WEBVTT - A Conversation with Former Jets QB Mark Sanchez (6/3) 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.040 We were presented by win Bet. Betting is a team sport. 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.600 Bet together at win bet is it is always a 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:15.440 special occasion when we can welcome Mark Sanchez back to 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.840 the facility first time since you're playing day, first time back. 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.480 That's right. Yeah, I realized that on the ride over 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.880 with Nick Mangold. I was like, I haven't been back 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:30.440 here in a long time. So New York, you come back. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.120 You've been here for a few days, You've been participating 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.160 and some sporting events and what have you been taken in? 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.240 And because you just mentioned Mangold, correct, it was great 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.959 to reconnect with a bunch of friends. Try and get 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.839 out as much as I can. But you know, go 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.199 see a Broadway show. I got to see the Rangers 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:52.040 playoff game. I got to see the Yankees last night. Um, 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.880 so it's been uh, it's been a blast. But seeing 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.360 I mean some of the people that are still here 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.040 from oh nine or fort seen however long it was, 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.520 you know, the rich Biddell's, Megan gilmars As right down 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.319 in the training room, Bobby in the training room, Bobby 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.200 Mustrodi security Like that was really cool, you know, because 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:16.120 those wonderful memories come flooding back. Um, the nostalgia this 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.840 place for me, Um, it means the world to me. 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.960 This is where you know, I was first on my 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.320 own really because you know, I went to college almost 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.640 down the street from my house, and coming to New 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.080 York was me part of me growing up, part of 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.760 me learning how to be a quarterback, part of me, 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.200 UM embracing this franchise because it embraced me. So it's UM, 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.520 it's all kind of coming full circle. And I really 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.319 appreciate seeing everybody the draft back in oh nine Radio 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.840 City Music. So I remember you actually coming up here 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.360 to the second floor at one Jets Drive, and one 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.520 of the first things I heard on your mouth was 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.720 you were asking people their names and he said, I 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.240 have to remember your name. I mean that that was 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.680 something that was on your mind from the get I 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.000 think a lot of that was from Coach Carroll, who 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.320 learned a lot of that from Bill Walsh. And Um, 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.480 he's got a book. The Score takes care of itself, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.400 but it talks about the chef in the building, the 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:12.040 person signing or selling tickets, the sweet salesperson. Everybody has 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.080 their specific role in an organization, and that's kind of 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.880 the way I was brought up at USC so, um, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.359 I gotta thank coach Girl for that. And um my 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.720 high school coach Bob Johnson always reminded me, Um, you know, 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.880 it doesn't matter who it is that you interact with. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.320 You don't know what that person is, what you'll ever 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.000 do for them, what they'll do for you, but you 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.839 gotta respect him. You gotta treat them the right way. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.120 And I hope I did that, um, you know, as 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.120 as best I could. I felt like I did. But um, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.600 you know, you never know when when somebody's gonna help 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.080 you out, when somebody's gonna um do something for you, 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:44.880 so you always want to be available to them. And 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.200 that was a big deal, you know, the respect thing 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.800 and shaking hands, and that was you know, since I 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.280 was a little guy. And now I'm trying to teach 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.280 my little man that who's five years old, Daniel. So um, so, 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.480 like I said, it's coming full circle. And well we're 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.280 going to get to the family here in a little bit. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.639 But you mentioned Pete. It's interesting you go back to 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:08.600 before you declared for the draft. Pete wasn't a favor 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:14.000 that relationship at all. Well, so that's it's funny because that, um, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.600 that was like the headline that, oh, Carol and Sanchez, 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.720 there's bad blood there, you know, and what people don't know. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.960 And I've said this, you know now that I've been 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.680 retired and stuff. I think I said it when I 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:30.640 was playing. But the night before that press conference, Pete 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.280 Carroll was in my apartment un till two am, and 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.600 we're eating cheeseburgers. We're eating in and out cheeseburger We'll 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.680 shut up. Um, We're eating in and out cheeseburgers, talking 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.360 and he's recruiting me to stay in a way, in 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.200 Pete's way of you know, and giving me the whole layout, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.119 saying a lot of what he was going to say 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.240 the next day. So it wasn't a shock when I 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.880 heard what he was talking about. Because the numbers truly 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:03.480 weren't great for younger quarterbacks to declare early and go 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.280 to the NFL. The success rate was really really low. 