watch him pick his noses.

You did? Yeah? I get, I get. I can tell
you his habits from everything. Yeah, isn't that. It's attractive,
isn't it? But you didn't.

listened to him and then you practiced a couple of times,

he's my tough He's the one that I really got.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
To stay on. Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I Like, it's real frustrating as a parent when your
kids are playing sports, right because you want them to
do great, right, but their personality, like why, he just
doesn't give a shit. So he's just like, yeah, I
don't want to do this, Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:22):

Speaker 2 (05:33):
So we'll see, we'll figure it out. Hey, whatever whatever
they want to do. Here's a question I'm going to
ask you. I want Maislator.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
He was our first guest on the Dudes on Dudes podcast,
and thank you so much for being the second guest man.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thank you for having it easy for us.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
You know, you relate to us like no other as well,
and I love your enthusiasm and your energy you're bringing
to the table. But I asked Matthew Slater because I'm
the only one here without kids. Slater has kids, Julian
as a kid, you got a couple of kids. You
were just talking about what is it like to be
a father and what am I missing out on? I
want you to convince me that I should be making
kids tonight.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Camille.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
You you've practiced and you you've you're trained at at
the process a kid.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
You just got to leave it in. Okay, and okay,
that might happen, but technique, for me, it's all about technique.
You had nothing to do, you have to funny, you
leave it so I think you know, for me, you
got to stay in the game.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
To win three Super Bowl you got to stay in Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
So you know, imagine burning it. You burn it from
both ends. Eventually you're gonna have nothing left. I feel
like at the end of my career, I didn't really
necessarily want we're talking about your kids because of my kids,
I didn't want to play football.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, it's all risk.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
And reward, right, So if someone was to say, here, Julian,
I will give you five bucks to go in a
car and let's see if you hit three hundred miles
an hour the fastest car on Like, now, let's say
Indy car we just had, the Indy.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Five was just there? You're just there? Right? Did you
drink any milk? Is it whole? No, it's whole milk.
It's whole milk, and holy grown Wait your lactose? No? Hell? Okay,
this is an American guy? Is gluten free? Are you
a gluten guy? Pizza guy? Like I'm a glue guy.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Literally buns you do big. So I think at the
end of my career, I played eleven years. You guys
played a little bit longer. Would you play total twelve
twelve eleven.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
You played eleven.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yes, all right, so I can ask you this, and
if you would have played eleven or twelve, right, would
there have been a difference in how you're living right now?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Probably, you think so? Maybe there was. There's a few
more ms. Yeah, a few more ms. But at the
end of the day, a few more ms contract in
the back of my career.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, but how many how many heads shots?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
You say, would shots right now instead of just on
the third to take any had shots that last year.
They don't even hit me. They don't even hit Okay,
we're throwing those out there.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
That was fifteen years ago, I know, but they all
catch up to you. These helmets are freaking sick.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
We didn't play with kept playing. I would have kept playing.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
We played with the helmets that they're banned now you
can't even put them on.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah yeah, year one. No, the last helmet I wore,
you can't even wear anymore. Yeah, that's you. That sounds
like a you problem. I was wearing advice. I mean,
that's like ten years.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's Tom his helmet. He can't he couldn't. Tom had
that old school helmet. How big his helmet was because
he's got such a large head. It was like elongated
like a bus, you know, because he has that like
two X helmet that he wore. And it was that
old school right now, remember the old school right now,
you couldn't even wear it. At the end of his career,
he had it. He was grandfathered into wearing his.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Just like the single the thing. Yeah you know Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
And yeah, he's a meme now because of that one.
All right, let's get into these anything easy.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Come on, let's go pats over under eleven wins this year?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Under why under eleven wins? Four wins? Yeah, but let's
be realistic.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Coach player, okay, hit in the draft, got the tackle,
got wide receiver, the tap, defensive stacks.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Why even wait a minute, I'm just saying, like, let's
be realistic.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
You think you're gonna have twelve wins? Twelve wins? Twelve
is a lot. They're gonna be a twelve win team
after being a four wins tough? It is tough.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean, look at the Washington So I took the
underman commanders, yeah, command commanders, Yeah, they did it.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
You just said. So, my thought is, how do you
win over under nine? All right? That's more I'm a nine.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I think they're nine to ten win team nine ten
eleven is a lot. I'm going over on nine and
I'm going under on eleven. Okay, you're right, that's what
realistic that is. So do you think that you can
win instantly with overpaying in fre agency?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
That's a great point because get the they just spent
three hundred and fifty fivens.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Let's talk about the thought the dream team Philadelphia Eagles.
Remember twenty thirteen, coach Balichuck always put them up on
the board. There was so much talk about him. They
were talking all where the greatest team. We got so
many free agencies come in, and then they went went
five and eleven that year six, you know, I mean
it's in ten and they brought in that many free agencies.
It doesn't mean you're gonna gel as a team when
you bring in that many free agents exactly, but but

