Speaker 1: Coming up with a Get Loud podcast. Of course we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Dallas Week. Of course we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about things and the lonely time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, superstition is something.
Speaker 3: Hey knowing guys. It is to Get Loud Podcast with jameson.
Speaker 1: Smooth, presented by See Geek, the official Chickny partner of
Speaker 1: your Hollday Holidays.
Speaker 4: Ooh, we should do an album, you know what we
Speaker 4: should because I am a crooner, you know, like I
Speaker 4: played the piano as a side job too also, so.
Speaker 2: That's why really anytime I do karaoka, I do a
Speaker 2: lot of Elton jug Oh.
Speaker 3: I could come into the background and be like, dude.
Speaker 4: See yellow Brick Road is my goal to see everybody.
Speaker 4: You gotta yodel when you get into that Yellow Brick Road.
Speaker 3: You love that that's your favorite song?
Speaker 4: Right close to it, that's my favorite Elton John's okay,
Speaker 4: all right, So you know I'm all over the plateau
Speaker 4: when it come to music.
Speaker 2: Like, I like a little bit of it.
Speaker 1: All well, you will be listening to sad songs if
Speaker 1: you were talking about this game, because it was not
Speaker 1: the best performance for the comm So look, we can
Speaker 1: go into the weeds here, But I think more than anything,
Speaker 1: what I'd like to know us, and I think what
Speaker 1: a lot of people would like to know us. When
Speaker 1: you're in a position like this, yes, and you're sort
Speaker 1: of in a tail spin, how do you get out
Speaker 1: of it as a profession where.
Speaker 2: You're talking to the right person?
Speaker 4: Because I started off of my career here oh and six,
Speaker 4: and we had some other stores where we had to
Speaker 4: just set everything down and axi ourselves and talk to
Speaker 4: the players and talk to each other and say, how
Speaker 4: are we losing these games?
Speaker 2: What's to come? And denominator.
Speaker 4: So we take the last five games, we bring them up,
Speaker 4: and we only watch them as a team. Push the
Speaker 4: coaches out. This ain't about you, This ain't about the
Speaker 4: exits and O. This is about the Jimmy and the Jones.
Speaker 4: Get in here and we kind of self correct. That's
Speaker 4: what we do, especially when we lose to a team
Speaker 4: that we feel like playing for player health wise, we
Speaker 4: was better in position, third screen, quarterback, We had everything
Speaker 4: working in our favor.
Speaker 2: But yet and still we seem to give these games up.
Speaker 2: What's to come? Denominated?
Speaker 4: It seems to be playing We play our best games
Speaker 4: on the road. Why do we have a bunker mentality?
Speaker 4: Do we have the mentality?
Speaker 1: Up?
Speaker 2: We played better when it's everybody against us?
Speaker 1: Is it that?
Speaker 2: Truly? We play better as an underdog because when we're overdog, it.
Speaker 4: Just never seems like we're focused on crossing those t's
Speaker 4: and Dotingo's eyes. And I think that what has a
Speaker 4: lot to do with it, because then it's all about finishing.
Speaker 4: It's all about.
Speaker 2: Completing the mission. And even though as bad as it was,
Speaker 2: we turned the ball over six times, still we had
Speaker 2: a chance to win that game at the end.
Speaker 1: So I loved what John Allen said after the game,
Speaker 1: which is, you need to ask yourself and my part
Speaker 1: of the solution of the part of the body.
Speaker 2: And that's what we was talking.
Speaker 4: That's what we talk about in these meetings. That's how
Speaker 4: we hold each other accountable. No coaches in there. Now,
Speaker 4: we could sit up there and be rudely honest with
Speaker 4: each other. You know, James, what was you doing on
Speaker 4: the third down?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 4: I was I was trying to get this done, but
Speaker 4: it was outside of the play call, and that's how
Speaker 4: you got out of there.
Speaker 2: We schmooth.
Speaker 4: What was you doing when you gave up that favor?
Speaker 4: Out man, it was my technique. I should have probably
Speaker 4: played them outside safety. Next time I pat my thigh.
Speaker 4: I just know I'm not finna move. I'm finna go
Speaker 4: try to get this bob. So it's like a family,
Speaker 4: Like when things going wrong with your family, y'all sit
Speaker 4: down over dinner, y'all hash it out, and y'all move on.
Speaker 2: And I think that's what they have to do.
Speaker 3: How do you do that in a way where because
Speaker 3: everyone has an ego, you.
Speaker 2: Don't offend anybody.
Speaker 3: Well, and you're gonna get offended, leave your ego at
Speaker 3: the door.
Speaker 4: Well, tell you that before this meeting. When we had
Speaker 4: this meeting, you know for a fact, I ain't nothing.
