Speaker 5: really none like get me down. I try to always
Speaker 5: stay like spinally like different things like that.
Speaker 3: Or even if it's like something like bad happening, okay.
Speaker 5: Like just spin it and like get like a positive
Speaker 5: out of it and then just focus on that.
Speaker 2: I guess, Okay, when's the last time you spun something
Speaker 2: like I'm trying to think of, like you.
Speaker 5: Know, I mean, you got you gotta spend some really
Speaker 5: like every week like during the season, like football is
Speaker 5: a bunch of ups and downs and things like that,
Speaker 5: like like injuries, losing games, so you always got to
Speaker 5: like you always gotta find like good like and everything,
Speaker 5: like nothing's always one hundred.
Speaker 2: Good And is that something that sports has taught you
Speaker 2: and you've had to find that mentality just surviving it?
Speaker 5: Definitely, Yeah, just because like just like very simple like sports,
Speaker 5: like like you.
Speaker 3: Lose a game, like you can't just go in the
Speaker 3: hole and then lose.
Speaker 5: Like the rest of like the next like thirty games,
Speaker 5: like you gotta like houns back, come back.
Speaker 3: You did wrong with different things like.
Speaker 5: That, Yeah, you okay, like what you did, what you
Speaker 5: did good, what you did wrong, and just try to
Speaker 5: correct it.
Speaker 2: It's so mental, I think. I mean, obviously everyone knows
Speaker 2: that sports is not just a physical thing. But I
Speaker 2: think in the past few years i've kind of just
Speaker 2: from watching enough thirty for thirties, I've learned of like
Speaker 2: what a mental sport it is. And do you do
Speaker 2: you know, I've read a lot of books that are
Speaker 2: I'm a comedian and so I have, you know, a
Speaker 2: certain level that I perform as well. And visualization, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do stand up? Do you do visualization of you
Speaker 2: doing winning? And like do you practice meditation things like that?
Speaker 5: No, definitely, you got to you gotta like see yourself
Speaker 5: like making the plays before you make them. Yes, So,
Speaker 5: but that just all comes with like like you rerapping
Speaker 5: in practice like a bunch of times, like film work,
Speaker 5: just seeing like keys and like tendencies, different things like that.
Speaker 5: So it's all like repetition, repetition, repetition, like you see
Speaker 5: it like over and over again, and then like once
Speaker 5: you set on the field, like you you've already you've
Speaker 5: already been over You've already like went through it like
Speaker 5: a bunch of times, so you know exactly what to do.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, so you're not fucking around. You know
Speaker 2: how to work hard, you know how to study clearly.
Speaker 2: I mean that's gotta be a huge advantage because watching
Speaker 2: tape back, which is a part of doing stand up
Speaker 2: as well, you got to watch what went wrong, and
Speaker 2: it's and it's horrible to watch for me to watch
Speaker 2: myself not do the way I want to do. When
Speaker 2: you watch tape back where you've done something wrong? Is
Speaker 2: that is that hard to watch her? Are you able
Speaker 2: to separate you?
Speaker 3: It is always hard to watch. It's horrible, Right, that's
Speaker 3: always hard to watch.
Speaker 2: Are there's some guys that just won't do it, won't
Speaker 2: do it, We'll watch tape like because yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but what's Manziel? Johnny Manziel he never watched tape.
Speaker 1: He never watched it.
Speaker 2: That's what I learned from his thirty for thirty And
Speaker 2: that was his downfall was that he was naturally very talented,
Speaker 2: but he didn't do the work off the field because
Speaker 2: he was just skirting by on like, no, I'm just
Speaker 2: great out there when I am, And that works to
Speaker 2: it a certain extent, but he would never he would
Speaker 2: never review what he had done. Yeah, And that's what
Speaker 2: watching that helped me with stand up where I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm kind of doing the Manzel thing where I'm like,
Speaker 2: I got it. You gotta do the work off the
Speaker 2: field too, because.
Speaker 5: Even like when you're out there and you're doing it
Speaker 5: like in m I feel a certain way, and then
Speaker 5: once you go back and look at.
Speaker 3: It, like it looks way different.
Speaker 2: Than what exactly you look in your mind, looks so
Speaker 2: much cooler.
Speaker 5: But now looking back at it like that definitely at
Speaker 5: least it helps me because like I said, like i'd
Speaker 5: be like I'll get confused, like I feel like I
Speaker 5: did something like a certain way, and now I'll look
Speaker 5: back on the film and I'll.
Speaker 1: Be like, WHOA, Okay.
Speaker 5: But but like that that'd be like I said, like
Speaker 5: that helps me, Like yeah, but this is just part
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 2: Can I ask and this is maybe just does this
Speaker 2: this dumb question when you've really fucked up out there
Speaker 2: right and you just literally drop the ball and you
Speaker 2: go back in the locker room your team is lost?
Speaker 2: Is it just like dead quiet? Can you like hear
Speaker 2: a pin drop? And are people mad at you? Or
Speaker 2: is everyone is it?
Speaker 1: What's the vibe?
Speaker 2: Are you trying to keep your head low? I don't
Speaker 2: want to look at anyone. I know what I've done.
Speaker 2: I need to kind of punish myself. What's the vibe?
Speaker 3: No, it ain't.
Speaker 5: It ain't like you going to the locker room like you're
Speaker 5: looking around like people pointing fingers like it's never like
Speaker 5: none of that.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows.
Speaker 2: Everyone knows they hapened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's just a.
Speaker 5: Game, like bad things happen, like good things happen, like
Speaker 5: like like bad things happened in the game, but you
Speaker 5: probably could have did like thirty other things like good
Speaker 5: in the game, Like it's all it just comes.
Speaker 3: With the sport whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but now it's definitely like I mean, like if
Speaker 5: you know, like you messed up, you know you messed up,
Speaker 5: so like a you're not smiling like a boud like
Speaker 5: you know, definitely not fun.
Speaker 2: And it'll stay with you until the next game.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean did you gotta go? You gotta
Speaker 5: have it like that, you gotta shake it off. But
Speaker 5: you got to like remember like what it felt like.
Speaker 5: Everybody says like remember like what it felt like, but
Speaker 5: like or don't even know how It's like it's like
Speaker 5: some type of thing just like don't forget the feeling
Speaker 5: or something. But like remember how it feels. I don't
Speaker 5: probably don't know, but you just got to take it
Speaker 5: as motivation and you gotta use that as like another
Speaker 5: like reason, like to get better, come back and approve
Speaker 5: different things like that. Yes, so you don't you don't
Speaker 5: do the same thing again from last week the next.
Speaker 2: My god, I'm so excited about your life. You have
Speaker 2: your whole life.

