Speaker 2: Cool we have. Oh.

34
00:01:25,296 --> 00:01:28,616
Speaker 3: Also, I'll say this, they know that you're such a

35
00:01:28,656 --> 00:01:31,096
Speaker 3: big deal. They just knew you were Matt Castle. You

36
00:01:31,096 --> 00:01:32,296
Speaker 3: didn't bring your wallet.

37
00:01:32,456 --> 00:01:34,336
Speaker 5: I didn't even bring my wallet to this deal. I mean,

38
00:01:34,456 --> 00:01:37,096
Speaker 5: I know security is very tight because they checked the car,

39
00:01:37,496 --> 00:01:39,936
Speaker 5: they did the dog sniffing and all that stuff. Let

40
00:01:39,976 --> 00:01:44,296
Speaker 5: me come through, literally walked through the screening area, didn't

41
00:01:44,336 --> 00:01:47,136
Speaker 5: check my ID, but gave me my VIP pass and

42
00:01:47,176 --> 00:01:48,856
Speaker 5: told me where the green room was and let.

43
00:01:48,736 --> 00:01:49,376
Speaker 2: Me walk right in.

Speaker 2: There's a green room over here.

46
00:01:52,256 --> 00:01:54,376
Speaker 5: And they just said, hey, if you want to snack

47
00:01:54,536 --> 00:01:56,336
Speaker 5: or water, and I was like cool.

48
00:01:56,976 --> 00:02:00,576
Speaker 2: Literally never asked me for any form of identification.

49
00:02:00,736 --> 00:02:04,416
Speaker 3: You have that former NFL quarterback look about you. They

50
00:02:04,416 --> 00:02:06,416
Speaker 3: asked for three a form of identification for me.

51
00:02:06,536 --> 00:02:08,536

00:02:08,576 --> 00:02:11,256
Speaker 4: a student ID, checked you for lice, we have a

53
00:02:12,056 --> 00:02:14,175
Speaker 4: That's a whole different story because I got kicked out

54
00:02:14,536 --> 00:02:16,696
Speaker 4: back in the day when they would do life checks.

55
00:02:17,016 --> 00:02:18,936
Speaker 4: I was set home a couple of times. Oh that

56
00:02:19,016 --> 00:02:21,256

00:02:21,296 --> 00:02:22,136
Speaker 4: Bobby has lights and.

58
00:02:22,056 --> 00:02:22,816

Speaker 5: serious disease or problem.

67
00:02:41,416 --> 00:02:43,456
Speaker 4: They're related to bed bugs. That's a whole different story.

68
00:02:43,456 --> 00:02:45,496
Speaker 4: We're here to talk football today at Super Bowl weekend.

69

74
00:02:56,136 --> 00:02:58,775
Speaker 5: one of those teammates that you know when you leave

75
00:02:58,776 --> 00:03:02,456
Speaker 5: the game. It's always about relationships any team that you're

76
00:03:02,456 --> 00:03:04,776

77
00:03:04,776 --> 00:03:06,576

Speaker 5: been through the stuff that he does from a charitable standpoint,

82

00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:25,216
Speaker 5: that he went through as a player. But just a

84

Speaker 4: him up.

88
00:03:35,136 --> 00:03:37,696
Speaker 5: Are both probabely both. I mean, there is the bitter brew.

89
00:03:37,816 --> 00:03:40,816
Speaker 5: I told you that there's split personalities here. There's Teddy Bruski,

90

Speaker 5: the man that you see out you know, smiles, very

91
00:03:44,536 --> 00:03:46,936
Speaker 5: cordial with everybody, and then there's bitter Bruw. Too many

92
00:03:46,976 --> 00:03:49,216
Speaker 5: people around, too many people come up and touch him

93
00:03:49,256 --> 00:03:49,976
Speaker 5: at the wrong time.

94
00:03:50,096 --> 00:03:51,376

96
00:03:54,096 --> 00:03:55,176
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got lost.

97
00:03:57,176 --> 00:03:59,056
Speaker 3: I feel like I in the middle of a family reunion.

00:03:59,176 --> 00:04:00,016
Speaker 3: I know my place here.

99
00:04:00,936 --> 00:04:03,856

00:04:14,336 --> 00:04:16,695
Speaker 5: Now when I first got there in two thousand and five,

104
00:04:16,856 --> 00:04:20,416
Speaker 5: I mean, Teddy Bruski is a legend. Well first and

105
00:04:20,456 --> 00:04:22,936
Speaker 5: foremost one of the best leaders I've ever been around

106
00:04:22,936 --> 00:04:25,135
Speaker 5: in my entire life, but also a dear friend of

107
00:04:25,176 --> 00:04:27,175
Speaker 5: mine and incredible human.

108
00:04:28,096 --> 00:04:28,775
Speaker 2: I just love you.

109
00:04:28,775 --> 00:04:28,936
Speaker 7: You know.

00:04:29,015 --> 00:04:31,936
Speaker 2: This is a I'm you have anything good to say

111
00:04:31,936 --> 00:04:37,136
Speaker 2: about me? Here? I just want a little love here.

112
00:04:37,255 --> 00:04:37,695
Speaker 2: It's okay.

113
00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:40,736
Speaker 6: Then, yeah, you're a good friend of mine, a lifelong friends.

114
00:04:41,215 --> 00:04:44,736
Speaker 6: I'm just locker room. Castle came in and provided a

115
00:04:45,296 --> 00:04:49,975
Speaker 6: lot of energy that we needed. I was like, Tom Brady, sure,

116
00:04:49,976 --> 00:04:53,895
Speaker 6: you're probably not going to play, you know, we always

117
00:04:53,936 --> 00:04:57,296
Speaker 6: be ready. And then Tom went and really, I mean

118
00:04:57,376 --> 00:04:59,976
Speaker 6: to still go eleven and five with, you know, with

119
00:04:59,976 --> 00:05:02,415
Speaker 6: with Matt Castle at quarterback was probably one of my

120
00:05:02,455 --> 00:05:06,456
Speaker 6: favorite teams that I hold on to because in all

121
00:05:06,536 --> 00:05:10,015
Speaker 6: of the Brady love that there is, you take him

122
00:05:10,056 --> 00:05:13,895
Speaker 6: away and let's let's take Matt Castle and he's still

123
00:05:14,096 --> 00:05:16,296
Speaker 6: Matt still made us into a great team, cast dog

124
00:05:16,376 --> 00:05:17,136
Speaker 6: as we call him.

125
00:05:17,176 --> 00:05:19,855
Speaker 3: So Matt has talked about you when you're not around,

126
00:05:19,856 --> 00:05:20,176
Speaker 3: which is.

127
00:05:20,176 --> 00:05:22,496
Speaker 4: How I know he really like it, admires you, and

128
00:05:22,536 --> 00:05:25,335
Speaker 4: talks about your leadership skills. So when that happens, so

129
00:05:25,376 --> 00:05:28,296
Speaker 4: Brady goes down and this guy who wasn't drafted right

130
00:05:28,536 --> 00:05:30,496
Speaker 4: hadn't started a game since high school.

131
00:05:30,976 --> 00:05:33,255
Speaker 3: Uh, he as the leader of.

132
00:05:33,215 --> 00:05:35,975
Speaker 4: The team, like one of the leaders of the team.

133
00:05:36,015 --> 00:05:38,895
Speaker 4: What is your role then in making sure that he

134
00:05:39,096 --> 00:05:42,776
Speaker 4: and the team are maintaining stability?

135
00:05:43,536 --> 00:05:45,256
Speaker 6: I mean specifically towards towards Matt.

136
00:05:45,376 --> 00:05:47,136
Speaker 3: Yeah, when that happens, that's a whole thing.

137
00:05:47,296 --> 00:05:50,216
Speaker 6: Okay, I mean, you know the role that he's in.

138
00:05:50,655 --> 00:05:54,015
Speaker 6: All right, So, which is the backup quarterback to Tom

139
00:05:54,335 --> 00:05:56,336
Speaker 6: and so does he still take it seriously?

140
00:05:56,616 --> 00:05:56,895
Speaker 7: All right?

141
00:05:56,976 --> 00:05:59,335
Speaker 6: Is he still doing things that are being asked of him?

142
00:05:59,376 --> 00:06:01,856
Speaker 6: All right? Scout team or what kind of what kind

143
00:06:01,895 --> 00:06:04,255
Speaker 6: of a guy is he in the locker room? All right?

144
00:06:04,335 --> 00:06:07,376
Speaker 6: Is he a distraction? Anything like that? I mean all

145
00:06:07,416 --> 00:06:10,496
Speaker 6: of that was he passed every test with flying colors.

146
00:06:10,496 --> 00:06:13,416
Speaker 6: Whenever he was on scout team, did the job, wasn't

147
00:06:13,416 --> 00:06:16,936
Speaker 6: a distraction. Was a great locker room guy, great teammate,

148
00:06:17,255 --> 00:06:20,335
Speaker 6: and for a guy that you know you probably won't

149
00:06:20,416 --> 00:06:23,936
Speaker 6: be watching play too much. That's what you want, you know,

150
00:06:24,335 --> 00:06:28,015
Speaker 6: recognizing work ethic and who the person is. That's important

151
00:06:28,015 --> 00:06:31,295
Speaker 6: because the backup quarterback position is unique. It's very unique

152
00:06:31,296 --> 00:06:34,536
Speaker 6: that when are you going to get in, You're probably

153
00:06:34,575 --> 00:06:37,656
Speaker 6: never going to get in but reality set in when

154
00:06:37,815 --> 00:06:40,535
Speaker 6: Tom's knee got hurt, and then cast comes in and

155
00:06:40,575 --> 00:06:44,056
Speaker 6: it's like, shit, what are we going to do? You know, shit,

156
00:06:44,135 --> 00:06:46,815
Speaker 6: we're still going to win football games. And that's what him.

157
00:06:46,936 --> 00:06:51,616
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing. I was going to. Oh,

158
00:06:51,736 --> 00:06:53,416
Speaker 2: now I got to play and prove myself.

159
00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:55,295
Speaker 5: You know, I've been hanging on for dear life for

160
00:06:55,335 --> 00:06:58,335
Speaker 5: three years, and then all of a sudden, that instance happens,

161
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,695
Speaker 5: and in the blink of an eye, overnight, all of

162
00:07:00,736 --> 00:07:02,735
Speaker 5: a sudden, you're the guy at the forefront, and you

163
00:07:02,815 --> 00:07:04,496
Speaker 5: got to go out there and play. But I was

164
00:07:04,575 --> 00:07:07,416
Speaker 5: lucky enough to to have guys like Teddy and and

165
00:07:07,416 --> 00:07:09,376
Speaker 5: everybody else in that locker room. We had a veteran

166
00:07:09,416 --> 00:07:11,816
Speaker 5: group that, you know, really rallied around me and helped them.

167
00:07:11,936 --> 00:07:13,976
Speaker 5: I thought they babied you at first week.

168
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:17,336
Speaker 2: They did. They helped me back. You didn't need it.

169
00:07:17,376 --> 00:07:19,576
Speaker 6: And it's like, Phella, can we let the guy go?

170
00:07:19,655 --> 00:07:20,616
Speaker 6: I mean, why do we have.

171
00:07:20,576 --> 00:07:22,696
Speaker 3: Him thirteen bubble screens in a row? What are we doing?

172
00:07:23,136 --> 00:07:25,776
Speaker 2: There's no joke. That was the game plan against the Jets.

173
00:07:25,976 --> 00:07:27,096
Speaker 2: Then we we'd make him.

174
00:07:27,176 --> 00:07:30,456
Speaker 5: Remember, we spread about and we knew that Eric Mangini

175
00:07:30,576 --> 00:07:33,456
Speaker 5: was gonna go rain every time we went for four open,

176
00:07:33,856 --> 00:07:36,655
Speaker 5: and so all it was was immediately to get me

177
00:07:36,696 --> 00:07:37,295
Speaker 5: the slip screen.

178
00:07:37,336 --> 00:07:39,936
Speaker 2: We threw the slip screen probably seven times in that game.

179
00:07:40,016 --> 00:07:42,136
Speaker 6: And I remember a team meeting I think it was

180
00:07:42,176 --> 00:07:45,256
Speaker 6: when Bill was like, oh, it's he almost took accountability

181
00:07:45,296 --> 00:07:46,856
Speaker 6: for it and was like Castle, we're gonna let you

182
00:07:46,896 --> 00:07:50,256
Speaker 6: go now, and what we on defense were like, finally, man,

183
00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:52,416
Speaker 6: I mean, let's let the guy do his job here

184
00:07:52,936 --> 00:07:54,215
Speaker 6: and ended.

185
00:07:54,096 --> 00:07:54,856
Speaker 2: Up having a great year.

186
00:07:54,896 --> 00:07:55,576
Speaker 7: Buddy. Yeah.

187
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:59,136
Speaker 6: Uh, you got a lot of time in that documentary too,

188
00:07:59,176 --> 00:07:59,496
Speaker 6: didn't you.

