(00:59):
what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Dolphins?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welcome back into that episode of Dolphins HQ right here
in the Baptist Hell Studios. Our guest today the astronaut
bea Chub, Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Thanks for joining us today, man, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So one of the things I wanted to ask you
to start the show here is I feel like nobody
ever asked players like just how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You're number eight, week fifteen. How are you feeling?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Feeling good? You know, all things considered. You know, the
course of the season, you get a little sowred, you
get a little tired. But we're blessed to do this, man,
And last year I wasn't able to do this. So
any chance I get to be out there with my
guys feel the sore iness from a game, you know
what I mean? I take it all I don't take
none of it for great. I take it all in
and try to appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm sure a four game winning streak certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Helpsis and bruises Hill up a little bit there lot faster,
for sure. What's been one of the keys of that
for you guys turning things around here get on a
hot streak.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Camaraderie, I would say, you know, just guys buying into
each other, not just the scheme, like, yeah, the scheme
is the thing, but buying into the guy next to you,
understanding him on a personal level, trying to be the
best version of ourselves for each other, and I feel like,
you know, just that's been keeping us going. You know,
everybody is playing for somebody, and it's been fun to.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
See sometimes whether I'm also the meeting room Russell of
the locker, might hear the player name chance the Bradley
Chubb Club.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
How did that originate it?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Honestly, it originated by us just like just playing around, man,
trying to get some energy into the meeting room. And
we did it in the meeting room, and then somebody
made a play. I forgot who was the first one
to make the play, and we did it on the sideline,
and it's been carrying on ever since, man, And it's
just like I said, it's just everybody buying in together.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We want to make a play because we want to
hear our name chanting on the sideline from.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
All the guys.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Inspires everybody to do better.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So the main reason we have Bradley Chubb on today
is that you are our Walter Payton Club winner this
year for twenty twenty five. And I just want to
start off by asking you, like what that means to you,
because this is one of the greatest honors any player
can receive in football.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Have you had some time to reflect upon that.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, it means a lot to me. Not only to me,
but you know, my family as well. We put a
lot into the Chubb Foundation, trying to ever since twenty seventeen,
trying to get it up and running. Man, my brother
was the person on the forefront doing everything while I
was still in college and he was in the NFL,
And so we don't do it for cognition, but when
you get recognized for your efforts, it's always a blessing man,
(03:04):
and it just propels us to do even more. You know,
the spotlight is on us now and we want to
make sure we continue to change lives as much as
we can.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Let's talk more about the Chub Foundation, because I had
that in my notes here, and you, your brother and
your mom all part of it and just the best
type of family business you can imagine. Right, But you
mentioned twenty seventeen, you're in college. There's not a lot
of amateurs out there thinking about like you know, it's
mostly about how can I get to that next level
you're already planning for, Like how can I make an
impact in my community at the next level?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Tell us about how that came to be so young
in your career.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, it honestly started with my family man, my mom
and dad as we were kids. You know, they just
planning the seeds of you know, serving others and to
me and my brother, and you know, every Sunday after
church we would go feed the homeless. And then my
mom she does she runs with this group called Back
on My Feet, who you know, services people battling addiction, helped,
like just runs with them throughout the city of Atlanta,
(03:54):
helping them get back on their feet and back to
normal life. And you know, just seeing how my parents serve,
it just instilled that into me and my brother and
we wanted to do the same things. And he had
the platform first, being in the NFL first, so he
got the ball rolling, and we both know we wanted
to do that with our name and with our legacy
and keep it carrying on. So just he got the
ball rolling, like I said, and when I came in,
(04:16):
it's just all full steam ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Your resume here of like programming, it's it's impressive and
it obviously shows why you are the Walter Payton Man
of the Year for the Miami Dolphins this year. The
Chubb Club Tour, moving the needle, name of the game
chess in real life, the backpack giveaway. Like I'm reading
all these things and I'm thinking, do you ever sleep?
But in all seriousness, like this is a relentless passion
for you obviously means so much to you.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So like what's the why?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Why is that so important to be so involved and
to be so widespread in all the things that you do.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I feel like it's important just to give kids a
head start in life, you know, like you said, the
different program than we do. Like the name of the
game chess. That's that was the dopest class I've been
a part of, you know, seeing how the teacher Bobby
would take the game of chess, break it down. So
we're just playing with the pawns today, like get the
pond to the other side, and this is about how
you moving through life. You got to sacrifice some things
(05:04):
to get to where you want to go, Like, and
you know the kids would be in there trying to
take the pawns and stuff. He's like, that's not the game.
The game is to get the pond to the other side.
So you can't let other things you want in life
distract you, you know what I mean, just those life
lessons within the game, and then you know, the financial literacy,
being able to learn how to control your money before
you even have money. You know, these kids don't, they're
(05:24):
not getting paychecks or anything, but when they do start
getting in the workforce, it's going to be important for
them to you know, take care of that, build that
generational wealth. And you know, it's just one of those
things just gonna give kids ahead start in life and
understand that the world is the oyster. They could do
whatever they want with it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I love it, man, because like sports and games, it's
the best like metaphor for life, right, Like you can
learn so much through through sports and games. I'm sure
you kind of had that feeling coming up as a kid,
being a star athlete.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
When you were younger, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, honestly, I feel like football's for me has been
the best like life lesson. You learn adversity, you learn teamwork,
you learn accountability, you know all those things. And that
was my sport. But you know, trying to give these
kids another outlet to see these these same same qualities
of a person.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I think it's displayed when we see you you know,
running through camps with your your fellow you know, campes
or whatever you call it. But like the passion that
you show in those camps, like three hour long camps.
You're dripping in sweat. Why is it so important? Because
like you know, not to like call anybody out, but
sometimes these camps get ran and the guys that kind
of stands off to the side, the litt kids run
thing the drills, but you're out there like blood, sweat
and tears of the kids.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Why is it so important to be so involved as
a participant for you?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's important for me, man, because you know, these kids
probably won't get the opportunity with the NFL player, with
the college player, with you know, the opportunity is endless.
Like me being out there that could change the trajectory
of their whole life. And that's how I see it.
It might not, it might, but at the end of
the day, I know I gave that kid out all
that day and there's something to go talk about forever.
And it's a blessing when I see when I go
to the Boys and Girls Club or if I'm just
(06:48):
walking around, I see somebody with the Junior Dolphins Chop Foundation,
T shirt from the camp. I'm like, oh, you were there,
you had a good time, blah blah blah, and they
are dying to talk about it. So, you know, just
whenever you get a chance to impact somebody, that's my
form of you know, I like to play football. I
like to play around half one and be a kid
in that sense. So to enjoy that with them is
very special.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Did you have one of those when you were younger,
like a formative moment with an athlete or player that
came to your school or something that kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Not necessarily came to my school, but my brother and
I were We were huge Georgia Bulldolph fans because both
my parents were there. My dad played there, and you know,
we did those camps. They had like overnight camps back then.
I don't know if they still do, but it was
the Mark Rick football camp and the players from the
from the team would come out there do different drills
with us. We had will stay in the dorms, we'll
eat the food that they eat, and you just felt
(07:34):
like a Georgia football player. And you know, I remember
guys like no Sean Marino being out there, Matthew Stafford
being out there. They probably don't remember it, but you know,
I still talk about it to this day. So that's
why I want to have that same impact on these kids.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The Seattle Marris Caravan came to my school as a kid,
Kingerfory junior. I was like, what what is going on now?
Griffy is right in front of me. This was the
best day of my life. We talked about your mom
and your brother a little bit earlier. That video we
put on social media of you reading letters. Well, my
fair pieces of content we've done here with the Miami
Dolphin and your mom. Man, she's got some bars.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, that's some bars for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So I have the line right here. Astronauts don't go
to space to pump themselves up. They go to bring
something back that could change the world. Like I'm a
pretty good writer, Bradley, I couldn't write that, Like, tell
us about that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Now. She's been doing the thing.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
My mom has been somebody in the educational field who
has been on my tail since I was a kid,
you know what I mean. And when I'm writing papers, No,
you can make that better, do that a lot better.
