You can hear us weekday 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.280 mornings on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Monday 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.479 through Friday, six am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific. But 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.280 we are in for the boys here on this three 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.200 hour extravaganza taking you all the way up until noon 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.880 Eastern time, nine o'clock Pacific. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.639 Still kind of reeling from lead. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.800 To lap our executive producers hot dog count from yesterday 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:38.880 on National hot Dog Day, revolting the five hot dogs 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.640 Lee had yesterday in a four to five hour span 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.080 because it was Hot Dog Day? 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.440 Is that more than you've had in your entire life? 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.920 Brady? Like that? 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.000 I'd have to go back so far to think about 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.320 the last time. I mean, I haven't ate many hot dogs. 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.040 I threw him up once I was a kid, and 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.040 that was kind of it. Once you see, like what 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.960 you eat thrown back up, it's hard to then eat 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:04.400 that again. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.360 At least that's that's not his for me. I don't 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:12.840 know if it is for you guys, I mean, is 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:13.720 that is that too much? 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:13.959 That? 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:14.280 Tm? 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:14.520 Huh. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.000 I just have a weak stomach. Man, It's all good. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.319 You If you could have seen the way I threw 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.120 up all over this little like back patio. It was 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.400 covered and it was a combination of hot dogs, orange. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.600 Juice, and chips. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.520 At like six in the morning, my dad, Chopper came 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.720 out and just goes, what the hell. He just he 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.200 gets the hose out, He sprang down the back patio. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.120 He sprang me down. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.760 At the same time, I'm like, in my pajamas is 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.640 soaking wet with puke and everything on me. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.760 It was, oh, not good. 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.600 You know, it brings up a fond memory of throwing 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.120 up for for me as well. 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.800 You know New Orleans. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.320 No not, I didn't throw up in New Orleans. In 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.240 New Orleans, no, no, I did it. I did it. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.880 But my daughter, she didn't want to go to school 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.800 this one day in particular, the one that just celebrated 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.280 her tenth birthday. And she's like, oh, you know, my 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.640 stomach is hurting, like, my stomach hurts. And you know, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.880 you's an eight year old kid, You're like, your stomach 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.040 doesn't hurt. Your stomach is going to be just fine. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.280 You gotta go to school. We're driving to school. We 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.560 almost are to school. She's like, Dad, my stomach hurts. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.960 And I was like, I was like, it's just odd 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.600 that the closer we're getting to school. And before I 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.639 could even finish my sentence, she I mean she hit 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.400 the back seat up, she hit my arm, the arm rest, 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:47.919 the foot. Oh, you wasn't lying. And it looked like it. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.720 It looked like kepto bismal. I had no idea why 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.239 it came out that the color that it did, and 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.519 like the texture of what it was. It was bad. 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.160 But I turned around and took her home. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.200 Well, what's the old adage, you know, just listen to 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.920 your body. It'll tell you everything you need to know. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.680 If something hurts, don't do it, if if if something 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:11.079 comes back. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.440 What if you think somebody's given you an excuse? I 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.040 felt bad? 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.640 Only one way to prove you wrong. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:21.800 Well, I've never questioned her again. She was telling the truth. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.440 He got an honest kid, there, I guess. So I 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.320 gave it up all love it too. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:28.520 Well. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.959 I don't know if you know if Russell Wilson's ready 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.440 to give it up yet clearly he's not uh. This 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:39.240 was in speaking with Connor Or of Sports Illustrated, Russell 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.160 Wilson spoke about how much longer he wants to play 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.320 quote five plus years. I can still throw the ball 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.120 sixty five seventy yards, I can still move, and I 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.480 think I'm capable of doing a lot. It's funny because 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.760 to me, being in Denver in my first year, I 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.680 was hurt most of the time and battled through it. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.320 The second year, I felt like myself again. Then going 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.760 to Pittsburgh, obviously, unfortunately I got injured early in the season, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.920 didn't end up the way we wanted it to, but 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.000 it just rejuvenated everything. And then being here in New 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.560 York with the Giants, it's like playing at the stadium 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.840 again knowing that I've held the trophy here before. So 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.279 that was Russell Wilson talking with Connor Orr about his 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:22.240 desire to keep playing four or five more years. This 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:27.040 is his fourth team in five years. Hasn't the market 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.440 kind of already spoken on him? And they just drafted 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.400 a quarterback in the first round, So it feels like 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.200 it's more likely that if. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.720 He brought in a backup that could beat him out. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.760 Yeah, it just feels like it's more likely that if 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.200 he does want to play four or five more years, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.599 it's going to be in situations like this where yeah, 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.440 he's the starter for the time being until the rookie 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.560 or the younger quarterback gets developed. That's what it feels 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.080 like at this point in his career. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:55.400 God Cue, you got it. