1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to Games of Names. I'm Julian Edelman and we

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: got a brand new compilation highlight reels starting now now.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: Julian Edelman on what it's actually like in an NFL

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: locker room at halftime.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 3: Would there ever be a player that took a shower

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 3: at halftime?

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I used to think it was weird, and

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: guys would take their pads off. Some guys would take

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: their pads off halftime. I like my stuff snug.

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 4: You got the sweat, would you eat it halftime? Yeah.

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: There's always like pickles for the salt so you retain water.

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: They always have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. That's a

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: huge thing, you know, as Travis with then crustables they'd

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: have sometimes they have chicken broth. If it was like

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: a cold game, they have every kind of like power

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: bar or protein bar or meal supplement bar.

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: They sometimes when it's like a you know, a high

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: play first half, guys are kind of drained. Usually in

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: the heat, you got to take in calories gives a

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: little more energy.

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 4: Cool pregame shower.

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Oh I shower like five six times before game because

24
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: you you know, you wake up. I like to wake

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: up shower. I like, I like hot water on my face.

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: That helps me wake up. Then you hit the tubs,

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, warm up, do another shower, and then like

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: you go do ball drills this that I don't like

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the sweat, and then I'll do like another shower. I'm

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: a shower earth. I like five six showers a day.

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: Also, day before the super Bowl, you're not practicing right,

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: Like Friday is the last practice.

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Day before Super Bowl is usually a mental sharp sharpening day.

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like your walk through your dress rehearsal.

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: You know each team they're at a hotel, so they'll

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: probably clear out the ballroom. You have the whole hotel,

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: and you'll go through the whole script. So you go

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: through first and second down, all your first and second

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: down plays. You'll go through all your third down plays,

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: you go through all your red area plays, you go

41
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: through your two point menu, you go through gotta have

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: it plays just to get that mental rep so when

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: it's game time, the more you know the material, the

44
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: more you can be spontaneous with your play.

45
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean.

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: That's when like instinctively things happen.

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: Next, Matt Light confesses to the best thing he ever

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: stole from an NFL locker room.

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: What's your favorite thing you stole from another stadium?

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: Like the listen? Is there statute of limitations? I mean,

52
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 5: I'm not going to jail on your podcast.

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 6: No, Like.

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: That's double Jeopardy, Bro, It's gone. That's a good point. Yeah, yeah,

55
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: it can't be tried twice, there's no way. Gosh, man,

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: the best thing ever? Hey, you know so some of

57
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: my favorite stuff that I have hanging now. We just

58
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 5: moved down to Chapatchet, Rhode Island, and in the move

59
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 5: I found some stuff that I'd ganged from the Super Bowls.

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 5: So again I was always the first guy off the field, right.

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 5: It was like my goal to get to the bar

62
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 5: as quickly as possible.

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 6: Bar Louis Baby.

64
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 5: And I would rip down all these banners. I remember

65
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 5: just jumping up in this running thinking thing thing thing,

66
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: wadding it up, throwing it tin and I have all

67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 5: these really awesome banners from the Super Bowl eras, like

68
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: the ones that hang in the hotel. Yeah yeah, well

69
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: we get the hotel. I couldn't stop myself there either.

70
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: They'd be like hanging off like a big atrium and

71
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: I'd find my way up in there and.

72
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: Like, sink sink, sink, sink sink.

73
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 6: Can we just get it?

74
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: What is your craziest prank that you did as a

75
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: New England Patriot?

76
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 5: Okay, so I would say probably the best one that

77
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 5: I did on a team. I mean, the best one

78
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: I've done period was having some guys pulled off their

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 5: private jet. That was that was one of the greatest

80
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 5: of all time.

81
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: Man, what do you mean?

82
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: I mean? And by the way, I did have a

83
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 5: guy and you can look this one up. I just

84
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: did a full video on it. I had a guy

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: kill a turkey and he thought it was the world

86
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: record albiino osciola and osciole was the only found in Florida.

