00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back in OTV here on this Wednesday morning.

8
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,679
We got LSU linebacker what Weeks joining us in about

9
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,079
thirty minutes from now, Anthony Nardo good enough to just

00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:37,159
hang out with us. We're like, hey, we're just gonna

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,119
force you to come chill, hang out. I can't leave this,

12
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:44,119
I know no doubt about it. All right, Flynn, I

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,640
hope you got at least one question ready. Uh, you

14
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:50,159
don't have one ready?

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: I asked my question.

16
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:52,039
Speaker 2: That was it?

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,719
Speaker 4: The one so simple to just chat.

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,159
Speaker 3: EBT would you right or other? Yeah?

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: What all you? Right now? I got that be where

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,159
your feet are in the studio right now. I was

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,680
you can we we ring my high in fifty nine

22
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:09,560
minutes we were off.

23
00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 5: I took your chair. You're standing. It's a different element,

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,200
So I'll give you. I'll take the blame for that.

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,079
Three chairs is a bit much to ask for.

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Well, three of the same chairs because like there's that

27
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:22,959
one over there, but then you end up being like

28
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,840
six inches lower than everybody else, and it's just it's

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,239
a whole situation. So all right, we used to have

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,400
imaging for this. You would have to go I know,

31
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,040
you would have to go so far back in the archives.

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,439
Speaker 3: How long is a long time, isn't it?

33
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,239
Speaker 2: So when I first so, you and I used to

34
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:45,480
do this on hanging with hester like way back, used

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,000
to come up with a question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,159
te Bob used to do it. I think I think

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,079
he did it with Geordie as well. We kind of

38
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:52,680
stopped whenever.

39
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:53,239
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,879
Speaker 2: Maybe t Bob didn't like it, but I love it.

41
00:01:56,879 --> 00:01:59,680
It can be sports, it can be whatever, whatever, whatever.

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,439
So I'm just gonna ask you, would you rather? We're

43
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:04,079
gonna go around the room. I mean, I'm gonna ask

44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560
a question. We're gonna get four answers. It's not that hard,

45
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:08,719
pretty self explained to her. You would think, so I

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,479
just came up with a question. Thank God, think of

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,120
some All right, here we go, would you rather? Wednesday?

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,000
We're gonna have imaging in the whole deal for this,

49
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,360
but we're gonna do it every Wednesday. Would you rather

50
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:24,520
have a ten year solid NFL career with no Pro Bowls?

51
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:31,319
Or one legendary season and flame out? So ten super

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,159
solid years but you never reached that peak of being

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,439
elite or having like an MVP one off crazy season

54
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:41,280
and then you just kind of go away. How many

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,159
years do you play though? Like, do you like, are

56
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:46,120
you on a rock, like just kind of you flame out?

57
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:52,800
Maybe you spend years in my car? Wow? Or maybe

58
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,520
you know maybe does.

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: It include a super insurance?

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,439
Speaker 2: Would be okay on that? So like I feel like that.

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,960
I mean, we look, there's a quarterback in Cleveland, Like

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,280
he didn't get hit by a car, but he did

63
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:04,280
some things and so like he kind of flamed out, right,

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,879
you know what I mean? So you want ten solid

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,840
years or do you want the one season?

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,319
Speaker 3: I guess where you're like, would be does that once

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,800
you get you win the super Bowl?

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,439
Speaker 2: Huge question?

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,439
Speaker 3: Huge question if you win the super Bowl and taking

70
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,560
the one Okay, Also what year in your career because

71
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:21,719
it's year three.

72
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Day.

73
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: He's like, I wasn't prepared for all these super bowl

74
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:31,439
I'm going one year. If it's a no super Bowl,

75
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,520
then I'm going to.

76
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, I think I'm I'm probably in this.

77
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: That was my first question, Like if I get a ring, yeah,

78
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,360
I can be okay with it, all right, but otherwise

79
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,400
I want the consistency.

80
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:44,159
Speaker 4: So I was worried about the background music, so I

81
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,000
didn't really hear what the question is.

82
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,479
Speaker 2: Would you rather a ten year NFL career where you

83
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,800
never like reached like the best status, right you never

84
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,199
in that upper echelon group or one legendary season an

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,879
you flame.

86
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:00,479
Speaker 3: Out, I'll be one wonder.

87
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm surprised by this.

88
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,439
Speaker 6: Okaye probably still make more money in the ten years

89
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:09,319
a ten year, So I'm going ten years because like

90
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,919
for me, I played a position that you know, didn't

91
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:16,639
get a lot of love.

92
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: But like I love the fact that I, you know,

93
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,800
I was able to get six years and consistent and

94
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,639
invested like in all all that stuff. Like I always

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,959
think about, like what kind of career I'd want to have.

96
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,879
I would much rather play six years and play like

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,720
in all six of those years and be a starter

98
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,240
than like a fifteen year career where I started, like

99
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120
looking at you, Chase Daniel, like seven games. Yeah, yeah,

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,680
you know what I mean. I got much rather a

101
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,680
six year career where I was like a dude on

102
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,439
the team that actually contributed.

103
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: It's a lot of thought because if you're grinding your

104
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,079
own special team.

105
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Listen, I've already told you this. I'm going to be

106
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,120
eating out of a straw at sixty five. I didn't

107
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,319
know that at the time. Yeah, I do it all again.

108
00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: Here's another thing that you think about with the ten

109
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,519
year thing. I just thought about this too. Ten years

110
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,439
is a long time with a lot of teammates. You

111
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,040
meet a lot of people who make a lot of connections.

112
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: Along the way. And if you're a part.

113
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,399
Speaker 5: Of a team and you're like, you're not the super star,

114
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:10,360
but you're the grinder in there.

115
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: You're making your boys with a lot of guys like you.

116
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,279
How many boys you have because you play for different If.

117
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,959
Speaker 3: I'm a super Bowl winner and a Super Bowl MVP,

118
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,319
just one time, I can go to every.

