Speaker 2: According to JD. Power, Chevy is the most awarded brand
Speaker 2: for new vehicle quality and Chevy Trucks has won more
Speaker 2: new Vehicle Quality awards than any other brand in the world.
Speaker 2: That's some serious hardware for the boys. But champions don't stop.
Speaker 2: Chevy doesn't stop. They keep moving forward. That's what the
Speaker 2: Boys do. From the LTAM model to the most extreme
Speaker 2: Silverado ever this yar too. Chevy gave the Silverado a
Speaker 2: new interior with larger infotainment screen and a digital instrument
Speaker 2: cluster that you guys will love and the family will

Speaker 2: They gave it towing technology for with up to fourteen
Speaker 2: available camera views. It's always truck season here bustle with
Speaker 2: the boys, and now it's also tailgate season.
Speaker 1: What better way to roll up to a tailgate? It's
Speaker 1: a nice.
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, Saturday morning for the college football fans out there.
Speaker 2: What better way to roll to a tailgate than in
Speaker 2: a new Chevy Silverado boasting a larger, more functional bed
Speaker 2: than any other competitor out there. Head over to Chevy
Speaker 2: dot com to learn more about the Chevy Silverado. And
Speaker 2: for those people out there that are really curious about
Speaker 2: that information and want to double check me in fact
Speaker 2: check me on the series hardware that Chevy's brought home,
Speaker 2: you can go to jdpower dot com Forward Slash Awards
Speaker 2: for that award information.
Speaker 1: Kind Of.
Speaker 2: I feel like I kind of bodied that at read
Speaker 2: right there, can we get a moment of sonce for
Speaker 2: that Ed Reid, all.
Speaker 1: Right, boys, can we bring some fucking juice to the bus.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of shit going on.
Speaker 2: There's there's there's super there's lows right now, and that
Speaker 2: low is.
Speaker 1: Did any of you guys expect us to lose the Northwestern?
Speaker 2: Be fucking real, JP, Did you think we were gonna
Speaker 2: lose Northwestern?
Speaker 4: I'll say this, I thought you guys were gonna win.
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't be surprised because Northwestern's quarterback transferred from
Speaker 4: South Carolina. He was against South Carolina, I had some
Speaker 4: injuries things. Lay's talented guy, so it says a lot
Speaker 4: about South Carolina's program.
Speaker 1: We let that guy go must mean we have something
Speaker 1: good cooking.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 2: There was there was no part of me. There was
Speaker 2: zero part of me. I was like, we're back. It's
Speaker 2: fucking that first drive with Casey Thompson in that offense,
Speaker 2: just piecing up that defense. We throw a bomb fucking
Speaker 2: Randy Mossel boy in the end zone. I was like,
Speaker 2: we are here, Like we're going all the way. We're
Speaker 2: fucking going eleven in one. Just like I said, I
Speaker 2: also said, if you wanted to lose any game, you
Speaker 2: wanted to be the first game of the season. So
Speaker 2: not to pull an insurance policy out, but there's a
Speaker 2: lot going on right now in the college football world.
Speaker 2: We are the talk of the town because we were
Speaker 2: like the only good game on on Saturday. And I
Speaker 2: do appreciate everybody who roots for other teams and they
Speaker 2: tune into the Nebraska Huskers just because they know. I
Speaker 2: have a very high level of emotional investment in the Huskers,
Speaker 2: because people hit me up like, hey, how you doing,
Speaker 2: Like that's a tough loss. What the fuck just happened?
Speaker 2: Like I knew you guys sucked, Like will your trash again?
Speaker 2: But there's no part of me that I thought we
Speaker 2: were gonna lose that game. But I am not the
Speaker 2: type to hit the fucking panic button. We don't hit
Speaker 2: the panic button. There's a couple things in that game
Speaker 2: that you get corrected, you get fixed, you take some accountability.
Speaker 2: We're like, we just got to regroup, beat the shit
Speaker 2: out of North Dakota.
Speaker 1: Everyone assumes that.
Speaker 2: I think that's always the shitty part about losing an
Speaker 2: opener like that to Northwestern. Now, hats off to Northwestern.
Speaker 2: They seem to be a dominant force in the Big Ten.
Speaker 2: We could be looking at the future Big Ten championship.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see them again down the road. I don't
Speaker 2: know if they're in the other division. I should probably
Speaker 2: know that. But let's not get it twisted. We have
Speaker 2: no clue if North Dakota is like them, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, And we might have just.
Speaker 1: Played ball with the future top five team. That time
Speaker 1: will tell.
Speaker 2: But as far as handling us and keeping it in
Speaker 2: house internally, you gotta watch the tape.
Speaker 1: You gotta understand that.
Speaker 2: Don't listen to the fucking noise, don't listen to the outside,
Speaker 2: don't read Will's Twitter, don't fucking read all the hater
Speaker 2: shit out there. We need to watch the tape. We
Speaker 2: need to understand that we sucked at tackling. We had
Speaker 2: bad eyes on defense. That's not the black shirt product.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be consistent carryover from what we had last year.
Speaker 2: The boys are gonna get right. I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 2: I think the offense. I think the offense played well.
Speaker 2: There's some drop balls out there. Now, you ask yourself
Speaker 2: six hour jet lag, we traveled across the pond in
Speaker 2: the foreign soil. Is there something that they're like, Yes,
Speaker 2: they went through it too. Northwestern. Those boys went through
Speaker 2: it too. They have boy better degrees than we do
Speaker 2: at Nebraska. They understand the science, they understand how to
Speaker 2: take care of themselves. I feel like a little bit
Speaker 2: better than the boys at Nebraska. So even though they
Speaker 2: both went with the six hour jet lag that could
Speaker 2: have played into it, all I'm saying is I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna hit the fucking panic button like everybody else screaming
Speaker 2: and losing their.
Speaker 1: Fucking mind right now, because that's what happens at Nebraska.
Speaker 2: We're about to win a Nattie fire that motherfucker frost
Speaker 2: before he gets on the plane within hours. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That's Nebraska, and I'm not gonna stir
Speaker 2: that pot. I'm not fucking doing it because I'm in
Speaker 2: the long run with the boys. You correct a few things,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna blame the refs. I'm gonna say something
Speaker 2: now it's blame the ref but I'm not gonna say
Speaker 2: that that's what the game was on. They fucked up
Speaker 2: that call. That fumble call. It should have never. It
Speaker 2: shouldn't have been a fumble. We should have had that ball.
Speaker 2: We were rolling all offense killed our momentum, and we
Speaker 2: would have been up twenty one.
Speaker 1: Ten going in the halftime.
Speaker 2: Now where I will say that, what the fuck moment
Speaker 2: of the game was that onside kick in the third
Speaker 2: quarter with nine minutes left. There's listen, we just gained
Speaker 2: a lot of momentum, we scored, we pick it off,
Speaker 2: we score again. We're fucking feeling ourselves that quick after
Speaker 2: the third quarter. We had an incredible halftime speech. I'm
Speaker 2: sure these boys can't fucking hang with us. There's too
Speaker 2: many white guys on the field. Let's drag them. And
Speaker 2: we took him to the deep end. And I don't
Speaker 2: know what the communication was. I appreciate Scott taking a
Speaker 2: lot of bullets at the presser saying it was his call.
Speaker 1: You can only imagine.
Speaker 2: Imagine it's either his call or the coordinator thinks he
Speaker 2: had a plan and he signed off on it. Yes,
Speaker 2: if you get that onside kick, of course we're all singing,
Speaker 2: Holly Luiah. What an incredible call. However, fuck man, we
Speaker 2: got all the momentum, we got everything. The boys are
Speaker 2: playing now. One game doesn't decide anything. Again, I'm here
Speaker 2: for the positive vibes. We're pro vibes. We're just this
Speaker 2: is the This is the overreaction Monday that we're at
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: This was you know, but.
Speaker 2: Small things are correct accountability, drag out, dragged the fuck
Speaker 2: out of North Dakota. The hard part is when you're
Speaker 2: in college and you lose a game like that. And
Speaker 2: I know I said that earlier, but here's the point
Speaker 2: I was getting at. You think the world's falling on you,
Speaker 2: and you want to hurry up and play a good
Speaker 2: team so you can get that bad taste out of
Speaker 2: your mouth because of who we play in North Dakota
Speaker 2: and Georgia Southern. Are those of the two teams? Yeah, those
Speaker 2: are the next two weeks. The next two weeks. If
Speaker 2: you're about that fucking life in the Nebraska locker room,
Speaker 2: which I'm sure they are, they're not gonna say stuff
Speaker 2: like this. They're gonna say, we respect the game, we
Speaker 2: gotta play everybody.
Speaker 1: True. That is true.
Speaker 2: However, we should, if we are who we think we are,
Speaker 2: we should dog walk the shit out of North Dakota
Speaker 2: Georgia Southern. That just is what it is until we
Speaker 2: get the Sooners at home on my Birthday weekend. But
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the game where it's like all right,
Speaker 2: here's what we get back.
Speaker 1: Right, Here's where we prove them that week zero is
Speaker 1: a fluke.
Speaker 2: By the way, week zero people do argue that that
Speaker 2: game doesn't fucking count because it's not really Week one. Again,
Speaker 2: no panic button pro vibes. We are bringing the juice
Speaker 2: to Nebraska this weekend. If you're in Lincoln or you're
Speaker 2: in Nebraska, the bus is gonna be in Lincoln on Friday,
Speaker 2: or we're gonna be We're gonna be stationed right where
Speaker 2: we were last year, right where they dropped the boys
Speaker 2: off at the Unity Walk in that little what do
Speaker 2: they call it, the little fucking section in campus, like
Speaker 2: a little quad area in campus in front of the Union,
Speaker 2: the boneyard. The bus is gonna be right there. We're
Speaker 2: gonna betail game. We're gonna be drinking some bruise. I
Speaker 2: don't know what the rules are there, so I don't
Speaker 2: want to say a whole lot. We're gonna be drinking
Speaker 2: a lot of fluid to hydrate ourselves. We're gonna have
Speaker 2: a great time. We were bringing the fucking energy to Nebraska.