Speaker 4: We ain't in here the power out here.
Speaker 2: This won't be good. You're not in here to praise anybody.
Speaker 4: Indeed, everybody knows no matter how good of a game
Speaker 4: you had, you threw for four hundred one, enough, rest
Speaker 4: for two hundred one another. Like so everybody in the
Speaker 4: room though, we ain't doing enough as a collective group.
Speaker 4: And we know in pro sports you either work together.
Speaker 4: Are y'all playing to be on divided on other teams?
Speaker 4: Because the one thing they don't do, they're just not
Speaker 4: gonna keep guys just playing the game to get that's
Speaker 4: not winning football game.
Speaker 1: A buddy of mine in that same vein he had
Speaker 1: hired a guy to work for him in the restaurant
Speaker 1: business here in DC. It's a kid like he would
Speaker 1: just kind of come up rough around the edges a
Speaker 1: little bit, but had the grind to him and he said, hey, listen, man,
Speaker 1: I just need you to know, like before we close up,
Speaker 1: we need to do this and this and this kid
Speaker 1: and me was like, well, there's a problem.
Speaker 2: We can take care of me.
Speaker 3: He's like, yo, listen, no, no, no, no, no, Like we're.
Speaker 2: On the same We're on the same side.
Speaker 3: We're on the same side here. We have a common goal,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 4: And this the whole thing when you gotta come and go.
Speaker 4: First of all, Number one, what is the go to?
Speaker 4: How do we get there?
Speaker 2: Three?
Speaker 4: What's been hindering us? Like I was always told young,
Speaker 4: very young age Steve McNair, never forget it. He used
Speaker 4: to throw this dream camp in Mississippi, Steve McNair, Jerry Rice,
Speaker 4: all of the grace that was playing at the time.
Speaker 4: Then you got us high schoolers just right under him,
Speaker 4: and they would come out and this wasn't no regular camp.
Speaker 4: They went out here teaching. They was out here actually
Speaker 4: like doing the with us. Steve was to sell them
Speaker 4: on salmon. Quarterback Jerry was to wind out Jimmy Smith
Speaker 4: wind out. I'm walking up on Jimmy Smith as a
Speaker 4: tenth grade level and he just maudeling me like so.
Speaker 2: But but guess what they told us? The price to
Speaker 2: pay the ball to be the boss.
Speaker 4: And they said something that always stuck out with me,
Speaker 4: this little brown football not only could change your life,
Speaker 4: this can show you the world.
Speaker 2: And I've lived it and it has shown me the world.
Speaker 2: And that with the thing about it.
Speaker 4: So sometimes you need to get roughed up, yep to
Speaker 4: really understand what game you were part of.
Speaker 1: What's the one time, maybe there was multiple times, but
Speaker 1: one thing that stands out to you in your career
Speaker 1: could be a tough game, touch stretch and you kind
Speaker 1: of had to sit down with yourself and say, I
Speaker 1: need to think about what I need to do here
Speaker 1: and how I want.
Speaker 4: To approach this movie forward. Great question, Jenks, that would
Speaker 4: make you a professional? I would probably say when I
Speaker 4: was in Minnesota my second year, it started to you know,
Speaker 4: they always say oh boo boo, roll down.
Speaker 2: Here, you know.
Speaker 4: So it started off I come in, I'm kind of
Speaker 4: thickest out and ever being like two hundred pound fresh
Speaker 4: ain't pounds.
Speaker 2: Then it's I'm sluggish.
Speaker 4: Then my brother dies during the season, and then I
Speaker 4: just never could shake it off, and I was just
Speaker 4: for a little bit, I just just lost love for
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't focus like I'm hyper focused. I just was floating.
Speaker 4: And that's when I said, at the end of the year,
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm emotionally not happy, I'm mentally not happy.
Speaker 4: And that's when I went in the office with Ziggy
Speaker 4: Will and the rest of these guys and got myself
Speaker 4: traded back here and I smiled the whole time. So
Speaker 4: sometimes you have to push the reset button. But the
Speaker 4: first thing you got to do is be self aware.
Speaker 4: And I told him I have nothing against Minnesota. I
Speaker 4: love Minnesota as a place. I just don't think you
Speaker 4: will ever get the best friend smooth, You'll never get
Speaker 4: the best version. Not why coach Gibbs over there, Yeah,
Speaker 4: not why I'm looking over there missing him. Like so,
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, if you really want
Speaker 4: this to work, let's just break up.
Speaker 2: Emably and make it good. And that's why I was
Speaker 2: no drama with it because I was good. They was good,
Speaker 2: cause Gibbs was good.
