Speaker 1: All right, that'll keep our listeners involved. But brought to you,
Speaker 1: by the way, by Miller Lyte double A. Thanks for
Speaker 1: taking the time because there's so much to explore with you.
Speaker 1: But first of all, on x otherwise known as Twitter,
Speaker 1: you're applauding your hometown team, the Detroit Lions, celebrating that
Speaker 1: team that drafted you as well though in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure you know the comedian Stephen Wright. I
Speaker 1: always love one of his lines. He stops and he says,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm having deja vu and amnesia at
Speaker 1: the same time. That's what that is. Detroit, San Francisco
Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl, and you're repping both. How's that happen?
Speaker 4: Oh man, everybody's giving me flack about it, you know,
Speaker 4: because I'm from Detroit. But the team that drafted me,
Speaker 4: the Lions, are playing, so everybody wants to know. A
Speaker 4: you going to root for? I'm rooting for the team
Speaker 4: that drafted me. Detroit had a chance to give me
Speaker 4: and they didn't. So I'm riding with the Niners and
Speaker 4: I hope they win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Man, So sorry to.
Speaker 4: Let everybody down, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: it's still a game, okay, So relax.
Speaker 2: Double A. During the day of the draft. Did you
Speaker 2: have any expectations. Did anybody tell you, hey, we're going
Speaker 2: to draft you. Hey, you know we're gonna be calling
Speaker 2: it at this route or was it kind of one
Speaker 2: of those days that you just sat there and waited
Speaker 2: to see what was going to happen.
Speaker 4: I talked to the Raiders at the it was either
Speaker 4: the Combine or the Senior Bowl, and this was the
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator at the time. I remember he sat me down,
Speaker 4: he said, we watched the game. We love you, we
Speaker 4: love the way that you hustle, said, We'll draft you
Speaker 4: in a heartbeat. So I'm like, oh, okay, this is
Speaker 4: the first I'm hearing of somebody telling me they're going
Speaker 4: to draft me.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, oh wow.
Speaker 4: So I was the tenth rated defensive tackle coming out,
Speaker 4: and the nine defensive tackles went fast. I mean it
Speaker 4: was probably still ten picks left in the first round,
Speaker 4: so I'm just like, man, if one of these teams
Speaker 4: need a defensive tackle, I should be next off the board.
Speaker 4: So the Raiders had the last two picks in the
Speaker 4: first round. So I'm like, I remember vividly. I remember
Speaker 4: what he was wearing, I remember his clipboard. I remember
Speaker 4: the glasses he wore. I remember everything about him saying
Speaker 4: he would draft me in a heartbeat. So the last
Speaker 4: two picks, they picked namd Assenwah, who's a he's a
Speaker 4: good corner, And they picked Tyler Braydon, defensive end out
Speaker 4: of Colorado. So I'm just like after that, I had
Speaker 4: no clue where I would be drafted, who was going
Speaker 4: to draft me or what I know? San Francisco forty
Speaker 4: nine ers Dan Quinn, who's you know, defensive coordinator for
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. He was the defense he was the defensive
Speaker 4: line coach for the Niners. He came and worked me
Speaker 4: and Mike Haynes out who the Bears picked and so
Speaker 4: I but I had no clue that they were looking
Speaker 4: at me in the draft, and they ended up getting
Speaker 4: me in the second round.
Speaker 1: So well, who was who was the decordinator?
Speaker 3: I can't remember his name?
Speaker 1: No, really, you can remember what he wore, what he said,
Speaker 1: but he don't remember his name. I got to look
Speaker 1: that up.
Speaker 4: Well, I got I got his car, I got his
Speaker 4: card and everything, but I just I forgot it because
Speaker 4: once I got drafted, I just I forgot everything. At
Speaker 4: that point, it was just like it didn't even matter, like,
Speaker 4: let's go Niners, Like, I don't care what you told me.
Speaker 2: It wasn't Dave Adolph was it.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I know Jeff is over there on the machine trying
Speaker 4: to look it up, like who is this?
Speaker 3: In two thousand and three.
Speaker 2: Coordinator double as these guys get ready for the combine
Speaker 2: and what a show it's become. How was the combine
Speaker 2: experience for you, because back in my day you had
Speaker 2: to go to three combines. You had to go to
Speaker 2: one in Tampa, one in Detroit, and one in Seattle.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, And I don't know how your experience was
Speaker 2: for the combine.
Speaker 4: Oh man, that's whack man. You gotta do three, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: So I was always under the impression that you kind
Speaker 4: of set the time when you want to run the
Speaker 4: forty and things like that. But the time is set
Speaker 4: for you. Right the day of the combine. I had
Speaker 4: to get up at like four am or something like
Speaker 4: that because we had like a you got to do
Speaker 4: like a like a urine test or something like that,
Speaker 4: And so you do that at four am in the morning,
Speaker 4: and then you got to see all these doctors. You
Speaker 4: get on the Cybex machine and you know, wear your
Speaker 4: legs out. Then you go to another doctor who has
Speaker 4: a bunch of these papers of all your medical history,
Speaker 4: and you take these MRIs, you do thesese, and you
Speaker 4: go to another room. There's a bunch of doctors that're
Speaker 4: pulling on you that this hurt, does this hurt?
Speaker 3: Can you do this? Can you do that?
Speaker 4: After all of that, then you run the forty and
Speaker 4: all of that stuff. So then you end up running
Speaker 4: at probably like two o'clock or something like that, after
Speaker 4: you've been up since four am. And so it's just
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna run at first, but then I was like,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm doing there? I did everything except
Speaker 4: for bench and I did that at my pro day.
Speaker 3: What you do thirty one reps?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I didn't see that in your statland. The
Speaker 1: one thing you know with the Senior Bowl yesterday was
Speaker 1: I guess it would be Sunday, was measurements. Measurements, and
Speaker 1: you know that's always a big deal. Is a guy
Speaker 1: gonna make it to a number that is listed in
Speaker 1: his college college roster or what his weight is and
Speaker 1: then so and Tim always gives me a hard time
Speaker 1: because I go right to the three eighths, I go
Speaker 1: to one eighth. I get, I give you what you do.
Speaker 1: You know what you've earned, right, But I was going
Speaker 1: to ask you because you're listed as six feet. I
Speaker 1: don't think you made it to six feet.
Speaker 3: I was, I was.
Speaker 4: I was five to eleven point eight, five eleven and
Speaker 4: five eighths. But they look, they measure you without your
Speaker 4: cleats on? Right, You don't play the game without your cleats?
Speaker 4: Why why do you have to measure with my cleats off?
Speaker 4: This is it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: What'd you measure?
Speaker 2: Hey? My whole my whole life in my high school
Speaker 2: and college program, I was listened at six five when
Speaker 2: I went to the combine, they got your bare feet
Speaker 2: and make you lift your toes up off the ground.
Speaker 2: And I was six three and three quarters and I'm going,
Speaker 2: no way measure that again. I lost money because of that.
