Speaker 1: of Busting with the Boys. This is episode three hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty A. We had a bigger one for you today.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones comes in on the bus. The energy that
Speaker 1: this individual has is one of one. Talk about a
Speaker 1: story getting drafted by the Patriots, a transition taking over
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady, getting tossed around the league a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then finding home in San Francisco where he's wanted
Speaker 1: the entire time. This is an incredible interview. This I
Speaker 1: just I'm just letting you know if you watch this,
Speaker 1: if you don't know this guy and you listen to
Speaker 1: this episode, he's going to be everyone's favorite quarterback at
Speaker 1: the end of this episode. That is how much energy,
Speaker 1: how much charisma, how much funny it has because he
Speaker 1: got one of those infectious laughs. But another thing that
Speaker 1: we all should love is our presenting sponsor, Bust with
Speaker 1: the Boys is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook, America's number one
Speaker 1: sports book. Oh you're clapping, clump, you're clapping. Yeah, even
Speaker 1: though he's a clapping there, I bet you're hit me
Speaker 1: with the time I thot you hit me at a
Speaker 1: time for so I was like, oh, oh, something must
Speaker 1: have happened. There's one thing we know is that everybody
Speaker 1: loves big fights. On July eleventh, boys don't get goosebumps.
Speaker 1: Two bat when I say this. On July eleventh, one
Speaker 1: of the biggest names in sports is back when Connor
Speaker 1: McGregor steps into the octagon to take on Max Holloway.

Speaker 1: we're gonna do callbacks, we're gonna do tear talk. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. But
Speaker 1: I want to stick on McGregor Holloway. I want to
Speaker 1: stick on McGregor Holloway for just a second. JP Hovey,
Speaker 1: Jack McPherson. You two are coming with me to Vegas
Speaker 1: this weekend. We're leaving Thursday. We're flying back Saturday night.
Speaker 1: Right after the fight. By I gotta pray to God.
Speaker 1: My wife doesn't give birth. I gotta pray to God.
Speaker 1: And just so you know, Oh Dale, how could you possibly?
Speaker 1: My wife wants me to go. She said you should go.
Speaker 1: She said, McGregor's fighting, this might be his last fight.
Speaker 1: You need to go to this. Do I feel bad? Yes?
Speaker 1: Am I going anyway? Yes? Now, Jack, we were talking
Speaker 1: about this just before we got on the bus, about
Speaker 1: what is the best bet to place for us, cause
Speaker 1: our hearts are sitting here and yeah, we would all
Speaker 1: love the story of like McGregor. We grew up watching
Speaker 1: him his insane the way he speaks, talking about manifesting things,
Speaker 1: bringing energy to things, the work ethic, how he's become
Speaker 1: obsessed with the game and he's lost his mind to
Speaker 1: the game, all those beautiful things, and then it gets
Speaker 1: really turbulent for him. Now he's coming back, he's doing
Speaker 1: a bunch of media press and it sounds like we're
Speaker 1: seeing the old McGregor. So my heart goes to, wouldn't
Speaker 1: it be something if Connor McGregor comes in here and
Speaker 1: does what we haven't seen in over six years since
Speaker 1: he stepped into the octagon. It's it's been so long
Speaker 1: to where my football brain is. I've been out of
Speaker 1: the league for three years, and I couldn't imagine putting
Speaker 1: pads on the callous that takes place, the endurance, the physicality,
Speaker 1: the understanding where you're hands go, all of those things
Speaker 1: on a much smaller scale. Because this guy's got a
Speaker 1: step on the biggest stage in the fighting world, and
Speaker 1: he's stepping across the stage from a guy who is
Speaker 1: arguably the best boxer in the history of the UFC.
Speaker 1: He's got the iconic last ten seconds with Gaetchee who
Speaker 1: just won Freedom two fifty, pointing to the middle of
Speaker 1: the octagon and just absolutely putting him out after he's
Speaker 1: up and winning, He's got the I'm the best boxer
Speaker 1: in the UFC while he's dodging punches from an individual
Speaker 1: and piecing a dude up while not looking at him like,
Speaker 1: we got a cat that can easily dismantle Conor McGregor
Speaker 1: or anybody steps in the octagon with him. So I
Speaker 1: say all that to say, where is the best bet
Speaker 1: for you, me and loved ones of all ages above
Speaker 1: the age of eight team, and that is or twenty
Speaker 1: one to twenty one or eighteen twenty one twenty one.
Speaker 1: I think it's under two and a half rounds. I
Speaker 1: think that is the best solo bet you can make
Speaker 1: on this. I don't see the gas tank staying with Connor.
Speaker 1: I think both of them are precision punchers and can
Speaker 1: just piece somebody at one time. And for me, it's like,
Speaker 1: if Max wins, what a legacy run for Max? If
Speaker 1: Connor wins, holy shit. Though they're in a twilight zone,
Speaker 1: a parallel universe, the world is broken, right, So my
Speaker 1: heart's in two separate places, and I know, like my
Speaker 1: emotions will go towards the Connor a little bit more.
Speaker 1: So why not just be like, Hey, this thing's gonna
Speaker 1: get finished in two and a half. Our thoughts, gentlemen.
Speaker 7: Over under I fante sportsbook under two and a half
Speaker 7: rounds minus one thirty over two and a half plus
Speaker 7: one oh four.
Speaker 1: That's sound, and that sounds exactly right because they know, yeah,
Speaker 1: minus one thirty, you put a responsible bag on that,
Speaker 1: and you just go into the fight thinking, yeah, hope
Speaker 1: this is a quick one. Hope, this is a quick one.
Speaker 1: What do we think? Oh, clump, you got something to say?
Speaker 6: I got one that I'm just I'm feeling good about, Okay.
Speaker 6: Connor McGregor by t Ko Ko Love. I think Max
Speaker 6: Holloway is for.
Speaker 1: Sure a sprinkle bet.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is a it's a sprinkle bet, and it's
Speaker 6: also a This is again I love Max Holloway, but
Speaker 6: this is a for best thing for the sport would
Speaker 6: be a Connor McGregor knockout. He gets on the mic
Speaker 6: and it's it's back.
Speaker 3: And then we need it.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, like a month ago, if you were
Speaker 1: to bring that conclusion or that happening to me, like
Speaker 1: there's no shot. Conor McGregor is beating Max Holloway. But
Speaker 1: then I'm in Washington, DC just a few weeks ago
Speaker 1: and it's Justin Gaechee versus t Pooria, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: there's zero shot in hell that Justin Getchee is going
Speaker 1: to beat to Poia. The swagger, the aura, the way
Speaker 1: he comes in the amount of striking, how well he
Speaker 1: is good at striking, like he just has the energy
Speaker 1: about him. There's no shot. And then we watched Geigee
Speaker 1: absolutely dismantle to Pooria. So like, I love that. I
Speaker 1: don't love that with a responsible bag. I love that
Speaker 1: with JP said with a little sprinkle, like I'm at
Speaker 1: my favorite ice cream place, Like if you want any
Speaker 1: toppings on there, It's like, oh yeah, go ahead, give
Speaker 1: me some sprinkles on that. That's what I want. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: give me the usual. But I'm talking about the bulk.
Speaker 1: The bulk to me is under two and a half.
Speaker 4: I'm with you on that because I mean, my heart
Speaker 4: is in it for McGregor as much as anybody else is.
Speaker 4: But I also love Max, Yeah, and have love Max
Speaker 4: for a long time, and he Max is one of
Speaker 4: the greatest fighters in UFC history and shout out to
Speaker 4: Connor McGregor. I'm sure he could have picked any fighter
Speaker 4: to fight in his comeback, and he chose the toughest
Speaker 4: competition and unfortunately Max, Yeah, I don't know, McGregor will
Speaker 4: have to knock him out. If not, Max might tournaments
Speaker 4: a little bit of a punching back, just because that
Speaker 4: callous could be gone. In the speed of the game,
Speaker 4: I feel like it takes a little bit to get
Speaker 4: used to and in fighting, there's not much that much
Speaker 4: time to get used to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder like I wish I knew more about
Speaker 1: the game in the sense of, like, how do how
Speaker 1: does the training look on Connor's side? Like Max has
Speaker 1: been in fights, he has the callous, He knows the
Speaker 1: feeling of taking a punch, that feeling for Connor's going away.
Speaker 1: Is he maybe get a little more rough in his
Speaker 1: training to feel little something, get that jaw soreness, that
Speaker 1: next sordness when he gets a little bit of whiplash.
Speaker 1: How is that looking for him? The answers I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna get right, but it's still just a It's a
Speaker 1: fascinating thought process because if Connor McGregor comes in and
Speaker 1: does what we kind of believe will not happen.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: It changes our thought process, not only about him, but
Speaker 1: the entire game itself where guys can step away and
Speaker 1: come back. Now we're having conversations about John Jones, is
Speaker 1: he gonna come back when you know, people talk about
Speaker 1: his hips being destroyed and he won't show up, with
Speaker 1: thinking like maybe he comes back in four or five years,
Speaker 1: Like what is the timeline for these guys to actually
Speaker 1: take a leave of absence, come back and still be
Speaker 1: as dominant as they once were in their prime. It's
Speaker 1: just it's incredibly fascinating. I am so glad that we
Speaker 1: are going to be able to go see this live.
Speaker 1: The first UFC fighter I ever went to was McGregor Diaz,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't even privy to the one he lost.
Speaker 1: It was right after Holly Holme took out Ronda Rousey,
Speaker 1: and Holly Holme got beat by a man in Nunia's
Speaker 1: I think, I don't think it was a man, unas,
Speaker 1: but she loses. So she just beat Ronda Rousey and
Speaker 1: this is her next fight, so she's like the next
Speaker 1: up and coming woman UFC fighter star I don't know
Speaker 1: a whole lot about it. Richie and Needle, of all people,
Speaker 1: is putting me on to this game. And the first
Speaker 1: thing he sends me is a YouTube link of just
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor quotes, and I'm like, oh, this is the guy.
Speaker 1: So ten years later we're gonna be sitting there at
Speaker 1: T Mobile Arena watching it all go down. It's unbelievable, man.
Speaker 4: And on the in the prelims, there's a massive fan
Speaker 4: of the show. Kai Kai boy, he's uh, I think
Speaker 4: he's the first fight of the night. So he's fired
Speaker 4: up that the boys will be in Vegas as well.
Speaker 5: Are we doing?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna do the theo ofv on technique where
Speaker 1: we just let's just go to the beginning part be
Speaker 1: the first ones in the stands.
Speaker 4: I would love to because I know for Kayle, like
Speaker 4: Kai gifted his coach a bunch of uh for the
Speaker 4: a bunch of busting for the July merch. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: he posted up, he posted a video give it to
Speaker 4: him in the octagon putting it on, and uh, I
Speaker 4: think it for that reason it would be sick to
Speaker 4: go show love too.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's a world and it's clearly it's
Speaker 1: Monday when we're shooting this. If there's a world where
Speaker 1: we can bring a bunch of stuff with us, be
Speaker 1: it that first prelim fight. And if he wins, like
Speaker 1: get away to hey, give this to all your boys,
Speaker 1: that would be like a busting gift box or.
Speaker 3: Something like that.
Speaker 1: That would be awesome.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at his betting line. We should all responsibly
Speaker 5: plus two fifty money line. Let's go to I love that.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a whole bowl of sprinkles on that one. Dude,
Speaker 1: I might have to go the whole thing. That's where
Speaker 1: Now my heart's getting in too much.
Speaker 5: Shut up, kai Usa two fifty two. It's the stars
Speaker 5: are aligning.
Speaker 1: Let's see let me see.
Speaker 4: A fun So is he kicking it off for Max Holloway.
Speaker 4: It's a big, big night for the Islands, Big.
Speaker 1: Nights for the Islands, and this is this guy's a
Speaker 1: busting fan.
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, dude, he's awesome. Let me take a little
Speaker 4: crazy journey too, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy he's got the tribal on there. God,
Speaker 1: I hope you. I bet he comes out to a
Speaker 1: six song too.
Speaker 6: I'm sure his weight cut will not be fun, but
Speaker 6: we got you guys got to try to connect with
Speaker 6: him if if he's doing good.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: If if if, because I love that. I love the
Speaker 1: idea of going early off. We've talked about it kind
Speaker 1: of every time since the deal of like going to
Speaker 1: the pre and Saturday is kind of like just a
Speaker 1: wait and chill kind of day. So I'm down to
Speaker 1: go early to those fights. Go sit in there, watch
Speaker 1: him do his thing. Maybe, hey, listen, if he's that
Speaker 1: big of a fan of the hill, like, maybe we
Speaker 1: go in after the fight see the boy like like
Speaker 1: like he's gonna cement himself. Hey, let us say there's
Speaker 1: a coat tail over there. You might if we jump
Speaker 1: on that real quick. Let's go in and jump on
Speaker 1: that real quick.
Speaker 6: Anyway, And if he's a big fan, you know, ask
Speaker 6: for a lot after he wins. Maybe if you guys
Speaker 6: are actually sitting there, shout out to the boys, maybe
Speaker 6: a little little shout.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, I mean stuff, dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: See if he's first fight of the night, and if
Speaker 4: we're there like those guys see everybody, Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're with that. And also too that you
Speaker 1: know how they do the seats, like I'll have my
Speaker 1: little two up front, and then it'll be like four
Speaker 1: of us kind of back. I want to figure out, Hey,
Speaker 1: for the prelims, do you mind me and my boys
Speaker 1: just shit front. No one's gonna be there, Moe. See
Speaker 1: if we just get up there and kind of just
Speaker 1: sit and chill, just sit in Mark Wahlberg's seat for
Speaker 1: just a.
Speaker 3: Minute, just a moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know you guys got security and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, but this is the first prelim fighting, not
Speaker 1: a whole lot cats are gonna be there. To the
Speaker 1: main Let's get into a couple of callbacks from the
Speaker 1: last episode that took place. This is Jeffrey Perry one
Speaker 1: five five to five Great pod Tray's a funny cat.
Speaker 1: A zip spas out by Taylor was hilarious. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to take that. I'll say this, people need
Speaker 1: to try zips. I didn't know until after the show
Speaker 1: that Trey McBride knew about my love for zips and
Speaker 1: wanted to get me a clump being a thinking about
Speaker 1: content and content only knew this information and told me
Speaker 1: after we got to get him to his zips. Dude,
Speaker 1: we gotta get Jeremiah Love Carson Beck Trey McBride, we
Speaker 1: gotta go to Arizona and just have a round table
Speaker 1: zips hangout all of us and just get some wings in,
Speaker 1: get them for Kasha and truly sit there and just
Speaker 1: I'll just sit at the head of the table watch
Speaker 1: everybody and be like, give me your true opinion at
Speaker 1: the end. Because the way they talked about, the way
Speaker 1: Tredy talked about was like it was a little disrespectful.
Speaker 2: I went on for it.
Speaker 1: So he said the wings were okay, he said, I
Speaker 1: believe he used a miss Carsley. He said, they's nothing
Speaker 1: to call it right home about.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he did say that, which is jp.
Speaker 3: You're the wing.
Speaker 1: Guy and it's crazy and you've had it what years
Speaker 1: ago plural years ago? Changed though, No, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: since that's not the rut I was. That's not the
Speaker 1: right I was hoping you'd take when I was bringing
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 2: Tanner brings some with them this weekend.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be as good. They're never as good.
Speaker 1: They're never as good.
Speaker 8: Shout out Tannel another spot that has good wings that
Speaker 8: is also another one of your favorite spots, mister spots
Speaker 8: in an arbor. I think a bunch of us keep
Speaker 8: getting tagged in in Twitter. I don't know if they're
Speaker 8: in need of some help.
Speaker 1: No, So Keith is selling Keith Keith is the owner
Speaker 1: of mister Spots. He I saw him in Detroit when
Speaker 1: I went up for that signing and he was up
Speaker 1: there with Scotty shout out the boys. He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: selling it. He's getting away from it, uh and is
Speaker 1: doing their own thing right now. As far as like
Speaker 1: how the city works and all that, that's their business
Speaker 1: then of ours. But he wants to keep it mister Spot.
Speaker 1: He wants to sell it. He's just trying to. I
Speaker 1: think he's he's on very for the next chapter in life.
Speaker 1: But the idea is, whoever buys it is going to
Speaker 1: keep mister Spots and happy to be its thing. Is
Speaker 1: that a journey that I want to take? No, it's not.
Speaker 1: I want to be the guy that goes and enjoys it.
Speaker 1: I don't want a guy looking at, you know, profit
Speaker 1: loss statements every single month and wondering, why, hey, why
Speaker 1: is mister Spots not doing as well as we want
Speaker 1: it to do. When we got to focus on this,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about putting a bag on. But Gregor Holloway
Speaker 1: under two and a half.
Speaker 8: You know that, Dave lawan venture that.
Speaker 1: Could be that might be the best idea you've ever had.
Speaker 1: I go to Dave and I say, I'll get it,
Speaker 1: you run it. Dave would do that.
Speaker 2: He trust him? Would you trust him?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dave's Dave's Would you trust him in ann arbor?

Speaker 1: torches and the lake vibes can't be beat with some
Speaker 1: rowdy boys and a few cold bud lights. Let's go boys. Listen.
Speaker 1: We talked about it last week, the above ground pool.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the biggest flex you can have.
Speaker 1: On July fourth and I love to say that's my
Speaker 1: own original thought. I want to give a big shout
Speaker 1: to o FB, the Okanagan f Boys up in Canada.
Speaker 1: These guys are all about Dylan. Especially, these are all
Speaker 1: about their above ground pools. They're they more like stick
Speaker 1: their nose up towards in ground pools like those are not.
Speaker 1: That's like I'm trying to flex on people. The above
Speaker 1: ground pools is where everything kind of go down. And
Speaker 1: so if you had a Fourth of July weekend with
Speaker 1: an above ground pool, shout out to you and everybody
Speaker 1: that you know enjoyed it, because that is as top
Speaker 1: tier as possible we can get. When it comes to
Speaker 1: that being said, how was how was the Fourth of July?
Speaker 8: Boys?
Speaker 1: We enjoy it?
Speaker 3: Good time?
Speaker 1: It was amazing.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I had a almost a perfect Saturday.
Speaker 1: Almost a perfect Saturday. What was the Yeah, yeah, we
Speaker 1: got to know about that.
Speaker 2: The hole back is truly just like you never know
Speaker 2: what could happen next year?
Speaker 1: Amen, damn telling me what it was just a nice like, uh,
Speaker 1: pay me a picture, dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's the greatest part. It was just
Speaker 4: all the simple pleasures of America wrapped in one day.
Speaker 4: So it was nothing extravagant. We got up early, we
Speaker 4: hit a little walk in the morning, but then we
Speaker 4: went to float the river, to float the Harpeth River,
Speaker 4: and it was We did the short one, so it
Speaker 4: probably only took about two hours, which is perfect. You know,
Speaker 4: everybody ties up their tubes. You got the few friends
Speaker 4: that are always more prepared than the others. They got
Speaker 4: the cooler tube that just floats in itself, put ice
Speaker 4: in it, tie it on. Perfect weather like it's been
Speaker 4: extremely hot, which we love. But it was like a
Speaker 4: little bit of a notch down on Saturday, especially from
Speaker 4: like ten thirty to twelve thirty. Yeah, and that's when
Speaker 4: we were out there and you know, you're out there
Speaker 4: in the sticks, like you're out there in Pigram.
Speaker 2: So you come back.
Speaker 4: We stop at this tiny little cafe, grab some grab
Speaker 4: some lunch, go to the apartment pool for a little bit,
Speaker 4: maybe an hour hour and a half. Then we go
Speaker 4: over to our friend Shout out Carter. This guy is
Speaker 4: the greatest host of all time. He loves cooking. Okay,
Speaker 4: he walks around I know, I know.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, he keeps heeling your truth, hearing truth.
Speaker 4: He walks around with like the things that you would
Speaker 4: take somebody's order with a restaurant. He's making burgers, all right.
Speaker 4: He's got everybody's name written down. This at least fifteen
Speaker 4: to twenty burgers. Everybody's name written down.
Speaker 1: JP.
Speaker 4: What do you want, what topics you want, how you
Speaker 4: want it made? Gives you the full thing. Then your order,
Speaker 4: your order is made to order comes out. He delivers
Speaker 4: it to you as you're standing around. They got the
Speaker 4: community cooler going. Then we go walk over to I
Speaker 4: believe maybe we're even where Jack plays kickball.
Speaker 1: In his league, Frederick Douglas Park.
Speaker 2: Frederick Douglass.
Speaker 4: Is it right across from tournament truck and East, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: And we watched the Nashville fireworks from there, so we
Speaker 4: saw it from the back angle. But great, greatest fireworks
Speaker 4: show in the country. Really tell how much they spent.
Speaker 8: Yeas twenty four million this year and just fireworks.
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
Speaker 1: First off, I learned a lot of things. One, the
Speaker 1: hosting ability of your boy is incredible. How many people
Speaker 1: are at the house at least twenty, I would say,
Speaker 1: And he went around to every single individual made to
Speaker 1: order their own burger. Yes, now I take back even
Speaker 1: the disgust ahead of my face at the host that
Speaker 1: he went on A that's a completely different.
Speaker 4: Guy own special Burger sauce. He's like, you want the
Speaker 4: special Burger sauce. Of course, I need to have samples.
Speaker 4: Hips way we can get you a sample.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to get a sample at Burger Sauce
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you what burger burgers do.
Speaker 9: Hit.
Speaker 1: I love that boys so overall grade Fourth of July yea,
Speaker 1: but okay, wouldn't be a mitched if all the people
Speaker 1: have had to happen to that's the one. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that everybody enjoyed their Fourth of July on us soil,
Speaker 1: had a great time. Two hundred and fifty years of dominance.
Speaker 1: Come on, isn't there another callback for us to talk
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if flu can scroll down. I'm not
Speaker 7: sure if that was in the callbacks. But we are
Speaker 7: kind of on the topic. We're on the topic of
Speaker 7: Fourth of July.
Speaker 1: Now listen, the last three years, so America is what
Speaker 1: forty seven forty eight forty ninth birthday, two hundred and
Speaker 1: forty seven forty eight forty ninth birthday I have been
Speaker 1: in Canada, am I upset about that. No, you guys
Speaker 1: need to get up to Canada in the summertime. It's absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1: I'm missing fireworks and I missed being on US soil.
Speaker 1: But all good. I'm a patriot. I love my country.
Speaker 1: I love being a part of America. I feel lucky
Speaker 1: to be a part of it now. Last year and
Speaker 1: it didn't even crossed my mind last year. Will Compton,
Speaker 1: that's a very choice words for not only myself, but
Speaker 1: also Jack McPherson, who was in Greece for a wedding.
Speaker 7: I believe, correct, correct, I was actually traveling back during
Speaker 7: the fourth during.
Speaker 1: That's, yeah, not the best time to travel. He goes
Speaker 1: and says all these things about how I would never
Speaker 1: find myself traveling on America's birthday. Fast forward one year later,
Speaker 1: How quickly the tables have turned. Will Compton is in
Speaker 1: some part of Italy, all right, who was on, by
Speaker 1: the way, the bad guy team in World War Two.
Speaker 1: They're on the bad guy team that we had to
Speaker 1: end up winning that one, And he's enjoying the apps
Speaker 1: or whatever he's doing where on the fourth I sent
Speaker 1: a text to Will saying, hey, buddy, how's it out there?
Speaker 1: Hope you're having a good fourth I know how lonely
Speaker 1: it can feel to be on you know, foreign soil
Speaker 1: during America's birthday. I'm letting you know I'm looking out
Speaker 1: for you, and I love you, and I want you
Speaker 1: to know everything's all right. He starts going, Hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I much rather be in Bonta, Missouri. So I'm thinking
Speaker 1: we're having an I'm being there once again, as we
Speaker 1: can show with receipts, Taylor Lawan is being there for
Speaker 1: Will Compton, and I'm feeling good about once again sticking
Speaker 1: up for my boy, love it on him when I
Speaker 1: feel like he might be having a difficult time. I
Speaker 1: come in this morning and you boys play this clip
Speaker 1: for me of Will Compton just kind of going at
Speaker 1: us a little bit. Jack.
Speaker 3: I you know, I yeah, I personally I couldn't imagine
Speaker 3: not celebrating America on the fourth of July in America.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when when people say negative things like that,
Speaker 1: they're just projecting their own insecurities on themselves out to
Speaker 1: the world. Correct And so maybe Will's going through a
Speaker 1: tough time in that moment, maybe something he was going
Speaker 1: through his head. I'm sure if we were able to
Speaker 1: sit down with him after doing the thing he said
Speaker 1: he would never do. He would sit there with us
Speaker 1: and he would admit his faults, you know, hopefully all good,
Speaker 1: all good.
Speaker 2: It's also about how you return.
Speaker 4: Like when Jack came back last year, he put up
Speaker 4: the American flag, he started grilling, and it was like
Speaker 4: it was a it was an honorable return. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: now we got to see if Will is going to
Speaker 4: make an honorable return, right right, we yes, it.
Speaker 2: Might require a little bit too much effort.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes that boy in effort, right, you know,
Speaker 1: fresh off the vacation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got five new shows to watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, he probably is watching five new shows right
Speaker 1: now as we're sitting here talking speaking of this callback
Speaker 1: comes from Fox fifty one seventy seven. GBR. Will should
Speaker 1: have to watch Entourage for his fantasy football punishment in
Speaker 1: the stream room on stream with Matt hashtag clean take.
Speaker 1: That's the Campbetash Foods screen is clean take Campetash Foods
Speaker 1: clean take by Foxy Boy. There here here's once again.
Speaker 1: Right we're sitting in July. We are nine weeks away
Speaker 1: from college football Saturday. Will Compton and Matt Malone still
Speaker 1: have not done their fantasy football punishment, which they agreed to.
Speaker 3: And I know his.
Speaker 1: Argument as well. There wasn't a defined There was always
Speaker 1: a defined twenty four hour stream, right, that was always
Speaker 1: a fine thing, and he still hasn't had it. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to sit here and do what Will did
Speaker 1: last year and turn this into a negative show about
Speaker 1: my co host. Right, Will knows what he has to
Speaker 1: work on. I'm going to take the high road and
Speaker 1: just know that you got to follow through if people
Speaker 1: are gonna believe your word. And at this point, Matt
Speaker 1: Malonea and Will Compton have not followed through on that
Speaker 1: entourage as well. And I know, Jemmy Clemp, you hold
Speaker 1: that closer to your heart than anybody else when it
Speaker 1: comes to watching that show. My fear is where Will's
Speaker 1: at in his life. He's not gonna enjoy the show
Speaker 1: as much as we all did when we were young guns,
Speaker 1: young bulls trying to become Vinnie, Chase and the Boys.
Speaker 1: At one point All Good still got to watch the
Speaker 1: show for nothing more than Ari Gold.
Speaker 5: I've been playing that in my head.
Speaker 6: I don't know what would be worse Will never watching
Speaker 6: it or him watching it and then being like it
Speaker 6: was Okay, I think that would crush me more than
Speaker 6: him not watching it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think we just have the insurance policy
Speaker 1: of just knowing Will's thirty six right about to be
Speaker 1: thirty seven, about to be if every night at thirty
Speaker 1: seventh damn, I'm sorry, sorry about that, So anymore callbackspoils
Speaker 1: before we move on.
Speaker 7: We are running into an issue with our fantasy football
Speaker 7: league that if we let this punishment go unnoticed, then
Speaker 7: it's a slippery slope. The integrity of our league is
Speaker 7: in jeopardy, and we now move into a new season
Speaker 7: where the following loser will then look back and go, well,
Speaker 7: Will and Matt didn't do their punishment. This really doesn't
Speaker 7: mean much. I Will has time, but if we get
Speaker 7: there a week one of the NFL season starting, we
Speaker 7: don't really have much to stand on as a league.
Speaker 7: So I think we need to hold him accountable. But
Speaker 7: in a positive way.
Speaker 1: I think that's a great point. Jack, think you made
Speaker 1: a fantastic point there. Here's what I'll say to that.
Speaker 1: We can't control what Matt malonea Will Compton do, but
Speaker 1: as we sit here, all individuals that take part in
Speaker 1: the fantasy football league, we should know and have our
Speaker 1: own you know, courage, our own pride who we are
Speaker 1: as men, knowing that just because somebody didn't do it
Speaker 1: before me doesn't mean I shouldn't do it if it
Speaker 1: falls upon my shoulders to handle those things. So let's
Speaker 1: just say I know I've won three in a row,
Speaker 1: so it's very unlikely. But let's say I get last
Speaker 1: in the fantasy football league this year. I'm going to
Speaker 1: take it upon myself. Coop Comstock as well, we will
Speaker 1: take it upon ourselves to make sure that punishment is
Speaker 1: fulfilled within the first quarter of the new year. And
Speaker 1: that's that's all I can say for me, Right, I
Speaker 1: can't force another man. Right, I can lead a horse
Speaker 1: to water, but I can't make him drink. And that's
Speaker 1: where we have to, unfortunately sit. What is the standard
Speaker 1: going to be? And if somebody else is gonna set it,
Speaker 1: don't let that become your new standard. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: be nasty about it, right, I think he just leave
Speaker 1: it at that, Just leave it at that, you know
Speaker 1: it is what it is.
Speaker 2: Maybe he could do it on the ripping channel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no bad ideas and a brainst no bad.
Speaker 2: Idea streaming on there. Maybe he you know, kind of
Speaker 2: sets off that channel with the twenty four hours stream.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe it's like if he pulls like a downtown
Speaker 6: or something, it kind of cuts the time and like
Speaker 6: make rewards for you.
Speaker 1: Just get him a bunch of don responds.
Speaker 2: They'll go as this first stream on that channel is
Speaker 2: the dude.
Speaker 1: The first stream of that channel is me in a
Speaker 1: thousand packs of ascended heroes. And I'm not leaving the
Speaker 1: chair until I find the uh that Pikachu that treat
Speaker 1: the Trea Kachu. But I do love the idea of
Speaker 1: will cop that happened to do one of the first
Speaker 1: streams of Rippled with the boys. Uh C j Abbis says,
Speaker 1: you guys tease Colston Loveland pod hard last week where
Speaker 1: that though, but he gets coming. I can tell you
Speaker 1: that it is on its way. Just an absolute rookie female,
Speaker 1: a femom tenth overall pick by the Chicago Bears, Michigan
Speaker 1: man himself national champion. He was on the bus. He
Speaker 1: will be on the bus this week. He is not
Speaker 1: on the bus. Possibly next week. Clumb No, yes, next week,
Speaker 1: next week and Loveland next week a week from today,
Speaker 1: a week from week from today. Radiology Tech nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: says in Nursing Homes, guys watch football and think it's live.
Speaker 1: It's just a mindset. Watching games from the nineties takes
Speaker 1: me back. It's like time travel. Great comment, clean Take,
Speaker 1: clean take that the Kevin Sasher Foods clean take like
Speaker 1: just put a game on and then way the love
Speaker 1: of football, because that's where the negativeness comes from. We
Speaker 1: talked about this last week. Sherman Young brot up a
Speaker 1: good point. People are just upset that football isn't here.
Speaker 1: Any negativity you're feeling around your house, in the community.
Speaker 1: Some guy cuts you off on the highway, someone runs
Speaker 1: a red light and you almost get in a car, actually,
Speaker 1: anything like that. They're just mad that football is not
Speaker 1: back yet, and it'll be back in nine Saturdays from
Speaker 1: now onward. I love that. That's Oliver clean Takes. Let's
Speaker 1: get into the nitty gritty of this podcast. The big
Speaker 1: thing that took place this weekend. Obviously, America's birthday is
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. The next biggest thing is when Rebelawan
Speaker 1: turned nine, nine years old. Almost dude, it is terrifying
Speaker 1: as a father. I'll say this as as a dad
Speaker 1: of a nine year old I could not. I could
Speaker 1: not be more proud of my oldest daughter and the
Speaker 1: woman she is becoming. I am over the moon happy
Speaker 1: of like the product that she is right now, as
Speaker 1: far as her empathy for people, her insight, She's wise
Speaker 1: me on her years. In a lot of ways, there's
Speaker 1: always things to work on, but where she stands right now,
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of her. As a father looking at
Speaker 1: her daughter, I'm not gonna say any more than it,
Speaker 1: because if I do, I'm just gonna get emotional and
Speaker 1: I don't want This is not that show today, turning ten.
Speaker 3: I hate that.
Speaker 1: I absolutely I hate it because I just I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be my little See, here we go, we're
Speaker 1: already talking about it. We're gonna keep it pushing forward.

