It's changed a little bit as far 19 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 2: as social media, the media, bets and things like that, 20 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 2: but still it's a big stage. It's the moment of 21 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: your life. How do you keep that in check? 22 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: So, you know, when we were there, it was so 23 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: different because we were a team of destiny. We went there. 24 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 3: We're going with a purpose. We're going to go get 25 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 3: our you know, Super Bowl rings. That was kind of 26 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: our mindset after we lost to the Dolphins on Monday night. 27 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 3: We're not going to be undefeated. Okay, We're going to 28 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: finish off the rest of the season and get our 29 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: Super Bowl rings. So we were pretty loose, you know, 30 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: going down into New Orleans and if you remember, you 31 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: know there there was a lot of uh uh. You know, 32 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 3: the media created a lot of anxiety because of McMahon 33 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 3: and some of the alleged things that he said on 34 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: the radio, and and his bruised buttocks and whether he 35 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: was going to be able to play. And then guys 36 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: wouldn't stand next to him in practice because he got 37 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: death threats and they were afraid that, you know, an 38 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: Aaron bullet if you sit next to him in practice. 39 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: The thing ray is that, you know, the week leading 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: up to the Super Bowl and being in New Orleans 41 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: was you know, when you say, what's your memories of 42 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl?

Everybody was pretty loose 45 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: and and I remember, you know, uh, some of my 46 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: my my running buddies. Then Mike tom Zach was my 47 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: my roommate on the road, and I was really good 48 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: friends with Tom Fair and and we had a we 49 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 3: had an actor friend, Adrians and met who's from Chicago, 50 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: and we all rented a limousine so that we could 51 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: go out and party, you know, that week and not 52 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: have to drive and not worry about it, and like 53 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: that one of my memories. And you can ask Tom 54 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: Fair this. And I don't even know how it came up, 55 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 3: but our limo driver's name was Bobby. And Bobby made 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: the mistake of telling us he had a penile implant 57 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: the whole week. Tars telling you better show us, Bobby 58 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: are going to beat the but Jesus out, you know, 59 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: those are the things you remember about the thing. And 60 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: then I would say, some of the other things that 61 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: were great about that week is I got to meet 62 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 3: a guy that was very influential in my life, a 63 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: great pal, great Chicago guy, Tom uh Tom Dreesen, and 64 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: and so Tom has been I call daddy O.

And we were still friends and talked, you know, 67 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: very frequently, and that sort of thing. And at the 68 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: time of the Super Bowl, I was dating an actress. 69 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 3: Do you remember Judy Landers? 70 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, wha wait, wait, hold on, hold on. 71 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: So so it was you and Judy Landers. 72 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: Yes, during the Super Bowl time. She was stacks on 73 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: a show called DJ and the Bear, and you know, 74 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 3: she got a lot of the roles that played kind 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: of the ditsy blonde. And you know, fortunately for her, 76 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: a lot of those acting roles didn't need her to 77 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: act to play the ditsy blonde. And she was hot, yeah, 78 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: very hot.
