- 2:54Speaker 4: I was in Vegas and my neighbor was running from
- 2:57Speaker 4: the fires. I don't know if you guys heard of him.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Adam Sandler heard of him. He was out there, yea,
- 3:02Speaker 4: you meet him? Yeah? I ended up meeting him.
- 3:04Speaker 2: How to go, just on.
- 3:05Speaker 4: The elevator walking in.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Hey, good morning.
- 3:07Speaker 4: How are you got out of there?
- 3:09Speaker 2: He was, dude, that was it.
- 3:11Speaker 4: He was running from fires. He was with his wife
- 3:14Speaker 4: and his two kids. They were waiting. They didn't seem
- 3:16Speaker 4: like they want to be bothered.
- 3:17Speaker 2: But you didn't ask if you wanted to be on
- 3:19Speaker 2: busting with the boys.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Not yet, ye And I thought about I thought about
- 3:22Speaker 4: him with the oh you did something with Travis. I
- 3:24Speaker 4: know Travis, we have a show called I thought about
- 3:25Speaker 4: doing the whole thing. I had a whole speech in
- 3:27Speaker 4: my head. Obviously, I was texting you about it. I
- 3:29Speaker 4: haven't thought about writing that note. But then things got
- 3:31Speaker 4: out of him. But uh yeah. I saw him at
- 3:33Speaker 4: the elevator multiple times, walk behind him. Actually, the first
- 3:37Speaker 4: time I saw him, I was walking behind him in
- 3:38Speaker 4: the hallway, him and his daughter, and I was kind
- 3:41Speaker 4: of like five paces behind him, but they didn't know
- 3:42Speaker 4: I was there. So I let like a out so
- 3:45Speaker 4: they knew. Scared the shit out of his daughter, and
- 3:47Speaker 4: it was just like right in there. I was like, oh,
- 3:49Speaker 4: I got to get out of here, narrow hallway. Had
- 3:51Speaker 4: to booge you way too big. You're way too big,
- 3:54Speaker 4: way too big. Yeah, command just like walk like hunched
- 3:56Speaker 4: over walking towards her. It was too much. It was
- 3:58Speaker 4: too much.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Man.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Taylor was telling me how he was in like the
- 4:00Speaker 2: room next to him. I was like, you should slip
- 4:02Speaker 2: a note like under his door.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I was like, bro, I'm gonna do it for sure,
- 4:05Speaker 4: Gonna do that for sure. And then I was in
- 4:07Speaker 4: the fight of my life for forty eight hours straight.
- 4:09Speaker 4: I kind of I kind of forgot about it a
- 4:11Speaker 4: little bit. But guy is dressed exactly like you see
- 4:14Speaker 4: him all the time.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah he is.
- 4:16Speaker 4: You see, I saw him three times. His outfit never changed,
- 4:19Speaker 4: Like he is a homie, you can just tell. And
- 4:21Speaker 4: the boys at Red Rock were telling me, They're like,
- 4:24Speaker 4: uh yeah. The only thing I was like, is he
- 4:26Speaker 4: like a high maintenance cauves. Again, He's like, no, he's
- 4:27Speaker 4: a high minutes at all. The only thing he wanted
- 4:29Speaker 4: was a lifetime fitness passed for a day to he'll
- 4:33Speaker 4: play pick up basketball.
- 4:34Speaker 2: So they thought it just all time, you know, sanely
- 4:38Speaker 2: to the way he dresses like he's peak, his laundry
- 4:41Speaker 2: pop by his bed and he just gets up the
- 4:42Speaker 2: morning question.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the guy that like puts his clothes down
- 4:45Speaker 4: and then like puts his feet right in. As he's
- 4:47Speaker 4: getting off the bed, he just pulls the same shorts up.
- 4:49Speaker 4: But yeah, dude, highlight, highlight. It was awesome. It was
- 4:52Speaker 4: a good little deal. But yeah, shouts to people fighting
- 4:55Speaker 4: the fires. That's tough, man.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Where should we start first? Should we go NFL recap?
- 4:58Speaker 2: Should we go college football? Should we go.
- 4:59Speaker 4: So let's go NFL. It's the most recent thing in
- 5:02Speaker 4: my brain right now.
- 5:04Speaker 2: The Pats like that, are we talking playing let's go there?
- 5:07Speaker 4: Because that is exact I mean, that's exactly what should
- 5:10Speaker 4: have happened. Yeah, exactly what should have happened. And you know,
- 5:13Speaker 4: every Titans fan, obviously being in Nashville, every Titans fan,
- 5:16Speaker 4: Amy Adams, Trunk, everybody who is associated with the Titans
- 5:19Speaker 4: right now punching the air. They're fucking pissed off at
- 5:22Speaker 4: themselves because they messed up bad love Callahan. His story
- 5:25Speaker 4: is still unwritten. We don't know the whole entire thing.
- 5:27Speaker 4: How that that final you know, period happens. However, a
- 5:31Speaker 4: guy like Rabel, it's exactly what the Pats need. Yeah,
- 5:35Speaker 4: it's exactly what the path.
- 5:36Speaker 2: To exactly for Rabel, Like, that's just the perfect storm.
- 5:38Speaker 2: You're going back to a spot to where you had
- 5:40Speaker 2: a fourteen year career. Obviously you played for a good
- 5:42Speaker 2: amount in New England. You got what three Super Bowls,
- 5:44Speaker 2: Patriots Hall of Fame, Yeah, Patriots Hall of Fame. You've
- 5:47Speaker 2: caught touchdown passes, like, you know the culture, you know
- 5:51Speaker 2: the leadership there. You're going into an environment You're going
- 5:55Speaker 2: into a situation that's honestly perfect for him. You've got
- 5:58Speaker 2: a good young quarterback in Drake May. You got a
- 6:00Speaker 2: lot of uh, you got a lot of cap space.
- 6:04Speaker 2: You know. The first move too, you got to get
- 6:05Speaker 2: John Striker away from the Los Angeles.
- 6:08Speaker 4: I already texted Stretch. I say, congrats and your moved
- 6:10Speaker 4: to New England. Yeah, he knows what are you talking about?
- 6:12Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you know you're getting ready for the Viking.
- 6:15Speaker 4: But you're right and but yeah, as always, this is
- 6:18Speaker 4: Monday as you're watching the show where it's Tuesday. Was
- 6:20Speaker 4: Thursday Friday. The Vikings and the Rams have not played yet.
- 6:22Speaker 4: We should actually go over that game because I think
- 6:24Speaker 4: you took the Vikings in locker room, right.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Yeah, but we don't know. By the time this comes
- 6:27Speaker 2: out of the game, I know.
- 6:28Speaker 4: I'd like to publicly change my opinion, though. I think
- 6:31Speaker 4: the Rams are gonna win that game. I think the
- 6:34Speaker 4: Rams I'm taking. I'm taking a veteran coach that's had
- 6:38Speaker 4: many times in the playoffs. I'm taking him and a
- 6:40Speaker 4: playoff stafford. Yeah, and the playoff stafford.
- 6:44Speaker 5: I like that.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Well, he shows up. I know that his last three
- 6:47Speaker 2: times getting on the grass. He's averaged like one hundred
- 6:49Speaker 2: and fifty yards and throwing for only one or two
- 6:51Speaker 2: touchdowns total to last three games.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Put the script this time.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and you know if the Rams win, he's
- 6:58Speaker 2: going back. You get to see Detroit's Stafford golf. You
- 7:01Speaker 2: can see that whole thing. That would beat to see that.
- 7:05Speaker 4: God. People saying fuck you. I I can't believe the
- 7:07Speaker 4: line sans did that just tell them go fuck himself
- 7:10Speaker 4: chanting fuck Stafford. Yeah, that is just crazy to me.
- 7:12Speaker 4: But I love it. I absolutely love it. But yeh,
- 7:14Speaker 4: did Raves be on the Pats? Unbelievable. With good news
- 7:18Speaker 4: always comes a little bit of bad news. It seems
- 7:20Speaker 4: like Steelers Twitter is over the Mike Tomlin experience, which
- 7:24Speaker 4: is coming just strictly from my perspective. If you're a
- 7:29Speaker 4: team like the Steelers who has had multiple Super Bowls,
- 7:31Speaker 4: you're a storied, historied franchise, and you have a coach
- 7:34Speaker 4: that gets you in the playoffs, you have to hear
- 7:36Speaker 4: whether you go far, whether you don't go you kind
- 7:38Speaker 4: of just like go that first game and come out.
- 7:41Speaker 4: It's kind of like Tyreek Hill saying, this is my
- 7:43Speaker 4: first time I haven't made the playoffs, I'm out of here.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Like you you just sometimes as a fan you get
- 7:48Speaker 4: so conditioned and callous to the success you've had that's
- 7:50Speaker 4: no longer good enough. Let me tell you, as a
- 7:54Speaker 4: person who played for a franchise that was not always
- 7:57Speaker 4: a guarantee to make the playoffs all the time. Stay
- 8:00Speaker 4: as long as you can understand that this man is
- 8:02Speaker 4: the man for the job. Also us in the playoffs
- 8:05Speaker 4: every single year. If you are picking in that eighteen
- 8:08Speaker 4: to twenty four range every single year, like it's gonna
- 8:11Speaker 4: be tough to get your quarterback, it's gonna get tough
- 8:13Speaker 4: to get those premier blue chip players because a lot
- 8:15Speaker 4: of people think like just because you're picked in the
- 8:16Speaker 4: first round means like that doesn't mean it means you're
- 8:19Speaker 4: like a premium guy. When reality, it's like, how good
- 8:23Speaker 4: is the draft? Who's going before? What are your needs?
- 8:25Speaker 4: Your necessities? When you're picking up in those late teens,
- 8:27Speaker 4: early twenties, it's fucking hard to keep keep establishing you
- 8:32Speaker 4: know a lot of talent on your team while everybody
- 8:34Speaker 4: doesn't catch up. So I'm personally a fan of tomans
- 8:36Speaker 4: Dain if he is fired, so many needs to throw
- 8:40Speaker 4: the bag at him immediately.
- 8:42Speaker 2: But it should be a thing too, Like if you
- 8:43Speaker 2: look at the last what is eight years, he's been
- 8:45Speaker 2: one and done in the playoffs, doesn't just pick just
- 8:49Speaker 2: I guess picking coach like verybel Let's just say he's
- 8:51Speaker 2: on the Titans. Say use the first eight years little
- 8:53Speaker 2: bit we were one and done every year. Fans would
- 8:56Speaker 2: be pretty upset about it. Well, Like and again, Tomlin
- 8:59Speaker 2: is a big culture guy, one of the best culture
- 9:01Speaker 2: guys in the business. He's had his his histories with
- 9:03Speaker 2: like the A B's.
- 9:04Speaker 5: Of the world.
- 9:05Speaker 2: You've had, You've had to You've had to balance a
- 9:08Speaker 2: lot of different personalities in that locker room. And too,
- 9:10Speaker 2: it's such like over time, even though he's a really
- 9:12Speaker 2: good culture guy, it's the same kind of culture stuff
- 9:14Speaker 2: over and over. Like that could kind of slow down
- 9:16Speaker 2: at some point.
- 9:17Speaker 4: You want to do it, you want it fresh.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Yeah, they do have like the lowest paid offense in
- 9:21Speaker 2: the league. They got all their money tied up defensively.
- 9:24Speaker 2: If you're looking at from a zoomed out views, is like,
- 9:26Speaker 2: do you kind of blow up a little bit on
- 9:27Speaker 2: defense and try and get some cap space and restructure
- 9:30Speaker 2: a little bit, move some pieces around. Because as good
- 9:32Speaker 2: as Cam Hayward is, he's been there forever. He's getting
- 9:34Speaker 2: longer in the two thirteen years now. TJ Widde is
- 9:37Speaker 2: obviously a stud of defensive any type of guy. Yeah,
- 9:40Speaker 2: he's not going anywhere. But you got to almost look
- 9:43Speaker 2: at all of these different options to kind of blow
- 9:45Speaker 2: it up a little bit. If you're gonna stick with Tomlin.
- 9:48Speaker 4: Yeah, and going off of you know, the example you
- 9:51Speaker 4: just gave of you if Mike Rabel is at the
- 9:52Speaker 4: Titans for eight years.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Imagine any coach who gets their job in their first
- 9:57Speaker 2: eight years. First year they go to the playoffs. Everybody's
- 9:59Speaker 2: riding high. But every year they get to the playoffs.
- 10:02Speaker 4: In this but that's not the example we're talking about.
- 10:04Speaker 2: They got the ten wins and then lost the final
- 10:08Speaker 2: four or five games.
- 10:09Speaker 4: I understand, However, you're talking about a sample size of
- 10:13Speaker 4: eight years from Tomlin. He's been there forever. He won
- 10:16Speaker 4: a Super Bowl in two thousand and eight with the Steelers,
- 10:18Speaker 4: like he's had more of it. I'm just saying, if
- 10:20Speaker 4: you look at he said, hey, I'm gonna give you
- 10:22Speaker 4: a head coach, you' gonna make the playoffs every single year,
- 10:24Speaker 4: but you're gonna be out of the playoffs after the
- 10:26Speaker 4: first round every single year for eight years. You probably say, no,
- 10:29Speaker 4: I'm not going to sign up for that. But if
- 10:30Speaker 4: you had a little more context to you know, Le'Veon
- 10:33Speaker 4: bell Ab kind of you're saying the Pouncy Brothers, all
- 10:35Speaker 4: these and the poundcer Bulls. You say pouncy because they're
- 10:38Speaker 4: such a prolific group of individuals, when really only one
- 10:40Speaker 4: pouncy brother played there. Marky's pouncy is one of the
- 10:44Speaker 4: greatest leaders from my understanding that anyone's ever seen, Like
- 10:46Speaker 4: he is one of those guys that are just all
- 10:49Speaker 4: fucking time, like a true locker room guy, keeps everybody
- 10:51Speaker 4: in check, but like still very unique, loud, boisterous like
- 10:55Speaker 4: individual we're free hernandez hats when all that stuff was
- 10:58Speaker 4: going on, like they are in the public, and we'll
- 11:00Speaker 4: do some controversial things if you're able to navigate that.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Many personalities have sustainable success and being somewhere for so long.
- 11:07Speaker 4: For me, it's very difficult to say, okay, go ahead
- 11:10Speaker 4: and walk away from that because the grass is not
- 11:11Speaker 4: always greener on the other side. You don't know how
- 11:13Speaker 4: good you're gonna have it. I feel like the Titans
- 11:15Speaker 4: are feeling that a little bit right now. Like I said,
- 11:17Speaker 4: that story is still unwritten. But you just once you
- 11:20Speaker 4: start getting away from stuff. And then also you look
- 11:22Speaker 4: at the Patriots. We're very excited for Rabel, but if
- 11:24Speaker 4: Rabel doesn't have success, you're not looking at like, hey,
- 11:26Speaker 4: maybe we should have stayed with Belichick. Let him stay
- 11:28Speaker 4: for as long as you want it. So it's it's
- 11:31Speaker 4: it's scarier to get away from Tomlin. It's safer to
- 11:34Speaker 4: stay because from the outside our perspective looking in on
- 11:37Speaker 4: the Steelers. That's just my take on it.
- 11:40Speaker 6: I think that George Pickens, as I was thinking about
- 11:43Speaker 6: it more as crazy as his press conference sounded, that
- 11:47Speaker 6: answer is almost I feel like Steeler's nation of like,
- 11:51Speaker 6: how do you feel like the year went? We progressed,
- 11:53Speaker 6: it was good, I got better. Are you optimistic?
- 11:56Speaker 2: No?
- 11:58Speaker 6: I had a decent year, And I feel like that's
- 12:01Speaker 6: how the fans kind of feel. Yeah, does George Pickens
- 12:05Speaker 6: know what optimistic means? That was the question on the internet.
- 12:09Speaker 4: Is funny. He has got to be probably the number
- 12:12Speaker 4: one character in the league right now.
- 12:13Speaker 7: Yeah, he's my favorite player.
- 12:14Speaker 4: He's a fair player. He really is. But he just
- 12:18Speaker 4: you'll just see a play going on and they will
- 12:19Speaker 4: be in the corner of the screen of throwing somebody
- 12:21Speaker 4: to the ground.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Watching a game.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Street rat type ship.
- 12:24Speaker 2: They're gonna have to get on the ball pretty sooner.
- 12:26Speaker 2: He's just gonna start giving up on routes.
- 12:28Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, dude.
- 12:31Speaker 2: And if you keep everybody together, you almost gotta you
- 12:33Speaker 2: gotta go try and find another quarterback.
- 12:35Speaker 4: Run, you gotta find a quarterback. You got Fields, Yeah, no,
- 12:39Speaker 4: you gotta go get a quarterback.
- 12:40Speaker 2: But if you're wanting to be this team that gets
- 12:42Speaker 2: over the hump of winning one playoff game over winning
- 12:45Speaker 2: a playoff game, quarterbacks, Yeah, but Fields could do it.
- 12:50Speaker 4: That's what That's what Will is essentially saying, is like, yeah,
- 12:52Speaker 4: you had a ten one season. That's great you look
- 12:54Speaker 4: at it on paper, but then you put since twenty sixteen,
- 12:57Speaker 4: you have them limping into the playoffs. So Wilson starts
- 13:00Speaker 4: off strong and then all of a sudden putters out.
- 13:03Speaker 4: You know, it hurts.
- 13:05Speaker 2: When Russ came in, he was making that decision correct
- 13:08Speaker 2: for several games.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a public apology in the locker room
- 13:12Speaker 4: from me because I thought Russell was terrible, and I
- 13:15Speaker 4: thought he was done and he was playing a lot better.
- 13:17Speaker 4: Turns out I was right. It turns out I was
- 13:19Speaker 4: right all along. You Arthur Smith.
- 13:25Speaker 7: Low key though Key should go to the past. He's not.
- 13:27Speaker 6: He's not on a very good run. The offense was
- 13:30Speaker 6: not good with the Falcons. That wasn't good at the Steelers.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Had success with Rabel Tannehill.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder who Rabe's gonna bring in his OC.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Maybe Josh McDaniels, that's what I saw. You see that report.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I think that's a no no. You stay away from
- 13:46Speaker 2: that for sure, Arthur Smith, because you know Rabe usually
- 13:49Speaker 2: brings in like guys, he's super close.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Here's the thing that I don't like that coaches do
- 13:55Speaker 4: hiring their friends. I do not like that. I think
- 13:58Speaker 4: it is a It is a miss and it gets people. Yeah,
- 14:02Speaker 4: it gets people fired. It gets guys fired. Whether the
- 14:05Speaker 4: GM you hire the head coach as your friend or
- 14:07Speaker 4: you're a head coach hiring your staff. It's like, just
- 14:11Speaker 4: pick the best guy for the job. Pick the best
- 14:13Speaker 4: guy for the job who has the same core values
- 14:16Speaker 4: as you do. When you're establishing a culture of a
- 14:18Speaker 4: football team, move on after that.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Be okay.
- 14:20Speaker 4: It's okay to say to your buddy. Listen, Garrett, I

- 14:30Speaker 4: Downing, and and the thing is is, yeah, you bring
- 14:34Speaker 4: up Todd. It sucks sitting here being like publicly like, yeah,
- 14:36Speaker 4: that wasn't the move. It wasn't a move. I love Todd.
- 14:38Speaker 4: I thought he was a great guy in the locker room,
- 14:39Speaker 4: great guy to hang out with, like him as an individual.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Was not the move at the OC. It just is
- 14:44Speaker 4: what it is. Does Braves have any overlap with Bobby
- 14:47Speaker 4: Slowick in Houston where he could snag him over, you.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Know, because slow it came from the Niners with with Raheem.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Or the Patriots Tree Patriots Tree is.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Morrison.
- 15:03Speaker 4: I mean, all right, you brought up Picking having his
- 15:11Speaker 4: postgame presser about not being optimistic. You see a J.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Brown reading no post game he had one catch, he
- 15:19Speaker 4: had one catch. After the game, he was livid they
- 15:23Speaker 4: win a playoff game. He was livid. I'm not talking.
- 15:27Speaker 2: I saw him reading, but then I saw him talking
- 15:29Speaker 2: about reading, and like.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Right, you haven't tweeted about it. He's he basically the
- 15:33Speaker 4: beat reporters. The reporters came up after the game and
- 15:35Speaker 4: he's like, I'm not talking today. I got nothing to say,
- 15:39Speaker 4: and then like got his staying smile on his face.
- 15:41Speaker 4: But you know, Aj, it was like an AJ like
- 15:43Speaker 4: I'm smiling at you, but really have a few me inside.
- 15:45Speaker 4: I'm just trying to get away from this so I
- 15:46Speaker 4: don't blow up type of situation.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Well, I saw when I saw the book. When I
- 15:51Speaker 2: saw the book stuff, I was laughing out loud.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Bro.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Yeah, the book thing is funny. But he has had
- 16:00Speaker 4: the book open in the middle though, which is nice.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to get his head right, like he
- 16:04Speaker 2: did only have one catch. Maybe he's like, let me
- 16:06Speaker 2: just and they were let me read my favorite Yeah,
- 16:10Speaker 2: let me read my favorite paragraph so I can calm
- 16:12Speaker 2: the fuck down.
- 16:13Speaker 4: There were multiple like omaha routes, quick out routes on
- 16:17Speaker 4: several plays where it went to DeVante Smith and he
- 16:20Speaker 4: was it was like, you know, a contested catch that
- 16:22Speaker 4: Smith would come down with, but Aj'd be over there
- 16:24Speaker 4: and he'd have like five six yards of cushion where
- 16:27Speaker 4: there'd be some yak.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw a couple where he's got these hitch routes.
- 16:29Speaker 2: He's getting some separation at the top of the route.
- 16:31Speaker 2: You see a couple times where they're going to Davante
- 16:33Speaker 2: when aj just on his you know, special move slant
- 16:37Speaker 2: route where he'll just take it to the house and
- 16:39Speaker 2: if you throw it to him and.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Stick it on the Eagles to the selflessness of Saquon
- 16:43Speaker 4: Barkley at the end of the game, games already essentially
- 16:46Speaker 4: in hand, there's a minute six left, like you score,
- 16:48Speaker 4: it really doesn't matter. And he had so much open
- 16:51Speaker 4: field to run, so much open field to get like legit,
- 16:54Speaker 4: forty more yards and still could have slipped, Yeah, but
- 16:57Speaker 4: decided to just slide it down and the game. Save
- 17:00Speaker 4: the legs. Get a big one coming up next week.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Yeah, who do they? Obviously depends on tonight with the
- 17:06Speaker 2: Vikings and the Rams, But as of right now, who

