Speaker 5: whole team there. Jeff Fisher was my guy. It's a

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: long story short. I was Stooley in twenty eleven and

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 5: then once you kind of joined the mothership if you will. Uh,

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: it seemed like a perfect synergy between the two brands,

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,560

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360

154
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,480

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: so much more relaxed when you expected to kind of

156
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,720

00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: like the move from Minnesota, choosing Atlanta, not re signing

160
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: with Minnesota. We got into a lot of stuff and

161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: you're right, like afterwards, it's like he's a role model cat.

162
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: He is. We said this on the drive back from Atlanta.

163
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins is a guy you and your boys who

164
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: are going out partying with in college make fun of.

165
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: You make fun of Kirk Cousins when you're in college,

166
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: like this guy, he didn't do anything. He's such a

167
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: square at this, that and the other. Fast forward thirty two,

168
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: thirty four years old. You think Kirk Cousins the guy

169
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: you want to be, Like, yeah, that he just represents

170
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: what it is to be a family man, to be

171
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: a professional, the way he handles himself. I to have

172
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: a lot of admiration for Kirk Cousins, especially after this interview.

173
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the leader man. It's like even when he's

174
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: somebody that you say you're in college with and say,

175
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: oh he does is like he's kind of a square,

176
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: YadA YadA. You're ultimately saying that, but you know, deep

177
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: down that's how you should be handling right exactly. He

178
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: just don't have the word. You don't have the discipline

179
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: and the wherewith zac at it. So it's easier to

180
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: just make fun of it and laugh at it. But

181
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: you know that we should all be that, we should

182
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: all strive to be like like Kirk Cousins.

183
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 4: Now, obviously we were super excited to have Kirk Cousins

184
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: on the show, but the thing that Kirk was most

185
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: excited about being on the show was explaining to us

186
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: that quarter socks are back. Yeah, yeah, absolutely love or

187
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: some quarter socks we should have. I'm wearing ankle socks

188
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: right now, like some sort of twenty twenty three bitch dude.

189
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: I should I'm not with the times. Maybe we should

190
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: do it with him, go back to quarters. Warner does it,

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 4: and if Fred Warner doesn't, that's cool.

192
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

193
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 4: Fred Warner is a guy. When you see him, you're

194
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: just like, this guy looks cool. He just is a

195
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: cool looking cat. Yeah he's got he's got the build,

196
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 4: but he's also got the dreads hanging out. He's got

197
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: a little style to him. That's a guy you want

198
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: to follow because he's not too over the top. You're like,

199
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: I can never pull that off. Yeah, he's a dude

200
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: that like I can maybe do a little bit of

201
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 4: that and get some residuals.

202
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: And then you just so happen to see quarter socks

203
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: on him and you're like, those dude gotta go hard.

204
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they kind of are nice. I wonder what's setting

205
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: those shoes off right now? Quarter socks. That's exactly what's

206
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: gotta be THK, we.

207
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: Should do it all right. I got some small white

208
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: ones on right now.

209
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: Those aren't quarters though, those are ankle boys.

210
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the quarter ones are probably go over the

211
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: little nine. Yeah, it would happen. Uh, it would be

212
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: better suited for this. This news we received every weekend

213
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: of We're pregnant, the dad buy we are pregnant. There's

214
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of hearsay, a lot of

215
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of for interpretation on the

216
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: apps on Will looks disappointed, he's bummed that it's a girl.

217
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: I know. I put the guy that looked excited and

218
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: he's smiling but has a gun to his head.

219
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: Right.

220
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Uh, there's a lot up for interpretation, but I will

221
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: say this, I am disappointed. And it was one of

222
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: those things.

223
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: Oh you okay, you're doubling down.

224
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. I mean my wife she was she

225
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: was surprised, just like me your boy. It's more of

226
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: like because I was telling even before, I felt like

227
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: I was separated enough from being pregnant, because I think

228
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: we're at like twelve weeks right now or thirteen weeks,

229
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: separated enough to be like, yo, if I get another

230
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: rule like I'm playing with house money, like I'd be satisfied.

231
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: I'd be solid, like do I actually want a boy?

232
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: YadA YadA. And it was when I saw that pink

233
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: to where I realized how badly I did want a boy,

234
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: and not that it's necessarily there's no chances for having

235
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: a boy, because they could obviously take that risk again,

236
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: but also it's like I didn't know if I wanted three, right,

237
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: and now that that pink came out, I'm gonna have

238
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: two girls. I almost am certain that we have to

239
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: go for three to go for the boy. So that

240
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: was part of my disappointment on my face too. It

241
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: was like, now we gotta go three, and I don't know.

242
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I was ready. I don't think I

243
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: wanted three, right. You know, everybody, once you're out numbered,

244
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: it's fucking it's warri.

245
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: You're playing Zone the whole time. Yeah, what you just

246
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 4: explained is how middle child syndrome develops. Everything you just said, like,

247
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: I don't know who this child, what this child's name

248
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: is gonna be, what her personality gonna be. Like, I'm

249
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: sure she's gonna be great if she's anything like real. Yeah, However,

250
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: when that third and probably boy comes out, that's why

251
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: they call the middle child that forgotten.

252
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Child, especially if she listens to this episode of her

253
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: old man.

254
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, just being literally sat there with my wife and

255
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 4: we were scrolling through your instagram Sunday night, and she goes,

256
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: if we have another girl, you can't you can't post that.

257
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: I was like, why, that's funny, Like funny is fun

258
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 4: That's what funny is. Yeah, She's like, but our daughter,

259
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: if it is a daughter, which, by the way, now

260
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: that will like women when they get their periods, that

261
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: they blue tooth sync up. We're always together, they do that. Yeah,

262
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 4: and they all get on the same period schedule. I

263
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: am a firm belief that men that hang out together

264
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: we also sink up. I'm doomed to.

265
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: Have another girl. We're on the same sperm cycle.

266
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: Yes, we're on the same sperm cycle. And you can

267
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: break the mold don't say that I'm trying to reverse

268
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: psychology of the universe, like, hey, there's no shot I'm

269
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 4: gonna have a boy, Am I right? You know?

270
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: But are you openly playing the joke in the game,

271
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: Because here's the I guess the only thing caution is

272
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: I felt like I was separate enough to where I

273
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not gonna be I wouldn't be too disappointed.

274
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: White girl's rip my wife. Oh, by the way, the

275
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: reason why Tylon said that is because eventually she's gonna

276
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 4: see that, she's gonna see that perace.

277
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: She's gonna be upset.

278
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: Anyway onward, I I've already told my wife I will

279
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: genuinely be disappointed if it's a girl. Genuinely I will.

280
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 4: And then I'll be happy because it's a girl, it's

281
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: a healthy baby. We can scratch off all those boxes

282
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 4: that all all people say when they're trying to be

283
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 4: politically correct about having a kid. We want a healthy baby,

284
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, that's all that matters. True, I want

285
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: a boy. I don't I feel like I need a boy.

286
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: I just want to feel with that God. I didn't

287
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: even punch at that time. I tipped it better that

288
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: I was making sure the mic worked. That wasn't even

289
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 4: that wasn't I wasn't even doing that. I just want

290
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: a boy.

291
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: Every competitive male wants a boy. They want an air

292
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: to the throne.

293
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 4: The thing that bothers me the most is watching you

294
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: and your process of you and char getting pregnant and

295
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 4: you stopping from the sauna only doing the cold like

296
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: reading the literature on how to have a boy, And

297
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 4: I'm like, he's really gonna pull it off to the

298
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: point where we're coming back after doing this podcast with

299
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, I'm thinking, there's no shot this man's gonna happen.

300
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 4: Because we had a full conversation about boy girl blah

301
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: b blah, this, that and the other, just having a

302
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: good convo, and I'm thinking of my head, no fucking show,

303
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: Will's having a girl like he's for sugar have a boy.

304
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: And in my selfish mind, I'm thinking that means I

305
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 4: gotta have it. I have a shot to have a boy,

306
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: so I break the mold in we gotta be bluetoo

307
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: sync up.

308
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: We're around he are way too much, but now you

309
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: have to break the mold.

310
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 6: Man.

311
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever it takes, bro, And I did

312
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: I stop songing for how many months? Like oh, last

313
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: year when I learned that it took forty five days,

314
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: Like if you expose yourself to heat, you can kill

315
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: off your sperm, and it takes forty five days for

316
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: it to just get back to baseline. Because there's a

317
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: part of me that's like, Okay, I won't hit the

318
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: sauna like a week out from ovulation, during ovulation, but

319
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: then I'll hit the sauna right after because then I'll

320
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: know I'll have another month or another few weeks. You know,

321
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to tap into the bio hacking. Yeah, get

322
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: your te levels.

323
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: Which makes you also believe that maybe bio hacking isn't real.

324
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bro, And then I do all those things, and

325
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm like months not hitting the sauna because I'm like

326
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: not heating the seed up, not hitting a hot tub right,

327
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: not staying in a hot shower too long, all those things,

328
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: And I'm just thinking, like, we gotta have a boy.

329
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: I know, I know, dude, but you know works.

330
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm excited for.

331
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: We need girl Dad's to unite. You're the one. I'm

332
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna need it. I'm gonna need you to write me

333
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: whether it's a mini book a big book. I'm gonna

334
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: need something about fathering two girls, what to look for,

335
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: what to watch out for. Hey, don't do this like me,

336
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: like be better than me. I'm gonna need this handbook

337
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: from you. And I need dads to unite because look,

338
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: being a girl dad rips. I think having having rue

339
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: and having a daughter. I'm like, oh, every guy, every

340
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: guy that is going to become a dad, I hope

341
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: we all get a girl, because having a girl is

342
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: the best. But now, knowing I'm outnumbered, waffles a girl

343
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: and my wife thankfully is a girl, and now I'm

344
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna have rue and you know she who has not

345
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: been named, and it's like I'm gonna be surrounded by

346
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: all this estrogen, and God bless you if you happen

347
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: to get a third. I hate putting that in the universe,

348
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: but that is where guys go silent. They get so outnumbered,

349
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: and that's how they just become these men. It's sit

350
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: in a corner all holidays.

351
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: And you can even call them men.

352
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. They just get snipped, bro, And you'll

353
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: probably get snipped, but you also get snipped. Your soul

354
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: gets snipped. You'll just be that quiet dad at parties,

355
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like, whatever happened to Taylor's he

356
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: had all those girls, Man, he can't his voice just

357
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: can't be heard at home. He's too They've they've led

358
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: him to believe it that he is too stupid to talk,

359
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: and now he's just like now you're scared to even

360
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: say a word at any of these parties because even

361
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: when we have fun and we're laughing, we're having a

362
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: good time, Like, man, it's good to see Taylor. Your

363
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: drive home is just gonna be like, so, you really

364
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: went ahead and said that about you'll win Willow or

365
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Willow speaks up, you really said that about so and so,

366
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: and you're just herd mentality. You just get put back

367
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: in the corner and it's scary, and I feel for

368
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: those girl dads out there. We need to unite, We

369
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: need to talk about these things.

370
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: Listen, don't ever do what you just did again, because

371
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: right now we're talking, you're talking about how excited you

372
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: are about a situation that I'm already in knowing that

373
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: there's hope down the road because you've aready decided your

374
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: head you're gonna have a three I'm already staring at

375
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 4: the barrel of a gun, having two little girls and

376
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 4: knowing that this is my last shot at happiness, and

377
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: you're gonna do that.

378
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, bro, I've just I've experience these dads that

379
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: I come to learn. I'm like, oh, these are some

380
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: good these are guys.

381
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: These are good men.

382
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: But you never know about it until it's like, oh, yeah,

383
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: he's a he's an outdoorsman. He goes hunting all the time.

384
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: He does this, he chops wood. And you're like, why

385
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: don't I ever see that guy? And it's like, well,

386
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: look at the environment. He's surrounded. He's been snipped from

387
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: the soul, and you got to bring it out of them.

388
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 4: I hate. Here's what we need to do.

389
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: If you do have a third, I will make it

390
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: my mission. Get snipped our souls, get snipped to stand strong,

391
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: to stand up.

392
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: Can I ask you this question, I'm really I gotta

393
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 4: pivot out of this. I gotta get out of here.

394
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: I know it's like, yeah, I'll make it about you

395
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: and half third.

396
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, congratulations, thank you, congratulations on you.

397
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: We are fired up. We are very fired up.

398
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: Allegedly, I do have to leave in a very like

399
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 4: a few seconds. Actually, should I wait when Taylor gets pregnant?

400
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 4: Should I wait until the baby comes out?

401
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: You did hit it, you did touch it. But what happened?

402
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:02,520

00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Sorry for raising better? I'm just better than the trenches.

414
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 4: thing about busting with the boys.

415
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 5: But the word a team you you know ahead of time,

416
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 5: you gotta know.

417
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: Okay, So I won to one. I want to hear

418
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 4: you last.

