1
00:00:05,496 --> 00:00:07,696
Speaker 1: Lots to Say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle is

2
00:00:07,736 --> 00:00:10,576
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcasts.

3
00:00:12,096 --> 00:00:13,776
Speaker 2: We Got Lots just.

4
00:00:15,896 --> 00:00:16,855
Speaker 3: We got lost?

5
00:00:17,336 --> 00:00:18,056
Speaker 4: Just say.

6
00:00:20,616 --> 00:00:21,736
Speaker 1: What a backer here?

7
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:24,576
Speaker 5: And we hope you say because we got lost?

8
00:00:24,976 --> 00:00:28,456
Speaker 3: Just say, yeah, we got lost.

9
00:00:28,776 --> 00:00:29,496
Speaker 6: Just say.

10
00:00:31,416 --> 00:00:34,736
Speaker 1: Here's Bobby That all right, Welcome to the show. I

11
00:00:34,736 --> 00:00:36,736
Speaker 1: want to start off because we have two Patriots fans

12
00:00:36,775 --> 00:00:39,575
Speaker 1: here and not say congratulations on the super Bowl, but

13
00:00:39,696 --> 00:00:42,775
Speaker 1: congratulations on the super Bowl. But how about Belichick not

14
00:00:42,775 --> 00:00:44,495
Speaker 1: getting in the Hall of Fame? Yeah, how does that

15
00:00:44,576 --> 00:00:45,016
Speaker 1: even happen?

16
00:00:45,135 --> 00:00:48,575
Speaker 2: It's the most ridiculous thing in the entire world. How

17
00:00:48,576 --> 00:00:50,855
Speaker 2: do you sit there as a voter? Hall of Famous?

18
00:00:51,135 --> 00:00:51,415
Speaker 5: Got it?

19
00:00:51,455 --> 00:00:53,296
Speaker 1: We're going to have a I mean, the Hall.

20
00:00:53,175 --> 00:00:56,376
Speaker 2: Of Fame is for greatness. He's the greatest coach of

21
00:00:56,456 --> 00:01:00,896
Speaker 2: all time. He's won the Super Bowl eight times, two

22
00:01:01,576 --> 00:01:04,576
Speaker 2: as the defensive coordinator for the Giants, six as a

23
00:01:04,616 --> 00:01:07,656
Speaker 2: head coach, has been to numerous other Super Bowls. I mean,

24
00:01:08,016 --> 00:01:11,656
Speaker 2: his record speaks for itself. And how you can sit

25
00:01:11,696 --> 00:01:14,256
Speaker 2: there and say this guy is not a first ballot

26
00:01:14,256 --> 00:01:16,216
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, Shame on those people.

27
00:01:16,256 --> 00:01:19,496
Speaker 1: I mean, it is absurd. Can I play a little

28
00:01:19,536 --> 00:01:22,776
Speaker 1: role that I'm familiar with. I know Devil's advocate. Devil's advocate,

29
00:01:22,856 --> 00:01:24,136
Speaker 1: let me start.

30
00:01:24,296 --> 00:01:27,016
Speaker 2: Let me think there's two probably different situations you'll bring up.

31
00:01:27,056 --> 00:01:29,896
Speaker 1: Go ahead, and now, I think he should be in

32
00:01:29,976 --> 00:01:32,136
Speaker 1: for the record, right, I think he's the greatest coach

33
00:01:32,256 --> 00:01:36,896
Speaker 1: of all time NFL. That being said, if we're not

34
00:01:36,976 --> 00:01:39,056
Speaker 1: letting Barry Bonds in, who is the greatest hitter in

35
00:01:39,056 --> 00:01:43,016
Speaker 1: baseball history, then I can understand the reasoning that you

36
00:01:43,056 --> 00:01:46,376
Speaker 1: wouldn't let Belichick in. Now, I think Bonds should be

37
00:01:46,416 --> 00:01:48,096
Speaker 1: in the Baseball Hall of Fame, no doubt about it.

38
00:01:48,136 --> 00:01:51,336
Speaker 1: He's the greatest hitter ever. His body of work before

39
00:01:51,456 --> 00:01:56,816
Speaker 1: he cheated, yeah, was good enough. And I think there

40
00:01:56,816 --> 00:01:59,736
Speaker 1: are seasons that Belichick won where there was no cheating

41
00:02:00,016 --> 00:02:02,496
Speaker 1: that probably would have got him in. But he's got

42
00:02:02,616 --> 00:02:06,136
Speaker 1: two big, old fat scandals that hang over his head. Yes,

43
00:02:06,376 --> 00:02:08,736
Speaker 1: and I was there for spy Gate, Dude, Spygate is

44
00:02:08,856 --> 00:02:11,335
Speaker 1: crazy jooting. Like, by the way, I want to say

45
00:02:11,335 --> 00:02:13,456
Speaker 1: all more time. So nobody thinks I'm literally fighting because

46
00:02:13,456 --> 00:02:15,256
Speaker 1: the Belichick should be in. All I'm doing is playing

47
00:02:15,296 --> 00:02:16,736
Speaker 1: Devil's You're in the middle of us right now. But

48
00:02:16,776 --> 00:02:20,416
Speaker 1: I know, I know, But and Barry Bonds should be

49
00:02:20,456 --> 00:02:22,456
Speaker 1: the first one in the Hall of Fame because everybody

50
00:02:22,496 --> 00:02:24,896
Speaker 1: was doing it. But spy Yate was dirty dog man.

51
00:02:25,736 --> 00:02:27,696
Speaker 2: It had some dirtiness to it for sure, and as

52
00:02:27,696 --> 00:02:29,136
Speaker 2: a player you didn't even realize what was going on

53
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:29,696
Speaker 2: until we got it.

54
00:02:29,776 --> 00:02:32,096
Speaker 1: You didn't realize that you were in it. No, I

55
00:02:32,216 --> 00:02:32,536
Speaker 1: was there.

56
00:02:32,696 --> 00:02:34,136
Speaker 2: I know there when it came out, when and the

57
00:02:34,216 --> 00:02:36,616
Speaker 2: Jets filed the complaint and then they all the research

58
00:02:36,696 --> 00:02:38,536
Speaker 2: started or all the facts started to come out. I

59
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:41,056
Speaker 2: was like, wow, I didn't even know this was even occurring.

60
00:02:41,176 --> 00:02:44,216
Speaker 1: So you were shocked, even though that was week.

61
00:02:44,416 --> 00:02:48,576
Speaker 2: One of two thousand and seven. Okay, it was week one,

62
00:02:49,256 --> 00:02:51,256
Speaker 2: so that comes out. We get to fine it was

63
00:02:51,256 --> 00:02:53,136
Speaker 2: like five hundred thousand dollars. It took around a first

64
00:02:53,176 --> 00:02:54,296
Speaker 2: round draft pick the following year.

65
00:02:54,336 --> 00:02:54,816
Speaker 1: All that stuff.

66
00:02:54,856 --> 00:02:57,056
Speaker 2: Well, we go on to run the table, right, and

67
00:02:57,056 --> 00:02:59,536
Speaker 2: we go to Super Bowl. We eventually lost to the Giants,

68
00:02:59,816 --> 00:03:04,016
Speaker 2: So everybody makes the argument. I remember listening to everybody saying, oh, well,

69
00:03:04,496 --> 00:03:06,616
Speaker 2: you know the plays, and you know what defensive structure,

70
00:03:06,616 --> 00:03:08,176
Speaker 2: and you know that they're going to run a tt up.

71
00:03:08,256 --> 00:03:09,576
Speaker 2: I was like, how much time do you have him

72
00:03:09,616 --> 00:03:11,175
Speaker 2: between a play? I mean, you're getting in and out

73
00:03:11,176 --> 00:03:12,856
Speaker 2: of a huddle. You break the huddle, you get the

74
00:03:12,856 --> 00:03:13,496
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage.

75
00:03:13,536 --> 00:03:14,335
Speaker 1: You Okay.

76
00:03:14,576 --> 00:03:18,376
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, even after all

77
00:03:18,496 --> 00:03:20,416
Speaker 2: the different facts came out about the case, which it

78
00:03:20,416 --> 00:03:21,736
Speaker 2: did look dirty for sure.

79
00:03:21,816 --> 00:03:24,376
Speaker 1: Look was it was. If they're pulling a first round

80
00:03:24,456 --> 00:03:29,136
Speaker 1: draft pick, Yeah, that's big time. I don't think that

81
00:03:29,256 --> 00:03:33,056
Speaker 1: makes him worse of a coach. It's a it's a strike.

82
00:03:35,696 --> 00:03:37,616
Speaker 1: I'm just playing devil's advocate because if you're going to

83
00:03:38,016 --> 00:03:41,216
Speaker 1: And also Bill Poutleian's probably the reason even though he

84
00:03:41,296 --> 00:03:44,016
Speaker 1: said he voted for Belichick, he said he voted for Belichick.

85
00:03:44,056 --> 00:03:45,376
Speaker 1: I don't have to check that.

86
00:03:45,536 --> 00:03:47,376
Speaker 5: He did say that, and then he said I think

87
00:03:47,416 --> 00:03:49,976
Speaker 5: I did. I'm like ninety five percent sure I did.

88
00:03:50,056 --> 00:03:51,736
Speaker 1: Like, how do you not know? Know?

89
00:03:51,816 --> 00:03:54,576
Speaker 2: You either do or you don't vote for Bill Belichick

90
00:03:54,616 --> 00:03:55,976
Speaker 2: as a first ballot Hall of Famer.

91
00:03:56,056 --> 00:03:58,456
Speaker 1: But also, if there are fifty people in the room,

92
00:03:58,736 --> 00:04:01,816
Speaker 1: and I believe that's what it is, right voting ten

93
00:04:01,856 --> 00:04:05,096
Speaker 1: of them, if ten vote no, you're not going to

94
00:04:05,176 --> 00:04:08,336
Speaker 1: make it it. So you got to whip those votes.

95
00:04:08,696 --> 00:04:12,016
Speaker 1: You got to whip the ten to go ten more

96
00:04:12,336 --> 00:04:14,896
Speaker 1: because that'll be eleven, because I think if eighty percent

97
00:04:14,896 --> 00:04:17,016
Speaker 1: you're in correct. Yeah, so you need eleven total votes

98
00:04:17,056 --> 00:04:20,456
Speaker 1: Pollion plus ten. We're just assuming that it was Pollion

99
00:04:20,496 --> 00:04:23,015
Speaker 1: who was because look, they hated each other. Of course,

100
00:04:23,695 --> 00:04:26,176
Speaker 1: Uh so he's got to get ten other people. Yeah,

101
00:04:26,496 --> 00:04:29,296
Speaker 1: so ten other people go, you know what, he cheated?

102
00:04:29,536 --> 00:04:31,535
Speaker 1: I bet you. Though not a single person thinks he

103
00:04:31,536 --> 00:04:33,295
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. This was probably

104
00:04:33,335 --> 00:04:38,656
Speaker 1: just another punishment for Spygate and to flate flate gate,

105
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:40,176
Speaker 1: which Jordan Putson Gate.

106
00:04:40,255 --> 00:04:42,496
Speaker 2: Yeah, they deflated the balls and all of a sudden,

107
00:04:42,655 --> 00:04:45,135
Speaker 2: Brady goes out and throws for more yards. Made a difference,

108
00:04:45,296 --> 00:04:47,255
Speaker 2: make a difference, I know, but people look at it

109
00:04:47,255 --> 00:04:47,695
Speaker 2: that way.

110
00:04:47,976 --> 00:04:48,815
Speaker 1: It's another.

111
00:04:50,015 --> 00:04:52,536
Speaker 2: It's one of those other other things that come up

112
00:04:52,616 --> 00:04:55,216
Speaker 2: that when you talk about their dynasty, you bring up

113
00:04:55,215 --> 00:04:57,336
Speaker 2: those two things, even though the one year we didn't

114
00:04:57,335 --> 00:04:59,536
Speaker 2: win the super Bowl and that your year.

115
00:04:59,895 --> 00:05:05,056
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, one of those things.

116
00:05:06,135 --> 00:05:08,015
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's been to nine Super Bowls, and

117
00:05:08,255 --> 00:05:10,255
Speaker 2: of course I go to the one that he he

118
00:05:10,296 --> 00:05:11,176
Speaker 2: doesn't decide to win.

119
00:05:11,215 --> 00:05:13,575
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's been to six Super Bowls. That's first

120
00:05:13,856 --> 00:05:14,736
Speaker 1: in coaching trees.

121
00:05:15,616 --> 00:05:19,335
Speaker 2: This is the head coach like, yeah, won six okay,

122
00:05:19,575 --> 00:05:23,416
Speaker 2: been to six super Bowl appearances. That's first playoff wins,

123
00:05:23,496 --> 00:05:26,656
Speaker 2: thirty one, that's first regular season wins three oh two,

124
00:05:26,815 --> 00:05:27,416
Speaker 2: that's third.

125
00:05:27,775 --> 00:05:29,976
Speaker 1: I think everybody thinks he will for sure get in.

126
00:05:30,655 --> 00:05:33,616
Speaker 1: I think if Pollion is the person that is responsible

127
00:05:33,616 --> 00:05:35,176
Speaker 1: for him not getting in, he could not do it

128
00:05:35,215 --> 00:05:37,455
Speaker 1: by himself. So there had to be ten other people

129
00:05:37,496 --> 00:05:40,455
Speaker 1: that said we can't let him in first ballot because

130
00:05:40,496 --> 00:05:43,656
Speaker 1: there was some cheating. I think you should have got in.

131
00:05:43,736 --> 00:05:46,015
Speaker 1: I think he will get in. But also now he's

132
00:05:46,015 --> 00:05:49,936
Speaker 1: the victim, and that's crazy. It's just that's crazy. Belichick's

133
00:05:49,936 --> 00:05:51,536
Speaker 1: now getting to be the victim. Yeah, that's third.

134
00:05:51,575 --> 00:05:55,856
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everybody's rallying around this is the voting process

135
00:05:55,976 --> 00:05:56,575
Speaker 2: messed up?

136
00:05:56,695 --> 00:05:59,336
Speaker 1: Do we have to rethink how we do this? Who's

137
00:05:59,416 --> 00:06:00,695
Speaker 1: voting for? What? I mean?

138
00:06:01,176 --> 00:06:03,936
Speaker 2: It is crazy when you look at the articles now

139
00:06:04,015 --> 00:06:06,135
Speaker 2: that are coming out in the media, in social media

140
00:06:06,135 --> 00:06:10,255
Speaker 2: and everything else actually backing Bill Belichick.

141
00:06:10,335 --> 00:06:10,535
Speaker 6: I know.

142
00:06:11,056 --> 00:06:14,415
Speaker 1: So I'll say this about you two. You're just winning

143
00:06:15,096 --> 00:06:18,895
Speaker 1: too quickly. You needed to be bad for longer. It

144
00:06:18,976 --> 00:06:22,695
Speaker 1: is unfair. It is unfair that US Patriots players and

145
00:06:22,775 --> 00:06:26,735
Speaker 1: fans and lovers of the organization, get to experience wins

146
00:06:26,736 --> 00:06:30,295
Speaker 1: again this quickly. I'm on a lifetime of losing. Yeah,

147
00:06:30,296 --> 00:06:34,456
Speaker 1: and you guys, you know, you have successful seasons. You know,

148
00:06:34,496 --> 00:06:37,936
Speaker 1: the Patriots win championships, Kevin has a fan. You got

149
00:06:37,976 --> 00:06:39,975
Speaker 1: to experience all of that. I can't believe it. And

150
00:06:40,015 --> 00:06:41,335
Speaker 1: now you're back in the super Bowl.

151
00:06:41,455 --> 00:06:44,815
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really can't believe it. On Sunday night, I

152
00:06:44,856 --> 00:06:46,416
Speaker 5: was like, I feel like we're living in a twilight

153
00:06:46,496 --> 00:06:49,216
Speaker 5: zone where it's twenty eighteen, fifteen sixteen all over.

154
00:06:49,135 --> 00:06:53,455
Speaker 1: It just Boston fans in general. Oh, they're so spoiled, No, spoiled,

155
00:06:53,775 --> 00:06:54,376
Speaker 1: so spoiled.

156
00:06:54,416 --> 00:06:57,496
Speaker 5: Now if I say I recognize that and I fully

157
00:06:57,775 --> 00:06:59,576
Speaker 5: agree with that, does that help it all or no?

158
00:07:00,815 --> 00:07:01,856
Speaker 1: I don't hate you as much.

159
00:07:01,895 --> 00:07:03,815
Speaker 2: But were you the same Were you the same fan

160
00:07:03,895 --> 00:07:06,216
Speaker 2: that was booing the last few years and they're down.

161
00:07:06,335 --> 00:07:09,015
Speaker 1: Not never left, never left as a fan? You know?

162
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:11,576
Speaker 1: I carried Brady the Tampa. That was about it.

163
00:07:11,616 --> 00:07:13,856
Speaker 5: But I stayed with him, and I there is obviously

164
00:07:13,896 --> 00:07:17,095
Speaker 5: some moves I hated, Yeah, but I was always like, well,

165
00:07:17,176 --> 00:07:20,056
Speaker 5: we're still only like three years, that's cool, four years,

166
00:07:20,096 --> 00:07:20,456
Speaker 5: that's cool.

167
00:07:20,496 --> 00:07:22,336
Speaker 1: And then now it's I can't believe it.

168
00:07:22,416 --> 00:07:24,136
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna have to get through the matching tattoo,

169
00:07:24,136 --> 00:07:28,696
Speaker 2: because Kevin has a Brady faced tattoo on his back,

170
00:07:28,736 --> 00:07:30,056
Speaker 2: and now he's gonna have to get Drake May.

171
00:07:30,215 --> 00:07:35,376
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna get the step Brothers. Yeah, it'll be awesome. Ahead, Yes,

172
00:07:35,496 --> 00:07:38,855
Speaker 1: tattooed on my whole back. So Vrabel hasn't coached in

173
00:07:38,936 --> 00:07:41,175
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, but obviously he's played in Super bowls.

174
00:07:41,296 --> 00:07:42,496
Speaker 1: Well do you think that matters?

175
00:07:43,616 --> 00:07:45,776
Speaker 2: I think he understands the environment and can lay out

176
00:07:45,776 --> 00:07:48,975
Speaker 2: the picture for the team very vividly about what to

177
00:07:49,056 --> 00:07:51,696
Speaker 2: expect because the Super Bowl is unlike any event that

178
00:07:51,976 --> 00:07:55,296
Speaker 2: or a game that you play in. There's a longer halftime.

179
00:07:55,376 --> 00:07:58,175
Speaker 2: It's thirty minutes because of the entertainment at a halftime,

180
00:07:58,256 --> 00:08:01,496
Speaker 2: the spectacle that goes on before the national anthem. It's

181
00:08:01,536 --> 00:08:03,776
Speaker 2: this build and you feel it. You'll go out for

182
00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:06,095
Speaker 2: warm ups and you can feel the energy is just

183
00:08:06,696 --> 00:08:09,456
Speaker 2: erupting around you. The fans are into it. So you

184
00:08:09,616 --> 00:08:11,416
Speaker 2: know what the stage is, and a lot of these

185
00:08:11,416 --> 00:08:13,896
Speaker 2: guys have played on big stages before, but this is

186
00:08:14,096 --> 00:08:16,176
Speaker 2: a unique experience when you come out because you know

187
00:08:16,215 --> 00:08:20,056
Speaker 2: you're the only football game left everybody's watching, millions of people,

188
00:08:20,296 --> 00:08:21,896
Speaker 2: and this is for all the marbles. This is what

189
00:08:22,016 --> 00:08:25,456
Speaker 2: our goal is as athletes, is to go to that.