Speaker 2: Join us, have fun with us. We're gonna be making content,
Speaker 2: having a great time. But you can catch to Nebraska
Speaker 2: this weekend. We'll be there, ready to go, ready, ready
Speaker 2: to get the boys back on track. I'm excited to
Speaker 2: dat the boys up, look him in the eye and
Speaker 2: say hey, buddy, let's fucking go. So that's all go.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long that was of at tangent
Speaker 2: on Nebraska. I wanted to keep it short for you guys.
Speaker 2: What do we have next? I'm flustered. I'm fucking.
Speaker 1: In.
Speaker 3: Recent news Brett Kern release and our boy Taylor, which, yeah,
Speaker 3: if you're a if you're a Titans fan, you know
Speaker 3: how important Brett Kerr has been to the organization. I mean,
Speaker 3: the longest tenured player that we've had active. He was
Speaker 3: the third longest tenured player in the Titans franchise history.
Speaker 1: So he's been on the Titans since he came into
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he started with Denver and he was there for
Speaker 3: like that because he was on the pod and go
Speaker 3: check out that pod. He held a riveting story. But
Speaker 3: he got cut from Denver after two seasons and then
Speaker 3: he got picked up by the Titans and has been
Speaker 3: with us for the last thirteen secs.
Speaker 2: So Brett Man, that's like this is a prime example
Speaker 2: like cut day is always tough. I've been literally in
Speaker 2: every corner of cut day where you feel good, you
Speaker 2: think your job's protected.
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, let's use him now.
Speaker 2: If finally preseasons over, thank god, let's focus on week one.
Speaker 1: I've been where I'm I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to call reporters, text reporters, try and text,
Speaker 2: like not exactly coaches, but maybe the assistants that would
Speaker 2: know a little bit more like, hey, what are they
Speaker 2: saying to where your nervouses all get out? Like you
Speaker 2: just laid it on the line. You might have some
Speaker 2: good you have some good tape, you have some bad tape.
Speaker 2: You think all the coaches are in there probably talking
Speaker 2: about your bad tape, and that's probably why you'll get cut.
Speaker 2: Wishing damn, I wish I had those plays back watching
Speaker 2: watching the tape yourself, like cussing yourself out, assuming the
Speaker 2: worst and the most and cut day always sucks. But
Speaker 2: speaking on Brett, that's tough for everybody in that building.
Speaker 2: Obviously Brett, he doesn't want to leave. He wants to do,
Speaker 2: you know, plain to the campag anymore. I'm sure with
Speaker 2: the Titans, like he's been here for thirteen years, Like
Speaker 2: you said, the most tenured Titan. Now it's the boy tailor,
Speaker 2: which that's a big responsibility. That's he's the only guy
Speaker 2: that's witnessed I think a losing season on the Titans
Speaker 2: roster now correct, But it sucks from every angle man
Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, Brett is a pro bowpunter,
Speaker 2: He's gonna get picked up right away, but you know
Speaker 2: what you're getting over the next year or two with him,
Speaker 2: however he finishes out his deal. However, there's a young
Speaker 2: kid who's got an absolute cannon for a leg that
Speaker 2: seems it seems like he has really good potential. It
Speaker 2: seems like the stuff he needs to work on, those
Speaker 2: can be developed with time with patients. And so as
Speaker 2: the GM and all the front office they sit there,
Speaker 2: it's the hardest decision to make cutting somebody that you
Speaker 2: love and you know is a good player, and you
Speaker 2: have to think five to ten years down the road
Speaker 2: versus this season, next season, and all that stuff. But
Speaker 2: everyone in the cafeteria loves him, the equipment room, the
Speaker 2: locker room loved him, The coaches loved him.
Speaker 1: Fuck the bus loves him.
Speaker 2: All the Titans Nation loves him like, that's just a
Speaker 2: hard business decision to make, making that phone call. Hey,
Speaker 2: can you coming and talk to me? And you sit there,
Speaker 2: you kind of all know what it is. You give
Speaker 2: a massive hug and it just sucks. Man, you gotta
Speaker 2: part ways, Like I understand the decision. It just sucks,
Speaker 2: which reminds me. And this is very well needs to happen.
Speaker 2: But can we have a moment of silence for Brett Curran,
Speaker 2: greatest punter ever put on a Titan uniform. Thanks, boys,
Speaker 2: I think better respect that because he probably listens.
Speaker 1: Taylor's not the longest in You're Titan? All right? So
Speaker 1: what else do we have?
Speaker 2: Nebraska trip this weekend we covered that shout out know
Speaker 2: if you shut out that it's coming along very well.
Speaker 1: House is Dragon updates? Are you boys caught up? Listen?
Speaker 2: If you're a fan of House of Dragon, you haven't
Speaker 2: watched it yet. Number one, that shows that you're not
Speaker 2: a tier one House to Dragon. It's all good, We're
Speaker 2: gonna talk about it, but you should catch up and
Speaker 2: watch House to Dragon.
Speaker 1: With all of the the.
Speaker 2: With all the opinions on how Game of Thrones ended,
Speaker 2: there was a lot of pressure for House of Dragon
Speaker 2: to deliver because Game of Thrones is arguably the greatest
Speaker 2: series to be created. Now, that's arguable. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of good ones out there we talked about on the
Speaker 2: last podcast, but with the generation that we're in now,
Speaker 2: to where everybody feels like a community tuning in on Sundays,
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones has everybody's heart, had everybody's heart, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of mixed emotions. Housa Dragon now needs to
Speaker 2: come in with a lot of pressure and expectation. I'm
Speaker 2: sure all the people in their front office have seen
Speaker 2: all the opinions and pissed off fans out there, but
Speaker 2: you gotta deliver. With that said, House of Dragon is
Speaker 2: fucking awesome. I think it's a hitter. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of chess being played right now, and is it we
Speaker 2: figure out? I always butcher names. I'm terrible with names.
Speaker 2: Rania Rania, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, We'll just go with that until someone corrects.
Speaker 1: Someone corrects this.
Speaker 2: But Rania, you see, she's got that young like Thundercat
Speaker 2: vibe in or she's that kid who understands she's getting
Speaker 2: disrespected in front of her parents and in front of people.
Speaker 1: That have status over her.
Speaker 2: She swallows her pride because she understands the game that's
Speaker 2: being played against her right now, and she goes with
Speaker 2: it because she knows where well, she knows where she's
Speaker 2: gonna get her calculated shots in. And that's I think
Speaker 2: that's a storyline I love the most. That would hit
Speaker 2: her big time is when her best friend or was
Speaker 2: it her cousin. I believe it's her cousin.
Speaker 1: I want to say they're related in some way either way,
Speaker 1: best friend too, definitely best friend.
Speaker 2: They're choosing Viseri's toll. He's gonna grow with her, and
Speaker 2: that was a moment that kind of took it away. However,
Speaker 2: I think there's such a focus on that moment because
Speaker 2: it's showing how Raniera feels threatened because now Dad can
Speaker 2: have an air with it's a boy, if it's a
Speaker 2: boy with her best friend, which is a threat to
Speaker 2: her being on the throne. Because Raniera's got the juice
Speaker 2: to be a queen like she's got it and she
Speaker 2: knows it.
Speaker 1: She knows if anything is.
Speaker 2: Against her, it's it's time because her dad needs to
Speaker 2: die for her to be the fucking queen.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I think it makes it interesting for how maybe she
Speaker 2: offs her old man, I have no clue. Now we're
Speaker 2: just guessing I didn't read the books.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I haven't done any of that going down loopholes and
Speaker 2: shit like that.
Speaker 1: But that's how I kind of see that going.
Speaker 2: And it's I'm a big fan of Rainier, Like that's
Speaker 2: the kind of one I want to see unfold. I
Speaker 2: think Damon he's a wild card. They're known for their
Speaker 2: incest in the family line. Maybe fucking Daimon and Ranier
Speaker 2: get after it a little bit.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, I fucking massive like rivalry.
Speaker 3: Right scene between them where Ranier disobeys her father's orders
Speaker 3: and then goes and just takes the dragon egg back.
Speaker 1: That shit.
Speaker 3: That was like the first moment we were like, all right,
Speaker 3: this chick scott balls Like she's not afraid to like
Speaker 3: step out of line, but she also keeps it like
Speaker 3: very respectful when she's like speaking to everyone all like
Speaker 3: the older counsel and like.
Speaker 1: Because she's playing she knows how to play the game.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the long come bro when she's sitting in that
Speaker 2: council room and she kind of said what she would
Speaker 2: do by with Dragonstone going there, they kind of like
Speaker 2: obviously belittled her and shit on her and made her
Speaker 2: try to be superior over she took it to the chin,
Speaker 2: and it's like, all right, we'll see how this unfolds.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ride my fucking dragon over there and let
Speaker 2: them know how this goes down.
Speaker 1: Because she she saved bloodshed.
Speaker 2: And she told the hand who kind of like, uh, sir,
Speaker 2: like let's be real, like, let's let the big dogs
Speaker 2: talk at the dinner table and she can go play
Speaker 2: in the kids room. And so she looks him in
Speaker 2: the eyes, swallows her pride, says, I'm saving bloodshed.
Speaker 1: Does her thing is respectable? Like you said?
Speaker 2: Jack walks off, goes flies home. Her dad realizes like, oh,
Speaker 2: she could be a fucking player. And I think that's
Speaker 2: why her dad picks her best friend, because I think
Speaker 2: he kind of knows that she's got that kind of juice.
Speaker 3: So you think she's almost trying to like delay the
Speaker 3: inevitable of her becoming the new era.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they both all kind of know, and
Speaker 2: they're all playing the most civilized game of chess without
Speaker 2: being emotional about it. Like she knows what game she
Speaker 2: needs to play, and I think her dad knows, like, oh, shit,
Speaker 2: like she's the real fucking deal. Like I wish she
Speaker 2: was a dude because we could just make that the
Speaker 2: air and I can live my life peacefully. But now
Speaker 2: I feel like I gotta protect my legacy and she
Speaker 2: might change it a little bit because she's challenging me
Speaker 2: in front of everybody else. It's a bad look on
Speaker 2: the old man. Now I need to figure out how
Speaker 2: I can get my power back. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: bang her best friend create an air, hoping it's a boy.
