I'm Logan Pulsen here 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.319 with Fred Smoot and Santana Moss and Fred. We had 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.600 a big deal yesterday, big deal on Get Loud. Yeah 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.720 we did hear it was the loudest Get Loud of 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:38.240 all time. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.760 Well, first of all, anytime you invite Lenda Fletch and 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.800 they got this, they got this brotherhood, you know what 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.639 I'm saying, similar towels did they gonna ride. 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:47.520 For each other? So it was fun. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.280 It was one of the loudest Get Loud. We don't 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:50.560 be telling me. They got on you a lot, and 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:51.680 then on totally. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.160 They got on me, but you don't tell. I ain't 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.160 got no feelings so they can't hurt it. So fine. 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.920 I was gonna ask you, because you do seem very 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.200 competitive with Sean specifically, Yes, we Why is that. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.800 Because me and Shun just been it's kind of a 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:05.880 ying to my yang, you know what I'm saying. So 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.520 we just we always been like that. And Shun as 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.839 loud as I am. Shun is very chill when he talking, 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.840 when he's singing Zingers, So it's it works. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.679 It works because no. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.800 Matter how much trash I talked to him, it seemed 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:21.680 to never get to it. 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.840 Sean cuts Fred any different way. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:25.200 You've been around it. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.240 Yeah, I'm around her a lot. 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.039 So But the one thing I can say that we have, 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:34.040 or Fred can have over Sean if he ever use it, 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.480 it would be probably it will probably be detrimental to 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:37.640 Sean is. 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.040 The nuclear option. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.920 He ever uses. I always see him saving him. I'll 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:49.000 be like one thing he says, there's one thing that 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.560 would just kill all that all that pressure he brings 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.160 that Fred. 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.840 But you know, we'll keep that, We'll keep that off rerecorty. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.040 But it also I feel like this is so you 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.560 and Sean really hyper competitive. You see that on the 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.200 podcast scale out podcast. Definitely check it out. And then 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.400 it feels like it feels like Fletcher is kind of 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.000 like the big brother a little bit. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.360 He's the big brother that the live brother just just 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.120 keep trying to get him to fight you or something. Now, 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.399 you know what what people need to understand is I'm 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.560 on the one man mission to make sure this man 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:16.880 get to the Hall of Fame. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.160 This is my thing when. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.120 He says that. But like last night, you texted or 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.919 something about how fletcherul be in the Hall of Fame, 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.520 like you're in it, Like you're either one to do. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:25.280 It and I'm gonna do it. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.120 I'm gonna try to work with Kayla k and a 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.400 couple of people over here just to keep putting stuff 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.959 out there, because one thing about the Hall of Fame 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.919 is if they forget about you, and that new theme 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.359 pop up is now they push you to. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:35.960 The back burden. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.239 But as much as I give Flitch, I love Flitch 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.919 dud I do. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.079 But you know what I'm saying, I give him his 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:44.720 just due too. I appreciate him as a person. 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.320 So obviously that's a great show. And Tanny, you've you've 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.720 had a front row seat to all this this mess talking. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.359 You're me and you both I just sit there and 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.120 that is crazy. Sometime I might throw a couple of 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:54.760 nuggets in there. 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.840 But you know, it's crazy because I don't get we 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.359 don't have we didn't have too many care just in 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.120 the offensive room. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.799 I think the offensive room have to be a little 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:03.400 more doubt in. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.720 Yeah, I can just imagine what y'all doing over the 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.720 defense room is just full of of think about us. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.119 We're looking at how can we move this ball? They're 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.160 looking at We just gonna react. 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.760 No, No, we scrolls like that like that story you know 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.560 we were talking about. We had a group text where 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.600 like you it was like you missing a tackle on 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.320 Brandon Jacobs said something like that. But the met the 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.239 story you told about the meeting afterwards was hilarious. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.600 Yes, because this is what we like. The one thing 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.919 about the defensive mean room. The worst day is the 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.680 day after, you know, the day after you watch the field. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:36.160 It's tough. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.840 I could have had five picks. They ain't gonna even 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.520 They're gonna fan forward it right right to when I'm 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.600 getting rand over by brand and Smooth. What happened right. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.560 Here when I tried to go in with them show 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.480 but he took it with it for like six yor 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:49.080 french Wood. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.720 Was you but see, that's one that's one part of it. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.160 I think what amuses me the most is the conversations 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:02.320 on the field before things playing out there, like Fred. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.000 It seemed to me Fred was always warning them when 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:05.840 something was to go. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.240 Yeah, what he said, Sean. He was like, hey, Sean, 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:14.920 like someone's about to die. No. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.719 It was the first play of the game. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.440 We're going against the giants, and I just looked at 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.680 they huddled because you know, we hud up.