190
00:08:25,376 --> 00:08:28,096
Speaker 1: Pinnacle and win that game. And so there's a lot

191
00:08:28,096 --> 00:08:28,496
Speaker 1: of pressure.

192
00:08:28,536 --> 00:08:30,576
Speaker 2: So I think that he can give a unique perspective

193
00:08:30,616 --> 00:08:32,936
Speaker 2: playing in the game and understanding the pressures that come

194
00:08:32,976 --> 00:08:36,336
Speaker 2: along with being one of the players that are going

195
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:37,776
Speaker 2: to go out and have to perform at a high

196
00:08:37,856 --> 00:08:39,415
Speaker 2: level and blocking out the noise.

197
00:08:39,376 --> 00:08:41,776
Speaker 1: Probably to the week in between, since again he's played

198
00:08:41,776 --> 00:08:43,896
Speaker 1: in that, he knows kind of how to pace yourself

199
00:08:43,896 --> 00:08:45,056
Speaker 1: for the week off, right.

200
00:08:45,616 --> 00:08:50,456
Speaker 2: I mean, that's another big goal is leading up to

201
00:08:50,535 --> 00:08:53,175
Speaker 2: the super Bowl, is getting healthy, knowing that you've got

202
00:08:53,216 --> 00:08:55,016
Speaker 2: to get the work in because you know the opponent

203
00:08:55,055 --> 00:08:57,415
Speaker 2: two weeks ahead of time, so putting in that work

204
00:08:57,496 --> 00:09:00,655
Speaker 2: more mentally probably than physically, but making sure your team's

205
00:09:00,736 --> 00:09:02,776
Speaker 2: right by the time you get on that plane and

206
00:09:02,816 --> 00:09:05,656
Speaker 2: head out and start that weekly preparation leading to the

207
00:09:05,655 --> 00:09:06,055
Speaker 2: super Bowl.

208
00:09:06,175 --> 00:09:08,136
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take a step back here only

209
00:09:08,175 --> 00:09:11,695
Speaker 1: because it's reminded me of talking about it. Obviously, everybody's

210
00:09:11,696 --> 00:09:14,976
Speaker 1: watching the Super Bowl, biggest television event in America every

211
00:09:14,976 --> 00:09:18,415
Speaker 1: single year, So taking about three steps back. Let's say

212
00:09:18,415 --> 00:09:22,696
Speaker 1: Monday night football when not everybody's watching, but it's the

213
00:09:22,776 --> 00:09:25,655
Speaker 1: only game on, right, Because when you said that everybody's watching,

214
00:09:25,696 --> 00:09:27,376
Speaker 1: it's a different energy when you guys would play like

215
00:09:27,376 --> 00:09:29,336
Speaker 1: a Monday night football game or a Sunday night game,

216
00:09:29,576 --> 00:09:31,896
Speaker 1: did it feel a little more elevated for that same

217
00:09:31,935 --> 00:09:34,056
Speaker 1: reason that you knew you were the only game on.

218
00:09:34,336 --> 00:09:35,175
Speaker 1: Was there a different energy?

219
00:09:35,256 --> 00:09:37,616
Speaker 2: Yes, there's always a different energy for night games because

220
00:09:37,655 --> 00:09:40,016
Speaker 2: you know you're probably the only game on, whether it's

221
00:09:40,055 --> 00:09:42,376
Speaker 2: a Sunday night football game, which is a really big deal,

222
00:09:42,696 --> 00:09:44,816
Speaker 2: or a Monday night football game. Even those Thursday night

223
00:09:44,816 --> 00:09:47,056
Speaker 2: football games is difficult as.

224
00:09:46,935 --> 00:09:48,016
Speaker 1: They are to prepare.

225
00:09:48,336 --> 00:09:50,736
Speaker 2: You know that you're the only game going, and when

226
00:09:50,776 --> 00:09:53,896
Speaker 2: the lights come on, there's something about that energy that

227
00:09:53,976 --> 00:09:57,216
Speaker 2: comes along with it. And it's not the same grandio

228
00:09:57,336 --> 00:09:59,736
Speaker 2: so spectacle like I said about the Super Bowl, but

229
00:10:00,016 --> 00:10:02,935
Speaker 2: you feel that energy in the stadium. So there are

230
00:10:03,016 --> 00:10:06,576
Speaker 2: those instances throughout the season, especially those night games, that

231
00:10:06,655 --> 00:10:08,215
Speaker 2: you feel. And then as you go on in the

232
00:10:08,256 --> 00:10:10,416
Speaker 2: season and you have like we played a lot of

233
00:10:10,415 --> 00:10:11,295
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock games.

234
00:10:11,456 --> 00:10:13,295
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask games like twelve o'clock, you can

235
00:10:13,456 --> 00:10:16,296
Speaker 1: hide a little bit. You got to get yourself going right.

236
00:10:16,336 --> 00:10:18,776
Speaker 2: You're waking up having your cereal and your drive over

237
00:10:18,856 --> 00:10:21,016
Speaker 2: and it's Sonny out and it's you know, it's like

238
00:10:21,336 --> 00:10:24,376
Speaker 2: the the fans are there. But I mean, i'd say

239
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:26,776
Speaker 2: division opponents you feel that a lot because you know

240
00:10:26,816 --> 00:10:28,776
Speaker 2: if you win your division, you're gonna go to the playoffs.

241
00:10:28,816 --> 00:10:30,936
Speaker 2: So there's a lot that goes into it and how

242
00:10:30,976 --> 00:10:32,256
Speaker 2: a player motivates himself.

243
00:10:32,336 --> 00:10:34,216
Speaker 1: There's like seven games going on at one stuff, right,

244
00:10:34,256 --> 00:10:36,016
Speaker 1: there's seven games, so you're just one of one of

245
00:10:36,055 --> 00:10:37,856
Speaker 1: the pack. All right, what do you got over there,

246
00:10:37,935 --> 00:10:40,055
Speaker 1: mister Mackcastle? All right, well.

247
00:10:40,295 --> 00:10:43,376
Speaker 2: Did you see that Shador Sanders has made the Pro

248
00:10:43,496 --> 00:10:48,576
Speaker 2: Bowl in his rookie season. Here are his stats. The

249
00:10:48,616 --> 00:10:51,695
Speaker 2: Browns went under his starts. He started seven games, was

250
00:10:51,736 --> 00:10:53,575
Speaker 2: three and four. Hey, not back to the Browns, so

251
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:57,576
Speaker 2: let's be honest. He completed fifty six point six percent

252
00:10:57,616 --> 00:11:01,616
Speaker 2: of his passes through for fourteen hundred yards with seven

253
00:11:01,655 --> 00:11:05,536
Speaker 2: touchdown passes and ten interceptions. Sanders also ran for one

254
00:11:05,616 --> 00:11:08,815
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty nine yards one touchdown in twenty one carries.

255
00:11:08,935 --> 00:11:12,696
Speaker 2: I'm not by any means on Shador Sanders here, and

256
00:11:12,736 --> 00:11:15,576
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it, But there's got to be some

257
00:11:15,736 --> 00:11:19,376
Speaker 2: guidelines to who gets to put a title on their

258
00:11:19,456 --> 00:11:23,616
Speaker 2: name as a Pro bowler and from an overall performance

259
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:25,815
Speaker 2: in the scale of what you had to perform at

260
00:11:25,816 --> 00:11:28,376
Speaker 2: first season in order to be considered.

261
00:11:28,376 --> 00:11:32,256
Speaker 1: A pro bowler. In my opinion, I agree, this is

262
00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:35,976
Speaker 1: what I think probably happened. First of all, the Pro Bowl.

263
00:11:37,415 --> 00:11:38,936
Speaker 1: It's not what it used to be, and what it

264
00:11:39,016 --> 00:11:41,656
Speaker 1: used to be wasn't much true. You know, it's not

265
00:11:41,736 --> 00:11:44,616
Speaker 1: like they'd get up for the game to Hawaii. I'll

266
00:11:44,616 --> 00:11:47,335
Speaker 1: tell you one person that did, Adrian Peterson. He's running

267
00:11:47,336 --> 00:11:50,896
Speaker 1: through people's faces. He's like Pete Rose and the All Star.

268
00:11:51,096 --> 00:11:52,816
Speaker 1: I swear. He's taking the catch up everybody.

269
00:11:52,816 --> 00:11:56,056
Speaker 4: He's like trying to like, you know, wrap up stop. Well,

270
00:11:56,295 --> 00:11:58,336
Speaker 4: usually try to keep these guys up. Some guys would

271
00:11:58,336 --> 00:11:59,936
Speaker 4: go like you got to go a little bit, especially

272
00:11:59,976 --> 00:12:02,976
Speaker 4: when it was tackle. But Adrian was searching people out

273
00:12:02,976 --> 00:12:05,256
Speaker 4: to run through them, and everybody's like, what is going

274
00:12:05,295 --> 00:12:07,416
Speaker 4: on right now? He knew one mode?

275
00:12:07,496 --> 00:12:09,535
Speaker 1: Well now it's like a flag football game. Yeah, I

276
00:12:09,535 --> 00:12:12,216
Speaker 1: don't know. Tiddley winks he played POGs. Did you play

277
00:12:12,216 --> 00:12:15,016
Speaker 1: Poggs as a kid? No, But he slapped the things. Yeah,

278
00:12:15,055 --> 00:12:18,376
Speaker 1: so it's not a real thing, but you have to

279
00:12:18,496 --> 00:12:20,376
Speaker 1: keep it going because a lot of guys are being

280
00:12:20,415 --> 00:12:23,776
Speaker 1: incentivized by it, and it's a television show that they

281
00:12:24,295 --> 00:12:26,336
Speaker 1: you know, will feature some of these events. So my

282
00:12:26,696 --> 00:12:30,376
Speaker 1: what my understanding is they go to these players, can

283
00:12:30,376 --> 00:12:33,095
Speaker 1: you do it? Nope? Can you do it? Nope? Can

284
00:12:33,096 --> 00:12:35,136
Speaker 1: you do it? You're in? Yeah, but I'm in the playoffs?

285
00:12:35,175 --> 00:12:37,856
Speaker 1: Can you do it? So there's only a few people left,

286
00:12:38,136 --> 00:12:41,455
Speaker 1: and you need three quarterbacks. So like Trevor Lawrence probably

287
00:12:41,456 --> 00:12:44,976
Speaker 1: got him, probably turned it down. You got Herbert that

288
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:47,856
Speaker 1: turned it down. C D. Stroud that turned it down.

289
00:12:47,896 --> 00:12:50,376
Speaker 1: It's all these guys probably turning it down. But where

290
00:12:50,376 --> 00:12:54,136
Speaker 1: does he lie on that list? You think, who did

291
00:12:54,136 --> 00:12:58,936
Speaker 1: he get asked over? Probably I mean go to Oakland

292
00:13:00,816 --> 00:13:05,616
Speaker 1: in Vegas. Yeah, yeah, I think, uh, I mean he

293
00:13:05,616 --> 00:13:08,616
Speaker 1: probably there's only sixteen quarterbacks in the AFC. Yeah, I

294
00:13:08,616 --> 00:13:13,216
Speaker 1: think that's probably one guy that it didn't get to. Yeah,

295
00:13:13,256 --> 00:13:14,856
Speaker 1: and he's having a bad run, didn't get Pro Bowl

296
00:13:14,856 --> 00:13:16,415
Speaker 1: and then also was playing for Seattle last year and

297
00:13:16,415 --> 00:13:19,215
Speaker 1: then went to the Raiders. Gino, Yeah, Gino like goes

298
00:13:19,256 --> 00:13:21,096
Speaker 1: from a team during the Super Bowl, the year he's out,

299
00:13:21,096 --> 00:13:23,335
Speaker 1: and tough, tough.

300
00:13:23,216 --> 00:13:25,815
Speaker 2: Year for Gino, especially with the splash that he made

301
00:13:25,935 --> 00:13:29,216
Speaker 2: going back to Seattle and then just resurrecting his career

302
00:13:29,216 --> 00:13:32,295
Speaker 2: and everything, and then going with Pete Carrolzon to head coach,

303
00:13:32,336 --> 00:13:34,736
Speaker 2: thinking he's going to do it again in Oakland, and

304
00:13:34,776 --> 00:13:35,896
Speaker 2: things just went awry.

305
00:13:36,336 --> 00:13:40,336
Speaker 1: I think that when Huntley made it, we at least

306
00:13:40,415 --> 00:13:45,655
Speaker 1: understood that Baltimore was a pretty good team, right, and

307
00:13:45,736 --> 00:13:48,295
Speaker 1: he played pretty good, but it was always wow, can

308
00:13:48,295 --> 00:13:51,935
Speaker 1: you believe Snoop Huntley made the Pro Bowl? This supersedes

309
00:13:51,976 --> 00:13:54,295
Speaker 1: that by far, by far. Well, if you have more

310
00:13:54,535 --> 00:13:58,336
Speaker 1: played seven games. It's almost like in the NCAA tournament,

311
00:13:58,336 --> 00:14:00,496
Speaker 1: you got to be five hundred in conference to make

312
00:14:00,535 --> 00:14:04,656
Speaker 1: it pretty much right, this is almost if you don't

313
00:14:04,696 --> 00:14:07,055
Speaker 1: have more touchdown interceptions, you can't make the Pro Bowl.

314
00:14:07,576 --> 00:14:09,576
Speaker 1: Like that should just be the rule. That's what I'm saying,

315
00:14:09,655 --> 00:14:13,776
Speaker 1: And I like, sugar, Yeah, it is bizarre. It is

316
00:14:13,816 --> 00:14:31,336
Speaker 1: pretty bizarre. Let's go over here to where we live,

317
00:14:31,376 --> 00:14:34,456
Speaker 1: and I've spent many, many a day talking about how

318
00:14:34,496 --> 00:14:38,216
Speaker 1: dysfunctionable Titans organization is. And this is definitely not a

319
00:14:38,216 --> 00:14:41,056
Speaker 1: Homer show because I'm not a Titans fan and they've

320
00:14:41,096 --> 00:14:44,776
Speaker 1: lost it a lot. But I think they may be

321
00:14:44,896 --> 00:14:48,136
Speaker 1: building a nice little coaching staff. I think they're doing

322
00:14:48,176 --> 00:14:52,496
Speaker 1: a really good job. I mean Sawa with so I

323
00:14:52,536 --> 00:14:54,576
Speaker 1: think Sala is a good coach. You can't go to

324
00:14:54,616 --> 00:14:56,176
Speaker 1: the Jets and lose and make me think you're back

325
00:14:56,256 --> 00:14:58,296
Speaker 1: and then your boy Dable's coming here. I know.

326
00:14:58,416 --> 00:15:00,816
Speaker 2: Offensive coordinator, Yeah, we were talking about him and possibly

327
00:15:01,176 --> 00:15:03,176
Speaker 2: well last week I was promoting him to the Buffalo

328
00:15:03,216 --> 00:15:04,296
Speaker 2: Bill's head coaching him.

329
00:15:04,456 --> 00:15:06,296
Speaker 1: You didn't prom Harden, promote them.

330
00:15:06,296 --> 00:15:08,296
Speaker 2: They weren't listening to. I mean they won't Joe Brady, Okay,

331
00:15:08,296 --> 00:15:09,936
Speaker 2: in house higher, I get it. But at the end

332
00:15:09,976 --> 00:15:12,736
Speaker 2: of the day, I mean, just with those two guys

333
00:15:12,736 --> 00:15:15,176
Speaker 2: and their expertise and how long they've been in the league.

334
00:15:15,176 --> 00:15:18,336
Speaker 2: They both obviously had head coaching I mean head coaching

335
00:15:18,456 --> 00:15:22,936
Speaker 2: jobs in the past. That's a good start for this organization.

336
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:24,776
Speaker 1: And I feel like Solid doesn't have to bring in

337
00:15:24,856 --> 00:15:28,936
Speaker 1: some massive defensive coordinator name because that's what he does, right.

338
00:15:28,976 --> 00:15:31,056
Speaker 1: He can bring somebody up and up and coming and

339
00:15:31,176 --> 00:15:33,416
Speaker 1: new because he defenses his thing. You got a great

340
00:15:33,456 --> 00:15:35,176
Speaker 1: defensive guy, you got a great offensive guy. You got

341
00:15:35,176 --> 00:15:38,136
Speaker 1: a good quarterback, You've got a great Jeffrey Simmons, So

342
00:15:38,256 --> 00:15:41,576
Speaker 1: you've got both sides of the ball with somebody to

343
00:15:41,616 --> 00:15:43,376
Speaker 1: build around. Do you have pieces here?

344
00:15:43,536 --> 00:15:43,576
Speaker 2: Is?

345
00:15:44,336 --> 00:15:47,256
Speaker 1: Is it crazy that the Titans might not be digging

346
00:15:47,296 --> 00:15:48,696
Speaker 1: themselves an even deeper hole.

347
00:15:49,656 --> 00:15:52,816
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not crazy to believe because you look

348
00:15:52,856 --> 00:15:57,696
Speaker 2: at their Division two. I mean, Jacksonville obviously outperformed any expectation.

349
00:15:57,736 --> 00:15:58,536
Speaker 1: They're going to be good.

350
00:15:58,776 --> 00:16:00,616
Speaker 2: Indianapolis, you don't know what they're going to do with

351
00:16:00,656 --> 00:16:03,816
Speaker 2: the quarterback position right now. It could go either way

352
00:16:03,856 --> 00:16:06,016
Speaker 2: for that team, even though they've got pie is there.

353
00:16:06,256 --> 00:16:09,136
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor obviously is probably one of the best backs.

354
00:16:09,136 --> 00:16:10,936
Speaker 1: If not what David Jones going to do miss the

355
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:12,256
Speaker 1: first part of the season next year after it, I

356
00:16:12,296 --> 00:16:14,616
Speaker 1: would think injury, Yeah, yeah, I would think so. So

357
00:16:14,656 --> 00:16:15,176
Speaker 1: they don't know.

358
00:16:15,256 --> 00:16:18,176
Speaker 2: They're in flux right there with the quarterback position. The

359
00:16:18,216 --> 00:16:20,136
Speaker 2: Texans are good. They've got a great defense, but there's

360
00:16:20,176 --> 00:16:22,416
Speaker 2: a lot of question marks around that offensive unit and

361
00:16:22,456 --> 00:16:25,856
Speaker 2: c J. Stroud, especially after the how he played in

362
00:16:25,896 --> 00:16:27,696
Speaker 2: the playoffs with the turnover issues.

