Speaker 1: Cast from a house with Matt Overton, who is the
Speaker 1: deep snapper for the Indianapolis Colts and has been a
Speaker 1: show member for the past month and a half or so. Slowly, yeah,
Speaker 1: slowly but sure. So in the off season, I guess
Speaker 1: you do something every altwo's gonna kind of learn something.
Speaker 1: What what? What's your shelf? Live? As the NFL player,
Speaker 1: you think like, how old can you be and still
Speaker 1: do what you do well? At the end of this year?
Speaker 1: Kicker who doesn't get hit? You get hit? I get
Speaker 1: hit a little bit. So I would have to say
Speaker 1: ten to twelve years left? No, no, no, oh total total? Um.
Speaker 1: So I want to I want to get to year ten.
Speaker 1: So where are you now? So I'm going in year six? Okay,
Speaker 1: so you think at five more years than you Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go pull up my glow closer. Alright, So Matt
Speaker 1: Overton is here. Do you ever watch and I don't.
Speaker 1: I didn't listen the show, which is the weird thing.
Speaker 1: Do you ever watch? What's sleeve? Is that? That show?
Speaker 1: Chris Lee knows best? No, Todd knows it. Look, I
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about look At Mighty, Looked Atup
Speaker 1: because I didn't know the show. Todd Chrisley is the
Speaker 1: guy's name, and it's on USA because I just saw it.
Speaker 1: I've seen because Okay, so I didn't know them from
Speaker 1: that show and apparently it's a big show. But I've
Speaker 1: gotten to know them not knowing they were on TV.
Speaker 1: So I met Todd at the wildfire relief and I
Speaker 1: was almost like, hey, he does some stuff on TV.
Speaker 1: I know. It was super nice guy. He probably knew
Speaker 1: who I was. We were just talking like humans. And
Speaker 1: so I saw him again at the a c M
Speaker 1: and I knew he had a TV show but didn't
Speaker 1: know much about it. And then I met Savannah, his daughter,
Speaker 1: who was super nice too, and we talked for like
Speaker 1: half an hour and then I was like, hey, I
Speaker 1: met and I was like freaking out because I love
Speaker 1: the show. I've never even seen the show. I've seen
Speaker 1: one episode and to be so because I was just
Speaker 1: talking and this is the I'm about to say it
Speaker 1: maybe sounds stupid. I was talking about Spray tank Girl,
Speaker 1: who just left, and she was like, I love that show.
Speaker 1: I'll watch it so much. You know them. I was like,
Speaker 1: I guess I do. I think they live down the road.
Speaker 1: But you watched one episode? Why not too? All right?
Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot of TV. To be honest
Speaker 1: with you, you don't know, not really. Chris lays knows best.
Speaker 1: And it's like it's like a Christian version of the Kardashians.
Speaker 1: It's a Southern version of the Kardashians, it is, but
Speaker 1: people love them. Is the difference, Like, nobody loves the
Speaker 1: Kardashians unless you're like fifteen or you're twenty two. I
Speaker 1: want to be exactly like them. Nobody nobody goes I
Speaker 1: have a passion for the Kardashian Yeah, you're like, are you?
Speaker 1: It's like a car wreck, like you want to see
Speaker 1: what we're wild things they do because they're rich and
Speaker 1: they're out. But people love this show because the is hilarious.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody says. So is he just like over there?
Speaker 1: And again, this is in no way a slam if anything,
Speaker 1: It's awesome because they were such normal, nice people to me.
Speaker 1: And I had to google because I was I was
Speaker 1: back to age the a c M. S. And I
Speaker 1: was talking to Savannah the daughter and I had to
Speaker 1: google her because it sad her name is Savannah, and
Speaker 1: there's two daughters, correct, no idea two daughters and a son.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know there's a daughter and a
Speaker 1: son for sure. But they are really nice. And if
Speaker 1: you're listening to this and you're like, hey, I watched
Speaker 1: that show and I wonder what their life in her life,
Speaker 1: they are really nice and they have no reason to
Speaker 1: be nice to me. So what do you read it, Mike? Well, Mike,
Speaker 1: can you figure do they live here in Nashville, Brentwater,
Speaker 1: or Franklin, But I think they film in Atlanta, film
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and then this season is currently filmed here. Okay, really,
Speaker 1: so I'm behind. So they were in Atlanta? Okay, Well
Speaker 1: whatever my whole story was. I was just thinking about
Speaker 1: that for you guy. Heres. I didn't know them as
Speaker 1: TV people. I just know as regular folks and they're
Speaker 1: really nice. And when I mentioned it to her a
Speaker 1: minute ago, she was like, Wow, that's so cool. They're
Speaker 1: really nice, and I was like, yeah, I got that's cool.
Speaker 1: So then she loved I'm glad you didn't get to
Speaker 1: see because that's kind of embarrassing part of my life
Speaker 1: when you have to when you have to meet someone's
Speaker 1: bright tang girl. Because if you were, if you playing
Speaker 1: in the NFL, if you had if you told those
Speaker 1: dudes in locker room we had a spray tang girl,
Speaker 1: how would that go over? Well? Me and McAfee, my
Speaker 1: my punter, Pat McAfee, we used to get spray tans
Speaker 1: before every game. That's not great, Like it is a
Speaker 1: joke though a little bit. Yeah, because we always when
Speaker 1: we went on the road, it was a big time game.
Speaker 1: We had to get sprays hands. But the thing was,
Speaker 1: and you you can attest to this, is that we
Speaker 1: had all white uniforms on away games and you sweat
Speaker 1: profusely throughout the game, and it's that spray tan stuff
Speaker 1: will stay in our uniforms. So you're like your uniforms
Speaker 1: were like my sheets. Yeah, they would slowly become orange
Speaker 1: with time. We would go to Australian Gold or whatever,
Speaker 1: or sun Tann City and we get sprays hands at
Speaker 1: sun Tann City. Two big dudes. What was he? Is?
Speaker 1: He a big guy though, no bigger than a normal human. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's six foot and two thirty. That's pretty big. Good
Speaker 1: for sure, Like you're a big you're bigger than a
Speaker 1: normal human. But I wouldn't say you're I'm honestly probably
Speaker 1: pretty small to like NFL standards, you know. For me,
Speaker 1: the crazy thing was a few years ago, I went
Speaker 1: and I had dinner with Eli Manning and to see
Speaker 1: how big he is. It's a big deal by the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was one on one dinner. It was it was
Speaker 1: like six of us, and Archie was there and Eli
Speaker 1: Peyton was playing in the Super Bowl, and so we
Speaker 1: went down New York. Nope, in Miami because it was
Speaker 1: it was the year they lost thing okay when spent Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so of his Yeah yeah, it was a year they
Speaker 1: lost to Drew Brees. And so we went and it
Speaker 1: was I never tell the story because when I tell
Speaker 1: stories like this, I'm such a name dropper, and I
Speaker 1: don't like to be that guy. I really do have
Speaker 1: a bunch of cool stories I heard that I never
Speaker 1: just dropped him. Come on, let's go that. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I never want to be a douche bag. And so
Speaker 1: my whole part of the story was it was Cooper
Speaker 1: and Archie and Eli and a couple of my buddies
Speaker 1: and me, and we go to dinner and Eli was
Speaker 1: gigantic and he doesn't look gigantic on TV, and he
Speaker 1: looks kind of dopey, so you just think he's like
Speaker 1: this little dopey kid who gets beat up out on
Speaker 1: the because I was like, oh, like another interception, but
Speaker 1: he was. He's gigantic, and I don't know, look at
Speaker 1: the last stats six four probably. It was so shocking
Speaker 1: to me that someone I see on TV who just
Speaker 1: looked like a normal dude was that big of a dude.
Speaker 1: Have you met Peyton? No, I've never met Peyton. I
Speaker 1: mean he's six six ish. Yeah to thirty. I mean
Speaker 1: that's big. How big is That's a big dude. And
Speaker 1: that's not even big because he's standing in a huddle.
Speaker 1: He's not the biggest dude. Did you ever play with Peyton?
Speaker 1: He left before you got there. Ye. What was kind
Speaker 1: of his reputation in the locker room? He ran the ship,
Speaker 1: He was the captain, He was the sheriff of the colts.
Speaker 1: He built that that organization was he as a leader.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to not be liked there it's better
Speaker 1: in my experience, it's awesome to be liked, but it's
Speaker 1: way better to be respected, especially if you're running something
Speaker 1: and at times you have to make decisions and I
Speaker 1: do my friends. I work all my friends. You see
Speaker 1: it every morning, like these are all my people. These
Speaker 1: are people that have known forever. But you've got to
Speaker 1: be the boss sometimes and sometimes you have to do
Speaker 1: things and say things that were like it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: man by such a dick. But it's better to be
Speaker 1: respected than everybody. Just get along and be like was
Speaker 1: Peyton at times, Like you gotta respect the dude even
Speaker 1: though you don't agree with what he says or what
Speaker 1: it was. He university just loved by everybody. He was loved, hated,
Speaker 1: and respected. And the stories that I've heard he would
Speaker 1: literally kick people out of practice for being late, running
Speaker 1: a wrong pattern, catching or dropping a pass. Um would
Speaker 1: literally x out of all the plays and he'd run
Speaker 1: his own stuff. I mean he he commanded the entire
Speaker 1: team until Brady won this last super Bowl. And because
Speaker 1: of the super Bowl, eventually there's the point where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you have enough championships. You the best. I until Brady
Speaker 1: won this last one. I always said, Peyton Manning with
Speaker 1: the great quarterback that ever played. Because of what he did,
Speaker 1: he was the team. He didn't need an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: He needed nothing except his But with with Brady, Brady's
Speaker 1: now the greatest of all time in my mind, for
Speaker 1: he solidified that like everyone agrees, and it was always arguable.
Speaker 1: You could have even said Brady beforehand, or what you
Speaker 1: could have said Montana, or you could have said Roger
Speaker 1: star back and that's the older generation or but it's
Speaker 1: just not arguable anymore. It's Tom Brady and the way
Speaker 1: they did it though too. I mean, suspended four games
Speaker 1: right off the bat, came back and just lived, never
Speaker 1: skipped a beat, and then to be down. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was movie. It's movie, like no doubt. And dude, he
Speaker 1: everyone on Twitter that night was like, all right, Brady
Speaker 1: is the goat, as was I and I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't in the camp of Brady being the I always
Speaker 1: thought it was Peyton Manning until Brady that game. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that game, That's what took it over for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have a friend um that works in Andy. You
Speaker 1: actually know he works on w I s H. What's
Speaker 1: his name? Yeah, yeah, so he too tell me to
Speaker 1: sorrow about Peyton many during practice, switching out jerseys so
Speaker 1: he could donate this like he would run part of
Speaker 1: practice taking and then sign it in the game. He
Speaker 1: would do that. He would literally walk out, so he'd go,
Speaker 1: he'd walk out in New Jersey and he said yet
Speaker 1: game one, pre game, he'd come out again for pregame,
Speaker 1: pre game with all the pads on. Take that one
Speaker 1: off and then you wear a game one. So he
Speaker 1: would always have two or three jerseys to sign and
Speaker 1: donate after each game. That's cool. Yeah, that's respect because
Speaker 1: you know what, not anybody, not just anybody can have
Speaker 1: that many, those many, that many jerseys to just give away. Um,
Speaker 1: but that for also to be a thing, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a thing like I'm going to do that. It
Speaker 1: sure doesn't seem like a lot of effort, but it
Speaker 1: is effort that you don't. You don't have to do that,
Speaker 1: you don't, You just don't have to do that. So
Speaker 1: but he's loved an Indy. He'll he'll end up running
Speaker 1: for office and being the governor. We were we were
Speaker 1: hoping that he was gonna be like semi percentage owner
Speaker 1: this offication like GM. Everyone was calling his name like
Speaker 1: please come back to Indie. Yeah, I love that, dude.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean, but my point was that Eli mannings
Speaker 1: huge what are you? Hy six one on a good day.
Speaker 1: So you're a deep snapper long snapper? Okay, what's the difference?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It says long snipper in the program,
Speaker 1: but some people say deep snoper. I don't know. Is
Speaker 1: that just because I played high school ball only? Then?
Speaker 1: I think? I think the deep snapper is like the
Speaker 1: old school name well back when wear leather helmets in
Speaker 1: the Yes, yeah, that was a deep snapper. When you
Speaker 1: were in high school. Were you good at other positions? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I played everything? Did you play defense? Yeah? What did
Speaker 1: you play? Linebacker? D line, um on the offensive line?
