Speaker 4: the routine back and check you're up at the time
Speaker 4: we got to get in. Yeah, I did. To start
Speaker 4: the week. I even saw you're going to bed tweet

Speaker 4: go to the gym. Who's there, comp nasty? Getting his
Speaker 4: getting his legs right? Getting that back right, I go,
Speaker 4: I take my kids to school. We're listening to bangers
Speaker 4: the whole way. I feel fantastic. I think this is
Speaker 4: gonna be I literally as my kids were getting out
Speaker 4: of the car. I yell at my kids every single time, obnoxious,
Speaker 4: dad and move. But I love doing it. I rolled
Speaker 4: on the window and I scream at them how much
Speaker 4: I love them, And I say, make this the best
Speaker 4: week of your entire lives, all your dreams that need
Speaker 4: to come true this week. And I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do the same. I get here, sun's out,

Speaker 4: he really?
Speaker 2: What's up? DP?

Speaker 6: Well talks mind you shiptheads when we're doing a major thing.
Speaker 4: I uh, what the fuck do they do?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: One person that can be like, hey, heads up, we
Speaker 5: have a fucking multimillion dollar ad deal where everyone's on
Speaker 5: the call, everyone.
Speaker 2: Got the message except YouTube. How is that fucking possible? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't I I yeah, trust me, I swear to God.
Speaker 2: I wish I had an excuse for you, but three
Speaker 2: of them are back there listening right now. It's it's
Speaker 2: it's a reflection of our bad leadership.
Speaker 6: What it's like over and over, it's the same ship
Speaker 6: over and over.
Speaker 2: What's the same ship?
Speaker 6: Like we didn't read an email properly, we didn't know,
Speaker 6: like that fucking moron went to dinner with it was like,
Speaker 6: well I did you gotta do has to decay partner,
Speaker 6: Like it's simple ship and then we just have the
Speaker 6: same conversation, like we didn't look at a camera.
Speaker 2: We're not aware, Like how does that change? I know? Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Like I get an email for fucking Austin every single day.
Speaker 7: Here's what you have, David.
Speaker 6: So I don't fucking miss anything.
Speaker 7: How hard is that?
Speaker 4: Did you when YouTube morons played football?
Speaker 2: Did you just miss team meetings, practice as games?
Speaker 4: Like I don't get it.
Speaker 2: No, no, And when I was late, my assole would
Speaker 2: be tight, just like it is right now.
Speaker 6: So like I don't I don't like everybody's there, like people,
Speaker 6: we don't talk like Walla Gilly they got it, Rihanna,
Speaker 6: she got it.
Speaker 2: Fucking business on them.
Speaker 6: How does everyone get except YouTube?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I I have no clue what to say. We
Speaker 2: we uh, we fucked that one up.
Speaker 6: And I don't know how to do it because like
Speaker 6: we send the emails that you guys ask like, well,
Speaker 6: we just didn't read the email.
Speaker 2: There, like I And then I get.
Speaker 6: Desperated because, like I don't, we just keep doing it
Speaker 6: so it's gonna happen fucking again. I don't like, you
Speaker 6: have five full time people just for one of them
Speaker 6: to be like, we need to know what we have
Speaker 6: to do every fucking day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, you're right right, I know, yeah, I uh.
Speaker 4: He and he body bagged your ass. Yeah, you got
Speaker 4: you gotta take the bullets. You did a great job
Speaker 4: of just saying sorry essentially just because we did just
Speaker 4: fuck up the whole time. There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 4: It's it.
Speaker 2: It's just like when you're getting reamed by your position
Speaker 2: coach or decoordinator or head ball coach. You just gotta
Speaker 2: eat it, especially if you know you like you fucked
Speaker 2: it up and you shouldn't funck something like that.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, dude, and.
Speaker 2: And I legitimately he's not wrong either. Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's the shitty part is sometimes DA will lose a ship,
Speaker 4: and it's like he's just not thinking clearly. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: he's right. So I dropped my kids off at school,
Speaker 4: I come here, I get a coffee, and I get
Speaker 4: my two espresso Lucies, and I put on my lower
Speaker 4: lip and I literally took a deep breath grabbing that coffee, going,
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a phenomenal day. Hey, kay Adams,
Speaker 4: and stop me now, can't stop me now, just like
Speaker 4: the song from Queen.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, k Adams at ten run busting at ten thirty.
Speaker 4: Big bang boom. We had a couple of ads to do.
Speaker 4: One company. We won't say which company wanted to reshoot.
Speaker 4: We won't get into it, but we're gonna do that too.
Speaker 4: We had we just had a good solid day plan.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, heart's racing right now. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the thing that sucks about like it's one thing
Speaker 4: to know something and just be like, I'll do it tomorrow,
Speaker 4: because there's a piece of you that's like, ah, I
Speaker 4: should have just done that thing. It's a whole other
Speaker 4: thing to think you're on the right trajectory and then
Speaker 4: be like someone's like, hey, by the way, you completely
Speaker 4: just missed this thing you were committed to and that's
Speaker 4: where we're at now though, because dude, we're idiots. We're
Speaker 4: just dumb. I know, like I know we are, but
Speaker 4: I fucking hate saying that about myself.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 2: And you're not that dumb. You're not that dumb. It
Speaker 2: doesn't change until the habits change. I got to get
Speaker 2: in a better habit of. And that's the thing is
Speaker 2: I read Dave portnoy emails. I usually do too.
Speaker 4: We were just talking before we shot about him yelling
Speaker 4: to someone he didn't name. I'm pretty sure his rico
Speaker 4: about sleeping on a stream. I read the whole email
Speaker 4: all the way through. If it says Dave Portnoy, you
Speaker 4: read the email, now, let me check it.
Speaker 2: And when he texted you too, motherfuckers? Now, yeah, I
Speaker 2: just said, what's going on? He's good, You're you're not.
Speaker 2: I had no clue. I'm sitting there looking up different
Speaker 2: rules and different scoring systems for the march madness. I'm
Speaker 2: looking at different apps on how we could you do
Speaker 2: a community one like a public one. Maybe we should
Speaker 2: just do our private one on one of the apps.
Speaker 2: We can do a couple entries, like I'm juggling, like, like, okay,
Speaker 2: how can we how can we spice this up and
Speaker 2: have some fun in the shop basically, And I see
Speaker 2: that text while Taylor's doing k Adams, I'm like, I
Speaker 2: just put what's going on? Thinking like what would happen?
Speaker 2: Like I truly had no clue. He goes, you two
Speaker 2: aren't on the fucking Bracketbusters.
Speaker 4: I think I figured out why we missed it, Ryan
Speaker 4: Boser name, But Ryan.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why we missed it. We didn't check
Speaker 2: the email. I know why I didn't why I didn't
Speaker 2: see it.
Speaker 4: Ian born Nausean. That's that's the person who sent the
Speaker 4: email to us, and we just well Dave's and it's
Speaker 4: Bracketbuster twenty twenty four, Monday, three eight.
Speaker 2: One on the fourteenth. Because I was hopeful, I'm thinking
Speaker 2: to myself, I truly nobody has personally told me anything
Speaker 2: about Bracketbusters Like last year. I want to say, MB
Speaker 2: told us that, Hey, I think Big Ka's gonna select
Speaker 2: for you guys. You guys are entered in this pool.
Speaker 2: Here's how it works. Your team is I forget who
Speaker 2: we had last year, but they rode to where we
Speaker 2: got to get a portion of the money. I think
Speaker 2: we split with somebody else and this year, like it
Speaker 2: hadn't even crossed my mind and no one has sent anything,
Speaker 2: which is like, is not an excuse Because then I
Speaker 2: saw I go to my emails thinking like hoping that
Speaker 2: there was nothing about Bracketbusters because I'm thinking I see
Speaker 2: Dave thinking, I'm thinking, bro, i haven't heard anything about this.
Speaker 2: And I checked the email and I see Dave. Why
Speaker 2: I type in brasket Bracketbuster in the search bar and
Speaker 2: I see three emails, one from Dave on March fourteenth,
Speaker 2: and then a couple from that Ryan guy kind of
Speaker 2: like one setting up the call, and then the second
Speaker 2: one here's the zoom link. And I'm just thinking, God,
Speaker 2: damn it, how did I not check the Dave one?
Speaker 2: Because the right one if it was just Ryan, Like
Speaker 2: there's times where I just see it and I'm just
Speaker 2: assuming like our team is on those emails, so it
Speaker 2: is probably not even for me type of thing is
Speaker 2: what goes on through my mind. Yeah, But when I
Speaker 2: saw the Dave one, I'm like, Okay, there's no way
Speaker 2: on this. Now I have to hope for and he
Speaker 2: already said I have to hope for some of these
Speaker 2: people like Walllow, Gilly, Brianna spitting chicklets like that, they're
Speaker 2: not gonna be on this call.
Speaker 4: They're gonna miss. Yeah, and which is a horrible thing
Speaker 4: to do when you're on a team, to hope somebody
Speaker 4: else also failed, So it takes off the brunt of.
Speaker 2: Your But I was also only thinking that because he's
Speaker 2: just dreaming us. So I'm thinking to myself, if somebody
Speaker 2: else's miss, they better be getting the same tree. Because
Speaker 2: he's talking. He's talking wild. Because everything he just said
Speaker 2: on that call, he said in text, everything he repeated,
Speaker 2: he's basically just repeated himself. Yeah, we just elevate, maybe
Speaker 2: hit the time change.
Speaker 8: Oh sorry, we were our it's our back.
Speaker 4: It said on the email said ten ct A two
Speaker 4: weeks ago, spring forward appen.
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm an hour. I don't know.
Speaker 8: We just hit the clocks.
Speaker 4: It's a it's a bad look. That's that's not a
Speaker 4: good look. It's not a yeah, it's not good. I
Speaker 4: think the question represent The question is, and we need
Speaker 4: to have a quick thing tink is how do we
Speaker 4: make this other day fortnoy.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's making it up. I think what
Speaker 2: happens to us, I'm gonna go in. I'm going into
Speaker 2: the fucking jungle on Thursday when I go to March
Speaker 2: Madness because Dave will be there. Thank god, I'll go
Speaker 2: to Vegas. We're gonna have to relive this just in
Speaker 2: now in front of my.
Speaker 4: Teammates, which is so much worse getting called in the
Speaker 4: office and getting reamed out one on one. Yeah, you
Speaker 4: like taking You're like god and thank god no one
Speaker 4: saw that, and you know, the next team meeting.
Speaker 2: And he really they got the play up on the
Speaker 2: fucking screen.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, we just talked about this yesterday. It's like, bro,
Speaker 4: that played happened, then we talked about now this.
Speaker 2: I was texting, uh, texting Big Cat, just asking him
Speaker 2: a couple questions surrounding like the tournament, stuff like what
Speaker 2: he like, what he uses, if he's with his boys,
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. I sent that text to the
Speaker 2: Dan at ten fifteen am, asking about an app and
Speaker 2: then he ended up texting me just like five minutes ago,
Speaker 2: are you texting me from the doghouse? And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I wasn't in that moment, but little did I know
Speaker 2: I was getting my nose shoved into a corner.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Man, So Monday started out tough for the boys. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's okay, course correct, of course correct. We have to
Speaker 4: mincy this, like we're getting fucked in the ass right now.
Speaker 4: We have to remain positive that hey, it's gonna come around.
Speaker 4: Finish evree, we're gonna be all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Every every few months or every month or so,
Speaker 2: there's something that we fuck up. Well we get back
Speaker 2: on track. Now we have to we have to reset
Speaker 2: the calendar to zero days of fucked up. And now
Speaker 2: we have to ride this thing out. Now.
Speaker 4: There was a call last week that I that Will
Speaker 4: and I were both supposed to be on that I missed,
Speaker 4: and I thought to myself, dude, thank god we went
Speaker 4: to And there was another thing that made us think, oh,
Speaker 4: thank god.
Speaker 2: We went to dinner with Dave. Yeah, even though that
Speaker 2: was a.
Speaker 4: Good bro hangout time, it's like you're kind of close
Speaker 4: to the situation. You're like, all right, we went to dinner,
Speaker 4: it was great. Blah blah blah. I missed a loocy thing.
Speaker 4: I shoot David. I try to call Dave. He was
Speaker 4: shooting gives me the f you bund. I texted him
Speaker 4: and say, hey, just want to be a very professional
Speaker 4: to me. Missed the call. I apologize. He said, thanks,
Speaker 4: I was shooting. I thought, all right, we're good.
Speaker 2: Thing that we were thankful about the dinner on was
Speaker 2: the spring Torso there were a couple of things.
Speaker 3: Ya.
Speaker 4: But man, dude, we just keep messing up.
Speaker 8: What's the solution.
Speaker 4: We gotta we gotta get better.
Speaker 2: I got yeah. Individually, I like, I personally have to
Speaker 2: tighten my ship up. And it's gotta it starts, it starts,
Speaker 2: it's gotta trickle down.
Speaker 4: I like that. That's good. We need to We need
Speaker 4: to consciously and intentionally read our email sent even if
Speaker 4: it's not by Dave.
Speaker 2: I got it.
Speaker 4: That's the number one thing to do. The number So
Speaker 4: once we do that, we'll be we'll be fine. How
Speaker 4: I you and I need to have one person at
Speaker 4: this bus that is ce Seed on every email. We're
Speaker 4: a c set on and we have to be told
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 2: The problem is, I feel like the majority is we're
Speaker 2: all c Seed on these emails.
Speaker 4: Were you guys se Seed in those emails?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: So I think there's the lack of communication of who
Speaker 9: is telling you guys, because maybe some of us are
Speaker 9: sitting in our seats thinking, oh, yeah, I'm sure so
Speaker 9: and so told them about this.
Speaker 4: Right, But this is great this, I'm glad this conversations happening.
Speaker 2: In his brain is thinking how do I get fully right? Yeah? Right,
Speaker 2: that's how I feel like everybody. That's how I feel
Speaker 2: like everybody needs to be right. How do I get
Speaker 2: fully right? How could I have done this? How could
Speaker 2: I have done that? Like to me, that's the only way,
Speaker 2: that's the only way it goes.
Speaker 4: Take care of your ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now.
Speaker 4: I feel like we've all learned a lesson, though is
Speaker 4: goes for any of us. I think over communication is
Speaker 4: where we could have won here. Yep, just communication. Now
Speaker 4: it's one hundred percent on Will and I not on
Speaker 4: you guys at all, because now we're going now we're
Speaker 4: gonna level this thing up. And now we just know
Speaker 4: if there's an email out there there was something has happened.
Speaker 4: We all just got to tell each other. But also
Speaker 4: starts with us handling our business the way we should
Speaker 4: handle our business. We'll be better for this man, We
Speaker 4: will be better for this. It doesn't feel like it
Speaker 4: right now, because like you said, we're getting fucked in
Speaker 4: the ass. Yeah, and we just got to wait for
Speaker 4: the thrusting to stop. Calm down, we want to smell
Speaker 4: the cigarette being lit, and we're gonna relax.
Speaker 2: Bring the team back to the sideline. They came out
Speaker 2: and shoved it down our ass the first drive, the
Speaker 2: first series. That's how it was, like Mitch and Na fourteen.
Speaker 2: We got to get the boys back to the sideline.
Speaker 2: We gotta take a breath. Hey, calm down, They're not
Speaker 2: showing us anything we didn't know. Should we have gotten
Speaker 2: those should we have made those plays? Absolutely, but hey,
Speaker 2: we gotta be a We have to have a goldfish memory,
Speaker 2: as ted Lassa would say. Absolutely, we have to bounce back.
Speaker 4: We have, We've got to. But here's the problem. Now,
Speaker 4: only do we have to bounce back, Dave has now
Speaker 4: decommitted to Beer Olympics, which is a huge l for us.
Speaker 4: Not only do we have to bounce back, we need
Speaker 4: to do something to get him back on Beer Olympics.
Speaker 4: It could go one of two ways. Dave's got a
Speaker 4: fuck up somehow, which I do not see happening, or
Speaker 4: we have to go above and beyond it is right,
Speaker 4: I don't see what can Dave do to fuck us exactly,
Speaker 4: But that would be a situation where if Dave fucked
Speaker 4: up bad, then we could go, hey, Dave, you fucked up.
Speaker 4: We fucked up. What's called even You're.
Speaker 2: Back on the Olympics, so he's gotta fuck us.
Speaker 4: Oh, essentially on accident, though if it's intentional, it's okay.
Speaker 4: Then it just hurts.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 4: That will not happen. As I'm saying, yeah, we you
Speaker 4: and I need to think of a way to make
Speaker 4: this up to Dave to where Dave goes not only
Speaker 4: do I forgive you, I'm back in on beer Olympics.
Speaker 2: I doubt he says anything like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, but he'll stay in his Dave way.
Speaker 2: You're going to Vegas this weekend, right, Yeah, maybe the winning.
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. Dave's got Dave's got money.
Speaker 8: It's not for Dave, for the company.
Speaker 9: Because there's what you what we costed them was a
Speaker 9: financial thing.
Speaker 8: It sounds like it's just that.
Speaker 2: It's a bad look all around. Yeah, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think we costed them like a like a financial penalty
Speaker 2: like the you know, they had to give money back
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But the way they sell it
Speaker 2: and with us part of it, it's like one of
Speaker 2: those things where Dave comes saying like when Mincey got
Speaker 2: ream for not going to the combine where he was
Speaker 2: into it with Titus over him not showing up for
Speaker 2: a sponsored event. Guess not showing up for a very
Speaker 2: highly sponsored thing.
Speaker 8: Maybe we've become brick Watch representatives for a month.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea. Should I get him back on
Speaker 2: and we try and negotiate.
Speaker 4: Call him back, Well we were before. We call him back, though,
Speaker 4: we could do a percentage of winnings from Vegas brick
Speaker 4: Watch salesman and what else? What's one more thing we
Speaker 4: can bring to the table.
Speaker 2: I think we ask him first. I think we just
Speaker 2: want to offer up You know that, You're right.
Speaker 4: That's a great tactic for those of you listening to
Speaker 4: the show.
Speaker 2: For the money we're offering this, we're offering that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: He can literally play hard. He could just be like no,
Speaker 2: and then it makes us feel like we got to
Speaker 2: do even more.
Speaker 4: You're right, that's good. Call him.
Speaker 2: I Hey, Dave, we're really trying to work through this
Speaker 2: fuck up. We're wondering if there's anything we can do
Speaker 2: to get out of the doghouse.
Speaker 5: Well, no, I mean I had the thing already happened.
Speaker 2: You got A sixteen.
Speaker 5: The teams us thinking you'll be a limited quickly, But
Speaker 5: I don't know why, in a serious note, why don't
Speaker 5: you just have one of your people just tell you
Speaker 5: every single day what you have.
Speaker 2: To do commitment? Yeah, yeah, no, I know you're you know,
Speaker 2: you're right about that. It's like one of those things
Speaker 2: to where since it's it's it's it's already happened, it's
Speaker 2: kind of like I'm sure we're still just beating ourselves
Speaker 2: up over fucking this up, but you're totally right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's like I mean, it keeps. I don't
Speaker 5: know if any of them new about it. Like, like
Speaker 5: I said, I get the thing Austin tells you he's
Speaker 5: on everything I need to be aware of, and I
Speaker 5: get every morning like hey you this this time and
Speaker 5: this is bad time, and it's like one thing if
Speaker 5: there was mystificationion, but I mean we don't like everybody's
Speaker 5: managed to get this message except you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Taylor and I were talking to like when
Speaker 2: your nail, like whenever you said that, I truly like,
Speaker 2: at that moment in time, I'm like, well, I literally