119
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,879
Speaker 2: Door trip. Yeah, I love the spotlight.

120
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: All right, all right, so two hours. I got kind

121
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,920
of nervous when you asked your question because it's like

122
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,800
pretty similar to my question, but no different. Would you

123
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,319
rather win an Olympic gold medal in an obscure sport

124
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:40,040
that you that you can barely find on like the

125
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:41,800
back end of True Team, didn't know it was a sport,

126
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:46,720
didn't know the sport, or be a bench player in

127
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,240
the NBA. NBA makes money. It's not a question bench players. Yeah,

128
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:55,519
for him, it is for.

129
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:56,399
Speaker 2: Him, it is.

130
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think because it doesn't.

131
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: Like to not play. I don't like to that you

132
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,000
can make.

133
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:03,759
Speaker 4: Money as an Olympian, but not an obscure Olympian.

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 7: I don't feel like you can't know there's no money

135
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,240
and eventually a millionaires.

136
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: I just think the lifestyle of the loneliness of like

137
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,560
this week, I shouldn't say weird this unique sport, right,

138
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,519
there's probably not a lot of people around in not

139
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:19,680
support systems, but you might.

140
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: If you're good at this obscure sport, you might be

141
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,720
a gold medalist from your twenty twenty years old, your

142
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:28,759
your legacy.

143
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you and I talk about would be sick that

144
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,120
would that?

145
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love a gold medal of that. I

146
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:40,879
would be like, like, just talk about all we played

147
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,360
the one sport that literally you can't win a gold medal,

148
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,279
you know, Yeah, so this flight football, Yeah, but even

149
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,600
a difference different, there have no chance you can make

150
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,519
it come back but you never had it.

151
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:56,439
Speaker 3: Like you had all the me wo drink out of

152
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:00,439
your stroll like this.

153
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, like a bench player for the NBA.

154
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,560
You know how bitter I am about a bench player

155
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,480
for I know you are. But it's like the ninth

156
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:09,600
guy on an NBA bench makes seven times what I

157
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,399
made in my entire career being a six year starter

158
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:14,160
in the NFL, and you don't know any other name,

159
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,120
no clue in school, nothing, No, it's crazy, no clear.

160
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,759
The guy never even throws the warm up off, like

161
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360
those buttons that go they never even come off.

162
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: I didn't everyone. I didn't realize everybody here hated America

163
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:29,959
so much. You don't want you don't want to look

164
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:36,120
at that. You don't want to run. No, I'm going

165
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,399
to NBA. Okay, well.

166
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:44,399
Speaker 2: America. The best defender on the practice squad all day.

167
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:47,399
Anthony didn't have a computer. I feel bad like.

168
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,439
Speaker 4: He didn't have Do you want to ask one? Do

I'll go.

173
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:04,399
Speaker 4: I did chat GPT it and this is one that

174
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:05,800
it gave me that I kind of like would you

175
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,800
rather be the goat, like the greatest of all time

176
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:12,680
in any sport, but everybody hates you or kind of

177
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,120
average and everybody loves you, go.

178
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,519
Speaker 3: And be hated. If you're hated, you made it.

179
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't need I don't need to add of boys. Yeah,

180
00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:23,800
I just don't. I'm trying to be the best. Not

00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,600
my love language. I'm trying to be the best. And

182
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,720
if somebody hates you, you're doing something right.

183
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:29,319
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

184
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:30,759
Speaker 2: So I think I want to be the goat and

185
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,839
people just not like me.

186
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: Like it's okay for the people that you're competing against

187
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,159
to hate you, but you're doing something right.

188
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

189
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 3: But like, if everybody hates you, that means you're just the.

190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,519
Speaker 2: Are talking like fans and teammates too. Everybody hates you, tmates,

191
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:51,879
That's what I'm saying. It's like, at the end of

192
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,440
the day, there's six people the other six that live

193
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,279
in my house. If they love me, I don't really care,

194
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,399
So give me the goat. Everybody can hate me because

195
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,240
I'm not here to be your buddy, your best friend,

196
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,440
and and everybody loved me.

197
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: As long as like your teammates are cool with you.

198
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: Teammates are good with you because the Goats usually they

199
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,360
have a work ethic that is unmatched for anybody else.

200
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 5: And at least I can get behind and respect that

201
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,480
and like be like, you know what, I can.

202
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:20,159
Speaker 2: Understand why they don't like people didn't like Kobe. Yeah,

203
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,879
you know there's a large portion and like you sit

204
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:24,639
back and you look at who Kobe was. How do

205
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,720
you not love that guy? Absolutely? Like you might hate

206
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,879
the Lakers, but you're like, man, I could get behind

207
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,360
the way that guy's process was. It was all about that.

208
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 5: That's a goal, right, So the public sentiment is different

209
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:38,600
teammates and like organizational yeah you.

210
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 7: Ready, Yeah, I'll keep it sports related because we've all

211
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,919
done like these these team sports things. So individual wise,

212
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:48,480
professional golfer, professional tennis player, which one would you rather be?

213
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:49,200

00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

216
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: But I feel like if you if you're really good

217
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,639
at golf, you make a ton of money.

218
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: That's an easy question.

219
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,279
Speaker 7: But I think, like, I think I'm going to like tennis.

220
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: I think I play on the Live tool right now.

221
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: Like Jake said, you get to travel, you do it's fun,

222
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,399
you move a lot more. I don't know anything about.

00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 7: Golf, well, and the cool thing about tennis, like you

224
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,639
got the clay court, you got the grass court, Like

225
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:21,320
it's it's a little bit more diverse.

226
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,919
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, maybe maybe tennis. You're in better shape, your

227
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:27,759
heart's in better shape. Yeahs these days do work really hard.

228
00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: You're going in cool spots if you're like the best,

229
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,080

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,759
Speaker 3: You're going to Wimbledon until you're seventy, Like that's true

232
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,240
for sure.

233
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: You could be like John Daily super just drunk.

234
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a cowboy killers the.