- 19:07Speaker 4: Yeah, do we go?
- 19:09Speaker 2: Do we talk about the I mean, the only fun
- 19:11Speaker 2: game to watch this weekend was The Commander's Buck.
- 19:14Speaker 4: I want to get your opinion that, being a former commander,
- 19:16Speaker 4: former redskin.
- 19:17Speaker 2: I'm fired up for him.
- 19:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm fired up for him. You think the road,
- 19:20Speaker 4: do you think that they can make a little run here?
- 19:22Speaker 2: I mean, objectively I feel like or subjectively I feel
- 19:27Speaker 2: like it's the end of the road, like you're going
- 19:28Speaker 2: to Detroit.
- 19:29Speaker 4: Detroit is a monster, man powerhouse.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Detroit is a monster. But if you're the Commanders, like
- 19:33Speaker 2: you're in the tournament, who fucking knows. Jane Daniels been
- 19:36Speaker 2: playing his ass on so JP. This dude and a
- 19:38Speaker 2: rookie Like, you're right, this dude operates at a such
- 19:41Speaker 2: a high level. It's so fun to watch. And I
- 19:44Speaker 2: know this city is just so fired up right now. Dude,
- 19:46Speaker 2: you have a lot to look forward to in the future,
- 19:48Speaker 2: whether or not this is at the end of the
- 19:49Speaker 2: road this week, because I did, I thought the Bucks
- 19:51Speaker 2: would probably beat them. But yeah, fired up for the Commanders.
- 19:56Speaker 4: You and watching him run around like he's he is
- 19:58Speaker 4: such an awareness of the defenders around him that he
- 20:01Speaker 4: reminds you a lot of Lamar Jackson when he's scrambling. Yeah,
- 20:03Speaker 4: and he gets those three four yards and then just
- 20:05Speaker 4: hits the ground real quick, pops back up like he's
- 20:06Speaker 4: got a poised confidence about him. Because you see these
- 20:10Speaker 4: running quarterbacks, the Redskins in recent history. You have these
- 20:13Speaker 4: like really like insane, major highlight running quarterbacks, and then
- 20:16Speaker 4: injuries start happening. It becomes a massive issue. With this kid.
- 20:20Speaker 4: He's got that Lamar Jackson feel where it's like, yeah,
- 20:22Speaker 4: he can run, he can throw it too, and he
- 20:24Speaker 4: seems like a guy that knows how to stay healthy.
- 20:27Speaker 4: No said to keep the legs right, knows that to
- 20:28Speaker 4: getting those weird entanglements where his bodies and you know,
- 20:31Speaker 4: doing a whole bunch of oregony type Yeah, popped on
- 20:33Speaker 4: the sideline.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Yay, Yeah that was nuts.
- 20:37Speaker 4: And if you're the offensive lineman, I tweeted this out
- 20:39Speaker 4: like that hits not bad, Like that's just a good
- 20:42Speaker 4: old fashioned highlight NFL hit, Like you're gonna put that
- 20:44Speaker 4: in the promo next year going into Week one. But
- 20:47Speaker 4: as an offensive lignement of the commanders, you've got to
- 20:49Speaker 4: start belly bumping or chest but yeah, you start barking
- 20:51Speaker 4: a little bit, get up your boy's face, start going
- 20:55Speaker 4: little know, a little bit, huh.
- 20:56Speaker 2: In that third and short where ninety four had him
- 20:59Speaker 2: in the backfield and he just hits with it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 21:02Speaker 2: hits with that stif arm and gets the first down towl.
- 21:06Speaker 6: Yeah, the whole time chasing him downstairs like bro drop it, the.
- 21:11Speaker 4: Bro drop it.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, did anybody know what happened to Levante at
- 21:16Speaker 2: the end of the game. I saw he got rolled
- 21:17Speaker 2: up on I don't I don't think I saw any
- 21:19Speaker 2: reports on it yet. You know what, I'm sitting there.
- 21:22Speaker 2: It's like I'm Public Commanders, That's who I played for.
- 21:25Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, like Levante, I know, I don't know
- 21:27Speaker 2: how much longer he's gonna play, Like this could have
- 21:28Speaker 2: been his life. That could have been his last game.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Yesterday could have been his last game if he if
- 21:33Speaker 2: he retireded you cry, do what ran?
- 21:37Speaker 4: Which? Dude?
- 21:39Speaker 2: Bro, I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there and I'm telling
- 21:42Speaker 2: charl I'm like, sweetheart, Like this dude was drafting the
- 21:45Speaker 2: league a year before me. He started and played like
- 21:48Speaker 2: a pro bo esque level every year of his career.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Like this dude's thirty five years old.
- 21:54Speaker 1: I think they said he's like thirty four to thirty five.
- 21:56Speaker 2: It's nuts, man, and he's had such an incredible career.
- 22:01Speaker 2: And to be at one place the entire time when
- 22:03Speaker 2: they were drafting a guy, they talk about the core values,
- 22:05Speaker 2: they put it together. Who's the player that it embodies.
- 22:07Speaker 2: It's Levante, David. He said, such a run many, which
- 22:14Speaker 2: is funny. I actually just put.
- 22:16Speaker 7: That together, but I was on Twitter.
- 22:18Speaker 2: People forget Yeah, bro I broke my foot. I broke
- 22:22Speaker 2: my foot on a Oh.
- 22:24Speaker 1: That was you.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I broke my fan.
- 22:25Speaker 4: I love how you guys are coming to it. I'm
- 22:27Speaker 4: still like two steps behind on that, like, oh shit,
- 22:29Speaker 4: who got hurt?
- 22:30Speaker 2: Yeah, so I broke my foot on a Thursday or
- 22:33Speaker 2: Friday walked through before the season opener, and it was
- 22:37Speaker 2: a walk through like we had our helmets. Are like
- 22:39Speaker 2: a jog through, like an up tempo, YadA YadA. I
- 22:41Speaker 2: break on this stick route in my foot, I feel
- 22:43Speaker 2: like just blows up, like somebody takes a shotgun to it,
- 22:46Speaker 2: and I go down. And Levante starts that weekend, has
- 22:48Speaker 2: like thirteen tackles, murder somebody over the middle of the field,
- 22:52Speaker 2: and I come back like six or seven eight. However,
- 22:55Speaker 2: long later, it was like for Texas and job was
- 22:57Speaker 2: nowhere to be job was nowhere to be talked about
- 22:59Speaker 2: it at that point anymore, you kind of knew the
- 23:01Speaker 2: writing on the wall. But yeah, Levante just comes on
- 23:04Speaker 2: the scene because he came from Juco that year. He
- 23:06Speaker 2: was a Juco kid out of one.
- 23:07Speaker 4: Yeah, what did he start off as a safety.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Uh, he was like a tweiner, Like he's like a
- 23:13Speaker 2: dime cat playing dime and he came in and the
- 23:15Speaker 2: and the depth chart went like myself, Sean Fisher, Sean
- 23:18Speaker 2: Fisher breaks his leg in training camp, and uh, yeah,
- 23:21Speaker 2: Blake Lawrence, Sean Fisher breaks his leg in training camp.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I break my foot. Levante is on the second field,
- 23:27Speaker 2: operating with the threes throughout training camp and then has
- 23:29Speaker 2: to get thrust it into being a starter and then
- 23:32Speaker 2: the rest is history. He's going off that entire year.
- 23:35Speaker 2: He's he's top five old time tackle leaders the in
- 23:37Speaker 2: Nebraska history in two years, playing two years.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Twenty seven tackles against Michigan.
- 23:43Speaker 2: He might seem obvious.
- 23:45Speaker 7: Without will Compton, there is no Levonte will Compton.
- 23:48Speaker 2: There is no Levonte David once a.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Uh, it all shout out to shut somehow.
- 23:56Speaker 2: I thought you were like Charling.
- 23:57Speaker 7: Said, I wasn't.
- 23:57Speaker 6: I was literally scrolling on Twitter to find out the injury,
- 24:00Speaker 6: and somebody tweeted out man for any like low rank
- 24:04Speaker 6: recruit out there. Remember, nobody even knew Levonte David. It
- 24:07Speaker 6: took an injury for him to get in at Nebraska.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a such an awesome story
- 24:13Speaker 2: like his. He's such a good dude. He's such a
- 24:15Speaker 2: good soul. He's kind of like an ed reed do wor.
- 24:18Speaker 2: He's just all football. He's undersized, know how to slip
- 24:20Speaker 2: every knows how to slip every block. He's played in
- 24:23Speaker 2: the middle of the defense his entire career, not as
- 24:25Speaker 2: like a safety or anything else, but as an undersized
- 24:27Speaker 2: backer and has all the same, arguably better stats than
- 24:30Speaker 2: like the Bobby Wagner's, the Luke Keekleys, because that was
- 24:33Speaker 2: the same type of class, Like that was the same
- 24:34Speaker 2: type of generation.
- 24:35Speaker 4: Talk about Bobby Wagner the first two series of that
- 24:37Speaker 4: game against Washington, I'm sorry against the Bucks. A menace, Yeah,
- 24:43Speaker 4: a menace. You see that when he blits up the
- 24:45Speaker 4: middle and hit that running back so hard he actually
- 24:47Speaker 4: just missed Baker Mayfield. Yeah, like that's fucking nuts.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Bobby Wagon too. You watch him, like when you're watching
- 24:52Speaker 2: him out on the field, like you're like, that's a
- 24:54Speaker 2: fucking middle line, Like that's a grown ass man.
- 24:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Talk about like arms, his hands are like down to
- 25:00Speaker 2: his past. His arms are just looked oil and oiled
- 25:03Speaker 2: and glossy.
- 25:04Speaker 7: Baker put that head down on him though.
- 25:06Speaker 4: Yeah, he did give him a little shoulders that. Yeah,
- 25:10Speaker 4: that dude, he he's got that look of a linebacker
- 25:13Speaker 4: and the cat too with them traps.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Yeah he got that.
- 25:17Speaker 4: He's got that traps that Mike Tyson no neck vibe, dude,
- 25:20Speaker 4: head sits a little low, yeah, in a little bit,
- 25:24Speaker 4: sits there in the off season, just bangs into a wall.
- 25:27Speaker 4: So he shrinks into the brades just to touch. Yeah.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Two, it's like, uh, bucks had their chances when Baker
- 25:34Speaker 2: fumbles that ball late in the game, Bobby Wager picks
- 25:36Speaker 2: it up and they're right there in scoring position, and
- 25:39Speaker 2: then when they have that seems like a complex you
- 25:43Speaker 2: can you can, uh you can talk about this tailor.
- 25:46Speaker 2: But there was a moment to where it was like
- 25:48Speaker 2: third and inches and they're doing a hard count and
- 25:52Speaker 2: then he's like let it roll, let it roller. He
- 25:54Speaker 2: just says we're good, We're good, and then turbo. But
- 25:57Speaker 2: it seemed like a dummy turbo because he goes but
- 26:00Speaker 2: in the center, the young center snaps it on the
- 26:02Speaker 2: loud one. But it seemed like it was a dummy
- 26:04Speaker 2: turbo because nobody else went but everybody just killed him.
- 26:08Speaker 2: They tackled Bucky Irving, which Bucky Irvy almost breaks every
- 26:11Speaker 2: tackle in the backfield to get the first down. But
- 26:13Speaker 2: that was like a third inches that they needed. They
- 26:14Speaker 2: had to settle for a field goal instead of like
- 26:16Speaker 2: going in for a touchdown. But it seemed like that
- 26:18Speaker 2: was a very complicated hard count turbo dummy, turbo, stick
- 26:23Speaker 2: with the you know, stick with the run whatever play.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Like they had a double call going yeah.
- 26:27Speaker 4: Game, it's like a late is late in the game,
- 26:30Speaker 4: fourth quarter. Yeah, I mean they're every every offense has
- 26:34Speaker 4: a play call, whether it's freeze, frost frosty like something
- 26:37Speaker 4: like that. Like there's always some sort of code word
- 26:39Speaker 4: where it's like we're gonna lamp in a formation, then
- 26:42Speaker 4: all of a sudden, we're gonna do a full cadence.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Then the tight end's gonna come off, he's gonna go
- 26:46Speaker 4: into a motion. We're gonna get a couple more huts,
- 26:48Speaker 4: then the guy's gonna back off, get into the f
- 26:50Speaker 4: and like they're in an I formation and then you know,
- 26:52Speaker 4: hut hut hut hut. Uh. If you're doing that many
- 26:55Speaker 4: cadences and you have a young center, I don't know
- 26:57Speaker 4: about that.
- 26:58Speaker 2: I personally see it seems like like again, you know,
- 27:01Speaker 2: it's like they had a double call. We're gonna do
- 27:04Speaker 2: a hard count. Then I'm gonna let you know if
- 27:05Speaker 2: the play still on or we're gonna check it or
- 27:07Speaker 2: alert it or do something else. Then you gotta remember
- 27:09Speaker 2: that you're on a dummy Turbo. But Turbo. You're listening
- 27:12Speaker 2: to Turbo all year long, like as an offensive lineman. Yeah,
- 27:14Speaker 2: you're just so used to such second nature.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Yeah, Turbo unless it's called in the huddle like a
- 27:18Speaker 4: Turbo two, which would be in the second hud of
- 27:20Speaker 4: after turbo. If you hear turbo is essentially the number one, right,
- 27:25Speaker 4: like your ears perk up, knowing, okay, the snap is
- 27:27Speaker 4: the next sound is going to be the snap. It's
- 27:30Speaker 4: like it's it's making it for me personally if I like,
- 27:32Speaker 4: if I'm going to a third and one situation. And
- 27:34Speaker 4: this is also a lot of it's predicated on the
- 27:35Speaker 4: defense and how they if they like to shift if
- 27:38Speaker 4: it what would Abell call it when you guys would
- 27:40Speaker 4: all start a little bit wider and then you shift
- 27:41Speaker 4: down something like that.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was something like that, But that.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Was that was like a twenty twelve film from the
- 27:49Speaker 4: Patriots field goal Field. I think it was against the
- 27:52Speaker 4: Bucks too. I think it was against the Bucks, but
- 27:55Speaker 4: just depending on what people do one third and one,
- 27:57Speaker 4: and if it's a team that usually stays stationary and
- 27:59Speaker 4: you know they're gonna bring like an Ammo blitz or
- 28:01Speaker 4: two up the middle or something like that, I personally
- 28:04Speaker 4: like a like a it's called a fast break. You
- 28:07Speaker 4: get out of the huddle, you get set first noise
- 28:09Speaker 4: you hear, you're going the first noise. The ball is
- 28:11Speaker 4: getting snapped because you're catching the defense off guard.
- 28:15Speaker 2: It's either you want.
- 28:15Speaker 4: To go real late or real early. And those key
- 28:18Speaker 4: like gotta have it like short yard of situations that way,
- 28:22Speaker 4: it's like you're just trying to find whatever you can't
- 28:23Speaker 4: get up her hand because it's grown man fucking football
- 28:25Speaker 4: at that point. Yeah, And to be honest with you, boys,
- 28:27Speaker 4: a lot of times I wasn't the growness of the
- 28:29Speaker 4: men when I was going against the boy in front
- 28:31Speaker 4: of me. So I want a little bit of I
- 28:32Speaker 4: give me a little whatever little advantage I can take.
- 28:35Speaker 4: Give me a snap count that can help the boy
- 28:37Speaker 4: out a little bit.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously that's a snap but they get an off
- 28:40Speaker 2: size penalty, it's gonna be a first down. That was
- 28:42Speaker 2: when they were down like twenty twenty to seventeen. They
- 28:44Speaker 2: ultimately had to settle for a field goal and make
- 28:46Speaker 2: it twenty twenty.
- 28:47Speaker 7: And banking in the field goal anyways to win is crazy.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Nuts bro a doink win. Because when it started going over,
- 28:53Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, I.
- 28:54Speaker 7: Thought he was gonna miss because he kept doing this
- 28:56Speaker 7: with his hair.
- 28:58Speaker 1: I say, he's missing like bad.
- 29:01Speaker 8: And there's like his takes and so like he's like
- 29:03Speaker 8: doing that because he's like gotta get set and get
- 29:05Speaker 8: ready and.
- 29:05Speaker 1: There's another.
- 29:08Speaker 8: Year and also cleats, he's retying his cleats like over
- 29:11Speaker 8: and over. So I guess he has these OCD tickes.
- 29:13Speaker 8: And so imagine being a kicker with OCD and in
- 29:15Speaker 8: the game winning field goal.
- 29:16Speaker 4: And you're just like fuck fuck like one two three, yeah,
- 29:19Speaker 4: especially because there are situations where like, what was it hurricane,
- 29:23Speaker 4: Like there's a there's this hurricane field goal. It's like
- 29:27Speaker 4: eighteen seconds on the clock, third down, no timeouts, you're
- 29:30Speaker 4: in field goal range. You've got to go kicker right away.
- 29:33Speaker 4: And there's this whole program of how to get guys
- 29:35Speaker 4: off the field, how to get guys on the field,
- 29:37Speaker 4: and I get the kickers as fast as possible. If
- 29:39Speaker 4: you're an OCD guy, that you have to do four
- 29:41Speaker 4: hand you two shoot, Like, yeah, you gotta go balld.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Dude. If I'm a kicker, I almost want more of
- 29:47Speaker 2: the hurricane, Like you're rushing to get on the Yeah,
- 29:49Speaker 2: you don't think about you you gotta think about it. Like,
- 29:51Speaker 2: but when the offense is trying to methodically put it
- 29:53Speaker 2: on the spot you're at and it's kind of like
- 29:55Speaker 2: that thirty forty year field goal, I'm probably thinking to myself,
- 29:57Speaker 2: these boys think this is just a gimme. I'm over
- 29:58Speaker 2: here nervous this year.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, that shit when in Texas versus Asu, when
- 30:03Speaker 4: Start walked up to his boy the kicker and like
- 30:05Speaker 4: get him love. If I'm a kicker in that situation,
- 30:08Speaker 4: it's like, leave me the fuck alone. Yeah, like pretend
- 30:11Speaker 4: like I just don't even exist on this world for
- 30:12Speaker 4: a little bit and all that remember, like not remember
- 30:15Speaker 4: like freezing kickers like that would be the fucking worst. Yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Calling a time out at the end of the game
- 30:21Speaker 4: and it goes right up the middle two and you're
- 30:22Speaker 4: just like, oh my fucking god, dude, if I could
- 30:25Speaker 4: just get that one again, kickers Man snipers more time
- 30:28Speaker 4: to think about it. Shadow, Ryan suck up, Dude did
- 30:30Speaker 4: a great for him. Shout out, Ryan suck Up. Just
- 30:33Speaker 4: a dog out there.
- 30:34Speaker 2: How about the fucking Texans?
- 30:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean dog.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Dog walking the Chargers. Chargers beat their ass for a
- 30:41Speaker 2: quarter and a half, and we're sitting there and it's
- 30:42Speaker 2: six to nothing. It's like this game should be some
- 30:44Speaker 2: one of those feelings, like as a player, it should
- 30:46Speaker 2: be fourteen or nothing right now. Like if you're the Charger,
- 30:48Speaker 2: you're like, hey, fellas, like we got to get seven
- 30:50Speaker 2: or because they're still in And then if you're the Texans,
- 30:53Speaker 2: you're getting destroyed. The ball's not bouncing your way either,
- 30:56Speaker 2: Like they had a I forget what it was, but
- 30:58Speaker 2: it just didn't go their way. But you're sitting there,
- 31:00Speaker 2: it's like, hey, fel's like it's only six to nothing.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Like as bad as we've played, like we're still in
- 31:04Speaker 2: this game, it's sure enough. Thirty two unanswered points later,
- 31:07Speaker 2: the Texas defense was eating.
- 31:09Speaker 4: Broke, eating Will Anderson, going off.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Daniel Hunter, Autrey, Will, Will and.
- 31:14Speaker 4: Audrey had a couple plays in a row Brother where
- 31:17Speaker 4: it's like, holy shit.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Alsha, here was tattooing folks. Then you got Stingley that's
- 31:22Speaker 2: making plays. I don't know why they're tried. They were
- 31:24Speaker 2: trying Stingley all game.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Yeah that game that hey, Herbert, I know that game
- 31:29Speaker 4: reminded me a lot of Packers Eagles where it's like
- 31:33Speaker 4: Houston was taking advantage of the Chargers bad football, and
- 31:36Speaker 4: Eagles were taking advantage of the Packers bad football. The Houston,
- 31:39Speaker 4: Houston took more advantage than the Eagles did. But it's like, yeah,
- 31:43Speaker 4: Herbert had a bad day. He had a rough day.
- 31:47Speaker 4: It seemed like the play calling was a little all
- 31:49Speaker 4: over the place. It just seemed like they couldn't get
- 31:51Speaker 4: settled and like grounded in the moment of you know
- 31:54Speaker 4: where they need to be, which is weird because you
- 31:56Speaker 4: think Harball culture guy, he's gonna have his guys ready
- 31:58Speaker 4: to go. But then there's the old Herbert. He loves
- 32:00Speaker 4: a choking the playoffs.
- 32:02Speaker 6: Dirty bubble got hard. They know he's a SpongeBob fan. Yeah,
- 32:08Speaker 6: and they had his quote, you're on the sideline. You
- 32:10Speaker 6: can't call murmury man barnacle boy. He's he was captured
- 32:13Speaker 6: he was.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Got Were you watching that?
- 32:15Speaker 1: Uh?
- 32:15Speaker 2: Were you watching that?
- 32:16Speaker 3: Uh?
- 32:17Speaker 2: What am I saying? Yeah?
- 32:18Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 32:19Speaker 2: Were you watching the broadcast in Nickelodeon. Yeah, they had
- 32:21Speaker 2: SpongeBob up there like commentating with Pat pf Man Yeah,
- 32:25Speaker 2: pf Manatee and Big Catfish. Then you had like Lebron
- 32:28Speaker 2: and Kevin Hart. I forget what their their fish for Lebron, Yeah, Lebron,
- 32:32Speaker 2: James Dog. It was.
- 32:35Speaker 4: I feel bad for the Chargers, but the Texans man,
- 32:38Speaker 4: I've been good for them.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Do they make it? Do they make it interesting? In
- 32:41Speaker 2: Kansas City? They're dangerous, they could, They're dangerous.
- 32:44Speaker 4: Hard to be hard to beat a team twice. It
- 32:46Speaker 4: is hard to beat a team twice. She's got to
- 32:50Speaker 4: get to Pat when they got the tools to get there,
- 32:52Speaker 4: they got to Chargers.
- 32:53Speaker 2: So the playoff. Willie Parlay was dead in the first game,
- 32:57Speaker 2: just the first gone, Hey, you're forty something thousand people riding.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Your response to that too, of the captain from Titanic
- 33:03Speaker 2: walking in going down the ship maybe the best response
- 33:06Speaker 2: he could possibly have to it.
- 33:07Speaker 1: What do we go?
- 33:09Speaker 4: He's just so captain, Captain, sir, your life Jackets said,
- 33:11Speaker 4: just keep swapping.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Lebron's didn't hit either. Daves was cooking there for
- 33:18Speaker 2: a second. But Cortland Sutton, they've hit four out of
- 33:20Speaker 2: five of his legs. Courtland Sutton didn't score for the Broncos.
- 33:24Speaker 4: Yeah, the I don't think the Texans can do against
- 33:27Speaker 4: the Chiefs. I think I think we're gona see Chiefs
- 33:29Speaker 4: in Nancy.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Championship at least.
- 33:31Speaker 4: Yeah, and we can start talking about you. I gotta
- 33:34Speaker 4: see Ravens bills and how those games operate. I think
- 33:38Speaker 4: it could be one sided.
- 33:39Speaker 2: That Dame could be bum bum liked. Obviously, being like
- 33:42Speaker 2: a Chief stater, I'm bummed out that the Chiefs get
- 33:45Speaker 2: just the winner of that game versus having to play
- 33:46Speaker 2: both of them.
- 33:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because you kind of one.
- 33:48Speaker 2: I mean, man, if the Raven's could have just lost
- 33:50Speaker 2: one more game and maybe they slip down a seat
- 33:52Speaker 2: to where they're the ones going to Kansas City.
- 33:54Speaker 4: I saw a funny clip of you ever see like
- 33:56Speaker 4: the dog who hits the basketball on the stairs and
- 33:58Speaker 4: it kind of bounces in the basket of who's gonna
- 33:59Speaker 4: win the players? Yeah, using that whether there was one
- 34:01Speaker 4: where a guy had a marble and it was in
- 34:03Speaker 4: between like these two lines and he would roll it
- 34:05Speaker 4: and these two dominoes were different colors, and it was
- 34:07Speaker 4: based on the teams whicheveryone fell was gonna be the loser.
- 34:10Speaker 4: And every time the Chiefs one died, he like throw
- 34:12Speaker 4: a flag at it and put them back up. It
- 34:15Speaker 4: is It's crazy, man, It's crazy. But yeah, I think
- 34:19Speaker 4: we should get into our podcast. Yeah, I did want

