Eddie’s trying to wrap his head around why his kid has basketball practice on Super Bowl Sunday, and the room debates what’s a reasonable time to have a practice on Super Bowl Sunday. Then Bo Jackson jumps in with the legendary story of ripping a 4.1 40-yard dash—including how the timing got talked about and why that moment still follows him. And to top it off, it was a rough week to be a Patriots fan, so we unpacked the reason behind it, not just a Super Bowl loss.

Sorry, Kevin game, Sorry keV.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
Yeah, thanks guys. It was a It was a brutal
one to watch. And I'm a fan. I can't even
matter not being a fan of the teams.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That's a brutal one to watch.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That was hard.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, we had money on it too. We had our
team league in which, by the way, your bill comes
due maybe today.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh oh yeah, yeah, he's gonna send a text like
how's that?
Speaker 7 (00:41):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (00:41):
We go Venmo or just yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Can I write a check?
Speaker 7 (00:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Can I Can I pay in like quarterly?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No installments.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I missed every bet last night too, same like I
bet fifty hundred bucks on the Patriots to cover plus
four and a half, and then I jumped back in
for another five hundred when it was plus five and
a half when they and then it was just like
I'm stopping.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
What was the most points?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
You got five and a half?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I got eight? No, I stopped and I thought eight
would cover Itah.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Yeah, they showed no life. I mean, I guess a
little bit of life and then third early fourth, but
that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They really want that good of a team, right, the Patriots.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
No, man, that what I kept thinking. And I'm sorry, Kevin,
You're not gonn want to hear this easy to say
this now, but I know I just kept thinking, like, wow,
should have been the Broncos better defense. It's just just
what I was thinking.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
And our defense is really good. I know, our offense
is really bad.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It sucks. I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Yeah, that's all right. I mean, I'm happy we were
there for sure. Obviously we did not expect that at all,
so expectations were pretty, i don't know, not necessarily low
coming in, but like if we went great. The only
thing that the part that makes me sad and that
sucks is like there was no fight, like it's it's
to lose is one thing, but to like I think
I yelled one time outside of like yelling bad things,
(01:56):
but one good thing, and that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So that when they were not two scores before they
did that pick, I thought, okay, we might can make
this into something, yes, And mostly I thought maybe we
in cover.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, cover was what I was rooting for something.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Dude, I need a break, So I'm glad it's over.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah yeah, but you know what, March Maddis is just
around the corner.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, maybe it'd be better for me there. But I
had a bad twenty twenty five slash early twenty twenty
six for sure. It was one of my worst ever.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, it's pretty bad one for the books.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Kevin.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
At what point during the game did you think, like
is done?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Uh when they scored the touchdown and he was wide open.
I was after the fumble, I believe, and I was like,
I don't know, you've been.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Thinking the first half where they couldn't score it all,
Like I couldn't. They couldn't even get first downs. I
think they got two.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Maybe they kind of did this all playoffs, so where
it's like they didn't look great on offense, and then
the second half they looked a lot better. So I
was like, this is gonna take some time. Drake May
looks nervous. Josh McDaniels, I don't know what the heck
that game plan was, but it was just very basic
and boring. They didn't change anything up, So I was like, okay,
I'm just gonna give it till the second half and
as long as there's somewhat in it. They were down
nine to nothing, I felt good. I was like, I
(03:00):
can't believe we're only down nine. That game felt like
it was fifty to nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
At halftime. I still felt like he had a shot
because you're only down nine and a half exactly. So yeah,
the bad game.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Though.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
My wife was like this game sucks.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah, like I'm out.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
She only want to.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Watch half time show anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
She didn't watch the second half.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, she went and watched Tell Me Lies or something
on Netflix. D scare it that much anyway, but if
it had been close, she would have stayed. She was like, terrible,
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know, you know you're talking about UFC, like you
never watch UFC, but then you like the one you
watch is too bad as a bad fight two girls.
So my wife never watches full games, and she was
just like, I'm gonna watch this full game, guys. I'm
just like, why is this the game?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Did she stay with it?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
She did the game in her game and she was
like that's pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
And there was no like, I mean, Kenneth Walker had
some good players. But outside of that, both sides it
was like there's no like big not fighting plays nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I was rooting for the kicker to win MVP.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Yeah that would have been cool.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I mean he was a punter.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
The Dixon had a great game too.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That punter was on.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But I think the kicker he kicked four or five
field goals. I forget what it ended at. It was
most in fild goal and cool history. Yeah, like, if
there ever was a kicker to win the MVP, he
scored fifteen points, he should have won MVP.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Do you guys ever vote for that stuff?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Have you ever voted for MVP?
Speaker 6 (04:12):
What do you mean where online?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah? They tell you during the game, like to vote
for the MVP.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Get Oh really yeah? Oh I didn't know. The other thing.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The Seahawks were a four and a half point favorite,
and they broke a streak of underdogs winning three straight
Super Bowls.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The Patriots wearing white jerseys and white pants, a combination
they had never worn the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah that stuff is. They look nice.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The Seahawks were winning nine zero at halftime, which means
the teams now zero to fifteen in Super Bowl history.
Whin scoreless at the half. The Seahawks only trailed for
one minute and thirty five seconds the entire postseason. That's
the fifth least amount of anytime trailing. But they only
trailed for barely over ninety seconds the whole Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I mean, they're obviously the much better team, but I
think just in general in the NFL, they were probably
the best team at least second half of the season.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Listen to this. The Seahawks are the first Super Bowl
champion to go their entire postseason without committing a turnover.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Oh wow, that's what Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
The Seahawks won eleven to zero across the entire season
when scoring first. Sam Donald became the first quarterback to
win a Super Bowl after playing for at least five
different teams.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He was with Minnesota last year, but again, obviously they
passed on bringing it back. I did like that story.
I think I said that if the Patriots didn't win,
my favorite story to root for was Us and Money.
My second favorite story was Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's pretty cool. Good for him, although he wasn't very
excited with his performance. I mean, he was kind of
just like.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He missed a few throws, But there was a point
where it was just up to him not to lose it.
It wasn't up to him to win it.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Yeah, and I think he knew that and they won it,
and I'm glad it wasn't there. I can tell you that.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Hey, I thought it was gonna be a blowout for
I really did. Like for. I was like, ma, this
is gonna be Crazy's gonna be the first blowout in
Super Bowl history.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You mean as the game started and Seattle just had
controlling Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
I remember the Seattle Denver one ten years ago. It
was forty three to eight. First play was the over
at Peyton's head, just letting you down.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
With Kevin's face, the paint Kevin's going through right now.
It feels like I'm talking to a dead man.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
A lot of football fans were caught in the middle
and watched the Super Bowl without rooting for either team.
If you were literally in physically halfway between Seattle and Foxboro, Massachusetts,
you'd be in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Oh well, shout out Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I didn't have a team. I just had a team
that I bet on. But I again, I mean I
lost enough to suck, but it was cool. I like
Sam Donald winning yeah, I mean sure. I did see
the list of all the quarterbacks that early on in
their career went to the Super Bowl and never made
it back. It's a bad list. Oh wow, maybe think
(06:56):
about you guys.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You think Drake May future Marina.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Marina was one.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He was also the youngest quarterback ever to go to
a Super Bowl, which they showed a couple times. Yeah,
and Drake May was second.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I was surprised to see that Sam Darnold was the
first USC quarterback to start a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I bet you're right.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I didn't see they said at the very beginning of
the game, and I was like, really, like USC quarterbacks,
Carson Palmer, Matt Lioner, Mark Sanchez, there're the ones I
can think of.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Matt Castle, Matt Castle.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of like back in the
day even but no.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, oh that's true too.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Obviously he hasn't made a Super Bowl, but that's true.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, anyway, dude, sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah, all good. I hope, uh, I don't know. I
hope we get some more O line help for sure.
And I also hope Drake I hope this doesn't like
stick with him. For a while.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know what sucked was will Well, Yeah, it was bad,
and they were just harping on it and showing close
ups of him getting dominant on the offensive line.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I know, And I've seen multiple today where it's like
fourteen pressures allowed, the most in Super Bowl history.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I'm like, oh God, so was he not healthy or
is he just not good yet? He?
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Yeah, I mean he had his upiso and downs this year.
Like obviously I watched every game, and it's not like
our old line was anything great all year. They just
had ways of kind of getting around it, I guess,
and they got exposed. I mean four guys collins Worth
to talking about it, but four guys got to him
with ease. It was tough.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Were you hoping Drake would run the ball a little more?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, we were saying the whole time. I was like,
get him out of the pocket or some roll him out,
because he did not look comfortable as soon as they
got to him a little bit. He was all over
the place, even when he had time.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Cardi B had a one point five million dollars Super
Bowl weekend. So and also they broke up Cardi B
in what do you mean she spent that much money. Yeah,
they did, dude. Apparently he was sneaking in an next
girlfriend into their hotel room.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Oh it's so fun.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, he was dealing with the grief.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
They unfollowed each other on socials too. Just had a baby,
but he had four babies last year with forty women.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
We're talking like we know or care?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Did you see Craft up there with her on the
stage of the video of that? Like Saturday or Friday night?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Was Cardi b secure to VP Suite to watch the
Fon Diggs play for the New England Patriots of Super
Bowl sixty. She tried to rent two suites for her
one hundred guests. Unfortunately, she had to split the group
half set in the stands while forty get the box.
So the breakdown of her one point five million dollar weekend.
Seven hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for tickets for
one hundred friends and family, wow, two hundred and fifty
(09:22):
thousand dollars, four private jets to San Francisco for her guests.
At that point, I'm like, I'll get joked up. You
get yourself out there.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, I gotta taking one plane with me in it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm getting your ticket, one.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, a private suite for
forty at the Super Bowl, two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars and Dom and Hennessy and one hundred and thirty
three thousand dollars hotel suite and party room. That's from
the Sun with Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
They had a party room, but that's Almo.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I guess yeah, that's almost the cheapest thing on the
List's insane.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I did spot her in the Bad Money concert. She
was in there, was out there right with Pedro Pascal
and Jessica Alba.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Jessica was the only one I saw.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I saw Alex Alexi. What's your name, Mike, Alex Earl, Yeah, Alex,
thank you.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
With Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
No, no, she was out there dancing, oh the same.
I did see her with Tom Brady dancing at whatever.
Tom Brady's just turning into a cheese ball, dude. Yeah,
he's just turning into a cheese There's a reason Michael
Jordan is still cool to us because he's not out
on social media all the time with influencers and.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Hey, I'm with you. I agree. I the less I
see him now, the happier I am.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Because he was like the coolest, because we didn't because
nothing could take him down because he was We only
knew him as a winner. Now he's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I know, we walked by one of his card stores.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Multiple losses for the Patriots this weekend.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, I mean yeah, overall with the whole Hall of
Fame and then Brady saying that and all that, Brady
being yeah, I didn't really find that a big deal though.
Oh no, sorry, you're talking about him saying like, oh,
I don't have a dog in the fight or no.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
No, I think the big losses him with dancing at
a club with Alex Oh yeah, just being all the parties, Like,
I get it, but man, the reputation's being tarnished. Yeah, yeah,
I didn't care about the other stuff. I understand why
he said that he owns it was part under the
Raiders and they they're hiring the offensive coordinator from Seattle. Yeah,
and then the Patriots. Obviously. I still think he should
(11:20):
have said the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh, he won Super Bowls with the Patriots, that's his team.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
I know.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think if Joe Montana said, well, no, because he
was only well he was a chief, I guess for
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
For a second, just for a little just for a second.
He looks he's he is old, but he's looking small
and old.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's why kids said, they're like, that's Joe Montana.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
My wife said, he's a little guy. Huh, I said, no,
he's just old now it used to be tall. I
guess we start hunching over when we get older.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, they say that our ears and our noses don't
stop growing. Then you hunch over.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
A terrible game. Hey, what happened? Because I saw that
the falcons?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Who is it Pierce?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, James Pearce.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
So what he was being chased or he was chasing somebody.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
In a car? Yeah, he was his ex girlfriend w
NBA player Ricky Jackson. Yeah, big on the WNBA scene
except for Kate Clark. And yeah, he was chasing her.
He was stalking her and then he rammed his I
think it was like a Ferrari or something or Lamborghini
into her car multiple times so she couldn't go to
the police station. And then police ended up showing up,
(12:21):
and then he ran from the cops and then hit
a cop with his car and then.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Physically the human cop.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Yeah, he hit like his knee it said, yeah, so,
and then he got arrested. There's a video of him
fighting like seven cops and it's just like no one.
