Speaker 1: a bus and a small dream. That's surprise for two hundred. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think two hundred people are going to really enjoy that.
Speaker 1: They're absolutely going to enjoy that. Another thing you might
Speaker 1: enjoy is the playoff season. And well, the playoffs are
Speaker 1: upon us, but one team has already won it all.
Speaker 1: That team is the Chevy and it's star player, the Silverado,
Speaker 1: a truck with unstoppable grit and determination. According to JD Power,
Speaker 1: Chevy trucks have earned more New Vehicle Quality awards than
Speaker 1: any other brand. And that's some serious hardware. Do the
Speaker 1: boys a favor? Head over to Chevy dot com to
Speaker 1: learn more. Silverado as strong and dependable as people who
Speaker 1: drive them. For JD Power twenty twenty two US award information,
Speaker 1: visit jdpower dot com slash Awards Now I am, I
Speaker 1: will say this weekend, big weekend, big weekend, weekend, big weekend.
Speaker 1: I came home from new work. I was out with
Speaker 1: the family yesterday and I did do a little drive
Speaker 1: by at a Chevy dealership and I saw a little piece.
Speaker 1: I liked, what was it? What kind of piece? I've
Speaker 1: always wanted a diesel. I've always wanted a diesel. And
Speaker 1: I saw a twenty twenty three Chevy Silverado Durham X
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred high Country and that thing was fucking nice. Dude,
Speaker 1: get the dude. I got the fever right now for
Speaker 1: a truck because I am in the market for those
Speaker 1: of you wondering, which I don't know why you would wonder,
Speaker 1: but I am in the market for Yeah, what's he
Speaker 1: up to right now? I bet he wants it that money.
Speaker 1: I think that's the new Chevy Silverado. Do you want
Speaker 1: to because the vehicle I'm driving right now is unfortunately
Speaker 1: not a Chevy, and I would love to get back
Speaker 1: on that Chevy program. Obviously you've heard that we dropped it.
Speaker 1: Do we talk about how we I had the Rocky
Speaker 1: Ridge for a little bit, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you also bought what's the Chevy like Savannah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, yeah, the family vehicle? Oh, the suburban? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we have the suburban for the family. That's for the
Speaker 1: kids to take them to school and bring them back
Speaker 1: to school. You want to go to the park car
Speaker 1: seats standing there now the truck I had before Chevy
Speaker 1: graced us with their presence as a presenting sponsor in
Speaker 1: this podcast, I was not driving a Chevy. And even
Speaker 1: before then, I thought to myself, you know, I've always
Speaker 1: enjoyed the look of a Chevy Silverado, but my whole
Speaker 1: family they always grew up d driving something different. So
Speaker 1: I felt like I had to I needed to. Now
Speaker 1: what a way for me to change my situation? Man,
Speaker 1: If I'm going to be gritty, I need to lean
Speaker 1: into the grit. I need to lean into the grit
Speaker 1: because the boys have, legit been gritty this twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three season, very gritty. We have gotten after it. We've
Speaker 1: worked through injuries, which I'm proud of you. By the way,
Speaker 1: are you talking about my back? I'm talking about your back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people are coming after me.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are coming after me. For the
Speaker 1: people love to punch up, buddy, They people love to
Speaker 1: punch up. They didn't see you in that gym like
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: I like I And there's a part of me that
Speaker 2: understands like, ultimately we all want to have a great
Speaker 2: time with the boys and have a great time having
Speaker 2: some drinks, doing a tank race, enjoying the camaraderie. That's
Speaker 2: where I feel like it's coming from. Yeah, we didn't
Speaker 2: get that. We missed out a lot. I had fomo.
Speaker 2: I had a high fomo. Yeah, I was taking a
Speaker 2: lot of shots. I appreciate you standing. I appreciate your
Speaker 2: standing enough for me, and you did like you were
Speaker 2: witnessing me walking around.
Speaker 1: I was walking around and every time they said something
Speaker 1: on the tanker. So I like to think that I
Speaker 1: now got a little fuzzy towards the end, But I
Speaker 1: like to think that I I supported the boy through
Speaker 1: and through. Absolutely. I couldn't believe that Big Cat was
Speaker 1: turning on me with the way he was. You know
Speaker 1: how bag I can get them.
Speaker 2: No, it's all for good, it's all for good jokes,
Speaker 2: it's all for ball busting. It's all it's in the
Speaker 2: it's in the spirit of ball bust, right, being in
Speaker 2: the locker room, busting the boys balls that you know,
Speaker 2: anytime you get hurt in the locker room, you're kind of.
Speaker 1: Like you guys. Was a neck pad thing for a
Speaker 1: while exactly if you were injured.
Speaker 2: Oh, dB, you're you're you're just doing walk through today,
Speaker 2: You're not practicing.
Speaker 1: Low key jealous that, like, you have to practice. You
Speaker 1: have to practice.
Speaker 2: If it's a Wednesday early in the season, and then
Speaker 2: it walked through, we'd make in the linebacker room, we'd
Speaker 2: make guys wear a neck brace to show that, like
Speaker 2: the you know, if hey, if you're just gonna do
Speaker 2: the walk through, you like, you gotta you gotta wear
Speaker 2: something that shows you're gonna be in a puss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, being a puff dude, Yeah, absolutely, I was. How'd
Speaker 1: you enjoy your tank race? I thought I had. I
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. Now I know when you
Speaker 1: did the tank race back in June or July twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, I had an amazing amount of poem. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: what a good time. And when I'm like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: do let's do a case race. Let's do a case
Speaker 1: there's an on big cat about it. He has his substance. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a case race. You guys come in
Speaker 1: for the wildcard weekend. You watched the games with us,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Obviously I didn't stay for the wildcard
Speaker 1: stuff for the sole reason that there is gambling involved.
Speaker 1: And we were gonna put up a graphic saying that
Speaker 1: I wasn't gambling. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it turns into the same thing that happened to year ten.
Speaker 1: You don't want to fall in you don't want to
Speaker 1: fall into those situations. I don't want to get got
Speaker 1: to you know, I see, I see it. My boy
Speaker 1: Goodell did do you right? And I'm like, that's just
Speaker 1: why would I give him another opportunity?
Speaker 2: You see the hurdles at the league trying to go through.
Speaker 2: Just keep me out of the league.
Speaker 1: It's crazy too, Yeah, absolutely crazy. So I actually pulled
Speaker 1: into barstool on Friday. I thought the vibes were going
Speaker 1: to be up. The vibes were actually a little bit
Speaker 1: low on Friday afternoon. Now, we've never been in the
Speaker 1: building on a Friday at HQ, and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: it was cloudy out, Yeah, it was. It was a
Speaker 1: regular January day in New York, New York.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in New York, New York.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean, That's what it was. And
Speaker 1: so I pull up in there and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: getting the vibe that like, I don't feel like people
Speaker 1: really are into this right now. Now, I was sad.
Speaker 1: I was happily mistaken because all of a sudden, Kate,
Speaker 1: who was our star player on our team, brings out
Speaker 1: all the stuff. She's making the things and basically it's
Speaker 1: just a lot of it's diabetes with a little bit
Speaker 1: of alcohol in it. And I am dreading. This was
Speaker 1: in the in the chat with Big Cat, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: can we just do a case race? But let me
Speaker 1: just sling twenty sugar. I'm trying, I'm thinking all the
Speaker 1: Sugar'm trying to get Jack Tree. Yes, So me and
Speaker 1: Roan make the decision. We're an other liquor storecross the street.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a handle of tequila and we're going
Speaker 1: to add that to it and kind of take out
Speaker 1: some of the sugar. Now was it a good decision?
Speaker 1: I like to think so. I like to think so
Speaker 1: because I would much rather have more alcohol in there
Speaker 1: than more sugar. So we do that.
Speaker 2: What I'm just thinking, I must I have more alcohol
Speaker 2: than sugar, Like, no, I don't want the candy bar.
Speaker 1: Give me a shot. Yeah, he exactly did, and it
Speaker 1: was a it was a really good time because I
Speaker 1: mentioned around like, hey, vibe seem a little bit down.
Speaker 1: He goes, Yeah, the vibes are down, but I guarantee
Speaker 1: as soon as we start, it's gonna be awesome. So
Speaker 1: we start the show.
Speaker 2: It was great after the case race, a lot of
Speaker 2: like scaries the next day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your boy was I legit scaries this morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's Monday. I've been on the phone.
Speaker 2: I've like said a couple of stories where I've laughed
Speaker 2: and You're like, hey, I'm getting a little anxiety you
Speaker 2: saying it like.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a very open individual, but I feel
Speaker 1: like when you're when you're drunk, now you're just the
Speaker 1: guy that's like talking too much, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that obviously I was telling the story, yeah, because
Speaker 1: I was trying to tell a story about how I
Speaker 1: got you a brick watch and also got to your brickwatch. Yes,
Speaker 1: but during the story, in my head, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to like sound like I'm soiling Charros. So
Speaker 1: I start going on this rampage for my life.
Speaker 2: And that's like the only thing wonderful woman You're like
Speaker 2: saying all the time I know.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like really trying to overcompensate because I don't
Speaker 1: want Chary to catch straight bullets in a story she's
Speaker 1: watching the tanks, gonna watch the tape for something. And
Speaker 1: then Will's like, yeah, you were like the drunk guy
Speaker 1: telling your life story, and I'm like, fuck, dude, I was,
Speaker 1: wasn't I Because that's really when shit started to get a
Speaker 1: little hazy for me. Then I was like really like drunk, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I had body was everybody was.
Speaker 2: The hard part is you're in those four walls. Everyone
Speaker 2: is drunk, like you're having a night with the fellas.
Speaker 1: You're just having a great group of guys. By the way,
Speaker 1: happens to be live.
Speaker 2: And on camera to where everybody else, the hundreds of
Speaker 2: thousands that end up watching it, are like sober, just
Speaker 2: watching it for entertainment, and everybody's kind of like, oh,
Speaker 2: this person reacted this way. That person reads that not
Speaker 2: taking it account of like, hey, everybody's just trying to
Speaker 2: have a good old time, have someting drinks and fucking
Speaker 2: enjoy some camaraderie. It sometimes it gets hazy, like last
Speaker 2: time you say she almost fought Shane, people were like
Speaker 2: you know, ragging on. I want to say it was
Speaker 2: like maybe a little sass. I know, Shane like wanted
Speaker 2: to off himself. He kept telling you. He's like, bro,
Speaker 2: I fucking hate being here, Like I wish I could
Speaker 2: take that case race back so bad, like.
Speaker 1: Ever for like a week streat and it's one of
Speaker 1: those deals. But at the end of the day, like
Speaker 1: it's Monday, we're seventy two hours post tank Grace, I
Speaker 1: would do it again. Yeah, it was. It was so
Speaker 1: much fun. I really wish the boy was there, and
Speaker 1: I understand you couldn't be there, but damn that I
Speaker 1: wish you were there after. You know, you guys have
Speaker 1: been at me when I drink like I don't for
Speaker 1: those of you who think like I drink a lot,
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking I'm a phony, bro, I am an
Speaker 1: absolute phony. So like when I do drink, though, I
Speaker 1: am legit trying to kill everyone around me with alcohol
Speaker 1: poisoning and myself included. So the boys want to go
Speaker 1: to this like pool haul after this. Once we go in,
Speaker 1: we're playing beer pong. Tommy Smokes is there and I
Speaker 1: just start funneling shots in. The boys get dude, I
Speaker 1: am drunk. Like like stumbling drunk getting the cab. I
Speaker 1: get a text from a wanton down and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you left your card here and the tabs open, So
Speaker 1: I think, fuck, man, if I don't get it now,
Speaker 1: like this is the logical thing, which I'm proud of.
Speaker 1: If I don't get this ship now, I am never
Speaker 1: going to get that card back again. And who knows
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to that card or how it's gonna get,
Speaker 1: you know, by the by the next morning. So I
Speaker 1: get down there, dude, and uh, I'll see all the
Speaker 1: boys and they're all still they're still cutting it up,
Speaker 1: having a good time. So then the logic went out
Speaker 1: the window. Was like I'm gonna still cut it out, dude.
Speaker 1: So we had a couple more drinks. Bro I walked
Speaker 1: up that billiard spot, dude, hit a hit a quick corner,
Speaker 1: found myself a little nookede and yacked everywhere like the
Speaker 1: one of them third time, because the amazing the tank
Speaker 1: race was legit, like what you know your own camera,
Speaker 1: but then after a while you don't know your own camera,
Speaker 1: and then people when people start bringing up throwing up,
Speaker 1: you realize again, I'm on camera. I can't be thrown up.
Speaker 1: But once it seemed like an option. I'm already drinking liquor, yeah,
Speaker 1: but once I'm on. Once the option came up, I
Speaker 1: think someone said I'm gonna or someone threw up first.
Speaker 1: I think it was a big cap and I was like, good,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw up too, because then you think that'll
Speaker 1: be funny. So you throw up, and then we threw
Speaker 1: up again at the end of the show, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm like in my head like, oh, you're probably not
Speaker 1: even drunk anymore, dude, you probably you're probably fine now.
Speaker 1: And then I legit, like consume me too much alcohol?
Speaker 1: On yeah, get back on ten dude, you get and
Speaker 1: walking like I don't know, twelve blocks back to my
Speaker 1: hotel room.
Speaker 2: Just absolutely yes, wow an bro, Well if not it
Speaker 2: felt like it, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it could have been a five minute walk
Speaker 1: for all I know. New York City, dude. I walk
Speaker 1: by this food truck, no one like. I walked by
Speaker 1: two food trucks. I was like, bro, I'm gonna smack
Speaker 1: some of that food. But there was lines, like five
Speaker 1: people waiting in line. I cannot wait for that. There's
Speaker 1: no way. Did you know. I kept walking and I
Speaker 1: right before I get to the hotel, there's one food
Speaker 1: truck with no one there, like, and then I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is a great idea to eat. This got some
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak looking thing. I think. Was it talking
Speaker 1: big shit? It was talking the most shit, dude, right
Speaker 1: as you.
Speaker 2: Let that food get away with what they said when
Speaker 2: you walk by that line earlier.
Speaker 1: It was really about the people, was the crowd. Usually
Speaker 1: you don't turn down when food's talking shit to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta handle it, dude, especially but my friends and
Speaker 1: my family, like it needs to catch hands. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: this food truck in particular, like it was all by itself.
Speaker 1: I look, you feel like I jumped this person, Like
Speaker 1: I mugged this food truck. Yeah, got the food, was
Speaker 1: eating it. Go buy some like little deli. And I
Speaker 1: noticed they have pintes of bet and Jerry's in there.
Speaker 1: So your boy had a sneak in there too. It said, hey,
Speaker 1: bub hey, fat ass, hey, you piece of shaite. You
Speaker 1: won't do nothing. You're not getting Jack twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: You won't do nothing to me. I said, you don't
Speaker 1: think I could eat you and not get jacket twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. He said, bett pussy, so I grabbed it.
Speaker 1: I grabbed I'm standing in line. This uh heavy set
Speaker 1: individual looks over and I don't know what it is, man,
Speaker 1: But this dude was that for the other team, will say.
Speaker 1: And he was trying to put a hole in one
Speaker 1: in me. Oh, Joey and the boy showed up, you know,
Speaker 1: wasn't Joey. It was the difference than the boy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of Joe Kamas's boy was sent out to come
Speaker 1: get me. Yeah, and I was like, oh, but at
Speaker 1: first I didn't realize Joey says he got an extra Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. Wait, hey I would have made that mistake
Speaker 1: probably who knows though, right he uh yeah? He This
Speaker 1: dude like I was talking to me and at first
Speaker 1: I'm think, wow, people in New York are actually super nice.
Speaker 1: This is crazy because you always hear like people in
Speaker 1: Northeast or assholes. Yeah, and I'm about to order, Yeah
Speaker 1: he wanted this asshole. I sit there and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I was like, uh, looking at more food because I
Speaker 1: was like, legit, is this ship talking shit too? Is
Speaker 1: this about the kitchen pants? Because I saw some dude
Speaker 1: in the back actually like watching that thing back there
Speaker 1: getting after it. And then after a while I realized, oh,
Speaker 1: this dude's trying to fuck me. You want to like
Speaker 1: share a hot dog or something. No, he's like where
Speaker 1: are you from? What you doing? Like, where are you going?
Speaker 1: After this? And then I like stepped in and I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this dude's trying to lay pipe on
Speaker 1: me right now as you were going this is my
Speaker 1: hotel room. This, yeah, let him know, but make sure
Speaker 1: you get out of there. I got out of there,
Speaker 1: and then I went home, and bro, I think I
Speaker 1: slept for twelve hours.
Speaker 2: But you know how that is when you sleep, you just.
Speaker 1: Close your eye. Yeah, yeah, you just close your eyes.
Speaker 1: Then you don't know what happened. I know. And the
Speaker 1: next day I woke up. Boys and girls, if you
Speaker 1: were under the age of twenty five, like, count your blessings,
Speaker 1: because when you drink after the age of twenty five,
Speaker 1: especially when you hit thirty, death is upon you. Jackie,
Speaker 1: How like do you get hungover like that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say so. I'm twenty eight now, so.
Speaker 4: Only gets worse, brother, it only gets worse, has progressively
Speaker 4: gotten worse. I remember in college, you just you go
Speaker 4: out on like a Friday night, you had like maybe
Speaker 4: one class and you're drinking at one pm and then
Speaker 4: you go all the way and then Saturday wake up
Speaker 4: and you just bounce back.
Speaker 3: You're like maybe you feel a little.
Speaker 4: Nonausetrous for a sec and then it's like you now
Speaker 4: celebrate it. Oh, you celebrate it. Yeah, it's almost like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting the age.
Speaker 4: I'm getting a little older, Like look at me, like
Speaker 4: a little scruff in there. But no, once you get
Speaker 4: out of college, yeah, twenty five, I think's a good measurement.
Speaker 4: Right when do you hit the backside of your your twenties,
Speaker 4: it's all down hill forever forever.
Speaker 1: He was no more than anything, too bro. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and then that Saturday, dude, the thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: do the most was go to that bath house. And
Speaker 1: I ended up going with Nicky and uh, this dude
Speaker 1: named what was his name? Bath house with Nick Tronni Nick? Yes, yes, awesome, Oh,
Speaker 1: with him and his boy don Me. He does the
Speaker 1: cooking and he used to he used to work Cheff.

