Cam and Cooper go in depth on the origin and production of Cooper’s long running Fox Sports segment “The Manning Hour,” before reminiscing about Cam’s many appearances on the show and their father’s time as teammates on the Vikings.
Then Cam asks the question we’ve all been wondering: who is the funniest Manning Brother?
Plus, Cooper reveals himself as the ghost writer for Eli and Payton’s more PG-13 comedic material.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome one. Come on, I appreciate everybody tapping in. This
is Off the Edge the podcast with me your host,
Cam Jordan. I'm super excited to talk to a man
who's famous in his own right, a man who started
up the Manning Hour, the myth behind the legends, if
that makes sense. We're talking about a man who's co hosting.
(00:26):
We need a fourth podcast from Smartness Media. Not the youngest,
but the eldest Manning brother, not the uncle or the
grandfather of Arch, but the father of you know, let's
bring in my guy, Cooper Manny. It's time for this
week's Drive for Success Conversation presented by Toyota.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Let's go places.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Cool to see. Cam. I can't thank you enough for
having me on. You've been such a great guest of
The Manning Hour of the last eleven years that you know,
you say what time and what to wear, and I'm
there and you requested this hat, so I decided I
wear it for you.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Look I heard you down there in good old Austin, Textius.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You know, oh yeah, just just you know, it's like
Peter Pan down here. Everybody addresses every day is Halloween.
You addresses anybody you want. Actually, I just got a
bad haircut, so I've more I had to you can
relate to bad haircuts. You've had a couple, and I said.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I may be rocking one right now. I was like,
I gotta get retwisted.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But started off in silver is just like slowly fading
to blue blood.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And yeah, I just well, confuse is not a bad
way to be, you know, immatere and confused. Those are
my two favorite favorite ways to keep them all guessing.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I said, how does that affect the kids? Because my
wife tells me, She's like, could you could you act
your age? And I'm like, I can't act any older
or younger than I am currently.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It just means they're not going to expect a lot
out of you, which is fine. Just kind of keep
disappointing them, and it's either for you don't you don't
really let them down. You start off at a very
low base and you just kind of hover at that level.
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Are you are you the fun dad or are you
the the was it the disciplinarian?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, I would say I'm a I'm a fun dad.
I mean, I mean, I think they're still perfectly scared
of me. In the right spots. But I think that
you know, they they're they're they're not they're they're glad
to introduce me to their friends, and they if they're
going to have a little shin dig or something, they
don't mind me being there for the appropriate amount of time.
(02:24):
But I'm also can I can turn into big bad
dad if need be, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, the the finding lines. Look I am I'm the
I'm the embarrassing dad. I walked in and uh, my
kids this morning had was a grand grandfriend's day, and
I was like, I don't know what a grand friend is.
I was like, but here I am over a country
day and I was like, I was like, hey, I
got the shild had approve it. I was like thank you,
being like, yeah, it's not playing around. I'm like, no,
it's not your dad, I'm your grandfriend.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah. I love. I loved dropping my children off on
carpool like you know, in second grade and be like
you forgot your extra underwear, you know, and they you know,
they kind of hit that keep going or something like that.
You got to just keep them at parrass. That's a
good Bila. Yeah, everybody everybody needs a packing extra pair
of tidy whities from time to time.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Look, I'm waiting until they get older. I'm waiting till
like middle school, high school, and to have like the
boombox with the dance battle. I can't wait to get
the you know, the funkadelic, freaking, you know vibes to
the eighties rat battles.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'm sure the top brassed Country Day is looking forward
to that as well.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh my gosh, they'll be like, I'm so glad he's
retired by then, you know, like I'm gonna I'm gonna
tear this place down, all right. But uh, I guess
I should get to the questions I know, or we've
got you here and we know, just how did how
did the Manning are even start?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I've never actually asked the origin.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, It's funny. We we had to. We've always
had the Manni Passing Academy down in Thibodeau. Every year
we have all these great kids from all across the
country come down and attend a football camp really just quarterbacks,
receivers and running backs. And then I was always kind
of the entertainer. You know, you got on the microphone
and go around and mess with people and have a
little camera crew follow me. We'd cut it up and
(04:04):
if it rained or something went wrong, we'd have some
footage to go show them. You know, we would kind
of not be able to practice. And my buddy, God
bless Chris Mortenson used to watch this through old mort
for the ESPN. He goes, Cook, you might, there's so
manly something to do here, you should probably go reach
out to the ESPN. I can connect it, maybe a
guy Fox and see if there's something you could do,
or you could interview a player and just have a
(04:25):
little fun. I was like, yeah, let's go for it.
So I flew up to Bristol and kind of walked
the idea through ESPN and then met with some Fox
folks and it just seemed like, I don't know, Fox
kind of liked it a little bit more, and they
didn't really think I could get access to the players.
They didn't think it would really work. And I was
at least remotely smart enough, barely smart enough to go
(04:49):
I better start off with a powerful you know, one, two,
three punch. Therefore, other players that would go well. If
Drew Brees does it well, if Cam Newton does it well,
if Von Miller does it well, if Odell does, then
I can probably do it. And those are my first
four and shoot, eleven years later we're humming along and
doing things ridiculous and silly and don't take yourself too seriously,
(05:10):
and you know they don't. It doesn't even have to
be a great player, just a guy that's fun, likes
to do something, has a talent. And you can juggle
or sing or dance, or fishes or goes bowling, or
likes to get up a couple's massage, you know, or
just have a strong personality like yourself. You're well deserving