Speaker 4: I got I got on the phone call Coach Gibb like, yeah,
Speaker 4: they said, if you can trade for me, and they're like,
Speaker 4: give me thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: I'm back.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you a question. You don't want to
Speaker 3: talk about it, we can start over.
Speaker 1: But I lost my brother a few years ago, and
Speaker 1: as anyone who has lost someone, yeah, you never really
Speaker 1: get over that.
Speaker 2: Now, you just you just learned to live with it.
Speaker 1: So my question is, since that happened while you were playing,
Speaker 1: how much did it help you coming back to DC
Speaker 1: and being under someone like Joe gibbson WHW I know
Speaker 1: you were here.
Speaker 4: Because he's nurturing. Yes, like Coach Gibbs has d like
Speaker 4: it's a couple of different coaches. You got your disciplinarian,
Speaker 4: you got your genius, then you got your guy with
Speaker 4: the Granddaddy effect, and Coach Gils was actually a sprinkle
Speaker 4: of all three, all right, So that Granddaddy effect, that's
Speaker 4: when you would run through a brick wild for you
Speaker 4: don't have to ask him twice. I'm here to protect him.
Speaker 4: You know how you feel about your grand But then
Speaker 4: you got that mad scientist and that genius, and today
Speaker 4: people would probably say Shannon hand like, so you got
Speaker 4: the guys that's just gonna really get on that paper
Speaker 4: and do it.
Speaker 2: But he knew it. He knew it, He knew how
Speaker 2: to let me be me.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's always understood you at your court,
Speaker 3: at my court.
Speaker 4: He knew I love football, he like, he said, boy
Speaker 4: who loves the practice every day? Like I love the
Speaker 4: practice every day. The game just ain't promised, he like,
Speaker 4: because nobody I come out to practice.
Speaker 2: I'm full in it.
Speaker 4: I'm full of gold. Everybody's scratching. I'm walking around talking
Speaker 4: to allay. He like, he knew I could bring a
Speaker 4: team together, gavanize a team. And I think every player
Speaker 4: has to have another job besides catching the ball, intercepting
Speaker 4: the ball, tackling the ball. You got to have some
Speaker 4: people that have to connect the tissue to a team.
Speaker 4: And I think coach Gibbs and Coach Gibbs is right
Speaker 4: what I needed at that time. I don't think if
Speaker 4: I go to the charges, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Fat like between him and Greg Williams, they was right
Speaker 4: what I need because Gregg is your main scientist, and
Speaker 4: Coach Gibbs is my granddad.
Speaker 1: I love that we're gonna talk about the cowboys. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Thanksgiving first, We're gonna pay some biz.

Speaker 4: would close.

Speaker 2: to come on? Oh yeah. I was watching these old.

Speaker 2: old people do they fall? I was sure, you.
Speaker 3: Don't mean fail, you mean fall, I mean fall on
Speaker 3: the ground.
Speaker 2: After Bob just told you come on down, like come
Speaker 2: on man. Everybody wanted that man. Everybody wanted that situation
Speaker 2: for a while.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that documentary where the dude got
Speaker 1: both He nailed to a dollar, like the exact like
Speaker 1: the showcase showdown got it down to the dollar. It's
Speaker 1: because he was using someone else in the audience, and
Speaker 1: the guy in the audience was the one who had
Speaker 1: done all the research and he had this spreadsheet over years,
Speaker 1: knew everything down to the dollar. So this guy who
Speaker 1: won both showcases was watching a guy in the audience
Speaker 1: and got them both. And the crazy thing about it
Speaker 1: is this is how you knew that the Price is
Speaker 1: right figured something was up. Is that when Drew Carrey says, hey,
Speaker 1: you want both showcases, he didn't even get excited.
Speaker 3: He's like, hmm, you know that got them both? Ye,
Speaker 3: and just walks away And you're like, that's weird.
Speaker 4: Hey, listen to me. People with five ways to cheat
Speaker 4: on everything, it.
Speaker 2: Ain't nothing you can do.
Speaker 4: The price is right actually with one of the easier
Speaker 4: game to cheat, because if you know something. Come on,
Speaker 4: we know what the average car they was never putting
Speaker 4: Mercedes on there, right, putting lower cards on there?
Speaker 2: Who don't know how much refrigerator cars? Like they had
Speaker 2: items over here.
Speaker 4: I used to watch him people be like ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 2: I'm like they talking about a pillow? What are you guessing?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: What's really going on with you? Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: It is not my best transition, ye Patrick Mahmes, because
Speaker 1: I don't know how to transition to this.
Speaker 3: He says that he wears a lucky.