Speaker 1: hours in this bathhouse, dude, just sweating out all the
Speaker 1: demons and legit. I was like talking to God halfway through,
Speaker 1: Like Nick was talking to me, like just talking how
Speaker 1: funny is Nick? He's fucking hilarious. But he was also
Speaker 1: talking about bro Yeah, his next level. Yeah, I really think, Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he does in the next
Speaker 1: like five ten years. Yes, I feel like he's gonna
Speaker 1: blow up. Yeah, he's stud And it was It was
Speaker 1: fun to be around them, but you know how it
Speaker 1: is when you're hungover too, You're like, I really don't
Speaker 1: feel like talking to nobody. But at the end of it,
Speaker 1: I was like grateful because I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: would have just sat in that Russian bath house by myself,
Speaker 1: and it was fucking packed, packed Russians everywhere. Just have
Speaker 1: you set guys with towels on heavy set dudes with chains.
Speaker 1: So like there was a shitload of tatted people ship,
Speaker 1: like tatted head to toe. Oh god, it's kind of scary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm tatted, and I was legit, like, hey, am
Speaker 1: I gonna be? They got to have friends here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm saying they might have recruited you if you were. No,
Speaker 1: I might have been. I might have not came back.

Speaker 2: Yeah, Caleb, you know Caleb Bliss here, but uh, Jeff Shoddy,
Speaker 2: Jeff Shoddy, we call him Shoddy, but the big big beasts,
Speaker 2: He's the beast.
Speaker 1: Uh. We hung out, we watched the games, We watched

Speaker 1: the pancake pantry Saturday morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get to wait in a line.
Speaker 1: No, we went at like eight in the morning because
Speaker 1: kids trying to.
Speaker 3: Feel like the line usually then like.
Speaker 2: That's like when it was starting. That's when I was starting.

Speaker 2: a nice little chocolate milk. You know how it goes
Speaker 2: as anyone should, like.
Speaker 1: A king should. Did the number the number one recovery
Speaker 1: drink or the number one uh work out courvery covery drink?

Speaker 1: the clips and I did tweet this out. I'm happy
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 2: Bro, that was a phenomenal comeback by them. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: were down bad. It was twenty seven nothing, And I say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I saw the Lawrence through four picks. Lawrence, I keep saying, justin.
Speaker 4: Don't I keep telling all the wrong names for qvs.
Speaker 3: But it's almost like we needed it's almost funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Cody Burney. Yeah, I heard from a
Speaker 1: very reliable source that will not say that Brock pretty sucks.
Speaker 1: He just has mutants around him and that's why he's successful.
Speaker 2: Well, and then I was showed evidently like subjectively sucks,
Speaker 2: like what are we talking here? Sucks, like hey, we
Speaker 2: can make the quarterback of the forty nine ers, you know.
Speaker 1: Like he's being made to be much better than he
Speaker 1: actually is. I did not say that, and I know
Speaker 1: we joke about that. I llegit did not say that.
Speaker 1: Someone told me that, and they put on film and
Speaker 1: they're like, watch this game, watch all these throws, and
Speaker 1: they're pointing out some stuff. I was like, damn, because
Speaker 1: there was one over the middle Doue was wide open,
Speaker 1: would have been touchdown a couple of he has some
Speaker 1: studs in front of it. Like that team is the
Speaker 1: most stacked team in the NFL. Other than quarterback. The
Speaker 1: two best overall teams are the forty nine Ers and
Speaker 1: the Beagles.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at the Chiefs, the Bengals, who else
Speaker 2: got Bill's Tampa Bengals Bills. Let's start with there. If
Speaker 2: you remove their quarterback. Yeah, they're there. Their team's not
Speaker 2: winning another game, probably not most likely not winning going
Speaker 2: any farther than the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yea, in the.
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers league as well, right, No, they were
Speaker 2: still winning. Gardner minshew, he can still he can still
Speaker 2: sling it. I mean they got some beat. He's they're
Speaker 2: surrounded by beasts on that on that teamwhere's everywhere on
Speaker 2: that team. But the Niners, you almost just need a facilitator.
Speaker 2: They've showed you there. They're on their third quarterback this year.
Speaker 1: Third.
Speaker 5: You could you could argue too that the offense has
Speaker 5: never looked this good either.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, Like, yeah, maybe maybe he's quote unquote shitty, but
Speaker 2: he's still dishing like three or four touchdowns a game
Speaker 2: for a rookie, for a seventh round.
Speaker 1: Pick, never scored forty one. Yeah, yeah, he's mister, He's
Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft. Legendary.
Speaker 3: That to me makes me want to cheer for the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers. Dude, the same irrelevant can win the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Imagine how many kids, you know, whatever age they're at,
Speaker 4: Like that gives hope to a lot of kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like another like you know, not saying he's
Speaker 2: Tom Brady because I know that can get taken out
Speaker 2: of context.
Speaker 1: But it's like one of those Brady stories. He was
Speaker 1: drafted in the sixth round.
Speaker 2: Like it's like, Okay, he sucks, but it's like, well,
Speaker 2: he wasn't a first round It wasn't. It's not like
Speaker 2: he's a first round draft pick. Not saying that seventh
Speaker 2: rounders suck, but they're not for him to go in
Speaker 2: there as the last pick of the.
Speaker 1: Draft and ball.
Speaker 2: I mean I saw stat their first five starts as
Speaker 2: a forty nine er. He had eleven touchdowns to Joe
Speaker 2: Montana and Steve Young's like six and seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something crazy like that.
Speaker 2: It's like, Yo, you're just rooting for the dude because
Speaker 2: he's like he's the underdog.
Speaker 1: It's like the story that everybody loves, the old underdog story.
Speaker 1: And to play against the narrative I was told too,
Speaker 1: is it is only his first five starts in the
Speaker 1: NFL as a rookie, right, like he legit could be.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna get better. People just get better.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about think about those think about those
Speaker 2: guys at practice starting the year. If he was on
Speaker 2: practice squad, or he's probably not even taking reps, or
Speaker 2: he's just in this cut team.
Speaker 1: He's just throwing cards. He wasn't he's in the back
Speaker 1: while the team's going like doing mimicking off.
Speaker 2: Actively and then to go in that week and take
Speaker 2: over a team. Now, obviously it's a well oiled machine.
Speaker 2: Like the Niners are dangerous, dangerous, but you still got
Speaker 2: to operate. But in Shanahan's system and with all that
Speaker 2: telling around you, you just kind of need an operator.
Speaker 2: You don't need, you know, the Josh Allens of the world,
Speaker 2: Like they've built their roster everywhere else around the quarterback.
Speaker 2: It's impressive. Niners are tough, man. I think that I
Speaker 2: like the Niners to win it all. I think they're
Speaker 2: my feeling pick. I think the Niners are my Super
Speaker 2: Bowl pick. What about Tampa Bay? No, I think I
Speaker 2: think now this comes out. This is coming out right now.
Speaker 2: The game happened last night. We're recording the Monday day morning. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's Monday afternoon. I think if they win this game,
Speaker 2: I think this is where they stop. Like I think
Speaker 2: they could come out beat the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Who they play next. Forty nine Ers. Now stop, here's
Speaker 1: what I was told, and this is from this source,
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can do
Speaker 1: a great job of just playing man coverage and still
Speaker 1: getting pressure on the quarterback and making pretty throw elite throws. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm and that could and that could be a downfall party.
Speaker 1: I hope, I am hoping watching this playoffs, I hope
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers win the Super Bowl. And I'll
Speaker 1: go with you on that. Who do you think's got
Speaker 1: the best shot to win the Super Bowl? I think
Speaker 1: it's a dude, It's a I mean, Bill's Chiefs, Niners,
Speaker 1: Eagles are like the four teams. I would you know
Speaker 1: who I think can make some noise? The Jackions. Oh,
Speaker 1: I would love to say the Jags. I think the
Speaker 1: Jags could too.
Speaker 2: On the AFC side, I'm talking like, maybe actually hit
Speaker 2: a little super Bowl run Giants because I think what's
Speaker 2: the head coach's name.
Speaker 1: Day ball day ball, day ball day ball.
Speaker 2: I think he's got I think the team fucking loves
Speaker 2: playing for him and Daniel Jones he was he was
Speaker 2: shredding it last night against the Vikings. But they could
Speaker 2: It's like it's like they could have hit this spark
Speaker 2: right at the right time, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: like have all the kind of pieces and kind of
Speaker 2: make a run. Now again, they would have to get
Speaker 2: past the Niners and the Eagles. I think Eagles Niners,
Speaker 2: They're fucking tough top to bottom. And then on the
Speaker 2: AFC side you have Mahomes, you got Josh Allen with
Speaker 2: the Bills, Joe Burrow with the Bengals.
Speaker 1: But again, the Jaguars could even make some noise too.
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars make some noise. I don't think
Speaker 1: they get passed, either the Chiefs or the Bills. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think the road ends with one of those two.
Speaker 1: Could be this week.
Speaker 2: But I can legit see the Jaguars beating the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: like sneaking one in there on the Chiefs. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: they had a bye week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know how it is last year the Titans, dude,
Speaker 1: twenty one Titans. I think Darry bro.
Speaker 4: One of those teams, Eagles or Chiefs could go down
Speaker 4: next Saturday or someday.
Speaker 1: Now. The good thing about having a bye week with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs is they've been there, they've gone through the playoffs,
Speaker 1: they've made it all the way that they know what
Speaker 1: that process is like, so that might not be as
Speaker 1: much of a factor for them as it would be
Speaker 1: it was like for the Titans or you know, name
Speaker 1: any other one seed team the Ravens in twenty nineteen, Like,
Speaker 1: you never know, but I could see the I can
Speaker 1: see the Jags possibly winning this one. I don't think
Speaker 1: they win the AFC South or the AFC Championship, but bro,
Speaker 1: this is a good setup of teams AFC, I mean Bengals, Chiefs, Bills,
Speaker 1: like the top three there and then Eagles forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be if they are the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers and Eagles both make it, it would be
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship. Correct, the one two seed. I
Speaker 1: think that is an elite game that's gonna be so
Speaker 1: much fun for people to watch.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be tough to beat the Niners.
Speaker 2: I think they got the fucking formula. I think they
Speaker 2: got the pieces. Yeah, I think they're believing it too.
Speaker 2: They fucked. They were almost there from.
Speaker 1: Big cock Brock, dude, big cock Rock party.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's what somebody had a sign out there because
Speaker 2: talking about big cock Brock, Big cock Brock.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, back to what you were saying about Tampa Bay.
Speaker 5: The brock Perty win against uh, that same Tampa Bay team,
Speaker 5: I want to say three weeks ago and went sixteen
Speaker 5: for twenty one two touchdowns. So whatever they tried on
Speaker 5: that first game didn't matter. He still got past them.
Speaker 5: I think it might be worse this time. Which game
Speaker 5: the forty nine Ers versus Buccaneers if they see each
Speaker 5: other again that they played I want to say three
Speaker 5: weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Bucks. I mean, you know, Bucks could
Speaker 2: be hot at the right time, man. I mean, Tom
Speaker 2: Brady's been dishing it and Jensen's it ever since that divorce.
Speaker 1: Broon's playing today, that's.
Speaker 2: Just that's insane that he's playing like five months after
Speaker 2: having partial tearors and on however many whatever, however many ligaments.
Speaker 2: I saw multiple ligaments to his knee, including the a cl.
Speaker 1: That is crazy. Our our guest is going to be
Speaker 1: on next week. Just got to the bus, so we
Speaker 1: should wrap it up pretty soon. Do you want to
Speaker 1: tease that the tease next week? He's next week.
Speaker 2: I don't want to tease it too much. If there
Speaker 2: was a teaser, you know, there's a lot to look
Speaker 2: forward to. Let's just say vintage nineties black shirts. That's
Speaker 2: all I'll give you.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, that was elite.
Speaker 2: That was an elite teaser because our banger guests, obviously,
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna do uh be very highly viewed.
Speaker 2: With Derrick Henry coming on the bus. Yeah, that's our
Speaker 2: guest today. Who is you know, obviously the King. We
Speaker 2: talk about a lot of good ship. Yeah, we need
Speaker 2: to hit our shout out, no free shout out. Do
Speaker 2: we do it tier talk or do we kind of?
Speaker 1: I think we will put We'll do what we talked
Speaker 1: about before. Okay, before we before we do our shoutowt
Speaker 1: nofree shoutout? What what are your two teams? The NFC Championship,
Speaker 1: AFC Championship.
Speaker 2: I think if if I was you know, if I'm
Speaker 2: gonna bet the bus, I would say Eagles Niners will
Speaker 2: be the NFC Championship and the AFC Championship. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say who's playing who? Who's set the play next week?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, uh, Bills and Jaguars.
Speaker 1: You know you will die on that sword, bros. Gonna
Speaker 1: be going through with will content.
Speaker 4: But I will say, because the Chiefs were after you
Speaker 4: and the mentions, if that the Jags pulled out, you
Speaker 4: you have them on a leash for the rest the
Speaker 4: rest of the year.
Speaker 1: A good point, Jackie.
Speaker 2: They kept the receipts on me saying the division winners
Speaker 2: like they were going in the minute.
Speaker 4: There's no going back too, So it's like one more
Speaker 4: shot and it's you.
Speaker 1: I like, I like your NFC picks, but I gotta
Speaker 1: go that. That Bengals Bills game I think is going
Speaker 1: to be intense, But the Bengals broke my heart last year,
Speaker 1: so I might be speaking emotionally, but I'm going Chiefs
Speaker 1: Bills in the ANFC Championships. Bills, what are you going? NFC?
Speaker 1: Same NFC. I'm gonna go Niners Eagles. I think Niners
Speaker 1: go back to the Super Bowl, I think. And if
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chiefs play, they play in Atlanta, correct,
Speaker 1: both teams travel. Well, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the Bills in the Super Bowl against the Niners.
Speaker 3: So another week to talk about it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, that's true, and it might change, right, everything
Speaker 1: subject subject to change really won't change. But next week, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get into it.
Speaker 6: Then.
Speaker 1: If the Jags upset the Chiefs, congratulations I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Victory lapsed the way Emmanuel Acho is hitting.
Speaker 2: Victory laps on the Chargers losing a little and that
Speaker 2: little what's up. Oh, mitch Man, I'm to the back
Speaker 2: of the bus. I know, I'm on the camera back there. Dude,
Speaker 2: got them the step stool back there to say that's
Speaker 2: not gonna happen. You don't need to say anything. I
Speaker 2: know you believe the Chiefs are gonna win. Odds and
Speaker 2: everything else. Yes, we understand this is a like David
Speaker 2: vers Goliath matchup, but the Jaguars could have a little
Speaker 2: bit of that magic in that second half from coming back,
Speaker 2: So you never know something you want to reflect on.
Speaker 1: With the Derek Henry episode, let's see get into a
Speaker 1: lot of cool stuff with Derek. He goes on a
Speaker 1: nice little spiel about mental health. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be very effective for a lot of people that
Speaker 1: just think that football players don't deal with stuff, especially
Speaker 1: once as the lead is Derek don't really have something
Speaker 1: to resonate with that.
Speaker 2: In the same breath, not thinking like oh, people need
Speaker 2: to be like oh these guys, yeah, you know, feel
Speaker 2: sorry for the spots that we're in, Like we understand
Speaker 2: that talking the scope of like.
Speaker 1: It's understanding that everyone goes through something, whether you're on
Speaker 1: a pedestal in life or you're not in a pestal life.
Speaker 1: People go through stuff all time, and I think it's
Speaker 1: it's a cool little insight to see how Derek a
Speaker 1: few stings or sees how stuff happens. What else talks
Speaker 1: about the season I asked him about, Hey, when dudes
Speaker 1: get hurt, how does that affect you from a mental standpoint?
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Derek puts a lot of pressure on himself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the phenomenal thing. And I think one thing that
Speaker 1: we need to start pushing, maybe to Dereck Henry is
Speaker 1: possibly getting Will Compton a Derek Henry Jersey or maybe
Speaker 1: I might have to hook him up with a Will.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have one.
Speaker 2: He doesn't He hasn't made my list, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Yeah, he's working his way into my tight circle.
Speaker 1: Though Also, I feel like something I want to get
Speaker 1: ahead of because I know a lot of people were
Speaker 1: on us when we asked theare compans we got paid
Speaker 1: for Bama? Last time? You will hear Bama fans, you
Speaker 1: might not enjoy what me and Will have to say
Speaker 1: to Derek during this just know it's all in good
Speaker 1: fun boys, but Georgia Bulldogs are the king of the sec.
Speaker 2: I'd like to get ahead of something too, Bama. I
Speaker 2: meant every fucking thing.
Speaker 1: That I oh wait, get a quick shout out, no

