Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Busting with the Boys.
Speaker 1: I'm your host Will Compton, the boy Taylor my co host.
Speaker 1: He is in the midst of training camp right now.
Speaker 1: You are listening to me right now, I am talking
Speaker 1: on this intro on Monday, August.
Speaker 2: What is it August first?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fucking crazy that Joe like, we're we're in
Speaker 1: the August Boys, We're in the August territory, their first
Speaker 1: day at pads. I'm sure that he just brutal out there,
Speaker 1: shout out to those boys for grinding. I'm so glad
Speaker 1: I'm not in that training campete right now or and
Speaker 1: I won't be. I've actually missed if you guys think
Speaker 1: about it, I have. Obviously this year is like different.
Speaker 1: I can claim this year, I guess, but if we
Speaker 1: include this year, i'ven't been to like the last four
Speaker 1: training camps the finesse king time will tell if I
Speaker 1: finessed this finesse, this training camp and going to going
Speaker 1: to a season.
Speaker 2: At some point.
Speaker 1: Before we get started, we got a shout out the
Speaker 1: greatest truck on the road, the Chevy Silverado. Can you
Speaker 1: blow that up for me a little bit? Jack, If
Speaker 1: you're looking to make a summer story a strong one.
Speaker 1: The Chevy Silverado can take you there and that story
Speaker 1: will start as soon as you take the wheel. The
Speaker 1: Silverado ZR Two was built to tame the trails as
Speaker 1: the most off road ready Silverado ever created. Boys, and
Speaker 1: there are eight more Silverado models to choose from to
Speaker 1: make sure one fits your life. My personal life is
Speaker 1: the high Country. I got it down at Freeland Chevrolet
Speaker 1: the best in the business in the Greater Nashville area.
Speaker 1: The Silverado provides the strength and Chevy truck capability to
Speaker 1: handle whatever comes next. With the Silverado, you have everything
Speaker 1: you need to not only write your own summer story,
Speaker 1: but also make it an unforgettably epic. One Chevy truck,
Speaker 1: the Chevy truck grit hang on no, hang on, hang
Speaker 1: on no, Boys, Chevy truck grits and smarts to make
Speaker 1: you unstoppable. Talk about how gritty and smart to Chevy Solado.
Speaker 1: I agree, Maybe next time I read ahead and we
Speaker 1: can reward that one a little bit, because I think
Speaker 1: we can make the whole gritty and smart's part a
Speaker 1: lot better.
Speaker 2: Take.
Speaker 1: Come into your summer with the beautiful Chevy Silverado. Go
Speaker 1: to Chevy dot com to learn more about the Chevy Soverado.
Speaker 1: The technology on websites these days, boys, you're practically sitting
Speaker 1: in You're practically sitting in the vehicle when you're online.
Speaker 1: So go to Chevy dot com to learn more about
Speaker 1: the Chevy Sovado. And if you live in Nashville or
Speaker 1: a little outside, let's say it within a two hour
Speaker 1: radius of Nashville, Nashville, get your ass to freelan Chevy
Speaker 1: because they're the best in class in Tennessee.
Speaker 2: All right, what do we have? Boys?
Speaker 1: A lot to break down? I want to SummerSlam over
Speaker 1: the weekend. That was insane. I went with the boy
Speaker 1: Mike Chandler, not the Flex because we're friends, but's also flex.
Speaker 1: We might be looking at a fight in November. I
Speaker 1: don't think it should be my news to break if
Speaker 1: there isn't news yet, but we could potentd be looking
Speaker 1: at a fight in November. Potentially. There's nothing that's set
Speaker 1: in stone. Jp R analysts are UFC analysts. Is there
Speaker 1: something that's set in stone? Or is this all just
Speaker 1: hearsay right now?
Speaker 2: Just hearsay right now? But what do you think is
Speaker 2: gonna happen?
Speaker 3: I believe I have not spoken with Michael Tandler or
Speaker 3: me or will I am. According to my sources, we
Speaker 3: will be seeing Michael Chandler versus Dustin Foier.
Speaker 2: Okay, and maybe November we'll have a zero reaction to that.
Speaker 2: We talk after the show.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: But went to Summer Slam, dude.
Speaker 1: That was an awesome experience going to the ww that
Speaker 1: was my first one ever.
Speaker 2: I've never been to any of this this stuff.
Speaker 1: I've been to like a I've been to like in
Speaker 1: sue Llard in Saint Louis, Missouri. I went to like
Speaker 1: one of those wrestling nights where there's like, yeah, the
Speaker 1: N word, are we allowed to say the N word?
Speaker 1: Lee Corso did say he not so fast midget. Oh
Speaker 1: that's just me nervous laughing right there. But yeah, where
Speaker 1: they have the wrestling event like inside of like a cafeteria.
Speaker 2: But other than that, I've never been to.
Speaker 1: Like ad WCWWWF WWE, none of it, dude, And that
Speaker 1: was electric. Bro Watching McAfee perform. I mean, he's got
Speaker 1: like three moves, but I love all of them. The
Speaker 1: backflip off the top, does the slow front flip onto somebody,
Speaker 1: the sporadic punching. That's another move of his, but it
Speaker 1: was electric Logan. Paul Logan, Paul is going to be
Speaker 1: a WW superstar, like he legit might be the Yeah
Speaker 1: he's an athlete, he legit might be the world the
Speaker 1: world champion one day. It's interesting too because I started
Speaker 1: following Logan like back in his Vine days, Like he
Speaker 1: was one of the first people that got thrusted into Vine.
Speaker 1: And apparently he was really good in high school football
Speaker 1: and wrestling, like very competitive.
Speaker 2: I think they grew up.
Speaker 1: They grew up in Ohio, right, Yeah, so like a
Speaker 1: state that's all about wrestling in fucking football, and Logan
Speaker 1: was apparently really good in that stuff. And I didn't
Speaker 1: know much more outside of like him him claiming or
Speaker 1: stuff like that happening on Vine it times. But you
Speaker 1: can tell like he was a good athlete back in
Speaker 1: the day. I mean the dudes like the frog splash
Speaker 1: off the top buckle it onto a table landing that right,
Speaker 1: Like it's crazy watching them everybody kind of like perform
Speaker 1: and put on that kind of show.
Speaker 2: Uh, But that was that was that was cool.
Speaker 1: It was cool in Nissan Stadium, ended up finassing my
Speaker 1: way to the front row.
Speaker 2: Started off, started off far away.
Speaker 1: We were I mean, I feel like it's a flex
Speaker 1: saying I was in a suite, but it wasn't that
Speaker 1: great of an experience in the suite, Like you're very
Speaker 1: far away, You're trying to watch the TV and it's
Speaker 1: kind of like the timing is off with it. End
Speaker 1: up finessing getting all the way down to the front row.
Speaker 2: That was.
Speaker 1: That was insane. Yeah, I would go to more. I
Speaker 1: would go to more. Well, what else Taylor going ghost
Speaker 1: on social media? Obviously training campus started. The boy I
Speaker 1: felt like was very quick to say his farewell on
Speaker 1: social media, like we got a month of the season,
Speaker 1: big dog, it's you know. But I've spoken with him,
Speaker 1: he said, the first forty eight hours, obviously you had
Speaker 1: some withdrawals. He wanted to really get back on. There's
Speaker 1: itching to get on the apps. But after that, he
Speaker 1: says he's been in a very good rhythm. He's been
Speaker 1: very efficient with his days. Wakes up his words, wakes
Speaker 1: up every day five thirty in the morning, gets over
Speaker 1: and gets his workout in before practice, and all that
Speaker 1: starts before meetings start, so he doesn't have to lift
Speaker 1: after practice.
Speaker 2: I mean that is a.
Speaker 1: Very good veteran move because you hate having the workout
Speaker 1: after practice because your legs are shot, you're tired, you're sweating,
Speaker 1: you don't want to change from your cleats to your shoes,
Speaker 1: and then go back in there and work out absolutely brutal.
Speaker 1: And then he says he's in bed, like in bed
Speaker 1: by eight o'clock, which sounds like love in the training
Speaker 1: camp world, because if you're back at the hotel or
Speaker 1: you're back chilling at like seven thirty or seven, that's
Speaker 1: a nice training camp day. I know Rabel's first year, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I didn't really do training camp the second time
Speaker 1: I was here. The first year I was here, we
Speaker 1: didn't get out of training camp until like eight thirty.
Speaker 1: And I know some teams out there will keep you
Speaker 1: until like a thirty nine o'clock. I know with Washington,
Speaker 1: we would go first meeting would be at like seven
Speaker 1: in the morning or seven thirty in the morning, and
Speaker 1: then our last meeting wouldn't end until like nine thirty,
Speaker 1: nine thirty with snack time because we're in like the
Speaker 1: we're in like a hotel, we're like off site from
Speaker 1: the facility.
Speaker 2: But bro that entire day, like you would have a.
Speaker 1: Good like lunch break, you'd have like two hours once
Speaker 1: you got back to the hotel to.
Speaker 2: Kind of like eat.
Speaker 1: You would the move would be eat fast, or take
Speaker 1: your food upstairs, get in the Norman tech sleeves, those
Speaker 1: lakes leaves, those compression those compression recovery lake system deals,
Speaker 1: and uh, you would try to eat as fasts you can,
Speaker 1: and then you try and like fall asleep for like
Speaker 1: an hour. But if you're back, what's up? Uh is
Speaker 1: it two weeks or some more? It's it's up until
Speaker 1: like the third preseason game. Once you hit like the
Speaker 1: third preseason game is when you're kind of home free.
Speaker 1: That's where you would break camp and then we'd make
Speaker 1: our way back to ashburn. I feels in Washington, Tennessee's
Speaker 1: obviously they have everything like at their facility. They stay
Speaker 1: in like a hotel down the road.
Speaker 2: But yeah, dude, he's apparently been okay.
Speaker 1: He says it's going by fast because he doesn't have
Speaker 1: the phone to fucking distract him, which I think is
Speaker 1: an awesome thing.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just ready to see the boys play
Speaker 2: this season.
Speaker 1: And once Spootober hits, you know, the boy's gonna have
Speaker 1: a little bit of FOMO. The good news is for
Speaker 1: everybody that's listening, Taylor is going to be joined and
Speaker 1: busting with the boys every week on Mondays. I believe
Speaker 1: during the season to do the intro with us, to
Speaker 1: shout out no free shoutouts, to tear talk, having a
Speaker 1: good time, taking a little you know, I guess break
Speaker 1: from being twenty four to seven ball. However, he will
Speaker 1: say off social media the entire year. I think that's
Speaker 1: a big win that the boy will be on the bus,
Speaker 1: so everybody will get to still see the boy on
Speaker 1: the bus. Uh dude, big news coming out of Busting
Speaker 1: Busting HQ. It is currently Wednesday, tomorrow. The boys are
Speaker 1: traveling to Green Bay's training camp. This will be our
Speaker 1: first training camp busting Hard knocks boots on the ground.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be interviewing Lafleur, hopefully Baktyari, twelve Man. We're
Speaker 1: trying to get that interview with twelve. We're trying to
Speaker 1: get that interview with Aaron Rodgers. Obviously Rob Tanyan, this
Speaker 1: is his episode, so we did him right before, uh,
Speaker 1: right before he left for training camp here in Nashville.
Speaker 1: Then may be prest Smith. If we get prest Smith
Speaker 1: on Yeah, yeah, yeah about the task. Talked about the
Speaker 1: tat catch up on us since we play together in Washington.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think we'll have a huge episode of Lafleur.
Speaker 1: But however, our first training camp some of the boys
Speaker 1: or going to training camp next year. I think that
Speaker 1: just kind of sets up like a training camp, some
Speaker 1: type of training camp. Name whether it's if we get
Speaker 1: Pisachi on, I just don't know. For he'll come on.
Speaker 1: Here's what's gonna happen, guys, if we get Pisachi on,
Speaker 1: I'm calling it now. He's gonna step on, He's gonna
Speaker 1: call me Johnny Carson. This is your fucking radio show, Like,
Speaker 1: what the where the fuck am I? He's just gonna
Speaker 1: talk shit and his go to moves are gonna be
Speaker 1: the radio show and Johnny Carson. So I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: I'm just calling it now.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: Not a bad compliment at all, but just shows that
Speaker 1: he's old, he's long in the tooth. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: he's gonna repeat his jokes because those are those are
Speaker 1: those are his jokes when he whenever if he were
Speaker 1: to text me or whenever I was on the Raiders,
Speaker 1: last year, but going to Green Bay. We're fucking stoked
Speaker 1: about it. Maybe the boys, maybe we'll pop up at
Speaker 1: Titans training camp later on in the month. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: hit a rave and see if we can shake something.
Speaker 1: Because then you you kind of have the concept of
Speaker 1: going to training camp with Green Bay. Now you take
Speaker 1: this concept and then try to rinse and repeat with whether.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have connects and Titans Atlanta. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we could get in Washington if we wanted to go
Speaker 1: to Washington, but Washington would be kind of tough because
Speaker 1: that's not they're not you have to That's a huge travel.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of travel right there in a short
Speaker 1: period of time. Like we're already in August fall, our
Speaker 1: fall schedule that's coming, that's coming out.
Speaker 2: I alluded to it a couple of days ago or.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend that we have, we're going to four college,
Speaker 1: college stadiums, college campuses. We're gonna host five Titans tailgates
Speaker 1: because obviously we're always for the boys. We started right

Speaker 1: AC and your Chevy Silverado, that is what is on
Speaker 1: your arm pits. It is a nice uh what is

Speaker 2: That's fucking good, bro.
Speaker 1: That one fired me up because you're right, like especially
Speaker 1: when you have a hard leg day, it's in the
Speaker 1: middle of that leg day, you're ready to fucking kill yourself.
Speaker 2: What am I doing right now? But let me just
Speaker 2: push through these this last set, these last two sets.
Speaker 1: And when you do and you're right whenever you're driving
Speaker 1: home and you're kind of your legs are shaking like
Speaker 1: a dog shined piecies like you're fucking like ready to go.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Jp you can barely hold
Speaker 1: yourself up a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was I've never heard that before. That was
Speaker 2: good though, shut out my dad, all right.
Speaker 3: My shout out, no free shoutout of the week goes
Speaker 3: to when you're turning left at a red light. All right,
Speaker 3: I guess it's a green light about to turn red whatever,
Speaker 3: and somebody's somebody is crossing the street and you're waiting
Speaker 3: for them, and then they look up and they see you,
Speaker 3: and they give you a light. Jog to get further across,
Speaker 3: to speed it up across the crosswalks, he can go to.
Speaker 3: My shoutout goes to those people that jog across the crosswalks.
Speaker 3: I am one of those people, and it bothers me
Speaker 3: when I'm with people and I jog and they don't
Speaker 3: jog with me. I'm like, yeah, I show some respect,

Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 1: I have another free shot out that I thought about doing.
Speaker 1: I'll save it just because we got to get into this.
Speaker 2: Uh. Rob Tonyan episode. The Rob Tonyan episode was great. Rob.
Speaker 1: He's a friend of the show, he's a boy, he's
Speaker 1: all time. We had him on last year with myself
Speaker 1: and George Kittle. That episode was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about the mental side. George and
Speaker 1: Rob are very much in tune with like awareness of
Speaker 1: the mental side, mental performance, getting being optimal every day.
Speaker 1: Rob went through a year last year not having the
Speaker 1: most receptions in the world. To start off the year,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of articles being written about US production.
Speaker 1: He starts to uptick and then he tears his ACL
Speaker 1: and as we all know, following Taylor along his ACL journey,
Speaker 1: that can bring you to like new lows because you're
Speaker 1: like in it, You're you kind of feel alienated from
Speaker 1: the team.
Speaker 2: You're rehabbing on your own all the time. You have
Speaker 2: a lot of ebbs and flows.
Speaker 1: Blossy, who's torn his knee, can probably talk and attest
Speaker 1: to that as well, working through the rehab of that
Speaker 1: whole thing, and so he talks a lot about his
Speaker 1: mental journey, struggles, successes with tearing, his acl his new
Speaker 1: perspective on thinking, Like what was he talking about, Like
Speaker 1: he's glad it happened because it kind of he was
Speaker 1: able to step back and kind of look at it
Speaker 1: from like a zoomed out lens. He talks a lot
Speaker 1: about how that that mental side went into He was
Speaker 1: a restricted free agent last year who went into a
Speaker 1: contract year, so that obviously sucks for anybody going through
Speaker 1: an injury going into their contract year. So he talks
Speaker 1: a little bit about the negotiation side with the Packers.
Speaker 1: He talks about getting over the humping Green Bay like
Speaker 1: things that he saw from a different lens, being somebody
Speaker 1: who is out on ir seeing the boys sing the
Speaker 1: locker room every day, seeing the boys going into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: From it, it's like a different perspective when you're injured
Speaker 1: and looking at it from the outside and you're not
Speaker 1: in it. You're not in the box anymore of that grind.
Speaker 1: So he talks about what he thinks there. We have
Speaker 1: some fun with Aaron Rodgers' new tattoo. Our tear talk
Speaker 1: is Sandwiches phenomenal tear talk that I think you guys
Speaker 1: will enjoy and I will. I do want to say, Jack,
Speaker 1: you were shouting out that local spot earlier, but I
Speaker 1: want to I want to say, if I did it again,
Speaker 1: Penn Station would make its way in. I've had pen
Speaker 1: Station twice. Now there's one over in like the Bellevue
Speaker 1: area of town, and Penn Station is fire. I've only
Speaker 1: had it twice, so I won't go into like claiming
Speaker 1: it there, but I would definitely. Now that I've had it,
Speaker 1: I have a new respect for Penn Station, so so
Speaker 1: pat shut out Penn Station though free shoutouts. Now enjoy
Speaker 1: the episode with robbed Tonyon from the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: Big hugs, tiny kisses. Are you excited to be back
Speaker 1: on the bus. I'm so excited. Why are you all
Speaker 1: of a sudden talking a little bit comber and quieter.
Speaker 1: You're just kind of fired out with the vice before
Speaker 1: we started the pot And.
Speaker 8: Now I gotta lock in because now I'm thinking about
Speaker 8: the sandwiches because I haven't even you got.
Speaker 1: Time that we'll bring it back up in it. But
Speaker 1: I'm really to where it's like a conversation. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 1: but I'm really thinking now because I don't know, the
Speaker 1: good thing Jack does is Jack in the back. He
Speaker 1: will pull up all the night. He will pull up
Speaker 1: the national chain so we'll be able to see him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you won't just have to think. You won't just have
Speaker 1: to go off the top. Yeah, Jack from the back legs.
Speaker 1: I just learned about that when I moved here.
Speaker 2: Bro, I'm telling you, people are spreading the good word.
Speaker 2: I know, ten station two, Okay, I'm back.
Speaker 1: All right, Well let's get into like let's talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, all the good stuff that's catching up with you, Like,
Speaker 1: what's new with you?
Speaker 2: You just to you tore your acl How's everything going?
Speaker 2: How you feeling?
Speaker 8: He said, let's talk about everything good, no rehab. So
Speaker 8: I'm about eight months out, Yeah, from surgery. I feel great.
Speaker 2: Do you feel great?
Speaker 8: Like I actually feel like great, Like.
Speaker 2: Like you hear all the horror stories and you're thinking.
Speaker 8: Honestly, you know, you hear the Adrian Peterson story and
Speaker 8: then you hear like what he like, what the problems
Speaker 8: were after that? Like he had the great season, but
Speaker 8: after that he had like multiple surgeries. You know, the
Speaker 8: career kind of died out from there because you know,
Speaker 8: he went for the rushing title and stuff like that.
Speaker 8: And then like you said, you hear the horror stories,
Speaker 8: so you hear both. But for me, it was honestly
Speaker 8: just sticking with my process and worrying about like me
Speaker 8: and bettering myself physically, mentally, spiritually all that, and it
Speaker 8: kind of helped me on and off the field, like
Speaker 8: with everything across the board, like truly like becoming like
Speaker 8: not only a better football player from it, but like
Speaker 8: a better man. Like I got to step back from
Speaker 8: football like during this time, uh kind of just see
Speaker 8: how my value was missed at certain aspects and like
Speaker 8: where I could be better at and on and off
Speaker 8: the field, Like I'll keep probably saying that because I
Speaker 8: really got to I masked a lot of things with football,
Speaker 8: Like I was really like hurting in a lot of
Speaker 8: areas mentally and whatever. But like to talk about I mean,
Speaker 8: just like you know, off the field, just you know,
Speaker 8: like internally, like you know, you think you're you're a
Speaker 8: lot more you know, worthy of certain things than you
Speaker 8: are at the time, but like everything comes with like
Speaker 8: divine timing, and I truly believe in that, like you know,
Speaker 8: whether it's a contract or stats or you know, you know,
Speaker 8: a marriage or whatever you think it is like a
Speaker 8: big house, you know, whatever you think anyone's goals are
Speaker 8: or you know, your imagination and like desires, like everything
Speaker 8: is gonna come with divine time and if you just
Speaker 8: like worry about the now in the present, And it
Speaker 8: really made me present in which like I don't even
Speaker 8: know how to explain it, but I really got to
Speaker 8: just take football out of the equation for a little bit, yeah,
Speaker 8: and really just live a life where I had to face.
Speaker 2: Out of football reality. And I feel like that's what
Speaker 2: I needed.
Speaker 8: And now I didn't At the time, You're like, yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, why is this happening whatever, But it really
Speaker 8: took me like a shorter than I expected to realize
Speaker 8: that this is for a reason. You got to see
Speaker 8: a lot of things happen with football, like you know,
Speaker 8: DeVante leaving. You got to see you know, our defensive
Speaker 8: guys get paid, and it's like it's just not my
Speaker 8: time yet. You know, if I keep, you know, worrying
Speaker 8: about me bettering myself on the field off the field,
Speaker 8: that stuff's gonna come.
Speaker 2: And I just didn't.
Speaker 8: I was getting ahead of myself a little bit, and
Speaker 8: I did such a good job in twenty twenty with
Speaker 8: living in the present, had great season whatever, and then
Speaker 8: you get into twenty twenty one, and you know, maybe
Speaker 8: I was a little ahead of myself now that I
Speaker 8: look back on it, but I really believe that everything
Speaker 8: truly happens for a reason, and something's so simple for me,
Speaker 8: Like it wasn't like a gruesome like you know, it
Speaker 8: was just a plain acl and I just got to
Speaker 8: really just you know, it is like a you know,
Speaker 8: a season ending, but you know you come back stronger
Speaker 8: from it, like across the board, like I said, mentally, physically, spiritually.
Speaker 2: The rest of your body's getting healed up too.
Speaker 8: Right, And I, like I said, I got to really
Speaker 8: just take football out of the equation and just start
Speaker 8: from like ground zero.
Speaker 1: So correct me if I'm wrong. But like, listen to
Speaker 1: you and you talk about like getting ahead of yourself.
Speaker 1: Obviously you came out of twenty twenty you're like we
Speaker 1: were obviously last year we're talking about you being a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl snub, Like you had a hell of a
Speaker 1: year and you're going to twenty twenty one. You signed
Speaker 1: a restricted you were a restricted free agent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you get signed to a one year tender.
Speaker 1: So an athlete. It's a hungry athlete competitor's mind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like it's bag year, it's contract here and everything else. Right,
Speaker 1: you get to where you tear your knee and everything else.
Speaker 1: It seems like, uh, you get when you talked about
Speaker 1: Davante and then guys on the defense getting paid, it
Speaker 1: seems like as all of us do, every athlete, we
Speaker 1: all do this.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You sit there and you get caught up comparing yourself
Speaker 1: to everybody else, like life, looking at everybody else's pocket,
Speaker 1: to where you're like, this is what's gonna be. This
Speaker 1: was supposed to be my ear, to where you kind
Speaker 1: of get angry. Yeah, so you were kind of saying
Speaker 1: that that process didn't last really long for you to
Speaker 1: kind of check yourself in your life.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 8: It wasn't more so like quote unquote like pocket watching
Speaker 8: for me. It was more so like, you know, I
Speaker 8: come and I had a great season twenty twenty. You know,
Speaker 8: twelve touchdowns lead the league.
Speaker 1: You know, you like to you like seeing as the
Speaker 1: dude who has a shitload of fun on the field.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I was, But then like I wasn't at
Speaker 8: the beginning of the year because you know, like you know,
Speaker 8: our tackles were down. You know, I'm doing a lot
Speaker 8: of blocking and chipping, which is fine, you know, that's football,
Speaker 8: but you know, like I'm I wasn't being you know,
Speaker 8: you how I was the last year and you know,
Speaker 8: we're winning games, so I don't care, like, you know,
Speaker 8: like my ego wasn't hurting, you know, via that it
Speaker 8: was more so I'm like, you know, all these guys
Speaker 8: are keep like progressing, and then like you know, my
Speaker 8: quote unquote like production on the you know field wasn't there,
Speaker 8: but like I'm becoming a better block and becoming a
Speaker 8: better football player. But then you hear like outside noises
Speaker 8: like oh, he's like going down, He's going down. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and then you know, and then I hit like a
Speaker 8: three game stretch like before my injury where I started
Speaker 8: taking off again. I'm like, oh, hell yeah, like I'm
Speaker 8: really turning up right now right, And then that happened.
Speaker 8: So that's why I was like more like damn, I
Speaker 8: was just hitting, like I was just getting over that
Speaker 8: like pump of like down on myself, and then I
Speaker 8: started going and then I like hit another thing. So
Speaker 8: that's why I was like I feel like I was
Speaker 8: just getting a little ahead of myself. But then it
Speaker 8: just reminded me that I really have to just do
Speaker 8: this for myself. You know, you're not gonna like the
Speaker 8: validation from an outside external source is so like fake.
Speaker 8: You know, I score, I led the league or tiede
Speaker 8: trave with you know, eleven twelve touchdowns twenty twenty. You
Speaker 8: know they're gonna rate me the nineteenth best tight end
Speaker 8: so like for a walk, right yeah, And that's what
Speaker 8: I'm saying, is like you can't do stuff for external
Speaker 8: sources or proving external people wrong. It's like I'm just
Speaker 8: gonna continue to focus on me, my growth, my process,
Speaker 8: and take care of my family.
Speaker 2: Right because that's all to me what I want to do.
Speaker 8: I don't want to be a superstar, Like I can't
Speaker 8: go out because like there's cameras all on me, Like
Speaker 8: that's not the life I want to live.
Speaker 2: I really just want to Like.
Speaker 8: Do I want to be that type of person on
Speaker 8: the field, Hell yeah, But like also I just want
Speaker 8: to take care of my family and live that type
Speaker 8: of life and just.
Speaker 1: Be like isn't it hard to not get caught up
Speaker 1: in some of that though? When it is when you
Speaker 1: had external you see articles, and then when you get
Speaker 1: in the season, it's like when you're in the off season,
Speaker 1: you realize, like you.
Speaker 2: Whether you're take a vacation.
Speaker 1: Right after the season, you get back in your process
Speaker 1: of training and you look back at the season, you
Speaker 1: realize how small things were, but how big they were
Speaker 1: in your mind at the time because they're in football season. Conscious, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the NFL is like the hottest show on TV for
Speaker 1: an extended period of time.
Speaker 2: Like the NFL is everything to some people.
Speaker 1: So it's and then when you're like you're playing well
Speaker 1: and whether or not you're looking for articles on yourself
Speaker 1: or whatnot, Like it's hard to not see a lot
Speaker 1: of things, especially being on social media. You might not
Speaker 1: even be looking for it, but you'll be tagged in
Speaker 1: some bullshit or just tagged and stuff, and you might
Speaker 1: go down a wormhole for a second. But it's hard
Speaker 1: not to get caught up sometimes in that fast lane.
Speaker 8: That's just like everyone has an ego, like everyone you
Speaker 8: you know, you can even if someone's like not an
Speaker 8: egotistical person or not ego driven, like everyone has an ego,
Speaker 8: And sometimes it's just subconsciously getting hit and you don't
Speaker 8: even know until like there's like an out like an
Speaker 8: outburst or something like big dramatic happens. But yeah, I
Speaker 8: agree with you when you say that, like things just
Speaker 8: come to you and that comes with the job though,
Speaker 8: Like like NFL football player, like you're constantly like every Sunday,
Speaker 8: it's that's everything to everyone, Like yeah, ninety percent of
Speaker 8: the people are watching football on Sundays, right, I mean.
Speaker 2: Our lives are revolved around us.
Speaker 8: Right, you know what I mean, like fantasy football, Like
Speaker 8: you know, like you're saying like you don't want to
Speaker 8: come across people, but it's like you like it's funny
Speaker 8: because you know, you get like those tweets that you're
Speaker 8: like you suck one catch for five yards. It's like, dude,
Speaker 8: I ran three routes and Devonte had twenty two catches
Speaker 8: for two hundred yards and four touchdowns, like and we won.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I don't care.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be one of those guys on his Twitter
Speaker 1: this year like come on, man, one catch five yards? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but go ahead and finish. Gohe finish because I just thought.
Speaker 2: I just think.
Speaker 8: Overall, like last season, like I truly like grew so
Speaker 8: much and like I'm thankful that that happened. I truly am,
Speaker 8: because if I go the whole season being healthy and
Speaker 8: all that happens, and I'm up for a big contract,
Speaker 8: am I even in Green Bay, you never know, And
Speaker 8: like with a good quarterback a great defense, like those
Speaker 8: are the things that like I want on a team,
Speaker 8: like in a super Bowl team, like you have a
Speaker 8: one of the best, if not the best quarterback of
Speaker 8: all time as your quarterback, and we have a bunch
Speaker 8: of people coming back on defense and then some and
Speaker 8: then we don't have a number one receiver anymore.
Speaker 2: Like that's what I want.
Speaker 8: That's the pressure I want to put on myself because
Speaker 8: I want to be that guy. And I grew so
Speaker 8: much and like even mentally, like I'm not scared to
Speaker 8: come back, like I'm almost and I'm not like over
Speaker 8: eager to come back. I'm just like smiling internally because
Speaker 8: I'm like, you know, some people forgot.
Speaker 2: Talk too about I mean, but and not even in
Speaker 2: when he said that I didn't know what he was
Speaker 2: gonna say.
Speaker 8: And not even in like a you know, That's why
Speaker 8: I don't like come like, I don't like talk like
Speaker 8: off field, I don't do social media as much like
Speaker 8: I don't like like this is all I Like, I'll
Speaker 8: come on and like hang with you guys and do
Speaker 8: all this stuff. But I'm not gonna come on and
Speaker 8: like talk this that because that's not who I'm about.
Speaker 8: Like I really just like go on the field, like
Speaker 8: you said, like I have fun on the field and
Speaker 8: don't talk shit off the field. I'll like talk shit
Speaker 8: on the field and have fun because that's like the
Speaker 8: whole point of a competitive nature. Like right, Like I'm
Speaker 8: super competitive. I love having a good time. Like shit
Speaker 8: talking back and forth is not personal. That's like part
Speaker 8: of the game, right, And that's why I know a
Speaker 8: lot of these guys off the field and it's not
Speaker 8: like a like a buddy buddy thing, but like on
Speaker 8: the field, like people are really trying to feed their
Speaker 8: kids and you know, put a roof over people's heads
Speaker 8: like this is all they have, Like all my marbles
Speaker 8: are in this basket, Like this is what I have,
Speaker 8: Like this is how I want to take care of
Speaker 8: my family, my future family, like generations, Like I'm putting
Speaker 8: all my marbles into this so for me, like I'm
Speaker 8: gonna have like the best time doing it, like on
Speaker 8: the field, and just like take care of business off
Speaker 8: the field, like quietly and to myself, but like on
Speaker 8: the field, like I'm definitely gonna show I'm having a
Speaker 8: good time. This is like I always laugh because like
Speaker 8: when I score a touchdown or like I'm wilding on
Speaker 8: the field. The first thing I think about is like
Speaker 8: all my high school boys watching, oh for real, yeah,
Speaker 8: like they're like you know, like even in college, like
Speaker 8: they were like, you know, what are you gonna do
Speaker 8: in the end zone. I'm like, you tell me, Like
Speaker 8: you guys are watching like this is this is USA,
Speaker 8: and it's fun because like I'm really like out there,
Speaker 8: like like not only for myself, like you know, wilding
Speaker 8: for the boys, but uh like yeah, for the family,
Speaker 8: like like my mom is like laughing and stuff, like
Speaker 8: my dad's you know, so proud.
Speaker 2: Like enjoy playing the game, I really do, but enjoy
Speaker 2: the fact that you get to like this is yeah.
Speaker 8: And I don't even like the like I don't like
Speaker 8: the like when people say like this guy plays for
Speaker 8: this reason, Like I really just enjoy playing for my
Speaker 8: family's experience too, Like my dad, like this dude's a
Speaker 8: you know, a sports fan growing up, has lived on
Speaker 8: the same street his whole life. He brought you know,
Speaker 8: a house two houses up from his parents, and that's
Speaker 8: the house I grew up in. Like he's gone to
Speaker 8: the same job since he's been sixteen years old, like
Speaker 8: the company, Like he's been grinding, you know for forty
Speaker 8: fifty years at the same wake up five point thirty,
Speaker 8: go to work, come right back, like the same path,
Speaker 8: and for me to be able to be a spark
Speaker 8: or like a different light or like a getaway for him,
Speaker 8: like he can just come up and go to all
Speaker 8: my games. He like doesn't miss games cause like but
Speaker 8: that's just like I'm trying not work him. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 8: not trying to outwork anyone in the league. I know
Speaker 8: everyone's working hard, but no one's working hard like I
Speaker 8: know really who's working hard. And that's like my dad.
Speaker 8: I'm really trying to out work that man and make
Speaker 8: like him believe like like that dude works. Like I'm
Speaker 8: really trying to outwork my dad more than anything, because
Speaker 8: he's done the same thing every day, one way, come
Speaker 8: right back, the same.
Speaker 2: Street, wake up. He's well, he's literally has woke up.
Speaker 8: On the same street his whole life and gone to
Speaker 8: the same business, same same shop and come right back home,
Speaker 8: same time every day for fifty something years.
Speaker 1: What a legend, dude. We need to get those hoodies.
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, thanks for the reminder. I do
Speaker 1: want to ask, like I really enjoy your perspective everybody
Speaker 1: who listened to the first episode and for everybody tune
Speaker 1: in and go listen to George kittle ropt on you.
Speaker 2: Last year.
Speaker 1: We said on the bus you have a You're definitely
Speaker 1: somebody who like works on your mental side a lot.
Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna start with this question because I
Speaker 1: want to come back to the to uh like that
Speaker 1: mental side of working in our stuff and developing and
Speaker 1: you you you're thankful for what happened this past year,
Speaker 1: and I kind of want to talk about how you
Speaker 1: were speaking on last year's pod, But what I wanted
Speaker 1: to say is like I really enjoy listening to your
Speaker 1: perspective on it all.
Speaker 2: Like you kind of zoom out and take like a
Speaker 2: zoomed out approach.
Speaker 1: When things do happen to you or why you do it,
Speaker 1: and talk about your dad and your friends and the
Speaker 1: fun you have, but you can also feel the chip
Speaker 1: that you kind of keep on your shoulder, Like like
Speaker 1: I see it like looking at you, you kind of feel
Speaker 1: like that energy of like when you say, like mother,
Speaker 1: like people forgot you can feel that chip. Where do
Speaker 1: you feel like you got that chip outside of obviously
Speaker 1: seeing your seeing your dad work as you grew up.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it comes from your undrafted background?
Speaker 1: Like where do you feel like you've developed this this
Speaker 1: ship that you also speak with while having the perspective
Speaker 1: on everything.
Speaker 2: I just got the chills, by the way.
Speaker 8: I just think, to be honest, I've just always kind
Speaker 8: of had it by coming from a small school under
Speaker 8: recruited as a quarterback in high school.
Speaker 2: I did see you went to Indiana State.
Speaker 8: You know, and then I go to Indiana State, you
Speaker 8: know kind of just did you know the coach changed
Speaker 8: like right after Like I went to Indiana State for
Speaker 8: this coach, Trent Miles, Like like he was like a
Speaker 8: you know, a MF for like tough, and that's how
Speaker 8: my dad was and that's like the type of coach
Speaker 8: I like, you.
Speaker 2: Need to be like dominated chill.
Speaker 8: But I just but I just think I just like
Speaker 8: being held accountable, like I love when but like out
Speaker 8: of like out of love and like winning not just
Speaker 8: because like the coach has an ego or like just
Speaker 8: because he wants to like be little soone. No, he's
Speaker 8: like I'm trying to make a man out of you.
Speaker 8: Like that's what I got, And like, you know, I
Speaker 8: didn't like really do it for like the name on
Speaker 8: my back per se. But like you know, we were
Speaker 8: a you know, a German immigrant family. We came in
Speaker 8: and we just started that fam like the family business.
Speaker 8: You know, like it was just like whatever you want
Speaker 8: or whatever you picture, what do you perceive your life
Speaker 8: to be, Like, you gotta go do it. So like
Speaker 8: that's kind of where the chip came for me. Is
Speaker 8: like I kept being like you know, under recruited. Then
Speaker 8: I go to Indiana State, you know, the coach change,
Speaker 8: the new coaching staff comes in. You know, I was
Speaker 8: a backup quarterback. The start went down. I played a
Speaker 8: little bit. I was I was not ready for my
Speaker 8: opportunity because I was comparing I'm like I should be
Speaker 8: starting YadA YadA. Started goes down. I come in. I'm
Speaker 8: not ready. So then they're like, you know he's coming back,
Speaker 8: the older guy's coming back after injury, and I'm like
Speaker 8: I'm like done with the quarterback. I just want to
Speaker 8: play football. I'm like sick of like all like the
Speaker 8: nuances of like you know, the politics and all that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, just put me at a receiver and let me
Speaker 2: just go play football.
Speaker 8: And then I go, you know, set the records at
Speaker 8: receiver for you know, the three years I played receiver,
Speaker 8: you know, most touchdowns in a season, most touchdowns, career,
Speaker 8: second yards, second to most yards whatever.
Speaker 2: And then you know, you.
Speaker 8: Go into the draft process and then it's like I'm
Speaker 8: continuing to grow. I'm a white dude. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 8: gonna go play tight end. Like, let's be honest, like
Speaker 8: everyone's trying to play receiver.
Speaker 1: In the end.
Speaker 2: That awareness, you gotta have that awareness.
Speaker 8: But like everyone's trying to play receiver in the NFL,
Speaker 8: I mean, and the athleticism didn't lack. You know, I
Speaker 8: was running a four to four at two twenty five,
Speaker 8: six foot four, like I built that I built, you know,
Speaker 8: I was built for it and stuff like that. But
Speaker 8: like coming out of Indiana State, like you're not gonna
Speaker 8: get that opportunity, but I knew that, you know, I
Speaker 8: wanted to play, like I want to play football, Like
Speaker 8: I love the everything that comes with football. So like
Speaker 8: the blocking aspect was just gonna be effort. I can
Speaker 8: go run routes on safeties and linebackers all day whatever.
Speaker 8: But like a lot of the time it was just
Speaker 8: like do you have the will and want to like
Speaker 8: contact and physical and I'm like yeah. Like so when
Speaker 8: that process was going on, you know, I thought I
Speaker 8: was gonna get you know, drafted in the later rounds
Speaker 8: we all did.
Speaker 1: Brother, yeah, but like you know, like the teams that
Speaker 1: I was like seventh, but like you go.
Speaker 8: To like all these like combines and protece, Like I
Speaker 8: went to the north I did my prote at Northwestern
Speaker 8: and like killed it, like better than the Northwestern guys. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and then you know, then you go into the draft
Speaker 8: and you see all these guys go off and YadA YadA, yeah,
Speaker 8: and then you go Then I go to Detroit undrafted
Speaker 8: and they had a fourth round pick. They had a
Speaker 8: couple of free agents here and there there they were
Speaker 8: bringing in, and I was getting like two reps at practice.
Speaker 8: But then I'd like when inside run would come, I
Speaker 8: would go down to the one on once and then
Speaker 8: just like tear it up, like go down the receivers
Speaker 8: and just tear up the DBS, you know, the second
Speaker 8: round draft pick like whatever, and.
Speaker 2: This is in training camp of your rookie year week.
Speaker 8: In Detroit, and then like you know, everyone was like
Speaker 8: kind of like banged up. So then like you know,
Speaker 8: I was doing seven. I was Stafford and like I'm
Speaker 8: doing well, like and I'd get in the games, like
Speaker 8: I had never blocked anyone with my hand in the
Speaker 8: dirt until a preseason game, like not even in practice,
Speaker 8: like I was like holding the pad and whatever, and
Speaker 8: then they would just throw my ass in the fucking game.
Speaker 8: And I was like assholes, Yeah, but I And then
Speaker 8: they told me that, you know, they told me right
Speaker 8: from the beginning, like the GM brought me in said
Speaker 8: from the beginning, you're not gonna make the fifty three.
Speaker 8: You're gonna be our practice squad tight end. We're just
Speaker 8: gonna like develop you. Cuts came, they told me the
Speaker 8: same thing, coming tomorrow, sign your practice squad contract.
Speaker 2: I come in. They even they even had me pick
Speaker 2: my number.
Speaker 8: I go up there and they're like, hey, we don't
Speaker 8: have any more practice squad spots for you, no way,
Speaker 8: like they really like I even picked my number eighty four.
Speaker 8: I remember, Oh, they kept me in a room for
Speaker 8: like an hour before they no, no, no, they were
Speaker 8: making sure I didn't sign anywhere else. So then I
Speaker 8: game bro. So then I come out and they whatever ship.
Speaker 8: I packed my locker, I packed my car up, drove
Speaker 8: right to Chicago and hung out with my friends, ate
Speaker 8: a bunch of Popeyes, and just like I remember that,
Speaker 8: I like remember I just like went to my like
Speaker 8: college buddy's house, and I just like decompressed, and I
Speaker 8: was just like I really just like understood like the
Speaker 8: NFL is like a business and not a fucking game,
Speaker 8: like no one gives a fuck. And then I went
Speaker 8: on a bunch of like, uh workouts, like I was
Speaker 8: a workout warrior. That's how I met my boy Skit
Speaker 8: ski Elis. Like we were we were like we're the
Speaker 8: two We're the two boys like that were like, you know, cold.
Speaker 2: New Orleans, you get the workouts together.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, And you know I was going and everyone said, like,
Speaker 8: you know, off season, once the next off season comes,
Speaker 8: like once the next off season comes, like we want
Speaker 8: to sign new to a futures And so I just
Speaker 8: kept going on workouts, kept going on workouts, and uh
Speaker 8: then eventually in like December.
Speaker 2: That's where went to the Green Bay workout, killed it.
Speaker 8: I went to the players lounge like took a nap
Speaker 8: and I woke up and like I like slept past
Speaker 8: my flight like back home, like.
Speaker 2: No one came and got me. Yeah.
Speaker 8: So then I come in and I'm like, hey, like,
Speaker 8: is anyone gonna like take me to the airport? Like
Speaker 8: I didn't know, And they're like, oh no, we're signing
Speaker 8: you with the practice squad. I'm like, also, no one's
Speaker 8: gonna tell me, like when I just sitting here, just.
Speaker 2: Like jumped half of the scout right in front of you, right.
Speaker 8: And I was just like chilling. But yeah, and then
Speaker 8: that was like the rest is history, Like you finished
Speaker 8: up that, you finished out the season. Yeah, it was
Speaker 8: like four weeks. They did end up not making the playoffs. Well,
Speaker 8: we end up not making the playoffs. It was December,
Speaker 8: so I would say like four weeks I was on
Speaker 8: practice squad and it was like so lame. I was like,
Speaker 8: you really just practiced the whole week and then don't
Speaker 8: go play in the games.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm never doing this again. You didn't know
Speaker 2: that about practice squad? No.
Speaker 1: I just was like I was like, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought. I was been like happy, like hey man,
Speaker 1: like I'm a part of the team. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I want to be playing in the game. Oh, bro,
Speaker 1: practice squad is brutal and.
Speaker 2: I only did it for four weeks. Yeah, how old
Speaker 2: or what year was this when you came into the
Speaker 2: league rookie?
Speaker 8: That was like later that year? Was that two thousand
Speaker 8: and seventeen, I believe?
Speaker 1: So what were they at ten guys on the practice
Speaker 1: squad at that point? Yeah, bro, So my rookie ear,
Speaker 1: I think was the last year for it. We had
Speaker 1: eight on our practice squad at Washington and I had
Speaker 1: to do linebacker, tight end.
Speaker 2: Full back just the entire day. Like I hated.
Speaker 1: I hated my rookie year. As far as being on
Speaker 1: practice squad, it was brutal. I'll go home and play
Speaker 1: this Grand Theft out of online and then dread waking
Speaker 1: up the next day. And then on Saturday they would
Speaker 1: have the practice squad guys come in at six in
Speaker 1: the morning to do a workout. I'm talking like a
Speaker 1: grindy workout, bro. So that way, you know, not obviously
Speaker 1: you got like the next few days off, but but
Speaker 1: I think squad it's a.
Speaker 8: Different and I think that's just like going back to
Speaker 8: the original before I ran out. Sorry, but like the
Speaker 8: chip is just like I was just always felt like
Speaker 8: I was undervalued and appreciated. Like I'm like, and people
Speaker 8: don't know slash, don't care what you're really doing behind
Speaker 8: the scenes unless it affects them. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 8: I got to make sure that they know, like when
Speaker 8: my opportunity, Like like I said in college, I wasn't
Speaker 8: ready for an opportunity, but like when my opportunity comes
Speaker 8: this time.
Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna be ready.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's why the next year I made the
Speaker 8: fifty three, they like kept they cut the full back,
Speaker 8: they kept four tight ends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I was on the team ever since.
Speaker 2: Oh that's juicy, bro.
Speaker 1: When you say the undervalue underappreciated, do you feel like
Speaker 1: that plays into when you're going through and getting ahead
Speaker 1: of yourself this past year.
Speaker 2: Because I would.
Speaker 1: I think that's when you're when you're the man, uh
Speaker 1: coming off of a year again that you had in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, like like and being an undrafted cat, like
Speaker 1: you feel like you've paid your decon, You've built your
Speaker 1: rescume to a point to where it was about the
Speaker 1: you know, you sign the you sign the restricted tender
Speaker 1: and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you get injured.
Speaker 1: I would assume that negotiating in your the contract and
Speaker 1: all that stuff doesn't play out the way you want.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking greed and all that stuff. Pro I'm saying,
Speaker 1: do you feel like that that subconscious in the back
Speaker 1: of your mind, if feeling undervalued and under.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's what. Yeah, that's one hundred
Speaker 2: percent where I think.
Speaker 8: That's where I again like got ahead of myself because
Speaker 8: I was just like, you know, how much more do
Speaker 8: I have to prove?
Speaker 1: But again, they don't have to pay you. I know, man,
Speaker 1: they don't have to which sucks. But like when you
Speaker 1: get it, you you're you're at peace with it.
Speaker 8: But yeah, and that's why like even like I just
Speaker 8: think also the chip comes with like never being satisfied,
Speaker 8: like and I think that's a good thing. It is,
Speaker 8: like I probably won't ever be satisfic because I don't
Speaker 8: do it for money, like I really don't. Like again,
Speaker 8: like you see me out there, like I really just
Speaker 8: have a good time like being out there. Like I
Speaker 8: think it's so cool that like only a few type
Speaker 8: you know a few types of like men in this
Speaker 8: world can get their ass kicked beat up and in
Speaker 8: six days do it again for twenty something weeks. Like
Speaker 8: that is like psychologically you have to be like borderline
Speaker 8: like nuts and.
Speaker 1: Then prepare for it all year round just to have
Speaker 1: those same twenty opportunities.
Speaker 8: Right, And I just like really was like it was
Speaker 8: just good to like really sit back and understand, like
Speaker 8: why I'm doing this again instead of getting ahead of
Speaker 8: and being like, you know, like fuck this, like I
Speaker 8: should be doing this.
Speaker 2: But I understood the reality of.
Speaker 8: It, but I was still like like what the fuck,
Speaker 8: Like why right, Like what else do I have to do?
Speaker 8: Like I got there, you know, accidentally lead the league
Speaker 8: in touchdowns at tight end, Like it was a complete accident.
Speaker 2: Like I wasn't getting game plan to get the football.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, Like I wasn't, you know, I had fifty
Speaker 8: nine targets and fifty two catches like like I wasn't
Speaker 8: getting targeted. It was just like coming to me and
Speaker 8: like and that was the thing, Like, but I was
Speaker 8: busting my ass for the opportunity that I was going
Speaker 8: to be ready and you know, and that was the thing.
Speaker 2: Is like.
Speaker 8: A lot of the difference in this league is just opportunity.
Speaker 8: And that's what it was so humbling to me.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 8: It's just not your turn, it's not your time, and
Speaker 8: that's okay. Like I just, like you were saying, like
Speaker 8: I really get to step back and just observe, and
Speaker 8: I'm good at that. Like I got better at that now,
Speaker 8: Like I feel like it doesn't take an injury for
Speaker 8: me to do that any situation in my life. I
Speaker 8: can really just like, like dude, I get anxiety before
Speaker 8: like going out because I just don't like a lot
Speaker 8: of people that I don't know. Yeah, but now I
Speaker 8: get to just step back and be like why do
Speaker 8: I feel that way?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Am I nervous about that? Or you know, like just
Speaker 8: changing your perspective on a lot of things and it
Speaker 8: just really, you know, made my mental stronger. And like
Speaker 8: you're saying, just like I get to view and like
Speaker 8: control a lot of perspective stuff just by training your
Speaker 8: mind and going through adversity instead of like hiding from it,
Speaker 8: like just going right at it. And I think I
Speaker 8: got really good at that. And I thought I was
Speaker 8: good at it before and then like more stuff happened,
Speaker 8: you know, on and off the field, and I'm just
Speaker 8: continuing to grow. And that's why I'm like smiling internally
Speaker 8: because I'm like I can't wait because I don't give
Speaker 8: a fuck anymore. Like I don't like, like you can't
Speaker 8: kill what's already dead. Yeah, Like, dude, I've been dead inside,
Speaker 8: like I thought, Like I was, like I think I've
Speaker 8: told you this before, Like I thought I was in hell,
Speaker 8: like you know, tearing my thought I was gonna get
Speaker 8: cut by the packers coming back and then having the
Speaker 8: twenty twenty season, I thought I was dead inside then No,
Speaker 8: like like I truly do not give a fuck anymore.
Speaker 1: And that's why I can't wait, as like it's like
Speaker 1: a superhero origin story going on.
Speaker 2: But like you like, but it's good that you have
Speaker 2: that because it's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard to and you you know, like we're we're
Speaker 1: in the locker rooms with all the boys, Like everybody's
Speaker 1: kind of got that about them where they can't like
Speaker 1: release their ego from it or separate the front because
Speaker 1: they're so emotionally attached to it. I would assume that
Speaker 1: you were frustrated probably with your negotiation.
Speaker 8: It wasn't even like the negotiation I think I was
Speaker 8: more frustrated with just like the like at the beginning
Speaker 8: of last year, it was just the opportunity, and I
Speaker 8: just like wasn't understanding at the time.
Speaker 2: Clearly what like you know, the timing aspect of timing
Speaker 2: and how much probably you wrapped up in the identity
Speaker 2: of it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: You know, like it was like you know, like like
Speaker 8: I wanted to be you know, out there, like you know,
Speaker 8: getting a touchdown a game again, and I wanted to
Speaker 8: be like showcasing my talents and like what I've like
Speaker 8: worked so hard, like I work on like my like
Speaker 8: craft like so much. I work on my negatives. I work,
Speaker 8: I work on my weaknesses, and I just wanted to
Speaker 8: show that. But like at the time, my weaknesses like
Speaker 8: were like blocking before that, but I was starting to
Speaker 8: do good at blocking, but I was getting kind of
Speaker 8: caught up in the you know.
Speaker 1: The fancy football side of it and not fantasy football,
Speaker 1: actual fantasy football.
Speaker 2: But like in our head. Yeah, like you get caught up.
Speaker 8: But then you like but like I'd feel like, you know,
Speaker 8: I didn't do anything, you know, one catch for seven
Speaker 8: yards and you like whatever, You're like, fuck man, I
Speaker 8: turned on the film and I'm like, damn, I'm really
Speaker 8: getting after it, like but I couldn't like at the time,
Speaker 8: like it was just a lot of shit going on,
Speaker 8: and like I said, like on and off the field,
Speaker 8: like there's just so much shit that I was just
Speaker 8: trying to like whatever. And I just like I started
Speaker 8: kind of like reading more into like Kobe Bryant stuff lately,
Speaker 8: and like I think we've talked about this, but like
Speaker 8: George helped me out with this a while ago. Was
Speaker 8: kind of like your alter ego, just like when you
Speaker 8: step on like the football field, like you have an
Speaker 8: identity that just like is different, and like all that
Speaker 8: stuff is just off. And in twenty twenty I was
Speaker 8: so good at it, Like I was so good in
Speaker 8: twenty twenty one, I was just like more like not
Speaker 8: like victimizing myself, but more like, fuck, it could.
Speaker 2: Be way better, like YadA YadA, and then.
Speaker 1: Started placing yourself on the like I know for me
Speaker 1: when I was like playing better or getting into my
Speaker 1: fourth fifth year stuff like that, like you feel like