87
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 5: It's a it's a version of a turkey, right, it's

88
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: a subspecies. And he went hunting with me. But what

89
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: he actually killed was a broad breasted white turkey that

90
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: was farm raised and like some like literally like in

91
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: a double wide in some guy's backyard and I just

92
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: put it out in the woods and he shot it

93
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 5: and he snuck up on it. I told him that

94
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 5: if you squat down like a Suma wrestler and carry

95
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: a fake turkey tail, fan that you can walk right

96
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: up on him, which you cannot do that, but he

97
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: did it, and he practiced it for a while and

98
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: it's one of the funniest things ever. I have it

99
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: on video. Like, by the way, I was right next

100
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 5: to him when he shot it, but he had no idea.

101
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 5: It was in a full gilly suit in a palmeadow

102
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: bush snake almost bit me. And when he sneaks up

103
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 5: on it, I swear to guy, when the turkey saw him,

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: it was like, oh, thank god, it's a human. I've

105
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 5: been out here in a while, Like what the hell?

106
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: Like he came from like literally a guy's backyard, and

107
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 5: so he shoots and misses him and the bird he

108
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 5: was so fat he could barely walk forty four pounds, Like, dude,

109
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 5: that's twice as big as any bird. And he started

110
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 5: walking my way. I'm like this how I die being

111
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: a dumb ass. This is how I die? And thank

112
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 5: god he didn't shoot me. But anyway, my brother calls

113
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: him as the head of Florida Game and Fish. I

114
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 5: made up two hundred copies of a magazine where he's

115
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: on the cover, and he thought, like, I'm dead serious, dude,

116
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 5: I mean I will put a lot of effort into this.

117
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: A year later, he gets up on stage at the

118
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: shootout where we sold the Hunt to begin with, and

119
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: I said, Jamie, you got to come up here and

120
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 5: help me sell this thing.

121
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 6: Man.

122
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's going to go for big money. You

123
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: just shot that. And so he gets up and he's

124
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 5: talking about how he killed the moby Dick of Turkey.

125
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 5: He's the Tom Brady of Turkey Hunt. I got it all

126
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 5: on video. I had my guys there wearing Florida game

127
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 5: and fish collared shirts that I had made up because

128
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 5: they were there to get content for their website because

129
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 5: they're getting ready launch it. They brought two hundred advanced

130
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 5: copies of the magazine. He's signing the magazines for people

131
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 5: at the event, like, you can't make this stuff up right.

132
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 5: He had it mounted a farm raised bird mounted. So

133
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 5: up on stage he's talking about all this stuff. I'm

134
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 5: the Tom Brady of Turkey Hunting. I killed the moby

135
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: Dick of Turkey. And then I said, well, you know what,

136
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: we actually have this on film. Why't we roll it?

137
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: And in front of five hundred people. A year later,

138
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: he finds out it shows me getting the bird and

139
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 5: he's on stage like are you serious? Like all this

140
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 5: realization it's one of the greatest videos you'll ever watch.

141
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 7: Man.

142
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: We laugh so hard now.

143
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: Joe Mazula on what an NBA locker room is actually

144
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: like at halftime?

145
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: So halftime, what's what's the what's the locker room like?

146
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: Under coach?

147
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: It depends.

148
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: I think you're as soon as that horn goes off,

149
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: Even during the first half, you're I'm constantly saying, Okay,

150
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: what did we do well? What didn't we do well?

151
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: What hurt us?

152
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: And you try to anticipate on what's going to happen

153
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: in the second and then when the horn goes off,

154
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: it's a about a forty five second to a minute

155
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: walk to the back. You're you're kind of deciding about

156
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: like all right, like what does the team need right

157
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: now in this moment? And then you know, what are

158
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: we going to focus on? And so in that game,

159
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: you're talking about the you know, you follow a three

160
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: point shooter three times and you give them nine potential

161
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: points out of that that you have to take that away,

162
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: and so I think you're just constantly and but it changes,

163
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: right Sometimes you're in there and you show film you know,

164
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 3: sometimes you're in there and like you don't show any film. Uh.

165
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like okay, who does an individual player need something?

166
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: Or does the team need something? And so you're just

167
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: constantly diagnosing what needs what at that moment, figuring out like, Okay,

168
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: where do we need to be better that we can control,

169
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: where do we need to be better? Are the things

170
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: that you know we sucked at? And then you know,

171
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: try to.