Speaker 1: oh the other day, I r guys. They go in,
Speaker 1: they do their own thing, like a week before before
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game. Obviously the training staff didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of faith in the boys. But I go in
Speaker 1: because I know the boys are going out. There's the
Speaker 1: team meeting and I want to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: See all the guys and Derek signing shoes, signed shoes
Speaker 1: for Ben Jones, and I walk over. Maybe I can
Speaker 1: get me a pair of them King Henry's shoes. I
Speaker 1: go up to Derek and I'm like, hey man, let
Speaker 1: me get a pair of those. And he's like, looks
Speaker 1: at me. You're on the team. He looks, these are
Speaker 1: for you, and he picked them, like goes, I'll give
Speaker 1: you the white ones. These are for you, and signs
Speaker 1: them and puts to Taylor Lawan to the boys seventy
Speaker 1: seven but very very strict on these are for you.
Speaker 1: Is there like something behind that that makes you like,
Speaker 1: I feel like you gotta make sure people know this
Speaker 1: is for you, not for anybody else.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just send this for you I'm signing to you personalized,
Speaker 8: personalize them to you and benepar that we've been teammates
Speaker 8: for the longest me, you and Ben. Let's make sure
Speaker 8: that people see him, it, says Taylor Wan the Boy
Speaker 8: seventy seven.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like teammates have ever taken advantage of
Speaker 2: getting King Henry memorabilia?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 8: I mean sometimes they acts more than you know, once
Speaker 8: or twice or three times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's all cool about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Good.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Are you like big on
Speaker 1: with teammates? Do you? Is it anybody will just say
Speaker 1: practice squad guy, rookie, let me get a jersey?
Speaker 8: Are you like if I if I wrote with you
Speaker 8: like that and you know we've been cool and you
Speaker 8: know we put in work together, then I have no
Speaker 8: problem no matter if you rat the squad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're a starter. It don't matter.
Speaker 8: But you know, some guys kind of push the buttons
Speaker 8: a little bit, but everything else it's pretty much cool
Speaker 8: with some guys.
Speaker 6: You know, they want to ask.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, uh, the opportunity making for myself because
Speaker 2: I haven't I haven't got you know, I haven't got
Speaker 2: a jersey.
Speaker 1: You might not ever, Yeah, I know, but I do
Speaker 1: have mine hanging up right above my cold rock with
Speaker 1: I'm like we rock together. Once I was thinking I
Speaker 1: might have to. If your team went through, you probably
Speaker 1: would have probablyould have got out to Atlanta shift it over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's because there are guys. I remember walking in and dudes,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's doing jerseys and sign and stuff. Some
Speaker 1: dudes are just giving jerseys just to give them. And
Speaker 1: I had like two or three guys come up to
Speaker 1: me and be like, you think you think Derek would
Speaker 1: give me a jersey. I was like, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't really see Derek sign.
Speaker 2: If you're asking another teammate to know of, like, hey,
Speaker 2: you think I could ask Derek, then that should be
Speaker 2: your answer. That should be the answering feel good enough
Speaker 2: to go ask, And that's you know, like.
Speaker 1: I remember when you got the Russian title twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: the nineteen. If he has nineteen you got, you give
Speaker 1: all the offensive Linemen jerseys and all of us kind
Speaker 1: of starting like damn, he didn't really sign stuff like that.
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. Rolli's up for the boys,
Speaker 1: was it fifteen sixty four, fifteen forty, fifteen forty, what's
Speaker 1: fifteen forty. That's some of the yards he rushed for
Speaker 1: and he needed like two thirty in the last game.
Speaker 1: Yeah to beat Chubb.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but no, No, But for the jersey thing, I
Speaker 8: just you know, I value my jersey. I value my
Speaker 8: personal belongings. I just don't want to give him out
Speaker 8: to anybody. I feel like when you work for something
Speaker 8: so hard, and you know, you put a lot of
Speaker 8: work in and it's a lot into you know, the
Speaker 8: jersey and a lot invested that, I just want to
Speaker 8: give it out to anybody. But if we have a
Speaker 8: special relationship and we've been rocking for a long time,
Speaker 8: then I won't have no problem.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I'm you know, I'm scheming in
Speaker 1: my head right now. Yeah, you're gonna get that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get you that jersey in due time. In due time. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play my hand too.
Speaker 8: Well, you know what I was thinking about the other day,
Speaker 8: Remember whenever we were the COVID year we did the
Speaker 8: bus cut, yeah, Piggy Blinder, and they just stopped like
Speaker 8: doing photos for us, like when we went to the
Speaker 8: plane and like, yes, you know you were just like
Speaker 8: tweaking out everybody's outfit and was.
Speaker 1: Like I would think about the other day. I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: that was.
Speaker 8: It was a crazy time, boy, because we could get
Speaker 8: a photo.
Speaker 2: We couldn't do nothing, remember because I before the flight,
Speaker 2: I went to Garrett's house so I could.
Speaker 9: Get Yeah, yeah, I know comer.
Speaker 2: Never we'll never or not the joke, but the whole
Speaker 2: thing will never come full circle. Everyone thinks I'm just
Speaker 2: I look absolutely they missed some legendary stuff that year. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The best part about that was the Titans literally put
Speaker 1: you on the injury report, I know, actual like Twitter
Speaker 1: official injury report for your haircut.
Speaker 2: Like made that day a little bit easier because that
Speaker 2: Remember we were practicing on Christmas and it was freezing.
Speaker 1: Remember this, bro I was That was my first d A
Speaker 1: c l Oh yeah, I've really been around the last
Speaker 1: couple of years.
Speaker 6: Bub Wow was that Houston?
Speaker 1: Uh Houston Week five? Yeah? Yeah Houston?
Speaker 6: Wee?
Speaker 1: That was that was right before, wasn't it? No? I
Speaker 1: told we were five? We beat Houston.
Speaker 8: We were five, and oh no, we beat We beat
Speaker 8: the Bills and we played Houston that that same week.
Speaker 8: We played on Tuesday. We played Houston that Sunday. Yes,
Speaker 8: because oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Because all that cod ship, we legit proved that we
Speaker 1: didn't need practice anymore, sponsored by Zoom sponsored.
Speaker 8: Then we played I think we played the Stillers right
Speaker 8: after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that was a That was a weird
Speaker 2: and also legendary year.
Speaker 6: That was a weird Yea.
Speaker 2: We lost that first round the playoffs, which was a
Speaker 2: fucking bummer because we dogged y'all have been like dogged them,
Speaker 2: but in the fourth quarter dog the Ravens that year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all should have beat the Ravens for real. I know,
Speaker 1: look at us reminiscent on the old days war stories,
Speaker 1: the boys just talking more stories to be back on
Speaker 1: the bus.
Speaker 6: I'm hype man long it's been a year and a half.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been to two years. Last time
Speaker 1: you even't been here? Have you come on here? Not
Speaker 1: not this location. It was a yearly thing.
Speaker 6: I used to do it after the season. I think
Speaker 6: I did it at the nineteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but next morning I went to uh Texas, Texas
Speaker 2: early early, quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is Dereck Henry's off season look like? Like?
Speaker 1: As soon as the season ends, obviously we can get
Speaker 1: into how the season went a little bit. But for
Speaker 1: you interviews happened two days after. What do you do
Speaker 1: right after that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Packing, getting everything ready to go to Dallas. My girl
Speaker 8: likes to get right out of here and go back
Speaker 8: to Dallas as quick as possible. She loves textas she's
Speaker 8: from Texas. And then once you do that, get all
Speaker 8: the stuff ready to get it shipped, car, ship everything,
Speaker 8: ship the dogs, get the Texas and by that time,
Speaker 8: you know, if I want to work out, I'll probably
Speaker 8: work out a little bit until Pro Bowl and Super
Speaker 8: Bowl and all those and all those things, and once
Speaker 8: I get back from there, I think it's just going
Speaker 8: right into it. But I mean I might, i might
Speaker 8: take trips here and there, but I'm still gonna work out.
Speaker 8: But it's not like working out like going right into
Speaker 8: football training. But it's just like working out to stay fixed.
Speaker 8: I love working out like like like like I'm gonna
Speaker 8: do that whenever I'm done playing because I just love
Speaker 8: working out, you know, I love being fit. This I
Speaker 8: can't sit around just something that that I can't do.
Speaker 8: So that's just something that I've always done, is working out.
Speaker 8: Even whough I was little. I mean my cousin be
Speaker 8: older than me. They have like weights and I'll be
Speaker 8: using them doing push ups and then wait about two days,
Speaker 8: I want to see my muscles gonna grow. I'm like, man,
Speaker 8: what's going on now? Keeping push ups and sit ups?
Speaker 8: But I just love working out. That's what I've always
Speaker 8: been infastuated with. And you know, even when I'm done,
Speaker 8: that's what I'll probably do is work out and you
Speaker 8: fit and doing all that type of stuff.
Speaker 2: When you say like, when you get done, you'll be
Speaker 2: doing something in that in the work out world, like
Speaker 2: what does it look like?
Speaker 1: Like? What do you know what you want to do?
Speaker 1: Or you try to be like, I don't know, not
Speaker 1: not like that. That's too much.

Speaker 8: to him, no free shoutouts. Yeah, but probably I don't know.
Speaker 8: I was talking to somebody. I might do some crow

Speaker 8: the pull ups and put the stuff up over the bar.
Speaker 6: I might want to try that one day.
Speaker 1: Level.

Speaker 1: was about that stuff like that's hilarious thuff. It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: this might impact you. Uh you playing well? You were
Speaker 1: kind of nervous about it, right. You were telling me
Speaker 1: that had you in the and the tight fit and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, I don't know about this. And
Speaker 1: they gave you like a little lacrosse penny and they
Speaker 1: gave me like a little like you know when of

Speaker 2: Used to cover myself over with them, Like man, they
Speaker 2: want me to get up in this little slim stuff