Speaker 1: Played every position of offensive line, full back a little bit.
Speaker 1: Were you an elite as a high school player, No,
Speaker 1: you really weren't. No. I was probably one of the
Speaker 1: best every year on my team, and then one of
Speaker 1: the best I don't know in our in our conference.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, tier two ish meaning
Speaker 1: tier one, being like the best in the in the
Speaker 1: entire I was second team All league. How do you go?
Speaker 1: How do you get to be a long snapper? Though?
Speaker 1: Of all the positions? Like, what how do you because
Speaker 1: it's not something you go as an eighth grader like
Speaker 1: I'm about to be a crazy good life. I had
Speaker 1: no idea what it was. In high school. I played
Speaker 1: center my freshman year and the coach called up everybody
Speaker 1: after practically, hey, we need a long snapper, and of
Speaker 1: course no one knew what that was. And we had
Speaker 1: tryouts right after practice, and literally whoever was the best
Speaker 1: to do it got the job. And I was the
Speaker 1: best at it. But I was also playing center at
Speaker 1: the time too, so it was just like, all right,
Speaker 1: you playing center and you're gonna long snap, and I
Speaker 1: just did it. I don't I don't remember doing it
Speaker 1: in high school at all until my senior year, when
Speaker 1: I knew that getting a scholarship could be a thing.
Speaker 1: So you went to college where I went to Dabble
Speaker 1: Valley Junior College first and a long snapper, long snapper, linebacker.
Speaker 1: I played defense. I was that was my thing. And
Speaker 1: then UM got a scholarship to Western Washington two years
Speaker 1: after playing at Dabble Valley and that was for defense
Speaker 1: and and long snapper. So and so where do you
Speaker 1: go from there? Man? I got to Western Washington. That's
Speaker 1: a Division two school. Nobody really goes to the NFL
Speaker 1: out of there. UM, But fortunately I walked into a
Speaker 1: situation where they had an All American punter and kicker
Speaker 1: for four years straight. It was one of the best
Speaker 1: in the country all levels. He was drafted, he was
Speaker 1: draft eligible whatnot. And I was in class my first
Speaker 1: three weeks on campus, I just moved up to Washington.
Speaker 1: I get a text with my coach saying, Hey, Michael
Speaker 1: Cainan is his name. He's got to work out for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks right now on the field. He needs someone
Speaker 1: to snap to him. You need to be out there
Speaker 1: in thirty minutes, like cool, grab my stuff. Totally against
Speaker 1: nt double A regulations to do that. Um, could have
Speaker 1: got all my eligibility taking away doing that work in
Speaker 1: in front of a scout and went out there and
Speaker 1: just I guess did well because the scout was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be looking out for you in two years,
Speaker 1: said some great things in my coach. My coach really
Speaker 1: got on me for that. You know, it's like, hey man,
Speaker 1: this is real deal. I think he sees something and
Speaker 1: you should probably take this a little seriously and get
Speaker 1: some work in the off season to go some camps
Speaker 1: and get some coaching and see what happens in two years.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what really, you know, made my
Speaker 1: dream more so of the reality of like what this
Speaker 1: could be something here, because it was always my dream
Speaker 1: and aspiration to play in the NFL at a young age.
Speaker 1: But I knew how hard it was. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying as an NFL player, like I just look
Speaker 1: at you like you're I would just think every girl
Speaker 1: would be trying to get knocked out by every NFL player.
Speaker 1: We have a bad rap, dude, No, no, it's bad.
Speaker 1: It's not a First of all, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a bad I don't think it's NFL play. Think it's
Speaker 1: dudes in general. Yeah, but it's but professional athletes have
Speaker 1: a lot of testosterone, a good amount of money, they
Speaker 1: travel a lot, and we're all assholes. I mean, but
Speaker 1: dudes in general are. Yeah, I know that, but I
Speaker 1: don't I think with the culture that you're in, it
Speaker 1: does Chris Rock said it. A guy is only as
Speaker 1: faithful as his options, Okay, and so I would. And
Speaker 1: every girl has got to be throwing themselves NFL players,
Speaker 1: the bad players, the bad ones don't want the snags.
Speaker 1: Remember I told you you don't want the snags. Those
Speaker 1: are the ones. You got to be careful those snags
Speaker 1: and people who snag up your life. But I'm saying,
Speaker 1: guys just want to get laid. I get that for sure,
Speaker 1: and that's what That's what I will be worried about,
Speaker 1: is when you start having sex. Babies happen accidentally sometimes,
Speaker 1: and girls want to have sex NFL players all the time,
Speaker 1: Like on the road, can we're talking about hooking up
Speaker 1: or we're talking about actually finding some because I think
Speaker 1: maybe they they look if I can hook up, then
Speaker 1: that can be the first step into getting in significant
Speaker 1: because I think long term play is to get an
Speaker 1: NFL player. Short term play is to get an NFL
Speaker 1: player for that night and maybe get pregnant and then
Speaker 1: I get an NFL player or a paycheck. But you know,
Speaker 1: the smart ones don't go after NFL players. They go
Speaker 1: after baseball and basketball. That's big time. Money is guaranteed.
Speaker 1: But they don't even know that. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's about women are met Mostly people don't
Speaker 1: know that. They just see the Andrew Lux, the Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: these the Lebrons, the just go everybody's making millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: I just gotta be the pro athlete for sure. It's
Speaker 1: not even a female. It's just it's just a human thing. Filthy,
Speaker 1: filthy rich. You know, Mike, would you have known the
Speaker 1: difference in baseball players and basketball pleasure? You guaranteed money
Speaker 1: and NFL players don't. So that's not a general I
Speaker 1: do because I'm a huge sports fan and have friends
Speaker 1: and the professional athletes. But I don't think people people
Speaker 1: know that, Like, how would try? Dude? When you smart
Speaker 1: on Instagram? Dude, they're smart? Do they come at you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're smart. What do they do? Oh, it's it's filled, man,
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna lie. I will go through and
Speaker 1: like see what they're about. You're a dude, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're single. I'm checking it out. But like after a game,
Speaker 1: like you're on the field, you're in your path, like
Speaker 1: that's where you're your strongest, Like that's where you're on
Speaker 1: the field, in your path, like the end of the game,
Speaker 1: and these people are everywhere. You probably walk out and
Speaker 1: this point and be like, hey, I'd like to meet you,
Speaker 1: and they would you probably to meet them, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not wrong, No you're not. Because right now in our society,
Speaker 1: the professional athlete, the rock star. You're our royalty. We
Speaker 1: don't have kings and queens, you're the you're the royalty
Speaker 1: of America, professional athletes, rock stars, I mean the famous people.
Speaker 1: So you can pick have whoever you want. I get that.
Speaker 1: But also another thing too, that you know, football, we're
Speaker 1: in and out of that city. Basketball they're on the
Speaker 1: road ten day straight. You know they're in that's you
Speaker 1: know they can go out and actually have a good
Speaker 1: time and party a little bit. Have you walked up
Speaker 1: to fields that like to meet her and then met her?
Speaker 1: I feel like I would do all time. It never happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably don't have time. We really don't. We show
Speaker 1: up the night before what at home? Because they got
Speaker 1: they worshiped the Colts and Andy. Yeah, but we're we're
Speaker 1: slacking in that department. And of a woman. You don't
Speaker 1: think they're You don't think that Indianapolis is comparable to
Speaker 1: let's say, let me get okay, you're not. It's not
Speaker 1: like Miami. But because I think the region that you
Speaker 1: live in, if it's a good, wholesome, if it's a
Speaker 1: colder region, there's not theres many people outside. They're not
Speaker 1: just as many outdore activities, so the fitness level isn't
Speaker 1: as high when you look at the warm places. Everybody's
Speaker 1: in jail for sure. I mean, there's a reason that
Speaker 1: the warmer places that they California is the even like Austin, Miami.
Speaker 1: Those places you have a lot of people in shape,
Speaker 1: for sure. But India wouldn't say that's the culture. No.
Speaker 1: I feel like I know all the pretty girls in Indie,
Speaker 1: but you're talking about a city of millions of people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's a small town though. It's like Nashville. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it really is. But I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I kind of do, but not really. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course you're not gonna know everybody. But what I
Speaker 1: mean is that you know, I dated a cheerleader on
Speaker 1: the team. You did, I thought that was against the rules. No,
Speaker 1: I broke the rules and I got the rules changed.
Speaker 1: So every player from here on not that's the way
Speaker 1: to go. It's not even like it's like, but doesn't
Speaker 1: every player go look at the cheerleaders and pick first. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: they're very attractive, and they're with us all the time
Speaker 1: and they go to all their appearances. But the thing
Speaker 1: is that cheerleaders are coached and taught. They can't speak
Speaker 1: to us, they can't hang out with us. Job. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be very professional. I get that. But
Speaker 1: outside of like work, we're bound across paths. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it really is a small town cross paths
Speaker 1: like it's human. Yeah, but they dog us at work.
Speaker 1: They literally turn their back on us and walk away.
Speaker 1: They don't because they don't want to lose their job,
Speaker 1: not because they think less that. You actually probably like
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of you get yeah, but they
Speaker 1: are they're watched like hawks and so you So you
Speaker 1: just went to the guide and we're like, I like her. Well,
Speaker 1: I ended up, you know, being friends with some of them,
Speaker 1: and they just happen. Four of them all live together
Speaker 1: in the house. Sounds to little house, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: over for wine night, come on me and my boys. So,
Speaker 1: so you dated a cheerleader. Yeah, but how like one
Speaker 1: of the other guys that, let's say a skill position
Speaker 1: didn't get her? Because if I her, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: let me get me a wide receiver, running back a game, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't know I got a game. I'll be like,
Speaker 1: I don't want the long snapper. I want that that
Speaker 1: tied in She was digging number forty five? Is it
Speaker 1: weird though, that you can google how much money you make?
Speaker 1: For sure? You can find out some You can find
Speaker 1: out anything on the internet. You can't find how much
Speaker 1: money I make. You can look, it's all less. It's inaccurate,
Speaker 1: But I know what you make because they put it
Speaker 1: out there for sure. And everything is based on I
Speaker 1: mean the salaries, the salary. I mean it's everything is
Speaker 1: structured in our business. She knows, though. It isn't that
Speaker 1: weird that she knows? Aren't you worried? Because for me?
Speaker 1: It was forever a part of it? Not a date
Speaker 1: anybody is because I just didn't trust anybody. It's like
Speaker 1: want to date? Okay? Really we Mike, can't. I stay
Speaker 1: here and we try to find that the qualities about
Speaker 1: me to make you girl want to date me? And
Speaker 1: we sat here forever and we were like, were there
Speaker 1: really aren't that many other than I'm supportive, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not no joy to be around, So why would anyone
Speaker 1: want to date me? So I'd be like, I'm just
Speaker 1: not dating anybody because I don't trust anybody. They must
Speaker 1: have bad intentions? Was why I didn't date anybody, and
Speaker 1: that's why I don't date a lot either. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: early on, dude, I was saying out with the snags
Speaker 1: and I got I got caught up a little bit.
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, having that kids on the side. No,
Speaker 1: I don't, Man, that'd be crazy, Thank god, I don't.
Speaker 1: What's that? Is it like a hierarchy in the locker room?
Speaker 1: Like what it's gotta be? Maybe it's not like if
Speaker 1: you're sitting next to a player that's making you know,
Speaker 1: seven million a year, Like does he get treated differently? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, compared to the rookie and drafted free agent.
Speaker 1: For sure. Compared to the long snapper, the punter, the kicker.
Speaker 1: It depends, though. You have to putting you It's like
Speaker 1: putting your time in, are you guys? I like your
Speaker 1: own island because you're a special team guys, No, you're not.
Speaker 1: So you're part of the team team. I'm I'm in dude,
Speaker 1: I got, I'm in death row. Dude, I got the
Speaker 1: I'm with the dbs, the receivers. Uh, that's just we
Speaker 1: call it. We call it. It's not like part of
Speaker 1: the locker room where you guys all it's we're in
Speaker 1: one corner. We got the stereo going man, we got
Speaker 1: rap sessions were I mean, we're we got it going on.
Speaker 1: I'm the only white guy over there in the corner
Speaker 1: with him. Are you the only got country of music? No?
Speaker 1: And you're on my team. Yeah you're not. There's a
Speaker 1: few that are down mostly not though. No, it's it's weird.