419
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Okay.

420
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 4: You have you waited ever before?

421
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 6: Have you done?

422
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 7: Twelve week mark? Both for winning Willow.

423
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: Twelve week mark both? The first time I actually found out,

424
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: I asked the doctor and I was like, Hey, is

425
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 4: this sex and my child on that sheet? And they

426
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 4: go yep, says girl here, So anyway what we're looking at?

427
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: And I was like, lived about that situation. The second one,

428
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: I wanted to wait. We get the card and I

429
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: know that it's in the envelope, and you know me,

430
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: you know I get I'm gonna stare this unopened card,

431
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 4: knowing this information there that I want. So to answer

432
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: your question, I have never waited for the delivery.

433
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 7: I think you wait solely because at twelve weeks mark,

434
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 7: it's a lot easier to be disappointed when you see

435
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 7: your child being born, rather regardless if it's a boy

436
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 7: or girl. I think the emotion will take over regardless.

437
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 7: You know you're not gonna be upset at birth, even

438
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 7: if it's a girl.

439
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong because having

440
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: two kids like having like having.

441
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 7: Your first kids.

442
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: I don't like having your first kid is like everything's

443
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 4: so new, everything's so new, you're experiencing so much. And

444
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: one's like it's magical blahll blah. Everyone's so excited to

445
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: hear the news. What's the kid, blah blah blah. The

446
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 4: second time you have a kid, your second kid, it's

447
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: not less special to you, but it's like more normal

448
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 4: as to everybody else. Oh they're having their second kid.

449
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 4: And then by the time you get to the third kid,

450
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 4: it's like, hey, congrats, I guess here's what to be

451
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: a number. It's more becomes a burden to other people

452
00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: around you say hey.

453
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 5: It's gonna be taught.

454
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't know.

455
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 6: I know.

456
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, like, the uh, the

457
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 4: excitement just Dad's talking. The excitement of that feels like

458
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 4: it goes away when you're watching from a bird's eye

459
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: view of how everybody that's talking.

460
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 7: I don't actually think you'd be able to wait though.

461
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 4: I don't think I wait, Jack, but I do.

462
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: We definitely appreciate that perspective because that's a real perspective

463
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: that that parents have. It's like, once it happens, it's

464
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: like that is the the beauty or the positivity or

465
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: the silver lining of doing something like that. My question

466
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: to you before I answer, would you rather take one

467
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: of the head or seven of the chest?

468
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: One of the head?

469
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: Then wait, because then you just take it right then

470
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: and there. And then if you take something, you know

471
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: you you do it. At twelve week mark, you're just

472
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: taking You're just taking them the chest. Yeah, you have

473
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: time to kind of wrap your head around and everything else.

474
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: But you won't have enough time. Why didn't you bring

475
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: the birth? I was excited to see the boy. I

476
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: was excited to see the blue. Great point. Maybe the

477
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: next time we will wait for you?

478
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: Wait? Do what for your thirty You're gonna wait? Maybe

479
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: maybe you guys make a pack to.

480
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: He even got two out yet for the third you

481
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 4: gonna wait?

482
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll make a pact. If I have a third,

483
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: I will wait as well.

484
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 4: But I'll wait too.

485
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to you basically have to decide. Oh,

486
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the shoe.

487
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 4: Here's the issue is like there's another person involved with

488
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 4: making the child that might have to find out.

489
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: Listen, I think women would are easily on board with that.

490
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 4: See talents against it. I've actually had this conversation with

491
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: her and she said, I want to get like the

492
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: nursery set up like that. She enjoys that the nesting

493
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 4: periods what they call it for the women that are pregnant,

494
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 4: like they love getting the room ready. And I told her,

495
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: I was like, if I wait, I'm not going to

496
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 4: that room. I don't want to see anything and I'll

497
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 4: have to essentially tailor will now know the information that

498
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: I will not know.

499
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Devil's advocate. Go ahead, because I feel like you

500
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: guys are both kind of this way. You guys usually

501
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: do like neutralish style colors. That's true, you got you.

502
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: You could easily shape up the same thing. You know

503
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, ex because the if ibe of

504
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,359

00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: Natural Yes yeah browns and yeah yeah earth earthy colors.

506
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: You could do something like that.

507
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: Earth.

508
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,399

514
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,960

515
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: to go. Smooth down, great for tail getting, great for

516
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: game day, full flavor, very refreshing. It's the perfect alcohol

517
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: beverage for game day. Keep it twisted with the Twisted

518
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,520

00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 6: I do, I do, I do.

523
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 8: This is one I've had in the bank for a

524
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 8: long time, and I feel like we've maybe have sort

525
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 8: of done something along the lines.

526
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 6: Would you rather listen to your least favorite song on repeat?

527
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 6: Or never listen to music ever again?

528
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 4: Never listen to it again. I have to go.

529
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: So the only song you do get to listen is

530
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: the worst song on repeat, your least favorite song. Just

531
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: that's the only song you get to listen to forever.

532
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 6: Yes, maybe, okay, maybe do your least favorite albu.

533
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: You understand how that's that's how that's a bad question.

534
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 6: Maybe Yeah, I do. I do. I'm getting defensive.

535
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: I know, I take it easy.

536
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: Here's what I need to do, Mitch. I need you

537
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: to take a couple of these lucy breakers. I need

538
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: you to lock in that question because that is insane.

539
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 4: That's wild. Love you right, you know we love you right.

540
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 4: Don't ever trust us? You need to you need to

541
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 4: figure out that twisted question. I love you, boys. I

542
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: gotta go, saving so great meeting you. Yes, you have

543
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: the pen you.

00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: Guys, go ahead and go, both of you, guys, go

545
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: and you can come back on just whatever, don't worry

00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: about Thank you brother, love you too. Man. Enjoy, Enjoy

00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: what's enjoy what's to come. It's gonna be all right, right,

548
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: guess yeah, it's gonna be dude, It's gonna be great.

549
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: I truly like at this point number one, I've already

550
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: accepted and embraced it. But being a girl dad, I

551
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm built for being a girl dad.

552
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 7: Think about it from the view of capitalism, we are

553
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 7: a girl dad pod and if you had a boy,

554
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 7: we would have to change some things, maybe sell some

555
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 7: more stuff. But right now, the brand is the brand.

556
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: You're right. However, I was excited to maybe do our

557
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: announcement by holding the boy mom hats because that's one

558
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: where we still got. By the way, everybody who's looking

559
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: for our boy mom merch, I believe that's going to

560
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: be restocked during a couple of weeks. But as far

561
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: as dads and girl dads uniting on this front, we

562
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: have all of our Father's Day merch. That line has dropped.

563
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: We have some Carhart hoodies which would go great for

564
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: your old man, especially come fall time when it's hunting

565
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: season or Father's Day. Yeah, get out, get aheads. As

566
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: far as golf polos golf gear hats. Different style of

567
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: hats were with the forty seven brand. Now I'm wearing

568
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: one as we speak. Theseq zips feel incredible. Proud girl. Dads,

569
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: we gotta unite and look, I know, like we talk disappointment.

570
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: We might be laughing and then like you know, your

571
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: wife or somebody. I'd be like, hey, what if the

572
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: daughter sees this. We're just on it. We're gonna say space,

573
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: having a good time on the bus. I'm being vulnerable

574
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: with the dads out there right now, with the audience

575
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: out there listening. I am very excited about having another daughter.

576
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: I am so curious, which I feel like every parent

577
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: thinks about, is what they're gonna look like? Are they

578
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: going to be similar?

579
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 6: Rue?

580
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: Is she gonna come out? She's gonna have dark hair

581
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: like I. We're stoked for that. It is awesome. And

582
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: charle my wife she was. She was just as surprised

583
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: as the boy, more in like a laughing way, like

584
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: looking at my reaction and everything like that. But throughout

585
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: the entire day I had to go get I had

586
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: to tell my wife like, hey, can you put rude down?

587
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: I need to go work out. I had to go

588
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: to boost get some work in. I ran two miles

589
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I was like, I gotta continue to sweat,

590
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: and it's just like I had to work it imy.

591
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: But every time we'd be driving, she's like, she'd be like, babe,

592
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: it feels any any better to you? Like there was

593
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: zero part of me that thought we were gonna have

594
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: a girl like I've been. She was ready to like

595
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: be a boy mom. It just felt like the stars

596
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: were relying before we cut the cake, got the cake out,

597
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: and Rue she had she had all the opposite symptoms

598
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: from the first one. So like a mother's tale that

599
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of tells you that it could be a boy

600
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: or a different gender because you're not experiencing the same symptoms,

601
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: like as far as sickness and everything else. And Rue

602
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: was saying brother, Moore, Ru was saying boy. More so

603
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: you're kind of like leaning into some of those. Uh

604
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: it'd be like, hey, wuld you dream about last night?

605
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: Like when we wake her up, she would even say

606
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: like brother and stuff like that. So there was just

607
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: a weird and again I felt like I had that

608
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: separation to where I wasn't going to care like I

609
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: thought I was going to as far as like, oh man,

610
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to have three now type of thing

611
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: or go for three. God willing that it would they

612
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: God would give me a boy, give me an air.

613
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: But also when I was getting out the cake to

614
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: cut it and do the do our little thing together,

615
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: there was a Rue's blue sippy cup was sitting out.

616
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: She was she was on her green her dark green pass. Ye.

617
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I just felt like I'm about to see blue here boys,

618
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: like we're really about to have a boy. I'm gonna

619
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: have to wrap my head around now becoming a boy

620
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: dad in those fears of like, okay, I know how

621
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: I've been with Rue. I hope I can stay in

622
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: this same empathetic wrapped around the finger and not be

623
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: too hard on the the little pup. Like all dads

624
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: I feel like getting nervous about with raising their son.

625
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: And then when it was pink bro it just you

626
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: saw the reaction. You, Mitch can put up the photos

627
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: and stuff, but it was a shock. It was a shock.

628
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: But we we are very excited. I mean it's still

629
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: fairly early. We've gotten out of the first trimester. Knock

630
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: on wood, that everything still goes well according to plan

631
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: and everything else, and that we do have a healthy,

632
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: a healthy child because it'll be sick. Like Rue will

633
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: have a best friend forever. I mean you get to

634
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: see Winn and Willow play with each other now that now,

635
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: because kids don't really like playing with each other until

636
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: they're like three, but now the Willow's three going on four,

637
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: and you see how she interacts with Win and how

638
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: Winn interacts with her like and you hear Taylor talk

639
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: about and Tailor and talk about it. Very fired up

640
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: to Rue to have like a best friend because we

641
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: have neighbors who have a two and three year old

642
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: and anytime they're outside playing, like you see Ruth standing

643
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: there like wanting to go over and hang out, and

644
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: you just see the dynamic between the brother and sister

645
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: just playing with each other. And they always got each

646
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: other to where, you know, babysitters you kind of got

647
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: like Rue kind of goes to her thing. If it's

648
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: a new babysitter, we get really sad because we feel

649
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: like she's she thinks we're leaving her forever with this person.

650
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: Now with this new one coming in and ruill be

651
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: able to teach her or be around her and she

652
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: just have a playmate. Dude, it's gonna be sick and awesome,

653
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: so to so to say a lot of positive things

654
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: about this, because I don't want to make it a joke,

655
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: and like, I'm disappointed the entire time for the wives

656
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: out there or the girlfriends stop making their boys listen

657
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: to the podcast. But it's gonna be awesome, man. A

00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: have some some differences in our show that we had

675
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: the first time where we had Ernest and Jelly on.

676
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,400

677
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,400

678
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,360

679
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: we will be at Zanie's Comedy Club on June twelfth.

680
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: I've already talked about our Father's Day merch Our Father's

681
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Day line is out. Buy that up, you know, so

682
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: that way it gets here in time before Father's Day.

683
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: What else do we have? Man?

684
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 7: I know Kurk speaking about positivity.

685
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Do you see this news? Nebraska night game Colorado at

686
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: Nebraska is a night game six thirty pm Central Time

687
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: on NBC. Look, everybody knows that I'm excited about Husker football.

688
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that I think we're gonna have a big year.

689
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a prizingly big year that

690
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: falls in line with the expectation of Nebraska but surprises

691
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: everybody else. I think the boys are cooking up something special.

692
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: We just landed this four star quarterback over the weekend,

693
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: which again just speaks to number one. I'm thinking to myself, like, oh,

694
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: it's sick that they had this kid commit. When you

695
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: have a five star and a four star that just

696
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: committed in the last recruiting class in Nebraska, it just

697
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: kind of shows the culture and everything that they're building

698
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: over there. We hope that it's like stuff like this

699
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: and the trickle down effect to where you have, say,

700
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: this kid go is on campus with everybody else. You

701
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: have a quarterback room with a couple four stars, a

702
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: five star. It's just going to bring the talent. The

703
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: talent to Nebraska kids like wide receivers, running backs, o lineman,

704
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: defensive You're gonna want to start committing now to go

705
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: play with these guys to build some special because again,

706
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: and I love with this kid said I read his article.

