Saw all those things as we flew. Far out here. Seattle even further way up there. They potentially all the way back to building another dynasty as well. How is this the Legion of Boom era with Mike McDonald as the head coach? Who knows? All I know is there will be a lot of chatter with a lot of people not about this game, mostly about products that they're trying to sell to us here at Radio Row. This Radio Row experience is the Super Bowl.
1:45We are so incredibly lucky to be back. The crew that built our set is outrageous. We think the guest lineup is about to be outstanding. And whenever you think about Super Bowl, you think about the Radio Row experience, and we're lucky to be back. It's not just me, obviously. It's all of the boys. The toxic table is here at Boston Corner and at Ty Schmidt. Ty, great to be back at Super Bowl Radio Row. Woke up feeling different today. Yeah, I agree. You know, and part of that might be the earlier start because, you know, we are on West Coast time. And it kind of jolts you a little bit. But like you said, you know, everyone's saying San Francisco's this, San Francisco's that.
2:17This place might be kind of a dump. What a pleasant walk it was down here this morning. I mean, you know, no snow to be seen, no sub-zero temperature. Wow. And, you know, I'm just excited. I feel like San Francisco is a beautiful host city for this, and I'm ready to go. Tell me about San Francisco a little bit, because obviously right behind me here, you have the Golden Gate Bridge. That's right. And this Golden Gate Bridge, obviously a symbol of the area, a symbol of the city, symbol of the bay. But the city is also a symbol of courage, I think, as a whole. Is it not, Ty? Yeah, you could say that.
2:47I mean, the Golden Gate is probably what everyone knows it for. You know, Irving Morrow obviously designed it. It's your typical 1.7-mile suspension bridge. But it does, you know, it spans the Golden Gate, you know, that mile gap from the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. So a lot of new beginnings. And, you know, for these two teams, some new beginnings as well. Oh, isn't that just a nice little metaphor for where we're at? Speaking of new beginnings, it sounds like, you know, just like the old days, a little trip of nostalgia potentially for you, Patriots fans. I was talking to Connor in the bathroom.
3:17A little bit of a haul from here. A little bit. A little bit of a haul from here. Nice, though. Three-minute break. Oh, yeah, the little piss corner. Saw Golik outside the bathroom. No kidding. Really? I saw some others. I mean, the big one. Oh, senior. He's a veteran. He's a veteran. Senior, he was amazing. But as he was running the bathroom all the way down there, Conor was in at the same time. Bathroom so big, didn't know Conor was in there until we met at the sink to wash our hands. Not everybody was washing their hands. I'd like to say, shout out to Conor. Clearly stopped to wash his hands while I was doing the same.
3:44A lot of interactions. He tells me, hey, this feels like it's 2000 what? 2014, Pat. And what were you? When were you? I was a freshman in college. It was a wonderful year. You know, it was one of those years you remember. It's your freshman year. You know, you've heard about college your whole life. And the Patriots happened to go and play the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. And, you know, it was kind of a similar situation. Seahawks, legendary defense, Legion of Boom. At least they won something before being called a legendary defense. But still, I mean, one of the best ever in the NFL. And, you know, sure, maybe we were technically underage, drinking-wise.
4:16Because freshman in college, you're not 21 yet. 18, 19. You did five years of high school still. Exactly. I was damn near there freshman year. But still, I hadn't hit the threshold. We had to be real quiet for the whole game. But, boy, it was one of those games you watch every single play. It was one of those ones you remember damn near every single play. You know, we always talk about Malcolm Butler. Dante Hightower making the tackle on Marshawn Lynch at the one-yard line right before it. I mean, the kind of plays you're starting to remember. And it feels like that right now. And I just can't believe that I get to live out the fan dream of flying out here with you guys, doing this, and then actually talking about your teams for a couple days.
4:48Like even you just mentioned, a 23-year-old quarterback, Mike Vrabel, first year. I mean, the future is so bright. But, I mean, hey, we're already here. How many Super Bowls in your college years? We went to three. And we, the team, and myself. I went to none. But I watched three while in college. It was this one, Patriots. Where did you go to college at? Was it New York? Fairfield University. It's a fantastic place in Connecticut. I believe the women's basketball team actually is flying up the rankings right now. The Stags, obviously. Yeah, fantastic. Thank you very much. But it's a New England school.
5:16Yeah, it's a New England school in Connecticut. and so kind of not really New England, but still, you get it. Either way, erroneous. Freshman year. A revolution state. Yeah, exactly. Patriots, Seahawks. Second year, sophomore year, ended up being Broncos in Carolina. Weird year for us, losing in the AFC Championship. But then, you know, third year, Atlanta versus New England. Basically one of the best Super Bowls ever. Greatest comeback ever. And then senior year, Eagles, unfortunately. But still, fantastic, remarkable run. Could be started with a new one now. Congrats on having a hell of a run one time and then potentially again, maybe this Sunday as an underdog winner of the Super Bowl.
5:50The world would certainly react in a wild way if the Patriots were able to beat this Seahawks team, favored by four and a half basically the last week and a half since the game has been decided. Let's go to one half of the hammer. Done. Cowboys, great hair. Super Bowl hair. Can't wear a cowboy hat with this. What is the line, Sam? How many people are on the Seahawks? How many people are on the Patriots? Have we moved at all? What's kind of the story behind the gambling of the game? We have been dead set at four and a half now since basically it opened, and it opened with 75 % of the people being on the Seahawks.
6:22And we talked about how that was recency bias, how good they've looked in the playoff versus the Patriots who've had to play in some conditions. Hasn't been as impressive looking because of the weather potentially. So a lot of people on the Seahawks early. Now people starting to do some actual research, people watching film, people seeing other people's takes. It's come down to 64 % now on the Seahawks. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That seems like a little bit of a change from last week. Yeah, and I think you see a lot of the things like the last 18 years, dogs are 14-4 against the spread. Dogs have covered five straight, and they've won four of those, four of the last five the dogs have.
6:55So stuff like that comes out, and people are like, oh, maybe this is going to be a lot closer than we originally expected. Yeah, Mike Vrabel getting blown out in the Super Bowl. I don't know. I guess we just saw it with Andy Reid and the boys last year, so maybe people have a topic of conversation on their mind that it could happen. You know, Deebo, what I realized, ladies and gentlemen, Nine-year NFL vet. Hosts everything DB. Good D, bad D. One of the smartest minds in history of ball. Also host of NFL matchups on ESPN, Diocho. Ladies and gentlemen, Darius Sheffield. Hey, B. B. B. B. B. B. B.
7:20B. B. B. B. B. B. boys. Yeah. Great call and agree. Right. Celebrating out here. Chasing the gold. That's right. Exactly. Chasing the gold. There it is. That's a real gold. There it is. What do you three know? Chasing the gold. Hey, I talked to some people outside the football sphere, and they said they don't really know anybody in this game, you know, because in the past, obviously, the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, obviously, Taylor Swift. Last year, you got Saquon Barkley, Bradley Cooper. You know, he's still doing the commercials, but there was, like, a little bit of star hype for outside the football world.
7:48Yeah. This year, what I think they're going to learn is defenses are about to really showcase themselves I think on the biggest stage. What do you think that means for ball as a whole? Absolutely. That's always a beautiful thing. We got a defensive matchup on both sides when it come to head coaches. But this is kind of what you make when you turn yourself into a superstar. I think both of these quarterbacks have an opportunity to have the stage to do so. 23-year-old Drake Mayhew. I love every ounce of success that he's having. Not only because he's with my original squad. Of course. Congrats. Mr.
8:15Kraft. You know. Are you officially? Yeah. It's another season. We're in Super Bowl. We're talking about the game right now. That's next year. I was asking him about an official bandwagon right there. That's what I was asking for those that didn't know. But I've been on the Drake May bandwagon from day one. And a lot of people are forgetting, like, this is a legit MVP candidate. Like, he could win that MVP when the honors show comes. And he's earned that. And you talked about the weather and the elements, the great pass, the great defenses that they have played throughout this playoff run. A lot of people have forgot, I think.
8:44And then you got, you know, Josh Bidane on his ear. So I can't wait for this stage. And then Sam Darnold. He has the opportunity, too, to completely change his narrative And to be the first quarterback from that great quarterback class to make it to the Super Bowl and can actually win it with great defenses on both sides, I can't wait. Yeah, I'm excited to watch the game. I'm excited for people that, you know, have no idea what the season has been outside the football world who only watch one game being the Super Bowl, being like, damn, I didn't know this is what's happened to the NFL because it does feel like a vast change.
9:09Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, a college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner, the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers. Ladies and gentlemen, a man who loves San Francisco, A.J. Hawk. A.J. Hawk. Hawk. Hawk. Welcome home. Welcome home. AJ Hawk. AJ Hawk. AJ Hawk. All right, AJ Hawk. I don't know why we did that. I was excited to do that. AJ, TH, nice to see you in the middle of what we're all kind of got going on here in San Francisco. Your thoughts on this particular Super Bowl and where we kind of sit on this particular Wednesday. Yeah, I mean, I think, I'm not going to lie, Pat, it's been tough ever since Joe Flacco has been staying at the podium.
9:47I can't. We're wasting his time. We're wasting his time. He's six foot nine. I was there in person when he actually torched the Pittsburgh Steelers defense on a Thursday night in Cincinnati this year. So, Joe, my kids love that game. That was very fun. But I don't know if Joe wants to step to the mic because Mitt's done a great job actually wrangling it already five minutes into the first show. First guest of the week. First guest of the week. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Flacco. Yeah, Joe! Hey, Joe, we appreciate the hell out of you joining us, man. Okay. So, you were just getting bopped around the AFC North.
10:20Okay. How did that go personally? How did that go mindset-wise? And how exciting has it been to kind of get a chance to continue to showcase and showcase how you play ball? I think you have mixed feelings about it originally, but when you're given the chance to go play, especially with those guys, you'll sign up every day. So it was a lot of fun. Okay. Are you feeling younger than ever because you're looking crazy? Glowing. Wow. Yeah. Great. Shining. Yeah, because I think we have like a lighting set up here now. We've got a podium here too. Shout out to Barcode and to Mystic. so it kind of gets you in the right spot.
10:52Good lighting on you right now. I don't think they were ready to light a 6 '10". No, at least not. I don't think they were ready to do that, but you look phenomenal. How does the body feel? I mean, I hate to just ask it that all the time, but how does the body feel at this stage of ball, and what is your mindset as you attack the offseason here? I have no idea. I mean, nobody – what's a 41-year-old feel like versus a 25-year-old? I have no idea. I feel like myself, so feeling good. Who are you here for? Are you selling anything sweet right now, or are you just kind of doing it? I'm here with the Caddx crew, man, just pumping the cleats.
11:22Twisty news. Yeah. The movers. We're still believers. Okay, so every once in a while there's things like this that are considered a... Gamut. Yeah, fat. Bit of a gamut, yeah. Bullshit. Yeah. We've all seen them. We had the balancing. Puka actually brought up a suit of the last year. The balancing band. The necklace. The weights on the toes. The copper stuff. Treadsuits. All those things work. The thing that made you... The Guardian cap. Whoa! Who said that? Whoa. Whoa. You said it. That's Joe Flacco. No. You said it. He hates player safety. This is legit man. I mean listen why if you can wear a cleat and it reacts like every other cleat but it reduces a little bit of torque on your knees and your hips and your ankles.
12:03What's the drawback. You know so it's not like this thing looks crazy and you're doing some gimmicky thing. You're wearing a pair of cleats with I mean they have an updated you know cleat technology for the talk about the studs. in who knows how long. So this is just the next step. It's Curly Lambeau, probably. I call it footsteps. The last question here for Joe Flacco. Anybody? Yeah, I do. Joe, Pittsburgh may be looking for a quarterback. You haven't played there yet in the division. Thoughts? Do you know Big Mike McCarthy? Do you want to play for him? Listen, I've gotten to the point, like, I love saying no to people, but as I get older, I'm becoming more and more used to just embracing whatever.
12:42So who knows what the future holds? How do you feel about the song Renegade? Listen, early in my career, I hated hearing that thing. It was like, James Harrison, where the hell is he? Stay away. But as it kind of progressed, I was like, all right, bring it on. Here we go. Coach Harbaugh moves on from Baltimore. Crazy to experience in real time? How does it come from your perspective? Listen, I feel like you were hearing a lot of stuff around a bunch of different organizations, them being one this year. I wouldn't say I was super surprised, but I'm happy for him to kind of land. where you knew that he was going to land a job instantly.
13:18So it's not like you feel too bad for John. You know, he's one of the best coaches, and he has been for 20 years. So I'm excited for him to come to New Jersey. You know, he's going to be, you know, a fellow New Jerseyan. Watering, yeah. Yeah, exactly. I mean, come on. Look at you. Pittsburgh, you can't talk. Yeah, I agree. Completely agree. You talked about you knew he was going to get hired immediately. Let's go to another coach that got hired immediately that you played for. And obviously Joe Flacco at 41 years old isn't just going to take a massive, absolute shite on anybody publicly. But Stefanski just got another job very quickly.
13:56I was surprised by that personally. Yeah. He was, I mean, he was another one of those guys. You knew it. I mean, he took Cleveland to the playoffs a couple times, came in and had success right away. I think he's probably, look, that was his first head coaching job. And you learn as you go. And, you know, I think it's going to be a good fresh start for him. and I'm excited to see what he can do. I'm excited for you, Joe Flacco. Yep. Good luck out there. Hell yeah. We appreciate you, man. Appreciate it, fellas. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Flacco. Love you, Joe! Okay, thank you, AJ.
14:26You know, we had a whole plan on how we'd start this thing. Also, AQ Shipley's here. AQ. I'm sorry that just happened. We'll talk to you. AQ will be here all week. All week. AQ's going to be here all week. It's not going anywhere. Yes. I mean, Joe Flacco, he goes all the way back to James Harrison days right there. He's like, where's Debo at? Oh, mama, I'm in fear for my life. Debo. That's what Joe Flacco was thinking that entire time. And then they show highlights up on the jumbotron of Joe Flacco getting decleaded and beheaded and everything like that. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who is going to welcome us to a city that he has called home.
15:00A city that he has become a four-time All-Pro. Representing Experian, ladies and gentlemen, legend, 49er Fred Warner. Yay! All right, you got cocked by Joe Flacco. You were supposed to be first guest. No, no, no, it's all good. You're a good man, Fred. You wouldn't be able to publicly say once again - I can't get up. I'm stuck. I'm tied down, sorry. Are you stuck? What's up, buddy? I got you. I got you. I'm on tied, Fred. I got you. I'm on tied. Good job, AJ. Thank you. Well, we will learn as you - I was stuck in the couch. You know, Roger Goodell normally gets the drafted dap. Hell yeah. Here at Super Bowl, there's always full dap sessions.
15:38Mm-hm. Hello, everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, Fred Warner. Fred, do you know all these people? This is your city? This is my city, man. You know all these people? Sam, friend, you know our stadium's right down the street from the building here. Yeah, right next to the electric place. Yeah, by the substation. Oh, man, I thought we were at least going to get a couple questions. That was on you. That was on you. That was 100 % on you. I mean, you talk about your facility, your stadium. I mean, what do you expect when you say? Yeah, seriously. The conversation right now. That's all the convo is going to be this week.
16:02Yeah, we appreciate you joining us and welcoming us to this area, this city as a whole. Four-time All-Pro here. So when you move here, San Francisco, what we thought we were walking into here was a dump. Yeah, shite everywhere. It's not at all. It was a beautiful walk this morning. It does feel like. And it also feels like it's going to be a great host city for the Super Bowl yet again. Your thoughts on basically the Super Bowl coming back to San Francisco. Yeah, of course. I would have loved to have been playing in my own stadium to have a chance to win a Super Bowl. But I'm glad to welcome everybody to our city, you know, and yeah, I get to enjoy a nice Super Bowl experience.
16:38Okay, so the NFC West is being represented, though. Ha-ha. Yeah, there we go. No, no, no, no, no. Don't clap. Oh, okay. That's not clappable. I like that. Yeah. So the NFC West, they say, is the NFL's best. It did feel like that. Yeah. Honestly, it did feel like that. Now, granted, whenever you get hurt, whenever Bosa gets hurt, we all, national media, us included, just go, well, there's no way the Niners win. And then your team just continued to do it. Then there was hope you were going to come back. And then all of a sudden, the Rams are doing what they're doing. Then the Seahawks are doing what they're doing.
17:07and we're watching the rest of the NFL. We're like, damn, the NFC West is the real deal here. Loaded, loaded. It really is. Tell me about McDonald coming into Seattle and Sam Darnold, obviously. Like, what is the thought of, like, the next 10 years for basically all of your teams? Except for, I mean, maybe LaFleur gets going. Congrats, Coach Michael Ford. That's right. He was here with the Niners. He was. He still really red and gold. Always had that hair. I didn't expect the hair. I saw that this morning. I didn't notice that when he was with us. That must have been new. But the NFC West for the next 10 years seems to be ready.
17:38What are your thoughts on this Seattle team? This was an odd year, right? I mean, we expect the Niners to be right there at the top of the NFC West for the next 10 years, and then everybody else can kind of file in after that. Mike McDonald, got to tip your cap to him, and only in his second season leading his team to a Super Bowl is incredible, right? And I think Sam needs all the flowers right now, the things that he's been able to do in these playoffs to kind of get that monkey off his back a little bit that everybody was trying to talk about. he can't win the big game and throwing interceptions and all this other stuff.
18:08You know, I'm really happy for Sam. So we'll see how the Super Bowl goes, the actual game. But the Niners right there, tip top, baby. Okay, yeah, I understand. That's what you're doing all week right there? What's that? The whole what you just did. What did I do? Telling the truth? I mean, it has been. Pat. It has been the truth. The Seattle Seahawks are in the fucking shit. They are, yes. That's why I said it was an off year. It was an off year. Anomaly year. It was an anomaly. Yes, an anomaly. I understand what you're saying. I respect and appreciate that. And also, I think the Niners fans will certainly appreciate that well.
18:39Your team and your era has been fantastic. It has been fun to watch you guys. Fun, fun team to watch. Go ahead, AJ. What about this Patriots team? The Patriots defense specifically, I guess. Is there anyone that you like to watch? It's funny, Pat said, like, for a lot of casual fans, they can't name a ton of players on both sides for whatever reason. I don't know what it is, what makes it about it. But when you watch the Patriots defense, I guess, who do you like? They actually got a lot of nice pieces. I think they have one of the best corners in the game in Christian Gonzalez. I think he's really good.
19:04I love Bobby Spillane, man. I met him when he was over with the Raiders. We had a nice little conversation. He's asking me, like, Fred, how do you punch the ball out like you do? And we had a great convo. He's doing his thing over there with Vrabel. That's Bob Spillane. Yeah, that's Bob Spillane. He is, bro. He's a legend. Did you ask him, did you say, like, hey, how do I put my forehead through a dump truck? I didn't get your neck that big. Everybody remembers the play where he put his forehead right there. Oh, yeah. Lined up. Yeah, right at the goal line. Yeah, incredible. So, love Bobby, man.
19:32And, yeah, I think they got some really good pieces. Their D-line is ferocious. They've added some really, really good pieces in free agency this year. It's a reason why they have an opportunity to win a Super Bowl. So they played really well through the playoffs, and we'll see how they go in the Super Bowl. Yeah, you already had a couple opportunities to win the Super Bowl. Obviously, it's going to be tough to get back to this point. You guys have had a ton of different play callers on that defensive side of the ball. You see more organizations kind of getting the input from their quarterback.
19:58Did you get to put any input on who was going to be the next play caller? Obviously, it's Raheem Morris now. And what's been your favorite iteration of that great defense of yours? No, no, I didn't get to say so on who we are. But I love the hire. We're not mad about it, though. We're not mad at all. We love the hire, man. Coach Raheem, all I hear is great things about Raheem and wherever he's been. It sounds like he's been beloved everywhere he's been, right? So I'm interested to see, you know, being able to talk to him and see what his plan is for our defense. And we've always ran, you know, a 4-3 defense of just telling the D ends and the D line to get off the rock and letting the back end and just kind of play with vision and ball out, break, play fast, play violent, and I expect nothing less going forward.
20:35You know what I love about you, Fred? What's that? Think about it. From establishing credit to buying a car or purchasing a home, so many key milestones depend on having a strong financial foundation. Wow. Did you memorize that? That's where experience comes from. Okay. There we go. Whether it's canceling unwanted subscriptions, lowering your bills, or simply just taking control of your financial life. Wow. Experience is the big financial friend who can help you do all that. You just did my job. Right from your phone. Yeah. Tell me about your tag team partner experience. Ooh. Your financial. They're my BFF.
Read the full transcript
21:11Yeah. My big financial friend. Oh, your bank financial. Oh. Come on. Y 'all didn't know that, Nancy. Yeah. That was pretty good. Yeah, say it one more time. I stepped on it. You stepped on it. Yeah, you got to say it one more time. BFF. I did it again. I did it again. I did it again. Hold on. You got to wait until I stop and then say it. BFF. Big financial friend. Oh, that was great. All right. Wow. Helping you save time and money. You remember last year when I was on the show, Pat? After the show, we looked at your subscription list, and it was just a long laundry list. You weren't even using it.
21:39What were some of those? Do we know what some of them were? I can't even remember. It was so long ago. I had so many different workout things. And guess what? The Experian app helps you kind of just get rid of all those unwanted subscriptions for you, right? So it just saves you time and saves you money. Download the Experian app today. Where's the camera? Right there, baby. Nice. Yeah. I don't think that was right there. No, it wasn't. But listen, it's all right. I think you actually put your hand over your face with the camera that we have. It's downloading Experian. So it'll immediately do that when I sign up.
22:05I don't remember. I don't remember. So as soon as I let Experian into all my shit, it'll then go through all my shit. And it'll say, hey, listen, you know you're paying$8.99 for the Ab Roller or Super Duper$400. Super Duper$5 ,000, yes. Yeah, the singing Flappy Bird. Yes. $3.99 a month. Correct. It'll say, hey, this is what you're doing. Yes, and then let's go ahead and chop that down. God, just like Fred Warner just sawing it down. Wow. Shout out to Experian. That's right. Shout out. Howie, it's very convenient and easy. Absolutely. The easiest, most convenient. That's why you guys are BFF. BFF, big financial friend.
22:37That's good. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, that's really good. You did good. I'll tell you what, I think we're giving that a, I mean, it's hard because it's first guy. Yeah, exactly. So top of the board. Yeah, top of the board. Yeah, number one. Joe had a pretty impassioned touch. Joe was one. Joe was one. Yeah, he wears the cleats. They were his own cleats. I'm wearing the polo. That's true. Was BFF freestyle? Was BFF freestyle? Or was BFF freestyle? That was freestyle. OK. That was not nice. He's got to get one back up the board. Boom. They're clapping for me back there. The experience. Look.
23:13Look at them. Look. They love it. They love it. They're the home team. They love it. Like, Fred, stop. Stop. You're killing me. No, no. I think that's going to be tough to top. Flacco just came in with a full speech, and he buried the Guardian cap while doing so. Yeah, he did. So he took a shot at another company. Fred, are you still wearing the Guardian cap every game? I never wore it. Oh. What? No. I swore. I thought I was on the exemption. You know, AJ invented it? Is that right? No. Do you have to practice in it, though? There was a year you did have to practice in it. What does that feel like?
23:39And then they made, like, a list of helmets that you can wear. You don't have to wear it. Okay. So you hit somebody with the Guardian cap on? Yeah. How does it feel? It felt strange because you're used to having that stick when you hit somebody and you didn't get that stick. You got the little kind of like a soft pillow. Did it feel better, though, on your head? No, you don't notice a difference. Have you been a super violent football player your whole life? No, I wouldn't say so. I think that was something that I kind of had to grow into a little bit. And then chirping, have you always chirped, too, or no?
24:06Something as well I've had to grow into. I do feel like you are. You're pretty advanced, do you think? I think I do a good job. You have to ask everybody else that I play. What is the – are we trying to saw it down? Are we trying to pump up? What is the angle? What are you talking about with the shit talk? Yeah. I think – Because I see you are at every single – It's not well thought out. Let's just say that. It's not something I go into a game saying, oh, this guy, I'm going to mention this. No, it's usually just – BFF. It's usually just bad words being used. Who have you had your best joust with back and forth?
24:40You know, me and DK had our battles back in the day when he was in Seattle. I don't know. Not a lot of guys kind of give it back, though. It's kind of – Is it a lost start? How old are you? It's a lost start. I'm 29. Do you think the generation behind you probably stopped doing it? I think so. I'm not seeing it as much. They're more cerebral. Yeah. Cerebral assassins. Connor has a question for you, Fred. Yeah, Fred, you played in a bunch of Super Bowls. I'm a Patriots fan, so this is my seventh. But for the games that you played in, And, like, for a lot of these teams, or for both of these teams, rather, the linebackers, young teams, you know, Drake May, young quarterback, Sam Darnold, still in his 20s, but he's been in the league for a little.
