Speaker 1: the episode, but welcome to the episode. Right before we
Speaker 1: got on this episode, I was talking to Mitch. Apparently
Speaker 1: he's been he's been celebrating. He lost his Innermurals playoff game.
Speaker 1: Is it flag football or two an touch? It's flagging
Speaker 1: flag football. He lost the playoff game, and literally not
Speaker 1: even twelve hours later, the next morning, he's drinking espresso
Speaker 1: Martiniz celebrating.
Speaker 5: I guess failure.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say we were celebrating.
Speaker 7: I mean I got my buddy Dave in town, so
Speaker 7: we got to show him a good time we had.
Speaker 1: You don't think I have homies that come in down
Speaker 1: to watch the game. When I would play and then
Speaker 1: we'd lose, my boys would be right there next to me. Hey,
Speaker 1: brod they would be drinking. You know, they could do
Speaker 1: their thing. But I knew that we had to focus
Speaker 1: on the next week. You apparently don't have that.
Speaker 7: Well that was the end of the season, and at
Speaker 7: the end of the end of the season, it's kind
Speaker 7: of like, all right, we had a good season, we
Speaker 7: had a good run.
Speaker 1: Lick your wounds for about two weeks, and then get back,
Speaker 1: get back in the gym.
Speaker 6: Yep, and then we'll we start another league next week.
Speaker 5: Dave, did you play it? Did you participate in this league?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 1: I participated in the loss. It was my first game
Speaker 1: in a while.
Speaker 8: It was good to be back out there, you know,
Speaker 8: get the good energy going, be with the boys playing ball.
Speaker 1: What positions? I was playing center and linebacker.
Speaker 5: Center and linebacker and linebacker.
Speaker 1: I was just the guy.
Speaker 5: Did nothing of valued off for offensively other than just
Speaker 5: tossing the ball.
Speaker 6: It was it was like a good uh.
Speaker 8: I was a checkdown guy. You know, I'm not gonna
Speaker 8: do well. I'm not going to burn a safety. But
Speaker 8: you hit me in the flat, I'll put my shoulder
Speaker 8: in your chin and we'll keep it moving.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: See you rock with some good with some cool friends.
Speaker 1: Mitch. It is surprising.
Speaker 6: Why is that surprising?
Speaker 1: I'm teasing you, bro. You're a guys guy. You know
Speaker 1: that you're wearing our spring game championship shirts. Battle the Boys.
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 5: The live show? Live show this week in Nebraska.
Speaker 1: We will be in linked Nebraska at what is the
Speaker 1: what's the theater called? Our producer does not know, and
Speaker 1: neither dude does myself. It's somewhere downtown. You know, I will.
Speaker 10: I would like to get ahead of something. Give you
Speaker 10: all week in advance. I will not be at the
Speaker 10: live show. For those of you pressures purchasing tickets, I
Speaker 10: will not be there. I have my engagement party back
Speaker 10: in Greenville, so I will not be there.
Speaker 11: Continue And for.
Speaker 1: Everybody wondering we did not get the invite to that
Speaker 1: engagement party, JP's like, hey, I don't think I could
Speaker 1: make this trip to the spring toward my engagement party
Speaker 1: is happening. It's like you kind of know where you
Speaker 1: fall as a friend. I guess it is just business
Speaker 1: with this man. That's a lie. I know. I do
Speaker 1: hate that you're not going Nebraska's like, clearly I'm biased,
Speaker 1: but I do I enjoy. It's so much fun. I
Speaker 1: love going back to Nebraska. And on on Friday, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a coaches clinic. Bill Belichick will be in attendance.
Speaker 1: He'll be doing a He'll be speaking at the end
Speaker 1: of the coaches clinic, but I'm kind of getting like
Speaker 1: I kind of want to be at the clinic so
Speaker 1: I can just listen to everybody kind of talk ball
Speaker 1: and everything else. I feel like there's a void that's
Speaker 1: starting to fester up a little bit more personally about
Speaker 1: being outside the ball and being removed. And I'm kind
Speaker 1: of getting the itch of like, you know, wanting to
Speaker 1: like I'm asking coach Rule, what's your meeting schedule with
Speaker 1: the players, because I would love to like sit in
Speaker 1: on the meetings and listen to some coaching and try
Speaker 1: to get some tit like just like be in it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I kind of like miss it.
Speaker 1: In another like off of that too, a new pod
Speaker 1: that's I've enjoyed that I know nothing about it. I
Speaker 1: know nothing about the game of basketball, but I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of JJ Reddick in his new podcast Mind
Speaker 1: the Game of Lebron James. I've listened to those couple
Speaker 1: episodes and really have just listened to the front end
Speaker 1: of the episodes where he goes over the terminology and
Speaker 1: kind of the excell and o's of playing the game
Speaker 1: and everything else. It's just giving me a little uh,
Speaker 1: give me that itch to like want to be in
Speaker 1: it a little bit more.
Speaker 5: And honestly to the point.
Speaker 1: And I would love to know your guys' take on
Speaker 1: this as well, who people watching leaving a comment to
Speaker 1: let me know your advice, but how people would feel
Speaker 1: like if I kind of did like a terminology, did
Speaker 1: some whiteboard stuff, because the problem I've always had with
Speaker 1: like doing the x's and o's of football for everybody
Speaker 1: else is like JJ Lebron, they get the copyright stuff,
Speaker 1: they get to use the footage, Like I don't think
Speaker 1: we're able to use the footage of the NFL in
Speaker 1: any capacity or you kind of get next on YouTube,
Speaker 1: But if we're able to use the way JJ does
Speaker 1: such a good job like presenting and opening up and
Speaker 1: transitioning and just the production level. He's somebody I've always
Speaker 1: kind of followed the you know, to get tips on.
Speaker 1: He does such a good job communicating with everybody and
Speaker 1: like teaching the game. I feel like it'd be really
Speaker 1: cool just from a perspective of whether it's defense or
Speaker 1: he sits with Lebron and basketball too, you're able to
Speaker 1: kind of know every position one through five. Somebody like JJ.
Speaker 1: But if I were to whether it's sit with a safety,
Speaker 1: a corner, an offensive lineman, a tight end to kind
Speaker 1: of give all the different angles, say like beginner, fundamental,
Speaker 1: X and o's. I just think it'd be cool. What
Speaker 1: would you guys think about that? I would say, in
Speaker 1: your yeah, in your in your expert not an opinion.
Speaker 10: I think it's cool and I think that we definitely should.
Speaker 10: Like to me, watching JJ Redick and Lebron James do
Speaker 10: it together is awesome because Lebron James is a top
Speaker 10: at least a top three player of all time. Doing
Speaker 10: this piece of content with JJ Redick, who I mean
Speaker 10: obviously had a great career, but at the end of
Speaker 10: the day, he's just another guy that played in the NBA.
Speaker 1: But he still he's so well known because of his
Speaker 1: college years and he did he played like what twelve
Speaker 1: years in the NBA.
Speaker 10: For sure, But in the history of the NBA, JJ
Speaker 10: Redick's not a name that's going to be It's not
Speaker 10: like some crazy name. So I would say, as you're
Speaker 10: thinking about it, and I know, I'm like, if I'm
Speaker 10: JJ Redick when he's coming up with this idea, it's
Speaker 10: probably crazy in his head. Like, man, it would be
Speaker 10: sick if I could get bron to do it, So
Speaker 10: I would say, sit in your seat. You think of
Speaker 10: a guy that's retired right now, it'd be like, it'd
Speaker 10: be sick. If Tom Brady would do it.
Speaker 1: That would be sick. And I think it's achievable. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: what I think JJ said done so well at is
Speaker 1: as he's grown, he's obviously I'm gonna say better, but
Speaker 1: not as like a disrespectful thing. I think he's he's
Speaker 1: in the one percent of like two professions, right or three.
Speaker 1: I guess you got the podcasting world where he has
Speaker 1: his own business there. He's got the media world where
Speaker 1: he's on ESPN, the basketball world where he's in the
Speaker 1: top one percent of that. But he's done so well
Speaker 1: in his post basketball career to where he stayed in
Speaker 1: such an exces and O's part of the game because
Speaker 1: he goes viral from being on ESPN and being like
Speaker 1: upset over fans some on by this like do we.
Speaker 5: Care about basketball?
Speaker 1: And you know all the intricate details of basketball because
Speaker 1: he's obsessed with that kind of stuff. And I feel
Speaker 1: like he's done a great job of establishing himself there
Speaker 1: to where he has that credibility and I guess that's
Speaker 1: just maybe not maybe like knocking myself down, but I
Speaker 1: feel like Lebron's known who he is.
Speaker 5: Like me, I feel like, yeah this Tom Brady found
Speaker 5: me on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yes, but to sit there and to to to get
Speaker 1: in something like that, I agree with you. I think
Speaker 1: that would be incredible because I think what's happening for
Speaker 1: JJ or what's happened with him. Now you get Lebron
Speaker 1: because you know you're gonna get millions of views and
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna tune in because Lebron doesn't just do anything.
Speaker 1: And so he's sitting one on one with JJ talking
Speaker 1: through stuff. That's where they kind of have the footage
Speaker 1: and everything else. Maybe the Tom would be a play
Speaker 1: because he's.
Speaker 11: I would encourage you to go big.
Speaker 1: I love that and that fires me up. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you are you are right. It's I'm thinking of like
Speaker 1: different different avenues because a quarterback would be the right move.
Speaker 1: Say it's like a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Boys,
Speaker 1: if you're listening you, I would love to talk some
Speaker 1: ball with you. But uh yeah, go big. You're right,
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. What's what's the saying, shoot for
Speaker 1: the shoot for the dune, shoot for the moon. You're
Speaker 1: laying amongst the stars.
Speaker 11: Yes, sir, it's our light, not our darkness that most
Speaker 11: stuff frightens us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, I appreciate that, and it means even
Speaker 1: more because you're in that polo coming fresh off church
Speaker 1: for the east Man.
Speaker 10: I'll tell you this though, what I had this shirt
Speaker 10: on inside out all of church.
Speaker 1: And nobody nobody noticed.
Speaker 10: No, that's what pissed me off, and I had to go.
Speaker 10: I went to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Hey, if everybody listens, jj jj JP doesn't cuss either.
Speaker 1: He's got a little half word in there. He was
Speaker 1: You could tell he was upset when he says that.
Speaker 11: Well, dude.
Speaker 10: I went to the bathroom towards the end and I
Speaker 10: looked in the mirror. I was like, no, shot, I
Speaker 10: couldn't see my I couldn't see my buttons. I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 10: I can't go back in there because I know that
Speaker 10: people behind me probably saying stuff.
Speaker 11: Like that, you see his shirt.
Speaker 1: So I went.
Speaker 10: I was in the very back for the rest of
Speaker 10: the service, and finally I walked over to my friends.
Speaker 10: I actually saw Walker Zimmerman oh yeah, shot out boy Walker.
Speaker 10: He was walking by with his kid and uh, he
Speaker 10: was like, oh, what's up, man, how you doing? I
Speaker 10: was like, good man, you won't believe what just happened
Speaker 10: to me? Like why are you standing out here? I
Speaker 10: was like sure it was inside out the whole time,
Speaker 10: just now realized it because I nobody said a word
Speaker 10: in there walking up on you.
Speaker 5: You're just smoking a cigarette. Hey man, you go, you
Speaker 5: don't know what just happened there.
Speaker 10: Man, Yeah, That's why I'm in this polo never again,
Speaker 10: never again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and for that last conversation, we'd love to
Speaker 1: know what you guys would think, because I'm just kind
Speaker 1: of like, I know, I'm almost like itching to get
Speaker 1: into some more football content and like trying to figure
Speaker 1: out like how to do it, especially if we'd be
Speaker 1: able to use like footage to break stuff down. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like like remember when Orlowsky
Speaker 1: Like Orlowski would be a lot of fun to sit
Speaker 1: down with. He would be really good with that stuff,
Speaker 1: but when he was kind of I was seeing his
Speaker 1: thing last week where he was given flowers to Peter
Speaker 1: Schreger and then and then McAfee on the McFee show,
Speaker 1: but he would just record like his iPad. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that's something where we get where we would get
Speaker 1: in trouble doing that. I'm not yeah Baldy breakdowns, but
Speaker 1: again he's somebody that works with the network, So I'm
Speaker 1: I just get curious if that's like, uh, you kind
Speaker 1: of like get a pass for doing something, like like
Speaker 1: you get the copyright stuff or you're allowed to do
Speaker 1: it because you're like on staff.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 1: In the medium update with the Spring tour content, just
Speaker 1: to like let you guys know how we're gonna be
Speaker 1: releasing this stuff because I know. We were at Florida
Speaker 1: State last week and we had some awesome conversations with
Speaker 1: coach Norvel. He was a lot of fun to sit
Speaker 1: down with. We sat down with Braydon Fisk, Peyton Patrick
Speaker 1: and also DJ Ooh younga Galley, Ooh Younga Galley, oongalay
Speaker 1: ooh young Goole.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe it's o Ungala he was. He was fun
Speaker 5: to sit down with.
Speaker 9: I also think it's Patrick Peyton. Yeah what I say
Speaker 9: Peyton Patrick? Oh, my my fault, my fault, P my
Speaker 9: fault PP. But those were fun conversations. Those interviews are
Speaker 9: going to be released next week. So if you guys
Speaker 9: are watching out, what we're gonna do is Coach Norvel.
Speaker 9: He's gonna be our main bust with the Boys interview,
Speaker 9: and then we're gonna be dropping those interviews with the
Speaker 9: players the day before and.
Speaker 1: Is it the day after? Is is it all gonna
Speaker 1: be on Monday and Tuesday? Mitch Jief, do you know.
Speaker 6: I think we still have one more episode before.
Speaker 1: No, but we're we'll just we'll put we might push
Speaker 1: that one, we might push that one back, okay, or
Speaker 1: we might just do Norvel that same week because what
Speaker 1: I don't want to do is I want all the
Speaker 1: Florida State stuff to come out when it all happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I know next week, just to tease or just
Speaker 1: a shout out, who we're gonna have next week, we
Speaker 1: had Michael Bisbee in Vegas as well, and three hundred
Speaker 1: is next weekend, so right, okay, yeah, so that'll work
Speaker 1: out fine, Yeah, we'll do uh because we want to
Speaker 1: do Bisbee right before UFC three hundred. He was a
Speaker 1: fucking blast. Talk about charisma. He was a lot of
Speaker 1: fun to sit down with. All of his storytelling, but
Speaker 1: ultimately all of our spring tour content is going to
Speaker 1: be coming out.
Speaker 5: Every week starting next week.
Speaker 1: We did Florida State last week that we'll come out
Speaker 1: next week, and we're doing Nebraska this coming weekend. When
Speaker 1: we're there on April fifth and six, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: sitting down with Coach Rule. I have a quarterback sitting
Speaker 1: down with the boys, a big interview coming up, and
Speaker 1: those that were released the following week, so we'll get
Speaker 1: that stuff rolling out week after week. Florida State first,
Speaker 1: Nebraska second, Oregon third, Alabama fourth, And for those with
Speaker 1: the live show stuff, again, everybody last week who came
Speaker 1: to the meet and Greek had a fucking blast with
Speaker 1: you guys. Thanks for showing up, and again apologize about
Speaker 1: all the live show stuff. How we had to pool
Speaker 1: the day before. That was a very bad move on
Speaker 1: our part. We should have let you guys know sooner
Speaker 1: as soon as we found out, because it was kind
Speaker 1: of like a you know, we didn't know until like
Speaker 1: that week leading up to it was kind of up
Speaker 1: in the air about the live show, and then sponsors
Speaker 1: that were involved with the live show, and then hey,
Speaker 1: it'd be good if Taylor is present, and then I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, if we can move this show, one
Speaker 1: of these shows being the Florida State one, if we
Speaker 1: can move that to like a Nashville one for when
Speaker 1: that boy does get back, it'd be a lot bigger
Speaker 1: because I feel like at times we have a big following.
Speaker 1: I mean, people love that we came out to Florida State.
Speaker 1: But again, like last week, whether on Twitter, in the
Speaker 1: episode like selling like thirty tickets, we kind of shoot
Speaker 1: ourselves in the foot because a lot of tours, if
Speaker 1: you think about it, say a comedian or I'm ignorantly
Speaker 1: going to say like a local band, like you plan
Speaker 1: your tour around where your biggest audiences are at first,
Speaker 1: we plan our spring tour around getting into new markets
Speaker 1: with college football, So Florida State at an example. Oregon
Speaker 1: has another example, Alabama's closer to Nashville. So I'd be
Speaker 1: curious to see how that live show, how that turned out.
Speaker 1: It is, But we base our stuff around the content
Speaker 1: shooting at these colleges and where we shoot ourselves in
Speaker 1: the foot, is we Obviously we don't. We're thinner audience
Speaker 1: wise when we go to different corners of the country,
Speaker 1: so we're not.
Speaker 5: We didn't have our live show in Florida State. We
Speaker 5: moved that to Nashville.
Speaker 1: We're doing one in Lincoln because that's obviously your boy,
Speaker 1: and then in Alabama.
Speaker 5: But we'll see how that one turns out.
Speaker 1: So we have those three live shows Nebraska this week
Speaker 1: April fifth. We have Alabama that's going to be April
Speaker 1: twenty third, April twenty third, April twenty fourth, one of
Speaker 1: those dates, and then the Nashville one. We're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out the space we're going to use and we
Speaker 1: will be announcing when we'll be doing Nashville. So all
Speaker 1: those live shows will still happened. Shout out to the boys.
Speaker 1: You showed up a Florida State last week. We had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, drink a lot of drink, a
Speaker 1: lot of twisted tea, and had a good time with
Speaker 1: you guys. And so that's the update on all the
Speaker 1: Spring tour content. What else do we have? Should we
Speaker 1: hit a you know what I didn't do. I didn't
Speaker 1: hit that Chevy Reid.
Speaker 5: But we have DraftKings.
Speaker 1: The Greens in Augusta will soon host golf's greatest players.
Speaker 1: In DraftKings is bringing you closer to the action with
Speaker 1: a major offer to celebrate the tournament this week, All