707
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: He felt like a priority in Nebraska. He loved the

708
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: way that obviously they mad him feel. Everybody feels good

709
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: on their recruiting visits, but he wanted to be part

710
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: of something spec Actually, he didn't want to go just

711
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: to a great team that was already established, because again

712
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: it's like that pitch to Royola when I got to

713
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: talk to him, you know, obnoxiously after he was already

714
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: on campus. But it's like, Yo, you win at Nebraska,

715
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: it's forever, especially at the hell we've been through for

716
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: the last decade. And I will not take up a

717
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: lot of your time talking to you about Nebraska football

718
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: because I know you guys have heard it. It's just

719
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: we're being a dead horse. Both we're building something, boys,

720
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: but night game Colorado out Nebraska, we are fucking going boys.

721
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: We're going to that game. And I was thinking about

722
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: it over the weekend, not not that it was, you know,

723
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: because the night game wasn't announced yet, but I'll think

724
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: of with Nebraska, like we got to do it right again.

725
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: And you guys know what I'm talking about. Hey, you

726
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: guys know what I'm talking about doing it right?

727
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 6: Well?

728
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: Was Mitch with us? Wait? Yes, no, he said when

729
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: we went to Barry's. Now when we went last year

730
00:31:53,480 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: for the flying out there, flying back, doing it right,

731
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: doing it right. But I won't get into a whole lot. Oh,

736
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of numbers on social. I don't know why

00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 7: free shadowt goes to when you rediscover a pair of shoes.

797
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 7: It could be really any kind of clothing item. But

798
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 7: for me, it was a pair of shoes that have

799
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 7: like maybe been hiding underneath your bed or in a closet.

800
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,959
Speaker 7: But when you rediscover a pair of you haven't worn

803
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 7: it's like buying a new pair, but with none of

804
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 7: the costs. So you just rediscover whether it's an old

805
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 7: pair of shoes or an old sweatshirt, or maybe it's

806

00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520

00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: one of those things where I just thought it was

927
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: going to be, Hey, I got this guy, good investment.

928
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: It's like a great guy to get to know. You

929
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: trust Kirk's so you're like okay, Ken flies out and

930
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: basically does like a three day seminar on leadership with

931
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: me and really is studying me, It's like, do I

932
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: even want to work with this guy because he has

933
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: a phrase he doesn't want to work with dysfunctional ass clowns.

934
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: And I say all that to say, like sitting on

935
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: this pod with Kirk and having the conversation with Kirk

936
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: and just the role model that he is, the leader

937
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: that he is, you just it reminded me why he

938
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: was somebody I wanted to gravitate towards like at Washington

939
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: and seek out these mentors that he does had because

940
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: I have such a trust in him about what he's

941
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: about as a as a father, as a man, and

942
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: all of it. Dude as a teammate. And so that

943
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: is my shout out. No fore shutout when you get

944
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: reminded why your boys are your boys, Because life happens.

945
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: You're in different spots. You know, in a couple of

946
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: weeks when we have our tier talk, we're talking about

947
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: our favorite teammates. I'm kind of talking through some through

948
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: some guys that you know, I don't talk to a

949
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: whole lot anymore, but I got to sit there and

950
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: talk about what they meant to me at that point

951
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: in time. And you just know when you come back

952
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: and meet them or meet up with them at some

953
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: point in time, whether you're able to make it happen

954
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: or not. You break bread, you have conversations, and you

955
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: leave the trip. The boy's trip just reminded why you

956
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: have such a core group that you do. Kirk is

957
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: one of those guys, and so my shout out, no

958
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: free shoutout goes to, yeah, getting that reminder of why

959
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: you know why you're boys with your friends from long

960
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: ago in the first place, because again, life happens, it

961
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: gets away from you. You kinda not forget, but again

962
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: that sitting down with him, and it's just like, Yo,

963
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: he's a he's a he's such a good fucking dude,

964
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: and he's he's himself like corny whatever it is, he

965
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: owns it. It's amazing, and you guys are really gonna

966
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: like this episode. We talk in depth about draft night

967
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: when they drafted Penix, how those conversations happened. Kirks are

968
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: very stoic and control what you can control, like, let's

969
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: live in reality, not in this and even asking him, hey,

970
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: before you could control what you can control, what was

971
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: the thought that ran through your head when that conversation,

972
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: when that phone call came to you when Penix got drafted.

973
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: Talk about coach Roheen Morris, the Atlanta Falcons, what led

974
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: him to go to Atlanta and pick Atlanta over the

975
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: other suitors that wanted him a quarterback. The ups and

976
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: downs with the Achilles. You know, you kind of get

977
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: there's like this humanized element to where you're chasing this

978
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: championship in Minnesota. You have all these weapons and then

979
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: in your contract year you go down with an injury

980
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: like an Achilles. Being older watching on Sundays and you're

981
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: not part of it anymore. You're kind of the guy

982
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: on the outskirts. He had incredible a thought process that

983
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: went into kind of galvanizing the group that was on.

984
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: I are or wasn't getting to play anymore, those guys

985

1034
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: I find myself like having these cravings for pizza.

1035
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: Do you watch them through?

1036
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 2: I usually watched like when they're edited down to like quick. Yeah,

1037
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: because you know the world we live in today, everything's fast.

1038
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 2: But he's pretty good. But uh but yeah, unfortunately he's

1039
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 2: making me always be thinking about pizza now, which isn't

1040
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 2: good for them.

1041
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: What are your top three fast food spots?

1042
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 4: This is a good topic.

1043
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 2: So well, let's just you know, recently moved to Atlanta.

1044
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: So there's some like southeast part of the country food

1045
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: spots that like if you're from the Midwest like I am,

1046
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: or from out west, you don't even know about. So

1047
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: like bow Jangles, the bowberry biscuit is on believable, it's fire.

1048
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: Then the cookout we had it, and when we were

1049
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: in d see, they like started to work their way north.

1050
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 2: But they're from like Carolina and you get them in

1051
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: Atlanta too, and and it's typical like get your burger,

1052
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: but then instead of getting like a side of fries,

1053
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: you get two sides, so you can get like a burger,

1054
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 2: a side of fries and then a side of nuggets,

1055
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 2: and then a drink and shake probably and then they

1056
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: have like a fifty plus flavors shake those two and.

1057
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 4: Choices.

1058
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: I usually go like mindship, but uh uh, those two

1059
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: in the Southeast. That was something where it's like, oh,

1060
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: I normally don't get to have a bowlberry biscuit. Yeah,

1061
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 2: two sides in my fast food. But yeah, I don't

1062
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: discriminate among.

1063
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: Fast what you're what you're there's you left out a third.

1064
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: I mean, Chick fil A is phenomenal, but I just

1065
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: don't like Culver's being from the Midwest. Culvers butter Burgers

Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean I get down with your birthday

1079
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,479
Speaker 1: confetti cake ice cream BIRTHAIX. But you did say, oh, yeah,

1080
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: he just likes vanilla with sprinkles on it.

1081
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 4: No, vanilla with caramel and sprinkles, And I think sprinkles

1082
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 4: is a good added texture to your ice cream. There's

1083
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 4: nothing sprinkles.

1084
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: A big part of taste is texture. I learned that

1085
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 2: in high school biology, culinary class. Biology, yep, and then

1086
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: uh yeah, it's a little basic vanilla sprinkles. That's like

1087
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: what my five year olds on orders. No question he'll

1088
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: graduate beyond that someday. But I never did.

1089
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: I never did know. And things have going okay for me.

1090
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 4: So I'm a boy. I'm doing I'm doing just fine.

1091
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: Boy.

1092
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 4: I do enjoy I do enjoy vanilla ice cream with

1093
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 4: caramel and sprinkles. But you can't beat it. Ice Cream

1094
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 4: is the one thing for me.

1095
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: As for as far as food, that's the rest of

1096
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: my family.

1097
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 4: If it's in the house, I can't say no.

1098
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm an ice cream guy, like my my growing.

1099
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: Up to do it.

1100
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 2: If you're gonna, you're gonna, like hold my hand to

1101
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 2: the fire to go get ice cream, we'll get some

1102
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: then ship. But I don't need it. And that's probably

1103
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,959
Speaker 2: one of the few things that I can watch someone

1104
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: else eat and I'm not tempted to jump in. But

1105
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 2: if you get a pizza and like, I'm just eight. Yeah,

1106
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm a slice.

1107
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: You figure out enough room in your b.

1108
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: I'll find a way, yeah, rationalized.

1109
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: Colt. And I would just be ravaging the ice cream

1110
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: bar before like nights before games.

1111
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: That doesn't that doesn't do it for me. You have

1112
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 2: the ice cream, I will say. And I don't know

1113
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 2: if listeners know about the fact that when we eat

1114
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 2: as a team. I've played on three teams and even

1115
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 2: going back to college for some reason. You know, we

1116
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: have the registered dietitian, you know, eat healthy. Let's get

1117
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 2: our collegen protein. They got me all week long, right,

1118
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 2: They're diligent on you know, you need your beat Root

1119
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 2: juice to make sure you handle elevation in Denver. And

1120
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: then sure enough, like clockwork, nine pm meetings. Then night

1121
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: before the game at the hotel, ice cream comes out,

1122
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 2: the cookies come out, so pizza comes out, and I'm.

1123
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: Like, what are we doing?

1124
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 4: What are we doing?

1125
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: But I brought it up one time. I was like,

1126
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: you know, night before a game, maybe that's not the

1127
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 2: best time to just like binge and let it all go.

1128
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: Like maybe that's the worst time, arguably, And I had

1129
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 2: a strength coach. You said I was in Chicago. We

1130
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 2: brought this up and we did it. We said it's gone,

1131
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: and he said there was a riot, Like it wasn't

1132
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: He said it wasn't worth the blowback, Like we try.

1133
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: We tried to remove it, and we saw what happens

1134
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: when you don't give the guys their outlet, like the

1135
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: stress of the season and that outlet for coaches and

1136
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: for players the night before the game, when you took

1137
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 2: that away, that like it wasn't worth it. So it

1138
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: was back the next week.

1139
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: It would always blew me away, like the night thing

1140
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 4: is every team. Yeah, but there's always a way to

1141
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 4: be like, OK, fight this now, I'll sleep it off.

1142
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 4: All the ball be fun in the morning. It blew

1143
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 4: me away when breakfast hits and there's the waffle make

1144
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 4: he and guys got loads of whipped cream on it. Yeah,

1145
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 4: it's like a noon game. We played at seven thirty.

1146
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 2: Played Chicago one year. Coach Callahan, Bill Callen our online

1147
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 2: coaches from Chicago. So he's big on deep dish Chicago

1148
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: style pizza. And we go, you know, stay downtown and

1149
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 2: Coach Callen's oxide he goes, I'm gonna go get the lineman,

1150
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: you know, Giordonald's, so he had an ordered the hotel

1151
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: playing dish. So the lineman just pigged out Saturday night

1152
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 2: on gior Donald's and I'll never forget. Get on the

1153
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 2: bus after the game we won, and Morgan Moses run

1154
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 2: on the bus to back to the hair report, and

1155
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 2: Morgan goes, I'm not gonna lie, like I was feeling

1156
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 2: that pizza the whole game.

1157
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like this is so funny how we

1158
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: do it to ourselves, I know, but I always chalked

1159
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: it up like I had a good fourth preseason game

1160
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I had ice cream

1161
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: with Carmel Eminem's in it candy, and I had a

1162
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: good game to where when I was feeling advice, which

1163
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: is often, I was like, well, it's kind of like

1164
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: my good luck charm. Yeah, to you know, have a

1165
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 1: little have a little trick.

1166
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 4: That's the worst part about superstition, I know, because sometimes

1167
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 4: you'll accidentally do something you'll play really well, like what

1168
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 4: did I do differently?

1169
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: Yea?

1170
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 4: In the routine, it's always something that's not good that

1171
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 4: it's easy too. Yeah.

1172
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 2: So at Michigan State, our routine night before games was

1173
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 2: a movie coach Dan Tukiy from Coast Antonio. He wanted

1174
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: a movie, and I realized after a while that the

1175
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: reason we watch a movie, it was nothing to do

1176
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: with football. It wasn't like we wrotching Rudy like we

1177
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 2: were watching like, you know, just something whatever whatever he

1178
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: wanted to watch, I guess or whatever the team voted on,

1179
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 2: the captains voted on. So we watched the movie and

1180
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 2: I realized it was for coch Antonio. It was just

1181
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: like the two hours of the week where no one

1182
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: bothered him, where he was like able to just like

1183
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: catch his breath and feel like he was doing something

1184
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 2: with the team, but really he was just watching a movie.

