66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: I wish this was back around back in the day

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: when you were playing.

68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: Telling me both no and I still am dealing with

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 5: pain and just issues from surgeries and back issues and

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 5: neck issues and just the wear and tear of playing

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: in the National Football League and playing at a you know,

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: a big university for for USC and college, so a

73
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 5: lot of just you know, you know, you have a surgery,

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 5: you have you have you know, residual pain for years

75
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 5: and aches and and so level select is something I've

76
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 5: been using, uh for five years now. I love it.

77
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: It's been great. It's been a game changer for me.

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: I've got kids I'm coaching and playing with and goofing

79
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: around and playing catch and soccer and basket you know

80
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: you name, and it's something that lets me continue to

81
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: be active. It's something that takes that edge off that

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: pain that's that I consistently have in my knee, in

83
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: my back and my neck. And it's really, like I said,

84
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: it's been a game changer for me.

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, I agree because with that CBD and I was

86
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: screwing around one day in the house, just you know,

87
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: playing around with my kids, and all of a sudden,

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: I took a step and I'm went ooh. And you know,

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 1: of course, my youngest eighteen year old said, what's happening?

90
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Old man? All right?

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, the zinger the old man. There's no argument, old man. No,

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 5: It's like like I said, it's been a game changer.

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: You can buy it at CVS, at the pharmacy. Now

94
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: you can buy it on Amazon. It's an over the

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: counter product, so it's completely healthy, it's completely safe, safe,

96
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: it's all natural. And like I said, I mean, if

97
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: if you still want to be active and keep up

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: with youngsters and young friends, you know, son in law,

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: whatever it is, grandkids, if you need a little something

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: for that ach and for that pain. It it works

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 5: magic almost, it feels at times, and I love it

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: and it's been a big part of my life ever

103
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 5: since I've been done playing.

104
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: So you're an ambassador for Level Select, are you? Do

105
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: you also own equity in it because obviously the big

106
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: thing right now is professional athletes, not just being the

107
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: hired spokesperson, but really being a partner with the brand.

108
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 5: I've partnered with him. A buddy of mine started at

109
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 5: Todd Davis. He came over to my house. He's like, man,

110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: I've gotten and he was a big part of LifeLock,

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 5: so that was, you know, the cybersecurity company, and then

112
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: he moved on to the next thing, which was Level Select.

113
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 5: And so he comes over, we're sitting down, I try it.

114
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 5: I give it to my wife to try it. I

115
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: gave it to my mom like, I'm like, what am

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 5: I missing here? This is amazing? And I invested and

117
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 5: you know, within sixty days I had I had invested

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: in the company. I'm a part of the company. Proud

119
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 5: to be a part of the company. It's a great group,

120
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 5: very very smart, very cutting edge product and technology, and

121
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: just great to be a part of.

122
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: You know, for our audience, you have to understand Carson

123
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: back in the two thousand and five wild Card game

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: versus Pittsburgh, suffered a devastating knee injury, right acl PCLMS.

125
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: I think every CEO in the book you heard there,

126
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: and it led to something called the chemo clause, right,

127
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: which was, you know, you can't hit the fensive quarterbacks,

128
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: you know, below the waist or whatever. Now where we

129
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: are today in the game to the concussions. Is the

130
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: NFL doing enough to protect quarterbacks in today's day and age.

131
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 5: Oh, they're doing more than they ever have before. When

132
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 5: I first got in the league in two thousand and three,

133
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: you could have at it with quarterbacks. You could pick

134
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 5: them up, you could body slam them.

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: You know.

136
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: Back then there was a lot a lot of stams

137
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 5: were playing on turf still, so you're really playing on,

138
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: you know, a concrete floor with a little bit of

139
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 5: fuzz on top. And as the game has progressed over

140
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: the years with my knee injury, Tom Brady had a

141
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: low an injury back in like oh six, oh seven,

142
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 5: somewhere around their same kind of situation hit Low. You

143
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: mentioned to the concussions, the things we're seeing. I mean,

144
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: they are doing everything they can to protect the quarterback.

145
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: I think the quarterbacks never been more protected. I think

146
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 5: the next level would be just taking his pads off

147
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: and don't let anybody touch them, and they're not going

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 5: to go there. But the game has changed there, you know,

149
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 5: from the receiver position. When I first got in the league,

150
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 5: if you threw a ball late over the middle, he

151
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: was that receiver's gonna get his helmet knocked off and

152
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: there would be no penalty. Now you can't hit the

153
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 5: defenseless receiver. I just think the league has taken so

154
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: many steps to try to make the game as safe

155
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 5: as possible, But at the end of the day, it

156
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: is a violent.