189
00:07:59,416 --> 00:08:01,256
Speaker 2: You got a whole episode. You got me an episode

190
00:08:01,416 --> 00:08:01,896
Speaker 2: a hole.

191
00:08:03,655 --> 00:08:04,976
Speaker 3: Look like Michael Vick and that.

192
00:08:06,416 --> 00:08:08,696
Speaker 5: They're like, oh look Castle, lot a different type of game,

193
00:08:08,776 --> 00:08:10,215
Speaker 5: and all they showed was my running clips.

194
00:08:10,256 --> 00:08:11,176
Speaker 2: I was like I threw them all.

195
00:08:11,416 --> 00:08:15,376
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well what about it just on the defensive side.

196
00:08:15,616 --> 00:08:16,975
Speaker 4: It can be mat or it could be a backup

197
00:08:17,056 --> 00:08:19,415
Speaker 4: quarterback or just a situation that you did not expect.

198
00:08:19,696 --> 00:08:20,975
Speaker 3: Do you go to the guys be like, hey, we

199
00:08:21,016 --> 00:08:21,696
Speaker 3: got to step up in.

200
00:08:21,696 --> 00:08:22,456
Speaker 2: A different way.

201
00:08:23,016 --> 00:08:26,056
Speaker 4: We have to create points ourselves. Does that happen in

202
00:08:26,096 --> 00:08:27,975
Speaker 4: a situation like that or again, is it still just

203
00:08:28,536 --> 00:08:29,336
Speaker 4: forward status?

204
00:08:29,376 --> 00:08:29,576
Speaker 2: Quo.

205
00:08:30,336 --> 00:08:33,656
Speaker 6: No, we didn't. We didn't consider I mean, I didn't

206
00:08:33,736 --> 00:08:36,936
Speaker 6: change my game when you Cass came in a quarterback,

207
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:39,096
Speaker 6: because it's like, all right, I gotta I gotta try

208
00:08:39,096 --> 00:08:41,496
Speaker 6: and get more turnovers. I got to jump interceptions and

209
00:08:41,535 --> 00:08:44,136
Speaker 6: I do that in but I miss tackles. I think

210
00:08:44,175 --> 00:08:46,856
Speaker 6: we had a mature enough team. I mean, it's a

211
00:08:46,896 --> 00:08:50,456
Speaker 6: team that went eighteen and won the year before. Now, okay,

212
00:08:50,456 --> 00:08:53,215
Speaker 6: so we're still a pretty damn good team everywhere, and

213
00:08:53,256 --> 00:08:55,576
Speaker 6: we still knew we could still win football games. So

214
00:08:56,055 --> 00:08:57,976
Speaker 6: there was no panic or anything like that. And if

215
00:08:58,016 --> 00:09:01,816
Speaker 6: we noticed anybody was panicking. From a leadership perspective, it was,

216
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:05,656
Speaker 6: you know, just anything, just stay calm and you knowocus

217
00:09:05,696 --> 00:09:07,175
Speaker 6: on the plan and just trust the plan.

218
00:09:08,096 --> 00:09:11,256
Speaker 5: You still think about that eighteen and one team, because

219
00:09:11,256 --> 00:09:13,016
Speaker 5: we had this discussion the other day. He was talking

220
00:09:13,055 --> 00:09:17,496
Speaker 5: about well he AI mean and AI messed up. We

221
00:09:17,535 --> 00:09:19,096
Speaker 5: said I had two rings. I was like, no, I

222
00:09:19,136 --> 00:09:23,335
Speaker 5: don't have any rate really right, I was like, no,

223
00:09:23,535 --> 00:09:25,055
Speaker 5: the one I went to we were eighteen and oh,

224
00:09:25,295 --> 00:09:27,856
Speaker 5: and we went to that and the Giants came out

225
00:09:27,896 --> 00:09:30,815
Speaker 5: on top. And is it something that you look back on.

226
00:09:31,136 --> 00:09:32,856
Speaker 5: I was so proud of that team just being a

227
00:09:32,896 --> 00:09:35,055
Speaker 5: part of it, right, But at the end of the day,

228
00:09:35,055 --> 00:09:37,976
Speaker 5: we didn't accomplish the end goal, which was to win

229
00:09:38,016 --> 00:09:38,655
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl.

230
00:09:39,175 --> 00:09:42,936
Speaker 6: Right. So, I mean, the championships are one thing that

231
00:09:42,976 --> 00:09:46,016
Speaker 6: you win, but we won a lot, you know, and

232
00:09:46,096 --> 00:09:48,136
Speaker 6: we are a lot of games where we won and

233
00:09:48,175 --> 00:09:51,776
Speaker 6: we lost, and sometimes talking about championships, the first thing

234
00:09:51,816 --> 00:09:54,016
Speaker 6: I'll talk about is the ones we should have had, right,

235
00:09:54,175 --> 00:09:57,655
Speaker 6: And so yeah, I think about seven a lot, especially

236
00:09:57,655 --> 00:09:59,535
Speaker 6: in weeks like this when the Chiefs are trying to

237
00:09:59,576 --> 00:10:02,256
Speaker 6: get three in a row, which is something also that

238
00:10:02,295 --> 00:10:04,616
Speaker 6: we failed that we lost in the divisional round of

239
00:10:04,655 --> 00:10:09,295
Speaker 6: the Broncos. But I respect sort of the plight of

240
00:10:09,935 --> 00:10:12,616
Speaker 6: trying to do something that's never been done before. And

241
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:14,936
Speaker 6: I think that's what we're thinking in O seven, that

242
00:10:15,216 --> 00:10:17,496
Speaker 6: we've got championships in the back pocket, but we're trying

243
00:10:17,535 --> 00:10:20,055
Speaker 6: to win the championship that like, in a room like this,

244
00:10:20,136 --> 00:10:22,776
Speaker 6: we're all these you see all these Super Bowl champions here,

245
00:10:22,816 --> 00:10:24,816
Speaker 6: and it's like, oh, yeah, but you don't have this one, right,

246
00:10:24,896 --> 00:10:26,416
Speaker 6: you know, Yeah, you ain't got this, you know. So

247
00:10:26,976 --> 00:10:29,856
Speaker 6: being able to say that and so that was important,

248
00:10:30,256 --> 00:10:32,175
Speaker 6: That was important. How we wanted to achieve that. We

249
00:10:32,336 --> 00:10:34,975
Speaker 6: made sure in captain's meetings that Belichick wasn't going to

250
00:10:35,016 --> 00:10:36,856
Speaker 6: take us out when it was debated if we were

251
00:10:36,856 --> 00:10:39,456
Speaker 6: going to rest or not. So it was like, don't

252
00:10:39,456 --> 00:10:41,376
Speaker 6: even think about taking us out because.

253
00:10:41,096 --> 00:10:42,576
Speaker 2: We want to win all of them. You know.

254
00:10:42,655 --> 00:10:44,175
Speaker 5: But you're talking about the last game of the year

255
00:10:44,216 --> 00:10:45,816
Speaker 5: against the Giants and then six year.

256
00:10:46,216 --> 00:10:49,016
Speaker 6: Even yeah, that one and even the one before, like

257
00:10:49,096 --> 00:10:52,136
Speaker 6: people were talking about resting probably a week fourteen or

258
00:10:52,175 --> 00:10:54,335
Speaker 6: something like that, and it was like, don't do it.

259
00:10:54,616 --> 00:10:57,016
Speaker 6: You should got to be clear here, Bill, we want

260
00:10:57,016 --> 00:10:58,776
Speaker 6: to win them all, so don't take us out.

261
00:10:59,216 --> 00:11:03,136
Speaker 4: Final question, as you play in more Super Bowls do

262
00:11:03,935 --> 00:11:07,535
Speaker 4: how is the anxiety any changing inside of you by

263
00:11:08,336 --> 00:11:10,936
Speaker 4: Super Bowl four year in? Is like we've done this,

264
00:11:11,096 --> 00:11:13,055
Speaker 4: let's go, let's get it. Or you still kind of hype,

265
00:11:13,096 --> 00:11:13,655
Speaker 4: super hyped.

266
00:11:14,096 --> 00:11:14,736
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're.

267
00:11:16,415 --> 00:11:19,456
Speaker 6: You get hype, but there's no anxiety. There's no anticipation,

268
00:11:20,016 --> 00:11:23,696
Speaker 6: there's no panic for any big situation. You almost anticipate

269
00:11:23,736 --> 00:11:28,096
Speaker 6: every single one. But I would say you almost expect

270
00:11:28,096 --> 00:11:29,296
Speaker 6: to win every single time.

271
00:11:29,696 --> 00:11:29,896
Speaker 2: You know.

272
00:11:29,935 --> 00:11:33,335
Speaker 6: That's why I say that if Kansas City loses this one,

273
00:11:33,415 --> 00:11:35,456
Speaker 6: they'll think about this one just as much. As everyone

274
00:11:35,496 --> 00:11:38,656
Speaker 6: that they've won, because this is the one that would

275
00:11:38,696 --> 00:11:41,136
Speaker 6: have trumped the others that they had. You know, I

276
00:11:41,175 --> 00:11:43,496
Speaker 6: know they've got back to back, but this, this three

277
00:11:43,496 --> 00:11:45,936
Speaker 6: in a row would be super special. So no, the

278
00:11:45,976 --> 00:11:49,256
Speaker 6: anxiety goes away. That's why in on fourth and five

279
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:51,976
Speaker 6: versus the Buffalo Bills, they're just running a play, they're

280
00:11:51,976 --> 00:11:55,055
Speaker 6: just running a defense. But to the Bills, the AFC

281
00:11:55,136 --> 00:11:57,415
Speaker 6: championships on the line, it wasn't for them.

282
00:11:57,896 --> 00:11:59,736
Speaker 3: Talk about Abbot and what you're doing with Abbot.

283
00:12:00,295 --> 00:12:02,496
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Abbot heart Mates, that's what I'm sort of

284
00:12:02,496 --> 00:12:04,736
Speaker 6: here for. Abbot's A heart Mate is a new program

285
00:12:04,776 --> 00:12:08,216
Speaker 6: that they've arted to where you know, heart survivors and

286
00:12:08,295 --> 00:12:11,936
Speaker 6: stroke survivors have a community of people that can talk

287
00:12:11,976 --> 00:12:14,535
Speaker 6: to each other. That's new. But my connection to Abbott

288
00:12:14,576 --> 00:12:16,936
Speaker 6: is like two decades old because the heart device in

289
00:12:17,016 --> 00:12:19,976
Speaker 6: my heart is an AVID device. So after my stroke

290
00:12:20,055 --> 00:12:22,335
Speaker 6: in two thousand and five, I had a hole in

291
00:12:22,655 --> 00:12:24,616
Speaker 6: between the two upper chambers and they said we got

292
00:12:24,616 --> 00:12:26,896
Speaker 6: to close the hole. So I said, all right. Then

293
00:12:26,935 --> 00:12:29,695
Speaker 6: they tell me about this Abbot Amplatz, a recruiter that

294
00:12:29,696 --> 00:12:32,216
Speaker 6: they're going to put in my heart, and you know,

295
00:12:32,256 --> 00:12:34,535
Speaker 6: it helped me complete my comeback after that. I played

296
00:12:34,535 --> 00:12:38,176
Speaker 6: four years after my first stroke, So I would have

297
00:12:38,256 --> 00:12:41,296
Speaker 6: loved to have someone to talk to ask them questions.

298
00:12:41,336 --> 00:12:43,816
Speaker 6: And that's what really heartmates is all about. You can

299
00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:47,896
Speaker 6: join heartmats at abbot dot com slash heartmates and there's

300
00:12:47,935 --> 00:12:51,456
Speaker 6: a community of caregivers and survivors that you can bounce

301
00:12:51,496 --> 00:12:52,295
Speaker 6: those questions off.

302
00:12:52,696 --> 00:12:53,776
Speaker 3: Teddy really appreciate it.

303
00:12:54,055 --> 00:12:55,935
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're the man. You are the man.

304
00:12:56,136 --> 00:12:58,376
Speaker 5: I remember go back to that two thousand and five

305
00:12:58,376 --> 00:13:00,456
Speaker 5: real quick, because that was my rookie year and you

306
00:13:00,496 --> 00:13:02,215
Speaker 5: were rehabbing, Yeah, coming back, and.

307
00:13:02,175 --> 00:13:04,336
Speaker 2: I remember it was a Buffalo Bill's night game.

308
00:13:04,616 --> 00:13:09,576
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the most excited, emotional moment that I've

309
00:13:09,576 --> 00:13:12,296
Speaker 5: ever seen in my entire life that stadium when you

310
00:13:12,376 --> 00:13:13,976
Speaker 5: got introduced to run on that field.

311
00:13:14,016 --> 00:13:15,816
Speaker 2: I still get goosebumps thinking about my wife and I.

312
00:13:15,976 --> 00:13:17,256
Speaker 7: Laura and I were talking about the other.