Speaker 5: in a row.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but they if you hit four, it's annoying, like
Speaker 10: to everyone else.
Speaker 1: Right, But if you're kind of sitting chilling on your own, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're kind of enjoying, like Okay, this will sprinkle coming
Speaker 1: to my nose again? Like why am I sneezing so much?
Speaker 1: And you just boom, look up at the light. Yeah.

Speaker 7: This is one that like one of my teachers told
Speaker 7: me that he did in high school or college for
Speaker 7: like his senior prank. They got four pigs and like
Speaker 7: let them into the school and they numbered them one, two,
Speaker 7: and four. So when they found like the fourth pig
Speaker 7: or the pig with the number four, they were like,
Speaker 7: where's the third one? So kind of like a little oh,
Speaker 7: there's actually only three pigs, but it's numbered up to four. Yeah,
Speaker 7: kind of a little something like that. That's my that's
Speaker 7: why it's an honorable mention. Uh, that's a.
Speaker 1: Good little prank.
Speaker 5: Anytime you can do something to this school man.
Speaker 1: Like if there's any I don't know how big are
Speaker 1: a high school audience is, but a you get a couple,
Speaker 1: get a couple of bangers here.
Speaker 7: Uh, and then my tier three, Well, because it's when
Speaker 7: it doesn't. It takes a lot of effort to kind
Speaker 7: of do this, and like you're kind of an asshole
Speaker 7: if you do it. But like you saran wrap the toilet,
Speaker 7: so like there's like you just the layer of saran
Speaker 7: wrap that's clear right over like where you sit and pee.
Speaker 11: That was one of mine.
Speaker 7: And when you pee on it, like you're peeing on
Speaker 7: the seran rap, it just sprays pee everywhere and you're
Speaker 7: just immediately pissed off because you got to clean up piss's.
Speaker 5: And you're saying, that's at the journal, are you talking?
Speaker 6: No, that's all like the toilet, like we could do
Speaker 6: it too, We do.
Speaker 1: It under the seat.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you said took a ship you're just sitting
Speaker 1: on yeah yeah, yeah, what the fuck?
Speaker 5: Starts hitting your taint a little bit, you start smelling it.
Speaker 1: Oh my.
Speaker 7: So that's tier three and then tier two. I feel
Speaker 7: like this is a classic. Uh is it start sixty
Speaker 7: nine or start sixty seven? It's it's it's one of those.
Speaker 7: It could have been both of them. The like no
Speaker 7: caller id right, literally prank calling people. That one was
Speaker 7: just just a classic.
Speaker 5: Did you have a go to prank call?
Speaker 7: I didn't per se because I was kind of nervous
Speaker 7: to do it, but I just kind of we would.
Speaker 1: We would try and like just make our own story
Speaker 1: based off ones that Roy Mercer. I know. I've talked
Speaker 1: about roy De Mercer before on the podcast roy D
Speaker 1: Mercer this like incredible. He's like a radio guy who
Speaker 1: always did like these incredible pranks. So you know how
Speaker 1: I'm talking about roy D roy D by God Mercer.
Speaker 6: It sounds familiar.
Speaker 5: You gotta get you if you don't know who.
Speaker 1: Roy D Mercer is, you are, Yeah, I gotta tap in.
Speaker 1: You were not tapped in, bro, That's why I said
Speaker 1: I got to Yeah.
Speaker 7: But then, uh so my tier one, this one, it's
Speaker 7: it's a really quick one, but when it happens to you,
Speaker 7: your stomach immediately drops. It's like when someone texts you
Speaker 7: or like comes up to you. It's like, Yo, did
Speaker 7: you did you mean to post that? And you're like,
Speaker 7: oh shit, Like what did I just post something I
Speaker 7: shouldn't have? Like maybe you were nice, little quick one
Speaker 7: talking to somebody like that. Maybe thanks for getting a
Speaker 7: little bit a little freaky or something, and.
Speaker 1: You that photos out there.
Speaker 7: Somebody comes up to you and you're like, yo, did
Speaker 7: you did you mean to post that on your story?
Speaker 7: And your immediate like fuck, like what what did I
Speaker 7: just do? And then you like go and like everything's
Speaker 7: there and you're like you're such a that. But that
Speaker 7: immediate anxiety that hits you is like your brain just
Speaker 7: starts going everywhere.
Speaker 6: So that's my Tier one and that is my.
Speaker 1: Or something of that.
Speaker 11: And we did that to Travis right right right.
Speaker 5: Hey, you meant to you meant to post that last
Speaker 5: on your story?
Speaker 1: He was playing it off, but he was like, I
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, I'm just fucking with you. He's like, man,
Speaker 1: I was thinking of my Hey, like, yo, did somebody
Speaker 1: post them? When he was out here in Nashville. Tighten you, Hey,
Speaker 1: you meant to you mean to drop them in your story?
Speaker 1: I saw you kind of got it off there late
Speaker 1: this morning. He's like ah, you know. He like he
Speaker 1: was just trying to play it cool. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm just fucking with you, Dave. You got something you
Speaker 1: want to get in the mix, I'll get Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: get in the mix here.
Speaker 8: Tier three is kind of a classic one, like you
Speaker 8: cover your buddy's car or something and post it notes
Speaker 8: and they got to go through and they blow all
Speaker 8: over the place. Then they can get banged for littering
Speaker 8: if they don't pick it up. So it's a total
Speaker 8: it's a total inconvenience for him for her, and uh
Speaker 8: my Tier two just would be like me and my boys.
Speaker 1: You got to do it to the.
Speaker 8: Very irritable teacher, but you hide like important items that
Speaker 8: they need in the classroom for the class period to
Speaker 8: lay it all.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to watch this power point.
Speaker 8: Let's screw with their clicker, like just totally inconvenience her
Speaker 8: in her day. And then a Tier one is actually
Speaker 8: something I.
Speaker 1: Did to a roommate.
Speaker 8: My roommate loads arcauric before the night before just so
Speaker 8: he could pop the button whatever, have his coffee made.
Speaker 1: Well. I replaced it with a Papa.
Speaker 8: John's garlic pod one time and he wasn't paying attention,
Speaker 8: you know, he sets his coffee, lets it go. So
Speaker 8: the boy had a sip of just straight garlic water
Speaker 8: and said it was horrible.
Speaker 1: So that starts to today. Yeah, yeah, I know. It
Speaker 1: was definitely got to be.
Speaker 5: A little distracted to where he's not looking.
Speaker 1: It's premeditated, you know.
Speaker 8: I had to be down there and made sure I
Speaker 8: was having a conversation with him so he didn't see
Speaker 8: it or any of that, and it worked out.
Speaker 1: It worked out. In my favorite nice list, it's a
Speaker 1: good list.
Speaker 5: JP, What do you got, I'll do.
Speaker 10: My honorable mention will be just anytime your friend falls
Speaker 10: asleep and you just start stacking stuff them.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 11: They fall as leaven and you just put like ten
Speaker 11: pillows on him.
Speaker 10: And one time in college, one of our friends fell
Speaker 10: asleep and he fell asleep face down, and we spread
Speaker 10: peanut butter on the back of his leg and we're
Speaker 10: like putting crumbs.
Speaker 11: That were on the ground.
Speaker 10: And oh, and this guy is he was He was
Speaker 10: nasty man. He went to the gym and he didn't
Speaker 10: notice the peanut butter until he got to the gym.
Speaker 5: Like until he had to change.
Speaker 10: No, no, no, he didn't even change. He woke up,
Speaker 10: went to the gym, and.
Speaker 1: Then he text us, did you guys put peanut butter
Speaker 1: on my leg?
Speaker 5: Dang, you're just now finding out right, or.
Speaker 1: Like when you take a marker and just you know,
Speaker 1: obviously draw dicks on your boy's face. Yeah, I love cock.
Speaker 1: That's like, I actually have a photo my phone, Mitch.
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you so people can see a reference.
Speaker 10: Sorry logan, Yeah, the middle school sleepover pranks for brutal.
Speaker 10: My Tier three was I think, uh whatever Mitch was saying,
Speaker 10: sarane rap, So you can you can serand wrap the toilet,
Speaker 10: or you can saranne wrap the doorway. The person's like
Speaker 10: a head legs and they're walking and they just smack
Speaker 10: the saran wrap, which is a fun one. And then
Speaker 10: there is Tier two autocorrect. You can change like say,
Speaker 10: whenever you type the word the you can change somebody's
Speaker 10: phone to where it could say like.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yea yeah, like something that you know, you know,
Speaker 1: like is part of their language and texting, you go
Speaker 1: on their phone and change the word to.
Speaker 10: So say, if you're doing it to your parents, who's
Speaker 10: super conservative, you'd be like that. Anytime they say the

Speaker 10: mixed these up.
Speaker 11: This is actually too too.
Speaker 10: My brother he's super savvy with phones, and so he
Speaker 10: was able to text my mom from an unfamiliar number
Speaker 10: and he was texting her as if he was somewhere
Speaker 10: in our neighborhood and was dialed in on my mom
Speaker 10: and he's texting it and it's like, why is there
Speaker 10: like a white truck in front of your house right now?
Speaker 10: And we're all in the room with my mom knowing
Speaker 10: my brother Sam's doing this, and she's not saying anything
Speaker 10: at first because she doesn't want anybody to panic.
Speaker 11: He just sits on the chair.
Speaker 10: She gets up, goes to check.
Speaker 1: She's like, this is so weird.
Speaker 11: We're like, what's going on?
Speaker 10: She's like nothing, and then the next text is like
Speaker 10: you should sit back down. She's like, okay, guys, this
Speaker 10: is really freaking me out. She's like, here, look at this,
Speaker 10: and then she's showing us the text messages.
Speaker 1: Are you guys playing it up?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 1: Are you guys still? Like?
Speaker 10: We're like, oh, We're like it's probably Alex, my oldest brother,

Speaker 1: Just really weird.
Speaker 10: And she we just got her an Apple Watch, so
Speaker 10: she was setting up her Apple Watch during this time.
Speaker 10: So she's thinking it has something to do with that.
Speaker 10: And so my brother Sam, who's orchestrating this whole thing.
Speaker 10: Every now and then, he's texting her it's all connected,
Speaker 10: like your watch is all good. Yeah, and so she's like,
Speaker 10: they keep saying it's all connected. And then she's like,
Speaker 10: you know, the message will say, you know, like you
Speaker 10: need to put your dog inside before something bad happens.
Speaker 1: It's all connected. She's like, what's connected?
Speaker 5: Are you guys a break? Are you guys laughing at

Speaker 1: looking out windows being like trying to figure it out
Speaker 1: with her.
Speaker 10: We're like, mom, you gotta stop texting this person like
Speaker 10: they're just messing with you. And then where we couldn't
Speaker 10: hold on any longer was I literally I got my
Speaker 10: brother's phone that he was texting it with, and I
Speaker 10: was like, mom, let me like, let me see what's
Speaker 10: going on on your phone. I'll walk over there and

Speaker 11: And we start dying, La, God.
Speaker 1: Damn it, Mom, Like I just took that photo. You

Speaker 5: No, but that's solid. That's a nice one. We would
Speaker 5: do that locker room prank.
Speaker 7: That was like a that happened to me as a
Speaker 7: freshman in high school. Like the guys would just like
Speaker 7: you would get out of the shower and then just
Speaker 7: they would throw a baby patter on you and then
Speaker 7: you had a reshower.
Speaker 6: This is just a major inconvenience and you're covered in
Speaker 6: baby potter.
Speaker 1: My Tier three, I got a couple of good internet ones.
Speaker 1: We can run you guys these videos. But the first
Speaker 1: one is when there's this like airport prank tour on
Speaker 1: April Fools. This airport would take somebody that came in
Speaker 1: the airport and would have them printed on a newspaper.
Speaker 1: So if they came in there at security, they're getting
Speaker 1: this newspaper printed out and they're doing a green screen
Speaker 1: of like an interview, say like breaking news. So and
Speaker 1: so they're dangerous and armed, stay away from report them
Speaker 1: if you see them. And so the person would come
Speaker 1: through security and they would sit and the guy who
Speaker 1: would have the newspaper would try to intentionally find a
Speaker 1: seat and put up the newspaper in front of him.
Speaker 1: They would like kind of glance and look at it.
Speaker 1: I'll let Mitch run the clip.