Speaker 1: you've worked so fucking hard right, earn certain respects and
Speaker 1: everything else that if I look back on it, like
Speaker 1: some you start believing some of your own bullshit in
Speaker 1: your head, or like putting my own self on a
Speaker 1: certain pedestal. And if I wasn't getting X amount of
Speaker 1: tackles a game, like you're saying with catches, like even
Speaker 1: if I might have played well in a role spot
Speaker 1: or in a role opportunity, I'm not seeing it that
Speaker 1: way because I feel like I'm I like, there's some
Speaker 1: dude that I should be getting that wasn't happening for me.
Speaker 8: And my goal is to become a complete football player,
Speaker 8: and that's what was happening, and I wasn't even like
Speaker 8: present and realizing it. And that's why, like I got
Speaker 8: to step back and be like, dude, I got better
Speaker 8: at that, and like I did the you know, the
Speaker 8: the X amount of touchdowns in twenty twenty and twenty
Speaker 8: twenty one, I was, you know, becoming a like a
Speaker 8: good blocker, and like now I got to sit back
Speaker 8: and be like, oh, and now this past eight months
Speaker 8: was just like my mentality getting tested and my pride
Speaker 8: you know, getting tested and all this stuff. So I'm like, oh, like,
Speaker 8: you know, the universe is really like trying to make
Speaker 8: me a complete human being. And now that's why I'm saying,
Speaker 8: like I don't give a fuck anymore, like about anything,
Speaker 8: Like I don't care about external bullshit about anything, Like
Speaker 8: I care about my value in that locker room, and
Speaker 8: like my teammates know so, like and if we're trying
Speaker 8: to if we're trying to win a.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and they know like what my value is.
Speaker 8: Unless when a super and then the like I said,
Speaker 8: divine time and will take care of itself and right
Speaker 8: that shit will all happen and accolades or whatever will
Speaker 8: just come. But at the same time, that's just not
Speaker 8: where my career is at currently. Yeah, is it gonna
Speaker 8: get there, Yeah, but that's not where it's at right now.
Speaker 2: And that's okay.
Speaker 8: But I'm finally in the driver's seat in my career
Speaker 8: like for the first time ever, and like it feels
Speaker 8: so good and the and coming off an injury, like
Speaker 8: being like fresh and whatever it is and really getting
Speaker 8: to start from zero. Like that's why I'm so confident
Speaker 8: and comfortable because like I know the work I put in.
Speaker 8: I knew where I was, you know, how dead inside
Speaker 8: I was. Like that's like I'm like just like ready
Speaker 8: to play fubball because like nothing else matters, but like
Speaker 8: my like my teammates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now the process the question I was one to
Speaker 1: I was wanting to get into earlier when you came
Speaker 1: on last year and we're talking about the mental side
Speaker 1: and it's fucking awesome. Yeah, but speak on like how
Speaker 1: all how consistently and how it's just the hey is
Speaker 1: never I feel like in the barn with that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, with your mental side and that mental fortitude,
Speaker 1: like you say you don't give a fuck or stuffs.
Speaker 1: The external stuff's not bothering you. That's that's present, that's
Speaker 1: like current right now. Or do you feel like you've
Speaker 1: came up or not came up with but like read
Speaker 1: into things or been able to like be mindful enough
Speaker 1: to know to kind of ready yourself for the season,
Speaker 1: because you know how the season again can get away
Speaker 1: from you, not like get away from you just in
Speaker 1: any respect, but just like you get into the grind
Speaker 1: of the season, you feel a little sorry for yourself
Speaker 1: because you're banged up. Not externally feeling sorry for yourself,
Speaker 1: but you just get in the thick of it. You're
Speaker 1: around guys who might complain a little bit more. You
Speaker 1: might pop on social media, like how do you feel
Speaker 1: like you've grown in that area to make sure and
Speaker 1: not even make sure, but continue to know, like I
Speaker 1: have to guard myself from this shit.
Speaker 8: Uh one, because I thought I was in control last
Speaker 8: year and I wasn't, And now I like know the difference,
Speaker 8: and like I thought like I was going into life
Speaker 8: share with like the right mindset and like you know
Speaker 8: what we talked about, but like you have to take
Speaker 8: that next step every time, like I know, like like
Speaker 8: you're saying, you're gonna hit that point and the next year,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna hit another point. Like everything's You're always gonna
Speaker 8: be hit with adversities ever every year, and I think
Speaker 8: it's just like facing them head on and just like
Speaker 8: going into them with like a quote unquote positive mindset,
Speaker 8: but just like more of a growth progressive mindset.
Speaker 2: And like you're saying, like with.
Speaker 8: Those guys that are like complaining more and instead of
Speaker 8: just like you know, laughing or like just like brushing
Speaker 8: it off, like you know, it's my turn to be
Speaker 8: like a leader and like being like, you know, take
Speaker 8: guys along with me instead of just you know, like
Speaker 8: I'm talking about like the teammates and like that's who
Speaker 8: I care about right, and I need to bring guys
Speaker 8: along with me more that to my mindset and like
Speaker 8: my vision and stuff like that, because like you're saying,
Speaker 8: you know, people are like you know, like man, fuck today.
Speaker 8: Instead of being like laughing or whatever or just like yeah, no,
Speaker 8: I feel you.
Speaker 2: It's more like something say something.
Speaker 8: Because like that's your brother, like and instead of just
Speaker 8: like kind of like getting uncomfortable and like oh it
Speaker 8: might be you know, not cool to like also be
Speaker 8: like fuck that.
Speaker 2: Put the pads on a Wednesday for this practice or
Speaker 2: so like fuck it, like let's get it.
Speaker 8: Like, but like we're really trying to compete and like
Speaker 8: win a Super Bowl, and like we do have good
Speaker 8: leaders on that team. We have a great locker room,
Speaker 8: we have great chemistry. You know, we've been to the
Speaker 8: NFC Championship three times. Like what really, what do we
Speaker 8: really need to break through that last like wall to
Speaker 8: get to the Super Bowl? And I think it's just
Speaker 8: like the consistency of staying ourselves like for a longer
Speaker 8: period of time, because like we come out hot, we
Speaker 8: you know, we win those close games, YadA YadA, and
Speaker 8: then we get like towards the end of the season
Speaker 8: and we're just like, man, fuck this, Like but like
Speaker 8: we're thirteen and three fourteen and three football team, Like
Speaker 8: that's our identity, Like we're a winning football program. Like
Speaker 8: why do we get like down on ourselves, like as
Speaker 8: like time progresses or like the weight of the season
Speaker 8: gets on us, Like that's not us. So me like
Speaker 8: sitting back and like noticing that last year, like when
Speaker 8: I was hurt, I stayed there the whole time, like
Speaker 8: rehabiting Green Bay, did my surgery in Green Bay. I
Speaker 8: got to see that. And what's what was hard was
Speaker 8: like we stopped being ourselves later on in the season.
Speaker 8: So I think just like the consistency of being ourselves
Speaker 8: and like staying true to us for a longer period
Speaker 8: of time, I think that is where like is going
Speaker 8: to take the next step. And if I notice that,
Speaker 8: like like it would be a I'm a fool if
Speaker 8: I don't like say something or like bring someone with me,
Speaker 8: because a lot of those guys, like our big time
Speaker 8: guys and big name guys and leaders of our locker
Speaker 8: room that also needs someone to rely on because like
Speaker 8: they're relied upon for a bunch of other people, but
Speaker 8: they need someone And like if that's if that's like
Speaker 8: my role like in the locker room is to like
Speaker 8: be there for like you know, the the captains of
Speaker 8: the team or the you know, the leaders of the team.
Speaker 8: Like and I noticed that, Like that's what I want
Speaker 8: my role to be. Like if you know, those types
Speaker 8: of guys need someone to come to to talk to,
Speaker 8: and me to share a positive light on a bad
Speaker 8: situation or like the pads on a Wednesday, like I'll
Speaker 8: be the positive vibe, Like I'll smile and like, you know,
Speaker 8: help that's fine. But like at the end of the day,
Speaker 8: like you also know what I'm gonna do when we
Speaker 8: put the you know, pads on it, when we get
Speaker 8: the Sundays like, you know, but off the field, I
Speaker 8: can be that person for you.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, how do you see your role
Speaker 1: kind of shifting now that you've kind of established yourself
Speaker 1: like as a Green Bay packer and you guys got
Speaker 1: a lot of pieces that's.
Speaker 2: Been the front thing.
Speaker 8: It's just like also just like taking my leadership to
Speaker 8: the next level and just being more like just holding
Speaker 8: more people kindle and holding myself more accountable. Like I
Speaker 8: was saying, like towards the end of the season, like
Speaker 8: we just need to. And I'm not saying like you know,
Speaker 8: people are like fucking up or like doing stupid shit.
Speaker 8: I just think that, like it is, it's a long
Speaker 8: grilling season, and up in Green Bay, it's tough.
Speaker 2: You know, you got the winner.
Speaker 8: It's cold. It's like it just sucks ass, like waking
Speaker 8: up in Like, yeah, it's a grind. But like just
Speaker 8: like reminding people that like who they are and what
Speaker 8: they bring to the table. Yeah, like that can only be beneficial.
Speaker 8: I think that just reminding everyone and bringing the longevity
Speaker 8: of like positivity and like leadership and you know, enthusiasm
Speaker 8: or whatever. Just kind of just bringing it longer, just
Speaker 8: a couple more weeks.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, also think too, like you kind of get that,
Speaker 1: you kind of get to understand that perspective because you
Speaker 1: were like in the like say December, like you're sitting there,
Speaker 1: sitting back, you're getting rehabbed and everything else.
Speaker 2: You're kind of seeing it.
Speaker 1: It's you know, you get it, like when you're in
Speaker 1: it's just a fucking grind. Don't even know going Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't even notice it now that you're going into
Speaker 1: it this year. Once you get to that point of
Speaker 1: the year, like you know like you're saying it, there's
Speaker 1: there's something that can be whether it's a spark or
Speaker 1: conversation with somebody to be like, hey, like we know
Speaker 1: we're in the fucking gritty part. We've been here three
Speaker 1: different times. Like how how tough is that? Knowing that
Speaker 1: you guys have been ye, this fucking close every year
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and just you got you you know
Speaker 1: the way everybody holds lifts up the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: right once you guys get into that NFC championship. Although
Speaker 1: it's a good feed, it's like what's it gonna take
Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 8: And that that's the toughest part, And no one wants
Speaker 8: to hear it from a coach like you're in and
Speaker 8: you're out and like later on the season, because it's
Speaker 8: easy for a coach to say it like hey, guys,
Speaker 8: like we gotta do this and we gotta do this,
Speaker 8: Like well, you're not in the like you're a part
Speaker 8: of it, but you're not like in it. So it's
Speaker 8: like for me, like you said, I got to sit
Speaker 8: back and like be like in the coaches like situation
Speaker 8: where like I'm just seeing everything develop and you.
Speaker 1: Can kind of see how coaches might be moving that way.
Speaker 1: It's like I can see why they're trying to do
Speaker 1: it like.
Speaker 2: This right and just kind of.
Speaker 1: You see, that's where it comes in for the player ownership,
Speaker 1: where the player ownership.
Speaker 2: The best teams are player less exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like those are the times, like those are
Speaker 1: the times of the year where coaches can do as
Speaker 1: much as they can. But if like the players aren't
Speaker 1: holding up this, aren't holding the standard or holding the
Speaker 1: front line and your best players and stuff, that's where
Speaker 1: it gets dicey at the end of the year. I
Speaker 1: think that's where you guys are at, but like you're
Speaker 1: probably seeing it from that bird's eye view or the coach,
Speaker 1: Like I see why he's being like that, but I
Speaker 1: also see like why he's not gonna motivate this player
Speaker 1: because you're this long in the year and the player
Speaker 1: don't really care to hear it. But if a player
Speaker 1: were to say some shit right here, then it's a different.
Speaker 8: Lovely Yeah, I love dude, And that's like the because like,
Speaker 8: no one on our team is sensitive when we talk
Speaker 8: to each other.
Speaker 2: But I just don't think.
Speaker 8: Enough, Like I think this is across the league and
Speaker 8: not enough players like talk and like motivate each other
Speaker 8: because they're like worried about their you know, their own
Speaker 8: process or their for themselves and stuff like that. And
Speaker 8: we were such a close you know, nick group up
Speaker 8: there because there's nothing else to do but to hang
Speaker 8: out with each other. So I think that just reiterating
Speaker 8: and continuing that like longer into the season, like because
Speaker 8: everyone's hanging out and like happy, like you know, it's summer,
Speaker 8: it's falling Lambeau and then it's like November and Lambeau
Speaker 8: and that's that's like no, like lambeau Field, and then
Speaker 8: it gets you know, snow, and then the snow games
Speaker 8: are fun. But then it's like playoffs and like there's
Speaker 8: six teams left, four teams left, and we're just like
Speaker 8: the only ones practicing. It's like a lot of walkthroughs
Speaker 8: and it's just monotonous, and it's like we need to
Speaker 8: like that's the time to take off, right right right,
Speaker 8: that's not the time to like plateau out. That's the
Speaker 8: time to hit another gear and like go and and
Speaker 8: a lot of guys do a great job of it.
Speaker 8: I'm not talking and you know negative about any means.
Speaker 8: I just think that what it how close we've been
Speaker 8: and like the same thing kind of happens.
Speaker 2: It's like now's the time to like right now or never?
Speaker 1: Like you know, I mean that like the results have
Speaker 1: already happened, you know what I mean. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're saying this and it's like this is what we've
Speaker 1: done wrong and we're shitty at this. It's results have
Speaker 1: happened and you've made it certain, You've made it certain
Speaker 1: lengths each year, it's.
Speaker 2: Like what are we looking at?
Speaker 1: Because you have to be able to self evaluate, right,
Speaker 1: You're just giving a perspective on like you know, here's
Speaker 1: some things I think going into next year.
Speaker 2: That I might be able to do it in my
Speaker 2: within my role. And that's like a great way to
Speaker 2: put it.
Speaker 8: Is like I got to again like view it as
Speaker 8: a different perspective, like not only myself, but like the team.
Speaker 2: And I'm very socially aware, like group aware, energy aware.
Speaker 8: You know, like when someone walks in the room, like
Speaker 8: I can feel it, like I can feel like how
Speaker 8: they're feeling and stuff like that. And I think I
Speaker 8: just need to use that as my advantage and in
Speaker 8: my leadership skills and to become a better leader to
Speaker 8: take that next step for not only me, but to
Speaker 8: help the team because I if I notice it and
Speaker 8: like I'm good at something, I got to use that
Speaker 8: to help the team.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm a fool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of leadership, talk about Mercedes Lewis. He has
Speaker 1: this reputation that he's been how many years is Mercedes
Speaker 1: has played?
Speaker 2: I mean this will be eighteen, I think eighteen years.
Speaker 1: He's like one of the oldest players in the league,
Speaker 1: if not like tied for Tom Brady for being the
Speaker 1: oldest in the league. But talk about like him and
Speaker 1: his leadership because I've heard stories like I've seventeen Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lafleur has talked about how influential of a leader he is.
Speaker 1: Like everybody who's played with him has talked about him
Speaker 1: as a leader, like speak on his his leadership and
Speaker 1: like what he's meant to you as a growth, not
Speaker 1: only as a player but also probably a person.
Speaker 8: I mean, like I was saying, like you don't always
Speaker 8: want to hear like a coach or coaches like speak
Speaker 8: all the time because like yeah, like I mean your
Speaker 8: coach is valuable to the team. Yes I'm not downgrading that,
Speaker 8: but like to an extent you want to hear someone
Speaker 8: who's done it right.
Speaker 1: Like when he talks, coach is always on the podium
Speaker 1: and they're always saying right, but I'm always gonna say
Speaker 1: the you know, not not to say it's always political,
Speaker 1: but you know they're in the best interest of an
Speaker 1: entire team when they're trying to give.
Speaker 2: Any And when he talks, people listen.
Speaker 8: Like his demeanor, his voice, what he says, like it's
Speaker 8: meaningful and it has like a purpose. It's not just
Speaker 8: like going up there and like you know, saying a
Speaker 8: quote or like trying to like just give external motivation.
Speaker 8: It's like really from like what he's done, what he's
Speaker 8: been through, and what he sees, and like that's why
Speaker 8: like being around him, like from when I got there,
Speaker 8: like I like what twenty three years old, I felt
Speaker 8: like I've matured like ten years over like you know,
Speaker 8: whatever time I was with him, because when he talks,
Speaker 8: like I just listen and because like he cares about
Speaker 8: me and I know that just like for what we
Speaker 8: talk about, and you know what he's done for me
Speaker 8: on and off the field, you know, showing me, you know,
Speaker 8: things I haven't ever experienced, like from like a little
Speaker 8: you know, small farmtown in Illinois and he's from like La,
Speaker 8: you know, he just got to like he's just made
Speaker 8: sure I've experienced stuff that I wouldn't get to experience
Speaker 8: and in the right way.
Speaker 2: And and that's like he's meant so much.
Speaker 8: Like that is like the most influential person like with
Speaker 8: football that I've ever been around, Like for me, Like
Speaker 8: like our talks like we're like well, like we'll say,
Speaker 8: like what's up in the here and there and like,
Speaker 8: but like our conversations are never like wasted or surface
Speaker 8: level like ever. And that's like the best part about it.
Speaker 8: Like there's no small talk with me and Sadie's. It's
Speaker 8: everything's meaningful and that's like the best. And it's every
Speaker 8: day so it's not just like, oh hey, what's up,
Speaker 8: you know, what'd you do last night? Oh okay, It's
Speaker 8: never that. It's like, hey, how's your mom doing?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 8: How's your mom doing? You know, like what is you know,
Speaker 8: what are you going with or what are you dealing
Speaker 8: with like off the field or how's this or how's
Speaker 8: this situation? I don't want to get into like too
Speaker 8: much like personal right between us two, but like but.
Speaker 2: It's not small talk. You guys are.
Speaker 8: Always deep and like every Wednesday it would be me,
Speaker 8: him and our tight ends coach at the time, Jail
Speaker 8: he's the OHC in Denver.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 8: Every Wednesday we'd sit down when they were doing special
Speaker 8: teams and I'd just go in there and we would
Speaker 8: just talk like real life shit and like every Wednesday
Speaker 8: it was basically like a prize session, like of us
Speaker 8: just pouring shit out because like you need it, because
Speaker 8: like known externally outside of the building truly gives a
Speaker 8: fuck what you're feeling. They're just like, like I'm saying,
Speaker 8: how many stats are you doing.
Speaker 2: The game performance space business? Yeah, but like that was
Speaker 2: like so good for us.
Speaker 8: And that's why we're we got so close over the
Speaker 8: years too, is just because we talk about real ass
Speaker 8: shit and real ass you know things that were going
Speaker 8: through or thinking. And I'm not afraid to ask him
Speaker 8: any question and he's not afraid to like give me
Speaker 8: the truth. And for him to be at where he
Speaker 8: is in his career.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, brain little adversity.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like I don't I didn't deserve what he was
Speaker 8: giving me at the beginning. Like I even like felt
Speaker 8: like I'm not even deserving of this guy's time, but
Speaker 8: he saw something in me. Sounds cliche, but like he
Speaker 8: was like, you know, people don't move like you at
Speaker 8: your size, like telling me that, like people arenest you know,
Speaker 8: people can't stretch the field like you. People don't have
Speaker 8: the will and the urge to be great like you do,
Speaker 8: Like you want to be great, Like there's a lot
Speaker 8: of people who are just like in the league. To
Speaker 8: be in the league, you're really trying to be great.
Speaker 8: And I'm like, yeah, I am, Like how'd you even
Speaker 8: notice that? But like that's how like we you know,
Speaker 8: we feel each other out and we you know, understand
Speaker 8: each other. And last year, like one of the talks
Speaker 8: that stuck with me that like really made me just
Speaker 8: like honestly like like breakdown. And for him to break
Speaker 8: down was like there's two things he said to me.
Speaker 8: He said for us, like he said, I've never felt
Speaker 8: more like close to a person, like as like relatable,
Speaker 8: as like a quote unquote twin than you.
Speaker 2: And like this dude six eight.
Speaker 8: Obviously me and Mercedes do not look alike, but like
Speaker 8: for he's but like you know, for him to be
Speaker 8: like like we operate the same like internally and like,
Speaker 8: you know him coming from you know Polly, you like
Speaker 8: right La and me you know, coming from where I'm from,
Speaker 8: Like we don't have the same you know.
Speaker 1: Well even the age gap too, like when you're an
Speaker 1: old when you're like an older just vet, yeah, you
Speaker 1: kind of just you do your thing, you do all
Speaker 1: your process.
Speaker 2: You get them into probably a big family. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: that's just what I did. I just yea and we
Speaker 2: were there late.
Speaker 8: We you know, I adapted the recovery process, like he
Speaker 8: helped me with my recovery process.
Speaker 2: Like we get to like have the same schedule like that.
Speaker 8: And it's just like he's like, I've never related to
Speaker 8: someone in the football sense, like on the football field
Speaker 8: like I do you and just by like kind of chance,
Speaker 8: you know, And that meant a lot to me. That
Speaker 8: was at the end of last year. That was after
Speaker 8: my injury. But during the season last year he said,
Speaker 8: he said, the first time in my life, I'm content
Speaker 8: with being number two. And I was like, whoa, And
Speaker 8: that's a dude, who's you know, Pro Bowl seventeen years,
Speaker 8: done everything, thirteen years in Jacksonville, you know, made this
Speaker 8: amount of money, you know, taking care of his mom,
Speaker 8: like that like that's what like you know, sharing that
Speaker 8: same like passionate love for like our mothers and like
Speaker 8: our wives and stuff like that, and like he said,
Speaker 8: I'm content with being number two for the first time
Speaker 8: in my life. Like I love sitting back and just
Speaker 8: watching you play football and have fun and like do
Speaker 8: your shit and just like go yeah. And it's like
Speaker 8: he said, I'm gonna go on the field, I'm gonna
Speaker 8: put my hands on someone for you.
Speaker 2: And I was just like whoa.
Speaker 8: And that's like when I really was like this shit
Speaker 8: really means more than just like wins and losses like
Speaker 8: cliche again, but like it does, like he really gives
Speaker 8: a fuck about me. And I was like, and that's
Speaker 8: like the the bond that like there's no monetary value
Speaker 8: for that, like you know, you can go elsewhere and
Speaker 8: play and get a check or what else or wherever,
Speaker 8: but like that value and that like bond, Like when
Speaker 8: we're in twelve personnel and like me and him are
Speaker 8: next to each other, like we okay each other and
Speaker 8: we just know like it's on yeah, and there's no
Speaker 8: like gray area with us, like we're overs over on
Speaker 8: the side, like he's you know, teaching me like past sets,
Speaker 8: run game stuff, but then it like goes to the
Speaker 8: field and it works like it happens. And like when
Speaker 8: we're in twelve personnel, like we know, like that's the shit.
Speaker 8: Like we're there for each other. There's no hesitant, like
Speaker 8: we're just going because like we know each other and
Speaker 8: we know and that's you do go that extra stuff
Speaker 8: for someone you love. And that's why it's so cool
Speaker 8: to have that relationship with everyone and have that you know,
Speaker 8: bond in Green Bay like that, because we do like
Speaker 8: go the extra stuff for everyone. But Sades is just
Speaker 8: like he's done so much like for me, like my mentality,
Speaker 8: and like he helps me with that too, Like that's
Speaker 8: the number one guy that's just like helped me on
Speaker 8: and off the field, and like you know, you know
Speaker 8: he sees me run around, you know, being young. He goes,
Speaker 8: you know, you make me feel young because like I'm
Speaker 8: trying to like Chase like a young you know.
Speaker 1: Him to hear though by the way from like a vet.
Speaker 1: So I say, yo, bro, you make me feel young again.
Speaker 8: You're like yeah, I mean, and he's dope, like he
Speaker 8: you know, he and he doesn't need me to make
Speaker 8: him feel young, like he's he's dope, like you know,
Speaker 8: his swag, his style, his like interests, like his vibe.
Speaker 8: Like he is young, you know, you know he's outlay right,
Speaker 8: but physically in football for me to be like you know,
Speaker 8: running around and you know, he's chasing me around and
Speaker 8: like you know, running routes and I'm hyping him up
Speaker 8: and when he's gonna touch on and practice of the game,
Speaker 8: like you know who the first person who's going to
Speaker 8: be there, right, and like vice versa. And that's why,
Speaker 8: like after I score, like that's low key the first
Speaker 8: person I'm looking for because I'm like, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like celebrate with the boy man.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like because like he truly, like honestly has meant
Speaker 8: the most of me in my football career.
Speaker 2: Like, hands down, that's awesome. It's really cool to hear.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Unicorn, the my serious
Speaker 1: creature that everybody's always worried about. That everybody's always wondering
Speaker 1: what he does his off seasons that he's on the
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee show, like every Monday or Tuesday. He's just
Speaker 1: got everyone's just always extremely concerned about Aaron Rodgers. What's
Speaker 1: it like playing with a rod what's he like in
Speaker 1: the locker room, Like, what's he like as a leader?
Speaker 1: What's your guys' relationship, like talk about him a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then also I would love to get into his
Speaker 1: new tattoo.
Speaker 2: Can I just start with a tattoo?
Speaker 8: Because I just want to say that, because we were
Speaker 8: joking about tattoos one time, Like we were just eating
Speaker 8: dinner or launch at the table or whatever, and we
Speaker 8: were just talking about tattoos or whatever.
Speaker 2: I think we were low key talking about Preston Smith's tattoos.
Speaker 8: I'm serious, because he got he got like a cool
Speaker 8: like like a devil and angel tattoo, like whispering in
Speaker 8: his ears and like you know, a rod like can't
Speaker 8: keep his mouth show.
Speaker 1: So you had to like flame Preston or whatever. Dude,
Speaker 1: that is hilarious. I have a just side note, keep
Speaker 1: your thought. I have a photo that that photo right there,
Speaker 1: hang on go back top left.
Speaker 2: That's of me. That is on my phone. He posted
Speaker 2: that on snapchat one time. I love I love Peter Death.
Speaker 2: He's the he is.
Speaker 8: He is he is a bright spotting Yeah, like that's
Speaker 8: it's dope. But he's a bright spot in the locker
Speaker 8: like he is a good like.
Speaker 1: He's a good time. He's like a good vibe. He's
Speaker 1: always warn the most fashionable stuff you can find. I
Speaker 1: remember year, he know that the Spike shoes like every
Speaker 1: like a new pair. He's always well, when you come
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, we'll get him right, Yeah, he's always yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll have to. Uh we got to get pressed on
Speaker 1: the bus. I love pressing though. But anyway, you guys
Speaker 1: are talking about the tattoo. He had the devil on
Speaker 1: the Angel flamed him and now a Rod's got his illuminating.
Speaker 8: So he was like, you know, he was like, I'm
Speaker 8: in the process of creating one and I'm like okay.
Speaker 8: Aaron said that, Yeah this was a while ago, and
Speaker 8: I'm like okay, and you know he's going through you know,
Speaker 8: he didn't tell me about it because he was like,
Speaker 8: you know, it's you know, it's kind of like it's
Speaker 8: you know, like when he like when something's important to him,
Speaker 8: it's like dramatic in a.
Speaker 2: Good way deepest.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like listen, you know, and like he's like,
Speaker 8: you know, he really tries to make you like buy
Speaker 8: in in the and I'll get later on in uh
Speaker 8: when our mon me and his Monday met him and
Speaker 8: Alan was ours Monday night hangout. It's like our deep
Speaker 8: talks by the fire. It's so funny. But so he
Speaker 8: was like, I was like, where are you gonna get it?
Speaker 8: And he like went into you know, a deep description
Speaker 8: kind of a whatever, and he just goes right here, man,
Speaker 8: and I'm like, that's bold. And I didn't believe him,
Speaker 8: like zero, So I totally forgot about it because you know,
Speaker 8: like a rod talks like certain things and he says
Speaker 8: some things whatever. Next thing, I know, like what a
Speaker 8: couple like a month ago, it just popped up and
Speaker 8: that's dope.
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, how so how long are we
Speaker 1: saying that this tattoo has been worked on?
Speaker 2: Oh a year or more? Probably Like oh, like.
Speaker 1: You're saying, you're saying by the time you're saying, this
Speaker 1: thing has been in the process for a while, Yes.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 8: And but when he said it was gonna go right
Speaker 8: in this farm, I was like, yeah, you're lying, no
Speaker 8: chance right here. Next and then next thing, you know,
Speaker 8: right right on the forearm.
Speaker 2: What does it all mean? Do we know?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 8: I can't wait to learn about it, because I mean
Speaker 8: I haven't been with him in person since But.
Speaker 2: Is there anything on there that might true?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean that's like you know, the birth chart
Speaker 8: in the stars. It's probably you know, like that when
Speaker 8: he was born, like how the stars were and some
Speaker 8: correlation of stuff. Yeah, that guy, that artist. Yeah, and
Speaker 8: it's well thought out. There's a story. And I can't wait.
Speaker 8: The waves. You know, he's told me stories about you know,
Speaker 8: the ocean and the waves that what what they mean
Speaker 8: to him. So I am you know, I feel like
Speaker 8: you know, you know, I feel if I'm guessing, and
Speaker 8: I don't want to be wrong, so don't take my
Speaker 8: correct or my full word for it. But you know,
Speaker 8: you of like a you know, uh, you know, a
Speaker 8: rising sign and you know a moon sign, and I'm
Speaker 8: guessing that's like the lions back and forth. Ones is
Speaker 8: dark side. Ones is like calm side. I think it's
Speaker 8: dope though, Hey, okay, yeah, I mean I think it's dope.
Speaker 8: But it's just funny because like I'm gonna have the
Speaker 8: MVP quarterback under center on Sunday Night Football with a
Speaker 8: hippie tattoo on his forearm right here.
Speaker 1: That's first touchdown celebration just right here. But uh no,
Speaker 1: he like he is like playing with him, I mean
Speaker 1: arguably to.
Speaker 2: Go yeah, and there's nothing more than.
Speaker 8: Two minute drow with him, Like I like, that's when
Speaker 8: I love playing with Aaron the most. He is the
Speaker 8: best at it and then he like makes it look easy,
Speaker 8: but his demand for not perfection, but like he wants
Speaker 8: you to be thinking how he's thinking. And obviously we're
Speaker 8: not gonna be thinking how he's thinking because like you know,
Speaker 8: he's out there.
Speaker 2: I mean you look at that too.
Speaker 8: I really like love being challenged by him because he
Speaker 8: like again, like he's a person who knows, like I
Speaker 8: want to be great, and like two minutes when like
Speaker 8: when shit is like flying, like defenses are flying around,
Speaker 8: they're not set. You know, he's rushing the line, he's
Speaker 8: throwing out signals, he's looking this way. He throws up
Speaker 8: a signal and snaps the ball and you're over there,
Speaker 8: like you gotta know. But it does come with like
Speaker 8: time playing with him. But I love playing with him
Speaker 8: because it's a challenge and it's not like, hey, this
Speaker 8: is the player we're running today, Da da da, it's
Speaker 8: like now listen, like and then he explains like the
Speaker 8: reason why, and it's like that's how I think.
Speaker 1: Why you guys, are we talking in practice? Both both everything?
Speaker 8: You know, I mean a lot of the two minute
Speaker 8: drives are made up plays just fy like, so you
Speaker 8: can't game plan for Aaron and two minute drill.
Speaker 2: You just got to buckle up. You's got to buckle
Speaker 2: the fuck up, you do.
Speaker 8: And that's like the best part about playing with him
Speaker 8: is you know that and you have that edge on someone.
Speaker 8: So that's why you have to be more dialed in
Speaker 8: because you really you don't even know, so that's why
Speaker 8: you just got to really tap into like what's going on.
Speaker 1: But does he ever really calm demeanor in the huddle
Speaker 1: like when these high pressure.
Speaker 8: Moments always and that's why it's so calm for us,
Speaker 8: and that's like a good thing. And you know he,
Speaker 8: I mean, he has a fire in him like when
Speaker 8: shit's like when he you know, when shit's going good
Speaker 8: or shit's going like, he demands, he demands like whatever
Speaker 8: it is. And I don't want to say perfection because
Speaker 8: like the word perfection is just whatever. But he really
Speaker 8: is so fun to play with because I don't even
Speaker 8: know how to describe it, Like, yeah, he's great and
Speaker 8: it's like awesome to be like what a great quarterback is, right,
Speaker 8: you know, cat, you know it's easy, but it's just
Speaker 8: like it's a challenge and I like a challenge, and
Speaker 8: it's wild. It's really wild to be in the huddle
Speaker 8: with him when you look when like when you sit
Speaker 8: back and you're like, what the hell did we just
Speaker 8: go through? But it's like it becomes second nature because
Speaker 8: you've played with him so much, or like you get
Speaker 8: reps with him, and it's fun because he really like
Speaker 8: gives a fuck about you, Like he really gives a
Speaker 8: fuck about you. And that's the best part.
Speaker 2: What a uh I see Aaron Rodger's new girlfriend we
Speaker 2: have on the thing. I don't know anything of about her.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about her. Just just just start
Speaker 2: making it up. Well, people do say shit like that.
Speaker 8: But like off the field stuff, like me, him and
Speaker 8: Alan hang out, uh every Monday and we just like
Speaker 8: order pizzas and watch the Monday night football game and
Speaker 8: sit out by his fire and we just talking.
Speaker 2: Like that's the same, like you just grow and you
Speaker 2: get to know people fire pit vibes. We're talking about that.
Speaker 8: Not too long, you know, he's probably gonna be like,
Speaker 8: you know whatever, Wait, what's he gonna say? Should we
Speaker 8: cut that out?
Speaker 2: No? Okay, keep that ship in. But like, you know,
Speaker 2: you know he's on you know, he's on McAfee.
Speaker 1: I'm on here, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, would you
Speaker 1: think he'd be done to come on the bus? We
Speaker 1: had the bus out in Green Bay?
Speaker 2: Hundred percent? Did you co host? And I said, right here, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would love for you too, right there? Yeah, okay, good?
Speaker 2: And then you know, I just and I that's the
Speaker 2: best tattoo. Hey, teach us all about the tattoo. Maybe
Speaker 2: he already has on the.
Speaker 8: He should, dude, I in the classic Like, I don't
Speaker 8: want to say, like he's just perceived by so much
Speaker 8: external bullshit. Bro, I know it's an asshole or whatever,
Speaker 8: but why like is he really hurting you or affecting you?
Speaker 1: You know how everybody wants their star quarterbacks in the
Speaker 1: NFL to be right, I mean not really different?
Speaker 2: And that's like there is me.
Speaker 1: There's like this perception of how each player has to
Speaker 1: be for the public guy.
Speaker 2: Right, I think he does get so many opinions out there.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to like I was thinking
Speaker 1: about it, but I just figure if Aaron will come on,
Speaker 1: then we can ask him. When Aaron's on here because
Speaker 1: we have him talk about it. You can see that
Speaker 1: being like, uh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't want to like headline, Yeah, I just
Speaker 8: don't want to, Like obviously, I don't want to speak.
Speaker 2: For why there's so many opinions on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 8: No, And I think it's just mostly because Yeah, I
Speaker 8: don't want to speak for anyone, but I just honestly
Speaker 8: think it's because he is great at what he does
Speaker 8: and he does it in a non traditional fashion. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and people don't like it's just an easy headline to
Speaker 8: bash him, absolutely, and that's what sucks is like.
Speaker 1: A doesn't give like traditional media much time. It kind
Speaker 1: of just like doesn't give it. He's kind of got
Speaker 1: that I don't give a fuck mentality about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, unapologetically.
Speaker 8: There you go blost and he dude, and you know,
Speaker 8: there is stuff. Every person has stuff to work on.
Speaker 8: Like he's not perfect, but he has such a good heart,
Speaker 8: like he really gives like he's player first to the
Speaker 8: death of him, Like he gives a fuck about the
Speaker 8: team and the players and like all that, and you know,
Speaker 8: like I said, everyone has stuff to work on or
Speaker 8: like get better at or people don't like this, YadA YadA,
Speaker 8: But like at the end of the day, this dude
Speaker 8: has a like a good heart and he's good at football.
Speaker 8: So you're saying want to win a super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you're saying he does want to win football games.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And again, I think the quote unquote you know misunderstood
Speaker 8: is you know, I think that's the classic you just
Speaker 8: misunderstood from the external eye. But like everyone in the building,
Speaker 8: like in the locker room, knows and cares and like
Speaker 8: understands him. But it's just weird that everyone outside doesn't.
Speaker 8: But that's the only voice that people hear.
Speaker 1: Either, best to figure out the narrative on it, which
Speaker 1: is why you get all the storylines or everything else.
Speaker 2: What do we got boys? Should we get in? It's
Speaker 2: your talk? Hang on? But before hang on, you got Jack?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Madden just released the rankings today, Mountain twenty three.
Speaker 8: That boy, that boy's a fifty three, and I'm gonna
Speaker 8: go get you and I'm gonna put you on.
Speaker 2: My practice squad. You're fucking right, baby, just pay me
Speaker 2: my money.
Speaker 6: But also they just tweeted out like thirty minutes ago
Speaker 6: the top tight ends for catching and our boys number
Speaker 6: two slotted.
Speaker 2: So hell yeah, oh ninety six catcher rating. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm probably you feel like that's valid? Yeah, no, that's valid.
Speaker 2: I mean Travis Kesey's better than you. We're tired, but
Speaker 2: you know, smart man, smart man.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean I don't even know. Yeah again,
Speaker 8: I don't care, So I don't even want.
Speaker 2: To ask George ninety one tough look, but.
Speaker 8: Like, yeah, I probably I'm probably like outside the top
Speaker 8: twenty and like overall tight ends what it?
Speaker 2: Dude does? Do we know his overall rating? Back?
Speaker 7: His overall rating I think was eighty.
Speaker 1: So you would say, you're you you think that's pretty
Speaker 1: uh spot on being five points ahead of George Kittle
Speaker 1: for the catcher rating.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because he's probably like a bunch ahead of me
Speaker 8: for like we're just trying to keep this on catcher raating. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and George, that's our headline, George, George, George, tell me
Speaker 8: I have some of the softest hands.
Speaker 1: Hey, yo, So George, you were supposed to be the
Speaker 1: one on your were you supposed to be the one
Speaker 1: for tight ending you podcast?