Everyone's like, no one's got a ten and a half sacks. Yeah,
not good.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah he's out next year.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Yeah, not good. And he dropped in the draft because
of character stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You played Tennessee, Yeah, uh yeah, he's done. And the
Falcons were pretty good. Yeah, they got pretty good last year.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
They had him and the Georgia d Lineman. Both of
them did really good rookie years. And that's not not good. Man.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Eddie's kids had basketball practice on Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Practice leave that craw We.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Were talking about this in San Francsco. Did they go?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Dad had to pull the car and be like, they're
not going.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
What time was it at?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It was from four to five thirty? Oh, shut the
game starts at five thirty, like and this on the
other side of town. We'd missed the first quarter. Like
it's the dumbest thing ever and it's basketball, and you know,
like it's sixth grade basketball. And so I said, no,
you're not going to practice.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Could you have let him go like four to five
and then get back and.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
To pool them out early. That's so obvious.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Are you cleared that they would have practice leading right
up to game time.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
With the Super Bowl?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Like maybe, like I don't know, one o'clock, let church happen.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, and one of my boys did, he had an
early one like noon did two or something?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Perfect?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Did you great?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Would your kid upset that in miss practice?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, I didn't care. He didn't care. But I just
thought that was like, just what do you call it?
Tone deaf? You know, it's other circumstances, but to me,
that's own death.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
When you went to San Francisco. We're gonna play some
of these interviews we have on bo Jackson coming up
in a second. But you guys got put together in
the same room. Get two beads in the room, Kevin, Yeah,
so how to go?
Speaker 6 (14:13):
It was good overall?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
What do you I mean?
Speaker 6 (14:15):
The second night was a little rough for for me personally?
Why because I didn't know Eddie was such a big snorer.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Actually I'm a snorer.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Did you notice the second night I slept with like
white noise on my phone.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I noticed you had the white noise. He busts out
this little all night and I'm like what is that,
because what's the difference we're doing.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's relaxing at least that's constant. It's a line you're snoring,
is like, do you.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Know I snored?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Of course. No one has ever told me that I'm
a snore.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Right, No one know what.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
My wife did tell me though, She was like, hey,
have you did Kevin? Like you tell Kevin and that
you fart all the time in your sleep, and like,
I don't fart all the time?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Yeah, you do that too, You definitely do that. Honestly,
I thought it was just because the first spot we
ate the first night wasn't the best food and it
didn't make my stomach feel great either.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
So I was like, I'll give him this pass, but
is that farting all night?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (15:17):
There's at least three or four dude.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
My wife said, like you fart all the time. I'm like, no,
I don't, like you need to apologize in advance to Kevin.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Because you had air coming out of every hole.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You know what though? The farting if it was that
first night, dude, I was coming off of fast and
then we went the only food we can find was
pizza and wing.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, and it wasn't good, So I think.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
That's kind of what did that. But I apologize Kevin.
My wife told me to apologize to you, oh for farting.
What about the snoring, Well, now, I guess I had
no idea about the snoring, so I apologize for that too.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
My brother and dad are bad snores, too, so I
guess I'm kind of used to it. But yeah, I was.
You woke me up, I think three times a second night.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Let me tell you something Kevin does too.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
He does like a little one night stand action in
the morning where I wake up and he's just gone
for like hours. Like every morning I wake up and
be like Kevin to sleep, Kevin, Kevin not there.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It's because I'm downstairs working grabbing coffee and I don't
want to be loud while working. Two hours dude.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, I would text the room. I'd be like, hey,
what are you guys doing? It is like Kevin's still working.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, he's working all night.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Yeah, it was a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I had to tell Kevin one of the nights to
be like, hey, dude, we're all going to have dinner,
Like let's take a break at six thirty.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So we got working. Yeah, he's like because he got
two shows to do over. Yeah, there was definitely a
difference Missy Mike.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Why Mike's all was working well?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
No, like usually handles like a lot of whistle stuff
and I can focus on the lost day. But then
I did both of them. But yeah, all good. The
dinner was good second night.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And then me, Kevin and Brandon would have breakfast in
the morning. It was kind of it was like dad hour,
you know, where we would just talk about parenting and
they're eating our eggs and everything. Every single day. It
was kind of fun, like we would just have a
little dad like pow, wow, what was I You were
at another hotel?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Oh, got it, got it? Yeah, I was taking another hotel.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I learned a lot about Brandon this weekend too.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
You always learn it ans like we don't know Brandon,
so yeah, Brandon, he just.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Keeps dropping stuff like nonchalant. I'll have this YouTube channel
thing too, like what like little kids stuff. Yeah, yeah,
Brandon crushes it music by the way, kids, that's a
good point.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
We're going to go over to our conversation now with
bo Jackson, one of the greatest athletes of all time.
But when the Heisman in eighty five when he played
at Auburn NFL Pro Bowl in ninety MLB All Star Game,
he won MVP and eighty nine. Here he is Bo Jackson.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
All right here with Bo Jackson.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When you were at Auburn, timing was different than But
what do you think you ran the forty?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
I ran the forty electronically four point one second, four
point four point one three seconds.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
And how hi?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
No way out, yes way, But I'm just saying that's unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I was on my way to track practice, and back
then we didn't have these combines like they got down
that looked like this room that was just somebody from
the NFL, somebody from I guess Combine office. And all
the players came from Tuscaloosha, North Alabama, South Alabama, Georgia
came into Auburn run the forty, then they left. I
(18:23):
was on my way to track practice to chase the
nineteen seventy six Olympic gold medals in one hundred yard dash.
Who was an Auburn graandit Harvey Glands. My track coach
told me both, if you ever catch or beat Harvey
in a race in track practice, you don't have to practice.
(18:43):
I never caught him, and he was thirteen fourteen years
older than me. He was in his mid thirties and
I was twenty one. And I never caught him because
he was like a McLaren sports car and I was
an eighteen wheeler and I couldn't catch you. So I
had to run the forty. The first time I ran
(19:05):
the forty, I ran four to two six. But I
let up there because from the finish line to the
back of the dome and our place was about ten
fifteen yards and I couldn't stop any time. So let's
say at thirty five yards, I just eased up and
cruised through at four two six, and everybody's like, but
he eased up, he didn't run through. And this was
(19:27):
a time of stopwatches, but the electronic time where you
have to put your hand on the tape and come
off and break the laser was four two six. Coach
comes to get on me. Got it? Please run the forty,
try and get these I don't ever want them calling
me again because they're blowing my phone up all times
a night, early in the morning wondering if you please,
(19:47):
He said, for the love of God, do it for me, please,
I said, all right, get back now. I said, you
need to open that back door because I'm like gonna
tear up my hamstrings in that door. It hadn't been opened,
so I've been at Auburn. They opened that back door,
moved all the crap and opened the back door so
I can keep going cause the track practice was right
(20:07):
behind the door, went back down and got back down,
and I took off, ran, threw the laser and kept
going because I told my teammate, get my bag and
we're just gonna go. And I never came back to
see So when I was on my way back, no,
some of the guys came up to the track practice
because I'm trying to catch Harvey Glance, which I never did,
(20:29):
and they said, do you know what I had you
at hand time? I said no. They said I had
you at a three nine four. Another guy My hand
time was three nine five. Another guy said I had
you at three to three. And then the guy that's
running the electronic timer, he said, they're all wrong. I
(20:49):
got you at a four one three electronic that's crazy
at two twenty two.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
But you got into the podcasting world yourself.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Huh, Like just starting wellness meant health physical health. It's
a wellness podcast, right, men's health men, all men's like,
all doubt, all men's health. What are you guys talking
about over there?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I'll tell you exactly what we're talking about. Let me
ask you a question. This is for both day. How
many times have you sit down with your buddies and
sat down and said, man, but you know something, I
had a crappy night's sleep because I woke up four
or five times to go the bath. We'll take a week.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
All this.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Man, I can't play golf next week because they got
to go bit of coldon I speak, because salt some
blood and they still a couple of weeks ago. So
I got to get this thick together. We don't talk
about that. It is taboo for men to talk about that.
Now women, they'll go on National TV. They have groups
where they meet at lunch, glass of wine, dip. They
(21:49):
talk about mastectomies, cervical cancer, incontinence, they talk about everything
we men talk about. Ed Oh hell.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
No, you're right. No, it's embarrassing. It feels embarrassed.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What every channel you turn on the TV, your iPad,
there's an ed AD. Now we can sit there and
read about it. Think about it up here, but we
don't talk about it amongst men. I want to peel
the layers off of that onion to make it comfortable
for us to talk, because knowledge is power. I'm a
(22:24):
cancer survivor as of three weeks ago, I have my
prostate taken out in October, had two cancer spots on it,
something that I probably could easily treat it. Treat it.
But one thing I do know, cancer and mother nature
is undefeated. They don't like to lose. They never lose.
(22:45):
The only thing that you're gonna do with cancer, like
in my situation, was to cut it out. First thing
you think of when you said, oh you gotta take
your process out. Oh there go. My ed problem has
got one hundred times work. I'm not gonna be able
to get laid no more. That's BS. That's BS. And
(23:07):
the reason I'm saying this is because I'm gonna take
this platform to make it comfortable for guys to go
to the doctor to get a PSA test, to go
get their colonnases, and don't be afraid of what the
doctor's going to tell them. Because a lot of guys
don't go to the doctor because they don't want to know,
and it goes back to knowledge is power. Use my
(23:29):
platform to come to your city. I know I will
be a natural because I got too many buddies, men
seminar on sit up at a sit up at an auditorium.
Get some of my friends to help host it. Get
their doctors, the professionals who know the answer to every
question that the audience got there. Ask have the audience
(23:53):
that's going to be there all men. We're going to
ask you to donate from anywhere from one to ten
bucks to come in and sit down and talk, and
those funds will stay in Nashville for guys who don't
have insurance like us, or can't afford to go get
a PSA test period. Try to help guys to gain
(24:15):
knowledge on their health instead of sitting up saying, oh,
I don't know if I got something, but this is
happening and it's getting worse and worse. I don't want
to go to the doctor cause I don't want to
find out what it is. Women talk about their issues
all day every day. We never do that. I want
to peel the layers off of that on you to
(24:37):
make it easy for God to do that. Because I
have two grandsons, and they're the best gift God has
ever given me. And I want to be around to
watch them play Little League baseball, watch them ride their
first dirt bike, watch them dive off the diving board
for the first time. That's what I live for now.
And by me using my platform to spread them message
(25:00):
it's okay to talk about your issues. I hope to
put some sunshine in somebody's cloud to make their life
a whole ideas because we need to open up and talk.
Stop this thinking that if I talk about this it
makes me less of a man. All my buddies are
(25:21):
gonna look at me like I got chink in my armor.
That doesn't matter. I don't care if I got a
chink in my armor as long as I'm around to
tell somebody, hell, I got chink in my armor. I'm
tired of burying my friends, going to friends funerals that
I went to high school with, college with, played against,
played with. And this is on a monthly basis and
(25:43):
the majority of it is because of cancer. Got to
do something about it. Buried a brother in law two
and a half. Three weeks ago, he had project cancer.
Decided to get Radiant five six years later, came back
and then a two year period it went from his prostate, bone, liver,
(26:06):
long then brains. He's he's gone. I got mine, taking
out and have it. Look back the habit, miss the
struggles and the one thing that you think, oh, that
goes my sex life, that's bull. That's bull. Don't be
selfish and do that to your family. Don't do that
(26:26):
to your kids. You should want to be around and
raise your kids, and you can't do it if you're
fighting the big sea.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Of course, it's men's health, right, bo knows men's health. Yes,
that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Why would you start, like, why would you start doing
a podcast?
Speaker 9 (26:42):
Because?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Is it because there's a consistency to it, Because you
can constantly get the message out.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
I can constantly get the message out. And I'm speaking
from experience when I was twenty years old at Auburn,
in the prime of my life, thinking that I'm untouchable,
I'm superman. You get in my way and you're gonna
get shruck, no doubt about it. I can do anything
I want as far as sports. Wake up when morning
(27:09):
and go to the bathroom. There's blood in my store.
I have my first colon be at twenty or twenty one.
Since then, I bet I've had about fifteen to twenty
now that I'm sixty. I get it every three years.
I don't let a doctor tell me, hey, I'll see
you in ten years. Hell in ten years, but I
could grow a grape fruit inside inside of me. So
(27:30):
I go back every time. I just had it last month.
So I'm trying to stay up on my health, and
I want other guys to do the same thing, because
don't be selfish and cheat your family out of that.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I really appreciate the time both.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Thank you very much, guys.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Thank you man podcast. You'll be get out of it
what you're aiming to get out of it. I think
you've change a lot of lives.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
That's what I look to do. That's what thank you
for having me, sir. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I'm gonna go now to our talk with current Egos
linebacker Nikobe Dean. Nikobe won the Buckets Award in twenty
twenty one while playing for Georgia, which is given to
the nation's best linebacker. He won a national championship that
with the Bulldogs in the Super Bowl last year with
the Eagles. So thanks to NA Kobe for talking with
us here. He is Eagle Ni Kobe Dean n Koby.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Appreciate the time.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Man, definitely appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Something I'm always interested in is going from warm weather
to cold weather because at Georgia, uh huh it's pretty warm, yeah,
kind and Philly it's pretty cold like that.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
It doesn't seem as fun.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
In the cold.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Uh, what you're talking about football?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, no, football and the cold is funny.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
That means you made it late in the season and
it's probably around playoff time. So it is at least
at least in Georgia down south because it get cold
a little later.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Uh, it was a privilege to play in the cold.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
That means you you made it to the playoffs and
you uh like growing up it was like Mississippi, you
played in the code.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
That me you're playing late. So it's cool.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
I mean it's football, so when you it is your profession.