25:17What is this like for them? You know, you played in a few, so what was, like, the first one more so, like, for these two teams? And how hard is it kind of during the week to just stay in the hotel and not, you know, kind of deal with all this type of stuff? Yeah, I mean, it's a surreal moment. You know, you dream about, one, playing in the NFL, and then once you make it in the NFL, you dream about playing in a Super Bowl, right? And so being in a Super Bowl only in my second season was just unbelievable. And you're relying a lot on the guys who have been there and done it, right? Like I had Richard Sherman who had been there, won a Super Bowl.
25:46I'm asking them, like, how the week goes and what you're supposed to do. Both teams have players and coaches that have been a part of this game and winning one. So you've got to kind of lean on the older players. And it's just about eliminating distractions because, like, you've got stuff like this all week long where it's, like, all the interviews and all the, you know, the talk about the game. but you just got to stay dialed in on what you're supposed to do, playing and play out on Sunday. Sherm felt like an awesome teammate, I assume. Amazing. Amazing teammate, yeah. That's why they won a bunch of Super Bowls up there in Seattle.
26:16With him, they won one, didn't they? Well, yeah, but I'm just saying, like, they were a dynasty, though, weren't they? Didn't Seattle have a dynasty? No, no, no. I think they won one, and then it was just like that was it. I mean, legendary defense. Everyone knows the Legion of Boom. Legion of Boom. If you're legendary, that's basically all you want to be is a defense. He doesn't like that they're being titled the legendary defense up in Seattle and they haven't won anything yet. That's a Patriots fan. That's fair. Because they got their own name right now. Isn't it the MOB instead of LLB? Oh, yeah.
26:39I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I thought it was the dark side or something like that. Yeah. I thought it was the dark side. Okay, they don't even have an established name, so that means that they don't have it. No, it sounds like you, a Niners player, said the wrong name. I thought I heard something. I'm like, ah. MOB, okay. Have your own thing. You know what I'm saying? That's a cool name. They do have a good defense. We're not going to say that. I know. It's amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, well, he knows. Well, and Mob is cool, too. I didn't think he was going to concede to that.
27:02No, it's a great defense. That's why, you know. Hey, we're playing defensive football right now in the NFL. Do you feel that? How has Drake May performed throughout the playoffs, would you say? I mean, pretty solid for the defenses he's played against. Okay, I like that answer. And weather that he's had for certain parts of games. I think he's played a top five defense in every game. First quarterback ever to beat three on the way to the Super Bowl. Yeah, Thursday night, there's a – Scott's a fan, right? Oh, yeah, he knows his stuff. But they're great, too. I mean, Seattle's what? They're also a top ten defense.
27:27It might be six overall. Did you watch a lot of Drake May this year or no? You know, I didn't really keep tabs as much, but he was in that MVP conversation. He was in the MVP conversation, so, you know, you obviously. No, no, but I think because you have a job with another team in a completely different conference, you would not pay attention. 1 ,000%. AFC teams, not in this year. Yeah, but I also think, like, a lot of people have not really watched Drake play all year because he's 23 years old and it was supposed to be a rebuild year. So they have seen the playoffs and seen the stats of the playoffs, and they're like, this guy's ass.
27:55What are we even talking about? It's like, I don't know, man. He's very young. He's very young. It'll be interesting to see how he embraces the moment on Sunday. It does feel like it's a defensive league right now. Do you feel that as well? A lot better defense is being played? This year, I think a lot better defense is for sure being played, yeah. Why is that? You think you guys are catching up to the offense? You know, the league is cyclical, right? Like, it's like offense, defense, offense, defense, run game, pass game. Defense is getting lighter boxes. Defense is getting heavier boxes, you know.
28:22Well, I don't know. What do you play better in your light box? Yeah. You say what? What's that? I don't know. Am I light? I don't know. Two what? Two. 235. 235. Healthy. Back in the day, though, they used to be about 250. So maybe we'll get back to the 250. You know what I mean? Bob Slane's 250. Right here. Yeah, I think, yeah. Just shoulders up. Yeah, he's pretty, you know, yoked up guy. Were you close to playing? I was, yeah. NFC Championship I would have played. Yeah. I was out there at practice. Okay, we saw you. What was the one? You looked good. You looked good. And then there was one. You hit a thing.
28:56Yeah. And then a person came, I think, that you were supposed to avoid, and it did not look smooth. It was the only video. It didn't look smooth. No. Uh-oh. No? It looked like you were trying to save it. Yeah, it did. It did. Fred, don't go Fred. Hold on, hold on. Now I'm curious, what clip are you talking about? Hit a bag. Find a clip? Hit a bag. Oh, the bag. Hit a bag and a running back. Before the divisional round. Oh, no, the bag. On one leg. And then running back came. So, okay, with the bag, you're talking about I had one foot up and one foot back. Is that why it looked like I was favoring it?
29:26No, the whole thing. You'll see. The whole thing. Because we watched you run back and forth. Right, okay. Had the jersey tucked. It's like, whoa. Abs were still out. It's got to be working. Red's field. Okay. Running, flying, flying. Yeah, yeah. Then I think live on the show, we watched you hit the bag. Yeah. We saw you shed the bag. Yeah. And then we saw somebody coming. We were all like, okay. I didn't want to run through my coat, so I'm having to avoid my coats. Okay, all right. Okay. No? We didn't know that. Because I'm coming. I'm acting like I'm punching the ball. You're ready to play. It makes sense.
29:55It's all good. We'll never know, unfortunately, when that moment would have come playing in the NFC Championship. But I think that was a week beforehand. Yeah, no, the practice was going into the divisional round. Yeah. Where it was like, oh, is he going to play the divisional round? And it's like, doctors like, oh, we got to wait. We got to hold off another week. How do you think he would have done, like game shape and all that stuff? Oh, it would have been fantastic. No problems. I was in that pool, man, Michael Phelps, getting the lungs burning. Will you do that forever now? I think so, yeah.
30:21I love it. Okay, I think here's the video. Can you put it on the back wall, too? Oh, yes, here we go. Okay, so tell me what part of this looks like I'm favoring something. I would love to see. Yeah, right here. My God, look how violent. Right there. Yeah, right there. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, go back. Can we get a slow motion? Right there. Can we get a slow mo? Okay. Which leg is it? Which leg is it? Which leg is it? That's interesting. Good question. Left. Which one is it? Because I'm curious, do you guys even know which leg is hurt based off of the video? Right leg. Right leg. No, no, no, no, no.
30:51Right leg. Is it right leg? Yeah, right leg. I broke the left one. No, I'm just kidding, it was the right one, it was the right one. Yeah, cuz you pushed off the left there at the end. That's probably what they're thinking. You're saying you felt - My God, I felt great. So we misread this video you're saying. Here's the thing. I still think they're lying. No, no, no, no, like - Okay, so I see the part you're talking about right there. Yeah. Just landing one legged on that leg. Yeah, like disengaging. Disengaging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a linebacker's coach. Boom, hand, boom, boom, fire. My God, I think I look damn good.
31:24Having broke my leg in half three months after that looked pretty high. And that's how we were watching it. Okay. Yeah, it was unbelievable. Thank you, thank you. But we were thinking to ourselves, wait a minute. Hold on, Freddie. You just broke your leg three months ago. That's what we were thinking. I was surprised at how well he was. Did you have Stafford's chamber thing that you went into? Yeah, he had a - Trailer. Trailer? Yeah, it works. It's a full thing, they pulled it up to his back door. It's probably cheating to be honest. What kind of trailer was it? Amortal. A-M-M-O-R-T-A-L. Free out of game.
31:57It's fucking radio. Sorry, I shouldn't be over here. No, Experian will figure out the trailer. That'll get the entire thing. Time and money. Yeah, but he got into a trailer because in training camp, remember, he had her back. The back, yes. And so his shield is back. This thing showed up at training camp, and then all of a sudden, he's MVP of the NFL. That is true. He had no training camp. So maybe you just plop your leg into that thing. Yeah, and then all of a sudden, put that thing in there. And then no more clips. Ty is the last question for you, Fred. Hey, we appreciate you, man. Thanks, man.
32:25I appreciate you guys. You have a lot of other shows probably you have to do and we just definitely took up a lot of your time. And - I mean, we're just having so much fun. We got, we're pulling clips up, we're talking ball, we're doing all sorts of things. Medicine, I mean - Medicine. Nobody's talking about us talking about that. We love ball. Started with that and we moved on. You just brought it up again. I did. Sounds like you would like to talk about that. No, we had a question over here. No, no, no, no. I don't want to talk about it. Yeah, we do have a question. I mean, it's got to be said.
32:50I mean, what's going on with these things? How real do you put it in? Like, when you broke your leg, were you instantly like, oh, god damn it? My dog, CJ West. The substation. How does he feel about it? In the locker room, and I guess we just heard. Yeah, it was never talked about until all of a sudden a couple weeks ago when it started being talked about, right? This thing has been around for decades. Like, they practiced over there. old Jerry Rice is practicing at the substation in 1980-something. So it's been around forever. For some reason, it's just kind of picked up a lot of momentum, you know, because of all the injuries that we dealt with this past year.
33:22Is there something to it? I don't know. There needs to be more research done to see, like, exactly what the effects could be or if there are some, if there aren't some. But it's a violent game. We've got an older roster. You know, some things are going to happen out there. Boom, boom, boom. And, yeah, and then we go. I think they expanded it like three years ago. I mean, there's always an argument. They up the juice. They up the juice. Yeah, yeah. So, you know. Voltage doubled. But also on that case, on that note, people are expecting an answer to come from that world. Yeah, right. Yeah, not a chance.
33:49No way. Not a chance. Right. We would like it to be, but there's no. Keep dreaming. These type of things, they take time. They take time for sure. Yeah, maybe just an infinite amount. That electric company, they have Apple power. Yeah. Like they are. They're quite vivid. Yeah, they power. They got the juice. They actually added three months or three years ago more power. Yeah. So they're not just going to go down. No. Without a. No, you think. Oh, is that what Jerry Rice played on the same ground? You know, that whole thing. So that's going to go on forever. We just would like you guys to be healthy because we're such big fans.
34:20I would love to. I would love to have a healthy team. We would like to do anything we possibly can to keep you playing football because obviously the NFL missed you this year. We did appreciate you bouncing back on the sideline towards the end of the year. Gave us hope that you were going to be back. Then we saw what we saw. Now we're excited for next season. Next season. We'll get that cleaned up. And the 49ers, you know. Tip top. Number one. I don't think so, though, because the Seattle Seahawks are in. No, no, no. What did we talk about? Anomaly. Good word. Yes, thank you. Use it. All right.
34:48Now it is time. It's going to be something we're going to do with every guest that comes through. Okay, here we go. We kind of do it on the fly normally yearly. It becomes the thing. Yeah. Now we'd like to officialize it so we all kind of understand what's going on here. Right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the charity Super Show. Ooh. Super's in there because we're at the Super Bowl. Very nice. It's for charity. We made this graphic six minutes before the show on. Okay. First shot will be worth$20 ,000. Your second and third shots will be worth a$10 ,000 donation. If you make it on the first one, guess what we're doing, Fred?
35:19We're cheering. Yeah. Probably. We'll cheer. Probably will. What else are we doing, Fred? And we're giving$20 ,000. To the charity of your choosing. Boom. If you make it on the second and third try,$10 ,000. I'll tell you this. Okay. You make it on the first try. Yeah. You might go down as great as an athlete of all time in conversations. The ball is tough. It's very soft. It's very light. You guys do that on purpose. Yeah. You guys don't like charity. What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you dare do that, Fred. What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you dare do that, Fred. We love charity. I did not expect that.
35:53And we support the troops. Yes, we do. Always. I know you do that or else we wouldn't even be doing this. Of course you guys love charity. You kidding me. Oh, Fred, that was good though. Thank you. You experienced that. Let's blow the balls up. I was trying to save money around here. Unbelievable. Save money to put it to a good place. That's exactly right. Which is exactly, Fred, what you will do if you're able to make this on the first try. Light ball. Very light ball. Yeah, me and my son. BYU is good at basketball now, too. Yeah, you know, they got old AJ, number one overall pick soon. Yeah, what's going on over there?
36:21It feels like there's a couple basketball people associated with your school that are just paying for all the good players. Hey, we won't even talk about that. All right, here we go. Well, it's not just them. They want the old guys, too. Oh, yeah, G League guys. Yeah, come on. Let's get the guys fresh out of NBA. What is this? Now we're talking about BYU and you downed my team. Hold on. Go, Blue. Sorry about that. Go blue. Yeah, it's funny. Blue and white Cougs. Ladies and gentlemen, see for$20 ,000 to a charity of Fred Warner. Here we go. First shot of the week. Here we go. Boy, boy. He hates charity.
36:50Wow. Fred Warner. Yes. Look how deflated the balls are. There's no air in the ball. Yikes. My goodness. Listen, here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say about that. Here's what I'll say. Didn't even land in the paint. I almost got hit in the head. Here's what I'll say. Last year when I did this, I overdid it. And so then we hit the back, so that time I gave it - Did you wrestle in high school? I didn't, I wish I did though. Okay, okay, okay. Are you a big excuse guy, Norman? Yeah, okay. I am. Okay, this for$10 ,000. Just like the Niners, a lot of injuries. Injuries, where else we would have been there?
37:22Now I will say that I don't like how people have to act like that's not an excuse. Hey, if you lose Fred Warner, your team's gonna suffer from that. No doubt about it. Hey, I'm tired of the excuses, like, okay. All right, you know. The best guy on the field is no longer on the field for the team. That's very nice of you. And then Shanahan continues. Yeah, the man. Salah goes crazy. Yes. All right, let's see, round two. It's for$10 ,000. 10, okay, here we go. Ready? We made the graphic. Here we go, here we go. We made the graphic. You did, you did, it's on there. It's on there. You matched to get to 20 maybe.
37:57We're closer, we're closer, we're closer. One more, one more, one more. We got an opposite, two balls. I got you. I could have caught, I could, ooh, got a little more. You know this one over the whole time. No, no. Hey, this one got a little bit more air in. I didn't know. All right, here we go. This is the final. Final, final shot of the day. Final chance. Here we go. For$10 ,000 to a charity of Fred Lunders choosing. My LeBron James. Bang Bang. No. Geez. Wow. The ball switch at the end. Yeah, bro, I mean, are you kidding me? Like, what are we doing here? Well, I tell you what we're not doing.
38:29We're not yet. We're not getting back to charity today. Thanks a lot, Fred. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Thanks Fred. We appreciate that. We have a busy week. Thank you for stopping by. Appreciate it man. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. The boys in the back just told me you have a gift. What is that? Yes, we do have a little gift. I think our Telemooc friends have a little gift for you. So if we can bring those out, thank you guys. Wow. Let's get a round of applause for Pat and Cheddar Fred here. All right. The dynamic duo. Oh, wow. Tillamook cheese. You got to put that next to his face.

This is all cheddar. This is high-quality cheddar here. Tillamook cheddar. Tillamook cheddar, yes. This thing's heavy as hell. I know. Yeah. Here, let's hold it together. That's high-quality. That's great. Oh, my God. It looks exactly like you. Who's the artist? They've done it. I know. They're not bad. They've finally done it. How about that? Are you going to take a big bite? Take a bite. Yeah. Frank, go ahead. Get in there, Chad.
39:35No, no, no, no, no. Get in there. Get in there. We can take a bite of these. These are good. Some of these. That's not fun. All right. Right off the hair. But no, this is art. We can't take a bite of art. That is art. How do they mimic you that good? Yeah, how about that? Did they get a mold on my face? Yeah. Yeah, that looks good, man. Look at the hair. Oh, man. The flow in the hair. Pat was saying he wants to put that in his house. Will that last? Will that preserve? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, yeah, it'll last, I'm sure. Wow. Only the best. Nancy Baker's the artist, the cheese artist. We appreciate that.

Yeah, he might be in first place now. That is. He's got two companies. There it is. Number one. It's got to be two companies. The likeness is striking. Yeah, are you scared looking in the mirror right there? If anybody says, what's Super Bowl week? That. Boom, right there. Hey, I did not know about this. I had not seen it. Yeah, right. You had to sit down for nine hours. You had to send a headshot there. Get that effort.
41:10It's a whole thing like a video game. What? Wow. That thing turns the corner, and I just immediately, yes. Yeah. So happy. Thank you, Tillamook. Unreal. Cheddar me. Can you break it? I don't want to behead me. I don't want to behead me. How did it taste? Good? It was good. Cheddar. Yep. Good chat. Okay. They nailed it. Holy shit. How did they do that? I don't know. We'll never know. Miss Baker is the artist. You're right. Nancy? Did she? You think she was a flamethrower? It's David Baker. I don't know. You were there. Tell us. I was told earlier, hey, there is a gift coming for you. Do you want to see it or know about it?
41:51No. would like to just kind of experience it. Happy I did that. Yeah, good move. Good move. Happy I did that. You know what? I think I'm a good one for all you guys. Oh, man. I'm going to ask. I don't know. That would be the greatest honor of all time. That's kind of a 1-1. Yeah, it's definitely a 1-1. We've seen pictures of D-butt, you know, kind of. Yeah, no, that's a good point. Recently. True, true. A little AI altered images. Yeah. All right, joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man that AI will never be able to duplicate. When you have goat conversations, you talk about this man. Western Pennsylvania Paisan legend.
42:24San Francisco 49er great. Four-time Super Bowl champion. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Montana. And Joe! Joe brings beer. Nice cold beer. Joe, I love that. What a guy. Look at the shoes. Man. So cool. Couple coldies. Oh, you got my crackers? Wow. He stole those. Those were in the back. Had it ready for the Tillamook. That's a quarterback right there. Just rolls and rinse. Rolls and rinse for the cheese. It's a good move. Unbelievable. All class. Unbelievable. Yeah, he did. I saw it. I'm in a weird spot here. Tough spot here. All day. Joe, now you need those. You need those. You need those. Yeah. You want me to hear her?
43:09Hold on, let me. I'm going to toss this bad boy over your back, too. Maybe next time, H. There we go. Yeah, you're actually in between hands. In between hands, Joe. Sorry about that. In between hands. Sit right there. Bang. Boom. We should have been much more prepared for you. I thought you were. Joe, we're so jacked up. I'm just going to check your head. Look at that. Don't move. It's his twin. Joe, I would ask you about this. So you brought the crackers immediately. You know, crackers, cheese, you think of wine. Obviously, we're in Northern California. You're here with Guinness. So whenever you talk about, like, kind of the culture of this part of the country, it does feel like drinking is a little bit of a part of it.
43:46Doesn't it feel like wine is a part of it? Cheddar, crackers, it feels like that is a part of the world. Is that an accurate description of San Francisco? And how should people outside of this place view it in your eyes, if you were to describe it? Well, I think you're seeing wine all over the place now, whether it's not just Northern California, but all spread throughout the state. And everybody's getting in on the game. But Guinness is still making Guinness. Yeah, you did. That's how you just moved up to the top. What do you think people should know about San Francisco, though, that maybe have never been here?
44:17We said this at the start of the show because we were so surprised by what we had been told and expected first when we walked through the streets and got here. It's like the buildings are beautiful. The eyelines are beautiful because there are so many hills, and it was obviously a nice run. There's people running. It was like a very active city. It felt like I had not known this about San Francisco. Obviously, you, very familiar with this area forever. Oh, yeah. I think one of the things that everybody still looks back at when the bubble burst and all the financial district was almost empty. Restaurants were leaving.
44:53And that's all behind us now. And the city is coming back. Our mayor has done an extremely, extremely good job of building the city back up. And we live here. I've been here since 1979. My whole family's here, except our youngest is moving back in from New York. eventually, hopefully next summer. But everybody lives here. Got three grandkids here, and we just keep coming back. It's hard to get. It's a beautiful city. We live down by the water, and so you see Alcatraz and the bridge. Yeah. That's part of my view. It's your window. If you look, my wife might be walking, right? Yeah, I've got a chance to chat with you off air, and you guys talked about how much you love this city, how much you love this place, and how you've called this place home.
45:39And you just mentioned your grandkids. there, Grandkids. We know the story about you saving. That's right. With a football, hitting a person, rating a beat. You're a legend obviously and we appreciate the hell out of you. Let's talk about your relationship with Guinness. I feel like you've had one for a while now. This particular relationship good because Guinness is going to be donating up to$35 ,000 to the local food bank, supporting neighbors across the Bay Area for every four-pack that's made I believe of this new lager here that Guinness has made. What type of beer is this? Is it a little lighter?
46:08What are we doing with this? It's a wheat lager. It's a lot lighter. It's a lot crisper. Best drinking ice cold. I've been involved, like you said, with Guinness for a long time, and this is a temporary thing. So it's only available for a certain amount of time. And like you said, for every four-pack,$5 is going to the food bank here in San Francisco, the SF Marin Food Bank, where we'll be heading down there in a little bit to go help back. that's the beauty about Guinness and love working with them for this reason. They're always giving back to the places they go and visit. Every time we go somewhere, we're at a food bank somewhere helping, and they're donating money, and they just do things right.
46:51And this beer became an idea from them, and they asked me one day, and so we started working on this about a beer that I had when I was in Germany. and it was after it was so smoking hot when we were playing there and every day after practice we'd head right to this one place with new had ice cold this wheat bear. And so we started working on that and it's been in collaboration with them for a while and for the longest time it was only available in Chicago. And so now they've packaged it and they're putting it out in Northern California here for a limited time. Well congratulations on getting that done.
47:29I can't wait to try it. Obviously chasing that beer from Germany for this long to make the Guinness folks over in Ireland make it happen. It's a beautiful story. You were green for us today. Yeah, I did. Yeah, so he did. Yeah, there we go. He was for that. He was for that, actually, Paisan. You know, I heard. Guinness also is black, so you're the outcast. I'm Irish. My middle name's O 'Neal, so I think it plays either way. There's a Guinness in there somewhere. Yeah, big go. Speaking of that, we went over to Ireland. I don't know if I told you this or not. I don't know, 50 of them, maybe? 50 Guinnesses?
48:00Yeah, in four hours. Oh, my God. They're so delicious. I haven't tried this one. Okay, I'm not going to put stamp approval on the Legends logo. I don't think Joe would lie to us. Okay, I don't think Joe would lie to us. But the OG Guinness, so delightful. Oh, yeah. You know, when we were in Ireland. Were we about to drink a beer together right there? No, some of these are. One of them packets is cold. One of them is nice cold. This one, you've got to find this best one. I've actually brought the cold one from my house. Hell, yeah. But they, you know you own the beer market when you can walk in any pub and say, give me a pint.
48:37And they don't ask you for who. They just give you Guinness because that's, they own that market over there. And it's such a, uh-oh, I want to see you open that. No, you got to let that one kind of settle a little bit. I don't think so. And he also shook it up a little bit. Yeah, you had to get it out. It's a good four-pack. I mean, pretty sturdy four-pack here. They also do a lot of packaging on the local plant products. Yeah, that's right. You know, like a lot of – they're wasting a lot of money, I think, around the – Yeah, how they put the packaging together. You know what I'm talking about?
49:08I'm talking about the weed. Slaunch. Oh, yeah. I was going to show you the packaging. The packaging is beautiful, though. This is, like, very sturdy. The one that we just sent out came in a black box. It was just off the chart. Everyone that I've sent it to just loves it. Oh, no. Once again, that's the Guinness difference. AJ has a question for you, Joe. Yeah, Joe, first off, I mean, these shoes, eventually by the end of the show, I'd like you to explain, these are pretty sweet. But on the second part of this, you have four Super Bowls, obviously. If you think back, is there anything, any one of those, or one play that sticks out more than anything else?
49:40I just wonder when you have so many great Super Bowl memories, does anything stick out? I think as a quarterback throwing a touchdown at the end of the Super Bowl to win a game probably sticks out more than anything, especially after I found out, and I can't believe this, John Taylor only caught one pass in that game, and that was it. Wow. The one. The one. It was the one. No, he didn't catch another pass in the game. That was the only pass he got. So he was probably going to hate you after that game. You know what? Last night we did a thing with like four or five of us looking back in the Super Bowl, and I said, John, I'm really sorry, man.
50:17I have to apologize to you because you were a wasted talent. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. I said we just did not throw him the ball enough. He was, I mean, one of only two guys to go 90-plus yards for a touchdown in the same game. And I loved it because I threw a little seven-yard slant, 94 yards. Seven-yard slant, 96 yards. And I got two touchdowns and 190 yards. Love what you're doing, brother. Keep it going, JT. D-Bot has a question for you, Joe. Joe, we talked about the 4-0 in the Super Bowls. your own memory as a player. What was your favorite memory as a kid or a young man watching the game, watching the Super Bowl and a big time play, maybe your favorite team?
51:01What was your best memory growing up before you got a chance to actually play in them? Rain gold high? Yeah, it was you know, I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, so watching the Steelers play and watch what Bradshaw went through early in his career and then come back and then win four Super Bowls. But them with Lynn Swan and those guys, it was fun to watch the Steelers back then and And their defense was ridiculous. Yeah. The defense now, this Patriots, Vrabel getting fired, then being able to be a super genius with his New England Patriots team, rebuild it in the same image as the Patriots, but with their own Vrabel kind of twist.
