I appreciate it. Thanks for having 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: me on. What a time.

Appreciate it. I'm exciting your commercial was on. 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: I was watching the NBA yesterday and your kids guy 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: on all the Time, which is a great commercial. It's there. 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: It's I don't know who wrote the spot for you, 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: but it is a microcosm of who you are, humble, 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: appreciative and also the wink. When did the wink become 30 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: a thing? Because it feels like the fact that you know, 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: national commercials are branding you with a wink, because this 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: is a whole different Matthew Stafford, Yeah, I don't know. 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I feel like I don't know. 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: I feel like I've done it for a while, but 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: it's catching fire. I guess. The A T and T 36 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: spot was kind of fun. Whoever wrote it was genius. 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: They it was too easy. It was too well written 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: for me to mess up. So that's why it's doing good. 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, how many takes with the wink? Uh? 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: The wink was an early take and then we tried 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of different endings as you got. All that 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: stuff happens. But yeah, lially the female that works for 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: a TT does all the commercials, she's awesome. She was 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: a stud helped me through it, kind of showed me 45 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: the ropes made it, made it easy for me. But 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: the wink was an early and early thought. Did you 47 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: overthink it at all? I mean, I think this could 48 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: be a Curb or Seinfeld episode where it's like do 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: I go hard? Do I do? I mean, how did 50 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: that play out for you? Yeah? Have I not had her, 51 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: that would have been completely lost? Uh. After alone, they 52 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: call it like line reading in the business, where you 53 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: know the director would be like, hey, can you make 54 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: me feel this way when you say this? I'm like no, 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: but if you tell me how you want it to sound, 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: I can then repeat it for you. I was like, 57 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: my whole life is somebody talks in my ear. I 58 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: repeat that. So they did that for me a couple 59 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: of times, which I think is a no no and 60 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: the real biz, but they helped me out. Um I 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: that's wonderful that you're always giving credit to other people. 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's somebody can give you the route to run, 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: or the or the play you know to initiate, but 64 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: you have to actually do it. So part of that commercial, 65 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: which I loved, and it was about talking about turning 66 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: in your old phone after twelve years, the pun there 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: of force was leaving Detroit. You still care so much 68 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: about the city that made you who you are. Um, 69 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, raising your family there, you and Kelly, you 70 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: starting a life there together. When you look back on 71 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: it now, does Detroit feel like a long time ago? 72 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: Does it feel like everything that's happened to you with 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: him this last year, does it feel like you lived 74 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: in Detroit ten years ago? Yeah? Sometimes for sure. I 75 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: also haven't been back, you know. Kelly and I are 76 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: going back this weekend actually for a charity thing that 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: we kind of did right before we left, and they're 78 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: starting to break ground on it. So we're pumped to 79 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: go back and see some old buddies and do all that. 80 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that will bring me right back and 81 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: it'll be like I left there yesterday. But at the moment, yeah, 82 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: not having been back and all that's transpired in the 83 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: last year, both for me professionally and us as a family, 84 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: he definitely seems like a long time ago. But I 85 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: still have a bunch of good friends and good people 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: that I know. They're that I'm excited to go see. 87 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: So I'm sure after this weekend it'll feel a little 88 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: bit different. I was gonna say, what are you anticipating? 89 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you even think that's going to 90 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: be like for you? Well, I got a video from 91 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: my man Hank this morning and it's snowing in Detroit currently, 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: So hoping that up um and I don't have to 93 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: deal with that. I think it's supposed to be a 94 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: little bit better by the time we get there, But 95 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just I'm excited to know it's April. 96 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: How horrible is that? Also, look at your tan, I 97 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: mean Detroit, not only are they so sad you're gone, 98 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: And I mean, I know you know all the stories 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: about just how it just appreciative, how they were in 100 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: on the whole super Bowl run for you, that was 101 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: so cool. But I think they're gonna be pissed about 102 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: you walking back with that tan this weekend. You're probably 103 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: I'll keep it indoors until Friday, try to try to 104 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: get a little wider. But now it's it's it's pretty 105 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: nice out of here. I'm not gonna easter outside? Is 106 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: it was nice as opposed to the the eastern and the 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: snow in Detroit? Yeah? We Um, you and I sat 108 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: down for NFL films before the start of the season, 109 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: and who talked about you know, you come to l 110 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: A and it's this whole idea that you're gonna, you know, 111 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: be brought in to bring this team to a place 112 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: that they haven't been for been to in a while. Um, 113 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: their last sup of will run fell short. So you're 114 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: gonna save this team, of course with the help of 115 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: some of the other big guys that they brought in. 116 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: The storybook ending, the Hollywood ending is you win the 117 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I can't believe you use that line in 118 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: your your interview, by the way, Chriss, because I used 119 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: that too right before NYC Championship we uncovered that.