So when you're playing in the cold, no matter, you
don't even feel it.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
What was the change like with Philly fans?
Speaker 10 (29:14):
Oh, I mean you got a fan base who probably
the most passionate fan base.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Uh there is uh, and they'll let you know. I mean,
I remember my rookie year.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
I think I was out shooting pools or something and
I had a guy come.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Up to me, you know, he said, what's up, and
he was like, yeah, you know we real.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Passionate fans, like, uh, we'll take a bullet for you,
but we'll put.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You in front of one just as fast.
Speaker 10 (29:39):
I was like, okay, see what type of you See
what type of people we got here?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But it's all good. Though, it was all good. They
passed it.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
They uh, they want they want to win, and yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
I mean fans are pretty passionate.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Yeah, But I was at Georgia like, we ain't never
had no problem. Well you won all the time exactly exactly.
I'm we didn't take care of all that. So I
never really had no problem from our own fans. Never
if we was like I think my second year when
we when we during COVID year, we ain't.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
We ain't have the best type of year.
Speaker 10 (30:14):
But even then and then, like it was, no, I
don't remember ever see receiving any negative feedback from our
fans at all.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Why I'm a Cowboys fan, man, and I we disliked
the Eagles, but how much do you dislike the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh? Man?
Speaker 10 (30:33):
I don't necessarily dislike no uh, no specific team, but
I mean, growing up, my mother disliked the Cowboys bad.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
And it wasn't even because of the Cowboys.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
It was because of the Cowboys fans that had lived
around us. This literally was the only reason she was
calling the Five Star Chicks. Oh yeah, talking about the fans. Yeah,
So it had nothing to do with the actual team,
was all. It had everything to do with the fans.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Before you go out, do you like to be completely
amped up or do you like to be as calm
as possible so you can think.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
Clearly it's a build up. For me, it's a build up.
It's like, uh, it's kind of like it goes a
little bout a little and by the time I'm running out,
then it's I'm amped. Like I'm amp I don't I
don't be amped in the locker room, but like, as
soon as I'm running out of the tunnel, then I'm
I'm at the peak.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I'm way aamped up.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You just met Bo Jackson, Yeah, what was that?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Like? It was cool? It was cool man.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
You talk about you see you've seen all the documentaries
and everything about Bow and Bo knows all that you
see all that, and it's like you see a lot
of like I just seen like Bears, Santa's and MS
Smith walking around just never seeing those guys you're talking
about some great in the game. So it's definitely cool
to be out here seeing them.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Both said he ran a four one.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
That's what he said.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
That's what he said.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Well, he said they handheld him faster than that, but
he got a war one nine at Auburn.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Okay, at two twenty.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
Or two twenty, Okay, I mean, what do you think
I would have said the same thing if they didn't
and they didn't have recognition.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
He might be he might be telling the truth though
I was at the same thing.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
What is your fastest report the time?
Speaker 10 (32:19):
It's yeah, that's official, like a like a four or
five hand. And that was like in high school. I
haven't ran the forty cent. You didn't run it all Like, no,
in the cup I got, I got, I had tweaked
my pick, I couldn't uh and I at the time
I had just around the time it was to run
(32:41):
the forty I just wasn't healed yet. By the time
draft got here, I was here, but everybody thought I
was still hurt.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But it's all good.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Also, if there's a way that your time could hurt
you but not help you, like why do it?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Yeah, like it.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Wasn't you weren't gonna do anything to help. Everybody knew
where you were going to fall in the draft, like
you were that dude. But you go in and you
run a little slower, maybe they start going maybe maybe
he's not that dude.
Speaker 10 (33:06):
Well, my draft process was a little weird, just because
the week the week of the draft, it was everybody
thought they were saying I was heard and this that
and the third and I'm like, i don't know what
everybody was talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I'm injury prone.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
I haven't missed the game in college, I haven't missed
the practice, but I'm injured prone because I tweaked my
pick while I'm training for the draft.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Anyway, you think that was to get you to fall?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
You think they were playing that stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I'm not going to say that, but I did.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
I mean, I feel alway the eight third pick, but
I fell to the right team. Uh No, super Bowl later,
super Bowl champion later.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'm good. I'm not playing in it, and we up
for a country this year, So I'm blessed.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
What is this week like and how is it different
than a regular season because you got two weeks. But
you try to not get too a too early in
the process, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
I mean, well you got to you're playing football. Is
like you kind of know that you're playing the football,
but you not really. I guess my first the first year,
I didn't even play.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
In the one last year because I had heard my knee.
Speaker 10 (34:10):
Because but the first year, I mean, I feel like
the once we won the NFC Championship, it's like you
amped up for like a couple of days, empt up
for a couple of days. I think I was more
amped up because we got the bye week, the age
of by week to relax and not relaxed. We were
still praxing, but to not play a game.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I think I was more amped.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Up about that, uh, because I got to go watch
the the my board always winning another national championship against
TCU back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
That's an ugly game for tc year.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
Yeah that's quick, that's quick.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
That yeah twenty three, But yeah it was, so I
think I was more amped up about that.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Then by the time you get to the game and everything,
you you.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
Kind of kind of able to live it out your
emotions and just play football.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Tell me about kind Hearts for Life.
Speaker 10 (34:58):
Oh, this is my foundation that me my mother started,
we started, you know, she kind of set the foundation
of my giving back and and giving back to the
community and just just being out there and trying to
spread positively and light to everywhere.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Our motto is reaching for.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
The hand of touching the heart, and we feel like
we truly, truly try to do that with starting with
the youth. That's kind of our main folks, trying to
give back to the youth.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
And if we have.
Speaker 10 (35:28):
An event it can be a thousand kids. Then if
I'm able to touch one kid and just put a
sense of confidence and belief that they can do whatever
they want to do in life, then I feel like
I've done.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
No.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
How do people find out more about your foundation?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
You can go uh, you go on line?
Speaker 10 (35:46):
Yeah, you go on social media Instagram at kind of
Hearts for Life Life Speed with l YLFU in the
four number four, or you can go kindhardst Forlife dot com.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Awesome. I really appreciate the time. Definitely, Yeah, thank you
very much.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Today We're gonna go over now and talk with five
time gold medalist swimmert Ryan Murphy. Ryan's won nine Olympic
medals all time for Team USA even brought one to
the interview, which we talk about. We also got into
the discussion about swimming from Alcatraz. Here is Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Hey Ryan, good to see you man.
Speaker 11 (36:18):
Yeah, great to see you too.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Where do you live? What do you train?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
So?
Speaker 12 (36:21):
I'm trained to have cal so I live live in
the area. So I'm in a city called Rinda.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Where'd you grow up?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
Grew up?
Speaker 4 (36:27):
So?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
I was born in.
Speaker 12 (36:28):
Chicago, grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. Basically came out here
for school and then swimming. There's no pro draft or anything,
so most people end up training with their with their
college coach.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
So you just stayed stay feel like home?
Speaker 12 (36:40):
Yeah yeah, Now it's like, I mean, he's an interesting place,
Like so many of my friends from college have just
stayed here. So it's great. Like we have a really
really solid trend of group out here.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
What are the mornings, like, what do you start training?
Speaker 12 (36:53):
I mean, I wake up, I'm pretty much picking up
at five every day in basically three times a week,
I go straight to the weight room, start lifting.
Speaker 11 (37:02):
Do that for an hour and then go to the pool.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
And then the other days it's pretty much wake up
and go to the pool and just get get right in.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
I'm assuming you're doing full body right when you work out?
Speaker 12 (37:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, because I think we go in the
weight room like there's a level of like we're trying
to maximize explosiveness, there's a level of injury prevention and
so like swimming is so much like lats and back
and so like you kind of want to balance things out.
But yeah, it's full body, so anything like squats, I
mean squats, lunges, pull ups, bench Queen's core.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Is there a tapering situation with you before you race?
Speaker 11 (37:38):
Like, well, yeah, tapering's big sweet.
Speaker 12 (37:40):
Pretty much four weeks out from a meat we'll we'll
start to dial back the volume intense stays pretty high,
but the volume comes down probably by like seventy percent
when you get to the week of the of the race.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
This may be the dumbest question you've ever gotten, but
is there every time you get to the pool and
the water is way too cold?
Speaker 11 (38:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (38:01):
Like right now this morning, Yeah, like I jumped in
and it's like I let out, I let out an audible.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
Like it was so it was so cold and then
then it sucks.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
You just have to like you have to go fast
and warm up in order to to then not feel cold.
Uh So, yeah, that's a brutal part of the sport
for runners.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
If there's wind that can affect the race and if
it's an official time. Is there anything in swimming where
that would like the temperature of the water, like does
that actually make you swim faster, or if like the
little pomp is on at the bottom and it's actually
on while you're swimming, that's a bubble.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
Yeah, yeah, there's.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
I mean in the in the short races, it doesn't
make it as big of an impact.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
But sometimes there's a.
Speaker 12 (38:45):
Current in the pool and it typically like goes in
a circle, So if you're on the outside lanes, one
direction ends up being you know, pretty sizeable difference faster,
Like it ends up being like we're going probably half
a second faster going one way versus the other.
Speaker 11 (39:00):
Uh So, the current is probably the biggest.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Thing, And that's a real thing.
Speaker 11 (39:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (39:04):
They like when you get to the big meet, they're
supposed to turn that off for all the races, but
it's still somehow that it's still sometimes slips.
Speaker 11 (39:12):
Through the grounds.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Is there a lane that you want?
Speaker 12 (39:16):
I mean, to be honest, you probably want the outside lane.
Like if you're thinking about just like waves in.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
The pool, but you can't see as many people, then
right exactly.
Speaker 11 (39:23):
So that's like the that's the trade off. Like if
you're like, if.
Speaker 12 (39:27):
You don't need to see people to like kind of
drive you to that extra level of to push through
that extra level of pain, like, then you're finding the outside.
But if you need to see people, you want to
be right in the middle lane four or five?
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Do you need to see people?
Speaker 7 (39:42):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (39:42):
I like to.
Speaker 12 (39:43):
I like to yeah, because I think I mean, there's
so many different philosophies, Like so many coaches say, like
focus on your lane, focus on your race, Like yeah,
you want to do that. But like at the end
of the day, like I'm good because I'm super competitive
and so saying people helps me kind of get a
little bit more out of.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
My So when you're training, well they have like a rabbit,
a pool version of a rabbit that you chase, or
is a time that you can see or even like
a laser that you can actually see while you're going.
Speaker 12 (40:13):
I mean, it ends up being like no it ends
up being old school, just like you know, kind of
verbal motivation. Uh, in different you know, there's different styles
and tactics, so you can get that can be pretty
hardcore sometimes and other times you can just feel like hey,
like yeah, you like realistically, like if your best competition
in the world was doing this next to you, like
(40:35):
they they'd be going faster.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Like if there was like a la, a rabbit on
the bottom of the pool that you could see that
you knew was an exact time when you're swimming against that.
They don't have that technology. I think it just invented
something great. Yeah, yeah, throw it in the bottom of
the pool, a rabbit if you're trying to be this
time and that rabbit or that dolphin fish the dolphins
going a certain.
Speaker 11 (40:53):
You're done, You're done with this podcast, you're starting.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah, because you know when we watch the Olympics, like
you have the world record right in front you all
obviously don't see that, but for us, it's like he's
he's almost there.
Speaker 12 (41:06):
Yeah, you know, it's it's gnarly and like watching it back,
you're like, damn, I do wish I know I knew,
Like so it would be cool, it would be cool
to have that, you know, have that like right in
front of your face kind of when you're doing these
fast efforts, but not nothing there yet.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
How do you decide what stroke you're going to do
when you're young, when you're in those formidable twelve thirteen
year old years.
Speaker 12 (41:30):
So you kind of train for everything and then and
then at some point it just becomes clear what you're
better at. I'd say, like the only stroke where it's
very clear if that's your best stroke is breaststroke. So
basically like if your feet are kind of more of
like duck feet, like.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
They like just go out, like if you're born that way.
Speaker 12 (41:49):
Yeah, like some like you see some people walking by,
they just have like their feet are out. I mean oppositly,
I'm pigeon toed, And so for me, like that ended
up being better for backstroke, But I probably started leaning
into that as my best stroke when I was like
fifteen or sixteen.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
So Bobby and I talked about the guys that escaped Alcatraz. Yeah,
and Bobby is like, you know, I've gone by Alcatraz,
Like I feel like I could swim it. Do you
think you could swim it?