I'm up til twelve am trying to write these papers
back into elementary school, in middle school and stuff like that.
And you know, she always supposed ess to be great,
so I wasn't surprised when I was doing her bars
in the paper for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's great to hear. Man. That's my favorite part of
the entire video.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You mentioned twenty twenty four a minute ago, how you
weren't able to be out there on the field obviously,
And I saw this tweet from one of my favorite
fans of ours on Twitter where he was showing you
signing autographs before a game last season, and I just
think it says a lot about who you are, man,
Like you're grinding through one of the toughest things an
athlete can endure, right rehabbing getting back on the field.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's a rare quality.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And I'm not just like trying to make you blush here,
but I want to understand like where that from, because
it goes back to the three hour camps and just
the multiple initiatives, like service is always at the front
of your mind, Like what started that?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Just understanding my opportunity, understanding where I'm at, understanding that
I don't have to be here, I don't have to
be a professional football player. But God put me in
this position to inspire others, and that's what I try
to do each and every day. Like last year, I'm
not playing in the game, so I might as well
make a kid smile. I might as well sign something
for somebody to, you know, like I said, so they
can have that memory for the rest of their lives.
(09:30):
And it goes back just to my parents are still
in that and too. It's like serving others before yourself
and and uh, you know, using your light, you're blessing
to bless others.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's it's so cool man to learn about all your
involvement all these programs. Just tip of the cap to you, man,
and congrats on this honor.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Once again.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I'll close with this because it reminds me of your
your teammate last year, alec Ingold, who was a couple
of Time nominee here with the Miami Dolphins. You guys
have a lot in common that way. I have to
imagine you guys have had a few chats about service
and how how can you know a team approach to
community impact, Like how can that you know, be something
you could you can get bind?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Oh yeah, for sure. Talk to Alec. A lot of
times about just the things he does in the community.
He's always very supportive of the foundation. I'm supportive of
his as well. And we all have our own different resources.
So you know, if we all gather our minds together
and go out there into the community, and I might
be doing a certain program and Alec might not be doing,
but he has the resources for another program. We could
(10:23):
join those forces and you know, and be the best,
the best team in the NFL at that off the field.
And it's not just me and him that do the things.
You know, Guys like Zach Seeler who's with the Safe
Haven Foundation. He's a outdoor focused but you know, sometimes
kids want to go outdoor. Sometimes the kids I have
want to do different opportunities like that. So it's for
sure things we could we could expand our horizons and
(10:45):
all work together, for sure for the greater good.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Has that gone you out there to do any of
the outdoor stuff now?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, I keep telling them I'm going out there, but
it never worked out. But I'm for sure going.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
To do it this off season with him, some some
gladesman activity right out there with the algaion and stuff.
I'm scared, but yeah, I'm gonna Bradley Chubb, you're twenty
twenty five Miami Dolphins, Walter Payton Mann of the Year
club winner. All right, there goes Bradley. Let's go ahead
and take our first break.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Right there.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Come back on the other side, we'll hear from Dante
Trader and Jordan Phillips, who both played Santa claus on
Wednesday night. We'll also pick the week fifteen games. That's
next Draft Time podcast, brought to you by AutoNation. Week
fifteen in the National Football League, and what a glorious
week it is. What a fun week to have a
Monday night game on where you can sit back on Sunday. Well,
(11:30):
you guys probably do this all the time anyways, But
for my purposes, I get to sit back and watch
ten hours of football on Sunday. Actually, I'll probably just
skip the sun night game and watch something else because
Dallas and Vike and Minnesota yuck. But the one o'clock
and four o'clock slates are outstanding this week. We went
ten and four last week, one thirty six, fifty seven
(11:52):
and one on the season. Trying to close strong here
over the final four weeks to get back to seventy
two percent where like seventy point four right now. So
need to have a strong finish here to get back
into the goal range of what we're trying to do
here in the picks. But ultimately no one cares, right
I care. That's about it. Let's go ahead and cue
the music. We picked the Bucks over the Falcons on
(12:13):
the Thursday. Felt pretty good about that one. We'll see
how that goes. I'm taking the Ravens over the Bengals
against my better judgment. Did you guys see the Joe
Burrow press conference from Wednesday? My week's all off this
week from Wednesday, where he talked about the joy of
football and whether or not you have that joy seemed
a little ominous, in the same way Carson Palmer's end
(12:35):
of his time with the Bengals was ominous.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I'm not saying anything, just think it's worth tracking.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And I feel like the Bengals could easily win this game,
even though they kind of had that deflating loss last week.
And the Ravens are off of a really tough loss.
But they're going to have to find a victory here
against the Bengals and going forward winning some more games
ahead of that Week eighteen game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
So I will stay with the Ravens, who were my
Super Bowl pick, who had injuries derail them early on.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But they're just not a great team this year.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Sometimes I guess that just happens in this league, and
we're seeing here with a perennial juggernaut in the Ravens.
I'll take them to get back on the winning track
this week to get to seventy seven. I'll take the
Eagles over the Raiders. The Eagles broke all of our
hearts on Monday night, could have made our playoff path
actually somewhat feasible.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now not as much.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
But they will get a bounce back win here over
the moribund Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Houston over the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
That's one that you could look at as a potential
big swing upset if you get that one. There's kind
of like a game back on type of deal in
this playoff race. But the Cardinals are essentially getting their
doors blown off of them and then they throw the
ball sixty times the rest of the way and break records.
It's like the weirdest season I've ever seen in my life.
With old Jake Brisket, the Texas win that game easily.
(13:48):
In my opinion, I'm taking the Chiefs over the Chargers
that I probably have. I would say my record picking
Chargers games is probably my worst team to pick this year,
because they keep on winning these games some way, somehow.
I mean, they won an overtime after getting what was
it six Eagles takeaways in that contest. Like, it's getting
pretty crazy, the amount of luck. That felt like the
(14:10):
game that I've talked about a million times in the
show last year, the Falcons game when they got Kirk
Cousins turned it over four times and the Chargers won
by like sixteen to thirteen by a field goal late
in that game. I'll take the Chiefs to keep their
season alive and to give the Dolphins a modicum of hope.
If you get that result, you would essentially need at
ten and seven the Chiefs to they have to lose
their game to the Broncos because they have the Raiders,
(14:32):
and like the Titans are the other two games, so
the Chiefs if they win this one, all of a sudden,
the Chiefs are a Broncos went away from ten to seven,
and they would knock you out as well. But you
needn't help you here by knocking the Chargers down a peg. Look,
it's gonna be tough for the reason. It's like seventeen
percent right now, even if the Dolphins go ten and seven.
So give me the Chiefs over the Chargers. I'll take
the Bills over the Patriots. I flipped this pick. I
(14:52):
was gonna go Patriots. But I think Buffalo is kind
of finding themselves a little bit. The defense still has
you know, a lot of warts and you know, but
Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen's going to access his
best footballs he typically does this time of year, and
I think they're gonna take down a Patriots team that
has played very good football, is a very good team
but has had a nice little cruise control schedule since
(15:13):
the Bills game. I think Buffalo gets revenge here and
splits the season series. Jacksonville over the Jets. Obviously, I'm
taking the Giants over the Commanders. Commanders are a good
cautionary tale right about how quickly things can change, both
in the upswing. You know, this time last year they
were fighting to make the playoffs. Then you win two
playoff games and it changes the entire perception of your organization.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And rightfully so.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But then you come back this year and your quarterback
exits four games where he misses the rest of the game,
and then this is the following game that was Jayden
Daniels and not coming out of college and why I
was so like against the idea of him as a
high draft pick out of college. Then he played so
well into preseason and that in front of me in
practice and in the season that I was like, Okay, yeah,
(15:57):
that's a superstar quarterback. But now here we are again,
and that is probably one hundred and ninety five pounds
and throw throws his body around. You know it's not
gonna You're not gonna last doing that. And the quarterback
on the other side that I'm picking to win this
game for the Giants does the exact same thing. So
Giants over Commanders here as the Commanders try to play
out the string of a lost, miserable season, I'm taking
the Bears over the Browns, although I don't I think
(16:23):
both these quarterbacks aren't gonna like playing in that game,
which is looking like Dolphins and Chiefs almost to a
certain degree in terms of the weather in Chicago. But
the Bears are a better football teams will go Chicago there.
