Sonybody know, it's absolutely nothing, but he's handsome. He's got

have to know a damn thing you're talking about. I've
made it living about. But by the way, um, what
(02:58):
car did you drive home today? What were you in today? No?
You know what. I didn't even get a chab and
drive my car forever. I was in the Baamas for
two weeks right then I came back and I've just
been sitting in my little Navigator man, getting driven to
it from work myself. But this weekend tomorrow, hopefully I'll
get to drift something nice. Okay, So I have a
funny story about that really quick. So remember when I
(03:20):
was at Super Bowl with Rebel and I was with
Adam Divine. But I think you were thinking I was
with Adam Oh God, So I you know who Adam
Divine is though, So I go, I go up to
Adam Divine and I'm like, dude, I just talked to
Michael Strahan. He like loves you and he lit up.
He like lit up, and I'm like, you guys were
(03:42):
talking about this car, and so I'm giving him this
whole spiel about how much you love him in this
car that he wanted, and he was like, uh, Dave,
I'm a little confused, and I go, what do you mean?
And he goes, well, I love Michael Stray and he's like,
I think he's incredible and I would love to talk
to him and I'd love to talk to him about cars.
But he goes, I don't think he knows who I am.
(04:05):
And I'm like, oh my god, I know who A
little guy black hair all I thought you said Vine
and I I remember Adam Levin the last time I
saw him. Out of Adam. We got to the bottom
of it, there's Michael Adam Man. I know who you are.
(04:28):
Of course I know who you are. I'm a big fan.
We got the last name mixed up, but I had
cars on the brain. That's that's all. That's all. So
it reminded me of one night. I'm at the Sunset
Tower Hotel and I'm with David O. Russell, the director,
and I'm a Jamie Fox and we're with Timothy shallowmy
(04:50):
right when he was starting to blow up. And we're
sitting down and we're talking and david O. Russell's like, so,
you know, Jamie, tell me about Davo. And Jamie's like,
I don't know what to tell you about Davo. I
don't know how. But he knows everybody on earth. He's
connected to everybody. He knows everyone. And just as he's
saying this, Phil Mickelson, the golfer comes over to our
(05:11):
table and he taps me on the shoulder and he's like,
get up and give me a hug. Phil Mickelson, I've
never met him in my life, Okay, So he gives
me this and I'm like, I'm like, I'm just going
with it. I'm like, Phil, meet david O Russell, the director,
meet Jamie Fox and he's like and Jamie Fox goes man,
(05:32):
He's like, hell the hell you know this motherfucker? And
Phil goes oh, he's the best, and like I'm like,
I'm like this because I have no idea what the
hell is going on. So it turned out he thought
I was Jerry Ferrara say that. I'm like, yeah, Jerry
(06:04):
is by guy too. I love Jr. And it was
it was after Jerry had lost a lot of weight.
It was after he had lost a lot of weight.
So Phil Mickelson was like, do you look amazing? And
he's like sitting there like touching me, and I'm like,
what the hell is going on here? I've never met
this man? So hold on, did you tell David and
all those guys that you didn't know? No? Hell no,
(06:28):
they know now. I would like to tell you, man,
there's not very many people that I'll ever that I've
ever been mistaken for. But I will say when I
was playing, you're a little heavier and bigger guy. Yeah.
I'm at a Knicks game and I'm on the front row.
You know, I'm feeling good about myself. They gave me
front row ticket to the Knicks. Baby, I'm like New Yorker,
(06:51):
right yep, sitting there watching the game, trying to be cool,
sitting in the front row. Dude, come down at halftime, Hey,
I get you to sign you know, autograph. I'm like, oh, yeah,
I'm probably gonna have. I really appreciate it. Champ. I
was riding both get out of here. I'm looking like, man,
(07:15):
that was so amazing. Unbelievable. Alright, let's get with this
show is over. That was it. That was so podcast.
I really appreciate it. Alright. So, Kyle, I'm so excited
about today. We have a very very special guest today.
It pains me a little bit because, as you know,
(07:36):
I'm a massive Philadelphia sports fan Fly Eagles, Fly, and
unfortunately I love this man so much. It's difficult for
me because not only is he one of the greatest
NFL players of all time, he's one of the greatest
New York Giants of all time. Mr Michael Strahan show.
(07:59):
Thank you, Michael, No, hey, I appreciate it. I appreciate
you guys having me. Um, you could have changed a wardrobe,
that's all right. I didn't wear the Eagles. I didn't
wear the Eagles jersey out of respect. That's what were
the Eagles. I had to go with Phillies. Now, my
normal co host is a die hard Cowboys fan, so
(08:19):
we would have been representing almost the entire uh the
greatest division in football, the FC East. Um. But today,
filling in we have our producer who knows nothing about sports,
Mr Kyle Tequila and that funny but I produce a
sports podcast. I don't know how that have a question
for you. Where are you from? Man? Chicago? Okay, you
(08:41):
don't know anything about sports? I mean that's kind of
the thing. I mean, I grew up playing hockey. I
love the Bears, I love black Hawks, I love Chicago spots.
Have you you pay attention now? Not really? What do
you do with your life? What do you do that's
gotta be at some point in time in your life
on a Funday? That's right? Football? Like, what do you know?
(09:01):
I watch it, but I'm not like I'm not. But
tell Michael what you said to me earlier. I said
you didn't want to watch your watching? I said, I
have a life, which means I have a wife, I
have a child, I'm running a business. I like to
just not watch things for a minute to do I
have to look outside. Hey, you know what it sounds
like to me, Kyle. So I was like, your wife said,
(09:24):
you're not watching, she's listening. You had so, I don't know,
dis respect hey, wife, your kids. You can come in
and tell us straight face that I choose not to
watch because I have a life. Like watching reality TV
is kind of watching somebody else lived their life. You're
not living yours, but watching sports is entertainment. So your
(09:47):
wife told you can't watch sports. That's cool, brother, I
appreciate that. Man. Do you take care of your family
because that's number one and that's why this is why
he's filling in sports again. Yeah, this is why you're
feeling in thank you, thank you so much. You've saved me.
You have our you have our permission not to watch sports.