Speaker 1: wish George would have been here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, same here.

Speaker 1: So a few days ago, I was in that gas
Speaker 1: station that I shit on on the Shane Gillis podcast.
Speaker 2: I walked in like, and uh, I was filling in
Speaker 2: my tank and I need I needed to take it too.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, I don't know why I didn't wait
Speaker 1: to get home or wherever I was going, but I
Speaker 1: was like, well, let me just check this out. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't advise like taking a two in any kind of
Speaker 1: gas station, but when you gotta go, you gotta go.
Speaker 1: So I go in this is a small bathroom stall
Speaker 1: I'm talking to urinal a stall and a small fucking room.
Speaker 1: Right when you walk in, you can see the door
Speaker 1: to the stall and the in the toilet sideway, so
Speaker 1: you know how, you can see the crack right when
Speaker 1: you walk in, and so you could kind of see
Speaker 1: the person's legs right away, and you kind of just
Speaker 1: see him like he's like leaned up forward, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on here? And you can just
Speaker 1: like see a shirt and everything you see just like
Speaker 1: long tube. I think it is or a straw or something.
Speaker 2: And how much we know we don't know anything?
Speaker 8: Yeah, uh yeah, for sure, you're saying.
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and like you know, I kind
Speaker 1: of act like I'm taking a pissures to get a
Speaker 1: sense of its like is this dude in there shitting
Speaker 1: or is he gonna be quick or I don't know,
Speaker 1: And he's kind of just sitting there and you kind
Speaker 1: of hear his like feet go a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and I get up and just start washing my hands.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the fuck out of here. And I
Speaker 1: kind of like get knows. I'm kind of like leaning
Speaker 1: to look around. This motherfucker's got something like to his
Speaker 1: to his mouth smoking heroin. I guess getting here, I
Speaker 1: thought the heroin was like you put the thing around
Speaker 1: and you do the injection, but maybe you can so
Speaker 1: maybe it's he smoking crack. But he's just sitting there
Speaker 1: having a situation in the in the stall and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm getting the fuck out and he like and he
Speaker 1: like looked homeless, like he was like a junkie fucking
Speaker 1: in there getting high.
Speaker 2: And so I left.
Speaker 1: And this is the question, and this is the question
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you guys.
Speaker 2: We're talking from an outside for you, what's up?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they're just getting your ten Hey you're ten,
Speaker 1: but so but yeah, I'm gonna get the fuck out
Speaker 1: here and just roll it over wherever I was going.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. I don't even remember what my
Speaker 1: mission was. But my question, you guys I wanted to ask.
Speaker 1: I'm like, i'll say it for the pod is. Part
Speaker 1: of me was like, should I tell the gas station
Speaker 1: employed that someone's in there just getting high? But then
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, oh no, I'm being a fucking tattletale.
Speaker 1: But then I'm thinking, like, you know, a business owner
Speaker 1: would want some junkie and they're getting high. I didn't
Speaker 1: say anything, but what would you guys have done?
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, it's not your business, do your thing.
Speaker 8: I guess right that shot. I mean that's a point
Speaker 8: I was thinking this. Yeah, I was like, I would
Speaker 8: you do you do? Want to maybe you know, help
Speaker 8: that guy and like, you know, save his life. But
Speaker 8: then the day like he's going to do his thing. No,
Speaker 8: I wasn't one to save the dude at all. I
Speaker 8: was more like, you know what I'm saying, But it's
Speaker 8: more thinking like me who has a good heart. I'm like,
Speaker 8: you know, I don't. I wouldn't want that guy to
Speaker 8: od and die for sure.
Speaker 2: For sure. Hey man, you got a minute? Hey, you
Speaker 2: ever talked to the lord? Just knock on the door,