Speaker 13: form attack off the float. You presily get get ill,
Speaker 13: but with boys ask a fields.
Speaker 6: That most physio.
Speaker 1: That's my tier three. I felt like that's like a
Speaker 1: that was like an all time video of a of
Speaker 1: an incredible prank. My tier two is uh the teacher
Speaker 1: one I was looking at before we started this. There's
Speaker 1: this one where they preface it again. We'll show the video,
Speaker 1: but they say that the teacher. There's a classroom policy.
Speaker 1: If your phone rings out loud, you have to answer
Speaker 1: in its own speaker. Hello, yes, okay, you might you.
Speaker 12: Might want to do okay, okay, thank you, thank you,
Speaker 12: I'll call back leader, thank.

Speaker 12: That's Okay, I've been accepting this and I already know
Speaker 12: what I'm gonna name the baby. The first name will
Speaker 12: be April in the middle name.
Speaker 1: And my tier one. The best sprink that I've pulled
Speaker 1: off is my April Fool's joke two years ago with
Speaker 1: Rue being born. She was due on April twenty or
Speaker 1: on March twenty seventh. Her DWO day was March twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: so she was like a week late because she was
Speaker 1: born on April third. April first rolls around and like
Speaker 1: my wife, she's she's having trouble sleeping and everything else.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of sitting up early in the morning and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yo, it's April Fool. It's like I
Speaker 1: should just do this fucking baby prank, like because everybody
Speaker 1: knows what I'm about to have a kid and everything else,
Speaker 1: and we're all hyped up about it. And so I
Speaker 1: put out a tweet and they're like seven in the morning.
Speaker 1: After laboring all night, she's finally here. I can't believe
Speaker 1: this perfect little one is ours with the white baby emoji.
Speaker 1: Willa Arlene Compton born at six thirty two am four
Speaker 1: to one, twenty twenty two. You are my world.
Speaker 5: It's a photo of this black baby, and what's crazy?
Speaker 1: Stephen Hay Stephen Chay. Of course he like he like responds, congratulations, buddy,
Speaker 1: hope every hope, everybody is doing good.
Speaker 5: I said, we are all good. She's a daddy's girl
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 1: And h Taylor even hits me up like, hey, congratulations
Speaker 1: blah blah. I was like, bro, I'm fucking around, like
Speaker 1: what makes you think I will make that post and
Speaker 1: put it on social media and not like already have
Speaker 1: let you know that. Ru has came in and he
Speaker 1: was like, dog, I'm so like thankful. I'm like thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, like dude, will really just post a photo
Speaker 1: and like he hasn't told me yet, like you know,
Speaker 1: on some on some friends stuff and uh, but that's
Speaker 1: my tier one, the the black baby prank, because it
Speaker 1: was going so nuts, like it gets into the all
Speaker 1: your racist crowd not crowd, but it's just like the
Speaker 1: audience that doesn't know you or know your humor or
Speaker 1: anything else, and I, you know, want to make everything
Speaker 1: about race. But even though the joke was about like damn,
Speaker 1: you better get a double look at that. That's not
Speaker 1: his kid, uh, but that is my that is my
Speaker 1: uh uh a tier list for for April Fool's jokes.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, she does she turns two on April third,
Speaker 1: and I was I was thinking, like, yo, for any
Speaker 1: any expecting dads out there with daughters, I've yo, great

Speaker 1: your boy, as you're listening to this episode, we're doing
Speaker 1: a little family vacation in the Bahamas for a few
Speaker 1: days before we go to Lincoln, before we go to Nebraska.
Speaker 1: I know, right flex, And I was thinking, I have
Speaker 1: a list of dad tips, of dad tips for all
Speaker 1: the expecting fathers out there or young dads who might
Speaker 1: be in the mix. Here are some tips that I've
Speaker 1: written down since Rue has probably turned like one years old,
Speaker 1: when she can start understanding a little bit more so,
Speaker 1: probably around that twelve to fourteen month range. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, the power of the secret. This is
Speaker 1: a great tip for fathers out. They're really parents in general.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help my wife out. I'm perfecting this craft.
Speaker 1: But the many you could teach them about telling them
Speaker 1: a secret, like whispering to them, and they're kind of
Speaker 1: like caught off guard, like why his dad whispering to me?
Speaker 1: And I beg, Rue, do you want that to tell
Speaker 1: you a secret?
Speaker 5: And she was like come over, she beck yeah, I
Speaker 5: beg no, no, no, you.
Speaker 1: Got a whisper. You gotta whisper? And she beg okay.
Speaker 1: And then whatever you want them, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: get them to do. They're all ears. So she might
Speaker 1: be starting to cry or panic a little bit. This
Speaker 1: is real life experience, boys, and she spazing out. You
Speaker 1: want her to take off her clothes to get her
Speaker 1: to get her in her jamies, but she's pissed and
Speaker 1: run around.
Speaker 5: She wants to jump, she's got to ZOOMI, she wants
Speaker 5: to have fun. You immediately just go to hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 5: do you want me to tell you a secret?
Speaker 1: Come on mine, Hey do you want me to tell
Speaker 1: you secret? You'll be like, all right, come here, come here,
Speaker 1: you gotta whisper, you gotta stay quiet, and then they
Speaker 1: lean in and you're like, You're like, hey, go over
Speaker 1: to mommy and take off your clothes for so we
Speaker 1: can get you in your Jammis it feels weird that
Speaker 1: I'm whispering right now on the podcast. But immediately they'll
Speaker 1: go from freaking out to they are all in on
Speaker 1: executing the secret.
Speaker 5: So that is the power of the secret. No matter
Speaker 5: what you have to you have to whisper.
Speaker 1: You have to get them down to your level, and
Speaker 1: I promise you they will go from one hundred to
Speaker 1: fully focused and ready to execute whatever whatever that secret
Speaker 1: may be. That is one in the toolbox for you guys.
Speaker 1: This is for dads. This is for dads as well.
Speaker 1: If you're home, do bedtime routine together and ultimately take turns.
Speaker 1: Who does story time? Like my wife and I we
Speaker 1: do a good job of doing We do our morning
Speaker 1: routine together, and we do the bedtime routine together. So
Speaker 1: if I'm somebody who's reading the stories at nighttime, this
Speaker 1: is gonna. This is not only good for being a dad,
Speaker 1: this is also good for being a partner, being a husband.
Speaker 1: Is you do the routines together and then you alternate
Speaker 1: who does story times, so that way me around my
Speaker 1: daughter she's used to seeing. She's used to see your
Speaker 1: old man. Because you never want to get behind the change.
Speaker 1: You never want to get behind the sticks to where
Speaker 1: it's like they're all mom everything, they're all you know,
Speaker 1: Mom feels like she's just always in the trenches because
Speaker 1: she's the only one who can handle any type of chaos,
Speaker 1: like the baby always wants mom and never dad.
Speaker 5: This helps you be around at all.
Speaker 1: The moments of the day, whether it's the morning routine,
Speaker 1: the nighttime routine, all of in between. Also going off
Speaker 1: that eating dinner as a family, Charles, she's done an
Speaker 1: incredible job of holding as accountable to do dinner as
Speaker 1: a family.
Speaker 5: I myself like to would like to have been lazy at.
Speaker 1: Times, and then I'll just hey, rue if I might
Speaker 1: want her to in my head because I'm lazier, will
Speaker 1: allow her to watch, say Miss Rachel, and then I'll
Speaker 1: go put or I would want to go put the
Speaker 1: food in front of her and allow her to eat
Speaker 1: and watch TV. That is a massive note that Charles
Speaker 1: never wanted to do. She always wants her to Hey,
Speaker 1: no screen like limit screen time. She gets like around
Speaker 1: an hour a day of like watching Miss Rachel or
Speaker 1: watching something or whether we do movie night on Fridays.
Speaker 1: And Charles's done a great job of making us our
Speaker 1: setting the expectation that we that we do dinner time
Speaker 1: like as a family. So we make her plate whatever
Speaker 1: the wife cooks, maybe your boys on one of them
Speaker 1: factor meals, whatever it is. We're always sitting at the
Speaker 1: dinner table eating together and on the dining room table.
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend Ryan Holiday's Daily Dad each time
Speaker 1: while we're eating rue Now she even tells, she even
Speaker 1: tells Dad, she'd be a dead dad. Read dead Dad,
Speaker 1: read and I'll read whatever the daily the daily word
Speaker 1: is from the Daily Dad. I highly recommend the Daily
Speaker 1: Dad from Ryan Holiday. Pizza Friday and movie night. You
Speaker 1: have your yearly, your annual traditions for holidays and everything else.
Speaker 1: Your boy, your your boy. We love to do pizza
Speaker 1: Friday and movie Night. I've obviously been a big proponent
Speaker 1: of Pizza Friday. Last week my shot I don't no
Speaker 1: free shot out was home Team Pizza that got your
Speaker 1: boy hooked up with a free pizza and a free
Speaker 1: six piece of those buck guys and garlic bites. Pizza
Speaker 1: Friday and movie Night. Rue every Friday now would be hey,
Speaker 1: you Rue, you know what day it is, and she's
Speaker 1: like Pizza Friday and doing like a weekly, weekly little
Speaker 1: family tradition that gets them fired up. Give them chores
Speaker 1: you get there, you make them a part of your tribe.
Speaker 1: This was something I wrote down that I feel like
Speaker 1: it is very good. So after dinner, it'd be like,
Speaker 1: let Waffle out of the pantry because we'll make Waffle
Speaker 1: eat in the pantry so that way she's not you know,
Speaker 1: she loves the eat anything that's dropped on the floor,
Speaker 1: and sometimes she's gotten some bad shit in her mouth
Speaker 1: to where she's like drooling or vomiting, so we have
Speaker 1: to make her eat in the pantry. But one of
Speaker 1: Ru's chores will be back let waffle out of the
Speaker 1: pantry after dinner time, or any mess room makes with
Speaker 1: her toys.
Speaker 5: She knows she has to clean it up.
Speaker 1: Or if you have trash as a parent, Dad's great
Speaker 1: tip you have trash, he's back once you teach them
Speaker 1: how to go throw the trash away. Your trash is
Speaker 1: now there. Trash a great joy for them to do. Umm,
Speaker 1: interrupt them until you love them. That's a sweet lie gesture.
Speaker 1: That's just a nice little breakup. I learned that one
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Exercise before everyone wakes up so you can
Speaker 1: be a part of the morning routine. I know myself,
Speaker 1: I've honestly, I've had a bad week of working out,
Speaker 1: meaning it's been non existing. I haven't worked out this week.
Speaker 1: But anytime, I feel myself in a much better mood,
Speaker 1: a much better way when I do working out first
Speaker 1: thing in the morning.
Speaker 5: So I'll try and work out before rue wakes up.
Speaker 5: So that way you're able to be a part of
Speaker 5: the morning routine.
Speaker 1: So if you're able to be part of that morning routines,
Speaker 1: fit and you gotta you know if you're if you're
Speaker 1: if you don't have.
Speaker 5: To leave for work too early.
Speaker 1: You I base it around all that stuff, workout morning routine,
Speaker 1: then I'll come hang with the boys at the bus. Uh,
Speaker 1: what else do I have another little queasy one. I
Speaker 1: feel actually weird saying this in front of you. Guys
Speaker 1: love on their mother in front of them, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's really good, especially for the girl that's out there.
Speaker 1: You get to like set a standard and kind of
Speaker 1: should be the role model in front of them for
Speaker 1: hopefully what they look for one day in a spouse
Speaker 1: and not some deadbeat, dysfunctional ass clowns out there. That's it,
Speaker 1: That's what I got. Another one that I'm just now
Speaker 1: thinking of that I was using today is going off
Speaker 1: the power of secret, the power of being like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I ask you a question? Because sometimes like say
Speaker 1: I'll go home. Is right now, it's Sunday afternoon, I'll
Speaker 1: go home. If mom puts her down for her nap,
Speaker 1: she's like she almost expects mom to be there when
Speaker 1: she wakes up, or if she's not wanting dad for
Speaker 1: some reason to wake up, I'll like.
Speaker 5: Come inn and sher bag.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they'll just be weirdly fussy that you
Speaker 1: might be there, or they're just upset when they wake up.
Speaker 1: You quickly just immediately hey hey, rue rue, can I
Speaker 1: ask you two questions? And you immediately get their attention
Speaker 1: boom first one, the one that I always default to you,
Speaker 1: how is your nap? Was it good? Did you have
Speaker 1: a dream or who did you dream about? And they
Speaker 1: tell you a story, but Dad gets them, that gets
Speaker 1: their levels. If they're fucking weirdly, having an episode or
Speaker 1: just spazzing out for no reason, you simply interject and say, hey,
Speaker 1: can I ask you two questions? And for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that makes them feel like, oh Dad needs me for
Speaker 1: some oh mom needs me for something. So those are
Speaker 1: my dad tips on my first two years of parenting.
Speaker 1: Hopefully there's dads out there. If you're listening and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's on some game or you have another dad tip,
Speaker 1: drop him in the comments. We'd love to know. We'd
Speaker 1: love to build this dad club together. But those are
Speaker 1: my dad tips. Boys. Any any that you guys might
Speaker 1: know about from your old man or something that you
Speaker 1: might have had as a kid that you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: this would be a good any any type of advice.
Speaker 1: Student of the game, I'm always down GP. I feel
Speaker 1: like you usually have something. You usually just have something
Speaker 1: for me. Just sometimes just out of the blue and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh that boy JP hit me that one
Speaker 1: video I said Oh my gosh, that's a great one.
Speaker 1: We're It was basically like you're here to be memories
Speaker 1: for your kids. Yeah, that was a banger, which is incredible.
Speaker 1: Run the video, Mitch. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I mean I think I'm better with like ages five
Speaker 10: through kind of like probably eighteen, but I think with
Speaker 10: the young kids because my fiance she has some young nieces,
Speaker 10: I don't know. I have a pretty easy time getting
Speaker 10: into like the mind of a little kid. So I
Speaker 10: can play the games with them, and it's like if
Speaker 10: you're playing like Freeze Tag or you know, like if
Speaker 10: they touch you, then like you can't move your arm,
Speaker 10: but then the only way you can move your arm
Speaker 10: again is if they touch it. So then it comes
Speaker 10: back to life and there they start freaking out. But
Speaker 10: I think something probably good for because I feel like
Speaker 10: dads maybe sometimes have a harder time.
Speaker 11: Connecting with their kids.
Speaker 10: It's just like getting you just get on the floor
Speaker 10: with your kid and like that's where you play because
Speaker 10: that's where they're at. And anytime you get the level, yeah,
Speaker 10: you go to their level, and it just I feel
Speaker 10: like it makes everything easier.
Speaker 11: I don't have kids, but yeah, no, you're.
Speaker 1: Gonna cry you'll crush it. You'll crush it too, Dave.
Speaker 1: I barely know you, but I feel like you'll crush it.
Speaker 1: But no, for sure, we got all your boy, we'll
Speaker 1: get your act on it. Between that two and five,
Speaker 1: JP came over yesterday, had to shoot this, uh, we
Speaker 1: had to shoot this stuff for shell gas station shadow
Speaker 1: no free Shadow.
Speaker 5: And this morning when RU woke up and we're like,
Speaker 5: you know what you dream about?
Speaker 1: And she honest like she'll just rattle off everything from
Speaker 1: her memory like her grandparents, Like she you should just start.
Speaker 1: She names everything and she beg, jetpe JETP, you're you're jappie.
Speaker 1: Let's go and then she'll be back. When we went
Speaker 1: downstairs and I pushed in the car and we played
Speaker 1: like Chase or something like that, and she's like, jetpe
Speaker 1: jet P. I was like, yeah, you played with JETP
Speaker 1: yesterday and I was like, oh, he's not he's not
Speaker 1: coming today. He's not coming today.
Speaker 5: You'll crush that. We'll get you acting made between two
Speaker 5: and five. But you're you're spot on.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I feel like when you say like, uh, dads,
Speaker 1: they can't connect with their kids as well. I just
Speaker 1: to me, in my opinion, I feel like it's like
Speaker 1: just one of those ingrained societal things that's kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, dads aren't necessarily in the mix for all
Speaker 1: the little things that mom does all the time. Like
Speaker 1: I know, like talking to my dad, it seemed like
Speaker 1: he didn't really change many diapers. Yeah, so I knew
Speaker 1: my mom was always like she did everything right or
Speaker 1: if something's going on, by oh tell your mom or
Speaker 1: something like that, versus like my wife, she does a
Speaker 1: great job holding the line on like, hey, I'm in
Speaker 1: this thing for a partnership, not a I do all
Speaker 1: the motherly roles. In her opinion, it's like bullshit that
Speaker 1: like mothers are better nurtures than men. I think like
Speaker 1: mothers are better nurtures. But I also think the truth
Speaker 1: to that is like, yeah, I don't think there's always
Speaker 1: that effort put in from the male side of like
Speaker 1: being on their level and being intentional with doing stuff
Speaker 1: and making sure you're around in all of those moments
Speaker 1: so that way, you know, you're just part of their life.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's like kids are I forget what the exact
Speaker 10: quote is, but it's like kids are the only people
Speaker 10: on this earth that like strive to have a relationship
Speaker 10: with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, of the.
Speaker 10: Seven billion people in the world, only your kids are
Speaker 10: ones that are like all in on wanting to be
Speaker 10: a part of your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel like it might. Like Jordan Peterson,
Speaker 1: I have a clip like if you're their number one relationship,
Speaker 1: Like all they want is a relationship with it, which
Speaker 1: is true, I say. And going off the video that
Speaker 1: you said, like we're here for their memories, there's another
Speaker 1: video I saw that's like they say that kids can't
Speaker 1: remember anything before four.
Speaker 5: So they were talking about the gift. Of the gift
Speaker 5: is them.
Speaker 1: Being there for you and your own memories up until
Speaker 1: then and embracing it. But all the dad ship, bro,
Speaker 1: it is the greatest thing in the fucking world. It
Speaker 1: does get harder times, it very much does, but it's
Speaker 1: been so fun. I can't you know, like on what
Speaker 1: trying to get more.
Speaker 6: How do you feel about like technology and stuff when
Speaker 6: it comes to kids, Huh.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: You're saying like allowing them to do screen time or
Speaker 5: allowing them to use it.
Speaker 7: Well, like one thing that I see a lot, and
Speaker 7: it kind of pisses me off because I remember like
Speaker 7: growing up and stuff like the parents will like they'll
Speaker 7: be out, for example, when you go out to dinner
Speaker 7: and they just give their kid like an iPad or
Speaker 7: their phone or like a little play pad or whatever,
Speaker 7: and they're just locked in on this and like you're
Speaker 7: just essentially like on a date.
Speaker 6: With your wife or whatever.
Speaker 7: Like when I would grow up, like when we would
Speaker 7: go out to dinner, we would play Hangman, or like
Speaker 7: we would get the coloring sheets and my dad and
Speaker 7: I or my parents and I would like we would
Speaker 7: color when we would play play paper football and like
Speaker 7: flicking stuff. Like I hate, say, I hate when I'm
Speaker 7: when you go out to dinner, you just seed little
Speaker 7: kids locked in on a device. Yeah, and like not
Speaker 7: having that like conversation and stuff like with your like
Speaker 7: hanging out with your parents and stuff.
Speaker 1: No, no, I agree, I mean rue, she can't play
Speaker 1: Hangman right now? Well no, I'm playing flick football. But yeah,
Speaker 1: getting the coloring sheet we like obviously, like when you're
Speaker 1: whether you're around friends and sometimes you just learn things
Speaker 1: like you don't want to do like as your partnership,
Speaker 1: like some parents they do the We've we've known friends
Speaker 1: where they have their iPad, they have headphones, they're locked
Speaker 1: in and they're just obsessed with the screen or like
Speaker 1: playing the game where they get fussy, so they just
Speaker 1: give them an iPad. Uh, we don't have her and
Speaker 1: any like dude. For Rue, it's literally like Blue or
Speaker 1: Miss Rachel. It'll be like a little before dinner and
Speaker 1: then maybe after dinner, depending on like how she is,
Speaker 1: because usually we try to get her to go outside,
Speaker 1: so that's when we can like throw the ball with Waffle.
Speaker 1: But I mean, uh, like Charlet does a great job,
Speaker 1: like when we're out and doing stuff like Charlo has
Speaker 1: been somebody from after doing the like maternity leave stuff
Speaker 1: like not wanting to being like intentional with like hey
Speaker 1: if I still want to go do these things out
Speaker 1: and about, Like I'm just gonna bring Rue versus basing
Speaker 1: everything around roof schedule. It's like we have the structure
Speaker 1: around Rue, but bringing her all that stuff like when
Speaker 1: we brought her to Italy and everything else, like getting
Speaker 1: her in activities like for socializing, like she does gymnastics. Uh,
Speaker 1: she does ballet, obviously I dropped that sickhilight tape on ballet.
Speaker 1: What else does she do? She does swimming swimming lessons,
Speaker 1: so she'll be busy like three out of the you know,
Speaker 1: three out of the five days of the week, and
Speaker 1: then on weekends it's like in the morning times we'll
Speaker 1: always go out to eat or we always do something,
Speaker 1: whether it's make breakfast and make her a part of it.
Speaker 1: But as far as like screen time and everything else,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: I feel like you figure out in your partnership with
Speaker 1: like how you want to raise them, because I do
Speaker 1: feel like Tarl and I are trying to be very
Speaker 1: intentional about the things that we do with rue to
Speaker 1: where when we say we take her out the like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's not really the only time we would have her
Speaker 1: look at a video on the phone, and she likes
Speaker 1: to watch herself, whether it's when she did trick or
Speaker 1: treating that video was hot for a while, or I
Speaker 1: put the highlights of her ballet so that way we
Speaker 1: can do her hair, mom can do her hair braided
Speaker 1: or whatever. You just play that in front of her.
Speaker 1: But yeah, as far as iPads, phones and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: we don't.
Speaker 11: We don't.
Speaker 1: We don't, like, I guess allow that. Or if we're
Speaker 1: on the plane and she's sitting in the middle seat,
Speaker 1: we have like a backpack with like whether it's stickers,
Speaker 1: putting on, the putting on the books and some interactive
Speaker 1: playthings that she does. So it's not like it's not
Speaker 1: like I have like a strong stance, like I think
Speaker 1: that's all. That's ridiculous. What do you got? JP? Is
Speaker 1: it my shorts?
Speaker 11: No, I'm just taking a photo.
Speaker 5: Usually you got like a real tweets from this spot.
Speaker 1: Anytime that one goes up in JP's behind the phone,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh fuck, what's about that?
Speaker 5: But it's not like I sit there. You know, different
Speaker 5: strokes for different folks.
Speaker 1: Like I know every parent's trying doing their best, but
Speaker 1: I know like we do try and think about screen time.
Speaker 1: Like we're around Baktyari and they have their little win
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, we don't do any screen time, and
Speaker 1: so it makes me think in my head like, oh,
Speaker 1: should we go from whatever screen time we do to zero?
Speaker 1: And you know, I wonder why this? And you get
Speaker 1: caught up in comparing, which I think sucks. But no,
Speaker 1: the stuff that we do, yeah, yeah, it's not like
Speaker 1: again they answer your question. Yeah, we're not big proponents
Speaker 1: in all the screen time stuff. And if she does
Speaker 1: do it we hope it's like like BLUEI has their
Speaker 1: like ten minute episodes. Miss Rachel's like very interactive like
Speaker 1: learning education. It'll be way tougher when they're older.
Speaker 11: I think that's the trickiest screen time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, which it's kind of like I don't necessarily know.
Speaker 1: I think it's just as you go, you try and
Speaker 1: learn and make the best decisions you can, because we
Speaker 1: grew up differently than everybody else, right, But at the
Speaker 1: same time, the world's ever evolving, and so is technology.
Speaker 1: So technology is going to be a part of their life,
Speaker 1: and so I feel like it's just like trying to
Speaker 1: be intentional about what styles of technologies they're using, how
Speaker 1: they're using it, making sure you're, you know, they're not
Speaker 1: getting in things that they shouldn't be, Like you see
Speaker 1: this stuff quiet on set coming out and about how
Speaker 1: you know, and just the predators out there and everything
Speaker 1: else going on, like being in their lives to where
Speaker 1: you're keeping them or trying to guard them or keep
Speaker 1: them from making bad decisions. But ultimately I think it's
Speaker 1: like you're trying to instill in like your core values
Speaker 1: and doing all this routine stuff like really being intentionally
Speaker 1: in their lives and if they tell you something, being
Speaker 1: like oh, I'm really glad you're talking to me about this,
Speaker 1: or encouraging conversations so that way they feel like they
Speaker 1: can you'll pick your brain. And I feel like they
Speaker 1: have to height stuff or I have to do different things.
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting and that makes me nervous. But I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 10: Florida is trying to sign a bill and maybe De
Speaker 10: Santis states sign it, but and it would be so
Speaker 10: hard to But I like the sentiment of it. But
Speaker 10: no social media for kids age like under fifteen, it's
Speaker 10: like illegal, which I think would be super beneficial.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there are a lot of like pros of that,
Speaker 1: and I would be interested to hearing like the arguments
Speaker 1: against it, because I'm sure there's like fair points. But
Speaker 1: with in mind, no, we know how we know how
Speaker 1: we were when we were young, and we just if
Speaker 1: we had all this access and everything else, we would
Speaker 1: love it and be obsessed with it.
Speaker 5: But there'd be a lot of things that just wouldn't
Speaker 5: be good for us, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm thinking about how I was back
Speaker 1: in the day, like just who knows what I would
Speaker 1: have been up to on social media? That could have
Speaker 1: played against the places we are now. I have no clue,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's it's all fascinating with that technology stuff. Man.
Speaker 1: But let's get into Marshall Faulk. How long we've been going, Mitch,
Speaker 1: there we go our fifteen. This would be uh, this
Speaker 1: was longer than anticipate. I thought I was gonna have
Speaker 1: to just come up with different things. But we you know,
Speaker 1: we still need twisted, still need twists. Oh yeah, what's
Speaker 1: their twisted question? Our twisted question? Brought to us by
Speaker 1: Twisted Tea. Twisted Tea is a refreshing, hard eyed team
Speaker 1: made with a real brewe tee and five percent alcohol.

