(01:26):
Memorial Day. Yes, and obviously remembering to all the families.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, shouts out to all our fallen soldiers, and shouts
out to all of our fallen first responders. Shouts out
to anybody and everybody who has paid the ultimate price
for the freedoms that we take for granted so often
and so conveniently. But just know there are people who
are out here that are risking it all and have
(01:52):
lost their lives for us to have the freedoms to say,
home of the brave man, and it's the land of
the free. So shouts out to everyone who has done
something to to service our our communities and in our country.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
So Memorial Day, and I know that obviously near and
dear to your heart with your father serving and then
Brady as well to his dad Chopper. So yeah, I
know that this is obviously, uh a somber day, but
one to remember just everybody who paid that ultimate price
and sacrifice for all of us. So so yeah again, uh,
(02:31):
you know, thoughts to all of all of those and
and I hope people are you know, I don't know
if celebrating is the right word to use, but at least.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, celebrating is honoring. Celebrating is the right word. It is.
It's it's honoring, but it's also celebrating because a hero
and a soldier dies one but one death. A coward
dies many deaths. So to to lose your life in
the line of duty and while servicing, you definitely you
(03:05):
honor them, but you also celebrate them as well.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
What was it like growing up in a military family
the Memorial Day?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
How is it looked at, well.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
My whole my whole family, like my my mother's father
served in the army, my my my dad's father served
in the army.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
My dad's dad served in the army.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And all my uncles on my dad's side served in
in in military branches. We had Navy, we had UH
Air Force, and and so and obviously three three of
my well three all together my dad included was three,
my two of my uncles they were they were army
as well. So uh, for for us, that was just
(03:55):
a way of life, the way, the way our culture was.
When I got up in the morning, I was required
me and my brothers were required to make our beds
up a certain way. The measurement of the sheet, your
your your blanket had to be measured out correctly from
(04:17):
the floor. Uh, you had to vacuum your room, you
had you basically we basically lived in the barracks, you know,
growing up sometimes you know sometimes in my mother and
my father, they maintained a very very strict regiment of
getting up and getting things done. So no matter what
(04:39):
your schedule was, you had to get up at the
oh whatever hundred hours it was in our house.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And you was going to get up one way or
the other.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because my mom would come through the hallway with a
pot in a wooden a wooden sto you know, spoon,
and would actually be coming through the hallway like we
were in train and camp or something like that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
She'd be banging the pot until you get up.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
By the way, that should be an alarm app is
that if you go through your iPhone and there's a
given alarm sounds, that should be one of the sounds
they have.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What would they call that? Just the pot and spoon?
The old would wouldn't spoon into the.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Pot, wouldn't spoon into a pot because.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
To this day, I'll be interesting, I'll bet that would
wake you up out of a dead sleep.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
To this day, well, I would probably like lose my
s on whoever did it. I probably just because I'm
in a place now where I kind of have my
the schedule of the way I want to have it,
you know, and I can do pretty much how I
want to do things.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And and so if somebody were.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
To pull a prank like that on me or do
something like that, it would be a prank gone wrong,
like I might snap out, literally. But but here's the thing,
and I'm just now kind of putting this together like
right now, is if my mother hadn't did that, like
woke us up like sheep like Jonas, we we didn't
(06:08):
have to leave for school until I want to say,
somewhere around seven thirty. And then once my brother started
well I only got to it wasn't really once my
brother started driving, because.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It was because I was still in middle school when
he was when we went to the same school for
one year, but anyway, and he was driving. But once
he started driving, we left at like seven forty five,
seven point fifty. But before then, but before then, you know,
we'd leave at like seven thirty seven ish, and my
(06:44):
mom was waking us up at like four or five
am and we're getting up and it's like it's.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Four am, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And and we had to clean everything up, had to
make our own breakfast, we had to make our own lunches.
And you know what I started doing. I started getting
so efficient with my time. I started working out, and
that was like kind of how I created the people
used to ask me, well, what did you do to
(07:19):
develop and become this?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That and the other, and da da dah. I started
working out.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I would work out after school, but I started working
out before school. So after I clean up all my stuff,
I would go run or i'd go do I can
remember doing like one hundred push ups, one hundred sit ups,
and I'd go up. I go get on the stairs
and do like stare like up downs on the stairs
(07:44):
in our house.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
And you probably look forward to that more than making
the bed and doing all the other craft.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That you had to do. Bro, I I just started
working out.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't even know. I don't even know how. I
don't even know really how it started. That started happening,
but it kind of developed into because you had enough
time to kind of eat your breakfast and then like
really like go back to sleep for like forty some minutes.
You know, you had like a good forty and on
(08:14):
some days you have like an hour to go back
to sleep before you had to leave for school.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That's how early she woke us up. And I just started.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I started feeling the time with working out, Like I
literally was running the hill before I had to go
to school. Then I'd come back in, wash myself up,
get myself ready for school, and I was like vibrant,
like I was ready to go.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I appreciate you, mommy, but yeah, it was crazy, bro
Like in the moment, you don't really appreciate it. In fact,
I despised the fact that she never missed. She never missed,
Like you're not going to get that she slept in
like she never missed. You had to get up, get up,
(09:00):
and you're gonna hear the pot. She's gonna tell you.
She hit us with water a few times too. She's
stone cold.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
She's still here too, by the way, but she was
stone cold. She hit you with cold water, like whatever,
And then you gotta change your sheets. You gotta change them.
She told you to get up when it's time to
get up. First alarm is get up, time to get up?
And I can always remember the same smell because our
(09:27):
house wasn't big, so you knew it was almost time
to get up when you could start smelling like her perfume.
Oh yeah so because yeah, when she finishing up. When
she was finishing up, you smell.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
The perfume, the last last stage of getting ready, and
you knew yours right next.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
You knew you had to get up. You hear the names.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You start hearing the names, the roll call coming out,
and you knew you needed to get up.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Next thing, you.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Know, if everybody wasn't moving, you start hearing the pot
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom bike.
