00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: the room and you know, found her, was trying to

156
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: give her CPR and you know, shaking her and stuff

157
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: like that, and called the ambulance and by the time

158
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: they got they had a low pulse on the way

159
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: to the uh to the hospital and she was going

160
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: by the time they got to the hospital. But you know,

161
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: I had no clue what to do. You know, I've

162
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: hadn't I hadn't lost somebody like that, you know, since

163
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: my grandpa back in college, and even then I mean

164
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: my mom is you know, outside of my wife, you know,

165
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: the most important person in my life. And uh, you know,

166
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm like laying there being emotional, and I just had

167
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: no clue what to do. You're you're scared, you just

168
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: you don't want to do anything anymore. It's just how

169
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: do I be with my family? How do I be

170
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: with my dad? Because I can only imagine, you know,

171
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: I could hear my dad, but you know, I know

172
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: my brothers were there, and it's like, what can you do?

173
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I don't know lost, You're like lost.

174
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: And so I hit up a coach, Maasatya and just

175
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: shot him a message and let him know what had happened,

176
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: and he immediately was like, what room you in and

177
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: told him. He came down to my room and just

178
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, hugged me and it was just hugging me

179
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: and sitting there with me for probably an hour, and uh,

180
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, he was a you know, he's a stud

181
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: for that. You know, it's he just sat there with me,

182
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: was encouraging me to call the people and not to

183
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: be not to feel awkward or nervous or anything in

184
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: front of him, and do what I gotta do. And

185
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: he was like, when do you want to you know,

186
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: when do you want to get home? And you put

187
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: me on the first flight out. I didn't really sleep

188
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: that night and went out to uh flew back out

189
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: to Nashville, grab charrow and and uh grab char and waffle,

190
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: and drove up four hours to make it home. And yeah, man,

191
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: it was, uh, it was a brutal time. And I

192
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of just I kind of just tell all you

193
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: guys that stuff. I don't know fully why. I feel

194
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: like it's it's good obviously to talk about this stuff.

195
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: You know, I know I can't see the boys right now,

196
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: but I know the boys are sitting there listen, and

197
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: they kind of I haven't really talked to them about

198
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: it a whole lot, and you know, it's important to

199
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, I guess, talk through grief. And

200
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: I promise this whole episode isn't gonna be a downer

201
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: the whole time. We're going to get into a lot

202
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: of good stuff, because there is a lot of good

203
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: things happening, and you know, I just kind of wanted

204
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about what had happened and

205
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, the impact, you know, she had on me,

206
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: my family's life. That'll be forever, man. I mean, she

207
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: had a huge heart, she cared about people. She was

208
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: a hard ass. I mean she was annoying at times.

209
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean she can be mean too, even though she's

210
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: a Catholic school teacher. But you always knew where you

211
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: stood with her, and she always had everybody's back. And

212
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, you can never prepare for something like that.

213
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: And you know, when it's someone you love and someone

214
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: who has shaped who you are as a human, you know,

215
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: you feel in your core your body knows it's important,

216
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: and grief is really just the reaction that you have

217
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: from all that stuff. And again, man, when it's somebody

218
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: that important in your life, and you try, and like,

219
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who clings the videos and audio and quotes

220
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: and readings and absolutely everything, but you know, to step forward,

221
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: to put one foot in front of the other, and

222
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: to find whatever hope or optimism you can in the situation.

223
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: And you know, it's hard to I don't want to

224
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: say mask either. It's not like I'm trying to mask

225
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: the pain, but yeah, I'm just you don't like living

226
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: in that kind of pain. And you know, something I

227
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: read about grief actually that I want to share. It's

228
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: actually from I was reading it online. But grief is

229
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: really just love. It's all the love you want to

230
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: give but can't. All that love gathers up in the

231
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and

232
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: that holl apart in your heart. And grief is just

233
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: love with no place to go. And that was something

234
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: that was, you know, not you know, necessarily comforting, but

235
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: you like to be able to wrap your brain about

236
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: around any emotion you're feeling at the time. And you know, again,

237
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm just somebody who clings all that stuff. And the

238
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: funeral was amazing, The service was amazing, the church service,

239
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: everybody was all time. What's crazy is the amount of

240
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: people that were there that I just had no clue

241
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: who they were or had never met them. And you

242
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: just kind of see that that the impact that uh,

243
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: that she had on everybody. You know, I had to

244
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, I spoke, I gave the eulogi and that

245
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: was brutal, but something that you know, I know she

246
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: would she would have been encouraged about and happy that

247
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: her you know, her her baby boy was talking about

248
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: her that way, and you know, this this is something

249
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: that you talk to people who have had lost in

250
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: their life, somebody who's lost their mother. I know, I

251
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: had several people reach out to me that, you know,

252
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: you just felt like they knew what you were going

253
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: through because they had lost their mother around an age

254
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: or being middle aged, like you know, like myself. And

255
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, those people helped me a lot. People are

256
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: sending me. You know Brian Peters, you guys know Brian,

257
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: he was just on the last podcast. He's literally sending

258
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: me readings from will Ebner's book, videos and anything he

259
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: can to, you know, because he knows I like to

260
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: take my mind to different places and try and wrap

261
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: my head about where you can find like hope and

262
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: everything else inside of all this, and people just you know,

263
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: really rallied around, and you know, I know this is

264
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: something that will never be easy, and it's not easy

265
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: to lose anybody. I know, when I was at the visitation,

266
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: one of my best friends, his mom was there and

267
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: she had just buried her mom two weeks before that.

268
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: She was like, oh, this is my second time in

269
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: two weeks being here at this funeral home, and you know,

270
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: her mom just died of old age and she was

271
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: sitting there and you can kind of see the water

272
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: in her eyes, not from that, but obviously were She

273
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: just saw my mom at the visitation and she's there

274
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: comforting us, and you know, she brought that up and

275
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: I was like, well, how are you doing? And she

276
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: just breaks down and starts crying, and you know, I'm

277
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: hugging her and stuff. And you just realize that it

278
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter when it's and the pain, you know, isn't

279
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: necessarily different when you lose somebody that you know you

280
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: care about. It just you know it affects you no

281
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: matter what. And you know this will, like I said,

282
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: I know this is something that will never actually like

283
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: be easy. You kind of just you know, my mom

284
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: would be pissed if we just hung our heads and

285
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: dwelled in something like this. And I know grief works

286
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: different from everybody. Yeah, but you know, I don't think

287
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: it's anything you'll ever really wrap your mind around. But

288
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, one at one moment, it pisses you off

289
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: to think about because you just wish this person was

290
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: here on earth. You'll drive around and listen to music

291
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: and I'll be my you know, I'll be myself where

292
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: you know, enjoying something enjoying whatever's I have on my phone,

293
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: playing in the truck, or laughing at something on Twitter,

294
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: or you know, having fun with the boys, whatever the

295
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: case may be. And then you just get in those

296
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: moments where you're you're driving and you're just mad, realizing

297
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: that this human being isn't on the planet anymore. And

298
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what everybody believes, but my mom,

299
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: being a Catholic school school principle, you just sit there

300
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, you know, I hope that whatever she believed,

301
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: it's true. And you know, you see him, you see

302
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: him again on the other side. You know, she'd want

303
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: us to live intentionally. She gave us a lot of

304
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: interest to the test. Uh, So again, she'd be she'd

305
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: be pissed if we didn't take everything she embodied and

306
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: taught us and put it into practice and move forward.

307
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: And you know, I think, uh, inevitably, we all know

308
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: it's better to live life courageously than it is to

309
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: live cowardly, than it is to dwell, than it is

310
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: to make excuses on why you're so affected and you

311
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: can't move forward. And uh, you know, intuitively, I think

312
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: we all know that we need to live life with purpose,

313
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: you know, I know that's something that you have to

314
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: do in times of like that kind of ain't really

315
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: really any adversity, but you know, death being something you

316
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way to live in and

317
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: to live intentionally and live with purpose. And you know,

318
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: I think you become hopeful after that, not and hopeful

319
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: is just you know, hope's a good thing, you know,

320
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: maybe the best of things, because you know, when you

321
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: have hope, it never dies. And so you know, now

322
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: we live. We learned to live on earth loving my mom,

323
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: and now we have to learn to love her in

324
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: her absence. So you know, it's like one of those

325
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: things too where you just you begin to honor her

326
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: and you find you find new purpose with things. And

327
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't really quite know what it is yet, I

328
00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: know it'll be something, and you know you have ultimately

329
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: have to spin a positive out of this, and if not,

330
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: you sit there and dwell and you'll never get over it.

331
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: And we're all about fucking being a wolfing and uh,

332
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: you know not in a way too to just like

333
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: tough through it, but you know, to use everything that

334
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: I've ever learned from her and from anybody else and

335
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: try and put stuff into practice and move forward. But uh,

336
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: and the last thing too, something that you know sitting

337
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: there too, Mike Studd ended up reaching out. It's not

338
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: stud anymore. He doesn't go by Mike Stud. It's just

339
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: Mike now. But uh, he has shot me a message

340
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: and it really, you know, I just it really resonated

341
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: with me, and it was at some point we are

342
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: the eldest, we are the leaders. When our parents go

343
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: is when we truly become ourselves. Until then, there's always

344
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: that little kid inside of us somewhere who calls mom

345
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: or dad when something is wrong. This is essential in

346
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: self mastery. It's your time. I have no doubt you

347
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: absolutely body this and become even better. It's time to

348
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: make her proud. I'm here if you you know, want

349
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: to talk, so then you love and light brother. But

350
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: it's like it's you know, something like that too that

351
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: resonated with me. Is It's true there's a part of

352
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: you and grief and all this stuff that there's a

353
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: little bit of fear of knowing what she did and

354
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: how she was there for us and everything that there's

355
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: a little bit of fear on what happens next, Like

356
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: how do I do this or how do I go

357
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: about that? And my mom did this for me and

358
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: that for me, and you know, I think when something

359
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: like this happens and you got to live a little

360
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: bit more intentional with purpose. With intentional with purpose is

361
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: just taking on, you know, more responsibility, and with that,

362
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: I do think you become, you know, more of you know,

363
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: whoever we're supposed to be on this planet. But yeah, man,

364
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: that is I don't know how much time we took

365
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: up on that, but that is my me just talking.

