Speaker 1: It's insightful though, because not a lot It's not like
Speaker 1: we get to sit here and have this conversation and
Speaker 1: put it on a podcast, because not a lot of
Speaker 1: people understand, like what you know, how everything works, how
Speaker 1: an injury happens, like what happened in the play, How
Speaker 1: are you feeling? What is your you know, what plan
Speaker 1: are you going to take? Your course of action? Like
Speaker 1: get better? Like all that stuff people don't you know,
Speaker 1: we get to give people the nitty gritty. This episode
Speaker 1: of Busting with the Boys The Boys is presented by
Speaker 1: Barstool Sports.
Speaker 2: Bonus Pod Bonus Pod in October.
Speaker 1: Are we starting there right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we kind of already started. We've been doing it.
Speaker 2: We always do it like this anyway. So obviously those
Speaker 2: of you listening, the tier ones already know this. The
Speaker 2: Tier two's probably knows. The tier threes haven't heard this,
Speaker 2: but I'm sure some tier threes have now jumped to
Speaker 2: some Tier twos. You know what I'm saying, like a yeah,
Speaker 2: a big fan of the podcast. My wife is now
Speaker 2: in the in the building. You're wondering we have a crowd,
Speaker 2: Well you got a crowd. It's our first life on
Speaker 2: this graduation. That's awesome, Thank you, thank you. Any way
Speaker 2: you want to slice it, you need to subscribe. I'm
Speaker 2: busting with the boys. You need to raid five stars,
Speaker 2: you need to comment. But the thing is is this
Speaker 2: is this is a podcast. I know, so it is
Speaker 2: what it is. But I made the promise to not
Speaker 2: do podcasts during the season. You never made that promise.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we're good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now you have to be careful about what you say
Speaker 2: because you have to see Vrabel every day, no question,
Speaker 2: because of like COVID protocols. It's way different for me
Speaker 2: on IR I'm barely in the building at all. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I'm kind of living Scott free right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if you've seen it, but
Speaker 2: the boy's been a little more on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Oh I've noticed. I've enjoyed it. Have you really enjoyed it?
Speaker 1: I see you embracing it. Changed your name, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I don't understand this.
Speaker 2: Jerry is Jerry Ainsworth. It's my alter ego to my
Speaker 2: depression because I don't quite feel the same anymore, just
Speaker 2: a little different now, is that what we're doing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a little sad. My nay doesn't work.
Speaker 1: So it is that like you're in the house kind
Speaker 1: of a family thing. No, that's inside joke.
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. When you deal with something like an injury,
Speaker 2: you have lots of ways you can go down it.
Speaker 2: Most of the time the road to anyway you take.
Speaker 2: His travels and some sort of depression.
Speaker 1: Right, we're headed there.
Speaker 2: I'm on a bullet train there. But I'm handling things
Speaker 2: really well. You are. But also I meet most things
Speaker 2: with humor. And what's the best way. Taylor's not sad,
Speaker 2: but Jerry, Jerry's a very sad boy.
Speaker 1: Oh that's how you play into it. Yeah, okay, here's
Speaker 1: a different alterar. You go, what's the what's the last name?
Speaker 1: Is that it like a real person?
Speaker 2: No, because I say it English names.
Speaker 1: I did google it and I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: guess this isn't like I saw some description. I'm like,
Speaker 1: but it's not your bio whatever you said?
Speaker 2: Yeah that I well, I'm sure there's not a guy
Speaker 2: that has a Wikipedia pacee for slipping at a costo.
Speaker 2: And no, I didn't know if he's like some comedian
Speaker 2: made facade that I've done in my own head.
Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was like something in a movie.
Speaker 2: Nope, that's that's that's just exactly what.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yes, I've seen you've embraced Twitter. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been on Twitter a little bit. Hey, even Taylor Taylor's
Speaker 1: been on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Taylor told me the other day She's like, I'm way
Speaker 2: funnier than you are on Twitter, and I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: you probably are. She says things to me and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, and then she posts in it's a hit.
Speaker 2: She smacked buck Rising today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I saw something about the IR Yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's crazy and she just ran up there. But it's
Speaker 1: crazy what a few retweets does to you. No doubt
Speaker 1: she gets on the tailor bitch HBO. They did kind
Speaker 1: of hit too.
Speaker 2: I think the funniest part of her doing anything on
Speaker 2: Twitter is that she never tags me. She just talks
Speaker 2: about me, like I'm not liking her life and we
Speaker 2: don't follow each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you guys are only like two or three
Speaker 1: letters off, just two just two letters. Sorry, you know

Speaker 2: if I didn't have to carry you for the last
Speaker 2: year and half of this podcast.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's not working. That it's not working.
Speaker 2: My knees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your knees couldn't take the pressure.

Speaker 2: does not have COVID in it because we follow guidelines
Speaker 2: that we follow. You see a little twists and turn
Speaker 2: right there. Yeah, but no, you're welcome for giving you
Speaker 2: a presence outside of football. You're welcome for getting you
Speaker 2: back on the teams. Do you know really like what
Speaker 2: happened when guys were getting knocked off during camp? What
Speaker 2: was going on? Verybel texted me, he said, what do
Speaker 2: you think about Will? And I was like, you got
Speaker 2: to deal with what comes with him, the baggage, always
Speaker 2: constantly on social media trying to get attention. And he said,
Speaker 2: you know what, we should flip the coin. So I
Speaker 2: went to his office. We fip the corn and here
Speaker 2: you are.