I'm taking the Saints over the Panthers. I think the
Saints defense is pretty damn good and Tyler Shuck has
shown some things. I think they could easily sweep the
Panthers and the spot not buying down the Panthers at
(16:43):
all this season.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
What a weird team they've been.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
The Rams and Lions was one of the toughest picks
for me of the week.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I'm taking the Rams. I think they are a better team.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
They've also had the Lions number in this post Stafford
like rivalry, you know, type of matchup, and I think
the Lions are gonna start playing, as we saw last week,
some better football here. But I just think the Rams
are too good and they had their slip up and
so I think they're going to be on the right track.
Rams over Lions to really make the Lions playoff chances
hurting after this week. I'll take the Seahawks over the Colts.
(17:14):
I am excited to watch Philip Rivers. I can't lie
to you about that, but it's not going to be pretty.
Seahawks are one of the best teams and defenses in
football up in Seattle and bad weather that should be
a pretty ugly one there for the Colts. Who the
Dolphins need to lose that game if they're going to
have any chance. Packers over the Broncos. What a fun
game that is. I mean, my goodness, Jordan Love against
that defense. And Bo Nix is playing like I talked
(17:36):
about him being a bottom half of the league quarterback.
He's like number twenty two in EPA for dropback this
year and they're still winning a bunch of games despite.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Having pretty bad quarterback play.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't think you get away with it here against
the Packers and Micah Parsons though, So I'll take the
Packers to win this one. Niners over the Titans obviously,
Cowboys over the Vikings obviously. And I don't feel great
about this. I'm picking with my is my heart and
my I don't even know anymore. I took the Steelers
over the Dolphins, but I don't feel great about it.
So what does that tell you?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Who knows? Let's go ahead and get out of the picks.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Cut the music and let's go ahead and hear from
Jordan Phillips and Dante Trader, who were two of like
just kind of standing off for the side and watching
the players interact with the kids. Don't get me wrong,
Ollie Gordon was awesome. Bunch of the guys were awesome
with the kids. But Jordan Phillips was just different and
I saw a different side of him in this event.
And Dante Trader is always so good with all these
things too. So let's go ahead and hear from Jordan
(18:27):
Phillips and Dante Trader who were at the Adoptive Family
event where they essentially every rookie goes out and shops
for gifts off of these two families wishless for Christmas,
and they buy all the gifts, they have dinner with them,
they open the gifts. It's an awesome event. I tweeted
about it on Wednesday night. Go check it out if
you haven't seen it. Let's go ahead and start here
with Jordan Phillips and then Dante Trader.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
This was really what it's all about. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
The Holidays at a time to bring in fellowship, love
and family, and that's what the Dolphins is about.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The whole organization.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, you were.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Handing out those gifts. You're kind of the forefront of
all of it, making some big smiles. They could tell
us how that felt to see all these kids faces
line up like that.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Man, they felt really good, you know what I'm saying.
Like when I was younger, my mom, she had a
hard time providing for us on Christmas Day, and so
you know, we just want to make it easier for everybody,
for all families involved. You know, no matter where you're from,
who you are, you know, we you know, at the
end of the day, we're just trying to impact other
people and put smiles on other people faces. And it
was a great feeling to see that we accomplished that tonight,
(19:25):
just seeing the smiles.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So you guys went out and purchase the gifts yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What did you What were some of the things that
you picked up?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Man, I got the bike, iPad, the clothes, the cars.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
But it's not about that, you know, it's just about
providing for the community.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And you know, as long.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
As I could see to walk this earth, that's something
that I strive to do, is help others out because
at the end of the day, it's bigger than us,
you know, it's about helping the next person out, about
developing the next generation and helping the next family.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
So that's really what it's about.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Absolutely to that point, where did you learn about some
of the families and kids there, because you guys had
a meal with them before we did the gifts exchange.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
What was that experience?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Man? It was great.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Man.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
You know, We've got a chance to you know, see
some of the grades that the kids are making, and
you know what I'm saying, play some card games and
build some puzzles and do some arts and crafts. It
was all around such a great experience just to figure out,
you know, the kids and their lives and see their interests.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
It was really good. Though.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You have you ever been like a mall Santa Claus
or anything right before, because I feel like you have
that in your future if you wanted.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Hey, you know, I ain't never been one, but you know,
I'm opening. I'm open to be a mall Santa Claus
or something. As long as I could put a smile
on somebody else's face. That's all I care about. So
you know that's what it's about.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's Jordan Phillips Shortan thanks man.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh yeah, yess h.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We are here with Dolphins rookie safety Dante Cherir at
the Rookie Adopted Family Event.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Can you just tell us what we're doing here tonight? Like,
what's the whole purpose the event?
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Whole purpose is definitely to give back to the community,
but also give experience to kids that they may not
always have to have gifts and NFL players in the
same presence, things that they wanted, things they didn't know
they were getting. Being able to alleviate some pressure off
of a family is really about the holiday experience.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Giving back.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Man.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
You know, our whole class was just love being out here.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
The smiles on the faces from the kids and the
parents just we you know, they'll always.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Remember that memory. I know, I wish I had something
like this when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So, yeah, what's the shopping experience like?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
So you guys learn about the event, you guys go
out and get your own gifts.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What was that like among the rookie class.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Oh, it was grabbing go that's it. It was.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
We were clearing all the aisles. It was hilarious. It
was fun.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Did you guys go together?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh, we went together.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
We were really competing everything we do with compete versus the
offense defense, and as we're going out, we're just crossing aisles.
Oh they need this, they need this, We're just grabbing it.
And it was a fun experience to you know, shop
for somebody other than ourselves and our families. So we
know we want to do it big, and that's what
we did. So me saying grab and go was just, Hey,
they might need it, they may not.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
We're grabbing it regardless.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So doesn't matter. Was fun, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So I was kind of on the outside when you
guys doing the gift exchange.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I couldn't really see the faces of the kids, but
I heard the oohs and ahs.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Take us inside when those kids were over for those
gifts real quickly.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
That was like that it was a timeless experience.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
I would say that time slowed down seeing the kids'
faces light up and seeing their their gifts, and the
the parents' faces too when their kids are getting the gifts,
and you know they they really appreciated it and just
you know, they were just excided just to.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Be having the gifts they wanted.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
And you know, just seeing all the NFL players is
around and it was a great experience for everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So we've talked a few times on the podcast here
just about some some personal things like it seems like
service is a pretty big deal to you, and that's
a big deal for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Just tell us a little bit about your experience, you know,
in your first year.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Here of giving back to the community and doing so.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Much for the South Florida community.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Yeah, I've always given back, but I say I've really
been impacted by guys like Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I helped his event today.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
I just was like, Yo, tag me along and just
how I can learn the ropes up a bigger skill.
So it's just amazing to see players that are so
elite on the field and elie off the field.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And that's the type of person I want to be.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
And you know, everybody that's on this team and Dolphins,
we want to do it the right way. So yeah, stats,
you want to go play, but we really.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Care about how you impact people off the field. So
your impact off the.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Field is a part of your legacy and a big
part of your legacy.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
So how will you remember? How will we be remembered?
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Other than the last name on your jersey, which you know,
in a sense, it really doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
It's the community around you that.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It really matters, you know, Jim dude. Thanks, all right,
there we go. That was fun.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Let's go ahead and take our last break right there.
Come back on the other side. If you're a college
football fiend, Army Navy is a big deal. Every single year.
We're gonna hear from three players in the Dolphins locker
room that were part of that game, part of the
service academies, Joe Cardona, Jimmy Carlow, and Andre Carter. That's
Next Draft Time podcast, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I am joined by.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Dolphins long snapper Joe Cardona and Joe I talked to
the two Army guys and they're both younger guys on
the earlier side of this rivalry. So I asked them
their favorite memories of the rivalry Army and Navy, and
they mentioned the overtime game a couple of years ago.