1185
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 2: So it was the movie was a big deal to him, like, yeah,

1186
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 2: what's the movie tonight? What are we watching? Because he

1187
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: like he needed that break. And I feel like that's

1188
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 2: the ice cream.

1189
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: And you keep guy, and you also keep the team.

1190
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: You keep guys like you know, doing anything else, correct,

1191
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: You keep everybody in the building. We know for the two

1192
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: hours we're together, then we'll go to the hotel after.

1193
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: I know you guys won't get in any trouble.

1194
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean I haven't gone to the ice cream bar yet.

1195
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: With the Falcons, but I'm very confident that night before

1196
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 2: the first preseason game, our meetings are going to end,

1197
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: We're going to head to the lunch to the snack room,

1198
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: and it is going to be look.

1199
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 4: Exactly, it's going to be bad pizza and then there's

1200
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 4: tons of ice creams just sitting out waiting for everybody.

1201
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: Do you have any superstitions I have.

1202
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 2: I always say it's a routine, and there's as it's

1203
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: a fine line between routine and superstition. So it's like

1204
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 2: I want to, you know, go out for warmos at

1205
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 2: the same time, I want to make sure I go

1206
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 2: through the same warm up. I want to usually get

1207
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 2: on the same bus. There's a lot of things like

1208
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 2: I do that. It's more that I just have a

1209
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: routine and I like to be able to turn my

1210
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: brain off, so like to be able to just not

1211
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: have to think about things. So it's like, oh, I

1212
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: don't have to make I don't want any energy towards decisions.

1213
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: So I want to make a decision on which bus

1214
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 2: to get on or where to sit, or I just

1215
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 2: want to know this is what I do, this is

1216
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 2: how I do it, so that all my energy is

1217
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: towards the game and not towards decisions. So it looks

1218
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: like superstition, but really it's really just just routine.

1219
00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: Has it ever been thrown off? And it kind of

1220
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: just put you in a frenzy?

1221
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny, is I have to remind myself kind

1222
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: of like you did that. I do get thrown off.

1223
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: I get I get really a aggie before games, like

1224
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: if you you know, say something wrong, to do something wrong,

1225
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 2: to be like come on man, like yeah, lock it.

1226
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 2: But after the game, if to remind myself on the

1227
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: bus going to the airport, like, Okay, it wasn't perfect.

1228
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: We played fine, we did well, we won, Like you

1229
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 2: gotta you have to be resilient because you're gonna have

1230
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 2: those games where it's a thirty millionn hour wind and

1231
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 2: it's snowing, or it's you know, your leg doesn't feel right,

1232
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: and like, if you need everything to be perfect, you're

1233
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 2: gonna be a head case. So you have to remind

1234
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: yourself when things weren't perfect and you played well, because

1235
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: then it gives you confidence the next time when things

1236
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 2: aren't lined up.

1237
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: Well, do you remember I felt like you had a year.

1238
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if it only lasted a year, or

1239
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: if it's still something you do, but you had I

1240
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: believe every fifteen minutes.

1241
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, journaled out. Yeah, so that's fun, out of control.

1242
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: But here's what happened. Here's the original deal. So your

1243
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 2: second year twenty fourteen. I got thrown in win griff

1244
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 2: dislocated his ankle, and I had some good moments, like

1245
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: I showed flashes of like, hey, this guy's got potential,

1246
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 2: But then I threw a lot of picks and I

1247
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: was lost. I was still figuring it out and how

1248
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 2: to do it. But part of the problem I felt

1249
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 2: was I did not have routine. I didn't know where

1250
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 2: I needed to be when. I didn't know how long

1251
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: to stay after practice to make sure I was ready.

1252
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 2: So I went into games. I didn't feel ready because

1253
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know what ready should feel like. So my

1254
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 2: wife noticed it. We were first year of marriage, and

1255
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 2: you know, I'd always felt like my wife is like

1256
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: a great sounding board to bounce things off of, or

1257
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 2: if she says, hey, you should call this person or

1258
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 2: do that. I used to blow it off. Now I

1259
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: just do it because I'm like, she's right, I need

1260
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 2: to do that, even if I don't feel like it.

1261
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 2: So after that, going into twenty fifteen, that year that

1262
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: I started the whole season, and she said to me

1263
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: that last year didn't work. So she's like, you gotta

1264
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what you gotta do. We gotta figure

1265
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: this out. So that was when I was like, all right,

1266
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 2: let's sit down Julie and I. Let's talk through the week,

1267
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 2: Like what should it look like. I should go to

1268
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 2: work at this time on Monday, come back about this time,

1269
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 2: go see this body work person here. Tuesday, I'm gonna

1270
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 2: take off Wednesday. I'll be at the building till this time.

1271
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: So I just scheduled it out more so for me

1272
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: and Julie to like have our plan of what life

1273
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 2: should look like. And we played really well and I

1274
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 2: felt that peace. Like I would go home on Wednesday

1275
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: at six thirty at night and I'd be like, I'm good,

1276
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: I got my work done. I plan this out. I

1277
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 2: said in August, like at Wednesday at six thirty, I

1278
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: should have my work done for the day. So at

1279
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 2: six forty five, I don't need to be driving home

1280
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: feeling like I should still be at work. So it's

1281
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 2: almost like it gave me like a piece yeah to

1282
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 2: be like when I'm off, I'm off, I don't need

1283
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 2: to still have my mind be at work. That was

1284
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: why I did it. Yeah, and then we played well

1285
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 2: and I realized like, okay, this routine works, Like I'm

1286
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 2: just gonna keep plugging away at this and so I

1287
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: to this day kind of keep that same routine of

1288
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: tuesdays off, you know, Wednesday, I show up at this time,

1289
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: do this, and I kind of now I don't need to,

1290
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: you know, in a spreadsheet, but I did when I

1291
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 2: didn't have a plan for it.

1292
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you still have to do you still have

1293
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:41,959
Speaker 1: a spreadsheet?

1294
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 2: You have to have Probably I could probably go back

1295
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 2: and find it, you know somewhere it's probably is saved.

1296
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 2: But it was just in the spreadsheet cells every fifteen

1297
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 2: minutes I was able to fit it where the spreadsheet

1298
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: sells or every fifteen minutes fit on one page. So

1299
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: I was like, there we go.

1300
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's Kirk Cousins bro.

1301
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 4: I know I've heard this story before.

1302
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 2: I'm a planner like that. But once I for me, like,

1303
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 2: once I have it locked in, then I'm I'm like

1304
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 2: at peace, no decision, And that's what really helped me.

1305
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 4: That's how most billionaires are really Yeah, they have all

1306
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 4: their clothesline billion Yeah.

1307
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 5: I have heard that.

1308
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 2: I have heard that, like Mark Zuckerberg, part of the

1309
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 2: reason he wore the hoodie every day is he didn't

1310
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 2: want to think about what he wore. So if he

1311
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 2: just wore the same thing every day, he can spend

1312
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: his time and energy thinking about Facebook.

1313
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1314
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 2: Throw it.

1315
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the brain is only capable of making so

1316
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 4: many decisions.

1317
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of that, and I don't think

1318
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 2: I have capability to handle a bunch of things at

1319
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 2: one time. So I try to just say, all right,

1320
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 2: all that stuff I'm not thinking about, and I can

1321
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 2: focus on what I need to focus on.

1322
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: Can you miss with Can you deal with this stuff?

1323
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Ken runs my life. That's why I will

1324
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 2: mention the guy Ken.

1325
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: But the suit Yeah, can't, can't. Philippine shout out the

1326
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: boy can. He is the best. We interrupt this episode

1327
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: to bring you sport Clips. Your hair may grow fast,

1328
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: but after going to sport Clips haircuts, you wish it

1329
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: grew even faster. And that's because sport Clips has the

Speaker 1: best seats in hair. And that may or may not

1331
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: be because they happen to be right in front of

00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: TV's playing sports all day long, each and every day.

1333
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: And we know that watching sports while getting a haircut

1334
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 1: sure beats watching your reflection getting your haircut, or even

1335
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: listen to your barber that you might not want to

1336
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: hear about that day, just chirp in your ear and

00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: talk to you about his life problems all the time,

1338
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: which is why at sport Clips, every day is clippers

1339
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: and curveballs, high tops and hell Mary's. And at sport

1341
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: hair and totally check out with pure uninterrupted relaxation. So

1342
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,919
Speaker 1: come watch an endless stream of sports on TV while

1343
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: getting an awesome haircut sport Clips. It is a game changer.

1344
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 4: When your routine is so dialed in like that and

1345
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 4: you go and do a show like Quarterback, Yeah, did

1346
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 4: that mess with your routine?

1347
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 2: And great question, It didn't. On the bye week. It

1348
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 2: was something where it's like, man, I'm used to just

1349
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: doing whatever I want in the bye week. Now I

1350
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 2: got to give a day to do that. I did

1351
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 2: put off At times I'd say, hey, let's film this

1352
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the season. When the season's over,

1353
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 2: we can go back and circle back on this stuff.

1354
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 2: So I tried to when I could push it off.

1355
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 2: But then yeah, there were times where you're like, I

1356
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 2: would love to not have to do this right now,

1357
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 2: but it was a part of what we agreed to,

1358
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 2: and I knew the end game would be worth it,

1359
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: and it helped. We had a great season. We were winning,

1360
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: but I felt like it didn't it didn't interrupt my

1361
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 2: routine as much as it was just filming what I

1362
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 2: was already going to be doing.

1363
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: Right so I feel like a burden every now and then.

1364
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: I think there was a scene where I think you're

1365
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: sitting by the fire and you're upset about a little

1366
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: maybe a burn market you're.

1367
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was the deal. Like we won the games.

1368
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 2: That helped, but they were scheduled to be at the

1369
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: house whether we won or lost, because they came into

1370
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 2: town to film. They were going to capture that content,

1371
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: and so I was like, well, really help if we

1372
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: won in terms of hanging out at the house afterwards.

1373
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 2: We won, and then yeah, You're like, I would prefer

1374
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 2: to just be hanging out with my family, but if

1375
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 2: I have to hang out with my family with the cameras,

1376
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 2: then so be it. Yeah, but I try to just

1377
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 2: make it like, hey, we're just hanging out. Let's not

1378
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 2: let the fact that their cameras are on interfere with

1379
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 2: what we would normally be doing.

1380
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Were you pretty happy with with doing the quarterback I

1381
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: feel like you came out pretty well.

1382
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it helped. First of all, it helped to win.

1383
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I knew if you have a good it's

1384
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 2: a different than if you were struggling. So I stayed healthy.

1385
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: We won, which was great. I think it was really

1386
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 2: important that you come across as who you are. So

1387
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: when I got a text from a teammate who played

1388
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 2: for the Bengals and wasn't with me that season, but

1389
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 2: he had played with me for three seasons prior. He

1390
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: texted me watched the show. I told my fellow quarterbacks,

1391
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: that's who you are. Like, what you see in the

1392
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: show is what Kirk was for three years. I was like, see,

1393
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 2: that was the goal, is that the show wouldn't be

1394
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 2: somebody different. And Sean McVay same thing. He texted me like,

1395
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 2: he just watched the show. It's the same guy I

1396
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: remember from twenty sixteen. And I'm like, see, that's what

1397
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 2: you want the show to be. It would be shame

1398
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: on me if people were like, yeah, that's not really Curt. Yeah,

1399
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 2: you pull one over on people. But thankfully, I think

1400
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 2: the show is pretty accurate.

1401
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 4: Were you surprised at how well received you were, because

1402
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 4: if you look at the two quarterbacks in it, I

1403
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: mean you definitely as far as like leveling up as

1404
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 4: far as people been like, yo, Kirk Cousins is actually

1405
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 4: the man. This dude's awesome. Like you truly won the

1406
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 4: popularity contest of those three guys.

1407
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 2: You know, there's a conversation there to be had of like, uh, yeah,

1408
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: there's probably some narratives that maybe weren't as true. They

1409
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 2: were a little lazy narratives that the show probably helped

1410
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 2: the spell a little bit. But even teammates now with

1411
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: the Falcons, they said one of them said, we watched

1412
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 2: the show and I remember thinking, this guy's a lot

1413
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 2: tougher than I would have thought, and I never think

1414
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 2: it like nice to hear, yeah, like great to hear,

1415
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 2: but like the previous seven years, like I don't love

1416
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 2: that you saw me as as it was, So that

1417
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 2: was a little tough to hear at the same time,

1418
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: but I was like, boy, I kind of did the

1419
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 2: show otherwise.

1420
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: You thought it was the whole time.

1421
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't have.

1422
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 2: I always say with the Julia about my boys. I'm like,

1423
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: we're raising two boys. I don't care if they're good

1424
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 2: at sports. I don't care if they're good at school.

1425
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't care. They better be gritty. Yeah, Like if

1426
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: my boys are solved, like I got a problem. So

1427
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 2: I always say, like, I just got to make sure

1428
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 2: when they're walking across the high school graduation stage that

1429
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: I know my boys have grit and if they have that,

1430
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: everything else is gravy.