Speaker 1: intimate wedding, all right, an intimate wedding. We're only they're

Speaker 1: into the weekend, I thought, oh, good, didn't get an invite.
Speaker 1: Checked my AOL account reactivated that no invite in there.
Speaker 1: And I was just making sure because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, when it comes to weddings, I try
Speaker 1: to have a stance. I don't make it about yourself,
Speaker 1: don't try to be the center of attention, which is
Speaker 1: a very different thing for me to do. So I
Speaker 1: just kind of sit back and I'm like, hey, happy
Speaker 1: for them. You know, Jravis the boy send them a
Speaker 1: shot of a text Saturday night, say congratulations. He hit

Speaker 1: he's been to Beer Olympics, all right, got banged up.
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino was there, and it's like, okay, now I'm

Speaker 4: we look in the mirror, like we where this is

Speaker 1: like we can also point out like why we're taking

Speaker 1: and I saw George Kittle's mom and stepmom there, mother
Speaker 1: in law, dog. They're close, but like, yo, we're boys.
Speaker 1: How I've known you for over ten years. We text
Speaker 1: and call each other, Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 3: How's the family?
Speaker 5: Tell great?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the high road, okay, but I'm just thinking, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm clearly doing something wrong in our friendship, clearly doing
Speaker 1: something wrong.
Speaker 2: You know what are y'all's last messages?
Speaker 6: While he looks I had a big worry though, that
Speaker 6: you guys were invited and you just like missed the
Speaker 6: text or.
Speaker 1: I can definitely see that too.
Speaker 6: There was part of me because I started seeing a
Speaker 6: guest list and I'm thinking, how are you guys not invit?
Speaker 1: Tras right there me sexually text yeah, and also don't
Speaker 1: put that on the show because then the Swifties they'll

Speaker 2: how the invites were sent out?
Speaker 3: I know, I know, like a pigeon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like definitely something.
Speaker 5: That's the only reason I know you guys weren't invited.
Speaker 6: As I break this down in my brain is shout
Speaker 6: out to Lindsay his pr She would have been like,
Speaker 6: you guys are VP or something. She would have said
Speaker 6: something we ask her, should we call her?
Speaker 1: Joe Buck got invited to the Joe Buck said, and

Speaker 1: an incredible announcerent. Love his show, love listening to his
Speaker 1: breakdowns on Mondays and going into the weekends on Fridays awesome.
Speaker 2: He got invited.
Speaker 3: He invited.
Speaker 5: It's tough.
Speaker 1: And also I don't know it was it was Chrissy
Speaker 1: in turned Chris, the one that talks too much. He
Speaker 1: he was breaking down to me that he saw a
Speaker 1: thing about Taylor Swift and when she gets married someday,
Speaker 1: like she wants everybody to go, so there's no cuts
Speaker 1: that have to be made. She told me that as
Speaker 1: I'm here, more like kind of like you know, taking
Speaker 1: the high road over not being invited to this wedding.
Speaker 5: Dude, there's so many.
Speaker 1: People and like and also whoa was it like stadium seating?
Speaker 1: Like people just sit in the stadium in a circle,
Speaker 1: and like they kind of like did like walkouts and
Speaker 1: they just kind of like you're in the center stage.
Speaker 1: How did they. And here's the thing too, is I
Speaker 1: don't even know if I would have gone. Here's because
Speaker 1: because I don't even know if I would have gone.
Speaker 1: So it's all good, it's all good. I probably couldn't
Speaker 1: have made it, you know, I probably couldn't have made it, dude.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, there's clearly a blind spot that
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that is. So it's so clear
Speaker 1: probably to somebody else that's MGK.
Speaker 9: Was it.
Speaker 5: Make sense?
Speaker 1: He's from Cleveland, he's been on the he's been on
Speaker 1: the New Heights Show.

Speaker 1: a rock stary.
Speaker 4: It is going to be a great person to share
Speaker 4: like the same window of birthdays with a younger sister, like,
Speaker 4: especially with that age range.
Speaker 1: Well, Willow, it's a six rightwn Willow is on the
Speaker 1: twenty she's fourteen days away. We have a good little pocketing. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: Lawan birthday month, I'm on the twenty second, right.
Speaker 3: World Cup.
Speaker 5: Shout out to the Lawan's shout out to to Neutral.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Neutral, Shout out to Neutral. I love
Speaker 1: that World Cup going down to the US first Belgium.
Speaker 3: Correct, what's that?
Speaker 2: US first Belgium? And we're at full strength.
Speaker 1: Allegedly now I know, I know forty seven kind of
Speaker 1: jumped in, which might be the reason why we didn't
Speaker 1: invite it. Forty's that's real, usay verse Belgium. We're in
Speaker 1: the round of sixteen right now. There are starting to
Speaker 1: be whispers taking place of can we go and win
Speaker 1: it all? Yes? I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 4: We're about to. It's not gonna be a whisper. We're
Speaker 4: about to start screaming.
Speaker 1: It start screaming on us a.
Speaker 4: Newly updated Mount Rushmore that includes flow ball again, Christian,
Speaker 4: Now give me.
Speaker 1: Give me the breakdown. So we had an individual from
Speaker 1: USA get himself a red card because of a red card,
Speaker 1: he suspended for his next game. Correct, forty seven picks
Speaker 1: up the phone. You guys got to fix this. Suspension
Speaker 1: is upheld or the suspension is suspended. Correct. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm understanding.
Speaker 3: Now is there?
Speaker 1: You're gonna be suspended down the road? Right they play
Speaker 1: It's Monday right now? They played to night at seven pm. Yes,
Speaker 1: that that is also correct. We're gonna put a responsible
Speaker 1: back on USA money. You have to get to Now,
Speaker 1: who's around the corner, Because we're not players, we can look,
Speaker 1: we can look in the future. I know France. I
Speaker 1: think Spain's in there.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say either France or Spain is next.
Speaker 1: We find who's the Who's a Who's the French guy?
Speaker 2: And I gotta see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to see those I need to see
Speaker 1: those could be terrified. But give me the breakdown. You
Speaker 1: were you were another World Cup game.
Speaker 4: I was, I was scouting France. Good on behalf of
Speaker 4: the US good Man cheers, so that we were out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were.
Speaker 4: Spying on them and some takeaways. Probably the best team
Speaker 4: in the in the World Cup. But what they lack
Speaker 4: is passion from the fans. The French fans compared to
Speaker 4: my other experience with Argentinian fans was night and day.
Speaker 4: Nobody does it, probably like the South Americans, except for
Speaker 4: what's about to take place in Seattle tonight when the
Speaker 4: Americans show them exactly what the Twelfth Man looks like
Speaker 4: for soccer. But dude, the French fans majority of the stadium,
Speaker 4: and maybe there wasn't a lot of French people there,
Speaker 4: but majority of the stadium sitting down the whole time
Speaker 4: and bope scores they stand up, no real chance. They
Speaker 4: just lacked the enthusiasm that I feel like it takes
Speaker 4: to win the World Come and ultimately you got to
Speaker 4: have that to get across the finish line. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: so I like our chances.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that breakdown. I want to know what the
Speaker 1: environment is like for Americans because we're just excited there's
Speaker 1: there's a sporting event taking place. We're excited that it's
Speaker 1: US against the world as always. But talk about Argentina's
Speaker 1: they have ninety minutes of them doing chance. I don't
Speaker 1: think the USA has that. We don't have the chance yet.
Speaker 1: We don't have the chance yet, we don't have that.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm assuming our enthusiasm is like a war
Speaker 1: was fired up to be here. Let's get loud and
Speaker 1: rowdy no matter what, especially in Seattle. The twelfth Man vibe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't ask for a better, better venue, Yeah,
Speaker 4: better venue, better fans to play in front of God
Speaker 4: and with all of the stuff, with like surrounding flow
Speaker 4: Baalgin and this the red card controversy, like it creates
Speaker 4: more animosity between other teams and US because they're feeling
Speaker 4: like you're getting home cooking like breaking news. FIFA, Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're probably the most corrupt like organization of all time,
Speaker 4: more than the NA. Yeah, I mean the World Cup
Speaker 4: in Qatar was like in November, which is like that
Speaker 4: never happens.
Speaker 1: So IFIFA just kind of lets things roll, do whatever
Speaker 1: they want.
Speaker 4: And if we're gonna talk about these suspensions. Christiano Ronaldo's
Speaker 4: he has a red card suspension that was also suspended.
Speaker 4: There's four other players in the World Cup right now
Speaker 4: that are playing that have red card suspensions waiting for them.
Speaker 1: Some Americans would come here and just say, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: we got the red card's suspended. Get over it, right.
Speaker 1: The best part about you is your American and you
Speaker 1: got receipts because there's not a lot of Americans out
Speaker 1: here that know that Christian Ronaldo got a red card suspended, suspended, right,
Speaker 1: So that's good to have. Great, it's good to happen.
Speaker 1: What's the line right now in America? I think we're
Speaker 1: minus one ten.
Speaker 5: It's minus one twenty year right here on FanDuel plus
Speaker 5: one oh six for Belgium.
Speaker 8: Do we think there's a chance that if like, let's
Speaker 8: just say it's one to one, they're going into like
Speaker 8: the ninetieth minute flow Baligance scores a goal, that it
Speaker 8: reaches beast quake levels of.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. Actually, it just means more when
Speaker 1: it's country, it just means a little bit more.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 8: I think that would be like watching the Mexico game
Speaker 8: last night and hearing them finally score a goal, like
Speaker 8: watching the stadium shake is like, that's so sick.
Speaker 4: I think a good kind of thing to relate it
Speaker 4: to is like at the end of the Super Bowl, say,
Speaker 4: when they're interviewing the quarterback, like you know, they're very
Speaker 4: emotional and it's like a really cool moment. When Harry
Speaker 4: Kane got interviewed after the Mexico game, his voice was
Speaker 4: completely gone to the point where it was like the
Speaker 4: high pitch, I'm just super proud of like trying to
Speaker 4: clear it because of how much he's like just yelling
Speaker 4: throughout the match, how much he was celebrating, and it's
Speaker 4: like it just means more to to I think World
Speaker 4: Cup soccer players than it does to any other athletes.
Speaker 1: We gotta see, we gotta get past Belgium, got it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: one game, get past Belgium. Onward and upward and boys.
Speaker 1: Then I hope we get France. I hope we do.
Speaker 8: It would be in two rounds, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8: Somebody else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Spain to him, assuming is really good. They are.
Speaker 4: I think they're top three odds to win it all.
Speaker 4: But I this is a year that you would want
Speaker 4: to play Spain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you this too. I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot we have a lot of Canadian fans. We have
Speaker 1: a lot of Canadian fans, and I've been nasty to
Speaker 1: Canada in the sports realm. It's just it's been a
Speaker 1: awful year for Canadian sports and the fact that their
Speaker 1: team who exceeded expectations that we should be very proud
Speaker 1: of our brothers in the North of Canada of even
Speaker 1: getting to the knockout rounds and all that, but to
Speaker 1: lose on July fourth, chest it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: With their coach slightly running his mouth about the US
Speaker 4: earlier in the world. No, he wasn't because he used
Speaker 4: to be on our staff and he tried to, you know,
Speaker 4: come at our culture.
Speaker 1: And obviously that's just like brother So what are we
Speaker 1: assuming on that?
Speaker 3: What we got?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 5: So we today, so this would be Monday, we have
Speaker 5: Spain where to go. Spain plays.
Speaker 7: Portugal two pm on Mondays, so this game has already happened. Obviously,
Speaker 7: USA plays tonight and then today Tuesday, Argentina and Egypt
Speaker 7: play at eleven am, and then three pm Switzerland and Columbia,
Speaker 7: and then Thursday you have France and Morocco and Norway
Speaker 7: and England on Saturday.
Speaker 3: So the winner.
Speaker 1: So if we beat Belgium, we get the winner of who.
Speaker 5: You get the I think it's the winner of today's game,
Speaker 5: got you?
Speaker 1: So they all get the equal amount of rest. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we would get the winner of Portugal.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: I like that a lot, dude, I like that good. Yeah, Morocco,
Speaker 1: France struggled with Paraguay.
Speaker 8: Nor Way, Norway, England's gonna be a good one too.
Speaker 1: And who's better Portugal or Spain? Spain? So we want Spain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want the hardest.
Speaker 1: We want the hardest road. We don't want a road
Speaker 1: where people are like, well they actually no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no.
Speaker 8: People are saying Spain is the next MESSI too.
Speaker 1: I thought this guy was the next MESSI everyone's got
Speaker 1: the next messy.
Speaker 2: Nobody's the next messy. That's what needs to be understood.
Speaker 4: Oh MESSI baptized this kid literally and then continues to
Speaker 4: outscore him.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Wow, I love it, dude.
Speaker 1: I love just I love trying to understand a sport.
Speaker 1: I have zero comprehension of It's just it's fun, it's fun,
Speaker 1: and it's so cool. I love anything that involves all
Speaker 1: the countries or multiple countries compete against each other. The
Speaker 1: sense of pride that comes out. We need more of it.

Speaker 1: just Tuesday, by the way, end of day today on
Speaker 1: Tuesday follow ripping with the boys, I mean boys, what
Speaker 1: else we got? What else we got? Lebron James big basketball.
Speaker 1: He's going back to Cleveland, d when he not like
Speaker 1: he says he's not returning the Lakers had a great
Speaker 1: time there. That was awesome to see that he's got
Speaker 1: to go back to Cleveland now, right, Like where else
Speaker 1: should he go?
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I think it'd be cool if you
Speaker 2: went back to Clflandyeah.
Speaker 1: Go back to Cleveland. Wrap up the career. It's like, buddy,
Speaker 1: you're forty something. Yeah, like you're one of the goats.
Speaker 1: You're a great basket a player. That's all I know.
Speaker 6: Can you break it down like Lebron James free agency again,
Speaker 6: what that would be for like the NFL? Because I
Speaker 6: just I guess I'm not in on the Lebron stuff
Speaker 6: right now. Yeah, Tom Brady, but like times three times three?
Speaker 5: How many times?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: Just because he's done it, Like, yeah, Brady just went
Speaker 4: to the Bucks and now was it? And so I'm
Speaker 4: trying to think if there is an NFL player that no,
Speaker 4: maybe like.
Speaker 8: Randy Moss or Julio Jones when they were like team
Speaker 8: hopped to like a couple other teams, but they didn't
Speaker 8: really do anything. But what makes it different as Lebron
Speaker 8: still contributes.
Speaker 2: Crazy, I know, I wish I had.
Speaker 1: He's still gonna get a max contract. Was like, the
Speaker 1: amount of money that comes with him from a PR
Speaker 1: standpoint is unreal. If I'm Lebron, you've made, You're a billionaire.
Speaker 1: You're essentially a billionaire. If he's not already, go back
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, put a bow on this wonderful career. If
Speaker 1: you're an acron kid, go do your thing. Try to
Speaker 1: bring something nice, bring some juice to a community and
Speaker 1: dip that's that would be my that would be my move.
Speaker 2: Put the league in Bronnie's hands.
Speaker 6: Man, Yeah, him versus Bronni's gonna be sick. I hope
Speaker 6: they play dunkin on his own side, the goat man.
Speaker 1: All right, well listen, we're gonna get to the show