There you go, get your ass up and you get
to the point of where you don't want to hear
that pot, so get your ass up.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It is funny though. My mom was always an early
riser too.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
I remember being a kid and I always wanted I
always thought the coolest thing in the world was that
somebody would be up working in the dark and they
drop off like a cart and of milk on the
front doorstep, like the milkman would drop off, and there
would be like whatever you owed for that week, like
if you were getting a gallon of milk or whatever,
they would drop it off. And then I realized my
(10:34):
mom was always an early riser because she taught me
when I was And you don't even think about this
when you're younger. You're just like, I don't, what's the point.
But she taught me you can always get the most
done first thing in the morning, when you can actually
get to it. So like when you like, she would
go to the grocery store first thing in the morning.
She would do like, anything she needed to do, she
(10:56):
would always try and do it first thing in the morning.
Because once the day starts, then it's out of your hands.
It's like the old expression, run the day, don't let
the day run you like it, just like once the
day starts, things start popping up. But yeah, like you don't.
You don't realize it at the time, but you appreciated
the older you get. And maybe that's why we're able
to do this show in these crazy time slots, because
(11:16):
it's just it's just where we were, that's how we
were raised.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Indeed, man, we all got the same amount of time
during the course of a day to get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You know what, I mean the perfume. Yeah, the perfume. Bro.
Oh no, that perfume.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yeah, Bro, it's not a cup of coffee. It's it's
whatever the perfume was. And that was around fume.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's so funny because every once in a while. So
so the quick story. When I was growing up, when
I was playing high school ball, I used to play
the games while I was sleep apparently, like I knew
in my mind I was playing the games, I think
about it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
But you know, my wall was against my parents' wall.
So so my room, my room wall.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Was was like like our walls split our rooms, right,
that's how close we were in proximity.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And so.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And I was in like a twin bed like my
whole my whole time growing up, I was in a
twin bed, and so you didn't have very much room.
And I remember like I had this little crease on
the side of my bed like and I'd like kind
of laying it sometimes, you know, like like a little space,
and I'd laying it. And every once in a while,
when i'd be playing the game in my mind, like
(12:34):
in my my my subconscious state of sleep and rest,
I would like bang the wall. So every once in
a while, my mom where the perfume was stored, and
all her makeup and stuff and her vanity and stuff
like that was up against the wall that I was
on the other side of, and every once in a
while I would hit that wall hard as hell, and
(12:57):
my mom would My mom would be mad at me.
You woke me up at one am, at like seven thirty,
and then you're like, I woke around about one am.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, what I do?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You woke me up for me hours later, So take that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But I didn't know I was doing it, but she'd
be like, you gotta stop, like you gotta figure something out,
because you're beating up the wall, like you're you're almost
knocking our vanity over from from the other side, like
in your room.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I was. I was hitting that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Wall hard, man, Like I was like four arms shivering
the wall and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Was taking on blockers.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I guess I don't know, but yeah, man, it's some
fun times. And I guess Memorial Day, you know things
like that, you asking me, It brings back some some
fond memories. I mean they're fond memories now, they weren't
fond in the in the moment. Definitely wasn't enjoyable in
the moment.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Wow, she did a good job raising you.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No, she did a good job. It is to you,
my guy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, thanks man.

Oh God, hit the button on yourself.

Come on, hit the button on yourself, because that was
a direct that tackled me.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Hey, by the way, I don't know I don't know
what brandanch of the military he was in, but Maynard,
the lead singer of Tool, did serve like he was.
He's got a military background. I'm almost positive that I
have that correct. And by the way, he's now a
winemaker in Arizona, lives in Arizona and he's got his
own wine. He's got a little restaurant there. Like a
(16:20):
pretty interesting guy, pretty fascinating addle. What are we showing here?
I know, I think he served in the military. Almost positive,
I'm seeing the army. Yeah, so there's that the things,
the things you know here a little.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I think Big pun served in the army, did he?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
That's why they called him the Punisher.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think that was his military name.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
That's how he got that dam Yeah. Oh god.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I feel like I feel like Berto is wrong for
I mean, his last name is Rios.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I don't see why Berto has a problem with him.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I mean, what's that supposed to mean?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We're going to take this racist.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
That's the direction we're going to go here in a
memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I'm just I'm just saying, man like, Berto's acting like
he's putting Big Pump with me.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He's closer to you than he is to me.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Berto. See how y'all be turning on? Want to know
that I a Berto that ain't cool at all?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Pun.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You know, I'm not familiar with that name mucho.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Muto grande pun a plethora of of of bars and
rap songs.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
So there is uh there, there is this uh fun
little topic which popped up la Bar in the NFL.
So for the most part, everything I've heard is that
players aren't fans of Thursday night football, like as far
as like the short week, especially now the conversation has become, well,
(17:59):
you can play multiple Thursday night games during the course
of a season. We talked about the flexing of Thursday
night games and went through and kind of looked at
which games possibly would be flexed on Thursday night this
upcoming year, which is a fun exercise because we basically
just mocked every team that was going to get flex
and told their fan base how boring their team was.
So that was fun to do on the air when
it happened. But on their latest podcast, The New Heights Show,
(18:23):
which is featuring the Kelsey brothers Jason and Travis, they
talked about Thursday night football and they had a perspective.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I haven't heard a lot of.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Players, if any have, and I don't know if these
guys are just busting balls if they really feel this way,
But I wanted to see how this landed with you.
A former NFL player.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I'm a huge fan of the Thursday night games.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I'm a huge fan of them even later in the
season too.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yeah, listen, I am all for games being played on
Thursdays because that means we have walked throughs during the
middle of the week and we don't practice, and then
we get three days off after the game. So well,
it's not about laziness. It's about helping my league recover
and getting fresh. But players that are anti Thursday night
games are just looking to make headlines. There's no chance
(19:07):
anybody with half a brain cells against Thursday night games.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I heard some quarterbacks say that they don't like them
because of the game prep and they have to stay
up later and they have to work harder mentally.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Yeah, but the other team's doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But yeah, I get that.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
And the other reason I'm a fan of the Thursday
night games getting flex is I just like good football
being on primetime TV. I don't want to turn my
Thursday night television on and have to watch.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Some of those bands. Last year, we're both best.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
I like watching good football, and Thursday night is one
of the few nights that I get to watch football
and just enjoy it as a fan. Let's get some
good freaking matchups. I mean, quarterbacks do have to put
in more work.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It is Jason and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
They're on the New Heights podcast talking about Thursday night football.