Speaker 2: And you're in it. You just start like, how long
Speaker 2: you've been.
Speaker 3: There's my next year, next year gonna be my third year.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're in it. They're not like you don't
Speaker 2: feel like it's like new to you anymore.
Speaker 1: The time of your career years, he's got two years
Speaker 1: of agent's gonna like this, he's got two years to
Speaker 1: get that second contract.
Speaker 3: This is it.

Speaker 1: And I said yeah, And then he he brought he
Speaker 1: was a great agent. He said, do you know who
Speaker 1: this is? And I was and I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I saw the light in your eyes. Wake up when
Speaker 2: you realize who it was.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because it's hard to recognize football. They were
Speaker 1: wearing helmets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and but no, the most boring sport for girls
Speaker 2: to watch because you can't see how hot the guys are.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mostly, well you can see the butts, I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you used to be able to see the
Speaker 2: like their stomachs back when you used to have their
Speaker 2: stomachs exposed.
Speaker 1: They outlawed that during that Why did they outlaw that?
Speaker 2: It was such a hot look.
Speaker 1: But no, it was amazing. I mean, Rodney Thomas is
Speaker 1: one of the best new players on the Colts and
Speaker 1: it's great to meet him. He's a great guy.
Speaker 2: Always because of your your jersey.
Speaker 1: Zire Franklin jersey. He's also a great defensive player on
Speaker 1: the Colts. Yeah, and I stand by what I said,
Speaker 1: this guy. I clocked this guy last season. I know
Speaker 1: he is drowning he thinks, so seems like he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not really.
Speaker 2: Because he's not drowning in it. He's comfortably floating in it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's that guy has no worries in life.
Speaker 1: And he was popular in high school. And he was
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't like yeah, like what are you crazy? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was just like yeah, like that's that's a It was.
Speaker 1: Almost like he had a flood of memories of him
Speaker 1: being popular pop into his brain. He smiled wistfully. And
Speaker 1: how popular I know.
Speaker 2: And then you know, he'll turn thirty five and I worry.
Speaker 1: He's yale. I mean he's yeah, he'll be fine to
Speaker 1: fall back on something. Yeah, but he's got a good
Speaker 1: career ahead of him. He's uh, he's good.
Speaker 2: He's good.
Speaker 1: He's not one of those guys that you know, he's
Speaker 1: at his pivotal point in his career where if he
Speaker 1: does poorly the next two years, he might not get
Speaker 1: a second contract, and then he's on a practice squad
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he's not gonna.
Speaker 2: Keep doing that slam and stuff that you were talking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's really he's an equalizer out there. Yeah all right, Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: that was exciting. I mean, it's hard to explain what
Speaker 1: it was like, I can't. It's not like meaning Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift or something, but it was like.