Speaker 2: That's That's what I'm kind of guessing.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I mean in a perfect world, he wishes
Speaker 3: he had a son to take the air, and he
Speaker 3: doesn't want his brother, and he doesn't want to be
Speaker 3: the first king to I like a woman and take
Speaker 3: the throne. So he's got a lot of hard decisions
Speaker 3: to face.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all polling for Ranera. I mean she's so
Speaker 3: she's a like she's doing.
Speaker 2: It so yeah. No, I think she's kind of the
Speaker 2: fan favor right now. I think where it gets interesting
Speaker 2: if her and the Damon thing plays out. But you
Speaker 2: never know, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that House of Dragon is the real deal,
Speaker 2: and I think they're doing a phenomenal job so far.
Speaker 2: So everybody who's on the fence about it, you should
Speaker 2: tune in. If you watch it and we just spoiled
Speaker 2: some shit, then you know you gotta get up to
Speaker 2: date because this pod is all about fucking House of Dragon.
Speaker 3: Just know when when we update on the beginning of
Speaker 3: the week. We're going to be covering House of Dragon
Speaker 3: every week moving forward to get this part.
Speaker 1: If you don't want any spoilers, yeah.
Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode to bring you Duke Cannon. I
Speaker 2: hope you guys are enjoying this episode. I hope you
Speaker 2: guys are enjoying the intro. This is going to be
Speaker 2: in the intro part right BLOSSI uh, Duke Cannon. Their
Speaker 2: deodorant is made for the boys to run hot. You
Speaker 2: see the boy right now, I'm pitting a little bit,
Speaker 2: and you know why because I came straight from the
Speaker 2: workout and didn't have a chance to put on that
Speaker 2: dry ice deodoran. Because dry ice not only cools you
Speaker 2: the entire day, but it also is what's the word
Speaker 2: I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: It's like resistant.
Speaker 2: It doesn't let the sweat come out and pour all
Speaker 2: over into your shirt like mine's doing under the right
Speaker 2: pit right now.
Speaker 1: Now, I want to put.
Speaker 2: The deodorant aside for a second because there's a product
Speaker 2: that I am becoming obsessed over and it is their
Speaker 2: coal mining face wash. The scent that they have on
Speaker 2: that soap lotion face wash is incredible. I'm washing my
Speaker 2: face three times a day and I'm not bullshitting you.
Speaker 1: That's no pause.
Speaker 2: I'm using that lotion on my face or face washed
Speaker 2: on my face three times a day because I absolutely
Speaker 2: love the call money. That is now my favorite product
Speaker 2: over the Sandalwood Colone. I'm still a big believer in
Speaker 2: the Sandalwood Colone. I like, I mean, Duke Cann's got
Speaker 2: a roster of products that I think you guys will enjoy.
Speaker 2: They're also fucking homegrown. They're not the corporate products that
Speaker 2: you see in all the aisles. They have like their
Speaker 2: little section, But Duke Can is like the small the grinders, dude.
Speaker 1: They work with the military. They're not for clowns.
Speaker 2: They have some subliminal messaging that's actually pretty funny and humorous,
Speaker 2: like on their product. But they're like the little guy
Speaker 2: who's like coming up. You know what, I mean, and
Speaker 2: they're using busting with the boys to promote their product.
Speaker 2: But that's why you guys need to go check them
Speaker 2: out at any target or on Duke Cannon dot com
Speaker 2: and use code busting for fifteen percent off your first order.
Speaker 2: That's Duke Cannon dot com. Use code busting for fifteen
Speaker 2: percent off. Back to the episode, did you see what's
Speaker 2: going on? You see I Am Athlete now speaking on
Speaker 2: the Pivot?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, was that where your tweet was about earlier? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to talk.
Speaker 3: About that because I was a little confused.
Speaker 1: I wasn't in What time are we have with the
Speaker 1: intro right now? Okay, yeah we can.
Speaker 2: Then we can do our shot out no free shot out,
Speaker 2: and then get get into this Aaron Rodgers podcast. So
Speaker 2: the Pivot is now coming out speaking on our I
Speaker 2: Am Athlete is now coming out speaking on the breakup
Speaker 2: with the Pivot all the guys, and you're kind of
Speaker 2: hearing it more from not only Brandon Marshall's perspective, but
Speaker 2: pac Man, Uh McCoy and who's the other guy that's
Speaker 2: on the show. I don't want to disrespect him by
Speaker 2: not knowing his name, but they're on they're on the
Speaker 2: pod with Joe buden because Joe Buddens went through a
Speaker 2: couple of big breakups and they're kind of talking through
Speaker 2: like the messiness of how personal friendship relationship gets involved
Speaker 2: with business, and you know, because Pivot has been very
Speaker 2: open about their breakup with I Am Athletes and Brandon
Speaker 2: hasn't said a whole lot now on this episode with
Speaker 2: I Am Athlete, which both great channels. They're they're both massive.
Speaker 2: We'd love to be fucking like those boys one day,
Speaker 2: I think we will be.
Speaker 1: I would love to be there.
Speaker 2: But they're kind of going back and forth and telling
Speaker 2: their side of the story, so I think it's all like,
Speaker 2: it's all super interesting stuff. There's things that I'm listening
Speaker 2: to to where I understand this, the stuff that.
Speaker 1: What do you what are you looking at? JP?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Nick Young, Brandon Jennings, they feeled it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're kind of I feel like they're in the middle
Speaker 2: of continuing to like figure it out because I didn't
Speaker 2: know Ocho Sinko left for Miam Athlete.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. But you're getting the perspective of.
Speaker 2: Brandon Marshall's side now, where it's just interesting to hear,
Speaker 2: you can see where there's lapses in communication along the way.
Speaker 2: You can see where maybe greed gets involved a little bit.
Speaker 2: You can understand the business piece on when they all
Speaker 2: wanted to buy in or just be paid his talent,
Speaker 2: and then after shows blowing up, they want to go
Speaker 2: back and actually talk about it again. And then the
Speaker 2: you know, the price went up because now it's blowing up.
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of that drama and dynamic and
Speaker 2: they get into the weeds about how that all unfolded.
Speaker 1: Because you can.
Speaker 2: Clearly see, like if you're somebody who follows, because I do,
Speaker 2: I follow the Pivot and I follow I am athlete.
Speaker 2: We've had the Pivot guys on here, big fans of
Speaker 2: big fans of the guys on the Pivot. I've always
Speaker 2: watched Brandon Marshall with I am Athlete from Afar. I
Speaker 2: think he has a good show too, But I've always
Speaker 2: been a fan like RC, you know, on CARCA. I
Speaker 2: played with him for a year in Washington, and then
Speaker 2: having Fred and Channing on the bus, like we obviously
Speaker 2: know their side and we love the shit that they do,
Speaker 2: but you just get that you get a different perspective
Speaker 2: because if you've been a listener on both shows, you
Speaker 2: very much see that they're in the middle, that they compete,
Speaker 2: Like you see it on their Instagram stories when they're like,
Speaker 2: you know, I am athlete, might say more than just
Speaker 2: a show, and then you might see the pivot do
Speaker 2: they're posting like you know, everybody has a podcast, but
Speaker 2: not everybody can pivot. Like they're all like they're competing
Speaker 2: whether or not they play the whole.
Speaker 1: We want everybody to.
Speaker 2: Win, Like I want to say, RC tweeted like, you know,
Speaker 2: no worries and no hard feelings. I'd want to talk
Speaker 2: about us to lions, don't concern themselves with opinions of sheep,
Speaker 2: and it's kind of like, okay, no hard feelings, no
Speaker 2: worries your sheep. So like you see the dynamic like
Speaker 2: they are. I feel like if you're anybody watching from Afar,
Speaker 2: they're very much in direct competition because there are times
Speaker 2: right here the pivots say stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm like, are they talking to me? Specifically? Busting with
Speaker 1: the boys.
Speaker 2: But if you're not caught up on any of their stuff,
Speaker 2: we had the Pivot guys on, you can well listen
Speaker 2: to that podcast where they talk about the breakup with
Speaker 2: I Am Athlete and now it's kind of fresh after
Speaker 2: the breakup too, And then I Am Athlete just came
Speaker 2: out with their episode with Joe butten where they get
Speaker 2: into the details and weeds a lot of like the
Speaker 2: whole business balancing personal professional trying to navigate all that,
Speaker 2: which is all good shit to learn, like Taylor and
Speaker 2: I are in the business together. And I tweeted what
Speaker 2: Jack's referencing is? I tweeted, is Busting with the Boys
Speaker 2: the only multi athlete show that has no like past drama?
Speaker 2: But anyway, you know we're gonna live on the internet
Speaker 2: have fun with it. Should get should we get in?
Speaker 1: Everybody?
Speaker 2: So the Aaron Rodgers podcast the reason we have a
Speaker 2: longer intro right now. We were time caffed on this
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers podcast again. We went to Green Bay. We
Speaker 2: did how many conversations that day? Four four conversations Lafleur
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers were one and two and we had
Speaker 2: to get those in before a team meeting. So my
Speaker 2: nerves were pretty high because I like to be prepared
Speaker 2: for all the episodes, and we were told that we
Speaker 2: only had like twenty minutes with Aaron Rodgers and the
Speaker 2: time slot. We had Lafleur on at nine in the morning.
Speaker 2: Lafleur shows up a little late accountability. We run over
Speaker 2: with Lafleur past ten o'clock when Aaron was supposed to
Speaker 2: come on. We were gonna have Aaron from ten am
Speaker 2: to ten twenty because they had a meeting at eleven.