There you go, you've been granted permission. This is a
(10:08):
big day for me. Don't go anywhere. Hey, Pam will
be right back after a work for our sponsors. Let's
get into it. Michael, you've clearly done it all. I'm
curious with all the things that you've done. What what's
(10:29):
given you a bigger life high? Is it a sack
in a in a professional football game? Is it doing
a great, great interview? Does that give you a bigger high?
Or is it closing a big business deal? Because you
are an entrepreneur. So for you at this point in
your career looking at everything, what gives you a bigger high?
(10:49):
The sack? Really? Because you know what? Yeah? Because I
could never do it again. Yeah that makes that's that's
like like something that wants is over over. Yep, don't know, man,
that the thing about getting a sack of football is
that I have to dominate another dude, like throw them
down beat Like it's nothing better than almost taking somebody's
(11:13):
soul a little bit with a sack. You know what
I'm saying. It's like that's better. Like I would love
to clothe the big business Jill. I love that. But
if they're not one today, they'll be one tomorrow, hope
the other doing an interview. Trust me, if there's not
an interview today, as another of you tomorrow. But a
sack everyone is precious and there's nothing better than hitting
(11:33):
a quarterback and you kind of watch the air and
leave his body fan cast man, you got me fired up,
Giant Jersey. So let me ask you this. Do you
have a sack that stands out more than all the
others because you are the all time sack leader? Well,
I think you know Tom Brady and the Super Bowl
(11:56):
was special because that was the Super Bowl. I think
the Donovan mcna have. I had a few on him
where I we'll watch back. No, man, I really closed
on him pretty quickly because he was the tough one
to get down the hardest sack the best sack I
ever had. Like I set to move up and I
made the move when I hit the quarterback so hard
that it put him out, and and like it was
(12:17):
a picture perfect sack with gust far Rott with red skins.
That was the best picture perfect put pain and somebody
sack I ever had. Everybody, don't think I'm a viting guy.
I'm not a vioting guy. I was just out there
at the matter of survival. But if somebody's got to
get beat up, it's not gonna beat me if I
can help it. Exactly what you say that, because our
(12:38):
co host we just love beating the hell out we do.
We love we love sacking Jared every every opportunity that
we get. Um, we definitely love sacking him. Now. The
one thing that's so beautiful when I look back on
it is, you know, obviously you just interviewed Tom Brady
and he has the seven Super Bowls and he's untouchable,
and you know it's unbelievable, but you got to and
(12:59):
both the super Bowls you got, you beat him, So
you definitely when you guys talk, you have the upper hand,
don't you know. You know what I got one the
Giants got to Yeah, I wasn't met a second time.
But you know what, you know, not even not even
the fact that he lost two to the Giant is
the first one that we beat him in, he said,
(13:21):
that is the one that that that just eats him alive.
And the reason being is because they were perfect. They
were perfect season. But the other one, he you know,
we lost the game here and there, but a perfect
season that is immortality. He's already immortal because of seven
Super Bowls, But to say we had a perfect season
and did it that is the one. If you talk
(13:42):
to him to this day, the one that bugs him
the most is losing that one to us. But I'm like, dude,
you got freaking seven. I just needed one so I
can retire. I don't get greedy and let the other
kids play with the ball every once in a while, exactly.
And I know how how big a fan Don Shula
is of that Giant's team. For sure. Hey, you know
(14:02):
what we beat, We beat them. They pop champagne when
we beat um. Denver had a great record with Elway.
One of the years they won the Super Bowl and
they came to New York and we sucked with some reason,
we came together on that Sunday and we beat them.
They sent the champagne too, so the Dolphins make sure
they sent ye to whoever beat the team that looks
(14:23):
like they're gonna go and defeat it. We did a
twice world. I love it. And Kyle, just so you know,
Don Shula was a head football coach for the Miami
Dolphins and and he orchestrated. Are you seriously explaining this? Yes,
he doesn't know who Don Shula is. Michael, he definitely
doesn't know who Don. I'm just gonna let you handle
this guy, Michael, Um, good luck with everything. Come on,
(14:45):
you gotta sit down. We gotta talk about morning the sports.
Come on back, Hey, pat Ball, come back, alright, I'm back,
all right. Your eyes when I was explaining who Don
Cula was my cool, priceless. I can feel the fury.
You were angry. All right. Now you mean the Miami Dolphin,
(15:11):
the team that's in a nura exactly, that's the one.
Now out baby, whatever works, whatever works, all right? Now,
next question again, this has to do with your career.
So what made you more nervous or what makes you
(15:33):
more nervous? Was it your first NFL football game, your
first NFL on Fox episode, your first Good Morning America episode,
your first time hosting Kyle's favorite show, a hundred thousand
dollar appearing love that show, seeing your teeth without your
trademark gap, which just happened recently, or seeing one of
(15:54):
the twins go on a date. What of those makes
you most nervous? Man, Well, first of all, the twins
have not really been on a date yet, thank you.
I'm nervous for the boy more than I am for myself,
because I'm gonna put one of those scenes from Bad
Boys when the guy comes to the door and those
guys show up my lie and uh man, you know what?
(16:18):
That's a That is the probably one of the best
questions I've ever been at, because usually it's very easy
for me to say one of the other. But I
was so scared my first football game, but then I
was so scared at Fox. But then I was terrified
(16:39):
at g m A. Like, I'm like, you give me
ptfd manaken over in this joint, isn't because you have
really triggered me, I would probably say the scariest thing
I've ever done, maybe gm AM, Yeah, Pyramid didn't scare
me because you know, practice through all that stuff. G
M A scared you know what, GM here me football.
(17:01):
I had no idea what I was doing, or at
least I did. I knew it, and I didn't think
I did not realized I had to learn it. So
what I nervous? Yeah? Um, but it all fell on
a team in a sense, like I got to do
my job and I'm on a greater, bigger team. Fox
scare me to death because I got all these thoughts
in my head about what I want to say. But
then by the time they get to me, Terry and
(17:21):
Jimmy and Everybody's taking all the day on notes. So
I'm sitting there like, oh, they took everything I had
written down. I don't have nothing, so you have to
learn the improbrise and makeup stuff. But GM May You're like,
just you, it's news. It's more serious. You can't get
away with like joking your way out stuff like a Fox.
