Speaker 1: She asked me if I want to have a glass
Speaker 1: of rose. I said absolutely, because he turned down Julia
Speaker 1: Roberts in a glass of rose. And we ended up
Speaker 1: finishing off a bottle of rose and it was fantastic.
Speaker 1: Every year I sent her a case of rose. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he drinks it or not, but you
Speaker 1: know I send it to her.
Speaker 2: We have a living legend on the Bobby Cast Today,
Speaker 2: super Bowl Champion with the New York Giants. He's a
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. He's co anchor of Good Morning America.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk to Michael Strahan from setting a single
Speaker 2: season sack record, he flew in Space with Blue Origin,
Speaker 2: which we'll talk about. Like he's all over the place.
Speaker 2: He also has a collection and it's called The Collection
Speaker 2: by Michael Strahan. It suits, It's in one hundred Belk
Speaker 2: stores and it's online. And I love this guy. I've
Speaker 2: been able to work with them a couple of times
Speaker 2: beyond Good Morning America, and he was so nice. We
Speaker 2: talk about that and we talked football on TV and
Speaker 2: business space and everything in between. If you don't know him, well,
Speaker 2: you're about to love him. Here he is. My conversation
Speaker 2: with Michael Strahan. Michael Strahan, what's up, man?
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? I'm so hungry. I'm on here eating
Speaker 1: from Starburst.
Speaker 2: You eat Starburst. I'm surprised that you, for two reasons,
Speaker 2: would eat Starbursts.
Speaker 1: Probably had him in years, but and that's why they're
Speaker 1: probably harder than a rock. They're all kind of harder
Speaker 1: than a rock right now, but I mean, deferate times
Speaker 1: off for different.
Speaker 2: Is it that desperate you gotta eat old Starburst?
Speaker 1: I'm not desperate right now.
Speaker 2: Let me just say it's been it's been a few minutes.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you remember me, but I
Speaker 2: have a couple of Michael Strahan stories. Once once I
Speaker 2: was in New York for something else, and I got
Speaker 2: a call going, hey, will you go up to GMA
Speaker 2: and talk to Michael Strahan about Old Town Road? And
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, sure, So I threw on some
Speaker 2: g I literally threw on some jeans and a B
Speaker 2: plus shirt and went up and talking about Oldtown Road
Speaker 2: whenever Lolana's X was blowing up. Now it's kind of
Speaker 2: fun because you're just the easiest got to be around.
Speaker 2: And then obviously when I you know, I want to
Speaker 2: dancing with the Stars. That was kind of odd that
Speaker 2: that was a fun one too. But uh, I always
Speaker 2: tell people like, you're a big dude, but you're a
Speaker 2: very warm guy. You feel like you've always been that
Speaker 2: way towards people.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that, and
Speaker 1: I remember meeting you every time. So yeah, I've always
Speaker 1: felt like people are important. I was always growing up
Speaker 1: as a kid, was kind of had those jobs that
Speaker 1: you weren't the scene person in when you're cutting the
Speaker 1: grass or you're moving furniture and people just don't see you.
Speaker 1: You're kind of just there. So for me, it's always
Speaker 1: about being warm and making people feel seen. So and
Speaker 1: I like people, so yeah, I always I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm that guy except for the football field. Outside of that,
Speaker 1: I'm actually pretty nice.
Speaker 2: Was that a switch?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh yeah, you gotta have a switch. You
Speaker 1: have to be a It's weird when I was a
Speaker 1: kid kid, being like twenty one in the first year
Speaker 1: in the league. You have to you think for years,
Speaker 1: like I got to be mad at that guy. I
Speaker 1: gotta be mad he said something about my mama, Like
Speaker 1: you're creating all these scenarios in your head. But as
Speaker 1: I got older, it was, hey, we can have the
Speaker 1: conversation right now. Like to hold on, Bobby, put my
Speaker 1: helmet on, run out there, look at the guy, Smile
Speaker 1: at him, beat him up a little bit, come back,
Speaker 1: put the helmet down, and continue the conversation. It was
Speaker 1: more about learning how to control your aggression and how
Speaker 1: to control your focus. And it took me some years
Speaker 1: to do it, but it made the game easier, made
Speaker 1: it more relaxed, made it more fun, less stressful. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely felt like you have to have a switch.
Speaker 1: If you don't, you'll burn yourself out quickly.
Speaker 2: I think it's been pretty amazing to watch the new
Speaker 2: professional identity you've created. But I do, and I work
Speaker 2: for the NFL, and I work with Matt Cassel, who
Speaker 2: was a quarterback, and we talked a lot about athletes
Speaker 2: when they leave, they kind of have to figure out
Speaker 2: who they are because all they've ever done is be
Speaker 2: that was that you know mentally for you? Was that
Speaker 2: a struggle?
Speaker 1: Absolutely? I knew I had a job with Fox when
Speaker 1: I retired, I mean that was that was done. I'd
Speaker 1: already had a deal that signed and put in a
Speaker 1: drawer and the first year of that deal went by,
Speaker 1: and I still I went back to the Giants. It
Speaker 1: wasn't about having a job. It was about having a
Speaker 1: you know, being comfortable. And my first year at Fox,
Speaker 1: first three weeks, I was thinking I should have gone
Speaker 1: back to play football. This TV stuff is not for me.
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's a lot harder than it looks. But
Speaker 1: once I got it down, I love it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: football was just it's something we've done on our whole lives,
Speaker 1: and how do you transition out of that? And you
Speaker 1: walk into a room and you feel like that's all
Speaker 1: everybody sees as the football player. They don't see the
Speaker 1: human being. They don't see someone who has other interest
Speaker 1: someone who is more rounded than what they expected an
Speaker 1: athlete to be. So yeah, that was a big adjustment
Speaker 1: for me. Even though I knew I had a job,
Speaker 1: it still was tough.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like when you would go into a
Speaker 2: room that you would try to prove you were more
Speaker 2: of what you actually were, but try to be more
Speaker 2: of that so people would take you as that instead
Speaker 2: of just an athlete.