Speaker 1: You know, I'm not in that good a shade way.
Speaker 1: We're ready more weeks, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're ready. That
Speaker 1: whole process with you doing that is wild. They can't
Speaker 1: wait for you to write a book. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, speaking of other players like Russell Wilson, have
Speaker 1: you seen this stuff with Odell Beckham Junior the Plan incident? Yes,
Speaker 1: I saw that. That's crazy. Yeah. You do you know
Speaker 1: who KFC is, KFC one minute man on barstool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's always doing like one minute rants on barstool sports.
Speaker 1: This person's acting like this, and he gives his opinion
Speaker 1: on it, and he just lets it live on the internet.
Speaker 8: I might have seen something on Twitter one time, but
Speaker 8: I haven't really not not really. I don't really know too.
Speaker 1: He has this rant saying this is the biggest you
Speaker 1: you've seen the video more recently? Yeah, yah yah. He
Speaker 1: was talking about like Odell how it seemed like he
Speaker 1: was sleep.
Speaker 2: He was like asleep because he came straight from the
Speaker 2: club to get on the plane after Thanksgiving. He's sleeping
Speaker 2: on the plane, didn't necessarily put on a seatbelt, wasn't
Speaker 2: like following orders or whatever, and so then they had
Speaker 2: it seems like what the police or fired a paramedics.
Speaker 6: They're paramedics.
Speaker 1: They're like, if if he's going to refuse help, we
Speaker 1: can't give him help.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're saying he's like unresponsible to It's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: basically he's like sleep and he's not really wanting to
Speaker 2: engage with like putting the seat the in first class
Speaker 2: rood because he's like laying down. The seat's fully like
Speaker 2: laying down. So he came over and asked him, do
Speaker 2: you know where you're at?
Speaker 1: He says yeah. They're like, I mean he knows where
Speaker 1: he's at, and they're like, is his pants on?
Speaker 2: Because apparently I guess he had his pants off at first,
Speaker 2: Like all his pants are on now, and they're like, well,
Speaker 2: how do we go about this, and they're trying to
Speaker 2: get him.
Speaker 1: I guess ultimately put on a seatbelt.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it was, and just like follow
Speaker 2: the directions and like we're gonna have to deboard everybody
Speaker 2: off the plane if you're not willing to cooperate, and
Speaker 2: he wasn't like trying to talk to any of the workers,
Speaker 2: so they end up deboarding everybody off the plane. He flames,
Speaker 2: he fires off on some like old white dude because
Speaker 2: Odell claims he was saying everything but the N word
Speaker 2: to me. He's like, this shit don't matter to me, dude.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'll be on a private plane. Well you
Speaker 2: guys got to get back on this plane. And it
Speaker 2: starts flaming him. You know, some nice humor with this,
Speaker 2: some nice He's like, enjoy the cheese board afterwards. So
Speaker 2: that's basically the idea of what happened, and now everybody's
Speaker 2: got an opinion on it. Me, I'm thinking, bro, just
Speaker 2: put on the seatbelt, like yeah, like you might be tired. Like,
Speaker 2: let's just say all of that is true. He comes
Speaker 2: from the club, he gets on the play, I get
Speaker 2: your you're sleepy.
Speaker 1: Like we've all we've all had like where you're grog
Speaker 1: and shit like that.
Speaker 2: But we're talking about d boarding the plane. And then
Speaker 2: he sat there until everybody gets off the plane. So
Speaker 2: everybody's like, he's I'm just gonna chill here until everybody
Speaker 2: gets off the plane. Everybody's gotta take their bags out
Speaker 2: of the fucking overhead and get off the plane.
Speaker 1: There's a level of a Odell where I'm knowing Odell
Speaker 1: for the few times i've been around a deal. He
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Yeah, he doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like a dude that would make that stuff happen
Speaker 1: because it's a great like because he wants to because
Speaker 1: he thinks he's Odell. But if I'm him in that situation,
Speaker 1: even if I am fucked up and I was at
Speaker 1: the club and I had to get on the plane,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, hey, people, this is going to be a story.
Speaker 1: I actually put the damn seatbelt on, right, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. Like me, I'm just thinking, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: put the seatbelt on.
Speaker 7: Bro.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I can't even speak how somebody gonna react, especially with Odell,
Speaker 8: with you know, all the stuff he's going through, Ben
Speaker 8: and mea, and people portray him as one thing, and
Speaker 8: you know, you always got to defend itself, and he
Speaker 8: being out in Miami, you know, living his life and
Speaker 8: then get on the plane and fall asleep and all
Speaker 8: of a sudden you wake up and there's cops and
Speaker 8: everybody just looking at you. I mean, you know how,
Speaker 8: I mean, everybody can react different. So I think he
Speaker 8: was just like, dang, like it's like, what is it now?
Speaker 8: But by that time, you you're in a deep sit
Speaker 8: you waking up. He was like, whoa, what's going on?
Speaker 8: You gotta you gotta, you know, realization what's going on?
Speaker 8: And you know, I mean, I can't tell how nobody
Speaker 8: anybody's gonna react. But you know all that's going on now,
Speaker 8: all you doing this line and falling.
Speaker 2: Asleep because ultimately all you got is like you know,
Speaker 2: the tweets we see right social media, four minute video.
Speaker 1: It's not like we have all.
Speaker 8: The But then but then I think, if you know,
Speaker 8: once he woke up and I was going on. At
Speaker 8: that point, he probably already knew it was gonna be
Speaker 8: out there because I mean, phones and everybody gets a
Speaker 8: hold get a video or something.
Speaker 6: You alread knew at that point. So it's like, I mean,
Speaker 6: it is what it is.
Speaker 2: You know, you're in the say, you know you're in
Speaker 2: the media big and you have there like whatever the
Speaker 2: perceptions are, they get painted YadA YadA, like you almost
Speaker 2: just think, okay, I need to almost over correct the
Speaker 2: other side, just so everybody knows, like.
Speaker 1: Super compassive, feel like, hey, I fucked everybody put their
Speaker 1: bag you know, hey, everybody put their bags of. Listen, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the seatbelt on. Can we fly this plane? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got that, you're growing out. Hey, everybody put your
Speaker 1: bags back on. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Right, But at the same time, but then you know,
Speaker 8: they they take him off the plane. But then you
Speaker 8: hear the police say, yes, his plans on. He's aware,
Speaker 8: he was asleep. He probably just tired. He's like, what
Speaker 8: do y'all want us to do? I mean, like he
Speaker 8: he's aware, he's alert, I mean, and then they were
Speaker 8: saying that he wasn't putting a seatbelt on at that time,
Speaker 8: I feel like he wasn't doing anything wrong. I feel like,
Speaker 8: you know, at that point, he was just like I
Speaker 8: just want to fly and go home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And just like.
Speaker 2: Because it's like, well, what do you guys want to do,
Speaker 2: It's like, well, let's ask him one more time. Let's
Speaker 2: just say, can you put the seatbelt on so we
Speaker 2: can take off?
Speaker 8: But if he wasn't putting a seatbelt on, then it's
Speaker 8: just like, I mean, I mean, it's on you at
Speaker 8: that point.
Speaker 1: You just like but yeah, also like we've been on planes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like when you're when you play football, Like you get
Speaker 1: on the plane, you're sitting there and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: planes can offer.
Speaker 8: Person, I'm on the plane and I want I don't
Speaker 8: feel like getting off. I'm gonna go to a cup
Speaker 8: on the seat we can go.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, you go to the club.
Speaker 1: You do whatever you want. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you do what you do.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to get what you're trying to go to
Speaker 8: this you seat, gonna let them go they be you
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to de escalate the situation.
Speaker 8: But you know, I don't know how everybody else is doing,
Speaker 8: how the internet work.
Speaker 1: I wonder they should have just waited for him to
Speaker 1: fall back asleep and then like buckled him up like
Speaker 1: kind of like just grid them just fucking go. Like see,
Speaker 1: I don't think that.
Speaker 8: So then my question, I don't think that somebody could
Speaker 8: have did that. This made it like even me like
Speaker 8: this ease and put the seat bet on, because you
Speaker 8: could have did that quickly if he was out.
Speaker 9: He probably want to have felt that anyway, right, like
Speaker 9: just because because the time that least, Yeah, put your phone,
Speaker 9: take a little phone and got him. Especially especially you
Speaker 9: got the why because I hadn't been on the post
Speaker 9: and I didn't.
Speaker 8: Once you laid back, you be out and it's been time.
Speaker 8: I have food plates and I wake up and everything going.
Speaker 8: So it's been easy to put the seat bel on
Speaker 8: and just let's take called.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: If they did that, we have to get Odell All
Speaker 2: needs to come on the podcast talk through that brothers
Speaker 2: we had got as like the same week or like
Speaker 2: six days apart, So he's got to come on.
Speaker 1: You guys ever like talk or connect over. That was
Speaker 1: the first one. That was the first one where yeah,
Speaker 1: he got done. But the same person I got done
Speaker 1: the first time, and we would like talk like, how's
Speaker 1: your surgery going, Oh, mine's great, how's your going? And
Speaker 1: then there was like a level of us both like
Speaker 1: pretending like everything was great. Yeah, and then both of
Speaker 1: us had twenty twenty one the way it was, which
Speaker 1: Odell he was balling, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: just didn't work anymore. Right, the Super Bowl happened, and he.
Speaker 2: Just remember that the turf field. Yes, what are your
Speaker 2: thoughts on playing on turfields?
Speaker 8: Man? The same sentiment as like you got heard on turfield,
Speaker 8: So you know how I feel about it. There's been
Speaker 8: so many injuries that's happened on turtfields. I mean, it's
Speaker 8: just proven it. I mean it's not really good for
Speaker 8: the league. And you know for our bodies. You asked
Speaker 8: any player in the league about turf, they're just like
Speaker 8: it's not gonna be automatic answer. They're gonna think about
Speaker 8: it like like like nah. And there's so many people
Speaker 8: that's been like get rid of the turf fields that
Speaker 8: you know, I think it's a time where it's all
Speaker 8: play on grass. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 8: it's the NFL, So it's all about business, So you're
Speaker 8: telling me, you know how owners probably think you're telling me,
Speaker 8: I got to pay.
Speaker 1: You and then pay to keep the field going.
Speaker 8: Whether I can just put turf out have a football game,
Speaker 8: but I got a maintenance a field, which I know
Speaker 8: is probably a headache at the end of the day.
Speaker 6: Players are the ones that you know, your.
Speaker 1: Best players hurt.
Speaker 2: Gonna push the we're all about players safety, and that's
Speaker 2: something and then that's like the narrative. If they're following
Speaker 2: that narrative, then that's something where they should listen to.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: Really, really, I think for players and I think we're
Speaker 8: just trying to seeing people get hurt on turf, and
Speaker 8: it's just been proven people getting hurt over and over again.
Speaker 8: And I think when players play on turf, they probably
Speaker 8: they thinking about like, man, I hope you know, I
Speaker 8: come out the game healthy. It's just you're just tired
Speaker 8: of seeing people get hurt, especially people you see work
Speaker 8: so hard get where they're at and then get you know,
Speaker 8: get hurt, especially like he said, we're talking about Odell
Speaker 8: coming off of a cl and then work all his
Speaker 8: way back and got the Super Bowl and got hurt
Speaker 8: again on turf. You know, you don't want to see that.
Speaker 8: So you know what's.
Speaker 1: Crazy too, is the players are even talking about before
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: We had on CJ cj Uzama from the Bengals and
Speaker 2: he was like, even before the game, they're talking about
Speaker 2: that middle of the field area where on the Jets. Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's on the Jets now. He was on the Bengals
Speaker 2: when they were Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That was nice heads up played though for Will that
Speaker 1: could have been real bad. It could have been bad.
Speaker 2: But he was saying before the game, they were all
Speaker 2: out there walking talking about like, hey, make sure you
Speaker 2: know you be careful around this area because it felt
Speaker 2: a little loose, like with the turf.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but but but hold on now, Taylor, Yeah, Seattle
Speaker 9: last year warming up before the game.
Speaker 1: Yes, turf we did.
Speaker 2: And there is video footage you're hitting that little hyper
Speaker 2: extension looking deal.
Speaker 1: On tur then yeah, like the turf deal is in
Speaker 1: Buffalo this year. Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What was that second play, first play, first play of
Speaker 2: the game, that's the action passed?
Speaker 1: But did I read that from the ut there crying?
Speaker 8: Did I read Met Life Stadium is going to turf?
Speaker 8: I mean going to grass right, moving from turf to grass?
Speaker 8: Met Life Stadium, the Giants and the Jets. That's a
Speaker 8: big win.
Speaker 1: People gold to do what the Cardinals are doing. They
Speaker 1: got the roof that's retractable and on it and they have
Speaker 1: like on a grid. The Raiders do that too. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not but they have adorned with grass. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I think the Texans had at one point where they
Speaker 8: went to turf. I think I think it's just a
Speaker 8: maintenance thing about it. I had to pay and keep
Speaker 8: the turf up.
Speaker 1: Grass, yeah, fertilizer, yeah, all the time.
Speaker 6: It's just about keeping the grass up.
Speaker 1: Because there's the level of like when when you play
Speaker 1: a Nissan stadium, like the grass is fine in the
Speaker 1: middle of the season, but then the end of the
Speaker 1: season there's the Music City Bowl, there's a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of concerts and all this stuff is, yeah, plays on
Speaker 1: it until by the end of the year you're playing
Speaker 1: on like the Oakland Radio Stadium like all on that.
Speaker 8: I remember one point I forgot what what which year
Speaker 8: it was, but they had spray painting the field and
Speaker 8: it's like we're playing on ice the ground.
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, whoa last Yes, I'm like whoa.
Speaker 2: I know it would be one thing if the owners
Speaker 2: were just like, hey, the maintenance, the cost YadA YadA,
Speaker 2: and just play that. But if they the way they
Speaker 2: talk about players safety, it's like, okay, well then listen
Speaker 2: to your players.
Speaker 1: Even even as simple simply practice. We enjoy going inside,
Speaker 1: like when.
Speaker 2: It's cold as fuck, but we're like, fuck, we gotta
Speaker 2: play on the turf.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on turf, ploays feel worse after playing on t
Speaker 1: but okay to play. Devil's advocated. I remember like going
Speaker 1: on the turf when you're young, you don't even realize,
Speaker 1: like older dude to be talking about the turf and like,
Speaker 1: my shit feels fine, what are you talking about?
Speaker 6: Exactly?
Speaker 1: Yea, even like this past year when we go on
Speaker 1: the turf, I like, I really want to go on
Speaker 1: the turf because I know I'm gonna feel the next
Speaker 1: two days low key. In practice, I would be like, man,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel really good out here. Springy, springy, Yeah.
Speaker 8: You definitely. You definitely look fast on turf for sure,
Speaker 8: way fast. You'd be like you flying on turf, Yes,
Speaker 8: that's that's that's sure to.
Speaker 2: Like when you're in like high school and stuff, you
Speaker 2: play on the turf field, You're like, oh, man, we're playing.
Speaker 1: Did you play turf field? Yeah exactly in high school?
Speaker 8: Yeah no, no, no, not high said when you go to
Speaker 8: play on one, you like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so legit for sure.
Speaker 8: Crazy light the level of thinking as you get older
Speaker 8: and like you your body and the game. It's like
Speaker 8: in high school injury like it was nothing and all
Speaker 8: that type of stuff, and then playing on turf. It's
Speaker 8: just crazy, how like your logical, logical thinking changes as you.
Speaker 1: Get older through the game. Grass, give us some grass.
Speaker 1: But in high school, like, man, these guys we had
Speaker 1: grass with our field. We suck, Like that's not cool.
Speaker 1: Even in college, were you tripping o turf? Really? No, No,
Speaker 1: Michigan is the fields on turf all time, every game,
Speaker 1: every single game.
Speaker 8: But but but that goes to just show you the
Speaker 8: level and the physicality of the NFL to college, and
Speaker 8: you know, leaning up, it's way different.
Speaker 6: You gotta yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It is way different, and that everyone's just faster and stronger.
Speaker 8: People always like, people always ask me about college to
Speaker 8: the NFL, just like, well, the NFL is not in day,
Speaker 8: different from the same game, not the same, it's not
Speaker 8: the same.
Speaker 2: College was a feel from a running back perspective, how
Speaker 2: different it is.
Speaker 1: What did you see.
Speaker 8: Confege is it's not the same, not the same. I
Speaker 8: mean the SEC was, I mean it was the closest
Speaker 8: thing to it. But it's just not the same, bro,
Speaker 8: it's not the same.
Speaker 1: Speaking like like, uh, Derek, you said some fighting words there.
Speaker 1: You're playing to it. We play a little differently up North. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's why.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's the teams I played mainly was in
Speaker 8: the SEC. I can't speak on the big team. And
Speaker 8: you know the conference I didn't play.
Speaker 1: Them, Team Wisconsin, Michigan State.
Speaker 6: Thirty eight zero.
Speaker 1: Wisconsin was like thirty five thirteen.
Speaker 8: Okay, if I played Higher State Ohio State, we played
Speaker 8: Hio State and the college playoffs they beat us. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you guys again, play Hio State in the playoffs and
Speaker 8: they beat us. They wanted that's championship.
Speaker 1: Too High State. He goes, we need this. How the
Speaker 1: fuck do these other Power five conferences compete with the SEC?
Speaker 1: Like you are? You're the reason why like players like
Speaker 1: you are the reason why we can't catch a fucking break.
Speaker 1: Poor TCUs looking their wounds right now. That game was disgusting.
Speaker 1: It was and the only good thing I can take
Speaker 1: from it is they beat them worse than Michigan last year,
Speaker 1: so I feel a whole lot better about it, you know.
Speaker 1: But it was just crazy to watch that game.
Speaker 8: I'm just like, when I watched the CU against Michigan,
Speaker 8: I'm like, Okay, they have some physical physicality to him.
Speaker 8: They played hard, Like on defense, I'm like, okay they
Speaker 8: And then the quarterback.
Speaker 2: He's tough thirteen on defense or yeah that lineback, yeah,
Speaker 2: running around up to you know, running back.
Speaker 8: I heard thirty three, which he's nice, but number three
Speaker 8: for them. He played well too when he went down.
Speaker 8: But I just thought TCU, I mean they're physical, they
Speaker 8: wouldn't I didn't think they're gonna lay the egg go
Speaker 8: or lay down and don't watch the game.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh man, man again.
Speaker 1: The closest it go? Oh man, Yeah, who are seem competitive?
Speaker 1: Ill Les? You had that game on for a I
Speaker 1: think Michigan would have done better.
Speaker 8: No, No, what are your thoughts on the arguments and
Speaker 8: conversations that we've had about SEC and all that type?
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts? And now I'm coming to
Speaker 1: you next. You've been in there. We understand the question, Derek.
Speaker 1: We know what you're at what you're asking that we
Speaker 1: slow down ask us the question you want to ask. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we are a pro Bay ten podcast, and we look
Speaker 1: at the SEC as the enemy. You guys won. You
Speaker 1: guys won this year, and you've won frequently over the
Speaker 1: last fifteen years. But that's the SEC is the best
Speaker 1: conference in college football, no question right now, no question.
Speaker 1: My worry is how the hell do we get these
Speaker 1: studs out of the Southeast and bring them up north.
Speaker 1: We have to throw some money at them boys and
Speaker 1: il deals. Now. It is also not fair that the
Speaker 1: SEC was doing nil deals before they were legal, like
Speaker 1: that is Yeah, that's something I don't know. Rings remember
Speaker 1: the last you know it?
Speaker 8: That's a historic quote pay me in rings, so real
Speaker 8: lives on to this day, live on to this day.
Speaker 8: Did you were like look at that because that ship
Speaker 8: was blowing up. Everybody's like his teammates pressing him like this. Yes,
Speaker 8: the locker room conversation like I bema uh pay page
Speaker 8: or something like post something like man put it in
Speaker 8: the coliseum and pay me a rings.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. That's that's that's you could Yeah, Logan,
Speaker 6: you can use.
Speaker 1: Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what was they lost?
Speaker 1: He was real and that Bree was saying, Kentucky's real
Speaker 1: this year outside of Georgia. And I don't really say
Speaker 1: Alabama anymore? Why this year? But bro, I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: it real.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna keep it real though, And I'm just gonna
Speaker 8: say this. Last year Georgia played Michigan. Yes, is it close?
Speaker 1: No? Not close? That it was twenty twenty one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: year before that, they'm wouna play.
Speaker 6: At higher state and national championship. Wasn't close. It's fifty two,
Speaker 6: twenty four.
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like. He didn't really give us time
Speaker 1: to answer that question either, and trying to thank the
Speaker 1: year before that.
Speaker 8: Clemson did Clemson. Oh, Clemson played l s U. That
Speaker 8: turned out those I mean, but I'm just saying I'm
Speaker 8: in the SEC or A C C. Now, what's it?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 8: One year when Clempton played Ohio State in the playoffs.
Speaker 8: I think it was like in the bowl, Oh LSU
Speaker 8: won because that was Joey b that's that's that's on us.
Speaker 8: That that's not on you. I knew that l you
Speaker 8: won that Football Teams of All Time, that's on us.
Speaker 8: That's all he said.
Speaker 1: The best colased football football team of all time. One
Speaker 1: of them. I think Nebraska in the nineties Nebras.
Speaker 8: But I will say, look up the stats. I will
Speaker 8: say Ohio State held it down against Georgia this year.
Speaker 6: That was a good game. That was a good game.
Speaker 6: They played well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what made it seem like Georgia was
Speaker 1: human that we were so close to seeing a house
Speaker 1: state versus Michigan in the National Championship.
Speaker 8: You were, Yes, I will say, I will say this
Speaker 8: for Michigan, that was a touchdown. I don't understand how
Speaker 8: they didn't know what that was. That was a touchdown me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've said on this podcast already you can't spot
Speaker 1: them two pick sixes and a quarterback running back exchange
Speaker 1: for a turnover. You can't do that, right, It's still
Speaker 1: almost They still almost came back.
Speaker 6: That was tough. That was tough.
Speaker 2: That fair to say that Georgia's Alabama's daddy. Now in
Speaker 2: the SEC, Bro, you take it easy.
Speaker 8: You gonna look at me in my face, smile. Let
Speaker 8: me asked me that question. You got that much confidence
Speaker 8: ask me that? Yeah, Bro, to say Georgia, you got to.
Speaker 1: Show your teeth to talk, all right? Hang on, let
Speaker 1: me let me change it out.
Speaker 6: No no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 8: The question, the questions already out there, the questions already
Speaker 8: out there.
Speaker 1: We just played Georgia.
Speaker 8: No no, no, you are asking the question. No no, no, no,
Speaker 8: We're good, We're good. You asked You asked that a confidence,
Speaker 8: So I'm going to kill like confidence.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 8: We just played Georgia last year in the National Championship.
Speaker 8: They won right, They won right, and we beat them
Speaker 8: previous that.
Speaker 1: Same year in the STC Championship.
Speaker 8: We had both both of our receivers, John Meshi and
Speaker 8: Jameson Williams.
Speaker 6: John Mishie goes down with a cl.
Speaker 8: And then Williams goes down with a cl In that game, Bro,
Speaker 8: who I mean, who is who is Rightce gonna gonna
Speaker 8: throw to in that game?
Speaker 1: Natty's in a row. Now set again's in a row.
Speaker 8: I'm not taking anything away from Georgia, but I'm saying
Speaker 8: we had went previous that year. We just won it
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty and we went back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 8: Georgia won it last year and they won it this year.
Speaker 8: We've won it two thousand and nine, twenty twelve, twenty
Speaker 8: and fifteen. Oh yeah, twenty eleven, I'm sorry, twenty eleven,
Speaker 8: nine eleven even no No nine eleven, twelve, fifteen, hold on,
Speaker 8: hold on hold.
Speaker 1: On fifteen seventeen.
Speaker 8: I don't want to look its seventeen Crimson twenty.
Speaker 1: And you guys, you guys have to begainst the twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: We're just I'm just looking at the stats. We just
Speaker 1: want to SEC is king ship in the SEC. Right now, okay,
Speaker 1: let me rephrase it. Would it be fair to say
Speaker 1: that Georgia is the king of the SEC?
Speaker 8: No bro, right, no bro? They are playing great football.
Speaker 8: They are the two time defending chance is over.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying for last two years, they've been outstanding.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
Speaker 8: We have sustained that standard for ten years, for ten years.
Speaker 8: I just think when somebody's on top and been on
Speaker 8: top for so long, they can't wait for somebody to
Speaker 8: just come in and just take over. But but but
Speaker 8: well that's not going to I'm sorry to say.
Speaker 1: But the recruit this year, how about this? With this?
Speaker 1: There you go, is Kirby Smart the best head coach
Speaker 1: in the SEC? Bro?
Speaker 8: Stop stop, bro, no, no, who who is Kirby smart
Speaker 8: Under before he went to Georgia.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming nixt name. You were assuming Nick Saban, know,
Speaker 1: I assume many Just because Nick Saban's lived longer doesn't
Speaker 1: mean any Yeah, nick name is really just old. That's
Speaker 1: why he successful, I think so. I mean it seems like,
Speaker 1: I mean that's falling off last year's the guys last
Speaker 1: twenty because the start of the state.
Speaker 2: Need to be fair to say that in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: two Georgia was the king of the SEC.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I can't live with that.
Speaker 1: No, okay, how about this? So you're dying with You're
Speaker 1: you're dying with the ride, which we can we can respect. Well,
Speaker 1: you do one more question, though, Is it fair to
Speaker 1: say since twenty twenty Georgia has owned the SEC?
Speaker 6: No? Bro, oh, bro, that's twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: People, I'm scared to play Alabama that year.
Speaker 8: It's twenty and and killed them at your point, you did, Bro, you're.
Speaker 1: Gonna say that. Bro, you said, you said twenty twenty.
Speaker 10: Let's hear the dog, Yeah, the dog dogs. Nobody say
Speaker 10: anything else anymore. You said the king of the SECS
Speaker 10: is twenty twenty. We beat them twice in twenty twenty,
Speaker 10: right in twenty twenty, Right, we're doing twice in twenty twenty,
Speaker 10: right because because BRO played resident season SEC, we beat
Speaker 10: them twice then.
Speaker 1: Right, I know that.
Speaker 8: Yes, No, no, no, no, no, we did because of
Speaker 8: the SEC schedule in twenty twenty because because of COVID
Speaker 8: and they came to them and we beat them. So
Speaker 8: we beat them twice in twenty twenty. Right, we beat
Speaker 8: them in twenty twenty one SEC championship. They beat us
Speaker 8: the National championship. We didn't play. We didn't play. We
Speaker 8: didn't play this year.

Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 8: We came up a little bit short when we finished
Speaker 8: the season strong. One thing about us, We're just gonna
Speaker 8: go back to work, let everybody talk and come out
Speaker 8: and do what we do. I think I mean that
Speaker 8: because when I was there my freshman. My freshman year
Speaker 8: we lost to.
Speaker 2: Your freshman years that when you were getting paid, No,
Speaker 2: never got paid.
Speaker 1: That was to go to the school. I was earning

Speaker 8: lost to Auburn to kick sixty.
Speaker 6: We end up losing to Oklahoma and the Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 8: In my second year, we lost the Old Miss and
Speaker 8: they end up losing the Hohio State in the playoffs.
Speaker 8: In my third year, we lost the Old Miss again.
Speaker 8: We went in our championship and SEC championship. So it's like,
Speaker 8: you know, you can have times.
Speaker 2: Where who was your first year twenty twelfth, twenty thirteen
Speaker 2: successful in a straight line?
Speaker 8: Not always, man, not always, It's not always. You know,
Speaker 8: Georgia had to work their way you get there, you
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Way to get you ain't gonna work their way to

Speaker 1: But yeah, and you see Nick Savean look down on this.
Speaker 1: You can see him taking that mental note, all right, bet,
Speaker 1: this is the rat poison we needed. This is the
Speaker 1: rat poison we needed. Do you guys think you're gonna
Speaker 1: be good next year? Which who's gonna be your quarterback? Question?
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be your quarterback? Probably would be an open competition.
Speaker 6: I think it would be open competition, but I think.
Speaker 8: That's how it always is unless you just come in
Speaker 8: and just establish yourself right away, and it's just there's
Speaker 8: no question. I think it'd be an open competition until
Speaker 8: somebody just takes it over, which I think it will
Speaker 8: go until campus over.
Speaker 6: Yeah, go through. They'll go through, uh spring and do
Speaker 6: all that and go through a day.
Speaker 1: How's it feel? They have to Bama guys on top
Speaker 1: of the league and rushing.