363
00:16:27,856 --> 00:16:31,216
Speaker 1: So could the Titans. Could the Titans be pushed to

364
00:16:31,376 --> 00:16:33,496
Speaker 1: maybe get a division title here? I mean, I'm not

365
00:16:33,536 --> 00:16:37,896
Speaker 1: going to jump five hundred, my mind will be blown

366
00:16:37,936 --> 00:16:40,696
Speaker 1: because I'm so used to them losing. Do you have

367
00:16:40,776 --> 00:16:42,896
Speaker 1: like an affinity, like a personal affinity for the Titans

368
00:16:42,896 --> 00:16:43,576
Speaker 1: that you played there.

369
00:16:45,136 --> 00:16:47,455
Speaker 2: No, I think just being here and my kids growing

370
00:16:47,536 --> 00:16:50,056
Speaker 2: up here, that they definitely have more of an affinity.

371
00:16:50,336 --> 00:16:52,496
Speaker 1: They don't win. If you're a kid, it no matter

372
00:16:52,576 --> 00:16:53,416
Speaker 1: how local a team is.

373
00:16:53,576 --> 00:16:56,296
Speaker 2: I just think you get caught up in the But

374
00:16:56,376 --> 00:16:58,816
Speaker 2: their dad played for him, dad played for him, and

375
00:16:59,416 --> 00:17:02,576
Speaker 2: all that. But still I don't. I think it's more

376
00:17:02,576 --> 00:17:04,696
Speaker 2: of their friend groups, right, the jerseys and all that.

377
00:17:05,256 --> 00:17:07,656
Speaker 2: I do believe that they're a ways off from being

378
00:17:07,696 --> 00:17:11,016
Speaker 2: a legitimate contender just because you named two players. Cam

379
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:14,536
Speaker 2: Ward's a great start because he's a franchise potential quarterback

380
00:17:14,776 --> 00:17:16,256
Speaker 2: and then Jeffrey Simmons on the other side.

381
00:17:16,296 --> 00:17:17,296
Speaker 1: But they've got a lot of.

382
00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:20,055
Speaker 2: Holes that they've got to fill in order to become

383
00:17:20,096 --> 00:17:22,696
Speaker 2: a team that competes successfully year in and year out.

384
00:17:22,936 --> 00:17:26,336
Speaker 1: If they just don't get worse, that's that's a positive.

385
00:17:26,455 --> 00:17:30,416
Speaker 1: That's massive for us. It's been downhill for the last

386
00:17:30,975 --> 00:17:35,015
Speaker 1: four or five years. Just competitive, right, and it not

387
00:17:35,056 --> 00:17:37,576
Speaker 1: competing for the number one draft spot every year. Yeah,

388
00:17:37,616 --> 00:17:37,936
Speaker 1: and I.

389
00:17:37,856 --> 00:17:40,176
Speaker 2: Think the other part for a lot of Titans fans

390
00:17:40,176 --> 00:17:43,376
Speaker 2: that really hurts is the guy that you fired a

391
00:17:43,376 --> 00:17:45,976
Speaker 2: few years ago. He's in the super Bowl, by the way,

392
00:17:46,576 --> 00:17:50,215
Speaker 2: and that stings that always fired him.

393
00:17:50,495 --> 00:17:53,616
Speaker 1: You fired, and everybody knew it was a bad firing

394
00:17:53,656 --> 00:17:56,616
Speaker 1: when it happened. It wasn't that people were supportive and going, yeah,

395
00:17:56,616 --> 00:17:59,216
Speaker 1: that's a good move. Everybody went, what you did? What

396
00:17:59,735 --> 00:18:02,256
Speaker 1: you did that because you had an argument or you didn't.

397
00:18:02,256 --> 00:18:04,015
Speaker 1: Guys didn't get along a little bit. Let's let's make

398
00:18:04,056 --> 00:18:07,015
Speaker 1: this work. No, okay, we're going to fire you. And

399
00:18:07,096 --> 00:18:10,096
Speaker 1: then what is it? Two years removed? This is the

400
00:18:10,136 --> 00:18:12,295
Speaker 1: second year in the first year is ahead frest year

401
00:18:12,336 --> 00:18:13,656
Speaker 1: head first year as a head coach.

402
00:18:13,735 --> 00:18:16,576
Speaker 2: You're taking a team that won four games last year

403
00:18:16,616 --> 00:18:17,656
Speaker 2: and now you're in the super Bowl.

404
00:18:17,696 --> 00:18:22,016
Speaker 1: It's crazy something else? All right, we got the rematch

405
00:18:22,136 --> 00:18:23,056
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty nine.

406
00:18:23,096 --> 00:18:25,535
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is obviously they didn't hand it to

407
00:18:25,576 --> 00:18:28,936
Speaker 2: Marshawn lyn Seattle. Who you got Malcolm Butler steps in

408
00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:32,735
Speaker 2: front interception, Big deal, right, But where does that rank

409
00:18:32,776 --> 00:18:36,296
Speaker 2: among the most memorable single plays in Super Bowl history?

410
00:18:36,336 --> 00:18:39,535
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a few. David Tyree catch

411
00:18:39,735 --> 00:18:41,535
Speaker 2: I was there for that. I was there that one too,

412
00:18:41,776 --> 00:18:42,016
Speaker 2: is it?

413
00:18:42,096 --> 00:18:46,416
Speaker 1: Is it Indianapolis, Miami? No, that was the one in Arizona.

414
00:18:46,495 --> 00:18:49,816
Speaker 1: Remember I wasn't there the Giants. Yeah, that one year.

415
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:51,616
Speaker 1: I just feel like I was there because you've talked

416
00:18:51,616 --> 00:18:53,856
Speaker 1: about it and you've hurt so much that I felt that.

417
00:18:54,016 --> 00:18:55,656
Speaker 1: I still I can't believe he caught that ball. Yeah,

418
00:18:55,656 --> 00:18:58,616
Speaker 1: you're right, but there were multiple plays after that. Plexico

419
00:18:58,656 --> 00:19:00,255
Speaker 1: Buris was on the slug of the slant.

420
00:19:00,256 --> 00:19:02,776
Speaker 2: Go, yeah, that's the play. But that was the play

421
00:19:02,896 --> 00:19:04,576
Speaker 2: one handed over Rodney Harrison.

422
00:19:05,136 --> 00:19:08,455
Speaker 1: I'm like, there were plays after Bartman jumped in and

423
00:19:08,536 --> 00:19:10,936
Speaker 1: hit the ball in Chicago, but that happened, but that

424
00:19:11,056 --> 00:19:12,975
Speaker 1: was the play. Yeah, yeah, give me some Okay.

425
00:19:13,056 --> 00:19:16,416
Speaker 2: San Antonio Holmes toe tap versus the Cardinals. I mean

426
00:19:16,416 --> 00:19:18,295
Speaker 2: to throw itself by Big Ben on that play to

427
00:19:18,296 --> 00:19:21,455
Speaker 2: get it and thread it over that defender right there,

428
00:19:21,536 --> 00:19:23,376
Speaker 2: there was no other room and to just.

429
00:19:23,416 --> 00:19:27,295
Speaker 1: Catch it solid double toe tap. That's a game winner, Okay.

430
00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:31,496
Speaker 2: Philly Special is always a memorable play against the Patriots,

431
00:19:31,856 --> 00:19:36,735
Speaker 2: the double reverse throw to fold in the end zone.

432
00:19:37,136 --> 00:19:38,736
Speaker 1: No, you're not feeling that one. That one. I can't

433
00:19:38,735 --> 00:19:40,856
Speaker 1: remember exactly where I was sitting the other ones. I

434
00:19:40,896 --> 00:19:43,495
Speaker 1: can visualize exactly where I was sitting when the place happened.

435
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:46,336
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably because No, I couldn't say that is

436
00:19:46,376 --> 00:19:47,936
Speaker 2: because you had too many pops at that point in

437
00:19:47,975 --> 00:19:48,176
Speaker 2: the game.

438
00:19:48,256 --> 00:19:50,535
Speaker 1: Yeah. None. No, I've had had no pops. No, I

439
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:53,976
Speaker 1: literally had pops. Had too many.

440
00:19:54,576 --> 00:19:57,816
Speaker 2: You're to to cafeing death, all right, John Elway, helicopter

441
00:19:57,896 --> 00:19:58,856
Speaker 2: spin was pretty bad.

442
00:19:59,296 --> 00:20:01,775
Speaker 1: I think at the time. I've seen that as a clip.

443
00:20:02,016 --> 00:20:06,536
Speaker 1: Was that against the Packers? Against the Packers goes Jesseevia, Arkansas.

444
00:20:06,616 --> 00:20:09,055
Speaker 1: Listen to the story someone had put. There was like

445
00:20:09,136 --> 00:20:12,575
Speaker 1: fourteen of us there in Jessville, Arkansas, and we were

446
00:20:12,576 --> 00:20:14,295
Speaker 1: having a Super Bowl party. Wasn't at my house, but

447
00:20:14,336 --> 00:20:18,656
Speaker 1: someone had put whether it was something poop oh xlax

448
00:20:18,735 --> 00:20:20,056
Speaker 1: or something like that, they put it in the cheese

449
00:20:20,056 --> 00:20:22,095
Speaker 1: dip as a joke. Why would they do that? And

450
00:20:22,136 --> 00:20:25,056
Speaker 1: I never ate the cheese. I never ate it. Luckily,

451
00:20:25,136 --> 00:20:28,296
Speaker 1: I love kso and for some reason I didn't touch it.

452
00:20:28,616 --> 00:20:31,336
Speaker 1: But during the game, everybody kept going to the bathroom

453
00:20:31,416 --> 00:20:34,776
Speaker 1: and nobody knew. And still the person hasn't admitted who

454
00:20:34,816 --> 00:20:36,535
Speaker 1: did it. But that was the game. That's what I

455
00:20:36,536 --> 00:20:38,856
Speaker 1: remember from that game, what a good friend, what like,

456
00:20:38,936 --> 00:20:42,096
Speaker 1: we're having a Super Bowl party. We're gonna and the

457
00:20:42,136 --> 00:20:45,136
Speaker 1: funniest part about it is we're gonna make everybody pants

458
00:20:45,296 --> 00:20:47,136
Speaker 1: and have diarrhea throughout the game and won't be able

459
00:20:47,176 --> 00:20:50,296
Speaker 1: to watch it. Man, I would if I found out,

460
00:20:50,495 --> 00:20:52,496
Speaker 1: I would probably beat the hell up. I think that's

461
00:20:52,576 --> 00:20:55,136
Speaker 1: why eventually that person whomever did it never said anything

462
00:20:55,176 --> 00:20:56,656
Speaker 1: about it, because I went from people thinking it was

463
00:20:56,696 --> 00:20:59,975
Speaker 1: funny to once it was real, someone has messed with

464
00:21:00,016 --> 00:21:03,376
Speaker 1: some of the food. People were so mad they were

465
00:21:03,416 --> 00:21:06,056
Speaker 1: going to beat up who never did it. Oh yeah,

466
00:21:06,215 --> 00:21:08,296
Speaker 1: that was brutal. So I know where I was that night,

467
00:21:08,495 --> 00:21:08,896
Speaker 1: all right.

468
00:21:09,215 --> 00:21:13,856
Speaker 2: Last one Julian Edelman the catch against Atlanta where it's

469
00:21:13,856 --> 00:21:16,656
Speaker 2: got bubbled up, boom, one handed brings it in. It

470
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:17,416
Speaker 2: was the comeback.

471
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:20,015
Speaker 1: He gave me some good options there. I'm going to

472
00:21:20,096 --> 00:21:23,495
Speaker 1: go still the Tyree catch because not only do I

473
00:21:23,536 --> 00:21:27,576
Speaker 1: remember it, that's you could show me a still shot

474
00:21:28,016 --> 00:21:31,535
Speaker 1: of that exact moment, and I think everyone would know

475
00:21:31,616 --> 00:21:33,136
Speaker 1: exact man, and you were there.

476
00:21:33,735 --> 00:21:36,896
Speaker 2: Well. The lead up to that too was Eli has

477
00:21:36,936 --> 00:21:39,775
Speaker 2: the ball and it's I think it's third or fourth

478
00:21:39,776 --> 00:21:42,896
Speaker 2: and ten, something like that, and he's in the grass

479
00:21:42,936 --> 00:21:46,856
Speaker 2: of Richard Seymour and somebody else, and I thought they

480
00:21:46,896 --> 00:21:48,455
Speaker 2: were going to blow the whistle dead for a sack.

481
00:21:48,536 --> 00:21:51,136
Speaker 2: He somehow gets out of it. He's back pedaling, throws

482
00:21:51,215 --> 00:21:53,136
Speaker 2: up a prayer. It's a Hail Mary, is what it is.

483
00:21:53,296 --> 00:21:55,616
Speaker 1: It's a better version of the Caleb Williams throw in

484
00:21:55,696 --> 00:21:57,495
Speaker 1: Chicago in the corner. Yeah, you know, when he just

485
00:21:57,576 --> 00:22:00,096
Speaker 1: chunks it running backward. This was just heavier because of

486
00:22:00,096 --> 00:22:01,856
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah. It was the Super Bowl in

487
00:22:01,856 --> 00:22:04,215
Speaker 1: the biggest moment, in the biggest part of the crazier catch.

488
00:22:04,376 --> 00:22:07,896
Speaker 2: Crazier catch, I mean, and he didn't even have crazy

489
00:22:07,896 --> 00:22:10,295
Speaker 2: stats that year. He wasn't even a featured wide receiver

490
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:13,816
Speaker 2: on that team. So that's what makes it more special.

491
00:22:13,856 --> 00:22:16,096
Speaker 2: So I guess you go.

492
00:22:16,136 --> 00:22:17,535
Speaker 1: With that one, even though you had to watch it

493
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:18,256
Speaker 1: with your own eyeballs.

494
00:22:18,336 --> 00:22:20,455
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, I think all of these are amazing

495
00:22:20,975 --> 00:22:23,376
Speaker 2: moments in Super Bowl history, but that one goes down

496
00:22:23,376 --> 00:22:25,336
Speaker 2: for me, especially because it's so near and dear to

497
00:22:25,376 --> 00:22:25,776
Speaker 2: my heart.

498
00:22:26,536 --> 00:22:29,376
Speaker 1: It's funny that I feel like I was at the game,

499
00:22:29,416 --> 00:22:31,296
Speaker 1: but only because we've talked about it, and you've talked

500
00:22:31,296 --> 00:22:33,296
Speaker 1: about being there. I think I felt it through you. Yeah,

501
00:22:33,495 --> 00:22:35,176
Speaker 1: I mean it's one of those things. Can you feel

502
00:22:35,176 --> 00:22:40,896
Speaker 1: me now? I went to Chick fil A before we

503
00:22:41,576 --> 00:22:43,736
Speaker 1: came to do this, and we had an eye storm

504
00:22:43,816 --> 00:22:45,936
Speaker 1: where we live in Nashville, and it's it's unlike any

505
00:22:45,936 --> 00:22:49,176
Speaker 1: storm I've ever seen. I've been through big snowstorms, I've

506
00:22:49,176 --> 00:22:51,576
Speaker 1: been through snow with ice. I've been in New York

507
00:22:51,616 --> 00:22:54,176
Speaker 1: for like two feet a snow. I've had enough weather

508
00:22:54,656 --> 00:22:57,056
Speaker 1: experiences in my life to not just be like, oh

509
00:22:57,096 --> 00:22:59,656
Speaker 1: my god, it's crazy. Just because I live in the South.

510
00:23:01,056 --> 00:23:04,336
Speaker 1: This ice storm with half an inch of ice, ripped trees,

511
00:23:05,495 --> 00:23:09,136
Speaker 1: rooted them in my yard. Yes, me too, massage trees

512
00:23:09,176 --> 00:23:11,336
Speaker 1: fell in streets on top of power lines. Power was

513
00:23:11,376 --> 00:23:13,376
Speaker 1: out for days and days and days here. So all

514
00:23:13,455 --> 00:23:15,856
Speaker 1: that to say, Chick fil A was closed for two days,

515
00:23:15,856 --> 00:23:18,335
Speaker 1: and Chick fil A never closes unless it's Sunday. So

516
00:23:18,376 --> 00:23:20,656
Speaker 1: today they finally reopened, and I was coming to work

517
00:23:20,656 --> 00:23:22,575
Speaker 1: over here. So I go by and I pull in

518
00:23:22,616 --> 00:23:24,255
Speaker 1: and by the way, this Chick fil A is is

519
00:23:24,296 --> 00:23:26,735
Speaker 1: bumping so hard around twelve o'clock. The cars are in

520
00:23:26,735 --> 00:23:29,455
Speaker 1: the street all the time. It's wrapped into so you

521
00:23:29,495 --> 00:23:30,976
Speaker 1: got to even get in the other lanes to get by.

522
00:23:31,176 --> 00:23:32,856
Speaker 1: If you're on the right lane where you pull in

523
00:23:32,856 --> 00:23:35,215
Speaker 1: a Chick fil A, you're just sitting there. So I

524
00:23:35,256 --> 00:23:37,496
Speaker 1: go through, and this one you have to wrap around

525
00:23:37,536 --> 00:23:38,896
Speaker 1: the entire Chick fil A to even get in the

526
00:23:38,936 --> 00:23:41,095
Speaker 1: lane to go around. And so it's fine because Chick

527
00:23:41,096 --> 00:23:42,616
Speaker 1: fil A. I will say, I must say some good things,

528
00:23:42,616 --> 00:23:44,975
Speaker 1: some bad things, and this is not a commercial, but

529
00:23:45,016 --> 00:23:46,896
Speaker 1: the good thing is and I think you could probably

530
00:23:46,936 --> 00:23:49,576
Speaker 1: speak to this as well. It's efficient. It doesn't matter

531
00:23:49,656 --> 00:23:52,616
Speaker 1: how long the line is. They move people through. Yeah.

532
00:23:52,656 --> 00:23:54,416
Speaker 2: I don't know who's cooking the chicken back there, but

533
00:23:54,495 --> 00:23:57,096
Speaker 2: they get that chicken cook. They get the chicken ready

534
00:23:57,376 --> 00:24:00,256
Speaker 2: on your sandwich. The cars are zippering in and out

535
00:24:00,296 --> 00:24:01,696
Speaker 2: perfectly like you're in two lines.

536
00:24:02,016 --> 00:24:08,735
Speaker 1: They merge, merge. Yeah, yeah, the zippers just grab each side. Yeah,

537
00:24:08,816 --> 00:24:11,815
Speaker 1: they merge you. And they're like, Bobby, yes, sir, can

538
00:24:11,975 --> 00:24:14,296
Speaker 1: me the food. I'm out now. I want to shout

539
00:24:14,336 --> 00:24:19,855
Speaker 1: out because extremely efficient. Where I was lawyertated one. I

540
00:24:19,975 --> 00:24:23,575
Speaker 1: just wish the well the person needs to wear, you know,

541
00:24:23,616 --> 00:24:26,296
Speaker 1: back in like the twenties that'd wear those big sandwich

542
00:24:26,296 --> 00:24:29,096
Speaker 1: board signs. I'm not asking for that, but around their

543
00:24:29,096 --> 00:24:30,096
Speaker 1: neck that should have a little menu.