So I've not heard a lot of players echo those
sentiments when it comes to playing on a short week.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I mean, if I were to put how I would
feel about Thursday night football, it would probably the only
thing that I would have left, or I mean I
would have added to what kel said was it's the
only game outside of Monday night football. Historically, Thursday night
you're the only game your prime time. So if you
(20:21):
go out and you ball on Thursday night, like you know,
if you were a really good ballplayer, they did like
pregame features on you too.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So that was a great opportunity for you to build
your build your reputation, and build.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Your your notoriety.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Go out and have a big Thursday Night game and
everybody's watching, you know, so you know, I don't know
that that's what it is now, you know what I mean?
Like we talked about the ratings and what they looked
like being on Amazon Prime this past season and this,
that and the other, and some of those games were duds.
Everything they said, there were no lies. In my opinion,
(21:02):
there were no lies told in that in that act
and forth. Like I love the Kelsey brothers fan. I
don't know them, I've never met them, but just from afar,
I love the way they interact with one another. I
want my son to be with one community, with one
another that will there their sensibility. So uh, there's for me.
(21:31):
And and as as Travis stated, I mean, and we've
heard q say it too, I believe. I don't want
to speak for qy he's not here, but I mean,
I know he says how guys complained about Thursday night
games or whatever because of the amount of the time,
the quick turnaround of the game.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
But man, I'm man, I'm with Jason on it. On this.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
A short week, A walk through, a walk through on
on on like pretty much a light practice on Tuesday,
which Tuesdays generally was your day off when I was playing.
So you come back, You come back on Monday, you
install the game plan. You have a practice on Tuesday,
(22:13):
which is like kind of your hardest practice, but you
can't go that hard because it's still, you know, fresh
off of the last game. And then Wednesday you gotta
walk through and then you play the game. You play
the game, and then you're off Friday. They'll give you
off depending on how well you do and what takes place,
you have off Friday, Saturday and Sunday and and and
(22:39):
sometimes depending on what point in the season it is,
they'll give you Monday off too. They'll just tell you
during the course of that time, maybe on on a Friday,
like Friday, you come in for treatment and maybe watch
the film of the game, you do game review, and
then and then Saturday and Sunday you're off.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
They give you victory Monday.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Either you have victory Monday, or you come in and
you do your game playing install on Monday, and then
Tuesday you would have off, and then Wednesday you come
back and you start practicing. That's your hard practice is Wednesday.
Thursday is kind of a hard practice early on in
the SEA, I mean, which I don't even know that
they have hard practices anymore in the league. But that
(23:21):
was generally kind of the schedule, and then you get
back on on schedule for but it's almost like a
mini bye week.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So if you get more than one, if you get
more than one.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Thursday game, for the guys who embrace wanting to play
on Thursday, you're looking at it like I not only
get a one bye but I get a mini bye
week when I get a Thursday night game.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Like That's how I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And I got an opportunity to play on primetime television
it does, which, by the way, which by the way,
I did play on those primetime television games on real
turf at times, but I also played on artificial turf
sometimes too, Jonas, And you know what.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Fortunately for me, I don't recall having any major injuries
on that artificial turf, but thirty two percent more non
contact knee injuries take place on that artificial turf. And
American grass sea company Pennington is on a mission to
ban turf fields with their hashtag flip the Turf movement,
So make sure you go to Pennington dot com slash
(24:28):
flip the Turf now to learn more and sign the
petition for teams to flip the turf to real grass.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Now, it does feel like that majority of players, or
maybe this is just the vocal contingent.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Like Larry Merchant just then, bro I did yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Did you know that you were doing damage to the
body or were you oh figuring it out as the
fight when?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
But it does feel like the vocal contingent of players
have always said we don't like short weeks. It's you know,
we're all about player safety, but they're running us back
out there. It's not good for our body bodies. It's
not good. But you're saying what the Kelsey brothers have
pointed out, that there's more players who feel that way
than maybe are being talked about or being heard from
(25:31):
that they look at it and go, man, sweet, give
us a Thursday. The practice week is easier, it's a
mini buy, and then we have the possibility of running
three four consecutive days off after the game is over.
So that feels like there's also that side of the argument,
which I don't think a lot of people hear from.
We are just we've always been told just the general
(25:53):
public that numb and this is not good for us.
They don't like Thursday games. And furthermore, we definitely don't
like Thursday games potentially happening multiple times in a season
and being flexed out a month in advance. That's what
it feels like. But you're saying that, No, there are
a lot of players who feel the way the Kelsey's do,
and so when they point them out and say these
guys are just looking to make headlines, they're okay with
(26:15):
Thursday night football. I think that kind of changes the
argument because majority of people would say if you pulled
anybody listening to this show right now and said, hey,
do you think it's more likely a player in the
NFL would say I like Thursday games or I don't
like Thursday games, I think majority of them would say, oh,
they don't like Thursday games because of what it does
to the body. But the argument, the flip side to
(26:37):
that account argument is interesting because I don't think anybody's
spoken about it the way they did or the way
that you just did. And the benefits of Thursday night football.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, you know, I can't speak for everyone, so and
I'm not going to try. I just you know, for me,
I enjoy Thursday night games, any game that was a
primetime game. I wanted it, Jonas. I wanted Thursday night,
I want it. I want it, Monday night. I wanted it,
Sunday night. You know, I wanted the primetime slot. I
(27:08):
wanted to play in primetime. That's what I wanted. So
if that meant a short week, bump it, let's let's
let's run it. Let's run it, you know what I mean?