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.200 Now define success, well, that's relative, okay, fine, but to 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.800 have what we had, I wouldn't change my decision for 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.560 the world because of what I experienced here and those 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:21.719 first two seasons were incredible. So it didn't bother me 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.359 when Pete said it. But since nobody else had heard it, 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.320 I had already heard it, and I knew he didn't 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.960 agree with me, but he was cool with it. Like, 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.680 but he said, you know, I'm gonna say that this 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.080 isn't you know, I don't think this is the best move. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.039 And I said, Coach, I respect that you. You have 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.640 a right to your opinion and that's your way of thinking. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.240 I just feel like this is the right time for 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.920 me to make this move. Cool, all good. I give 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.200 him a big hug. At the end of the night. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.040 Everything's fine. I go to the press conference. He says 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.919 what he's gonna say, and then it just explodes. And 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.920 Pete called me like an hour later, and he goes, holy. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.880 He's like, dude, I didn't of course, I want you 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.559 to do well. Of course I'm going to be rooting 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.040 for you, like I didn't mean for it to come 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.520 off like I don't. I disagree, and I hope he fails. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.000 He's like, that's not that's not And I said, coach, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.160 you didn't thank you for making the phone call completely 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.440 unnecessary because I know where you're coming from. It's all good. 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.280 And he's still never a bump in the road, like 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.160 zero say not yeah, and so it's um, you know, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.560 I got a lot of press and all that, but 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.520 what was that private workout like with the Jets? Who 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.159 was there from this organization because a lot of people 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.680 had PEG The Jets maybe taken a Josh Freeman after 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.360 Brett Farve of course signed with the Vikings. Um, let's 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.480 see Kavanaugh was there? Who was here last year? Shoddy, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:44.560 Mike t Mike Tannerbom, Mr Johnson? What am I forgetting? 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.719 I feel like there were one or two more people, 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:53.320 obviously Rex, Um, and this was that might be it. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.400 But we went to dinner after and this was the 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.080 kicker and Rex always loved this story. But and you're 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.880 obviously remember Rex's personality. Um, but we're walking out of 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:07.320 dinner with that whole group, and there's a motorcycle parked 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.400 right in front of the restaurant with a helmet on it, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.719 hanging on it. And I didn't write a motorcycle, don't 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.040 know how to write a motorcycle, Like nothing had nothing 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.159 to do with me. But I walked over to it 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.920 because I felt so comfortable with them. I was like, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.320 I really hope I go to this team. I don't 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.560 think it's gonna happen because they're picking so late. But 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.560 never in a million years or was I going to 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:27.960 know that they were going to trade up like that. 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:29.560 And I don't know if they knew it at the time. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.279 So I went to go. I said goodbye everybody, thank you, 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.279 you know whatever, we'll talk soon. I hope it works out. 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.719 And I grabbed the helmet off the motorcycle and pretended 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.560 to get on the motorcycle. Rex goes, hell, yeah, that's 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.760 our guy, you know, like joking around because he knew 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.599 I was joking, and Mr the look on Mr Johnson's face, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.120 he was just like, oh God, please tell me this 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.880 isn't real. I was like, I'm just kidding, Mr Johnson. Sorry, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.000 you know, I remember. I remember my headlined uh when 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:03.680 they actually moved up with Mangini because obviously with the 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:07.559 Browns to get the number five number overall and sending 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.320 a couple of draft picks and three veteran players said 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.640 from Hollywood to Broadway here coming from Mark Sanchez, Yeah, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.559 I'm going to see a show, actually, are you? Yeah? 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.840 What do you see? American Buffalo? Laurence Fishburne? How many 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.800 plays did you see while you were here as a player? 