This is 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: our podcast. You guys. We are here in New York 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: looking forward the preseason action in training camp. But we 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: just got back from Kenton, Ohio, our first trip here 32 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: as a team. We had a we're on Instagram Live high. 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: We had an interesting travel to get there. We should 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: just start there. Mine wasn't interesting, you guys better take 35 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: it away. We just took us forever to get there. 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: So we got to the airport around eleven thirty and 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: our flight is that two. So then we're chilling, relaxing. Basically, 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: rain delay, rain delay, rain delay. We didn't get to Cleveland. No, 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: we got to Akron at around eleven o'clock at night 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: and we came strolling in and we had a show 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: three hours later, three hours later. Loved it. It's really 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: fresh our buddy Kyle Brand, who came in from LA, 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: was sending us, you know, pictures of his incredible flight. Yeah. 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: I took a flight from Saint Louis Obispo, which is 45 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: in central Cali, also known as San Louser abysmal that's 46 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: what people call it, and they do call it that 47 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: on the radio. And then I flew from LA to 48 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: a Cleveland of all things. This kind of a strange experience. 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: Our boss, Mark Quinzelf and the NFL network was seated 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: right behind me. That's always come to me. Yeah, So 51 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: I have my phone out and then like, you know, 52 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: to go with that browser history every day we did, 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: and then the flight attendant comes by like would you 54 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: like wine, sir? And I'm like, I feel a little 55 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: guilty about it, you know, And then they come by, 56 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: would you like just top it off? I'm sorry. It 57 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: was like the boss was over shoulder. Obviously Quinze was 58 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: like totally chill about that. But I've never had that experience. Look, 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: we spent three hours together every day. We actually spent 60 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: like five hours all the meetings and stuff. But Kay 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: and I bond did like never before. Because you're stuck 62 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: in LaGuardia with no end in sight for eight hours. 63 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: We were legitbally in the world. It was the worst. 64 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: What is it called the Gates Terminal terminal airport and 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: it was the worst. I've cried my brains out before 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: we were on this flight because I know that Luardi 67 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: is a Delta terminal. We took a different airline and 68 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: there's one gate and not even a customer service rap. 69 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: Of course we're delayed. There's no one to speak to, 70 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: no answers, and guys, I got to know you really well. 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: Kay was offering random people like water, like very A 72 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: woman was cross really crying. A woman was crying at 73 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: the gate and I'm like, all right, let's not be 74 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: so dramatic.

But this was like sentimental 167 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: moment when we saw some little kid and the dad, 168 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: and the little kid was so interested in like the 169 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: dad was telling him about Joe Montana and I know, 170 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: it's so story about this is what the Hall of 171 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: Fame wants to say. But Burls and I were watching 172 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and it was like, pretty cool. I hope my son, 173 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: my son's nine months, I hope I hope that he 174 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: and I have a shared interest in something like that 175 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: where I could say, oh, you know, this is the 176 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: story and the kid being all ears on it. Yeah, 177 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: And it was. It was the kid who was yelling 178 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: out not the most popular names, like he was looking 179 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: at it and point out saying dad, dad, look, and 180 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: he was pointing out guys that we don't even talk 181 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: about normally on TV. So it was one of those 182 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: moments that kind of hit hit home. When you guys 183 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: were looking for bust to stump Streger, we were looking 184 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: at little kids and their fathers in these very like 185 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: sincere moments like Hallmark moments almost but what a weekend 186 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: thought look For me, it was it was everything all 187 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: in one, Like I just remember looking at KB throughout 188 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: the week, and every so often I look at him, 189 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: his eyebrows is touching his hairline because he's blown away, 190 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: like and I knew what he was thinking forehead. It 191 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: was almost like I can't believe we're