Speaker 11 (42:18):
Yeah, So I've done it.
Speaker 5 (42:18):
Before and how was it cold.
Speaker 11 (42:21):
I hated it.
Speaker 12 (42:22):
I actually hated that so much because I didn't go
like I just went. I went into brief like I
wasn't I wasn't wearing a body or a wet suit
or anything like that.
Speaker 11 (42:33):
And so like that water is like.
Speaker 12 (42:35):
Fifty and like you can't see, like if you put
your hand in the water, you could see maybe like
two ft in front of you.
Speaker 11 (42:42):
You're getting hit with these waves.
Speaker 12 (42:44):
And then it's like in some cases there's another there's
another race called the Tiberan mile.
Speaker 11 (42:50):
Tiberan is a shark.
Speaker 12 (42:52):
Yeah, And so then you're like start thinking about that,
and I'm like, no, it's it's not for me.
Speaker 11 (42:56):
So I did it once, and that's that's good.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
You think the guys made it, the listeners, I think so.
Speaker 12 (43:03):
I mean, it's like if you're I mean, if it's
literally like you're you're actually life or death in that scenario,
you're you can make that.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
That's what I felt too.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Although it is extremely cold and it's extremely that there's
a bunch of waves.
Speaker 5 (43:16):
But I felt like if it were like I might die,
I think I think I could probably make You could
do it.
Speaker 11 (43:21):
You could do it.
Speaker 5 (43:22):
You have a medal with you.
Speaker 11 (43:23):
I do, I do. It's been just been sitting in my.
Speaker 5 (43:26):
Pocket everywhere you go.
Speaker 11 (43:27):
So it's just got nice. We got a nice warm
metal here.
Speaker 5 (43:30):
Wow, So tell me about this metal all right?
Speaker 12 (43:33):
So after I'm the that was from the Paris Olympics.
This is yeah, So that one was so that was
a mixed medley relay. So basically in that one, it
was a it was a race between US in China,
uh and basically mixed medley. Really you go two males
and two females to do whatever order you want, and
so China and the US ended up we did the
(43:55):
same exact strategy. So we went two males, so we
would I let off baxxtro, another male go breaststroke, and
then we'd female fly and then female free and it
was pretty much as a dog fight the whole way through,
like we were within a tenth of a second the
whole way. We end up winning the winning the race
by I think point oh five.
Speaker 11 (44:17):
We broke the world record.
Speaker 12 (44:18):
And then what I learned after the Games, we ended
up beating China in the gold medal count by one medal.
So this was a this was a super important race
to for the US to get it done.
Speaker 11 (44:30):
So it was an awesome atmosphere. We were, I mean
we were. We celebrated hard after that one. That was
it was it was really really fun.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Well, how are you feeling going in? How's your training
right now?
Speaker 11 (44:39):
It's good.
Speaker 12 (44:39):
I mean, I'm I'm honestly in a mode where like
I took I took time off after Paris, so I'm
I'm really just ramping up now. So I'm I mean,
I'm taking my licks. I'm kind of getting my butt
handed to me in practice. But it's it's it's good.
I'm I'm building up the fitness. I'm excited. La is
gonna be unbelievable. So I so I feel good, like
I think I'm gonna be in a good spot. Even
the progress in this yeah, in this past month has
(45:01):
been has been really significant.
Speaker 11 (45:04):
So I think it's coming back pretty quick.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
I really appreciate your time. Good luck, Thanks for bringing
the metal.
Speaker 5 (45:08):
That's awesome, cool, got it?
Speaker 11 (45:09):
You got it?
Speaker 5 (45:10):
Yeah, thanks for hanging out with us today. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
And now our talk with Rams defensive back Quentin Lake.
Quinton was a sixth round pick by the Rams out
of UCLA. Just got a new contract extension last month,
So congrats to him. Thanks to Quentin from jumping on
with us here he is Quentin Lake. Hey, Quentin, good
to see you, man, Good to see you. How much
of a relief is it when you get a contract extension, Like, well,
how does that feel emotionally?
Speaker 8 (45:34):
Emotionally? It feels great.
Speaker 9 (45:35):
Personally For me, it felt even better because I was
at home, you know, like I'm from California, and really,
for such a great organization to be like, hey, we
want you to be a part of the future, that's
one of the best feelings ever, you know, to be
able to have not only the security on the team,
but to understand like they bought into you.
Speaker 8 (45:54):
That means so much.
Speaker 9 (45:55):
And I'm I'm really blessed and really thankful that they're like, hey,
you know, we cherish you value and we want to
see you here for the next three years.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I've been through some pretty significant contract negotiations and the
whole time they're negotiating front of add like I don't
really know. I'm trying to do focus, but I kind
of know, and like I'm having small conversations.
Speaker 5 (46:12):
Is that to you? Does that wear you down at all?
Or you just let them do their thing while it's happening.
Speaker 8 (46:16):
I mean, that's the reason why you have an agent,
you know, that's the reason.
Speaker 5 (46:18):
I have an age of two.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
But I'm like, I need to know every day well
I know.
Speaker 5 (46:21):
I know.
Speaker 8 (46:22):
That's why for me.
Speaker 9 (46:23):
It's like a lot of athletes can kind of get
in trouble if you think about it too much. But
if you never want to let that side of it
affect your play. And I always told myself, if I
take care of what I need to in between the
white lines, everything will take care of itself.
Speaker 8 (46:35):
These processes arelong.
Speaker 9 (46:36):
Mine was eight months, you know, of constantly talking making sure,
hey we're always in good communication. But at the same time,
I was like, hey, I'm gonna let you handle it.
You know, I'm going to go out there and put
my best work that I can and everything will fall
in place. There's a saying if they want to, they would,
and that's exactly what it is. If they want to
do contracts and stuff like that, they're going to make
(46:57):
it happen.
Speaker 8 (46:57):
And at the end of the day, that's exactly what
happened with me.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
In about when you.
Speaker 5 (47:00):
Get drafted to stay home like you'r UCLA.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Did you think that was going to be the case
with the conversations that, hey, if you're there, we're gonna
take you.
Speaker 9 (47:08):
Oh no, not at all. I had So the Rams
did it a little bit differently. They just sent me
a questionnaire and that was it. It was like one
hundred question questionnaire to see like different attributes, different values,
what are your you know, what are things that you
like and stuff like that. I honestly thought it was
gonna be either the Patriots, Raiders or Dolphins. The Raiders
dB coach called me and he was like, hey, if
(47:28):
we have you at blah blah blah round and this number,
we're gonna come get you. And you hear this story
a ton of times. Okay, it's round six, pick one,
thirty two, it comes up. They say, this is exactly
where are they gonna get you? Another name pops up.
You're like, man, like, what's up with that? Like that's
that's crazy to me, you know. But at the same time,
(47:49):
when my name did pop up round six to eleven
and it was their Los Angeles Rams, I was like, man,
what a blessing. I'm around my family, I'm around my friends,
I'm in a familiar environment. I don't have to fly
anywhere to go to the facility. I'll just drive up
in my twenty seventeen Toyota Corolla and get my you know,
pj's and my clothes and all that stuff too.
Speaker 8 (48:08):
So it was a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
What about your pops, Like, how did he prepare you
for the league?
Speaker 7 (48:14):
Man?
Speaker 9 (48:14):
He's, uh, We've we've been talking about it for a
long time. There's this acronym that we use, it's called
eight and we always say, you want to go, you
want to go eight and APE stands for your attitude,
your preparation, or your effort. Those are three things that
you can control on a day to day basis. And
he says, as long as you do that, no matter what,
you know, you'll probably be successful. And on top of
(48:35):
that is he says, you don't want anybody to outwork you.
You don't want anybody to out hustle you, and you
don't want anybody to outprepare you, and the cream will
always rise to the top. And I've been he's been
telling me that, you know, drilling that into my brain
ever since. Really he understood that, you know, I can
make it to the NFL because when I was young,
he was like, I'm just gonna take a step back.
(48:57):
I'm not going to coach you. I'm gonna let you
figure it out on your own. And then when he
saw like, oh man, he might actually make it. He
might get drafted, he might you know, he got a chance.
That's when he was fully invested. And that's when we've
been talking about it. And football is all love language.
Now we talk about it all the time. We go
over games. If a guy, if I go home, I'll
bring my iPad and we'll go over a whole game
and he'll get me all the tidbits that he knows
(49:17):
from him being in the NFL so long.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Matthew Stafford won the MVP last night. What's he like
in the locker room?
Speaker 9 (49:22):
One of the best human beings I've ever been around.
The thing about him is not only is he a
great leader, great player, great person, but you just want
to model the way for him. He's such a great father,
and I think that plays into who he is in
terms of his character. There was a viral clip a
couple of days ago, a couple of weeks ago about
(49:43):
him tucking his daughters after we lost you know after
we lost an NFC championship, and that goes to show
that you want to be around guys like that, not
only guys that are great players, great friends and great
acquaintances with great fathers too.
Speaker 8 (49:55):
He I mean we talk about all the time.
Speaker 9 (49:57):
One of our sayings is modeled the way, and he
models the way as a round for sure.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
Man, I always loved since I was a kid the
Rams helmet. Like to me in the league, that Rams
helmet with the morning is like, take yourself out of
the Rams. What's your favorite helmet, even from when you
were little.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Man.
Speaker 9 (50:15):
I think I'm a little bit biased, but those yellow
Pittsburgh and the yellow Pittsburgh with the black those like
when I was playing Madden, and obviously I was born
in Pittsburgh, Dad played and all that stuff too, But
those are like the holy grail for me.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
That's very biased, but you can still Yeah, it's not
a little bias's that's very biased, but I love those helmets.
Speaker 8 (50:34):
And then I also say this, the Buccaneers cream pol Yeah,
those are sweet. Those are sweet.
Speaker 9 (50:39):
So and then last one, not least like our midnight
jerseys that we had as Rams, like I had to
buy that I had to buy that helmet because I
was like, I got to keep this thing forever.
Speaker 5 (50:48):
If you give your jersey to another guy, do you
got to pay for the jersey?
Speaker 9 (50:51):
It's like five it's like five hundred dollars, No way,
you have to pay for it. So yeah, I had
to pay like twelve hundred dollars for mine for all
my jersey and you can buy more and you yeah,
you have to buy all your stuff.
Speaker 6 (51:02):
Like you come on, you like, nothing's free.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
Nothing is free.
Speaker 6 (51:05):
They're not gonna be like, hey, we're gonna give you this.
Speaker 5 (51:07):
What about the new deal? Like I need ten year.
Speaker 9 (51:10):
Yeah, you could do ten jerseys, but it'd probably be
a couple thousand, or.
Speaker 5 (51:14):
You could get the money instead.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
But isn't that surprising though, that like the first one's
not free and if you lose that, you pay for
the replacement like a credit card.
Speaker 6 (51:22):
It'd be yeah, that's true.
Speaker 9 (51:23):
But they say like, hey, you know, sometimes especially during
the preseason, like hey, no jersey swaps, you know, because
we got to get through all these joy preseason, they'll
be like, hey, no jersey swaps this time, unless it's
like a special occasion you played with them in college
or best friend or.
Speaker 8 (51:39):
Something like that. But other than that, you gotta pay
for them.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
I appreciate the time. Congratulations on the extension, looking forward
to big things from you.
Speaker 5 (51:45):
Guys next year.
Speaker 8 (51:45):
Said thank you so much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (51:47):
All Right, that's gonna do it for us today.
Speaker 5 (51:49):
Everybody good.
Speaker 6 (51:50):
Yeah, Yeah, I'm ready for the offseason.
Speaker 5 (51:52):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (51:52):
Now, we're done.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Done. Dude, it's so sad. Sundays are gonna feel so weird.
Saturdays are gonna feel weird.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
Yeah, Saturdays are kind of been clear though for the
most part.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
Yeah, already.
Speaker 6 (52:03):
I watched the first college basketball game that I've watched
so far as a duke. North Carolina won great game.
Speaker 5 (52:10):
Carolina was down pretty big at half.
Speaker 3 (52:12):
Yeah, and then they I was just watching on my
phone and they kept getting closer and I was like wow.
And then I didn't watch the end of it. And
then I see that that three pointer from the corner,
and I didn't know what year was from, and then
I'm like, oh my god, that's the game.
Speaker 6 (52:25):
It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
That was That play was planned out like done, It
was executed perfectly.
Speaker 6 (52:30):
Did you see Belichick's girlfriendar in the shirt?
Speaker 3 (52:34):
Did you see that Eddie referencing Robert Krafts.
Speaker 6 (52:37):
Yeah, that massage.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Parlor No way, what did it say?
Speaker 6 (52:40):
Whatever that I don't I couldn't read it. But whatever
that massage parlor company was or.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Whatever, Savage, that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (52:47):
At the North Carolina game.