Speaker 2: talked to the lord? Sir? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking like from a business owner perspective, like,
Speaker 1: you know, if I want somebody to tell me, hey,
Speaker 1: there's a junkie and they're getting getting high right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd probably just leave that one alone. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: do the right thing. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Hey, coming the comment sections right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: no free shoutouts. So those two guys though, for shooting
Speaker 1: up Herolin.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no free shadow dudes at all.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, so you also had beef to pick before
Speaker 1: we get into our tier talk. Beef Rob texting me
Speaker 1: this was back when we were getting a lot of
Speaker 1: traction with the burger talk and then maybe another tear
Speaker 1: talk conversation when Taylor was talking ship on Chick fil A.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would love for him to be here for that.
Speaker 8: Come on, that's so trash, dude, he goes.
Speaker 1: When I get home, I want to get back on
Speaker 1: the bus because they got to talk to both of
Speaker 1: y'allbout some of you guys are selections and tear talk.
Speaker 1: Now we haven't spoken. We haven't spoken about the tear
Speaker 1: talk since then? What would you like to say to
Speaker 1: us about that?
Speaker 8: Oh, you hated in and out right? Yeah, I should
Speaker 8: smack the funk out of you.
Speaker 2: But but but the living fucking dogs ship out of you, dude.
Speaker 8: No, But like you went into it with a negative mindset.
Speaker 8: You want In and Out to be bad before you
Speaker 8: ate it. That's a terrible perspective of going to didn't
Speaker 8: listen to the podcast?
Speaker 2: Is reality?
Speaker 1: And he didn't listen to the podcast? Did I get
Speaker 1: hype every time I go to In and Out? This
Speaker 1: last year, I've taken it upon myself to go on
Speaker 1: this journey of figuring out what burger I actually love
Speaker 1: the most because.
Speaker 2: I'm easily infious. I love like a lot of shit.
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys who can go into any
Speaker 1: movie and I'll walk out back man, that show is awesome,
Speaker 1: right boys, and everybody be like no. But same with
Speaker 1: like food. I love all food, and I think every
Speaker 1: burger's fucking awesome. Like if I'm on text, if I'm
Speaker 1: in Texasus, I'm like, Hey, what a burger.
Speaker 2: That's just fire.
Speaker 8: So you just want to hype up the group so
Speaker 8: you're not really yourself, You're just no.
Speaker 2: I love I love the burgers.
Speaker 1: I love the burgers, but I love nothing more than
Speaker 1: to kind of start some ship amongst the fellas in
Speaker 1: the locker room when you got text there, like hey,
Speaker 1: in and out it's kind of trash, right boys in Texas.
Speaker 2: US, And they start arguing. Then you walk off and
Speaker 2: go take a shower. But you're a scumbag. And I
Speaker 2: texted you guys said I think you're just no. So listen,
Speaker 2: you got some good tea and I go ahead, they're fake.
Speaker 1: So if you listen to the pod this past year,
Speaker 1: when I decided to like, I'm gonna be intentional about
Speaker 1: trying these burgers for real, because when I played in Oakland,
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to go to in an out burger, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm loving it.
Speaker 2: With the yeah it shit fucking rips. Boys.
Speaker 1: I do think it's a good burger. Okay, what don't
Speaker 1: you like about it? I don't think it's great. I
Speaker 1: don't think and I again I've explained this in great details.
Speaker 2: It's not a gourmet burger.
Speaker 7: I'm not.
Speaker 2: We're not sitting here trying to say scourremet burgers.
Speaker 1: Now, if you want five guys that'll talk to you
Speaker 1: a little different, five guys is fucking fire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, five guys is up there. Yes, I'm yeah.
Speaker 1: When I try the in and out burger, the consistency
Speaker 1: from the from the butt, from the bun that goes
Speaker 1: down into the ingredients, yeah, breaks right before you get
Speaker 1: to the edge. I like mine a little more of
Speaker 1: like a a buttered style bun to where you get
Speaker 1: some mush that goes down into your bite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing that breaks right before you get to the ingredients.
Speaker 2: And to me, that is where in and out? How
Speaker 2: do you? What do you? Can you tell me your
Speaker 2: order it in and out? So I just double double?
Speaker 2: That's it?
Speaker 1: Well, I get double double, you get fries. Yeah, animals
Speaker 1: get animal style, right, yeah, which to get soggy.
Speaker 2: Oh what are you gonna say so you don't get it?
Speaker 2: Well done? No, no, no, I'm talking about the burger. We're
Speaker 2: talking about the projecting. I'm projecting me. I okay, so
Speaker 2: you can go. I think you should go.
Speaker 8: Next time you go, okay, you should get a you know,
Speaker 8: three by three see triple.
Speaker 2: I will never do that in my fucking life. I
Speaker 2: used to do for it, but I'll never do it
Speaker 2: in my life.
Speaker 8: But get the animal style on the burger. So all
Speaker 8: those ingredients, what do you mean by that? What do
Speaker 8: you mean by that? Get the animal style on the burger?
Speaker 8: I listen, I think in and out is good. No
Speaker 8: play a villain again. And that's what I was trying
Speaker 8: to Now. I think you were just Yeah, that's because part.
Speaker 1: Of you, like when you're arguing with your boy, Like
Speaker 1: when I'm arguing with Taylor and he like tries to
Speaker 1: shit on five guys or something else, there's like a
Speaker 1: there's like a war going on.
Speaker 2: It's more of like a long game.
Speaker 1: And then when the Internet starts to be on somebody's side,
Speaker 1: you got to start using that.
Speaker 2: You're just creating conflict.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if people who actually the tier ones out
Speaker 1: there who listen to the pod, they already know that
Speaker 1: this conversation was had, right, what's on social media?
Speaker 2: Like, that's just a different game, right, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 8: You know, I get that, I get that, but you
Speaker 8: also want to get that great Yeah, oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 8: not out here saying like in and Out is the
Speaker 8: best burger, but like what you were perceiving it, you
Speaker 8: were acting like in and Out was trash. And that's
Speaker 8: why I was like, come on, man.
Speaker 1: I I I understand that angle.
Speaker 2: You have like such a good platform and you're just
Speaker 2: using it for the wrong reasons. No, I think that
Speaker 2: was a good I'm just hilted.
Speaker 1: I think that was a really good hilt of down
Speaker 1: because you have five guys that is gas though, like
Speaker 1: gasoline like Shakeshak Shakeshak's up there too, but in and
Speaker 1: out's up there too in a McDonald's double corbon or
Speaker 1: she smacks too.
Speaker 2: You are not wrong about that.
Speaker 8: I love auburt I'm with you, like, but I don't
Speaker 8: even think there's a bad burger, Like I wouldn't even
Speaker 8: be able to do a tier with that.
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. Yeah, because they're all on that. But
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about one situation. Remember when we went to
Speaker 1: that dairy queen and that thing tomato was like this
Speaker 1: thick and then it was just like all mao, like
Speaker 1: a the workers back there didn't even look like they
Speaker 1: should be back there making burgers, right, But that obviously
Speaker 1: plays into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I am Q doesn't count. Come on, but the.
Speaker 1: C you know them them chicken tinders with the country
Speaker 1: gravy and that Texas toast.
Speaker 2: Talk to him. That's like that. Then you can go
Speaker 2: to Sonic might as well go to Sonic.
Speaker 1: Sonic is I think Sonics a solid burger as well.
Speaker 2: But you are right, I'm with you on that. There's
Speaker 2: like I love them all. Damn the chick the Chick
Speaker 2: fil A thing did upset me though, Please please speak
Speaker 2: your truth, king, What so.
Speaker 8: What did Taylor not like about it? I that was
Speaker 8: so far back. I got rid of the negativity and
Speaker 8: now I got to rehab.
Speaker 1: Taylor's thing about Chick fil A is he says it's trash,
Speaker 1: it's the worst chicken sand. But his story and background
Speaker 1: on it is that was his fast food after all
Speaker 1: the games.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so yeah, you gotta have it like warm or
Speaker 8: you gotta have it like fresh, like sitting there to
Speaker 8: get like you're saying, like to get like you're saying
Speaker 8: like I'm gonna go out and find like the best
Speaker 8: burger or you like or really get like a.
Speaker 2: Good yeah chick fil you.
Speaker 8: I was the same way, like you get it after
Speaker 8: every game you have like it's like cold and watery
Speaker 8: the things sagi.
Speaker 1: That's was raising canes, which people love canes, and I
Speaker 1: do agree that Kanes is great, but it was something
Speaker 1: I had all the rains. Yeah, And that's what made
Speaker 1: me bad about Taylor's arguments is like he goes hard
Speaker 1: when he's against something.
Speaker 2: It's caused it trash and like really hurts my feelings.
Speaker 1: And uh, but when you you haven't truly like tried
Speaker 1: to give it a shot, like Okay, I understand why
Speaker 1: you might not like it, but go to Chick fil
Speaker 1: a for real in order something.
Speaker 2: For my life. Like when so he was probably saying
Speaker 2: their fries versagi.
Speaker 8: He was probably saying the bun with hoagi, the pickles
Speaker 8: are whatever, Like go in the and go order without pickles,
Speaker 8: Like what are you talking about? Go order a fresh
Speaker 8: spicy chicken sandwich, no pickles. Add pepper Jack cheese. Put
Speaker 8: some Chick fil A sauce on that he's speaking, Dunk
Speaker 8: the waffle fries in the Polynesian sauce and get like
Speaker 8: one of those frozen lemonades. Just quit talking and then
Speaker 8: just tell them to quit talking the Chick fil A
Speaker 8: sauce it's too on the spicy chicken sandwich sauce. Yeah,
Speaker 8: Polynesian with the fries.
Speaker 2: But I like to dabble them with my fries. Oh, no,
Speaker 2: fries can go into anything. I'm just you know, speaking
Speaker 2: from the heart. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: One thing I will say that I haven't given credit
Speaker 1: out there too is the service, the customer service, which
Speaker 1: play that I think is a plus. I also feel
Speaker 1: the same way about In and Out because I think
Speaker 1: they run like that as well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're great service, Like they make the burgers fresh
Speaker 8: like right there, they're not.
Speaker 1: I give them everything, except I think the taste of
Speaker 1: the burger is not number one.
Speaker 2: It's not you know, it's not really top three. Yeah
Speaker 2: I would Yeah, I would love to think about that
Speaker 2: one more.
Speaker 1: Do it now now that you now that we've had
Speaker 1: this conversation, start going into every burger meal, Like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna intentionally see what's up, see what I.
Speaker 2: Love you guys.
Speaker 8: It's just like for five guys, you can't have it.
Speaker 8: What's good about five guys is you don't have it
Speaker 8: a lot because it's so like right thre you seeing stuff,
Speaker 8: so like when you do have it, you're like, all right,

