Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Would you ever fight for a bag?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Coach, you had me tempted earlier. I know you did
call me out. Oh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You did call me out. That was the thing. That
would make me mad. You see that blocking speed? Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I think Tom's lost a little bit of the sauce
over the years. Yeah, that's what happens with age. Trust me,
I experienced it with Floyd Mayweather. They all say he's
going to whoop my ass. He said he's going to
guarantee a knockout.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Look what happened.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Now he's broke.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Ladies and gentlemen, today's guest is a man who went
from a fifth-round afterthought to arguably the best wide receiver
in the league. He's a two-time Pro Bowler, a first-team All-Pro,
and the owner of the greatest rookie receiving season the
NFL has ever seen. Give it up for the Los
Angeles Rams superstar wide receiver, Puka Nakua.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Puka Nakua. Puka Nakua.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
He came out like a wrecking ball. What you want
to have, coach?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Wow, in the flesh. Dude, these things are impossible. In
the flesh. Hey, is my coach to you? Always. He's
coached to me since the day I met him. But strangely,
I call him coach, too. It only makes sense. It
makes it easier.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Wait, who is coach and who's not coach? Am I
coach because of my age?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
No, not necessarily. That would be bad. Most people are
considered coach.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
It makes it easier. The level of comfort, I feel like, oh,
he's friendly. Yeah, yeah, he's a friendly, for sure. Everyone
kind of likes you, Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I do my best, bro. I do my best. How
are you feeling today, man? Took me to the pizza spot.
I'm like, I just really went back to Sonny's the
other day. I'm like, I had that wagyu cheesesteak. Sonny's
Pizza in L.A. We've eaten at a lot of good spots.
We've spent a lot of time together, Pooka, and I
admire you a lot. We've spent time in Aspen, New York, L.A. Yeah,
you're hunting them out, dude. It's the off-season. You've got

(01:57):
to enjoy the off-season.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
There's only so many days. How long is the off-season?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Uh... You don't play in the Super Bowl, so I'm like,
we finished, like, early February or, like, late January. Late January.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh, oh.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
And then we start again. The draft is, like, April, like, mid-April. Well,
you're working out and stuff. Yeah, 100%. You're staying in
shape in the offseason.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Even though, bro, I'm trying to see you out and about.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Coach, why have I not got a workout, like, invite
to come work out with you?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Pulling my tricep. Pulling my tricep. Can't do it at
the moment. Not moving at all. I mean, I can
move it. I can goon still, but... You gotta hit
leg day every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Nah, don't say that.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Don't say anything silly things like that, bro. You like
leg day? I mean, no, not necessarily. Are you hitting
legs like once or twice a week? At least twice
a week. We gotta run, like, we gotta run.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, you do gotta run.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I feel like you're durable, bro. You're even, like, thick. Like, bro,
when you dab him up, you can tell this guy's... Well.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
You know what puka means, right? And it loosely translates
to chubby in his native language. So that's why he
was given that name because he's got that. But you're
not chubby at all.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
You're leaned out. That is the right word.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Well, how does an off-season for you right now compare
to an off-season for somebody in their seventh or eighth year?
This is arguably you're coming into maybe the most important
season of your life, right?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Would you say that?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
100%.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm like... Shoot, we got Miles Garrett, so I'm like,
the pressure is on right now. I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Everybody's thinking, I'm like, we're waiting to see if Aaron
Donald's coming back. So I'm like, it's exciting times right
now to be in LA. So 100%, I'm like, we
got reigning MVP coming back. Devontae, I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's so different. I'm like, Devontae is strong as hell.
I'm like, he's out here. I like to think I'm
pretty strong. He probably lives more than me. And he's year,
this is year 13 for him. Damn. So, yeah. How
are you able to stay focused? playing on a team
based in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I feel like being in the Valley, I'm like, we're
luckily we're not in West Hollywood or like we're not
in the downtown. So like, it's not too crazy, but
I think that's the nice thing where it's like, we
can go out and have.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
The best game on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
You go out and score two touchdowns, go beat, beat
the Buffalo bills or whoever it is.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
And then, sorry, I'm like, and the Colts, I'm like.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
We beat the Colts.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I see the Colts guy up there.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm like, sorry, RIP to the Colts. I'm like, the
Patriots over here too. I'm like, we beat the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
We got all of them. Like it's a Tom Brady jersey.
So we'll let him get, we'll give him a pass.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
But, but that's the nice thing is like, Monday morning,
Kim Kardashian or Leonardo DiCaprio can say something and then
it's like, oh, everybody forgot really about what we did.
So it's like there's so much else going on in
LA where it's like you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
But it's also quieted down a little bit over the years.
It's not the same LA that it was. Like if
you were there when he was still living there in
like 2018, coach, I would be a lot more worried
about you.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm going to be completely honest with you.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
There was like some moments over the past 12 to
18 months where people were A little bit curious about
the direction of Puka Nakua. Was he going to be
a rosé sipper like Tom Brady, or was he going
to go more the Manziel route?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Where do you think you fit, and shout out Johnny,
I love you, but where do you fit in the
midst of those two right now from a going out standpoint?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Between Johnny Manziel and Tom Brady. I'm like, I definitely
am leaning more towards the Tom Brady side.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
You're leaning more towards Tom?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, okay. I did go to the Johnny Manziel fight.
I can't believe he actually threw a leg kick. It
was absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
His kicks look pretty freaking good.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
He knew exactly what he was going to do. He
was like, all right, I'm going to throw a leg kick.
It's going to fluster him, and then he won the fight.
It happened like that. I actually saw him at Delilah's before,
and he gave me no confidence where I was like,
I was going to place a bet on you.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm like, yo.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And he's like, you're going to be out there on Saturday?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I'm like, yeah. And he's like, nice. And I'm like, well,
not betting on you anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I'm like, I don't feel any confidence.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, but little did you know that Bob Mennery was
kicked out of the Red Rock also the night before.
So neither of them were locked in for that point
at all.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Nothing was happening, no. I could have guessed that. Chasing
the bag a little bit. That makes sense. Would you
ever fight for a bag?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
No. Coach, you had me tempted earlier. I know you
did call me out.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh, that's right. You did call me out. That was
the thing. That one made me mad. You made me
mad with that one, bro. I know.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Mike, Coach, you helped me.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
You supported me. I said, don't you dare. I thought
we were on the same page.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Anybody except Puka.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Bro, bro, bro.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I did it because, first off, Coach is always talking
about you. He's always there. Puka this, Puka that, Puka
last night. By the way, it's a lot of Puka
last night.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I hear the story. I don't know, bro. I was
fired up that day.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
And you were like one of the last names I
heard in my head. My subconscious just blurted you out.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I was like, oh, fuck.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I haven't even met the guy, bro. I was like, man,
I thought we were going to be friends. Mike was like,
he's just talking about you to the same thing. I
was like, this is going to be a friendly. And
then you call me out. I was like, well, now
I kind of I'm like, do we have to fight now?

