Download our stuff if you want. We're in it, boys. Come join the den. Come join the bus. Come join the bus, my puppies. Drop the hook tail. Let's get into this conversation. What was your first thought walking on this bus?

I was like, this is a dope bus. That was your first thought? You were like nervous? I mean, no, not at all. I mean, honestly, I wasn't expecting to see this luxury interior. You know, we got some AC on here. Like I said, it's pretty dope. Delaney called it a racist bus.

That's why I was asking. He called it a racist bus. He's like, yeah, I'm the first. you know, a black dude on the racist bus. I mean, we're laughing. No, I was thinking it's dope. And then you see all the stickers at the top. It's like got a lot of heritage on here.

I haven't looked at all of them, but. He said a lot of heritage, a lot of character, a lot of character. You see what we have. I see a cartoon network, you know? Yeah, there's some good ones on here. We had to tape over a couple of them. You know, it gets a little sketchy. So you kind of, we kind of knew we were getting into.

Like, hey, boys, we're going to have to get a little tape job on this bus. Right, right, right. Before we take this thing. viral. No, this is dope, though, man. I actually took a picture one time of when we were just getting the bus set up. Right. And I posted it on Instagram, like on the story, like all the buses coming along.

We didn't have the tape stuff up. I was in this. So I just put it up. Right. And DeMorg had deigned me like, hey, it might be a couple stickers on there you want to cover up. And it was back there. It's where you see that one right over the Budweiser.

And he had zoomed in on it. He's like, hey, man, you might have a couple stickers on that. You might want to tape up. And I was like, oh shit, hey, good call, bro. You're right, you're right. We got to get that going. Yeah, man. You're the first one, though.

You're the first, well, I mean, defensive player. Right. You're not the first one. Delaney was the first one. But you're the first one on the defensive side, bro, that's on the bus. Man, I feel honored, man. I feel honored. Do the boys know?

Do the boys know you were coming on? A couple of the boys, you know? So the fact that they know I'm coming on there, everybody's like, I think I want to get on, I want to get on. I want to get on. Yeah, now they want to get on the train. Yeah, they want to get on the train. him going to hype train. Like I said, man, this podcast.

And I remember the first podcast you did because I listened to it, and you gave me a shout out. Listen, when Will first signed with the Titans last year, he was like the funniest dude on the team ASAP. Like him and Taylor, first of all, they clicked. I thought that maybe they knew each other before they was on a team because they clicked immediately. I didn't pay for this.

Continue. Look, they clicked immediately. But this guy just had the craziest character. And he popped off. Remember the little game we played last year with the knives? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, stabbing people. Man, that joe was cool.

Like, are you guys doing that again? I don't know, man. I don't think we have any. It doesn't sound like it because you guys got like one week left. Yeah, we don't have no boys on the team like that, man. You know what I'm saying? That's coming up with the flavors like that. So I think, you know, Taylor's missing this boy, Will.

It's funny. I was going to say Willie because it's funny because very people we start. Do that to everybody. Oh, right? Everybody's name. Willie, Logie. Yeah, hey, Willie. You know what I'm saying here, Willie?

Like fuck man just sunning me Might as well pat me on the head call me Willie You just trying to son you Yeah you were uh it was you Logan I always remember you Logan and Derek Morgan That something set in with me like yo I need to I just need to go after doing this podcast Not for sure

Because you know you know how it is dude You're always like whatever you do that's off the field Right or whenever you do something that like Could potentially be not like a reach right Like me doing the podcast me having my own podcast Right You're doing anything off the field that seems like you're doing something, you're dabbling in something else.

Right. And you bring it or it's kind of around the locker room or around the guys. Like me personally, you know, I'm like a little like wondering what your boys might think of you having a podcast. Like I know my friends and people back home would say. But, you know, you guys or anybody else like Derek coming in doing this vegan thing or just anybody doing something that does something outside of ball, you're always like a little tighter walking around like, oh, okay, I want my boys are going to think. Exactly. Exactly.

Now, you always have good conversations. You always bring up some good topics, some good different things. So I was like, man, you should start a podcast, bro, because you know what I'm saying? You got it all. You got to question stuff. It's funny. I think the funniest thing that Will probably did one of the most memorable things other than, you know, making hell of tackles on the field, you know, stuff like that,

me and him running down on a put team and stuff like that. In training camp, this dude did a skit of Rable and came in with the Rable, the jacket. The cutoff jacket. The cutoff jacket, just like Braybaud, with the little dip damn there with the cup. Bro, this man killed. He had the whole locker room dying laughing. That's probably the most memorable moment that I can remember.

Bro, that was, I was nervous on that too because you asked a couple guys. I don't see how because you were, you killed it. Well, Wes and a couple guys, they're like, you know, I don't know if it's the best idea, like making fun of the head coach. But I felt like I was, if Rable, like, he's tied with everybody, right? Right, yeah, yeah. So I'm sitting there like, man, you know, everybody else was telling me like, do it, do it, do it. And our rookie, the rookies last year, fucking sucked. Yeah, that was trash.

And so we had to do something to kind of liven up the rookie show. And I was like, I got full gear on that Vrable wears at practice. Right. I'm walking, trying to walk in the meeting room, holding the iPad with a little pep in your step. And just start, you know, going in on film. I had film. I had a cut up put together. And I'm trying to talk to the team, how, you know, Vraib talks to the team.

It was funny. It was good. Thank God. I didn't bomb me. You saved training camp, bro. You saved training camp for everybody. brightened everybody day i think after that man everybody just feel rejuvenated ready to go to practice ready to finish training camp because like i said that was hilarious should i appreciate

that man that was hilarious i appreciate that man you need anything to drink no man you know i got my little defiant feel right here you know what i'm saying i'm plugged that in real quick stay hydrated i'm word that we didn't our guy matt neely didn't get us waters on the way here and keep hydrated i'm uh i'm about to drink a lecroy you ever drink lecroy's i haven't drunk it but my lady she drunks it all the time drunks it what do we hey come on now look because i was look i was about to say something she used to drink it all the time until listen man just about last year in october man it was but there's something about lecroy they had a recall really it was a recall bro you got the article man i got it on my phone bro like read that listen bro i'm gonna have to do somebody was chirping me

but before you take a sip listen before you take a sip i will somebody uh you looked that up i was um I was on Twitter, and I guess there was a picture posted, and there was a La Croyce in behind me, because I always got, I always drink ice lattes. Obviously, obviously water, but there's a La Croyce because when you run out of water, I just, I grab something because it's like flavored water. What I assume, you're about to tell me something else,

but the guy's like, oh, so La Croy's the move on the bus, I guess kind of trying to take a little shot at me. So I had to tell me, you know, yeah, alpha move. Even before, you know, I mentioned this, what got you into sparkling water, like? Sparkling water? Yes, I don't know. I think it's disgusting, in my opinion.

Honestly, it is. I don't disagree with you. Like, I don't want to drink the sugary stuff or the things like that, put that kind of stuff in your body. Like, and I all constantly, we're always drinking water. Right. So I just like to, personally, I like to switch it up and taste something else every now. Even if it's, even if it's like dog shit sparkling water, I just, Pee-P put me on the La Croy's. He was talking about him.

So I was like, I'll give him a try. I tasted it. Obviously, it's shitty, but it's different than water. So I don't know what it is, man. I kind of just force myself to do it. It's like when I drink sparkling water, I'm expecting just that. much of sugar, like soda, and it's just flat, and it just disappoints me. It pisses me off, and I just... Because they got these magical flavors on it. Like pampal moose, naturally essence.

I don't know, but it sounds exciting. It's got yellow and pink, like pample moose. It's a shit. Get me that shit. Forget the water. Give me the pample mousse. It's just like a mystery flavor, bro. Like pample moose, like, honestly, I think you might see them like, oh, shit, I want to taste. I want to see what's the flavor. So what, what's the deal with LeCroy while I take this drink? McCroy is facing a lawsuit, dog. A lawsuit? A lawsuit. And I'm going to tell you why.

It's probably one of the most disgusting things that you can think of. They're facing a lawsuit for supposedly using cockroach. Cockerose. Hey, wait, wait. What's a cockroach? I say cockroach. That's the down south, huh? Yeah, that's the down south thing.

I say cockroach, but it's cockroach. Yeah, there you go. I love it. We got my dog over here with the proper grammar. Got the fucking grammar police. You know what I'm saying? But, no, man, they putting insecticide ingredients. in the sparkling water, bro.

They're facing a lot of... Cockroaches and, like, what is it? Insects? Insecticide. Is that real? Yeah. And they put that shit in La Croy? Supposedly. Allegedly.

Yeah. Allegedly. That's what it is. You know what I'm saying? Using my law turns, allegedly. Hey, well, thank you, P.P. for putting me on La Croy. He had no clue. He's a commie.

My favorite tweet about La Croy was... It said LeCroy tastes like somebody just ate a fruit salad burped in my water. That's a good little explanation. It's a good description. Yeah, it's a good description. See, I'm usually a nice latte guy of water. Now you put me on the spot.