235

237
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,159
Here we go real quick. Would you rather have your

238
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,159
I like this one? Would you rather have your jersey

239
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,639
retired by your hometown team? Will be a more mortalized

240
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720
in a famous sports movie as a legendary underdog.

241
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:07,879
Speaker 2: I'm underdog.

242
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: Movie because that's your life, like Rudy, Like you're already

243
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:15,200
think about Rudy.

244
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, think about Rudy, Like whose jersey's retired to Notre

245
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:24,039
Dame I don't know exactly. Yeah, I think it's like

246
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,120
it's Rudy's jersey. Probably not, there's actually for the movie.

247
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm actually pretty sure Rudy's teammates didn't like.

248
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: Yeahbably had a nice little podcast interview about that. But

249
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,000
still I was saying, like everybody like knows Rudy. That

250
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,639
was kind of like the first example, Like they make

251
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,519
movies about underdogs, they don't make movies about Michael Jordan

252
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,799
and what you're.

253
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jake's probably had both of these scenarios. He probably

254
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,799
has this jersey.

255
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: Retired in high school and you've heard you've heard my story.

256
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,320
I know you've never heard the story of total narrow

00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,759
A bunch. No, we don't listen. Thanks for being a

259
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,200
John Fox, our head coach. He's in front of the team.

260
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,759
He's trying to make a point. He's trying to make

261
00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:10,840
the point of everybody was somebody and the man somewhere

262
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:13,000
in their career, and we all got here, and now

263
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
we all got to come together. Nobody's bigger than the team.

264
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:17,120
You know that kind of speech. It's like, I mean, guys,

265
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:19,600
who in here? Doesn't have their high school jersey retired,

266
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,279
and it was me and the punter raised our hands no, yeah,

267
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,399
in front of the entire team. I mean I got,

268
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,879
I got Wes Welker, Eric Decker, Peyton Manning, No Sean Moreno,

269
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:35,639
like all just sitting here and I'm like, look, other

270
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,519
people are gonna put me and then would over here

271
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:45,519
have our hands up from Jersey Bays Jersey. No. Sean

272
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,559
is one of the funniest human bities of all time,

273
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,559
and so he ripped me.

274
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, They're like, Angel, You're immediately texted calling your coach.

275
00:12:57,799 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: Like, how was I what?

276
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: They only have one jersey retired at Evangel, which is

277
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,120
crazy because Brock Berlin was National players didn't he does

278
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:08,720
not have his retire They've had first They've had a

279
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:11,519
first round pick that was a third round pick. They've

280
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:14,720
had NFL guys. Josh Booty is the only one that

281
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:18,080
has his jersey retired. His brother, who won two Rose

282
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,720
Bowls at USC as a starting quarterback, doesn't have his.

283
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:22,919
It was the same number, but it's for Josh.

284
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: I was going to guess. I was going to guess

285
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,960
John David. Yeah, oh my gosh, what I'm one be

286
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,360
better retired. This man's not his but brock Berlin.

287
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: Brock Berlin was the USA Today high School Player of

288
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,919
the Year. Retire that man, yeah yeah, wow, oh my,

289
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,320
And he won an Orange Bowls the quarterback for Miami.

290
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,000
So there you go more.

291
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: You know, Sanna, isn't he the owner of like the

292
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,759
greatest tier in like sports history national anthem?

293
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why that's right. Yeh, that's right.

294
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: That looks like it's like a I generated back. Yeah,

295
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,279
it is the perfect too.

296
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can tell some of his

297
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:07,120
stories on air, like not like that, not like that.

298
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:12,840
But he had the funniest list of kangaroo court finds. Yeah,

299
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:16,559
it was so funny. I'll tell one that would be

300
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,480
a funny segment. So I'll tell I'll tell one real

301
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:21,519
quick before we get out of here. So Ronnie hillm

302
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,679
and Ben rest in peace. Ronnie passed away. But Ronnie

303
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,519
was was a guy that was a big hand clapper.

304
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,840
When he messed up, our coach hated it. So no,

305
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:30,960
Sean's like, hey, we gotta put that up on the board, Like, man,

306
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:32,799
you got in trouble for that, like so many times,

307
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,480
like we got to put up on the board any

308
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,720
handclap is one hundred dollars, and so he missed a

309
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:40,039
pass protection. We're playing against I think the Browns of

310
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,720
the Bucks, one of those teams I can't remember. He

311
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,039
missed a pass protection. Peyton got sacked like it was

312
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,399
it was a bad deal. So like Ronnie's like he's

313
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:49,639
a young player, so he's like watching tape and just

314
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,480
like you can tell, like it bothered him. He didn't

315
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,559
want a joke right then. But no Sean, well, no

316
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:55,559
Sean was a joker and No Sean was going to

317
00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:57,879
keep up with the kangaroo court. And so we played

318
00:14:57,879 --> 00:14:59,759
the player or whatever and not No Sean's like, oh

319
00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:01,960
well hold up, hold on, go back, go back, go back,

320
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,960
And everybody's like this is like what happened? What Ronnie do? Whatever?

321
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,480
And he goes back and Ronnie's like hand clapping like

322
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,720
over and over and over, like he countered. Man he's

323
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,240
slow mode goes one, two, three, I mean he gets

324
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,120
all the way up. He had like nine hundred bucks

325
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,320
of like hand claps, and like Ronnie's like, I just

326
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,240
got Peyton Manning crushed. Yeah, no shots like up in

327
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:27,639
front of the room, slow mode, just counting the hand claps,

328
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,720
wait wait, wait, wait, man, I mean that that was

329
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,000

be asking some of these questions to the wives. She's like,

367
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,200
you played ten years for sure, sod of the one

368
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,319
year I chose to you.

369
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,079
Speaker 2: I know you did. I didn't thank you, Lacy. I

370
00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:58,640
appreciate it. Back you played? How made you play? Eight? Wow?

371
00:17:58,759 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: At eight?

372
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,839
Speaker 2: Or me? Yeah? Six?