Speaker 1: I think at some point probably probably, But I remember
Speaker 1: I was talking to a movie guy, movie producer, and
Speaker 1: I remember saying to him, Yeah, you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like I go into these things because I thought I
Speaker 1: wanted to be an actur at that point. So I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I go to these auditions and I feel like I
Speaker 1: walk in and they just go. Hear the football player
Speaker 1: and he said, people will see you as you see
Speaker 1: yourself and he said that, and it kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got to take myself out of just that football
Speaker 1: player of mentality. And once I did that, it's like
Speaker 1: a lot of different things start to happen. I think
Speaker 1: people did see me in a different light. I think
Speaker 1: being just taking advantage of opportunity, and by that I
Speaker 1: mean getting over the fear of failure, to feel your
Speaker 1: fear of being in front of a group of people
Speaker 1: and something not working out, just saying yes to something
Speaker 1: just for the experience of it, and see where that led.
Speaker 1: And I look back now and I'm so grateful that
Speaker 1: I kind of got over the fear of the failure,
Speaker 1: the fear of feeling like you're you're you're gonna look
Speaker 1: stupid if you do something, and just get rid of
Speaker 1: all that stuff, drop your ego at the door, and
Speaker 1: go to work. And that's what I did, and it's
Speaker 1: worked out.
Speaker 2: How early did you start doing Live with Kelly and
Speaker 2: Michael from after you retired.
Speaker 1: Think a fourth year out of football? Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: my fourth year out.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you were ready for that or
Speaker 2: do you feel like that was training camp for what
Speaker 2: you're doing now?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, I was ready for that because coming from Fox,
Speaker 1: got four other guys that have to listen to and
Speaker 1: pay attention to. That was tough. Live was probably the
Speaker 1: easiest show I've ever done, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: because it was more personality driven. It was more you know,
Speaker 1: paid by celebrity driven, more fun and upbeat. So that
Speaker 1: was just kind of natural to me, and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I loved it. It was It was really a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. And GMA is a little bit of that,
Speaker 1: but you have the news and you have other components,
Speaker 1: so it required for you to have a different range
Speaker 1: and much more and much more rounded range and Live.
Speaker 1: But I felt like I was ready for Live. GMA
Speaker 1: and Football were the two that when I first started,
Speaker 1: I was a little overwhelmed. Live felt natural. It was
Speaker 1: just a good fit.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like playing football you would get more
Speaker 2: scrutiny like film or once you started doing GMA when
Speaker 2: they were Were you getting scrutiny from you know, producers
Speaker 2: or executives.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's weird producers and executives in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. You need people around you outside of that
Speaker 1: who we're going to tell you the truth. And not
Speaker 1: that they don't tell you the truth, but I think
Speaker 1: a lot of them is so afraid to upset what
Speaker 1: they call the talent, so they they will go around
Speaker 1: and try to hopefully get around that gets to you
Speaker 1: around the bend, not directly to your face, but coming
Speaker 1: from football, I'm used to it, like a coach cursing
Speaker 1: you out, screaming at you, talking about everything about you.
Speaker 1: You just got to take it, or you just got
Speaker 1: to tough en up. And I'm being on the field
Speaker 1: and having guys do that or being in to have
Speaker 1: the media do that to you have to have a
Speaker 1: bad game or bad season. So I was pretty tough
Speaker 1: from the football aspect of it. I think that the
Speaker 1: other criticism that you get, I think I was. I
Speaker 1: judge myself a lot harder than anybody in the newspaper
Speaker 1: is going to judge me. So I just learned when
Speaker 1: I played football, and I remember telling one of the
Speaker 1: reporters this after he had kind of pissed me off,
Speaker 1: I said, well, you know what I learned, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna let take that. I'm not gonna let the opinion
Speaker 1: of someone upset me who the last time they put
Speaker 1: on a football uniform is when their mom took them
Speaker 1: trick or treating. And it's very easy for me to
Speaker 1: criticize what you do. I can't do what you do,
Speaker 1: but I know one thing I could do what those
Speaker 1: guys were doing. They couldn't do what I was doing
Speaker 1: at the time. So I used to always look at
Speaker 1: it and think, no one is more. People want to
Speaker 1: our people want to see succeed, but most people, you know,
Speaker 1: sometime they don't. But then if they don't and you
Speaker 1: have a comeback, they like that too. And being in
Speaker 1: New York to have that thick skin, so I developed
Speaker 1: it here man, and it's worked great for me.
Speaker 2: It's weird. You bring up a great point, like our
Speaker 2: culture is funny because they love to build you up.
Speaker 2: They don't always love to see you stay up there
Speaker 2: because then they love to knock you down, and then
Speaker 2: they love to see you build yourself back up again
Speaker 2: after they've built you up and knocked you down. It's
Speaker 2: almost like they want to yo yo you. That's exactly what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I will tell you, if you could build
Speaker 1: yourself back up after getting knocked down, then you almost
Speaker 1: feel like nothing could take you down again, you know,
Speaker 1: unless you do something to sabotage yourself. But I enjoy that.
Speaker 1: I enjoy channing and being challenged. I enjoy people doubting.
Speaker 1: I think that's what motivates for me, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, to keep on doing all these things that
Speaker 1: no one expected this football guy to do. So I'll
Speaker 1: take it as motivation and I take it as fuel.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I have anything to prove anymore
Speaker 1: to anybody, and now I do things that I love
Speaker 1: to do, and I enjoy doing it and just trying
Speaker 1: to prove to myself that I can accomplish and be
Speaker 1: good at something.
Speaker 2: What time do you wake up in the morning?
Speaker 1: Five am? Oh, that ain't so bad, not so bad,
Speaker 1: you know, Like George wakes up at three three thirty
Speaker 1: and Robin's like four four point thirty, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we meditate. I'm like, well I do too, it's called sleep.