You call my shit for the LaCroix and I'm going to have to do away with it. I get off the LaCrore, man. Get on some defiance fuel water or, you know. So we were having it. We were talking about that, the defiance fuel stuff. Yeah. I like, I do Ascentia. Yeah, Centsia is good.

Defiance fuel. And we were talking about the use of plastic. The use of plastic. Yeah, trying to minimize our use of plastic as a team to be a little more environmental friendly. Okay. Because all the plastic that gets dumped in the recycling, like, I don't know, going great. Like, I'm not, I don't read into all that stuff. I try to do.

Like, when I hear something, I try to be a little more thoughtful about it. But, you know, a lot of the plastic and stuff doesn't, like, it gets dumped in these oceans off coasts of, you know, other countries. So recycling. So, recycling. So I, I forget where I heard. this from. I think it was around my football camp. One of my boys who came in my football camp. I was like, hey, guys, make sure to recycle.

It's my girl, she recycles. A lot of people recycle. Like, the whole go-green thing, right? Yeah. And apparently most recycling now gets shipped off the coast of what? The coast of like India or Asia or... I think it gets shipped to China. A third world country, right? Third world countries. They get shipped the third world countries

and they basically throw it in the ocean. Wow. In big nets. Apparently there's a net out there in the ocean. It's like the size of Texas filled with plastic and recycling. What do you got, Pee, and when there's other countries that are actually using it and recycling it, but the United States, the recycling has gotten so bad that these countries are starting to send it back to us. And when you say recycling's gotten so bad, I like to think that we have made such a movement to try to recycle, but we just don't know what to do with it. Well, people aren't,

like you're supposed to wash things and essentially when you do it, you're supposed to, it's supposed to be clean. Really? When you put it in there. Yeah, but, and people aren't doing that. So the countries that actually do recycle it are like, nah,

this is just nasty. This ain't that, boss. I just start recycling like this year, probably about a month or two ago. Hey, me too, to be honest. Hold on,

I don't know. Like, I just started recycling like a butter to go and I was feeling good about it. Right. You feel better. I took my recycling bin out to the front. They picked it up.

I'm like, man, I'm doing something good. Now you telling me this is like. I know. Last year I did the same thing. My girl moved in with me last year. I mean, I'm just an animal.

I'm a dude. Like just living, just that Bachelor life where you're playing video games, you're throwing shit away like you want. Right, never make my bed. Never did that until she came along. And she's making me recycle, like using paper bags to recycling. And I'm like, babe, what the, what are we doing? Like, let me just throw this shit away.

Right. And she got me in a recycling last year. And then, you know, I'm telling my boys to do it at my football camp. And he hits me with that knowledge. And now I'm like, yo, is it even worth recycling? Yeah, the answer probably is still continuing recycled. Hey, look, there's that garbage. That's an island of garbage.

That's not garbage on an island. But it's unbelievable. You probably can walk on that. I heard that there were in 10 years or 20 years. I don't remember the figure, but there would be more plastic than fish in the ocean. No, it won't. Well, you know, that's, I think that's, I don't even know the right word's objective. It might be a stretch, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if that's true. because we've only discovered what three percent of the water in the ocean i mean we don't we don't know we just throw numbers out there that kind of try and make these movements sometimes hey there's going to be more plastic in the water than fish boys yeah twice the size of texas i mean i have you look now twice the size of texas that's crazy i have been seeing like they'd be getting a lot of like wells and dolphins or whatever from out the ocean and they're finding like nothing but plastic or just regular fish there's

nothing but plastic in their stomachs that's crazy bro, you're a solid co-host. Hey, man, you know, man, y'all might have to full-time, hey, Taylor. Hey, you better get back on, baby. Listen, man, this thing is up for grabs right now. This thing is up for grabs right now. This thing is up for a good co-host. Yeah, we might have to.

We get along good. Y'all, I'd be saying y'all, you'd be arguing a lot of times. You can go back and forth. Listen now. Better get right now. We might have to open up tryouts again. Hey, my, hey, we don't know what he's doing right now. Yeah, the boy's sick.

Yeah, apparently he's got the black lung. He's got a cough going on. I always called the black lung because that movie Zoolander. Where, you know, fakes the little cough. Like, I think I got the black lung, Paul. But no, man, this is good. You're sitting in the boy's chair. Yeah, man.

First defensive player. You know, what's funny is I actually DM, I've texted. I've reached out to several of the guys because obviously I want everybody to come on here. Right, right, right. It's awesome. Everybody's got a story to tell, and I want to hear about all that type of shit. And have fun, raise a little hell. Like, do stuff to where it's like, you get sick of probably a camera in front of you all the time.

You do. You got to structure sentences in certain ways because if not, they're going to take it and make a little headlines. You got to keep everything political. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, I want everybody to get on here. And I actually, Logan's going to come on. I hit up Jay on. I want to text west.

Like, I want to get all the boys on. Yeah, make sure you get them boys on here before this minicap because, you know, these guys be on that first flight. Right, right. Yeah, I know. And that's what we were talking about these next couple weeks. Like, we got to, whoever's in town, we have to hit them and see their schedules and stuff like that. but I actually DM Kenny Kenny over the weekend

Kenney needs to get on he needs to get on. He tweeted and said, yo, let me get out, let me jump on this bus. So we're obviously like, yeah, of course, let's get the boy on. I DMed him on instant. Fast forward,

I DM him on Instagram. Right. And I'm like, hey man, let's get you on the bus. When can you come on? Right. And my man left me on scene. Left you on scene.

He left me on scene, disrespectful. It's like now I'm feeling like a little, now I'm feeling like a thought. Now I'm feeling like a chick trying to hit him up in the DMs and he just left me on scene. You left you on scene.

Like I said, it's almost like you text somebody, you text somebody, and then you wait for a reply, and you see the bubbles pop up? Yeah. And then it just goes away. Bro, that hurts too. Sometimes I'll think I'll leave you on red. Right, right? You read on those receipts.

Like I'll sit there, I think I say a funny joke or something like that. People like, the bubbles will come up and go away. Bubbles will come up and go away. Bubbles will come up, go away. And I'm sitting there looking like, oh, yeah, I'm going to get a good little response. Exactly. And no response comes. And then I, now I have to text back and say, hey, did that joke not hit?

Because obviously you saw it. Exactly. Or you see the bubbles be out there for a long time and did you hit you with the okay. It's like, bro, I thought she was about to text me a whole paragraph. Right, right. Like, I guess I'm not worth all that. But yeah, he loved me on scene. So now I feel like he needs to come to us now because I can't be annoyed to.

You can't. You already played your hand. Yeah. Yeah. Now I got to play cool. And then, you know, next time I'm just back, yo, cop man, he talked about you, leaving him on scene on the podcast, bro. You're going to have to hit him up and get on the pod.

Make him feel better. He's living a different life right now. You're going to have to make him feel bad for that one. He can't leave. He can't leave my dog will on scene. Yeah, yeah, I appreciate that, man. Dude, one story I want to talk about. It happened over, it happened in the off season.

I think it's hilarious because I completely already, I saw what was going to come. And that's you doing the jersey signings. Okay. So tell the story because obviously I'll pop on, I'll see stuff on the jersey signing. But I'm not following. You know, I'm not seeing every step of the way. Exactly.

It seemed like somebody reached out to you. They wanted you to sign a jersey. You retweet it and say, hey, send it, send it to the Titans facility. I'll sign it for free. Right. How do I buy it? Explain that. So listen, it's funny.

So I can explain the story. And this is real truth. I just got finished getting a haircut, right? So I'm feeling good. I was listening to some music. It might have been some nipsy hustle. I don't know what it was. I was just feeling the good move.

Yeah. And a guy had tweeted me and he had said something about, you know, he was at a Titans game. this year and he said I had got ghost on him or something like that as far as like he trying to get a jersey side you know how guys be on the side but they judges I said I was just running through like I didn't pay them no mine or sometimes you're trying to prepare in your and that's what I'm thinking it's probably I'm just probably running in right before pregame getting ready for a game but then he said he had to settle for dean peas oh oh go don't hit my man

peas like that I thought that was kind of funny but I'm like okay damn you know then it's you know offseason it's a little dry right now nobody's really doing anything so I'm like you know But if it means that much to you, send a jersey to the facility, send it to the facility, and I'll sign it for you. Yeah, that's what you're thinking. But when you retweet him, you're like, send it in. You're like, this is a good move. Yeah, I'm thinking like, you know, personally, I'm like, I'm going to sign his jersey. Yeah.

And then, like, no less than, and this is why I'm still driving. I'm on the way to the house. I was probably only 15 minutes away from the barbershop. I'm still home. I mean, I'm still in the car. And, like, one minute later, another guy tweets me like, oh, shoot, KB signing jerseys. Like, and you think you could sign my jersey? So at the same time, still feeling good.