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Again, for a bag, bro. Let's see if we can
get NFL commissioner to put this on. No one will
do it.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
No, I definitely won't. I like to think I'm physical.
I don't know how the UFC... When I get punched
in the face, I feel like I'm like... One, I
want to swear instantly. I'm like, you have to let
some aggression out.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
But I'm like, I don't know how they do it.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
The UFC, I'm like... Hold on, hold.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
On.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Getting punched in the face is like.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Kind of close to getting fucking rocked by a defender
when you're not looking.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
He gets rocked, bro.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, so, like, to me, they're very similar.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean, I guess, yeah. But I'm, like, having the
helmet on, I'm, like, you never take any, like, shots
directly to the face.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, but you can still get, bro, you've been.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Rocked on the field. I actually got stitches. My first
game of the season, I'm, like, I took a helmet
to helmet.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
I'm, like, dude, I got, like, four stitches right in
my eye.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
So, I guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Something about getting hit with a helmet on, it feels
less painful.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Really?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
It's actually exciting.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
So much of his completion is in, like, heavy acting. Like,
he'll go right over the center and just, like.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Get cooked and hold onto the ball every time. I
wanted to ask about that. Because, contrarily, I actually don't
mind being punched. But the idea of doing what you
do and just going for the ball... like with nothing else.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
In your mind except catch that ball and allowing yourself
to be hit from the side, like really scares me.
Why do you have such commitment to go after the
ball in fucked situations?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean, I think of like Matthew, I'm like, it's
so easy to see the perfect spiral. I'm like, I
could read every, I'm like national football league on the ball.
Like as he's throwing it, I'm like, it's so like
perfectly defined. So it's like, it makes it so easy.
It's the only thing you think about. I'm like, my
coach gets mad at me all the time. Cause like, you're,
you're supposed to like watch it all the way and
like to the ball, like get your hands. And I'm like,
I could, I'm like, all the footballs have like numbers

(08:24):
on them. It's like, number 700 or something like that
I'm like they have so I'm like I'm reading I'm
like I see okay ball 657 I'm like right before
he catches I'm.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like I'm already turning there's so much trust.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
In the ball 100% I'm like bro that's wait hold
on that's so fucking cool I've seen a couple of
you of those where you've like turned downfield before you
had the ball yeah I was just like damn it
but I know it's happened barely ever there's a couple
times I'm like you drop one and you're like you're
sick and I'm like oh gosh I know Matthew hates
me right now he's like I just laid you a
perfect ball and you just dropped.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
That Damn, but no, but you're not dropping a lot
of balls, man. You got hands.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Try to. I'm like... It's the poly blood in me.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I want to ask. You got some mitts. I got
some mitts for sure.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
And then what?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Like, when did you realize, oh, shit, I could catch.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I didn't start playing receiver until like about my freshman year, actually.
I'm like, I always played my, all my older brothers,
I played running back and D-line.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
I'm like a linebacker.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
So I was like, running into people always made sense
to me. And then I like, I grew to about
like 6'1. I was like, you know what? I wouldn't
mind not getting hit as much.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
So I'm like, let me, let me go to the outside.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
You're definitely not getting hit as much, but I'm telling you, bro, like.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
You played football, right?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
What business did you play?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I played running back and linebacker.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
And, yeah, you get hit a lot, but, man, but
just going after that ball, when there are defenders coming
at you, like, and you don't know where they're coming from,
I never liked that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
There is a thrill of, like, when somebody gets, like,
a good shot at you, and then, like, you just, like,
stand up, and you're like, that's why I'm, like, my
celebration everybody's like man you gotta go like i don't
have the justin jefferson like the gritty or like jamar
yeah everybody's gotta dance i'm like you sit there you
flex on him just let him know like yeah you
gave me your best shot right i'm still standing up
like god like just smile at his face like yeah
try again.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Brother yeah no you're tough bro you're tough you could
get in the ring bro you could handle getting punched
in the face but one thing i wanted to ask
about was you versus that glass window pane at michael
rubin's white party.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
The glass window pane won. What happened?