(10:25):
their veteran free agencies. Vrabel's a guy that kind of
you know, feels like you can tell them he's together.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
He's a guy that you know, he's the glue guy, right,
and he's one of them dudes.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
You see him and that what's it? Forged in Foxborough?
Now they got the over forge. We're like building this thing.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Up like our new team has, like our new facility.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
We're gonna build it from the ground up with steel
and iron, and we're gonna good. Yeah, Mark great, it's
great marketing. So my thought is, if you protect the quarterback,
which is number one in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Right, I don't think you could ever overpay for offense alignment. No,
but they didn't like like they over said they overpaid
for a bunch of free agents when you.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
How much is they paying for day free agencies? On
the offensive line?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Got a little guy thirty four, and he's been you know,
last year was kind of riddled with injuries. Where do
they get it from with the Commanders? Okay, yes, so
actually he was played against him with the Commanders and
then he went.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
To that he was with the Jets. He's banged up.
Like good drafted. He's a very good player they drafted.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
And I will say I would say that all his interviews,
Campbell not comfortable think about what was boys, Uh did
he make that tackle by the way, or did he
miss it?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
While I was on the sidelines and like houshed me out.
It was like a gimme because a gimme tackle. What's
what was bad on his party? It was just a
normal flat route and I got twelve yards on the
flat route. He didn't do his job in the coverage game.
Yeah no, and then.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
It was a gimme tackle so tough that I mean
you on the sideline, I was rolling though, I was
fast back that.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, you're pretty fast, So I think you look at
I do like his interviews. By the way, the first
over all pick right, If you could describe yourself in
one word, how would you nasty? My job is to
protect the quarterback. I love getting down and nasty in
the trenches. I'm just out there past set and trying

(12:13):
to protect my quarterback Like that gets me going, right?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
You loveman? All right? Wait? How many times have you
been practicing that?

Speaker 1 (12:20):
I just made it up just real quick. It's like
you and the Bill Belichick impersonations. How many times you're
in the mirror just I mean next, I sat in.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Front of him for twelve years and watch him pick
his noses? Did Yeah? I get, I get. I can
tell you his habits from everything. Yeah, isn't that It's attractive,
isn't it?

Speaker 3 (12:37):
But you didn't You didn't sit to Campbell for twelve years.
I just listened to him, and then you practiced a
couple of times, just one. It's all about watching yourself
once doing No, never did that.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't think I did jewels.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I think friend, Come on, jeez, I'm gonna have to
jiff you all right.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, talking about Bill in the InKo here and looking.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
At that hat, what was it like visiting Bill at
Chapel Hill Chapel.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Bill was great? Yeah, it was great. We had to
get tours. Did Page let you go out?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I didn't do anything like that, even even beams yeah, away,
track my phone at s in the hotel.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Okay, But anyway, it's uh, you know, for me, I
feel you know, look, you put her shirt like this on,
you wear a hat like this, get something, walk around
you know, comm aft Bahama baby to say, you walk
around commaf and what maybe just pick up a younger
chick or something, you know, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Everyone's
so serious these days. I'm a married man, freaking Page.

(13:39):
I love you, She's the best.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
But I would go after you if I saw that ring.
I was guy. It was great.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
So So this is my this is my thought. I
was surprised that he took that job. I think we
were all a little shocked to the surprise. I think
the challenge is probably going to be trying to get
the most out of a less talented roster. The worst
NFL team in the NFL is more talented, let's just
face it, Like you could have the shittiest NFL football

(14:05):
team and you have a you know, roster full of studs.
So I think it might be a little bit more
difficult to get the most out of some of these
kids that, let's face it, maybe one, two, maybe three
or NFL caliber players. Like you look at NFL teams.
How many NFL guys played on your Arizona team?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Three or four or four? How many from Kent State three? Three?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
So like every every college team probably has three if
four max NFL caliber players and some have won, some
have none, right, some have none, especially you know, if
you're Atamama, you're gonna have maybe eight.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
To ten how a lot of money in Chapel Hill. Yeah,
but you're gonna have to bring in some talent.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
And I know that, like the Big Ten, some of
these big schools they have to cut down on their
roster because there's no walk ons anymore, so they did
away with the walk on. So if you're from Carolina,
you're Chapel Hill and they pick. It's trying to take
those guys up through free agency. So you know, it
was interesting because there's definitely you know, you talk to

(15:07):
some of these kids, You're like, how old are you? Like, oh,
I'm eighteen, Like, shit, you're eighteen years old? Okay, it's
pretty wild, honestly. You know, I was, I was a
young I didn't red shirt, so I was young. I
was eighteen when I was in junior college and when
I got drafted at twenty one, so my rookie season,
I was twenty two years old. You know, a lot
of these kids, they're you know, red shirt, gray shirt,

