Everybody, Welcome 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.280 back to Bears All Access. Here from P and C 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.200 Studios at Hollis Hall, Jeff Jonnyac along with Tom Thayer 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.240 a Hollis Hall version of this week's show and joined 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.600 by our special guest, veteran cornerback Prince Samuka Mara. The 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.000 dancing full on the practice field along with the rest 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.599 of the secondary throughout the course of practice. That's part 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.879 of the side show everybody, as the Bears get ready 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.120 to play the Colts here on Saturday night. Is that 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.800 you guys dance so much? The secondary does? What the 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.320 heck's going on there? You guys are moving to the music. 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.560 I would say, yeah, history of the secondary probably is 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.280 more rhythm than anyone on the team. I mean, it 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.560 would be a toss up between us and the wide receivers. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.760 Mitch can move a little bit too, that that'll be 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.160 that'll surprise you a little bit. But um, yeah, I 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.640 don't know. I think we're all just trying to have 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.600 fun out there throughout the dog days of its distractive exercise. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.280 About that, you like that distractive exercise? That's what I 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.720 have the same question run down. Are you antsy or 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.080 are you always trying to stay loose? Because even in 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.080 Kaka key version, as as exhausted as I think you 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.200 would be, you're always just moving your hips, You're always 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.520 jumping around. Are you as an antsy? Are you just 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.160 trying to stay loose? Yeah? I think more just trying 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.720 to stay loose. And then also just like I think 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.080 like if you always hear they probably didn't have music, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.880 did they? Okay, so just they just the music and 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.720 um and yeah it just like makes you move. I 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.720 enjoyed music. And then um, like these kids, the millennials, 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.520 they always come out with new dances. So you're just 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.720 trying to pray who fits in that category. I'm the team. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.200 I mean, like Duke Josh Josh Woods is the er 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.920 I've ever seen in practice. So you're gonna laugh it 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.440 this side. You know, I'm not. I don't know your music. 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.880 I mean, I have no idea. I'm a country guy, right, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.440 So I ask Aaron. Aaron one of the prs um 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.720 so me goes, I got that right, So I said, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.880 working me. He goes, no, it's working me. So that's 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.239 one you guys all you know. So Josh Woods knows 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.799 all the machinations of working me. So he's got it down. 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.320 It's like a whole you know, choreograph deal going on. 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.519 And I see you out there, dude, doing the same. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.080 So and that's and then Drake God's plan. Yeah, everybody 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.880 on that day. Nick Williams, Tom the big muscled up, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.079 big bicep defensive lineman, is is all aoud God's plan 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.960 is a dancer. Yeah, it's true. I'm almost in the 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.280 same boat with you. But I know them. I just 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.720 don't know who sings it. So like even in the 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.720 locker room, like I always have my zam out and 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.200 I get made fun of, but I'm trying to um 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.280 figure out. Man, like, Okay, this is catchy, like who 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.000 sings is? But yeah, those guys, yeah they know it 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.080 to a team. They can act it all up. It 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.720 is fun though. It is fun to watch. It's fun 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.280 for those guys. You gotta you gotta reduce the monotony 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.160 of the day to day and they still stay focused 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:17.800 on the task at hand though, And if it didn't, 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.040 the music would stop it. So this this is Bears 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.560 All Access brought to you by Igs Energy, Jeff, Jonny Act, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.040 Tom There and Prince Umukamara our guest here at PNC Studios. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.880 It has the pink the pink shoes. Are you wearing 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.880 them because they're comfortable in your locker? First ones? What's 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.399 what's up with that? Yeah, definitely wearing them because they're 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:39.119 they're comfortable. Um, my first year's, second day at practice. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.080 Like I broke my foot, like stress fact, I had 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.160 a stress fracture. Broke my foot. It is called a 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.640 Jones fat fracture. So broke my it's like my pinky 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.880 toe and they put a screw in there. First broken 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.000 bone on my body and um, and then from that 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.760 point on, it's like, Okay, I'm I'm just gonna Once 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.040 I find the shoe like that model, I'm staying with it. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.520 I don't care if it's the heaviest shoe, Like, I 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.520 don't care if it looks the dorkis like, I just 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.400 want something comfortable that I can stay in. And and 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.280 those Adida's models, Adidas get gets mad at me because 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.840 they're like the year. They're like four years ago, three 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.080 years ago models, and those are ones that I spared 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.280 and um, but when I get to season, I'm working 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.520 to something more comfortable. Are you a spiker molded cleat? Um? Molded? 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.479 I like molded. The benefit of that is, um, I 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.640 feel like they have they have better traction in there. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.360 They're just comfortable in your feets. The spikes do work, 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.920 and especially on certain fields like San Francisco, like that 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.560 was like sometimes teammates like but Santo teammates said, hey, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.279 like you're wearing you're wearing spikes. You're you're you're not 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.080 going out on the field. And so I bet the 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.719 bullet and put those on. And those worked well. Do 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.480 you as the molded cleats that you wear. Molded cleats 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.960 are it's all one bottom, and the spikes are where 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.400 you can screw them out and off and you can 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.280 even change the lengths. So nowadays with the transfer from 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.320 natural grass at Soldier Field the sports Turf in New 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.200 York to the sports Turf in Indianapolis. Do you are 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:04.120 the same bottoms on both surfaces? No? So Team Team 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.880 Met will say like, hey, like, no, no screwings for 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.000 for the for the turf. The molded ones are the best, um, 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.280 the best ones for the turf. Team Met. By the way, 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.840 long time equipment man Tony Medlin, who got the heistood 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.119 up to the shoulders off and what was that all about? 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:25.400 Said again he's oh, no, I didn't. I didn't. I 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.119 didn't see that. I didn't see that. It was funny. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.040 Team Met today though. We walked in the locker room 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.040 and um, I was like, teamto are you crying because 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.359 of you know the video we saw of h you 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.240 guys weren't in there. Oh, this is new. So we 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.840 saw a video of you know, the four Ladies of 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:46.279 the NFL. We saw Missus mccaskey's her little her little debut, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.599 her little part in there, and so's like flashbacks of 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.360 I mean, just the whole history from her with with 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.839 her dad and then the sons are coming on and 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.240 then talks about Piccolo how you passed away, and then 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.640 walk how you passed away. So when I looked at 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.000 Team I'm thinking like, like he's probably having flashbacks like 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.440 because he knew, um, he knew he knew some of 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:06.880 those guys that were showing up. And I said, team, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.159 and are you crying? And he never answered he was crying, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.400 but he did. He did. He said, man like, it was, Yeah, 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.359 it was, it was emotional and stuff like that. I'm thinking, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.000 man like, the number of guys he's seen, or the 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.600 number of number of ball number of situations, like he's 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.680 been around for a while. So so let me just 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.159 say one thing about that. So that is the the 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.440 the NFL Films production, correct, Greg Miller, our producer, and 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.240 that is going to debut later this month. Right, there's 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.240 rewinding down here in August. So he got the four 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.839 pillars that remain in the NFL that can speak fluently 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.520 about the one hundred years, and I hear it's must viewing, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.400 so great conversation about things that they only know and 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.479 no one else could possibly. So when you see a 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.279 little snippet of history through the eyes of Virginia McCaskey, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.479 are you glad that you had a chance to take 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.240 part in the hundred year celebration just to kind of 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.600 learn a little bit about the overall history the NFL, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.040 not only the bay. But then you think you have 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.160 one of the you know, the foremost powerful people you 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:10.560 know of the NFL, and Virginia mccaski here, yes and 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.800 um and just think just knowing that, Okay, like she 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.960 actually knows ball. Like Charles Tuman was on there and 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.320 he was saying he was trying to talk to her 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.240 during like a play, and then one of her sons 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.880 is like, no, like like only during commercial break, like 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.280 she's she's paying attention and stuff like that. And then 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.400 after it went to commercial break news, hey hate Charles 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.240 and stuff like that. So she's very serious about ball. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.880 But then also I learned about like because everyone was 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.840 surprised when we got the bobble heads and I'm sure 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.320 you're gonna mention what those bubble heads or four and 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.160 stuff like that, but we're like, who is this seventy seven? 