Speaker 2 (10:25):
It was Snoop Dogg. I was so excited. And I'm like,
I was sitting there talking to Suni Lee. I had
to go find where Devante was at. And I turned
around and I'm like, they cleaned the windows really good. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
They were perfectly crisp. I'm like, you didn't see it coming.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Bro, I seen like a group of guys like rushing
towards something.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I was like, what's happening? I was leaving.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
So I was like, I'm going to see what's happening
on my way out. And you were in the corner
and you were bleeding from your face.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
And then I realized, oh, you must have ran into
this glass panel because I can't even see it.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
And I'm standing right.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Next to it.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
This is dangerous.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
They made me feel better when they said three other
people ran into it. But I'm like, nobody else ended
up bleeding from it. So I'm like, I don't know
if that made me feel much better or worse.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
You're an all-in kind of guy. Yeah. No, I took
a picture of it.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
I'm going to put the glass window pane on screen here.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
You'll see what we're saying.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, maybe they won't see.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
You won't see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
That's exactly it.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's better that way.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
This thing came out of nowhere, bro. Yo, Puka. By
the way, by the way, I will guarantee you.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Now, I bet there's an 80% chance Ruben removes it
for next year because people are running into it.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah. Liability.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's got to be. What do you say? That's my
request for the white party next year.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I love Ruben. Let's sue him for all he's worth.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
What do you say?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm not against that.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm like, let me get some, whatever's going on here
in FanFest.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
I'm like, let me get a little bit of this.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
We can take a piece, bro.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yo, other than the window, when you think about the
team that you're going to play on Sunday, right, or Monday,
who is the one defensive guy that you do not
look forward to seeing on the field? Who are you
the most scared of being hit by out there? I
don't want to use the word most scared, but.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
I'm like, Fred Warner, I think is definitely, I'm like,
he's the best. I'm like, you think?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Everybody's obviously so good in the NFL. There's nobody that
covers that much space. Like it's, and it's scary. There's like,
there's no, like the middle of the field is terrible.
I'm like, I will run routes. And I'm like, I
won't catch the ball. And he's standing right there. And
he's like, I knew exactly where you're going. And he's like,
I'm like, dude, I swear when I started the play,
you're on the left sideline. And now you're right here
sitting next to me. He's like, he's like, that's just

(12:36):
what I do.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
And it's funny.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Cause he played with my older brother. So there's like,
a friendly competition, but he's also like, that's our rival team.
So I'm like, Fred, I kind of hate you. We're
supposed to not like each other, but I also enjoy
watching you play.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Is there anyone that it is contentious with? There's a
little bit of like actual hostility on the field. Oh,
everybody on the Seahawks. Everybody on the Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm like, I don't know. Everybody over there can get
the smoke at any time. I'm like, we see them
over here. I don't know if there's any Seahawks players.
We got any Seahawks fans over here?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
That makes me feel a lot better. That makes me
feel a lot better.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Forget the Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm like, yeah, I hate everybody over there.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
No way. So you guys don't talk shit on the field?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh, 100%.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I'm like, there's no friends over there. I'm like, I
think the number one guy, Julian Love over there, I
think is his name, plays safety. We're not friends. He's
taken a couple shots at me mid-game, and I definitely
find my opportunities to get back at him in the.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Game, too. Hey, I want to ask you about a rumor.
So you ever been at the bottom of a dog pile?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I mean, kind of.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I feel like that's me every play.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I try not to go down and I'm always at
the bottom.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Because when I was growing up, I heard that at
the bottom of the dog pile, people are clawing each
other's eyes out and doing dirty shit.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Is it true? In the, during run plays, but I'm like,
when you're getting tackled, I feel like, cause there's less defenders,
but I'm like on a run play, a hundred percent, especially.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Near the goal line.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I'm like, everybody's just getting mashed right there. I'm like,
there's no, there's no room for space. And like, you're
just trying to find him like anybody to flinch. Cause
then you can get that extra space and you're like,
all right, this is where we're going.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah. Man, football's rough, dude. It's a rough sport.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
But there's no feeling, like, when you get in the
end zone, like, it makes it all worth it.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
When you get hit, like... You live there, bro. I try.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I'm like, Devontae scores all our touchdowns, too.

You've been robbed. I've never been there, too. I'm like,
you haven't taken me there yet, so I'm a little offended.
I will. We'll go when we get back. Honestly, I
was like, I just got the message from Birds. Birds
was like, hey, we're closed. And I was like, well,

Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's not true.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Bullshit.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
You want to know how I know that's not true?
Because you got a stylist and she walks around with them.

We see him everywhere. Bro, you're dedicated. Maybe I'll do
a trick after this Puka podcast. You do a trick.
I'll watch the trick.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can rip.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yo, Puka, do you... Can you please help my fantasy
football draft? You got.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
I've never played fantasy before, but I'm pretty sure you're
supposed to take a quarterback first, right?

Speaker 4 (18:04):
They do, but I don't know, though. Everybody's saying no.
That's not how it works. You would be my first.
I don't even want to get into it, but you
would be my first pick.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
100%.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, you put up points. Why don't you take a
quarterback first? What the hell?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Get him out of here!