Speaker 3: What difference does it make? Though? What turned on the film?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: And can you play? I don't care if you's four
Speaker 4: feet eight? Like, can you play? You could play? It
Speaker 4: don't matter.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 2: That's the thing about it. Double a as. I I
Speaker 2: take guys that have a low center of gravity, and
Speaker 2: they earn they earn leverage. Okay, if they measure you
Speaker 2: at six foot, you're really coming out of your stance
Speaker 2: at about you know, four foot three, three foot five,
Speaker 2: which is a better advantage than it is if you're
Speaker 2: six foot six coming out of your stands.
Speaker 1: And about my size giving up leverage about my size
Speaker 1: coming out of the stans. You man five seven and
Speaker 1: a half coming out of my stance at two and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 2: Feet, you'd be Sam Mills.
Speaker 3: You'd be You'd have to.
Speaker 2: Play, you'd have to play a couple of productive years
Speaker 2: in the USFL to get yourself into the NFL and
Speaker 2: become a Hall of Famer like he did.
Speaker 3: There, you have it right there, years playing he would
Speaker 3: he wouldn't have made it.
Speaker 1: Chuck Resnahan, I mean, come on, that was the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator in the Raiders that told you he's gonna pick.
Speaker 3: Oh man, he president messed up. He messed up.
Speaker 4: Now he got he got two good draft picks though,
Speaker 4: two good draft picks, man, Two good dudes, man that
Speaker 4: I'm dead and Tyler Braden two good dudes, man.
Speaker 3: So they got their draft right.
Speaker 1: Good news, Chicago United Airlines is getting brand new planes
Speaker 1: with all the bells and whistles, like Bluetooth connectivity screens
Speaker 1: at every seat in room for everyone's roller bag United,
Speaker 1: Proud to fly the Chicago Bears and you too. So
Speaker 1: how closely are you watching what happens with the team
Speaker 1: that you spent most of your career at. Yes, four
Speaker 1: years with the Niners, but you played five years with
Speaker 1: the Bears and you got the hat on, you got
Speaker 1: your representing this morning. Are you watching every detail that
Speaker 1: happens in the building.
Speaker 4: Of course, I like us getting Coach Washington. He's back
Speaker 4: in the fold. He was great when he was working
Speaker 4: with Coach Marinelli, and so I like that and the
Speaker 4: fact that the second half of the season our defense
Speaker 4: really turned it on. So I think Coach Washington is
Speaker 4: not going to do anything but help us, and especially
Speaker 4: the defensive line, because that's that's where I know him front.
Speaker 4: That's why I know Coach Washington the most working with
Speaker 4: me on the defensive line. So I'm excited for that.
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what they do in the draft.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we're gonna trade, if we're gonna
Speaker 4: like who we're gonna get, whatever, whatever, But I'm excited.
Speaker 4: If we're going to keep Justin, then let's let's surround
Speaker 4: him with a lot of talent.
Speaker 3: So I'm excited for it.
Speaker 1: We'll get into coach Washington a minute, But Tom and
Speaker 1: I talk about this, and it's happening every day.
Speaker 3: I got.
Speaker 1: I got a call yesterday from somebody in the college game.
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing? Like, what are you keeping Justin?
Speaker 1: Are you trading?
Speaker 2: What's going to happen?
Speaker 3: They act like we really know.
Speaker 1: I know, but it's crazy though. But then so this
Speaker 1: is what I do. I just flip it right away,
Speaker 1: what would you do? And they have opinions. They people
Speaker 1: want to give their opinions, and it is it's it's
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty. I mean, it is not eighty twenty,
Speaker 1: it's not twenty five seven. It's fifty to fifty. I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's my experience. I don't know about you, Tommy,
Speaker 1: or what you're getting spice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's the same over here. Everybody asks
Speaker 4: what are they going to do?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: So, uh, if they are going to keep Justin that
Speaker 4: surrounded with talent. If they're not, then get the best available.
Speaker 4: Get whoever is off the charts, get them, bring them here.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think the decision is still out
Speaker 2: there because now you go and you hire a new
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator and Shane Waldron and a quarterback coach and
Speaker 2: Carrie Joseph. Now you got to allow these guys to
Speaker 2: study the product, look at what the responsibility was per play,
Speaker 2: How is the timing of the play after they broke
Speaker 2: the huddle and went to the line of scrimmage, And
Speaker 2: you have to get an evaluation from the guy that's
Speaker 2: going to be in charge of the offense. So I
Speaker 2: don't think anybody knows, and I think it's an unanswerable
Speaker 2: question at this point, even though they're you know, we're
Speaker 2: still in the beginning of the Super Bowl week and uh,
Speaker 2: you know every and I don't think anybody's opinion really
Speaker 2: matters until you give the guy that you just brought
Speaker 2: in here and hired to have his own opinion to
Speaker 2: feel if he is a guy that can take justin
Speaker 2: and turn him into the player that they believed he
Speaker 2: could be when they drafted him, or if you know,
Speaker 2: the decision making process during the course of the season
Speaker 2: is you know, kind of encouraging him to move on,
Speaker 2: and he's got a lot of irons in the fire.
Speaker 2: He did a great job with Geno Smith. He's worked
Speaker 2: in a lot of different systems. So I think you
Speaker 2: have to respect the opinion of the new guy.
Speaker 4: The grass is the only green the where you water it,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like everybody think, oh, we could,
Speaker 4: we could do this, we did that, Let's bring this
Speaker 4: guy in, Let's do this that. Uh listen, man, Let's
Speaker 4: let's cultivate what we have already. All right, Let's not
Speaker 4: just give up so easily, all right, and let's just
Speaker 4: surround justin fields with talent and then let's see what happen.
Speaker 3: Let's go all out.
Speaker 4: Let's get all the free agent acquisitions we can get,
Speaker 4: and let's just build this team. I mean, if you
Speaker 4: look at the year that Detroit is having, I mean,
Speaker 4: they built that team and they had a lot of grit, man,
Speaker 4: and they did something that no other Lions team has
Speaker 4: done in thirty two years. I mean, they should have
Speaker 4: won was it twelve games? They should have won the
Speaker 4: one game. The refs they messed up and they they
Speaker 4: cheated them out of a game man that they should
Speaker 4: have had.
Speaker 3: Man, they should have.
Speaker 4: Been twelve and five or thirteen and four, whatever it was.
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you something in relation to what
Speaker 2: you think the Detroit Lions are. They should have beat
Speaker 2: him in Detroit and they did beat him at home.
Speaker 2: Does that give you more encouragement going forward that you
Speaker 2: belong and that if you turn things around in a
Speaker 2: couple of the games, that you could be that Detroit
Speaker 2: Lions team that we're all talking about this year.
