00:01:28,228 --> 00:01:29,908
Speaker 8: Gosh, good morning, Good morning.

26
00:01:30,028 --> 00:01:33,708
Speaker 7: The Honey Badger's five months into retirement. How's your life

27
00:01:33,748 --> 00:01:35,828
Speaker 7: these days? What do you fill your days with?

28
00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:36,388
Speaker 8: My friends?

29
00:01:37,628 --> 00:01:41,028
Speaker 3: It's father good. I'll keep it real with you guys.

30
00:01:41,068 --> 00:01:44,508
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's an adjustment, you know, going from doing something

31
00:01:45,068 --> 00:01:47,468
Speaker 2: you know, every day every second, you know, just living

32
00:01:47,548 --> 00:01:50,908
Speaker 2: breathing it to to really not having a lot to do.

33
00:01:51,108 --> 00:01:55,188
Speaker 2: And so thank God for my kids. They keep me busy.

34
00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:58,228
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously this game too, you know, I

35
00:01:58,268 --> 00:02:00,748
Speaker 2: think it's it's a beautiful thing that guy's able to

36
00:02:00,748 --> 00:02:03,108
Speaker 2: walk away from the game and still be a part

37
00:02:03,108 --> 00:02:03,628
Speaker 2: of it, whether it.

38
00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:07,828
Speaker 3: Be coaching TV. So that's that's been fun for me.

39
00:02:08,308 --> 00:02:09,948
Speaker 7: I think it's important for you to keep it real

40
00:02:09,988 --> 00:02:12,548
Speaker 7: in that answer, honestly because it helps other guys who

41
00:02:12,548 --> 00:02:15,828
Speaker 7: are just entering retirement space and being like, well, if

42
00:02:15,868 --> 00:02:18,388
Speaker 7: someone after twelve years says it's hard to make the adjustment,

43
00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:21,468
Speaker 7: then that helps them as well. So I think that's important. Secondly, Tyron,

44
00:02:21,828 --> 00:02:23,948
Speaker 7: you know, we were all about Philip Rivers last week.

45
00:02:23,988 --> 00:02:26,308
Speaker 7: It was crazy to hear the news that he worked out,

46
00:02:26,348 --> 00:02:28,348
Speaker 7: that he signs the deal, he gets the start.

47
00:02:28,868 --> 00:02:29,748
Speaker 4: What did you make.

48
00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:32,508
Speaker 7: Of Philip Rivers after five years a forty four year

49
00:02:32,548 --> 00:02:35,068
Speaker 7: old puts those things back on and plays quarterback the

50
00:02:35,068 --> 00:02:37,388
Speaker 7: way he did for the Colts in Seattle last weekend.

51
00:02:38,228 --> 00:02:41,428
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's inspiring, you know, and it says

52
00:02:41,468 --> 00:02:45,268
Speaker 2: a lot about about players, right, just their ability to adapt.

53
00:02:46,308 --> 00:02:47,908
Speaker 2: And you know, I look over the course of my

54
00:02:47,948 --> 00:02:50,868
Speaker 2: football life, and you know, I've come across so many

55
00:02:50,908 --> 00:02:54,188
Speaker 2: great teammates that just so many different, you know, unique

56
00:02:54,228 --> 00:02:56,908
Speaker 2: situations and they find a way to kind of rise

57
00:02:56,948 --> 00:02:59,428
Speaker 2: to it. And so I was definitely one of those

58
00:02:59,428 --> 00:03:00,628
Speaker 2: guys that was rooting.

59
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:02,028
Speaker 3: For Philip, you know last week.

60
00:03:02,108 --> 00:03:04,788
Speaker 2: Obviously I didn't want anybody to fall on him too hard,

61
00:03:08,108 --> 00:03:11,868
Speaker 2: but other than that, you know, it makes me proud man,

62
00:03:11,908 --> 00:03:15,388
Speaker 2: because football players they do have that adaptability and they

63
00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:17,988
Speaker 2: can they can maneuver through a lot of different circumstances.

64
00:03:18,108 --> 00:03:19,028
Speaker 8: Yeah, they can maneuver.

65
00:03:19,028 --> 00:03:21,148
Speaker 9: You're exactly right, bro, not only on the field, but

66
00:03:21,188 --> 00:03:23,268
Speaker 9: off of the field, especially with adversities. And one of

67
00:03:23,268 --> 00:03:26,068
Speaker 9: your former teammates, Patrick Mahomes, are all heartbroken to see.

68
00:03:25,988 --> 00:03:27,348
Speaker 8: Him go down the way he did.

69
00:03:28,228 --> 00:03:30,748
Speaker 9: But number one, have you reached out Tom had any

70
00:03:30,828 --> 00:03:33,788
Speaker 9: kind of conversation with him? And number two, what is

71
00:03:33,828 --> 00:03:36,228
Speaker 9: your thoughts on how the twenty twenty five season ended

72
00:03:36,308 --> 00:03:37,748
Speaker 9: up for the Ken City Chiefs.

73
00:03:38,428 --> 00:03:40,708
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you know, obviously, me and Patrick,

74
00:03:40,828 --> 00:03:43,108
Speaker 2: you know, we've always been close, you know, really since

75
00:03:43,188 --> 00:03:47,108
Speaker 2: my time in Case. You know, I think, you know,

76
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:49,428
Speaker 2: the season didn't go the way that they wanted to go,

77
00:03:49,668 --> 00:03:52,068
Speaker 2: and I think those guys they've been doing so well

78
00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:55,228
Speaker 2: that I mean, it's this seems a bit strange, right,

79
00:03:55,988 --> 00:03:57,868
Speaker 2: but I actually think it's the time for these guys

80
00:03:57,868 --> 00:04:01,308
Speaker 2: to kind of reload and kind of retool, you know.

81
00:04:01,388 --> 00:04:03,148
Speaker 2: I felt like these guys have a lot of young

82
00:04:03,188 --> 00:04:06,308
Speaker 2: pieces that in my opinion, a lot of these guys

83
00:04:07,028 --> 00:04:09,148
Speaker 2: they may be the future, or they may be even

84
00:04:09,268 --> 00:04:11,948
Speaker 2: you know, they may lead to those guys getting.

85
00:04:11,748 --> 00:04:13,428
Speaker 3: More assets right down the line.

86
00:04:13,508 --> 00:04:16,188
Speaker 2: And so I'm just looking forward with to seeing, you know,

87
00:04:16,228 --> 00:04:18,788
Speaker 2: how this team responds, because this is their first bit

88
00:04:19,228 --> 00:04:23,548
Speaker 2: of adversity, you know, outside of losing the Super Bowl, right, so.

89
00:04:23,668 --> 00:04:24,788
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see that.

90
00:04:24,868 --> 00:04:27,788
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see who coach Reid and Spags and

91
00:04:29,148 --> 00:04:31,788
Speaker 2: just that whole organization rally around him and see what

92
00:04:31,868 --> 00:04:33,748
Speaker 2: these guys are able to bring back next season.

93
00:04:34,228 --> 00:04:36,628
Speaker 10: Well, tying the reality of it is, the Chiefs are

94
00:04:36,668 --> 00:04:39,428
Speaker 10: not in the playoffs, and we haven't seen this in years.

95
00:04:39,428 --> 00:04:42,468
Speaker 10: As everybody on TV is talking about, you're a football expert,

96
00:04:42,588 --> 00:04:45,028
Speaker 10: not only as a player, but now as you talk

97
00:04:45,068 --> 00:04:46,708
Speaker 10: about it, you're an expert of the game. Let's talk

98
00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:49,348
Speaker 10: about the AFC. What are you predicting for the AFC.

99
00:04:49,468 --> 00:04:51,308
Speaker 10: Who's the team you're watching? What do you think it's

100
00:04:51,308 --> 00:04:51,908
Speaker 10: going to look like?

101
00:04:52,868 --> 00:04:54,988
Speaker 3: Oh man, he put me on the spot. I'll tell you.

102
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:58,028
Speaker 2: I tell you two teams I'm really excited to see

103
00:04:58,948 --> 00:05:00,308
Speaker 2: continue to play down the stretch.