1431
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 1: Dude, that's actually a great topic. I mean, you being

1432
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: as successful of you as you've been in the league,

1433
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: the amount of money that you've a master for your family,

1434
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: generational type wealth. When you think about being a father

1435
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: and raising your two boys and wanting them to be

1436
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: gritty and growing up in a world, growing up in

1437
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: an environment that's you know that on the outside it

1438
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: seems much softer, seems much easier than most of the country.

1439
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Like what you as a parent, as a father, what

1440
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: are the things you do that instills grit or that

1441
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: you want to come off as with your boys.

1442
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: I think, first of all, when they're good at something,

1443
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to tell them, well, you're really good

1444
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 2: at that, you're really talented at that. I want to

1445
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 2: say to them, I love how hard you worked at that,

1446
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 2: because I want the feedback to be that you didn't

1447
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 2: just show up and you know, when swung that baseball

1448
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: bat or played that piano, you didn't just show up

1449
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 2: and do it, even though maybe you did. You you're talented.

1450
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 2: I want them to think I did it well because

1451
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,919
Speaker 2: I worked at it. So it's almost like a psychologist,

1452
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 2: like a psychological thing of making sure they know that

1453
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: they have something because they worked for it, as opposed

1454
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 2: to they could just show.

1455
01:01:58,600 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 4: Up and have it.

1456
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 2: So entitlement, you know, it's something I can't stand. It's

1457
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: I got to make sure my boys aren't entitled. But

1458
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: I said to my wife, I said, you know, growing up,

1459
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 2: I always knew that whatever I do, like I got

1460
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 2: to make my way in life, my boys will know.

1461
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 2: And I don't have an answer for this. They will

1462
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: know that at the end of the day, no matter

1463
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 2: what happens, they do have a parachute, like they do

1464
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 2: have a soft landing that's sort of cooked into the system,

1465
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 2: and that there's no way to like trick them into

1466
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 2: thinking they don't. So that'll be the key, is that

1467
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 2: they that their their motivation comes intrinsically, because extrinsically there

1468
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 2: will be like a built in mechanism for them to

1469
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 2: you know, fall back on. Because I love them that

1470
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 2: I want that for them, but intrinsically I need them

1471
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 2: to not act like that.

1472
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1473
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always a work in progress. Yeah, what is

1474
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: it the family that's like, oh, they're not going to

1475
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: get nothing? There is it? Is it? Bill Gates?

1476
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 4: Oh, one of those billionaire guys just came out and

1477
01:02:58,680 --> 01:02:59,919
Speaker 4: said as well.

1478
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 2: Right, Shack had a great line. Shaq said, Uh, I

1479
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 2: tell my kids, you guys aren't rich. I'm rich, you're

1480
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 2: not rich. Yeah, and I laughed. So yeah, I don't know.

1481
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 2: We'll see how it all plays. My boys are six

1482
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 2: and five. So that's to talk like I know what

1483
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm doing. I'm still figuring it out every day. But

1484
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: it's a topic I'm passionate about, and I read books

1485
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 2: on it, you know, to try to do it right

1486
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 2: and and we'll see how it all turns out.

1487
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: There are a couple you recommend.

1488
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 2: It's a great question. I was actually true at Kathy,

1489
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 2: the guy who found a Chick fil A wrote a

1490
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 2: book called Wealth Is It Worth It? And that was

1491
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 2: pretty good. There's a couple of there's he's written specifically

1492
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 2: about raising boys, raising kids. There's a book called Preparing Airs.

1493
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm a planner, so like I try to,

1494
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 2: you know, go out and learn and read and there's

1495
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 2: a lot out there about that topic.

1496
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 4: When you're at the quarterback then and you're showing your

1497
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 4: family and your wife's dressing you and the coals and

1498
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 4: all that, and you just see, you see how like

1499
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 4: humble you are as a cat, because will's are I'm

1500
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 4: telling like, how much money you've been able to make

1501
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 4: doing something you absolutely love. Has ever been a time

1502
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 4: where you're like I should go buy this one thing

1503
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 4: I should want to do at question because it is like, dude,

1504
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 4: you've crushed it.

1505
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 2: I'll never forget my rookie year. You know Rex Grossman,

1506
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: he was on a team, great guy. I was lucky

1507
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 2: to get to play with him for two years and

1508
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 2: my rookie year. He leaned over to me like it

1509
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 2: was during a walkthrough, I think, and he asked me

1510
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 2: a question like is there anything you know? You're a pro.

1511
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 2: Now you got a signing bonus check. Is there anything

1512
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 2: that you want? And I looked at him and I said,

1513
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 2: a man, I've always wanted a sports car. I was like,

1514
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 2: I would love a Corvette, but I was like, I

1515
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 2: don't think I'm gonna buy it. And he he'll never forget.

1516
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 2: He looked at me and he goes, you should scratch

1517
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 2: that itch.

1518
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 4: You should scratch that itch.

1519
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 2: And at the time, I was like, well, I'm not gonna.

1520
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna. I'm on the league minimum salary. I

1521
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 2: haven't played it down yet. I'll save, save, save down

1522
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 2: the road. And what's funny is I'm in year thirteen

1523
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 2: coming up. I never bought the sports car. And we

1524
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 2: sometimes think of that conversation and I'll be like, that

1525
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 2: kind of sums it up that like I never did.

1526
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 2: And there's a point where at some point you do

1527
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 2: need to just go scratch that inch. And I think

1528
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 2: my Rex's point is well taken. He was speaking from

1529
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 2: year eleven where you're saying like, yeah, just go you

1530
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: only live once. Go scratch that. It's like have fun, like,

1531

1532
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 2: tell me, and he was right right. And so I

1533
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 2: think there's some of that, But are you going.

1534
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: To buy one? How close are we you looked into?

1535
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 2: So I love cars, So I've like when we were

1536
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 2: in Vegas for the Super Bowl week, I went out

1537
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 2: to a racetrack and I was going, like I took

1538
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 2: my brother and he's going for fun, and I'm like,

1539
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm going because I'm trying to test drive these things.

1540
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 2: Here's what I want to get. Yeah, so, but I

1541
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 2: you know, I still haven't bought one. But we came

1542
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: here and Mercedes is a partner of the team. Stadiums,

1543
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 2: Mercedes been stadium. They've been great. So if I were

1544
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 2: to get one, I'd probably go that route, you know,

1545
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 2: get the get the AMGGT. But uh, I've always wanted one.

1546
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 2: I just never really pulled the trigger. So I got

1547
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 2: to keep Avenue.

1548
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: You still got that.

1549
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 2: Well, my grandma's ended up getting told crazy stories. So

1550
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 2: I buy my grandma's conversion van in twenty fourteen. Uh,

1551
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 2: kept it going, kept it going. It was fun, We

1552
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 2: took it to games of fans.

1553
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 1: Probably kept it going.

1554
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably kept it going. But it was sitting in

1555
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: a mechanic shop parking lot, and at four am in

1556
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 2: my hometown, a guy goes off the road and runs

1557
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 2: into it and totals it.

1558
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 4: Like.

1559
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 2: The damage was like ten grand and the van was

1560
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 2: worth like four grand. So it was the gun.

1561
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: So I had to do You think there's no way

1562
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: to fix this with ten grand?

1563
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 5: Well I could have.

1564
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: I could have doubled think grand. The vans were four

1565
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna put crazy over.

1566
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could have doubled owt But I was like,

1567
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 2: you know, the shirts company check ought to take it.

1568
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 2: But then we went in. We did buy a conversion van.

1569
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 2: We bought a brand new one. My wife was saying

1570
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: it's not My wife was like, I don't think this

1571
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 2: is safe on the road anymore. She's like, let's just

1572
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 2: get a new one. So we got a new one.

1573
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 2: So we do have the conversion. Man, we splurs down.

1574
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 4: That slirs on the conversion.

1575
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 2: I have nice things. I don't want to lead the

1576
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 2: audience think that, like I drive like a nineteen eighty

1577
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 2: five Honda Cord and like live in a cardboard box.

1578
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:09,919
Speaker 2: But we have nice things.

1579
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: I say, Julie still picks out your your fashion.

1580
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't trust myself. I dressed myself this

1581
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 2: morning at like six am. When I looked fantastic, No,

1582
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 2: thank you, But I'm a pump that quarterlink socks came back.

1583
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 2: I've always felt that quarterlngth socks are the best sock going. Yeah,

1584
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 2: the higher ones are too tall. The low cut or

1585
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 2: too low quarter length is perfect. But for the last

1586
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 2: fifteen years, quarterlink socks were a big no no. Like

1587
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: my wife was like, you can't wear those, but they're back.

1588
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: You feel like I was at the Pro Bowl a

1589
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 2: year ago, two years at the back and Fred Warner

1590
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 2: was wearing quarterlank socks with the with the Nike Uh,

1591
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 2: like the dunks.

1592
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Were you wearing quarter links?

1593
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I was thinking. I was still thinking low

1594
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 2: cut was in. So the quarter length came back, and

1595
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 2: I realized that the Pro Bowl like, oh this is

1596
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 2: good for me? Like this is good. I'm I'm long

1597
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 2: on been like the Trailblazer to bring his back. But

1598
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 2: that's the thing. I'll see, if I'd been wearing them,

1599
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 2: they wouldn't have come back. So see, I wore a

1600
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 2: six like your rookie year. I was wearing a six

1601
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 2: around the building. Everybody would kill me for it. They're like, dude,

1602
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 2: you can't wear a six with quarterlink socks. Like, that's terrible.

Speaker 2: any had any success in my career is because I

1682
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 2: have a spouse, a help mate who is kind of

1683
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 2: there for me and is a support and does take

1684
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 2: so much off of my plate. I think she's a

1685
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 2: big part. I remember when I got married ray Right,

1686
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 2: the strength coach for all these names from the past

1687
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 2: good times, ray Wright pulled me aside. He goes. I

1688
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 2: firmly believe Kirk and Ray was a man of few words,

1689
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 2: but he goes. I firmly believe that players in this

1690
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 2: league do not play their best until they get married.

1691
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 2: And he's like, you got married, I think you're best

1692
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 2: gonna come out and that year I got benched. But

1693
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 2: next year, next year, the so it does.

1694
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, yeah, you kind of eliminate a

1695
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: lot of distractions that you know, single men would have spa.

1696
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 2: I think you distractions. I think I think she helped

1697
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:16,959
Speaker 2: create some structure.

1698
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

1699
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 2: And she is a great perspective, you know, like what

1700
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: happened to day at work? What did you tell this person?

1701
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 2: How do you respond to that comment? Would you? Hey,

1702
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 2: I think you said this to the media. I think

1703
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 2: you should have said this, like it's like a built

1704
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 2: in coach. Yeah, and if you listen, like you can

1705
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:31,759
Speaker 2: learn a lot of good things from your spouse.

1706
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man.

1707
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,799
Speaker 4: You ever get to a point though, when your season

1708
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 4: is dragging on, You're in week nine, you can't see

1709
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 4: the end of the road just yet. You go do

1710
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 4: the media and you come home and your wife's like, listen,

1711
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,799
Speaker 4: you said it like this. I say, like that, Well, you're.

1712
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 2: Kind of like, honey, here's what I gave me.

1713
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 4: A couple of minutes.

1714
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm on a boat in Lake Michigan, July fifteenth, and

1715
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 2: I'm trying to enjoy my day and Julie will say

1716
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: some crazy comment like I can't wait for football season,

1717
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,639
Speaker 2: and I'm looking at it. I'm like relax, like football

1718
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 2: will be I'm trying to enjoy this boat ride. I'm

1719
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 2: thinking about I'm not thinking about football, and she's like,

1720
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,759
Speaker 2: I just can't wait. I just love ball, I love football,

1721
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, because you don't have to do

1722
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 2: two days, like you don't have to gride. So she

1723
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 2: she loves the season, but sometimes I need her excitement

1724
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 2: to just be measured because it's July and we're not there.

1725
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, ten days away from camp, that's it. When it

1726
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 4: starts to sinking, like damn, like it's really coming up. Yeah,

1727
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 4: we really got to go through this camp.

1728
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: What went into you choosing Atlanta?

1729
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 2: I would say the biggest thing was I felt, going

1730
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 2: back years in Minnesota as we were trying to get

1731
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 2: an extension to retire a Viking, and the offers were

1732
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 2: coming in each off season that it was a one year.

1733
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 2: It was a one year, and I realized, you know,

1734
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 2: if I'm going to stay here for another year, I'm

1735
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 2: probably not going to get to retire here. And so

1736
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 2: I did sign a one year and did try to

1737
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 2: make it work. But then I realized, you know, this

1738
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 2: isn't changing. It's still a one year every year, and

1739
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 2: I realized, like, I want to go somewhere, be somewhere

1740
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 2: where I know I could retire there. And so that

1741
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 2: was kind of the feeling was when I signed with

1742
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 2: the Falcons that I think I'm going to get a

1743
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 2: chance to retire a Falcon, and that that excited me.