Speaker 4: I don't think you can just base it off of
Speaker 4: that game. You know, you never know, like they were
Speaker 4: the Bears were good that day. You know, it's just
Speaker 4: like they say any given Sunday, you know, and it
Speaker 4: just so happened that game was everything was going right
Speaker 4: for us, and so you can't base it off of that.
Speaker 4: You kind of got to base it off the season
Speaker 4: that you had. You got to base it off of
Speaker 4: how did you do when when Khalil Herbert couldn't play? Like,
Speaker 4: how did you fail when your offensive linement got hurt?
Speaker 4: Like were you able to Like That's how you can
Speaker 4: kind of judge or base what you're going to do
Speaker 4: for the next season off of, not just off of
Speaker 4: the Lions.
Speaker 3: GA, Well, we beat the Lions, so and you know.
Speaker 4: It's just like you know, the first game Detroit had
Speaker 4: when they beat Kansas City. So now you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're gonna win the super Bowl. That was just a
Speaker 4: good game that you had, and you can build off
Speaker 4: of it get better. I think everybody just has to
Speaker 4: when they're one on one battles, when they're in the
Speaker 4: visual batters, look themselves in the mirror and say how
Speaker 4: can I get better? How can I impact his team?
Speaker 4: And I think if you get eleven players all saying
Speaker 4: the same thing, then you'll be happy with the outcome.
Speaker 1: Well, one of the things you got to focus to
Speaker 1: is the division. You got to beat the division. And
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at these playmakers, you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: Jordan Love and Green Bay and all those young receivers
Speaker 1: and tight ends and Aaron Jones, and we'll see what
Speaker 1: their defense looks like with a new coordinator. And then
Speaker 1: you got Detroit and you know their instant offense right now,
Speaker 1: I mean they are and the Vikings, but that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, the Vikings have on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball something to be concerned win. So the
Speaker 1: Bears you have to match fire with fire a little bit.
Speaker 1: You gotta kind of kind of don't you have to
Speaker 1: do guys, You guys played, don't you have to solve
Speaker 1: those puzzles first? Like you just can't. You know, you're
Speaker 1: only playing six games against your division, but those six
Speaker 1: games matter significantly, So you can't just build your team
Speaker 1: to face that group, but you know you're facing him
Speaker 1: every year. And so I mean speed in Detroit is
Speaker 1: insane with Jamir Gibbs and Jamison Williams and that tight
Speaker 1: end laporta very and very impressive draft class, not to
Speaker 1: mention what they're doing on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you guys look at it.
Speaker 1: Would you look at it that way? And anyway, Timmy,
Speaker 1: I'll start with you.
Speaker 2: You know double a kind of brought up is how
Speaker 2: are you on the day that you play these guys?
Speaker 2: And to me, if you're going to play the Green
Speaker 2: Bay Packers opening week of the season, you better simulate
Speaker 2: more of real game action before you play in week one.
Speaker 2: I think if you come out of training camp the
Speaker 2: way these teams do today and they have so much
Speaker 2: time off before the actual real regular season game, you're
Speaker 2: not playing any reps in the preseason you're taking a
Speaker 2: real big chance of being unprepared on that first week. Now,
Speaker 2: because I'm talking about the Bears did open up with
Speaker 2: Green Bay and they closed with green Bay. So I
Speaker 2: do think, you know, thinking about what DOUBLEA said about
Speaker 2: being prepared on the day you play him, you know,
Speaker 2: I think that's got to be a big point of
Speaker 2: ephesis if you do open the schedule again with a
Speaker 2: division opponent.
Speaker 4: I think that the Bears really need to start scouting
Speaker 4: and seeing what free agent can come in and make
Speaker 4: an immediate impact in jail with the team. I think
Speaker 4: that's what they did so well with our defense. So
Speaker 4: I came in. I came from a three to four defense,
Speaker 4: but I've always played a four to three. So when
Speaker 4: I got a chance to get back into that four three,
Speaker 4: I was. I was thriving, especially when we got coach Marinelli,
Speaker 4: because he just broke everything down and he had us
Speaker 4: so prepared and we did the same thing every day.
Speaker 3: So they did a great job of.
Speaker 4: Adding me, adding Pie, Satino, is Samoa, all these different
Speaker 4: guys who came in and just had immediate impacts. So
Speaker 4: I think that the scouts really need to just could
Speaker 4: down and really take their time and find out who's
Speaker 4: who's going to be the missing pieces to this defense
Speaker 4: as well as the offense.
Speaker 1: Well you know, line of scrimmage. It's the same refrain
Speaker 1: that I I I shouted from the how highest mountaintop
Speaker 1: last year on both sides of the ball, and I
Speaker 1: still I still stay there. I still stay there right now.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, you look at you look at these
Speaker 1: games in the playoffs. Yeah, you gotta have special quarterback,
Speaker 1: but you gotta have an offensive line, and you got
Speaker 1: to have a pass rush because an offensive line commute
Speaker 1: the pass rush. And if you're not a good offensive line,
Speaker 1: your pass rush is gonna hurry up the process of
Speaker 1: your quarterback. Aka Lamar Jackson, he was he was not
Speaker 1: comfortable in that game Baltimore against.
Speaker 3: I couldn't let her to block me. I can't.
Speaker 2: Oh no way, you'd have no choice.
Speaker 4: We would have been battling. We would have been battling.
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna give up nothing. You want to go
Speaker 4: give up that?
Speaker 1: Well, from a scouting perspective, you know, could could you
Speaker 1: get on Tom's edges?
Speaker 3: That's what I do. That's what I do, Jeff, have
Speaker 3: you seen me?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Because if he gets on his edges. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's Tommy.
Speaker 4: That's the only event is I get I'm already at
Speaker 4: the edge already. You got to come to where I'm
Speaker 4: already at time? Do you have the feet to handle
Speaker 4: him coming on your edges?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I listen back when they used to use the snapcount
Speaker 2: as a weapon, and we're jumping that count to half
Speaker 2: second early, and then we're getting hands onto Double A.
Speaker 2: And it's never just one of us in our offensive line.
Speaker 2: There is always Listen, man, if we're going to slide
Speaker 2: the protection one way, I'm gonna get hands on you
Speaker 2: and Jay's gonna be jumping over immediately. So but Double A,
Speaker 2: let me ask you a question on that same accord.
Speaker 2: So you look at Montes Sweat and what he's able
Speaker 2: to do with this defense. So is Montese Sweat best
Speaker 2: best complimented by the opposite edge rusher or is he
Speaker 2: best complimented by a dominating defensive guy on the inside
Speaker 2: that has what you talk about, the explosiveness and the
Speaker 2: ability to get on the edge immediately.
Speaker 3: It helps to.
Speaker 4: Have another guy on the other edge that could help
Speaker 4: you out. But I think that the defensive tackle being
Speaker 4: right there next to you affects you a lot more. So,
Speaker 4: if you got somebody that could make the quarterback step
Speaker 4: up into the pocket, then that's your sack right there.