104
00:05:00,348 --> 00:05:01,468
Speaker 3: I think one of them is Denver.

105
00:05:02,108 --> 00:05:04,548
Speaker 2: I think that team with Sean Payton and just the

106
00:05:05,028 --> 00:05:08,748
Speaker 2: confidence that that that those guys have, and you know,

107
00:05:08,788 --> 00:05:11,028
Speaker 2: the confidence that those guys are playing with. I think

108
00:05:11,108 --> 00:05:15,188
Speaker 2: both Nicks, you know, his ability to just create nothing

109
00:05:15,188 --> 00:05:18,388
Speaker 2: out of something. I think that adds value, you know,

110
00:05:18,468 --> 00:05:20,868
Speaker 2: down the stretch. And then obviously they're playing great defense,

111
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:23,828
Speaker 2: right And then another team for me is one of

112
00:05:23,868 --> 00:05:24,708
Speaker 2: my one of.

113
00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:26,908
Speaker 3: My old teams. I took a pitch stop there for

114
00:05:26,948 --> 00:05:27,868
Speaker 3: like six months.

115
00:05:27,948 --> 00:05:31,788
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, in between Arizona and Kansas City, and uh,

116
00:05:31,868 --> 00:05:34,948
Speaker 2: that'll probably be the Texans. I think. I think the

117
00:05:34,988 --> 00:05:38,468
Speaker 2: way that they play defense is scary. You know, you know,

118
00:05:38,628 --> 00:05:40,868
Speaker 2: just just hitting people like that and their ability to

119
00:05:40,868 --> 00:05:43,508
Speaker 2: affect affect the game up front and in the back end.

120
00:05:43,828 --> 00:05:47,428
Speaker 3: I think their coverage and rush. Uh, you know that ability.

121
00:05:47,108 --> 00:05:51,308
Speaker 2: There, I mean that that that adds, that adds tremendous value,

122
00:05:51,508 --> 00:05:53,508
Speaker 2: you know, down the stretch. I don't think anybody want

123
00:05:53,508 --> 00:05:55,428
Speaker 2: to play, you know, either one of those teams.

124
00:05:55,548 --> 00:05:57,668
Speaker 7: That's a good point that Texans have taken advantage of

125
00:05:57,748 --> 00:06:00,828
Speaker 7: the a f C South that was right for the taking. Tyron,

126
00:06:00,828 --> 00:06:02,468
Speaker 7: I want to ask you about a project that you've

127
00:06:02,468 --> 00:06:04,348
Speaker 7: been working on recently. And before I ask you, the

128
00:06:04,508 --> 00:06:08,468
Speaker 7: content on your new show. Uh, your podcast is called

129
00:06:08,548 --> 00:06:12,188
Speaker 7: in the Bayou at Tyron Matthew. Uh, I'm from Tyrann.

130
00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:14,948
Speaker 7: This is a question just to you. I'm from Minnesota,

131
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,748
Speaker 7: but I covered SEC football for four years and I

132
00:06:17,828 --> 00:06:22,588
Speaker 7: learned a lot about SEC culture football. Baton Rouge, little Village,

133
00:06:22,668 --> 00:06:25,708
Speaker 7: Little Italy, the Italian restaurant and Baton Rouge like one

134
00:06:25,748 --> 00:06:28,388
Speaker 7: of the best, one of my favorites. Isn't it down

135
00:06:28,428 --> 00:06:28,868
Speaker 7: the Bayou?

136
00:06:29,068 --> 00:06:29,148
Speaker 3: Like?

137
00:06:29,188 --> 00:06:31,668
Speaker 7: Didn't I learn nothing else but that it's called down

138
00:06:31,668 --> 00:06:34,388
Speaker 7: the Bayou. Why is it in the Bayou with Tyron Mathew?

139
00:06:35,148 --> 00:06:36,988
Speaker 2: Well, because because you know I guess, you know, if

140
00:06:36,988 --> 00:06:40,188
Speaker 2: you kind of see where where my house at in particular,

141
00:06:40,348 --> 00:06:42,708
Speaker 2: I mean we surrounded, you know by the water and

142
00:06:43,108 --> 00:06:43,708
Speaker 2: just like right now.

143
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:44,188
Speaker 3: Middle of it.

144
00:06:44,228 --> 00:06:47,188
Speaker 2: But you know, it's really it's really just me and

145
00:06:47,228 --> 00:06:49,068
Speaker 2: my my good friends from highest to one of my

146
00:06:49,148 --> 00:06:52,308
Speaker 2: best friends for you know, fifteen years, and you know,

147
00:06:52,348 --> 00:06:54,868
Speaker 2: we're just talking about everything that Deana. You know, we're

148
00:06:54,868 --> 00:06:58,548
Speaker 2: talking about sports, we're talking about culture, and we're just

149
00:06:58,588 --> 00:07:01,908
Speaker 2: we're actually really trying to shine a positive light, you know,

150
00:07:02,228 --> 00:07:06,188
Speaker 2: on Louisiana. And you know, so outside of like the

151
00:07:06,228 --> 00:07:09,708
Speaker 2: food and you know, all the festivals in the Bourbon Street,

152
00:07:10,468 --> 00:07:12,148
Speaker 2: there's a lot of great people here. It's a lot

153
00:07:12,188 --> 00:07:15,348
Speaker 2: of great cultures tradition here, and we just want to

154
00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:17,348
Speaker 2: be one of the one of the few people that's

155
00:07:17,428 --> 00:07:19,348
Speaker 2: highlighting that and kind of pushing that forward.

156
00:07:19,628 --> 00:07:23,148
Speaker 7: Well, it's great content, and I think it's important those

157
00:07:23,188 --> 00:07:25,308
Speaker 7: great shows are really well done when it is two

158
00:07:25,388 --> 00:07:27,828
Speaker 7: friends just sitting there talking about some of their favorite things.

159
00:07:27,988 --> 00:07:30,988
Speaker 7: But on your show in the Bayou, Tyer Matthew, you're

160
00:07:31,028 --> 00:07:33,348
Speaker 7: trying to you're trying to stand up for Tyler Shuck.

161
00:07:33,508 --> 00:07:35,588
Speaker 7: Can you make your case here on GMFB as to

162
00:07:35,628 --> 00:07:37,228
Speaker 7: why you people need to have the back of the

163
00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:38,068
Speaker 7: rookie quarterback.

164
00:07:38,908 --> 00:07:40,988
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I just think it's so critical.

165
00:07:41,108 --> 00:07:43,428
Speaker 2: You know, I think a lot of guys they show

166
00:07:43,508 --> 00:07:44,988
Speaker 2: up right, and they want to be a part of

167
00:07:44,988 --> 00:07:47,268
Speaker 2: the community. I think these guys want to be embraced

168
00:07:47,268 --> 00:07:51,148
Speaker 2: by the community. And you know, I guess it's it's

169
00:07:51,228 --> 00:07:53,668
Speaker 2: up to us as fans right to accept these guys

170
00:07:53,668 --> 00:07:56,988
Speaker 2: into root form and support them. And I think Tyler

171
00:07:57,108 --> 00:07:59,748
Speaker 2: is you know, I think he's in a good situation. Obviously,

172
00:07:59,788 --> 00:08:03,228
Speaker 2: he's part of a great organization. And you know, I

173
00:08:03,228 --> 00:08:05,988
Speaker 2: think his ability to to make plays and we was

174
00:08:06,028 --> 00:08:07,908
Speaker 2: talking about that with both Nicks, right, just kind of

175
00:08:07,908 --> 00:08:11,348
Speaker 2: making that out of something, and you know, he has that, right,

176
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,268
Speaker 2: and he's been he's been kind of turning up each

177
00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:16,508
Speaker 2: and every week. You know, you can kind of see

178
00:08:16,508 --> 00:08:18,428
Speaker 2: the Saints putting more and more on his plate as

179
00:08:18,468 --> 00:08:21,268
Speaker 2: the season goes on, and so I'm excited to really see,

180
00:08:21,388 --> 00:08:23,908
Speaker 2: you know, how he finished this season out, but mostly

181
00:08:24,148 --> 00:08:27,788
Speaker 2: how they begin to kind of build around him going forward.