to be a possible interviewee on the Manning Hour. So
(05:31):
it's it's the quickest or slowest or most uninteresting two
minutes in sports, the Couple Manning Hour minus fifty eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I mean, it's a great time to be though. There's
a lot of good placelines.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I feel like I've taken the spot where I've been
on the show the most in my mind, I don't
you know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I think you've been on the show five times. Five
times a lot means it means three or four things.
It means one, you've been playing football long time, he
had a high level and then just you have a
lot of free time, so it's good.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, I'll tell you, for every haircut, there has to
be a reappearance on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know, we're overdue. I'll come see it as we
approach Christmas, but I need a bailout. I was like,
I don't feel like travel this week. Let's just let's
just go down the road in New Orleans and do
something with Cam. Yeah, we'll dress you up with that hair.
You can dress up as sad and not even need
a wig. You'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Talking about that.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know, like Von Miller, you know, he's always he's
always doing interesting things.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You know, my man a couple years ago have like
a triangle patch in the back of his head.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Now he's got you know, he had like a little
shag cut of some years back. Nobody, nobody talks about it,
but he discreetly does his own thing.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You know. Von is just a country dude. He's a
he's raising chickens now he's grown. He's a chicken farm.
So we had him on. He has a tattoo of
a chicken right below his knee, and uh, and he's
just I mean, what an athlete, What a what a
delight to be with. And uh, I mean, you know
there's stories of of Vaughn when it had been Peyton
(07:06):
was with the Broncos of Vaughn after practice, just lined
up at corner and covering guys at you know, at six'
three and changed two. Fifty just he is that gifted
of an. ATHLETE i think one of the one of
the all time. Greats it's fun to be.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
AROUND i could, UH i can believe that. ONE i,
mean you, know he does come from an all time great draft.
Class i'm gonna say the best draft class ever twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Eleven yeah you, know, yeah you know that was who
else was in that? Class only you named.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Him Cam newton was number, one you, Know vaughn was number.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
TWO i Think Marcel darius was was, Three Patrick, Peterson Julio,
jones you, Know Alden smith fastest to forty five.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
SACKS i Think Danielle hunter ended up beating.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That but just some, MEGASTARS Jj, Watt Cam, hayward you,
know Love Cam.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Herrick, YEAH i Remember Cam. HAYRID i remember when WHEN
i WHEN i was growing. Up you, know his father
was with The. Saints my dad would go down my
dad was doing the color on the, radio so we
Would peyton AND i would go get a cab at
eleven thirty from our, house which you'd never miskick off at.
Noon that's how easy it is to get The, superdome
(08:15):
watch the, game and go down and meet my dad
down the locker. Room after he would do the game
and then do a couple of postgame, interviews and we
would See ironhead coming, out and we saw this child
THAT i thought was fourteen and it was really, Three
and that was Cam, herrod the BIGGEST i think he
still has the record for maybe of the heaviest child
(08:38):
ever to be. Born you, know In New orleans, hospital
was like north of seventeen. Pounds he was a full
man coming. Out so what a stud he.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Is no.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
DOUBT i, MEAN i love that guy simply because he
has my. Name i'm the third cam of our. Draft
by the, Way, CAMTON i was a second second one
taken with the third of the.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Draft you.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Know, yeah we had some, dogs a lot Of Pro,
bowlers a lot of wall, pros. Leta, anyways nothing about
our draft. Class we're not here talking about how great
my draft class.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Was it's just being the.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Best we're here about your, show which of course you
Have Von miller, on and then you say you're starting
for was What drew.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Brees the first ever episode Was.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Drew it was the First drew rus And, DREW i
have this. Idea i'm trying to pitch The, fox AND
i don't think it's gonna. Work it may not. Work
just do me a favor and just come over and
sit on the steps. TODAY i, mean we're just gonna
talk And i'll be kind of it'll be, awkward and
you just roll with. It and he's, like. Okay and
it was that. Easy and he BELIEVED i wore a
tuxedo and he blew he Had he said he played
(09:37):
some instrument and he brought it this like wooden horn
that was horrible and it was awkward and it was,
perfect and you, know it was the genesis of a
very mediocre media.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Career mediocre, media, nah impossible eleven. Years there's nothing mediocre about.
That plus it's. Funny so did you make your own
shoot your own?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Skin? WE i wrote AND i had a buddy who
was good. GOOD i was PRETTY i was pretty involved
in the in the first couple of. Years and THEN
i said, GUYS i got stuff going, on and PLUS
i don't know who all makes sense to be on.
It they'd, say, cook there's a great defensive lineman from
The browns who's you, know who's hysterical and he loves does.
(10:19):
AEROBICS i, said, let's you, know let's get him and
then we'll figure it out and just make and they
really we kind of have a loose, script but it
really works better when it's just kind of organic and
natural and we have a little theme and set them
up for a couple of. Winners but it's better when
it's just interactive and things go wrong and that's kind
(10:40):
of the the. Fun AND i guess this day and,
age it's it's evolved where people were a little hesitant
to be on on. Camera now people players want to
show a side of them that you know that the
general general public doesn't get to see without the helmet
and just be a be a regular guy or, so you,
know if you're a, musician a, magician we've had, magicians,
(11:02):
musicians we've had, Physicians we've had them.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
All i'll say it wasn't wasn't there a center that
ended up being a. Magician there was a safety they
ended up being a. Physician you.
Speaker 3 (11:10):