And uh, 132 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: part of that was him, Like we didn't even talk 133 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: about it. I went in there the normal time I 134 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: used to go and when I was in Detroit, and 135 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: I walked in their day one and he was in there, 136 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, So we just just 137 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: kind of organically happened.

Was 143 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: there a moment afterwards or even weeks afterwards that you 144 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: thought to yourself, Oh ship, I did it? Like when 145 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: did that oh ship moment? Actually got got the check? Um. 146 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: The first time that that really kind of hit me 147 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: was really during the game. A d makes the great 148 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: play on fourth down that I did not know it 149 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: was fourth down because I couldn't watch or pay attention. Yeah, 150 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: I was sitting there on the bench just like, oh God, 151 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: out there, take us through that. Sorry to interrupt you, 152 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: but how the hell does that happen? Like, take us 153 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: through that? So you know that, you know that's the well, 154 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: what the hell did you know? Yeah? I didn't know 155 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: that was down at all? Yeah, what are you doing? 156 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: I was I was eating a hot dog on the sideline, 157 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: but no, I uh I, Um, I was sitting there 158 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: and looking down. I just looking down at my feet 159 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: on the bench. Cooper, I think was doing like the 160 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: exact same thing down um, you know, four or five 161 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: seats away from me. But I thought that was to 162 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: be honestly, I thought it was third down. Um, I 163 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: think I missed the run, you know, on third down 164 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and incomplete past eighty makes unbelievable rush, gets Joe to 165 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, have to throw away before he wants and 166 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: scramble around, do all that whole thing, and then people 167 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: start going crazy on the sideline. I was like, what's 168 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: going on? And one of our young receivers came up 169 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: was like, we won, we won. Whatever that was fourth down? 170 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, but I kind of went 171 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: like right before I steped back on the field, it 172 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: just kind of hit me, kind of went down into 173 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: a squat and Sean ran over to me and and 174 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, it was just hugging me up and stuff 175 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: and talking about how excited we were. But that was 176 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: kind of the first time. And then as far as afterwards, 177 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, there was you know, a week or 178 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: two that was a little bit of a blur, but 179 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: it was a whole lot of fun. Uh, I don't know. 180 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: I just celebrated with all the people that helped me 181 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: get there. You know. That was the cool part, was 182 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: being able to do that with teammates and family and 183 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Can I go back to 184 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: the fourth down? I don't know if you ever saw 185 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: what was it the thirty for thirty where they did 186 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: the Fab five, and I thought one of the best 187 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: things about it was where they showed the time out 188 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: and all you've heard was like a heartbeat and it 189 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: was so well done. What are you hearing at that moment, Matthew, 190 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: where you don't know if it's third or fourth down? 191 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: Are you hearing your heartbeat? Are you hearing the music, Like, 192 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: what the hell is going on in your head? Um, 193 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I don't know why it 194 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: wasn't ACTU and I have so much trust in our defense. 195 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: I think that's what I was just saying to the ground. 196 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: I was probably just going at one stop, one stop, 197 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: just stop, just one stop, and uh, you know the 198 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: first play they I thought Jalen, To be honest with here, 199 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: I watched the very first play that drive and they 200 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: throw that little stop route to Jamar Chase, and I 201 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: thought I was like watching Jalen for some reason, and 202 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: he had such a good break on it, and if 203 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: he looks back, I think he picks it and runs back, 204 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: runs it back for like a game winning pick six, 205 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: and he just went for the tackle. Jamar made a 206 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: great play and they got it out to you know 207 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: whatever that was like on the first play. And then 208 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, me standing and watching his 209 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: bad luck, so I'm gonna set my ass down and 210 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: stare at the ground and see if that brings us 211 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: some better luck. And then it did. Are you superstitious 212 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: a little bit? Grew up playing baseball a little bit, 213 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: so I have a few things here and there, but 214 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, something's not working. If I'm sitting down 215 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: on the sideline and our defense is just shutting people out, 216 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: there no reason for me to get up, and kind 217 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: of vice versa. What I love about that story is, 218 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: of course you're on wife Kelly, who we love at 219 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: a door and she also has a great podcast for 220 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: anyone that hasn't heard. The Morning After tells some stories. 