373
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:03,039
Speaker 5: No?

374
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,559
Speaker 2: We do look at games play. It's a different story.

375
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,880
Y'all have to understand me, and have been doing this

376
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,279
for since two thousand and four, And it was pretty

377
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:24,440
immediate that we were going to be slappies together. We

378
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,079
were roommates on the road in two thousand and four,

379
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:30,960
so my freshman year, his red shirt freshman year, and

380
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,960
it's almost like coaches knew we had too much fun

381
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,079
and they wouldn't allow us to be roommates after that year,

382
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,559
was like, nah, you're gonna be with the I guess

383
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:48,279
it would have been jam Marcus or m rand Rand

384
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:50,680
and JaMarcus was so five. You would have had a

385
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:52,480
room with JaMarcus, I think. And then did you have

386
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,039
to parent? Was parently your roommate maybe at one time

387
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,119
or no? Jimmy Walker no? Or do you have JaMarcus?

388
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,519
I'm trying to pick up my you hatch Jared, we didn't.

389
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,359
We didn't room our last year. No, they wouldn't let us.

390
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,039
Speaker 3: I think they might have put me or maybe we did.

391
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I know Jimbo is like.

392
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: Nah, it could have been it could have been j

393
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:13,359
It could have been Jared y.

394
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:17,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because I so I went from you being

395
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:19,400
my roommate on the road and at the love Cook

396
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:23,599
to it being Joe d In five, and then it

397
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,400
was Ali Brussard and O six and then actually it

398
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,720
was Chuck Scott and O seven. So yeah, I remember

399
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,759
it now as I lay it out.

400
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,039
Speaker 3: I think me and JaMarcus were roommates our first year. Yeah,

401
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:37,079
and then it is not the second then US five

402
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,599
and six, Yeah, I guess it was. I guess I

403
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,240
roomed ajerately after that. We did room in a training

404
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:44,799
camp for.

405
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:45,759
Speaker 2: Last year though.

406
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:49,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, West Apartment, West Camp. Isn't it crazy that

407
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,400
West Campus apartments is now like old, like decrepit. Yeah.

408
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,640
I was there for the first like the yeah, like

409
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,799
pop the bottle of champagne on.

410
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was because my first summer was

411
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:01,839

Speaker 2: Right, I wasn't in school, Yes, they put me to

416
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,640
East Campus I think maybe yeah for something.

417
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 3: That summer was different because you could officially like yeah,

418
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,079
move in, yeah, unless you were already there, right uh.

419
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,279

Speaker 2: Turn that ac down about fifty five.

424
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, where did the athletes stay at the I think

425
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:33,480
it's like the new Pentagon was trash when we were there. Yeah,

426
00:20:33,559 --> 00:20:36,359
that's where. That's where I stayed for my first training camp.

427
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:39,200
Me and Marcus Randall were roommates and training camp at

428
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,000
the old Pentagon. Yeah, and it was like welcome to college.

429
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,759
Speaker 2: Bud was my senior year. I'm like coach Miles, I'm married.

430
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:48,319

433
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,680
I got there. Definitely not that definitely did not happen

434
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,640
Stelt's it was like Stell his girlfriend was definitely not there.

435
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,559
Sewn Jordan's girlfriend was definitely not in that situation. Lacey

436
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,000
was nowhere to be seen. I don't know what you're

437
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,559
talking about.

438
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 3: Uh, it's all about football, but all about ball, all

439
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,000
about ball, I will tell you.

440
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: In teammate in two thousand and five, Joe and I

441
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,440
one of my favorite teammates of all time, the most

442
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,799
athletic person that I played with at LSU. When I

443
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:27,160
got here and I saw number ten, I said, so,

444
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,920
wait a minute, you want me to play the same

445
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,400
position as that human that's the thing, Like him and

446
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,640
I are going to end up playing like yeah yeah,

447
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,160
And no disrespect to any of the other running backs

448
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,880
that were on the roster at the time. They didn't.

449
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,960
I got peace of mind when I was like, oh, oh,

450
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,680
he's more like me.

451
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,759
Speaker 3: Oh yeahkas the outliers.

452
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: That guy, yeah, crazy, crazy athlete, that's why he's a

453
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:53,480
first round pick, played and won a Super Bowl. But

454
00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:55,079
he would wake up in the middle of the night

455
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,119
and the love cook cookies were famous, and he was

456
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,160
just like, not even knowing it. He would wake up

457
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,640
and he'd eat cookies in his sleep. I'm like, Joe, dude,

458
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,799
you crush like three cookies in your sleep last night.

459
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:08,400
I was like, no, I didn't know. Now, Joe, you

460
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,279
ate three cookies in your sleep?

461
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,519
Speaker 3: Saw you with my eyes.

462
00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:13,279
Speaker 2: And he even like he even finished it with some

463
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:15,880
milk and he didn't even know he did it. So

464
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,960
that was like he I.

465
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,519
Speaker 3: Don't think there was refrigerators in those rooms.

466
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: There was another way. Yeah, no, no, there was refrigerators. Yeah.

467
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,079
And then so like the next year when Ali Brussard

468
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,480
was my roommate. Ali would keep me up because he

469
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:33,279
would be working on his wraps. So he'd be in

470
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:36,680
the corner and he'd be putting together a rap and

471
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,880
he was trying to like you know, he's doing it

472
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,640
into the phone or whatever device he had or trying

473
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,119
and he play it back to see if it was

474
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,400
like a good, you know whatever, Like I don't I'm

475
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,240
not in the game. I don't know, but like he

476
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,519
would play it back, and my man would stay up late.

477
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:51,440
He'd stay up late out there.

478
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: Not in the game.

479
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, but like he would

480
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,119
be in the corner like of the other room and

481
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,359
that's what he was doing. So like and I got

482
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,400
Chuck Scott and he would go to sleep before me.

483
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,240
I'm like, okay, all right, good, we're good, We're good,

484
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:05,720
We're golden.