- 36:02Speaker 4: Do I het your fucking assistant, and it was She's like,
- 36:05Speaker 4: all right, you need to start doing it again. It
- 36:07Speaker 4: was bad. It was bad.
- 36:08Speaker 5: What's the serious question, what's what is the downside to
- 36:13Speaker 5: her addictions?
- 36:15Speaker 4: There are no side effects zero, It's really just you
- 36:18Speaker 4: feel great all the time.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I think.
- 36:21Speaker 4: So, nicotine is proven. It's neuroprotective, it's a stimulant. It
- 36:24Speaker 4: helps the multitasking. There's a lot of benefits of it.
- 36:27Speaker 5: Do they pay you to say this.
- 36:28Speaker 4: No, but uh, but there are like you could elevate
- 36:33Speaker 4: your blood pressure, shrink your veins, like not shrinker veins,
- 36:37Speaker 4: but like make it more difficult for blood. I don't know.
- 36:40Speaker 4: There's there's a couple of bad things, but I would
- 36:42Speaker 4: say the pros outweigh the cons. And also depends what's
- 36:45Speaker 4: in there too.
- 36:45Speaker 5: They said about cigarettes in the fifties.
- 36:47Speaker 4: Right, exactly, they make a man exactly nice? Did you
- 36:52Speaker 4: did you guys ever chew or anything like that? Dude,
- 36:54Speaker 4: you kind of with the jacket on and the bun on,
- 36:56Speaker 4: you seem like you could have a lip in.
- 36:59Speaker 1: The big league. You. Yeah, in there, I was, I
- 37:04Speaker 1: was mister straight edge. You never never want to taint
- 37:06Speaker 1: the body.
- 37:08Speaker 5: We'll talk about this, but yeah, my dad would have
- 37:10Speaker 5: kicked our ass if we had done any of that.
- 37:12Speaker 4: We could talk about it right now, Mitch, we rolling, baby,
- 37:15Speaker 4: we've been rolling. Well, we can cut everything. Don't you worry.
- 37:17Speaker 4: Don't you worry one bit. Obviously, Hey, you're in a
- 37:20Speaker 4: safe space, not a mistake. We're all good. But you
- 37:22Speaker 4: said your dad would have kicked your ass if you
- 37:25Speaker 4: were taking doing anything extra. Was it like a booze
- 37:28Speaker 4: or was it like, hey, we get past booze. Now
- 37:30Speaker 4: we got a problem.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Now. We were just from a family that was very
- 37:34Speaker 1: you know, our parents didn't drink didn't even drink wine. Naturally,
- 37:39Speaker 1: smoking is not good for you, and so I mean
- 37:42Speaker 1: it just it was just expected and coming from you know,
- 37:45Speaker 1: obviously father playing in the NFL. I mean, it was
- 37:48Speaker 1: common sense and so, I mean it was just a given.
- 37:52Speaker 1: You know. It wasn't like you we were sneaking around
- 37:54Speaker 1: and doing anything like that. But yeah, he probably would
- 37:58Speaker 1: have kicked our ass.
- 37:59Speaker 2: I think Clay Saint and said, you speak for yourself.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Yes, wowkright, go for it.
- 38:04Speaker 2: No, I don't think are the rebel of the family.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Oh me, No, No, no, Kyle, Kyle.
- 38:10Speaker 5: I think it's safe to say that which is which
- 38:14Speaker 5: is interesting what the dynamic within the family is now
- 38:17Speaker 5: in my role within the family. But to your question,
- 38:20Speaker 5: and to piggyback on what Clay said, I don't know
- 38:23Speaker 5: if it's a conversation my dad ever had with us, like, hey,
- 38:25Speaker 5: if you do these things like you know, you're in
- 38:28Speaker 5: big trouble. I think it's I think it's a combination
- 38:31Speaker 5: of to Clay's point, knowing that they weren't good for you.
- 38:34Speaker 5: My parents didn't do it so somewhat as a kid,
- 38:36Speaker 5: not often, but there's correlation, like your parents behavior and
- 38:39Speaker 5: modeling it. But I think also if I had to
- 38:43Speaker 5: look back, I don't know if I've ever done this
- 38:44Speaker 5: like in this the way I will now is like
- 38:48Speaker 5: and tell me if I'm right. We wanted to as boys,
- 38:51Speaker 5: we wanted to be our dad when we grew up.
- 38:52Speaker 5: My dad is like a superhero. You know, he's this
- 38:55Speaker 5: nineteen year NFL star, like good looking, jacked, great person,
- 39:00Speaker 5: and it still is. But like at the time, you know,
- 39:02Speaker 5: he's thirty, thirty five, forty and just and he didn't
- 39:05Speaker 5: do any of those things. And so subconsciously, I'm sure
- 39:08Speaker 5: there was part of that where it's like, well, if
- 39:09Speaker 5: he doesn't do it, we shouldn't do it either, if
- 39:11Speaker 5: we want to be that when we grow up again.
- 39:13Speaker 5: I don't know if that if that's like a specific
- 39:15Speaker 5: conversation he had with us, I can't remember that. You
- 39:18Speaker 5: just you just didn't do it, right.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Do you think the standard is the standard?
- 39:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 39:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's all you guys kind of knew.
- 39:24Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:24Speaker 4: When you you guys now have kids, do you find
- 39:27Speaker 4: it like you're gonna want to have those conversations say hey,
- 39:29Speaker 4: we don't do these things or just kind of lead
- 39:30Speaker 4: by lead by example the way your father did. Because
- 39:32Speaker 4: I feel like it's much easier to say, hey, don't
- 39:34Speaker 4: do these things. And obviously you don't want you don't
- 39:37Speaker 4: want to do those things yourself either, but to have
- 39:39Speaker 4: be like it's just known can be tough. It seems
- 39:42Speaker 4: like you guys got the message loud and clear. But
- 39:43Speaker 4: for having kids, have you guys approach it any differently?
- 39:46Speaker 5: Well? Yeah, my kids are a little older, and I
- 39:48Speaker 5: don't know if you're having those conversations with kids yet,
- 39:50Speaker 5: But like my oldest is fourteen. I got four kids,
- 39:53Speaker 5: my son Brody fourteen, daughters Kylie and Dixie who are eleven,
- 39:56Speaker 5: and seven, and then I got three year old son Murph,
- 39:58Speaker 5: and so Brody, I just I take kind of the
- 40:01Speaker 5: Trump tack. I Trump told his kids like no drugs,
- 40:03Speaker 5: no alcohol, you know, no tobacco, And I just say,
- 40:06Speaker 5: those are my rules. And I'm you know, I'd like
- 40:09Speaker 5: to think of myself as a principal father. You know,
- 40:11Speaker 5: I don't have a lot of rules, but the rules
- 40:12Speaker 5: I have, I feel confident to say, my kids know
- 40:15Speaker 5: where the line is and so those are those are
- 40:18Speaker 5: some of my very few rules in the house. And
- 40:20Speaker 5: so the answer to your question, I'm not I'm not
- 40:22Speaker 5: making the assumption our parents probably made with us and
- 40:25Speaker 5: luckily it turned out okay. But I'm having those conversations
- 40:29Speaker 5: with my children.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure I'm gonna have to have them as well.
- 40:32Speaker 1: But my youngest, my youngest is Colton, who's five. My
- 40:36Speaker 1: daughter just turned nine, Maddie, and my oldest, Clay, the
- 40:40Speaker 1: fourth is nine, will be or she's my daughter's eight,
- 40:43Speaker 1: my son's nine, he'll be ten. It's like a Crimarti
- 40:45Speaker 1: moment right here. But Colton's great at getting Daddy the
- 40:53Speaker 1: yellow can in the in the mini fridge, which is uh,
- 40:56Speaker 1: you know, the pills there, so, but we'll have those
- 40:59Speaker 1: conversations new lat Can for the I PA. But we'll
- 41:02Speaker 1: we'll have those conversations later.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
- 41:04Speaker 4: Dude, what when you were having being in the third,
- 41:07Speaker 4: when you were having a kid before you knew did
- 41:09Speaker 4: you want to did you want a boy? Did you
- 41:11Speaker 4: want that fourth?
- 41:12Speaker 1: I didn't care if it was a boy or girl
- 41:15Speaker 1: at the time. And then when we had him at
- 41:16Speaker 1: a way, yeah, it was just kind of a given.
- 41:19Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, I kind of got to
- 41:20Speaker 1: keep this going. But I did kind of waiver a
- 41:22Speaker 1: little bit, thinking like I don't want to name him
- 41:24Speaker 1: the fourth, Like we're getting into English royalty over here.
- 41:26Speaker 1: That shit's still fourth. It is. But it's funny because
- 41:30Speaker 1: I had through hearsay, I think my mom had said,
- 41:33Speaker 1: my Dad's like, I don't want the I don't want
- 41:34Speaker 1: the name to go away, and since obviously he was junior,
- 41:37Speaker 1: so I'm like, all right, we got to name the fourth.
- 41:38Speaker 1: But that was tricky out in Green Bay because it's
- 41:41Speaker 1: not a lot of people named Clay out there, and
- 41:42Speaker 1: they treat you, you know, the celebrity out there is unbelievable.
- 41:46Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of freedom, so we had to.
- 41:48Speaker 1: We called him Bubba, that was our nickname. And he's
- 41:50Speaker 1: still between the family, he goes by Bubba, and now
- 41:52Speaker 1: that we're out and then we're in the south now,
- 41:54Speaker 1: so Bubba actually fits in. But he finally goes by
- 41:56Speaker 1: Clay at school now because nobody cares about me anymore. Yeah.
- 42:00Speaker 5: Always, I always, I always think it's interesting. I'm the
- 42:03Speaker 5: oldest boy and my dad didn't give me that name,
- 42:06Speaker 5: And I swear to God, if he hadn't em me Clay,
- 42:08Speaker 5: I'd be six four, two hundred and fifty pounds. I'd
- 42:11Speaker 5: be sitting in an office somewhere typing out TPS report.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, along the way, did you ever did you
- 42:19Speaker 2: ever think about that, like feel some type of way
- 42:21Speaker 2: along the way like you were or your dad's junior,
- 42:25Speaker 2: and then ultimately Clay becomes a third, like I'm the
- 42:28Speaker 2: third as well, William orl the third, and I'm the oldest.
- 42:31Speaker 2: So I would I never had to think of.
- 42:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say, I don't know. I've never you know,
- 42:35Speaker 5: I know a lot of juniors and thirds, maybe not
- 42:37Speaker 5: as much for it, they're always the first. I've I
- 42:40Speaker 5: haven't thought about it other than like the joke like
- 42:42Speaker 5: I'm I've convinced myself that if I got the name
- 42:44Speaker 5: like just the way that Dyna, I'd be like, you know,
- 42:47Speaker 5: I'd be an ex NFL guy with a man bun,
- 42:49Speaker 5: but like you can only get away and if he
- 42:52Speaker 5: plays sports ory, you're a Yogans.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I used to live in Van Eye, so I can
- 42:59Speaker 1: go a different out with that man. But uh no,
- 43:03Speaker 1: So the reason why I was named is because I
- 43:05Speaker 1: guess uh ran out of names. Well no, from what
- 43:08Speaker 1: I've heard, and maybe my parents are lying to me,
- 43:10Speaker 1: is that when they had the the ultrasound back in
- 43:13Speaker 1: the day, they weren't that good, so they thought I
- 43:15Speaker 1: was a girl before I was born came out, I
- 43:17Speaker 1: was a boy, and I guess you gotta leave.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Why do they think you were a girl?
- 43:20Speaker 1: Though, Man, it's medicine, it's all good. They couldn't. I
- 43:26Speaker 1: couldn't see the easiest lay, but you have ever been
- 43:31Speaker 1: so yeah, So I guess my grandfather had called my
- 43:34Speaker 1: father and my mom and said, you know, want you
- 43:36Speaker 1: his name after me and my brother who's in between
- 43:39Speaker 1: Kyle and I here, his middle name is Clay because
- 43:42Speaker 1: that was going to be the you know, continuation of
- 43:44Speaker 1: that Clay name, and so now my name, my middle
- 43:47Speaker 1: name is actually Clay as well. It's William Clay Matthews.
- 43:49Speaker 1: So oh, let's go.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Taylor Curtis.
- 43:56Speaker 2: One day I get a boy, so I can carry
- 43:58Speaker 2: on the on the name if when you're a junior,
- 44:00Speaker 2: it's so easy.
- 44:01Speaker 4: I feel like, when you get to the third, the
- 44:02Speaker 4: fourth to fifth, you tell my royalty. I think that's awesome.
- 44:04Speaker 4: But being a junior is not the best. And you
- 44:07Speaker 4: had to have a nice name to William Earl's nice.
- 44:10Speaker 4: William Clay is great. Taylor Curtis. I don't want to
- 44:12Speaker 4: pass that down. I don't want to give that. I
- 44:14Speaker 4: don't want to give that bait ass name to my kids.
- 44:17Speaker 4: Give him something cool.
- 44:18Speaker 5: But now I got two girls.
- 44:20Speaker 4: Dude, I'm spitting. There's a whole there's a there's a
- 44:24Speaker 4: war going on this cold. We had a team meeting
- 44:30Speaker 4: last week and at the team meeting turned into JP
- 44:32Speaker 4: and a couple of guys being like, just have a third,
- 44:34Speaker 4: just have a third. So I'm obviously gonna been the knee. Like,
- 44:36Speaker 4: I don't know how your household works. I don't run
- 44:38Speaker 4: my show. There's nothing about my house. I'm like, yeah,
- 44:40Speaker 4: I'm the man, not if you want to does not happen.
- 44:43Speaker 4: I will be having a third kid, don't tell.
- 44:44Speaker 2: My wife has figured out that the only reason is
- 44:48Speaker 2: the nose because of him. So now we're trying to
- 44:50Speaker 2: try to get.
- 44:51Speaker 4: That one true And tell you made me feel a
- 44:53Speaker 4: little bit better because you said you got I'm here
- 44:55Speaker 4: fourteen eleven, nine and three. So that big gap sits
- 44:59Speaker 4: year down.
- 45:00Speaker 5: Said that was a COVID Like whoops.
- 45:03Speaker 4: Yeah, like hands.
- 45:05Speaker 5: My wife's always like, oh gosh, she's always like, she's
- 45:10Speaker 5: always like, you had one job. You couldn't even do that, right?
- 45:14Speaker 2: Did you ever?
- 45:15Speaker 4: Did you ever dabble with the idea of going to
- 45:16Speaker 4: get a little surgery?
- 45:18Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm medically retired now, yeah you're done.
- 45:21Speaker 2: Yeah I'm out.
- 45:22Speaker 5: I had to go red shirted out the baby making.
- 45:24Speaker 4: Game checks in the mail.
- 45:25Speaker 1: One.
- 45:26Speaker 5: But he was a little, you know, too little, too late.
- 45:28Speaker 2: So now sometimes you play that Russian roulette.
- 45:31Speaker 5: No, but but now we got the fourth. He's healthy,
- 45:33Speaker 5: you know, like when he turns eighteen, I'll be like, hey,
- 45:36Speaker 5: how you doing, Like what's your name? You know? No,
- 45:40Speaker 5: Murph is like, uh, you know, we get all the
- 45:42Speaker 5: kids together every almost every Saturday, and he's like the
- 45:45Speaker 5: little he's like the little pet like he's he's he's fun.
- 45:49Speaker 5: You know, you throw a ball and he goes and
- 45:51Speaker 5: gets it and then he brings it back. It's like
- 45:52Speaker 5: kind of a fetch thing.
- 45:53Speaker 4: Yeah, you plus plus if you having a fourteen eleven
- 45:58Speaker 4: year old, it's like you have built in babysitters.
- 46:00Speaker 5: Yeah, like no, no, not, my kids are.
- 46:01Speaker 4: Okay, we're gonna find a way around this thing.
- 46:04Speaker 5: But but now see so it's it's leverage, right, and
- 46:08Speaker 5: so when you have, as a related to air.
- 46:12Speaker 4: Well hold on with your kids. Is now I have leverage.
- 46:15Speaker 4: I can use it. I'm gonna come across.
- 46:18Speaker 5: No, I'm playing like with my fourteen year old. It's like, hey,
- 46:21Speaker 5: when especially as as the male with the air thing,
- 46:24Speaker 5: and you're like, when you got one, there's a lot
- 46:26Speaker 5: of leverage on his end. Now I'm like, you know,
- 46:28Speaker 5: I got an air and a spare, Like you mess up,
- 46:29Speaker 5: I got another one coming up the ranks. You know,
- 46:32Speaker 5: like I got a backup who's on a cheaper contract
- 46:34Speaker 5: and making plays like you can't sit out too many
- 46:36Speaker 5: games right now? You know, like it's called I hold
- 46:39Speaker 5: them accountable, right, Just know it's it's science ability availability.
- 46:44Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right.
- 46:45Speaker 5: Yeah, you know how that.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Is for the team you're against with the year old man?
- 46:48Speaker 2: What was it like growing up? So we last year
- 46:50Speaker 2: we had on we've had on Christan McCaffrey, and we
- 46:52Speaker 2: had on his dad, Ed McCaffrey, and Christian was telling
- 46:55Speaker 2: us stories how he couldn't get arm tackled growing up
- 46:58Speaker 2: or grabbed by the jersey, how you'd have to take
- 46:59Speaker 2: the jersey and everything else and if he'd get arm tackled,
- 47:01Speaker 2: he'd get grounded. Was your How was he told it?
- 47:04Speaker 4: He told a story about his dad went into the
- 47:06Speaker 4: backyard in the woods and found an empty coke can
- 47:09Speaker 4: and came to the house it was this and they
- 47:11Speaker 4: got grounded for drink and soda at least.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you you've got an interesting story because I
- 47:15Speaker 1: think you you put on didn't he have you put
- 47:18Speaker 1: on pads? And you did drills with him? Because I
- 47:20Speaker 1: I didn't have that experience.
- 47:22Speaker 5: Yeah, here here's I answer you a question. And then
- 47:25Speaker 5: he coached you more. But I was the oldest, so
- 47:28Speaker 5: like my understanding of the McCaffrey's which is very limited,
- 47:32Speaker 5: but I heard I heard that, like those stories is.
- 47:35Speaker 5: My father was the total opposite. And I'll give you
- 47:38Speaker 5: some examples here, like I didn't play football till ninth grade, right,
- 47:42Speaker 5: and I played in all sports, but I played soccer
- 47:46Speaker 5: as a fall sport, and it just just is what
- 47:47Speaker 5: it is. He never once pushed football. We never watched
- 47:53Speaker 5: a single football game in our house unless my dad
- 47:56Speaker 5: was playing, and even then we may or may not
- 47:58Speaker 5: watch it depending on the broadcast schedule. Never watched a
- 48:02Speaker 5: college football game until I played in one. Never watched
- 48:05Speaker 5: an NFL game unless my dad, maybe my uncle. I
- 48:07Speaker 5: don't even think we watched my uncle Bruce, Yeah he
- 48:11Speaker 5: was yes. So it was the total opposite. It was
- 48:16Speaker 5: very you know, kind of what we believe old school
- 48:18Speaker 5: parenting is, like you just let kids be kids. They
- 48:20Speaker 5: figured out like no involvement, nothing. When I was going down,
- 48:25Speaker 5: when I was getting ready to play football in college,
- 48:27Speaker 5: the only conversation my father ever had with me, and
- 48:30Speaker 5: you might have been different, was like, hey, uh, you
- 48:32Speaker 5: know you don't have to play football because I played football.
- 48:34Speaker 5: It was like Matthew's like emoting, which is non like yeah, yeah,
- 48:38Speaker 5: yeah cool.
- 48:42Speaker 2: That don't be too weird.
- 48:43Speaker 5: No, we were just weird. Well, what's just happened, you know,
- 48:48Speaker 5: But we were we are at a stop by. He's like, hey, uh,
- 48:50Speaker 5: you know you don't have to play football because I played.
- 48:52Speaker 5: I go, yeah, yeah, Dad, I know that. He goes, Okay,
- 48:54Speaker 5: I just want you to know that I was whoa
- 48:57Speaker 5: like he.
- 48:58Speaker 2: You know, I love you, right? Yeah?
- 48:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:01Speaker 2: No.
- 49:03Speaker 5: The only thing my dad retired when I was a
- 49:05Speaker 5: sophomore in high school. I mean, you think about that.
- 49:07Speaker 5: He played nineteen years, so like imagine your kids being
- 49:10Speaker 5: a sophomore in high school. When he retired, it was different.
- 49:13Speaker 5: And then he started coaching. Yeah, it's wild. And then
- 49:16Speaker 5: he started coaching me in high school and that was
- 49:19Speaker 5: the only involvement. By then I had chosen to play football.
- 49:22Speaker 5: He coached you a lot earlier because you were younger,
- 49:27Speaker 5: And the only time was heading into my senior year
- 49:31Speaker 5: in high school, they were moving me from like defensive
- 49:33Speaker 5: back down to like kind of outside rush, and I
- 49:35Speaker 5: think he thought I needed to truly probably did get
- 49:38Speaker 5: more physical. So he put pads on me and like
- 49:42Speaker 5: it was like one hundred degrees in a Gore Hills, Like,
- 49:44Speaker 5: he put pads on me, and during the summer he'd
- 49:46Speaker 5: make me go down and he would put pads on
- 49:49Speaker 5: and we'd have to do hitting drills. This is true,
- 49:52Speaker 5: this is this is.
- 49:52Speaker 4: Why he's still playing or just recently retired, like a
- 49:55Speaker 4: year out of the league. He's still got it.
- 49:57Speaker 5: No, he's he's like the.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Rock grid iron games.
- 50:01Speaker 5: Yeah. Like so on one hand, he had no involvement whatsoever.
- 50:06Speaker 5: He was just like, look, I'll let my kids figure
- 50:07Speaker 5: out who they are. If they're going to be players,
- 50:09Speaker 5: are gonna be players. If they're not, they're not. But yeah,
- 50:13Speaker 5: in high school he put on helmets and shoulder pads
- 50:16Speaker 5: and like I would have to go thump them. And
- 50:17Speaker 5: I remember like, and I was not that kid who
- 50:20Speaker 5: was about like getting best, Like what am I doing
- 50:21Speaker 5: out here right now? Like all my friends are at
- 50:23Speaker 5: the beach and so you're thinking about TPS reports. Yeah
- 50:26Speaker 5: that would come later, Yeah, that would come later when
- 50:29Speaker 5: you know, I realized I had no options, so, you know,
- 50:33Speaker 5: but that was the only thing. I don't know. Was
- 50:35Speaker 5: he different with you?
- 50:36Speaker 1: Well, I remember him taking me to the Golds gym
- 50:39Speaker 1: in like sixth grade, and I was just such a bitch,
- 50:43Speaker 1: like I didn't want to lift, you know, he was
- 50:45Speaker 1: putting the the brown paper towel over the neck machine
- 50:48Speaker 1: and I'm like, Dad, and I couldn't even do you know,
- 50:50Speaker 1: like a like a five on each side of the
- 50:53Speaker 1: you know, the bench press. I was embarrassed and I
- 50:55Speaker 1: didn't want to and I just want to play probably
- 50:57Speaker 1: Halo at the time, and I didn't really want to,
- 51:00Speaker 1: and it wasn't until and my dad was like he
- 51:02Speaker 1: tried to. But you know, at the end of the day,
- 51:04Speaker 1: like Kyle said, he's like, all right, man, like you know,
- 51:06Speaker 1: you do you and you figure it out.
- 51:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 51:09Speaker 1: And so my junior year I had a buddy still
- 51:11Speaker 1: my best friend of this day. He ended up getting
- 51:13Speaker 1: drafted by the Chicago Bears and oh wait, hurt his
- 51:16Speaker 1: back and you know, fell out of the league. But
- 51:19Speaker 1: ultimately we pushed each other. And so I was also
- 51:22Speaker 1: late to develop. So between my junior and senior year
- 51:24Speaker 1: in high school, I went through puberty and I probably
- 51:27Speaker 1: grew like four inches and put on like forty pounds.
- 51:30Speaker 1: So at that time I was big for where I
- 51:32Speaker 1: played football, and I was I was decent, but not
- 51:36Speaker 1: good enough to get a college scholarship. So ultimately, like
- 51:40Speaker 1: you know, as far as his uh wait.
- 51:42Speaker 5: What is that picture of my dad and my uncle
- 51:44Speaker 5: with their shirts off, go down bottom, right. I don't
- 51:46Speaker 5: think I've ever seen that. That's that sports.
- 51:51Speaker 4: Is win.
- 51:53Speaker 1: You find anything, But I mean, yeah, so you know,
- 52:00Speaker 1: we Yeah, he kind of just let us just develop
- 52:03Speaker 1: into our own person. And like I said, I don't
- 52:06Speaker 1: think there's a right or wrong way. Like I developed
- 52:08Speaker 1: a natural love for the game and appreciation for it, so,
- 52:12Speaker 1: you know, unlike the mcap obviously that's working well for
- 52:15Speaker 1: the mccaffreys, you know. So there was really no right
- 52:17Speaker 1: or wrong. But that's how he parented us, and when
- 52:20Speaker 1: he retired, he naturally jumped into coaching me as a kid.
- 52:23Speaker 1: So I've had his tutelage and coaching ever since I
- 52:27Speaker 1: was in I think third third grade, So you know,
- 52:31Speaker 1: that's why I've had I really think getting into the
- 52:34Speaker 1: league as a rookie, just having immediate success was just
- 52:37Speaker 1: because I grew up in that family. I knew what
- 52:39Speaker 1: was expected. I knew, you know, what was going to
- 52:43Speaker 1: come at me, money, fame, women, whatever it may be.
- 52:46Speaker 1: So I was ready to go.

