0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>yo for real, like at of all the guys on

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the team, Like he asked me and like my roommates

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>to come out. And I was like, yo, I got

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 2>to run the best routes of my life. If I

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 2>cannot drop a ball, like it's got to be as

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 2>good or got it's got to be the best route

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>run I've ever had in my life. And the first

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>day and like you've thrown with him, like you see

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>when like you're coming out of breaks and like the

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>ball's in the perfect spot every time, and be like yo,

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>if I keep my feet and like as long as

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I can see the ball spin for a second, I'm

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like this is I'm like he is not missing.

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Like no, whether it's.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Upfield, we're running an out route, puts on your front shoulder.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 3>You can turn, tap and turn to get out the side.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 2>And you're running out of a crow break, it's on

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>your inside paths so you can drop step and turn

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>over your inside shoulder.

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 3>And that was like, holy colch.

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you basically telling me that you guys had instant chemistry?

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, low key felt I felt like first Yeah,

0:01:59.240 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 4>I was.

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Like, honestly, I'm I'm not gonna I'm not even gonna

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>second guess that because I went with him once to

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Golden West. Yeah, we threw together. I think we threw

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>forty five balls. I think we went forty five for

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 1>forty five We never even met each other. That's how

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>elite his arm talent is. He like like Puka was saying,

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball come right out there, right out. That break

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>is right on your forehead, literally right up on your forehead,

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and he just over here slings it.

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, he got the little half white arm sleeper. Yeah,

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 3>wo dot him up.

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you think makes him so special? Is it

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the armstring? What? What do you see from his day

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to day that makes him special?

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think his attention to detail like man

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>like he just like I mean, I think of him

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>and less neither like some man he does. He's not

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the guy who's going to go that have the most conversation.

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>He's going to talk to everybody. But man, like you see,

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>he's got the big old like year calendar like notebook

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 2>where he's like he's got he's got an old.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Pen and paper.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 2>It's like the yellow pages still like you know, where

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 2>it's not like the little brown spot at the top

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and you fold it over. So it's like that he's

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 2>got it and he's taking notes. He's got it all.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>That's how we used to do it in the NFL. Yeah, yeah,

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I know you're so used to iPads and fucking devices

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. You probably didn't ever read a book. You

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>used to get a big ass binder with all the plays.

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>No, yeah, hell no. They definitely don't do that anymore.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Three incher, it'd be a three inch save some trees. Man,

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not using the iPad.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I guess we are. I guess we are.

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think his toughness, I think is the

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 2>one thing that's like, man, you have to cut up

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 2>both arm and legs off for that guy to leave

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>the football for thousand and I think as that quarterback position,

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 2>you don't always get that. And I think that separates

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>him from almost every other guy out there now.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>When the guys in the locker room see and know

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>about Matthew Stafford's toughness. Does it bring does it have

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.119
<v Speaker 1>like an energy in the room where if a guy

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>gets kind of banged up, they're like, oh, well, our

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking star quarter just played with broken ribs or whatever.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He's he's always playing banged up. Yeah, I gotta play.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Is there that energy with Matthew Stafford in that locker room?

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's definitely led into the identity of our

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>team and stuff like that. How guys operate and be like, Yo,

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 2>this is the most prized possession we have is our quarterback.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>You know how the locker room is like how the

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 2>football like the whole football team operates through this guy.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>And he yeah, he will never take himself out of

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the game. And so it's like if unless you're unless

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 2>your ankle is facing the opposite way, or there are

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>ligaments that are completely torn there, you can't run anymore.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>You got to get back out there.

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I just remember that one video of him like going

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and doing the two point conversion when he like he

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>fucked up his other shoulder when he's back in the

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Detroit early in his career, because we were drafting the

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>same year. I think two thousand and nine.

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Really, and man, he's been playing.

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I remember because I've I've gotten crunched where a guy

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 1>falls on you and you crunch your shoulder and you

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>knock it out of place. Yeah, and the pain is

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember him going, oh, and I'm motherfucker sacked up

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>through that two point conversion with a broken show. I

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, I'm a Matthew Stafford guy ever since then.