Speaker 3 (52:48):
That felt weird when you said that.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
Why it is savage?
Speaker 6 (52:54):
Think it's cringey or oh he got a little too excited.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
He's like savage.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
Yeah, just kind of. It's like Papal trying new words.

Sorry, Kevin game, Sorry keV.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
Yeah, thanks guys. It was a It was a brutal
one to watch. And I'm a fan. I can't even
matter not being a fan of the teams.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That's a brutal one to watch.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That was hard.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, we had money on it too. We had our
team league in which, by the way, your bill comes
due maybe today.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh oh yeah, yeah, he's gonna send a text like
how's that?
Speaker 7 (00:41):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (00:41):
We go Venmo or just yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Can I write a check?
Speaker 7 (00:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Can I Can I pay in like quarterly?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No installments.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I missed every bet last night too, same like I
bet fifty hundred bucks on the Patriots to cover plus
four and a half, and then I jumped back in
for another five hundred when it was plus five and
a half when they and then it was just like
I'm stopping.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
What was the most points?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
You got five and a half?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I got eight? No, I stopped and I thought eight
would cover Itah.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Yeah, they showed no life. I mean, I guess a
little bit of life and then third early fourth, but
that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They really want that good of a team, right, the Patriots.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
No, man, that what I kept thinking. And I'm sorry, Kevin,
You're not gonn want to hear this easy to say
this now, but I know I just kept thinking, like, wow,
should have been the Broncos better defense. It's just just
what I was thinking.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
And our defense is really good. I know, our offense
is really bad.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It sucks. I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Yeah, that's all right. I mean, I'm happy we were
there for sure. Obviously we did not expect that at all,
so expectations were pretty, i don't know, not necessarily low
coming in, but like if we went great. The only
thing that the part that makes me sad and that
sucks is like there was no fight, like it's it's
to lose is one thing, but to like I think
I yelled one time outside of like yelling bad things,
(01:56):
but one good thing, and that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So that when they were not two scores before they
did that pick, I thought, okay, we might can make
this into something, yes, And mostly I thought maybe we
in cover.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, cover was what I was rooting for something.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Dude, I need a break, So I'm glad it's over.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah yeah, but you know what, March Maddis is just
around the corner.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, maybe it'd be better for me there. But I
had a bad twenty twenty five slash early twenty twenty
six for sure. It was one of my worst ever.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, it's pretty bad one for the books.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Kevin.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
At what point during the game did you think, like
is done?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Uh when they scored the touchdown and he was wide open.
I was after the fumble, I believe, and I was like,
I don't know, you've been.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Thinking the first half where they couldn't score it all,
Like I couldn't. They couldn't even get first downs. I
think they got two.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Maybe they kind of did this all playoffs, so where
it's like they didn't look great on offense, and then
the second half they looked a lot better. So I
was like, this is gonna take some time. Drake May
looks nervous. Josh McDaniels, I don't know what the heck
that game plan was, but it was just very basic
and boring. They didn't change anything up, So I was like, okay,
I'm just gonna give it till the second half and
as long as there's somewhat in it. They were down
nine to nothing, I felt good. I was like, I
(03:00):
can't believe we're only down nine. That game felt like
it was fifty to nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
At halftime. I still felt like he had a shot
because you're only down nine and a half exactly. So yeah,
the bad game.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Though.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
My wife was like this game sucks.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah, like I'm out.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
She only want to.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Watch half time show anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
She didn't watch the second half.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, she went and watched Tell Me Lies or something
on Netflix. D scare it that much anyway, but if
it had been close, she would have stayed. She was like, terrible,
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know, you know you're talking about UFC, like you
never watch UFC, but then you like the one you
watch is too bad as a bad fight two girls.
So my wife never watches full games, and she was
just like, I'm gonna watch this full game, guys. I'm
just like, why is this the game?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Did she stay with it?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
She did the game in her game and she was
like that's pretty bad.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
And there was no like, I mean, Kenneth Walker had
some good players. But outside of that, both sides it
was like there's no like big not fighting plays nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I was rooting for the kicker to win MVP.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Yeah that would have been cool.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I mean he was a punter.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
The Dixon had a great game too.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That punter was on.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But I think the kicker he kicked four or five
field goals. I forget what it ended at. It was
most in fild goal and cool history. Yeah, like, if
there ever was a kicker to win the MVP, he
scored fifteen points, he should have won MVP.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Do you guys ever vote for that stuff?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Have you ever voted for MVP?
Speaker 6 (04:12):
What do you mean where online?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah? They tell you during the game, like to vote
for the MVP.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Get Oh really yeah? Oh I didn't know. The other thing.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The Seahawks were a four and a half point favorite,
and they broke a streak of underdogs winning three straight
Super Bowls.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The Patriots wearing white jerseys and white pants, a combination
they had never worn the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah that stuff is. They look nice.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The Seahawks were winning nine zero at halftime, which means
the teams now zero to fifteen in Super Bowl history.
Whin scoreless at the half. The Seahawks only trailed for
one minute and thirty five seconds the entire postseason. That's
the fifth least amount of anytime trailing. But they only
trailed for barely over ninety seconds the whole Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I mean, they're obviously the much better team, but I
think just in general in the NFL, they were probably
the best team at least second half of the season.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Listen to this. The Seahawks are the first Super Bowl
champion to go their entire postseason without committing a turnover.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Oh wow, that's what Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
The Seahawks won eleven to zero across the entire season
when scoring first. Sam Donald became the first quarterback to
win a Super Bowl after playing for at least five
different teams.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He was with Minnesota last year, but again, obviously they
passed on bringing it back. I did like that story.
I think I said that if the Patriots didn't win,
my favorite story to root for was Us and Money.
My second favorite story was Sam Donald.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's pretty cool. Good for him, although he wasn't very
excited with his performance. I mean, he was kind of
just like.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He missed a few throws, But there was a point
where it was just up to him not to lose it.
It wasn't up to him to win it.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Yeah, and I think he knew that and they won it,
and I'm glad it wasn't there. I can tell you that.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Hey, I thought it was gonna be a blowout for
I really did. Like for. I was like, ma, this
is gonna be Crazy's gonna be the first blowout in
Super Bowl history.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You mean as the game started and Seattle just had
controlling Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
I remember the Seattle Denver one ten years ago. It
was forty three to eight. First play was the over
at Peyton's head, just letting you down.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
With Kevin's face, the paint Kevin's going through right now.
It feels like I'm talking to a dead man.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
A lot of football fans were caught in the middle
and watched the Super Bowl without rooting for either team.
If you were literally in physically halfway between Seattle and Foxboro, Massachusetts,
you'd be in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Oh well, shout out Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I didn't have a team. I just had a team
that I bet on. But I again, I mean I
lost enough to suck, but it was cool. I like
Sam Donald winning yeah, I mean sure. I did see
the list of all the quarterbacks that early on in
their career went to the Super Bowl and never made
it back. It's a bad list. Oh wow, maybe think
(06:56):
about you guys.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You think Drake May future Marina.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Marina was one.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He was also the youngest quarterback ever to go to
a Super Bowl, which they showed a couple times. Yeah,
and Drake May was second.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I was surprised to see that Sam Darnold was the
first USC quarterback to start a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I bet you're right.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I didn't see they said at the very beginning of
the game, and I was like, really, like USC quarterbacks,
Carson Palmer, Matt Lioner, Mark Sanchez, there're the ones I
can think of.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Matt Castle, Matt Castle.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of like back in the
day even but no.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, oh that's true too.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Obviously he hasn't made a Super Bowl, but that's true.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, anyway, dude, sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Yeah, all good. I hope, uh, I don't know. I
hope we get some more O line help for sure.
And I also hope Drake I hope this doesn't like
stick with him. For a while.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know what sucked was will Well, Yeah, it was bad,
and they were just harping on it and showing close
ups of him getting dominant on the offensive line.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I know, And I've seen multiple today where it's like
fourteen pressures allowed, the most in Super Bowl history.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I'm like, oh God, so was he not healthy or
is he just not good yet? He?
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Yeah, I mean he had his upiso and downs this year.
Like obviously I watched every game, and it's not like
our old line was anything great all year. They just
had ways of kind of getting around it, I guess,
and they got exposed. I mean four guys collins Worth
to talking about it, but four guys got to him
with ease. It was tough.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Were you hoping Drake would run the ball a little more?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, we were saying the whole time. I was like,
get him out of the pocket or some roll him out,
because he did not look comfortable as soon as they
got to him a little bit. He was all over
the place, even when he had time.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Cardi B had a one point five million dollars Super
Bowl weekend. So and also they broke up Cardi B
in what do you mean she spent that much money. Yeah,
they did, dude. Apparently he was sneaking in an next
girlfriend into their hotel room.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Oh it's so fun.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, he was dealing with the grief.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
They unfollowed each other on socials too. Just had a baby,
but he had four babies last year with forty women.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
We're talking like we know or care?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Did you see Craft up there with her on the
stage of the video of that? Like Saturday or Friday night?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Was Cardi b secure to VP Suite to watch the
Fon Diggs play for the New England Patriots of Super
Bowl sixty. She tried to rent two suites for her
one hundred guests. Unfortunately, she had to split the group
half set in the stands while forty get the box.
So the breakdown of her one point five million dollar weekend.
Seven hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for tickets for
one hundred friends and family, wow, two hundred and fifty
(09:22):
thousand dollars, four private jets to San Francisco for her guests.
At that point, I'm like, I'll get joked up. You
get yourself out there.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, I gotta taking one plane with me in it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm getting your ticket, one.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, a private suite for
forty at the Super Bowl, two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars and Dom and Hennessy and one hundred and thirty
three thousand dollars hotel suite and party room. That's from
the Sun with Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
They had a party room, but that's Almo.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I guess yeah, that's almost the cheapest thing on the
List's insane.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I did spot her in the Bad Money concert. She
was in there, was out there right with Pedro Pascal
and Jessica Alba.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Jessica was the only one I saw.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I saw Alex Alexi. What's your name, Mike, Alex Earl, Yeah, Alex,
thank you.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
With Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
No, no, she was out there dancing, oh the same.
I did see her with Tom Brady dancing at whatever.
Tom Brady's just turning into a cheese ball, dude. Yeah,
he's just turning into a cheese There's a reason Michael
Jordan is still cool to us because he's not out
on social media all the time with influencers and.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Hey, I'm with you. I agree. I the less I
see him now, the happier I am.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Because he was like the coolest, because we didn't because
nothing could take him down because he was We only
knew him as a winner. Now he's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I know, we walked by one of his card stores.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Multiple losses for the Patriots this weekend.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, I mean yeah, overall with the whole Hall of
Fame and then Brady saying that and all that, Brady
being yeah, I didn't really find that a big deal though.
Oh no, sorry, you're talking about him saying like, oh,
I don't have a dog in the fight or no.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
No, I think the big losses him with dancing at
a club with Alex Oh yeah, just being all the parties, Like,
I get it, but man, the reputation's being tarnished. Yeah, yeah,
I didn't care about the other stuff. I understand why
he said that he owns it was part under the
Raiders and they they're hiring the offensive coordinator from Seattle. Yeah,
and then the Patriots. Obviously. I still think he should
(11:20):
have said the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh, he won Super Bowls with the Patriots, that's his team.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
I know.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think if Joe Montana said, well, no, because he
was only well he was a chief, I guess for
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
For a second, just for a little just for a second.
He looks he's he is old, but he's looking small
and old.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's why kids said, they're like, that's Joe Montana.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
My wife said, he's a little guy. Huh, I said, no,
he's just old now it used to be tall. I
guess we start hunching over when we get older.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, they say that our ears and our noses don't
stop growing. Then you hunch over.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
A terrible game. Hey, what happened? Because I saw that
the falcons?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Who is it Pierce?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, James Pearce.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
So what he was being chased or he was chasing somebody.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
In a car? Yeah, he was his ex girlfriend w
NBA player Ricky Jackson. Yeah, big on the WNBA scene
except for Kate Clark. And yeah, he was chasing her.
He was stalking her and then he rammed his I
think it was like a Ferrari or something or Lamborghini
into her car multiple times so she couldn't go to
the police station. And then police ended up showing up,
(12:21):
and then he ran from the cops and then hit
a cop with his car and then.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Physically the human cop.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Yeah, he hit like his knee it said, yeah, so,
and then he got arrested. There's a video of him
fighting like seven cops and it's just like no one.