Speaker 5: Pair of underwear, underwear red pair of underwear Superman, given
Speaker 5: to him by his wife years ago, not months ago,
Speaker 5: years ago, and that he wears that pair before each
Speaker 5: and every single game.
Speaker 2: Yep, so all, let me share this with you all
Speaker 2: sports athletes. Track. I don't care a NASCAR. We are
Speaker 2: so superstitious. We could be the most superstitious people on
Speaker 2: the earth.
Speaker 4: If we have a good game wearing any apparel, it's
Speaker 4: gonna be whoa until we have a bad game.
Speaker 2: That's just how we are.
Speaker 4: I used to have this pair of socks, Okay, I
Speaker 4: started wearing them my rookie year. I wore my first
Speaker 4: game against San Diego. I had an interception, sem tackles
Speaker 4: form a recovery, Rookie of the Week, play defensive player
Speaker 4: of the week, and I roll those socks jinx until
Speaker 4: like week fifteen, when I was like, it ain't no
Speaker 4: sock left yep, all right, And it was.
Speaker 2: Only like you know how you got a ristband.
Speaker 4: The top of the sock is what I had left,
Speaker 4: the bottom gone, the toes gone. So I would just
Speaker 4: wear the sock band really amongst my other socks. You
Speaker 4: just put it on the top for three years.
Speaker 2: No, no, I just make it part of it.
Speaker 4: I was like, I just need a piece of that sock,
Speaker 4: Like I'm literally like like somebody that's addicted. You got
Speaker 4: some socks, and I would wear any remembered of those socks.
Speaker 2: This is every player.
Speaker 4: So once he said it down, like I have seen
Speaker 4: like players do like way worse. I got players that
Speaker 4: had undershirts that they had made, they cut all up,
Speaker 4: they put like people name on them. Yeah, and if
Speaker 4: they had a game, they would never wash it and
Speaker 4: it would stink like when I say stink, it would
Speaker 4: stink and they'd be like, no, I can't wash it,
Speaker 4: Like whatever works for you, baby, Like patrickhome seid he
Speaker 4: doesn't wash his drugs unless.
Speaker 2: Listen and it's working. A couple of MVPs come to
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Patrick, let me borrow them.
Speaker 3: Draw When did you stop wearing the sock? Did you
Speaker 3: ever stop wearing them?
Speaker 2: Once it became clue clear to me that it wasn't
Speaker 2: nothing left.
Speaker 4: Yeah, once I got to the band, I was like,
Speaker 4: you know what, maybe I just need to push the
Speaker 4: reset button. It just you know, try to take control
Speaker 4: of my own destiny. Yeah, and buy me a new
Speaker 4: pair of socks. So then what it was like, we
Speaker 4: are to the point where there was certain cliques.
Speaker 2: How would wear like?
Speaker 4: I wore the same pair of claks every time I
Speaker 4: played bread Fardy's Jordan Claks and I picked breath off.
Speaker 2: Like five times. So did I believe it was me?
Speaker 2: Of the shoes?
Speaker 1: It was me?
Speaker 2: But with these shoes over makes me britt fav dominant. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So we play these mentals.
Speaker 3: I started saying, so mental, it's.
Speaker 2: So mental, and we play these mental games with ourselves.
Speaker 4: I had cliques that I played so bad that I
Speaker 4: left them in the state in the stadium and we
Speaker 4: just played it. Left them in Carolina. Never want to
Speaker 4: walk in those shoes again.
Speaker 3: Is that the game where he came back and you
Speaker 3: have the button yard?
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so just clarifying, I left the.
Speaker 4: Shoes in Carolina only to ride home with a butt toxicgether.
Speaker 4: So you have these times like players do this. Jason Campbell,
Speaker 4: my quarterback, was the same.
Speaker 3: Way with a pair of blue Oh your were okay.
Speaker 4: We used to call him heck saw Jim Duggins and
Speaker 4: he and he played so bad in Temple one year.
Speaker 4: I just got up and said, if you don't leave
Speaker 4: these draws and tell I know something. Them draws are
Speaker 4: not getting back on the plane. They are not getting
Speaker 4: back on the plane head at the dully, not with us.
Speaker 4: So we add superstititions. I think coaches are very superstitious.
Speaker 3: Also, Oh no, that so what is the knock you
Speaker 3: want to knock anyone?
Speaker 1: Because whatever works for you for what is an odd
Speaker 1: superstition that you saw in the locker room or were
Speaker 1: you thought even for superstitions?
Speaker 3: That's a little weird, all right.
Speaker 4: Uh. London used to throw up before every game, mostly emotionally, no,
Speaker 4: just mostly mostly okay, used like you'll see London before
Speaker 4: a game his eyes read and throw like You'll be like,
Speaker 4: we already played for corn and football start yet, so.