Speaker 1: It all depends though, because it's like Trent Cole, he's
Speaker 1: a black guy, He's from Cincinnati, loves country. It's always
Speaker 1: where's Cobba Boots in the locker room? You know, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it too. It's from just where
Speaker 1: you grew up. A lot of guys from the South
Speaker 1: love country music regardless of race. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of But but again for me, like I go in
Speaker 1: the South, I have have, I love everything everything, And
Speaker 1: that's what got me in trouble forever. It was saying
Speaker 1: that openly and making that country station, which is so stupid.
Speaker 1: It so don't even get me started. Like I wish
Speaker 1: you would play some gangster wrap on your show for
Speaker 1: once in a while. I mean, I'm not that gangster
Speaker 1: like Amy Like for me, I mean probably my earliest
Speaker 1: was you know, the Biggie Tuopox stuff. Because I was
Speaker 1: like a young kid, and that's when it's like Snoop
Speaker 1: when man need to play Snoops record and be like
Speaker 1: don't don't. I don't show anybody because you're in trouble.
Speaker 1: I didn't have any parents really, so nobody cared. But
Speaker 1: everybody also hide up from their parents or um well
Speaker 1: you know. It was having tone and luck with that,
Speaker 1: but he was safe. He played on the radio. No
Speaker 1: and BT was okay, but it was it was the
Speaker 1: two guys from Miami, the guests from Miami that were
Speaker 1: so dirty. Who no, no, no, no, oh, you're talking
Speaker 1: like cash Money record. No, that was later. The cash
Speaker 1: Money was like juvenile masterpe and that's like, you know
Speaker 1: New Orleans. If I'm talking to like me so honey
Speaker 1: to Live Crew, Yeah that was way dirty. And I'm
Speaker 1: for being so young and being like, what's happening right now?
Speaker 1: Like why people? Why people playing two Live Crew? But yeah,
Speaker 1: they were they were dirty dirty. My first album that
Speaker 1: I bought was Bone Dogs and Harmony and yes, my
Speaker 1: my aunt gave me twenty bucks. I went to the
Speaker 1: record store and I bought Bone Dogs because Crossroads was
Speaker 1: the head. That was like Crossroads and it's the first
Speaker 1: wake up, wake up, oh man. And I played that
Speaker 1: reck the CD at home and my mom was like,
Speaker 1: what is this? But you know, I remember our school dances.
Speaker 1: I was grinding on girls to Genuine's Pony, to Keith Sweat,
Speaker 1: to Black Street. He Sweat was a great dud and
Speaker 1: he does a radio show for our company now, so
Speaker 1: have I chanced to meet him a couple of times?

Speaker 1: it's bye? And who can love you like me? Nobody?
Speaker 1: Who can say she like me? And jam nobody baby
Speaker 1: and that Biggie's by Now this brings me back to
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's clone. I like talking a long great old
Speaker 1: navy pullovers, Michael Jordan's shoes, dude, Michael Jordan's cologne. You
Speaker 1: know It's funny about Michael Jordan's shoes is that Mike
Speaker 1: and I were looking around the house and I never
Speaker 1: could afford Jordan's as a kid, and and so I
Speaker 1: bought a pair at a garage cell once. They were
Speaker 1: like really beat up, and I was in like seventh grade,
Speaker 1: and so I got made fun of a lot because
Speaker 1: I wore a pair of beat up old Jordan's. I
Speaker 1: was like, I was so proud to have Jordan's. And
Speaker 1: so when I finally started making money in my career,
Speaker 1: I think I started in the morning show like one
Speaker 1: so and I didn't make a lot of money then,
Speaker 1: but I had enough to go buy my first pair
Speaker 1: of Jordan's. And so I went and bought a para
Speaker 1: of Jordan's. And I still kept the shoebox because they
Speaker 1: were that important to me because in my life, like
Speaker 1: that pair of Jordan's was like, I'm finally working hard
Speaker 1: enough to afford something I wanted my whole life, which
Speaker 1: is a pair of shoes. And it wasn't about the shoes,
Speaker 1: but it was the fact that I got to go
Speaker 1: buy Para Jordan's so that I could never afford. And
Speaker 1: I kept the box and I was like, Mike, we're
Speaker 1: looking for some like, uh like my self security cards
Speaker 1: in there in the house. And I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a have a Michael Jordan's parabo. Can't
Speaker 1: get a bunch of documents in I keep that box.
Speaker 1: Michael drink cologne. Take the postions of the Weedi's box.
Speaker 1: You probably remember that though, for sure you remember that. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we used to. So we had a one boy's bathroom
Speaker 1: in sixth grade and we'd go in there before dance,
Speaker 1: and our dances were at like two pm, so they
Speaker 1: had to cover all the windows with like black paper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'd go, Dude, we'd go into the bathroom and
Speaker 1: we'd all line up our clones, man and everyone had
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan cologne, Calvin Klein's dude, all that stuff, and
Speaker 1: we just literally just more of a brute guy myself
Speaker 1: sprayed on, sprayed on my buddies, and then we literally
Speaker 1: just like spray five different clones on and walk out
Speaker 1: of that bathroom just feeling like let's do this. It
Speaker 1: sounds like the suicide drink of cologne giverty suicides where
Speaker 1: you're going to get a little bit of everything trips
Speaker 1: and you get and it was terrible tasting. But you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting suicide. That sounds like the cologne. We did it? Oh,
Speaker 1: this is it on? Like didn't even even a dance.
Speaker 1: I would just hear the song get a boner, just
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, it's like and so then it wouldn't
Speaker 1: go dancing. But I have turned backwards and just like,
Speaker 1: let it settle itself down. Yeah it did. Who get
Speaker 1: to pick the music in the locker room during NFL games?
Speaker 1: We don't listen to music. Nothing. You don't the only
Speaker 1: personal stuff with your ears, so nothing over the top.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a coach rule, and I get it. Man,
Speaker 1: It's like, but sometimes you kind of want to just
Speaker 1: everyone want to get hyped together, and it's usually somebody
Speaker 1: with a little bow speaker that comes out. And because
Speaker 1: we don't we don't. We don't travel with a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. So somebody's got a cool bows thing and
Speaker 1: it's just gangster rap. I wonder when you tell I
Speaker 1: travel like you guys get does the team own a
Speaker 1: jet or do they charter edge charter? So basically do
Speaker 1: you rent a delta plane but you fly yourself? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean nobody else is on there with you. We
Speaker 1: have the same well it's the entire fire organization sponsors
Speaker 1: UM and then we have the same flight crew every
Speaker 1: everyway game. Is it any actually is there any extra
Speaker 1: luxury to it? Meaning with the seat wise or is
Speaker 1: just like you're getting on adult flight with the seats
Speaker 1: because I'm sure you have food and stuff? Because yeah,
Speaker 1: we it depends on the travel. Like for us, we're
Speaker 1: pretty lucky. We have We come to Nashville, Houston, UM
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, so that's not a long trip. But if
Speaker 1: we're doing like the West Coast stuff, or we went
Speaker 1: to London last year, it's usually a nicer Yet that
Speaker 1: London trip was that brutal to go play? Is it
Speaker 1: brutal over there playing? It's awful but beautiful place. I
Speaker 1: want to go back. And it was cool playing whimbley.
Speaker 1: I mean that's just that's a big time. But they
Speaker 1: don't really know football. They don't, but they're loud and
Speaker 1: they love to drink and get drunk and just scream
Speaker 1: for no reason they do. I went to London and
Speaker 1: I know what's going on, and men they played their
Speaker 1: their football, it's soccer, and they're so obnoxious about like
Speaker 1: I had. They had the flags going like Jacksonville has
Speaker 1: been over there a few times now, and uh, Jacksonville
Speaker 1: was the home too in that game, and they, I
Speaker 1: mean they had the banners out just like they would
Speaker 1: for soccer games and they had their own chance. How
Speaker 1: how would you fill up? They said, hey, Matt, we're
Speaker 1: moving our franchise to London and you gotta go play
Speaker 1: for the London lepre Cons. I'm done, like right when
Speaker 1: they because they talked about that every year, like we're
Speaker 1: gonna get it from There's no way one team can
Speaker 1: be over there by him, because you gotta travel eight
Speaker 1: games back to the States, stay over for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks at a time, and then you get you're
Speaker 1: not you're not gonna make Then no one's gonna want
Speaker 1: to come visit you. No one's gonna want to play
Speaker 1: for the team. Yeah, it's awful. What about Mexico City
Speaker 1: worst that Eddie? Eddie Mexico City is like used to
Speaker 1: go to kid. He was like, first of all, Eddie
Speaker 1: grew up at a border town, and he was like,
Speaker 1: and I would, I mean even a bit ago, it
Speaker 1: might you grew up I used to walk across the
Speaker 1: border and it was a big you need to passport
Speaker 1: or anything walk across the border. What's the border town
Speaker 1: of McAllen Uh. I think that's wha it is? Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe it could be whatever. I would go across at
Speaker 1: a friend and she was fluent and lived down there.
Speaker 1: So we go, we go across, and it was like,
Speaker 1: but you need to get it back across before nighttime.
Speaker 1: And they also don't want to mess with Americans that
Speaker 1: much at the border because you start mess with Americans
Speaker 1: and Americans start messing with them, and so they're you know,
Speaker 1: they're running their their business across the lines. Again, there's
Speaker 1: a reason you don't hear about, Mike, and you know
Speaker 1: more about this than I do, because you grew up
Speaker 1: where I grew up in walks the hatchie. But I
Speaker 1: would go to Mexico all the time because your parents
Speaker 1: were from Mexico, deep like eight hours into Mexico. We
Speaker 1: would drive there every Christmas in summer, so I would
Speaker 1: see all that border stuff and at the borders, the
Speaker 1: borders the worst part. Eddie would say the border for bad,
Speaker 1: but Mexico City was like a whole different planet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mexico City is pretty nuts. It's uh. I mean when
Speaker 1: we were there, we got like our stuff stolen, and
Speaker 1: there's the cops are terrible. It's it's insane with the borders.
Speaker 1: And what I always told was like, don't want to
Speaker 1: get caught in any sort of mess anyway. But if
Speaker 1: you were white again, they really wouldn't mess with you
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't want the American government going Okay, they
Speaker 1: would talk at more people like me, like Mexicans going back,
Speaker 1: and they know they have money, they know they're coming
Speaker 1: from the States, and they'd be like, okay, that's the
Speaker 1: person we need to go after. So you guys would
Speaker 1: go down to Mexican drive. Yeah, we would drive eight hours.
Speaker 1: And how when you hit is there a road? Because
Speaker 1: some state to state, For example, I going Tennessee ARKANSA
Speaker 1: Arkansas roads don't say good at least in a lot
Speaker 1: of parts. So I'll drive across the state line and
Speaker 1: it's like pretty good roads too, not very good roads. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they would have switched like that in the Mexico side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: about maybe a couple hours in you hit the roads
Speaker 1: that are just like you and mountains and that's it
Speaker 1: and you don't want to We would try to plan
Speaker 1: it out to where we were driving Mexico during the
Speaker 1: day that we were not having to stop at night
Speaker 1: really because you were vulnerable at night. So we would
Speaker 1: leave Texas during at night, get to the border in
Speaker 1: the morning, and then drive there to the morning that
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have to stop because you don't want to stop,
Speaker 1: so you wouldn't play for the Mexico City. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know why they had a game down there that
Speaker 1: past year, but they're going to have because they're trying
Speaker 1: to expand the brand and they took the Raiders down
Speaker 1: there in the Houston, Texas. I get that, but like
Speaker 1: the team couldn't enjoy themselves there. They were on seven
Speaker 1: lockdown again. Though. It's not about the players and the team.
Speaker 1: It's just it's not it really, it's it's the NFL
Speaker 1: just wanted to make more money. The NBA's got unlock.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the NBA, I mean the NBA. They're known everywhere,
Speaker 1: so I think it's what the NFL wants. Problem is. Listen,
Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL as it is now lasts
Speaker 1: and it's not the same in twenty years because science
Speaker 1: is telling us how wrong it is to hit each
Speaker 1: other in the head over and over and over and
Speaker 1: over and over again. How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: You know what? I there's definitely some proven facts that
Speaker 1: the NFL will not discuss, and they, as a business,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't discuss it. Like I get it. As a business,
Speaker 1: you don't want the thing that's gonna kill your business
Speaker 1: out there. But let me let me bring this up though,
Speaker 1: so you know, they talk about like the you know,
Speaker 1: parents are gonna let your kids play Pop Warner football
Speaker 1: and a lot of people say no, and those are
Speaker 1: the but those are like the suburban families, white collar
Speaker 1: you know, like well off families that are saying that
Speaker 1: other kids lacrosse, swimming and you before we move on,
Speaker 1: you're right because that come from a very poor school.