366
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys listening. I know almost the ways

367
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: were hit me. It comes in ways I really haven't

368
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: outside of the first week. It's kind of more thoughts.

369
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: But I feel like now that I'm vocalizing it to

370
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: you guys, and you know, especially the boys on the

371
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: bus right now, it's like, you know, I'm sitting there

372
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: with my boys and you're kind of like talking through

373
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: stuff and yeah, just hit you. So I appreciate you

374
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: guys for listening.

375
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: I think it's beautiful man, that you're in a position

376
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: to be able to share that with people too. You know, like,

377
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: obviously there's never a good time for to lose the

378
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: loved one, but I think that the fact that you're

379
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: in a place in life to be able to understand

380
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: a lot of these feelings and you have people around

381
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: you to help you understand that and get yourself through that.

382
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: But then also you have the position of the platform

383
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: to be able to share that with people. And like,

384
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: I'll just speak for myself, but I would assume other

385
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: dudes on this bus have kind of been impacted by

386
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: this as well. It's definitely a hug your loved ones

387
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: type of thing, and I think that, uh, I think

388
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: there's never a bad time to get that kind of

389
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: reminder out there. So perhaps to you minute, it's been

390
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: amazing kind of watching you get through this and work

391
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: through this, and obviously it's incredibly heavy, but you're a

392
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: guy who can bear that weight.

393
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I appreciate that, dude. You know too, Like,

394
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, people will reach out and DM me, and

395
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I make sure not to like

396
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: accept all of them, so that way, I'm not sitting

397
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: there just conversing back and forth with everybody in DMS.

398
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: But I clicked through a lot of them, man, and

399
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people, whether they're you know,

400
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: fans of the podcast, uh, fans of me from playing football,

401
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, or just following me on

402
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: social media. But there are a lot of you know,

403
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of tragedy that happens, and you learn,

404
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: you help cope and learn through other people. So yeah,

405
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: I do feel like, you know, this is something that's

406
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: that's good and and and can be positive for people

407
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: because you just have no clue what people out there

408
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: are going through. And if it takes reading a story,

409
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: reading a DM, listening to me on the podcast, or

410
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: something that helps you wrap your brain around something out

411
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: there and people can do it through me talking through it,

412
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: I think it's strong because it was. It definitely was

413
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: powerful for me. Like you know, it doesn't it doesn't

414
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: solve the problem that happened. But knowing you have people

415
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: to lean on and and stuff to occupy your mind

416
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: and and just stuff that somebody else might have learned

417
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: through through loss, it is comforting. So yeah, I appreciate that.

418
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: You want to rewind a little bit jump topics and oh.

419
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love to. I'd love to actually, but actually, there,

420
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: what's up?

421
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I'm sorry.

422
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. I actually wrote a a timeline

423
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: of the type of year that that we've kind of

424
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: had as bust with the boys because we you know,

425
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: this podcast has a lot to be proud of and

426
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, a lot to look back on because I know,

427
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, we were joking about it in the group

428
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: chat the other day. What was I saying? It was

429
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: me and Jack and uh, I said something about being prepared,

430
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: and he made a joke about Say what was it, Jack?

431
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: What happened? Let me reread it.

432
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said I don't like to count my chickens.

433
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, We'll just talking about being prepared in saying that

434
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 3: Private League, Garrett and I would take the fall for

435
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: not having an af Camp shirt on deck.

436
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: And I don't have my chicken before they hatch.

437
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 3: And then it just was kind of always be prepared,

438
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: We'll take blame and YadA, YadA, YadA.

439
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: And then it was like, except for this podcast because

440
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: we go by the seat of our pants so much. Yeah,

441
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: something like that, you know, something like that. And then

442
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: when you sit and I'm writing a lot of stuff

443
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: out because I'm like, man, we have to recap the

444
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: type of year we had, because number one, we're gonna

445
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: be doing some awesome things in twenty twenty two. But

446
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: to finish with the Titans last year and go throughout,

447
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, all twenty twenty one and another successful year

448
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 1: with our partners at Barsol Sports. Shut up, shout out

449
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: everybody at Barsol sports Man. They've been huge in our corner.

450
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: They they gas anything that we do and we plan

451
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: on doing a lot of big things with them in

452
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But through traveling, traveling Arizona, because you know,

453
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: Taylor was Taylor had an up and down year. Man.

454
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: I wish he could, you know. I know we'll get

455
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: to talk to him after the season, but I just

456
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of insight and a lot of

457
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: things to learn with stuff that he went through as well.

458
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: He had such an up and down year with the ACL,

459
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: And you know, it's never easy coming back from a

460
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: major surgery like in ACL, and you put a lot

461
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: of pressure and expectation on yourself, especially when you're you know,

462
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: a first rounder with this organization, somebody who was the

463
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: highest paid left tackle in the game at the time

464
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: he signed his contract, and you were having all those

465
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl years until you got upended and then you

466
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: tear your knee, and you know you're trying to be

467
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: the guy that the organization wants you to be and

468
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: with that, you know, it's nobody's nobody's fault. But like

469
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: with that becomes all those pressures and everything, and the

470
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: way you know, he's went throughout this year and now

471
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: he's standing tin Toe's down with the boys looking at

472
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: the one seed throughout playoffs, I think just speaks a

473
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: lot into speaks a lot to the adversity that not

474
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: necessarily that you have to go through, but just you know,

475
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: success and growth and progress is never linear, and it's

476
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: up and down and it's a roller coaster. And I

477
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: say all that because the time we had to travel

478
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: to Arizona because has Taylor needed to get away and

479
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: travel our end train elsewhere and kind of get out

480
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: of the monotony of Nashville and his knee to shoot

481
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: a podcast out there with Paul Bissonette from spitting chicklets

482
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: and making a couple episodes happen out there on the

483
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: fly bar, still helping us find a couple producers and

484
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: set up cameras and everything. Signing with Chevy. We got

485
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: to sign with Chevy, which is, you know, obviously the strongest,

486
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: best truck on the planet. But that was huge for

487
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: us Man because we were set to sign with him

488
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: during the year of COVID and that fell through because

489
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: obviously COVID everybody was pulling money and everything else, and

490
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: that was a big loss for us. And you know,

491
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: to partner with them in twenty twenty one has been incredible.

492
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: We got to do our one hundredth episode. I've never

493
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: thought I never thought we would have done a hundred

494
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: episodes when we were first starting on the bus in

495
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: that gravel parking lot, and to do our one hundredth

496
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: episode with Dave Portnoy was huge for us. We outgrew

497
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: our old setup. We were in that that shed, I

498
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: guess you can call it a big shed where the

499
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: bus was parked where you could easily break into it.

500
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: People did break into it almost people broke into it,

501
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: slept there, took our gear, but our took our merchandise,

502
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: not our gear, broke a TV on the way, but

503
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: essentially just scooted the furniture over so they could sleep somewhere,

504
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: and you know, followed the police report for that. But

505
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: we had a hot spot. We ran off a generator.

506
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: A hot spot didn't even work most of the time,

507
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: probably more so because I struggled to pay the bill

508
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: with that. But then we got to move and we

509
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: got to upgrade into a bigger spot fully functional ac

510
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: Now heat I think is the heat working.

511
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: Heat works right, it's not cold in there, it's not cold.

512
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: Good deal. Well you got we got heat. Now, we

513
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: got fully functional Wi Fi and Internet. We got to

00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,720

Speaker 1: the opportunity was there to go to the Atlanta Falcons.

587
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: I forget what week that was, but the Atlanta Falcons

588
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: had contacted me because I was text with Arthur Smith

589
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: and you know, he was like, hey, are you ready

590
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: to go? We want to bring you out. It was

591
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: going to be I was gonna work out by myself

592
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: with the intent to sign and Charo my wife. We

593
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: were fourteen weeks pregnant at the time. She was fourteen

594
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: weeks pregnant at the time, and she had assist She

595
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: had assists on her on her ovary. So the doc

596
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: was telling us how dangerous it could be if we

597
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: get deeper into the pregnancy. She would would rather take

598
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: it out now than have to do an emergency surgery.

599
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: You might not have to get surgery at all, but

600
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: there would be a she had like a set it

601
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: was like seven inches. There'd be like the cyst sitting

602
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: on top of her stomach. Right now, now she's bigger

603
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: and pregnant, more pregnant, you would be able to see

604
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: the cysts sitting on top of her stomach. And so

605
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: we decided we were going to get that surgery. And

606
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: when Coach Smith was contacting me. That was on a Monday.

607
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: We were supposed to get surgery on Friday, and so

608
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: I had to call him and just say, hey, man,

Speaker 1: town for like, you know, not until like the next week.

614
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: And he was super understanding. He was like, hey, yeah,

615
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: do your thing. Man. How how about we come get

616
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: you after the bye week? And I was like, man,

617
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not asking for any favors, but that'd be incredible.

618
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we'd have enough time to get her through

619
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: the surgery and everything everything else. Because my agent was

620
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: contacting me, Hey, we got to get your flight, and

621
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Atlanta is a few hours away. I'll

622
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: just drive the ship. I'll just pack up the Chevy

623
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: and drive the Chevy down. No worries, had all this anxiety.

624
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, what do I need to do? And

625
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: so I got on the phone with Coach Smith and

626
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: we kind of talked it through. You know. Uh, it

627
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: ended up he didn't even come get me a couple

628
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: of weeks later, they ended up picking up Darren Bates.

629
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: So I like, in my head, I'm like, did I

630
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: lose that on that opportunity? I chose, you know, you know,

631
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm good with myself because I chose, you know, to

632
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: be here for my wife and my family. She was

633
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of being beating herself up about it because you know,

634
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: you're missing out on these game checks, uh to play

635
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: football and to h to be on a team, and uh,

636
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, I had to had to talk her down

637
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: and give her some perspective on you know what if

638
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: I don't play another down, And it was because of

639
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: like the health and safety of you getting to the surgery.