Speaker 1: us from Mitch Carsley, which comes to us from Dylan
Speaker 1: Guy forty four on Twitter.
Speaker 5: Dylan Guy forty four on Twitter who.
Speaker 7: Would you rather try and survive two hours in a
Speaker 7: gladiator style ring with twenty Stephen Hawkings but their chairs
Speaker 7: go thirty miles an hour or ten Helen Kellers with pistols.
Speaker 5: And just just educating hell and Kellers blind in death.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep with pistol yep.
Speaker 11: Wait, what does Stephen Hawking have?
Speaker 5: I think Stephen Hawking.
Speaker 6: I think it's twenty Stephen Hawkings with their chairs go
Speaker 6: thirty miles an hour. So they came off hit you.
Speaker 11: Oh right, I'm dumbying him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because to me, it's like you got to take
Speaker 1: one blow and right when he's about to approach you,
Speaker 1: because all thirty of those chairs are coming at you.
Speaker 1: You just you jump the fuckers and shoal you putty
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, but you jump on the first one
Speaker 1: and put his shoulder right into his chin. All those
Speaker 1: other chairs are gonna come in and they're I mean
Speaker 1: fucking these Wheelchairsy're gonna have to figure out how to
Speaker 1: back up and turn around. I'll be sleeping them while
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out how to maneuver.
Speaker 11: Hey, you knock one wheelchair over there, they're out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Literally just oh they all ran in each other
Speaker 1: start picking them up and flipping them on their back.
Speaker 6: I mean, thirty miles an hour is pretty fast.
Speaker 1: But once again, they're all going to try and collide.
Speaker 1: It's not like they're gonna unless they're trying to scheme.
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna sleep all the Stephen Hawkings, Bro, it's
Speaker 1: only eight miles per hour faster than Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 6: I think Helen Kellers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you they got pistols like they can't hear.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're shooting themselves, they spraying, but maybe they'd be
Speaker 1: shooting each other though, Jpeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, y'all never been in a shootout.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephen Hawking like, yeah, we'll be dropping well yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I drop twenty Stephen Hawkings before they can
Speaker 1: get typed out whatever their strategy is when they communicate
Speaker 1: with each other, because.
Speaker 11: Even if once they hit you, I can take the hit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about what twenty mile an hour?
Speaker 6: Thirty thirty Yeah, thirty miles an hour is pretty fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again you don't you don't believe in yourself
Speaker 1: against twenty Stephen Hawkings. I'm just saying I like I
Speaker 1: you like your chances with twenty pistols being fired.
Speaker 6: Ten there's tens twenty Stephen Hawkings are ten Helen Kellers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but all it takes is one to hit you, bro,
Speaker 5: and you're down.
Speaker 1: You could get hit by a chair and you could.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be down, not gonna be dead.
Speaker 5: Yeah, You're not gonna be dead. It's like once they hit.
Speaker 1: You, then what like, what are they You're just gonna
Speaker 1: keep running you over.
Speaker 11: It's not like that.
Speaker 1: It's not like they're at thirty miles an hours immediately.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to build and have some acceleration. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have to maneuver out of their little short space.
Speaker 1: And I do well in tight spaces. I thought I
Speaker 1: played ten years.
Speaker 6: I fell off a car going twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 1: And same fell or jumped.
Speaker 7: I was my girlfriend at the time was forgot like
Speaker 7: started driving and I like just playing a joke, and
Speaker 7: I like hopped on the back of her car. She
Speaker 7: forgot I was there for a second and then like
Speaker 7: sped up and I started sliding and hit the pavement.
Speaker 1: Course.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that you hanging on to a car.
Speaker 1: Imagine you're he They're taking off thirty and you fucking
Speaker 1: got Stephen Hawking, You're behind him choking his bitch ass out.
Speaker 1: I would hit the little swear and then I'm on
Speaker 1: the wheelchair.
Speaker 5: Yes, bro, you sleep one of them, pull them off
Speaker 5: the wheelchair.