Speaker 8: Dell Taylor, Oh my god, that shit made me laugh
Speaker 8: because like that is like a scumback, because I was
Speaker 8: about to say, I was like, I have this place
Speaker 8: called Epic Deli in my hometown that makes like wild
Speaker 8: sandwiches like the d roses, a meatball with like Dorito's
Speaker 8: on it, like just like stuff like that.
Speaker 2: It's just like makes like wild stuff like it. No
Speaker 2: one gets to know that, right, And that's what I
Speaker 2: was saying.
Speaker 8: I was like, I couldn't wait to do it, and
Speaker 8: then I thought the tailor down, I'll get roasted, dude.
Speaker 1: There was a spot in Virginia called the Delhi, Italian
Speaker 1: known mom and pop family operated, and it was incredible.
Speaker 2: We'd get sandwiches.
Speaker 1: I'm talking you could get Gouda cheese on these things
Speaker 1: and he would send you they're so Italian. When you
Speaker 1: got the we would get the sandwich. A few of
Speaker 1: us would go in there like days before a game
Speaker 1: or something like on Friday before a game, and he
Speaker 1: would give us Freaknoli's like to go. It's phenomena. But anyways,
Speaker 1: you start this thing off. Okay, can I have your tears?
Speaker 8: No? But can I just talk? I want to talk
Speaker 8: about a couple that could be in my tears that
Speaker 8: like hit.
Speaker 2: Home for me? Go ahead, I do this quite a bit.
Speaker 8: So Penn Station was Terra Hate Indiana Okay where Indiana
Speaker 8: State is, And there was one right next to the stadium,
Speaker 8: So I would hit it on the way home from practice.
Speaker 8: Fire Yeah, gasoline yeah, yea out of.
Speaker 2: Your top three.
Speaker 8: No, it could be I'm just thinking, but I'm just
Speaker 8: bey is Green Bay for me? Like if I want
Speaker 8: like a or a sandwich and soup? Yeah, I hit
Speaker 8: pop Elly's that's right next to the stadium.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I wouldn't put paneras like clubs. I think that that's
Speaker 8: more like a like a bougie yeah, just like you know,
Speaker 8: like breakfasts or quick something quick, or like the soups
Speaker 8: in the wintertime up in Green Bay.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had their front campbell soup? Have you ever
Speaker 2: read their front take? Have you ever had that? It's
Speaker 2: like a meal.
Speaker 1: I've said that a thousand times, their front take a
Speaker 1: chicken Yeah, and the same what you're talking about, like
Speaker 1: the panini. Yeah, it's called the front take a chicken.
Speaker 1: It's pretty I'd just probably just say can I have
Speaker 1: the chicken panini? Because I didn't know how to pronounce it?
Speaker 1: What's close? Kis Schlatsky's all right? Is fire?
Speaker 2: I remember I've only had it a few times in
Speaker 2: my life. I feel like the logo of that thank