Speaker 1 (18:21):
What was this? He almost took you down, coach.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Nah, this is an unsponsored ad. He's going to try
to sell that shirt now.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
No, I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
He's going to run ads against her for the next
16 months.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Who threw it? Was it you?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Why did you throw that?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yo. I can't hear you. I like that kid. I
like him.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yo, Puga, what's right now, what's the largest NFL contract
that's ever been secured as of right now? Because I
know you know what the number is because you're going
to get more than it, right?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, JSN, the receiver for the Seahawks, he signed, he's
like 42 a year.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
I mean, at least for my position.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
42 a year for how many years? Quarterbacks, I think
it was like for four years, four-year deal. Quarterbacks, Dak,
I think Dak's the highest guy. Dak's at like 60
or something like that. quarterback i mean shoot the receivers
how many we're getting close to quarterback money 100 i
mean dude you guys it only.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Goes up so it's like yeah you guys bring so
much of the excitement to the league like people are
watching the game to see those electrifying explosive passes and
touchdowns and so it's well deserved yeah how much you
want you want a quarter billy on the next one Shoot.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I'm like, honestly, I want to own a half a team.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I'm like, can I play in the league and still
have ownership in the team?

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Sick idea.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm like, I know Mr. Crocky. He's a big real
estate guy.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
So I'm like, whatever the next real estate deal is, like,
let me get a part of that.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Sick idea.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, that's out of the box thinking. And that sets
you up for life. That's what I'm trying to do.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, I feel like a lot of athletes will focus
on that bag. Now then they blow it on some
dumb shit.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Have you made any big purchases yet?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Not really, right? No, nothing crazy.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
I'm like.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
How come? That's in luxury.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I'm like, being in that, I felt like you get.
a decent amount of things like for free. I'm like,
I'm like, I use, I'm at the facility taking home
bags of like Gatorade. It's like, are you serious?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, this is all free.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm like, it's a, why do I, why do I
want to go buy protein shakes or anything else? I'm like,
I take all this stuff, all the supplements. I'm like,
it's everything's at the facility. I'm like, I feel like
I'm at. A kid at a candy store. It is
one of the perks.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
And I asked them like, you get to add our nutritionist.
I'm like, if there's anything like specifically that we want,
I'm like, Hey, can you get this?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
And then they order it in bulk. And I'm like,
all right, thank you. I'm taking this all home now.
You're talking like someone who did not grow up with money.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah i was a coach being the youngest brother i'm
like my brothers we're all like the same size shoe

The nfl like speeding there's only like 15 16 guys
in the nfl who signed to jordan and that's the
best thing in the world i'm like getting free shoes

I'm like, go get them. We got it. You grew
up in Las Vegas, right?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah. Is it true you grew up with Dana White's son? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Me, Little Dana, and Aiden, we all played in the
same Little League football team.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Aiden is his other son.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
What is Little Dana White? Like, he's hilarious. So it's funny.
He used to be our quarterback. I wear number 12
and he used to be number 12.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
It's like, that's amazing. It's like, we've been locked in.
I'm like, we just barely out together last night.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
I'm like, Uncle Dana.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh, he's here?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, he's out here too. Wait, so you, as a kid,
you were hanging out with... The Dana White? Yeah. At
the house.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Just, like, hanging out at the house. Uncle Dana, I'm, like,
still to this day, every time I see him, he'll
call me, like, Pooka the Cow. He never used to
say my name right all the time. Every time he
sees me, he's like, Pooka the Cow.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
It's hilarious. That's amazing. When you went over his house,
you were like, yo, this is, like, the UFC commissioner.
This is the UFC CEO.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
It didn't make sense when we were a kid, but
I'm like, the coolest thing, you used to have this
game den, a million Nerf guns.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
It was, like, the best arcade that you could ever
go to. Like, a little, like, the.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
pads that like jumping yeah yeah yeah all the golf
carts in the world i'm like we i don't know
how they didn't get kicked out of the neighborhood because
we used to ride those golf carts and take the
nerf guns all over the place and like shoot people
at their house and stuff like that we were all
over the place but it was the best time growing
up over there.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
I feel like you're definitely a little bit of a
troublemaker you want to stir the pot a little bit.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Being one of the younger brothers, I think a little bit.
How many brothers?

Speaker 1 (22:39):
I got five brothers.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
What the?

Speaker 4 (22:41):
And he rolls every, dude, he rolls with them. Like, dude,
I'll talk to him and be like, yo, we got
a dinner tonight. You know, like a real exclusive stuff.
He's like, can my brother come?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Can my brother come? Like every time, bro. He always
brings them. He's a real, he's a good. It's also
a Pauly thing. I'm like, Pauly come from, like, come
from big family. But it's like, yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
I'm like, shoot.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
I don't know. I'm like, I'm sure you roll with
your brother to a decent amount of stuff.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
But it's like, that's always just how it's been for me. Yeah, no,
I agree.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
If I could go with him to more places, I
definitely would. Do you have a favorite brother?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, I'm like, Samson, Samson's definitely, I'm like, you guys
right in the back. He's always with him.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
We cruise together.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I'm like, people always think we're... Samson actually is probably
more well-known at SoFi than I am. I was at
the Moana premiere where I got to meet The Rock,
me and my mom.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
I got to meet The Rock and his mom.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
And I had these Disney execs come up and they're like, hey,
is your brother Samson here?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
I was like, what?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
No, no, he's not. They're like, man, last time we
were at SoFi, we were with him. He was such
a blast. We had such a good time. I'm like, sweet,
nice to meet you. My name's Puka. Samson's not here, sadly.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Sorry. I'm like, next time I'll bring him.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Dude, five brothers is nuts. Did they beat the shit
out of you? Bro, that was like all my— so my
first year of football, Samson's three years older than me.
I played on his football team. He was the starting quarterback.
I played left tackle my first year of football, and
he was the quarterback. My best memory, I got Pancake, dude,
just like sitting on top of me. And I look up,

