[Applause]. I just got out of the iceborn so hold on. I go for 10 minutes. 10 minutes how cold. um now that's kind of the negotiable. part I think I agree with you I go for. right now I'm at 50. oh yeah dude for. sure I think if you're if you're under. like 50 degrees to like 40 I think. you're doing a really good job Yeah Yeah. well yeah because some guys it's like.

they want to get as cold as they can. they like want to like they just want to. be so cold and they want to just like be. like I'm the coldest guy you know. congratulations yeah. yeah sure. yeah congratulations right like you're. not yeah if you want to be that cold. then move to like the North Pole or. something but don't just pretend you're. like the you're [ __ ] Santa you know. just because you're in your garage do we. have at uh San Francisco we have two ice. subs and one's at 39 degrees the other.

one's at like 45. yeah I'm in the four. like the 39 degree that's like what are. we doing that's what Bosa does all the. time yeah he likes that one he loves. being cold but like my pool in. California it's it's not heated and so. by mid-october it's like it's like 52. and then by the time you get to halfway. through November it's like 46 and I just. jump in every morning at 6 30 a.m oh wow. it's awesome great way to start your day. yeah yeah it definitely changes my whole. perception it kind of takes me out of my.

brain I notice and puts me into my body. for sure dude I love it I just jump. right in you're in it for I mean I. usually do like three three to five. minutes I'm ready to roll for the whole. day oh really yeah that's about all I. need yeah I do like there's days like if. I ever recovery day because like most. time like I have to leave my house by 7. A.M else I don't make the meetings and. stuff like that so and I don't really. want to wake up at I mean six I like. don't like to wake up before six because. as soon as you see like a five on your. alarm clock it sucks yeah there is. something about that I think that makes.

you be like oh what's going on here like. I'm a senior citizen or something. like they like that five you know oh. dude it's Sarah I was talking to Taylor. one today he was like yeah my workout. started at 5am I was like why. that's great yeah why especially if. you're just gonna get hurt every year. and not even play. oh well maybe. maybe this is his change maybe he's. doing something different yeah you know. Hey Taylor he'll be healthy man he'll be. fine he's got a couple tough breaks it's. a it is what it is yeah it is some of it. I think is his attitude gets stuck in.

his knees to him [ __ ] ruins him there. is something about when you get hurt you. definitely overthink about it both from. your recovery standpoint and then once. you get back onto the football field. like that's all you can think about like. just don't do it again just don't do it. again and the second you start thing. like that that's when it happens again. have you noticed that because you had a. what you had a break right I broke my. foot in 2020 yeah cuboid it's like up. here yeah then I so I was I came back in. five weeks and then the next like five. practices all that's all you can think. about and it sucks and then you go. through a whole offseason then you kind.

of forget about it but still you get. back into football it's still what. you're thinking about like just don't. break it again and then like after a. while you just get comfortable and you. just forget about it were there routes. and stuff that you would adjust and not. do because you just to take the pressure. off just like planting really hard on it. it kind of just freaks me out a little. bit because the way I broke it too. didn't really make any sense I just kind. of got hit when my foot was in the. ground and it just kind of gave out so I. was just kind of more cautious more. careful like picking up my feet when I. was getting hit and stuff like that but. then like it's a bone it heals take a. lot of collagen drink a lot of milk it.

is what it is yeah. um today by the way thanks man I feel. pretty good I think getting in that ice. plunge it does it Alters my perception. it Alters my perspective you know it's. like we're talking about that that's. what I'll it's like I notice if I'm in. like kind of a rough mood or I'm kind of. like. I want to feel a little bit more. kind of in my body if I'm just too much. in my head I'm like I want to get in my. body and I want to and I don't want to. do it so it's like let me do something I. don't want to do yeah that's that's how.

I see it my thing is I so I like to do. it the first I literally I wake up go. downstairs and I just jump in my pool. and it's just like the first thing I do. is to start my day is something that's. not really fun yeah but like now I I. enjoy doing it because I feel great when. you get done with it but like you just. you accomplish something that really. sucks yeah and then the rest of your day. like yeah you can be dealing with other. stuff other issues but like you're doing. one thing that's difficult to do that. not a lot of people like to do and she's. like all right I'm gonna start my day. off by accomplishing something look. that's gangster yeah yeah I think that's. it man I think it's like yeah how can I. do something today that I don't want to.

do it does make everything else a little. bit easier then. um it's even like going like going with. with going and working out like actually. I get a little bit excited because like. um I work out down there with Jeremy. holding those guys you know j-hole's at. my house today oh was he really yeah oh. dang that's my favorite oh he's. unbelievable but he's also like. he like dresses like he's trying to get. molested I feel like is that a crazy. thing he is a handsome dude 24 7 man he. smells like a barber shop too every time. but I think that I think is in the urban.

community there's a lot better they they. tend to be a lot more fragrant yeah. you're not wrong Jeremy smells good all. the time I do I always try to we got. under her skin sometimes we always tell. him that he needs to brush his teeth. once in a while which he does but it's. just it's a fun way to talk [ __ ] to. somebody because not really much you can. do if your breath smells like [ __ ] oh. does his breath smell bad no it's just a. fun joke that we play on him because. there's not really much of a comeback to. that oh yeah that's true huh you had to. go brush your teeth yeah you're like. [ __ ] you and you're like hey do I really. need my breath really bad that's what. people always do that's literally what.

it is bro that is the best dude the the. worst thing is is when somebody does. have horrible breath and especially like. if they're at like a nightclub or. something and somebody's breath is bad. brutal oh and oh you know what a lot a. lot of times bro won't tell him dude. depends on if I like him or not I feel. you you got to be honest with like if. it's a buddy I'll definitely tell them. but if it's somebody so if you've got a. friend who has something in their teeth. you tell them. not if it's a girl so okay get this I. was at the Pro Bowl two years ago and. one of the reporters there I'd like I.

was kind of going down the line you have. to talk to a certain amount of people. and uh I she probably interviewed like. six people before she got to me and she. just had a huge like piece of spinach in. her front two teeth and I was like you. were just on air with six people and no. one told you you have a camera guy with. four feet from your face I told her when. I started the interview I was like you. have some of your teeth I was like I. don't I would be so embarrassed if I. just said something my teeth the entire. time and no one told me like come on I. thought we were friends and women that. shakes them to the core oh it's almost. like telling them they don't even exist.

I know that sounds crazy but you tell a. woman because it's like for some reason. it seems to be the only thing they care. about oh dude man they're always like. yeah. um speaking of women man your sister. taught me yoga yeah I know that's what. she was like yeah I'm teaching Theo Von. yoga and I was like really that's. awesome so cool man was that here yeah. yeah right here she taught me yoga. because I think you guys didn't live. very far away we literally have a block. away yeah I sold that we live out uh.

like west of Nashville now but yeah we. lived there for two years yeah so it's a. pretty easy uh uh commute she's the best. man she was like very. she's like very like Mo like kind of. like ladylike and motherly but like very. like scent like a Sensei kind of she's. she she Vibes dude yes she's got a great. vibe to her yes like a Vibe Surfer or. something like you know she's like the. female layered Hamilton of Vibes I feel. like that's a Savage compliment man yeah.

and she um dude she had me do this thing. one time it was like wearing these. things but between my toes right yeah. and it's like you Yoga Toes or I mean. it's just like this thing you wear at. night it's almost like a spacers yes or. what color were they blue or what uh. well I tried the freaking blue ones dude. the blue ones dude I'm obsessed with. those the blues I see you could probably. do but can you pull up those toe spacers. oh yeah dude I uh I got into those she. got me into those right so they're.

awesome whenever I take my Netflix pet. the this Netflix special that I did. um she had been teaching right so if you. see me walk I'm walking out like this. because she taught me how to walk like a. Paleolithic yeah no I know exactly what. you're talking about dude we talking. about that stuff all the time right here. this kind of stuff oh yeah dude yeah the. those are the small ones they they have. a way bigger one uh they're massive and. blue oh the big one I felt like a [ __ ]. with the bigger ones in they space you. out oh big gaps it was like God well now.

is this a foot only fans account. is that where we're looking is this a. yeah I don't know. a lot of people make money off that man. that foot fetish will foot fetish was. the thing I think I'll help you. understand this because I don't. understand it I would guess if you are. I don't think it's a lot of American. money I think it's like a lot of Yen. that people spend on it those guys like. it because I think they're Japanese feet. are very little. dude you could eat probably a dozen of. them.

and I you know what for context that. makes sense to me sure yeah. he's like going to Wingstop and getting. the 10 piece bone in or bone out man oh. I think if you're going Japanese feet. dude I'm keeping the bone in I want all. of it. I think I want the mayor I want all the. freaking you know the the gifts of the. Orient I feel like but I do think that. that is what it is they don't have very. long it's not like a precious like uh. thing over there it's almost like. you know it's so they don't get to see.

it so I think for them seeing like a. long foot it's different with toenail. polish and stuff it's very Fantastical. to them my uh. Emma's uh fiance Cody he's a pitcher in. Japan and so he's like six five and he. says that the next closest person hardly. goes to his chest and so he just stands. out like a sore thumb and I was like. that's actually crazy so then you think. about feet like he's a size 14 to 15. that's that's a lot for that's a lot out. there yeah he should we'll get the picks.

up there for him and I think this yeah I. don't know if there's a market for it. for men. yeah what is going on with that foot why. do people have foot fetish can you look. it up please I'm gonna call into your. show and ask you that question. but you came here and asked it I know. but I'll just call in next time hey man. this is George I was there a couple. weeks ago you've solved this mystery yet. uh one researcher proposes that the. fetish is due to sensory input in the. brain the neuroscientist.

villianur ramar chandran yeah suggests. that the part of the brain that. processes the sensation people get from. feet is next to the area that perceives. genital stimulation ah oh interesting. right arm so people want to see that. foot they want to see it gets them going. gets the blood going yeah I think you. know I have this exact same thing you do. yeah it's a nice one the Legacy flag guy. made it for you I think so yeah he hit. me up like four years ago and he made it. for me and I was like dude thanks yeah. it's hanging in my house it's in my barn. oh that's awesome I love it yeah we uh.

he sent us this one and another one. we'll have to um we'll put his info up. actually right now he's done so much he. he's he does beautiful Flags so I'm. gonna make sure that we put it on the. screen there's nothing I could cool a. wooden American flag it's awesome like. Nick Bosa has I'm pretty sure that exact. same one in the back of his locker oh. wow it's awesome oh really in his locker. yeah just in the back of his locker I. think it got shipped there and he was. like this is cool and just set it back. oh that's crazy. um but yeah I guess that makes sense. about a foot because I think also if you. think back into Maybe.

I wonder if like in old times you could. but if people were like cave people then. you saw the foot all the time you know. very true I'm just trying to think. they're really pretty back then though. were they no I'm sure kind of like. hobbit feet oh yeah I'm sure they were. very uh thick muscular I bet you they. were spread out though yeah very flat. huh flat wide toes I mean like because. you see the photos like indigenous. people and their feet they're literally. like they look like hands yeah oh my. gosh it's crazy and then I'm like.

everyone's like that's the healthy way. that's what your feet want to look like. your shoes make your you know they close. your toe box in all that stuff well it's. kind of hard for me because my. profession I have to wear cleats that. are small and oh yeah you got to keep. them tight huh well to an extent like I. tried like I wear the toe space I try to. spread them out keep my feet as healthy. as I can but like once you get to. training camp in your I mean you're. taking like a couple hundred reps a day. it doesn't really help too much like. your feet Just Gotta Get You Gotta build. a callus to it basically is what you do. but then now I'm out at cleats right now. for a couple weeks it's like your feet. just lose that callus not to get back in.

into it every single year it's wild your. feet kind of relax almost you can you. almost notice it and feel it oh yeah. like my feet feel significantly better a. month after the season than they do the. entire duration yeah it's wild yeah like. I don't this is a I've learned this. because I like pedicures it feels. fantastic I like getting my feet. massaged it's really nice getting them. cleaned up. um but like in the season I don't get a. pedicure for the entire season because I. don't want to lose any of the callus. like on the bottom of my feet I don't. want any of it scraped off because your. feet basically become these thick blocks. and you just gotta especially like where.

I am I'm in the interior office I'm in. the office of line basically all the. time and so I get stepped on 24 7. so. like I like having tough feet but then. as soon as the season's over I'm back. getting pedicures and stuff it's. fantastic so you want to keep whatever. you can whatever a little extra you can. get yeah it's like I I hopefully my skin. is thicker about halfway through the. season dang it's wild do you all take. stuff that can make your skin thicker. I don't know like I mean like we have a. lot of supplements uh um our like our. team provides us and I'm just big I do a. ton I like collagen like that's my big.

thing collagen and orange juice and then. any type of calcium I can get like those. are my two big things but that's a good. thing to look into why not I mean like. you see like my shins right here that's. just all cleats oh dang yeah like my. shins are just permanently cut up for. like my the rest of my life damn cleats. aren't really fun to get kicked by yeah. and do you get to wear shin pads or not. so the only guy that ever did that I'm. pretty sure is like Cam Newton did that. for a little bit I I contemplated doing. that but I like football is a really. weird sport where you just kind of get. lucky like I could be blocking somebody.

and then the running back could miss me. by like an inch or he might kick me in. the calf when he's going past me and. she's like you just gotta get lucky. sometimes and right I got really lucky. this year where like yeah my shins were. getting beat up but like nothing else. and so I don't know if I want to be that. guy that's out there with the double. elbow pads double knee like you just. don't want to look like that and I just. I can't bring myself to wearing shin. pads yet yeah there's maybe an aesthetic. thing about it does it um are there but. their Cam Newton was the guy that did it. I think so I think that's what because I. brought it up and like one of my equip.

managers told me that and I was like if. the only other person where shin guards. was a quarterback I just don't know if I. can do that to myself because oh yeah. because he kind of puts you on a. different level yeah I know I think I. just got to tough it out you know it's. it's for the the it's just for the sport. man it's Gotta tough it out yeah I could. respect that man I think sometimes yeah. you want to wear like I don't wear like. a turtleneck. you know I'm not a big turtle I don't. know if I've ever worn a turtleneck I. think there are guys that pulled off. really well that's just not my thing. you know who wears one Mike Ditka wears. a turtleneck a lot I see a large and I.

think a lot of people that sell jewelry. wear it oh like a little fancy you might. see one like on a cool night in Miami a. lot of turtlenecks down there yeah maybe. I could see that kind of the Suave yeah. I think it's kind of like also like. Europeans or middle easterners wear it. now there's cam now that definitely. looks like diapers on the front of his. [ __ ] yes those are those that's. basically what like basketball players. wear that's the type of shin guards so. like those aren't bad like I was. picturing wearing like the actual soccer. shin guards that are like the hard ones. I know who knows I might give it a shot. this year who knows if it doesn't affect.

how I run which hopefully it doesn't but. you want to be as light as you can. because I mean the name of the game in. the NFL these days is speed yeah so. whoever's fastest is you know who makes. the most plays and who gets paid and. it's also I think. um it could be become a mental thing. like sometimes you feel like if you have. something on your body then it's way or. it's like 100 if it starts to become a. little bit of a hinge and it's not even. worth it I bet no that's 100 true. because like I had to get used I play. with the shoulders going on because was. it my second year I dislocated my.

shoulder and so like to come back and. play and not miss any time I had like I. wore the shoulder sling and now I'm just. like uh superstitious about it and like. I saw like my shoulders are a little. messed up but like I don't need to wear. it but I literally just do it because. it's it helps me like just not totally. get out of the socket sometimes and but. for that that that took a lot of getting. used to just wearing something else in. my body because at first I was like oh I. can't lift my hand above my head and. then after all you just get used to it. and that's it that's the whole process. of it just getting used to it because. you know like uh the football like the.

girdles that come with like the built-in. pads and like your thighs and your hips. and stuff like that it's like spandex. you'd wear yeah I've seen them yeah like. big panties yeah basically like they. have these thick pads in them and I wore. them in high school and then I didn't. wear them again until I tried them on. the NFL and it felt like I was wearing. like baggy pants and I hated it it was. just way too much going on and so I just. do like the little like those High. School white little pads you put into. your football pants because like it is. you just you don't want to wear a lot. because you're just trying to be as fast. as possible. you know one thing that was interesting. even when you're when your sister was. helping me do yoga and I just bring that.

back because we would talk about you. sometimes and. um and she was always really interested. in like the next like staying on the. pulse of like. that is pretty cool huh that's awesome I. know dude it's always weird you think. like would you ever have like one of. those of yourself and then like somehow. you end up with one oh dude yeah I did a. bobble head thing like in 2018 or 2019. and I still have like 30 of them in a. box just in my in my barn just in. storage and then I got a Nickelodeon one. this year that's hilarious head is so.

big let's bring it up I don't know if. you can find it but yeah it's hilarious. I gotta start get you know what I should. start doing for guests that we have on I. should start getting some bobbleheads. that's awesome have you seen uh you you. like the preds right hockey team um yeah. I like the prez they're not they don't. like themselves I don't think they're. not that good you know well so Phil. forsberg is like one of my best friends. I love that dude and uh I love going oh. yeah there it is look at that big head. oh my God that's you dude what were you. going through dude when I first opened. it I was like that boy's faded Theo that.

Between Two Ferns with Zach dude that'd. be awesome that's really what I thought. it was going on here. this looks like you I feel like in like.