182
00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:30,628
Speaker 3: I really do think, you know, I don't put them

183
00:08:30,668 --> 00:08:32,028
Speaker 3: on level with Drew Brees.

184
00:08:31,708 --> 00:08:34,948
Speaker 2: But I do think they could provide some type of spark,

185
00:08:35,508 --> 00:08:36,548
Speaker 2: you know for New Orleans.

186
00:08:36,628 --> 00:08:40,068
Speaker 9: All Right, Bro, you said takes something and put it,

187
00:08:40,308 --> 00:08:42,268
Speaker 9: take nothing to make something out of it. That kind

188
00:08:42,268 --> 00:08:44,868
Speaker 9: of embodies your entire career. I remember just watching at

189
00:08:44,988 --> 00:08:47,548
Speaker 9: LSU and you and I share being finalists for the

190
00:08:47,588 --> 00:08:48,828
Speaker 9: Heisman Trophy Award.

191
00:08:49,708 --> 00:08:50,148
Speaker 8: This year.

192
00:08:50,228 --> 00:08:52,828
Speaker 9: There was an individualt of Texas Tech, a linebacker that

193
00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:55,628
Speaker 9: I thought was worthy of at least being a finalist,

194
00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:57,468
Speaker 9: but he wasn't. He had seven force for almost and

195
00:08:57,468 --> 00:09:00,148
Speaker 9: four interceptions. He took the ball away for you. I

196
00:09:00,188 --> 00:09:02,108
Speaker 9: got to ask you on this show, Bro, what is

197
00:09:02,148 --> 00:09:04,788
Speaker 9: it going to take in your mind, in your opinion,

198
00:09:05,428 --> 00:09:08,788
Speaker 9: a defender winning the Heisman.

199
00:09:08,388 --> 00:09:08,868
Speaker 3: Trophy a work?

200
00:09:08,868 --> 00:09:10,468
Speaker 8: Because a lot of people said that I should have wanted.

201
00:09:10,468 --> 00:09:11,988
Speaker 9: But I always tell people, and I never said this

202
00:09:12,068 --> 00:09:15,548
Speaker 9: all on live television. I said, well, if you think

203
00:09:15,588 --> 00:09:18,308
Speaker 9: I should have wanted Tyrant should have want it because.

204
00:09:18,068 --> 00:09:20,628
Speaker 8: That boy was just cold at all aspects of the

205
00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:21,308
Speaker 8: game of football.

206
00:09:21,308 --> 00:09:23,068
Speaker 9: But in your mind, what is it going to take, Bro,

207
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:25,148
Speaker 9: for a defender to win that award?

208
00:09:25,908 --> 00:09:26,148
Speaker 3: Oh?

209
00:09:26,188 --> 00:09:30,028
Speaker 2: Man, I guess you're obviously you know, a down offensive year,

210
00:09:30,468 --> 00:09:33,108
Speaker 2: you know, because this, I mean, it's such an offensive sport, right,

211
00:09:33,188 --> 00:09:36,148
Speaker 2: Like people want to see offensive guys. Uh you know, uh,

212
00:09:36,308 --> 00:09:39,188
Speaker 2: they want to see these guys score touchdowns. And you know,

213
00:09:39,228 --> 00:09:42,028
Speaker 2: but from a defensive perspective, you know, if you go back,

214
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:45,668
Speaker 2: like guys like Charles Woodson, right, those guys were actually

215
00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:48,228
Speaker 2: kind of you know, making plays on offense as well.

216
00:09:48,348 --> 00:09:52,988
Speaker 2: So I think you know, who's ever in that position.

217
00:09:53,388 --> 00:09:55,388
Speaker 2: I think the head coach of that team needs to

218
00:09:55,508 --> 00:09:57,348
Speaker 2: kind of take into consideration, like, hey, this dude is

219
00:09:57,388 --> 00:09:59,788
Speaker 2: having a hot hand on defense, maybe we need to

220
00:09:59,788 --> 00:10:02,268
Speaker 2: put him in some goal line packages and and get

221
00:10:02,348 --> 00:10:04,508
Speaker 2: him maybe you know, four or five easy touchdow I

222
00:10:04,508 --> 00:10:05,708
Speaker 2: was on the one yard line, you know.

223
00:10:05,828 --> 00:10:08,828
Speaker 3: So, but it is it's tough, man, It's tough.

224
00:10:08,868 --> 00:10:11,468
Speaker 2: I feel like the finders they just have to you know,

225
00:10:11,508 --> 00:10:14,348
Speaker 2: you almost have to play you know perfect, you know,

226
00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:17,148
Speaker 2: to even be to even be mentioned in the Heisman.

227
00:10:18,348 --> 00:10:20,268
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I think I think it comes down

228
00:10:20,348 --> 00:10:22,228
Speaker 2: to coaches and and uh, you know, just kind of

229
00:10:22,228 --> 00:10:23,428
Speaker 2: putting these guys on the office.

230
00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:25,748
Speaker 3: And you know, still are some points.

231
00:10:26,148 --> 00:10:29,668
Speaker 10: We love a good necessary humble brag. This is for you,

232
00:10:29,788 --> 00:10:32,028
Speaker 10: Mantai and Tyr, and you're like, you have to play

233
00:10:32,028 --> 00:10:33,668
Speaker 10: perfect to even be considered.

234
00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:35,828
Speaker 3: I mean, it's my worst quality. I'm perfectionate.

235
00:10:37,988 --> 00:10:40,588
Speaker 10: Real quick, tell us about everything you're doing in the community.

236
00:10:40,668 --> 00:10:43,988
Speaker 10: You just participated in an event, uh with Payaway. Just

237
00:10:43,988 --> 00:10:45,108
Speaker 10: tell us a little bit about that.

238
00:10:45,948 --> 00:10:46,228
Speaker 3: Yeah.

239
00:10:46,268 --> 00:10:48,628
Speaker 2: So, I mean every year we uh you know, we

240
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,188
Speaker 2: uh we go in the community for Christmas and we

241
00:10:51,428 --> 00:10:54,308
Speaker 2: have a Christmas dinner and obviously, you know, we partner

242
00:10:54,388 --> 00:10:58,148
Speaker 2: with Son of a Saint who provided the kids and

243
00:10:58,188 --> 00:10:59,148
Speaker 2: the families for us.

244
00:10:59,148 --> 00:11:01,748
Speaker 3: And then obviously Pale Way, we partner with these guys.

245
00:11:01,788 --> 00:11:03,868
Speaker 2: Actually our first year of partnering with them, but they

246
00:11:03,948 --> 00:11:07,068
Speaker 2: actually helped us get the gifts, and so it was

247
00:11:07,108 --> 00:11:10,068
Speaker 2: a big wish list of gifts, and obviously you gave them,

248
00:11:10,348 --> 00:11:12,548
Speaker 2: you know, some money for the holidays, uh, you know,

249
00:11:12,628 --> 00:11:15,148
Speaker 2: food and all that type of stuff. And you really

250
00:11:15,188 --> 00:11:17,028
Speaker 2: just want to set the table for these families, man,

251
00:11:17,028 --> 00:11:19,868
Speaker 2: because when I think about holiday season, I always think

252
00:11:19,868 --> 00:11:23,628
Speaker 2: about my grandmother and always think about family. I think

253
00:11:23,668 --> 00:11:27,148
Speaker 2: about good music, I think about you know, just good times,

254
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:30,108
Speaker 2: and you want this for these people and so hopefully

255
00:11:30,108 --> 00:11:31,748
Speaker 2: we were able to kind of set that stage for

256
00:11:31,828 --> 00:11:35,028
Speaker 2: them to really have a blessed holiday season.

257
00:11:35,668 --> 00:11:38,908
Speaker 3: Because that's what it's really all about, Tyrone.

258
00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:41,148
Speaker 7: It's so amazing listening to you. Well, let's just talk

259
00:11:41,148 --> 00:11:44,348
Speaker 7: about your upbringing and where you grew up in Louisiana whatnot.

260
00:11:44,388 --> 00:11:46,548
Speaker 7: That that piece of artwork over your shoulder is stunning.