221 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the college stories especially give me UM. 222 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: But the fact that she couldn't watch either, and she 223 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: was in the hallway with her down not watching the 224 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: last drive and somebody thought that she was sick like 225 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: a drink too much and they're like, man, do you 226 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: aren't sleeping? She was, definitely, But neither of you guys couldn't. 227 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: Um watches cute and sort of speaks to the fact 228 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: that you just have trust and you know what is 229 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: going to be. But that's so it's so awesome. I 230 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: had the privilege of covering you for a long time 231 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: with my NFC dorts assignments, and there was a lot 232 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: of games where you know, you had we're on the 233 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: other side of that. So the biggest for you in 234 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: your life that's changed since winning the Super Bowl is 235 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: oh man, um shorter offseason. For sure. We start tomorrow, 236 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: which blows my mind. I don't know, to be honest 237 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: with you, my day to day is pretty similar. You know, 238 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: for the most part. The people that I knew and 239 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: talked to before I still know and talked to. And 240 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: there's not too much of a difference. You know, probably 241 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: more opportunities to do a T and T commercials and 242 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: things like that. But from the day to day, I'm 243 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: just getting ready to go play another season. And and uh, 244 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: I think a fun moment will be the ring ceremony, 245 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: like whenever we get that, whenever that happens. Just getting 246 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: that same group, because our group is going to be different, 247 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: but getting that group back together that won that Super Bowl, 248 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: you know, players and coaches that have moved on to 249 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: bigger and better stuff. To get those guys back in 250 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: the building and be able to hang with them will 251 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun moment. I mean, I have 252 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: seven thousand questions for you. Um, can I ask I 253 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: think you mentioned this, I don't know, maybe last week, 254 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: but I want to know this song. Is there a 255 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: song that you listen to maybe before you went out 256 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: on the field for the Super Bowl, or is there 257 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: a go to song you've had since U G A 258 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: or anything like that. I am not a huge pregame 259 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: music guy. I kind of especially when we play, you know, 260 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: away games or even home games. A lot of guys 261 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: like to like put that on to kind of get 262 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: lost and you listen to what they're familiar to. I 263 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: kind of like the opposite. I like to hear the 264 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: opposing fans screaming at me, or the home fans cheering 265 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: for I like part of that to me is the 266 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: fun part of why I get to do what I do. 267 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Like no other part of your life, you walk around 268 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: and people are either cheering for your chairing against you. 269 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: You know, go to the grocery store and people do that. 270 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: So it's like it's kind of it's on Lincoln, it's 271 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: the huge, huge, continued there. You'll get late happy hours, 272 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: dangerous section. They are lively, but you know, it's just 273 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: like it helps me get into I enjoy that whole atmosphere. 274 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: So I don't really do that. The only time I 275 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: really listen to music, to be honest with you, So 276 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: we play in New York City, I usually listen to 277 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra, you know, just kind of get it. Going. 278 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just I feel like it. I 279 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: think the same three gave music. So what about what 280 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: was the first tune that you remember hearing? Maybe with 281 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: like four cigars hanging out of your mouth like anything? 282 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: Come on now, I don't even know if I can. 283 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: I can't point one out. I just know right when 284 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 1: I walked into the locker room, it was like a 285 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: cigar in my mouth, bud light and somebody handed me 286 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Happy Van Lincal straight out of the bottle. I'm like, 287 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: all right, we're doing this, and uh, yeah it was. 288 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: It was a fun hours, really really twenty four So 289 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: I had to wake up and take my kids to 290 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: Disneyland the next day, which was a beating, but uh, 291 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: it was fun. It was an epic video that Kelly 292 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: on her podcast, the video of you just walking straight 293 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: into the pool. So where did this a just for 294 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: a way for you to wake up? Was it a bet? What? What? 295 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: What's the story behind that? This was after an hour 296 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: of sleep on my couch with like one ft on 297 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: the ground and doing her podcast, which I don't know. 298 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I was just buggling through. Yeah, yeah, I 299 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: needed a little pick me up. I knew, Uh, we 300 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: had a nine am. I believe the Disneyland bus was 301 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: outside the front door. You take us. So I was like, 302 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: I need to uh spark it up a little bit 303 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: here and just just went face first in there to 304 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: to a cold pool. Try to wake me up. Matthew 305 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: super Bowl postgame party. What do you regret? What are 306 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: you glad you got to do? And what do you 307 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: wish you had done more of any of that? Um? 308 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: Regret not much. I mean the biggest, the hardest thing 309 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: for me was like there were a ton of people. 