here. I can't 192 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: believe these legends of the game are talking to us, 193 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: and I can't believe that we're getting paid to do this, 194 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: because I was thinking the same thing. We went from 195 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: having the show, which was great, having celebs on and 196 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: these superstars and Hall of Famers on, to going to 197 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: the dinner where the jackets were actually given to these guys, 198 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: seeing LT just all in tears, and then like last men, 199 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: getting getting an invite to Jerry Jones's party, like hey, 200 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: we got tickets, are you guys coming, And we're like, yeah, 201 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: hell yeah, we're coming, and it was like one of 202 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: the best parties I've ever been to. And then we 203 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: show up the next day and we host a parade, 204 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: which was crazy because if you think about the concept 205 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: of a parade, all right, guys, it's gonna be floats 206 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: downtown Canton, Ohio, and Hall of famers are gonna ride 207 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: by in vehicles and you can't stop them. They're just 208 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna ride by and people are waving Yo. Yeah. We 209 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: got out there to three stooges and it was complete 210 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: chaos for the parade. Every chance he got it looked 211 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: like he stopped the parade. Honestly, didn't think I would 212 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: have that much fun being a foreign player. Sometimes these 213 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: things can be boring. And I went to All of 214 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: Fame when I was with the Browns briefly and it 215 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: was really cool, but that was it. It was like, 216 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: really cool. This past weekend was amazing. It's so cool 217 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: to hear that, because here's how I look at it. 218 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: The end, the Super Bowl is everyone and their mother 219 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: and every celebrity, and you're in the lobby and it's 220 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: a Who's Who whatever, and it's glitz and glamour, and 221 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: there's a direct TV party one night, in the Maximum 222 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: party next and there's six thousand people and the Chain 223 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Smokers are performing in a stadium. And then there's the Draft, 224 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: which is a little bit more contained but still massive. 225 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: It takes over a city. It's all this thing. Then 226 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: there's the Combine, which is almost like the inside of 227 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: the inside of just the reporters, like and the people 228 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and there's this thing. We're staying at 229 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: a you know, an economy rate hotel. There's no h 230 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, downtown that we're really doing. There's no whatever. 231 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: And it was awesome. It was maybe my favorite thing 232 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: we've done. And I and I had not low expectations, 233 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: but I certainly didn't go in there thinking I was 234 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: gonna have more smiles, more laughs, more interactions than I 235 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: did at any of those other events. And you know, 236 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: the moment that sticks out for me is that we're 237 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: sitting there at the you know, gold Jacket ceremony and 238 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: it's it's we're sitting there, we're all in front of it, 239 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: and they're giving Tomlinson his thing. And to my left 240 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: is Steve mary Yuchi, who's of a different generation, and 241 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: he's crying over Tomlinson. To my right is Kyle Kay 242 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: and Nate Uh. You know, at this point my best 243 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: friends like that I've worked with at very least and 244 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: you guys are all emotional. I look throughout the room 245 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: and it's just my childhood of like Montana and Marino 246 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: and Young and all those guys. But then my father's 247 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: generation of Paul Horning and Jim Taylor, Ji Jim Brown, 248 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: and it's like football history in one room. And so 249 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: you can have your I don't know who you want 250 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: to even say, you can have your you know, red 251 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Hot Chili Peppers concert with six thousand people and the 252 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: sponsors and the agents and oh, this guy works at 253 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: WME and this one's at CIA, and this is so cool. 254 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: This guy's got a new marketing that was all cut out. 255 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: It was like they cut the fat from everything and 256 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: it was just gold Jackets and us. So it's like 257 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: we were almost flies on the wall weekend. I don't 258 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: know what to expect from that at all. I never 259 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: didn't even know it was televised that Gold Jackets ceremony, 260 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: and I got to sit next to Kyle and you guys, 261 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, CAP can be pretty animated.