Speaker 2: He'll rip up like that. Sometimes it's it's like different guys.
Speaker 2: Some guys like to get slapped.
Speaker 3: You were telling me that's crazy.
Speaker 4: To me, man, listen, I don't know if people remember
Speaker 4: what is his name was. They had that on TV
Speaker 4: where he had one trainer. No, it was the weight
Speaker 4: room coach, big detail of John Henderson. Okay, play for Jacksonville, yep.
Speaker 4: And he would get the weight scrint coach just to
Speaker 4: give him ten of the hardest slaps in the world.
Speaker 2: Like and this is a scrint coach. You know, the
Speaker 2: scrint coach work at the when he ain't in the gym.
Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, like, I've seen
Speaker 4: some crazy crazy now me. I would also like I
Speaker 4: would lay my outfit on the floor. I stole that
Speaker 4: from the I would lay my whole outfit jersey, pants, socks, him,
Speaker 4: clicks him, mowam, helmet, whatever, wristband.
Speaker 2: So I would make this.
Speaker 4: Floor mannequin, okay, cause you know you look good, feel good,
Speaker 4: play no doubt, it's all about it. So I would
Speaker 4: make this floor mannique, and I rearrange stuff until it
Speaker 4: gets right. I let it sit there, go shower, come back,
Speaker 4: throw it on like now.

Speaker 1: Yes, And as we were walking in here, one of
Speaker 1: the first things I heard you say was I'm making
Speaker 1: that turn ducking sure.
Speaker 2: Ducking duck. Yeah. That you gotta speak it right.
Speaker 4: And it is a chicken inside of a duck that's
Speaker 4: inside of a turkey, served with six legs, two of
Speaker 4: beach dressing in between each layer of meat. It's gluttony
Speaker 4: as its finest. Like it's down south.
Speaker 2: Where I'm from, Mississippi, Louis Auta, and that's where it's from. Yep.
Speaker 4: That means you made it in life when you say
Speaker 4: anybody like, hey, y'all frying a turkey today, Like nah,
Speaker 4: we already fried the turkey, weeding tra duck, and.
Speaker 2: Baller, like.
Speaker 4: There's a hole you hear from, like somebody holler from,
Speaker 4: like the names. It's reducing. It's different and it's harder
Speaker 4: to make than people think it is. But you know,
Speaker 4: if you get it, I already bought, already processed, it
Speaker 4: becomes easier to to cook. And most people haven't even
Speaker 4: heard of a traducing and unless John Madden put them
Speaker 4: on like.
Speaker 2: With the traduct and getting the leg like that.
Speaker 4: But it's great, man, it's It's one of those things
Speaker 4: where I love to cut in it to see the layers,
Speaker 4: and that's what you really want. So if you like
Speaker 4: like the stuff in between. Yeah, so it's like a
Speaker 4: meat big mac. Okay, you know how big mac is
Speaker 4: laid layered, the t reducing is layered. And if you
Speaker 4: can get that perfect cut where you get that turkey,
Speaker 4: chicken and duck magical.
Speaker 3: Now on the flip side, if you're not a good cook,
Speaker 3: can you screw it up?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: You can screw it up right, it doesn't do well
Speaker 2: and share it.
Speaker 4: Always bake it by itself because it's gonna.
Speaker 2: Have a distinct taste and a distinct smell to it.
Speaker 4: And most people don't cook it long enough, so all
Speaker 4: three meats don't get cooked all the way through.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can't beat fried. You can only bake it.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can only bake it. But when I say
Speaker 2: it's magical, it's matural.
Speaker 3: So I can tell just from hearing you speak your
Speaker 3: thanksgiving God, I am.
Speaker 2: I love it. It's family this family. That is fine
Speaker 2: is in Mississippi. That's what we do. We eat with
Speaker 2: family like this is what we do.
Speaker 4: So like, for instance, in my family, nobody has the
Speaker 4: whole burden of cooking thingsgiving dimmer. Right, everybody brings two
Speaker 4: three dishes. Actually, everybody brings almost a meat aside in
Speaker 4: a dessert.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So by time we at the Smooth House, we got
Speaker 4: like everything from prime real fried turkey, fried chicken, triduccin. Oh,
Speaker 4: you got roast peed, You got everything you can think
Speaker 4: of because everybody brings one of each.
Speaker 2: Okay, desserts. You know what I had? I just wanted
Speaker 2: dessert cook off in the building over here right now,
Speaker 2: did you?
Speaker 4: Yes? I did.
Speaker 2: I didn't know this.