Speaker 1: I mean, I this is why these people are so
Speaker 1: successful is because of that mindset they have and why
Speaker 1: they're not comedians. Also, what do you mean? Rodney was
Speaker 1: like like, I take everything. I turn it into a positive.
Speaker 1: Even if it's a negative, I spin it. And I
Speaker 1: don't let things get me down. Because if he let
Speaker 1: things get him down, he'll spiral out of control and
Speaker 1: he won't be a great football. It really will throw
Speaker 1: you outs. Are artists' they're musicians, and they're like there
Speaker 1: really seem to be appreciating the moment, and they kept
Speaker 1: saying that we're so excited to meet you guys. It's
Speaker 1: like you don't know who we are. No, and they
Speaker 1: still don't. They were still excited.
Speaker 2: That was just what they say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you have to say that I should say.
Speaker 2: But I think that they I think they thought we
Speaker 2: were a bigger deal. Yeah than we are. They don't know.
Speaker 1: This is I had a big deal thing at that.
Speaker 2: I could have been in the Barbie movie to them,
Speaker 2: like I could have played you know they don't.
Speaker 1: We could have told them you are a big deal.
Speaker 1: That's the thing some certain context, but in this context,
Speaker 1: this is confusing.
Speaker 2: And that's what This is the context I thrive in
Speaker 2: in which I don't walk around ever thinking I'm a
Speaker 2: big deal. It's rare that I would ever find myself
Speaker 2: in the circumstance unless I'm like the star of the
Speaker 2: night or hosting an event. Then I'm like, Oka, yeah,
Speaker 2: everyone should know who I am. But this is where
Speaker 2: this is. It feels like I'm in Saint Louis, you know,
Speaker 2: like no one gives a fuck who I am. And
Speaker 2: then that's the way it should be. I feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: You're selling out theaters nationwide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't matter here. But that's Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: so many people in the world. You can be huge.
Speaker 2: You can be the biggest star to some people and
Speaker 2: a total nobody to the person right next to them.
Speaker 1: And that's lovely. Yes, I like that. I was happy
Speaker 1: that when the Rodney Thomas's agent was taking pictures, I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna like put that on Instagram and tag.
Speaker 2: You're going to have to do a Google image reverse
Speaker 2: search to find out who the fuck I am.
Speaker 1: But so I was so happy and comforted by the
Speaker 1: fact that once he tags you on Instagram, who'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: a million followers.
Speaker 2: Then it'll then it'll she's legit. Yeah, yea, even though
Speaker 2: I've been at a million for like over.
Speaker 1: A year and a half, you can't get to one
Speaker 1: point one?
Speaker 2: How can I not get that one point one? I'm
Speaker 2: just like, I don't When that one point one shows up,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be so excited. It'll disappear immediately because it's
Speaker 2: hinging on. Yea, like four people that are just because
Speaker 2: you get unfollowed, someone power really care. But it is
Speaker 2: of note to me that I've been at a million
Speaker 2: and stuck at that for all just have exponential growth.
Speaker 1: What's going I'm with that? Why? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: How often are people unfollowing everybody? A lot? I look
Speaker 1: at I mean I'm at like thirty eight thousand or something,
Speaker 1: and like every day, like I get like eighteen followers
Speaker 1: and sixteen unfollows.
Speaker 2: I don't know who's unfollowing. It could be Boughts being caught.
Speaker 1: And from like, there's so many people unfollowing it such
Speaker 1: a rap.
Speaker 2: Unfollowed people before because they're triggering, or because I'm just
Speaker 2: tired of their bullshit, or because I don't even know
Speaker 2: why I followed them in the first place.
Speaker 1: I was like a mistake.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's really rare that I do that. It's
Speaker 2: just just mute. It's the nicer thing to do.
Speaker 1: Especially if you know them. If you know them, I
Speaker 1: post so infrequently, but you do stories.
Speaker 2: But I do stories, But it's if you don't look
Speaker 2: at my stories regularly, they're not popping up for you
Speaker 2: a lot of times.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't know I have to.
Speaker 1: You post pretty frequently. Are stories on your grid?
Speaker 3: Too?
Speaker 2: Like I don't do that much, but maybe once every
Speaker 2: two weeks or something. Here's a guy that looks like
Speaker 2: the coach for the Chiefs walking around and I because
Speaker 2: I don't know who the coach of the chief is,
Speaker 2: the Chief's impersonator, but he's really convincing.
Speaker 1: It does look like him a lot. But if he
Speaker 1: was actually the coach the Chiefs, he'd be surrounded by
Speaker 1: a lot more people.
Speaker 2: Okay, instead of like just three guys.
Speaker 1: You would not be here at all. I guess he's
Speaker 1: got a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think he's doing right now? Andy Reid?
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, He's probably in a meeting. Okay, he's probably
Speaker 1: sitting there going over tape and like talking about what