Speaker 1: We had two and half sports. We had football, we
Speaker 1: had basketball, and I played baseball. We didn't have a
Speaker 1: home field, so you're right, like we didn't have those
Speaker 1: other rich kids sports and those but those kids never
Speaker 1: make it to the NFL. The kids that make from
Speaker 1: the NFL are from Florida, that all they do is
Speaker 1: play basketball and track and football and that's their way out.
Speaker 1: And those parents and those kids are gonna be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm for sure, I don't care that my kid maybe
Speaker 1: have CT and at age fifty, I think it's going
Speaker 1: to come down from even higher though they're run from
Speaker 1: a state level. They're going to have to eventually, because again,
Speaker 1: as time goes on and we start to see our heroes,
Speaker 1: because with television turning into social media turning into what everything,
Speaker 1: we're starting to see the Jim McMahon's, we're gonna see
Speaker 1: the Brett Farbes, We're going to see the people. Really,
Speaker 1: we're gonna see them start to just crumble in front
Speaker 1: of our own eyes. And that's what it takes to
Speaker 1: see change. It takes a prominent person. It takes something
Speaker 1: bad to a prominent person, and then something real bad
Speaker 1: happened to seven prominent people, and then we're like whoa.
Speaker 1: Because again, we're a very selfish society. We like to
Speaker 1: see what entertains us and that's it. We don't care
Speaker 1: about anything outside of our bubble. And when the people
Speaker 1: that entertain us start starting to effect, then we're like,
Speaker 1: whoa there's there's something wrong here. If my hero is
Speaker 1: getting sick because of this, it's what about wrestling? What
Speaker 1: about w w that's not that's not the same thing. Sure,
Speaker 1: sure it is, but what about Oh no, no, it's
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the head hitting though. Like with football,
Speaker 1: you're talking about hit and listen, you're the NFL player.
Speaker 1: I'm just I played through twelfth grade and then that
Speaker 1: was in my football career. But just you know, reading
Speaker 1: all of the reports, and I'm really into science and
Speaker 1: I love it just isn't good to have heads here
Speaker 1: over and over again. It's horrible. And we're seeing all
Speaker 1: of these players now that we know and watched, get
Speaker 1: this brand disease, the CT and and it's kind of that.
Speaker 1: People are getting bigger and faster, and they're getting bigger
Speaker 1: and faster faster than the technology is getting better. Because
Speaker 1: technology is getting better, the helmets are getting better, but
Speaker 1: it's not. The rules will definitely change. There will be
Speaker 1: no kickoff returns in the next ten years. Two things.
Speaker 1: There won't be movie theaters and kickoff returns. The better
Speaker 1: be a long snapper, the better not get rid of
Speaker 1: my position. They will, but you'll be out of the league.
Speaker 1: By then, what's the use of that. There's not gonna
Speaker 1: be a use for it, because they're going to have
Speaker 1: to stop the extra things like a kick return or
Speaker 1: a punt return where you can just go, we'll just
Speaker 1: start the ball here forty yards down. You'll be the
Speaker 1: only any more about that. It's like radio for me,
Speaker 1: like it's changing so much. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: I love the fact that I can do this, Like
Speaker 1: we're the number two podcasts in the whole. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: Planet of Comedy in the top. And this is what
Speaker 1: radio is gonna be, though, Like it's gonna be and
Speaker 1: the NFL is going to have to change, agree with Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no question, like take that. Take the helmets off people.
Speaker 1: You see people not get hit in the head, pull
Speaker 1: the helmets off. Yeah, And but again people like, well,
Speaker 1: soccer balls hit him in the head. Okay, stop stop
Speaker 1: with the soccer balls hitting you in the head. That's
Speaker 1: not the same thing as two pound three pound guys
Speaker 1: slamming each other hard. Soccer take over America, yeah, eventually,
Speaker 1: because it's international. Because you're seeing international takeover. We're the
Speaker 1: United States is the United States, and we're bigger and
Speaker 1: better than everybody in our minds and culturally we set
Speaker 1: the standard except for Asia and even then some but
Speaker 1: I got to go to Japan and I got to
Speaker 1: see that American really matter that much. They have their
Speaker 1: own set of celebrities and stars and screw America like
Speaker 1: they got they have. Well we we just don't have,
Speaker 1: but they have. But we're right now where the cultural leaders.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be like that forever. It's becoming
Speaker 1: more of a world because we're so easy to connect
Speaker 1: with everybody. I should have been a pro golfer that golf.
Speaker 1: I have friends that. It's just that's crazy. That's a
Speaker 1: different kind of Athlete's awesome. It's a it's a much
Speaker 1: more of a cerebral thing. Is that my get hailing outside?
Speaker 1: They were letting schools out because of thunderstorms. Today, the
Speaker 1: kids down here soft. I don't know why thunderstorms and
Speaker 1: it didn't even thunderstorm. That's twice in two weeks they've
Speaker 1: let people out for thunderstorms and nothing happened. Again. If
Speaker 1: there was a tornado warning. When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: we went to school and if it didn't hit, you
Speaker 1: just got into the fringing desk and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: let's see what happened in California earthquakes, and we were
Speaker 1: get out of the desk, cover your head like taking
Speaker 1: hands in class women, then put the top of your head.
Speaker 1: Turn the lights off. For some reason, I don't know
Speaker 1: why that added a shield or something. Maybe it made
Speaker 1: everybody quiet, I would assume, because it's like in your
Speaker 1: car whenever you have to like find somebody, turn your
Speaker 1: volume down to your car. Really, but you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: if you focus, it helps me focus the mood. The
Speaker 1: music helps the mood. So you okay. I guess you
Speaker 1: and I met a fish. Why don't we meet? I
Speaker 1: don't even I don't remember meeting a couple of years,
Speaker 1: maybe three years now, two years. You know what it was?
Speaker 1: It was to a C. You're right, because I've known
Speaker 1: a C for a long time through Andy Rotic, who
Speaker 1: was one of the best friends. But a C and
Speaker 1: Andy your friends, and a C and I became buds
Speaker 1: because and I don't when I want a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: Indian um. I watched the Giants beat the Patriots and
Speaker 1: a C took us, and I still felt bad about this.
Speaker 1: And Anthony Collins is his name, right, I'll let him
Speaker 1: as a c oh Anthony Calhoun, Anthony Calhoun I don't
Speaker 1: even know, but everyone knows him as I don't even
Speaker 1: know him as his real name. People don't know he's
Speaker 1: don't know he's Bobby Yest. I bet he wouldn't even
Speaker 1: know my real last name. But that's okay because whatever
Speaker 1: A C was like, Hey, I'm gonna take your dinner
Speaker 1: and we go to this place that has a hot
Speaker 1: shamp or something what's it called. Okay, He's like, you
Speaker 1: gotta go there. He's like, you know, it's where tourist
Speaker 1: count or Peyton Manning would go and they we're like
Speaker 1: a devis and he paid for the whole mill and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, dude, Like it's a nice of
Speaker 1: you because he's like the nicest guy ever. And I'm
Speaker 1: a total douche bag for not knowing his real last name.
Speaker 1: But um, I remember eating those hot Everybody does that
Speaker 1: in Indy, right, they go to that place tourist thing,
Speaker 1: the cocktail sauce. That is that tourist thing. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not local people don't do that, No, they still do.
Speaker 1: I think it's overrated, for sure. There's probably three or
Speaker 1: four steakhouses better than Saint almost but Sam was is
Speaker 1: very it's very, very good. Why are you in Nashville? Like,
Speaker 1: what in that? Okay? You you didn't go Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a great it's a really you don't play ball here.
Speaker 1: There's really nothing here that brought you here except itself.
Speaker 1: So why what about it brought you to here? You know,
Speaker 1: I was looking for. I love Indie, I really do.
Speaker 1: I will always live in Indie. I don't ever foresee
Speaker 1: myself moving back to the West Coast. My family is
Speaker 1: slowly kind of trickling away. California is just a disaster.
Speaker 1: It's a nightmare. And uh, I think my dad's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be in either Nevada, Arizona, or Idaho within the
Speaker 1: next ten years. And then, um my mom's in Seattle,
Speaker 1: and so just my friends are back there. Really, I mean,
Speaker 1: all my family is on the West Coast. But um ever,
Speaker 1: since being in the Midwest, man, I just felt like
Speaker 1: this is where I was meant to be. And it
Speaker 1: started with Omaha. I was in Omaha for a couple
Speaker 1: of years. That's a really cool town. Yeah, two really
Speaker 1: cool town at ex girlfriends from there, and now I
Speaker 1: go there and they have the College World Series I
Speaker 1: played in the minor league football team out there before
Speaker 1: coming to Indian I played the old Rosenblatt Stadium, like
Speaker 1: you played a rain of ball. No, we played. It
Speaker 1: was the UFL that started and it was one of
Speaker 1: the minor league teams for the NFL and it lasted
Speaker 1: about five years. But I was fortunate enough to play
Speaker 1: in Omaha for two years, and so I just fell
Speaker 1: in love at that town. Do you have to have
Speaker 1: a second job when you played in the UFL. No,
Speaker 1: we made really good money. Really, I would just play.
Speaker 1: I would play in Omaha for about three months, head
Speaker 1: home where guys would sign on with NFL teams after
Speaker 1: the season. So, so you do that. How do you
Speaker 1: go from the UFL to the NFL. You just go
Speaker 1: try out? Um, yeah, I was. I was in Arizona
Speaker 1: training at the time, and I went to a specials
Speaker 1: camp that was just only for long snappers, pointers and kickers.
Speaker 1: I was trying out there and qualified for it. And
Speaker 1: then uh, the Coults assistant coaches they're scouting and that's
Speaker 1: kind of Is there that much of a difference and
Speaker 1: long snappers, Yeah, there's there's definitely the biggest issue. The
Speaker 1: biggest difference really from college. The pros is the blocking ability.
Speaker 1: They don't block in college and where we have to
Speaker 1: block at the NFL. I guess people can come right
Speaker 1: at you and you're blocking, you know, three hundred pound
Speaker 1: guys sometimes, you know. So that's that was the hardest
Speaker 1: transition for me, Like how do you and just the
Speaker 1: mental side of it though, to the pressure, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I went to a small college where I played
Speaker 1: in front of like maybe three thousand people a game,
Speaker 1: and then you go to the NFL where you're playing
Speaker 1: in front of seventy and you're on national TV every week.
Speaker 1: It's like walking me through this though, because you're down
Speaker 1: and you have to snap the ball between your legs
Speaker 1: punter a kicker. Now your body goes backward, your arms,
Speaker 1: your head go backward in the same direction as someone's
Speaker 1: hitting you. So all of this four is going backward
Speaker 1: toward the punter kicker as it's hitting you. You have
Speaker 1: to stop what they're doing and push them. It doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like say it isn't like a very vulnerable position
Speaker 1: is And they've and they've changed the rules to help
Speaker 1: protect the long snappers. Um, and so I'm lucky that
Speaker 1: I came in with the new rules. The old rules
Speaker 1: used to be anybody can line up head over you
Speaker 1: and blow you up, and they change that because guys
Speaker 1: are getting hurt. And uh, but I have guys on
Speaker 1: my right and left side of me that helped me.
Speaker 1: They you know, they protect me as well. Is that
Speaker 1: also a kind of an unwritten rule that you don't
Speaker 1: just pound the long snapper right now? They do well,
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it's not like, is there a
Speaker 1: respect for like give him a half second because you
Speaker 1: could really hurt them? Or is it just you know,
Speaker 1: I just think the position's got so much better that
Speaker 1: you can't They can't really do that anymore, just because
Speaker 1: guys are so much faster. They stop people from jumping
Speaker 1: over just now. Yeah, like you can't jump over the
Speaker 1: line anymore. And you feel like that, you know, it
Speaker 1: happened to me twice, and uh, I thought it was
Speaker 1: a great play where they jumped over the top of you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then I've also I've also flipped guys who have
Speaker 1: tried to jump over me. Um, trying to feel good right,
Speaker 1: like like j J Watter one of those guys doing it, Oh,
Speaker 1: I love it? Has he tried to jump you flipped no,
Speaker 1: because he's super athletic, and of course he makes me
Speaker 1: look stupid. But I try, but he and he doesn't.
Speaker 1: He doesn't block the kick, which is the ultimate goal, right,
Speaker 1: what's the deal with that dude? J J. Watt? Like,
Speaker 1: I always feel like his teammates probably ate him. I
Speaker 1: don't know he's do you know him at all? I've
Speaker 1: met him a couple of times. In the first encounter
Speaker 1: I had with J. J. Watt was hilarious. We before
Speaker 1: the game, the specialists all kind of hang out. We
Speaker 1: all know each other. It's a little it's a little fraternity.
