I'm 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.200 Steve Smith Senior and I'm John and this is cut 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.600 to it. Good do it, Good do it. Let's getting 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.919 down to do it. Good do it. We asked the 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.880 questions you always want to know, but no one ever asked, 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:29.560 let's cut to it. You ain't heard them about it? 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:38.800 Then we're about to let you know. It's all you 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.280 get to go. I'm good to go. All right, cool, cool, 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.400 Let's cut right to it. Man, how you doing? Not 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.360 too bad? How are you? Man? I'm doing great. No complaints. Man. Hey, 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.280 so school me on this. This cameo app you got, 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.720 I know it's it's this app right where people can 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.840 make requests for you to do, like these personalized social messages, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.000 social video messages. How's the work? We're after a long 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.640 period of time, about a year of cameo trying to 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.959 get me to do it. I didn't want to do it. Yeah, 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.600 they were recruiting you, you pretty, and I was declining them. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.319 They reached out a few times. So basically, somebody can 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.240 come on the cameo and the request for me to 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:22.760 do something. All kinds of athletes, entertainers, every reality stars. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:29.720 There's a I think Steve Harvey like four hundred the message. Okay, 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.960 it's gotta be some guys hot in that too. Oh 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:38.880 it's the way my mind works. I'm not really sure 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:44.199 how to do it, but one I just I don't 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.199 know if I want to say, I don't have the time, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.720 but I want of those guys like I'm I'm either 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.960 hot and I'll do it well I'm cold, and I'm 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.000 like I'm okay, so yeah, and bro, some of this 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.560 stuff that's in there, like okay, what kind of stuff 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.640 do you like? Just just entertaining our listeners for what 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.480 may seem normal for you, but some of us probably 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.359 listen like what that really gets? People ask you with 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.400 these certain things like so I have someone and say, hey, 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.840 requestion the Mother's Day message for my mom, Like of 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.120 course that's cool, right, And most of the time when 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.359 I get someone that sent me something after I record 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.760 always tell them, hey, thank you appreciate if you're allowing 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.040 me to be a part be part of your you 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.920 know whoever that individual special day, because I don't really 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.000 see myself like that. But then there are some people 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:40.800 like they right, like autobiography like a dissertation. Almost, yeah, dissertation, 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.280 Like you want me to wish somebody happy birthday and 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.160 then you're telling me what seat number they're in as 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.040 they're watching the game. As they're watching the game, and 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.760 then they get pissed at me. But I don't like 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.600 repeat all that. It was like one guy, he wrote 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.520 so much stuff. I literally text on the on the app, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.519 I said, what do you exactly want me to do? 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:10.720 Because it was so much He gave you a smort 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:16.560 board of options. Oh man, I mean it's like, hey, 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.440 he's turning thirty, he's turning the age, and may please 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.320 wish him a happy birthday from me. He's a huge 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.919 Panther fan since since their first year on the team. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.200 Big fan of Smithy would be he's amazing father and husband, cool, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:36.200 no problem. And there are some people give me the 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.360 ones that are I got to go back and a 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.080 challenging to you, man, let me go down, let me 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.120 go down yonder. There's somewhere I just gotta block. I 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.080 just can't. I can't do it like I just like, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.640 I just can't give me a give me crazy one. Well, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:57.040 what's funny is every so after you get the um 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.960 wrong black guy like they somebody they give me confused 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:06.960 with somebody else?

But we don't know what 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.719 YouTube channel is about. That dude can be creep. I 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.920 don't know. Oh I'm not doing that. No tell him 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.480 what he reviewing? No teller, no telling.