Everyone's like, no one's got a ten and a half sacks. Yeah,
not good.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah he's out next year.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Yeah, not good. And he dropped in the draft because
of character stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You played Tennessee, Yeah, uh yeah, he's done. And the
Falcons were pretty good. Yeah, they got pretty good last year.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
They had him and the Georgia d Lineman. Both of
them did really good rookie years. And that's not not good. Man.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Eddie's kids had basketball practice on Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Practice leave that craw We.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Were talking about this in San Francsco. Did they go?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Dad had to pull the car and be like, they're
not going.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
What time was it at?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It was from four to five thirty? Oh, shut the
game starts at five thirty, like and this on the
other side of town. We'd missed the first quarter. Like
it's the dumbest thing ever and it's basketball, and you know,
like it's sixth grade basketball. And so I said, no,
you're not going to practice.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Could you have let him go like four to five
and then get back and.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
To pool them out early. That's so obvious.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Are you cleared that they would have practice leading right
up to game time.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
With the Super Bowl?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Like maybe, like I don't know, one o'clock, let church happen.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, and one of my boys did, he had an
early one like noon did two or something?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Perfect?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Did you great?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Would your kid upset that in miss practice?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, I didn't care. He didn't care. But I just
thought that was like, just what do you call it?
Tone deaf? You know, it's other circumstances, but to me,
that's own death.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
When you went to San Francisco. We're gonna play some
of these interviews we have on bo Jackson coming up
in a second. But you guys got put together in
the same room. Get two beads in the room, Kevin, Yeah,
so how to go?
Speaker 6 (14:13):
It was good overall?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
What do you I mean?
Speaker 6 (14:15):
The second night was a little rough for for me personally?
Why because I didn't know Eddie was such a big snorer.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Actually I'm a snorer.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Did you notice the second night I slept with like
white noise on my phone.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I noticed you had the white noise. He busts out
this little all night and I'm like what is that,
because what's the difference we're doing.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's relaxing at least that's constant. It's a line you're snoring,
is like, do you.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Know I snored?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Of course. No one has ever told me that I'm
a snore.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Right, No one know what.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
My wife did tell me though, She was like, hey,
have you did Kevin? Like you tell Kevin and that
you fart all the time in your sleep, and like,
I don't fart all the time?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Yeah, you do that too, You definitely do that. Honestly,
I thought it was just because the first spot we
ate the first night wasn't the best food and it
didn't make my stomach feel great either.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
So I was like, I'll give him this pass, but
is that farting all night?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (15:17):
There's at least three or four dude.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
My wife said, like you fart all the time. I'm like, no,
I don't, like you need to apologize in advance to Kevin.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Because you had air coming out of every hole.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You know what though? The farting if it was that
first night, dude, I was coming off of fast and
then we went the only food we can find was
pizza and wing.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, and it wasn't good, So I think.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
That's kind of what did that. But I apologize Kevin.
My wife told me to apologize to you, oh for farting.
What about the snoring, Well, now, I guess I had
no idea about the snoring, so I apologize for that too.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
My brother and dad are bad snores, too, so I
guess I'm kind of used to it. But yeah, I was.
You woke me up, I think three times a second night.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Let me tell you something Kevin does too.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
He does like a little one night stand action in
the morning where I wake up and he's just gone
for like hours. Like every morning I wake up and
be like Kevin to sleep, Kevin, Kevin not there.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It's because I'm downstairs working grabbing coffee and I don't
want to be loud while working. Two hours dude.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, I would text the room. I'd be like, hey,
what are you guys doing? It is like Kevin's still working.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, he's working all night.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Yeah, it was a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I had to tell Kevin one of the nights to
be like, hey, dude, we're all going to have dinner,
Like let's take a break at six thirty.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So we got working. Yeah, he's like because he got
two shows to do over. Yeah, there was definitely a
difference Missy Mike.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Why Mike's all was working well?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
No, like usually handles like a lot of whistle stuff
and I can focus on the lost day. But then
I did both of them. But yeah, all good. The
dinner was good second night.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And then me, Kevin and Brandon would have breakfast in
the morning. It was kind of it was like dad hour,
you know, where we would just talk about parenting and
they're eating our eggs and everything. Every single day. It
was kind of fun, like we would just have a
little dad like pow, wow, what was I You were
at another hotel?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Oh, got it, got it? Yeah, I was taking another hotel.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I learned a lot about Brandon this weekend too.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
You always learn it ans like we don't know Brandon,
so yeah, Brandon, he just.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Keeps dropping stuff like nonchalant. I'll have this YouTube channel
thing too, like what like little kids stuff. Yeah, yeah,
Brandon crushes it music by the way, kids, that's a
good point.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
We're going to go over to our conversation now with
bo Jackson, one of the greatest athletes of all time.
But when the Heisman in eighty five when he played
at Auburn NFL Pro Bowl in ninety MLB All Star Game,
he won MVP and eighty nine. Here he is Bo Jackson.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
All right here with Bo Jackson.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When you were at Auburn, timing was different than But
what do you think you ran the forty?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
I ran the forty electronically four point one second, four
point four point one three seconds.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
And how hi?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
No way out, yes way, But I'm just saying that's unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I was on my way to track practice, and back
then we didn't have these combines like they got down
that looked like this room that was just somebody from
the NFL, somebody from I guess Combine office. And all
the players came from Tuscaloosha, North Alabama, South Alabama, Georgia
came into Auburn run the forty, then they left. I
(18:23):
was on my way to track practice to chase the
nineteen seventy six Olympic gold medals in one hundred yard dash.
Who was an Auburn graandit Harvey Glands. My track coach
told me both, if you ever catch or beat Harvey
in a race in track practice, you don't have to practice.
(18:43):
I never caught him, and he was thirteen fourteen years
older than me. He was in his mid thirties and
I was twenty one. And I never caught him because
he was like a McLaren sports car and I was
an eighteen wheeler and I couldn't catch you. So I
had to run the forty. The first time I ran
(19:05):
the forty, I ran four to two six. But I
let up there because from the finish line to the
back of the dome and our place was about ten
fifteen yards and I couldn't stop any time. So let's
say at thirty five yards, I just eased up and
cruised through at four two six, and everybody's like, but
he eased up, he didn't run through. And this was
(19:27):
a time of stopwatches, but the electronic time where you
have to put your hand on the tape and come
off and break the laser was four two six. Coach
comes to get on me. Got it? Please run the forty,
try and get these I don't ever want them calling
me again because they're blowing my phone up all times
a night, early in the morning wondering if you please,
(19:47):
He said, for the love of God, do it for me, please,
I said, all right, get back now. I said, you
need to open that back door because I'm like gonna
tear up my hamstrings in that door. It hadn't been opened,
so I've been at Auburn. They opened that back door,
moved all the crap and opened the back door so
I can keep going cause the track practice was right
(20:07):
behind the door, went back down and got back down,
and I took off, ran, threw the laser and kept
going because I told my teammate, get my bag and
we're just gonna go. And I never came back to
see So when I was on my way back, no,
some of the guys came up to the track practice
because I'm trying to catch Harvey Glance, which I never did,
(20:29):
and they said, do you know what I had you
at hand time? I said no. They said I had
you at a three nine four. Another guy My hand
time was three nine five. Another guy said I had
you at three to three. And then the guy that's
running the electronic timer, he said, they're all wrong. I
(20:49):
got you at a four one three electronic that's crazy
at two twenty two.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
But you got into the podcasting world yourself.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Huh, Like just starting wellness meant health physical health. It's
a wellness podcast, right, men's health men, all men's like,
all doubt, all men's health. What are you guys talking
about over there?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I'll tell you exactly what we're talking about. Let me
ask you a question. This is for both day. How
many times have you sit down with your buddies and
sat down and said, man, but you know something, I
had a crappy night's sleep because I woke up four
or five times to go the bath. We'll take a week.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
All this.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Man, I can't play golf next week because they got
to go bit of coldon I speak, because salt some
blood and they still a couple of weeks ago. So
I got to get this thick together. We don't talk
about that. It is taboo for men to talk about that.
Now women, they'll go on National TV. They have groups
where they meet at lunch, glass of wine, dip. They
(21:49):
talk about mastectomies, cervical cancer, incontinence, they talk about everything
we men talk about. Ed Oh hell.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
No, you're right. No, it's embarrassing. It feels embarrassed.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What every channel you turn on the TV, your iPad,
there's an ed AD. Now we can sit there and
read about it. Think about it up here, but we
don't talk about it amongst men. I want to peel
the layers off of that onion to make it comfortable
for us to talk, because knowledge is power. I'm a
(22:24):
cancer survivor as of three weeks ago, I have my
prostate taken out in October, had two cancer spots on it,
something that I probably could easily treat it. Treat it.
But one thing I do know, cancer and mother nature
is undefeated. They don't like to lose. They never lose.
(22:45):
The only thing that you're gonna do with cancer, like
in my situation, was to cut it out. First thing
you think of when you said, oh you gotta take
your process out. Oh there go. My ed problem has
got one hundred times work. I'm not gonna be able
to get laid no more. That's BS. That's BS. And
(23:07):
the reason I'm saying this is because I'm gonna take
this platform to make it comfortable for guys to go
to the doctor to get a PSA test, to go
get their colonnases, and don't be afraid of what the
doctor's going to tell them. Because a lot of guys
don't go to the doctor because they don't want to know,
and it goes back to knowledge is power. Use my
(23:29):
platform to come to your city. I know I will
be a natural because I got too many buddies, men
seminar on sit up at a sit up at an auditorium.
Get some of my friends to help host it. Get
their doctors, the professionals who know the answer to every
question that the audience got there. Ask have the audience
(23:53):
that's going to be there all men. We're going to
ask you to donate from anywhere from one to ten
bucks to come in and sit down and talk, and
those funds will stay in Nashville for guys who don't
have insurance like us, or can't afford to go get
a PSA test period. Try to help guys to gain
(24:15):
knowledge on their health instead of sitting up saying, oh,
I don't know if I got something, but this is
happening and it's getting worse and worse. I don't want
to go to the doctor cause I don't want to
find out what it is. Women talk about their issues
all day every day. We never do that. I want
to peel the layers off of that on you to
(24:37):
make it easy for God to do that. Because I
have two grandsons, and they're the best gift God has
ever given me. And I want to be around to
watch them play Little League baseball, watch them ride their
first dirt bike, watch them dive off the diving board
for the first time. That's what I live for now.
And by me using my platform to spread them message
(25:00):
it's okay to talk about your issues. I hope to
put some sunshine in somebody's cloud to make their life
a whole ideas because we need to open up and talk.
Stop this thinking that if I talk about this it
makes me less of a man. All my buddies are
(25:21):
gonna look at me like I got chink in my armor.
That doesn't matter. I don't care if I got a
chink in my armor as long as I'm around to
tell somebody, hell, I got chink in my armor. I'm
tired of burying my friends, going to friends funerals that
I went to high school with, college with, played against,
played with. And this is on a monthly basis and
(25:43):
the majority of it is because of cancer. Got to
do something about it. Buried a brother in law two
and a half. Three weeks ago, he had project cancer.
Decided to get Radiant five six years later, came back
and then a two year period it went from his prostate, bone, liver,
(26:06):
long then brains. He's he's gone. I got mine, taking
out and have it. Look back the habit, miss the
struggles and the one thing that you think, oh, that
goes my sex life, that's bull. That's bull. Don't be
selfish and do that to your family. Don't do that
(26:26):
to your kids. You should want to be around and
raise your kids, and you can't do it if you're
fighting the big sea.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Of course, it's men's health, right, bo knows men's health. Yes,
that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Why would you start, like, why would you start doing
a podcast?
Speaker 9 (26:42):
Because?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Is it because there's a consistency to it, Because you
can constantly get the message out.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
I can constantly get the message out. And I'm speaking
from experience when I was twenty years old at Auburn,
in the prime of my life, thinking that I'm untouchable,
I'm superman. You get in my way and you're gonna
get shruck, no doubt about it. I can do anything
I want as far as sports. Wake up when morning
(27:09):
and go to the bathroom. There's blood in my store.
I have my first colon be at twenty or twenty one.
Since then, I bet I've had about fifteen to twenty
now that I'm sixty. I get it every three years.
I don't let a doctor tell me, hey, I'll see
you in ten years. Hell in ten years, but I
could grow a grape fruit inside inside of me. So
(27:30):
I go back every time. I just had it last month.
So I'm trying to stay up on my health, and
I want other guys to do the same thing, because
don't be selfish and cheat your family out of that.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I really appreciate the time both.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Thank you very much, guys.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Thank you man podcast. You'll be get out of it
what you're aiming to get out of it. I think
you've change a lot of lives.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
That's what I look to do. That's what thank you
for having me, sir. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I'm gonna go now to our talk with current Egos
linebacker Nikobe Dean. Nikobe won the Buckets Award in twenty
twenty one while playing for Georgia, which is given to
the nation's best linebacker. He won a national championship that
with the Bulldogs in the Super Bowl last year with
the Eagles. So thanks to NA Kobe for talking with
us here. He is Eagle Ni Kobe Dean n Koby.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Appreciate the time.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Man, definitely appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Something I'm always interested in is going from warm weather
to cold weather because at Georgia, uh huh it's pretty warm, yeah,
kind and Philly it's pretty cold like that.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
It doesn't seem as fun.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
In the cold.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Uh, what you're talking about football?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, no, football and the cold is funny.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
That means you made it late in the season and
it's probably around playoff time. So it is at least
at least in Georgia down south because it get cold
a little later.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Uh, it was a privilege to play in the cold.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
That means you you made it to the playoffs and
you uh like growing up it was like Mississippi, you
played in the code.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
That me you're playing late. So it's cool.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
I mean it's football, so when you it is your profession.