Speaker 8: just want to wear this outfit all the time. Yeah okay,
Speaker 8: Like it's very simple.
Speaker 3: And like it.
Speaker 8: Like they may even just say it to make you
Speaker 8: feel good, but like inside it makes you feel really good. Good.
Speaker 1: It's a good one.
Speaker 8: I like those shorts on you. Oh I'm gonna wash
Speaker 8: these shorts as much as possible so I can always
Speaker 8: continue to wear them.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't even wash them, to just keep riving them.
Speaker 4: There's a tweet out there that says like a man
Speaker 4: will hold on to a good compliment for at least
Speaker 4: ten years.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, this is kind of an obvious one.
Speaker 2: I want to take it off the board. A haircut.
Speaker 2: Getting a comment on a haircut, haircut's nice, just immediately,
Speaker 2: just like calling the barber back, like whatever you just did,
Speaker 2: write that down. We're doing that every single time.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot.
Speaker 1: I like the outfit.
Speaker 8: I like that.
Speaker 1: How about date night? You choose the restaurant and you
Speaker 1: go there and you get back in the car after
Speaker 1: full bellies and they go that was incredible. What a
Speaker 1: great choice. Yeah, like that one right there. That one
Speaker 1: felt kind of nice to me.
Speaker 3: That wastah.
Speaker 6: It's a hard one to get because these women, my
Speaker 6: mine's on a similar little path. But it's when like
Speaker 6: we're trying to pick a date night spot and we're like, oh,
Speaker 6: you want to go here, and she goes, well, you
Speaker 6: make that better at home, there's no reason to go go.
Speaker 5: I'm like, hell yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.
Speaker 7: I've never gotten that once have gotten that getting a
Speaker 7: little maybe be doing some self work, putting in the
Speaker 7: undercover hours, and you just get it.
Speaker 5: I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1: Oh one, Yeah, that's a good one. That might be
Speaker 1: the best one. Actually, yeah yeah. The the proud of
Speaker 1: you comment is nice. All right, Hey boys, great job.
Speaker 1: Oh we have me a couple uh tier talks. A
Speaker 1: couple of tier talks going on here. Kayla Bingham says,
Speaker 1: which bottom tier NFL team top ten draft picks will
Speaker 1: have the break We'll have a breakout year. First thing
Speaker 1: that comes to mind, Jeremiah Love Well, I'm just more
Speaker 1: talking about individuals I'm just talking about individuals on.
Speaker 4: That one.
Speaker 1: Bottom tier two. Oh no, dude, Titans. I mean, and
Speaker 1: I know it's super biased, but like we've talked about
Speaker 1: this before, AFC South, shaky, shaky division taking place there.
Speaker 1: You don't know what the Colts are going to be
Speaker 1: this year. You're not sure what what CJ. Stroud had
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and the boys down in a douval. They
Speaker 1: have done well. They did well last year, but it
Speaker 1: seemed like they had a lot of areas that you
Speaker 1: can capitalize on from a weakness standpoint. And then you
Speaker 1: see cam Warden the kind of hype that everyone's given
Speaker 1: him Cardinal people are saying he's doing incredible things during practice.
Speaker 1: You have great minds from a coaching staff. I like
Speaker 1: seeing a huge jump from that team. They will clearly
Speaker 1: be out of the top ten pick category. In my brain,
Speaker 1: I do love the idea of saying sneaky wild card team.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of saying that.
Speaker 8: Question. But when you guys got your new uniforms, like
Speaker 8: when you were playing and you got the new uniforms,
Speaker 8: how did y'e.
Speaker 1: Do twenty eighteen nine to seven made the playoffs? I
Speaker 1: think do we meet the playoffs in twenty eighteen or
Speaker 1: was it twenty sixteen that we got the new uniforms.
Speaker 8: I wish I knew, because I'm just trying to say, like,
Speaker 8: and maybe there's a little maybe there's a little something,
Speaker 8: a little extra juice there with the new uniforms.
Speaker 1: New uniforms go hard clumps the hater on the uniforms.
Speaker 4: Knowing you've got a historical season coming in the last
Speaker 4: season of the old Nissan Stadium.
Speaker 1: That's where you think you hit your hat on it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. One thing I think that Titans need to do too,
Speaker 1: while we're on the subject, is they need to give
Speaker 1: their seats up to season ticket holders. People have held
Speaker 1: their season tickets since day one. They need to give
Speaker 1: gift them their seats.
Speaker 3: I would love that.
Speaker 5: My family has had them since ninety nine.
Speaker 1: When I say that, we would love that, I think
Speaker 1: that would be a very cool thing because you look
Speaker 1: at that stadium. It's like, especially when you're driving on
Speaker 1: the highway and you see both of them, and how
Speaker 1: much is new stadium kind of dwarf Stason Stadium, But
Speaker 1: even myself like being a part of it for nine
Speaker 1: years and just driving past and be like, it's crazy
Speaker 1: that uniforms have changed and the stadium is changing, and
Speaker 1: at the end of that, it's like everything that I
Speaker 1: was a part of will now be a thing of
Speaker 1: the past where there's nothing to kind of go back
Speaker 1: it's in and be like, yo, I remember on this
Speaker 1: part of the field when this happened at the Josh
Speaker 1: Norman thing, or any of those days, Derek Henry's ninety
Speaker 1: nine yard run, like all the cool moments you're about
Speaker 1: to be a part of. It's like that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a thing of the past. I think it'd be awesome
Speaker 1: to give away pieces of Nissan Stadium, especially to people
Speaker 1: that have been in it since ninety nine. I would
Speaker 1: love that. Parker Hackey says, which quarterback head coach do
Speaker 1: has the most pressure to start hot this NFL season?
Speaker 1: Great question?
Speaker 5: Could really just throw it back to the Titans again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sneaky Like Joe Burrow, Dude, I was thinking
Speaker 1: the same thing. Joe Burrow and Zach Taylor, I think
Speaker 1: are two individuals because there was a lot of weird
Speaker 1: rumors and things went around as like Joe does Joe
Speaker 1: want to be there? You see some of his press
Speaker 1: conferences late in the season. He's been hurt a lot.
Speaker 1: They have a history in the last couple of seasons
Speaker 1: of starting off a little slower, to the point where
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor's job is now a little bit in question,
Speaker 1: where he's kind of starting in a hot seat because
Speaker 1: they have all the ammunition you need from a weapons
Speaker 1: standpoint on that team to be successful. You don't have
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett in your division anymore. That's a huge w
Speaker 1: for your team and Joe Burrow's health. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: love I love the Joe burrownt.
Speaker 8: Jalen Hurts or Jaden Daniels, Dan Queen.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say Horrorball and Jackson Dart too, not
Speaker 7: one but new coach second year. Yeah, New York's a
Speaker 7: scary place to play if you don't perform.
Speaker 1: I think I think not as much pressure on Harrorball,
Speaker 1: more on Jackson Dart, Yeah, Nels, Brandon Ayuk, Yeah, the.
Speaker 5: Hurts, Sirianni One's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But it's like, I just wanna be on record
Speaker 1: that Jalen Hurt is gonna have an MVP season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're on record for that.
Speaker 3: Like a fool, I.
Speaker 8: Truly think this is the year that like, not that
Speaker 8: Jalen hasn't gotten found out, but he gets found out,
Speaker 8: and like I think something happens.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, negative negative takes no not like me and you,
Speaker 1: by me and you, we.
Speaker 5: Are both gonna go crazy when he has a VP season,
Speaker 5: Like if this may be uh the backup, He's not
Speaker 5: even the backup. Andy Dalton's the backup in Philly.
Speaker 1: Now listen, we're not gonna throw more shade at Philly.
Speaker 5: Hurts is going to dominate.
Speaker 1: Probably not, It'll be interesting because remember the last time,
Speaker 1: who's a Makayle Lemon. That's the kid they drafted over
Speaker 1: over the Steelers, And essentially kail Lemon is replacing a J.
Speaker 1: Brown who is now a Patriot. Last time a J.
Speaker 1: Brown got replaced, it didn't go so well, right, It's
Speaker 1: hard to replace a talent like that.
Speaker 4: And so.
Speaker 1: For I feel like for Philly, you have all, you
Speaker 1: have such a strong and amazing roster. It really is
Speaker 1: gonna be the It's gonna be the play calling because
Speaker 1: you have you have the weapons, you have the talent.
Speaker 1: You've seen him do it and they they tend to
Speaker 1: have it down yere and then a super Bowl caliber
Speaker 1: year right after that, so it could be a year
Speaker 1: that they do really well. I'm not here to say
Speaker 1: Hurts is the guy though the long like I understand,
Speaker 1: I understand. I like the Joe Burrow I like the
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow one. I kind of want to think about
Speaker 1: it a little bit more.
Speaker 8: Because Lamar, dude, something he's gotta get.
Speaker 1: No, because they had a new coach. They got a
Speaker 1: new coach.
Speaker 8: No I know, but I'm just saying he's just got
Speaker 8: a pat like, make it happen.
Speaker 1: I got the roster too, and it's like, how many
Speaker 1: years is Derek Henry gonna keep being dominant?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: How much pressure is Kyler Murray have?
Speaker 1: You think?
Speaker 7: I feel like, not as much, just because the Vikings
Speaker 7: haven't I mean, coming taken over nine's position, not too much.
Speaker 5: So you gotta really dominate with Seed.
Speaker 1: But don't sit on MacArthur con No, because they I mean,
Speaker 1: they had a great season last year. Yeah, they started
Speaker 1: really strong, and con that was his first year as
Speaker 1: a head coach, came in real shaky with that press conference. Dude,
Speaker 1: that whole thing that was a little odd for all
Speaker 1: of us. But he, I mean his play calling was incredible.
Speaker 1: I think Trevor Lawrence took a step in his career
Speaker 1: last year, but they did. They had some They had
Speaker 1: some massive blind spots. You know what, dude might be
Speaker 1: a sneaky one, Pat Mahomes, because I think from a
Speaker 1: media standpoint, there's gonna be a lot of eyes on
Speaker 1: how he recovers and how he comes back. He's still
Speaker 1: he's still gonna be a hell of a football player.
Speaker 1: But what are you laughing about that?
Speaker 6: Hey, now I know why you weren't invited to the
Speaker 6: wedding man. You can't you can't be going at Mahomes
Speaker 6: like not going at Mahomes. I'm just saying, as much
Speaker 6: immediate attention as the Chiefs skin, there's gonna be all
Speaker 6: eyes any misq misstep. If Pat doesn't look great immediately,
Speaker 6: people are gonna be like going to blow it up
Speaker 6: to the biggest thing in the world. What do you
Speaker 6: think back, I think he's take as long as he
Speaker 6: to take.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 8: This year, well, they I mean they signed justin fields
Speaker 8: like he's not that he's like the end all be all,
Speaker 8: but like he can suffice for four to six weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. I think four to six
Speaker 1: weeks to agree with. I think if you're pat, you
Speaker 1: don't come back into you like you're like one hundred
Speaker 1: percent healthy, one healthy, you don't want to go and
Speaker 1: you mess around with that career that he's had already
Speaker 1: because if he gets another injury, that you getting a
Speaker 1: weird territorist that you don't want to be in weird
Speaker 1: uncomfortable territories. Who else, basically the.
Speaker 8: NFL Josh Allen, Yeah, Josh Allen, And well know they got.
Speaker 6: That horrible of me to ask live here, But who
Speaker 6: is the new head coach of the Ravens? I'm forgetting
Speaker 6: does anyone.
Speaker 3: Probably did not know that? You don't know either, right?
Speaker 1: Who is it?
Speaker 5: Jesse mintor?
Speaker 2: Oh god?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a that's a bad What about Justin Herbert?
Speaker 1: It's a great one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And at some point you've got to get over
Speaker 5: the roster though.
Speaker 2: That line, that's the argument.
Speaker 8: I think that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Herbert's a good one.
Speaker 1: Herbert's a good one.
Speaker 8: He like, of the all of the stats in like
Speaker 8: your first five years of starting, he's at the top
Speaker 8: of all of them. But he's like, I don't know
Speaker 8: if it's his defense or what it is, like he
Speaker 8: just doesn't have the Hell.
Speaker 1: No, it's a good one. I like that one, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he does need that roster and that division they're
Speaker 1: in too is just so nasty anyway. Uh, Connor Beckis
Speaker 1: has Taylor wechedid to Bryce Harper about possibly throwing to
Speaker 1: him on the Home Run Derby if he does it.
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper recently came out and said his dad tooled
Speaker 1: to throw, and so that's the only guy that he