I'm trying to win a spot 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:53.600 using cameos as recommendations. Little humor mixed with your reputation 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.240 as a player and analysts will really help. This is 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.520 something you could do via cameo. He gave you the 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.640 full creative pri I say you want the truth of 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:07.919 the lie it could be made up. Then saying you 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.359 can win it. When you trold d J. Moore about 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.719 your fantasy line up to kid made me think you're 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.760 good for this. I could put together a loose script 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.280 or something he's got the old graded. Whatever you think 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.760 you can do to build me up, make it sound 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.760 like you know me. I can I get some talking 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:30.200 points loose script. Here's what I said. Sorry, I'll passed, Thanks, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:36.880 not interested, go up? But no. And I guess maybe 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.440 because you can pay people that. That's what I was 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.120 just about to say. Like, it's it's crazy how you 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.960 can now have this connection to to anyone, athletes, entertainer, celebrities, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.360 whatever the case may be. But ten years ago, twenty 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.040 years ago, thir you didn't have this much access. Now 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.920 you sign up for an app, you can put in 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.960 request and whether you fulfill it or not, they can 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.800 send you a message that you can now have access 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.279 to someone now again you can. You can decide whether 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:05.839 or not you're gonna do it. Oh, here go, here go, 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.680 Here goes one. Old college friends Fantasy League roast the 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.200 out of someone but Joe, but Joe Joe one this 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.880 year three times champ Avery never won it all, says 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:25.040 he's cursed, just sucks, had bad trades. Jeremy went one 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.600 and twelve, Thomas always one and done in the playoffs. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.320 I hit him with decline and people will pay for 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.680 It's all about Hey, do this for me, you know, 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.000 let me show transactional man. So we talk about the 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.280 transactional relationship that people have with athletes entertainers. Sometimes it's 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:47.960 even frustrated from me and I'm not even in your 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.400 Here's the funniest thing. I wish someone a happy birthday 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.719 who knew someone else, who knew someone else. And then 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.280 a buddy that I actually knew so came back around 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.440 to you, came back and was like look, and I 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.119 just laughed and me and him said, Wow, the things 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.719 people will pay for just to say, look what Steve 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.520 did for me. There is some that I really enjoyed, 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.440 Like somebody's coming out of surgery, somebody who's breast cancer, 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.400 someone who's really hit hard times, who's depressed. You're really 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.880 providing some hope for correct. So I had a lady, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.760 she got upset at me, send me a nasty little 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:31.320 since your nasty graham. Nasty graham. Her husband's birthday was 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.400 coming up, and she wanted me to wish I'm gonna 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.800 have a birthday. Now. When you sign up, they they 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.360 allowed you so many days to do it. So when 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.240 she signs up, to complete the request, complete the request, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.880 I had six days. Now, it's not my fault. You 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.480 signed me up four days before his birthday. That that 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.840 is that my fault, same same day every year, right, 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.679 I don't know. Maybe he has a leap her birthday. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:07.040 I'm not sure, but she was mad. She declined it 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:14.000 and said false advertisement. You didn't answer it in Craigslist. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.840 Here's the problem. I have six days to complete it, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:25.560 or I have six days too ignore decline to do it. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.520 I still have a choice. You have offered me a 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.120 message to you, and I have six days to complete it. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.760 Don't be matter me. If I completed on day five, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.840 I still technically got ahold twenty four hours. Then you 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.600 should have picked me sooner. Now I have four dred 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:56.520 eleven completed cameos. I have ninety eight percent completion. Sometimes 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:05.120 I knocked him out. Other times, yeah, I'm one. Just 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:10.120 get to him when I get Hey. Sometimes you gotta 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.560 tell us if you want me be here at noon. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:20.000 Sometimes you gotta left right. Hey, who we got coming 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.680 up on the Cut to It podcast? We've got Mike Golic, 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.040 former NFL player. He was also known for being a 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.200 host from Mike and Mike. A former NFL analyst and 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.480 all around great guy Mike Golic on the Cut to 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:46.000 It podcast. Oh man, my pleasure. I'm looking forward to this. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.959 I've been I have no outlet anymore to talk anymore. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:53.560 So I love taking opportunities. All right, well we're gonna 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.360 get started on this opportunity. Our first segment is called 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.960 get Iced Up. But give him the first of our 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.760 get iced up questions. All right, if you can change 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.520 your name to anything or to something, what would you 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:14.400 change it to? I think Biff if it wasn't that 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.440 all back to the future, Yes, it was and and 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.000 and Biff wasn't wasn't a great character. But I just 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.800 it would be a one syllable he was, he was. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.240 I would like to change that and be a better 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.640 Biff than the Biff from back then. A great recall, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:35.680 by the way, Um, yeah, it was, it was. It 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.400 would be exactly. It would be a it would be 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.800 a quick name like that, like I named my daughter. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.000 We call quick names like it's Sydney, but we call 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.559 her Shid, Jake, Mike, those are my kids. We like quick, 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.160 one name or one syllable. Uh So I just figured 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.080 out to go off a little bit and do Biff 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.600 and and go down that road. Would you do so 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.160 many things BI like the oh a neck, and and 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.040 and and make yourself really rich? Or would you use 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.120 it for good? You know this isn't a Bailock question. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.360 But couldn't I do both? I couldn't. I would have 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.440 been on the World Series game. I would have definitely 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.360 made a ton of money. But then I would have 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.280 used some of that money for good so that I 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:23.160 could morally justify why I was cheating the system. I'm okay, right, 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.440 I'm doing good with it. So it's like, okay, it 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.359 doesn't matter how you got it. You didn't hurt anybody. 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.520 You made a lot of money, and then I'll spend 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.600 a lot of it on the good and also, you 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.040 know then fly private everywhere as well. All right, um, 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.559 so what will be your name? What? Oh? Is your name? Bishop? 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.640 I don't know why. I love Bishop just like Bishop 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.079 from Juice. No, just Bishop, not from Juice. This Bishop. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.480 I love the name Bishop. Wow. Okay, that's a pretty 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.280 that's out of the box one. I think that's ubermanly, right. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:59.720 I think it's like just like like he held Smith, 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.160 bishops Bishops Smith put it up bishops coming Now, would 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.240 you wouldn't want anything you would want anybody to to 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.920 shorten it to bish you want to do when you 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:15.680 want to bishop, like you know, that would be to 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:26.400 be like you're holding up the line. My serchs have 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.080 my money. That's tomorrow. That's what my church says. My 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:34.719 church says, beach better have my money. Yeah.

So this is an interesting conversation. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.720 You know we have prior to this. So I think 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:09.800 this is excellent. Beach or mountains? Which one do you prefer? Wow? 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.320 You know what I have been. I enjoy hiking in 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.360 all honesty, so I I may go mountains, and I'm 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.400 I'm more of a pool guy than a beach guy, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.439 you know, so I would probably out of that go mountains. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:30.440 Why are you a pool guy then beach guy? One 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.120 of the reasons is um and and let me this 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.199 is kind of a public service announcement as well. Most 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.920 places where there's a beach, you want to get wet. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.920 And go on the water sharks lot in the water, 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:46.760 and you know, then you get wet and you get 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.720 sand on you a little bit. I'm not well into that. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.080 That's a I'll go hang out by the pool, put 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.160 my phone on, you know, just kind of chill there, 0:13:54.240 --> 0:14:01.839 he said. And someone would say this, what's your pier 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:08.000 to short back out? Yeah, no, I would go I 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.400 would go mountain. I would go mountain, whether the biking 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.520 in the mountain or hiking in the mountains. All right, 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.360 So we're here in North Carolina. So can you do 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.240 you believe have you ever been to like Kiowa or 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.480 Myrtle Beach. Yes, I've been to boat. Do you consider 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:34.360 Myrtle Beach a beach? No? No, I have just not 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.400 been a Myrtle Myrtle Beach guy and not not really. Yeah. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.440 I go there in golf like Darius Rucker would have 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.560 his Monday after the Master's tournament out there in Myrtle Beach, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.240 and so I go out there to golf. I never 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.360 really never really hit hit the beaches. No, I've golf 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.120 the Kia as well. That's very nice, but uh yeah, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.360 just just not really a beach guy. All right, So 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.920 what did you have for breakfast this morning. Um so 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.840 I got up first and I had oat mail with 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.800 almonds in it and with some little grin ola in it. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:04.760 And then me and my wife work out. We work 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.000 out at Orange Theory Fitness. And then after that, let 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:09.680 me tell you what, and I made something for her. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:15.560 I make killer avocado toast, what kind of what kind 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.520 of bread? So ill we'll do like wheat bread. But 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.000 then what I'll do is I'll get turkey sausage and 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.960 I'll cook up the turkey sausage and on the bread, 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.920 I'll put the blockamoli on the bread. I'll put the 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.880 turkey sausage over the bread, and then I'll do an 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.280 eggs over easy and lay it right on top of 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.400 the turkey sausage on the bread. On the avocado. He's 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.520 pretty good. Oh yeah. I love to cook, big, big 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.240 fan of cooking. So so that was our post workout meal, 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.480 got our protein in. And if I didn't make that, 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.280 then we would have had I would have had a 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:53.480 done or something. You go from an avocado toast hitty green. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:16:00.880 Oh yeah, listen, I'm versatile. All I tell something that 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.800 you're grateful for today. You know a lot of people 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.640 may not not think it because they ended up, you know, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.080 not renewing me. But but I am grateful for my 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:13.800 time at ESPN because I we're we're a real big, 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:20.400 tight family, and it allowed me for something I enjoy doing. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.200 It allowed me to bring my family along, you know. 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.960 And like when I started doing the show, my Mike 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.720 was ten, Jake was nine, and Sydney was five. And 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.440 when I ended my time there, Mike was thirty one, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.040 Jake was thirty, and Sydney was twenty six. So it 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.800 was a long time. So it was fun having them 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.760 grow up kind of on air. Both my boys signed 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.520 their letters have intend to Notre Dame on air. My 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.840 daughter signed her let ever attend to Notre Dame to 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.760 swim there. Um, So we've had them all on a lot, 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.320 and now my son listened. Mike tried to make it up. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.200 They both played an or name. Mike was in a 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.880 couple of camps at the NFL. Unfortunately, as Steve you know, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.520 it doesn't work for everybody. He gave it a shot 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.840 and for a couple of years and it didn't go. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.960 So he's in the business now and doing extremely well. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.960 I'm listening to him. He when you guys were you 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.440 guys were on and having him. I was like, man, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.879 you know, Mike Julior is doing an excellent job. He's 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.920 progressed and the confidence as well. And I saw him 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:26.640 with one tattoo full sleeve. I'm like a test. Yeah, 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.640 he was always it was like it was like, okay, 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.320 my hair is getting lost, let me get a tattoo. Here, 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.600 he's getting back further and further, let me get the sleeve. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.240 Now he's fully ball hitted and sleeves. But man, yeah, 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.520 he's doing a great job. He said he was going 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.320 to get the other sleeve if he played any amount 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.160 of time in the league. It felt better about getting 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.560 the other sleep he just has the one, And it 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.040 was I know, who knows? Who knows? You know, when 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.800 he was doing the show with me or with others, 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.560 he wasn't like, you know, the main person. He was 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.080 one of like two or three. Now he does the 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.679 show with Tene Boo McKay, who plays for the l 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.080 A Sparks and and she was the number one pick. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.439 She went to Stanford. Well she's doing the show with 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.320 Mike and the more in the afternoon, and you know, now, 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.160 so they're both front and center, you know, these young 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.960 thirty year old you know, doing their thing. It's it's cool. 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.359 But but over going back to what I was saying, overall, 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.320 it was just nice to bring my family along on 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.480 this ride. It wasn't. I went to work and I 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.399 came home, and you know, the two didn't mix. The 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.679 two didn't mix pretty well, and it was it was 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.080 cool because it lasted so long and was able to 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.480 see them all grow up through it. So that was 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.800 that was fun. Favorite sports teams growing up or favorite 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.680 sports team when you're growing up. Interestingly enough, I grew 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.960 up in Cleveland, so I was kind of a Browns fan. 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.320 I was a big Leroy Kelly fan, and amazingly enough 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.359 and all the young people out there Google and they 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.320 running back with the Cleveland Browns years ago, and I 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.360 got to meet him at a Super Bowl maybe ten 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.480 years ago, and it was very cool. But interesting enough, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.080 growing up in Cleveland, I was a open Raidar fan. 