313
00:13:17,216 --> 00:13:22,176
Speaker 5: Day, like people had crying, the emotion, the rally and

314
00:13:22,216 --> 00:13:25,256
Speaker 5: the support from the team, the organization, but those fans

315
00:13:25,655 --> 00:13:26,976
Speaker 5: it had to be a special.

316
00:13:26,616 --> 00:13:27,136
Speaker 2: Moment for you.

317
00:13:27,336 --> 00:13:30,055
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a memorial time. You talk about anxiety.

318
00:13:30,136 --> 00:13:33,456
Speaker 6: I had anxiety then coming back from that, and my

319
00:13:33,496 --> 00:13:36,256
Speaker 6: wife did too. She said, all right, because we had

320
00:13:36,295 --> 00:13:39,096
Speaker 6: we were at odds if I was going to come

321
00:13:39,136 --> 00:13:41,215
Speaker 6: back and play. It's like, I want to come back.

322
00:13:41,295 --> 00:13:43,976
Speaker 6: She's like, oh, no, you're not. You're my husband and

323
00:13:44,016 --> 00:13:45,816
Speaker 6: the hot father of my three children. You are not

324
00:13:45,856 --> 00:13:48,456
Speaker 6: going back there there to bang your brain against these

325
00:13:48,496 --> 00:13:50,535
Speaker 6: other guys. And so we had to get through some stuff.

326
00:13:51,295 --> 00:13:53,816
Speaker 6: But she gave me the three second rule, and she's like,

327
00:13:53,896 --> 00:13:56,535
Speaker 6: all right, when you're down, if you're down for more

328
00:13:56,576 --> 00:13:58,496
Speaker 6: than three seconds, I'm getting your ass out of there.

329
00:13:58,856 --> 00:14:00,976
Speaker 6: So don't stay down, just so I know you're okay.

330
00:14:01,136 --> 00:14:04,456
Speaker 6: So all that stuff's in my brain coming back in

331
00:14:04,535 --> 00:14:07,175
Speaker 6: that Buffalo game, man and all of that, And dude,

332
00:14:07,175 --> 00:14:09,496
Speaker 6: I played like seventy plays, you.

333
00:14:09,456 --> 00:14:11,576
Speaker 8: Had eleven tackles. You're the defensive player that I know.

334
00:14:11,696 --> 00:14:15,136
Speaker 8: I was like on punt team. I was talking to

335
00:14:15,295 --> 00:14:17,496
Speaker 8: coach like, dude, can you get me on punt team?

336
00:14:17,535 --> 00:14:20,096
Speaker 8: At least it was like no, you're back. But yeah,

337
00:14:20,136 --> 00:14:22,536
Speaker 8: that was that was That was anxiety field.

338
00:14:22,256 --> 00:14:22,736
Speaker 2: Game for me.

339
00:14:23,056 --> 00:14:24,696
Speaker 3: Teddy, thank you for coming by.

340
00:14:24,816 --> 00:14:25,696
Speaker 2: You can see my guy.

341
00:14:25,856 --> 00:14:43,735
Speaker 3: Okay, now we're gonna go over to Kobe.

342
00:14:43,456 --> 00:14:49,296
Speaker 4: Turner and who's had a good first year, really good

343
00:14:49,416 --> 00:14:53,296
Speaker 4: second year, but everyone kept going, you know, he can sing.

344
00:14:53,376 --> 00:14:54,296
Speaker 3: I didn't know if they want to make.

345
00:14:54,256 --> 00:14:55,896
Speaker 4: It, give him a record deal or something, or if

346
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:57,056
Speaker 4: they just want me to bring it up, which we

347
00:14:57,136 --> 00:14:58,856
Speaker 4: talked about it a lot, and so I went to

348
00:14:58,896 --> 00:14:59,376
Speaker 4: looked at him.

349
00:14:59,376 --> 00:15:00,336
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, he can really go.

350
00:15:00,496 --> 00:15:01,896
Speaker 2: Oh, he's multi talented.

351
00:15:01,976 --> 00:15:03,816
Speaker 5: When you talk about him as a football player, like

352
00:15:03,856 --> 00:15:06,456
Speaker 5: you said, he's got seventeen saxes for two season and

353
00:15:07,256 --> 00:15:09,416
Speaker 5: somewhat unexpected so to speak.

354
00:15:09,656 --> 00:15:11,376
Speaker 2: But he has really come on there.

355
00:15:11,496 --> 00:15:13,776
Speaker 5: But then, like you said, you go research this guy,

356
00:15:13,856 --> 00:15:15,656
Speaker 5: you watch him sing, and I'm like, this guy's got

357
00:15:15,656 --> 00:15:18,976
Speaker 5: some pipes. I'm really interested to hear what he has

358
00:15:19,016 --> 00:15:21,896
Speaker 5: to say when it comes to because he's done some shows,

359
00:15:21,896 --> 00:15:23,936
Speaker 5: hasn't he Like, yeah he did, he did mass singer,

360
00:15:24,136 --> 00:15:26,576
Speaker 5: He's performed the national anthem for like the Lakers and

361
00:15:26,576 --> 00:15:27,215
Speaker 5: all this stuff like that.

362
00:15:27,216 --> 00:15:29,456
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's got a career coming up.

363
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:31,016
Speaker 4: And people come to me all the time like this

364
00:15:31,056 --> 00:15:33,816
Speaker 4: person my cousin can sing, And then I hear him

365
00:15:33,856 --> 00:15:37,176
Speaker 4: like okay for your small town like yeah, yeah, but no,

366
00:15:37,296 --> 00:15:41,056
Speaker 4: like he's legit. The question as he comes up here. Now,

367
00:15:41,256 --> 00:15:44,416
Speaker 4: but that year one to year two where they go

368
00:15:44,616 --> 00:15:46,936
Speaker 4: that's the most development. Is that more of a cliche

369
00:15:47,016 --> 00:15:47,896
Speaker 4: or is that pretty true?

370
00:15:48,136 --> 00:15:50,216
Speaker 5: No? I think it's true because you come in and here.

371
00:15:50,896 --> 00:15:52,616
Speaker 5: By the time you're done with your rookie season, you

372
00:15:52,736 --> 00:15:56,016
Speaker 5: run on funds, but you've also been able to absorb

373
00:15:56,736 --> 00:16:00,256
Speaker 5: everything that's taken place. You've learned from the veterans in

374
00:16:00,296 --> 00:16:03,496
Speaker 5: front of you, understand the defensive structure. And then as

375
00:16:03,536 --> 00:16:05,856
Speaker 5: you come back, you hit the ground running in year

376
00:16:05,896 --> 00:16:08,056
Speaker 5: or two in that offseason and you start to develop

377
00:16:08,576 --> 00:16:11,536
Speaker 5: and you work on specific areas that you want to

378
00:16:11,576 --> 00:16:13,816
Speaker 5: get better at. And you could definitely see that show

379
00:16:13,896 --> 00:16:16,296
Speaker 5: up in his game this year because he was he

380
00:16:16,376 --> 00:16:18,176
Speaker 5: was an alpha out there for that defense and they

381
00:16:18,216 --> 00:16:18,656
Speaker 5: needed it.

382
00:16:18,776 --> 00:16:20,856
Speaker 3: Here he is coming up. Here's Kobe Turner.

383
00:16:21,496 --> 00:16:21,816
Speaker 2: Kobe.

384
00:16:21,896 --> 00:16:25,736
Speaker 4: Last couple of nights I was, I do comedy music

385
00:16:25,736 --> 00:16:27,376
Speaker 4: and we did a couple of shows. We did a land,

386
00:16:27,536 --> 00:16:30,496
Speaker 4: we did mobile and we came over here like, I'm funny,

387
00:16:30,536 --> 00:16:33,095
Speaker 4: but I kind of suck singing. So I don't know

388
00:16:33,136 --> 00:16:35,656
Speaker 4: if you're funny, but I know you don't suck singing.

389
00:16:35,816 --> 00:16:36,056
Speaker 2: Right.

390
00:16:37,056 --> 00:16:39,336
Speaker 3: When did you start to actually be good?

391
00:16:39,496 --> 00:16:39,776
Speaker 7: Though?

392
00:16:40,216 --> 00:16:41,456
Speaker 2: When that started to be good?

393
00:16:41,536 --> 00:16:44,256
Speaker 9: So my parents used to tell me that I used

394
00:16:44,256 --> 00:16:47,056
Speaker 9: to be singing with BB and CC windings. They'd be

395
00:16:47,096 --> 00:16:49,056
Speaker 9: playing on the on the radio and they're like, you

396
00:16:49,056 --> 00:16:50,216
Speaker 9: were hitting all the runs.

397
00:16:50,056 --> 00:16:50,656
Speaker 7: As a kid.

398
00:16:51,336 --> 00:16:53,816
Speaker 9: So I kind of just grew up around church music

399
00:16:53,976 --> 00:16:55,976
Speaker 9: and listening to that, and so that's kind of when

400
00:16:55,976 --> 00:16:59,296
Speaker 9: it really locked in. But you know, your voice changes

401
00:16:59,296 --> 00:17:02,496
Speaker 9: all the time. I think that I was solid in

402
00:17:02,576 --> 00:17:05,975
Speaker 9: high school, but definitely once we got to college, I

403
00:17:06,016 --> 00:17:07,576
Speaker 9: was like, Okay, I got a little something.

404
00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:08,856
Speaker 7: I got a little something to.

405
00:17:08,736 --> 00:17:12,255
Speaker 5: Me now for the Rookie Show? Was that something that

406
00:17:12,376 --> 00:17:14,775
Speaker 5: any like the Rookie Show is a big deal, right, Yeah?

407
00:17:14,856 --> 00:17:17,256
Speaker 5: And so I'm guessing you got up there and nobody

408
00:17:17,376 --> 00:17:18,975
Speaker 5: probably a lot of those guys didn't know.

409
00:17:19,536 --> 00:17:21,776
Speaker 2: So the crazy pipes that were about to be presented.

410
00:17:21,856 --> 00:17:23,656
Speaker 2: The craziest part is the RAMS didn't even have a

411
00:17:23,696 --> 00:17:25,335
Speaker 2: Rookie Show. Oh I was waiting for it.

412
00:17:25,376 --> 00:17:27,495
Speaker 9: Literally, me and my fiance were sitting there like, oh,

413
00:17:27,495 --> 00:17:30,455
Speaker 9: we're fine, blow this Rookie Show water, like, you know,

414
00:17:30,495 --> 00:17:32,255
Speaker 9: they better take a video or southing word for they

415
00:17:32,376 --> 00:17:35,295
Speaker 9: kill it. And there was no Rookie Show. So I

416
00:17:35,296 --> 00:17:36,816
Speaker 9: don't know what we're doing over there. We got to

417
00:17:36,856 --> 00:17:37,376
Speaker 9: get that going.

418
00:17:38,176 --> 00:17:39,856
Speaker 3: What's the biggest stage you sang on as far as

419
00:17:39,896 --> 00:17:40,816
Speaker 3: most people watching.

420
00:17:40,696 --> 00:17:44,096
Speaker 2: Mass definitely Mass Singer. I definitely think Mass singer.

421
00:17:44,495 --> 00:17:48,856
Speaker 4: That process is weird because you can't tell anybody right,

422
00:17:48,936 --> 00:17:51,296
Speaker 4: they lock it down, right, You got to wear a

423
00:17:51,296 --> 00:17:51,896
Speaker 4: big costume.

424
00:17:53,696 --> 00:17:54,856
Speaker 3: What what do you do?

425
00:17:55,215 --> 00:17:59,056
Speaker 4: Because they they shoot them and how how quickly do

426
00:17:59,096 --> 00:18:00,256
Speaker 4: they shoot the episodes?

427
00:18:00,656 --> 00:18:03,735
Speaker 9: So the whole process probably takes I think the first

428
00:18:03,776 --> 00:18:06,975
Speaker 9: episode took about four hours because everything was kind of going,

429
00:18:07,376 --> 00:18:10,376
Speaker 9: and then as people get knocked down, it takes probably

430
00:18:10,376 --> 00:18:13,016
Speaker 9: around three hours. But the hard part is so moving

431
00:18:13,016 --> 00:18:16,015
Speaker 9: in that costume. Like everything takes double the stam and

432
00:18:16,096 --> 00:18:19,416
Speaker 9: a double HB. So on the last episode of the

433
00:18:19,455 --> 00:18:21,336
Speaker 9: group they were like, give a lot of energy in

434
00:18:21,376 --> 00:18:23,376
Speaker 9: the group song. We pre record the group song, but

435
00:18:23,416 --> 00:18:25,255
Speaker 9: everything else is live. So I was giving a lot

436
00:18:25,256 --> 00:18:27,536
Speaker 9: of energy dancing. But I was the first person up.

437
00:18:27,735 --> 00:18:29,775
Speaker 9: So I'm backstage. I walk back stage and I'm just

438
00:18:29,816 --> 00:18:32,295
Speaker 9: catching my breath for ten minutes straight because I have

439
00:18:32,376 --> 00:18:34,616
Speaker 9: to go out there and deliver like a solid vocus

440
00:18:34,776 --> 00:18:35,896
Speaker 9: just me live now.