Speaker 9: So my parents still live in the same house. But
Speaker 9: river so like there's a city, then there's like the
Speaker 9: river in the beach. So a lot of my friends
Speaker 9: were in the beach. And then we had a good house,
Speaker 9: big backyard, and it's where I that's where I love football.
Speaker 9: That's where I started to love It.
Speaker 3: Was football down in Florida. Like you grew up, probably
Speaker 3: around dunes, like they take football a little It's a
Speaker 3: little different down there in Florida, you.
Speaker 8: Guys, a.
Speaker 2: Little bit. I know what you're saying some swag to me,
Speaker 2: like look at this guy that's a running back.
Speaker 1: Actually just another modeling photo football.
Speaker 3: Photo that is hilarious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, were you worried for your life when you were
Speaker 1: playing Florida?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Florida football, like growing up in it. I'll say,
Speaker 9: our pop corner games are like super lit, like like
Speaker 9: not stadium, but the place is packed, like people were
Speaker 9: standing on the fence. You know, we're driving over north
Speaker 9: side of Jack's like like it's pretty it's pretty rough
Speaker 9: over there.
Speaker 3: Intense. Yeah, I feel like the coaching staffs take it
Speaker 3: way too serious there for sure.
Speaker 9: And like my high school coach was a legend, Corky Rogers,
Speaker 9: he actually passed away, but winning a coach in Florida history,
Speaker 9: he's got like twelve had twelve state championships. But what
Speaker 9: he did was he created like a feeder league. So
Speaker 9: I played with all these kids from like age seven
Speaker 9: all the way till I graduated high school and we
Speaker 9: played on a pop Ward team together then all the
Speaker 9: way through middle school then high school, so we kind
Speaker 9: of like ran the same offense. So like this he
Speaker 9: was before his time, Yeah, because now they're doing that
Speaker 9: like that's normal. But back then it was kind of like, eh,
Speaker 9: is that is that normal?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 9: So that was cool, and then seven on seven was huge.
Speaker 9: I was kind of the first like era of seven
Speaker 9: on seven, you know, with like the passing camps and stuff.
Speaker 9: So I got to meet a lot of cool guys.
Speaker 9: And I actually almost not many people know this, but
Speaker 9: I almost transferred to like this school called Rains. And
Speaker 9: because I wasn't playing there was a guy above me,
Speaker 9: Joe Eden, great quarterback, played played in college, but I
Speaker 9: was still at a you know, at a private school,
Speaker 9: like trying to get film and stuff. And there was
Speaker 9: a school called Rains. It's like, you know, it's one
Speaker 9: of like it's a it's a tough school that's there.
Speaker 3: It's like Hoover. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they got like ten guys to go D one
Speaker 9: every year. Like it's it's a school. And they were
Speaker 9: trying to like recruit me secretly to go over there,
Speaker 9: and like I was gonna be homeschooled and we ended
Speaker 9: up not doing it, but like it was all those
Speaker 9: relationships that I built growing up. I played against a
Speaker 9: lot of those guys in Pop Warner and the coaches,
Speaker 9: like everyone knows everybody, right, So it was kind of cool,
Speaker 9: like it was a good opportunity for me to maybe
Speaker 9: go play, but I ended up staying, which is awesome
Speaker 9: for me and play for coach Rogers.
Speaker 3: Now, when you went, when you were staying in high school,
Speaker 3: stayed at the school, you said the backup, yeah, like
Speaker 3: were you of the mentality, like I am nice, I
Speaker 3: need to go somewhere where I'm going to showcase this ability.
Speaker 9: Kind of. I was like, dude, that freshman year, I
Speaker 9: was so small. I was like five six, maybe like
Speaker 9: one twenty or something. You know, one of those stories
Speaker 9: just looked like a total pipsqueak out there, like yeah,
Speaker 9: and so I needed to develop kind of like when
Speaker 9: I went to Alabama, the same thing I needed to develop.
Speaker 9: So like I ended up obviously doing that and the
Speaker 9: guy in front of me played and then you know,
Speaker 9: sophomore year, I started playing and I was playing it
Speaker 9: one game. I started versus like American Heritage, and like
Speaker 9: some of these big schools were like pascertained. All these
Speaker 9: guys were out there. So I was like still small,
Speaker 9: like five eight, one seventy maybe less than one yeah,
Speaker 9: one sixty, but yeah, like ID smaller than everybody, but
Speaker 9: like I think school started to see that, and I
Speaker 9: finally grew like my dad's a big dude, So I
Speaker 9: finally hit my Grosburg maybe like junior sophomore, junior year,
Speaker 9: and like started getting offers and stuff. But it took
Speaker 9: a minute because like everyone's like, dude, you're five eight,
Speaker 9: Like you're not gonna you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And there the bottom he's gonna be a great high
Speaker 1: school player.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, like a small d one school. And I
Speaker 9: was worried about that a little bit because I wanted
Speaker 9: to play like legit football. I was just waiting for
Speaker 9: me to grow, Like I didn't have armpit hair and shit,
Speaker 9: like I was like, come on, like like the first day,
Speaker 9: like bench pressing like eight hundred pounds, like that wasn't me.
Speaker 9: So anyways, that was kind of like the early part
Speaker 9: of my journey. And I just worked through all that
Speaker 9: and like developed and stuck with it and trained hard,
Speaker 9: worked with a lot of like quarterback coaches and stuff
Speaker 9: and got better and eventually once I started as a
Speaker 9: junior and senior, like the film was really good and
Speaker 9: I got a bunch offers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how old were you a year?
Speaker 9: I was probably like six feet maybe h.
Speaker 1: We hit the spur, we feel good about five six ten.
Speaker 9: Six feet, then like maybe six one. I think I
Speaker 9: grew another engine call.
Speaker 1: One morning a little deeper, like, oh shit, it's actually fun. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you remember the first offer you got? Like
Speaker 1: what was the first team that was like, we want
Speaker 1: you to be our starting quarterback.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so Kentucky sec to start I know, right, So
Speaker 9: it was actually a great story. Shout out to my mom.
Speaker 9: We went up there for camp. I'd been going on
Speaker 9: these bus bus tours ironically in the bus but they're
Speaker 9: like these bus stores were like you go and your
Speaker 9: parents send you. I went to like all the way
Speaker 9: through the West Virginia mountains, went to West Virginia a
Speaker 9: wake forest, like all the way up and did this
Speaker 9: bus tour for a week. Anyways, so I met coach Dawson,
Speaker 9: who was offensive coordinator Miami. Now I think Shannon Dawson,
Speaker 9: I'm one of these West virgin I think he was that.
Speaker 9: So I threw there. They didn't end up offering me.
Speaker 9: But the next year I went back to camp in
Speaker 9: Kentucky and like bawled out through great. I had good
Speaker 9: film at the time, and like we sat down kind
Speaker 9: of like in this situation and my mom's like all right,
Speaker 9: like what's to do? Like Mac doesn't have any offers,
Speaker 9: like he clearly was the best quarterback at the camp.
Speaker 3: Mom's good.
Speaker 9: I'm like, holl you're going You're kind of sitting there
Speaker 9: all quietly like sootoe huge shirt. I think that was
Speaker 9: like towards the end.
Speaker 3: That's pre kids.
Speaker 1: Getting swagged up exactly. This is just love the game
Speaker 1: right here. Of course that ed and you're like hell
Speaker 1: yeah sure.
Speaker 9: But anyways, so we're sitting down I throw at camp
Speaker 9: and she pretty much told him, like stop being a
Speaker 9: bitch and offer him. It's like what he said or
Speaker 9: what she said to him, and like he was like
Speaker 9: all right, yes I will. It's like we're offering you
Speaker 9: a scholarship the Kentucky Congratulations first offer. So my mom
Speaker 9: like kind of like I think he might have been
Speaker 9: offered me, but she really pushed it and like made
Speaker 9: it happen, which is awesome. That was my first offer.
Speaker 3: On the graphic it said commit did you get to
Speaker 3: contem so ship?
Speaker 9: No, it wasn't on the spot. Yeah, I was definitely.
Speaker 9: I kind of like waited a little bit, but I
Speaker 9: ended up committing there pretty recently after I got a
Speaker 9: few more offers, like ten ten offers after that.
Speaker 1: Were they other SEC schools?
Speaker 9: Yeah, there were some big ones like A and M
Speaker 9: was like a big one. I don't know, Ole Miss
Speaker 9: like some of those schools.
Speaker 1: And you thought that I want to be a Wildcat.
Speaker 9: Yeah you know, but I really liked coach Stops and
Speaker 9: like they were building a new facility and like, you know,
Speaker 9: they're selling it to me, like, hey, you haven't played
Speaker 9: like in high school you were you weren't the guy
Speaker 9: like early on, and then you became the guy. Like
Speaker 9: here you're the guy right away. You know type thing.
Speaker 3: You're going to build this thing with M.
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly, You're going to it. Well, you know, they
Speaker 9: sell it and I'm like sitting there, I'm like one
Speaker 9: hundred and sixty pounds.
Speaker 2: I like, all right, let's do it.
Speaker 9: I wasn't ready for SEC football though, and I think
Speaker 9: my parents kind of knew that and they were like,
Speaker 9: hold on, let's like evaluate this. And I ended up decommitting. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so like we had like a top ten class. I
Speaker 9: would I still talk to people about it, but I
Speaker 9: would like DM guys and be like sign to Kentucky
Speaker 9: like I was trying to get the whole class built up. Yeah,
Speaker 9: we were top ten class by the end of it,
Speaker 9: which is huge for Kentucky. And then I decommitted it
Speaker 9: in the next day, like guy, So Kentucky, you won't
Speaker 9: hate me, I think, but I still love you guys.
Speaker 9: And the reason though, is like I was worried. It's crazy, right,
Speaker 9: but I was worried, like the consistency of it all,
Speaker 9: like if Coachtops got fired or are they bring in
Speaker 9: somebody else? And I got a transfer and my parents
Speaker 9: saw that from like a business standpoint, like you're gonna
Speaker 9: have a new coach every year. Maybe, But I mean
Speaker 9: they were wrong on that because Stoops was actually there
Speaker 9: for a while. But I get what they were saying,
Speaker 9: because they're like, why don't you try somewhere with some
Speaker 9: more consistency. Like what you're seeing is like these coaches
Speaker 9: were moving a lot, Like Shannon Dawson ended up leaving,
Speaker 9: and that was my connect there, and it's like what
Speaker 9: if he leaves and brings in some like triple options.
Speaker 9: You know they're not gonna run the triple option, but
Speaker 9: some running quarterback type shit I'm like, that's not what
Speaker 9: I do. So anyways, I wanted to re evaluate it,
Speaker 9: and I ended up getting you know, stepping away from
Speaker 9: it for a little bit, like just taking a big
Speaker 9: picture view. And then Alabama came in at the last minute,
Speaker 9: not last last minute, but like pretty pretty late in
Speaker 9: the process.
Speaker 3: And did Alabama. So it sounds like Alabama came in
Speaker 3: after you decommitted. Yeah, so we're there conversations going on
Speaker 3: with Bama before Well, this is pre n I l.
Speaker 1: This is c an il.
Speaker 3: You know we had tickets to the back and.
Speaker 1: Main account.
Speaker 9: No, but I didn't have any of that. I wasn't
Speaker 9: a good enough like they gave all the good stuff there.
Speaker 1: But going back there, like mac Jones, he's got a backyard,
Speaker 1: he's had bad parents. That's definitely appreciated the shipload definitely,
Speaker 1: But what was that? What was your last like your
Speaker 1: top five or like schools you were really looking at.
Speaker 9: So I would say Kentucky obviously was still in it
Speaker 9: after I decommitted, Like I still was like I might
Speaker 9: come back to this. I just want to reevaluate. Obviously, Alabama,
Speaker 9: Texas A and m was cool coach someone my mom
Speaker 9: didn't really want me to go there though, like she
Speaker 9: she wanted me to go to Alabama.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she saw the Midnight Yell. She had some question marks.
Speaker 9: About I don't know, like it's kind of not far
Speaker 9: from home, but it's Texas. It's kind of the way,
Speaker 9: you know, I'm trying to think of some other schools.
Speaker 9: I mean, I liked Old miss.
Speaker 3: Like when Spama came into the conversation, when you were committed.
Speaker 9: To it was really Kentucky Orbama.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Mom was like, let's reevaluate.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, yeah, for sure, And I was committed and
Speaker 9: then they offered and there was like a two week
Speaker 9: period where everyone was kind of like is he going
Speaker 9: to take this? And Alabama like sometimes they're not committable offers.
Speaker 9: Mine was like committable or whatever. And I ended up
Speaker 9: having to go up there and throw and my dad,
Speaker 9: So my dad had this like it's kind of a
Speaker 9: side story, but my dad had this Yukon Excel car
Speaker 9: and he still has it or just got rid of it.
Speaker 9: Had like three hundred and fifty thousand miles on it.
Speaker 9: But he drove me from Miami at like one of
Speaker 9: those seven on seven tournaments, all the way overnight to
Speaker 9: get to Alabama because Saban called and was like, I
Speaker 9: guess they really wanted to see me throw in person.
Speaker 9: Like this is after they offered me, because they came
Speaker 9: to my school and offered me, but then they were like, hey,
Speaker 9: come out to camp, like we just want to see
Speaker 9: so you throw and stuff. So my dad like drove
Speaker 9: me all the way through the night. We got there
Speaker 9: at like whatever seven am. I threw from nine to ten,
Speaker 9: and then within like right after the workout, Saban brought
Speaker 9: me up and he's like like told me the plan
Speaker 9: for me, Like if you do commit here, this is
Speaker 9: how we see it playing out. Like you're not going
Speaker 9: to start early on, to be honest, is what he
Speaker 9: told me, which I respect. And he's being straight up
Speaker 9: like you need to develop, like you're not going to
Speaker 9: develop at some of these other schools that you want
Speaker 9: to get in our strength and conditioning program with Scott Cochrane,
Speaker 9: be on the scout team for a year or two
Speaker 9: and see what happens. And I was like, I mean,
Speaker 9: it'd be one thing if he was like you're gonna
Speaker 9: come here to start, because I would have known I
Speaker 9: was bullshit. So it's like he was being real with
Speaker 9: me and I think that trip, like my dad sacrificing
Speaker 9: that time and him driving through the night, like that
Speaker 9: saved me because I think Saban really loved like my
Speaker 9: personality on the field, throwing with those guys, like running
Speaker 9: the workout, because they just put you on this other
Speaker 9: field and there's other quarterbacks and you kind of got
Speaker 9: to take over and like be the man, like Kiffen's
Speaker 9: out there, everybody's out there. And I threw great, and
Speaker 9: then like I said, he took me up to the
Speaker 9: office and that was it. Dude, it was sick.
Speaker 1: So did the helicopter didn't play a role in you committing?
Speaker 9: That was good, good recall. So I think sometime after
Speaker 9: I de committed, they did come down to my high
Speaker 9: school and Saban landed a helicopter on on the field
Speaker 9: and it was like the coolest thing ever. Yeah, it
Speaker 9: was yeah, And I was like, because I didn't really
Speaker 9: know if they wanted me, you know how, it is
Speaker 9: like yeah, all right, it's like.
Speaker 1: Committed, Yeah, they always have Yeah. I mean the room
Speaker 1: he even walked into it was insane.
Speaker 9: For sure, Like Jalen's there too, already committed. I committed
Speaker 9: two weeks after twa or somewhere around that timeline. But yeah,
Speaker 9: so like he came to my high school and like
Speaker 9: all the kids are like around the fence, like, oh
Speaker 9: my god, that's Nick Saban.
Speaker 3: You feel like the man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like I'm the man and.
Speaker 1: Let's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Like that obviously helped. And then I think from there
Speaker 9: that was like late, Like I was a senior and
Speaker 9: I was already pretty much going there. But for him
Speaker 9: to come see my high school coach who was a
Speaker 9: legend who he knew, Kirky Rogers and Nick Saban sitting
Speaker 9: there kind of like this just talking. It was really cool.
Speaker 9: And that was an experience that like I'll never forget that,
Speaker 9: you know, because Coach Rogers passed away, but I really
Speaker 9: played for some legends and that was just it was
Speaker 9: a good transition for me.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's something you'll never forget and one of
Speaker 1: your classmates will never forget as well. Literally helicopter landing
Speaker 1: and all that. When Saban's giving it to you straight
Speaker 1: everyone like you see, like him miked up the practices,
Speaker 1: how he handles a bunch stuff, Like how intense was
Speaker 1: those first couple of practices when you show up two
Speaker 1: his committees in the same classes you Hurts, is there,
Speaker 1: like hell yeah, there's a late like the wide receiver room.
Speaker 1: All those guys are in the NFL Aliens. Aliens are everywhere,
Speaker 1: but you're essentially seeing all the UFOs that they've been
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 9: I'm a new young a.
Speaker 1: How intense was it when you first got to Alabama?
Speaker 1: Was there a point you're like, yeah, there's I gotta
Speaker 1: get out.
Speaker 8: Of here.
Speaker 9: Tos. I'm used to go way too many. That's that's
Speaker 9: a good point. I think my mindset was there, like
Speaker 9: and I had to build that. But like my first
Speaker 9: day when I did that lift, because the lifts there
Speaker 9: were insane, and Scott Cochrane was obviously a legend strength coach.
Speaker 9: Like we would like go in, you do your warm up,
Speaker 9: like everything's like so organized and structured, and then you're
Speaker 9: running to every lift like your back squad, and then
Speaker 9: you're like run to the row machine. It's like you're dying.
Speaker 9: And they'll give you water pretty much, well they do,
Speaker 9: We'll say that they do, but politically they were good
Speaker 9: about like the trains. That was awesome. But anyways, first
Speaker 9: day I'm like hallucinating, like like I can't even finish
Speaker 9: an hour workout, and I'm like, do these other guys
Speaker 9: like Minka Fitzpatrick and everybody were like they look like
Speaker 9: they're ten years older than me. And they actually one
Speaker 9: of the coaches, like strength coaches, not Scott Cochran, but
Speaker 9: an assistant he thought I was a walk on, so
Speaker 9: he like put me with the walk ons, like there's
Speaker 9: another group for the walk on.
Speaker 1: Oh shit.
Speaker 9: So the first day I like the walk ons and
Speaker 9: I didn't know shit. I was just like all right,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna lift me all these other white guys, the
Speaker 9: other guys like yeah, I'm like not with these guys,
Speaker 9: Like I'm like, hold on, I think this is fucked up.
Speaker 9: So anyways, so like there's a coach there, coach TJ.
Speaker 9: He's like old school strength coach, and he would always
Speaker 9: call me like he's like, you're my walk on, you're
Speaker 9: my walk on. So even when I was starting, he's like,
Speaker 9: you're my walk on, You're my walk on. So like
Speaker 9: that's where that story came from. But eventually, like that
Speaker 9: pissed me off. I'm like I'm not a walk on,
Speaker 9: Like screw that. So that motivated me right there. I
Speaker 9: was like I'm gonna prove to everybody like maybe I
Speaker 9: don't look the part right now, but like I'm gonna
Speaker 9: show him. I'm a dog. And I did throughout the
Speaker 9: four years. Like we had we had this like fourth
Speaker 9: quarter program where you run, run and lift, you know,
Speaker 9: like in the springtime OTAs.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you try to figure out who they quit exactly.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like me and Jalen and two are running
Speaker 9: against each other and the linebackers. But like you get
Speaker 9: a shirt after every week if you're if you do well,
Speaker 9: like they hand out maybe ten of them for the
Speaker 9: whole team. So I got all four years in a row.
Speaker 9: Every week I got a shirt and like so I
Speaker 9: got it like sixteen times or whatever. That was a
Speaker 9: huge deal for me. Like that was my goal every week,
Speaker 9: like get the shirt, be the first one, at least
Speaker 9: trying to be the first one. I couldn't really beat
Speaker 9: Jalen because he's faster than but like I gave him
Speaker 9: a run for my money, like for for like what
Speaker 9: I was what it was worth, you know. So anyways, yeah,
Speaker 9: that was fun. Like it helped me mentally to like
Speaker 9: run against those guys and lift and compete and it
Speaker 9: made me grow up quick. So like what Saban was
Speaker 9: talking about in that meeting, like you need to develop
Speaker 9: that happened. It took really all four years for that
Speaker 9: to happen.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, so how intense was that competition
Speaker 3: in the quarterback room when you're with Jalen into it
Speaker 3: because you're yea there on the sideline regards when Tua
Speaker 3: comes in for Jalen, Like what was the competition like
Speaker 3: in that room with you guys?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was interesting because like I think they both
Speaker 9: early on there probably this guy just like a non threat,
Speaker 9: kind of like cool guy, you know, and they're kind yeah,
Speaker 9: that's how they viewed me, kind of like a little broa.
Speaker 9: We were all cool. But it's like they were definitely competing,
Speaker 9: Like you could feel like a little bit of tension
Speaker 9: in the room, and I was always in the middle,
Speaker 9: Like it was like Jalen Tua, Me in the middle.
Speaker 9: Not like they were fighting or anything, but yeah, think
Speaker 9: about it, like Jalen, you're the man you win. Go
Speaker 9: to a natty as a freshman, like you're going to
Speaker 9: win in every game you play, and they kind of
Speaker 9: like bring in Tua and they're kind of like starting
Speaker 9: to push two on them, and Tua played really good
Speaker 9: in practice and yeah, so I get what they were
Speaker 9: doing and I was just scouting quarterbacks. So that dynamic
Speaker 9: was it was honestly great for me and.
Speaker 1: Were the same class correct correct? Yea, So was there
Speaker 1: like did you feel some type of way when like Tua,
Speaker 1: they started giving two of them now to do more
Speaker 1: and more things and it essentially became like a one
Speaker 1: to two battle for them.
Speaker 9: For sure, I kind of knew where I was at,
Speaker 9: like early on, I'm not I'm a competitor, so like
Speaker 9: obviously it was tough to like see two and I'm like,
Speaker 9: but I also knew, like I'm not where I want
Speaker 9: to be, and I was just focusing on me. But
Speaker 9: I guess I was just kind of the middleman between
Speaker 9: those two guys. Yeah, And I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 9: It was good for me, but eventually I started getting
Speaker 9: better and better and better, and two was obviously gone
Speaker 9: by the time we would actually like compete against each other.
Speaker 9: But but yeah, it was a good room. Like the
Speaker 9: dynamic was cool, Like Jalen, obviously you got I'm not
Speaker 9: going to say bench, but they switched it up and
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, comes in and it gets covered to to score
Speaker 1: just rips.
Speaker 9: It down the sideline. Yeah, we were all like, oh
Speaker 9: my gosh, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't got to say bench, but yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he yeah, that's all good. Yeah, everybody in the league,
Speaker 1: everybody's everybody.
Speaker 3: Is want of success.
Speaker 9: Trust me, we've all been benched.
Speaker 7: What was.
Speaker 1: That halftime like when they crazy when they pulled Jalen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same thing.
Speaker 9: Like I'm just the scout team quarterback, but like I'm
Speaker 9: dressed out and obviously locked into the game, but like
Speaker 9: I'm here Saban to a Jalen and like our quarterback coach,
Speaker 9: and like Saban just kind of brought us up together
Speaker 9: and was like, look, we're just gonna make a change,
Speaker 9: try and get some momentum here, like we haven't done
Speaker 9: much like to it, You're gonna take the second half.
Speaker 9: And like Jalen was a total pro about it. I
Speaker 9: remember somebody going up to him. It's one of our coaches,
Speaker 9: and we're just like he already knew this. But like
Speaker 9: everyone's gonna be watching you, Jalen, Like you gotta like
Speaker 9: you can't be pissed about this. It sucks right now,
Speaker 9: but at every camera SHOT's gonna be on you ever
Speaker 9: you know, and Jalen's not that type of guy. So
Speaker 9: he handled it really well. And the coolest part about
Speaker 9: this is the next year, when he went back in
Speaker 9: again in the SEC Championship, Two got hurt. So it's
Speaker 9: like it was all full circle anyways, like he ended
Speaker 9: up saving the season for us the next year. But
Speaker 9: he handled it really well and he was happy, like
Speaker 9: he knew that he was a big reason that he was.
Speaker 9: He played every game up into that point, and we
Speaker 9: kind of like saw it a little bit, like, you know,
Speaker 9: we were struggling in the passing game and it was Georgia,
Speaker 9: like we needed They're a really good defense, so we
Speaker 9: needed a spark and two provided that. But he was
Speaker 9: just out there slinging it. He said, like cover two
Speaker 9: whole shots in the game. Okay, that wasn't on the read.
Speaker 1: The back.
Speaker 9: Never mind, that was kind of his personality. And and yeah,
Speaker 9: he went up there, and there's one play in that game.
Speaker 9: I swear Calvin really caught it on the inline and
Speaker 9: like he was not throwing it at the Calvin like
Speaker 9: to like threw it up to somebody, and then Calvin
Speaker 9: just came in the picture and caught it, and I
Speaker 9: was like, dude, you did not mean.
Speaker 2: No, Bro, I did.
Speaker 9: I did, Bro, I telling you so anyways, too was
Speaker 9: like he was awesome and Jalen was awesome too, and
Speaker 9: we have a great like I mean, I wish we
Speaker 9: kind of kept up more now, but we will. Like
Speaker 9: we're all just so busy, like we've been all in
Speaker 9: the league all starting at some point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how is it seeing those guys in the league now?
Speaker 2: Actually, no, it's cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, like Jalen and everybody, like I dap them up
Speaker 9: and to the same thing. Like we played against each
Speaker 9: other a lot when I was in New England and
Speaker 9: but yeah, I like those and I see them on
Speaker 9: crossover tape, so it's like it's really cool. But it
Speaker 9: was a good group, and honestly, it was only US three,
Speaker 9: Like we had a couple walk on quarterbacks, but like
Speaker 9: that was the group. It was US three for a
Speaker 9: couple of years.
Speaker 2: So that was the other thing that was good for me.
Speaker 9: I was like, all right, Jalen's gonna leave transfer and
Speaker 9: then Tua is gonna go to the draft, so eventually
Speaker 9: I'm gonna get my chance. So I kind of had
Speaker 9: that play down in my mind of like when do
Speaker 9: I need to be ready.
Speaker 3: By yeah starter, you know, yeah, how was it when
Speaker 3: you finally get the keys?
Speaker 9: It was great. I think like a lot of people
Speaker 9: in the organization like they were excited for me because
Speaker 9: they were like this dude's been grinding for along with
Speaker 9: everybody else and everyone, let's say, everyone liked me, like
Speaker 9: on the team, and I had a lot of good
Speaker 9: buddies on the team. They were ready for me to
Speaker 9: like play and show what I could do it, Like
Speaker 9: on scout team, like I would dice that shit up.
Speaker 2: You're defense side. There's ten to ten guys in the NFL.
Speaker 3: On the I being a defensive guy, would you guys
Speaker 3: go back and forth to practice when you were the
Speaker 3: scoutsy Like, hey, they don't fucking.
Speaker 9: Do that in the game, Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And he's like they would circle the guy. I would
Speaker 9: never throw it to the circle guy ever, And he
Speaker 9: throw his hat on the thing the.
Speaker 1: Best, Like what's the best ass to you? And you
Speaker 1: got from saving this?
Speaker 9: There's a lot but so like second third year, probably
Speaker 9: second year we're doing like in the game. So at
Speaker 9: Alabama they play crowd noise on like Thursdays to get
Speaker 9: you ready for the game as loud as you can.
Speaker 9: You can't hear. We couldn't be able to talk so loud. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9: So I'm on scout team. We're running through Hill Mary
Speaker 9: full speed practice, full pads, and like he got pretty
Speaker 9: intense leading up to this, like we're dicing him. It's
Speaker 9: third down day and we're in the hill Mary period.
Speaker 9: So it's like, all right, everyone go down there, kind
Speaker 9: of just throw it up, you know, he'll Mary.
Speaker 2: But dude, they line up.
Speaker 9: I've never seen this before. I'm young, but I'm like,
Speaker 9: was like, no one within sixty yards of the guy,
Speaker 9: like anybody on the line of scrimmage. They're all on
Speaker 9: the back, which is some teams do. Anyways, I call
Speaker 9: an audible Derrek Keith. He was a wide receiver. He's
Speaker 9: a coach. Now I like signaled like now like I
Speaker 9: can now pass. So I catch the ball, throw it to.
Speaker 8: Him right away.
Speaker 9: It's supposed to be a hill Mary by the way
Speaker 9: I throw it to him. He takes off, runs down
Speaker 9: the field somehow the guy is new to block the
Speaker 9: people in front of him. Then he cuts it back
Speaker 9: and pitches it back to me, and I score a
Speaker 9: touchdown on a hill Mary drill because I was like,
Speaker 9: oh my god, I just totally screwed up. I'm ruined everything,
Speaker 9: and like I scored spiked it. Like everyone's celebrating. We're
Speaker 9: like dancing, and like I just look back and I
Speaker 9: see Sabin like with his hat, like he slams it
Speaker 9: as hard as I've ever seen someone slam a hat
Speaker 9: and he's yelling at me, but I can't hear him
Speaker 9: because the crowd. I'm like, I don't know what the
Speaker 9: card told me to do that, and like I'm just
Speaker 9: over there making it big it up stuff. But I
Speaker 9: was like, hey, I mean it worked right, Maybe you
Speaker 9: guys should stop it. So, yeah, that's a true story.
Speaker 1: And I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was like we had fun with it.
Speaker 9: I shouldn't have done that. I should have just done
Speaker 9: what the cards said. But that's not cool, you know.
Speaker 2: Just go make a play.
Speaker 9: That's Mexico State's gonna do. Maybe they do something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 9: like they're not they have nothing to lose, So I
Speaker 9: don't know. Hopefully, I don't know. We learned from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna pull that one.
Speaker 3: Out in front the walls.
Speaker 1: Hey, the headiness on the Scout team right there is same.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we had some dogs on the Scout team.
Speaker 1: We were like that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but you guys had dogs everywhere everywhere for sure.
Speaker 3: I don't feel like, what was the year you won
Speaker 3: the Natty? Twenty twenty one, twenty twenty and twenty seventeen, Yeah,
Speaker 3: twenty twenties, but since that was like the COVID year too, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I feel like that team doesn't get like as much
Speaker 3: recognition as the other teams for surecause you guys, what
Speaker 3: did the spis that year? You guys won like all
Speaker 3: of the awards, but it wasn't public. It was like
Speaker 3: on zoom. Yeah, So I just feel like that team
Speaker 3: didn't get a whole lot of shine because you had you,
Speaker 3: Najie Harris, ye.
Speaker 9: Will Anderson certained that certain who else won an award?
Speaker 9: Davante Smith Davante Smith. Yeah, you had Metchi. Yeah, he
Speaker 9: had the Heisman and.
Speaker 3: You were top three in the Heisman, were you?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Yeah, I finished third somehow I should have been
Speaker 9: second second, Trevor, that's one of my guys. But I
Speaker 9: think it was more like what you know, it was
Speaker 9: just a weird year and like he had a good
Speaker 9: year before. I don't know how it all works, but yeah,
Speaker 9: having the like that year was special for me and
Speaker 9: everybody because Saban like he saw it as like his
Speaker 9: biggest challenge yet. Obviously from the outside didn't get a
Speaker 9: lot of coverage maybe or whatever, but we did have fans,
Speaker 9: Like it was pretty like the games were pretty lit,
Speaker 9: Like there was twenty sometimes thirty.
Speaker 2: Thousand you're done in Alabama, Yeah, twenty thousand, Like why
Speaker 2: is there eight people?
Speaker 9: But it was loud, and they like did a.
Speaker 2: Good job with it.
Speaker 9: But it was more like off the field challenges with
Speaker 9: everything going on COVID and all that, and yeah, Saban
Speaker 9: like navigated it so well. You had like everything was
Speaker 9: on zoom and it's just hard, Like he's he's an
Speaker 9: old school guy, like he wants to be in person
Speaker 9: and being on zoom is not easy for.
Speaker 8: Him, you know, like you wanted to be.
Speaker 9: So anyways, we eventually got together and we had a
Speaker 9: great leadership group that year. Like you said, like it
Speaker 9: was ten guys who were first round picks.
Speaker 1: Pretty much that this photo right here is just hilarious,
Speaker 1: you know, save it's pissed off.
Speaker 9: Yeah, like you can see a good amount of fans
Speaker 9: and yeah.
Speaker 1: That's about it's back to the brim all these guys
Speaker 1: testing protocol like in twenty twenty.
Speaker 9: Oh it was crazy. Yeah, I mean they got us
Speaker 9: every day and oh they did yeah, okay, yeah it
Speaker 9: was legit. It was legit. But I don't know. Me
Speaker 9: and DeVante Smith are the only ones that didn't test positive.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 9: It's so serious, dude, Like I was like same with
Speaker 9: the guys. I was like, nobody go out, like we're
Speaker 9: not doing that ship. Like everyone's staying your ship and
Speaker 9: like be like this is our year pretty much, like
Speaker 9: we can beat everybody that we're playing against. But people
Speaker 9: don't realize we played all SEC schedule, Like what there
Speaker 9: was no New Mexico States on there, Like like we're
Speaker 9: going against Ole Miss in the next week, Texas, A
Speaker 9: and M Like we had to be on our stuff,
Speaker 9: and I think people underestimated that part of it, Like
Speaker 9: no one's ever done that. Obviously it's COVID, but like,
Speaker 9: no one's gonna ever play an all SEC schedule again,
Speaker 9: Like that was crazy, and every week was like an
Speaker 9: NFL game. Opinion, So that was kind of cool.
Speaker 3: No doubt.
Speaker 1: After the season, you're looking at your going to the draft.
Speaker 1: There's a big argument taking place about who's gonna go
Speaker 1: at three? U or Trey Lance? Were you feeling that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: pressure at all? I like I kind of want to
Speaker 1: go to the forty nine. Did you meet with them
Speaker 1: at all? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I got a lot of I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: You're bringing up there?
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, And that was a big thing. I remember
Speaker 9: like all the hype leading up to it. But yeah,
Speaker 9: I think everything happens for a reason, Like I'm here
Speaker 9: where I'm at now. And I did think, like, all right,
Speaker 9: they traded up for somebody, and I knew it was
Speaker 9: one of two people when I was one of the people, right,
Speaker 9: So I guess if you're gambling, man, it's fifty to
Speaker 9: fifty year you know. Yeah, shot at the start, and
Speaker 9: I felt like I had really good interviews, Like Kyle
Speaker 9: really liked like what I was doing on zoom. My
Speaker 9: zoom setup was incredible, Like I had the white board
Speaker 9: and like all the right shit, like I'm gonna do
Speaker 9: this right. Yeah, So like I had it all like
Speaker 9: and I would go in there and show tape and
Speaker 9: try and show him how like what my superpower is,
Speaker 9: which is like my ability to process and be smart
Speaker 9: and also like rip it and like show him that
Speaker 9: I have that side of me too, So I think
Speaker 9: I had good interviews and leading up to it, I
Speaker 9: was like feeling good about it. And I met with
Speaker 9: a bunch of teams and a lot of teams thought
Speaker 9: I was gonna be gone, so they didn't even meet
Speaker 9: with me. Like yeah, so anyway, so like the day
Speaker 9: comes and I ended up not getting picked by them
Speaker 9: and didn't really know, like it was fifty to fifty,
Speaker 9: like we really didn't and they went with Trey, which
Speaker 9: is which is fine, and Trey, I know, Trey's a
Speaker 9: good dude. And I think Kyle like he really wanted
Speaker 9: me to get back and back there somehow, like when
Speaker 9: I went to New England, I mean through this past year,
Speaker 9: I'm sure you've had so for sure even should yeah,
Speaker 9: for sure, And I was like, I mean maybe not three.
Speaker 9: You could have just picked me at twelve, you know,
Speaker 9: it's like I don't know, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 9: worth three first round ship.
Speaker 2: But no, like that was part of it.
Speaker 9: And then when I was at fifteen, like the Saints
Speaker 9: were trying to trade up to get me, and like
Speaker 9: Carolina wanted me, but they didn't. I was at desiniable
Speaker 9: with them. They were picked eight, but they thought I
Speaker 9: was going to be gone, so they panicked and they
Speaker 9: didn't pick me at eight, so I was I kept
Speaker 9: going down and I knew I wasn't gonna get past
Speaker 9: the Saints. I feel like they really wanted to like
Speaker 9: be be there, you know. So yeah, I think they
Speaker 9: were like seventeenth pick or something. I don't know, but anyways,
Speaker 9: it all works out for a reason. And I think
Speaker 9: even the year I got traded, they were trying to
Speaker 9: get me back in San Francisco from Patriots to Jaguars.
Speaker 9: So they were trying to get me to San Francisco then,
Speaker 9: but they ended up not doing it.
Speaker 1: But never gave up on the dream.
Speaker 9: Many came and I'm like I could pick now. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's been a crazy like journey or whatever. And like
Speaker 9: people can criticize the pick or picking me, not picking me, whatever,
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter. I think it all happens for a reason, Like, yeah,
Speaker 9: it's all good and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like where you sit right now, you're in an
Speaker 1: incredible spot that we've in recent history where guys just
Speaker 1: have completely flourished. Yeah, for sure, But when you get drafted,
Speaker 1: you get drafted by the Patriots, you are essentially the
Speaker 1: guy like this is the guy that's replacing Tom Brady
Speaker 1: long term, Like how exciting was that moment? And then
Speaker 1: was there like a moment of like, oh fuck the
Speaker 1: goat goats.
Speaker 9: The good news is I replaced Cam Newton.
Speaker 8: So I'm just kidding.
Speaker 5: Four and.
Speaker 3: Something is a game manager.
Speaker 9: Was the man like and I learned like our personalities
Speaker 9: are not but we're both like outgoing and fun and
Speaker 9: not to sidetrack. I'll go back to the draft thing,
Speaker 9: but you you go wherever you want to. But Cam,
Speaker 9: like Cam was so awesome and I kind of like
Speaker 9: got that joy, Like I played with a lot of
Speaker 9: joy and like he plays a lot of joy. And
Speaker 9: he was a great mentor. We were together quickly. But
Speaker 9: I don't know, he was awesome, so I have nothing
Speaker 9: bad to say about him. Like he was a man,
Speaker 9: funny and worked his butt off. Like I got there early,
Speaker 9: like a couple of specimens. Yeah, he would get there
Speaker 9: at like I get there at you know, five am.
Speaker 9: He's there at four thirty, fully sweaty. I'm like, I
Speaker 9: need to beat this guy here. And I kept going down.
Speaker 9: I was like, maybe he gets here at like five thirty,
Speaker 9: So I went down at five thirty, he was still there,
Speaker 9: like I could never get him, you know, and he
Speaker 9: was always on the treadmill just like Swoll like in
Speaker 9: the morning sweating.
Speaker 3: Just look like Cam Newton.
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly, figure dude, absolutely, he's a man. So but anyways,
Speaker 9: like yeah, you can see, like look at the difference.
Speaker 9: It looks like a high school kid. And then you
Speaker 9: got Cam Newton, the really humbly Yeah. So when I
Speaker 9: got picked there, obviously like with the Tom Brady stuff,
Speaker 9: and there was a lot of like there was some
Speaker 9: added pressure for sure. And I was so young, like
Speaker 9: let me look at me there, like I just look young.
Speaker 9: I don't know I was. I feel like I was
Speaker 9: still maturing and like still needed time. And it was
Speaker 9: good for me to go there. And I love mister
Speaker 9: Kraft and the organization, like they really did. The start
Speaker 9: of it was really good, Like our first year was good,
Speaker 9: Josh McDaniels awesome. You know, we went to the playoffs
Speaker 9: like all that stuff, but there was like that like
Speaker 9: playoffs isn't good enough, you know, like go to the
Speaker 9: next steps. I'm like, let's let's build this, you know.
Speaker 9: Year two and that's kind of when it just went
Speaker 9: crazy downhill. But yeah, replacing Tom was like a definitely
Speaker 9: a narrative and I try not to like pay attention
Speaker 9: to it. I try to just play my game. And
Speaker 9: I'm not Tom Brady. I never will be, and like
Speaker 9: he's the best player to ever play. So it's like
Speaker 9: it was tough, Like you're always gonna have the expectation.
Speaker 3: Of, Yeah, how that week Tom comes back to Foxville.
Speaker 9: Yeah that was that was Like that was that was
Speaker 9: awesome because they were calling it like the game of
Speaker 9: the century. I just feel like the lead up was
Speaker 9: really cool. Yeah, it was a night game, like sold
Speaker 9: out tickets were going for like you know, four or
Speaker 9: five thousand dollars whatever, and then everyone's typing it in
Speaker 9: the media, and I tried to stay off social media
Speaker 9: during the season and stuff, so like, you know, it's
Speaker 9: all about Tom and Tom and Tom, and I'm like, shit,
Speaker 9: I got nothing to lose here. I was just gonna
Speaker 9: go out there and sling it, and I did. I
Speaker 9: played decently well in like that stadium. That was the
Speaker 9: most like electric stadium I've been in, because like it
Speaker 9: was a good game back and forth. They ended up
Speaker 9: scoring later or whatever, and we could have we really
Speaker 9: could have won. We missed a like I mean, we
Speaker 9: didn't miss anything. Nick Fole barely missed like a fifty
Speaker 9: something yardfield goal in the rain, and we had to
Speaker 9: drop on like the play before, So we would have
Speaker 9: if we wouldn't nailed that and be tom I mean,
Speaker 9: who knows like that. Yeah, And like the first couple
Speaker 9: of games we lost, like it was the same thing,
Speaker 9: like we fumbled or I threw a pick, like it
Speaker 9: was all last possession. So we could have been like
Speaker 9: six and oh going into that game or whatever and building.
Speaker 8: But I don't know it was.
Speaker 9: It was lit for sure.
Speaker 3: It was before the field goal. It was a drop ball.
Speaker 3: It was a bad through. Trying to think.
Speaker 9: Is that. I think it was like Jacobe, it kind
Speaker 9: of like slipped through on like a slant or something. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it might have been a bad ball right here, Oh
Speaker 9: ship it got tipped my bad oh there. But anyways,
Speaker 9: that's what happened.
Speaker 1: It was a tip ball.
Speaker 9: It seems wide open, so at least get the first
Speaker 9: I was gonna clock it or call the time out,
Speaker 9: you know, maybe get a couple more yards, just inch
Speaker 9: it up for Nick and then we would have nailed it.
Speaker 9: By me, barely, like that was a great kick. It
Speaker 9: hit the upright the rain like it was just would
Speaker 9: have been iconic. But it's all good. It's all it's
Speaker 9: all meant for a reason. And like I remember leading
Speaker 9: up to that game, it was just super hype and
Speaker 9: I try to just minimize all those distractions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's obviously you want to minimize distraction to be
Speaker 1: present in the moment all of those things. But when
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is coming back to his old house and
Speaker 1: you happen to own that house, yeah, it's got to
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, just the moment you get on the
Speaker 1: field and like it was there an interaction pregame. I
Speaker 1: mean you're staring at me.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm like, let's party, bro.
Speaker 3: He was like kind of like that.
Speaker 1: But you're throwing the ball like you were warming up
Speaker 1: and you're throwing the ball in your side and he
Speaker 1: didn't see you one on this one, because there's gotta
Speaker 1: be like, I mean, it's fucking Tom. We're talking out
Speaker 1: of practice and they're like, hey, do you want to
Speaker 1: meet Tom Brady?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I love to, and like as like I'm like talking
Speaker 1: to my wife. She like backs away. I look and
Speaker 1: there's like this golden aura. Yeah, like the media is
Speaker 1: like partying the Red Sea.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 1: I get to shake his head. I can't imagine it's
Speaker 1: like you in this situation.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was like, this is this is crazy. It
Speaker 9: definitely felt video gamish, But I also was like I
Speaker 9: spent a lot of time my mental game and I
Speaker 9: was talking to my people and they were just like, look,
Speaker 9: you're going against Tom Brady, but you're going against the
Speaker 9: Bucks defense. Like it's not just don't worry about that
Speaker 9: part of it. That's not You're part like you do
Speaker 9: your job, focused on the Bucks. Eventually was really good
Speaker 9: and let the game play out how it's going to
Speaker 9: play out, and that's it ended up with what happened.
Speaker 9: It was just a game, inches but it was cool,
Speaker 9: like walking out there and he had like he had
Speaker 9: signs for him and then you know, I still had
Speaker 9: some signs in jury. It was just cool. It was
Speaker 9: like a y and I was like, this is crazy.
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly so, and things were going well at the time,
Speaker 9: so there was a lot of energy and I just
Speaker 9: remember like I was at the stadium all day. I
Speaker 9: got there and slept, That's what I usually did at
Speaker 9: night games. So like they had a room for me
Speaker 9: with an air mattress and I would just sleep. So
Speaker 9: I slept all day leading up to that game, just
Speaker 9: like you know, those late games sucks sometimes, and I
Speaker 9: didn't want to worry about traffic. I hate like driving stuff.
Speaker 9: So I got there early and slept all day, so
Speaker 9: I was ready to play by the time it came.
Speaker 9: And I felt good and had a good game, good
Speaker 9: enough game give us a chance to win. That's all
Speaker 9: I cared about, is can I get us to like
Speaker 9: have a chance to beat Tom Brady? Like that'd be sick,
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like you got your eighteen hours of sleeping.
Speaker 1: Oh I did.
Speaker 2: Really hard.
Speaker 1: But you should have hit him with like a hey,
Speaker 1: mister Brady, can I have that jersey after the game?
Speaker 1: You should have asked him for it. That have been sick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: He's just sitting there and be like you just just
Speaker 1: signed out on the field, never really asked.
Speaker 9: I don't know. I feel like he's he probably doesn't
Speaker 9: hand those out too often, but I should have maybe
Speaker 9: got one at some point.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, if there's a guy to ask
Speaker 1: for it, you could have.
Speaker 10: Been no doubt I was losing a game. Yeah, in
Speaker 10: front of Billy b No doubt Billy's not having the
Speaker 10: person on the selfish just got to take over, like.
Speaker 1: I kind of need this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it was a rookie.
Speaker 9: I was just like trying to survive. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 9: want to like overstep and ship. I don't know, but
Speaker 9: that was cool. And like traffic on the way home
Speaker 9: just like took like hours. It was a lit Yeah,
Speaker 9: it was a crazy day, you know, and then you
Speaker 9: gotta jump down traffic. That's awesome, just to hey once
Speaker 9: again to specim after it. Yeah, not to take a
Speaker 9: turn in negative town. But you said you're two. That's
Speaker 9: when the wheels really started to fall off a little bit.
Speaker 9: What about that season for you? Nothing was really going
Speaker 9: right mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird.
Speaker 9: It was I felt like I wanted to build, like
Speaker 9: and I wasn't satisfied, and nobody on our team was
Speaker 9: was like going to the playoffs and getting our butts kicked. Like,
Speaker 9: but we did build something kind of cool. Early played
Speaker 9: good on offense, like we were top probably ten offense whatever.
Speaker 9: Our defense was really good. So I was like, all right,
Speaker 9: let's build this. And Josh McDaniels ended up leaving. That
Speaker 9: was kind of step one. Thanks Josh, But I get it,
Speaker 9: like he obviously coached us and got that chance to
Speaker 9: be a head coach again and that's what he wanted
Speaker 9: to do, and good for him. But like that thing
Speaker 9: that really affected me because I felt like if if
Speaker 9: I could have just built on the year before, it
Speaker 9: would have really helped me and everybody on the team.
Speaker 9: But anyway, so that happened, and yeah, some other stuff happened,
Speaker 9: like with like bringing it. We didn't know who were
Speaker 9: going to hire, and I was a little worried about that,
Speaker 9: kind of like going back to college where I wanted
Speaker 9: to have that consistency and yeah, my coach, you know,
Speaker 9: and obviously build interview people or whatever. And I just
Speaker 9: felt like we didn't click early in OTAs and it
Speaker 9: just you could kind of see it trending. And I
Speaker 9: was just a second year player, so I didn't really
Speaker 9: like say much or do much a little bit, but
Speaker 9: like Brian Hoyer was the backup and he was kind
Speaker 9: of like looking at me, like trying to like keep
Speaker 9: me in it, but we were kind of like this
Speaker 9: is not going to be good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like.
Speaker 9: So we ended up hiring nobody. So we ended up
Speaker 9: staying in the house with Matty p and Joe Judge.
Speaker 9: Oh that's when Patricia was yeah right, yeah, So at first,
Speaker 9: what's he referring to?
Speaker 3: I kind of can't remember, yeah, but I remember that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So at first Bill was like like gonna call the place,
Speaker 9: which I was like, all right, it's kind of fun
Speaker 9: see how this goes. And he's like obviously great defensive guy,
Speaker 9: and like, I don't know. I was like, all right,
Speaker 9: Bill wants to take it over. Good for him, he
Speaker 9: has six Super Bowls, he can do it ever he once, right, yeah,
Speaker 9: and I'll trust it and maybe it's good. But like
Speaker 9: he took it over, and we kind of like didn't
Speaker 9: know where we were going, you know, like there were
Speaker 9: three people in the meet, like who stands up to
Speaker 9: talk to the offense? Like they didn't really know is
Speaker 9: it Joe Judge, is it Bill? Is it Maddy Pe?
Speaker 9: So anyways, there was just a lot of like it's
Speaker 9: like a collaborative yeah, I guess, yeah, which is like
Speaker 9: I get when you're trying to like experiment ots. We
Speaker 9: got close to the season and it ended up Matty
Speaker 9: Pee and Joe Judge like they were switching off. It's
Speaker 9: like preseason. Yeah, like they were doing some and then
Speaker 9: I think Bill was in there a little bit, like
Speaker 9: just having him like, hey call this play here, so
Speaker 9: they were experimenting. I didn't play much in the preseason,
Speaker 9: but anyway, so we ended up Maddy p ended up
Speaker 9: calling them. But like we like changed our entire offense
Speaker 9: like a week before the season, and I was like
Speaker 9: kind of back to what we did my first year,
Speaker 9: but we weren't practicing that, so it was like really
Speaker 9: hard for everybody. We had veteran guys like Hunter Henry
Speaker 9: and Jacobe Myers and stuff, so we were good, but
Speaker 9: I didn't feel great about it going in and that
Speaker 9: was tough for me because I was navigating that along
Speaker 9: with like getting ready for another defense, like you're going
Speaker 9: against I think we played the Dolphins the first game
Speaker 9: of the year, but I just didn't feel clean for me,
Speaker 9: you know, And we actually like kind of started at
Speaker 9: least figuring out we were really only a couple of
Speaker 9: plays away from making it to the playoffs, which is crazy.
Speaker 9: People don't realize that that year. But it was just
Speaker 9: a weird year. It didn't feel you know what I'm
Speaker 9: saying like clean and Chris, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Anytime you have two coaches standing up in front of
Speaker 1: a room, taking turns speaking and being.
Speaker 9: Like the head of the offense, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: And I mean you had a great operation year one.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was Alabama where it's nothing but operation for sure,
Speaker 3: and then when you're experiencing this collaborative effort in year two,
Speaker 3: it's kind of like.
Speaker 9: Yeah you yeah, like Rocky, Yeah it was there, Rosy,
Speaker 9: it was I'm not hating on Bill or Maddy p
Speaker 9: or Joe Judge, like they all coach a lot of football,
Speaker 9: but it's just hard when you're like if you're not
Speaker 9: you're a defensive guy, like imagine you're just like all right,
Speaker 9: go call plays. Yeah, it's hard. Probably, so I think
Speaker 9: they knew it. I think we all kind of saw
Speaker 9: it on the walls. But it was tough, Like I
Speaker 9: didn't want to cross anybody in a bad way, but
Speaker 9: I was frustrated because and I was young, Like there
Speaker 9: was a lot of variables here, and yeah it all
Speaker 9: started with Josh leaving, so thanks Josh. But they were
Speaker 9: like we ended up figuring it out enough to where
Speaker 9: I don't know, like we pieced together and Mattie p
Speaker 9: like grind it with me, Like we would go in
Speaker 9: the indoor and call plays together and like work on it.
Speaker 9: But it was just never good if you were I
Speaker 9: didn't play grade either.
Speaker 1: So you're like, you're clearly like in a great position
Speaker 1: now where you're you're setting yourself up for. But if
Speaker 1: you go back to that year two, what would you different?
Speaker 1: Would you be a bit more vocal about what you
Speaker 1: needed to like be a better football player.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a great question. I thought about that.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I think I think we kind of tried early and
Speaker 9: it was kind of like just stop, you know what
Speaker 9: was in your was he in your like hey, you
Speaker 9: need to be vocal? He was like He's like, look, dude,
Speaker 9: like we respect you, and like Hunter Henry, like these
Speaker 9: older guys were kind of like the younger guys don't
Speaker 9: know any better. The rookies are just like, oh, we'll
Speaker 9: do whatever, you know. But they were like they were
Speaker 9: kind of pushing me to be like, all right, you
Speaker 9: do something about it. So I guess, looking back on it,
Speaker 9: I should have been more like vocal about it, but
Speaker 9: I don't know. I was a second year player, and.
Speaker 1: For me it's such a weird.
Speaker 9: Like now it would have been like hello, like we're
Speaker 9: not doing that, Like ye six, I'm like, that's the
Speaker 9: dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 3: And even the staff if it was now would probably
Speaker 3: not that they didn't respect you, but there's just more
Speaker 3: of a collaboration. Yeah, because when you're that staff and
Speaker 3: you've won, however many super Bowls one at a time.
Speaker 9: So yeah, it really affected my career, to be honest,
Speaker 9: because like like I said, I didn't play my best football,
Speaker 9: but it was I don't know if playing my best
Speaker 9: football was even in the car. Yeah, in that situation.
Speaker 3: Next year, I assume it gets even more frustrating because
Speaker 3: then it's the back and forth where you're going back
Speaker 3: and forth from the bench with Bailey Zappi.
Speaker 9: R Yeah for sure. Yeah, And like I got hurt
Speaker 9: that that second year, and like we were slinging the
Speaker 9: ball around a little bit, but I got hurt, So
Speaker 9: like that messed everything up and then there were some
Speaker 9: weird dynamics there. I don't know, it was just really weird.
Speaker 9: The communication wasn't great, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: All I gotta say, how was your relationship with Zappie
Speaker 1: when all this stuff is taking taking place.
Speaker 8: It was weird.
Speaker 9: I think, like honestly, it was weird for both of us.
Speaker 9: Like we're both young and it was really the second
Speaker 9: year or two we had like Maddy p and stuff
Speaker 9: like I don't know, like he went in there and
Speaker 9: played really good, which is awesome. And it was weird
Speaker 9: though because it was like that was my team, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I felt like that I still deserved that shot and
Speaker 9: like my team, and it just felt weird like there's
Speaker 9: two guys, you know, but Zappie like he was cool,
Speaker 9: like he worked hard and I don't know, like that's
Speaker 9: pretty much like we weren't like really close friends or anything. Yeah,
Speaker 9: that competition. Yeah, like the fans in the media, Yeah,
Speaker 9: they were like bros. Yeah, and they were like blowing
Speaker 9: and I'm they were like blowing it up in the
Speaker 9: media and stuff. So it was just like kind of sloppy.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and if the communications not great too, it's yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just awkward. Like I took over for Perry Riley
Speaker 3: and Washington. It was kind of like just happened that
Speaker 3: practice and there was zero kind of communication about it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just felt awkward for sure. Yeah, taking the taking
Speaker 3: this new spot knowing like he doesn't have any explanation
Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, I've also gotten benched where it was
Speaker 3: just like it just happens fast. Yeah, and then the
Speaker 3: dude's taking over and then you're in the room and
Speaker 3: you're trying to just figure out, you know, the teammate relationship,
Speaker 3: just all of it exactly. It's just a lot on when.
Speaker 9: You're young too, like you have tunnel vision, like you're
Speaker 9: trying to focus on your stuff and yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 9: like we I saw him at the end of the
Speaker 9: game last year. He's on the Browns at the time,
Speaker 9: like tapped him up, like we're cool. But you know
Speaker 9: it is like, yeah, awkward, like it was a bad year.
Speaker 9: We didn't win that many games, Like there was a
Speaker 9: lot of media hype between like the battle of what
Speaker 9: was going on.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 9: It's just tough like first and second year players pretty much.
Speaker 1: When you have that that tunnel vision, because when you're young,
Speaker 1: that main character Synshyp is like bigger than ever, Like
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out your legacy, your story is
Speaker 1: going to go. I want to reach X, Y and
Speaker 1: Z and if this, if this was just taking place
Speaker 1: like you're like both of your situations. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: there has to be some forethought from the coaches standpoint,
Speaker 1: be like, oh, we got to make sure that there's
Speaker 1: not a riff with any players. We should definitely explain
Speaker 1: a lot more of what's going on, not just seem
Speaker 1: like everything's just an impulsive move like that, because if
Speaker 1: you're if you're in year two, I was ever in