Speaker 1: We have right specialist meaning if you're on special teams
Speaker 1: for those snapper, so we always meet the other team snapper, punter,
Speaker 1: and kicker because we usually know each other, you know,
Speaker 1: and uh so we we mix and mingle, you know,
Speaker 1: pre game on usually around the oline and we're playing
Speaker 1: Houston this game, this is before J. J. Watt was
Speaker 1: like d J J. Watt and we're in we're in
Speaker 1: the huddle. We're just bullshitting and alsodden. This enormous human
Speaker 1: literally walks in the middle of our ring, our circle,
Speaker 1: spits on the ground and then does like a bull
Speaker 1: like with his legs and then he pounds his chest
Speaker 1: and he and he runs and starts his warm up
Speaker 1: and we all looked like at the other guys, who
Speaker 1: the hell is that guy? That's j J. Watt market territory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we on his field. Yeah, where you want. We're on
Speaker 1: the logo. Yeah, so you can't be on the log
Speaker 1: you know better than that. But no one does that
Speaker 1: what J J did. Oh no, I agree, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But still you're putting yourself in a
Speaker 1: bad spot if you're standing on the other team's logo.
Speaker 1: This is pre pregame though we're in sweats and shorts
Speaker 1: at this point. But J J. Watt does like the
Speaker 1: let me go out an hour earlier, two hours early
Speaker 1: run around sweat. That's why I think people get annoyed
Speaker 1: with him, like he's awesome, crazy athlete to watch you
Speaker 1: do that big jump that high just watching his workout.
Speaker 1: I'll watch his workout and be like, holy crap, this
Speaker 1: is amazing And I don't know him. But I don't
Speaker 1: know him at all, although my friend does is the
Speaker 1: head of all marketing of the Texans and she likes him.
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard anything bad about him. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining he's a douchebag. He's a huge meathead,
Speaker 1: which I love. You know, that would be the reason
Speaker 1: why because I always got beat up by the meatheads.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I probably hate that we're getting done
Speaker 1: of the deep stuff. I'm just jealous, probably, like I'm
Speaker 1: just feeling very jealous right now. J J. White and
Speaker 1: but and they also put them in a lot of places,
Speaker 1: like they want him to be the superstars, so they
Speaker 1: put him as belt on the ball tight end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a monster dud and he he's been
Speaker 1: three time defense MVP. Man, it's incredible. Body's already breaking
Speaker 1: down though. Yeah. Man, his back is not good at
Speaker 1: hear by Tony Romo. Good for him. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 1: Do you ever play against him? Yeah? Once did. They
Speaker 1: destroyed us, But you weren't on the You were never
Speaker 1: trying to think you were never on the filled him.
Speaker 1: He was ever just in passing, you know, like pregame,
Speaker 1: running in the tunnel a halftime. You ever go say
Speaker 1: hi to anybody after a game, just so you could
Speaker 1: say you said hi to them, like when you're crossing
Speaker 1: out like I did. I did Tim Tebow. You had to.
Speaker 1: So I got a dude like wa version of Tebow
Speaker 1: Denver or the Jets or Jets when he was on
Speaker 1: his decline. Okay, well his decline. Someone I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: the opposite about Tebow is that what j I don't
Speaker 1: know how the one of them from what I haven't
Speaker 1: no one heard. People love Tim Tebow like as a person,
Speaker 1: like as a human Ray loves Can you take a
Speaker 1: picture with him? But like I'll talk to people in
Speaker 1: media and they're like, he's nice in person, and he
Speaker 1: has on TV he's incredible. I don't know how he
Speaker 1: does it. So you go and you go to do
Speaker 1: you a fan girl on on Tim Tebow? Right? How
Speaker 1: does that first? It first starts out, so Tim is
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that's like pregame pre game guy.
Speaker 1: He's out there with like the bands and doing like
Speaker 1: a worked like crossfoot workout, and he's thrown and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff out there and McAfee he were
Speaker 1: warming up in punts and he literally just sales a
Speaker 1: bomb sixty yards and this is going straight to Tim
Speaker 1: Tebow's head. He would be dead pregame and it literally
Speaker 1: goes right over his shoulder and hits right behind him
Speaker 1: and Tim looks around like what the hell just happened?
Speaker 1: And Pat was like, oh my god, I just almost
Speaker 1: killed Jesus. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: has some respect, because I'm like all about Tim Tebow,
Speaker 1: like because everyone give him crap, me too, and that's
Speaker 1: why I rooted for him. Everybody love him, man. And
Speaker 1: so after the game, we did our prayer circle and dude,
Speaker 1: I had to be next to him. Dude, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to get on knee because Tim led the
Speaker 1: prayer man. Yeah, and there was a picture, of course taken,
Speaker 1: and of course I had to. Like, dude, it's like
Speaker 1: one of my favorite pictures. That's funny. Yeah, so Tebow,
Speaker 1: anybody else that you purposely said, hey, good game too,
Speaker 1: like you met you try to find him at the
Speaker 1: end of the game. Rock for sure, big guy, enormous
Speaker 1: like I see numbers on paper, but until you meet
Speaker 1: a human, you really don't know enormous. He's six six
Speaker 1: to seventy. He seems like he's eleven. He is, but
Speaker 1: he's just a man child. But again, he seems like
Speaker 1: he's eleven years old, like he acts like for sure,
Speaker 1: the whole family does. And that's not even a bad thing,
Speaker 1: Like he just is a kid all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his brother Chris was on the Colts when I first
Speaker 1: got there. Hilarious. Yeah, we played golf together all the time,
Speaker 1: and he had it. He played with SpongeBob score pants balls,
Speaker 1: you know, and if you would shank one into the forest,
Speaker 1: he would have to go find it. He's like, dude,
Speaker 1: I can't lose sponge that he would go digg in
Speaker 1: the woods for his ball and he'd find it. Was
Speaker 1: there any jealousy between the Gronkowski brothers, I have no idea. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know Gronk. The Gronkowskis are are big because of
Speaker 1: you know, the main Gronk. You know, there's there's three
Speaker 1: brothers that there might be four, and then there's a
Speaker 1: new one just coming up to is there. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: out of college. There's four and uh so I know Chris.
Speaker 1: Obviously Rob's the more popular one, and then there's the
Speaker 1: oldest one. Um. They all played football, they're all both
Speaker 1: Rob and his brother played for the Patriot the same
Speaker 1: time for a while. I was last year before the
Speaker 1: they end up cutting the other one bit and J
Speaker 1: J J wats younger brothers in the league that just now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're moving him around to trying to figure out
Speaker 1: where to put up. Yeah, it supposed to be a
Speaker 1: first rounder like and you know, and workouts they're putting
Speaker 1: up in the test they put in like three or
Speaker 1: four places. It's incredible. Great jeans. You in high school?
Speaker 1: Were you rated jib star? No, so you weren't recruited hard. Really,
Speaker 1: it's just it's a scholarship offer that to go junior
Speaker 1: college first. It's wild you're now in the NFL. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a testament to it's not always about where you start.
Speaker 1: It's always about that middle and how you end up
Speaker 1: finishing it. Yeah, it's just hanging in man, really is
Speaker 1: It's an attitude. There was times where I didn't believe
Speaker 1: in myself, but I always had somebody there, whether it's
Speaker 1: family members or other other friends or teammates that continue
Speaker 1: to encourage me. Tell me about long snapping. If you
Speaker 1: screwed up because you only have started abound of shots
Speaker 1: a game, Like how many snaps a game? Do you
Speaker 1: probably get twelve to fifteen? Okay, let's say you get fifteen,
Speaker 1: So you get fifteen shots. If you bought one of
Speaker 1: those fifteen ruins, your whole week, you feel like a
Speaker 1: piece of crap your whole week. Oh like the whole year.
Speaker 1: I remember I remember poor snaps from three or four
Speaker 1: years ago, like over the head of the plant, and
Speaker 1: I haven't done that. Whe I would knock on this table. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. So you haven't over snapped a punter,
Speaker 1: but you've bad snapping a field goal. No, don't want
Speaker 1: to be bad snapps to my I mean just like
Speaker 1: not when when the punter has to move or I've
Speaker 1: put on the ground on the punt um. It's just
Speaker 1: not up to our a standard. So it may be
Speaker 1: missed by just watching TV, may not notice it, or
Speaker 1: it may not be a big deal, but to us
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. You ever made a really cool tackle? Yeah,
Speaker 1: or you're like, I need you go find a picture
Speaker 1: of that, Like, for sure there are cameras everyone. I
Speaker 1: gotta go find a picture of that tackle. Dannie am
Speaker 1: mondole against the Patriots. Um, I was gonna tackle against
Speaker 1: Patriots pretty awesome. So he what he broke coverage? Then
Speaker 1: if you're getting to them, they've broken coverage and you
Speaker 1: and the punter of the last two people. You're getting
Speaker 1: down the field. Yeah, really, yeah, I'll prove it. I'll
Speaker 1: bring it in to the the show or something. I mean,
Speaker 1: I run down the field pretty fast. I'm pretty pretty
Speaker 1: quick for a long snapper. So you get down the
Speaker 1: field and you're the first one there. Second, he missed
Speaker 1: the first the first guy missed and I cleaned him up.
Speaker 1: Am adults a taxi tack guy, right, I believe so
Speaker 1: right about that. And so and you go find the
Speaker 1: picture immediately. Julian Eelman. I've one tackling Edelman. Yeah he was,
Speaker 1: he was. He was at the A C M S.
Speaker 1: He was at the A C. Yeah, I didn't see him.
Speaker 1: I saw his head on cardboard. Great great beard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those guys are all good looking. It's like the good
Speaker 1: looking and super athletic, and it sucks that can have
Speaker 1: it all. Tom Brady, Gronk Avendola, Julian Edelman. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like and Gronk isn't that good looking, but
Speaker 1: he's huge and he's really freaking good like he's I
Speaker 1: don't like it him and get jealous because he's got
Speaker 1: it all. He's big. But there are a lot of
Speaker 1: big guys. There are a lot of You still have
Speaker 1: to have a work etic like crazy to be elite,
Speaker 1: and all those guys do, and you can be as
Speaker 1: big as you want. I've seen some monster guys were
Speaker 1: just big put In and Gronk puts in work. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: he just he does. He does his thing outside of work,
Speaker 1: but when he's at work, he's a grinder. I can
Speaker 1: see air Tan. The quarterbacks are mostly good looking guys. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is. It's probably it's got
Speaker 1: to be a high school junior high thing. That's amundola. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that you brought it looks like it was a
Speaker 1: it was Ady three over there? Is that a gun
Speaker 1: Dayanne Allen? He's now a Patriot. They just traded into
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Yeah. This rivalry thing in the NFL is
Speaker 1: it raal or no? Yes? For some teams? Why though,
Speaker 1: because tomorrow you could be on the other team. It's
Speaker 1: not like hometown teams were like you represent Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think it's like division rivals. Like they say, the
Speaker 1: Patriots for US are arrival and they were when Peyton was.
Speaker 1: I would see Peyton and Brady that would be cool
Speaker 1: because they wanted now we've lost by forty points every
Speaker 1: time he played well that though, what was arrival because
Speaker 1: of those two players, Like the best two quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: NFL are playing right now, yeah, or or you have
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, traditionally, Kansas City and the Raiders
Speaker 1: are always a big rival, which because you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know why, but nobody cares. Yeah, yeah, it's but
Speaker 1: it's still you know who the Jets and the Giants
Speaker 1: because of proximity. Yeah, and then and then the Jets
Speaker 1: and the Jets and the Patriots and the Bills and stuff.
Speaker 1: That's the same of it divisional. But still I don't
Speaker 1: think players were when I grew up. When I grew up,
Speaker 1: it was four Niners and Cowboys because they were the
Speaker 1: winning franchises. You know, they were the two teams from
Speaker 1: the NFC that were winning all this going to the
Speaker 1: A and they would play in the NFC Championship game
Speaker 1: every year. And it was Montana or Young and Jerry
Speaker 1: Rice versus eight Man with Emmett Smith and you know,
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin. And but it's not like Alabama versus or whatever.