(17:43):
I'm doing commentary, man, and I'm like, I have three
points and I go one and this one that too.
By by by the third one, I'm like, I forgot it.
And it's funny. You know, everybody can laugh at that.
I've done Fox where I'm like, okay, this thing. I
four three points, I go one point, the second point,
I get to the third and I totally forgot it.
So I just started coughing like I was choking. And
(18:07):
then the guys fill in and I'm like, oh yeah,
I remember what I was gonna say. So I'm like,
oh yeah, and let me finish. Yeah, the reason I started.
They think I'm choking, like you're okay any water, I'm like, no,
I just need a thought because I lost my trade
of thoughts. So that stuff I can get away with. GM.
You can't get away with that man. And it was
so Fox Football. I knew football. I've done enough TV football.
(18:29):
I knew I could play football, but you need experience.
G m A. That's when I thought I actually knew
TV because I've been on I've been on five, I've
been on Kelly and Michael. Like I thought I knew
TV until that TV and I realized I knew nothing.
That's a scary thing I've ever done. Okay, great, great answer,
(18:51):
And just to go for a quick minute, just to
go to the twins along the lines of what you said,
you're more worried about the guy. So Chuck Liddell. Uh.
We were together when his daughter went on her first
school dance and Chuck used the famous Sean Penn line
imagine how scary that was for that kid. And Chuck
went up to him really calm, and he said, here's
a deal, son. He goes, whatever you do to my daughter,
(19:13):
I get to do to you. And he smiled. And
that kid you talk about turning ghost white? Oh my god,
it was amazing, amazing. So well, yeah, hey, that's what
I may have to steal. It's a good line. Yeah,
it's a great line anything I get. Of course, I
(19:37):
was talking with somebody about this the other day and
they're like, oh, you know, it's like a dude, I'm
not worried about I know a dude. I know a kid.
I know like I was that eight, and I know
what I hope for now. Yeah, I'm about to go
upstairs there yell my kid? Wrong? What did I do?
(20:04):
Blame it on Davo. Um, Michael, you were the player
picked in the nine three draft Because I don't know, Jack,
hold up a piece of paper. You want to read
the question for me? Actually hold up? He's too good man.
I can't. I can't. I just got to deal with it,
(20:27):
all right, So let me what is that? Okay? Alright,
So so there are thirty nine dudes in front of you,
but you ended up becoming one of the greatest defensive
ends in history. So do you think that is there
something there that motivated you to, you know, to become
great or you already knew you were great, you just
(20:47):
needed more time, or you know, is there anything about that,
you know, not being up in the top ten or
top five in that draft? You know what? You know
what motivated me? Eric Curry, John Copeland, Dan Flipman, called
called Coleman, Rudolph Carl Sampson. Um. Um, yeah, those guys
who got picked in front of me. You know, Todd Kelly,
(21:10):
I went to thet But it wasn't like I wasn't
I didn't know the guys that weren't friends. Like I
was a really good friend with Todd Kelly. Um. But
I remember sitting with one of these scouts from the
forty nine is got named Tommy Hart, sitting there with
him and Todd Kelly. He's a good friend of mine,
and he's right there, like, dude, I'm in college, I'm
(21:32):
this young year old kid, trying to just make it,
and Tommy Hart says, well, you know, Michael, you you'll
never be as good, you know, good of a player
like like Todd And I was like, h yeah, because
you can't close on the quarterback. So was like yeah,
(21:52):
So I remember everybody in front of me, I mean Coleman, Rudolph, Georgia,
Tech gets drafted by the Jets first round, and I
get go to the Giants in the second round, and
that guy ended up being my backup and then and
then goes into the game and places two plays and
it raises his hand like okay, come back in. I'm like, okay,
(22:12):
all right, I see why you weren't in the league
very long because you were lazy and um you were spoiled.
And I came from HBCU. I had to gribe I'm
wearing one pair of shoes and practice in the games
all year long. I don't get a new pair of
Nikes every week. So that I had. My experience of
coming to the NFL was a lot different than other
(22:34):
everybody else, A lot of these guys experiences. And I
didn't come in looking at it like I was supposed
to be there, like they owed me something and they
were going to open up the gates. I came into
a team with Lawrence Taylor and and all this guy
I had to earn it. They weren't giving you. Jack
and Kyle. You would know Lawrence Taylor from any given Sunday.
That's where Kyle would know him from. Oh yeah, yeah,
(22:55):
that guy you want to cut the truck in half
with a chainsaw, didn't blow up when you get the
fuel line? Yeah? Perfect? But yeah, I mean that motivated me. Man,
it motivated me. But also I was motivated by respect.
At the end of the day, you want to be
respective for the job you do. So I just didn't.
(23:17):
You weren't gonna leave a game and think that I
wasn't what you heard or I sucked and nothing. You're
gonna lead the game and we may have ross, but
you're gonna feel it. You're gonna be sort of next
day you're gonna think back. I don't want to play
him again. That was always my focus for respect and
with the respect. Money comes with respect. Um, winning comes
with respect. I mean, if you get respecting you out
(23:38):
there and play, you win games. You wouldn't you go
looking for me when the Super Bowl. Respect come with that,
But I just want to respect from a players standpoint
of guys on that field who know who real the
real good guys are not think guys who good players
because the media anoints them, but guys who actually, you know,
you put on the field they actually can't play. That
motivated me representing the family. Man, can't disappoint my mom
(23:59):
and dad like that was yeah, that was it. They're
gonna walk around with the name proudly. Well, I think
you hit the nail on the head when you talked
about you didn't You didn't expect anything to be given
to you. And I think that's what happens a lot nowadays,
especially with these earlier picks, as they kind of expect like, hey,
this is how it's supposed to be or game. Yeah.
(24:19):
So think about it though, Man, you one years old,
you get picked, You got millions of dollars in your pocket.
Who could really tell you anything? I had nothing near
that and you couldn't tell me nothing when I first started.
I mean I got I used to cast my little check.
I get like six grand a week cash that check,
walk around a little not my pocket thinking I was like, bald,
(24:41):
I didn't realize that you know what, that's the last
for sixteen seventeen weeks. I still got thirty five more
weeks to live during the seat there the year, I
was like, oh yeah, that money put the last the
whole year. Like, but you can't tell a young guys.