Speaker 1: And now you're welcome. Now your name is Jerry on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm going through a mild depression because my
Speaker 2: knee blew out. So are you saying my friend couldn't
Speaker 2: carry his own weight? So I had to put some
Speaker 2: of my fucking back.
Speaker 1: Bro. You know what, I'll give this because you're really
Speaker 1: lashing out. You're saying a lot of false things.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: You're saying a lot of false things that you think
Speaker 1: you're responsible for my identity outside of football.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I am hurting.
Speaker 1: I know you are. I'm lashing out. I know you
Speaker 1: are right now.
Speaker 2: It's a hard deal. When you're seventy two hours out.
Speaker 2: It's tough. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm reading kill myself, no question, I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I am there. Sometimes I thought you I thought that
Speaker 1: was in your book?
Speaker 2: Did not? But I looked at him a little bit,
Speaker 2: so I glanced through it. I glanced through it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the boy tours a cl.
Speaker 2: So this is going great.
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's start and explain what happened.
Speaker 2: Uh, all right, So we're playing. We're obviously play in
Speaker 2: the Houston, Texans this this past week, and we called
Speaker 2: the screen to AJ. Vrabel always talks about not talking
Speaker 2: about scheme and stuff, but we called a screen to AJ.
Speaker 2: So I took three hard steps down, went out and
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. I haven't even watched the
Speaker 2: play since then. But AJ is supposed to press up
Speaker 2: and then go back and so he can get the ball,
Speaker 2: and then I'm supposed to pick off the guy that's
Speaker 2: blocking him. I'm pretty sure the guy was pressed. Was
Speaker 2: he pressing? Did they show that in film today? He
Speaker 2: was pressed? He skipped it good. I appreciate that. That
Speaker 2: was the test. So I go out there and the
Speaker 2: guys all hung up over AJ, and so I go
Speaker 2: to dive. I go to plant and dive to get
Speaker 2: this kind of like trying to save the play. And
Speaker 2: when I went to plant, I heard like this loud
Speaker 2: pop and a tear, and I was like, like, I
Speaker 2: just I grabbed my leg and I'm like, fuck, dude,
Speaker 2: and here I am. I'm like, okay, you're a pretty
Speaker 2: dramatic cat, Like is this am I really being like?
Speaker 2: This is a real thing? And so I at first,
Speaker 2: I was like it was so hot, Like I never
Speaker 2: really had like a big injury before, Like I dissocated
Speaker 2: my elbow in twenty twelve, and when I did that,
Speaker 2: like it was like out out, like they had to
Speaker 2: reset it back in, but I didn't need surgery or anything.
Speaker 2: So like, but when I did it, my arm was
Speaker 2: super hot. And when I like when I planted and
Speaker 2: I felt like that tear and rip, I my leg
Speaker 2: all of a suddenly got super super hot, and so
Speaker 2: I thought I disocated my knee or something like or
Speaker 2: my leg, and so I went and grabbed it and
Speaker 2: was feeling it and I was like, Okay, well, hopefully
Speaker 2: it's not the ac Hopefully it's just the outside because
Speaker 2: I felt like the outside where I felt like it
Speaker 2: kind of like rip and so I'm laying there it
Speaker 2: kind of it didn't hurt. It was the weirdest thing,
Speaker 2: Like I think I was adrenaline was obviously movement, but
Speaker 2: I didn't it didn't hurt at all. And the doctor
Speaker 2: came out and like Raba was there, Todd was there,
Speaker 2: a couple other trainers there. And the doctor came out
Speaker 2: and he grabs my leg and he does like the
Speaker 2: test and uh, anybody who's never had their ACL chick.
Speaker 2: It's like you grab under the hamstring and you grab
Speaker 2: the calf and then you you try to move the
Speaker 2: calf forward and if you feel like a clicking, that
Speaker 2: that's the AC grab a cl grabbing. And if it doesn't,
Speaker 2: then that's a you know possibility the a c L
Speaker 2: is out there. Well, the doctor picks up my leg
Speaker 2: and tests it one time, like one little yank, nothing hurt,
Speaker 2: nothing at all, puts my leg back down. He just
Speaker 2: he won yanked.
Speaker 1: He's not sitting there like you know, we just he
Speaker 1: went over there, grabbed it, pulled it and he he
Speaker 1: like pulled it. He goes put him down and.
Speaker 2: Put my leg down and I said, is it my
Speaker 2: a cl is a torn? And he goes on. He
Speaker 2: the doctor says, I'm not saying anything right now, which
Speaker 2: obviously means absolutely here a cl is torn. What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But I was like, uh, I was like check it again.
