00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm going.

80
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: And people that follow my story, if you see the

81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: hashtag and the number, people like, what is that number?

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 3: That's the store numbers?

83
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:34,960

84
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I always tag that as well.

85
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the most interesting thing about Taryl that

86
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: people don't know is like, oh no, he and waffle house.

87
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah.

88
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: And the thing is people like, oh, waffle house is nasty.

89
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: You can find healthy alternatives or options anywhere you can go.

90
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: So for me, like I said, I don't. I don't

91
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: eat all the other stuff. Like I go egg whites,

92
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: slice tomatoes, and I.

93
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: Gotta have me a waffle. Gotta have me a waffle.

94
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, they got all the sausage, egg and cheese,

95
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: all that stuff. They got all that, but I just don't.

96
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: I don't indulge.

97
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Now, are there any other football leagues that we're going

98
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: to see you in that are fan controlled?

99
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Hey? You never know, man, they got this UFL, you

100
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: know what I mean?

101
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Now you can play in UFL right now, yeah. I

102
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: mean obviously like a whole season or like a quarter out.

103
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: Strategically, like I said, third down in red zone, third

104
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: down in red zone. I mean that's where again, like

105
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: I said, I would be a viable option. Like I said,

106
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: go out there and run. Honestly, I got to be risky.

107
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: I'm not going to run you fifty sixty seventy snaps.

108
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: But when you think about the advantages and obviously the game,

109
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: the teams that are playing in the Super Bowl today,

110
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: they are here today because they move the change in

111
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: third down, those critical downs, and in the red zone,

112
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: that's what that's what the paydoret is. That's where you

113
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 4: gotta score points. Look at the Ravens. What happened with

114
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: Zay Flowers? He couldn't get it right at the end zone.

115
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Fumber the ball.

116
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: That's where you that's where you move the chains, and

117
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 4: that's where you end up being in the Super Bowl.

118
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: By putting points on the board.

119
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Right now, money on the line. You're old Cho Sinko

120
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: in the forty who win in now?

121
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: I would give me my money. Boy, if you bet

122
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: on him. You're not lost. You got lost.

123
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: When's the last time you time yourself in the forty

124
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: because I seen you and a half two years. Yeah,

125
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: I've seen you run four four and what was it?

126
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: Four four?

127
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: What it's like about a four four three for four?

128
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: My boy? Still rolling?

129
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: What you got right now?

130
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: Right now?

131
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean like a couple of minutes.

132
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: It ain't no joke, though, you gotta say you gotta

133
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: stay active.

134
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Question moving now, how do you stay busy off the field?

135
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: I know you've been you're an entrepreneur. You gottal type

136
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: eighty one, that's the line.

137
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

138
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 4: So it's like, uh, I checked out the side like women,

139
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: so you're in a sex So it's like for women's

140
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: like hoodies, joggers, crop tops, leggings. I have a few

141
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: pieces of performance where obviously you got athletic. But again,

142
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: like I said, I'm trying to get more in the trendy.

143
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: Like I said, hoodies, things that Native Street where just comfort,

144
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

145
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: Just comfort. I would know this.

146
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: If you could play for any quarterback in today's NFL

147
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: right now, who would it be and why.

148
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 4: I obviously go with one of the guys, Both of

149
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 4: those guys that are playing in the Super Bowl right now,

150
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: especially Patrick Mahomes just this ability obviously to play inside

151
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: the pocket and he can play outside. The protest when

152
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: you look at my career. Unfortunately I didn't get to

153
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: play my tenure with Steve Young, but you think about

154
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 4: how he was early on his career obviously pocket passer,

155
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: but when he got out of pocket, he can make

156
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: plays with his feet. Obviously, scramble drill, you know for

157
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 4: a defense that's a nightmare. Obviously trying to get uncovered

158
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: guys to uncover. I made literally a living because I

159
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: understood the scramble drill and understanding of the rest that

160
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: the quarterback is under. When they get out of the pocket.

161
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: All they looking for is your team color. They looking

162
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: for the opposite color for you to for your team

163
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: to throw the ball to. So that's what I did.