Speaker 1: Why why so I wake up at five and it's
Speaker 1: it's a great job, man. I love it. I actually
Speaker 1: enjoy going in. I think moving our studios all the
Speaker 1: way downtown has brought a different kind of vibe and
Speaker 1: feeling to it and has reinvigorated everybody there. So it's
Speaker 1: a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Do you have any moments with Good Morning America? And
Speaker 2: I'll just compare it out for a week, I went
Speaker 2: and I hosted The Today Show. I hope that's not a.
Speaker 1: Bad word, but I want to know not at all.
Speaker 1: I love them.
Speaker 2: I hosted The Today Show and Queen Elizabeth died one
Speaker 2: of the days that I was doing it, and so
Speaker 2: it just it threw everything off, meaning it was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: we had all this planned, but now we're going straight coverage.
Speaker 2: It's Queen Elizabeth. Has have any of those big world
Speaker 2: events happened to you where you've had to go all
Speaker 2: right time to you know, just tighten up and we
Speaker 2: got to change.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely every day. I mean, we we got
Speaker 1: a situation going on and you're on right now. So
Speaker 1: it's like you're in the middle of something and something
Speaker 1: happened and it's breaking news and you got to break
Speaker 1: in the show. Get thrown in flux and when you
Speaker 1: first start, oh man, you don't know what's going on,
Speaker 1: your mind just spinning because you've never experienced it. But
Speaker 1: now you kind of get used to it. It's not
Speaker 1: that it's easy, but you're able to calm yourself down
Speaker 1: and process everything to get through it. And that's what's
Speaker 1: kind of fun about is the unpredictability of it, because
Speaker 1: if every day is just the same, after a while
Speaker 1: you can go in there and be a robot and
Speaker 1: do the job. I'm like, okay, you guys can just
Speaker 1: ai me and I'll stay home. You still get this
Speaker 1: job done. But yeah, you got to be able to
Speaker 1: just move and flex and be flexible with everything. Sometimes
Speaker 1: one of the worst is went out like we're talking,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're remote messes up and then Cara,
Speaker 1: You're like, we got to probably be right back. The
Speaker 1: panic is real, But it's fun. Man. That's the interesting
Speaker 1: part about my job is that I get to talk
Speaker 1: to interesting people like yourself, get to meet a ton
Speaker 1: of people, get to cover world events. So my highlights
Speaker 1: I went to to when they coordinate King Charles, I
Speaker 1: did the coordination for ABC. I let the coverage so
Speaker 1: I'm throwing all the raw experts and I have to
Speaker 1: be an expert on the subject myself to go to
Speaker 1: places like Easter Island and cover the Mai statues and
Speaker 1: the ecosystem there. So it's like all these interesting places
Speaker 1: I get to go around the world to cover different
Speaker 1: things and topics and people and animals and everything.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic the documentary you did about your daughter's fight
Speaker 2: against cancer, and I believe that's even in the title
Speaker 2: of it, that's that's professional, but it's extremely personal. And
Speaker 2: this is a professional question. But I'm assuming in final
Speaker 2: cuts when you get the decision of what's going to
Speaker 2: be shown, like you're having a balance. This is your
Speaker 2: daughter's journey, and yet it's also being made as a documentary.
Speaker 2: To me, what seemed like to allow people to see
Speaker 2: they're not alone, and like to also to show you
Speaker 2: know what had happened, but that a lot of folks
Speaker 2: are like, how did you balance that?
Speaker 1: Well, that's all unheard. I'll be honest with you. My
Speaker 1: daughter the main because I when when we got the
Speaker 1: diagnosis and she was going through what she was going through,
Speaker 1: she couldn't find anybody her age to to communicate with.
Speaker 1: To to share, to be comfortable with. So that's why
Speaker 1: she wanted to reach out and like post all these
Speaker 1: blog blogs and do all blogs and do all these things.
Speaker 1: And when they came to when we thought about doing
Speaker 1: the doc, I'll be honest with you, Bobby, I've never
Speaker 1: seen it.
Speaker 2: Oh still still because it because you lived it or too.
Speaker 2: It's too hard that much.
Speaker 1: I lived it, and it's too hard to watch and
Speaker 1: be in there every day and senend it every day.
Speaker 1: That is one the one project where I said, okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to do this, I told her you
Speaker 1: don't have to do this. She wanted to do this
Speaker 1: because she wanted to help other people. So I was
Speaker 1: a one project. So I said handed it to the
Speaker 1: team and said, here you go. This is this is
Speaker 1: my baby. Take care of my baby. But I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't be involved on a daily and look at this.
Speaker 1: But she's been remission, she's you know, checkups are great,
Speaker 1: she's back in college. But yeah, it's a very hard.
Speaker 1: That was a very hard time because I have to
Speaker 1: go to work every day and put on a brave,
Speaker 1: happy face, but yet I know when I go home,
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with a daughter who I have to take
Speaker 1: to get radiation treatments, or I got to go to
Speaker 1: give her you should take her to do her chemo treatment.
Speaker 1: So it was, it was it was tough, you know,
Speaker 1: rushing to the hospital at night if she gets the fever,
Speaker 1: and then you know, showing up in the morning and
Speaker 1: acting and being in a way in which, okay that
Speaker 1: I can't let my personal side interact with my professional side.
Speaker 1: But her putting it out there really did help me
Speaker 1: in a sense that I didn't feel like I feel
Speaker 1: like I could express what was going on with the
Speaker 1: people that were close to me, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I had to hold something back. And because she didn't
Speaker 1: want the world to know, she wanted the world to
Speaker 1: know because she felt it was a good way to
Speaker 1: to help other people in the world.
Speaker 2: How did you compartmentalize that?
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like football a switch. Be
Speaker 1: honest with you, It's like a switch. And it's a
Speaker 1: gift in a curse because I can have something serious
Speaker 1: and I can block it out and do it, can
Speaker 1: do in a moment, and I can go right back
Speaker 1: to it, and I can block it out and go
Speaker 1: do other things. It's a gift in a curse. But
Speaker 1: in this case it was the gift. And yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just compartmentalized then. And I think playing sports, playing
Speaker 1: football and having to develop that skill helped in this case.