51:3723-year-old quarterback. Go ahead, Conman. Yeah, you mentioned last time you were on the show about Bill Walsh and just how important he was to the team. What do you see out of Vrabel and even Mike McDonald and kind of the importance of their demeanor and attitude and how that's kind of gotten to both these defenses. Because, you know, we were talking about it earlier with Fred Warner. This might be another, you know, defensive battle Super Bowl that we haven't really seen recently. Yeah. Last night I said the same thing is that, you know, everybody looks at the offenses, but really championships are won by defense.
52:08Right. If you can't stop somebody, you can't win. I don't care what you say. And those guys bring their own demeanor to the team and in different ways. Like Vrabel, you can see, he's an excitable, the other coach, kind of quiet. But he has his own teaching method and ways to get these guys fired up to play the kind of football they want on both sides of it. So I'm looking forward to the game. I think it's going to be a fun one. Yeah, Joe, I have a question. It just came out this morning, the Cheeser trailer for The Football Town. It's about Pittsburgh. It's coming up for the draft. Pat narrated it.
52:46It's awesome. Joe, crazy I got asked to narrate that, by the way. Huge honor. Yeah, huge honor. It's awesome. But, like, why do you think, like, what is there, like six, seven Hall of Fame quarterbacks that have come out of the Pittsburgh area, so many Hall of Famers from Aliquippa, Woody High, everything like that, why do you think that area lent itself to so many great quarterbacks coming out of there? I don't really have an answer for that, other than I think that sports in that area, a lot A lot of people say the same about other cities, but it's just a blue collar, hardworking, where sports really was a thing for people to get away.
53:22And from their everyday life to watch sports on TV, especially football. And it was just a fun place to grow up because you knew even in high school, high school football was big. And how do you get so many quarterbacks out of there? I have no idea. Yeah, we're lucky you're one of them. I think it was the Guinness beer, maybe. That'd be Icy Light. Icy Light of beer. The Guinness of Pittsburgh. Icy Light. Yeah, Johnny Unitas, Mount Washington. Do you know he's from Mount Washington? I assume you knew that. You guys probably have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, sorry. I'm going to. No, no, no, you're good.
54:00Yeah, yeah, I'm going to. So Johnny Yu was one of the guys. I've never, only jersey I've ever bought was Johnny Yu's. And I got the greatest time to play the old Crosby when it moved to North Carolina before it shut down. I got to play with Johnny the last time I was there. And it was, I mean, I loved him. But to watch what he went through, he had to Velcro his hands onto the golf club. But yet he played 18, not even 18. He played for 10 games. That's Mount Washington. I love everything about it. All right, Joe, before we let you get out of here, and we appreciate you being gracious with your time, We're doing a charity super shot here.
54:42Okay? Fred Warner, not able to make the shot. It is a very difficult shot, Joe. Although we believe in you as a person, and we believe in you as an athlete and legend and great Guinness representative. This shot, if you were to make it, would be a bit of a miracle with the way this ball is. $20 ,000 donation if you make it on your first try. $10 ,000 for the second and third attempts. Joe Montaigne, obviously San Francisco icon, looking to raise a little money.
55:14This one's for$10 ,000 donation Joe Montana. Okay, the ball's getting you. I think the ball is getting you. Just shoot the ball Joe.
55:26Same miss. Yep. You know it's that old saying short not hard enough. That's the old saying. That is the old saying. Another old saying is sláinte. We appreciate the hell out of here for the Guinness, Joe. Thank you, guys. Thank you for representing Pittsburgh so well in the football world. And thank you for being so kind to our program. We appreciate you, man. I appreciate your time. Thank you, guys. Have a good one. Joe Mones. Have a good one. Joe. Thank you. Great beer, by the way. Thank you. Great to see you. Oh, yeah. We got soccer jersey right there, it appears. What team is that, Ty? Ty, what team is that right there, the soccer team?
56:06Thank you, Joe. Danny? What club is that? It's got a Bayern. RCB and Leipzig? It's got a Bayern symbol top left for right. Is that Espanol? Come on, Gumps. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? That's Espanol. Espanol. In the morning, we drink coffee. In the afternoon, it's rum. In the afternoon, we play soccer, and we win every one. Yeah. We're Espanol. We're Espanol. Looky, looky, looky. Another goal. He said it's a gift. Okay, see, we're going to a break right now. 20 seconds. Can I come get that from you in 20 seconds? Radio Rose Grace. Boom. Just got a jersey from Espanol. We've been talking about them all year.
56:47I had no idea they existed. Did they give you any? Game worn. Interesting. Did J.J. Watts send you guys here? What? Bad boss. They don't even know. Yeah, bingo. Hey, J.J., tighten up. Hour 2 is on the other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend. Something nice might change our life.
57:08Football is the topic of conversation even though we're gonna be selling a lot of different products and talking to a lot of people from a lot of different genres of the world we are celebrating the greatest sport on earth football here in san francisco as the patriots and the seahawks will do battle on super bowl sunday to decide who is the world champion of the greatest sport of all time the numbers are going to be up and to the right even though the stars might not be in abundance yet in this particular matchup it feels like the world is going to be introduced to maybe a brand new dynasty will it be the same old same old team that maybe they have heard of from years past in the New England Patriots who had a 20-plus year run that everybody thought was absolutely absurd and they're going to be back before some teams even figured out how to make it to the damn Super Bowl?
57:48That would be insane. Is Vrabel the greatest coach of all time? Or is the guy who's coaching the Seattle Seahawks, Mike McDonald, potentially the greatest coach of all time with what he's been able to do. After they kick Pete Carroll out of the door and say we're going to a new era, this guy comes in as a defensive mastermind, a super genius of sorts, and forecast the future for his Seattle Seahawks team in his first team meeting when he says, I want you to close your eyes. It's late January. It's the NFC Championship. It's going to be 30 degrees. It's going to be a little bit of rain. It's going to be shitty for them, just right for us.
58:21Just 21 months later, he found his team in the NFC Championship, and now they're in the Super Bowl with a quarterback who was supposed to be absolute ass whenever he started his NFL career. It's an insane weekend of storylines that could become Maybe they end up in the Hall of Fame. Speaking of, we will find out who the official Hall of Famers are on Thursday night, I do believe, at the Honor Show. And then Friday morning, we will have all of the Hall of Famers here joining us live for a special thing called the Hall of Fame Face-Off, where we will be doing a trivia game of sorts with the Hall of Famers about ball for a donation to a charity of their choosing.
58:53The Pro Football Hall of Fame will also match a$25 ,000 donation. So it's going to be a packed week, a loaded week. It's already started. Let's go to the Talks at the Table at Boston Conner, at Ty Schmidt. Good celebration of ball, it feels like we're already seeing everybody. Joe Flacco, before we even get started, just kind of takes everybody's breath away. Exactly. Then Fred Warner comes in with two companies. Yeah, two of them. Joe Montana comes in with eight beers. Ice cold beers? Eight beers? The Super Bowl is starting fantastically here in San Francisco. Yeah, I mean, it's the best time of the year.
59:22It really is. You know, just seeing old friends and having people like Joe Montana pop in with ice cold beers when you didn't ask for them. But also, I'm very excited for the game, just as someone who really has no connection to either team. And like you said, maybe that is just because we have followed it all year, and a lot of people who will watch this as the only game of the year aren't as excited because there aren't a bunch of household names. Like, I think this could potentially be one of the best or closest games we've had in several years now. On that note, four-and-a-half-point dogs are the New England Patriots, Con, man.
59:55Got to wake up feeling good about that on this Wednesday. Yeah, I love it. All the pressure's on them. You know, all that we're hearing right now is how much the Seahawks should win by. Not anything else. So, all pressure on the favorite team and the underdog stats, I know, are terrific. Not to mention, you know, the Patriots are in white jerseys as well. And that's some cool stat, too. Home team. One half of the hammer done. Cowboys AP 10. Looks really cool. Yeah. Big time. Really cool. Couple chains. Got the boots. Got the hair flow. Super Bowl week. Yeah, you're doing it. You're really bringing it.
1:00:23And obviously, Joe Montana brought us some beers. What are the bets saying? Obviously, heavy, heavy betting public favorite. was the Seattle Seahawks like 70 plus percent just a little bit ago. Down, down to 64 % on the Seahawks, minus four and a half. What is that saying to you as that continues to drop potentially? Yeah, it was as high as 75 to start this whole thing. And we had talked about it. That's because they were coming off a couple ass beatings, looking really good against really good teams. But then as, you know, people look at things, and there's so many days between the NFC and AFC championship and the Super Bowl, so there's a lot of research done.
1:00:54And all that research is just saying like, hey, yes, Seattle's been really, really good. But guess what? Patriots also really, really good. So that's why you're starting to see that percentage come down. People believing in the Patriots more and more as the weeks can go on. Nine-year NFL vet, host of Everything DB. Good DB. Darius J. Baller. Good DB. DB. DB, take away from the first hour here at Radio Row in San Francisco. How do you think the week's going to be? The week's going to be phenomenal. I can take anything from that statue, block, bronze, whatever you want to call it. That's what the week is going to be like.
1:01:21That's Super Bowl, baby. You mentioned it. Joe Montana, the crowd, the people walking by. I can't tell you the order that just walked over near.
1:01:32I'm kind of distracted. Wow. Ladies and gentlemen, champ CM Punk. Yeah, Punk. Hey, you got AJ in the studio. He's normally on the Zoom. Yeah, man, they must have shelled out some big bucks to get your ass over here. Hit your ride. All right. Speaking of big bucks. Yeah. It's happening, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, it's happening, ladies and gentlemen. Las Vegas. Yeah, throw up those ones, boys. Throw up those ones. I'll be drinking your tears. Just like the Seahawks fans are going to be drinking the Patriots tears on Sunday. That's right. That's right. Yeah, I bet you like the Bruins, too, don't you? Yeah, how are they doing?
1:02:13I love the Bruins. Oh, buddy. What are we doing here, boys? Okay, so you like the Seahawks, clearly, over the Patriots. I don't have a dog in the fight. You know, the Bears are out, so it is what it is. Bears had a good run this year. They did, man. Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams. Round of applause. Seth freaking Rollins was doing a lot of talking about the Bears on TV. That was good to see. That's because he can't wrestle, so he might as well talk. You mean because he's injured or just in general? No, I mean because he can't wrestle. I love that. Best in the world's here, obviously. About to run into the, hey, how you doing?
1:02:46Good to see you guys. Tony Dungy, holy shit. Good to see you, Tony. There he is. He hates Bill. You feel real special over here, Pat McAfee. Tony Dungy's right behind you. I don't care. I know, I know. I understand. Champ's here. What about your Finn Balor talk to Mike as OTC? Yeah. So let's talk. Okay, so let's chit-chat a little bit about you and Roman Reigns. What is your thoughts here? What did you see out of Roman Reigns whenever he, you know, he joined our show? First time we've seen him in a long time. Yeah. And then obviously he does his thing at the Rumble. He comes out. What are you saying?
1:03:12First time you've seen him in a long time. What do you mean? Well, he's giving time. Yeah, exactly. He's giving the younger stars an opportunity. He's busy. He's a gracious tribal chief. Yeah. They're saying that's his best promo of all time. How do you feel? Imagine that. In the ring with CM Punk, bringing the best out of guys? Yeah, I've heard that before. Okay, you're complimenting yourself. I love that. That's not a bad point. I love that angle. Are we healing? What do you think right now about you and Roman Reigns and where he is right now coming back? I think in this business. Yes. Thank you.
1:03:41In this business. In this business. I think in sports. I think in the NFL. I think in the NHL at the start of a season, you get the lay of the land. You see all 32 teams and, you know, even in baseball, you see like, OK, this team is going to be better and you can have your predictions. But everybody has that wish of this is going to be the team and this is going to be the team on the other side. Everybody can have their predictions. And I don't know if anybody in NFL, you know, sphere guessed that it was going to be Patriots and Seahawks. No, that wouldn't have been your first pick because that doesn't exactly scream blockbuster Super Bowl.
1:04:16Right. It's still the Super Bowl. teams are still going to be out there grinding trying their best to win but when you take wrestling and you look at at who is the biggest names in the industry the top two are CM Punk and Roman Reigns right so you want to see them in the biggest event in the main event at Wrestlemania so we're here now I wasn't sure he was going to pick me I thought he might pick Drew because I do legitimately believe Drew is the easier choice but where I'm at right now I got him exactly where I want him. He picked me. I got under his skin. He's emotional. And we all know, you know, those emotional Samoans, they can't control themselves.
1:04:56Whoa! Not our tribal chief, CM Punk! AJ, I don't know if I... Maybe the tribal thief, but not our tribal chief. Exactly. Well said. That loser. Exactly. And I don't think he... I do not believe he is from Hawaii or Polynesia. AJ has the last question for you to see him, Punk. We appreciate you making time for us. AJ, you're my third favorite AJ. I'm sorry. It goes AJ Lee, AJ Styles. What? And then I'll take it. Yeah. AJ Styles just retired. AJ Styles. AJ Styles. AJ Styles. AJ Styles. AJ Styles. A lot of retirement. He put his gloves back on. Yeah, he put his gloves back on, though. So that was a retirement?
1:05:42I don't think I fully understand what happened out there. Who knows? I don't know. I know what he told me behind the scenes, which is nobody else's business. Why'd you tell us? Love and respect. All right, AJ has a – but he put the gloves back on. Wait, there's that behind-the-scenes show now. It'll come out. You can tell us. Listen, listen. If we're ever doing a WrestleMania in the future in Atlanta and we need, like, gnarly Alan Jones to come back and do a street fight, It's like Bruno Sammartino against the Macho Man Randy Savage circa late 80s. Yeah, bring it on. Yeah, we're from Pittsburgh.
1:06:16We love the paisano Bruno Sammartino. Yeah, you put french fries on salads. Go ahead, I'm sorry, AJ. And on sandwiches, but yeah, they're better all of a sudden. You guys have lasagna as pizza there from your city. Who hates lasagna? What a weirdo you are. That's a good thing. I wanna eat lasagna. If I want lasagna, if I want pizza, I eat pizza, right? Thank you, AJ. Boom! I mean, deep dish stuff's for tourists anyway. It is. So what do you have? Then what's for the locals? Pin crust Malnati's, baby. That sounds great. That's probably crunchy. Yeah, cornmeal on the bottom of the crust, sweet sauce.
1:06:50I'm all in. The pin crust out of there is very nice. We got an elimination chamber coming up. You boys should all come set up shop and buy a pizza. Up in Chicago. Yeah. All right. Malnati's. That's a really far travel for us. AJ has the last question for you here. Yeah, for shoot, what do you think of this show, the behind the scenes show? What's the name of it? Unreal. Unreal. I love it. As a fan, I enjoy seeing it. What do you think? So I hate it and I love it. I watched the first season and I love the way it humanizes people. I loved it. You got to see moments because really, it's just like, to me, NFL hard knocks.
1:07:24You know, and if that show, I watched the one with the Bears, obviously, and my wife was interested in it because it's not sports. You're profiling individuals that might normally not get the spotlight on them. and I see our show, Unreal, is really kind of no different. What I don't like is peeling back the curtain a little bit too much. Like, I don't necessarily, like, to me, Gorilla is sacred. So they shoot so much stuff in Gorilla, I don't think is a lot of the time anybody's business. But humanizing people like Charlotte Flair or Rhea Ripley and showing the human behind the character that they play on TV, I think that stuff's beautiful.
1:08:02I respect what you're saying about Gorilla, because there's no time to breathe. You have no time to breathe before or after now. I mean, to me backstage, that sounds like I'm not, listen, I'm friends with tons of the Blackhawk players. When we had that dynasty in the 2010s. Was that the 1920s? Yeah. We know Kano. Kano. We just had Kano on. We just had Kano on. His name's Kainer, I guess. Kainer, Kano. Battle Kano. I don't necessarily want to be in the room because I'm not, you know what I mean? Like, I'm one of those guys that if the Cubs are like, hey, we made you a World Series ring. I'm like, I didn't play.
1:08:36I don't necessarily want that. You should take it, though. Yeah, definitely take it. Take it at least. I did. AJ Persinski. But I think there needs to be, like, some sort of separation of church and state. Just a little bit. Leave a little for us. All right. This is us. This is what we do. A lot of it is, you know, should be secret. All right. Well, we appreciate the hell out of you. Good luck to you, man. Luck is for losers. Give it to Roman. He doesn't need it. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, you'll be taking on our tribal chief. Roll him up, boys. Our champion, CM Punk. Yeah, CM Punk. Thanks for having me, boys.
1:09:11You too, brother. CM Punk, back with WWE as a champion. He's a great American champion. Yeah. There is somebody who's a great, holy shit, Donovan McNabb. How you doing, Donovan? Good to see you. Great American what? The great American is back there, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's got a great American. What are you doing, Donovan? Are you selling anything right now? Yeah, living. Okay, good. Good to see you. There's a man in the back there from Indianapolis that we all saw. As he walked into the back of CM Punk. Did not want CM Punk and Dan. No, definitely not. Wait, they don't show? No. Definitely not.
1:09:45No, because he's a big producer. Can we grab Dan real quick? Will you grab Dan? Dan, please. Work might have turned into a shoot. Hey, how are you? Yes. Ladies and gentlemen. This is right. Ladies and gentlemen, a great American, Dan Dawkins. Yeah, Dan Hall. Darius Butler in the house with the great American penis. Boom, boom, boom. We can go home. We can go home. Yeah. Chicks swing, home run. Dan, we know you in Indianapolis, okay? We know you in Indy to be able to just one microphone, one guy, rile up an entire city, okay? An entire city. We got to watch that. We got to experience that. I as a player, D-butt as a player, we obviously want a weapon you have to be to be able to do that.
1:10:34Then you transform into, okay, I'm going to get into politics as well. And you've done the same thing over there, it appears. I do not dabble in that world, but I see you quote-tweeting the world that you're in. Your ability to just jump right into the fire, is that something you've always had? Because that's a big step going from sports to politics. Stephen A's doing it. Some other people are doing it. That's a crazy world over there. Have you felt that, or is that just kind of like you? Oh, it's crazier than this. You love it. Like, you know, when I was working with you guys at ESPN, you do a college basketball game, and I loved reading the tweets after and responding because I would have loved to have been – I love athletes.
1:11:11I love reporters, announcers, and I would have loved to interact. So I used to do that, and then people – one side would get pissed, the other side would get pissed, you're wrong, you're bad. But when you jump into politics, that's a whole lot of crazy. Like, I mean, crazy. Like, I got girls that I went to high school with screaming at me like, hey, blah. I'm like, hey, whatever. Good. Be mad. I don't care. But you love it, though, it feels like. You have to be cut out for that. I'm not. You are. You're absolutely. Who are you crapping here? Who are you lying to? No, you go to bat for me a lot, which I appreciate you doing that.
1:11:41What's that? You go to bat for me a lot, which I appreciate you doing that. Honestly, genuinely, I think that's because you know me as a person. I'll tell you a Pat McAfee story. True story. When you were drafted by the Colts, I was doing my radio show in Indy, and your dad hit me up. hey, can we get Pat on your show? And you came on my show, and you were awesome. Awesome. And I'll never forget, I went, hey, we got to have this guy on every single week. And your boy, Bill Pullian, said, hell no. And then there was a guy, Gerard Powers. Gerard Powers was on my show as a rookie. Awesome. And Pullian said, hell no.
1:12:19And then when I fell in love with you, and people in Indy will remember this, when you had your problem, allegedly, when you had your alleged problem, your apology slash Mia Copa, whatever you want to call it, was so awesome that I'm like, this guy, I'm all in. Now, we've had arguments about paying players and stuff like that back in the day. Yes, certainly, which humans are going to disagree, which I think in your world of politics now, nobody understands that. And when you have the great American penis, you just move it along. Exactly. I mean, you just move it along. Exactly. When you got the gap, you just continue on.
1:12:52Boom. Put it on his shirt. Hey, have a great Super Bowl week. Thanks, brother. See you guys. Love you, Dan. Love you. Dan just goes to war every day. Yeah. Yeah. We were at the national championship. Foxy and I were a pair. So we can explain. His house is half mile away from where the Thunderdome is. He has been a local Indianapolis sports talk show host, the biggest, for 20 years or whatever. So we know Dan Dawkich. Like, we know him very well. He's transformed into this world now. He's looking for him. Oh, yeah. I mean, somebody needs to hear it for the first time. I'm going to be the guy. And I'm always like, man, that's crazy.
1:13:33Because we get dropped into that world a little bit. Probably will just because of what he just did right there. And then it's immediately like, well, that's not what I said or did at all. Doesn't matter. No. Doesn't matter at all. It's like, that's crazy time over there. He has just swimmingly transitioned into that, I think. Yeah, but he's super into the gap. Foxy and I went into him. He just yelled it in our faces, told us we had him, which was awesome. And then Connor and Ty, I believe, went up to him. He did the same exact thing. He is a great American with a GAP. Okay. All right. We assume.
1:14:02I mean, that came out of nowhere as well. A.J. Hawk's here. Didn't get the intro. Oh, no. A.Q. Shipley's here. Good to see you, A.Q. Hey, boys. How we doing? Okay, so obviously you've had a chance to sit in a chair, not say much, go to the back, kind of come back out here, see a lot of things different happen. Let's talk. When you look at the Super Bowl this weekend, what is the matchup like for the trenches? Now, we're giving out the Protector of the Year award, I believe, on Thursday night. That's right. Shout out to offensive linemen getting awards that are presented from the NFL. We've been giving out the trenches, obviously, with you on top of the trophy for a while now.
1:14:31That's right. But we do appreciate the fact that it's happening. Obviously, none of the finalists are in the Super Bowl. What should we be looking at for the Super Bowl matchup whenever it comes to the trenches? I'm looking forward to this game. We've talked about it over and over again about who's going to be the better team. Obviously, New England is the underdog, but it's going to come down to the defensive lines. We've talked about that. We always talk about offensive lines. I think Seattle has a better offensive line. Younger offensive line probably will be very good at some point in New England.
1:14:58But the defensive lines, whoever win the interior matchups of the defensive lines in this game, is going to be the winner of the Super Bowl. Conway, you talk about the interior D-line. Last couple games, you've had to go outside, which necessarily New England, not at this stage of the build, is elite yet, I would say. Yeah, exactly. Houston and Denver in the divisional and the AFC title game for the New England Patriots. That matchup on the outside, all pros on both those defenses. And you mentioned it with Seattle. Their strength on their D-line is in the middle. So probably better for New England because that's where our strength on the offensive line is with Will Campbell being young, Morgan Moses.
1:15:31He's been great too. But, you know, that is where it's going to be won or lost. And hopefully it's New England. Congratulations to a couple of new head coaches. Clint Kubiak, the Raiders, him and Fernando. See what Clint did with Sam Darnold. Now, Kevin O 'Connell did that with Sam Darnold as well. So a lot of people would say, okay, Kevin O 'Connell, super genius, which we all said this year goes the way it goes for the Minnesota Vikings, how it is. But Kubiak being able to replicate and even go even further with Sam Darnold, certainly a special relationship. And what we've seen from Fernando, I think they're going to do well out there, especially with seemingly having to go all in.
1:16:07Yeah, Kubiak obviously been around his entire career. We know his pops. We know the family tree, and he's been a great coach. What he's done with Sam Darnold, KOC got him to a certain point, and then that's why the narrative was what it was with Sam Darnold, played his worst in the biggest games with the brightest lights, and it's the opposite of that this year. He's played his best ball in the playoffs throughout the season. He was still throwing interceptions, but once he got in the postseason, they've been dominant on that side of the ball. You mentioned the run game. If they have a run game in their play-action game, if that's all clicking, I mean, they are a tough, tough team to stop.
1:16:37Man, play-action for Fernando would be special, especially with his back shoulder abilities and being able to layer it right over the middle whenever the linebackers get all sucked up. So sucked up. So is it Kubiak or Kubiak? Ku. Kubiak. Kubiak. Well, congrats to Kubiak over there in Las Vegas. And also congrats to another LaFleur, Mike LaFleur, the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, that's right. Now, I didn't know what Mike LaFleur looked like until I saw a selfie video of him being pumped up about this one right here. Shout out to him getting the opportunity. Now there's two LaFleur head coaches out of 32 jobs in the NFL.
1:17:11Ty Schmidt, your head coach, Matt LaFleur, brother of Mike, flew from Green Bay down there for the opening press conference. Love to see the togetherness. And I love the fact that the LaFleur family is maybe becoming the family of football. Well, you know, I don't know. You know, Matt LaFleur said when they asked him if he could have ever imagined that him and his brother were both the head coaches in the NFL, what would he say? He said, I'd say you're full shit. And, you know, he said they come from humble beginnings. So we'll see. I don't know how often they're going to play each other. But I'll tell you what.