(15:29):
transfer year, COVID year. You know, you got some kids
that are twenty four and you got other kids that
are eighteen.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
So you have a wide discrepancy there of age.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
The word discriptionancy and learning. This guy's smart, Yeah, perdue guy.
You know, three point two GPA not bad. Oh, Slate
only had a three point one at UCLA. I know,
three point two.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
It's pretty smart. Super they say produced like the Ivy
League of Public schools. All right, next question, play with Sean.
You played with Sean Payton. Oh, I didn't play with much.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, that's like you know, somebody said, like somebody stole
Bill Belichick's Super Bowl jersey. It's like, yeah, he didn't
wear a jersey like Bill's never worn. This isn't baseball.
We're like, which is weird? Don't you think the managers
wearing like a full uniform is odd? I know, imagine
like Bill the manager used to play those hilarious I know,

(16:18):
I know that's that's the history. I thought you were
a tradition guy. But getting back to you.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Bet for Sean Sean, Yeah, serious, dude, when you were
there in New Orleans.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Two thousand and six, well kind of kind of How
was it? How was coach Peyton different than coach Belichick?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
My whole professional career, I was with the Parcels. I
was in a Parcels tree. So who Sean, Yeah under Parcels, right.
So the mentality there is very tough, right, Like he's
not an easy guy, but he's very smart.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
He's a great offense guy. You know he's not.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
There's a clip actually we're playing the Cowboys in Jackson
State because My first training training camp was at Millsaps
College in Jackson, Mississippi. Terrible, but we were playing the
Cowboys and I had in like late. I didn't hear
the whistle, so I kind of tackled the guy. After
the whistle. They gave me a fifteen yard penalty. I

(17:13):
came off the field. There's a clip of him like
screaming at me, do you think you're worth fifteen yards?
And I wanted to say yeah, but I was like no, no,
And he's screaming at me. But he kind of is
that that coach that's going to call you out. He's
gonna make you know when you're screwing up, right. He's
a tough he's tough, right. So when I went to Miami,

(17:35):
they had Cam Cameron on the Terrible One in fifteen season.
They were awful in two thousand and seven, like the
worst team I've ever seen in a professional sport, right,
and Tony Sperano came in and then Parcels was the president.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
In eightos Ariano yep Sperano.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
So when I was in the weight room, I was
working out and Parcels walks in and he puts his
hand on my shoulder. He goes, hey, you're that Nikovich kid,
right yeah. It's like you remind me of a guy
drafted in New England, Teddy Bruski. It's like, you're you
should be an inside linebacker. So instantly I'm like, shit,
I'm not gonna be a pass rusher because he thought

(18:13):
I was too short, like he was six'. Two he
liked those big elephant. Guys you, know the guy's long.
Arm he went, McGuinness big big dudes at outside. Linebacker
so had a great camp was outside. LINEBACKER i make the.
Team i'm on my way home After wednesday. Practice they
call me back in the. Office my fuck, it they're
gonna cut. Me SO i go Into parcel's. Office he's, like,

(18:35):
hey how old are. You i'm, like, Oh i'm twenty.
Four he's, like you're. Young i'm gonna offer you a
contract right. Now you shake my. Hand it's a. Deal
if you walk out the no, deal you're. Cut so he's,
Like i'm gonna pay you your full. SALARY i think
it was like four or fifty grand just to learn
inside linebacker on practice squad and through twelve. Weeks you can't.
Leave if if you, leave you're breaking the. Deal and

(18:58):
that's not a good thing to. Do don't break the.
Deal SO i was, like all, right screw. IT i
shook his. Hand they moved me inside. LINEBACKER i had
no freaking idea how to play inside. Linebacker hated. It
terrible off the, ball you gotta, weight you got a tempo.
Stuff it was the worst thing in the. World SO
i waited twelve. Weeks they moved me. Up we were
playing The raiders at, home ran down on two, kickoffs

(19:18):
had one, tackle another was a. Touchback Jeff ireland at
the time was THE gm in the office and he was, like,
hey you, know we were thinking you'd be like more
of A Larry izzo.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Spark on special, teams so we're going to release.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
You SO i was, like all, Right, well first of,
All i'm six, two two sixty And i'm a pass.
Rusher larry's it was five, eight two hundred, Pounds so
there's your number one reason That i'm not ever going
to Be Larri. Izzo so the second they cut, ME
i already KNEW i was gone BECAUSE i had three
teams claim me like they asked, like, hey do you
want to come? Here and it was Like Buffalo cincinnati

(19:52):
In New, england AND i was, like, NO i got.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
To stay here BECAUSE i did that pack with.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Ourselves so the second that they cut me The, saints
AND i didn't even give him a.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Chance you can give a team a chance to bring
you up or keep you. UP i just. Left so
the next day they were, like, hey Where's.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Nikovic they're, like, oh he, Left SO i just, said screw,

didn't even give them an. Option you just don't even
LIKE i just.