310 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: We had like a little after party thing, and there 311 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: were a ton of people that whether it would be 312 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: high school buddies, college people I met while I'm in 313 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: the NFL family, Like, it was almost it was hard 314 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: to spend time with everybody. I got to say hi 315 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: to everybody. I feel like I wanted to say hi too. 316 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: If I miss you, I'm sorry, But that would be 317 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: the only regret is maybe not being able to spend 318 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: as much time as everybody. Yeah, exactly, Um highlights, Uh, 319 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing was a blast. I think 320 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: really even before the party, the thing I'll remember the 321 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: most and like chairs the most that I got with 322 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: a microphone on filmed, you know, for the for the 323 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: NFL at that time with my family down on the field, 324 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: which was super cool. To be able to have the 325 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: audio and the video of that is awesome. I mean, 326 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: went to Drake's which was fun. I don't know why 327 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: I was there, but I was there. I don't know 328 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: who else was there. It was dark and it was late, 329 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: but who cares. Yeah, I mean I was just along 330 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: for the ride at that point. Somebody could have told 331 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: me we were going somewhere else and I've been ready 332 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: to go. But yeah, you know, stolen hour of sleep 333 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: and there was out of again the next days that 334 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: in my life. I don't know, dark, it was late, 335 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: I don't know who was there. But now here's the deal. 336 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: So as a entertainment reporter, I guess, um, every week 337 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: the headlines of you and buying Drake's house and all this. God, 338 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: you know that living in l A comes with a 339 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: lot of headlines that are true or false or not. 340 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Are you ever surprised by some of this stuff? I mean, 341 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: has there been a headline that has come out about 342 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: you that you just go where would they get that? Um? Yeah? 343 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: Most of the time that kind of stuff happens after 344 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: Kelly's podcast comes out, and there's intricate parts of my 345 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: personal life that are blasted all over the Apple news 346 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: feed that I get, and I asked her, why the 347 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: hell am I reading about this? That's usually when I 348 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: when I noticed that the most you know, how are 349 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: you with that? Matthew? How are you with that? Because 350 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: you are so I mean, I think for people that 351 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: don't know you, so, I mean reserved whatever. And Kelly's 352 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: a fire cracker. I mean she's just amazing with that. Yeah, 353 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: how are you with handling that? It was yeah, right, 354 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: let me tell you to take you back now. Um 355 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: when she when she said she was gonna do you know, 356 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: start this and what she wanted to talk about, I 357 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: was like, what you know, Like that is not something 358 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: I really wanted to have out there and talk about. 359 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: But she does such a great job, and yeah, it's 360 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: something that I'm I guess getting better at and learning 361 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: to just not let it bother me. Skip past those 362 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: those articles, don't read too much it. But it's I 363 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: don't know how she does that, Like I cannot um 364 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: the amount of stuff that she is able to share 365 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: and relate to people with kind of blows my mind. Um, 366 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: I could never do that. But that's probably what makes 367 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: us work is I'm the complete opposite when it comes 368 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: to that, and I appreciate that part about her, and 369 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: I think she knows that I'm a on a sounding 370 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: board when it comes to is this too much you 371 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: know to share with people? And and we go, we 372 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: go with that. You guys have such a special relationship 373 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: and dating back all the way to college. When you 374 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: think about there was that moment on the field of 375 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game when I told the story on 376 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: here where she I was like, Okay, I'm gonna capture 377 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: everything for you. I'm not gonna miss nailed it. I've 378 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: crushed it. Okay, somebody hired me on National Geographic. I'll 379 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: get that zebra, no problem. But I missed the whole 380 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: thing up. Luckily, there was like seven million cameras to 381 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: capture the moment. But you mentioned it earlier, like being 382 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: able to share that with your family. What do you 383 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 1: think about, Mathew, the journey that you guys have been 384 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: on together. You were babies when this thing it and 385 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: now you have four babies. How has being a husband 386 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: and a father of four girls made you a better quarterback. Yeah. 387 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think for me, stability in my life 388 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: and my job helps me out so much. And I 389 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: know what Kelly is all about. She knows what I'm 390 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: all about. So you know, as far as being able to, 391 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, have her in my corner, it's huge. And 392 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: then I think another thing too, is you know, the 393 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,239 Speaker 1: second you're married, you're part of a team, and uh, 394 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: you know, you learned that you're not just doing it 395 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: for yourself anymore. And that's kind of how I try 396 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: to go about my job in