544
00:24:30,455 --> 00:24:33,735
Speaker 2: Well they also have like the actual menu that with

545
00:24:33,816 --> 00:24:36,295
Speaker 2: the thing that they're dialing in to you. They walk

546
00:24:36,376 --> 00:24:39,775
Speaker 2: up to the car and go no, oh, they make

547
00:24:39,816 --> 00:24:41,616
Speaker 2: you put your card on it. No, what's a beat?

548
00:24:41,656 --> 00:24:43,656
Speaker 1: Now? You just do that? No, it wasn't. It was

549
00:24:43,696 --> 00:24:45,856
Speaker 1: a little handheld pad. So he's like, what would you like?

550
00:24:46,056 --> 00:24:47,735
Speaker 1: And I kind of know my way around a Chick

551
00:24:47,776 --> 00:24:50,176
Speaker 1: fil A, but i'd like to see just in case

552
00:24:50,215 --> 00:24:52,096
Speaker 1: I have new thoughts. Do you want the chicken or

553
00:24:52,136 --> 00:24:55,136
Speaker 1: the chicken? You should be that's a fair question. Yeah,

554
00:24:55,136 --> 00:24:57,216
Speaker 1: And I said I'll take the I'll take the five

555
00:24:57,215 --> 00:25:00,455
Speaker 1: strips and he's like, oh, we can't do that. You

556
00:25:00,495 --> 00:25:04,856
Speaker 1: had the strips, No, we only have four four sex probably.

557
00:25:05,455 --> 00:25:08,056
Speaker 1: I was like, i'll take the most one. I'll take

558
00:25:08,056 --> 00:25:10,416
Speaker 1: the most one. And he's like, okay, we'll put you down.

559
00:25:10,416 --> 00:25:12,055
Speaker 1: I think it was four, that's what they had here,

560
00:25:12,176 --> 00:25:15,055
Speaker 1: the most. And I said, I need honey mustard. I

561
00:25:15,056 --> 00:25:16,696
Speaker 1: can't eat it with a honey mustard. I canna eat

562
00:25:16,735 --> 00:25:19,455
Speaker 1: dry chicken. So please give me two packs of honey mustard,

563
00:25:19,656 --> 00:25:21,376
Speaker 1: No problem. Do you have the meal with that? I do?

564
00:25:21,416 --> 00:25:23,176
Speaker 1: I got the waffle fries. You got the drink, and

565
00:25:23,256 --> 00:25:24,936
Speaker 1: my new drink at Chick fil A is sweet tea

566
00:25:24,975 --> 00:25:29,696
Speaker 1: with strawberry. Then you need to try that. It's great,

567
00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:33,055
Speaker 1: you'll love it. Drive around, get it? No honey, no

568
00:25:33,096 --> 00:25:37,096
Speaker 1: honey mustard. Did you park? No? Because I got hot

569
00:25:37,136 --> 00:25:39,376
Speaker 1: up in it being so busy. I thought, this is

570
00:25:39,376 --> 00:25:40,816
Speaker 1: the one time I'm not gonna look at my bag

571
00:25:41,256 --> 00:25:43,016
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna just drive out. And I got here

572
00:25:43,056 --> 00:25:45,936
Speaker 1: to eat. There was no honey mustard. Minor breakdown. I

573
00:25:45,936 --> 00:25:48,136
Speaker 1: had a minor breakdown. It's so pretty juicy's chicken, though

574
00:25:49,056 --> 00:25:51,215
Speaker 1: I had to dip it in ketchup. Oh dude, that

575
00:25:51,376 --> 00:25:53,576
Speaker 1: no way. I'm not doing Chick fil A and ketchup.

576
00:25:53,616 --> 00:25:56,255
Speaker 1: You have to or you eat it dry. It's not

577
00:25:56,336 --> 00:25:58,336
Speaker 1: that dry. You just got it. It doesn't matter. It's

578
00:25:58,376 --> 00:26:02,056
Speaker 1: just dry. Without wet, it's dry, all right. Fine, A

579
00:26:02,096 --> 00:26:06,296
Speaker 1: wise man once said, without wet, it's dry. And you weren't.

580
00:26:06,416 --> 00:26:09,176
Speaker 1: You weren't going for that. No, So that was my

581
00:26:09,256 --> 00:26:11,255
Speaker 1: Chick fil A experience coming in over here. What's your

582
00:26:11,296 --> 00:26:12,096
Speaker 1: favorite fast food?

583
00:26:12,136 --> 00:26:15,055
Speaker 2: You think if you had to go fast food, what

584
00:26:15,096 --> 00:26:15,975
Speaker 2: would be your fast food?

585
00:26:16,016 --> 00:26:17,815
Speaker 1: I'm going to answer something that some people are going

586
00:26:17,896 --> 00:26:19,856
Speaker 1: to say that's not fair, but it's going to be

587
00:26:19,936 --> 00:26:25,096
Speaker 1: Chipotle because fast food. It's fast enough. But I hate

588
00:26:25,136 --> 00:26:27,096
Speaker 1: to put it in that category of fast food because

589
00:26:27,136 --> 00:26:30,336
Speaker 1: Chipotle is quality like Chick fil a. Chiole's quality food.

590
00:26:30,696 --> 00:26:33,336
Speaker 1: They just can move it pretty fast. So I think

591
00:26:34,616 --> 00:26:38,016
Speaker 1: it's Chipotle Chick fil A. And if you're going traditional,

592
00:26:38,696 --> 00:26:43,535
Speaker 1: I love Sonic. My kids love I love Sonic, but

593
00:26:43,616 --> 00:26:46,775
Speaker 1: they all like scratch that itch. Yeah, I need to

594
00:26:46,816 --> 00:26:50,055
Speaker 1: be itching for the specific thing. But I can eat

595
00:26:50,096 --> 00:26:52,576
Speaker 1: Chipotle five times, five nights a week and still I.

596
00:26:52,495 --> 00:26:55,136
Speaker 2: Went to Chipotle today and they were out of chicken

597
00:26:55,576 --> 00:26:58,215
Speaker 2: and steak because everybody story, I'm trying to get a storm.

598
00:26:58,455 --> 00:27:02,215
Speaker 2: So they had barbicoa or carnitas, and I got the barbicoa.

599
00:27:02,296 --> 00:27:04,335
Speaker 2: But sometimes when you're at the tail end of that

600
00:27:04,376 --> 00:27:07,215
Speaker 2: pot and they just grab that one chunk that was

601
00:27:07,616 --> 00:27:10,495
Speaker 2: not shreaded yet, it's just a chunk of meat, and

602
00:27:10,536 --> 00:27:14,176
Speaker 2: I was like, hmm, yeah, not my best experience there.

603
00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,136
Speaker 2: But all in all, I'd say Chick fil A is

604
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:16,976
Speaker 2: a pretty solid one.

605
00:27:17,096 --> 00:27:19,975
Speaker 1: I got over Heroes, washing my hands as I often

606
00:27:20,016 --> 00:27:21,896
Speaker 1: do before I eat. For the record, do you all

607
00:27:21,936 --> 00:27:26,696
Speaker 1: the time bighnd washing. No, not all. There's a different

608
00:27:26,735 --> 00:27:28,896
Speaker 1: kind of bac carey. Yet, don't put that in people's minds.

609
00:27:28,896 --> 00:27:31,656
Speaker 1: The should just be touchinglicking their fingers, lick your fingers.

610
00:27:32,136 --> 00:27:36,296
Speaker 1: So I the building that we shoot podcast stuff and

611
00:27:36,296 --> 00:27:38,376
Speaker 1: we shoot video stuff. I do a Netflix show from here,

612
00:27:38,576 --> 00:27:40,855
Speaker 1: and so own the building. You own the studio, thank you.

613
00:27:41,455 --> 00:27:44,336
Speaker 1: And during the storm we lost power, so for one

614
00:27:44,376 --> 00:27:46,056
Speaker 1: of the nights we had to come sleep here because

615
00:27:46,096 --> 00:27:47,696
Speaker 1: it was the only place with heat. And it was

616
00:27:47,735 --> 00:27:49,936
Speaker 1: the first time that I'd like lived up here. And

617
00:27:49,975 --> 00:27:52,215
Speaker 1: I learned how to fix a hot water heater. Now,

618
00:27:52,576 --> 00:27:54,735
Speaker 1: now did you google it? No, But I'm going to

619
00:27:54,776 --> 00:27:56,896
Speaker 1: tell you the best thing to do. Now, chetch, take

620
00:27:56,896 --> 00:27:58,775
Speaker 1: a picture of it, of anything, if you take a

621
00:27:58,776 --> 00:28:01,215
Speaker 1: picture of anything in the world. I fixed like three things.

622
00:28:01,336 --> 00:28:03,296
Speaker 1: I fixed the garage. The other day, I fixed a

623
00:28:03,336 --> 00:28:06,735
Speaker 1: hot water heater. I fixed something in my car. So

624
00:28:07,176 --> 00:28:09,896
Speaker 1: I took a pure of it and I said, hey,

625
00:28:09,975 --> 00:28:12,295
Speaker 1: is this working? And it goes well. That light is

626
00:28:12,296 --> 00:28:14,215
Speaker 1: not green, it's red. You need to turn it on,

627
00:28:14,336 --> 00:28:16,296
Speaker 1: reset it, open the box. I did the whole thing.

628
00:28:16,576 --> 00:28:18,015
Speaker 1: Shut it again. That's amazing.

629
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:20,456
Speaker 2: Yeah, right before break, you had to go to the restroom.

630
00:28:20,576 --> 00:28:23,095
Speaker 2: He said, I got to get my water. So did

631
00:28:23,136 --> 00:28:24,456
Speaker 2: you go up and take a picture and be like.

632
00:28:24,576 --> 00:28:25,776
Speaker 1: Well, I knew how to do it from the picture

633
00:28:25,816 --> 00:28:28,535
Speaker 1: last time because it's new, so I reset it. But

634
00:28:28,576 --> 00:28:31,616
Speaker 1: here's the question I have for you in your mind,

635
00:28:32,016 --> 00:28:33,176
Speaker 1: and you can close your eyes if you want to.

636
00:28:33,215 --> 00:28:36,376
Speaker 1: But there's a sink. Okay, there's two handles. There's the

637
00:28:36,455 --> 00:28:38,776
Speaker 1: sink that puts the water out, like the curvy the

638
00:28:38,776 --> 00:28:40,856
Speaker 1: head what do you call that, the spout the neck? Yeah,

639
00:28:41,296 --> 00:28:43,576
Speaker 1: go with that. You with me. There's a left and

640
00:28:43,616 --> 00:28:46,536
Speaker 1: a right handle. Which one's hot if you're looking at it,

641
00:28:46,696 --> 00:28:48,416
Speaker 1: if you're looking at it, which one's supposed to be hot,

642
00:28:48,416 --> 00:28:51,256
Speaker 1: which one's cold? The one on the left is hot hot,

643
00:28:51,696 --> 00:28:53,456
Speaker 1: the one on the right is cold. That's why I thought, too,

644
00:28:53,656 --> 00:28:56,656
Speaker 1: I think the person who plumbed this place, you're right, right,

645
00:28:56,816 --> 00:28:59,496
Speaker 1: they did right, it's hot in this bathroom. Really, Yeah,

646
00:28:59,536 --> 00:29:00,896
Speaker 1: that's off, I thought.

647
00:29:00,936 --> 00:29:04,856
Speaker 2: I always have my left if you're facing it, the

648
00:29:04,936 --> 00:29:07,056
Speaker 2: left is the right is cold?

649
00:29:07,216 --> 00:29:09,136
Speaker 1: Like you said, so, I thought so too. You could

650
00:29:09,216 --> 00:29:11,136
Speaker 1: chat GPT that now and switch those wires right up?

651
00:29:11,136 --> 00:29:12,616
Speaker 1: Did underneath? I didn't take a picture of the sink

652
00:29:12,616 --> 00:29:14,096
Speaker 1: I've taken a picture of everything else and put on

653
00:29:14,136 --> 00:29:16,296
Speaker 1: my phone. I did not take a picture of my sink.

654
00:29:16,696 --> 00:29:18,656
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what we did the last couple of days.

655
00:29:18,656 --> 00:29:20,336
Speaker 1: You guys lost power. We lost power.

656
00:29:20,336 --> 00:29:22,696
Speaker 2: We lost power on Sunday morning, probably around eight o'clock

657
00:29:22,776 --> 00:29:25,815
Speaker 2: or so. So then that was the day that it

658
00:29:26,216 --> 00:29:28,296
Speaker 2: kind of was like that sleet early on. So then

659
00:29:28,376 --> 00:29:29,976
Speaker 2: things were Then it got real cold and it was

660
00:29:30,136 --> 00:29:31,936
Speaker 2: icing up. So the house was getting cold. It was

661
00:29:31,936 --> 00:29:34,496
Speaker 2: like in the forties, and so I was like, I

662
00:29:34,576 --> 00:29:37,776
Speaker 2: called down the street. There was a hotel in Franklin,

663
00:29:37,936 --> 00:29:39,896
Speaker 2: so I was able to call down there.

664
00:29:39,816 --> 00:29:40,376
Speaker 1: Get a room.

665
00:29:40,536 --> 00:29:43,016
Speaker 2: Bad Power, Bad Power was able to go down there,

666
00:29:43,056 --> 00:29:45,056
Speaker 2: took the dog with me. The pig and the chickens

667
00:29:45,056 --> 00:29:47,656
Speaker 2: had to survive the cold. Sorry, guys, but.

668
00:29:47,696 --> 00:29:49,736
Speaker 1: They have warm They have like a chicken house.

669
00:29:50,016 --> 00:29:51,976
Speaker 2: Yes, they got a house, but I mean, and then

670
00:29:52,016 --> 00:29:54,376
Speaker 2: the pig has this massive doghouse because it's a big

671
00:29:54,416 --> 00:29:56,815
Speaker 2: fat pig man, so it's gonna be fine. It's got

672
00:29:56,856 --> 00:30:00,056
Speaker 2: plenty of fat to survive these circumstances. But we went

673
00:30:00,096 --> 00:30:01,896
Speaker 2: down there, stayed and then I was just going home

674
00:30:01,936 --> 00:30:04,656
Speaker 2: to make sure the pipes weren't busted. Anything like that,

675
00:30:04,736 --> 00:30:07,136
Speaker 2: and check on the chickens and the pig, and all

676
00:30:07,136 --> 00:30:08,216
Speaker 2: of a sudden our lights came on.

677
00:30:08,296 --> 00:30:09,896
Speaker 1: We got super lucky while you were there.

678
00:30:09,976 --> 00:30:13,376
Speaker 2: Yeah, around eleven o'clock on Monday or so. So we

679
00:30:13,376 --> 00:30:15,936
Speaker 2: were able to come back just with one night in

680
00:30:15,976 --> 00:30:18,216
Speaker 2: the hotel where I've still got plenty of friends that

681
00:30:18,296 --> 00:30:19,416
Speaker 2: have no power too.

682
00:30:19,536 --> 00:30:22,056
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the ice storm is crazy. Like I said,

683
00:30:22,096 --> 00:30:24,696
Speaker 1: i've been, I haven't either. And when I say that

684
00:30:25,816 --> 00:30:29,056

Speaker 1: Shut up. This is this is crazy. This is hardcore eyes.

686
00:30:32,696 --> 00:30:35,256
Speaker 1: It doesn't even look like as bad as like a crazy.

687
00:30:35,336 --> 00:30:38,096
Speaker 2: It looks like the movie Frozen. I mean like everything,

688
00:30:38,576 --> 00:30:42,456
Speaker 2: every tree it's beautiful. Yeah, but most of those branches

Speaker 1: do you mere struggling for nothing? He goes, yeah, I'm stuck.

710
00:31:39,296 --> 00:31:41,416
Speaker 1: So I get beside and try to push while he

00:31:41,456 --> 00:31:45,216
Speaker 1: hits the gas and he's not able to go right.

712
00:31:46,136 --> 00:31:50,656

00:31:58,216 --> 00:31:59,256
Speaker 1: I had to get in the truck, and she had

716
00:31:59,296 --> 00:32:00,616
Speaker 1: to get in the truck and drive. She got in

717
00:32:00,656 --> 00:32:02,936
Speaker 1: his truck and drove, and we're both on the back

718
00:32:03,016 --> 00:32:05,336
Speaker 1: side and I couldn't get beside anymore because it was

719
00:32:05,336 --> 00:32:06,776
Speaker 1: a tree, and if I were to get smashed by

720
00:32:06,816 --> 00:32:09,696
Speaker 1: that tree, I'll be dead. And so look at this,

721
00:32:09,696 --> 00:32:12,536
Speaker 1: this is mine. This is how you go out being

722
00:32:12,536 --> 00:32:15,456
Speaker 1: a good Samaritan. Oh my gosh, that is I'm covered

723
00:32:15,456 --> 00:32:19,855
Speaker 1: in mud because the will kept you're throwing all. That's

724
00:32:19,896 --> 00:32:22,936
Speaker 1: how you know he's on social media. I haven't checked today. Okay,

725
00:32:22,936 --> 00:32:25,296
Speaker 1: I've got five kids home from now. I hear you

726
00:32:26,016 --> 00:32:26,496
Speaker 1: rough night.

727
00:32:26,816 --> 00:32:29,416
Speaker 2: That's a rough night? Was it because you thought you

728
00:32:29,416 --> 00:32:31,736
Speaker 2: could fix his car? Because you've been doing all the handiwork.

729
00:32:31,896 --> 00:32:34,896
Speaker 2: We got it out of there, though, did congratulations? That's

730
00:32:34,896 --> 00:32:38,376
Speaker 2: a manly covered in a manly week for you.

731
00:32:38,536 --> 00:32:40,776
Speaker 1: It is. It's been a cold week. There were times

732
00:32:40,816 --> 00:32:42,896
Speaker 1: I probably wasn't that manly. Was like, hey, i'm cold,

733
00:32:43,376 --> 00:32:45,456
Speaker 1: you have a blanket? It was I mean, you stayed

734
00:32:45,496 --> 00:32:47,816
Speaker 1: in your house though, we did, yeah, almost the whole time.

735
00:32:47,816 --> 00:32:51,696
Speaker 1: What'd you do that for? Because we had dogs? And

736
00:32:51,896 --> 00:32:53,456
Speaker 1: she was like, I think we can just sit by

737
00:32:53,456 --> 00:32:56,416
Speaker 1: a fireplace and that didn't work very well. She's pregnant,

738
00:32:56,416 --> 00:32:59,696
Speaker 1: She's like, this sucks. She's probably radiating heat anyway a

739
00:32:59,696 --> 00:33:02,136
Speaker 1: little more. She's living warmer. Yeah, so she kind of

740
00:33:02,176 --> 00:33:05,136
Speaker 1: liked it. I don't know if i'd say that, because

741
00:33:05,176 --> 00:33:07,336
Speaker 1: she was wildly uncomfortable. But did you guys stock up

742
00:33:07,376 --> 00:33:11,656
Speaker 1: on food beforehand or no? Yes, we definitely had enough food,

743
00:33:12,416 --> 00:33:14,096
Speaker 1: like cooked, and then we brought a bunch over here.

744
00:33:14,096 --> 00:33:16,496
Speaker 1: But the thing is if you didn't bring food or

745
00:33:16,496 --> 00:33:18,256
Speaker 1: if you didn't o refrigerator went out, so a lot

746
00:33:18,296 --> 00:33:20,776
Speaker 1: of it spoiled, right, But we just put it outside.