Speaker 3: You can just use that as a text game.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you run natural text games depending on how far
Speaker 4: the defensive tackle can get in the backfield. Like Tommy
Speaker 4: Harris was amazing at it, Like his just his fast
Speaker 4: twitch muscles was just like, I mean, you two eighty
Speaker 4: and you running a four to six and like the
Speaker 4: game speed is there. It's not like just like you
Speaker 4: just can run a good forty like no, he actually
Speaker 4: you can see it in the game that the guys
Speaker 4: a four six. So when you got a guy that's
Speaker 4: getting off the ball all like that, it just makes
Speaker 4: your job that much easier as a as a defensive end.
Speaker 4: So I think he would benefit more from having a
Speaker 4: defensive tackle who could really just get off the rock.
Speaker 4: And Tommy Harris was just like a great example. You
Speaker 4: put him alongside the same Alex Brown or Adawa Lee
Speaker 4: or Julius Peppers, then that defensive end is gonna have
Speaker 4: a lot of sacks and he's gonna be very happy.
Speaker 1: Game day snacking calls for good foods, Chunky guacamole made
Speaker 1: with hasa, avocados, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of
Speaker 1: lime juice. It's the perfect snack to watch Wile de
Speaker 1: Bears win score some Today at your local grocery store.
Speaker 1: Game day is Guakday. The reason I'm laughing is because
Speaker 1: I'm just going through. I'm picturing I'm picturing both of
Speaker 1: you guys on a barbecue. Tom's working working the grill,
Speaker 1: and I know that that at Double A is a
Speaker 1: pitmaster as well. But any kind of food, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: you guys are diving in head first and your head

Speaker 2: tape and the silicone sprayed on the outside.
Speaker 3: And so I'm playing with.
Speaker 2: Check this out. So I've been telling some young players
Speaker 2: about this. So the jerseys that we wore when I
Speaker 2: played for the Bears, they were onesies. So you put
Speaker 2: the jersey on, you tucked it in. They came underneath
Speaker 2: your legs and then you buttoned them up and so
Speaker 2: like you couldn't pull our jersey out of our you know,
Speaker 2: out from tucking the pants and stuff, and it was
Speaker 2: impossible buller grab. So it was more of a like
Speaker 2: a hand slap or an arm under, arm over, you know,
Speaker 2: those types of moves because you're not going to get
Speaker 2: a handful of jersey. And he ain't me by you.
Speaker 4: That was never my moo anyway. It was this pure
Speaker 4: wheel and strength and grit. Get low and being low.
Speaker 2: You know what we could do. Let's do we could
Speaker 2: do a nutcracker where you're a defensive lineman on the
Speaker 2: offensive lineman and Jeff is the ball carrier.
Speaker 3: Oh, I would love it.
Speaker 1: I would love it.
Speaker 3: I would love that right right in the sue right.

Speaker 1: regular practice week, get ready for a game in full uniform,
Speaker 1: full tackle. I mean, I'm sixty one.
Speaker 2: Don't don't talk him out of it. It's the most
Speaker 2: realistic understanding of a real week of football in anybody's life.
Speaker 2: So it's all full pads, they have complete equipment. You
Speaker 2: go through two days of doubles and then you go
Speaker 2: through a single day, then you have a walk through,

Speaker 1: characters of significance.
Speaker 4: To your popularities, is the most popular meme okay, I've
Speaker 4: ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: And for those who haven't seen him, explain who he
Speaker 1: is and what he's all about.
Speaker 4: So we were taking professional pictures, Jeff, family pictures on
Speaker 4: our Christmas car that we send out every year. We
Speaker 4: were somewhere in Libertyville or something like that, and we
Speaker 4: were taking family pictures by Pine and you know it's
Speaker 4: I got on like you know, the sweater, the brown
Speaker 4: sweater with the jeans and the nice shoes or sometimes
Speaker 4: take the shoes off. You know, it's the nice family pictures.

Speaker 4: that I'm gonna get in. I said, I'll I'll tell
Speaker 4: my wife, so I'll be right back. She's like, oh
Speaker 4: my gosh, what is he doing? So I go to
Speaker 4: the minivan and I changed in the minivan. I change
Speaker 4: out of the brown sweater with the jeans and everything,
Speaker 4: and I put on his yellow suit with no shirt
Speaker 4: on and come out of the minute to sort of

Speaker 4: off of that meme it is bananas. They flew me
Speaker 4: out to Australia to shoot a commercial over there in Australia.
Speaker 3: Is he the.
Speaker 4: No, that's a whole another character. So each one of
Speaker 4: these characters that went viral, but Lee Lemmons is probably
Speaker 4: it's hard to keep track up who's the guy?
Speaker 3: That's what? That's just that's just me being silly.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: That's just the laugh you have when you get a
Speaker 3: nice haircut. You know how it is.
Speaker 4: You look in the mirror and you're going to pick
Speaker 4: up your girl and you just look at the mirror
Speaker 4: one time and you're like, that's that's That's basically what
Speaker 4: it is. It's universe. Everybody's done that laugh, even your therapy.
Speaker 4: You don't even have no hair, right.
Speaker 1: I used to if you could make time into one
Speaker 1: of your antal egos or come up with a plan,
Speaker 1: what would it be for Tom.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's got to be the grill Master, because you
Speaker 4: know Tom already likes to cook. You know, he's surfing,
Speaker 4: got the dog and all that. That's just that's grill
Speaker 4: master activity right there. You know, he knows what he wants,
Speaker 4: he knows what he likes and goes see, dog is
Speaker 4: right there, Dog is right there.
Speaker 2: That's my guy, Ernie, the grill master.
Speaker 1: Who's that dog? Spuds Mackenzie, You know, time you could
Speaker 1: have made commercials with Ernie. You could have been on
Speaker 1: a surferboard.
Speaker 2: The poor guy doesn't walk too well anymore, so that's
Speaker 2: why he's just kind of here laying next to me,
Speaker 2: and he gets I have two other dogs, Spice that
Speaker 2: sweet Lou and Rudy that pull Ernie in the wagon
Speaker 2: because he doesn't he doesn't walk very well anymore.
Speaker 3: Oh man, Ernie.
Speaker 4: Man, we gotta get Ernie in the Notre Dame camp.
Speaker 3: I have a Ernie and Jeff.
Speaker 2: I have a Bears jersey for Ernie with his name
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: It looks all right.
Speaker 4: We gotta get this popping man. When when is this?
Speaker 4: When is this camp? This fantasy camp?
Speaker 3: I just say this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a busy man.
Speaker 3: You've been working out.
Speaker 4: No, every time I see you, you look like you
Speaker 4: just did some curls or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, no, no, Well we're not going to talk
Speaker 1: about me.
Speaker 2: But this is preseason and you'll be in shape. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure there's a couple of those Notre
Speaker 2: Dame coaches that would love to get a hold of
Speaker 2: the Jeff jon kind of mold.