Speaker 1: Commenting during the episode, here's Marshall Falk. He's an incredible interview.
Speaker 1: As a young Missouri boy growing up, obviously I was
Speaker 1: I was pulled in a lot of different directions.
Speaker 5: Whoever was winning was usually was usually who I was
Speaker 5: rooting for.
Speaker 1: And when the Rams became the greatest show on turf,
Speaker 1: everyone was a Marshall Falk fan.
Speaker 5: So this was an incredible interview.
Speaker 1: It was really fun to get to sit down with
Speaker 1: somebody that you grew up kind of watching, who was
Speaker 1: a superstar in your area at one point in time. So,
Speaker 1: without further ado, Marshall Falk, big hugs, tiny kisses, Marshall Falk.
Speaker 2: Let's give a ratto applause for Marshall Fulk.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely legend.
Speaker 1: Did you just flew in just now? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I got in yeah, earlier today, earlier today.
Speaker 1: I grew up in our south. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're familiar with Festus or Farmington, Missouri. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: you're a legend, bro, thank you. You are a legend.
Speaker 1: And it was it's a it's a pleasure to have
Speaker 1: you on our podcast. Right on man uh you right
Speaker 1: before the show we were talking and you saw the
Speaker 1: Nebraska shot out the Big Red. But you mentioned that
Speaker 1: Osbourne coach. Osbourne was the first coach. He said, you
Speaker 1: couldn't play.
Speaker 3: Running coach, first coach and he was he was honest,
Speaker 3: Like first day I was there, you sit in with
Speaker 3: him and and this before you go to your position meeting,
Speaker 3: and he asked, he you know what, so so what
Speaker 3: do you what position you think you can play here
Speaker 3: on Nebraska and you know like this this the early nineties,
Speaker 3: Nebraka Roland.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the only reason I took I took a visit
Speaker 3: because Mickey Joseph, who's from New Orleans as well, had
Speaker 3: just became the quarterback there and I was and I thought,
Speaker 3: because I'm I'm right in between Mickey and Vance advanced.
Speaker 3: Joseph is Mickey Joseph's younger brother, so I'm in between
Speaker 3: them two. And I was like, man, if I go,
Speaker 3: I get a year to play with Mickey and then
Speaker 3: I'll play with Vans because I thought Advance was coming there.
Speaker 3: Fans ended up ended up going to Colorado.
Speaker 1: So did did Nebraska offer? They did? They did?
Speaker 3: But I had to play corner? Really yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: you were like, I mean you were an athlete, listen, man,
Speaker 3: Coach Osborne is a legend.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They when he was at Nebraska, they turned out so
Speaker 3: many athletes, so many first rounders, So, I mean he
Speaker 3: knew what he was talking about. I was a pretty
Speaker 3: good corner, but I had to love I had to
Speaker 3: love for playing running back. So it's a little different.
Speaker 1: Was all your offers kind of split? Like your teams
Speaker 1: wanting you to play corner? Teams wanted to play running back.
Speaker 3: Most of them wanted me to play corner.
Speaker 1: So that's when is that a probably the biggest reason?
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, no, because on offense they were lazy
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna tell you what happened after all. Right,
Speaker 3: So so I played quarterback. Receiver, running back, but on offense,
Speaker 3: I was just a corner cover corner, so they couldn't
Speaker 3: tell what I played on offense. And right after that
Speaker 3: happened about I'm gonna say right around maybe ninety four
Speaker 3: ninety five, they created the position called athlete. So when
Speaker 3: you recruit a guy, you recruit him, you just get
Speaker 3: an athlete. Yeah, because they realized, damn, if we'd have
Speaker 3: got him in here, found out he could play multiple positions.
Speaker 3: But back then they had the recruited position. You had
Speaker 3: to play a position. You couldn't just be an athlete.
Speaker 2: If Tom Osborne would have came in and been like, listen,
Speaker 2: you're a hell of an athlete. We see you can
Speaker 2: play all over the place, utilize you in ways no
Speaker 2: one's ever seen before you went to Nebraska, it.
Speaker 3: Would have been easy. I mean, it would have been
Speaker 3: an easy decision. I mean, Nebraska was like cream of
Speaker 3: the crop early ninety reference to I mean eighty eight,
Speaker 3: eighty nine, ninety they were dominating fools many.
Speaker 1: That's gotta feel good to hear, dude, It does feel
Speaker 1: good to hear. It sucks that we didn't, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like Osbourne, it happened cornerback. Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 2: I was to the University of Missions. I have to
Speaker 2: ask Michigan off for you, No, who's in your top?
Speaker 1: Who's in your top?
Speaker 3: Was Michigan wasn't recruiting and you know they weren't recruiting
Speaker 3: in the South like that, Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, note your dame.
Speaker 3: They had that idea of they wanted people who played
Speaker 3: in cold weather. That's that's the kind of They didn't
Speaker 3: understand the difference in speed in the South versus the North.
Speaker 1: Who's your top three? And why did you choose San
Speaker 1: Diego State?
Speaker 3: San Diego State wasn't even in the runnings it was
Speaker 3: it was Nebraska, Miami and Texas, A and m So.
Speaker 1: Why San Diego State.
Speaker 3: I took a trip out there. I was like, I
Speaker 3: want to live here. This is nice. Man, at the
Speaker 3: plain Land, you take the one sixty three down you're
Speaker 3: you're riding. I'm like, I've never seen anything this beautiful,
Speaker 3: and the only thing I could think of, Yes, I
Speaker 3: get to spend maybe four or five years out of school,
Speaker 3: but I get to live here the rest of my life.
Speaker 3: And so I live in San Diego. In San Diego
Speaker 3: lawyer Laoya.
Speaker 2: So when I was training, I would be in a
Speaker 2: Lucadia Carlsbata's area. Dude. It was we'd stay like on
Speaker 2: the bluff, hang out, like just a way of living
Speaker 2: out there. Like so California really just can't.
Speaker 1: Beat it, dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I fell in love with it my trip out there,
Speaker 3: I just I fell in love with I fell in
Speaker 3: love with the city. The school so open, and it's
Speaker 3: just like and then it was like a melting pot,
Speaker 3: like I mean, and I was I had never been
Speaker 3: around any Asians, no Mexicans. I was like, there's everything
Speaker 3: at this school. Like the diversity was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: What was the process like going into the draft? Because
Speaker 1: you were number two overall? Right, number two, number two overall?
Speaker 1: Talk about that because obviously like running back, now you
Speaker 1: got somebody in the top ten, it's like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: a big leap. Like back when you were running back,
Speaker 1: Like the running back was the premier spot that you
Speaker 1: drafted at you signed guys like you built around the
Speaker 1: running back.
Speaker 3: Guess what we didn't do in college? The running backs
Speaker 3: that got drafted early that you see going one, two, three,
Speaker 3: guess what we didn't do in college? We didn't share
Speaker 3: the backfield. You watch college down you got three and
Speaker 3: four guys playing. I'm like, who's the guy? You can't
Speaker 3: tell who the guy is. Yeah, and so if you
Speaker 3: don't step up demand. Look, hey, I want to carry
Speaker 3: the ball twenty twenty five times a game, and then
Speaker 3: you're not gonna get it. The position and I'm saying it,
Speaker 3: the position has been devalued by the guys who want
Speaker 3: to share time. Even in the pros, these guys come out. Man,
Speaker 3: I never wanted to come out of the game. I
Speaker 3: didn't want somebody taking my spot, right, and now it's
Speaker 3: like to run two carries like they'll less somebody else
Speaker 3: then right, right.
Speaker 2: It's got to make you appreciate a guy like Derek
Speaker 2: Henry then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Derek Henry, Christan McCaffrey, Kristen don't come in.
Speaker 7: For me, right.
Speaker 1: I saw I actually read recently. I think there's just
Speaker 1: an article on it about CMC talking about how he's
Speaker 1: connected with you in the off seasons or you giving
Speaker 1: him advice feedback. I think it was like you and
Speaker 1: Ladanian Tomlinson taking care of your body, just kind of
Speaker 1: being like Christians, kind of like that that style that
Speaker 1: you were where you're you can do everything. You can
Speaker 1: catch out of the backfield, you can line up at receiver,
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, talk about talk about meeting
Speaker 1: him and how you been Uh kind of I guess
Speaker 1: a mentor uh and during his career.
Speaker 3: I mean I wish I could say I was a mentor.
Speaker 3: The kid is such astute and obviously we know his
Speaker 3: father is is the pedigreed is there. But what I
Speaker 3: love is in today's game, very few guys reach out.
Speaker 3: They I got it, I know. And the fact that
Speaker 3: you know, he'll call and he'll ask certain things and
Speaker 3: he's not asking for pointers on how to hit the hole,
Speaker 3: and he's like, how do I longevity? You played thirteen years?
Speaker 3: How do I do this? How do I add? What
Speaker 3: did you change about your workouts when you got to
Speaker 3: this age? What did you you know? The things that
Speaker 3: you want to know to to like next level, which
Speaker 3: is how to maintain your body, how to take care
Speaker 3: of yourself. And and that's that's what he's doing. It's
Speaker 3: it's not about what happens on the field, is about
Speaker 3: what happens off the field. And he's smart enough to
Speaker 3: understand the game is going to be played. You just
Speaker 3: got to be out there to be to play it
Speaker 3: the best, the best, the best, the best. When you
Speaker 3: have talent and you see it, the best ability is
Speaker 3: your availability.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, with going back to San Diego, San Diego State,
Speaker 2: when you're having all these big offers and you just
Speaker 2: go to a place and the location to you is like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is where I want to be, Like, was there
Speaker 2: any family members? I was like, listen, you have an
Speaker 2: opportunity to go to the NFL. Here are you sure
Speaker 2: you want to go to stand.
Speaker 1: To Miami, but to Miami in the nineties.
Speaker 3: But listen, and I'm gonna be like, I'll be honest
Speaker 3: with you guys. On my high school football team in
Speaker 3: four years, I probably won like six games. Like we
Speaker 3: were we sucked, like you couldn't tell. But everybody we
Speaker 3: played like you could, like I scored on when we
Speaker 3: played against the really good teams, Like I wasn't on
Speaker 3: a good team. So it wasn't like you saw in me,
Speaker 3: Oh he could go to the NFL. It was like
Speaker 3: you people didn't know, right, they didn't see it. So
Speaker 3: when I got to se Diego State and all right
Speaker 3: now I'm not playing running back receiver quarterback, dB kicker, punter,
Speaker 3: return kicks, punts. Like when I walked on the fielding
Speaker 3: in high school, I didn't come off till halftime. Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I did everything and when the and when
Speaker 3: the kicker was okay, I held for him. So I
Speaker 3: did everything. So they didn't really get a chance to see.
Speaker 3: So I get to San Diego State now it's just
Speaker 3: like that's all I do is play running back. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, this is easy. Are you kidding me? I
Speaker 3: get I get the rest while the defenses out there.
Speaker 3: Oh man, way easier.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It was like night and day.
Speaker 2: So if you didn't know in high school, like for
Speaker 2: for me, I I tell a story that I got
Speaker 2: offered by Utah State going into my senior year and
Speaker 2: that was like, Okay, I'm gonna go to the NFL.
Speaker 2: And when we're for you where you're like, okay, I'm
Speaker 2: for sure maybe not going to have the success that
Speaker 2: you've eventually had, but like what did you know, Like
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be an NFL football player.
Speaker 3: Second, my second game in college literally first game didn't
Speaker 3: go well. First game, first game, I didn't I didn't
Speaker 3: play much. Yeah, and I got in it was like
Speaker 3: we we we played. I think it was like long
Speaker 3: beach date. And I got in and I had a
Speaker 3: couple of good runs and then I, you know, tried
Speaker 3: to tried to do a little too much and did
Speaker 3: a spin move in the ball flew in the air.
Speaker 11: I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: And then the next the next game, I don't play
Speaker 3: the first quarter. First play, first play of the second quarter,
Speaker 3: hour starting running back was the punt returner. He gets
Speaker 3: hitting the thigh and he's out and coach grabs my
Speaker 3: face mask. The only thing he says is hold on
Speaker 3: to the ball, and so so from right right hold
Speaker 3: on to the ball. So I ended up playing the
Speaker 3: rest of the second quarter, the third quarter, and half
Speaker 3: of the fourth. In that time, I'd rushed for three
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty nine yards and seven touchdowns. Literally, people
Speaker 3: get mad at me because they because because after that,
Speaker 3: like I think after that year, they shut down the
Speaker 3: football program. It was University of Pacific literally ended in time. Literally,
Speaker 3: that's what they say you.
Speaker 2: They don't shut down programs anymore. That is nuts me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. We interrupt this episode with Marshall Falk

Speaker 3: about was the wintertime. I was just like, man, it's
Speaker 3: how cold it was when I was there, So I
Speaker 3: kept I was happy that we played indoors, but at
Speaker 3: that point in time, they didn't have an indoor practice facility.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my first year. My first year, we didn't
Speaker 3: have an indoor practice facility. So it was, uh, it
Speaker 3: wasn't It wasn't as bad as I thought. It's it's
Speaker 3: so different when you like in college, how you see
Speaker 3: things too in the pros, Like you grow up real
Speaker 3: fast when you like you're a rookie. Halfway through the season,
Speaker 3: it starts to get starts to get cold, and you're
Speaker 3: you're in the locker room and you're in the huddle