Like I'm ready to run it, Like let's go, cause
I felt like if I had the opportunity, we're coming
into the game. I remember Thursday Night game we were
(27:31):
playing the Ravens and they did this, they did this
whole like thing on on Ravens and stuff like that,
and it was a feature on me and ray Lewis
coming into the game. Let's run it, Like I'm gonna
show the world I'm better than ray Lewis. Like people
could say what they want and going into the game,
(27:53):
think what you think, say what you want to say.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I don't care. Let's run it. I want to.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Show the world that I was the best life backer
on the field that night. Like I'm going to be
the best linebacker and the whole world is going to
see it. I don't care who we're playing. I'm gonna
find something. If we're playing a team you know we
could have been playing. We played. We played, like I
told you before, we played the Colts on on Thursday
(28:18):
night and they had Edgar and James and Peyton Manning
on that team.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Let's run it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm going to thump the hell out of Edgar and
James and I'm going to thump the hell out of
Peyton Manning and everybody's going to see it.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Let's run it. I'm ready to run it.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And we did, and we did, and that was like
to me, that was how I looked at it. Now
that's just me, though, I don't know how everybody else
looked at it, but that was how I.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Felt about it.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
By the way, I'm looking at your splits. Your the
day's game day splits here courtesy of Pro Football Reference
LaVar Arrington. On Thursdays, a one to one record is
a team. But again, you know that's not your fault.
You've got nine total tackles, one tackle for loss, and
a pass deflection. But on Monday night, three and five
(29:07):
record as a team. Again, that's not your fault. You
had a safety, you had five sacks, forty tackles, a
QB hit, two pass deflections. So it feels like Monday nights.
You got after it a little bit like you were active,
especially getting after the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Hey look, I don't even remember my stat lines. I
just know I was out that bad boy hunting like
I was telling. I was telling two ten and uh
and TAKEO on their their podcast. Shouts out to them,
and yeah, the Behind the Mask pod has b BTM.
(29:51):
You know how you know how Floyd Mayweather says, you
don't play boxing. Oh you listen, some dudes playing football
weren't playing like I wasn't playing. When I was out there,
I was hunting like that's what I was doing. I
(30:12):
was out to hunt down stock and destroy whatever it
was that my mission was. And my prey was on
the other side of that ball done like I'm ready,
that's what it's going to be. So some people play football,
I wasn't playing football. I was out there trying to
(30:34):
eat in the serengetti eat or be eating, and I
wasn't trying to get ate up. So I was out
there taking down lions. I was taking down elephants, giraffes,
you name it. I don't care how big it was.
The game was game. I'm coming forward.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Well listen, three Pro Bowls and apparently Thursday night football
not a problem for one LeVar Arrington and the else brothers.

We have a new controversy in the world of sports.

After your sports weekend happens, so it's time to get
the FSR IR report.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
All right, So LeVar Arrington, you got anything you want
to record.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I'm definitely on the ir right now for what. So
you know, my son is in from Delaware state. You know,
he's a blue hen and he brought his blue energy here.
And I'll tell you what's crazy is as I was.
You know, we were at the gym and we've been working,
(33:24):
working our tails off in the gym and my shoulder
bang my shoulder up, man, like we was doing crazy crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I told you we did the one thousand, one thousand
rep sets. You know it was one hundred reps, but
we did a thousand reps in total. And then the
day after we went back and we did I think
we did twelve to twenty exercises one one set, one
(33:56):
set like to basically to failure and bro shoulder is
on fire.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Would you do rotator cuff?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
It feels like it.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I've partially tore my rotator cuff twice. It's a pain
in the ass.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I hope it's not that it feels like a classic
like muscle strain. I might have strained it because I
didn't do I didn't do any motions where I would
have torn anything or anything like that. And I just
think I feel like it's a strain like and I
was straining. You know, I'm trying to keep up with
a twenty two year old, so it's just kind of
(34:33):
one of those deals.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Mine was just wear and terror.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
But I know the moment when it started to change
where I was like, eh, this is not was doing
push ups. I went too wide on push ups, and
because I just wanted to work those into my workouts,
I was like, oh, you know, I've been doing obviously
bench and all the other chest air flies and you
know everything.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
And then I.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Started doing push ups and it just sped up the
wear and tear and ended up having to go to
get rehab done on it. And yeah, I couldn't lift
it over my head. I can only and to this
day it's still not it's still not one hundred percent
like they're just something has always felt off.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
So that sucks, man.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
And then if you push through it, you just you know,
you just end up doing more damage to it.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Well, I am going to go back today, but I
am going to be very strategic in how I do it.
It'll only be pulling. I'll do some pools today. I
won't like rowing stuff like that. I want no push, yeah,
no no push, and no upward motions you know what
I mean. I stay in my little little zone area
and it should. It feels better than what it did
(35:40):
the first day that I was feeling it, you know
what I mean. So that's that, you know, my son
felt good that that he could. He felt like he
put me in a body bag. So that that's one
of those like rite of passages or something like that.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
But you know it was all good.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, Eddie Garcia, you got an FSRI R here on
a Monday, coming a.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Week it's an emotionally challenging time for me right now, Jonas,
why is that? Well, my seventy inch HDTV I believe
has has died.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Well, isn't that the one that died like two years ago?
And he thought and then it just came back to life.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
All yes, yes it did have a second stint, but
it looks like this time, this time is the real thing.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Now.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
The good news is it's Memorial Day weekend. There's probably
a lot of sales.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Going on, that is true.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
And another good thing is my wife is as big
a football fan as I am, so having a nice
big TV is not really you know, not a real
big negotiation with her.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
She's all still four.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
We just need to make sure we gotta got enough
cash to go out there and make that kind of investment.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Are you going seventy or bigger this time?
Speaker 9 (36:48):
Oh no, there'll there'll be no going back to smaller TVs.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah, so, I mean, so nothing below a seventy movie?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
That's correct.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Okay, So then I don't even know what TV out
there now.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
You bought a TV not that long.