157
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: Physical game.

158
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 5: Concussions will happen, blown out knees, broken bones, those things,

159
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: unfortunately are going to be part of the game, and

160
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: in order for them to not be part of the game,

161
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 5: you almost have to make it flag football.

162
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: So with all the protections they have in place now

163
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: for quarterbacks, I mean, is it fair that Jalen Hurts

164
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: is making two hundred and fifty.

165
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: Five dollars over five years? Now?

166
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 5: I'm just kidding, It's it's just.

167
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: My I mean, but think about it. I mean, when

168
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 2: you came into the NFL, right, if I'm not missaken

169
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: six years, forty seven million Cincinnati Bengals back in then

170
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: you know, two thousand and three.

171
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: I believe.

172
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: I mean, think about how far the quarterback position has come,

173
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: the importance thereof. And that leads me into obviously, what's

174
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: going on here in New York. Aaron Rodgers to the Jets.

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on this trade?

176
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 5: Well, it's huge for the Jets, obviously, but it just

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: it seems to me that it's almost a lateral movement

178
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 5: as far as rosters and concern Aaron, going from that

179
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: Green Bay roster to the New York roster, you can

180
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 5: argue there's a couple better positions, maybe some better players.

181
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: It might be a little bit of an upgrade roster wise,

182
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: but it's not a drastic upgrade. It's not worth drawing

183
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: a line in the sands, and you got to trade

184
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: me because you have to get to this team. This

185
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: team is so talented. There's so many good, great players

186
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: in New York. I don't think that's the case. In fact,

187
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 5: if you were to compare these two rosters and you

188
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 5: were to look at the next best player after Aaron Rodgers,

189
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: it's Aaron Jones, the running back in Green Bay. I mean,

190
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: he is a game breaking, game changing player. There's some

191
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 5: really good players on this Jets roster, but it is

192
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 5: not a massive upgrade. And he's going to a much

193
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 5: more challenging conference because you got Patrick Mahomes and you

194
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: got you know, in your own division, you got Josh Allen,

195
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: you got Tua and Miami, and Tua may not be

196
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: a Josh Allen, but that Miami a roster is spectacular.

197
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: And you look at the old NFC North, you know

198
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 5: that that you know, Green Bay, Detroit's kind of up

199
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 5: and you got Joe and Cincinnati. But I just I

200
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 5: think he's going to a much more challenging conference and

201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 5: division and at the roster's not that much better.

202
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I admit as a Detroit Lions fan. E that

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: much challenge man with the Packers. Man, But we're getting there.

204
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: We're getting it. By the way, full disclosure, if you

205
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: notice any drool on his copy, it's because that's a

206
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: die Jet fan right there.

207
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: All right.

208
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: Well, another thing too, Aaron's going to a defensive minded

209
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 5: head coach. Now, it's nice when you're a quarterback and

210
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 5: you get to play for an offensive minded head coach.

211
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: Everything is built around the offense.

212
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: For the Carson, I agree with everything you're saying. I mean,

213
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: but you know you went through some some issues back

214
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: with Cincinnati ownership back in the day, right, if I'm

215
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: not mistaken. I mean, how hard is it for a

216
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: quarterback to play for its where he just doesn't respect ownership,

217
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: he doesn't like management, they don't get along. I mean

218
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: he was almost forced into retirement as well. So, I mean,

219
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: do you think the Aaron Rodgers that's coming to the

220
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: Jets can be the Aaron Rodgers of old?

221
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's a handful of quarterbacks that when

222
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: I watch play, I say, Wow, Aaron Rodgers at the

223
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: top of the list. So you've got that kind of

224
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 5: talent organizationally coming in for the Jets. You've got to

225
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: be ready to deal with Aaron Rodgers. He is not,

226
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: you know, super easy to deal with. Let's be honest.

227
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 5: There is some expectations, there are some things he wants

228
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 5: to weigh in on. He wants a little piece of

229
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 5: the roster, he wants a little piece of what they're

230
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: doing in free agency, in the draft, and they weren't

231
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: willing to give him that in Green Bay and unfortunately

232
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: it didn't work out. The Jets have to be ready

233
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 5: to give him a little bit, give him a little

234
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 5: say in this, give him a little say in that.