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Then he got with you guys. It's been fun to

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 1>watch his story now. Poka talks about learning from Cooper Cup.

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>You talk so much about your relationship with Cooper Cup,

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and I've heard you say he's been a huge help

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and he took that role of helping you. Like, can

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you talk about your relationship with Cooper Cup and what

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>he's meant and what you guys have learned, and how

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be, how you're gonna feel when he leaves. Yeah,

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>when he's gone.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he is gone now, except I'm gonna see him

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 2>two times a year, so that'll be exciting. I told him,

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, man, well, I'm like, if you're I'm gonna

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>make sure somebody's gone for one fifty. I'm like, we're

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 2>pushing each other, I'm gonna be out there. I never

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>really talks back, and I know Cooper Cup, out of

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 2>all people, doesn't talk smack either, So I'm like, that

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 2>might be the only day I come out there.

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I'd be like, I know that guy. I'm like,

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 3>we spend the.

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Off season together, and it's it's been it's been a

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>true blessing to be around him the first two years

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>of my career and absolutely be everywhere with him in

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the facility, get to learn from him, spend the off

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 2>season together, work out, learn what it's like to be

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a professional athlete and a wide receiver who's doing at

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>the top of his game right now, and it's been

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the league, who's won a Super Bowl,

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>MVP like and just to watch it and I feel

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>like I was stealing, Like I didn't like now that

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 2>he's like realizing that it's gone and being like, oh cow,

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Like I was right next to this guy. I was

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>in the breakfast club with Matthew Stafford, Cooper Cup and

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.360

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>what it felt like when I got called out before

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 2>him and then they called Cooper Cup number ten.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.240

<v Speaker 2>camp rookie year, and like he came back and it

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 2>was like everybody you could feel like the leadership and

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>then also like the football player of being like he controls,

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>he knows what's going on.

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 3>It made it made it so fun.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's a pro. I remember when he was a

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>young buck. We used to work out together at Golden.

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 3>West, the hot Spot.

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember he was coming off an injury. Threw with

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Matthew a couple of times. Oh man, he can light

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it up. What do you gotta do to get in

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this goddamn breakfast club? I mean the cool name you

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>got McVeigh, you got with, you got Stafford Cup. That's

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it exclusivity. Soho home membership, How do you get in

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>this thing?

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully?

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, they didn't ask me for any membership for you,

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 2>but shoot, you got to get up there earlier.

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Like That's one of the things I was like that helped.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I was watching Coop and I changed my routine of like, man,

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 2>during season, I'm normally in bed at least by nine thirty, like,

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 2>if not, like going to bed by nine thirty, so

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I could wake up and be up at five thirty

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>five forty five, so I could get to the facility

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>at six o'clock and they've already and I would be

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>almost the last one there. They've already been there, like

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>they're watching and they've probably gone through the last practice,

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>and now we're about to start watching the explosive from

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>all the other teams across the league. And I'm like,

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>so I come in for the back half and then

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 2>we rerun the tape. Me and Coop will be all right,

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>now we're going to watch the receivers at the end

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>while either Matthew's going to grab coffee, they're grabbing breakfast,

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>and then like, can we kind of sit there, yeah,

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 2>watch all the tape and it'll be like, all right,

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I keep them updated on like the newest slang terms

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>because I'm like those two guys, I'm like, yeah, one,

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Coop probably never actually have gone on social media.

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 3>And then Matthew.

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he even knows he has an Instagram.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Damn on April Fools yesterday that he's all tatted it up.

0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you see that Stafford has a full sleeve? That

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 3>was the news yesterday.

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I ever seen him. That's a boot. That's such a

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 1>dad joke right there, he is. Matt's cool freaking Uh.