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,
Speaker 3: and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2: And I spent time going up in Germany. I'd never
Speaker 2: been until recently, and I stopped in Munich and I
Speaker 2: got a hot dog, and I really put I put
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on that hot dog being good,
Speaker 2: just because you got a broathw was I got it? Yes,
Speaker 2: and so at high, hopes high and I got and
Speaker 2: it met every expectation that I could have ever had. Yes,
Speaker 2: And I talk about it. If anybody's like, you ever
Speaker 2: been to Germany, I'm like, not only have I been
Speaker 2: to Germany, let me tell you about this hot dog
Speaker 2: at a street fair? It was abroad. There's definitely a broade.
Speaker 2: So what ages were you there?
Speaker 1: I was. We moved in Germany and when I was nine,
Speaker 1: and then I came back to the States for half
Speaker 1: of my senior year to play football and lived with
Speaker 1: my uncle in Houston for five months, got one football
Speaker 1: scholarship the Texas Southern, got back on the plane in
Speaker 1: December for Christmas and flew back to Germany and graduated
Speaker 1: high school there. So I was there from nine till seventeen,
Speaker 1: eighteen years old. My parents stayed until I was twenty seven.
Speaker 1: I was in the NFL for a six seven years
Speaker 1: before my parents moved back, So I would still go back.
Speaker 1: I'd go see my family. Obviously, I felt when I
Speaker 1: first came back here for high school for that half
Speaker 1: of my senior year, I felt more a German and
Speaker 1: European than I felt the American that was home. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was definitely a culture shock to come
Speaker 1: back to the States.
Speaker 2: Did you only play American football then? For one year?
Speaker 1: I played one year in high school. Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: no idea what I was doing. Man, I was just
Speaker 1: like running around getting the guy with the ball just whoever.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I knew no technique. I watched
Speaker 1: the game on TV. You know, you just tackle the
Speaker 1: guy with the ball. So if I could do that,
Speaker 1: I got one scholarship and then from there I figured
Speaker 1: it out and I learned, you know, I really learned
Speaker 1: a lot about how to do it. I watched TV, man,
Speaker 1: I would watch NFL games on Sunday. Even when I
Speaker 1: was in college, I'd watch NFL games on Sunday, and
Speaker 1: I'm just watching a guy and what he's doing and
Speaker 1: how he's successful at different things. And I remember reading
Speaker 1: in those something and these magazines that needs to have
Speaker 1: the players their size, their weight, all these things, and
Speaker 1: I remember going, I need to be six five two fifty.
Speaker 1: I need to be six five two fifty. And my
Speaker 1: brothers aren't big guys really, And I ended up being
Speaker 1: like sixty five at times in my career, a little
Speaker 1: bit over to fifty other big bone but but by
Speaker 1: the end it up. But by by the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I ended up being would always imagine I
Speaker 1: needed to be in order to be successful in the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Is there a person, both in sports and in your
Speaker 2: we'll call it your second life in media who believed
Speaker 2: in you and you look at that person and go, man,
Speaker 2: if it wasn't for that person, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I'd be here.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's two people at different favors than
Speaker 1: my life. Number one is my dad. My dad, Major
Speaker 1: Jean Willie Strahan Senior, passed away a few years ago,
Speaker 1: but incredibly great, great father and a great man, and
Speaker 1: my dad growing up would always say when not if so?
Speaker 1: He said, when you do this, when you do that,
Speaker 1: when you go back to this day with your uncle
Speaker 1: and get the scholarship, when you make it to the pros,
Speaker 1: when I mean everything was when never if so? In
Speaker 1: my mind, I believe anything was possible. I never had
Speaker 1: any doubt. So my dad was that growing up. And
Speaker 1: then once football was over, my business partner, Constant Swarts,
Speaker 1: it was like Constance kind of picked up the baton
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget the first time I did live
Speaker 1: I was a guest host. I was nervous as all
Speaker 1: could be. I do it. We get backstage and she
Speaker 1: looks at me and go, this is what you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: This is your next job, this is your next get.
Speaker 1: This type of business is what you're gonna do. And
Speaker 1: from there to everything that I do now on the
Speaker 1: business side to the television side, it's all because Constance
Speaker 1: has taken over the role that my dad had all
Speaker 1: those years growing up. And yeah, between the two of them,
Speaker 1: they have really taken care of me.
Speaker 2: This may be a really corny question, but what was
Speaker 2: it like in space?
Speaker 1: Oh? Amazing? Well, I tell you. People will ask me that,
Speaker 1: and I could sit here and take our whole time
Speaker 1: together to describe it to you. But in essence, the
Speaker 1: whole thing was twelve minutes up and down twelve minutes.
Speaker 1: But because you're so hyper aware of every sound, every feeling, everything,
Speaker 1: it feels like it was ours. When you're sitting in
Speaker 1: that capsule and you're watching that screen and it's telling
Speaker 1: you the countdown clock, and then they added more time
Speaker 1: to our countdown clock, which makes you go, huh, why
Speaker 1: did they do that wrong? And they're coming on they're like, no,
Speaker 1: nothing's wrong or okay, and you're watching that countdown clock,
Speaker 1: and once you get to two and a half minutes,
Speaker 1: then it goes on the computer. You're locked in. So
Speaker 1: until then you got two things you can say one
Speaker 1: time out, which means they'll come on and try to say, okay, Bobby,
Speaker 1: you can do this, you got it, or I don't
Speaker 1: want to fly today. Then they'll just come take you off.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the countdown clock and I'm like, ooh,
Speaker 1: is anybody on here gonna say they don't want to
Speaker 1: party to break? And if they do, will I go
Speaker 1: with them? And once you get past that threshold where
Speaker 1: you realize you're locked in and you have no other
Speaker 1: option but to do it. It is such a calming
Speaker 1: piece over your body. You're not even scared. It's a piece.
Speaker 1: And once we took off and the thing is moving up,
Speaker 1: everybody just screamed, like unprompted screen because it was like
Speaker 1: all this joy and press are relieved and you're flying. Man,
Speaker 1: I mean you look up there to screen, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're forty thousand square feet I mean forty feet thousand
Speaker 1: feet in the air and we have we're going three
Speaker 1: hundred mileths per hour. You're like, okay, cars that due
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty thousand. I've been on a plane.