Speaker 1: to do I mean, the Wow.
Speaker 2: I'm stressed out for them.
Speaker 1: We're going to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I just checked. You just got our tickets. I checked
Speaker 2: word section four eleven. I'm so excited because we're in
Speaker 2: the highest up, which I really like to be. I
Speaker 2: like to be high up in these arenas when I
Speaker 2: don't care.
Speaker 1: About what's happening down there the house.
Speaker 2: Really it's not. And it's exciting to be high up
Speaker 2: because you're just like it's it's kind of thrilling. I'm
Speaker 2: a little scared of heights, so it gets my adrenaline going. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and and we have agreed.
Speaker 1: Really exciting.
Speaker 2: But the really exciting thing is that I saw that
Speaker 2: the sweets and all the booths are beneath where we're sitting,
Speaker 2: and so I was like, Okay, if Taylor Swift is
Speaker 2: going to be there, if we're on the side she's on,
Speaker 2: we do not. We're not gonna be able to see her.
Speaker 2: This sucks. And then I checked because then I saw
Speaker 2: we're on the visitor side, and I'll I'm like, please
Speaker 2: God or the Chiefs, the home team, please, because who
Speaker 2: knows because we're in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Neither of the teams are super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just checked and I saw the chiefs
Speaker 2: of the home team. So we are going to have
Speaker 2: a shot of her of her suite, and I'm going
Speaker 2: to get binoculars, like you.
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna be watching the game within the game. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be a big cheer And
Speaker 1: you're like, what happened?
Speaker 2: I can't wait to have binoculars because we Ali did
Speaker 2: look it up and said that you can bring in
Speaker 2: binoculars because it was like maybe they wouldn't allow that
Speaker 2: you can bring them in for all the bird watchers
Speaker 2: there because there are a couple species of birds there.
Speaker 2: And I I but what I like to do and
Speaker 2: what I've always wanted to do at these arena, you
Speaker 2: know spectacles, is I like to pick out someone in
Speaker 2: the crowd from so far away I could never see
Speaker 2: them with my blind eye, and I like to zoom
Speaker 2: in on them with binoculars and just watch them for
Speaker 2: a really long time, and just knowing that they have
Speaker 2: no idea someone's watching them so exciting and because I
Speaker 2: feel like I secretly they want a little lottery. They
Speaker 2: don't know they're a part of because I just picked
Speaker 2: them out of nothing. So it's just like it's a
Speaker 2: cool little thing that I like to do. So I'll
Speaker 2: be doing a lot of that tomorrow, just zooming in
Speaker 2: on just one person watched Waiting Till.
Speaker 1: They Pick their nose. No better place to do that
Speaker 1: than at the super Bowl, because you're gonna be zooming
Speaker 1: on people that at least they have ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to spend on a football ticket.
Speaker 2: This is insane. So I just found out that there's
Speaker 2: not like football fans at the super Bowl. It's just
Speaker 2: people who had hookups to take.
Speaker 1: Well, it's not certainly not people that are fans of
Speaker 1: the two teams playing, right, they're probably football fans, but yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of corporate just like oh,
Speaker 1: Microsoft ten tickets goes to a lot of Vegas companies
Speaker 1: probably yes, And yeah, you're just it's like a perk.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's crazy to me. So it's it's actually
Speaker 2: going to be a lot. Like I think I've been
Speaker 2: watching the Taylor Swift eras tour. She's back on tour.
Speaker 2: She's doing the international tour and she's in Tokyo this week.
Speaker 2: And if you listen to she does these you know
Speaker 2: every show she does two secret songs where it's like
Speaker 2: acoustic and she's just playing guitar, she's just playing piano,
Speaker 2: and the songs out of Tokyo. During these moments, you
Speaker 2: it's you can just hear her voice so perfectly. No
Speaker 2: one's making a single sound, because in Japan everyone's respectful
Speaker 2: of each other. If they're taking video during the show,
Speaker 2: they put the phone right in front of their face
Speaker 2: so as not to block someone else's view. Americans are
Speaker 2: just like over someone else's line.
Speaker 1: It's like, so they put it right up under their
Speaker 1: face the concert in the other person's phone in front
Speaker 1: of you can't help it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so you listen to these videos and it's
Speaker 2: you can hear her so perfectly. It sounds like she's
Speaker 2: doing rehearsal in empty stadium. It's so I have to
Speaker 2: remember to go see my favorite artists in Tokyo from
Speaker 2: now or in Japan, because that is where people, the
Speaker 2: fans are most respectful. But that sounds like the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: It's like not gonna be that buck wild. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be like pretty well behaved and they're all like sitting
Speaker 2: next to their boss.
Speaker 1: People say that the best game of the year are
Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC championship games. That's the game before