Speaker 8 (37:02):
I actually bought a TV yesterday seventy inch Walmart for
like four hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Video it's a good, good deal.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
How much it's like four hundred twenty bucks for a
seventy inch?
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Yeah? Oh damn wow.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
By the way, you remember when they used to be
like fifteen hundred bucks, Like back in the day.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
What's the largest you can get? Eighty?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Oh I didn't get bigger than that as far as that.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Seventy five is pretty standard, but you could get bigger
than eighty for sure.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yeah. Like how much bigger out of a out of
a store?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
I mean now you're starting to look at projectors and
stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Like if you wall mount those, you'll take down the house.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Which is the University of Delaware, guys. I made a mistake.
I said Delaware States University of Delaware, OH.

a Memorial Day and we will take you all the
way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific,
(01:26):
Memorial Day. Yes, and obviously remembering to all the families.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, shouts out to all our fallen soldiers, and shouts
out to all of our fallen first responders. Shouts out
to anybody and everybody who has paid the ultimate price
for the freedoms that we take for granted so often
and so conveniently. But just know there are people who
are out here that are risking it all and have
(01:52):
lost their lives for us to have the freedoms to say,
home of the brave man, and it's the land of
the free. So shouts out to everyone who has done
something to to service our our communities and in our country.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
So Memorial Day, and I know that obviously near and
dear to your heart with your father serving and then
Brady as well to his dad Chopper. So yeah, I
know that this is obviously, uh a somber day, but
one to remember just everybody who paid that ultimate price
and sacrifice for all of us. So so yeah again, uh,
(02:31):
you know, thoughts to all of all of those and
and I hope people are you know, I don't know
if celebrating is the right word to use, but at least.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, celebrating is honoring. Celebrating is the right word. It is.
It's it's honoring, but it's also celebrating because a hero
and a soldier dies one but one death. A coward
dies many deaths. So to to lose your life in
the line of duty and while servicing, you definitely you
(03:05):
honor them, but you also celebrate them as well.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
What was it like growing up in a military family
the Memorial Day?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
How is it looked at, well.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
My whole my whole family, like my my mother's father
served in the army, my my my dad's father served
in the army.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
My dad's dad served in the army.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And all my uncles on my dad's side served in
in in military branches. We had Navy, we had UH
Air Force, and and so and obviously three three of
my well three all together my dad included was three,
my two of my uncles they were they were army
as well. So uh, for for us, that was just
(03:55):
a way of life, the way, the way our culture was.
When I got up in the morning, I was required
me and my brothers were required to make our beds
up a certain way. The measurement of the sheet, your
your your blanket had to be measured out correctly from
(04:17):
the floor. Uh, you had to vacuum your room, you
had you basically we basically lived in the barracks, you know,
growing up sometimes you know sometimes in my mother and
my father, they maintained a very very strict regiment of
getting up and getting things done. So no matter what
(04:39):
your schedule was, you had to get up at the
oh whatever hundred hours it was in our house.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And you was going to get up one way or
the other.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because my mom would come through the hallway with a
pot in a wooden a wooden sto you know, spoon,
and would actually be coming through the hallway like we
were in train and camp or something like that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
She'd be banging the pot until you get up.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
By the way, that should be an alarm app is
that if you go through your iPhone and there's a
given alarm sounds, that should be one of the sounds
they have.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What would they call that? Just the pot and spoon?
The old would wouldn't spoon into the.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Pot, wouldn't spoon into a pot because.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
To this day, I'll be interesting, I'll bet that would
wake you up out of a dead sleep.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
To this day, well, I would probably like lose my
s on whoever did it. I probably just because I'm
in a place now where I kind of have my
the schedule of the way I want to have it,
you know, and I can do pretty much how I
want to do things.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And and so if somebody were.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
To pull a prank like that on me or do
something like that, it would be a prank gone wrong,
like I might snap out, literally. But but here's the thing,
and I'm just now kind of putting this together like
right now, is if my mother hadn't did that, like
woke us up like sheep like Jonas, we we didn't
(06:08):
have to leave for school until I want to say,
somewhere around seven thirty. And then once my brother started
well I only got to it wasn't really once my
brother started driving, because.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It was because I was still in middle school when
he was when we went to the same school for
one year, but anyway, and he was driving. But once
he started driving, we left at like seven forty five,
seven point fifty. But before then, but before then, you know,
we'd leave at like seven thirty seven ish, and my
(06:44):
mom was waking us up at like four or five
am and we're getting up and it's like it's.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Four am, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And and we had to clean everything up, had to
make our own breakfast, we had to make our own lunches.
And you know what I started doing. I started getting
so efficient with my time. I started working out, and
that was like kind of how I created the people
used to ask me, well, what did you do to
(07:19):
develop and become this?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That and the other, and da da dah. I started
working out.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I would work out after school, but I started working
out before school. So after I clean up all my stuff,
I would go run or i'd go do I can
remember doing like one hundred push ups, one hundred sit ups,
and I'd go up. I go get on the stairs
and do like stare like up downs on the stairs
(07:44):
in our house.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
And you probably look forward to that more than making
the bed and doing all the other craft.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That you had to do. Bro, I I just started
working out.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't even know. I don't even know how. I
don't even know really how it started. That started happening,
but it kind of developed into because you had enough
time to kind of eat your breakfast and then like
really like go back to sleep for like forty some minutes.
You know, you had like a good forty and on
(08:14):
some days you have like an hour to go back
to sleep before you had to leave for school.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That's how early she woke us up. And I just started.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I started feeling the time with working out, Like I
literally was running the hill before I had to go
to school. Then I'd come back in, wash myself up,
get myself ready for school, and I was like vibrant,
like I was ready to go.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I appreciate you, mommy, but yeah, it was crazy, bro
Like in the moment, you don't really appreciate it. In fact,
I despised the fact that she never missed. She never missed,
Like you're not going to get that she slept in
like she never missed. You had to get up, get up,
(09:00):
and you're gonna hear the pot. She's gonna tell you.