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.360 Like who's grain Granger? Granger? And then and then and 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.640 then they brought him range Man. Yeah, and then they 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.680 brought him up in the videos like oh he was 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.960 like the best back or like he was one of 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.920 the least one. He was one of the greats here, 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.320 and it's like, oh, can now that makes sense why 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.040 he's on there and like we're not. We don't have 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:04.920 our own that's yet to come in. There might be 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.960 don't sell yourself short, prince. I heard they have max um. 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.280 Some some lucky people are getting max Yeah, each each 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.520 week of the season, the home games. Uh, that'll be 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.800 one of the giveaways. So I don't think Tom and 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.800 I may have you ever had a bubblehead going back 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.680 to college days or have you? No? No? God, that 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.840 would be one for me to keep right there. Well, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.120 you mean i'd be using it for practice in some sort. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.080 You could take a bald guy and put it on 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.720 anybody's jersey and it looked like the guy as long 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.840 as he was a bad Prince and mokamar O guest 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.520 here on Bears All Access brought to you by IGS Energy. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.959 As the preseason winds down, as it seemed longer than 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.760 it normally does, because even though last year was longer 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.040 in terms of days with the extra game and whatnot, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.240 just has that feel a little bit. I think because 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.480 of where you guys are at as a team, it 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.080 just feels like, let's get to day one, let's go. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.000 We're ready to go. I think you guys are ready 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.360 to go. Yeah, I agree with that, and it does 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.040 feel a little long, especially because we haven't played uh yet, 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.160 So it's like we've been practicing like OTA's mini camp 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.560 training camp all to play um uh on on, I 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.720 mean in September and and so just because we haven't 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.600 played yet, I feel like that's why I feel so long. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.920 Has the experience of the off season? How is that 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.960 bent for you? As you get more mature in the 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.640 in your experience of the NFL, you conclude the season 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.400 the way you did, but your expectations are through the rough. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.000 How is how is the transition of your off season? 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.600 Do you and do you have any time to relax 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.319 or is it getting right back on the horse. Definitely 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.160 have time time to relax. I try to use off 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.360 season as a time to um to seek out other 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.960 interests that um that that interests me, like so whether 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.760 it be like real estate or or acting and stuff 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.360 like that. But then um still try to find time 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.200 to work out, but I usually and then also to 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.840 like travel. I'm sure there's like a lot of stuff 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.559 that I'm sure there's a lot of stuff that my 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.240 just serve r knows that's not me because if it 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.360 were the big guy here Tom Theaters blushing would be 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.520 all over. That's the second ten man, I'm gonna find you. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.559 We gotta have some kind of fine. We're gonna go 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.800 to a break.

Jeff 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.720 Joniak and the phone ringing Tom Thayer along with Prince 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.920 and Mugamara, who called was in the last sevement. If 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.160 you're just joining us, So the seven time consecutive pro 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.880 bowler called Prince, you might have thought it was Jay 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.120 Cutler or j J. Ratl. Those were two choices. But 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.160 now those two offensive linemen and line up against it, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.600 went with each other all those years there. They're as 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.480 thickest thieves, so they they talk more than two people 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:01.600 probably should. But Jay, you will when you finally retire 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.000 and your years away from the NFL, you kindle those 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.839 relationships and friendships that you know are always going to 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.439 be a part of your daily existence. Good. Yeah, So 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.680 before the break, you're talking about your offseason interested you'll say, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.960 So one, you said real estate, So now does that 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.480 mean you were doing that this summer? Are learning it? 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.120 Number two? You said acting? So were you doing some 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.280 of that as well? Were you volunteering at the community 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.040 Playhouse in Glendae? I mean what were you doing Glendell, Arizona? Yeah? So, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.640 um so real estate. I've done my feet wet a 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.640 little bit just right now, just um, I've done some 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.640 flips and then right now, I own some condos in 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.880 um in Jacksonville where I played, and um own some 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.520 in um in Arizona, and now I'm I'm in Uh. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.160 I dabbled in in La. So I'm just just getting 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.439 my my feet wet and just trying to diversify my assets, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.800 uh somehow, like because everyone always asked me, okay, like 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.959 what are you gonna do when you stop playing? What 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.480 do you do when you stop playing? And um, right now, 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.319 I mean, I mean it could be two years, but 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.000 when you look at other people, I mean it could 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.920 be eight years, so just not knowing when when that is, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.160 but I do know the window is slowly closing. So 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.760 just trying to make the most of my opportunities. And 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.559 what about real estate intrigues you aside from the obvious, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.320 the investment is typically good and you're gonna make money. 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.120 So just what real estate? I just get like a rush. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.680 It's like another adrenaline, like like football, Just like finding 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.040 like those deals and like great cap rates and um 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.720 or value ads and just trying to um just trying 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.600 to get a win out of those. Well you can 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.760 you know, parlay that into your acting and b a 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.320 million dollars listing? You know if you've seen the show. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.680 I mean, if you're flipping TV you got million dollars 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.400 listing or the World Poker Championship, what are you watching? 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.160 Probably a million dollars listing? Yeah, probabi. So is that 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.120 does the is this is this a textbook thing or 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:55.360 is it information off of you know, a computer or 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.680 is this a conversation that will even go into the 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.800 locker room to young guys where you can say, hey, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 you know, this may be something that you should take 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.360 some interest in. Yeah, I think it's was definitely not textbook. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:09.520 So I've been learning from friends who've who are former 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.160 players and now real estate agents, so they actually know 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.640 um a lot and they've been helping me out a lot. 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.920 But I think the conversations definitely flow into the locker 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.960 room because, Um, I mean, look at um what's his name, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.040 fry or Elliot Fryer, former kicker like he was he 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.840 is a financial advisor, Like he was a financial advisor 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.040 before playing, Like he was telling me his journey got 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:38.920 into aff AAF and he Steve Spurrier was was his 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.120 coach and he got to look there good and now 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.840 he gotta look at a try. But before that he 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.719 was he was a financial advisor. He is, And so 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.880 guys just letting guys know, like like you're more than 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.960 an athlete, like the ball is gonna stop bouncing or whatever. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.640 Sometimes so like what are the interests do you have? 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.320 He would scare me, and it does actually even for 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.480 me at my age. You know, what if this were 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.480 what do you do? And I'm later in life, much 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.080 later in life, as you can see him by my 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.920 gray hair. But a guy that you know gets cut 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.360 after three years or a serious injury, you can't overcome it. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.160 I mean, you're still a very young and you're going 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.640 to be a very young man when you retire. What 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.439 is it that you're going to do so you're not 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.000 day to day boredom all right, Hodia like or just 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.200 to even make a paycheck, you know. So it's it's 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.680 a legitimate question, and I think a lot of guys 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.920 probably choose not to think about it right right, right, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.760 and probably because they might think like that's distracting, like 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.560 the saying or the phrases like plan B distracts you 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.440 from Plan A. So they probably just want to focus 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.040 U all in on football. But I feel like that's 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.960 why you see a lot of guys struggle when they 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.840 do step away from the game. It's like, okay, like 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.320 I've been in this routine, like I'm never like my 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.280 Thanksgivings and and Christmases were planned out for me like 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.440 the last twelve to fifteen years in my life. Now 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:54.960 what do I do during a run this time? So 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.440 you don't you don't want that to be new to you, 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.000 and um, you want to have a plan. So I 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.280 have a lot of respect for a guy I said, 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.400 played like Trace Armstrong, who's now Matt Naggi's agent, Mark 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.120 Helfrich and David Gohing's agent, and he's gone into that realm. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.960 He was here last week and just realizing he had 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.720 a fifteen year playing career from multiple teams. Got better 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.480 as he got older as a pass rusher, his numbers 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.240 went up, and then he got involved with the players 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.840 Union and now he's an agent on the other side 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.440 of the fence, helping coaches and some players and media. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.280 And he's still a young man. So he's had multiple 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.680 careers in a in a period of time. That and 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.200 you know, raise three kids. The neat thing about acting, though, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.360 I think because you play football and you have that 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.480 adrenaline rush every time you go to a game, you 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.040 need that in your life. And I do see it 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.360 from guys that they have they have no excitement in 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.960 their life anymore. So it's you're just surfing. Well, yeah 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.680 it is, Well, that's what it is. That's what keeps 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.720 me alive, that's what keeps your blood going. But I 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.800 think the same thing can happen through and you know 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:56.680 something so different in acting that is is not football, right, 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.560 you know, And I think it's a neat interest for 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.600 you to have, right, I agree completely, and I'm like 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.480 every team I get on, Like, man, I hope hard 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.960 Knucks like comes comes here just so do I would 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:13.800 love that problems. You would have to still be yourself. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.160 Yeah you you would, you would, but um, I mean 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.800 I would just I would like I would make sure 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:23.280 there's an exaggerated version. So get back. Are you getting? 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.000 Are you taking lessons? Yeah? So I haven't have you 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.520 what have you done? I have dabbled in some lessons, 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.920 but um, I'm very prideful when I feel like I've 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.080 wrought talent and can just like get a script and 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.160 just go. But I know that my my roles would 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:43.240 be um, would be smaller, just because like if I 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:44.960 could have it as I want to, I would want 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.800 to be like the Ryan Gosling and notebook right, I 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.240 would want to I'd want to be like a heartthrob. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.800 But but I I read like I told my wife, 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.400 I said, there's no way like I could like kiss somebody, 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.480 I couldn't separate like the kissing from yeah, from reality, 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.360 like I would. I would want to keep practice. There's 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.400 no way I wouldn't want to keep practicing and practicing 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.040 to Rachel McAdams or whoever, like every every single time 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:15.040 called Thomas Jones. He's big now really? Oh yeah, what 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.639 does he do? I don't have the exact show. If 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.159 somebody wants to write it down for me, i'd have 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.920 to look it up on my phone. But he's an actor, man, 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.000 he and he's killing it. Thomas Jones, who was beloved 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.000 here with this. Uh and it surprised me because he's 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:32.880 got that such a tough guy persona weight room guy. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.439 But now he is, you know, transferred that holy just 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.679 like Eddie George, you know, taking his skill set him 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.639 you know, doing Live Broadway and the other acting that 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.440 he's been able to do. Yeah, so you know he's involved. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.680 He's done a lot right now. I meant straight out 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.399 of Compton, number out of Compton. Yeah, a violent man, 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:55.879 uh Luke Cage, Corbin Nash. And I know he's in 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.640 a series too. And forgive me, Thomas, I don't exactly 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.520 know who it is, but he's done. He's done great 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.080 and I would have never guessed it either. Are you 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:06.520 talking about a tough, you know, very focused guy on 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.480 just he's all about his body, you know, he's yoked 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.680 up still and he's just he's been a very committed athlete. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.240 Now he's a very committed actor. But what from football 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.320 can help you be a good actor? I mean, you know, 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.840 offensive learning an offense is memorization of all the plays 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.280 and everything. Don't do you have the same amount of 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:27.159 memorization for your defensive requirements that you do, because it 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.840 seems like that's a lot of the requirement of being 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.159 able to memorize what you gotta say, but not be you, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.040 you know, be be this facial expression or this person. Yeah, 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.399 I mean, and even just from like communicating right and 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.320 just like improving like on a play or anything like that. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.600 And then just also like working on a team and 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.560 just knowing how to interact with different people and like 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.080 in kind of like different actors, Like someone's gonna be 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.280 here today and someone and the new guy will be 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.320 here the next day. So I think football sets me 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:01.919 up for it tremendously. Are you funny? Could you have 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:06.159 no job? No? I don't. Actually, I feel like my 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.760 humor is like it's just on the run, like organic, yeah, 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:14.240 and somewhat dry.