Speaker 3: Mold that Clay I would volunteer as well. Oh god,
Speaker 3: I would volunteer my time.
Speaker 1: So listen, you've done so much in your life you
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly have envisioned this correct. Maybe the football part,
Speaker 1: But would you say you've had more powerful life altering
Speaker 1: moments in football or as an entertainer.
Speaker 3: I would say.
Speaker 4: Probably as an entertainer because I had no clue like
Speaker 4: what I'd be doing, and it was just it got
Speaker 4: to the point where it was it was scary because
Speaker 4: that's that's all I based my life off of, was
Speaker 4: football for eighteen years. And then when it was when
Speaker 4: I had to give it up, It's like, well, what
Speaker 4: am I going to do now?
Speaker 3: I have no idea?
Speaker 4: And then I created my production company based off of that,
Speaker 4: No Plan Productions, because that's exactly what I had when
Speaker 4: I was done.
Speaker 3: No plan.
Speaker 4: So you talk about life altering, like you wake up
Speaker 4: in the morning and you know you got six miles
Speaker 4: you gotta feed immediately as soon as your eyes open
Speaker 4: and you see all this money going out, you don't
Speaker 4: see any coming back in. So it's like, what am
Speaker 4: I going to do? You know, I prepared myself for
Speaker 4: this day. I didn't know when it was going to happen,
Speaker 4: how it was going to happen. And I always said, Okay,
Speaker 4: I want to save up enough money and liquid where
Speaker 4: I could kind of make my decision in a year
Speaker 4: or two at least two years.
Speaker 3: At least two years.
Speaker 4: I get to try to figure out how am I
Speaker 4: going to get money?
Speaker 3: And you know.
Speaker 4: The fact that I created all these relationships with the media.
Speaker 4: When the Bears gave me an opportunity to do inside
Speaker 4: the Bears, I jumped at it, and you know, I
Speaker 4: wasn't doing anything else, so I'm like, yeah, I might
Speaker 4: as well, you know, just use my personality or whatever.
Speaker 3: That's really all I got going.
Speaker 4: And since I did that, you know, I started making
Speaker 4: all these different videos through social media. I had guys
Speaker 4: like Chris Harris and Earl Bennett, who said, man, we
Speaker 4: see you be funny in the locker room, man, but
Speaker 4: you know, nobody else really get a chance to see you.
Speaker 4: So I started making these videos and I started talking
Speaker 4: to them and say, hey, man, this is You're built
Speaker 4: for social media. But while I was playing, I had
Speaker 4: no idea. Like I had, I didn't want anything to
Speaker 4: do with social media. I'm basing everything off football. I
Speaker 4: don't want to do that, like I. At the time,
Speaker 4: it was one hundred and twenty characters on Twitter, So
Speaker 4: I'm like, you do one hundred and twenty characters of
Speaker 4: your thoughts and people judge you off of your thoughts,
Speaker 4: off of your opinions.
Speaker 3: That's stupid. Why would I want to do that.
Speaker 4: I gotta deal with y'all opinions already in the locker room,
Speaker 4: Like why would I bring the whole world into that?
Speaker 4: And so, you know, based off of that, Chris Harris
Speaker 4: would record me walking into the locker room, just doing
Speaker 4: what I would normally do, and he would post it
Speaker 4: up on Twitter and like, look at all the interactions.
Speaker 3: This is getting it.
Speaker 4: And I was like, what a lot of people care,
Speaker 4: Like what is this is just me acting silly? In
Speaker 4: the weight room. Like every Friday, you would see me
Speaker 4: in the weight room with all type of shark on
Speaker 4: my hand, and I would grab a five pound weight
Speaker 4: and just act like it was five hundred pounds and
Speaker 4: I'd be in there earth.
Speaker 3: It's be funny.
Speaker 4: Every Friday I would do it, and sometimes people will
Speaker 4: record it and put it up, put it up on
Speaker 4: the internet, and it would do well. And I never
Speaker 4: understood why. And then you know, right now it all
Speaker 4: makes sense. You know I would making double a Do.
Speaker 2: They go hand in hand? Though? So would you be
Speaker 2: an entertainer if you didn't play football or did you
Speaker 2: gain confidence to be an entertainer because you played football.
Speaker 4: I was always an entertainer, Yeah, I just never really
Speaker 4: knew it. Me being an only child, I didn't have
Speaker 4: any brothers and sisters. So I used to always put
Speaker 4: on the show when people came up to the house,
Speaker 4: whether I was I used to purposely make myself fall
Speaker 4: down the stairs.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 4: There was a lot of fat stunt man stuff I
Speaker 4: used to do to make people laugh. I would crack jokes,
Speaker 4: I would dance. I would do all these things just
Speaker 4: so people going to be like, hey man, let's go
Speaker 4: at Anthony's house. Man, I'm pretty sure he's gonna do
Speaker 4: something that's gonna make us laugh and let's have a
Speaker 4: good time. So I always wanted people around me to
Speaker 4: have a good time, whether I was football in the
Speaker 4: locker room or just in general, especially at my house because,
Speaker 4: like I said, I was an only child and then
Speaker 4: my mom made me play football. Football is a former entertainment,
Speaker 4: and literally did I know that that's what I needed?
Speaker 4: And I had been doing that for eighteen years, and
Speaker 4: then I just gravitated towards something that I've naturally been
Speaker 4: doing since I was a kid.
Speaker 1: When it's time to tackle some game day deals, then
Speaker 1: go with the grocer who's been a part of Chicago
Speaker 1: since eighteen ninety nine, about the time Anthony Adams rolled
Speaker 1: into Town jewel Asco, the official grocery store of the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. All right, among all.
Speaker 3: The idea, how many how many jobs you did today?
Speaker 1: Well we got we got seven of them, so I
Speaker 1: got a couple more to go.
Speaker 3: Okay, sometimes it's seamless, sometimes it's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it's it's definitely not. But it looks Jeff,
Speaker 1: you de man, Well, I appreciate that. Among the entertainers
Speaker 1: you have, and we're talking about all walks of life,
Speaker 1: obviously those of the unknown variety that you're probably discovering
Speaker 1: and people want to partner with you, and then the
Speaker 1: big the big stars, the silver screen stars, the shacks
Speaker 1: of the world. Has that been something that you've relished,
Speaker 1: the opportunity to work with some of these these folks
Speaker 1: and have they pulled something more out of you that
Speaker 1: you didn't even think you had in you for sure?
Speaker 3: And it's it's been great, you know.
Speaker 4: I know ever thought that I'd be working alongside the
Speaker 4: Rock or Kevin Hart or Shaq or Dion Cole like
Speaker 4: all these people that you see on TV all the time.
Speaker 4: I've been fortunate enough to work with and they've also
Speaker 4: you know, pulled me over to the side and say,
Speaker 4: hey man, maybe you should work on this, or I
Speaker 4: like how you do this, blah blah blah, and you know,
Speaker 4: they give me tips along the way, and my wife
Speaker 4: hates when I do it, but I always like, just
Speaker 4: just break everything down in the football terms where it's
Speaker 4: like if you if you at practice and you're doing
Speaker 4: a play and somebody comes to say, hey man, why
Speaker 4: don't you try doing that? In your left hand stance.