640
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we made the right decision. And

641
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: with that to spin a positive into it, the boys

642
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: ended up getting to travel that Those were the times

643
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: we got to travel to Nebraska, which was an awesome

644
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: game when they played Michigan lost by three. We should

645
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: have won the ress kind of you guys know the

646
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: whole story there. We got to travel to Tennessee at

647
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: the Old Miss game, which was incredible. Jack was you know,

648
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: six to midnight the entire time we got to throw

649
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: all these tailgates. I got to be at these tailgates

650
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: with you guys, and you know, I do big, big

651
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: up to you guys. I appreciate the hell out of

652
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: you guys sitting on the bus right now because you

653
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: we're not having any of these tailgates. We obviously don't

654
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: have a podcast without you guys, but we all know

655
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: that the podcast is the gig, but all the extra

656
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: stuff with the traveling around in the in the in

657
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: the tailgates and hosting and you know, being around the

658
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: tier ones and picking up I won't even say picking

659
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: up slack because I know you guys are personalities and

660
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: your own right too, no disrespect, but uh yeah, man.

661
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: It was just a crazy year and the whole time

662
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: it's like balancing football and podcasting and do I also want

663
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: to play football? That I was at kind of the

664
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: last opportunity with Atlanta that I had gotten, and going

665
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: into Thanksgiving it was kind of like the date where

666
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: I was like, I think this is where I'm gonna

667
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: draw the line in the sand, because at the beginning

668
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: of the year there were only a few teams that

669
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to play for. It was the Titans, it

670
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: was Atlanta with coach Arthur Smith, and it was the

671
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: Raiders potentially like the Packers or Washington, just depending on

672
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: the situation. And I get through Thanksgiving and I get

673
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: to go home and visit and go home for a

674
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: visit my family for when the North Kunty Raiders, my

675
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: high school football team, was in the quarterfinals. When I

676
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: went home that weekend, and I was kind of just

677
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: telling my parents that, you know, I'm at peace with everything,

678
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: like I feel good about this decision, and I think

679
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang it up, like I'll still stay in shape,

680
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: I guess in case something happens. But it was better

681
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: for me to shift my mind to like I need

682
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: to start thinking full busting because of not I was

683
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: only planning out one week at a time. It's like

684
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: schools would hit A school would hit us up. Kansas

685
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: State wanted us to come out and I couldn't plan

686
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: it in advance because you never knew on the next

687
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: Monday if a team would call you and want you

688
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: to play that week. So I could never plan out

689
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: that far in advance. We're always scrambling to get you know,

690
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: book guests. And Taylor was gonna do the pod then

691
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,479
Speaker 1: he you know, then we decided that he wasn't gonna

692
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: do the pod and it was just, you know, there's

693
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in between there that you know,

694
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to like take for granted or forget

695
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: about that, because we continued to push forward and keep

696
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: doing the thing, and then uh just went on that

697
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: piece with everything. I'm sitting on my toilet having my

698
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: morning too, and Coach Basacia calls me FaceTime and I

699
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: thought he was just calling a He had a couple

700
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: of the boys like Alec, Alec or Foster or somebody

701
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: in the in the office with him, and they're just

702
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: gonna bust my balls about something because he had contacted

703
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: me the week before, just telling me Happy Thanksgiving and everything.

704
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: Uh He's like Happy Thanksgiving, prick and blah blah blah.

705
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: And that's just kind of how we go back and

706
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: forth with each other. And I sent him a selfie

707
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: video and I just got done working out and I

708
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,360

00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, I stay in shape in case somebody like,

Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders want to call for you know,

714
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: a roster spot or even practice squad. Hell, I'll even

Speaker 1: have to have to pay, and just sending a goofy

717
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: video back to him and we laughed about and everything,

718
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, no, you're you're you're you're too

754
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,480

755
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: to sign somebody, whether it be on practice squad. The

756
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: theme this year is you sign on practice squad and

757
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: then you get use your elevations and all that fun stuff.

758
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: You get two elevations on practice squad to be active

759
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: on the fifty three, and then after the two elevations,

760
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: you have to make a decision is if you want

761
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: to got on the fifty three full time or you're

762
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna cut them and keep them on practice squad, you know, permanently,

763
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: I think. And so I called Jay Robin. I'm kind

00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: of tells me the situation. I'm like, well, how likely

766
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: is it that I'll be active this weekend or the

767
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: next couple of weekends. Because my whole goal was like

768
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: get a credited season. To get a credited season, you

769
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: need to be on an actor, you need to be

770
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: on an active roster for three games. I'd say, you

771
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: get the benefits for retirement pension and everything else. So

772
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: if I was going to go play for somebody, I

773
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: wanted the best opportunity to get to a credited season

774
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: to you know, help with my help long term, help

775
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: with retirement pension, and everything else. I didn't want to

776
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: go and just be on somebody's practice squad because it's

777
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: a much better situation just doing busting with the boys,

778
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: and I have to look over your shoulder worrying about,

779
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, being somebody out on social media and a

780
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: podcast and everything else. So I wanted to kind of

781
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: be worth it. And We're talking back and forth, and

782
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: I tell them that another situation is kind of unfolding,

783
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: so I'll keep them in the loop talk to my agent.

784
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: Raiders hadn't contacted yet, so it's like, okay, well, the

785
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: only tangible uh offer I have right now is from

786
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: the Titans, and it's like, holy shit. The boys in

787
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: Nashville are asking if I want to work out, and

788
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, the Raiders call bright and early

789
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: in the morning wanted me to come be a Raider.

790
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: And I get on the phone with Rich and kind

791
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: of talk through some things back and forth, and ultimately I,

792
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, decided to come out to Vegas. And it

793
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't anything like obviously against the Titans. Everybody

794
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: knows I love the Boys, man, but situationally, it seemed

795
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: like the better move was to be, you know, on

796
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders for what I was trying to what my

797
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: goals were, and you kind of I didn't know past

798
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: one week with the Titans. Jay Rob couldn't really promise

799
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: me or kind of tell me anything beyond that. He

800
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, we'd love to get you

801
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and you know, obviously you know

802
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: everybody here and we'd love to have you this and that.

803
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: And it turned out to be, you know, the right

804
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: decision because the next day Zach Cunningham gets cut and

805
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: falls to the Titans. They claim them off waivers and

806
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: that dude is a stud. I'm not taking anything anything

807
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: away from myself, but set Cunningham stud and that the

808
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: riding would have been on the wall pretty fast for

809
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: me there. But yeah, man made it out to Vegas,

810
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: flew out that night Tuesday night, didn't get in, didn't

811
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: land until like midnight or twelve thirty. I didn't get

812
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: to my hotel until like two in the morning. I

813
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: have to wake up at five five thirty in the

814
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: next morning to do the whole you know, test for

815
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: COVID clear physicals, do all this stuff. And then I'm

816
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms and everything with all the boys

817
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: that day going through practice, just dehyd it had been

818
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: on the plane for hours, no sleep, just kind of

819
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: cramping in my caps a little bit. I'm like, yo,

820
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounded nice, but I don't know

821
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: if the boy can do this anymore. Uh. But after

822
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: the first day it was it was a lot better.

823
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: You kind of catch your breath a little bit and

824
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: everything else. It's like you have so much nerves, anxiety

825
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: and everything else. It kind of comes within your back again.

826
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: You're back with a team, you're familiar with a lot

827
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: of the guys in the locker room. It was a

828
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: it was a it was a warm welcome, and it

829
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: was a it was awesome man. And uh, you know,

830
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: then we go and unfortunately get absolut our cheeks absolutely

831
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: throttled by Kansas City and we go out to the

832
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: logo before before the game, and I see on Twitter

833
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, it didn't happen before Will had gotten there.

834
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: They did this on the Titans, And that was only

835
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: a couple of people. I'm not saying that was like

836
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: some consensus across the board, this is Will Compton's doing. Uh.

837
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: But it was just funny, man. It was Uh, it

838
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: was funny that I was kind of seeing that stuff,

839
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, got uh got beat by the Chiefs and

840
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: then we've won on a three game win streak since,

841
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: and we are now in the Super wild Card and

842
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: an extended playoff and we went and in baby, So

843
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and stop rambling and talking. I'm sure

844
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: we have an ad read and I can let you

845
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: guys back up or ask any questions or engage as

846
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,160

00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 2: you've jumped into a team late in the year and

850
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 2: every step of the way, the pod has grown significantly

851
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: back into the locker room with those guys where with

852
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,840

00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: Obviously the guys didn't know about it then, but Max

856
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: Crosby did. Max new based on that trailer too that

00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: I had a lot of insecurities about it because not

868
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,279

869
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,279

872
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,000

Speaker 1: being out here now, uh, you know, guys talk about it,

874
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,879

00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: blessed and highly favored.

884
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 2: A little better up extended day.

885
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: Oh bro, you can as the boys JP and Garrett. Man,

886
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: it's the hotel that I was in before I came

887
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: in the Austin Spot. So what happens is they give

888
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: you a week or two of to stay at the

889
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: hotel that they put you in, the Team Hotel, and

890
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: the first year in Oakland and Alamia, I'm at an

891
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: extended stay out Legit. You smell the cigarette smell in

892
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: all of the material homeless people like the whole nine

893
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: You smell weed just busted place. Man. I had ant

894
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: bites and bites all over my body. I had to

895
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: move rooms two different times in that place, but I

896
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: gutted it out from the end of October throughout the

897
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: rest of the year because we're in California. Like, it

898
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: was already like three grand a little over three grand

899
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: to be in that extended stay, But that was the

900
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: cheapest place and situation I could be in without like

901
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: going to an airbnb. Airbnb he's like four and five

902
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. If I wanted to rent a place, it's

903
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: like then you got to think about rinning furniture and

904
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: just doing all this stuff. The extended state was right

905
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: there next to the facility, and I'm talking neighbors. So

906
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 1: all I had to do was walk out the exit

907
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: door and literally two minute top walk to the facility,

908
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: getting in the door, and being at the facility. So

909
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: I chose to stay at the Extended's day and because

910
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have a car or anything either. So coming

911
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: out here, it's like, Yo, We're in this like casino

912
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: hotel and you got like restaurants inside their cafes, pastries

913
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: like not that I meeting them, because you know in

914
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: the NFL now, I gotta like keep it right, keep

915
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: it tight. But walking in and visually like what wolve

916
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: was the JP or Garrett, wasn't there like a Lambeau

917
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: parked right there in the middle of the in the

918
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: middle of the hotel, Like when you come in the entrance,

919
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: there's like this high end car that's sitting there. Like

920
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: it was just dude, complete one to eighty difference from

921
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: the al media extended State uh experience, but that he

922
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: that that extends to experience. It me up a little bit.