Hey, man, seeing a jersey in the facility, man, send it. So I think by the time I get home, I probably said it to, like, five people. And, uh... You sent the tweet to say, send your jersey into about five people at this point. Five people at this point. You're feeling, you're feeling. Yeah, I'm feeling good. I'm like, yeah, man, I'm doing something good.

Yeah. Like you said, maybe it's a little PR. But it was really, I was just having a good feeling. So I get to the building on Monday, and I had about... At first it was like. It was like six, seven jerseysys. So I'm like, okay, it's not that. bad.

You know, maybe, maybe everybody in the world might not see it. Well, you fucked yourself. You posted a picture of you doing it. That's really what killed me. Yeah. I posted a picture of I signed like three jerseys. Like, yeah, man, keep them coming. The dog.

It got up to like over 100 jerseys, bro, in like two weeks. To the point where I was like, I had to tweet it. Like, listen, I can't sign no more jerseys now. Like, we were just getting ready to report for the coaching sessions or whatever. I said, man, I can't sign them on jersey. It's got to be the last day to send a jersey in. So, bro, I was signed like, and then Jeb, you know, Jeb helped me out with everything. Yeah, Jeb is awesome.

He pretty much was helping me sign all the jerseys and get all these different. I had to go from UPS to FedEx to all these different spots. And I spent a little money, too, actually sending some jerseys back. Yeah. So I was trying to get the Titans to, you know, help me out on the posts, but they wasn't working with me at all. So they weren't helping you send those jerseys? They helped me send it, but they didn't pay for it. Yeah.

You know what I said? They paid for a couple. I ain't like, they paid for, like, the first few. But then after it got crazy, they was like, no, you're going to have to. So what went through your mind that, like, say, hey, I can't continue doing this. Was it a conversation with somebody? Are you sitting back? Or, like, somebody said, you yourself should probably just stop doing this because you're pretty much diluting.

Yeah. And then I mean, I first, first my wife says something about it. She was like, you know, you might get a little stress, but they might just keep sending them, keep sending them. And then my agent called me. My agent was like, hey, man, you're diluting your market now. Right, right. You can say you're diluting your market. You know, you're going to have appearances.

You can't just be signing everybody's jersey for free. I was like, man, I thought I was doing something good. He said you could do something good, but at the same time, like, you got to think about it. You got to put a stop to this. So I was like, man, I got to stop it. It was good for the time being. But it was actually a couple of jerks that's still in the facility that people sent with no return address, no nothing. So I'm just waiting for those guys to DM me or something like that to be like, hey, man, I still got my jersey.

People are going to hear this podcast and probably just DMU randomly saying, hey, man, how about that jersey that's coming in? Yeah. And then also, like, just to reiterate. that bus is gone. Please do not send them a jersey facility. Because I've got a couple stragglers.

Yeah. And I still begin people tweeting me like, hey man, I know it's, and that's the funny thing. They would say like, hey, man, I know you would sign a jersey

a few weeks back or a few months back, but hey, can you sign my jersey? Like, bro, it's over with, man. Yeah, man. I love my fans, but at the same time is like...

Matt, weren't you saying some people got pissed off? Or, wouldn't there people pissed off when you say you shut it down and I sent my jersey? Yeah, wait. I sent my jersey, and you better sign that thing now.

I don't know why he's got to be some white redneck dude, but that's just sometimes when I read these things, that's like what I envision. That's the voice you put. No, I mean, it was a couple people that was upset, man. They just thought that I don't know. They just thought I was going to do it forever.

Like I said, I was trying to do something nice, but, man, listen, I learned my lesson, though. I tell you that. I probably want to do that again. Yeah, Matt, didn't you say there was a tweet? Yeah, there was a couple tweets like right after that. They were like, come on, man,

why can't you sign my jersey? And you were having to explain yourself. And then the funniest thing was. Hey, Kevin B. Hey, Kevin B. and my boy. My boys want it. Right after it was over,

Jarrell Casey made the same exact mistake. I don't know what he was thinking, but he was like, yeah, I'll do it too. And then he's like, like, two days ago, he's like, all right, never mind. I'm not doing this. And that was a funny thing. Like, even some people,

they thought they were slick. So they sent, they sent their jersey. They sent like two other, they sent the Derek Henry jersey. It sent the Cory Davis jersey. Oh, they sent multiple jerseys with yours. Or I sent multiple jerseys.

Expecting you to get them signed. With no return, nothing. They might have sent the address, but no return. I can see if you send a return package and you like a prepaid package I'd return. I thought that was pretty cool

but you had so many people had just like it just didn't care but it was going to make me pay for everything it's like it's all I don't even think during Henry signed that jersey either that's the funny. There's a way to go about it for sure

like if you sign something into a player right for the future for the fans out there in the future if you sign if you want something signed by a player I would recommend writing a thoughtful letter with it explaining it because when I'll open up

when I'll open up the fan mail and stuff and you read like why they want it or like when a somebody from the brassica wants something like they're reaching out to you and they're not even necessarily associated with the titans like somebody from the redskins still trying to like hunt down a signature or the huskers are like you I mean you know just when or when kids write something you can tell like they're in a younger elementary grade with their hand with their cute little handwriting right right and you like want to send something back they send like uh a dress to send it back and they send you a package to send it back so with the stamps on it so you don't have to go out of your way.

Like, yeah, obviously we would love to go out of our way to, you know, go to the nearest mailbox FedEx and write the stuff and stamp it ourselves. But it makes it, you don't even think about it sometimes. You're just like, oh, I'll do this for sure. It's set up for me. It's nothing. It's nothing. And you'll sign it and, you know, give it to Jeb and they take care of it.

Yeah, and that's the main thing. When you got the return package, you just give it right to Jet, hey, man, send this off. And it's easy. But like I said, I'd had to go in FedEx. I had to go to the post office a couple of times. It was like, it got too much, man. That's hilarious. It was cool, though.

I love my fans, though. I ain't going to not. They got some cool fans. Dude, Nashville, they have a fun fan base. No, they do. You're really good with your fans on Twitter, too. It's really noticeable how engaging you are. Oh, I'm glad you brought that up.

It made me thinking something. Okay. What is your thoughts? Not your thoughts. Like, what is your process behind, the way you handle your Twitter because you are you're very engaging with your fans you're also very engaging with um posting football stuff right like what is your what is like how do you like to use your social media like what goes on who helps you does anybody help you like do you you know

I like following your workout stuff right right right right we'll get in a conversation by your workout coach in a little bit but uh what's your kind of process about going about social media i don't have anybody working my social media I actually thought about doing that before like having somebody post my stuff because a lot of times I even think about it like with my Twitter or my Instagram and stuff like that sometimes I feel like you know you should post daily you should always keep content on there sometimes I get lazy sometimes where I don't post nothing for a couple of days or stuff like that but uh I don't know I just a lot especially with my Twitter stuff one thing that I used to do all the time I used to tweet all the time and I like I kind

of chilled on a little bit because I remember it's funny when I always be in college I used to tweet I used to tweet reckless stuff you know you just sitting in class you might tweet a rap lyric or something like that You know what's so funny. When I played the Patriots, we played the Patriots. This was my second year in the lead, the year I went to the Pro Bowl. And everybody knows the Tom Brady course I made. And if you don't know, I made a comment during the week. And it was funny.

I wasn't even thinking about it. And as soon as I said it, I knew, it's like, oh, man, it's about to go viral. So the guys that asked me was like, you know, how do you feel about, you know, going against Tom Brady and going against, you know, New England Patriots? You know, it's a big game. I was like, you know, it's just enough. I was trying to. trying to downplay.

You know, it's another guy. I'm going to treat every game the same way. I'm going to treat every quarterback as if, like, I'm trying to make a play. I'm trying to pick Tom Brady. I'm trying to treat Tom Brady like Blake Bortles. You know what I'm saying? And it was like, and as soon as I said it,

you can see just everybody in the media behind it. The camera's just like, oh, I was light up. I was like, damn. We got a headline boys. I just compared Tom Brady to Blake Bortles. I mean, they had me on Fox Sports. They said they had me on first take. I mean, a couple of guys defending me,

but it was like, they was roasting me. So I had the entire. Patriots Mafia on my Twitter and Instagram for like a week straight before the game, killing me. And I have never been trod on Twitter and Instagram, but that was my first time I have an experience being trod. I'm saying I'm getting the most disrespectful stuff you've ever seen. He's a faggot.

You're a pussy. Oh, bro. Listen, bro. The most disrespectful things you can think of, like, F his mom and all type of crazy stuff. And so after we lost, so we got dominated, we ended up losing the game, I get on the bus to you know, you get on the bus at the end of the game. Did you, did you guys win or lose?

No, we lost. We lost by, like, it was like, was it, 38, 14? Oh, this is the playoff game. It's the playoff game. We lost in the playoffs. And I get on my, I get on my Twitter, and I'm just scrolling. And look, I'm seeing guys are pulling up. I don't know how they got to it, but it was pulling up tweets and retweeting some stuff.