747
00:33:20,856 --> 00:33:22,376
Speaker 1: We had well, we did that too, but we ate

748
00:33:22,416 --> 00:33:24,256
Speaker 1: all that. It was like in the movies when you

749
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:26,136
Speaker 1: go in with stuff, if you buy stuff earlier, you

750
00:33:26,136 --> 00:33:27,896
Speaker 1: sneak in with stuff. You eat it all before the

751
00:33:27,896 --> 00:33:30,216
Speaker 1: movie starts. So like ice Storm coming tomorrow, I'm eating

752
00:33:30,216 --> 00:33:31,576
Speaker 1: all the everything we had bought.

753
00:33:31,736 --> 00:33:33,696
Speaker 2: You know, we have rations for like another two weeks.

754
00:33:33,736 --> 00:33:35,456
Speaker 2: I'm like, honey, the storm said it was only in

755
00:33:35,456 --> 00:33:38,216
Speaker 2: the last like three days. I went to five different

756
00:33:38,216 --> 00:33:39,816
Speaker 2: stores and stocked up on this side and the other.

757
00:33:39,856 --> 00:33:41,616
Speaker 2: We had so much food it's absurd.

758
00:33:42,296 --> 00:33:45,936
Speaker 1: We're going to come back. Rodrigo blanket ship kicker that

759
00:33:45,976 --> 00:33:48,696

760
00:33:48,696 --> 00:33:51,976
Speaker 1: helmet and have the dark room glasses underneath. We're going

761
00:33:52,016 --> 00:33:54,216
Speaker 1: to talk with him. He is still kicking, but he's

762
00:33:54,216 --> 00:33:57,296
Speaker 1: got a really interching story about him being a walk

763
00:33:57,336 --> 00:33:59,936
Speaker 1: on at Georgia, him being an undrafted free agent into

764
00:33:59,936 --> 00:34:01,816
Speaker 1: the NFL, and then where he is now and he's

765
00:34:01,816 --> 00:34:04,576
Speaker 1: trying to get back in the league. But really interesting guy.

766
00:34:04,936 --> 00:34:22,616
Speaker 1: We'll talk damn next. All right, let's bring on Rodrigo.

767

770
00:34:32,736 --> 00:34:35,336
Speaker 1: you decide to commit to the glasses, because that means

771
00:34:35,376 --> 00:34:37,216
Speaker 1: everybody's going to know you, especially in a helmet.

772
00:34:38,016 --> 00:34:38,256
Speaker 3: Yeah.

773
00:34:38,296 --> 00:34:40,216
Speaker 6: I think that I first started to wear glasses in

774
00:34:40,336 --> 00:34:43,536
Speaker 6: middle school. It's probably around seventh grade. Started to notice

775
00:34:43,536 --> 00:34:46,096
Speaker 6: that my eyesight wasn't great, especially trying to play soccer

776
00:34:46,136 --> 00:34:48,136
Speaker 6: and football. You need to see stuff from you know,

777
00:34:48,216 --> 00:34:50,656
Speaker 6: pretty good distance, and so that's when I started to

778
00:34:50,656 --> 00:34:53,856
Speaker 6: wear the glasses. Started to wear the Rex specs specifically

779
00:34:53,856 --> 00:34:57,216
Speaker 6: for high school basketball, switching over from you know, the

780
00:34:57,376 --> 00:34:59,776
Speaker 6: just the traditional glasses. I wore the rexspecs for basketball

781
00:34:59,776 --> 00:35:01,376
Speaker 6: in high school, and then when I got to University

782
00:35:01,376 --> 00:35:03,416
Speaker 6: of Georgia, it was just part of the look, and

783
00:35:03,416 --> 00:35:04,536
Speaker 6: so I just continued with it.

784
00:35:04,576 --> 00:35:06,456
Speaker 3: And now it's come part of the image.

785
00:35:06,696 --> 00:35:10,256
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rodrigo, So you just said you played soccer in

786
00:35:10,416 --> 00:35:13,896
Speaker 1: high school, right, was that something that influenced you to

787
00:35:13,936 --> 00:35:17,216
Speaker 1: go and be a placekicker when you when it came

788
00:35:17,256 --> 00:35:18,336
Speaker 1: to football season.

789
00:35:18,696 --> 00:35:20,016
Speaker 3: It definitely was a big help.

790
00:35:20,456 --> 00:35:22,696
Speaker 6: I started off playing soccer probably as soon as I

791
00:35:22,696 --> 00:35:24,616
Speaker 6: could walk, maybe I don't know, three years old, four

792
00:35:24,736 --> 00:35:26,856
Speaker 6: years old. There was a soccer ball on my feed,

793
00:35:26,936 --> 00:35:29,096
Speaker 6: and soccer was my first love. I played it through

794
00:35:29,136 --> 00:35:31,696
Speaker 6: my senior year of high school. But I think I realized,

795
00:35:31,776 --> 00:35:34,496
Speaker 6: you know, early on, once I started to kick, that

796
00:35:34,856 --> 00:35:36,576
Speaker 6: you know, football was probably going to be the way

797
00:35:36,576 --> 00:35:38,176
Speaker 6: to go. There was going to be, you know, more

798
00:35:38,216 --> 00:35:41,216
Speaker 6: opportunities for me on the football side. But coming from

799
00:35:41,216 --> 00:35:43,696
Speaker 6: a soccer background that was very helpful. Just allows you

800
00:35:43,736 --> 00:35:45,776
Speaker 6: to really hit the ground running and helps you to

801
00:35:45,816 --> 00:35:48,976
Speaker 6: pick up the mechanics of kicking very quickly. So, you know,

802
00:35:49,056 --> 00:35:51,776
Speaker 6: I started to watch football with my dad. I think

803
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:53,416
Speaker 6: two thousand and six was the first year that I

804
00:35:53,456 --> 00:35:56,256
Speaker 6: watched football, was watching the Florida Gators. Unfortunately, I know

805
00:35:56,296 --> 00:35:57,736
Speaker 6: the dog fans are going to hate to hear that,

806
00:35:57,856 --> 00:36:00,416
Speaker 6: but I started watching Florida football and that's kind of

807
00:36:00,456 --> 00:36:02,776
Speaker 6: what made me fall in love with football, and you

808
00:36:02,776 --> 00:36:05,576
Speaker 6: know that really kind of expedited the kicking process to

809
00:36:05,576 --> 00:36:06,496
Speaker 6: get me where I am now.

810
00:36:07,056 --> 00:36:10,456
Speaker 1: So going from soccer to football, did you pick it

811
00:36:10,576 --> 00:36:13,536
Speaker 1: up pretty quickly? And then also, did you play any

812
00:36:13,576 --> 00:36:15,736
Speaker 1: other positions when you played football, because obviously you were

813
00:36:15,736 --> 00:36:18,416
Speaker 1: an athlete. You talked about paying basketball in soccer, so yeah,

814
00:36:18,496 --> 00:36:19,216
Speaker 1: talk me through that.

815
00:36:20,096 --> 00:36:23,416
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did play a couple of other positions.

816
00:36:23,456 --> 00:36:25,056
Speaker 3: In my time in high school.

817
00:36:25,176 --> 00:36:27,296
Speaker 6: I messed around with a little bit of wide receiver

818
00:36:27,896 --> 00:36:30,856
Speaker 6: one offseason. I was actually one of our backup quarterbacks

819
00:36:30,896 --> 00:36:34,136
Speaker 6: my senior year. Thankfully, we were never in a position

820
00:36:34,176 --> 00:36:37,136
Speaker 6: where they needed my services my senior year. You know,

821
00:36:37,176 --> 00:36:39,736
Speaker 6: otherwise we would have been in big trouble. But I

822
00:36:39,736 --> 00:36:41,256
Speaker 6: did do a little bit of receiver, did a little

823
00:36:41,256 --> 00:36:44,176
Speaker 6: bit of quarterback in high school. And yes, I did

824
00:36:44,216 --> 00:36:47,576
Speaker 6: pick up kicking very quickly, you know, from playing soccer

825
00:36:47,616 --> 00:36:49,136
Speaker 6: for such a long time. I think that I first

826
00:36:49,176 --> 00:36:52,536
Speaker 6: tried to kick a football the summer after fourth grade,

827
00:36:52,576 --> 00:36:54,616
Speaker 6: So somewhere between fourth and fifth grade, my dad took

828
00:36:54,656 --> 00:36:56,376
Speaker 6: me out to the practice field at my local high

829
00:36:56,376 --> 00:36:59,376
Speaker 6: school and he said, you know, hey, try and kick

830
00:36:59,456 --> 00:37:02,056
Speaker 6: this football like you kick your free kicks in soccer

831
00:37:02,096 --> 00:37:04,376
Speaker 6: and we'll see what happens. And the first one sailed

832
00:37:04,376 --> 00:37:07,335
Speaker 6: through the uprights with no instruction prior to that day,

833
00:37:07,736 --> 00:37:09,496
Speaker 6: and you know, I think we both really saw that

834
00:37:09,536 --> 00:37:12,336
Speaker 6: there was some potential there. And so the following summer,

835
00:37:12,376 --> 00:37:14,416
Speaker 6: I went to my first camp to start getting instruction

836
00:37:14,456 --> 00:37:16,376
Speaker 6: and I really took off from there. But yeah, the

837
00:37:16,616 --> 00:37:19,536
Speaker 6: soccer definitely helps you to have an expedited process when

838
00:37:19,576 --> 00:37:20,536
Speaker 6: you're trying to learn a kick.

839
00:37:20,936 --> 00:37:24,216
Speaker 1: So talk to me about why you chose Georgia because

840
00:37:24,256 --> 00:37:26,336
Speaker 1: you're a walk on at Georgia originally and earned a

841
00:37:26,336 --> 00:37:30,216
Speaker 1: scholarship obviously your second season, But just what went into

842
00:37:30,256 --> 00:37:32,136
Speaker 1: that and were you being recruited by anybody else?

843
00:37:32,776 --> 00:37:34,976
Speaker 6: Yes, I was being recruited by a few other schools,

844
00:37:35,216 --> 00:37:38,816
Speaker 6: mostly mid major programs. My first scholarship offer actually came

845
00:37:38,856 --> 00:37:42,256
Speaker 6: from University of Alabama, Birmingham, funny enough, and you know,

846
00:37:42,296 --> 00:37:44,456
Speaker 6: it was very fortunate to receive that offer, and that

847
00:37:44,496 --> 00:37:47,136
Speaker 6: really kind of allowed some other dominoes to fall where

848
00:37:47,136 --> 00:37:49,856
Speaker 6: some other programs started to offer me scholarships after that.

849
00:37:50,736 --> 00:37:52,376
Speaker 6: They were all, you know, kind of a similar tier

850
00:37:52,616 --> 00:37:55,256
Speaker 6: or you know, similar point in the college football hierarchy.

851
00:37:55,336 --> 00:37:58,056
Speaker 6: I guess you could say so. I had some scholarship

852
00:37:58,056 --> 00:38:01,056
Speaker 6: offers to some smaller programs, but ultimately the thing that

853
00:38:01,136 --> 00:38:03,776
Speaker 6: led me to University of Georgia outside of you know,

854
00:38:03,816 --> 00:38:05,896
Speaker 6: what I felt like was a good opportunity to play

855
00:38:06,256 --> 00:38:08,696
Speaker 6: was education. And I know that with the current state

856
00:38:08,736 --> 00:38:11,336
Speaker 6: of college football with NIL and with the transfer portal,

857
00:38:11,336 --> 00:38:13,736
Speaker 6: and with coaches moving all over the place, and you know,

858
00:38:13,816 --> 00:38:16,136
Speaker 6: money being thrown in kids' faces, I know that education

859
00:38:16,216 --> 00:38:18,936
Speaker 6: has become pretty low on the list of priorities that

860
00:38:18,976 --> 00:38:21,496
Speaker 6: guys are considering, but that was still my top priority.

861
00:38:21,496 --> 00:38:23,616
Speaker 6: I've always wanted to get into sports journalism and sports

862
00:38:23,616 --> 00:38:26,136
Speaker 6: broadcast whenever I get done with my playing career, and

863
00:38:26,376 --> 00:38:28,536
Speaker 6: University of Georgia has one of the best journalism schools

864
00:38:28,536 --> 00:38:31,056
Speaker 6: in the country in Grady College, and so that was

865
00:38:31,136 --> 00:38:32,896
Speaker 6: something that was always at the top of my list.

866
00:38:33,096 --> 00:38:35,296
Speaker 6: Outside of the University of Georgia, my next choice would

867
00:38:35,296 --> 00:38:37,736
Speaker 6: have been Mercer. I did have a full scholarship offer

868
00:38:37,736 --> 00:38:40,696
Speaker 6: from Mercer, but they also have a very renowned journalism

869
00:38:40,776 --> 00:38:43,616
Speaker 6: program and broadcast program, So you know, that was really

870
00:38:43,656 --> 00:38:46,336
Speaker 6: the reason that ended up going to University of Georgia.

871
00:38:46,576 --> 00:38:48,696
Speaker 6: Education was always at the top of my list. I

872
00:38:48,736 --> 00:38:50,416
Speaker 6: know that football is not going to last forever, and

873
00:38:50,456 --> 00:38:52,496
Speaker 6: I wanted to set myself up for success as best

874
00:38:52,536 --> 00:38:55,536
Speaker 6: as possible, and so ultimately it became University of Georgia.

875
00:38:56,176 --> 00:38:59,335
Speaker 1: Looking in hindsight, it looked like it was all pretty

876
00:38:59,336 --> 00:39:01,936
Speaker 1: easy because just looking at some of your awards, first

877
00:39:01,976 --> 00:39:05,296
Speaker 1: Team All SEC in twenty nineteen, you won the Guards Award,

878
00:39:05,416 --> 00:39:06,896
Speaker 1: but you said you went on as a walk on.

879
00:39:07,376 --> 00:39:09,536
Speaker 1: So how long until you got the starting job? And

880
00:39:09,896 --> 00:39:11,736
Speaker 1: what was that process like? The competition?

881
00:39:12,736 --> 00:39:15,696
Speaker 6: Yeah, So my first year was twenty fifteen, and that

882
00:39:15,776 --> 00:39:18,376
Speaker 6: was coach Mark Rick's last year as the head coach

883
00:39:18,376 --> 00:39:21,136
Speaker 6: at University of Georgia. And I knew from some of

884
00:39:21,176 --> 00:39:23,096
Speaker 6: the conversations that I had had with Coach Rick and

885
00:39:23,176 --> 00:39:26,136
Speaker 6: his staff as a high school recruit that that twenty

886
00:39:26,136 --> 00:39:28,896
Speaker 6: fifteen season, I was in all likelihood not going to play.

887
00:39:29,136 --> 00:39:32,376
Speaker 6: The incumbent kicker, Marshall Morgan, was a very good kicker,

888
00:39:32,936 --> 00:39:35,376
Speaker 6: very solid, you know, had done very well in his career,

889
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:38,096
Speaker 6: and he was still there when I got there as

890
00:39:38,136 --> 00:39:40,776
Speaker 6: a red shirt freshman in twenty fifteen, and so I

891
00:39:40,856 --> 00:39:42,936
Speaker 6: knew that season I probably was not going to play

892
00:39:42,976 --> 00:39:44,896
Speaker 6: because Marshall was going to finish up his senior year,

893
00:39:44,976 --> 00:39:46,896
Speaker 6: and he did a tremendous job for us in his

894
00:39:47,016 --> 00:39:49,576
Speaker 6: last year, and so really going into that twenty sixteen

895
00:39:49,616 --> 00:39:51,736
Speaker 6: season was when I felt like I would have the

896
00:39:51,736 --> 00:39:55,216
Speaker 6: first opportunity to potentially have the starting job. Now Coach

897
00:39:55,296 --> 00:39:57,696
Speaker 6: Rick ended up leaving for Miami at the end of

898
00:39:57,696 --> 00:40:00,456
Speaker 6: that first year, Coach Mark comes in and you know,

899
00:40:00,496 --> 00:40:02,376
Speaker 6: everyone is kind of starting from the ground zero with

900
00:40:02,416 --> 00:40:04,696
Speaker 6: the new coaching staff. You're learning names, and you're learning,

901
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:06,736
Speaker 6: you know, whatever one is about and all that stuff. So,

902
00:40:07,336 --> 00:40:09,256
Speaker 6: you know, we kind of start from ground zero. Was

903
00:40:09,256 --> 00:40:12,136
Speaker 6: in I was in a kicking competition over the course

904
00:40:12,176 --> 00:40:14,896
Speaker 6: of the summer with another kicker named William Ham, and

905
00:40:15,056 --> 00:40:17,416
Speaker 6: he actually ended up winning the starting field goal job

906
00:40:18,016 --> 00:40:20,496
Speaker 6: coming out of you know, summer training and preseason camp,

907
00:40:20,496 --> 00:40:22,336
Speaker 6: and so he started the season as our field goal

908
00:40:22,416 --> 00:40:25,616
Speaker 6: kicker and I was the kickoff only kicker for the

909
00:40:25,616 --> 00:40:27,976
Speaker 6: first three to four games of the season and then

910
00:40:27,976 --> 00:40:29,656
Speaker 6: I think it was around week four, We're going to

911
00:40:29,936 --> 00:40:32,496
Speaker 6: a road game against Ole Miss. That was my first

912
00:40:32,496 --> 00:40:34,816
Speaker 6: time as the starting field goal kicker. I had, you know,

913
00:40:34,896 --> 00:40:36,896
Speaker 6: I had won the job. At that point, Ham was

914
00:40:36,936 --> 00:40:39,056
Speaker 6: not doing so well and in the first few games

915
00:40:39,056 --> 00:40:42,256
Speaker 6: of the season. I was practicing really well, kicking really

916
00:40:42,256 --> 00:40:44,376
Speaker 6: well at a high level during practice, and so ultimately

917
00:40:44,416 --> 00:40:47,256
Speaker 6: he got the starting job around Week four. Didn't have

918
00:40:47,376 --> 00:40:50,296
Speaker 6: the best start. Actually, I missed my first ever career

919
00:40:50,336 --> 00:40:53,176
Speaker 6: field goal attempt against Ole Miss and ended up getting

920
00:40:53,176 --> 00:40:55,976
Speaker 6: flamed on the internet the next week because all all

921
00:40:55,976 --> 00:40:58,896
Speaker 6: of the headlines were, you know, new Georgia kicker wears

922
00:40:58,896 --> 00:41:00,936
Speaker 6: glasses and still can't see the uprights. You know, that

923
00:41:01,336 --> 00:41:03,976
Speaker 6: headline was was that headline was all over the place.

924
00:41:04,056 --> 00:41:06,976
Speaker 6: My first week that myss so got off to a

925
00:41:07,056 --> 00:41:08,696
Speaker 6: rough start, but after that, I think I went on

926
00:41:08,736 --> 00:41:10,656
Speaker 6: a streak making about ten kicks in a row, and

927
00:41:10,896 --> 00:41:12,656
Speaker 6: you know, so the narrative kind of started to change

928
00:41:12,696 --> 00:41:14,456
Speaker 6: a little bit and people started to think, oh, maybe

929
00:41:14,456 --> 00:41:17,136
Speaker 6: this guy is the right guy for the job. So

930
00:41:17,496 --> 00:41:18,776
Speaker 6: really it was you know, about a third of the

931
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:20,616
Speaker 6: way through that twenty sixteen season when I took over

932
00:41:20,656 --> 00:41:22,936
Speaker 6: as the starter, and then from there we never looked back.