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta. Like. I was like, now I'm
Speaker 2: not kind of panicking, but no, no, no, just check it again,
Speaker 2: because I had a scare like this year three did
Speaker 2: Marco Murray cut a guy into my legs and they
Speaker 2: checked it and they said you tore your a cl
Speaker 2: and ended up just being a bone. I didn't even
Speaker 2: tear anything, and so I'm like, you gotta check it again,
Speaker 2: like just please check it again, kind of getting panicky,
Speaker 2: and he he looks at me and he's like, uh,
Speaker 2: he goes, I don't have to check it again, and
Speaker 2: I was like, fuck, dude. So they like, let's get
Speaker 2: him up. So they get me up and I'm walking
Speaker 2: and I'm kind of just like as I'm walking, I'm
Speaker 2: like walking towards our sideline, but I'm looking up at
Speaker 2: the sweets because like my wife's in a suite. I'm
Speaker 2: like kind of just looking to see where she's at
Speaker 2: because I'm like, I'm in fucking panic mode. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. You have all these plans for a
Speaker 2: comeback season after doing a getting a ped last year
Speaker 2: and all that, and you think like it really hadn't
Speaker 2: hit me. It still hasn't hit me yet that I'm
Speaker 2: out for the season. I think I like for sure
Speaker 2: hit Sunday. It hurt. It hit a little bit yesterday
Speaker 2: when we were talking, but I was I was like
Speaker 2: walking up looking like looking for any sort of like
Speaker 2: comfort to any like person that I know, like that
Speaker 2: could possibly give me because I felt like so alone
Speaker 2: in that moment or whatever. And we go into the
Speaker 2: blue tent and the doctor comes in. I think I
Speaker 2: think his name is doctor Petty's dude. He's a good dude.
Speaker 2: And he's like, I do you want me to check
Speaker 2: it again? I was like, yes, please check it again,
Speaker 2: and so he grabs it, yanks on it twice, goes
Speaker 2: to my other leg. He puts my leg down and
Speaker 2: he goes your your a CL's gone. It's like it's
Speaker 2: not there, and like, uh, I like grabbed the dude.
Speaker 2: He was like wearing this windbreaker and I grabbed him
Speaker 2: and I pulled him into me and I just started
Speaker 2: fucking letting loose. Just absolutely started bowling my eyes out,
Speaker 2: just overwhelmingly crying, like the like the sob, like the
Speaker 2: loud sobb man, like a good bitch cry. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Just let it out, dude, like absolutely
Speaker 2: just fucking was like it just sucked. It just sucked.
Speaker 2: At that moment. I was like, you just feel so helpless,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, like everything kind of moves on,
Speaker 2: and it was super. He got weirder from there, like
Speaker 2: I got my helmet. I put my helmet on because
Speaker 2: IM like I don't want people see me crying, like
Speaker 2: like you know, big tough guy, I gotta get go
Speaker 2: to lockdown. Already felt cool enough that I was walking
Speaker 2: on it. Shut out myself and I go to the
Speaker 2: locker room and like the doctor Like at this point,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, like I don't want to be alone,
Speaker 2: like I just got to make sure like someone's around me,
Speaker 2: so I don't like go into the the the deep
Speaker 2: dark hole where Jerry was now and now lives, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like I'm like like, fuck, I
Speaker 2: do not want to. I don't want I don't want
Speaker 2: to deal with my reality, right. I need somebody to
Speaker 2: distract me. So sal Ur Trainer, He's an awesome dude,
Speaker 2: like takes me in. I'm like I need to see
Speaker 2: my wife, like can I can? I can my wife
Speaker 2: come down here? And he's like, well no, with the
Speaker 2: protocols with COVID protocols like you can't like you can't happen.
Speaker 2: Which when I got ejected from the Packers game like
Speaker 2: three four years ago, Tailing came down. We sat in
Speaker 2: the locker room and watched the rest of the game together.
Speaker 2: So that was that was a bit of a different deal.
Speaker 2: So I was like, I text the Tail and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what sweet are you? And she told me what suit
Speaker 2: she was in. So I'm like, I'm going up there.
Speaker 2: So I got my I got my football pants on,
Speaker 2: my socks, like, I took my took my cleats off
Speaker 2: and put like some like sour shower shoes on, and
Speaker 2: I wearing like my undershirt from the game. And they
Speaker 2: taped me up the stairs. They taped me up the
Speaker 2: elevator to the sweeter. I'm like walking by fans and
Speaker 2: like custodians and stuff and people like and they're like
Speaker 2: it's weird because they're like making people back up, Hey,
Speaker 2: you get out of the way, like making people like
Speaker 2: this as far away from me as possible because of protocols.
Speaker 2: They don't want like me to get COVID or whatever. Well,
Speaker 2: I tell you what we're selling out for Whoop because
Speaker 2: Whoop is gonna help me recover and come back faster, bigger,

Speaker 1: going through it, like go through it and like just
Speaker 1: I guess I'm it all. I don't know. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you went down were on the sideline, it was kind
Speaker 1: of the same thing, like you went in and and
Speaker 1: somebody was like, hey, a house Taylor doing. Is he
Speaker 1: all right? Like you think it's like the you know,
Speaker 1: a Taylor, like the Taylor style injury, like we'll be
Speaker 1: back out there or do you think he's actually And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, man, I need to go
Speaker 1: check on him. So you know, you go and you
Speaker 1: find out and you're just like you just you shake
Speaker 1: your head because yeah, I mean you think about everything
Speaker 1: you put into it this whole year and just busting
Speaker 1: your balls to get your stuff in a position and
Speaker 1: where you're playing good ball. The boys are five, and
Speaker 1: oh you want to be a part of it. You still,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're still part of it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then we get a ring. I'm taking full credit. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: you should have an inspiration story. And I was playing well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but even like the stuff you you know, you're
Speaker 1: coming back from this past year like or last year,
Speaker 1: like I know, it was way on your head and everything.