She hit us with water a few times too. She's
stone cold.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
She's still here too, by the way, but she was
stone cold. She hit you with cold water, like whatever,
And then you gotta change your sheets. You gotta change them.
She told you to get up when it's time to
get up. First alarm is get up, time to get up?
And I can always remember the same smell because our
(09:27):
house wasn't big, so you knew it was almost time
to get up when you could start smelling like her perfume.
Oh yeah so because yeah, when she finishing up. When
she was finishing up, you smell.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
The perfume, the last last stage of getting ready, and
you knew yours right next.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
You knew you had to get up. You hear the names.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You start hearing the names, the roll call coming out,
and you knew you needed to get up.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Next thing, you.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Know, if everybody wasn't moving, you start hearing the pot
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom bike.
There you go, get your ass up and you get
to the point of where you don't want to hear
that pot, so get your ass up.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It is funny though. My mom was always an early
riser too.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
I remember being a kid and I always wanted I
always thought the coolest thing in the world was that
somebody would be up working in the dark and they
drop off like a cart and of milk on the
front doorstep, like the milkman would drop off, and there
would be like whatever you owed for that week, like
if you were getting a gallon of milk or whatever,
they would drop it off. And then I realized my
(10:34):
mom was always an early riser because she taught me
when I was And you don't even think about this
when you're younger. You're just like, I don't, what's the point.
But she taught me you can always get the most
done first thing in the morning, when you can actually
get to it. So like when you like, she would
go to the grocery store first thing in the morning.
She would do like, anything she needed to do, she
(10:56):
would always try and do it first thing in the morning.
Because once the day starts, then it's out of your hands.
It's like the old expression, run the day, don't let
the day run you like it, just like once the
day starts, things start popping up. But yeah, like you don't.
You don't realize it at the time, but you appreciated
the older you get. And maybe that's why we're able
to do this show in these crazy time slots, because
(11:16):
it's just it's just where we were, that's how we
were raised.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Indeed, man, we all got the same amount of time
during the course of a day to get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
You know what, I mean the perfume. Yeah, the perfume. Bro.
Oh no, that perfume.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yeah, Bro, it's not a cup of coffee. It's it's
whatever the perfume was. And that was around fume.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's so funny because every once in a while. So
so the quick story. When I was growing up, when
I was playing high school ball, I used to play
the games while I was sleep apparently, like I knew
in my mind I was playing the games, I think
about it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
But you know, my wall was against my parents' wall.
So so my room, my room wall.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Was was like like our walls split our rooms, right,
that's how close we were in proximity.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And so.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And I was in like a twin bed like my
whole my whole time growing up, I was in a
twin bed, and so you didn't have very much room.
And I remember like I had this little crease on
the side of my bed like and I'd like kind
of laying it sometimes, you know, like like a little space,
and I'd laying it. And every once in a while,
when i'd be playing the game in my mind, like
(12:34):
in my my my subconscious state of sleep and rest,
I would like bang the wall. So every once in
a while, my mom where the perfume was stored, and
all her makeup and stuff and her vanity and stuff
like that was up against the wall that I was
on the other side of, and every once in a
while I would hit that wall hard as hell, and
(12:57):
my mom would My mom would be mad at me.
You woke me up at one am, at like seven thirty,
and then you're like, I woke around about one am.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, what I do?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You woke me up for me hours later, So take that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But I didn't know I was doing it, but she'd
be like, you gotta stop, like you gotta figure something out,
because you're beating up the wall, like you're you're almost
knocking our vanity over from from the other side, like
in your room.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I was. I was hitting that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Wall hard, man, Like I was like four arms shivering
the wall and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Was taking on blockers.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I guess I don't know, but yeah, man, it's some
fun times. And I guess Memorial Day, you know things
like that, you asking me, It brings back some some
fond memories. I mean they're fond memories now, they weren't
fond in the in the moment. Definitely wasn't enjoyable in
the moment.

a direct that tackled me.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Hey, by the way, I don't know I don't know
what brandanch of the military he was in, but Maynard,
the lead singer of Tool, did serve like he was.
He's got a military background. I'm almost positive that I
have that correct. And by the way, he's now a
winemaker in Arizona, lives in Arizona and he's got his
own wine. He's got a little restaurant there. Like a
(16:20):
pretty interesting guy, pretty fascinating addle. What are we showing here?
I know, I think he served in the military. Almost positive,
I'm seeing the army. Yeah, so there's that the things,
the things you know here a little.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I think Big pun served in the army, did he?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
That's why they called him the Punisher.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think that was his military name.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
That's how he got that dam Yeah. Oh god.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I feel like I feel like Berto is wrong for
I mean, his last name is Rios.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I don't see why Berto has a problem with him.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I mean, what's that supposed to mean?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We're going to take this racist.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
That's the direction we're going to go here in a
memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I'm just I'm just saying, man like, Berto's acting like
he's putting Big Pump with me.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He's closer to you than he is to me.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Berto. See how y'all be turning on? Want to know
that I a Berto that ain't cool at all?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Pun.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You know, I'm not familiar with that name mucho.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Muto grande pun a plethora of of of bars and
rap songs.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
So there is uh there, there is this uh fun
little topic which popped up la Bar in the NFL.
So for the most part, everything I've heard is that
players aren't fans of Thursday night football, like as far
as like the short week, especially now the conversation has become, well,
(17:59):
you can play multiple Thursday night games during the course
of a season. We talked about the flexing of Thursday
night games and went through and kind of looked at
which games possibly would be flexed on Thursday night this
upcoming year, which is a fun exercise because we basically
just mocked every team that was going to get flex
and told their fan base how boring their team was.
So that was fun to do on the air when
it happened. But on their latest podcast, The New Heights Show,
(18:23):
which is featuring the Kelsey brothers Jason and Travis, they
talked about Thursday night football and they had a perspective.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I haven't heard a lot of.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Players, if any have, and I don't know if these
guys are just busting balls if they really feel this way,
But I wanted to see how this landed with you.