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Okay, gotcha, that's in a home stadium.
Speaker 1: The fans could not be more excited, and everyone's going insane.
Speaker 1: And then you know, those games are usually a little
Speaker 1: bit better too, because the teams know each other a
Speaker 1: little bit more and they're playing week to week. With
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, there's all this fanfare, there's a there's
Speaker 1: two weeks between the it's just building up so much,
Speaker 1: just building up so much. And at the beginning of
Speaker 1: every Super Bowl there's always like some hiccups, like when
Speaker 1: the like when the Saints played the I believe Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: one year, the first play of the Super Bowl, the
Speaker 1: uh they hiked the ball and it went way over
Speaker 1: the quarterback's head and rolled into the end zone and
Speaker 1: it was a safety first play the game. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means. Yeah, and it's it's really crazy,
Speaker 1: but is it really crazy, really colossal fuck up in
Speaker 1: the first play of the game, And that's just what happens.
Speaker 1: You got to get shake off those.
Speaker 2: Those Wait what about like I saw recently a guy
Speaker 2: you know, when they throw it through their legs behind them,
Speaker 2: of course you.
Speaker 1: Do okay, hiking it.
Speaker 2: They hiked it and then snap the guy. He hiked
Speaker 2: it too high and the guy missed it. Like, I've
Speaker 2: never seen a hike not go through.
Speaker 1: That's very rare, right, that would very rare. It happens
Speaker 1: that once in a while. It's so embarrassing when it does.
Speaker 2: Is it someone? Is it like a comedian going on
Speaker 2: stage and then the mic cord.
Speaker 1: Falls out of the mic.
Speaker 2: When they take it out of the MIC's sand, it's
Speaker 2: just an instant thing that makes you look like you
Speaker 2: don't know what you're doing, even if you do.
Speaker 1: He hiked it and went over the quarterbacks. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's worse than the wire coming out of the mic,
Speaker 1: because at least with that you can put it back
Speaker 1: in and be like it's cool, it's cool, yeah, and
Speaker 1: get you hike it over the quarterback's head. That play
Speaker 1: is ruined and then the quarterbacks gotta go run and
Speaker 1: get it. Least it's like a.
Speaker 2: Does everyone just go what the fuck just happened?
Speaker 1: It looks like the Three Stooges. When that happens, it.
Speaker 2: Feels to me like, remember, yeah, it feels like Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year. Remember when he got a really good arm.
Speaker 1: Not really remember that movie. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2: Okay, this kid breaks his arm and then he's able
Speaker 2: to throw like, you know, one hundred and twenty miles
Speaker 2: per hour and.
Speaker 1: It fills a picture for the major leagues. That's a
Speaker 1: great kid.
Speaker 2: It's just so fun. Yeah, but then something happens and
Speaker 2: he loses it and he has to play again, and
Speaker 2: it's like, so, I always just have these fears of like,
Speaker 2: what if my life was just like suddenly I woke
Speaker 2: up and I'm playing in this Super Bowl? Do you
Speaker 2: ever have that? You ever think that, like you wake
Speaker 2: up and you're a pilot and you're like, I don't
Speaker 2: know what to do, but everyone expects you to know,
Speaker 2: Like you just switch bodies suddenly.
Speaker 1: That's the premise of Quantum Leap. It is, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what happens to this guy. He just wakes up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been done, all right. Well, I thought you were
Speaker 1: gonna go to the reverse with it and say, what if
Speaker 1: you woke up one day and you didn't have any
Speaker 1: of the skills that you had, which is one of
Speaker 1: my greatest fears.
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, well that could happen.
Speaker 1: You hit your head in the wrong way, yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean it's so it. It could God, there's no wood around.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna talk anymore. Yeah, okay, I can't
Speaker 1: knocket anyone.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let's got a break and come back and
Speaker 2: see we can wrangle. We might be back just with us,
Speaker 2: but we might find up a guest.
Speaker 1: We're back.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we have a special guest. We have
Speaker 2: Chris Long from the green Light podcast, which I was
Speaker 2: on and I forgot. I was I've done so too
Speaker 2: many things well done. As soon as I saw your face,
Speaker 2: I was like, of course I remember you on Zoom.
Speaker 5: Yo.
Speaker 7: It's so funny because I walked by and I was like,
Speaker 7: it's somebody that looks like naked Glazer who does football stuff.
Speaker 7: Now like you walked by our set earlier. I was like,
Speaker 7: if I see, I got a stop you. And then
Speaker 7: you were like doing something, so it's cool.
Speaker 2: It's so funny. They go, do you want Chris song?
Speaker 2: We're like, yeah, of course, they run off to get you.
Speaker 2: And then in the time that I'm just waiting, I
Speaker 2: just go.
Speaker 1: To my Instagram and I'm like, wait, he just DMed me.
Speaker 1: I was like, get you.
Speaker 4: I was like, yo, is it you? I didn't want