Great we hadn't know maybe an old teammate of. Yours

a long. Time it never Met Brian, bumgarner but a
huge fan of the. Office kevin from the office and
our whole family has the office memorized and so the good,
folks it's SmartLess they must HAVE i don't know how
they must work a matchmaking, service because got three of us,
(25:49):
together they sent us over To scotland to the old
course to play a little golf and just kind of
see how we got. Along and it was just instant.
Chemistry and so we're just interview and every week someone
who likes golf plays, golf has thoughts about, it but
not nothing, technical all, fun, funny bad embarrassing, stories things
(26:10):
that why it's important to them what they loved, about you,
know playing with their dad or weird celebrities are cutting
and so it kind of it resonates with anybody who
likes who's played golf, before and you don't have to
be a stud or a stick and we're getting. Good
we've got a lot of, comedians so we get funny.
People we've, had you, Know Bobby, Flay we've Had Max
(26:31):
homa and just Had Keegan. Bradley but we've had you,
Know Will arnett And Jason bateman and you, know Got
Darius rucker coming. Up we've, got you, know all kind
of interesting. Folks and it's great for me to sit
back and kind of be able to share with the other.
Guys doing that solo like you're doing right now is not.
(26:51):
Easy it's hard when you have two other guys to
kind of you, know. Dish, yeah sometimes sometimes you can
just Play dan. Rebound you don't have, to and so
it's it's kind of nice and so we've we're having
a lot of fun and, yeah It's i'm enjoying.
Speaker 1 (27:06):