Left you can give a team an. Option they can

fed up with.

give me a chance, anyway because.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
And then how Did New orleans pain Out New? Orleans
that sucked?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Too Uh So New orleans that, year in, PARTICULAR i
was trying to. Get uh you, know if you are
active on a, roster you get a credit. Season so
that YEAR i was only active for one. Game so
when they brought me To New, orleans they had two,
players Will smith rest In peace And Charles. Grant they
both tested positive For Star. Caps it was a dietary.

(20:54):
Supplement it had like a fedro in, it so they they.
Popped they claim, me AND i was, like all, right,
well Maybe i'll get you some film or be on
a roster and get some. Time and the judge overruled
it and they pushed it to the next. Season so
WHEN i got, THERE i was a fifty four man.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Exempt.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Wow, yeah fifty. Four SO i got my credit. Season
so if you look at my two thousand and eight,
SEASON i only played one, game BUT i got a credit.
Season and Then sean after in two thousand and nine
in the, Offseason he's, like the only way that you
make this team is as a long, Snapper so they
moved me to long, snapper WHICH i thought was complete.
Bullshit and then they brought In Jason kyle in training

(21:36):
camp AND i almost slipped Over Sean payton's desk on
him BECAUSE i wanted to kill him when he cut.
ME i was, like you didn't know you're going to
bring in a veteran snapper like two weeks.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Ago.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Bullshit so THEN i left AND i got wasted On Bourbon, street.
WASTED i was hungover AND i was on the second
hole golfing with a friend of mine AND i got
the call From New england and the rest is. History
so that's that. Story when did you Meet? Page BECAUSE
i know you Met Peyre. ORLEANS i met her in that.

(22:09):
Story she was at nursing school at l S u And.
UH i was at a bar AND i just saw
a little hot chick AND i, was you, know walked
up to her and she couldn't.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Resist was this when you were on The?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Saints, YEAH i was on the se so you're still
under The Bill parcells. Tree that's, Right Parcels and THEN
i went to age on the real height with sometimes
from That but, anyway deleash is.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Short how did it feel to lose To gronk every
day in one of the ones you know now in
the in the run? Game? Yeah, Pass, well let's be.
Honest let's be, Honest Gronk Run. Game what what what
happened the run? Game? Yeah what do you?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Mean you?

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Didn't you didn't you never made the? Tackle, well a
good thing we didn't.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Play against each other BECAUSE i didn't have to tackle
my own teammates off passing. Gay, YEAH i couldn't Cover,
drunk but it makes me feel better because he's A
hall Of fame, Player and when you can't cover a
guy that's going to the whole, fame you don't feel so.
Bad you, know if he was a you, know just a,
jag just another guy and he, sucked THEN i probably
wouldn't have played as long AS i.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Did so it was a.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Good feeling knowing that that guy panned out to be
a really good player his rookie. SEASON i was, like,
DUDE i, Suck like MAYBE i need to not play
in THE nfl. Anymore but he happened to be the Grunk.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Thank, you.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Nkle that was, interview but for, real one on, One
ninko is one of the hardest defenders to, block probably
because of your. Leverage what are you six? Three, yeah sixty,
Five i'm sixty six.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Long too.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
LONG i can't get leverage On he's like a bowling.
Ball you're kind of like A James James harris. Ello
but you guys have the leverage on, me So i'm
never gonna be able to move. YOU i moved plenty
of guys in my, career BUT i could never push back,
ninkle not even a strong and majority of the time
ACTUALLY i was getting pushed back and then like two

(24:00):
AND i would have to find a way to cut
him off so he wouldn't make the. TACKLE i was
trying to figure out those type of techniques BECAUSE i couldn't.
Move this guy is an absolute. Animal he's like kind
of part of the.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Ground earlier in Our, rudy we would do a lot
of one on. Ones we would do the half line,
stuff we would do all those things that they don't do.
Anymore actually said this the other. Day if the rules
were in place WHEN i came into the league the
way that they are right, NOW i don't THINK i
make AN nfl.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
ROSTER i don't think the.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
OTAs i don't think the non like padded practices are
beneficial to. Gouds wouldn't give. Pads it wouldn't develop. Me,
so you, know there's guys that look great in the.
Shells you, know they're BIG nfl, players they're jack they're
ripped or they got the v you, know unlike, me
that's kind of, like you, know plumber ish. Plumber you,
know maybe no offense to any plumbers out, there but

(24:53):
you guys. Aren't there's a couple Of jackjack's.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Popular you know that for a. Fact you're a tasty
each uh. Delicious well it's you, know it's it's. Marbled you,
know you go off the. Ship i'm a, tomahawk but tomahawk.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
TOMAHAWK i just think that the guys that are in full,
pads you separate the men from the boys and pads
and you don't Do they don't do one on, ones
they don't do half, line they don't do nine on.
Seven they don't do the things that really made you
better show if a guy can make a play on the.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Field like, really for, me all those drills.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
In practice are what turned a lot of guys heads,
like oh, ship like that dude's pretty. Good oh one on,
ones that guy's pretty. Good and then you get in
the game and you do. It SO i feel for those,
guys especially the borderline guys that need to prove, themselves
that need special, teams that need to run down on.
Kickoff and WHEN i was a, rookie LIKE i was
the white, linebacker like you have to run down and