Speaker 4: Why don't you try doing it this way? So it's
Speaker 4: the same thing when it comes to acting or you know,
Speaker 4: performing in front of people. Why don't you try it
Speaker 4: this way? Why don't you do it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Okay, So it's great to get different tips and things
Speaker 4: like that from a guy like Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: So, like I said, I never thought that I would
Speaker 4: be in this position. And you know, I'm just trying
Speaker 4: to live in a moment and you know, be a
Speaker 4: role model to my kids so they'll know that football
Speaker 4: was what I is, what I did, It's not who
Speaker 4: I am. So I think that, you know, sky is
Speaker 4: the limit for what I do. And I'm just trying
Speaker 4: to provide for my kids, man, and make you proud, Jeff,
Speaker 4: So you can say, hey, I know that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am proud. I am proud.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 1: We used to have conversations in the locker room all
Speaker 1: the time when you were a player.
Speaker 4: They were you know, I either which one did you
Speaker 4: enjoy better, me as a player or me being on
Speaker 4: the media side.
Speaker 1: Oh now, just being fun? Yeah, no, you were quite serious.
Speaker 1: We got into some very serious conversations with which we
Speaker 1: don't have enough time to explore. But you know, I
Speaker 1: remember this though, Tommy. One of the things that really
Speaker 1: bugged him was, you know, he he only played two
Speaker 1: playoff games and he got to the Bears after they
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl in two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: and you went to the playoffs once, but you played
Speaker 1: two games in twenty ten, and that should have been
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, to be honest. NFC Championship game. I
Speaker 1: can still remember it all sadly Green Bay Packers, but
Speaker 1: it's probably and you you were really upset because you
Speaker 1: never went in high school either. I mean you had
Speaker 1: bowl games at Penn State though, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the thing is, though, there's nothing like playoff football.
Speaker 1: And I texted Tommy the other day after the ORFC
Speaker 1: Championship and I said, I'm depressed, Like this is depressing,
Speaker 1: and tom said, I'm so depressed. I'm having anxiety because
Speaker 1: we're both we just we need to experience more success.
Speaker 2: Well, it's got a is. I'm so envious of the
Speaker 2: position these guys are in because I I I got
Speaker 2: to be there at one time. That I can't even
Speaker 2: watch the end of the NFC and AFC Championship game.
Speaker 2: I have to turn it off because I I'm like,
Speaker 2: it gives me anxiety to watch the celebration and that
Speaker 2: that instant, that moment of time that these guys know
Speaker 2: what's what's going on. So I don't know if you're
Speaker 2: that psycho about it, but you know I am, and
Speaker 2: I just don't enjoy watching other people have that celebration.
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's the worst.
Speaker 4: Man. I was just I was just talking yesterday on
Speaker 4: the radio about the night before the NFC Championship. I
Speaker 4: look myself in the mirror and I'm like, don't be
Speaker 4: that guy. Don't be that guy saying I should have
Speaker 4: could have put it. Don't be that guy saying I
Speaker 4: was one game away from the super Bowl. And here
Speaker 4: I am saying it.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 4: I was one game away, one game away. And I
Speaker 4: remember when we first came out. They had a great script,
Speaker 4: they had a great fifteen play scripted, and the drive
Speaker 4: they came down and they scored the next time they
Speaker 4: got the ball, they came down and they scored, and
Speaker 4: that was it. That's all we gave up defensively was
Speaker 4: fourteen points.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: This was from a team that went down to Atlanta
Speaker 4: and I think they probably put up forty five points.
Speaker 3: So I'm just.
Speaker 4: Like, oh my gosh, like I kicked myself all the time.
Speaker 4: When Irlacker got the interception, if I could have got
Speaker 4: a block on Aaron Rodgers, he wouldn't have been able
Speaker 4: to trip lack.
Speaker 3: Lacker goes in and scores that touchdown.
Speaker 4: Then maybe we go to overtime, or maybe we win
Speaker 4: by a touchdown. I don't know, We'll never know, but
Speaker 4: I was I was dead tired on that play. I
Speaker 4: was we I think me and Tommy had a stunt
Speaker 4: and you know where I kind of slant the gap
Speaker 4: and Tommy comes around or however it played out.
Speaker 3: But I was dead tired.
Speaker 4: And I remember seeing the foot of Aaron Rodgers like
Speaker 4: just jump over my hand. If I could have got
Speaker 4: up it just got just a bump on him, he
Speaker 4: wouldn't have been able to trip up Earlacker.
Speaker 1: So well, it's interesting because people may who remember it
Speaker 1: was twenty one to fourteen the final, but the defense
Speaker 1: when they gave up fourteen and bj Raji deep in
Speaker 1: the south end of Soldier Field, and I went to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that year and covered it. In Dom
Speaker 1: Caper's the defensive coordinator, I pulled him aside, I said,
Speaker 1: tell me about that play, because I'm glad you asked,
Speaker 1: he goes it was the only time I used that
Speaker 1: play call the entire year. We practiced it in training camp,
Speaker 1: never used it until that moment, and it was a
Speaker 1: zone drop by bj Raji nose tackle. Like do you
Speaker 1: think about the detail of coaching and something like that
Speaker 1: the guy can pull out of his vast memory bank
Speaker 1: of options in the most important moment of a game,
Speaker 1: and that that was the difference. That was the difference
Speaker 1: of them going to the Super Bowl. I respect that.
Speaker 1: I respect that, I really do. He took advantage of
Speaker 1: an inexperienced quarterback at the time who didn't see it,
Speaker 1: and that was Caleb Haney at the time.
Speaker 2: So crazy, I think that happens more often than you
Speaker 2: get a chance to interview the coach that it specifically
Speaker 2: happened to. You know, because if you go back to
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago when Detroit had Taylor Decker
Speaker 2: go in and you know, make himself eligible, and then
Speaker 2: the officials kind of screwed it up. They ran the play,
Speaker 2: they ran us successfully. He was completely uncovered and then
Speaker 2: you know, the the officials said, you know, the whole
Speaker 2: reporting incident. So I do believe that when you get
Speaker 2: into this so late in the season, there's always a
Speaker 2: play in memory bank of the offensive defensive coordinator and
Speaker 2: maybe they head coach that they say, Okay, we've been practicing,
Speaker 2: this is the one instance where we need it, and
Speaker 2: they do it and it, you know, works successfully and
Speaker 2: they're not aware of it or you know, did it's
Speaker 2: it falls short or whatever the result of it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a that's that's good coaching too.