Speaker 1: this position, but like if someone just came and benched
Speaker 1: me right away, clearly I'm gonna feel someway And it
Speaker 1: takes one of us lowering our ego to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: by the way, like, yeah, I don't want things to
Speaker 1: be weird between us. Obviously I hate the situation, of course,
Speaker 1: but how often does that happen in a locker room
Speaker 1: when everyone's always posturing and playing that game with you in.
Speaker 3: The game moves so fast.
Speaker 9: It's like even if you're a head coach, it's like
Speaker 9: you're there's a billion decisions you're having to make through
Speaker 9: this definitely through the day, through the course of a day,
Speaker 9: to where you just tell the position coach, hey, we
Speaker 9: need to make this move happen. The position coach is
Speaker 9: like fuck, like it's.
Speaker 3: Got to come. It's got to come through me. You
Speaker 3: tell them you're running awkward meetings. You're kind of like
Speaker 3: your hands are tack because you have a job for sure,
Speaker 3: for the bigger pictures of the head coach. Like I
Speaker 3: wish you would this spot. Now we're all in this
Speaker 3: weird spot.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And like I got hurt and we played the
Speaker 9: Bears and I was ready to play, but they were
Speaker 9: kind of like not like we're gonna like alternate you guys.
Speaker 9: And I was like, I just went to the Pro
Speaker 9: Bowl last year, Like I wasn't terrible in my first
Speaker 9: couple of games. Yeah, and like I'm not proven. I'm
Speaker 9: not saying like I arrived, but like at least let
Speaker 9: me have a chance to go back. Yeah already, Like
Speaker 9: I didn't play a game, but I played three games
Speaker 9: since my last season.
Speaker 2: We lost.
Speaker 9: We were like one and two or whatever, Like we're
Speaker 9: still in it. I mean, you're not football in September.
Speaker 9: Doesn't like you know how it goes.
Speaker 2: You want to play it at the end. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: give me a chance here. And it was just weird.
Speaker 9: It was like in the hallway kind of just all right,
Speaker 9: we're gonna rotate and I'm like, wait, what's going on?
Speaker 9: It's always confused.
Speaker 1: And I was like you yeah reaction, You're like, yes, sir, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean go and compartmentalized cried the bathroom.
Speaker 9: No, I'm like, oh yes, sir, absolutely, maximoted twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: Max like came, mom, I need you to come to
Speaker 3: the coach's office right now and let his as.
Speaker 9: She was, so we're bitching my son, cry sorry, I'm
Speaker 9: you really getting into this. I haven't really talked about
Speaker 9: this before anyways, let it happen. Yeah, we were one.
Speaker 9: So I got hurt Baltimore in the last play through
Speaker 9: for two thirds whatever like the stats or whatever. We're
Speaker 9: one and we're one and two and I got hurt.
Speaker 9: And then I come back for the Bears game and
Speaker 9: I played like the first couple of drives and then
Speaker 9: it was it.
Speaker 1: Was kind of it was like the first couple of drives.
Speaker 1: I started the game.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I started the game, and then they were like
Speaker 9: all right, yeah, and it wasn't great. But I don't know,
Speaker 9: so I get it. I get it all like you
Speaker 9: want to, but like you said, it's just weird.
Speaker 3: But even when that frustration builds, I want to say
Speaker 3: there were even moments where it's like there was even
Speaker 3: people are trying to make headlines about like for sh
Speaker 3: interactions with you and and Belichick on the sideline. Definitely
Speaker 3: things are going on.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and like I tried to be a good teammate
Speaker 9: about it, like it's tough, but I was like, let's
Speaker 9: keep winning, and that's all I really care about. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's like deep down inside, of course I want to play,
Speaker 9: but I try to be a great backup. Like that's
Speaker 9: what I do now. I'm a backup quarterback right now.
Speaker 9: And I don't know, like I think I've proven that.
Speaker 9: For some reason, it got portrayed the other way, like
Speaker 9: I was like a bad teammate or something and all that,
Speaker 9: which I don't think was true. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 9: most guys enjoyed playing with me. Like did I play
Speaker 9: great during that rocky years? No? But like do the
Speaker 9: guys like me and respect me? I think they did,
Speaker 9: you know, And that's what I really cared about. So
Speaker 9: and obviously winning is important to me, and we didn't
Speaker 9: do that. And I get what some of the decisions
Speaker 9: that they made, but I also don't get a lot
Speaker 9: of them either.
Speaker 1: So did you ever did you ever pull the U
Speaker 1: the legendary player called coach meeting when you go up
Speaker 1: to the coach but head you if I get him to.
Speaker 9: Bill, Yeah, I mean we had some conversations.
Speaker 1: Was he more transparent with you? Because the last as
Speaker 1: is like the way Bill is portrayed in the media
Speaker 1: of his like he's like the hoodie on with the cutoff.
Speaker 1: He's very like does doesn't seem like he gives a
Speaker 1: shit about anything else other than just like the EXODSI vide. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're at the RAMS facility and there was two
Speaker 1: undrafted free Asian offensive linemen from North Carolina and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: Bill's awesome and the building they loved, like his personality
Speaker 1: with that. So for me, I was like kind of
Speaker 1: thinking back, like, oh, Bill's got a little something to him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: So you did you like call him in We're like,
Speaker 1: was he a little more transparent about thought process?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 9: No, I felt like early, like the first year was great,
Speaker 9: like we would eat breakfast sometimes together and like hang
Speaker 9: out and get to know each other. And then I
Speaker 9: don't know what happened and just kind of like switched
Speaker 9: a little bit. And but yeah, he's he has a personality,
Speaker 9: like he was funny, has good jokes in the meetings,
Speaker 9: like people laughed as jokes, and like we would kind
Speaker 9: of like choke on the field a little bit. But
Speaker 9: I don't know it just like the personalities were so different,
Speaker 9: Like that's me kind of like outgoing and energetic, you know,
Speaker 9: and like dancing field. It just didn't really make that.
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly, Yeah that was a big thing. Like but anyways,
Speaker 9: I don't know. I think it was we got pissed
Speaker 9: that you hit the gritty. Oh yeah, he was pissed. Yeah,
Speaker 9: and the team he got pissed.
Speaker 1: I did it one time, and yeah we had a
Speaker 1: good time. I danced once and he yelled at me.
Speaker 9: Yeah exactly, but it was like I hit it the
Speaker 9: next year during the season or something versus Baltimore. Anyways,
Speaker 9: he was like he was showing the highlight like I
Speaker 9: ran it in or whatever. And then like I was gritting,
Speaker 9: but like my teammates were all like behind me, like
Speaker 9: dancing and stuff. He's like just running away from your teammates,
Speaker 9: Like what do we do in here?
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, coach, I'm dancing. We're having a good time.
Speaker 2: It's like you didn't understand that like it was.
Speaker 9: Part of the hype, you know, but yeah, he does
Speaker 9: have a good personality and like, look like was it
Speaker 9: the best thing in New England with us? No, but
Speaker 9: he is the best coach to ever coach, Like I'm
Speaker 9: I respect that, and do I respect all the decisions
Speaker 9: that either him or I did or didn't do, Like
Speaker 9: it is what it is, you know. Yeah, And I
Speaker 9: think I'm not going to sit here and hate on him,
Speaker 9: you know, like it's not me. And I think that
Speaker 9: he taught me a lot about defense, I'll say that
Speaker 9: for sure, And like he was a good leader. I
Speaker 9: learned a lot from like the leadership meetings with like
Speaker 9: Devin mccordy and Matthew Slater and David Andrews. Like I
Speaker 9: learned about a lot about leadership there. So yeah, it
Speaker 9: was it was good, Like I take, I try to
Speaker 9: take the good things and bring it with me and
Speaker 9: leave the bad things behind.
Speaker 3: Was it a breath of fresh air getting traded to Jacksonville?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2: Going back home was cool. Yeah it was good.
Speaker 9: Like I felt like that that era was over for sure,
Speaker 9: Like it was time for me to try something new.
Speaker 9: And yeah, I still wanted to become a better player
Speaker 9: and like learn from a different system and get in
Speaker 9: get back home was good for me being around my family. Yeah,
Speaker 9: Jackson was cool, Like still have really good buddies down there,
Speaker 9: Like Trevor and I are close. Cavee Davis was awesome.
Speaker 9: We're still friends. Christian Kirk's on my team now, cam
Speaker 9: little like, so there's guys that I really enjoyed and
Speaker 9: we're still close friends. So that was cool for me.
Speaker 9: And I liked the coaches too, like Doug Doug Peterson awesome,
Speaker 9: great guy. Like they were kind of on the outs
Speaker 9: because there's a lot of pressure to make the playoffs
Speaker 9: that year, and we didn't.
Speaker 1: We just same thing.
Speaker 9: We got off to a rough start, Like I feel
Speaker 9: like we could have been five and one. It was,
Speaker 9: but that's NFL, right, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Could have been this, you know, it's always like one series,
Speaker 3: like it really was.
Speaker 9: And like we fumbled against Miami and we were to
Speaker 9: beat Miami, we'd been one to oh then, like we
Speaker 9: just didn't stack those those like little moments, and we
Speaker 9: had a really good roster, like it's the same roster
Speaker 9: they had last year pretty much besides a few guys.
Speaker 9: So I learned a lot and it was good to
Speaker 9: be home. And they have a great facility down there.
Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys have been there, but
Speaker 9: the new facility in Jacksonville's freaking awesome. Shut up, Yeah,
Speaker 9: they got a great spot.
Speaker 1: How was it for you mentally when you're making when
Speaker 1: you go down to Jacksonville, clearly like your first round pick,
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of whispers or team on people
Speaker 1: are negative about your career, like for sure, where were
Speaker 1: you at from a mental standpoint?
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's good. It's a good question. I think it
Speaker 9: was hard for me because I was so like trying
Speaker 9: to prove people that I can play, like I know
Speaker 9: I can do this, and I put like maybe a
Speaker 9: little bit too much pressure. Plus you got the added
Speaker 9: pressure of like being home. You know. It's like I
Speaker 9: didn't have a couple of good years, but I feel
Speaker 9: like I can still do this, So I'm in the
Speaker 9: right situation. And I don't know, Just like I said,
Speaker 9: things didn't go our way. The first time I touched
Speaker 9: the ball, we were like two and seven. You know.
Speaker 9: It's one of those years, you know, And at that
Speaker 9: point I was like I'm gonna go out there and
Speaker 9: sling it and like put some good tape out there
Speaker 9: and try and win some games. And I mean we
Speaker 9: didn't really do much better. I think we were whatever
Speaker 9: two and five or two and six by the end,
Speaker 9: but we were in a couple of games that like
Speaker 9: we should have won, and I did put good enough
Speaker 9: tape out there. I think that's why just going a
Speaker 9: couple of other teams were like, I mean, there is
Speaker 9: some good stuff out there. Obviously it's a tough situation,
Speaker 9: but I feel like I put too much pressure on
Speaker 9: myself to like prove everybody like I'm still the guy
Speaker 9: I can still play. And then this last year I
Speaker 9: was like, that's when it kind of all came together.
Speaker 9: But that was how Jacksonville was for me. Like I said, great,
Speaker 9: great people, great staff, facility, everything was awesome. So but yeah,
Speaker 9: I was like when free agency came, I was like,
Speaker 9: maybe they bring me back, but they didn't end up
Speaker 9: doing that because like me and Trevor got along well,
Speaker 9: they just they got a new regime. So it's like
Speaker 9: Liam did a great job there. And I see Liam
Speaker 9: all the time, like around the city and stuff, so
Speaker 9: he seems a great He's a beast.
Speaker 1: Rough start to his career.
Speaker 9: Did you see that when they said he like cut
Speaker 9: his hair on.
Speaker 3: That wasn't release thing. Yeah, to schedule at least I
Speaker 3: eliminated from the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were seeing their praises in the season.
Speaker 3: To keep your eyes on the Jags. Man, not this year. Actually,
Speaker 3: now that I say that, I still like I'm.
Speaker 1: About the playoffs. Actually, now that I've thought about the
Speaker 1: two seconds back.
Speaker 3: Make believer in Liam Cohen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, believe got some answers. He's got some answers.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you guys like him for real.
Speaker 3: I don't know whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he seems like he's got them on the
Speaker 1: right track.
Speaker 9: I agree.
Speaker 1: This is I mean, I played for the Titans. We
Speaker 1: got two titansos in the back here. It's tough to
Speaker 1: say that out loud. Of course, of course it seems
Speaker 1: like the Jaguars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like everyone talked about Vrabel and coach Johnson
Speaker 3: in their rookie years of being a head coach, but
Speaker 3: Liam was They did damn near the same thing for sure.
Speaker 3: And we interviewed, We went out to McVeigh in l A.
Speaker 3: And mcveigh's mcvay's high on Liam.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he seems like you like I was at some restaurant.
Speaker 9: He was there.
Speaker 1: We were talking like he just he gets football.
Speaker 9: I can tell. Like some guys you don't really know,
Speaker 9: you know, like coaches, there may be more like leader
Speaker 9: guys like Jax's nose and a leader. You can tell.
Speaker 1: So is Liam part of that tree?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Got you. They were in the same offense like me
Speaker 9: and Trevor. Like I talked to Trevor on the phone
Speaker 9: a few times about it.
Speaker 3: Just need Trevor's body, his body language.
Speaker 9: Just stay in it, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: And like coaching the Jags, like coach anybody you're demand.
Speaker 3: You just gotta all your teammates feel all this stuff
Speaker 3: is gonna catch you everything. Just stay stay pos.
Speaker 1: Put your eyes down towards the ground.
Speaker 2: You got to keep that.
Speaker 3: Tell Brian Thomas to go get the fucking ball.
Speaker 9: Due can play that. Dude's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: You brought it up a couple of times about San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Should have been the three who knows, like you guys
Speaker 1: are in this little dance, maybe they'll come get you
Speaker 1: in the trade. Ended up not happening. Now, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: in San Francisco for sure. Was it when you got there?
Speaker 3: Did you?
Speaker 1: Was there a level of release for you, I know,
Speaker 1: like you still have all those things in your head, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can still do this clearly brought perties the guy,
Speaker 1: but like you in a position where it kind of
Speaker 1: feels like you wanted to be there the whole time.
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, I know I did, And I feel like
Speaker 9: it was the way my mind works is like structure,
Speaker 9: Like you were talking about earlier. This is the first
Speaker 9: time that I would have structure. I felt like a
Speaker 9: really good they They've proven it year after year. I
Speaker 9: know Kyle, I know how he coaches, I know his
Speaker 9: assistant coaches, Like he knows what he's doing. So it
Speaker 9: takes a lot of burden off me to like put
Speaker 9: that pressure of like I gotta really be hon it.
Speaker 9: Like he kind of gives you that by setting you
Speaker 9: up for success. I guess that's training, that's everything, all
Speaker 9: the x's and o's. But yeah, I was really excited
Speaker 9: because that was the first time since my first year
Speaker 9: and Patriots and then Alabama that I felt like I
Speaker 9: had like a real, real structure. Yeah, I've proven structure,
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And so that was
Speaker 9: that was a relief for me. Like like I said,
Speaker 9: I took that I'm gonna prove everybody, and I was like,
Speaker 9: I'm just gonna be like a rookie again and just
Speaker 9: learn everything and be a sponge and be a great
Speaker 9: teammate and meet these guys. Like the guys on the
Speaker 9: team are awesome. It's like the best team I've been on.
Speaker 1: It seems like one of the best locker rooms.
Speaker 9: Like it was a relief though, because I was like,
Speaker 9: all right, this takes the pressure off me. Just and
Speaker 9: Mick Lombardi, our quarterback coach, was like, hey, dude, like,
Speaker 9: you don't have to prove anything to anybody like we
Speaker 9: because he coached me in New England. He was a
Speaker 9: wide receiver coach and he went to Vegas with Josh
Speaker 9: and then ended up in San Francisco. But he's like
Speaker 9: first meeting, he's like, dude, you don't have to prove
Speaker 9: anything to anybody, Like, I know you can play. I've
Speaker 9: seen it when you were a rookie. You went to
Speaker 9: the Pro Bowl like you were a top ten quarterback,
Speaker 9: like number one, Jersey Sales all that ship. He's like,
Speaker 9: I know what you can do. He's like, you gotta
Speaker 9: go do it, but don't like feel like you always
Speaker 9: have to prove that, like just be yourself like it'll happen.
Speaker 9: So I really appreciated that meeting.
Speaker 3: He's giving you a juicy Yeah.
Speaker 9: He's Italian, he's got his finger up and sh everybody else.
Speaker 9: But like I really liked that hit me. I was like, dude,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna do this, and and like I played well
Speaker 9: last year and I feel like the things that he
Speaker 9: talked about, like go out there and rip it, and
Speaker 9: Kyle same thing, like buy into the system and learn
Speaker 9: it and just be a sponge. I was just trying
Speaker 9: to be a sponge and I ended up helping me.
Speaker 9: It took that pressure off and just stopped trying to
Speaker 9: prove people and just focus on doing your job and
Speaker 9: your footwork and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we went into the decision to go out to
Speaker 3: San fran Was it the staff, like just knowing it
Speaker 3: was the best situation for sure.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I trust me. I didn't have crazy amount
Speaker 9: of options to be honest, like I played in Jacksonville
Speaker 9: and there was good tape, but it wasn't consistent. Like
Speaker 9: we talked about people didn't really know. But Kyle was
Speaker 9: like he knows football. He's like this kid got screwed
Speaker 9: or whatever you want to call it, and it just
Speaker 9: didn't work out and I can get this kid back
Speaker 9: on track. I feel like you really saw that, and
Speaker 9: honestly we did, and now I'm gonna keep doing that.
Speaker 9: But I really appreciate it because Kyle, that was It's
Speaker 9: always been me and Kyle, Like I feel like that
Speaker 9: was always supposed to happen.
Speaker 3: You know, it was always Yeah, he's so widely respected.
Speaker 3: Like we had Sammy Dion a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 3: and he thought the best before his career was going
Speaker 3: and being a backup in San fran because it just
Speaker 3: opened him up to not like I don't say, like
Speaker 3: learning new things because he was a starting quarterback. Like
Speaker 3: you guys all know everything, but they do such a
Speaker 3: good job of explaining the why, explaining the game, playing
Speaker 3: the execution. If you do deviate from certain rules, it's
Speaker 3: just why we're going to do it based on what
Speaker 3: the defense is showing us. It felt like he got
Speaker 3: back in the school of football for sure, learned so much,
Speaker 3: which obviously propelled him to Minnesota with O'Connell and then
Speaker 3: he just won a Super Bowl with Seattle. He loved
Speaker 3: the move.
Speaker 1: He thought it was the best thing for him going
Speaker 1: to PhD Yeah, and being a quarterback.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I said that too. Maybe I copied him, Maybe
Speaker 9: he copied first second, did he say it the last
Speaker 9: week he copied me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9: No, but like he's right, and I saw that and
Speaker 9: I kind of knew, like, let's get let's get there,
Speaker 9: you know, and just see what happens. And I really
Speaker 9: did feel like there was a couple of guys that
Speaker 9: went there and played well. And I don't know, there's
Speaker 9: just it's just not easier, but the it's set up
Speaker 9: for quarterback play. Yeah, Shanon's done it for so long.
Speaker 9: Sam did awesome.
Speaker 1: So one thing about like the forty nine ers, I
Speaker 1: was like, they have so much talent, they have top
Speaker 1: five talent in the NFL, but every year it seems
Speaker 1: like there's just they're just real to injuries. And last
Speaker 1: year they had a shitload. Ron Purdy goes down, You're
Speaker 1: missing all your wide receivers. Was there like clearly the
Speaker 1: offense you're in is a lot better now? Yeah, But
Speaker 1: was there a nervousness going into it, like all right,
Speaker 1: I know I can do this. I've learned so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yet now I'm in the game, but all the weapons
Speaker 1: are kind of like I have unproven guys around me
Speaker 1: as well, because there was there a fear of that
Speaker 1: going into it. Yeah, well you're just at the point
Speaker 1: like fucking I'm gonna send. Yeah, a little bit of both.
Speaker 1: Like I felt really good about it because I got
Speaker 1: a lot of reps. Like I got a lot of
Speaker 1: reps last year during training camp. They do a good
Speaker 1: job giving the ones and the twos. You know, some
Speaker 1: places it's like, you know, the twos only get so much.
Speaker 1: But anyways, I was repping with these guys like Tanjas
Speaker 1: and KB and all these guys. So I felt good
Speaker 1: about it. And I have banked reps with KB and
Speaker 1: we had a great year.
Speaker 9: But like anyways, yeah, I was a little nervous, like
Speaker 9: you're going against the Rams. That was a great example,
Speaker 9: like we kind of had a bunch of guys out.
Speaker 9: Christian was still out there, like, no.
Speaker 1: I bet the house on the Rams that game, Like
Speaker 1: what the fun they have? Nobody, it's thy night.
Speaker 9: It was a quick turnaround, like there was a lot
Speaker 9: of things against us, and like I remember, Christian.
Speaker 3: Clothes are getting torn off the is this dude still
Speaker 3: alive pants falling dad, and.
Speaker 1: I'm like putting a hand on my knee just to
Speaker 1: stand up, Like this kid's getting fucking That needs to
Speaker 1: be your profile picture. It was hard.
Speaker 9: I signed it for our EQ guys are awesome, So
Speaker 9: like memo, he's one of my main guys. He's he
Speaker 9: printed it out for me and I signed it for him,
Speaker 9: and they have like a wall of fame like best pictures. Yeah,
Speaker 9: like EQ guys falling on the field or like.
Speaker 2: You know, put that one up.
Speaker 9: But that one's great that they awes me. But I
Speaker 9: messed up my bleakue on that play. So the next
Speaker 9: week I was hurt. But like I got hurt in
Speaker 9: the preseason night last year, and like my knee was
Speaker 9: like bugging me for a little bit, like throughout all
Speaker 9: those games. So I was never even close to me
Speaker 9: in like one hundred percent all year. And yeah, we
Speaker 9: had a we had guys out there that was that's
Speaker 9: tom or whatever guys, But I did not eat eleven bananas.
Speaker 2: But that's it's a lie. Yeah, it's a lie.
Speaker 1: The photo that's up for those of you listening, says
Speaker 1: Mike Jones eleven bananas during last night's forty nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're known as like the banana burglar.
Speaker 2: BBA down.
Speaker 9: I think I ate like four or five. It's a
Speaker 9: lot of a lot of it was and it was like,
Speaker 9: how did I cramp? It's indoor, but it gets hot
Speaker 9: and that's so far, like it was a night game.
Speaker 9: The turf got hot.
Speaker 3: Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: You were at Alabama and he's in l A and
Speaker 1: I gets hot there it gets hot.
Speaker 3: Four.
Speaker 9: I was pissed, know, I was like, I was mad
Speaker 9: at myself. I was like, how the hell am I
Speaker 9: crampy right now? So I was like, Tomo, get me
Speaker 9: everything you got like it. And then Dustin, like our
Speaker 9: main trainer, I was like more element everything. So I'm
Speaker 9: just like chugging and eating everything. So anyways, that got
Speaker 9: me back. And then like Adrian was about to go
Speaker 9: in Martinez and he just got there and like didn't
Speaker 9: know the plays and ship like it was tough. He
Speaker 9: didn't know the plays, but like well he did literally
Speaker 9: like he literally just got there like whatever two weeks before,
Speaker 9: has no reps, no live reps in practice. Imagine going
Speaker 9: out there as a quarterback on a new team and
Speaker 9: have no I mean I think he had done great,
Speaker 9: but Anyways, so he's walking out there. I'm still cramping
Speaker 9: and like the last two drives and I just like
Speaker 9: scent it out there and I was cramping the whole time.
Speaker 9: But I ended up finishing the game, and like it
Speaker 9: was crazy a c one of our defense linemen like
Speaker 9: made that punch out fumble and that was like Fred
Speaker 9: played a great game.
Speaker 2: Like ball.
Speaker 1: The bet.
Speaker 3: I had the bet, but I was super happy for you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you knew, you knew he had the juice when he
Speaker 3: started hitting the floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, somebody there was a beautiful photo of you
Speaker 1: with the Obleaue Cappin or somebody that come off a sideline.
Speaker 3: You get like that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But also it's like there had to be such
Speaker 1: a release of emotions for you, Yeah, to be like
Speaker 1: all the ship you've gone through Jacksonville, you've wanted to
Speaker 1: be in the forty nine ers went the way it did,
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and then you come in here with abandoned
Speaker 1: misfits and Christian McCaffrey. You're like, hey, let's get this
Speaker 1: fucking thing done. Yeah, and you like you're cramping, nothing's
Speaker 1: going to going your way, but it's also all going
Speaker 1: your way. Yeah, and you get done beat Mattie Stafford. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it had to be an awesome night.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a great night. And like, yeah, there
Speaker 9: was a lot leading up to that moment, and I
Speaker 9: had a few starts before that, but like the injury
Speaker 9: stuff and the guy everything you talked about. You try
Speaker 9: not to like blow anything up. And I'm very focused
Speaker 9: during the year of like what do I need to
Speaker 9: do today to be and just a low.
Speaker 3: Key rivalry between Shanahan and McVay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot there.
Speaker 9: Like I knew about it, but like I've never like
Speaker 9: West Coast teams haven't played as many of them. I've
Speaker 9: been East Coast, you know, like being on this side
Speaker 9: of it and being in this conference, Like I knew
Speaker 9: about the rivalry, but that ship is real. Yeah, like oo,
Speaker 9: teams hate each other. Seahawks Arizona.
Speaker 3: I mean you're in a hell you're in like the
Speaker 3: best division in football.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah it is. I think this this is definitely
Speaker 9: the you think you think.
Speaker 3: The five G played your favorite the Towers.
Speaker 9: Oh, I like that five sounds better than substation, But yeah,
Speaker 9: I don't know that was my number one. Like, you know,
Speaker 9: off season, you're traveling and out with people and friends
Speaker 9: and it's like family members. It's like all great year.
Speaker 3: But like, do you think the substation, Like everybody's so curious.
Speaker 3: It was such a big headline the super Bowl.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was right at the super Bowl, got like
Speaker 9: twenty questions there. But yeah, it's like I don't know,
Speaker 9: like I don't feel any different, Like I don't know,
Speaker 9: I don't know, Like I feel fine.
Speaker 1: So as soon as you get your naps in, like exactly,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it is.
Speaker 9: Right there, Like I mean, it can't be any closer.
Speaker 9: I've literally hit it with a football before because we
Speaker 9: do like crossbar challenge, you know, on Fridays we tried
Speaker 9: at the crossbar and like it's right there. But I
Speaker 9: don't feel different and I don't think it affects. And
Speaker 9: they did study it. John Lynch told me that, like
Speaker 9: they really did look into it.
Speaker 1: Oh you did, the GM told you they studied it.
Speaker 1: It's totally fine. Players like hell yeah, John Lynch would
Speaker 1: never steer us wrong.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I feel like there's a few guys on the team
Speaker 9: who are like still really skeptical, but oh no doubts.
Speaker 9: And we have a lot of characters, so it's like we.
Speaker 1: Won't say names. Well, yeah, there's guys out there like
Speaker 1: not dude. Now, yeah, my grounding techniques, party, third party researching,
Speaker 1: right right, something's going down there, Yeah, dude. One thing
Speaker 1: that I just thought was incredible by you during the season,
Speaker 1: like Brock's hurt, you're playing extremely well. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: you're playing so well that the media is now pseudo
Speaker 1: starring this quarterback controversy between you ye Rock, Like I
Speaker 1: think we all know the reality of Like, Rocks are
Speaker 1: a hell of a football player. He also just signed
Speaker 1: a massive contract, so they're not really in the cards.
Speaker 1: But you went to a press conference and they asked
Speaker 1: you about about Brock and like when he comes back
Speaker 1: to who do you think should be the qarterback? They're
Speaker 1: basically trying to bait you in Yeah, the largest clickbait
Speaker 1: of all time. And I thought the way you handled
Speaker 1: it was like as perfect as it could be, as
Speaker 1: being like this is Brocks team. Yeah, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to play the best I possibly can, Like, did you
Speaker 1: know that question was coming? Yeah? Were they were?
Speaker 2: They fully?
Speaker 9: They fully of me that I've been on the other
Speaker 9: side of it, think about that. Yeah, I've been the
Speaker 9: starter and there was a little controversy. It's like I've
Speaker 9: been in Brocks shoes and there's no controversy, like it
Speaker 9: is Brocks team. And I still believe that. And I
Speaker 9: don't know, there's a respect like when you respect a
Speaker 9: guy who just got paid and earned it and then
Speaker 9: played really well and just got hurt. Like yeah, that's
Speaker 9: my job as a backup quarterback to go in and
Speaker 9: play well. And I think he supported me really well
Speaker 9: in that situation, like he was there for me.
Speaker 1: He wanted us to win.
Speaker 9: He's like, go get it done so we can get
Speaker 9: to the playoffs, like he knew he was coming back.
Speaker 9: So I don't know, like I have a swag, I
Speaker 9: have a lot of swag and like played like that,
Speaker 9: But I don't think there was ever like personal controversy
Speaker 9: or anything like that. I do believe like we both
Speaker 9: can play at a really high level and we're gonna
Speaker 9: do that this year, like that's the plan. And he
Speaker 9: handled it well, I handled it well, everybody handled it well.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't believe in like creating that. It just doesn't help.
Speaker 3: Yah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, sure.
Speaker 3: I like how you pull from your experience too. It's
Speaker 3: almost like you're conscious of Yeah, I'm playing some damn
Speaker 3: good for for sure, to where you understand why conversations
Speaker 3: come up. But being the starter, listening to the guy
Speaker 3: who's going to give an answer, definitely, you're It's it's
Speaker 3: a very supportive angle to take to relieve any extra
Speaker 3: pressure that he would put on himself. I like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I'm playing pretty good. We'll see what the
Speaker 3: coach says next week. And like when Kyle like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're totally right.
Speaker 9: And when Kyle like brought me in, He's like, look, dude,
Speaker 9: like you bald, Like we're gonna need you again at
Speaker 9: some point, just be ready, And yeah, I was like
Speaker 9: did I get it? Like I'm not. I wasn't expecting
Speaker 9: to stay in there at all. Like we were like
Speaker 9: winning some games. Yeah, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 9: like it is Brox team and I want to win.
Speaker 9: Like I was so hungry to get to the playoffs
Speaker 9: this year, adding beinsince my first year. I was like,
Speaker 9: I'll do whatever. I'll play linebacker if you need me.
Speaker 9: I'm ready. So it's like that's that's just where I
Speaker 9: was at with it. And I think it never hurts
Speaker 9: having two great quarterbacks like Toyah like and he's helped
Speaker 9: me a lot. Like bros Brox the man, I think
Speaker 9: he came on with you guys. Yeah, yeah, natural guy
Speaker 9: now like, yeah, he's the man, So I really enjoy.
Speaker 3: There's something to it too, of like I don't know,
Speaker 3: you see yourself out there slinging it, embracing it, having
Speaker 3: fun again and almost like you just accept that. Hey
Speaker 3: my past, I fully accept it. I'm coming into this
Speaker 3: backup role like I just want to fucking have fun,
Speaker 3: play ball and help the boys win. So it almost
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, like, yeah, the rest of that stuff will
Speaker 3: kind of play itself out. You're now in the mindset
Speaker 3: of like playing with house money, yeah, right, Like there's
Speaker 3: no there's no expectation to go out there and be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I kind of do need to be the starting quarterback
Speaker 3: if I'm the Yeah, if I've been slinging it recently.
Speaker 8: No doubt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I love that, And that's that's probably should have
Speaker 9: been my mindset all along. Putting that too much pressure
Speaker 9: on yourself and like you've played, you guys both played
Speaker 9: like being a young player in the league, you know
Speaker 9: there's a lot that comes with that's just maturing helped
Speaker 9: a lot. But yeah, I feel like I'm in a
Speaker 9: good headspace and it's all mindset at the end of
Speaker 9: the day, like you choose to go out there and
Speaker 9: rip it and have a good time, Like, yeah, mindset.
Speaker 9: So it might not go your way. You have to
Speaker 9: accept that. Like you could go out there and rip
Speaker 9: and throw three picks like it is what it is,
Speaker 9: you know. But if you don't go out there and
Speaker 9: rip it, you might never have a chance to throw
Speaker 9: three touchdowns either, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so basically just fucking rip it exactly. That's
Speaker 1: all you got to do, is there. I know you're like,
Speaker 1: you want to be president in the moment, you're have
Speaker 1: another year with the forty nine ers. But ye see,
Speaker 1: like like Sam Darnell wins the Super Bowl after he
Speaker 1: was pronounced a bust, we have to seeing ghost thing.
Speaker 1: He's jumped all over the place. Malik Willis gets like,
Speaker 1: what was it? Sixty million, ninety million? What did he
Speaker 1: get from there?
Speaker 3: He had a bag.
Speaker 1: He got himself a bag. After being a backup for
Speaker 1: a couple of years, you probably can't help. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: just being a little bit curious, But hey, I did
Speaker 1: kind of ball out a little bit, went to the
Speaker 1: school playing hand kind of good about it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: your brain it's like, hey, I might have a little something.
Speaker 9: Yeah. I mean Sam played one game and he got
Speaker 9: ten mil, so I played eight. I should have got eighty.
Speaker 3: So you aren't thinking about it just to.
Speaker 9: But yeah, like I've noticed that. And I signed a
Speaker 9: two year deal, so I get it. But like, and
Speaker 9: that's where I was at at the time. I wanted
Speaker 9: to make sure I was on a team. Like I
Speaker 9: didn't know how it was gonna go. It could have
Speaker 9: gone either way. Like I said this in the presser,
Speaker 9: but if I played bad on a one year deal,
Speaker 9: it's like you're maybe you're not even on a team.
Speaker 9: So it's like you just be on a team. That's
Speaker 9: my number one goal. And then obviously I know that
Speaker 9: I can play higher than just being on the team,
Speaker 9: Like I could be a starter and this year, if
Speaker 9: I'm going to be a backup, that's great. I Mean
Speaker 9: you're judged what you do when you're out there, right,
Speaker 9: so rather your back up or starter kicker doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: Like whatever you put on tape is on tape.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: But yeah, like this offseason was tough a little bit,
Speaker 9: just like gathering all those thoughts and trying to stay
Speaker 9: locked in on that's like all extra noise, but it
Speaker 9: is out there and you're gonna get questions about it
Speaker 9: every you know event you go to shit like that.
Speaker 1: So it's like you're in such a cool potes. Like
Speaker 1: before it was like guy gets drapped in the first round,
Speaker 1: it doesn't pan out in the first sure of years.
Speaker 1: He gets labeled one way and then so you just
Speaker 1: kind of don't get about the guy anymore. But with
Speaker 1: Sam and Lincoln, all these guys that are kind of
Speaker 1: having this resurgence in the career, it's awesome and it's
Speaker 1: like logical brains go to like, oh, you're the next
Speaker 1: cat that's gonna get Yeah, no, I did not become
Speaker 1: the dude exactly, and I hopefully will.
Speaker 9: Get that that chance. And like Sam definitely did it
Speaker 9: the right way. Like he has such a cool story.
Speaker 9: I don't know him that well, have some like mutuals
Speaker 9: and stuff, but he's like same thing, like seeing goes
Speaker 9: like all the stuff that I went through, Like so
Speaker 9: he knows and then he goes and win to the
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, Like how cool is that? I just like
Speaker 9: hang your nuts on everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 9: Now like I'm back, so I feel like I can
Speaker 9: get there and I still have a lot a lot
Speaker 9: to do and a lot a lot more like I
Speaker 9: want to stack a couple of good years and I
Speaker 9: feel like I'm still twenty seven. I have some good
Speaker 9: scars and bad scars, but I know I can play.
Speaker 9: But I do want to get that chance again, like
Speaker 9: to run a team and like be the guy that's like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm in the meeting, like I can say. I still
Speaker 9: speak up sometimes, but it's like, hey, guys, like this
Speaker 9: is how I want this route. Run like square it
Speaker 9: off at the top and come downhill like we're not
Speaker 9: doing the ship where we're drifting, you know.
Speaker 8: Yea, be that guy, you know.
Speaker 9: And it's hard when it's like Brox team and or
Speaker 9: any backup. I'm sure they deal with that. But if
Speaker 9: you can get that chance again, I feel like I
Speaker 9: can really elevate people around me. And whether that comes,
Speaker 9: you know, soon or later never, like I know I'm
Speaker 9: going to be ready for it, so I hope it
Speaker 9: does happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's you're in a good spot too because
Speaker 3: you have such a good organization.
Speaker 1: That's the other part.
Speaker 3: And they know you know. Hopefully it's like two things happen, right,
Speaker 3: Like they either use your value to trade you and
Speaker 3: get something else, or you play out this year and
Speaker 3: you'll be in free agency to where you can be
Speaker 3: selective about for sure the situation you want to go into.
Speaker 9: Yeah h yeah, like yeah yeah, Like like with the
Speaker 9: the league thing too, Like I feel like I've played
Speaker 9: a lot of football as well, and some guys it's
Speaker 9: hard that you think you have something. The guys only
Speaker 9: play a couple of games, you know, you don't really know.
Speaker 9: But like I I want to stack some more good
Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying. You were saying with like more
Speaker 9: good years so you can prove that. But I mean
Speaker 9: I've played like started like almost sixty games, I think,
Speaker 9: so it's like I have the experience. It's not like
Speaker 9: it's my first go round. Yeah, which is frustrating. It's like, dude,
Speaker 9: I've done this a lot for like a backup, you know, yeah,
Speaker 9: and I know I can be a starter.
Speaker 1: So the Molite thing is so fascinating because he got
Speaker 1: judged with the Titans when I was there, Yeah, no joke,
Speaker 1: it was like it was bad. Yeah, he didn't know
Speaker 1: the place he didn't know the checks. Like, it's just
Speaker 1: amazing to see what happens to quarterbacks when they're in
Speaker 1: offenses that develop and teach them. And he was to
Speaker 1: the Packers.
Speaker 9: It's like he changed into a completely different player for sure.
Speaker 9: And I think it's you're right, it's proving that like
Speaker 9: that that can happen. I feel like the old guys
Speaker 9: would be like, if you sucked early on, you're done
Speaker 9: type thing.
Speaker 10: Right now.
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's like if the guy, if you like the guy,
Speaker 9: he can play, is a good arm for a leak,
Speaker 9: he could run and make plays, like, give him a
Speaker 9: chance and see it, see what happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like with Caleb and Chicago too, and Johnson
Speaker 3: comes over and you kind of see the learning curve
Speaker 3: and growing pains. But the dudes clearly got insane ability.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that's Miami us. There is a little tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little bit. But hey, you got you know,
Speaker 3: you gotta baga. How you turn that down? How you
Speaker 3: turn that back? Yeah? Yeah, back told me to go
Speaker 3: to Cleveland fucking for that money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Cleveland's paying like fifteen quarterbacks right now.
Speaker 1: You want to go to Miami, you want be in
Speaker 1: that weather, isn't.
Speaker 3: It it like being with the Niners. Isn't it fascinating
Speaker 3: to see the level just the differences in the way
Speaker 3: organizations and cultures are ran Like coming from Bama, you
Speaker 3: came from a well operating machine in Alabama. You go
Speaker 3: to the Patriots. You got the Patriot where you're learning
Speaker 3: from the best. You also go to Jacksonville, but you
Speaker 3: see all the discrepancies. I'm not saying it's bad, but
Speaker 3: I'm saying pristine, Patriots pristine. Then you go to Jacksonville,
Speaker 3: all go yeah, well even with some of the course
Speaker 3: the gaps that happened in New England, like it can
Speaker 3: still happen to the best of the organizations. Is if
Speaker 3: the communication and everything is not there for sure, then
Speaker 3: you get to go to you get to go to
Speaker 3: San Fran and everything we always hear with San Fran
Speaker 3: is just how well the organizations run to where you're like,
Speaker 3: this is how an NFL team should be op.
Speaker 9: Like I only knew like high school went to the
Speaker 9: same high school all four years, like college, went to
Speaker 9: the same college, and then Patriots was trying to learn that.
Speaker 9: So I only knew like three ways really, but then
Speaker 9: I was like, let me check this out over here
Speaker 9: on the west side, go over to Kyle and see
Speaker 9: it's up because I heard about it, And what a
Speaker 9: better way to do it than like be a back
Speaker 9: up and learn from the bottom up. And it's helped
Speaker 9: me a lot. Like everything's good, the food's amazing, EQ
Speaker 9: guys are awesome. Like I'm friends with everybody in the
Speaker 9: whole organization. Like people hang out outside of football. It's
Speaker 9: just a totally different even than Alabama or like yeah
Speaker 9: with the Patriots, Like you know, it's not we weren't
Speaker 9: really doing that obviously, the guys hang out, but like
Speaker 9: everyone's just a family and that's so cool, and I
Speaker 9: think it helps our team and like even being here
Speaker 9: for George like tied a new stuff, Like it really
Speaker 9: helps our team like bonding and you know, it's like
Speaker 9: the best teams are all you got to be brothers,
Speaker 9: you know. So I feel like our entire organization is
Speaker 9: like that. So that that's something that I'm not going
Speaker 9: to take for granted. And being there for if I'm
Speaker 9: there for next year, five years or no more years,
Speaker 9: like that place is awesome and you have to like
Speaker 9: be grateful for what it is because it's a great organization.
Speaker 1: I love that you broughtup the EQ guys because those
Speaker 1: are like the best yet the unsung heroes of every
Speaker 1: locker room, because it's always so great to go back
Speaker 1: there and they're always talking about the dumbest ship they have.
Speaker 1: Every EQ room has like a collage wall of every
Speaker 1: photos they've decided, like your pants down one or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like they're the best guys in the world and
Speaker 1: they just work more hours than anybody else.
Speaker 9: That's insane. Yeah, Yeah, we got Jay Birds like our
Speaker 9: head guy and then Memo and Doc and gil Be.
Speaker 9: Like these guys are like and they'll come to like
Speaker 9: our Christmas parties and stuff. They don't drink more beer
Speaker 9: than anybody, love.
Speaker 1: To get after they get after you on the plane
Speaker 1: on the way back, they're sloshed.
Speaker 3: Over this kind of celebrating than you.
Speaker 9: And like I'll go in there with my shirt off,
Speaker 9: like and just like hang out with these guys like
Speaker 9: my bellies out, Like they love it.
Speaker 2: They love the whole.
Speaker 9: Like they just they have this table right there that
Speaker 9: they're sitting on, but like I have a chair and
Speaker 9: I just go sit down probably like twice a.
Speaker 1: Day in there.
Speaker 9: I'll go in there for like fifteen twenty minutes just
Speaker 9: hang out. There's a TV. We'll watch soccer, FIFA whatever,
Speaker 9: and it's like this, like we just talk shop. It's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know and those dudes grind dude
Speaker 3: you talk about everybody knows about the hours coaches have
Speaker 3: to put in but to eat the equipment.
Speaker 9: Guys to the video guys like yeah, video guys to
Speaker 9: the same thing, like we have throughout the night, the earliest,
Speaker 9: the latest, doing laundry.
Speaker 3: They do all the work.
Speaker 9: Football is like, I like, my football is like a
Speaker 9: very certain way, like Memo guy, Like he does it
Speaker 9: to a t like I pick him out and he
Speaker 9: brushes them and puts all the ship on there and
Speaker 9: like he works his ass off like he must be
Speaker 9: there all day.
Speaker 1: What do you like about your ball? It's so different
Speaker 1: a certain way. Yeah, yeah, delighted.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah.
Speaker 9: I was like and I was like, why are they
Speaker 9: so squishy? But yeah, so like I like the this
Speaker 9: is gonna sound bad too, like skinnier like some balls
Speaker 9: are like fat, yeah, like the petite.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So like I'm very sick about that in the mud
Speaker 9: that they put on there. Oh, you can't put too
Speaker 9: much and then they put this like lex Au stuff
Speaker 9: where it's like makes it a little sticky, but you
Speaker 9: put too much then it gets slippery. So there's a
Speaker 9: fine line of like learning about this throughout the years.
Speaker 9: And I'm very specific Brock doesn't really care, and like
Speaker 9: I'll go back there and kind of like make sure
Speaker 9: that we have the right ship in there, because I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, we can't just leave this up to guessing, like
Speaker 2: this is specifically ship science.
Speaker 9: Our EQ guys are scientists, Like yeah, yeah, but no,
Speaker 9: you're right, And that's an under appreciated thing about every organization.
Speaker 9: And I wish there was, like you guys should have
Speaker 9: like an EQ staff on here one time, because it's
Speaker 9: like an underappreciated part of the game. Like they have
Speaker 9: so many good stories. Like Jay Bird, our head guys
Speaker 9: in Washington, Like he has crazy good stories.
Speaker 1: Oh I bet he's had some crazy stories being from Washington. Exactly.
Speaker 1: Bring up Jay Bird. Yeah, another person that will know maybe.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's been there for minutes. He's like one of
Speaker 9: Kyle's guys and Kyle's dads there. But anyway, when the
Speaker 9: video guys, same thing, like they have a room and
Speaker 9: I always stop by and see them. It's just different
Speaker 9: in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: You gotta check in on those boys men because everyone
Speaker 1: it just seems like you have to have a chance,
Speaker 1: like zoom out a little bit. Those guys are the
Speaker 1: best at like getting like grounded like that. The video
Speaker 1: guys are always talking about some weird shit going on.
Speaker 1: Equipment guys are just a bunch of bros hanging out. Yes,
Speaker 1: Like the training staff and the coaching staff, they're all like,
Speaker 1: we're focused on ball right right right boys healthy watching
Speaker 1: the film, it's almost like, for a second.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you have your like football friends obviously, but it's
Speaker 9: like a nice unplugging when you're going to these the
Speaker 9: EQ or the training Like you have like an EQ
Speaker 9: week where we just celebrate the equipment staff. You have
Speaker 9: a five minute with like ten different.
Speaker 3: Several graphics go throughout the day on social.
Speaker 9: With one good story yeah get out, yeah yeah, one
Speaker 9: good story and rip, we'll put you in a black silhouette.
Speaker 1: Dude, we'll change your voice a little bit. You just
Speaker 1: tell us the story, best story you got yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet you got some nuts ones dude. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: especially like uh not the security guards, but like the
Speaker 1: cops that are always around. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys have those. We had Jeff Johnson who was like
Speaker 1: age hop but he wasn't really a cop, but he
Speaker 1: actually was a cop. And he's like got the craziest stories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to put Jeb on blast right now,
Speaker 1: So if you were to come in here and tell
Speaker 1: some stories.
Speaker 9: Like I'm sure all time. Yeah, who was like the
Speaker 9: the good one for you guys? Who was like the
Speaker 9: most wild teammate each of you guys had, like like
Speaker 9: you know what I'm talking about, you guys like missing
Speaker 9: every you know, like missing a going parties all that.
Speaker 1: Who the wildest team I ever had was Isaiah Wilson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was twenty twenty Georgia in first round picks teammate too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was crazy, dude.
Speaker 1: He was a He would fall asleep in meetings, really,
Speaker 1: he would fall a sleep and meetings and their office
Speaker 1: the line coach, this kid like this is in my hair. Remember,
Speaker 1: dude was a specimen shoulders like this. He was like
Speaker 1: the same size waist as me, giant legs, nimble, like
Speaker 1: had all the tools to be like another Trent Williams.
Speaker 1: He had that type of ability.
Speaker 5: Biggest bust in Titans history.
Speaker 1: So that's Jack. He is he he is, And I
Speaker 1: just remember being around this catchude. He would fall asleep anywhere.
Speaker 1: He would go out late at night. He'd come and
Speaker 1: smelling like booze. And the weird thing is his retention
Speaker 1: was incredible, Like he was sleeping meetings and then like
Speaker 1: our coach will wake come up and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: nineteen Zoro, what do you have? He'd be like double
Speaker 1: to the mike and like left all like how the
Speaker 1: fuck did he?
Speaker 9: How do you know that?
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh my god. I'd be like there
Speaker 1: taking notes like eight years in, being like I gotta
Speaker 1: figure all this ship out. He just like knew it
Speaker 1: right away. And it's such a bummer because he was
Speaker 1: he had all the fucking tools.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: He really not arrested for drag racing in Nashville.
Speaker 9: I remember, I remember this guy.
Speaker 1: He he was a first round pick. What year was
Speaker 1: after twenty twenty? Yeah, so twenty one was his first
Speaker 1: first season or second season, I don't know. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: after his first cut his contracts null and void. When
Speaker 1: he was having a bunch of issues, I was like,
Speaker 1: share your location with me. On your phone, and so
Speaker 1: he shared it with me, and for like two three
Speaker 1: years after that, I still had his location at times. Joke,
Speaker 1: he'd be like on like a little island next to
Speaker 1: Miami or something. Then he'd be like over and he
Speaker 1: was traveling all over the place. He got savvy. Eventually location,
Speaker 1: you got that dough, he got sad. He got savvy
Speaker 1: on me. Figure out that's sleepy panda under his eyes?
Speaker 9: Yeah, became like was he like he had potential though?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah he was. I mean yeah, you saw him
Speaker 1: in personally. Yeah, when we were he was a nice
Speaker 1: guy too. That's the thing.
Speaker 3: When we were boost you see the kids, you'd see
Speaker 3: his band and everything else being you know, this dude
Speaker 3: is a freaking.
Speaker 1: What about you?
Speaker 9: Same thing? Would that be your same answer? You can't
Speaker 9: have the I mean even college. Somebody give me some
Speaker 9: wild card. Oh wow, card callege, you got to go next.
Speaker 9: You already know who you're too.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean most yeah, it probably be like, uh,
Speaker 3: Damian Stafford. That's another Really, Damien was like he was
Speaker 3: a baller, like he was still a beast. He's just
Speaker 3: like a wild boy, like he fucking hit the funk
Speaker 3: out of our teammates in practice to where in college
Speaker 3: the coaches will put like new like news articles of
Speaker 3: NFL guys getting fine for hitting teammates in practice, try
Speaker 3: and get him to stop taking heads off in practice. Really,
Speaker 3: he fought over a bag of chips from Jimmy John's
Speaker 3: Salt and vinegar, got his teeth knocked out. It was crazy.
Speaker 3: They already snuck me. I'm like Jesus Christ, what we
Speaker 3: do we do? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure Staff's in jail now, right, he's
Speaker 1: in prison.
Speaker 3: He might be out.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 2: He was a he was a.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he tried to fight the Landy Walker,
Speaker 1: sweet Prince.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the and he's cool, dude, you know what,
Speaker 3: I don't think nothing beats the stories though that we've
Speaker 3: heard about.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, but that wasn't our teammates, I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah the murderer like.
Speaker 1: And like and cranking it in position yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point story where branking it in a
Speaker 1: position meeting.
Speaker 9: That was another cool thing about the Patriots, Like I
Speaker 9: got just cranking anywhere.
Speaker 3: They said he get up working out in the weight room.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so like what Yeah, I think these are true
Speaker 9: because like the folklore trout. You know, Bill would tell
Speaker 9: some good stories, o Bi. Bill O'Brien had some good
Speaker 9: stories about Hernandez, but like, yeah, there's some really weird
Speaker 9: true ones. I didn't obviously know him at all, but
Speaker 9: just sounded crazy. But his film, Dude, was unbelievable because
Speaker 9: it was Josh McDaniels would show his film all the
Speaker 9: time because we had Hunter, Henry and John who I
Speaker 9: think DYA had Gronk and Hernandez at one point and
Speaker 9: they were trying to just like the two tight end sets.
Speaker 9: Like that dude would catch the ball and like he
Speaker 9: looked like you're running back when he got the ball.
Speaker 9: And as a rookie, I'm like, dude, that that guy's
Speaker 9: like the best player I've ever seen on film.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like he was a monster.
Speaker 9: Yeah, But like they would tell us the stories. I
Speaker 9: think Obi's told us before. But Bill O'Brien, but like
Speaker 9: one time he was in his office and like they
Speaker 9: had meetings, everyone went to bed whatever, it's like fall camp,
Speaker 9: and like he didn't have a lot of targets Hernandoz.
Speaker 9: And then the next morning, like on Obi's whiteboard was
Speaker 9: like throw the ball to Hernandez, like written like one
Speaker 9: hundred and fifty times, and I guess like he went
Speaker 9: in there and rid it, wrote it or ridd it.
Speaker 9: He wrote it on the wall and was like, throw
Speaker 9: me the ball like and put it like a hundred times.
Speaker 9: And Bill O'Brien was like, I'm throwing that guy the ball, yeah,
Speaker 9: and I was like, you should.
Speaker 8: Have done that.
Speaker 9: Anyways, the guy's unbelievable. But it was a sad, sad situation.
Speaker 9: But I obviously don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, still I mean held the ballplayer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and anybody who was too much, they'd be gone really quickly.
Speaker 1: It's like guys like when you come in for walk
Speaker 1: through on Saturdays. I know of a couple of guys
Speaker 1: that are like special teams guys. This one that was
Speaker 1: a dB, I forget his name, but he'd be he'd
Speaker 1: be hammered and then just go to the facility on
Speaker 1: Friday night or Saturday morning and sleep there until we
Speaker 1: had meetings on Saturday. But then he was gone within
Speaker 1: a few weeks because obviously, you know, you can't like
Speaker 1: live that life as like a special team. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you're in your rookie contract. Guys were getting what you want.
Speaker 3: Went off on us once because he found out guys
Speaker 3: were like getting extra hotel rooms so they could go
Speaker 3: and smoke in them, and like stuff stuffed towels underneath
Speaker 3: the the cracks.
Speaker 1: Of the door and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a lot of loopholes and weird Yeah, like
Speaker 9: people figure.
Speaker 3: D Jack Deshaun Jackson. He like we were in London
Speaker 3: and he basically canceled curfew because he said he just
Speaker 3: wouldn't be back. But he's such a beast like some
Speaker 3: guys you're just set like I'm not gonna be at
Speaker 3: curfew tonight, and coaches like all right, it's over. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was like there were some going around the players
Speaker 3: because we were out of dinner and stuff, like I'm
Speaker 3: hearing that they're they're theres no curfew tonight because the
Speaker 3: Jack said he wasn't gonna be there's no way, no ship.
Speaker 3: I can't break the rules if there isn't one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, fellows, but you all know it's because yeah,
Speaker 9: on the field, yeah, just just running by just a monster.
Speaker 3: He'd come in. It's like he'd be like not like
Speaker 3: a training room guy, like he'd be injured, but he'd
Speaker 3: have something to doesn't practice and then the Ferrari goes
Speaker 3: out on Sunday, he just falls.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a lot of I think there's more people
Speaker 9: like that than people would probably realize in the league,
Speaker 9: Like no doubt, just go out there and just put
Speaker 9: your cleats on him, go play, which is crazy. I
Speaker 9: could never do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish I could like that guy.
Speaker 1: It wasn't I needed to practice, But I always see
Speaker 1: the dude that wouldn't pic be Like god, that'd be
Speaker 1: so fucking nice to be dude, they could just strap
Speaker 1: it up on Sundays. Trent was like that.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he probably still doesn't say, but he was

Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't get off track. He hasn't told us
Speaker 1: who his the craziest teammate. He's a brat. Oh yeah right,
Speaker 1: so it's it's easy for me. I was this guy,
Speaker 1: Tony Brown. I don't know if you guys know him,
Speaker 1: look him up on there. His name's Crazy Tony. But
Speaker 1: he's like he was a stud of Alabama. He played
Speaker 1: on that defense with like Dron Payin, like all those guys,
Speaker 1: Minka everybody. He played in the league for a little bit,
Speaker 1: but he was the man like scout team Me and
Speaker 1: him every day like going at it like pretty much
Speaker 1: fighting like he would. He was just crazy dude, Like
Speaker 1: and he would go I'd throw a dig raw over
Speaker 1: the middle and he would just crush our scout team
Speaker 1: receiver like mac Hereford's actually these guys know him shot
Speaker 1: out here, but like he would go over the middle
Speaker 1: and crazy Tony would just crush him.
Speaker 9: And like saving would just look the other way. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 9: he just got smoked, Like what are we doing. It's
Speaker 9: like same thing fighting practice and stuff. But he was
Speaker 9: a great teammate. And I think he was a terrible teammate. No, no, no,
Speaker 9: like he was, but he just had his thing on
Speaker 9: the field where it was like he just blacked out.
Speaker 9: It wasn't because he was a bad guy or anything.
Speaker 9: He just that's what he does.
Speaker 1: He he goes and knocks people out. Yeah, I respect it.
Speaker 9: But like the field was cool, Like would make jokes
Speaker 9: with everybody.
Speaker 3: You're talking about teammates like that. It's and Sue. We
Speaker 3: had a scrimmage one time and one of the old linemen,
Speaker 3: one of the guards held him Ricky Henry Ricky Henry,
Speaker 3: and Ricky was a Ricky was a stud, like your
Speaker 3: state champion wrestler. Like somebody didn't want to fuck with
Speaker 3: I guess Ricky held him a little bit, but Sue
Speaker 3: walked up and fucking palm smokes him back of the head.
Speaker 3: Ricky just drops. But like you're saying about saving kind
Speaker 3: of turned the head. Coaches, nobody saying. Nobody says anything
Speaker 3: to Sue. Yeah, move it up, to move it up,
Speaker 3: and we're thinking, like coach bo, anybody who fights or
Speaker 3: anything like that, he hasn't running, but not you know,
Speaker 3: Sue fucking knocks a guy out and we just move
Speaker 3: it up to like just keep it going, and nobody
Speaker 3: says a word to Sue back of their head shot.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but like, yeah, Sue is just he's been
Speaker 3: on the bus, like he he's got the oar.
Speaker 1: You just don't like it's just yeah, but yeah, there's.
Speaker 3: In the school yard also a good dude. You're never
Speaker 3: going to check him because he stays on top of
Speaker 3: his ship and he's just yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know that.
Speaker 9: Like crazy Tony was like off the field, I feel like,
Speaker 9: you like really loved football and he was like I
Speaker 9: don't know if he was late or stuffing, and Saban
Speaker 9: loved him, so I guess he wasn't like that type
Speaker 9: of guy. But yeah, like on the field. He was
Speaker 9: just a monster.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's crazy, like mouthing off of people. Yeah, but
Speaker 9: you need a guy like that. Oh yeah, you gotta
Speaker 9: have one guy like that and then four you know,
Speaker 9: guys help me up. But he was a good player.
Speaker 9: So yeah, dude, we uh will thought of a new
Speaker 9: segment to have on the bus. Oh yeah, picture in
Speaker 9: a story, Picture in a story. And this is our
Speaker 9: first photo.
Speaker 3: Rams let this man walk into their building without wide
Speaker 3: receiver one, wide receiver two, wide receiver three, and tight
Speaker 3: end one and Rams went home with an l. You
Speaker 3: have a good story behind this meme, this photo, that game.
Speaker 9: So this is two separate occasions. So yeah, for sure
Speaker 9: that's Bama. Yeah, but it's it's it matches the vibe
Speaker 9: for sure. Peopel like that's the RAMS thing is great.
Speaker 9: And then I think they're just saying, like look at
Speaker 9: my body type deal because yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Talk about all these workouts too, did it just never
Speaker 3: like I was eight?
Speaker 9: You know, sh it doesn't work? Yeah, still got it
Speaker 9: doesn't know but that that photos after Tennessee when we
Speaker 9: beat Tennessee every year we smoke a cigar.
Speaker 1: We said when we beat when we beat Tennessee said
Speaker 1: it so confidently.
Speaker 9: So anyways, this is my last year when I smoked one.
Speaker 9: But I don't really smoke cigars because the first time
Speaker 9: I did it, me and Damian Harris is one of
Speaker 9: my good buddies in college running back played in the
Speaker 9: league for a little bit. Yeah, he was a good,
Speaker 9: good player. Anyways, so like we we beat it. I
Speaker 9: was like a freshman that year we went to the Natty.
Speaker 9: We beat him. So I started smoking a cigar and
Speaker 9: I never really smoked one before, so I started inhaling it.
Speaker 9: I didn't know you were supposed to like yeah, puffet
Speaker 9: or whatever, and dude, I was so messed up. I
Speaker 9: was like, I'm smoking cigars for the rest of my deal.
Speaker 1: Haven't had one sense.
Speaker 9: No, I've had a cigar sence. Okay, I learn how
Speaker 9: to do it, but I'm not digg into it and
Speaker 9: I get real dizzy and stuff. So I'm not a
Speaker 9: big like nicotine guy. Sorry, but I get the hype
Speaker 9: around it, like I get why people like cigars in
Speaker 9: the taste.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was like, yeah, rip them on the
Speaker 3: golf course with the boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we hope you're.