235
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 5: And so you have to be ready to take on

236
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 5: that kind of talent to also be ready to take

237
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 5: on that kind of attitude and that kind of ego,

238
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 5: because that ego changes that building, it changes that organization.

239
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: You know.

240
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is often cited as one of the best

241
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: mobile quarterbacks, and mobile quarterbacks are really having a moment

242
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: right now compared to pocket passers. What do you think

243
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: is better provides better value in the current NFL environment

244
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: right now?

245
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 5: Great question. It is really challenging to watch your quarterback

246
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 5: get hit. And when you watch Josh Allen and you

247
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: watch some of these bigger more physical running quarterbacks take

248
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: these hits. Every time he takes off and exposes his body,

249
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 5: he's exposing the organization. And so Aaron really over the

250
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 5: last five or six years, has really slowed down his

251
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 5: outside the pocket game. He is really trying to win

252
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 5: the game and play the game inside the pocket. But

253
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 5: when these quarterbacks get on the run and they go

254
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 5: taken on lineman. I mean, you watch Josh Allen, He's

255
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 5: a great example. He tries to run through linebackers, he

256
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 5: tries to run over defensive lineman and every time he's

257
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: doing that, that organization and that team is susceptible to

258
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: so maybe not having that quarterback for the rest of

259
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: the season, or.

260
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: Get very stress watching him run.

261
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: It's hard.

262
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: It's hard to do if you were the owner. I

263
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: just imagine being the owner, and every time he takes

264
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 5: off to get six yards, was that six yards worth

265
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 5: putting our organization? Exposing our organization?

266
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: And so.

267
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: There's so many good young quarterbacks that are fast and

268
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 5: quick and can run. And the older guys like myself,

269
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 5: Tom Brady's, Drew Brees, guys that played the game from

270
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 5: inside the quarterback. Those guys, you know, they're not all

271
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: the rage right now, they're not all the excitement. The

272
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 5: excitement is you want the guy that can run. But

273
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, when you look at

274
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 5: the most successful quarterbacks in this league, Drew Brees owns

275
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 5: every passing record, Tom Brady owns every record as far

276
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 5: as wins and championships. Those guys did it inside the pocket.

277
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: Those guys did not ever do it outside the pocket.

278
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, when it comes down

279
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 5: to winning the big game, you've got to beat teams

280
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 5: from stepping up in the pocket and delivering the ball

281
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: accurately downfield. That's how you win championships. Peyton Man proved it.

282
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 5: Eli did it a couple times. Tom Brady did it

283
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 5: a couple times, more than a couple times. But that's

284
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: where the game is still one when it comes down

285
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 5: to it.

286
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: So maybe that's the way into the league to be

287
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 3: one of those mobile quarterbacks and then you evolve into

288
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: a pocket pascer.

289
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 5: You've got to have that in your game. When it

290
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: comes down to it, it's third and seven. You've got

291
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 5: to recognize the defense, get your offense in the right

292
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 5: play at the line of scrimmage, and step up in

293
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: the pocket and deliver the ball accurately. The team is

294
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: paying other people to take off and run with it.

295
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 5: The team is paying the running backs and the receivers

296
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 5: and the skill position players. At the end of the day,

297
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 5: you just the proofs in the pudding. Look at what

298
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 5: Tom Brady did. Look at the amount of championships. He

299
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: never did it from outside the pocket.

300
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Carson, if you just think about I mean

301
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: this Thursday, the draft, and you look at the five

302
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: four or five quarterbacks that may be taken in the

303
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: first round, all are running quarterbacks, from Anthony Richardson to

304
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: Bryce Young to see just shrowd you name it right.

305
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: So I take your point there, but I think it's

306
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: kind of interesting though, is it is draft? Have Thursday?

307
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: Tell us what these athletes are doing to prepare for draft.

308
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: What did you do back in two thousand and three

309
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: to prepare the draft?

310
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: Man? Well, mine was different. I knew I had already

311
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 5: signed a contract with the Bengals prior to the draft,

312
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 5: and so the word was out. I think I signed

313
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: it two or three days before the draft. And so

314
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 5: you know, as the number one, as the number one pick,

315
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 5: you're sitting in the green room with everybody else. Normally

316
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 5: you don't know who's going number one. You have an idea,

317
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 5: but they knew. And so Commissioner Paul Tagliaboo comes out

318
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 5: to the stage and he says, with the Cincinnati Bengals,

319
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 5: you know two thousand and three, you were on the clock,

320
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 5: And then he walks away, and everybody in Radio City

321
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 5: Music Hall was pissed. They're like, no, we already know

322
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 5: you're going to start the clock, and let's let's not

323
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: waste fifteen minutes. Let's get to the number two picks.