I had tweeted back in, like, 2012, like, freshman year in college, like, I'm tweeting the dumbest stuff ever, like, fuck bitches get money like yeah like stupid stuff like and I'm sitting here like oh let me delete that let me delete that like bro I was tweeting some dumb stuff back then so we were talking about that last

podcast one of our recent podcast because who knows where this one who knows where all our podcast lineup is right but uh people getting condemned like the draft that happened and guys are getting condemned for what they were doing in high school

our draft people who was our first draft pick was it Simmons yes Simmons something he did in high school. Right, right, right. And guys just get destroyed for stuff that happens, like, way back in the day. And I'm sitting there thinking to myself, like, you know, thank God, social media wasn't

that huge back. Exactly. There really wasn't social media. When I was in high school, it was Myspace in the beginning of Facebook. Facebook seemed like more of the adult college thing. Yeah. MySpace was more like the high school thing. Yeah, I had Facebook when I, uh, it's like Facebook.

And I think my senior, that's when Twitter started, like, really started taking off a little bit. Right. Yeah. And thank God. like I didn't have that stuff because dude our thoughts are so crazy when we're in high school crazy like you're walking you're walking in school and you're ready to start explaining yourself for why you move somebody in your top eight on my space and I got you know my space used to be jumping yeah yeah hey my two I had the uh uh I had a little boozy as my song my band one song on my space

sounds like you I'm not even going to lie that sounds like will dude guys always all my wife friends always heckled me for that kind of stuff but I didn't give a shit look at what we are now exactly where we all now Now wolves. Look what we had now. But no, we were talking about all the social media stuff. I actually have a funny story about lyrics. Like when you're tweeting lyrics.

Right, right, right. So when we were in Nebraska, when Twitter was starting to come up, make its rise. Our head coach, Bo Polini, he didn't want us to use Twitter at all. Right. And I was going to be a senior, so I was one of the captains, one of the leaders. I kind of, I was like, you know, he always had me in his office talking about just anything that went on. He wanted to talk about why we shouldn't have Twitter. You know, I was, me and a few others, we were the voice of why we should.

Like, you know, why it's okay and it'll work and like, yeah, I get it. But you don't want to strip guys. You want to allow guys to be themselves at the same time. Within a week, bro, we had a, Beau calls me. It's like early in the morning, too. Like, you know, I'm waking up. He calls me. He's like, comp.

He's like, what the fuck am I supposed to do with this one? And he reads, he's like, come to my office. And I'm like, oh, God. I'm like, Jesus. I, you know, go into his office, I sit down. He's like, let me read you something. He reads me. He's like, this is on Twitter.

He says, Lamborghini Mercy, your chick, she's so thirsty. I'm in that two-seat Lambo, and your girl, she's trying to jerk me. Right, right. He reads it and like that voice, his little way, you know, he's like adult voice of not knowing the rap lyrics. Not knowing exactly what you told me. And I just put my head down, and he's like, what the fuck do you want me to do with this? Right.

And I'm like, it's a rap, you know, it's a rap lyric, it's this. And he's like, I don't give off what it is. Right, right. He's like, this is the shit we can't have out there because the media is that, the other. But dude, it's crazy what, how you can get condemned for that stuff. And it's funny. It is funny. Our teammate's name was Toby's, Toby Okiemi.

And his username was Big Topes 48 after practice. Who is Big Topes 48? He knew who it was. He reads it out loud. And you know, we're all sitting in the back like, oh, shit. Like, you know, we're going to wrap. Right, right, right. He's like, man, I'll ship your ass back to wherever Toby came from.

But he was, like, known for saying that kind of shit. And it's crazy, though, because I feel like that's really how Twitter used to be, like, when it first started, like, guys just, you know, just tweeting rap lyrics. I used to be, like, they're just, like, posting on my status just be rap lyrics and stuff like that. But even now, like you said, I don't, I try to keep everything. I wouldn't say political, but, you know, I always think about it now. So, you don't see so many bad cases of people tweeting stuff that they're not know damn what they're not supposed to be tweeting. So I kind of actually think about what I tweet before I tweet. So I kind of just keep everything organic.

Keep it about football. If it's football, family life, engaged with my fans and stuff like that. I kind of just use it almost as like a business tool for real. Yeah, for sure. Because you got to think of it. I mean, you do have to think about it. Like me, over the years that I've had Twitter, I've tried to build like this humor mix with serious and this and that

to where when I post something that kind of pushes the envelope of, you know, if something should be said on Twitter or not. Fortunately, you kind of build up people to help you out if somebody new comes and talks about something bad you tweeted and people like they'll know them come from a humorous place of humor or jokes but i ain't gonna lie you have you're like the goat of like instagram captions bro i'll be reading your captions bro we got compliments for days boys you hearing this is it's listen listen follow will content on instagram it just if you don't do anything just scroll down and read his

captions bro his captions is hilarious i'm not even going to lie i'd be done i have fun with them i have on with them. Do you think you're slept on as a safety? And this isn't a football question. This honestly comes from me observing your social media at times. And you, not necessarily defending yourself, sometimes yes. But you will post, you will post to kind of remind people to let them know like, yo, I am in these conversations. And this is from me, this is from me observing. This isn't a no football analyst interview question. But do you feel like sometimes when you are going about your business on social media like you know i got to remind these dudes sometimes that because you're we're in a market that it's the tennessee titans exactly do you feel that way

no honestly it's is at a point right now where it's almost like i really stopped caring especially this far into my career because it's like i understand the media you know we're in a small market things like that um but to be real i do feel like i'm slept on by national media you know you kind of see, you know, these media outlets be talking about all these different guys. And most of these guys are good players. Don't get me wrong. Like, you got a lot of good safety. He's a lot of good players in the league. But it's like sometimes you do be like, man, I made a lot of plays in this league. You know what I'm saying? Like I've led the NFL and interceptions as I've been in the league. So. That all pro year? How many do you have? Nine?

I had eight. Eight? I had the league, right? Led the league. I tied with Dary Slate, but it was one of those where I had three in one game. I had two, I had five picks and two games. So it's like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. So, you know, but at the same time, it's kind of like where I'm at a point where I'm getting so older, it's like, man, I can care less. I mean, I understand that, like you said, being in Tennessee, we're not going to get talked about like that. Usually, the only time I really talking about the Italians is if they're bringing up Marcus. They're talking about Marcus and the quarterback and all this offense of Derek Henry. And it's like, I just roll with the punches.

It is what it is. And I just kind of look at it like, you know, I'm going to get my respect eventually. You know what I'm saying? But I feel like it's not going to happen. if I just keep trying to looking thirsty for it. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to be looking thirsty. Oh, man, look at me, look at me, look at me.

Like, I can care less at this point. National media outlets. People pick their favorites anyway. You know what I'm saying? They see a guy they probably follow all the way from college, coming from a big school, and they want to see those guys be successful and do good. So, I mean, I let them just pick their favorites,

and I just do my thing, you know, at this point. Yeah, I always get curious. Just because, you know, I follow who everybody, I follow. Right. And sometimes from an athlete's perspective, I'll sit and kind of think about their tweets on what angle they might come from because I know places I've been before on why I tweet and do things.

And if I act out sometimes and when I rethink about stuff, if I'm like wanting to show myself in a way, you know what I mean. Right. I just get curious. I always get curious about that stuff. You were talking about, you want to, did you want to say something else? No, I was going to say. I will say that the Nashville media, like Tennessee, they think I'm the best safety in the

league. Well, it's good. I mean, sometimes you just need your PR to do the work for you. Exactly. The guys in the media market do that stuff for you. And that's what I feel good. I feel good that the local media, the people in this area, they support me 100%. They think I'm the best. So if they think I'm the best and, you know, when my coaches think, they think I'm one of the greatest or the best or whatever. You know, I'm cool with that. You know, I accept that and I'll just take the national media for what it is, what it is. Yeah. Because at the end of the day, like, you'll continue stacking years and years and then now build your, you know, resume of everything. because sometimes it is harder when you're a younger player and not being in a national market.

Exactly, and that's it is what it is. You're a fucking wolf, bro. You're a fucking wolf. One of the boys. You are. You're one of the boys. That's more important than anything. Being one of the boys?

One of the boys is more important, man, trying to be the best safety in the league, man. Because that's going to happen. But being one of the boys is like a privilege, man. It's like one of those. It's not a lot of them out there. Yeah. It's not a lot out there.

For sure. And there's, yeah, there's that feeling, of driving home or like coming in a locker room and just that camaraderie with the fellas that you know like you're part of, you know, I say the pack, like you're part of the pack. Like you're part of the boys, man. I mean, anybody can tell you, when you're done playing, that's probably going to be the most, that's going to be the thing you remember most, the camaraderie with the boys, those locker room conversations, sitting in breakfast, stuff like that.