Speaker 1: The big it's not Auburn Alabama. But again, because a
Speaker 1: lot of the kids and it's changing a bit, but
Speaker 1: a lot of the kids are from the general area
Speaker 1: of the school. For in college, not all because you'll
Speaker 1: see some Florida kids, you know, go play at Oregon
Speaker 1: or but in college. That's why I think the crowds
Speaker 1: are a little crazier because these are home. This is home,
Speaker 1: and these kids are a lot of There are a
Speaker 1: lot of home kids, and there's a lot of tradition
Speaker 1: in those in families. All of those kids go to
Speaker 1: school there because their grandparents went there, dad played there
Speaker 1: or whatever. And then like so I guess it's not
Speaker 1: really it's the NFL pumping the rival. It's not really
Speaker 1: us being like that's what I'm saying, Like, I just
Speaker 1: think if playing against anybody, yeah, it's like we get
Speaker 1: after with Houston quite a bit. That's like our division,
Speaker 1: right because you're competing for a playoff spot against it.
Speaker 1: But it's not like circle that one on the calendar
Speaker 1: because we're playing in Houston, Texans. It's got to be
Speaker 1: pretty cool though, like circle on the calendar because you're
Speaker 1: playing somebody awesome though like a pay it's a game
Speaker 1: like if or or on TV. Yeah, but if it's
Speaker 1: like you're gonna play the Patriots and you actually get
Speaker 1: to play against Tom Brady. That's gotta be cool because
Speaker 1: how many times in your life you get to play
Speaker 1: against somebody who has changed sports culture? And playing in
Speaker 1: Foxboro is like awesome? Who who are the the coolest
Speaker 1: players that you've seen with your own eyeballs on the field.
Speaker 1: That's all Ray Lewis, Dude, I was. I played against
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis in his last NFL game in Baltimore. In Baltimore,
Speaker 1: it was in the playoffs, and as he just like
Speaker 1: and I can tell my right little story a minute,
Speaker 1: but it is he just loud and yeah, he's an animal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he he's really good at pumping everybody up. I
Speaker 1: always if I like someone and spent a little time
Speaker 1: with them, and I don't get close to a lot
Speaker 1: of people, but if I do get close to someone
Speaker 1: and they tell me that someone is a good person,
Speaker 1: I believe them. And so I'm friends with Dion Sanders
Speaker 1: and we've been friends for a couple of years now,
Speaker 1: and he loves Ray and it's just like I can't
Speaker 1: say enough good things about him. So just because of that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Rayless gotta be like, listen, we all have
Speaker 1: our faults. We're all douche bags and and but he's
Speaker 1: just like, you know what that dude is Like what
Speaker 1: you see is really what you get. Like as far
Speaker 1: as he likes to help people, like he likes to
Speaker 1: do good and seeing seeing him come out his his
Speaker 1: introduction at the last game in Baltimore, I mean they
Speaker 1: literally had a piece of grass that they would bring
Speaker 1: out for him to pick up and throw because it
Speaker 1: was it was to her field, and so literally everyone
Speaker 1: on the sideline we it was that was a big
Speaker 1: headline of the week, ray Lewis's last home game, and
Speaker 1: everyone on our sideline, every coach, executive, owner, dude, we
Speaker 1: did not want to miss the ray Lewis introduction. For
Speaker 1: those that aren't huge sports fans, if you listen to this,
Speaker 1: imagine our pro wrestler coming out and as he's getting
Speaker 1: to the ring like doing this big arm gesture was
Speaker 1: like that's what ray Lewis would do when he would
Speaker 1: come out, and it was a little dance and was
Speaker 1: flames and it's like just intense. So you saw ray
Speaker 1: Lewis and that was cool. Who else would you see
Speaker 1: in person? And go? May it was? You tell your
Speaker 1: kids if you haven't when you have them. I got
Speaker 1: to play against this person, I mean Peyton for sure,
Speaker 1: Brady Aaron Rodgers Peyton at Denver. Yeah, and we've we
Speaker 1: beat him. We're I think we're three and three and
Speaker 1: two against Denver. Beat him in the playoffs was awesome though, Yeah, Denver,
Speaker 1: And that was a big one for Luck because that
Speaker 1: was Luck and Manning. Yeah, and then we went and
Speaker 1: got destroyed by New England next week. Is it whenever
Speaker 1: you go to the playoffs different? Is it flip switch everybody? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. It heats up big time. It's it's because
Speaker 1: the season so long that the entire month of December,
Speaker 1: if you're not fighting for the playoffs and you kind
Speaker 1: of already have that already locked in that you can
Speaker 1: afford to lose a one or two games, you're fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's different because guy's rest. They need the rest. But
Speaker 1: you once January second hits or whatever, the first week
Speaker 1: of playoffs, it's like everyone's recharged, man, and this is
Speaker 1: what you play for. And it sucks to lose because
Speaker 1: you have to start all over again. How good is
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck? Really good? Because I know how good they
Speaker 1: tell me he is, and I know how good. I'm
Speaker 1: a sports fan. I know I see and it. Again,
Speaker 1: these are your personnel people. But it doesn't look to
Speaker 1: me like he has the weapons to be elite because
Speaker 1: you got to have things around you. Um, and you
Speaker 1: have coming on that at all. But but you know,
Speaker 1: coming out of out of college and he you know,
Speaker 1: Andrew like playing Stanford and was there was the arguments
Speaker 1: that r G three was as good as him. Only
Speaker 1: a few people would would say that. But Luck was
Speaker 1: like that generational quarterback. And that's why they let Peyt
Speaker 1: main and go. That's a big deal in Indie for
Speaker 1: them to come out and go. Okay, I said to
Speaker 1: Peyton together they came out and then they had a
Speaker 1: press conference. That doesn't happen. Andrew Luck respected liked. Is
Speaker 1: he quiet talking? I mean, what's his personality? Just different man,
Speaker 1: He's he's he's buried to himself. He loves what he does.
Speaker 1: He was made to be a franchise quarterback and they're
Speaker 1: just guys that like have it. He has it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's in there, first guy and the last
Speaker 1: guy out kind of thing. Um. You know, he has
Speaker 1: no social media. You don't really know what he does.
Speaker 1: He's got the flip phone thing that that things are
Speaker 1: legitimate flip phone from ten years ago. Is that a
Speaker 1: thing though now? Or is that just really yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean he hates photos. He just like the only thing
Speaker 1: he does have his Facebook. That's because he wants to Stanford.
Speaker 1: It's like, there's all right, he's supporting each other kind
Speaker 1: of thing. I don't know, it's a he probably a
Speaker 1: stock in it or something. What's what's the goal for you?
Speaker 1: For me, man, I want to win, win a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl and be respect I think respect from your peers
Speaker 1: is it's pretty awesome. You did make the Pro Bowl?
Speaker 1: I did? Yeah, how do you make the Pro Bowl?
Speaker 1: It's a long snapper? Like, what's the difference. It's it's
Speaker 1: voted on by coaches, so you get that respect and
Speaker 1: you know, my coach had to say for me on
Speaker 1: that um and so it's different. I you know it,
Speaker 1: I didn't think I deserve to be in the in
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl that year. Is there somebody that is like,
Speaker 1: that's the best long snapper in the league. It kind
Speaker 1: of changes from year to year, but there's a core,
Speaker 1: you know, five to six guys that are just always
Speaker 1: really really good at a thirty two. You know, and
Speaker 1: I and I would love to be. I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm quite there yet in that upper in my opinion,
Speaker 1: um up in that top three, I want to be.
Speaker 1: I want to be respected as the best, you know.
Speaker 1: And I hate it when they say, oh when they
Speaker 1: when you when you hear the name of the long snapper,
Speaker 1: that must be a bad thing. You know, you want
Speaker 1: to be the guy unto the radar. You want to
Speaker 1: You don't want your name in the headlines and you
Speaker 1: don't want to you know, fans to know your name, Like, no,
Speaker 1: screw that. I want to be known for being really
Speaker 1: good at what I do and making tackles and that's how.
Speaker 1: But just being like yeah, but being a great teammate
Speaker 1: and like being respected because when I came in first,
Speaker 1: like guys would haggle me all the time, like like, oh,
Speaker 1: what do you do at practice? You don't do ship?
Speaker 1: You know, you don't what do you know? What we do? Man?
Speaker 1: We work or maybe we're not with the team all
Speaker 1: the time. We're doing our own thing all the time
Speaker 1: with our own coach, doing individual stuff. But it's one
Speaker 1: of those things like no one wants our job. On
Speaker 1: Sunday but they want our job, you know, Monday through Saturday.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And uh, I just think
Speaker 1: it's it's awesome being with Vinitary, right because everyone in
Speaker 1: the NFL respects him because he's every fan respect respects him,
Speaker 1: even not a sports fan. Adam Minitary is known, I
Speaker 1: would say most super kicking the field goal in the snow.
Speaker 1: He's made some he's made. He's the clutch kicker in
Speaker 1: the league right now, like he's the clutch Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: is the best to ever do it. And guys swap
Speaker 1: jerseys with him a games, Yeah, like quarterbacks, receivers, like
Speaker 1: big time names, so they must do that. Then not
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Occasionally you'll see that,
Speaker 1: but in soccer they do that a lot. They'll go
Speaker 1: out and twitch jerseys so they you guys are jersey
Speaker 1: switching like outside of games. Yeah, but you have to
Speaker 1: be like a ball or the switcher jersey. Do you
Speaker 1: ever ask him for autograph? Who any player? It was
Speaker 1: weird at the Pro Bowl because I had my family
Speaker 1: did I treated the Pro Bowl like it was my time, right.
Speaker 1: I brought my family best friends out there and rightfully so,
Speaker 1: like this was an awesome opportunity, huge achievement and Hawaii.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, dude from Western Washington, undrafted cut I dude,
Speaker 1: I had to bring everybody that was there for me.
Speaker 1: This is it, you know. And we partied hard the
Speaker 1: entire week, and it is it is a party. You
Speaker 1: kind of forget why you're there. And obviously you're you're
Speaker 1: at an exclusive resort. You're on the beach all day
Speaker 1: and uh. And then I have my grandmother and God
Speaker 1: bless her soul man. She she's like the super fan.
Speaker 1: She was one of my jersey probably a little too
Speaker 1: much in the lobby, running around and introducing herself to
Speaker 1: all the families, right, And she's the one that asked
Speaker 1: for autographs. Even my my mom does too. And they
Speaker 1: had my mom and her best friend were there and
Speaker 1: they were they had rooms. As to how we long?
Speaker 1: How long by the way Raiders defensive? Great? Yes, And
Speaker 1: we're from the Bay Area, so everyone loves long and
Speaker 1: on TV not to peopleouldn't good looking family and his
Speaker 1: his son was in the Pro Bowl and Kyle and
Speaker 1: so of course they're they're fan girling the whole week.
Speaker 1: They're you know, like whenever they hear the door open
Speaker 1: next door, they run out there to see who's there.
Speaker 1: And you know, by the end of the week they
Speaker 1: bugged me so much that I had to introduce them,
Speaker 1: get the autographs, to get the photo. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's cool, but I hate asking, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying because I I don't like asking artists. I
Speaker 1: don't have artists signed things, yeah, because I'm always like, man,
Speaker 1: I want them to come around me and just feel
Speaker 1: like they're normal people. And so unless it's for a charity,
Speaker 1: I don't get things signed. I used to, but now
Speaker 1: it's just like I don't want them to feel like
Speaker 1: I'm like trying to get something from them, for sure.
Speaker 1: So I hate asking because obviously I get asked for
Speaker 1: andrew Lux stuff all the time. Oh you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit to say. I'm like, hey, can you give
Speaker 1: me about into something, And I'm always like I don't.
Speaker 1: And some of these people, even with you, some of
Speaker 1: these are like buds of mine, and you don't want
Speaker 1: to go to your buddy and be like, hey, Paisley,
Speaker 1: let me get just just give me a little sign.
Speaker 1: You signed this for me real quick right here. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a weird slow it's like, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: don't get wrong, it's awesome. We're in a very bus place, no,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. So what I do now to
Speaker 1: get autographs is I'll put a ball out on the table.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys do this now, so we have
Speaker 1: a table in the locker room and it simply just says, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, sign it. This is for what it's for,
Speaker 1: who it's for, So be like Matt Overton, this is
Speaker 1: for a charity. And guys are cool and everyone will
Speaker 1: sign it. But going up, hey, man, do you mind?