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, you look up, you're like two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand feet in the air doing two thousand mileths
Speaker 1: per hour. And you were in the light looking at
Speaker 1: the darkness. Now you're in the dark looking back at
Speaker 1: the light. And the first time you realize that they
Speaker 1: released the main rocket and you go like that and
Speaker 1: you go, oh my gosh, my arms are floating. Then
Speaker 1: once you release your seat belts, you put them, you
Speaker 1: take them off, You push yourself with the pressure of
Speaker 1: holding up a cell phone with two fingers. That's it.
Speaker 1: Don't ever use your left You'll break your neck. Don't
Speaker 1: blow like the cartoon. You're not gonna move anywhere. Don't
Speaker 1: do that. You're not going anywhere. It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: But you push off of that seat and you're just floating.
Speaker 1: You're doing spinning, and you're looking out the window and
Speaker 1: it looks like you know, when you leave your phone,
Speaker 1: your TV on the iPhone and I mean the apple
Speaker 1: and the circular screen and just looking back at the planet.
Speaker 1: It makes you realize how insignificant we are to the
Speaker 1: grand scheme of everything here, and it gives you a
Speaker 1: different sense of what your life is, your family like
Speaker 1: you start you get become peaceful with the fact of
Speaker 1: death when you're getting ready to take off, because you
Speaker 1: realize this could go awry. But then you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to leave my family. I don't want them
Speaker 1: to leave me. And you realize how much love that
Speaker 1: there is that you have inside of you, uh, and
Speaker 1: but how insignificant the grand scheme of the world you are.
Speaker 1: At the same time, it's just the most unique feeling
Speaker 1: I've ever ever felt.
Speaker 2: Man, And you didn't take it all to yell, I
Speaker 2: don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: You were in.
Speaker 2: You were locked in.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I thought I didn't want to do it. You know,
Speaker 1: when I got the call to do what I had,
Speaker 1: I was at I went to the first launch that
Speaker 1: Bethos dead. Jeff and his brother Mark and I went
Speaker 1: for gm A and I'm like, okay, you know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch these guys go up in a spaceship. I'm
Speaker 1: not a space guy. I watched it, and I said,
Speaker 1: this is the coolest thing. When the rocket came back
Speaker 1: and landed on the pad by itself there you can't
Speaker 1: see that. I'm thinking, I'll just see them up there
Speaker 1: and they'll come down like a roller coaster. That's really hot.
Speaker 2: Hot.
Speaker 1: No, they were gone, then they come down. I talked
Speaker 1: to them. It was the most unbridled joy I've ever
Speaker 1: seen out of human being in my life. Everybody who
Speaker 1: did it, and I said, this is the coolest thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. When that rocket land I think this
Speaker 1: is like Iron Man cool. A few weeks later, I
Speaker 1: get invited to dinner with them and another couple and
Speaker 1: I got there late because I was doing Thursday night
Speaker 1: football at that point for Fox, and I'm eating my
Speaker 1: cold left the cold leftovers that they left me, and
Speaker 1: I said, you know that rocket thing. I would say
Speaker 1: I would never do that, but I would do that.
Speaker 1: That was one of the coolest thing that I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: A few days later, I'm playing golf and I get
Speaker 1: a call and it's Jeff and he goes, I think
Speaker 1: you know what this is about. I'm like, yeah, And
Speaker 1: I was so excited for you. I'm in, man, I'm in.
Speaker 1: A week before I was like, maybe I got COVID maybe, dude.
Speaker 1: I was scared to death. I was like, what did
Speaker 1: I sign up for? Because then the interim you got
Speaker 1: to get your paperwork in order, you know. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this could be the last week I'd see my family
Speaker 1: and friends. It could be it. But it ended up
Speaker 1: being magnificent. And by the time you get on that ship,
Speaker 1: they've explained everything to you. You sat with the engineers
Speaker 1: who built the rocket, you set with other astronauts who
Speaker 1: have gone in the space. They do an incredible job
Speaker 1: of educating you. So when you get on the ship,
Speaker 1: you feel confident you're ready to go. My family cried.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were crying because they wanted
Speaker 1: me back or they didn't, but they said they cried
Speaker 1: and I had the best time, the best time.
Speaker 2: I want to ask about the coach vic experience as
Speaker 2: a kid growing up, love Michael Vicker Virginia Tech, like
Speaker 2: he was that dude. I read the commercials, the Mike
Speaker 2: vic Experience commercial on the roller coaster, you know, so
Speaker 2: the rise of Mike Vick and then you know when
Speaker 2: he went to prison and he's back at So I've
Speaker 2: just kind of seen Mike Vick, the roller coaster of
Speaker 2: Mike Vick. And I wonder now, because I don't know
Speaker 2: him and he's coaching now, like, what did you take
Speaker 2: away from Mike Vic as an adult and as a
Speaker 2: coach and as a leader of men.
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I will say about Mike. I've known
Speaker 1: Mike a long time and I have so much respect
Speaker 1: for him because he realized what got him in trouble
Speaker 1: back in the day and the way that he was
Speaker 1: living his life back in the day, that was the
Speaker 1: wrong way to live his life. And here's the guy
Speaker 1: who grew up in a certain way, doing certain things
Speaker 1: that seem normal for the community that he came from,
Speaker 1: but they weren't and they weren't right. So he paid
Speaker 1: his debt, he went to prison, came out of prison,
Speaker 1: got back on the football field, but also had a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, he owed a lot of money
Speaker 1: to a lot of people, but he didn't found bankruptc
Speaker 1: and ripped everybody off. He paid people back. So I
Speaker 1: look at Mike and I think Mike had a lot
Speaker 1: of honor. I think as a coach, I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's any other player I would listen, I would
Speaker 1: be amazed look at Mike and I look at Dion.