1:17:42You can tell, I think, two years from now, if the Cardinals aren't complete shite and he doesn't get fired, he's going to have that hair dialed in. He's going to, yeah, exactly. The eyebrows will be dialed up. Because we saw the kind of change in Matt LaFleur over his couple years in Green Bay. So I'm expecting him to look really, really cool in a couple years as well. Ladies and gentlemen, speaking of looking really cool, There's a guy who was described as the Steph Curry of football. Coming out of Alabama, people said, this guy's different right here. This guy's a different player. Obviously not 6 '10", like we saw with Joe Flacco earlier today.
1:18:18Has had an interesting ride to where he's at. Where's he at now? Carolina Panthers seemingly back. Him seemingly the franchise guy for Charlotte for the next 15 years. Out of Alabama, rolled tied. Quarterback for the Panthers, ladies and gentlemen, Bryce Young. Yeah, Bryce Young. Yeah. Taller, taller, taller. There you go. Taller than I thought. He's tall, of course. Hey, Bryce, I thought I was looking down here. Bryce, the way he was being talked about, I was looking down here. I don't get that very often. You're tall. I was literally looking down here. I was expecting you to maybe come out down here at the live from San Francisco.
1:19:01Just because the way it was talked about, that's not the case at all. No. That's not the case at all. So, Bryce, thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. What a run for you here in the NFL with the Panthers. Can you tell me how good life is whenever you guys are playing great ball and how good life has become down there with the Panthers towards the tail end of the season and what the future looks like for you guys? Yeah, it's a blessing. Yeah, I'm super blessed. I get to live my dream. I'm super grateful to be a part of the organization. It's a great locker room. I love the Carolinas.
1:19:31And, yeah, you know, it's been, you know, be able to have a little bit of momentum last year trying to build off of stuff. It was a lot of fun. And then now, you know, it's the new challenge. You know, every, you know, it doesn't – we're not entitled to anything. You know, it doesn't carry over. Everyone starts 0-0 next year. So, you know, we know the work it's going to take to try to keep building to take the next steps, and we're excited to do that. Incredible leadership there given every answer that you're supposed to give about what we did last year doesn't mean anything for next year and what the offseason is going to be.
1:19:56I love you doing that. Obviously, a front man. Sam Darnold was labeled ass, okay, whenever he was at the Jets. This guy's ass. He sees ghosts. This guy can't do shit. This guy is terrible at football. Obviously, he finds his way home here to the Seattle Seahawks, and he plays in a Super Bowl. Baker Mayfield, same exact thing. I think we've seen a couple different times where players have had to kind of get viewed as a bust or shit and then get an opportunity somewhere else and kind of rebuild. I feel like that is a perseverance thing that's kind of happening in the NFL right now. you seemingly from outside looking in do that with the carolina panthers do you feel like that has happened with your career do you think like at the beginning maybe not playing as well because entire team but also maybe not full grasp then have a little bit of a backup situation then you get a chance to go back in there and you kind of take over can you tell me about that evolution and do you think it's pretty similar to whenever guys have to get new spots if that makes sense yeah yeah i'm definitely always trying to trying to grow always trying to progress um of course you I'm always trying to be better.
1:20:53You look back and try to learn from stuff. I try to do that every single year. And for me, I'm not a big comparison guy throughout the league. I have a ton of respect for those guys you just named and a lot of respect for their perseverance, for the stuff that they've been able to do throughout their career. For me, I feel like everyone has their own journey. The NFL has so many circumstances. The margin barrier is so small. Because of that, you get so many different outcomes for individuals, for teams, for all that stuff. So for me, yeah, I try to run my own race, you know, try to be the best player I can be.
1:21:28And for me, I love the challenge. Like, you know, I've been blessed to be able to experience a lot of different things, to have adversity, to have highs, have lows. And I think at the end of the day, it makes me stronger. Yeah, your race is working, brother, because that stadium backed out. It wasn't that long ago when you were not going to be a good quarterback and 1 ,500 people were in the stands. It was never that bad. Hold on. I saw pictures, Bryce. We got to talk about these pictures. Okay, so I know the picture you're talking about. So we're playing Atlanta. First off, it's like a monsoon.
1:22:02It is pouring. It's not like it's just perfect football weather. Second off, that was taking like, I don't know, maybe like 90 minutes. Okay, 90 is a stretch. You're right, not 90 minutes. But it was well before the game. And that's not what it looked like when the game started. I'm not going to sit here and lie like it was sold out. But it's not what it looked like when the game started. Well, it's better for this comeback story, though. There's zero people in the stands. Now the place is kind of packed out. But I appreciate the fact you're number one overall pick. And as it was all happening, like, you never bitched, dude.
1:22:33Like, that is, like, incredible leadership, especially in the locker room. I'm excited to see you have success right now. D-Bud has a question for you, bro. Yeah, talk about success. You've handled success greatly throughout your whole career. You were the top guy in high school. You were the top guy coming out being the number one pick. And then you obviously had the setback where you got benched. then you bounced back. How was all that and what kept you there and then playing in this playoff game? You know, we talked about the environment, camp coming back, like just seeing that city. What was that like, that experience like as well?
1:23:00Yeah, yeah, definitely a journey. Like you said, you know, honestly, from a football standpoint, like kind of from high school on, yeah, truthfully, I didn't have a ton of adversity. You know, I was very blessed, had some really good circumstances, and that was from a football standpoint, you know, definitely that was a first. That was the toughest thing football-wise that I had to deal with. And, you know, in the moment, of course, I'm human. Like, you know, you're upset, you're frustrated, you're angry, you're confused. You're trying to, you know, you're trying to look back and figure things out.
1:23:29And during it, I tried to just challenge myself to, one, be consistent, and, two, to, you know, to grow, like to really try to let my ego go from it to I want to be the best team that I can. I want to look in the mirror. I want to go and work on things. I want to be consistent in how I work, how I prepare, all that stuff. and, you know, I'm a believer. I believe that everything happens for a reason. So for me, it was an opportunity to live that, you know. In football, you know, I've always believed it and said it, but, you know, God put me in that position to actually, you know, have to default to that, have to live to that, and I think it made me a lot stronger.
1:24:04And then playoffs-wise, it was just, I mean, it was just a ton of fun, you know, having that atmosphere in the Carolinas. You know, like you said, Cam coming back, that was really cool. That was awesome. And I was super, super proud of the team, you know, And it obviously didn't go the way we wanted to. And I was excited how everyone played. I loved how everyone stepped up. And what I really loved beyond that is no one was, like, happy, you know. Like, it wasn't like I know from the outside looking in the perception. For us, it wasn't like a consolation prize. It wasn't like, oh, we made it further than people thought.
1:24:34It was, you know, we were all upset in that locker room. Like, everyone looked and, you know, we're all, I wish I would have done this better. Everyone's wishing they did things better. And, you know, no one's satisfied. Again, you know, we still have the work to do. It doesn't entitle us to anything. But, like, it's a group of guys that are, you know, felt it and felt like we were close and we're upset. And there's no complacency, no pats on the back. So we're just excited to keep going. You guys should do a couple pats on the back, I think. Big time. You guys have the most wins as an underdog in a season in the Super Bowl era.
1:25:03So that means everybody thought you guys were shit going into games. And you guys win eight of those times where they thought you were going to lose. Most obviously tied alongside the 2015. What does that say? It's the name of the team winning 2015. It's in the record books. Yeah, nothing you can do about it. There's a Hembo stat. That's what the name was. It's in the history books. It has a picture of the helmet and everything. 11 other teams have seven. So you were counted out by the sports books, by the gamblers, by everybody. So the fact that you guys were able to do that, I think it's a beautiful thing because you weren't supposed to be as good as you were.
1:25:34You're ahead of schedule. Congrats to you. You talked about God putting you in a position to have to experience all the things that you've said as a coach. You know, the devil could have got in there too and had you fight Canales. Tell me about Canales a little bit and your relationship with him because that can certainly go sideways, especially with one of those situations being made with the number one overall. How do you feel about him? Because obviously he gets a lot of credit for what happened with Baker down in Tampa Bay, new head coach. How's your relationship with him? And what do you kind of see from him as a head coach?
1:26:00Yeah, when all that stuff happened, it was just important for me to trust the process, which, you know, I know is like a cliche, but like, you know, it's not easy to do. Like it's difficult. It was tough in the moment. But, you know, for me, I really just, you know, I really did want to challenge myself to do that. and for us over these last couple years it's been really cool just to see the the growth in our relationship I think you know he's a play caller so you know the the play caller QB relationship is always always huge and now knowing getting more time in the offense and the experience in his not just his system but his philosophy like you know as a I want to be extension of the coach out there so knowing what he expects knowing certain play calls it's not just one two three for the read, but really the intent of why he's calling it on this down and distance, why he's doing, you know, what he wants from this, what he expects from me as a leader, how he expects me to, you know, to run things on the side, all that stuff.
1:26:53So I think just being able to have more time doing that, being able to communicate with all that stuff, and really the consistency he has with me, with the entire team, it sets that example for all of us. Okay, so let's talk about it, because we have to talk about ball all the time in the microphones. So we would like to do it in a more accurate way. For sure. We say NFL quarterback much different than college quarterback. You obviously, one of the best field college quarterbacks, high school quarterbacks, you name it. You just mentioned everything about just Canalis' system, let alone being an NFL quarterback.
1:27:23What is the biggest difference that we should talk about as humans that talk about the transition of these rookie quarterbacks into the NFL from your perspective? What was the biggest difference? I think one of the biggest things was the communication piece. Now, for me, I know that they have headsets now. For me, we were all signals, and, you know, we were – it's the – I think the command and the communication is such a big deal. And the efficiency of the operation was another thing that, like, coming in was like, you know, at first I'm like, you know, I want to memorize the plays. Don't get this long play call wrong.
1:27:55Like, you know, I'm studying the playbook, and, you know, I'm going in thinking about it, getting it out, you know, trying to get emotional. And you look up, and there's six seconds left. And, you know, even sometimes when you can go, all right, we got to – you know, we're snapping it fast. whatever it may be, now, you know, you've got a good edge rusher that looks and sees the clock like, okay, now I know I've got to jump. You know, now, you know, defenses know when you're going to snap. They can disguise better, all that stuff. So I think the pace pre-snap was one of the biggest things. How quick can we get up?
1:28:21How quick can we diagnose? Can we get through these motions, these shifts? How can I use cadence to, you know, to help the O-line with, you know, pointing out where you need to go, help the back see it undress it, you know, give a sight to the receiver, whatever it may be. I think that was one of the biggest things. Can I hear a cadence right now? What's your go-to cadence? Go-to cadence? I think we're pretty standard. We're just, you know, pretty sadhat. Green 19, do you do it? Exactly. What are your – Yeah, we've been green 80. We've been green 80. Was that there? Green 80. Yeah, sadhat, green 80, green sadhat.
1:28:50Is that yours or theirs? Yeah, did you bring it or was it already there? No, they let me choose the number and the color. Okay, why did we do it? Why did we do green 80? We were white 80 before, but they didn't – I was like, oh, we can do white 80. They're like, we're not doing white 80. I was like, all right, cool, cool. So it's like you can choose another color, 80, you know, like 80 is good, and then pick another color. And I was just like, I don't know, green felt like positive. Go color. Let's go. Exactly. So that's what we're – And you can kind of growl it if you need to or quick with it as well.
1:29:19I'm excited to see the evolution of the cadence because you're talking about how much it matters to your development. AJ has a question for you. Yeah, what about Dan Morgan, your GM? I guess how it evolved – do you see him day to day? Probably in the weight room you guys see him multiple times, I would imagine. And are you guys aware of the monster he was on the field? Yes, yes, for sure. Of course, I mean, he's, yeah, obviously he was a legend there. So we all know that. But, you know, yeah, it's really great being able to work with him. And same thing, he really encourages, you know, us to be vocal.
1:29:49We sit down and have a lot of conversations. We're able to talk about a lot of things, which is really cool for me as a young player. You know, he values my opinion. We're able to go back and forth. Obviously, I, you know, I have a ton of respect for him and what he does. So just being able to for him to have that transparency with me, with all the guys, too. And that's that's the thing. You know, he's not someone that just stays upstairs and then you never see him unless you're you know, you only see him. You're getting cut or getting traded. He's not one of those guys. He's in the you know, he's in the in the cafeteria eating with all of us.
1:30:16He's sitting down. He has a relationship with a lot of the guys like and, you know, obviously he doesn't have to do that. He can sit up there and hibernate. But he comes down and make sure he builds a rapport with all of us, which is, you know, which is which is huge. He can do a little high castle judging up here. Has he blinked? Yeah, no, he's a, for him, for him, he's a, are you talking about? I'm talking actually blinking his eyes. Oh, actually, yeah, no, that's a, that's a great question. That's a great question. Yeah, I saw his opening press conference. I don't think he blinked. Oh, he could blink cut him off.
1:30:43It was 15 minutes. Yeah, he's an intense, when he needs to be, he's an intense guy, but also, like, super personable, like, you can. He's a player. Exactly, yeah, we've had a bunch of conversations that weren't just football, so, like, he's a, he's a good dude. Done a great job down there, all of you have. Ty has a question for you, Bryce. You've played with a lot of good receivers, but it feels like now you finally have like a bona fide number one in Tett McMillan. How much, you know, has he made your life easier and how much did you see him just like getting more comfortable as the year gone on?
1:31:12Yeah, I mean, he's been huge. I mean, you know, he's a special, special player, special guy. Yeah. When you're able to have have a guy like that, you know, makes my job so much easier. You know, a guy that you're seeking out one-on-ones with, a guy that you can, all right, we got a one-on-one, we can eliminate the field, we can eliminate the reads, we can go and attack, and we feel good about those matchups. For the offense, for everyone, you know, that opens up a lot of things, you know, it poses a lot of threats to defenses, to the D coordinator. So, you know, he's been huge for me, been huge for us as a team.
1:31:42You guys call him the Irish Oose? What do you call him? Just T-back. T-back. T-back's great, Nick. Thought he didn't like it. Yeah, yeah, he's a teammate. Hey, we'll follow your lead. Good command there on the team. Last question for you here. Have you heard about the charity shot yet? Charity shot. You haven't. Good. Connor has a question for us. Yeah, it's fantastic. You played both of these teams that are in the Super Bowl this year. What do you think their defenses do to kind of confuse the offense, and how do you kind of see that playing out on Sunday? Yeah, yeah, both really good defenses.
1:32:12You know, we played New England earlier on in the year. And that was week four, I want to say. And, you know, I think that was one of those first games where they, especially from a defensive standpoint, they obviously ended up being, you know, dominant all year. And they really kind of came together like you could see it. Because on film, you saw the little, like, glimpses and flashes of them playing really well. When they were on the same page, they were playing great. And they were, and I think before that, maybe they had like one or two little, like, plays on film. Like, okay, like, you know, if they, when they played us, they did not have any.
1:32:46They were clicking all of the stuff. And then that carried over, and that's kind of who they've become. So I think just the way they play together, you can tell they're very sound in their scheme. You know, they play a lot of, like, really complimentary football for both sides. And then also, you know, they're always understanding leverage. They're playing to their weaknesses. They do a great job. And then, you know, we just played Seattle a little more recently. And, you know, a really, like, really tenacious group, like really, really aggressive just from a – they kind of talk some of the most, and not in a bad, disrespectful way, but in like a – you could tell.
1:33:19Like they had an intensity about them. What did they say to you? They said some mean shit to you? No, they didn't say anything to me. But just as like – just, you know, all in all, like, you know, every play, you know, got a little something. And a lot of it really they were standing with each other, which I feel like is a great sign. Like there was a lot of communication with each other, a lot of hyping each other up, a lot of like – and, you know, those are the – you know, when you see great defenses, those are – they're always doing stuff like that. Really, really good in the box, really good front seven.
1:33:45Secondary is really good as well, played great. So two really good defense, two really good teams. So I'm super excited to watch this event. Super Bowl, baby. That's what it's all about. It has no BS if you were to look at it. I do appreciate the people that talk shit about the person to their friend. This guy's ass. Yeah. Jogging away. Bryce, you are not that. And we're very thankful that we've gotten a chance to kind of watch your story arc here through it all. And if you're able to bring the Carolina Panthers to greatness in the championship, so it sounds like your entire team is about, we can't wait to see that for all of Charlotte.
1:34:14Now, on the way out of here. Bryce and we appreciate that you're not here selling anything right? No. You look really cool though. It's all Jordan. It's all Jordan. This is Jordan. This is Jordan. Are you team Jordan? I am Jordan. Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. I appreciate it. Very proud. Since the rookie year. Yeah. Very proud. Very proud of it. Yeah. Yeah.
1:34:37So those shipments just come in and it's just boxes. Yeah. Yeah. It's love. It's definitely a blessing. Good for you, man. Wow, I don't even know if we need to go. I mean, time to show it. Gotta make it. Yeah, time to show it. Holy shit. For sure. Okay. Great segue. Great segue. Would you like the best ball first or last? Because I do believe you want a range finder with the balls that these are. We got gimmick balls here, okay? Okay, for sure. You will have to make it into this hoop right over here. Got it. It's three attempts at it. If you make it in the first try,$20 ,000 donation to a charity if you're choosing.
1:35:07Okay, for sure. Very cool of you to match, too. It's very nice of you. And then the second and third attempts will be worth$10 ,000 each to a charity of your choosing. The first one, if you are to make it, would be superhero like shit, I would say. For sure. Would you like best ball first? Yeah, best ball first then. Okay, I'm over there. You're standing up. No, no. I gotta sit down. I gotta sit down. Well, I got it. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. You'd be the first to stand. We didn't put it on the rules. Nope, it's not on news. No fire point. No asterisks. There we go. That's all I needed. There we go.
1:35:40I like that, by the way. I like that we're trying to. Can you keep that on though so we can talk shit in your ear while you do it? Do a hooper? You want to eat cheese? I had a prime back in the day. I'm a little washed out. What, were you a shooter? No, I think I've seen Clasher. Oh, yeah. We've seen Clasher. He can play. Great highlight film. Yeah, he can play. This guy in basketball. I think he's a sandbag. Yes, he's a sandbag. Yeah, he's got all of it. He's probably average 32 a game in high school. Also, by the way, tall. Yeah. Yes. Quarterback. Man, y 'all are nice here, man. I appreciate it.
1:36:10We were not though. Remember, that was a part of the conversation. There was a photo. It was the backpack. The backpack photo. You put this table on your back. It looked like that. We did not love it. We're like, this guy's gonna die. Happy that it's an oversized, fashionable backpack. Holy hell, that's a big backpack. Backpack of all time. Okay, that's what we need to know. We need everybody to understand that. All right. Now that we know you were kind of sandbagging and lying right to my face, which I do like for competitive advantages, I hope you can make this. You'll be the first one and maybe only one all week that will make this shot on the first try.
1:36:51Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers quarterback, will attempt to win$20 ,000 to a charity of his choosing as he's at the free throw line. Take it like a free throw line. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love your routine. Got the routine. Here we go, Bryce Young. Oh. He's deep, though. It was straight. It was straight. It was straight. That's a good sign for me. Same ball? I would love to. Fred Warner did not get that opportunity, so we are evolving the rules as we go. Yeah, but Fred was talking shit. He was. He was a little bit. And we're talking shit to him, and he's nice to us. Yeah. Nice price. Good.
1:37:23$10 ,000 donation. Yeah. That's all I needed. It was straight. That's all I needed. It was straight. It was straight. Never a doubt. We'll find a charity that you would like. You'll tell us off air. Congratulations on everything, and Team Jordan makes it. Yeah, of course. Of course. Yeah. And he averaged 52 in high school. Yeah, what did you average in high school? No, I didn't play in high school. That was junior high highlights we watched? Yeah, I gave it up. Jeez. Hey, you. I gave it up a little early. Good man. Well, good luck the rest of the way. We appreciate you making time for us. Enjoy Super Bowl week and soon, this can be your big story.
1:37:55That's right. That's the goal. That's the goal. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen, Bryce. Yeah, Bryce. Thank you, dude. Honestly. Thank you. Drain that. You're awesome. Yeah, Sean. That was smart. I mean, just a smart, heady play. Yeah, fantastic free throw. I get the same ball? Okay, yeah. Great shot. I can stand up too? I like anybody that's - I think standing is smart. Yeah. I like anybody that's trying to angle two wins. Technically, you can walk up there and dunk it. That was like a combine move, right? This should be a combine interview. Yeah, it is actually. We've been doing that. Basically what Sirianni did, right?
1:38:24Yeah, pop a shot. Yeah, didn't they do some sort of - Rock, paper, scissors? They were playing knockout. Gimmick, knockout. They were playing knockout. We'll find out here in a matter of minutes as Cooper DeGene will be joining us. Boom. And his basketball highlights are. Yeah. He might actually. Dunk from there. Yeah. He might. We didn't even think about it. We didn't put down. That's not a rule book either. Yeah. I mean, we flew over to White Martins. He just can't step on the cheese. Let's not. No, yeah. Screw up the point. I mean, on his way. We're talking about exciting white Cooper Jean.
1:38:52Yeah. That's true. He's. Yeah. That's what he's doing. I hope so. 48-inch vertical. I haven't been able to look out this way. You boys have been. and scanning every once in a while. Wednesday, obviously not the biggest day, but certainly some distractors have walked by, AJ. Who have you enjoyed seeing? I would like to say Kyle Long walked by. Oh, I missed Kyle. I didn't see him. He didn't even look. Didn't even wave. Not even a thing. I was like, excuse me. What is that all about? I made eye contact. Okay, he's tall. Very tall. Very slim. Great on a microphone, AJ. Anybody else that you've seen?
1:39:23You've got to jack up about it. That guy. Oh, Joey Porter. Sorry, Kyle. There he is. Yes. What up, Joey? Good to see you, man. Hey, can you get to this mic real quick? You look busy. You're Joey Porter. You got it, Mitt. Thanks, Mitt. Thanks, Mitt. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Joey Porter. Yeah! Super Bowl champion. Super Bowl champion, Pittsburgh Steelers. Hey, how do we feel about Big Mike? A lot of Yenzers were pissed early. Then they heard his press conference where he got emotional. Obviously, love is the city. What are your thoughts? And are you guys all going to still go back college? Well, yeah, absolutely.
1:39:56I mean, you know, you have our Tomlin guys who love Coach Tomlin. You know what I'm saying? It's different because he's family. But with Mike, he's a yenzer. You know what I mean? He understands what it is to be a Pittsburgh Steeler because he's been watching them his whole life. And like you said in that press conference, it showed that he's happy to be back at home. What are your thoughts on how the season went this last year? Still in it. Still in, obviously, way in AFC North. Yeah. You know, still have an opportunity, but never really felt like they were going to win a Super Bowl year. No, it was an up-and-down season because we never hit our strides.
1:40:30So even when we hit our stride and thought we was going to make a way, it ended how it ended, right? Like we was right there, could have went somewhere farther, but we won the division and didn't win the playoff game. Tone has a question for you, Joey. Yeah, I do. You got Matt Ryan at Atlanta now. He's in a president role. Chris Spielman, I believe, in Detroit. Dan Marito in Miami. Have you thought about taking a president role with the Steelers? You know, former player. I thought about just getting back in the building. Yeah. I feel like my presence is needed just to be back in the building. But, you know, to the powers that be, They know I want to come back home.
1:41:02So we'll see. Culture, part of the culture. Want to coach? What do you want to do? I would love to coach. I never want to stop coaching. But, you know, I can take any role. I just feel like having older Steelers in the building to know how it's supposed to go, what it looks like, I ain't going to hurt nobody. Especially with a turnover, I think that's not bad. And a kid. AJ has a question for you, Joey. What's it like watching your son play, especially for your team? It has to be awesome. Awesome, like you said. Undescribable. Like, Bruner, Mark Bruner, he's always asked me, like, every day, like, man, it's crazy.
1:41:30How do it feel? Now he has a son on the same team. And I'm like, what's your answer? He can't explain it. I was trying to tell him that it's unexplainable because, you know, every dad wants your son to be better than him. And my son is on a path to be better than me. And that's a dad's dream. Like, making it to the league is you guys know a lot of shit got to go right for it to happen. Yeah, a lot of stuff. A lot of shit got to go right. You got to have a lot of people pulling for you, and a lot of shit just got to happen your way. So to watch him have these opportunities, like I said, man, it's awesome.
1:41:59Shit, I'm fired up every weekend. You had to work his ass off, too. Absolutely. Absolutely. You don't just get handed it because your dad was a great football player. So, obviously, not easy. Go ahead. You kind of touched on it. Getting there is one thing, but staying there is much harder. I feel like this year he had his best year, pro bowl, all pro level type of year out there. Do you know kind of what changed? I know for him, I know it's obviously it's him and he's living his life, but how much conversation have you had throughout the, you know, involvement with what's going on with him day to day and week to week?
1:42:25Well, we talk football all the time, but I think, honestly, him having Ramsey there with him because his rookie year was Pat Peterson. Love Pat. I had Pat as a rookie. At that time, we had Pat. Pat wasn't doing number one corner stuff, right? So, J.J. had to follow and travel. So, his confidence grew. Then the next year, he was DB1 again, but you really never had that vet that's showing you how to be DB1. Everything that goes with it. You know what I'm saying? It's a certain way you work. A.J., know what I'm talking about. Pat know what I'm talking about. Like, when you're the number one guy, you lead everything when you're the number one.
