: or my daughter's getting tugged around by their hair around
- 3:00:12Speaker 5: and I can't see the thing. Yeah, we got a
- 3:00:14Speaker 5: whole bag of issues. I can't fix these things.
- 3:00:17Speaker 1: I'm one hundred thousand percent with you. But where have
- 3:00:21Speaker 1: we seen that in the country? Yeah, That's what I'm saying.
- 3:00:25Speaker 1: Like it's the idea you need.
- 3:00:26Speaker 5: To go watch like History channel stuff like the cable
- 3:00:29Speaker 5: type of TV shows.
- 3:00:30Speaker 1: Like, but I'm such a skeptic, bro. My wife hates
- 3:00:33Speaker 1: me for it, like everything she shows me, like especially
- 3:00:36Speaker 1: if she believes in it, Like she's like the biggest
- 3:00:38Speaker 1: confirmation bias person like ever, like this big conspiracy person.
- 3:00:42Speaker 1: And I'm like, where's the video?
- 3:00:45Speaker 5: Yeah, like and even the video you see it's like AI.
- 3:00:47Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it could be AI. Can we authenticate this somehow?
- 3:00:51Speaker 1: Like I need to know that this is like real.
- 3:00:53Speaker 1: And she's like, but look at She's like irritated. I'm like,
- 3:00:56Speaker 1: there's not enough facts there. Like I'm glad you're not
- 3:00:59Speaker 1: like on a jury somewhere like you just like I
- 3:01:04Speaker 1: need I need evidence. Like I feel like if I
- 3:01:06Speaker 1: was like sitting there, like if I was doing jury duty,
- 3:01:08Speaker 1: like I'd be sitting there like really locked in, taking
- 3:01:11Speaker 1: notes on everything.
- 3:01:12Speaker 7: It would be like look at this guy.
- 3:01:14Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, Like I feel like
- 3:01:15Speaker 1: that's my wife. He's he looks like a raper, you
- 3:01:20Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that and that's not That's
- 3:01:22Speaker 1: not how I move.
- 3:01:23Speaker 5: I gotta I gotta get down to the Yeah, yeah,
- 3:01:26Speaker 5: you're like, let's see the body cam foot is follow.
- 3:01:28Speaker 1: You around if if you got the vibe. But I'm
- 3:01:30Speaker 1: not gonna call the police until.
- 3:01:32Speaker 5: Right until you know, like but that by that time
- 3:01:34Speaker 5: sometimes it's too late.
- 3:01:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
- 3:01:36Speaker 5: Would you would you, like, have you ever done jury duty?
- 3:01:39Speaker 1: I haven't.
- 3:01:39Speaker 5: Would you ever like to?
- 3:01:40Speaker 1: It wouldn't work with my schedule?
- 3:01:42Speaker 5: What if it's like a February murder case takes place.
- 3:01:46Speaker 1: After February fifteenth?
- 3:01:47Speaker 5: Sure, I like that February seventeenth, they call you in
- 3:01:49Speaker 5: for Jersey. Are you a type of guy to be like,
- 3:01:50Speaker 5: I gotta get out of this.
- 3:01:51Speaker 1: We got the parade? Fuck.
- 3:01:54Speaker 5: Scheduling purposes is just terrible.
- 3:01:56Speaker 1: There maybe when you were retired March first, March first,
- 3:01:59Speaker 1: if you if you I it's a quick one, then
- 3:02:02Speaker 1: maybe in theory, I would love to because it's weird,
- 3:02:05Speaker 1: but like those are like my favorite shows, like you know,
- 3:02:08Speaker 1: like the murder Mysteries. I wouldn't it would be a weird,
- 3:02:11Speaker 1: Like it almost sounds weird me saying I would be
- 3:02:13Speaker 1: like excited about it, because I, like, you never want.
- 3:02:15Speaker 5: That to be like a thing out of the bottom
- 3:02:18Speaker 5: of what's going on.