Speaker 1: I mean, the'se got some of the goats of what
Speaker 1: they did. And they both are the guys who were
Speaker 1: signature like they's so incredible at the time. They're one
Speaker 1: of the few football players at the top with their
Speaker 1: own shoes which are on a parel line through Nike,
Speaker 1: Like we didn't get that as football players. That's how
Speaker 1: exceptional these two were. And I love Mike as a
Speaker 1: coach because I think he's had some life experiences that
Speaker 1: other kids, these kids need to hear. The kids need
Speaker 1: to experience someone who's been on top, who's been on
Speaker 1: the bottom, who's making their way back. And I think
Speaker 1: as a coach, it is so much, probably more than
Speaker 1: he thought it was going to be. It's a lot
Speaker 1: to bite off. It's a lot of work, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of time away from your family. They're the reason
Speaker 1: I got into TV, because I wouldn't want to be
Speaker 1: a coach. So I think that Mike is a great
Speaker 1: example of resilience. I think he's a great example paying
Speaker 1: your debt to society and getting back on your feet.
Speaker 1: And I hopefully he can turn Norfolk State back around
Speaker 1: because last year was a rough year. But I think
Speaker 1: he's also learning along with these kids as the coach,
Speaker 1: and I think they're learning from him as men.
Speaker 2: Do you think you could have played another year?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely? Why? Yeah? Why didn't I say I walked
Speaker 1: off to field, Bobby, I didn't lent Okay, why and
Speaker 1: we won a super Bowl? Man? I had fifteen years.
Speaker 1: I did everything I wanted to do.
Speaker 2: There was nothing left to do.
Speaker 1: What was I'd won every awards, I'd done all the
Speaker 1: individual stuff, and after so many years of that, you
Speaker 1: kind of go, this is not really fulfilling. The only
Speaker 1: thing I hadn't done was one of Super Bowl. So
Speaker 1: once that happened, it's like, why am I sticking around
Speaker 1: for the money to blow my knee? Out and the
Speaker 1: next thing, I got something that's going to mess me
Speaker 1: up for the rest of my life for a few bucks,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of felt confident enough that I
Speaker 1: could make something happen outside of the game of football.
Speaker 1: And thankfully I've been able to do that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I could have played another year. Physically, I felt great.
Speaker 1: There are days I wake up now and I feel
Speaker 1: like I can give him another year.
Speaker 2: Did you have good financial life?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And not because not because it was because I
Speaker 1: had a chance encounter with the guy who ended up
Speaker 1: being like one of my He is one of my
Speaker 1: best friends and my brother who has looked out for
Speaker 1: me over the years, and it was like a ten
Speaker 1: year age No, it'st well, hold on, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: twelve year age difference. We met on a golf trip
Speaker 1: when neither of us played golf. We ended up being
Speaker 1: like sweet mates and we just really hit it off.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety four and he got into an accident
Speaker 1: in the city and call and his wife called me,
Speaker 1: who was nine months pregnant at the time in her
Speaker 1: mid forties, which is back then the very risky pregnancy.
Speaker 1: And I went to the hospital and saw him and
Speaker 1: made sure that she had nothing to worry about and
Speaker 1: took care of him, made sure I got all the
Speaker 1: doctors I made that happen. And his promise to me
Speaker 1: was you took care of my wife and my own
Speaker 1: born son, who is now mid twenties and works a
Speaker 1: big head fun. I can't teach you. I want to
Speaker 1: do something for you. So I can't teach you football,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, because from the accident when you
Speaker 1: gotta hit roy roller blader, you can't take ahead, so
Speaker 1: it was pretty bad how you look. So I want
Speaker 1: to teach you about money. I don't want to invest
Speaker 1: your money. I don't want to control your money. I
Speaker 1: don't want any say over your money. I just want
Speaker 1: you to bring me every deal that anyone brings to
Speaker 1: you and all the things that you've done before you've
Speaker 1: met me, and I want to make sure we go
Speaker 1: through it. I wanted to teach you how to look
Speaker 1: at money. I want to teach you how to value money.
Speaker 1: I will teach you how to understand it, what question
Speaker 1: to ask when people want it, like everything, And that
Speaker 1: was the life lesson of the best financial literacy that
Speaker 1: anybody can have as someone who's in that business. In
Speaker 1: the finance world, who takes you under their wing for nothing,
Speaker 1: never charge me one penny, and has been that guy
Speaker 1: for me for over thirty years. So I got very lucky,
Speaker 1: very fortunate in relationships.
Speaker 4: The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the
Speaker 4: Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you a question that I've asked a
Speaker 2: few people recently. I don't have any kids yet. My
Speaker 2: wife's about to have our first kid, so thank you
Speaker 2: very much. Vegas. Could be like, give me some advice.
Speaker 1: Well, when the baby's born, you come home, they don't
Speaker 1: give you a manual, but don't panic. I think that
Speaker 1: first of all, you'll know what you're doing without even
Speaker 1: knowing what you're doing, and you'll figure it out. And
Speaker 1: kids aren't as delicate as you think they are. They
Speaker 1: were off, I mean, we were all kids and ran
Speaker 1: and fell and hit our head on coffee tables and
Speaker 1: everything else, and look at us, we're functioning somewhat. So
Speaker 1: I would say, you're gonna love your kid more than
Speaker 1: you ever thought you can love anything, including yourself, because
Speaker 1: I tell my kids all the time, because I'm that
Speaker 1: annoying dad who's sending them, you know, stuff, fuf Instagram
Speaker 1: watch out for this when you're in an uber do
Speaker 1: this and they're like, oh dad, you're going to take
Speaker 1: self defense because oh Dad, I'm like, you don't understand
Speaker 1: when you're not with me, my heart lives outside of
Speaker 1: my body. You're my heart now, So wherever you go
Speaker 1: and whatever you do is me. And that's the thing
Speaker 1: about having kids. It makes you realize that your life
Speaker 1: is a lot bigger than whatever you do for a living.