164
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 4: I tried to get in the visibility of the quarterback

165
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: so they can get me the ball so I can

166
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: do what I do. I call it, m ya, make

167
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: yourself available when that quarterback is out.

168
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,520

294
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,920

318
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: he might have told me, but I got so many

319
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 5: things going through my head.

320
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: I was completely forgot that I was miked up.

321
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 5: Thank God, say nothing too crazy, but like that was

322
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: all very genuine and very very excited. I mean, I'm

323
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 5: a twenty four year old, twenty five year old kid

324
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: that just fulfilled his dream, like you know, you dream

325
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 5: about it, like playing on the street with your friends

326
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 5: and the red cars that end zone and you in

327
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: the super Bowl like on you know, so like to

328
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 5: actually do it in real life was was life changing,

329
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 5: I thought.

330
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: I think one of the most exciting parts when I

331
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: watched the YouTube video of you during the Super Bowl

332
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: was when for when Mario Manahan made that catch down

333
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: the sidelines bananas right, and you just went crazy.

334
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

335
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even your one foot two foot Yeah,

336
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: yeah it was. It was a good narration that you gave.

337
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 5: What I'm like, because you know, there's moments and then

338
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 5: obviously going into that game, you know, you don't know

339
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 5: the football gods is gonna be on your side. Is

340
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 5: the second time we playing the same team. They got Brady,

341
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: they got welk or they got everything they've had over

342
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: there to be successful over the last years, and you

343
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: guys just got hot in the play and we just

344
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 5: hit it right. So I don't know if this is

345
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 5: like NFL guys like all right, this is their turn now,

346
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 5: and I'm like, not this one because I'm I'm just

347
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 5: my first one, Like don't let them be a guy,

348
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: let them get the next year or something. So you

349
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: just don't know, and there's always a play that changes

350
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 5: the momentum. It was the David Tyree helmet catch, right,

351
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 5: it was you know, Julian Edelman.

352
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: Toe catch on it.

353
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 5: Like, there's always one that shifts the joint. So I knew, Mario,

354
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: if this was a catch, this was going to be

355
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 5: the one that shifts the joint. So I'm watching and

356
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: you know, they obviously challenged it or whatever, so I'm

357
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 5: looking at it and I'm like one two get Like

358
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: it was just such a real moment, and I knew

359
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: that that play could be the one that changes the momentum.

360
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: So, speaking of moments six years, what was your proudest

361
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: NFL moment.

362
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: Proudest NFL moment Probably my first catch in the preseason,

363
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 5: like to have a one handed catch up the sideline

364
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: in MetLife Stadium, Moms in attendance.

365
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: You were single digit number two in the first three Yeah,

366
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: who is this guy that's crushing it?

367
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 5: Right? You know they give you the single digit number

368
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: when I don't think're gonna make the team. You know,

369
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 5: they just like, we ain't got a number for you yet.

370
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: So take what you had in college and live with it,

371
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So so to have a

372
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: one handed touchdown up the sideline kind of trip regain

373
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 5: my balance going up the sideline against the Jets at

374
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 5: the crib, I lived twenty minutes down the road, like

375
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 5: all those things culminating, was like, Okay, this is a moment.

376
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 5: And then to proceed to have two more touchdowns the

377
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: rest of that game and then kind of just be like, Okay,

378
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 5: I belong here, you know what I mean, Like I

379
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: could play at this level and really do it at

380
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 5: the high level and see where it takes me.

381
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: Like that was that was a moment for me.

382
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't think enough people understand is when you have

383
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a great preseason game, like everybody else in the league

384
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: is put on notice and then like.

385
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: Bro, you they can't cut you no more. Like yep,

386
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: like he balled out.

387
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: You get three interceptions in a preseason game, you scored

388
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: three touchdowns.

389
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: You made the team that year, absolutely, and we gonna

390
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: find a way. They gonna figure it out.

391
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 5: They're gonna eve been playing special you know, they do

392
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 5: the special teams thing, trying to find your niche. Yeah,

393
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 5: and I just wasn't a special team's guy on any either.