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.440 I think it's hard for every athlete. It doesn't matter, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.760 by the way, like at what level, but in particular 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.919 when you're at the professional level, and even for someone 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.400 who has won a Super Bowl, has been to two, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.440 has you know, played at an MVP level, I think 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:18.599 to feel like they're not able to get the job 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.839 done right. I think we all like to some degree. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.200 I mean, again, LeVar, I'm sure there's times when you see, man, man, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.440 you're like, I could take them. Like, if I find 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.760 you need to go in for a few plays, I 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.479 could do it. Now can you do it consistently for 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.800 the entirety of a game, for the entirety of a season. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.680 That's where it gets a lot more difficult, not only 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.599 for your level of performance, but just to stay healthy. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:41.440 I mean. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.000 One of the things that he admitted to you when 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.880 he's saying this too, is the injuries that have crept 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.960 up more and more. You remember how durable Russell Wilson 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.640 was at the beginning of his career, despite the fact 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.480 that he put himself in harm's way all the time. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.880 I mean, dude, how often did we see him in 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.880 his rookie and even second, third, fourth seas There'd be 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.680 these players where you like, holy cow, is Houdini? How 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.400 do you find his way out of that? How did 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.080 you make that throw? How did you make that player 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.720 get out of you know, and scrambled it to run 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.200 and pick up the first down. Now, at times, you know, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.239 he never took the big shot for the most part, 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.000 but I think as it wore on and as he 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.680 kind of realized that that's harder and harder to do. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.880 As you age and you're not quite as fast or explosive, 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.200 your game has to change as well. And I think 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.279 that's one of the things that not just for him, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.919 it's difficult for any professional athlete to be able to 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.320 see that because the game mentally is slown down, like 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.080 what you see out there is like in slow mow. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.240 You know where everyone's supposed to be, you know what 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.800 the responsibilities are. Then it becomes more of a battle 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.120 of the physical and your ability to actually do it 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.520 and get your body to do what you wanted to 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.760 do when you need it to be done. And that's 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.960 where I feel like there's a bit of a disconnect 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.440 probably between you know, how how he's feeling, how he's played, 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.040 but what he thinks about, you know, everything mentally, because 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.440 he's like, dude, this game's never felt easier in my 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:12.360 mind watching it and seeing it. So it's it's just 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.280 kind of interesting to me when you hear these words 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.880 because at times, you know they might come off it 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.200 sound like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.320 You know, it comes off a little bit like that. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.000 But how much you want to make a bet I 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.160 can throw a football over. 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:34.280 The mountain, I'll just say, like, at times it feels 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.040 like that, but then at other times you go, okay, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.840 like he just feels like he's healthy. 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.560 Now, he's in a better spot to go and perform. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.640 But time will tell. I mean the draft pick two 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.080 behind him that you know the fans are gonna be 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.640 clamoring for him. The organization is eventually gonna want to 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.760 see what they have in Jackson Dart. He's obviously a 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.520 first rund draft pick for a reason. So the running 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:55.720 is not kind of already on the wall. And I 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.400 think that's what makes it difficult for Russell Wilson. The 0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.720 spot he has to. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.840 Hit the ground running. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.040 There can't be any lag or stall or anything in 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.160 his performance. And the injuries like he had last year 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.200 starting off in Pittsburgh where he couldn't get into the 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.920 season healthy, none of that can take place. He's got 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.680 a very very slim margin for air to start this thing, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.240 get off on a hot start to maintain being the 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:18.000 starting quarterback. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:19.760 By the way, to your point, he didn't miss a 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.400 start until his last year in Seattle, and I think 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.040 that was the mallet finger he suffered. He suffered the 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.080 mallet finger his final year in Seattle, and then he 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.280 missed a couple of games, But before that, never missed 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.160 a game, never missed a start his entire career. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.400 And by the way, and I've told you this because 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.000 I to this day, i'd male finger my my index 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.120 fingers on my throng hands. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.480 Never never felt the same after that. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.079 And you know, again, I don't know exactly what he 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.960 went through from the procedure everything else, And it sounds 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.760 like something so small like LeVar. 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.400 Is probably like, oh, like what are you your index finger? 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.680 No, but it's like for a throw, it's important, right 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.680 like that, that's like a little thing where you see 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.760 like a major league baseball pitcher, he's like on the 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.760 il for like a hangnail, but like it's kind of 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.840 important if they can't throw the way they need to. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.000 And I don't know that he's ever been the same 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.200 throwing the football in his career after that, and again 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.280 something small, but those injuries add up and it changes 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:12.920 the way you play. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.319 Let me throw this out at you, guys. We talked 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.760 about Bill Belichick or excuse me, Robert Kraft and what 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.600 he had to say and taking the risk in hiring 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.760 Bill Belichick, which to me was a flex to remind 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.720 people like, let's slow down here. Let's not get carried 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.440 away about talking about Bill Belichick because he's going to 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.559 be a Hall of Fame coach. Let's not get carried 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.680 away about who he was a part of making a 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.080 legendary player. And Tom Brady because I'm the one that 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.520 made it all possible with what I did. He's searching 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:52.120 for that validation, he's searching for that appreciation. I look 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:57.359 at Russell Wilson, and I think he's searching for the validation. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.560 I think he's still searching for or the appreciation. He's 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.520 going to two Super Bowls, as you've mentioned, he's won 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.760 one Super Bowl, as we've mentioned. I don't know what 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.120 the ten Pro Bowls are. I don't know if they 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:19.200 are first first ballot Pro Bowlers or if they're alternate 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.400 Pro Bowlers, which it does. I mean at some point, 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.200 I don't know if it still matters, but at some 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.920 point it mattered if you were an alternate versus if 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.840 you were a starter to the Pro Bowl. So I 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.160 don't know how many of those ten are one or 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.400 the other. But outside of that, he's never been a 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.200 first team All Pro. And if you look at his 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:46.880 body of work, if he's not as appreciated as he 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:52.320 needs to be going into retirement or possibly ending up 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.520 being a career backup for the rest of his time 0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:00.440 as an NFL player, is he at risk of not 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.440 being a Hall of Famer. And I wonder if that 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.360 is what's circulating in his mind within this five year 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.760 period of time. I'm in a great market. It's a 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.680 really good situation to be in. I know New York 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:19.040 has struggled, but I'm kind of high on this Giants 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.360 team this year. I think they're going to surprise some people. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.000 And if he can be the catalyst at the quarterback's 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.200 position in that that type of a season doing it 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:35.400 in New York, is one year enough depending on what 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.640 type of success they have to solidify his career, or 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.719 does it take one. I think at this point I 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.559 throw it out at you, guys, and you could take 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.360 it however, you know where you want to take it. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:49.320 But I think he still needs more more than one 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:54.120 good season to solidify being at least a first ballot 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.760 Hall of Famer let alone, possibly could miss being a 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.920 Hall of Famer if he doesn't have critical years in 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.559 these last few years that he has in the league 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.200 as a starter. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.160 Which is kind of crazy considering if you were to say, 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.000 second to last year in Seattle, all right, guys in 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.280 the NFL, that are you think are going to be 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.880 Hall of Famers? He would have been one that I 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.560 would have thought had been a Hall of Famer. But 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.920 the post Seattle era has been so up and down 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.760 and played out so poorly publicly that I do wonder 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.680 if now the perception of him has changed from people 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.599 around the league because it feels I mean even J C. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.320 Trettor was you know, throwing him under the bus, you 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.880 know for not you know, not getting the contract that 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:37.719 he was looking. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:37.920 For and all that. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.680 It just feels like there's a well, when the discussion 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.320 happens around Russell Wilson, it's never positive anymore. And that 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.680 was never the case in Seattle until the end. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:47.360 Until the end. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.199 Yeah, well, I felt like last year got positive. I mean, 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.400 he came in and gave Pittsburgh a spark on offense. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.839 I know the season didn't end the way they wanted 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.000 it to, and he probably wasn't playing his best towards 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.880 the end, but you know, you factor in the picking, 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.079 you know, sometimes deciding he wants to be out there. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.439 Maybe he doesn't. I don't know. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.920 I mean there was a compilation I saw in social 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.239 media last season when I was like I could only imagine, 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.280 like I was fortunate enough to play with so many 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.679 receivers that you know, you knew when they were upset, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.080 you knew when they wanted the ball, and maybe they 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.560 weren't getting the ball either because the defense was taking 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.560 them away or they weren't the number one read on 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.920 a certain progression. You know, there were sometimes guys where 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.760 they're just having bad days or they get too emotional 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.440 about it, and you would see that from time to time, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.360 but I never had anyone who I felt like just 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.440 wasn't going to participate in the play. I mean there's 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.760 times where I felt like that watching him last year, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.560 So that played a role as well. 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:44.280 I just. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.559 I had a former head coach tell me one time, 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.920 when you start moving around to teams, He's like, it's 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.800 really really hard to gain traction again. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.360 And he told me this at this point when. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.600 I was a backup, and you know, really they were 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.560 offering me an opportunity to come back as a backup, 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.760 and I just I wanted to take a chance to 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.880 go see if I can compete to start, or be 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.000 in a situation where if I was a backup, I'd 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.720 have a better chance of playing. Like to me, I 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.880 hated holding a clipboard, I hated sitting in meeting rooms 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.320 and baskey being an insurance agent, Like that's what you 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.440 are as a backup quarterback. You're the insurance policy where 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.480 you go in and all of a sudden you've got 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.080 to feel in the void like a starter, not getting 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.280 the preparation, not getting the practice as far as the 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:27.960 same as a starter. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:28.960 But that's the expectation. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.600 And I was always like, MANI stinks like I always 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.120 needed reps. You know, I was slow to learn how 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.720 to read when I was young. I was I was 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.360 always kind of slower to develop in that regard. So 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.320 I was always someone who wanted to have, you know, more, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.760 more of an opportunity to play and to actually learn 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.840 from experience. And I think that's the tough part for 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.880 Russell Wilson, is you get to this point where you 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:51.840 can't find traction. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.080 How long did it take? 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.600 I don't know how long it took. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.440 I'd have to go back and talk to my mom, 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.680 but I just remember, you know, her needing to take 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.360 extra time, meaning need to take a little extra time 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.160 in school as well. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.680 But again I digress. Ye, I'm sorry. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.000 I think one of the things is when you get 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.840 to a point like you're saying, Jonas, what four teams 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.760 in five years? It gets hard to find traction because 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.680 everyone that's there around you hasn't experienced the success you 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.400 had in Seattle. They don't know you that credibility. No, no, 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.000 I mean, think about think about this, like think about 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.120 how long US three now have worked together. We were 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.440 together for years now, so we know when we see 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:36.920 each other at Super Bowl whatever, we like, we know 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.040 what to expect. We know, like even if hey, one 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.000 of us goes out with Lee, you know, Lee's a 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.080 wild time. Like we know we're still we know we're 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.440 US three with Lee. We know US three is still 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.600 going to show up and perform. Now we don't know 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.280 if Lee will be there, but we know US three 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.880 will show up and perform. But like that's not the case. Now, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.480 he's got to build that back up. You know, he's 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.200 only one Chili Cheese National Chili Cheese Dog. Hot Dog 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.200 did away from you know, gassing up. Christopher Fetter's not 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.600 gonna be able to produce this show anymore. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:10.520 That man could have shown up with chip teeth, He 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.600 could have been hit ran over by a mac truck. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.000 I mean, there were several different scenarios that could have 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.080 played out where I mean he didn't want to show 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.280 up to one event because all of the cuts and 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.000 scrapes on it on his face. I mean, it's just 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.600 it's bad Lee. It's a it's a it's a very 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.040 stressful time to wonder if we're going to roll with 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:36.240 Lee when it's a week long trip. That's that's It's 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:40.360 a great it's a great example, and in comparison, it's 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.400 a great compre And. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.920 Then I step up as the d H in the 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:46.960 on Friday when you guys were hurting. 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.000 No, we weren't hurting. We we were we I mean, 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.240 we were tired. It was the end of the week. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.280 You only didn't go out because you face planted. That's 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.120 why you didn't go out. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.080 Still showed up. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.240 The next day. Yeah, but I'm saying you didn't go 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.120 out that night like we did. Your nose, that's why 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:05.640 we were hurting so bad on Friday. 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.600 You were on I R. You're in your hotel. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.639 Definitely, But we're a team, baby. 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:12.119 Basketball. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:12.800 I was trying. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.199 I was feeding him drinks Thursday night before and he 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.720 was not saying shock, he was not saying. 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.720 I'm just saying you were bold enough to actually go 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.080 on the journey into you know, downtown, into to uh 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.119 what's the street called Bourbon Street. Yeah, you guys, I 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.720 just can't believe that you would do it, like, of 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.040 all places to go with Lee where you knew it 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.240 was the wrong place where he would be Bourbon Street 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:40.400 would be tops on. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:40.920 That he was. 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.920 He had like a three hour head start. I said, yeah, 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.199 I'll go check it out. And the best part is 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.760 I called Brady and because you were like you just 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.439 like staying in the hotel, And I called Brady. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:52.320 He's like, all, what do you think? 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:53.080 And do you want to get dinner? 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:54.280 I was like, I kind of want to check out 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:59.199 Bourbon Street and Brady's like, yeah, I'm definitely not doing that, Like, okay, oh, 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.240 I've never been, so I want to go check it out. 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:01.880 And I get there. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:06.520 By the way, in my defense, this is also after 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:07.280 a dude got killed. 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.600 I'm pretty sure he got drugged and killed. 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.560 Not saying that situation would play out for me, but 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.159 you know, it's not the safest place and it's like, 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.119 you know, we had one more night here, you know, 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.320 why put that at risk? 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.000 Right? Yeah, we were safe in the hotel. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.560 Why would we leave a good time with Avar to 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:25.440 go find a good time? 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.400 Yeah? I mean we have a good time, we make 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.960 the party. But Lee apparently he has to have more 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.320 he has and so I went and found that hand 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.200 grenade that I was on assignment. I was on assignment. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.399 We did see our entire Fox crew. To Jonas, you 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.520 were like leaving at the worst possible time for your 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:44.480 professional career. 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.360