933
00:41:38,576 --> 00:41:41,855
Speaker 2: I read something that said, after the Notre Dame game,

934
00:41:42,176 --> 00:41:44,816
Speaker 2: you earned the scholarship and they presented you that scholarship.

935
00:41:44,856 --> 00:41:47,136
Speaker 1: What was that like? Because these stories are ones that

936
00:41:47,216 --> 00:41:48,176
Speaker 1: we're all endeared too.

937
00:41:48,256 --> 00:41:51,776
Speaker 2: Because it's somebody that's worked hard, walked on, paid your dues,

938
00:41:52,096 --> 00:41:54,616
Speaker 2: made your kicks, and now you're rewarded with the ultimate

939
00:41:54,656 --> 00:41:56,496
Speaker 2: goal when you go to college, which is a scholarship.

940
00:41:56,496 --> 00:41:58,656
Speaker 2: But talk about that moment, what it was like the

941
00:41:58,656 --> 00:42:00,416
Speaker 2: locker room and how it was presented to you.

942
00:42:01,256 --> 00:42:04,536
Speaker 6: Yeah, so really that actually came about a couple days

943
00:42:04,576 --> 00:42:06,856
Speaker 6: before we left for the Notre Dame trip. I think

944
00:42:06,856 --> 00:42:10,336
Speaker 6: it was a Thursday, our last day of practice for

945
00:42:10,376 --> 00:42:12,936
Speaker 6: that week getting ready for Notre Dame, and I had

946
00:42:12,976 --> 00:42:14,776
Speaker 6: had my last class of the day I think had

947
00:42:14,776 --> 00:42:16,936
Speaker 6: been canceled because I was back in my dorm room

948
00:42:16,936 --> 00:42:19,296
Speaker 6: and normally I would just head straight from class over

949
00:42:19,336 --> 00:42:21,456
Speaker 6: to the facility to get ready for meetings and then practice.

950
00:42:21,456 --> 00:42:22,936
Speaker 6: And so I think that my last class had been

951
00:42:22,936 --> 00:42:26,736
Speaker 6: canceled because I had some downtime in my dorm room

952
00:42:26,776 --> 00:42:28,456
Speaker 6: and I got a text from our one of our

953
00:42:28,456 --> 00:42:31,056
Speaker 6: special teams coaches at the time, Coach Fountain, and he said,

954
00:42:31,056 --> 00:42:33,216
Speaker 6: Coach mart wants to see you. You need to head

955
00:42:33,216 --> 00:42:35,176
Speaker 6: to the facility immediately. You know, as long as you're

956
00:42:35,216 --> 00:42:37,576
Speaker 6: not in class, head to the facility and he wants

957
00:42:37,576 --> 00:42:39,576
Speaker 6: to see you in his office, and you know, At first,

958
00:42:39,656 --> 00:42:41,096
Speaker 6: I thought, oh, man, what did I do?

959
00:42:41,176 --> 00:42:42,096
Speaker 3: Did I get in trouble.

960
00:42:42,216 --> 00:42:44,016
Speaker 6: It's like when your name gets called on the PA

961
00:42:44,136 --> 00:42:46,576
Speaker 6: system in school and the it's like the principal needs

962
00:42:46,616 --> 00:42:48,216
Speaker 6: to see you, you know. And so at first I

963
00:42:48,376 --> 00:42:50,576
Speaker 6: was a little scared. I didn't know what to expect,

964
00:42:51,336 --> 00:42:53,096
Speaker 6: and so I wanted to see coach mart in his

965
00:42:53,136 --> 00:42:55,456
Speaker 6: office and he said, raw, you've been kicking really well

966
00:42:55,496 --> 00:42:57,176
Speaker 6: for us. You know, he did really well last year.

967
00:42:57,216 --> 00:42:59,096
Speaker 6: You've made a lot of improvements over the off season

968
00:42:59,136 --> 00:43:01,336
Speaker 6: and I can see you know how much you've improved,

969
00:43:01,456 --> 00:43:02,856
Speaker 6: and you're kicking at a high level. And so I

970
00:43:02,856 --> 00:43:05,736
Speaker 6: want to put you on scholarship. And he said, can't

971
00:43:05,776 --> 00:43:08,376
Speaker 6: tell anybody yet because I've got something planned for you.

972
00:43:08,576 --> 00:43:10,696
Speaker 6: He said, you can tell your your parents if you like,

973
00:43:10,936 --> 00:43:12,976
Speaker 6: as long as you trust them not to tell anybody else.

974
00:43:13,016 --> 00:43:15,016
Speaker 6: I don't want the secret getting out yet. You can

975
00:43:15,016 --> 00:43:17,096
Speaker 6: tell your parents if you like, your girlfriend, whatever, but

976
00:43:17,176 --> 00:43:19,096
Speaker 6: that's it because I have something planned for you. And

977
00:43:19,136 --> 00:43:21,816
Speaker 6: I said, okay, that sounds good. So I told my parents,

978
00:43:21,816 --> 00:43:24,056
Speaker 6: told my girlfriend, and then we went up to Notre Dame.

979
00:43:24,416 --> 00:43:26,216
Speaker 6: I kicked a go ahead field goal with about three

980
00:43:26,216 --> 00:43:27,616
Speaker 6: minutes left. In the game, and then we got a

981
00:43:27,616 --> 00:43:31,056
Speaker 6: stripsack fumble on the ensuing possession and we're able to

982
00:43:31,056 --> 00:43:32,816
Speaker 6: close out the game in that fashion. And then we

983
00:43:32,856 --> 00:43:35,296
Speaker 6: got into the locker room and coach mart You brought

984
00:43:35,296 --> 00:43:37,176
Speaker 6: everybody up in the locker room and he said, hey, Rod,

985
00:43:37,216 --> 00:43:38,576
Speaker 6: you want to tell the team what we talked about

986
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:40,296
Speaker 6: a couple of days ago. And I got to tell

987
00:43:40,336 --> 00:43:42,456
Speaker 6: the whole team that, you know, I've been put on scholarship,

988
00:43:42,456 --> 00:43:44,176
Speaker 6: and then it was just a party in the locker room.

989
00:43:44,256 --> 00:43:46,736
Speaker 6: So it was it was a really incredible moment, really

990
00:43:46,776 --> 00:43:49,056
Speaker 6: excited that I got to share that with my team,

991
00:43:49,096 --> 00:43:50,656
Speaker 6: and I know that the video went, you know, went

992
00:43:50,736 --> 00:43:53,816
Speaker 6: viral and everyone you know, got to see that moment

993
00:43:54,416 --> 00:43:55,696
Speaker 6: and just sharing it with us, and it was just

994
00:43:55,736 --> 00:43:57,216
Speaker 6: a really incredible experience to have.

995
00:43:57,896 --> 00:43:59,456
Speaker 1: Do you think you would have still got that moment

996
00:43:59,456 --> 00:44:01,016
Speaker 1: had you missed the kick and lost the game?

997
00:44:02,416 --> 00:44:03,656
Speaker 3: That is a very good question.

998
00:44:03,736 --> 00:44:04,176
Speaker 1: I'm glad.

999
00:44:04,416 --> 00:44:06,336
Speaker 3: I'm glad that's not how it turned out. It might

1000
00:44:06,336 --> 00:44:09,256
Speaker 3: have taken another week. I honestly would have been interesting

1001
00:44:09,296 --> 00:44:09,856
Speaker 3: to think about.

1002
00:44:10,496 --> 00:44:11,256
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

1003
00:44:11,296 --> 00:44:14,096
Speaker 2: So from from Georgia, obviously you had all the accolades,

1004
00:44:14,136 --> 00:44:17,136
Speaker 2: everything like that, and then you went undrafted, but you

1005
00:44:17,176 --> 00:44:19,816
Speaker 2: do get an opportunity to go play for the Indianapolis

1006
00:44:19,816 --> 00:44:23,016
Speaker 2: Colts and you're on the NFL All rookie team. Talk

1007
00:44:23,056 --> 00:44:25,976
Speaker 2: about that first year coming to the league and the

1008
00:44:26,056 --> 00:44:28,536
Speaker 2: different trials tribulations you had getting going.

1009
00:44:29,376 --> 00:44:32,136
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that first year as an undrafted free agent.

1010
00:44:32,376 --> 00:44:34,296
Speaker 6: I think that everybody knows, you know, all the guys

1011
00:44:34,296 --> 00:44:36,816
Speaker 6: that are in that position, they know that, you know,

1012
00:44:37,336 --> 00:44:38,536
Speaker 6: you're kind of on a short lease.

1013
00:44:38,656 --> 00:44:40,335
Speaker 3: You really have to prove your worth.

1014
00:44:40,376 --> 00:44:42,256
Speaker 6: You have to prove that you're going to provide value

1015
00:44:42,296 --> 00:44:44,696
Speaker 6: to the team immediately, otherwise they're probably going to be

1016
00:44:44,736 --> 00:44:46,456
Speaker 6: moving on and looking in a new direction. And so

1017
00:44:46,856 --> 00:44:48,696
Speaker 6: every day that I was there, I felt like, this

1018
00:44:48,816 --> 00:44:50,936
Speaker 6: is another you know, this is another day of my

1019
00:44:51,096 --> 00:44:54,056
Speaker 6: job interview. You know, even though we go through tons

1020
00:44:54,096 --> 00:44:56,815
Speaker 6: of preparation before that, with interviews at the Senior ball

1021
00:44:56,896 --> 00:44:59,336
Speaker 6: and the Combine and you know, and and calls with

1022
00:44:59,376 --> 00:45:01,496
Speaker 6: the coaches leading up to draft day, you know, those

1023
00:45:01,536 --> 00:45:03,176
Speaker 6: are all part of it. And then you get onto

1024
00:45:03,216 --> 00:45:04,896
Speaker 6: the field for the first time with the team, in

1025
00:45:04,896 --> 00:45:06,816
Speaker 6: front of your teammates and in front of the coaches,

1026
00:45:07,016 --> 00:45:09,256
Speaker 6: and it's like, Okay, now this is this is the

1027
00:45:09,256 --> 00:45:09,696
Speaker 6: bulk of the.

1028
00:45:09,696 --> 00:45:10,416
Speaker 3: Interview right here.

1029
00:45:10,456 --> 00:45:12,176
Speaker 6: I have to prove that I'm capable of being on

1030
00:45:12,216 --> 00:45:13,976
Speaker 6: this field, that I deserve to be here every day,

1031
00:45:14,336 --> 00:45:15,976
Speaker 6: and you know, if I'm not doing it, They're going

1032
00:45:16,016 --> 00:45:18,856
Speaker 6: to be looking for another solution somewhere else. And so,

1033
00:45:19,816 --> 00:45:22,536
Speaker 6: you know, it was just a constant battle, a very

1034
00:45:22,536 --> 00:45:25,335
Speaker 6: heated competition with Chase McLaughlin, who's the current starting kicker

1035
00:45:25,376 --> 00:45:27,896
Speaker 6: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's done very well since

1036
00:45:27,936 --> 00:45:30,336
Speaker 6: he's arrived in Tampa. That he was my competition as

1037
00:45:30,376 --> 00:45:32,376
Speaker 6: a rookie, and it was a back and forth battle.

1038
00:45:32,376 --> 00:45:33,976
Speaker 6: You know, one day I'd win, one day he'd win.

1039
00:45:34,016 --> 00:45:35,536
Speaker 6: One day I'd win, one day he win. And so,

1040
00:45:35,856 --> 00:45:37,496
Speaker 6: you know, it kind of came down to the wire

1041
00:45:37,936 --> 00:45:40,656
Speaker 6: on on cut day as to who was going to

1042
00:45:40,696 --> 00:45:43,096
Speaker 6: be the starting kicker. Ultimately, I guess I had made

1043
00:45:43,096 --> 00:45:44,656
Speaker 6: a few more kicks than he did. I had, you know,

1044
00:45:44,816 --> 00:45:47,216
Speaker 6: just I had barely edged him out in our preseason

1045
00:45:47,256 --> 00:45:49,336
Speaker 6: competition and ended up being the guy. But you know,

1046
00:45:49,376 --> 00:45:52,136
Speaker 6: even in the regular season, it's a constant struggle and

1047
00:45:52,176 --> 00:45:54,736
Speaker 6: a constant battle because you have to consistently prove yourself

1048
00:45:54,736 --> 00:45:56,536
Speaker 6: on you know, on a weekly basis, week in and

1049
00:45:56,576 --> 00:45:58,856
Speaker 6: week out, you have to prove that you're adding value

1050
00:45:58,856 --> 00:46:00,176
Speaker 6: to the team and that you're going to help the

1051
00:46:00,176 --> 00:46:03,616
Speaker 6: team win. There were some really special moments that rookie year.

1052
00:46:04,216 --> 00:46:06,416
Speaker 6: I think I think a special the end of our

1053
00:46:06,496 --> 00:46:08,936
Speaker 6: rookie training camp when all of the veterans first reported.

1054
00:46:09,176 --> 00:46:11,136
Speaker 6: I'm sitting in my locker playing on my phone and

1055
00:46:12,016 --> 00:46:14,416
Speaker 6: a shoe kicks me on the foot and I look

1056
00:46:14,496 --> 00:46:16,816
Speaker 6: up and it's Philip Rivers and he walks up to

1057
00:46:16,816 --> 00:46:18,896
Speaker 6: shake my hand and he's like, hey, man, how you doing.

1058
00:46:19,096 --> 00:46:20,856
Speaker 6: And I said, hey, hey, nice to meet you. I'm

1059
00:46:21,136 --> 00:46:23,336
Speaker 6: I'm run Regal blaken Ship. Then he goes, I know

1060
00:46:23,376 --> 00:46:25,496
Speaker 6: who you are, man, And I'm like, what are.

1061
00:46:25,456 --> 00:46:25,976
Speaker 1: You talking about?

1062
00:46:25,976 --> 00:46:26,776
Speaker 3: How do you know who I am?

1063
00:46:26,816 --> 00:46:28,776
Speaker 6: He said, oh, man, you know, I'm a Southern boy.

1064
00:46:28,816 --> 00:46:31,216
Speaker 6: I've grown up watching SEC football my whole life. I've

1065
00:46:31,256 --> 00:46:33,296
Speaker 6: kept up with it all my time in the pros.

1066
00:46:33,336 --> 00:46:35,296
Speaker 6: And you know, you made waves of Georgia. It's great

1067
00:46:35,296 --> 00:46:37,096
Speaker 6: to see you, you know, in this locker room and

1068
00:46:37,096 --> 00:46:38,776
Speaker 6: hopefully you know you'll be a part of the team

1069
00:46:38,776 --> 00:46:40,696
Speaker 6: this year. And so that was a really cool moment

1070
00:46:40,696 --> 00:46:42,896
Speaker 6: getting to meet Philip. I remember playing with the Chargers

1071
00:46:42,936 --> 00:46:45,296
Speaker 6: and madd in two thousand and nine when I was younger,

1072
00:46:45,336 --> 00:46:47,816
Speaker 6: and I love to play with Chargers with Philip and

1073
00:46:47,896 --> 00:46:48,896
Speaker 6: La Danian Tomlinson.

1074
00:46:48,976 --> 00:46:50,776
Speaker 3: So you know, that was a really special moment.

1075
00:46:50,976 --> 00:46:52,855
Speaker 6: Getting to kick the game winning field goal against Aaron

1076
00:46:52,936 --> 00:46:56,096
Speaker 6: Rodgers and the Packers in over time about halfway through

1077
00:46:56,136 --> 00:46:58,216
Speaker 6: the season to take over first place in our division

1078
00:46:58,696 --> 00:47:01,096
Speaker 6: was another really special moment. So there were definitely some

1079
00:47:01,176 --> 00:47:03,416
Speaker 6: highlights of that rookie year. But you know, like I said,

1080
00:47:03,536 --> 00:47:06,416
Speaker 6: it's it's a constant battle to prove yourself week in

1081
00:47:06,456 --> 00:47:07,016
Speaker 6: and week out.

1082
00:47:07,296 --> 00:47:10,056
Speaker 1: Yea, it feels like a kicker can have a really

1083
00:47:10,096 --> 00:47:12,856
Speaker 1: bad game and be cut. Not so much with other positions,

1084
00:47:12,856 --> 00:47:14,696
Speaker 1: like there needs to be more than a bad game.

1085
00:47:14,856 --> 00:47:17,296
Speaker 1: But if you go out and you miss four kicks

1086
00:47:17,736 --> 00:47:19,696
Speaker 1: a lot of times, if you're not like the guy

1087
00:47:19,776 --> 00:47:22,896
Speaker 1: guy that is submitted in place, they'll just go, let's

1088
00:47:22,936 --> 00:47:25,855
Speaker 1: pull up a new kicker. I think that's the only

1089
00:47:25,936 --> 00:47:28,016
Speaker 1: position where they do that. Do you feel like that's true.

1090
00:47:29,056 --> 00:47:32,336
Speaker 6: I do think that the expectations for performance four kickers

1091
00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:35,456
Speaker 6: are at an all time high. You know, it feels like,

1092
00:47:35,496 --> 00:47:37,256
Speaker 6: for the most part, as you said, unless you are

1093
00:47:37,296 --> 00:47:39,736
Speaker 6: a very established guy. You know, you've been in the

1094
00:47:39,816 --> 00:47:42,576
Speaker 6: league for five, six, seven years, whatever the case may be,

1095
00:47:42,616 --> 00:47:44,936
Speaker 6: and you have shown over the course of your career

1096
00:47:44,976 --> 00:47:46,776
Speaker 6: that you are rock steady, and there may be just

1097
00:47:46,816 --> 00:47:48,776
Speaker 6: in a bit of a slump unless you're in that situation.

1098
00:47:48,856 --> 00:47:52,936
Speaker 6: There is a very short leash for kickers, especially punters

1099
00:47:53,136 --> 00:47:54,976
Speaker 6: a little bit, snappers a little bit as well, but

1100
00:47:55,056 --> 00:47:56,936
Speaker 6: especially for kickers. If you're not seeing that ball go

1101
00:47:56,976 --> 00:48:00,056
Speaker 6: through the uprights, usually coachers are looking in a new direction.

1102
00:48:00,216 --> 00:48:03,656
Speaker 6: And so you know, I experienced that as well. The

1103
00:48:03,696 --> 00:48:05,576
Speaker 6: first game of the regular season with the Cold in

1104
00:48:05,576 --> 00:48:08,696
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two, I had made two field goals in regulation,

1105
00:48:08,816 --> 00:48:11,496
Speaker 6: but then in overtime I hit two kickoffs set of bounds,

1106
00:48:11,616 --> 00:48:14,016
Speaker 6: gave the other team short field position. And then I

1107
00:48:14,056 --> 00:48:17,336
Speaker 6: also missed the potential game winner in overtime in that

1108
00:48:17,376 --> 00:48:19,656
Speaker 6: same game. And so you know, as you said, it

1109
00:48:19,736 --> 00:48:23,296
Speaker 6: really just takes one bad game. I hadn't been super established.