15 years. that's a faded old George right there. yeah huh that looks like George. um like if you were in uh like Pink. Floyd or like like if you were. definitely like riding in a small van. white van how many windows I mean some. of the windows had uh curtains because. you were also living in it I think I. think it has that kind of like we're oh. we're we're following the Grateful Dead. or we're following uh Widespread Panic.

what I've realized now is that when you. have long hair you need to go to a salon. and like work with someone who knows how. to cut long hair yeah I just went to a. barber and I swear to God he gave me a. bowl cut without putting a bowl on my. head he'd let my hair down and he just. cut a circle around my head and I looked. at and I was like. it's tough for me it's really tough and. I had to go to a salon literally like an. hour later and they had to like fix it. for him but it was still brutal he just. went scissors in a circle it hurts huh. ah it really it was a struggle for me my.

wife looked at me she was like what is. wrong with you I was like a lot of. things at this moment actually I gotta. leave yeah I've been neutered that's. what it feels like oh dude people don't. know once you've grown like like there's. something about like why I could see why. Native Americans would go and take the. scalp of a man because it was like the. most powerful [ __ ] thing you could do. it's very disrespectful did you ever get. a haircut like uh during coven like did. anyone like I had a guy I had a. traveling Barber who I met through a. person through a personally like in. Nashville that's a homeless guy dude he.

showed up and I asked him if her fade. and he cut it and then he was on the. back of my neck and he was talking to me. and he was a football fan so he's. talking and you know like when you know. somebody messes something up and they. try to hide it and like it was like this. and I was like he stopped for like two. seconds I was like you good he's like. yeah no nothing's wrong I go in and I. show my wife and he basically put a. lightning bolt as my neckline it was. absolutely brutal why did he do it he.

was just not paying attention oh yeah he. was asking a football question and he. just got excited it was hilarious I. looked I was like you know what man just. thank you for the time yeah and I'm. gonna call it a day oh my goodness. there's nothing worse than getting a bad. haircut man it's brutal it just ruins. your whole day it may be a week oh yeah. it can ruin even more at least you're. married Bro dude think yes it helps a. lot God you have yeah you know a lady. still likes you when you [ __ ] get. home yes imagine you get a shitty.

[Music]. um but no one thing that I was. interested that was interesting about. and I keep going back to your sister but. I keep distracting you sir it's okay one. thing that was interesting was she's.

like she helps train you guys do yoga. and stuff she's always like but she's. like yeah we stay on the try just try to. stay on The Cutting Edge she's just gone. to a conference I think about. I think it was some type of new yoga or. something I can't remember what it's. called but yeah but it was just. interesting she's like yeah our family's. big into this has your family always. been like because I got to meet your. father yeah and your mother at the gulf. uh at the Mother-in-law oh that's. mother-in-law yeah that's my mom's way. yeah is your mother still alive yes she. is she is she didn't go uh my dad yeah.

Fame health and so like she works with. like former NFL players who are retired. who need help with medical stuff which. is it's really cool stuff but uh yeah I. brought my my sister my dad and my. mother-in-law cause my my sister my dad. they have the podcast now and so yeah. what's it called Us hidden pearls right. in Pearl's Pockets but they were there. in um Scottsdale for uh an event up.

there and I just I happen to have a. couple extra tickets so they got to go. with me yeah it was cool man because. yeah I'd always heard about y'all's dad. and then. um and then it gets to see her sister. again was great but uh yeah has y'all's. family always been like. like super health conscious or like I. like my mom's been a vegetarian most of. my life oh wow and you grew up in the. midwest dude grew up in the midwest so. yeah god dude were people just throwing. like like Molotov cocktails no she was.

fine she would like she eats fish once. in a while so like not true vegetarian. but like now I would say. uh I'd say like the last 10 years my. family's become like super health. conscious we're like my dad's 60 my. parents are both my dad's 64 my mom's. 63. wow he looks great he does look. great but uh my dad like his side of the. family has like health issues and so. he's like I'm not gonna let that happen. to me and so I'm gonna be as healthy as. I possibly can so my dad's basically. vegan now for like the last five years. I'm gonna fight it bring him up with his.

name is um Bruce Bruce Bruce Kittle. let's bring him up in here I want to get. a JPEG at his fella right here. because yeah he'd look at him there he. is oh yeah look at that guy and this. happened he's a little zinned out in. this picture but he's definitely a tough. man yeah he is. um. oh that's you and him that's me and him. is that right down the street no yeah. that was there oh that's crazy. um. so yeah so was he oh look at that hair. photo of him in college. where is it let me see oh wow I know.

right so he took he went to the worst. Barber oh dude he tried to keep us there. for right he's been he's been bald since. probably like 40 45. he just shaves it. off so were you worried about that oh I. know that when I cut the hair I don't. know if it's going to come back very. well oh it is what it is so I'm just my. wife likes it so I'm gonna keep it as. long as she likes it and then I'll cut. it off when I cut it off and it is what. it is save it probably. we thought about cutting off some like. whenever I get my haircut saving it and. selling little 20 sacks of it at the uh. you could probably just walk down.

Broadway people would buy it well we. want to sell it after comedy shows we. want to have a special thing where. there's like a limited edition 40 of. them and they're just little 20 bags and. like little drug baggies but not that I. know that's right that's like the dude. selling the sand from where Tom Brady. did his retirement speech from someone. sold it for 400 I was like are you like. who's gonna buy that why would you do. that so [ __ ] sand monkey out there. um were you guys really tough because. you uh your your whole family's very fit. yes was that a big thing growing up was.

there like like you get to like do chin. UPS to get seconds and stuff no not at. all no my uh my mom's a two sport Hall. of Fame athlete in Iowa high school oh. wow and softball and basketball uh my. dad was a football player and a wrestler. and so we just kind of been athletes. Emma was a great athlete she was like I. don't know like she's volleyball right. uh she played volleyball in college she. did basketball and volleyball in high. school I think she was like first two. him all state and all her stuff so she's. a freak athlete too so we've always just. been athletic but no like it wasn't uh. my dad was always big on like their dads.

out there who are like very strict on. their kids about stuff my dad just gave. me like a template like hey these are. things that are going to lead to your. success you can choose to do them or not. I'm gonna help you like make the right. decision like I'm not gonna Force you do. it it's on you but like what are your. dreams I want to play in the NFL this is. going to help you get to there like just. doing these things a little bit better. but his biggest thing was like Hey work. hard try to get better and have fun. because if you have fun it's a lot. easier exactly my mindset interesting. yeah I just kind of Wonder yeah oh I. just wondered like yeah was it like real.

Intense or was it not really it was you. guys having a good time yeah it was a. great time I mean yeah I mean there. wasn't too much strictness with it like. my parents are just they're always as I. mean I was a pretty good kid I didn't. really do a lot like I was very nice I. played football basketball and then I. came home and I played Halo 3. that's. about all I did oh dang it's pretty easy. I was low-key where are you yes very my. sister wasn't but you know you can have. her on the podcast discuss that yeah. maybe sometime that'd be interesting. um. so what else oh I was thinking about.

this dude. um oh no there was one more question no. one had asked oh but y'all's family. seems really close very yeah we just. always have been it's just uh it's yeah. Mom Dad me and my sister so it's like we. moved around a bunch. um I went to like. I went to like 15 different schools. school districts basically growing up I. started in Wisconsin that's where I was. born moved back to Iowa because both my. parents their families are from there I. know my my mom is nine sisters so she's. one of ten girls wow and so oh I would.

have loved to live next door dude. that's funny wow yes they lived in like. Small Town Iowa uh what town was it. Mount Union Iowa is what it's like Mount. Pleasant it's an hour south Iowa city. where the University of Iowa is okay so. it's just down Southeast Iowa so like we. moved back to Iowa then we just kind of. moved around a lot with my dad he just. want to be close to his job we had land. didn't like the house we lived in just. moved around a bunch interesting yeah my. mom went to college now I think at like. Colin colleges. yeah I've had friends that go to coat.

College yeah that's cigarette was an. interesting Town yeah it's interesting. oh I like Dubuque maybe a little bit. more that's where my wife's from really. yeah yeah on the border I like dubuqueas. they got some really neat hotels and. stuff right there along the river oh. yeah what is that called did you stay in. the room where. Al Capone's in it right yeah that's. right I was in that room too were you. the Juliet or something like that yeah. Julian Hotel it's Dubuque Dubuque Iowa. like to Julius or Juliet something like. that yeah that's a it's a cool hotel and. one of my buddies got married there oh.

wow yeah it's beautiful yeah Mark Twain. I think would write a lot about that. area and stuff it was really well it's. right on the dubuque's around the corner. so like you cross a bridge into Illinois. or Wisconsin and so it's kind of a cool. area I didn't know that yeah there's. just big bridges that go across go tell. Julian maybe Julian yeah that's it. that's it I was close I got the jewel. right and it's haunted it says read it. read it about Al Capone he's booking us. a damn room dude come on man we're just. friends yeah no like it there was a room. that he stayed in that he put like. um I don't know if it was a safe or like. a closet it was a hidden door that you.

would hide in if like cops ever came to. the hotel. and so they just leave it permanently. open now. yeah I was right there we go there you. go Hotel Julian Dubuque became known as. one of the finest hotels in the Midwest. and hosted many Grand Banquets and. famous guests but all the personages. said to have stayed at the hotel local. lore alleges that when things got hot in. Chicago Capone would travel with his. Entourage to Dubuque and hide out at. hotel Julian yeah there's like a hidden. room and there's a hidden room in that.

hotel room and they leave it open like I. said out but it used to like blend in oh. wow it was really cool stuff that's cool. yeah yeah I really like Dubuque though I. just even just walking around the little. the the downtown I really enjoyed it. um. dude you have like this do you start to. feel like um. you have like this almost like like. wrestling type of vibe about you right. and people have said that you're a. wrestling fan do you start to do you. like. do you feel like more of a character.

when you're playing football sometimes. these days. um maybe I think football is a place for. like I authentically get a I mean I. think I'm authentically myself all the. time but the great thing about football. is it's one of the only professions. where you get to beat the [ __ ] out of. someone not get arrested for it yeah. there's not very many of those sports. right yeah and so that's really fun for. me and like except Memphis maybe I think. he can do it these days but yeah I don't. think it's like as sanctioned yeah. probably not you know it's frowned upon. yeah yeah frown upon but like in the NFL.

so like I just get to go out there and I. get to hit people I gotta have fun I. mean I'm playing a kids game dude and. getting paid a lot of money to do it so. like I'm gonna work my tail off but I'm. gonna enjoy it every second that I'm out. there because you only get so many reps. there's only so much tread on the tire. and you got Tom Brady who can play for. 20 years maybe 21 and then like you know. but the average you know lifespan is. like three years so I'm going to near. seven I'm doing pretty well for myself. so it's like hey I'm gonna play as long. as I can I'm gonna play at a high level. as long as I can but I'm gonna have a. great time every time I'm out there and. do you feel like it's a uh it's easier.

for guys now is there more of a like the. aspect of it now where. let me think of exactly what I'm trying. to say so. it seems like you want to stay in it. longer now right everybody's always. wanted to stay in it longer but now it's. obviously a it's a it's a bigger. business now than it was 20 years ago oh. yeah I mean there's significantly more. money in it I mean you just saw like two. quarterbacks just got paid over 100. million dollars with like 70 million. dollars one guy got guaranteed like 83. million dollars that's more than my.

entire contract wow that's wild that's. why it was Daniel Jones right yeah good. for him happy for him I love it when. guys the NFL get paid because it's. really hard to get paid wow and so once. like I love everybody getting paid I do. not care who they is if I think they're. a good player if I think they're a bad. player awesome you got paid good you're. set for life like just don't squander it. please what do you mean when you say. it's hard for guys to get paid well like. you have to the NFL is full of like. every NFL player College you have high. school which is like you have hundreds. of thousands of kids playing High School. right and you just think about like the. number you have millions of kids playing.

High School you have hundreds of. thousands of people playing uh college. football there's 1500 NFL players like. just like the percentages is so small. then when you get there like every team. has all Americans in college Heisman. Trophy winners and just like you have to. figure out what you do better than. everybody else and how to do like how to. do that for as long as you can and. that's kind of what the NFL is like. surviving NFL is really hard like. there's fantastic players and athletes. out there that should be NFL and aren't. right like that happens all the time. it's like a lot of guys don't take. advantage of that opportunity so it's.

hard to get paid you have to have the. right you have to take advantage of that. opportunity what's in front of you are. there any players that come to mind when. you're like man that player it just it. didn't pay it out or they got air there. was a injury that happened or I mean. like uh one of my let's see one of my. favorite football players of all time. was Bob Sanders he's a safety for the. Indianapolis Colts he played for Iowa uh. he won defensive MVP one year but like. he just had an assortment of injuries. and he would have been in my he was the. first ballot Hall of Famer and then he. just had all these injuries that he. couldn't stay healthy and then he played. in the pros oh yeah here's what the NFL.

MVP for defense like amazing football. players a safety which is really hard to. do these days and he was incredible and. uh yeah he had like a back injury had. leg injury shoulder injuries because he. hit people so hard and maybe he'd be. hurt and it's just like instead of being. a first Hall of Famer like he'll always. be remembered as a really good football. player but like injury kind of took that. away from him and so he could have. gotten paid a lot more money too. probably uh that's what's hard it's like. you have to stay healthy you have to be. in the right situation you have to make. a lot of plays and you have to get into. those like what are the years you kind. of get paid on what are some of those. levels it's like uh after the most of.

the time is like I got paid after year. three okay for your rookie deal most of. the extensions happen after three years. or you can after your four-year free. agent is what you're seeing now like. that's where the real money is because. like everyone's bidding on you and. that's where the good stuff is. um but yeah most guys get paid after. three if you're a first-run draft pick. like teams have a fifth year right to. you and so those first round draft pick. Matt and I get paid till after year four. um but they already got a you know first. John signing bonus so like they're doing. well for themselves I see do you think.

it like as a player gets into that year. where it's like okay the next year. they're gonna get paid is it common. where guys will kind of and maybe this. is an overall question I was trying to. ask earlier where. you'll do you feel like oh as overall as. the league that the players everybody's. almost like all right let's don't go too. crazy here today so that we can all play. again next year there is a I would say a. majority of the NFL like a high majority. NFL is not trying to hurt other players.

I give a couple crazy guys that don't. care if they do like I don't think their. intention is I'm trying to blow your. knee out I don't think that's a thing. really anymore but I definitely like. there are there are some guys who are. more conscious about it than other guys. and like there's hits that you can't. avoid and it is what it is but um yeah I. think I was like I've had a time this is. my third year it was like week 15 and. I've been healthy the entire year and. I'm Larry um there's a pile right behind. me and a guy and like my legs are pinned. and if a guy wanted to he could like. literally just throw me backwards it's.

gonna be a really awkward fall for me. instead of like he grabbed me and pulled. me out of the way and he's like dog. you're worth too much to do that I was. like I really appreciate you thank you. so much it's very nice of you you're. amazing and so like I happened to me and. I was like you know like that's kind of. high into like I never want to hurt. anybody like I cut block you know I have. to like how do you expect yeah I'll do. it at the [ __ ] mall. dude's ankles put your head through his. kneecap you do it like and there's like. there that's football right like and. people want to Outlaw certain things. like I like the try not to hit him in.

the head like I appreciate that like I. don't want to get in the head a lot it. sucks. um concussions aren't fun but um yeah. just getting ahead and hitting the head. but in general like just kind of sucks. so like guys are conscious about that I. like the protection NFLs but like. there's certain jobs like there's. certain jobs like hey I'm gonna cut. block you and I'm Gonna Hate in the. knees and you know I I don't like try to. hurt anybody through it but like just. it's a part of the game yeah so it's. kind of weird but like I said it's. violence that's. um appreciated by everybody yeah I think. that's true so you have to does it. almost start to feel like wrestling then.

at some point late in the league like or. like to an extent like there's there's a. lot like there's yeah I would say to an. extent like I would say there's a. handful of us out there who are treating. like wrestling too and like you know. having fun out there like that but uh. yeah I mean everyone's just everyone's. out there everyone wants like everyone's. goal is to win a Super I mean I hope. everyone's goals to win a Super Bowl. like that's what my goal is and then. whatever comes with that but like I'm. not gonna go out of my head like you. know because it's like too much pain on. somebody but enough right. right yeah because I think yeah I wonder. if it used to be different you know I.

think back in the day they cared less. about each other. but there's a lot more going on back. then like a lot of dude did you ever see. the clip of it was on Instagram but it. was like the 1980 maybe like 1990. highlight for like MB or CBS like uh. Sunday football or something like that. and like the whole highlight video is. just like guys getting their knees taken. out guys getting thrown onto their heads. like just getting smoked and like oh. every every highlight in that like cut. up is illegal in today's game wow which.

is crazy but guys used to get messed up. back in the day but then you have to. take in like are the guys that played in. the if you played in the NFL you're a. fan like good for you you were a good. athlete like you played at a high level. you played it with the best but like the. game in the 80s and even the 90s is way. different than it is today like just the. athletes too like you got guys out there. running four 240s like left and right in. the 80s you might have had one guy in. the whole NFL that could do that but now. it's like every team has three guys it's. just crazy how the game's evolved and. now like look at like you guys see guys. like miles Garrett that dude six five.