(25:59):
hit a, wedge you have to run down and take
the middle guy. Out you got to run down and
just kama kazi yourself and you gotta do what you gotta,
do Right like at the end of the, day you're
trying to like make it so you gotta it's it's
him or. Me i'm gonna take him, out like that's
the name of the.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Game nico did a lot of. That so you had this.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Journey you were In, miami you played inside, linebacker you got,
Cut you went To New, orleans you played long, snapper
you got cut. Again when was that time in YOUR
nfl career where you knew you belong and you were
going to be a special player at the outside linebacker.

Speaker 1 (26:31):

next series and we were PLAYING, vic so it was, like.

Speaker 2 (27:07):

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Vic but it was a deep kick right and the
returner caught the ball like a yard from the pylon

BEEF i, know hit? Up whoever makes it just say, hey,
dudes on, dudes we like. Meat we'll be right back

(30:38):
after this quick. Break i've got one more.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Question i'm, like, yeah come, on all, right this guy
is great with leverage in the run. Game how many
how many sacks in your?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
CAREER i don't, know like forty six or some missed
a ton of forty six.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Sacks that's a lot of them out, Right like fifty
one in the. Playoffs, yeah fifty one total, player fifty
one total.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Total they don't own any guy with fifty one sacks
in his.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Career why did you not make more? Money? Well why
they do not have the leverage in the contract? Talks,
well BECAUSE i think this is.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Me this is What i'm gonna tell. You this is
my this is my. Theory what's your? THEORY i want
to hear.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
IT i was talking about it is a lot of
a lot of.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
You guys just won't let me. Speak this is.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Advice money shouldn't be your, goal but financial freedom should
be your. Goal so whatever number you have or what you,
have WHAT i, have it's all. Different so like if
you want to keep up with The joneses and you
want to have The bentley and you want to have
the nice house in the, car you're gonna have to keep.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Working you're goa have to make more. Money you're gonna
have to get all.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
That you're gonna have To but if my number is
a certain number And i'm happy with it and it
gives me the financial freedom and i'm you, know you're
smart and you're not an idiot with.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
It then you're.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Fine so your, contract why didn't you make? More why
didn't you make?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
More you? Know good, point wasn't your first contract less
Than hernandez's contract less, guarantee less.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
GUARANTEE i was financially free though WHEN i signed, that
so so and then you also have good as a free.
Agent like when you're a free, agent you have to
so if you're a first round, pick so any first round,
pick your a second round, Pick you're not going to
make a contract that's less than your second round contract
because that doesn't make. Sense if you're a free agent
and your signing bonus is five. Grand mine was like

(32:24):
one hundred and thirty something. Thousand if they dangle half
a million in front of you for a two year
deal with four million, bucks you're, like fuck four million. Bucks,
okay that's two million after, taxes all, Right my goal
is ten to twelve When i'm. Done when you hit
that number and you're, like, okay, conservatively, conservatively IF i
make seven to ten percent on that money AND i
don't touch the, nut like it's just going to roll.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Over and then ten, percent who's your financial seven to ten,
conservatively because if you try to go for twelve to,
fifteen the downside risk is a lot.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Harder so, like if you were heavily, invested you were
shooting for fifteen to twenty percent at your age FINANCIAL covid,
hit then you would have been down thirty, percent, Right
so you want to stay conservative in your.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Investments, wow thank you for that financial.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Letter, Now so for every ten million, dollars you could
pull twenty thousand a, month and that's not your full,
nuts so you could pull forty, Right so if you
have twenty million in the, bank you could live off
of forty thousand a month because you.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Live off of forty thousand a. MINLE i don't. Know
so it depends on your life. Style it depends on your.
Life you live IN.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
La and you got a big house and you got
to pay taxes on it because they just passed something On,
OH i think the governor Of california just passed like
a sixteen percent increase on your property. Taxes so that
should be. Funny sixteen per sixteen? Percent so what's that?

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Mean sixteen percent of what it is or they're putting
it to sixteen.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Percent, no they're putting they're putting adding sixteen to what
you're you're paying right now because.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
You're paying one point one percent of your purchase price
sixteen percent of, that so it's gonna be one point that's.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
It's just going to be a lot if you live In.
CALIFORNIA i like the heat that you're bringing to the.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
TABLE i love the, man and you know, what you're
surprising me right, now, man AND i really like.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Him.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Man you're always bringing that intriguing factor to whatever you're,
doing and that's why we love.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
You. Man you brought you have to have these deep
forget to.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
LIFE i was thinking of doing my own thing just
called depth and just getting deep on life and getting.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
You know, what we? Know what are we here? For?
What we're here for you here for. It we're here
for you to get deep into the dude that you're
bringing to and that's what we're gonna. Do, yes let's.
Go nino is going to be here for six hours
talking to us about how to make eight percent on his.
Portfolio you're, good let's probably tax free to. Somehow, yeah

(34:38):
we got a percent depends on HOW i was. Talking,
yeah you know exactly that. Guy Rob let's get THE
ai synopsis Rob nikovich picked for.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
So guest usually break down two, guys two guys or three.
Guys we usually break down talk about him for ten.
Minutes but since you're the, guests we're just going to
do one guy that we're going to break. Down you
have one guy that you've run guy, Okay, Yeah and
before we get, STARTED i read AN ai summary about
the guy just to give a little glimpse of a who.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
We're going to.