I'll ask you the same question, what's your favorite memory
from the.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Time you played in the game, you know, being a
little bit removed from it, I think my big memories Obviously,
I was very fortunate to be on some very good
Navy teams.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
We ended up winning four games against.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Army, but the specific outcomes don't stand out to me.
The real memory of the games is just how hard
fought those those games were. You know, it was a knockout,
drag out fight, and you know, but at the same time,
each team had the utmost respect for every single player
(24:17):
on the opposing team.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And when the.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Final whistle blew and Zeros are up on the clock,
you know when you when you shook hands at the
other side, you knew that you earned each other's respect.
And uh, I think back to what Army Navy really
means personally, and I and I think it was just
that it was our opportunity to showcase, you know, not
(24:43):
just to the to the country watching that you know,
your your Naval Academy West Point are you know, individuals
who are willing to go fight and and care deeply
about something and represent something meaningful. But at the end
of the day, you were you were proving to the
other side that you were worthy of their service and
(25:06):
their sacrifice. And that's something that I think I hold
on to when it comes to Army Navy.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's appropriate to answer.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I love that and if I can follow up, I
talked to the other guys.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
About this as well.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The week of preparation you know, I'm talking about singing
second at the end of the game, and just everything that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Goes into it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Like what was the week of prep, Like, was it
different than other games you played?
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah, So when I was at the Academy, we had
a usually had like a two or three week lead
up to Army Navy because it's it's a it's a
game that's after all the conference games. We were independent,
So you had this we called it Army Camp and
the guys who were who were running scout team got
a stripe on their helmet like they were Army players.
(25:43):
And you know it was it was two or three
weeks of padded practices and uh, you know, really it
was it was a second camp, and you know it
was it was that game that you knew. You went
to the Naval Academy to play, to play in that game,
and when you prepare for that, it's it's a different level.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I mean, I think back I was more nervous for
Army Avy.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Games than I think I was for Super Bowls. And
and that's.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The absolute truth.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
It's knowing the nation's watching you and your fellow service
members are watching you, and not wanting to let them
down and then you know, all of that, of course,
is in the midst of finals going on.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
So so that was.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
In the midst of me worrying about my physics and
chemistry finals, which that was a whole other beast. I
think I'd much rather, I'd much rather do ten Army
camps than than take another physics final.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So yeah, there was no shortage.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Of challenge, which I think which realistically you want for
your service academies is you want those individuals to face
challenges on the field off the field, and playing Army
might be the biggest besides of course the chemistry final.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
For me, Well, you've kind of said it all here,
so I'll just finish with this. Any predictions for the
game on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
I mean, my prediction for Army Navy has always that
it's gonna be the quickest game of the year because
it's two teams that run the ball well, you know,
but I think it's it's gonna be a hard, funt
game with both sides showcasing you know, young men that
are willing to go fight for something they believe in, and.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You know, ultimately the outcome and what comes out.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Is it's gonna be a victory for America, but I
think Navy's gonna take care of another field.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That's great. Man, appreciate you.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I am here with Dolphins linebacker Andre Carter and Andre
big game coming up this weekend for the Miami Dolphins,
but also for your alma mater, the Army Navy game.
I just want to first off by asking you about
your memories of playing in the Big Game, the game
of the day on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
What's your memory from playing an Army Navy.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
My biggest memory is probably probably just everything leading up
to it, like the whole season. That's kind of all
worth thinking about as the team, Like we got clocks everywhere,
you know, the countdown to the game, and everywhere you
look in the facility, and the facility is beat Navy,
Beat Navy. And then that's how we break it down
every time. So it's kind of like all summer, all
(28:23):
season lead leads up to that game and then the
game finally happens. So definitely, just all the work is
what I remember going into it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
My favorite part about it is like the throwback nature
of it. You know, a couple of triple option teams
out there, what can you tell us about just how
different that game is with two teams that run the
type of offense compared to like the way football is
nowadays where it's you know, throw the ball all over
the yard.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Yeah, it's completely different. You got a lot, I feel
like you got a lot more to think about as
far as like defensively, you just got to worry about
doing your job, not trying to get outside of yourself
and really just play your part in the defense. Because
if you start trying to do other people's jobs and
you they got a big playoff in that game, ten
(29:03):
yards feels like a touchdown, almost getting the first down, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Because the game is typically like a thirteen fourteen slugfest route.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
So when you think about what was your record there
when you were at Army two, Okay, is there a
specific memory that stands out above the rest for you?
Speaker 9 (29:17):
Probably on the field, Yeah, probably my senior year. Last one.
I think it was the only only overtime game or
like the first and a long time, but weir was
tied in overtime where when we scored first overtime, they scored,
and then the second overtime we got they got down
like the one yard line and then we got a
(29:38):
fumble to stop them, and then next drive we hit
a hit a field goal, So that one was that
one was my best memory.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Good stuff. Any predictions for the game on Saturday.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
Army win.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I appreciate you appreciate all right.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I'm here with Dolphins linebacker Jimmy Charlo and Jimmy also
a veteran of the Army Academy, and I just spoke
to Andre about his experience there. What can you tell
me about playing with Andre at at Army and then
here with Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I mean, it's something that's honestly incredibly special. I don't
know if we've had two Army guys play together on
the same team at the same time in the league.
So it's something that's really special. We keep, we keep
talking to each other about how great it is to have,
you know, somebody who we spent that much time with
in college now be in the same locker room. And
not only were we on the same team, but we
were in the same position room in college, so a
lot of time spent together then. And then obviously continuing that, now, do.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You have a specific memory from the games that you
played against Navy that stands.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Out above the rest I mean there's a ton My
senior year just the entire game was obviously really great
to go out with a win versus them. But I
would have to say my junior year was the first
ever game, I think to go to overtime and our kicker,
Quinn Moretski drilled one at the end. We had a
big goal line stand ball got knocked out at the
one yard line, and then obviously, like I said, our
(30:50):
kicker Quinn Moretsky nailed one through the uprights.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I'll never forget that. That takes the kick.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
He said the exact same thing, by the way, And
then after the game, you guys kind of have like
the what do you call it, the tradition of like,
you know, the both team stay on the field, right,
and you like you I sing to the band.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Whatever, Like tell me about that, like what that experience
is like for you.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Oh yeah, so you got you sing your alma mater
and and basically the way it goes is the winner
sing second. So that's like a motto through the offseason.
We have T shirts that's say sing second. We have
it hanging throughout the facility on different signs and whatnot.
But honestly, pretty chilling even even when you hear navies,
you know, like how invested there there the midship been
(31:30):
are for them, and how invested the core cadets are
for us, and how much goes into the game outside
of just the players, coaches and people involved directly with
the football team. But it's it's an entire culture. It's
the entire Army, it's the entire Navy, it's much more,
you know, So it's it's really special. Honestly, if you
ever had the chance to be there, it'll give you
chills to.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Go to one h I've only watched on TV.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I love it's appointment feeling every single year.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Any predictions for the game on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Listen, I'm I'm predicting an Army win for sure, But
if you ask Joe, he'd probably tell you something different.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Joe sorrn't wouldn't give me a scorre to the exact same, thanks,
you guys are in Lockstown. What's that you guys are
in locks Ups. He's the exact same answer with the
favorite memory. You wouldn't give me a score. He just
told me that I'm just gonna win the game.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
And like I said, we spent a lot of time together.
So thank exactly alike. I guess it's touch.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I appreciate you men, think yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
All Right, there we go a little bit different episode
of the podcast here today.