280 pounds and he's just muscle with. five percent body fat it's just like. like. he didn't ex they didn't exist right he. didn't he didn't exist 20 years ago. that's crazy they didn't even exist yeah. like he just didn't like that wasn't a. thing or like you might add one in the. entire NFL but like now the like guys. that look like that are everywhere I. have like five guys in my locker room. that if they wanted to if they punch me. in the face I could die. it's wild like I'm just like oh my like. his fist is the size of my entire face. and he could kill me with one punch it's. kind of weird to go to work with people.

like that yeah I bet it's weird oh I. would keep a little treat bag on me like. they do with like what they're raising. uh you know somebody that's raising some. Skittles yeah or just something. no I'd give him a probably a decent meat. or something I give a damn wag go at. that level you gotta keep them please. yeah hey where would you want a bottle. of tequila wine what do you want you. want canis yeah Hey Ron calm down on. this next play a little bit hey dude uh. thank you yeah. um that's funny you were talking about. having a I I read something summer you.

were you were thinking that they should. have an extra bye week right oh I'd love. to talk about this Theo yeah so we we. the NFL it starts in I see I leave for. training camp July 24th okay and what is. it now January February it's like March. but so you report in July 24th and my. season technically ended on January 29th. that's a long season. right okay so you have five months off. ish but like we have Spring football. that starts April 15th and that's two.

months oh dang what do you have to do. there uh it's not it's not as much. contact but you're just the first like. two weeks is just working out like. getting you into shape and you have to. be there uh basically you can zoom no so. uh it's it's not mandatory one of those. things like they want you there. um some guys have workout bonuses in. their contracts so they can only miss so. many days but like their coaches want. you to be there if you're a vet like. there's gonna like Trent Williams. probably won't show up you know for a. couple weeks because like he doesn't. really need to get better at football.

not gonna lie like he's probably the. best football player in the NFL okay as. our office of lineman our left tackle. but like there's certain guys that don't. do OTAs. um but it's really beneficial for young. guys because you just learn the Playbook. you go to the meeting it's kind of like. uh if you haven't really been in NFL too. much it's kind of like a just it's a. boot camp for the season yeah just kind. of gets you ready for it and like. there's a there's one week that's. mandatory at the end of it that. everybody has to go to or you can signed. but it's not mandatory I always go to. like like the I usually show up like May. 1st I'm like two weeks late usually just.

because my like I didn't get yesterday. was my first day in Nashville wow really. and it's like yeah the first week of. March and so like the entire month of. February I was doing stuff whether it. was Pro Bowl I was at the Super Bowl. doing some like gigs. um working with some of my marketing. partners and then after that I did like. a 10-day vacation with my wife because I. was like I haven't gone on vacation in. seven months so I'd like to go see a. beach yeah sounds really nice right now. so Maui I went so I did Maui last year. Hawaii is awesome beautiful so great it.

is beautiful I wish it wasn't as. expensive as it is but like I get it but. like I don't know like there's a. beautiful place in the world that I. haven't been but that's one of my. favorite places like you're in the ocean. and there's just massive islands that. look like they could move at any second. no and wreak havoc like that's how I see. I'm like wow that's some cool stuff but. I was I wasn't living like damn breath. of the wild you're living like Zelda. style dude that's what it feels like. dude yeah you're thinking like that. I'm like that is that like a giant. Pokemon is that gonna stand up and come. over here dude like that stuff Freaks.

Like that's what I think about when I'm. out there I'm like wow I'm just chilling. right now I know right I'm a 13 year old. kid Theo yeah it seems like that it. seems like you're just kind of like. living in these crazy adult like dream. worlds of a child but that you're. actually getting to navigate through. them. um. so so what about that extra bye week so. you oh yeah sorry yeah bye week no it's. okay season like January let's say July. 24th right and you're like fully. practicing let's just say July like the. first couple days are pretty easy but.

like by August 1st you're going full. speed go from August 1st until if you're. in the playoffs or like uh Super Bowl. like it's mid-February your body's just. rolling and getting beat up and so and. then LA with two years ago they added a. 17 a 17th game yeah who did that the. money people you know what ah I voted no. on it but it is what it is it just you. guys vote count uh well so there is well. um like it was a new CBA uh the. bargaining agreement and they put in.

how I understand it and I was explaining. to me is like they kind of just put the. 17th game out there and as players are. bored or like the player voted reps. we're like no we're not going to do that. and then when they finally gave us an. offer it was kind of like you're gonna. accept this or else and it somehow. passed the voting process and then went. to the players and it wasn't. um. I don't know how well it was explained. because it was in the middle of covet. too so it's really hard to get a hold of. people like it was weird and like that. was like zoom zoom was just kind of.

getting along too so like it was. difficult to you know get a lot of. people on a phone call I'm thinking. about these 1500 guys in the league they. were trying to do T like League wide. meetings can you imagine 1500 people on. a phone call yeah like it it was crazy. and so like it was difficult to get all. the information out there so we voted. and what I however many people voted. like there's a possible of like 1500. votes only like 800 people voted out of. the 1500 or something like that and the. thing it passed and so the 17th game was. included now and so they added a 17th.

game and so this is all my theory is if. you're gonna add a game so the week The. Season's 18 weeks long because there's. one bye week for every team right if you. just add another bye week and you give. everybody two it'll be a 19-week season. there's more there's more weeks of. football more money to be made and your. best players are staying healthy so like. why not just do it it makes simple sense. to me because and you can just I don't. like any player right now if the NFL. announced like we're gonna give. everybody a second by a week I don't. think anybody would ever complain about. that and like okay that makes our season.

one week longer now we're getting done. the third week of February okay like. maybe take out a week of OTAs and just. give us a week on the back end you know. let guys you know go on vacation or give. another guys a week to train it's like. once you're in the NFL and it's your job. like everybody wants to play football it. doesn't really take me a lot to get. motivated to play football I love what I. do and I think everybody else does so. it's like and there's like young guys. you have to keep them like in line kind. of because they don't understand it yet. like OTS and stuff like that but if you. get like there's NFL guys want to show. up and they're going to play at a high. level because they want to get paid they.

love playing on the football field you. feel like a gladiator when you stand in. the new Raider Stadium and it's straight. up and there's whatever 70 000 people. looking down on me oh dude it's one of. the coolest feelings ever like you. literally look up kill somebody at. halftime you feel like it dude it's. really fun so my whole thing is just. like add a bye week I don't think. anyone's gonna get upset about it and. your best player is going to stay. healthier longer you know I'm a big fan. of Raising Canes baby you know that God. I could eat it every day. I mean I just I wish to rate days in a.

don't I don't get that it's hard to. understand yeah no it's literally I'm in. a car accident every Sunday multiple car. accidents every Sunday like multiple. every Sunday and like like I said. earlier like there's a part of luck to. it like like there's a game like I've. had games where I hyper extend my knee. and like that's gonna that's gonna. affect your season like that's gonna be. there or you burst a bursa sack in your. knee that's going to be there for. several weeks and if you get luck you. don't have to deal with that stuff it's. a little bit better but like you're. still getting these car accidents and.

like Monday you actually like Monday I. have to do like a big lower body lift I. have to move otherwise you get really. stiff and like you get more sore so you. do a big lift try to stay a little bit. mobile but Mondays I usually feel okay. Tuesdays are really really hard days. like it's like the second day afterwards. you kind of feel everything Whiplash. kind of yeah it's literally what it is. and like there and there's some Tuesdays. are better than others like some like. and especially like if we play on the. East Coast we have a five hour flight. back I get home at four a.m those are. tough but um like you get in these car. accidents and like it takes like.

Thursday to Fridays when I start to feel. like myself again. and it's and then like the longer end of. this the more you end of the season you. get the more like your body to wear and. tear wear and tear wear and tears are. like really now like how I see it is as. if if I'm not doing football I'm doing. recovery whether it's tubs whether it's. bfr workouts whether it's just movement. yoga. um red light therapy saunas like. whatever it is that can make my body. hyperbaric chambers are big now. um whatever is like available I that's.

all I do like I get home from practice I. get home at like let's just say on a. Wednesday I'll be home at like 6 6 30. I'm instantly my next two and a half. hours are rehab and and like you can do. a lot of stuff at the stadium what I've. done is be. um because I got I got a contract so I. like I can afford to have a lot of that. stuff in my house now so then I get home. fast I can hang out with my wife for. longer because like my first two years. and my first three years in the league I. was at the facility for Mike. are they our meeting started let's say. for me to start at eight I'm there from. 6 15 until like 7 30 8 o'clock at night.

for like yeah it's just it's a long day. especially and then like I want to be. home I want to be with my wife. um and so it's just like I've purchased. those things I have in my house and so I. just I have a couple extra hours but. like Larry that's all you do now is. rehabbing Rehabilitation and there are. guys that don't do that I don't know how. they survive I don't understand it yeah. it's it's actually crazy like some guys. like they don't have to do all that. stuff but that's something I'd like I've. dedicated my well I mean like the. football window is like I said the. average lifespan's three years so I mean. like the window in the grand scheme of.

my life uh my college my rookie sorry my. freshman year at a coach uh David Wright. told me this he was like I drew on a. board it's like if you line here and lie. here let's just say it's 100 years right. that's your life I'll do it so you can. see it 100 years this is zero. and like so here you are you're 18 years. old you're right here this four-year. window of college is this big. and then you have the rest of your life. why not take advantage of that small ass. window right do everything you can to be. the best you can do this for years so. now after college now you get a chance.

in the NFL and now you're getting to the. now it's this big it's a bigger window. but it's still like a sliver it's like. 12 to 12 years of your life yeah one. tenth of your life and so like why not. put all your effort into being available. and being the best player you could. possibly be yeah and like like there are. guys like I don't touch I don't ski I. don't do anything possible like I don't. even play pick up basketball anymore. like I'm just like it's not what you. hide and go seek you think I could do. that yeah yeah freeze tag maybe I was a. big freeze tag guy back in the day. really do you ever play Ghost in the. graveyard. like you have one per you play at night.

and like one person and like you have to. hide and the whole point of the game is. if they tag you you're a ghost you have. to make it back to the home base which. is where the ghost Counts from and they. give you like like they go around the. clock one time and then it strikes. midnight and then the ghost comes for. you oh damn I used to play the hell out. of that game it was so fun really I. never got tagged really yeah ghost in. the graveyard it's so much fun damn. that's like that's what I played when I. was like four five six like that was. that was some of my favorite playing we. didn't play I don't think we played that. I don't know they had so many pedophiles.

in our neighborhood we didn't even try I. shouldn't you shouldn't hide yeah. dude Well yeah if you do get found as. possible man who has cable or whatever. use cable there's some [ __ ] he's. gonna kick up yeah it's always just some. [ __ ] lie or something you know I got. two VCRs you know like we can watch. movies you can just look at the other. one you know just some bait we have two. movies on at the same time they're just. [ __ ] to blow a kid's mind you know. um that's funny were we just talking.

about right before that though. um. like the window of your career and stuff. well if it even happens with comedy it's. like I know it's like I know when I get. back off the like when I'm on the road. it's like I know that I have to do yoga. right before I go on stage right yeah. I'll finish yoga literally probably. about nine minutes before I go on and. then I'll get in the shower I'll take. like a three minute shower okay and then. I'll get out and it's just that's my. pattern right it's like if I'm up late. I'll make sure that I get eight hours of. sleep yeah um which so let me ask you.

this so so like football on our game day. right Sundays depending on whenever you. like you kick off at 1 35 125 whatever. it is the schedule is perfectly adjusted. for they they'll tell you when you. should wake up and like breakfast is. here the bus leaves at this exact time. and it's you know in accordance like but. it's always the exact like it's two now. it's three hours before kickoff it's two. and a half hours before kickoff and. everything is regimented perfectly so. like I have the every Sunday I do the. exact same thing. I mean I usually I'm very I like my.

routines like yeah to get into the. mindset and flip the switch to like go. out there and play football and so like. from about yeah I mean from Saturday. morning until after the game Sunday like. I do the exact same thing every time. yeah it's wild but like so like you were. saying like you do yoga and you go. shower that habit yeah it's kind of. interesting to hear like how yours is. different than mine but you still have. something like that before you go on. stage yeah and when I get home it's like. I'll have to like I make sure I go to. the make sure I go to the work out with.

the trainer guys whenever I'm home right. I make sure I go get the NAD and like uh. I'll get the NAD and the uh extra fluids. probably I'll probably go every other. day do you yeah and if I don't get an ad. every time I'll get at least the extra. fluid every time just to keep myself. hydrated I go to arati yeah yeah or yeah. they keep changing the name of it but. they. um but yes nice in there the women in. there is good with the needle in there. they're they're they know what they're.

doing you ever have a bad like IV. experience dude. my buddy the other day we [ __ ] I'm. backstage he's like yeah I'll get an IV. too I'm like yeah give it a boy right. bro this [ __ ] lady put like [ __ ]. nine holes. and he's like six three of me he can't. find a [ __ ] Vein on this guy dude. that that gives me anxiety I don't I'm. not a big needle guy by any means I had. my first IV I ever got was because I had. to get uh I had to get ankle surgery in.

college and uh the first time she missed. my veins six times oh my God and then. she got and then she called someone else. in to do it and they did it and I was. fine a month later I had to go back and. do the other ankle and um the lady got. on her first try there wasn't a lid on. it and my blood just started skirting. out and I just passed out those are my. first two experiences with IVs and so. I'm kind of shook with them but I do it. like and you need the liquid you need. the hydration like the benefits that. they have outweigh my mild.

uncomfortableness. yeah I think that's it and I start to. get over it I will what I'll do is when. I'm to make them do one two three before. they put the needle in and then I'll. like jab my fingers into the side of my. head to give an opposite pain yeah so. pain transfer Theory yeah yeah I bite. the [ __ ] on my tongue it helps dude I. just bite my tongue I haven't done that. it sucks. or by your lip either one I'm not doing. that's crazy I feel like it is. psychopathic sometimes. next time I see people they just have. you eat your whole lip off oh no I bite.

the hell out of my tongue if I'm doing. something uncomfortable oh that's. interesting yeah but I'll do that I'll. like yeah I'm sure the women in there. what is wrong with him they must think. men are just the whip because they're. like having to give birth or whatever. like Pierce their breasts or whatever. but like man men are like you know we. can't even take the take that needle. from them. um but I do think the nad's interesting. I noticed with the NAD I'm able to just. go from one like this exercise this. exercise keep going it's almost like I'm. not even in my body it's like I'm just.

keep doing it you're not like I I I. don't do it all the time. um I do I do like it though like I think. I I was just I wake up with more energy. like that's the thing I just that's what. I'll always do it like in the afternoon. and it kind of makes me sleepy like I'm. not gonna lie but like the next day I. feel fantastic and that's kind of how I. view it and I don't do it all the time I. know some guys that like do a thousand. milliliters I'm like you guys are. psychopaths like I was doing I got up to. like 500 and I was doing about 22. minutes I was pretty proud of myself. damn that's insane that was like that. was a couple years ago like now dude I. can already do a hundred I'm just like.

oh this is the worst experience of my. life it just burns you down you guys. were doing it five years ago no sorry. like. no I was dude I was doing 500. milliliters like two to three years ago. okay that's when I kind of got in wow. that's still a long time ago I feel like. it's just kind of become popular amongst. us like I just I'm just a pretty much a. regular person so I would hear about. like more knowledgeable like people are. just under maybe thousand months ago. yeah yeah I think it just gets promoted. a little bit better like the benefits of. it like there's are things out there. that well one for athletes it's legal. and it's healthy for you so it's just.

like well why would I not do something. that's gonna help my body and just feel. better overall it is expensive though oh. my gosh it's a dollar a milliliter it's. crazy easy dude it's crazy it's like. printer ink yeah dude yeah why is that. so expensive that's crazy dude it is. crazy they Jack it up I guess if you. want to read you're gonna [ __ ] pay. for it you [ __ ]. but um so if you got into wrestling dude. say after this because that's what I I. think I could you start to become. some some guys they become some players.

are some some athletes they are also. able to become like a character in a way. I feel like you have like the enough. energy and like. just like this kind of psycho Charisma I. would call it where you can also be like. a character yeah and it's like I do mean. it as a compliment but it's like so I. could almost see you doing wrestling one. day I would love to be in the ring at. some point really yeah it's so like I've. been I was in a match uh it was actually.

right after I got drafted by the Niners. my buddy was doing a. um like a local it was like an hour away. from my for my house in Iowa he was. doing a show and it's actually uh Seth. Rollins WWE wrestler it's his wrestling. school in Davenport Iowa and they put on. shows and so he was in Quad Cities yeah. Quad City oh yeah yeah look at this guy. I love the Midwest I've been a Field of. Dreams man I've been to where the plane. crashed where uh Ritchie Valens died in. the Big Bopper I love that yeah I can't. remember the town name but anyway good.

for you the Midwest is awesome it's just. different yeah it's a lot different than. California it's a lot different than. here I like it dude I like some. grandmother [ __ ] forcing some cookies. in you you're gonna you're gonna eat and. you're gonna like it. dude I [ __ ] love that your bike tire. would just get all Caked Up in it oh. that's hilarious I'd love that [ __ ] what. were you talking about. um we're talking about you doing. wrestling so first of all you went to. Seth Rollins you had a school in Dallas. thank you so they put on a show and I.

got in the ring right after I got. drafted and I did I got to pull a stone. cold stunner on somebody that was. exhilarating. um they were like I want to say there's. between. 40 to 60 people in this little Arena I. mean and it was like it was like um. lives like just it was a building that. had didn't have uh like seating in it so. it's like just an open space like a Rec. Center sorry okay yeah rec center and. there's literally like 40 people in. there maybe and the pop everybody's. standing up and cheering like that was. one of the most exhilarating feelings. I've ever had in my life so like.

literally from that moment I was like I. get why people wrestle it is. exhilarating when you get the crowd to. go oh my gosh. literally it's so much fun and so yeah. like I I can't wait till I have the. opportunity to get thrown through a. table or throw someone through a table I. can't wait. it's gonna be amazing it'd be really. really interesting do you think who who. from the NFL would if you had to do tag. teaming if you had to have a tag team. partner from the NFL who would you pull. in now like. from like an athlete's standpoint like.

just football player I'd pick Trent. Williams because he could he's one of. the yeah he's incredible bring him up. and see if he can get him topless or. whatever just because we want to see. what who he is look up Trent Williams. back tattoo his nickname's the. Silverback oh really he's literally a. gorilla oh dang he yeah he's one of the. guy one of the Five Guys on my team that. could kill me with a punch. wow oh yeah there it is that's yeah I. mean he's he's like fully tatted now up. top. oh that's him he's big huh yeah that's. young Trent Williams right there. but he's a stud but I would pick him now.

if I was gonna pick someone who I think. would do like be a good WWE character. like it'd be a really good WWE wrestler. um. I think I mean Travis Kelsey like we'd. have a pretty fun uh like Titan Titan. Duo right there yeah the tightest ends. up could be called. um ends that are tight. I don't know Titus I mean I think you'll. get a new type of fan in the arena. you're not wrong I mean and that's fine. what is that fan you I mean no sir oh.