Speaker 4 (35:14):

reason WHY i read it is Because julian's Readings there we.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Right so WHEN i was a, KID i grew up In,

smith on the, Wall Troy, aikman UH, I Michael irvin

so and he was just Like troykman is just a,
tough tough. Quarterback like he was a guy that would

(37:14):

he just gritty and uh you, KNOW i had a
chance to talk to him a couple of. Times that
beer company that he's, got HE i do, believe like
he sent me a whole like beer and stuff was
so pumped Them Like troutman sent me a.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Beer so what type of.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
Beer it's a light bearer because if separate from other, beers,
well his beer is a light.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Logger it's very like because he's got like he's a
health conscious. Guy like if you watch his social media,
stuff he's jacked for you know how old old fifty
eight fifty. Eight he looks. Great he looks.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Great he does and you, know unfortunately he had to
leave the game a little early because of the head
stuff that he was. Taking he sounds, like sounds, great talks,
well he does a great job on, television and, uh you,
KNOW i think he's one hell of a. Dude you
ever meet, Him i've never met. Him in met you,
know maybe one day MAYBE i take, THAT i take that.

(38:04):
Back you, know you do the pregame. STUFF i met
him at one of, those AND i was, like. STAR
i think we were In. CINCINNATI i think we played In.
Cincinnati that was the game that, remember like we had that.
Monsoon it was literally like Thirteen, yes we had we
were coming. Back it was the last drive and we.
Couldn't we had a we had a. Fumble we created

(38:24):
a fumble right. THERE i Think dev created a. Fumble
we got the ball. Back we couldn't and we. Couldn't
we couldn't throw, it couldn't throw the, ball like literally
it was we got craziest. Rain we had the craziest
rainstorm right when we got the. BALL i Think Vonnie
holliday had a strip sack On.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
TOM i was hurting that if you ever met if
you ever met, him what would your first question be to?

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Him probably, just, uh you, know how did You how
did you stay so successful for so many years when
you guys were the, team like we were the, team
but that's like the. Team and that was in the nineties,
too and they were back to Back Super bowl, champion
SO i think it was ninety two ninety, three and
then that was the team that beat up they Killed,

(39:06):
buffalo AND i don't know if you've seen the documentary
The Four falls Of. Buffalo, yeah it's kind of, depressing very.
Sad sad From Buffalo thenko and oh, yeah remember.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
BUT i was so.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
YOUNG i don't know any of, That like you, Don't,
OKAY i don't remember any of that one that all
happened my last, game which is, good which is.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Good. Right do you ever think about the other.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Side like those, guys like how terrible that must feel for?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Them? Frelena, Yeah, yeah ANYTIME i see one of the,
GUYS i just.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
FEEL i feel Because Matt ryan anytime he does anything
they ask him about, that and it's, like at a
POINT i would just be, like shut the fuck.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Up he stupids like a hell of a.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Career he made so much, MONEY i, mean through for
so many, touchdowns and all people bring up to him, is,
hey like what happened in.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
That game versus The patriots and The Super? Bowl that.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Sucks WHEN i watched those documentaries Like The Four falls Of,
buffalo AND i see like some of the guys and now,
older AND i don't know if you've seen some OLDER nfl,
players but it's pretty, depressing you. Know it's, like holy,
Shit LIKE i wish they would have won A Super.
Bowl for those guys right, Now i'm happy that we
were able to make that happen and win that football.
Game BUT i kind of sometimes, have you, know a

(40:15):
little bit of empathy for those guys that didn't win
a Super, bowl definitely because you lost a Super bowl as. Well,
yes so we know what it feels like to lose
A Super. Bowl it's probably one of the worst feelings
that you can. Feel and you almost would rather NOW
i say, this AND i don't know if you feel the.
SAME i almost rather not play that. Game, rather just
like lose THE Afc Championship game and then, say oh,