Speaker 1: been around him a couple of times. I enjoyed him.
Speaker 1: I think he's a great guy for whatever happened, just

Speaker 8: He was killing him and he didn't have a lot
Speaker 8: of yards, but he was going crazy. Very proud of
Speaker 8: Josh Man. And you know, I think he earned everything

Speaker 8: was at Tennessee, we played them in fifteen. They almost
Speaker 8: beat us. It was a close game. He came down
Speaker 8: to the wire they were good. Now he was balling.
Speaker 1: Really, if it wasn't for the game Cocks, they'd be

Speaker 1: out better. Hopefully whoever does take This's a Nast Championship
Speaker 1: and wins it against Georgia next year, you hope comes
Speaker 1: out on top of that quarterback battle. Oh, I think
Speaker 1: I would hope the better player came out on top.
Speaker 2: You're just you're just wanting to get on your hands
Speaker 2: and knees for fucking Joe Milton and go to Michigan.
Speaker 2: But then it's like, oh, getting the quarterback battle?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, unless Joe's afraid of competition, Why I
Speaker 1: go to Michigan and compete when you can just start
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. I mean, unless offer why not trying to
Speaker 1: be great? Hey, guys, all give them empty promises.
Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode to shout out the boys at
Speaker 2: Sport Cliffs. No free shoutouts, consider this. Not every hair
Speaker 2: stylist is created equal. Mini stylists don't have much experience
Speaker 2: cutting men's hair, but you don't know it until it's
Speaker 2: too late. At sport Cliffs, all stylists undergo specialized training
Speaker 2: specifically in how to cut install men's hair, making them
Speaker 2: not just stylists but scissor cutting scholars and fade fanatics.
Speaker 2: After all, it's not just any average haircut This is
Speaker 2: the big league's boys we're talking about. These are hair
Speaker 2: cutting professionals. So don't hand your bushy old knogging over
Speaker 2: to anyone over with a pair of clippers. Hand them
Speaker 2: to them hair cutting professionals over at sport Clips. That
Speaker 2: takes men's cutting hair to another level, which is why
Speaker 2: they truly are the pros in men's hair. Before we
Speaker 2: get back to this stuff, so we do got a shot.
Speaker 2: We do got to say that our buswiser merch that

Speaker 8: I take it down. Get their hair bag. It's your
Speaker 8: super power. I'm like, bro, shut up, be quiet.
Speaker 1: Now we'll say this. Shut up. Hits. Hits look harder
Speaker 1: on you with your hair down because your hair because
Speaker 1: it flies everywhere looking around. Yeah, sure, because I think
Speaker 1: somebody I'm not going to say who was like, I
Speaker 1: think Derek taking harder hits this year, And I was like, bro,
Speaker 1: I think it's his hair just flying around more. It's
Speaker 1: definitely my hair, I feel because my head is the
Speaker 1: Giants game this first time. That was I want, I
Speaker 1: want who was blocking on that? You made me look
Speaker 1: really bad? Well, who was blocking on it really bad?
Speaker 7: That?
Speaker 1: I think? It was.
Speaker 2: Definitely why bars are kind of you know, Maynebacker slipped
Speaker 2: in and then yeah, yeah that was tough for the individual.
Speaker 1: But I was looking this way.
Speaker 8: I seen the same thing I was. I was jumping
Speaker 8: over somebody on the ground. I looking straight up rest
Speaker 8: his history. But I ain't gonna complain. We got back
Speaker 8: up and continued to play.
Speaker 1: When you saw one of your teammates with the dark visor,
Speaker 1: and did you think, wow, it looks really cool. I
Speaker 1: want to do that too.
Speaker 6: I always saw a dark bozone.
Speaker 8: Was was cool when I seen Danien Thomas, and we
Speaker 8: always wanted to wear one, because that's all him.
Speaker 1: Had nothing to do with an office lineman on your team.
Speaker 1: That worked, not at all.
Speaker 6: That's sorry to say.
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying he wanted to get the dark visor.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Will bro he is really like that.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't Derek got that yahn like that. Yeah,

Speaker 1: had a question. Okay, go ahead, this is exactly said.
Speaker 1: What were't gonna do? But go ahead? Yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 2: What were the best like jokes you got with what
Speaker 2: your hair looked like, because I know you're thinking of them,
Speaker 2: and you said, you know, like this like that, like
Speaker 2: the other day somebody's like, you know, Derek doesn't have the.
Speaker 1: Third hanging out of the helmet anymore.
Speaker 8: I think I think you. I think you know that.
Speaker 8: That's why you asked that question. And you just said
Speaker 8: one of them. That's why you That's why you said that.
Speaker 1: You hear like from your boys or anybody personally. You know,
Speaker 1: I heard.