That's the most important thing. You're not going to be thinking about, I mean, depending on what kind of player, you don't even think about your stats and stuff like that, but you're going to be thinking about, damn, let me call him a boy, you know what I'm saying, see how he's doing because, I mean, And you can be sitting there, you can be sitting there and spending hours talking about different, different stuff. You may talk about one play here, one play there, but you can tell, hey, remember we was joking about this? Bro, yes. Or something like that.

Yeah, hey, going off that sauna talk, sorry. P.P. was asked, P.P. was complimenting as saying, like, we did well together. And I told him to hold off on that comment. So we could talk about the sauna. You brought the sauna. The camaraderie part comes from being in the damn sauna all the time. People don't know that. People do not know these conversations.

that happened in the cold tub. Some of the realest conversations happened in the sauna. Because the reason why it's so damn hot that you have to keep talking to the guy next to you to like, really you should be like, man, it's so hot, but like, man, let's keep talking about this. And by the time, you know, you've been there 15, 20 minutes, like, oh, man. You might, you might, you might plan on being there 15 minutes. They ain't there for 20 because I had a deep conversation. Yeah, and then by the time you walk out, you're hallucinating because you've been in there way too long.

About to fall out. Yeah, but bro, the sauna gets deep, man. No, it does. That's what the conversations happen. It's crazy. I would think, like, if it's blessing y'all got this bus, and if it wasn't the bus, Sana Talk Podcasts, like, you think that would be possible to have a podcast and a sauna?

Just the boys in the Sona with Tals on just a house? It may be too long. You know, you're doing the podcast, too long. You're in the Sondi, you might pass out and put it into the podcast. You're passed out. But that's just a dope idea. You know, just maybe Infrared Sana. Sona talk.

Are you well-versed in Sona? Is like, do you understand the benefits of the sauna? Like, do you get what you do? Yeah, I mean, for sure. I mean, I feel like it helps me with my recovery, honestly. I feel like it helps my skin glow, you know? Oh, there you go. Helps my skin glow.

Black don't crack, baby. You know, I had a smoothen that when I said that, too. But, uh, no, that's a lot of things. Honestly, it helped me sleep better, too. Have you read, have you read on the sauna stuff? I've, you know, I've scrolled on Google and leave all type of different sources. Because a lot of those guys, I'll be doing the sauna, the cult, uh, I'll be doing all that stuff. But like me, I like to read and research things.

things. Right. I wasn't a sauna guy until like the past couple of years. I'm mainly, I would prefer an infrared sauna over a dry sauna. See, that's what I, that's what I need to get on. I need to get in the infrared. I haven't been an infrared sauna yet. Yeah. You get benefits from a cellular level. Whereas in a dry sauna, you crank it up to 180, 190 guys are always on water and ice on it to get as hot as shit in there. But you go from surface, you go from outside in on a dry sauna. From an infrared sauna, it sits around 140 and you go inside out so you get the benefits of a cellular level, like recovery. the, you know, the heat proteins that get released during a sauna session.

You're probably in there. You're in there longer on an infrared sauna, but you get way more benefit being in an infrared sauna. You should look into it. No, most definitely. Taylor actually just bought a big-ass one. I have one by a left in D.C. just because I didn't want to feel like moving that big thing around.

It would be way too much. Yeah, bro. An infrared sauna, I'm surprised, like, the facilities, like, all teams in the league don't. Eventually everybody's going to have an infrared sauna. So are you, what about, Steam Room versus Sona? Which one? There's benefits. There's benefits of both.

But short answer, I think sauna. I think a dry sauna over steam because, like, a steam, I might enjoy more because you feel like you're sweating more, but that's because it's wet in there. Yeah, it's a bunch of steam in there. But at dry sauna, like, the benefits you get out of a sauna is recovery, obviously, we've talked about it. Right. The, that recovery benefit with your muscles and being after a hard work day, yeah. All that fun stuff. Exactly.

But you also get benefits from a growth hormone release level. Like if you're in there for a certain period of time, your growth at a certain, like, degree. So like, say, 170, I think is the degree. If you're in there for, say, 15 minutes, I want to say your growth hormone and testosterone being released is times 16fold. If you're in there for 30 minutes, it's time like, you know, X amount more. You know what I mean? That's crazy. And you get those benefits combined.

with the recovery factor that guys feel they feel looser, the elasticity in their muscles and everything like that. Yes, they do feel that way but you also get that growth hormone release. You get more of a conditioning, you get more of an endurance factor. The way we get in right after practice and running

around, like right after workout, if you can get to a sauna with your heart rate up around 1, 2130 and above, right, right after working out, you get benefits of like more conditioned, like more endurance, you get strength benefits because of the release the chemical release it's happening right after a workout. Exactly.

I'm not saying like after you get drunk one night and how people will go get in the sauna or like said they come in on an off day and getting the sauna. You don't get that stuff then. It's right after a workout where your heart rate's elevated. And I can try and explain it more. I could bring my phone out and try to do more, but that's surface level. So do you think saunas help you lose weight though? I mean it can help you lose water weight.

Not like. Because I think that's like a myth. I think guys. Yeah, there's not like I don't believe you just lose weight. Like my brother like in the. wrestling culture. Right. Guys will get in sweat suits, like plastic, wrapped.

They're like wrapped in plastic, basically, sauna suits. And they'll get in the sauna so that way they can lose all the water. Yeah, dehydrate and lose all the water weight they can. Like, that's not beneficial. Not at all. That's not going to help you out. Like the big boys who get in there, like, yeah, I got to lose weight. His sauna every day.

Yeah, and they're going to lose pounds. Like, they're losing water weight and they're just putting it back on. Like, you know, I just go out and eat. Like, I don't literally gotten a sauna one time. with a bottle water and drunk the whole water I was in there. Got the sign and was literally the same exact weight. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you're just, you're literally...

Putting the water right back in. Yeah, you're just losing water weight. Like, you're going to dehydrate just to hydrate again because that's like you don't want to dehydrate while you're in there. Exactly. Have you guys done cryo at all? I've done cryo. Yeah.

I heard you lose weight with cryo. I heard you bring like 600 calories in like three minutes. For real? I don't even know. I don't know about that. Your body's trying to heat itself back up. That's one of the craziest things, like, about my recovery. And there's a lot of people.

people that I mean a lot of people like it but I hate cold tubs I can't cold tub do you cry oh I cry oh because it's shorter because you know you cold tub for like 10 minutes or whatever eight minutes I have a long you cold tub but you can cry out for like three minutes right so well I mean if you got to do I can deal with that yeah I mean at least you're doing you're doing something because there is a lot of benefit from cooling yourself down and heating yourself back up again exactly like just that balance and again like I could I'm a big Ben Greenfield guy like Ben Greenfield if you ever go to a site or listen to his podcast. He's a weird dude.

He's out there. Right. But he talks all things, performance, recovery. Like, he's like, he puts his body through everything. Every extreme you can think of, like, those mud runners, those triathlon stuff, those Ironman things. Yeah. He's body-building before. He's done carnivore diet.

He's done vegan. He does everything. He releases in the world or America. I know America for sure. But I get a lot of my information from him. So anything I'm sitting here trying to explain, I might butcher some. but he's the guy I listen to. So if you ever want to check,

like you know, comp said some good stuff about that. Let me just go look into it. It's been Greenfield. Like I'm giving him a plug right now, but that's where his podcast is where I get a lot of my information, a lot of the recovery systems I do. Like I'll go straight from practice and I'll go 15 minutes dry sauna,

immediately get in the cold tub, like right from the heat, go cold tub. And I'll try to go. I'll try to. Most of the times I don't. I usually go up to my sermon, but I'll try to go above my shoulders in the cold tub. Above your shoulders? Yeah, from three to five minutes, just three to five minutes.

And right when I'm getting out, I'll dunk under the water and hold my breath for a few seconds and come back up and then immediately go to the steam room for 15 minutes. And then I'll end in a cold shower. So it'll be like 15, 5, 15, 5, like contrasting. Right, right, right. But, dude, your body feels magical after that. I believe it.

But I heard it's like a trick that if you're trying to get in the cold, you know, guys hate just going straight into the cold. I heard if you just dunk your whole body in there, it's like I don't know if it shocks your body or something like that you definitely get a you definitely it definitely shocks your body like when I sometimes I'll do it like when you're in the thick of the season like in the back end of the season I'll try to just dunk my body in there in the morning so I can be awake for meetings and all that fun stuff because there's like an energy dump too I think you get from that stuff yeah I heard but talk about we're into recovery so now I'm sitting there my mind's going all over the place right I want to know about more recovery stuff that you probably do are things away from the facility because one thing that's one thing that you're going to be thing that I try and get educated on that. I learned a lot from like D. Morg, Ben Greenfield, a lot of guys that I've been in rooms with. So from a safety perspective,

I've gotten to play with Dante Wittner, Dante Hittner, Dante Hittner. Beast. DeShon Goldston. Beast. They play with each other in San Fran. Ryan Clark. Swagoo. Swagoo.