Very hard to tell a young guy certain things because
they've never experienced it. For me, I was just lucky
(25:03):
enough to outlast my mistakes as far as like my
career and all that. A lot of different things. We
just around long enough to outlast the things end up
coming out on the other side of it. But yeah,
it's hard. It's hard man to be twenty some years
old and and have millions of dollars in the bank,
and I feel like, you're it's easy. But I always
(25:24):
tell guys, the second game is over with well, the
team will let you. I can call the giant. Now,
I can go to the facility, I'll have lunch, I
go to a game, going to the suite. I can
stand on the sideline. They're not writing me another check.
When it's over, it's over. And I just never wanted
(25:45):
to look back at the end of my career and say, oh, man,
if I only worked harder, if I had only done
this or done that. No, I put it all in
when I was there, when I walked away, and no regrets.
I never once looked back and said I should have
kept going maybe another year. No, I was good, don't
go anywhere. Hey, Pam will be right back after a
work from our sponsors. But it's so freaking true. It's
(26:13):
also go so hand in hand because it's not about
an individual, it's about teamwork. No one want. No one
has had success. It's gotten has gotten where they had
gotten because they didn't have people help there. They didn't
have a good team behind them. They didn't have somebody
lifted them up, somebody carried them at some time or
encourage them. And so I have an incredible team, great
people behind me. And I've always been the guy who
(26:35):
didn't want to ever be the weak link on the team.
So I was always willing to push myself and work
a little harder and stay a little later, and do
whatever it took to be successful. And that's what life
is like. Life is not waking up and it's just
there for you. I remember my dad said, boy, one day,
you're gonna find out that everything when you out on
your own, everything is your responsibility fund the toilet paper
(26:58):
to the Q tips and every time, every day I
use a que tip. I'm my damn, that was right.
I had to take this cute tip, gave this cute
tip like everything is on you, and it was just
a different attitude I had to take. Man, that I
gotta you know, if you want to have success, you
gotta be willing to work for it. You gotta be
willing to sacrifice some of the things that, um, you
(27:21):
probably want to do in a moment, do something or whatever.
You gotta sacrifice those things for the long term goal.
For me, I've done that. It's just worked out, you know,
better than I ever imagine. Yeah, it's amazing. It's been
awesome and and and well deserved by the way. Um,
will you go Rocky really quick? Nicole? Can you bring
Rocky down? You're gonna like next question, Michael, we got
(27:43):
a surprise guest for you, Rocky. Wait, wait until somebody
got to carry Seves. Wait wait until you see this.
Oh boy, I'm almost afraid there is Nicole. Hey, Nicole,
how are you and that? Let Kyle watch football? Said
(28:13):
football on Sundays because we're making fun of alcohol. Doesn't
know anything about about football than Kyle though. Alright, So
the reason I brought Rocky down is because you had
a lot of great teammates over the years, and now
you have a great teammate, your dog, Enzo. Who's who's
your best friend? Describe that relationship with Enzo, and how
(28:37):
does it compare to any of the relationships you had
with some of your teammates. It's unlike any relationship I
have my teammates. Some of my relationship with my teammates
may have had limits, like I'm not taking them on vacation,
I'm not giving them bad I'm not picking up some way.
(29:00):
I thought that's what you guys did in the locker room. No, man,
maybe a rookie. May I tell you, man, I did not.
I didn't want a dog. I didn't want a dog
for a long time. I don't have time for dog. Man.
I'm busy of traveling. This at the kids. Man, this
dog is like the best things ever happened. When I
(29:23):
walk in the door, he for the most part, he
is by far the most excited one to see so
and I just like I can't get enough of him.
And and even you know, you find out that you
love with your dog so much that here in New
York when it's cold, you're like, I don't care how
I'll take him out for walk, right, you know you're
willing to take walks in the middle of the freezing
(29:43):
cold and you don't even mind in the middle of
the night. Yeah, he's perfect, perfect, couldn't ask for a
better dog. No, I mean, dogs are amazing and and
and obviously I really unfortunately, I really really understood it
when when my pops unfortunately passed away and I gave
my dog to my mom, and that dog saying my
mom's life for those first couple of years. You know
(30:05):
what I mean, because it gave her something. It gave
her something that loved her unconditionally. It gave her something
to take care of, something to look out for, something
that when she was tired and didn't want to get
out of bed, had to get out of bed to
take the dog out. That's a huge factor. So you
totally get it, you know when when when you connect
with with an animal and something you have to take
(30:27):
care of it, it's actually a really great thing and
a really special relationship for babies. No, and I agree
with you how to present and about all of that man,
and and yeah, I lost my father to unfortunately in
that same club. And and you do. It's nice sometimes,
you know the dog. I can lean on it though,
and there's no conversation needed, like he just sense and
(30:49):
feels when you. Well, you're just sitting there on the
couch some day and he'll come over and just look
at you and like end. Though he doesn't doesn't jump
on anything. He had to be called up on the couch.
He's like one of these boozer lea trained all right, right,
so they're calling him up there. He just knows when
you need it, you know, he needs to just be
there next to you. And it is something, man, help
(31:10):
you through the hard time. And what kind of dog
is Rocky? He's a Chihuahua Yorkie mix ch chaa yorkie.
What do you call it? Chorkey chorky And they call
the chorky. Yes, I don't call him chorky. He's just
as bad as you are. I just call him Rocky. Man,
he says, A dude, look at Michael Man. When I
(31:31):
come Kyle, when I come out to l a faith
to faith brother man, you're going to go ahead and
lunch and straight this guy is the greatest. I mean,
he's he's he's the best. He's just he's a very
you know when when people say they're likable or they're endearing,
like a lot of people you know say I'm endearing,
(31:53):
Jared's not necessary endearing or likable. Um, Michael Strahan is both.
He has all of it. He does. He's the full package. Yeah,
what a guy. Too bad we have to cut this
thing in a half. Yeah, but it's good because it
leaves our audience with with more. I'm want to be
wanting more anticipation of that exactly one of the yes.

a whole official setup. We do we do with some bs.