261
00:11:46,708 --> 00:11:48,788
Speaker 7: Just who is that and is it? I have to

262
00:11:48,828 --> 00:11:50,748
Speaker 7: assume as by like a local artist or something, and

263
00:11:50,868 --> 00:11:51,828
Speaker 7: so it's so eye catching.

264
00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:54,588
Speaker 3: Yeah, well so actually this is my daughter.

265
00:11:56,268 --> 00:11:58,708
Speaker 2: A guy actually I don't I don't even know this kid, right,

266
00:11:58,828 --> 00:12:01,068
Speaker 2: like he just this is like this something special. But

267
00:12:01,548 --> 00:12:04,148
Speaker 2: he like made this for me. I want to say

268
00:12:04,148 --> 00:12:07,148
Speaker 2: maybe two years ago. It was probably my second season

269
00:12:07,188 --> 00:12:10,628
Speaker 2: in the UH in New Orleans and yeah, he just

270
00:12:10,748 --> 00:12:12,908
Speaker 2: like he's like had this picture for me, and I

271
00:12:12,948 --> 00:12:14,828
Speaker 2: was like, you know that that's pretty that's pretty neat.

272
00:12:16,228 --> 00:12:17,908
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I found it. I found it.

273
00:12:17,988 --> 00:12:20,228
Speaker 3: I found a good stop for UH.

274
00:12:20,748 --> 00:12:22,828
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's my kids right there were missing one

275
00:12:22,948 --> 00:12:24,388
Speaker 2: actually she wasn't born yet.

276
00:12:24,428 --> 00:12:26,868
Speaker 3: She's five months old. Congratulations.

277
00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:30,028
Speaker 2: So so yeah, we gotta add when we got a

278
00:12:30,028 --> 00:12:31,908
Speaker 2: photoshop for.

279
00:12:32,988 --> 00:12:35,588
Speaker 7: That's what the holidays are for the updated family photo

280
00:12:35,708 --> 00:12:39,388
Speaker 7: Tyron Matthew in the Bayou with Tyron Matthew. Everything that

281
00:12:39,428 --> 00:12:42,508
Speaker 7: you're doing for your native state, we love that. For Louisiana.

282
00:12:42,588 --> 00:12:44,188
Speaker 7: We always love when you come on GMF man. You

283
00:12:44,468 --> 00:12:45,268
Speaker 7: really bring a lot.

284
00:12:45,108 --> 00:12:45,668
Speaker 8: To our table.

285
00:12:46,428 --> 00:12:47,388
Speaker 3: Thank you, I appreciate it.

286
00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:50,828
Speaker 7: God Holidays. Happy Holidays, Tyron, Happy holidays.

287
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,668
Speaker 8: Good mon football.

288
00:13:08,748 --> 00:13:11,308
Speaker 7: Up until last weekend, there was a flicker of hope

289
00:13:11,348 --> 00:13:14,028
Speaker 7: for the Miami Dolphin season. They played well ever since

290
00:13:14,028 --> 00:13:16,268
Speaker 7: they went to Madrid, but they lost to the Steelers

291
00:13:16,268 --> 00:13:19,708
Speaker 7: on Monday night and that eliminated Miami officially from the

292
00:13:19,748 --> 00:13:23,148
Speaker 7: playoff picture. The offense looked reverted back to how they

293
00:13:23,148 --> 00:13:24,828
Speaker 7: were at the start of the season. Head coach Mike

294
00:13:24,908 --> 00:13:28,268
Speaker 7: McDaniel now who's asked to consider making a change at

295
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,828
Speaker 7: the quarterback position for the rest of the season, and

296
00:13:30,908 --> 00:13:32,028
Speaker 7: here's what he had to say.

297
00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:38,588
Speaker 11: The quarterback play last night was not good enough. And

298
00:13:38,668 --> 00:13:41,468
Speaker 11: so for me, everything's on the table. There's still a

299
00:13:41,548 --> 00:13:44,548
Speaker 11: lot left in the day. Like I said before, fourteen

300
00:13:44,588 --> 00:13:46,988
Speaker 11: hours removed from the game. So you know, I don't

301
00:13:46,988 --> 00:13:53,388
Speaker 11: trivialize any decision I make, particularly you know, one where

302
00:13:53,588 --> 00:13:57,108
Speaker 11: someone touches the ball every play. So there's multiple things

303
00:13:57,428 --> 00:14:01,708
Speaker 11: that have to be thought through, but ultimately we need

304
00:14:01,708 --> 00:14:02,868
Speaker 11: to have better play at that position.

305
00:14:03,988 --> 00:14:07,228
Speaker 7: Yea reality because Tuatungue of Iiloa leads the NFL right

306
00:14:07,268 --> 00:14:10,348
Speaker 7: now in interceptions this season with fifteen. He's backed up

307
00:14:10,348 --> 00:14:12,788
Speaker 7: on the depth chart for the Dolphins by Zach Wilson

308
00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:16,508
Speaker 7: and Rookie Quinn. Yours, Mike Garafalo, Can you extrapolate at

309
00:14:16,548 --> 00:14:18,228
Speaker 7: all in this situation going on in Miami?

310
00:14:18,948 --> 00:14:21,108
Speaker 5: How much extrapolating do you need? Because I think the

311
00:14:21,188 --> 00:14:23,348
Speaker 5: quote said a lot right there. I mean, this is

312
00:14:23,428 --> 00:14:26,388
Speaker 5: on the table. Everything's on the table. That's not a

313
00:14:26,428 --> 00:14:29,868
Speaker 5: great sign. Now it's a complicated issue here for.

314
00:14:29,868 --> 00:14:31,548
Speaker 4: The Dolphins for multiple reasons.

315
00:14:31,628 --> 00:14:34,428
Speaker 5: Let's start with the elephant in the room, the fifty

316
00:14:34,428 --> 00:14:36,428
Speaker 5: four million dollars that two a tongue of Iiloa has

317
00:14:36,428 --> 00:14:40,068
Speaker 5: fully guaranteed next year. So to be able or to

318
00:14:40,228 --> 00:14:43,588
Speaker 5: potentially make a change, right now, what are you saying

319
00:14:43,668 --> 00:14:46,148
Speaker 5: about next year? And I know that there's been some talk, well,

320
00:14:46,188 --> 00:14:48,308
Speaker 5: if they do this, maybe they're taking him off the

321
00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:50,628
Speaker 5: field so that he doesn't get hurt and potentially trigger

322
00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:53,628
Speaker 5: more and maybe affect his trade trade value.

323
00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:56,028
Speaker 4: Right Like, if you're potentially benching a.

324
00:14:55,988 --> 00:14:58,148
Speaker 5: Guy and you've got that fifty four million on top

325
00:14:58,188 --> 00:14:59,708
Speaker 5: of it that a team would have to take on

326
00:14:59,908 --> 00:15:02,148
Speaker 5: the market for what is the market for that, like,

327
00:15:02,348 --> 00:15:03,948
Speaker 5: I mean, you could potentially eat some of that.

328
00:15:03,988 --> 00:15:05,588
Speaker 4: I mean, we're that's the next step.

329
00:15:05,868 --> 00:15:09,708
Speaker 5: But the question is who's making that decision, because we're

330
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,668
Speaker 5: looking at the potential for at coaching change here.

331
00:15:11,708 --> 00:15:11,828
Speaker 11: Now.

332
00:15:11,948 --> 00:15:14,228
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel has gotten this team to respond.

333
00:15:13,908 --> 00:15:15,748
Speaker 5: And a lot of people think that there won't be

334
00:15:15,788 --> 00:15:17,188
Speaker 5: a change in the head coaching position.

335
00:15:17,348 --> 00:15:19,468
Speaker 4: We've got an interim GM right now in.

336
00:15:19,388 --> 00:15:21,388
Speaker 5: Miami in Champ Kelly, and there's going to be a

337
00:15:21,428 --> 00:15:25,628
Speaker 5: full search there for the general manager potentially that situation

338
00:15:25,708 --> 00:15:26,108
Speaker 5: as well.

339
00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:29,308
Speaker 4: Now, the other part of this, and you mentioned.