923
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: What's up the car in the hotel?

924
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the hotel that you stayed up or

926
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,600

00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 4: like a mannequin and Raiders uniform with Will's number on it.

928
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,759

00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: have a home game to where I actually go get

953
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: to see the death Star and like being the death Star.

954
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be that's gonna be pretty serious.

955
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, you haven't even seen it yet.

956
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

957
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 2: Going going back to ball, there is you guys were

958
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 2: just talking about before we got on the podcast. There's

959
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: this scenario, Yeah, where you and you guys end up

960
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: coming back to Nashville to play, right, what's the what?

961
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, so you could have the Boys

962
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: Bowl going on in the in playoffs, So what can happen?

963
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: Is this counting chickens. Yeah, we're not gonna We're not

964
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: gonna do that, Jack, but we gotta pay some scenarios here.

965
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: Number one, we.

966
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: Got to take care of business against the Chargers. That's

967
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: it's great to be in this position because we control

968
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: our own destiny. We don't have to you know, have

969
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: other teams lose or anything else that happen other than

970
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: us focus one day at a time this week and

971
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: win this game. If we win this game, we are

972
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, so we're essentially both teams Chargers Raiders.

973
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: This is like a super wildcar weekend. We got the

974
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: game flex a Sunday night winning in for both teams,

975
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: similar to when I was on the Titans in eighteen

976
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: and we played who was it the Colts? The winning

977
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: in situation there, but it's good. It's awesome to be

978
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: in a situation like where you control your own destiny

979
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: because I've been in other locker rooms and on other

980
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: teams where you're fighting at the end of the year

981
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: and you need other things to work out for you

982
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, it just sucks. It's like,

983
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: let's just win this game and see how everything unfolds.

984
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: To bounce back after what happened in Kansas City and

985
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: string three in a row together is unreal. And the

986
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: Boys got a lot of momentum right now, and we're

987
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: stoked about this weekend. But the playoff scenario that could

988
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: happen is let's just say the Titans the Boys win

989
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: this weekend against the Texans. I know they lost the

990
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: first game, but you know, hopefully they take care of

991
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: business this weekend, they'll they'll they'll get the one seed,

992
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: so they'll get a bye week. The whole AFC will

993
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: have to come through Nashville, which will be incredible for

994
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: the city and everybody else, and we would essentially if

995
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: the coach beat the Jaguars, they should, we will be

996
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: the seventh seed. We'll have to go play the Chiefs.

997
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: As of right now, the Chiefs are the two seed.

998
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: We'd have to go play at Case and play the

999
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs for a third time, which I think will be

1000
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: a great game, especially after what just happened last time.

1001
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, everybody knows it's tough to

1002
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: tough to beat a team three times, and when you're

1003
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: so familiar with teams, I think it just makes for

1004
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: great ball. We beat the Chiefs, we would then go

1005
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: to travel to Nashville and play the Boys in Nashville.

1006
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: Now there's a situation where we could play them in

1007
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: the first week of the playoffs. And again, any coaches,

1008
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: anybody associated with the Raiders listening, I am not getting

1009
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: ahead of myself. I am just talking through these different scenarios.

1010
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: I know that this week is the only week that

1011
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: matters right now. But if the Titans lose to the Texans,

1012
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 1: we obviously take our business and we beat the Chargers.

1013
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: If the Titans lose to the Texans, Titans become the

1014
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: two seed. We then can go to Nashville and play

1015
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: the boys in Nashville for the first week of the playoffs.

1016
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: I think that'd be I think it'd be awesome to,

1017
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, as we take our business against the Titans,

1018
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: the flip brave of the Bird and Jack and Garrett

1019
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: and everybody else in the stands and just have that

1020
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: little shit grin, just like this is a little cocksuck

1021
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: crowd here, man. But yeah, that's I think that situation

1022
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: would be hilarious.

1023
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think Garrett brings up a good point? Garret?

1024
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 2: Would you just say, I said.

1025
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 4: After you had that little ship grin, are you gonna

1026
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 4: take your pads off and get out of there like

1027
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 4: a b.

1028
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: Oh man? If that happened? I don't know, man, that

1029
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: that that Hey, Hey, what Aby did I do not

1030
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: agree with? Is that what you want to do? Is

1031
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: that how we do we want to transition in into

1032
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 1: talking about that.

1033
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: What was your reaction when you first saw it.

1034
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: When I first saw it, it was anger. I just,

1035
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like my man has gotten so

1036
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: many opportunities and chances to kind of re create himself

1037
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: in this league. And last year with the Bucks, it

1038
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,479
Speaker 1: seemed like hopeful, you know what I mean. It seemed

1039
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: like he you know, from what I've read, he stayed

1040
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady like you get people in your corner,

1041
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: like you're trying to rally around and help, you know,

1042
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: ab out because he had just gotten cut from the Patriots,

1043
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: had a lot of allegations coming out of New England,

1044
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: gotten cut with the Raiders. I have teammates that played

1045
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: with him, so I've heard stories as well about the

1046
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 1: type of you know, the type of stuff that happened here.

1047
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: And he had gotten traded from the Steelers. So he's

1048
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: getting another opportunity to do what he is incredible, and

1049
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 1: that's play football. I know he had a post recently

1050
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: saying like football doesn't define you or nothing, and he's

1051
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: right about that. He really like, he's right about that.

1052
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: This game doesn't define us, it doesn't do any of

1053
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: that stuff. But I felt like for where he was

1054
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: at in his career. What I had read like where

1055
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: he seemed to be at in his life because he

1056
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: just wanted to play football. That was in his video.

1057
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: He just wanted to play football, and he had another opportunity.

1058
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: Not nobody gets nine lives in this league like that.

1059
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: Nobody does, man, And to be that talented like him

1060
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 1: and to you hear everything, all the good stuff about

1061
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 1: him as a football player too, Like no, when he's

1062
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: practicing and playing like he cares about this game more

1063
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: than anybody on the field. He's somebody that takes his

1064
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: game extremely seriously. And I've seen like when he was

1065
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: working out with Josh Norman when Josh was on Washington.

1066
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: I would watch those videos and like, man, you know

1067
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: I'm following ab on Snapchat. I'm like, yo, this dude

1068
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: gets after it like he grinds. And you know that

1069
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: competitive side that everybody speaks to. I thought Ryan Clark

1070
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: spoke really well about him earlier today, and you just

1071
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: see that competitive nature and to get another opportunity to

1072
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: do that. You win a Super Bowl, you're kind of

1073
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: in a driver's seat to where I don't know if

1074
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: you're wanting another big contract. I don't know what the

1075
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: situation may be, but you're in a good spot to

1076
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: you know, control to rewrite who you are essentially, and

1077
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: to see that happen and to see like the sideline

1078
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: stuff unfold, uh with Mike Evans, and to see that

1079
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: a teammates trying to help you out, to listen to

1080
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: all the teammates the way everybody's talk on, you know,

1081
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: being compassionate and empathizing with them and all this and

1082
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: all this other stuff, and you know, hoping he gets,

1083
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: you know, the help that he needs. And I'm not

1084
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: sitting here saying or diagnosing him with some mental problem

1085
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I don't personally know him. I

1086
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: just know what I've seen, I know my experience in

1087
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I know what I what myself and

1088
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys would give. That you have all

1089
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: these different opportunities that he's gotten and he seems to

1090
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: want and just kind of take it, take it for granted,

1091
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: and essentially put give a middle finger to everybody on

1092
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: your team when you're leaving in that fashion, Like if

1093
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: you're upset and if it's something with it's injury related

1094
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: and you don't want to go in, don't go in.

1095
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: Wait until the end of the game and then hang

1096
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: him up after the game. You could do a retirement

1097
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: like that like Vontae Davis did if you don't want

1098
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: to play the game anymore, if you disagree with the

1099
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: with with the way that they were handling an injury.

1100
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: There's ways to deal with that as a professional, like

1101
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: as an adult, like you're a grown man, and to

1102
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: take off your pads and like have this scene and

1103
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: cause this scene and then start doing you know, like

1104
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: hyping up the crowd and smiling and leaving your team

1105
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: like when your team is out there on the field.

1106
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: I just thought, that's like a that's a clown move, bro,

1107
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: Like that's a classless move. And I think I reacted

1108
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: too much, too like more, you know, I wanted to

1109
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: make a few people laugh. Actually, now that i'm thinking about,

1110
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: I actually do want to delete take down my tweet

1111
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: that I had because I was like, you know, God

1112
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: gives the silliest battles to his biggest clowns. At the time,

1113
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's funny and everything else, but you chew

1114
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: it all in and take it in for a day,

1115
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, why exactly am I doing that?

1116
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: And outside of making people laugh and everything else, Like

1117
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: what if this dude is going through something. I don't

1118
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: know him, And I'm not usually somebody that like wants

1119
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: to shy away from anything I put out there. But

1120
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking about it and I was like, oh, man,

1121
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: I should just probably take that down. It was kind

1122
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: of like a reactive social social media thing that happened.

1123
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, dude, I think it's a I think it's

1124
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: a shit move on his part, man, and to just

1125
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: leave his to leave the boys like that, And I

1126
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: know it's like, you know, this is a game that

1127
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: takes from you. All they do is take from you.

1128
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: All they want you to do is for you know,

1129
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: get you out on the field as quick as possible.