441
00:18:36,975 --> 00:18:38,896
Speaker 3: But that's unfair. They got you if you have to

442
00:18:38,896 --> 00:18:39,975
Speaker 3: go front, Yeah, that's unfair.

443
00:18:40,016 --> 00:18:42,295
Speaker 9: They I have the biggest costume too, everybody else just

444
00:18:42,336 --> 00:18:44,576
Speaker 9: had like body suits and maybe like the wasp at

445
00:18:44,616 --> 00:18:48,055
Speaker 9: a little thing on the back. Buffalos were just in

446
00:18:48,256 --> 00:18:50,975
Speaker 9: like a it was basically a bodysuit. And I'm carrying

447
00:18:51,016 --> 00:18:53,176
Speaker 9: this big thing that has shoulders. You know, I have

448
00:18:53,256 --> 00:18:55,376
Speaker 9: my head sticking up on top on these poles in

449
00:18:55,416 --> 00:18:58,136
Speaker 9: the back and I can't even like touch my own chests,

450
00:18:58,215 --> 00:18:59,015
Speaker 9: like I can't move.

451
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:02,136
Speaker 2: But but no, it was, it was. It was incredible.

452
00:19:02,176 --> 00:19:03,775
Speaker 9: And if you have a if you have an NFL

453
00:19:03,896 --> 00:19:06,015
Speaker 9: defensive lineman, why would you not put them in a

454
00:19:06,016 --> 00:19:08,056
Speaker 9: big costume, Like somebody's gonna have to wear a big costume.

455
00:19:08,136 --> 00:19:08,656
Speaker 7: Might not be me.

456
00:19:08,896 --> 00:19:10,736
Speaker 4: They should have given you a breakdown like they were

457
00:19:10,735 --> 00:19:12,376
Speaker 4: really depending on your cardio in that situation.

458
00:19:12,455 --> 00:19:14,296
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were. Well, let's talk about it on the field.

459
00:19:14,296 --> 00:19:17,456
Speaker 5: I mean, you've exploded these first two seasons, seventeen sacks

460
00:19:18,016 --> 00:19:22,575
Speaker 5: and your nickname, I love the conductor, sir. Right, you

461
00:19:22,696 --> 00:19:25,936
Speaker 5: come out and after a sack, you've got to tell

462
00:19:26,016 --> 00:19:28,016
Speaker 5: me about the celebration, the sack celebration.

463
00:19:28,096 --> 00:19:30,296
Speaker 2: When you came up with it, when it hit your mind. Yeah,

464
00:19:30,296 --> 00:19:31,816
Speaker 2: so I came up with it in college.

465
00:19:31,936 --> 00:19:33,815
Speaker 9: We were dancing around in the locker room and I

466
00:19:33,896 --> 00:19:35,576
Speaker 9: just started conducting a little bit. So one of the

467
00:19:35,576 --> 00:19:37,296
Speaker 9: guys was like, you have to do it as a celebration.

468
00:19:37,696 --> 00:19:40,016
Speaker 9: So next game out, I get a sack. I think

469
00:19:40,056 --> 00:19:42,975
Speaker 9: it's the safety so I start conducting and so it

470
00:19:43,416 --> 00:19:46,815
Speaker 9: wasn't as clean as it is now. But then the

471
00:19:46,856 --> 00:19:49,015
Speaker 9: next game I went to actually try to draw the

472
00:19:49,056 --> 00:19:51,376
Speaker 9: Disney like ears and be like it's Disney.

473
00:19:51,176 --> 00:19:51,856
Speaker 2: Channel or whatever.

474
00:19:52,056 --> 00:19:54,735
Speaker 9: But the announcers like, the conductor's conducting again, so I

475
00:19:54,776 --> 00:19:56,016
Speaker 9: was like, I guess it's sticking.

476
00:19:56,856 --> 00:19:57,455
Speaker 2: So fast.

477
00:19:57,975 --> 00:19:58,816
Speaker 7: Fast forward to.

478
00:20:00,495 --> 00:20:01,176
Speaker 2: My rookie year.

479
00:20:01,256 --> 00:20:03,656
Speaker 9: My first game, I get a half sack and I

480
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:06,055
Speaker 9: just start conducting like this, and one of my teammates,

481
00:20:06,056 --> 00:20:07,936
Speaker 9: stray Thomlinson, He's like, you got to slow it down,

482
00:20:08,016 --> 00:20:10,735
Speaker 9: like you gotta relax. So then Arizona game, I just,

483
00:20:10,856 --> 00:20:13,936
Speaker 9: you know, breathe, and I have experienced conducting. I've conducted

484
00:20:13,975 --> 00:20:17,255
Speaker 9: a choir, I've taking classes. My you know degree in

485
00:20:17,776 --> 00:20:20,055
Speaker 9: college was in music. So it's like, okay, just be

486
00:20:20,096 --> 00:20:23,055
Speaker 9: in that moment, gather everybody, prepare them with the breath,

487
00:20:23,215 --> 00:20:25,376
Speaker 9: and then go ahead and go through it. And then

488
00:20:25,696 --> 00:20:27,975
Speaker 9: the little throw by I guess is a is a

489
00:20:28,016 --> 00:20:29,656
Speaker 9: nod to my fiance as well.

490
00:20:29,936 --> 00:20:33,455
Speaker 4: I've seen the sacks where you dominate the guy off

491
00:20:33,455 --> 00:20:37,376
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, you're on the quarterback down. What's

492
00:20:37,416 --> 00:20:39,376
Speaker 4: your best accidental sack where you're like, oh, I can't

493
00:20:39,376 --> 00:20:41,336
Speaker 4: believe he went down, like you like flipped his ankle,

494
00:20:41,416 --> 00:20:43,536
Speaker 4: and you like, can you think of an accidental sack

495
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:45,455
Speaker 4: you got, Well, you're like, I can't believe that just happened.

496
00:20:45,656 --> 00:20:47,256
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I think of.

497
00:20:48,975 --> 00:20:51,455
Speaker 9: Well, really, the first one on Rock Party this year,

498
00:20:51,936 --> 00:20:54,775
Speaker 9: I really missed him, like I was falling down, but

499
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:57,376
Speaker 9: he went to go jump into the old line and

500
00:20:57,416 --> 00:20:58,896
Speaker 9: I just like had my hand on him, but I

501
00:20:58,896 --> 00:21:01,336
Speaker 9: didn't like bring him down that time.

502
00:21:01,176 --> 00:21:02,376
Speaker 2: So that one was accidental.

503
00:21:02,376 --> 00:21:05,535
Speaker 9: And then I think last year versus the Giant, so

504
00:21:05,576 --> 00:21:07,215
Speaker 9: it was one of my two and a half. That game,

505
00:21:07,495 --> 00:21:10,296
Speaker 9: we worked an enter your stunt when base personnel they're

506
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:12,975
Speaker 9: out in twelve feet and it looks like they're gonna

507
00:21:13,416 --> 00:21:15,576
Speaker 9: run the ball, play action pass. We work a little

508
00:21:15,576 --> 00:21:18,536
Speaker 9: stunt and then Tyrod Taylor starts going around the edge

509
00:21:18,576 --> 00:21:20,416
Speaker 9: and I, you know, i'd like to consider him.

510
00:21:20,455 --> 00:21:22,936
Speaker 2: I'm an athlete, but I'm not Tyrod Taylor fast.

511
00:21:23,096 --> 00:21:25,495
Speaker 9: So I just dive out and I barely clip his ankles,

512
00:21:25,735 --> 00:21:27,735
Speaker 9: and so that one was cool. But I've tried that

513
00:21:27,776 --> 00:21:29,815
Speaker 9: same tackle on Kyler Murray a couple of times and

514
00:21:30,176 --> 00:21:33,416
Speaker 9: you just you can't clip his feat He has two

515
00:21:33,416 --> 00:21:35,216
Speaker 9: feet in the ground all the time because of how

516
00:21:35,256 --> 00:21:36,136
Speaker 9: shortest strides are.

517
00:21:36,176 --> 00:21:38,255
Speaker 2: But I'd say those two were some of the Accidentally.

518
00:21:38,455 --> 00:21:40,136
Speaker 5: Is there one guy that you'd say in the NFL

519
00:21:40,136 --> 00:21:42,215
Speaker 5: at the quarterback position that you hate going up against

520
00:21:42,215 --> 00:21:45,776
Speaker 5: because of the your your inability to get this guy

521
00:21:45,856 --> 00:21:47,856
Speaker 5: down or he makes you miss in the pocket even

522
00:21:47,896 --> 00:21:48,936
Speaker 5: though you're in a great position.

523
00:21:49,376 --> 00:21:51,535
Speaker 2: So I would say Kyler is one of the hardest

524
00:21:51,536 --> 00:21:52,255
Speaker 2: guys to tackle.

525
00:21:52,495 --> 00:21:55,736
Speaker 9: But also when you execute the tackling plan and when

526
00:21:55,776 --> 00:21:59,296
Speaker 9: you're when you're collapsing the pocket five is one, then

527
00:21:59,336 --> 00:22:01,496
Speaker 9: it's it's a whole lot easier for him to because

528
00:22:01,495 --> 00:22:04,735
Speaker 9: he can't really see around and so if everybody's collapsing in.

529
00:22:05,056 --> 00:22:07,376
Speaker 9: But there is one play, I mean, I come clean

530
00:22:07,416 --> 00:22:09,416
Speaker 9: off of a stunt. This is our last game against him,

531
00:22:09,656 --> 00:22:11,775
Speaker 9: and I'm right there, and coaches are like, he likes

532
00:22:11,816 --> 00:22:13,495
Speaker 9: to escape to the sideline, Like he's going to try

533
00:22:13,495 --> 00:22:15,735
Speaker 9: to scramble to the sideline, So he starts to bolt

534
00:22:15,735 --> 00:22:17,896
Speaker 9: out to the sideline. I flipped my hips that way

535
00:22:18,096 --> 00:22:19,815
Speaker 9: and then he just does a little spin, so I

536
00:22:19,856 --> 00:22:21,896
Speaker 9: literally spin in place, and then I think fist ends

537
00:22:21,975 --> 00:22:22,536
Speaker 9: up picking.

538
00:22:22,336 --> 00:22:23,696
Speaker 2: Up the sack and I'm like, come on, like that

539
00:22:23,816 --> 00:22:26,256
Speaker 2: was mine. So he's he's annoying to get down.

540
00:22:26,296 --> 00:22:29,055
Speaker 9: But once everybody's kind of collapsing in on him, you know,

541
00:22:29,056 --> 00:22:30,095
Speaker 9: it's a little bit easier.

542
00:22:30,176 --> 00:22:32,176
Speaker 4: I congrats on the first two seasons, looking forward to

543
00:22:32,336 --> 00:22:34,136
Speaker 4: next season and just seeing the growth.

544
00:22:34,136 --> 00:22:36,416
Speaker 3: That's it's really cool to see season one, season two growth.

545
00:22:36,696 --> 00:22:37,215
Speaker 2: That's exciting.

546
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:39,416
Speaker 3: See thank you for the time, really appreciated. That's all.

547
00:22:39,416 --> 00:22:40,616
Speaker 7: Congratulations, Thank you.

548
00:22:56,856 --> 00:22:58,096
Speaker 3: This next one's super cool for me.

549
00:22:58,215 --> 00:23:01,096
Speaker 4: I spent a lot of years twelve years in Austin

550
00:23:01,096 --> 00:23:02,696
Speaker 4: and Drew Brees played high school ball in Austin.

551
00:23:04,215 --> 00:23:05,735
Speaker 3: Didn't really get rud.

552
00:23:05,616 --> 00:23:07,295
Speaker 4: It enough to go to a Texas or Texas A

553
00:23:07,336 --> 00:23:09,376
Speaker 4: and m you know, goes to Purdue, but is a

554
00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:12,936
Speaker 4: legend in Texas, is a legend here in Louisiana, New

555
00:23:13,056 --> 00:23:14,416
Speaker 4: Orleans because of the Saints.

556
00:23:14,616 --> 00:23:16,696
Speaker 3: Do you have any relationship do you know Drew at all?

557
00:23:16,856 --> 00:23:19,616
Speaker 5: I've known Drew for a really long time, not only

558
00:23:19,656 --> 00:23:21,696
Speaker 5: on the field, but I've seen him at a bunch

559
00:23:21,735 --> 00:23:25,295
Speaker 5: of different functions off the field and just an incredible person.

560
00:23:25,416 --> 00:23:27,576
Speaker 5: And I used to love watching this guy play. I've

561
00:23:27,616 --> 00:23:29,336
Speaker 5: got so much respect for him because even when you

562
00:23:29,416 --> 00:23:31,296
Speaker 5: go back when I first came in the league, he

563
00:23:31,376 --> 00:23:33,816
Speaker 5: was with San Diego and how that whole situation went

564
00:23:33,896 --> 00:23:36,256
Speaker 5: down when he got hurt and blew out his shoulder,

565
00:23:36,616 --> 00:23:39,576
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers takes over. They really drafted him to take

566
00:23:39,616 --> 00:23:43,496
Speaker 5: over for Drew prior to him leaving. And then when

567
00:23:43,495 --> 00:23:46,216
Speaker 5: the situation haven't, you thought maybe he'll never return, which

568
00:23:46,256 --> 00:23:48,255
Speaker 5: would have been a travesty because we all saw what

569
00:23:48,336 --> 00:23:50,536
Speaker 5: he was able to do when he did come back.