- 3:02:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would like feel like that, you know,
- 3:02:20Speaker 1: I got a responsibility here, Yeah, and I'm I would
- 3:02:23Speaker 1: go about it responsibly, responsibly and not just like I said,
- 3:02:27Speaker 1: point fingers and do whatever. But I do like those
- 3:02:29Speaker 1: are my favorite shows on Netflix, is like the the
- 3:02:32Speaker 1: Murder Docs and like stuff like that, like all the
- 3:02:34Speaker 1: True crime and stuff like that. So hopefully they don't
- 3:02:37Speaker 1: judge me out there for it, but no, they won't.
- 3:02:38Speaker 5: There's no doubt. No one watches your wife though. I
- 3:02:41Speaker 5: feel like you would do a great job of like, hey,
- 3:02:43Speaker 5: what you're seeing here during this you're not supposed to
- 3:02:46Speaker 5: talk about you to keep it yourself jerish and talk
- 3:02:47Speaker 5: to anybody. And you'd come home and your wife would
- 3:02:49Speaker 5: be like tell me everything. I feel like you would
- 3:02:51Speaker 5: take it upon yourself.
- 3:02:52Speaker 1: I would have to stay a word. I would have
- 3:02:54Speaker 1: to stay distance from her, Yeah, yeah, because you get
- 3:02:57Speaker 1: mad at me for real, Like she would be like, really,
- 3:03:00Speaker 1: that's that's fucked up, dude.
- 3:03:02Speaker 5: My wife is the same way. She's got to know,
- 3:03:05Speaker 5: like if she knows something that she knows I know
- 3:03:07Speaker 5: something and I'm not telling her, She's like, why are
- 3:03:10Speaker 5: you doing this? Like, honey, it's none of our business.
- 3:03:12Speaker 5: I need to tell me what's going on. Spill the tea.
- 3:03:14Speaker 1: I couldn't be like, like work for the Secret Service
- 3:03:16Speaker 1: or something, because that would kill her every day. Just
- 3:03:19Speaker 1: come home, Hey, how you doing?
- 3:03:20Speaker 5: Exactly? Like some of the things I say I do
- 3:03:22Speaker 5: are confidential. She like, I don't give a fuck about that.
- 3:03:24Speaker 5: I need to know everything that's going.
- 3:03:26Speaker 1: On, Like I'm not telling nobody's like, but I don't know.
- 3:03:29Speaker 1: I can't tell you.
- 3:03:30Speaker 5: I love that, dude, we got a budget. You answered
- 3:03:32Speaker 5: the bud like question, go to SPEC's correct you, Jeff Beze?
- 3:03:36Speaker 5: What's that? Yeah? Yeah, so I guess like you're if

- 3:03:44Speaker 5: within a year, do you think you'll be in space?
- 3:03:48Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it's less. That's not really my control.
- 3:03:51Speaker 1: If I'm able to do this, whatever it would take
- 3:03:53Speaker 1: to do it, I would do it. So just as
- 3:03:55Speaker 1: long as But they do say like you might die,
- 3:03:57Speaker 1: oh for real, like you could?
- 3:03:59Speaker 5: I guess you could. That's kind of that. That's kind
- 3:04:00Speaker 5: of weird for me to be shot. You can go
- 3:04:03Speaker 5: to space and die.
- 3:04:05Speaker 1: Orbit? Yeah, that's not Do you leave orbit or do
- 3:04:09Speaker 1: you get to like a certain I think it's a
- 3:04:11Speaker 1: certain range. I don't think you're actually like looking down
- 3:04:13Speaker 1: at Earth. Yeah, but you like technically are out of
- 3:04:15Speaker 1: like the stratosphere, the metisphere and like all the all
- 3:04:19Speaker 1: the sphere.

- 3:04:21Speaker 5: it in the flat earther's face when you get up
- 3:04:24Speaker 5: there and be able to see the bending the circular
- 3:04:27Speaker 5: earth we have.