Speaker 5: in the face by you guys on this to like, oh,
Speaker 5: I'll happily be a bus. I mean, the last fucking
Speaker 5: two calls I've had to do now salespeople being what

Speaker 2: in the lab.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 4: But hey, when your parents are mad at you, you
Speaker 4: don't wait till they've kind of calmed down to ask
Speaker 4: for something. You mean, the beer Olympics that you should
Speaker 4: have just not said anything about that. And he'd be like,
Speaker 4: all right, we'll make this up to you, because now
Speaker 4: the parent thinks.
Speaker 2: In their head, it's good, that's good for the content.
Speaker 4: Now they're thinking in their head. The parent is thinking
Speaker 4: in their head they were just trying to make things
Speaker 4: right so they could still get what they wanted.
Speaker 2: No, that's not what was happening. I think I think
Speaker 2: all things can be. He can think that way. I mean,
Speaker 2: we do feel bad the answer.
Speaker 4: If he said one hundred percent done, we'd be fucked.
Speaker 4: Fact that he said point zero zero one percent gives
Speaker 4: me a small glimmer of hope. Well, we just got
Speaker 4: to be on our ship.

Speaker 4: energy to do everything I want to do like Bracketbusters.

Speaker 4: I don't know about Oregon.
Speaker 2: All I know is I knew JP was at the game.
Speaker 2: JP went to the game last week. So I threw
Speaker 2: it on because I'm like, okay, it's tournament time like this,
Speaker 2: this could be a time to watch them teams, watch
Speaker 2: them games, Like let me see my catch JP from
Speaker 2: where he took his photo. I'm like, maybe I could
Speaker 2: see him on TV. I flipping on. These boys are
Speaker 2: kids blistered by like thirty points.
Speaker 9: Auburn is a good team, not a great matchup for US.
Speaker 9: But as Jack knows as basketball fans, no conference tournaments
Speaker 9: don't matter when you're already a lock for the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2: Extract.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I can rest, like I can, I can
Speaker 4: gather that, but still getting beat by like.

Speaker 2: Man? You know know this is what this is what sucks.
Speaker 2: You get like excited and you can just tell JP's
Speaker 2: like a he's like a gatekeeper basketball fan. He likes
Speaker 2: to allude to it, you know, and basketball fans you know,
Speaker 2: like this stuff doesn't matter. He's like, oh he sees
Speaker 2: a little bit of excitement versus a casual fan that doesn't.
Speaker 2: I don't watch a whole lot of basketball.
Speaker 8: Your excitement is coming at the downfall of my team.
Speaker 2: No, all I said was I'm hoping Tomanaga. Tomanaga, which
Speaker 2: one is.
Speaker 8: Right after you were coming to Carolina, So I got it.
Speaker 2: Having a little fun. Yeah, same, Relax.
Speaker 4: Let's get back on track though about how we Gotmanaga. Yeah, Tomanaga.
Speaker 4: I hope he goes nuts when he came on the
Speaker 4: other night.
Speaker 10: Bro.
Speaker 2: Hey, I swear to god, it is electric watching this cat.
Speaker 4: This is a kid that we were with at Jake's correct.
Speaker 2: No, he was wanting to get a photo. I think
Speaker 2: they were trying to set up a photo at the
Speaker 2: before the bust and Bowl's cat is insane.
Speaker 4: This is him.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he is March, like March is made of people like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're called they're calling him the the Japanese
Speaker 2: Steph Curry.
Speaker 4: Oh let's go, and they're well, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Just just dropping shockey bombs left and right other place.
Speaker 4: Right now, I would like to say something before we
Speaker 4: start completely going away from the where we're at, Mitch,
Speaker 4: I hope you took notes on Will Compton you say
Speaker 4: you don't give a fuck about the hockey team, Will
Speaker 4: gets excited about Nebraska's bowling team. Not only does he
Speaker 4: do that he doesn't care about South Carolina basketball, but
Speaker 4: he knows his boy is at a South Carolina basketball
Speaker 4: game and chooses to watch the game to support his boy.
Speaker 4: Maybe take notes on that, instead of belittling the team
Speaker 4: you claim to be a fan of about the hockey team.
Speaker 10: It's the hockey team that I don't pay attention to.
Speaker 4: Why is Michigan Nebraska right now? We win this one?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah?
Speaker 2: Did you guys? Did you guys watch? Uh now? When
Speaker 2: they played Illinois? Who they who they beat? Who they
Speaker 2: beat by like twenty in the in the quarterfinals? Why
Speaker 2: am i Jonah Blanker?
Speaker 4: I love that he wears a head band.
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to be funny, but it wasn't Michigan.
Speaker 2: Wasn't No, I wasn't Michigan. They played Michigan like last
Speaker 2: game of the season. But when uh yeah, yeah, Indiana,
Speaker 2: Indiana he came in and he wasn't Did you guys
Speaker 2: watch any of that one? Some of the some of
Speaker 2: the sequences they were like back to back, like he
Speaker 2: just starts catching fire goes down, hits this crazy spin move,
Speaker 2: HiT's a step back beyond the arc, drops one, and
Speaker 2: I'm just like laughing at the TV. I'm a EO babe.
Speaker 2: This cat is what everybody says.
Speaker 4: He is this kid right here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I d M him, did you really what you said?
Speaker 2: We shut the we shut the follows on Instagra. So
Speaker 2: I hit him with the DM. I sent him a.
Speaker 8: It was a legendary.
Speaker 4: Shut the fuck Google translator. Yeah, that is so funny.
Speaker 2: Just send him a will Japanese has said you're a legend,
Speaker 2: and then send him another one says what did I say?
Speaker 12: I clearly carry this go oh go go funck shuit up,
Speaker 12: go funck shuit up in the tournament, and he literally
Speaker 12: writes back in English, banks will we will think.
Speaker 2: You we will? And it's gotta fire him up. That
Speaker 2: his voice is droppings some Japanese for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is kind of that's awesome.
Speaker 2: That is this That looks like Joe Kim Noah, his
Speaker 2: sister's on the volleyball team. So just a family of athletes.
Speaker 9: Let's go, man, They're a good march team. Nebraska is
Speaker 9: a fun march madness team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just feel like to the energy and
Speaker 2: the fact that we draw. We drew a M first game,
Speaker 2: Trev Albert's Revenge game. So hold on, JP, why do
Speaker 2: you say women I think are playing A and M two.
Speaker 4: Why'd you say Nebraska is a fun March em to watch.
Speaker 9: Because they they've had big upsets throughout the year, but
Speaker 9: they've dropped games they shouldn't have dropped. But it seems
Speaker 9: like every time they're on like a nationally televised game,
Speaker 9: they show up and then they have that key staple
Speaker 9: player that always comes out in March. They're like, I
Speaker 9: don't want to We're saying he's Japanese Steph Curry, but
Speaker 9: like Steph Curry at Davidson, everyone's following him the whole year.
Speaker 9: You're like, Oh, this kid's a baller, Like let's see
Speaker 9: what he'll really do, like on the big stage. And
Speaker 9: then Steph Curry crushes March Madness, which I can see
Speaker 9: this kid being like the the March Madness.
Speaker 2: And literally everything JP's saying is like when I go
Speaker 2: to a Barsol Chicago like Titus, everybody kind of says
Speaker 2: that same thing. Really, they have the big upsets under
Speaker 2: their belt, dropped a few games, but they also have
Speaker 2: like that fan favorite and Tomanaga. Tomanaga that everybody just
Speaker 2: like roost for because he's just a stud.
Speaker 4: So even non Nebraska fans are rooting for this kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, if you're not, if it's not the team
Speaker 2: that they're playing, it feels like everybody's like, I feel
Speaker 2: like the energy around that dude is just nuts elevated.
Speaker 4: Man. That fires me up.
Speaker 2: Dude. They Ope thing and gill one and then they
Speaker 2: would have to play Houston.
Speaker 7: You guys are the women's are playing A and M too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, games both.
Speaker 4: With Nebraska basketball squads are playing and M.
Speaker 2: Yeah. After Trev bounced on the boys last and I saw.
Speaker 4: I was following on Twitter, So Trev the ad left
Speaker 4: and went to Texas A and M. Yes, and then
Speaker 4: I saw what's case.
Speaker 2: After he signed an extension through thirty twenty thirty one
Speaker 2: just this past November.
Speaker 4: That's heartless. Yeah, there's some there's some there's some bad blood.
Speaker 2: There's some scuttle bug going around.
Speaker 4: What do you have to anything you'd like to say
Speaker 4: to the people.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like there's there's a couple
Speaker 2: of things right Like number one, this is beyond, This
Speaker 2: is above the ad. This is above the ad. We
Speaker 2: haven't hired like we had Ted Carter. Remember when we
Speaker 2: were in that suite at Georgia's a couple of years ago. Uh,
Speaker 2: Ted Carter was the president at the time, and everybody
Speaker 2: was fired up, raving about this cat, and he seemed
Speaker 2: to be a very good stable piece that was gonna
Speaker 2: help Nebraska not only football wise but just on the
Speaker 2: macro scale. And uh, then we got, not then we got,
Speaker 2: but we had trev Alberts already there. So those two
Speaker 2: that one two punch, and then when Frost kind of
Speaker 2: played his way out, they hire on and they hire
Speaker 2: Matt Rule. It felt like, for one at at one
Speaker 2: point that there was continuity throughout from top to all
Speaker 2: the way down the DA because a lot there's somebody
Speaker 2: different there every semm.
Speaker 4: I remember us talking about that and being like, that
Speaker 4: doesn't really happen in college football. Usually there's an AD,
Speaker 4: then there's a head coach in the ad leaves, and
Speaker 4: very rarely do you have like both people on the
Speaker 4: same page right right.
Speaker 2: And so Ted Carter signs an extension and within a
Speaker 2: year he bounces to Ohio State, which.
Speaker 4: Was kind of like witch doesn't care about at all.
Speaker 2: You probably didn't even know. Uh. And then that's so
Speaker 2: that's within the year, we still don't have a president
Speaker 2: hired like through the Board of Regents and through people
Speaker 2: above that position. There's still it's still vacant the president spot.
Speaker 2: And that's been for over two hundred and fifty days now,
Speaker 2: like coming up on a year now, Trev he signs
Speaker 2: his extension in November, signs an extension, and now he's
Speaker 2: dipping before even half a year. And so it's like
Speaker 2: there's thoughts of like, how dysfunctional because everybody's very aware
Speaker 2: that it's a little dysfunctional at the top because they're
Speaker 2: split at the political level, they're split. There's there's just
Speaker 2: always kind of been that sense of that that cloud
Speaker 2: that goes on beyond like the ad and president and
Speaker 2: everything else. But on the in the same breath, it's
Speaker 2: like if you're Trev and you know kind of what
Speaker 2: you're signing up for, having been an All American and
Speaker 2: everything else, and you just on record when you sign
Speaker 2: the extension, there's this is the dream job. There's no
Speaker 2: place you want to be like that. That was like
Speaker 2: his this was like his thing because all he did
Speaker 2: was make a lateral movie. He didn't make. He did
Speaker 2: make like a promotional move. He just went to another
Speaker 2: school to be the ad. But you kind of know
Speaker 2: what you're getting into. So people are pissed because it's like,
Speaker 2: if you're the leader and you're this guy that you're
Speaker 2: claiming you've claimed to be, then you would have stayed
Speaker 2: in all this chaos and really tried to continue to
Speaker 2: fix it. Now, my like, my thought going to the
Speaker 2: other side is there's just some things that people can't
Speaker 2: get on the same page about that big vision wise
Speaker 2: travel isn't able to accomplish. And this is a smart cat, like,
Speaker 2: this is a calculated individual, So him making this move,
Speaker 2: like I think it'll all some things will come out
Speaker 2: one day. I don't know how much you'll talk about,
Speaker 2: but uh, it feels like something else was going on
Speaker 2: that people just don't know about because it was a
Speaker 2: surprising move, like coach Rule didn't know. Now the intern,
Speaker 2: the interim AD is Dennis LeBlanc, who was our academic
Speaker 2: guy that signed us up for all of our classes
Speaker 2: and kind of headed the academic the athletic academic side. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's now the sitting AD who's been there for over
Speaker 2: two decades, which I'm fired up by. I think he's
Speaker 2: a great interim ad for now as.
Speaker 4: Long as his relationship with the Rule is good.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. So now it's almost like the power
Speaker 2: kind of shifts to coach Rule because Coach Rules buyout
Speaker 2: is like north of sixty million dollars, So whoever the
Speaker 2: next idea is. I feel like Rule's gonna have a
Speaker 2: big say in that, which I think is a good thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, Rule I think is perfect for that, is
Speaker 2: perfect for a head coach in Nebraska. But it's just
Speaker 2: kind of like mind blowing all the different pieces that
Speaker 2: have fallen and Trev kind of just dipping it. It's
Speaker 2: like it makes me believe, man, it must be really
Speaker 2: dysfunctional if it's taking him to leave, because obviously, like
Speaker 2: we've had conversations with him, he's been great to us.
Speaker 2: He's done a lot of big things at Nebraska, and
Speaker 2: people seem to like him. But if he's not getting
Speaker 2: along somewhere to where he can't make some move that's
Speaker 2: forced him to kind of leave, I think sucks. And
Speaker 2: then also it's like I used to understand why everybody's
Speaker 2: pissed off because it's like, yeah, Bro, you you were
Speaker 2: in play. Everybody wants you here to help fix up
Speaker 2: it helped clean up this stuff at the top.
Speaker 4: So it seems like the only reason why he left
Speaker 4: is there's a big issue up top that no one
Speaker 4: really knows about. But he was like, this is going
Speaker 4: to be the downfall.
Speaker 2: There's probably yeah, there's probably some some a few moving parts,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I'm just assuming because I haven't I haven't
Speaker 2: talked to him.
Speaker 4: He tweeted like, Hey, you're gonna bring the bust down
Speaker 4: to A and m.
Speaker 2: Would I did that video on him leaving Manziel Johnny
Speaker 2: quote tweets and says, this is everything I need to
Speaker 2: know about Trev. Like, I'm on board gig them. And
Speaker 2: then Trev quote tweets him and says, bring the bus
Speaker 2: down to A and m I'm just thinking, bro, sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you do you think the bus to A
Speaker 4: and m oh?
Speaker 2: I like, are we trying to travel the bus? Probably not,
Speaker 2: But go down and say, you know, sit down with
Speaker 2: Trev and try to get try to have the conversation
Speaker 2: about all this stuff. Yeah, absolutely we should. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: if he's down to talk about it, like you know,
Speaker 2: at that when you're at that high of a level,
Speaker 2: Like there's so many different political games that are involved
Speaker 2: that you could some things you can talk about, some
Speaker 2: things you can't.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's just but.
Speaker 2: I do feel like we could ask the questions on
Speaker 2: behalf of you know, the and everything else, like say
Speaker 2: all these same things that we're kind of talking about
Speaker 2: and try to like pick his brain on, like yo,
Speaker 2: what why?
Speaker 4: It would be a great interview to do and then
Speaker 4: have fan questions like Nebraska questions, ye, like ten of them,
Speaker 4: just saying there ways if it's a press conference also, yeah,
Speaker 4: so the fans can understand why he did leave because
Speaker 4: that is a wild move, wild mood sign in November
Speaker 4: and then four months later leave after saying this is
Speaker 4: the dream job, this is what I want and make
Speaker 4: a lateral moved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a Husker legend. I'm talking like he
Speaker 2: was drafted what I think he was drafted the top
Speaker 2: ten nice the Colts as an inside backer, Like he
Speaker 2: was a stud All American. This was the job played
Speaker 2: at Nebraska.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he left the break How much more
Speaker 4: money did he get?
Speaker 2: I mean, we're competing with oil money. But his raise
Speaker 2: was he had a he got a massive raise when
Speaker 2: he signed his extension in orders Nebraska.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of money that flows through Nebraska. That's
Speaker 4: what the whole state's about, is Nebraska football or Nebraska sports.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there must be just a lot of disagreement over
Speaker 2: some issues that they and just be like no this,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and jump ship. Not jump ship,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go ahead and get out of here.
Speaker 2: Which people have the reaction that they have rightfully. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean people, just fans have the right to be mad.
Speaker 4: If you're in Nebraska, you should absolutely be mad about
Speaker 4: the situation. You want the best guys in the seats, Yeah,
Speaker 4: to give the most success to your program and the
Speaker 4: good The best thing I heard in that whole thing
Speaker 4: you said was that Matt Rules seems like he has
Speaker 4: more leadership and who comes in next, because you want
Speaker 4: to make sure the head football coach and the AD
Speaker 4: are aligned in their views.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: As long as that is the case, they're gonna be
Speaker 4: all right. Because my worry is not knowing the president
Speaker 4: and the politics that you just explained to me. I
Speaker 4: would think if that was all taken care of, they
Speaker 4: would find the next AD without really going to anybody
Speaker 4: else for like ego reasons or they think they know best.
Speaker 4: That person doesn't align with Rule, and then it makes
Speaker 4: a hard road for Rule to be successful in Nebraska,
Speaker 4: right right, right when, even though I'm not a corn Husker,
Speaker 4: I'm a fan of Rule. I want him to be successful.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope LeBlanc gets it. I mean he's been there.
Speaker 2: You talk about you want to stable peace at the nembrassa.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna do what just happened.
Speaker 4: Yet two decades and somebody who's sat with every athlete
Speaker 4: that you're a fan of at Nebraska, who sat with
Speaker 4: every athlete signed them up for classes, talk to the parents,
Speaker 4: said the recruiting stuff, like, he's the academic guy.
Speaker 2: You go and sit with on the recruiting business. He's
Speaker 2: there day one, all the way until the end, making
Speaker 2: sure you're getting all your all your shit right, keeping
Speaker 2: guys eligible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Randy Gregory, he had to handle that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he had to handle that. Yeah, damn, it'll
Speaker 2: be interesting.
Speaker 4: That would be definitely interesting to see. But yeah, the bracket, dude.
Speaker 2: I did tell LeBlanc, I said, your first one of
Speaker 2: these projects you have to get done. You gotta give
Speaker 2: you court sight for this A and M game on Friday.
Speaker 2: He last he said, I don't know if I get,
Speaker 2: of course out, but I'll I'll try my best, brother,
Speaker 2: you will get your good tickets. And then I was like,
Speaker 2: you gotta work like you're trying to get me a
Speaker 2: business Calcuno four because that was a time back in
Speaker 2: the day, trying to get sneak me in this class.
Speaker 2: But I'm for him.
Speaker 4: Good recall on that was a I think the basketball team.
Speaker 4: I was looking at Obraska basketball on Twitter and they
Speaker 4: had a tweet that said if we die, we die,
Speaker 4: and it's just like you really are. Well yeah, but
Speaker 4: he's like he said, and then you might want Yeah
Speaker 4: he said it, you took it and turned it into something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm definitely I would definitely helped magnify that for sure.
Speaker 4: But you can't. You can't teach, You can't coach. Are
Speaker 4: you the most famous guy in Nebraska?
Speaker 2: No, you got Warren Buffett. I don't know. If you
Speaker 2: want to do University of Nebraska.
Speaker 4: You might be the most famous person in Nebraska history.
Speaker 2: No, there's there's many more.
Speaker 4: Most influential right now in this moment.
Speaker 2: For sports, maybe most influential right now.
Speaker 4: I'll take that that sounds but.
Speaker 2: As far as most, as far as the most famous.
Speaker 4: Nobody, Tom Osborne, no dethroning Tom Warren Buffett at the
Speaker 4: Bassador's Degreebraska.
Speaker 2: Lincoln Baby turning them out, Yeah, Warren Buffett, Tom Osbourne. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean you.