Speaker 1: He and my cousin from you know, Arkansas, he really
Speaker 1: wants your autograph, Like, I hate that. It's awful. Even
Speaker 1: though he'll do it, you wouldn't care. It's just an
Speaker 1: awkward You're right, they wouldn't care. Is that? But it
Speaker 1: just I don't know what. I don't know one artist
Speaker 1: that would be like I care. They would all be like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'll sign whatever you want. There are
Speaker 1: some guys that I've seen, though, that do care. I
Speaker 1: want to ask you who, because I don't put you
Speaker 1: in a bad place. But I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: all there's one or one artist in particular who has
Speaker 1: a terrible reputation being really horrible to their fans, like
Speaker 1: really really horrible, like you go out together. I don't either.
Speaker 1: I think it's just I just feel like it's a
Speaker 1: personality issue or something, or they really just think they're
Speaker 1: that much better than somebody. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: get it. I don't get it either. And it's and
Speaker 1: you know what, here's my role too, about when artists
Speaker 1: come in, you have a bad interview and you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get along the first time. It could have been me.
Speaker 1: It could have been that you're having a bad day.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that overall that there's something broken between us.
Speaker 1: Because I did not like Jason Aldan the first time.
Speaker 1: I bet him. I was like, this dude that will
Speaker 1: never get along, We will never be even buddies at all.
Speaker 1: Completely wrong, And it's aldi not I have done actually
Speaker 1: played shows together. I mean this, I opened for him. Um,
Speaker 1: he's done any chairity, We've done a lot of Now
Speaker 1: what are we going to just hang out every weekend? No?
Speaker 1: But that crazy disconnect that was there at first, because
Speaker 1: we're pretty different people. Just I was completely wrong about him. Brantley,
Speaker 1: sweet guy, you look at him and you would go
Speaker 1: in a way. I've met him, he's great, great, and
Speaker 1: but it's some people you don't expect. Sometimes they are
Speaker 1: just like total douche bags and you're like why, but
Speaker 1: more than once, if it's once, it's a Christian aguilar role.
Speaker 1: She's awful. She's always been awful, every time matters has
Speaker 1: been terrible. Just she's so if you're Christian Aguilary, I
Speaker 1: got no, you're just bad if you're not Christiana Aguilarity
Speaker 1: yet and I've had a couple of bad experiences. It
Speaker 1: just could be me. It could be me, it could
Speaker 1: be you, it could be somebody had a bad day.
Speaker 1: My weirdest thing is sometimes people will say because I'm
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot to say, when I'm not
Speaker 1: saying things like I'm not the guy that's gonna go
Speaker 1: somewhere and just be like look at me. I've got
Speaker 1: amazing stories to tell. I need attention. I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: home first of all, and then when I do go,
Speaker 1: I'm a wall flower and I just don't feel comfortable
Speaker 1: in my own skin around people. So I don't know
Speaker 1: what what was my point with this, Mike? What was
Speaker 1: I going? I had good story. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was. Do you remember. I don't even I was
Speaker 1: getting tech. I'm getting blown up for some reason. Um whatever.
Speaker 1: My point is, go America, you rule, man. I feel like,
Speaker 1: as I'm good to say too, I'm getting older. Man.
Speaker 1: I forget, I'll forget trains. I'll walk to the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm like, why am I even here? I do
Speaker 1: the same thing, and I'm like, dude, ct no, because
Speaker 1: I don't have my head hitting in the same way.
Speaker 1: But I can. I'll walk down and I'll be in
Speaker 1: the living room. I don't even walk in my living room, like,
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't watch TV. I'd never go
Speaker 1: my living stand in my bedroom. You got a living room,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, I'm supposed to come here for something.
Speaker 1: I do it quite a bit. Why am I here?
Speaker 1: M Then I go upstairs, lay down, go to bed,
Speaker 1: wake up. Oh that's what it was. And then I
Speaker 1: go back down and get it. Dude, I've done. Oh.
Speaker 1: I know my point was, point, go ahead, I'll go somewhere.
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot, I'm not outgoing, and someone
Speaker 1: to go. Man. Bobby was a total douche. He didn't
Speaker 1: talk to anybody, he's such a dick, And I don't
Speaker 1: like that, And I bet that's what keeps me from
Speaker 1: going out, because it's just I don't want to bother people.
Speaker 1: But people have this perception to me. In the same way,
Speaker 1: I probably unfairly judge people on the first or second
Speaker 1: experience too, So that's why I try not to do that.
Speaker 1: Now when you become Christina Aguilera, and if we've had
Speaker 1: a bunch, then it's a whole different thing. Are you
Speaker 1: Are you saying that you're like shy, a little bit shy.
Speaker 1: I feel like I bother people. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get into people's space. I don't want to bother them.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel like anybody wants to have anything.
Speaker 1: It's a weird thing. I don't feel like anybody really
Speaker 1: cares or once they have their own lives and their
Speaker 1: own conversations, I have nothing to add but doing that.
Speaker 1: And if people are like, oh, that's Bobby from the radio.
Speaker 1: He has a lot to say, he's sometimes, he's funny sometimes,
Speaker 1: but I do none of that out in public. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he just must be a huge douchebag and a life.
Speaker 1: And part of that it's true, but I mean it's
Speaker 1: mostly just because I don't but I try not to
Speaker 1: judge people the same way on that and without dealing
Speaker 1: with Brantley, I totally was like, oh, we'll never get along.
Speaker 1: And I learned from that, and I'm like, I trying
Speaker 1: to judt people off that first hit now. And then
Speaker 1: the thing that I struggle with too, is like, it's
Speaker 1: so easy to judge that it's human nature that you
Speaker 1: know and so hopefully you get the second opportunity to
Speaker 1: get to know that person because and sometimes a third
Speaker 1: or fourth And it's taking me that long with some people,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure with me it's been the same way.
Speaker 1: I'm not listen, I'm no saint, and I when I
Speaker 1: go to work, like it's what they were calling it,
Speaker 1: they call a Bobby Beast mode because I got nothing
Speaker 1: but focused, like we're here to do the show. Let's
Speaker 1: go like I need this club. I gotta go here,
Speaker 1: go here, you here. I don't go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: It's just it is what it is. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: no pleasure to be around when I go to work.
Speaker 1: I take that back. When we're in the middle of segments,
Speaker 1: I'm fine because we gotta be fun, then, would you agree?
Speaker 1: Mike agree? Commercials? I'm talking nobody I got, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at here's what's coming up? What clock do we gotta
Speaker 1: hit here? Ray? I need this audio, Morgan, I need
Speaker 1: You're in that little glass room. I'm just constantly barking
Speaker 1: orders and people and I'm like, hey, I have forty seconds.
Speaker 1: Give me this Randy, this song on Randy. And I
Speaker 1: know they're all like going, God, I'm shut up. But whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, it is, it is what it is. And
Speaker 1: they call you horrible names, that's okay, and they should
Speaker 1: and they for sure should because I am a horrible
Speaker 1: person during the show. I like watching what they call them. Dude,
Speaker 1: that was a terrible call it They had nothing to say.
Speaker 1: Then it goes back somebody answering the phones, and the phone.
Speaker 1: I look at all the phones. I'm like, let somebody
Speaker 1: answering the phones. But you know it never lasts longer
Speaker 1: than ten seconds, Yeah, because it can't. It's the interception rule. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta move on. You gotta move on. I forget.
Speaker 1: And so like today, for example, Morgan and I who
Speaker 1: now runs the show. And it's weird for Morgan because
Speaker 1: she's twenty four. Yeah, it's weird for her because she's
Speaker 1: the youngest on the show, and other than me, she's
Speaker 1: got the highest spot on the show as far as
Speaker 1: making to sit. Amy is the second ranker. Let's not
Speaker 1: get it twisted like Amy is the star. Didn't you
Speaker 1: have lunch box? And then everybody else kind of falls
Speaker 1: in place. But like the hierarchy of the show, the
Speaker 1: quarterback to the running back on, so it's me because
Speaker 1: I'm planning and running, and then there's Amy's a very
Speaker 1: close second, and there's lunch boxes are very close third.
Speaker 1: But Morgan is telling us all what to do, and
Speaker 1: I need someone to do that, and I put her
Speaker 1: in that position like tell me what to do. And
Speaker 1: so today she had an issue with me, what did
Speaker 1: you see it? Were you there for it? Mike? You
Speaker 1: were there? And we had to talk after because she
Speaker 1: got she got emotional at me in front of everyone,
Speaker 1: and she's she's I think Morgan is really strong. She's
Speaker 1: gonna be fantastic. She's already really good. And so it
Speaker 1: was like, let's just go talk about in the office.
Speaker 1: So in the office and be like, hey, listen, no
Speaker 1: emotion with leadership. Your emotion. You bring it in here,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it in here. She got mad at
Speaker 1: me for something I did, and she was right. Mostly
Speaker 1: she was right, and I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: you're right, But you're also judged by how you're seeing.
Speaker 1: Even if you're not perceived the right way, people are
Speaker 1: gonna judge you even if they're but they see it
Speaker 1: is how they feel and they don't know what they're saying.
Speaker 1: People don't know what they're seing. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I've seen Without Dean. I was just like, listen, dude,
Speaker 1: he's so he has nothing to say. You don't want
Speaker 1: to talk to me. I don't like him, you know
Speaker 1: what I think? The shy guy, he's like, he's a
Speaker 1: really shiny guy who I I was like many it's
Speaker 1: actually about the third time. I was like, just a
Speaker 1: nice guy. So Mike, just see more. Goan and I
Speaker 1: get into it at I don't hold beef with my people.
Speaker 1: It's we went into the office and it's not even
Speaker 1: non personal, like these are my people. These are the
Speaker 1: closest and worked together for five six hours a day
Speaker 1: every day at arms distance. You're going to add Amy
Speaker 1: yelled at me. We go into the moms. Sometimes Amy
Speaker 1: just screams at me. We've talked about that before, like
Speaker 1: on the show, she just she gets so upset at
Speaker 1: me because I don't have the mode. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not a human. When it's work time, it's work time,
Speaker 1: all right. I gotta show do, I gotta show do.
Speaker 1: Focus up. Let's go after the show best friends, before
Speaker 1: the show, wonderful friends. But when it's bemo Bobby, like
Speaker 1: I got with me, I have salaries that I have
Speaker 1: to make sure people get paid and eat. So I
Speaker 1: feel like the pressures on me to make sure we
Speaker 1: have a great show because everybody else get the people
Speaker 1: are depending on me. Thank you for this therapy sessions,
Speaker 1: and they're lucky to have a leader I love. But
Speaker 1: these are the people that in my life that they're
Speaker 1: just I would haven't any other way. I got to
Speaker 1: pan pick every single person on my show because we
Speaker 1: had no money. We were not supposed to be a show.
Speaker 1: So launch process. The delivery driver Jason's deli, I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: come work. And we've talked to us on the Bobby
Speaker 1: cast before. It's like he made no money and I'm like,
Speaker 1: just working. I'll promise you I'll take care of if
Speaker 1: you just hang out and work through it, we'll get there.
Speaker 1: We'll get there. It's like you going to Duco. It's
Speaker 1: like you're playing in the UFL. Like put in the
Speaker 1: time and put in the work and just trust the
Speaker 1: good things are gonna have fun because most of the
Speaker 1: time they do. They do if you work hard and
Speaker 1: you work long enough, most of the time they do.
Speaker 1: You want to play the odds, work hard, work long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always tell young kids like hard work will always
Speaker 1: pay off. It may not be what you initially want
Speaker 1: it to be, but dude, doors will open and great
Speaker 1: things will happen and people will trust you. And you
Speaker 1: don't always have to be the best. Just be someone
Speaker 1: that being accountable man. Accountability is so hard to find,
Speaker 1: and knowing that you can count on and depend on
Speaker 1: that person no matter what makes sup for Eddie, I said,
Speaker 1: Eddie comes in life like dude. You have you ever
Speaker 1: been there in a home sending day? No? I haven't.
Speaker 1: Is it awesome? I don't like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: You're publicly shaming him. No, No, I've done it before.
Speaker 1: I know it's it's a public shame thing. No, I wouldn't,
Speaker 1: but I don't do it for the public shaming. But
Speaker 1: our shows, our lives are on the air, so no, no,
Speaker 1: it's life. We live our lives on our lives on
Speaker 1: the air. When Eddie comes in late and I've sent
Speaker 1: lunchbox home, I've sent Amy home. I mean, I've sent
Speaker 1: the all Amy is the all Star, I've sent her home.
Speaker 1: Like Amy, I can't have you the person everyone loves
Speaker 1: and looks at as a leader, and not treat you
Speaker 1: the same as everybody else. So so she walked in
Speaker 1: late and you kicked her. You She called me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, don't even come in because if she
Speaker 1: was like seven minutes late. But here's my thing about time.