394
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 5: I just wasn't that guy.

395
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: You know.

396
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: I tried. I tried to do it, but you know,

397
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: I got an opportunity. Some guys were hurt and some

398
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 5: guys didn't play that Week three against Philly, and I

399
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 5: got my shot man and I ended up with three

400
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 5: catches on hundred yards, two touchdowns. And they was like, Okay,

401
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: we don't need to put you on special teams. You

402
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: got a niche out here. We need to put you

403
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 5: out here so you can use the athleticism and use

404
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 5: your kind of you know, spontaneity while I'm out here

405
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 5: playing and creativeness.

406
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: And go out there and perform.

407
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the just transition, because you know,

Speaker 1: this is the NFL Player's Second Acts podcast, So let's

409
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: talk about this second act that you've been on. You've

410
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: been a TV analyst. You've done like you're doing right now.

00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: You said you want to be an actor. You said

412
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: you want to be a TV host before you show

413
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: got messed up during COVID.

414
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: But golf's let's go there, guy's paying attention, looking at

415
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 5: the jut. Damn, he's watching things like golf has changed.

416
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 5: Just it's such a life sport. Yes, And I'm gonna

417
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: be honest. It's my daughter that really got me open

418
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: to it. I heard he's been playing since she was five.

419
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: She's twelve now, and I went to go. You know,

420
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 5: I wasn't going to watch her do the lesson, and

421
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: I wasn't even into it when she was five. Yet

422
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: it wasn't til she was like seven eight and I

423
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 5: took her to her lesson. And my daughter's very energetic, rambunctious,

424
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 5: loves to talk loud or moving around. And we get

425
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: to the course and she's like that that I want

426
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 5: to warm up a little bit before the lesson starts.

427
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: I'm like cool.

428
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 5: She dropped three balls on the putting green, grabbed her putter,

429
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 5: was like quiet, calm down, like.

430
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: Hit three, And I said, this is the sport that

431
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: gets you to shut up.

432
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm doing this with you, like we're doing this

433
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 5: together and you've never seen her like that. I had

434
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 5: never seen her just be locked in like that, And

435
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: I was like, I want to play this game with

436
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 5: you because you know, I just want to go on

437
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 5: this journey with you and see and see where it

438
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 5: Lanza is. So I started taking lessons, realized very quickly

439
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 5: that I need to take a lot more lessons I

440
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: figure this thing out.

441
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: But once you hit one flush, it's nothing better.

442
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 5: Oh my god, there's nothing better to recreate that moment

443
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 5: every did ever since Bru. And I've threw that addiction

444
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 5: and through me getting better over the years pretty pretty

445
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 5: fairly quickly, because again I'm addicted, right, I can't go

446
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 5: how much coffee play a year? I mean last year,

447
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: and these are just the games that I lock you know,

448
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: on the grant.

449
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 3: I have the app.

450
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: I played thirty six rounds of golf last year and

451
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 5: those are the ones that I just put into the app,

452
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: right right, I played maybe fifty something total. Like, because

453
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 5: I'm traveling here, golf clubs is with me right now

454
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 5: in the hotel. I'm never traveling without them. I'm playing

455
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 5: against sa quand tomorrow. So like a game so it's

456
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 5: always the competitiveness is still there, but the camaraderie is

457
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 5: what I love the most. And then you get the

458
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: opportunity like I got the opportunity to play at Marco

459
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 5: Simone and at the Ryder Cup, at that pro am

460
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 5: and be in Italy and like play golf in the

461
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 5: you know, in the Illis spot in Italy, Like yeah,

462
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 5: you can't beat some of those things, man. And it's

463
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 5: just opened up so many more doors and resources and

464
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 5: just people that it's really been a game changer.

465
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: From the amazing thing to me, what I learned is

466
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: that if you're like halfway decent, I don't need you

467
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: to be in the sevens, but if you be in

468
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: the upper eighties low nineties, like we can play, you

469
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: can get around and then like you would get invited

470
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: to so many other people because people love to play golf.