1110
00:48:23,296 --> 00:48:25,176
Speaker 6: I had a really good rookie season, but my second

1111
00:48:25,256 --> 00:48:27,296
Speaker 6: year with the Colts, I got injured and missed most

1112
00:48:27,296 --> 00:48:29,936
Speaker 6: of the season, so I hadn't really cemented my place

1113
00:48:30,056 --> 00:48:32,136
Speaker 6: at that point in time, and so, you know, one

1114
00:48:32,176 --> 00:48:34,496
Speaker 6: bad game was all that it took at the beginning

1115
00:48:34,496 --> 00:48:36,056
Speaker 6: of that twenty twenty two season for me to hit

1116
00:48:36,096 --> 00:48:38,696
Speaker 6: the road, and so you definitely see that. You know,

1117
00:48:38,776 --> 00:48:41,056
Speaker 6: it happened quite a bit throughout the course of this

1118
00:48:41,296 --> 00:48:43,256
Speaker 6: NFL season as well, where you have some guys that

1119
00:48:43,296 --> 00:48:45,856
Speaker 6: have kind of been on the fringe where they haven't

1120
00:48:45,856 --> 00:48:47,896
Speaker 6: really cemented themselves with the team yet, and so we

1121
00:48:47,936 --> 00:48:50,976
Speaker 6: saw a lot of turnover at the kicking position this season.

1122
00:48:51,176 --> 00:48:54,016
Speaker 6: You know, for that exact reason. The expectations are super high,

1123
00:48:54,176 --> 00:48:56,176
Speaker 6: and if you're not super well established and you're not

1124
00:48:56,296 --> 00:48:58,176
Speaker 6: meeting that bar, then you're probably going to be on

1125
00:48:58,176 --> 00:48:58,896
Speaker 6: your way out the door.

1126
00:48:59,336 --> 00:49:01,456
Speaker 2: How do you do with the mental aspect of being

1127
00:49:01,496 --> 00:49:04,896
Speaker 2: in that type of position because the pressure mounts right

1128
00:49:04,976 --> 00:49:07,376
Speaker 2: even when you're making kicks, you know that you can

1129
00:49:07,416 --> 00:49:09,536
Speaker 2: go into a slump, And how did you deal with

1130
00:49:09,576 --> 00:49:12,296
Speaker 2: that type of mental adversity week in and week out

1131
00:49:12,336 --> 00:49:14,376
Speaker 2: to continue to put yourself in the right mind frame.

1132
00:49:15,416 --> 00:49:17,256
Speaker 6: I think that, you know, the biggest thing that I

1133
00:49:17,296 --> 00:49:19,536
Speaker 6: can do is just have trust in my process and

1134
00:49:19,536 --> 00:49:20,656
Speaker 6: have trust in my preparation.

1135
00:49:20,736 --> 00:49:21,696
Speaker 3: I know that it's you know.

1136
00:49:21,776 --> 00:49:24,016
Speaker 6: Very cliche, and Joel indeed has always been you know,

1137
00:49:24,056 --> 00:49:26,136
Speaker 6: trust the process and Philly and eventually they're going to

1138
00:49:26,216 --> 00:49:28,896
Speaker 6: get their championship. But you know, really that's I think

1139
00:49:28,896 --> 00:49:31,736
Speaker 6: how it has to be, especially for specialists with you know,

1140
00:49:31,816 --> 00:49:36,336
Speaker 6: how how precise our performance is, and you know everyone's

1141
00:49:36,376 --> 00:49:38,256
Speaker 6: eyes are going to be on you.

1142
00:49:38,256 --> 00:49:39,776
Speaker 3: You really don't want anyone.

1143
00:49:39,456 --> 00:49:41,176
Speaker 6: Saying your name, especially if you're a you know, a

1144
00:49:41,216 --> 00:49:43,216
Speaker 6: snapper or a punter. You really don't want anyone saying

1145
00:49:43,216 --> 00:49:45,256
Speaker 6: your name because that probably means you did something wrong.

1146
00:49:45,456 --> 00:49:47,696
Speaker 6: If you're you know, going out and doing your job

1147
00:49:47,776 --> 00:49:50,096
Speaker 6: every time that your your number is called, you know,

1148
00:49:50,176 --> 00:49:51,696
Speaker 6: then people aren't going to have a reason to be

1149
00:49:51,736 --> 00:49:54,056
Speaker 6: looking at you. And so that's kind of how you

1150
00:49:54,096 --> 00:49:55,856
Speaker 6: want it to be. And so the best way that

1151
00:49:55,896 --> 00:49:57,176
Speaker 6: I think that I found to be able to do

1152
00:49:57,176 --> 00:49:59,256
Speaker 6: that is to just trust in my process. Just trust that,

1153
00:49:59,536 --> 00:50:01,296
Speaker 6: you know, I've put in all of this work over

1154
00:50:01,376 --> 00:50:03,816
Speaker 6: so many years. I've been kicking for I think eighteen

1155
00:50:03,896 --> 00:50:06,496
Speaker 6: or nineteen years at this point, away longer than you know,

1156
00:50:06,576 --> 00:50:09,576
Speaker 6: I haven't been kicking. And so I've just found that,

1157
00:50:09,656 --> 00:50:11,856
Speaker 6: you know, if I have these habits and I have

1158
00:50:11,976 --> 00:50:14,456
Speaker 6: these routines, and I'm consistent with my preparation on a

1159
00:50:14,496 --> 00:50:17,616
Speaker 6: weekly basis and that's going to lead to consistent performance

1160
00:50:17,616 --> 00:50:19,696
Speaker 6: in the game. So just being able to trust that

1161
00:50:19,936 --> 00:50:22,056
Speaker 6: the work that you're putting in is with the purpose

1162
00:50:22,096 --> 00:50:23,576
Speaker 6: and that it's going to lead to the results that

1163
00:50:23,616 --> 00:50:25,576
Speaker 6: you want. That's been the biggest thing that I found

1164
00:50:25,776 --> 00:50:28,136
Speaker 6: to help me prepare mentally to just have confidence and

1165
00:50:28,216 --> 00:50:30,456
Speaker 6: know that, hey, you've put in the work you deserve

1166
00:50:30,496 --> 00:50:31,936
Speaker 6: to be here, and you know if the work that

1167
00:50:31,976 --> 00:50:33,616
Speaker 6: you have put in is going to allow you to succeed.

1168
00:50:48,776 --> 00:50:50,696
Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to visualize the kick going in,

1169
00:50:50,736 --> 00:50:53,256
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure what your process was and if

1170
00:50:53,296 --> 00:50:55,856
Speaker 1: you were visualizing it going in, but if you were

1171
00:50:55,856 --> 00:50:57,896
Speaker 1: ever off, did you ever visualize it not going in

1172
00:50:57,936 --> 00:50:59,376
Speaker 1: and you just couldn't get it to go in and

1173
00:50:59,376 --> 00:51:01,856
Speaker 1: your visualization, You're like, come on, get out of my head. Yeah,

1174
00:51:01,896 --> 00:51:04,016
Speaker 1: then you got it kick, Like, did you ever battle

1175
00:51:04,096 --> 00:51:04,816
Speaker 1: those demons?

1176
00:51:06,856 --> 00:51:09,896
Speaker 6: Not necessarily from a mental standpoint, but definitely from a

1177
00:51:10,216 --> 00:51:13,216
Speaker 6: from a physical standpoint. You know, I could think back

1178
00:51:13,216 --> 00:51:15,656
Speaker 6: to a couple of kicks that I you know, that

1179
00:51:15,776 --> 00:51:18,696
Speaker 6: I missed earlier in my career, where when I was

1180
00:51:18,696 --> 00:51:21,136
Speaker 6: going through my warm up kicks in the net, It's

1181
00:51:21,216 --> 00:51:24,256
Speaker 6: something wasn't quite feeling right. And you know, that's usually,

1182
00:51:25,016 --> 00:51:27,096
Speaker 6: you know, part of every kicker's process. Usually when the

1183
00:51:27,096 --> 00:51:30,296
Speaker 6: offense crosses a fifty yard line, the punter usually puts

1184
00:51:30,296 --> 00:51:32,256
Speaker 6: his ball down. The kicker goes over to the net

1185
00:51:32,296 --> 00:51:33,856
Speaker 6: and starts to get a couple of kicks off into

1186
00:51:33,896 --> 00:51:36,136
Speaker 6: the net as the offense is getting into field goal range.

1187
00:51:36,136 --> 00:51:37,776
Speaker 6: And so there have been a couple of times where

1188
00:51:37,776 --> 00:51:39,816
Speaker 6: I would go out and I had missed a kick,

1189
00:51:40,176 --> 00:51:42,576
Speaker 6: you know, in the game, but the couple of kicks

1190
00:51:42,576 --> 00:51:44,576
Speaker 6: that I had hit into the net just before that

1191
00:51:44,656 --> 00:51:47,216
Speaker 6: didn't quite feel right. And so, you know, sometimes there

1192
00:51:47,256 --> 00:51:48,496
Speaker 6: is a little bit of a tell, at least for

1193
00:51:48,536 --> 00:51:51,176
Speaker 6: me specifically from a physical standpoint, to be like, okay,

1194
00:51:51,216 --> 00:51:53,336
Speaker 6: I really need to make sure that the ball is

1195
00:51:53,376 --> 00:51:56,456
Speaker 6: coming off my foot really clean in the net, and

1196
00:51:56,496 --> 00:51:58,336
Speaker 6: that's usually going to translate well to me being able

1197
00:51:58,336 --> 00:52:00,336
Speaker 6: to hit that next ball on the field and put

1198
00:52:00,336 --> 00:52:00,976
Speaker 6: it through the post.

1199
00:52:01,056 --> 00:52:01,696
Speaker 1: So I have.

1200
00:52:01,656 --> 00:52:04,536
Speaker 6: Struggled with that a little bit. You know, nine times

1201
00:52:04,576 --> 00:52:06,496
Speaker 6: out of ten, it's not an issue. I'm going to

1202
00:52:06,536 --> 00:52:07,976
Speaker 6: go out there, I'm going to knock it down. I

1203
00:52:08,016 --> 00:52:10,136
Speaker 6: made about ninety five percent of my field goals in

1204
00:52:10,496 --> 00:52:12,896
Speaker 6: the UFL last year and pretty much every time I

1205
00:52:12,896 --> 00:52:14,656
Speaker 6: walked out onto the field, I hit a great ball

1206
00:52:14,656 --> 00:52:16,816
Speaker 6: into the net right before that. So it's not as

1207
00:52:16,896 --> 00:52:19,016
Speaker 6: much of an issue now, but definitely earlier in my career,

1208
00:52:19,056 --> 00:52:21,416
Speaker 6: like in my high school career, that was definitely something

1209
00:52:21,416 --> 00:52:22,096
Speaker 6: that I noticed.

1210
00:52:22,856 --> 00:52:25,376
Speaker 2: You know, Now with the kickers having the ability to

1211
00:52:25,416 --> 00:52:28,496
Speaker 2: make alterations to the ball and you see all these

1212
00:52:28,496 --> 00:52:31,096
Speaker 2: field goals, they're going in at sixty five, seventy yards,

1213
00:52:31,136 --> 00:52:33,056
Speaker 2: but they're making them at a high clip. What is

1214
00:52:33,816 --> 00:52:36,176
Speaker 2: your thoughts and the impact that it's had on the

1215
00:52:36,216 --> 00:52:37,496
Speaker 2: game and for kickers in general.

1216
00:52:37,536 --> 00:52:39,936
Speaker 1: With the ball alteration now, for the kickers.

1217
00:52:40,296 --> 00:52:43,416
Speaker 6: I definitely think it's made the field goal kicking portion

1218
00:52:43,536 --> 00:52:46,616
Speaker 6: of kicking, you know, and of a regular NFL game

1219
00:52:46,656 --> 00:52:49,056
Speaker 6: a lot more exciting to see all of these bombs,

1220
00:52:49,136 --> 00:52:51,936
Speaker 6: you know, just on a weekly basis. I think that

1221
00:52:51,976 --> 00:52:54,096
Speaker 6: it's been really exciting. I mean, seeing Cam Little hit

1222
00:52:54,096 --> 00:52:56,416
Speaker 6: the seventy yarder in the preseason and then he made

1223
00:52:56,536 --> 00:52:58,776
Speaker 6: a sixty seven and a sixty eight yarder during the

1224
00:52:58,776 --> 00:53:01,656
Speaker 6: course of the regular season. You know, McLoughlin with the Bugs,

1225
00:53:01,696 --> 00:53:03,736
Speaker 6: as I mentioned earlier, he made a sixty five yarder

1226
00:53:04,456 --> 00:53:06,456
Speaker 6: at one point in season and so to see all

1227
00:53:06,496 --> 00:53:09,016
Speaker 6: these long kickicks made, I think it's really exciting and

1228
00:53:09,016 --> 00:53:11,256
Speaker 6: you know, adds a little bit more excitement to the

1229
00:53:11,296 --> 00:53:13,536
Speaker 6: game that we know that we previously hadn't seen, at

1230
00:53:13,576 --> 00:53:16,096
Speaker 6: least not to this extent, you know, and you know,

1231
00:53:16,136 --> 00:53:17,576
Speaker 6: a lot of people had asked me about it over

1232
00:53:17,576 --> 00:53:20,216
Speaker 6: the course of the season. You know, all of these

1233
00:53:20,296 --> 00:53:24,456
Speaker 6: NFL kickers, I think have been capable of making these kicks,

1234
00:53:24,936 --> 00:53:29,216
Speaker 6: you know, even before the ball breaking in rules that

1235
00:53:29,256 --> 00:53:31,056
Speaker 6: we have had for this season. But now they're able

1236
00:53:31,136 --> 00:53:33,736
Speaker 6: to make it on a more consistent basis. You know,

1237
00:53:33,976 --> 00:53:36,616
Speaker 6: guys have been able to make sixty five to seventy

1238
00:53:36,696 --> 00:53:39,256
Speaker 6: yard field goals, but definitely not with the regularity that

1239
00:53:39,256 --> 00:53:41,576
Speaker 6: we saw this season. But when you have the footballs

1240
00:53:41,576 --> 00:53:43,336
Speaker 6: that you can break in a little bit longer, it's

1241
00:53:43,376 --> 00:53:45,376
Speaker 6: not just you know, you get to break them in

1242
00:53:45,416 --> 00:53:47,736
Speaker 6: for forty five minutes two hours before kickoff, which is

1243
00:53:47,736 --> 00:53:49,256
Speaker 6: what it used to be. You know, Now you get

1244
00:53:49,256 --> 00:53:50,976
Speaker 6: them at the beginning of the season, and you can

1245
00:53:50,976 --> 00:53:52,576
Speaker 6: break them in leading up to week one of the

1246
00:53:52,576 --> 00:53:54,976
Speaker 6: regular season, and then you can use any one ball

1247
00:53:55,016 --> 00:53:56,976
Speaker 6: for up to three weeks. You know, you really get

1248
00:53:57,016 --> 00:53:59,656
Speaker 6: a ball broken into that perfect level, and then you're

1249
00:53:59,696 --> 00:54:02,696
Speaker 6: just able to more consistently get the distance you need

1250
00:54:02,736 --> 00:54:05,296
Speaker 6: for these long range kicks. And so when you got

1251
00:54:05,456 --> 00:54:08,016
Speaker 6: guys that are making them more consistently in practice, it

1252
00:54:08,056 --> 00:54:10,896
Speaker 6: gives the coaches a lot more confidence to be like, hey,

1253
00:54:11,096 --> 00:54:12,656
Speaker 6: if I need this, I can send him out in

1254
00:54:12,696 --> 00:54:14,576
Speaker 6: a game because I just saw him make sixty five

1255
00:54:14,616 --> 00:54:16,536
Speaker 6: three or four times in practice this week with it,

1256
00:54:16,576 --> 00:54:19,256
Speaker 6: you know, within our team period. And so it just

1257
00:54:19,296 --> 00:54:21,536
Speaker 6: gives the coaches more confidence to send these guys out

1258
00:54:21,576 --> 00:54:23,696
Speaker 6: there and then they'll be able to execute that in

1259
00:54:23,736 --> 00:54:26,776
Speaker 6: a game. There's an Instagram account that I follow called

1260
00:54:26,856 --> 00:54:29,816
Speaker 6: kicker Central that posted all of the field goal kicking

1261
00:54:29,816 --> 00:54:33,056
Speaker 6: results from the NFL regular season, you know, the total

1262
00:54:33,096 --> 00:54:36,416
Speaker 6: conversion percentage, the number of attempts, and this year there

1263
00:54:36,416 --> 00:54:39,096
Speaker 6: were more sixty plus yard field goals attempted and made

1264
00:54:39,136 --> 00:54:42,536
Speaker 6: than any season in NFL history. And you know, definitely

1265
00:54:42,576 --> 00:54:44,656
Speaker 6: a part of that is because of these footballs allowing

1266
00:54:44,696 --> 00:54:47,296
Speaker 6: guys to more consistently knock down these long range kicks.

1267
00:54:47,336 --> 00:54:49,016
Speaker 6: So it's been really exciting to see.

1268
00:54:49,216 --> 00:54:50,616
Speaker 1: I know you're going to start in the UFL with

1269
00:54:50,656 --> 00:54:52,616
Speaker 1: the Birmingham Stallions, but as the goal to get back

1270
00:54:52,616 --> 00:54:53,216
Speaker 1: in the league.

1271
00:54:53,816 --> 00:54:57,496
Speaker 6: Absolutely, that is definitely the goal. I was very close,

1272
00:54:58,256 --> 00:55:00,616
Speaker 6: you know, after this last UFL season. I did really

1273
00:55:00,616 --> 00:55:02,816
Speaker 6: well with the Saint Louis BattleHawks team last year, and

1274
00:55:03,176 --> 00:55:04,816
Speaker 6: I had a tryout with the Jets as soon as

1275
00:55:04,816 --> 00:55:07,056
Speaker 6: the UFLS season was over. I also had to try

1276
00:55:07,096 --> 00:55:10,176
Speaker 6: out with the Los Angeles Rams during the NFL regular season.

1277
00:55:10,256 --> 00:55:11,736
Speaker 3: So I feel like I'm very close.

1278
00:55:11,776 --> 00:55:13,296
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm back on a lot of teams

1279
00:55:13,376 --> 00:55:14,976
Speaker 6: radars to say, hey, this is a guy that we

1280
00:55:15,016 --> 00:55:17,576
Speaker 6: need to start taking a look at again. You know,

1281
00:55:17,616 --> 00:55:20,296
Speaker 6: because I'm healthy, I'm kicking well, kicking as well as

1282
00:55:20,296 --> 00:55:21,976
Speaker 6: I ever have at any point in my career. So

1283
00:55:22,416 --> 00:55:23,856
Speaker 6: you know, I feel like I'm putting myself back on

1284
00:55:23,896 --> 00:55:25,696
Speaker 6: a lot of teams radars, and so that is absolutely

1285
00:55:25,736 --> 00:55:27,336
Speaker 6: the goal is to end up back on an NFL

1286
00:55:27,456 --> 00:55:28,936
Speaker 6: roster as soon as possible.