okay I love women's but I think that. there is a there's I think yeah you. could get a whole my current profession. I play in Tights is it is so that's a. good point huh yeah I'm used to it but. no like there are some great characters. in the NFL who I think could make easy. transitions over I mean you saw Gronk. did it like he was at WrestleMania. several years ago but did he won it. though Gronk I feel like gets he he like. he he gets put in all like everything. you know he's selling shave lotion he's. selling damn Parkers or whatever I saw. him on a um somebody had him in a uh.

somebody was doing Animals selling. puppies or whatever rescue animals or. something so I think you know he's. almost done so many things he does do a. lot and I was like did he want it though. like I could see you maybe becoming a. member in it do you feel like you would. just do it as a fun thing or do you feel. like it could be something you would. actually. I think I would have really enjoyed. doing that right now like I will say. like after meetings like I've got the. awesome Mark too WWE is a fantastic. company like how they organize and run. their stuff like I've got I've gotten.

able to go I've been able to go like. three wrestlemanias oh wow and this. literally this last one like the way. that it's ran picked us up picked me and. my dad and one of my buddies up and my. wife we gotta go backstage I gotta hang. out with Undertaker Stone Cold Steve. Austin I got to meet all these like. people that I'm a huge fan and then also. wrestlers are like when they're behind. the scenes like they're just they're. normal like I'm an NFL football player. and people see me like oh my gosh some. like some like kids are like oh my gosh. it's George kidding like that's how I. was a kid like NFL players are kind of. superheroes that's how kind of I am with. wrestlers I'm like it's so cool but as. soon as you get them off the stage. they're just normal people like the rest.

of us so just like just have a. conversation with them they're all so. cool like multiple guys are just hanging. out with my dad talking about random. stuff and like being able to have that. access is so much fun and so like that's. part of the reason that makes me really. want to you know try it and I think I. would enjoy it but I'm sorry I was gonna. say is like their schedule like they're. on the road. 320 40 days they don't get enough credit. for their schedule oh my gosh like if. they're doing the Because you see. everyone you see Monday Night Raw you. see I think AWS on Wednesdays and then. you have Friday Night Smackdown and then.

you have if there's a pay-per-view it's. on Saturdays or Sundays and then you. don't even count the ones that aren't on. TV there's like two uh non non-televised. shows um a week yeah there's like 80. there's a couple of other ones but like. no WWE puts them on they'll do like I. think they'll just they'll go like the. Dubuque Iowa and it won't be on TV but. it'll be in that air whatever Arena. that's selling tickets and they're just. selling tickets to put on the show so. it's for local shows and so it's a much. smaller production than like the live TV. ones but I've gone to a couple of those. and they're still really fun but it's. just like this they're they're in the. ring like I perform once a week they're.

in the ring and we're at yes there's a. script to it but like you can't fake. falling off like getting thrown through. a table you can't fake jumping off the. top rope to the ground which is a 10. foot yeah it's like even if you went to. Phantom of the Opera but what if people. are beating the [ __ ] out of each other. during it yeah like come on like it's. gonna hurt. so like that's why I decided I have. appreciation for wrestlers because it is. a grind one of my buddies like he's been. doing it since like he stopped playing. football with it so like let's just say. six years he has driven like he lives in.

Davenport Iowa and he's driven probably. I mean he goes to Maryland to wrestle. Florida to wrestle California to wrestle. Arizona to wrestle Nashville like he and. he just drives he doesn't fly that's. another thing they make him drive George. they get into a lot of these guys they. get they land they go to Avis they go to. the rental it is a you have to it is a. grind it is on you it is yes it's on you. to show up and be available to wrestle. like then you have like and like the. superstars in WWE like they probably. they fly and they do stuff but like a. lot of people literally just drive match.

the match week the week year to year and. not even the superstars like I'm friends. with The Miz who's a wrestler yeah oh. The Miz is great man great energy you. guys a little bit remind me of each. other a little bit actually. um I think that's a compliment yeah it. is a compliment I like the mess he's um. he's good people I love how big of a. football fan he is I do appreciate it he. is he's a he's a he's he's a good dude. he um but he would talk about how like. you had to like pay your I mean you. would he's like you get there there's. fans that are excited about the airport. but then you just you have to go get. your rental car you have to [ __ ] get.

in you have to drive two and a half. hours then you have to go uh run through. the script in the ring it's like I'm. like damn it's a lot that's a lot and. then you have to perform yeah think. about like think about like you have to. put oil on your body dude like like you. like us like you'd have to wet your hair. back and like so it doesn't get all in. your face and and then some of those. guys are out there performing like not. every match is like super long but like. there are guys that go out there and do. like the 25 minute matches like that's a. lot of cardio oh yeah oh that's like two. more yeah yeah like one in Orange Theory.

but people are beating the [ __ ] out of. each other in it with chairs dude it's. nuts just like the time that it like the. time and then like the physicalness and. like they don't get time to rehab and. like do all that stuff they don't have. access to all that stuff like I have a. facility I get to go to every day yeah. they're at the hotel pool. hot tub hopefully it has a bathtub so I. can take a hot bath tonight to warm up. my legs yeah it's crazy you probably go. to the yeah you go to like the ice. machine you open it up and uh you know. half of The Hardy Boys are there. whatever like damn this is crazy.

yes I think it's a tough it's a really. really tough gig I just think there's a. lot of things that are a little bit. behind the scenes of a lot of. performances that you just see the. the show yeah and you don't see like a. lot of the other stuff that has to go on. no um dude I I like I always enjoy. whenever I'm backstage and you can like. catch someone like a like a tag team. with the other Tag Team fake going. through the match it's so cool to see. that stuff it's just it's really. interesting because I'm like wow like.

there's a lot of intricacies to this and. like there's a because there's always a. build up to the match and then like you. just for them to know it and because. it's not memorized but like they're out. there trusting each other that the guy's. gonna do what they expect them to do. yeah it's crazy and if you have to. memorize something you're dumb it's. [ __ ] hard oh my gosh it has to be so. difficult oh dude I was you know I. wouldn't say I'm yeah I'm like kind of. you know but I've definitely been dumb. and had to memorize [ __ ] and not done it. it just it. there's like there are some things that.

are just hard and it is what it is and. dude never studying in high school and. you'd be like you closed the book he's. like I have no idea I study for 90. minutes and have no idea oh my gosh dude. that was yeah like I'm like okay where I. just there's two hours okay and now I. gotta go do the whole thing again. because I forgot what I just read yes. awesome oh my God I was a big I had to. highlight everything and then I'd have. to go back and then read the highlights. and then sometimes I'd be like why did I. highlight the whole page I might as well. not have a [ __ ] highlighter I should. just read the whole thing again oh my.

God that was the worst oh my goodness. yeah dude you're the only one refilling. your highlighter I'll be sitting there. and like the owner that wouldn't be. highlighted is like the like I skipped. outward I was like well although the. other things are pretty important so I. guess I don't need a highlighter I'll. just read the whole thing again you'd. even highlight the picture you like draw. like a highlight around the picture like. this yeah and this oh flip it oh that. page too okay oh my goodness hey could I.

snag a water by chance yeah for sure. please and thank you we got another you. have to pee or anything. uh thank you for asking it's very kind. of you oh well it creeps me out being. around somebody that has somebody has a. full bladder and they and they're just. staying like to be talking to someone. and they're knowing that they're full of. pee at the same time something about. that creeps me out dude I am mildly. um like. what's it called what's like if you. don't like clo like tight spaces. claustrophobic claustrophobic yeah so.

like airplane bathroom airplane. bathrooms I don't do all in those it is. weird in there dude it's super tight so. like I go five hour flights without. going to the bathroom wow constantly but. you could probably hold a lot more urine. than a regular person sure but like I. mean like there are guys that go two to. three times on a flight and like I'm so. hydrated it's not like I'm not drinking. water like I go through like two of. those big Essentia bottles stuff like. that and it's just like no I'm just. uncomfortable I'll hold it I'm good well. I just ride the bag just ride it and. like there are times like and like like. in the last like two years like we've.

like kind of like changed the plane that. we were on so there's a bigger bathroom. so I feel less bad about it but like. it's still like it's it's not my. favorite thing to do I get it's weird I. don't like small close places like you I. don't think you could pay me an amount. of money got a submarine oh yeah. can you imagine going down like a. thousand feet under water and if. anything happens you're just implode and. you die. well first of all it seems so dumb why. would you do it why would you go down. there like what were they doing down. here like like 50 years ago too like. right like what are we doing like and.

like who said like who built I was like. this is gonna work how many how many. people got into a submarine and went. down 500 feet like in the prototypes and. it just imploded on I'm like ah that. wasn't the right model we're gonna fix a. couple things. like who's the test at me for that also. you put like seven guys in a [ __ ]. tank right and if they pop up in another. country they're gonna get five there's. seven of them yeah what's going on oh. that'll that like get a lion your wife. the whole time that's gotta be the.

hardest part of it where were you yeah. let's just say I'm underwater man I'm. hanging with the boys. dude yeah no like so yeah like I'm. mildly claustrophobic and it's just like. I don't what about that helmet though no. it's just it's where my body like I've. been a lot of MRI machines I've just. been football like that's just my job. like I get banged up there's certain. things you gotta look at I had um at the. combine before my rookie year I had to. get like six MRIs in one night it wasn't.

really fun but one of them was either do. both my shoulders because I've both my. labrums I tore them in high school I. never had surgery on them and so like. I've never really had shoulder problems. I can't throw football very well. um but uh like the NFL teams wanted to. see MRIs of them they wanted to get. their own pictures and so they put me in. a smaller MRI machine and I had to sit. like this and it was an hour and 45. minute MRI because they did both. shoulders at once and that was that was. a very difficult time for me like I was. I took I sleep and memorize too for some.

reason the noise like knocks me out but. I woke up with about 45 minutes left and. I like you know like have you ever been. in MRI oh yeah yes but like you know. like you squeeze the panic button. basically it took me a lot to not. squeeze that button like it was that was. that was one of the most cluster folks. I've ever been I it was off I was in a. full sweat there wasn't a fan so it's. hot full sweat I was like oh my it. getting out of that was one of the best. moments of my life dude like an escape. room kind of dude it was just like worse. one and it's like ten thousand dollars. like okay here's one would you rather.

drown or get buried alive. let me think about it for a second. all right let me think about the second. one what was the second one buried alive. or drown. yeah just let me think about buried. alive. but you're in a wood box 10 feet. underground oh bro put me a little. closer no 12 feet oh come on you ever. see Kill Bill when she breaks out and. climbs out of the hole uh I don't know.

if I have or not I don't know which one. that is but there's a scene where she's. literally in there and she's like. punches the Box breaks through and she. climbs out of a grave. you're not getting out of the box. there's nothing you can do you're not. getting out but at least just put me at. two feet so I feel like I can you're not. gonna. oh he was sick you're not good enough. dude uh so these are conversations I. have with my friends so buried alive. right yeah so well live you're gonna be. in there you're gonna coffin basically. right but you're gonna be able to first.

of all you'll be able to convince. yourself okay I'm dot I'm like doing. like a cleanse or whatever I'm dieting. no like a guy Larry just looks he goes. you're gonna go in this box I'm gonna. put you in the ground okay you're not. getting out. and that's it. and there's no chance you're getting out. what would you rather do oh I put me in. the water man you think we just go to. sleep you just pass out. but no you don't pass out dude you ever. been no but like think about you you and. like that's what isn't that like the. Navy Seals training they they drown you. and then they resuscitate you.

that's no that's I think that's like the. mob or something no that's a real thing. dude yeah that's a that's a real. training thing do that look it up Navy. Seals drowning one another that's a. thing dude I swear to God really now. probably I mean who knows what the [ __ ]. they're doing well so like you have to. be prepared for anything and then you. got like you have to save your teammates. life [ __ ] like that and so but sorry. about it what you're saying yeah it's. like yeah and so like I would rather I. think just go underwater and pass out. from not being able to breathe because. loss of oxygen but that's but then you.

could be alive you could be in that box. for 24 hours 20 what do you know like. days think about it you could be there. for days dude you're not gonna be in the. yeah wouldn't you oh does that sound. terrible I don't know how big is how. little is the box like you have like two. inches on each side oh God I thought you. meant like one of those Aaron Rodgers. drug boxes that he was in yeah what do. you think he did in there oh I'm sure. well I I don't know if he did like. Ayahuasca I know he was like wouldn't it. be aggressive to do like uh like a hard. psychedelic in that area like being in.

that dark hole well I think it was I. think it was like a nice enough I think. it was the room was like about this it. was probably about 300 square feet. so I think it was like no like I don't. know man in the dark that's not for me. like that I under like I I don't. understand it like I appreciate him for. like you know good for you for wanting. to try that I don't know if I will ever. do that but. okay it was something yeah the depth I. think it was about like a site deprivate. or like just like what would happen if. you don't if you're not without the.

stimulus you know yeah for sure and like. there's no phone there's no. communication with anybody else like. you're literally alone with your. thoughts you're alone with your thoughts. which is see what your thoughts yeah. it's just like go for him like I don't. know how old Aaron is but he's been in a. league for a long time he's gonna be in. the Hall of Fame right so it's just like. he has a Super Bowl uh he has what I. think he has multiple MVPs like he's a. Hall of Famer so like do you want to. continue to play football he doesn't. like I mean I like I have to it doesn't. have to if he doesn't want to so it's. like do you do I still want to do this. like do I still love the game that I you.

know that I grew up playing and so and. and I don't know if that's what his. reasoning was but like I think that's. what it would be and so like if that's. what you want to do like to get along. with your thoughts I I get that I'm not. ready for that like I don't need that in. my life right now but hey maybe when I'm. 35 like maybe maybe that's something you. want to do so like I'm not going to. judge him for it it's wild and now I. know about it and like well I have that. in my back pocket if I ever just want to. disappear for four days and it's Brave. of him kind of in a way to do it because. a lot of guys are afraid to I think you. know I know he's friends with Aubrey.

Marcus and uh they aubry's big into like. uh psychedelic medicines and like. um just like templates of therapy and. stuff like that right huge into it like. just different types of therapy oh even. all types of stuff like like muscle like. like even like being under the influence. of certain things and then like doing. certain things to your muscles to. release like Memories like and this is. like all that's cool I'm paraphrasing. but Arby's oh that's cool deep into that. world right and I think a lot of guys. would be especially at Aaron's level of.

popularity he's famous famous right. would be embarrassed to not embarrassed. but would probably feel uncomfortable. talking about that especially he brought. me he brought it up and he talked about. it like on the Pat McAfee show too the. boys love them but like they uh like. just to bring that up and like and it's. Aaron Rodgers like everything that he. says on to the media like everybody's. gonna do that's all they got everybody. it's a clip like any if he's says. anything out of like out of line or kind. of controversial like that's a headline. on hundreds of newspapers or like online. online newspapers so it's just like for.

him to go out and say that like that was. the only thing anyone talked about for. the next three days oh yeah it was crazy. all over social media like the meme. Pages everyone making fun of them for. but like for him to go out there and. talk about it like I didn't even know. that was a thing and I'm kind of that's. cool like again not for me right now but. but it's a factor who knows who knows. like I might want to do that someday. yeah yeah they have all types of things. like that like there's like a camp you. can go to where no one talks for like a. week and then I think you can do like. you still interact with people yeah you. still interact and if you do two weeks. so it's like charades I guess.

whoa so like if you know sign language. is that cheating oh I don't know but. you'd have to bring someone that also. knows it otherwise. otherwise people to think you're into. some [ __ ] you're like just like in a. bunch of gangs. just don't stop that's funny dude. but um that's cool you want to go to one. oh dude I would go I bet it would be. something really cool to do probably. with a friend or your wife or something. like that'd be interesting just be. interesting like hey let's just go have.

this weird experience it's gonna be fun. we're going to be around each other but. we can't talk for a whole week it's. gonna be really weird yeah it'd be. really really weird you know I don't. know I don't know if my wife would like. that too much. um but I think like I would bring like. one of my buddies on that like just I I. think I would try to make him talk and. try to make him laugh oh yeah that would. be you yeah but you can't be that weirdo. who's [ __ ] tickling some dude in the. distance all the time I mean you can if. you want man that's your call it's on. you man people are just staying away. from you the whole time you just think I.

kind of gotta try to get people to. squeal okay oh my God like who's this. [ __ ] silence. Anarchist over here but Aaron Rodgers is. also interesting he's not married no so. it's kind of how how old is Aaron. Rodgers I'm gonna go 36 okay so he's. getting to be at a point in his life it. kind of seemed like he's just he he. seemed like he's definitely kind of a. Searcher kind of dude you know yeah I. think I think look like. 39 yeah he's 39 years old I will like I. think at his point his I mean again like.