Speaker 2: So when we're wrapping up with the Pasasha and Lafleur,
Speaker 2: I'm already like got anxiety. I've had nothing but caffeine,
Speaker 2: didn't eat, was fasting because of my fat ass eight
Speaker 2: too much of the night before, So I'm all which
Speaker 2: way sideways and trying to figure out if Aaron and
Speaker 2: Tanyan are showing up. Aaron comes on to like ten fifteen,
Speaker 2: ten twenty, and my man, the media guy in the back,
Speaker 2: we we.
Speaker 1: Stretched Aaron out as long as possible.
Speaker 2: We actually had him on for like thirty thirty eight minutes,
Speaker 2: I think, and the dudes in the back wave in
Speaker 2: his arm like you know, cut in where you know
Speaker 2: the boys are in the back kind of trying not
Speaker 2: to look or see him because we're in the middle
Speaker 2: of some conversation with the goat with Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 2: so I personally, it's one of those things where I
Speaker 2: checked the tape. There's questions I wish I would have
Speaker 2: thrown in there and would have been thinking about. But
Speaker 2: all in all, like it's a good episode. You get
Speaker 2: a you know, he talks a lot. I asked the
Speaker 2: most important question of all time, you know, as you
Speaker 2: guys will hear it, the very first question.
Speaker 1: Then we get into Lafleur in Masascia.
Speaker 2: Lafleur alludes to a play in Detroit that Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: had where he got MFT. He basically got sunned for
Speaker 2: the first time by Aaron Rodgers and realized like, oh,
Speaker 2: this dude has awareness of the most elite level I've
Speaker 2: ever seen. And Aaron kind of talks really good about
Speaker 2: the dynamic of his relationship with Lafleur where they had
Speaker 2: to kind of grow and meet id on a couple
Speaker 2: of things. And then we ask a fun like start
Speaker 2: bench cut a fun question at the end of the pot.
Speaker 2: But all in all, it was a good episode. I
Speaker 2: just wish fucking Joe Rogan cucking me and he does
Speaker 2: a three hour drop of Aaron Rodgers and we got
Speaker 2: our fucking thirty minute bottle of Aaron Rodgers. But uh, but.
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna enjoy it.

Speaker 2: Now we're gonna get into our shout out free shout
Speaker 2: out segment of the week, and then we're gonna roll
Speaker 2: right into the Aaron Rodgers episode bloss kick this thing off, brother, like,
Speaker 2: let's have some good vibes.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 6: My shout out this week wasn't something that I actually
Speaker 6: experienced personally, but it was the text messages that I
Speaker 6: got late last Was it Saturday? Is that the day
Speaker 6: that you were at the wedding? It's a text that
Speaker 6: I got late Saturday. I was just going about my
Speaker 6: night and I receive a text message from somebody I
Speaker 6: haven't heard in a little while. It was my buddy Damien,
Speaker 6: and he sends me a selfie with him and JP
Speaker 6: at the same wedding. And I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 6: I wonder how this wedding went for JP. Because anytime
Speaker 6: you're invited somewhere that you don't really know anybody, you
Speaker 6: don't know who's going to be there. Hell, you you
Speaker 6: really just don't even want to be there, and you
Speaker 6: meet somebody that you have a common interest with and
Speaker 6: that common interest either carries the night or you just
Speaker 6: build upon. That was the only thing that I was
Speaker 6: going through. My mind was like, man, that's awesome. So
Speaker 6: my shout out, no free shout out, goes to, you know,
Speaker 6: having a common interest with somebody at an unexpected event
Speaker 6: or an event that you don't even want to be at.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jackie boy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mine's gonna be short and sweet and right off
Speaker 3: the bat. You might think it's something that is not
Speaker 3: that like worthy of a shout out, but my shout out. Know,
Speaker 3: if your shout out goes to waking up with a
Speaker 3: fully charged phone, and I get it, we all should
Speaker 3: be waking up with a fully charged phone.
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty two. We have an outlet.
Speaker 3: But the way I'm gonna like spin this is when
Speaker 3: you wake up without a fully charged phone. That is
Speaker 3: when you're like, motherfucker, like kind of like your day's
Speaker 3: a little bit dependent, like the first hour or so.
Speaker 3: It's like if you gotta like run to the gym
Speaker 3: or like you got to like an early meeting, it's
Speaker 3: like you gotta scramble to get your phone charged up.
Speaker 3: So it's like it almost is like the next day,
Speaker 3: when you wake up in your phone, you like remember
Speaker 3: to plug it in and you get it, and you
Speaker 3: wake up you're.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. You're like, all right, we're back to normal,
Speaker 1: like something.
Speaker 3: You maybe take for granted. But when you're in a
Speaker 3: pinch and you got like four percent battery laughing, you
Speaker 3: wake up, it fucking sucks. So it's the little thing
Speaker 3: shout out to having a fully charged phone. I woke
Speaker 3: up this morning with one prease start to the Monday.
Speaker 2: I I see where you're going with that one. Like
Speaker 2: I understand you did a great job for those degenerates
Speaker 2: that don't plug their phone in every night, but I
Speaker 2: think you're just showing how irresponsible you can be at times.
Speaker 2: Maybe because if anything, like I get mad when I
Speaker 2: don't want my phone is in charge, I'm like, you
Speaker 2: dumb motherfucker.
Speaker 1: But I think, like it's just that should be second nature.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's what I explain too, Like right
Speaker 3: out the gate, I know something that shouldn't deserve a
Speaker 3: shout out, but it's when you don't have it, it
Speaker 3: makes you realize how important it is to have a
Speaker 3: fully charged phone. But you're right, if you don't have
Speaker 3: a fully charged phone at least ninety eight percent of
Speaker 3: every morning, you are a fucking degenerate. So we've all
Speaker 3: been there once or twice, but you know, one hundred
Speaker 3: percent action. I'm charging up right now. But you know,
Speaker 3: it's been a big day on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Say short and sweet had grabbed that microphone twice. Let
Speaker 2: me get that thing about hanging on I gotta say
Speaker 2: a little bit more. Yeah, yeah, JP sir a big dog.
Speaker 4: We were talking about this the other day and I
Speaker 4: was speaking negative. I was looking at the negative side
Speaker 4: of it. And so my shout out, no free shoutout
Speaker 4: goes to those cashiers and the equipment that when you
Speaker 4: after you pay for something, you don't have to fill
Speaker 4: out the tip thing when you just ask for something
Speaker 4: basic and they're like, oh, you know, here's your cup
Speaker 4: of water, and they flip that screen around and it
Speaker 4: says like fifteen twenty five thirty and everybody staring at you.
Speaker 1: She's staring at you like I'm not about to tip
Speaker 1: you for some water.
Speaker 4: So then that every now and then you get some
Speaker 4: people that like they don't even ask, they don't do it,
Speaker 4: and it's like, thank you because I'm not about to
Speaker 4: tip you for this water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: You get ready for that bat bee. That's definitely gonna
Speaker 2: be on the I think we all need to. I
Speaker 2: think that's something that such an epidemic like that needs
Speaker 2: to be a shout out every week, Like somebody different
Speaker 2: needs to talk about why they hate that. Right those
Speaker 2: motherfuckers like trying to get some of them just start
Speaker 2: at twenty two twenty four.
Speaker 1: Fuck man, what we're doing. All you do is grab
Speaker 1: me a.
Speaker 4: Donut, and you feel all the eyes in the store
Speaker 4: on you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that big ass scream flipped around talking about Hey,
Speaker 2: you're trying to.
Speaker 1: Cover your work like you're in school, right, Yeah, like shit,
Speaker 1: let me just hit custom. Yeah that custom up. But
Speaker 1: it's not even that you don't want to tip.
Speaker 2: It's just like you said, it's the bullshit, right, they're
Speaker 2: trying to get you on, like, yo, you legit just
Speaker 2: gave me a cup of water, like you legit, Just
Speaker 2: fucking like I just said, you grabbed the donut like
Speaker 2: out of the fucking thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck dumn it. That's a good one.
Speaker 2: That's a good what's the shout out when you don't
Speaker 2: have to do that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to the cashiers and the shout out
Speaker 4: to the cashiers that don't make you tip for a basic.
Speaker 2: Task and have the awareness to know, like I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna fucking mess up this person's stay by flipping the
Speaker 2: screen round exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what you should do. You need a number. One.
Speaker 2: You guys all need to be putting your shot outs
Speaker 2: on social media. Two you should do that shout out
Speaker 2: and just ride a long shout out and then do
Speaker 2: like a fucking long Yeah yeah.

Speaker 7: because the Titans have the lead by like, I'm not
Speaker 7: gonna do that math.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, don't do the math. Like, don't hear the number.
Speaker 7: One number bigger than the other, okay, because it's we're

Speaker 7: just ask for an updated number. But right now it

Speaker 2: my lists. I'm like, all right, which one do I
Speaker 2: want to go with today? Because I feel like I've
Speaker 2: been on quite the run?
Speaker 1: What is that? Am I not speaking facts right now?
Speaker 1: Am I not speaking facts?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: I've been in the roll of the shoutouts.
Speaker 2: Umm, I'm gonna do this because it happened to me
Speaker 2: today leaving my workout.
Speaker 1: You're ten.
Speaker 2: My shout out, no free shoutout goes to those people
Speaker 2: who understand that no matter what, you're turning left at
Speaker 2: the stoplight, that middle lane to where you're turning left
Speaker 2: and there's oncoming traffic and some people which will live
Speaker 2: on will be another topic for another day. I went
Speaker 2: off about this maybe with Shane Gillis with that episode,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to give them any burn. But
Speaker 2: where they don't go across that, they stay in that lane,
Speaker 2: they stay behind the line, and then when the light
Speaker 2: turns yellow and then ultimately red, they don't turn left
Speaker 2: even though they're blinkers on. My shout out goes to
Speaker 2: those people who understand the game. Understand the importance and
Speaker 2: urgency of putting yourself out there a little bit in
Speaker 2: the middle.
Speaker 1: You don't go straight out in the middle.
Speaker 2: There is oncoming traffic and you have no clue what
Speaker 2: people's coming from right and from the left, but you
Speaker 2: need to get your ass over that line to let
Speaker 2: the person behind you know, Hey, I'm about to get this.