Speaker 4: Well one, you know, we got Jack Selby when I edited,
Speaker 4: he swept out. He was a great baker. So he
Speaker 4: challenged me to get out of my lane because you
Speaker 4: know I can make sweet potato pie for Lissippi. Well
Speaker 4: how about you do a pumpkin pie. I never touched
Speaker 4: punkin in my wife.
Speaker 2: Even my oven got mad when I put pumpkin in it,
Speaker 2: Like what are you doing? Have you changed?
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, challenge put it in there. So he
Speaker 4: made a sweet potato pie. And I made a pumpkin pie,
Speaker 4: and I maybe now putting the one up here.
Speaker 2: Wait, you made a pumpkin pie.
Speaker 4: Yes, I did.
Speaker 3: Wait, whoa, I thought I heard that incorrectly. You hate pumpkin.
Speaker 2: I hate pumpkin. But he challenged me.
Speaker 4: He was like, oh okay, he was like, check this out.
Speaker 4: He had a double bake. Let me see you make
Speaker 4: something that you never made.
Speaker 2: So I made it. And guess what when he seen
Speaker 2: my pie, he was like, your pie ugly?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: So I didn't have the cutest spot. It was my
Speaker 4: first time making punkin pie. But boy, that ugly pie
Speaker 4: taste so good. So I triumphed and and I won
Speaker 4: uped him and I beat him like at his own game,
Speaker 4: at his own game. That just shows at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, either you can cook or you can't.
Speaker 2: I'm a cooker.
Speaker 4: And if you challenge me to do anything, baking anything,
Speaker 4: I will expose your weaknesses. And his weakness was he
Speaker 4: overdid it? Oh, overdid it? He had like he made
Speaker 4: a sweet potato pie.
Speaker 3: When I walked by him, I will say his head
Speaker 3: was down just a little bit.
Speaker 2: That's because mine was hell high. Like the one thing
Speaker 2: you had to realize what people is. Two people can't
Speaker 2: hold their head up unless they married. Now, and I
Speaker 2: see when I walk past him.
Speaker 4: Now, that's why I give him grief every time, because
Speaker 4: he he did see he had it. He wasn't the
Speaker 4: guys too, because anytime I used to always getting the
Speaker 4: cookout with the offensive lineman like Randy Thomas, Chris Samuels,
Speaker 4: I stayed in cookouts with you.
Speaker 2: Hey, at the end of the day, I enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I beat him, and now he wants to cook cake,
Speaker 2: so I beat him in that too.
Speaker 3: What is your favorite Thanksgiving side? If we were doing
Speaker 3: a draft right now, a draft before we go.
Speaker 2: To number one.
Speaker 4: It's all right, So everything besides meat is really considered
Speaker 4: a side, right, I agree?
Speaker 2: Dressing? Oh, I love not stuff.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, not stuff, dressing, corn bread dress. I
Speaker 4: make some of the best, right. And I don't like
Speaker 4: the cranberry sauce with cranberries in it like a jelly.
Speaker 3: On the same way, I don't want the actual berries.
Speaker 2: I don't want the no, no, give that to the pilgrims.
Speaker 4: I want JAILI I listen to me, dressing to me,
Speaker 4: especially when I make that ghiblick white gravy two to
Speaker 4: put on it.
Speaker 2: Dressing to me is a is a meal in itself.
Speaker 3: Like I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 2: I could just take dressing and nothing else.
Speaker 3: I crushed him dressing.
Speaker 2: I literally cook dressing like ten times a year. Anyway,
Speaker 2: do you really? I love it.
Speaker 3: I also say this, you can really screw up dressing.
Speaker 2: Yes, you you can by screwing up the corn bread.
Speaker 2: And most people do this.
Speaker 4: Most people make the corn bread, take it out, and
Speaker 4: then go right into making a dress. You gotta let
Speaker 4: the corn bread cool all the way down into it
Speaker 4: hard and they're like two there's like two three hours. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Like that's what people get them on. They take that
Speaker 4: hot corn bread, mess it up and try to make
Speaker 4: it not a corn bread, I mean, not a dressing flat.
Speaker 2: Ok, gotta let it dry out. It's similar to stuffing.
Speaker 4: Stuffing is just made from what crew toons and crackers
Speaker 4: and stuff all right where they dry, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2: So let your corn bread drive before you do your.
Speaker 3: Dress, before we pay the bills. You even though about
Speaker 3: doing a cooking show, Well, you know what, I'm serious.
Speaker 4: I do work their risk with a baby hand. I
Speaker 4: could be one of the best cuts anyway. You know,
Speaker 4: I could be the male polydne.
Speaker 1: Because you know what, it would be unexpected because you
Speaker 1: would be like, it's former NFL player is a great cook.
Speaker 2: But I know you love to cook. I need a
Speaker 2: passion for it. Some of these make that happen.