I have no idea but like at some point. football is not the only thing in my. life right like I'm not just a football. player like there's more sides me than. that and I think he's been playing. football since he was probably five. seven years old for the last 30 years I. bet she wants to find out like who else. like what other parts of me like what. else do I love as much as football it's. a good point man I think that that's I. think that probably happens for a lot of. guys who get. stuck into one uh or who starts so young.

in something because then you're like at. some point you're like as of. did I get put into this did I really. obviously I've Loved this at certain. points and it's been a great big part of. my life but are there other things yeah. that I want to do that I don't even I'm. so been so stuck in this vein. that I don't even know what they are. yeah like you just you missed like you. missed that window and like granny like. I don't know if you would like I. wouldn't trade my opportunity like I. love playing football like who knows. like there could be something else that. like I might have loved to do it if I.

just would have given it a shot like. maybe I love the cross maybe if I like. uh yeah I mean like what if I did that. or like what if I wanted to be the. Brittany Griner of [ __ ] lacrosse I. think dude you'd have been a [ __ ]. gangster that's a [ __ ] compliment oh. dude you would have been insane and look. crossed yeah actually but it wasn't. offered where I lived and so like who. knows like I could have enjoyed that. like I don't know so like maybe he's. like at some point you want to figure. out what else what else you love you. know I think that a lot about like even. some of my friends that are athletes. that are black guys actually sometimes I. think because a lot of young black men.

they didn't have any other opportunities. except for athletics that's it so I. start to wonder sometimes like if that's. even a bigger thing in there sometimes. Community or that you'll start to see. like because they didn't have any other. choice no or there weren't as many. options to get I mean not as many. outlets right not as many outlets like I. mean unless opportunities too yeah sure. so it's like damn I wonder how many of. those guys start to feel like man is. this something that I even wanted to. even not wanted to do was it more like. do I love the game or is it like more of.

my only choice I had that was my like. that's what I had to do it's kind of. interesting it is interesting I think I. think well one like football is really. hard if you don't love it Like It's. really because like what you put your. body through what you put like the. stress levels through like we put our. like I know every like our professions. like when you're out there you know for. like to perform and like that's how like. people watch you and stuff like that. it's like there's a stress that comes. out because you can make one bad play. and like that's the only thing everybody. on Twitter is yelling at you for and. telling you that you're a piece of [ __ ]. and so like there's a there's a mental.

stress to it there's a physical stress. to it time away from your family like I. just said like I I my Nashville's my. home I haven't this is my second day. back since July 24th that's so wow yeah. so it's crazy and I love it here like I. love Nashville I love being a part of. this city. um and I live in San Jose California for. for seven months out of the year so. which is it's wild because it should. yeah it just it blows me away. yeah you know even yeah I mean I can. relate to a lot of that I love being. here and I feel like I kind of get to.

know it in increments because I'm always. going to be gone it's very hard for me. to start a relationship with someone. yeah then I don't know I'm gonna be able. to upkeep you know it's like um I've. already kind of written off that I might. even be able to you know I would like to. have a spouse you know and so it's like. I think. uh maybe there's a possibility in the. next year and a half I'll meet somebody. but I know for the next year and a half. I'm probably going to be touring a lot. and so it's like I haven't written it. off but it's like I know it's going to. limit my chances for sure if I'm in the. same place being able to like um have a.

commitment that I'm there with all the. time you know yeah no I do get that and. it's also but like you have to be kind. of selfish because this is your window. of opportunity right like if it's it's. out there for you Nick you could say no. but like will that opportunity ever come. again yeah right so like might as well. take advantage of it and like you know. it's that you don't like not everybody. has to do that like it's it's a life. choice if you want to do that and you're. making sacrifices but it's like. I mean dude I guess if you like if you. enjoy doing it go do it and like you can. pause for a year and a half like. you're like you're still going to be.

here scary though to do it so if I said. George Kittle won't you take a year and. a half off right a footballer off of. like football oh no that no that's what. I was talking about dating taking a year. how year and a half off of dating like. oh right right I see what you're saying. I thought you meant to take a year and a. half off of doing it no don't do that. don't do that like I'm saying I see this. opportunity dog it's right there go do. it you're doing a great job so just keep. doing it well thanks man yeah yeah it's. but it's interesting it's like uh. yeah you have to look at that and kind. of figure that out.

um I have to pee real fast go forward. all right right back. what um. do you. Celsius. what is it it's just cell it's like has. a little bit of caffeine in it. so it's just called Celsius. I like it my friend Dustin Poirier. drinks it oh really that's how I learned. about it do you watch any UFC a little. bit I'm involved with pfl. the professor of Fighters League oh. really yeah gone to that a little bit.

and they do what fighting it's same. thing yeah it's the same thing it's like. kind of a tournament style though so. like it's like they have so if you win. the first round you just move on second. round I tell you that's how they decided. who wins the belt oh wow it's kind of. cool it's on ESPN plus I think yeah PSP. and plus that seems a lot more almost. realistic in the what the value of the. belt is yeah that's what it's cool like. and I'm not like I'm not huge in the UFC. stuff like I'll watch like the big. fights like I enjoy watching that. um do I don't follow it religiously like. a lot of people do but. um I I mean I have the most respect for.

those people because it's insane oh it's. crazy cue like they like. that when they go into the ring like. when they flip the switch there's no. like there's no buffer it's like I'm. trying to kill this person like in. football like it's it's a little bit. like you have that mindset to an extent. but like they're actually in there until. someone pulls them off of them it's. crazy to me yeah that's wild yeah. there's it's a different level of um of. violence that you're willing to do. um we have a friend Drake you know Drake. yeah I just did his podcast you did yeah.

watch the block on oh it's so cool. episode man that's pretty impressive. congratulations dude I love Drake he's. such great energy dude dude he is bro. there's something of yeah he's like he. reminds me of like he reminds me of uh. mankind a little bit for sure dude he's. a psycho yeah well so here's a fun Drake. story. um my senior day in college he played. fullback with me at Iowa that's how I. know him oh that's how you guys know. yeah and so also then like I was number. 46 he was number 45 and so our lockers. are next to each other for like three or. four years that's how they do it by.

numbers and I when they and we got a new. Locker our old locker room it was like. you would go. uh it was like 1 through 50 and then. like every other number was 51 through. 99. okay and so like it'd be one and. that'd be 51. 252. people some people would quit. because of that it's confusing it was. weird your lockers put like the new one. it was like one started here and it just. kind of went around and so it was yeah. so 45 46 were next year so we became. friends and then uh this past oh sorry.

my senior day uh so my fifth year we're. playing Nebraska and we'd beat the shot. of them because uh oh because of Will. Compton oh no so he beat Iowa once he. always talks about that or something. like that I don't know he's always. talking about something dude he's he. always talks about something it is what. it is but he looks like a premature baby. on [ __ ] pre-workout. dude. that's really funny dude wow well that's.

tough for you dog you went to Nebraska. and you look like that that's super. tough wow sorry but Drake I mean I. didn't say any of that no you didn't no. what are you talking about no idea who. said that yeah but sorry but uh Drake. yeah my very first play we're running an. inside Zone he's at fullback and I'm. blocking somebody and I just hear a snap. and I turn around and Drake's leg is. Twisted he broke it himself no he like. he he hits he hits somebody and then. someone landed on it and just snapped in. half first play cause he's nuts oh he's.

a psycho and it's awesome but there's a. cool we have a cool photo where it's. like he's getting carted off and he's. basically like telling us all to beat. the [ __ ] out of him it was pretty. awesome pull it up Steven you just full. of Drake cool yeah hulik yeah I know. Drake kulick or yeah we're in it. together it's a fun photo but I'll say. like he spent this entire last offseason. he lives he moved to Nashville to train. with me so every day yeah because he. invited me out a couple times to you. you're a barn out there oh yeah so he he. came out yeah that's when he broke his. leg whoa yeah it's super aggressive.

um I've never seen him there's us three. right down there in the middle left left. left down yeah it's me 46. oh wow yeah I don't know there's one. holder there somehow. yeah well I don't and 52 dude I could. have been 52 I'm just saying he that I'm. just saying thick boy out of Iowa that's. off the line right there oh yeah that's. all [ __ ] yeah well that's that that. was us hanging off first yeah look at. that boy but he uh yeah so he came down. he trained with me uh we did four days a.

week. um he was fantastic and it was always. too like he's such a he's a great dude. to have around too because he's very. aware of his surroundings and also being. around someone that knows like Jiu Jitsu. and how to fight it's really I enjoy. that having someone that he could just. flip a switch anymore like someone tried. to [ __ ] with me he would 100 have my. back at any moment I appreciate people. like that and it could be a big dude too. like that value of knowing that skill. and you're friends with you it's well. but also it changes the game of like if. it's a big dude versus a little dude.

sure that game's changed dude yeah. you're not wrong I was like it was fun. we went to uh in Scottsdale for the. Super Bowl because that's where he lives. now uh I had tickets to uh the Drake. concert up there and so I we go to it. and uh on our way out because it's com. it's crazy those concerts they have they. tried it they pack like 20 000 people. into a place that fits five thousand oh. yeah and like there's it's just it's. it's it's crazy. um but like there's like TMZ and all. this Paparazzi outside waiting for.

people and. I like two guys kind of put my camera in. my face and he just kind of goes up and. throws an elbow into a rib cage and the. dude just kind of drops clears a path. for me I get into a car and he stopped. right behind me I was like you good he. was like what are you talking about not. throwing under the bus straight but that. was awesome it was so sick so don't get. sued please. um no he would help me out when I would. go to uh the national MMA he would help. me all the time and just like always. like just a good teacher but yeah he has. a great energy man and he's still. fighting he's yeah he's training like. full time yeah he sends me clips all the.

time I love it and no like what's. awesome like he his so like yeah I keep. talking about like the switch that you. have to flip his switch like his. football switch is still flipped on and. it just kind of always so he just kind. of has this like this anger and like. this violence of energy and I like I. really because not everybody's there's. not a lot of people like that and so. being around someone that has that kind. of that energy to them that's just. violence I really appreciate that and. he's a great dude he's super kind and. he's wonderful but like like there's not. a lot of people that are triggered like. that or like wired like that and I like.

those people yay do you I you like the. violence I like people that are just I. like people that are wired differently. just high energy not even high energy. but he's just like controlled anger. and he's just kind of like ready to go. at any moment and I appreciate people. like that because it's hard to be like. that all the time it wears on you oh I. could imagine it's hard to just [ __ ]. have all the fire inside of you but and. it's just like burning it all the time. right but people don't want any fire. outside so you gotta [ __ ] just walk. around like a furnace dude I know it's. like you either have to put it out or.

keep it super low but like his is like. at a medium anger all the time and I. really I like that that's interesting. it's a great way to describe him he yeah. he's a special dude man. um what else I was going to ask you. about oh what was it like when you were. a kid did you like have a did you have. like crazy Halloween costumes and stuff. like did you dress up like a [ __ ]. yeah what'd you do um so it's fun fact. my so I said my mom had nine sisters. she's one of ten girls her dad was. Halloween was his birthday and so and. like the dad that had nine kids ten ten.

daughters ten daughters yeah basically. yeah his birthday was Halloween. that's really funny yeah that's really. funny that's a good one I'm gonna tell. my mom that one I don't know if that's a. government I don't know anything in your. mouth that's really funny that's all. that's awesome but so and we had like I. would say like let's just say like six. of the six of the daughters all lived. like within an hour or so so and they. all had kids and so like we'd have. Halloween parties and like we'd have. like 30 to 40 people show up for. Halloween and like 25 of us are kids and. so we would just basically go through.

these small Iowa towns with like all. these like just 25 deep and it was. really fun but Batman was a good that. was one of my top characters to be I. really like the Grim Reaper like I had. the like the nylon mask you'd pull on. your face and I just walk around the. Scythe wouldn't say anything yeah I was. kind of creepy I really enjoyed that one. the Grim Reaper yeah he doesn't get. people don't dress up like the Grim. Reaper very often no not not anymore no. I wouldn't I don't think I've ever seen. anybody be the Grim Reaper that was like. my number one costume from like five to.

nine probably wow love the grimy really. until I grew out of it maybe maybe like. like four to seven but like but that's. just interesting I don't know any I've. never heard anybody say they were the. Grim Reaper dude you said you had like a. skull for a face you were a cool robe. and you just got to carry a big Scythe. yeah now to hit my cousins with it all. the time yeah we have that many [ __ ]. Cousins you can if you lose a few you. lose a few you know if someone falls. behind they fall they fall behind the. Pack's still deep man that's crazy wolf. pack man you got to survive that's wild.

bro that's awesome. um what was your costume my costume let. me think oh we got a book my dad was. like a senior citizen so you would. always pick messed up [ __ ] at the last. minute so we had me and my brother were. both Raggedy Ann one year. that's awesome oh it was horrible dude. and we're so pissed we're in the [ __ ]. yard just two raggedy hands beating this. [ __ ]. that's all young male children dressing. [ __ ] drag dressed in Halloween drag.

beating the [ __ ] out of each other just. [ __ ] it was always a nightmare dude. yeah we that's awesome. oh my mom would have to work so my day. was he was in charge of getting us ready. for Halloween and stuff like that and it. was just [ __ ] horrible one time we. wanted face paint we wanted like white. face paint and to do uh. to do like skeletons or whatever you. know be skeletons and my Dad forgot it. or whatever and so. I remember he poured us like a little.

bowl of like. I want to say no it was like. he poured us like a little bowl of um. of like half and half cream or whatever. so I remember me and my brother like. trying to get this [ __ ] and he's like no. you're not using enough and I remember. [ __ ] just like. then or we go outside like all the. neighborhood cats are [ __ ] coming. over like just just everything was just. so [ __ ] it was just so ridiculous oh.

dude so it was like it was always like. this weird Halloween. um and then Halloween's a crazy concept. but anyways it is kind of crazy it's. good though I love it yeah let like be. weird oh Halloween was it yeah Halloween. was good. um what else oh what about. uh. uh what about like so with that big of a. family did you guys do like big family. events and stuff would you get pretty. crazy every year it was literally up.

until. um what was that summer at summer 2019 I. think it was we did uh we had the Cragar. family reunion and my mom's maiden name. is Craig or k-r-i-e-g-e-r and so they uh. we'd have a family reunion and we used. to have it like in Iowa at like this. kind of another it was like I can't. remember what it was called but it was. like this small town and it's like out. in the woods was like this. um just like big building that it was. like a little hotel I guess but they. they had like 80 rooms and so like each. family would get a room and we literally.

we'd like we had almost the entire. family like we had like a hundred and. like 12 people there one time and like. we do Wiffle ball tournaments and then. like kind of and I usually did when I. was a kid like but you'd have I mean I'd. say like 80 of the people 80 out of 120. 80 out of 110 would play and you'd have. these huge Wiffle ball tournaments we do. kickball a lot of card games but like. that was the most fun because I went to. those when I was like between the ages. of like 7 and 14. oh yeah I'll do so I. was just out there having the time of my. life playing in the woods getting food. and you just can hang out with all your.

best friends all the time and like I was. close to my cousins too because like I. said we all lived in Iowa so we were all. like I've lived with some of my cousins. before like throughout my life so it's. like we're all really good friends and. so like those family units were really. fun dude that's such a well that's so. amazing who gets to have an experience. like that not very many people and like. that many family members that close too. and like people like we had family lived. in Indiana family lived in Colorado and. everybody would always come back from it. but like Larry yeah I'd say like from. age like nine to probably 16 like we had. like a seven year window there where.

like over 100 people would show up every. time wow it was pretty cool dude that's. awesome it was really fun. um yeah that's just so cool that's one. thing that's neat I think about a lot of. a lot of the Midwest there were some big. families you know especially a lot of. church families you'd see a lot of. church families and they'd roll up. they'd always had that church van you. know and they got down one of my cousins. has one of those because he is like I. think they what do they have I would say. like 12 13 kids now yeah they roll up. with the with the white van it has. Windows so thank goodness.

bro if your family rolls up. 20 kids get out yeah oh that's a. kidnapper so thankfully they got windows. on their car yeah no women get out bro. that's yeah that is definitely it was. just like oh my gosh they have so many. kids and it's like hey I love that like. they're they're a fantastic family it's. fun but just like that's a lot of that's. a lot of people it's a lot do you guys. will you think you guys have a big. family do you have thoughts about that. or not yeah I mean I'd say like uh my.

wife has one brother I have one sister. but like we both want to have I have. like three to four kids that's good yeah. that's right that's that'd be a dream. yeah be really fun yeah I think it'd be. nice especially if you can I think these. days especially too if you can afford to. have them that's probably a big part of. it. um and then like my wife she's six foot. tall and she oh I've seen her she played. basketball at Iowa so she's an athlete. so like I think my kids will be good for. college actually I know they will be. their ball they're going to be Ballers. yeah that's all like two but for sure.

like nil deal year two yeah I mean two. years old two years old yeah. age too. that'd be awesome yeah but yeah no I I. would prefer a bigger family because. this is what I was thinking about this. too because like I said so she's in a. family of four I'm in a family of four. if me and her have four kids and we're a. family of six neither one of us has ever. interact like we've had friends that. have families like that but like I've. never been responsible in a family of. four kids and so like I'll be a whole. new interaction for me like I've never.

been like I've never I've never had a. brother so like I know like I had. cousins that are brothers I have friends. that are like Brothers to me but like I. never had an actual brother so like if I. have two sons or can you imagine Three. Sons like what that was interaction. would be like I've never experienced. that before so like it'll be a. completely new experience for me too. which is I think that's really cool. yeah dude that'd be oh I think the. family Dynamics totally different than. what I was used to oh yeah to see what. that's like yeah like I think that's. just gonna be really interesting yeah. yeah having a brother is pretty cool man. I know right like yeah I'm so thankful I.

had a sister like she like she's taught. she taught me a bunch. um I definitely like I didn't fight my. sister she beat the [ __ ] out of me. sometimes that was about it but like I. didn't really have an opportunity to. fire because she was she was like 5 10. at the age of 10 Just Whipped up on wow. was she dude she was like she was a. stallion back in the day like she's like. when she played high school basketball. like she could fight me and beat me up. pretty easily damn so like I was like. yeah what do you need to see some of. that footage I think if she didn't only. fans of just that you want to see my my. 17 year old sister's highlights I'd.

watch a 17 year old girl beat up George. Kittle yeah for nine dollars a month. yeah young George Kittle yeah sure you. know what honestly it's not that weird. when you say it like that yeah young. jerk kid I'm not saying like I don't. need any lingerie oh I'm just saying. I'll send you a video of my scissors. beating the [ __ ] out of me in a couple. days I see her. um when you look at uh when you how long. does it take you to forget about the. season and start to think about the next. one how long does that kind of pain take. I can only imagine especially if you're. a very competitive person yeah you have.

such a great. uh Team what is the um how long does. that take how long does that take. um. honestly it's like kind of like waves. dude in the ocean like. right afterwards like it hits you a lot. and then like the farther away you get. from it the waves don't hit as often and. so you just kind of like it kind of goes. away but like it's still like I lost a. Super Bowl it still sucks like I don't. like it sucks like I wish I would have. won it would have been really fun like.