485
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,839
Speaker 3: Here. Did y'all have to in the NFL? Did y'all

486
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,200
stay in any apartment, dorm, hotel situation for camps? Did

487
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,599
y'all y'all stayed right?

488
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: Now? We stayed. We did. We were right by our

489
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,559
facility in both the places that I was. So we

490
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,039

491
00:23:24,079 --> 00:23:25,279

492
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: That's real state.

493
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: Yep.

494
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: When we in Green Bay, we would stay in uh

495
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,559
Saint Norbert's College and to Peer, Wisconsin, which is just

496
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,799
like right outside of Green Bay. Yeah. St. Norbert's College.

497
00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:40,599
No one's ever heard of it.

498
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,079
Speaker 2: Never. No.

499
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,599
Speaker 3: We stayed in these old like like again like old school,

500
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,480
like Pentagon type dorms. It was three three story level.

501
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:50,920
It was like a It was like a rectangle with

502
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,839
a courtyard in the middle outside like staircases all the

503
00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:57,200
way up to the doors, and good god, it was.

504
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,720
It was not very comfortable situation for being an NFL team.

505
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,279
And yeah, you're not like trying to like break people

506
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:07,279
at that point in career. You're professional football players. Yeah,

507
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:09,640
but everybody from you know, the top, like Aaron Rodgers,

508
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:13,000
whatever your career staying at Saint Norber's. But that place

509
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,759
was haunted. Yeah, absolutely, one thousand haunted. Yeah, and there

510
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:20,960
was every year there was stories that came out and

511
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,880
it was like, yeah, we get it.

512
00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: It is funny you're talking about like Aaron Rodgers staying

513
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,319
in that place, right, It's like when I'm with Peyton

514
00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:31,519
Man and he's staying at the same Radison in right,

515
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,400
we're staying up training camp. You know, you know how much?

516
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,720
And you would never know. I mean Peyton literally pulls

517
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:40,759
up to the hotel in a buick. That's that's what

518
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:42,799
he That's what he drives. I think he has a sponsorship,

519
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,400
but still he's driving a buick and he pulls up

520
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,640
and gets his bag and going. This Radison in and

521
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,000
goes and it's just like man's guy's worth a lot

522
00:24:50,039 --> 00:24:53,920
of money, but he's he's worried about ball, right, even

523
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,359
get a sweet? Nah, there's no sweet.

524
00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: He was sharing a door with somebody. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah,

525
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,680
it's pretty I mean when we I went to other

526
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,039
teams and you stayed a different plague in Oakland, we

527
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,599

It was you're gonna go rough it at this terrible Oh.

00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,279
I mean it's a beautiful little campus like a hockey team.

532
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,000
They but the dorm room's not nice. There was no

533
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,359
arched gates entrances to the dorm room. Yeah yeah, I mean,

534
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,519
maybe I can tease that haunted story. But you know,

535
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,920

Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I'm doing good. I'm glad to be here.

575
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: All right. So I knew you. You grew up an

576
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Atlanta Braves fan. We had Chipper Jones on the show

577
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,960
on Monday. Now you're quite a bit younger than us,

578
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,559
and so maybe you missed like the Chipper days, but

579
00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:07,359
I did see I think recently I saw that you

580
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,680
went to a Braves game. You're from the state of Georgia.

581
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:12,839
Give me your Atlanta Brave memory.

582
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I remember Chipper when I was grown up. He

583
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,960
was he was coming to the end of his career.

584
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:21,200
But anytime I go home, we always try to get

585
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,079
up to Atlanta and go to a Brave game. Whether

586
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,359
that's me and my friends or go with my family,

587
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,480
they're always a good time.

588
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Gosh, I mean Chipper Jones as somebody that played.

589
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,319
He played long enough.

590
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 3: Where he was like a multiple generation with Week's Day.

591
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,119
Speaker 2: That's awesome there with So I know you've been like

592
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,960
all SEC some preseason All American stuff, but none of

593
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,279
that matters. You know why because for a second year

594
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:48,240
in a row over on my Serious XM show, we

595
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:51,799
put together the All Meathead radio team because you know me,

596
00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:54,200
meat has a term of endearment. It's in the field

597
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Steel College Football magazine, and a little breaking news here.

598
00:28:58,759 --> 00:29:01,079
For the second year in a row, you are the

599
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:03,519
Mike linebacker on the All Meathead Team.

600
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 8: Let's go. That's the biggest honor I've gotten.

601
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:13,559
Speaker 2: Okay, and I want to ask you this, if if

602
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:16,799
you could add an LSU teammate to the All Meatthead team,

603
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:18,880
because I put a couple on there. I think there

604
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,359
was I think there was three total LSU guys. Which

605
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,480
teammate would you put on the All Meathead team?

606
00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 8: Easily? Jack Fover, the new defensive ends from Florida. He's easily.

607
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: I'll let you know that Jack is the edge defender

608
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,119
on the All Meathhead team.

609
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:44,319
Speaker 3: That's good. So he So there's a term that's being

610
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:47,240
thrown around on social media right now, a nickname for you.

611
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,720
I don't know if you've seen it, hurt it, whatever

612
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:50,720
it is, but it's a huge term of endear man.

613
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,519
People out there are referring to you as the Honky Badger,

614
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,119
all right, obviously a shout out to to Tyr Matthew,

615
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,640
but it just goes to kind of show you there,

616
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,960
even comparing you, putting you in the same sentences that

617
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:05,640
of like how the LSU fan base as like falling

618
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,079
in love with your game, the attitude, the passion you bring.

619
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:12,160
Just talk to us about what the experience has been

620
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,359
like the last last year, year and a half for you,

621
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,440
just in South Louisiana, with the fan base, just knowing

622
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:21,200
like you're you're you're one of the guys that everybody

623
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:23,000
cheers for and loves right now.