(24:08):
and Samson's in the end zone. He scored a touchdown,
and I'm like— that's my brother yeah i just pancaked
you i'm like well it doesn't matter that's my brother
touchdown so i'm like i was a tackling dummy like
all growing up like we'd be in the backyard my
dad was my first football coach like we'd be in
the backyard no grass back in vegas it's too hot
like just straight rocks and dirt in the backyard and
just getting mauled.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
That shit helps helps you get tough though yeah like
football is a tough sport being the younger brother playing
on that rocks and shit, not growing up with money, bro.
I feel like it all helps you to become the
person who you are now.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
A hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm like that, the like, yeah, that's why I think
getting hit, honestly, it doesn't feel bad.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
I'm like, I guess, yeah, when you're saying it, I'm like, ah,
I do get hit a.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Lot, but I'm like, it makes it a little bit
more fun. Now it's my turn to finally hit somebody.
I've been waiting for this moment. And when you finally
get to win, like growing up, I'm like, you're the
older brother. So I'm like that, like the, like put
your palm on it, like your palm on his forehead.
And like, he's like trying to fight. I'm like, that's
when I grew up every day of my life. So
now it's like when I can do like you stiff
arm somebody, I'm like, yeah, little bro, watch out. That's amazing. Hey, Puka,

(25:12):
you talked about your dad, too, and he passed when
you were young. You were 11, right?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
How much of a role did your brothers play, your
older brothers play, as a fatherly role in your life?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
They were huge. I'm like, that was just him being
my first football coach and just being surrounded. That's why
I think football is such a safe place for me.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Growing up, after he passed away.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
And like, that was the thing that we connected doing
was playing football. So I'm like, every time I get
to go out there, especially like the national anthem is
like a moment where I'm like, say my prayer. And
I feel like I get a chance to like, to
speak to my father and he's there. His presence like
helps me, helps calm me. And then he go out
there and like, all right, I'm doing what you taught
me to do.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
I'll go out there and mash some of them. You
could say, you know, you should have heard what I
was saying yesterday. I was saying some crazy stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You know, I'm also a BYU guy.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
So I'm like swearing is not.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Oh, I forget about that sometimes.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
He went to BYU, dude. He's a proper like.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I went to University of Washington for two years and
then BYU for two years.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Wait, so are you a Mormon? I grew up in
the church.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Wait, so you are, you're... Yeah, yeah. Oh, no way,
so you really don't swear? Yeah, I mean... You try
not to, try not to. Yeah, I try not to, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:20):

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Wow, dude. Energy drinks, I'm like, I don't know how
I'm like... Sorry, I'm like... No, no, that's hydration, right? Yeah. Wait, wait.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
How do you have such high energy?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
What? How do you stay out?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Life is good. He's also really young. How old are
you now? I just barely turned 25, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I feel like you're going to start getting.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Tired, bro.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Shit gets tiring. You got to sleep.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'm like, eight hours of sleep. I'm like, you wear
the horror ring.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
You try to sleep. You are not getting eight hours.
You didn't get eight hours last night. I know. I
definitely didn't get eight hours last night. Yeah, but listen, nobody.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
This weekend, bro, nobody. Every night, everybody's out all night.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Like, you go to this place, and LeBron's there, four,
and there's Drake and SGA. This is actually Fanatics Fest.

Speaker 1 (27:05):

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Shout out to Michael Rubin. This is the greatest weekend
of the year in New York City.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Ayo!

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I'm sorry. I used to do it in my vlogs.
It's the entrance for my theme song. Hey, yo, I'm sorry.
I got two shirts up on WWE shop fanatics right now.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I hate Logan Paul. Yes, I am the one behind it.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
You're going to monetize the haters and still humble because
after all, I am your humble king. And I'm going
to stay humble because I'm just that humble. You can
grab my shirts and all WWE merch, hats, tees, replica
title belt, superstar collections on WWE shop and fanatics.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Get yours today. Back to the show.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
This is like my second time in New York. I
came out for like half a day before we went
to the Hamptons.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
This is your second time? Yeah, we've played here. We
played the Giants. We played the... We played the Jets.
That was the worst game in the world when we
played the Jets over here. Why, why, why?

Speaker 2 (27:57):
We played in, like, January. It was, like, negative, like,
17 degrees. I'm like, the whole field was frozen. Like,
there's only, like, a quarter of the field that got sunlight.
If you got tackled over there, for sure, instant concussion
as soon as you hit the ground. It was so cold.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
It was awful.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Have you ever met a Jets fan in real life?