570
00:23:50,576 --> 00:23:53,016
Speaker 5: But then to come here to the city of New Orleans,

571
00:23:53,136 --> 00:23:58,215
Speaker 5: and I know what an impact he's made throughout this community,

572
00:23:58,376 --> 00:24:01,456
Speaker 5: especially during Katrina and all the different stuff that he's

573
00:24:01,455 --> 00:24:05,856
Speaker 5: implemented through his charitable foundation. He's really a love figure

574
00:24:05,896 --> 00:24:07,096
Speaker 5: here and deservedly so.

575
00:24:07,576 --> 00:24:07,736
Speaker 7: Here.

576
00:24:07,735 --> 00:24:13,535
Speaker 3: He is legend. Drew Brees, Yeah, we got off. So

577
00:24:13,536 --> 00:24:15,256
Speaker 3: I don't know what quarterbacks talk about when they meet.

578
00:24:15,296 --> 00:24:16,575
Speaker 3: I said, so, I don't know.

579
00:24:16,616 --> 00:24:18,696
Speaker 4: You guys do your thing like, don't like a secret handshake,

580
00:24:18,776 --> 00:24:19,896
Speaker 4: quarterback handshake.

581
00:24:19,936 --> 00:24:23,736
Speaker 1: It's all love, all love, just just a general understanding

582
00:24:23,455 --> 00:24:23,696
Speaker 1: of the.

583
00:24:24,215 --> 00:24:27,416
Speaker 2: Grind, grind, the respect for one another.

584
00:24:27,816 --> 00:24:30,736
Speaker 5: It's funny because I think that other positions they might

585
00:24:30,776 --> 00:24:32,975
Speaker 5: be a little bit more competitive in some ways. And

586
00:24:33,016 --> 00:24:35,176
Speaker 5: I know we're competitive, but once you're done with the game,

587
00:24:35,256 --> 00:24:38,095
Speaker 5: we're always like, hey, man, what's up. You know, come up,

588
00:24:38,136 --> 00:24:40,575
Speaker 5: give a hug, ask about the family. It's just, you know,

589
00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:42,775
Speaker 5: it's the respect that everybody has for one another.

590
00:24:43,016 --> 00:24:45,775
Speaker 3: But did jersey swap a thing as you were ending?

591
00:24:46,536 --> 00:24:49,896
Speaker 2: Yeah? Thats as my career was ending. Yeah, that became

592
00:24:49,936 --> 00:24:50,256
Speaker 2: a thing.

593
00:24:50,696 --> 00:24:52,256
Speaker 3: Did everybody want yours and annoys?

594
00:24:52,336 --> 00:24:55,775
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, there's I did it a few times.

595
00:24:56,336 --> 00:25:00,136
Speaker 1: I would I would rarely proactively go and ask for.

596
00:25:00,096 --> 00:25:00,816
Speaker 7: A jersey swamp.

597
00:25:00,816 --> 00:25:03,376
Speaker 1: In fact, I only did it one time, and it

598
00:25:03,495 --> 00:25:08,176
Speaker 1: was a Christmas Day game in twenty nineteen. We played

599
00:25:08,215 --> 00:25:12,816
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings because my son, Balen, my oldest son,

600
00:25:13,416 --> 00:25:16,896
Speaker 1: loved Justin Jefferson and it was Jay Jeddah's rookie season

601
00:25:17,296 --> 00:25:19,616
Speaker 1: and he's like, Dad, could you please do a jersey

602
00:25:19,616 --> 00:25:20,696
Speaker 1: swap with Jets?

603
00:25:21,176 --> 00:25:22,696
Speaker 2: And I was like, all right, son, I got you.

604
00:25:22,816 --> 00:25:25,096
Speaker 2: Because my son's birthday was coming up. That's amazing.

605
00:25:25,616 --> 00:25:29,576
Speaker 1: It'll be my birthday present, So I seeped out justin

606
00:25:29,616 --> 00:25:31,016
Speaker 1: after the game, I'm like, hey, man.

607
00:25:31,176 --> 00:25:32,455
Speaker 6: Will you swap jerseys with me?

608
00:25:32,576 --> 00:25:34,015
Speaker 2: This for my son? Like this would be in the

609
00:25:34,016 --> 00:25:34,656
Speaker 2: world to him.

610
00:25:34,896 --> 00:25:37,975
Speaker 1: So he autographed it, you know, to Balen and I

611
00:25:38,016 --> 00:25:41,696
Speaker 1: think the caption was hit the gritty and in signed

612
00:25:41,696 --> 00:25:44,176
Speaker 1: it and literally that it hangs in my son's room

613
00:25:44,215 --> 00:25:44,696
Speaker 1: to this day.

614
00:25:44,776 --> 00:25:47,656
Speaker 5: So pretty awesome. Can you imagine if you're justin Jefferson,

615
00:25:47,696 --> 00:25:49,455
Speaker 5: like you're a rookie and Drew Brees, one of the

616
00:25:49,495 --> 00:25:51,975
Speaker 5: greatest of all time, comes up and says, this is

617
00:25:52,016 --> 00:25:54,696
Speaker 5: my first jersey swap ever, Hey, can I have your

618
00:25:54,776 --> 00:25:57,815
Speaker 5: jersey for my son? And he's like, absolutely, I'd.

619
00:25:57,735 --> 00:25:58,256
Speaker 2: Ritten my thing.

620
00:25:58,296 --> 00:26:00,255
Speaker 7: I'd be like, that's.

621
00:25:59,656 --> 00:26:01,856
Speaker 2: Incredible, that's cool. How about the super Bowl being here

622
00:26:01,896 --> 00:26:02,656
Speaker 2: in New Orleans.

623
00:26:02,816 --> 00:26:07,336
Speaker 5: You obviously had credible career here, but just the city

624
00:26:07,376 --> 00:26:10,936
Speaker 5: and what it means to you, it means.

625
00:26:10,656 --> 00:26:12,416
Speaker 2: So much and it just makes me proud.

626
00:26:12,455 --> 00:26:14,536
Speaker 1: It makes me proud of how far the city's come,

627
00:26:14,616 --> 00:26:17,176
Speaker 1: especially post Katrina. You know, it's been almost almost twenty

628
00:26:17,256 --> 00:26:20,096
Speaker 1: years now, hard to believe, but the way that the

629
00:26:20,096 --> 00:26:23,815
Speaker 1: city continues just to respond, you know, through adversity and

630
00:26:23,896 --> 00:26:26,896
Speaker 1: the amount of resilience that and you know, we look

631
00:26:26,936 --> 00:26:30,495
Speaker 1: at the tragedy of the terrace, you know, attack on

632
00:26:30,735 --> 00:26:33,455
Speaker 1: New Year's Day, and yet I think this is just

633
00:26:33,576 --> 00:26:36,176
Speaker 1: the city just has a way to come together and

634
00:26:36,376 --> 00:26:39,455
Speaker 1: continue to put their best foot forward. Man, just driving

635
00:26:39,495 --> 00:26:43,096
Speaker 1: around town. Yeah, the atmosphere and the energy is pretty awesome.

636
00:26:43,136 --> 00:26:45,696
Speaker 1: Like there's no city that can host a super Bowl

637
00:26:45,816 --> 00:26:48,176
Speaker 1: like this and keep it so tight, you know, like

638
00:26:48,256 --> 00:26:51,815
Speaker 1: French Quarter, CBD Warehouse district, like literally all that is

639
00:26:51,856 --> 00:26:54,296
Speaker 1: just walking distance. And then there's the supernome kind of

640
00:26:54,336 --> 00:26:56,815
Speaker 1: bordering you know, to the north there and you got

641
00:26:56,816 --> 00:26:59,536
Speaker 1: Mississippi River right here next to us. And so like, man,

642
00:26:59,576 --> 00:27:02,896
Speaker 1: we're just all in this like little melting pot together

643
00:27:02,936 --> 00:27:05,096
Speaker 1: and you got all the great restaurants and live music

644
00:27:05,176 --> 00:27:07,416
Speaker 1: venue using event venues, and here we are in the

645
00:27:07,416 --> 00:27:09,616
Speaker 1: Convention Center at Radio Row, and so like there's just

646
00:27:09,656 --> 00:27:13,056
Speaker 1: an energy and a vibe to it, like parties and festivals.

647
00:27:13,056 --> 00:27:14,255
Speaker 2: That's what New Orleans does.

648
00:27:14,536 --> 00:27:18,136
Speaker 1: Like Marty Grass every year is ridiculous, Jazz Best every

649
00:27:18,176 --> 00:27:19,216
Speaker 1: year is ridiculous.

650
00:27:19,416 --> 00:27:21,576
Speaker 2: So I think this is just what New Orleans really

651
00:27:21,656 --> 00:27:22,416
Speaker 2: take pride in.

652
00:27:22,856 --> 00:27:24,735
Speaker 1: And it's more so like, man, not only do we

653
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:26,176
Speaker 1: want you to show you a good time, but we

654
00:27:26,215 --> 00:27:28,215
Speaker 1: just want you to experience what this culture is all about.

655
00:27:28,696 --> 00:27:31,015
Speaker 4: I was at the super Bowl in Miami when you

656
00:27:31,056 --> 00:27:33,815
Speaker 4: guys want won a game. The onside kicked out to

657
00:27:33,896 --> 00:27:37,455
Speaker 4: me is my most mimid vivid play memory.

658
00:27:37,776 --> 00:27:39,456
Speaker 3: Did you know that was coming.

659
00:27:40,296 --> 00:27:43,056
Speaker 4: Like we're going out, We're gonna kick an onside kick?

660
00:27:43,656 --> 00:27:44,936
Speaker 4: Or was it a surprise to you like it was

661
00:27:45,016 --> 00:27:46,136
Speaker 4: everybody else in the whole world.

662
00:27:46,256 --> 00:27:48,295
Speaker 1: No, we wanted it to be a surprise to everybody

663
00:27:48,336 --> 00:27:50,015
Speaker 1: in the whole world, but we knew it was coming.

664
00:27:50,896 --> 00:27:53,936
Speaker 2: First meeting of the week of preparation, Sean came in.

665
00:27:53,975 --> 00:27:57,576
Speaker 1: Look, we were playing the Indianapolis Colts, which everyone thought were untouchable, right,

666
00:27:57,616 --> 00:27:59,775
Speaker 1: I mean they really could have been undefeated up to

667
00:27:59,816 --> 00:28:01,495
Speaker 1: that point because they had rested all their starters the

668
00:28:01,576 --> 00:28:03,775
Speaker 1: last two weeks in the season, right, So like they

669
00:28:03,776 --> 00:28:05,096
Speaker 1: were this indomitable force.

670
00:28:05,376 --> 00:28:06,376
Speaker 2: How are we going to stop him?

671
00:28:06,376 --> 00:28:08,176
Speaker 1: So Sean knew deep down, like, no, we're gonna have

672
00:28:08,215 --> 00:28:12,136
Speaker 1: to steal a possession somehow, And so he had this

673
00:28:12,376 --> 00:28:14,896
Speaker 1: idea for this onside kick. Thomas Morstead, who was our

674
00:28:14,936 --> 00:28:17,416
Speaker 1: rookie punter, but he was our kickoff guy. Kind of

675
00:28:17,455 --> 00:28:20,296
Speaker 1: had like this little, this unique, little kind of side

676
00:28:20,336 --> 00:28:23,495
Speaker 1: spin kick that you know, just drifted past ten yards,

677
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:24,936
Speaker 1: and you know, we felt like it was a great

678
00:28:24,936 --> 00:28:29,376
Speaker 1: advantage for us. So we nicknamed that play ambush, right,

679
00:28:29,576 --> 00:28:30,776
Speaker 1: very very aptly named.

680
00:28:30,816 --> 00:28:32,696
Speaker 2: And so right at the start of the week, he's like,

681
00:28:32,816 --> 00:28:33,416
Speaker 2: it's not a.

682
00:28:33,376 --> 00:28:36,136
Speaker 1: Matter of if we're calling it, it's when, right, So

683
00:28:36,176 --> 00:28:39,696
Speaker 1: immediately you're just like, oh, man, can you believe we're

684
00:28:39,856 --> 00:28:41,576
Speaker 1: going to kick an onside kick in this game at

685
00:28:41,576 --> 00:28:41,936
Speaker 1: some point?

686
00:28:42,016 --> 00:28:42,216
Speaker 2: Right?

687
00:28:42,296 --> 00:28:44,176
Speaker 1: And like we we kind of knew. Look, and he's

688
00:28:44,176 --> 00:28:45,976
Speaker 1: gonna come out. They played in this game three years ago.