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>You know I when I hear you talk about it,

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I was in the same similar situation, you know. I

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>we had Wes Welker when I got drafted, and uh,

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>it's so good for a young player to get to

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>learn from a guy who's a buck. Like you got

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.199
<v Speaker 1>to learn the routine of Cooper Cup. I got to

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>learn the routine of West Walker. I got to learn

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the practice habits of Wes Woker Randy Moss. Like, when

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.599
<v Speaker 1>you're around certain players, that's so good for the development

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>of a young football player if that young football player

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>wants to learn and is in that back pocket. I

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>was in West's back pocket all the time. He didn't

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.559
<v Speaker 1>always want to help me, but I was anytime he

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>could go, I go right behind him because I knew

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>he was the best at doing it, and I wanted

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to do what he did.

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean, You're like, yeah, when you're

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 2>there there, you're running indie drills, and like everybody's getting

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>ready to line up, and I'm like, yo, I'm gonna

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 2>make my way to the front, right behind Coop. Yeah,

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make my way to the front to be

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 2>number two, just so I can watch him. Go watch

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 2>his whole rep. Watch how you like doing everything, whether

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 2>it's routes on air, it was the cone drills, or

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 2>he were going up in one on ones, like like yeah,

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 2>And then when I got to go run the reps

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>with him, I'm like, all right, Coop, like hey, we

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 2>got this, or like we're lined up two by two

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to we're in a stack and it's

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>me and Coop would be like, all right, what are

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>you about to do right here? I'm like, and he'd

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.839
<v Speaker 2>be like, all right, I think I'm about to get

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 2>inside leverage and then I'm gonna work in. I'm gonna

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.599
<v Speaker 2>cross face, and then I'm a one two at the

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 2>top and be like all right, and we're like we're

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>as we're going out, like we're still kind of talking

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 2>and be like oh, and then you watch him say

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>exactly do exactly what he said was gonna happen to

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 2>be like, holy cow, Like this is how football should

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>feel like. Man, there's a different type of feeling when

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.439
<v Speaker 2>you get to go and watch somebody because they're giving

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>all these cues that man, you're like, oh, I just

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>have my I have my.

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Corner route right here. I'm gonna go.

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna find a way. And he's like, all right, No,

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna look like this. He's gonna roll down, he's

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna play outside leverage. I'm gonna get to his inside shoulder.

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm a one two at the top and i'ma win.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 2>And then he would go one to him at the

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>top and he would win and be like damn cool.

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Reps time on task, Cooper Cup has a lot of them,

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're building a lot of them right now. Next

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>pokon having to pay to change his number. Davante Adams,

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a big addition. I think he's gonna be a

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>huge help for you guys, being able to be a

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>guy that could win on the backside outside the numbers consistently,

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.959
<v Speaker 1>something you guys kind of lack last year, like or

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>red area target. You guys would do all that, Hey,

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you get in the red area and Higgsby

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.959
<v Speaker 1>was a little banged up. So having Davante there, that's

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be huge. What what are you gonna have?

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 2>You guys talked a little bit when he came out

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>of sign his contract. I think he's still been out

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>in Vegas, but I wanted one first. I want to

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 2>get him on the basketball court too, because I'm like,

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I always see that you have as

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 2>a wide receiver. I feel like that you see it,

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.439
<v Speaker 2>like how they kind of moved through that on the

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>basketball court. But I know he's a big basketball fan too,

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, we'll get up what I'm for sure

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna show up to OTAs. We're gonna get a

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.199
<v Speaker 2>lot of routes and we're gonna talk about it. Once

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I can see you on the basketball court. I think

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I can understand how you think about football team, like

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you got that similar movement pattern is going to come out.

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, so, what what did would you do?

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>For seventeen, Like.

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>What did he that's a man? So it was so fun.

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I would the number? Did you give you a couple?

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 3>I wish?

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Said he got it for the free skik.

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Did you play pig? Were you gonna play pick?

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 3>No, he definitely didn't beat me a pig. No chance,

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 3>So that that didn't happen.

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>But I was already planning to switch to twelve, so

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, you gotta fire file the paperwork and stuff

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 3>They got to buy out your jerseys and stuff like that,

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 3>and like I was still a fifth round pick.