(40:36):
shit next, year we'll get back. There because when you
get to the Super, bowl and we had, it and
not only was it a shitty, loss it was In.
Indianapolis that was the. Worst just like who, thought, like,
oh let's have a Nice indianapolis Super. Bowl it's gonna
be freezing and there's only one cool steakhouse and there's
really nothing to do.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Here same.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Moment it's actually a great host CITY i heard, though
like for like conventions and, shit for like a viewer
in the. Fan if it wasn't, freezing they have. Hotels i've.
Heard it's a really good like hosting. City almost as
bad As minnesota that was. Freezing that was eleven.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Under eleven degrees.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Under so it makes those like that, decision let's let's stay.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
THERE i build the stadium. Up it was a newer.
STADIUM i, mean this will come.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
ON i was just An, indy you, know like you,
said they need some warm weather. There it's all, right you,
know they do a decent job hosting that many. PEOPLE
i was at any five, hundred so there was over
four hundred thousand people in the, city and they had enough,
hotels enough restaurants and all, that but it's kind of
run down a little. Bit and, uh talking about That
Super bowl game as. Well that's WHY i got so

(41:41):
hammered after the game BECAUSE i didn't want to remember
anything that.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
HAPPENED i don't remember anything.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
EXACTLY i don't remember they put a safety video out
on like a good chip in THE nfl put it
out and they showed the clip THAT i actually got.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Concusted So i'm coming.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Off the tackle and, literally like the SECOND i get
off the tackles, Shoulder Brandon jacobs is running to the
flat and flippers me on my. CHIN i stop AND
i drop in coverage But i'm not supposed to be
in coverage at. All AND i get off of it
And Matt he's, like, hey, uh what happened on that?
Play i'm, like what? PLAY i don't, Remember LIKE i got.

(42:15):
Hit he's, like, yeah you got, IT i, said, DUDE i.
WAS i don't remember. Anything SO i don't even remember
playing that.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Game so you know how crazy dangerous this game was or,
Is and especially for guy Like Troy aikman who took
a lot of.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Hits what makes what does he do? Better that makes everyone.
Else what does he do better than anyone? Else what
is his great makes sam?

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Elite probably his consistency because if you, watch if you
watch like just what he does, now it's how he
prepares for, television how he and then how he takes
care of his body so literally to get in shape
or to be.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Fit it's just discipline and.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Consistency so like for him to be so good for
so long and then transition into the booth and be
so good for so, long he has to be consistent
and he has to.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Be able to do that over and over and over.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Again AND i think that's why he was so successful
in his professional, career and then when he went to,
television he's been even probably more. Successful, Right he's stuck
around for so long and he's still doing it at
such a high. Level it comes back to probably what
he was so good at when he was a professional football.
Player you, KNOW i really like that. Answer and to
all you young bucks out, there it's all about. Consistency

(43:26):
it's not about doing it once having a one handed
catch you know that, day or running so fast and
blowing by the safeties and having a. Touchdown but if
you can't do it the next, Day, well then you're
not going to make the.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Team you're not going to make the.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
Cut and what's so interesting is that we Asked slater
what Made Brandon schooler so great as a special teamer
to make him An All pro last, year and he
said the same, thing Because Matthew slater coached.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Him he, said it's his.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Consistency he brought it every single day to practice and
then it transferred into a. Game and now we just
talked to you and we, asked, hey what Makes Troy
aikman so? Great and you, said it's his, consistency just
how he, prepares how he went out there to be
great on a daily. Basis so if you want to be,
great it has to be at a consistent rate every single.
Day it's not, like, Hey i'm gonna be good, Today

(44:10):
i'm gonna try harder today And i'm gonna take off. Tomorrow,
no you have to be great every day and you
have to bring your a game every, day just Like Troy.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Aikman Like ninkos saying it's right makes a lot of
sense to The.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
Beast and talking About, troy if you had the, chance
if you were playing back in his, era what do
you think would have been like to sack, him it
would have been.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Awesome i'd loved.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
It you, know you watch nineties tape two, thousands the
game is definitely of all that's, changed it's a lot different.
Now i'm not gonna be that old guy and he's, like,
oh these young kids, today he couldn't play back in the.
Day BUT i would say the receivers, nowadays the tight,
ends the quarterbacks like AND i Think tom's even talked about.

(44:50):
This you back in the nineties in early two, thousands
like you had a responsibility to take care of your, Receiver, like,
Hey i'm not just gonna throw this this lead a
receiver on a slant and there's a guy sitting right.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
There it could take him out of the. Game you
can take him out for a week, out take them out.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Right so you, know WHEN i watch those guys back
in the nineties and the two, THOUSANDS i think that
it was probably the hardest and most physical the, football
like the game the sport has ever.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
Been because the rules weren't adjusted and.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
It was the e they had more athletic team and
they started training in the offseason.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
And show you had, speed you had, strength and you
had subpar. Equipment so like those guys were still wearing
like the cork bike helmets that they were wearing in the.
Eighties in the, seventies there were in that ship all
the way their whole, career but they were faster and.
Bigger all hits were legal to the Callack like there
are guys blind size someone you can just tee.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Off there are Guys i've seen. It i've seen. SOMEONE
i THINK howi long Gouge someone's eye fell. Out the
cornerbacks just absolutely got derailed.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Too there are guys that are in The hall Of
fame that couldn't play in today's.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Game they just couldn't.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Play because of the way that the physicality of how
they hit people Like John, Lynch Like John lynch right
now couldn't just decapitate people over the.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Middle or that was his. Game that was his.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Game lot doesn't fit in this. Era so for, me
it's like those guys LIKE i have all this touchdown here,
NOW i have all the respect in the world for,
though like that era of, football because not only they
weren't making the crazy, money they were building the game
up to where it is right, now and like now
the guys are getting paid crazy, money and we were