Speaker 2: If there's enough time and you can get it too,
Speaker 2: you can come get in this party with me. But
Speaker 2: did those people go out there and whether it's a
Speaker 2: yellow light and you feel like somebody in the ongoing
Speaker 2: traffic speeding up to beat their green light, that's fine,
Speaker 2: to beat their yellow light, you still wait from them
Speaker 2: to go That motherfucker can turn red. And even when
Speaker 2: it turns red and those people continue to turn left,
Speaker 2: my shoutout goes to you guys, and you're probably driving
Speaker 2: a Chevy Soeverado because we know no other way than teamwork.
Speaker 2: And then to me, that's where the shadout comes in.

Speaker 2: I was like, you think if we got the bust
Speaker 2: of Green Bay, like you think the boy twelve would
Speaker 2: get on the bus.
Speaker 1: And he was like, I think, so made it happen.
Speaker 2: I really appreciate all this because this is this is
Speaker 2: a big move for Bust with the Boys.
Speaker 1: We did it. We did it, guys, We got we
Speaker 1: got them on my first question. Thank you.
Speaker 2: I apologize for continuing to interrupt. I've had a lot
Speaker 2: of coffee. I'm a little nervous too.
Speaker 1: Kind of you played most of the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that boy was shaken in as the biggest rival
Speaker 5: read the sport has ever seen.
Speaker 1: Will Compton Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 8: I supposed the other day too. By the way, a
Speaker 8: really good post.
Speaker 1: The one about I was wondering if you saw that.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: If you ever want to hit that user name and
Speaker 2: hit the follow button, that's up to you. You don't
Speaker 2: have to see what you're going you don't have to
Speaker 2: say what you're gonna do on here, because I don't
Speaker 2: want my feelings hurt very early.
Speaker 1: But I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: My first question, Twitter is the new MySpace? Why do
Speaker 1: you say that?
Speaker 8: I just thought about that the other day and I
Speaker 8: was like, I like that line. That's a good line.
Speaker 8: They had a chance to, you know, to be on top.
Speaker 8: And now I feel like Instagram came up and then
Speaker 8: all these kids are on TikTok.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: See, I think Twitter is still hasn't scratched the surface,
Speaker 2: but that ship.
Speaker 5: Shouldn't even be free to some of the ship the
Speaker 5: threads that go into Twitter, Like if you go dive
Speaker 5: deep into Twitter.
Speaker 1: It's the funniest app. You disagree, No, I think Twitter
Speaker 1: is the funniest app deep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but see again, we're like working on Aaron's humor too.
Speaker 5: He's got funnier. We're just getting funny.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're trying to get him funnier. Why do you
Speaker 2: don't think? Do you don't think?
Speaker 1: Do you don't think Twitter is the funniest ap out there? No?
Speaker 5: I don't What do you think is more funny? I
Speaker 5: think Instagram is funnier, like the memes but that's where
Speaker 5: they get their memes from Harmony.
Speaker 2: But bro, you wouldn't have never saw my clip and
Speaker 2: my caption had it not been on Twitter, and only
Speaker 2: something like that plays on Twitter, Like you're not gonna
Speaker 2: scroll and see my Instagram post. It can be like yeah,
Speaker 2: like look at a little bit, like look what will post.
Speaker 1: It on Instagram?
Speaker 2: Like you see Twitter go off, you kind of hit
Speaker 2: it because you want to see some of the comments
Speaker 2: and the funnies that follow it.
Speaker 8: But it's it's turning into the MySpace though it is okay,
Speaker 8: we can agree to disagree.
Speaker 1: What's fair.
Speaker 8: You still think Facebook is still rocking it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I think Facebook is awful.
Speaker 5: It's for fifty year old six year old women who's
Speaker 5: still checking on like twenty thirty year old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like people who comment, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of those type of confident pah.
Speaker 2: Comment a lot on like errands like whether it's game
Speaker 2: stuff off the field, Like those are people who live
Speaker 2: on Facebook?
Speaker 1: Really? I think so? Yeah, more of like the white
Speaker 1: collar like the older people, the older.
Speaker 5: Jen Midwest, yeah, Midwest lukes collar, gritty folks, whatever are
Speaker 5: they on.
Speaker 1: They're all busting with the boys right here. That's what
Speaker 1: there is this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my first question, man, a little warm is uh,
Speaker 2: it is a little warm, it's little toasty?
Speaker 1: Is I watching the Key to Success?
Speaker 8: Good question? Man, Are you asking a serious quest? Do
Speaker 8: you want a serious response?
Speaker 1: It's like I like that fun.
Speaker 2: Like I'm sitting here because I listen to your podcast
Speaker 2: with Aubert Marcus by the way. I thought it was
Speaker 2: phenomenal taking a deep dive into you. You're very like
Speaker 2: open and transparent, like the whole controlling the narrative thing
Speaker 2: like juices me up because that's why I love doing
Speaker 2: this shit, because people talk freely and kind of it's the.
Speaker 1: People behind the helmet, and you get to know them more.
Speaker 2: Had you not really all you see them as is
Speaker 2: what articles are written on them out there and everybody
Speaker 2: else commenting, We don't say enough because we want to
Speaker 2: keep our helmet on and appease everybody inside the building
Speaker 2: because it's not about us. But I really appreciated that episode.
Speaker 2: I asked that in fun, the serious part. You can
Speaker 2: go listen to that episode because you obviously talk openly
Speaker 2: about your trips, your fucking all, your little rides that
Speaker 2: seem very interesting. You're you're getting emotional. I'm getting emotional
Speaker 2: listening to it, and I'm wondering, if I get on
Speaker 2: this ride, am I gonna have your ten? Am I
Speaker 2: gonna put together? They're back to back MVP seasons because
Speaker 2: that's what the narrative is getting painted as. Now that
Speaker 2: ahuasca is the reason you've won back to back.
Speaker 8: MVPs, they're going to run with whatever narrative they want.
Speaker 8: I think there's a lot to unpack in that question
Speaker 8: based on some of the things that I have seen
Speaker 8: about it. But look, it's my experience. I speak for myself,
Speaker 8: and I had a fantastic experience both times. The first
Speaker 8: time I did in Peru in the second time down
Speaker 8: in Central America. Very thankful for the lessons that I
Speaker 8: learned on that. But classic this culture, you know, if
Speaker 8: you can't monetize it, then they're going to demonize it.
Speaker 8: And ayahuasca. I've seen some crazy headlines about, you know,
Speaker 8: psychedelic drug. Right, it's a plant number one. It's just
Speaker 8: a plant too. It's been used for generation after generation
Speaker 8: after generation in sense in South America, and so as
Speaker 8: far as research goes, yeah, there's thousands of years of
Speaker 8: research around using this plant in medicinal ceremony, and there's
Speaker 8: a lot of benefits to it. For me, it was
Speaker 8: like I talked about, you can go listen to the podcast,
Speaker 8: but it was two really deeply meaningful experiences. But you know,
Speaker 8: if you're not into it, that's fine, But projecting your
Speaker 8: own opinion onto something without understanding what it is doesn't
Speaker 8: advance any conversation further. And there's a lot of research
Speaker 8: around a number of different things labeled as drugs, like psilocybin,
Speaker 8: which is mushrooms which is a fun guy, and the
Speaker 8: demonization of marijuana that's gone back to you know, the
Speaker 8: eighteen hundreds really and hemp and the war against hemp.
Speaker 8: There's a great book about that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: I think that's what people who want to monitorze as
Speaker 8: health have done to many things that are plants that
Speaker 8: actually have incredible healing. Probably looking at the Chinese, they've
Speaker 8: been using herbs for thousands and thousands of years. And
Speaker 8: I'm rambling now, but the point is there are like
Speaker 8: real substances plants, you know, herbs uh fung guy, that
Speaker 8: have been healing people for a long time. And then
Speaker 8: there's pharmaceutical stuff, which some is very you know, important
Speaker 8: and it helps people with certain specific causes, but there's
Speaker 8: also an industrial complex that really wants to make money
Speaker 8: off of health.
Speaker 5: So when you We've talked about this, but I'm just
Speaker 5: kind of asking questions, are you co host?
Speaker 1: And then yeah, that's good. He's fired up. I know
Speaker 1: he's he's your game ready right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I'm just kind of asking questions for Will
Speaker 5: to kind of hear it out because we've we've talked
Speaker 5: about your trips and experiences and uh, your visits to
Speaker 5: these countries. But for like him who doesn't know, like
Speaker 5: what goes about that? Like when you drink it? And
Speaker 5: like how long is the experience?
Speaker 1: What do you do?
Speaker 5: What is the I don't want to say vibe because
Speaker 5: it's obviously more important than like intent.
Speaker 1: Yeah about the vibes on this, Buz brother, Yeah, appreciate that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've dispelled again. I talk a lot about this
Speaker 8: in the podcast. The short version is, ah, it's in
Speaker 8: some sort of you know, ceremonial environment, so some you
Speaker 8: know urate or a tent or melca.
Speaker 1: Like in the like in a jungle or like in
Speaker 1: the forest.
Speaker 8: In Central America. We're in a jungle. There was you know,
Speaker 8: a week long thing. There was twenty two people on
Speaker 8: the trip. There was you know, eight facilitators at the
Speaker 8: at the the center, the shaman you know obviously comes
Speaker 8: in and there's a specific diet that you eat. There's
Speaker 8: three nights of sitting with the medicine and then a
Speaker 8: day off in between where it's integration. There's conversation around
Speaker 8: your experience, but even way before that, there's you know,
Speaker 8: talks about your fears around it, the expectations of it.
Speaker 8: So you feel really really confident that you go into
Speaker 8: it with like the mindset of what you're trying.
Speaker 5: To get out of it totally. Yeah, So it's not
Speaker 5: just like you're just thrown into it. Oh no, no, No,
Speaker 5: it's very intentional. So you go in with an intention,
Speaker 5: you know, something you want to work through or you're
Speaker 5: open to.