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like they asked like how, They're like, uh, it's

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 2>will be five hundred thousand to switch your jersey. I'm like, uh,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you forgot when I got drafted, I was like,

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't got that type of money.

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 4>I was like for a jersey number, doll, that's time.

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm like no, so you fail out. The paperwork had

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 3>to wait a whole year.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 2>So this year was like I was getting ready to

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>like the springtime, once that official season March or whatever

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 2>it is they switch over, I was gonna be going

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 2>to number twelve. And it's like we signed Davante Adams

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's like, Yo, what are you about to do?

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, man, if.

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I would have waited, I would have waited like three

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 1>war weeks, like I would have came up five hundred.

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 4>I know That's what I'm saying.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Mill, you go five hundred, there, you get a couple here,

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and then then we got a fun trip in the

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>off season.

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I know that's all I could took the guys out,

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 2>But now Davante's got to do.

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm make sure, Hold, I think you need a couple

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>more Jewish people in your life. Okay, I'm just letting

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, Bud, you can't be talking about age and

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't be getting impatient with number changes.

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 3>A couple Bill, Yeah, exactly.

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.079

<v Speaker 2>to chop it up for a little bit. There's kind

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 2>of media around. He's like, man, you like you know,

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:32.560

<v Speaker 2>And I was like, bro, like every ounce and every

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 2>cell in my body was just screaming because like I'm

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm born in two thousand and one. I've been watching

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James my entire life, ever since I remember watching basketball.

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>He's been there. Now I'm living in LA and he's like, yo,

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 2>like I'm rocking with you. I was, it was unreal.

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>That's unreal. I got a quick question, though, what's how

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you shoot? Is Luca ware?

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I think he's like a fourteen or fifteen because yeah,

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 2>because when I I I'm aside thirteen and a half,

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I wear some fourteens. He was like, yo, like, you

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 2>got good sized feet too, And I was like, I'm

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 2>not six six, but I'm like.

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I do, got a big foot.

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So you gave him cleats?

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 3>No? No, no, no, he said, what if.

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Luca put on the cleats? He's like on the hardwood?

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, Lebron James getting me. I've never met him.

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I've done a bunch of stuff with his production company, Maverick. Yeah,

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and I've met mav a few times. He's been real cool.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 3>He's bigger than you think too, right.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they're all dude, I.

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Mean other than Rich Rich Paul is the only like

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of small one. But Maverick card, I'm like.

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I have's big. Yeah, that looks like a basketball player.

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, with Lebron now that he's kind of

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>an underdog because of his age, I've jumped on his

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>wagon even harder because I went to college at Kent State,

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and the year he got drafted, I was in Northeast, Ohio,

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>right down the street from where he grew up an Akron.

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember going to Chapel Hill mom buying his first

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 1>his first shoe, thinking it was so cool being in

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Ohio with you know, Lebron at the university. And I mean,

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it's been so remarkable to see the longevity of this guy.

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Like he's forty years old and he's punkin dudes. Still,

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it's unreal. It's it's really a testament to how how

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>hard he takes his craft, his dedication to his body,

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's never been in trouble. It's fucking nuts. Yeah,

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Like he's he's the epitome of what a professional athlete

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.719
<v Speaker 1>should want to be in his life. Regardless of what

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you think of Lebron James, he is a fucking he's

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>our generation's Jordan.

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, set the standard for sure.

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.919
<v Speaker 2>It's been unreal. I can't imagine being inaccurate at that time. Like,

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>while like, yeah, it's the prime hype, everybody waiting to

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>see what Lebron James was going to look like in

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 2>the NBA and you're right there in the heat of it.

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>In the heat it was so crazy. They used to

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 1>have this big mural of like Josh Cribs on the

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>side of the like it was like a Nike ad

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.360
<v Speaker 1>on the side of the buildings in Cleveland, and as

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>soon as uh oh know, it was Lebron. And then

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>when Lebron left, they put Josh Cribs up there. But

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Lebron owned that city man in that area. It was

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>so cool to be a part of What do you

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>like about Lebron?