Speaker 2: Ross, Jordan Burrows, Olympian.
Speaker 8: I mean you got where do you will?
Speaker 2: Where do you think he had to let go?
Speaker 4: He top twenty five?
Speaker 7: To me, where do we think will?
Speaker 13: Where does Will fall in its top one hundred Nebraska
Speaker 13: notable alumni?
Speaker 4: We're at ten right now.
Speaker 8: And he is on this list?
Speaker 2: Hey, what year is this? What year was this made? What?
Speaker 4: That's a good that's a that's a good question. Let's
Speaker 4: see published twenty twenty four? Yeah, this was published, like
Speaker 4: this is your.
Speaker 2: Number one?
Speaker 4: Ross?
Speaker 2: Is there? Then?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Oh Johnny Carson, Yeah, we're rocking, all right, they got
Speaker 13: they already got you to humbly too, low will Humbly.
Speaker 2: I'll say out not not on the list? Am I
Speaker 2: on the list?
Speaker 4: Hold on?
Speaker 2: Go back up?
Speaker 4: Tom Osbourne's what number? Tom Osborne's eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hard.
Speaker 8: Let me get will F four five.
Speaker 4: There was my top twenty five. Who's Zach Miller? Go
Speaker 4: back up?
Speaker 2: Are these more famous Nebraska or that went to Nebraska.
Speaker 8: It's probably from Nebraska.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Zach Miller. I don't I didn't
Speaker 2: think was a corn Husker.
Speaker 4: You are right, man, they got snuck out.
Speaker 2: Thank god.
Speaker 13: That brother alumni from the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
Speaker 2: I've tripping on the Zach Miller.
Speaker 4: I don't even know who Zach Miller is. James Valentine
Speaker 4: all right, he's forty, so it would have been four
Speaker 4: year time.
Speaker 8: Zach Miller went to University of Nebraska Omaha.
Speaker 2: This is Nebraska Lincoln. But Jordan Larson is a stud
Speaker 2: I just saw.
Speaker 4: Her on slow down Slow okay, like a lot of places.
Speaker 2: Barry Alvarez, Greg Bowl, that's who. That's who we met.
Speaker 2: We've met Craig Bowl after the Wyoming game.
Speaker 4: Adrian Martinez is uptually kree Blakeman ejected me from a
Speaker 4: football game one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Adrian Martinez and Andy Janno over Rex Burkehead. Has
Speaker 2: Rex not been on there? Come on, man, you know
Speaker 2: who's making this list, Michael Spencer Long, Spencer Long getting
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 4: You're more notable than Spencer though, no disrespect Spencer.
Speaker 2: Trey Palmer more notable.
Speaker 4: Will Compton, Jared Craig, Jared Craig, hold on time out, Jared,
Speaker 4: This is wrong, Jared Craik.
Speaker 2: The fact that Rex Burkhead has not been on here
Speaker 2: yet is insane. A mirrab Doula, tell me a mirab
Speaker 2: Doula isn't over Trey Palmer. No disrespect to Trey Palmer.
Speaker 2: Damn Will.
Speaker 4: That. I think that list is massively flawed. I mean
Speaker 4: Jared Crick Taylor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's no shot at the boy. Jared kind of.
Speaker 4: I played against him. What he wasn't a notable person
Speaker 4: on the scouting report. I'll say that he was still
Speaker 4: he was still good.
Speaker 2: He was still a solid brother.
Speaker 4: When he was on Houston and you had Jared Crick
Speaker 4: him versus Jadeveon Clowney j J. Watt, Jared Creek was
Speaker 4: a playoff. No disrespect.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're talking about Jadeveon Clowney and j Jon
Speaker 2: you're Will Compton. Yeah, yeah, I'm not talking in the
Speaker 2: football world. Jared crushed it at Nebraska. He was a
Speaker 2: I think I think he yeah, but Jered went like
Speaker 2: second round, I see what you mean. Like when you're
Speaker 2: game planning, like Jared's not going to be I'm not
Speaker 2: saying he's a top guy over there. He was.
Speaker 4: He was a two gapper that was relatively easy to
Speaker 4: move inside.
Speaker 2: Right, No, but they.
Speaker 4: Would run a lot of five down and a lot
Speaker 4: of bare fronts. Was to kick him out to like
Speaker 4: if we run even double bracket in Nebraska, he's taking
Speaker 4: on two gappers with the easiest people to block and
Speaker 4: less you're three and sixty pounds.
Speaker 2: Right, because they're not disruptive and trying.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, if you run inside zoning it's two gabbers.
Speaker 4: It's much more difficult because the outside zone concept that
Speaker 4: we have, Yeah, because they get linebackers all the tackles
Speaker 4: and they essentially help you with your reads everywhere. But
Speaker 4: if you're running outside zone against two gappers, it makes
Speaker 4: it so much easier to reach them and catch leverage
Speaker 4: and get them on an angle as opposed to the
Speaker 4: inside zone two gappers and the other offense we were
Speaker 4: into the Titans the last couple of years was like
Speaker 4: like praise the Lord, Yeah, that's what you want because
Speaker 4: when you're two gaping two, you're a lot tighter, like
Speaker 4: you're like you're you're like a two, yeah, you're or
Speaker 4: like a tight three. Yeah, you're you're more tight, and
Speaker 4: you're also stepping latterly with the direction that the offensive
Speaker 4: lineman steps. So if I'm if I'm going at a
Speaker 4: forty five gre angle vertic, like forty five degree angle running,
Speaker 4: you've got to step with me. And I already got
Speaker 4: the edge with you because I'm into you before you're
Speaker 4: into me, so I can turn your shoulders a whole
Speaker 4: lot faster.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, head of traders.
Speaker 4: Fuck, pantry is just collision all day and just to
Speaker 4: hope you win the point of contact the most with
Speaker 4: the best leverage.
Speaker 2: Right. That was our Nebraska March madness talk.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess, Yeah, who do you have winning the tournament?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll probably go the way. I was always a
Speaker 2: handsbro guy since he came out of Missouri. So I'll
Speaker 2: probably go un seed just because I see that they
Speaker 2: are one seed, and I'll probably just ride them and
Speaker 2: just be like all North Carolina.
Speaker 4: I gotta look at a little bit more. But Yukon's a
Speaker 4: one seed, right.
Speaker 2: Yukon's the highest percentage right now, then I'll I'll think
Speaker 2: you call the bracket. I'll think you have the highest
Speaker 2: percentage of winning. I think it goes like Yukon Houston UNC.
Speaker 2: Who's the other one per Due?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I saw them. They're a three seed, right
Speaker 4: who you're a two seed?
Speaker 2: Who you gotta win it at all?
Speaker 8: South Carolina.
Speaker 9: The last time I won a bracket was twenty seventeen
Speaker 9: because I had South Carolina winning at all.
Speaker 8: We made it to the final four. Have lost ever since.
Speaker 2: Then, but not this Carolina ever won an Eddie.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 2: I love that You're just picking South Carolina Arizona the
Speaker 2: little bracket.
Speaker 4: If I'm trying to win, I gotta because of South
Speaker 4: Carolina does make a run, and I don't have them
Speaker 4: on my bracket.
Speaker 8: I can't live with myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'll have Nebraska. I'll have Nebraska beating Houston,
Speaker 2: but that's probably as far as I'll go with them,
Speaker 2: unless in my brain I get Wisconsin getting there over Duke.
Speaker 2: Then I'll go in Nebraska over Wisconsin. You never know.
Speaker 2: I might play with the mental gymnastics to where this
Speaker 2: is the best route for Nebraska to win it all.
Speaker 4: I have no doubt that will happen, zero doubt.
Speaker 2: Or know why. I kind of want to go on
Speaker 2: the app so that way we can have a couple entries,
Speaker 2: so I can have Nebraska win it at all one
Speaker 2: of them. Yeah, let's talk about March Mania. Drafting sports
Speaker 2: Book one of America's top rated sportsbook apps. It's giving
Speaker 2: new customers a shot to turn five bucks into one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars instantly in bonus bets with any
Speaker 2: college basketball bet. North Carolina listeners, don't forget. Draftking Sportsbook
Speaker 2: is now live in your state. This is, guys, the pinnacle,
Speaker 2: the peak of sports betting. This week. Everyone talks about it.
Speaker 2: They say March Madness when you get the first round
Speaker 2: because you get how many games per day, per day
Speaker 2: and just betting NonStop. This is the time to download
Speaker 2: the Draftking sports Book app. If you don't already have it,
Speaker 2: you can use code bus. You download the Draftking sports
Speaker 2: Book app and use code bus. New customers can bet
Speaker 2: five dollars to get one hundred and fifty dollars instantly
Speaker 2: in bonus bets only at Draftking Sportsbook. With code bus,
Speaker 2: the crown is yours. Maybe the odds forever be in
Speaker 2: your favorite good luck this week. I'm excited to finally
Speaker 2: jump into this and maybe win it all, maybe lose
Speaker 2: it all, but either way, we're gonna We're gonna go
Speaker 2: out fighting. How about Justin Fields? Justin Fields, it's a
Speaker 2: big win into the Steelers.
Speaker 4: I think it's a big win for Justin Fields because
Speaker 4: being chained for a six round pick, right, yeah, six
Speaker 4: rounds that could go up to a fourth conditional they
Speaker 4: could go to. Yeah, I could go to a fourth
Speaker 4: is the biggest slap in the face you could take
Speaker 4: just a few years into your career after being a
Speaker 4: first round draft pick. They essentially getting the stamp of
Speaker 4: being a bust going into a place that is paying
Speaker 4: a guy who's won a Super Bowl one point nine
Speaker 4: million dollars.
Speaker 2: There's no there's no.
Speaker 4: Loyalty in who should be the starter when it goes
Speaker 4: to camp. So the Steelers have already come out and
Speaker 4: they've said Russell Wilson's our guy, this is our quarterback.
Speaker 4: Bah blah blah. They probably told Russell Wilson this when
Speaker 4: they were going to where they were trying to get
Speaker 4: him to come to the Steelers. But the reality is
Speaker 4: is like, unless it's in writing that you're one hundred
Speaker 4: percent the starter, like you know how handshake deals work
Speaker 4: in the NFL, starter until you're not. So I think
Speaker 4: this is going to be probably the number one news
Speaker 4: when we get to early August, late July about who's
Speaker 4: going to be the starter. I bet you Russell Wilson
Speaker 4: will be the start in the beginning, and I think
Speaker 4: Justin Fields takes over the middle of the year. That's
Speaker 4: how I think happens.
Speaker 2: That's a solid prediction.
Speaker 4: These two dudes are going to both have chips on
Speaker 4: their shoulder.
Speaker 2: Unless and less Russell's playing well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think this is massive for Arthur Smith. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith loves his mobile quarterbacks. Then he's gonna want
Speaker 4: Justin Fields.
Speaker 2: So and what a move for the Steelers. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: you get Russell Wilson Justin Fields for basically a six
Speaker 2: round pick, and then you pay Russell Wilson the minimum
Speaker 2: because Denver's footing the bill for his thirty something million dollars.
Speaker 4: And if you're if you're the Steelers, you're praying that
Speaker 4: Justin Fields comes in and balls the fuck out because
Speaker 4: not old. Now you've got your quarterback for the future.
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. I don't know how much future is in that.
Speaker 4: Get a couple of years of him and then it's
Speaker 4: kind of like, all right, brother sail off of the
Speaker 4: Sunset career. Congratulations, you're out of here. But with Justin Fields,
Speaker 4: he has the ability to come in with great coaching
Speaker 4: that Tomlan has had. Toman is a guy that when
Speaker 4: you have talented people in the room, he makes them.
Speaker 4: He shows their biggest strengths. He has the ability to
Speaker 4: have them be as good as they possibly can be,
Speaker 4: showed ab Bell the running back, their offensive line, Roethlisberger
Speaker 4: like he's done a great job of utilizing his weapons
Speaker 4: and controlling unique personalities. I don't know much about Field's personality,
Speaker 4: but Fields is the guy they want to succeed over
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. If you want the future of the program,
Speaker 4: that's what you want. That's who you want to win
Speaker 4: this battle. Hopefully it's clear cut where Fields comes in,
Speaker 4: balls out, and leaves now. I did see like something
Speaker 4: about so like a bunch of interceptions, Like there's only
Speaker 4: two quarterbacks that had like a certain amount of interceptions
Speaker 4: in the last two years and both of them are
Speaker 4: now the Steelers, So only ways up Boyce Russell Wilson
Speaker 4: stats against the AFC nos or I think some of
Speaker 4: the best ones amongst quarterbacks, amongst active quarterbacks. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: I think I mean field dude running some rbos, running
Speaker 4: some movement out of the pockets. Some Lucy's.
Speaker 2: Can't wait to try and get in this cat's brain
Speaker 2: and figure out the best way to coach.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is the biggest winner. Here is
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith soon to be head coach of a team
Speaker 4: one year from now. Oh no, oh, hey, hey, I
Speaker 4: saw the Caleb Williams a little you're throwing out some
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams love.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, I think I've literally been very clear, like his
Speaker 4: combine was not. Like the way he operated in the
Speaker 4: combine I am not a fan of. But that clip
Speaker 4: you see of him running down field and blocking for
Speaker 4: his guy like a quarterback never does, that's cool as fuck.
Speaker 4: That's the Caleb Williams I want to see. But when
Speaker 4: I see this guy sitting on a podium being like,
Speaker 4: you know, you've got plenty of film on me, Like, bro,
Speaker 4: you're at the combine, throw the fucking ball and do
Speaker 4: the things you're supposed to be doing. As soon to
Speaker 4: be first overall pick that's a shit that pisses me off.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that that that clip against Arizona or is
Speaker 4: it Arizona State? That shit was dope him like thirty
Speaker 4: forty yards downfield, throwing some guy in the bleacher, giving
Speaker 4: himself like the uh, what's the movie The blind Side?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, that shit fired me up. So are you
Speaker 2: coming back around now for Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4: No, I still amount on him right now. I'm still
Speaker 4: out on him right now. But you know, my my