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:08.560 Kenny stabler otis sis drunk, I mean, all those crazy bastards, 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.199 you know, I mean just just I just love the 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.159 way they play. And I was like, man, if I 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.680 play ball, that's that's the way I want to play, 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.920 you know. So that was kind of. That was kind 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.080 of the team I grew up watching just all those 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.440 nutcases play ball. It's pretty pretty cool. So you said 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.679 you were from Cleveland, but you know, so we always 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.640 like to ask where are you from in a place 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:36.879 you call your hometown. Where I'm from, uh is Cleveland obviously, 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.880 Um the place I call home. You know, I'm gonna 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.199 be in two spots I'm gonna be. I have a 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.879 place at Notre Dame where we all went to school, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.600 and I have a place out here in Arizona. And 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:50.800 you know, people always ask me, you know, what's your 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.200 favorite pro team? And I don't really have one. And 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.280 it wasn't because I worked in the business. I mean 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.040 I played for the Houston Oilers which is now the 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.840 Tennessee Titans again for the youngsters out there, and then 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.520 the Philadelphia Eagles and then finished with the Miami Dolphins. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:05.840 Most of my years were in Philly, so I had 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.560 the most appreciation there. But I don't nobody there was 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.640 there when I was there now when I was there, 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.679 So I don't really root for a protein. But you know, 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.320 we have a lot of ties at Notre Dame. My 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.760 brother Bob went there, My brother Greg went there. I 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.119 went there, All three of my kids went there. I 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.199 met my wife there, her sister went there, so there 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.920 was a ton of us that went to school there. 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.359 So that place is really close to my heart and 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.680 our hearts for our family. So I'll probably spend a 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:35.840 lot of time in Arizona because we love it out 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.480 in Arizona, but we're will probably congregate the most will 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.800 be at our place at Notre Dame, just because that 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.160 place has been such a big part of our lives. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.240 We have to take a break in the morning. Anything. 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:56.439 We gotta pay some bills.

That's what I'm here for, a brother, cut 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:36.440 to a Podcast dot com. So growing up in Ohio. 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.640 How did this shape your perspective on how you see life, 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.040 how you maneuver through life today. Well, I mean, you know, 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.119 we were middle class, the lower middle class as far 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.399 as income, probably more lower from from the money side. 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.119 My dad, you know, worked he was a bricklayer and 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.800 then he worked side jobs and my mom was a secretary, 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.000 and he played ball in the Canadian Football League. He's 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.919 a football player. He played in Indiana and then in 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:04.240 the CFL. They there's a few NFL teams that wanted 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:06.320 him to come play there. But my brother Bob was born, 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:08.159 my brother Greg was born, and I was actually on 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.040 the way. He decided, you know, back then football wasn't 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:12.720 making a ton of money, so he decided he was 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.480 going to retire and just start raising the family. So 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.560 we learned from my parents a great work ethic, I 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.880 mean a great work ethic, and they were my dad's 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.199 best line to us. And you don't really understand a 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.399 lot of things parents are doing until obviously later. Is 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.600 in football. You know, before we went to practice, we 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.399 would work out on the bags in the backyard, and 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.560 then we go to practice, and then after practice we'd 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.760 work a little bit extra and then he would say 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.800 to us, now, whatever section you're on in schooled in 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.920 a certain subject, go back on the section you were 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.280 just on and make sure you understand it. Get on 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.000 the section that you're on and peruse the section ahead, 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.760 just so you know what's coming. He kind of applied it, 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.640 and my parents applied the sports side to the academic side, 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.720 and also said, you're not getting anywhere in sports without 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:03.879 the academics. You know, we weren't going to play football, 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.600 notre name unless we have the grades as well. So 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.359 that was always a big part. But he taught us, 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:13.880 both my parents, I should say, taught us sacrifice. Okay, 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.160 this is your goal, this is what you want to do. Well, 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.080 this is what it's gonna take. You may not be 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:19.720 able to go out with your friends on the weekend, 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:21.560 you may be up earlier and you want to, you 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:23.320 may go to bed later than you want to, but 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.600 this is what you need to do. And that's something 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:27.560 I was able to pass on to my kids at 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:29.959 a young age when they had their goals, you know, 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.520 playing football to a certain level. And my daughter was 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.120 really when I when a younger swimmer ranked nationally where 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.280 she wanted to do and I kind of said the 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.760 same things to them. Okay, you're gonna have to make 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.399