Speaker 2: Yeah, what what are your plans for this week? Are
Speaker 2: you in the game?
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm out before the game. I think the
Speaker 7: key to this week it's I've been doing it like
Speaker 7: as a player, coming here to like hang out like
Speaker 7: three days max. If you're working, you can do more,
Speaker 7: and it's best to get out before the game.
Speaker 3: Why is that?
Speaker 4: Because like the best place to watch the game is
Speaker 4: on the couch.
Speaker 2: Man, my boyfriend is doesn't even want to go. He
Speaker 2: was like, I could go to the game, but I
Speaker 2: just I'd rather watch it somewhere I can pay attention.
Speaker 7: That's exactly right. When you go to that game, you're
Speaker 7: just talking to people. It's social and like you got
Speaker 7: to pay an arm and a leg, Like, yeah, you
Speaker 7: want to get out of here, but.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing if you're at a super Bowl
Speaker 1: party at home. You have to talk to people. Some
Speaker 1: days some years, I'm like, I'd rather just be a
Speaker 1: home alone watching the super Bowl right now.
Speaker 4: I had a Super Bowl party.
Speaker 7: I probably won't do it again because my my dog
Speaker 7: bit the neighbor during the Super Bowl in.
Speaker 1: The Oh no blood, yes, Oh my god, is.
Speaker 2: Your dogs alive? I mean that's the dog time down.
Speaker 4: It's been some times your neighbor gave the dog away.