1744
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: Were the vikings ever? Were the vikings? Obviously they're in

1745
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the conversation and stuff. Oh yeah, things to make it work?

1746
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, no, that they were. They were very involved.

1747
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 2: They were, they were, they were great through the whole process.

1748
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 2: They were great, and they always were. They were always great.

1749
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 2: It was just that the structure and the structures what

1750
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 2: is always kind of driven the conversation for me. The

1751
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,879
Speaker 2: structure was was more on a year to year basis,

1752
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 2: and you thought, you know, I don't think that's the

1753
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 2: direction I'd like to go do.

1754
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:39,719
Speaker 1: Not so sorry?

1755
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 6: Go ahead?

1756
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 4: Oh you had You've got through this situation twice for

1757
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 4: your for transitioning. You set up relationships, established a home, friends,

1758
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 4: all that stuff. You've made a move two separate times.

1759
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 4: Now emotionally, how to how do you handle that?

1760
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 2: Really difficult? Really difficult? Thanks for asking. Yeah, it's it's

1761
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 2: just a big it's a big turn. It's a big change.

1762
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 2: You don't like I don't, even as a sports fan,

1763
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 2: I don't have an appreciation for when like Kevin Durant

1764
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 2: leaves the Warriors and goes to Brooklyn nets I just

1765
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 2: struck my shoulders and like, all right, he's still Kevinduran

1766
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:08,560
Speaker 2: Imna Sae him doing the same things he did in

1767
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 2: the Warriors. But you when you live it, you're like,

1768
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 2: it's a huge change. You know, it's a huge change

1769
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 2: for family, for meeting people, for leading people. You just

1770
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 2: hit the reset button and it takes time to build

1771
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: up equity with people that they trust you and you

1772
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 2: trust them, and so you do feel like you're rookie

1773
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:27,919
Speaker 2: again a little bit. You feel like you're going backwards

1774
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 2: instead of taking steps forwards, which can be frustrating, but

1775
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: you also know that's what you're signing up for, so

1776
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 2: you kind of brace yourself for that.

1777
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: Structurally, like I remember sitting in our row and talking

1778
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: about guarantee contracts, you've kind of become like the example

1779
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: for guys around the league whenever a new contract pops

1780
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins, you've had I don't know how many

1781
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: guaranteed contracts. But when you were talking about structure in

1782
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: the way it looks now you're in a situation where

1783
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: you're in a four year deal, not all guaranteed does

1784
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: that kind of like is that kind of the game

1785
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: like you had you were young? So it's like, okay,

1786
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: let's go more short term because I know I can

1787
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: get You had a goal of having guaranteed contracts. Did

1788
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: that kind of shift going into this next deal?

1789
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've always said, like, you deal in reality and

1790
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 2: you deal in risk. So I can tell you all

1791
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 2: the things i'd like in a contract, but if reality

1792
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 2: is I'm not going to get that in the market,

1793
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 2: then it's pointless to talk about. So there's a little

1794
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: bit of what's reality. Reality would be that I'm coming

1795
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 2: off in Achilles, that I'll be thirty six years old

1796
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 2: before I start the next game, and therefore my market

1797
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 2: may not be as strong as i'd like it to be.

1798
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 2: There's also risk, like what are you willing to risk?

1799
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 2: What are you willing to put on the table? What

1800
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 2: are you you know? And I was willing to play

1801
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 2: out a contract, you know, I said, I if all

1802
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,759
Speaker 2: I'm going to get form Minnesota is a one year extension,

1803
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 2: then I'd like to just play out this contract and

1804
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: I'll get that one year when the season's over. But

1805
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 2: there's risk involved with that, So I try to deal

1806
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: in reality. And I try to understand risk and those

1807
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 2: two things, and I feel like the combination of those

1808
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 2: two is what drove the whole off season process to

1809
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 2: end up where it was. But I do think there

1810
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 2: are too many players and really sometimes teams that they

1811
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 2: aren't dealing in reality and they aren't recognizing risk, and

1812
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 2: so you have to realize those two things are a

1813
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 2: big part of all contract discussions.

1814
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 4: That last part you just said about other players not

1815
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 4: dealing with reality and not understanding the risk that is

1816
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 4: the majority of college NFL players that are playing in it.

1817
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 4: Do you ever sit down and have those conversations with

1818
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 4: those guys because it is a so many guys live

1819
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 4: a delusional lifestyle and it's kind of scary to watch

1820
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 4: as you're look at you guys with my brother. You know,

1821
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 4: if you're an undrafted cat playing minimum and you're rolling

1822
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 4: around in the nicest car in the lot like we got,

1823
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 4: there's a problem.

1824
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've always said that they don't, you know, the

1825
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 2: forty yard dash. I'll you know, watch the combine on

1826
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 2: NFL Network whatever, and I'll laugh and I'll be like,

1827
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 2: until they have a forty yard dash that the number

1828
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 2: tells you someone's emotional intelligence and self awareness. You really

1829
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 2: haven't evaluated the player, right, Like you know, we'll get

1830
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 2: some guys and you're like, yeah, he's a great player,

1831
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 2: but like he is so unaware, like there's no awareness,

1832
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 2: and eventually that's just going to limit what he can

1833
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 2: do as a player. So or vice versa, you say, yeah,

1834
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 2: the guy isn't the fastest, is the strongest, isn't the biggest,

1835
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 2: but he's emotionally intelligent and he's very aware, and he

1836
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 2: knows how to work. He knows the strategic things he

1837
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 2: has to do to be better. And so I'll play

1838
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 2: with him any day and he's going to be a

1839
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 2: great player in time. And so I don't think they've

1840
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 2: come up with tests at the combine to figure out this,

1841
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 2: you know, separate the two. But that's a big deal

1842
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 2: to me is people who can recognize reality and live

1843
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 2: in reality instead of you know, a world that doesn't exist.

1844
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Or they think they might get like guys

1845
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: who could be in situations they think they're going to

1846
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: get something in a negotiation and then it kind of

1847
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: it's like they feel disrespected on something without understanding what

1848
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: the risk is or the market or business.

1849
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of it is. Yeah, people don't understand

1850
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 4: that all do you have.

1851
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: Something fellas we interrupt this episode to bring you Lucy.

1852
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: You hear us talk about all the time. You see

1853
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: the videos we lock in with Lucy me, particularly Lucy Breakers.

1854
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: Lucy pouches go up to twelve milligrams in strength as

1855
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: low as four. I believe the gum even has two,

1856
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: and they have a unique shape that fits great in

1857
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: the mouth. Your boy's rocking four right now. Lucy Breakers

1858
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: are the only pouches with the hydration capsule inside. They're

1859
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: a totally new kind of pouch, only available from Lucy.

1860
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,560
Speaker 1: The capsule releases a burst of flavor think orgasm, and

1861
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: helps release nicotine faster for an experience that you can't

1862
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: find in any other pouch. It helps you lock in,

1863
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: raise your focus, and the gas station pouches get the

1864
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: job done. But once you've tried Lucy, you won't want

1865
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: anything else in your pocket. I can't tell you the

1866
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: amount of fellows and gentlemen out there. I think one gal.

1867
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: We got onto the Lacy Breakers through our spring tour

1868
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 1: and everything else. But the guys who said that they

1869
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: were gonna there once they tried these, they were gonna

1870
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: go online. They're gonna buy the flavors that I recommend

1871
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: in mind, Espresso Breakers. The breakers is what you need.

1872
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:42,799
Speaker 1: Espresso Breakers and Mango Breakers. Those are my two favorite.

1873
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:49,720

1885
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: But Lucy dot Co slash busting, I was just gonna

1886
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna transition to the Achilles. Yes, talk talk

1887
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: to that well.

1888
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 2: Quarter length socks do protect the scar.

1889
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 4: See let's say it.

1890
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 2: When when the uh when the scar? When it was

1891
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 2: you know, no show socks. The scar would be very visible.

1892
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 2: But now I can rock quarter length and I don't

1893
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 2: even have to show this car.

1894
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 4: You got a solid hand line coming into even wearing

1895
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,799
Speaker 4: those quarter lenks out, it was okay, they haven't.

1896
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 2: Even come throw away, but uh it's healing up. We're

1897
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 2: six months and change in. I was told nine months

1898
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 2: when I did it was kind of the timeline August first,

1899
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,600
Speaker 2: but being a competitor, I'm hoping for faster than that,

1900
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 2: and we'll see if we can get there when.

1901
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:15,799
Speaker 4: They're when they're sorry, go ahead.

1902
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I was gonna ask if

1903
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 1: you converse with Aaron Rodgers at all time.

1904
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,439
Speaker 2: I called him. I think I did it on Sunday.

1905
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 2: I probably talked to him on Tuesday just to say,

1906
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 2: you know what, what what do I need to know?

1907
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 2: Didn't even know what to ask, really, but he was great.

1908
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 2: He was helpful, gave me his perspective, his thoughts, what

1909
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 2: you want to focus on. And then I probably circled

1910
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 2: back with him in December on our bye week and

1911
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 2: he was very helpful.

1912
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: Again.

1913
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 2: At that point, he was trying to get back on

1914
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 2: the practice field already and uh yeah, so he was helpful.

1915
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: And then I started researching people have torn their achilles.

1916
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 2: It was a it was a serious list, like I

1917
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 2: made like a power rankings of the all time people

1918
01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 2: have torn their achilles. I know al Gore tourst go

1919
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 2: towards Achilles, Judy Dench tore achilles. The actress uh uh.

1920
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 2: We had Brad Pitt, George Clooney and one other famous

1921
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 2: actor all tore their achilles Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe elected

1922
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 2: not to have surgery and like it never got better,

1923
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 2: so like twelve years later he got surgery. So I

1924
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 2: felt like that was a good argument to get surgery. Yeah,

1925
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:23,600
Speaker 2: but Brad Pitt ironically tore his achilles while playing the

1926
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 2: role of Achilles for the movie Troy. No filming was

1927
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 2: suspended like four to six weeks so he could heal.

1928
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 2: But uh, Tiger Woods, I guess towards achilles. I didn't

1929
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 2: know that. A lot of basketball players Clay Thompson and

1930
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, Dan Marino. So I was just looking at

1931
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 2: like all these guys and it was encouraging, honestly, because

1932
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 2: there are so many people who came back and live

1933
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 2: meaningful lives.

1934
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 4: Most achilles because you get worried about the Achilles because

1935
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 4: that ankle flection would have been the most difficult part

1936
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,440
Speaker 4: for you in this recovery process.

1937
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of it is trying to

1938
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 2: get the brain to recognize that you're good now. And

1939
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 2: so it's the innervation of the muscles and knowing that hey,

1940
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 2: yes we went through trauma, Yes it needed to heal,

1941
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 2: but it's healed now you can go, we can go.

1942
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 2: I think the brain is still guarding like it always

1943
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 2: does after an injury, and so we're trying. It takes time,

1944
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:14,600
Speaker 2: and so you can do all you want, you know,

1945
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 2: the exercise you want, but it's still a time has

1946
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 2: to do its work.

1947
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 4: Is is pain a factor at all?

1948
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 2: I think pain kind of becomes like your signal that

1949
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 2: you aren't healed yet, or that that's your limiting factor.

1950
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 2: So if you move and there's pain, then it's like, hey,

1951
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 2: why is there pain? Let's work through this. But it's

1952
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 2: interesting how as time goes, as you heal, as you

1953
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 2: do more rehab and exercises, you find you can do

1954
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 2: more and more and more and where you're getting that

1955
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 2: moment of pain that's telling you to stop is further

1956
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 2: and further and further down the movement scale. So I'm

1957
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 2: really close now and we just got to kind of

1958
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 2: break through that last that last push here to go

1959
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 2: from where I am to.

1960
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 4: Like fuld go.

1961
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: How'd you do mentally through it all? Like you get

1962
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: from you know, you're obviously making the push of the vikings. Now,

1963
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: you guys didn't start the right way, but the were ascending. Yeah,

1964
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 1: you guys are aer You guys were in those close

1965
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: games that you probably should have. We were really you're

1966
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: starting to a sand and then you go from and

1967
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 1: you're now on the couch watching the game. Everybody else

1968
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: did you?

1969
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 2: No fun? No fun. I was in a dark place

1970
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 2: for a while, like anybody would be. You know, football

1971
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 2: means something to me, and it hurt. It was confusing,

1972
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 2: it was frustrating, and so I'd beliging to you if

1973
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: I told you, oh, I was good, I was resilient.