172
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Get ready for the second half there, Now, how long

173
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: is the halftime?

174
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: It's fifteen minutes By the time you get back to

175
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: the locker room, it's like thirteen thirty. And then you

176
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: got three and a half minutes to look at the

177
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: halftime minute to see what you want to show, and

178
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: you try to show the half time minute at like ten.

179
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: So do you have cause like whenever our halftime it

180
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: was it was clockwork. We would come in for halftime,

181
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: it was thirteen minutes or twelve minutes. Coaches would have

182
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: two minutes together while we were undrained, like let our

183
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: emotions get down and then we break up into O

184
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: and D. Offensive coach would have his four keys that

185
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: were going into defensive coach would have his four keys.

186
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: We'd have two minutes there. Then we'd have two minutes

187
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: as a team and then special teams would have one

188
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: minute or what like. It was broken down like you

189
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: guys have a moment where like that, or it's different

190
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: because you guys are so different. So I think you're

191
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: in the back as far as roster size.

192
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: No, by the time we get to the team, it's

193
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: probably four clips offense, four clips defense, or if one

194
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: side of the ball is just so much more drastically

195
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: different impacting the game, you just focus on that. But

196
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: it's like that in the staff like you know, the

197
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: offense team will give their insight, the defense team will

198
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: give their insight. Then the coach doing the halftime minute

199
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: kind of puts in, you know, order of what's most important,

200
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: and you're just so in that three and a half minutes,

201
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: you're kind of deciding, Okay, what's the most important? Is

202
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: is it A are both important?

203
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Or are we focusing on one?

204
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: Next up Puka Naku on the Rams breakfast club and

205
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: the dynamic inside that locker.

214
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 8: first game back, and we got to line up in

215
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 8: the formation next to each other and being.

216
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,600

Speaker 4: Like cups out here.

218
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 8: I'm playing football with Cooper Cup right now, Like what

219
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 8: it felt like when I got called out before him

220
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 8: and then they called Cooper Cup number ten. He has

221
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 8: a song play and the whole stadium is like coo

222
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 8: and being like.

223
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: What it's happening like all through like training camp.

224
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 8: Oh he got hurt during training camp rookie year, and

225
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 8: like he came back and I was like everybody you

226
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 8: could feel like the leadership and then also like the

227
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 8: football player of being like he controls, he knows what's

228
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 8: going on.

229
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: It made it made it so fun.

230
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a pro. I remember when he was a

231
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: young buck. We used to work out together at Golden West,

232
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: the hot Spot. I remember he was coming off an injury.

233
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: I threw with Matthew a couple of times. Oh man,

234
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: he can light it up. What do you gotta do

235
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: to get in this goddamn breakfast club. I mean, the

236
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: cool name you got McVeigh, you got with, you got

237
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: Stafford Cup, that's it exclusivity. Soho home membership. How do

238
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: you get in this thing? Hopefully?

239
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 8: I'm like, they didn't ask me for any membership for you,

240
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 8: so but shoot, you got to get up there earlier.

241
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 8: I'm like, that's one of the things I was like

242
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 8: that helped. I was watching Coop and I changed my

243
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 8: routine of like, man, during season, I'm normally in bed

244
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 8: at least by nine thirty, like, if not, like going

245
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 8: to bed by nine thirty, so I could wake up

246
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 8: and be up at five thirty five forty five, so

247
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 8: I could get to the facility at six o'clock. And

248
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 8: they've already and I would be the almost the last

249
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 8: one there. They've already been there, like they're watching and

250
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 8: they've probably gone through the last practice, and now we're

251
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 8: we're about to start watching the explosive from all the

252
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 8: other teams across the league. And I'm like, so I

253
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 8: come in for the back half and then we rerun

254
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 8: the tape. Me and Coop will be like, all right,

255
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 8: now we're going to watch the receivers at the end

256
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 8: while either Matthew's going to grab coffee, they're grabbing breakfast,

257
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 8: and then like can we kind of sit there, Yeah,

258
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 8: watch all the tape and the be like all right,

259
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 8: I keep them updated on like the newest slang terms

260
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 8: because I'm like those two guys, I'm like, yeah, one

261
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 8: Coop probably never actually had gone on social media area.