Speaker 4: Man. Like, we we did a lot of different fronts
Speaker 4: when we had Coach Marinelli, but we wouldn't do the
Speaker 4: same thing against Baltimore Ravens because the Ravens do a
Speaker 4: lot of unbalanced So you know, it'd be a lot
Speaker 4: of times where we play a certain team and you know,
Speaker 4: you get to the point where it's like, hey, I
Speaker 4: cannot draw up the play, all right, you guys got
Speaker 4: to go out there and make it happen. So it
Speaker 4: may be sometimes where we say, hey, all right, let's
Speaker 4: let's run a play that we did against Carolina and.
Speaker 3: From last year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we had built up that rapport and we
Speaker 4: had did everything there was to do in a cover
Speaker 4: two that we could just look at each other and
Speaker 4: just give each other signals, which is that's what we
Speaker 4: did because it's kind of hard to communicate a defensive
Speaker 4: end to a defensive end on the other side, Like
Speaker 4: you know, you got to be able to use hand
Speaker 4: signals and stuff like that to kind of communicate with
Speaker 4: are defensive line mates. And you know we did that
Speaker 4: a lot of times. But that comes from good coach.
Speaker 1: I circle back here to Eric Washington before we wrap
Speaker 1: up a couple of quick things. So your old defensive
Speaker 1: line coach in your latter part of your career with
Speaker 1: the Bears, So that was his entree to the NFL.
Speaker 1: You had worked in college game Northwestern. A very very
Speaker 1: very nice man, very smart, and he's risen through the ranks.
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera took him over to Carolina, who's defensive line coach,
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. He's also in the last four years been
Speaker 1: in senior positions with the Buffalo Bills, including assistant head
Speaker 1: coach and senior defensive assistant, as well as coaching defensive line.
Speaker 1: What about him in impressed you what a bottom resonates
Speaker 1: with you and how he'll help what already is a
Speaker 1: very good defensive line coach here with the Bears and
Speaker 1: help coordinate the game plan for Maddy Reflution.
Speaker 4: Well, he learned from one of the goats of the game,
Speaker 4: the historian. If you will, Rob Marinelli is the best.
Speaker 4: I remember when coach Manelli first came to the Bears,
Speaker 4: his first conversation with us was I am the why.
Speaker 3: And I said, what does that mean? What do you
Speaker 3: mean you are the why?
Speaker 4: He was like, if you have a question of why
Speaker 4: in this defense, I will give you an answer. I
Speaker 4: know everything there is to know about this cover two
Speaker 4: and why we run it on cover three. When the
Speaker 4: linebackers got their back to the quarterback, you got to
Speaker 4: get to the passer. You have to affect his throw
Speaker 4: because these linebackers are trusted in you that you be
Speaker 4: able to handle everything up front. So it's a run,
Speaker 4: you got to take care of it. If it's a pass,
Speaker 4: then you have to make sure he passes it quick
Speaker 4: or you sack.
Speaker 3: Him, or you hit him, or you knock the ball out.
Speaker 4: And so he said, hey, I'm gonna give you the keys,
Speaker 4: and you go out there and you make it happen.
Speaker 4: So Coach Washington was there for all of that. He
Speaker 4: sat down he took notes, he talked to everybody on
Speaker 4: the side, and then when it was his time to
Speaker 4: become the guy, you're the defensive line coach. He got
Speaker 4: that chance when he went to Carolina. But you know,
Speaker 4: he still would pull us over to the side and say, hey,
Speaker 4: you need to work on this, you need to work
Speaker 4: on that. And you know, he was just he was
Speaker 4: a great guy. He was thorough. He he was on
Speaker 4: top of his stuff. He knew the terminology, you know,
Speaker 4: if you got a gap in a half or if
Speaker 4: you got a coffee house, like all of these different terminologies.
Speaker 4: He learned from coach from Baronelly and it was just
Speaker 4: like a seamless transition when he became the defensive line coach.
Speaker 4: So I'm excited for him. And you know, he's going
Speaker 4: to be defensive coordinator and his emphasis, of course is
Speaker 4: going to be on the defensive line because you know,
Speaker 4: you you with one of the goats, like you with
Speaker 4: Mary Nelly. Man, I'm so happy for coach Washington. It's
Speaker 4: you know, it's been full circle for him.
Speaker 3: Man. I'm glad he got the opportunity to be a
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator here.
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coming up. The voting will find out
Speaker 1: February eighth. And you got two former teammates.
Speaker 3: Oh significant Jeff.
Speaker 1: Devin Hester is one. Julius Pepper's part of that twenty
Speaker 1: ten team, one of the best free agent signings the
Speaker 1: Bears have had here in the last twenty years. Who
Speaker 1: we need to talk to j know, hit your knees
Speaker 1: and pray. And Steve McMichael part of the family too.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's all a rap as well. You can book it.
Speaker 1: It'll probably be the Bears in the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: game in Canton in the summer. But anyway, it's no brainers.
Speaker 3: Correct, Yes, yeah, ain't no question.
Speaker 4: I know Pep's getting there. Pepper is a cyboard. I've
Speaker 4: never seen a person like Pep. I had an argument
Speaker 4: with my son. Is my test sweat? He's like Pep
Speaker 4: or like who, No, he is not? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 4: If practice was at three, I'm getting there at eleven.
Speaker 4: I got a stretch, i gotta get in a hot tub,
Speaker 4: i gotta get in cold tub. I'm doing pilates, I'm
Speaker 4: doing hot yoga, I'm doing all.
Speaker 3: These different stretches.
Speaker 4: Pep gets there at two thirty and he just he
Speaker 4: puts his stuff on it and it goes out to practice.
Speaker 4: No tape, he does the tape. I gotta get my
Speaker 4: ankles taped. I gotta put a sesamoid pad up under
Speaker 4: my foot so that I could alleviate the pain that
Speaker 4: I get in my big toes plural big toes. I've
Speaker 4: had turf toe and both of my big toes. So
Speaker 4: I got to get a special type of tape. I'm
Speaker 4: basically it takes at least forty five minutes or something
Speaker 4: just to tape up my ankles the way that they
Speaker 4: need to be taped. So of course I got to
Speaker 4: get there early. And you know it's sixty people on
Speaker 4: the team, so I got to get there early. Pep
Speaker 4: shows up at two point thirty and just put on
Speaker 4: the basic stuff shoe, socks, passed, showlder pants, boom, let's go.
Speaker 4: Sometimes two forty five. I'm like, how is this bo
Speaker 4: And we'll be out on the field. Everybody's stretching, I
Speaker 4: mean you sweating everybody. Pep is standing there with his
Speaker 4: hands on his shoulder pass watching everybody else stretch. They
Speaker 4: blow the whistle and you know, they put the defensive
Speaker 4: line way on the other side of the practice field.