A former NFL player.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
I'm a huge fan of the Thursday night games.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I'm a huge fan of them even later in the
season too.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yeah, listen, I am all for games being played on
Thursdays because that means we have walked throughs during the
middle of the week and we don't practice, and then
we get three days off after the game. So well,
it's not about laziness. It's about helping my league recover
and getting fresh. But players that are anti Thursday night
games are just looking to make headlines. There's no chance
(19:07):
anybody with half a brain cells against Thursday night games.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I heard some quarterbacks say that they don't like them
because of the game prep and they have to stay
up later and they have to work harder mentally.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Yeah, but the other team's doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But yeah, I get that.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
And the other reason I'm a fan of the Thursday
night games getting flex is I just like good football
being on primetime TV. I don't want to turn my
Thursday night television on and have to watch.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Some of those bands. Last year, we're both best.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
I like watching good football, and Thursday night is one
of the few nights that I get to watch football
and just enjoy it as a fan. Let's get some
good freaking matchups. I mean, quarterbacks do have to put
in more work.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It is Jason and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
They're on the New Heights podcast talking about Thursday night football.
So I've not heard a lot of players echo those
sentiments when it comes to playing on a short week.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I mean, if I were to put how I would
feel about Thursday night football, it would probably the only
thing that I would have left, or I mean I
would have added to what kel said was it's the
only game outside of Monday night football. Historically, Thursday night
you're the only game your prime time. So if you
(20:21):
go out and you ball on Thursday night, like you know,
if you were a really good ballplayer, they did like
pregame features on you too.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So that was a great opportunity for you to build
your build your reputation, and build.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Your your notoriety.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Go out and have a big Thursday Night game and
everybody's watching, you know, so you know, I don't know
that that's what it is now, you know what I mean?
Like we talked about the ratings and what they looked
like being on Amazon Prime this past season and this,
that and the other, and some of those games were duds.
Everything they said, there were no lies. In my opinion,
(21:02):
there were no lies told in that in that act
and forth. Like I love the Kelsey brothers fan. I
don't know them, I've never met them, but just from afar,
I love the way they interact with one another. I
want my son to be with one community, with one
another that will there their sensibility. So uh, there's for me.
(21:31):
And and as as Travis stated, I mean, and we've
heard q say it too, I believe. I don't want
to speak for qy he's not here, but I mean,
I know he says how guys complained about Thursday night
games or whatever because of the amount of the time,
the quick turnaround of the game.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
But man, I'm man, I'm with Jason on it. On this.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
A short week, A walk through, a walk through on
on on like pretty much a light practice on Tuesday,
which Tuesdays generally was your day off when I was playing.
So you come back, You come back on Monday, you
install the game plan. You have a practice on Tuesday,
(22:13):
which is like kind of your hardest practice, but you
can't go that hard because it's still, you know, fresh
off of the last game. And then Wednesday you gotta
walk through and then you play the game. You play
the game, and then you're off Friday. They'll give you
off depending on how well you do and what takes place,
you have off Friday, Saturday and Sunday and and and
(22:39):
sometimes depending on what point in the season it is,
they'll give you Monday off too. They'll just tell you
during the course of that time, maybe on on a Friday,
like Friday, you come in for treatment and maybe watch
the film of the game, you do game review, and
then and then Saturday and Sunday you're off.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
They give you victory Monday.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Either you have victory Monday, or you come in and
you do your game playing install on Monday, and then
Tuesday you would have off, and then Wednesday you come
back and you start practicing. That's your hard practice is Wednesday.
Thursday is kind of a hard practice early on in
the SEA, I mean, which I don't even know that
they have hard practices anymore in the league. But that
(23:21):
was generally kind of the schedule, and then you get
back on on schedule for but it's almost like a
mini bye week.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
So if you get more than one, if you get
more than one.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Thursday game, for the guys who embrace wanting to play
on Thursday, you're looking at it like I not only
get a one bye but I get a mini bye
week when I get a Thursday night game.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Like That's how I looked at it.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And I got an opportunity to play on primetime television
it does, which, by the way, which by the way,
I did play on those primetime television games on real
turf at times, but I also played on artificial turf
sometimes too, Jonas, And you know what.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Fortunately for me, I don't recall having any major injuries
on that artificial turf, but thirty two percent more non
contact knee injuries take place on that artificial turf. And
American grass sea company Pennington is on a mission to
ban turf fields with their hashtag flip the Turf movement,
So make sure you go to Pennington dot com slash
(24:28):
flip the Turf now to learn more and sign the
petition for teams to flip the turf to real grass.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Now, it does feel like that majority of players, or
maybe this is just the vocal contingent.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Like Larry Merchant just then, bro I did yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Did you know that you were doing damage to the
body or were you oh figuring it out as the
fight when?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
But it does feel like the vocal contingent of players
have always said we don't like short weeks. It's you know,
we're all about player safety, but they're running us back
out there. It's not good for our body bodies. It's
not good. But you're saying what the Kelsey brothers have
pointed out, that there's more players who feel that way
than maybe are being talked about or being heard from
(25:31):
that they look at it and go, man, sweet, give
us a Thursday. The practice week is easier, it's a
mini buy, and then we have the possibility of running
three four consecutive days off after the game is over.
So that feels like there's also that side of the argument,
which I don't think a lot of people hear from.
We are just we've always been told just the general
(25:53):
public that numb and this is not good for us.
They don't like Thursday games. And furthermore, we definitely don't
like Thursday games potentially happening multiple times in a season
and being flexed out a month in advance. That's what
it feels like. But you're saying that, No, there are
a lot of players who feel the way the Kelsey's do,
and so when they point them out and say these
guys are just looking to make headlines, they're okay with
(26:15):
Thursday night football. I think that kind of changes the
argument because majority of people would say if you pulled
anybody listening to this show right now and said, hey,
do you think it's more likely a player in the
NFL would say I like Thursday games or I don't
like Thursday games, I think majority of them would say, oh,
they don't like Thursday games because of what it does
to the body. But the argument, the flip side to
(26:37):
that account argument is interesting because I don't think anybody's
spoken about it the way they did or the way
that you just did. And the benefits of Thursday night football.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, you know, I can't speak for everyone, so and
I'm not going to try. I just you know, for me,
I enjoy Thursday night games, any game that was a
primetime game. I wanted it, Jonas. I wanted Thursday night,
I want it. I want it, Monday night. I wanted it,
Sunday night. You know, I wanted the primetime slot. I
(27:08):
wanted to play in primetime. That's what I wanted. So
if that meant a short week, bump it, let's let's
let's run it. Let's run it, you know what I mean?