Speaker 3: You're like, man, this like this guy gotta feed his kids.
Speaker 3: They got like like the game. For some people, it's
Speaker 3: not really a game. It's like it's their livelihood and
Speaker 3: they take it serious.
Speaker 1: And that was that.
Speaker 3: That's like a that's like a whole nother transition seeing
Speaker 3: the game for what it is, but make it, but
Speaker 3: trying to make sure that it's still fun for you
Speaker 3: because the funk can go out of it real quick.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be. Like the hardest thing though, is realizing
Speaker 2: how much of a business it is, especially like high school,
Speaker 2: Like all your boys, like you win in six games
Speaker 2: your entire hot, but every single Friday, the boys are
Speaker 2: hyped up. Yeah, after how it was for you boys,
Speaker 2: but hey, it's like how we're going to find a
Speaker 2: toll pack of beer after this? You know, chase a
Speaker 2: couple of girls around like.
Speaker 3: The same thing.
Speaker 2: But you're all kind of like doing doing your thing.
Speaker 2: And then you go to college and it's like a
Speaker 2: little more obviously more serious, but like no one's got
Speaker 2: no one's married, no one has families, Like you're still
Speaker 2: like all as a community going and doing the same thing.
Speaker 2: Across San Diego.
Speaker 1: You're all chasing the NFL.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're all chasing the NFL. And you get
Speaker 2: the NFL and it's like now you're twenty one years
Speaker 2: old and there's thirty two year old dudes, three kids growing.
Speaker 2: Then they go, they do their business and they leave.
Speaker 2: You're like, yo, you want to you want to hang out.
Speaker 2: They're like, noah, dog, what are you talking about. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go see my family. Like how difficult was that
Speaker 2: for you to kind of like realize and keep the
Speaker 2: fun when it was so business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you obviously like you got to have the right
Speaker 3: support system around you because a lot of the dudes
Speaker 3: in the locker room they're not when it's over, You're
Speaker 3: not going to play Madden like, you're not going to
Speaker 3: hang out. Yeah, And your priorities start to change, and
Speaker 3: you start to understand how much of a business it
Speaker 3: is and you have to start. Yeah, the game is
Speaker 3: fun and you're getting paid a lot of money, and
Speaker 3: it's a business and they expect you to do your
Speaker 3: job and if you if you don't, if you don't
Speaker 3: do the things you're supposed to do, the fund can
Speaker 3: go out of it really quick, really quick.
Speaker 1: How do you feel like your professionalism in like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, acclimating yourself to the league as a running
Speaker 1: back developed over time, especially as a younger guy like
Speaker 1: you were alluding to, you know, talking with Christian about
Speaker 1: like maintaining your body and everything like that, Like how
Speaker 1: did you develop as a pro uh in the early
Speaker 1: part of your career.
Speaker 3: That what what I told him and the things that
Speaker 3: I say to him, and it Spant told it to me.
Speaker 3: Thurman Thomas told it to me, Ronnie Harmon, Like these
Speaker 3: old heads they if you ask the veterans will tell
Speaker 3: you what to do, Like they'll give you the information
Speaker 3: on how to have a long a long career and
Speaker 3: how to last and and and how to how to
Speaker 3: community continue to be productive in your latter years. I mean,
Speaker 3: it wasn't a hard thing. Actually what what what is
Speaker 3: hard is early in your career, making sure that you
Speaker 3: do an off season, you remain in shape, you don't
Speaker 3: go party with your boys. Later in your career, making
Speaker 3: sure that you value you value the time that you
Speaker 3: get to train and don't oh, I got to take
Speaker 3: my kids here, I got to go here with the wife,
Speaker 3: the time that we get. Those thirteen years that I played,
Speaker 3: it's like a blip in my life, Like it was
Speaker 3: such a fun time. But when I look back at it,
Speaker 3: I was like, man, that seemed like so long, But
Speaker 3: it was. It went so fast, so cherishing in the
Speaker 3: moments that you have and the responsibilities to making sure
Speaker 3: that you are the best that you can be. It's
Speaker 3: a responsibility that you got to take on because when
Speaker 3: I'm in the huddle, you know what, I want you
Speaker 3: to know when you're looking at me, that you can
Speaker 3: come at me. I want you to know that I
Speaker 3: did the things that I was supposed to do an
Speaker 3: off season to be here, and I got you, and
Speaker 3: I need to know you did the same thing.
Speaker 2: How was it difficult for you to ask for that
Speaker 2: guidance and help from those older guys?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Uh huh, No, I'm so. I'm the youngest.
Speaker 1: I I got.
Speaker 3: I got five older brothers. I'm the youngest of six,
Speaker 3: and I learned, you know, I learned by watching them
Speaker 3: and asking them. And I didn't have to repeat they
Speaker 3: paid the dummy tax. I didn't have to pay it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's fair of being the youngest. You kind
Speaker 1: of have to go by it like the humble way,
Speaker 1: because if not the older, your older brothers will humble you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're both, we're both the oldest. Goheaba, No, did you
Speaker 1: have one? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, was there ever, like somebody you
Speaker 2: reached out to for help, that was like you got
Speaker 2: to figure out for yourself.
Speaker 3: Nah, because I was select I was always selective. What
Speaker 3: I did was I made sure that I formed some
Speaker 3: type of relationship with the person before I engaged and
Speaker 3: asked for help. And I think that's what you do.
Speaker 3: You just call somebody up and say hey. You don't
Speaker 3: ask them about their life, you know, don't find out
Speaker 3: about anything that motivates them. You know, you don't find
Speaker 3: out if y'all have any commonalities. You just ask them.
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of cheesy. Call somebody, you get
Speaker 3: to know them, and that's what christ and they say, Hey, man,
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan, huge fan of yours. Always loved
Speaker 3: your game, Like like we had a conversation about where
Speaker 3: I was at in life and what I was doing
Speaker 3: and how things are going before we got into anything
Speaker 3: about ball. Yeah, And I think there's just a respectful
Speaker 3: way to go about it. Who is that rival running
Speaker 3: back that you always just kept your eye on that
Speaker 3: all of them, every every back that I took to,
Speaker 3: I didn't care where you were drafted, how good you were.
Speaker 3: I wanted to be the best running back on the field. Actually,
Speaker 3: I wanted to be the best football player on the
Speaker 3: field period. That's what I always thought about. I never
Speaker 3: looked at it as as a position, like I always
Speaker 3: looked at myself as a football player like I was
Speaker 3: never I wasn't a running back or receiver or slot like.
Speaker 3: I didn't want labels. I was like, I can play
Speaker 3: the game of I'm a football player.
Speaker 1: Right, I was I gonna ask? It was so tasting
Speaker 1: the business for the first time, Like you get traded
Speaker 1: to Saint Louis. Before you get traded, you have some
Speaker 1: turf toe that you're battling a couple of years.
Speaker 3: Before you did your homework.
Speaker 1: Listen, man, Marshall Fulk, you're on the man cover. You
Speaker 1: seeing the jerseys transition of navy blue and gold, like
Speaker 1: you're Marshall Fulk. So yes, I know a little bit
Speaker 1: about but tasting the business for the first time, like
Speaker 1: walk us through that, like because you know you're you're
Speaker 1: drafted second overall, like you're the man, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you get traded for a couple of
Speaker 1: picks to Saint Louis, Like talk up at that relationship
Speaker 1: and kind of seeing the business for what it is
Speaker 1: with Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was ready for change, and I think Indianapolis
Speaker 3: they were as long as because my last year there
Speaker 3: in ninety eight, I almost did a thousand thousand. Like
Speaker 3: I was like, we sucked, but I had an amazing year.
Speaker 3: I almost did a thousand thousand, yeah, you know, and
Speaker 3: we only won like three or four games. So I
Speaker 3: was putting in work. But what they realized was that
Speaker 3: people were still following me. I was the leader, and
Speaker 3: they wanted it to be Peyton's team. So moving me
Speaker 3: kind of took a security blanket away from Peyton, which
Speaker 3: which actually allowed him to grow up because the next
Speaker 3: year they went thirteen and three and he took charge
Speaker 3: of the team. How that was kind of his leadership way.
Speaker 3: But for me that happened but in the move, accepting
Speaker 3: the fact that it was time to go, and it's
Speaker 3: kind of like like I kind of needed it in
Speaker 3: a sense because when you walk into a new locker
Speaker 3: room and there's guys and it's like you got traded,
Speaker 3: you got this big contract. They looking at you, you
Speaker 3: looking at them, and it's like it's like, who the
Speaker 3: hell is this guy? Who does he think he is?
Speaker 3: And and and you walk you go from a locker
Speaker 3: room to where you're proven to a locker room where
Speaker 3: you have to prove yourself, and it puts you back,
Speaker 3: like it gives you that edge back. I got that
Speaker 3: edge back, and I was like, Okay, I like this.
Speaker 3: I gotta show I got to earn their respect before
Speaker 3: before they believe I can lead them. And if if
Speaker 3: you accept it like that, then the business is easy.
Speaker 1: To deal with.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, how long does it take you to earn that
Speaker 2: respect in your mind? I mean, I'm extremely established. I'm
Speaker 2: sure it didn't take very.
Speaker 1: Long, but.
Speaker 3: It actually took I'm gonna tell you, I'll be honest.
Speaker 3: It took a few games. I'm gonna tell you. So
Speaker 3: we were we were I think we were six and
Speaker 3: oh and I barely touched the ball. And I had
Speaker 3: not won games in the NFL without touching the ball
Speaker 3: that much. Like I think the first game I touched
Speaker 3: the ball twelve times, the next game like thirteen, maybe fifteen.
Speaker 3: But we go, we're I think we were six and
Speaker 3: oh five and oh six and oh, and we're in Tennessee.
Speaker 3: We're playing the Titans, and they're giving us the business.
Speaker 3: You know, they're giving us the business. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 3: We go into the locker room. I go to Mike Mars.
Speaker 3: I said, Mike, I understand you being judicious. Just come
Speaker 3: to me. And so we come out. We come out
Speaker 3: the first like five or six plays, the ball goes
Speaker 3: to me, we score, and so I kind of took
Speaker 3: over the game. We were down like twenty one, twenty one,
Speaker 3: maybe three, and we ended up tying it up twenty
Speaker 3: four to twenty four, and they got the ball, drove
Speaker 3: down and kicked the field goal in overtime. But they
Speaker 3: had not seen like I literally took over the game.
Speaker 3: And that's when they were like, okay, like all right,
Speaker 3: we now we see who this guy is. Right before that,
Speaker 3: you know, I was just like I was coasting. I
Speaker 3: hadn't really taken over a game or played up to
Speaker 3: my potential because I was just a part of the
Speaker 3: offense I was doing. You know, I'm five eight ten
Speaker 3: yards twenty yar score a touchdown here. It didn't we
Speaker 3: didn't need to dominate. But like I was like Mike, like, have.
Speaker 2: You always been a guy that's like, hey, give me
Speaker 2: the give me the ball, or was that like was
Speaker 2: that a new thing for you to do to kind
Speaker 2: of like that was that.
Speaker 3: Was always my personality was like if we're going to
Speaker 3: we're gonna win. If I have the ball, that's like
Speaker 3: if I'm getting the ball, we are going to win.
Speaker 3: That's like that was always by my personality.
Speaker 2: That's like a standard textbook personality trait of a skill
Speaker 2: position guy that you need probably so you need that
Speaker 2: like aj Brown playing with him with the Titans, like
Speaker 2: he was a guy that like he's not getting a
Speaker 2: lot of catches. He's like, do you all want to
Speaker 2: win or not? Like you need to give me the football.
Speaker 2: And a lot of guys can look at that as
Speaker 2: like selfish guys not think about the team, but like
Speaker 2: you want dudes to have that kind of confidence and
Speaker 2: that kind of like that have that edge of being
Speaker 2: like I can truly make a difference any point in
Speaker 2: the game at any time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went about it a little different because I mean,
Speaker 3: should I play with ice Bruce Tory Holt? So I
Speaker 3: was always like Mike, look, no problem, Like we start
Speaker 3: the game, you throw it, no problem. But when it
Speaker 3: get real, when it get real, like hey where to go?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like like you know when I started looking at
Speaker 3: him like hey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like let's get going.
Speaker 3: Score a little too close?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was it like playing with the Peyton just
Speaker 1: coming into it was.
Speaker 3: Fun, man, it was fun. It was fun like watching
Speaker 3: him learn the game because he had all the attributes,
Speaker 3: but the speed of the game was just a little different,
Speaker 3: like your first year for a quarterback. It's moving fast,
Speaker 3: like fast thing you ever thought. And he threw a
Speaker 3: bunch of interceptions, and I mean I used to we
Speaker 3: used to walk off and he used to. I just
Speaker 3: didn't think the guy could get there. I didn't think
Speaker 3: the guy could get there. And then one time I
Speaker 3: was just like, hey, Peyton, it's the NFL. Everybody can
Speaker 3: get there. Yeah, Like it's a little different, man. All
Speaker 3: these dudes, the dudes, man, they were at some point
Speaker 3: in time, they were the best person on a team,
Speaker 3: All of these dudes in the league.
Speaker 2: Like the dudes with obviously that rookie year throwing all
Speaker 2: those interceptions, did you expect him to have the career.
Speaker 1: That he ended up having.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, you can see it, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Because it was all like every mistake
Speaker 3: was a new mistake, and he didn't make the same
Speaker 3: mistake twice. Once he made that mistake he fouled it away,
Speaker 3: never made the mistake again.
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the greatest show on turf. Talk about
Speaker 1: that year. We have a Tennessee titan Na Nashville native.
Speaker 1: You want to hug yard and a half. You want
Speaker 1: to hug he hugg It's okay, that newspaper shot reaching.
Speaker 3: I'll give you a hug.
Speaker 1: No talk about talk about that year. Man in the
Speaker 1: in the Rise of the Saint Louis Rams.
Speaker 3: It was literally I remember being in that locker room,
Speaker 3: you know, from the start of the season, and I
Speaker 3: think it was like I think it was Keith Lolla
Speaker 3: Todd Light. They say why not us? Like why not us?
Speaker 3: Literally like why not us? Why? Why why can't we
Speaker 3: dominate the league? And everybody was like huh And like
Speaker 3: that literally started. You could see, guys, because the Rams
Speaker 3: had a lot of good draft picks, but they just
Speaker 3: couldn't put the pieces together. And it was because they
Speaker 3: had drapped with Orlando Pace, gwyn Renstrom, Isaac Bruce, Todd Light,
Speaker 3: like all of these dudes the first rounds. Like they
Speaker 3: they had guys that was still on the team, that
Speaker 3: that that could play, and you know, it just it
Speaker 3: just hadn't happened for them, but the the willingness to
Speaker 3: just buy in and and and we started this. We
Speaker 3: started this thing with celebrating as a team. Like it
Speaker 3: started in practice. It didn't matter who caught the touchdown,
Speaker 3: we were going to celebrate as a team. It didn't
Speaker 3: matter who got the sack where they were gonna we
Speaker 3: were gonna celebrate as a team. And and that started
Speaker 3: to feed into the identity. And then we had this
Speaker 3: special teams coach that was like, he was the best
Speaker 3: I had ever heard get people ready to play. I mean,
Speaker 3: and he used to use a lot of war analogies
Speaker 3: and and and and ask guys to go and and
Speaker 3: and tell them what to do. And it used to
Speaker 3: get people so fired up. I mean, I didn't even
Speaker 3: play Special Teams. I sat in the Special teams meetings
Speaker 3: just to hear him talk shit. And and he man,
Speaker 3: Frank Ganz was like he was he was one of
Speaker 3: the best Special teams coaches ever played. And in that
Speaker 3: mantra of us, everybody was like, we gotta go to
Speaker 3: work if we want to do this, and that became
Speaker 3: our whole thing. Gotta go to work, Gotta go to work,
Speaker 3: Gotta go to work. Gotta go to work when.
Speaker 2: You guys, So you guys are feeling the juice your
Speaker 2: celeb yeah team and everything, like when did that? Like,
Speaker 2: all right, the momentum is in our favor right now,
Speaker 2: when did it turn into O legit we could win
Speaker 2: a super Bowl this year?
Speaker 3: After after we lost to Tennessee, the next week of practice,
Speaker 3: how we showed up. I had been a part of
Speaker 3: teams that lost games and showed up like it was nothing.
Speaker 3: Guys showed up, hissed mad, like working hard. You could
Speaker 3: see that the linemen like O line, D line, they
Speaker 3: were in fights with each other. It wasn't the it
Speaker 3: wasn't the i'm i'm I'm I'm doing defensive scout team
Speaker 3: a offensive scout team and I'm just getting in your weight.
Speaker 3: It was like they were trying to kick each other's
Speaker 3: butt and and I was like, man, these dudes, these
Speaker 3: dudes hungry man, and you could you could start to
Speaker 3: see it. And we I think right after that, we
Speaker 3: played the Niners and the Rams hadn't beat the Niners
Speaker 3: in like eleven times, and we blew them out, like
Speaker 3: literally blew them out. And that's when it was like
Speaker 3: there's something here. There's literally something here.
Speaker 1: And having that pissed off team after losing the Titans,
Speaker 1: how hungry were you guys to play them again in
Speaker 1: the in the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: We couldn't have had a better opponent. Literally, could not
Speaker 3: have had a better opponent.
Speaker 1: Came down to the last place, could.
Speaker 3: Not have had a better opponent.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: It was like, if you go back and watch the
Speaker 3: game that we played them in Tennessee, like that game
Speaker 3: was hard, was just as hard fought as the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: And and to watch the effort of it, George and
Speaker 3: the late Steve McNair, like the effort, Like I watch
Speaker 3: the last drive, Steve McNair is leaving it all out there.
Speaker 3: I'm talking dog tired, and this dude is finding a
Speaker 3: way to stay up, fight guys off complete passes.
Speaker 1: And you know what was your vibe like on the
Speaker 1: sideline seeing him drive down.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, man, I was like I was
Speaker 3: so calm because I just didn't think this is I
Speaker 3: was like I knew a little bit about Fisher. I
Speaker 3: was like, there's no way he goes for two because
Speaker 3: if they scored, they were tied. But there was no
Speaker 3: way he was going for two.
Speaker 2: You know, that route was ran wrong. That route at
Speaker 2: that depth was just a little bit more.
Speaker 6: But that that's it.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 3: The discipline of the game is sometimes what caused all
Speaker 3: the times is when you while you win or lose
Speaker 3: the discipline and how you do stuff.
Speaker 1: Mike Jones, Yeah, Held had that final tackle. You also
Speaker 1: played with I got to play with him.
Speaker 2: Oh I stay in the super Bowl. Stay in the
Speaker 2: super Bowl because I was so toy. I played for
Speaker 2: the Titans twenty nineteen, were two quarters away from going
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl. Tell me that feeling of running
Speaker 2: out of the tunnel for a Super Bowl to literally
Speaker 2: achieve a world championship, that that moment is it because
Speaker 2: you like obviously extremely successful, like you've literally done everything
Speaker 2: you can possibly do as a football player, but like
Speaker 2: the opportunity to achieve like the holy grail of a
Speaker 2: team sport?
Speaker 1: Like what is that? Was it moment? Massive?
Speaker 2: Or was it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: How hard was it to stay like kind of composed
Speaker 2: just running out of the tunnel knowing win or loose
Speaker 2: is the last game of the year and this is
Speaker 2: a legacy deal.
Speaker 3: I didn't even try to stay composed smart, Like what
Speaker 3: I did was I I allow whatever was going to
Speaker 3: happen to happen, and that you know, I was going
Speaker 3: to be able to gather myself and play the game.
Speaker 3: That's literally when I ran out of that out of
Speaker 3: the tunnel, I was so hyped, like I started a
Speaker 3: hyper villain lady. I had to go to the sideline
Speaker 3: and get some oxygen. I was like so excited because
Speaker 3: as a kid, like my friends and I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 3: from New Orleans. We're playing in Atlanta. I got so
Speaker 3: many people at the game, like people that spent their
Speaker 3: last to get there because they grew up, you know,
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking about my boys when we you know,
Speaker 3: as kids, every time, it didn't matter what the score was.
Speaker 3: Oh ship, the street lights coming on. We got to
Speaker 3: get home. This play is to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I get a chance. Man, You're crazy, Like
Speaker 3: I was not gonna hold anything back. And you know,
Speaker 3: by the time when I ran out, I'm I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm amped, and I time I wore myself out, I'm
Speaker 3: sitting on the bench, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, I gotta catch my bread yeah, fague.
Speaker 3: Literally I started the game off tired, and it took
Speaker 3: like I had to catch my second win just to
Speaker 3: go out and play. That's that's how much adrenaline is
Speaker 3: going through your body to play that game.
Speaker 2: What a moment that would be.
Speaker 1: They're the MVP that year too, Right, No, that was
Speaker 1: Kurt's that was Kurt. You were second to Kurt? Right,
Speaker 1: that's wild, Like Kurt was Kurt Warner's number one.
Speaker 3: So three years in a row, two So Kurt one
Speaker 3: I was second. I won, he was second. Kurt one
Speaker 3: I was second three years in a row.
Speaker 1: To a guy who was filling grocery bags.
Speaker 3: Man, the best grocery bagger in the business.
Speaker 1: Question detail.
Speaker 2: Bags were never on the bottom, Like he knew what
Speaker 2: the hell he was doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was he like? Playing with him?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 3: Best man?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 3: Man, I tell people all the time, like I'm talking
Speaker 3: not just football player, but like person you meet him
Speaker 3: like so authentic, so authentic, uh, and just just enjoyed
Speaker 3: playing with him. He only got upset with himself. It
Speaker 3: didn't matter who was yelling at him. He's he maintained
Speaker 3: who he was, and he always stayed in his person
Speaker 3: and who he wanted to be, like a man of fan, always.