Speaker 8: wait by moment. He's not so big. He waited by
Speaker 8: moment alive.
Speaker 1: It was all.
Speaker 8: It was all the jokes. But you know, I welcome,
Speaker 8: I welcome, and all I was. I was balling, doing
Speaker 8: my things. Yeah, I didn't really care.
Speaker 1: You were doing your thing. That was my question, that
Speaker 1: was you were doing that thing? All right? So the season,
Speaker 1: obviously it's hard to be a running back in this league.
Speaker 1: You just said how hard it is, like from college
Speaker 1: to the NFL. It's got to be equally as hard.
Speaker 1: When injuries happened in front of you, like Ben Jones
Speaker 1: went down this year. Ben Jones never goes down. You
Speaker 1: went He's always there, and yeah, I went down. Nate
Speaker 1: went down. Uh we had Dylan for ten seconds in
Speaker 1: the Chargers game. He went down. Who else Brewer, our
Speaker 1: smallest guy, made it through the whole entire season unscathed.
Speaker 1: It seems like, ye, how is that? Like was there
Speaker 1: a time obviously not coming at the players at all,
Speaker 1: but for you being like frustrated, like damn, because how
Speaker 1: we do has a lot to do with your success.
Speaker 1: Obviously you're still bald. Yeah, but what I'm saying does
Speaker 1: that like effect. There's got to be a level of
Speaker 1: frustration for you during the season when you see guys
Speaker 1: going down over and over again.
Speaker 8: Not really a frustration for me, but I just feel
Speaker 8: frustrated for my teammates everybody that went down, because I
Speaker 8: see y'all and as far as you working your way
Speaker 8: back and excited for the season. You know, we have
Speaker 8: our talks and we do all that, and just to
Speaker 8: see it and how quickly it did frustrated for you
Speaker 8: because I know how much you love this game, and
Speaker 8: you know how much you love playing ball, and you
Speaker 8: know all the success that you had and then we've
Speaker 8: been the same thing. You know, we all like brothers,
Speaker 8: you know, we family have been together for so long.
Speaker 8: And to see all y'all just go down and not
Speaker 8: be able to finish the season and do the things
Speaker 8: that we've always done throughout the season.
Speaker 6: It was just that was probably the tough part.
Speaker 8: But to me, I just try to focus on, you know,
Speaker 8: what what I need to do to help us win
Speaker 8: and and do all that, which it was different because
Speaker 8: different bodies, you know, new guys. Yeah, everybody, everybody's different.
Speaker 8: So but it was definitely tough this year just because
Speaker 8: it was so many different guys just coming in and
Speaker 8: you know, trying to pick up our scheme and you know.
Speaker 6: Style we play and the day.
Speaker 8: I feel like those guys try to do the best
Speaker 8: job they can to fill in for y'all. But I
Speaker 8: mean it was still tough because we you know, we chemistry,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how does it change the way you run the rock?
Speaker 1: Like has it changed? Like?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all that stuff? Also you're one of you're like
Speaker 2: the best to do it. It's like, how does it?
Speaker 2: How does that change the way you go out there
Speaker 2: and play? Like, if you're trying to get to know Lineman,
Speaker 2: you're talking about chemistry and everything else. Is it is
Speaker 2: it things that you got to more so look at
Speaker 2: on film or talk on linement or is it just
Speaker 2: always like a feel thing for you?
Speaker 8: No, I'm always gonna play the same, I think, you know,
Speaker 8: I think from watching y'all and be in the room
Speaker 8: with y'all and knowing that's all we want to play,
Speaker 8: and you know, how we are with the ring game.
Speaker 8: I feel like they you know, gotta you know of
Speaker 8: it from y'all being around y'all. So I played the same.
Speaker 8: I don't try to worry about who's blocking this and
Speaker 8: that you have. You got your job and I'm gonna
Speaker 8: do mine.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it doesn't take your eyes anywhere differently. No,
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to put myself in your shoes. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: if there could be you know now, because I'm I'm
Speaker 2: I'm maybe I'm gonna take my eyes here on this.
Speaker 8: I'm basically looking at it because I'm too busy looking
Speaker 8: at the look the deep pens of given. So I
Speaker 8: don't really you know, everybody gotta got their job. But yeah,
Speaker 8: I mean it was. It was definitely tough.
Speaker 1: Well, it definitely plays because it's a difficult offense to
Speaker 1: run for an offensive lineman. It's a unique offense that
Speaker 1: like four or five offenses in the league do. But
Speaker 1: like it all depends on stretch, Like if one guy
Speaker 1: gets more stretch than another, you have to cut back
Speaker 1: plays faster. Now that's a reaction thing for you, but
Speaker 1: that does, like I could see myself in your shoes
Speaker 1: getting frustrated because it's like damn, I want to do
Speaker 1: so well. Like I see you and how you work
Speaker 1: and how you handle yourself on a day to day
Speaker 1: basis inside the building, it's like Derek wants to be
Speaker 1: great every like he wants to be great, and he
Speaker 1: wants like them to be like, Hey, we're running the ball,
Speaker 1: and Derek's running the ball, and this is why we're
Speaker 1: gonna win. Like you appreciate and you accept that responsibility.
Speaker 1: And then if I'm like, you're used to stretching a
Speaker 1: ball a certain certain time or a certain amount of steps,
Speaker 1: and now like you, someone's out, so you can't or
Speaker 1: you can't make that cutback because Ben's not there and
Speaker 1: the other person in there doesn't have the skill set
Speaker 1: that Ben does. I can see it being difficult.
Speaker 8: Yeah, especially because you know Ben, you y'all seen a
Speaker 8: lot of balls. So guys who who come in there,
Speaker 8: you know, haven't you know, you know, seeing different looks
Speaker 8: and things like that and got in that fire like that.
Speaker 8: So then if it's gonna be some it's gonna be
Speaker 8: some adjustments, it's gonna be different. Guys can't do what
Speaker 8: other guys do just because they'ven been in the system
Speaker 8: for a long time, and like you said, it's kind
Speaker 8: of it can be hard for some offense alignment if
Speaker 8: they haven't done it, you know, for a long time,
Speaker 8: which y'all have, and I understand that. At end of
Speaker 8: the day, I just try to get them confidence to
Speaker 8: be like, bro, it is what it is. This is
Speaker 8: what it is, is what we're gonna go out with.
Speaker 8: Let's let's go ball. But at the same time, you know,
Speaker 8: you know, everybody's skill set is different. But at the
Speaker 8: end of the day, we all got a job to
Speaker 8: do it, and I had the job to do, so
Speaker 8: I'm gonna try to go out there and ball regardless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it like your first time getting getting injured? Actually,
Speaker 2: I don't even know if it was your first actual
Speaker 2: time getting in It.
Speaker 1: Is the first time I ever got surgery, really, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: I had surgery in college.
Speaker 1: I thought you said, the first time getting surgery and
Speaker 1: in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was tough, you know, I was, I was hurt.
Speaker 8: You know, it was definitely different from me because it
Speaker 8: was my first time actually getting surgery during the season
Speaker 8: and missing the whole season. That's never happened before, so
Speaker 8: that was so that was different, and I was just
Speaker 8: like I had to take a grasp of that and
Speaker 8: the kind of realization of what happened, and you know
Speaker 8: that it was tough because watching games and you know,
Speaker 8: just being at the house and watching y'all play.
Speaker 6: Then that was the other toughest.
Speaker 8: Part because I want to be a part of that
Speaker 8: and nothing like that never happened before. Like I said,
Speaker 8: with me being out for the whole season and trying
Speaker 8: to work my way back and doing everything I can
Speaker 8: to get back kind of kind of made me sit
Speaker 8: back and you know, look at things different and like see,
Speaker 8: you know, thinging a different, everything in a different light
Speaker 8: as far as what's going on and everything around me
Speaker 8: and people change too, so yeah, different.
Speaker 1: You feel like.
Speaker 2: You feel like it was more mentally trying than you
Speaker 2: thought it would be. That then maybe you anticipate, I
Speaker 2: want to say thought like anticipated because I guess I'm
Speaker 2: trying to like being in your shoes, Like you're part
Speaker 2: of this team. You got all the boys, you got
Speaker 2: aj Brown, you just got you get Julio.
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, this is gonna be the team where
Speaker 1: we do it. You ran years before for two thousand
Speaker 1: year before.
Speaker 2: Now we get an extra game I'm about to break
Speaker 2: all I'm about to break all this stuff. Like obviously
Speaker 2: you have personal ambitions and then obviously team ambitions as well,
Speaker 2: and then again it comes to a stop and then
Speaker 2: you're going through all that, You're typ You're sitting there saying,
Speaker 2: I sat back and kind of re evaluate and assess
Speaker 2: things a little bit differently. Do you feel like those
Speaker 2: trying times were uh, you know, harder mentally than you
Speaker 2: anticipated them being.
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely it was. Mentally it was. It was tough
Speaker 8: mentally for real, because like you said, everything was was
Speaker 8: going then just stop, everything to stop, and all you
Speaker 8: got to sit there, especially with breaking the bone time,
Speaker 8: so you know, having surgery and then going through that part.
Speaker 8: And then I think once I got like, was able
Speaker 8: to rehab and stuff started speeding up a little bit.
Speaker 8: But mentally, yeah, it was. It was definitely tough because
Speaker 8: I'm just like, man, I mean that's all I know.
Speaker 8: You know, I put so much work and so much
Speaker 8: time into football, and you know, when it's the season time,
Speaker 8: that's all I'm so all I'm worried about.
Speaker 6: It's all I'm thinking about.
Speaker 8: I mean, all love this game, and you know, for
Speaker 8: everything to stop just like man. But at the end
Speaker 8: of the day, I just had to put faith in
Speaker 8: the man above and trust what was going on. And
Speaker 8: you know, trust is this journey for me and then
Speaker 8: work hard to get back. And I was able to
Speaker 8: get back, which wasn't good enough, but you know, I'm
Speaker 8: just happy to be able to get back and then
Speaker 8: work in the off season and then finished the season.
Speaker 8: You know, this year with the injury, because a lot
Speaker 8: of guys the injury and this stuff to come back from.
Speaker 6: But our guys have came back from it.
Speaker 8: You know, reach out to Julio, which he had two surgeries,
Speaker 8: two surgeries on it. They kind of gave me some
Speaker 8: encouragement about it. It was, yeah, it was it was tough.
Speaker 8: It was different, but everybody, Yeah, it's a different testament.
Speaker 8: That's a sad thing.
Speaker 1: I mean I remember that. I remember the Colts came
Speaker 1: and you going up to you after that series. I mean,
Speaker 1: like you like, I think I sucked my my foot up.
Speaker 1: My foot hurts. It's masically all you said.
Speaker 6: I played three quarters with the broken foot. Three was
Speaker 6: I didn't know.
Speaker 8: I kind of I figured it was broke, but I
Speaker 8: was like, you just don't want to believe it. I'm like, man,
Speaker 8: I fun, it was, but it was killing me though
Speaker 8: the whole the whole game. I'm like, man, thing hurting
Speaker 8: walking on it, till walking on it.
Speaker 6: I mean it was.
Speaker 8: It was killing me. I knew after the game. I'm like,
Speaker 8: oh man. Then when they no, we got X rays, bro,
Speaker 8: that was look at x rays. I got big.
Speaker 1: I said, going on, Bro, what was the doctor to
Speaker 1: that guy? When his eyes got.
Speaker 8: Big petty and he was like it just like yeah,
Speaker 8: you broke the fifth mint of tarsels, known as a
Speaker 8: Jones re freshure. And I was like, Okay, when can
Speaker 8: I get back? It was like, uh, I don't know
Speaker 8: about that. It might it might be a while.
Speaker 1: And I was like, whoa, yeah, because you came back
Speaker 1: in the locker room, Me and Ben waited for you.
Speaker 1: The whole locker room was cleared out and me and
Speaker 1: them were like, we're gonna wait for Derek. And he
Speaker 1: walked back in looking sad, sad as hell, and I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, what's up?
Speaker 6: You're like.
Speaker 1: He just whispered I'm done and then described his towel
Speaker 1: and went and showered. That was tough, was we? Especially
Speaker 1: Ben and I? Like, there's not a whole lot of
Speaker 1: accolades we can hang our hat on to be like
Speaker 1: this is like this is us. And when you were
Speaker 1: having the year that was like the fucking year, You're
Speaker 1: at like nine hundred and thirty seven yards and we're like, dude,
Speaker 1: we're really gonna I know, we're really later in the year,
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, he was still top
Speaker 1: five and rushing or just with six n Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: talk about Jonathan Taylor ninety and m v P. I
Speaker 1: knowuse everyone was like everyone's counting Derek out and we're like, yo,
Speaker 1: this guy's balling right now, I know, going crazy, and
Speaker 1: we're all like this is going to be like it's
Speaker 1: your success. But we were looking at us like damn,
Speaker 1: this is our year. Is the year that we're going
Speaker 1: to get Derek the record?
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, bro, I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure that that was.
Speaker 2: And two with the bone, Uh, you can't. It can't.
Speaker 2: It's like it goes at its own pace. You can't
Speaker 2: sit there and rehabit. You can do a little bost
Speaker 2: machine like I'm gonna do everything I can.
Speaker 8: To get back and I'm not knowing to have patience,
Speaker 8: but I had had to have patience with that.
Speaker 1: You have a choice with the patient. Did you think
Speaker 1: was there a possibility heard it more or was it
Speaker 1: just like, hey, that's as a clear fracture. It as
Speaker 1: what it is. Like I heard it, I would yes
Speaker 1: about playing, which is crazy because if you look back,
Speaker 1: you go, I got to get out of the game
Speaker 1: right away. Like if that happens, like if you have
Speaker 1: the knowledge you do now you're like, oh, I got
Speaker 1: to get out right now, and you just let it ride.
Speaker 8: Because we won. I don't know, like sixty eight yards rushing,
Speaker 8: but it was a tough sled, But I don't know
Speaker 8: I would have played.
Speaker 1: Did you break one in that game? No, thank god,
Speaker 1: that would have been a tough.
Speaker 8: Look you've been hopping on one leg trying to get
Speaker 8: some in zone. I wouldn't have made it at all.
Speaker 8: It was hurting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can tell too. Then this last game this
Speaker 1: year when you played at the Colts and you were
Speaker 1: you were balling again. You were going off like I've
Speaker 1: never seen usually when you score, Like we joke all
Speaker 1: the time, like it's just big eyes and kind of
Speaker 1: all right back to the sideline, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But like when you were watching the game. I think
Speaker 1: we were texting in the group and like, Derek is legit.
Speaker 1: I've never seen passion like that from you getting in
Speaker 1: the in zone. Everybody, it really was.
Speaker 8: Everyone was asking what it was, like, what gotten in
Speaker 8: the you you do your helmet off and doing all
Speaker 8: this episode.
Speaker 6: I was like, man, I was just in a moment.
Speaker 6: I don't know, just in a moment.
Speaker 1: It's got it. There's got to be some sort of
Speaker 1: like emotional when you get hurt somewhere. Because the Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Stadium is so unique because that's where everyone, every single
Speaker 1: person's NFL journey starts, that is invited to be combined.
Speaker 1: You get to go, you get to go to the combine,
Speaker 1: you run there, you look around, You're like, this is
Speaker 1: a legit NFL stadium. I had to rephrase the question
Speaker 1: halfway through. But like everyone starts to Comba. So for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, like everyone has in their head when they
Speaker 1: walk out there, like this is where it all starts,
Speaker 1: all started for me, and that's where you one of
Speaker 1: your seasons was ended. So there's got to be a
Speaker 1: place you you went to before that game. Because we
Speaker 1: know how you keep receipts. We are very aware of
Speaker 1: how you said in the past, like I don't keep receipts,
Speaker 1: but I remember that's how you phrased the last podcast.
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, I definitely wanted to be a different ending
Speaker 8: other than when I got hurt, which I will hurt it.
Speaker 6: I didn't have a great game, so I'm just like, man.
Speaker 8: I gotta go out there and put out a different
Speaker 8: result this game, and that's just my main focus. And
Speaker 8: we ended up winning, and I gotta played, all right.
Speaker 8: I wanted to play, but play all right.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you talking about the injury stuff because I
Speaker 2: just feel like a lot of like every probably running
Speaker 2: back in the world probably looks up to you, and
Speaker 2: people people get hurt are like times where it doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense at all, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: you speaking on it, it's almost like shedding, like like hey,
Speaker 2: these are these are like man, Derek, Derek went through
Speaker 2: something like this.
Speaker 1: It was real.
Speaker 2: It's like maybe I'm maybe I'm impatient. He talked about,
Speaker 2: oh I had to be patient. He had to do
Speaker 2: it too, and you kind of like lean in like
Speaker 2: I want to be like Derek.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure, it was tough. I it was never easy. Sure,
Speaker 8: I appreciate the adversity, you know, versus Bill's character. It
Speaker 8: definitely made me better, made me tougher going through something
Speaker 8: like that. She wanted the middle of the season and
Speaker 8: everything was going well. I wanted to and everything to stop.
Speaker 8: But how life life is. It stops and you have
Speaker 8: bumps in the road. Get over him and try to
Speaker 8: come out on top at.
Speaker 6: The end of the day.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, do you ever think about You've had the
Speaker 2: two you have the two thousand yard seasons. You run
Speaker 2: your ass off, bro, but getting hurt the last time?
Speaker 2: Do you ever think about your mortality more now in
Speaker 2: this league as you continue to get older as far
Speaker 2: as like coming you know, when the ending could be
Speaker 2: for you, or how many more years you could possibly
Speaker 2: have in the tank. And then because usually an injury
Speaker 2: the injury season, you're like, fuck.
Speaker 1: Man, I guess it makes you reflecting, like damn I
Speaker 1: am human?
Speaker 8: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, definitely, you know, kind of brings
Speaker 8: you to to reality a little bit, especially with you know,
Speaker 8: I was having a lot of success and then everything stopped,
Speaker 8: and then it went to like always getting older, the
Speaker 8: injury might slow him down and all that type of stuff,
Speaker 8: and you know, it's a different outlook of everything, because
Speaker 8: before it was like he's a busy this and that,
Speaker 8: and then it's like, oh the Andre's gonna throw him down.
Speaker 8: He's not the same. But you know, you try to
Speaker 8: block out the noise and then go back to work.
Speaker 8: But I don't try to put like a limit on
Speaker 8: how long I want to play or how I'm feeling.
Speaker 6: I just go play.
Speaker 8: You know, I love this game, and I'm continue to
Speaker 8: work as hard as I can to play as long
Speaker 8: as I can, and when I feel like I'm ready
Speaker 8: to hang it up and not hang it up. But
Speaker 8: you know, every player probably wants to end it on
Speaker 8: their on their terms, and sometimes it don't go that way.
Speaker 8: But like I said, I just put my faith in
Speaker 8: the man above and then whenever it's supposed to end this,
Speaker 8: it's going in. But until then, I'm gonna focus on
Speaker 8: getting better and keep balling and doing eybody can and
Speaker 8: be on the best in the league and one of
Speaker 8: the best players on my team to us win.
Speaker 6: So that's always a goal, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's just a scary it's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: a scary thought, like because you don't want the times.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do a rebuild rebuild year with you with
Speaker 1: a lot of good ball left. And I just want
Speaker 1: till bad. You made me so hard just now, I looked,
Speaker 1: I cried a little bit. I want so badly for
Speaker 1: the I want so ballely for the Titans to do well,
Speaker 1: and I just hope that they can do whatever they
Speaker 1: need to do this year to like make sure it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, we're a playoff containing AFC souleth champion team again.
Speaker 1: And I guess a better question is, like do you
Speaker 1: think you do that through the draft or you do
Speaker 1: that through trades? Because the Rams up until this year
Speaker 1: they were they traded like we got to win now,
Speaker 1: Like you're a generational talent, Dereck Henry is a generational talent.
Speaker 1: How do we make sure Derek doesn't get wasted? Yeah?
Speaker 8: I think as far as me, I don't think I
Speaker 8: need to be the focal point. I think it's like
Speaker 8: what do we do on all three phases, especially offense,
Speaker 8: you know, to you know, help the team better and
Speaker 8: to play better as an offense as well. And I
Speaker 8: think you just see what's out there, see what you
Speaker 8: got to do. As far as strategy wise. Again this
Speaker 8: is above my my pray, my pay grade. But you know,
Speaker 8: I just want us to get back to how we
Speaker 8: were playing and doing the things that things that we
Speaker 8: were doing. I want I want to win the championship.
Speaker 8: Championship here so bad, and we want to bring the
Speaker 8: first one to Nashville. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 8: you know, we just got to get you know, pieces
Speaker 8: in here to put it all together, all together to
Speaker 8: make it work. And you know, hopefully happened this off
Speaker 8: season and we'll be able to do that. Bring some
Speaker 8: guys in to help us, you know, spring us forward
Speaker 8: and were there to make some plays and go out,
Speaker 8: get back to balling and doing what we do.
Speaker 1: How you feel christ to be successful. For the Titans
Speaker 1: to truly be successful, we can't just be Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: gets the ball like you need to get touches and
Speaker 1: you need to get twenty twenty five touches a game
Speaker 1: to be successful. But we have to be able to
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. From an aerial standpoint,
Speaker 1: what do you think.
Speaker 2: It is built to the draft trads? What I mean,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, and it happens you're
Speaker 2: under contract. I think you're tight next year, like you
Speaker 2: guys are both next year. I can be the guy
Speaker 2: who asked the question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then then you got to you gotta fix
Speaker 1: the offens the line that's like you, that is I
Speaker 1: think the number one thing that the Tennessee Times need
Speaker 1: to do is they to fix the off It's the
Speaker 1: line they need. If Ben retires in a final center,
Speaker 1: they didn't find a left tackle, they need to find
Speaker 1: a right guard. If Nate doesn't sign back, you need
Speaker 1: to hope that Nick nick Petite develops more from a
Speaker 1: rookie and takes a step in the next year. A
Speaker 1: wide receiver. You need a wide receiver like and you
Speaker 1: got to figure out why the fuck these injuries are happening.
Speaker 1: It happens once it's understandable. Freak things happen this season.
Speaker 1: That was crazy. We sat the record, we're still the
Speaker 1: number one seeing the FFC South Now, it's like it
Speaker 1: happens two years in a row. What is happening on
Speaker 1: that football field for the Titans to be hurt. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's Mike Rabel's problem. I think Ravees takes
Speaker 1: his guys that are older and guys are her stud players,
Speaker 1: and he gives them opportunities to get healthy and stay healthy,
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, it's not happening. So why why
Speaker 1: does that happen? Well, you need to figure that out objectively.
Speaker 2: There's there's two areas. There's the strength and condition you're in.
Speaker 2: There's the training room area.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But I'm saying like, if.
Speaker 2: You're talking about if we're if we're asking questions on
Speaker 2: you know, if we want to play armchair GM, then
Speaker 2: we got to be able to we got to be
Speaker 2: able to ejectually say okay, well what's happening on the field.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, there's the two areas you look at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, Like, if you want to
Speaker 2: go down the road of you know, hey, do you
Speaker 2: do you let go.
Speaker 1: Of the strength staff or the training room. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean?
Speaker 2: And I don't think it would be fair to put
Speaker 2: either of you guys in to say yes or no.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Todd Torseli is a phenomenal trainer,
Speaker 1: head trainer in this league. I think he's got a
Speaker 1: great staff. I think Frank is a good strength coach.
Speaker 1: But maybe bring other people in like you would do
Speaker 1: in any business to help evaluate and say these are