football as well. And 397 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: then it becomes even more apparent when you have a 398 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: bunch of the kids running around and and uh, you know, 399 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: there's moments where it's tough, you know, and Kelly and 400 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: I are wanting to, you know, rip each other's heads off, 401 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: and you know, and do the same to our kids 402 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: at the same you know, It's just there's tough times 403 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just gives you perspective and patience 404 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: and and then you know, you you know, Hunter was 405 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: in here in the office saying hey to you guys 406 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: before we hopped on and she's just pointing at random 407 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: things in my office? Is that yours? I'm like, Yeah, 408 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: she's like, did you win? Like she has no clue 409 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: and doesn't care, and that's yeah, helps put it in 410 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: perspective for me, because there are plenty of times where no, hunty, 411 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: I did not win. There are plenty of those times, 412 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's it's uh, they just made 413 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: me smile and you know, put life in perspective for me. 414 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: So it's it's a lot of fun. There's a line 415 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: from one of Chris and I his favorite movies with 416 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: Cameron Diaz Sweetest Thing, where she's talking about this guy 417 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: she likes and she says, and he's funny, And I 418 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: feel that way so much about you. I mean, this 419 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: sneaky humor and we both know, all three of us 420 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: know your wife is on you a little bit to 421 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: kind of let some of that out. You see that 422 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: with Tom that you know now that he's left the Patriots. 423 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if half the stuff on 424 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,239 Speaker 1: Twitter is from him, but I guess it's funny. Um, 425 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: any thoughts about that now that you've won, Like you're 426 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: gonna let all the hair down or what are you thinking? Oh? 427 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: Probably half of half down? You know. I'm really funny, Yeah, 428 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: a little relaxed, I think, but I mean, to be 429 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: honest with you, it's like, too many years of doing 430 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: interviews and answering in a certain way, it's just sometimes 431 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: easier to, um, you know 'spec like in season football stuff, 432 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: to just kind of do what you do and move on. 433 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, this is my second podcast ever 434 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: to be on the side my wife. So I step 435 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: out there. I'm stepping out there. That's very sweet. Um, 436 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: you know the pressure did you feel when you got 437 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: here that if you didn't win at all, that it 438 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: would be a failure. Um. I don't think that I 439 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: felt that, but I heard it, you know. I mean, 440 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: you can't not hear that. But at the same time, 441 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: when I was in Cabo and got traded to the Rams, 442 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't like, oh, let's go win the super Bowl 443 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: the first year, you know, it was like, hey man, 444 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy working with you, coach. Coach, I think 445 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna enjoy working with me. I can't wait to 446 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: get to work with these guys. And I knew we 447 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: had a good team, but so many things have to happen. 448 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the craziest thing that kind of 449 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: goes not unnoticed but kind of untalked about. Is I 450 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: mean von Miller O'Dell, you know, the whole year without 451 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: can then he comes back. I mean, there were so 452 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: many moving parts, guys that we hadn't Robert Woodstairs. I mean, 453 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: there's just so many moving parts that it wasn't this 454 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: storybook season where I got here and we sailed through 455 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: and we want every game by four touchdowns, you know. 456 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a lot of ups and downs, 457 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: like every Super Bhowl year. So we're no different than 458 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: a lot of other teams in that regard, I feel like. 459 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: But getting back to your question, I didn't feel that 460 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: because I knew there's more seasons than just that one. 461 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: But I definitely heard it because I know, uh, you know, 462 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: it was a storyline out there. Okay, now, but what 463 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: about the pressure to run it back? I mean, especially 464 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: if you look at the NFC and I feel like, 465 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, Chris and I cover it, everybody has gone 466 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: to the a f C. What kind of pressure is 467 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: that on you now, not just you know, Matthew, it's 468 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: only on you, but just to run it back, to 469 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: do this thing again. Yeah, I mean, I think the 470 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is I'm excited. Yea, you know, 471 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited to have that opportunity. There have been zero 472 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: times in my career that I've ever had the opportunity 473 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: to run it back because I ever want before, and 474 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: knowing what it feels like, it just makes me want 475 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: it that much more. You know, you get a little 476 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: bit of a taste of it, of what it's like 477 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: and how cool it is with a group of guys 478 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: that you go to work with every single day to 479 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: get that done. I also and not lost on so 480 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: many things have to go right, you know. I mean, 481 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't just because you got the best team on 482 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: paper in September, it doesn't mean you're gonna go win 483 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: at all. And it was lucky to be a part 484 