1130
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: You don't fully know the extent of your injury all

1131
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: the time. They kind of keep it in the house.

1132
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: They kind of treat you wrong, like everyone knows this

1133
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: stuff about the NFL. And I'm with, you know, decide

1134
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: of thinking for yourself and being selfish at times and

1135
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: thinking selfishly. I mean, shit, we I'm on a podcast

1136
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: right now, podcasts that we that we built, Like I'm

1137
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: all about like self empowerment and everything like that and

1138
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: controlling your narrative and things, but I think you know

1139
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: to do that and he probably wasn't thinking about it.

1140
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: But it's just a big you know, it's just a

1141
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: big f you to all, you know, your teammates and

1142
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: everything else. Man to just kind of leave in the

1143
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: middle of a game like that, because I know people

1144
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: try putting their arm around them, they try helping him, Like,

1145
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to get into everything that

1146
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: I've kind of you know, who I've talked with and

1147
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but you just, you know, you hate

1148
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: to see that. And if it is something mental are

1149
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: something like mental health related, you do hope, you know,

1150
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: something happens and he gets the help that he needs.

1151
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: And again I'm not like trying to diagnose him and

1152
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: say that's what happened. I'm more of the I'm more

1153
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: on the stance of, like, dude, you've had so many

1154
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: opportunities and you continue to show yourself team in and

1155
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: team out with everywhere you've been like this. You know,

1156
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: this zebra isn't changing his stripes, and this dude continues

1157
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: to show us who he is. Why or why are

1158
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: we continuing to enable it? And why does everybody continue

1159
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: to feed into it? You know what I mean. I'm

1160
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of more like on that stance of it. But

1161
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: if there's something going on, like I do hope that

1162
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, he gets he gets help. Man, Like everybody

1163
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: obviously goes through their shit, and clearly something is off

1164
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: because that behavior was just insane. I've never seen anything like.

1165
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 2: I wish we could see the I wish we could

1166
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 2: see the Tom Brady chapter of this incident because he

1167
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 2: stuck his neck out for this dude over and over again.

1168
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Are you talking about a man in the arena?

1169
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like I want to hear from Tom

1170
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: about this.

1171
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know he had like he had a good message,

1172
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: and Tom is a great leader, and that was somebody

1173
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: when I was listening to his message. That's actually what

1174
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: made me think about the tweet that I had too

1175
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: in response to it all. But yeah, you can just

1176
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: tell by the way Tom talks and other people have spoke, like,

1177
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,439
Speaker 1: it's not like people are neglecting it and not trying

1178
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: to listen to him, you know what I mean. Like,

1179
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: I know, speaking with guys here who was around him,

1180
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: it seemed like he got really he would get outraged

1181
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: over the smallest stuff, the smallest things, and you know,

1182
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: and again like speaking on what Tom was saying, you

1183
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: can just tell by the way he's talking that he

1184
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: cares about the man. And uh, it's not like people

1185
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: haven't tried, you know, stepping in and listening and trying

1186
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: to see it probably from his point of view, and

1187
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: just stuff like that to like help the do, help

1188
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: to do along. And part of me hates even talking

1189
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: like that, Like let's just hypothetically say he's listening and

1190
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: nothing's wrong and he just wants to be this character

1191
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: that he's making, Like it's you're just kind of man,

1192
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I wish people would shut up about all the mental stuff.

1193
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: But you just you have no clue, right, Like I

1194
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: don't know him, Like I don't know what's going on.

1195
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: I just know from what I've seen from this dude

1196
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: year in and year out, and it's always it always

1197
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: ends up the same.

1198
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 2: He follows the pot on Twitter.

1199
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I know we had, I know we had reached out

1200
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: to him before a bout possibly getting him on. I

1201
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: want to say it was wasn't at the time when

1202
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: he was on the Raiders.

1203
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah, it was really after I think, uh,

1204
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 2: Darren Waller came on.

1205
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Darren Waller had that stuff to say about

1206
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: him too, and like, you know, it's not that again,

1207
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: you can tell that people do care and uh but yeah,

1208
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: I know, I I know we've exchanged dms or I

1209
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: know the profile has exchanged DMS with him and stuff

1210
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: like that. That'd be wild. He comes on, we gotta

1211
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: a a comp let's u let's let's look at this

1212
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: tweet you had. What do you mean by that? But no,

1213
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I always like, dude, somebody somebody was saying like, oh,

1214
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: it's it's big Ben's fault. I was like, bro, I

1215
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: gotta correct this thinking right now, like what makes you

1216
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 1: think this is somebody else's fault for the way this

1217
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: man is acting? Like I just think there's at some point,

1218
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: obviously everybody's gonna talk about being a professional. That's why

1219
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I think that there there's gotta be something going on

1220
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: because the behavior is bizarre. Right, He's acting out clearly,

1221
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: But if you are looking at it from an accountability standpoint,

1222
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: like at some point you got to be a pro

1223
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: about it. You got to understand the situation you're in

1224
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and understand that there's a time and place for it all.

1225
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: And not only that, but you've got to respect what's

1226
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: happening around you, like you're part of a team. I

1227
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: know we're all looking out for ourselves. I know we're

1228
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: all individual contractors, but we're still a part of a

1229
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: team who who sweats and does everything to try to

1230
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: get the same goal. That's the best part about the

1231
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: that's the best part about football is you have this

1232
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: melting pot of all these guys from different cultures, different

1233
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: walks of life and everything else, and it's all laid

1234
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: and sacrifice and put aside. Not that there's indifferences, but

1235
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: everything puts all that aside and goes after one common

1236
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: goal and we all you all bond that way and

1237
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: to be in the heat of the moment, act that

1238
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: way and do all this and throw a tantrum and

1239
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: hype up the crowd and do all that stuff. And

1240
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: it just disrespects what your teammates are putting into this

1241
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: thing because it means something to them. And everyone wants

1242
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: to see you still there, and you're acting like everyone's

1243
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: against you and nobody wants you a part of that

1244
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: team when you know that's false, Like you're just telling

1245
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: yourself that if that were to be the case. So yeah,

1246
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of those those are those are those are

1247
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of my thoughts on it. I hate it for

1248
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: the teammates and the guys who have to answer questions

1249
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: about it and everything else because they're a good football

1250
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: team who's going after the super Bowl and you want

1251
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: to limit distractions and everything else, And I just feel

1252
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: like you disrespected all that by it, by acting that way.

1253
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 2: Did you see uh did you see a Brooks Kapa

1254
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 2: get tweeted last night? No, he's a golfer, he tweeted

1255
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 2: a hot take. Ab will fight a Paul Brother before

1256
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 2: the year is over.

1257
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: Shit, man, at this, at this right the way the

1258
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: simulation out here is going right now, I wouldn't be

1259
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: surprised at that. Are they about the same size as

1260
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: a being? Uh? Jake about the same size.

1261
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: I think I think Jake might actually be a little bigger.

1262
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 2: He's definitely he definitely weighs more.

1263
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Because I know, yeah, yeah, I mean I wouldn't.

1264
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 2: But AB's also probably.

1265
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that's the thing, Like all this stuff happens,

1266
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: and he drops a song last night.

1267
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like he's clearly like okay.

1268
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: With this character he's created, calls himself super Grim one

1269
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: God damn it, dude, what are we doing out here?

1270
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Super grambling and drops a song and he's capitalizing on that.

1271
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: So the dude's clearly you know, he's all about getting bags.

1272
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised to seem in some celebrity

1273
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: celebrity boxing match.

1274
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 2: The moment's gonna live forever, though, Like, that's it. That's

1275
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 2: gotta be a top ten NFL High Jinks moment forever.

1276
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 3: This whole week, there was a lot of weird things

1277
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 3: that went on this week, just like it was a

1278
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 3: strange week.

1279
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: Oh dude, yeah, I feel like JP's about it.

1280
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm a fan. I liked it.

1281
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: You like the AB stuff?

1282
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, man, why not? What do you?

1283
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Why not? Let's hear let's hear the angle.

1284
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, I wish I could show you the angle. AB

1285
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 2: is a very close friend of mine and I.

1286
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: Actually, oh my god, what are we doing?

1287
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 4: Man?

1288
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 2: Just hang out? I don't know where, I don't know where.

1289
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,959
Speaker 2: We can can cut it in, blust, can cut it in. Yeah,

1290
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 2: you know A B.

1291
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 5: And I we worked out together one time down in Florida.

1292
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 5: And I'm not gonna say he talked about this moment,

1293
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 5: but no, I'm just kidding, but I was gonna say

1294
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 5: now breaking news.

1295
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding. I think it's I don't know.

1296
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 5: I mean I think a lot of people are taking

1297
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 5: it way more serious than they should.

1298
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: What do you mean by taking it serious?

1299
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just like he doesn't want to play football.

1300
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 5: He's not going to play football. I don't know why,

1301
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 5: Like everyone is up in arms.

1302
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Like you think, just let him walk? Yeah, are you surprised?

1303
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: I do, Yeah, why are we surprised? And like, yeah,

1304
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 2: it's his professionals, right, But who's walked out on a

1305
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 2: game before? Like one dude like that though, like across

1306
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 2: the field walked out on a game. Yeah, he's a

1307
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 2: better one guy that tried to do it.

1308
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: He's on Aboutvonte Davis to when he just tired at halftime.

1309
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: He just didn't want to play football anymore. And and

1310
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: if aby doesn't want to play football, then that's great.

1311
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: But like, and I think to your point of like

1312
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: people are making it super serious. Number one, it's a

1313
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: hot topic in the NFL. Like NFL is like the

1314
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: most popular sport. So and this dude is an elite

1315
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: athlete who's had a resume in timeline like he's had

1316
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: so of course it's going to be talked about like

1317
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: it's a huge spotlighted thing. Like it's like, you know,

1318
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Jake Paul being a boxer. It's like, I don't know

1319
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: why we're making such a big deal about it, So

1320
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: what does that mean? We just let them fight and

1321
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: nobody comments or says anything about it. Yeah, it's kind

1322
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: of like this dude does something like this and an

1323
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: actual like with this again, the entire story of it all,

1324
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: it's just insane. The dude like took off his pats,

1325
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: through his stuff and then was doing jumping Jack's hyping

1326
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: up the crowd leaving the Areada.