1974
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 2: It's like, no, I dealt with the same feelings anybody

1975
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 2: would feel. You know, you're frustrated and you feel like

1976
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 2: you're not you're getting a delta bad hand. But I

1977
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 2: had to remind myself that, Okay, this football career, I

1978
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,600
Speaker 2: don't own it. I just steward it. I steward what

1979
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 2: I'm giving. There's only so much you can control, and

1980
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 2: so you control what you can control, and what you

1981
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 2: can't control, you've got to let go. If you try

1982
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 2: to hold it tight, you're just gonna wear yourself out.

1983
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 2: So that perspective of being a steward not an owner

1984
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 2: really helped me. And and uh, and so I said,

1985
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm a steward my rehab. I'm ann steward my rehab. Well,

1986
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 2: and so what I did, uh, and you would have

1987
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 2: done this too, well is I went into the training

1988
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 2: room every day in Minnesota, and I thought, all right,

1989
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,879
Speaker 2: so my team, because I'm really not with the team anymore,

1990
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 2: so my team is the guys who were also on IR.

1991
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 2: So like I'm the quarterback of the IR group. So

1992
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 2: we go in there every day. There were like six

1993
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 2: of us, and I would say, okay, guys, we don't

1994
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 2: have parole, Like we're not getting we're not gonna get

1995
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 2: to go see the pro board. Justin Jefferson over here

1996
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 2: is dealing with a bad hand.

1997
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 4: Me.

1998
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:22,760
Speaker 2: He gets to go to the pro board in like

1999
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: two weeks and get back in the in the game,

2000
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 2: but we don't. So I kind of tried to have

2001
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 2: our group, you know, stick together, keep each other up.

2002
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 2: And then we did some trips together, did some dinners together,

2003
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 2: just to kind of feel like we're in this together.

2004
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 2: And I feel like that really helped me feel like

2005
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm not alone. There's five other guys whose seasons are

2006
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 2: over also, and I think four of the five also

2007
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 2: had expiring contracts, so we were kind of all in

2008
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 2: it together and that was really good. And then I

2009
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 2: was able to see the training room from the perspective

2010
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 2: of what they're trained to do. Like when I tore it,

2011
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 2: they showed me their level of excellence when it was

2012
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 2: like they it was clockwork. They knew like where to go,

2013
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 2: what to do next, every step it was just clockwork.

2014
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,480
Speaker 2: And so I had so much respect for our Minnesota

2015
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 2: training room because I got to see them in action,

2016
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 2: and even the culture in the training room, how they

2017
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 2: had like that bedside manner where they know that like

2018
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 2: we're all going through a hard time and they're able

2019
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 2: to kind of really talk us through that and work

2020
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 2: with us. So a ton of respect for the Minnesota

2021
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 2: training room. And it was hard. But one of the

2022
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 2: reasons it was hard for me to leave was knowing that,

2023
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 2: like that's another place.

2024
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 4: I got to start over for guys that anybody who

2025
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 4: gets hurt playing a sport, they go through that sad,

2026
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 4: sad boy period. What was the switch in your head,

2027
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 4: because obviously you're having a hard time. You took this

2028
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 4: amazing approach with the ir making them a team. What

2029
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 4: was like, how do you get yourself out of that

2030
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 4: funk to allow you to now, Okay, I'm gonna make

2031
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 4: this a good situation as opposed to just living in

2032
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 4: a bad situation.

2033
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think time helped also. Legos so I took

2034
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 2: I told the Julie. I said to Julie, the team

2035
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 2: left for an away trip to somewhere. I think they

2036
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: may have gone to Atlanta or Denver, probably Denver. And

2037
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 2: I said to Julie, I texted you because the team

2038
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 2: left for Denver. And I'm sad, right, I'm like, golly,

2039
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 2: I should be in Denver. I shouldn't be here. You

2040
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 2: know a scooter, And I said, you, Lego, We're taking

2041
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 2: the boys to the Mall of America. We're going to

2042
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 2: the Lego store and I'm gonna scratch that itch. So

2043
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,640
Speaker 2: I went in there and I looked at like the

2044
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 2: Lego person with the apron at the entrance welcoming me in,

2045
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 2: and I said, you're with me, get a cart, we're going.

2046
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 2: I was like, whatever, those two boys right there at

2047
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 2: five and six, whatever they say they want, throw it

2048
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 2: in the cart, and we're gonna start building. So we built.

2049
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,759
Speaker 2: We built the Lego Concord, we built the space Shuttle,

2050
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,120

Speaker 2: So love Legos.

2093
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:25,959
Speaker 4: Legos are the best Lego sponsor sponsors.

2094
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 2: They should sp We got a lot of brands here,

2095
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 2: the fast food brands, car brands, Lego brands.

2096
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I pick one right now, Paddock or Rolex.

2097
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 2: Wow, depends on the model. So like a rarer, a

2098
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 2: rare Rolex that's like unattainable. Got to know somebody to

2099
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 2: get If someone's willing to let me get one, I'm

2100
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 2: probably going rolex iconic it is, but we're mean we're

2101
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 2: splitting hairs here.

2102
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:50,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, both great brands.

2103
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 2: And you did say Paddocks where you finished, So maybe

2104
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 2: that was the wrong answer.

2105
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 4: Repeating a cool quote that I heard less than a

2106
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 4: week ago.

2107
01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the articles that have been going around

2108
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 1: draft Knight. Yeah, Kirk Cousins, Michael Pinnix gets drafted. Uh,

2109
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 1: they call you when the pick is happening, right.

2110
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 4: You know.

2111
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: There's a Minnesota article that came out of reason that

2112
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Kirk left was they talked about hit them drafting a

2113
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: success or high So that was one of the reasons

2114
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: he comes to Atlanta talk about draft Knight Kirk Cousins,

2115
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons picking Michael Pinnox.

2116
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're reminded again that you there are

2117
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 2: things you control, and there's a lot of things you

2118
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 2: don't control. And so let's deal in reality, you know,

2119
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 2: and recognize that fact and then be a steward not

2120
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 2: an owner. So I just believe that I got a

2121
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,839
Speaker 2: steward what comes my way and control what I can control,

2122
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 2: which is what a steward does. But a steward doesn't

2123
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 2: worry about that which they can't control. Yeah, an owner does.

2124
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 2: An owner would be like, oh my goodness, So I

2125
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 2: just got a steward this and and just just you know,

2126
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 2: do kind of what I've always done as a player,

2127
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 2: and let the chips fallwarre them.

2128
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: May before you fit, before your brain starts to compartmentalize

2129
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: and realize what's controllable and what's not. The reaction when

2130
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 1: the immediate reaction when Michael Pennis gets drafted, well, I

2131
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: had was a phone call right before.

2132
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had, like I'm trying to think it was

2133
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 2: twenty one, so I have been three years ago, uh Vikings.

2134
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,559
Speaker 2: Three years ago. I was finishing up around the golf

2135
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 2: before the draft on Thursday, and I'm on like the

2136
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:22,599
Speaker 2: eighteenth toll walking up the fairway and Clint Kubiak calls

2137
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 2: me r ROC and he said, I just want to

2138
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 2: get your heads up, like we made draft a quarterback tonight.

2139
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, Like and this was on Thursday.

2140
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 2: This was on the Thursday, like college before the draft. Yeah,

2141
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 2: so I understood that, like for a while, you know,

2142
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 2: teams are always thinking about succession plans, are always thinking

2143
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 2: about that, and they didn't end up drafting one that year,

2144
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 2: but you're made aware that, like this is this is

2145
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 2: a possible direction that could go. So my point is

2146
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 2: is this isn't like a foreign concept. There's an awareness

2147
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 2: that this is the NFL. You know, anything can happen.

2148
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:57,799
Speaker 2: And so it kind of was a part. I remember

2149
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 2: I was committed to Michigan State, so I was trying

2150
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: to go to Michigan State, but they didn't offer me yet.

2151
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 2: I go on my official visit. No offers, they explained

2152
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 2: to me at the visit. They said, we've offered five

2153
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 2: other quarterbacks. If any of them commit, we will not

2154
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 2: offer you because we're gonna take one quarterback in this

2155
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:18,719
Speaker 2: recruiting class. If all five don't commit, we would then

2156
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 2: maybe send you an offer. So you'll do this official visit,

2157
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 2: but no offer, go home and we'll call you if

2158
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 2: something happens. So we did the official visit. In like

2159
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 2: a week and a half later, I get a call

2160
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 2: from coach Antonio. He offered me a scholarship. What he

2161
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 2: was saying was is they went zero for five. So

2162
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 2: I said okay, And I didn't commit right there in

2163
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 2: the moment, but the next I slept on it. The

2164
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 2: next day I called him, I said I'd like to

2165
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 2: be a Spartan. So I committed, but I did understand

2166
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 2: I was the sixth choice.

2167
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2168
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 2: And then two weeks later, so I signed my scholarship.

2169
01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 2: And back then, once you sign, you can't back out,

2170
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 2: like you have to sit out of here if you transfer.

2171
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 2: So I'm locked in at Michigan State, no way to

2172
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 2: get out. And he calls me two weeks later and

2173
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 2: he said, hey, there was a quarterback who didn't sign

2174
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 2: on signing day. He's extended his recruit and he's coming

2175
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 2: up to Michigan State for a visit. We're going to

2176
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 2: offer him. We think he's gonna commit. His name's Nick Foles.

2177
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,639
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, I said, now, a month ago,

2178
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 2: you told me that there were five guys that if

2179
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 2: they committed, you wouldn't offer anybody else. Now I committed,

2180
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,719
Speaker 2: and those same rules don't apply. You're you're now offering

2181
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 2: somebody else. I say, what do you think that makes

2182
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 2: me feel?

2183
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: Like?

2184
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 7: So?

2185
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 2: And Nick was the man. I'm so glad our past cross.

2186
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 2: We were together for a year and he's been a

2187
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP.

2188
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2189
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 2: So, but I remember at the time thinking like it's

2190
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,639
Speaker 2: gonna be tough. Nick's a really good player and probably

2191
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 2: only one of us will play at Michigan State. So

2192
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:38,600
Speaker 2: I say all that to say this whole competing for

2193
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 2: your job, coaches having to have a full quarterback room,

2194
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 2: have good players trying to you know, get as much

2195
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 2: depth as they can. It's more like, you know, copy

2196
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 2: and paste than it is something new for me, because

2197
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:52,640
Speaker 2: this goes so far back to kind of how it

2198
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 2: always has been.

2199
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 1: Right Because so it's fair to say Kirk causes the Falcons.

2200
01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:58,839
Speaker 1: There's no there's no beef involved.

2201
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 2: No, and I don't think there can be. I don't

2202
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 2: think it's helpful, like we're trying to win a super Bowl,

2203
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 2: and it's hard enough, Like you know what I mean, Like,

2204
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 2: it's hard enough. So let's let's all be on the

2205
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:10,759
Speaker 2: same page and let's try to go in a super Bowl.

2206
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 4: I'm stuck on the Michigan state thing right now.

2207
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: Oh, hang on one more for you, you go back to

2208
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: the Michigan state because I was going to say too,

2209
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Like you brought up the example of Minnesota and QBAT

2210
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: calling you on Thursday, Hey we might draft somebody. We

2211
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:25,640
Speaker 1: just had Raw on and Raw was kind of like

2212
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 1: in the mindset of like, you know, what did he say?

2213
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 1: There was like a line that he said, but basically communicate,

2214
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, when we needed to communicate it. He's like,

2215
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 1: what if I told him before, yeah, that hey we

2216
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 1: might draft somebody high and then you don't end up

2217
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: doing it. What can still happen to a psyche? Not

2218
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:42,480
Speaker 1: that it would go sideways, but there's all these variables

2219
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: that go in on how to communicate and they're not

2220
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 1: always going to be right right, But it just had

2221
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:47,680
Speaker 1: me thinking about that. It's like, yeah, you have a

2222
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: phone call where's like, hey, we might we could be

2223
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback tonight. Doesn't end up happening it's like,

2224
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 1: well they're looking to replace at some point.

2225
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's also like going back to reality. Yeah,

2226
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,720
Speaker 2: like there's a little bit of like, hey, you may

2227
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 2: not like what you hear, but like it's reality. I

2228
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:03,599
Speaker 2: don't know tell you, like I'd love to change reality,

2229
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 2: but reality is one thing. It's reality.

2230
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. So anyways, Michigan State, Yeah, let's go, they go

2231
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 4: zero for five. Why didn't you just go to ann Arbor?