That's real. Let me take my jacket on. This is
my co host, my co host Kyle, who knows nothing
about sports. He's filling in for my regular co host
(02:36):
Sonybody know, it's absolutely nothing, but he's handsome. He's got
great hair, Michael, he has great hair. I'm usually the
one button is making sure the show doesn't go off
the rails. Hey man, all you need is hair to
set on podcast that you don't have to You don't
have to know a damn thing you're talking about. I've
made it living about. But by the way, um, what
(02:58):
car did you drive home today? What were you in today? No?
You know what. I didn't even get a chab and
drive my car forever. I was in the Baamas for
two weeks right then I came back and I've just
been sitting in my little Navigator man, getting driven to
it from work myself. But this weekend tomorrow, hopefully I'll
get to drift something nice. Okay, So I have a
funny story about that really quick. So remember when I
(03:20):
was at Super Bowl with Rebel and I was with
Adam Divine. But I think you were thinking I was
with Adam Oh God, So I you know who Adam
Divine is though, So I go, I go up to
Adam Divine and I'm like, dude, I just talked to
Michael Strahan. He like loves you and he lit up.
He like lit up, and I'm like, you guys were
(03:42):
talking about this car, and so I'm giving him this
whole spiel about how much you love him in this
car that he wanted, and he was like, uh, Dave,
I'm a little confused, and I go, what do you mean?
And he goes, well, I love Michael Stray and he's like,
I think he's incredible and I would love to talk
to him and I'd love to talk to him about cars.
But he goes, I don't think he knows who I am.
(04:05):
And I'm like, oh my god, I know who A
little guy black hair all I thought you said Vine
and I I remember Adam Levin the last time I
saw him. Out of Adam. We got to the bottom
of it, there's Michael Adam Man. I know who you are.
(04:28):
Of course I know who you are. I'm a big fan.
We got the last name mixed up, but I had
cars on the brain. That's that's all. That's all. So
it reminded me of one night. I'm at the Sunset
Tower Hotel and I'm with David O. Russell, the director,
and I'm a Jamie Fox and we're with Timothy shallowmy
(04:50):
right when he was starting to blow up. And we're
sitting down and we're talking and david O. Russell's like, so,
you know, Jamie, tell me about Davo. And Jamie's like,
I don't know what to tell you about Davo. I
don't know how. But he knows everybody on earth. He's
connected to everybody. He knows everyone. And just as he's
saying this, Phil Mickelson, the golfer comes over to our
(05:11):
table and he taps me on the shoulder and he's like,
get up and give me a hug. Phil Mickelson, I've
never met him in my life, Okay, So he gives
me this and I'm like, I'm like, I'm just going
with it. I'm like, Phil, meet david O Russell, the director,
meet Jamie Fox and he's like and Jamie Fox goes man,
(05:32):
He's like, hell the hell you know this motherfucker? And
Phil goes oh, he's the best, and like I'm like,
I'm like this because I have no idea what the
hell is going on. So it turned out he thought
I was Jerry Ferrara say that. I'm like, yeah, Jerry
(06:04):
is by guy too. I love Jr. And it was
it was after Jerry had lost a lot of weight.
It was after he had lost a lot of weight.
So Phil Mickelson was like, do you look amazing? And
he's like sitting there like touching me, and I'm like,
what the hell is going on here? I've never met
this man? So hold on, did you tell David and
all those guys that you didn't know? No? Hell no,
(06:28):
they know now. I would like to tell you, man,
there's not very many people that I'll ever that I've
ever been mistaken for. But I will say when I
was playing, you're a little heavier and bigger guy. Yeah.
I'm at a Knicks game and I'm on the front row.
You know, I'm feeling good about myself. They gave me
front row ticket to the Knicks. Baby, I'm like New Yorker,
(06:51):
right yep, sitting there watching the game, trying to be cool,
sitting in the front row. Dude, come down at halftime, Hey,
I get you to sign you know, autograph. I'm like, oh, yeah,
I'm probably gonna have. I really appreciate it. Champ. I
was riding both get out of here. I'm looking like, man,
(07:15):
that was so amazing. Unbelievable. Alright, let's get with this
show is over. That was it. That was so podcast.
I really appreciate it. Alright. So, Kyle, I'm so excited
about today. We have a very very special guest today.
It pains me a little bit because, as you know,
(07:36):
I'm a massive Philadelphia sports fan Fly Eagles, Fly, and
unfortunately I love this man so much. It's difficult for
me because not only is he one of the greatest
NFL players of all time, he's one of the greatest
New York Giants of all time. Mr Michael Strahan show.
(07:59):
Thank you, Michael, No, hey, I appreciate it. I appreciate
you guys having me. Um, you could have changed a wardrobe,
that's all right. I didn't wear the Eagles. I didn't
wear the Eagles jersey out of respect. That's what were
the Eagles. I had to go with Phillies. Now, my
normal co host is a die hard Cowboys fan, so
(08:19):
we would have been representing almost the entire uh the
greatest division in football, the FC East. Um. But today,
filling in we have our producer who knows nothing about sports,
Mr Kyle Tequila and that funny but I produce a
sports podcast. I don't know how that have a question
for you. Where are you from? Man? Chicago? Okay, you
(08:41):
don't know anything about sports? I mean that's kind of
the thing. I mean, I grew up playing hockey. I
love the Bears, I love black Hawks, I love Chicago spots.
Have you you pay attention now? Not really? What do
you do with your life? What do you do that's
gotta be at some point in time in your life
on a Funday? That's right? Football? Like, what do you know?
(09:01):
I watch it, but I'm not like I'm not. But
tell Michael what you said to me earlier. I said
you didn't want to watch your watching? I said, I
have a life, which means I have a wife, I
have a child, I'm running a business. I like to
just not watch things for a minute to do I
have to look outside. Hey, you know what it sounds
like to me, Kyle. So I was like, your wife said,
(09:24):
you're not watching, she's listening. You had so, I don't know,
dis respect hey, wife, your kids. You can come in
and tell us straight face that I choose not to
watch because I have a life. Like watching reality TV
is kind of watching somebody else lived their life. You're
not living yours, but watching sports is entertainment. So your
(09:47):
wife told you can't watch sports. That's cool, brother, I
appreciate that. Man. Do you take care of your family
because that's number one and that's why this is why
he's filling in sports again. Yeah, this is why you're
feeling in thank you, thank you so much. You've saved me.