Speaker 8: All right.
Speaker 1: This fan question comes from a Christian buck underscore. What
Speaker 1: are the differences between Saban coaching and the NFL coaching
Speaker 1: as in toughness or on mistakes or being late and stuff?
Speaker 2: Wait, go back to that questions and stuff.
Speaker 9: I'd say Saban. Yeah, I guess Saban was real strict,
Speaker 9: but like it like it's just the standard was there,
Speaker 9: Like you knew you're not gonna be late. You're almost
Speaker 9: like scared of them, you know late None. Yeah, never was.
Speaker 9: We used to get points, like bad points for being
Speaker 9: late to class. I don't think I ever got a point.
Speaker 9: I was a good boy, filled with no bad points
Speaker 9: and all the in the world, I was like just
Speaker 9: trying to make it man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9: Saban was like he's cooler than what you would think.
Speaker 9: But it's just college guys. You can control them a
Speaker 9: little bit more like NFL guys, you know how it
Speaker 9: is like, yeah, the coach, depending on who your coaches,
Speaker 9: they kind of just NFL's the.
Speaker 3: First time where you see vets like not touch the
Speaker 3: line and conditioning.
Speaker 1: Right's going on?
Speaker 9: Yeah, dude, exactly a.
Speaker 1: Thing, I guess.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 9: Literally, So what's something that like the.
Speaker 1: People that aren't in the Alabama facility or the media
Speaker 1: get wrong about Nick Saban?
Speaker 9: I'd say, like, yeah, he's a he's a personal guy.
Speaker 9: Like I don't know if some people probably I think
Speaker 9: they're just intimidated by his like aura or whatever, like,
Speaker 9: but he's you could go play golf with them, like
Speaker 9: hang out. I don't know. He's just way cooler than
Speaker 9: what people think. And he has good jokes like can
Speaker 9: control the room, but keep it light. Loves Miss Terry.
Speaker 9: Miss Terry is awesome. It's like he always would bring
Speaker 9: it back to Miss Terry, like when we would be
Speaker 9: like getting in trouble with girls and stuff, He's like
Speaker 9: Miss Terry, whooped my ass? Like you know, like this
Speaker 9: ship you guys are doing. So anyways, she's she's the best,
Speaker 9: and their family is awesome and did a lot of
Speaker 9: like they have a great foundation, NIX Kids Foundation. So
Speaker 9: they just they've left their impact, like saving as the man.
Speaker 3: So is it we were getting a tour at Alabama's
Speaker 3: facilities yea a couple of years ago. Is it true
Speaker 3: that Saban when he enters the team meeting room there's
Speaker 3: like the door w music, Like he gets like music
Speaker 3: coming out to the floor.
Speaker 9: Oh no, Kyle does that, Shannan like he has like
Speaker 9: rap music playing or like, but no, he doesn't have
Speaker 9: Saban doesn't have like entrance music, not really, I don't think.
Speaker 2: Maybe it came later, but like it was quiet.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but he knows it's Sparewell tour. Yeah, like yeah, exactly,
Speaker 3: that's gonna.
Speaker 9: Be like we would all be in there, like you
Speaker 9: know how it is. You're talking to your boys like
Speaker 9: spinning seeds whatever, and like right when you heard that door,
Speaker 9: you kind of knew all the coaches were in there.
Speaker 9: That's second the door open, like complete quiet, Like he
Speaker 9: didn't even get up on stage yet. You just started walking.
Speaker 9: And he always spit like his red man shooting tobacco
Speaker 9: and his cup and then he'd like, but it was
Speaker 9: dead quiet without doing anything.
Speaker 3: Fun fact, Redman is now named America's Best.
Speaker 9: Oh sorry, switch name, gotcha, Bill Compton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Billy was breaking down during the Dad Combine last week.
Speaker 3: He was pissed he couldn't find Red Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all exactly found at the Dad Combine. That's
Speaker 1: actually rebranded.
Speaker 3: No, he already knew that he was going to find
Speaker 3: chewing tobacco before he went to the Dad Combine, and
Speaker 3: then he was pissed because he didn't have chewing tobacco.
Speaker 3: And then when he's he's breaking down to your dad,
Speaker 3: your dad's like, oh, you couldn't find anything. He's like,
Speaker 3: we're in National Tennessee. I can't find any fucking chew.
Speaker 3: He's like, what do you chew? He's like, red Man, Well,
Speaker 3: somebody got mad. So now they call it America's Best. Interesting.
Speaker 3: That's in the log the Dad Combine. Go check it out.
Speaker 1: I gave Bill one of my Lucy's. He's like, because
Speaker 1: he was you could tell he was tweaking. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I've been there before without my nicotine.
Speaker 3: You saw it happened. He was a no shoulder in
Speaker 3: the trash.
Speaker 1: Really, I was like, do you want one of these? Like, oh, Phoenix,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I was just pure nicotine. Just put
Speaker 1: in your lip. He put in there. Twenty minutes. He
Speaker 1: was like, I get a couple more of them, and
Speaker 1: then two more twenty minutes. There a few more grabs
Speaker 1: four this time. Finally the last time I was getting
Speaker 1: Mechanic said no, you can just have one. He's like,
Speaker 1: you mean it, that's all?
Speaker 2: You go ahead?
Speaker 1: Yeah, feeding man feening.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I get like, I don't know, I don't really
Speaker 9: do those, but I get the hyper around all of it.
Speaker 9: But I guess he saving would do it to just
Speaker 9: keep him awake and stuff.
Speaker 3: But what is your vice?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 9: I don't know. I mean I like to have a
Speaker 9: good time slaying it, slinging the ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like slay.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just I don't know, like off the field
Speaker 9: and stuff, just whatever whatever is going on.
Speaker 1: I like to be there and hanging out with the boys.
Speaker 3: It's like, why not his vices phone tell you what.
Speaker 9: To be hanging out And yeah, I don't know, I
Speaker 9: think it's fun this, yes, Slade the teammates, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: ask U Jones I just score ten.
Speaker 1: Who is who his all time favorite wide receiver to
Speaker 1: throw to?
Speaker 9: Slade? This is my guy though, like Slade grinder, Like
Speaker 9: when I got to Alabama, he was a year younger
Speaker 9: than me, but we would go out and throw in
Speaker 9: the indoor like Saturday nights. I like didn't want to
Speaker 9: party as much like towards. Like you know, I had
Speaker 9: a fun time early on, but I was trying to
Speaker 9: lock in a little bit more so, Like my dad
Speaker 9: was like, well, Ship, why don't you just go throw
Speaker 9: with like in those guys. So Slave would always be there,
Speaker 9: would be like me, DeVante Smith Andry Ruggs, Slade, Metchi,
Speaker 9: all those guys. But Slave was always there. Matt Hereford
Speaker 9: was always there like these guys. He's a grinder, so
Speaker 9: like I appreciate people like that. And he's still one
Speaker 9: of my best friends. And he was a good player,
Speaker 9: Like he was a slot receiver, a short, little white guy.
Speaker 9: You know, it's like he played a little bit in
Speaker 9: the league and yeah, exactly athletic. Yeah, but like he's
Speaker 9: a great dude. So yeah, Slade, for sure, who'd be
Speaker 9: number two? Probably DeVante Smith? Yeah, yeah, he's pretty good.
Speaker 9: So yeah, Smithy was the man, same thing, like he
Speaker 9: grinded with us, like we put a lot of hours
Speaker 9: in together.
Speaker 1: So yeah, respect, Is there a piece of you that
Speaker 1: thinks you should have won the Heisman Trophy instead of him?
Speaker 9: Sometimes quarterback? Yeah, but like I was so happy for him.
Speaker 9: He deserved it. I just like Wattle got hurt. So
Speaker 9: I guess thanks Waddle for splitting, because he could have
Speaker 9: I could have split the targets, you know, and then
Speaker 9: I would have won the Heisman.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, it sounds like Trevor but Smitty like he bought
Speaker 9: that year and we really weren't like designing play We
Speaker 9: were designing plays going to them, but not every time,
Speaker 9: but it looked like every play was going to them.
Speaker 9: And Sark like Sarkisian dial that ship up.
Speaker 3: So like we with Texas this year.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I haven't been studying college football as much recently, haven't
Speaker 9: watching it. Yeah, Like, I don't know, but I love Sark.
Speaker 9: He's a good, good coach. Like their offense will put
Speaker 9: up points. It's just I don't know what their situation
Speaker 9: is over there. Who's I guess Manning right is a quarterback.
Speaker 9: He'll he'll be better this year, for sure, like in
Speaker 9: that system. It takes a minute to learn it's actually
Speaker 9: the same system that we run in San Francisco. And
Speaker 9: then they got the receiver from Auburn. Right, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 9: I've heard about that kid. Yeah that's cool.
Speaker 3: Good, hang too.
Speaker 9: I wonder what they're is their schedule out yet? Do
Speaker 9: they play anybody good in the first game?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 9: I remember last year they had yeah, last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they're doing they're doing one for one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, home at home.
Speaker 1: Oh it's week two, week two.
Speaker 9: Okay, that was tough. They started out with the loss
Speaker 9: right against State. It's like, I don't know. Yeah, I
Speaker 9: haven't really kept it, you know, like the older you get,
Speaker 9: you don't have any teammates on the team. It's weird removed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll start a podcast on the bus and then
Speaker 1: college your entire life.
Speaker 2: I love college. We don't get me wrong.
Speaker 9: I'm watching that ship and I want to get more
Speaker 9: into it. But yeah, I guess like as you get
Speaker 9: more removed, Yeah, your priorities are straight right now, Yeah,
Speaker 9: exactly exactly where they It's like, yeah, you're for Bama,
Speaker 9: but yeah, like I will say, like, do you think
Speaker 9: Bama's ever gonna make it back. Shoot, we'll see I
Speaker 9: wouldn't mind being the last champion quarterback.
Speaker 3: For marketing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for marketing, just like it's the last guy that wanted.
Speaker 3: Did you ever how about this? Did you ever hear
Speaker 3: don't say names. Did you ever hear of a pre
Speaker 3: n il nil deal at Alabama? Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna plead the fifth.
Speaker 1: Job. Yeah I heard about that, but I plead the
Speaker 1: fifth No.
Speaker 9: I don't think like it was as much as people
Speaker 9: think or whatever, Like it wasn't. I think the cell
Speaker 9: was saving, like saving, didn't pay me shit, but he
Speaker 9: gave me. He got me like my first contract, Like
Speaker 9: that's what it was all about.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Now it's still yeah, of course, but like now it's
Speaker 9: that's why I talked to some of these kids about it.
Speaker 9: They'll ask me. I'm like, dude, one hundred grand now
Speaker 9: or ten mil later, like lock in, don't worry about
Speaker 9: the other ship and go these dudes.
Speaker 3: To get one.
Speaker 9: This is like a couple of years, like the beginning
Speaker 9: of it. Yeah, but now it's like the opposite. It's
Speaker 9: like stay there as long as you can and I'll
Speaker 9: go back.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 9: Someone signed me. I actually had two more. I think
Speaker 9: because of COVID, so I could have still been there,
Speaker 9: like after my rookie year, still had another year, so
Speaker 9: I could have been like in college for like six
Speaker 9: years or something.
Speaker 3: So you still have eligibility. Yeah, I got eligibility. Now
Speaker 3: you get done plane you should try Why not.
Speaker 9: That anyways, just put pro guys back in college. Some
Speaker 9: people are making way more than I'm making right now.
Speaker 9: That's crazy, but I think it's I don't know, I
Speaker 9: don't know how real. Some of those deals are like
Speaker 9: like you know, like it's like, oh, he signed this,
Speaker 9: but there's a lot of deliverables and it can fall
Speaker 9: through and what if you transfer. I don't know enough
Speaker 9: about it. Yeah, people are getting sued now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I think sabans like he went up to like Congress
Speaker 9: or whatever and is trying to like get it all
Speaker 9: figured out whatever you like, figured out the ruling on it.
Speaker 9: So I don't know, but I don't think the Alabama thing,
Speaker 9: like paying players was as big as a thing.
Speaker 3: Said yeah, but we had coach on he was a
Speaker 3: great time.
Speaker 9: Did he say anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like used to go through the back door,
Speaker 3: now you can walk to the front door.
Speaker 2: He seems like the man.