Office it took. Me i'm not gonna. Lie we were over, There,
scott AND i did kind of catch myself several times

Interviewing Jason bateman one, time AND i guess they're, all you,
Know hollywood. Guys he got, on he goes good to
see a, bomber And i'm, like, Bomber SO i just
call him the bomber. Now and Therefore kevin never comes
(27:35):
to the equation the, bomber the mad. Bomber and he
hits a golf ball pretty good, way so he kind
of thinks it's why bombing, it and so, hey everybody
wins love. It.
Speaker 1 (27:44):

a podcast because he's most known for his you, know

the perfect time and is a fun guy to kind
of just shake your head at and shake him up
and love being Around Kenny.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Maine you just you just talked about your your team

to blue blood.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And yeah, I just well, confuse is not a bad
way to be, you know, immatere and confused. Those are
my two favorite favorite ways to keep them all guessing.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I said, how does that affect the kids? Because my
wife tells me, She's like, could you could you act
your age? And I'm like, I can't act any older
or younger than I am currently.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It just means they're not going to expect a lot
out of you, which is fine. Just kind of keep
disappointing them, and it's either for you don't you don't
really let them down. You start off at a very
low base and you just kind of hover at that level.
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Are you are you the fun dad or are you
the the was it the disciplinarian?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, I would say I'm a I'm a fun dad.
I mean, I mean, I think they're still perfectly scared
of me. In the right spots. But I think that
you know, they they're they're they're not they're they're glad
to introduce me to their friends, and they if they're
going to have a little shin dig or something, they
don't mind me being there for the appropriate amount of time.
(02:24):
But I'm also can I can turn into big bad
dad if need be, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, the the finding lines. Look I am I'm the
I'm the embarrassing dad. I walked in and uh, my
kids this morning had was a grand grandfriend's day, and
I was like, I don't know what a grand friend is.
I was like, but here I am over a country
day and I was like, I was like, hey, I
got the shild had approve it. I was like thank you,
being like, yeah, it's not playing around. I'm like, no,
it's not your dad, I'm your grandfriend.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah. I love. I loved dropping my children off on
carpool like you know, in second grade and be like
you forgot your extra underwear, you know, and they you know,
they kind of hit that keep going or something like that.
You got to just keep them at parrass. That's a
good Bila. Yeah, everybody everybody needs a packing extra pair
of tidy whities from time to time.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Look, I'm waiting until they get older. I'm waiting till
like middle school, high school, and to have like the
boombox with the dance battle. I can't wait to get
the you know, the funkadelic, freaking, you know vibes to
the eighties rat battles.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'm sure the top brassed Country Day is looking forward
to that as well.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh my gosh, they'll be like, I'm so glad he's
retired by then, you know, like I'm gonna I'm gonna
tear this place down, all right. But uh, I guess
I should get to the questions I know, or we've
got you here and we know, just how did how
did the Manning are even start?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I've never actually asked the origin.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, It's funny. We we had to. We've always
had the Manni Passing Academy down in Thibodeau. Every year
we have all these great kids from all across the
country come down and attend a football camp really just quarterbacks,
receivers and running backs. And then I was always kind
of the entertainer. You know, you got on the microphone
and go around and mess with people and have a
little camera crew follow me. We'd cut it up and
(04:04):
if it rained or something went wrong, we'd have some
footage to go show them. You know, we would kind
of not be able to practice. And my buddy, God
bless Chris Mortenson used to watch this through old mort
for the ESPN. He goes, Cook, you might, there's so
manly something to do here, you should probably go reach
out to the ESPN. I can connect it, maybe a
guy Fox and see if there's something you could do,
or you could interview a player and just have a
(04:25):
little fun. I was like, yeah, let's go for it.
So I flew up to Bristol and kind of walked
the idea through ESPN and then met with some Fox
