17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: seven with a chance to win the division. What's the

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: prevailing energy or thought about how things are going and

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 1: you know how exciting it would be to still win

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: this division? Yeah, I think, Um, you know, everything is

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: in front of us, which is amazing. You know, we

22

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,880

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a chance to really, you know, sit down, take a

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: deep breath, come back in this thing, and uh, you know,

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,640

00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, have to fight. We have to fight for

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: what we want. And I think everybody you know has

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: been showing that throughout the week. Do you exercise during

33
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: the bye, Joe, or were you just kind of sitting

34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: on the couch with one hand in your pants chasing

35
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: the kids around? Man, you guys should have saw if

36
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: somebody could have took a picture of me. I had

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: ice cream, you know, coming down, you know, dripping down

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: my hand, just hanging out. Boy. Oh yeah, man, I

39
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: was big chilly. Did you prepare any food? Because I

40
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: was creeping on your Instagram and it was an older picture,

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: but I had never crept on your Instagram before, but

42
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I have now and it looked like you had made

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: a pound cake that was gorgeous. Do you have some

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: top secret baking skills that you want to tell us about.

45
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: So that pound cake is my mom's secret recipe. And uh,

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: during quarantine, we were sitting around and I'm like, Mom

47
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: showing me how to make this pound cake, and uh,

48
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: you know, we went and bought everything at the store

49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: and uh we came back and uh, you know, there

50
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: was a sub trial in error for sure. Uh you know, um,

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: like I tell everybody, you know, I went to school

52
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: and studied football for a living, and uh, you know baking,

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of gotta gently crack those eggs

54
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: and whatnot. So there was definitely, you know, a different

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: different side and me coming out during that. But man,

56
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you my mom's got all the recipes. Hey, Joe,

57
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to know if you could handicap a fight

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: for us? Could Mark? Could Joe Judge take Mark Colombo

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: in a fight there in New York if he had to?

60
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, Man, I don't because have

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: you seen Colombo? I know that's I'm saying. This man

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: is so big and uh, if you really you should

63
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: go watch some of his music videos if you really

64
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: want to see how big Yeah rock out here? Man,

65
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if anybody, I mean the

66
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: dude six eight, I mean he's not playing ball. Yeah,

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you got no shot. It's the Joe Looney

68
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Show right here on one oh five three the fan. Okay,

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense. They've lost some big names, Joe, but

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: it looks like they're playing pretty good. What's important for

71
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: beating them here as we head towards the end of

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: the week, I think we got to match their intensity. Uh.

73
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: If you if you turn on this film and watch

74
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: these guys, one of the things they do really well

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: is just they they they play with an intensity and

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: uh you know, uh, they're gonna get to the football

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: and be around and I think we got to match that, um,

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, just from an offensive standpoint, making sure we're

79
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: staying on our blocks and giving you know, Zeke and

80
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: uh Andy enough time to work back there and hit

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the receivers. So we definitely got to match their intensity

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, show up to play some ball. Yeah, Joe,

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: it looked like that on the Money Night game that

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: the Bears had some problems with that, like that double

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: a blitz look and stuff like that. Really didn't sort

86
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: that out. When you get guys, how are you when

87
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: you're you're looking at that and say, guys show it

88
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: and then guys back out of it. How do you

89
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: know you know, okay, hey, it's coming this time, or okay, man,

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay here. It is a little bit

91
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: of hesitation or doubt when that, when that's happening to

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: you sometimes with that look, well, I think in no

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: situations you gotta trust your football instinct. I mean, when

94
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: we're on the field, you can't deny those those human

95
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: aspects of the game. You know, if somebody's gonna blitz,

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a look in their eye that's you know,

97
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: their eyes are gonna be wide open. And you know,

98
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff you look at as you you know,

99
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: as you play the game, and the human aspect of

100
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: it never never disappears. You know, if somebody's gonna come

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: and take your head off, that's what they're gonna try

102
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: to do. And you just make sure you're looking at

103
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: all those little you know, cues if they're if they're

104
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: all off the ball a little more than another linebacker.