Speaker 1 (32:17):

I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show,
we have a busy Friday episode for you. Our Walter
Payton Man of the Year club winner Bradley Chubb joins
me to talk a little bit of football, his service,
his many programs, and so much more. I also hung
out with the rookies at the Adopt a Family event
(00:32):
on Wednesday night. We're gonna hear from Trader and Phillips
on that we'll pick the week fifteen games. And then
one more player led segment. I caught up with Joe Cardona,
Andre Carter, and Jimmy charlow All who played their football
at Army or Navy ahead of this year's annual Army
Navy game. From the Baptist Hill Studios inside the Baptist
Heal Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast. Kye Daffy,
(00:59):
what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Dolphins?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welcome back into that episode of Dolphins HQ right here
in the Baptist Hell Studios. Our guest today the astronaut
bea Chub, Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Thanks for joining us today, man, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So one of the things I wanted to ask you
to start the show here is I feel like nobody
ever asked players like just how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You're number eight, week fifteen. How are you feeling?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Feeling good? You know, all things considered. You know, the
course of the season, you get a little sowred, you
get a little tired. But we're blessed to do this, man,
And last year I wasn't able to do this. So
any chance I get to be out there with my
guys feel the sore iness from a game, you know
what I mean? I take it all I don't take
none of it for great. I take it all in
and try to appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'm sure a four game winning streak certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Helpsis and bruises Hill up a little bit there lot faster,
for sure. What's been one of the keys of that
for you guys turning things around here get on a
hot streak.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Camaraderie, I would say, you know, just guys buying into
each other, not just the scheme, like, yeah, the scheme
is the thing, but buying into the guy next to you,
understanding him on a personal level, trying to be the
best version of ourselves for each other, and I feel like,
you know, just that's been keeping us going. You know,
everybody is playing for somebody, and it's been fun to.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
See sometimes whether I'm also the meeting room Russell of
the locker, might hear the player name chance the Bradley
Chubb Club.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
How did that originate it?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Honestly, it originated by us just like just playing around, man,
trying to get some energy into the meeting room. And
we did it in the meeting room, and then somebody
made a play. I forgot who was the first one
to make the play, and we did it on the sideline,
and it's been carrying on ever since, man, And it's
just like I said, it's just everybody buying in together.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We want to make a play because we want to
hear our name chanting on the sideline from.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
All the guys.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Inspires everybody to do better.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So the main reason we have Bradley Chubb on today
is that you are our Walter Payton Club winner this
year for twenty twenty five. And I just want to
start off by asking you, like what that means to you,
because this is one of the greatest honors any player
can receive in football.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Have you had some time to reflect upon that.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, it means a lot to me. Not only to me,
but you know, my family as well. We put a
lot into the Chubb Foundation, trying to ever since twenty seventeen,
trying to get it up and running. Man, my brother
was the person on the forefront doing everything while I
was still in college and he was in the NFL,
And so we don't do it for cognition, but when
you get recognized for your efforts, it's always a blessing man,
(03:04):
and it just propels us to do even more. You know,
the spotlight is on us now and we want to
make sure we continue to change lives as much as
we can.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Let's talk more about the Chub Foundation, because I had
that in my notes here, and you, your brother and
your mom all part of it and just the best
type of family business you can imagine. Right, But you
mentioned twenty seventeen, you're in college. There's not a lot
of amateurs out there thinking about like you know, it's
mostly about how can I get to that next level
you're already planning for, Like how can I make an
impact in my community at the next level?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Tell us about how that came to be so young
in your career.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, it honestly started with my family man, my mom
and dad as we were kids. You know, they just
planning the seeds of you know, serving others and to
me and my brother, and you know, every Sunday after
church we would go feed the homeless. And then my
mom she does she runs with this group called Back
on My Feet, who you know, services people battling addiction, helped,
like just runs with them throughout the city of Atlanta,
(03:54):
helping them get back on their feet and back to
normal life. And you know, just seeing how my parents serve,
it just instilled that into me and my brother and
we wanted to do the same things. And he had
the platform first, being in the NFL first, so he
got the ball rolling, and we both know we wanted
to do that with our name and with our legacy
and keep it carrying on. So just he got the
ball rolling, like I said, and when I came in,
(04:16):
it's just all full steam ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Your resume here of like programming, it's it's impressive and
it obviously shows why you are the Walter Payton Man
of the Year for the Miami Dolphins this year. The
Chubb Club Tour, moving the needle, name of the game
chess in real life, the backpack giveaway. Like I'm reading
all these things and I'm thinking, do you ever sleep?
But in all seriousness, like this is a relentless passion
for you obviously means so much to you.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So like what's the why?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Why is that so important to be so involved and
to be so widespread in all the things that you do.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I feel like it's important just to give kids a
head start in life, you know, like you said, the
different program than we do. Like the name of the
game chess. That's that was the dopest class I've been
a part of, you know, seeing how the teacher Bobby
would take the game of chess, break it down. So
we're just playing with the pawns today, like get the
pond to the other side, and this is about how
you moving through life. You got to sacrifice some things
(05:04):
to get to where you want to go, Like, and
you know the kids would be in there trying to
take the pawns and stuff. He's like, that's not the game.
The game is to get the pond to the other side.
So you can't let other things you want in life
distract you, you know what I mean, just those life
lessons within the game, and then you know, the financial literacy,
being able to learn how to control your money before
you even have money. You know, these kids don't, they're
(05:24):
not getting paychecks or anything, but when they do start
getting in the workforce, it's going to be important for
them to you know, take care of that, build that
generational wealth. And you know, it's just one of those
things just gonna give kids ahead start in life and
understand that the world is the oyster. They could do
whatever they want with it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I love it, man, because like sports and games, it's
the best like metaphor for life, right, Like you can
learn so much through through sports and games. I'm sure
you kind of had that feeling coming up as a kid,
being a star athlete.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
When you were younger, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, honestly, I feel like football's for me has been
the best like life lesson. You learn adversity, you learn teamwork,
you learn accountability, you know all those things. And that
was my sport. But you know, trying to give these
kids another outlet to see these these same same qualities
of a person.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I think it's displayed when we see you you know,
running through camps with your your fellow you know, campes
or whatever you call it. But like the passion that
you show in those camps, like three hour long camps.
You're dripping in sweat. Why is it so important? Because
like you know, not to like call anybody out, but
sometimes these camps get ran and the guys that kind
of stands off to the side, the litt kids run
thing the drills, but you're out there like blood, sweat
and tears of the kids.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Why is it so important to be so involved as
a participant for you?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's important for me, man, because you know, these kids
probably won't get the opportunity with the NFL player, with
the college player, with you know, the opportunity is endless.
Like me being out there that could change the trajectory
of their whole life. And that's how I see it.
It might not, it might, but at the end of
the day, I know I gave that kid out all
that day and there's something to go talk about forever.
And it's a blessing when I see when I go
to the Boys and Girls Club or if I'm just
(06:48):
walking around, I see somebody with the Junior Dolphins Chop Foundation,
T shirt from the camp. I'm like, oh, you were there,
you had a good time, blah blah blah, and they
are dying to talk about it. So, you know, just
whenever you get a chance to impact somebody, that's my
form of you know, I like to play football. I
like to play around half one and be a kid
in that sense. So to enjoy that with them is
very special.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Did you have one of those when you were younger,
like a formative moment with an athlete or player that
came to your school or something that kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Not necessarily came to my school, but my brother and
I were We were huge Georgia Bulldolph fans because both
my parents were there. My dad played there, and you know,
we did those camps. They had like overnight camps back then.
I don't know if they still do, but it was
the Mark Rick football camp and the players from the
from the team would come out there do different drills
with us. We had will stay in the dorms, we'll
eat the food that they eat, and you just felt
(07:34):
like a Georgia football player. And you know, I remember
guys like no Sean Marino being out there, Matthew Stafford
being out there. They probably don't remember it, but you know,
I still talk about it to this day. So that's
why I want to have that same impact on these kids.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The Seattle Marris Caravan came to my school as a kid,
Kingerfory junior. I was like, what what is going on now?