1:43:05So then we had Ramsey, a true number one. He got to see kind of what it looked like. All-around football player. And I think when you're around somebody like that, it makes you step your game up. Because in his heart, he thinks he's number one. So it just iron sharp and iron. And with Ramsey being there, helped him become a complete football player. So I had Vinatari at kicker. Obviously, different world, but similar. I got to see Vinatieri like, hey, you're allowed to do this. You're allowed to do this. This is what this old-ass dude has been doing at the greatest level of all time. That is a weapon for any young player.
1:43:37They always say, like, be in the back pocket. Let's – last question here. The Football Town NFL Films documentary. I believe I saw you a part of it. I just seen you on there hosting it. Dude, that's going to be – hey, I don't know how much you know about it. I have not seen it either. I just did the voiceover. I think it's going to be epic. Like, I think it's actually going to be epic. I just got it sent to my phone. It was posted on your IG. And the first thing I seen was you narrating the whole thing. But this is what I'm talking about when we talk about Mike. You have to be in Pittsburgh to understand what we're talking about.
1:44:08I can't talk for a lot of different cities, but Pittsburgh in itself is a football city that's rooted different. The normal Yenzer is a different person. He's a different person. He's really psychotic about football. And if you live there, you will understand that immediately. Yeah. I was lucky to grow up there. I think a lot of us were. And we're lucky that you came through and did your thing. And now your boy's doing it. We appreciate you, man. Pat, appreciate you, man. I'm ready to come on the show. Okay, you're on it right now. Literally.
1:44:37You went into the Steelers, right? You went into the Steelers' ring of honor this year? Yes. Congratulations. Appreciate you, brother. The speech you gave to the team or the fans, I forget what it was, where you were like, we feel like we did our job. We put a trophy in the building or whatever. That was cool. I think that hit home with a lot of like injuries because it feels like we appreciate that you thought that was your mission. Your team was to bring one home and hopefully seven come someday soon. When you have that many trophies in there and you know like Pittsburgh we bring a lot of guys back.
1:45:05You're going to see Mel Blunt before Franco pass. You're going to see a lot of history that always come back in the building. And the only way you respect that history if you're part of it you got your own trophy in there. Because like you can be great. We love you. But if you ain't give us no trophy, you're just another one of our good players that we ain't going to mortalize you. We're going to like you a lot, but we ain't going to dip you. If you get the trophy, then you get dipped. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we appreciate you getting immortalized in Steelers lore forever. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe.
1:45:33Yeah. I saw Juice walk by. He looks incredibly handsome. Shocked. So, Jack, I just saw him and George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey and Emerald golfing shirtless out there. Yeah, that's right. Picking up tan. You saw. People are making fun of Yushek, too, on the internet. He's not carrying water, either, for Kittle and McCaffrey and Purdy. And that's not why he's getting invited on vacation. No, he's one of the greatest players in history. Exactly. I saw people tweeting about it. It was bullshit. AQ literally said to me, he's the greatest fullback of all time. Yeah. First ballot in the Hall of Fame.
1:46:03He's got 11-time Pro Bowl. 12, maybe, at this point. Yeah, I don't even know what it is at this point. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is a man who's on his way to have a similar-type career run. Now, he's breaking down barriers. every time he goes onto a football field. That's right. You watch him in high school playing basketball. He's taking off from a foul line. Oh, yeah. You check your screen. The hell is that guy doing that for? Yeah. And you saw him in Iowa. Same damn thing. Gets the NFL. Going to get cooked. Has to. Has to get cooked. That's mayonnaise on a sandwich, brother. And that thing's getting toasted.
1:46:38Like it's Subway. That's what they're going to say. Instead, this guy goes on to be an all pro. He made the all everything DB team. Right. Talking about being one of the greatest, maybe of all time when it's all said and done, one of the exciting whites, DB for the Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowl champ, Cooper Dejean. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:47:02Thank you, dude. I've been drinking beers. This has got to be better. Wow. Do you got chocolate one? You got chocolate one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Choco. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the ultimate nutrition. You can put that in. Hey, thank you, Coop. Thanks for bringing six.
1:47:20No, yeah, that one's good. Hey, happy Super Bowl week, dude. Happy to be here. Wish I was playing, but. You have already done that, obviously, in your very new career in the NFL that you have taken the world by storm. I just mentioned it there a little bit. Thank you for being a trailblazer, brother. I'm just trying to do my part. No, no, it's really helping. I want to let you know, it is really helping a lot of things. You made all everything DB team. First caucusoid to ever make that. I heard. Yeah, congratulations. I appreciate that. Thank you. It's my highest honor. It is one of them. I think there's only certain people that get on that thing.
1:47:55You go to Iowa. Iowa boy. Crush it at Iowa. It's Big Ten football, though. Okay, we don't got a lot of 4-2s running around, 4-3s running around. You know, so obviously the question is, obviously this dude is not going to be able to do it in the NFL. You get to the NFL, how quickly do you realize, like, okay, I am going to be able to play here? and what is kind of the development for you from first day in the NFL to where you are now? Yeah, it's night and day, I think. You go back and watch my first preseason game I played as an NFL player. It was one of the worst football games I've ever played in my life, probably.
1:48:26To see the growth from then to now is crazy. It's just a lot of work put in, time, a lot of great people behind the scenes helping me out to help me get to the spot I'm in today. And now we've got to keep improving. What do you learn? You learn route concepts? You learn tendencies? Is all that shit happening at this rate? How do you feel the brain is really executing in the NFL? A lot of it's mental and understanding what you're looking at on the field in terms of film study, understanding the offense you're playing, what type of scheme they run. And obviously my position, understanding the run fits and being able to play the pass, both, you know, all in one.
1:49:12But I'd say it's more mental when you get to the NFL from college. They used to tell stories in DB rooms about Jordy Nelson. They would tell tales of Jordy Nelson and say, hey, this one, this one's different. We need to watch it. Feels like DBs are saying the same thing about you, Cooper. Darius Butler has a question for you. Absolutely. You hit the ground running. I don't know what your expectation was coming into the league. Like, did you want to play outside or did you know you were going to play inside? So I want to know that. You've done an amazing job at it, especially being a young guy playing in that slot.
1:49:44You've got to communicate coverages, run game, all of that stuff. So what's that transition kind of been like doing that part as a young guy, as a rookie now, second year? And then what was it like talking about this week? Like you had your biggest moment, your best play in the biggest moment, pick six Super Bowl. What was that feeling like as well? Yeah, I think coming in the NFL, I really didn't know what position I'd play. You know, I feel like I could play any three positions in the back end. You know, but obviously they put me in the nickel spot, and I feel like that's my best position, you know, being able to play the run and cover.
1:50:18I feel like with my ability, I feel like that position fits me. And then going to last year, the Super Bowl, I mean, it's a crazy week, first off. going through all the media stuff and things like that, but then it gets down to the game. It's probably the most butterflies I've ever had for a game was the Super Bowl, but then to have that moment being able to score on my birthday in the Super Bowl was crazy. Yeah, you did. Check the box. Had the NFL career, had the moment. That's all we need. However long we play, we already got it figured out. By the way, this is not ass. It's not ass at all. I would drink a kind of warm beer for the last from Joe Montana's shop.
1:51:01Oh, I thought it was cold. It was. It was. It was. I was like, I don't have to go. The mixture of the two is good. I've been sipping on Optimum Nutrition, the chocolate protein shake that came through in such a delightful way. Really saved my palate from not having to spit dirt. Cooper DeGene is a new partner of Optimum Nutrition. Cooper uses Optimum Nutrition gold standard whey protein powder. He relies on a product to support muscle recovery after games and intense training sessions. So this is what it is. Wow. We've never seen this before. Seems like this. I'm a nutrition baby. Is this what it was?
1:51:32Were you drinking this in high school when you were taking off from the foul line like that? I did drink it in high school, yes. Oh, so this is literally the. That's. Oh, okay. All right, Caucasians. The elixir. Going forward. Feels like this is what we're needing. Why'd you laugh? Right there. Why'd you laugh? Hawkeye. Yeah, D-butt. Enough with the racism. Ty Schmidt over there, Iowa Hawkeye, has a question for you. Yeah, you know, a lot of people who aren't from Iowa or aren't a fan of the Hawks, you know, they feel one way about them, think they know. I think you being a former Hawk, you have a lot of pride in the program.
1:52:02I have a lot of pride in being an Iowan. When you look at all the success that guys from Iowa have had in the NFL this year, you and Jack Campbell, two, you know, first-team All-Pros, I think they had five Pro Bowlers. How much did being, you know, going through that whole Iowa program, like how much did that actually prepare you to succeed early in the NFL? Yeah, I think it's run like a like an NFL NFL organization the way you know coach parents coaches and The things he teaches us about football and in about life I think is is good, you know it it it turns you into a man You know I think going through that program you don't see it a lot nowadays because everybody's leaving you know For different schools when they're not playing, you know, so you don't really get the development You know, but I wouldn't be the football player.
1:52:45I am today without you know going to the universe University of Iowa It was a dream of mine as a little kid to play at that school. And, you know, Coach Ferentz and Coach Parker, I think, two of the best to do it. Go Hawks. We continue digitally. We'll see you tomorrow from Radio Row. Okay. That was – Wow. You nailed it. Perfect timing out of you. I'm sure you can dance well, too, which obviously would not be talked about much, you know, in the entire thing. Jump high. Yep, that's right. Run fast. Yeah, check all the boxes. Dance as well. Coach's kid. First in, last out. Lunch pail guy. Oh, yeah.
1:53:17You have all of them, bub. Sure. For sure. I appreciate that, though. How about that punt return? Was that a touchdown? Yeah, it was. Bullshit. Don't bring it up. Still makes me sick to this day. What you do? You wait for a fair catch. Don't wait for a fair catch. It's not a problem. Is that what happened? No. I wasn't waiting for a fair catch. Thank you. Unfortunately. And then they let him run it back for a touchdown. Get him winded. Don't call anything on the field and then go back to. That's not even what they were reviewing the play for. Exactly. So. What do you mean they weren't reviewing the play?
1:53:44First thing I thought. See if I stepped out of bounds. And then they came back with, I've never heard of the invalid fair catch call before in my life, to be honest. Before that day. I think we actually have a video of it. Here's Peter. Peter. Peter. What? If you're a ref on the field. That's crazy. Lost the game because of it. He won in the game. Remember, this was when the Iowa Hawkeyes were a rugby team. Remember, they weren't playing offensive football. And he was scoring on special teams and the defense. He was going to play on offense. I think, yeah, we would have went like 11-1 this year if we didn't get fucking robbed in this game.
1:54:17I'm excited for this, for the Iowa team now. Yeah, is that right? Indiana. The boys are playing some ball. They are playing some ball. I'll give it to Indiana. It was kind of, yeah, I don't know. We'll see if they can keep going. Iowa nipping on the heels of Ohio State, though. Is there different tiers now all of a sudden? Yeah, I've heard it. See, we got them. Yeah, we're coming, baby. How's life as an NFLer? I mean, it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun, I think. It's a lot more fun than being in college. You don't got to go to class. You just do football all day. Watch film. Hang with the boys.
1:54:51Really do whatever you want, especially in the offseason. It's nice. What are some hobbies at Cooper DeGene? I'm a big golfer. I love to golf. I assume you're very good. I'm a seven handicap. Young in the NFL career to be a seven already, it feels like. Yeah. But it's tough. You know, you go six months without playing, and then you got to try and pick it up again. You shoot dice, craps? I play blackjack. Hell, yeah. I don't shoot dice, but. I like that. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. What's the locker room's like? I didn't know. What is the locker room? Holy shit. I don't know if we can say that.
1:55:24Okay, good, good. Hey, good question, actually. Hey, you guys hate each other? What the fuck goes on with your locker room? Why is it? Who hates each other? Your locker room. Your locker room. I watch Hard Knocks. I don't see it. They must be editing it out. Exactly. But then every day I hear you guys hate each other. Sirianni's a buffoon. They had the happy bunny. Had to bring in the positivity bunny. Yeah, in the locker room. Slash his throat after you guys lost. Can you tell us what it's like in the Philadelphia Eagles locker room? Because Sirianni seems hilarious but also has the boys rallied.
1:55:50But outside, they want him dead. And then players obviously have situations at all like you guys hate each other. Is that all noise outside that you guys don't hear? Like how do you kind of manage? You're young in the league, so you probably shouldn't, I guess, talk about it. I don't know what other locker rooms are like, But I feel like this is probably one of the most, you know, close-knit locker rooms I've been around in my entire career. I feel like you don't see that a lot in the NFL. You know, even in college, it feels like I'm in a college locker room just with the way the guys are, you know, talking, hanging out outside of football, going out on the golf course, joking around, doing all the fun stuff together.
1:56:26It feels like you're in a college locker room. I feel like you don't get that everywhere in the NFL. Do you guys play cards a lot in there? Play cards, yeah. We, I don't know if I can. You're allowed it's all for M &M's. M &M's. M &M's. Yeah, for M &M's and stuff like that. Yeah. That was awesome. You don't have to sing anything else. Okay, they're playing Boo Ray in there. You got a little tank game going on. We got some games. That's good, by the way. I think we should be promoting more of that. It seems like a lot of it. It's one guy that's always around, the big Dom. Tell us about big Dom.
1:56:55I just saw him, I think, on the senior bowl on the sidelines. Yeah, right in front of the camera. He was at Raw, I think. Yeah, Monday Night Raw. You don't understand. As an Italian, we understand what Big Dom's doing, okay? Tegene, I don't know if that's Italian or not, but you know what Big Dom's doing. I'm Italian, I don't think. But if, I mean, if you're coming to the city of Philadelphia, that's one guy you call right there. He's got it all. You need a reservation. You need a cheesesteak. You need a car. What's your favorite? You need a car. Talk to that guy. Yeah, talk to Big Dom. What's your favorite cheesesteak?
1:57:24Ooh. I'm an Angelo's guy. Personally, to be honest, I have not had a lot of other cheesesteak places. I've had Del Rossi's, Angelo's. There's a new spot, Skinny Joey's. Oh, is that thin bread? Is that thin bread? What is Skinny Joey's? It's the seeded bun. The semolina bun. Do yourself a favorite, get D 'Alessandro's. D 'Alessandro's? D 'Alessandro's. I've heard of that. I have not tried it yet. It's up by Delco. A lot of John's floating around. It ain't new. You drop John in your daily life now? You say John? It's made its way in there, yeah. What about water? You do water, too? I'm still a water guy.
1:58:04I haven't gotten to water yet. Do you want to talk about your public relationship or no? I don't think I have a public relationship. There you go. All right. Awesome. Let's move along. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time. The internet talks about it. Yeah, they do. By the way, happy for you. Whatever the hell you want to do in your life, you've earned. Hell yeah. Appreciate that. You need to know that. Appreciate that. You've worked your ass off to get here. That means a lot for me, yeah. And you have good celebrations. Great. Keep them up. And also, tell Blankenship, it's a compliment when they come up to him and say, Coop, what up?
1:58:36And he's like, the other one, the other one. Is that the full one, do we know? Shooting hoops? What we got? Charity super shot. Okay, listen, Cooper, did you know that? Where am I shooting from? Right there. Oh, right here. Now, granted, you take that however you want.
1:58:55Am I shooting? Hold on, Coop. Jeez. Don't jump the gun. I'm ready to go. Cooper DeGene, who is a high school basketball legend, a man who now has a pick six in the Super Bowl, is an all-pro, and one of the only members in the history of the... I think the only. Caucasian to be on the All-Everything DB team. Wow. That's a tough team to make it to. Yeah, it is. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. You don't get a trophy. Oh, that's all right. You just get on a graphic. We can send you the graphic. Yeah, I'll take the graphic. Maybe apply. Oh, maybe we can sell it to you, actually, because wasn't that a thing when people were selling pictures of stuff?
1:59:30Yep. It's a genius. It's one of a kind. Can I screenshot it? No. No, no, no. No, no, that's not it. Cooper Jean, obviously you Philadelphia Eagles legend, potentially first ballot Hall of Famer if everything continues to go the way that it's going currently. No pressure. Don't fuck it up. You're representing an entire race at a position that we have not had a lot of folks in its history. What we need you to do now is potentially showcase that high school basketball ability and make one shot from that particular area, okay, into this hoop over here. Now, it is a gimmick state fair basketball. So if you were able to make it on your first shot without feeling that ball, we'll give$20 ,000 to a charity you're choosing.
2:00:05Yeah, I was going to say. All right. Rookie contract won't be asking you to match it. $20 ,000 to a charity of my choosing. Yeah, if it's first shot. Second and third shots will be only a$10 ,000 donation because you're an athlete. This is a range finder, this first one. If you were able to bury this, I think it would be a modern marvel in the feat of athleticism. But that is. Sitting down? What you are. Yeah, that's what we're looking at. All right, here we go. You can do whatever you want. You ready? For$20 ,000. Oh, that was good. I'm on the field ball. The liner. Couldn't get as much arc as I wanted.
2:00:34Bill Ball. Bill Ball. Throw it. You throw it, Bill. Bill Ball. Good pass. Wow. Coop, we all kind of needed that. Yeah. You are a one. He's dialed in, too. It was a little short. Hold on. We got another one. Yeah, hold on. All right, Gary Vee will make it. The great white hope there. Yeah. What? The amount of things that I would be saying. Us white guys are supposed to be able to shoot, too. Yeah, exactly. Kind of the thing. The whole point. Yes. Okay, this one$10 ,000 donation to a charity of your choosing. You can make the world a better place, Mr. Cooper DeGene, Super Bowl champion. If you're able to put that gimmick basketball into that hoop right over there.
2:01:14Man. Never a doubt. Man. Let's go. Never a doubt. Congratulations. One more shot. That's why that first one, that first one, no chance. You've never felt a ball that light. You've never shot a ball that light. I haven't. Yeah, so if you would have made the first one, that's why I was so devastated because the things I would have been saying about you forever would have just continued. But now we know one range finder. No problem. Just like Bryce. Exactly. $10 ,000 donation. Keep doing what you're doing, man. I hope you enjoy the hell out of the entire ride. Thanks for having me. Are you guys going to be good again over there in Philly, you think?
2:01:45Yeah. Yeah. You just got to wait. Just got to wait. We'll see. We'll see when it comes next year. What are your thoughts on Fangio? I love him. Great coach. One of the best I've been around, I think. the way he coaches and what he's been able to do, the way he calls plays. Hopefully he's got a couple more years in him, I think. What about how was Coach Parker? I think I saw you and a lot of other guys around the league send out great messages once he took that job in Dallas. What are the Dallas Cowboys getting out in their new D.C.? Yeah, it makes me sick kind of that he's going to Dallas. But he's a great teacher, great teacher.
2:02:20I've learned a lot from him technique-wise and film study-wise that I never learned before I got to Philly. And he really took me and Q under his wing and taught us a lot. Made us in part of the players we are today. So I'm excited for him, though. He deserves it. I'm excited to see what he does. See him twice a year. Is that a Nike Tech right there? It is, yeah. Nike Tech. I see one of those. Different shade of gray. Yeah, it's coming out of a different country. Just got it a couple days ago. Oh, really? They've been sold out. All right, we're going to take a break and come back on the other side to wrap up this glorious first day from Radio Row.
2:03:01Congratulations to this man and Optimum Nutrition. It's good, delicious. It is very delightful. 40 grams of protein? That's a lot of protein. Two grams of sugar. That's it? Two grams of sugar. Take that. The ready-to-drink Optimum Nutrition 40-gram protein shake is a convenient option for Cooper, especially on busy travel days. Yeah, I get that. Or when he's on the move, which always gotta be. Always on the move. Once you stop moving, they're gonna say you're gonna be like the rest of us. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with what you guys are doing? I'm slow. Okay. So is he? Yeah, very slow.
2:03:37A couple bumps on a line. I'd rather be you. Yeah, we're all trying. Bingo. That's what we're talking about. Cool the dunk. All right. Okay, Coop, let's understand the reality of who you're doing. We are living vicariously through you. Every time you and Blankenship are flying around back there, it's like, holy shit. Yeah. Dave, we appreciate you. What kind of athlete were you back? Were you a basketball player back in the day or no? No, I could shoot, though, pretty good. Basically everything I'm pretty good at, but not great at. Does that make sense? Yeah, that makes sense. Like tennis, I could probably steal a win over somebody who wasn't a professional.
2:04:08Yeah. Ping pong, same thing. I guess, yeah. How about you? All those things, you're great at all those things. I don't know if I'd say great at all of them, but maybe a couple of them. Ping pong, you're pretty good? I can play ping pong, yeah. Iowa kids, so cold out there. Get in the garage. Bingo. Got to do what you got to do. Are you a good server? Are we doing spin? Are we doing power? What are we? It depends. Power. You can put a little spin on it. Serve it up high. Throw them off a little bit. You got to switch it up. What do you mean? We'll have to play sometime. Maybe I'll show you. You have to throw.
2:04:39I think I'm going to find myself not in a competition against you. For a few years. Maybe 20. Maybe 20 or so. But I would certainly love to watch you dominate other people. That maybe becomes Caucasian Olympics. Yeah, there you go. All right. We appreciate the hell out of you, Cooper. You're the man. Thank you, guys. We'll be back on the other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change your life. That's Cooper DeGene. Yeah, Cooper.
2:05:07Football. It's the greatest. I have a lady standing right here in front of the stage here that says, let me shoot a basketball at the hoop. She is roughly. Why don't you go right here? I don't know your name. She's in a USA jersey. Why don't you go? Yeah, right over here. Right over here. Here we go. Oh, man. Four seconds. Move left a little. Yeah, you're going to be right over there. No, no, no. What's that brick? Remember, we have that piece of wood. Right there. All right. What's your name? Hold on. Hold on. We've got to turn this on. Mobile guest mic. It's still on the handheld guest mic. They'll turn it on in the back, maybe.
2:05:51No. Can we get the. He's looking on. We're trying to. We didn't think we're actually going to have to use. Sure. Sure. First name is Amber. See if that works. Does it work now? Testing, testing. There you go. There you go. Okay. We can hear you. What's your name? Amber Clark Robinson. Okay. Where are you from, Amber Clark? Greenville, North Carolina. Okay. What are you doing here? I'm here with Team USA Football. Okay. So are you part of the team? Yes. I'm the safety. Hell yeah. Boom. Boom. Let's go. When are we playing who? When are we beating the rest of the world? When? Germany. This August.
2:06:23World Championships. Yes. Okay. So, Germany's in it. How many other teams are in the World Championship? Roughly, I think, 16 to 20. Okay. So, I was a part of a Super Bowl commercial that was trying to get high school girls flag football certified in all 50 states. Feels like we do have positive momentum for it. Yes. Is that how I should be talking about it? Yes, there's 16 teams, maybe 17, I think, states that have flag football. And I'm also a college coach at a D2 organization. So they have them at all tiers right now. Okay, so you're the safety for the? U.S. USA football. Adult team? The women's team.
2:06:56The women's team. Okay, and we're the best in the world. Say it again? We're the best in the world. Oh, yes, of course. Hell yeah. Who's our quarterback? Vanita Crouch. Oh, I know Vanita. I've seen Vanita. And you did the commercial with my teammate Ashley Clam. Okay, and I don't want to talk about it, but Diana Flores, hell of a player down there in Mexico. Yeah, she's a Mexico quarterback. No disrespect to the other teams. No disrespect at all. We could. But we can. We can. Do the disrespect. We can. We will do the disrespect. We're here for America. We are here for Diana Flores. So I happened upon the same hotel gym as her.
2:07:26Yeah. She was on treadmill when I walked in there, did my whole workout. I left. She's still on the treadmill. She's a player. Yeah, she's a real problem. Mexico's got a problem with quarterback. Now, Vanita Crouch, though, legend. Take her out. Legend. Yeah. She's got a release point right here. So in August, we're beating Germany. Yes. Okay. Now, are you a hooper as well? Yes. I grew up playing basketball since I was six. Okay. This ball is nothing like a basketball. I know. It's kind of a gimmick ball. Okay. Put it on your left shoulder there, by the way. Vanita Krauts needs to do the same thing, especially if you're holding a microphone on the right side.
2:08:02Safety for the U.S. women's flag football team. Yes. Which is going to win the world championship coming up here in? August. Where's that at? In Germany. Dusseldorf, Germany. Wow. Oh, guten Tag. Yeah, we're coming in. Yeah, let's go. Hey, let's go beat them. Let's go. Hey, it's a tough barn. It's a tough barn. It's going to be a tough crowd. Yeah. Düsseldorf is loud. Yeah, Düsseldorf is. They bring it. Yeah, they do. They have good pretzels. Yes, they do. Beer or two. Beer or cheese. Yeah, I don't know what you're going to be doing over there. Your booze is pretty good if you'd like to, Amber.