1327
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean like it's a like it's a spectacle.

1328
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 5: But I just don't think it's as serious as everybody

1329
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 5: is coming at it it.

1330
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get if the angle is, If the angle

1331
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: is it's just a game, like who cares? Then I

1332
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: guess like then yeah, because you're somebody that doesn't take

1333
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: it that serious, then I can see why it's not

1334
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 1: that serious. But if you're like a football fan and

1335
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: watching the game and keeping up with stuff, it's like

1336
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: this is a it's a I would say it's a

1337
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: pretty big story.

1338
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 2: I think it did. I think it lit the fire

1339
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 2: under Tom Brady.

1340
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 5: I think it's his bad news for everyone in the

1341
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 5: NFL because I think he's going to be like, hey,

1342
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 5: you know what, ab look what you missed out on.

1343
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm about to go get another ring man.

1344
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see you know how Tampa continues to

1345
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: go without god Win an a B because you know,

1346
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 1: they took over the middle of the field with those guys.

1347
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: It opened up everything else for him. So yeah, it'll

1348
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 1: be interesting. Hopefully we'll get some guys on in the

1349
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: offseason where we can we can talk through some of

1350
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: this stuff.

1351
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 2: To wrap that topic. Do you think we'll ever see

1352
01:09:58,880 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: a B in an NFL uniforming?

1353
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: I I don't think so. I guess the team could

1354
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: for minimum, right, Like at the end of the day,

1355
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: it's all about wins and losses and taking taking chances.

1356
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, you see every year Josh Gordon

1357
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: getting reinstated for all different stuff, so I guess you

1358
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: never know. But I I just don't think so, because

1359
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: clearly the root of the issue has never been fixed

1360
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 1: for anything. Like to me, I just think that there's

1361
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: some some uh some self awareness that he needs to

1362
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: that he needs to gain just in life in general.

1363
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: That's that's just that's just my opinion. Like I'm just

1364
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: trying to think if I was acting that way or

1365
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: anything else, and you blame or you create these stories

1366
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: in your head on the trainers are doing this or

1367
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: my injury was like, you know, there's clearly some uh

1368
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,600
Speaker 1: you know stuff you're just not taking into account or

1369
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: thinking about in a in a in a rooted way

1370
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: on why you're so affected by you know, acting that way.

1371
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: You want to Uh you want to jump to college football?

1372
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can hit college football, so Brad, what.

1373
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 2: I just figured they'd come up somehow, so we might

1374
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 2: as well just start with it. Uh, no college football

1375
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 2: for the weekend? You catch any Oh, I caught all

1376
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 2: of it. What'd you think?

1377
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: You went out with the shoot being quarantined with with COVID,

1378
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: there wasn't much to do. It's like you get out

1379
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 1: here in Vegas, like, first of all, the backers are

1380
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: going down. We're going down last week, uh with Vegas.

1381
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: And this was before the five day rule change happened

1382
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: with COVID, and Uh I came out here thinking like,

1383
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, shoot, I might be playing this weekend because

1384
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: that's how limited we were on the roster with backers.

1385
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: So I come back out sure enough, you know, start

1386
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,879
Speaker 1: to get start to get symptoms with COVID, test positive

1387
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: for COVID, and I'm out in Vegas after leaving you know,

1388
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: the family back home with all this stuff with my mom,

1389
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: and now I'm out here in Vegas like alone quarantine,

1390
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: like at the house, which obviously you can be in

1391
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: your own thoughts and lonely and shit like that. But

1392
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: I felt like Twitter in college football was help keeping me,

1393
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: keeping the spirits up, keeping me busy the whole time.

1394
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I caught everything. We can talk about it. Boys.

1395
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if I'm overthinking it right now,

1396
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: but right now I'm thinking about Jack and Garrett sitting

1397
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: that ready to talk about it, and you know, I

1398
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: feel like I'll have to admit a few things, and

1399
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'll be mad enough to do that

1400
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: for you boys.

1401
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 3: You kind of got lucky though, because me and Garrett's

1402
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 3: boys strength and conditioning coach of Michigan, so we were

1403
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 3: polling for the Big ten there. If we hadn't had him,

1404
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: it would have been. Yeah, bloodbath on Twitter from that

1405
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 3: Michigan Georgia game. But yeah, I mean it was fun

1406
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 3: watching all go down that.

1407
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 2: Uh. I don't know.

1408
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 3: I don't have much to say besides the preduy Tennessee game.

1409
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 3: It was heartbreaking. We always seem to get fucked in

1410
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 3: the Music City Bowl. It's kind of like another thing now,

1411
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 3: you know. The progress I feel like has got to change.

1412
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have too much to say

1413
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 2: about it.

1414
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 3: We've got a good uh, we've got a lot of hope,

1415
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 3: real hope for next year.

1416
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: So I'm okay.

1417
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 4: I think the the forward progress thing, like we all

1418
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 4: with the Nebraska Michigan game, how it does play a

1419
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 4: pretty big factor that.

1420
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 1: Fires me up. That you mentioned that, Gart, I do

1421
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: appreciate that because I was thinking about that too.

1422
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna get there somehow, because.

1423
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's better for it to come from you than

1424
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: for me just coming up with no. But that makes

1425
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: sense because I did think you guys are gonna come

1426
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: after me for the Michigan stuff, and not that I was.

1427
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I was surprised that you guys were coming

1428
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: after me at all for that. Uh, that Michigan just

1429
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: blood bath out there. But yeah, that makes sense. I

1430
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: forgot that. You guys, you have a coach friend that's

1431
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: a strength coach there. Yeah, yeah, bro, Tennessee game. Are

1432
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: you talking about Tennessee game?

1433
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? What'd you think of the calling a goal on?

1434
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was the right callid man, I'm just

1435
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: kidding honestly, Like it was funny because I would see

1436
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: people tweet at me and be like, hey, you know,

1437
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: do you really care about the other Big Ten teams

1438
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: or is this just like a like a front that

1439
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: you're putting on. They're really like outside, Like I wanted

1440
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: Michigan to win because you guys are right like everybody

1441
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: who was saying it too, like what matters is the

1442
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: college football playoff and everything else, And I wanted Michigan

1443
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: to win that. Like if we could have went, you know,

1444
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: had your guys' records starting off right now, you guys

1445
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: are basically essentially winning the important games, Like I would

1446
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: much rather that happen, but uh, just for the fun

1447
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: and everything else. Like I was rooting hard for every

1448
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: Big Ten team just because we started off undefeated and

1449
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe for Duke came back like y'all were

1450
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: murdering them in the first quarter and then they were

1451
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: coming back and I was like, oh, man, I know,

1452
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I knew was eating a jack. So that's kind of

1453
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 1: what fueled me, is just knowing, like, you know, I

1454
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: could just throw out a little jab or something like that,

1455
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: but that was a brutal call on the goal Lion.

1456
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. But of course I was like, oh,

1457
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: this is this. This helps me with the story I'm

1458
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: trying to write right now.

1459
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 2: Would you what about Cincinnati?

1460
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 1: You know they did better than Michigan's you know what

1461
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, yeah, people are both up these stats.

1462
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: People are pulling up these stats in the semi final

1463
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: on teams getting dusted by the SEC or like really,

1464
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: whoever is the number one team or really usually the

1465
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: number one team, but whoever the best team is, or

1466
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: usually wiping the hell out of whoever the four team is.

1467
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: And you know, Alabama, I'm a right from the get go.

1468
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 1: When they lined up and had the first player, You're like, oh,

1469
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: these boys are way bigger than Cincinnati's team. You kind

1470
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: of just knew what would probably happen. The only hope

1471
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: I kind of had with Cincinnati was just the fact

1472
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: that uh coach Fickles their head coach, and I know

1473
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: him like Rave I think was his best man at

1474
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: his wedding. Like I know their boys, So I'm like

1475
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: they probably run a ship similar they have, like because

1476
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 1: they coach with each other at Ohio State, and so

1477
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: I figured they kind of he kind of had the

1478
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: same philosophies and everything else. I'm like, these boys probably

1479
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: won't you know, fear Bama or nothing like that, and

1480
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: they'll probably do all the little things right and like

1481
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: do all the team keys, like all this stuff that

1482
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: I know very Abel preaches. So that was really the

1483
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: only hope I thought they had. Then when Bama ran

1484
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the ball the entire first drive and scored, I was like, oh,

1485
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: this is it isn't even going to be a game.

1486
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: And then you're just looking forward to the Michigan game.

1487
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: And then it's like, oh my god, dude, what are

1488
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: we doing out here? Just a brutal, brutal showing for

1489
01:16:58,600 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: anybody not in the SEC.

1490
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 2: Do you think we'll ever see another non power five

1491
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 2: team in the playoff again?

1492
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: I hope not.

1493
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 2: That is across the board that like this was okay, cool,

1494
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 2: you guys were cute with it, but like this can't

1495
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 2: this can't happen again.

1496
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, like this was a great experiment, like it was.

1497
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 1: It was fun, Like you know, it's a good little

1498
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: science class experiment that everybody had and putting this team

1499
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:24,759
Speaker 1: in and you got to kind of see the outcome.

1500
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: But everybody coming after Michigan for the same thing. It's like,

1501
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: you know, have rable bodybag tailor out there and said

1502
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: make it Uh what do you say? Make it too?

1503
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Two sheep? Yeah, Bro, that was hilarious. Yeah, I mean

1504
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Michigan didn't look. I just don't get it, man, I

1505
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: just don't get it because you.

1506
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 2: Think, do you think that.

1507
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 4: Michigan and Sincy like do you think that the losers

1508
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 4: in that should have to play so we know the

1509
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 4: real truth?