Speaker 3 (28:13):
No.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's impossible. Is there a Jets fan here? No way.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, we got one.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
No way.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's bad, too.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
He reluctantly raves. He's like, ah, man.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Dude, it's so lonely for them, like all the Gary
Vaynerchuks out there. I mean, dude, their initials, Jets, just
end the season.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
That's crazy, bro. That's the first time I've heard that,
but that's awful. Just end the season. That's bad.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Are there any places that you don't enjoy playing? Like,
I've always been curious about this. If you play in Denver,
does the altitude affect your game?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I think so a little bit, especially on, like, you're
in there for such a short amount of time. Like,
if we play at 1 p.m. kickoff on Sunday, we
get there Saturday night. So it's like you don't acclimate. Yeah,
not at all.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
So we actually play there this year.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
I'm excited. They're one of the best defenses in the league.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
So it'll be fun to play them. That's a good year.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
For sure who what other what other predictions do you
have for this year like who are you who are
you looking at and watching out for i'm.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Like we i know everybody on our team i'm like
i hate always having to mention them but i'm like
we gotta like play the seahawks will be fun our
division this year i think i'm.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Like i feel like everybody hates the seahawks a little
bit nfl they're just they're just not the team that
you want.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
To be friendly with yeah nobody enjoys them i'm like
the only i love cooper cup i'm like that's why
i love coop so i'm like that's the only person
over there that gets a pass from me but everybody
else there I'm like it's on site damn bro see.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
I'll be honest with you I feel a little bit
for the Seahawks I'll tell you what Seattle is just
like I don't like I go to Seattle and I'm
like why There's nothing over there.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Not enjoyable. How did this city produce a Super Bowl
winning team?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
They have good coffee.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
By the way, Seattle also, contrarily, there are a lot
of big businesses that started there.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I think Amazon started there. Wizards of the Coast. Trading
card company manufacturer. Nike's not based there, are they? That's Oregon.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
It is a little bit of a sleeper, but I'm
just shocked that such a good team is in Seattle.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, they came out and I'm like, their head coach
is pretty good.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I'm like, I feel like Coop had a big influence
on their environment and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
How much does a head coach affect the team's ability
to be good?

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Oh, it comes from the top down. I'm like, yeah,
it's the most, not the most important piece.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'm like, I feel like your quarterback, the person who
touches the ball every play for you is the most important.
But that relationship between, I'm like, I feel like Coach
McVay and Matthew, I'm like, they're great.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
They're masterminds. Yeah, you do. They know exactly how to
speak to each other.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
And it's so, like, it's awesome to see because you're, like, they,
as the season goes on and, like, they accumulate more information, like,
the better they get at communicating.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
It's like, all right.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm like, when we're installing plays and I'm like, ah,
this is, it's going to be a good week this week.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
I like where we're headed right now. How hard is
it to memorize plays?

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
They are not i wouldn't sound like as i've gotten
in this i've only been in this offense it's not
too bad but as a quarterback like knowing like how
to like call out the whole play i'm like south
right clamp i'm like f fox into uh.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
F choice stucco like.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
I'm like yeah it's dude the football so funny like
every sport has like intricacies that i think like a
casual fan like doesn't understand yeah and football plays are
confusing bro yeah i feel like you got to memorize
a lot.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Especially as like a quarterback i'm like i can only
so like the headset i'm like they can hear the
coach like our offense coordinator whoever it is like speaks
to them in the headset but at 15 seconds like
the it goes out so it's like if you don't
get the play call in before that time it's like
do you You trust the quarterback either to make the call,
and then you're like, what's about to happen? You see everybody,

(32:03):
they got the headset, they have the paper that covers
their face. The amount of swear words that is coming out.
If they didn't get the play call off, and now
they're just sitting there watching them make the play, you're like, wow,
that's not at all what I called.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
That's terrible. But Matthew does a pretty good job. He
knows exactly. It's so funny.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
He'll be like, yeah, we're playing the... the Eagles and
like Vic Fangio is their defensive coordinator. And he's like,
he's like, ah, he's like, ah, he was in this
defense like 10 years ago when I was with the lions.
And like, this is the guy that he coached now too.
Like they're all part of a tree. Like it's like,
it's so he's like, I know exactly what he's going
to do or like, and so it makes it so fun.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Cause you're like, all right. Whatever play call you want,
I'm running, coach. We're dialed. Yeah. And you trust Matt?

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Oh, 100%.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I'm like, no doubt. It's been good working with Stafford?

Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's why I'm like, that's why I'm like, the ability
to like think about just going to catch the ball
and like getting hit. It's like, it's never, it never,
no other thought occurs in my brain because I'm like,
I have so much trust. How much does that.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
like quarterback selection come into your selection of a team,
like of who you want to play for? Like what
if you get placed on a team with like a
rookie quarterback or something like that? Do you want to
play with a veteran quarterback?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I feel like, yeah, I would, it would like, it
has way more benefits of like somebody who understands, like
has the confidence where it's like you, you come in
like playing from college, like one, the system's different. The
understanding of like where everybody is on the field is different.
But yeah, I'm like, matthew's gonna get ready to retire
soon so i'm like these are things that are like
coming up soon so i don't really know i'm like
i would uh yeah i don't dude i've been spoiled

(33:36):
i've been spoiled like i'm walking into like a hall
of fame quarterback i'm like i have no idea what
else it's gonna be like.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
I just started laughing just now because i thought of
uh Do you know what my favorite video of you
is outside the field?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
I've told you a million times.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
What? The one of you launching yourself into the SUV
with the big pants on. Every time I saw, I
watched that video for like a week straight. Like, do
you know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
I think so.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
When he was like going to his car at the
end of the night and like all the paparazzi was
out there and everybody was recording him. He just, he
like just launched himself like this into the backseat of
the car. When something like that happens and you wake
up the next day and it's like one, like 12 PM,
1 PM, it's off season.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Do you get a call from Sean McVay or from anyone? Like,
who calls?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Or your agent?