It came out of nowhere. I was 294 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: getting goosebumps just because how he longed. Who's great, but 295 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: like he's on TV all the time. It's not like 296 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: unique to see how he longed. But yet with the music, 297 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: the jacket and the ceremony, and I freaked out. They're 298 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: walking solo down that aisle. It's their moments and they 299 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: say things like eight pro bowls and like god, these 300 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: guys are there like gods. They're like the Greek gods 301 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: that and you're bowing down. I was so reverent, and 302 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: the goosebumps, I'm coming back now. I was like one 303 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: of the coolest things I've done. Also were like, he 304 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: looks really good. They all looked good. Wine, everybody's dressed up, 305 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: and there was like moment after moment and Warren Buffett 306 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: did a duet with Paul and that that was a 307 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: little It's crazy. And then like the moment that really 308 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: brought it all together was when the new Hall of 309 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: Famers were walking through the gauntlet of Hall of Famer 310 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: and there shaking hands and they're looking at each other's eyes, 311 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: and I remember just watching LT and he's shaking and 312 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: LT hugged everybody. He didn't like skip a hand or 313 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: try a big timmy body. And then he got to 314 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: Jim brand. I'm just looking at two guys that defined 315 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: the generation they played football in. It was a just 316 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: a powerful moment. I feel like if that were you, 317 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: you would have crowdsurfed that car. I might have. I 318 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: know I would have been crying, like I got so 319 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: emotionally even watching it. It's the the phrase get storm 320 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: around too much.

Yeah, the 485 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: guy who she wanted to pick came out and before 486 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: before its roses. I want to stop this. I'm not 487 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: ready for this myself. I can't propose to you in 488 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: good faith. I need a couple an a little more time. 489 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: I just don't feel week the audience knews she wanted 490 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: to pick. Yes, everyone knew she wanted Peter and him, 491 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: and he said, I know we're on a reality show. 492 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: I just I'm not ready for this yet. I do 493 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: love you. I just I can't in good faith get 494 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: on a knee. And she chose the other guy. She said, Okay, 495 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: if you're not committed to me, then I need to 496 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: go with a different route. I'm gonna go to first 497 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: runner up. Well we don't know if she was definitely 498 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna pick them, but everyone the fan favorite was Peter 499 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: and he basically said I need more time. He broke 500 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: the fourth wall. He broke the fourth wall and he 501 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: was like, I just I'm not ready. So, Kyle, if 502 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: that's a conversation topic, yeah, what's your input. Peter, stop 503 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: testing me. I don't want to be testing this. No, um, 504 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: I don't listen. I have a whole take that I 505 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: don't watch The Bachelor. I watched The Bachelor because I 506 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: think it's far more entertaining for a bunch of reasons. 507 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: The Bachelor is one dude with like thirty women. It's 508 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: a lot more eye candy for me. I like that, 509 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: and there's a lot more personalities. I've watched the batchelor 510 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: Rette and it's like a frat house. Are as much 511 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: of dude sitting around, they get along their friends. I'm 512 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: not into that, So I don't watch the batchlor I 513 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: watched the Bats or come at me then, okay, I 514 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: don't might be a topic looking at things that are trending. 515 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm not testing you. I'm good, thank you, I'll be ready, 516 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: I'll be excited. That's at nine am, so you know, 517 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: during commercials and Good Morning Football where we're talking, we're 518 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: just watching. I'm watching it. Just watch, Kyle, No watch 519 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: come back to us Thursday. We're stoked for you.

I might not be on set nine to 522 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: ten in that room, Kyle grabbing up Hall of Fame weekend, 523 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: though we did. You guys got to talk to Kurt Warner. Yeah, 524 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: oh that was awesome. Legends, Kurt Warner, James Lofton, Sean Merriman, 525 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: who else joined us. So the morning of his induction, 526 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: we got to sit down with them, and you know what, 527 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: it was so good. Let's listen to the interview last 528 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: night you got the jacket. Can you take us through 529 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: what that experience was like? You know, I mean every 530 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: part's been surreal in different ways. Um, but last night 531 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: was so cool because you know, they put you up 532 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: on that little stage or little podium and you're just 533 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: looking down as they're doing whatever and introducing you, and 534 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: you're looking down and you're seeing all these great players 535 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: and guys that you know, Marshall and Orlando were there, 536 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: of course who played with me, but then guys you 537 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: know when you're a part of like the Rams organization, 538 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: and jack Young buds there, and Jackie Slater's there, and 539 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson's there, and then you know, you give Dan 540 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: Marino a hug on I mean, it's just it's a 541 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: who's who of our game, you know, in the history 542 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: of our game, and you're you're seeing them and and 543 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: you're walking through those guys and giving them a hug. 544 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: And I still can't figure out how I fit in 545 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: this mix. But I mean it was so cool. You have. 546 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: Tony Door said, I was a Cowboys fan growing up, 547 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: so when I saw him, all I could think was 548 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: that ninety nine yard touchdown on Monday Night football. I 549 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: mean so, but that's what I did, is I walked 550 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: down and saw all these guys, I saw them in 551 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: their uniforms and remembered the impact that they had on 552 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: me growing up and how they kind of fired me 553 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: up and let that flame for for this game, and 554 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: so just just an incredible moment. Uh. It's great to 555 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: go in with a couple of my colleagues uh in 556 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: LT and TD and and spend the week with them. 557 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: But it's uh, it's just been incredible from a lot 558 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: of different standpoints. You know. One of the things we 559 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: always talk about is your story, and we say you 560 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: couldn't script a better story than this. I know you 561 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: hear it over and over again and you're more familiar 562 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: with your own story than anybody. But what were those 563 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: moments like when you were on the brink of walking 564 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: away or giving up? I mean, for those sitting at home, 565 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: it might be dealing with something completely different than actual 566 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: sports and they're saying, you know what, I had enough, 567 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: I want to go a different direction. What makes you 568 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: stick with it? Well, there's there's a couple of things 569 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: that I have answered the question a few times this week, 570 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: is that, you know the hardest part it is you 571 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: come to those moments, those forks in the road where 572 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: this path is going to lead at least you think 573 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: towards your dream. And then there's the other path when 574 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: you start thinking, Okay, I have a wife, I have kids. 575 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: You know, how long can I drag them on this 576 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: path chasing my dream where it's not a detriment to what, 577 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, what your long term you know, family life 578 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: looks like. And then there's the other side of it 579 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: that says, but my passion is still over here. If 580 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: I don't chase my passion, where am I going to 581 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: be ten years from now, fifteen years from now when 582 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: I am sitting on my couch watching somebody else play 583 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: going And if I would have just tried, I could 584 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: have been you know, and you never want to be 585 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: that guy. So at the end of the day, it 586 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: really came down to as long as I was passionate 587 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: about it, as long as I felt I could take 588 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: care of my family, even though maybe it wasn't always 589 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: the way they wanted to or I wanted to. As 590 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: long as I felt I could do that, I just said, 591 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: as long as this passion's here, I had to. And 592 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: the different thing for me was that. You know, for 593 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: some guys, they get opportunities and their opportunity doesn't work out. 594 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: The biggest thing for me was I never really got 595 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: an opportunity, and so it wasn't like, oh, I had 596 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: it and I blew it, and so I could walk 597 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: away going well, at least I had my shot, and 598 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: I didn't make it work. I never got one, and 599 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: so that was the hardest part was I'm like, I 600 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: just can't walk away believing I can do this until 601 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: I get a shot. The problem was, you know, you're 602 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty six, you're twenty seven. You're like, okay, maybe I'm 603 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: not gonna get that shot, and that became the hardest part. 604 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: But that was the thing, and I think that kept 605 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: me going was I hadn't proven that I couldn't do it. 606 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: I just hadn't gotten the opportunity to prove that I could. 607 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: And so, you know, I stayed on the path. You know, 608 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: I knew it was getting close, you know, I mean, 609 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven year old rookies at the quarterback position just 610 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. So I knew it was getting close, right, 611 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: But but that's exactly the reason why I just wanted 612 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: the opportunity. If you told me I couldn't, I would 613 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: be more content and be able to walk away. But 614 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: but nobody had told me that yet. So I kept going. 