Griffy is right in front of me. This was the
best day of my life. We talked about your mom
and your brother a little bit earlier. That video we
put on social media of you reading letters. Well, my
fair pieces of content we've done here with the Miami
Dolphin and your mom. Man, she's got some bars.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, that's some bars for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So I have the line right here. Astronauts don't go
to space to pump themselves up. They go to bring
something back that could change the world. Like I'm a
pretty good writer, Bradley, I couldn't write that, Like, tell
us about that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Now. She's been doing the thing.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
My mom has been somebody in the educational field who
has been on my tail since I was a kid,
you know what I mean. And when I'm writing papers, No,
you can make that better, do that a lot better.
I'm up til twelve am trying to write these papers
back into elementary school, in middle school and stuff like that.
And you know, she always supposed ess to be great,
so I wasn't surprised when I was doing her bars
in the paper for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's great to hear. Man. That's my favorite part of
the entire video.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You mentioned twenty twenty four a minute ago, how you
weren't able to be out there on the field obviously,
And I saw this tweet from one of my favorite
fans of ours on Twitter where he was showing you
signing autographs before a game last season, and I just
think it says a lot about who you are, man,
Like you're grinding through one of the toughest things an
athlete can endure, right rehabbing getting back on the field.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's a rare quality.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And I'm not just like trying to make you blush here,
but I want to understand like where that from, because
it goes back to the three hour camps and just
the multiple initiatives, like service is always at the front
of your mind, Like what started that?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Just understanding my opportunity, understanding where I'm at, understanding that
I don't have to be here, I don't have to
be a professional football player. But God put me in
this position to inspire others, and that's what I try
to do each and every day. Like last year, I'm
not playing in the game, so I might as well
make a kid smile. I might as well sign something
for somebody to, you know, like I said, so they
can have that memory for the rest of their lives.
(09:30):
And it goes back just to my parents are still
in that and too. It's like serving others before yourself
and and uh, you know, using your light, you're blessing
to bless others.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's it's so cool man to learn about all your
involvement all these programs. Just tip of the cap to you, man,
and congrats on this honor.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Once again.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I'll close with this because it reminds me of your
your teammate last year, alec Ingold, who was a couple
of Time nominee here with the Miami Dolphins. You guys
have a lot in common that way. I have to
imagine you guys have had a few chats about service
and how how can you know a team approach to
community impact, Like how can that you know, be something
you could you can get bind?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Oh yeah, for sure. Talk to Alec. A lot of
times about just the things he does in the community.
He's always very supportive of the foundation. I'm supportive of
his as well. And we all have our own different resources.
So you know, if we all gather our minds together
and go out there into the community, and I might
be doing a certain program and Alec might not be doing,
but he has the resources for another program. We could
(10:23):
join those forces and you know, and be the best,
the best team in the NFL at that off the field.
And it's not just me and him that do the things.
You know, Guys like Zach Seeler who's with the Safe
Haven Foundation. He's a outdoor focused but you know, sometimes
kids want to go outdoor. Sometimes the kids I have
want to do different opportunities like that. So it's for
sure things we could we could expand our horizons and
(10:45):
all work together, for sure for the greater good.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Has that gone you out there to do any of
the outdoor stuff now?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, I keep telling them I'm going out there, but
it never worked out. But I'm for sure going.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
To do it this off season with him, some some
gladesman activity right out there with the algaion and stuff.
I'm scared, but yeah, I'm gonna Bradley Chubb, you're twenty
twenty five Miami Dolphins, Walter Payton Mann of the Year
club winner. All right, there goes Bradley. Let's go ahead
and take our first break.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Right there.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Come back on the other side, we'll hear from Dante
Trader and Jordan Phillips, who both played Santa claus on
Wednesday night. We'll also pick the week fifteen games. That's
next Draft Time podcast, brought to you by AutoNation. Week
fifteen in the National Football League, and what a glorious
week it is. What a fun week to have a
Monday night game on where you can sit back on Sunday. Well,
(11:30):
you guys probably do this all the time anyways, But
for my purposes, I get to sit back and watch
ten hours of football on Sunday. Actually, I'll probably just
skip the sun night game and watch something else because
Dallas and Vike and Minnesota yuck. But the one o'clock
and four o'clock slates are outstanding this week. We went
ten and four last week, one thirty six, fifty seven
(11:52):
and one on the season. Trying to close strong here
over the final four weeks to get back to seventy
two percent where like seventy point four right now. So
need to have a strong finish here to get back
into the goal range of what we're trying to do
here in the picks. But ultimately no one cares, right
I care. That's about it. Let's go ahead and cue
the music. We picked the Bucks over the Falcons on
(12:13):
the Thursday. Felt pretty good about that one. We'll see
how that goes. I'm taking the Ravens over the Bengals
against my better judgment. Did you guys see the Joe
Burrow press conference from Wednesday? My week's all off this
week from Wednesday, where he talked about the joy of
football and whether or not you have that joy seemed
a little ominous, in the same way Carson Palmer's end
(12:35):
of his time with the Bengals was ominous.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I'm not saying anything, just think it's worth tracking.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And I feel like the Bengals could easily win this game,
even though they kind of had that deflating loss last week.
And the Ravens are off of a really tough loss.
But they're going to have to find a victory here
against the Bengals and going forward winning some more games
ahead of that Week eighteen game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
So I will stay with the Ravens, who were my
Super Bowl pick, who had injuries derail them early on.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But they're just not a great team this year.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Sometimes I guess that just happens in this league, and
we're seeing here with a perennial juggernaut in the Ravens.
I'll take them to get back on the winning track
this week to get to seventy seven. I'll take the
Eagles over the Raiders. The Eagles broke all of our
hearts on Monday night, could have made our playoff path
actually somewhat feasible.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now not as much.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
But they will get a bounce back win here over
the moribund Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Houston over the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
That's one that you could look at as a potential
big swing upset if you get that one. There's kind
of like a game back on type of deal in
this playoff race. But the Cardinals are essentially getting their
doors blown off of them and then they throw the
ball sixty times the rest of the way and break records.
It's like the weirdest season I've ever seen in my life.
With old Jake Brisket, the Texas win that game easily.
(13:48):
In my opinion, I'm taking the Chiefs over the Chargers
that I probably have. I would say my record picking
Chargers games is probably my worst team to pick this year,
because they keep on winning these games some way, somehow.
I mean, they won an overtime after getting what was
it six Eagles takeaways in that contest. Like, it's getting
pretty crazy, the amount of luck. That felt like the
(14:10):
game that I've talked about a million times in the
show last year, the Falcons game when they got Kirk
Cousins turned it over four times and the Chargers won
by like sixteen to thirteen by a field goal late
in that game. I'll take the Chiefs to keep their
season alive and to give the Dolphins a modicum of hope.
If you get that result, you would essentially need at
ten and seven the Chiefs to they have to lose
their game to the Broncos because they have the Raiders,
(14:32):
and like the Titans are the other two games, so
the Chiefs if they win this one, all of a sudden,
the Chiefs are a Broncos went away from ten to seven,
and they would knock you out as well. But you
needn't help you here by knocking the Chargers down a peg. Look,
it's gonna be tough for the reason. It's like seventeen
percent right now, even if the Dolphins go ten and seven.
So give me the Chiefs over the Chargers. I'll take
the Bills over the Patriots. I flipped this pick. I
(14:52):
was gonna go Patriots. But I think Buffalo is kind
of finding themselves a little bit. The defense still has
you know, a lot of warts and you know, but
Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen's going to access his
best footballs he typically does this time of year, and
I think they're gonna take down a Patriots team that
has played very good football, is a very good team
but has had a nice little cruise control schedule since
(15:13):
the Bills game. I think Buffalo gets revenge here and
splits the season series. Jacksonville over the Jets. Obviously, I'm
taking the Giants over the Commanders. Commanders are a good
cautionary tale right about how quickly things can change, both
in the upswing. You know, this time last year they
were fighting to make the playoffs. Then you win two
playoff games and it changes the entire perception of your organization.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And rightfully so.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But then you come back this year and your quarterback
exits four games where he misses the rest of the game,
and then this is the following game that was Jayden
Daniels and not coming out of college and why I
was so like against the idea of him as a
high draft pick out of college. Then he played so
well into preseason and that in front of me in
practice and in the season that I was like, Okay, yeah,
(15:57):
that's a superstar quarterback. But now here we are again,
and that is probably one hundred and ninety five pounds
and throw throws his body around. You know it's not
gonna You're not gonna last doing that. And the quarterback
on the other side that I'm picking to win this
game for the Giants does the exact same thing. So
Giants over Commanders here as the Commanders try to play
out the string of a lost, miserable season, I'm taking
the Bears over the Browns, although I don't I think
(16:23):
both these quarterbacks aren't gonna like playing in that game,
which is looking like Dolphins and Chiefs almost to a
certain degree in terms of the weather in Chicago. But
the Bears are a better football teams will go Chicago there.