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Remember the dude at the Yes Chef dinner, and he
kept telling me, he's like, dude, you got to keep
him inside. It's a contract year. He can't be doing it.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Do you remember? What's his name, the dude that.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Was with us? Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
I think that was Tony. Yes, he was.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
But who calls you when that video pops.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Up?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, luckily, no calls from Coach. I'm like, that's only
if something, like, really bad is happening to him.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
That is my favorite. Definitely my agent. I'm like, I
did get some texts. I'm like, that's a FaceTime. We're like, hey, like,
are you free at this time? Like, let's call and
chat and see what's going on. But I was like,
as long as you're, like, being safe. I'm like, that's
what I'm like. Well, yeah, you were getting in the
backseat of an Uber. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
You know what I'm saying? But it was just so
funny because you, like, Superman'd into it. A little Mario hopped.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Like, right into the car.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
I know exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I want to ask you about your time in social media.
You've had a couple mishaps.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Do you.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Do you like scope out the people that you might
do streams with a little bit more now or like
or has your team made you think about it a
little bit more after what happened with Aiden, for example?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, 100 percent.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
I'm like they're definitely there's a little bit more like
thought and like going what's going on and like, all right, hey,
let's like let's preface like let's let's have like somewhat
of an itinerary of some of the things that might
be happening or like what's going to be said and done. Um,
I wouldn't say I'm like, I'm, I'm big into the
streaming world anymore.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I think I had a decent little run. I'm like,
I think I'm over it. That whole thing sucked though.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Like not to get into it too much, but like,
it was just unfortunate because you had no, you, I
knew you had no idea.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Like he's just making you do dumb stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
And you guys had neon on the other day too.
I'm like, every time I see him, I'm like, he's
always just like, Oh my gosh. Like, so good to
see you.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Like hope all as well.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Like, and I'm like, I didn't die, bro. Obviously not
an ideal situation. Like what happened went down, but I'm like,
I'm all right. Like I'm still doing good.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Well, that's like part of the problem with, you know,
being in any of these industries is like, I know
you so well behind the scenes. So when something happens
and people pass judgment based on what they think they
know of you and same with him, you know what
I'm saying?

Speaker 1 (36:16):
It just sucks, bro.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
You know?

Speaker 1 (36:17):
And I think it's something that you're always up against.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah. That's the other thing of like being in LA
where it's like, there's like, you can't, there's always somebody watching.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I'm like, you leave birds or you go, we're at dinner.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
I'm like, when we went to Sonny's, bro, I'm like,
just the people walking, like going by on like the tourist,
like cars and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
It's like, there's always like somebody watching.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I'm like, in the day of like having a phone
and like, there's always somebody that is recording, doing something.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
So you always gotta be on your toes.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
And I feel like the more that you do, the
more that you just go out and live your life,
the more likely someone is to try to catch you
doing something they don't like, or they don't agree with.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah. Like you're just living your life, right? I think
it like pisses people off.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
I think people want you to live in a box
and Puka certainly doesn't live in that box, like on
the field or off the field. He plays in a,
in a super aggressive way. He lives life in an
aggressive and like fun way. And I, I deal with
that myself, even just how I live my life and
the things that are expected from me at my age.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
You see this stuff.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
And it's like, dude, whenever you don't live by some
sort of societal playbook, people don't like.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
It, dude. Yeah, they start coming for you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
I built for it.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
You 100% are built for it, for sure, dude.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Back to the show.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
I'm always curious about how athletes like you function at
such a high level during the games and on the
field and in practice and also like you play hard
i've never been able to do both i gotta like
i gotta like i gotta lock in when i'm when
i'm like trying to focus on the on the craft
especially when i'm putting my body on the line yeah
like how do how how are you able to do

(38:46):
that especially with no caffeine is crazy bro that you
got that energy the smelling salts i'm like that's i'm
like they banned it from that i mean i.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Don't know wait wait those smelling salts are they are
they banned i don't i think they said shunned Yeah,
I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
I'm like, every series, right before we go out, I'm like,
I pop two of those. Are you serious, bro?

Speaker 2 (39:05):
And I also, I'm like, I have like a routine,
like before we go out and like... the series, I
get slapped on the back. I'm like, I want to
be like, you get something like the jitters on, like
you get hit. I'm like, I asked one of the linemen,
I'm like, some of the biggest guys on the team.
I'm like, hey, like three slaps on the back right
before we go out and like get the jitters out.
And like, sometimes like you, like I close my eyes
and like relax. So I'm like, sometimes they hit me
and you get the little like jerk in the back
of my neck.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
I'm like, all right, that didn't feel great, but now
I'm ready to go.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Get hit.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Oh, man. Dude, dude, I tried those smelling salts once.
It was horrible. It was horrible.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
They fire you off. Fire like a burning sensation. It
lit my brain on fire. It went straight up my nose.
And just like right here, I didn't even do the
full thing. It was just a little whiff.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Right, you get the eyes a little watery.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
You know what's funny about the question you asked him?
Because I think it comes up a lot in this conversation.
When you have someone, and it doesn't happen often, that
plays statistically week in, week out at the level that
he plays, the people who make the rules about what
people are able to do after the games and on
the weekends, they got to start asking themselves some tough questions.