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: of it and just pumped for the opportunity to try 485 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: and do it again. I wouldn't mind being in Arizona Stadium, 486 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, getting it done. You know, next February, let's 487 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: go down to the field for more. Aaron, Yeah, I'm 488 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: taking that guideline. Hey, I think this is crazy, and 489 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: we learned this about you. You have not sat back 490 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: and watched the Super Bowl? Yeah, unless you have done 491 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: it since week we watched the final few minutes of 492 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, which with you, which I told Crisa 493 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: was one of the coolest experiences hearing you kind of 494 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: narrate it and listening to Kelly go, oh, my gosh, 495 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: I didn't know that happened. So you haven't watched it yet. Yeah, 496 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: I still haven't really watched it. I was in Vegas 497 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: with Coope and with and it came on the miked 498 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: up like thirty minute version of the game basically where 499 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 1: they have everybody's deal, which is super cool. We all 500 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: kind of we're just kind of flipping through and we're like, oh, 501 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: that's on, and we just stopped and watched it. And 502 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: that was a cool moment getting to do that with 503 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: those guys and their wives and that group of people. 504 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: But as far as you know, front to back TV 505 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: copy all that kind of stuff, and I haven't. I 506 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: haven't peeked at it. I probably need to at some point, 507 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: so when people ask me certain things that were said 508 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: or happened, I'm I'm dialed. But it was I don't know. 509 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: It's just a world win after the game, which kind 510 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: of kept it moving. Do you go, no know, I 511 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: was just gonna ask when guys are Mike Depp. This 512 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: is totally off the subject and its time to talk. 513 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: You know some crap, don't you feel Do you ever 514 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: watch those mic deups when they come out and you know, 515 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: the guy knows he's got it on and he just 516 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: like lays it on thick. I mean, can you spot 517 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: those guys a mile away? It's like, dude, come on, 518 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: we got it. Yeah, there's some guys to take liberties 519 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: with that. I feel like they enjoy the opportunity to 520 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: have the voice, you know, spread all over um, you know, 521 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: doing all that kind of stuff. But sometimes you remember 522 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: you have it on early and then once the game starts, 523 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: it's just like you just go trying to say something 524 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: funny and uh in warm ups or something other than that, 525 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: you're done. Yeah. What I thought was funny is in 526 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: the postgame press conference. This is just it's just so 527 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: perfect because you're a father and a husband first before 528 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: a football player, and you're sitting there in the biggest 529 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: moment of your professional career, just winning a Super Bowl, 530 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: and you're answering questions. And I was a chandler, so 531 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: they were both on your lap and then hunting went 532 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: hunting behind and holding her and what I love the 533 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: most is you like, I don't think that's a good 534 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: idea or like you got it, like you said something 535 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: where it's like it's a perfect example of like you're 536 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: being the father and the husband but also answering questions. 537 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: And the picture of Kelly from behind was incredible. I 538 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: love Yeah, I mean it was. It was pretty funny. 539 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to concentrate, to be honest with you, 540 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: Like Kelly's down here barely holding on the hunter so 541 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: she doesn't fall off and uh, you know, hurt herself 542 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. And I know she's making faces at the 543 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: camera just because I know her and the two in 544 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: my lap we're asking a question. It was. It was 545 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of a whirlwind. Probably not my best 546 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: football answers at the moment, but the fun moment that 547 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: I will always remember, and that photo is that's gold. 548 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: The fact that they caught Kelly back there squatting down, 549 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: holding hunting on it was. It was fun. So I 550 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm a big, like you know, Monday 551 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: morning quarterback kind of person. So I tell you you're 552 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: gonna spend twelve years in Detroit. You're gonna have a 553 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: lot of seasons that aren't going to go the way 554 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: that you want to, but it's all going to culminate. 555 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: Move to l A and win a Super Bowl? Is 556 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: it worth the twelve years? Because I had so much 557 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: fun this past season and um something I'll never forget 558 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: the group of guys, the season, winning the super Bowl 559 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: and all that. But I'm not here at this point 560 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: without all that, you know, both like in the scenario 561 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: that you just put out there, but also just in life, 562 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: like I learned so much about dealing with failure, how 563 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: to motivate, how to play through things, all sorts of stuff, 564 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: you know, while I was in Detroit, and um, you know, 565 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: I grew out as a person and all that. So 566 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm the version of myself that I 567 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: am today without those twelve years. So it's a hundred 568 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: percent worth it. You win a super Bowl, your wife 569 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: wears the blazer. Do you think people will understand now 570 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: it's Matthew, not matt damn it. I mean, where does 571 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: this come from? I tell us the whole thing behind it. 572 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: We got a little intel to ask you this. Um yeah, 573 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm a I mean I'm Matthew to all my close friends, 574 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: to all my people that they were grown up with 575 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: my mom, my dad, and my sister. All that. I 576 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: think probably some probably Dallas Morning News writer in two 577 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: thousand and four talking about me as a high school kid, 578 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: probably got lazy. And when I feel Matt Stafford because 579 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: you don't have to do h g W. And I 580 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: also I defer too much more than my wife would 581 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: like when people go, hey, is it Matthew? You prefer 582 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: Matthew Matt And I go, oh, I don't care, it's whatever, 583 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: and she just gets so mad because she knows that 584 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: I do care. Um, But yeah, I mean we'll see, 585 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: there's still gonna see gonna be plenty of mats out there. 586 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty of people locked in on that 587 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: for life. And that's uh, that's okay. You know, we'll 588 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: get over it. Hey, speaking of Highland Park, how about 589 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: your high school, Scottie, what's going on down there? We 590 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: got a Masters, got a World Series champion, and we 591 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: got a Super Bowl champion coming out of Highland Park. 592 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: Things are going on down there. Yeah, something in the water. 593 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: I had a buddy text me to say, I mean, 594 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: the last fifteen year run of guys coming out there's 595 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty crazy. To get all those three things, 596 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: and Clayton's want all those cy youngs and Scotty. Scotty 597 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: actually want his first tournament. The Sunday we won the 598 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl. So that's gotta be like the most obscure 599 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: stat ever that some teamager people from the same high 600 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: school when you know, this, that, and the other all 601 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: the same day. So it's, uh, it's pretty cool. It 602 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me because there's a lot of great athletes 603 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: coming out of there. But I mean, you gotta takes 604 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: a lot of luck and a lot of hard work 605 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: to get to all three of us are. So do 606 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: you think you play golf and now having one Super Bowl, 607 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: do you think it would be harder to win a 608 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: Major or a super Bowl? Probably a Major, to be honest, 609 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: you because you can't really rely on anybody else. You know, 610 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: like there's you could be a really good hunter and 611 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: be on a really good team and win a super Bowl, um, 612 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, or be a part of a team that's 613 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're less integral part, but you're out there 614 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: hitting the golf ball by yourself. There's nobody else to 615 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: to lean on or to blame or anything. So you 616 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: I would imagine that's that's pretty darn tough. And also, 617 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: especially with the way golf is now so global, like 618 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: you're not beating only the best players from America to 619 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: beat the best players from around the world. There are 620 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: a few, I'm sure we're an NFL players, but not 621 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: as many, so they're having to go up against you know, 622 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: seven billion or whatever the number of people. It is nowadays. 623 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: Better weekend to be out with your buddies the Masters 624 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: or super Bowl weekend? One man, I got, Guys, I'm 625 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: here with the question. Super Bowl probably just less rules. Um. 626 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: Masters is a great time. We all know that. But 627 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, can't take your shell phone in there. Maybe 628 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more buttoned up. We're a super Bowl, 629 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 1: you could probably uh loosen it up a little bit. 630 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,959 Speaker 1: Um get lost lost in the fray. But I've been 631 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: to both. They're both equally fun. Wait, hold on, I 632 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: don't know how much time you have, but I have 633 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: to have the story since you brought up the Masters. Um, 634 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: you and Matt Ryan are close? How about him? Okay, 635 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: going to Indie? But you, guys, the last time I 636 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: saw you together, you were at the Masters. You were 637 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: speaking on a camper there and this didn't happen there. 638 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: But you and Matt Ryan were at a golf course 639 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: and someone asked you to do something, really share the story. 640 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: If you're not, Yeah, I need to make sure I 641 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: know all the details. I can get it right. I 642 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: have a friend that actually tells this story better. But yeah, 643 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: the reason I'll set the stage here so we are all. 644 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: We all love Larry David and like the awkwardness of 645 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: situation sations where you can't get out of You and 646 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan are you know, two of the nicest, have 647 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: the best reputation you know, in in your profession. Um, 648 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: so I can only imagine how awkward this was. And 649 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: if Larry was writing a script for it, it would 650 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: make perfect sense because you didn't know what to do 651 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: to get out of it. Yes, Matt and I were 652 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: playing golf. Someone we know kind of came up to 653 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: us and I asked if maybe we would sit down 654 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: and talk with his son or his I believe it 655 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: was his son that was a was a football player 656 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: and aspiring football player. UM wanted some advice, maybe some coaching, um, 657 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, And we did the very polite thing of absolutely, 658 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: we'll do that. Let's get our calendars together and get 659 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: those a line and we'll figure something out. You know. 660 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: It took a little bit of time. We saw him 661 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: maybe once or twice more without actually getting to see 662 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: his son. And so we're on the first team playing 663 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: together and this gentleman, super nice guy, cares about the people, 664 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: walked up and basically wrote Matt Ryan and I both 665 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: a check for a large sum of money to our charities. 