You have our you have our permission not to watch sports.
There you go, you've been granted permission. This is a
(10:08):
big day for me. Don't go anywhere. Hey, Pam will
be right back after a work for our sponsors. Let's
get into it. Michael, you've clearly done it all. I'm
curious with all the things that you've done. What what's
(10:29):
given you a bigger life high? Is it a sack
in a in a professional football game? Is it doing
a great, great interview? Does that give you a bigger high?
Or is it closing a big business deal? Because you
are an entrepreneur. So for you at this point in
your career looking at everything, what gives you a bigger high?
(10:49):
The sack? Really? Because you know what? Yeah? Because I
could never do it again. Yeah that makes that's that's
like like something that wants is over over. Yep, don't know, man,
that the thing about getting a sack of football is
that I have to dominate another dude, like throw them
down beat Like it's nothing better than almost taking somebody's
(11:13):
soul a little bit with a sack. You know what
I'm saying. It's like that's better. Like I would love
to clothe the big business Jill. I love that. But
if they're not one today, they'll be one tomorrow, hope
the other doing an interview. Trust me, if there's not
an interview today, as another of you tomorrow. But a
sack everyone is precious and there's nothing better than hitting
(11:33):
a quarterback and you kind of watch the air and
leave his body fan cast man, you got me fired up,
Giant Jersey. So let me ask you this. Do you
have a sack that stands out more than all the
others because you are the all time sack leader? Well,
I think you know Tom Brady and the Super Bowl
(11:56):
was special because that was the Super Bowl. I think
the Donovan mcna have. I had a few on him
where I we'll watch back. No, man, I really closed
on him pretty quickly because he was the tough one
to get down the hardest sack the best sack I
ever had. Like I set to move up and I
made the move when I hit the quarterback so hard
that it put him out, and and like it was
(12:17):
a picture perfect sack with gust far Rott with red skins.
That was the best picture perfect put pain and somebody
sack I ever had. Everybody, don't think I'm a viting guy.
I'm not a vioting guy. I was just out there
at the matter of survival. But if somebody's got to
get beat up, it's not gonna beat me if I
can help it. Exactly what you say that, because our
(12:38):
co host we just love beating the hell out we do.
We love we love sacking Jared every every opportunity that
we get. Um, we definitely love sacking him. Now. The
one thing that's so beautiful when I look back on
it is, you know, obviously you just interviewed Tom Brady
and he has the seven Super Bowls and he's untouchable,
and you know it's unbelievable, but you got to and
(12:59):
both the super Bowls you got, you beat him, So
you definitely when you guys talk, you have the upper hand,
don't you know. You know what I got one the
Giants got to Yeah, I wasn't met a second time.
But you know what, you know, not even not even
the fact that he lost two to the Giant is
the first one that we beat him in, he said,
(13:21):
that is the one that that that just eats him alive.
And the reason being is because they were perfect. They
were perfect season. But the other one, he you know,
we lost the game here and there, but a perfect
season that is immortality. He's already immortal because of seven
Super Bowls, But to say we had a perfect season
and did it that is the one. If you talk
(13:42):
to him to this day, the one that bugs him
the most is losing that one to us. But I'm like, dude,
you got freaking seven. I just needed one so I
can retire. I don't get greedy and let the other
kids play with the ball every once in a while, exactly.
And I know how how big a fan Don Shula
is of that Giant's team. For sure. Hey, you know
(14:02):
what we beat, We beat them. They pop champagne when
we beat um. Denver had a great record with Elway.
One of the years they won the Super Bowl and
they came to New York and we sucked with some reason,
we came together on that Sunday and we beat them.
They sent the champagne too, so the Dolphins make sure
they sent ye to whoever beat the team that looks
(14:23):
like they're gonna go and defeat it. We did a
twice world. I love it. And Kyle, just so you know,
Don Shula was a head football coach for the Miami
Dolphins and and he orchestrated. Are you seriously explaining this? Yes,
he doesn't know who Don Shula is. Michael, he definitely
doesn't know who Don. I'm just gonna let you handle
this guy, Michael, Um, good luck with everything. Come on,
(14:45):
you gotta sit down. We gotta talk about morning the sports.
Come on back, Hey, pat Ball, come back, alright, I'm back,
all right. Your eyes when I was explaining who Don
Cula was my cool, priceless. I can feel the fury.
You were angry. All right. Now you mean the Miami Dolphin,
(15:11):
the team that's in a nura exactly, that's the one.
Now out baby, whatever works, whatever works, all right? Now,
next question again, this has to do with your career.
So what made you more nervous or what makes you
(15:33):
more nervous? Was it your first NFL football game, your
first NFL on Fox episode, your first Good Morning America episode,
your first time hosting Kyle's favorite show, a hundred thousand
dollar appearing love that show, seeing your teeth without your
trademark gap, which just happened recently, or seeing one of
(15:54):
the twins go on a date. What of those makes
you most nervous? Man, Well, first of all, the twins
have not really been on a date yet, thank you.
I'm nervous for the boy more than I am for myself,
because I'm gonna put one of those scenes from Bad
Boys when the guy comes to the door and those
guys show up my lie and uh man, you know what?
(16:18):
That's a That is the probably one of the best
questions I've ever been at, because usually it's very easy
for me to say one of the other. But I
was so scared my first football game, but then I
was so scared at Fox. But then I was terrified
(16:39):
at g m A. Like, I'm like, you give me
ptfd manaken over in this joint, isn't because you have
really triggered me, I would probably say the scariest thing
I've ever done, maybe gm AM, Yeah, Pyramid didn't scare
me because you know, practice through all that stuff. G
M A scared you know what, GM here me football.
(17:01):
I had no idea what I was doing, or at
least I did. I knew it, and I didn't think
I did not realized I had to learn it. So
what I nervous? Yeah? Um, but it all fell on
a team in a sense, like I got to do
my job and I'm on a greater, bigger team. Fox
scare me to death because I got all these thoughts
in my head about what I want to say. But
then by the time they get to me, Terry and
(17:21):
Jimmy and Everybody's taking all the day on notes. So
I'm sitting there like, oh, they took everything I had
written down. I don't have nothing, so you have to
learn the improbrise and makeup stuff. But GM May You're like,
just you, it's news. It's more serious. You can't get
away with like joking your way out stuff like a Fox.