689
00:28:46,616 --> 00:28:49,856
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna be comfortable, they're gonna start fast. All

690
00:28:49,896 --> 00:28:51,416
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're down ten nothing. It was like,

691
00:28:51,496 --> 00:28:53,936
Speaker 1: dang it, what happened? But then we kind of clar

692
00:28:53,936 --> 00:28:56,336
Speaker 1: our way back and it's ten six going into a halftime,

693
00:28:56,336 --> 00:28:58,736
Speaker 1: and we're about to kick off the ball, and you know,

694
00:28:59,176 --> 00:29:01,136
Speaker 1: so much of like being a great play caller and

695
00:29:01,136 --> 00:29:04,136
Speaker 1: being a great coach is just timing right. And and

696
00:29:04,296 --> 00:29:07,416
Speaker 1: Sean comes in literally right to start a halftime and goes,

697
00:29:07,696 --> 00:29:10,456
Speaker 1: all right, we're starting to be half off with ambush,

698
00:29:10,616 --> 00:29:11,976
Speaker 1: and so all of a sudden, You're just like, oh,

699
00:29:12,696 --> 00:29:13,136
Speaker 1: we go.

700
00:29:13,776 --> 00:29:15,656
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're gonna do it, you know. But

701
00:29:15,696 --> 00:29:18,216
Speaker 2: then you're also like it has to work, Like it

702
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:19,336
Speaker 2: has to work. It can't not.

703
00:29:19,376 --> 00:29:21,936
Speaker 1: Work, right, Yeah, And then sure enough we get the

704
00:29:21,976 --> 00:29:24,136
Speaker 1: on side kick after that scrum, and then we go

705
00:29:24,176 --> 00:29:25,376
Speaker 1: down and score, and then all of a sudden, like

706
00:29:25,416 --> 00:29:28,176
Speaker 1: the momentum just shifts right and we were down ten notnths,

707
00:29:28,176 --> 00:29:30,016
Speaker 1: and now we're up thirteen ten in the third quarter,

708
00:29:30,056 --> 00:29:32,496
Speaker 1: and it's now you kind of have this glimmer of hope, like, dude,

709
00:29:32,496 --> 00:29:33,696
Speaker 1: we can beat these guys.

710
00:29:33,496 --> 00:29:38,256
Speaker 5: Right, You know, you were the ultimate competitor when you played.

711
00:29:38,416 --> 00:29:41,016
Speaker 5: Is now that you're not playing anymore, is it? Do

712
00:29:41,056 --> 00:29:43,296
Speaker 5: you miss it? Do you feel like, yeah, do you

713
00:29:43,336 --> 00:29:45,256
Speaker 5: miss the Sundays? You missed the locker room? I know

714
00:29:45,296 --> 00:29:48,256
Speaker 5: all of us as players, once you're done and you're

715
00:29:48,296 --> 00:29:51,815
Speaker 5: out out of that element and that environment, so to speak,

716
00:29:51,856 --> 00:29:54,016
Speaker 5: But do you do you miss the locker room and

717
00:29:54,056 --> 00:29:55,095
Speaker 5: the people and playing.

718
00:29:55,256 --> 00:29:58,736
Speaker 1: So I do, and much like you, you know, I

719
00:29:58,776 --> 00:30:00,896
Speaker 1: you missed the locker room because you missed the fellows.

720
00:30:01,096 --> 00:30:04,575
Speaker 1: You miss miss you know, just those those lighthearted moments,

721
00:30:04,616 --> 00:30:07,256
Speaker 1: you know, and also in a lot of ways you

722
00:30:07,296 --> 00:30:10,216
Speaker 1: missed the grind, you know, Yeah, those are stressful moments

723
00:30:10,256 --> 00:30:12,656
Speaker 1: in the preparation, you know, throughout the week, but there

724
00:30:12,736 --> 00:30:16,696
Speaker 1: is this there's this finality to the week of Man,

725
00:30:16,696 --> 00:30:18,575

728
00:30:23,096 --> 00:30:26,096
Speaker 1: So you can truly define like your week of preparation

729
00:30:26,256 --> 00:30:28,416
Speaker 1: by the result of the game, right, and you kind

730
00:30:28,416 --> 00:30:31,136
Speaker 1: of build this process accordingly. The other part is just

731
00:30:31,256 --> 00:30:33,056
Speaker 1: that game day feeling, right when you walk on the

732
00:30:33,056 --> 00:30:34,815
Speaker 1: field and you know you've got this whole week of

733
00:30:34,816 --> 00:30:37,216
Speaker 1: work in preparation behind you, and you just go out

734
00:30:37,216 --> 00:30:39,456
Speaker 1: with this feeling of kind of invincibility, like, Man, I've

735

741
00:30:52,456 --> 00:30:55,096
Speaker 1: it's hard to replicate that, you know, in any other

742
00:30:55,176 --> 00:30:58,376
Speaker 1: line of work, but I think that's what you look

743
00:30:58,416 --> 00:31:00,656
Speaker 1: back on with just so many incredible members.

744
00:31:00,856 --> 00:31:02,936

00:31:16,136 --> 00:31:20,176
Speaker 3: at all? And how? And do you follow Purdue football.

752
00:31:19,816 --> 00:31:21,576
Speaker 4: To the point of like give him a few bucks

753
00:31:21,576 --> 00:31:22,456
Speaker 4: like I do Arkansas?

754
00:31:22,536 --> 00:31:24,296
Speaker 3: Like, well, like what do you do there?

755
00:31:24,896 --> 00:31:28,056
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've always been a huge supporter of the Purdue

756
00:31:28,096 --> 00:31:29,976
Speaker 1: football program and the school in general.

757
00:31:29,976 --> 00:31:31,576
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I was a Texas kid. I never

758
00:31:31,576 --> 00:31:33,176
Speaker 2: thought I'd end up at Purdue University.

759
00:31:33,296 --> 00:31:35,696
Speaker 1: I didn't even know where Purdue was right until he

760
00:31:35,776 --> 00:31:39,536
Speaker 1: started recruiting me. But very quickly I realized what a

761
00:31:39,536 --> 00:31:42,536
Speaker 1: special place it is, what an incredible college experience it is,

762
00:31:42,576 --> 00:31:44,136
Speaker 1: And like I had a chance to go there and

763
00:31:44,136 --> 00:31:45,976
Speaker 1: play for a great head coach and Joe Tiller throw

764
00:31:46,016 --> 00:31:47,776
Speaker 1: the ball fifty times a game like it just it

765
00:31:47,856 --> 00:31:49,896
Speaker 1: developed me as quarterback, as a leader, as a person

766
00:31:49,936 --> 00:31:51,656
Speaker 1: in so many ways. I met my wife there, got

767
00:31:51,696 --> 00:31:54,176
Speaker 1: an incredible education there, So I can't say enough good

768
00:31:54,176 --> 00:31:57,696
Speaker 1: things or have you know enough pride for Purdue University.

769
00:31:58,576 --> 00:32:00,416
Speaker 2: Man, this was a tough year for Purdue.

770
00:32:00,456 --> 00:32:03,376
Speaker 1: You know, you go one in ten, really struggled, like

771
00:32:03,456 --> 00:32:07,176
Speaker 1: really really struggled. And look, we're in a crazy time

772
00:32:07,216 --> 00:32:11,256
Speaker 1: with an il and transfer portal, right, and it's it's

773
00:32:11,296 --> 00:32:13,616
Speaker 1: become like who has the bigger budget, you know, to

774
00:32:13,656 --> 00:32:16,736
Speaker 1: go out and buy players in free agency?

775
00:32:16,816 --> 00:32:18,176
Speaker 2: That's truly what it's become, you know.

776
00:32:18,256 --> 00:32:22,096
Speaker 1: And so I think I think we need to get

777
00:32:22,136 --> 00:32:24,296
Speaker 1: back to kind of like the true essence and the

778
00:32:24,336 --> 00:32:28,096
Speaker 1: purity of college football and that experience and like the

779
00:32:28,176 --> 00:32:31,256
Speaker 1: development of what that is. Like that should be the

780
00:32:31,296 --> 00:32:35,216
Speaker 1: opportunity for guys to go somewhere with a commitment, like, Man,

781
00:32:35,296 --> 00:32:37,176
Speaker 1: I'm in this right and I'm in it with the

782
00:32:37,176 --> 00:32:39,456
Speaker 1: guys that I'm walking in the door with right now,

783
00:32:39,496 --> 00:32:42,896
Speaker 1: and nobody's leaving. Like we're iron sharpens iron, Like we're

784
00:32:42,896 --> 00:32:44,896
Speaker 1: gonna get the best out of each other. And man,

785
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:47,216
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to face failure and face disappointment. We're

786
00:32:47,216 --> 00:32:49,336
Speaker 1: gonna grow and we're gonna develop through this, and by

787
00:32:49,336 --> 00:32:52,096
Speaker 1: the end of this journey, we're gonna leave here champions.

788
00:32:52,176 --> 00:32:54,336
Speaker 2: Like that was our That was our mantra. When I

789
00:32:54,376 --> 00:32:55,456
Speaker 2: got there as a fresh we.

790
00:32:55,336 --> 00:32:58,136
Speaker 1: Were the last place team in the Big Ten when

791
00:32:58,176 --> 00:33:00,616
Speaker 1: we all got there, and everybody was talking all kinds

792
00:33:00,616 --> 00:33:01,976
Speaker 1: of smack about our recruiting class.

793
00:33:02,056 --> 00:33:04,376
Speaker 2: Right, And by the time we leave, we're Big Ten champs. Right,

794
00:33:04,376 --> 00:33:05,616
Speaker 2: So there's somebody be said for.

795
00:33:05,576 --> 00:33:08,136
Speaker 1: That journey and then how that equips you to do

796
00:33:08,456 --> 00:33:09,496
Speaker 1: things later in life.

797
00:33:09,576 --> 00:33:12,176
Speaker 2: So I just want to make sure we're not robbing.

798

Speaker 1: These these these kids, these student athletes have the right

799
00:33:14,976 --> 00:33:16,216
Speaker 1: to develop the right way.

800
00:33:16,336 --> 00:33:18,176
Speaker 2: And so, look, I love my university.

Speaker 1: ten fifteen years ago, and have a building named after me.

803
00:33:24,776 --> 00:33:27,256
Speaker 4: Right, that's more important anyway, that's more important.

804
00:33:28,776 --> 00:33:31,576
Speaker 2: But but I will always support the team, support the program.

811
00:33:46,816 --> 00:33:50,576
Speaker 1: a college athletics should be. It's about character and leadership development.

812

Speaker 1: And I promise you that is at the forefront of

813
00:33:53,016 --> 00:33:54,095

Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys, you're the man, you need to run

836
00:34:45,016 --> 00:34:47,896
Speaker 2: from Mayor here Bro. I mean, you're on it.

837
00:35:04,696 --> 00:35:06,456
Speaker 4: This next one is pretty cool because Warren Moon is

838
00:35:06,536 --> 00:35:09,856
Speaker 4: coming toward our stage now. I mean, Warren Moon is

839
00:35:09,936 --> 00:35:13,256
Speaker 4: like the og gun slanger to me, like when that's

840
00:35:13,336 --> 00:35:15,456
Speaker 4: like when I'm a kid and I'm watching somebody just

841
00:35:15,576 --> 00:35:18,176
Speaker 4: chunk it was Warren Moon. So this one's super exciting.

842
00:35:18,336 --> 00:35:20,976
Speaker 4: As a quarterback. What do you think of when someone

843
00:35:21,136 --> 00:35:22,136
Speaker 4: just says Warren Moon.

844
00:35:22,736 --> 00:35:24,536
Speaker 5: I mean I kind of light up a little bit

845
00:35:24,576 --> 00:35:27,976
Speaker 5: because I remember watching him throughout my youth and just

846
00:35:28,176 --> 00:35:30,896
Speaker 5: the way he played the game and also how the

847
00:35:31,016 --> 00:35:32,616
Speaker 5: ball came out of his hand.

848
00:35:33,256 --> 00:35:34,656
Speaker 2: I mean, he was a competitor.

849
00:35:34,736 --> 00:35:36,776
Speaker 5: But when you go back and you think about his story,

850
00:35:36,816 --> 00:35:39,536
Speaker 5: he grew up in LA close to where I was,

851
00:35:39,856 --> 00:35:42,616
Speaker 5: not really that close, but in LA and so you

852
00:35:42,696 --> 00:35:44,856
Speaker 5: always kind of follow those guys and watch him. And

853
00:35:44,896 --> 00:35:48,056
Speaker 5: he's one of those figures that you know that you

854
00:35:48,576 --> 00:35:52,896
Speaker 5: see the name Warren Moon and immediately he has reverence.

855
00:35:52,976 --> 00:35:53,096
Speaker 7: Right.