2:08:31But, okay, if you make that shot right there, what is the deal? Literally, as we're coming back live, lady in USA Jersey is screaming at me. I say, sounds good. We do the thing. Now we're here, so we haven't really worked this out. What would you like to do for this shot here? Yes, so I watch College Game Day faithfully every Saturday. We appreciate it. And I see that you give away a good amount of money, you know, to make a field goal. Yeah, decent, yeah. I just won$20 ,000. Okay, you won$20 ,000? Wow. And it was very nice of you to say earlier, too,$20 ,000 to charity as well. So this would be a$40 ,000 shot?
2:08:59Yes. Okay. All right. Okay. One shot. Hey, I'm not doing this shit. I'm not just one. I'm not doing it. One more shot. No, no, no. One more shot. No, no, no. No, I'm not doing that, okay? I am not doing that. Okay, okay. One shot. Okay. For USA. For sure. For you, for sport, for right there. Okay, good luck, Amber. All right, thank you. Here we go. Here we go, Amber. Here we go, Amber. Here we go, Amber. That was so fun.
2:09:29You missed it. Bonus fall, bonus fall, bonus fall, bonus fall. Last shot, don't shoot it yet. We'll give you one more. Hold on. We got to reset the rules here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to reset. What do you think? You just get a range founder, and then you just go right back in there? I don't know. We got to kind of wait this thing out a little bit. Okay, this will be for, yeah, I think we do the same. Okay. Yeah, same. Yeah, I think same. Maybe 25 and 25 actually make it 50. Okay. Okay, so this will be for 50 ,000 total. And I would like to let you know I'm going to be like Dusseldorf. You get this wrong, I'm kicking you out of town.
2:10:03Yep. Okay. Yeah, hell out of the whole convention center. I don't want to do it. Nope. But that's the pressure that's on the line here. You're going to come through. 50 ,000 hit. Oh, no. He's got blocked. That's illegal. That's illegal. That's illegal. That's illegal. That's not true. That is not true. That is illegal. You got to take that into account. Yeah, that's part of it. That's sad. That law was not there. That's a bummer. That's a bummer. Fair game. Yeah, you got to keep an eye out. The camera's broken now. Yeah. That's part of it. I'm sorry, I cannot afford to pay for that camera if I break it.
2:10:39That's the camera? Last shot. Okay, hey, one more, one more. Here we go. This is it. This is it. No light, no camera, no nothing can save you.
2:10:52What? Hell yeah. Wow. Congratulations. That was incredible. Hey, for the good of America. Yeah. For the good of hoops, for the good of flag football. That was awesome. The boys were celebrating. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, nice. Great job. Geez. That was a huge shot. That was unbelievable. That was awesome. That was a gigantic shot. Wow, fantastic. Thank you so much. Hey, good luck in Dusseldorf. Go get him. Bet you're going to have to get her information. Somebody has to find out who's, her stuff. Mitt's all over. Mitt's got it. Dominate Germany. Dominate everybody. Yeah. Wow. We got a good record.
2:11:27I felt like she was going to make that. Yeah, undefeated actually. I would hate it over there. Now on that note, yeah, that was a big one. Thank God. Yeah. Thank God. Yeah. Yeah. Holy shit. High stakes. Hey, need you. Need you. Hey, how's it going team? Good to see you guys. I don't know. These people are famous and important. I appreciate you all celebrating with Amber. Yeah. Had to. Oh no. She's bypassed me. Wow. She's bypassed me. That plays for you though. She went right there. He kind of snuggled in as she was over here celebrating. I did one of these. I'm kind of - Unreliable. This month?
2:12:07I did one of these. Really? I think it was reverse. I think it was reverse. Don't bring it up, he doesn't want to talk about it. I think it was reverse. On this note, ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, Super Bowl champion, head coach, formerly of the Indianapolis Colts. Now, we see him every Sunday with NBC, ladies and gentlemen, the legend, Tony Dungy. Hey, Tony. Hey, Pat, how you doing? What do you say, guys? Coach, fantastic. I don't know if you saw our safety for our women's. I just saw it. Unbelievable. That was a big moment. Pressure. Pressure shot. Yes. Certainly. How do you feel about everybody up here getting up to celebrate with her except for this guy right here, Coach Dungy?
2:12:40Wow. Maybe just focused on business. That's it? Yeah. Okay. Okay. That's it. That's it. Thank you, Coach. That's right, Tony. Okay. NBC obviously has a Super Bowl. You guys are going to do an incredible job. How do you feel about the season? I think you guys personally, Football Night in America, the split thing at the stadium and then back in the studio, such a flawless, smooth show. I think you guys crush it. And then obviously for the Super Bowl you're going to do the same. But what is your thoughts on this year for the NFL as a whole as we lead into the biggest game? Well, it's been an exciting year.
2:13:11I'm really fired up to see these two teams that have kind of been on a turnaround. New England, one-year turnaround. Seattle, two-year turnaround. And it just shows you, I think, what leadership can bring. and if you're dialed in and together, what can happen? And it's been a great story from both cities. Sam Darnold, everybody said he was ass, Coach. They were saying, this guy's ass. They were saying he's a bad football player. He goes to Kevin O 'Connell in Minnesota, obviously has an incredible season last year. They move on from him because it ends bad, and they got a young J.J. McCarthy. Now out there with Kubiak and this McDonald guy, almost a second career happening for him in front of our eyes.
2:13:48Your thoughts on that story for other footballers maybe in the future? I think what it tells you is don't go by other people's opinions. And Seattle, they had some track record with Sam. Clint Kubiak coached him. He said, I know what this guy can do. Let's go get him. And we're not going to worry about what other people think. He's our guy. I was at their training camp in July, and you could see the team had rallied around him. They believed in him. And like Ernest Jones comments, you talk about my quarterback, you better look out. You know, that's the kind of feel they have for him, and he's shown them that he's their guy.
2:14:24That's a quick culture flip over there for McDonald's. It has been. How do you think he was able to do that? How do you get everybody to buy in and believe so quickly, you think? I think it's just who he is. And he came in and said, here's how we're going to do things. This is the way I'm going to do it. And if you're on board, you're going to be here. If you're not on board, I'll help you get someplace else. Last question for me before the boys have a couple. New England's back. Same thing. Coach Vrabel has said, this is how I see this team functioning. I'm going to turn the leadership over to you players.
2:14:55You've got to be part of it. But we're going to do this together. There's no star system, no people that don't count. Everybody's important. And being at their practice, you can see it, too. You can see the teamwork, the chemistry, the love they have for each other. And to me, it's two teams that just have heart. A lot of people are saying New England Patriots are back. You know, Jace, great. You obviously in the news right now because of what you said this morning about the Hall of Fame vote. What did I say? Yeah, exactly. You said, let's just wait and see who's in the Hall of Fame. That's what you said.
2:15:24That was what you said. But it got obviously because of what happened with the voting this year with Bill and now with Kraft, which I don't know how we found out before. Let's just say this. Go ahead. All this is speculation right now. We don't know who's in and who isn't. Everybody's saying it. I'm a voter. I haven't been notified that anybody's in. Last year, I was disappointed in the process. My class 10 years ago was eight people. Okay. Last year, we selected four people, half the size. We had four empty slots, and Adam Benatieri did not get in. So I'm saying, how does that happen? Now people are starting to speculate, well, it might happen again.
2:16:03This isn't the first year it happened. It happened last year. So we'll see what happens and figure it out from there. but we've got to change the voting process. Okay, so I appreciate what you're saying because everybody immediately said whenever you said, like, do we know who is actually in it? No one knows. And then everybody said, well, Tony, you know because you didn't want Bill Belichick in there. That was kind of how your words were taken. And you understand that, I guess, at this stage. But you're just saying in general, and I think the world is kind of witnessing it here, if the speculation is accurate, the process is a fascinating one for this Hall of Fame that we all, football players, coaches, fans, hold in such high regard.
2:16:37I think it's kind of getting an exposing process right now on how it's all kind of selected. This could be a turning point. Yeah, we changed the voting rules two years ago, and that cut the class down last year, and it creates a problem because we didn't put enough guys in. This year we'll see what happens. Hopefully we have a full class, but I don't know that that's going to happen. Fascinating. AJ has a question for you, Coach. Coach, sticking with that, how would you want to change the rules moving forward? I guess what could they do? Do they ever add more voters? No, no, no. The way we used to do it in the past and when I first got on the committee, everybody voted.
2:17:13And the top, if we had a five-man class, the top five guys got in, no matter how many votes you got. And then you had the up or down vote. But now they changed it so you have to have 80 % of the vote. Well, the more excellent candidates you have, the less chance you have for anybody to get 80%. So we're making it harder for people to go in. And we had a class last year that was half the size of my class. We've got to do something to fix that because we're going to get a backlog. Adam Benatieri didn't go in last year. Luke Keekly didn't go in last year. So now this year we're talking about those two guys as we talk about Larry Fitzgerald and Drew Brees and Frank Gore.
2:17:55And all of those guys aren't going to get in this year. And that will back up. So we've got to fix this so we can have a full class every year. I appreciate that, Coach, because me and A.J., we didn't get it. Yeah. We were all the dogs. Yeah, all the dogs. Keep backlogging. D-Bott has a question for you, Coach. It's obviously Super Bowl week. Like, what's the most important – what was the most important message for your team when you wanted to get to the team that week leading up to that game? Because everybody tries to say, hey, make it the same game. Make it – it's just football. But what was your message?
2:18:23What was your most important message that you needed to get through to your team? When we went in 2006, I talked to Andy Reid, Mike Holmgren, and Bill Cowher. They had been previously. I said, tell me about the week. Tell me the important message. They said it's a long week. You can't have Monday be so hyped up that you lose it by the end of the week. And you've got to know that Saturday, Sunday, that's when you want to be at your best. So my message was, guys, let's just enjoy the process early in the week. We didn't have a curfew on Monday. I told Edron, we're in Miami. I told Edron James, you got him.
2:19:00I don't even, don't tell me where you're going. I don't care. Just make sure nobody's in jail. And then we'll come in on Tuesday and get started. Get it out of the system. We'll be relaxed. Enjoy it. And then when we get to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, we're going to dial in and then focus. I think those days live on Sunday. Yeah. King of Diamonds Monday. So I think I know exactly where Edge probably, if I had to guess. I still don't know where they went.
2:19:28Nobody got in trouble. So I think from what I've been told, last question comes from New England Patriots fan, Connor Campbell. Yeah, coach, obviously, you know, back here again, seventh time for me, it's exciting. But looking at a different legendary team, you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers with coach McCarthy going in there. How'd you feel about Mike Tomlin leaving him kind of saying, all right, it's my time to, you know, see the door. And then coach Mike McCarthy, kind of an older guy, not like Pittsburgh to hire older coaches. How do you feel about that change? You know, it was funny. I actually, we had them the last game of the regular season against Baltimore.
2:20:02The winner was in, loser was out. They sent me in early to interview Coach Tomlin. And when he talked, and I'm asking him questions, he was so nostalgic. And he was talking about the rivalry and coming there early and Jerome Bettis and Hines Ward. And after he made the announcement that he was stepping down, it kind of got yeah I see where this is coming from the Steelers had always been young coaches defensive side but I think Art Rooney is saying we've got a team that maybe can win we've got to get our offense going I'm hiring an offensive guy let's turn this around right now I think coach Mack's going to do a great job we appreciate you so much coach hell of a season this year thank you Pat good to be with you too man I'm thankful that you uh you know Tony Dungy such good guy all the time.
2:20:52Always says the right thing. Never bury anybody. You catching a little fire here to start Super Bowl week has been fun. Just from outside looking in, it has been fun for like, wait until they watch Coach Dungey kind of handle this entire... You're an impressive human being. You need to know that, Coach, and we all appreciate the hell out of you. Thank you, Pat. Good to be with you guys. Tony Dungey. Tony! He got thrown in fire a little bit. He got thrown in fire. A lot of people seem to be doing Yeah. Just saying nothing and then all of a sudden boom. How about Tony go, do we know? Yeah, that guy didn't vote for Bill, there it is.
2:21:27So this guy knew, he knows who's, how does he know? How's nobody, I voted, I don't know. Tony's like, I don't know. Yeah, we never checked. So Tony Dungey's like, do we know? Bill Paulian voted for Bill and he's the face of people who didn't vote for Bill. He's an old asshole. He said 95 % sure, I don't know, I just woke up. It was last week, ladies and gentlemen, joining us now here for overtime, which is obviously huge for sport, especially the youth of sport, is the wide receiver duo from the Cincinnati Bengals. Ladies and gentlemen, Jamar Chase, T Higgins. Jamar Chase. Yeah, no, there's still not.
2:22:09I made Jamar Chase, T Higgins. There you go. Yeah. Nice. Hell yeah, boys. How you doing, man? Here we go, boys. What's up, man? Appreciate you. Appreciate you. Thanks for coming through. What's up, brother? Here we go, boys. Yes, sir. How are we doing? How are we doing? What's up? How you doing, man? Hey, boys, how's it going? Great. Headset there to your left, your right, yeah? You guys figured it out. Hell yeah. Sick chain T. Unbelievable. I appreciate it, man. Jesus Christ iced the hell out. Hello. Right there. Hello. Congratulations to you guys on having success being the greatest duo in the league.
2:22:47Congrats, boys. Congrats. Let's talk a little bit about said Cincinnati Bengals. They invest heavily in the offensive side of the ball. Injuries happen. Things like that derail. Feels like you guys didn't lose course at all. There was a lot of negativity potentially from the outside. Maybe not the same outcome. You continue to play and put up huge numbers. Why is that the case, Jamar Chase? We know you wide receivers. I don't mean to use that as a derogatory term. But you wide receivers, whenever shit doesn't look bright, could potentially bail out, especially people of your caliber. So why did this year mean so much for you to finish strong for the Bengals and continue to go, basically?
2:23:21Well, first, I think finishing strong is part of your character. So, you know, I always push that to T, especially at the end of the season this year, by the way that we have. So I just make sure I push that, push the narrative on that so we can finish strong for ourselves to make it look better for ourselves at the end of the day because we do represent ourselves. And then we represent the organization. And, you know, we lead by example. You know, they look at us as captains, and the only way we do that is by leading by example because, you know, we both don't always talk so much. T, we've seen your mom through this entire process.
2:23:48She loves that you're back with the Bengals. Tell me about why you love Cincinnati, why you think your family loves that organization. Yeah, man. I mean, I grew up a Bengals fan, so, you know, the love has always been there. And, you know, once I had the opportunity to sign that four-year deal, it was a no-brainer. Yeah, it was a good deal. Yeah. Yeah. I take it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You did. You did. What does the future look like for you guys? What's the offseason? How's Joe Burrow? How's everything going for you guys? And when do things kind of start ramping back up for you? Yeah, man, hopefully the organization is going to it right now.
2:24:20You know what I'm saying? Hopefully. You know, I'm pretty sure we have our sit-downs and judgments on what we can do and what we can. And I'm pretty sure everyone knows what we need. I'm not going to say what we need, but I talked to Zach about that. I know you might put me on the spot, but, you know, I might have said an opinion. I'm not going to put you on the spot. I'm definitely pushing, you know what I'm saying, to get something good for the defensive side. We just need something, of course, you know, somebody. Yeah, you're a real talent. You're a pillar. You're allowed to have opinions. I appreciate you also saying, I told Zach my thoughts.
2:24:52Yeah, before you even asked me, I did. And I think we need to get it done. You're here for overtime. Chasing number one is a new athlete-led talk show hosted by NFL superstar Jamar Chase, giving fans direct access to his perspective, personality, and point of view. Real conversation led by athletes. Tell me, you're a talk show host? Let's go, dude. Yeah. You're a talk show host? Boom. I'm going to open one, yes. How's it going? Are you enjoying it? I haven't did something yet. You know, right now we're in the process. Right now, you know, I'm live streaming this right now from Twitch, so I'm getting like five.
2:25:21You're on Twitch right now? Yeah, I'm live. What up, Chad? No way. What up, Chad? W's in the chat. Yeah. What up? Okay, what is your Twitch? What is your Twitch? Jamar Chase 10. Jamar Chase. Okay, what do we normally do? Do you play games? I play games. IRL streams too. So they're going to do a podcast. There's a podcast they're going to get from the IRL stream. So it's going to be a lot based just from Twitch. So you can reach me through Twitch a lot, but it's going to be harder ways because you've got a sub and so you can see everything. Yeah, and then also, what's the thing on Twitch? We give you a biddy.
2:25:52Big old biddy. You're looking for those biddies, Jamar. Looking for those biddies. Yeah, you're looking for those biddies. Yeah, in the chat, send the biddies. Send the biddies in the chat. D-Bot has a question for you guys. We had Bryce Young on earlier. He talked about the biggest adjustment from college to the pros was like the pre-snap and how quick things got on them. What's been, I guess, the biggest adjustment of how defenses have played you guys and what you guys had to adjust and learn kind of on the fly? I think, you know, a lot of teams play us, you know, a lot of zone and, you know, two men and double-double.
2:26:24So, obviously, we go into the week, you know, prepping, how they've been playing these other teams, and then we get there and they switch it all up. You know, they're doubling us. Obviously, it's frustrating, but, man, we just adjust on the fly, and they pay us to go make plays. Jamar, how about you? It feels like since day one you've been doubled in the NFL. Well, no, at the beginning you couldn't catch, remember? Yeah, they said that. No stripe on the ball. Yeah, that was awesome. They said this fucking guy forgot how to catch. That was incredible. Those were the best times. I want to let you know we were over-dramatizing those headlines because of how ridiculous they were.
2:27:01Jamar Chase can't catch a football that doesn't have paint on it. Doesn't have the white stripe on it. This guy might not be able to be anything in the NFL. Those are real things that are being said. I mean, yeah, let them take a year off and play football. See what happens. See what happens. See if you can really see your peripherals as good as you used to, you know. But then you got back into it, and obviously since the beginning you've been a guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, the first year was like them just being like out there and just throwing man at me until I could make a play. You know, then my second year was where I started to get like more zone coverages and a double team, like he's saying.
2:27:28And then over time, once the third, fourth year came, it was like double, double, double, double, double, double. You know what I'm saying? And then I was like, shit, me and T, damn, they couldn't do shit unless Joe threw us a jump ball and make two defenders. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you guys also just get wide. I mean, you're still running a couple different times. Yeah. And same with you. We make it look like that. Well, good. It's a lot of hard work to get into that. You know what else is hard work? Building Twitch stream. We got it live right here. Oh, wow. No way. And what up, Chad?
2:27:58I want to let you know I've been watching this on my little monitor here. Yeah, guys. Hey, left elbow strong on this guy. There has been a couple little up and down. Okay. So are you connected? You got a backpack there with the full thing, full connection back there? Front. Yeah, keep it right next to your kids. Yeah, that's smart. That's a good idea. Bold move there. We appreciate your commitment, bro. Keep the 5G thing right there. Right on top of it. Right there. We appreciate your commitment. You better get a cup. Yeah, you're the best, bro. That's unbelievable. He's like a copper cup. He's a copper fit.
2:28:31Go get those copper fizzards. That's the prototype right now. He's just testing that out right now. He's going to be the prototype. Even better. Even better. We're going to get a better one. He's going to be able to walk around with on his back soon. I mean, him with a full. Yeah, you're doing great work, Bob. And commitment to this. We have no idea what future holds for him. No, we do. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, for both of you guys. Maybe Jamar, you go first. But Joe Flacco came up here earlier. First off, he's a giant. Yeah, he's huge. Big old handsome dude. What did he say? He's 41 years old. Yeah.
2:28:57Great. I guess I was actually in person when you guys played the Steelers, and I think you may have caught 12 balls in a row at one point in the game. You guys were all over the place. But having a guy like Joe come in, did you know from the jump, okay, this guy can get us the ball. We're going to score some points here. If I'll be honest, I think Green Bay game, bro, I felt like he was just giving me opportunities. Yes, he was. And I was just making the best of him. That's a Packers fan. I said it going into the week. I said Bengals are going to win. Joe Flacco and these guys are going to go crazy.
2:29:25and you guys damn near did. I mean, we only had, what, a walkthrough with him, and that was it. Oh, that's even better. Had a walkthrough with this guy. He said he was bummed out that he was getting traded, but then he said with the weapons that he had, it was like dream. Did it feel like he was an immediate fit for you guys? I mean, yeah, man. Just, you know, he came in. He was going over the plays in the huddle, and he, like, saying it really fast. We're like, damn, he already got the plays that fast? He's like he sent him smooth and clean. Me and him looking at each other like ain't no way.
2:29:57You know what I mean? And then we get into the game. We get to a point he can barely hear the call. He like he say the formation. He like y 'all know the rest. It's crazy. Yeah he's 40 years old. He's been around. He's done it so many times before. Joe Burrow. What is he like? Obviously you two deep history. Obviously you have become number one as well with Joe Burrow as your quarterback. What is he how has he been since LSU to now? What have you seen like kind of as him as a quarterback as one of his best friends? I feel like the biggest thing is me just having a relationship with him off the field not a done been with him so long You know I'm saying and on the field I feel like now it's like something that I've been playing with him so long that I got to know what he's thinking at this point You know I'm saying since since he put in so much commitment ever since he sat me down and had that film talk with me You know it's like we've started to click.
2:30:45What was that? I don't think I know LSU. That's what I'm saying It started when we was in 2019. What did he do? He sat you down and said, hey, this is where I fucking need you? Hey, I'm going to throw the ball. Hey, I'm going to throw the ball. So pretty much like Florida game, we played Florida at home 2019. And I remember the week of the game, Joe just pulled me in a room, pulled me to the side, and it was C.J. Henderson, the quarterback. And he was telling me how he played. He was showing me, like, breaking down the film with me, showing his details, what he might do. And I remember during the game time, he told me, like, I hope you remember you know I'm saying something like that and I tell him at the end of the game my exact words with him was like Well, you were exactly right.
2:31:25That's awesome. Everything. He told me on film that day exactly happened that game And that was my first time like breaking down film by somebody getting film broke down to me So like it's completely different from a quarterback's perspective to receive How about you T? What about your relationship with Joe? Obviously, it's gone. Well, yeah, you know, we came in together into the league together and And obviously, I had a little smoke with him because they had just beat me in the national championship. You know what I mean? He looked tough in that national championship. He took some big shots.
2:31:54I thought we had him. Yeah, halftime. He came out in second half. Yeah. Was Joe Burrow. Yes, he was. Burrow came, yeah. But, man, it's been awesome. You know, just to build that relationship with him, it's been amazing. Are you a big fashion guy as well? I know you're fashion, right? We still doing super fashion? Yeah. I'm still going. I'm gonna go to Paris in the summertime. Right now, I can't really do it right now. There's a lot of moving around. Who decides what you're wearing? Do you decide what you're wearing? I decide what I'm wearing, but I have someone, like, pick out the clothes for me.
2:32:21Pictures, or they bring them in front of you? They bring it to me. And they say, hey, you do this thing right here, it's gonna be? No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't know. I'm not in the world. I wear the same shirt every day. It don't look like that. They bring me the clothes. All I do is tell them what I'm looking for and what's my style. They bring me the clothes, and then we move from the clothes from there. I get their opinion on how I look. So let's say I was to do this. Let's say I was to start becoming a fashion guy. Yep. I wear the same clothes every day. Okay. Let's say, you know what? I'm fucking sophisticated.
2:32:50I want to get into the fashion world. What would I say? I would like to look moderate. How would the description be for it? I mean, it depends what's your type of style in that moment. You could look the sophisticated suit and tie look while being swag. Or you could come real professional nerd style, high pants, cuffed up. You know what I'm saying? make it clean so there's different ways you could come with it. Have you already sent your descriptors for Paris Fashion Week? No, no. What are you thinking? Well, I don't know what I'm thinking cuz there's gonna be so many different styles at that time.
2:33:24You gotta make so many decisions. Yes, a lot goes in. They go fucking crazy. Showed up in your full uniform. Uniform, full fucking uniform. Maybe your college pants. They go fucking nuts. You fucking want to. They go nuts. Metal screw ins too. Yeah. I black tape everything. Those fucking Europeans start putting shoulder pads on. You're welcome. You're welcome. Yeah, something to think about, holy shit. Game in pairs. We didn't even know we could be fashion people. But it turns out maybe you show up full fucking, guardian cap. Nope, guardian cap is crazy. Yeah, guardian cap is crazy. Do you wear one?
2:34:02No, I do not. I changed my helmet. I changed my helmet. That's what Fred said. Fred said that - Is it big in the front or the back? What is the helmets that you can wear that you don't need a guardian cap? What is it? Does it feel different? I don't know the exact name. It looked like the speed flex though. Okay. So I guess we don't know this. A big front though. Okay. Yeah, we don't notice. That's a good point. Bosa wears it, right? I think Bosa has that. He has that suit. Nick has the one with the, yeah. Caleb Daniels. Jaden Daniels? Caleb Daniels. Yeah, of course. We know who that is. That's the helmet.