Speaker 1: And you know, whatever car you drive and how many
Speaker 1: people you know doesn't matter. Kids are the krem to
Speaker 1: krem of what life is about. If you have them,
Speaker 1: and you'll be fine, don't be nervous, and you'll you'll
Speaker 1: crush it and whatever they most, for the most part,
Speaker 1: whatever they learn in life, I think it's Fathers were
Speaker 1: always told that, you know what I mean, you got
Speaker 1: a baby, what are we supposed to really do? And
Speaker 1: I'd read I read a book of years ago that
Speaker 1: said the first three years of your kid's life are
Speaker 1: the most important of the father because we always get
Speaker 1: this idea that oh, I'm not breast freeding, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing this, I'm not doing that, but being there, your
Speaker 1: rhythm of your heart, the smell like everything and your
Speaker 1: kids could get as at tapped to you as they
Speaker 1: can to anybody. And I'm telling you, man, it's going
Speaker 1: to be magical. I can't wait. Do you talk to
Speaker 1: you in a few months or a year and you're like, Michael,
Speaker 1: this is the most amazing thing ever. And I'm having
Speaker 1: a second one.
Speaker 2: I got three final questions for you. I love when
Speaker 2: people do like lines of clothes because there's a lot
Speaker 2: of like themselves in it. And I know that you
Speaker 2: have at Belk stores. You have is it suits? Like
Speaker 2: what do you have? And how much of it is
Speaker 2: like your style?
Speaker 1: It's all of it's my style everything. So we have suits,
Speaker 1: we have belts, we have all the men accessories. So
Speaker 1: everything that you need to get suited and booted is
Speaker 1: what we got and it's all my style. I don't
Speaker 1: wear everything. Every time you see me in a suit,
Speaker 1: it's my suit. See me in his shirt, it's my shirt.
Speaker 1: I don't go out and buy something else and wear
Speaker 1: and try to say, oh yeah, this is mine everything,
Speaker 1: because I believe if I'm gonna put my name on,
Speaker 1: it's got to be me. And but I am kind
Speaker 1: of a I'm not a bougie guy. If that's a
Speaker 1: word like, I'm not this fancy, hoity toity guy because
Speaker 1: my suits are affordable, but they're nice and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of thought that goes into them, and I would
Speaker 1: touch every fabric. Oh, I like this pocket, I like
Speaker 1: that lapel, like obsessing over it because I didn't want someone.
Speaker 1: If something the success and you're getting credit for it
Speaker 1: and you were really really invested, you can feel good
Speaker 1: about it. If it were success and I had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with it and they're giving a lot of
Speaker 1: credit to me, I would feel bad just like it
Speaker 1: fit the failure and I didn't put anything into it.
Speaker 1: Then I'm mad at myself because maybe I could have
Speaker 1: made it success by investing. But if it's the failure
Speaker 1: and I put everything intwo of it, I could live
Speaker 1: with that. At least I try. So everything is me everything,
Speaker 1: So I love the business. It's organic to me and
Speaker 1: organic to my life. And being a football player, we
Speaker 1: had to dress up. I love getting on the road
Speaker 1: trips because you would see some of the most interesting
Speaker 1: outfits you'd ever see. A chameleon suit that changed colors
Speaker 1: with every freaking way you walk, to suits that looked
Speaker 1: like skittles bags with yellow, green and purple and everything else.
Speaker 1: So yeah, interesting life.
Speaker 2: Okay, two questions left. This one's probably gonna be tough,
Speaker 2: but I got if you could go one through three, like,
Speaker 2: who have you been able to interview that you were
Speaker 2: starstruck by when you sat down with them?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts, how about that go first time? Fantastic.
Speaker 1: I interviewed her at the Beverly Wilster Hotel the anniversary
Speaker 1: of Pretty Woman, and I interviewed her in the suite
Speaker 1: where they shot the movie. And when we finished the interview,
Speaker 1: she asked me if I want to have a glass
Speaker 1: of rose? So I said absolutely, because who turns down
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts in a glass of rose? And we ended
Speaker 1: up finishing off a bottle of rose and it was
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. And her birthday is the same as
Speaker 1: my twins, so you know, every year I sent her
Speaker 1: a case of rose. I don't know if she drinks
Speaker 1: it or not, but you know, I send it to her.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Julia Roberts was one.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: It's so weird because I've interviewed people multiple times now,
Speaker 1: so I'm not really as nervous. Oh, I had Nicole
Speaker 1: Kidman yesterday and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 2: Nicole Kidman is so nice. She lives here, like yeah,
Speaker 2: and I know she's local and I know her, and
Speaker 2: I knew her and Keith when they were together, and
Speaker 2: I knew them both really well. She's so nice, Like
Speaker 2: she shouldn't be that nice, you know what.
Speaker 1: She's so nice. And Jamie Lee and her, of course
Speaker 1: complimented each other, and I love the way in which
Speaker 1: they met and they're working on this project together, and
Speaker 1: so I Jamie Lee said how nice she was, and
Speaker 1: you could just see it. She's a gentle soul man.
Speaker 1: So she kind of intimidated me because I love her work,
Speaker 1: like I love everything she does. I think she just
Speaker 1: is fantastic. And the last one who would be number three?
Speaker 2: You stop? What about it? We're gonna stop it, Like
Speaker 2: what about an athletic? When I interviewed Derek Jeter, thought
Speaker 2: that was pretty cool? Or it's usually anybody from when
Speaker 2: I was a kid that I looked up to, because
Speaker 2: when I meet them, I'm like, this is crazy, because
Speaker 2: I still have that inside of me, even if I
Speaker 2: know everything's like real and you know, people are people,
Speaker 2: but like when I meet somebody from when I was
Speaker 2: a kid. I still have those feelings.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what, the guy that they're really
Speaker 1: good like, Jeter's my buddy. I mean, I don't get
Speaker 1: me started on that knucklehead, but I love it. The
Speaker 1: one guy who I loved too is a good friend
Speaker 1: and everything else, but you see him and you're still like,
Speaker 1: WHOA what. I remember the first time I interviewed him
Speaker 1: with first year he got into NASCAR, and I was like,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. I mean, MJ is still MJ. And so
Speaker 1: that was like the one guy. And as a kid,
Speaker 1: I started trying to walk a little bow legged and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and wish I had grown to six
Speaker 1: six and about two fifteen so I could have played basketball,
Speaker 1: but that didn't quite work out, so I had to
Speaker 1: go to football. But MJ. MJ is like one of
Speaker 1: those athletes that I look at I'm like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is Michael Jordan. This is the guy who I still
Speaker 1: get a bunch of highlights on Instagram for my buddies.