folks and it just seemed like, I don't know, Fox
kind of liked it a little bit more, and they
didn't really think I could get access to the players.
They didn't think it would really work. And I was
at least remotely smart enough, barely smart enough to go
(04:49):
I better start off with a powerful you know, one, two,
three punch. Therefore, other players that would go well. If
Drew Brees does it well, if Cam Newton does it well,
if Von Miller does it well, if Odell does, then
I can probably do it. And those are my first
four and shoot, eleven years later we're humming along and
doing things ridiculous and silly and don't take yourself too seriously,
(05:10):
and you know they don't. It doesn't even have to
be a great player, just a guy that's fun, likes
to do something, has a talent. And you can juggle
or sing or dance, or fishes or goes bowling, or
likes to get up a couple's massage, you know, or
just have a strong personality like yourself. You're well deserving
to be a possible interviewee on the Manning Hour. So
(05:31):
it's it's the quickest or slowest or most uninteresting two
minutes in sports, the Couple Manning Hour minus fifty eight minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I mean, it's a great time to be though. There's
a lot of good placelines.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I feel like I've taken the spot where I've been
on the show the most in my mind, I don't
you know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I think you've been on the show five times. Five
times a lot means it means three or four things.
It means one, you've been playing football long time, he
had a high level and then just you have a
lot of free time, so it's good.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, I'll tell you, for every haircut, there has to
be a reappearance on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know, we're overdue. I'll come see it as we
approach Christmas, but I need a bailout. I was like,
I don't feel like travel this week. Let's just let's
just go down the road in New Orleans and do
something with Cam. Yeah, we'll dress you up with that hair.
You can dress up as sad and not even need
a wig. You'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Talking about that.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know, like Von Miller, you know, he's always he's
always doing interesting things.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You know, my man a couple years ago have like
a triangle patch in the back of his head.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Now he's got you know, he had like a little
shag cut of some years back. Nobody, nobody talks about it,
but he discreetly does his own thing.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You know. Von is just a country dude. He's a
he's raising chickens now he's grown. He's a chicken farm.
So we had him on. He has a tattoo of
a chicken right below his knee, and uh, and he's
just I mean, what an athlete, What a what a
delight to be with. And uh, I mean, you know
there's stories of of Vaughn when it had been Peyton
(07:06):
was with the Broncos of Vaughn after practice, just lined
up at corner and covering guys at you know, at six'
three and changed two. Fifty just he is that gifted
of an. ATHLETE i think one of the one of
the all time. Greats it's fun to be.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
AROUND i could, UH i can believe that. ONE i,
mean you, know he does come from an all time great draft.
Class i'm gonna say the best draft class ever twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Eleven yeah you, know, yeah you know that was who
else was in that? Class only you named.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Him Cam newton was number, one you, Know vaughn was number.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
TWO i Think Marcel darius was was, Three Patrick, Peterson Julio,
jones you, Know Alden smith fastest to forty five.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
SACKS i Think Danielle hunter ended up beating.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That but just some, MEGASTARS Jj, Watt Cam, hayward you,
know Love Cam.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Herrick, YEAH i Remember Cam. HAYRID i remember when WHEN
i WHEN i was growing. Up you, know his father
was with The. Saints my dad would go down my
dad was doing the color on the, radio so we
Would peyton AND i would go get a cab at
eleven thirty from our, house which you'd never miskick off at.
Noon that's how easy it is to get The, superdome
(08:15):
watch the, game and go down and meet my dad
down the locker. Room after he would do the game
and then do a couple of postgame, interviews and we
would See ironhead coming, out and we saw this child
THAT i thought was fourteen and it was really, Three
and that was Cam, herrod the BIGGEST i think he