340
00:15:28,988 --> 00:15:31,508
Speaker 5: That the depth chart, Jamie, You've got Zach Wilson there,

341
00:15:31,828 --> 00:15:34,548
Speaker 5: but you've also got Quinn Yours. You're a rookie seventh

342
00:15:34,588 --> 00:15:37,908
Speaker 5: rounder who during the preseason in training camp, we saw

343
00:15:37,948 --> 00:15:40,708
Speaker 5: some spurts from him, and there's some potential for a

344
00:15:40,828 --> 00:15:42,508
Speaker 5: guy that a lot of people considered it at one

345
00:15:42,548 --> 00:15:45,228
Speaker 5: point much higher than a seventh round pick. So is

346
00:15:45,268 --> 00:15:47,468
Speaker 5: this a chance for you to get him in there

347
00:15:47,708 --> 00:15:50,268
Speaker 5: and see him and see what you've got in him

348
00:15:50,348 --> 00:15:52,148
Speaker 5: as a potential quarterback of the future.

349
00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:53,548
Speaker 4: There's a lot going on here.

350
00:15:53,788 --> 00:15:57,188
Speaker 5: McDaniel intimated that we will find out more today when

351
00:15:57,228 --> 00:15:58,868
Speaker 5: the team returns to practice. They're on a little bit

352
00:15:58,868 --> 00:16:00,948
Speaker 5: of a later schedule today because of the Monday night

353
00:16:00,948 --> 00:16:03,548
Speaker 5: game and traveling back. But I think today could be

354
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:06,388
Speaker 5: a pivotal day for the Miami Dolphins in a lot

355
00:16:06,388 --> 00:16:08,588
Speaker 5: of ways, because when you say everything's on the table

356
00:16:08,668 --> 00:16:10,388
Speaker 5: with Tua Tuga by low, we did not play well

357
00:16:10,428 --> 00:16:13,468
Speaker 5: the other day, Mantai and opens the door for a

358
00:16:13,508 --> 00:16:14,308
Speaker 5: lot of things.

359
00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:17,788
Speaker 9: Buddy, Yeah, And you can't fault the Dolphins for trying

360
00:16:17,788 --> 00:16:20,188
Speaker 9: to do what's best for their franchise and listen to it.

361
00:16:20,348 --> 00:16:23,788
Speaker 9: Understands that from a business standpoint, he said after the

362
00:16:23,788 --> 00:16:26,268
Speaker 9: game that he felt he left he let his teammates down.

363
00:16:27,068 --> 00:16:29,068
Speaker 9: The NFL is all about what have you done for

364
00:16:29,108 --> 00:16:32,148
Speaker 9: me lately? And I think Tool would be the first

365
00:16:32,188 --> 00:16:35,228
Speaker 9: to admit that what he's done for the Miami Dolphins

366
00:16:35,268 --> 00:16:36,628
Speaker 9: lately hasn't been good enough.

367
00:16:36,708 --> 00:16:38,628
Speaker 8: And listen, this is going.

368
00:16:38,628 --> 00:16:41,108
Speaker 9: To be the first time that a franchise benched a

369
00:16:41,148 --> 00:16:45,588
Speaker 9: franchise quarterback in an attempt to put their team in

370
00:16:45,628 --> 00:16:48,948
Speaker 9: the best position to win. And I think the equation

371
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:50,988
Speaker 9: and the question that they have to ask themselves is

372
00:16:51,268 --> 00:16:54,548
Speaker 9: does number one give you a better opportunity today? And

373
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:57,468
Speaker 9: at the end of the twenty twenty five season to

374
00:16:57,508 --> 00:16:59,348
Speaker 9: win football games or does somebody else on.

375
00:16:59,348 --> 00:17:00,308
Speaker 8: The depth chart do so.

376
00:17:00,668 --> 00:17:02,868
Speaker 9: If they feel like somebody else does, they will play them.

377
00:17:02,948 --> 00:17:04,748
Speaker 9: And I don't think that tool or my self for

378
00:17:04,788 --> 00:17:06,788
Speaker 9: anybody who is a fan of the game of football

379
00:17:06,868 --> 00:17:07,988
Speaker 9: or the Miami Dolphins.

380
00:17:07,668 --> 00:17:10,388
Speaker 8: Will fault him for that. It's part of the process

381
00:17:10,428 --> 00:17:11,468
Speaker 8: as part of the business.

382
00:17:11,628 --> 00:17:13,228
Speaker 9: At the end of the day, it is a game

383
00:17:13,268 --> 00:17:15,028
Speaker 9: that is run by a business, and if you don't

384
00:17:15,028 --> 00:17:17,868
Speaker 9: produce at the level that we feel you're supposed that

385
00:17:17,988 --> 00:17:20,108
Speaker 9: your team feels they're supposed to, there are going to

386
00:17:20,148 --> 00:17:22,348
Speaker 9: be changes that have been made. And it's going to

387
00:17:22,388 --> 00:17:24,788
Speaker 9: happen for everybody in the NFL, regardless if you're a

388
00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:27,308
Speaker 9: franchise quarterback or somebody that's on a parctice squad. You've

389
00:17:27,348 --> 00:17:30,108
Speaker 9: got to be able to put forth some some value.

390
00:17:30,548 --> 00:17:33,188
Speaker 6: Yeah, Listen, there's a two A hive out there, and

391
00:17:33,228 --> 00:17:35,508
Speaker 6: I respect it, and I think even the two of

392
00:17:35,548 --> 00:17:37,668
Speaker 6: hive is pretty quiet right now because there are people

393
00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:39,668
Speaker 6: who can get into the numbers and analytics that can

394
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:40,948
Speaker 6: point out to his assets.

395
00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:42,188
Speaker 8: You can get into the tape.

396
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:44,668
Speaker 6: There's all sorts of ways to justify him and to

397
00:17:44,708 --> 00:17:47,828
Speaker 6: glorify him. The problem is that it just doesn't have

398
00:17:47,908 --> 00:17:52,468
Speaker 6: it from the hip, unsophisticated analysis. He doesn't seem like

399
00:17:52,508 --> 00:17:54,868
Speaker 6: a few years now, like the guy who's like, that's

400
00:17:54,908 --> 00:17:56,428
Speaker 6: my guy, who's gonna win playoff games.

401
00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:57,148
Speaker 8: That's my guy.

402
00:17:57,228 --> 00:17:58,588
Speaker 4: And that is the most important test.

403
00:17:58,788 --> 00:18:00,828
Speaker 6: Whether you're a coach, whether it's a fan of the couch,

404
00:18:01,148 --> 00:18:03,108
Speaker 6: you can see the guys are gonna win playoff games.

405
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:05,708
Speaker 6: Drake May is gonna win some playoff games. We know

406
00:18:05,788 --> 00:18:08,628
Speaker 6: that already. It's been very rare at a time into

407
00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:11,068
Speaker 6: his career, and there have been times, fleeting times when

408
00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:12,868
Speaker 6: you're like, oh, hell yeah, well I think we can

409
00:18:12,908 --> 00:18:15,508
Speaker 6: win playoff games with Tua in January.

410
00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:15,948
Speaker 2: Yeah.

411
00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:18,388
Speaker 6: The contract situation is an absolute mess. And this is

412
00:18:18,428 --> 00:18:21,508
Speaker 6: yet another byproduct of the absence of a middle class

413
00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:23,428
Speaker 6: and quarterbacks, where if you're a certain age and you

414
00:18:23,508 --> 00:18:25,548
Speaker 6: play at a certain level, you have to get a massive,

415
00:18:25,668 --> 00:18:28,228
Speaker 6: massive amount of money, even if you're not worth that

416
00:18:28,268 --> 00:18:31,548
Speaker 6: amount of money, like Tua is not, it's still sitting there. Lastly,

417
00:18:32,108 --> 00:18:34,708
Speaker 6: all I want for Christmas is a Zach Wilson comeback

418
00:18:34,748 --> 00:18:38,548
Speaker 6: story in a year when we got Daniel Jones, Sam

419
00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:43,348
Speaker 6: Darnold again, Mac Jones, I want that guy. Why can't

420
00:18:43,388 --> 00:18:46,348
Speaker 6: he have his turn? This guy who is eviscerated worry

421
00:18:46,428 --> 00:18:47,068
Speaker 6: number zero?