So when you're playing in the cold, no matter, you
don't even feel it.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
What was the change like with Philly fans?
Speaker 10 (29:14):
Oh, I mean you got a fan base who probably
the most passionate fan base.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Uh there is uh, and they'll let you know. I mean,
I remember my rookie year.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
I think I was out shooting pools or something and
I had a guy come.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Up to me, you know, he said, what's up, and
he was like, yeah, you know we real.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Passionate fans, like, uh, we'll take a bullet for you,
but we'll put.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
You in front of one just as fast.
Speaker 10 (29:39):
I was like, okay, see what type of you See
what type of people we got here?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But it's all good. Though, it was all good. They
passed it.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
They uh, they want they want to win, and yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
I mean fans are pretty passionate.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Yeah, But I was at Georgia like, we ain't never
had no problem. Well you won all the time exactly exactly.
I'm we didn't take care of all that. So I
never really had no problem from our own fans. Never
if we was like I think my second year when
we when we during COVID year, we ain't.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
We ain't have the best type of year.
Speaker 10 (30:14):
But even then and then, like it was, no, I
don't remember ever see receiving any negative feedback from our
fans at all.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Why I'm a Cowboys fan, man, and I we disliked
the Eagles, but how much do you dislike the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh? Man?
Speaker 10 (30:33):
I don't necessarily dislike no uh, no specific team, but
I mean, growing up, my mother disliked the Cowboys bad.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
And it wasn't even because of the Cowboys.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
It was because of the Cowboys fans that had lived
around us. This literally was the only reason she was
calling the Five Star Chicks. Oh yeah, talking about the fans. Yeah,
So it had nothing to do with the actual team,
was all. It had everything to do with the fans.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Before you go out, do you like to be completely
amped up or do you like to be as calm
as possible so you can think.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
Clearly it's a build up. For me, it's a build up.
It's like, uh, it's kind of like it goes a
little bout a little and by the time I'm running out,
then it's I'm amped. Like I'm amp I don't I
don't be amped in the locker room, but like, as
soon as I'm running out of the tunnel, then I'm
I'm at the peak.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I'm way aamped up.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You just met Bo Jackson, Yeah, what was that?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Like? It was cool? It was cool man.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
You talk about you see you've seen all the documentaries
and everything about Bow and Bo knows all that you
see all that, and it's like you see a lot
of like I just seen like Bears, Santa's and MS
Smith walking around just never seeing those guys you're talking
about some great in the game. So it's definitely cool
to be out here seeing them.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Both said he ran a four one.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
That's what he said.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
That's what he said.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Well, he said they handheld him faster than that, but
he got a war one nine at Auburn.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Okay, at two twenty.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
Or two twenty, Okay, I mean, what do you think
I would have said the same thing if they didn't
and they didn't have recognition.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
He might be he might be telling the truth though
I was at the same thing.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
What is your fastest report the time?
Speaker 10 (32:19):
It's yeah, that's official, like a like a four or
five hand. And that was like in high school. I
haven't ran the forty cent. You didn't run it all Like, no,
in the cup I got, I got, I had tweaked
my pick, I couldn't uh and I at the time
I had just around the time it was to run
(32:41):
the forty I just wasn't healed yet. By the time
draft got here, I was here, but everybody thought I
was still hurt.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But it's all good.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Also, if there's a way that your time could hurt
you but not help you, like why do it?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Yeah, like it.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Wasn't you weren't gonna do anything to help. Everybody knew
where you were going to fall in the draft, like
you were that dude. But you go in and you
run a little slower, maybe they start going maybe maybe
he's not that dude.
Speaker 10 (33:06):
Well, my draft process was a little weird, just because
the week the week of the draft, it was everybody
thought they were saying I was heard and this that
and the third and I'm like, i don't know what
everybody was talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I'm injury prone.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
I haven't missed the game in college, I haven't missed
the practice, but I'm injured prone because I tweaked my
pick while I'm training for the draft.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Anyway, you think that was to get you to fall?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
You think they were playing that stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I'm not going to say that, but I did.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
I mean, I feel alway the eight third pick, but
I fell to the right team. Uh No, super Bowl later,
super Bowl champion later.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'm good. I'm not playing in it, and we up
for a country this year, So I'm blessed.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
What is this week like and how is it different
than a regular season because you got two weeks. But
you try to not get too a too early in
the process, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
I mean, well you got to you're playing football. Is
like you kind of know that you're playing the football,
but you not really. I guess my first the first year,
I didn't even play.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
In the one last year because I had heard my knee.
Speaker 10 (34:10):
Because but the first year, I mean, I feel like
the once we won the NFC Championship, it's like you
amped up for like a couple of days, empt up
for a couple of days. I think I was more
amped up because we got the bye week, the age
of by week to relax and not relaxed. We were
still praxing, but to not play a game.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I think I was more amped.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Up about that, uh, because I got to go watch
the the my board always winning another national championship against
TCU back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
That's an ugly game for tc year.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
Yeah that's quick, that's quick.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
That yeah twenty three, But yeah it was, so I
think I was more amped up about that.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Then by the time you get to the game and everything,
you you.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
Kind of kind of able to live it out your
emotions and just play football.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Tell me about kind Hearts for Life.
Speaker 10 (34:58):
Oh, this is my foundation that me my mother started,
we started, you know, she kind of set the foundation
of my giving back and and giving back to the
community and just just being out there and trying to
spread positively and light to everywhere.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Our motto is reaching for.
Speaker 10 (35:17):
The hand of touching the heart, and we feel like
we truly, truly try to do that with starting with
the youth. That's kind of our main folks, trying to
give back to the youth.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
And if we have.
Speaker 10 (35:28):
An event it can be a thousand kids. Then if
I'm able to touch one kid and just put a
sense of confidence and belief that they can do whatever
they want to do in life, then I feel like
I've done.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
No.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
How do people find out more about your foundation?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
You can go uh, you go on line?
Speaker 10 (35:46):
Yeah, you go on social media Instagram at kind of
Hearts for Life Life Speed with l YLFU in the
four number four, or you can go kindhardst Forlife dot com.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Awesome. I really appreciate the time. Definitely, Yeah, thank you
very much.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Today We're gonna go over now and talk with five
time gold medalist swimmert Ryan Murphy. Ryan's won nine Olympic
medals all time for Team USA even brought one to
the interview, which we talk about. We also got into
the discussion about swimming from Alcatraz. Here is Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Hey Ryan, good to see you man.
Speaker 11 (36:18):
Yeah, great to see you too.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Where do you live? What do you train?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
So?
Speaker 12 (36:21):
I'm trained to have cal so I live live in
the area. So I'm in a city called Rinda.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Where'd you grow up?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
Grew up?
Speaker 4 (36:27):
So?
Speaker 11 (36:27):
I was born in.
Speaker 12 (36:28):
Chicago, grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. Basically came out here
for school and then swimming. There's no pro draft or anything,
so most people end up training with their with their
college coach.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
So you just stayed stay feel like home?
Speaker 12 (36:40):
Yeah yeah, Now it's like, I mean, he's an interesting place,
Like so many of my friends from college have just
stayed here. So it's great. Like we have a really
really solid trend of group out here.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
What are the mornings, like, what do you start training?
Speaker 12 (36:53):
I mean, I wake up, I'm pretty much picking up
at five every day in basically three times a week,
I go straight to the weight room, start lifting.
Speaker 11 (37:02):
Do that for an hour and then go to the pool.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
And then the other days it's pretty much wake up
and go to the pool and just get get right in.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
I'm assuming you're doing full body right when you work out?
Speaker 12 (37:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, because I think we go in the
weight room like there's a level of like we're trying
to maximize explosiveness, there's a level of injury prevention and
so like swimming is so much like lats and back
and so like you kind of want to balance things out.
But yeah, it's full body, so anything like squats, I
mean squats, lunges, pull ups, bench Queen's core.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Is there a tapering situation with you before you race?
Speaker 11 (37:38):
Like, well, yeah, tapering's big sweet.
Speaker 12 (37:40):
Pretty much four weeks out from a meat we'll we'll
start to dial back the volume intense stays pretty high,
but the volume comes down probably by like seventy percent
when you get to the week of the of the race.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
This may be the dumbest question you've ever gotten, but
is there every time you get to the pool and
the water is way too cold?
Speaker 11 (38:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (38:01):
Like right now this morning, Yeah, like I jumped in
and it's like I let out, I let out an audible.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
Like it was so it was so cold and then
then it sucks.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
You just have to like you have to go fast
and warm up in order to to then not feel cold.
Uh So, yeah, that's a brutal part of the sport
for runners.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
If there's wind that can affect the race and if
it's an official time. Is there anything in swimming where
that would like the temperature of the water, like does
that actually make you swim faster, or if like the
little pomp is on at the bottom and it's actually
on while you're swimming, that's a bubble.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
Yeah, yeah, there's.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
I mean in the in the short races, it doesn't
make it as big of an impact.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
But sometimes there's a.
Speaker 12 (38:45):
Current in the pool and it typically like goes in
a circle, So if you're on the outside lanes, one
direction ends up being you know, pretty sizeable difference faster,
Like it ends up being like we're going probably half
a second faster going one way versus the other.
Speaker 11 (39:00):
Uh So, the current is probably the biggest.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Thing, And that's a real thing.
Speaker 11 (39:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (39:04):
They like when you get to the big meet, they're
supposed to turn that off for all the races, but
it's still somehow that it's still sometimes slips.
Speaker 11 (39:12):
Through the grounds.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Is there a lane that you want?
Speaker 12 (39:16):
I mean, to be honest, you probably want the outside lane.
Like if you're thinking about just like waves in.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
The pool, but you can't see as many people, then
right exactly.
Speaker 11 (39:23):
So that's like the that's the trade off. Like if
you're like, if.
Speaker 12 (39:27):
You don't need to see people to like kind of
drive you to that extra level of to push through
that extra level of pain, like, then you're finding the outside.
But if you need to see people, you want to
be right in the middle lane four or five?
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Do you need to see people?
Speaker 7 (39:42):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (39:42):
I like to.
Speaker 12 (39:43):
I like to yeah, because I think I mean, there's
so many different philosophies, Like so many coaches say, like
focus on your lane, focus on your race, Like yeah,
you want to do that. But like at the end
of the day, like I'm good because I'm super competitive
and so saying people helps me kind of get a
little bit more out of.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
My So when you're training, well they have like a rabbit,
a pool version of a rabbit that you chase, or
is a time that you can see or even like
a laser that you can actually see while you're going.
Speaker 12 (40:13):
I mean, it ends up being like no it ends
up being old school, just like you know, kind of
verbal motivation. Uh, in different you know, there's different styles
and tactics, so you can get that can be pretty
hardcore sometimes and other times you can just feel like hey,
like yeah, you like realistically, like if your best competition
in the world was doing this next to you, like
(40:35):
they they'd be going faster.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Like if there was like a la, a rabbit on
the bottom of the pool that you could see that
you knew was an exact time when you're swimming against that.
They don't have that technology. I think it just invented
something great. Yeah, yeah, throw it in the bottom of
the pool, a rabbit if you're trying to be this
time and that rabbit or that dolphin fish the dolphins
going a certain.
Speaker 11 (40:53):
You're done, You're done with this podcast, you're starting.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah, because you know when we watch the Olympics, like
you have the world record right in front you all
obviously don't see that, but for us, it's like he's
he's almost there.
Speaker 12 (41:06):
Yeah, you know, it's it's gnarly and like watching it back,
you're like, damn, I do wish I know I knew,
Like so it would be cool, it would be cool
to have that, you know, have that like right in
front of your face kind of when you're doing these
fast efforts, but not nothing there yet.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
How do you decide what stroke you're going to do
when you're young, when you're in those formidable twelve thirteen
year old years.
Speaker 12 (41:30):
So you kind of train for everything and then and
then at some point it just becomes clear what you're
better at. I'd say, like the only stroke where it's
very clear if that's your best stroke is breaststroke. So
basically like if your feet are kind of more of
like duck feet, like.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
They like just go out, like if you're born that way.
Speaker 12 (41:49):
Yeah, like some like you see some people walking by,
they just have like their feet are out. I mean oppositly,
I'm pigeon toed, And so for me, like that ended
up being better for backstroke, But I probably started leaning
into that as my best stroke when I was like
fifteen or sixteen.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
So Bobby and I talked about the guys that escaped Alcatraz. Yeah,
and Bobby is like, you know, I've gone by Alcatraz,
Like I feel like I could swim it. Do you
think you could swim it?