I'm taking the Saints over the Panthers. I think the
Saints defense is pretty damn good and Tyler Shuck has
shown some things. I think they could easily sweep the
Panthers and the spot not buying down the Panthers at
(16:43):
all this season.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
What a weird team they've been.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
The Rams and Lions was one of the toughest picks
for me of the week.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I'm taking the Rams. I think they are a better team.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
They've also had the Lions number in this post Stafford
like rivalry, you know, type of matchup, and I think
the Lions are gonna start playing, as we saw last week,
some better football here. But I just think the Rams
are too good and they had their slip up and
so I think they're going to be on the right track.
Rams over Lions to really make the Lions playoff chances
hurting after this week. I'll take the Seahawks over the Colts.
(17:14):
I am excited to watch Philip Rivers. I can't lie
to you about that, but it's not going to be pretty.
Seahawks are one of the best teams and defenses in
football up in Seattle and bad weather that should be
a pretty ugly one there for the Colts. Who the
Dolphins need to lose that game if they're going to
have any chance. Packers over the Broncos. What a fun
game that is. I mean, my goodness, Jordan Love against
that defense. And Bo Nix is playing like I talked
(17:36):
about him being a bottom half of the league quarterback.
He's like number twenty two in EPA for dropback this
year and they're still winning a bunch of games despite.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Having pretty bad quarterback play.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't think you get away with it here against
the Packers and Micah Parsons though, So I'll take the
Packers to win this one. Niners over the Titans obviously,
Cowboys over the Vikings obviously. And I don't feel great
about this. I'm picking with my is my heart and
my I don't even know anymore. I took the Steelers
over the Dolphins, but I don't feel great about it.
So what does that tell you?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Who knows? Let's go ahead and get out of the picks.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Cut the music and let's go ahead and hear from
Jordan Phillips and Dante Trader, who were two of like
just kind of standing off for the side and watching
the players interact with the kids. Don't get me wrong,
Ollie Gordon was awesome. Bunch of the guys were awesome
with the kids. But Jordan Phillips was just different and
I saw a different side of him in this event.
And Dante Trader is always so good with all these
things too. So let's go ahead and hear from Jordan
(18:27):
Phillips and Dante Trader who were at the Adoptive Family
event where they essentially every rookie goes out and shops
for gifts off of these two families wishless for Christmas,
and they buy all the gifts, they have dinner with them,
they open the gifts. It's an awesome event. I tweeted
about it on Wednesday night. Go check it out if
you haven't seen it. Let's go ahead and start here
with Jordan Phillips and then Dante Trader.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
This was really what it's all about. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
The Holidays at a time to bring in fellowship, love
and family, and that's what the Dolphins is about.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The whole organization.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, you were.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Handing out those gifts. You're kind of the forefront of
all of it, making some big smiles. They could tell
us how that felt to see all these kids faces
line up like that.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Man, they felt really good, you know what I'm saying.
Like when I was younger, my mom, she had a
hard time providing for us on Christmas Day, and so
you know, we just want to make it easier for everybody,
for all families involved. You know, no matter where you're from,
who you are, you know, we you know, at the
end of the day, we're just trying to impact other
people and put smiles on other people faces. And it
was a great feeling to see that we accomplished that tonight,
(19:25):
just seeing the smiles.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So you guys went out and purchase the gifts yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What did you What were some of the things that
you picked up?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Man, I got the bike, iPad, the clothes, the cars.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
But it's not about that, you know, it's just about
providing for the community.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And you know, as long.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
As I could see to walk this earth, that's something
that I strive to do, is help others out because
at the end of the day, it's bigger than us,
you know, it's about helping the next person out, about
developing the next generation and helping the next family.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
So that's really what it's about.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Absolutely to that point, where did you learn about some
of the families and kids there, because you guys had
a meal with them before we did the gifts exchange.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
What was that experience?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Man? It was great.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Man.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
You know, We've got a chance to you know, see
some of the grades that the kids are making, and
you know what I'm saying, play some card games and
build some puzzles and do some arts and crafts. It
was all around such a great experience just to figure out,
you know, the kids and their lives and see their interests.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
It was really good. Though.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You have you ever been like a mall Santa Claus
or anything right before, because I feel like you have
that in your future if you wanted.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Hey, you know, I ain't never been one, but you know,
I'm opening. I'm open to be a mall Santa Claus
or something. As long as I could put a smile
on somebody else's face. That's all I care about. So
you know that's what it's about.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's Jordan Phillips Shortan thanks man.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh yeah, yess h.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We are here with Dolphins rookie safety Dante Cherir at
the Rookie Adopted Family Event.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Can you just tell us what we're doing here tonight? Like,
what's the whole purpose the event?
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Whole purpose is definitely to give back to the community,
but also give experience to kids that they may not
always have to have gifts and NFL players in the
same presence, things that they wanted, things they didn't know
they were getting. Being able to alleviate some pressure off
of a family is really about the holiday experience.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Giving back.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Man.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
You know, our whole class was just love being out here.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
The smiles on the faces from the kids and the
parents just we you know, they'll always.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Remember that memory. I know, I wish I had something
like this when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So, yeah, what's the shopping experience like?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
So you guys learn about the event, you guys go
out and get your own gifts.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What was that like among the rookie class.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Oh, it was grabbing go that's it. It was.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
We were clearing all the aisles. It was hilarious. It
was fun.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Did you guys go together?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh, we went together.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
We were really competing everything we do with compete versus the
offense defense, and as we're going out, we're just crossing aisles.
Oh they need this, they need this, We're just grabbing it.
And it was a fun experience to you know, shop
for somebody other than ourselves and our families. So we
know we want to do it big, and that's what
we did. So me saying grab and go was just, Hey,
they might need it, they may not.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
We're grabbing it regardless.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So doesn't matter. Was fun, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So I was kind of on the outside when you
guys doing the gift exchange.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I couldn't really see the faces of the kids, but
I heard the oohs and ahs.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Take us inside when those kids were over for those
gifts real quickly.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
That was like that it was a timeless experience.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
I would say that time slowed down seeing the kids'
faces light up and seeing their their gifts, and the
the parents' faces too when their kids are getting the gifts,
and you know they they really appreciated it and just
you know, they were just excided just to.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Be having the gifts they wanted.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
And you know, just seeing all the NFL players is
around and it was a great experience for everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So we've talked a few times on the podcast here
just about some some personal things like it seems like
service is a pretty big deal to you, and that's
a big deal for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Just tell us a little bit about your experience, you know,
in your first year.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Here of giving back to the community and doing so.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Much for the South Florida community.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Yeah, I've always given back, but I say I've really
been impacted by guys like Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I helped his event today.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
I just was like, Yo, tag me along and just
how I can learn the ropes up a bigger skill.
So it's just amazing to see players that are so
elite on the field and elie off the field.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And that's the type of person I want to be.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
And you know, everybody that's on this team and Dolphins,
we want to do it the right way. So yeah, stats,
you want to go play, but we really.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Care about how you impact people off the field. So
your impact off the.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Field is a part of your legacy and a big
part of your legacy.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
So how will you remember? How will we be remembered?
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Other than the last name on your jersey, which you know,
in a sense, it really doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
It's the community around you that.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It really matters, you know, Jim dude. Thanks, all right,
there we go. That was fun.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Let's go ahead and take our last break right there.