Speaker 1: things you can do better, these are things you could
Speaker 1: improve on, and then you guys give them the reins
Speaker 1: and the tools and say, all right, now, you guys
Speaker 1: go go do these things. I'm not saying you need
Speaker 1: to replace Frank or Todd or their staff because you
Speaker 1: do not. I think those are I like them individually,
Speaker 1: and I think they're good at their jobs. But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, just going off of what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Right, What I was getting at is if we kind
Speaker 2: of stopped there and we kind of played the whole
Speaker 2: question and then we kind of just let it be
Speaker 2: in the clouds, then it leaves it up for translation
Speaker 2: for everybody else out there watching. Oh, they could be
Speaker 2: alluding to this, They could be alluding to that, right,
Speaker 2: or you know, you get into like you could bring
Speaker 2: in I'm talking about players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this whole like like there said this is
Speaker 1: above all of our pay grades to where this is like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's not even worth touching because I don't know I
Speaker 1: don't know how to keep myself healthy, let alone an
Speaker 1: entire team. So I would say, like, look at, like
Speaker 1: how do we get players in? Because if you look
Speaker 1: at our roster in camp starting day one of camp.
Speaker 1: It's a good roster. We have good players. You're missing
Speaker 1: AJ Brown Hindsight's twenty twenty. We missed on that. That sucks.
Speaker 1: I'm sure John will like take that back if you could.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's the actual truth that both sides are
Speaker 1: embellishing to help themselves a little bit better. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: obviously you wish A. J. Brown was on this team.
Speaker 1: But our roster wasn't bad looking at all. We had
Speaker 1: a solid offensive line on the roster with a good
Speaker 1: rights competition going on. Our defense, our front seven is
Speaker 1: was incredible. Our back end, you had Roger mccrury, who's
Speaker 1: a young guy, but bald this year did well for
Speaker 1: a rookie, Like I don't know if he was on
Speaker 1: any all rookie teams, but he should have been. And
Speaker 1: then you have Hooker and KB and Hooker got hurt
Speaker 1: too this year and Fulton who also got hurt. He
Speaker 1: missed how many games? Six games? Not sure, Yeah he missed.
Speaker 1: He missed a handful of games. Yeah, but I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like you look at the the week one roster, have
Speaker 1: the week one roster, the going into camp roster I
Speaker 1: think the good team, how do you keep those guys healthy?
Speaker 1: But who do you get like you got to fix
Speaker 1: the A line, that's number one thing. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean as far as like, you know, what's happening
Speaker 8: these past year, like like a few years, with these
Speaker 8: two years with injuries, I think it's just an evaluation
Speaker 8: of everybody. What can we we all do better to
Speaker 8: improve you know, the organizations, you know, through players and
Speaker 8: how we play and the injuries, and just for everybody
Speaker 8: accept evaluation. What can I to do to help you know,
Speaker 8: us be better as whole. And I think that's that's
Speaker 8: that is needed because these past few years it's been
Speaker 8: it's been rough with injuries and all those types of things,
Speaker 8: and we just never had like a a series of where,
Speaker 8: you know, we had a couple of games where we
Speaker 8: had everybody and everybody felt good and everybody was healthy.
Speaker 6: So it's just like, how can we get to that?
Speaker 8: How how are these teams sustaining you know, keeping their players,
Speaker 8: you know, throughout the whole season.
Speaker 1: How does Roger Staffold get injured a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: the Titans and goes to the Buffalo Bills and has
Speaker 1: not injured the whole season and plays well. He's in
Speaker 1: bold this year, right, and he's a year older with
Speaker 1: less tread on the tires. Again, And this is not
Speaker 1: me coming up the times because I am everybody knows
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a part of the organizations. So I'm excited
Speaker 1: and for now I am too there. Okay, like two
Speaker 1: or three more weeks less on the old belt here,
Speaker 1: But I'm saying I'm not coming out the times. I
Speaker 1: think just like if I am the owner, if I'm Amy,
Speaker 1: that's the number one thing I'm fixing or trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how to fix is why are these injuries happening?
Speaker 1: And how can we stop them from happening? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: injury rate in the NFL is one hundred percent, but
Speaker 1: you're hoping it's one hundred percent for like two three
Speaker 1: guys a year and then you have the rest of
Speaker 1: your your core foundational team. But like even Jeff said
Speaker 1: in his exit his last interview in the JAG's locker room,
Speaker 1: He's like, I've been shooting at my ankle every single
Speaker 1: week for eight weeks and just a dog. But it's
Speaker 1: it's tough.
Speaker 8: I feel like, I mean, ours training staff and strength
Speaker 8: and conditions staff do a great job, but just like,
Speaker 8: I mean, how can we all improve on helping one another?
Speaker 8: And you know everybody's staying healthy and being out there
Speaker 8: being available because your best ability is availability.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that's just about Uh.
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins tweet tweet out posted how was that was.
Speaker 3: From twenty twenty?
Speaker 1: Wow, it's a resurface.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, knowing that we that we could use
Speaker 2: a receiver you Lamar Jackson the trio the Yeah, the
Speaker 2: tweet that has resurfaced from twenty twenty. How many touchdowns
Speaker 2: between lamars? How would you feel about that trio being
Speaker 2: in Tennessee?
Speaker 8: I saw no where they were saying that the Cardinals
Speaker 8: are looking to we're looking to trade hop Who who
Speaker 8: wouldn't want to play with hop He's a Hall of
Speaker 8: Fame wide receiver, right and the same thing with Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 8: But I don't think it's going to happen, you know,
Speaker 8: I don't think there's definitely not not gonna let Lamar go.
Speaker 6: He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 8: And then DeAndre Hopkins is It depends on what makes
Speaker 8: sense for your team and what they want to as
Speaker 8: far as the cat space and if they have a
Speaker 8: cat space for him, so he's a great receiver. You know,
Speaker 8: I love to play with you know, DeAndre Hopkins. I
Speaker 8: mean i'd be it' surreal. You know he's a dog.
Speaker 8: But I mean it depends on what what makes sense, which,
Speaker 8: like I said, that's about my prayer grade.
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know, but.
Speaker 1: You gotta got like DeAndre Hopkins on the outside and
Speaker 1: you can't stack the box like that. Yeah, people help everybody,
Speaker 1: for sure, for everybody.
Speaker 2: Another question like, what was it like on game day
Speaker 2: watching a J Brown do a J Brown against Tennessee uniform?
Speaker 8: I man, I expect anything less. I know Ajn go
Speaker 8: off because I've seen it here. So Ajna gonna do
Speaker 8: what he do.
Speaker 6: He's a dog.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: When they when they had the penalty and then he
Speaker 2: did it the second time.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can't do nothing, but just be like man,
Speaker 1: you ever in the sidelines like damn, yeah he really
Speaker 1: did it him.
Speaker 8: I know the single receiving record at Philias first year,
Speaker 8: so you really yet, I.
Speaker 2: Feel like that was just I feel like that was
Speaker 2: the strong out the camel's back when maybe over fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred and we don't have to get into all the
Speaker 2: J Rob stuff, but I feel like that, like objectively
Speaker 2: me being on the outside four crazy.
Speaker 8: But I always told him, said, man, you get the opportunity,
Speaker 8: you're gonna go crazy. And you got the opportunity. You
Speaker 8: see what he did with it. I texted her, I said,
Speaker 8: I'm proud of you, bro. Just keep going faintish strong,
Speaker 8: and you're doing you.
Speaker 1: Bro. You got the times a rout of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Who do you think you're gonna see in the super Bowl?
Speaker 1: It's Philly in the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think it's the Niners. I
Speaker 2: think it's Buffalo nine stuff. But you just you never know.
Speaker 1: You're really staying away from Kansas City still, Huh, I
Speaker 1: think Buffalo.
Speaker 8: I think you can go either way. It could be
Speaker 8: Kansas City or could be Buffalo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to root for Kansas City if
Speaker 2: they play against Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Really, if they play for anybody against anybody. Why do
Speaker 1: you hate Kansas City so much? I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't hate Kansas City so much. I know I
Speaker 2: kind of reacted right there. I don't hate Kansas City
Speaker 2: so much want to get beat up again. It's just
Speaker 2: I'm not going to like root for them, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Yeah, you like being like playing for
Speaker 2: the Raiders, like that's their biggest rival.
Speaker 8: I mean, you just I don't know, you just I
Speaker 8: mean you really never know because since he's since he's
Speaker 8: good too.
Speaker 1: Now again again talking about two teams.
Speaker 2: But I would always argue against my mom to my
Speaker 2: mom love Kansas City, and I always be like I
Speaker 2: was pro Dallas, but I would just argue my mom
Speaker 2: that she was dumb rooting for Kansas City. They were
Speaker 2: always gonna let her down. They've obviously done well recently,
Speaker 2: but recently that's I feel like that's like a subconscious
Speaker 2: like something under why I always just root against Do
Speaker 2: you think do you.
Speaker 8: Think it's tough to like choose who's gonna be there
Speaker 8: at the end this year?
Speaker 1: Yes, it's gonna be a good playofficture, it's definitely. I
Speaker 1: feel like Kansas City is definitely like the Georgia Bulldogs
Speaker 1: of like the a f C. Right now, like they're
Speaker 1: on top, but I think like.
Speaker 2: Who's the Alabama of the Probably the Jags. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a good sal Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: They'd be like right, yeah, like Bailey got in, Yeah.
Speaker 2: They were outside looking in, they were outside the conversation
Speaker 2: looking in trying to get in.
Speaker 8: Yeah, last week it came down a lot and then
Speaker 8: came a lot of Jackson playing really good ball, dangerous
Speaker 8: for the B three and seven, and then come back
Speaker 8: and play the way they have.
Speaker 6: They've been hats something and they played they played well.
Speaker 1: You guys in nineteen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they played well, they played hard, they
Speaker 8: played well on defense, they go full full tilt offenses,
Speaker 8: playing well. It's got some free agents guys who you know,
Speaker 8: lived up to you know what they signed for. And
Speaker 8: they've been playing well. Trevor Lawrence is a young gun.
Speaker 8: So we're doing They've been good. They've been doing a
Speaker 8: good job. So hats off to them. I ain't never
Speaker 8: hate knowing nobody. I mean just their year. They have
Speaker 8: been playing well.
Speaker 2: You've voted them historically though that's passed some good games.
Speaker 1: We will say that. You your talk, Yeah to your talk.
Speaker 6: Here's talk.
Speaker 1: It's going to be centered around Jesus is busy.
Speaker 8: You're really not, uh but but but you're talking about
Speaker 8: but this this is gonna get bown off proportion. Go ahead,
Speaker 8: but it is what it is. Yeah, but you talk
Speaker 8: about you might have three more weeks. I mean, I
Speaker 8: mean they might might want to give me out of here.
Speaker 8: You mean, you just you just never know. I mean,
Speaker 8: anything can happen. I mean, I'm twenty nine up in age.
Speaker 8: You know what happened with you know, this year, and
Speaker 8: they might be they might want to go young.
Speaker 6: You just never know.
Speaker 1: They might Yeah, I would be, I would be.
Speaker 6: I want to leave.
Speaker 8: I love tennesseee and uh I hope to be here
Speaker 8: the rest of my career. I want to bring super
Speaker 8: Bowl here. But it just it's reality.
Speaker 6: The thing.
Speaker 1: It's just the business side of it, you know. You
Speaker 1: just yeah, you just never know.
Speaker 8: You're my age, being twenty nine and leaving and running back,
Speaker 8: I considered that's old.
Speaker 1: So you know you're you're legit beating running back stereotypes
Speaker 1: right now. You're the only back I don't think so,
Speaker 1: because I feel like a Frank Gore did that for
Speaker 1: sen years.
Speaker 8: Yeah you're talking this Alan played sixteen years. Adrian Peterson
Speaker 8: been playing for for a long.
Speaker 1: Time, trying to be in the NFL, right, Adrian Peterson.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah he is so.
Speaker 8: I mean those guys are are definitely the standard. It's
Speaker 8: not like I'm gonna go out there and like chase
Speaker 8: him like, oh I gotta play that long? No No,
Speaker 8: But like I said, whenever it's my time to be done.
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure like a science project for everybody
Speaker 8: in the media. You're like, yo, the two thousand yards
Speaker 8: year in and year out, Like when's it gonna stop?
Speaker 8: When's it gonna slow down? Like, hell, okay, he's gonna
Speaker 8: slow down. He works out way too hard. We all
Speaker 8: see this stuff on Instagram. He works out way too hard.
Speaker 8: He gets he gets jacked.
Speaker 7: How long?
Speaker 2: How long can he keep this up? And then you
Speaker 2: prove it again, You prove it again, you prove it
Speaker 2: here obviously.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When he's like, you're beating the stereotype, I think ultimately
Speaker 2: the universal stereotype is like, how you haven't really seen
Speaker 2: anybody do what you've done for this period of time.
Speaker 1: If you look at statistically backs that have unegotiate a
Speaker 1: contract with the same team, you're the only back in
Speaker 1: recent years that numbers have gotten better after getting an
Speaker 1: extension along a long term extension, And that has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with those backs and how much they care
Speaker 1: about football. Let's just say everybody equally cares about football
Speaker 1: the same everybody equally works just as hard. The running
Speaker 1: backs are fucked to some extent because everyone says running
Speaker 1: backs only have so many years, and you truly are
Speaker 1: like he's saying science ports, You truly are one of
Speaker 1: those individuals like, hey, you're like in tom Brady, You're
Speaker 1: about have been tom Brady, You're soon for a running
Speaker 1: back where it's like, dude, he's just still balling, he
Speaker 1: is still just doing his thing. People count them out.
Speaker 1: People could be like if you turn a game and
Speaker 1: you watched Denver this year when he's forty yards and
Speaker 1: you would say, oh, man, Derek, Derek's he's lost a step,
Speaker 1: he's whatever, and you're not not not looking at injury
Speaker 1: as the king ended, and then you look at the
Speaker 1: end of the seven, it's like sixteen, you was at sixty.
Speaker 8: No, I mean that's that's valid, you know, especially like
Speaker 8: with my injury and you know, me being up in age.
Speaker 8: Those questions come, Yeah, everybody always come because I mean,
Speaker 8: you know, running backs there they're spanding NFL.
Speaker 6: It's not long.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: I know people probably brought us out the portion about
Speaker 6: about what I.
Speaker 8: Said, but I'm just being real, you know, with you know,
Speaker 8: with the history, you know, wruner Vegas, twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 8: Thirty is just you know, thirty. You try to get
Speaker 8: him out of there or think he's going downhill.
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, Chris Johnson was doing well and they're like,
Speaker 1: we want to go young. When he was in the podcast,
Speaker 1: is what he said.
Speaker 8: And then like you said, you know, you know, offic
Speaker 8: has been sitting around me a long time, and sometimes
Speaker 8: people won't see something different. Maybe people tired of seeing
Speaker 8: me if you've been sitting around me. So I mean,
Speaker 8: I'm just just being real. I'm not saying I want
Speaker 8: to be trading anything like that, but I'm just saying,
Speaker 8: like you just never know. You just never know anything.
Speaker 1: You don't ever know. It's like es, that's what the
Speaker 1: new GM. He might be like, Man, we get get
Speaker 1: this Henry boy out of here.
Speaker 6: Man we got to.
Speaker 1: Imagine. Imagine, imagine Derek Henry in a different uniform than
Speaker 1: the Titans. Blasphemous, that would be blaspheming. It'd be weird
Speaker 1: for Yeah, you and Jack right, two longtime Titan fans. Literally,
Speaker 1: Derek gave you something to like believe in again.
Speaker 6: I love Nashville. I mean it's been been home for me.
Speaker 1: Plus Bama, my little girls and growing up here.
Speaker 8: So I mean Nashville is is home for me. I
Speaker 8: love playing for the Titans. I love the whole organization.
Speaker 8: I love everybody in the organization. And you know, I
Speaker 8: love all my teammates I played with now and in
Speaker 8: the past. At the end of the day, I mean,
Speaker 8: it's the NFL. It's not for long, right, and it's
Speaker 8: on the situation that could change.
Speaker 6: That's how we go.
Speaker 2: The owner or a new gym could look at like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're happy he just got sixteen hundred yards. Maybe that's
Speaker 2: that's we can see that as him being at the
Speaker 2: top and use that like, while we have him here
Speaker 2: right now, we could trade him off for some draft
Speaker 2: capital or for another a younger.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But if I'm Derek and if you're gonna trade me,
Speaker 1: I'm all right, pay me, then pay me more money
Speaker 1: right now than what do you mean? If I'm Derek
Speaker 1: and I'm speaking for Derek, I'm not there does not
Speaker 1: have to speak on this. If you're gonna trade me
Speaker 1: to let's just say a random team, your favorite team,
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, Right, I'm saying, all right, if you
Speaker 1: guys want to trade for me, then you need to
Speaker 1: pay me this amount of money and then then if
Speaker 1: I say no, then the place just go through and
Speaker 1: Derek plays with Titans, or he doesn't play, or he
Speaker 1: does whatever he wants.
Speaker 11: I'm saying if because the player have that ability to
Speaker 11: just at the same time, you know, I know't I
Speaker 11: didn't take care of the ball well this year, which
Speaker 11: you know, I know Mars will help hold myself accountable
Speaker 11: for you know, my fumbles or our turnovers and anything
Speaker 11: like that.
Speaker 6: I need to get better at. That's one thing about
Speaker 6: this game. You think you'll arrive.
Speaker 8: I saying I have, but I'm saying it always you know,
Speaker 8: humble you and show you that it's always room for improvement.
Speaker 6: And that's what I always want to focus on is improvement.
Speaker 8: I need to prove on taking the care of taking
Speaker 8: care of the ball better, which I put us a
Speaker 8: harm way, put us the harmless way a lot this
Speaker 8: year and kind of makes me feel like, uh B,
Speaker 8: I t h because I, you know, humble so much
Speaker 8: this year. But something I need to do better at
Speaker 8: and I will definitely focus on this year in the
Speaker 8: all season of taking care of the ball and practicing
Speaker 8: that a whole lot.
Speaker 1: Is that something you look back on this past season.
Speaker 8: You're like him, Yeah, I just this next me every time,
Speaker 8: you know, I think about it and I wish I
Speaker 8: could have done better. But the same time stuff like
Speaker 8: that happens, you need to improve. That's one thing I
Speaker 8: definitely want to improve on.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I definitely want to learn more about
Speaker 2: that little player thing that you were just talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah. See he say play pay me more or I
Speaker 1: won't go. I believe players can say I will not
Speaker 1: accept that trade or or like Gronk did when here's
Speaker 1: the page, I think I'm retiring, I'm retiring.
Speaker 6: Or something, and it won't get past me.
Speaker 1: You don't.
Speaker 2: If you if you have a trade clause in your contract,
Speaker 2: then I think you could say you kind of get
Speaker 2: to choose where you go.
Speaker 1: But if you don't have trade clause, you don't have
Speaker 1: they can ship you wherever they want. Hey, no, you
Speaker 1: can't do that. You gotta pay me more. No, we
Speaker 1: don't see you.
Speaker 8: If you I think you don't have a trade clause,
Speaker 8: they can ship you, can trade you wherever they want
Speaker 8: to trade you.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 2: And all I was all I was speaking to is
Speaker 2: when you just have the perspective of you know, when
Speaker 2: you're telling Taylor, like you say, three weeks, bro, you
Speaker 2: never know, He's like they get rid of me?
Speaker 8: Will you could look in Well, I'm terribly sorry and
Speaker 8: I should have said something before. If you've had this
Speaker 8: booger in your nose this whole podcast. Yeah, it's been
Speaker 8: sitting there, but ain't none of you gonna say nothing?
Speaker 8: Where's it at?
Speaker 1: You got it?
Speaker 6: It's going now.
Speaker 1: But do you think it was visible on the Do
Speaker 1: you think it was? It's probably not was hanging though,
Speaker 1: it was hanging out right there, hanging gripping. What what
Speaker 1: were you saying about? Saying like I still have to refocus.
Speaker 2: On talking about the the method of somebody could be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: it's good that he went for sixteen hundred, Like maybe
Speaker 2: we think he won't be the same player going in
Speaker 2: the next year. Yeah, I mean that's that's real. Like
Speaker 2: that that's real armchair gym. I'm not saying he's not.
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh damn, maybe we could have we
Speaker 2: could head your bet now out. It's good that he
Speaker 2: performed that. Well, we don't think he's going to next year.
Speaker 2: This is our time to trade him because he will
Speaker 2: be at his highest trade value right now with sixteen
Speaker 2: hundred yards two thousand yards this that the other.
Speaker 1: He proves he's healthy now for a season.
Speaker 2: That's just that's speaking to the perspective of you ultimately
Speaker 2: never know in the business of like.
Speaker 8: You know, the NFL, I mean you don't know. I mean,
Speaker 8: do we think aj is gonna get traded? No, No,
Speaker 8: that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You just don't. You never know.
Speaker 8: And that's just the reality of it. I mean, it's
Speaker 8: a business, yeah, and Sansy Titans is a business. It's
Speaker 8: not Derrick Herry stays here forever or any other place forever.
Speaker 8: It's a business. They gonna look out for what's best
Speaker 8: for the organization and the business before anything.
Speaker 6: No, nobody's bigger than you know, the organization. So that's
Speaker 6: just real.
Speaker 1: That's just real.
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, I know, you're you're right real,
Speaker 8: you're right, You're that is you won't good thanks last forever.
Speaker 8: But something in the NFL, it really really doesn't. The
Speaker 8: one person who really has the last ever for Tom Brady,
Speaker 8: and he could. He did what he wants for a
Speaker 8: long time.
Speaker 1: So he's done this a three undred million dollar concient
Speaker 1: you know what I'm.
Speaker 8: Saying it's worked out for him very well as long
Speaker 8: as he's wanted to play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: This was your reaction, Like, I'm sure the same as
Speaker 2: everybody's with a boring ask question. I was gonna say,
Speaker 2: what was your reaction on draft now when you saw
Speaker 2: AJ got traded?
Speaker 8: I was, I was mad, and I'm just like, what's
Speaker 8: going on? We couldn't get it worked out? We trading?
Speaker 8: I thought my little brother. I mean, we was a tandem.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 6: I was just like, man, I was hot.
Speaker 1: I tosked him on the phone because I was just like, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't.
Speaker 8: Because nobody expected that he was, like what a J
Speaker 8: approven receiver.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I mean I was kind of I was. I was shocked.
Speaker 8: I was.
Speaker 1: I was hurt. Yes, it's my dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that situation being closer to me, you're like, low key,
Speaker 2: Why any of you guys any side keep me in
Speaker 2: the loop on this because I could have been a
Speaker 2: tool to keep AJ here.
Speaker 1: No, because I ain't think it's gonna happen. I was.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for it to come out. A J.
Speaker 6: Brown signed a one hundred million dollars with the Titans.
Speaker 1: I was waiting on that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was literally I think I'm I was walking
Speaker 8: in the room and it said a J. Brown trade
Speaker 8: to the Eagles. I was like what, Yeah, I was like, oh,
Speaker 8: that was wild. I was watching the right away.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: But I will say the guys who player receiver this year,
Speaker 8: they did, you know, a great job.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: It was tough, especially being you know, first year with
Speaker 8: Rob and trailing being a rookie, and then Nick, you know,
Speaker 8: he's been here going on year three. He's been solid