856
00:35:53,256 --> 00:35:54,896
Speaker 5: He's one of those guys that you look at and go,

857
00:35:55,296 --> 00:35:57,256
Speaker 5: what a what a stud? And I've known him over

858
00:35:57,296 --> 00:35:59,456
Speaker 5: the years and I've run into him at a bunch

859
00:35:59,496 --> 00:36:03,776
Speaker 5: of different functions. Always been a gracious, humble man, even

860
00:36:03,816 --> 00:36:05,616
Speaker 5: though he's accomplished so much in the league.

861
00:36:05,616 --> 00:36:07,736
Speaker 4: And your functions is alsould be awesome. Everybody's at functions.

862
00:36:07,776 --> 00:36:09,296
Speaker 4: He's like, I know this person had a function. I

863
00:36:09,296 --> 00:36:11,696
Speaker 4: never been to a single function where somebody was you're here.

864
00:36:11,816 --> 00:36:12,776
Speaker 4: I need more functions.

865
00:36:13,976 --> 00:36:17,816
Speaker 3: Here he comes now, Warren Moon. Yeah we got locks,

866
00:36:19,816 --> 00:36:23,656
Speaker 3: mister Moon. Warren, I don't know, Warren Warren, Okay, I'm

867
00:36:23,736 --> 00:36:26,296
Speaker 3: not that old, fair enough.

868
00:36:27,136 --> 00:36:29,656
Speaker 4: What I would like to start with is like, what

869
00:36:29,776 --> 00:36:32,256
Speaker 4: if they protected you like they protect these quarterbacks?

870
00:36:32,376 --> 00:36:33,776
Speaker 7: Now, what if they protected you?

871
00:36:34,856 --> 00:36:35,016
Speaker 5: Yeah?

872
00:36:35,416 --> 00:36:38,616
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but now there's sure you had.

873
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:40,936
Speaker 7: A few guys fall on top of your career.

874
00:36:41,136 --> 00:36:41,256
Speaker 2: You know.

875
00:36:43,536 --> 00:36:45,456
Speaker 7: That doesn't mean I would have played any longer or

876
00:36:45,456 --> 00:36:47,776
Speaker 7: anything like that, but I definitely would have felt better

877
00:36:47,816 --> 00:36:51,176
Speaker 7: on Monday mon. I mean, because some of the hits

878
00:36:51,256 --> 00:36:53,976
Speaker 7: I look back and say, the hell was that out

879
00:36:54,016 --> 00:36:56,216
Speaker 7: there doing? Why was I playing this game? I remember

880
00:36:56,296 --> 00:36:59,056
Speaker 7: the first time I left the game and retired. It

881
00:36:59,176 --> 00:37:01,256
Speaker 7: was six months later the season started and I was

882
00:37:01,336 --> 00:37:04,176
Speaker 7: doing some sideline for Westwood One, and I watched the

883
00:37:04,256 --> 00:37:07,616
Speaker 7: game from the sideline as a regular person now for

884
00:37:07,696 --> 00:37:10,416
Speaker 7: the first time, and I watched the speed and I

885
00:37:10,496 --> 00:37:12,816
Speaker 7: watched the physicalness and I'm like, what the hell was

886
00:37:12,856 --> 00:37:15,456
Speaker 7: I thinking about? For seventeen years playing this game, you

887
00:37:15,536 --> 00:37:17,976
Speaker 7: don't realize how fast it is and how physical it is.

888
00:37:18,496 --> 00:37:22,736
Speaker 7: You get away from it. And I always tell people

889
00:37:22,776 --> 00:37:25,736
Speaker 7: when they think the armchair quarterbacks they could do what

890
00:37:25,856 --> 00:37:27,896
Speaker 7: we do, it'say. Go watch it from the sideline and

891
00:37:27,936 --> 00:37:28,616
Speaker 7: tell me the same thing.

892
00:37:28,736 --> 00:37:30,456
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can feel a hit from the sideline.

893
00:37:30,496 --> 00:37:32,376
Speaker 2: How the time you're going home? My gosh, that was

894
00:37:32,416 --> 00:37:32,936
Speaker 2: a collision.

895
00:37:33,136 --> 00:37:35,056
Speaker 7: Yeah, the speed and the collisions are amazing.

896
00:37:35,416 --> 00:37:38,456
Speaker 5: So obviously you played in the Canadian Football League before

897
00:37:38,456 --> 00:37:41,256
Speaker 5: you made that transition to the NFL. When you look

898
00:37:41,376 --> 00:37:46,136
Speaker 5: back playing Canadian football, was it a wild adjustment coming

899
00:37:46,176 --> 00:37:49,936
Speaker 5: into the NFL because there's obviously significant rules that are

900
00:37:51,056 --> 00:37:51,896
Speaker 5: majorly different.

901
00:37:51,976 --> 00:37:55,016
Speaker 7: Yeah, what it is, the whole total game is different.

902
00:37:55,056 --> 00:37:57,136
Speaker 7: I mean we only have three downs instead of four.

903
00:37:57,696 --> 00:37:58,776
Speaker 2: Wait what Yeah?

904
00:37:58,976 --> 00:38:02,296
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have twelve players instead of eleven. H So

905
00:38:02,416 --> 00:38:04,856
Speaker 7: you're reading an extra defensive back back there. It's almost

906
00:38:04,896 --> 00:38:07,936
Speaker 7: like nickel all the time, even with three linebackers and

907
00:38:07,976 --> 00:38:11,296
Speaker 7: there's still nickel back there. Yeah, it's a different game,

908
00:38:11,376 --> 00:38:14,256
Speaker 7: so you approach it differently because you only have three downs,

909
00:38:14,296 --> 00:38:17,776
Speaker 7: so first down becomes a much more dominant passing down.

910
00:38:17,856 --> 00:38:19,216
Speaker 7: And if you're going to run the ball, you better

911
00:38:19,296 --> 00:38:22,056
Speaker 7: run it for a good six seven yards, so you

912
00:38:22,376 --> 00:38:26,976
Speaker 7: leave yourself and you know the second manager. But I

913
00:38:27,176 --> 00:38:29,376
Speaker 7: love the game up there because it was so wide open.

914
00:38:29,536 --> 00:38:31,736
Speaker 7: And then when I came down here and started running

915
00:38:31,816 --> 00:38:34,336
Speaker 7: like the running shooting that that played right into what

916
00:38:34,416 --> 00:38:36,416
Speaker 7: I had already been doing for all those years. And

917
00:38:36,496 --> 00:38:39,376
Speaker 7: now you see the game of the NFL has become

918
00:38:39,496 --> 00:38:43,296
Speaker 7: this wide open, four wide out, you know, empty backfield,

919
00:38:43,376 --> 00:38:46,416
Speaker 7: five receiver type of offense, and the quarterback receiver has

920
00:38:46,416 --> 00:38:49,096
Speaker 7: become the dominant part of it until the last few

921
00:38:49,176 --> 00:38:51,336
Speaker 7: years where the running back is starting to be inserted

922
00:38:51,336 --> 00:38:52,856
Speaker 7: a little bit more importance into it.

923
00:38:53,296 --> 00:38:55,136
Speaker 4: I want to make an analogy that's maybe the dumbest

924
00:38:55,176 --> 00:38:57,056
Speaker 4: analogy ever. But growing up, I lived in the house

925
00:38:57,136 --> 00:38:58,816
Speaker 4: for a long time. They tore the house down, some

926
00:38:58,936 --> 00:39:01,136
Speaker 4: other people rebuilt the house on the same plot of land,

927
00:39:01,456 --> 00:39:02,136
Speaker 4: but they drove.

928
00:39:01,976 --> 00:39:02,816
Speaker 2: By like you used to live there.

929
00:39:02,816 --> 00:39:04,656
Speaker 3: I'm like, I really lived there. I'll live it like

930
00:39:04,736 --> 00:39:07,136
Speaker 3: I lived in that, But that's not my house.

931
00:39:07,576 --> 00:39:09,536
Speaker 4: That is that what it's like with the Titans, with

932
00:39:09,656 --> 00:39:12,176
Speaker 4: you like it's not really the same house, but I mean,

933
00:39:12,216 --> 00:39:13,216
Speaker 4: you get kind of.

934
00:39:13,816 --> 00:39:16,456
Speaker 7: It's it's a weird existence, not only for myself, but

935
00:39:18,656 --> 00:39:21,016
Speaker 7: for all the guys who only played for the for

936
00:39:21,136 --> 00:39:24,696
Speaker 7: the Oilers. Those guys for so long didn't have a

937
00:39:24,736 --> 00:39:26,936
Speaker 7: team that they could identify with, right They didn't have

938
00:39:27,096 --> 00:39:29,855
Speaker 7: a reunion weekend, they didn't have a newsletter, they didn't

939
00:39:29,856 --> 00:39:31,976
Speaker 7: have any of the things that were able to keep

940
00:39:32,056 --> 00:39:33,976
Speaker 7: up with the teams that we played for. I had

941
00:39:34,056 --> 00:39:38,016
Speaker 7: other teams I played for, so I did have an

942
00:39:38,096 --> 00:39:40,576
Speaker 7: identity with other teams. But I played ten years of

943
00:39:40,616 --> 00:39:43,136
Speaker 7: my career in Houston, and now all of a sudden

944
00:39:43,136 --> 00:39:46,856
Speaker 7: they're gone. My number is retired and on the Ring

945
00:39:46,936 --> 00:39:49,496
Speaker 7: of honor of the Tennessee Titans Stadium, which I never

946
00:39:49,656 --> 00:39:54,176
Speaker 7: played in. So it's almost like your career didn't exist

947
00:39:54,256 --> 00:39:57,336
Speaker 7: in some ways. I remember when the day I was

948
00:39:57,616 --> 00:40:00,936
Speaker 7: having my number retired, I'm addressing the fans there in

949
00:40:00,976 --> 00:40:04,096
Speaker 7: the stadium at halftime. I never played in front of

950
00:40:04,096 --> 00:40:07,696
Speaker 7: you of those people live, so I didn't know. I

951
00:40:08,376 --> 00:40:10,256
Speaker 7: don't know if I'm supposed to thank them or what

952
00:40:10,496 --> 00:40:13,696
Speaker 7: because they never saw me play. But that's just kind

953
00:40:13,736 --> 00:40:15,976
Speaker 7: of where we were, because that's big business in the

954
00:40:16,056 --> 00:40:19,496
Speaker 7: National Football League. When teams move, everything moves, you know,

955
00:40:19,536 --> 00:40:22,776
Speaker 7: the whole identity and the whole history moved with it.

956
00:40:23,536 --> 00:40:23,696
Speaker 7: You know.

957
00:40:23,896 --> 00:40:26,336
Speaker 5: It's always amazing because I used to watch you growing up,

958
00:40:26,456 --> 00:40:28,536
Speaker 5: and you threw the most beautiful ball and it was

959
00:40:28,576 --> 00:40:30,496
Speaker 5: always tight, and I was always jealous of those guys

960
00:40:30,536 --> 00:40:32,976
Speaker 5: that just had it right. Did you have that from

961
00:40:32,976 --> 00:40:35,416
Speaker 5: a young age? Was that something that just you were

962
00:40:35,496 --> 00:40:38,336
Speaker 5: naturally gifted because the ball would just come out and

963
00:40:38,496 --> 00:40:41,136
Speaker 5: your deep ball, I mean the deep ball and the accuracy,

964
00:40:41,216 --> 00:40:42,296
Speaker 5: which is always the hardest.

965
00:40:42,456 --> 00:40:45,816
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a lot of throws that went into that. No,

966
00:40:45,976 --> 00:40:50,976
Speaker 7: it didn't happen overnight or it wasn't natural. I practiced

967
00:40:51,256 --> 00:40:53,736
Speaker 7: so much. I mean I practiced into the night.

968
00:40:54,256 --> 00:40:54,936
Speaker 2: I lived on a.

969
00:40:54,976 --> 00:40:58,376
Speaker 7: Corner in my neighborhood where they had four stops for

970
00:40:58,576 --> 00:41:00,936
Speaker 7: street lights on each you know, on each corner, and

971
00:41:01,056 --> 00:41:02,816
Speaker 7: me and a buddy that lived down the street. I mean,

972
00:41:02,856 --> 00:41:05,496
Speaker 7: I would just throw and throw and throw to my

973
00:41:05,576 --> 00:41:08,376
Speaker 7: mother finally made me come in every night. So a

974
00:41:08,856 --> 00:41:11,176
Speaker 7: lot of time went into it, There's no question about it.

975
00:41:11,256 --> 00:41:13,616
Speaker 7: And because we didn't have quarterback coaches and stuff like

976
00:41:13,696 --> 00:41:16,056
Speaker 7: they have today, I didn't get trained by, you know,

977
00:41:16,456 --> 00:41:19,456
Speaker 7: a true quarterback coach. In high school, I kind of

978
00:41:19,576 --> 00:41:23,336
Speaker 7: taught myself to throw by watching different people and reading books.