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,
Speaker 3: and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2: Final question for you. You've done many things, and you've
Speaker 2: been successful at many things like what's the key? What's
Speaker 2: the key to people doing things and making it.
Speaker 1: Really enjoyed and having through the athm for it. Just
Speaker 1: don't show up at mail in mail it in. Be interested.
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing a lot of people do
Speaker 1: things because then we've all done things like oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money. But you just don't
Speaker 1: jump into something and make a lot of money. You
Speaker 1: got to build up to those things. But the only
Speaker 1: way you're going to build up to it if you
Speaker 1: have an interest and to stay in it. And I've
Speaker 1: always been interested in things and that I've done. I
Speaker 1: think I try to do things that really make me
Speaker 1: want to do them, and that's just has seemed to
Speaker 1: be the magic. On top of just being nice to people.
Speaker 1: I think that is like the greatest thing for me
Speaker 1: is just people being nice to people, understanding people, having
Speaker 1: a feeling for people, like I said earlier, making people
Speaker 1: feel seen, because if you treat people in that way,
Speaker 1: people were going to be around you. We never have
Speaker 1: you ever seen somebody walks in a room and you're
Speaker 1: like oh, man, or somebody walks in the room and
Speaker 1: you're like hey, And I think that's just from the
Speaker 1: vibe and energy that you give off. So for me,
Speaker 1: I've just tried to give off the vibe of you know,
Speaker 1: I'm easy. I don't want anything from anybody. I don't
Speaker 1: need anything from anybody. I just want to truly be
Speaker 1: friends with people. I think there's so much more fun
Speaker 1: in that than always having an angle. So yeah, show up,
Speaker 1: be authentic, be interested, and do the best you can
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 2: Life ain't that complicated. I'm gonna check out. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: check out the suits. If those are the ones you're
Speaker 2: wearing on TV. I'm gonna check out the suits.
Speaker 1: Then that's it.
Speaker 2: You let me know.
Speaker 1: I'll sing you some man. I got you now, nobody
Speaker 1: get your sizes.
Speaker 2: We'll shit you some suits, all right, all right, apper
Speaker 2: dad man, I appreciate that. Like I said, I'm not
Speaker 2: just saying it because you know we're on Netflix now
Speaker 2: or whatever. It's like you were always so kind to me,
Speaker 2: even if you didn't know you were, Like you naturally
Speaker 2: were that guy that you're talking about right now, Like
Speaker 2: that's who you were to me. And that is always
Speaker 2: the impression when people ask about someone like you, or
Speaker 2: even someone like Dion, who I know like it's like
Speaker 2: people make you feel a certain way when you're around them,
Speaker 2: and you were that guy. So I really appreciate you
Speaker 2: being so nice to me.
Speaker 1: No, you kidding me. You've a great man and ana
Speaker 1: and we've talked about it today. Dance with the Stars,
Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations again every athlete that I've talked
Speaker 1: to who's done it, and Emmitt Smith won the first
Speaker 1: year he came to New York and I took him
Speaker 1: to dinner and literally we couldn't walk in the restaurant
Speaker 1: like women getting up from each table we passed, and
Speaker 1: he'd have to dance with each one of them to
Speaker 1: get just to the table. Can we just eat hungry?
Speaker 1: But every athlete I talked to you said, man, that
Speaker 1: is the freaking hardest thing we've ever done. I said,
Speaker 1: That's why I'll never be on the show. I don't
Speaker 1: want to work that hard boy. See you go on
Speaker 1: and not what I'm dancing background or anything. That's what
Speaker 1: I loved about it, man, And it's how tough. I
Speaker 1: know it is because I've been around everybody's been on
Speaker 1: that show. And for you to go out there and
Speaker 1: crush it like that, I was fun to see man.
Speaker 1: So congrats again, Champion.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I'll end on this since you brought
Speaker 2: up Emma. This is my favorite Emma Smith story. I
Speaker 2: didn't know Emmett at the time. It's the finale and
Speaker 2: you know, and you've judged Dancing with the Stars, right,
Speaker 2: You've like you've been up there and you soudge. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So on the finale, everybody's super tight because you're just
Speaker 2: trying to do your best. There's everybody's trying to win.
Speaker 2: You're doing multiple dances. I'm in the back and I've
Speaker 2: got one more dance to do. I did not know
Speaker 2: what I was doing the whole season, like I was
Speaker 2: just every week. I was just piecing it together. And
Speaker 2: I run into Emmett in the back. There was like
Speaker 2: the craft service is the catering thing, and he sees me,
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit outside my mind, and he also
Speaker 2: knows what it's like to be in that spot because
Speaker 2: he won the show, and he said he came up
Speaker 2: to me and he said, how you feel one? And
Speaker 2: I was a little too just wired for the show
Speaker 2: to go, holy crap, this is EMMITTT.
Speaker 1: Smith.
Speaker 2: And so I was just talking to Emmett another a
Speaker 2: champion of Dancing on the Stars. I said, I'm doing
Speaker 2: pretty good and he said, he said, look look at
Speaker 2: me in the eyes, and so I like focused on
Speaker 2: for a second. He put his hand on my shoulder
Speaker 2: and he said, look, you have worked every bit as hard,
Speaker 2: if not more than any single person to be here.
Speaker 2: You have one more dance to do. That dance is
Speaker 2: already done. You haven't done it yet, but it's already
Speaker 2: done because of all the work that you've put in.
Speaker 2: Just go out there and exist. You're gonna win this show.
Speaker 2: And then I went out and I'll never forget that.