Speaker 1: At the end, hard is it to get to that intention?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm obviously listening to you, and there's there's like
Speaker 2: stuff that you're having to like live in the scarring
Speaker 2: of it to like you know, the whole self love
Speaker 2: thing that you talk about as well, like being intentional
Speaker 2: and trying to have the right mindset going into Like me,
Speaker 2: I think about it, I'm like, man, I probably have,
Speaker 2: like you get to like an anxiety state like is
Speaker 2: this the rabbit hole I want to go down? And
Speaker 2: is this the right decision? Like how do you get
Speaker 2: to be intentional?
Speaker 8: Well, then it's not this that time, you know, for you,
Speaker 8: it's not time. I think when you're the you know,
Speaker 8: things will come into alignment, you know, and the opportunity
Speaker 8: to present itself. But the key for me is the surrender.
Speaker 8: So surrendering to the intelligence of the plant or the
Speaker 8: intelligence of yourself if you want to look at it,
Speaker 8: to go on the journey to learn the lessons that
Speaker 8: need to be learned. Because when you're resistant, and it's
Speaker 8: just really anything in life, when you're resistant to things,
Speaker 8: obviously that water can't flow, that action can happen. And
Speaker 8: when you are in a ceremonial space and drink ayahuasca,
Speaker 8: it's a very calm environment. It's it's dimly lit drink.
Speaker 8: There's mapacho being smoked, which is the sacred tobacco which
Speaker 8: the Shamans believe helps keep protection over the space. He's
Speaker 8: singing ekroes, which are very like generationally passed down songs
Speaker 8: to aid in the the medicinal journey. And then there's
Speaker 8: multiple facilitators around who have sat with plants for you know,
Speaker 8: much of their life, who can help if things get squarely.
Speaker 8: But you know, there's a there's a bucket if you
Speaker 8: need to purge or throw up, and there's bathrooms if
Speaker 8: you need to go to the bathroom. And other than that,
Speaker 8: it's usually you laying on your mat having a deep
Speaker 8: and meaningful experience.
Speaker 5: Are you with like other people? There's twenty two other people,
Speaker 5: so but they but they put you all in the
Speaker 5: same area.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you're in your own right, You're in your
Speaker 8: own world that problems that we might be Will and
Speaker 8: I might be, you know, in mass next to each other,
Speaker 8: but I'm in my own experience and he's definitely as.
Speaker 1: Will is definitely would be in his own experience shitting myself.
Speaker 1: There's no question whatever is happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all I would urge what I want to
Speaker 2: ask because I listen to that and I think, like,
Speaker 2: all right, you do you do something like that and
Speaker 2: then you.
Speaker 1: Have whether it's the rest of the off.
Speaker 2: Season or you get into the season, what how do
Speaker 2: you balance coming out of that and continue to be
Speaker 2: intentional with like living in that clarity or like living
Speaker 2: and protecting your mental from getting outside of yourself, Like
Speaker 2: how do you stay intentional? Like what's like a routine
Speaker 2: you might stick to, or like books, or how do
Speaker 2: you go about doing that?
Speaker 8: Yeah, all that stuff. I think it's you know, is
Speaker 8: we're creatures of habit. So the routine during the off season,
Speaker 8: it's so nice to not have the routine, to be
Speaker 8: able to make your schedule and what you want to do,
Speaker 8: and you have your workouts in the mornings usually and stuff.
Speaker 8: But when you get back, I think one of the
Speaker 8: things that we all love and appreciate is that routine
Speaker 8: that kind of keeps us focused on the here and now.
Speaker 8: But inside of that, we can't get locked into the
Speaker 8: same routine all the time. It takes three weeks to
Speaker 8: build a habit, and once it's built, it can stick
Speaker 8: with you. But it's keeping your mind focus on what
Speaker 8: you want to actually have your days look like. And
Speaker 8: for me, there has to be some sort of meditation,
Speaker 8: has to be some sort of quiet period, especially when
Speaker 8: I get back from work where I can just like
Speaker 8: decompress because work is loud and there's a lot of
Speaker 8: stuff that we're asked to do.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: Some more than others. Depend on your position, your age,
Speaker 8: your importance to certain parts of the aspects of the
Speaker 8: chemistry of the team. And I think it's important to
Speaker 8: keep that balance when you get home, make having a
Speaker 8: space that's kind of just yours and having the time
Speaker 8: to be quiet and you know, and to Decompress's important
Speaker 8: for me to to kind of mentally stay sharp.
Speaker 1: I got another question. I'm just trying not to, you know,
Speaker 1: keep going to be on your co hosting game.
Speaker 2: So we pivoting going into uh like talking a little
Speaker 2: bit about ball and everything else. We just had on
Speaker 2: Lafleur and Bissacia number one. I would love to ask,
Speaker 2: like your thoughts on Bisacia coming into the team.
Speaker 1: I've played for him for a couple of years. I
Speaker 1: think he's fucking.
Speaker 2: And we needed like some of the best speeches you'll
Speaker 2: ever hear in your life, because they're like genuine, like
Speaker 2: he's authentic, Like, hey, what do you think of Masaccia?
Speaker 8: The best part is I get I like him. I
Speaker 8: definitely like him. I got back and he was like, hey,
Speaker 8: many didn't respond to my text. I was like, what
Speaker 8: do you mean. He's like, oh, I sent you you
Speaker 8: know that picture? Do you not get it and like,
Speaker 8: I'm not the Bob Nos Sorry Bob, but I'm not
Speaker 8: the best Texter. And I was like, ah, man, I
Speaker 8: must not have seen it. Anyway, he shows me Like
Speaker 8: then he sent me to a number like three numbers ago.
Speaker 8: I don't know where he got that number, but it
Speaker 8: was like I haven't had that number since like twenty,
Speaker 8: you know, twelve or something, and it's like him, I'm like,
Speaker 8: the best part of us is you sent this fucking
Speaker 8: picture to some random number. And not only that, but
Speaker 8: you sent to two numbers that I haven't had him
Speaker 8: ten years, so you know, numbers get recycled by super genuine.
Speaker 8: It's like, you know, like three people at the Raider
Speaker 8: shirt like looking all like mean mugged at the camera.
Speaker 2: It's like Rich, what wait was he in his wh
Speaker 2: white beater It was with the Raider's beanie on what
Speaker 2: was Yes, I.
Speaker 8: Just hilarious, Rich Peter Raiders say, like, the best part
Speaker 8: you sent that to some random person.
Speaker 1: You didn't text him back about that because he thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna make you laugh.
Speaker 8: But then since I got in my real number, he's
Speaker 8: text me non stop that I don't know if I
Speaker 8: should have just said, oh yeah, man, great picture. Thanks,
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh. No, I like rich though. We need
Speaker 8: an attitude change on teams.
Speaker 5: So it's just mindset, just like young guys coming in
Speaker 5: who don't like get it, like were you like we
Speaker 5: get it undrafted.
Speaker 1: You have to get it, bro, you get it.
Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta play special teams that just make
Speaker 5: the team just to get in.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know, I don't play teams. No. I held
Speaker 1: a few times since Yeah, it's not the same.
Speaker 5: And just kind of bringing that culture and like acceptance
Speaker 5: of like you know, like that's like it's okay. There's
Speaker 5: no like pride in like being on especial teams, Like
Speaker 5: there's no like loss of pride, like that's how you
Speaker 5: get there. And him being so straightforward and like black
Speaker 5: and white about it is like the best thing for
Speaker 5: this team. It's kind of like creating like men when
Speaker 5: they walk in the door, like to just like and
Speaker 5: he teaches football as a whole, like skill as a whole.
Speaker 5: He doesn't just teach like special teams drills or like
Speaker 5: football drills like fundamental drills that like you just don't
Speaker 5: get when you get to the league.
Speaker 2: With going off with Pisascia playing with h Lafleur coming
Speaker 2: in a few years ago.
Speaker 1: How's it been like you guys sharing ideas, pitballing back
Speaker 1: and forth.
Speaker 2: There's obviously always the vibe out there of like your guys,
Speaker 2: like you guys are both the head coaches of the team,
Speaker 2: like talk about coach La a little bit.
Speaker 1: I know, you got to be aware of it. He was.
Speaker 2: Actually he was on here and he told a really
Speaker 2: cool short because I was like, Yo, like coaching twelve,
Speaker 2: Like you've been around a lot of quarterbacks throughout your career,
Speaker 2: Like what makes twelve different?
Speaker 1: He brought up, Actually it was both of you guys.
Speaker 2: He brought up a play from Detroit where you guys
Speaker 2: are literally talking right before as the play clock's winding
Speaker 2: down and he's in his mind thinks like he's not
Speaker 2: going to get this ball if he has no clue
Speaker 2: that it's going down, and it was about to hit zero.
Speaker 2: He calls the time out and he was like there
Speaker 2: was zero coming. Him and Rob are talking back and forth.
Speaker 2: I called time out before the clock hit zero, and
Speaker 2: Aaron just goes like he's like Aaron comes over and
Speaker 2: just gets met like God damn it. Matt and he's
Speaker 2: like it was a learning lesson for him because of
Speaker 2: how aware he is about so many situations, like talk
Speaker 2: a little bit about your head coach, belfloor.
Speaker 8: Under that that picture you're just painted.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, sometimes you know, I'm learning. I'm learning
Speaker 1: as I I get better each time I get on here.
Speaker 8: There's been a lot of disinformation and misinformation about uh,
Speaker 8: you know that was put out right away with Matt.