(46:33):
talking about.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Crazy money too compared to the guys before us. Though
that's how it. Goes it's always evolution of the.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
GAME i, mean like a baseball, player like they're probably,
like oh my, god you see what those guys are
making seven hundred million dollars and they're going to make
that when they're fifty sixty years.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Old like the Old tani.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Contract who's going to make thirty million dollars when he's
fifty five is nuts because they defer everything down the road.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
So he can be In texas when he did, this
so it doesn't he get taxed on.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
It.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Exactly back to who's the favorite quarterback that you've ever?
Sacked since we're talking about, sacking what about you in your.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
CAREER i can't officially call it a sack For Brett
farv because he uh intentionally grounded the, ball so that
takes away your.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Sack which Sucks Brett.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Farber, yeah, yeah that's all Probably. MANNING i got The manning,
BROTHER i got both around. It that's good grounded. Sack,
yeah so they don't consider it a. Sack i'd probably
Say peyton And eli those are two goods Because peyton
WHEN i was At. PURDUE i went to The monday
AND i was A thursday night opener at THE Rca
dome and they were playing The steelers AND i went

(47:37):
there as a.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
SET i went there my senior year At perdue and
they were.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Playing after the, game he went to this bar and
the agent that was trying to recruit me like took
me to the same, bar AND i remember looking at,
like That's Peyton, manning, Right and then fast forward like
twelve years And i'm, like sack fumbling them and.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Stuff it's. Awesome that's. Awesome, yeah, smearing give him the.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Business and what what's the moment that stands out the
most to you In troyman's.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Career probably you know the from the transition because a
lot of guys when you're there's only three ways to
leave the, game so.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
It's your, way their, way or.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
Injured so when you leave, injured, mentally it's kind of
hard to just really take, that, Right like it's hard
to accept the fact that you are being pushed out
of the game that you love and when you're playing,
football like that's your, Everything like you love, it, right
you wouldn't?

Speaker 2 (48:32):
You that's all you, know because you've been doing it
your whole.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Life SO i think probably the most impressive thing is
his transition from leaving the game not on his terms
and then going into the booth and being.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Really good at.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
It, so, yeah his career is, great BUT i think
the television aspect of, it because what he does is not, easy,
Right like the game is a flow and you got
to be on. It and, yeah you know he's With
Joe buck and that. Guy you, know he's got the
voice and he's like right on. It but to come
in and to come out and chemistry good and have,
chemistry it takes.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Time and he's worked at. It.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Obviously it's called Six Super bowls in twenty years At. Fox,
yeah and he's been AT espn since twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Two, yeah, yeah good OLD. Espn that's your. Spot what
kind of dude Is Troy. Aikman is he a stud
an athleticism, Freak he's had the pedigree his whole, Life
the Footbay q's, there he's well.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Rounded is he a? Freak unparalleled physical? Ability one of

Speaker 2 (50:08):
The type of dude you. Are so, ready so think
a little bit about this. One, Okay so.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
This is tough because you can't just, say, like, oh
he's a freak. Girl he's like it's tough because to
be a quarterback you have to have a lot of.
Intellect you gotta be very. Smart so he's definitely got
a little whiz to. Him he's a stud because he's
number one overall, pick He's hall Of, famers.

so much Not Walter, ninko what's the square root of?

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Twelve? Oh? Quick he said it? Quick pretty. Smart didn't
quickly describe your? Locker uh?

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Mess so do you know that most, athletes because men in,
general they don't develop their frontal lobe that you developed
that and you're thirty two years, old, Right so when
you're a football player and everything is like a scheduled
out and planned, out you don't actually.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Ever develop that.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Skill so the majority of football, players because of the
scheduling and all the things that are done for, you
have a hard time with, organizing, scheduling doing all that.
Stuff that's Why julian has an. Assistant frontal. Low all
that just assistance and then not on top of, that
on top of, that you're hitting the front of your,
head so you're like destroying and you're not developing.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
That, well what about? Me that's why have you ever
been In rob's? Garage it's not? Organized, okay so frontal
low because of locker and.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Men in, general don't develop that until later in. Line
we'll be right back after this quick. Break you, know
this guy has got all the. Answers so if you
weren't a pro, athlete then what would you do For
that's why to be an ironworker.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Iron IRON i don't, know it's probably just saying that
because did.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
You like Legos Erector pop is an. Ironworker you got
me in, there and you don't got the grid Of Papa.