1510
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: I really would, I truly because I'm sitting there, I'm like,

1511
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: man would since he beat Michigan, Like you know, I'm

1512
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: asking that question now, like I'm not like I am

1513
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 1: blind and blind loyal to I act blindly loyal to

1514
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,560
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. But I'm sitting there, like would Cincinnati

1515
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: beat Michigan or was Michigan just not ready to play?

1516
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 4: That month break really affected Michigan the most because they

1517
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 4: had and then they had time to cool off and

1518
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 4: I mean, that's another discussion. I think that's way too

1519
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 4: long the time to play, but that's I think what

1520
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 4: got Michigan in the end.

1521
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a good point because I think number one,

1522
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: like they're younger than professional athletes. Imagine if we had

1523
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: a month break before playoffs started, like it would just

1524
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: be completely different teams from teams that are building momentum

1525
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: in December and going into the playoffs. It's kind of

1526
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 1: the same thing with like, I mean, they're younger their kids.

1527
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's a good point because even in

1528
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: the second half, like the second half was a good

1529
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: half of football. It's just there's no way Michigan was

1530
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: coming back because they were both playing defense against each

1531
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: other and everything else, and they kind of got you know,

1532
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: you wish that was a team that would have showed

1533
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: up in the first half. So at least it's it's closer.

1534
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: But uh but yeah, dude, I don't know, man. And

1535
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: then you got all these high scoring games like Ohio

1536
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: State and Utah and who else had I Who am

1537
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: I thinking of? That was an awesome game to watch.

1538
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: So they're just throwing bombs at the end and scoring

1539
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:25,799
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Purdue.

1540
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 2: Oh that one too.

1541
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were throwing bombs over bag dead too and

1542
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: just scoring at will. But that's kind of my uh

1543
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: my college football take. Big Ten started strong in the

1544
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: games that you know, they don't they definitely didn't matter.

1545
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: But if Big Ten's winning those games in January, those

1546
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: records look damn good for the boys in the Big Ten.

1547
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: If we were going like, you know, one loss, like

1548
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: if Rutgers would have been the only team that lost

1549
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: that lost because the Penn State Arkansas was a good game.

1550
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: The Kentucky Iowa was a good game. So if you like,

1551
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: gut those out obviously makes for just you know, better,

1552
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 1: better firepower. But when we started losing those games and

1553
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: I got back to my phone and saw that Penn

1554
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: State fell and Iowa fell, and everyone's just falling, dude,

1555
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I got nothing against these boys.

1556
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: The SEC has got it, man, they got it for

1557
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: another year and there's nothing I can do. And both

1558
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: the SEC teams are playing for the Natty.

1559
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

1560
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: More.

1561
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 2: Things I wanted to get on, one of them being

1562
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 2: Matt Correll goes down in the Sugar Bowl and there's

1563
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 2: obviously a conversation about opting out. Kirk curb Street was

1564
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 2: quoted saying, this era of player just doesn't love football anymore.

1565
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on players opting out from these

1566
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 2: bowl games if they're guys who have a clear future

1567
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 2: in the league.

1568
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you're a first rounder, it's kind

1569
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: of hard to opt into playing in these games. I

1570
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: do kind of get it from that standpoint. I know myself, like,

1571
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 1: if I'm getting back in my brain in Nebraska, there's

1572
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: probably no way I'm ever like opting out of playing

1573
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: because you're just so you know about the team and

1574
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: everything else. I'm not saying that that's that's not what

1575
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 1: that's what it shouldn't be about. I'm just saying the

1576
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: perspective that I have now on how the big business

1577
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: of college football works and the big business of the NFL.

1578
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: And you know how your body is your business when

1579
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,679
Speaker 1: you leave college, Like your body's what's gonna make give

1580
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: you another year in the NFL, depending on how you

1581
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: take care of it. I guess running backs, you kind

1582
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: of see how they're utilized now and you don't really

1583
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 1: need a running back for that long and the tread

1584
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: on the tire kind of wears off quick, So you know,

1585
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: are you wanting to put over one hundred two hundred

1586
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: however many carriers running backs get in college, are you

1587
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: wanting to put another year on that? And if you're

1588
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: healthy and you're gonna be in a you're gonna be

1589
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: a first rounder or a second rounder. Why would you

1590
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: risk carrying the ball more, putting more on the legs

1591
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: and risking an injury? Like the kid from Ole Miss

1592
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm drawing a blank with his name. It's Matt Correll, right, yeah, yeah,

1593
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: with Matt Krall, Like Jalen Smith. I know, he was

1594
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: a linebacker that came out from Notre Dame. He was

1595
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: a huge injury. I mean, look, look what's happened with him.

1596
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 1: He kind of can't run that well anymore. That's kind

1597
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: of been what people say about Jalen. But had he

1598
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: not had that nerd had that nerve damage and that

1599
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: huge knee surgery coming out of college, like, who knows

1600
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: where he'd be now. But it's tough, man, because I

1601
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: definitely understand both sides. But if I'm going to be

1602
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: pro player, Uh, you you've definitely got to look at,

1603
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: uh this new era of kids opting out, you know,

1604
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: their senior year, junior year, like if they're if they're

1605
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: going to be selected high in the draft, because that

1606
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: is the best that is in the best interest of

1607
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: that kid, that's in the best interests of their body,

1608
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 1: that's in the best interests of their them As a business,

1609
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: that's in the best interest of everything else, because you

1610
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: see it with coaches, you see with you know, these

1611
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: organ these schools and everything else. Like it's all big business, dude,

1612
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: And you know, I understand people wanting the players to

1613
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: play and it's honorable and everything else, but dude, honor

1614
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: doesn't get you paid. Honor doesn't doesn't get you more

1615
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: years in the league. Honor doesn't get you any of

1616
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,560
Speaker 1: that stuff other than like this is a great and

1617
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: tangible to have, you know. Yeah, it makes me think

1618
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: about and another another Uh, what'll be interesting too, is

1619
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: like the mid round kids mid round, Like if you're

1620
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted, for sure, but you'd be a mid

1621
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: round and lower round, like you know, you'll have kids

1622
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: wanting to play because they want to up their stock

1623
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: in a big game, right. I know we're talking about

1624
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: Matt Crall and Ole Miss, so you have enough tape

1625
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: of him against SEC talent, but maybe you have these lower,

1626
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: these smaller schools where you know, kids want to show

1627
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: against better competition. So I think it'll be a new

1628
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 1: thing with college athletes opting out of games, but I

1629
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: also don't. I also don't think it'll be as big

1630
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 1: as what everyone's seen seems to be making of it,

1631
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I think it'll just

1632
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of be the new norm, like, hey, this kid

1633
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't play this Matt Crowle example be the example. Examples

1634
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: used from a will be the example used for agencies

1635
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: and agents trying to recruit kids and trying to talk

1636
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,839
Speaker 1: kids out of it. And I think coaches and teams

1637
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: will have to communicate and just have conversations about it

1638
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: and just understand each side of it. And if a

1639
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: coach really has their players' best interest at heart, I

1640
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: think these kids who are gonna get drafted high, the

1641
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: best thing for them is to not play the game

1642
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: because they have a they have a future in a

1643
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: career uh to look out for and not to mention,

1644
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,959
Speaker 1: you know, things that you're not even thinking about. Family

1645
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: that you'll probably that these kids will be having one day,

1646
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:45,719
Speaker 1: and everything else that's gonna set you up for life

1647
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: after football. So yeah, that's that's kind of my take

1648
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:50,720
Speaker 1: on it.

1649
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 2: Coaches perspectives got to come into that too, right, because

1650
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 2: they probably got performance bonuses attached to winning bowl games,

1651
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 2: whether they're a college football playoff game or not. Like fans,

1652
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 2: fans I think will obviously be the last ones to

1653
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 2: understand something like that, but you would expect like teammates

1654
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 2: to understand it, I guess. But coaches then it's tied

1655
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 2: to money all of a sudden two for them.

1656
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I mean you got incentive. You got

1657
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: incentives in there with coaches because you get a few

1658
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars bonus if you win a bowl game.

1659
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: And so it's in the coaches that's interest to have

1660
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: all their best players playing. But again from that now

1661
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: there might be new negotiations and new new language and

1662
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 1: contracts for coaches with this new era of what athletes

1663
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: might be doing, so that way they don't have to

1664
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: depend on stuff like that. And again, man, if you're

1665
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: if you're a coach, is trying to self serve, I

1666
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: think it'll it'll be it'll it'll be seen and the

1667
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,799
Speaker 1: player will know that and not you know, care anyway,

1668
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, bro. I think it's it's all

1669
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: about what that that person's about. If you're a coach

1670
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: and you're about, I really am about the best interests

1671
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: of players, then you know the answer is pretty clear.

1672
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 1: And if you go against that, you kind of know

1673
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: like it's it's all self serving, Like that's all everybody's

1674
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: trying to do. Anyway, we have a do you guys

1675
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 1: have anything to add to that? I have one more

1676
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: topic that I want to throw it will.

1677
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:23,680
Speaker 4: I have a question going on the kids opting out

1678
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 4: and stuff going towards coaches. What about the coaches that

1679
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 4: just bail before a bowl game, or bail before a

1680
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 4: playoff game, or bail before a national championship, Like.

1681
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 2: That's kind of bullshit making a decision enough.

1682
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 4: He should not be like once business got involved, it

1683
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 4: changed everything, and the players should not be hounded for

1684
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 4: not like like what you're saying, like thinking about the

1685
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 4: future if coaches are doing it, like that's the coach.

1686
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're telling Meanwhile, you're telling all your other

1687
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 2: students who are not athletes, like hey, you should be

1688
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 2: preparing for the future and everything. And then exactly now

1689
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna tell the student athlete, he's got to suck

1690
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: it up and play. Yeah, I mean, well, to your point,

1691
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,760
Speaker 2: there's got to be some sort of like I mean,

1692
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 2: letters and intent will probably look different for that type

1693
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 2: of stuff now too.

1694
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you already see the transfer portal and

1695
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: everything else. The way kids can jump ship like everyone us.