that's a dream like I said and when you. get close like we've lost two NFC. championships games back to back like it. sucks but like. the great thing is is I made it out I I. just try to take as positive as I can I. made it out healthy. um I can train right away again we still. have a very talented team and so like. yes it sucked but hey I'm still very. confident that we have like we have an. opportunity to win a Super Bowl so yeah. it really it sucks but like you get on. with it and like there are other parts. of your life that you know like kind of. pick you up right like I have a great.

support system whether it's my family or. my wife like I have a great support. system I have great friends I have a lot. of friends who like deal with the same. stuff and so just like a lot of football. friends who like so like it's not a. support group but it's just like you. have people that go through similar. stuff so like you're not alone in it. that's the one benefit of football like. at the end of the year there's only one. team that wins so 31 other teams are all. dealing with some of the same [ __ ] yes. you can call almost anybody literally. like it's really hard to win a Super. Bowl so like yeah if you want to talk. about it or stuff like that now I don't. think you really need to talk about it's. just kind of like you just got to get. you get it just takes a couple weeks. really like like the first two to three.

weeks afterwards really suck but like. now that I'm back in Nashville and like. I'm like I said I'm healthy and I can. train it goes away pretty quick after. that but like the perspective probably. starts to switch to the Future a little. bit and also like if and like so my. first two years our team wasn't very. good and so like my I didn't go to the. playoffs so like when your season ends. in like December it's you're kind of. like all right well yeah it kind of we. sucked this whole year but like you're. also like when you know you're not in. the playoffs. it's. you you're you're like you're playing. for yourself and you've got to put. yourself out there and like you want to.

like you got to put good stuff on tape. like you can't just give up but like. there are like there's a the energy. changes the energy changes and it's it's. harder to get like eaten during the. middle of the game no not like that but. no I'm saying like this week to week oh. yeah like so like if you're like an 0-9. team like my rookie year we started on. nine oh yeah not very fun but like and I. was just and I was learning right not. even a team what do you even doing it. was brutal man it was really fun though. but it was brutal we had like 25 rookies. on the active roster it was like it was. wild but it was really fun but like once.

the season ends because like you kind of. like Okay We're not gonna make the. playoffs like three weeks before like. your wife or like you're like you're. planning a vacation so you're like then. you have something else to look forward. it's just it's different than right than. going in the playoffs and like hey like. hey I have an opportunity like we went. to the whole season we're one of the. what seven teams that make the playoffs. on my side of the conference like we. have a shot to win and then it gets. taken out from and then you're like damn. but like if you know you're not gonna. like it's it's just it's two different. things and I've experienced both and I.

think it's like I'd rather win a bunch. of games and then lose a heartbreaker. honestly like winning 12 to 13 games is. a lot more fun than losing 10 straight. oh yeah yeah it's like I'd rather do. that like and yes but does it suck to. lose at the end for sure it sucks a lot. but hey it's life it is what it is I'm. just gonna continue to grind and. continue to be a good football player. did you think when when Brock Purdy came. in. um what it would be like and there's a b. in here or something not B it's just a. safe animal.

oh yeah it's probably if I hit it will. Peter get mad at me huh I don't think so. I don't even know who that is. you know what I honestly doesn't. surprise me yeah it's just. it's just I'm so distracted by this oh. you got it huh. I'm gonna put that outside okay okay. that was Lefty too it's not bad somebody. said Travis Kelsey can do that with a. falcon. just saying this is what I've heard. Falcons did you see the clip on.

Instagram or the dude that hunts with a. falcon bro I've been falcon hunting. before like you and you see something. you just go wow and it's like a. superpower dude I don't know if I've. seen that that dude these guys are. driving with like a hawk or a falcon and. they're in a car they stop it or like I. think it might have been an ATV and like. they get off and they see something they. guy like starts running through the snow. and like there's a fox like 100 yards. away and he literally throws a falcon. and it's like perch on his arm ready to. jump out like it's like a swimmer diving. out and he just and you just see him.

like coast along this like snow bank and. just claws pick it up and it brings it. right back wow nuts I saw I've seen that. clip a ton of times that thing's crazy. I've never seen that I don't think I'll. send it to you yeah please do man that'd. be nice to have yeah those those clips. are have you felt like nature is metal. oh yeah oh my God so [ __ ] crazy it's. so crazy you're having like a nice. evening you know you're out [ __ ] to a. nice dinner you pick at the phone and. it's a raccoon just eating it's young. and you're like.

that page like one of the one of the. craziest things I ever saw on that page. was have you ever seen like the Moose. run through snow have you ever dude. look at a moose Jesus these guys dude I. was looking mooser massive animals oh. yeah they're very large and like there's. a clip of this thing running like 30. miles an hour just through six feet of. snow oh my god oh I'll relapse if I.

watch this too much oh. dude these things are crazy I know this. isn't the one I've seen but look there's. a white guy eating a sandwich look at. this I leave it here. oh he's oh wait oh he's about to go. yeah I think he just runs right past him. here in a sec. try that. oh we picked the worst video where it's. just a guy it's just two guys eating a. sandwich watching a moose I know here he.

comes no see this isn't the clip I think. that's a horse also oh there it goes oh. my God like what is that that's a Dodge. Ram can you imagine if he just like. chested like if you were Justified. you could take it on no really I'd cut. him I go right for his knees all right. the thing's knees and it's probably. gonna It's Gonna Knock my window give me. a concussion but I ain't going out like. that man. holy cow dude I'm take it from the side. like if I was a safety and that's the.

tight end across the middle field I'm. gonna take a creative angle and try to. hit its back two legs right at the. ankles and take it out spin it out. that's what I would do God you can't. take that thing on full that's like. tackling Derek Henry remember have you. seen people like stifferent like you. know they're just highlights of him. slapping them to the ground that's what. that would be like that's you trying to. tackle Derek Henry I would do some other. way to get him you know now what if you. put lice in your field in the grass that. God in his hair at halftime he's itching. too much you can't hold on to the ball. when that happened to you too though. true but you'd risk it I know but you.

know maybe as a defensive player I get. that oh I'd be so you just gotta think. of a new strategy who wants to go tackle. Derrick Henry oh no one that sounds off. you gotta hit him before he gets the. ball I know he gets three steps going. he's three steps in he's full speed and. then that's it's a 200 he's bigger than. I am and he plays running back wow. really so that's another thing that. blows me away like you've seen that so. like Derrick Henry plays running back. he's six foot dude he's like six four. six five 245 pounds oh my God Christian. McCaffrey plays running back and he's 5.

10. like 210 pounds like they play the same. position or how about Robbie Gold's a. kicker he's 40 years old and then you. have guys like Trent Williams and they. play the same sport those comparison. photos always like freak me out you have. like you have the six foot six guys who. could you know kill somebody easily and. then you have the data for who's just. kicking footballs yeah he's just hunting. yeah just like how different everybody. is in the NFL it's like the it's the. biggest Melting Pot it's crazy that is.

probably pretty wild hot and then you. also have a lot of Samoan players people. don't even realize huh do you guys have. a lot of Hawaiian or Samoan players. um we I've had them on my team in the. past like we have a Tongan uh oh wow. yeah Tao no hafanga we just call him. Hoff he was the first female pro this. year he had a great season in his second. year but like yeah he throws it whenever. he makes a big play he throws the T out. it's awesome dude it's so sick so cool. he has he just he's it's just a. different energy and people are wired. differently and I I that's what I love. about the NFL you learn so much about it. really yeah well like think about like.

you have people who come from great. family backgrounds people come from. terrible family backgrounds you have. people who were all Americans in college. and people who are undrafted free agents. got cut by their first couple teams you. have guys who are first-round traffic. that's had success uh you have Mr. relevant uh Brock Purdy like everybody. has like such a different story the last. pick yeah last pick Mr relevant so like. this is the crazy like if you just if. you just take the time to listen to. Somebody talk and like you understand. them like and you're just open about it. dude it's the amount of stuff you can. learn from people is amazing like it's.

it's really fun just to sit and talk to. guys What's the culture like over there. at with the 49ers it's amazing yeah it's. it's incredible I hear that this is a. regular fan you hear that they have a. really great culture over there that. John Lynch right is the guy so yeah. Lynch and uh coach Shanahan they've. brought in a lot of really good guys but. like real what it was was like I had a. really good rookie class. um and like we were like we had a great. rookie class and a lot of our rookies. were on the team but like wow and we. added some really good vet like Joe. Staley uh Garrett Selica those are two.

vets that we had that were amazing. people. um and they knew how to play the game. the right way but they were both like. Father figures to a lot of the guys like. young because like I said we had like 25. rookies yeah so we had a lot of young. guys and so they're all learning from. like these guys so we had good vets so. guys learn like what matters and how to. treat people with respect and and so. like because you'd be surprised that's. not a thing that's taught everywhere. treating people with respect it's kind. of crazy yeah but like in a locker room. you kind of have to. um because you're working with them. every single day but like so we have a. we have a saw group of guys and it's. kind of elevated like so our best. players our captains are all very high.

character guys and so like you either. with us or you're not and so you better. be a good person do yourself that you're. supposed to do and then play and so like. that's kind of our culture and it's it's. gone and we work really hard we hit. people really hard and hey we're very. violent football team but we still have. a good time is it a pretty selfless. environment over there does it feel like. because because like you don't even get. a ton of balls right like you don't get. a ton of balls but you have but you have. a lot of great assets on your team and. there's a lot of people that need to get.

the ball yeah like so it's a point of. like everybody you want individual. success like I would love to be in the. Hall of Fame right. um and so but like to do that you do. need a certain amount of Statistics to. get there right so there's a there's a. certain type of selfishness like you. because there is like you wanna you. wanna be good you wanna make huge plays. you wanna you wanna play you want to do. stuff right. um so what's awesome about our team is. like we all like whether it's Debo. um Christian McCaffrey Kyle use check. ayuk's fantastic I love ayuk he's he's.

just a different energy like you have. these guys like they are they're. selfless it's like if we're winning the. game and and like they're playing too. like they're playing at Highway they're. running great routes they're you know. blocking at a high level too but like. they're doing everything we're doing. everything we can so like whether it's. Chris McCaffrey or other running back. like Elijah Mitchell like to get them. into the end zone that's all I care. about like us winning games is all I. care about and so like yes I love the. personal accolades like you you want to. build that resume but I mean I would I I. would trade about yeah I mean I would.

I'd rather win a Super Bowl than I think. this is an argument I've had in the. locker before like would you rather win. a Super Bowl or be in the Hall of Fame. I think it would have to be the Super. Bowl as a fan I don't know who's in the. Hall of Fame that's right I mean I'd. rather run a Super Bowl than me in the. Hall of Fame now being a boat like both. would be amazing but like if I had to. pick one like hey George you would. rather win this or do that I'd pick on a. Super Bowl 10 out of 10 times do you. think there are players that would. rather get the ball more than win the. game. there are.

not on your team even though I'm sure. I'm trying to think like I think there. are certain players that like you have. to have the mindset that when like when. you get the ball like the more like. you have to have a mindset like when I. get the ball dude it looks [ __ ] scary. oh dude it's not for everybody and it is. what it is who me the ball dude I throw. it back nope honestly yeah hey yeah not. me not me yeah no not me dude I do a. timeout yeah I feel like you just toss. them a lot of bounds like nah flip coach. my bad just drop it I'm good no but um I.

think wow that's a good question. um there might be some guys that are. like Morse like stat hungry maybe but. they're not in our team I've never. really been with a guy that was like. that which has been awesome. um but like and there's there's guys who. have contracts who are like hey if I get. 40 catches this season I get a bonus. right like we had a guy who. um we had a guy who he he was a backup. right but he's resigned because his. rookie deal is over and he had an.

incentive in there that was if he got. over he had to break his receiving yards. from last year and he only had like 150. receiving yards but he doesn't play a. lot on offense he's a special teams guy. and and by like week five he broke it. and it was amazing because he got he got. like a multiple hundred thousand dollar. bonus because of it and so like yeah. like there is a selfishness to it. because who doesn't want to get paid an. extra 250 000 or something like that. whatever it was I'm not entirely sure. but like that's awesome like good for. you and like I'm encouraging like hey. Jimmy throwing the ball Brock Trey throw.

that guy the ball so it's just like. that's pretty fun like so like when it. is like so there's there's selflessness. but there's also a selfishness to it to. an extent right but I'm lucky to be on a. part of a team that hey like Debo's a. superstar he's fantastic and he had a. gamer he had like 20 or he had 20. receiving yards and 20 rushing yards we. won by two touchdowns he's like I don't. care he's like we're winning I have. another option like we have another. opportunity to play next week like it is. what it is and he goes and I'll be right.

when I get my opportunity I'll be ready. for it yeah and then you like we had a. playoff game he had a 74 yard touch here. and he had 120 yards receiving a. touchdown player of the game it's just. like we have those guys capable on our. team but we have six of those guys or. seven of those guys they're capable and. then it's just it's fun to be a part of. a team like that yeah because it's not. everywhere was McCaffrey pretty excited. when he got to go to your team yeah I. think he was yeah I mean just have a. change of pace I'm sure is exciting for. anyone yeah and also you're getting good. go to a team that has a chance to move. forward in the for sure and like he. talking to Christian like he loved.

Caroline he loved his experience he has. a house here like that's where he. thought he was going to be for his whole. career and they traded them and I'm. getting to come to San Francisco where. especially it was fun too because I met. Christian like uh 2018 2019 and so we've. kind of been talking about like hey it'd. be really fun to like play together. because oh that's cool we run the hell. out of the football he's a really. talented running back right and so we've. always kind of joked about that he. actually sent me a photo it was pretty. funny we traded jerseys in 2019 and at. the bottom of my jersey I said see you. soon. now he's a Niner which is pretty sick.

um you got to speak things into. existence Theo it's really true man I'll. we'll talk about that next we've got to. come back to that because I like that. stuff really I'm big into that but you. gotta um. so sorry but like he came to this. offense that we run outside Zone like a. lot of guys like a lot of offices you. kind of see big guys waddle we're. running as fast as we possibly can to. try to make the like we're trying to. move the line of scrimmage that way. while also moving it that way or that. way so it's like it's a lot more. movement and it's if you're a good. running back and you can see those Lanes.

it's a lot easier to run it's like it's. more difficult to run that way you have. to have the opposite line and like. Titans that are built for that but when. you have an o-line tied in fullback like. combo that is talented and like and. Shanahan's very good at creating plays. we're one of like the best run offenses. in football and so like for him to be a. running back in that offense it's a. really good opportunity it's exciting. yeah I felt excited when he got because. even after your quarterback went out in. the in the championship game yeah he had. a great run right after that right oh. yeah the touchdown that was insane I.

mean that was Herculean dude and so that. was like so exciting it was 18 Wham it. was 18 Wham yeah I I down block on the. defensive tackle which happened to be. Fletcher Cox big he's a big big deal. he's a big dude he's he's large God and. sometimes when you push in a large man. do you feel their stomach or where do. you put your hands on them oh God like. the only way to move big people you have. to hit them and you have to hit people. in the hip that's how you make a move oh. that's like when I'm blocking so like I. don't know do you know what you have any. idea what Gap scheme is. um you ever run power It's called Power.

the Titan everyone blocks down and you. pull a guard from the opposite side to. kick somebody out so it's called Gap. scheme It's called Power right but on. that the entire coaching point is if. there's. all right real quick if I'm the right. tight end yeah and this is the offensive. tackle like this is the off attack right. here and we're going that way. and there's a guy standing right here. I'm aiming Mike my sh my left shoulder. pad is aimed on his hip because if I can. hit that hip his feet will move and then. the right tackle will pick him up and. he'll move him for me while I go up to. the linebacker to pin it so you're. creating a wall and the running back's.

gonna be right behind us and so like my. target is that hip and I'm trying to hit. as violently and as like hard as I. possibly can because it doesn't matter. if you're 200 pounds or if you're 300. pounds if I get you in that hip it moves. your base and then if you're off your. base and getting hit by another big guy. you're screwed right and if it's that. fast and it's that fast and like they. don't know that place coming too it's. like that's where my advantage is and so. I have to like I'm like a coiled spring. as soon as they say and I'm diving. through that guy's hip to go up to the. second level so yeah I'm sorry gapsing. that's my run game so I love the Run.

game yeah because we were talking about. like. I don't get the ball every play and I. don't want the ball every play I like I. like getting the ball it's fun to catch. the ball it's fun to run it like you. like running with a football in open. space and not getting hit is one of the. coolest things you can possibly do as a. human being what do you feel like just. driving real fast dude I have a smile on. my face I'm just like this is like it's. because it doesn't happen very often. it's hard to get that open in the NFL. because everyone's such good athletes. but when you're just running through the. space man it doesn't feel like it's. illegal yes like I feel like I'm a kid. who just like I just stole something I'm. just running as fast as I can and it's.

it's such a it's such a thrilling. feeling but so I don't get to do that. all the time so like running routes is. fun but when you don't get the ball. running routes isn't really fun because. I just get tired and so when you're in. the Run game and the whole thing is like. it depends on me like the running backs. to help me he has to set me up but like. I have to hit this guy as hard as I can. and then there's all these fundamentals. whether it's your first step your second. step your inside hand where your outside. hand goes but like there's just art to. it and people that are really good at it. you see their technique and like what it. looks like and it's just it's really fun.

for me I watch a lot of I like I love. watch off the line like run the football. and like hit people so like there's this. artwork to it so like I put I like I'm. the best friend blocking I've run. blocking tied in the NFL I do it. differently than anybody else does and. I've been doing it differently for like. my entire career and I like my first. year maybe not so much but like second. year on I kind of like figured out what. works for me and so. I I put as much effort as I can to that. so then what's great about the timing. position I can affect every single play. I can I can have a huge impact on every.