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm always on time. Secondly, if you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be there at four thirty, okay, let's say,
Speaker 1: and that's the last minute. And this is how Eddie
Speaker 1: and I philosophy are so different. And this is why
Speaker 1: we get along so great, because Eddie and I were
Speaker 1: together seven days a week for a lot of the
Speaker 1: year and we get along so great because he's he's
Speaker 1: a Eddie just hang out guy, like loves life. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the greatest, like you don't get to
Speaker 1: be a better person than Eddie, Like you don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the best man. He pisses me off sometimes though,
Speaker 1: God because he is so tight be like he loves live.
Speaker 1: Just let it come, let the waves come crashing it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit here and watch him, not me. I
Speaker 1: gotta or and I'm not attacking those suckers. Boo boo.
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, Eddie, you need to be here
Speaker 1: at thirty after because I'm still the boss and it's
Speaker 1: a weird position to be in. I gotta be here
Speaker 1: at thirty after. And to Eddie that means get there
Speaker 1: at that's what it means to him. To Amy, it
Speaker 1: means get there five after and be twenty five minutes early.
Speaker 1: Get there. To Eddie, it means get start fifty nine
Speaker 1: fifty nine. And it made it at me's so weird.
Speaker 1: You're you're the old coach. It's like you're late. If
Speaker 1: you're on time, No, if you're on time, you're on time.
Speaker 1: And I'm good with it. Just you better be freaking
Speaker 1: on time because I'm ready to roll. One minute late
Speaker 1: is late for yeah, and I've sent people home for
Speaker 1: being one minute late. And but again, I expect nothing
Speaker 1: of anyone else that I don't expect for myself times five.
Speaker 1: But and it's it's weird, you've got to I never
Speaker 1: let anybody be a part of the show. It's not
Speaker 1: part of the show. And I remember you're coming to
Speaker 1: me like, hey, I want to learn stuff. I was like,
Speaker 1: it's gonna suck because you have to sit around watch watch.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna watch and it's gonna stuck, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna just sit and watch it. You'll slowly and I'll
Speaker 1: trust you a little bit more. I don't trust anybody ever.
Speaker 1: And so and now what's funny is you're now starting
Speaker 1: to be kind of part of the show, and now
Speaker 1: you gotta go. My thing was like I reached out
Speaker 1: to you, and I always like a little hesitant to
Speaker 1: do so. But I knew nobody in Nashville, and I
Speaker 1: had met you maybe twice or something before, and I
Speaker 1: had seen it was in Haiti with Amy, so I
Speaker 1: kind of felt like a little comfortable to asking. And
Speaker 1: I know Gorman in the building. Right, But I don't
Speaker 1: want to do anything sports related. Right. I'm over it.
Speaker 1: I'm not over my job. I'm just over talking about it, right,
Speaker 1: and of course I have a passion for like country music.
Speaker 1: That's like my happy place, and I love radio, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to learn from the best, right, so I
Speaker 1: put myself out there. I'm like, dude, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: some kind of internship. I was gonna I applied for CMT,
Speaker 1: but that's like super corporate, Like, yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: you're illegal with us. You're illegal, and that's what I
Speaker 1: told you, you're illegal. I can't take you as an intern.
Speaker 1: Just come sitting, no title, and so yeah, and my
Speaker 1: have you ever let anybody ever do this except for
Speaker 1: Ray No, I mean I kind of did it illegally.
Speaker 1: I guess most of my people end up staying. So
Speaker 1: I guess you'll have a job when you want to
Speaker 1: come back around. But you sit in the room and
Speaker 1: you get to watch all the producers and and now
Speaker 1: you're on the year. People like you on the year,
Speaker 1: and you come in and do bits. It's just funny.
Speaker 1: Now that's almost happy to go back and like right
Speaker 1: when you're just getting in the groove of like you're
Speaker 1: not sending in material and I'm using it. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: been first and foremanst. I gotta say thank you for
Speaker 1: just giving me the opportunity, and even like even if
Speaker 1: it was just helping me find something in town, but
Speaker 1: actually you'd be like, yeah, dudes, come in and like
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. And that's what's pretty much what
Speaker 1: you said, Like there's no title, there's no itinerary for
Speaker 1: this thing. Let's just see what happens. And getting up
Speaker 1: early in the morning sucks, but I mean I'm a
Speaker 1: morning guy already, but um yeah, I mean it was
Speaker 1: just interesting sitting there for you know, several weeks and
Speaker 1: just watching Mike and watching you know, and I don't
Speaker 1: The thing is that I'm not hands on with these guys.
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm learning how to do what they do.
Speaker 1: I'm just like looking over the show, like, oh that's
Speaker 1: kind of cool. Oh raise, He's back and forth like
Speaker 1: six times in five minutes. And you know, I Morgen
Speaker 1: and I mean I ask her more questions, you know,
Speaker 1: But it's it, it's I've learned a lot. I write
Speaker 1: stuff down and I listened to you guys, and and
Speaker 1: what kind of bits you come up with and how
Speaker 1: you keep listeners engaged and how you keep it fun
Speaker 1: and relaxed and like, but just dialed in though you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and like, it's been awesome, man,
Speaker 1: it's been it really does. I felt bad for you
Speaker 1: because I knew I was gonna make you set for
Speaker 1: a while because people always say they want to do
Speaker 1: it and they never actually do it. And I told
Speaker 1: you that too. I was like later on, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is kind of a test, just to see if
Speaker 1: you really wanted to be here. And you're always walking
Speaker 1: to come back now, but now people are gonna be
Speaker 1: sad you're leaving because you've kind of become part of
Speaker 1: the show. But it's been fun. It's been fun for me,
Speaker 1: it's been great, and I've the things that I've learned
Speaker 1: about what you guys do in your profession is that
Speaker 1: like I go home, like, dude, I should have like
Speaker 1: said them the different or like you know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you've done that every day. Every segment
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, I should have missed that, or
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said this, or I should have rewarded whatever.
Speaker 1: And that's what I am like, dangn that you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta be on point, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And you gotta keep it simple, and you just gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta be you two and you just gotta go
Speaker 1: with this. Yeah, you really do. There are no scripts.
Speaker 1: Nobody on the show even knows what we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about except for me. I don't pass the sheet that
Speaker 1: goes here is the agenda, because I want everybody to
Speaker 1: be as real as possible and so that people don't
Speaker 1: even know when their segments. If they send anything, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about it in a week or a
Speaker 1: month or tomorrow, right, Mike. Sometimes I'll break this up
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, I told you about that seven
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I'm like, yeah, I've been in my head.
Speaker 1: I've been storing it for the exact right time. Right
Speaker 1: now is the time, and so I'll throw it on them.
Speaker 1: But it's been good. That's been just cool. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you can't got to come to the house and hang out. No,
Speaker 1: it's cool, man. And then, like I said, it's just, uh.
Speaker 1: The thing that I gravitated most, I think initially with
Speaker 1: your show is the fact that you use your platform
Speaker 1: in a positive way. And I told Amy this the
Speaker 1: other day on her podcast that she's doing it's like
Speaker 1: you have to use your platform to to serve and
Speaker 1: to get back. And you and you guys make it fun.
Speaker 1: You you you spread positivity. You know. To me, I'm
Speaker 1: and if I were to die tomorrow and one year,
Speaker 1: nobody would care as far as really, no, we're just
Speaker 1: we we feel so self important because we're us. I'm me,
Speaker 1: and since I'm me, I care about me. And if
Speaker 1: I me disappear other people's they're their own means and
Speaker 1: they have their own means to worry about. And so
Speaker 1: I I die tomorrow in a year, nobody's really gonna care.
Speaker 1: But if you can affect the lives, that affect lives,
Speaker 1: that's where it lasts. It's just and not even my
Speaker 1: legacy because I don't care. You know what, when I'm dead,
Speaker 1: I don't care because I'm not gonna be around to
Speaker 1: be like, I wonder how would be talked about I'm dead.
Speaker 1: I don't care. But if I can do something that
Speaker 1: makes somebody else do something that make somebody else do something,
Speaker 1: then I'm like, that's a win for sure. That I
Speaker 1: mean that the ripple effect is incredible, and you have
Speaker 1: so much The reach that you have is incredible, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's large and it's awesome because not a lot
Speaker 1: of people do that, and so that's what initially I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: these guys are cool, they're keeping it real. They're just
Speaker 1: normal folks, but they're doing like awesome off to help peoples.
Speaker 1: We screwed out, but we try to know. But for
Speaker 1: the most part, you guys are knocking it out of
Speaker 1: the ballpark. You know what I'm saying. And the reason why,
Speaker 1: you know, I like I said the pimp and joy thing,
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I heard about you initially, because
Speaker 1: it's just it's spread like wildfire. We'll run out of
Speaker 1: time here, but cut your music wise, who are your buddies?
Speaker 1: If you were to like text somebody, who do you?
Speaker 1: Who do you text? Because I'm Chase Rice is a
Speaker 1: good buddy of mine and the football thing. He played
Speaker 1: for coach Bugano at North Carolina. That's kind of how
Speaker 1: we connected. Um, we become real good friends. But he
Speaker 1: asked me to come on come on the road with
Speaker 1: him for a couple of days, and I might. I
Speaker 1: might do it the next three days and just kind
Speaker 1: of experienced that whole thing. I really don't want to,
Speaker 1: I really don't want to, but I know, I'd kick
Speaker 1: myself for not doing it. Yeah, with him that and
Speaker 1: w Plus he's ending, He's ending in Indie that Saturday.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, well all right, let's make it happen.
Speaker 1: So I'm leaving tonight at midnight with Chase. But Chase
Speaker 1: and Dustin lynch Um and William Mike and Morgan has
Speaker 1: been a good buddy of mine. Um and a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of guys coming up. It's cool because
Speaker 1: it's a grind, just like sports is for me. And
Speaker 1: that's where I gravitate. I've noticed that artists gravitate to athletes,
Speaker 1: and athletes gravitate the artist. There's a lot of parallels there,
Speaker 1: you know. And it's cool supporting each other man, seeing guys,
Speaker 1: seeing guys play at eight seconds saloons in in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: uh to you know, being featured as the headline or
Speaker 1: at CMA Fest, right, maybe you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's awesome, dude, And so those guys are my boys.
Speaker 1: I'd say Chase is probably my closest buddy, and um,
Speaker 1: you know his videographers from Indie and and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Low Cash, you know, Yeah, awesome guys.
Speaker 1: But pressings from Indie, you know, so we have that
Speaker 1: connection man, and and um yeah, I mean there's a
Speaker 1: lot of I've met so many great guys, and I
Speaker 1: think just we just kind of brow out, you know.
Speaker 1: For the most part. People are really good around here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: jump parties in that one because we're from the same
Speaker 1: place in California. John like John party a lot, man,
Speaker 1: you know, like his album has been hit and he's
Speaker 1: been a grinder years and years of just sitting and fighting.
Speaker 1: And it's not again, It's just about working and let's
Speaker 1: see when it finally works for you. It's not again,
Speaker 1: you're just playing the odds. Let's not see if let's
Speaker 1: see when it works. If it's physically possible, you can
Speaker 1: work to do it. You're not gonna be five ft
Speaker 1: one and have no look a billion duncan basketball. But
Speaker 1: if it's physically possible and you can work to achieve it,
Speaker 1: I believe it can be done. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do with my boys. I'm gonna get a seeing
Speaker 1: coach back in Indie. I'm gonna work on my my
Speaker 1: singing talent. Listen you start singing on the air, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I expect you to be really bad
Speaker 1: and tried to sing it. I was like, it really
Speaker 1: isn't terrible. Not take it? Oh, I goes, But to
Speaker 1: come back, I'll do I'll do a song and that
Speaker 1: will be much better because I'm gonna have a coach
Speaker 1: to prove your point. You're gonna get a singing coach.
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah, but that's physically impossible. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that's opposite what I was saying. I think it's impossible
Speaker 1: for you to become a great singer. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to be great. Yeah, I'm trying to be just above average.
Speaker 1: All right, Matt Overton, good question. Should I go on
Speaker 1: the road, Chase, I'm really honestly, I like, let let
Speaker 1: me say this. I'm gonna says, honesty, you're a single guy.

Speaker 1: All right, As you're a single dude. If you want
Speaker 1: to house some good it's a good experience. You want story, Yes,

Speaker 1: go with. And we was, you know, well of late
Speaker 1: there alright, And I like Chase. I like jays so,
Speaker 1: but chances, you know, Chase wants to get my outland
Speaker 1: of the story. Chase comes down reach his pocket, like

Speaker 1: And she texted me for like three months like hey,