DJ Swanger. Swagoo. We're always how he goes about his business sometimes. He's definitely smarter than. He's definitely a smart cat. He's made a lot of plays. For sure, he makes plays. And the other guys I named,

like I had them on their back end of their career, so it's not like they were in their prime, so to speak. Right. But the benefit of having them on their back in career is the way they go about all of their processes that I was able to learn from and get information from. Like, the guys are, we'll get into film here in a little bit too. But one thing that they really put me on,

especially like Ryan Clark, D. Gold. I wasn't with Hittner that long, but D. Gold and Ryan Clark was taking care of your body. And outside of being in a cold tub, doing all those simple basic things where people are always like ice, do this, that the other. Everybody kind of does that. Are there things that you do outside and away from the field

that, you know, in your recovery process? I see you and Logan do like Pilates or yoga. Yeah, we do that a lot, especially like during the spring. That's something that I just tried out. I started last year and I love it. And I think like, especially like during the year, The main thing I think that you can do with your body as far as helping eyes. Number one, getting sleep.

Get the bed early. Get yourself in the bed. Especially if you've got meetings at 7, 7, 15. I try to be in the bed like 8, 39. So I can get some good sleep. You got to get some good sleep. But also, I just think your diet, man. I think when I was in college, so coming from Middle Tennessee State,

small school didn't teach us nothing about diet. Yeah, for sure. Would you guys get like a little food card? Yeah, we got a food court. Man, listen, bruh. The food, the food spots that we had on campus were so unhealthy. Yeah. Like, no, I believe that.

The number one spot was Popeyes. Like, I was eating Popeyes all the time. They had a steak and shake. It's, like, Subway, but Subway is, it's pretty healthy, but, you know, we can go, we can do better than that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But, like, we got a bunch. Then you, you go to the cafes or whatever, or the cafeterias, and they just got, like, the food just wasn't good, man. It just wasn't healthy for you.

And, you know, they're expecting you just to play a whole season, just eating this, even, BS pretty much the whole time. Yeah. And I think when I got to lead, that's something that I kind of learned from either guys, like you said, like Derek Morgan, Jarel Casey, and Will, you know, those guys are vegan. I haven't went to vegan route yet. Yeah. I would say yet because I don't know.

I have thought about it a little bit. You say yet like you might be doing it? You might be going that route? I don't thought about it. I don't try a couple of vegan meals. And it actually pretty good, but that's the main thing, trying to find good vegan food. Because I think sometimes, you know, some vegan food, they may be putting a too much extra flavor and stuff.

You putting, I don't think all it, I think some vegan food. food can actually not be as healthy as like straight up vegan food. Right, like they lead you to believe because they got to doctor it up so much. Yeah, they doctor it up to make it taste like a real cheese, a beef cheeseburger, but they're putting a whole bunch of other stuff in there. But, you know, I think they're just having a good diet. I try not to eat a lot of beef during the season because I just think it takes a long time to digest the red meat, especially for me.

I want to be able to run fast and move all over the place. But I think those are the main thing, getting sleep and just trying to maintain a real good diet so my weight isn't just fluctual. waiting all over the place. Those are like the two best ingredients of like success for recovery and everything else. Like sleep is the most untapped drug. People always want like the secret of everything.

And that's the main thing. I think people's always trying to find and I think, you know, as times get on, you know, a lot of different things come out that, you know, this technique or this technique and all this stuff. I'm like, listen, bro, like sleep in a good diet. Foundationally. That's foundation right there. It's all the stuff that you can add on as, you know,

as benefits and things like that. But if you're getting good sleep, having a good diet, the rest of that stuff will take care of yourself, and you can add on some stuff after that. Yeah. Do you ask a lot of questions to the active nutritionist at the Titans facility? I forget. Man, I hate that I forget her name.

She's a stud-down. Like, it helps that somebody is on site kind of helping direct guys, especially if they don't have an idea sometimes. Like, Jayon last year, he'd want to take his stuff a lot more seriously. Exactly. He's kind of walking. He's always talking to her to this day. And it's crazy because I think that the main thing I probably

get from her and it's funny because she's been there since I think in my rookie year and my rookie year. I was to say I was overweight, but I was like I was always on that like teetering. You know what I'm saying? Right or teetering of like where I might be one pound over or something like that. And she always comes to me and just telling about different stuff. I need to put on my plate, you know, more color and stuff like that. And I think another thing that I do, I take vitamins. But I don't take a lot of, I take vitamin D and I take fish oil.

I take that all the time. That's those are two of the best ones. I take vitamin D and fish oil. And I just, I think vitamin D is probably one most. important things. I don't know it's a lot of research out there. I think people can look at it, but vitamin D is crucial. And I also drink amino acids, the BCAs. I drink a lot of those. It's like, before, like, honestly, every morning when I get the facility, I do like a little stress routine. I get my vitamin D. I get my fish oil. I get like a little, I take a little

emergency, the little emergency vitamin C. I take those and I put it like my little orange juice, a little small thing of orange juice. But also in my little defiance fuel, I put a whole scoop of BCAs and I drink that right before the workout, I drink it all day, and I drink those all the time. And I think that just helps my recovery a ton. I'm actually about to start drinking them before I go to sleep at night, because I heard that's actually one of the best times I actually drink it before you go to sleep. You're talking about amino acids?

Yeah, amino acids before you go to sleep. You should, like, when you leave here, you should look into EAAs too. You got BCA's and EAAs, which is BCA's branched chain amino acids, and then you got EAA's essential amino acids. Essential amino acids has the three BCA's in it. Teach me some. Right. And there's seven more amino acids in the system in, you know, in the ingredients.

Right. To get because there's times to take BCAs and there's also huge benefits of EEAs. People, people are not, I don't want to say becoming more aware, like it's a fat thing because it's not a fat thing. Right. But like there's essential amino acids and that's the time when you're sleeping and going to bed where you want to get 20, like 20 to 30 grams is something I do before I go to bed to get your essential amino acid. profile breakdown in your body because BCAs are really good for post workout and everything like that like.

You know, lucine is like the best one of the three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But look into EAAs. Like I don't want to sit here and try to explain everything because I don't want to stumble over my words or put my foot my mouth. Right.

But look at that and then also vitamin K taking that with vitamin D because vitamin K helps break down the vitamin D in your system. I might have to. So check that out. Check that out. Because you're like, you're on, like, I'm not saying you're on track like you need to know.

But, yeah. Yeah, you're very well versed in that stuff. I try to pay attention to it, man. Yeah, which is good. And a lot of stuff, like I'm learning on the run. Like, I'm learning on the run. I'm seeing what different guys are taking in. You know, you kind of ask them.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Sometimes, you know, you just got to add that in. And that's how you, that's how a lot of the learning goes is you just ask your teammates or your buddies. Like, you know, what are you doing here? Why are you doing that? Like, just being curious. Yeah. You know what I mean?

But you guys might be able to speak to this a little bit better than I can. But I've heard that for BCAAs to. absorb into your system, you have to eat something. Oh, potentially. Honestly, I would like to, I would like to be on Google right now, Googling this stuff. Right, right, right. I don't put my foot in my mouth. There's, I know there's benefits to both, and there is a reason that EAAs are better

in BCAAs. It's just hard for me to fully break it down. Yeah, because that, you know, there's a lot of drinks out right now. Like, there's a drink called NACO. There's a drink called bang, different things like that that have, like, a, you know, a lot of caffeine, like a pre-workout kind of drink that. you know people or even pre-work I make my skin itch

yeah that's that that's that beta alanine but that's what I've heard though is that if you don't have something you know some type of food that goes along with it no matter what it is that the BCAAs actually don't absorb they just kind of go in your gut and just kind of that could be true I really could be true

because I ain't going on lot I've worked out a couple times with my trainer Jason Spray who I trained during the spring and stuff like that I didn't I mean I might have I ate anything but in the morning before the workout. And I drank the BCAAs and literally I feel it all on my gut. And it's like I don't threw it one time before. And I may have put too much of a scoop in there.

I may have like doubled up a scoop. Trying to get ready for that workout, baby. Trying to get ready for that workout, bro. And I have threw up because of that. Like, and I was like, and I knew it. I like, bro, I drunk too many BCAs, bro. It was too much. Yeah, I'm a big essential amino ass.

I'll text this stuff to you too. Yeah, I need to find out about that. Obviously, like, I'm not like super qualified to try and talk about all the education. Right. I'm like one of those guys who will read something and know why I need to make that switch. Exactly. I was a BCAA guy before an EAA guy.

Right, right, right. And then probably Ben Greenfield podcast put me on EAAs a little more with a little more insight to where it's like, okay, these are the times I need to be doing it because when I got, so like every offseason I'll go and get blood work done to know what food allergies I might have or anything like that. And, you know, I saw where I got educated on dairy not breaking down as well in my system or like any of the proteins. like weigh and all that stuff because it can sit a little heavier.