- 53:40Speaker 4: When you talk about going not having a scholarship after
- 53:44Speaker 4: high school and then obviously you know your uncle, your dad,
- 53:47Speaker 4: like your entire family just like it's like, oh, you're
- 53:49Speaker 4: a Matthews.
- 53:50Speaker 2: You guys ever Matthew's family Wikipedia, Yeah, exactly, you have that.
- 53:55Speaker 4: Is there anything going through your head of like I
- 53:57Speaker 4: didn't live up to the name, or I didn't I
- 53:59Speaker 4: didn't you know, exceee, I didn't meet the expectations that
- 54:02Speaker 4: I'm supposed to meet. Whether it's your family putting on
- 54:04Speaker 4: you or you personally put it on yourself.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I never felt that at all. If I
- 54:08Speaker 1: got something I think about for my you know, my
- 54:10Speaker 1: son the fourth, I'm like, oh, shoot, man, you have
- 54:12Speaker 1: to live up these expectations. But I don't know if
- 54:15Speaker 1: that's how my dad felt. A lot of people ask me, oh,
- 54:19Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna play in the NFL, You're gonna
- 54:21Speaker 1: do this. I was just kind of doing my thing,
- 54:22Speaker 1: and I never felt pressure from him, much like he
- 54:25Speaker 1: told Kyle to live up to the expectation of play
- 54:29Speaker 1: in the NFL, playing for nineteen years and accomplishing all
- 54:33Speaker 1: that he accomplished. So mine was just natural and gradual.
- 54:37Speaker 1: But I never felt that pressure. You know. The pressure
- 54:39Speaker 1: that I felt was once I started ascending, got into
- 54:43Speaker 1: the NFL and wanted to maintain that standard and the name,
- 54:46Speaker 1: like you just said.
- 54:46Speaker 5: Yeah, well I could comment on that. So I felt
- 54:50Speaker 5: it tremendously, like it was a it was a weight
- 54:54Speaker 5: my whole life. I don't know if it's because I
- 54:55Speaker 5: was the oldest, or I just wired differently and Clay's
- 54:58Speaker 5: better at tuning things out than I am. It was
- 55:01Speaker 5: just you got it your whole life, and I was
- 55:04Speaker 5: really we both were, but me, i'd argue even more, so,
- 55:06Speaker 5: really small undersize our whole life. We're always like the Runts,
- 55:09Speaker 5: and so you know, and we moved around a lot,
- 55:12Speaker 5: like oftentimes we moved back and forth, but all all told,
- 55:15Speaker 5: we moved thirty plus times, you know, because my dad
- 55:18Speaker 5: would play for the Browns. So we'd moved to Cleveland
- 55:20Speaker 5: in July August and we live in Cleveland until December Januy,
- 55:23Speaker 5: we moved back.
- 55:24Speaker 1: To no off season at the time.
- 55:25Speaker 2: So yeah, live in l Yeah.
- 55:27Speaker 5: So it was a true off season, which means like
- 55:29Speaker 5: you see you later see in six months. So no
- 55:33Speaker 5: matter where I went, I would get comments like, man,
- 55:35Speaker 5: what what happened to you? You're a Matthews, Like you
- 55:38Speaker 5: must be a disappointment, Like you're why you're so undersized,
- 55:41Speaker 5: like you're the run like we all were. That I
- 55:43Speaker 5: would argue, but I, again, I don't know if I'm
- 55:45Speaker 5: wired different.
- 55:46Speaker 4: Kids and wife beaters.
- 55:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you're also the first one going through.
- 55:51Speaker 5: And I was the first one going through it, and
- 55:53Speaker 5: then part of it. Not to dismiss Clay's experience, because
- 55:56Speaker 5: that was his experience. Like he made it, right, I mean,
- 55:58Speaker 5: he made it and had a phenomenal career. Now that
- 56:00Speaker 5: wasn't always how it looked right, you know, certainly coming
- 56:04Speaker 5: out of high school and what he was able to
- 56:06Speaker 5: accomplish at as see, and the transformation physically and mentally
- 56:09Speaker 5: in his game to be a first round pick and
- 56:11Speaker 5: go on to have a brilliant career. I didn't and
- 56:14Speaker 5: so very much that in my humble opinion, led to
- 56:19Speaker 5: ultimately what and I'll let others define it, but like
- 56:22Speaker 5: if I've achieved success in business, I really give credit
- 56:27Speaker 5: to that drive, that motivation was. If you look at
- 56:30Speaker 5: the Matthews and again, you know, I want to be fair.
- 56:34Speaker 5: It's hard for me to be impartial with my family.
- 56:36Speaker 5: I love him tremendously. Like you look at the history
- 56:38Speaker 5: of the Matthews, especially on the male side, it's just
- 56:41Speaker 5: high achievement. Going back to my great grandfather, Maddie played
- 56:44Speaker 5: professional baseball and then ultimately was a boxing coach at
- 56:48Speaker 5: the Citadel. My grandfather Clay the first Clay Senior was drafted,
- 56:54Speaker 5: played for the forty nine ers. He played for the
- 56:56Speaker 5: forty nine ers, then went and served in the Airborne,
- 57:00Speaker 5: then went back played for the forty nine ers, got
- 57:03Speaker 5: out of the league. This is in fifty five fifty six,
- 57:05Speaker 5: because he had five kids, and you couldn't support a
- 57:06Speaker 5: family on five You couldn't support a family of five kids.
- 57:09Speaker 5: The area is right there. Handsome guy looks like me.
- 57:12Speaker 4: And so.
- 57:15Speaker 1: This is a trip.
- 57:16Speaker 5: Couldn't support a family of five on an NFL salary
- 57:19Speaker 5: because it wasn't. So he goes into business. Fast forward
- 57:22Speaker 5: twenty years. He's the CEO of a publicly traded company,
- 57:24Speaker 5: so highly successful.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Then you have.
- 57:27Speaker 5: There's four males in the next generation, my dad and
- 57:30Speaker 5: my uncle who are Hall of Fame effectively Hall of
- 57:33Speaker 5: Fame player. My father longest. I think most games NFL
- 57:37Speaker 5: history as a linebacker my dad, I could be wrong.
- 57:40Speaker 5: And then most games NFL history as a o lineman, Bruce,
- 57:43Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that's true, are still true. And then
- 57:46Speaker 5: the two other males were mentally handicapped.
- 57:49Speaker 1: So like that.
- 57:50Speaker 5: Where I'm getting is I'm the oldest male of the
- 57:53Speaker 5: next generation between me, Clay Bryan Casey on our side,
- 57:58Speaker 5: so four, and then how many males on Bruce six seven,
- 58:01Speaker 5: so eleven twelve, I'm the oldest. And then I played
- 58:04Speaker 5: football at SC and I get a letter, I play
- 58:07Speaker 5: some special teams. It does I realize I'm not going
- 58:09Speaker 5: to go to the NFL. Like I see I played
- 58:11Speaker 5: the same position at the same time as Troy Polamolo.
- 58:14Speaker 5: So I'm like, okay, that's an NFL guy.
- 58:16Speaker 4: Competition.
- 58:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.
- 58:20Speaker 2: Watching him kill that dude on that special thing is playing.
- 58:22Speaker 4: I was there.
- 58:23Speaker 5: I was I was there on the sideline. No, but
- 58:28Speaker 5: but I I very quickly I said, okay, that's an
- 58:30Speaker 5: NFL guy.
- 58:30Speaker 4: That's not me.
- 58:31Speaker 5: And so I go into the I go into commercial
- 58:34Speaker 5: really say the work, the workplace, and I'm sitting there
- 58:36Speaker 5: my first day at work, like sitting in a cube
- 58:39Speaker 5: like kind of what all athletes you know have dread, Like,
- 58:42Speaker 5: oh no, that nine to five, so to speak. It's
- 58:44Speaker 5: it's not that bad. It just very much, you know,
- 58:47Speaker 5: think of a visual representation. I said, well, I'm not
- 58:49Speaker 5: going to be the first average Matthews Like, okay, it's
- 58:52Speaker 5: not going to be the NFL. If it's going to
- 58:53Speaker 5: be this real estate thing, I'm going to do whatever
- 58:56Speaker 5: it takes to be the greatest of all time because
- 58:59Speaker 5: I'm not going to be the first in my line
- 59:01Speaker 5: to be an average and to not leave a mark
- 59:03Speaker 5: for whatever that's worth. And you could say, oh, expectations,
- 59:06Speaker 5: that's not fair, that's silly. That's true, Like that's what
- 59:09Speaker 5: drove me and fast forward, you know, ostensibly twenty years
- 59:13Speaker 5: to the position I'm in in my industry. Expectations was
- 59:17Speaker 5: and to this day is the primary driver outside the
- 59:21Speaker 5: ones we all have, which is supporting our family and
- 59:24Speaker 5: well creation, wealth and things like that. So it was huge,
- 59:27Speaker 5: huge for me, and to this day is I don't
- 59:29Speaker 5: want to let down that legacy. And I'm sure people
- 59:32Speaker 5: listening is like, well, that's stupid. That's what I felt, right.
- 59:35Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
- 59:35Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it makes a lot of sense. How long
- 59:38Speaker 4: did it take you to kind of feel like at
- 59:40Speaker 4: peace with the end? Not make it to the NFL
- 59:44Speaker 4: going into more of a traditional job because I think
- 59:46Speaker 4: a lot of people that listen to the show, we
- 59:48Speaker 4: have a lot of x NFL players on, we don't
- 59:50Speaker 4: have a lot of people that are you know, just
- 59:52Speaker 4: played college and then we're highly successful in the real
- 59:54Speaker 4: estate world. So more people than not have to make
- 59:56Speaker 4: that transition earlier than people that are usually on the
- 59:58Speaker 4: show that it probably won't don't know like how like
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: how long did it take you to come to peace
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: with like one to the next chapter?
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: It took a minute to get that one out.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: But well, here's what he had such a good job
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: articulating the entire journey. Question.
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: Yeah, here's here's what you can.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: Tell he's in the CDs. You know why.
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: Yeah, here's here's what.
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: I want to make sure I answer your question because
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: there's like a couple of things to impact there. So
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: the first I want to say that I have had
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: time to think about this, and I am convinced that
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: it was a blessing for me never really to get
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: traction as a player into college in the NFL. I
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: I and I have I've seen this firsthand, both within
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: my family and outside my family, that I actually think
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: it's harder if you play in the league four or
- 1:00:45Speaker 5: five years. It's like a tease, like you actually taste
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: and touch it and you get you get paid, whether
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: it's the minimum three ninety five. I don't know if
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: that's still it or you get paid three million bucks
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: a year to do that for four or five years
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: and you do get some wealth and then for the
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: career not to work out and you're thirty and you say, okay,
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: what do I do now? And then you start in
- 1:01:03Speaker 5: a career. Let's just say just like mine, and let's
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: say you're starting salaries fifty five grand. You're like fifty
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: five grand like I made that per quarter, right, And
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: it's such it's such a mind buck, right, It's it's
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: not it's really hard. I never had to overcome that,
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: and so I'm sensitive and I have empathy for the
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: athletes who actually did play. They didn't play long enough.
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: If I may to not, at least financially ever have
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: to work again, Whether you should or shouldn't, that's that's opinion.
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: But like to where financially you know, you probably don't
- 1:01:33Speaker 5: need to worry about money. A lot of athletes they
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: play a little bit and then it's taken away. So
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: again I want to make sure I answer your question.
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: I think it was easier for me, and it wasn't easy,
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: but it was easier for me because I never even
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: I never even tasted that or touched it or experienced that.
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: So I went straight from you know, kind of a
- 1:01:50Speaker 5: special teamer in college to like the workforce. And so
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: the answer to your question is it it's it's very hard,
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: and it it gets easier over time, but you never
- 1:02:02Speaker 5: truly get over it. And I don't know. I don't
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: know if if a guy who played fifteen years and
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: never has to work again and made all pro and
- 1:02:11Speaker 5: is in the Hall of Fame ever gets over it.
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: You see it every day. I don't know if any
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: of you guys will ever get over it. It's so hard,
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: you know, to have that life when you're twenty seven,
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: and then fast forward to forty seven, and you know,
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: people care less and you make less. So it just
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: it was really hard. Early on, I'm sitting in that cube,
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: I'm working at the time. I usually get in the
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: office at five forty five to six, and I worked
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: till eight thirty nine at night, like five days a
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: week plus Saturdays. And all of my teammates, my close
- 1:02:36Speaker 5: friends from SC like I would say all a lot
- 1:02:38Speaker 5: of them are playing in the league, especially at that
- 1:02:40Speaker 5: time with Pete Carroll and g I ay say it
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: was early two thousands early two thousands, and he came
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: in right after there was a ten year run where
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: like in any given year, you know, ten fifteen year
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: teammates were going to the league, and everyone going there
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: was like I'm going to the NFL. Whether that happened
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: or not, obviously, you know, not everybody made it. But
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: you know guys that I played with, Sean Cody, a Loofuz,
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: Super obviously, Lionert Bush, all those guys like they're playing
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: and they're moving on, and I'm you know, sitting in
- 1:03:06Speaker 5: a much less glamorous light, you know, wearing a suit
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: and tie and and uh, you just everybody handles it differently.
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: I just again getting back to partly the not letting
- 1:03:17Speaker 5: the Matthew saying. Now, I said, I'm just not gonna
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: I'm just not gonna let these guys have these big
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: lives and I'm not. And if it's real estate, I
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: don't know how. I don't know how I'm gonna do it,
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: but I'm gonna figure it out. Like I'm not going
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: to be the only unsuccessful teammate. I'm not going to
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: have my teammate say hey, we're gonna go here and
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: say sorry, I can't do that or I can't afford that.
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: And again one of my big driver was the family legacy,
- 1:03:40Speaker 5: but one of many drivers you have or you hope
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: you have when you're when you're getting getting out of sports.
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: Did I answer your question?
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we knocked it out of the park.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: It's kind of that if you can tell you understood
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: this about Kyberfest is kind of the first time you're
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: hearing all of it, and.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Like, well, as far as the legacy is concerned, that's
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: definitely new to me. And it doesn't sup though, and
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: it doesn't the reason why he's had a success, But
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: as to where that motivator comes from, you know, I mean,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: I think that's I'm not gonna say a surprise, but
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: it's interesting to hear because obviously it's Matthews. We talk
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: about how we're emotional but not a motive. So to
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: have these conversations, you know, you're like, oh, okay, it's
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: usually when it's a little a little late, but yeah,
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: to your point about you know, like us kind of yeah,
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: I don't think any of us we have to be
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: at peace with when our career comes to end, because
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: I don't think any of us wanted to give it up. No,
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: highest paid probably at one point. I know I was
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Pro Bowls, All Pros ten years. Yeah, argue, I'm a
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: little round up for you.
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: If you include Dynasty Mode in Madden.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and you know, so you have to be
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: at peace with that. You have to, you know, because
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: it's it's you can't sit here because obviously I still
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: felt like I have I had some tread on the
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: tires when the Rams let me go in two thousand
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: and nine team, but you still feel like you got tread. Well,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: I do have tread, It's just you know, it's more
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: around my stomach right now.
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: So's but you do look like you could, Yeah, if
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: the playoff team needed you right now, right plus the jacket.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: The packers said they we're looking for someone, but we
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: saw that ended.
- 1:05:17Speaker 5: But no one really ever gets over it.
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: No one ever gets over it. But you're right, you
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: got to have you have to have some sort of peace.
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: You have like you you have gratitude. Other than being
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: like I wish I could have done X, Y and Z,
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: you have to look back and be like, man, I'm
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: so lucky I got to do whatever it is, whether
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: it was for a couple of years, or if you're
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: a Hall of Fame type.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: Guy, this is hard. It's hard to think like that too.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: It is usually a forced out of the league for
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: whatever reason. Injuries, new GM, new head coach, team sucks,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: you know, whatever it may be. So it's always somebody
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: else's fault. You got to look in the mirror too
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: and be like, whoever's fault to us? You got to
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: let it go and you know, be at peace. So
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: and you know, obviously you're still working. But for me,
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: I learned that from my father, you know, as soon
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: as he retired. It's just he would always say he's
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: at peace. So I'm like, all right, well.
- 1:05:59Speaker 4: Time to do it. Well he's at a piece. Then
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: he's ever been at peace.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: Even if you're the greatest and that ego is still there,
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: it's only gonna take what probably a decade for a
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: generation to start kind of forgetting. Then you're like, do
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: these guys forgot what I did? If you're so tied
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: to that identity of being the best of all time?
- 1:06:15Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think your mind plays tricks on you,
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: like this will sound stupid. I to this day, I'm
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: forty two. I never even played in the NFL, and
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: I'll watch a game be like I think I can
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: play like today, like if I if I'm really trained,
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: like and that's a joke, but I guarantee you and
- 1:06:29Speaker 5: all the athletes like you're like if I just wake
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: up tomorrow and I get like, I think I could
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: get back to it, and then you work out hard
- 1:06:35Speaker 5: for like two days, You're like, let.
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: Me stop you there. I've been we go to a
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: lot of games during the fall, and I'll watch warm
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: ups and I'm just like, how the fuck do people
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: do this? The more you're removed, like the callous leaves
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: and you're just like, you know, I get up and
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: I'm like I grab I see guys like block a
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: little bit. I grab my knee.
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't know's it's It's a hard sport
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: on everybody, but big guys, it's really hard.
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: If you watch the playoffs yesterday, you see Jayden Daniels
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: take that hit on the sidelines, It's like, what are
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: we doing on here?
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Boys? I watched my kids like jump off the coffee table.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: I'm like looking at his knees.
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: Mine my kids like bump their like or whatever. I'll
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: kind of like a seven.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was in Chicago on Friday, they played
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: pickup basketball in the afternoon, and I shoot you, now,
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: bro Ran, I've been down the court three times and
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: my chest for the rest of the day, I'm like
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: hawking Logan's yeh. I'm like, man, yeah, it's It's not
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: that I thought it was never over, but it's for sure.
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: Even waking up this morning, like, I still have some
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: inflammation on my knees just from playing pickup BASKETBA.
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: That's what makes it so impressive about some guys who
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: took a year off and you never really see success
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: other than Trent Williams. Trent Williams the only guy I've
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: ever seen take a year off come back and be
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: the same, if not better than they were before.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Yeah, he's built different that Sorry to cut you off.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: That's what I felt when I was let go from
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: the Rams. It was March of COVID Denver in Seattle
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: called and they called it you know, a week one
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: of that next I guess the twenty twenty season, and
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: I had let myself, Like you said that callous, I
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: removed myself just a little bit, and deep down I
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: started well, I started filling in where I wasn't in
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: the kids' lives, you know, getting to school, picking them up, homework,
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And I felt myself gravitating towards
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: that role and slipping whatever you'd like to call it,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: pushing football further away to where they would call and
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: you're just like, ah, man, this ain't so bad.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: On the other side, yeah, the manuy, you get a
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: couple of weekends to yourself and you see your team,
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: Like I remember when it was the year I went
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: to Oakland, but my year before that, I was with
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: the Titans, and the Titans started off that's when that
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: was the whole AFC championship. You started off like losing
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: four in a row maybe, or you guys were two
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: and four. But I'm sitting there, I'm like, thank god,
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: I don't got to go in tomorrow because the just
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: the bubble that you're in football wise, Like, thank god,
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: I'm not about to get it viscerated by Rabel and
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: a team meeting.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: But I thought you were coming back though, with Braves
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: going over to New England.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: I might be there's a couple of calls, a couple
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: of conversations, maybe just the chemistry guy, locker room guy,
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: just a strictly vibes guy. Yeah.
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: Yeah, stretches job, that stretches job. Take the track.
- 1:09:06Speaker 5: Yeah that guy Glenny Balls eats ice cream.
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: Yeah, you're that just sitting in the corner of the meeting. Yeah,
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: eat some food, taking his jokes extra hard. Yeah, you're
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: the funniest man. Yeah. He's at the team meaning you
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: get off under the desk, go ahead, coach.
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: He's just like you just totally nailed, Like awesome, dude.
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: No one can touch you, right yeah.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Yeah, the fluffer. What was it like, Clay for you?
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: Like I was reading somewhere where you would have liked
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: to have finished in Green Bay, like the legacy that
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: you had in Green Bay. What was it like for
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: you going to the rams and you were just kind
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: of talking about the Denver in Seattle and your kind
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: of feeling you're kind of out of it, like coming
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: to coming to terms with your career.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I was disappointed in how my time in
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: Green Bay ended. So my contract was up after the
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season. I played, you know, I played out
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: two contracts and we we had a defensive coordinator. In
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: my first nine years, I was rolling. My tenth year,
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: we had a new decordinate out of career low in sacks.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: But I knew I could still play, you know as
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: well everybody says that, but I'm like, I know I
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: can still play. I know it and get to the
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: quarterback him. Obviously they decided to go in a different direction.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: Would you play an inside a little bit more?
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Yeah, thats what I was the two thousand and fifteen
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: twenty sixteen season. Uh, and they obviously held that against
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: me when they say your sack numbers are down, I
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: was like, well, I just made two Pro Bowls and
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: I'll pro it inside linebacker.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: But of course, just bullshit, you had like sixty tackles
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: as an inside.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Yeah, grow did you see my impact?
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Twenty fourteen were line back on.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Swinging at the air that you have, not that we
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: were saying. We argued that we should have got in there.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: But how did this dude Clay Matthews just off his
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: name again?
- 1:10:45Speaker 5: Maybe if you grow your hair out, it takes discipline.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: A Yeah, twenty fourteen were the thirty first ranked run defense.
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: That was the year we choked to Seattle on the playoffs,
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: and then the second half of that season top five
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: when I moved inside.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: Okay, argue against Yeah, yeah, stand up, you're right Williams.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: I still got the ego.
- 1:11:06Speaker 4: I still got the ego, but the impact I made it.
- 1:11:10Speaker 5: He hasn't memorized that anything.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: I just know it. So they let me go, and
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: are they let me? You know, Hey, we appreciate all
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: you've done here. That's now.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: Are they communicating with you a lot?
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: Like?
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: No?
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: That's That's what I was disappointed with is you know,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: they had insinuated that they were going to bring me
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: back or at least, hey, you go out, you know,
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: field some offers, we'd like to match it. And then
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: I find out on Twitter they signed Preston and Zadarius
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: Smith and I'm like, oh, well, you know, and so
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: they call, you know, a couple of minutes later, appreciate
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: everything you've done, you know, yeah, we'll see you down there.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: How enraged were you with that phone call? I?
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: I was kind of shook, you know, because I didn't
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: expect that. You know, we my wife, no, we were
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: all staying back there in the off season because there
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: was some uncertainty. We had our third child out there,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: and I thought I'd for sure be coming back, and
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: so that that was you know, I just It was
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: in all a little bit and I think a lot
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: of people, a lot of fans thought that I chose
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: to leave to go to LA being an LA kid
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: and whatnot. But the reality was, you know, at that point,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: and we're also four or five six days in the
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: free agency. So these coaches, these teams like, oh man,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: I didn't know you know. They we thought you were
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: going to resign there. And so the Rams and the
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Ravens were the two teams that reached out. And I
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: talked to Eric Weddle, he was with the Ravens, signed
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: with the Rams, and Rams were coming off the Super
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Bowl from LA. Baltimore was offering a little bit more
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: money and they just came off a season with Lamar
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: had just been drafted. Let's just say they were eight
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: and eight. I'm like, oh man, this guy's not gonna
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: be any good. They're not eight. Jared goff In the ramsay, yeah, McVeigh.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: So I opted to go to LA. We didn't even
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They cut me loose. After year, Baltimore
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: went fourteen and two. They had like twelve Pro Bowl starters.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, MVC, I'm like, man, I'm talking about
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: a bad decision. But I really though twenty eleven we
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: went far teen and one in Green Bay. In twenty
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: nineteen my year in LA were two of my favorite years,
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: So I can't speak disparagingly on the RAMS. I really
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: enjoyed my time there and playing with Aaron Donald, who
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: freed up so much for me. I mean, it was
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: the first time since my rookie year that I wasn't
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: double teamed anymore. And speaking of those stats, I was
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: top five and like rush win percentage with like Bosa
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: and TJ. Watton and year eleven. So but yeah, I mean,
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: I don't know here was that twenty nineteen.
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't play because you would have gone against
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: handled probably.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: Unless it was the first six games, no nineteen.
- 1:13:35Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the first six games PERSONA four.
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:13:38Speaker 4: Yeah, we spend it.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: Yeah we we We played you once, although I didn't play.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: I was injured at the time.
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: You guys just hey, when you were injured, I was like,
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: thank god.
- 1:13:46Speaker 5: You see you see the starters out, You're like game,
- 1:13:49Speaker 5: especially when you got kicked out.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: He got kicked out. Ltroit guy on came across the line,
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: he knocked over Mary.
- 1:13:56Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we did a hard count. He he jumped
- 1:13:58Speaker 4: and he pushed Marcus down. You were not having that.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: Well, they the reps, weren't having you when they kicked
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: you out of the game.
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: That I will say I was in. I was in
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: for four place and I was a part of still
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: sixty percent of Demarcolm Murraysey roast Yard. It's not a
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: big deal, but uh, I got objected from that game
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: because I'm looking at whoever that guy is and the
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: ref had his hand on my chest.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: But the rest risk that's right.
- 1:14:20Speaker 4: You just like moved a hind and I'm like, he's like,
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: you're gone. You're out here, buddy. There is not a
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: lonelier feeling they're in that locker room. I had my
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: pants on that halftime still when they came in, and
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: I'm like in the corner, kind of like will would
- 1:14:32Speaker 4: be in Rape's meeting room if you went to the
- 1:14:34Speaker 4: past and they lost, like just kind of scared.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: Wow, shot, right, That's what I'm talking about.
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: But that was Yeah, thank god we won that game.
- 1:14:47Speaker 4: Thank god. I thought we were gonna get killed that game.
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: I forget what happened. I think we we just didn't play.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: What year was that, sixteen? Yeah, sixteen sixteen sixteen sixteen, Yeah,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: ye to your own fans or to us.
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: It was more of the refs, But it was just
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: a nice photo of me with one of those.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: What did you what was the Did you get a
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: fine for just getting injected or did you get to it?
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: I got a thirty thousand dollars fine for being injected,
- 1:15:08Speaker 4: and I think it got rescinded though, because they're like, yeah,
- 1:15:10Speaker 4: they shouldn't have ejected.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: You by the scaling and you got the victory, and
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: you did. It's just like fifteen games season to start.
- 1:15:15Speaker 5: Yes, I got a lot of street cred, but I
- 1:15:18Speaker 5: already had that going on.
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: That's the reason it was like my that was my year.
- 1:15:22Speaker 4: I came on the scene a little bit. That's when
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: I had like my first Pro Bowl. Things were going
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: really well. We ended up going nine and seven after
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: going two and fourteen and three and thirteen, so that's
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: when they really started to go from me. A little
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: bit short lived, but it was still a nice couple
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: of years.
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: I love how recently was their pods. There's like a
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: new story that we get to hear about with you,
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: which I mean just oh, yeah, you got injected. I
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: haven't heard that one you haven't heard. Yeah.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: The other good one was we it was preseason game.
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: I was going to bring this up.
- 1:15:48Speaker 4: This is my this is my welcome to the NFL moment.
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: No, no, no, you can you tell that one. This
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: was a this was preseason, like several years later from
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: your rookie year. Maybe it's week three, week four.
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: We're in We're in lambre Bay.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: Yeah, Lambeau and I still am good friends with. Of
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: course I'm blanking on his name right now. Kyler Kyler
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: fact Team, Kyler Kyler factro. He actually had eleven sacks
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. But anyways, you were you you guys
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: were going at it in the first and he's an
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: LDS member, good old boy, you know more man, and
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: you were just laying into him. He comes to sideline,
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: he's like, he's telling me to go fuck myself. Like
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: I was like, let's put that guy man, go get on,
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: trying to coach him up, like just running down his face.
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: Pre season game. You had a you had a bucket
- 1:16:32Speaker 4: hat on a bunch of season out there.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: Don't you only bully you around?
- 1:16:37Speaker 4: Yeah, there is nothing more enjoyable than a fourth preseason
- 1:16:40Speaker 4: game just sitting with the boys do. Would they make
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: you wears sholder pets they worshoulder pats.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: Yeah, they would, they would. Some some would take it,
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: like Charles Woodson would take it off but you know
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: later right exactly. But I had to keep it on.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: But yeah, that that was funny the story you told
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: me when yeah, talking about.
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: We met at uh Thomas's charity event or his wife's
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: Love One charity event, and I was I literally like like, hey,
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: Clay Matthews here and I kind of like ran over
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: there like a little fan. We'd like talk for thirty minutes.
- 1:17:08Speaker 4: It was that little brodown and uh yeah, my rookie year.
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: It was like the third preseason game and I was
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: I was not a starter. Was Michael Roose as the starter?
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: But I was in in that bullshit? Uh not the
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: tight end but the wing. Not No, I'm sorry. I
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: was the tight end on field goal, which is the
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: worst position you can possibly be on ever in the
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: history of football. You just take three dudes to the
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: face constantly. But preseason I'm thinking I'm gonna be all right,
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: You're lined up on Michael Roose and like kind of
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: on his shoulder. Yeah, ruses down there ten year videos,
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: Hey Clay go easy, and he just seees get the rookie,
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: and you really just watched Clay in a four point
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: stance shift over and I'm like, hey, what's going on here?
- 1:17:48Speaker 4: Ball snap dude takes me and there's not like a
- 1:17:51Speaker 4: couple guys on me. This is just Clay drives my
- 1:17:53Speaker 4: ass in the ground, doesn't doesn't say a word either,
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: and jogs off and I'm kind of like helt myself up,
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: Like damn motherfucker.
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: I actually felt was like, no, not at the time,
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was like, I'm sorry for that, but
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: you know, you got to think like you probably just scored.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: I actually so I went home on man, I don't
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: remember that, but I remember it was pouring rain.
- 1:18:11Speaker 4: It was, yeah, it was. I love that it affected
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: you enough because I kind of went home and I
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: told my life. I was like, I hope he feels
- 1:18:17Speaker 4: bad about it.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: I went home and I was like, I just didn't remember.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: I was like, I sprite. We put a preseason again.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: That's when Julius came out there to to Green Bay
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: and I'm like, I must have scored and I just
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: took it out on him.
- 1:18:27Speaker 4: But no, it was Michael, it wasn't It.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Was always actually rus because.
- 1:18:31Speaker 4: I remember like seeing you and I'm there thing to
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: myself that those fucking forms are massive and they were
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: just vascular, and then all of a sudden the forums
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: got closer to me. And by the way, a lot
- 1:18:41Speaker 4: of hair on your arms, because I remember it vividly,
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: and you just took my.
- 1:18:45Speaker 5: Ass out, all right, well and put put me in

- 1:20:19Speaker 1: Didn't get one scholarship.
- 1:20:20Speaker 5: So when I went to you, oh, Pete Carroll his