Speaker 1: Hang hit BQ, be my guest. All right, the hardest
Speaker 1: hitting question of the day.
Speaker 9: Oh god, Mac.
Speaker 1: We know that anybody would do anything for an ice
Speaker 1: cold bud light. What is something that Mac Jones would

Speaker 3: me for a super Bowl. Wow.
Speaker 9: Oh so the next part is me, what would you
Speaker 9: do to get that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: If you have an answer like winning super Bowl, because
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of people say Natty or super Bowl.
Speaker 9: That'd be said. Brock said, just what about did anybody
Speaker 9: go like to add like fifty years onder your life
Speaker 9: some shit like that.
Speaker 2: No, oh no, I don't feel like that.
Speaker 9: We're getting into another leftl Yes, that's why I asked. Yeah, yeah, Like,
Speaker 9: what would you do to add one hundred years on
Speaker 9: your life or would you do any of that?
Speaker 3: You would do anything that one hundred years on your life?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 9: Why not?
Speaker 3: Healthy years? Healthy?
Speaker 1: Good, solid years?
Speaker 3: I don't know, actually, like do you want to be
Speaker 3: like somebody you know, you just want to be the
Speaker 3: last one standing for.
Speaker 9: The you get to see like your grand You're great, great, great,
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, like the next true.
Speaker 3: But are they going to give a shit about you? Like,
Speaker 3: how what's your relationship with your great grandpa?
Speaker 9: My grandpa is one hundred and ninety's the last Alabama
Speaker 9: quarterback to see. I can just I can just profit
Speaker 9: off of that for the next two hundred years.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I guess I'd probably just say win a super Bowl.
Speaker 9: It's school.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 9: That'd be sick. Yeah, like you do anything? Probably not.
Speaker 9: What's the next part of this.
Speaker 1: Line of how far it would be to win a
Speaker 1: super Bowl, the more.
Speaker 3: Guys that still have like middle school brains, so we
Speaker 3: just say the craziest.
Speaker 9: Yeah, probably super Bowl. I don't know if my threshold
Speaker 9: would be high as high as you guys think though,
Speaker 9: Like what.
Speaker 2: I would do to do it?
Speaker 9: Like what if some people said that they would give
Speaker 9: for that to win a super Bowl?
Speaker 1: They would cut it off?
Speaker 9: Yea, that'd be one probably.
Speaker 1: Not dude said when one guy said he would French
Speaker 1: kiss really, yeah you did say that. Yeah, two guys
Speaker 1: that actually said they kiss you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as.
Speaker 9: They get a ring too, you get a ring to
Speaker 9: Oh you're you're on the side, bet, I guess.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I need something. Am I going to be
Speaker 3: the vessel?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You get to be a part of it, You get
Speaker 1: to be a part of their journey.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't know what I would give up. That's a
Speaker 9: good question. I really don't.
Speaker 1: If you can any superpower, what would it be?
Speaker 9: God, that's another one. It's kind of crazy. It's not
Speaker 9: really a superpower, but like speak every language would be
Speaker 9: sick because you could, like you know, that's off brands superpower.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I guess like being invisible would be kind
Speaker 9: of sick. Like no, like you could learn and hear
Speaker 9: things about people. You would know everything before it happened
Speaker 9: because you're in the room.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think you have a lot of room to get
Speaker 1: in trouble invisible.
Speaker 9: I don't know, like stuff where you can gain knowledge
Speaker 9: on people, like learning languages. If you knew every language,
Speaker 9: you can communicate with everybody and make more money. Do
Speaker 9: this than that, you know what I'm saying, That'd be
Speaker 9: kind of sick.
Speaker 3: Is touch any book and you just retain them, That'll
Speaker 3: be sick.
Speaker 9: I guess that's a cool one.
Speaker 3: Taylor's got a nice one is do you know exactly
Speaker 3: how to kind of put boundaries on it? Because we
Speaker 3: were trying to.
Speaker 2: Yeah we were.
Speaker 1: We had a full, like not high but super high
Speaker 1: conversation about with Jared one day. But Dude, to me,
Speaker 1: this is the best superpower you can possibly have, and
Speaker 1: it's to be able to manipulate time. So you go
Speaker 1: through something like you're you're in a game, you throw
Speaker 1: a pick, like you can rewind four seconds. Okay, exactly
Speaker 1: what coverage this is? We can do this over and
Speaker 1: over and over again, Like if I'm tired right now,
Speaker 1: I can really pause this entire podcast, go take a nap,
Speaker 1: come back. You say something dumb.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, over and.
Speaker 1: Over and over again to where like you just get
Speaker 1: it right. I imagine myself you.
Speaker 3: Kind of, can't you. Yeah, he's he's trying to structure.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about I'm talking about legit superpower, Like there
Speaker 1: is no kryptonite to this. Jack. Could you imagine us
Speaker 1: being in Vegas at the Baker table and be like,
Speaker 1: all right, forty on Banker and you get it and
Speaker 1: the player gets a natural nine rewind forty on player
Speaker 1: bank Yeah money.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's honestly is that fun?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 9: That is like you lose, right, and then you want
Speaker 9: to go back and like play again.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Here's here's the or you do sometimes and not the others,
Speaker 9: So you gotta lose something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Otherwise that took place a sports that missed I
Speaker 1: missed the bar, So you got to lose some where
Speaker 1: you don't learn always wine, you just win. Just w
Speaker 1: We were at E Sports and Jared when against a
Speaker 1: sixteen year old kid in a one on one and
Speaker 1: got it did not go well for Jared gona be respectful,
Speaker 1: But if he had the power to manipulate time. The
Speaker 1: argument is, could Jared Beman back left? Could he play
Speaker 1: a professional sport? And the answer could be yes.
Speaker 2: Me and Taylor saying, if you can rewind over and
Speaker 2: over again, you have a video, we don't have to
Speaker 2: pull it up. Fire me up, I'll see this guy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: The argument is, as as he pulls up the video,
Speaker 11: every millimeter of the play, if I could just keep
Speaker 11: redoing it, redo it, redo it, redo it, see what
Speaker 11: the guy is doing, could I eventually like get past
Speaker 11: a like I don't even know, like a bunch of
Speaker 11: dudes on the field.
Speaker 1: Like if you were running back, sure, running back, or
Speaker 1: if there's why receive you get.
Speaker 9: Smoked every time?
Speaker 2: To you just rewind and do it again, they'd also
Speaker 2: react differently, right, No, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You would have to push it to the level of
Speaker 3: figuring out what the edge would be in that particular moment.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying for him, you to be on a
Speaker 3: professional field, you still have to go through college. You'd
Speaker 3: have to make it. You have to make the team.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm like Alabama, bro, Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: it was Alabama that I could beat Alabama, And like,
Speaker 3: there's just no way like just your gene pool no
Speaker 3: disrespect to Jerrybid like it.
Speaker 9: Just you were coaching and that and you had that,
Speaker 9: you'd be unbelievable, right yeah, because you.
Speaker 1: Had the athletic capability. Because JP brings up a good
Speaker 1: point of like the reaction, like you're changing things, but
Speaker 1: like these elite athletes have incredible reaction time to they
Speaker 1: can get in a bad position and still win.
Speaker 9: Right from forty yards out, Jared's literally never scoring a touchdown, right, No, Yeah,
Speaker 9: that's getting howked That's what.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Hill and hill, He's just going to be time.
Speaker 1: As soon as we gets your first second, he follows.
Speaker 9: There's a hole that he missed or something. You can
Speaker 9: rewind and cut back, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If you have infinite they're still gonna get infinite options.
Speaker 1: It's the greatest superpower.
Speaker 3: How much obviously you're going back in time, but how
Speaker 3: much time are you just coming to waste?
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's why you need the two hundred years?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, you get a gig going on it
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a long boy.
Speaker 3: I was getting the breakdown of our conversation because I'm like,
Speaker 3: you need to stem them at about seven yards you
Speaker 3: need to break down, like you're gonna break in and
Speaker 3: then go to the corner.
Speaker 2: Just wait or take off on a go ball.
Speaker 1: Jared getting in this first wide receiver stands, you know,
Speaker 1: like there's been very little reps. It's not it's not
Speaker 1: sharp yet his nose. Oh yeah, os, guy, there it is.
Speaker 2: God damn man, Will made a documentary.
Speaker 9: I didn't even see it.
Speaker 3: You don't. I'm not a kid. Yeah, I got caught
Speaker 3: watching the.
Speaker 1: Plane keeping my that's hard to yeah, kid both but anyway,
Speaker 1: the sixteen year old bodybags.
Speaker 3: But yeah, are you not able to fast forward?
Speaker 2: I'll watch it later and give you guys, this is
Speaker 2: a movie the longest.
Speaker 9: This is the craziest. Know, here we go, we're getting closer.
Speaker 9: He's going out to the line of scrimmage, all the
Speaker 9: live bagger stance.
Speaker 1: Hope you guys said, no, no, what the are you doing?
Speaker 3: You gotta get show this kid.
Speaker 1: He just can't ready to put over there. This kid,
Speaker 1: this kid has at puberty yet.
Speaker 9: Oh god, go that's a that's a flag and there's
Speaker 9: the ball ground that he didn't catch it and.
Speaker 4: You on that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, see, I don't think going back and he's locking
Speaker 9: him up.
Speaker 1: No, matter what, no matter what.
Speaker 3: If I could see where that kid was going, that's
Speaker 3: a kid that we started talking about against Alan, you
Speaker 3: would beat the kid.
Speaker 9: But yeah, you're not doing It's not as cool as
Speaker 9: we think.
Speaker 2: I could go on for an hour.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got my back.
Speaker 1: It's one of those conversations that is kind of infinite.
Speaker 1: This is also a guy who says, what's the video
Speaker 1: game you like? Minecraft?
Speaker 3: Minecraft? Thinks Minecraft is harder to learn and retain than football.
Speaker 3: Like a football, there's more things. There's more things to
Speaker 3: learn in the game of Minecraft than there is football.
Speaker 9: No it is, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Sure, they're just basically is more things in Minecraft.
Speaker 3: But he started that's what because he needed to find
Speaker 3: a way to win the argument. But he started off
Speaker 3: that it would be harder to learn and retain the
Speaker 3: information of Minecraft than with football. We put that the
Speaker 3: bad stuffed him in a lot. Instead, he had to
Speaker 3: figure out you you gave in on that.
Speaker 9: I gotta see this. I just got tired of the argument. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: you kept trying to change the argument like football is
Speaker 9: ever changing too. So there's new Minecraft.
Speaker 2: Minecraft does to right, has updates? It does it has
Speaker 2: They see it like fifty years still like eight.
Speaker 7: Chat GBT says, learning the ins and out of football
Speaker 7: is much harder. Minecraft has a learning curve, but football
Speaker 7: is incredibly complex things.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's who. That's what you moved it to because
Speaker 3: I got Chat to give me that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God did we do.
Speaker 3: The Yeah we did the like, yeah we did. It's
Speaker 3: been a good hang.

Speaker 6: guy who ran who is this wood Of course it's
Speaker 6: Woody dude, So like, yes, that is probably true because