471
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: The first thing I earn first lesson before I even

472
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: swung a golf club, my instructor said to me, he

473
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: was like, I need you to remember two things.

474
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 5: I need you to play fast and have fun. And

475
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 5: I was like, okay, I could do that in the beginning.

476
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 5: You know, you're hitting it all around you like, let

477
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 5: me pick this thing up and be tried the next team.

478
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 5: But I ain't about to be back here in one

479
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: hundred times. As you get better, though, you start to

480
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 5: understand the game, and you understand how to hit balls,

481
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 5: and you understand like, I'm a g outside of the rough,

482
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: in the bushes, because that's where you get the most practice.

483
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: The first two years. Is like I'm gonna hit it

484
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 5: out of these buchets. I'm gonna hit it out of

485
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 5: there always, so I can get that practice. Now when

486
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 5: I get in trouble, there's a certain confidence to get

487
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 5: out of that. Or if I have a window, I

488
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 5: know how to hit it out of that. The same

489
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 5: in life, right, same thing I tell my daughter is like,

490
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 5: you get into these troubles in life, you gotta find

491
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 5: that window to hit it out of. You gotta find

492
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 5: that little safety net for you to say, Okay, how

493
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: am I going to plan myself to get out of

494
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 5: this jam that I'm in. It's no different in golf

495
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: than in real life. I stay whooping your butt in

496
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: golf every time we go. I stay, I stay, Oh

497
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 5: my god, room is terrible. Room is terrible.

498
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: But speaking of entrepreneurship, I know you got an investment

499
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: in the East Side Golf. What do you like about their brand?

500
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 5: Oh Man, Well, first of all, I just love that

501
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: there are two young brothers that are just figuring it

502
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: out and stuff with them and just venturing off into

503
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 5: a world that doesn't have many people like us in it.

504
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 5: So because of that and because of their authenticity, right,

505
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 5: they're real golfers, Like they're really nice with it. Obviously

506
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 5: Elaja one is still trying to become pro and do

507
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: all of those things, like they're really real about it,

508
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: not just two guys.

509
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: Trying to make some money off some golf.

510
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: Like, these guys are really passionate about the sport and

511
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: walk and that's.

512
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: What really kind of gravitated me to them.

513
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: And then obviously having two guys to just talk to

514
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 5: about the game that have done it at a very

515
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 5: high level and through the college ranks and all of

516
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: that good stuff. It's just good to have guys like

517
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 5: that in my back pocket. And then from a business perspective,

518
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: I just saw the growth of golf from when I

519
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: got into it around the COVID year or whatever and

520
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 5: just to now it's grown exponentially. And I kind of

521
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 5: saw that early on, and I was like, let me

522
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: get behind these brothers and see just where it goes

523
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 5: and just have have a some cool stuff to rock

524
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 5: when I'm out there playing and then be be behind

525
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 5: something that's authentic and see, uh and just kind of

526
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 5: see where it takes me.

527
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: I just ordered the shirt I didn't know nothing about

528
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: until you came on and I'm looking at the bio.

529
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he's like, what is that?

530
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: Okay? And you still think he beat me in golf?

531
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: He didn't even know about.

532
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 5: He said, it's starting to be a little shaky now.

533
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 2: The facts ain't starting to shake up.

534
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: To be honest, exactly. You see, I didn't say nothing.

535
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 5: I'm like, it'll play itself out exactly.

536
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: Roy never beat me in nothing. That's why you crying now,

537
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: that's look at him, look at them tears. That's why.

538
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: That's why he cried.

539
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: Now.

540
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: He cried every time. I'm right, every time I left anyway, No,

541
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: so last thing, and I want to get you know,

542
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: after this, and I want to bring back up this

543
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: Captain Morgan thing, and so for you to be the

544
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: league spokesperson and that man, uh, that that represents the

545
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: fan of the year for the last three years.

546
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: You say, sir, like, what is that? What does that.

547
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Responsibility come with? And how does that make you feel?