2:34:29Yeah. One of my favorites actually. What Caleb Daniels does is special. Yeah? Yeah. Like him? He's so good at ball. CD? Come on now. We see Caleb Daniels and we think to ourselves, holy fuck, that guy? He can play. Influencer with the helmet. Caleb Daniels, absolute beast, dude. Fucking shout out Caleb Daniels. Yeah, definitely my favorite helmet. Something back to Burrow real quick. He's got a Batmobile. Have you guys been in the... Who is Caleb Daniels?
2:35:05He's Caleb Daniels. Who is Caleb Daniels? Yeah. I don't know what the fuck his first name is. What's his name? What's the quarterback for the Bears?
2:35:20I think his name's Caleb. I don't know his last name like that. See, I thought it was a wide receiver for a team that I did not know. I thought it was a helmet company too. Joe's going to get on me for this right here. Oh, it was amazing. Holy fuck. No, he said Jaden Daniels. Yeah, Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, I wasn't sure. I thought that was definitely a guy that was in the wide receiver room for Cincinnati. He's now on a different team. We obviously had no fucking idea. He's talking about Caleb Daniels. Yeah, he's really good. I saw him looking at him. Immediately. Connor, go ahead, brother.
2:35:52Yeah, to Burrow. We had this conversation around Christmas, and I want to get the honest opinion. Okay? Joe Burrow, you know, he's going to give you a Christmas gift, and he breaks out a bone from, you know, his collection. A mammoth tusk. A mammoth tusk. A bone, and he gave them to all the offensive linemen. You guys, if you could just go into the shoes of Ted Karras. You know, he walks into the house, and he gets a mammoth tooth or a bone for his gift for Christmas. Were they pissed? Were they happy with their bones? Would you guys be happy with your bones if Burrow were to give you them for Christmas?
2:36:30I mean, if I'm them, if I'm not happy, I'm going to act happy. Yes. That's what we thought as well. Definitely a teammate. That's a smart play. Great answer. So wide receivers, we don't really see you guys Christmas much. Quarterback never wide receiver. Yeah, quarterback room sometimes we saw. We've seen on hard knocks. Seems like it's the end of the season dinner. That's been a bunt with the wide receivers as of late. Yeah, a lot of gift exchanges. Not a lot of gift exchanges for you guys, huh? No, we do. We just don't let the world see it. Some things are meant for us. Because the gifts get judged, too.
2:37:04Yeah, big time. We're talking about the bones. You kidding me? You walk in for Christmas, you get a bone? Yeah, right. Which quarterback got their O-line in golf carts? Side by sides, Aaron Pittsburgh. Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. Josh Allen got, I think, four withers for the boys as well. But you know it. I mean, they're spending a lot of money. It's not crazy. But Polaris is like, yeah. What do you think? Yeah, you can certainly give 20 of these things out that we just dropped. Yeah, so I love the gift, but it feels like it is starting to become more for show than actual. Yeah. Meaning?
2:37:37Like a commercial. Yeah. And I don't like that happening at Christmas. Yeah, that's not what it's all about. It's not commercialized. It's dadgum country. That's what we've done to it. Ever since fucking Turbo, man. Yeah, exactly. Hallmark. Way too young. Thanks a lot. Last question here from Ty for the boys from Cincinnati. Yeah, is it weird? Have you guys thought about how your team and I guess Zach Taylor, like he's going to be the most tenured coach in the division? Like that's what the AFC North has been with stability and all these different cities. and now, like, you guys, maybe not roster-wise, but, like, the team itself and the leadership there is kind of like the old dogs in the division.
2:38:13Like, have you thought about that at all? I actually haven't thought about that. New coaches everywhere, T, in your AFC North. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I guess Zach's been there. You know what I'm saying? He's done it. So, you know, hopefully we got that little edge right there. How about you, Jamar? Mike McCarthy plays no games. No, he doesn't. Hey, you see double-double. It was Todd Monk. Can you say more than the Dodgers? Oh, my kid's already saying, ODC. I don't fucking think about that guy. That's what he said. He moved on. Going into the game thinking we was double-double the whole time, if I'm being honest.
2:38:42So at the end of the day, it's going to come down to the players at the end of the day. That's what's on the field making the plays. You know what I'm saying? And we respect Zach and his coaching at the end of the day. But when it comes down to the players on the field, you know, it's going to come down to our skill and what we're doing in the situation. You said you talked to Zach about what we need, a defensive player. So I pick six out of you guys. I was going to say. Mm-hm. You won't see me on that side. I saw you yesterday, it was an incredible catch. And then you did a backflip McTwist, almost landed that shit.
2:39:10I assume you have in the past. I was a little nervous. You didn't wanna sell out, you didn't wanna hurt yourself? What was the thought? Well, it's been a minute. Since you've done the backflip twist? What is that called? I don't think I understand that. Well, it's usually a 360, but I had the ball in my hand, my momentum was a little off. Jeez. And you're bummed right there. I saw that the Olympics whenever the gymnastics person doesn't hit it. Yeah. The five. Everybody was impressed though that you still almost pulled it off. I don't think you should judge yourself too harshly. Have you hit that before?
2:39:40No, I did gymnastics, so yeah. I mean, if you're doing it for the first time ever right there then. No, no, no, that wasn't the first time ever. That was the first time in like two years I did that. You did gymnastics growing up? Yeah. Like what? Like not after hours. So growing up, I had like, let's go after hours. And they would teach me how to flip. So they would teach me how to do Oreos, double backflips. On the bounce floor? Yes. And you would be able to move? Yes. Trampoline, a lot of trampoline stuff? I had trampoline at my auntie house when I was growing up, yeah. Were you a trampoline professional wrestler?
2:40:10No, wrestler? Yeah. On the trampoline? Yeah, choke slimes. RKO. Yeah, you know what we're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we used to wet it first too. Shit. Yeah. Okay, so we should expect more McTwisty backflippies. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm getting a little older, I wanna chill. Smart, yeah. I like what we're doing around here. That is smart. You should check out Maxi to protect yourself. Go ahead, I'm sorry. This is the first time this is running. This is, yeah, Maxi. I think it's the first time this is hit. Hey, second time. Okay, we missed the first time. Yeah, yeah. I got the app from the video.
2:40:41Honestly, I watched the video. It's a great video. I said, I actually need all that help. But getting back to that, can you do it in full pads, these flips? And if you can, you gotta wear full pads and go to Paris this summer, obviously. And that's your - My God, on the clock, clock, clock. Metal tip, metal tip. I don't think I should go to Paris with no gear on. They might tackle me. They'll know it's you. And the last time I did a backflipping pass was in San Francisco here, actually, when we played here. Okay. I did it after I scored. Okay, T, what are your thoughts on the Super Bowl? Patriots, Seahawks.
2:41:11Have you guys been watching, following along? A little bit. I just kind of hope it's a high-scoring game. Offense. Offense, for sure. Cincinnati Bengals. Jamar? I got the DB receiver play. I think that's going to break down who's going to win. Who do you like better? I'm going to see Hawks, though. Tell me about, like, Gonzo or anybody else that's in this particular game. Anybody you think of, like, whenever it comes DBs, like, ah, that guy a little bit different than maybe everybody else? I mean, that's the only one I can think of, you know. By far, he was the only. That was the matchup I was looking forward to in the year that I had two years ago when I, you know what I'm saying, my first game of the season with him, you know.
2:41:43So I was definitely looking forward to him. How about Cooper DeGene? When you look at him, you say, wow, didn't know that was possible. Is that what you say? You too, T? He's pretty athletic. Yeah, you can say it. Pretty athletic. What do you mean? We like his game. He's a corner in the NFL. He's got to be super athletic, right? Yeah, what are you talking about? He can dunk. Yeah, Jamar? I thought they said 48. I thought they said white man can't jump. Oh, okay. Cooper can. Yeah, Cooper can. Hey, he can dance too. He's like 6 '2", 6 '3", though. Yeah, he was just here. No way. I had no idea. Yeah, maybe he's listed there, but we just met him.
2:42:16I was eye to eye. He's taller than me. I don't know. He's eye to eye to you. How tall are you? I mean, I have Halberts on, so there's a chance. But, yeah, he's not taller than you. I just was on the field with him last night. I must have shrunk then last night. What did you think of last night? Did you hate it? What about it? The game? Everybody fucking hates everything these days. Everybody hates everything. I mean, everybody hates everything, honestly. It is. Last night was just content creation situation is what I viewed it as. Is that how it's kind of you guys viewed as well? It was my first time.
2:42:42I had a great time. Okay, you love to talk to everybody, right? Yeah, I had a great time. It was my first Pro Bowl. I mean, I just enjoyed the moment. Hell yeah. You also get to meet a lot of people. That was kind of the big takeaway of the Pro Bowl before. It's like you get to meet other guys either at different positions or your position that you maybe don't get a chance to chat with and some positive atmosphere. Is that what you experienced as well? Yeah, it was pretty dope to meet some of the other guys that you don't really get to talk to every day. So, yeah. Are you guys sweet with the other team when we talk to the other team?
2:43:05Are you guys? Jersey swaps. No Jersey swaps. Jersey. Not here. I mean, I talk to Pat here the most, you know what I'm saying? That's like DB-wise. I told him me and him never changed jerseys this year. But if I'm doing a jersey exchange, it got to be like in game. I want a dirty one, not a clean one. Yeah, it's been there. I didn't buy it from Fanatics and it came five weeks late. Yeah, with the name spelled wrong. With the patch on the wrong shoulder. We didn't do any of that. All right. Joke. All right, you guys are here for overtime. You got a show coming. Shout out to the chat. That guy's still holding it with his forearms.
2:43:35Hell yeah. Shout out. What's your name? Ced. Yeah, that's his name. Cedric. Boom. I still didn't get it. Cedric. Double bicep cramp. Cedric is his name? Yeah, Cedric. Yeah, that's what he said. I would not have. Cedric? Yeah. Holy shit, what a name. You didn't guess that? You didn't guess he was a Cedric? I did not guess. You and Cooper. What does he look like? What's that? What do you think? Yeah, what is it? What does his name look like? Kind of like a Jeffrey. Casey. Maybe Jeff for short. Casey. I can see Daniel. I see a Mike. Just a straight up Mike. Yeah, just a Mike Smith. Yeah, just a Mike Smith.
2:44:06Yeah, Michael. Yeah, Anthony and Tony. I said we got stuck in the left here. I didn't think your name was Pat at first either. What did you think it was? Like John. Sick, there is another John. John McAfee, yeah. Good call. Good call. McAfee, anti-virus. You know, to protect your digital self. I am not related to him. He made a lot of money. He made some interesting decisions, but McAfee's more than an antivirus. Good call. Yeah, wow. He could have been. He's good. Good work out of you. Thank you for that. That is a great catch. A lot of those out of you guys. All right, thank you for joining us.
2:44:37Are you here all week or what's the plan? Something like that. Got the hoops still. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was the first double. Okay, yeah, so only three shots combined. I don't know who's the better hooper. I'm going to take one. I'm going to take two. Okay, so you're shooting first then. You're a better hooper? Yeah. Yeah, say it, bro. Yeah, I am. Okay, okay, you're a player. Do you have an angle at that hoop from where you guys are? You'd be the first people that are sitting at that angle. He would need to sit here. Okay, actually, can we just have you guys? Oh, shit. Get the hell out of here.
2:45:07Because now we're going to have to take the headsets off. We got the mic. So come over here. Come over here because this is how it's been here. So this is how it's been. Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to attempt the Pat McAfee Show's Charity Super Shot. Okay, you will have three attempts. You two will have three attempts. Do you want no shots? I'll take one. Okay, you two will have three shots. T, you will take two. Jamar, you will take one. If you make it on your first attempt, you'll give$20 ,000 to a charity of your choosing. It is a state fair like basketball. It would be very difficult to make.
2:45:40We think you would try to range find and then probably hit the second one like Bryce Young was able to do and freak athlete Cooper Jean was able to do as well. A lot of people have missed before. Are you ready? You want the best ball first or last? Okay. Smart. See the two reps with it. Yep.
2:46:01Hey, listen. You can do whatever you want. Just got to be behind that table. Yep. World is your oyster. He stands up this decision. Bryce Young also did this decision. Cooper Jean kind of more followed what he was told to do. Yeah. T Higgins here will make a shot. I think you're gonna make it. Yep. It feels like you're gonna make this first try. Ball is light, isn't it? Yeah, it's a weird ball. Yeah, it is a weird ball. It's also oblong as well. $20 ,000 to a charity if you're choosing if you're able to make this shot. T Higgins, the Cincinnati Bengals, pro bowler. That's a light, it's light. Yeah, you never know.
2:46:33We need a little help over there. Yeah, yeah. Now you know. Okay, now you will, do you wanna shoot again? Cuz you already have the feel of it. This will be for$10 ,000 now to a charity of your choosing. T Higgins. No. I both fall. I both fall. Grab it quick. Oh man. Damn. Okay, you two get along by the way, very well, apparently. You guys get along very well, obviously. Hey, can you put that headset on you real quick? So we can talk shit in your backswing. Damn. We like to do that, okay. Hey, you and T don't hate each other cuz you gotta take the ball away from each other? No, I actually tell him to go get the ball sometimes, yeah.
2:47:11Helps you out? No.
2:47:16Ladies and gentlemen, Jamar Chase. Hey, this will be for 20 ,000 cuz it's your first shot. Yeah, first shot. This will be a$20 ,000 shot. Jamar Chase, all you can do is put it into that hoop right over yonder and we will donate in your name to a charity of your chosen. Hey! He made the job! He made the end! Come on! Hey, Tim Duncan! Wow!
2:47:39Wow, yeah, too easy to marches bingo. That's the shit. Yeah, there's no reason for that. Remember we get along. This is shit happens. That's why we a duo. Facts. Passed it, got the assist. Man, going glass too. That was unbelievable. One not on, the other one is. I like that. And then when you're both on. It's dangerous. Everybody's screwed. Everyone's gone. If you're playing defense too, we'll see if you guys do that next year. You're the greatest ladies and gentlemen and wide receivers from Cincinnati, Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins. Hey boys. Chad. Thank you. Oh yeah. See you Chad. They gotta send some bits out dude.
2:48:24Huh? Bits. Yeah, get some bits in there. All right now. Have a good off season. Good luck. That was sick. Thanks for having us on this question. Hey, can I get a photo with you guys? Yeah.
2:48:52Incredible shot, Tamar. Incredible shot. I didn't think he was going to make that. Bucket getter. Ball right there. Yeah, doof. He said, they said he was acid basketball. So I think that was the little caveat is that they're both very good, but T Higgins happens to be NBA good and Jamar Chase also nasty. I've seen Jamar doing 360 dunks and all that. Yeah, classic undersell. Did you hear D-butt trying to tear him apart? Yeah. What did you say? I like that. Don't hate the angle. D-butt immediately, man, I thought you were good at hoops. Oh, jeez. Jeez, unbelievable. Over time, Jamar Chase is going to be hosting the show.
2:49:28He's also got Twitch. That's right. I saw the chat. How was it? I saw the chat back there. Who's behind you? Were they W-ing? I saw several Ws. Dobs in chat. Yeah. Do they still do that? Oh, yeah. And they were doing a bunch of bits. All the biddies? Yeah. He does Ark Raiders. Good game. Bruce pulled up the Chinese version of their stream. It's all in Chinese. What are you doing? Unless his screen is just completely mumble and jumbled. Oh, here we go. Wait, that's something right now? Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of cool. He's got to feel pretty good about making that shot. I think he's probably going to take a victory lane.
2:50:04Yeah, yeah. Hey, how you doing? You see that fucking maze show? I saw Michael J. Fox. People that stream like that, they just do this? Michael J. Fox is awesome. Michael J. Fox? Might put it in the chat, baby. He's in the... No, he's not. He's in our vicinity. He's acting again. I'm guessing that may be an alias in the chat. I don't know if that's actually... He was just in the first episode of... It has to be real. It was awesome. It's on Twitch. It's got to be real. Yeah, no, that's a good point. All right, ladies and gentlemen, to wrap up this glorious day, We have a man joining us who is a diehard Seattle Seahawks fan.
2:50:34He was actually a Seahawks contributor to our program throughout this playoff run and regular season. He's a man who's been known as Dr. Phil, among many other characters. But we know him affectionately as the hilarious Adam Ray. Yeah. Adam. Adam Ray. Yeah. No way. No way. Thank you, dude. Stop doing that. Was he hoping your gas? Yeah, I had to block him out. Hey, we know you were in the back there for a little bit. We appreciate you waiting it out. We are very thankful to end the show with you as opposed to start the hour with you. Getting bumped for a couple of legends. And getting humbled at the Super Bowl is a big deal.
2:51:12I'm back there. I'm getting myself juiced up. I snorted a four loco with Matty. Nice. And yeah, he's a big loco guy. I don't know if you guys knew that. And so I'm getting ready. Matty, yeah. Ice? Yeah. Matt Ryan? Matt Ryan's right there? Yeah. No, Bruce. Bruce, you snorted a Four Loko with Bruce? Guys, I'm just trying to make a little small talk before. No, we didn't know who you were talking about. With Matty, I didn't know who you were talking about. Matt, your boy Matt. Bruce. Bruce. Bruce. Are you calling Bruce? Yeah, you call him Matty, so that's where the, we were trying to catch up. No, he's still introducing.
2:51:45This whole thing is his fault. Did he say he was Matt, is what he said to you? He's in my phone, it was Matt. That's on him. That's on him. That's on Bruce. That's Bruce Brown. Yeah, it's always been Bruce Brown. Well, who I am to Chase and Higgins is just a guy who they thought worked on the Pat McAfee show. I'm literally back there. I'm just like, here we go, man. About to be on the McAfee show. Here we go. And then they walk in and they go. Jamar just goes, hey, man, is it cool if my crew brings the camera out there? I go, oh, I'm a comedian, man. I'm actually going on this show, too. If it's cool, if you just stop referring to me as a guy.
2:52:21I actually have done some cool stuff. But, yeah, it's good to see you. I'm a big fan. You're not just a guy. I appreciate it. You're a super fan of a team that's now back in the Super Bowl. How does it feel, brother? It feels unbelievable. It also feels unbelievable to last time I was here was last year in New Orleans, just as a spectator. And I remember walking by the show, and I think Jeff Ross was at the mic roasting you guys. Yeah, what is this? An ugly lives matter? Ugly lives matter? Classic, classic kid joke. And so if you go online, it's under the kid one-liners. Hey, Jeffrey, that was him, not us.
2:52:52You had a big pop out of us. Yeah, no. Jeff's a beast. Jeff's a beast. He knows that. But I was walking by the thing and just kind of gazing, almost like on the outside of an inside joke, just being like, man, the Pat McAfee show one day, and here we are. You're a friend of the program, bro. Pretty awesome. You've been in Thunderdome. Not a lot of people have been in Thunderdome. One of my favorites, also what my mom calls her bedroom with my stepdad. Just a little shout out to Puddin' Ray. Thunderdome? Oh, yeah, Puddin' Don out there. My stepdad did just, he doesn't want me to share this, but he did just get some sort of penile surgery.
2:53:23The pump to make it bigger? DB, you don't like that? I'll send you a link, but it's a pretty simple surgery. We're getting girth? We're getting length? Yeah. I didn't get that far. Extendo clip? Getting it back in the game? Just getting back in the game, I think. Just waking it up. With age, I think. Waking it up. CPR. Like a hip replacement. Yeah. But I am excited. I think this is going to be, and Connor, I love you. I know. It's like we bought it immediately over the Pat Seahawks original game. You stole the shoes. I couldn't wear them. I couldn't do anything. I mean, I was going to wear them, but then seeing how you pulled back from the fist bump and the handshake.
2:54:02You want no part of this, huh? No way. Absolutely not. This is the best part. The best part is seeing Seahawks fans and telling them to eat shit and die. Yeah, you're the only two team fan base that are allowed to do that still. Yeah, exactly. That's why I'm still in it. Now, granted, that's the New England mentality. I appreciate the Seattle mentality. Like, hey, we're going to have a fucking good game. We're fired up. I think it is going to be a good game. I think we're going to get to Drake May. I think he's just, he's too, I mean, was he 23-ish? Yeah. And every interview I see with him, he takes me back to my college days where he's just like, yeah, man, I'm sorry.
2:54:31He's a bra. He's a bra. I mean, he's nice. He does do a lot. He's a lot of bra. No, the shoulder's bra. He's a shoulder. No, I'm on TikTok. But he's excited. I love that. He's got a lot of optimism. But I think the Seattle front four is going to just get to him. I think a little bit of pressure is going to throw him. How long have you been working on the Drake, mate? Literally backstage after Jamar Chase rattled me a little. He rattled me into a Drake May where I was like, yeah. Do you have a Sam Darnold? What are your thoughts on him? Because the New England people and also I was around some New Yorkers who happen to be Jets fans.
2:55:03Jets fans are on the Seahawks bandwagon, which is awesome. And some of them that I was talking to were like, Sam Darnold's gonna win the Super Bowl. Okay. Oh yeah, the first in his class. It's unbelievable. It really is. The story of kind of, you know, just coming back from ghosts. Yes. Literally the ghosts and this guy's a bust and can't make it. To be a number three pick and to play, what, eight teams in – or five teams in eight years, I guess? There's so many guys that have been journeymen and have gotten second opportunities. But it's like his story truly is. And, you know, I told Mike McDonald when we first got Sam, and he was like, so tell me a little bit about Sam.
2:55:39Is he – Mike McDonald's all right, right? It's like, yeah, dude. That's not a bad McDonald's. We just try to – you know, it's like wake up with the sun, go to bed with the moon, you know, just do what we can. The organization, trying to be prepared. You know, I play a lot of Catan. And it's great. It's a strategy game. And, yeah, I mean, I wipe my butt after my pee. But you have to sometimes. You have to stay prepared, you know. But Mike told me. That was Coach McDonald right there? That was Coach McDonald, yeah. And you're very tight with him. So I feel like that is probably a very good. It's pretty spot on.
2:56:05But you know what? Mike actually is like one of those guys that's like sneaky, like silly. Like he came to my show. Him and Cal Raleigh came to the show. Started just like immediately hitting off, talking. You know, they both were like, oh, we're pretty much both game managers as far as like calling the game. and we have a lot of similarities and they were both throwing him back and game like you got him manager game manager game managers you said the word silly there can you say that is tony hinchcliffe silly oh silly yeah mike mcdonald is a silly boy exactly god we're really doing it red band yeah no he uh mike told me he goes what is sam like and i go here's an example of what Sam Darnold was like.
2:56:47I was doing shows in Minneapolis, and I was about 10 minutes from where Sam was staying. He was 4-0. They were about to go to Green Bay, and I think when that game, maybe, did they go 5-0? This was last year. Yeah, I mean, the Packers only won one division game last year. I think they did sweep. Yeah, okay, so it was 4-0. I was like, I got two shows. You're 10 minutes away. Come to the early show. You can be in bed by 845. And he's like, I'm getting up early to work out, do this, and then leave for Green Bay, but not until like 4 or 5. And I was like, well, you can see the rest. You haven't seen me do a full hour yet.
2:57:13And he literally was like, I got to keep studying tonight and get to bed by 830. And I was like, wow, you're literally so close. Could not be as closer to the venue. And I told Mike that. And he was like, all right. I was like, that's who Sam is. And you see all these reports about him being the first one there, like 4, 430. And, yeah. But, you know, and Drake Mays rolling in with just like, yeah, look at my hair. I get free pussy all the time. He does not. He's married. He's married. He's so pretty good. And Michael. And Michael's his sweetheart. Sweetheart. Watch him out. Well, yeah. Well, from his wife.
2:57:42If you're married, it's free, right? Oh, yeah, of course. It was a little too quick to assume. Let me finish the joke, goddammit. So rattled from Jamar Chase. Yeah, I mean, that's going to happen. I thought you did a great job coming out of the gates, though. Thank you, yeah. I mean, you came out with, like, an impression. You went out and you humped his face. You know, so Jamar Chase realized immediately that, holy shit, I was kind of in the way here. I think you made up for it, Adam. Yeah, I tried to, seeing those guys live in the flesh, like, I mean, you guys can attest to this, like, how many times you see these guys.
2:58:09Like, even at the flag football game yesterday for the Pro Bowl, I couldn't I mean some of these linemen are just massive dude is that ever get like surprised to get getting bigger and faster and more athletic they are yeah everybody's getting on that note Seattle I mean Leonard Williams classic I mean like yeah yeah I mean just the classic big guy AJ has a question for you Adam yeah speaking of being humble are you uh are you trying to fight Chris Pratt or do you like somebody else to fight him because he gets the intro of the Seahawks for the uh Super Bowl on TV I guess I thought for sure that was your gig maybe maybe a duo I don't think I'm Avenger famous.
2:58:40That's like, you got to be, Chris Pratt is from, I think, Lake Stevens. You know, I'm from Shoreline Lake Forest Park, so those, you know, we try to rep them as best we can, but Pratt is like, you know, Joel McHale was kind of the Hawks guy for a minute, but then he famously went to three games this season, and we lost all three. So I told him, stay away from the organization. He was great at Washington for game day. He doesn't get funnier than Joel McHale, but as far as like, I actually agree. I don't think he gets, he's a former football guy too, tight end. Tied in at UW. Community. Yeah, he was in Soup.