Come back on the other side. If you're a college
football fiend, Army Navy is a big deal. Every single year.
We're gonna hear from three players in the Dolphins locker
room that were part of that game, part of the
service academies, Joe Cardona, Jimmy Carlow, and Andre Carter. That's
Next Draft Time podcast, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I am joined by.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Dolphins long snapper Joe Cardona and Joe I talked to
the two Army guys and they're both younger guys on
the earlier side of this rivalry. So I asked them
their favorite memories of the rivalry Army and Navy, and
they mentioned the overtime game a couple of years ago.
I'll ask you the same question, what's your favorite memory
from the.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Time you played in the game, you know, being a
little bit removed from it, I think my big memories Obviously,
I was very fortunate to be on some very good
Navy teams.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
We ended up winning four games against.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Army, but the specific outcomes don't stand out to me.
The real memory of the games is just how hard
fought those those games were. You know, it was a knockout,
drag out fight, and you know, but at the same time,
each team had the utmost respect for every single player
(24:17):
on the opposing team.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And when the.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Final whistle blew and Zeros are up on the clock,
you know when you when you shook hands at the
other side, you knew that you earned each other's respect.
And uh, I think back to what Army Navy really
means personally, and I and I think it was just
that it was our opportunity to showcase, you know, not
(24:43):
just to the to the country watching that you know,
your your Naval Academy West Point are you know, individuals
who are willing to go fight and and care deeply
about something and represent something meaningful. But at the end
of the day, you were you were proving to the
other side that you were worthy of their service and
(25:06):
their sacrifice. And that's something that I think I hold
on to when it comes to Army Navy.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's appropriate to answer.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I love that and if I can follow up, I
talked to the other guys.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
About this as well.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The week of preparation you know, I'm talking about singing
second at the end of the game, and just everything that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Goes into it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Like what was the week of prep, Like, was it
different than other games you played?
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah, So when I was at the Academy, we had
a usually had like a two or three week lead
up to Army Navy because it's it's a it's a
game that's after all the conference games. We were independent,
So you had this we called it Army Camp and
the guys who were who were running scout team got
a stripe on their helmet like they were Army players.
(25:43):
And you know it was it was two or three
weeks of padded practices and uh, you know, really it
was it was a second camp, and you know it
was it was that game that you knew. You went
to the Naval Academy to play, to play in that game,
and when you prepare for that, it's it's a different level.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I mean, I think back I was more nervous for
Army Avy.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Games than I think I was for Super Bowls. And
and that's.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The absolute truth.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
It's knowing the nation's watching you and your fellow service
members are watching you, and not wanting to let them
down and then you know, all of that, of course,
is in the midst of finals going on.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
So so that was.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
In the midst of me worrying about my physics and
chemistry finals, which that was a whole other beast. I
think I'd much rather, I'd much rather do ten Army
camps than than take another physics final.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So yeah, there was no shortage.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Of challenge, which I think which realistically you want for
your service academies is you want those individuals to face
challenges on the field off the field, and playing Army
might be the biggest besides of course the chemistry final.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
For me, Well, you've kind of said it all here,
so I'll just finish with this. Any predictions for the
game on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
I mean, my prediction for Army Navy has always that
it's gonna be the quickest game of the year because
it's two teams that run the ball well, you know,
but I think it's it's gonna be a hard, funt
game with both sides showcasing you know, young men that
are willing to go fight for something they believe in, and.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You know, ultimately the outcome and what comes out.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Is it's gonna be a victory for America, but I
think Navy's gonna take care of another field.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That's great. Man, appreciate you.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I am here with Dolphins linebacker Andre Carter and Andre
big game coming up this weekend for the Miami Dolphins,
but also for your alma mater, the Army Navy game.
I just want to first off by asking you about
your memories of playing in the Big Game, the game
of the day on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
What's your memory from playing an Army Navy.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
My biggest memory is probably probably just everything leading up
to it, like the whole season. That's kind of all
worth thinking about as the team, Like we got clocks everywhere,
you know, the countdown to the game, and everywhere you
look in the facility, and the facility is beat Navy,
Beat Navy. And then that's how we break it down
every time. So it's kind of like all summer, all
(28:23):
season lead leads up to that game and then the
game finally happens. So definitely, just all the work is
what I remember going into it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
My favorite part about it is like the throwback nature
of it. You know, a couple of triple option teams
out there, what can you tell us about just how
different that game is with two teams that run the
type of offense compared to like the way football is
nowadays where it's you know, throw the ball all over
the yard.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Yeah, it's completely different. You got a lot, I feel
like you got a lot more to think about as
far as like defensively, you just got to worry about
doing your job, not trying to get outside of yourself
and really just play your part in the defense. Because
if you start trying to do other people's jobs and
you they got a big playoff in that game, ten
(29:03):
yards feels like a touchdown, almost getting the first down, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Because the game is typically like a thirteen fourteen slugfest route.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
So when you think about what was your record there
when you were at Army two, Okay, is there a
specific memory that stands out above the rest for you?
Speaker 9 (29:17):
Probably on the field, Yeah, probably my senior year. Last one.
I think it was the only only overtime game or
like the first and a long time, but weir was
tied in overtime where when we scored first overtime, they scored,
and then the second overtime we got they got down
like the one yard line and then we got a
(29:38):
fumble to stop them, and then next drive we hit
a hit a field goal, So that one was that
one was my best memory.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Good stuff. Any predictions for the game on Saturday.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
Army win.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I appreciate you appreciate all right.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I'm here with Dolphins linebacker Jimmy Charlo and Jimmy also
a veteran of the Army Academy, and I just spoke
to Andre about his experience there. What can you tell
me about playing with Andre at at Army and then
here with Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
I mean, it's something that's honestly incredibly special. I don't
know if we've had two Army guys play together on
the same team at the same time in the league.
So it's something that's really special. We keep, we keep
talking to each other about how great it is to have,
you know, somebody who we spent that much time with
in college now be in the same locker room. And
not only were we on the same team, but we
were in the same position room in college, so a
lot of time spent together then. And then obviously continuing that, now, do.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You have a specific memory from the games that you
played against Navy that stands.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Out above the rest I mean there's a ton My
senior year just the entire game was obviously really great
to go out with a win versus them. But I
would have to say my junior year was the first
ever game, I think to go to overtime and our kicker,
Quinn Moretski drilled one at the end. We had a
big goal line stand ball got knocked out at the
one yard line, and then obviously, like I said, our
(30:50):
kicker Quinn Moretsky nailed one through the uprights.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I'll never forget that. That takes the kick.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
He said the exact same thing, by the way, And
then after the game, you guys kind of have like
the what do you call it, the tradition of like,
you know, the both team stay on the field, right,
and you like you I sing to the band.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Whatever, Like tell me about that, like what that experience
is like for you.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Oh yeah, so you got you sing your alma mater
and and basically the way it goes is the winner
sing second. So that's like a motto through the offseason.
We have T shirts that's say sing second. We have
it hanging throughout the facility on different signs and whatnot.
But honestly, pretty chilling even even when you hear navies,
you know, like how invested there there the midship been
(31:30):
are for them, and how invested the core cadets are
for us, and how much goes into the game outside
of just the players, coaches and people involved directly with
the football team. But it's it's an entire culture. It's
the entire Army, it's the entire Navy, it's much more,
you know, So it's it's really special. Honestly, if you
ever had the chance to be there, it'll give you
chills to.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Go to one h I've only watched on TV.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I love it's appointment feeling every single year.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Any predictions for the game on Saturday.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Listen, I'm I'm predicting an Army win for sure, But
if you ask Joe, he'd probably tell you something different.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Joe sorrn't wouldn't give me a scorre to the exact same, thanks,
you guys are in Lockstown. What's that you guys are
in locks Ups. He's the exact same answer with the
favorite memory. You wouldn't give me a score. He just
told me that I'm just gonna win the game.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
And like I said, we spent a lot of time together.
So thank exactly alike. I guess it's touch.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I appreciate you men, think yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
All Right, there we go a little bit different episode
of the podcast here today.