Speaker 8: for us, and they did the best job they could
Speaker 8: man and tried to try to fill in and make
Speaker 8: place for us.
Speaker 6: It ain't always easy. It's never gonna go the way
Speaker 6: we wanted to go.
Speaker 8: And you know, hats off of them, you know, because
Speaker 8: trying to play somebody like a j who just broke
Speaker 8: the singles single season record for the Eagles and been
Speaker 8: going crazy, it's hard to try to replace somebody like
Speaker 8: that and living in that shadow. That's tough for anybody.
Speaker 8: But I feel like they tried to do the best
Speaker 8: out they could.
Speaker 1: So that was wild. It was tough.
Speaker 8: It was I mean it was tough, and man, playing
Speaker 8: with three different quarterbacks I'm trying to build a chim
Speaker 8: Street and everybody that's tough, that's tough, I like you.
Speaker 1: Say, mindful of everybody who could be involved in a situation.
Speaker 2: I mean, like you, you go back to make it
Speaker 2: a point to talk about the guys who came in
Speaker 2: when I wouldn't get their best.
Speaker 8: I know, because I don't want to leave, like dang,
Speaker 8: I'm not that type of teammate to leave anybody, anybody hanging.
Speaker 8: It's hard in this league, you know, and you know,
Speaker 8: anything can happen, and you know, injuries happen, and guys
Speaker 8: gotta step up, and guys gotta make plays. And you
Speaker 8: know a j was a big time player for us,
Speaker 8: and then you end up in another team and other
Speaker 8: guys gotta step up.
Speaker 6: And I feel like they tried to do the best
Speaker 6: that they could.
Speaker 8: And just like you said, just like you pointed out,
Speaker 8: with the lineman and guys go down, the other guys
Speaker 8: gotta step up. I never they probably never thought that,
Speaker 8: like man, they'd be starting in two or three games,
Speaker 8: and look, you know that's what it is.
Speaker 1: How about Jordan Rouge and Corey Levin.
Speaker 8: Tough, you know, went out there and laid it all
Speaker 8: out and then you know, I watching them throughout camping
Speaker 8: throughout the season at all the confidence, you know, because
Speaker 8: they love this game and they play harder just like
Speaker 8: you guys.
Speaker 1: M they seem like they really played well in those
Speaker 1: last few games. Should we hit the tear top?
Speaker 8: People just people just bash everybody, man, you know, dude,
Speaker 8: especially when you It's one thing when a player know,
Speaker 8: you know, he's not playing as well as he you know,
Speaker 8: should be, or you know, playing to the standard that
Speaker 8: you know everybody expects somebody to play and players already
Speaker 8: know that, so you know, and people always speak on
Speaker 8: like mental health and all this type of stuff, but
Speaker 8: people don't know that you contribute to that. You know,
Speaker 8: when when say a player lashes out or something happened,
Speaker 8: they be like, oh man, mental health is so important.
Speaker 8: But people don't realize you contribute that when you send
Speaker 8: a bashing the player when they already know they playing
Speaker 8: bad and then got to go watch it and then
Speaker 8: got to get coached by it, and then still trying
Speaker 8: to mentally be there to get past that game and
Speaker 8: go to another game and play as well as they
Speaker 8: can while you know, you know, social media and all
Speaker 8: this type of stuff. And you know, somebody asked me
Speaker 8: during the season about social media comment. I was like, man,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna get into all that because I'm gonna do
Speaker 8: all that and try to do my job the best.
Speaker 6: Way I can.
Speaker 8: But you know, that's just the way way of the
Speaker 8: world now. And you know with fantasy football and gods,
Speaker 8: same play. But I see all the time people like me,
Speaker 8: I don't care about your pansy football, but it's just
Speaker 8: what it is. NFL is about money, and you know,
Speaker 8: we all got a job to do. We all, you know,
Speaker 8: play this game with a heart out and sometimes they
Speaker 8: don't go the way that we wanted to, especially each game,
Speaker 8: because it's tough and you know, you get you get
Speaker 8: bashed and people get bashed. But in the day, we
Speaker 8: were human beings, you know what I'm saying. We got
Speaker 8: feelings too. We you know, we try to do our
Speaker 8: best and sometimes it don't happen what we wanted to.
Speaker 1: But I just I don't know.
Speaker 8: I just think about players and mental health and all
Speaker 8: that type of stuff, and you know, sometimes it get
Speaker 8: tough for for certain people when you don't know them
Speaker 8: and what they're going through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I feel you were saying something too.
Speaker 2: You're like you ultimately, you already know when you have
Speaker 2: a bad game, you're already you're you're.
Speaker 8: Can attest to that when you know you playing bad
Speaker 8: and you know you got to watch how you play
Speaker 8: bad and you got.
Speaker 6: To get coach from it, and you are already you
Speaker 6: know in your head like, man, I got to play better.
Speaker 8: Trying to move on from that because it's a new week,
Speaker 8: but you still like, dang, you know you still got
Speaker 8: that hanging on your.
Speaker 2: Critic, your coaches already, players are hearing the same thing.
Speaker 2: Then uh, you're trying to like get past it that
Speaker 2: next week. Media is still talking about it. Then people
Speaker 2: on the internet like it's just multiple ways. When you're
Speaker 2: also trying to be like mentally tough and persevere through
Speaker 2: some adversity.
Speaker 1: It's like people don't understand that.
Speaker 8: They I think people do understand because it's what we
Speaker 8: signed up for. By the end of the day. Man,
Speaker 8: it's a lot of mental stuff that you like, like
Speaker 8: we'll always say the game is ten percent physical, non
Speaker 8: decent mental timpercent physical because I mean physical part, we
Speaker 8: got it.
Speaker 6: That's why we hear.
Speaker 8: That's what you're like, But mentally you got to be
Speaker 8: locked in to be able to sustain and play this
Speaker 8: game for as long as you have longer to seasons.
Speaker 1: Are and play it at a high level over and
Speaker 1: over again.
Speaker 8: And I think that, you know, anytime I see people,
Speaker 8: you know, bashing players and saying they playing bad, especially
Speaker 8: with this fantish football stuff, I mean, thanks, football is
Speaker 8: it's great, It's entertaining. At the end of the day.
Speaker 8: You know, we were human. You know we love this game.
Speaker 8: We're not trying to play bad on purpose. Sometimes you
Speaker 8: don't have good games. We love to go for a
Speaker 8: hundred yards and go crazy every game. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 8: reality of it. It don't happen that way all the time,
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. And I just think that,
Speaker 8: you know, when people bashed people playing bad, they already
Speaker 8: know that you don't have to.
Speaker 6: But that's just the way of the world now.
Speaker 1: It's both ways too, Like everybody wants to have one
Speaker 1: hundred yards, But then when you have games like you've
Speaker 1: had in the past, if Derek Henry just gets a
Speaker 1: hundred yards, like, why is there going to getting a
Speaker 1: hundred yards? I need to see what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: Points for me with understand it's like be mindful of
Speaker 8: like you know these these players, man, because a lot
Speaker 8: of players walking around, say, a lot of players can't
Speaker 8: can't take that type of stuff, Like with somebody who
Speaker 8: on the internet wants somebody to come to their job
Speaker 8: and just critique them about everything they do, or you
Speaker 8: gonna do this right and you will how you're gonna
Speaker 8: tell me how to do my job exactly, That's what
Speaker 8: that's that's how we feel.
Speaker 1: We got a chance to put your job. The thing
Speaker 1: is what our job is on TV.
Speaker 8: And everybody has an opinion on it, you know what
Speaker 8: I'm saying, So they get to say what they want
Speaker 8: to say. But if it was a regular day job
Speaker 8: and we got to all the prop players go to
Speaker 8: a random person job and critique them on everything, you
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, fall apart entertaining though it's.
Speaker 1: Not, it's entertaining. I think that what separates an individual
Speaker 1: from a good do a great player is being able
Speaker 1: to mentally handle those types of situations because you have
Speaker 1: a bad game, You're right if like, if I have
Speaker 1: a bad game, I not only have to have the
Speaker 1: bad game, I have to go home, I have to
Speaker 1: watch the film on that bad game because you obsessed
Speaker 1: over it. You're like, damn, how could I what could
Speaker 1: I have done better? And you watch every little thing
Speaker 1: and then you do two things. You say, man, I
Speaker 1: really got fucked up in this situation or I really
Speaker 1: messed up. And then you start playing your own ego
Speaker 1: kicks in where you're like, well, it wasn't that bad.
Speaker 1: All I have to do is change X, Y and
Speaker 1: Z and I'm straight and I'll fix that next time.
Speaker 1: Then you will go to doesn't go too hard, and
Speaker 1: then you go to sleep. You wake up anxiety because
Speaker 1: you know you hit that team meeting. You know how
Speaker 1: verable can get in team meetings. You go to the
Speaker 1: office Lineman meeting Keith Carter. You know how Keith Carter
Speaker 1: was in those meetings I told you about those, like
Speaker 1: he will just go off on dudes. You're hearing over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And then as soon as
Speaker 1: that Monday hits, like can now take a take a Tuesday,
Speaker 1: make sure you're recovered, and get ready to work Wednesday
Speaker 1: for the next game. And the ability to take all
Speaker 1: that anxiety and stress and feeling like a failure and
Speaker 1: having imposter syndrome and then turning around to Wednesday and
Speaker 1: being able to now work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Speaker 1: go play another game and then have a good game.
Speaker 1: That's what separates players from being good to great because
Speaker 1: people have talent. Everybody has talent, even dudes that you
Speaker 1: like on the third string at certain times, they have talent.
Speaker 1: It's just about when you mess up, how quickly can
Speaker 1: you get over that. Sometimes it's one play, like I
Speaker 1: have to give over this. In one play, I give
Speaker 1: up a sack. I have to move on right now.
Speaker 1: If you get if you make a bad cut, and
Speaker 1: you know you made a bad cut, it's like I
Speaker 1: have to move on from that right now.
Speaker 8: But not just I mean football players and everything when
Speaker 8: we go through a lot too, But everybody in life
Speaker 8: you go through a lot. So I'm just not trying to,
Speaker 8: you know, trying to separate football players from anybody else
Speaker 8: in the world. I mean, everybody go through everything. But
Speaker 8: I feel like, man, just hold your head, keep faith
Speaker 8: and just keep working and trust and believe in what
Speaker 8: you do and how you work, and everything will work
Speaker 8: out the way you wanted to, especially you know, playing football.
Speaker 8: You know, like I said earlier this year, to like
Speaker 8: some of my team teammates. As you know, as a
Speaker 8: little kid, if God told you how to do this
Speaker 8: and this to get to the NFL, you would do it,
Speaker 8: no question, to make it to your dream. And then
Speaker 8: I think sometimes when we get to the NFL, you
Speaker 8: kind of forget about that kid that would do anything
Speaker 8: playing on rec league field or in your parents or grandparents'
Speaker 8: front yard, of you know, making the NFL and being
Speaker 8: in a big star one day, whether you are a
Speaker 8: star or if you made it, you accomplished something. You
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, So being grateful for what this
Speaker 8: game has done and what God has done in your
Speaker 8: life and all the people that help you get to
Speaker 8: this point in life. Because some people who got a
Speaker 8: lot worse, some people who still working their way to
Speaker 8: do accomplish something in life. But you on the NFL
Speaker 8: team and you made it, and even if you didn't
Speaker 8: make it long, but you you got to where you
Speaker 8: always wanted to be as a kid, and and you
Speaker 8: you know, you you accomplished something in life.
Speaker 6: And I think sometimes we forget that.
Speaker 8: And I want one thing I always try to remind
Speaker 8: myself it could always be worse, because even if I
Speaker 8: have a bad game or if I do something, I
Speaker 8: just harpoint it really bad. Like I said, like you say,
Speaker 8: like everybody's their own worst critic, and I'm definitely mine,
Speaker 8: and I I beat myself up a lot. But as
Speaker 8: at some point, you just gotta realized, Man, I'm blessed
Speaker 8: to be where I'm at and to have these problems
Speaker 8: because you know, you know, it's it's it's never easy,
Speaker 8: and it's it's hard to play in this league. But
Speaker 8: end of the day, I'm always gonna be grateful, grateful
Speaker 8: for the season, even though we didn't go the way
Speaker 8: we wanted it to and any way we wanted it to.
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, you know, I
Speaker 8: got to grow and I got to see a lot
Speaker 8: that I need to get get better at. It help me,
Speaker 8: you know, become better teammate. And each each year you
Speaker 8: learn something. I feel like you learned something this year
Speaker 8: about yourself and what you want to do. And each
Speaker 8: year I feel like we all we all learned something.
Speaker 8: And that's the thing about God, He'll show you what
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 1: The beautiful thing about you seeing on this podcast and
Speaker 1: saying that is people are going to be able to
Speaker 1: hear that, and people are gonna be able to see that,
Speaker 1: Like here's people look at fifty one or seventy seven
Speaker 1: or twenty two and they see us on TV and
Speaker 1: it's polarizing to them. For you to be able to
Speaker 1: serve on a microphone and explain what people go through
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis and how everyone has issues,
Speaker 1: that's going to resonate with a lot of people.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just want to be read because it's been
Speaker 8: in my heart for a long time and I just
Speaker 8: want to speak on that because I see guys in
Speaker 8: the league, and I see guys all over that you know,
Speaker 8: I know they work hard, and I know they try
Speaker 8: to do everything they can.
Speaker 1: Just happening them for them right now. But you know,
Speaker 1: you look at guys that struggle but now have.
Speaker 8: Came, you know, who've gotten over, you know, the thedversity
Speaker 8: hump and it's not falling, And try to tell guys
Speaker 8: to stay with it, trusting your work, trusting you know
Speaker 8: everything that you do and everything that happen the way
Speaker 8: the way the way you want it to. And people
Speaker 8: always have something to say. Everybody has their own their
Speaker 8: own opinion. As long as you lock in and focus
Speaker 8: in have tunnel vision of what you want to do
Speaker 8: and what you want to be, and it happened for you,
Speaker 8: you know, and you know, it's it's hard to avoid
Speaker 8: what people say being on the internet, be on social media,
Speaker 8: because I mean it's it's everywhere nowadays. But I feel like,
Speaker 8: you know, as long as you stay locked them mentally
Speaker 8: and everything go work out the way you want to.
Speaker 6: And it's it's tough sometimes because.
Speaker 8: It can't get in your head and it can't make
Speaker 8: you feel some type of way and you start to
Speaker 8: believe those things, you know sometimes but sometimes you gotta
Speaker 8: you know, distract yourself of extra and and just focus
Speaker 8: on your craft and what you need to do. And sometimes,
Speaker 8: like you did, you got off social media because it
Speaker 8: because sometimes people it can you know, come control, can
Speaker 8: be controlling and and and and let it control you.
Speaker 1: And you know, social media can be it can be toxic.
Speaker 8: I mean, it is toxic at at times, and a
Speaker 8: lot of people get caught up in that and you
Speaker 8: just don't want it to you know, take over who
Speaker 8: you are as a person, don't lose yourself as a person,
Speaker 8: and just remember you know what got you where you are,
Speaker 8: and you know, that's just the way of the world. Now,
Speaker 8: But I just wanted to let everybody know in the
Speaker 8: world and the football world, hold your head. You know,
Speaker 8: it ain't as rough as you think it is. It
Speaker 8: can always be worse, man, and just keep doing what
Speaker 8: you do, stay locked in, just keep working, man. No
Speaker 8: matter what nobody say, somebody's always gonna have something to say.
Speaker 8: They ain't saying that you ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 1: Is there anything you'd want to say to the fantasy
Speaker 1: owners that you let down there? Sure?
Speaker 8: Oh, I am to be sorry, man. Hopefully I can
Speaker 8: be able to showcase a little a little bit better
Speaker 8: and I'll give you some more fantasy points. But I
Speaker 8: think you know, every player in the league, we just
Speaker 8: try to go out there in ball. Sometimes they don't
Speaker 8: go the way we wanted to. I don't mean we
Speaker 8: like your fantasy team the one there's one thing it
Speaker 8: wasn't day.
Speaker 2: It's like death taxes and a football player being like,
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck about your fantasy team.
Speaker 1: That's every year, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8: Young people can talk crazy to you now about you know,
Speaker 8: people get caught up in that.
Speaker 1: Crazy story when he comes on again. I would I'm
Speaker 1: not sure everybody has crazy stories.
Speaker 8: People start crazy to me about being football, especially when
Speaker 8: people talking to deans about fantasy football.
Speaker 6: But I just ignore it.
Speaker 8: But they can get it, can get crazy sometimes fantasy
Speaker 8: give it that fantasy football stuff.
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, man, we just
Speaker 6: try to go ball and the best we can.
Speaker 8: And if you're a fantasy balling you ball out this
Speaker 8: year or you've been doing it at a yearly basis,
Speaker 8: keep doing your thing.
Speaker 1: But as a GM, I'm a winner this year. I
Speaker 1: took the gold. Take a lot of pride. They do.
Speaker 1: Take a lot of pride.
Speaker 6: Take a lot of pride football for real.
Speaker 1: Should we hit tier talk before we let the king leave?
Speaker 1: I'm talking you need it. It's five o'clock. We're talking
Speaker 1: for a minute, I know, for a while talk. Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry stiff arms.
Speaker 6: No, we don't do this.
Speaker 1: Why not? You got a lot? I got it our
Speaker 1: tier talk Tier talk. It would be like your best
Speaker 1: step farm, your second best step farm, your third best
Speaker 1: most iconic stiff farms. Well, can do a different one
Speaker 1: if you want a different one, he stiff arms, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, I got it.
Speaker 2: Before we do tier talk, can we at least get
Speaker 2: a top three like Derreck Henry stiff farms I wanted
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: I have my three? What's your three?
Speaker 2: Y'all can do it, but I'll just I'll just you
Speaker 2: don't have your favorite stiff arms? Did you look back
Speaker 2: on this? Well, look back on farms like what are
Speaker 2: your favorites? Who's the highest priced one?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 8: I didn't never really put them out though, I never
Speaker 8: really because that market kind of Oh yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 8: you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't like look back and be like, I got
Speaker 1: a top you know, stiff farm catalog.
Speaker 8: I think when I'm done, I will because I feel
Speaker 8: like I still got some more in me as I'm
Speaker 8: still playing. But right or no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 8: no disrespect, but no, I'm just waiting to see what
Speaker 8: I'm done.
Speaker 1: To reflect on it. Yeah, how would this? We'll say
Speaker 1: our top three stiff arms and you use one word
Speaker 1: to describe how you feel about our top three mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Only to say one word how you feel about Will
Speaker 1: and I stiff arm tears.
Speaker 8: Were No, no, because I ain't trying to It's one word.
Speaker 8: I ain't trying to embarrass nobody. Man, It's been enough.
Speaker 8: It's been enough, you know, even talk about it enough?
Speaker 1: No, bro, bro, I talk here talk Michigan, Michigan State.
Speaker 2: You'd probably go man polarizing. It would probably be the
Speaker 2: Josh Norman one. And the third one is either personally
Speaker 2: uh seeing it on TV because I got to see it,
Speaker 2: the Josh Normal one that was fun. Guy came up
Speaker 2: off the bench. Holy fuck boys, we gotta go see
Speaker 2: what it just happened. But objectively watching the Earl Thomas one,
Speaker 2: and I say that too, like I would say this
Speaker 2: was Josh ash is a boy before we were teammates.
Speaker 1: That's what That's unfortunate. It could have happened to me.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that didn't But uh, either Earl Thomas
Speaker 2: or honestly, Bro the one you had last week when
Speaker 2: you got old boy on the on the sideline and
Speaker 2: you kind of like, you know, yay, come on now
Speaker 2: you don't have to flex, but you kind of stood
Speaker 2: up over for a second. I just dropped you where
Speaker 2: you don't have to say nothing.
Speaker 1: Don't say. But those are probably my tops? Do you
Speaker 1: have any I don't know if the King wanted this
Speaker 1: to happen, so I'm kind of ahead.
Speaker 6: He's already done that.
Speaker 1: My top three, my number three stiff arm by Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry would go in the National Championship game against Michigan State,
Speaker 1: which you did to Sheli Calhoun. Playoff game, playoff game, Sorry,
Speaker 1: the playoff game. I apologize, sir. You picked up that
Speaker 1: Tutor Stetard pound man. Not only did you stiff arm him,
Speaker 1: you spun him in a way that blended, like ninety
Speaker 1: degree angle blended him and he fell to the ground.
Speaker 1: It was iconic and it was Michigan State, which was
Speaker 1: nice for me. Jack Coughlin was part of that team.
Speaker 1: Number two Earl Thomas because Earl was talking all that
Speaker 1: ship the week before. I like Earl. I've never met Earl,
Speaker 1: but I like Earl quite a bit. Drop the arm,
Speaker 1: got chop the arm. That's all you do. We're gonna
Speaker 1: stand up to him. Shut up do And he basically
Speaker 1: basically turned him into a blocker for you and my
Speaker 1: number one step arm. Number one stiff from play is
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars ninety nine yards, not one, not two,
Speaker 1: not three, but possibly four stiff arms for a nine
Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown. That ship was so hyped too, because
Speaker 1: we literally called it before called that touchdown. Ye go
Speaker 1: back to the main topic of this. Have you changed
Speaker 1: burger when he's burger.
Speaker 8: But I said, you had gave me a burger, and
Speaker 8: I said, when he's burger is way better than that burger.
Speaker 8: And then we went on to other burgers. But I
Speaker 8: don't know how it stuck that when he's had the best.
Speaker 12: Burger when he's over five guys, who money to go
Speaker 12: to five guys and eat when he's over five guys,
Speaker 12: that's what you think when he's with five guys, I'm
Speaker 12: gonna say.
Speaker 1: When he's on five guys, you know, bro, come on, no, no, no, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know my back. You're looking at you because your back,
Speaker 1: you bro. Everybody know that's horrible. Now listen, Wendy's is
Speaker 1: a good burger. I got a little thing.
Speaker 8: Please please start with the Windys. I never said, why
Speaker 8: was the best burger? Whinny's on five guys and he's like,
Speaker 8: whoa keep bringing burger?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, we can stop right now. What's the
Speaker 1: best burger? You were in the locker room arguing about Wendy's.
Speaker 1: I do want that to be said that point. That's
Speaker 1: why I went to.
Speaker 8: Windy after practice. Yeah, I know, because I thought you
Speaker 8: had mentioned somebody. I said, Whinnys burger is better than
Speaker 8: that burger for sure, And you was like, no, bro,
Speaker 8: And I said, Bro, I'm telling you Whinny's burger is
Speaker 8: better than that one. I forgot which which one you mentioned?
Speaker 8: I forgot which which burg was five guys? No, I
Speaker 8: don't think it was five guy, it was something else.
Speaker 1: What's the best burgers?
Speaker 2: If I said d Q, I'm definitely just trying to
Speaker 2: get in the mix, and just yeah, you definitely will
Speaker 2: be in the locker room.
Speaker 1: Everybody was kind of just arguing the best burger.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's that's tough.
Speaker 1: And out.
Speaker 8: It's no, no, somebody lives in frainwashed It's it's good,
Speaker 8: but it's not like the best the best burger. The
Speaker 8: fries are not it.
Speaker 1: When I'm talking about the burger.
Speaker 8: I'm saying, overall the burger burger is pretty good, but
Speaker 8: it's not one of the best.
Speaker 1: Now, okay, so can you give me your list top five?
Speaker 1: I think my mind have changed. Actually, okay, come on.
Speaker 1: Number one would be in and out. Number two's crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it is Carl's Junior.
Speaker 6: I never had that burger before.
Speaker 1: And number three, if we're keeping fast casual in it,
Speaker 1: which I think there's an argument both ways fast casual
Speaker 1: meaning there's no fast like there's no drive through because
Speaker 1: it is. I would I would probably throw Shakeshack in there, Shakeshack.
Speaker 1: Being in Nashville. It's like my three favorite burgers. I
Speaker 1: heard you, baby said, I've never had you babies, bro
Speaker 1: it was my three favorite burgers.