- 1:20:42Speaker 1: to Yeah, I was just gonna get into it, but yeah,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: I felt like I deserved one. After so, they they
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: have this you know, your g P A, I think
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: your team GP. I don't know if this is still
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: you know, with the nil and whatnot, has to be
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: a certain you know what a threshold. And so every
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: year they give scholarship to like fifth year walk on
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: to bring up the GPA of the teams. Mostly well,
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: you know, there would be like there's just be some guys.
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: And I felt like after my first year, I felt
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: like I deserved a scholarship. It was kind of crazy
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: to think, but I felt like I earned it as
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: a post to the other guys were getting.
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: It in the fashion of the way you performed on
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: the team.
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: Well, I was red shirted, but going into that next year,
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: I was on kickoff and I think punt, so I
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: just felt like I had, you know, but I didn't
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: say anything. And then the next year, you know, they
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: kind of gave me one of the opening.
- 1:21:32Speaker 5: So your third year, I guess.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: That'd be my restures sophomore year, reh fresher year. I
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: was just trying to keep my head above water. I
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: was I was like the scout team running back where
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: guys were tackling me. I was the pulling guard for
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: dns who were trying to spill it. I was like,
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: this is this, hold up?
- 1:21:50Speaker 7: Hold up?
- 1:21:52Speaker 5: When I got to sc we had three practices today.
- 1:21:55Speaker 5: These are three days, all right, And then heading into
- 1:21:58Speaker 5: like this was freshman soft more and it was really tough.
- 1:22:02Speaker 5: And then there were a couple of athletes who passed
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: away that summer off season workouts. It was a guy
- 1:22:08Speaker 5: at Florida State. Then there was maybe an alignment and
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: the bikingkes and so the n CUAA switched, you know,
- 1:22:14Speaker 5: changer with they regulated practice where you can't have more
- 1:22:17Speaker 5: than two practices a day, like two days in a row,
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: all right. So it started to get easier. But when
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: I got in his brutal this guy comes in right
- 1:22:25Speaker 5: after me.
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: Get this.
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: So he's he's gonna be a red shirt, is what
- 1:22:29Speaker 5: it is like. You know, he's a walk on, he's
- 1:22:31Speaker 5: gonna be camp fodder. You know, he gets down there
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: for like the first practice. Then they rule him ineligible
- 1:22:39Speaker 5: or something. He skipped the entire red shirt camp.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: Yeah what happened. Now, it was a clearinghouse. So I
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: had good grades, but some paperwork didn't get submitted because.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: I was actually have good grades.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I got, I got. They sent me
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: home after a week, and like I said, that first
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: week was rutal because you know, you're like the man
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: in high school no matter where you went, and uh, man,
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: I just remember coming home telling my parents like I
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: wanted to quit. I was like, I want to be
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: closer at home, go to U C. L A and
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: all this stuff. And fortunately I didn't go back till
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: after Reggie. Uh we beat Virginia Tech and he that
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: was his heisman year two thousand and four when we
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: won the national championship. But I didn't go back to
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: week one of practice. So that honestly saved me because
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: I was, man.
- 1:23:23Speaker 5: I was, I'm sitting there sitting in my cube, like
- 1:23:26Speaker 5: what he does have to practice the whole camp. I'm like, man,
- 1:23:29Speaker 5: how does this guy get away with it?
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: A walk on, walk on freshman, They try to break you,
- 1:23:34Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
- 1:23:35Speaker 5: Yeah, summer you did summer workouts still, yeah, I I
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: you started coming.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: Down, yeah, you know, but I didn't have to. No, Yes,
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: I did do summer. I think I did summer. But
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: fall camp was like, you know, and especially understand which
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: I'm sure as you know, being a you know, high
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: were you highly recruited at high school?
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: And I mean I know I had like a crazy
- 1:23:54Speaker 4: come up my senior year, but I a scholarships American.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, to football. Well, but it's very it's
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: very clique, as you know, and so if you're a
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: walk on, and there's a negative connotation of walk on,
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: so you're kind of putting this bubble with the frat
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: boys and whatnot. But I was, I was getting at earlier.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: I lied to some of these guys, like what scholarships
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: did you have? I picked the worst teams in the patch.
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: I was like Arizona, Arizona State. I threw an Idaho,
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: you know. I was like, no one's gonna check it.
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: So I kind of, you know, I fit in there.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: But then uh, yeah, you're in the top right at
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: Young Troy, right there in the front left, the.
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: Holy White Boy.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: It's a good feeling.
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: Yeah, but I forgot. I'm on a tangent right now.
- 1:24:36Speaker 4: You tell you're telling all the guys about the scholarships
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: you had. You picked the worst teams.
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: Yeah, so no would check me and and I wouldn't.
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: I feel better about myself. So that's that. But yeah,
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: I didn't get any scholarhip co of high school, but
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: I did obviously earn one when I was.
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: Just to throw this out there, and Cayle, you can
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: help fact check me if I'm wrong here. But you
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: thought you deserved a scholarship after your red shirt you
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: sorryn't even go to red shirt training camp.
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: No, not my red shirt my second year. I I apologize,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, we've got it all.
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: Yeah, what kind of stories like you played with Leonar
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: and Bush, like you hear all this stuff. He got
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: his heisman taken away for the things that would happen
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: heads a Kardashian. Yeah, under Pete Carroll's regime, he goes
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: off to Seattle. Do you have any stories? Yeah, man
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: about the l A.
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: You know, like you guys, that's when like USC was
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: truly going legitimate celebrities like you were celebrities to the celebrities.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: Yeah, you go on rivals dot Com and you see
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: them in their gray T shirt cut off T shirts
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: working out, and you be that's the place. You see
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: that red that red wooden fence behind her. There were
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: there were three schools.
- 1:25:40Speaker 4: I want to go to. USC was one of them.
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: Just that was.
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: Was that real quick.
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: Oh nine would have been my freshman year. Oh nine.
- 1:25:48Speaker 4: And as Pete was still there.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: Well, I know Tyron Smith was still there, but he
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: might have been like a junior or he.
- 1:25:54Speaker 4: Got drafted on twenty eleven, twelve.
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: I think I remember my senior year like these tackles
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: it was Khalil Khalil, uh Matt Khalil, and they were
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: so skinny and sunny. I'd come back and they're like
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: first round draft picks. Yeah.
- 1:26:08Speaker 4: There was one guy I can't remember who's in my class.
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: He was like the number five tackle. It was like,
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: I can't he he had a family like his dad
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: also put at USC. But I was like the I
- 1:26:17Speaker 4: was two fifty five. I was the way I am
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: right now. My senior of high school, like trying to
- 1:26:20Speaker 4: get scholarships on potential. This kid was like three ten already, Like,
- 1:26:25Speaker 4: you know, this kid looks like he can play in
- 1:26:26Speaker 4: the league. I can't remember his name. I had a
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: huge vendetta against him my entire college career, as you should.
- 1:26:32Speaker 4: Yeah till you keep the chip on the shoulder. Yeah,
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: well big one or two guys.
- 1:26:35Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, and you just you create narratives in
- 1:26:37Speaker 5: your head, you know, yeah, whatever you got to do
- 1:26:39Speaker 5: to get yourself up in the morning. So you know,
- 1:26:43Speaker 5: we I think you probably like me. We get this
- 1:26:46Speaker 5: question on what was it like, you know, la celebrities
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: paying players, Like I hate to disappoint at least my experience,
- 1:26:55Speaker 5: and I can't say I was you know, I was
- 1:26:57Speaker 5: boys with all those guys, like I can't necessarily say
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: I was running in the Hollywood circuit with Liner and
- 1:27:02Speaker 5: Reggie like that wasn't necessarily my vibes at the time
- 1:27:05Speaker 5: or ever, but uh it was. It was really a
- 1:27:08Speaker 5: credit to Pete carroll Man and a lot of the
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: company I run today. I founded almost a decade ago
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: and run I unbeknownst to me at the time, Like
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: I got to see a highly successful high performance organization run,
- 1:27:21Speaker 5: in my opinion, as good as it possibly can. Where
- 1:27:23Speaker 5: Pete created this insane level competition like iron sharpens iron,
- 1:27:27Speaker 5: full speed ones versus ones, every day in practice. But
- 1:27:29Speaker 5: then he did it in a way that was so
- 1:27:32Speaker 5: loose and so fun, lots of pranks, lots of celebrities
- 1:27:36Speaker 5: and just the master and and so that's really you know,
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: you juxtaposed that versus a Nick Saban, and both are
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: insanely successful. They're very different, though, and Pete style, in
- 1:27:48Speaker 5: my opinion, you know, so many people tried to replicate it,
- 1:27:51Speaker 5: just not to the degree it was. It was a
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: lot of fun, he was.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: He was very.
- 1:27:56Speaker 5: Transparent about competition. I'll tell you, I'll give you a story.
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: So I'm sitting there, I'm sitting behind pull A Malu
- 1:28:03Speaker 5: for three years and then heading into my senior year.
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: The way I saw it, we had the strong safety
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: pretty much settled, and I was a safety and the
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: safeties were interchangeable, so the other safety was open, and
- 1:28:12Speaker 5: you know, looking at the depth chart, like humbly speaking,
- 1:28:14Speaker 5: I felt good about my opportunity to potentially earn that spot.
- 1:28:18Speaker 5: And then but they signed a five star freshman, a
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: long Beach poly Darnell Being who'd go on to have
- 1:28:24Speaker 5: a great career and became a good buddy of mine.
- 1:28:26Speaker 5: But you know, I didn't know Darnell personally. When they
- 1:28:28Speaker 5: signed him, I'm like, oh crap, Like, here we go.
- 1:28:30Speaker 5: So it's before spring, before the first practice you meet
- 1:28:33Speaker 5: as a team. You're in the big team meeting room
- 1:28:35Speaker 5: and Pete goes, hey, guys, okay, this spring we got
- 1:28:38Speaker 5: to get after it. Were just coming off you know,
- 1:28:40Speaker 5: a big BCS win like and he goes, but I
- 1:28:43Speaker 5: want you to understand the opportunity you, guys, as existing
- 1:28:46Speaker 5: players have, is the spring is your showcase because in
- 1:28:48Speaker 5: the fall, we're bringing the number one class in. They
- 1:28:51Speaker 5: had just signed it because signing days like February. Now
- 1:28:53Speaker 5: it's March springball. He goes, we're bringing the number one
- 1:28:56Speaker 5: class in and we are going to give them the
- 1:28:59Speaker 5: reps and give them the opportunity to beat you out.
- 1:29:01Speaker 5: And so you need to take this time seriously because
- 1:29:04Speaker 5: you're not gonna have as big of an opportunity in
- 1:29:06Speaker 5: the fall. And just to drive home the point, you're
- 1:29:08Speaker 5: gonna sit here and for the next hour, we're gonna
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: put their highlights on film and you have to sit
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: here and watch all of your all of the five
- 1:29:15Speaker 5: star recruits are bringing in you guys, I am bringing
- 1:29:17Speaker 5: them in to take your job, and you're gonna sit
- 1:29:19Speaker 5: here and you're gonna watch their highchool highlights. So we
- 1:29:21Speaker 5: had to sit there for an.
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: Hour tight in that meeting room.
- 1:29:24Speaker 4: Oh my yeah god.
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: So we had to sit there and you know, it's like, okay,
- 1:29:28Speaker 5: running backs. It was coming in Reggie Lendale. We had
- 1:29:32Speaker 5: a guy Chauncey Washington. It was really good running bay
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: you know, tight ends o lineman. And then it gets
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: the safety like it said, five star, number one in
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: the country, rivals number one in the country, this darnel
- 1:29:40Speaker 5: being long Beach Polly and I just sit there for like,
- 1:29:42Speaker 5: you know, five to six minutes and watch you guys highlights,
- 1:29:45Speaker 5: and I'm just sitting there like fuck this motherfucker, like
- 1:29:48Speaker 5: you yeah, fuck like because that like when you're in
- 1:29:50Speaker 5: that like alpha dog, hyper masculine society that is college
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: football or any football, Like it's it's kind of like
- 1:29:59Speaker 5: a fighter's mentality. I'm gonna kill this guy, and like
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: that's that's what he was doing. It was all Pete
- 1:30:03Speaker 5: was so good at the psychological part. And so you
- 1:30:07Speaker 5: know the answer to your question really is like I can't.
- 1:30:09Speaker 5: I don't have any As far as I know, there
- 1:30:12Speaker 5: weren't like alumni handing out money or anything, at least
- 1:30:14Speaker 5: not to me, not to you like but but but
- 1:30:18Speaker 5: it was the way Pete ran the program. It was
- 1:30:20Speaker 5: so intense, it was so high speed, full speed one verse.
- 1:30:24Speaker 5: Once he would he would like proactively tell you you
- 1:30:27Speaker 5: are competing with him, And yet he did it in
- 1:30:29Speaker 5: a way that there wasn't there wasn't open ANIMOSITI. I
- 1:30:32Speaker 5: never looked at Darnell or Troy like I hate you know,
- 1:30:34Speaker 5: those are my those are my guys. Those were my boys,
- 1:30:36Speaker 5: you know, and I and I do the best I
- 1:30:38Speaker 5: can to take that and apply it to the company
- 1:30:41Speaker 5: I get to run.
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: You could talk about you know, celebrities and what not
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: coming out like I think, you know, Kyle graduated right
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: when they were peaking, and you know, the celebrity was
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: coming in, so like Snoop Dogg would come in and
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: drop it like it's how we had a guy freestyle
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: with him in the front, Will Ferrell come in as
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: Ricky Bobby. You know, we had all these guys coming
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: in on the sideline and and whatnot. It kept a
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: loose environment, but you know, kind of like Kyle alluded
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: to it also that what he demanded from us as well.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: He made it very clear and some of my fondest
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: memories are are just the stretching lines. You know, We'd
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: have Ken Norton and Lane Kiffin and they'd be arguing
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: at each other and and Sarkisian was there, mss why
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: Ed Ozeron was there? But that you know, uh Ken Norton, Ken,
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: because it wasn't just the players. Ken Norton would be saying, Laine,
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: only reason why you got a job is because your daddy.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: And then Lane would be yelling back, your daddy got
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: knocked out by Ali and he said, my daddy, my
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: daddy broke all these and it was like but and
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: then we went straight into nine on seven, straight in
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: the nine on seven. But like, like I said, there
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: was no animosity. You know, It's like you could tell
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: there was that friction, but it was there was It
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: was always competition. That's every meet and every it was
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: all about competition.
- 1:32:00Speaker 5: And Pete while he was a player's coaching that he
- 1:32:03Speaker 5: is fun like, he was a killer man. He was
- 1:32:05Speaker 5: a businessman and like and if you got in the
- 1:32:07Speaker 5: way of his program, guys would disappear man like, they
- 1:32:10Speaker 5: would get out. I remember because back then there was
- 1:32:12Speaker 5: no transfer portals, nothing, and again, this is my opinion.
- 1:32:15Speaker 5: I can't prove this is like when Pete came in
- 1:32:18Speaker 5: because I actually my freshman year I was with Paul
- 1:32:20Speaker 5: Hackett and then Pete came in and all of a sudden,
- 1:32:23Speaker 5: like guys started disappearing off the roster. He would go
- 1:32:25Speaker 5: to him and say, hey, listen, and this is what
- 1:32:27Speaker 5: I heard. So I'm just is like, hey, you're never
- 1:32:29Speaker 5: going to play here, and so you could do one
- 1:32:32Speaker 5: or two things. You can transfer out, we'll sign your
- 1:32:34Speaker 5: papers like see you later year off. Right, Well, if
- 1:32:38Speaker 5: you transferred, you had to take give or what he
- 1:32:41Speaker 5: did was he went to guys like, hey, you had
- 1:32:42Speaker 5: of shoulder injury, out of knee injury, like you're recovering,
- 1:32:44Speaker 5: will medical you, but will like walk you into the
- 1:32:47Speaker 5: grad school program. Like cause like he came in, He's like,
- 1:32:50Speaker 5: how do I turn this roster around? And I can't
- 1:32:52Speaker 5: wait to do it. Fifteen to twenty scholarships at a
- 1:32:54Speaker 5: time and my first year thirty five forty guys like
- 1:32:58Speaker 5: got cycled through the program at a time that it
- 1:32:59Speaker 5: wasn't as liquid as it is today, like where guys
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: can just come in and out. I mean nowadays, coach
- 1:33:04Speaker 5: are going like, hey, you should transfer because we're not
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: going to play you and go somewhere else. So he's
- 1:33:09Speaker 5: he's a killer and you respect that. But he did
- 1:33:12Speaker 5: it in a way that just, you know, really some
- 1:33:14Speaker 5: of the fondest memories of my life. Like what I
- 1:33:17Speaker 5: don't know, I'd be interested to ask you guys at question,
- 1:33:19Speaker 5: like what do you miss more like playing football or
- 1:33:21Speaker 5: the locker room?
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:33:22Speaker 5: Was I missed the locker room? That's what I really miss.
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: The locker room is commercials.
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I see Peyton Manning's autograph. There was before J. J. Watt.
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: It was me on the defensive side.
- 1:33:37Speaker 4: Yeah, the uh you brought? You bring up Pete Carroll
- 1:33:40Speaker 4: how like Stern he was in hardcore he was, but
- 1:33:42Speaker 4: how he made it fun like he seemed like a
- 1:33:44Speaker 4: guy that he like made the like the basketball hoop
- 1:33:46Speaker 4: in the team meeting room made that famous. Like what
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: were some of the things he did to keep it
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: Like because my short time I got to me, I
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: went to a junior camp at USC and it was
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: like I saw him in the first time I met him.
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: He gives me a hug and I'm like, this guy's
- 1:33:58Speaker 4: the fuck. He just had that energy.
- 1:34:00Speaker 5: He's just built different. He has energy that I don't have,
- 1:34:02Speaker 5: and like he just I think he was born that way.
- 1:34:05Speaker 5: That is not an act, Like he is a high
- 1:34:06Speaker 5: energy positivity guy. I'll I'll give you some examples, and
- 1:34:11Speaker 5: maybe it changed by the time Clay got there. Like
- 1:34:13Speaker 5: you know, it's the middle of camp and you're you know,
- 1:34:16Speaker 5: you're what are the twenty eight days in camp and
- 1:34:18Speaker 5: it's day eighteen, Like you're just in the shit, right
- 1:34:20Speaker 5: and your your body's banged up and you're going hard,
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: and Pete's like, hey, like, you know, for practice in
- 1:34:27Speaker 5: the morning, practice in the afternoon. So at the end
- 1:34:28Speaker 5: of the first practice he I don't know if he
- 1:34:32Speaker 5: manufacturing really felt like this, but it was supposed to
- 1:34:35Speaker 5: be full pads in the morning, like shells in the afternoon,
- 1:34:37Speaker 5: so full pads, and you know, at the end of practice,
- 1:34:40Speaker 5: he's like that was a bullshit pro don't like the energy.
- 1:34:42Speaker 5: This is bs like just ripping us, you know which, again,
- 1:34:46Speaker 5: that wasn't normally his go to sow. He did it
- 1:34:48Speaker 5: more than probably the normal fans would think, but like
- 1:34:51Speaker 5: it was like and maybe we were dragon asks, so
- 1:34:53Speaker 5: we get He's like, you know what, because we're going
- 1:34:55Speaker 5: full pads this afternoon, hitting drills, tackling, live everything. We're like,
- 1:34:59Speaker 5: oh no, and so he brings us out. In the
- 1:35:03Speaker 5: second practice, we start doing the stretch lines and he
- 1:35:06Speaker 5: like calls us up and he goes, guys like I
- 1:35:08Speaker 5: need to be able to trust you, and I'm paraphrasing
- 1:35:10Speaker 5: I need to be able to trust you, Like I
- 1:35:12Speaker 5: was not happy with this. So I'm gonna give you
- 1:35:13Speaker 5: an option. Either we go hard and like do this
- 1:35:16Speaker 5: the right way, or we get on some fucking busses
- 1:35:19Speaker 5: and go to the beach. And there are busses lined
- 1:35:21Speaker 5: out right outside practice, and we all get on the
- 1:35:24Speaker 5: bus in our full pads and go to Manhattan Beach
- 1:35:26Speaker 5: and go to the beach.
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: That day like yeah, movies, We go watch the beach
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: volleyball man and just stuff in the meeting room too.
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: I can't remember why, but we always were shooting water
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: up in there, guys taking their shirts off, swinging them around.
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: I don't know why, but like we just that was
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: it every meeting. Hey, they always call people up to
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: make fun of other people, like what you do with raves,
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: Like I always they called me up. All that's because
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: I was just the walk on it the time, like
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: nobody and then you know, like they would call people
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: up to make fun of others. They do one on
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: ones watching people get cooked or whatnot up, so like
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: they always promoted that environment.
- 1:35:57Speaker 5: I'll get you on that team meeting, so like we
- 1:36:01Speaker 5: might have to cut this just because I like this guy,
- 1:36:03Speaker 5: but we would come in, we would destroy him.
- 1:36:07Speaker 4: No, no, no, we're having fun.
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: We would come in and like to Clay's point, like
- 1:36:13Speaker 5: there is this It started my sophomore junior or like
- 1:36:18Speaker 5: the meeting room coach O was getting mad about something
- 1:36:22Speaker 5: and he smashes a projector with his fist and like
- 1:36:25Speaker 5: these are projectors, Like I'm getting old here and he
- 1:36:27Speaker 5: smashes it and throws it, and then like we're getting hyped.
- 1:36:30Speaker 5: So Kennedy Pola, this big salmon running back coach, he
- 1:36:35Speaker 5: played running back, just awesome guy. Like he takes a
- 1:36:38Speaker 5: chair and throws it through this window because they're like
- 1:36:41Speaker 5: Florida ceiling windows like twelve feet tall and throws it
- 1:36:44Speaker 5: through the window and we're sitting like what has happened?
- 1:36:47Speaker 5: So then that became kind of like whenever they felt
- 1:36:49Speaker 5: like we would just start getting hyped and throwing water
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: and so Kennedy pulled the start of the thing, like
- 1:36:53Speaker 5: what's the first thing you do before you get in
- 1:36:55Speaker 5: a fight? You know, it's like take your shirts up.
- 1:36:57Speaker 5: So everyone takes their shirts off. We start like pushing
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: each other and like.
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: And then he's like, then there's this chance, like wartime,
- 1:37:06Speaker 5: it's time to go to war, like we're gonna take
- 1:37:08Speaker 5: it outside, Like what do you do? You take your
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: shirt off? Like let's go outside. We're about to get
- 1:37:10Speaker 5: in a fight. That was our chant like back when
- 1:37:12Speaker 5: we were winning. I don't think it is anymore. You know,
- 1:37:16Speaker 5: Lincoln might need to bring it back, but my point
- 1:37:18Speaker 5: is so then, so he started getting more hyped, and
- 1:37:21Speaker 5: every every meeting got more and more hyped. It wasn't
- 1:37:24Speaker 5: you know to eventually like you took your shirt off,
- 1:37:28Speaker 5: like everybody's taking their shirts off. And then we had
- 1:37:30Speaker 5: a linebacker coach Coach Holt Nick Hole, he was your coach.
- 1:37:34Speaker 5: He ended up going to coach Idaho for a minute.
- 1:37:37Speaker 5: He got so hyped up. One time he took his
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: shirt off in front of the whole team. Then he
- 1:37:41Speaker 5: took his pants off, all of it, underwear, no shit,
- 1:37:48Speaker 5: and he's jumping around butt ass naked.
- 1:37:52Speaker 4: Everyone's like, yeah, let's fuck whoa.
- 1:37:56Speaker 5: And like he's like, what too too much? It's like
- 1:37:58Speaker 5: dog but they like and it was like what just happened?
- 1:38:02Speaker 4: He was grown man, he just.
- 1:38:03Speaker 5: He just he got into that like mannic alpha where
- 1:38:07Speaker 5: he went.
- 1:38:09Speaker 4: Barely legal kids. Yeah, and I was like, all right,
- 1:38:12Speaker 4: Like after that.
- 1:38:13Speaker 5: We we we agreed there was there was a limit
- 1:38:15Speaker 5: to the high we gotta draw.
- 1:38:17Speaker 4: Was the next meeting Peter Klby like, hey, we can
- 1:38:19Speaker 4: get excited, but let's keep our world.
- 1:38:21Speaker 5: Probably like Pete had a great way to roll with it.
- 1:38:24Speaker 5: But that's when I was like, all right, this place
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: is crazy, dude.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: What happened?

- 1:41:07Speaker 5: Facts you Ma Lugava.
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: Yeah, we went Keith that senior class. Yeah, and then

- 1:41:17Speaker 1: year older, so he went ninth though, but I was
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: even there. Lofa was second round. But yeah, my senior
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: year was me and Cush went first round and Ray right,
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: he should have gone, well, you're supposed to go first.
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: And then Mayava went fourth to the Browns. We had
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: a good I think we finished first, first, second, second
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: and all the postseason lads and whatnot.
- 1:41:37Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, had phenomenal. Chris had a great career, even
- 1:41:41Speaker 5: Koluka like he started he was playing six seven years. Yeah,
- 1:41:44Speaker 5: I think baby old or something. Yeah, that's what it was.
- 1:41:46Speaker 5: But that was a great team.
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: How was I was cush in college because he seems
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: like he was my favor He's my favorite Jersey boy.
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: He was my favorite.
- 1:41:53Speaker 4: You just have that thing. And when they're playing the
- 1:41:55Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns and he runs face first and the officsive
- 1:41:57Speaker 4: lineman face blood full or Facebook.
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: We would be in like coaching Norton with Ken Norton,
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: be you know, in meetings and it'd be like lunchtime
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: and I'd need like a turkey burger with fries, trying
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: to be healthy, and this guy like you know or something,
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: and then you see his little watch go off, click it,
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: reach underneath out, pull out his like customized meal and
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: pills and whatnot. He was just he was dialed in.
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: But I love that guy. He's still one of my
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: best friends, says Dad. I wish we could have played again,
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: still keeping touch, but yeah, he was a monster, and
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: I think he helped elevate that room because of his
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: Jersey tough mentality. He was about he was about that,
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: like he was.
- 1:42:36Speaker 4: About that actually yea, yeah.
- 1:42:37Speaker 5: Yeah yeah he and Clay knows him super well. But
- 1:42:39Speaker 5: like I was thinking, the last time I hung out
- 1:42:41Speaker 5: with Cush, we were in Miami and we're down there
- 1:42:44Speaker 5: for the Pro Bowl. Clay's in the Pro Bowl and
- 1:42:46Speaker 5: so we're me, Clay, my brother Casey, and Cush. We're
- 1:42:49Speaker 5: out and we're having a good time. But it's like,
- 1:42:51Speaker 5: you know, like it's like midnight one am. Like I'm
- 1:42:53Speaker 5: getting tired, man, We're like grown ups. And Coach like,
- 1:42:55Speaker 5: come on, Like we're in Fort Lauderdale, which is about
- 1:42:58Speaker 5: an hour north of Miami. Coach like, let's go to Miami.
- 1:43:00Speaker 5: There's a there's a party at a club Miami. My
- 1:43:02Speaker 5: teammates from the Texans. Andre Johnson is from Miami. He's
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: throwing a party over this.
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: It was we were the only white police.
- 1:43:12Speaker 4: Were outside.
- 1:43:13Speaker 5: We're outside this club. We're with Uh it was Ray Lewis,
- 1:43:16Speaker 5: it was a Dan Hendo Henderson. We're sitting outside and
- 1:43:19Speaker 5: I'm like, no, dude, let's go do I'm tire, Like
- 1:43:21Speaker 5: go home, like no, come on, like what do I
- 1:43:23Speaker 5: gotta do? And I swear to god you look down
- 1:43:25Speaker 5: and I don't know that in the curve there was
- 1:43:27Speaker 5: a one dollar bill in like a dirty curt like
- 1:43:29Speaker 5: in like gutter water. And I was like, you eat
- 1:43:32Speaker 5: that one dollar bill and Cush is like what. I
- 1:43:34Speaker 5: was like, eat that one dollar bill. We'll go to Miami.
- 1:43:36Speaker 5: So Cush rolls up, he eats a gut like a
- 1:43:39Speaker 5: gut or water one dollar bill and he goes. I
- 1:43:42Speaker 5: was like, Miami.
- 1:43:45Speaker 4: So we go down to Miami. Hold up, that's better.
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: We go down.
- 1:43:47Speaker 5: We don't really understand the context of this party. So
- 1:43:50Speaker 5: we roll in. It's a nightclub Andre Johnson, and the
- 1:43:53Speaker 5: entire you is throwing it in like you know, like
- 1:43:57Speaker 5: Coral Gables or Brickle or somewhere down there. And we
- 1:44:00Speaker 5: walk into Clay's point it look this is not you know,
- 1:44:04Speaker 5: it's like, well the only white dudes there and like,
- 1:44:06Speaker 5: which is finely Like We're like, oh, this is fun,
- 1:44:08Speaker 5: and Cushing we go up. They have a table for us.
- 1:44:12Speaker 5: We're you know, we're wapping up some people.
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: We know.
- 1:44:14Speaker 5: Cush disappears years over there.
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: Mario Williams dapping them up in the middle of the
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: two in.
- 1:44:20Speaker 5: The dance floor, so listen, we have so they're just
- 1:44:22Speaker 5: down there, so hold on, hold on, it gets it
- 1:44:24Speaker 5: gets better.
- 1:44:25Speaker 4: Left. Yeah, this is a Cush story. So like again,
- 1:44:28Speaker 4: like Clay, you.
- 1:44:28Speaker 5: Made the decision. If we edit this out. I think
- 1:44:30Speaker 5: this makes it. I think this makes it look makes
- 1:44:32Speaker 5: them look even better. But he disappears and they're bringing
- 1:44:36Speaker 5: bottles and bottles and bottles. We're not drinking, like it's
- 1:44:38Speaker 5: again now it's two three am, and like the Matthews
- 1:44:41Speaker 5: were like, let's go home. Well anyway, all of a sudden,
- 1:44:44Speaker 5: we're like, hey, we're gonna havead ou He's like, well,
- 1:44:45Speaker 5: who's paying for this bill? And it's like this is
- 1:44:47Speaker 5: ten thousand dollars? Like what anyone else? It's Cushing. So
- 1:44:50Speaker 5: Cushing had left his credit card on the table.
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 1:44:54Speaker 5: Cush had like a twenty five hundred dollars limit on
- 1:44:56Speaker 5: his credit card. Boys, I got this any worry, Like
- 1:45:02Speaker 5: he's disappeared, he has his credit card, can't pay for anything,
- 1:45:05Speaker 5: and we're like we're not paying for it, and like
- 1:45:07Speaker 5: they're like, someone's paying for it. And so finally we
- 1:45:10Speaker 5: got the guy to Andre Johnson comes over, it's his party.
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: I think it was like his somebody I got it.
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: I got it.
- 1:45:16Speaker 5: And then we always said hey to Andre Johns, you
- 1:45:18Speaker 5: got to go track Cush down to get the money.
- 1:45:20Speaker 5: And he got the money.
- 1:45:21Speaker 4: But like that was cause was Cush.
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: Oh he just disappeared. He just disappeared. He was down
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: there amongst the crowd, just where he was. Cush told
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: me the story. He said like, yeah, yeah, I got you.

- 1:45:49Speaker 5: Like he's a savage.
- 1:45:50Speaker 4: You know, he had to be crazy.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: I mean it was my entire motivation inspiration, like in
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: my high school days, like my dad and my dad
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: was pretty psychotic with me as a kid. But you
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: were the walk on story Cush. I had to do