Speaker 4: takes on quarterbacks like this might be that this is
Speaker 4: this is essentially a will come my Kansas City. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you especially might thrust him too the MVP. Yes, next year,
Speaker 4: if Caleb Williams is a success in the NFL, it'll
Speaker 4: be solely because of me.
Speaker 2: When he becomes a success, say as early as this year,
Speaker 2: there's no question that any motivational video you will be
Speaker 2: somewhere in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope so, yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like how they do a little bit, I would love
Speaker 4: that cut.
Speaker 2: Each guy he's he doesn't have what it takes blah
Speaker 2: blah blah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me guy's got a me attitude out, Yes, and
Speaker 4: then I beg him to come on the bus and
Speaker 4: he says, no, damn.
Speaker 2: It, we'll pan her nails. It's so cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's another thing we're doing. Mall we yeah, were
Speaker 4: talking about they just don't make them like they used to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, are you ready? And yeah you guys, you
Speaker 2: guys ready to hit. Okay, that's fine. We're gonna take
Speaker 2: a quick break and when we come back, probably after
Speaker 2: this add read, we will get into the zoom interview
Speaker 2: with Eric Kendricks before we get into the interview we
Speaker 2: did with him out at Vegas in the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: when he was a charger. Now he's a cowboy. But
Speaker 2: more to come. Can you see this? Eric? Can you
Speaker 2: see this? I can?
Speaker 7: What's up?
Speaker 2: What's up? Bro? Hey? Thank you for joining us. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry we've been turn this. Yeah yeah okay, our producers
Speaker 2: going thumbs up to help. Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: Got a kind of holder now, trying to get it
Speaker 7: set up in the car with it.
Speaker 2: No, we appreciate you at where you at right now.
Speaker 2: I'm in La Okay. Yeah. So a last time we
Speaker 2: had you on, we were talking about obviously cars, your
Speaker 2: love for cars growing up with your brother, and then
Speaker 2: your excitement for Harball potentially being a Charger. But now
Speaker 2: you are no longer a Charger. Now you're a Dallas Cowboy?
Speaker 2: How did how did you become a Cowboy?
Speaker 7: Honestly, Uh, it was a crazy process.
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh, everything kind of happened kind of quickly,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, just Zim being there and and
Speaker 1: you know, me, me knowing the defense. I had learned
Speaker 1: two defenses back to back, two years in a row,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to be in a system where I
Speaker 1: could play fast and the middle linebacker. So you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like Charge of the Cowboys was a good
Speaker 1: fit for me.
Speaker 2: Did Zim just get there?
Speaker 7: Zim just got there this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Because d q quinn was the DC before that.
Speaker 2: What weren't you close to going with the Niners? Wasn't
Speaker 2: there a little wasn't there a little story behind you
Speaker 2: almost becoming a Niner? And then you kind of flip
Speaker 2: into the Cowboys, which, by the way, too iconic legendary teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like that's what you know, That's what
Speaker 1: made the decision so hard. I feel like the Niners
Speaker 1: program is a good one and the organization, the staff,
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play with Fred Warner and those guys.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was a hard choice. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like me and Fred Warner played
Speaker 1: the same position, and uh, you know, in order for
Speaker 1: the the you know, to be better for my career
Speaker 1: and to be more comfortable playing in my in my style,
Speaker 1: that way, the way I wanted to play, I feel
Speaker 1: like I had to make the change.
Speaker 4: When you were going through this process and seeing Harball
Speaker 4: as your head coach, You're getting excited about it. You
Speaker 4: talked to us about it, and then how what transpired
Speaker 4: for them when they cut you? Did they bring you in,
Speaker 4: they talked to you. Did you end up meeting with
Speaker 4: horrible at all?
Speaker 7: Yeah? So I went in there. I went in there.
Speaker 1: I wanted to meet the staff and and uh some
Speaker 1: of the some of the guys a while back. I
Speaker 1: went in there, met with them, talk with them, met
Speaker 1: with Navarro a little bit.
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, Bob's were solid.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, anytime you have anytime you have
Speaker 1: a complete changeover, you know a lot of things you
Speaker 1: know are up are up for grabs. And you know,
Speaker 1: I guess I was one of those pieces, you know,
Speaker 1: not not to mention a few other names.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it didn't come as a surprise to you.
Speaker 1: You know, definitely, I feel like I finished the season
Speaker 1: really strong.
Speaker 7: You know, obviously we didn't really play well, but yeah,
Speaker 7: it was a little bit of surprise for sure.
Speaker 4: When you think about being a Dallas Cowboy. Every kid
Speaker 4: who grows up and they think about I've seen other
Speaker 4: players go from one team to the Cowboys and they've said,
Speaker 4: growing up, will you think the NFL is like, that's
Speaker 4: what it's like playing for the Cowboys. How hype are
Speaker 4: you to have a star on the side of your
Speaker 4: helmet and no state income test? Congratulations on more money?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like it all kind of came
Speaker 1: real when I was there and I saw the kind
Speaker 1: of setup and how the facilities are set up. And
Speaker 1: obviously you know that it's a huge market. But you know,
Speaker 1: both the teams that I was kind of considering, we're
Speaker 1: both great markets.
Speaker 7: But you know, we talk about Cowboys.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously you know year that it's America's team
Speaker 1: and things like that, but ultimately, you know the fact
Speaker 1: that you know, Zim was there and the defense that
Speaker 1: I want to play in was there.
Speaker 7: I feel like the stars just a ligne, oh.
Speaker 1: Stars, stars, I got these all day.
Speaker 2: You want, bro, are the facilities just insane?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, especially coming from the Chargers of the
Speaker 7: Chargers are got to get new facilities.
Speaker 1: But you know, Cowboys facilities are are definitely, you know,
Speaker 1: top notch.
Speaker 2: When you're waiting the options between Dallas and the Niners
Speaker 2: and you were talking earlier about you and Fever were
Speaker 2: in the same spot, were they trying to talk to
Speaker 2: you at all about playing next to him?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know that's what I would I would have played.
Speaker 1: I would have played with you know, so to speak,
Speaker 1: and and uh while while Dre Greenlawn was uh nursing
Speaker 1: his achilles. But you know, I didn't want to I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be in a position where you know,
Speaker 1: I was, you know, playing a position the whole year
Speaker 1: and then potentially happen to switch to another position and
Speaker 1: kind of rotating in and out. You know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to be on the field. I wanted to be making
Speaker 1: a difference. I wanted to make an impact. And that's
Speaker 1: why ultimately I had I had to make a change
Speaker 1: for myself.
Speaker 2: You went that Green Dot you a Green Dots shot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: And it's just like, uh, you know, Obviously it was hard.
Speaker 1: It was a hard decision to make because there's such
Speaker 1: a solid squad.
Speaker 7: And such a good organization.
Speaker 1: But you know, I went to another solid squad and
Speaker 1: great organization with great d line, and you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like it was a it was a win win.
Speaker 7: I had to really just like kind of like write.
Speaker 1: Things out and and and pros and cons and and
Speaker 1: and Once I did that, and I you know, I
Speaker 1: had a great talk, great talks with my family and friends.
Speaker 7: It made it very apparent where I should be.
Speaker 4: This is this might be an elementary question, but I
Speaker 4: really don't know the answer. What is the difference between
Speaker 4: Mike and Will as far as like responsibilities except for
Speaker 4: having a green dot? And you guys are both answer this,
Speaker 4: I really don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, Mike, you're just more so. Mike, You're more
Speaker 2: in the action.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Eric, Yeah, Mike you're in the center of everything.
Speaker 1: You know, generally most of the time you're right in
Speaker 1: the center, and you kind of have a balance of
Speaker 1: both worlds on both sides, whereas Will you kind of
Speaker 1: get segmented to a partial side of the thing. And
Speaker 1: I'm used to having kind of everything crossing and mixed matching,
Speaker 1: and I'm used to being off three a little bit,
Speaker 1: where Will you're kind of more off two. Not to
Speaker 1: say that you can't be off two at Mike, but
Speaker 1: it's just the world I've been growing up in. I've
Speaker 1: been playing Mike since I was probably the sixth grade.
Speaker 1: I played one year at Will in college, my freshman year,
Speaker 1: and every other year has been Mike.
Speaker 7: So I think that that would have been you know,
Speaker 7: not to.
Speaker 1: Say I couldn't have learned it and not say that
Speaker 1: it woulded to have been challenging for me, but I
Speaker 1: think that just at this point of my career, I
Speaker 1: want to play fast and I want to play play physical,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to have to think and learn
Speaker 1: a new playbook.
Speaker 7: And it made sense.
Speaker 2: Love that, and you're you're you're a Mic. I mean
Speaker 2: anytime that I would have to go and play the
Speaker 2: Will like I honestly hated it, like you would. Mentally,
Speaker 2: it's not that hard of a switch, because again, like
Speaker 2: he said, you're playing more off two versus three. But
Speaker 2: when you're the Will too, you can be you know,
Speaker 2: you're a little bit more vulnerable, You're a little more
Speaker 2: susceptible to me. Okay, they want I gotta fucking walk
Speaker 2: out of the box. Like me personally, I'm always wanting
Speaker 2: to be just in the center and dropping off three
Speaker 2: and and again if if Eric, like you're saying, like
Speaker 2: you played your entire career, there's no need to try
Speaker 2: and you know, make some switch or make some jump,
Speaker 2: especially when you got your zim who you've been familiar with.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long you're with them in Minnesota,
Speaker 2: but you know that playbook inside out. I mean I
Speaker 2: think the cover some of the cover.
Speaker 4: Three is a little bizarre, but you know that you
Speaker 4: know the Zimber play exactly.
Speaker 7: No, exactly.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like, uh, just just like
Speaker 1: you said, you know, I just I know the playbook.
Speaker 1: I played in this system for seven years, had some
Speaker 1: of my best years there, and you know, just it
Speaker 1: just felt right once I made the decision, I think
Speaker 1: it's not for.
Speaker 4: A little clickbait city. Do you give me your expectations
Speaker 4: for the Dallas Cowboys this season?
Speaker 1: Man, I needed to get to get to know my teammates,
Speaker 1: get to learn. But you know, I played against them
Speaker 1: last year and you know they they're very clutch.
Speaker 2: Very clutch, very clutch.
Speaker 4: See, there's arguments out there that the Cowboys that's the
Speaker 4: issue they have is they're not very clutch.
Speaker 1: A lot of talent, I mean, uh, a lot of talent,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, I think you just
Speaker 1: look at the you know, you know it's the NFL.
Speaker 7: You know, people come to play for sure, but I.
Speaker 1: Think that they you know, getting to the next level
Speaker 1: is what you want obviously as a program, and that's
Speaker 1: what you know, we got to do in Dallas. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just look at their overall record, you know,
Speaker 1: and these NFL games come down to the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: every time. So when you have a good record, generally
Speaker 1: that means you're you're doing well in those fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: those fourth quarter crunch time situations, situational football, you know,
Speaker 1: when when the money is online, you know you're winning
Speaker 1: those games.
Speaker 2: Dude, that third down package is about to be crazy,
Speaker 2: see with all the with all the cats and talent
Speaker 2: that they have, because you can do so many different things.
Speaker 2: Like because I was with Gunther in Oakland and so
Speaker 2: he kind of hit. He was with ZIM for a
Speaker 2: long time, so those those third down packages are crazy.
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about with the horses that they got
Speaker 2: in Dallas, like Zim's gonna be so, yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 2: have fun out, Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 4: When you when you think about playing with a guy
Speaker 4: like Michael Parsons, who is it seems like he doesn't
Speaker 4: have any gap Responsibility's allowed to do whatever the hell
Speaker 4: he wants based on where he lines up as a linebacker.
Speaker 4: Does that stress you out at all knowing that you
Speaker 4: might have to cover the gap gap?
Speaker 1: No, I feel like I feel like just just knowing
Speaker 1: where like, you know, knowing where he's at, and you
Speaker 1: have to know your your own responsibility first and foremost.
Speaker 1: But when you have a guy like that, you know,
Speaker 1: it puts less pressure on you and more pressure on
Speaker 1: the offense. So anytime you have them thinking fast and us,
Speaker 1: you know, covering, covering on our end, that's that's always
Speaker 1: a good situation, you know, especially when it's like a
Speaker 1: little bit of an organized chaos, that's what you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it, brother, Hey, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 2: We whenever we saw you went to Dallas, we were
Speaker 2: kind of like we were kind of like, oh, ship,
Speaker 2: we should try and get e back on since we
Speaker 2: interviewed him and he was a full blown charger talking
Speaker 2: about hardball coming, so we appreciate you coming in. What uh,