422
00:18:47,308 --> 00:18:48,148
Speaker 3: Oh my god?

423
00:18:48,468 --> 00:18:50,228
Speaker 6: Is he number zero on the Dolphins?

424
00:18:50,628 --> 00:18:51,228
Speaker 3: Is that true?

425
00:18:51,268 --> 00:18:51,468
Speaker 4: Mike?

426
00:18:52,668 --> 00:18:54,708
Speaker 6: The picture seems to say that he is the number

427
00:18:54,788 --> 00:18:56,788
Speaker 6: that he's wearing. I don't even know this. This would

428
00:18:56,788 --> 00:18:58,908
Speaker 6: be amazing, and I hope it's something about like the

429
00:18:59,028 --> 00:19:01,308
Speaker 6: number of people who believed in on Macter the Jets

430
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:04,148
Speaker 6: got rid of him, or a special thing like that. Zach,

431
00:19:04,548 --> 00:19:07,708
Speaker 6: you little dimple faced, a wrong armed demon. I want

432
00:19:07,748 --> 00:19:10,108
Speaker 6: you out there, baby, you deserve it. If all those

433
00:19:10,148 --> 00:19:12,588
Speaker 6: other guys can have their second shot, give me Zach

434
00:19:12,668 --> 00:19:14,868
Speaker 6: Wilson playing out a string in the last couple of

435
00:19:14,908 --> 00:19:16,668
Speaker 6: games for a bad Dolphins team and just.

436
00:19:16,748 --> 00:19:17,588
Speaker 8: Lighting it the hell up.

437
00:19:17,628 --> 00:19:18,348
Speaker 6: What numbers he might?

438
00:19:18,628 --> 00:19:18,908
Speaker 3: Zero?

439
00:19:19,108 --> 00:19:19,428
Speaker 4: Zero?

440
00:19:20,388 --> 00:19:23,108
Speaker 6: And that's exactly the number of options you have outside

441
00:19:23,148 --> 00:19:23,788
Speaker 6: of Zach Wilson.

442
00:19:23,828 --> 00:19:25,948
Speaker 4: If you ask me number zero.

443
00:19:26,228 --> 00:19:30,348
Speaker 6: Z dub, how to BYU light it up? I want

444
00:19:30,348 --> 00:19:33,428
Speaker 6: the jersey already, put it under the tree, I asked

445
00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:36,108
Speaker 6: my wife. I want some vinyl records and some meat

446
00:19:36,148 --> 00:19:40,868
Speaker 6: smoking stuff. Nay, I want to teal zero Zach Wilson

447
00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:42,828
Speaker 6: jersey that I will wear with fist in the air

448
00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:44,428
Speaker 6: rooting for him in the final a.

449
00:19:44,548 --> 00:19:47,268
Speaker 5: To his contract and also Zach Wilson's contract. They got

450
00:19:47,268 --> 00:19:49,708
Speaker 5: like six million, two of the best contracts for the

451
00:19:49,748 --> 00:20:21,308
Speaker 5: players in the history of the ENDM.

452
00:20:08,588 --> 00:20:09,388
Speaker 8: Good morning.

453
00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:13,268
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've seen them all the way through. I didn't

454
00:20:13,348 --> 00:20:15,028
Speaker 12: take my eyes off of it because I was like,

455
00:20:15,388 --> 00:20:17,628
Speaker 12: you give me a chance on this, and I better

456
00:20:17,628 --> 00:20:18,228
Speaker 12: come down with it.

457
00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:19,388
Speaker 3: And that's what happened.

458
00:20:19,588 --> 00:20:28,588
Speaker 13: First down Williams on the whole directing traffic, d J.

459
00:20:30,268 --> 00:20:31,348
Speaker 4: Second of the day.

460
00:20:31,628 --> 00:20:33,308
Speaker 13: No, DJ made a heck of a play there right

461
00:20:33,348 --> 00:20:34,348
Speaker 13: on the back line as well.

462
00:20:34,428 --> 00:20:35,868
Speaker 8: That was one of those highlight moments.

463
00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:45,788
Speaker 6: There two touchdowns on that day for number two. It's

464
00:20:45,828 --> 00:20:47,948
Speaker 6: a beautiful time in Chicago right now for football, and

465
00:20:47,988 --> 00:20:51,388
Speaker 6: we have one of the best players and most interesting

466
00:20:51,468 --> 00:20:53,868
Speaker 6: people in the entire NFL. You know him, you love him,

467
00:20:53,828 --> 00:20:56,788
Speaker 6: the wide receiver for Chicago Bears. DJ Moore, what's up, baby, Welcome.

468
00:20:56,548 --> 00:20:56,908
Speaker 4: Good morning.

469
00:20:58,308 --> 00:21:02,268
Speaker 3: Hello, I'm going amazing this morning. How are y'all? We're

470
00:21:02,308 --> 00:21:03,188
Speaker 3: doing great? Dude?

471
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:04,388
Speaker 6: How's life right now?

472
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:06,348
Speaker 3: Well, life is amazing.

473
00:21:06,908 --> 00:21:09,668
Speaker 12: I'm on the other side of this five hundred things,

474
00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:11,548
Speaker 12: so I'm excited.

475
00:21:12,628 --> 00:21:14,388
Speaker 3: I know, and there's so much going on. DJ.

476
00:21:14,668 --> 00:21:16,908
Speaker 6: We have seen you over the years catch a lot

477
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:19,388
Speaker 6: of passes and a lot of touchdowns. We never seen

478
00:21:19,388 --> 00:21:21,228
Speaker 6: one like that that. We just showed the one from

479
00:21:21,308 --> 00:21:23,868
Speaker 6: Caleb on the sideline back of the end zone. It's

480
00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:26,188
Speaker 6: a really breathtaking play and it brought the house down

481
00:21:26,228 --> 00:21:28,468
Speaker 6: in Soldier Field. When that's going on, do you have

482
00:21:28,548 --> 00:21:31,108
Speaker 6: a sort of like no, Caleb, don't or yes do

483
00:21:31,348 --> 00:21:32,708
Speaker 6: Like what is going on through your head?

484
00:21:32,748 --> 00:21:33,548
Speaker 4: Just take us through everything.

485
00:21:33,788 --> 00:21:34,788
Speaker 8: It's a fascinating play.

486
00:21:35,988 --> 00:21:37,468
Speaker 3: I was on the back side, and.

487
00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:41,148
Speaker 12: Once once I got over there, I knew I had

488
00:21:41,228 --> 00:21:43,268
Speaker 12: left the corner. I was like he might throw this,

489
00:21:43,348 --> 00:21:45,188
Speaker 12: And when he threw it, I was like no, no, no,

490
00:21:45,188 --> 00:21:45,908
Speaker 12: no in my head.

491
00:21:45,988 --> 00:21:46,628
Speaker 3: But then I'm like.

492
00:21:46,908 --> 00:21:48,628
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, yes, yes, because I knew I had the

493
00:21:48,668 --> 00:21:50,628
Speaker 12: ball when they jumped in front of me.

494
00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:52,108
Speaker 3: I was excited.

495
00:21:52,708 --> 00:21:55,588
Speaker 7: I bet, and you were not the only one your head.

496
00:21:55,588 --> 00:21:58,988
Speaker 7: Coach Ben Johnson was obviously asked about the completion after

497
00:21:59,028 --> 00:22:01,628
Speaker 7: the game and in the press conference. While he was

498
00:22:01,668 --> 00:22:04,268
Speaker 7: in awe of it, He's still not surprised.

499
00:22:04,748 --> 00:22:05,948
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to coach real.

500
00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:09,868
Speaker 13: Quick, I would say ninety nine percent of quarterbacks. You

501
00:22:09,868 --> 00:22:12,348
Speaker 13: tell him, don't don't even waste your time looking back

502
00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:15,188
Speaker 13: there and trying to make that throws. There's usually bad

503
00:22:15,228 --> 00:22:17,708
Speaker 13: things that happen, and yet he's got the ability to

504
00:22:17,708 --> 00:22:20,628
Speaker 13: make that throw. And you know, DJ made a heck

505
00:22:20,668 --> 00:22:22,468
Speaker 13: of a play there right on the back line as well.