Speaker 4: So we got to run like crazy from you know,
Speaker 4: stretch to where we got individual drills. Pep running a
Speaker 4: four to six booking it. I'm like, dude, I've been
Speaker 4: here since eleven. I've already played the game all ready,
Speaker 4: like I've never seen it. I remember one time Pep
Speaker 4: hurt his wrists. This is the first time ever going
Speaker 4: into the training room. Like he didn't even know how
Speaker 4: to handle it. He didn't even know how to under like,
Speaker 4: how to explain the pain he was feeling. Hey, I
Speaker 4: gat some type of sensation in my wrist where it's
Speaker 4: not allowing me to get full I can't get the
Speaker 4: full range of motion. I don't understand what it. Pep,
Speaker 4: you're this thing that they call hurt. I don't know
Speaker 4: if you've ever felt this type of pain before. But
Speaker 4: we coming here in the training room to rehab it. Oh,
Speaker 4: I didn't know what the room was for. I just
Speaker 4: thought it was.
Speaker 3: Just like that. He had no clue that but this
Speaker 3: is what we're talking about. But anyway, that's just Pep.
Speaker 4: Devin Hester is the best kick returner, punt returner ever.
Speaker 4: I don't understand how he didn't get in last year.
Speaker 4: I don't understand it.
Speaker 3: But he definitely should be in.
Speaker 4: It's a no brainer between him and Pep and of
Speaker 4: course Mango, And of course I'm biased, but Devin Hester,
Speaker 4: are you kidding me? Do you know how many people
Speaker 4: kicked out of bounds like you risk getting the ball?
Speaker 4: We got the ball on the forty You would rather
Speaker 4: do that? All we need is but.
Speaker 3: To three first dollars? Maybe we kick a field goal
Speaker 3: with Robbie Gold. Come on, man, are you that's who
Speaker 3: we're talking about? Could you?
Speaker 1: Could you do? Could you do? Jeff Joniak calling a
Speaker 1: Devin Hester kickoff return for a touchdown on cue Ready,
Speaker 1: Kevin Hester?
Speaker 3: O jeless?
Speaker 1: I mean I need I needed to say you from
Speaker 1: the from the from the catch to the touchdown. But
Speaker 1: that I'll take a concert.
Speaker 3: By Juel Osco and then you're doing drop like right.
Speaker 1: After well like this Visy heart Seltzer, the official Heart
Speaker 1: Seltzer of the Chicago Bears Anthony Adams in our remaining
Speaker 1: moments here. You ever want to do a movie?
Speaker 3: Yes? Why not?
Speaker 4: I got four kids? Man, I want to do anything
Speaker 4: when they paying me a lot of money. Yeah, tuition
Speaker 4: ain't going down.
Speaker 1: Jeff dominic can be extras in your movie.
Speaker 4: Oh, let's do it, man, you know what we should do.
Speaker 4: We do a movie on fantasy football.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3: There you add Notre Dame add Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: Shack could be the quarterback camp.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you would never get the ball. You would
Speaker 4: never get it'll never get there. Have you seen this man?
Speaker 4: This guy hands if you shook his hand, like his
Speaker 4: fingers would be like on your forearm like that.
Speaker 3: He can't. Have you seen him drink like a regular
Speaker 3: twelve ounce can? It is unbelievable man, Like.
Speaker 4: It looks like you know those those little bottles that
Speaker 4: you get in like Costco, the little bottles of water
Speaker 4: where it's like three ounce bottles. That's what he makes
Speaker 4: the twelve ounce look like like it is. It is crazy,
Speaker 4: how like big of a human being? This guy is?
Speaker 2: You know who you like in the Super Bowl? Kind
Speaker 2: of basic? And I don't want your old affiliation with
Speaker 2: the Niners when you look at it as a football player,
Speaker 2: you know who what do you like? Who do you
Speaker 2: like in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4: I would think that San Francisco's defense should be up
Speaker 4: for the challenge like this is this is what you
Speaker 4: dream about, like you got no excuses. Patrick Mahomes is healthy,
Speaker 4: Travis Kelce is healthy. Like, let's let's go up against
Speaker 4: your best. Let's go let's let's let's go up against
Speaker 4: your best, your best and our best, and and let's
Speaker 4: see what happens. Like there's there's no greater feeling than
Speaker 4: taking down the big dog. Like they they they've won
Speaker 4: multiple Super Bowls. Now you got a chance to You
Speaker 4: can dictate the game. You could come around the edge
Speaker 4: and knock the ball out of Patrick Mahons's hands and
Speaker 4: you scoop it up and you score. You could intercept
Speaker 4: the ball. You could give him fits all that, just
Speaker 4: give him a game that he would want to forget.
Speaker 3: You have the power to do that.
Speaker 4: And this is a challenge for San Francisco's defense, and
Speaker 4: you gotta get up for that, like you gotta, like
Speaker 4: how I did, look at yourself in the mirror and say,
Speaker 4: let's let's.
Speaker 3: Go all out. Don't be that guy. Don't be Anthony Adams.
Speaker 4: Don't be me saying I was one game away or
Speaker 4: I got to the big dance and we couldn't actually
Speaker 4: dance after the game was over, Like, man, this is
Speaker 4: this is a huge challenge, man, and I would. I
Speaker 4: always love challenges, and I think that's why, you know,
Speaker 4: I played as long as I did, you know, because
Speaker 4: I was just a glutting for punishment and I just
Speaker 4: I wanted to be the best. But uh, this is
Speaker 4: a great opportunity for San Francisco's defense to, you know,
Speaker 4: take it upon themselves to say, hey, we're going to
Speaker 4: take over this game.
Speaker 2: Well that's your golden ticket. Jeane Wilder, so so much,
Speaker 2: do so little time Willie walk in the chocolate factory.
Speaker 2: That's what that line is from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never saw that movie.
Speaker 3: Oh, get on.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not something i'd ever watch.
Speaker 2: Many cavities, Yeah, I have no cavities. I'm a chocolate guy.
Speaker 2: Football was my golden ticket.
Speaker 1: I love chocolate.
Speaker 2: But you know, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: All right, random thought.
Speaker 4: Jeff, always follow the rules. That's just that's what it is.
Speaker 2: You are, right, number two pencil, No cavities, shoes shined,
Speaker 2: you know all.
Speaker 3: Make me sick, Jeff, Never make me sick.
Speaker 1: Never had a cigarette?
Speaker 3: You make me sick, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Random thought. This was from Anthony Adams this week. Is
Speaker 1: there anybody that sleeps with their socks? On and if so, why,
Speaker 1: why why that? And what kind of answers you getting.
Speaker 3: Tommy Hares sleeps IEA.
Speaker 1: I sleep on my shocks.
Speaker 2: And sometimes I have to get up in the middle
Speaker 2: of the night and take them out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like cold feet.
Speaker 4: I think Tommy has some of the worst looking feet.
Speaker 4: Like between him and Shack is the worst song. I
Speaker 4: would imagine that he sleeps with his socks on. He
Speaker 4: has to, like for other people's safety.
Speaker 1: All right, one funny thing to ramp us up, and
Speaker 1: we gotta go and again. We are sponsored by several folks,