979
00:41:23,376 --> 00:41:25,576
Speaker 7: I read a lot of books about pitchers, you know,

980
00:41:25,656 --> 00:41:28,696
Speaker 7: the different pictures that like Nolan Ryan. He was somebody

981
00:41:28,776 --> 00:41:31,136
Speaker 7: that I really looked up to and saw how he

982
00:41:31,256 --> 00:41:33,976
Speaker 7: took care of his body and how he focused on

983
00:41:34,496 --> 00:41:38,016
Speaker 7: his lower half and his core and different things like that.

984
00:41:38,176 --> 00:41:40,296
Speaker 7: And then when I finally got into college, I had

985
00:41:40,296 --> 00:41:42,056
Speaker 7: a college coach that really kind of helped me with

986
00:41:42,096 --> 00:41:43,136
Speaker 7: the fundamentals of it all.

987
00:41:43,576 --> 00:41:46,976
Speaker 3: In your youth, did you play all sports and playing football?

988
00:41:47,016 --> 00:41:48,416
Speaker 3: Did you play multi positions?

989
00:41:49,856 --> 00:41:53,216
Speaker 7: Growing up? I played all sports well, basketball, baseball, football.

990
00:41:53,776 --> 00:41:56,696
Speaker 7: Baseball was probably my best sport, but it was boring

991
00:41:56,776 --> 00:41:59,536
Speaker 7: to me slow. Basketball was my favorite sports to this

992
00:41:59,696 --> 00:42:03,456
Speaker 7: day still is. But no, I didn't pitch. I didn't

993
00:42:03,456 --> 00:42:05,616
Speaker 7: pitch because I didn't want to wreck my arm. But

994
00:42:05,696 --> 00:42:10,376
Speaker 7: I played shortstop in left field, and then in basketball

995
00:42:10,416 --> 00:42:13,056
Speaker 7: it was a point guard. But I just didn't feel

996
00:42:13,096 --> 00:42:15,616
Speaker 7: like I was going to be tall enough to play basketball.

997
00:42:15,776 --> 00:42:18,656
Speaker 7: So football was always something that intrigued me, just because

998
00:42:18,696 --> 00:42:21,776
Speaker 7: of the leadership part of it and being a quarterback,

999
00:42:21,856 --> 00:42:25,056
Speaker 7: being the guy who organizes everything, who makes all the

1000
00:42:25,136 --> 00:42:26,816
Speaker 7: big plays at the end of the ball games. So

1001
00:42:26,976 --> 00:42:29,816
Speaker 7: much is put in your lap as to be a leader,

1002
00:42:29,856 --> 00:42:32,216
Speaker 7: and that was something that I loved about it. I

1003
00:42:32,296 --> 00:42:34,256
Speaker 7: loved to be the guy that had to make the

1004
00:42:34,336 --> 00:42:36,376
Speaker 7: play at the right time. You know.

1005
00:42:36,536 --> 00:42:38,056
Speaker 5: The last time I saw you, I think we're in

1006
00:42:38,176 --> 00:42:41,296
Speaker 5: Nashville at a Legends event, and obviously you're a part

1007
00:42:41,336 --> 00:42:43,696
Speaker 5: of that community. Can you speak about how important that

1008
00:42:43,936 --> 00:42:47,776
Speaker 5: is and your association with the Legends community for the NFL.

1009
00:42:48,016 --> 00:42:51,296
Speaker 7: Yeah, with NFL alumni. That's one of the reasons why

1010
00:42:51,336 --> 00:42:53,536
Speaker 7: I'm here today is because we have this geared up

1011
00:42:53,576 --> 00:42:57,176
Speaker 7: for Cancer campaign, So we're trying to fight cancer and

1012
00:42:57,496 --> 00:43:01,936
Speaker 7: encouraging people to get screenings for cancer, especially for colorectal cancer,

1013
00:43:01,976 --> 00:43:05,536
Speaker 7: which is the leading cause of death of cancer of

1014
00:43:05,616 --> 00:43:07,776
Speaker 7: all the different cancers. And it's a cancer you can

1015
00:43:07,856 --> 00:43:09,616
Speaker 7: be walking around with it not even though you have it,

1016
00:43:09,656 --> 00:43:12,896
Speaker 7: because it's not really highly detectable unless you go get

1017
00:43:12,896 --> 00:43:15,536
Speaker 7: a screening, and sometimes if people wait too long, it's

1018
00:43:15,616 --> 00:43:18,016
Speaker 7: too late. So we're encouraging people to get out and

1019
00:43:18,096 --> 00:43:20,696
Speaker 7: get these screenings because we know how cancers affected so

1020
00:43:20,776 --> 00:43:24,376
Speaker 7: many different people's lives, whether it's the family members, whether

1021
00:43:24,416 --> 00:43:26,696
Speaker 7: it's the friends or whatever. And I just lost my

1022
00:43:26,776 --> 00:43:29,576
Speaker 7: godmom to cancer about three months ago. And I've got

1023
00:43:29,616 --> 00:43:31,856
Speaker 7: a buddy right now with brain cancer, another buddy with

1024
00:43:32,456 --> 00:43:35,296
Speaker 7: colon cancer. So it affects you in a lot of

1025
00:43:35,336 --> 00:43:37,816
Speaker 7: different ways. And we just got to do something to

1026
00:43:37,856 --> 00:43:39,616
Speaker 7: get rid of it. But in the meantime, go out

1027
00:43:39,656 --> 00:43:41,856
Speaker 7: and get screened, so early detection is going to help

1028
00:43:41,896 --> 00:43:43,216
Speaker 7: you where you can at least fight it off.

1029
00:43:43,696 --> 00:43:45,896
Speaker 3: Final question for you, can you give me a story

1030
00:43:45,896 --> 00:43:48,216
Speaker 3: about meeting a hero of yours.

1031
00:43:51,336 --> 00:43:53,336
Speaker 7: God, I got so many, I got a lot of yours.

1032
00:43:57,896 --> 00:44:03,176
Speaker 7: I think one that really that really made me feel

1033
00:44:03,216 --> 00:44:05,216
Speaker 7: good about coming to the National Football League When I

1034
00:44:05,256 --> 00:44:07,176
Speaker 7: was coming out of Canada. I remember going over to

1035
00:44:07,256 --> 00:44:08,896
Speaker 7: the Pro Bowl to meet with a few teams over

1036
00:44:08,936 --> 00:44:11,376
Speaker 7: there when I was going through the free agency process.

1037
00:44:11,816 --> 00:44:13,456
Speaker 7: And then I was out on the beach one day,

1038
00:44:14,296 --> 00:44:15,816
Speaker 7: you know, after some of the meetings, and all the

1039
00:44:15,896 --> 00:44:18,456
Speaker 7: Pro Bowl guys were over there, and I'm standing up

1040
00:44:18,496 --> 00:44:22,256
Speaker 7: against a tree like just admiring all the Pro Bowl

1041
00:44:22,296 --> 00:44:24,176
Speaker 7: guys that were on the beach, And the next ding,

1042
00:44:24,256 --> 00:44:26,976
Speaker 7: I know, somebody comes and kisses me on the back

1043
00:44:27,056 --> 00:44:30,856
Speaker 7: of my neck and tells me, Welcome to the Welcome

1044
00:44:30,896 --> 00:44:33,496
Speaker 7: to the NFL, and I turned around it was Walter Payton.

1045
00:44:36,136 --> 00:44:39,376
Speaker 7: I felt so legitimized at that particular moment to have

1046
00:44:39,456 --> 00:44:41,336
Speaker 7: one of the greatest players that ever play the game,

1047
00:44:41,416 --> 00:44:44,216
Speaker 7: not just any position, but play the game come up

1048
00:44:44,256 --> 00:44:46,456
Speaker 7: and welcome me to the league like that. So that

1049
00:44:46,656 --> 00:44:49,976
Speaker 7: was that was something that really gave me encouragement to Hey,

1050
00:44:50,176 --> 00:44:51,096
Speaker 7: maybe I have along in this.

1051
00:44:51,576 --> 00:44:54,296
Speaker 4: We really appreciate your time. Massive fan of you growing

1052
00:44:54,376 --> 00:44:56,576
Speaker 4: up and thanks for sharing your story with that.

00:44:56,736 --> 00:45:00,736
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for having me. You guys are great. Thank you, Matt.

1054
00:45:02,696 --> 00:45:05,656
Speaker 3: All right, thanks to Teddy Bruski, Kobe Turner, Drew Raise

1055
00:45:05,696 --> 00:45:08,176
Speaker 3: warn Moon. Drew left me this jacket.

1056
00:45:08,536 --> 00:45:09,296
Speaker 2: It's pretty sick.

1057
00:45:09,376 --> 00:45:12,776
Speaker 4: Actually, it's an NFL. It's got patches on it, Crown Royal.

1058
00:45:13,336 --> 00:45:16,256
Speaker 4: And the thing, here's the thing I've known, I'm never

1059
00:45:16,336 --> 00:45:17,936
Speaker 4: going to get a Crown Royal endorsement.

1060
00:45:18,096 --> 00:45:20,616
Speaker 3: I don't, you know. I don't drink. I've never drank,

1061
00:45:20,936 --> 00:45:23,496
Speaker 3: But that's a cool jacket.

1062
00:45:23,736 --> 00:45:25,416
Speaker 4: What we used to do is keep our change because

1063
00:45:25,456 --> 00:45:28,296
Speaker 4: my mom drank a lot, so we had a lot

1064
00:45:28,296 --> 00:45:29,136
Speaker 4: of Crown Royal bags.

1065
00:45:29,136 --> 00:45:31,736
Speaker 3: So we kept like a lot of change bullets.

1066
00:45:31,976 --> 00:45:35,376
Speaker 4: Yeah, left all that was in those bags, and so

1067
00:45:36,136 --> 00:45:37,856
Speaker 4: maybe you can get us a Crown Royal endorsement.

1068
00:45:38,056 --> 00:45:41,376
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, I could, because I have had

1069
00:45:41,416 --> 00:45:44,216
Speaker 5: a few Crown Royals in my day. I've definitely loved

1070
00:45:44,216 --> 00:45:46,416
Speaker 5: the bags. I mean about the bag, like you could.

1071
00:45:46,736 --> 00:45:48,336
Speaker 5: I use it as a golf bag at time where

1072
00:45:48,336 --> 00:45:50,856
Speaker 5: I put my balls. My little purple I have a

1073
00:45:50,896 --> 00:45:51,616
Speaker 5: little purple one.

1074
00:45:53,016 --> 00:45:54,296
Speaker 3: My poster for wearing the jacket.

1075
00:45:54,336 --> 00:45:56,536
Speaker 4: Though, if I don't at all drink Crown Like, I've

1076
00:45:56,576 --> 00:45:58,776
Speaker 4: never had a stem of alcohol, so I don't want

1077
00:45:58,776 --> 00:46:00,736
Speaker 4: to be the that's.

1078
00:46:00,616 --> 00:46:04,856
Speaker 5: Incredible to go with that type of longevity stamina, and

1079
00:46:04,976 --> 00:46:07,816
Speaker 5: also to persevere and not just say, you know what,

1080
00:46:07,936 --> 00:46:09,976
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have one sip and see what it's like.

1081
00:46:10,536 --> 00:46:12,176
Speaker 3: Hm, I would like to have thousand SIPs.

1082
00:46:12,176 --> 00:46:15,736
Speaker 4: If I'm being honest, I am the I'm known as

00:46:44,936 --> 00:46:46,936
Speaker 5: of time in this city. I didn't know where I was,

1095
00:46:47,536 --> 00:46:49,376
Speaker 5: where I should go. But I had a few buddies

1096
00:46:49,416 --> 00:46:51,096
Speaker 5: that called me and said, hey, there's this party. So

1097
00:46:51,576 --> 00:46:54,416
Speaker 5: I wandered down the street, found an Italian restaurant, went

1098
00:46:54,456 --> 00:46:56,376
Speaker 5: in there, had a bite to eat, and then met him.

1099
00:46:56,936 --> 00:46:59,856
Speaker 5: And it was in the French Quarters, which cool, Serriah. Ever,

1100
00:47:00,176 --> 00:47:02,296
Speaker 5: like it's so unassuming on the outside, and you go

1101
00:47:02,376 --> 00:47:04,496
Speaker 5: into these massive homes and you sit there and you go,

1102
00:47:05,576 --> 00:47:08,216
Speaker 5: this was what was inside, like the opulence and the

1103
00:47:08,296 --> 00:47:13,456
Speaker 5: different colors and everything else. So tonight it's another kind

1104
00:47:13,496 --> 00:47:14,536
Speaker 5: of open area for me.

1105
00:47:14,656 --> 00:47:15,896
Speaker 2: I don't really have anything planning.

1106
00:47:15,976 --> 00:47:17,616
Speaker 3: But you have so many friends here though, right right.

1107
00:47:17,696 --> 00:47:19,696
Speaker 3: I think about that. I was like, oh, Matt's not

1108
00:47:19,776 --> 00:47:20,576
Speaker 3: gonn't know anybody.

1109
00:47:20,856 --> 00:47:23,136
Speaker 5: You kind of know everybody, right, I'm gonna put in

1110
00:47:23,176 --> 00:47:25,376
Speaker 5: a few phone calls, do some work, and probably make