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.880 A lot, a lot I couldn't count. I mean I 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.320 saw in the Heights so many times, Wicked Fences. Um, 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:41.000 she's um Memphis I presented for at the Tony's remember 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.240 when Memphis won Best Musical. But I loved it. I 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.960 just once I met some of the performers and learned 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.400 about their schedule. I mean eight shows a week. These 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.480 people are taking care of their bodies, learning their positions, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.520 They got their whole thing choreographed, and their voices got 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.040 to be on point. Like I just respected them so much, 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.120 and it was so similar to what we do here 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.720 as players, you know, And um, I just immediately fell 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.400 in love. My parents took me to like Lyon King 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.200 when I was a little kid, Oliver Twist when I 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.480 was a little kid, and I always had this you know, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.760 respect and affinity for the arts and and theater. So 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.720 it's um, I mean, there's no better place in the world. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.120 You come play for the Jets and you get to 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.160 go to these shows and people are inviting you to 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.200 premieres and stuff like that was so cool. So I 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.040 tried to take advantage of it when I could. And 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.920 I you know, I don't know if the guys will 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.880 say it but their wives appreciated it because I'd always 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.480 bring the guys and say, hey, yeah, bring your wife, 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.280 bring your wife, And they couldn't drag those guys to 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.720 plays or shows or anything. So you were making so 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.920 we can get at least one boy's night an agenda. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.680 I had an agenda, but they didn't need to know 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.560 all the details. Hey, is it crazy to think that 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:59.320 you had four seasons here? Yeah, it's um, it seemed 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:03.400 long and short at the same time. I don't know. Yeah, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.680 it was weird because once once I leave here, you know, 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.480 I just started bounced around and that was a different 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.680 experience of the NFL. And I kind of got a 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:16.240 lot of things backwards early because we had so much success, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.480 and I'm coming straight out of college where you had success, 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.040 and I'm like, the NFL stuffs not so bad, Like 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.400 it's not so hard. Stay with one team, play here forever, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.440 go to the playoffs every year. You know, we'll win 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.000 a couple of Super Bowls along the way. You know, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.640 that's how you think. Um, And then you get to 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:37.280 the reality of being cut, being traded, like different things 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.720 happening to you, and you learn a lot more about 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.240 the business side of the NFL and listen, you have 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.520 to go through everything you go through up until this 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.040 point to get to this point. So I wouldn't change 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.560 any of that stuff. I met a lot of great 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.880 people along the way, but obviously the Jets. You know, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.160 it's like your first love. You know, you just have 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.240 um a special place in your heart for for this place, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.120 the people here, the organization, the city. All of it 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:05.360 was retirement easy for you. At thirty two, you're young, dude. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.880 At thirty two, you're still a young guy. At thirty five, 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.480 it's it's weird and um and by the way, we're 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.520 gonna get to your career because you're doing a lot 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:18.560 of great things, broadcasting concern You're hosting the exchange here 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.319 with your buddy Thicky just you know, Karen his weight 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.200 like I used to as a player. Unbelievable. That's a 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:33.280 complete life. No. Um. I feel like I was just lucky, blessed, fortunate, 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.200 all those things combined to have made the relationships I made, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.600 learned what I did along the way, and be able 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.040 to hopefully present myself well and talk about the game. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.280 Learn enough about the game, all the different systems I've 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.440 been in. So when I watched something and analyze it. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.880 I have a pretty good idea and then you know, 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.600 my people skills kick in and I can relate that 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.679 information to the lay person who doesn't who isn't like 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.360 a hardcore football person who doesn't know what for two 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.800 man is, but I can explain it quickly, and I 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.559 felt like that's where I wanted to move on to. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.520 I had to learn a lot about being on camera, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.320 the red light on the camera, like all that kind 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.480 of stuff where in an I FB what what is? 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.640 What is all that you know? And it took a 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.240 little time, but I felt like I had some of 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.480 the best experience leading into that USC huge market New 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.199 York Jets, huge market. I couldn't get out of a 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.240 big market. I mean, think about it other really than 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:32.080 like Denver maybe for the quick offseason. I was there, Dallas, Chicago, DC, 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.760 like Philly, like everything. Every market was massive. So you 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.280 do more interviews, there's more pressed, there's more you know, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.760 polishing that you get along the way, and it helped. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.160 And I was just bless fortunate, lucky to have an opportunity, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.360 and ESPN gave me that opportunity. So I'm, you know, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.560 forever grateful, just like the Jets gave me my first 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.120 shot in pro football. ESPN gave me my first shot 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.280 um with television, and I really enjoyed it. Learned a ton. 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.360 You're rocking all with Fox right now, and now I'm 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.120 with Fox calling NFL games and I'm loving that. I'm 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.120 glad I'm back in the NFL. I enjoyed the college 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.520 stuff with ESPN, ABC. It was a great start, like 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.480 the best way to cut your teeth, I feel like 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:16.280 because it was a studio job. It was um uh 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.439 tree top surface level stuff about college football. And if 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.600 you know, if you've got to analyze college football when 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.160 you haven't been in college football for ten years, that 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.199 was a lot. I felt like I was drinking college 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.160 football knowledge through a fire hose, like it was trying 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.559 to get ready for that season, was you know, really stressful. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.319 But now that I'm back in the league, like affiliated 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.719 with the NFL, It's like this is I mean a 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.960 lot of this stuff I've seen forever I've I've been 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.760 on so and so you know, uh team, I've I've 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.080 heard him in team meetings. I can talk about that 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.880 on air. And bottom line, you know this e a 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:56.000 like story, sell the good story, sell and so that's 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.240 what you get a chance to do, and telling funds, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.760 funny stories, being self deprecated and that kind of stuff. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.880 I think it's all. It all makes hopefully some good TV. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.320 But you know, asked Nick Mangold, I got a better 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.880 face for radio.

But no, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.679 pair and I got engaged a little over a week, 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.400 could probably ten days now. Um, but um we've been 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.360 we've been dating for a while and she's great. UM 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.200 My family loves her. I obviously love her. I'm I'm 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:17.200 thrilled about this. She's, um, no surprise, is an actress. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.080 She's a real cat. Um I guess not she but 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.400 she you know what she has and it's um interesting 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.720 because she has her friends in the industry and stuff, 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.800 and there's a few, but she has this like friend 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.400 group outside that she went to college with that are 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:39.360 completely unaffiliated with Hollywood movies, TV, nothing, And I felt 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.400 like that's just kept her so grounded and she's you know, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.240 she's a rock star, dude, She's gonna be awesome. Um, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.000 whatever her next opportunity is after in the dark. Obviously 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.200 I'm a little biased, but I think she does a 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.520 great job and she's so good with my boy with 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.320 DJ UM, you know, that was huge and you know, 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.080 one of the blessings that came out of cove. It 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.880 is like we're kind of living together, you know, so 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.840 you get a real good glimpse of like what would 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.560 this really look like with of at the time, a 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.960 three year old boy in the house, Like how is 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.600 she maternally? You know, how is she with stuff around 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.080 the house? And like can we work together? Can we 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:21.160 co exist? Couldn't gone better? So it was, you know, 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.720 after that, it was a no brainer. I I think 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.600 I just held off for a couple of years just 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.560 to be safe. But what's her last name? Again? Yeah, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.520 because people are going to be looking her up. Who 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.560 aren't watching her? They should. She's good, It's really good. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.960 She was on Shameless, she's been in the dark, um, 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.960 a bunch of different movies and stuff. But she's Um, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:45.480 she's just done. Man, she's great. You totally out did 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.760 yourself as far as the plane is concerned. Can you 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.280 just take us, take us behind the scenes what you 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.960 actually did there? So we were we were in this 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.920 Uh well, listen, you have to understand the backstory because 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.320 I had I had hit the brake so hard on 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.680 this kind of stuff because we had talked about, you know, 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.880 getting married and you know, this this whole life together 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.560 that we're gonna build and all that. And so leading 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.520 up to this, I had all of her girlfriends in 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.320 on it, her parents and on it. The creator and 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.840 showrunner of her show in the Darkness, Calcrane Kingsbury, and 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.440 so we had been like completely lying to her for 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.560 like two months setting this whole thing up, the dinner, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:32.920 the surprise, the whole deal. And and so we get 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.239 to the week we're supposed to go to down to Anguilla, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:41.040 Capture Luca, the Belmont Capture Lucas the resort, and the 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.960 week we're going I went out of my way to 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.280 tell her, hey, baby, we're going on this vacation. She 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.480 had just got filmed, done filming. We hadn't seen each 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.400 other in like four months, and she was up in Toronto. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.640 I was home in California, and so we just didn't 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.760 have a ton of connection other than FaceTime and calls 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.600 and all that because she's on set, she's working, and 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.280 it's like a tight deal. I said, listen, we're going 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.000 on this vacation. It's the first time we're gonna see 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.040 each other. I don't want to talk any nonsense about 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.399 this marriage stuff. So just table it and it was 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.320 let's giveaway no, and she was just like, oh, like 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.239 pretty bumped like it. I could tell it like her 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.880 a little bit. And I'm holding the phone away from 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.639 my face, like trying not to laugh because I know 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.960 what's going on, you know, to the point where I'm 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.840 telling her girlfriends like if you all blow this, no 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.240 invite to the wedding. I'm not kidding. And they are 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.960 like her friends friends, you know. So it went off 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.119 without a hitch. I was shocked. But when we walked 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.200 my whole ruse to get her there was to get 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.480 her to the actual place where we were gonna where 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.560 I was going to propose is um. I said, hey, 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.640 the lady at the front desk said, there's a great 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.920 place to take pictures out on this um out kind 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.400 of in this like foyer area. Uh. And we had 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.560 everything set up, the dinner, the whole deal, and so 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.040 it's there's like rose petals everywhere and like this romantic scene. 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.719 And so we go in and I tell her like, hey, 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.200 let's some why why don't you do your hair a 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.959 little bit so we can go take some pictures and 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.720 like why don't you wear this? And she's kind of 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.600 looked at me like why are you shaving. We're on vacation. 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.040 I was like, I don't know, let's just take some pictures, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.720 you know, like let's whatever. And we opened the door 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:18.200 to this place and it's all decorated obviously for some 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:22.160 sort of either like um, you know, renewal of vows, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:27.840 vows um or or like yeah, some kind of like anniversary, romantic, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.720 celebrated celebration, anniversary something. And so when I opened it, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.719 I see the lady Ariel from the hotel, and I 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.920 was like, oh my gosh, are we interrupting someone's event? 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.760 And she goes, well, they'll be here in a couple 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.479 of minutes, but you guys can take some pictures if 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.399 you want. It's like okay, and we're walking through this 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:48.960 like beautifully romantic setting. It's just kind of like sinking 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.639 lower and lower and lower, like damn, why would he 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.280 bring me here if this isn't for me? And so 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.800 we started taking pictures and she was taking selfies like that, 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.240 and I, um, I'm kind of behind her, and so 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.240 as she's holding the phone like that, I put the 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.560 ring like on her shoulder, and so she goes to 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.880 take the picture. And you know how girls are, they 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.600 want to take like twenty pictures, so she's taking a 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.520 bunch and then she finally realizes it and kind of 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.080 goes like that, like there's a bug on her or something, 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.320 you know. And then she's like, what are you doing? 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.639 You know? And I get down on the knee and 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.080 do the whole thing, and the whole time she just says, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.240 what are you doing? What are you doing? It's like, well, 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.040 if you let me talk, I'll tell you what I'm doing. Um, 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.040 And and then the final kicker was just her parents 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.600 being there, and she had no idea it was supposed 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.399 to be like a couple's vacation. And I said, you know, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.199 there's a special moment for us, but for you especially, 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.000 and I know you really want your parents here. So 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.440 she goes, yeah, I know, and she kind of gave 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:41.560 me a look and I was like, well, we can 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.600 call him out if you want. She was just shocked, 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.920 you know. And so her dad turned on the water works. 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:51.320 Her glasses were all fogged up. Dude, he's and he's 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.160 the best. They're both great. But yeah, I love pop 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:58.200 Ken Mom show.
