WEBVTT - Shane Vereen Has A Dance Off 0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:08.559 From the king of sports books comes the key sports 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:19.000 podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Jana's 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:29.280 Papas and Olivia Harland Decker. Welcome to Unleashed from Bet MGM, 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.560 the team of sports books. So much to get to 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.240 this week the game of the season, or at least 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.200 the storyline of the season. Sunday Night in prime time, 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.640 it's Goat Verse Goat. We've been waiting two years to 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.599 see Tom Brady and Bill Belichick face each other in 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.720 what is sure to be even more awkward than Matt 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.720 Lafleura Kyle Shanahan drive by handshake that was painful. The 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.280 defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers and Tom Brady returned to 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.560 New England to take on the Patriots. Honest, do you 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.120 think Tom Brady will get big booze or big applause, 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.559 huge applause? I mean, even the mass holes aren't gonna 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:14.479 dame to cheer there. And look, don't get me wrong, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.600 I'm no fan of New England fans. I think there's 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.959 some of the most disrespectful. We have a big rivalry 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.680 with them in baseball. But you're talking about a guy 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.240 who was the King of New England returning home. It's 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.319 like John Snow coming back from war at the Wall. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.640 This is gonna be This will be one of the 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.200 biggest ovations we've heard in sports history. I hope you're right. 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.960 I think you're right. I've gone back and thought a 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.320 little bit about other situations that are similar. Although I 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.119 don't know if it gets bigger than this, and maybe 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.040 this is just us being American NFL crazy people. But 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.720 some examples that are kind of similar are Lebron James 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.160 returning to Cleveland after he left, you know, the decision 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.440 going to Miami so dramatic. He got booed coming back 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.960 to cavil leears. But not only that, they made it 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.840 a whole thing. The mascot wore a bulletproof vest. Uh, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.720 you know, the the GM and the owner were shown 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.280 on the big screen walking to their seats. So I 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.480 think it kind of depends on the way the team 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.079 handles it right, the way they kind of play it up. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.639 I don't think the Patriots are going to have that 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.519 much fun with it. Brett far if I remember this one, 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.680 returning to Lambeau as a Viking, he was greeted with 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.960 booze at the then largest crowd to ever be at 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.919 lambou Field Vikings one. He threw four touchdowns. He was fantastic. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.640 That was two thousand nine. Bryce Harper coming home to Washington, 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.160 he was greeted with booze. But then here's one honest that. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.520 I was like, Okay, maybe there's hope and maybe this 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.240 will happen to Brady, Christiano Ronaldo returning and Man United. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.919 It was a huge spectacle. In fact, they even changed 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.720 the way they announced the visiting team. They made his 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.600 name last. They said, you know, the great one of 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.560 our favorites. Blah blah blah, huge dandy innovation, roaring applause. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.960 So maybe, all right, do you think Brady will get 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.280 something like that? I think Belichick doesn't want to give 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.600 Brady any extra motivation, so I wouldn't be surprised to 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.200 see some type of like you said, changing the intro, 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.760 giving him something special on the big screen. I mean, 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:21.120 the difference between uh FARV and all these examples that 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:28.000 you gave returning home is six six ranks. So New 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.680 England is very appreciative of the great Tommy terrific. I 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.360 think it's gonna be a big ovation, just like Eli 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.440 Manning got that you know, I was crying. I cried. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.200 I cried, Yeah, I cried when he came out. He 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.760 got that and they retired his number. The great Eli, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.640 the only quarterback to take town. I like to call 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.040 him Eli Manning or Tom Brady Kryptonite is what I 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.240 like to call him. Okay. Also, I think the difference 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.960 with Brett Farve is Brett chose to leave. The Packers 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.520 wanted to get him as far away from the NFC 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.880 as possible. They gave him to the Jets, and then 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.760 he comes back to the Vikings in the division. That 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.520 was just brutal. But with Brady and the Patriots, you 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.640 cannot forget it was a mutual split. The Patriots didn't 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.839 want to give him that long of an extension. There 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.919 had been some animosity between Belichick and Brady. I know, 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.440 there's so much respect, but with you know, spy Gate, 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.880 Brady had their back and with the flat Gate they 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.080 didn't really have Brady's back, and there was some growing 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.360 stuff there. In fact, he kind of turned away from 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.120 Patriots way and being Patriots first. He really started branding 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.360 himself later in his time in New England with TV 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.160 twelve and TV twelve method and I don't know. So 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.640 I think for Patriots fans to think that Tom just 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.719 left him that is that is ignorant because it was 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.080 a mutual split. And Tom is having the sweetest revenge 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.040 of all, continuing to play, having more fun, getting more 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.599 of a tan. I think he has a last laugh. Yeah, 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.400 and winning another winning another ring for sure. Yeah, this 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.600 disrespect goes a little farther, you know, with Jimmy G. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.400 Like you know, you could obviously Belichick wanted Jimmy G 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.200 to be the guy. Then Brady kind of pushed him out. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.840 And yeah, I mean Brady would have continued playing if 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.919 if I think Belichick didn't want to rebuild. So I 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.680 think he's getting a warm welcome. Yeah. Well, coming up, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.200 we're gonna ask someone who knows way more than we 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.120 do on the topic. It's former Patriots running back in 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.120 Super Bowl Champ Shane Verein. He's going to join us. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.839 He'll tell us what's really going through Tom and coach 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.640 his minds. I'm very curious he won a Super Bowl 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.159 with him. He knows all about the Patriot way. Plus 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.159 we'll talk about it from a betting angle at the 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.920 of the show with our good friend Pete Picks. Peter 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.520 Andrew and wait until you hear what Janice has to 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.800 unleash on this week. This is my favorite segment of 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.800 the show. We'll get to that in just a second. Now, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.040 hopefully you want some money last weekend a lot of 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.560 interesting storylines in the NFL. But if you didn't, and 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.200 if you got screwed by let's say, a sixty six 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.280 yard field goal, you might be our bad beat of week, 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:08.600 bad beat all the week, and the winner of bad 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.799 Beat of the week. And I guess that is loser 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.200 is at Husker Dale. I already feel bad for Husker Dale. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.480 He's a Nebraska fan. It's going to be a long season, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.000 my man. But this was pretty brutal. This is really 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.880 a bad beat. He had a ten team parlay this 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.599 past weekend in college football, and yikes, what a weird twist. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.200 Buffalo was a thirteen and a half point favorite against 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:36.240 Old Dominion and they were up thirty five seven at halftime. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.840 We'll get this. They were shut out in the second half. Now, 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.839 they still beat Old Dominion, but just by one point. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.400 So that of all ten results is what he lost 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.559 on Husker Dale. You deserve this one. Enjoy your hundred 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.560 dollar credit to bed mgm oh Man. Okay, so, speaking 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.840 of bad beats, this week's punishment picks. I am officially 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.520 the New York Jets. I'm owing three and I'm gonna 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.520 to read the outro of the show again. Janice writes it. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.320 I don't get a preview it until I read it live. 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.120 You know, I just blushed like crazy. I've read this 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.880 and my ego has taken such a beating. I just 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.560 I should be better. I should be doing better, and 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.720 I think each week they get a little worse TVH. 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.040 But that's at the end of the show. Okay, It's 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.520 time for us to sound off on who and what 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:28.400 deserves it most in Unleashed, It's time to on leash. Yeah, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.480 time unleash Olivia. Let me tell you something right now. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.240 This has been bothering me for a long time, and 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.400 I just have to give my personal opinion on this. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:43.040 We saw this Sunday, Okay, a few games and in 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.600 what I like to call anti climactic fashion, I've had 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:52.600 enough of these converted soccer players coming in and winning 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:57.080 or losing games on their foot, Okay, after they've been 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.680 sitting on the sidelines just watching who knows, scrolling on Instagram, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.120 whatever they do over there. Then they come in and 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.400 decide the fate of these men who have sacrificed their 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.280 bodies and their their lives and their health and their 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.280 will to try to win this. Some five ft eight 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.760 squeak comes on the field and wins it. And now 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.880 we're seeing sixty six yard field goals. I mean, what's 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.040 the point if you can score from your own side 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.440 of the field. I mean, what's next a d r 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.720 field goals? We gotta do something. If you're gonna get closer, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.680 they gotta pull it in a little closer. They gotta 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.560 pull the field goal post in. It's gotta be tighter. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.199 We gotta make it a little bit harder for them 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.800 to win because their connection, their connection rate is getting 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.920 to like it's like a short thing. Like I knew 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.680 when the Packers had that chance, I knew they were 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.480 gonna win fifty one yards. That's nothing. These days, I've 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.839 had enough. Here's the deal. Maybe we do something like 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.080 if the field goal kicker misses, the guys on a 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.520 team get to uh, he's got to go through one 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.360 of those where he goes through all their legs and 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.040 they spank his butt, or we tie him to a 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.760 field goal post or something. There has to be some punishment, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.760 something more for field goal kicker if he loses the 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.840 game for his team after they fought that hard. I've 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.320 had enough of field goals. Get rid of them. I 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.800 can't believe you say that's an anticlimactic way to win 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.240 a game. I think that's the most dramatic a game 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.960 ender can be. It's the most dramatic part is the 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.800 drive by the quarterback and then this guy shells out 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.079 onto the field. No, because they're just trying to get 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.480 to the little graphic on TV of the field goal 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.920 target line, and once they're there, it relies on the 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.960 foot of the kicker. I agree. I don't like a 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.360 game where the kickers the leading scorer on his team, 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.360 but I love a game that comes down to a kick. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.400 It's so exciting. How can you say it's not. I'm 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.720 done with kickers. No more points after scorers. And what's 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.280 the point of that? What are they like from there? 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.040 I mean, the point after scores should be from the 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.400 fifty yard line from now on. Give it make a 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.320 little more excited? Okay? Well, I also want to unleash 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.040 about something in the NFL and it's rookie quarterbacks this year. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.160 Jannest We were talking about that this summer of all 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.959 the great quarterbacks coming into this year's draft, now they're rookies. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.440 Trevor Lawrence, Szack Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Field, Mac Jones. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.520 It was the talk of the summer. Well, they've struggled 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.640 so far this season. In fact, they're one in ten 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.280 against the spread, with the only win being mac Jones 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.000 over Zack Wilson. And I think that says more about 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.800 the Patriots and Mac Jones, to be honest. But in 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.280 his first start, Justin Fields and the Bears offense managed 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:39.760 only forty seven yards on Sunday, not exactly lighting the 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.160 field on fire. But you know who else struggled the 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.600 rookie season at quarterback. A couple of guys you might 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.480 have heard of, Brett Farve, Peyton Manning, he said, a 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.120 rookie interception record, by the way, Troy Aikman. All went 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.000 on to win Super Bowls. Most of the greats really 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.520 got the luxury of waiting at least a year, usually 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.320 behind another great quarterback in rookies used to be the 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.280 norm because the pay structure was so wacky. Rookie quarterbacks 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.000 were paid ridiculously high. Now the NFL p A limits 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.160 rookie pay, but that doesn't mean they're not an investment. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.439 Do you look at Rogers sitting three years behind far Brady, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.560 behind blood so Patrick Mahomes, behind Alex Smith, Drew Brees, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.040 Philip Rivers, Eli Manning. I mean, there's just so much 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.160 to look at there, and that used to be the norm. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.360 So all I'm saying is the NFL is such a 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.840 different game than college. It is so hard for these 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.800 rookie quarterbacks. They have the way to the world on 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.559 their shoulders. I just can't even imagine that feeling. No 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.640 one is that good when they start anything, especially in 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.320 their professional industry. And you know, Janni's has kind of 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.480 got me thinking, how are you and I when we started? 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.000 So I I went back, I hit the YouTube up 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.679 and I searched my co host Joanna's papas, and I 0:11:55.840 --> 0:12:00.480 found a couple of clips of yours that look very retcher. Um, 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.559 you look very spelt. You were in a mock turtleneck. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.800 Do you know what clip I'm talking about. Yeah, it's 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.200 the one where I look like I'm dressed like Arsenio 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.760 Hall from the Arsenio Hall Show. I'm wearing a mock neck. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.400 I'm not saying you were bad or anything, but you 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.880 seemed a little nervous. Let's play at the tape. He's great, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:26.679 he's from His name is yes. Thank you, thank you, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:34.680 thank you, thank you, thank you. Um I just I 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.160 just moved back from from d C and right represent, 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.079 I mean, what you just watched. What happened was I 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.000 was so nervous. I was so nervous when I got 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.079 to stage. I couldn't feel my arms. I was having 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.840 a panic attack, and I couldn't remember my act. It 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.200 was my first five minutes I ever wrote. So I 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.960 just kept repeating thank you because I couldn't remember any 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.520 jokes until I heard that first laugh, and then it 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.160 all came back. And then yeah, it looks like I 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.440 did okay, But that's because the crowd was filled all 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.080 friends and family, so it was completely rigged. That just 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.400 looks so nerve wracking. Oh yeah, I went on to 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.880 bomb and I was a horrible comedian for the first 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.400 couple of years. I did it. I mean, I was 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.920 absolutely atrocious. I love your Unleashed this week. I agree 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.559 with it, especially in a game like football. Which requires 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.000 so much maturity learning the plays. You know, getting a 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.960 chance for the game is slowed down. I agree with you, Olivia, 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.040 but you know, just to make the point further, we 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.360 you know, we're always even. You find my clip, guess 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:42.560 what I found yours? And this gave me endless joy. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.360 Let's look at a teenage Oh h d reporting live 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.640 outside of some cupcake shop? I know what one this is? 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.880 Oh no, what sweeter way to start off your morning 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.280 then with a cupcake? Hello, this is Olivia Harland with 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.640 four South. I'm at the grand opening of GS Cupcakes 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.400 on St. We've got mixed ninety three point three, a 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.480 line out the door, and prizes every half hour. Let's 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.040 head inside and talk to the owner, Sandy Fuller, to 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.640 see what she's got cooking up today. Olivia, I have 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.719 a question to ask you. First of all, were you 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:22.440 always forty years old? I mean you're ara. During that interview, 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.080 I couldn't believe you were fifteen years old. I mean 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:27.960 I thought I was watching a forty year old woman 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.120 talking about cupcakes. Also, did you need to go to 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.960 the bathroom? I mean, watch your legs crossed? See, people 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.720 are gonna have to watch this to know what we're 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.960 talking about. But now I was just a pageant robot 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.080 at this stage in my career. Yeah, fifteen years old. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.920 It was my first thing ever on camera. And I 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.920 showed my husband because I knew this was coming up, 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.000 and he said, is that your real voice? Like is 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.360 that what you really talk like? And I just looked 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.680 at him for a long time, like, what We've known 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.200 each other five years, been married three and you think 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.000 I have this hidden voice that I only reserve for 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.160 cupcake openings, Like, what are you talking about? But no, 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.200 I uh, I worked a lot on my voice and 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.360 then you know, I'm what thirteen years older now, so 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.840 I definitely have matured. But yeah, watching that back, my 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.920 first on camera ever, by the way I thought at 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.640 the time, I killed it, and it's just so funny 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.160 watching it. One part that we laughed at is I say, 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.359 there's a line out the door and there's no one there. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.840 I just it is cringe e. But look all I'm saying, 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.479 and thank you for bringing that up. I'm thoroughly embarrassed 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.360 is that people evolved, they get better and you know, honest, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.200 I really think you were always good at comedy. That 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.880 first sketch was not bad at all. But these rookie 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.200 quarterbacks are going to get better. We can't judge them 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.920 based on a few starts. Not everyone is going to 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.520 be like Justin Herbert and be great right off the bat. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.560 It doesn't happen overnight. And here's the other thing. If 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.280 fans are demanding they play these rookie quarterbacks because they 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.160 want to watch a good show, you know, they want 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:01.880 to they want to talk about something they want to 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.320 buy in New Jersey, forget it. You're you're just hurting them. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:06.760 They're not going to be good right off the bat. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:11.200 It is so rare, and truly most of them are 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.040 not ready. Wow, Olivia, I gotta say that was really good. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.320 I actually agree with that unleashed you know, knowing you, 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.840 I thought you were gonna unleash on Biden sloppy withdrawal 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.640 from Afghanistan. But that was a good one. God, let's 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.240 get to talking more football, shall we. Let's bring in 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:39.800 our guest, Shane Verreeen, former NFL running back with the 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.560 New York Giants and the New England Patriots, where he 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.880 became a Super Bowl champ with his eleven catch performance 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.560 against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl. For I always 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.280 have to look up the Roman numerals and google. If 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.280 I'm gonna be honest, you know that that's forty nine. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.480 Shane Maren is here, Shane, how are you. I'm doing fantastic. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.840 How are you guys? We're good. Does that intro ever 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.760 get old when you hear Super Bowl champ Like, what 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.800 comes to mind? Does a player come to mind a moment? Yeah, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.000 it doesn't really get old because a lot of the times, 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.879 you know, I don't really think about it until somebody 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.320 says it. You know, if anything comes to mind, it's 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.040 just surrounding that game is It's just the feeling afterwards. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.520 You know, it's one of the best feelings in the world. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.320 You know, It's like I was trying to compare it 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.320 to something else, but like when you when you set 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.520 a goal for yourself and then you reach that goal, 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.240 sometimes it's not as fulfilling as you would expect it 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.240 to be. But like if fulfilled every nooking cranny that 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.560 you could think of winning the Super Bowl and just 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.440 the feeling being able to share with my family and 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.120 everything like that. So that's the first thing that comes 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.719 to mind, is just how just how fulfilled it and 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.440 just how accomplished it felt to be able to win 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.680 that game. All right, if you were to put him 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.960 in order, getting married, having a kid, winning a super Bowl, 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.760 what comes first? It's a trap. Chain own answer, it's 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.040 a trap. Yeah, yeah, how are you gonna do this? 