105
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: This little stuff like that that I'll help you out.

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Did you ever have to learn a lesson in that

107
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: regard didn't see one coming. Oh, guys, let me tell you.

108
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: So I started my career off probably playing against two

109
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: of the best linebackers as Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis

110
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: and m yeah, you know they they are walking you

111
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: to the NFL real quick and a you know, a

112
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: training can't practice and let you know what you need

113
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: to be looking for. So I learned. I learned real early.

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Keep my eyes up, watch their feet, see what you

115
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: can see. You know, in the movies, Joe, I've seen

116
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: a couple of different times where they talk about with

117
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: offensive lineman you could look at their hands and the

118
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: way it's tilted if they're getting ready to run or pass.

119
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: Is that true? And did you have to be aware

120
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 1: of that as you were developing? So if guys aren't

121
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: wearing gloves, you know, everybody's wearing gloves nowadays, so you

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: can't really you can't really look at their their fingernails

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: to see if they're leaning forward or leaning back. But uh,

124
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think one of the things you just

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: you gotta watch defensive linement. Just like any profession, you know,

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: you get good at it by you know, watching what

127
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: these what these guys do, and you know everybody's gonna

128
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: give a little tip now, and then you know who

129
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: plays this game. You know, we all have those little

130
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: quarts that you know say, Okay, I'm gonna go right

131
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: or I'm going left, and you just gotta you gotta,

132
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you watch for him. And that's

133
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: I think what we're always looking for. We're always looking

134
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: for that edge. We're always looking for that thing that could, uh,

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, help us in a game to set us apart. Now, Joe,

136
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: you never know if what's on Wikipedia is true. And

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask this as sensitively as I can. When

138
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: you were six, were you one hundred and twenty pounds? Oh,

139
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: every bit of it lying? Were you just a big

140
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: guy or or a big kid? Or were you what

141
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: were you doing? You're eating a lot? Yeah, I told

142
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: I told you guys, I was a big kid man.

143
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, when I was growing up, I

144
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: found that refrigerator and we became better friends. Okay, So

145
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: Wikipedia tells me you had to play football with boys

146
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: who were as much as twice your age. Is that accurate?

147
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: That is accurate? And uh, you know my dad, my

148
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: dad growing up was my coach and early on in

149
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: my tackle football career. My dad had to get a

150
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: special insurance on me so I can play in the

151
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: league because I was overweight. And then you know, they

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: put that big X on your helmet, and so I

153
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, Joe, you couldn't run with the ball? Then?

154
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: All right? Yeah? You know it's like you see a

155
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: fumble and you see you know, you got to dive

156
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: on it. I was just like, man, you know, I

157
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: got a little bit of athlete. I mean, let me

158
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: picking up a run this thing. But now were a

159
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: lot older than you, and they were anywhere close in size.

160
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Weren't they tearing you up? Oh? In the beginning they were.

161
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: In the beginning they were. But you know what, it

162
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: all worked out for good. It made me tough. And

163
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I started tackle ball when

164
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I was about six years old, and when you know,

165
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: when I was about nine years old, they really clicked

166
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: for me. And I was like, oh, you know what,

167
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: I can, you know, pick these guys up and drive

168
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: him back into the quarterback. So that's what I was like,

169
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: all right, I'm playing football. So you're nine years old

170
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: picking up twelve year olds. What was the biggest h

171
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: gap where you gotta slam, oh man. Uh yeah, what

172
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: it had to be. You know, I was nine playing

173
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: with uh, you know, twelve and thirteen year olds because

174
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: of my weight. So I definitely definitely had some fun

00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: out there. Man. Played for the Little League Dolphins. Nice.

176

Speaker 1: I was. I was on the Vikings. And what I

178
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: want to know is because when I was nine, I

179
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: ran for about six thousand yards. I was a baller.

180
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120