506
00:22:22,628 --> 00:22:25,828
Speaker 13: So yeah, that was that was one of those highlight

507
00:22:25,868 --> 00:22:26,668
Speaker 13: moments there.

508
00:22:27,948 --> 00:22:30,908
Speaker 7: So what is it about your connection with Caleb DJ

509
00:22:31,108 --> 00:22:33,588
Speaker 7: that makes coach so confident that, like, you know what,

510
00:22:33,748 --> 00:22:35,628
Speaker 7: you can look back there in the end zone if

511
00:22:35,628 --> 00:22:37,628
Speaker 7: you got DJ in back there.

512
00:22:39,188 --> 00:22:41,188
Speaker 12: I think it just comes down to me in detailed

513
00:22:41,508 --> 00:22:44,508
Speaker 12: throughout the weekend, them building trust with with each of

514
00:22:44,548 --> 00:22:46,788
Speaker 12: the receivers, and then on that play, just having a

515
00:22:46,788 --> 00:22:49,388
Speaker 12: lot of trust to me to just throw it back

516
00:22:49,428 --> 00:22:51,868
Speaker 12: across his body like that in the back of the

517
00:22:51,948 --> 00:22:52,428
Speaker 12: end zone.

518
00:22:52,588 --> 00:22:55,148
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, this team, this Bears team, you guys are

519
00:22:55,188 --> 00:22:56,188
Speaker 5: fun and a lot of arms.

520
00:22:56,188 --> 00:22:57,228
Speaker 4: Your head coach is fun.

521
00:22:57,388 --> 00:23:00,548
Speaker 5: I mean, take me inside that locker room when he's

522
00:23:00,588 --> 00:23:05,108
Speaker 5: flexing the shirtless and he's talking about not a lot

523
00:23:05,148 --> 00:23:07,188
Speaker 5: of rush, you know, you know he does sometimes I

524
00:23:07,268 --> 00:23:07,628
Speaker 5: just hear it.

525
00:23:07,708 --> 00:23:09,868
Speaker 4: Sometimes it just falls from the rafters around here.

526
00:23:12,228 --> 00:23:14,468
Speaker 5: You hear what I'm talking about I mean, this guy

527
00:23:14,548 --> 00:23:18,428
Speaker 5: was an unbelievable offensive coordinator. Yeah, it's translating the head

528
00:23:18,428 --> 00:23:19,548
Speaker 5: coach with stuff like that.

529
00:23:20,748 --> 00:23:24,868
Speaker 12: Yeah, he just brings the energy every day he starts

530
00:23:24,908 --> 00:23:26,788
Speaker 12: it and then it just trickles down to everybody in

531
00:23:26,828 --> 00:23:28,428
Speaker 12: the building and all the way down to us. And

532
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,668
Speaker 12: we just got to reciprocate that energy and go out

533
00:23:30,708 --> 00:23:32,028
Speaker 12: there and do our thing.

534
00:23:32,908 --> 00:23:36,228
Speaker 8: DJ. Bro, you seem like a real laid back, chill dude.

535
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:38,988
Speaker 9: And after your performance, coach gave it the game ball

536
00:23:39,548 --> 00:23:42,228
Speaker 9: and you said after he after he presented it to you,

537
00:23:42,308 --> 00:23:44,508
Speaker 9: that I ain't fall I ain't fall off.

538
00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:46,468
Speaker 8: Tell us what's the meaning behind that?

539
00:23:46,588 --> 00:23:48,268
Speaker 9: And it was there a message that you were trying

540
00:23:48,308 --> 00:23:50,068
Speaker 9: to send to your teammates or to the rest of

541
00:23:50,068 --> 00:23:50,548
Speaker 9: the NFL.

542
00:23:51,628 --> 00:23:53,428
Speaker 12: No, I wasn't really trying to send a message. It

543
00:23:53,468 --> 00:23:56,108
Speaker 12: was more for me, like, uh, just the just the

544
00:23:56,148 --> 00:23:58,828
Speaker 12: way the year was going and everything. I just needed

545
00:23:58,868 --> 00:24:01,948
Speaker 12: that confidence just to keep keep going even though we

546
00:24:01,988 --> 00:24:05,028
Speaker 12: went and you still got to have that little competitive

547
00:24:05,108 --> 00:24:07,428
Speaker 12: edge in yourself that you want to be better each

548
00:24:07,468 --> 00:24:08,028
Speaker 12: and every week.

549
00:24:08,268 --> 00:24:10,948
Speaker 6: Dude, You've been on such an incredible journey and I

550
00:24:10,948 --> 00:24:12,708
Speaker 6: want to get into the history of you when you

551
00:24:12,788 --> 00:24:16,108
Speaker 6: were a senior in high school EMM TEP Institute Charter,

552
00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:19,908
Speaker 6: you were twelve and two. The team three years at

553
00:24:19,908 --> 00:24:22,868
Speaker 6: Maryland did not have a winning record, five years in

554
00:24:22,908 --> 00:24:25,908
Speaker 6: Carolina did not have a winning record. Two years prior

555
00:24:25,948 --> 00:24:28,028
Speaker 6: in Chicago did not have a winning record. In other words,

556
00:24:28,028 --> 00:24:30,748
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, DJ, this is your first season with

557
00:24:30,788 --> 00:24:33,068
Speaker 6: a winning record since high school. And I don't bring

558
00:24:33,108 --> 00:24:33,948
Speaker 6: that up to be negative.

559
00:24:33,988 --> 00:24:35,148
Speaker 3: I know you've been through a lot.

560
00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:37,268
Speaker 6: That's a lot of coaches, a lot of teammates, a

561
00:24:37,268 --> 00:24:39,988
Speaker 6: lot of hustle, a lot of sacrifice. How good does

562
00:24:40,028 --> 00:24:41,748
Speaker 6: it feel to be winning right now?

563
00:24:42,508 --> 00:24:43,588
Speaker 3: I mean, it feels amazing.

564
00:24:43,668 --> 00:24:46,628
Speaker 12: I get to see what everybody else get the hype

565
00:24:46,668 --> 00:24:51,148
Speaker 12: about plan in December and January, so I'm looking forward

566
00:24:51,228 --> 00:24:54,628
Speaker 12: to it. And this year has been fun outside of the

567
00:24:54,668 --> 00:24:57,348
Speaker 12: stats and everything, just building a bond with this team

568
00:24:57,388 --> 00:24:57,948
Speaker 12: has been fun.

569
00:24:58,908 --> 00:24:59,148
Speaker 8: DJ.

570
00:24:59,268 --> 00:25:00,628
Speaker 7: Is that what you meant at the beginning of this

571
00:25:00,668 --> 00:25:02,588
Speaker 7: interview when you said it's good to be on this

572
00:25:02,708 --> 00:25:05,268
Speaker 7: side of five hundred? Is it that much in your

573
00:25:05,308 --> 00:25:07,148
Speaker 7: brain when someone asks you, how are you.

574
00:25:08,388 --> 00:25:10,628
Speaker 3: A little bit? Because it'd be.

575
00:25:12,748 --> 00:25:14,868
Speaker 12: Now that I'm on the winning side, people are more

576
00:25:14,908 --> 00:25:18,308
Speaker 12: excited that for me that I am and instead of dang,

577
00:25:18,308 --> 00:25:21,948
Speaker 12: why are you not getting the ball, it's more like, oh, he's.

Speaker 3: On a team now, So I'm very grateful.

591
00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:05,508
Speaker 5: nominee for the Chicago it's got to mean something differently,

592
00:26:05,668 --> 00:26:08,548
Speaker 5: especially when the award is presented by someone close to

593
00:26:08,628 --> 00:26:12,228
Speaker 5: Walter Payton, his son Jared. How special was that and

594
00:26:12,268 --> 00:26:14,308
Speaker 5: to be a part of this legacy for the Bears.