Speaker 11 (42:18):
Yeah, So I've done it.
Speaker 5 (42:18):
Before and how was it cold.
Speaker 11 (42:21):
I hated it.
Speaker 12 (42:22):
I actually hated that so much because I didn't go
like I just went. I went into brief like I
wasn't I wasn't wearing a body or a wet suit
or anything like that.
Speaker 11 (42:33):
And so like that water is like.
Speaker 12 (42:35):
Fifty and like you can't see, like if you put
your hand in the water, you could see maybe like
two ft in front of you.
Speaker 11 (42:42):
You're getting hit with these waves.
Speaker 12 (42:44):
And then it's like in some cases there's another there's
another race called the Tiberan mile.
Speaker 11 (42:50):
Tiberan is a shark.
Speaker 12 (42:52):
Yeah, And so then you're like start thinking about that,
and I'm like, no, it's it's not for me.
Speaker 11 (42:56):
So I did it once, and that's that's good.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
You think the guys made it, the listeners, I think so.
Speaker 12 (43:03):
I mean, it's like if you're I mean, if it's
literally like you're you're actually life or death in that scenario,
you're you can make that.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
That's what I felt too.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Although it is extremely cold and it's extremely that there's
a bunch of waves.
Speaker 5 (43:16):
But I felt like if it were like I might die,
I think I think I could probably make You could
do it.
Speaker 11 (43:21):
You could do it.
Speaker 5 (43:22):
You have a medal with you.
Speaker 11 (43:23):
I do, I do. It's been just been sitting in my.
Speaker 5 (43:26):
Pocket everywhere you go.
Speaker 11 (43:27):
So it's just got nice. We got a nice warm
metal here.
Speaker 5 (43:30):
Wow, So tell me about this metal all right?
Speaker 12 (43:33):
So after I'm the that was from the Paris Olympics.
This is yeah, So that one was so that was
a mixed medley relay. So basically in that one, it
was a it was a race between US in China,
uh and basically mixed medley. Really you go two males
and two females to do whatever order you want, and
so China and the US ended up we did the
(43:55):
same exact strategy. So we went two males, so we
would I let off baxxtro, another male go breaststroke, and
then we'd female fly and then female free and it
was pretty much as a dog fight the whole way through,
like we were within a tenth of a second the
whole way. We end up winning the winning the race
by I think point oh five.
Speaker 11 (44:17):
We broke the world record.
Speaker 12 (44:18):
And then what I learned after the Games, we ended
up beating China in the gold medal count by one medal.
So this was a this was a super important race
to for the US to get it done.
Speaker 11 (44:30):
So it was an awesome atmosphere. We were, I mean
we were. We celebrated hard after that one. That was
it was it was really really fun.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Well, how are you feeling going in? How's your training
right now?
Speaker 11 (44:39):
It's good.
Speaker 12 (44:39):
I mean, I'm I'm honestly in a mode where like
I took I took time off after Paris, so I'm
I'm really just ramping up now. So I'm I mean,
I'm taking my licks. I'm kind of getting my butt
handed to me in practice. But it's it's it's good.
I'm I'm building up the fitness. I'm excited. La is
gonna be unbelievable. So I so I feel good, like
I think I'm gonna be in a good spot. Even
the progress in this yeah, in this past month has
(45:01):
been has been really significant.
Speaker 11 (45:04):
So I think it's coming back pretty quick.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
I really appreciate your time. Good luck, Thanks for bringing
the metal.
Speaker 5 (45:08):
That's awesome, cool, got it?
Speaker 11 (45:09):
You got it?
Speaker 5 (45:10):
Yeah, thanks for hanging out with us today. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
And now our talk with Rams defensive back Quentin Lake.
Quinton was a sixth round pick by the Rams out
of UCLA. Just got a new contract extension last month,
So congrats to him. Thanks to Quentin from jumping on
with us here he is Quentin Lake. Hey, Quentin, good
to see you, man, Good to see you. How much
of a relief is it when you get a contract extension, Like, well,
how does that feel emotionally?
Speaker 8 (45:34):
Emotionally? It feels great.
Speaker 9 (45:35):
Personally For me, it felt even better because I was
at home, you know, like I'm from California, and really,
for such a great organization to be like, hey, we
want you to be a part of the future, that's
one of the best feelings ever, you know, to be
able to have not only the security on the team,
but to understand like they bought into you.
Speaker 8 (45:54):
That means so much.
Speaker 9 (45:55):
And I'm I'm really blessed and really thankful that they're like, hey,
you know, we cherish you value and we want to
see you here for the next three years.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I've been through some pretty significant contract negotiations and the
whole time they're negotiating front of add like I don't
really know. I'm trying to do focus, but I kind
of know, and like I'm having small conversations.
Speaker 5 (46:12):
Is that to you? Does that wear you down at all?
Or you just let them do their thing while it's happening.
Speaker 8 (46:16):
I mean, that's the reason why you have an agent,
you know, that's the reason.
Speaker 5 (46:18):
I have an age of two.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
But I'm like, I need to know every day well
I know.
Speaker 5 (46:21):
I know.
Speaker 8 (46:22):
That's why for me.
Speaker 9 (46:23):
It's like a lot of athletes can kind of get
in trouble if you think about it too much. But
if you never want to let that side of it
affect your play. And I always told myself, if I
take care of what I need to in between the
white lines, everything will take care of itself.
Speaker 8 (46:35):
These processes arelong.
Speaker 9 (46:36):
Mine was eight months, you know, of constantly talking making sure,
hey we're always in good communication. But at the same time,
I was like, hey, I'm gonna let you handle it.
You know, I'm going to go out there and put
my best work that I can and everything will fall
in place. There's a saying if they want to, they would,
and that's exactly what it is. If they want to
do contracts and stuff like that, they're going to make
(46:57):
it happen.
Speaker 8 (46:57):
And at the end of the day, that's exactly what
happened with me.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
In about when you.
Speaker 5 (47:00):
Get drafted to stay home like you'r UCLA.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Did you think that was going to be the case
with the conversations that, hey, if you're there, we're gonna
take you.
Speaker 9 (47:08):
Oh no, not at all. I had So the Rams
did it a little bit differently. They just sent me
a questionnaire and that was it. It was like one
hundred question questionnaire to see like different attributes, different values,
what are your you know, what are things that you
like and stuff like that. I honestly thought it was
gonna be either the Patriots, Raiders or Dolphins. The Raiders
dB coach called me and he was like, hey, if
(47:28):
we have you at blah blah blah round and this number,
we're gonna come get you. And you hear this story
a ton of times. Okay, it's round six, pick one,
thirty two, it comes up. They say, this is exactly
where are they gonna get you? Another name pops up.
You're like, man, like, what's up with that? Like that's
that's crazy to me, you know. But at the same time,
(47:49):
when my name did pop up round six to eleven
and it was their Los Angeles Rams, I was like, man,
what a blessing. I'm around my family, I'm around my friends,
I'm in a familiar environment. I don't have to fly
anywhere to go to the facility. I'll just drive up
in my twenty seventeen Toyota Corolla and get my you know,
pj's and my clothes and all that stuff too.
Speaker 8 (48:08):
So it was a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
What about your pops, Like, how did he prepare you
for the league?
Speaker 7 (48:14):
Man?
Speaker 9 (48:14):
He's, uh, We've we've been talking about it for a
long time. There's this acronym that we use, it's called
eight and we always say, you want to go, you
want to go eight and APE stands for your attitude,
your preparation, or your effort. Those are three things that
you can control on a day to day basis. And
he says, as long as you do that, no matter what,
you know, you'll probably be successful. And on top of
(48:35):
that is he says, you don't want anybody to outwork you.
You don't want anybody to out hustle you, and you
don't want anybody to outprepare you, and the cream will
always rise to the top. And I've been he's been
telling me that, you know, drilling that into my brain
ever since. Really he understood that, you know, I can
make it to the NFL because when I was young,
he was like, I'm just gonna take a step back.
(48:57):
I'm not going to coach you. I'm gonna let you
figure it out on your own. And then when he
saw like, oh man, he might actually make it. He
might get drafted, he might you know, he got a chance.
That's when he was fully invested. And that's when we've
been talking about it. And football is all love language.
Now we talk about it all the time. We go
over games. If a guy, if I go home, I'll
bring my iPad and we'll go over a whole game
and he'll get me all the tidbits that he knows
(49:17):
from him being in the NFL so long.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Matthew Stafford won the MVP last night. What's he like
in the locker room?
Speaker 9 (49:22):
One of the best human beings I've ever been around.
The thing about him is not only is he a
great leader, great player, great person, but you just want
to model the way for him. He's such a great father,
and I think that plays into who he is in
terms of his character. There was a viral clip a
couple of days ago, a couple of weeks ago about
(49:43):
him tucking his daughters after we lost you know after
we lost an NFC championship, and that goes to show
that you want to be around guys like that, not
only guys that are great players, great friends and great
acquaintances with great fathers too.
Speaker 8 (49:55):
He I mean we talk about all the time.
Speaker 9 (49:57):
One of our sayings is modeled the way, and he
models the way as a round for sure.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
Man, I always loved since I was a kid the
Rams helmet. Like to me in the league, that Rams
helmet with the morning is like, take yourself out of
the Rams. What's your favorite helmet, even from when you
were little.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Man.
Speaker 9 (50:15):
I think I'm a little bit biased, but those yellow
Pittsburgh and the yellow Pittsburgh with the black those like
when I was playing Madden, and obviously I was born
in Pittsburgh, Dad played and all that stuff too, But
those are like the holy grail for me.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
That's very biased, but you can still Yeah, it's not
a little bias's that's very biased, but I love those helmets.
Speaker 8 (50:34):
And then I also say this, the Buccaneers cream pol Yeah,
those are sweet. Those are sweet.
Speaker 9 (50:39):
So and then last one, not least like our midnight
jerseys that we had as Rams, like I had to
buy that I had to buy that helmet because I
was like, I got to keep this thing forever.
Speaker 5 (50:48):
If you give your jersey to another guy, do you
got to pay for the jersey?
Speaker 9 (50:51):
It's like five it's like five hundred dollars, No way,
you have to pay for it. So yeah, I had
to pay like twelve hundred dollars for mine for all
my jersey and you can buy more and you yeah,
you have to buy all your stuff.
Speaker 6 (51:02):
Like you come on, you like, nothing's free.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
Nothing is free.
Speaker 6 (51:05):
They're not gonna be like, hey, we're gonna give you this.
Speaker 5 (51:07):
What about the new deal? Like I need ten year.
Speaker 9 (51:10):
Yeah, you could do ten jerseys, but it'd probably be
a couple thousand, or.
Speaker 5 (51:14):
You could get the money instead.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
But isn't that surprising though, that like the first one's
not free and if you lose that, you pay for
the replacement like a credit card.
Speaker 6 (51:22):
It'd be yeah, that's true.
Speaker 9 (51:23):
But they say like, hey, you know, sometimes especially during
the preseason, like hey, no jersey swaps, you know, because
we got to get through all these joy preseason, they'll
be like, hey, no jersey swaps this time, unless it's
like a special occasion you played with them in college
or best friend or.
Speaker 8 (51:39):
Something like that. But other than that, you gotta pay
for them.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
I appreciate the time. Congratulations on the extension, looking forward
to big things from you.
Speaker 5 (51:45):
Guys next year.
Speaker 8 (51:45):
Said thank you so much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (51:47):

Speaker 5 (51:49):

Speaker 3 (51:52):

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Done. Dude, it's so sad. Sundays are gonna feel so weird.
Saturdays are gonna feel weird.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
Yeah, Saturdays are kind of been clear though for the
most part.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
Yeah, already.
Speaker 6 (52:03):
I watched the first college basketball game that I've watched
so far as a duke. North Carolina won great game.
Speaker 5 (52:10):
Carolina was down pretty big at half.
Speaker 3 (52:12):
Yeah, and then they I was just watching on my
phone and they kept getting closer and I was like wow.
And then I didn't watch the end of it. And
then I see that that three pointer from the corner,
and I didn't know what year was from, and then
I'm like, oh my god, that's the game.
Speaker 6 (52:25):
It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
That was That play was planned out like done, It
was executed perfectly.
Speaker 6 (52:30):
Did you see Belichick's girlfriendar in the shirt?
Speaker 3 (52:34):
Did you see that Eddie referencing Robert Krafts.
Speaker 6 (52:37):
Yeah, that massage.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Parlor No way, what did it say?
Speaker 6 (52:40):
Whatever that I don't I couldn't read it. But whatever
that massage parlor company was or.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Whatever, Savage, that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (52:47):
At the North Carolina game.
Speaker 3 (52:48):
That felt weird when you said that.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
Why it is savage?
Speaker 6 (52:54):
Think it's cringey or oh he got a little too excited.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
He's like savage.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
Yeah, just kind of. It's like Papal trying new words.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