624
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's really cool. I mean whenever I, you know,

625
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:29,440
came here as a freshman, coming down to South Louisiana

626
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:31,799
from walking to Georgia, it's a bit of a culture

627
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:34,680
shock for me. But really, I'm just I've fallen in

628
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,960
love with this place and with this culture and with

629
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,640
this community. So I could have been more excited to

630
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,079
be put in the same sentence as Tyron Matthew because

631
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:43,559
I remember when I was growing up, it was like

632
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:46,400
every every kid wanted to be the honey Badger. Like

633
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,680
when we're out of recess playing, we're like, oh, I'm

634
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,920
the honey Badger. I'm the honey Badger. So to be

635
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,519
putting the same sentence as him, it's it's pretty special now.

636
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: But I don't know if you remember this, but like

637
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,559
I was there for your official visit. It's actually the

638
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,000
only time that Lshu's ever like called me out of

639
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,240
the bullpen coach like BK called me. He's like, hey,

640
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,559
we got this linebacker out of Georgia, Like his brother's

641
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:10,920
gonna be here as a transfer, but his old man

642
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,319
played at Georgia, and like he's he's a big recruit,

643
00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:16,079
but he's not the highest rate of recruit, but we

644
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,319
got to have him, like whatever we do in this class,

645
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:20,799
like we got to sign this guy. And again, like

646
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:22,480
they called me, like, hey, when should come eat with

647
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:24,599
this guy, eat with his family, talk with his family.

648
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:26,480
And so I remember how big of a deal that

649
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,000
was because again, like they never asked me before, They've

650
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,079
never asked me again. It was like to get you

651
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,359
to try to come to campus. And so what was

652
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,599
that like for you? Because again, like you've got family

653
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,119
members that have played in other places. I mean, and

654
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,960
I know a family friend of y'alls, Billy Bullock was

655
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,039
my teammate there for the San Diego Chargers. I know

656
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:45,599
him and your dad are good friends, and he talks

657
00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:48,720
about how a player your dad was there at Georgia.

658
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:52,119
So for you, like what all went into that was it?

659
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,359
Because like LSU identified you and like we gotta have

660
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:55,839
that guy.

661
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:59,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's one of the main reasons. But I tell everybody,

662
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,440
really the three reasons that I came tell us you

663
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:06,200
is the people, the place in the football right when

664
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,799
I stepped on campus. I mean, everybody here was just

665
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,079
they were I mean they I just felt like they

666
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:14,200
were my type of people, good hardworking people. And then

667
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,279
the place, you know, I love I love the food.

668
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,759
I love crawfish, Cajun food, all that. And then the football.

669
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,799
I mean, obviously LSU's football is second to none. And

670
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,200
getting to play in Death Valley every weekend, you can't

671
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:25,559
beat that.

672
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

673
00:32:26,839 --> 00:32:31,039
Speaker 3: Well, you've been such like a bright spot on this LSU,

674
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:33,839
not only the defense, but the team the lot last year,

675
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,720
and it's just something that's been like refreshing for us.

676
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:41,480
You just the way your style of play, whether it's

677
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:43,920
you know, playing hard, getting a sack, but the motor

678
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,559
you play with, whether it's that or you know, doing

679
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:50,200
some some airshot guns of beer in the end zone

680
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:52,920
like all those things. It's a perfect place for you.

681
00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:58,079
So hey, going forward, like, talk to us about where

682
00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:01,799
you're at now, the team. You've been through spring practice.

683
00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:04,480
I'm assuming you've already started summer workouts, are about to

684
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,759
start summer workouts. Talk to us about the team, the defense,

685
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:09,160
how you're feeling going into this season.

686
00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:13,559
Speaker 8: I'm excited. I mean I'm more excited for this football

687
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:16,240
season than i've ever been. I mean me personally coming

688
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,160
off with injury. We just got cleared last week, so

689
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,759
my first workout back with the team was this past Monday.

690
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:25,480
We have our first team run today and a little

691
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:28,559
player ran practice this afternoon, so I'm looking forward to that.

692
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,759
But I mean, I think our defense is going to

693
00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:32,400
be special this year. I mean, the dudes that we

694
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,359
brought in on the transfer portal, they're all dogs and

695
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,640
you know, getting this step back and watch from the

696
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,039
sidelines this spring. I think that our defense this spring

697
00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:47,000
was better than we were last season. And you're missing

698
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:50,279
Me and Harold out there, so it's a promising sight

699
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:50,839
to see.

700
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: And also the guy y'all have got leading the defense,

701
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:57,880
Blake Baker. I mean, if there was a defensive coordinator

702
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,799
on the All meatthead team, Blake and I have talked

703
00:33:59,799 --> 00:34:03,319
to this, Blake would be the nomination from me. Uh.

704
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,759
I love every conversation I have with Blake, no matter

705
00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:08,679
if it's about football, if it's about life. I know

706
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,800
y'all have got a close relationship as well.

707
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,159
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I love that dude to death. I mean, whenever,

708
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:18,199
whenever the guy who's leading you into into battle, into

709
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,039
a football game, whenever, whenever you know that he has

710
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:23,079
your back and you have his back no matter what.

711
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,280
It's a refreshing feeling knowing knowing that the guy that's

712
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,519
leading you into into a football game is a good one.

713
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:33,199
Speaker 2: I mean, do you do you give him a hard

714
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,079
time for still wearing the cleats to a practice because

715
00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:38,599
he wants to be that involved. He wants to make

716
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,159
it seem like he's still athletic.

717
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 8: Oh, I love it. I mean I love it. Whatever

718
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:47,079
whatever you would do that's bringing that much energy every

719
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:49,440
single days, it's hard not to come in and be

720
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,920
excited to go play football.

721
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 3: I think I was a practice is either in the

722
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,760
spring or maybe maybe his last training camp, and there

723
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,480
was a throwaway. I think Grett threw it away, yeah,

724
00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:01,519
and Blake he reached out to catch it, he dropped

725
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:05,159
it and he was like he dropped down and had

726
00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:06,760
to do like twenty push ups or something like that.