Speaker 4: He's like, we'll just do the next thing. He understands
Speaker 4: the business, just gonna.

Speaker 2: San fran if he's got a potentially like hey, you
Speaker 2: gotta know boats, they're gonna start out a will and
Speaker 2: then when Greenlaw comes back, because green Law's a stud
Speaker 2: so I'm sure.
Speaker 4: But for a lot of people is like, h yeah,
Speaker 4: it could be the Yeah, Achilles are no in.
Speaker 2: Time, Like he's a cat that's so proven that he
Speaker 2: gets to go into a situation with Zim who he
Speaker 2: was with for seven years, like you know, the defense
Speaker 2: inside and out, and that late in your career and
Speaker 2: like Dallas and your coach is there. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: Easy endorsement deals, all that stuff. It's gonna be very
Speaker 4: worth it.

Speaker 7: Who that's all right?
Speaker 4: JP, what's your shout out? No free shout out?
Speaker 8: I shout out? No free shout out.
Speaker 9: Really it was something that pissed me off, So I'm
Speaker 9: just gonna flip it and choose the opposite of it.
Speaker 9: But uh, you know, like when people in their backyards
Speaker 9: they have like stones like a walkway, but they're never
Speaker 9: spaced properly, so you know, you want to step on
Speaker 9: each one when you're walking, and there never are so
Speaker 9: shout out, no free shout out to the to the
Speaker 9: stones that are space properly in people's backyards that I'm
Speaker 9: not trying to I'm not tiptoeing through their backyard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, outside the box.
Speaker 2: I like that. My shout out, no free shout out
Speaker 2: goes to the game you play in the sink. Get
Speaker 2: your little sprayer. You're doing your dishes, you're cleaning off place,
Speaker 2: and you see food, you see whatever it is on
Speaker 2: the bottom or on the floor of the sink, and
Speaker 2: you take that little sprayer and you just kind of
Speaker 2: spray the edge just because you're trying to circle it
Speaker 2: up and you're trying to get everything and get it
Speaker 2: into the drain.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys do that. I have
Speaker 4: fun with it literally every day.
Speaker 2: Actually tell Charles, like, one thing you'll never have to
Speaker 2: worry with me about is making sure the bottom of
Speaker 2: the sink is clean because I'm always trying to. Whenever
Speaker 2: I get done doing the dishes and i just see
Speaker 2: the food, I'm like, oh, that's gonna be hell of
Speaker 2: a game. Or there might be some silverware or a
Speaker 2: plate in the way to where you gotta kind of
Speaker 2: you gotta kind of go back and forth around it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: make sure you get that food.
Speaker 4: Out, water wave it out a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, But that's that's my shot. I no
Speaker 2: free shotout goes to the sink game.
Speaker 4: I think that's a uniquely thing in men, is seeing
Speaker 4: debris of food and a sink and knowing that I'm
Speaker 4: gonna take I'm gonna handle this. I'm gonna do it
Speaker 4: for my family, I'm gonna do for the world being
Speaker 4: of the whole entire house. Yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 4: My shout out if he shadow goes to an individual,
Speaker 4: and that individual will be Ira Joey Singleton, who spent
Speaker 4: the last week in Nashville, Tennessee, very busy schedule, getting
Speaker 4: home kids. Then all of a sudden, we're doing other things,
Speaker 4: people calling all that he's supposed to do, all these tattoos,
Speaker 4: and I end up not getting a tattoo until my
Speaker 4: kids go to sleep, and it happens like four or
Speaker 4: five days in a row. Ends up doing my entire
Speaker 4: left arm, which has been kind of vacant for a
Speaker 4: long time. And I had that that crummy tribal that
Speaker 4: I've been removing and then quit removing and to decide
Speaker 4: to slap some tattoos on top of it. I love
Speaker 4: the way it turned out. I love the spacing. I'm
Speaker 4: obsessed with it. And there's something special about having a
Speaker 4: tattoo artist staying in your house toward At any point,
Speaker 4: I just like, hey, Joey, let's go do this thing
Speaker 4: right now. And he goes slaps it on and does it,
Speaker 4: and not just every time he comes in. I'm just
Speaker 4: I'm a different human being. Every time you love your tats,
Speaker 4: I love them.
Speaker 2: They come up perfect.
Speaker 4: I mean probably not perfect, but I love them. I
Speaker 4: think they're I even have ones that I really didn't
Speaker 4: expect to get and then I saw it and I
Speaker 4: kind of he put the placement on. I was like,
Speaker 4: all right, kind of.
Speaker 2: He kind of draws him up, he kind of makes it,
Speaker 2: shows it to you, and you're like that, yeah, those
Speaker 2: are sick.
Speaker 4: So yeah, how Joey and I work now, because he's
Speaker 4: done so many of my tattoos is I'll be like, hey,
Speaker 4: I want to get my leg done and he'll just
Speaker 4: be like, okay, this is what you have, and you're like,
Speaker 4: now this is what I think. We'll good with it
Speaker 4: and then I'll pick out like two or three, like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I like those two three, I don't like this, Oh
Speaker 4: I like this one, but change X, Y and Z.
Speaker 4: And then I'll obviously I'll get on my my Pinterest
Speaker 4: game and find like different stuff that I like. So
Speaker 4: there was on my biceps inside arm, I have like
Speaker 4: an eagle fighting a snake and it's just American traditional
Speaker 4: type of tattoo. And I had never thought i'd want
Speaker 4: an eagle fighting a snake. And then he slapped it
Speaker 4: on there and I have that's where I have like
Speaker 4: this is the old warrior guy and a little more tribal,
Speaker 4: kind of still exposed, and it just covered it up great.
Speaker 4: And I love I love the tattoo. I love the
Speaker 4: way it looks from a distance. I like how it's
Speaker 4: very it's very easy to tell what's what when you
Speaker 4: get up close. It's just I'm a huge fan of
Speaker 4: the sleep, huge fan of it. No like, no filler,
Speaker 4: it's just like pictures, just stickers all across my arm
Speaker 4: and I love it. Yeah, he didn't bring up he
Speaker 4: goes will Is will anti tattoo guy, and I was like,
Speaker 4: I don't think he's anti tattoo. He just doesn't want
Speaker 4: a tattoo difference. Yeah, so, but there's a free tattoo
Speaker 4: if you ever want one looming in the distance. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like my mind's stabbled with the thought of it
Speaker 4: a couple of times, but none they.
Speaker 2: Got very far.
Speaker 4: I'm a guy that either has none or like too many,
Speaker 4: and I'm a vest I think I've already passed the
Speaker 4: too many part, but i am I just can't have
Speaker 4: like that one classic white guy Celtic cross on the shoulder.
Speaker 4: I'd have like my whole entire body done or none.
Speaker 2: Right, Like, if I did anything, it would be a sleep.
Speaker 4: I think you look hard with the sleeve, brother, but
Speaker 4: it would be such a weird change to see with
Speaker 4: the sleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, truly, no doubt.
Speaker 4: If you had to do a sleeve, what do you
Speaker 4: think the idea would be? Like, what would be your clue?
Speaker 2: There'd be wolves involved? Yeah, we all know that.
Speaker 4: Would you go more realism or traditional or what kind
Speaker 4: of stuff? When you know what that means when you
Speaker 4: mean like realism very traditional? So yeah, pulpa realism tattoo,
Speaker 4: So that's realism. So something a little more exciting though, Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's a wolf of realism tattoo right there, so very detailed.
Speaker 4: That looks like the out of my picture.
Speaker 2: I might do something.
Speaker 4: So those are very cool. Those are very cool. The
Speaker 4: issue with those tattoos is ten twenty years from now,
Speaker 4: they're going to pack a ball of mush. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: they go hard though. I want to do my whole
Speaker 4: entire left leg. I want to do the Max Crosby
Speaker 4: Anesthesia have like five tattoo artists. I do my lef.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's American traditional, well maybe a little neo traditional,
Speaker 4: but there you go. They're exciting. I'm sure we'll have
Speaker 4: some reference points for you guys, not just to hear
Speaker 4: me say that's what that is.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the tag game. Cody's got some tats. But
Speaker 2: like again, it's it's hard to just get a couple
Speaker 2: of tattoos. If you're going to be a tap person,
Speaker 2: you got to be a tap person.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm fully and.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be in the just having like two or
Speaker 2: three at different parts of my body.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, here, this one, this one, that one
Speaker 4: for that one. That's for the ladies. Yeah, ladies get
Speaker 4: the little tattoos everywhere. Yeah, Jackie's got his sleep coming
Speaker 4: together a little bit, and there's rumors Joey was mentioning
Speaker 4: that Jack was mentioning.
Speaker 2: A back Oh.
Speaker 13: I told Taylor and Joey, I say the same joke
Speaker 13: every time, but it's true. I have to be in
Speaker 13: a committed relationship to have a back tattoo. Or also,
Speaker 13: I'm like asking my boys to because there's the Africa
Speaker 13: that goes into it. I can't have like my boy
Speaker 13: lathering my back up for two weeks straight.
Speaker 2: So I need to find a girlfriend. So she gotta
Speaker 2: get a chick.
Speaker 13: I'm gonna kick a friend so I can get it
Speaker 13: back that too.
Speaker 4: Here you go.
Speaker 2: Oh, we'll have to give her this clip when day
Speaker 2: when that girlfriend happens, so she knows like you're kind
Speaker 2: of just a playsetter right now. Eventually, eventually yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll know where you're staying with this tattoo heels.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how you'll be able to
Speaker 2: dt R. Hmmm, I had I was thinking of something else.
Speaker 2: I forgot what it was.
Speaker 4: What do I have to do with buddy?
Speaker 8: Something with your sink.
Speaker 9: What I enjoy when I'm cleaning the dishes is when
Speaker 9: you use the this show for the first time and
Speaker 9: you flip it back over and you give it that
Speaker 9: little pump and all the bubbles coming out.
Speaker 8: I lie it every time.
Speaker 4: You guys have a wire brush and your sink. No,
Speaker 4: So there's like there's like the sponge right that everyone house,
Speaker 4: and then then there's the level up where it's like
Speaker 4: a handle with a bristle that you wash it off.
Speaker 4: Then there's like this sponge, but it's like wire sponge,
Speaker 4: and so it's like more it's just rougher brother. That
Speaker 4: thing like cooking eggs in the morning. You get some
Speaker 4: eggs in the pot and then all of a sudden
Speaker 4: you just you don't clean it right then and there
Speaker 4: you come back to it a few hours later, it's
Speaker 4: like impossible to get it off there. Not for the
Speaker 4: wire brush, dude. This thing is like the ultimate, like
Speaker 4: because when I'm doing dishes, I like to think of myself.
Speaker 4: I'm like kind of going war a little bit. I
Speaker 4: start off with my infiltry. Guys, I show up with
Speaker 4: the basic sponge, and then all right, these guys can't
Speaker 4: handle it. Let's bring in the other boy. So I
Speaker 4: bring in the bristle, and then finally my napalm, My
Speaker 4: my nuclear missile is that wire brushell wired sponge, and
Speaker 4: it is it hasn't seen a task, it hasn't been
Speaker 4: able to complete yet. It's incredible.
Speaker 2: I have to use something with a handle. I'm just
Speaker 2: not a big just touching them. I just I fucking
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, I can't do it.
Speaker 4: I see. I'm I mean all in or all out.
Speaker 2: Guy.
Speaker 4: Like, if I'm gonna do the dishes, and i have
Speaker 4: a lot of dishes to get done, I kind of
Speaker 4: just put my hands in it and get my hands
Speaker 4: kind of gross with it. So I'm like, all right,
Speaker 4: now you're just in it. I'm using my hands to clean,
Speaker 4: and I'm using cowl, I'm using whatever.
Speaker 2: It could be. The move I like to I like
Speaker 2: to do the dishes like clean walk cooking. So that way,
Speaker 2: that way, that way, whenever you're done eating, you're not
Speaker 2: looking at a bunch of dishes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in a perfect world, that's the move. I'm a
Speaker 4: big if tailing cooks. I clean and vice versa. Good
Speaker 4: news is I don't cook, so I'm not up there.
Speaker 4: That The cleaning part, though, after you have a full belly, dude,
Speaker 4: is just kind of tough because you just want to
Speaker 4: go sit and just chill after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Charlie cooking, I'll be, hey, are you
Speaker 2: doing this? You're done with the can I get this?
Speaker 4: Oh you're like that just kitchen?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah yeah, so your boy. I'll be I'll
Speaker 2: be spraying. I'll be wiping it down with the paper towels,
Speaker 2: the little smell good stuff.
Speaker 4: I think that fully just is whatever mood I'm in
Speaker 4: because I've been in that situation. But more times than not,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm gonna have to handle all that later
Speaker 4: and just kind of stare at it and be like, fuck,
Speaker 4: it's a lot of dishes, all right, I guess we'll
Speaker 4: deal with that, Warren a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, oh man, this is a big meal.
Speaker 2: I better get going.
Speaker 4: You do want to know a little a little tip though,
Speaker 4: organizing your dishwasher before you clean it. That is a
Speaker 4: huge win. So like if you put your all the spoons,
Speaker 4: put them all in one little area, all the knives
Speaker 4: in one little area, and the same plates of the
Speaker 4: same size, stack, b bake and then go the next size.
Speaker 4: Because a lot of times we've all been there. Usually
Speaker 4: you just kind of put the plates in where they
Speaker 4: fit in. But if you take just a little extra
Speaker 4: time to organize it when you're emptying that dishwasher. Dude,
Speaker 4: it's so much faster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, much faster.
Speaker 8: I think the majority everyone does.
Speaker 2: I ain't even know. I was like, oh yeah, organized.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone, yeah, ok, because I don't.
Speaker 2: I kind of have the bigger plates and the yeah,
Speaker 2: the scalet maybe if you want to put it in there.
Speaker 2: If you don't want to, just clean it in the sink.
Speaker 2: But that's for like the back.
Speaker 4: Oh you organize your dishwasher every single time? Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: oh shit, I guess I'm just now getting thank you
Speaker 4: guys for the tip. That was fucking awesome. Man, thank you.
Speaker 2: You said that organized. I was like, oh what, and
Speaker 2: then you started explaining. I'm just thinking, oh, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 4: So I do that already. That's pret what til I
Speaker 4: have it for a second.
Speaker 2: Damn you put cups on the bottom. No, Okay, that
Speaker 2: was just a question. I didn't know.
Speaker 4: Organization's like a big yetdy cup or something like that,
Speaker 4: the one that won't fit on the top.
Speaker 2: Shelf, right if you push it in there and get
Speaker 2: like mushed down and you kind of get pissed and
Speaker 2: just times.
Speaker 4: I'm a big no pots and pants in the dishwasher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't. We don't. We did we take care
Speaker 2: of that this? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You handle that, you hand wash those boys?
Speaker 2: I probably would, but the miss she's like, let you know,
Speaker 2: let's get that sponge to it.
Speaker 13: It's been you can't wash good cutlery, pots and pans,
Speaker 13: never cutting boards in the diasher.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got a big, a big one that bothers
Speaker 9: me and people are either one of the other way.
Speaker 9: When you put your silver are into the dishwasher, do
Speaker 9: you put it with the say, your fork.
Speaker 8: Do you put the spike side up or do you
Speaker 8: put it down spike?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 7: Bro?
Speaker 2: No? Why disgusting?
Speaker 9: Because when you're going to pick out your somewhere and
Speaker 9: put it back in, you're just grabbing where everybody eats from.
Speaker 4: That's that's a little that's a little bunch man.
Speaker 8: That's not a little much.
Speaker 4: There's a handle on it for a reason.
Speaker 13: You put it where you grab the handle right, It's
Speaker 13: gonna get clean, no matter if it's three inches.
Speaker 2: Hey, So I I agree with that line of thinking.
Speaker 2: I agree with that line of thinking. Oh I like
Speaker 2: just putting it down or dropping them in there? The
Speaker 2: reason ours is a forks up and ship there's like
Speaker 2: individual slots in there, so I couldn't go I couldn't
Speaker 2: go fork down in it.
Speaker 4: I don't like that.
Speaker 2: So it's like ice here.
Speaker 13: What you mean is there like a little space on
Speaker 13: top though, where you can almost flip up like a
Speaker 13: small lid where it has the placements in there that's
Speaker 13: right right.
Speaker 2: Right right right to where it's got that little lid
Speaker 2: to where it's like it's clammed down and you kind
Speaker 2: of just we kind of just dropping. But I agree
Speaker 2: with that, Hey, it's gonna get cleaned whether it's facing
Speaker 2: up or down. I almost feel like people got them
Speaker 2: face one up. They just have the thing in their
Speaker 2: head to where they feel like it's not going to
Speaker 2: get cleaned if it's not like.
Speaker 8: Exposed, right, which is crazy. You're dirty though.
Speaker 4: I saw stay on Instagram that if you take aluminum foil,
Speaker 4: crump it up in a ball and then put it
Speaker 4: with your civilware, eat it, chew it, it makes uh,
Speaker 4: it makes everything more like you know how you sometimes
Speaker 4: you get out in there's like water spots and stuff
Speaker 4: on your takes all the water spots away. I saw
Speaker 4: that yesterday, so I tried it. I'll let you guys
Speaker 4: know this afternoon.
Speaker 2: It would be a good little tip.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it might be.
Speaker 2: If you get ever chewed foil.
Speaker 8: Yes, no, but you told us about this hey pain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that shit is real. It's literally getting electric.

Speaker 2: the perfect alcohol average for game day, whether tail getting
Speaker 2: in the parking lot, watching at a bar, watching with

Speaker 4: All right, we're on a something, yep.
Speaker 10: And so you go down and you start doing it.
Speaker 10: Does it feel more like you're getting your dick sucked?
Speaker 10: Or does it feel more like your sucking dick?
Speaker 2: More like your sucking dick?
Speaker 11: Trust me, maybe we might want to do another question,
Speaker 11: just because I don't know. Twist is gonna want this
Speaker 11: as the question. I mean, baby, that's all you have.
Speaker 4: Mitch, you had no backups.
Speaker 7: I thought, good question, He's.
Speaker 2: He's in his house. No, you think you guys know
Speaker 2: that you gotta go try to y'all know that position.
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't.
Speaker 4: You hear the rumors about Marilyn Manson.

Speaker 4: times trying see how close you could get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one or two is putting it lightly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just trying. You know, everybody else feel comfortable.
Speaker 2: But once I once I could, Like the first time,
Speaker 2: I just thought to myself, Okay, this is gonna be
Speaker 2: like training a muscle. I just gotta keep showing.
Speaker 7: Do you want to do a different one?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 10: Yes, this is nowhere near like that one. This comes
Speaker 10: from my buddy Davey. If you what would you rather
Speaker 10: try and hit one hundred mile an hour fastball or
Speaker 10: one hundred and ten mile an hour tennis serve tennis surf?
Speaker 7: What do you think you could hit?
Speaker 4: Oh, I've never like, I couldn't put myself in the
Speaker 4: spot of one hundred and ten on our tennis ball.
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna say baseball, Like I think I
Speaker 2: could take it yard.
Speaker 9: We could set that up in Nashville. There's a protests
Speaker 9: play of the list here.
Speaker 2: It could be funny on Sunday and ten Can he
Speaker 2: hit it one hundred and ten?
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 4: I feel like dudes consistently.
Speaker 9: Hit yeah, Tenny Sangrine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be sick. I think that would be I
Speaker 2: think hitting a tennis ball would be hard.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you got more you got more surface
Speaker 4: area with the rat I think it's a farther distance too, right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, cover more ground. They could put that serve anywhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if we're just for the sake of hitting
Speaker 4: a tennis ball on one half of the tennis court, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're still you're taking a seat. Yeah, you're taking
Speaker 2: a serve. So, yeah, you have more surface. But then
Speaker 2: also you're wide open either way. If I'm connecting with one,
Speaker 2: it's going to be out of luck. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I think I'd feel more comfortable with a U in
Speaker 2: the batter's box.
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, I feel like I'd feel more comfortable
Speaker 4: with the tennis because the rackets bigger and the thought
Speaker 4: of a you know, I go back to the Little
Speaker 4: league when I was scared of the balls being a
Speaker 4: little squishier, don't feel so nervous. But I get hit
Speaker 4: by it, I'm still gonna hurt, but not the same
Speaker 4: as a baseball going one hundred miles an hour and
Speaker 4: there's a longer distance for your brain to kind of
Speaker 4: like here it comes. So I'll go tennis.
Speaker 2: That'd be fun. Yeah, that'd be cool. I'd be my
Speaker 2: little Whether it's just social content too.
Speaker 4: We need to do pickleball too, as a group, going
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 2: Whether it's starting to come and this back is gonna
Speaker 2: be right? Boys, I'm telling you, how's it feeling now?
Speaker 2: It's better than last week.
Speaker 4: You're sitting much more comfortable than you have in the past.
Speaker 2: You look, I've been I've moving I've been moving around.
Speaker 2: Have you been seeing it? Mitch?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know my fault.
Speaker 2: If it does feel better than last week, we're good.
Speaker 2: So I've got a ways to go, but you know
Speaker 2: i'd be back man. Yeah. Yeah. Should we get in
Speaker 2: this interview? Yeah, let's get into the interview. Oh do

Speaker 4: I don't know why, it's kind of nice.
Speaker 2: So Rude played her first Smash Bros. Game. We fired
Speaker 2: up the switch yesterday, Me, charl and Rue played and
Speaker 2: just dumbied her all over it just dumbied her all
Speaker 2: over the map. She kind of just sat there holding
Speaker 2: in on my here, you gotta press this button and
Speaker 2: then just start fucking going in on her. We played
Speaker 2: a Smash Bros. Mario Party. That's a big fan of
Speaker 2: Monty the Mole.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Mario Party game is great with the kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean she has like no holy what
Speaker 2: the hells. We gave her just a little fake controller
Speaker 2: that just makes noises, so she felt like she was
Speaker 2: playing the game like, oh, you're doing it.
Speaker 8: Do doom punishment for that drawing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Miss that.
Speaker 4: I guess my dad's story this weekend, like my kids
Speaker 4: are bigger than like monster chasing them and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: And so, uh, Taylor got into it yesterday too, and
Speaker 4: I was essentially like a Jason Borhees walking around my
Speaker 4: house just like trying to catch them all at one
Speaker 4: point and it went on for like maybe an hour,
Speaker 4: all of them like running and hiding for me. Then
Speaker 4: I would just slowly walk around, and I would hear
Speaker 4: them because the dogs would follow tailoring and so I
Speaker 4: could always hear where they were at. So I would
Speaker 4: just kind of like try to connect areas slowly, but
Speaker 4: surely I would catch them and like pretended like time, Oh,
Speaker 4: you can't move unless somebody else touches you. And then
Speaker 4: I would just stand by the stand by the body
Speaker 4: until the next one came, and then grabbed that one.
Speaker 4: But my daughter, my oldest daughter, she I ended up.
Speaker 2: I catched.
Speaker 4: I caught all of them, and then Win wants to say, okay,
Speaker 4: magic force field magic this and break out like that's
Speaker 4: not the game we're playing. You guys are done, and
Speaker 4: I would like jokingly to my wife like like stabber,
Speaker 4: like pretend to staver, and she just lost her fucking
Speaker 4: shit for like an hour, to the point where I
Speaker 4: had to talk to her for a little bit. And
Speaker 4: then I was like, all right, if if you're gonna
Speaker 4: handle like this, we're not gonna play games like that.
Speaker 4: And I went to walk away. She's like, where are
Speaker 4: you going on? So I'm gonna have fun today, Taylor? No, no, no,
Speaker 4: when oh, okay, I got I'm going to have fun today.
Speaker 4: So if you're not gonna have fun, like then you
Speaker 4: can be upset over here. But me and Win and mommy,
Speaker 4: or me and Willow and mommy, we're gonna have fun
Speaker 4: to one about twenty minutes came out rubbing the nose,
Speaker 4: and the rest of the day was a smooth sailing.
Speaker 4: But I love that little game of just kind of
Speaker 4: walking around and so tez you he tried to catch them.
Speaker 2: You feel like a murderer asserting your dominance. Yeah, like,
Speaker 2: oh force field Okay, does this feel like a force
Speaker 2: field field?
Speaker 4: And then she'll always go pretend to pretend I broke
Speaker 4: out of it. Pretend you saw a dragon, like, ah,
Speaker 4: a dragon. But yeah, that's it, man, I love it. Thanks,
Speaker 4: I love it.

Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of Busting with the Boys. Eric Kendricks, linebacker, Ah,
Speaker 2: they go, how many Pro Bowls? One Pro Bowl? How
Speaker 2: many times have you been an alternate? Too many?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: A lot linebackers theater. They don't back out. Oh, they
Speaker 2: don't bet.
Speaker 4: How often when you're an alternately? You're like, please, God,
Speaker 4: somebody just dip so I can get.
Speaker 1: One early on a lot. Now, I'm just like, you know,
Speaker 1: what's whatever? At this point, man too, I'm too scarred.
Speaker 1: At this point.
Speaker 4: I would put guys like like Darrell Casey and when
Speaker 4: I first met him, he was an alternate a couple
Speaker 4: of times, and I was like, you're gonna take it,
Speaker 4: and he's like, no, I had to make it for real.
Speaker 7: I feel that too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I would think to myself, like, man, ten
Speaker 4: years from now, if you are an alternate and you
Speaker 4: getting the Pro Bowl, you're a Pro Bowler now and
Speaker 4: in ten years knows be like yeah, but he was
Speaker 4: an alternate YEA. It was like, hey, take what you
Speaker 4: can get.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like when I went as an alternate when I
Speaker 1: when I did go, but I had got All Pro
Speaker 1: that year, so I felt like, Okay, I'm like I
Speaker 1: can go. But I feel that like being not being
Speaker 1: like yes, I was like, nah, isn't.
Speaker 4: That such a weird thing? Though, Like there's a I
Speaker 4: know Jack Conklin his his rookie year, he played right
Speaker 4: tackle for US for the Titans, and he was his
Speaker 4: rookie year, he was All Pro, but he was like
Speaker 4: a fourth alternate for the Pro Bowl at right tackle.
Speaker 4: And then I think there's a couple other guys that
Speaker 4: would have like like Lane Johnson or David Baktiari, they'd
Speaker 4: be All Pro, but then it would be alternates for
Speaker 4: the Pro Bowl, Like why do you think that happens?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's a little bit of you
Speaker 1: know who the Even when players vote on it, it's
Speaker 1: like who what names do you think of?
Speaker 7: You know what I mean? I feel like last year,
Speaker 7: I mean t J.
Speaker 1: Edwards was like the best linebacker to me on film,
Speaker 1: Like you know, he may have not had a lot
Speaker 1: of picks or anything like that, like when he was
Speaker 1: with Philly and stuff like that, but I was like, man,
Speaker 1: this guy's all over the field. He's stopping the run,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he's making plays on
Speaker 1: third down like he's gotta go right and then nope, nothing.
Speaker 2: But do you know how it is though in those
Speaker 2: position meetings, like when you just vote on like what
Speaker 2: would we vote on? Like full back and full back
Speaker 2: and running back maybe like you're it's like before practice,
Speaker 2: it's like coach keeps you at the meaning, hey, we
Speaker 2: gotta be out there in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 7: And it's like a certain amount of guys only vote
Speaker 7: for too.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, and also make sure to vote on
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. And it's like you're just picking kind
Speaker 2: of like guys you're familiar with versus like an up
Speaker 2: and comer like a TJ. Edwards because he was a monster. Yeah,
Speaker 2: would you.
Speaker 4: Guys do it individually or would you guys as a
Speaker 4: collective group put it on one sheet like this is
Speaker 4: all of our votes.
Speaker 7: Sometimes you just vote for your friends.
Speaker 1: Too, Like my boy over here, I'm not gonna yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote for him all day.
Speaker 2: Oh you hear somebody like if Eric feels strongly about
Speaker 2: one saying like that's when you're kind of up in there,
Speaker 2: You're just like, all right, I'll just put him down.
Speaker 4: Seeing the old line room, we would me and Ben
Speaker 4: would get one sheet and as a group we would
Speaker 4: just go over it like okay, this guy, this guy,
Speaker 4: this guy. We vote on tackles and defensive ends. And
Speaker 4: then we would turn in our sheet, so all twelve
Speaker 4: guys in the offensive line room that would count as
Speaker 4: twelve tho. So you just no, no, no, no, Ben and
Speaker 4: I would then I would write it down. But also
Speaker 4: Ben and I were the oldest ones in the room
Speaker 4: a lot of guys. We would the people be like, hey,
Speaker 4: what about this guy? And there would be like obviously
Speaker 4: a diplomatic discussion about it that this wasn't a dictatorship,
Speaker 4: but the boys.
Speaker 2: It done something like they could have their own vote.
Speaker 4: We would all vote collectively.
Speaker 2: As a group. This counts as this count says eight nine.
Speaker 2: Kind of weighted now dictatorship.
Speaker 4: There were times like with Jack when we were trying
Speaker 4: to get we were trying to get him the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: Myself included, I'm trying to take myself out of this.
Speaker 4: But like we would like, all right, we know that
Speaker 4: Joe Thomas is gonna make it, so we'll put Joe
Speaker 4: in there. But then the other two saws we put
Speaker 4: like backups, try to like all right, cool, we have a.
Speaker 2: Better shot, yes, trying to take control of the room,
Speaker 2: just like hey guys, we're all going to do one cheet.
Speaker 2: It's all going to be collective. Let's go tackle. Where
Speaker 2: should we go here? Yeah, Joe Thomas will just go
Speaker 2: with nobody else, Yeah, nobody else. No, we would.
Speaker 4: It got that way a couple times when you're trying,
Speaker 4: especially trying to make the first one, because it is
Speaker 4: like a game basis, the hardest Pro Bowl to make
Speaker 4: is your first Pro Bowl, right, and then for linebacker
Speaker 4: it's a little bit different. But for tackles, it's like
Speaker 4: you have you have your name, and if like you
Speaker 4: become a household name, you're able to kind of like
Speaker 4: live on that.
Speaker 7: For a little bit.
Speaker 2: I think it's like that every spot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the year I actually made it
Speaker 1: was not even my like my statistically or like how
Speaker 1: I felt was like my best year as an NFL player.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was the same with Ryan Kerrigan. He like
Speaker 2: he like had an incredible year and got like snubbed
Speaker 2: and then he was an alternate. But then the next
Speaker 2: year he still had like a ten sack year, but
Speaker 2: then he makes the Pro Bowl. So it is like
Speaker 2: a weird.
Speaker 4: It's like you got to got to do that though,
Speaker 4: you have to have like a breakout year and then
Speaker 4: you get the next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The only one I hate that I always try
Speaker 2: to stand on the hill for is Vonte David. I
Speaker 2: feel like he's only had I think he had one
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl as an alternate as well, and it's like
Speaker 2: he has these insane years he's been doing it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's been doing it. But finally when Tom Brady got
Speaker 2: there and they win the Super Bowl, he gets through
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. But it's like, bro, he's been a
Speaker 2: monster forever.
Speaker 4: You're like the number one supporter of lat Yeah boogie, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's my that's my guy.
Speaker 2: Because he's soft spoken. He's kind of like he's kind
Speaker 2: of like, uh, well, I don't know him, but from
Speaker 2: what I watched, he was like a soft spoken, like
Speaker 2: quiet kind of like an Ed Reed. Just fucking a dog.
Speaker 2: Just grow his hair out and never get haircuts, just
Speaker 2: like he just wants to play football.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not gonna he's not gonna go out there. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm selling robbed right now. He's not gonna be like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm the best, Like yeah, he's just gonna do his
Speaker 1: job day in day out.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He he deleted like Twitter and stuff, and I
Speaker 2: would just tell him like, hey, I'm gonna pioneer all
Speaker 2: your campaigns, like just vote, like, bro, like you have
Speaker 2: to take some type of make some type of push
Speaker 2: for ever. I know it sucks. Like I know it sucks.
Speaker 2: Like as a player sitting there the Pro Bowls around,
Speaker 2: you got to put up your post like hashtag this. Bro.
Speaker 4: You feel like every vote, every re tweek counts as
Speaker 4: a vote. Please hashtags to Pro Bowl vote.
Speaker 1: Especially, We're like if you're battling for like a playoff
Speaker 1: spot or like you're you're you know, you're not doing
Speaker 1: too well. It's like, no, I don't care about that.
Speaker 1: Like we're doing we're losing right now. Yeah, yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 4: Yes, mantle Man talk about uh talk about growing up
Speaker 4: with you and your bro Michael, Like he was a monster.
Speaker 2: He was a beast. I got to watch him a
Speaker 2: lot because he was at Philly and uh, talk about that,
Speaker 2: you guys growing up, Like what was what was that? Like?
Speaker 2: Are you too? Are you too? Kind of very different
Speaker 2: from each other, one more physical than the other.
Speaker 1: Wors wors very similar, but like growing up my brother
Speaker 1: he's he's like one of the biggest freaks I know, period,
Speaker 1: Like like physically athletically, like whoever's lifting weights next to him,
Speaker 1: he could whatever lift whatever weight they're lifting, he could lift.
Speaker 1: And like growing up with him, getting getting you know,
Speaker 1: getting in the fights with him every day, it was
Speaker 1: like I didn't really realize how how much of a
Speaker 1: callous he was building for me, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I got to watch him, you know, and
Speaker 1: follow everything he did and and you know, make corrections
Speaker 1: along the way. But I remember just like, uh, there
Speaker 1: was this neighborhood bully. His name was Eddie, and we
Speaker 1: had got gloves from a yard sale down the street
Speaker 1: and we were just kind of boxing around in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood with it with all the kids, and then Eddie
Speaker 1: put on the gloves and my brother was fighting him
Speaker 1: and he was older than us, and I remember just
Speaker 1: like watching my brother whoop Eddie's ass and being like, damn,
Speaker 1: that's my Like I get my ass whooped by Michael,
Speaker 1: Like you do.
Speaker 2: Better than Eddie, Like like what I'm like.
Speaker 1: They kind of built this confidence like where it was
Speaker 1: like even the kids in my my grade didn't ever
Speaker 1: stand a chance, Like I was always playing. My mom
Speaker 1: had always you know, moved me up in the teams
Speaker 1: because she wanted to go to one practice, not two practices.
Speaker 7: So it was like I was just.
Speaker 1: Getting that callus just built like over time, and it's helped.
Speaker 7: Me a lot for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So you're always playing with kids older than you
Speaker 2: and bigger.
Speaker 1: Bigger than me at the Cousins brothers, Yeah, being the
Speaker 1: younger brothers like a W.
Speaker 7: In that category. It's a W.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, It's it's tough at first.
Speaker 1: You know, you're getting you're getting worked every day, you know,
Speaker 1: you're getting your down and the spit you know.
Speaker 4: A hall, that big, that big daddy thing with the
Speaker 4: catch up, Yeah, all that d I trained with your
Speaker 4: brother at a exo some Carlsbad and he was really,
Speaker 4: like you're saying, like just an intense guy who just
Speaker 4: kind of stayed down a little bit, but like you
Speaker 4: break through the wall. And he was like way fun
Speaker 4: to be around after that, but literally in the weight
Speaker 4: room would get after it like all work the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twitchy, very he was very good technique wise, who
Speaker 2: like played within his frame really well, could cover, could
Speaker 2: do all this stuff? Is it? H Was it fun?
Speaker 2: When you get to claim the Buckets Award winner?
Speaker 7: That was crazy.
Speaker 1: I feel like I was always my goal when I
Speaker 1: entered college, and I never really kind of realized how
Speaker 1: close it was for me to be there.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously my senior year I was having a good year.
Speaker 1: And then I like the way they presented it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like they don't you know, you
Speaker 1: don't go to an award show. They kind of just
Speaker 1: show up at your school. And I was in the
Speaker 1: middle of a workout with all my teammates and had
Speaker 1: no idea and after the workout, we huddle up and
Speaker 1: they just roll. They kind of roll onto the field
Speaker 1: with like a small camera crew and and like and
Speaker 1: I'm just like in complete shock.
Speaker 7: But I got to experience it. I'll never forget that.
Speaker 1: I got to experience it with all my college teammates,
Speaker 1: who you know, college is different because you you get
Speaker 1: in the you get into school with those guys, you
Speaker 1: work in the weight room, you go to collect everyone's
Speaker 1: you know, away from home for the first time, and
Speaker 1: you work with those guys all the year. So it
Speaker 1: was really special for me to like have that moment
Speaker 1: with my team, and like I felt like it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, it was an individual war, but I got
Speaker 1: to experience. I still remember that with my.
Speaker 2: Guys, you know, Jayon Brown, Jon Brown.
Speaker 7: You know, Cam cam uh Bar wasn't there.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We had Kenny Shoe, we had a we had Kenny Young,
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark Shoe, we had a bunch of dogs, Fabian Man,
Speaker 1: we had, we had a bunch of goons on our team.
Speaker 2: Who was that running back? I just remember, no, we
Speaker 2: got beating UCIL. I don't know if you were there
Speaker 2: yet when when when you when you was there? When
Speaker 2: y'all thirty six to thirty or something years in a row,
Speaker 2: like you beat his two years? No you didn't, No,
Speaker 2: he did. We did not beat.
Speaker 7: You in the Rose Bowl, and then we beat you
Speaker 7: in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on, no, yes, we did look that up.
Speaker 4: Look a last year's twenty twelve.
Speaker 7: Look it up?
Speaker 4: When was last year was fifteen?
Speaker 2: My last year's twenty twelve?
Speaker 1: Okay, so so never mind, you didn't go, you didn't
Speaker 1: go to the you didn't you weren't there.
Speaker 2: Then we did.
Speaker 4: Maybe Nebraska with and with that will comm then that
Speaker 4: is tough.
Speaker 2: They did. They put up Uh are you talking about
Speaker 2: Jonathan Franklin. Yes, that's who it is. That Yeah, that's who. Yes,
Speaker 2: yeah he was. He was nice and he put up
Speaker 2: like they put up like over five hundred total yards
Speaker 2: or something. It was brutal, like it was. The score
Speaker 2: was closer than.
Speaker 1: Who Taylor Martinez Yeah, yeah, yeah, he had like a
Speaker 1: little option read that.
Speaker 7: He took to the crew.
Speaker 4: Yes, bro, Nebraska still has a Taylor Martinez on their team.
Speaker 2: There's a Martino.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the last twenty years Martinez. You asked question, I
Speaker 4: gotta look dude. Uh yeah, the Martinez thing in Nebraska
Speaker 4: is crazy. And Nebraska's thing too is they always give
Speaker 4: up big rushing yards. I was like, the Big Ten
Speaker 4: championship game against Wisconsin was like four in their total
Speaker 4: rushing yards, three backs over one hundred. But that's Big
Speaker 4: ten ball. UCLA is going to Big ten ball. Going
Speaker 4: to Big ten, you get nervous about that.
Speaker 7: Don't get nervous.
Speaker 4: About that and be able to compete. I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I think so. I mean, it's a little bit of flash.
Speaker 4: In Pasadena, California. It's beautiful, it's nice. The palm trees
Speaker 4: going around as you're going down, suns down, it's beautiful.
Speaker 4: And then you got to it's November second week and
Speaker 4: you're flying to cold Penn State. Yea, Columbus, Minnesota.
Speaker 7: It's pro ball now, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: This is pro now. It's really like that.
Speaker 1: It's you're going across country. You know what I mean
Speaker 1: that they don't care about class, Like what for.
Speaker 4: All the U c l A v Yeah, yeah, for real,
Speaker 4: for all the UCLA fans. Do you think that they
Speaker 4: should be nervous about winter ball in the Big ten?
Speaker 4: I mean, as a player, yes, I.
Speaker 7: Think a little bit.
Speaker 2: You gotta think that road that's on me. I wasn't there,
Speaker 2: but you gotta you.
Speaker 1: Gotta understand that people gotta come to us too. So
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I'm not saying that's not that's
Speaker 1: not it. That's not an advantage for you know, anybody
Speaker 1: in particular. But you know, we got a little it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of comfort in those those
Speaker 1: games as well. You know, not always gonna be real.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some tough games for sure.
Speaker 4: Now listen, I love your confidence. How you got to say, hey,
Speaker 4: they got to come see us too. They think a
Speaker 4: really well manicured response. However, you like, what do U
Speaker 4: c l A like? How many are we selling out
Speaker 4: every single game?
Speaker 2: Not anymore?
Speaker 1: When I when I played, we had a we had
Speaker 1: really good crowds.
Speaker 4: But if you're talking about like like the hardest place
Speaker 4: to play the Pack twelve besides like Oregon and Washington
Speaker 4: because it's a loud would be like Arizona and Utah.
Speaker 4: Utah is really like that about Utah.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a small, intimate stadium, it's packed, it's
Speaker 1: always packed, it's always sold out in the weather.
Speaker 7: You know, you can get you can get some cold
Speaker 7: weather there for sure.
Speaker 4: But if you're thinking of like hostile environments, you're not thinking, man, La,
Speaker 4: the weather is going to get toasted out there. It's
Speaker 4: gonna be frigid or whatever.
Speaker 7: It's like, you know, if it's the early game, you
Speaker 7: may get toasted. Nah. Yeah, I started thinking about that.
Speaker 7: Everybody camp is kind of brutal.
Speaker 2: Washington is a fun place to play that Like Washington
Speaker 2: gets loud.
Speaker 4: Washington, like the Northwest, does their stadiums right. Like Seattle.
Speaker 4: They do a great job of like doing aluminum or whatever,
Speaker 4: like the metal seats so it all vibrates off. Washington
Speaker 4: do is the same thing. And they build their stadium
Speaker 4: straight up. I think they've really honed in the sound. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you can see the tech really coming in. You have
Speaker 4: you Did you ever play Michigan? Never so Michigan obviously
Speaker 4: the big House. It's like it's the biggest stadium.
Speaker 2: In North America.
Speaker 7: It's honest, like howls out, yes, And that's.
Speaker 2: What I was going.