Speaker 1: If you don't get GOT, you're known as the guy
Speaker 1: in your friend group that doesn't get you.
Speaker 8: We all do it to each other like like, but
Speaker 8: oh no, isn't there a restaurant that's really close to that,
Speaker 8: like something with the number fuck dude. I really am
Speaker 8: just trying to really just oh, I I feel like
Speaker 8: I've seen it well, like Quiz knows, Jimmy Johnson is
Speaker 8: like kind of like the the Taylor situation, Like I've
Speaker 8: just had it so many times in like different areas,
Speaker 8: but it's not bad.
Speaker 2: Freak fast firehouse is gasoline.
Speaker 8: I had that for the first time in Frisco when
Speaker 8: I was free draft training, and they also have one
Speaker 8: in Green Bay, but I would take Okay, Jersey Mike's's
Speaker 8: gas too.
Speaker 2: You feel like you know what you got. I don't
Speaker 2: even know.
Speaker 1: This is hard because because I'm a super you will
Speaker 1: be judged right, and I really.
Speaker 8: Off topic. My Tier one A would be a homemade
Speaker 8: s ub just saying that. But we'll go, We'll play
Speaker 8: the game. Like there's nothing like a Sunday like growing up,
Speaker 8: like watching you know, football with your dad and like
Speaker 8: just having a nice cold cut sandwich from home, like
Speaker 8: a salami, throw some chips, just watching the game with
Speaker 8: some you know, Campbell's chunky soup.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 8: And then I had publics for the first time, like
Speaker 8: not not recently, but like the last couple of years
Speaker 8: when I moved here.
Speaker 2: So you put a hardcore on on what is subs? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Damn all right, the pot belly. Okay, I'm gonna just
Speaker 8: say my top three and then I'll put them in order.
Speaker 2: Can I do that?