Speaker 4: No, you gotta realize. I used to cook for all
Speaker 4: my teammates on Thanksgiving. Oh really, you gotta realize you're
Speaker 4: gonna have a portion of the team that's married. Yep,
Speaker 4: they gonna do it with their family. Three fourths of
Speaker 4: the team ain't married with nowhere to go. So therefore,
Speaker 4: I used to have Thanksgiving party in my house where
Speaker 4: I cooked follow a single player. So every year, all
Speaker 4: the players spent their time on Thanksgiving in my house
Speaker 4: like this was every year. I even had Mary dude
Speaker 4: like now I'm coming, I'm coming through. So I was
Speaker 4: always that one that brought that team together like that.
Speaker 4: I always cooked for everybody, and they knew it. They
Speaker 4: expect it smoop your house. I'm like, yeah, man, I
Speaker 4: got you. So I would know how much I had
Speaker 4: to cook by how many teammates was coming over.

Speaker 2: He would have to be.
Speaker 1: You know what if you could talk about if you
Speaker 1: want to hang around someone's fun. If you consider around
Speaker 1: like Chappelle because he's a family guy. Think about it,
Speaker 1: he's country, he's in Ohio.
Speaker 3: Yes, thinking about how much fun.
Speaker 2: That would go, that would be. That would be a
Speaker 2: hell of Thanksgiving because he probably has friends. He brings it.
Speaker 2: Fellow commedian, Oh my god, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So imagine sitting there with Dave Chappelle and Kit kit Willis,
Speaker 4: Oh my, just just there like this how I look
Speaker 4: at Thanksgiving. And that's why I chose the biggest family
Speaker 4: in Hollywood. Yeah, because it's about family. So I would
Speaker 4: most definitely love to do mine with the wings hands down, you.
Speaker 3: Spend a lot of Thanksgivings in Dallas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate it.
Speaker 4: I know you did, except for those dinners. I've been
Speaker 4: sayingth going from to Primes house. It was really nothing
Speaker 4: and you gotta realize. And all these boys were young then, yeah, young.
Speaker 4: So when I see them now, I'm like im.
Speaker 2: When you I'm like, wait. Deon Sanders has a son.
Speaker 1: He plays quarterback. Yeah, like Tim Hardaway Junior is another guy.
Speaker 1: It's like a junior. You see it all the time.
Speaker 1: I love Robt Harrison is another.
Speaker 4: I love seeing the second general ration pick up where
Speaker 4: they where their father's left off. Because it's not easy
Speaker 4: to walk in them shoes, especially when them shoes big
Speaker 4: like that. Like some kids and men tanning them have
Speaker 4: to talk all the time. Some kids don't want that
Speaker 4: smoke yep, they want to go live.
Speaker 2: Their own life. Dad did that. I ain't doing it right.
Speaker 4: But some say I want the challenge and the ones
Speaker 4: I love to see the ones say I want the
Speaker 4: challeg because I want out doing.
Speaker 2: I want to one up my dad. I want to
Speaker 2: set something up for my generation. I like those kids.
Speaker 3: What makes this rivalry as special as it is?
Speaker 1: I know that seems like a very easy question to ask,
Speaker 1: but I want to hear your perspective because you've been
Speaker 1: such a part of it, the storied.
Speaker 4: Tradition, to Joe Gibbs of it, the Bill Parcels of it,
Speaker 4: to Jimmy Johnson's of the Michael Irvans, the Darrell Greens,
Speaker 4: the Marco, the Marco Coleman, the it's the players, the
Speaker 4: people to be Mitches of the world, the Santana Mouses.
Speaker 2: Uh, It's just it's so hate right there.
Speaker 3: It's like even Tanna, he's no to this day as
Speaker 3: the cowboy Killer.
Speaker 2: And that's how easy you cannot be identified with that.
Speaker 4: Uh. It's the elites of versus the elites. It's Steve
Speaker 4: South versus the North. It's the uh America's team versus
Speaker 4: the team that actually in the city, the capitol, Nations capital.
Speaker 2: Is uh, we better, we better.
Speaker 4: It's especially in the past, it was y'all get a ring,
Speaker 4: we get a ring, y'all get So it was just
Speaker 4: so much to it, and I think putting it on
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving just was the icing on the cake. And I
Speaker 4: thought that the narrative was always there, Uh, no matter
Speaker 4: the players that was playing in it.
Speaker 2: Come on.
Speaker 4: My first one was probably Jeff George at quarterback. Oh wow,
Speaker 4: against Quincy Carter, who I picked off, thinking Quincy uh
Speaker 4: at the end of the day. So it's these it's
Speaker 4: these things where it's it's legit and you don't even
Speaker 4: have to be in the rivalry but a year and
Speaker 4: you're like, I hate them, Like.