666 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: On the first tea, shook our hands and we're like, 667 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: can't wait to get that, you know, time with my son. 668 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: I know he'll really appreciate it. And then we knew 669 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,479 Speaker 1: the clock was on, so we were like, Okay, now 670 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: this is a real thing. We gotta get this done. 671 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: It was a bold move by the gentleman and in question. 672 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: But so then we set up a time and we 673 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: showed up for the lunch. I believe it was to 674 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: kind of sit down and talk, and we got stood up, 675 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: which was just electric ending to a awkward story. Um, 676 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: it was pretty awesome, to be honest, and I think 677 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: if you give that, you know the nuts and bolts 678 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: of that. To to Larry David, there's got to be 679 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: a curved episode out there that happily guest star in 680 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: or appear in if you need somebody to play the 681 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: part of me. It's funny, it's ballsy to just go 682 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: up the charity check and then your guys are how 683 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: to go in because there's a charity involved, and you're 684 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: the assholes if you don't go and then you go. 685 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: The excavation is that the dude doesn't show up. It's phenomenal. 686 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: Did you guys cash the t No? Can't, I did not. 687 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: Can't turn down the money because now you're like, well, 688 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm hurting somebody on the back end of this thing. 689 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: Can't take the money and not show up. Just so many, 690 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: so many thoughts, so many emotions at that moment, but 691 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: the stand up was was a bold play. I love 692 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: him more for it, to be honest with you. Um 693 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: solid move move, Yeah, Hey, can I ask before we 694 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: let you go? Kelly talked about the Vanity Fair party 695 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: on her podcast. You had mentioned it was such a time, 696 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: I guess for you. I mean, people are star struck 697 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: when they meet you. Even that guy was star struck. 698 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: Apparently not. It didn't last long.

I think one of the coolest parts, 701 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, is that, like, I'm not 702 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: sure that Kelly and I have been I don't want 703 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: to come up the wrong way, but we haven't been 704 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: to like a party where we're all there to see 705 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: somebody else.

You represents something. You represent perseverance to 745 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Um, having your tenure in Detroit 746 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: and also just doing it the right way. You're synonymous 747 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: with you know, I know you didn't want to leave there. 748 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,479 Speaker 1: Um that was start. Didn't wanted to end your career, 749 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: but making that decision to move on. That said, what 750 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: advice do you have for people who are not having 751 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: the success that they want, whether it's in a job, 752 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: a relationship, anything, and then being able to come out 753 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: on the other side, the perseverance and the perspective that 754 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: you have now being able to look back. I think 755 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me is just, um, 756 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: the only way I got through that. For all, there's 757 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: a few things like I got to rely on so 758 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: many good teammates around me. And that's not even for 759 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: the stuff that happened on the field, but just in 760 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: the locker room talking about you know, because everybody's going 761 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: through it. It's a team game, you know, And there's 762 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: plenty of times where certain guys on our team are 763 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: having good individual seasons, but we're not winning games or 764 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: whatever that is. And I got to rely on that. 765 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: So surround yourself with good people if you can't in um, 766 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: you know what I think for me as well, just 767 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, there were times where we weren't winning. I 768 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: felt like I was, you know, playing good, good football 769 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: or decent football, and just being able to trust that 770 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: process and know that if you're doing everything that you 771 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: possibly can, that that's enough, you know, and it may 772 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: not be in the eyes of some other people, but um, 773 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: your time will come. You just gotta keep working for it. 774 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: You know. Those are the two things that kind of 775 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: stick out to me. And then you know, I have 776 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: great perspective getting my twelve years in Detroit and and 777 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: getting to you know, where we are now. But I 778 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: also have a wife who has pretty unbelievable perspective when 779 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: it comes to that too, you know, on her battle 780 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: and through what she battled through.