Speaker 1: So it's just like it just blows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds dick, Yeah it Nate. What'd you think
Speaker 2: when I when I went down? What do you think
Speaker 2: it was just another tailors joy?
Speaker 3: I mean that's what you hope for, you know, like
Speaker 3: back out there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you What do you think when when you
Speaker 2: found out?
Speaker 3: I mean during the game, you can't really think about it.
Speaker 3: You's gotta keep on moving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how you survived, survived without me.
Speaker 1: I knew. I knew it was serious when you looked
Speaker 1: up at the replay and it was a non contact
Speaker 1: injury because the non contact ones I mean a cls
Speaker 1: are like I think, uh yeah, is from non contact.
Speaker 1: So you just knew it could have been dicey from
Speaker 1: that moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that fucking sucks. It definitely do it. Just I
Speaker 2: keep like playing it over my head. It didn't even
Speaker 2: feel like it happened. I'll be like sitting here and
Speaker 2: then I'll just be thinking about the play and I'm
Speaker 2: just running and then all of a sudden it's gone.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But how's your kne been
Speaker 1: since that the play? Like since that day?
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, it's stiff right now, Like it definitely
Speaker 2: have a little more fluid in there, like my quads
Speaker 2: a little more tight, but like not a lot of
Speaker 2: swelling and like I can flex my quad and everything.
Speaker 2: Like it's doing well. Like that. I said this like
Speaker 2: on my little like two minute statement or whatever. Like
Speaker 2: it's just the a CL, which is a huge win.
Speaker 2: It's like it's not like a moniscus or MCL.
Speaker 1: Or whatever that bruising or something like the.
Speaker 2: Bone bruise is like like hardly anything at all. It's like,
Speaker 2: legit just my a CL, you know. So I mean
Speaker 2: it just fucking just a bummer. Because what's the timeline
Speaker 2: for an ACL? Six to nine months? So even if
Speaker 2: I go the full nine months, I'll be uh, I'll
Speaker 2: be back in July.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's like just going off positives, right because like how
Speaker 2: like how long do you want to sit in depression
Speaker 2: town before you just like fucking swallow a gun. So
Speaker 2: you're like you think, like, okay, what are the good things?
Speaker 2: Like Okay, well, like season I was playing well towards
Speaker 2: you at that point the season. I'm happy about that.
Speaker 2: No sex, happy about that, made a point about no penalties,
Speaker 2: happy about that, I played enough ball to where like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I you know, I feel happy about the season, but
Speaker 2: also like I didn't get hurt so late in the
Speaker 2: season where I'm being rushed back early next year, like
Speaker 2: I have, I have all the time in the world,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And so that's a huge positive.
Speaker 2: I got a great supporting cast that my wife's dope
Speaker 2: as ship, my kids are awesome, and uh yeah, you're
Speaker 2: a great You're a great Uh what was the word
Speaker 2: I used the other day? Emotional support human. So it's cool,
Speaker 2: like I got people reaching out, Like I got a
Speaker 2: buddy who's like, I didn't want I really didn't want
Speaker 2: to fly because like that just causes more inflammation, right
Speaker 2: you swallow up more. Yeah, I got a buddy who's
Speaker 2: let me use this tour bus to go down to
Speaker 2: Pittsicle to get my surgery and come back.
Speaker 1: No, we're flying just flex. Hey, wed Flex is a weird.
Speaker 2: Flex cool with the boy, the boys hooking up the boy.

Speaker 2: give me an I vegan some n A D right
Speaker 2: now getting banged, So.
Speaker 1: What's what would be the complications with like flying to
Speaker 1: get your Uh.
Speaker 2: There's no complications like people usually fly, you'll get surgery,
Speaker 2: but like it's more unneeded inflammation. It's more un needed
Speaker 2: like you know, is that right? Yeah, unnecessarily stressing your body.
Speaker 3: Like what Bubbo just said.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you both.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I go I drive down there, shout out, irritate Nashville.
Speaker 2: I go down there, get cut up, sit there, just
Speaker 2: be an absolute zombie on pills for seven days. Come
Speaker 2: back up.
Speaker 1: Oh so you're gonna be down there a week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Tuesday. They said Tuesday. It's like Saturday.
Speaker 1: Didn't tell me that.
Speaker 2: I think that's just how it goes. I'm just part
Speaker 2: of like the process.
Speaker 1: So what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: You're gonna be at football we're talking about. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you what I'm gonna be most bummed about. I
Speaker 2: can't even go to the games. I can't be on
Speaker 2: the sideliner in the games. But if if you all
Speaker 2: go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You're be working for busting. If we're in the super
Speaker 1: Bowl with pornoy walking around every piece of shop, if it's.
Speaker 2: Justin a cl I wonder how long can if you could.
Speaker 2: You can essentially come back and women the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: B February right, February Penning, no complication.
Speaker 2: November, December, January, I can come back February. You should
Speaker 2: be one play one game.
Speaker 1: You should be walking by the Oh. Yeah, yeah, play
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: I played. I play a super Yeah if it was
Speaker 2: a super Bowl tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So you think you could play if the super Bowl
Speaker 1: was Sunday? Uh, you think we get you hopped up
Speaker 1: enough on stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys would want me to play,
Speaker 2: I would be probably, I would probably be terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But.