single play in the football game like a. wide receiver who's on the back side of. an outside Zone going away from him if. he doesn't block the corner it might not. be a big deal every play that I'm in on. I have uh I have the opportunity to have. a huge impact whether it's Run play or a. pass play so like I love playing tight. end because I have the opportunity and. because I get to do all those things I'm. gonna do everything I can to be great at. all those things whether it's pass. blocking run blocking or running routes. and catching so like I'm the only. position that you really get to do. everything like we had to tied and throw. touch on a Super Bowl a couple years ago. the Eagles guy.

um but like you got to do a little bit. of everything and I really appreciate. that so like I don't want to be an. average rum blocking tight end like I'm. 240 pounds like I'm not like there's. tight ends are like Mercedes Lewis is. six foot six seven he's like 265. that. man he manhandles people and it's. different like we do two different like. we hit people differently but like I'm. like I want to be and he is a very good. Titan he's played for he's going to 18. he's fantastic I'm just like. I want to be great at everything that. I'm asked to do so then I don't have to. get taken out for anything I want to.

play every single thing you don't play. every snap I do play every snap yeah I. mean I played the most apps in my career. this year did you really yeah of my. career and I missed the first two games. which was crazy that's a lot of snaps. yeah I played like yeah I mean I played. like 98 of the snaps every single game. that's incredible man oh dude it's well. like I said your window's only so big so. like you might as well make the most. your window yeah I like and also I only. get to hit people for 17 weeks so yeah. like I don't get I don't get anybody I. have a huge blocking sled at my house so. I'm gonna hit I can't wait to hit that. tomorrow and when you dress it up like.

certain players or anything no that's a. good question though that's fun I have. thought about that but no I don't know. who I would I don't know how I'd set up. it like there's not I don't really not. like very many people in the NFL there's. a couple guys that you know I don't care. about or. um I might not care for there's not too. many games like completely Circle a. calendar there's a couple just like. based on the player that I get to go. against but I don't have that issue very. much which I like everybody yeah like. what's one of those teams where you're. like I'm going against this team this. week. um the Rams that's a big one for us like.

because they play us they play us the. exact same way every time and then at. the end of the day they have Aaron. Donald who's I mean oh yeah yeah besides. Trent wearing sorry Trent Williams and. Aaron Donald are the two best football. players in the NFL not even close like I. mean sorry Patrick homes is really good. like Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady like there. are other good players but like for. dominance at their position every single. snap Trev Williams Aaron Donald and Nick. Bose is getting there too he's gonna be. really good but like Aaron Donald like. eight time all pro like that's insane. yeah his whole career is he's all pro.

but so when you play the Rams you have. the game plan for Aaron Donald because. if you only put one guy on him the. likelihood of him blowing up the play. and hitting the running back or the. quarterback in the backfield and making. them fumble significantly increases so. you have to so you have to completely. game plan for him you gotta plan for him. hugely yeah hugely and um so we have to. plan for him like huge and then. um. sorry so like and then like the way they. play their defenses they just try to. bottleneck us as much as they can so it. makes our outside Zone a little bit more. difficult. um and then they kind of played in this.

like kind of a quarters thing where like. they keep everything in front of like. it's kind of Bend but don't break like. you can give up some small stuff but. you're not getting anything past this. and then they're gonna be very violent. they're going to come up in the Run game. um and so it's just like playing a team. like that where they're so like I'm in. my three-point stance you know and line. of scrimmage is like right here oh yeah. they have an outside linebacker who's. wider than you are and like a tilted. stance and a sprinter stance and the. second we say hike he's trying to run. through my face as fast he can that way. to not let me reach him.

and they're like not every team does. that but it's very difficult to go. against because at that point it's just. kind of me saying all right who's gonna. hit who harder. every time every time. and like we've like and like there's. different ways like we you we sometimes. put a guy in motion and we'll like we'll. double team that guy because like having. to hit somebody an anchor I think is. easier than having to hit somebody and. then move because if I anchor the window. doesn't everybody runs into my back. feels like so if like if I go to block. you and the offensive Line's coming this. way and I stop my feet I'm gonna get ran.

up on someone's gonna go through my legs. so like I have to hit you and then keep. my feet running so I'm running like the. people behind me are also moving people. towards me like if you're at the point. of attack you have to run and his job is. to not let me run damn it's wild so but. the Rams do a really good job of that. if you you do you think say if you coach. you coached me you trained me right yeah. ultimate training ultimate coaching do. you think I could play you know no. in the NFL or like pickleball pickleball. I think you'd be really good at you.

pickleball come on man dude we have a. lot of guys that play it I love that. game what about in maybe the usfl. like what position you want dog huh I'm. saying anything on the field and you. were my trainer man I would never give. up you could long snap. have good lungs now but I mean you'd. have to how much do you weigh right now. probably 186 maybe four you'd have to go. to like 220. [ __ ] dude well you have to. you have to you have to hold some weight. because like in the NFL when there's a. small Long Snapper they'll just put like. a defensive lineman on them and it blows.

them up and it just crushes him oh yeah. so like there's a you have to have a. little size too at least. but you could do that I just won't have. to wake up and eat at night like in the. middle of the night like a baby dude so. in college I had a really difficult time. like I couldn't get past 225 I couldn't. do it for like three years and so in my. third year I drank eight Gatorade. protein shakes a day and like literally. I had so like let's just say I wake up. at 6am for my lift I drink a protein. shake then I get to my lift and before I.

get before I start the lift before I. start the warm up I drink another. protein shake I go through the warm-up. come in drink a protein shake before I. get on the scale this is just try to. keep my weight on uh after the lift I. drink a protein shake I take three or I. think I'm at four I think I'm at four. there I leave and then for lunch I have. a protein shake I'm in class I have a. protein shake is your truck just full of. dirty protein shaking yeah like do you. ever see the old Gatorade cans yeah like. those big thick ones no I'm lying tea. hold on hold that up look up Gatorade. protein shake can't alumin like metal.

can but I would drink those add so many. of them in my house and then I'd have. one with then right before I go to bed. and then I'd set an alarm uh if I was. really struggling if I would set alarm. for 3 A.M or no 2 A.M and then four and. I have them again yeah just to drink. them because that was the easiest thing. for me I didn't eat like I don't know. yeah that thing dude you could kill. someone with that like it was it was a. brick I didn't even seen that yeah I. think that's available to the just no to. the public it's not available anymore. but so like I literally I was insane man. I know you know or how something off.

about a product has to be that's not. available I think you have to go out of. your way well yeah that's actually weird. I didn't even know a Gatorade did. protein until I got to Iowa and I was. like oh whoa no one knew it until just. now when you told us probably every. college football athlete knew that was a. lot of places but yeah so that was uh so. you gotta have that weight on so that's. a number one thing you need to be able. to play you really have to have some. weight on you yeah to an extent like I. mean like I was like I said I was right. if I weigh 225 pounds right now I. wouldn't be in the NFL wow yeah I mean I. wouldn't be able to buy like I have to. be at least 240 for me to like be able.

to move people still to even show up. who's the big guy oh Calais Campbell huh. hi sir how are you nice to meet you his. brother is uh uh his brother's a. comedian but um so I got to meet him a. couple of times and. um but yeah he's like a generalist giant. dude he's super super nice yeah he's a. cool guy I haven't met a ton of NFL.

players but I got to see Brandon. Marshall at the Super Bowl real nice guy. he's cool too he's huge yeah he was very. tall I thought he was thick too white. coward at first dude yeah that's funny. but yeah that is like he's bigger than I. am too and he played wide receiver think. about that for a sec it's like Brandon. why do you just play tight end dude well. less money but I was like I mean you. could have probably played another. couple years why do y'all get less money. I don't know. let's figure that out you I'll call in. and you're gonna figure it out you're. doing more thank you.

I never realized that or get get this so. um Travis Kelsey this guy 1300 yards 10. 10 touchdowns a year for like the last. seven years basically but it gets more. ball thrown over than you sure but my. point is is that. if he was a wide receiver his contract. he'd be the 26th highest paid wide. receiver in the NFL does that make sense. no no he should probably be top five so. that's like I don't know he should. probably be making if like there's water. she was out there making over 25 million. dollars. that don't get his stats like why would.

he not get paid more yeah right I mean. like I was I think I was 30 NFL in. touchdowns this year and yeah I mean. there's 20 receivers that make more. money than me. no yeah no I'm happy for them I'm I'm. happy right now they're making their. money it's them no it's nothing against. them it's just like that's the tie to. Market like our franchise tag is like 10. million dollars which is like if a team. doesn't like. um Evan Ingram tied in for the. Jacksonville drivers he was franchise. tag which means like they don't want to. do a new deal yet but they're going to. give you a one-year deal and it's based.

on the average of like the top couple. contracts of your position it's like his. was 10 million dollars and then the. quarterback franchise tag is 30 million. dollars for that one season. and I get the quarterback is the most. right that's the most important position. but like wide receiver franchise tag is. I want to say like 20 something was like. are they really double the value no I. don't think so especially yeah I don't. think no I don't especially now when. you're getting all these however you. have like taste them Hill you have a. hybrid player that could possibly do it. all yeah sure like and like no now the. thing when you get and.

you you have to be great at all those. things for it to be a value of you in a. contract negotiation too right that's a. good point yeah so you have to be great. like. if you and if you can just if you can. just do several things but you do them. averagely. I'd rather have like a guy that does. this great and a guy that does this. great than having a guy that does it. both average right that's a big Point. yeah so like that's a part of it too but. it's just like is there is there a. position that we don't know that you. could possibly play on the field that. people wouldn't really realize maybe oh. dude I would love to play like outside.

linebacker in a 3-4 defense kind of like. I know I'm not gonna say like I'm not. gonna say off I'm going to be amazing at. it but I think I would have a real shot. at it if I could get up to like 260 265. maybe 270 and set an edge I think I'd do. that I'm a really good athlete and like. you don't have to run as much. which is really nice I get tired. sometimes dude oh I get tired of. watching thank you [ __ ] get water ah. dude if you ever watched I I put the. auction mask on almost after every Drive. really I don't know if it does anything. I don't know if it does anything but I.

do feel better like I'm just like ah. well even if it's a placebo effect I'm. big into Placebo effects if you believe. it that it works do it yeah is it. flavored the oxygen is it like grape ice. or anything. I'm gonna ask yeah you know next year. get some gas in there dog Riptide Rush. Gatorade I do something Glacier freeze. yeah salty caramel I don't know I'm also. named you're a sweet guy well I'm naming. vape flavors also I don't think I Vape. since College I did that for a hot sex. don't do it dude I know I know I was. listening to a couple of your podcasts.

uh [ __ ] suffering from I listen to. your Jay Cutler podcast that was fun did. you yeah I had to prepare a little bit. dog oh that's a good point man yeah Jay. kind of doesn't uh. I I can't believe Jay played quarterback. that long in the NFL I don't think Jay. can believe it. that's a good point you know it's funny. too so I'm a Bears fan I grew up in Iowa. there's no NFL team so like I grew up in. Chicago Bears fan Bears fan yeah so I. grew up Chicago Bears Cubs fan and uh. like I still like the Bears like I'm. still a fan of the Bears. um but like was it tough during the.

Cutler years. he brought a lot of excitement to it. like he really did like he would have. games where you throw for like 350 yards. and four touchdowns it was really fun to. watch a fun bearded Bears fan like. Plenty Of Heartbreakers but like yeah I. enjoy Jay color the memes of him like. having a cigarette in his mouth at the. podium like those are one of my those. are some of my favorite football memes. because because he was like he was the. first person that they made those memes. about was him with the like just. cigarettes like just smoking cigarettes. he's a regular dude he's just a regular. dude Jay Cutler's a regular dude man. like I'll see him at a bar or see him at. like a party or something and he's uh.

he's just like. you would almost yeah you wouldn't even. get I don't know if you wouldn't guess. it'd be I don't know. but yeah he's just a most regular dude. he's just like that's the crazy thing. about NFL players most of us are just. regular dudes do do there be are there. still players that smoke cigarettes you. think. like you ever been out there you're like. Jesus somebody's been [ __ ] smoking at. halftime. um I had a teammate my rookie season who. after practice and after games would. smoke cigarettes and.

yeah I I you know what I'm not going to. tell say who it is but there was we lost. my rookie year we lost in Lambeau uh. Aaron Rodgers did like a 30-second drive. to kick a field goal to win the game and. I guess when we were 0-9-2 so like we. almost win the lambo and one as like my. rookie class in it they were a much. better team than this but we somehow. kept it close and like losing that and I. had a good game too but like it was a. heartbreaker and like like I said I grew. up a Bears fans like playing in Lambo. for the first time in a night game like. it was really cool yeah it was a cool. experience like you want to win those.

games so losing and I go to the shower. and he's in there smoking a cigarette. and I was like hey man I'll take one of. those if you don't mind man hopefully I. don't get in trouble for that like I. don't know like that's probably illegal. but I'm sorry NFL don't get mad at me. but I did do that one time and it was. that was a really fun one and like one. of the coaches walked in like looked at. us and just walked out of the shower so. I was like yeah dude give us a second. man just chilling look it's. probably nude men smoking cigarettes. you're not wrong it was yeah bro it's. Russia.

let them have their moment they just. lost again will you give me a sec please. oh there should be eight minutes we. should be allowed to smoke a cigarette. after the game I think if your team. loses. um are there quarterbacks that you. wouldn't be excited to play for do you. feel like oh excited to play for well. let's just do this how about non-verbal. communication you don't have to say. anything okay I'll rattle off a couple. names right. um and what do you want me to do you. don't have to say you don't have to do. anything okay just look just look okay. I'm looking forward all right. Andy Dalton did the red rocket.

Deshawn Watson. Jim Marcus Russell. Jamarcus the tape guy remember that they. gave him fake tapes that's crazy see the. only way. it would be as a teammate. for him to do that that would piss me. off about me out that would bum me out. like I'll give anybody an opportunity. like I don't care who the like I don't. like if you if you put your effort in. and you show up and you play and like.

you did everything you could to be. prepared and you have a bad game I'm not. gonna hate you for that right if you. tried but like if you go out of your. like if you don't like try and get up. here yeah if you're not professional. it's your job like that's the crazy. thing like in college you have to do. classes and like you're a very your. testosterone field 20 year old like you. have other things in your life that. might at that time matter more than. football if you're in the NFL like yes. your family matters and like there's. certain things but like it's your job. it's your profession and you're you have. all you have 60 other guys in that.

locker room who are counting on you to. do your job oh yeah and for you to do. that yeah like I wouldn't appreciate. that so that's that's something I would. that would piss me off yeah something. like that would really upset me I think. yeah do what you're supposed to do well. like my goal is to win a Super Bowl I. like proven an NFC Championship game I. can't help much if I can't get the ball. thrown to me yeah we didn't have a. quarterback so could should somebody do. who who was the last quarterback to go. in he has lost a couple quarterbacks so. you guys lost your whole quarterbacks. all year yeah so fun fact uh I've played. six years NFL and four out of this I've.

had one quarterback for one season one. time 2019 I had Jimmy G for one season. and we went to the Super Bowl. um my rookie year we had three. quarterbacks my second year we had three. quarterbacks he had Nick Mullen one time. too love Nick Mullins yeah he's CJ. beathard yeah he is oh yeah I'm a fan. man he lives in Franklin Tennessee oh he. does yeah he's part of the reason I live. here he was one of my boys sorry we. played five years together in Iowa and. then four years together in San. Francisco she's one of my best friends. oh that's cool man it seems like a. really neat guy oh he's wonderful but he. uh so like my second year I had three. quarterbacks 2020 I had three.

quarterbacks 2021 I had two quarterbacks. in this past season I had four. quarterbacks [ __ ] your bad luck. how hard was it when like did um. or fourth quarterback was Josh by the. way great dude Joshua Josh Johnson that. was the last guy who got hurt that was. the last guy that got hurt and then so. after that who was there was there any.

talk or that somebody else could go in. there so like you like you you. tentatively game plan for like an. emergency quarterback and Kyle you check. our fullback was our emergency. quarterback but like. there's only like. he doesn't know the footwork stuff for. plays like the Playbook was like. foreplay like four to eight plays. because it's crazy because Shane coach. Shanahan Kyle Shannon he's been NFL like. I want to say like 15 to 20 years like. being a part of coaching in it and he's. never had it happen to him his dad Mike. Shanahan never never seen it because he.

can't even text his dad at halftime what. do I do like he never experienced it. either and then we have our running. backs coach he's like he's in you're. like 60 and he's never seen it either. like at any level and so it's just like. it doesn't happen often so like you're. mild and everyone's like well why aren't. you more prepared because it doesn't. happen you're not prepared but were you. guys like looking around the sideline. like who's even lean enough here to even. throw you know what I'm saying like. because at that point it's also like a. stat you can't have like the only thing. that I wanted to see just for like even. at the point because like for kicks yeah.

after after Josh got hurt like and we. were down and like it's like at that. when Josh got hurt where I think we're. only down set like we might have been. down seven or no we were down 21 to 70. excuse me when he got hurt and so at. that point you're like okay we can't. throw we like the next couple like. you're like okay we might have a shot. here but I think they went down and. scored it's 28-7 and you're just like we. can't physically throw the football and. they're just gonna put 11 people in the. Box. all right like sure like how creative. can you get I know uh Juwan Jennings one.

of our wide receivers he played at. Tennessee he was like a top five. quarterback recruit in high school which. was kind of so like maybe I wanted to. see that but like at the end of the day. like you're not gonna it's not high. school where you just put your best. athlete at quarterback or college where. you can just put a really fast guy. quarterback can you just run around the. edge and do cool stuff like. that doesn't exist in the NFL like it. just doesn't happen right there's too. many good athletes so it's like. should have been like hey if you would. have got him in and like we would have. thrown the ball he throws interception. it is what it is like right we're like. you trying every you can to not like oh. we're gonna lose this game but it's like. we the most important position we don't.

have yeah okay what's up it's like. playing chess you don't have a king oh. you lost yeah like I mean the only other. team do is the Denver Broncos during. covert they had all their quarterbacks. had coven and so he put a wide receiver. in but they had a week to prepare at. least or a couple days at least but it's. just like what are you supposed to do. yeah damn it was such a bummer man I'm. so sorry it wasn't even fun to watch no. and like hey if you're an Eagles. football player an Eagles fan probably. loved it and good like you should like I. don't even think you love it like but. like you enjoy something like that then.