(17:43):
I'm doing commentary, man, and I'm like, I have three
points and I go one and this one that too.
By by by the third one, I'm like, I forgot it.
And it's funny. You know, everybody can laugh at that.
I've done Fox where I'm like, okay, this thing. I
four three points, I go one point, the second point,
I get to the third and I totally forgot it.
So I just started coughing like I was choking. And
(18:07):
then the guys fill in and I'm like, oh yeah,
I remember what I was gonna say. So I'm like,
oh yeah, and let me finish. Yeah, the reason I started.
They think I'm choking, like you're okay any water, I'm like, no,
I just need a thought because I lost my trade
of thoughts. So that stuff I can get away with. GM.
You can't get away with that man. And it was
so Fox Football. I knew football. I've done enough TV football.
(18:29):
I knew I could play football, but you need experience.
G m A. That's when I thought I actually knew
TV because I've been on I've been on five, I've
been on Kelly and Michael. Like I thought I knew
TV until that TV and I realized I knew nothing.
That's a scary thing I've ever done. Okay, great, great answer,
(18:51):
And just to go for a quick minute, just to
go to the twins along the lines of what you said,
you're more worried about the guy. So Chuck Liddell. Uh.
We were together when his daughter went on her first
school dance and Chuck used the famous Sean Penn line
imagine how scary that was for that kid. And Chuck
went up to him really calm, and he said, here's
a deal, son. He goes, whatever you do to my daughter,
(19:13):
I get to do to you. And he smiled. And
that kid you talk about turning ghost white? Oh my god,
it was amazing, amazing. So well, yeah, hey, that's what
I may have to steal. It's a good line. Yeah,
it's a great line anything I get. Of course, I
(19:37):
was talking with somebody about this the other day and
they're like, oh, you know, it's like a dude, I'm
not worried about I know a dude. I know a kid.
I know like I was that eight, and I know
what I hope for now. Yeah, I'm about to go
upstairs there yell my kid? Wrong? What did I do?
(20:04):
Blame it on Davo. Um, Michael, you were the player
picked in the nine three draft Because I don't know, Jack,
hold up a piece of paper. You want to read
the question for me? Actually hold up? He's too good man.
I can't. I can't. I just got to deal with it,
(20:27):
all right, So let me what is that? Okay? Alright,
So so there are thirty nine dudes in front of you,
but you ended up becoming one of the greatest defensive
ends in history. So do you think that is there
something there that motivated you to, you know, to become
great or you already knew you were great, you just
(20:47):
needed more time, or you know, is there anything about that,
you know, not being up in the top ten or
top five in that draft? You know what? You know
what motivated me? Eric Curry, John Copeland, Dan Flipman, called
called Coleman, Rudolph Carl Sampson. Um. Um, yeah, those guys
who got picked in front of me. You know, Todd Kelly,
(21:10):
I went to thet But it wasn't like I wasn't
I didn't know the guys that weren't friends. Like I
was a really good friend with Todd Kelly. Um. But
I remember sitting with one of these scouts from the
forty nine is got named Tommy Hart, sitting there with
him and Todd Kelly. He's a good friend of mine,
and he's right there, like, dude, I'm in college, I'm
(21:32):
this young year old kid, trying to just make it,
and Tommy Hart says, well, you know, Michael, you you'll
never be as good, you know, good of a player
like like Todd And I was like, h yeah, because
you can't close on the quarterback. So was like yeah,
(21:52):
So I remember everybody in front of me, I mean Coleman, Rudolph, Georgia,
Tech gets drafted by the Jets first round, and I
get go to the Giants in the second round, and
that guy ended up being my backup and then and
then goes into the game and places two plays and
it raises his hand like okay, come back in. I'm like, okay,
(22:12):
all right, I see why you weren't in the league
very long because you were lazy and um you were spoiled.
And I came from HBCU. I had to gribe I'm
wearing one pair of shoes and practice in the games
all year long. I don't get a new pair of
Nikes every week. So that I had. My experience of
coming to the NFL was a lot different than other
(22:34):
everybody else, A lot of these guys experiences. And I
didn't come in looking at it like I was supposed
to be there, like they owed me something and they
were going to open up the gates. I came into
a team with Lawrence Taylor and and all this guy
I had to earn it. They weren't giving you. Jack
and Kyle. You would know Lawrence Taylor from any given Sunday.
That's where Kyle would know him from. Oh yeah, yeah,
(22:55):
that guy you want to cut the truck in half
with a chainsaw, didn't blow up when you get the
fuel line? Yeah? Perfect? But yeah, I mean that motivated me. Man,
it motivated me. But also I was motivated by respect.
At the end of the day, you want to be
respective for the job you do. So I just didn't.
(23:17):
You weren't gonna leave a game and think that I
wasn't what you heard or I sucked and nothing. You're
gonna lead the game and we may have ross, but
you're gonna feel it. You're gonna be sort of next
day you're gonna think back. I don't want to play
him again. That was always my focus for respect and
with the respect. Money comes with respect. Um, winning comes
with respect. I mean, if you get respecting you out
(23:38):
there and play, you win games. You wouldn't you go
looking for me when the Super Bowl. Respect come with that,
But I just want to respect from a players standpoint
of guys on that field who know who real the
real good guys are not think guys who good players
because the media anoints them, but guys who actually, you know,
you put on the field they actually can't play. That
motivated me representing the family. Man, can't disappoint my mom
(23:59):
and dad like that was yeah, that was it. They're
gonna walk around with the name proudly. Well, I think
you hit the nail on the head when you talked
about you didn't You didn't expect anything to be given
to you. And I think that's what happens a lot nowadays,
especially with these earlier picks, as they kind of expect like, hey,
this is how it's supposed to be or game. Yeah.
(24:19):
So think about it though, Man, you one years old,
you get picked, You got millions of dollars in your pocket.
Who could really tell you anything? I had nothing near
that and you couldn't tell me nothing when I first started.
I mean I got I used to cast my little check.