615 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: And the story is amazing, of course, and we talked 616 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: about it being a movie script, So I gotta ask. 617 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here thinking like, if we had a movie, 618 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: which I feel like it's coming soon, who's going to 619 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: play the leading role of Cut Warner? Is it Ben Affleck, 620 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, What do you get any of those? See? 621 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: Here's here's the thing that you know. The script is 622 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: being written and they're working it out, and the hardest 623 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: part for him is to figure out what the story 624 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: is right, because you know, so many people are like, 625 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: it's got to stop when you win the Super Bowl, right, 626 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: And then everybody else is like, well, but there's the 627 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: whole second chapter. How do you leave that out? And 628 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: now there's the Hall of Fame? Got how do you 629 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: not put? And so they're trying to figure it out. 630 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: There is a script that they're working on. Yeah, they're 631 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: working on it might have to be a trilogy. And 632 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: I said, I said, my life story is gonna be 633 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: at least a sequel. We got to make two movies out. 634 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: Can I play? Tory Holty wants to playoffs as a game? 635 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: Take Mark gonna be like Martins? All right, So here's 636 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: how to hold on just the question. Here's how it 637 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: plays out is that everybody always asked me. And the 638 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: problem is, I'm not going to get to choose this 639 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: if one of us have a saying this, Miss Brenda 640 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: is the one choosing, all right. So as of right now, 641 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: she's in love with Tom Hardy. So I'm thinking that 642 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: if we go, if we go down this right routed 643 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: the short term, that maybe she'll try to lean and 644 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: see if we can get Tom Hardy, which which I'm 645 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: cool with you handsome though Rachel McAdams or right, lovely 646 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: lovely love Rachel McDowell. Brenda says, is it's got to 647 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: be somebody that can pull off the hair, you know, 648 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: so you got to be able to have a couple 649 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: of different hairstyles. Right. It's funny. The movie thing is 650 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: the perfect segue because we did this segment on the 651 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: show this week. We all picked our favorite part of 652 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: your career. I picked the Arizona super Bowl run. We 653 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: love the greatest show on Turf and all of that. 654 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: It's fascinating Curf because it's like your career just wouldn't end, 655 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: you know what i mean. Was there ever a time 656 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: when you thought, maybe I'm just gonna be Eli's backup 657 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: and that's fine, or maybe I'm gonna mentor Matt Liner 658 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: and I'll just be the backup, or was it always 659 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: burning that No, I got another super Bowl? I am 660 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: the man. I can be the number one quarterback. Do 661 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: you ever think, well, it's funny because you watch guys 662 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: that have great careers and then they're able to move 663 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: into that backup role and say, hey, I'm okay with 664 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: this Guy's like Mark Brunell, Guys like Matt Hasselback that 665 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: I know really well, great character guys, and they can 666 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: have great careers and then they're okay to step into 667 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: that backup role. I was never okay with that. Okay, 668 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: It just it never worked out for me. When when 669 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: I got benched for Matt Liner, Um, I contemplated retiring 670 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: at that moment. I'm like, you know, because I was 671 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: going through scout team every day and I'm throwing to 672 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: a card and I'm like, seriously, you know, I'm ten 673 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: years into this thing, and I'm thirty five years old 674 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: and I really have to look at a card and 675 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: somebody tell me where to throw the football. They hold 676 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: on that dumb card right like, I can't do this. 677 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: There's no way I'm going to be able to last. 678 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: And so I contemplated retirement after that season, but then 679 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: we had the coaching change. And with the coaching change, 680 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, everybody always has a perception. Maybe I'll 681 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to change that perception with a new 682 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 1: coach that hasn't been around. And so I was very 683 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: fortunate that Ken Wi Hunt Todd Hayley came in. And 684 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: they'll tell you that when they came in, they thought 685 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: I was just a guy that was going to hold 686 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: the clipboard. They thought my best years were behind me. 687 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: But I'm grateful that they kept an open mind and 688 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: they you know, and when we went through it, although 689 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: the idea was Matt to be the future and Matt 690 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: to be the quarterback, they couldn't deny what I was 691 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: doing in the fact that I could still play. And 692 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: so I was very fortunate that they opened up and said, 693 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: you know what, Matt may be the future, but we 694 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: want to win, right now and we came here and 695 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna play the best player. UM. So I got 696 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: that second opportunity. But yeah, there was not any moments 697 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: where I said, well I can I can handle being 698 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: a backup. That would have driven me crazy. But there 699 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: were times that I thought, if this is all I'm 700 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: going to be, it's time to step away and do 701 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: something else. And I was like, I said, fortunate that 702 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: that movement was made, um, and I got that other chance. 703 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a show tonight. You're riding the anchor spot. 704 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: Last speech, guys, Kurt Warner tonight going into the Hall 705 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: of Fame, Nardio Hall of Famer.