Speaker 2: Back to the episode, Oh We're going, We're going. Do
Speaker 2: you know where you left off?
Speaker 7: Big House?
Speaker 4: We were going into the Big House. We had some
Speaker 4: technical difficulties. Battery issues, right Armando, battery issues.
Speaker 2: Good to go?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, it's obviously a big grand stadium's when
Speaker 4: that's the biggest stadium in North America, like top five
Speaker 4: in the world. But the sound is not held in
Speaker 4: so they need to revamp some things. We do some
Speaker 4: more suits and all that, because no, they do something well.
Speaker 4: They had the like when I first got there, they
Speaker 4: didn't have suites and the suits came in, Like you
Speaker 4: could tell a massive difference in like the sound. But
Speaker 4: I think they should do what Washington does in Seattle,
Speaker 4: was like pick out the wood seating and just align
Speaker 4: up with aluminum, don't I keep saying, I might not
Speaker 4: vibrates the most.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Peopel, like it takes away from the like
Speaker 1: the the essence of the stadium though, like if you
Speaker 1: just change it up like that, Like how do you
Speaker 1: feel about how do you feel about Buffalo going to
Speaker 1: another outdoor stadium?
Speaker 4: I love that. I think when the elements, when the
Speaker 4: elements are intense, you take that as like your culture builder,
Speaker 4: Like you got to come into Buffalo. Like I think
Speaker 4: if Buffalo went to an indoor stadium, it's like to me,
Speaker 4: it would take away from like all all this stuff
Speaker 4: that it would be much louder Bill's mafia would obviously
Speaker 4: go crazy. But something about like when you see this
Speaker 4: past year and you see Buffalo and all the snow
Speaker 4: on the ground and fans are coming into the stadium
Speaker 4: to shovel everything, that you're like, that's that's Buffalo. No.
Speaker 1: I played outdoor one year in Minnesota, my rookie year,
Speaker 1: and you know, we moved and we moved indoor. And
Speaker 1: I always felt like there was some games later on
Speaker 1: in the season where we had the ability to like
Speaker 1: open and shut some of the doors on the side,
Speaker 1: and I was like, imagine, if you know, imagine if
Speaker 1: Arizona is coming, you know, to Minnesota late in the season,
Speaker 1: right and it's you know, it's it's ten degrees outside,
Speaker 1: and we just open the doors in the indoor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we just like completely shock them like the day before,
Speaker 1: you know, right, like, oh yeah, by the way, the
Speaker 1: doors will be open today, you know.
Speaker 4: And there's something about NFL football, dude, where it's like
Speaker 4: growing up as a kid, you're watching late in the
Speaker 4: season December January ball and you see these men out
Speaker 4: there when they go close up on the face and
Speaker 4: you see their breath in the air, they're all breathing
Speaker 4: super hard, like the intensity of it. Like to me,
Speaker 4: that's like that's NFL because college obviously you get that.
Speaker 4: But it ends in November, like like the middle of
Speaker 4: November is the last game of the regular season. Then
Speaker 4: it goes all to the warm places for them to
Speaker 4: have their bowl games. But like NFL is like frigid
Speaker 4: cold fighting the elements men, like the true right, the
Speaker 4: Alpha males, Green Bay, Kansas City, Like it's just it's
Speaker 4: just cold and brutal. And even when in December, like
Speaker 4: obviously playing in the AFC South, you go to Jacksonville
Speaker 4: in December and it's like the absolute Flipsid's still eighty
Speaker 4: degrees and you're like, you're so used to being colder
Speaker 4: that it's like a shock just for that. And so
Speaker 4: I love, I love the outdoor element aspect of the NFL.
Speaker 2: You have to love it. Do you have to get
Speaker 2: acclimentated being a California boy and going to Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I didn't even own to I didn't even
Speaker 1: own a jacket, like a proper jacket, only hoodies like legitimately,
Speaker 1: And I remember my like I remember, I held off
Speaker 1: as long as I could, and then one day I
Speaker 1: just was, I was, I was just way too cold,
Speaker 1: and I went straight to north Face because that was
Speaker 1: you know, that was the that was the only brand
Speaker 1: I really knew about, you know, to get a jacket from.
Speaker 1: And I went straight to north Face and just outfitted
Speaker 1: my whole, like, you know, got a little winterized. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's no joke. I mean I feel like when
Speaker 1: it gets so cold, like I'm talking about negative twenty
Speaker 1: and you're taking a deep breath and it just freezes
Speaker 1: your whole like chest, and yeah, it's unbearable.
Speaker 2: How was your transition going from college to the NFL.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you had a leg up because
Speaker 2: your older brother. Oh?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I had a lake up because of my older brother.
Speaker 1: And I feel like our staff and at UCLA was
Speaker 1: like everyone had like either coach in the league, played
Speaker 1: in the league, or had some type of NFL experience.
Speaker 1: So I feel like our schedule and the way we
Speaker 1: did things and the way we installed and the way
Speaker 1: we approached meetings and everything was kind of like how
Speaker 1: it was when when I got to the pro. So
Speaker 1: like as soon as I got to install and students,
Speaker 1: I got to like walk throughs, I was already used
Speaker 1: to that kind of format, and I feel like that
Speaker 1: was the biggest advantage I had over all the other
Speaker 1: rookies who maybe not have had like a came from
Speaker 1: a different program or something like that, because it was
Speaker 1: just something I was just used to it, even though
Speaker 1: it was it was the playbook was way bigger, you know.
Speaker 7: I was at Mike Zimmer's defense.
Speaker 1: It was just like I had Anthony Barr, who was
Speaker 1: my teammate either year before. He had a little year
Speaker 1: a year before, so I had came in with a
Speaker 1: little bit of familiarity with through him, and then it
Speaker 1: was just all kind of like better for me.
Speaker 2: How fon was that getting reunited with the Anthony It
Speaker 2: was sick.
Speaker 1: Our coach was always tell us in college, you're never
Speaker 1: gonna you know, just take advantage of this.
Speaker 2: You're never gonna play again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dah dah went right back, you know, right back
Speaker 4: to Yeah, there's a yeah, one year buffer. And it
Speaker 4: had to be like one of those things where you're
Speaker 4: getting drafted to the NFL and you're like, Okay, I
Speaker 4: gotta go with these men now. But knowing that one
Speaker 4: of your boys is there to kind of like you
Speaker 4: feel safer. There's like a level of like, all right,
Speaker 4: that's my guy right there.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I honestly feel like I was talking maybe too much,
Speaker 1: like because I was like so familiar with him, so
Speaker 1: it was like I was like, you know, joking around
Speaker 1: and playing with him, but like you know that that
Speaker 1: opens you up as a target for like, you know,
Speaker 1: the other things stuff to.
Speaker 2: Just especially if you're a rookie. Like we had this
Speaker 2: one alignment that hey, rookies aren't meant to be heard.
Speaker 7: You just gotta just do it. You know.
Speaker 2: He talks how the linebackers are, Now this is an oldlignment. Nah, No,
Speaker 2: the linebackers are. Every linebacker room I've been has been
Speaker 2: been fun and cool. Yeah, like everybody, you know.
Speaker 4: It's always the offensive lineman was my My rookie here
Speaker 4: was like, hey, you talk too much. You need to stop,
Speaker 4: Like you play too much, you talk too much, Like
Speaker 4: you need to understand like where you are in the
Speaker 4: packing order right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I hated that.
Speaker 4: I hate it. I mean you know, yeah, yeah I was.
Speaker 4: It was like a very difficult thing for me to
Speaker 4: wrap my mind, like, hey, we all just kid be boys.
Speaker 4: I came in Michael Ruis a ten year vet, and
Speaker 4: I'm like essentially there to replace him, like, man, what's up.
Speaker 4: Good to see And he's like, why.
Speaker 7: Are you talking?
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, you're right, I'll just kind of I'll
Speaker 4: wait till you leave to talk.
Speaker 2: Then don't speaking. Less spoken too yeah, yes, that's what.
Speaker 2: That's what Sean Laval would say to rookies.
Speaker 4: Really don't speaking less spoken to something to say that
Speaker 4: the heart too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know who were the vets when
Speaker 2: you got through your rookie year. I had Chad Greenway,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 7: I had Terrence Newman, m I.
Speaker 1: Had Livval Joseph was was was he was like the
Speaker 1: first VET to take me out to dinner, like just
Speaker 1: on some casual, casual stuff and shoot, I don't know
Speaker 1: we had I had a lot of good vets for sure,
Speaker 1: like really good vets.
Speaker 2: Like do you think about your rookie year and having
Speaker 2: ninety two tackles in that being your only season, you
Speaker 2: haven't got a hundred.
Speaker 1: I actually did have a hundred, but they just you know,
Speaker 1: there's NFL stats and there's team stats, so right, I know,
Speaker 1: So if the NFL doesn't know that you're out there,
Speaker 1: you know, putting your life on the line, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, putting up blood into it, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: because because if they if they know about you a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know you're gonna get a tackle here
Speaker 1: and there, you know a little bit more.
Speaker 7: But yeah, you know, thanks for bringing that up.
Speaker 2: Because yeah, man, I mean your entire career, you've had
Speaker 2: one hundred tackles and if you go by the NFL stats,
Speaker 2: it was ninety two your rookie year. But man, you
Speaker 2: have to look back and take a lot of pride
Speaker 2: in knowing that your longevity and you know, knock on wood,
Speaker 2: not having any bad injury to Yeah, we gotta make
Speaker 2: sure to knock that, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: that's tough to do.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, there's like we were
Speaker 1: talking about earlier with the Pro Bowl and you know,
Speaker 1: and the notoriety and all that stuff. Like all that
Speaker 1: stuff is cool, don't get me wrong, but like I'm
Speaker 1: really I take pride in this ability to be there
Speaker 1: for my teammates when I when I need to be there.
Speaker 1: You know, I hate, I hate, I hate missing games.
Speaker 7: I hate you know.
Speaker 1: I really take really good care of my body. You know,
Speaker 1: I work out hard.
Speaker 2: I take that.
Speaker 1: I take this ship seriously, you know, And it's like
Speaker 1: things like that, you know, the consecutive years. You know,
Speaker 1: you you may say, oh, yeah, you know, he's not
Speaker 1: you know, this may not be as good in this
Speaker 1: area or this, you know, but like my consistency and
Speaker 1: I think that's what separates me and you could.
Speaker 7: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't argue with that, you know, when it's all
Speaker 2: said and done. Yeah, what was that? What's been the
Speaker 2: worst injury you've had to play through?
Speaker 1: Man in the league or in Yeah, in college, the
Speaker 1: worst injury I had to play through.
Speaker 7: I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I've broken my ribs and I played like a whole
Speaker 1: half and they were like clicking around. That was my
Speaker 1: rookie years.
Speaker 4: How yeah, I remember sleeping.
Speaker 1: There was a one time we were we were, we were,
Speaker 1: we were we were playing Kirko when he was on
Speaker 1: the other team, and he threw he threw a pick
Speaker 1: or he threw me a pick which I thought was
Speaker 1: gonna be an interception, and me and Anthony Barr ran
Speaker 1: into each other and we we and like my whole
Speaker 1: side was like I don't even know. It was like
Speaker 1: so swollen and it was like draining down to my
Speaker 1: groin for the next couple of weeks, and it was
Speaker 1: just a lot of fluid in my body.
Speaker 7: It was terrible, and I was just keying.
Speaker 1: You know, you can miss practice, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: But you know, then you just get ready for the game.
Speaker 4: How do you feel a fluid in your rib area.
Speaker 1: It was it was flu It was like I had
Speaker 1: a hit pointer. It was like I had all this
Speaker 1: fluid that was from the bruise I had. Like the
Speaker 1: impact was so crazy that I got hit on my side,
Speaker 1: but I landed on my shoulder, so I had like
Speaker 1: some strains in my like damn my shoulders. Like later
Speaker 1: in the week, I'm like, why is my shoulder heard.
Speaker 4: In double Homicide?
Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, it was bad, But I guess that's
Speaker 1: when you figure out what you're made of, you know,
Speaker 1: how much of a cycle you really could be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to go back to that ninety two
Speaker 4: tackles because the immediately will brings it up. You're like,
Speaker 4: it's actually a hundred, But the NFL, like why doesn't
Speaker 4: How does it work with the team in the NFL
Speaker 4: not just taking the team stats and registering it through
Speaker 4: NFL stats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually someone told me that, like oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you Like someone was like, oh yeah, you have actually
Speaker 1: have one hundreds from the team STAPs And I'm like,
Speaker 1: why is there a difference?
Speaker 2: You know? I was, yeah, same pace.
Speaker 7: I'm like, why is there a difference there?
Speaker 1: Like every year's is it's like different, so you have
Speaker 1: two different tackle totals, then probably oh yeah, probably, but
Speaker 1: you can.
Speaker 4: Also like uh, Chris Light Chris Long from green Light Podcast.
Speaker 4: He talks about sacks and guys will go in and
Speaker 4: get a sack, yeah, and they'll like they'll go to
Speaker 4: the league to review it because they think they got
Speaker 4: the half a sack when they got a full sack
Speaker 4: when they weren't registered anything. I wonder if you could
Speaker 4: have maybe you should go back and do that, get
Speaker 4: your hundred.
Speaker 1: Some of it's petty, though, like some of it I
Speaker 1: get you, like, uh, sometimes I'll be like after especially
Speaker 1: after a game, where I'm like, man, I had like
Speaker 1: fifteen to day and then you see the stat line
Speaker 1: and it's like seven. I'm like, damn that that feels
Speaker 1: terrible because I was out there, you know, going hard
Speaker 1: for my team.
Speaker 2: But it's all it's Sometimes the coaching staff like too.
Speaker 2: You might get a few jops yep on pile. You
Speaker 2: know they have credit you for.
Speaker 7: Yeah, go get you something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like your position room and you're reviewing
Speaker 2: the film and they give you a grade sheet and
Speaker 2: everything else, Like I usually affect the position coaches usually
Speaker 2: give you there to.
Speaker 7: Give you love.
Speaker 1: I feel like it depends too, because like if you like,
Speaker 1: let's say, let's say even the team stats. Like let's
Speaker 1: say you're you're watching film after the game and you know,
Speaker 1: like say, let's say you guys had a good game,
Speaker 1: like offense play well, defense played well, and you and
Speaker 1: you make a tackle and it's not registered and you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: like I didn't.
Speaker 2: Get a tackle, right Yeah, Like it's cool, it's chill.
Speaker 2: Everything's chill. It's clearly you made a tackle.
Speaker 1: Like, but when you start kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: like let's say you lose, or let's say the game
Speaker 1: was close, or let's say the tackle was kind of close,
Speaker 1: like you're arguing for an assist. You don't want to
Speaker 1: be the you don't want to be the guy to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, what about this tackle right there?
Speaker 7: Like some people will do it all day, but like.
Speaker 2: I feel like, more than the guys who get sacks.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, the things with sacks with linebackers, Like
Speaker 1: let's say there was a half, like there was a
Speaker 1: sack opportunity with the linebacker and the D lineman. The
Speaker 1: D lineman will always be the first one to argue it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the linebacker gets it. I've had like stuff like I've
Speaker 1: had a sack and then like all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like a half or like and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: what happened? Oh they gave so and so a half
Speaker 1: because they're the ones that were arguing for I'm like, wait, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, or your d lineman like comes up to
Speaker 2: you like hey, you know I gotta have that sack,
Speaker 2: and you're just taking your head like oh yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean it's not even on your mind.
Speaker 4: You're just like yeah, okay in the middle of the game.
Speaker 2: No, it'll be like having mid yeah, like say it
Speaker 2: at the like after the game's over. I remember when
Speaker 2: dey Kwon Jones when I got that fumber recovery against Detroit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and since it looked like I like torpedoed and got
Speaker 2: the ball out, he was mad that publicly everybody was
Speaker 2: saying that I forced the fumble and I was like, bro,
Speaker 2: you got in you I say, you got in the
Speaker 2: statue man, it's all good. I like it. You got it.
Speaker 2: He's like yeah, but everybodys saying, you know what you
Speaker 2: want me to do, like issue a statement like I
Speaker 2: get a little burn, I I won't play that game.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to take all the credit, take all the
Speaker 2: credit for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, I just how hard is it not to
Speaker 4: go and just after every single game go look at
Speaker 4: your statue. I put like two years of defensive tackle
Speaker 4: and I would be on scout dot com or whatever, like,
Speaker 4: all right, how many tackles are like, all right, two
Speaker 4: and a half tackles this game? I might really get
Speaker 4: twenty this year.
Speaker 7: Yeah. See, I don't. I don't don't. I don't do that.
Speaker 1: I've done that with I'm like, man, did I have
Speaker 1: like eighteen to day or what?
Speaker 2: Like how much that?
Speaker 1: Like I'll ask my wife like, hey, how many how