324
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: So all of a sudden, they're booing Tagliaboo, They're booing

325
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: this long. I've already signed the meils done, just announce

326
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: it and the second pick, and so everybody inside is

327
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: booing and I walk on the stage. They're still booing.

328
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 5: They're like, man, welcome to the NFL.

329
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Huh, here's my moment from great questions to stupid questions.

330
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: When you were with USC did you wish there was

331
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: an IL? And I'm sure they answered to be no, man,

332
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: I haven't. I didn't. I don't want the money. In fact,

333
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: i'd pay. They are get today's college athletes, and God

334
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: bless them. Quite frankly, it's like they're getting the money

335
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: that they deserve.

336
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: So my senior year in college, no nil deals. I

337
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: think I think my stipend check was like three hundred

338
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 5: and forty six dollars a month. I lived in a

339
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 5: four bedroom absolute dump with eight other dudes in the

340
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 5: football team. We were splitting rooms in the hood. We

341
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 5: had rats, we had spiders, we were you know, I

342
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: think I had a mattress on the ground and we

343
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 5: were scraping by. So absolutely, yes, I wish there was

344
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 5: an an IL deal. But my senior year, you know,

345
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: I had won the Heisman, we had won a bunch

346
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 5: of games. There was ninety thousand people in the stands

347
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: every week at the coliseum in downtown LA, and we

348
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: were still making three hundred and forty six dollars a month.

349
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: So yes, I wish there was an IL.

350
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh Man.

351
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: That's great when you look at this new crop of

352
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: college athletes becoming future professional football players, what is it

353
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: that you would advise them when it comes to thinking

354
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: through their career arc, not just the first team they

355
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: signed with, but kind of planning out their career into

356
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: life after the league.

357
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: I just think your team is so important and not

358
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 5: the football team that you're playing. For it's it's the

359
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: team of individuals around you as you're building your business

360
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: and your brand. So having a great financial advisor one,

361
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: because you know, as soon as you as soon as

362
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 5: your name is called on draft day, everybody's got a

363
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 5: new product, the new idea new investment, a new pitch.

364
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: And so having having really really strong support financially for

365
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 5: your brand, for your future, having a great you know,

366
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 5: somebody to work on issues and aches and pains, and

367
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 5: having a deep, deep tissue massage therapist, a chiropract I mean,

368
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 5: there's so many, so many things you need around you

369
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: at such a young age. You know, you're going from

370
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 5: like I said, scraping buy in college and maybe maybe

371
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 5: not as much anymore with nil deals, but still you're

372
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 5: going to a new league, a new world. You have

373
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 5: new financial security, and you need the right team around you.

374
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 5: So I just think that's so important. So many guys,

375
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 5: you know, they say, oh, I'm gonna stick with you know,

376
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 5: somebody I grew up with, or you know, family members

377
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 5: that I can trust. That's tough too, because at the

378
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 5: end of the day, when you're talking about you know,

379
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 5: forty fifty sixty eighty million dollar contract that some of

380
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 5: these guys are going to come in. Having the right

381
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 5: team around you to watch that net worth grow, to

382
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: protect it, having somebody to send email. You know, your

383
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: your buddy from high school sends an email about a

384
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 5: new business he wants to start, and having you know,

385
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 5: people to vet and look at deals and understand why

386
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 5: these don't work and just learn from them. So surrounding

387
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 5: yourself with a great team that also educates you along

388
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 5: the way, because that's something I look back and I

389
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 5: missed out on so much education. When I started investing

390
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: right away, I was as I was, you know, a

391
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 5: professional athlete, and having support, having people to lean on,

392
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: having people that have been through it and done it before.

393
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 5: And and you know, you're starting all over from a

394
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 5: big lump sum of money, and how you guide that

395
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 5: money and direct that money is a big move. It's

396
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 5: it's it's you know, there's a lot of expectation on you,

397
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 5: and having that support system around you is so important.

398
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: And then you know, at the end of the day,

399
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 5: these guys are twenty years old, twenty one years old.

400
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: Think about what we were all doing when we're twenty

401
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: twenty one years old.

402
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: One man, Carson Palmer, my goodness, man, what we are

Speaker 3: I watched close to close? Yeah, all right, So do

415
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: you think the Fed is going to reach US two

416
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: percent inflation target?

417
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,120