I get like six grand a week cash that check,
walk around a little not my pocket thinking I was like, bald,
(24:41):
I didn't realize that you know what, that's the last
for sixteen seventeen weeks. I still got thirty five more
weeks to live during the seat there the year, I
was like, oh yeah, that money put the last the
whole year. Like, but you can't tell a young guys.
Very hard to tell a young guy certain things because
they've never experienced it. For me, I was just lucky
(25:03):
enough to outlast my mistakes as far as like my
career and all that. A lot of different things. We
just around long enough to outlast the things end up
coming out on the other side of it. But yeah,
it's hard. It's hard man to be twenty some years
old and and have millions of dollars in the bank,
and I feel like, you're it's easy. But I always
(25:24):
tell guys, the second game is over with well, the
team will let you. I can call the giant. Now,
I can go to the facility, I'll have lunch, I
go to a game, going to the suite. I can
stand on the sideline. They're not writing me another check.
When it's over, it's over. And I just never wanted
(25:45):
to look back at the end of my career and say, oh, man,
if I only worked harder, if I had only done
this or done that. No, I put it all in
when I was there, when I walked away, and no regrets.
I never once looked back and said I should have
kept going maybe another year. No, I was good, don't
go anywhere. Hey, Pam will be right back after a
work from our sponsors. But it's so freaking true. It's
(26:13):
also go so hand in hand because it's not about
an individual, it's about teamwork. No one want. No one
has had success. It's gotten has gotten where they had
gotten because they didn't have people help there. They didn't
have a good team behind them. They didn't have somebody
lifted them up, somebody carried them at some time or
encourage them. And so I have an incredible team, great
people behind me. And I've always been the guy who
(26:35):
didn't want to ever be the weak link on the team.
So I was always willing to push myself and work
a little harder and stay a little later, and do
whatever it took to be successful. And that's what life
is like. Life is not waking up and it's just
there for you. I remember my dad said, boy, one day,
you're gonna find out that everything when you out on
your own, everything is your responsibility fund the toilet paper
(26:58):
to the Q tips and every time, every day I
use a que tip. I'm my damn, that was right.
I had to take this cute tip, gave this cute
tip like everything is on you, and it was just
a different attitude I had to take. Man, that I
gotta you know, if you want to have success, you
gotta be willing to work for it. You gotta be
willing to sacrifice some of the things that, um, you
(27:21):
probably want to do in a moment, do something or whatever.
You gotta sacrifice those things for the long term goal.
For me, I've done that. It's just worked out, you know,
better than I ever imagine. Yeah, it's amazing. It's been
awesome and and and well deserved by the way. Um,
will you go Rocky really quick? Nicole? Can you bring
Rocky down? You're gonna like next question, Michael, we got
(27:43):
a surprise guest for you, Rocky. Wait, wait until somebody
got to carry Seves. Wait wait until you see this.
Oh boy, I'm almost afraid there is Nicole. Hey, Nicole,
how are you and that? Let Kyle watch football? Said
(28:13):
football on Sundays because we're making fun of alcohol. Doesn't
know anything about about football than Kyle though. Alright, So
the reason I brought Rocky down is because you had
a lot of great teammates over the years, and now
you have a great teammate, your dog, Enzo. Who's who's
your best friend? Describe that relationship with Enzo, and how
(28:37):
does it compare to any of the relationships you had
with some of your teammates. It's unlike any relationship I
have my teammates. Some of my relationship with my teammates
may have had limits, like I'm not taking them on vacation,
I'm not giving them bad I'm not picking up some way.
(29:00):
I thought that's what you guys did in the locker room. No, man,
maybe a rookie. May I tell you, man, I did not.
I didn't want a dog. I didn't want a dog
for a long time. I don't have time for dog. Man.
I'm busy of traveling. This at the kids. Man, this
dog is like the best things ever happened. When I
(29:23):
walk in the door, he for the most part, he
is by far the most excited one to see so
and I just like I can't get enough of him.
And and even you know, you find out that you
love with your dog so much that here in New
York when it's cold, you're like, I don't care how
I'll take him out for walk, right, you know you're
willing to take walks in the middle of the freezing
(29:43):
cold and you don't even mind in the middle of
the night. Yeah, he's perfect, perfect, couldn't ask for a
better dog. No, I mean, dogs are amazing and and
and obviously I really unfortunately, I really really understood it
when when my pops unfortunately passed away and I gave
my dog to my mom, and that dog saying my
mom's life for those first couple of years. You know
(30:05):
what I mean, because it gave her something. It gave
her something that loved her unconditionally. It gave her something
to take care of, something to look out for, something
that when she was tired and didn't want to get
out of bed, had to get out of bed to
take the dog out. That's a huge factor. So you
totally get it, you know when when when you connect
with with an animal and something you have to take
(30:27):
care of it, it's actually a really great thing and
a really special relationship for babies. No, and I agree
with you how to present and about all of that man,
and and yeah, I lost my father to unfortunately in
that same club. And and you do. It's nice sometimes,
you know the dog. I can lean on it though,
and there's no conversation needed, like he just sense and
(30:49):
feels when you. Well, you're just sitting there on the
couch some day and he'll come over and just look
at you and like end. Though he doesn't doesn't jump
on anything. He had to be called up on the couch.
He's like one of these boozer lea trained all right, right,
so they're calling him up there. He just knows when
you need it, you know, he needs to just be
there next to you. And it is something, man, help
(31:10):
you through the hard time. And what kind of dog
is Rocky? He's a Chihuahua Yorkie mix ch chaa yorkie.
What do you call it? Chorkey chorky And they call
the chorky. Yes, I don't call him chorky. He's just
as bad as you are. I just call him Rocky. Man,
he says, A dude, look at Michael Man. When I
(31:31):
come Kyle, when I come out to l a faith
to faith brother man, you're going to go ahead and
lunch and straight this guy is the greatest. I mean,
he's he's he's the best. He's just he's a very
you know when when people say they're likable or they're endearing,
like a lot of people you know say I'm endearing,
(31:53):
Jared's not necessary endearing or likable. Um, Michael Strahan is both.
He has all of it. He does. He's the full package. Yeah,
what a guy. Too bad we have to cut this
thing in a half. Yeah, but it's good because it
leaves our audience with with more. I'm want to be
wanting more anticipation of that exactly one of the yes.