Speaker 1: many times did I have today? Like I was crazy?
Speaker 1: And she'll tell me, but like I'm not going to
Speaker 1: look Usually afterwards, sometimes if someone they're walking around with
Speaker 1: the sheets afterwards, I'll just be like, hey, how much
Speaker 1: should I have? And they'll just be like eight or
Speaker 1: you know, twelve or seven, five, four?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But like I said, it's it's more about how I feel,
Speaker 1: you know, how I feel like I played in the
Speaker 1: in the game. You know, if I was if I
Speaker 1: was if I was into the game, if I was
Speaker 1: into it early, you know, if I was flying around.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it's like there's been games where you know,
Speaker 1: you get up on offense, they go down on that,
Speaker 1: they go down. You know they're they're they're they're doing
Speaker 1: bad and it turned into a passing situation. So like
Speaker 1: how's my coverage? You know, I may not making as
Speaker 1: much tackles on the run game or to the perimeter,
Speaker 1: but like am I am I playing three?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 7: Am I you know going?
Speaker 2: You know, do my job? Really?
Speaker 4: How do you deal with like family members? Like if
Speaker 4: you talk to your wife and you're like, hey, how
Speaker 4: many did I have today? Like tempering those expectations. Like
Speaker 4: my wife she would be very much like looking in
Speaker 4: to everything, like how's everything like going publicly and all that.
Speaker 4: I would have to tell her like, bro, like you
Speaker 4: got to make sure, Like if I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: playing bad and I know you're looking at stuff, I
Speaker 4: feel like I have to like somehow like explain to
Speaker 4: you how I'm playing good or like justify whatever did
Speaker 4: you guys ever let you and your wife ever get
Speaker 4: into those kinds of things.
Speaker 1: My wife, she she knows that I'd rather know less
Speaker 1: and just go about based on how I feel, so
Speaker 1: she doesn't like she may read things or she may
Speaker 1: like look at stuff, but she won't until I ask,
Speaker 1: like how many tackles I have.
Speaker 7: She's not gonna just go up and say you had
Speaker 7: this many tackles.
Speaker 4: But that's like the hard part for me is like
Speaker 4: knowing that they're looking and wondering what's out there. And
Speaker 4: then the obviously like the insecurity of being like, man,
Speaker 4: maybe am I playing as good as I think I
Speaker 4: am or playing as bad as I think?
Speaker 1: But you're the one that's in the game though you know,
Speaker 1: you feel you can feel your teammates.
Speaker 4: We all fall victim that search on Twitter. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: So when anytime, like especially early in my career, anytime
Speaker 1: would say some someone would just say some outlander stuff
Speaker 1: that I'm like, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: I used to write a response, and I like, I
Speaker 1: used to write as mm hmm oh no, delete it
Speaker 1: and come back to it, put come back to it
Speaker 1: a big old response and be like, M I got him,
Speaker 1: and just delete it.
Speaker 4: I like, man, if I said this, M yeah, like, hey,
Speaker 4: that's smart to press the leak. Yeah, we all know
Speaker 4: that tweeting the deleite.
Speaker 1: But you're just you're just upset, you know, you're like man.
Speaker 1: But it made me feel better, you know, early in
Speaker 1: my career. Now be like, oh, I'll be laughing.
Speaker 2: At do you do you ever make it back to Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while? I mean I got cars
Speaker 1: still out there. So yeah for the cars.
Speaker 4: Big cars out there that's out there in the street.
Speaker 4: What are they doing?
Speaker 7: He's out there in the storage.
Speaker 2: He's got a big interest in cars. How many do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 7: I have five?
Speaker 4: Okay, you're an old school guy, new school guy.
Speaker 1: I like I would say, I'm like nineties and up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's your like what's your number one dream card?
Speaker 2: Do you have it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 7: I mean we can go on a Tangent.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, that's not that's not possible.
Speaker 7: What do you mean like everything?
Speaker 1: Like no, I like a Hana CRX, Like I want
Speaker 1: a Hona CRX at some point.
Speaker 7: All the way to oh, I did see a Bugatti
Speaker 7: the other day. Nuts. It's like it like floated by
Speaker 7: me on the freeway in court so sick. I was like,
Speaker 7: I never wanted a Bugatti. Now I want a Bugatti.
Speaker 4: Bugatti's is like two million dollar cars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like to get one you have to own one,
Speaker 1: which is like how does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah? How does that?
Speaker 4: Because there's a crazy process of like I think even
Speaker 4: getting a Ferrari, like you have to like check boxes,
Speaker 4: like you have to have.
Speaker 1: Like a certified pre owned one, you know something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's it's a different game.
Speaker 4: Have you looked into that process at all? Like being
Speaker 4: a car guy, but like just for finding like what
Speaker 4: what do you have to do to do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I mean I've got so I got an allocation
Speaker 1: on a portion of gqrs that was the last one,
Speaker 1: So I bought one brand new, which is like very
Speaker 1: hard to do, but that's like my favorite car.
Speaker 7: Ever. I was like right when I got to the
Speaker 7: league I saw that.
Speaker 1: I was like kind of like starting to roll out,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, this is an interesting car going
Speaker 1: on YouTube doing my research.
Speaker 7: Should just go into.
Speaker 1: Car dealerships and and just test drive everything I could
Speaker 1: until they wouldn't let me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I drove all types of stuff and then when
Speaker 1: I drove that, I was like, oh, yeah, I need one.
Speaker 1: Got the allocation and was able to actually build one
Speaker 1: from Germany that over and now it's like my baby.
Speaker 2: Were you the cat in high school that had like
Speaker 2: the magazines car magazines and yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: In elementary school I had like so I remember we
Speaker 1: had we had this program accelebrated rear where we had
Speaker 1: to like read for a certain amount of time and
Speaker 1: take tests on books. And I would just go to
Speaker 1: the library and like rent these car books. And I
Speaker 1: remember it had like the Diablo in at the F
Speaker 1: forty in it, like all these cars that are legendary today,
Speaker 1: but like I was looking at those in elementary like, man,
Speaker 1: need one.
Speaker 2: Just on that for speed every day?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, obviously the League is like a place that
Speaker 4: you see extravagant cars. To you, what is the most
Speaker 4: overrated car? You're going to find an NFL walker room
Speaker 4: or NFL parking lot.
Speaker 1: Uruss, yeah, Lamborg, Lamborghini truck.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the foor door because to me, because because
Speaker 2: to me, like oh damn, I love it.
Speaker 8: I love the car.
Speaker 7: Like the car it's you r U s E is.
Speaker 2: Alright, but I like I love the car.
Speaker 1: But like, but it's I it's a it's an Audi
Speaker 1: R s Q eight though it's the same car. So
Speaker 1: I would rather just spend one hundred thousand dollars less
Speaker 1: and get the same car without the name to and
Speaker 1: it's more subtle. I like the subtle. I like the
Speaker 1: subtleness of it. But it still has all the performance
Speaker 1: like features.
Speaker 2: Mercedes has something like that too. Yeah, it's kind of cam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like a lot of players in the NFL
Speaker 1: have it because it's a Lambeau. It's big enough to
Speaker 1: fit there, you know, the big bodies. It's fast, luxurious, you.
Speaker 2: Know, they got the shield.
Speaker 7: It's definitely dope.
Speaker 4: But the Bentley, the Rolls, the Lambeau, like the top
Speaker 4: three that a lot of guys will go and spoil.
Speaker 1: Rolls Royce is definitely you know, Rolls Royce is definitely
Speaker 1: like super super dope, super luxurious. The doors when the
Speaker 1: door's closed, You're like, that's expensive. Yeah rich, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I got money, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But like it's gonna depreciate the fastest.
Speaker 2: Trent Williams always had the the best just all the
Speaker 2: best vehicles. Yeah, like pull in and be like I
Speaker 2: want to trend drove today. Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Love them, guys. You know I love cars, so like
Speaker 1: I love them. Guys have a little old school. I
Speaker 1: had a friend who had like a little land Cruiser
Speaker 1: that he had like restored Corsettes. Cruisers is called they
Speaker 1: like do like resto mods. And it was like I
Speaker 1: walked in the parking lot like man, like everyone's just
Speaker 1: walking by it like it's old Toyota.
Speaker 7: I'm like, bro, this is clean.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: But those like three big luxurious brands that a lot
Speaker 4: of NFL players get. I've never been a fan of
Speaker 4: the SUVs really, but I think like the four door
Speaker 4: like Sedans or whatever they are, the Rolls Royce Ghosts,
Speaker 4: I think that should goes so hard.
Speaker 2: I got it. I recently got it.
Speaker 1: Like as my daily I got a Cadillac CT five
Speaker 1: V Black Wing, which is like super sleeper car.
Speaker 4: That sounded like hieroglyphic type stuff. I don't even know.
Speaker 2: He just culture. Yeah, I'm into it.
Speaker 1: But it's like that car you know, you kind of
Speaker 1: it'll just pass you on the thing, but like, you know,
Speaker 1: that car is amazing.
Speaker 2: What's the coolest old school car? My coolest also car?
Speaker 4: No, just in general like life, like let's talk about
Speaker 4: like seventies the classic muscle cars.
Speaker 1: See I'm not told you, I'm not I'm in a
Speaker 1: like nineties and a so cool. I feel like F
Speaker 1: forty is Ferrari F forty is the coolest car in
Speaker 1: my opinion, because like when every kid draws a car
Speaker 1: in their notebook, they draw F forty like a red
Speaker 1: red car, you know what I mean, Like they draw
Speaker 1: a Ferrari F forty. Yeah, So like that's like people's
Speaker 1: vision of like what a sports.
Speaker 7: Car is in my mind.
Speaker 2: But shoot, I mean.
Speaker 7: I think that.
Speaker 1: American American car culture is like one of the best
Speaker 1: things that we have to offer because we yeah, we
Speaker 1: can we can adapt other people's cars and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But like now, like you have like lowriders that are
Speaker 1: going to Japan, like being sold for like three hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. People's lowriters that they have in California, they're
Speaker 1: being sold to Japan. And now in Japan they're having
Speaker 1: like these little low rider clicks that are just rolling
Speaker 1: around using their hydraulics in the middle Japan. And it's
Speaker 1: like that's a that's a California thing like in Japan,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's that's only with like car people
Speaker 1: will only like that's only something that would happen in
Speaker 1: car culture. It's like everybody gets along. Everybody loves cars,
Speaker 1: no matter what it looks like. Yeah, it's a for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Going back to UH football, did you feel like you
Speaker 2: had any resentment leaving Minnesota to go to the Chargers.
Speaker 2: I feel like I was.
Speaker 8: I was.
Speaker 1: I was very like you know, it was a it
Speaker 1: was a huge transition for me. You know, I got
Speaker 1: drafted there. I feel like I gave him my all.
Speaker 1: You know, I played well, you.
Speaker 2: Were the man in the middle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I played well, Like I didn't really do. I
Speaker 1: I did write, you know, so right by them and
Speaker 1: like this and this and that. But it was like
Speaker 1: I was like, man, like damn, it's like you know
Speaker 1: we're gonna end this, Like why wouldn't you continue this?
Speaker 1: So I was like a little taken back by it.
Speaker 1: But then once once how everything played out after I
Speaker 1: was released, it was like I went to I went
Speaker 1: to La. My wife was pregnant at the time, you know,
Speaker 1: back home, like I was. It was like everything was
Speaker 1: just seemed like, Okay, nah, this is actually how my
Speaker 1: life is supposed to go. This is actually how exactly
Speaker 1: where I'm supposed to be. You know, I've loved it.
Speaker 1: You know, and it's been like so refreshing for my
Speaker 1: career and like, yeah, everything.
Speaker 7: That I love about football.
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, we didn't have a good
Speaker 1: year this year, but like the locker room reminds me
Speaker 1: of like the best locker rooms in Minnesota those years.
Speaker 1: So it's like it was so refreshing being around those
Speaker 1: guys who just they love football.
Speaker 2: Why do you feel like you guys struggled so much defensively,
Speaker 2: Like if you look, if you talk about headlines, it's
Speaker 2: like the Chargers spent the most on defensive talent and
Speaker 2: everything else, and you described, yeah, you describe the locker
Speaker 2: room like the culture that it is. I remember one
Speaker 2: time shooting you a DM just what is like, what's
Speaker 2: going on out there? Why don't you think it worked
Speaker 2: out in La?
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it was a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot of little things. You know,
Speaker 1: I can't really pinpoint it, you know, but like, man,
Speaker 1: like I'm over here just really trying to think about
Speaker 1: why what happened.
Speaker 7: I feel like.
Speaker 1: We have a we had a huge expectation and we
Speaker 1: know we have a great work ethic. Everybody's you know,
Speaker 1: headed to the same goal. But it was like the
Speaker 1: complimentary football aspect of it, like us putting the pieces
Speaker 1: together when we need to put the pieces together, like
Speaker 1: okay x's and those are one thing, you know.
Speaker 2: Mentality is another thing.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: Getting the job done is a third thing, you know.
Speaker 1: But like in the crucial situations of the game, you know,
Speaker 1: we lost seven we lost seven games or so by
Speaker 1: like three points or less, like maybe some some plays
Speaker 1: the last play of the game. So it was like
Speaker 1: in the crucial points of the game, no matter what
Speaker 1: is called, no matter what is drawn up, no matter
Speaker 1: how you're feeling in the game, if you're playing bad
Speaker 1: or you're playing good, like you need to buck up
Speaker 1: and get a win.
Speaker 7: And I feel like that's what we struggle with.
Speaker 1: And you know, it was it was all across the board,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like, no everyone took turns like
Speaker 1: that being them as far as like offense, defense, special teams.
Speaker 1: And it was like it was frustrating to watch because
Speaker 1: I know how much everybody in the locker room cared
Speaker 1: and everyone how everyone just and I hate you know
Speaker 1: it's cliche. Everybody works hard in the league, but like no,
Speaker 1: like like there's a this is a this is a
Speaker 1: great locker room, like guys who care about guys outside
Speaker 1: of football and not are non selfish and like the
Speaker 1: best the best qualities, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's frustrating. That was the most frustrating thing.
Speaker 4: How do you feel about the news about Jim harball Man.
Speaker 1: It was it was crazy because like I I disconnect
Speaker 1: myself from football always, but like you know, we you know,
Speaker 1: with what was happening with our team and you know,
Speaker 1: our coach being released in the middle of the season.
Speaker 7: You know, it was kind of like you have to
Speaker 7: you have to pay attention to it.
Speaker 1: But I was just thinking it was rumors, but you know,
Speaker 1: they made it happen and it was cool. But I think,
Speaker 1: especially at this point in my career, you know, super
Speaker 1: Bowl is the most important thing to me and whatever
Speaker 1: it takes to get there, Like I'm with it, Like,
Speaker 1: let's do it.
Speaker 4: Bro, You've got the right guy, and I know, I
Speaker 4: know you got to go. We're gonna get you out
Speaker 4: of here right now. But like I feel like you're
Speaker 4: gonna love jesse mentor that guy the way he puts
Speaker 4: off to get to very like Ravens esque, but that
Speaker 4: string coach Herb.
Speaker 1: Everybody keeps talking about it, and I've only heard amazing things.
Speaker 4: We went to their facility and they will literally do
Speaker 4: a test on you and it'll have charts of grades
Speaker 4: of everything, hit mobility, knee, ankle, everything, and like these
Speaker 4: were your flaws and you have like a pinpoint accurate
Speaker 4: like protocol for you.
Speaker 2: You know how, you know how most teams do, like
Speaker 2: fifty three guys in a roster. You feel like everybody's
Speaker 2: doing that same fifty three man workout. Like I've never
Speaker 2: worked with him, but everything that they were taking us
Speaker 2: throughout Michigan, it seems like everybody has their own individual
Speaker 2: side because based on there's different based on their assessments
Speaker 2: and weaknesses, hit mobility, all that stuff. Like they focus
Speaker 2: and get you. When I was listening to them, I
Speaker 2: was like, Yo, you make me want to like train
Speaker 2: out here at the University of Michigan.
Speaker 4: He's a guy that you would go in the middle
Speaker 4: of winter time to Antigram, Michigan and go train there
Speaker 4: because that's how good he is. A mere dull the
Speaker 4: type shit yeah, yeah, my god, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I mean that's what That's what I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that I keep hearing keep hearing stories, keep hearing things.
Speaker 1: But then it was next, I got experience for myself
Speaker 1: and I'm so open for you know, I just I
Speaker 1: want to win, so.
Speaker 2: I can't How much long do you want to play?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I think that it.
Speaker 1: Like, like I said, winning is the most important thing
Speaker 1: to me right now, and I'm gonna take a year
Speaker 1: by year.
Speaker 7: I'm still having fun with it. I feel great, Like.
Speaker 1: You know, I had a little injury to being in
Speaker 1: the season, but as soon as I was over with,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm solid.