Like I'm ready to run it, Like let's go, cause
I felt like if I had the opportunity, we're coming
into the game. I remember Thursday Night game we were
(27:31):
playing the Ravens and they did this, they did this
whole like thing on on Ravens and stuff like that,
and it was a feature on me and ray Lewis
coming into the game. Let's run it, Like I'm gonna
show the world I'm better than ray Lewis. Like people
could say what they want and going into the game,
(27:53):
think what you think, say what you want to say.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I don't care. Let's run it. I want to.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Show the world that I was the best life backer
on the field that night. Like I'm going to be
the best linebacker and the whole world is going to
see it. I don't care who we're playing. I'm gonna
find something. If we're playing a team you know we
could have been playing. We played. We played, like I
told you before, we played the Colts on on Thursday
(28:18):
night and they had Edgar and James and Peyton Manning
on that team.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Let's run it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm going to thump the hell out of Edgar and
James and I'm going to thump the hell out of
Peyton Manning and everybody's going to see it.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Let's run it. I'm ready to run it.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And we did, and we did, and that was like
to me, that was how I looked at it. Now
that's just me, though, I don't know how everybody else
looked at it, but that was how I.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Felt about it.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
By the way, I'm looking at your splits. Your the
day's game day splits here courtesy of Pro Football Reference
LaVar Arrington. On Thursdays, a one to one record is
a team. But again, you know that's not your fault.
You've got nine total tackles, one tackle for loss, and
a pass deflection. But on Monday night, three and five
(29:07):
record as a team. Again, that's not your fault. You
had a safety, you had five sacks, forty tackles, a
QB hit, two pass deflections. So it feels like Monday nights.
You got after it a little bit like you were active,
especially getting after the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Hey look, I don't even remember my stat lines. I
just know I was out that bad boy hunting like
I was telling. I was telling two ten and uh
and TAKEO on their their podcast. Shouts out to them,
and yeah, the Behind the Mask pod has b BTM.
(29:51):
You know how you know how Floyd Mayweather says, you
don't play boxing. Oh you listen, some dudes playing football
weren't playing like I wasn't playing. When I was out there,
I was hunting like that's what I was doing. I
(30:12):
was out to hunt down stock and destroy whatever it
was that my mission was. And my prey was on
the other side of that ball done like I'm ready,
that's what it's going to be. So some people play football,
I wasn't playing football. I was out there trying to
(30:34):
eat in the serengetti eat or be eating, and I
wasn't trying to get ate up. So I was out
there taking down lions. I was taking down elephants, giraffes,
you name it. I don't care how big it was.
The game was game. I'm coming forward.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Well listen, three Pro Bowls and apparently Thursday night football

Speaker 4 (33:00):
All right, So LeVar Arrington, you got anything you want
to record.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I'm definitely on the ir right now for what. So
you know, my son is in from Delaware state. You know,
he's a blue hen and he brought his blue energy here.
And I'll tell you what's crazy is as I was.
You know, we were at the gym and we've been working,
(33:24):
working our tails off in the gym and my shoulder
bang my shoulder up, man, like we was doing crazy crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I told you we did the one thousand, one thousand
rep sets. You know it was one hundred reps, but
we did a thousand reps in total. And then the
day after we went back and we did I think
we did twelve to twenty exercises one one set, one
(33:56):
set like to basically to failure and bro shoulder is
on fire.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Would you do rotator cuff?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
It feels like it.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I've partially tore my rotator cuff twice. It's a pain
in the ass.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I hope it's not that it feels like a classic
like muscle strain. I might have strained it because I
didn't do I didn't do any motions where I would
have torn anything or anything like that. And I just
think I feel like it's a strain like and I
was straining. You know, I'm trying to keep up with
a twenty two year old, so it's just kind of
(34:33):
one of those deals.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Mine was just wear and terror.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
But I know the moment when it started to change
where I was like, eh, this is not was doing
push ups. I went too wide on push ups, and
because I just wanted to work those into my workouts,
I was like, oh, you know, I've been doing obviously
bench and all the other chest air flies and you
know everything.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
And then I.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Started doing push ups and it just sped up the
wear and tear and ended up having to go to
get rehab done on it. And yeah, I couldn't lift
it over my head. I can only and to this
day it's still not it's still not one hundred percent
like they're just something has always felt off.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
So that sucks, man.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
And then if you push through it, you just you know,
you just end up doing more damage to it.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Well, I am going to go back today, but I
am going to be very strategic in how I do it.
It'll only be pulling. I'll do some pools today. I
won't like rowing stuff like that. I want no push, yeah,
no no push, and no upward motions you know what
I mean. I stay in my little little zone area
and it should. It feels better than what it did
(35:40):
the first day that I was feeling it, you know
what I mean. So that's that, you know, my son
felt good that that he could. He felt like he
put me in a body bag. So that that's one
of those like rite of passages or something like that.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
But you know it was all good.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Yeah, Eddie Garcia, you got an FSRI R here on
a Monday, coming a.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Week it's an emotionally challenging time for me right now, Jonas,
why is that? Well, my seventy inch HDTV I believe
has has died.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Well, isn't that the one that died like two years ago?
And he thought and then it just came back to life.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
All yes, yes it did have a second stint, but
it looks like this time, this time is the real thing.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Now.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
The good news is it's Memorial Day weekend. There's probably
a lot of sales.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Going on, that is true.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
And another good thing is my wife is as big
a football fan as I am, so having a nice
big TV is not really you know, not a real
big negotiation with her.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