Speaker 8: We're not gonna be able to work together. I'm not coachable,
Speaker 8: you know, all this bullshit. We basically turned all that
Speaker 8: on its head pretty quick. You know, I respect the
Speaker 8: guy who works his ass off, and Matt has an
Speaker 8: incredible work ethic. He really does. I mean, he is
Speaker 8: a grinder and he cares about it. And the biggest
Speaker 8: dance we had to figure out was pairing his knowledge
Speaker 8: of scheme with my knowledge of experience, you know, on
Speaker 8: the field. And obviously he's called games, you know, he
Speaker 8: was coordinator and Tennessee. But but I think after the
Speaker 8: first year, in the off season, we really paired those
Speaker 8: things up and we whittled down the offense, took out
Speaker 8: stuff that we never ran or that didn't work, kind
Speaker 8: of put a couple of things back in that have
Speaker 8: worked in the past, and it changed a lot of
Speaker 8: things I think for our offense and changed how him
Speaker 8: and I interacted. The trust was there, and I stopped
Speaker 8: feeling like, you know, I was a game manager and
Speaker 8: he I felt like we took the reins off of
Speaker 8: the blinders out of the offense and kind of let
Speaker 8: us run free and and had a couple of really
Speaker 8: good years of offensive football.
Speaker 1: But I think I love about Matt is it.
Speaker 8: He's he does have a growth mindset and when he
Speaker 8: came in the way he's talked to the team in meetings,
Speaker 8: the way you interact with the guys. He's still corny
Speaker 8: and has got his jokes and we find him for
Speaker 8: bad jokes. But but uh, the worst jokes. But the worst, Yeah,
Speaker 8: the worst. But he's really he tries. Here's a no,
Speaker 8: he tries so hard and you love that. And he
Speaker 8: fucking grinds too. Yeah, I mean, so how do you
Speaker 8: not respect that the dude fucking grinds. You've come in,
Speaker 8: he's got five or six, like really fucking good plays
Speaker 8: during the week and you're like, all right, awesome, thank
Speaker 8: you for grinding so much. Also, you're getting skinny, fat
Speaker 8: so just check yourself.
Speaker 1: Mat.
Speaker 5: But no one has to pay attention to skinny fat
Speaker 5: when you got eyebrows like that.
Speaker 2: And teeth is white, like obviously I don't have the
Speaker 2: ears like immediately I saw you look down like he
Speaker 2: has very white teeth. Naturally, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like he's got his eyebrows, he's goutys white teeth. It's
Speaker 2: hard to look down and understand.
Speaker 1: You asked him, who does his eyebrows? No, I didn't.
Speaker 5: I'm just curious. Great great belly button too, he's got
Speaker 5: a good belly button. No, he is like somebody who
Speaker 5: he understands.
Speaker 2: He has like the awareness of his corniness and he
Speaker 2: knows like he's like, I don't want to try and
Speaker 2: be somebody I'm not. And I think he really respects
Speaker 2: that this locker room is player led and like he uh,
Speaker 2: he used an example of a Campbell bringing it up
Speaker 2: and telling these guys are gonna have a reality reality check,
Speaker 2: like this practice is hard now because you guys like
Speaker 2: the Vets are the established guys aren't going to be
Speaker 2: playing a lot in this first game, right, and this
Speaker 2: is good for you because you guys are gonna have
Speaker 2: a real reality check in the game and he stands
Speaker 2: there and he says, when you sit back and hear
Speaker 2: guys say stuff like that, it just it takes it
Speaker 2: takes like an expectation off because he's like, I can
Speaker 2: say it as much as I want, Yeah, but it
Speaker 2: comes from a place of all, we're trying to work
Speaker 2: you guys as hard as possible.
Speaker 5: And but like conversations that I've had with him, it's
Speaker 5: like for him at the beginning, it was he didn't
Speaker 5: feel like he was doing enough when he was letting
Speaker 5: those players lead, more like letting twelve like.
Speaker 1: Two minute, I feel like I was. That was coming
Speaker 1: out of my mouth.
Speaker 5: That was coming out of my mouth, I said with
Speaker 5: Aaron with two minute was like, and we talked about
Speaker 5: on the podcast. It's just like Aaron barely knows what
Speaker 5: the next play call is going to be. Obviously, Matt's
Speaker 5: not gonna know my secrets. By the way, that's not
Speaker 5: secrets at all. That's true, that open ended thought process.
Speaker 2: Ever, and like no one knows the secret because there
Speaker 2: is no secret. Nobody knows what's going to happen next.
Speaker 1: Right, only you know the secret? You never know, You
Speaker 1: never know.
Speaker 5: Man, And I think like he was just more so
Speaker 5: at the beginning and not like a pridor ego thing,
Speaker 5: but just he wanted to be like a part of it,
Speaker 5: you know. Yeah, And it's not everyone has an ego.
Speaker 1: Definitely some ego. It's like, well, I want to be
Speaker 1: a part of it. I want to help out.
Speaker 5: That's the difference of you know, year eighteen versus year
Speaker 5: five and a half.
Speaker 1: What's the difference. Ego. Yeah, it is the ego, right
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, yeah, they're like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I feel you because you're still trying
Speaker 2: to You're trying to have an eighteen year career, right.
Speaker 1: Trying to be nice, to be awesome would be nice. He's, uh,
Speaker 1: you can do it. I can't do it. He can
Speaker 1: afford to just come out and say that. Well, but
Speaker 1: I do love that.
Speaker 2: I do love how open you can be because it
Speaker 2: gives like a fresh perspective to a lot of people
Speaker 2: on what goes on in the mind of players that
Speaker 2: we can't necessarcially.
Speaker 5: For being a young head coach, so to have like
Speaker 5: this locker room is so like good to set a
Speaker 5: foundation for him like moving forward.
Speaker 1: I agree. And it's not like this everywhere. It's not
Speaker 1: at all, what do you mean by that? We got
Speaker 1: the best locker room in the NFL? Oh? Good, good one. No,
Speaker 1: you're not even talking about like, well I think this.
Speaker 8: I think Uh. There's fear around player led teams ultimately,
Speaker 8: especially with new programs. And there's always new programs in
Speaker 8: the league. So new coach comes in, you know, he
Speaker 8: wants to do his ship and the last guy was
Speaker 8: an idiot, and I want my guys in here. And
Speaker 8: we have so much turnover it's hard to really keep
Speaker 8: the fabric of what makes that place special there. And
Speaker 8: we naturally have an amazing kind of fabric and aura
Speaker 8: around lambeau Field and the Packers. But if we didn't
Speaker 8: have myself and Saydes and Mason and Bach and Bobby
Speaker 8: and Alan and some of these guys you know who've
Speaker 8: been around the team Cobby for a long time, that's
Speaker 8: the fabric of the team. And then instead of like
Speaker 8: trying to insert your own dogma and you know way
Speaker 8: of doing things that has to be right, going to
Speaker 8: those guys and saying what's worked here, Like what works
Speaker 8: in green Bay? Because green Bay is different, every place
Speaker 8: is different. What works here that I can add into
Speaker 8: my philosophy and my boundaries for the team and my
Speaker 8: you know, goals and directions. And I think that that's
Speaker 8: what Matt did really well, was he simplified things. He
Speaker 8: came in he said the three rules, like fuck, thank you.
Speaker 8: Three rules.
Speaker 1: Awesome? What are they?
Speaker 8: Put the team first, don't make excuses and complain, and
Speaker 8: beyond time be prepared like awesome, okay, and then we're
Speaker 8: gonna hold guys accountable if they don't follow the rules. Sweet,
Speaker 8: all right, So it's just like simple ship, right, that
Speaker 8: makes sense. And then players take it over, right.
Speaker 2: And everybody kind of working together and like obviously, yes
Speaker 2: there's ego and all, but checking your ego at the
Speaker 2: door while you're going into.
Speaker 5: Yeah you, I think that what was the thing that
Speaker 5: the players Tribune that I kind of said in in
Speaker 5: that letter was humble bragg, humble bally write it.
Speaker 1: Oh you wrote it, and Will you wrote it.
Speaker 5: But like you there, you don't even have to like
Speaker 5: check your ego at the door, Like it just naturally
Speaker 5: like just goes away once you get around like the
Speaker 5: leaders in the locker room, because when we hold each
Speaker 5: other accountable and two like we just actually like about
Speaker 5: each other. So you're not trying to come in here
Speaker 5: and you know, be anything you're not like he's saying,
Speaker 5: or like.
Speaker 1: When we fuck with each other too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think there has to be an
Speaker 8: environment where you can have jokes and mess around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have boys and sees each other.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what like brothers all about, right, Like yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, tearing it, picking at you, you know, you know,
Speaker 8: getting after you a little bit on where you're sensitive
Speaker 8: and then building you up when when we need to
Speaker 8: build you up. And I asked, what, Yeah, it's just
Speaker 8: great about our environment here.
Speaker 1: Are you sensitive?
Speaker 8: It's about a couple of things.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but no, like there's really no one actually sensitive.
Speaker 1: In the building other than.
Speaker 5: Matt, Like like about jokes.
Speaker 1: But he's gotten better. Yeah, he's got better. He's gotten better.
Speaker 5: But like when someone comes in with an ego and
Speaker 5: is like loud and up noxious or something like that,
Speaker 5: like they're either not here long or they like stick
Speaker 5: out like a sore thumb.
Speaker 1: In a bad way.
Speaker 8: You can you know, we won't, but you can probably
Speaker 8: name I mean I can in eighteen years and you can.
Speaker 8: And how many years you've been here now five and
Speaker 8: a half. I mean, there's definitely a few of those
Speaker 8: guys who have been stuck around.
Speaker 2: Dude, and you're eighteen. You've played eighteen fucking years, which
Speaker 2: is unreal. This will be eighteen. You play seventeen going
Speaker 2: on eighteen, going for back to back to back MVPs.
Speaker 2: But I think a couple of things that were glossed over,
Speaker 2: not glossed over. But what I really found interesting in
Speaker 2: that two and a half hour long podcast you did
Speaker 2: with Aubrey is you know, over the years, obviously you're
Speaker 2: you have this mystique about you where.
Speaker 1: Media and everybody.
Speaker 2: Else tries to separate you from the stuff you do
Speaker 2: on the field, how much you care, your actual competitive nature,
Speaker 2: how good of an.
Speaker 1: Actual leader you are.