Speaker 2: It's true because when.
Speaker 4: They walk out there with them silver pants on and
Speaker 4: their style and they hear him. I used to just
Speaker 4: look at Miles Austin and they just just walk around
Speaker 4: with this, with this, with this swag. We the lakers
Speaker 4: of the of the NFL. Y'all should be happy. We
Speaker 4: here they have Arrogancy and I couldn't stand it. I
Speaker 4: could not because it's like that bully. They're not also
Speaker 4: a bully. He actually the prittiest dude in screw too.
Speaker 4: So I punched him in his perfect eye. That's what
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do, the one perfect, the one out of
Speaker 4: this perfect. I want it.
Speaker 2: So it's it's some electric about it. It's it's uh.
Speaker 4: And I think it has a lot to do with
Speaker 4: the history and the people. That's a part of the history.
Speaker 4: So I have to say it's not for the people. Now,
Speaker 4: I think you don't get it when you in the
Speaker 4: box of the midst of the storm. I think you
Speaker 4: get it when you outside of the game or you're
Speaker 4: like you know what, yeah that is. That is because
Speaker 4: you look at rivalries and football, especially in the NFL.
Speaker 4: You got the Pittsburg Ravens.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh, you know the Dallas and Washington is always up there.
Speaker 4: Uh you got the Eagles Dallas.
Speaker 2: So you know, so you know it's these games.
Speaker 4: But we got that game on that special day when
Speaker 4: the world is sitting at home, and that's how you
Speaker 4: become a household name. The world is sitting at home
Speaker 4: watching you. You two three plays away from people, never
Speaker 4: forgetting who you are. So I just think it's a
Speaker 4: special game on a special day while people spending time
Speaker 4: with their family. These memories are never forgotten. I talked
Speaker 4: to fans. They were like, yeah, we used to watch
Speaker 4: you every Thanksgiving, all right, So now I become part
Speaker 4: of your living room.
Speaker 3: The Thanksgiving experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I become part of your family, right because now
Speaker 2: as you.
Speaker 4: Get older, like they told me, man, when I was
Speaker 4: a teenager, I used to watch Thanksgiving with my ben.
Speaker 2: That's the time stamp in.
Speaker 4: They like, you become that time stamp, and I think
Speaker 4: that's what we forget in football, that even though we
Speaker 4: on that screen, we're steal a part of your living
Speaker 4: room organically.
Speaker 3: Last question, what do you want to see in this game?
Speaker 2: I want to see the.
Speaker 4: Cowboys get beat up. I want to see them get humiliated.
Speaker 4: I want to see them on national TV. I want
Speaker 4: to see they bubble get busted because I feel like
Speaker 4: they in that rim of when you think you're good,
Speaker 4: and you think you're better than you are, but you
Speaker 4: failed out the tests that really matter.
Speaker 2: For the nine Ers, black Eye.
Speaker 3: The the Eagles, Black Eye, Cardinals beat them.
Speaker 4: Blackyye, but then you go out and run the score
Speaker 4: up on the Giants and he who remains. I just think,
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, this is a game
Speaker 4: we asked win. We always play up.
Speaker 2: That's what we do. That's true. We're known to hate.
Speaker 4: See when you get into this time of year and
Speaker 4: some guys high riding front ride and then you right there,
Speaker 4: all you got on your mind is hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about Silkie Johnston. I'm talking about hate at
Speaker 4: its highest level. The only way I can really hate
Speaker 4: on you is to knock you off your high House. Well,
Speaker 4: what better day to do it then Thanksgiving, because then
Speaker 4: it scars them Dallas fans even more because they do
Speaker 4: this every year where the beginning of the year they
Speaker 4: going to the Super Bowl, but as the year goes
Speaker 4: to the end of.
Speaker 2: It, they just fall a party crack I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: They just shatter, right.
Speaker 4: But it always starts with one game, and it's usually
Speaker 4: us on Thanksgiving. So if we can do this and
Speaker 4: give the DMV and all of the Washington fans around
Speaker 4: the world, it's one present, this one present. Just beat Dallas,
Speaker 4: all right, give them that. Let them hold their head
Speaker 4: up high. Let them go out for the Turkey Bowl.
Speaker 2: Did you play any Turkeys? I did not. You look
Speaker 2: like you didn't. I did.
Speaker 4: Every year Thanksgiving. That's what we do in the hood.
Speaker 4: We play in the Turkey Bowl. One Thanksgiving, my father
Speaker 4: said he was gonna.
Speaker 2: Play to preach a man.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought you meant in a real like college football.