Kind of showing 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.040 he's locked in. Kind of feels a little bit more 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.439 urgent than it did last year. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:18.640 Was it doing the glitch? 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.960 Oh, I mean. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.800 I was traveling doing the glitch and I had to 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.120 figure it out too, did you. 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:26.560 I was in Chicago. 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.280 First thing I did when they said, hey, flight's gonna 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.600 be uh changed, I was like, guess what, go get 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:32.040 the rental. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.880 I got your wheels. I drove back. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.000 You drove back from Chicago? What is it like thirteen hours? 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.320 No, it was like nine hours. It was such a 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.680 good Yeah, it was such a good ride. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.760 Got to watch the Great Lakes on on the lift 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.000 the whole way through uh Indiana, Ohio. You know, I 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.839 like the soaky in thing. It was great, man, No, 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.520 probably for Darien was probably right behind me. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.960 And I know, yeah, you know I flew during the 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.800 glitch too, Yeah, and I was all worried. I was like, oh, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.280 I'm gonna have to get to lay. I was in Buffalo. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:00.680 I want to be in Buffalo. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:02.600 Cases to Buffalo. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.640 I was doing I was doing. I was doing work 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.920 up there. But so I went up there and I 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.360 came to the airport there like your flights on time, 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:09.840 and I was like great. So I went to the gate. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.720 Every screen is dead, completely black, and I was like, 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.440 probably not leaving from this place. And as a dude 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.040 there just some ran I thought it was a janitor 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.720 Sansur He's like, oh, hey, you're checking in at gate 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.160 twenty six, which was like twenty gates down. Yeah, and 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.880 you're walking back. So we walked down. Yeah, there's a 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.360 guy there checking people in on our flight. We walked 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.360 back and I was like, this is totally well, you 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.520 know what I'm saying, like it's a disas, Yeah, disaster. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.720 But anyway, So I think one of the things about 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.439 Big Phil doing that it shows like again maybe a 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.000 little bit more urgency from him, you know what I'm saying, 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.480 Like he's in it. Yeah, right exactly, And I think 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.120 that that's super important, right, is to get guys where 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.480 it means something more than it has the last couple 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:48.760 of times. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.800 Many means necessarey, Like that's what a team means. How 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.319 we gonna beat this next team by any means necessarey 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:57.400 as we feel. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.400 C You know what, flight, no problem. I'll get a 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:00.839 horse and ride to d C. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:02.840 Could you imagine he came on a horse, big fill 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:03.640 on a horse at poor. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.040 Horse, poor hoyse. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.880 Look, you also have to think about it too, when 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.560 when things on the line down the road and maybe 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.880 you have to pick from a guy and feel the 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.800 coach would think backstay this guy. But yeah, yeah, make 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.440 it a practice to make sure he was here. So 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.080 you know, stuff like that always counts. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.920 Yeah, absolutely. And I had a story my rookie year 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.480 was for training camp. Excuse me, and you know, like 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.840 I came went to the airport. I'm flying from California, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.360 flying from Lax. Went into the airport. The flight got delayed. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.560 My parents were out of town for whatever reason. So 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.280 I called my girlfriend. I said, hey, can you come 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:36.520 pick me up the airport? So I stayed all day 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.360 at our house. My flight didn't leave till ten o'clock 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.319 that night, So got on the plane, took the Red Eye, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.800 tried to sleep on the plane, literally took a cab 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.160 from the airport to the door, got out of the cab, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.280 walked directly into the meeting with my suitcases to be 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.400 on time, and like spent the whole day, you know 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.000 what I'm saying, Like tire and all. But like and 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.719 I it was funny because we were in a room 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.200 with a bunch of older tight ends and they were like, oh, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.800 I thought you were like a veteran coming in back 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.079 back last minute, and I was like, nope, just had 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.240 to take the read out to get back but it 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.400 is important because, like you get shows that you are 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.640 locked and you want to be on time. So the 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.240 other thing that I think is interesting, in addition to 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.800 stories like that, you know, is the fact that they're 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.880 saying in a team hotel, Yeah, in the years past 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.240 when they've had camp here, they've been able to go 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.920 home at night, And a lot of people say, oh, 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:18.760 that's not a big deal. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:19.760 It's a big deal. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:20.760 How do you guys feel about that? 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.560 I think it's great that you hear that now, and 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.960 just knowing that, I remember at one point I got 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.319 to the point where I felt like I was a 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.680 little long in the tooth and. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.240 I can slip in my bed. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.440 I don't need necessarily have to be around these guys, 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.520 but it means a lot. Yeah, even if a lot 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.080 of these guys that's in the building or out here 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.160 on the field, they're not going to be here. That 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.800 time to bond is the only time you have because 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.360 once things do, you know, you know, get real, you're 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:44.640 going to go back to that home, You're going to 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:45.920 have to deal with your family, and then you come 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.800 over here and see these guys, but for so many hours. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.440 So I think training camp is the best time to 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.679 kind of, you know, build that chemistry, have that bonding 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.400 with you guys. You know, sometimes certain teams give you 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.000 roommates just so you can get familiar with the person, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.880 you know what I mean. Team, And then I remember 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.080 when I was a jet they switched it up. He 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.319 wasn't always with the guys that we knew. It was 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.920 defensing offense in the same room, you know what I mean. 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.560 So get things a little, you know. I guess you 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.599 can say competitive in a sense because now you know 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.840 I'm sleeping with the enemy. I'm basically got a room 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.080 mate that I got to go out there and. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.000 He got hurt the next day, you know what I mean. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:18.880 So I think it's great. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.360 And when you hear that the last few years was different, 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.959 and make sure kind of you know, wonder why raise eyebrow? 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.839 Like maybe the words that come in to me when 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.560 I hear that is plugged in. The one thing I 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.200 do when I go home is unplugged right when I 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.480 walk through that door. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.720 It's this my space. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.440 Training camp ain't about my space, It's about our space. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.320 So if I'm going to the center over here at 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.560 the hotel, I'm still plugged in. I'm still and you 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.120 know me, I could be a buttterole sometimes I'm knocking 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.680 on people doors, waking them up and. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:56.440 Running like. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.080 These things all the time. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.000 Yeah, so anything might be a joke, but it's also 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.840 aw man, I remember when you did this? 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:06.600 It did it? Did? 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.480 It brings you closer that love hate relationship. You gotta 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.080 like they always say, you can only hate somebody if. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.559 You love them. You can't. You can't hate a scrange 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:16.000 it right. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.040 So the thing about it is when you spend this 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.800 time together, down time, uptime, practice time, you bunn together. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.400 And this thing that bothered me doing training camp because 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.840 I would bum with these guys in two weeks from 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:28.880 now it ain't even on a team. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.480 Yeah that's a good point. But I do think to 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.040 support both of what you guys said. I think the 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.680 way you said it, Fred is probably the best. It 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.960 just it locks you in. You're in the thing. So 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.440 like I, you know, I go back to my hotel 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.400 room at night and I'd study the plays and my 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.240 roommate would be in there and he's a tight end 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.760 two and we're we're talking through Yeah, what do we 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.440 have on this? So we got this? So what if 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.120 they play this front and just kept you around mentally 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.360 around ball a little bit longer. Now it's it sucks 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.200 because you're away from your family, a little bit of 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.760 mental grind. But I also think it starts this is 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.000 all this old school logan talking. It starts the when 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.720 you're in a trading camp away, when you're just kind 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.600 of at home. It doesn't don't feel real. It feels 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.400 like mini camp. And OT's a little bit yeah, and 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.560 I think it needs to be a little bit more 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.920 comprehensive than that. And then obviously, like you know, Tannel, 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.880 we went down to Richmond for a little bit. That 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.840 was totally that was totally different. But what did you 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:15.360 love about it? 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.720 The thing I love about just seeing something different and 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.200 then not knowing the history of you know, Washington. It's 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.600 so many fans down there, so many of those fans 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.000 that come from Carolina that you know, from the other 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.040 parts of you know, Va, to be down there and 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.160 just to see the support. It's one thing about saying 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.320 the city just treated us so well. The practice field 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.120 was like every day was like almost a game atmosphere. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.200 Like those fans came, they showed up and showed out. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.200 So I love that, And it was just something different 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.680 from me because you got to think about it. We 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.360 didn't start going to Richmond until twenty twelve or thirteen thirteen, 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.280 so that was my last year, you know, so to 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.520 have that to be going out the door, it was 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.520 something like a I guess you could say it actually 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.040 got me up for those last two years. 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.760 Get right to go to practice, the fans are there 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.200 and the whole thing. How about you, Fred? 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.720