Speaker 2: People try and separate and create a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: and it all gets away from everybody else. But one
Speaker 2: thing I really like listen to that, I was like,
Speaker 2: that's fucking awesome to kind of hear him reflect on
Speaker 2: was just how competitive you were going all the way
Speaker 2: back to sitting in because I was the same way,
Speaker 2: like I would sit on rivals and obsessed over being
Speaker 2: like I'm fucking better than this dude, Like I need
Speaker 2: to be trying to get to this camp. Like this
Speaker 2: obsession of like I would sacrifice and say no to
Speaker 2: this stuff on weekends, like you've you've like that's the
Speaker 2: humanizing thing that where it's like, oh fuck, like yeah,
Speaker 2: every young cat is like that, and you're the same
Speaker 2: way that young kid that's like loved the game. And
Speaker 2: another thing like squatting five hundred fucking pounds going into
Speaker 2: year eighteen, ay safety boy, Hey, And I justify myself
Speaker 2: because I'm like, man, he puts he's he's squatting on me.
Speaker 1: I don't think I could do five hundred on the
Speaker 1: safety bar anymore.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, but that is like, like that competitive
Speaker 2: nature is what I'm trying to pull out from this
Speaker 2: based on being young and you going.
Speaker 1: All the way back to that and you kind of
Speaker 1: having that.
Speaker 2: But it gets lost in translation because everybody's so obsessive
Speaker 2: of things that you do in the off season that
Speaker 2: I think people lose sight of that little kid that
Speaker 2: was still sitting probably writing the coaches or fucking watching
Speaker 2: rivals tape and trying to be the best or I
Speaker 2: need to get a scholarship to cal But that.
Speaker 8: Doesn't put the narrative. You know, I think they've they've
Speaker 8: definitely painted me. Is they want me to play the
Speaker 8: villain role. You know, they have all different roles and
Speaker 8: sports can be.
Speaker 1: Said own you like in the middle of the season,
Speaker 1: like it can be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be much more fun if it was
Speaker 5: it wasn't the villain role and he's just doing that
Speaker 5: and just having fun.
Speaker 1: I agree, you enjoy it fun.
Speaker 8: No, No, I'm saying if it was embracing the villain,
Speaker 8: I'm saying, that's how I'm getting atainted.
Speaker 1: Bro, that's a sensitive fine. I was literally just saying.
Speaker 5: I was saying, it would be much more like nice
Speaker 5: and like like if he was portrayed as you know
Speaker 5: who he actually is.
Speaker 8: I don't care, right, No, you won't pay me as
Speaker 8: a villain?
Speaker 1: Cool? Do you enjoy that? Like? Do you have fun?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 8: I mean I don't pay a lot of attention to it.
Speaker 8: I know it's out there. I know that's right.
Speaker 1: You did.
Speaker 2: You did speak in that podcast if times were man,
Speaker 2: what was the word you're saying? But you're like, I
Speaker 2: knew I was acting like something about it. Indifference.
Speaker 1: I was talking about killing people with difference, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: killing people with yeah yeah, right, about murdering people difference.
Speaker 8: It has ever been a you know, a part of
Speaker 8: the you know, part of the murder what charge, But
Speaker 8: but no, I was just saying that I do care deeply.
Speaker 8: I care about excellence. I care about my teammates, care
Speaker 8: about setting the standard, living up to that standard, and
Speaker 8: care about how I'm viewed in the locker room. And
Speaker 8: I care about how I'm know how I show up
Speaker 8: in the world. You know, I want to show up
Speaker 8: in the world exactly how I see myself. I think
Speaker 8: that's the goal for any of us. We want to
Speaker 8: be seen, heard and understood, right. I think that's kind
Speaker 8: of built into the fabric of our humanity. And you know,
Speaker 8: for me, I was seeing I was kind of heard,
Speaker 8: but I was also kind of an enigma because I
Speaker 8: talk a lot about my personal life but definitely not understood.
Speaker 8: And there were a lot of narratives that I ran
Speaker 8: out there about, you know, what they thought I was like,
Speaker 8: or what they expected or what they postulated or projected.
Speaker 8: I was like, And it's been nice last week years
Speaker 8: with you know, doing Pat Show and be a little
Speaker 8: more open with the media and then doing stuff like
Speaker 8: this with you. And you know, I enjoy these conversations
Speaker 8: because I think people get to you know, see actually
Speaker 8: who I am. They still don't like me, that's cool whatever.
Speaker 8: At least you get to like hear it from me, like, no,
Speaker 8: this is what I'm about, this is who I am.
Speaker 2: Take care to leave it were was there any type
Speaker 2: of nervous This might not be the right word, but
Speaker 2: like getting into doing the macape stuff like going out
Speaker 2: and showing yourself and being vulnerable enough to talk about
Speaker 2: these things, like, was there any type of myrtle you
Speaker 2: had to get over doing that and getting.
Speaker 1: It goes back to the plant. Yeah, it just goes
Speaker 1: back to the plant. Man.
Speaker 8: I think I got to the point of where truly, truly,
Speaker 8: deep down, not having anxiety or fear around, uh, what's
Speaker 8: going to be said about me? Knowing that the deepest
Speaker 8: regret would be to not show up exactly how I
Speaker 8: want to show up and to say exactly what I believe.
Speaker 8: And that was the acting part that I could actually
Speaker 8: not respond and and not care because I do want
Speaker 8: to be seen how I see myself.
Speaker 1: I think we all do.
Speaker 8: And a lot of people have said a lot of
Speaker 8: things about me over the years and portrayed me in
Speaker 8: a certain way. And this has been to some extent
Speaker 8: because you're never going to change. People that don't want
Speaker 8: to like you, don't like hate you. I think you're diva, ego, moniacal, narcissist,
Speaker 8: whatever else they say. But he's not paying attention. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I'm postulating, you know, that might be said. But in
Speaker 8: the end to be able to have a voice and
Speaker 8: take back minerve to some extent at least just speak
Speaker 8: the truth about who I am and what I'm about.
Speaker 1: It feels pretty good.
Speaker 2: I love him, man, I admire it, like I think
Speaker 2: it's I think it's awesome that you're Like when I
Speaker 2: heard you were going on PMT and stuff. My man,
Speaker 2: we're supposed to be fucking sitting down with them. But
Speaker 2: I really respect like all of this stuff. Like listen
Speaker 2: to that pod with the Aubrey.
Speaker 8: Listened to it, And we need more people who can
Speaker 8: have conversations and highlight guys in the league who are
Speaker 8: deep thinkers and interesting people and not just your standard
Speaker 8: blah blah football bullshit stuff. Because there's a lot of
Speaker 8: great stories in the league that don't get told, a
Speaker 8: lot of great humans who are smart and interesting and thoughtful.
Speaker 8: And I appreciate you, you know, highlighting those people and
Speaker 8: taking care of my boy boy, big Bob.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna be rolling? Are we gonna? Are we
Speaker 1: gonna be a crew? In due time? In due time?
Speaker 1: You know when when you you know, do.
Speaker 8: We get like those like three wheeled the motorcycles become
Speaker 8: a motorcycle gang?
Speaker 1: Or what I would be? I would be down with that.
Speaker 1: That's the boys, a gang of love. That is true.
Speaker 1: Why did he want to kick me in the balls?
Speaker 1: You said Aaron said he wanted to.
Speaker 5: Kick I don't have a reason. I just said, that's
Speaker 5: something you guys got to deal with. I just felt
Speaker 5: like you took you know, you posting that video the
Speaker 5: other day. It was really hurtful. So among other things,
Speaker 5: question what else? What else?
Speaker 1: I don't remember?
Speaker 8: I forgot, I got Let's get it out, okay, I
Speaker 8: got a meeting in six minutes.
Speaker 1: Do you have a tier? Times? We don't because it
Speaker 1: was it was too short. How else do we got
Speaker 1: to figure out? How about this?
Speaker 5: But we can cut this if Aaron doesn't want it on.
Speaker 5: But I thought about it last night.
Speaker 1: You ready to ask one more question? Yes?
Speaker 2: Before we do that, because I think it's major. How
Speaker 2: do you see yourself going out?
Speaker 8: Because you've played eighteen years seven.
Speaker 2: Seventeen years, and I'm sure Super Bowls involved and stuff,
Speaker 2: but like, how do you see yourself going out as
Speaker 2: it is? It talking about that young ten year old
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers that love this game so much. Has been
Speaker 2: so competitive, so you're always doing yourself right by it,
Speaker 2: But like, how do you see Aaron Rodgers going out
Speaker 2: when you do decide to retire.
Speaker 8: I see waking up and with a lot of gratitude
Speaker 8: for a twenty five years playing the same thing, playing
Speaker 8: the same sport. However many years at twenty five, this
Speaker 8: is my twenty fifth years, So whether it's like five
Speaker 8: or twenty six or twenty seven, I'm counting, like you know,
Speaker 8: junior college and cal and High school.
Speaker 1: And he's a grinder Juco. Yeah, yeah, Juco grinder. All
Speaker 1: I need to hear was he was watching Rivals and it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I up says I was fucking watched
Speaker 1: it into the list man. I was like, I'm shitty.
Speaker 1: I can't even get my self doubt.
Speaker 2: But you talked about you talked about how it helped
Speaker 2: you build that kind of chip on your shoulder.
Speaker 1: But yeah it did.
Speaker 8: But you know, I think the time is going to
Speaker 8: be pretty evident you it was my time to hang
Speaker 8: it up. Oh no, okay, and it's it's it'll be
Speaker 8: mental hopefully physical. I mean that's an easy time when
Speaker 8: you know you can't physically do it. But if I
Speaker 8: can still physically do it, it's just the mental part.
Speaker 8: And is it time to move on or a time
Speaker 8: to keep it rolling and keep on chasing?
Speaker 1: And I support that? All right? Boys?

Speaker 8: super Bowl together. That's what I was saying. I thought.

Speaker 8: and I saw him there day put a little bit
Speaker 8: of weight on, and Tay still looks good and still
Speaker 8: the best receiver in the league. So I'm definitely starting.
Speaker 5: I was in my friend's basement watching him win a
Speaker 5: Super Bowl sophomore.

Speaker 2: He was in Super Bowl winning it. We were all