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that like the mental toughness of being

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 2>like man ever since I've walked in, even before I

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.919
<v Speaker 2>was the number one pick in the NBA draft, of

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 2>like everybody was looking at me to be to be

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the one to lead the way, to be the great one,

0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 2>and like he's only surpassed everybody's expectations. Everybody's like, are

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 2>you gonna be Michael Jordan? Are you gonna be Magna Johnson?

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 2>And he just went out and became Lebron James to

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody who now we know is the fifty thousand leading

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 2>the NBA and as a basketball fan, I'm like, I

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 2>just I just love watching the game. There's something that

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the fluidness and like the elusiveness that is in the

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 2>game of basketball that you don't get in football in

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the exact same way that I'm like, I could watch.

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 3>Basketball all day, every day. Like there's there's something about it.

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 3>This is so soothing to the brain.

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Now, Phoka talks about growing up in Vegas. Now, how

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>was it growing up in Vegas?

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 2>There's there's nothing like it's the best place in the world.

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 3>For sure. I believe that it was hot. It was hot.

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that that's where definitely.

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 1>So this is easy for you. Then when it's one

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>ten over.

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 3>There, it's way different over there.

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but like that's why I'm like, man, the tar,

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the tar outside all of the streets, like when we

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 2>used to be running outside or hot, like hot like

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.119
<v Speaker 2>burn your socks right off, like and but it was

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 2>it was so fun.

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 3>I loved it out there.

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.879
<v Speaker 2>And that's where I mean I first started playing football

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 2>as where my memories are at, and then everything kind

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 2>of took off from there.

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Who were your sports teams growing up? If you're in

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>from Vegas.

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I was a Packers fan and Hackers.

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Who's Aaron Rodgers?

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Jesus all right.

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 2>So my family, uh, my mom's full saw more and

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.360
<v Speaker 2>my dad like grew up in Hawaii, so like one

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 2>of the Polynesian team, the Steelers, everybody steers. Yeah, Troy

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 2>palm All everybody loves him. So I was like, okay,

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 2>they were fans. I was like, being the youngest, we

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't have any team. I was like, I kind of

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 2>want to choose against everybody. So I remember in two

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and ten when they played the Packers and they won,

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'll be like, man, I'm glad I chose the

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>right team. And then and the Steelers won it the

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>year after, and then like so and then most of

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>my family they grew up like your fans, because both

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 2>my parents are from California. And then I had gone

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to a Thunder game with little Dana. We had gone

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 2>to a football camp out there in Oklahoma, and then

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 2>we went to a Thunder game and.

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Yo, that was unreal.

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody in the stadium sat down for

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>forty eight minutes straight like wide out. People are rocking.

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 2>They beat the Spurs in a playoff game. They got

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the Young Thunder. I was like, yo, this is my

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.159
<v Speaker 2>new favorite team. That was Harden and Durant hard like

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Sergei Baka, like they had home. It was a crazy

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 2>and like this is two thousand and thirteen Spurs. So

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 2>like they like Tony Parker or Tim Duncan, those guys

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 2>aren't that old, Like I mean they getting ready to

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 2>win a championship like in a year and a half

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 2>two years later and it was wild geez.

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>So like are all the people now that grow up

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas, are they all like adopting the new Vegas teams?

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I think so one hundred percent, especially like the I

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>think the Raiders has been a little bit different because

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean I feel like a lot of people out here,

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 2>like in the southern California, they're still they got it.

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 1>They have a I think they have a Southwest like

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>region that follows them because of Oakland, LA. And then

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>there's Raiders fans everywhere.

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that is true one hundred percent, But I know

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.439
<v Speaker 2>like they'd love Everybody loves the Knights out there, especially

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.199
<v Speaker 2>like you come in your first season and you win it,

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I feel like that's you're gonna write it any

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.440
<v Speaker 2>better for that and that they've been rocking with the

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 2>hockey team over.

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 3>There for sure.

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.600