Speaker 2: Like I was talking to our trainer, like he said,
Speaker 2: like he was like joking on, like you technically could play,
Speaker 2: like you could technically brace it. And he's like, you
Speaker 2: need a rit knee replacement, like thirty five.
Speaker 1: For a super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Now you're putting in a situation now for Super Bowl
Speaker 2: I play.
Speaker 1: I mean when you're in it, when you're in the
Speaker 1: season and stuff, you're like, you're you're brainwashed enough to
Speaker 1: think stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the season, and the season is so weird, dude.
Speaker 2: Mental warfare, daily, mental warfare. You're con all the expectations. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't even feel like the same human.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was talking to the boys before you even got here.
Speaker 2: I was like, what's it like in like the normal
Speaker 2: world right now, because like for us, like that whole
Speaker 2: COVID deal we did with two weeks ago was a
Speaker 2: fucking bit of a deal. Yeah, you know, everybody thought
Speaker 2: we did so many things wrong. It's amazing how people
Speaker 2: will just use their jump to conclusions, Matt and just
Speaker 2: fucking jump there right Like they'll just be like, we
Speaker 2: should afford forit the rest of the season, we should
Speaker 2: do that, like.
Speaker 1: I know, And a lot of people saying that are
Speaker 1: just saying and then going about.
Speaker 2: Their day like I know, you know, and they're all
Speaker 2: like tweeting like you guys, you cheating pieces shit, like oh,
Speaker 2: very one must have learned from the Patriots, Like dumb
Speaker 2: is that, Yeah, doesn't make any sense, Like it's just chaos.
Speaker 2: The thing that's wild is I bet if you looked
Speaker 2: at because of Dennis Kelly, if you looked at like
Speaker 2: the rest of the NFL's like security cameras, I bet
Speaker 2: we're doing better than probably everybody as good, if not
Speaker 2: better than everyone else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question, that's crazy, ye, Like, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just different, you know what I mean, Like you're in
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get you're gonna get rolling with like
Speaker 1: rehab and stuff, and yeah, I mean you'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like I want to. I feel
Speaker 2: I want to be a part of the team.
Speaker 1: You don't like, you won't.
Speaker 2: I won't feel like that.
Speaker 1: When I had my list Frank with the with the
Speaker 1: Washington football team and I got my list Frank, yeah,
Speaker 1: formerlane as the Redskins when I was out on i
Speaker 1: R for the rest of the year. Once you get
Speaker 1: like a few weeks into being at home, when you
Speaker 1: just can't move and stuff, like, you just don't like
Speaker 1: you as much as you want to feel a part
Speaker 1: of it, you just feel like kind of separated because
Speaker 1: you'll go in for your rehab slot, then you'll go
Speaker 1: home and sometimes, like for me, it's like they had
Speaker 1: your rehab slot when guys are in meetings or practice
Speaker 1: or something. So you go home after that and be
Speaker 1: gone by the time they get back in or around you,
Speaker 1: and so you just kind of like, you know, you're
Speaker 1: like rooting for the boys from your house. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: threw a fun little New Year's party though, Yeah, they
Speaker 1: lost to the Giants. And it was it was New
Speaker 1: Year's and uh invited everybody over through a banger, a
Speaker 1: little party banger in the year because we weren't going
Speaker 1: to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: That's a nice little deal.
Speaker 1: It was nice. It was nice.
Speaker 2: What the thing I'm I'm super worried about, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what are you worried about?
Speaker 2: Most, I'm like, if I'm being a hundred so honest,
Speaker 2: coming back is like the same dude as it was.
Speaker 2: But that's obviously my biggest fear is like can I
Speaker 2: like get have an a c L and come back
Speaker 2: and be like still the dominant football player. But honestly,
Speaker 2: the thing that makes me feel better is I to
Speaker 2: do like Jeffrey Simmons that like Johnny Smith, like Tannehill,
Speaker 2: those guys who to you. Yeah, oh dude, It's crazy
Speaker 2: how many dudes reach out to you. It's like, you
Speaker 2: don't realize how many dudes, Like I felt like the
Speaker 2: respect level bag time with like a bunch of people
Speaker 2: just reaching out, like offensive linemen, like elite offensive lineman
Speaker 2: reaching out that I really don't even know, just like
Speaker 2: giving love because it's like an offensive line family like that.
Speaker 2: That type of stuff is really like this is just
Speaker 2: cool to be like that category with those dudes to
Speaker 2: where they'd reach out to you and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you talk to so many people and they
Speaker 2: talk about ACLS and like you know what in the
Speaker 2: eighties and nineties, like that's like a career ender, right,
Speaker 2: that's like you're fucking done so and now like dudes
Speaker 2: are coming back, no problem. So like I think it's
Speaker 2: an I think it's an irrational fear, but it's still
Speaker 2: a fear, Like, yeah, you know, how long is it
Speaker 2: gonna take me? Like how am I gonna be feeling
Speaker 2: this time next year when I played it on a
Speaker 2: little bit, Like I'm gonna be sore, Like they take
Speaker 2: it out of your patella, So like do I now
Speaker 2: get like ten and nights my ptel attendants? Like what
Speaker 2: happens to that? Does that get weaker? Like how does
Speaker 2: that work? Like there's a lot of things that I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm super confused about. That's like I think a super
Speaker 2: normal and unhealthy like something to be nervous about, obviously,
Speaker 2: But yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean it's gonna be several months. You're gonna be a
Speaker 1: little journey.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a journey for sure.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's like.