- 1:47:14Speaker 4: watching a b of pin pool things with tackles going out,
- 1:47:17Speaker 4: and there's a clip from the Ravens where Ray did
- 1:47:19Speaker 4: not give a fuck about making the tackle. He was
- 1:47:21Speaker 4: just murdering and left right then. And I sat in
- 1:47:24Speaker 4: that me room, I was like, I pray to God,
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: nobody gets he was playing.
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: As a as a freshman at at USC. They put
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: him on kickoff like L five R five. He run
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: down there, biggest head ever too, and neck and he
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: would just just lead with his head and just knock
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: pel out and he would just get up. I mean
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: he was like you would think he was just straight
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: from the island, like you brought him over like like
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: Maui you know Demi.
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: God, Yeah, he was like before this, like when we
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: were talking about my Luga. His body like everybody has
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: like a reaction when they're making a big hit, like Ray,
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: his body just always stayed so compact. Yeah, his body
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: never moved when he made a big There's no like people.
- 1:48:03Speaker 4: Yeah, he was just a.
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: Really stout Yeah, he would Yeah, he would have been perfect.
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: He probably could have lied. I mean still played for
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: several years, but he probably you know that rate, you know,
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: late nineties early two thousand generation of inside linebackers who
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: just needed to run downhill? Yeah that man, that that
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: h u s. The U c l A highlight that
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: just popped up right there right now is yeah, we
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: ended up I think losing this game. We would have
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: gone to the National Championship.
- 1:48:28Speaker 5: But that quarterbacks in real estate, he reached out all
- 1:48:31Speaker 5: the time. I think his murdering. So his name is
- 1:48:36Speaker 5: Patrick Cowan. I think he's done well in real estate,
- 1:48:37Speaker 5: so well reach out and it's like, man, how's your head?
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: Sage Killer? Is that that running back? Three bar face
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: mass too?
- 1:48:47Speaker 4: That Robal? Is that true hate Week?
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: Honestly, they haven't been that unlike Michigan Ohio State. You guys,
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you like have had so much sustained
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: success that U c l A has kind of. At
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: least when I was there, they had fallen off completely.
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: They weren't even a top twenty five I think my
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: first year two thousand and four, they were like a
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: like a teen's team, maybe top ten but I think
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: we beat on like seventy to something that was like
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: Reggie Bushes I had secured his heisman, but it was
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: it was fun, but it always felt like the second
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: tier of of like a bath went to U c.
- 1:49:20Speaker 9: L A.
- 1:49:20Speaker 1: Now that's obviously changed because they're both kind of right
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: at least at this point that mediocrity, but at the time,
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: like it was more Notre Dame, and to be honest,
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: was so good. At the time, it was whatever the
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: best team wants national team.
- 1:49:32Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the best team was like we can't
- 1:49:34Speaker 4: wait Sahoma.
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: Yeah, brutal before instant replayed Vince Young.
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: You you you were in I was. I was in
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: the Vince Young one.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: You were in the Vince Young one? Oh yeah, because
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: that was that was like it.
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: Was five seasons. Yeah, it's just it's tough. Yeah, but
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: I wouldn't like, yeah, it wasn't that difficult for maybe
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: because I was just on like two special teams. Just
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: to I may be completely candid, it sucked. But the
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: next year we played Michigan. Michigan was I just go aheading.
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: The story Michigan was was rolled like they had a
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: man blanket on the left long heart Manningham Henny, Yeah,
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: and uh beat them up pretty good. And then the
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: next year we're up pretty good. Illinois, we got after them.
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: And then last year was Joe Paterno's Penn Stay we
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: played in.
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: For Illinois was at the Rose. You guys crushed a
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: big game on that one too.
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:50:25Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a period. Yeah, there's a period there
- 1:50:27Speaker 5: against the Big ten and the sec where and in
- 1:50:31Speaker 5: fact checked me, I don't think we lost for like
- 1:50:32Speaker 5: six seven years, you know, outside of Texas and the
- 1:50:35Speaker 5: Big twelve. Like I know, my senior year we went.
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: Down to Auburn and rolled in the Habraska.
- 1:50:40Speaker 5: To Auburn had Cadillac Williams.
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: N uh.
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: My official visit to Nebraska is when you guys, you
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: guys came to Nebraska, it's like forty eight to I
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: remember seeing.
- 1:50:51Speaker 1: It was that two eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: started that game. I broke my thumb and had to
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: come out. Dude.
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: It was down there, Nebraska. Yeah, they killed us. Obviously
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: we had thirty one, but forty twenty one of them
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: were in the fourth quarter, so that the guys, like
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: I remember seeing Taylor Mays pre game, Taylor Mays just
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: staying in.
- 1:51:10Speaker 5: Taylor game, just a SC won half their games before
- 1:51:14Speaker 5: the games just because of Taylor.
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: Is like what Ron ron Zuck was the head coach
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: of Illinois at the time. He was our special teams
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: coach for a few years in Green Bays. And we
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: when we when we took the field and you guys
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: are out there, it was over.
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: It was over.
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: It was over. Like we we were just in awe,
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: you know, and that was it.
- 1:51:31Speaker 4: God, the unis like dude, I can't imagine walking off
- 1:51:35Speaker 4: the bus and just feeling like that, like we just
- 1:51:37Speaker 4: look better, we are better. We're going to destroy everything.
- 1:51:40Speaker 7: But that was that was that.
- 1:51:41Speaker 5: That was that swag at s C for a period
- 1:51:43Speaker 5: of seven eight years and like respectfully, like it's been
- 1:51:47Speaker 5: such a long time, Like I'm just like I'm tired
- 1:51:48Speaker 5: of talking, like, hey, when we did this.
- 1:51:50Speaker 4: Because because well, what's what's missing now at SC? Do
- 1:51:53Speaker 4: you think, Carol?
- 1:51:55Speaker 5: I think no, all right, I'm going to answer this question.
- 1:51:58Speaker 5: So in my opinion, and I'm not the most educated.
- 1:52:02Speaker 5: I you know, I'm connected to the program. I try
- 1:52:04Speaker 5: and help them in terms of given athletes advice post
- 1:52:06Speaker 5: playing days and you know, how to make sure you
- 1:52:10Speaker 5: set yourself up, not just financially and hire good financial advisor,
- 1:52:14Speaker 5: but actually, you know, be articulate and ideally fluent in
- 1:52:19Speaker 5: the financial language. You know, it's not just about hiring
- 1:52:21Speaker 5: good people to manag your money, it's being able to
- 1:52:23Speaker 5: manage those managers. I think the game of college football,
- 1:52:28Speaker 5: the dynamic, especially with NIL, has changed so fast, and
- 1:52:32Speaker 5: there's some programs like Oregon or Ohio State. Again I'm
- 1:52:36Speaker 5: not I think Michigan. Is Michigan a great NIL like
- 1:52:40Speaker 5: because because I understand Michigan, like they really did a
- 1:52:43Speaker 5: great job with Harbaugh developing three four five year guys.
- 1:52:47Speaker 5: Now they're NIL.
- 1:52:48Speaker 4: I think it's like like this year and last year,
- 1:52:50Speaker 4: like the first like two years were really feeling like real,
- 1:52:53Speaker 4: real money going into Okay.
- 1:52:55Speaker 5: But you guys didn't win the Natty. Last year. I
- 1:52:57Speaker 5: felt like it was mostly homegrown players. But the game
- 1:53:00Speaker 5: has shifted so much, and I think there are programs
- 1:53:03Speaker 5: that have really like stayed ahead of that, and I
- 1:53:06Speaker 5: don't think SE is that And I blame if I'm
- 1:53:08Speaker 5: gonna blame it, I blame the culture of the school
- 1:53:11Speaker 5: because there's still PTSD from the sanctions, and I think
- 1:53:14Speaker 5: they're very like it's scared of your own shadow. They
- 1:53:17Speaker 5: don't want to do anything without the NCAA saying you
- 1:53:20Speaker 5: can do this, which is like formal opinion letter submit
- 1:53:23Speaker 5: can we do this? While other schools it's not that
- 1:53:26Speaker 5: they're breaking the rules and maybe not even playing by
- 1:53:28Speaker 5: the rules. There are no rules right now, and so
- 1:53:30Speaker 5: there's other schools like we're just gonna do this and
- 1:53:33Speaker 5: like it's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.
- 1:53:36Speaker 5: Sc UP until recently has been like no, we need
- 1:53:38Speaker 5: to make sure we ask for permission, so we're always
- 1:53:40Speaker 5: a year or two behind. My hope is that the
- 1:53:42Speaker 5: administration is being more aggressive with NIL and all that.
- 1:53:47Speaker 5: I don't I can't say state put that as a
- 1:53:49Speaker 5: statement of fact. That's just like from what I can tell,
- 1:53:52Speaker 5: like quasi connected to the program?
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
- 1:53:54Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Ye, it makes a lot of sense.
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: We have my opinion now. I just I think, like
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: I mean strictly from a football standpoint, like x'es and o's.
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: I think it's like a mentality thing. I mean, obviously
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: there's some there was weaknesses in the O line and
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: D line last year. When you've seen you know, Miller
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: Moss getting sacked so much. I don't think he was
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: the problem. They ended up benching him like three quarters
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: of the way through the season. But I think they
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: need some more athletes. But you know, these guys are great.
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: You know that they've been bringing in and you know
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and offensively what Caleb Williams was able to
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: do the last I guess the previous two years.
- 1:54:31Speaker 5: They got a really good decordinator.
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: Now, yeah, it's truly remarkable your top three, but you
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: know that year where they lost to it was a
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: Utah when they should have gone to the playoffs at
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: that time. I don't know if it's just like a
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: because Pete had that that culture, you know, that that
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: hard ass culture, And I don't know if it's just
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: all x's and o's and putting up fifty every game
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, do you want a defensive
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: minded head coach or do you want offensive mind a
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: head coach?
- 1:54:54Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: And I think you guys are closer because even though
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: you guys lost what five games this year, they weren't
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: you guys were like one score games most of the time. Yeah,
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: we did.
- 1:55:02Speaker 5: I think they're close. Like again, Dan tunneln is the
- 1:55:04Speaker 5: decoordinator came from the Ravens. Like if you just look
- 1:55:07Speaker 5: at the statistical improvement, and respectfully, like me, Clay, my dad,
- 1:55:11Speaker 5: we're on a text chain like sometimes when ST's playing, like.
- 1:55:13Speaker 4: We'll be like this defense.
- 1:55:14Speaker 5: But this was the first year where like the text
- 1:55:16Speaker 5: messages weren't about the defense, right, So I think the
- 1:55:19Speaker 5: defense is getting better. To Clay's point, they really need bodies,
- 1:55:22Speaker 5: They need the big guys. They always have athletes. Look
- 1:55:25Speaker 5: at the receivers in the NFL.
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: Like you know, that's why whenever they play like an
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: SEC team or Big ten, they always get bullied to
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: look at in the trenches, you know, but they'll put
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: up like I said, thirty five, forty two point whatever
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: it is. But it's just that you know, they'll they'll
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: those those teams will run it down.
- 1:55:39Speaker 5: And if you look at the old SC teams, like
- 1:55:42Speaker 5: back when Clay and I played, that were that were
- 1:55:43Speaker 5: winning every game. The Reggie's, the lineups, all those guys
- 1:55:47Speaker 5: got the hype. But actually if you look at the
- 1:55:48Speaker 5: guys they put in the league, it was O lineman,
- 1:55:50Speaker 5: D linman linebackers, right, And so I think I'm very
- 1:55:54Speaker 5: optimistic about Lincoln. I think he gets he knows what
- 1:55:57Speaker 5: he has to do. There is a reality in college ball,
- 1:56:00Speaker 5: like you can know what you have to do. You
- 1:56:01Speaker 5: could say, hey, I'm going to go out and do it.
- 1:56:02Speaker 5: But nowadays it's it's money, right, And if you don't
- 1:56:05Speaker 5: have an nil war chest, like you're just not going
- 1:56:07Speaker 5: to be competitive. Like kids don't. Most kids don't sign
- 1:56:10Speaker 5: up for the uniform anymore.
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:56:12Speaker 5: It's like, even if they grew up an SC fan,
- 1:56:14Speaker 5: if they have a big freshman year, they're going to
- 1:56:17Speaker 5: get a phone call from Ohio State saying hey, or
- 1:56:20Speaker 5: Georgia saying like, hey, why don't you come here and
- 1:56:22Speaker 5: I'll pay you a million bucks a year. They're not like, sorry,
- 1:56:24Speaker 5: I'm an SC guy. They're like, they go to SC,
- 1:56:26Speaker 5: how much you're gonna pay? I think I think nil?
- 1:56:28Speaker 5: Well nil. Wise they've figured it out. But like, I
- 1:56:31Speaker 5: don't know, Yeah, college football is better when when SC
- 1:56:34Speaker 5: the Notre Dames, the Michigan's Nebraska.
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: Nebraska is in the top twenty two.
- 1:56:39Speaker 5: Nebraska speaking in that top twenty five NCAA football is
- 1:56:44Speaker 5: better when Nebraska's you know, nine to four, not six
- 1:56:46Speaker 5: and six.
- 1:56:48Speaker 4: Well, every year they've gotten one one game better.
- 1:56:50Speaker 2: You guys only beat it because of a passer in
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: appearance call at the end.
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: I don't think I watched that. That was a twelve
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: o'clock game.
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: You're only probably feel for the propriety. I'm screaming at
- 1:57:02Speaker 2: the TV over BI calls. You guys keep up with.
- 1:57:05Speaker 4: College or NFL more like, as far as just enjoying it.
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: For me, NFL, yeah, yeah, you're not a big sc guy.
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm a huge SEE guy. But I'm
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: just saying, like it's it's hard to you know, with
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: the success I guess the lack of success or what
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: we're accustomed to see in But no, I sit down.
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: My wife knows like Sundays are are my day. Like
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: I worked to about twelve o'clock and around the house
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: cleaning up, you know, making banana red, and then I'm
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: then I sit down clock. Yes, sure, and but no,
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: I really enjoy the NFL as far as watching it,
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: and because I felt like I don't know how it
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: is for you at Lineman you as well, Like I
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: felt like my mind at the end of my career
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: was just so tuned in and natural. They always tell
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: you this, like I was just and I was like,
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: when I went to the Rams, Chris Shulo, who's now
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, he was my linebackers coach, but we
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: might as well have been the same as far as uh,
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: you know, on the same page and being peers and whatnot.
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: And so I just felt like the way I was
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: able to give back teach these guys who were playing
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: behind me at the time, like my mind was just
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: so far advanced. And of course that's the time I'm
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: pulling the plug on you. Now, all I gotta do
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: is sit at the TV and be like, I guys
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: got to do this. But I enjoy the NFL still.
- 1:58:12Speaker 4: Dude, I hear what you're saying. With watching the games,
- 1:58:15Speaker 4: that's kind of turns me away from the NFL a
- 1:58:16Speaker 4: little bit more because I'll watch the games and I'll
- 1:58:18Speaker 4: get so caught in the offensive line of what they're
- 1:58:20Speaker 4: doing that I'm not really enjoying it as opposed to
- 1:58:22Speaker 4: I'll watch like college football, whether it be Michigan or
- 1:58:25Speaker 4: any other team. It's like the offices are so different
- 1:58:28Speaker 4: and the talent levels so different, and the mistakes are
- 1:58:32Speaker 4: so much more often, so it's kind of more fun
- 1:58:34Speaker 4: to see these massive, explosive plays, guys being out of
- 1:58:36Speaker 4: their gaps. It's like I enjoy that more. I enjoy
- 1:58:39Speaker 4: watching the mistakes.
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: I will say though, like the Who, I don't know
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: if it was like Chargers Texan. That was just to me,
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: that was a background noise game. But like when La
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: Mar comes on and sa Quon, I feel like I
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: tune into the superstar like Jamar Chase Burrow, Like there's
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: guys mahomes who I will watch the whole game start
- 1:58:57Speaker 1: to finish, But I feel like that's just a select
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: maybe you know, eight ten teams there.
- 1:59:01Speaker 4: How bad did you want the Bengals to get?
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, absolutely, the Bengals are so yeah, they're super
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: every year. They're dangerous. They obviously gave away too many
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: games early on, but the way Burrow played at the
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: end obviously, I mean he won't win MVP, but he,
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: based on his stats very well could and Jamar Chase
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: it was fun to watch.
- 1:59:18Speaker 5: I was gonna, yeah, he watches more football than I
- 1:59:20Speaker 5: just obviously close to the game. But I was gonna
- 1:59:23Speaker 5: say most of the most of the sports we get
- 1:59:24Speaker 5: together and watch the UFC, Like yeah, because again with
- 1:59:27Speaker 5: the four kids, the three kids, and then I got
- 1:59:30Speaker 5: my work life. During the week, there's not as much time.
- 1:59:32Speaker 5: So for me to take a Saturday Sunday and park
- 1:59:34Speaker 5: it and say like, hey, you know it's not my job.
- 1:59:36Speaker 5: It wasn't my career the way it is his. So
- 1:59:38Speaker 5: I get that for him. But for me, you know,
- 1:59:41Speaker 5: the deal I have is like, hey, you get the
- 1:59:43Speaker 5: kids to bed on a Saturday night at a thirty,
- 1:59:45Speaker 5: like that's when the UFC comes on. So nor I
- 1:59:48Speaker 5: normally will get together with my brother Casey.
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: And like we'll we'll talk about what we would have
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: done differently, how should have defeated You know, I told
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: Taylor when when I first saw Taylor, because I was
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: so like I just, I guess envious of like how
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: close you were to Dana and how you were there.
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: I'm like, man, because in twenty nineteen, when I stayed
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: in Green Bay with my contract up in the air,
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: there was no sports on it this time, and the
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: UFC was this only thing that came on pretty much
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: every week. So I started tuning in and all of
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: a sudden, I see a fighter. I saw a fight
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: three months ago fighting. Oh okay, I remember that guy,
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: and so I probably haven't missed a fight night, a
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: pay per view, you name it, and since twenty nineteen, do.
- 2:00:26Speaker 4: You watch this past weekend since he durn Yeah, I
- 2:00:29Speaker 4: watched it. Yeah, dude, maybe the best slate of fights
- 2:00:32Speaker 4: in a long time. There are like three knockouts.
- 2:00:34Speaker 1: Well it was. I didn't watch it all. I watched it.
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: I watched it.
- 2:00:37Speaker 5: I usually I used it six years except wow.
- 2:00:42Speaker 1: When I saw when I saw like, oh the main
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: card was, I was like, all right, But then you
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: know there was there was there were some good there
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: were some good fights on it. But I'm looking forward
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: to this weekend coming up here.
- 2:00:50Speaker 4: There was this one dude who was just getting pumbled
- 2:00:52Speaker 4: on for a minute, and you thought he was about
- 2:00:53Speaker 4: to get knocked out, and he just threw a straight
- 2:00:55Speaker 4: right in the chain. Dude was out for like a minute.
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:00:57Speaker 4: I saw that to the point where like everyone's like
- 2:00:59Speaker 4: clapping here and there was like what's going on here?
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: It was nuts.
- 2:01:05Speaker 5: We're like that meme you sent me to mean the
- 2:01:07Speaker 5: other day, like that fat guy on a couch with
- 2:01:08Speaker 5: the bob, why did he shoot the single la?
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: It makes no sense, dude.
- 2:01:13Speaker 4: Those are just fucking like Michael Chandler, He's just what
- 2:01:16Speaker 4: five six just built like a pit bull, and he
- 2:01:19Speaker 4: is terrifying. We had we had a beer Olympics and
- 2:01:22Speaker 4: me and Will are wrestling Shane and Burt and they
- 2:01:25Speaker 4: call for Mike and Mike gets a hold of my
- 2:01:27Speaker 4: heel and I'm like borderline drowning in the pool, Like
- 2:01:30Speaker 4: I'm like praying to God, like please let me up,
- 2:01:32Speaker 4: because it's about to be over for me. He's just
- 2:01:34Speaker 4: they're just different breaths of humans.
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: Mike's fun to watch ever since he came on the scene.
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: I remember because just a yeah, I remember him talking.
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: He did like a he backed up one of these fights.
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: I don't know who it was. He was ready to go,
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: and then he fought Dan Hooker and I was like, man,
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: it's good looking, he's articulated, he's champion from whatever it was,
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: and he came over here, had immediate success. But even
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: in his losses, he's fun to watch.
- 2:01:54Speaker 2: This is Mike.
- 2:01:57Speaker 4: He gets my heel here, watched my head of the
- 2:02:01Speaker 4: setting in. I was freaking out.
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: Dude.
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: Yeah, even when he loses, he seems to come out
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: on top.
- 2:02:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:02:08Speaker 1: Yeah, He's the only guy who can cut a promo after,
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: you know, losing.
- 2:02:14Speaker 4: Yeah, fight.
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that was phenomenal that fifth round.
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: I'm like, crazy, you almost got him almost.
- 2:02:20Speaker 5: I mean it as a compliment. He's like a WWE guy,
- 2:02:23Speaker 5: like in terms of a hype man, and I think
- 2:02:25Speaker 5: other wrestlers, you know, are taking because like, ultimately, what
- 2:02:29Speaker 5: are they there for. They want to win fights, and
- 2:02:31Speaker 5: obviously they have a passion for that.
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: It is to make money, right, it's marketability.
- 2:02:35Speaker 4: And yeah, he's great in the game of the story
- 2:02:37Speaker 4: that's suddenly I think UFC does better than anybody else.
- 2:02:40Speaker 4: Is like playing into the storylines of the beef between
- 2:02:42Speaker 4: the two individuals. I think that is so money. We
- 2:02:45Speaker 4: had to take on Michigan Ohouse State after Michigan planning
- 2:02:48Speaker 4: the flag, and then the postgame press, the post game
- 2:02:51Speaker 4: like show, they're talking about how there's no place for
- 2:02:52Speaker 4: that in football, and it's like, don't say that, because
- 2:02:55Speaker 4: you know next year going to the game, you're going
- 2:02:56Speaker 4: to show that to get everybody to go watch the game,
- 2:02:59Speaker 4: Like you want these storylines to like, you know, make
- 2:03:01Speaker 4: everybody kind of tune in. The's a couple of guys
- 2:03:04Speaker 4: from s C. You're like, you're not gonna be like,
- 2:03:05Speaker 4: let me go watch Michigan, Ohiose State today you'll probably
- 2:03:07Speaker 4: go turn on you.
- 2:03:09Speaker 5: Ohio State wins and plants the flag.
- 2:03:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you want to see that.
- 2:03:12Speaker 4: And I'm thinking to myself, we got to get five
- 2:03:14Speaker 4: in a row.
- 2:03:14Speaker 5: And so now like Diamond and like, I don't know,
- 2:03:17Speaker 5: maybe I'm different. Like if you don't want them to
- 2:03:19Speaker 5: plant the flag, don't lose. Yeah, Like that's how I
- 2:03:22Speaker 5: love that.
- 2:03:23Speaker 7: I love that.
- 2:03:24Speaker 4: Who do you think I won the national championship?
- 2:03:26Speaker 5: Not Ohio State, Ohio State?
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I Ohio State's rolling around.
- 2:03:29Speaker 5: I think it's tell you I don't like Notre Dame
- 2:03:32Speaker 5: being an sc guy generally speaking, but like, man, I
- 2:03:35Speaker 5: like that coach Marcus Freeman, Like he's.
- 2:03:37Speaker 2: It seems like the Bears are gonna interview him.
- 2:03:40Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, that's probably just that's probably just to create
- 2:03:43Speaker 5: but again that that's probably to create leverage to get
- 2:03:45Speaker 5: a better deal with Pete.
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: That's right.
- 2:03:49Speaker 5: Like if you if you like, if you're thinking like
- 2:03:51Speaker 5: and you're like, we like Pete. He has success, he
- 2:03:53Speaker 5: brings energy, We have a good young quarterback. You don't
- 2:03:57Speaker 5: just interview Pete and like, again, Pete's got a great agent.
- 2:04:00Speaker 5: You you bring in some hot candidates. You don't tell
- 2:04:03Speaker 5: him this, but you're just creating leverage to negotiate with peace.
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: Business and he's got it. He had to pick up
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: books early.
- 2:04:12Speaker 4: Man.
- 2:04:14Speaker 5: No, I remember I got to my my work. The
- 2:04:16Speaker 5: first day I had to YouTube. This is when YouTube
- 2:04:18Speaker 5: like how to tie a tie the night before. My
- 2:04:20Speaker 5: dad was the best dad in the world, but he
- 2:04:22Speaker 5: never had a traditional job. He was an NFL football
- 2:04:25Speaker 5: player straight to being a you know, our youth football coach,
- 2:04:28Speaker 5: and so that transition was very painful.
- 2:04:32Speaker 8: Man.
- 2:04:32Speaker 5: It took it took years for me to catch up
- 2:04:35Speaker 5: to the you know, I want to you know stereotype
- 2:04:39Speaker 5: the frat boys, Like, who's not just in college? I
- 2:04:43Speaker 5: never I didn't think that I should be preparing for
- 2:04:45Speaker 5: life after football. That was something like after my last
- 2:04:48Speaker 5: game was like a crap, Like what do I do?
- 2:04:50Speaker 5: And on top of that, you know, they just had more.
- 2:04:53Speaker 5: It took me a long time to catch up. That
- 2:04:55Speaker 5: was that was pretty painful.
- 2:04:57Speaker 2: Yeah, should we hit our tier talk.
- 2:04:58Speaker 4: Yeah, let's hit your talk here.
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: Talk this week is gonna be best brother athletic families.
- 2:05:04Speaker 5: Of all times.
- 2:05:05Speaker 2: Math talk explain them how tier talk works. So tier
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: talk is basically your top three. You'll start a tier three.
- 2:05:10Speaker 2: You give a reason. Why are you give a little?
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: You give a few words? Why tier two?
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: Tier brothers?
- 2:05:16Speaker 2: If you want to give an honorable mention, that's on
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: the table as well.
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: Brothers are family.
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: Family, We'll go family.
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: Will just pla say, I'll do brothers. You guys, brothers.
- 2:05:23Speaker 1: I want to do brothers. So you obviously got paid
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: payt and eli.
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: You gotta start at three. Now you gotta start. So
- 2:05:28Speaker 2: here's it.
- 2:05:29Speaker 4: You gotta start three, and then you go. You can
- 2:05:31Speaker 4: give an honorable mention if you want, you go honorable
- 2:05:33Speaker 4: mention three two one, and then everyone's gonna be silent.
- 2:05:36Speaker 4: After we're gonna go around the room. Everyone's gonna say
- 2:05:38Speaker 4: one word to describe how they feel about your tier talk.
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: So okay, so I'm going three two one three two? Okay?
- 2:05:44Speaker 4: So we are we each giving our own opinion, collaborat No,
- 2:05:48Speaker 4: everyone's given their own opinion.
- 2:05:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Sorry real quick time out, dude. Is
- 2:05:52Speaker 5: there a list of like or I have to think
- 2:05:54Speaker 5: about off the top of my own.
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: Manning, I would go Manning's one, we can work the
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: other way. Manning's one. I would say, the Watts two
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: and then.
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: Any sport too.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: Oh now we're doing that? No, no, no, no, I
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: I can't think of many other I mean, I know
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: the Longs had success, the Bosas are obviously Nick's playing well.
- 2:06:23Speaker 2: Phil's families. I think Mayweather's got to be in there.
- 2:06:26Speaker 2: But it's brothers or siblings, the Williams sisters.
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: Okay, wait are we going l We're doing NFL? Come
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: on you brought.
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: Yeah? Sorry, well JP back there any sport? Who'd you
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: just tell me?
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: You were asking chat? GPT gave a good one?
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: What do you give you? Kyle? All right? So a
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: couple because I agree with you. I think one and
- 2:06:53Speaker 2: two is Mannings and then Watts, so three trying to
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: figure out you're one.
- 2:06:57Speaker 5: Of the best.
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, we're doing a whole different way. Yeah, this
- 2:07:03Speaker 2: we'll just do it, all right, I got it, I
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: got it.
- 2:07:06Speaker 4: Well I don't. I don't agree with your tier two.
- 2:07:07Speaker 5: All right, here we go. You want honorable mention that
- 2:07:15Speaker 5: the Jones family, Arthur Jones, Jones, John j Yeah, okay,
- 2:07:20Speaker 5: I guess, okay, the Jones and and number they're they're
- 2:07:24Speaker 5: tier one in terms of who I don't want to fight, right,
- 2:07:27Speaker 5: all right? Also honorable mention the Gronks. The gronkowskis okay,
- 2:07:33Speaker 5: like they're they had players, But I would say tier
- 2:07:38Speaker 5: three like beyond honor mentioned higher than I would say
- 2:07:42Speaker 5: the Watt family JJ and T JM at their studs, right,
- 2:07:46Speaker 5: But there's no butt to that. It's just if you
- 2:07:49Speaker 5: want a Tier one tier two, I think you got
- 2:07:51Speaker 5: to start talking generationally, like did their dad's play their
- 2:07:54Speaker 5: their grandfathers, like you see what I'm saying. Like, and
- 2:07:57Speaker 5: so tier two is the main because you had Peyton
- 2:08:01Speaker 5: and Eli who are incredible, and Archie and then arch
- 2:08:06Speaker 5: coming up. Tier one is I mean, it's one hundred
- 2:08:08Speaker 5: percent of Matthews most games in NFL history across three generations,
- 2:08:15Speaker 5: like and and what eleven different football players who who
- 2:08:18Speaker 5: played a game in the NFL.
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: Some one's still playing for the Jakes. Jakes had one
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: hundred and I think he was drafted before you. Uh,
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: yes he was.
- 2:08:31Speaker 4: I remember the show.
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: I remember you posted something a long time ago. Yeah,
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: you went down to Atlanta. I don't know. You posted
- 2:08:40Speaker 1: something and then it was funny because my my cousin,
- 2:08:42Speaker 1: Jake's brother had re posted on Instagram. I was a
- 2:08:46Speaker 1: funny little bit, right, there.
- 2:08:47Speaker 4: But yeah, well, I mean I thought I was a Falcon,
- 2:08:50Speaker 4: and I remember taking to Jake. We were we were
- 2:08:54Speaker 4: like doing something during draft week, and I was like, Hey,
- 2:08:56Speaker 4: where do you want to go? And I'm thinking, I
- 2:08:58Speaker 4: don't know what I'm thinking. He's like with the Falcons.
- 2:09:00Speaker 4: I was like, I want to to other Falcons too.
- 2:09:02Speaker 4: We kind of kind of looked at each other and
- 2:09:03Speaker 4: then we were cordial, nice. I liked a law He's awesome,
- 2:09:06Speaker 4: great guy. But when that phone rang at six and
- 2:09:10Speaker 4: he was two tables away from me, I was fucking sick.
- 2:09:13Speaker 5: I got a question. Yeah, looking back at the careers,
- 2:09:16Speaker 5: if you're at the gym, how would you draft that today?
- 2:09:19Speaker 4: Probably take Jake before me. Still, I mean, he's had
- 2:09:22Speaker 4: the longevity. He's eleven years in now. I think I
- 2:09:26Speaker 4: had a higher ceiling. But you can't beat long, Like
- 2:09:30Speaker 4: the best ability is durability.
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: He's gonna play another He's gonna play a long Don't
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: you want that? Like the number? I think he's he's
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: right now, he's got the streak for longest.
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: He's a Matthew.
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: He isn't he hasn't missed the game of things.
- 2:09:42Speaker 5: Which gets back to the first question.
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: But you would take if you go back to that,
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: it was brothers.
- 2:09:46Speaker 4: Yeah, well.
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: You're the one who even said brothers too, and then
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: your brother brings in the entire family.
- 2:09:54Speaker 7: Sounds good.
- 2:09:55Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, to go back to that, because I am
- 2:09:57Speaker 4: you guys fourteen, You take Jake second or second or
- 2:10:01Speaker 4: third overall over the Rams, picked over Greg Robinson, and
- 2:10:04Speaker 4: then I probably go six. Actually, probably take Zach Martin
- 2:10:08Speaker 4: because he's in that draft class as well.
- 2:10:10Speaker 5: He went to the Cowboys with the Cowboys.
- 2:10:12Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Fame. He probably actually goes before Jake.
- 2:10:15Speaker 4: So be like Jake or sorry Zach, Jake than me
- 2:10:18Speaker 4: because I'm obviously I had like a more splash and
- 2:10:21Speaker 4: there's still more time on Jake's career to do that.
- 2:10:23Speaker 4: I mean, I think Bruce didn't make a Pro Bowl
- 2:10:25Speaker 4: till his eleventh year. Bruce he made fourteen, but he
- 2:10:32Speaker 4: like he didn't make it for the like he made
- 2:10:34Speaker 4: the back half square. So yeah, I think, I mean,
- 2:10:38Speaker 4: obviously you take Jake before me for sure? For sure,
- 2:10:40Speaker 4: it makes me six. In it out loud, We'll delete that.
- 2:10:44Speaker 4: Let that out.
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I like how throws it in there. Let's think
- 2:10:47Speaker 2: about this.
- 2:10:48Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let me ask you this question that we
- 2:10:50Speaker 4: know it's gonna hurt.
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we kind of spun this. Yeah. That family.
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: That's a veteran tiertalk moves. Veteran tiertalk. Oh, he's good.
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: He's read a few books. He talks about leverage and
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: everything else. He knew how to spend the entire conversation
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: on us.
- 2:11:05Speaker 5: I mostly chat the books and represent that I read them.
- 2:11:11Speaker 2: Yeah. I think when it comes to brothers, though, it's
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: hard to beat the Mannings of the Watts Jones for sure,
- 2:11:16Speaker 2: like you had Chandler played a high level and then
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: his brother John Jones in the UFC as far as
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: the sport of football. But family lean, yeah, bris the
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: Kelsey's l those.
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: Guys they can be. I forgot about these.
- 2:11:34Speaker 4: Those are both famous, they are both Hall of famers.
- 2:11:38Speaker 5: Yeah, man, there's some good brothers.
- 2:11:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:11:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I put the I put the Kelsey's over the Watts.
- 2:11:45Speaker 2: I don't know, man, mhm, impact.
- 2:11:49Speaker 1: That what I'm saying, like Kelsey zuh. You know, I'm
- 2:11:55Speaker 1: just saying both of them, like.
- 2:11:58Speaker 4: Let me put you real quick, swifties, listen, no will
- 2:12:02Speaker 4: be then I'm looking at for you.
- 2:12:05Speaker 1: Remember Jason pulling from the center position on like a
- 2:12:08Speaker 1: like a toss, you know, and I'm middle linebacker trying
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: to get out there. That Holy this guy's running sixty
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: yards downfield. Now, I'm saying there stes. But as far
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: as impact every game, you know, like sack calls, fumbles
- 2:12:19Speaker 1: which change the center can't do that, a tight.
- 2:12:21Speaker 5: End which gets to the position you play. That's why
- 2:12:23Speaker 5: it's quarterback.
- 2:12:24Speaker 1: Yeah, quarterbacks gonna be first no matter.
- 2:12:25Speaker 5: What offensive tackles and rush It's like quarterbacks number one.
- 2:12:28Speaker 5: Tackles and rush players are two in terms of value
- 2:12:32Speaker 5: to the game.
- 2:12:32Speaker 4: I'm with you. I hear what you're saying.
- 2:12:34Speaker 5: Safety dead, last last guy.
- 2:12:36Speaker 4: It's down there.
- 2:12:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:12:37Speaker 4: Take the mccordy brothers out then they're gone.
- 2:12:39Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately listen.
- 2:12:40Speaker 4: Good brothers though, Yeah, good brothers. Yeah. And they're twins
- 2:12:43Speaker 4: to which kind of gives them an extra little bump.
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: It's nice.
- 2:12:45Speaker 2: Now. I think the Kelsey's edge them out as far as.
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: All pros, Yeah, but I'm talking about the impact.
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: Just Jason and Travis both of like seven plus JJ
- 2:12:55Speaker 2: had five.
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: Three time defensive player that's yeah.
- 2:12:58Speaker 5: Yeah, are we talk peak because his peak was pretty
- 2:13:03Speaker 5: high up? Yea peak was Yeah, I could debate right
- 2:13:07Speaker 5: there said you didn't say football athlete. If we're talking athletes,
- 2:13:11Speaker 5: I wouldn't put the Mannings potentially in there.
- 2:13:14Speaker 2: WHOA, they're they're playing their football players.
- 2:13:17Speaker 5: Yeah, the quarterbacks.
- 2:13:18Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. Yeah, I see what you're saying.
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: It's like, what's your definition of athletes?
- 2:13:22Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:13:22Speaker 4: This is a this is gonna go.
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: This has been such a conversational. Who wasn't Michael Phelps
- 2:13:28Speaker 2: is the greatest athlete of our generation. It's like, all right,
- 2:13:30Speaker 2: is he?
- 2:13:33Speaker 5: I don't know something. Something tells me if the guy
- 2:13:35Speaker 5: put his mind to it, Michael Jordan would be a
- 2:13:37Speaker 5: good swimmer too. So I feel like I'm Jay.
- 2:13:41Speaker 2: Lebron, Lebron and Jordan. I don't need to do what
- 2:13:48Speaker 2: Yeah Sterling and Shannon Sharp.
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: But the recentism right now we're gonna harballs.
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: The harballs in the coaching realm was who is.
- 2:13:58Speaker 4: Your biggest like rival in your mind from the defensive
- 2:14:02Speaker 4: side of the ball, Like when you're rushing the edge,
- 2:14:03Speaker 4: like you look at other guys and be like, I
- 2:14:04Speaker 4: gotta fucking outdo this.
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: Guy you're talking about, Like on the defense, like the
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: defensive side where.
- 2:14:10Speaker 4: You would watch other people's film and be like, hey,
- 2:14:12Speaker 4: I'm I believe I'm the top edge rusher in the
- 2:14:14Speaker 4: entire NFL. But some people might say this guy is Russian.
- 2:14:17Speaker 1: Was man. It's like the All Pro Team shifted and
- 2:14:20Speaker 1: Pro Bowl shifted, Pro Bow states same, but All Pro
- 2:14:22Speaker 1: team shifted every year. You had justin Houston have twenty
- 2:14:24Speaker 1: two sacks, you'd have Jared Allen you have twenty sacks.
- 2:14:26Speaker 1: You'd have DeMarcus Ware with twenty. You know what I mean,
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: It's a Von Miller eighteen. And so it was really
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: difficult to be one of those first team All pros.
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: But honestly, to answer that question, I watched their game
- 2:14:37Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, what can I take from them?
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: And you just hoped that in bettering your game you
- 2:14:41Speaker 1: would because it was all based on sacks. You know,
- 2:14:43Speaker 1: if you could have right around fifteen sacks, you probably
- 2:14:46Speaker 1: be a first you know, first team All Pro.
- 2:14:49Speaker 4: But who is the guy that you were like, did
- 2:14:50Speaker 4: you ever have a guy that you had like in
- 2:14:53Speaker 4: your mind? Nothing like that.
- 2:14:54Speaker 1: I just it was all about sacks. Yeah, and I realized,
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: like it's ridiculous, you know, because I could hit a
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: quarterback and and not get a sack all game. But
- 2:15:01Speaker 1: the media, everybody wants to know your sacks. You get
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: above ten sacks, you make a Pro Bowl, you get
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: you know, you're the highest paid athletes. So for me,
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: you know, I had to just embrace that it was
- 2:15:10Speaker 1: all about sacks, you know. And to your point, when
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: I had like forty fifty sixty tackles, like I'd get
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: three tackles a game, you would hope that two would
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: be TfL's wont be a sack, right, and you're all
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: Pro at the end of the year. Oh yeah, and
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: you got to shut down guys like us for sixty plays. Yeah,
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: that's brutal bone, I get it.
- 2:15:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: Who's your favorite defensive player you ever played with?
- 2:15:31Speaker 9: Uh?
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: Yeah, Pepper's Peppers Julius. Julius was a man.
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: Is he the best you ever played with? Too?
- 2:15:38Speaker 1: The best in what regard?
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: Just the best, like in your brain looking back, like
- 2:15:42Speaker 2: that's the best defensive player I ever played with.
- 2:15:44Speaker 1: Well, I also played with Charles Woodson too. Charles was
- 2:15:47Speaker 1: probably a greater playmaker, but Julius athletically physically could take
- 2:15:53Speaker 1: over a game at his position because he's what we
- 2:15:55Speaker 1: talked about pastors or he disrupts the quarterback every play.
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: How about AJ Hawk?
- 2:16:00Speaker 1: Just them? I remember when I first met AJ. I
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: remember when I first met agent. I was doing like
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: you know, I got draft and they brought us in
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: and I saw him walking down the hallway. I always
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: let his hair down too, and I walked up to
- 2:16:11Speaker 1: him like such a nervese, like a J Hawk. Clay
- 2:16:12Speaker 1: Matthews like shook his hand and knowing AJ now.
- 2:16:19Speaker 5: Like hey, you're like, I'm like both long hair, like
- 2:16:21Speaker 5: I think we're supposed to be friends exactly the best.
- 2:16:25Speaker 1: Once, did you guys see the game where he gave
- 2:16:27Speaker 1: double birds to his position coach, Winston mass So.
- 2:16:30Speaker 5: He thought he was being cut or he thought he
- 2:16:32Speaker 5: wasn't being re signed, right, No, no, no, he had
- 2:16:34Speaker 5: a great year.
- 2:16:34Speaker 1: Well I I yeah, I'm not sure what happened, but
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: he gave he gave double middle fingers to his coach
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: and then he got like a sack on like a blitz.
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: And then like this is when I was still involved
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: with Twitter and social media, and everyone's like, that's so disgraceful. Matthews,
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: you should be fine people coming down on AJ. You
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: got the sack, wasn't me? He is a man, though, I.
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: See Clay just tweet Hey that wasn't me, that was
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: a j Hawk tags him.
- 2:16:54Speaker 1: Now, I just I just filmed another commercial, that's all. Hey,
- 2:16:58Speaker 1: you go right there? Okay? It was a single single.
- 2:17:00Speaker 4: Bird, single bird, God something about the middle finger dudeeah,
- 2:17:04Speaker 4: I think so hard.
- 2:17:05Speaker 5: I think he was upset because they were taking him
- 2:17:07Speaker 5: off a third downs. It was his contract year and
- 2:17:10Speaker 5: we were hanging in his house and he had made
- 2:17:12Speaker 5: a comment like, yeah, I don't think they're gonna bring
- 2:17:13Speaker 5: me back, and so he's like fucking them out. Well,
- 2:17:15Speaker 5: guess what he had. He had a great year and
- 2:17:17Speaker 5: they signed him to like another three year deal.
- 2:17:19Speaker 2: That makes it even better.
- 2:17:23Speaker 4: So where do you finish on tier talk?
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: I think this could be one where we throw we
- 2:17:27Speaker 2: clip out all the brother names that we said, We
- 2:17:30Speaker 2: let the we let the fans aside, We let the
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: crowd decide. Get everybody else in the picture. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: we can roll with his for the clip because I
- 2:17:36Speaker 2: thought he had a good one. I thought he had
- 2:17:38Speaker 2: a good one.
- 2:17:38Speaker 4: We can do uh.
- 2:17:39Speaker 2: Our twisted questions, we have one for each of you guys.