Speaker 8: I can eliminate. Okay, I'm gonna go Penn Station, pot
Speaker 8: Belly and Jersey Mics.
Speaker 2: Put him in order. And this is just talking the sandwich,
Speaker 2: nothing else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you want to throw some this
Speaker 1: is a hard one because there's not a variety in there.
Speaker 6: I think it's not just a sandwich, it's it's what
Speaker 6: the restaurant has to offer. Yeah, you're saying with pot
Speaker 6: Belly that my that's number one. Then it's not the
Speaker 6: best sandwich. It's just the best sandwich chain. So what
Speaker 6: do they have to offer?
Speaker 2: I like Jack, Yeah, he's good favor Yeah, get that
Speaker 2: stash too, Yeah, dirty good, dirty. Yeah.

Speaker 8: Um, yeah, so I'm gonna go with that at the
Speaker 8: Tier three Jersey Mike's just like the variety of subs.
Speaker 8: They're like, you know, the meatball, then they also have
Speaker 8: a chicken Chipotle cheese steak there. I think are a
Speaker 8: bunch of phillies as well. The meatball sub goes crazy there.
Speaker 8: I think there's just like such a variety of there's
Speaker 8: buffalo chicken ranch, you know one there. I think that's
Speaker 8: just the variety. I'm gonna go Tier two there. And
Speaker 8: then number one is pot Belly because the Italian with
Speaker 8: double meat us and no pause, double meat on the
Speaker 8: Italian with broccoli cheddar soup.
Speaker 2: And and I'm dunking that hoe and that's a good soup. Yeah.
Speaker 8: And then yeah, that's the Populay's number one, just solely
Speaker 8: based on my orders.
Speaker 1: Let's hear it. Let's hear you, man. I put some
Speaker 1: thought into this voice.
Speaker 8: And this was on the spot too, so let's hear
Speaker 8: about yours. You thought about this for a week and
Speaker 8: we got beat back here. No no, no, we came
Speaker 8: up with this today. Okay, so you've had you know,
Speaker 8: a couple of hours you could have shot me at
Speaker 8: text I could have That is on me.
Speaker 2: That is on me.
Speaker 1: We did tell you before the pot started. So you've
Speaker 1: had like an hour and a half now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: But I was talking about you know, I was getting
Speaker 8: deep into like internal stuff. You can't be I can't
Speaker 8: be thinking about it thinking about sandwiches when I'm talking
Speaker 8: about grow.
Speaker 1: Be most clear now, you know what I mean. You
Speaker 1: should have that clarity, bro, I'm hungry?
Speaker 2: Am I stopping you? Pop? Ellyst so my numbers around
Speaker 2: my bellies?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a probably around here though, Yeah in
Speaker 1: the gulch, say less I there.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, proceed all right? So public smacks though, dude,
Speaker 2: So publics.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of good jedder about publics. The
Speaker 1: boys in the back they talk it publics up high,
Speaker 1: like I am not from this world since I haven't
Speaker 1: had publics.
Speaker 2: I've had at one time and again it was after
Speaker 2: the case race.
Speaker 1: You saw the apple juice sitting out there, like I
Speaker 1: bought apple juice and I bought yeah, a public sub,
Speaker 1: a pub sub. But I didn't put thought into it.
Speaker 1: I just needed something in my stomach because I was
Speaker 1: on the version of throwing up. So I just needed
Speaker 1: something in my belly. So I have not experienced publics
Speaker 1: like that. I've seen it on the charts. There's rankings
Speaker 1: out there, there's articles that has pub sub like top
Speaker 1: three and a lot of different stuff, a lot of
Speaker 1: different headlines. But for me, uh, I do want to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to Firehouse Subs before I start.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be honorable mention. Yeah, that is my honorable mention. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what that was number four for me. Matter of fact,
Speaker 2: can we get a moment of silence for Firehouse Subs?
Speaker 2: Thank you? Okay? Can I say one thing? Go ahead?
Speaker 8: Back to like the Penn Station Tier three? Why the
Speaker 8: the length pause? Again, it doesn't matter, doubt you can get.
Speaker 8: I think that goes up to like past. I think
Speaker 8: there's sixteen inches, like I think they get you get
Speaker 8: like you know, the bang for your buck like you Yeah,
Speaker 8: and their fries are good on Sundays.
Speaker 6: In my college town in Knoxville, I swear this is
Speaker 6: why pen Station closed down. But you could buy one,
Speaker 6: get one free on Sundays.
Speaker 7: So right, the twelve inch and you get a free
Speaker 7: twelve inch selve. You're set for the whole.
Speaker 8: Day, right, it was the best on Sundays, yes, and
Speaker 8: then the fries were incredible.
Speaker 1: I never had Penn Station. I would love to try it.
Speaker 1: Based on the way you guys were talking about East
Speaker 1: Coast sub. Okay, but I'm really good. I feel good
Speaker 1: about my list now. I wanted to give my shout
Speaker 1: out to Firehouse subs no for shotouts, of course, because
Speaker 1: I do love Firehouse.
Speaker 2: I think they have a.
Speaker 1: Banger uh not the hook and Ladder. Maybe it's just
Speaker 1: called the Firehouse. It's like ham turkey, roast beefs add
Speaker 1: bacon to it, get the works, put on it, all
Speaker 1: the stuff.
Speaker 2: You would be a roast beef guy.
Speaker 1: I think roast beef just comes on the sandwich. Maybe
Speaker 1: it doesn't have roast beef. Roast beef is probably definitely
Speaker 1: the lowest on the deli meats for sure, but that's
Speaker 1: just what comes on that sandwich. And then they have
Speaker 1: all the all the hot sauces to choose from. But
Speaker 1: my Tier three, I've been going back and forth on
Speaker 1: this because I think this is people get you. People
Speaker 1: fucking out to get you, depending on how low some
Speaker 1: of your tears are, that like, oh, that should be
Speaker 1: your fucking tier one. Then I would have went with you.
Speaker 1: And it's like, listen, we're trying to rate the greatest sandwiches.
Speaker 2: You don't need external validation. It's all internal.
Speaker 1: You're right, But doing a podcast and living on Twitter,
Speaker 1: you kinda I'm trying to get to a million followers.
Speaker 1: So but my tier three, I'm gonna go with Jimmy
Speaker 1: Johns for a cold sub. I'm going to Jimmy John's
Speaker 1: freaky fast, freaking good.

Speaker 6: to him Jack, that will take you know.
Speaker 7: I might get drugs if you're with us boys. Yes,
Speaker 7: subs were just it's easy. We have all grown up
Speaker 7: having them. If I have to go.

Speaker 7: You're running through there.
Speaker 6: Jimmy Johns in college, in and out in five minutes,

Speaker 6: Tier three For me, though, what didn't even mention even
Speaker 6: in conversation with all but is witch Witch?

Speaker 7: order down.
Speaker 6: That's a fun experience. Yeah, fun experience experience. Yeah, man,
Speaker 6: you get creative with that and they yell it easily.
Speaker 6: I like a good Witchwitch sub a while. So I
Speaker 6: don't know if that's part of the reason it's just
Speaker 6: in my brain. Number two for me is going to
Speaker 6: be the pub sub. From a cost perspective, it's it's
Speaker 6: so cheap for so much food. Love the Italian a
Speaker 6: hallowed sub. There is the chicken tinder sub. You have
Speaker 6: to be tossing some buffalo if you're into that kind
Speaker 6: of thing. They they do it.
Speaker 7: It's quality, fresh bread every day. So love a good
Speaker 7: pub sub.
Speaker 6: And for me, Tier one is gonna have to be
Speaker 6: Jersey Mikes because it's something I grew up with, kind
Speaker 6: of like your subway, which I also grew up the subway,
Speaker 6: and the subway smell alone as a kid, would sell you.
Speaker 7: You walk in there and you're like, some it's a drug.
Speaker 2: It's something.
Speaker 6: Subway, though, is not on my list, not even close,
Speaker 6: even though I'd had it two weeks ago. I don't Jared,
Speaker 6: but number one, Jared, Yeah, that's a whole nother.
Speaker 7: Yeah we can get into lay.
Speaker 1: Hey, why not even close? Can we talk about that?
Speaker 1: Can we dive in?
Speaker 7: I think it was one of those things as a kid.
Speaker 2: It was so good.
Speaker 6: It was like Mom's like, yeah, we're gonna get Subway.
Speaker 6: It's like you go in there just for a smell.
Speaker 6: It was amazing, and then as you grew up, it
Speaker 6: was almost like, uh, I thought lungs on Tuesdays. But
Speaker 6: the thing is now there's no they They like dollars
Speaker 6: you and get a foot long sub but subway you
Speaker 6: keep a drink. You're coming out of there, like twelve dollars.
Speaker 6: It's like back in the day, I get almost you know,
Speaker 6: two and a half subs for this, like what happened?
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, prices went up until and hit hard.
Speaker 7: Yeah all time. I but I don't know sub boys.
Speaker 6: Like it's like when you rewatch a movie when you
Speaker 6: were a kid that used to love and you're also like, yo,
Speaker 6: this movie's ass, Like it does not hold up over time,
Speaker 6: like it's just not there anymore, but like you still
Speaker 6: appreciate it for what you had as a childhood.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like, damn, what a what a movie?
Speaker 6: If you watch and you're like, man, like if I
Speaker 6: was a kid and there's like a grown man dresses
Speaker 6: a clown trying to steal my dog, like me and
Speaker 6: my homie's just gonna beat this dude's ass, Like the
Speaker 6: story doesn't hold up, but over time, yeah, appreciate it
Speaker 6: for what it was Anyways, fact to number one Jersey
Speaker 6: Mike's great selection of subs, quality ingredients. I love their
Speaker 6: breads and never like stale, and it's never too soft.
Speaker 6: It's like right during that equally rium of perfect bread
Speaker 6: to me. So yeah, I don't know subs in general,
Speaker 6: I'll eat all of them.
Speaker 2: I wish I.
Speaker 6: Could put pop Belly in mine, but I just haven't
Speaker 6: had as much experience with pop Belly. I've only had
Speaker 6: it like two or three times, So I can't with
Speaker 6: a clean conscious put that in there because it's just
Speaker 6: not my sub.
Speaker 7: But I think I might go get it later.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was thinking about doing with public,
Speaker 1: So I'm like everybody in the back would know I'm
Speaker 1: kind of fraudulent by claiming pubs up.
Speaker 6: The only the only issue with pub subs is you
Speaker 6: have to go into a grocery store and it just
Speaker 6: kind of the line can be long. It takes you know,
Speaker 6: it takes away from the experience almost Someone's like next,
Speaker 6: You're like, yo, can I get a pound of salami?
Speaker 7: And it's like, I'm just trying to get this sub
Speaker 7: in there either. Yeah, you got a.
Speaker 8: Holler a guy good, Like when you're going grocery shopping there,
Speaker 8: and then you're like, I'm just gonna go sub.
Speaker 2: On the way out so you don't eat your groceries already.
Speaker 7: Sure, yeah you can go for a two for one
Speaker 7: that it's money.
Speaker 1: But what I do appreciate about this to your talk
Speaker 1: and conversation is just that everybody's paying homage to fucking
Speaker 1: every brand out there because.
Speaker 2: No negativity, dude, negativity, no negative vibes.
Speaker 1: Boys, But Jack, I like, I definitely understand that angle
Speaker 1: of subway. It's like, now that I'm thirty two, I
Speaker 1: rarely go into a subway, but I would feel I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think my younger self would not be
Speaker 1: proud of the man I am today if I didn't
Speaker 1: like pay how much the subway, what it did for
Speaker 1: my life growing up.
Speaker 7: And I got subway two weeks not even two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: What did you get? What'd you get?
Speaker 6: I got the uh the spicy Italian.

Speaker 6: There's some spinach, red onion, jalapenos, banana, pepper's.
Speaker 7: Little uh sach.
Speaker 2: There's zero lettuce are green, there's plant touching.
Speaker 6: The boy got rid of spicy mustard on their sauce menu.
Speaker 6: The boy deleted spicy mustard, which to me that was
Speaker 6: that was the falling point, is when everything just went downhill.
Speaker 2: I have disagree.
Speaker 1: I think spicy mustard isn't even in the top three
Speaker 1: sauce at their spot.
Speaker 8: Okay, can I go Yeah, yeah, I would judge a
Speaker 8: place by their mustard. Mustard is like the best mondament
Speaker 8: for me. That's a good condiment to love. Yeah, like
Speaker 8: a mustard, I think sean honey, spicy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the German in me though. I just love
Speaker 2: like the grainy mustard.
Speaker 1: Too, like I'm German as well. You just scooped the
Speaker 1: soft pressed German German just scooping thinking like a quarter
Speaker 1: and a half of it was a great combo though.