(40:16):
For example, Manziel, college days. Johnny, you can't be doing
this stuff. Goes out, Heisman, every week, week in, week out, touchdown,
running balls in, throwing balls in, unstoppable. So then coaches
and agents start asking the question, like, do we want
to mess with.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
The system at all? Do you mess with the flow?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 (40:37):
Dude, that's like the past couple seasons for you have
been like that, dude.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
It's like watching magic happen every single season.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Time.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
I got to get on that app and pick my overs.
And I see that name come up. I'm like, this
is the most sure thing every single week. So it's like,
who's going to call you and be like, yo, you
need to get home earlier.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
It's a week. It's like a conundrum.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (40:59):
You got, you got, you got to let the, I
think you got to let the artist be in a way.
And you're, I'd say an artist as well.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
I'm like, football, it's my safe space. You find that flow.
You find that rhythm when you get out there. You
have your routine.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
You go out there and do warm-up.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
But it's also like, yeah, in the season, there becomes
such like you're there Monday, Tuesday's your off day, Wednesday practice,
Thursday's our biggest day, Friday.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So it's like you have this routine and rhythm.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
And then Sunday, I'm like, I have a playlist that
I only listen to on game day. Those are my songs.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
What's on it?

Speaker 1 (41:33):
What's on it? I'm like, I listen to a lot
of Drake. I'm like, I love house music, too. I'm like,
I got Muppet Fisher, like, on pre-chorus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
But, like, I'll get out there. Bro, do not listen
to a song called I'm Losing It.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Don't. Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
No, that's what I got.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
I'm losing it.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
No, you can't. Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It's bad?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
I listen to that song every single day while I
was preparing for my second fight against KSI.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Every day is how we started it. And then I lost.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
And my friend said to me, you listen to a
song called I'm Losing every day. Like, bro, there's got
to be something in the air. I was almost training
my brain. I'm losing it. I kind of believe in
that shit. Don't you dare destroy the sanctity of that program.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
I love Fisher.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
The song's amazing. Dude, that song has led to... Don't
do it, Puka. Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
I'm like the Fisher remix I have.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
World.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Hold on yeah i'm like yeah that's that's fine that's
great but i'm like 100 i'm like that's like everything
that you say i'm like the communication i'm.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Like yeah words are the affirmations yes i'm telling you
it has a huge influence i'm like what yeah i
have reminders on my phone i'm like be the baddest
effort in the world like i'm like no i'm like
yeah i'm like Look, my one right here says, become
everyone's worst effing nightmare. Like, I'm like, yeah. They're up
on the phone right now. I'm like, you see those

(42:57):
every day. And it's like, yeah, that communication to yourself.
I'm like, that's one of, I think one of the
most underrated things that people don't talk about in the
NFL is like, confidence has got to be one of
the best skill sets that you have. I'm like, you
go out there and you're not confident.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
You could be like, I mean, I'm just thinking of
Miles Garrett.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Like, you can have the best skill set, all the
physical attributes, but you go out there and you play
with no confidence. The room for error is so small
in the NFL. It's like, You'll go out there and
not perform to the best of your ability.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
So I'm like having that confidence and like those sayings
that I'm like, yeah, it makes a huge difference. Mindset's huge.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Words are important.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
You put that Drake, I'm a legend on it.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
That's the third time you mentioned you're a big Drake guy.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Oh, 100%.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
He's here. Have you met him?

Speaker 1 (43:37):
No. So he definitely knows who you are.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Have you considered what that moment looks like when Drake's like, yo, Puka,
appreciate what you're doing out there on the field.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
He's going to acknowledge you.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
100%. I'm like, I just got to make sure. I'm like,
that's got to be the best dap.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
I ever had in my life.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Handcuffed and everything ready. I'm like, ah.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Hey, hey.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Do I drop a line from the song? I'm sure
he does. Bro, he's literally the coolest guy in the world.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
There are some celebrities here that when you meet them,
like real A-listers, that when you meet them, you're just like,
I fucking get it.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
And by the way, thank God you're as cool as
I thought you were in my mind and more.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
He's one of them.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Just a cool-ass guy. You can say whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
He'll be cool.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
Who are your top three? Because I got my top three.
One of them, I don't think he likes very much.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Top three.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
My top three big A-list people I've ever met in
terms of their personality and cool factor, Kevin Hart. Every
time I see him, highest energy, always down to roll
and party and do whatever.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
John Cena. John Cena. Because Cena will remember.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Anything you say to him from years ago and ask
you about your sister.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
He'll remember everything. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
And then number three, the man with the most sauce.
The greatest of all time, Tom Brady, bro. I hate
to say it. He is one of the coolest people
in the world, dude.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
He's the GOAT. And he got hands, bro. What's the beef?

Speaker 1 (45:01):
I just barely saw that the other day. He'll tell you.
He can tell you.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
It's not like there's beef.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
I just beat his ass at his own game that
he said he was going to clown me at in
flag football. And then I rubbed it in his face
a little bit. And he's a very competitive guy, and
I think I got in his head. Yeah, it makes sense.
I'm sure that guy hates losing.