- 2:18:15Speaker 2: for Clay. I want, I need, I need it. I
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: yearned for it. I need the most psychotic Ray mal
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: Luga story man psychotic.
- 2:18:25Speaker 1: I mean, well, he was obviously all this highlights on
- 2:18:27Speaker 1: his hits. You can see, man, we had this and
- 2:18:30Speaker 1: we had this linebacker on our teams, a five star recruit.
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: I think he came in the same year as Ray
- 2:18:35Speaker 1: or after. His name was Luther Brown. Luth is awesome,
- 2:18:40Speaker 1: and but Ray was on the team at the time,
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: and something something popped off somewhere. You know, I wasn't
- 2:18:45Speaker 1: privy to it. I was at home doing my homework.
- 2:18:47Speaker 1: And uh so the next day at practice or meetings,
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: this guy shows up, you know, Luther, and he's got
- 2:18:53Speaker 1: glasses on in meetings and and Luther's jacked I'm talking.
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: He's the guy who cut the frill on the bottom
- 2:18:58Speaker 1: of his shirt. Abs always hang out like someone you
- 2:19:00Speaker 1: would mess with. I think Pete might have made him
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: take his last suffer. He had to just swollen eye
- 2:19:06Speaker 1: like all black and blue. Like what happened Ray, Ray happened.
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but he might have mixed
- 2:19:13Speaker 1: you know, something in there. But something happened and Luther
- 2:19:17Speaker 1: got popped.
- 2:19:17Speaker 4: And but locker room, no, I.
- 2:19:20Speaker 1: This was outside of the locker room. This wasn't at
- 2:19:22Speaker 1: the locker room at the time. It just it just.
- 2:19:25Speaker 2: I never you never did anything.
- 2:19:27Speaker 1: He just didn't ask a questions, just carried on.
- 2:19:29Speaker 4: Was y was pe reacts when he saw the glasses
- 2:19:32Speaker 4: come off.
- 2:19:33Speaker 2: I mean it was as usual.
- 2:19:37Speaker 4: Corner getting jacked up.
- 2:19:38Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 2:19:39Speaker 5: I think they just let him fill and p He
- 2:19:41Speaker 5: probably said, hey, you got a bob and weave?
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Yeah, he took everything to stride. But yeah,
- 2:19:45Speaker 1: that that was just like where it's your own teammate,
- 2:19:47Speaker 1: your own linebacker, You're like, all right, man, this guy's crazy.
- 2:19:50Speaker 2: He's crazy, and where nobody just says anything to him
- 2:19:52Speaker 2: because you know how crazy he is. Yeah, it's like
- 2:19:54Speaker 2: a Nebraskan Dominicancu. We had a practice Saturday morning and
- 2:19:56Speaker 2: he knocks out an old lineman because I guess he
- 2:19:59Speaker 2: was holding, and Dominicin just palm to the back of
- 2:20:02Speaker 2: the head drops him right there in front of everybody.
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: Nobody says a word to Sue. We just like move
- 2:20:07Speaker 2: it up ten yards and continue. It was a scrimmage.
- 2:20:10Speaker 4: No, she just moved up to while ambulance is coming
- 2:20:12Speaker 4: on the field.
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: Yeah, we're like sit in the back. Holy shit, gonna
- 2:20:15Speaker 2: say a new guys in the back.
- 2:20:20Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 2:20:21Speaker 1: Yeah wild.
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: Did that linebacker stay at USC?
- 2:20:24Speaker 1: Yeah he was there?
- 2:20:24Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, he says, I know there was a guy
- 2:20:26Speaker 2: coming out named Arthur Brown. I didn't know if he
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: was he stopped now.
- 2:20:29Speaker 1: But yeah, Luther, Luther Brown was still on special teams
- 2:20:31Speaker 1: and whatnot. I think he played a little bit. But yeah,
- 2:20:33Speaker 1: when you nobody messed with lutheror nobody messed with Ray.
- 2:20:37Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody mess with Ray.
- 2:20:38Speaker 4: I do I have like a sideways question. It's not
- 2:20:40Speaker 4: necessarily towards the question, but like seeing Aaron Rodgers and
- 2:20:43Speaker 4: obviously twenty twenty happens, he's on his eyewashing, Like, was
- 2:20:47Speaker 4: he the same guy at the packers as you see
- 2:20:50Speaker 4: him as now? Was he always like this level of
- 2:20:52Speaker 4: like trying to be enlightened, trying to have more in
- 2:20:55Speaker 4: depth conversations in depth.
- 2:20:56Speaker 1: Thought, Uh, not as much as the time. I think
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: he probably has embraced that more now than ever, probably
- 2:21:03Speaker 1: around the COVID when it seemed like everybody was coming
- 2:21:06Speaker 1: down on him. But he's always been, you know, a
- 2:21:09Speaker 1: free spirit, free thinker, never went along with the norm.
- 2:21:12Speaker 1: It's just that because he was the you know, the
- 2:21:14Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, you got to be the Drew Brees, the
- 2:21:18Speaker 1: you know, the the Peyton mannings like the raw raw guy.
- 2:21:20Speaker 1: And you know, obviously Aaron kind of marches to the
- 2:21:24Speaker 1: beat of his own drum. I've always said he's like
- 2:21:25Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. There's you know, whomever is the opposite of Kobe.
- 2:21:30Speaker 1: Kobe was kind of like he was just a killer.
- 2:21:32Speaker 1: But he's not going to help anybody who doesn't seek help.
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: You know, he's not going to be that raw, raw guy.
- 2:21:36Speaker 1: And so I've always equated that to him. He's like Kobe, like,
- 2:21:39Speaker 1: if you you know, come to me if you want hell.
- 2:21:41Speaker 1: That's why Davante Jordi, the James Jones, these guys, he's
- 2:21:44Speaker 1: receivers who had so much success. It's because they bought in.
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: They got close to him, and they were on the
- 2:21:49Speaker 1: same page. So, man, I got nothing but love for
- 2:21:51Speaker 1: Aaron and and you know, hopefully it's I don't know
- 2:21:54Speaker 1: if he's coming back next year or what that out, Yeah,
- 2:21:57Speaker 1: it would. I'd like to see him come back, just
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: to end on a high note, just because twenty four.
- 2:22:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I love to see him. Yeah, I'd love to
- 2:22:04Speaker 2: see him get a little bit of the revenge.
- 2:22:06Speaker 4: Yeah, come the Titans, Aaron, come here on the Titans
- 2:22:10Speaker 4: for a little bit. Did you uh, you guys always
- 2:22:12Speaker 4: get along? Did you guys ever butt heads at all?
- 2:22:15Speaker 4: If it's a ship talking at all? Third down period?
- 2:22:17Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we did all that, but now we
- 2:22:20Speaker 1: never we never butted heads. Beating in that basketball oh man. Yeah,
- 2:22:25Speaker 1: speaking of that, that that Florida that Florida Pro Bowl back. Now,
- 2:22:30Speaker 1: we played a three on three. It was it was Kyle,
- 2:22:32Speaker 1: my younger brother, Casey, and me Versu Aaron, I think
- 2:22:36Speaker 1: one of his brothers and one of his buddies at
- 2:22:38Speaker 1: the time, three on three at the down in Miami,
- 2:22:41Speaker 1: Miami wherever it was. I got real physical, Yeah, I
- 2:22:44Speaker 1: got real I fact, yeah, it got real physical, and
- 2:22:47Speaker 1: we ended up winning.
- 2:22:48Speaker 5: Well said a pick on one of his buddy. So
- 2:22:52Speaker 5: it's kind of like a Matthew's brothers versus Rogers bros.
- 2:22:54Speaker 5: Now the youngest is of Jordan. He wasn't there but
- 2:22:56Speaker 5: Luke Aaron, and then they had a buddy who was
- 2:22:59Speaker 5: filling in for Jordan's you you knocked him.
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: It was screening.
- 2:23:10Speaker 5: He was like like eyes like like you know that
- 2:23:15Speaker 5: grunt sound. He finished the game. But it was a
- 2:23:20Speaker 5: competitive game obviously, Like even though he's a quarterback, Aaron's
- 2:23:24Speaker 5: a freakish athlete, you know, like you I guess, especially
- 2:23:28Speaker 5: earlier on in his career, ran lot more. But he's
- 2:23:29Speaker 5: a great athlete. His brother's great athlete. Obviously, we were
- 2:23:32Speaker 5: we were doing okay, and it was like to eleven,
- 2:23:35Speaker 5: but then like we got to eleven, but you have
- 2:23:36Speaker 5: to win by two and then they got to twelve
- 2:23:38Speaker 5: and it was it was heated and and finally, you know,
- 2:23:42Speaker 5: we put him away with a little jump hook in
- 2:23:45Speaker 5: the paint. And Aaron, uh, he doesn't take losses very well,
- 2:23:49Speaker 5: it turns out. So he got grabbed the ball and
- 2:23:53Speaker 5: like he kicked the ball, is still sailing and walks
- 2:24:00Speaker 5: off and like, I don't think he's ever talked to.
- 2:24:04Speaker 4: Me since.
- 2:24:07Speaker 1: You saw him in New York on the streets. But yeah,
- 2:24:10Speaker 1: like that's the competitor he is though. I mean, like
- 2:24:13Speaker 1: that was a funny, fun anecdotal.
- 2:24:15Speaker 5: So for me, I didn't have that career. So like
- 2:24:17Speaker 5: beating Aaron in a game, like, I'm gonna remember that.
- 2:24:20Speaker 5: It's cool. Like I don't go around telling people the story.
- 2:24:22Speaker 5: But like you asked, but Aaron, like he's got a
- 2:24:25Speaker 5: million bigger moments in his head he should be thinking about,
- 2:24:27Speaker 5: like when he won the MVP of the Super Bowl.
- 2:24:29Speaker 5: But I know he knows that, and I know he
- 2:24:31Speaker 5: holds onto it.
- 2:24:32Speaker 4: He'll have that forever, He'll always have his number. And
- 2:24:36Speaker 4: I was like, hey, you guys were butt heads or
- 2:24:38Speaker 4: anything like that? You did whisper that was that pickups
- 2:24:41Speaker 4: part of.
- 2:24:42Speaker 5: It is like when I see her and like it's cool.
- 2:24:45Speaker 5: So like if I if we say this story, he's
- 2:24:47Speaker 5: be like, hey man, I remember that time he went
- 2:24:48Speaker 5: on busting and you talked ship.
- 2:24:50Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, he'll have it holstered.
- 2:24:53Speaker 4: Literally if he ever sees this clip, we'll have a
- 2:24:54Speaker 4: basketball in him at all times. Yeah, he'll.
- 2:24:58Speaker 5: He's gonna hold against for sure.
- 2:25:00Speaker 4: But like you got, you probably got the Achilles, like
- 2:25:03Speaker 4: you get less mobile, you'll probably be able to handle
- 2:25:05Speaker 4: them respectfully.
- 2:25:06Speaker 5: I had him back then too. Now he's really.
- 2:25:13Speaker 2: Where he's there. I love your dog. We have a
- 2:25:16Speaker 2: harder twisted question for you have a business opportunity to
- 2:25:19Speaker 2: buy and build a dream stadium for a destination Bowl
- 2:25:22Speaker 2: game outside of the US. Where are you building and why?
- 2:25:26Speaker 1: Which on college?
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:25:29Speaker 5: Well all right, so I got unpacked only one so
- 2:25:33Speaker 5: I'm building. And then if I'm building a bowl games.
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: You too, assholds, I'll get you best friends over there.
- 2:25:46Speaker 1: You ask, like a destination Bowl game? Who wrote this question?
- 2:25:49Speaker 9: First off, there's the Bahamas Balls, the Bahamas Bowl, there's
- 2:25:52Speaker 9: the Pinstripe Bowl. Then just say yeah, yeah, you caught
- 2:25:58Speaker 9: himself though, he's like god damn, it's.
- 2:26:04Speaker 4: Already ascility right now.
- 2:26:05Speaker 2: It's there for Kyle talking circles around us and we're
- 2:26:09Speaker 2: talking college football.
- 2:26:12Speaker 1: This is such a lame question, That's what I'm not
- 2:26:15Speaker 1: going It's a lame question.
- 2:26:20Speaker 5: Well, I I yeah, the same question. I saw the
- 2:26:25Speaker 5: same question. I was like, well I don't really understand,
- 2:26:27Speaker 5: all right, So I'll show you how I approached the question.
- 2:26:30Speaker 5: So I go, Okay, a bowl game. But I'm building
- 2:26:33Speaker 5: a stadium for a bowl game, So what's the motivation
- 2:26:37Speaker 5: of building a probably to turn a profit? So now
- 2:26:40Speaker 5: I have to think about, like, okay, what city has
- 2:26:43Speaker 5: a built in fan base that likes football outside the country?
- 2:26:46Speaker 5: So I got to do my due diligence. The NFL
- 2:26:48Speaker 5: has probably already done it, and they tend to pick
- 2:26:49Speaker 5: London in Mexico City. So now I'm already narrowing on
- 2:26:52Speaker 5: those two. Is it going to be London? Is it
- 2:26:53Speaker 5: going to be Mexico City? Those are two of the
- 2:26:55Speaker 5: biggest m s as on the planet. They already have
- 2:26:58Speaker 5: some built in fan base because the NFL has been
- 2:27:00Speaker 5: laying the groundwork. And then I would have to look
- 2:27:03Speaker 5: at the economics, like am I going to own this stadium?
- 2:27:06Speaker 5: What can I lease it in addition to the Bowl game,
- 2:27:08Speaker 5: can I lease it out to others?
- 2:27:10Speaker 4: And so hell ya?
- 2:27:11Speaker 5: And then so then I'm gonna get to safety and
- 2:27:13Speaker 5: security because people won't travel unless they feel safe. Right,
- 2:27:16Speaker 5: So I'm probably not being an expert because I've been
- 2:27:19Speaker 5: to both those cities. I'm probably gonna go London.
- 2:27:22Speaker 4: Okay, I like I like the answer. I think you
- 2:27:26Speaker 4: missed a key spot though, Cobo saying Lucas. It's a
- 2:27:31Speaker 4: genius destination spot not very far away. Everyone wants to
- 2:27:35Speaker 4: vacation there. You're thinking about Bowl games, You're gonna get teams.
- 2:27:39Speaker 4: Fans of those teams are going to want to travel
- 2:27:40Speaker 4: with the bull games. Where you want to go? Beach location,
- 2:27:43Speaker 4: want to do a little marlin fish and they will
- 2:27:44Speaker 4: catch the boys. Put a couple points on the board.
- 2:27:46Speaker 4: That's where That's where you want to go. Right there,
- 2:27:48Speaker 4: head over to mango deck, see a what T shirt contests,
- 2:27:51Speaker 4: push up competition, have a little fun, then being bamboom.
- 2:27:53Speaker 4: You had a great time. I agree.
- 2:27:55Speaker 5: I think I touched on that though. If it was
- 2:27:57Speaker 5: just a Bowl game, fine, But the economics of building
- 2:27:59Speaker 5: a stadium is so expensive that you actually have to
- 2:28:01Speaker 5: lease the stadium out all year round. This is why
- 2:28:03Speaker 5: the Titans are getting rid of the outdoor stadium and
- 2:28:05Speaker 5: putting an indoor because just leasing it in the summer
- 2:28:08Speaker 5: to Taylor Swift and the Titans, it doesn't make money.
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: So how am I?
- 2:28:16Speaker 5: How am I going to have an event in Cabo
- 2:28:18Speaker 5: like four out of seven days a week the way
- 2:28:21Speaker 5: I could in a city the population of London or
- 2:28:23Speaker 5: Mexico City, London being fifteen million, Mexico City.
- 2:28:28Speaker 2: So me and Claire soon, Oh yeah, Hurricane boom.
- 2:28:35Speaker 4: Yeah, London definitely is the move, right.
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love to change my answer.
- 2:28:42Speaker 2: Doctor, Shall we.
- 2:28:45Speaker 4: The beginning?
- 2:28:47Speaker 7: What else? How are you guys as a little league
- 2:28:50Speaker 7: youth coaches competitive?
- 2:28:53Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:28:56Speaker 5: So I'm I'm coaching now. I coached the eighth grade
- 2:29:01Speaker 5: team on the street football, and I would say our
- 2:29:06Speaker 5: kids are very disciplined, and they're running schemes that are
- 2:29:10Speaker 5: that are probably more advanced than most most eighth grade kids.
- 2:29:13Speaker 1: Clay, you're a little younger, Yeah, our five years old?
- 2:29:16Speaker 2: Is he watching him? As a head coaches? He get
- 2:29:18Speaker 2: after the parents as he get.
- 2:29:19Speaker 5: After Let me all right, so my kids are old? No,
- 2:29:25Speaker 5: got I got to serve it up because my kids
- 2:29:27Speaker 5: are older and I. It runs in the family. There's
- 2:29:31Speaker 5: a there's a there's a hot bloodedness. I would argue,
- 2:29:34Speaker 5: we're not on the field, we're very quiet, very stoic,
- 2:29:37Speaker 5: pretty reserved, like borderline social anxiety disorder, and so, but
- 2:29:42Speaker 5: when you get on the field, it changes. And so
- 2:29:45Speaker 5: as a coach, he's come to some of my kids
- 2:29:47Speaker 5: games to support as a good uncle and and my
- 2:29:49Speaker 5: brother Casey as well. And I get I get hot,
- 2:29:51Speaker 5: I work, I work the refs right and occasionally threatened
- 2:29:56Speaker 5: the other coaches with violence, and so there's been a
- 2:29:59Speaker 5: lot of judgment from him to me over the years,
- 2:30:01Speaker 5: like dude, you're embarrassing, Like.
- 2:30:03Speaker 1: I can't get really embarrassing. I sat by him one
- 2:30:07Speaker 1: time and I had to back up in the stands
- 2:30:08Speaker 1: because I was embarrassed I was doing the ref The
- 2:30:11Speaker 1: ref threatened to throw him out of a third or
- 2:30:14Speaker 1: fourth grade girls basketball and I was like, it's like
- 2:30:18Speaker 1: twelve to ten, one more outburst from you. I had
- 2:30:21Speaker 1: to leave. I had to.
- 2:30:25Speaker 5: Go hard to go home. So anyway, a lot of
- 2:30:27Speaker 5: judgment to where I'm like, you know what, I really
- 2:30:28Speaker 5: got to look at myself, like I got to get better,
- 2:30:30Speaker 5: I got to be a better person, like I have
- 2:30:32Speaker 5: to not you know, get that fired up. And I'm like, yeah,
- 2:30:35Speaker 5: you know, he's right, Like I got I got to
- 2:30:37Speaker 5: grow up. And then this guy I go to his kid, Colton,
- 2:30:41Speaker 5: who's probably four at the time, his first game. I'm
- 2:30:43Speaker 5: there to support and like, as soon as the game
- 2:30:46Speaker 5: pops off, I see Clay start chirping at the other
- 2:30:48Speaker 5: coaches start getting real like aggravated jerky motion and like
- 2:30:52Speaker 5: kind of chippy, and I'm like, Okay, I feel better
- 2:30:54Speaker 5: about myself.
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: Did that not happen?
- 2:30:56Speaker 1: That didn't Now. I was very cool about it, but
- 2:30:58Speaker 1: I did throw some sarcasm in some remarks, some passive
- 2:31:01Speaker 1: remarks because he had a kindergarten team. We're playing with
- 2:31:03Speaker 1: a pre k and he's blitzing every play like that,
- 2:31:06Speaker 1: have some sportsmanship. I know your team's better, you're going
- 2:31:09Speaker 1: to win, but have some sportsmanship. I'm about sportsmanship and
- 2:31:12Speaker 1: I didn't get that way. Yeah, so what do we
- 2:31:14Speaker 1: do the next year? We just ran the table and
- 2:31:15Speaker 1: one of the you know, the kindergarten championship.
- 2:31:18Speaker 4: So this is just lessons.
- 2:31:21Speaker 5: What was more satisfying the kindergarten championship of the Super Bowl.
- 2:31:25Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, No, I don't know. I
- 2:31:29Speaker 1: don't know. You know how how old you guys kids are.
- 2:31:32Speaker 1: But I finally felt that feeling that I was missing
- 2:31:35Speaker 1: from the football field when I got to coach my
- 2:31:37Speaker 1: kids again, kind of living through them. They talk about
- 2:31:40Speaker 1: that because we won our first game like thirty four
- 2:31:42Speaker 1: to thirty one, and I just my stomach like I was,
- 2:31:44Speaker 1: I was just in k nots like I was, like
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: I was with the I was with him. He's five
- 2:31:48Speaker 1: years old, right, it shouldn't matter, but it does. I'm
- 2:31:50Speaker 1: a competitive But the Super Bowl was cool too. That
- 2:31:55Speaker 1: was actually a blur. That was my second year. I
- 2:31:57Speaker 1: didn't I didn't Maximi, I didn't Kapali. I was like
- 2:31:59Speaker 1: off the field, like, no picture, We're gonna win like five,
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: oh yeah, fifteen and one. We got the lose to
- 2:32:05Speaker 1: the Giants. Next year Kaepernick runs. It was just like,
- 2:32:09Speaker 1: I mean, a super Bowl thing's hard to do.
- 2:32:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:32:11Speaker 4: Yeah. Joe Tyreek Hill he said he didn't make the
- 2:32:15Speaker 4: playoffs for the first time in his career. He's got
- 2:32:16Speaker 4: a he's got to go a different team now.
- 2:32:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:32:19Speaker 5: That Jake was playing for the Falcons. They were at
- 2:32:21Speaker 5: what twenty eight three in the fourth quarter to the
- 2:32:23Speaker 5: Patriots and they had that collapse. It was heartbreaking, and
- 2:32:26Speaker 5: I was talking to Clay and you know, we're chatting
- 2:32:29Speaker 5: it and I was like, hey, you talk to Jake
- 2:32:31Speaker 5: and he's like, yeah. You was like, I'm gonna give
- 2:32:32Speaker 5: him some time. This was a couple of days after.
- 2:32:34Speaker 5: I was like, what do you say. He's like, you know,
- 2:32:35Speaker 5: he handled pretty well. He's like, you know, hey, it's
- 2:32:37Speaker 5: tough loss. It breaks your eye, but like, listen, we're
- 2:32:40Speaker 5: young team, got Matt Ryan, We're gonna be back. We're
- 2:32:42Speaker 5: gonna be out this thing. Multiple times in Clay's like, no,
- 2:32:44Speaker 5: we ain't. No. It spoke to just how hard it
- 2:32:49Speaker 5: is to get back, even if you have the same
- 2:32:50Speaker 5: exact team, and you know, which really leads into just
- 2:32:54Speaker 5: how great the Mahomes and the Bradys are and all
- 2:32:56Speaker 5: that two quarters.
- 2:32:58Speaker 4: Away from go to the Super Bowl game nineteen Chiefs
- 2:33:01Speaker 4: because we're taking it to the Chiefs taking and we
- 2:33:04Speaker 4: beat him earlier that year too, and then Mahomes he
- 2:33:07Speaker 4: don't have the same forty times he does like some
- 2:33:09Speaker 4: little forty yards scamper on two minutes. We can't back,
- 2:33:13Speaker 4: you can't what's going on? And he just scored. They
- 2:33:17Speaker 4: end up going up at half never looked back. Brutal.
- 2:33:20Speaker 4: I hate him.
- 2:33:21Speaker 5: Yeah no, I'm just kidding.
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: Since we have mom, should we do our pet peeves