1696
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Like when a kid does something, you know you have,

1697
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 1: whether it's backlash or support, there's kind of a still

1698
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: a mixed bag. I think it's trending more towards everybody

1699
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,759
Speaker 1: understanding that, oh, this is a business, like these players

1700
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 1: do need to look out for themselves. I think that's

1701
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 1: like where the meters going. And for people that you

1702
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: know are quick to react or upset, they're obviously just

1703
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 1: wanting their team to win, like they're wanting their colors

1704
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: to win. They're wanting you know, their team, pride and

1705
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 1: everything else to prevail and win. And then when somebody

1706
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: gets in an argument with them, the first, uh, the

1707
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: first action step is usually comparing it to a coach.

1708
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's just something that kind of comes

1709
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 1: with it anyway, because I do agree, I mean, looking

1710
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: at from that standpoint, the coaches, if we're looking like, oh,

1711
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: the players should play for the coach because the coach

1712
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 1: is saying X, Y and Z like that is bullshit.

1713
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: Like coaches do jump ship. You see with Brian Kelly,

1714
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 1: you saw Lincoln Riley this year. They're great examples. Like

1715
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: you know, you saw the one coach. Was it Georgia

1716
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: or Alabama where the coordinator's still staying there until he

1717
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,560
Speaker 1: goes and takes over the head job at Oregon? I

1718
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: think it might be, Uh, it might be Georgia's DC,

1719
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: I think, but you do see coaches. You see coaches

1720
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: doing that, Like there's examples everywhere. But yeah, if you're

1721
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: marrying it up to these guys, should you know, lay

1722
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: it on the line for their team and their coaches

1723
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: and everybody who's counted them for four years. It's dude,

1724
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 1: it's big business man, and it's just the unfortunate reality

1725
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: of just capitalism in the world that we live in

1726
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: and how we've kind of created this product of college football.

1727
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same with the pros and everything else.

1728
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:55,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's looking out for their future and you can't discredit

1729
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,680
Speaker 1: anybody doing that. You can't discredit coaches doing that, you

1730
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 1: can't discredit players doing that. I think the coaching example

1731
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 1: is just easy to use to help people like, you know,

1732
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 1: vibe with a player doing it because sometimes these you know,

1733
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 1: coaches obviously get attacked. People act like coaches are out

1734
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: there saying, well coaches, there are some coaches doing it.

1735
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: But like has Brian Kelly been has Brian Kelly been

1736
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: seen or been caught saying like these kids need to

1737
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 1: stay and play in the bowl games? Or these coaches

1738
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 1: who have jumped ship and left and went elsewhere, Not

1739
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:31,720
Speaker 1: that I know of. Who's the weird dude from uh

1740
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:35,799
Speaker 1: he he coached at Texas Tech and Utah State. Maybe

1741
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Mike Leach Michaea another.

1742
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, another close friend that you cannot speak poorly about.

1743
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 1: But Mike Leached, I think he came out and said

1744
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 1: these players need to be playing a Bowl games. And

1745
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 1: somebody's like, yeah, just like when you left them this

1746
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:54,920
Speaker 1: year and that year and that year. It's you know,

1747
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 1: it's at the end of the day, man, you gotta

1748
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: you gotta, you know, be what's what's your best interest,

1749
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: especially in the business of athletics, and you know in

1750
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 1: the corporate world too, like everyone's pretty much kind of

1751
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 1: out for themselves and in that business because when you

1752
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 1: get cut or anything else, Like nobody cares what happens, right,

1753
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: It's just business. How you can't take it personal. It's

1754
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: just business, And so athletes need to kind of you

1755
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 1: start to empower themselves out that way and trend that way.

1756
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: And I think with that like will become you'll be

1757
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 1: seeing new language and contract negotiations and everything else. And

1758
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 1: like you said, like let her intent to look a

1759
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: little bit different and the transfer port, with the transporport

1760
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: and everything else, it's it's definitely gonna be a different

1761
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 1: a different era of college football. And you know these

1762
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 1: kids won't you know, like uh, Kirkirbs, you said, love it,

1763
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,120
Speaker 1: love ball as much. Just you know they're awake to

1764
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 1: a lot more stuff.

1765
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 2: You're right by the way that uh that defensive coordinator

1766
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 2: is Dan Lanning from Georgia going to Oregon next year

1767
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 2: to be the head coach. Yeah.

1768
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was really cool. When we were watching

1769
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 1: that game he was coaching them. They did a little

1770
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 1: did a little snippet on him saying, you know he's

1771
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 1: staying and coaching through trying to win the national championship

1772
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 1: and he'll get to Oregon like after the season's over.

1773
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was. I thought that was pretty cool.

1774
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 2: The last thing I wanted to get to before we

1775
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 2: wrap is, uh, this dude Hunter Anthony committing to Nebraska

1776
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 2: full pads and hear your boy and his commitment photo.

1777
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 2: What do you have to say about that? Oh?

1778
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 1: Man, dude, if you're a running back, do you want

1779
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 1: that dude blocking for you? I know, I'm just I

1780
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: know I'm immediately reacting and I don't know how good

1781
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: the kid is or not done. I think you can't

1782
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma State. But as far as like the the

1783
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: toughness factor, the grit factor, the you know, looking like

1784
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 1: you don't look at that photo and think, oh, Nebraska

1785
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,760
Speaker 1: is a football factory. You think, what the hell is

1786
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 1: going on? Why this is why these boys are three

1787
01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: and nine? We got that dude spread eagle or we're

1788
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 1: talking sack on the floor dude. And the photographer there's

1789
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: a photographer there that's taking a picture. I think I

1790
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 1: was talking with JP and JP's like yeah, photographer had

1791
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: to say, hey man, this is fire, Like what are

1792
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 1: we doing? And when that happens, as a photographer needs

1793
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 1: say hey man, we we ain't doing that, or you

1794
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 1: need to go tell the coach like, hey, we need

1795
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 1: to pull this skllie.

1796
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 2: That's big ten football. Baby. Why don't you like it?

1797
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: I like it.

1798
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 2: I'm jealous. I saw it.

1799
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: I know you like it. It seems like you like it, Alex,

1800
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:30,640
Speaker 1: like you hit the splits.

1801
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 2: If you want to, I would impress you to tell

1802
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 2: me what that means. But okay, but my question is,

1803
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 2: how is this any different than your Peaky Blinders haircut?

1804
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 1: Oh? Come on, are we talking about peaky blindes. We're

1805
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 1: talking about gang stuff, bro, We're talking killing. We're talking

1806
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 1: mob stuff. We're talking selling liquor and alcohol and dealing

1807
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: with guns, not doing splits, not doing splits in the

1808
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: ballet and everything else. There's nothing wrong with that stuff. Man.

1809
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to Uh, I'm just trying to juice

1810
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,640
Speaker 1: the entertainment factor for busting with the boys. Subscribing rate

1811
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 1: five stars. If you guys are watching right now, go

1812
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 1: ahead and leave a comment. I hope the kids are

1813
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: hell of an athlete. I hope he. I hope he

1814
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: blocks his way, you know, blocks us to a national championship.

1815
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 1: But my first thought was, like, Hey, what the what

1816
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 1: the fuck are we doing? Like like I was saying,

1817
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:19,640
Speaker 1: like I was saying we got in the deed the

1818
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:21,719
Speaker 1: glory written somewhere in there. I know all the quotes

1819
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 1: written around that building, dude, And we got somebody fully

1820
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 1: geared in a Husker in Husker gear bro. We're in

1821
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,360
Speaker 1: the inn on their helmet hitting the full splits, thinking

1822
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 1: it's cool.

1823
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:32,639
Speaker 2: What's the deed.

1824
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: In the glory?

1825
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,080

1829
01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 6: Oh man, no, you're right due, that's so funny.

1830
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got me, you got me. We get to

1831
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 1: the point where I talk myself into all these corners

1832
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 1: and there's nothing to do other than being like, hey,

1833
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:09,519
Speaker 1: I'm just fucking around, just having a silly goose times

1834
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: as Deleah would say. But dude, we're trying to recruit.

1835
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,720

1836
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: me me being like that from the bus. I'm good

1837
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: with everything I've done in my career and everything else. Like,

1838
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get dudes to be on my team.

1839
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: If I was, I probably I'll probably carry myself a

1840
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:28,799
Speaker 1: little bit differently.

1841
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 2: What about us though? We don't want to be associated

1842
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 2: with something like that, think of us. Yeah, i'd be selfish.

1843
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's so funny, dude, Alex. Why do you like it.

1844
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 2: Because we're talking about it?

1845
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,680
Speaker 1: Oh, they take it easy, man, take it easy. I'm

1846
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 1: just said you said you were with it.

1847
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm saying I like it because it

1848
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 2: generated a lot of conversation. That's why I like it.

1849
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, for sure. And he's just staying in

1850
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:01,920
Speaker 2: front of the building. We don't talk about this, you

1851
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,040
Speaker 2: don't tweet it. It doesn't go on the on the

1852
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,559
Speaker 2: radar for us to talk about. We don't get it. Instead,

1853
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 2: I know exactly who Hunter Anthony is.

1854
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, that's true. I like it. If he gets

01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: easy and il deals, I might need to cut We

1856
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 1: might need to get him on bus with the boys

1857
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: to talk about it. I wouldn't mind doing that, all right,

1858
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 1: getting them on the bus and just be like, hey, like,

Speaker 1: photos that this dude posted? And I'm kind of laughing

1865
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 1: about it. At first. I mean, I was laughing about

1866
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 1: the whole time, but I didn't really think nothing else

1867
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: of it. And then I get people texting me like, hey,

1868
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,799
Speaker 1: how you been other than other than allowing your school

1869
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: to have recruits doing the splits and taking photos of

1870
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 1: themselves or saving your school on Twitter, or you know.

1871
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 2: I had a became about you. That's what this was.

1872
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:02,760
Speaker 2: It all came back to.

1873
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 1: So it comes, it comes back, and then I get

1874
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:11,640
Speaker 1: h I get a buddy of mine, COVANOI. He texts me.

1875
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 1: He's just blowing me up about it. He's like, what

1876
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: is this? What is Nebraska doing? Like this is why

1877
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:19,759