Right. So after workouts, amino acids like we're talking about, they absorb a lot quicker in your system than like protein does or weight does. And my guy, my doc who I consult with, he's out of Ohio, Eric Serrano, he's a stud. He's like, oh, he talks in his Puerto Rican voice, Will. I don't want you taking any more protein shake. You take essential amino acids and a handful of cashews, a handful of cashew nuts.

Like just no more protein shakes for you, do essential. Amino acids. Right. You'll digest a lot better and it absorbs quicker in your body. And when you go to bed, yeah, you're correct on, you know, drinking that stuff before you go to bed. But I'll send you that stuff, man. No, that's what I need to do as well.

I need to get this blood work done. I feel like the past two off seasons, I'm supposed to go see a doctor to get some blood work done. And every time is like the date, I'm out of town or stuff. Right. And I can't get with a dog. But if I don't get it, I'm probably going to try to set it up. Maybe not this week, but next week. Yeah.

Because, yeah, structure that stuff. I didn't go do that. Because, you know, I'm going to try to do that. Because, you know. Because there's some stuff I feel like I eat, and I feel like it just doesn't digest well. Yeah, you just learn about yourself, man. And, you know, again, I'm 29, so I've played to where I've gotten to listen to all these vets.

It's nothing where you just come out of college and learn stuff. Like, every year I feel like you pick up on something else different. Exactly. You're like, damn, I wish I'd have been doing that when I was young. For real. That's why you got all the moleheads always say, man, if all was yours or if I was young, this, that and the other. As everybody, but every vet. When you're young, all you know is grind.

Grind. think you just going to have them legs forever. He's going to run fast and jump high. And then, you know, start getting up in the years. We get the miles and get them tread on the wheels now. Yeah. Talk about Coach Spray for a minute because I know he's big in your offseason program. I follow him on Twitter.

He seems to be kind of in that social media world to where he's posting videos. He posts you and Logan training a lot. Exactly. I know Logan trained there. You guys both trained there last offseason. Yeah, we did. You can talk more about him. But talk about him for a second and why you choose him and why you train

there. Now, Jason's my guy. So Jason was actually the head strength coach at Middle Tennessee when I was there. So I had him for four years. So my red shirt year, he wasn't a head coach. He was just an assistant. So I pretty much had him my whole time I was there. But he became the head strength coach after my red shirt year. So I had him for five years in college and four years going to lead. So nine years, we had a relationship. And he just knows my body well. He knows what I can do well. He knows the things that I need to work on. And the thing that I like about his training regimen, like a lot of things that we do, we do a lot of jumps. We do a lot of explosive work. It's not about going there and trying to lift the entire way. weight room. Now we're going to get our lips and we're going to get our squads. We're going to get our

cleans, our platform work. Everything that we're doing as far as bench press is always like single arm. It's like, you know, dumbbell bench press, a single-lane squat and did everything on that. So he's not putting too much stress on your back and things like that. I just think he's very smart. I mean, he has a lot of certifications that I don't even know, but I know it's a lot of them. I don't know all of them. I'd love to get him on the podcast. I guarantee he'll come on. Yeah. I'll definitely want to come on. I'm sure he'll listen to episode since you're on it. Nah, for sure.

He's a good guy. He actually helped run my camp that I had in May, early in May. Yeah. So, I mean, he's a dope guy. And I think just... Does stuff change every year? Like, the way you train in college to now is that different? Does that look different?

It is definitely different because he'll tell you in college, he killed us. Yeah, I mean, and you're more developmental in that stage, too. Man, he would be killing us. But one thing I will say that we still do to this day is that we do a lot of conditioning and that's one thing that I always respect and I love from him because I always been a type of guy when I come back for starting you know we don't start with easy media but when I come back for that first workout with the team I want to be like oh that guy's been grinding yeah he's conditioned he's not tired you see a lot of guys we we start that first little workout you're

not doing too much but some some guys about the past I heard you're like right they're hurting he's like bro what was you doing all four months you haven't been doing anything so I always want to be that guy to come back and be like okay that guy's been working he's a leader and that's kind of always want to do so we do a lot of conditioning throughout the spring and we're going to do some also this summer but i mean like i said he he knows my body knows what i need to work on he just understands that you know some stuff is just not like say he's not trying to kill you're not trying to make you lift the entire way right right yeah so i like that i like following him because we have a couple common follows with other strength coaches that we follow because again like i i kind of enjoy that

world too yeah and he's he's dm about me training out there with you guys yeah i need to get out there and come, but it's funny because I have the exact same situation at Vanderbilt. Okay. My strength coach who trains me now is James Dobson. He's the head strength coach for Vanderbilt, but his staff that he's got was my staff all five years in Nebraska. Yeah, well. That's probably a couple.

Yeah, his main guy, his main assistant, Rex Clark. Right. And now his other assistant is Matt Manninger. Shout out Matt Manninger. He was my teammate at Nebraska, same year and everything. Now he's working for Dobson. But Dobson, he was with me my five years at Nebraska. and Dobson obviously trained me there.

Dobson did my combine train. I wasn't in a combine guy. But he did my pro day training. And he does my, he's in Vanderbilt now, so it's kind of like a perfect world of being out here. That's dope. So that's why I've never made it over for when Jason does listen. I've never made it over because I kind of got the same situation.

You bring him on a podcast. He might convince you to come on and do a workout. Bro, I'm trying to get both those guys on, man. I know he'll be, he'll love coming because he likes, he has a social media following. He likes explaining workouts. He likes showing that side of him, which I enjoy. Exactly.

I think he's done a couple of podcasts or a couple of interviews with different people and stuff like that. So he just likes talking about, you know, the weight training world and strip condition and stuff like that. He's a dope guy to talk to him. Yeah. No, we'll have them all for sure. Well, I'm on for sure. What else we got, boys? Dude, we have a lot of people wanting to ask you questions on Twitter.

Has that shit been blown up? 45 people submitted questions and like 221 likes. Oh, that's dope. Let's get to the questions. I had a good one. It's kind of serious, but let me see. Let me find the name of the guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The question was, who was your biggest influence growing up? And I think his name was J.D. J.D. Oh, no, J.D. J.D. ask another great question. So Jeremy Elton asked, who's your biggest influence on you growing up? And then J.D. says, if you're stranded on an island. which three teammates would you bring in why?

I'm going to answer the first question. What was the first question? His biggest inspiration? My biggest inspiration. Love that. It's like, you know, I feel like I can always keep it and be like, you know, my mother, you know, because single parent home, she's, you know, seven kids. I always think about that.

Like raising seven kids had to be hell. I might have my first daughter and it's already stressing me out. Like I'm thinking about all different ways. I got to change the way I talk. I got to do this. I got to do that, got to do this. So I can imagine raising seven kids on her own, working as a waitress, making little to, I'm going to say no money.

If you make a little money, she's making little tips and stuff like that, but it's not always enough, you know what I'm saying? So that was always a big inspiration. One thing I also was blessed, but I had a lot of coaches, like high school coaches that was almost like disciplinarians, especially in the area that I grew up in Atlanta, Lathonia, Georgia. A lot of people need disciplinarians. Yeah, a lot of people that didn't have fathers and stuff like that.

So I think there was more like father figures to a lot of guys, and a lot of guys really listened to him and took heed to what they were saying. And they also put a vision in my head. I had my office coordinator. He played in the NFL. He was like a practice squad guy. But at the same time,

he was the first person I ever met that actually made it to that level. He's always telling you like, man, you can make it, you know what I'm saying? And just having that in my mind and think about that all the time, that was definitely inspirational. Well, when you're young, it doesn't like,

yeah, we are where we are now, so we can kind of not, not bad an eye to practice squad players. a fucking practice squad player. Right, right, right. But when you're young, you can be influencing. You got that logo on you? I just seen a pitcher with him in like a Panthers jersey in practice.

And that did it for me, you know what I'm saying? Just seeing somebody who actually played NFL was like, bro, he did it. You know what I'm saying? Like, he made it. He come from up the street. So, like, he can do it. You know, I can do it. You know what I'm saying?

And at the time, it's not, I'm not even thinking as far as NFL. I'm just thinking about going maybe like to a D1 school. You know what I'm saying? I mean, you also think about the lead. but it's like the first thing is like, man, I'm going to go D1. I'm going to go D1. I'm going to go to a big school and stuff like that. So he did it and it was like, man, I know I can do it. You know what I'm saying?

So, I mean, it was a lot of people that inspired me from even players that I watched. It was funny the first time, it was like my junior year because it's funny. So I started out playing a quarterback in high school. I was a quarterback. Yeah. I used to sling that thing. You know what I'm saying? Thought that thing, 70 yards left hand.

I used to sling it. But going into my junior year and my coaching, I started getting bigger. I started working out a lot more. I was running track and stuff and my coach was like, man. I think you might have to be on them hashers next year. You know what I'm saying?

He told me that I was going to try me at his safety in the spring. And the first thing I did, I went to YouTube and I typed damn Brian Dawkins, weapon X. Holy shit. Bro.