Speaker 1: Not going back to back Spygate, Patriots taking it from
Speaker 1: from us from the Rams from US Rams.
Speaker 2: You were a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 1: I was a Cowboys fan. But you're still like, you know,
Speaker 1: when the when the city team wins. As a kid,
Speaker 1: you're on that bandwagon, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: Marshall Falk was on the cover of Madden. You pretended
Speaker 1: to be guys like Marshall Falk, Trail Davis, Eddie, George
Speaker 1: out in the front yard. But back to the question
Speaker 1: of not getting that back to back Super Bowl against
Speaker 1: the Patriots, talk about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a tough one, man. You know, for
Speaker 3: for a while, I hung on that loss more than
Speaker 3: I did the win, you know, And and and you
Speaker 3: just you just, you know, you gotta let it go.
Speaker 3: You literally let it go. And and that's that's easy
Speaker 3: to do when you play sports. You know, you you
Speaker 3: don't you don't really know how to really maintain what
Speaker 3: you need in order to enjoy the win. It's so
Speaker 3: much easier to go down and be pissed off about
Speaker 3: the losses. So much easier, you know, because it it
Speaker 3: becomes few to your fire. You know, you use it
Speaker 3: to like get stuff done.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 3: Really, when you're the best, you're like, oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: work out harder. You know, it's like it's harder to
Speaker 3: work out harder when you're the best. It's easier to
Speaker 3: work out harder when when there's some adversity or something's
Speaker 3: up against you. And so you know, I had to
Speaker 3: I really had to like work on like, man, I
Speaker 3: gotta let this go. Like I enjoyed winning the super
Speaker 3: Bowl more than I did losing the Super Bowl. Why
Speaker 3: am I not talking about this as much?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you feel there's any truth to the spy gate?
Speaker 3: And man, look, I mean let's let's just let's just
Speaker 3: say this. It's it's it's not one spy gate, its
Speaker 3: two spike gates. There's all kinds of stuff that you
Speaker 3: know it's but but in this, in this, in this
Speaker 3: business of professional sports, you know, Al Davis used to said,
Speaker 3: if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: And some people, some people, you know, you you find it,
Speaker 3: You find a way to get it done. And in
Speaker 3: the game, in between the lines, it ain't holding it.
Speaker 3: They don't call it, Yeah, but spying if they don't,
Speaker 3: if they don't call it, they gotta call it. The
Speaker 3: league has to throw the challenge flag on itself. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And they ain't never doing that. We're not gonna be baseball.
Speaker 3: Remember that baseball got some taint it. He ain't doing that.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna see no asterisk buying any super Bowl?
Speaker 4: YEA?
Speaker 3: Trust that?
Speaker 2: When do you when you come back to obviously you
Speaker 2: didn't play in Las Vegas for a Super Bowl, but
Speaker 2: you're during super Bowl Week? Like is there a piece
Speaker 2: of nostalgia every time you come back and do all
Speaker 2: this stuff?
Speaker 3: Always always always just just the memory, the memories of
Speaker 3: because because when you're actually when you're like so when
Speaker 3: I was in the league, I would not come to
Speaker 3: a super Bowl until I played one or until I
Speaker 3: won one. So I never came until until until then
Speaker 3: I came to ninety four, and then I didn't come
Speaker 3: again until until after ninety nine, until after the two
Speaker 3: thousand season. So you're always wondering when you're playing, like
Speaker 3: what's happening? What's going on out there?
Speaker 1: What? What's what?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: What what's what's what's happening?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
Speaker 3: Now being on this side of it, I'm always thinking about, like, man,
Speaker 3: what are they talking about? Like what are they what
Speaker 3: are they game planning? What's the scheme?
Speaker 1: Like, like the guys what what?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 1: What are? What are they planning on?
Speaker 3: Because you talk about how much you're going to man
Speaker 3: after we win this, after we win this, here's what
Speaker 3: we're gonna do after we win. Oh, I can't wait.
Speaker 3: I can't Like you're you're manifesting your destiny and so
Speaker 3: you're talking about it. You can see it, and that's
Speaker 3: why when you lose it hurts so much.
Speaker 2: There's obviously a lot of passion in your voice, Like
Speaker 2: where did you get this championship mindset? Has it always
Speaker 2: been since you were a young child or did it
Speaker 2: have to develop over process of elimination of trying new
Speaker 2: things and kind of having to pivot if it okay,
Speaker 2: this mindset, this way, this body of work is not
Speaker 2: working for me right now, Like where did you get
Speaker 2: to where? What we're seeing right now?
Speaker 3: When you're the youngest and because of age, size or whatever,
Speaker 3: you don't get to win, it burns in you. Like
Speaker 3: I I So basketball is my first sport, and my
Speaker 3: brothers they all played basketball, and my two brothers that
Speaker 3: were really good. When I got big enough, they wouldn't
Speaker 3: play me, so they didn't want to lose to me.
Speaker 3: So it's it's literally just it's just competitive at me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, I compete at everything everything that I do,
Speaker 3: I compete and I'm always competing against myself. I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to get better, just trying to get better. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to live life better, trying to be a better
Speaker 3: human every day.
Speaker 2: There's got to be like a with football players or
Speaker 2: anybody who plays a sport in general, there's got to
Speaker 2: be like this insane competitiveness like about you every fast,
Speaker 2: Like I feel, it doesn't leave any part of your life,
Speaker 2: Like what about it?
Speaker 1: What now?
Speaker 2: Are you like the most competitive in.
Speaker 3: Probably golf?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, big golfer.
Speaker 3: I love golf. I love golf. It's it's the most
Speaker 3: mentally challenging thing that I've ever done in my life.
Speaker 1: Like it's.
Speaker 3: You know, I've never been so mad and disappointed in
Speaker 3: myself for not being able to mentally focus at something
Speaker 3: that doesn't hit back.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like it's crazy.
Speaker 2: If you could play somebody want a celebrity in golf
Speaker 2: just to know that you could beat them. Who to
Speaker 2: be to know that I can be, not know that
Speaker 2: you could beat that, But if you want to prove yourself,
Speaker 2: like a guy like Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3: We know he plays all the time Tiger, Like I
Speaker 3: would like to play Tiger in the match.
Speaker 2: And you think you'd beat Tiger.
Speaker 3: I'm saying I would like to play Tiger. Come on, man, like, really,
Speaker 3: have you seen the clip?
Speaker 2: There's a there's a barstool podcast called Foreplay and they
Speaker 2: did a long drive company with Tiger. Have you seen
Speaker 2: that clip? Yeah, he's on his knees. Yeah, incredible. Out
Speaker 2: drives him, out drives him.
Speaker 1: That is just crazy. Do you got any good uh?
Speaker 1: I got to play with London Fletcher, like his last year.
Speaker 1: Do you have any good London Fletcher stories? Because you
Speaker 1: was used with him when he was young, like undrafted,
Speaker 1: like he always had this look at his eye he
Speaker 1: kept at the end his entire career. But do you
Speaker 1: have any good London Fletcher stories?
Speaker 3: So the best, this is my best. I don't know
Speaker 3: if we named him dot com dot com Fletcher dot com,
Speaker 3: so we started calling him dot com. But here's how
Speaker 3: I met London. I was on the coats and we
Speaker 3: had a joint practice because Jim Moore, he he and
Speaker 3: Dick Vermill they coached together at U c l A.
Speaker 3: So we meet at Champagne Illinois and we have a
Speaker 3: joint practice, all right, and we get ready to do
Speaker 3: one on ones and uh like, the starting linebacker comes up.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't remember who it was. And I
Speaker 3: came up and I come out the backfield on the route,
Speaker 3: catch the ball. Then we moved to the other side.
Speaker 3: I come up. The other starting linebacker came up, caught
Speaker 3: the ball on him, and then it's time for me
Speaker 3: to go again. And the linebacker that's up is like
Speaker 3: wearing number sixty six. And I turned around. I'm like,
Speaker 3: can y'all get somebody else in here?
Speaker 1: And it was London.
Speaker 3: It was London because it was his rookie year, and
Speaker 3: he was like, he was like, you don't want to
Speaker 3: go against me. You don't want to go against me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, man, I ain't trying to get hurt
Speaker 3: messing with no rookie, right all right? And two years later,
Speaker 3: I'm playing with him and we line up and he
Speaker 3: reminded me. He was like, hey, I know you don't notice,
Speaker 3: but I was number sixty six when we were in camp.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, did he ever do have your strap
Speaker 1: you one on ones?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, not never, No, he couldn't not no. But you
Speaker 3: know Pat linebacker pass right past pro, you know, pass pro,
Speaker 3: meet him in the ag gap, catching him off the edge.
Speaker 3: He he won his battles there. You know, I put
Speaker 3: up a good fight and I'm supposed to lose that.
Speaker 3: I'm just supposed to occupy your time, right, I supposed
Speaker 3: to win. I'm just supposed to get in your way death.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but one on one he no chance. I
Speaker 3: told him. I said, listen, here's the reality. Ain't whether
Speaker 3: I'm going to catch the ball. The reality is you're
Speaker 3: not gonna touch me. Like in this drill me, winning
Speaker 3: is whether you touch me or not.
Speaker 5: Has there been a linebacker to strap you, whether it's
Speaker 5: in a game.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's it's listen, it's going to happen, right,
Speaker 3: I mean it's yeah, It's happened many a times. But
Speaker 3: but like we're talking situation, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: If it's if it's third and I gotta win, whatever
Speaker 3: that is, it ain't happening.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: You can catch me on second down. You can probably
Speaker 3: catch me, you know. But if if if we're calling
Speaker 3: the play and this play is it's third in this
Speaker 3: and we're going to they're calling they're calling my route
Speaker 3: or a play to me. Unless they double team me,
Speaker 3: like and take me out and make the quarterback not
Speaker 3: throw it to me. I'm winning. That's that's just that
Speaker 3: was like guarantee.
Speaker 1: I mean you essentially, I mean you were like known
Speaker 1: for the folk route coming out of the backfield running vertical.
Speaker 1: I know that was absolute hell for any linebacker to
Speaker 1: have to do.
Speaker 3: Just cover Marshall out of the Listen, what are you
Speaker 3: thinking about? You're like, Okay, it's gonna break in. You're
Speaker 3: gonna break out right and amenity runs boy.
Speaker 1: You You're like, oh, are you strapping down Marshall? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know I'll get him every now and then,
Speaker 1: do you think?
Speaker 12: So?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Man, I'm gonna get I'm gonna have my day.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have that.
Speaker 3: Out of ten times, I'm gonna win.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess right at some point.
Speaker 3: I'm the other time I fell down, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Get I'll have to guess, but I'll guess right at
Speaker 1: some point, and then that's when I'll stop playing, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Now, I'm shall, you know, get
Speaker 1: somebody else here. I'm not trying to get hurt. Against
Speaker 1: somebody like you, dude, you were talking earlier about always
Speaker 1: wanting to be the running back, like never leave the field,
Speaker 1: be that guy at all times. Talk about like when
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson was coming in and you start splitting characters
Speaker 1: and splitting reps in the later part of your career,
Speaker 1: Like how was that for you?
Speaker 3: So the story is different than that. When they drafted,
Speaker 3: Steve and I had a conversation be cause Stephen and
Speaker 3: I we had the same agent. And I said to
Speaker 3: Steve and I say, look, here's the reality. And I
Speaker 3: told Mike, I said, here's the reality. If you want
Speaker 3: the job, you got to beat me out. I'm not
Speaker 3: giving it to you, like I'm not. You have to
Speaker 3: take this job. And I told him, I said, the
Speaker 3: only reason why that's the case is in this huddle,
Speaker 3: the best guy gonna be here for these dudes. And
Speaker 3: so if you beat me up, you're the best guy.
Speaker 3: That's it. But I knew I was, you know, I was.
Speaker 3: I think I was like thirty two, you know, and
Speaker 3: I was like I couldn't play whole games anymore. I needed,
Speaker 3: you know, I needed to kind of split time a
Speaker 3: little bit, you know. I just I wasn't the back
Speaker 3: I was. I once was, so.
Speaker 1: It was. It was good.
Speaker 3: He he learned a lot.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I sat down with him and went over film and
Speaker 3: talked about here's what I see, Here's what I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: this is my prestat read, you know whatever. Whatever I
Speaker 3: could teach him, I taught him, you know, just just
Speaker 3: in not like taking him under my wing. Just I
Speaker 3: want when he's in there, I want.
Speaker 4: Him to have.
Speaker 3: What I have and how I see things for the
Speaker 3: other ten guys in there. So and he was, he was,
Speaker 3: he was awesome, and he he never I mean, you're
Speaker 3: you're your early pick. You know, you're you're playing behind
Speaker 3: you know, guys in his eleven twelfth year, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's like ship. You can't win the job. That
Speaker 3: could mess what you're confident, you know started, Yeah, that
Speaker 3: started the best with your confidence. And the only thing
Speaker 3: that kept me in the game was because you know,
Speaker 3: like the mental side of the game, you know, mentally mentally,
Speaker 3: I just I didn't make many mistakes. And when you can,
Speaker 3: when you can, when your mind is sharp and you
Speaker 3: cannot make mistakes, and you could be efficient with carries,
Speaker 3: always get positive yards. Although you don't hit the home
Speaker 3: run the way you used to and you're not. You
Speaker 3: can't do all the things that you used to do.
Speaker 3: You can still be effective.
Speaker 2: How was how was that process when you start to
Speaker 2: figure out, okay, I can't hit the home run, I
Speaker 2: am losing a step like father time and starting.
Speaker 3: To catch up with you. Right, oh, yeah, you're in.
Speaker 2: When did the denial turn into acceptance?
Speaker 3: Maybe the season before my last So my the twelfth year,
Speaker 3: I had a series of games that I mean like
Speaker 3: I never got tackled by the first guy, and and
Speaker 3: so it happened probably three or four games where single
Speaker 3: guy ran up on me, I put a move on him,
Speaker 3: and he got me. And I was and I was like,
Speaker 3: and I was like, man, you know, hmm, you just
Speaker 3: you're thinking like, oh, oh that was a good tag.
Speaker 3: He barely got my leg. Oh he barely. Oh he
Speaker 3: hit my leg and it hit my other foot. And
Speaker 3: those are things that that first guy wouldn't even touch
Speaker 3: me right now and now yeah, and now I'm getting
Speaker 3: tackled by the first guy. To me, that was like,
Speaker 3: you know, that's like a wounded animal out there. I'm like, listen,
Speaker 3: there's blood in the water. There's no way I talk
Speaker 3: too much smack when I play like, there's no way
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be out here and I can't. I got
Speaker 3: I can't make the first guy miss I'm in trouble.
Speaker 1: You who some of the best ship talkers you went against.
Speaker 3: Johnny Randall, Rodney Harrison straight hand talked all day. Oh sap,
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Sad wouldn't shut up, would not shut up.
Speaker 2: It's impressive to see a big guy that doesn't shut up.
Speaker 2: You know, you can kind of motor around that much
Speaker 2: and keep the john Sets going the whole time.
Speaker 3: Sad was was was the one, and he had an
Speaker 3: issue with this guard that we had, uh, Frankie Garcia,
Speaker 3: and he talks back to him the whole game, called
Speaker 3: his name out the whole every time. He was Frankie,
Speaker 3: I'm coming to get you, Frankie, look.
Speaker 11: At me.
Speaker 1: Anything you're saying to Frankie.
Speaker 2: Hey, Frankie's okay, brother, We're here for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh well the first the first time it happened, he
Speaker 3: was like, Frankie, Frankie and Frankie Frankie and and I'm
Speaker 3: looking this way, Frankie's back as the Sad and I say,
Speaker 3: Frankie talking to you.
Speaker 5: Frank You gotta do something, frank stand up for yourself, Frankie.
Speaker 2: And Off it's the lineman. And so a lot of
Speaker 2: those dudes are South spoken cats. But he was he
Speaker 2: a talker, was Frankie talker. He kind of keep nothing
Speaker 2: to say, frank killing with kindness kind of guy.
Speaker 3: Something happened Frankie was playing somewhere else in him and SAP.
Speaker 3: Something something happened and they had issues. And when that's
Speaker 3: when anytime SAP played him, regardless of he was playing
Speaker 3: on it, he got after him.
Speaker 1: Damn. How it's a bad guy to have on your back.
Speaker 1: How do you, uh, how do you feel like the
Speaker 1: game has gotten softer since you since your guys' era.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say softer, They just they're they're they're playing
Speaker 3: smarter now. In playing smarter, what they've done is unfair
Speaker 3: to defense. You know, guys are running across the middle
Speaker 3: like their Bambi. They can't be touched. They trying to
Speaker 3: play brave like like you know what I'm saying, Like, dude,
Speaker 3: stop running across the middle and you're gonna get up
Speaker 3: talking smack to somebody because they can't hit you unless
Speaker 3: you look at them like if if if, if I IF,
Speaker 3: I always say if I duck, that means I saw you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so that creates heilme with the helmet more helm with
Speaker 3: the hillman. Contact happens when the guy ducks your linebacker.
Speaker 3: You're going in he duck. Bam, help with the helmet
Speaker 3: flag on you. They've put they put too much of
Speaker 3: his responsibility on the defensive guy. The quarterback throwing the ball,
Speaker 3: not protecting his receiver, the offensive coordinator calling these plays,
Speaker 3: putting these guys in these kamakazi situations, none of them
Speaker 3: are responsible.
Speaker 2: And giving a lot of interpretation up to the referee. Yeah,
Speaker 2: putting them in a difficult position.
Speaker 3: And listen, any any hit that looks bad, they got
Speaker 3: to throw a flag, got to they have to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were your guys' off seasons? Like I'm trying
Speaker 1: to remember because we had all start on and he
Speaker 1: was talking about you know, how the union, how it shifted.
Speaker 1: We asked for all this off time and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: Like what were your guys? How long were your guys
Speaker 1: off seasons? Like when did you have to report? So
Speaker 1: your last game is in January?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so last game in January, let's say February we
Speaker 3: started off season conditioning and right after the draft. Off
Speaker 3: season conditioning would be from February until the beginning of April,
Speaker 3: and then you would leave after April. You come back
Speaker 3: right after the draft and do the first mini camp.
Speaker 3: They'd have a you know, if you were first or second,
Speaker 3: your guy with the rookies, you do that mini camp,
Speaker 3: and then the next week they'd have the bets would
Speaker 3: come and you do another mini camp with the Vets
Speaker 3: and the rooks. Yeah, and and camp was six weeks long.
Speaker 1: Damn man, we do that?
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 2: And not even talking about two days. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 2: had to practice two.
Speaker 3: Days, not for real, real days, not like not like home.
Speaker 1: It's only too like my rookie yar.
Speaker 2: Two day would be like practice in the morning with pads,
Speaker 2: a little jogged through in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, we we were.
Speaker 3: We were full strap ten days, full tackle too. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: tackle to the ground and goal line like live now.
Speaker 1: When you when you were Marshall Fulk m v P.
Speaker 1: Marshall Fulk, were you having to participate in on the
Speaker 1: two days?
Speaker 3: I still did it. Yeah, I still did it, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because like that was I always my conditioning was how
Speaker 3: I beat people. I was like you when we got
Speaker 3: to the fourth quarter. I know you didn't work as
Speaker 3: hard as me.
Speaker 1: I knew it.
Speaker 3: There's no way you worked as hard as me, No way.
Speaker 1: What was what was it like you had you know,
Speaker 1: you had to scale positions like yourself. You mentioned Torry Holt,
Speaker 1: Isaac Bruce was all your guys' work ethics just sickening,
Speaker 1: Like you're explaining.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we we pushed each other like in conditioning, like
Speaker 3: we were all we raced, we pushed each other. Like
Speaker 3: some of the stuff you saw in games wasn't even
Speaker 3: close to what we did in practice. Like if you
Speaker 3: if you thought the greatest show on Turfin, if you
Speaker 3: watch some of the practices, unbelievable, just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: The joint practic it is today like the worst. It's
Speaker 2: let's like a war. I can't imagine what they were
Speaker 2: like when you play.
Speaker 3: Well now in today's in today's game, that's all they
Speaker 3: have to They understand that they getting to fight practice over.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but it's also there's not a whole hour
Speaker 2: at the same time, like there's not you know, if
Speaker 2: you get like a little scuffle like there's not you
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about penalties. Guys are playing a
Speaker 2: lot harder and a lot dirty. I feel like joint
Speaker 2: practices are actually more difficult than games.
Speaker 1: To an extent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I I don't know, Like for for us,
Speaker 3: a joint practice was easier than our practice solo. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because a joint practice, I'm going against somebody who don't
Speaker 3: know me. When you're going against somebody, when you practice
Speaker 3: against somebody who know what you do every damn day,
Speaker 3: you know how hard that is to defeat him every day.
Speaker 2: It's like to learn everything.
Speaker 3: When the team you got to play in your division,
Speaker 3: you gotta play him twice. That second time you play him,
Speaker 3: it's hard. If you play him a third time, you're like,
Speaker 3: we beat him twice, can we beat him again? It's hard.
Speaker 3: But now you get to go up against another team
Speaker 3: that's like, oh man, this, this is cake, this this
Speaker 3: guy don't know my tricks?