1287
00:55:29,456 --> 00:55:32,176
Speaker 2: Now, look, I'm not the most savvy social media guy,

1288
00:55:32,216 --> 00:55:35,576
Speaker 2: Bobby can contest to that. But you're big on social media.

1289
00:55:35,656 --> 00:55:37,456
Speaker 2: You got a lot of great content. How do you

1290
00:55:37,496 --> 00:55:40,056
Speaker 2: come up with putting out the content? Is a feel thing?

1291
00:55:40,296 --> 00:55:42,736
Speaker 2: Is it something that you do weekly? Like, Hey, I

1292
00:55:42,776 --> 00:55:44,776
Speaker 2: knew we need to put this out. This out talk

1293
00:55:44,776 --> 00:55:47,336
Speaker 2: to me a little bit of how I grow my followers.

1294
00:55:48,576 --> 00:55:51,816
Speaker 6: Well as far as the football content goes that I've

1295
00:55:51,816 --> 00:55:54,176
Speaker 6: posted over the last couple of years. You know, I

1296
00:55:54,216 --> 00:55:57,816
Speaker 6: had a weekly series where last year I would recreate

1297
00:55:58,136 --> 00:56:00,456
Speaker 6: whatever I thought was the best kicking performance in the

1298
00:56:00,576 --> 00:56:03,376
Speaker 6: NFL on that weekend. And so usually I would try

1299
00:56:03,416 --> 00:56:05,256
Speaker 6: to pick one guy, you know, that I thought had

1300
00:56:05,256 --> 00:56:08,536
Speaker 6: to best game. And you know, for example, last year,

1301
00:56:08,576 --> 00:56:12,136
Speaker 6: in Week one to start the twenty twenty four regular season,

1302
00:56:12,736 --> 00:56:15,696
Speaker 6: Chris Boswell week one made six field goals with I

1303
00:56:15,736 --> 00:56:17,576
Speaker 6: think two from fifty plus and one of them was

1304
00:56:17,576 --> 00:56:19,736
Speaker 6: a fifty seven or a sixty yarder or something of

1305
00:56:19,776 --> 00:56:23,096
Speaker 6: the sort. So that was, you know, definitely the best

1306
00:56:23,096 --> 00:56:25,416
Speaker 6: performance that any single kicker had in that week. And

1307
00:56:25,456 --> 00:56:26,976
Speaker 6: so I would go out and I would try and

1308
00:56:27,056 --> 00:56:28,736
Speaker 6: match all of those kicks. When I would go out

1309
00:56:28,736 --> 00:56:30,616
Speaker 6: and practice and say, Okay, he made a sixty yarder

1310
00:56:30,656 --> 00:56:32,496
Speaker 6: from the right, hash, I got to make sixty right hash.

1311
00:56:32,576 --> 00:56:34,376
Speaker 6: He had a fifty five left hash, I got to

1312
00:56:34,376 --> 00:56:36,296
Speaker 6: make that left hash. And I would try and do

1313
00:56:36,376 --> 00:56:39,336
Speaker 6: them all consecutively, you know, and when I put it

1314
00:56:39,336 --> 00:56:41,416
Speaker 6: out there, then people can see, hey, I'm making all

1315
00:56:41,416 --> 00:56:43,536
Speaker 6: of these kicks and it's not taking me, you know,

1316
00:56:43,776 --> 00:56:46,736
Speaker 6: fifty thousand tries like I'm making these all back to

1317
00:56:46,816 --> 00:56:48,936
Speaker 6: back to back to back. As a kicker would do

1318
00:56:49,056 --> 00:56:50,936
Speaker 6: that in a game, he would be making all these

1319
00:56:51,016 --> 00:56:54,816
Speaker 6: kicks consecutively. And so that series kind of came about

1320
00:56:55,056 --> 00:56:57,136
Speaker 6: a little bit as an inspiration from some other free

1321
00:56:57,136 --> 00:56:59,976
Speaker 6: agent kickers that I had seen in previous years, where

1322
00:57:00,016 --> 00:57:01,336
Speaker 6: they would go out and try and make all of

1323
00:57:01,336 --> 00:57:04,056
Speaker 6: the kicks that were missed on a weekly basis, and

1324
00:57:05,056 --> 00:57:07,816
Speaker 6: me being someone that was in that position already, I

1325
00:57:07,896 --> 00:57:10,815
Speaker 6: know how much pressure and how much stress goes into

1326
00:57:10,856 --> 00:57:13,496
Speaker 6: being an NFL kicker. And you know, for a guy

1327
00:57:13,536 --> 00:57:15,856
Speaker 6: that's just on the streets to say, look at me,

1328
00:57:16,016 --> 00:57:17,336
Speaker 6: I'm making all these kicks.

1329
00:57:17,376 --> 00:57:18,576
Speaker 3: I'm better than you.

1330
00:57:18,576 --> 00:57:20,536
Speaker 6: You know, your team should sign me, that didn't really

1331
00:57:20,576 --> 00:57:22,496
Speaker 6: sit well with me, especially because when you're out on

1332
00:57:22,536 --> 00:57:23,936
Speaker 6: your own, you don't have a rush, you don't have

1333
00:57:23,976 --> 00:57:26,216
Speaker 6: a snap in a hole, you don't have fifty sixty

1334
00:57:26,256 --> 00:57:28,976
Speaker 6: seventy thousand fans trying to distract you and prevent you

1335
00:57:28,976 --> 00:57:31,176
Speaker 6: from doing your job. And so I wanted to try

1336
00:57:31,176 --> 00:57:33,096
Speaker 6: and put a little bit more of a positive spin

1337
00:57:33,736 --> 00:57:35,736
Speaker 6: on that idea and so instead of doing all of

1338
00:57:35,736 --> 00:57:38,096
Speaker 6: the myskicks, I wanted to try and pick out guys

1339
00:57:38,136 --> 00:57:40,136
Speaker 6: who were making all their kicks, and so that's how

1340
00:57:40,136 --> 00:57:42,936
Speaker 6: that series started last year. This year, I tweaked it

1341
00:57:42,976 --> 00:57:45,256
Speaker 6: a little bit because I felt like I kind of

1342
00:57:45,256 --> 00:57:47,896
Speaker 6: showed during the UFL season, Yes I can make kicks

1343
00:57:47,896 --> 00:57:50,416
Speaker 6: at a high percentage. Now, the biggest question mark, at

1344
00:57:50,456 --> 00:57:52,856
Speaker 6: least with me specifically, that some NFL teams still had

1345
00:57:52,936 --> 00:57:54,616
Speaker 6: was the leg strength, Like is he going to be

1346
00:57:54,656 --> 00:57:57,376
Speaker 6: capable of keeping up as guys are being able to

1347
00:57:57,376 --> 00:58:00,296
Speaker 6: try fifty five and sixty plus yard field goals with

1348
00:58:00,336 --> 00:58:02,856
Speaker 6: more regularity, Am I capable of doing that? And so

1349
00:58:02,896 --> 00:58:05,216
Speaker 6: this year I modified it a little bit to just

1350
00:58:05,576 --> 00:58:08,416
Speaker 6: I'm going to do the three longest kicks that are

1351
00:58:08,456 --> 00:58:11,576
Speaker 6: made in the NFL every year or every week. That way,

1352
00:58:12,136 --> 00:58:15,016
Speaker 6: I'm showing like, hey, these are the kicks that coaches

1353
00:58:15,056 --> 00:58:16,776
Speaker 6: are willing to send their kickers out and try on

1354
00:58:16,816 --> 00:58:18,856
Speaker 6: a weekly basis, and yes, I do have the leg

1355
00:58:18,896 --> 00:58:21,816
Speaker 6: strength to make them. I made every kick this year.

1356
00:58:22,056 --> 00:58:24,096
Speaker 6: All of the sixty plus yarders were attempted at some

1357
00:58:24,176 --> 00:58:26,816
Speaker 6: point or another during my weekly series. Made them all,

1358
00:58:26,976 --> 00:58:29,656
Speaker 6: including Cam Little's sixty seven and sixty eight yard field

1359
00:58:29,696 --> 00:58:32,776
Speaker 6: goals that he made during the regular season. So it

1360
00:58:32,896 --> 00:58:35,576
Speaker 6: was definitely a challenge. You know, for sure, I was like,

1361
00:58:35,616 --> 00:58:37,936
Speaker 6: this challenge, this series, the way that I'm doing it

1362
00:58:37,976 --> 00:58:39,776
Speaker 6: this year is going to push me, you know, in

1363
00:58:39,776 --> 00:58:42,176
Speaker 6: a way that I haven't pushed myself before, because I

1364
00:58:42,176 --> 00:58:44,856
Speaker 6: have never consistently tried to make sixty two, sixty four,

1365
00:58:44,936 --> 00:58:47,496
Speaker 6: sixty five yard field goals on a weekly basis. Usually

1366
00:58:47,776 --> 00:58:50,256
Speaker 6: it's not really part of your training to do that

1367
00:58:50,296 --> 00:58:53,096
Speaker 6: because you're not going to try them as much. You know,

1368
00:58:53,216 --> 00:58:54,896
Speaker 6: a bulk of your field goal attempts are going to

1369
00:58:54,896 --> 00:58:58,256
Speaker 6: come from thirty to forty, forty to fifty and so

1370
00:58:58,376 --> 00:59:00,856
Speaker 6: that's where a bulk of my training usually is in practice.

1371
00:59:00,936 --> 00:59:04,376
Speaker 6: But with these new ball conditions, those sixty plus yards

1372
00:59:04,376 --> 00:59:06,536
Speaker 6: are definitely going to become more common. And so you know,

1373
00:59:06,576 --> 00:59:08,696
Speaker 6: I wanted to try and challenge myself and push myself

1374
00:59:08,736 --> 00:59:10,656
Speaker 6: in that way, and you know, thankfully was able to

1375
00:59:10,696 --> 00:59:13,456
Speaker 6: make all of these kicks. They're all documented on my TikTok,

1376
00:59:13,536 --> 00:59:16,176
Speaker 6: my Instagram, Facebook, all of those platforms, you know, if

1377
00:59:16,176 --> 00:59:18,536
Speaker 6: anyone wants to go see them. So that that was

1378
00:59:18,536 --> 00:59:20,776
Speaker 6: a really fun challenge and a really good way to

1379
00:59:20,856 --> 00:59:23,336
Speaker 6: kind of market myself and say, hey, I'm still capable

1380
00:59:23,336 --> 00:59:25,136
Speaker 6: of making these long kicks. If that was a question

1381
00:59:25,216 --> 00:59:28,336
Speaker 6: mark for you, hopefully it's not going to be, you know,

1382
00:59:28,416 --> 00:59:30,096
Speaker 6: from this point on, because I'm putting out on a

1383
00:59:30,096 --> 00:59:32,576
Speaker 6: weekly basis that I'm making all these sixty plus yard kicks.

1384
00:59:32,616 --> 00:59:34,696
Speaker 6: So you know, as far as the football goes, that's

1385
00:59:34,896 --> 00:59:36,736
Speaker 6: you know, really been a bulk of the football content

1386
00:59:36,736 --> 00:59:38,176
Speaker 6: that I've posted the last couple of years.

1387
00:59:38,376 --> 00:59:38,496
Speaker 2: Now.

1388
00:59:38,496 --> 00:59:41,096
Speaker 6: I obviously have, you know, another side to me where

1389
00:59:41,136 --> 00:59:43,816
Speaker 6: I'm a you know, professional kicker by day and you know,

1390
00:59:43,936 --> 00:59:47,136
Speaker 6: nerd collector at night, you know where I'm a big

1391
00:59:47,136 --> 00:59:50,376
Speaker 6: fan of Lego and Transformers and Star Wars and Marvel

1392
00:59:50,416 --> 00:59:52,656
Speaker 6: and a lot of those you know, kind of nerdy things,

1393
00:59:52,696 --> 00:59:55,216
Speaker 6: and so there was a lot of that content as well,

1394
00:59:55,256 --> 00:59:57,096
Speaker 6: where you know, if I'm if today isn't a day,

1395
00:59:57,136 --> 00:59:59,136
Speaker 6: then I'm kicking, you know, If I get done working out,

1396
00:59:59,216 --> 01:00:01,616
Speaker 6: I'm going to stop by my my local Lego store

1397
01:00:01,616 --> 01:00:03,136
Speaker 6: here in Birmingham and I'm going to see what kind

1398
01:00:03,136 --> 01:00:05,016
Speaker 6: of cool stuff they have, and you know, maybe I'll

1399
01:00:05,056 --> 01:00:06,536
Speaker 6: bring in some of my stuff and trade in and

1400
01:00:06,576 --> 01:00:08,816
Speaker 6: get some new stuff for the collection or whether it

1401
01:00:08,856 --> 01:00:11,056
Speaker 6: was you know, Christmas getting you know, my family and

1402
01:00:11,056 --> 01:00:12,976
Speaker 6: friends would get me some new stuff for Christmas, whatever

1403
01:00:12,976 --> 01:00:15,096
Speaker 6: the case may be, so that all goes into it

1404
01:00:15,136 --> 01:00:18,136
Speaker 6: as well, you know, to try and just diversify and

1405
01:00:18,456 --> 01:00:20,256
Speaker 6: just show people that there is another side to me

1406
01:00:20,376 --> 01:00:23,856
Speaker 6: outside of being Rod the Kicker, you know, not just

1407
01:00:23,896 --> 01:00:25,856
Speaker 6: being a you know, a football player. There is another

1408
01:00:26,296 --> 01:00:29,216
Speaker 6: more human, more normal side to me, which is Rod

1409
01:00:29,256 --> 01:00:31,416
Speaker 6: the collector. And so I've had a lot of fun

1410
01:00:31,456 --> 01:00:33,096
Speaker 6: doing that over the last few years as well.

1411
01:00:33,896 --> 01:00:36,816
Speaker 1: One final question and everybody follow him Rod the Kicker. Three.

1412
01:00:37,016 --> 01:00:39,056
Speaker 1: That's in case you're wondering how to go follow him

1413
01:00:39,456 --> 01:00:42,056
Speaker 1: at Rod the Kicker. Three. Final question? What is your

1414
01:00:42,056 --> 01:00:44,016
Speaker 1: greatest What is your favorite kick of all time? It

1415
01:00:44,056 --> 01:00:45,136
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where.

1416
01:00:46,216 --> 01:00:47,456
Speaker 3: My favorite kick of all time?

1417
01:00:47,536 --> 01:00:50,216
Speaker 1: Yeah, making be high school, college or pros. When you

1418
01:00:50,256 --> 01:00:52,176
Speaker 1: look back at the kick where you are so proud

1419
01:00:52,216 --> 01:00:54,416
Speaker 1: of that kick, pressure's on. What is it?

1420
01:00:55,416 --> 01:00:57,096
Speaker 6: I would say it's probably the kick that I made

1421
01:00:57,136 --> 01:00:58,576
Speaker 6: at the end of the first half of the Rose

1422
01:00:58,576 --> 01:01:02,536
Speaker 6: Bowl in twenty seventeen against Oklahoma in the playoff semi finals.

1423
01:01:02,656 --> 01:01:06,216
Speaker 6: So Oklahoma had really come out guns in the first half.

1424
01:01:06,216 --> 01:01:09,736
Speaker 6: This was Baker Mayfield's Heisman season. He had actually caught

1425
01:01:09,816 --> 01:01:12,016
Speaker 6: a touchdown pass, you know, on a trick play that

1426
01:01:12,096 --> 01:01:14,816
Speaker 6: day had run and that put Oklahoma ahead, i believe,

1427
01:01:14,896 --> 01:01:18,336
Speaker 6: thirty one to fourteen at the end of the first half,

1428
01:01:18,376 --> 01:01:20,656
Speaker 6: and we were reeling. You know, our defense had given

1429
01:01:20,696 --> 01:01:22,336
Speaker 6: up more points just in that first half than we'd

1430
01:01:22,376 --> 01:01:24,456
Speaker 6: given up to basically any opponent throughout the course of

1431
01:01:24,456 --> 01:01:26,776
Speaker 6: the entire season leading up to that point, and so,

1432
01:01:27,216 --> 01:01:28,896
Speaker 6: you know, we were kind of on our heels. But

1433
01:01:28,976 --> 01:01:31,216
Speaker 6: thankfully at the end of that half, they decided to

1434
01:01:31,256 --> 01:01:34,336
Speaker 6: go the squid kick instead of you know, a traditional kickoff.

1435
01:01:34,376 --> 01:01:37,296
Speaker 6: For whatever reason. Our frontline player, take Crowder, recovered the

1436
01:01:37,296 --> 01:01:39,936
Speaker 6: ball immediately, so only one second came off the clock,

1437
01:01:40,176 --> 01:01:42,416
Speaker 6: and then our offense ran a play, got us a

1438
01:01:42,416 --> 01:01:44,216
Speaker 6: few extra yards, and I lined up for a fifty

1439
01:01:44,216 --> 01:01:46,536
Speaker 6: five yarder and knocked it down right at the end

1440
01:01:46,576 --> 01:01:48,736
Speaker 6: of the half as time expired. And still to this day,

1441
01:01:48,776 --> 01:01:51,656
Speaker 6: that is the longest field goal made in Rose Bowl history.

1442
01:01:51,816 --> 01:01:53,656
Speaker 6: I believe it's the longest field goal made in Georgia

1443
01:01:53,696 --> 01:01:56,736
Speaker 6: postseason history as well. And that kick, you know, got

1444
01:01:56,816 --> 01:01:59,376
Speaker 6: us back to fourteen points and we received the ball

1445
01:01:59,416 --> 01:02:01,016
Speaker 6: to start the second half, so we're like, hey, we're

1446
01:02:01,016 --> 01:02:02,976
Speaker 6: only down fourteen. If we can come out and score

1447
01:02:02,976 --> 01:02:04,456
Speaker 6: a touchdown to start the second half, we're only going

1448
01:02:04,496 --> 01:02:05,256
Speaker 6: to be down seven points.

1449
01:02:05,456 --> 01:02:06,336
Speaker 3: We are right back in it.

1450
01:02:06,416 --> 01:02:09,336
Speaker 6: So you know, that moment, especially with the pressure of

1451
01:02:09,656 --> 01:02:12,256
Speaker 6: going down as much as we did, needing any kind

1452
01:02:12,296 --> 01:02:14,296
Speaker 6: of spark and any kind of momentum to give ourselves

1453
01:02:14,336 --> 01:02:16,376
Speaker 6: a reason to be optimistic in the second half. I

1454
01:02:16,416 --> 01:02:19,416
Speaker 6: think that kick for sure, you know, is my biggest kick,

1455
01:02:19,456 --> 01:02:21,176
Speaker 6: my most proud kick of my career so far.

1456
01:02:21,656 --> 01:02:24,536
Speaker 1: Rodrigo really appreciate the time. Yeah you should do this.

1457
01:02:24,896 --> 01:02:28,256
Speaker 1: Yeah seriously, Yeah, you talk better than we do, I know. Yeah,

01:02:37,216 --> 01:02:39,296
Speaker 1: back in the league. And then after that, Yeah you