262
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 8: And then Matthew, I don't think he even knows he

263
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 8: has an Instagram.

264
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: Damn April Fools yesterday that he has. He's all tatted up.

265
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: Do you see that Stafford has a full sleeve? That

266
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: was the news yesterday.

267
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I ever seen that. That's a boot. That's such a

268
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: dad joke right there. He is Matt's cool.

269
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: Now. Cooper cup on what makes Sean McVay so special.

270
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 7: What makes Sean McVay so special? He does He commands

271
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 7: the room that anyone I've ever been around, right like

272
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 7: comes in. His ability to communicate to people, get a

273
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 7: message across is a one I think it's for any coach.

274
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 7: If you can't, if you're not a good communicator, you're

275
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 7: gonna make everyone's life miserable. And so for him, as

276
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 7: from the very top, you're getting clear, concise communication that

277
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 7: trickles down through through everything.

278
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: When we had wit on he said he walked in

279
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: on McVeigh watching game tape of himself giving speeches to

280
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: the team, trying to break down his own stuff.

281
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: Why do he pause after he said he walked in

282
00:11:53,520 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: on mcvaye traumatic effects, like doing what.

283
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: To let a linger for a second?

284
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, yeah, Well because I think that was a

285
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 7: super important thing for him coming he was. I mean,

286
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 7: he was my age when he was head coach of

287
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 7: the l as you're you're stepping in, you're my age

288
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 7: going in, Like I can understand being critical and wanting

289
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 7: to learn from all this. This is your first time

290
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 7: leading team, meeting as players, we can opportunity to watch

291
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 7: ourselves and learn. And you know, I think he wanted

292
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 7: to learn and be the best that he could be

293
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 7: for us. You know, I think that's uh, he takes

294
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 7: that mentality. He is very critical of himself and wants

295
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 7: to be He doesn't want to let people down, and

296
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 7: you know, that's kind of his hard for people, and

297
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 7: I think that's kind of what drives a lot of

298
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 7: the things that he does.

299
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: I love that he he like just outside looking in

300
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: and I mean, I've gone to practice, but I'm not there.

301
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: But you could just tell he's got just leadership qualities.

302
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: He's a leader of men, ye know, is that? And

303
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: then the communication thing is so so important generation, Yeah,

304
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: just you know what I mean, yep, And he knows

305
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: how to do it. He seems like he knows how

306
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: to be a chameleon with each guy to make them

307
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: get their best.

308
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, find find ways to motivate people and connect with them.

309
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 5: He does.

310
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: He does a really good job of that.

311
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: It seemed like Coach was a little starstruck though with

312
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: Belichick my first starstruck. I love Coach. We played against

313
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: each other in colleagues, like, I love Coach McVeigh.

314
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 5: That's my dog.

315
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: We Mac baby. So we've gone and got hammered together

316
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: and stuff. But you know, he wasn't a star.

317
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: He wasn't starstruck. Little No, I don't think that's what

318
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: it was.

319
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: He saw Darth Vader for the first time, he's like,

320
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: oh my next.

321
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: Jim Craig takes us inside the locker room of that

322
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: legendary nineteen eighty Olympic team.

323
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: Now, when did you guys come together? And like, did

324
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: you guys like herb.

325
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 6: To me, I always liked Herb. You know, I had

326
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 6: just lost my mother to cancer and I was there.

327
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 6: It was like it was a stepping stone to try

328
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 6: to make it to the Nation Hockey League. You know,

329
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 6: when Herb asked me to play in the World Championships

330
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 6: in Lenigrad Moscow, I couldn't. If somebody showed me in

331
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 6: the lineup, I wouldn't even know what he looked like,

332
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. It was just you just played.

333
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 6: So to me, he always had my best interests in heart,

334
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 6: and working hard was just part of the deal.

335
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what about the boys, Like when you guys

336
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: are in the locker room and coach ain't there, Like

337
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: when Belichick wasn't there, were like, fuck this guy. This

338
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: guy's making us run the goddamn hill. It's week eighteen.