Speaker 1: You haven't gotten the surgery yet.
Speaker 2: No, I surgery on Tuesday, which I don't know when's
Speaker 2: this thing coming out tomorrow? I was gonna come out tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Fuck Josh, you ready, Like we didn't pay you all
Speaker 2: that money to not be ready, but you gotta go.
Speaker 1: But yeah tomorrow. So yeah, but people will hear it
Speaker 1: and then they'll know you're getting.
Speaker 2: The thing that like, I like, we jokingly talked about
Speaker 2: depression like the middle of the being this thing, like
Speaker 2: I thought, like so like thinking back, like when I
Speaker 2: was in college and dudes, like I had a buddy
Speaker 2: named Jake Ryan towards a awesome dude, like a top
Speaker 2: notch dude, like one of my really good friends Springball
Speaker 2: towards a cl and I was like, man, if I
Speaker 2: if that ever happens to me, if like a seasoned
Speaker 2: Enny injury ever happened, and.
Speaker 1: It was one it going into the like going into
Speaker 1: he I think he tore it twice. Was he did
Speaker 1: something crazy go down? But I I just remember him specifically,
Speaker 1: like other dudes tore the A c L too. But
Speaker 1: I would think about that all the time when people
Speaker 1: would would tear it I'd be like, man, well.
Speaker 2: Like what's gonna happen to them? Like what like what
Speaker 2: like what do they go through? Like what's their like process?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: And everyone says, like you hit like a super like
Speaker 2: dark little spot. And I thought like when I would
Speaker 2: do it, I thought like the whole the wheels would
Speaker 2: fall out, the damn tracks. But like I know, it's
Speaker 2: only been like three days, but like feel super positive
Speaker 2: about it. I'm cool about laughing about it, Like it's
Speaker 2: more fun to laugh about it and like kind of
Speaker 2: be out in front of it instead of like being
Speaker 2: around people. Like I was at a meeting, a house
Speaker 2: meeting with our interior designer, April Tomlin. Shoutout April Tomlin.
Speaker 2: She's an absolute beauty. I'll love her to death. And
Speaker 2: like I saw her and we were like she was
Speaker 2: like joking with me about how I missed up a
Speaker 2: bum n. I'm a washed out football player now, like
Speaker 2: you know, like that's a much more easy route for
Speaker 2: me to cope with, Like yeah, the leg strength, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see like what happens when I get surgery,
Speaker 2: like when I can't be weight bearing for fortests like
Speaker 2: for right now, like I still feel like some power
Speaker 2: of control because I can walk around right, and like
Speaker 2: some dudes apparently can't walk around at acl. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying like I'm tougher than it or like they're still
Speaker 2: kind of attached. Like everyone has has different injuries. Some
Speaker 2: guys can't walk. I'm fortunate enough to be able to
Speaker 2: walk and move around a little bit and do some
Speaker 2: exercises to get get ready, do some pre habit. You know,
Speaker 2: I feel like when that power is taking away on
Speaker 2: my head a little dark little course, yeah road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, that's usually when that stuff comes
Speaker 1: because you're like, uh and because you're you're trying to progress,
Speaker 1: like in your mind, you know, you can do certain
Speaker 1: things and you kind of just watch your like leg
Speaker 1: or for me, when I had labor and it was
Speaker 1: my arm or foot, like you watch your leg and
Speaker 1: stuff just get smaller.
Speaker 2: I don't have my leg and getting smaller.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either, So it'll be interesting. I think
Speaker 1: we'll have a good time with that. But uh, look,
Speaker 1: poor little tank tank. Hey, you're gonna be poor little
Speaker 1: tink tank got.
Speaker 2: Some tiny little don't sleep on them though, Nate, no
Speaker 2: is this show, aren't they? Nate don't sleep on these
Speaker 2: tiny little guys. Man. But it's not like l skips
Speaker 2: legged they know.
Speaker 1: But it's like those those will be the dark times
Speaker 1: where you're just like you're just it's more like frustration
Speaker 1: because you can't do ship. Yeah, I'm like that, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like you'll have setbacks, like not everything's
Speaker 1: gonna be like the perfect plan that you set worth
Speaker 1: that you see, like you just in your mind, you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just crush this. I'm gonna do this because
Speaker 1: then one day is gonna come to where it just
Speaker 1: doesn't respond the way that should, and the trainers and
Speaker 1: therebody will be like, hey, like it's gonna be fine
Speaker 1: on patience, but you in your mind, we're just unpatient
Speaker 1: because we want to like you know, conquer something. We
Speaker 1: want to show that we're gonna be the fastest at it.
Speaker 2: That's what Todd, That's what I literally asked, how fast
Speaker 2: have you seen somebody come back from a right?
Speaker 1: We all think we're gonna set like a new pr right,
Speaker 1: and then you just get frustrat when you can't, cause
Speaker 1: you're I haven't had an a c L. I had
Speaker 1: a p c L. But I haven't had an a
Speaker 1: c L. And I've seen guys. I've seen guys like
Speaker 1: doing all the stretching and stuff, and you know that funny.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look fun.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had like a big injured Nate. Oh damn,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look for the boy around here. God that
Speaker 2: would I'll tell you what. Don't see a chance now.