- 2:34:27Speaker 2: talk about what a pet peevevar has been of ours
- 2:34:30Speaker 2: has been recently. One that's off the top of my
- 2:34:32Speaker 2: head is my wife always tells me to turn off
- 2:34:34Speaker 2: the light in the pantry, and it just it triggers
- 2:34:37Speaker 2: me because it's like, I'm fucking I'm gonna go back
- 2:34:39Speaker 2: in there at some point and snack on something. Why
- 2:34:41Speaker 2: do I have to turn the pantry light off every time?
- 2:34:44Speaker 2: Nate Bargati has an incredible bit. He's like, what are
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: we sending a we saving a nickel for? Like, how
- 2:34:49Speaker 2: much are we actually saving? Turn it off lights in
- 2:34:50Speaker 2: the house.
- 2:34:51Speaker 1: You have a door on your pantry, Yeah, you can
- 2:34:53Speaker 1: get one of those press button ones where you just
- 2:34:54Speaker 1: open the door, it turns on, and close it and
- 2:34:56Speaker 1: they'll turn it off.
- 2:34:57Speaker 4: Holy shit, look at that?
- 2:35:00Speaker 2: Can I just vent right now?
- 2:35:02Speaker 1: Sorry, it's not like a woman. You're not looking for advice,
- 2:35:05Speaker 1: You're just venting, all.
- 2:35:06Speaker 4: Right, find a solution, will Yeah, it's a terrible pete
- 2:35:09Speaker 4: all right, Who's gonna go next, did.
- 2:35:14Speaker 5: You I got the opposite. I'll tell you my pet Beeve.
- 2:35:16Speaker 5: A second is my wife will leave the lights on,
- 2:35:19Speaker 5: so instead of complaining, I just put in neutron lights
- 2:35:21Speaker 5: in the house and you can just swipe from an
- 2:35:22Speaker 5: app off off. So have your wife look into that.
- 2:35:27Speaker 5: So I'll tell you my pet Peeve. I'll tell you
- 2:35:32Speaker 5: my pet beeve is is political text messages, You guys
- 2:35:37Speaker 5: get moved lots. So all right, So I got put
- 2:35:42Speaker 5: on the Republicans, the Democrats, the Radical Bernies, like I'm
- 2:35:49Speaker 5: getting fifteen to twenty text messages a day from every
- 2:35:54Speaker 5: political party. I got put on some lists and I
- 2:35:56Speaker 5: can't unsubscribe. It says like, first of all, it says
- 2:35:59Speaker 5: put stop two end to take yourself off. Then it's
- 2:36:01Speaker 5: like do you put your stop and then as the
- 2:36:04Speaker 5: two in the end or do you have to spell
- 2:36:05Speaker 5: it out? But no matter how many times I do that,
- 2:36:08Speaker 5: I think when I actually reply like unsubscribed or stop
- 2:36:11Speaker 5: to end, it just it just actually it just actually says, hey,
- 2:36:14Speaker 5: this is.
- 2:36:14Speaker 1: A real number, ladies.
- 2:36:15Speaker 5: And I don't know whether it's AT and T or
- 2:36:18Speaker 5: these parties. If anybody knows, could you help me out
- 2:36:21Speaker 5: take me off these fucking lists. Man, you don't need
- 2:36:25Speaker 5: the information, and I'm getting hit from every side.
- 2:36:28Speaker 1: Mine's just toilet paper that's put on the roll upside down.
- 2:36:31Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of that. Like political messages suck,
- 2:36:34Speaker 1: but like I hate when have it upside down because
- 2:36:37Speaker 1: you gotta hold it and then rip it as opposed
- 2:36:39Speaker 1: to just one quick swipe like that. It's very it's
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: really good, you know what.
- 2:36:45Speaker 5: I never and now moving forward, I will notice this
- 2:36:47Speaker 5: the rest of my life and be more aggravated.
- 2:36:49Speaker 4: Yeah, you should be thank you never wanted dangling. My
- 2:36:52Speaker 4: pet peeve is to my children who want to take
- 2:36:55Speaker 4: every word literally. Like if I tell them, hey, please
- 2:36:58Speaker 4: don't do this, and then they don't, they do the
- 2:37:00Speaker 4: thing I tell them not to do, and then I
- 2:37:02Speaker 4: explain to them conversation they have they say they don't remember.
- 2:37:05Speaker 4: But when I say the words that I said, and
- 2:37:06Speaker 4: I add or subtracts when word, they'll actually be like no, no, no,
- 2:37:08Speaker 4: you said this too. That pisses me the fuck off.
- 2:37:11Speaker 1: I do not like that.
- 2:37:13Speaker 4: So kids, you're not gonna see this clip. Tell your
- 2:37:16Speaker 4: kids to stop doing that.

- 2:37:37Speaker 5: they never remember that. But if one time you say, hey,

- 2:38:17Speaker 2: finish your dinner. Then she won't finish the dinner.
- 2:38:20Speaker 5: Yeah, because their emotions, it's chaos. They're emotional terrorists.
- 2:38:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta hold that cookie over their head till
- 2:38:26Speaker 4: the dinner. What you gotta do, no question, dude.
- 2:38:28Speaker 2: Now I said it. I'll just set it far enough
- 2:38:30Speaker 2: away to where she can't get it. She can see
- 2:38:32Speaker 2: it and be like, you will get this cookie, but
- 2:38:34Speaker 2: you've got to eat five more bites.
- 2:38:36Speaker 4: Another one. Another one, dude, is we will like every
- 2:38:41Speaker 4: night before bet it's like, hey, five minutes before by
- 2:38:43Speaker 4: the time I have to give them the notice that
- 2:38:45Speaker 4: in five minutes we will be going to sleep. But
- 2:38:47Speaker 4: once that five minutes is up, they also have like
- 2:38:49Speaker 4: a routine of like having a nighttime snack or having
- 2:38:51Speaker 4: this and they know when I say five minutes, you've
- 2:38:55Speaker 4: got five minutes. However, when I get to the end
- 2:38:57Speaker 4: of five minutes ago, okay, bedtime, then they want to
- 2:38:59Speaker 4: put out the do nick time snack? You said we
- 2:39:01Speaker 4: do this, You said we do that. It's like brother,
- 2:39:04Speaker 4: you had five minutes, right, You remember when I said
- 2:39:06Speaker 4: that we could have got that done and they don't
- 2:39:08Speaker 4: and then I end up betting the knee.
- 2:39:10Speaker 5: Yeah, well, what are the two times of the day
- 2:39:11Speaker 5: where kids are the most difficult. It's like waking him
- 2:39:13Speaker 5: up and putting him to bed, Like when you work
- 2:39:16Speaker 5: that that's what you got. Like I see him in
- 2:39:18Speaker 5: the morning, I see him at night, and like those
- 2:39:19Speaker 5: are the two most aggravating times a week. And I'm like, man,
- 2:39:22Speaker 5: who are these kids? They're so pleasant, they're so nice,
- 2:39:24Speaker 5: but like during the week, I'm like, God, this is frustrated.
- 2:39:27Speaker 2: You get to bed, it's prutal.
- 2:39:29Speaker 5: It's a war of attrition.
- 2:39:32Speaker 2: You either take that dress off or Daddy's gonna have
- 2:39:34Speaker 2: to take that dress off. And I promise you right
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: now you're going to be very frustrated. I know you've
- 2:39:37Speaker 2: learned the one frustrated. You'll be very frustrated and sad
- 2:39:40Speaker 2: and mad if dad has got to walk over there.
- 2:39:42Speaker 5: Let me give you some elder advice. When you get
- 2:39:43Speaker 5: to four kids, you let them sleep in that dress.
- 2:39:45Speaker 5: You're like, Noah, yeah, whatever you want. Yeah, Like you
- 2:39:47Speaker 5: realize you don't have unlimited energy and there's only so
- 2:39:49Speaker 5: many battles, and like I gotta win the toothbrush battle.
- 2:39:52Speaker 5: You know, I got to win the homework battle.
- 2:39:53Speaker 4: So I let them.
- 2:39:54Speaker 5: I give them the dress battle, like, no sleep in
- 2:39:57Speaker 5: that dress.
- 2:39:57Speaker 2: That's a small way.
- 2:39:58Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I feel right. Sometimes it gets ticky t.
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: It's like, well, oh we got to worry about right
- 2:40:05Speaker 2: now is toothbrush? Get your can close off.
- 2:40:07Speaker 1: Put them in the laundry.
- 2:40:07Speaker 5: That's a rookie. That's rookie ball, right.
- 2:40:09Speaker 2: No, I gotta dance. I gotta spin and she'll start
- 2:40:11Speaker 2: singing and just spinning and like all you gotta wait
- 2:40:14Speaker 2: till the ceremony is over.
- 2:40:15Speaker 5: Yeah, Taylor, I'll go back. One of the things in
- 2:40:19Speaker 5: my line of work, you meet with a lot of
- 2:40:20Speaker 5: In commercial real estate, you meet with a lot of
- 2:40:22Speaker 5: older people, and part of their decision making as it
- 2:40:25Speaker 5: relates to real estate is legacy, like do I want
- 2:40:28Speaker 5: to leave these assets to my kids? Do I want
- 2:40:30Speaker 5: to sell and do something different? And and why this
- 2:40:33Speaker 5: is relevant to to we spoke about it early on,
- 2:40:36Speaker 5: is is they end up like kind of reflecting on
- 2:40:39Speaker 5: their life often is like gosh, like I you know,
- 2:40:41Speaker 5: oftentimes real estate, I wish I bought a different building,
- 2:40:44Speaker 5: I wish I bought more of these or whatever, and
- 2:40:46Speaker 5: that conversation leads to I wish I did and or regrets.
- 2:40:50Speaker 5: It's it's a weird dynamic in commercial real estate brokerage.
- 2:40:54Speaker 5: And I'll tell you I have. I've been in living
- 2:40:56Speaker 5: rooms and office buildings and conversations with people who are
- 2:41:01Speaker 5: nearing the end of their life, and I hundreds thousands
- 2:41:04Speaker 5: of times I say, you know, I wish I had
- 2:41:05Speaker 5: more kids. I've never met someone who said I wish
- 2:41:07Speaker 5: I had less. So if you're thinking about having three,
- 2:41:10Speaker 5: just do it.
- 2:41:10Speaker 2: Man, did you just want aid me? You?
- 2:41:12Speaker 5: Just you?
- 2:41:13Speaker 4: And the podcast the way it started that was incredible.
- 2:41:19Speaker 5: This is just my experience. Just go for it. You're
- 2:41:21Speaker 5: never going to regret the kids you have. Yeah, okay,
- 2:41:24Speaker 5: unless they're really bad.
- 2:41:27Speaker 4: In his face because you were like, it's so well worded.
- 2:41:31Speaker 4: You speak good, you speak real good, you speak good. Yeah, top,
- 2:41:40Speaker 4: I'll have another kid.
- 2:41:43Speaker 5: If you really are the attraction, you're never going to
- 2:41:46Speaker 5: be like man, like, you're right, I wish I had less,
- 2:41:49Speaker 5: but I am.
- 2:41:50Speaker 4: I'm so happy before my life's at right now. I
- 2:41:53Speaker 4: enjoy it. I don't care for diapers. I don't care
- 2:41:55Speaker 4: about that. I enjoy the beginning part, but the process,
- 2:41:59Speaker 4: I'm not in love with the process. I need to
- 2:42:00Speaker 4: get back in love with the process of having a kid.
- 2:42:02Speaker 5: Look you, your family is like a business. You gotta scale,
- 2:42:04Speaker 5: You gotta hire more, hire, hire someone to change.
- 2:42:07Speaker 4: I got, I got land that needs working, goats, I.
- 2:42:09Speaker 5: Got, I got fifty acres. You got like two hundred, man,
- 2:42:12Speaker 5: trust me, it's cool.
- 2:42:13Speaker 4: Thirteen. Yeah.
- 2:42:15Speaker 5: No, I'm saying I get it like I I I
- 2:42:18Speaker 5: got sick.
- 2:42:18Speaker 4: Bro, Yeah, you gotta you got, you gotta orchard. I
- 2:42:21Speaker 4: got a state. It sounds like that's sick. Two hundred acres, yeah,
- 2:42:26Speaker 4: out there? And leapers, aren't you?
- 2:42:27Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 2:42:28Speaker 4: Bro boy?
- 2:42:28Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 2:42:29Speaker 4: Nice? Nice? What's with all packers guys moving to uh Nashville?
- 2:42:33Speaker 4: What's the deal? It's coming out of territory.
- 2:42:35Speaker 1: I just I think we were just close when we
- 2:42:37Speaker 1: played while we had success. Now we're just just sticking together. Honest.
- 2:42:40Speaker 1: I think that's why I love it.
- 2:42:41Speaker 2: That is awesome.
- 2:42:42Speaker 1: But at the end, you know, you want to wrap
- 2:42:44Speaker 1: this up. I can see you taking those deep breaths
- 2:42:45Speaker 1: a lot.
- 2:42:46Speaker 4: But like the culture, well, I'm sweating because it's hot.
- 2:42:49Speaker 1: But but this is what was so and I guesaid,
- 2:42:52Speaker 1: this is what was so great about our team while
- 2:42:54Speaker 1: we had so much success, is that draft and developed
- 2:42:56Speaker 1: guys played seven, eight, nine, ten years there. It wasn't
- 2:42:59Speaker 1: like you were you know, some of these teams where
- 2:43:01Speaker 1: they're bringing in free age. We hardly ever brought in
- 2:43:03Speaker 1: free age. Maybe we did need to do that to
- 2:43:05Speaker 1: get over the hum but ultimately we had such success
- 2:43:07Speaker 1: because we had that core nucleus of guys and draft
- 2:43:10Speaker 1: and development. Yeah, and I think that's why you see,
- 2:43:12Speaker 1: you know, you got Mason Crosby and his family out here,
- 2:43:15Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, Baktiari. Obviously we moved out here, got some land,
- 2:43:20Speaker 1: but he's got he's got land all over the world,
- 2:43:22Speaker 1: so who knows where he's gonna, you know, cultivate. But yeah,
- 2:43:24Speaker 1: I mean it's I think we just all like being
- 2:43:26Speaker 1: close to each other and our families are so connected.
- 2:43:28Speaker 1: From the time we spent in Green Bay.
- 2:43:29Speaker 4: Dude, you brought up a guy. We love him, David
- 2:43:31Speaker 4: bat Just by the way, let's give a run a
- 2:43:33Speaker 4: plus for Dave. Just had a new kid. Actually, yeah,
- 2:43:37Speaker 4: I saw that, Desmond. Yeah, Yeah, how's uh do what
- 2:43:41Speaker 4: I was like the ultimate locker room guy.
- 2:43:44Speaker 1: Dave was like from the moment he got there to
- 2:43:47Speaker 1: where he finished, I mean, just complete one aid. He
- 2:43:51Speaker 1: talks to Corey Linsley about this, Like, Dave when he
- 2:43:54Speaker 1: got there, had his head down and whatnot. Then he
- 2:43:56Speaker 1: got he got a little taste of success and whatnot,
- 2:43:59Speaker 1: and then he just be came boch tr d boch.
- 2:44:03Speaker 1: You know, just like just as you know sixty nine
- 2:44:08Speaker 1: King Dinner for two. You know, like he became a character.
- 2:44:11Speaker 1: But I love him. I just text him yesterday obviously
- 2:44:13Speaker 1: when he had his uh, his boy and whatnot. But
- 2:44:15Speaker 1: we stay in touch. Our parents are close with his parents,
- 2:44:19Speaker 1: and I know his siblings and whatnot. I love him.
- 2:44:22Speaker 1: He was a amazing player. It's such a shame that
- 2:44:25Speaker 1: his uh time there and potentially in the league came
- 2:44:28Speaker 1: to an end with uh good right there with his
- 2:44:32Speaker 1: knee injury. Because I told im, I text him one
- 2:44:36Speaker 1: year he had gotten his second or third All Pro
- 2:44:38Speaker 1: so you're on your way to the Hall of Fame
- 2:44:40Speaker 1: and you know, but listen, that's a that's a separate
- 2:44:43Speaker 1: conversation about you know, financial security and getting your money,
- 2:44:46Speaker 1: and fans don't agree with that. But he's a stud
- 2:44:48Speaker 1: loved him, still love him. But he's ridiculous.
- 2:44:50Speaker 5: Remember we had him at my house before the draft.
- 2:44:52Speaker 5: He was coming out of Colorado and he wasn't a
- 2:44:55Speaker 5: big it's not a recruit, a big prospect in terms
- 2:44:58Speaker 5: of like a first round guy.
- 2:45:00Speaker 2: We had him down.
- 2:45:01Speaker 5: You guys came down the beach and I was just
- 2:45:03Speaker 5: chatting with him. I was like, Hey, what are you thinking?
- 2:45:04Speaker 5: Like how's it going. He's like, you know, I'm just
- 2:45:05Speaker 5: really eager to get an opportunity. I hope to get
- 2:45:07Speaker 5: drafted mid round, like you know, make a team. Improved myself,
- 2:45:10Speaker 5: like it wasn't a first round pick where it's like
- 2:45:13Speaker 5: if you're not going number six, you're pit you're pissed
- 2:45:15Speaker 5: right and and an incredible career I meant, But I
- 2:45:19Speaker 5: I got to spend more time with his brother Eric.
- 2:45:21Speaker 5: You guys hung out with Eric. I think we've been
- 2:45:23Speaker 5: around hung out with Eric. That's a different level of energy,

- 2:47:29Speaker 6: So?
- 2:47:29Speaker 1: So Josh, Josh sitting in TJ Lang and obviously David
- 2:47:34Speaker 1: were huge Pitch Perfect fans, and I have to admit
- 2:47:36Speaker 1: I hadn't watched it at the time, or maybe I had.
- 2:47:38Speaker 1: It was just you know, just just logged it away,
- 2:47:40Speaker 1: and so they were always reaching out. They were dming
- 2:47:43Speaker 1: the actors in it and the director and I'm forgetting
- 2:47:46Speaker 1: their names right, still trying to dat or possibly, but
- 2:47:50Speaker 1: so no, they I think one of them said like, hey,
- 2:47:52Speaker 1: if you ever need you know, what do they call
- 2:47:55Speaker 1: the background people? And so Elizabeth Banks is her name.
- 2:47:58Speaker 1: She had reached out and said, hey, you know, my
- 2:48:00Speaker 1: husband's a huge NFL fan. He's you know, the director
- 2:48:03Speaker 1: of this and our co director, and we want to
- 2:48:05Speaker 1: get you guys in. So Dave can He's like, oh,
- 2:48:07Speaker 1: she responded, bullshit, Like they're going to send over the script.
- 2:48:10Speaker 1: So it's remember the script, thinking we might have like
- 2:48:12Speaker 1: one or two It was like four to six pages
- 2:48:14Speaker 1: of like lines, dances, choreography and whatnot. So I think
- 2:48:18Speaker 1: we went down to Baton Rouge or one of these
- 2:48:20Speaker 1: Louisiana cities and filmed it over like two or three days.
- 2:48:23Speaker 1: And I'm telling you it was it was so nerve
- 2:48:25Speaker 1: wracking just do it because it was it's so out
- 2:48:27Speaker 1: of our element. You know, we played with a helmet
- 2:48:28Speaker 1: on and you're one of a team, but you know,
- 2:48:30Speaker 1: having a dance, we really had to embrace it.
- 2:48:32Speaker 5: Did a great job. I swear, like more people know
- 2:48:34Speaker 5: you from that than Yeah.
- 2:48:35Speaker 1: Well nowadays it used to be football. Now there's like
- 2:48:37Speaker 1: pitch perfect. I'll take it.
- 2:48:39Speaker 5: I'll tell you like Clay Clay Clay had gotten big,
- 2:48:42Speaker 5: you know, he was all especially in the NFL. But
- 2:48:44Speaker 5: when he did, I was like, damn, that guy looks big.
- 2:48:46Speaker 5: Like I was like, I can go and do some curls.
- 2:48:48Speaker 5: I was like doing curlsy and and cheeseburg.
- 2:48:49Speaker 4: When you want when you go into wardrobe, did you
- 2:48:51Speaker 4: make the decision to figure sleeves off?
- 2:48:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that was me. So they had me and it's
- 2:48:55Speaker 1: in fact, I got a lot.
- 2:48:58Speaker 5: Now question day.
- 2:49:00Speaker 4: That's nuts.
- 2:49:00Speaker 1: That's that's like June July, like like yeah, a couple
- 2:49:06Speaker 1: of push ups before absolutely. Yeah. So so I looked
- 2:49:09Speaker 1: at the script and they had me in there, and
- 2:49:11Speaker 1: I go, what if we what if we cut off
- 2:49:13Speaker 1: my sleeves and like, what if we can rip them off?
- 2:49:17Speaker 1: And I went and they were they were receptive to it.
- 2:49:19Speaker 1: So I I haven't cut it off and they had
- 2:49:21Speaker 1: little magnets on it and I was wearing a washer.
- 2:49:24Speaker 1: They had me take it off and we did a
- 2:49:25Speaker 1: couple of things, and they just they just they ripped
- 2:49:26Speaker 1: it off, and.
- 2:49:27Speaker 5: How many how many roles did you do before that was?
- 2:49:30Speaker 1: This is the end of the off season, so I
- 2:49:31Speaker 1: was peak. So I pulled my all.
- 2:49:36Speaker 4: The July body compared to the January body. Her hands gone, yeah,
- 2:49:42Speaker 4: this is brutal July.
- 2:49:43Speaker 1: That's all the thirst picks for my wife were in there. Now,
- 2:49:47Speaker 1: now I put a sleep with a shirt on.
- 2:49:49Speaker 4: You do you want to tell me your Delanney story?