339
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: We got no knees. What's going on here?

340
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: Yeah? Put money in the bank.

341
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: When did that camaraderie with the guys come together? Strategy?

342
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 6: It was his strategy. If they don't like me, maybe they'll.

343
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: Like like each other because you guys are all from

344
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: different places.

345
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, some people coach and they're not very good at preparing,

346
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: but during the game, they're really good. At adjusting. Very

347
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 6: few are great at preparing and adjusting. Yeah, and when

348
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 6: you get somebody like that, then then that's it's really special.

349
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 6: Like we'd see you're wearing o'callahan's jersey, right, Brooks would

350
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 6: know what O'Callahan was, kind of do something stupid and

351
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 6: pull him off the ice, you know what I mean,

352
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 6: because he knew it'd be he'd be so excited he's

353
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 6: going to get a penalty.

354
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 5: So he had the ability, like Jack, get off.

355
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 6: You know what I mean. And and he was that

356
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 6: in tuned on intimidation of the referee, intimidation of the

357
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 6: other player. Uh, you know so many of the other

358
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 6: different things.

359
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: Wow, who's the team? Who's the team? Prankster?

360
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 6: Davy Christian?

361
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: What is what is some of the shit he would do?

362
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 6: Well. Rob McClanahan was a perfectionist, right, and so you

363
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 6: know Christian brothers made the sticks. So Robbie would have

364
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 6: eight or nine sticks taped up and they'd be absolutely

365
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 6: perfect and right down by the blade, they'd be a

366
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 6: little red little stick or you're plastic covering, right, So

367
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 6: Davy would take that off, take a hack, sar and

368
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 6: sorrow it so it wouldn't quite break if you money

369
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 6: leaned on it, but if you went to shoot, it

370
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 6: would break right. And so Robbie was so particular about

371
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 6: the thing. So all of a sudden, Robbie goes goes

372
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: to shoot stickpering pissed off, another one pissed off, and

373
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 6: then he finds out that Dave Davey had done that.

374
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 6: And so we're in Colorado Springs at the Broad Moor,

375
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 6: and you know, our travels are tough. We got tons

376
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 6: of game, and so all of a sudden, you know,

377
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 6: Brooks is coming in a little bit late, and Davy

378
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 6: Christian and Pavliche find that the figure skaters have their

379
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: two two's right. And so Davy Christian gets in this

380
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 6: to two right with Pavlage and Herb was talking about

381
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 6: for checking right. So Davy cut a Christian Brothers stick,

382
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 6: taped it on another one another one, so had a

383
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 6: stick that reached from here to the corner right. So

384
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 6: he's out there and that Herb comes out and he

385
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 6: just couldn't do anything but laugh. But that's kind of

386
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 6: who Davey was.

387
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: God you need a little of that, though, especially with

388
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: that environment. We had our guy, the matt Lights of

389
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: the world that would do a fucking prank that all

390
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: the boys could just laugh. And you know your guys

391
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: are getting yelled at sweating together, you're leaning together, ma'am.

392
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 6: I did a prank on this one kid who would

393
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 6: you know come in our day, you'd you'd break in

394
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 6: your goalie or your skates. They were really hard to

395
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 6: break in, so you would put steam in them and

396
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: then you tie them up as tight as you could.

397
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 6: And there was nothing more painful than what we call

398
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 6: lace bike. You know, all of a sudden, you tight,

399
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 6: you skate and you get lace bit. It's like, oh

400
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 6: my god, it's so painful. So there's this one kid,

401
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: uh Rory, and he was like helping the equipment manager

402
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 6: and he was a real fan. And I shouldn't have

403
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 6: done this, but I did. H He goes, Jimmy kids,

404
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 6: anything I do for it? He said, yeah, I go, Rory,

405
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 6: I've got these news skates. I need a bucket of steam.

406
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 6: He goes, well, where do I get that? I go,

407
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 6: do you ever see the zamboni when they come out

408
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 6: all that steam? Because you get down there, you capture

409
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 6: that steam and you bring it back. So thys later

410
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 6: he comes back. I can't I can't get your bucket.