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:10.440 All right? Um, let's say having a baby, super Bowl, 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.200 getting married, Yeah, super Bowl third. The only reason being 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.200 married getting married would be last is I would whether 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.080 I'm married or not, I would still be with my 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.000 wife or whoever I was with you, so you know, 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.680 but having the baby is life changing. And the super 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.160 Bowl was was pretty awesome. You know, after you win 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.879 a super Bowl or a Stanley Cup or you know, 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.280 any performance you get like a victory lap. For a year, 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.000 you do all kind of things. You're gonna meet all 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.639 kinds of cool people, go on all these shows. What 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:46.240 was the coolest moment or a person you met? Okay, 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.440 this is this is actually how funny? So the parade 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:53.199 was absolutely phenomenal. I had a great time. But I'm 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.760 from from like just outside of Los Angeles, so I 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.160 would always go back to that area to work out 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.399 and training to the offseason, and you know, but I 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.000 take like a month off before I get back into it. 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.159 And me and a couple of buddies we were at 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.080 this um this party or this club in l A 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:14.359 and Te Payne was performing and after he was done, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.040 a couple of us went over and like introduced ourselves 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.720 and met him and stuff and lo and behold me 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.520 and my me me. It was with Garrett Blunt. We 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.240 had a dance battle against Te Payne and his boy 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.800 that was there, and they smoked us. It wasn't like 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:37.680 it wasn't even close. And I'll never forget, thank god, 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.200 thank god. It was embarrassing because I feel like I 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.760 feel like I can hold my own on the dance floor. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.480 But they were pop locking and doing like all types 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.080 of athletic and inflexible moves that I don't have in 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.560 my repertoire. And uh, that was that was one of 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.679 the well, that was a very very funny moment and 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.080 it was it was cool. I can't believe I just 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:02.800 remembered that, but yeah, out of the blue. Yeah, Shane, 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.880 let me ask you a question that Super Bowl game, 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.080 just to go back for a second again, unbelievable game, 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.000 definitely in my opinion, m VP of that game, do 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.760 you think the NFL should have two awards, one first 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.280 quarterback and one for another player. I can't remember the 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.159 last time a quarterback didn't win Super Bowl, m v P, 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.840 or m VP of the season. It's getting ridiculous. There's 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.480 Defensive Player of the Year, but shouldn't another player gets 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.439 some love and some recognition that was your game. You 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.200 need another trophy? You know, running backs never get there? 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.560 Just do you know? Ever ever since, ever since the 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.720 NFL turned into a passing first league, running backs and 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:41.600 just we kind of pushed to the side, both in 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.960 contracts and a notoriety. In my opinion, we gotta fight back. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.159 I need to start a running back coalition and we 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.440 need to we need to start standing up, start picking 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:55.000 outside of games. But yeah, I know it's look, that 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.199 would have been cool, but that wasn't That wasn't the 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.080 goal of the game for me. Getting the win is 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.840 all I really cared about. Whether I had one, like 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.280 one touch or fifty touches, I didn't, It didn't matter. 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.280 I just wanted to win the game more than anything. 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.240 So all that other stuff, you know, it happens, and 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.280 if you're lucky enough to be selected for the m 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:18.520 v P, then cool. But it's Okay, I'm all right, 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.040 very humble answer. Almost as humble when you lost the 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:26.840 dance competition. That's pretty good. We always hear about the 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.000 Patriot Way, and obviously Tom Brady kind of threw a 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.760 wrench in that when he started promoting TV twelve and 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.639 the TV method all that. But when you were with 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:39.680 the Patriots, what's an example of a daily thing that 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.000 encompasses the Patriot Way? Because we always just hear it. 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:46.879 Give us an example. Um, you know it sounds simple, 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.720 but every every player on the team, all sixty four 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.639 guys showing up at eight am on time or early, yeah, 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.440 show enough to treatments because our first team meeting would 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.040 be at eight, so treatments would start at seven. So 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.679 every like showing up to treatments on time, Like you 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.639 get there at seven fifteen. The treatment room is like 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.359 the training room is full, is packed, like everybody's working 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.200