you're sick too sure I wouldn't hate. that dude well like they brought they. loved winning but like winning in that. way is like it's not exciting right like. if there's nothing like there's not. really anything exciting about that no. if you're cheering then or [ __ ] yeah. it's like sure like hey you guys are. scoring like they're winning the game. and they're beating like yeah there's. not much you're beating somebody who's. like hands are tied behind their back. and like hey they won and they yeah. you're not saying no but I don't feel. you like at least it would have been an. entertaining game oh yeah if like even. if like well they should their.

quarterback out both of them that'd be. wild if they go well how about this. that's insane I shouldn't even say that. do you think it's fair that the overtime. team just goes to kick that field goal. it seems kind of lame each time. liked for the win well that rule changed. like five years ago oh it did yeah so. that good so then it went to like you. got to if you score a touchdown you. automatically win and then this past. season in the playoffs in overtime both. teams get a chance uh whether it's a. touchdown or not because you remember. the bills Chiefs game from last year and.

went back and forth and everyone's like. well if the bill like the offenses were. so high powered if the bills would have. gotten a shot they would have gone out. and scored so they changed the rule for. the playoffs if that happened that both. teams get an opportunity to add it which. was interesting to see yeah I think it's. more exciting it can make the game a. little bit longer it definitely makes it. more exciting as a fan I think I mean I. think college has overtime perfect like. just it's so much fun it's so much like. 11th overtime yeah like that's 2 A.M and. then also like for the people watching. like those touchdowns count and like. there's multiple of those so it's like a. guy could go like what was like there's.

like an LSU Ole Miss game that it was. like tied like 17 to 17 and it ended. 53-48 or something like that or 53 to 47. some [ __ ] like that but it's like a guy. in that game a wide receiver like at the. end of the game he had like five catches. for 60 yards and a touchdown at the end. of the game he had uh eight catches for. four touchdowns and a hundred yards. they're just like what where'd this come. from it's a four overtime so I think the. NFL should just start at the 35 yard. line because then if you go three now. it's still a 52-yard kick like that's. not easy right 52-yard like from the 35.

and just have him do it that way it'd be. so much fun I mean just like you're just. taking shots for touchdowns at that. point man that's so sweet it'd be sick. dude yeah that'd be a buy like dude the. stats too like fantasy football players. Fantasy Football uh guys would love that. because hey now Devonte has at the end. of overtime where he has 10 catches for. 122 touchdowns now he has 14 catches for. six touchdowns. they never even talk to their wives. anymore. do you think uh. and we'll get you out of here in a.

second. um what was you were talking about like. um. uh uh oh do you think that. um who do you think will bl's. quarterback next year. um Brock will get a fair shot at it do. you think oh yeah I mean he didn't he. hasn't lost a game yet like he got hurt. at this for like oh yeah play the game. and so like he hasn't really lost a game. yet he should get it yeah I mean so it's. also a very competitive room over there. it's a super competitive room right now. we don't tray Lance I think he he just. got clear it's like he's out throwing. and stuff again so that's awesome I'm. very happy for him like because he is a.

very he's a very special talent who has. the ability to be a very good football. player he just needs reps and that guy. he just he's young he hasn't played a. lot of football against he's reps oh. yeah so it'll be a good battle between. them. um well you'll still have him no he's a. free agent oh he's gonna leave probably. oh yeah he's out oh dang yeah so but. like what I like I think it's a um if. Brady came back would he be able to go. to y'all Or Not yeah he's a free agent. Debbie Wilde. that'd be wild huh yeah I mean he's from. the bay he is he is from the bay that's.

crazy. interesting. anyways but um Purdy I like I said like. pretty 1A games you can't like bench you. can't you can't bench him so I think. it's a it's a it's a quarterback. competition I think when you go to like. and again but I can't win a game he's. doing just even better money line every. week it's crazy but like and I and again. like he's hurt right now right so I. think he just I think he got surgery. today maybe on his UCL which is like the. ACL of your elbow I guess oh they got a.

third one now it's crazy dude wild stuff. um but so like he has to recover from. that so like it's gonna be it's gonna be. an interesting training camp to see how. the reps are split and stuff like that. it's gonna be exciting it will be. exciting and that's my entire my entire. career I've had QB controversy so let's. ride dude another year of it baby I love. it that's exciting bring it you you one. last thing for you I want to get you. were talking about like speaking things. into uh existence yeah you wanted to. bring it back that up yeah because you. kind of talked about it it's interesting. how little we like speak out into the.

world what we want yeah like how like. how often do like I'll sit and complain. in my head or think about things or. worry bro all but for years yeah but. rarely will I say this is what I [ __ ]. want yeah you know and so you're gonna. do it yeah so you're going to get it. yeah yeah like I'm big like I don't know. if you Journal very much but I got big. into that this literally like the last. 12 months I met a former player who uh. who kind of talked about how he did it. too and like just writing down like what. you expect the season to be like what. your what your goals are or writing.

about them in the past tense too that. was kind of a cool thing to like take me. give an example of that so like you. could talk about winning the Super Bowl. or you could talk about like I won the. Super Bowl yeah and you talk about. confetti fall and you talk about like. and you speak into existence like. there's a creativeness to it and so like. it's kind of why because then once you. see it and you've it's kind of like the. same as football like I do visualization. a lot so like I rep the plays in my head. and so then by the time I get to them in. practice or whether it's the game I've. already done them in my head like 10. times so when you call it play I'd have.

nothing to worry about because I've. already done it and so it's like. speaking into existence too it's like. you visualize it happening and then so. like I don't know if you speak it into. existence or you're like once the moment. comes you're ready for it what's really. interesting man it makes me think of. EMDR you know have you heard of this. maybe I don't know explain it to me can. you bring it up. foreign. so EMDR eye movement decent side. desensitization and reprocessing therapy. is a mental health treatment technique.

the method involves moving your eyes uh. goal is to help you heal from trauma or. other distress so anyway what's. interesting about EMDR is it they take. you back to times in your life right. that were traumatic for you and they you. you. you talk through with a therapist to. to put a new experience into that time. of your life yeah so then when you come. out of the the the like uh modality or. the the experience of doing EMDR the.

therapy yeah. then the past. part of your life that was hurting you. it's now filled with a different part of. your life that's positive yeah for sure. so where you are at now currently will. eventually start to feel different. because the past the apostles have been. filled in that's crazy so it's almost. like a reverse of doing that which. you're saying yeah sure like you're. creating those right in the future and. so then by the time you get to them it's. like well you're looking back on your. past you're writing into your own past. that hasn't even happened yet yeah.

you're writing your own past and saying. these things happen it's wow and like I. yeah like and I I did it every single. day for the entire season wow it's wild. and whether like whether your goals are. personally for the season whether it's. goals like whatever it is like kind of. talking about in the past tense it was. it's really weird like it's like to get. used to writing like that it's because. I've never done anything like that. before and so like that was a different. experience for me. um but you're talking about like that. type of therapy have you seen the type. of therapy that's like let's just say. you have like you go to therapy right. now and like everyone has certain.

traumas in their life and the theory I. can't remember exactly what it's called. but it's like. like so 10 year old you something. happened right and like that version of. you like that version of you like the. state that you went into like to recover. from that is still a part of your. personality and right so like whether. it's like and like how you manage with. it so like okay so let me let's just say. you're uh 10 years is bad like so like. you're a 25 year old and some bad. happens and you turn to drinking or. something like that right and whenever. something bad happens you kind of go. back to that right you go back to that.

because like that's your therapy for it. so like this goes into you've kind of. revisit you have a conversation with. that 25 year old you okay and you're. like and then you try to get them to. accept it because like you have these. different parts of you inside of you. like for these different experiences. whether it's like. um yeah like that type of experience or. like. I'm trying to explain it the best way I. can but it's like you have to have these. conversations with this old passive you. to kind of let go and like you kind of. hold on to stuff ah interesting so. you're going back to like an injured. part of you or an injured part of you.

and you're trying to help them get. through it because like you can't talk. to it like it's to say you had a bad. call unless you had a really bad. experience in college like with a coach. or something like that and they like. verbally abused you right and like that. part of you is like still there like. it's it is still there unless you you go. to therapy you talk about like if you. just kind of hold on to it that part of. you is always still kind of like this. dark anger and so you have to kind of go. back there and talk to them and like. talk to that 18 year old self right like. almost making amends yeah with your old. or like guiding them to the light maybe. sort of Beats but like just kind of let. go of that anger because if you never.

talk to it just kind of hold it on like. you can push stuff down for so long but. like at some point you gotta address it. yeah it says trauma can freeze your. emotional response at the age you. experienced it when you feel or act. emotionally younger than your actual age. as is known as age regression well it's. even the same as almost EMDR it's like. going back into a specific that's what. reminded me of it and I was like because. I know my dad talked to me about that. it's like a type of therapy you can do. like to overcome like traumatizing. events that happen to you and as it was. a very like I thought about it I was. like that actually makes sense to me. well your dad is really interesting man.

I've seen some of the episodes where. he's like doing. um. hidden pearls you said it's called where. he'll do like he's like doing uh his. mindful Mondays right yeah mindful are. just like kind of like taking you. through an experience. um you can just see how it's part of his. uh you guys's whole world all that stuff. he's big into that like breathing. visualizing. um it just it helps dude like when you. just can take a second to yourself and. like just kind of breathe and like just. be one with whether it's your breath or. just like your own thoughts or something. like that because most of the time like.

we're all oh man so scattered we're like. this you're on your phone you're. watching TV you're looking at opinions. of other people but like not too often. are you just kind of sitting there like. ah like just having that conversation. with yourself because you kind of need. to man like if you if you if you don't. like then you're not really progressing. as a human you're just kind of absorbing. everyone else's information and then. like is that who you are these days or. do you want to be your own person. and it's what's really interesting. George is that they've created it's so. hard it's so addictive they've mastered.

the uh the uh our attention social media. is amazing they've mastered the art of. taking our attention it's incredible. like Tick Tock videos man you can go to. Rabbit Hole for two hours and not even. blink oh you don't even know who you are. you come out your [ __ ] child's in the. Middle School yeah I'm like what just. happened like where is going on well. it's funny I was watching uh Chris. Rock's new special last night I haven't. seen it yet is it good it is cool man I. I didn't watch all of it but he's he. talks about your attention that's the. number one thing that um that people are. after these days yeah that sounds about.

as your attention whatever you put your. attention into is how your life changes. I know so it's funny when I think of my. when I think in my head that like I'm. always a. constantly overwhelmed by different. thoughts and I feel sporadic and I can't. keep uh my attention span on anything. but then when I look at what a a tick. tock is it's literally what. oh this is just a thing of what I am. it's wild it's just like a bunch of. thoughts everything seems kind of. disorganized it's all in one place but. it's [ __ ] feels I mean if you saw.

Tick Tock you would give it. a antidepressant yeah dude it's knots. Tick Tock like this this is how social. media like in captures you like I mean. my wife always yells at me like I'll go. sit on the toilet and oh you won't come. back dude you're 30 minutes later like. what just happened. oh my God where was it why are my legs. asleep what has happened like what. goodness gracious but she's like you can. just get lost in those things so like I. refuse to get an Apple Watch because why. do I need to fall on my wrist if I have. one in my pocket oh it's crazy it's.

crazy how about somebody have a fight. the other day with their son on an Apple. Watch through texting or something it. took them like an hour and a half to. even have the fight and it was a guy. I've seen guys on my team that wear. Apple watches out to like walk through. practices and like you're not at home. you're not like it's like it's just. learning like plays and stuff like. they'll have it on like I'll be in the. huddling guy next like he'll be like you. know I'll heal vibration he'll look I'm. like what do you like are you on your. phone at a walk through like what are. you doing he goes uh I just it tracks my. heart rate why do you need to track your. heart rate right now dude you're jogging.

like relax like take your Apple out. watch off disconnect for a little bit. it's okay like see I I have a calculator. on my watch oh you got that old school. Amazon I love it they have it on there. yeah dude so get this this was 30 I. bought on Amazon and like I I've worn. the entire season I love it I like kind. of I talked about like on a podcast one. time I went back to Amazon to buy. another one because I forgot I thought I. lost this one eighty dollars so I don't. know if I'm just hyping them up for some. reason or something like that but yeah. 80 so it's 80 bucks but still like.

that's a pretty good price for a gold. watch yeah it is but still I feel like. it almost seems sometimes I feel like it. knows what you've been shopping for if. you shop for something expensive. recently it will make tickets more. expensive for you for things I mean like. I'll talk you'll talk about hey I need. deodorant and seven dollars I scroll. through I scroll through Instagram and. the third there's an ad and it's for Old. Spice I'm like yeah what the heck I. talked about this 10 minutes ago why is. there it's just listening dog or if you. even think about killing your cousin or.

something and the [ __ ] next thing you. know is just all hammers. dude it's crazy even having an apple. watches so it's like it'll tell you now. like you just coughed and here said the. dude's like oh I just coughed you know. they're just like you needed a yeah do. you need DayQuil launch belch in 30. seconds yeah it's dude it's nuts man. it's too much man yeah cause I like War. I wore one I didn't get an Apple Watch. but I wear the Garmin watch that like. tracks a lot of your stuff and like like. a lot of triathlon Runners running. because like they have to know all their. stuff all the time and I was like after. a while I was like you know what the.

only thing I really care about is like I. like seeing my sleep so like I have that. the aura ring stuff and I like seeing my. sleep because I either there's like it. tells you how long you slept it tells. you how well you slept and right so this. is my mind so like whether if I get like. green in one of those areas. hey I'm gonna have a good day because. whether let's say I got seven hours of. sleep and that's red but I. 90 of those super good deep sleep. healthy you're like okay I'm gonna have. a great day today or if they're both in. the red my mindset is now all right I.

didn't give myself a good advantage. today so I gotta try a little bit harder. today because it's gonna be a harder day. because I didn't sleep well and I didn't. get a lot of hours and so like that's. like people are like well I don't like. to see them like why it's just another. challenge that you get to accomplish. today well that's it I mean I think that. almost sums up just your entire approach. man you're lucky that you are not lucky. I mean obviously you know a lot of it. comes from your own family experience. and. so maybe some of your parents and stuff. but because a lot of people I get that. number I'd see that 60 out of 100 or. whatever. [ __ ] I'd start texting [ __ ] you to.

everybody right out of the gate you know. and I'd even text myself [ __ ] you I feel. you no I know I don't know but then I. would let it ruin me as opposed to me. saying okay today's gonna be a little. bit more of a challenge it's an uphill. challenge guys it's uphill boy it's like. well like so I mean when you're in like. like right now I'm in the off season. right so like one my competitive my. competitive switch is much lower than. when I'm in season. um but like when you're in season and. it's a Tuesday night and I have to wake. up and I have like I have six hours of.

meetings before I go do a walk through. and then I have to go do a practice of. plays that I learned at 8 A.M that. morning and I have to study those plays. before practice like those six hours. like. I can't be off right like that's I can't. be like I can't let my guy I can't let. the guy next to me down and I'm my. expectation for him is that he's. whenever he can to be as prepared as he. can so like you don't have enough you. don't have an option to be off and so. like that's how I that so you have to. find different ways to encourage. yourself and so hey hey I slept eight. hours and it's good I'm gonna have a. great day today or if it's one's bad.

one's good hey one of them's green I'm. gonna be great and the last one's like. all right well I'm just gonna kick my. own ass today like bring it and like. it's like that's that's what my mindset. has to be now off season yeah I might. [ __ ] and moan a little bit more but. like it is what it is like I only have. so many off days as like I only have so. many days anyways so like I'm gonna I'm. just gonna keep going yeah I think you. got to give yourself some breaks here. and there I mean even if you don't even. if you have a job that doesn't really. even allow that many you know and you. know you're gonna take them when you can. get them it's a high con it's a high. competition level you're in it's a high.

competition uh profession yeah you got. to take them when you can get them man. well I'm gonna. um say thank you for coming. and I appreciate it dude and it it's uh. it's a it's been exciting just to hear. about just some of your thoughts and get. to know you a little bit better and um. yeah I'm so happy for you and your. success thank you and oh tell us about. tiny and you I wanted to hear about it. oh yeah because last year I heard tying. you was going on right and I [ __ ]. wanted to meet everybody like Jeremy.

Fame health and they have an event and. it's at the 12 30 club and it's there. again this year but this is funny so. they were auctioning off footballs and. there's like I think there was like six. to ten NFL guys that were there but uh. one of the footballs I got auctioned off. he bought it and it was signed by. um Eddie George and George Kittle oh. cool probably the only football ever. signed by us too but the fact that his. last name is my first name I just you.

don't see that very often but I thought. that was pretty funny but yeah I met him. at that event it was pretty funny yeah. that's in that's I guess that's kind of. interesting I guess but this is an. excite you too yeah. I mean I just George is in a very common. name so when I see other people with it. it excites me I guess that's true and. that's very fair actually and I. shouldn't have said that thank you I. feel bad about myself yeah I don't want. to do this anymore will you guys cover. the entire thing but is Joe George still. of hop George isn't that popular of a. name anymore is it no it's old.

everyone's like when I was George when I. was eight years old I was like you're an. old man no I'm not I'm a real boy. people were like [ __ ] old people yeah. I'm like leave me alone I'm not 50 yeah. I'm in hospice. George is most popular in the western. industry is ranked in the top 200 most. popular names since its origin origin I. believe that both of my great grandpas. were named George and that's why I named. George tough my parents told me if I was. a girl they would have named me Georgia. I don't think that's a very good name.

nothing against those people out there. named Georgia just not for me yeah I. feel your Eddie Georgia that's insane oh. dude's got two first names. um George Kettleman best of luck in your. next season man enjoy your time welcome. back home and uh and enjoy your time.
