Speaker 3: Dude, you have no idea. The Vikings to me are

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: like cousins because growing up as a Bucks fan, we

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: always play the Vikings. I mean, Fran Tarkan and for

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: the rest of my life will have a place in

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: my heart. I watched him play at Bucks Stadium throw

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: a perfect past in the rain over the corner of

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: the end zone, like I feel, I feel like the

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: Vikings are part of my family. The Vikings, the Packers,

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: the Bears, like, there's the Saints, Like that's my group.

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Souh.

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: So the old the old NFC Central right back when,

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: back when everybody's like, hey, let's take all the teams

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: grouped near the Great Lakes and then let's throw in

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: an ocean locked team that has to fly there every

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: every year.

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly how it belt. And and I will

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: say to this day, probably one of my favorite players

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: that's ever played basketball or football is Randy Moss. And

43
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: watching him go to the Vikings was like it was

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: so fun. And then and then farther into the Vikings

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: there's like, you know, the Vikings have They're like they're

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: like your cousin who smokes weed with you on Thanksgiving

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: and has cool hot friends.

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the thing, because we've never won a title,

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: and that's what I always I always felt this kinship

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: with the Bucks until you guys got that first title

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: and then Tom Brady went there and you got the

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: second one. Because we still haven't gotten our titles. So

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: we're like if that cousin grew up and just showed

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: up at Thanksgiving still without a job, still asking the

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: younger cousins you want to go for a walk? Man,

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. Dude, it's been and there's

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: a video out there if anybody hasn't seen it, of

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: you getting given a Creamsickle throwback jersey, like a custom

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: one with the machine on it from the team. And

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I know you were in the promo video for the

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: release of that jersey. But to me, as a guy

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: who you know, grew up as a comedian and then

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: got to do things with my favorite team, the emotion

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: that came out of you when you open that like,

65
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: I recognize that as no matter. I mean, your career

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: is amazing, but to have have becoming synonymous with your

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: favorite team means so much. Was really cool to watch.

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: Well, you know, It's a relationship that I put my

69
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: tenth thousand hours in. So like, yeah, I you know,

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: I was a Bucks fan. I was alive when they

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: showed up in Tampa.

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: I was.

73
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: We went to it was very easy to get season tickets.

74
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: We went to every game. Everything. We went to games.

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: This is before this is like, you know, that is

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: back when they wouldn't play the game if it didn't

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: sell out. So they never played a Bucks game, so

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: you had to go to Bucks games. And so I

79
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: went to every Bucks game my high chi. I was

80
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: at the first win they ever had in the stadium.

81
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: They stormed the field, tore down the goalposts, and we sucked.

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: And adversely, I never had any civic pride. I never

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: grew up being proud of Tampa. To this day, it's

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: hard to have pride and growing up in Florida, I

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: love the Bucks. And then I go to college and

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: they switched jerseys and they go to the Pewter and

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: I could not connect with it. They win the Super

88
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 3: Bowl for the first time. Warning snaps on the team, Mike,

89
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: I think Alstar was on the the whole, the whole,

90
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: the Leger, Derek Brooks, Everyone's on that team. But it's

91
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: in that jersey, and I did not have an attachment

92
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: to that jersey. I didn't love those colors. I still

93
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 3: to this day would go to when I performed in Philly,

94
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: I go to Mitchell and Ness and get throwback Bucks jerseys,

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: throwback Bucks ats. I got a call from the Bucks

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: probably six months ago, and I had done some stuff

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: with them and like gone to see in the stadium

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: and you know, and like I was still rooting for them,

99
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: and I was I was doing stuff for them online.

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: I got a call from the Bucks and they say, hey,

101
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're bringing back the cream Sickles. And as

102
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: soon as they said that, all the investment you made

103
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: in this team starts to pay off, all of it,

104
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: all of it. And then and you're like, You're like, yo,

105
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: it's almost like it's almost like, you know, like you

106
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: fall in love with your wife and then you watch

107
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: your start drinking too much white wine at night, and

108
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: then one day she goes, you know what, I'm gonna

109
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: stop drinking white win. I'm gonna sart smoking weed like

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: we were in college. And You're like, that's the chick

111
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: I fell in love with, That's the chick I fell

112
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: in love with and they hit me up and they're like,

113
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: will you fly down and do And I'm like, hell yeah,

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: I go down there and all the dudes like I'd

115
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: run into Chris Godwin at the super Bowl, but all

116
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: the dudes that I looked up to, all the dudes

117
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: that like Derek Brooks is my age, but like, yeah,

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: he's there. Alsots there, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, the Vonte David,

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: everyone's there and I'm just like geeking out. And but

120
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: here's the key. They don't give me a creamsicle jersey.

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: Everyone's got their own creamsycles, right, and.

122
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 2: I don't get one.

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: And so I now listen, look and say, you know this,

124
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: as a as a famous person, I feel like maybe

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: no one spoke up for me. I didn't advocate for

126
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: myself and let them know, Hey, guys, I flew down

127
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: to Tampa. Where's my creamsicle jersey? I just kind of like, yo, you,

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: I know you were making them, Yeah, you're making them.

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: It does It takes nothing to put Chrysler on the

130
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: back of a jersey You've got everyone's got one but me.

131
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 3: But I didn't say anything, you know, you just kind

132
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: of say you don't want to be an ass. So

133
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, cool, I go back. I'm back

134
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: on tour. I'm not thinking of it. And then I'm

135
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: sitting in Vegas and I'm also at the time, I'm

136
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: drinking so much that I'm so emotional every time anyone

137
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: brings that up. You check any podcast I've been on

138
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: for the last next month. When I was partying this

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 3: whole twenty twenty three, anytime anything emotional happened, I cried

140
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: every time. Lack of sleep, over work and drinking way

141
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: too much, and they break out that cream circle. Everyone

142
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: knows they have it, dude. The floodgates opened. I was

143
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: I was ten years old. I was six years old.

144
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm back at Bucks Stadium in the old sombrero and

Speaker 1: I do for the team here my dad. You know,

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: no matter anything else, any late night appearances, he never

175
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: talks about them the way he talks about when I

176
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,719

00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: did the Beer Olympics with a bunch of pro football

399
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: players and brother. When they compete, their eyes go black

400
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: like sharks. They bite onto tables and they have one mode,

401
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: and it's apex predator. And I want Baker Mayfield to

402
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: go old school apex predator, the apex predator that he

403
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,119

404
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: tone it down if he's got to go to the NFL.

405
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,080