still has the record for maybe of the heaviest child
(08:38):
ever to be. Born you, know In New orleans, hospital
was like north of seventeen. Pounds he was a full
man coming. Out so what a stud he.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Is no.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
DOUBT i, MEAN i love that guy simply because he
has my. Name i'm the third cam of our. Draft
by the, Way, CAMTON i was a second second one
taken with the third of the.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Draft you.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Know, yeah we had some, dogs a lot Of Pro,
bowlers a lot of wall, pros. Leta, anyways nothing about
our draft. Class we're not here talking about how great
my draft class.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Was it's just being the.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Best we're here about your, show which of course you
Have Von miller, on and then you say you're starting
for was What drew.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Brees the first ever episode Was.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Drew it was the First drew rus And, DREW i
have this. Idea i'm trying to pitch The, fox AND
i don't think it's gonna. Work it may not. Work
just do me a favor and just come over and
sit on the steps. TODAY i, mean we're just gonna
talk And i'll be kind of it'll be, awkward and
you just roll with. It and he's, like. Okay and
it was that. Easy and he BELIEVED i wore a
tuxedo and he blew he Had he said he played
(09:37):
some instrument and he brought it this like wooden horn
that was horrible and it was awkward and it was,
perfect and you, know it was the genesis of a
very mediocre media.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Career mediocre, media, nah impossible eleven. Years there's nothing mediocre about.
That plus it's. Funny so did you make your own
shoot your own?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Skin? WE i wrote AND i had a buddy who
was good. GOOD i was PRETTY i was pretty involved
in the in the first couple of. Years and THEN
i said, GUYS i got stuff going, on and PLUS
i don't know who all makes sense to be on.
It they'd, say, cook there's a great defensive lineman from
The browns who's you, know who's hysterical and he loves does.
(10:19):
AEROBICS i, said, let's you, know let's get him and
then we'll figure it out and just make and they
really we kind of have a loose, script but it
really works better when it's just kind of organic and
natural and we have a little theme and set them
up for a couple of. Winners but it's better when
it's just interactive and things go wrong and that's kind
(10:40):
of the the. Fun AND i guess this day and,
age it's it's evolved where people were a little hesitant
to be on on. Camera now people players want to
show a side of them that you know that the
general general public doesn't get to see without the helmet
and just be a be a regular guy or, so you,
know if you're a, musician a, magician we've had, magicians,
(11:02):
musicians we've had, Physicians we've had them.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
All i'll say it wasn't wasn't there a center that
ended up being a. Magician there was a safety they
ended up being a. Physician you.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
KNOW i remember we had a great we had a
Great we hadn't know maybe an old teammate of. Yours
he was there briefly was uh we said a magician came, In,

(25:49):
together they sent us over To scotland to the old
course to play a little golf and just kind of
see how we got. Along and it was just instant.
Chemistry and so we're just interview and every week someone
who likes golf plays, golf has thoughts about, it but
not nothing, technical all, fun, funny bad embarrassing, stories things
(26:10):
that why it's important to them what they loved, about you,
know playing with their dad or weird celebrities are cutting
and so it kind of it resonates with anybody who
likes who's played golf, before and you don't have to
be a stud or a stick and we're getting. Good
we've got a lot of, comedians so we get funny.
People we've, had you, Know Bobby, Flay we've Had Max

Know Will arnett And Jason bateman and you, know Got
Darius rucker coming. Up we've, got you, know all kind
of interesting. Folks and it's great for me to sit
back and kind of be able to share with the other.
Guys doing that solo like you're doing right now is not.
(26:51):
Easy it's hard when you have two other guys to
kind of you, know. Dish, yeah sometimes sometimes you can
just Play dan. Rebound you don't have, to and so
it's it's kind of nice and so we've we're having
a lot of fun and, yeah It's i'm enjoying.

call him the bomber. Now and Therefore kevin never comes
(27:35):

of thinks it's why bombing, it and so, hey everybody
wins love. It.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