2:59:09How good was the other Soup? Yeah, Soup is the clip show. That was the clip show, yeah. Yeah, he was. Can't do that anymore, but yeah. You could. I think you would just dress up in a character and say terrible things. Right, yeah, yeah. It wasn't me. It was Dr. Soup. It wasn't me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think Pratt is a good – he loves it. You can tell. He's like a genuine fan. There are some, you know, celebs that you see attach themselves to a team just because – Bon Jovi. Who are those? Bon Jovi. Oh, you better. He's doing – Is Bon Jovi doing the Pats? John Bon Jovi is a ride-or-die Pats fan, Tony.
2:59:39I thought he was from Philly. Not young to Philadelphia, so remember, he's been in Kraft's suite for, what, 30 years? Forever, and that's more of a— Was Wahlberg booked? Hold on, that's more of a shame on the Eagles. And Wahlberg— Exactly, exactly. There's a Paul Wahlberg? Oh, yeah. Pauly? Yeah, of course, not to mention Donnie. I mean, I don't know why we're forgetting about him either. This was a conversation on the flight out. It was. Which one? In a dream, it's the Aflac's and the Walburnts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're doing it together. And same for Seattle. You, Joe McHale, maybe Chris Pratt as a threesome.
3:00:15Yeah. I'm sure, yeah. I'm sure there will be some. Like, who does the narration for, like, the pre-bowl package? That's interesting. The West Bass gets to do that. You remember the Rock cut a promo? Yeah. For the LA Rams? Yeah. In that red. Yeah, it was purplish. Yeah, whatever it was. For the NFC. Yeah. The entire thing. He did both. Cooper last year won a Super Bowl. Yeah, knocked it out of the park. Yeah, Cooper gave the speech last year, won a Super Bowl. He ripped it. It'd be awesome if Seattle just took a complete 180 and had Bill Nye do it. Just nobody sees that conference. I would love that.
3:00:44Or Ken Jennings. Do you know what Bill Nye has done against the Patriots too, right? He's got real heat with Patriots fans. Bill Nye's got real heat. That fucking dork. Yeah, real heat. He proved that. Yeah, but dude, he is packing heat. Yeah, he did the deflate gate. That'd be perfect timing. Yeah, Bill Nye came out and was like, actually, yeah, they did have to deflate. No way. Did a whole breakdown. Who did the Pats beat after the Colts AFC title game? In the Super Bowl? Yeah. I think it was the... Yeah, it was Bill Nye's team. Yeah, that's fucking nice. You know what? Are you going to be one of those Pats fans?
3:01:16No, no. Keeps bringing it up. I didn't bring up Bill Dye. I didn't bring up Bill Dye. I didn't bring up Bill Dye. The amount of people that are like, hey, dude, you're going to run or pass the ball. I'm like, get the fuck out of here. First of all, yeah, that was a triggering, traumatic day. Watching that clip again, it's like if your ex banged your best friend and taped it, and then every time you go to the Olive Garden, the waiter comes up and goes, you want to see it again? You're like, dude, you're ruining pasta and movies for me. See what I'm saying? Yeah, bottomless salad. Bottomless salad.
3:01:40Yeah, and Brett's. I saw all these guys asking McDonald and Darnold if they would run or pass, and they both like, you see the clip of McDonald being like, hey, man, I've been answering this all day, and I'm getting a little. He was on the cusp of cursing. He was like, I'm just talking about it. But I think he said, I don't want to throw any shade to the decisions that were made. Got it. Did you see Marshawn and Bill Meyer talking? Yes. Unbelievable. The match that we didn't know we needed. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. The clip that I watched about the adult ballet that maybe Bill Maher. I am into seeing.
3:02:18Let's not get it twisted. Preposterous. I do like seeing booties and boots. Not necessarily. You want that big old Marshawn. Flabbing in the wheel. Oh, my God. Marshawn. He should maybe be doing that. Where is he? Marshawn actually should be doing that whole package. Chris Pratt. Hey, listen. Chris Pratt. We love a good Chris Pratt movie. Shout out to Amazon. but like no, Marshawn is I think that's got to be the guy, especially with this matchup. Marshawn and I met in Ireland. He was doing for Amazon you know, do all this content with Marshawn where they drop him anywhere. On location, yeah. On location and he was doing like going to the Game of Thrones house.
3:02:52He went to a little people, a little person museum, some dwarf cottage and then a great band name and then he came to my show and we went out drinking Hennessy till 4am in Ireland and it was the most fun ever. So now, and then I did their podcast and we've been texting and somebody sent me a meme of like It was like sign Marchand for one day so we can run the ball. And I sent it to him and he just sent me back. He said my and then he called me the N word and it was the greatest text I've ever gotten. Yeah. Yeah. Screenshot that one. I screenshot. Yeah. Posted it. I sent it to my mom. You think about changing your Instagram bio.
3:03:24Yeah. And type it all out too. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. Put quotes around it. DB do I get the free pass? Absolutely. What? What was that? I was gonna ask you. Come on. Yeah. I understand. Good move. I think you should just think about doing it. I think you should just put it up there. Stay in a different voice. If we would. We need to make a bet, by the way. Uh-oh. Yeah. Are you not about that? Maybe you get your Halleys back that he stole. What? I appreciate that. And what a gesture and what a - Exactly. Adam, you've been mischaracterizing this entire thing. Not by me. Once. Definitely by you. I was offered a free pair of shoes.
3:04:03Exactly. I said, are you sure? I even doubled up and was like, are you sure? And you were like, you got to take him, dude. You said it would be a dream of mine. I was right there. I couldn't believe you said yes. On your way to a plane, extra pair of shoes for your luggage? Yeah, dude, I know. What? What world? Extra pair of shoes for your luggage? What world? I had no extra bag. I had to walk on. Yes. You said something like I'd be honored. I probably had a garbage somewhere. No, no. I got them at home. Don't lie. They're at home. They're in a box still. Okay. Yeah. I've worn them twice. I've worn them twice.
3:04:34Adam, I don't even know if you've heard. I know you're a big foot guy. I don't know if you've heard. Not the biggest. But I've heard. The way you were talked about in this entire story from. I mean, you heard Tone say it three times. Tone tried to say it. And now it plays. I was on your side, just to be clear. I was too, I'd like to say. Because I was right there as the interaction was happening. Yeah, you saw it live in the flesh. I thought you did Conor a favor. Conor's like, hey, I don't need. This is taking up too much space. And you did him a favor by taking. I am a people pleaser like that.
3:05:01Yeah. Yeah, if you were just like. Me too. and I was just shocked. Hey, do you want to say, no way this guy's going to take you. All right, well, then I think a bet is fair game at this point. Okay. You seem like a guy that's not into, I mean, you're a gambling man, yeah? Yes, of course. Yeah, so are you making any bets on this game at all? Oh, a ton. Okay, great. So this will be like a friendly, I think, I mean, we could go small as far as like, you know, my mom sends you nudes, your dad sends my mom. Oh, that's it. Or we can do that. My dad's down. Yeah, or we go, or we go, my dad's down. Or we go something bigger where it's like, the loser has to fly the other one to the other person's city and then buy him dinner.
3:05:36That's very nice. I like that. You guys are hanging out. If I lose the money on the ticket. If I have to go to Seattle, I'll cut my wrist. Maybe what we do, maybe what we do is that. Jesus Christ, it's a pretty beautiful city. I'm gonna miss out, you're gonna be bleeding out on the top of the Space Needle. I'm never going. But maybe - I was gonna take you to Starbucks and Bill Gates' house and you could - Starbucks, Starbucks, I'm a Duncan guy. And I'm not doing that second thing. I'm gonna fly anywhere with you pal. I'll take you to Pete Carroll's house, we'll go to Sean Kemp's weed shop. Okay.
3:06:11Maybe a Kraken game? Gary Payton's weed, maybe smoke a little bit of Gary Payton's weed. But I think we get, yeah, and it's gotta be a nice ticket. It doesn't have to be first, but I'm not riding Spirit. I've flown Spirit twice, there was already piss in the toilet. The seatbelts are two of the same side. The pilots high five when they land the fucking plane. I'm not flying spirit. It's like they, yeah. All right, so Connor has to fly you. Anything but spirit to Indianapolis? If I'm in Indy, we'll come kick it. Yeah. We'll get dinner at what's that? St. Elmo's. Yeah, St. Elmo's. Boom. All right, and everyone's invited.
3:06:41Or I'll fly you to Seattle or LA. No, just you two. Your pick. It's also true. Now, yeah. I'd give him another pair of shoes. Yeah, do you want to? Yeah, another pair of Halliburton's. If you don't want to shake. Good luck getting this set up. And I want those shoes. The Vlade Divoxes. Whatever shoes you're wearing. These are the Vladi Divas. What are your shoes you're wearing on Sunday? These are the 2004 Vladi Divas. They're sweet. Speaking of those shoes, maybe it makes you a better shooter than whatever is normal day to day for you. I've been waiting for this. You see your shoes yet? Yeah.
3:07:07Yeah, dude. It's crazy. Look at that sharp cheddar. Look at Zach. They're twins, dude. My God, look at that. Looks just like him. That's you, huh? Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? That is, Adam. You sure that's not Ed Harris from Apollo 13? Yeah, you're right. We'll be right back. What a call. What a call, man. Wait, wait, speaking of pictures that don't look like you, I gotta cut to this real quick. You had Joe Montana, the legend on this morning. Joe Montana, I mean, what a sweet guy. I want to booze with that guy so bad. I almost ran over here just to crack one open. Go ahead. Are these his? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:07:36Joey. That's Joe's beard. They're still cold. Joe, dude, shut up. The legend's longer. Matty's got a picture, so let me set it up real quick. All right, here it is. Here it is. Joe Montana's still got it. I see that. Yep. Joe Montana's still breathing. It's cold. My 2005, I'm going to school, sorry. This whole place blows up, I'm sorry, I love you, Mom. But I'm graduating from school theater at USC in Southern California. Who the hell is that guy? And Joe Montana. That's - Joe Montana is visiting campus with his daughter and I was in a play and it was the first time I grew a lot of facial hair out for a play.
3:08:06So I had a full beard. I mean, dude, Russian Jew, it comes in, dude. That's you? Yeah, that's me. So I shaved my beard. I shaved my beard so I could have a mustache for the first time and walk around campus. I bought a Fila jumpsuit, I had aviators. all my kids in my acting class, my frat I'd walk up to them and be like, hey you guys know where the bike rack is around here? And everybody was like, dude I don't. And I was like, it's me, Adam. They're like, what the fuck? So I see Montana at the school theater and I'm like, dude what are the odds I have this creepy ass porn star detective stash?
3:08:30And I go, Joe, big fan. He goes oh thanks man. I go, I know I look 49 but I'm actually 19. And he goes oh yeah? And I go, yeah. He goes, my daughter's trying to check out the school theater. And I was like, yeah it's a great spot. And I go, you mind if you get a pic? And fucking look at that dude. That's amazing. Look at that stash, though. He's got a good light. He should have that framed, obviously. Yeah. I mean, that's. We should have tried to get that signed by Paisano. I should have, dude. Yeah, for you. You look good. That's a real Dr. Phil stash right there. It really is. Well, you know, there's a lot behind the stash, you know.
3:08:56Did you retire, Dr. Phil? Did I? We're doing a few in Australia and then five in Canada next year. You're sick of doing it? I just did one on Kill Tony, so that'll be out soon. But that's. I did it for two and a half, three years. I mean, I'd come in full Phil on the Pat McAfee show anytime. But we just gotta, after the Seahawks win, how about that? We organize a - No chance. No chance. What if the Patriots win though? Yeah, Dr. Phil's dead. Definitely. Then I'll come on as Jill Biden, I don't know. Yeah. Come all over you. Yeah, I appreciate that. All right, charity super shot, Adam. All right, what's the charity for again?
3:09:27Your choice. My God, how about this? There's a charity called the Alexander Hamilton Scholars Association in Seattle. His name was Alexander Hamilton. Yeah, we've seen it. We got depth. Yeah, they give a lot of money to low income, high achieving high school kids that are trying to get to college. Kids that live in a studio apartment with eight or nine siblings and their grandma raising their family with straight A's trying to make something of themselves and everybody needs a boost. So they give money and they got leadership weeks and service trips and they just kind of stay connected with these kids over 25 years.
3:09:58And it's pretty dope. People forget about the kids and that's what we can't all be Drake May, right? Amen. That's what the future is, brother. And Alexander Hamilton's still bringing it on. Adam, if you make this, you have three attempts at this. Let's go. If you make the first one, 20 ,000. Wow. Second and third one, only 10 ,000. I will say, great athletes have missed this shot a lot. I did lead the Shortgrass Scots in three-point shooting from 1999 to 2001. That's sick. Who was this? What was this? Shortgrass Scots in Seattle, Washington, shout out. I also won a free throw competition in Gig Harbor in the fifth grade.
3:10:32I also won my wife a giant SpongeBob at Universal on one of those those rigged, you know those hoops that are like - Wow, that's what this is. Yeah, that's what this is. That's probably the most impressive one. Yeah, exactly. 1 ,000, the backboards are not real backboards. Rooms. The guys who run the games are always just like getting in your head like, you ain't shit, bitch. And you're just like, Jesus Christ. Yeah, if those guys didn't all go to jail, they'd be incredible business. State Fair people are the greatest. They are so good at what they do. The carny guys at the hoop game, we should all want at least one of those in our entourage.
3:11:01I don't know about that. But I certainly will go play. I agree to disagree. I agree to disagree. But they - No, no, you're right. Easy, pal. Where the hell are you going? No, that's where Amber, that's where women's flag football champion, future champion was shooting from. I think that's what I was looking at. All right. There she is right there. There she is right there, Amber's Clark. I was always taught cookie jar. Remember that? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so if you cookie jar, that's State Fair ball right there. Into that hoop,$20 ,000 donation to the Alexander Hamilton. Yeah, Scholars Foundation.
3:11:31All right. That is helping a lot of people up there. A little bit of support here from the peanut gallery. How about that? Peanut Gallery, that's where we're taking a talk to these people. All right, Adam. Adam. Adam. Adam. Adam. Adam. Oh. Not a terrible attempt. Oh, yeah. Great chest. Nice. Triple threat. Triple threat. Last one. Last one. All right, Eric. Am I going back? Am I going back? I don't know. You tell us. Hold on, don't shoot you. Good defense. AJ actually has a message to send to you here before you take your last attempt at winning some money for the Alexander Hamilton. Scholars Foundation.
3:12:05In Seattle. Cannot wait to... What other comedian, do you think Burt Kreischer would beat you out of three shots? Yeah. Mickey Mantle, Gene, brother. He's sneaky athletic. He's sneaky athletic. I've never seen Burt actually, like, swing a bat or shoot a basketball. I've never seen him shoot. He can swing a baseball bat. I've seen that. Yeah, okay. I think if you're talking comedians that could actually... That was a bit condescending. Wow. Is Rife an athlete? Is Rife an athlete? Kevin Hart, good athlete. Rife's a sneaky athlete. I think Santino, he's got a pretty good jumper. Fluffy. Santino owes money.
3:12:34Yeah. Great golfer. Great golfer. He took the under on the Bears. Yeah. Yeah. He owes charity as well. Yes, he does. Fluffy's playing with Shams in the All-Star thing, I think. Fluffy is? Yeah. Fluffy's in the NBA. I read that. I don't know what story. Gabriel. Iglesias. Iglesias, yeah. I think he wrestled, right? He's got a jumper, too. Yeah. WWE. Oh, yeah. I think he's had a. He said he can drop step dunk from the block. I was going to say he's a heavyweight champion. you. Tone Diggs right there, not wearing a cowboy hat, dressed in all black. Would like to send a message your way before you attempt to do the impossible and make this shot for the Alexander Hamilton Scholars Foundation.
3:13:10You missed your first attempt and your second attempt. Yeah. But we've learned that doesn't have to matter. Just like Sam Darnold. He fucked up all of his first attempts as well. Now he's at the Super Bowl. Here's your Super Bowl, pal. Oh my god, dude. You're drinking Joe Montana's beer. Do it for Darnold. The charity super shot. Man, that's a bad omen. That's bad for the Seahawks. One more and I'll double it. Okay, okay, all right, one more and you'll match you say? I'll match. Well, we got a lot of theaters. Maybe some.
3:13:53Wow,
3:13:56wow. One more and I'll double it. Hey, that's incredible for Alexander Hamilton. Yeah, dude. So what amount do we settle on? 40. I think it's gonna be your match in 20, I'm doing 20? Done. Good for you. That was awesome. That was awesome, man. That was incredible. Did you see that? No, he's in the chat. He made it on his first one. Yeah, did he really? Yeah, bank. He went off the bank too, Jesus. Yeah, he was unbelievable. It's a real athlete. Today was unbelievable. Yeah, you guys are killing him. Raised a lot of money. That's super cool, buddy. Yeah. Had a lot of great conversations. Learned a lot of things, broke some news, chatted about a bunch of stuff.
3:14:32Yeah. Had Adam Ray here. Come on. What a day today. What a day. I got a bus. Got a cheese bus. Yeah, I got cheese bus. Wait, who didn't make that? Because a killer bug is my no joke and that's a shout out a cheese brand. I think cheese is doing just fine, but it is my favorite cheese. Let him bite the nose. Miss Brown, I believe her name was. Miss Brown? Look, it says it right at the bottom. Nancy designed it, bite it. Nancy. I do, yeah. She used a chainsaw to do that. Yeah. I have a calic right there actually. And that's why. She had that in there right? Bingo. That's delicious. You can get a cracker too if you want.
3:15:04Yeah, Joe brought those actually. Joe just had a rinse in his pocket from a month ago. Montana had month old riches. Yeah. The stars are just like us. Yeah, they are. He's from - Look what I found. There you go dude. Have your son. There it is. That's Nancy, right? There's Nancy. She's killing it. That's actually a very cool. Yeah. It's a weird way to honor someone, but it's very cool. Well, Tillamook's a cheese company. Sharp chatter from Tillamook. Yeah, it's a cheese company. If you were an artist like that, I mean, come on. Yeah, come on, I mean, you think she can work with wood? Before we get out of here, I assume she could ice.
3:15:36Ice, ice, ice, I think she could do wood. Cement, anything that can work full. You can sculpt, you can sculpt. Yeah, probably do the statue of David if she wants. You guys know how to open these things? What, Tillamook? Yeah. You guys know how to do this? Why are you opening that when you got a whole block? Yeah, he's grabbed. He's got a cracker. He's trying to get a little. Grab him a handful. I'll take a bite in your nose. Get his nose off. Yeah, wait, the Saigon whore bit my nose off. Come on, dude. Let's keep my nose off. Please. Grab a collar. There you go. Hey, for your crackers. For your crackers.
3:16:10Boom. For your crackers. For your Montana crackers. Cheers to you, dude. Good luck with everything. And to your seat. I love you guys. Thank you, man. All right, we're gonna wrap up here with Tone's bet of the day. Tone, you will be giving us your favorite bet from each day that you have seen or found. What is today's bet on DraftKings? Yeah, I decided to go wild today. I did two of them, okay? And it's both quarterbacks over. Sam Darnold over 230 and a half passing yards. Drake May over 220 and a half passing yards. Bruce, if you could pull up the stats for these run defenses. The Seahawks best in the NFL.
3:16:43Lowest in the NFL, 3.8 yards per rush. They have not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season. Patriots basically just as good. So I think both teams are going to have a hard time running the football. I think the quarterbacks are going to have to throw the football and those are both very low totals. Drake May went over this total in 15 out of 20 games this year. What a stud. The only ones he didn't were the three snow games and then two blowouts. So Drake basically does this every time. And then in close games, Sam Darmer went over this eight out of ten games. So if they were in a game and they had to throw, Sam went over this eight out of ten times.
3:17:14So I'm taking both overs for the quarterbacks. That's AP Terns playing. Good play. great work in the back boys great work back there foxy and that boys hey we got a little bit more uh we got a little better setup in the back yeah oh yeah a lot more good a lot more room yeah it's not just full chaos back there it was a lot better yeah it was thousand times better yeah today was fun yeah absolutely incredible great start we're back tomorrow boom and friday too go hawks come see me on tour is that okay what are you plugging yeah Yeah, adamraykami.com, the Who Is Me Theater Tour. I'll be in Indy soon.
3:17:50We're locking that up soon. I'll let you guys know. How many shows this year? Man, maybe 80, 90 on the books, but we're getting a fall tour ready to go. We got Detroit coming up, Minneapolis, Vegas at the win in March, the North Carolina, South Carolina, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and then Australia, Canada, and then fall's coming up soon. Australia's so far. It is far. We're doing three Dr. Phil's out there. They're already sold out, so we might add a second one. But we've only done two in one night once before, so it'll be a lot. What city? Melbourne, Brisbane. Oh, Brisbane. Brisbane, they get it.
3:18:20That one's – I mean, and they just love American comedy. I mean, they have all our stuff. You know, they're just – can't get enough. They got Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie, but – They do have those guys. Summer High Tide. Summer High – great show. Brisbane Lions back-to-back AFL champs. Yeah. Yeah, I was in Brisbane before the football season started. Oh, they love you down there. Beautiful city. Yeah, it is. Beautiful city, like brand-new type city. Oh, yeah. Granite sidewalks. What? Yeah, like the buildings. That's cool. It's Brisbane. I think they're hosting the Olympics in 2030-something, I think.
3:18:48That's going to be wild. So they build up a lot. 2030, yeah. It was like it was a movie. I felt like I walked onto a movie set so much so I thought it was Truman Show because you're on a plane for something. Oh, yeah. They walk out, and it's like everything's brand new. How do you pass the time on a 17-hour flight? Movies and pills, or what do you do? Okay, so definitely find the pill time in there. Yeah. Out like a light, out like a light. Depends on when you land. If you're landing in the morning. Yeah. So I was with First Sergeant Gartland. Yeah. So Gartland had done a lot of trips to Asia and to Australia in long trips.
3:19:16So we were landing in morning of Australia. So if you're able to power all the way through to the final seven, eight, nine hours, whatever you're going to sleep for, just wake up in the morning, feels like you can beat the kind of jet lag or whatever. Yeah. So you have to power through there, and that's like a 20-hour, 24-hour power through. So I made it until about eight and a half hours until we got there. Took a couple bad boys. Good night. Woke up in Australia. Start the day. Did not feel anything. That's a pro. Yeah, it was good play. Now you beat it. I messed it up. I watched like, I think I watched three out of the 12 air buds.
3:19:48Then I watched that movie Wonder with the kid with the fucked up nose and Owen Wilson is like, it's not that bad. You know? She's like, you want to talk. But great, I sobbed, I cried the whole movie. And then fell asleep and woke up the wrong way. I woke up just so beat. With four hours left probably still in the flight. Yeah, yeah, that'll get you. That'll get you. So power through, brother. I appreciate it. But you know who's gonna be well rested? Seattle Seahawks, dude. Flew an hour, so see you on Sunday. We'll see. I can't wait to host you. I can't. I got so many places in Seattle or LA to take you to.
3:20:18I won't make it to Seattle. I'll be strung up somewhere. You'll come to LA. LA, you're all about it. Or maybe Indy. One of the two. We'll take a night at the store. We'll go to Ocean Prime or we'll go to Katana or Lowry's. Wow. Maybe we'll go downtown to the Palms. Maybe we go to Boston. Maybe I make you fly from Seattle all the way to Boston. Maybe you guys are shipping up to Boston. I love Boston. Two shows of the Wilbur. I love Boston. Yes. We'll rip it up there. But yeah, we'll make LA the first stop. And then if we're really just connecting, we'll go to Boston. Why not Omaha? Why not? Let's go for the College World Series.
3:20:51Yeah, why don't you guys kind of meet in the middle? It's not a bad idea. Yeah. All right, we'll figure this out. Go out of the country. Go somewhere far. I'll go to Australia. Go to Australia. Yeah, I'll just come. Yeah, you're going to have to write coach for that trip, though. Okay. Unless I get one more shot for the ticket. All right. Be a friend, tell a friend something nice might change your life, we're in this thing together. Team on me, anything to say, Adam?
3:21:14Team on three. I love my wife Amanda, go Seahawks. And to my eighth grade girlfriend who said I would never make it on the Pat McAfee show in 2026, this one's for you, bitch. Nailed it. Hell yeah. I love you, mom. She's having a great life. She lives up north, she's got like nine kids, she's great. All right, we appreciate you bringing her up at this exact moment. Keep tabs on her. Yeah, it sounds like you are kind of creeping a little bit, but hey, that's social media. So dude, what pops up on your feed you can't control. The algo sends me unexpected animal friendship videos and then like weird animal attack videos.
3:21:46It's not what I want, it's just what I've been given. And on that note, we'll be back tomorrow. We're all in this thing together, let's never forget it. Team on me, team on three. One, two, three, team. Goodbye.