727
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,519
I was like, Yeah, that's a dude, yep. That eleven

728
00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:12,559
guys are going to play their asses off four right there?

729
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,119
Speaker 8: Yeah exactly. You want to go play for that guy?

730
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? All right. So I know you've been out with

731
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,320
injury and so glad to hear that you got cleared

732
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,480
in your back and you're with the team working out.

733
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,599
So I don't know how much you've been around one

734
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:29,760
of our former teammates at LSU, Kyle Williams. Now Kyle

735
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,199
was Matt's roommate at LSU and certainly they lived right

736
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,360
above us. Man, we had some great times. He was

737
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,039
the ultimate teammate, had an incredible motor. Have you been

738
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:42,239
able to kind of see and maybe I hustle Kyle

739
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,519
working and how that's been him working with the defensive line.

740
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I've had a couple of conversations with him too.

741
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,320
I think I think he's a great fit for us,

742
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,360
and I know all the d linemen respect him and

743
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,440
respect respect his football career, and I think I think

744
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:06,039
he's a perfect defensive line coach for a.

745
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: All right, with there's uh, We're you're a great football player.

746
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,199
You seem like on social media a great fishermen as well.

747
00:36:10,199 --> 00:36:13,239
There's one thing that I think you've struggled with this spring,

748
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:19,280
and that is coaching flag football. Uh you Uh, Blake

749
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,800
Baker had to be somewhere this week. He was the case.

750
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:25,679
All right. So my son, my son Hawk, who's listening

751
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,039
right now, shout out to my son. Uh, but the

752
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,840
elite bingles out there playing flag football, so they had

753
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,719
to call all with Weeks in to be the defensive coordinator.

754
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,840
I think Nussells running the offense as well. Like what

755
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,320
a treat for these kids were But yeah, I think

756
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,000
Wit was blitzing about four guys every play, letting them lose.

757
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,760
We got beat, so I wouldn't want to.

758
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,519
Speaker 2: Which we got to break it down, like what was

759
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:54,719
the mindset? What defense were we thinking here?

760
00:36:55,679 --> 00:36:57,599
Speaker 8: We were being aggressive. I'm pretty sure we only let

761
00:36:57,679 --> 00:36:59,840
up two touchdowns. The offense couldn't put it in the end.

762
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,599
You're gonna need to call Hi Nutsmeyer and get on

763
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:06,360
him for that one.

764
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 3: That's a good gives it on the point.

765
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 2: You only give up two scores in flag football. I

766
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,639
don't care what age like, you're doing something right. This

767
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,360
is not on win. This is on nothing right.

768
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: It was funny too, all the kids because he can

769
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:20,360
blitz in that league and all the kids every play, Uh,

770
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,480
coach Wit, coach, Wait, can I blitz? He's like, yep,

771
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:24,440
gouple blitz yeplitz yep.

772
00:37:24,559 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 8: Yeah. We were sitting. We were sitting in the house

773
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,719
pretty much every play.

774
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:32,199
Speaker 2: Playing cover zero kids, you better get home because we

775
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,960
ain't got nothing back here in the back end. You

776
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,199
know what, I think you and I have actually talked

777
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,159
about this speaking of like blitzing, and obviously you do

778
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:43,039
a good job of it. There is nothing worse as

779
00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:46,360
a running back than when one of you turns playing

780
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,320
Mike linebacker comes through the A gap and like a

781
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,480
double a mug any kind of a gap pressure because dude,

782
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,639
you got a three way go on the running back.

783
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:57,840
You can go left, right, you can go through the

784
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,320
running back, and there's so much that I've got to protect.

785
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:03,159
The quarterback's obviously going to be taking this drop. He's

786
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,239
right there when you're blitzing through the A gap. I

787
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,199
want to get inside your brain a little bit here.

788
00:38:08,679 --> 00:38:11,199
Do you predetermine what you're going to do? Is it

789
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,519
based off the running backs leverage? Is it based off Look,

790
00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:16,800
this guy's one hundred and ninety five pounds soaking wet.

791
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,239
I am bull rushing this guy. Like, where do you

792
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,599
kind of go? Because you've had a lot of success

793
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,639
doing it whenever your number's called to be the guy

794
00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:25,760
that go gets the quarterback.

795
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say it really starts on Mondays when

796
00:38:29,639 --> 00:38:31,639
you're getting your scouting report on the running backs. If

797
00:38:31,639 --> 00:38:34,280
you're blitzing a two hundred and thirty pound running back,

798
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,840
you're not going to run right through his face. But

799
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,880
if you're blitzing one hundred and ninety pound running back,

800
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,719
you're running right through his face. So it really whatever

801
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,360
the scattering report has on him, and we have tips

802
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,480
and keys of all this, dude loses every time if

803
00:38:47,519 --> 00:38:49,320
he's trying to block a guy that's rushing to his

804
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,400
right or vice versa, he's rushing to his left. So

805
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,000
you really just got to take that into factor. And

806
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,199
then also you know, in the spur of the moment,

807
00:38:57,599 --> 00:38:59,440
it's usually just run right through his face.

808
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, win in doubt, win out, Yeah.

809
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, win it out, run right through the state.

810
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,119
I mean sometimes you put a little move on him

811
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:10,639
and right and then you just go right through.

812
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,639
Speaker 3: What's the what's the most satisfying feeling for you on

813
00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:16,320
the football field, beating or running back one on one,

814
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,800
sacking the quarterback, or get an interception.

815
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 8: Definitely getting the sack. Nothing, Nothing beats the feeling of

816
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,599
getting a sack because you know that you're just you're

817
00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:27,440
causing havoc whenever you get a sack.

818
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew that. I knew that you knew that

819
00:39:32,159 --> 00:39:34,400
you knew the answer to that one real quick though.

820
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,760
I do want to ask you kind of about the

821
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,119
linebacker room. I think it's incredibly deep. And obviously you're

822
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:43,079
gonna have your brothers in there, and that's incredibly cool.