Speaker 3: there they have no idea, they have no idea fitting
Speaker 3: all in drugs, what's going on, and they're curious and
Speaker 3: a lot of the times, as you know, we were
Speaker 3: kids the minute the manuye. Your parents or somebody said say,
Speaker 3: don't do what do you do?
Speaker 11: You do?

Speaker 3: just to understand before you try it. What's out there
Speaker 3: for you?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 1: Uh? What got you into that?
Speaker 3: I just I grew up around drugs, and listen, I
Speaker 3: made it to the Hall of Fame. And I wasn't
Speaker 3: the best player on my team in high school. There's
Speaker 3: I wasn't the best player at my community.
Speaker 1: I mean, you seem like you played every position. I
Speaker 1: would almost assume that you were probably the best player.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Here's six games you play.
Speaker 3: The best, the best guy sometimes didn't show up. You know,
Speaker 3: he was cool, he was smoking weed, he was cool,
Speaker 3: he was you know, and then eventually you know, that
Speaker 3: guy was the guy. You know, after my rookie year,
Speaker 3: I go back home, he's the guy on drugs.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, so you know, what do you do? What
Speaker 3: do you do? How you let people know? I believe
Speaker 3: the best way to let people know is by educating
Speaker 3: him and giving him the opportunities to, like, hey, at
Speaker 3: your own liberties. Go to the site drug freeworld dot org.
Speaker 3: Get them make the right decision.
Speaker 1: Was it just like an area that just touched you
Speaker 1: to be like, I want to like get into space
Speaker 1: or was there anything?
Speaker 3: I was always in the space. I grew up around it.
Speaker 3: I grew up around it.
Speaker 1: You know it it it.
Speaker 3: It has touched me deeply. You know, I've lost many
Speaker 3: of friends. I've had family members partake and have issues,
Speaker 3: you know, and and recover, you know, yeah, to live
Speaker 3: a better life. But everybody don't make it right.
Speaker 1: Everybody don't How you know in your experience, do you
Speaker 1: approach conversations like that with somebody close to you that
Speaker 1: you would you know, it's like you want to immerse
Speaker 1: yourself into their world and try to help them out,
Speaker 1: but you struggle like bridging that gap for people that
Speaker 1: are like watching right now. I know, I think of
Speaker 1: a couple of situations in my circles where you like,
Speaker 1: you're just trying to find the lane of like getting
Speaker 1: them the help they getting them the help they need,
Speaker 1: I guess without like being like forcing yourself one of them,
Speaker 1: like in your experience, like what advice would you have
Speaker 1: with that?
Speaker 3: What I what I what I say is and what
Speaker 3: I'm always trying to do is anything anything that we
Speaker 3: we find ourselves needing in life. You gotta find out why,
Speaker 3: like well why do I like that? Why why do
Speaker 3: I need to do this?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 3: What is this masking? Because it's masking something, And if
Speaker 3: you can get down to the core, then you can
Speaker 3: solve the problem. And the reality is they might not
Speaker 3: want to. They might not want the problem solve. They
Speaker 3: might like how they live, how they live their life.
Speaker 3: And when that's when that's the case, then you you
Speaker 3: got to back off because until they are ready, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. You can't make it happen for them.
Speaker 3: I can't make it happen for them. They have to
Speaker 3: be ready.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the hardest part, right it is, Yeah,
Speaker 2: just trying to get somebody to get ant of their
Speaker 2: own way and.
Speaker 1: Like backing up when you're just like, you know, you
Speaker 1: care about somebody and you're you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, time that type of situation where you're dealing
Speaker 2: with somebody that's using or abusing, it's like you want
Speaker 2: to help them. But usually with people that are abusing something,
Speaker 2: when you go into approach them with that situation, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's usually met with the resistance and it ends up
Speaker 2: and it killed the messenger type of situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you go around and speak a lot?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And you know, the the idea is that
Speaker 3: it's it's just street drugs. It's not just street drugs.
Speaker 3: You know, there's there's some prescription drugs that's that's out here.
Speaker 2: I mean, prescription drugs are a whole another ballgame, like
Speaker 2: they're i mean playing. Obviously, you get in there, they
Speaker 2: give you a couple of pills. Hey, this is make
Speaker 2: it feel a hold better. You take it and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I get it. I understand why people get addicted to
Speaker 2: these things and their lives end up getting ruined because
Speaker 2: it is I mean, it's a deal.