595
00:26:14,908 --> 00:26:17,388
Speaker 12: It was amazing when I seen him come through the

596
00:26:17,428 --> 00:26:19,588
Speaker 12: back door, when they surprised me with my family, I

597
00:26:20,348 --> 00:26:22,548
Speaker 12: was real surprising. I really didn't know what was going

598
00:26:22,588 --> 00:26:26,188
Speaker 12: on at the beginning. Then I was like, wait, hold on,

599
00:26:26,348 --> 00:26:30,188
Speaker 12: this is Walter Payon's son, Jared, and I'm like, am

600
00:26:30,228 --> 00:26:32,908
Speaker 12: I getting nominated? And then they revealed that I am,

601
00:26:32,948 --> 00:26:35,068
Speaker 12: and I was a little emotional.

602
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:37,428
Speaker 8: DJ, I gotta ask you a fun question.

603
00:26:37,468 --> 00:26:39,108
Speaker 9: So I don't know if you knew this, but my

604
00:26:39,188 --> 00:26:41,268
Speaker 9: last year in the NFL was with the Chicago Bears,

605
00:26:41,268 --> 00:26:43,708
Speaker 9: and I know Hollas Hall very very well, and you

606
00:26:43,828 --> 00:26:46,908
Speaker 9: do too. Now there are three football fields at Hollis Hall.

607
00:26:46,948 --> 00:26:49,708
Speaker 9: There's a practice field that's right outside the building, There's

608
00:26:49,748 --> 00:26:52,908
Speaker 9: a Walter Payton Center, which is the indoor facility, and

609
00:26:52,948 --> 00:26:56,508
Speaker 9: then there's a field that's all overy by that train tracks. Now, DJ,

610
00:26:57,748 --> 00:27:01,308
Speaker 9: does coach Ben Johnson punish the team after a loss

611
00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:03,268
Speaker 9: by going all the way to the train tracks, Because

612
00:27:03,308 --> 00:27:06,108
Speaker 9: when Matt Nagy was our coach after a loss, he

613
00:27:06,148 --> 00:27:09,548
Speaker 9: would make us in the middle of December practice on the.

614
00:27:09,508 --> 00:27:11,588
Speaker 8: Field by the train tracks. How is it for you?

615
00:27:12,868 --> 00:27:13,348
Speaker 3: Right now?

616
00:27:14,068 --> 00:27:16,988
Speaker 12: Those fields are snowed over, so we haven't been back here.

617
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:19,748
Speaker 12: We've been on fields one and two. They go and

618
00:27:20,068 --> 00:27:22,868
Speaker 12: we use the Walton Peyton Center just for walkthroughs. But

619
00:27:23,228 --> 00:27:25,788
Speaker 12: other than that, we outside in the freezing code with

620
00:27:25,908 --> 00:27:27,028
Speaker 12: no heaters or nothing.

621
00:27:29,108 --> 00:27:31,348
Speaker 6: Like. It will be Saturday night against the Packers. Man,

622
00:27:31,828 --> 00:27:34,468
Speaker 6: just DJ, you've been around this before. You know, the

623
00:27:34,508 --> 00:27:36,668
Speaker 6: game in Green Bay came up short. You were frustrated,

624
00:27:36,708 --> 00:27:38,308
Speaker 6: all you guys where I know you want this badly?

625
00:27:38,588 --> 00:27:40,548
Speaker 6: How does the team feel? How do you feel? It's

626
00:27:40,628 --> 00:27:41,988
Speaker 6: huge matchup on Saturday night?

627
00:27:42,908 --> 00:27:44,508
Speaker 3: Nobody's really talking about the matchup.

628
00:27:44,548 --> 00:27:47,268
Speaker 12: I think everybody understands the assignment at hand, and we

629

Speaker 6: I absolutely love, and we got on the topic, the

639
00:28:10,028 --> 00:28:12,708
Speaker 6: three of us, about how Justin had been a pescatarian

640
00:28:12,788 --> 00:28:14,828
Speaker 6: means he just seats fish, and maybe he had now

641
00:28:14,828 --> 00:28:17,388
Speaker 6: expanded to other things. And you guys got on a

642
00:28:17,468 --> 00:28:19,588
Speaker 6: term A couple of years ago that I did not know,

643
00:28:19,668 --> 00:28:22,228
Speaker 6: and you had to teach me. Watch this video because

644
00:28:22,228 --> 00:28:23,668
Speaker 6: this is a weird one, but I always look back

645
00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:24,188
Speaker 6: on it fondly.

646
00:28:25,908 --> 00:28:26,988
Speaker 4: How's the vegan life?

647
00:28:27,108 --> 00:28:27,268
Speaker 3: You know?

648
00:28:27,268 --> 00:28:29,188
Speaker 8: I'm off for the vegan life on pescatarian Now.

649
00:28:29,028 --> 00:28:31,228
Speaker 3: Will you join the pescatarian army or you're out on that?

650
00:28:31,508 --> 00:28:31,908
Speaker 3: I'm good?

651
00:28:32,588 --> 00:28:34,708
Speaker 12: Yeah, you're going to catch with the glizzies hot dog

652
00:28:34,828 --> 00:28:35,988
Speaker 12: chicken tenders?

653
00:28:35,708 --> 00:28:36,228
Speaker 3: Is that true?

654
00:28:37,348 --> 00:28:39,228
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what a glizzy is.

655
00:28:40,068 --> 00:28:40,628
Speaker 3: It's a hot dog.

656
00:28:41,068 --> 00:28:42,308
Speaker 8: It's the New Nicks when.

657
00:28:44,788 --> 00:28:45,908
Speaker 3: All right?

658
00:28:47,548 --> 00:28:49,988
Speaker 6: Was I wrong? Should I have known? Or I just

659
00:28:49,988 --> 00:28:50,948
Speaker 6: don't know what to make of that?

660
00:28:51,348 --> 00:28:54,548
Speaker 12: Now you shouldn't know. We put the guzsye term on you.

661
00:28:54,668 --> 00:28:57,388
Speaker 12: So yeah, that means hot dogs. But I don't eat

662
00:28:57,428 --> 00:29:00,108
Speaker 12: hot dogs. I do eat the chicken tenders and stuff

663
00:29:00,148 --> 00:29:01,388
Speaker 12: like that, but not the hot dogs.

664
00:29:02,308 --> 00:29:05,148
Speaker 6: All right, So it's interesting because of all DJ then

665
00:29:05,148 --> 00:29:07,948
Speaker 6: not hot dogs are gizzies. So glizzies they came up

666
00:29:07,988 --> 00:29:11,428
Speaker 6: again because when Coach took his shirt off, he said

667
00:29:11,428 --> 00:29:13,908
Speaker 6: he would do that so that all of Chicago could

668
00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:16,508
Speaker 6: get free glizzies from the Winner Circle downtown.

669
00:29:16,668 --> 00:29:17,548
Speaker 3: So you did not go.

670
00:29:17,948 --> 00:29:20,588
Speaker 6: This was first of all DJ, take us through this.

671
00:29:20,788 --> 00:29:22,028
Speaker 3: What was this like for you?

672
00:29:24,068 --> 00:29:26,148
Speaker 12: I think A reporter asked me, did I think he

673
00:29:26,268 --> 00:29:27,788
Speaker 12: was ever going to do it? I said, yeah, but

674
00:29:27,828 --> 00:29:29,908
Speaker 12: it has to be like a meaningful game for him.

675
00:29:29,828 --> 00:29:30,148
Speaker 3: To do it.

676
00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:32,548
Speaker 12: And then when we beat the yes, he did it.

677
00:29:33,388 --> 00:29:35,388
Speaker 12: And then that wasn't the only thing that happened in

678
00:29:35,388 --> 00:29:39,228
Speaker 12: the locker room. We had somebody hole in the ceiling.

679
00:29:39,388 --> 00:29:42,748
Speaker 12: And yes, they don't keep that to myself.

680
00:29:46,148 --> 00:29:48,668
Speaker 6: Well, the internet thinks that the puncher's name rhymes with

681
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:49,708
Speaker 6: ohm Radunze.

682
00:29:52,188 --> 00:29:55,588
Speaker 8: I don't know, he doesn't know.

683
00:29:56,148 --> 00:30:00,868
Speaker 6: That's awesome, DJ, incredible to see you genuinely really really happy,