Speaker 1: But like even when you I have my pc L
Speaker 1: and you're like coming back from it, it's like trusting
Speaker 1: your knee, it's like, you know, really like putting your
Speaker 1: foot in the ground.
Speaker 2: I'll do that, Like I'll go out there. I'll be
Speaker 2: like a little more like fun, like, hey, is this
Speaker 2: thing going to.
Speaker 1: Hold up right? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So what I'm one thing I'm like I need to
Speaker 2: do otherwise it's not gonna be good for me, is
Speaker 2: like make sure that like I don't I do take
Speaker 2: my time because people say, like that's like the biggest
Speaker 2: issue with people trying to come back is like they
Speaker 2: try to do things too soon and they aggravate or
Speaker 2: they do this and they get ten of ninas or
Speaker 2: some shit like that.
Speaker 1: Right, and because you you you have nothing but time,
Speaker 1: dude in your mind, you're gonna want to yeah right, yeah,
Speaker 1: like literally less.
Speaker 2: Like they're like, hey, you need to lay down, like
Speaker 2: and get every once in a while, like trying to
Speaker 2: flex your squad it keeps strong, and then go back
Speaker 2: and lay down. I'm like, I'm watching a spook last night,
Speaker 2: and the spook finishes and I go upstairs. I literally
Speaker 2: walked upstairs to see Tailor and Willow, my my youngest,
Speaker 2: and she's like, what are you?
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 2: Like you need to go downstairs. Yeah, So it's hard
Speaker 2: for me to just just sit around all day, dude,
Speaker 2: I feel like I got to do something. That's why I'm
Speaker 2: kind of stoked to do like extra podcasts, because it's
Speaker 2: like something to look forward to, something to do, you know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, Like throw in something that's like a
Speaker 1: little if you like a little maybe work towards or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well what are we gonna talk about this week?
Speaker 2: This week's obviously easy because it's just an absolute depression session.
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it's insightful though, because not a
Speaker 1: lot it's not like we get to sit here and
Speaker 1: have this conversation and put it on a podcast, because
Speaker 1: not a lot of people understand, like what you know,
Speaker 1: how everything works, how an injury happens, like what happened
Speaker 1: in the play. How are you feeling? What is your
Speaker 1: you know, what plan are you going to take? Your
Speaker 1: course of action? Like get better like all that stuff.
Speaker 1: People don't you know, we get to give people the
Speaker 1: nitty gritty.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm definitely gonna keep up on this too when
Speaker 2: we whenever we get on the pod, I'll definitely keep
Speaker 2: updates and get what's going on.
Speaker 1: Because you have to the a CL Diaries ACL podcasts.
Speaker 1: Yeah you want to call a podcast because I was
Speaker 1: gonna say you could do spins, like you know, you
Speaker 1: have Jack Garrett or Josh come over or when I'm
Speaker 1: over here, I can just whip my little I got
Speaker 1: a nice little camera piece.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you been ripping that thing around?
Speaker 1: And but you have them come over and shoot you
Speaker 1: going through whatever ACL diaries for under under the Hood
Speaker 1: a c.
Speaker 2: L DI Bobo's gonna get so much attention with that, dude.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's one thing, boys, No putting Bobo on the camera.
Speaker 1: He's been on it enough.
Speaker 2: If you put him on. If you put him on it, though,
Speaker 2: like make sure you fuzz him out like someone that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, blur him out blur he talks like you
Speaker 1: give him that deep voice thing. And if it's like
Speaker 1: with when when we're wearing the rita mask, like blur
Speaker 1: the rita Yeah we don't. Yeah, sh bleed bleed me out,
Speaker 1: I bleed me saying irritate.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what though, dude, this this n A
Speaker 2: d definitely helps with information for sure. That's why IM
Speaker 2: gonna come back super fast in this juve light. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be game busters. But yeah, that's my biggest fear
Speaker 2: is like coming back the same dude, I know we have.
Speaker 2: We've been like five minutes past. That's that's topic.
Speaker 1: That's like the one you feel us uh slowly stopping
Speaker 1: a conversation. You probably glance at me. I'm like scrolling
Speaker 1: on my phone real quick, and you just think like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's probably my biggest fear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Jerry tripping about that, Poor Jerry, what.
Speaker 1: Are there certain things you gonna do? Are you gonna
Speaker 1: are you gonna be here the whole time? When when
Speaker 1: you do come build.
Speaker 2: In the house right now? So when the house will
Speaker 2: be built sooner rather than later, But yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: try to stay here.
Speaker 1: So Taylor's just gonna be grinding. Huh, Taylor's just gonna
Speaker 1: be grinding. What you mean, mom, get make sure the
Speaker 1: house get together.
Speaker 2: No doubt Tailing the tailoring. Tailing's a fucking grinder, dude,
Speaker 2: she cares so much. Well, we got Tailor's moms in
Speaker 2: town too. Miss Tanna shot out Miss Tanna for being
Speaker 2: the most epic mother in law of all time. She
Speaker 2: crushes it. She basically did all that spook in the backyard.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't wait for people to see see the spook,
Speaker 1: to see that. Is it finally done?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, I must stay here. The
Speaker 2: whole time. I thought about leaving him, like just booking
Speaker 2: out of here and just like going on like a
Speaker 2: vision quest, maybe doing some peyote out in the deserts
Speaker 2: in Mileaguasca out with a fucking try.