823
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,159
I mean I played one year of high school football

824
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:48,000
with my older brother. It was awesome, amazing, certainly something

825
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,400
I always cherish. And you're gonna get a chance to play.

826
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:53,199
You know, you've been with Wes obviously for multiple years,

827
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:56,039
and you've got your little brother who's going actually probably

828
00:39:56,039 --> 00:39:58,199
got here the other day last weekend, so you're gonna

829
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:00,400
have three of you. So but it's it's a deep

830
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:03,159
room overall. We're talking about the linebackers. I mean, what

831
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,360
Devine Keys was able to do last year with I

832
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,559
mean he was a bright spot. I mean that guy

833
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:10,039
played star, he played next to you, He was kind

834
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:12,400
of all over the place, a very smart football player.

835
00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:14,880
That room, man, it's going to be hard to get

836
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,800
on the field in like a very good way. It's

837
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,320
going to be a very competitive room.

838
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, definitely, one hundred percent. I mean I would

839
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,800
I would say we easily have the best linebacker line

840
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:29,159
backing room in the country. You know, we have so

841
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,239
many dudes that you could put out there at any

842
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,360
time and feel comfortable with him playing. And I mean,

843
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,920
that's what you want in the linebacker room.

844
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: And then obviously, you know, you start talking about you

845
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,079
and Perk being back together, getting him back healthy. I'm

846
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:44,239
excited to see him back at the star position. Man.

847
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,920
I think it's a place that he can thrive. And

848
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,880
you look at today's NFL game and like, he's like

849
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,480
a perfect fit for kind of that nickel sam which

850
00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:54,559
is what you're looking for in the star role. Devine

851
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:56,639
did a really nice job last year. But if it's

852
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,760
you and him, and you and your brother all they're

853
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,840
playing in the middle, then you've got harl Perkins at

854
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,000
the star position. I really think that's the best case

855
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:04,159
scenario for everybody.

856
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, I do too, And I mean, I cannot wait

857
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,079
to play with Perk again. He's so fun to be

858
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:11,280
out there with. So I'm excited for that.

859
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: All right, last question for you, this is the simple one.

860
00:41:14,079 --> 00:41:16,199
Everybody wants to know. How's how's the like feeling.

861
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 8: It's good, It's we're getting there. I would say I'm

862
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,119
about ninety five percent right now. Like I'm I'm clear

863
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:25,599
for all football activity. I've been doing everything, but I

864
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:27,480
just got to get that last little step back.

865
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: And look, if you're a card carrying member of Meathead Nation,

866
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,880
if you're at eighty percent, you're one hundred percent. So

867
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,280
not worried about that.

868
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:35,559
Speaker 8: Man.

869
00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 2: I am so ready to get you back on the field.

870
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,920
And I go out there and watch y'all practice here

871
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,239
coming up this summer. We appreciate the time.

872
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 8: Man.

873
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,519
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'll holler at you see you at the facility.

874
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:46,760
So we appreciate it, man, and best of luck as

875
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,280
you come back.

876
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,679
Speaker 8: Awesome. Yeah, I appreciate y'all having me on.

877
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 2: All right, there is LSU linebacker Wit Weeks good enough

878
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,039
to join the show. And uh, if you listen to that,

879
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,360
you know why he is back to back. Let's all

880
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,039
meathhead team. It'll still magazine Drew faces. Yeah you knew that,

881
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:07,679
no doubt. And yeah, Jack Tibron is certainly on the

882
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:09,440
all Meahead team as well. You know who else I

883
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,239
put on there? Put Aaron Anderson on there, because you

884
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,960
look at we go, we go every position, right. I

885
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,760
was like, you know what Aaron Anderson will do a

886
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,440
little bit of whatever. Whatever you ask that guy to do, slot, outside, punt,

887
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:25,159
kick returner, whatever. And I was like, there's a lot

888
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:26,920
of people that had a lot to say about his game.

889
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,000
He proved him all wrong last year, and everybody's talking

890
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,320
about the other guys coming in the transfers. I'm like,

891
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,599
you're leading receivers coming back, right, Aaron, and so he's

892
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:37,079
on the meat.

893
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:40,039
Speaker 3: You talked about what it's the motor that never stops,

894
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,960
and you know, like when you game plan for a

895
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,960
defense on offense, like when you watch a defensive line tackle.

896
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,880
We used to say that in Green Bay about Kyle

897
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,000
Williams when we played Buffalo or Kyle Vanner. But like

898
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:54,079
the people that has the motor that never stops are

899
00:42:54,159 --> 00:42:56,400
the worst people that you just don't want to because

900
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,599
you can't ever take a playoff, Like I remember Kyle

901
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:02,199
vannerbisch would he Aaron one time when he threw it

902
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,199
as he threw it and then he tackled Jordy Nelson

903
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,199
sixty yards down the field.

904
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he probably had those red contacts in where

905
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,599
he had red eyes. He was like like, that's the

906
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:13,280
kind of like when he was with the Lions probably, yeah, right.

907
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 3: The Lions. Yeah, but that is what whit brings. Yeah,

908
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,079
not only talent and leadership, but it's the motor man

909
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,960
motor that never stops. Makes it so difficult and a

910
00:43:23,039 --> 00:43:24,719
pain in the ass for offenses.

911
00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:27,639
Speaker 2: I hated blocking Jared Johnson when he was with the Ravens.

912
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,119
Jared wasn't the most talented guy, but I'll be damn

913
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:32,760
a son of a gun would come and come and

914
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,480
just never ever stop. Like, hey, Bud, the play's way

915
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:36,920
over there.

916
00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:39,519
Speaker 3: LSU fans like you to have mister Whipp.

917
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,519
Speaker 2: No doubt, look at him all right. Last break of

918
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:44,000
the show, asked a bench to finish up. I always

919
00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:46,000
want to say sponsored by somebody. It's not. It's open,

920
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:48,719
by the way, if you want to sponsor, asked the bench,

921
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,199
it's probably by nobody right now to finish No, it's not.

922
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,360