548
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: Because i know, you know, playing in New York has

549
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: it it's on advantages, but you're from there being a

550
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: part of that and now doing this and being a

551
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: part of the NFL.

552
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that.

553
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 5: Well, it's pretty incredible, right because if you look at

554
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: my journey, right, I've always kind of prided myself on

555
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 5: being the people's champ. Like I'm I'm grown, I grew

556
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: up right down the road from Giants Stadium. I'm the

557
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 5: guy with twenty five family members at the game off

558
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: from Pattison moving around. You're gonna spot them when you

559
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: see them type of thing. You know who they are

560
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 5: when you walk through the stadium. And I've always been

561
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: just mixed in with the people. So I've always you know,

562
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 5: when I'm at the mall in Jersey or I'm moving around,

563
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 5: I'm moving around normally, so people see me and they

564
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: kind of go, you just walk around here, No, I'm like, yeah,

565
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 5: like the same thing I used to do when I

566
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 5: was a kid walking around.

567
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: It's no different for me.

568
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 5: So to be to always be, you know, to always

569
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 5: carry myself as a people's shamp as a man of

570
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: the people, in my opinion, to be able to represent

571
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: Captain Morgan and represent the fans of the year, it

572
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: just made sense because I'm always interacting with the fans

573
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 5: all year long, every day, no matter if I'm in

574
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 5: New Jersey or if I'm in CALIFORNI on you if

575
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 5: I'm in Vegas, like the fans are everywhere, so to

576
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 5: be able to represent all of them and to be

577
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 5: able to hand them this award and be like, thank

578
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: you for your fandom and thank you for your love

579
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 5: of this game that I grew up loving my entire

580
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 5: life like, it's a pretty big honor for me and

581
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 5: something that I don't take lightly.

582
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I said that was my last question,

583
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: but I lie. Okay, see what's.

584
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: He always lying? I'm telling you that's what next for

585
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz because you do a lot of different things,

586
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: and I know you got a lot of different goals,

587
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: but I want to know personally because I.

588
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 5: See you on TV. But yeah, what's next for you

589
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: in your mind? I mean, I think it's so many things.

590
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 5: I think it's continuing to navigate all these spaces. I

591
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 5: always look at my life in pillars. Right, sports is

592
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: one pillar, the entrepreneurship is one pillar me and the

593
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 5: TV space is one pillar. So as long as all

594
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 5: those things are moving at the same time, I always

595
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 5: want to be in those things together. Now, one may

596
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 5: show his head and be like, Okay, this is a

597
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 5: big deal that's risen up from one of these pillars

598
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 5: that you should take seriously for a minute and kind

599
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 5: of put push those things to the side. Then when

600
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 5: those things come up, I'll do that and and you know,

601
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 5: approached those things accordingly. But I just want to move

602
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 5: all those pillars together. I remember somebody told me a

603
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: lot of little checks always add up to one big one.

604
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: So as long as I can continue to do that

605
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 5: and continue to provide for my family and my little

606
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 5: one at the crib, like we're good to go.

607
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: That's what's up, right, Man, appreciate you coming on the podcast,

608
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: you Captain Morgan and yeah, I can't wait to see

609
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: who the Fan of the Year is.

610
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I'm excited. Thank for you too. Man, I've

Speaker 5: been fans of you guys forever. I'm just happy y'all

612
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 5: ain't picking me off. You know, I'm a receiver. Glad

613
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 5: these guys have never intercepted me, never had to deal

614
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 5: with trying to chase them down from behind after a pick.

615
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: So thank you.

616
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: We in New Orleans we used to love seeing the

617
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: Giants because we had Eli's numbers, so like it was

618
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: never good.

619
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 5: I mean, we played that one time and this might

620
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 5: have been just after you and we was man. By

621
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 5: the time we looked up the game started, we were

622
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 5: amped up and Drew Brees scored on us like four times.

623
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 5: I looked up it was twenty seven six. I said, man,

624
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 5: this over for a start. And then I looked around

625
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: at the crowd. I was like, wonder what the crowd's doing.