Speaker 1: But I was assuming you were going through. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if he's gone, he could be gone, he could be
Speaker 1: gone the entire time.
Speaker 2: Let's just be back in July.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I thought about it.
Speaker 2: I thought about just dipping, but you have this house coming.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: This podcast is like a little bit of a a
Speaker 2: therapeutic deal for me. And then like I really want
Speaker 2: to be around the boys, like whether I'm around or not,
Speaker 2: Like I'm not gonna be around around, but like if
Speaker 2: I can just be like around you or like see
Speaker 2: Derek wants Ate, like Nate's over at the house just
Speaker 2: getting IV right now because Nate fucking rips and he
Speaker 2: wants to see the boy.
Speaker 1: Is it hot down here?
Speaker 2: Nate to talk about it? Don't talk about it. He
Speaker 2: will lose it if you start talking about his sweat, Dude,
Speaker 2: he will. It'll be like Noah's ark in this motherfucker.
Speaker 2: It'll just starts, It'll start sweating too much.
Speaker 1: Oh so now you're gonna start sweat even more. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get a little nervous.
Speaker 2: Hey, talk about it.

Speaker 2: Today is Wednesday, so Sunday and Monday. I was definitely
Speaker 2: in the fucking dumps about Spootober Spootober. But I'm still
Speaker 2: embracing it. You Halloween when it is Halloween? Probably I got.
Speaker 3: Around.
Speaker 1: No, maybe thirty first is Saturday, I'll be.
Speaker 2: I'll be driving back on Saturday. That's a fucking kick
Speaker 2: in the testicle.
Speaker 1: Yo, that is a kick in the testes.
Speaker 3: I mean it is what it is, dude.
Speaker 1: Honestly, you can watch a spook in the in the
Speaker 1: tour bus. Yeah.
Speaker 2: My daughter she's been just running around in a spider
Speaker 2: costume for last two days.
Speaker 1: At least we have her.
Speaker 2: Spook so much, dude. She she everything she sees like,
Speaker 2: oh spooky. She's fully embraced the spook when totally rips.
Speaker 1: Have you seen how much how much love Spootober has
Speaker 1: been getting this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, it's been when you do those like right now,
Speaker 2: I like, lately I've been thinking, I wonder how those
Speaker 2: pods are doing, Like, are people over the spooks?
Speaker 1: Over?
Speaker 2: But people have fully bought in.
Speaker 1: I feel like people are fully bought in.
Speaker 2: For sure, you kind of over you don't want to?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if we should do four how
Speaker 1: many things we should do eight?
Speaker 2: I think we should do four, but four more than
Speaker 2: we did last time.
Speaker 1: I think I think everyone should still be Halloween themed,
Speaker 1: but I think knocking them all out the way we
Speaker 1: did in July that was tough to do. We should
Speaker 1: do that a little differently. People don't get we did
Speaker 1: those back to back to back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's tough on Jack Garrett and the boys
Speaker 2: to go and do the bus and not do the bus.
Speaker 2: Do the bus and not do the bus.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, do it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll uh you know what during during this offseason.
Speaker 2: Will definitely take a poll, maybe a vote, see how
Speaker 2: people feel about me doing a podcast. Okay, and even
Speaker 2: if they say yes, I probably still won't do.
Speaker 1: It, Yeah, because it's different when when when, like right.
Speaker 2: Now, I got more worries. I'm not stressed out about
Speaker 2: the Steeler, you know what I'm saying, Like that's like
Speaker 2: the only thing I'm not stressed about playing an opponent
Speaker 2: this week. I'm not worried like, oh, how am I
Speaker 2: going to do? What are they going to say? Like
Speaker 2: are the coaches going to think I'm distracted if I'm
Speaker 2: doing a podcast like it don't matter, yeah, because my
Speaker 2: knee don't.
Speaker 1: At the same time, you're thinking about what other people
Speaker 1: are thinking.
Speaker 2: I mean it, it'd be easy to argue that because
Speaker 2: I just said that. But but I don't know how
Speaker 2: much I actually, like, would care, like with fans, like
Speaker 2: I would more care about what my coaches and stuff think,
Speaker 2: Like when you know what bleep that not bleep when
Speaker 2: I say saying no free shoutouts? Yeah too, they'll just
Speaker 2: bleep it when I say it can it's more work
Speaker 2: to do, Josh, that's more work to do there. Like
Speaker 2: when they were hating on me for doing pods while
Speaker 2: I was suspended last year, it was like I didn't
Speaker 2: really care. I thought that was more of a reflection
Speaker 2: of our record and how like and that, Like I
Speaker 2: think anybody who's around me knows I take football seriously.
Speaker 1: Yeah so yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So outside of perspective doesn't really matter. It's the ones
Speaker 2: that I'm around it to work with every day. Like
Speaker 2: I have an obligation to my boss John Robinson and
Speaker 2: Vrabel to make them feel like I'm fully locked in.
Speaker 2: Even if even if I could be locked in doing
Speaker 2: a podcast and a season, like, I'm better off not
Speaker 2: doing it. You know what I'm saying. It's just a
Speaker 2: smarter move.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It is a smarter move, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe we'll do this October pods, you know,
Speaker 1: in the summer again, and then I could do one
Speaker 1: one a week and the Thursday. Yeah, keep it updated.