Speaker 4: Yeah, that's weird. That was the I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: want to victim blame him.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: No, he jumped up, like he stepped the dog's foot,
Speaker 7: so that was kind of like just self defense. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and he jumped up. He did the right thing like

Speaker 1: every stadium after players retire, it's not like the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, but for the particular team, they can put
Speaker 1: you in the team's kind of hall of fame, and
Speaker 1: then you get your name on the stadium side. And
Speaker 1: so it's a ring usually because the stadium's a circle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and usually it's not that many people.
Speaker 7: Really, it's no big deal, you know, Like, but for
Speaker 7: the fans, you just have to be on a team

Speaker 1: be the next Bill Belichick. He's like a I think
Speaker 1: he's a coaching in Philly. Yeah, I mean thinks I
Speaker 1: mean Philly, man, what happened?
Speaker 7: It's so hard to get back. Yeah, it's like you know,
Speaker 7: you're so tired. Yeah, it's like an extra month of football. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and you know there's young guys that gets in their
Speaker 7: head and that's whole thing. But more than anything, they
Speaker 7: had to replace two coordinators, you know.

Speaker 7: Coats because like when you when you do great, Like
Speaker 7: I'm not trying a man's flame full.

Speaker 7: your play callers. You know, they go become head coaches
Speaker 7: and when they lost John Gannon who coached the Cardinals
Speaker 7: this year, and Shane Yeah Colts and so yeah, you know,
Speaker 7: like back to the drawing board for everything.
Speaker 1: Plannab my god and brutal time. There's a thing called
Speaker 1: the super Bowl slump to historically, if you go to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and you lose, then the next year
Speaker 1: your team's terrible for some reason because you're just kind
Speaker 1: of I don't know why.

Speaker 2: Why do you like doing these camps so much? Like
Speaker 2: this is something that you've taken upon yourself to do.
Speaker 2: It's you're just like giving back in that way. Working
Speaker 2: with youth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man's fun.
Speaker 6: I think for me, the biggest thing that helps me
Speaker 6: is being able to inspire, you know, the younger generation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel me.
Speaker 6: Like the reason flag football is becoming like this next
Speaker 6: big thing is everyone that can literally become a star,
Speaker 6: whether it's male, whether it's female. And I think that's
Speaker 6: like the most awesome thing ever because I have a daughter,
Speaker 6: and I know my daughter's going to grow up and
Speaker 6: she's going to play football like her dad. You know,
Speaker 6: So me being able to travel the world, teach kids
Speaker 6: about you know, football, flag football, how to become fast,
Speaker 6: how to use different running techniques to become faster. Is
Speaker 6: something that I've always dreamed of doing, man, because i
Speaker 6: want to be a head coach of a high school
Speaker 6: football teams. So I'm using this, you know, to put
Speaker 6: me in different situations with different kind of personalities. So
Speaker 6: that way, when it comes time for me dip into
Speaker 6: that role of a coach, I'm already comfortable and speaking
Speaker 6: with different personalities.
Speaker 1: Oh see, you're you feel me.
Speaker 2: You're looking at You're thinking about your long term goals
Speaker 2: like you're you're you have the most amazing career right now.
Speaker 2: But at some point you're gonna stop playing. What are
Speaker 2: you going to do? Oh you want to be a coach,
Speaker 2: and now you're training to become a coach.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: You're so smart. That's so cool.
Speaker 6: So that way, I've not got two birds in one stone.
Speaker 6: I'm inspiring, but I'm also getting a proper practice that
Speaker 6: I need to, you know, use it later in my coaching.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll find out about Tyrek's coaching or of football