2232
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 2: So tremendous question and this would probably paying some Michigan

2233
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 2: State people, but growing up in the state of Michigan, like,

2234
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 2: if you have them offered me, I mean, come on,

2235
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 2: that's that's an iconic program and at the times Chad

2236
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 2: Henny's a starting quarterback. I mean they pro style offense,

2237
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 2: j iconic coach and Lloyd Carr like they did things

2238
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 2: in a way that people respected. So yeah, but I

2239
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:39,240
Speaker 2: was you have to understand it. I was so far

2240
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 2: not on their radar, Like I was nobody, and they

2241
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:45,720
Speaker 2: had Ryan Mallett. Ryan Mallett had committed to them and

2242
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 2: was signed and for good reason. I mean, the guy

2243
01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 2: was so talented and once you get a Ryan Mallett,

2244
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 2: you're not even looking. And so yeah, I wasn't even

2245
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:59,000
Speaker 2: I don't think I was. We have to go back

2246
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 2: to that staff someday and ask like, was I do

2247
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 2: you even know who I was? I don't think you

2248
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:02,360
Speaker 2: even knew.

2249
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 1: I didn't have an offer.

2250
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 4: He didn't.

2251
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,720
Speaker 2: You didn't have an offer, not even like I didn't

2252
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 2: even speak to somebody from mission, Like I was so

2253
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 2: far off their raidar. The no reason Michigan State came

2254
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 2: in was because their quarterback, they're Ryan Mallady, committed, so

2255
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 2: they were left kind of at the altar in December,

2256
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,240
Speaker 2: like what do we do? Because I walked off the

2257
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 2: field of my last high school game with no scholarship offers,

2258
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 2: So all my recruiting happened in like the last month

2259
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:24,599
Speaker 2: of the same.

2260
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 4: So were you fully expecting to still continue your football

2261
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 4: career even if you didn't get an offer?

2262
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 2: So when I was playing, I was very aware that

2263
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 2: like Division three was on the table.

2264
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 4: But what about walking on? Nah?

2265
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:37,479
Speaker 2: I always think I want to play, so to just

2266
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 2: like hold a clipboard and do the signals and like

2267
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 2: live the dream of a Division one play that didn't

2268
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 2: interest me. I want to compete, So I visited the

2269
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:45,720
Speaker 2: IVY league that I flew to Princeton. I remember on like

2270
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:47,720
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving weekend, my dad and I went to Princeton and

2271
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 2: we walked around the campus just to like, hey, if

2272
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 2: we can't get a scholarship, maybe the scholarship is to

2273
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 2: get into a school of this kind of prestige. So

2274
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,600
Speaker 2: that I was very serious about the IVY League. I

2275
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,559
Speaker 2: remember flying to Yukon and Yukon said like, we'd maybe

2276
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 2: offer you like a gray shirt, Like it was crazy,

2277
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 2: like just standing there, like, please offer me a scholarship.

2278
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 2: I'd like to play for you. And they'd be like,

2279
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 2: we're just not sure. God din't with papist Jerild the

2280
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,519
Speaker 2: Northwestern and he's like, you know, we're not going to

2281
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 2: offer you, but we would give you a walk on spot.

2282
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 2: My dad goes the goes, how much would it cost

2283
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 2: to go to Northwestern? Just as a dad goes. I

2284
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 2: never forget he's and he was being honest. He said

2285
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 2: tuition at the time, two thousand and six was his

2286
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 2: thirty eight thousand dollars a year just for tuition. And

2287
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 2: my dad's like, it's gonna be tough, coach, Like, I

2288
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 2: gotta be honest, it's gonna be tough. So yeah, so

2289
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 2: it was, but It's interesting because then you go play

2290
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 2: against Northwestern and it was just such an odd dynamic

2291
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 2: or it's like I was begging you to play for you, right,

2292
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 2: and now I'm playing against you.

2293
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 4: And now I'm dropping twenty eight on you, right? And

2294
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 4: it when growing up, where was the line for you?

2295
01:37:58,000 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 4: Were you Michigan, stayed? Were you Michigan?

2296
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 2: It was neutral. My mom went to Iowa.

2297
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 4: I don't think he can do that.

2298
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:05,479
Speaker 2: Her dad played at Iowa. So I was a Hawkeye

2299
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 2: fan and I was again it was another school I

2300
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 2: went through from worked out, from, toured the facility, like

2301
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:15,280
Speaker 2: his offer never came and and I can't say enough

2302
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 2: how everything worked out, but uh yeah, I was kind

2303
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 2: of just neutral. Watched Michigan Michigan State, and just kind

2304
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 2: of enjoyed watching good football because my team was really

2305
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 2: Iowa was who I was watching.

2306
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: What was your size as a senior, so.

2307
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 2: I was definitely undersized. My like played my last game

2308
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 2: my junior year at like six one and a half

2309
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty eight pounds. I remember that being

2310
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 2: like I'm light, yeah yeah, and then and then to

2311
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 2: add insult to injury, my forty was like a five

2312
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,679
Speaker 2: to two. So I was like skinny, short and slow,

2313
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 2: so like you're not doing a little bit. But yeah,

2314
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:50,639
Speaker 2: so then my senior year I played at like one

2315
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:53,879
Speaker 2: seventy and I remember going to Michigan State and stepping

2316
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 2: on the scales now post senior year at like one

2317
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 2: point eighty and just being thrilled. So I didn't looked

2318
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 2: the part. Didn't have a Division one body. My dad

2319
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 2: always thought I'd be a baseball player because he just

2320
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 2: assumed I wouldn't be big enough to play football. But yeah,

2321
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 2: I remember at my signing day event where the head

2322
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 2: coach talks about all the guys they signed, and he said,

2323
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 2: Cousins reminds me of when I was a dB coach

2324
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,759
Speaker 2: from Michigan State with Nick Saban and we were coaching

2325
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 2: against Drew Brees at Purdue watching his high school tape.

2326
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 2: Hissibility to have like different arm angles and throw with

2327
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 2: timing and accuracy and see the field. He goes, it

2328
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 2: reminds me of Drew Brees. And I thought, if I

2329
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 2: remind him of Drew Brees, like that's at least I'm

2330
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 2: on the right track, you know. So that was a

2331
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 2: good sign.

2332
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:37,200

Speaker 2: the boys will honestly have a big play in it

2371
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,640
Speaker 2: because if they're saying, hey, Dad, we'd really like to

2372
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,160
Speaker 2: have you stop, I'm done, But if they're like Dad,

Speaker 2: here my agent as we're leaving the building, he just jokingly.

2378
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 2: I think he even said it to Minnesota too, when

2379
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,920
Speaker 2: we first moved there. He tapped him on the shoulder

2380
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 2: and he said, all right, thanks so much, guys, we'll

2381
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 2: see you, and he goes, uh, we'll see you in

2382
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 2: three years for the extension. I thought that was a

2383
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:10,000
Speaker 2: good line. But we'll see one year at a time.

2384

Speaker 4: How is I know, I'm kind of jumping back up.

2385
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:14,720
Speaker 4: I know we've got to wrap it up. But when

2386

2387
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:18,599

2388
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 2: And Yeah, I just texted him that night. I just

2389
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:23,840

2407
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:07,719
Speaker 2: we were rookies, I had.

2408
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:09,559
Speaker 1: To do two rookie minute camps. It was a practice squad.

2409
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:11,680
Speaker 2: I was so pissed your second year.

2410
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,799
Speaker 1: Second year, Ko came.

2411
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:15,719

Speaker 4: To explain two.

2414

Speaker 1: Okay, so I had to do two rookie minute camps

2415
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: because I was practice squad my first year and I

2416
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 1: only played the very last game of the season, So

2417
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: which isn't you need three games to have a credited

2418
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 1: season to mean like you're not a rookie anymore. And

2419
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: so the next year, since I only had one game

2420
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, the next year, we have a few

2421
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: OTA days and it's not even on my radar. And

2422
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 1: Ko comes up to me, the linebacker coach, and he's like, hey,

01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,400
Speaker 1: He was an outside backer. He's a pass rusher. He's like,

2439
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:23,320
Speaker 1: we didn't draft any Hey, the good news, we didn't

2440
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 1: draft anybody. So he was like myself, I'll get to

2441
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:28,800
Speaker 1: work with you one on one versus like you have

2442
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 1: like Keenan, Perry, Riley, all these guys that were ahead

2443
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 1: of me. Anyway, we'll get to do some one on work.

2444
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 1: One on one work together has a little get to

2445
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 1: see more, You'll get to communicate and honestly, the rookie

2446
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 1: Mini camp, like knowing the installs and knowing the calls

2447
01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: and being demonstrative out there actually helped me go for

2448
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: three on the depth chart. And then I was one

2449
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: on special teams across the board because has came up

2450
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: to me. It was like, cop, you know you can

2451
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: play right. I'm thinking my head like yeah, yeah, I

2452
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: just you know, I need an opportunity. And he's like,

2453
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: you do real well out here. He's like, where are

2454
01:44:57,960 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 1: you out on the special team steps trot. I'm like

2455
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: the fucking autumn.

2456
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 2: The next day, bro one, it's interesting.

2457
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: And then second rookie mini camp actually was you know,

2458
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:09,440
Speaker 1: a piece.

2459
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 2: But it's a grind if you feel disrespected because you're

2460
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:15,639
Speaker 2: kind of true it sent out. It's like being sent

2461
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:17,960
Speaker 2: down the minor leagues for a week and and but yeah,

2462
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,240
Speaker 2: for me, it was arrived Thursday, get a physical too

2463
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 2: a day Friday, two a day Saturday, one a day Sunday.

2464
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,600
Speaker 2: So five practices in three days. And uh, it was

2465
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 2: like drink it through a fire hose. It was a lot.

2466
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,679
Speaker 2: But now it's one practice.

2467
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: And meet one in a developmental day.

2468
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like in like a meeting about how to

2469
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:36,680
Speaker 2: take care of your finances.

2470
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:39,240
Speaker 4: That first time coming in a rookie rookie mini camp

2471
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:41,960
Speaker 4: and just like trying to digest a playbook. And then

2472
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 4: I don't know about y'all, but the techniques for an

2473
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 4: off it's a lot, and they want you to do

2474
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,800
Speaker 4: techniques totally different than you had before. It's like it's

2475
01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 4: actually a scary situation.

2476
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 2: Correct, It's it's interesting how good you can be at

2477
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:54,840
Speaker 2: football if you're doing it the way you've always done it.

2478
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:57,880
Speaker 2: And the minute someone says, okay, now do it from

2479
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 2: the pistol something you've never done for the pisso or okay,

2480
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:02,719
Speaker 2: now do it with emotion going this way, or okay,

2481
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:04,760
Speaker 2: now do it take this angle step instead of that

2482
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 2: angle step, and you feel like you've never played the

2483
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 2: position before.

2484
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: So not only that, but also the comments like, hey,

2485
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how you did it Michigan State, you

2486
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like we do it a little

2487
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 1: bit different.

2488
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:19,559
Speaker 4: Here, but it's just like it ten anymore about that? Yeah, yeah,

2489
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:21,679
Speaker 4: I never thought about that, Like you being the pistols

2490
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 4: supposed to be under center, how that could be so

2491
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 4: different for you?

2492
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,639
Speaker 2: It just like the footwork on it and where you step,

2493
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 2: the angles you take. You're like, the play's the same,

2494
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 2: but I feel like it's a whole new offense. I'm learning.

2495
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of of pieces to start and

2496
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:36,799
Speaker 2: over where You're like, it's going to take time because

2497
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not the thirteen year vet right now

2498
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:42,400
Speaker 2: in this moment, I can get there, but right now

2499
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm having to start over part of the deal.

2504
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:53,839
Speaker 2: ask Jonathan about the watches.

2505
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, no questions.

2506
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:58,439

2508
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 4: second time you've come in this podcast. And the man

2509
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 4: that you are being able to work through these processes,

2510
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,760
Speaker 4: going through trials and tribulations and being able to flip

2511
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 4: the switch being like I can't control this, You're moving

2512
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 4: forward is like, I think there's a special quality to have.

2513
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that with my boys, that like,

2514
01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 2: my boys are not going to have everything go their

2515
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 2: way in their life. And I'm excited to say, what

2516
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 2: do you think dad did when he tore his achilles

2517
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:27,640
Speaker 2: or like what do you think dad? Did you know

2518
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 2: when they tell him he's not good enough? Like welcome

2519
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 2: to life, boys, like this isn't And if I had

2520
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 2: had everything go my way, if I was the first

2521
01:47:35,120 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 2: overall pick and everyone told me how greaterwise my whole career,

2522
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 2: I don't have much to tell my boys, like my

2523
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:42,799
Speaker 2: boys can't learn from that. So I think the blessing

2524
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:45,200
Speaker 2: and similar to having to go to rookie mini camp,

2525
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 2: like there's a blessing there for my raising my boys

2526
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 2: that they will be gritty when they're eighteen, because I

2527
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 2: feel like they're gonna look at my story and be

2528
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 2: able to say, like that's who we are, like that's

2529
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 2: what we do, as opposed to oh, we don't know

2530
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:56,080
Speaker 2: what that's like.

2531
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 4: You know, cousins, never say die.

2532
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, never say die. Man, just dig deeper and uh,

2533
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 2: you can be disappointed, but you can't be discouraged. You

2534
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 2: got to keep going, all.

2535