Speaker 1: we tried, we tried.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for being here, Tyreek. We
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. All right, final thought overall, we did it, Brian,
Speaker 2: We're done.
Speaker 1: I mean this has been so incredible. I mean it's
Speaker 1: been so exciting just talking all these players. I never
Speaker 1: get to talk to athletes. I never even there's no
Speaker 1: scenarios chill.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, they're just such like there's no like nervousness,
Speaker 2: nervous energy from any of them.
Speaker 1: No, like we were just talking. I mean they've achieved
Speaker 1: their dreams. Yeah, I mean, what's it like when you
Speaker 1: achieve your dreams?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I've achieved mine, but I'm
Speaker 2: still not chill sometimes I am. But they really do
Speaker 2: have the air about them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean it's I mean their whole lives.
Speaker 1: Like you at least had to go through high school
Speaker 1: where like things were hard, Yeah, and you have to
Speaker 1: do open micros.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've definitely been succeeding since high school.
Speaker 1: They've been said they were the best athletes at their
Speaker 1: school probably growing up, and so they were always I
Speaker 1: mean they what they have to get good at is
Speaker 1: practicing and being regimented and being better than getting swept.
Speaker 2: Up in the fame and the part.
Speaker 1: But you don't have to be good at being popular
Speaker 1: and everyone liking you. Yeah, and that is a lot
Speaker 1: of work for people like me and you.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is, and it's what drives us too.
Speaker 1: That's why we're comedians and not football players.
Speaker 2: That's the only reason that that is truly the only
Speaker 2: reason that I'm not an athlete is because, yeah, I'm insecure.
Speaker 1: But this has been amazing. I Mean, I I was
Speaker 1: getting more nervous as time went on talking to the
Speaker 1: athletes because I felt like I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: want this to be awkward at any point.
Speaker 2: I know, I just want to That's why I don't
Speaker 2: like to have guests on the show, because people always
Speaker 2: like why don't have more guests, And it's because I
Speaker 2: don't ever want them to be like what am I
Speaker 2: doing here?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Or like it's the same as hugs. You were talking
Speaker 2: about it before. I don't like to get hugs because
Speaker 2: I think that oftentimes when I'm giving hugs, I'm kind
Speaker 2: of like, how long.
Speaker 1: Do I have to do this?
Speaker 2: Like how long does this person? Does this person need
Speaker 2: this forever? And that's why every guest that came in,
Speaker 2: I was like, we could, they could just do five minutes,
Speaker 2: Like I just don't want to inconvenience anyone because I
Speaker 2: don't value myself. But everyone seemed very relaxed and fine
Speaker 2: about being here, and there was no dead air, there
Speaker 2: was no awkward moments. These people are used to doing
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. Yes, there we did great.
Speaker 1: What was your highlight guests out of the ones we had?

Speaker 4: So was Roman?
Speaker 2: So was Chris Tilman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Peanut Tillman was also funny. Uh, well Chris was.
Speaker 1: I mean Chris had a comedian vibe. I was like,
Speaker 1: are you a comedian or a football.
Speaker 2: Pyes, yes, he does have that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so nice. But highlight for me. Rodney Thomas.
Speaker 2: I liked because he was a kid.
Speaker 1: I had an emotional reacty.
Speaker 2: Like I was interviewing him for like, you know, kids
Speaker 2: say the darn things like he to me because he's
Speaker 2: so young. Not because he acted like a kid, but
Speaker 2: it's just like I wasn't intimidated.
Speaker 1: Because he's so young.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Out of all the guests we had, he was the
Speaker 1: only one that I was like feeling like emotionally like

Speaker 1: seen her in like forty five minutes. I don't know
Speaker 1: where she went. She is hopefully she's not dating a
Speaker 1: football player now.
Speaker 2: Probably divorced you and got married at one of those
Speaker 2: places to any kind of NFL player. Yeah, she is
Speaker 2: in heaven. I said that she reminded me of a
Speaker 2: little girl. That was like being told she gets to
Speaker 2: go to Disney World. Yeah, frying in the backseat of
Speaker 2: her parents car.

Speaker 1: happier than making her family happy. And so this is
Speaker 1: I know, sick. No, it's disgusting, but so she this
Speaker 1: could There's could be nothing to bring her more joy
Speaker 1: than to come home with more signatures on this trophy.
Speaker 1: It's it's been great.
Speaker 2: My mom is in my apartment right now texting me
Speaker 2: because I forgot a bunch of stuff. I'm going to
Speaker 2: Australia after this and I forgot to pack some things,
Speaker 2: including a guitar Hero controller, which is a guitar and
Speaker 2: I was like, Mom, can you please find the guitar
Speaker 2: hero controller. She's just like, I don't know what that is,
Speaker 2: and I'm like it is a guitar that is deconstructed.

Speaker 2: super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, and he just went off and did
Speaker 1: the parade. Yes, ah yeah, but I'm my happiness will
Speaker 1: ebb and flow based on how much money I went
Speaker 1: on the blackjack tables. I guarantee victory sports gambling, but
Speaker 1: that blackjack table, it is a wild ride.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go over there because I do
Speaker 2: know the rules.