One of the greatest motivational videos of, like, bro. Bro, you're in what, high school watching this? I'm in college. Like, almost like you hear Brian Dawkins speak and you get so motivated. There's almost a goddamn tear in your eye.

Man, he was taught. I don't know. I think they might have beat the Falcons and the NFC championship. game was going to the Super Bowl, bro, like, just his words, bro, was like, and it just got me super hype just to play, see, I just wanted to smack somebody or something like that. So, I mean, he motivated me, trope-pile. It was a lot of different guys that just motivated me just watching sports and stuff like that. And, I mean, I had some good friends who all played ball, who always just

focused on the right thing. So I just say I'm blessed. I had a lot of good people that was around, a lot of influential people for sure. That is really, I love that answer, dude, because I'm sitting here thinking like, you know, your mom being a waitress, raising seven kids. And I don't know how big your town is. Probably not that big, right? I mean, it's pretty solid. But it's, where are you from? Yeah.

So I was born and raised in Philadelphia. Oh, in Philly. In Philly. No, so I was born and raised in Philadelphia. But in high school, my ninth grade year, going into high school, my parents split. So we had to moving down to Atlanta, Georgia. And that's kind of where it was like, now my mama, she's on her own with all these kids. Pretty much moved to Atlanta with, like, $200.

and was like at first we was we was staying one of her friends she had like a finished basement she had like three bedrooms seven kids and we would we just had to thug it out at first you know what I'm saying it got a little better we found a spot to live in but it was stugging it man like I can't even remember uh I think every year we was living in Atlanta we had to move like it was every year like it was not it was not stable but at all like yeah I'm sitting here and I'm listening I'm listening to this whole story and Philly and Atlanta like obviously I'm a white guy sitting here like Like, yeah, I don't care.

I'm going to ask him questions even if you're uncomfortable about it. But you're in more of a dominating, probably around a black community. Not for sure. And I'm sitting here wondering, like, you talk about environment. You talk about influences. And I think that shit is so important, man. Because I'm sitting here thinking, like, you know, was he ever like a little shit? Could he have gone off the wrong path?

Easy. You're like a, in my opinion, you're a very high character guy. You're like a very quality individual. And I'm like, man, how did he come from areas he was probably in or with seven kids and a working mom that a few hundred dollars? and you're moving all the time. Like, you can only imagine the influences you had to go the other way. Right. And honestly, I think a lot of it had to do was one,

is that when we moved to Atlanta, me and my brother, we kind of had to take part and help kind of, like, raise the kids a little bit. So I think that helped me mature a lot. Even though being a high school kid, you know, I want to go hang on my friends. Sometimes I got to stay home and clean up the house before my mom get home for work because she gets home for work and the house is dirty.

She's mad at us. Exactly. So it was like, that kind of helped me mature. But at the same time, like I said, I had a lot of good influence, a lot of good coaches that kind of kept my mind right. But I mean, my high school was like literally all, but I keep it real. Have you seen love and hip hop?

Like, have you heard of the show Love and Hip Hop, the Love and Hip, whatever. Like, that could have been my high school. But it was ridiculous, bro, like, from everything that you can see, think of a bad high school. He's like shaking his head. Brut happened at my high school from, like, fights every single day, gangs, all type of crazy stuff. The school was overcrowded. It was just crazy. But like I said, football was the thing that was kind of like my sanctuary that kept me away from that stuff.

You know what I'm saying? I had friends go this way, go that way, go this way, but I don't know, man. I think maybe it was just a vision, man. I feel like I had some coaches telling me that I can make it and do something with myself. So I kind of just try to stay focused. And also, knowing that the situation at the house

wasn't the best at all. So it was like, if I don't go to college and do some of myself, what I'm going to do? It's going to go back home? Yeah, that's deep, man. You know what I'm going to go home to? Because it's like you are who you surround yourself with. And if you're not, like if you know you have friends, right?

Like, we all know kind of some, some bum friends we had back in the day. And you said it, you said it too, like maybe I had a vision. And it's like sometimes you've got to stop being friends with people. Sometimes you're not going to stop, but you try to influence them.

Most definitely. Or you just understand that I'm on a different path than you. Exactly. People got to understand that you're all not going to end up in the same spot. Everybody's got their own journey they're going on, and it's going to divide at some point. Exactly. And if you're going to keep them around,

you've got to understand how far you can go with them. And when they have to understand, too. Yeah, they got to understand it too. Like even now, like, Atlanta is literally like three and a half hours away. So I can be a guy that can be shooting home every weekend on every break. But I always think about it. Like, man, I have something big that I really want to accomplish. So my guys at the career, they have to understand.

Like, bro, I can't be coming home every weekend going to the clubs, trying to turn up, buying bottles, stuff like that. It's not that serious right now. It's trying to flexing. I'm trying to flex up for the, you know what I'm saying. I'm married now too. So that gives me even a lot more motivation to be like, bro, I'm married. Yeah, congrats on that. No, I appreciate it.

Can you get married this all season? Now I got married, well, last year, last July. Who was this all season in Mexico? Oh, that was Spain. Oh, yeah, that was cute. That was a dope wedding, though. It was in Cancone. It was fun.

It was dope. I love that question. That was a good question. So, let's get on the second question. What was the second question again? My what? So what's the second question again? Second question was, if you're stranded on a desert island,

what three teammates would you take with you and why? Like, what purpose would they serve? teammates in the Tennessee Titans locker room right now we're clipping this video so everybody can see all right uh I think first I'll bring Kenny no I bring Kenny because I know he don't care he's a headhunter he's going to do whatever he can to help the boys out like I don't see him on the field literally try to knock somebody his helmet flew off he didn't care he got him like I did it for y'all did it for y'all so I know he's somebody that I can ride with um damn you kind of put me a spot because I want to just pick all the DBAs.

I know, man. You know how it is. You know how it is. You got the boys that are going to see that. But I think I'll pick Wood, Wesley Wood. Wes is a good one. Wes is a good one. Because I think, I mean, he's the Lumberjet.

He got a perfect name. I think he's very resourceful. He's almost like a nature boy. You'd be seeing it on his page, man. These guys be out here. With them crocodiles. With the crocodiles. He's just a funny carry.

And I feel like he also keep my morale up a little bit because he means like the OG. I think he's somebody to talk to. Who would be the third, man? The third. you got two good ones so far yeah i got some good ones you got west got west um i want to say logan because i just he just he's just pretty smart and i think he's he would just he would just know what to do in certain situations he would be the iq dynamic be the IQ dynamic he just i think he'll hold everything down so that's good that's three good ones if i if i can think of a replacement

while wills you're doing his answer that i might you know i might have to swap somebody out Hey, I'm not in that locker room. I get out of this question. Who's the replacement? Who'd you say? No, I had to think of it. You know what I'm saying? Because you know how it is when somebody asked you a question?

Like, they put you on a spot. And then at 20 minutes later, I'm like, oh, man, I thought of somebody good. You know what I'm saying? But I think those three good people, though. There's three good people, for sure. All right, this one's from London Titans. So this one's from across the world. Yeah.

Okay. If you could pick, which I guess technically you can, who would you choose to be your baby girl's role model as she grows up? But now I'm going to make it more interesting. You can't choose someone you're related to because the obvious answer is, like, mom or wife? Her role model. Ooh. That's a solid question.

Okay, Twitter. That's a good question. Who I make her role model? Hmm. Well, that's the question. I mean, you said I can be related to him. So I can't say my wife. Because, you know, I got to put that out there first.

I want to be just like her mom. Yeah, save yourself. Make sure that's, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying about anything. Of course, I want to be just like her. her mom. But, um, I don't know, man. I just think, uh, I mean, I would think in today's time, I would think somebody like, maybe like Beyonce or something. Because I mean, number one, I think she, she's married. So I want my daughter to be married. You know what I'm saying? To a power,

it's like a power couple. So if she's going to marry somebody, it's got to be somebody, you know, just as powerful and smart as good as her. Uh, I think she's a real business minded. She's a real business minded woman. Uh, she's smart. And just the influence that she has on like, coach she has like the beehive and I think these these people the beehide they almost kill for her so to have that kind of influence on the world I want my daughter to have the same kind of influence and uh and like I said I think uh yeah I would say Beyonce um who else can I think of um Michelle Obama you know what I'm saying like got to throw Michelle out there she's probably one of the most powerful influential women out there as well empowering women too empowering woman for sure um yeah I was

I would probably say that's some good choices right there. If I can, uh... Yeah, that's some good quality. That's a good answer. It's a good answer. I like that answer. I like that question. So, I know, I've seen how nice of a guy you are,

so I know you're not going to totally destroy me for this, asking this question. Okay. I'm going to apologize ahead of time, but I think it's a great question. Bizarro P.K. says, if you had to spend the day with Dion Sanders, what would you do for fun? the answer can't be football. Oh, that's hilarious. You got into a Dianz.

He was right. He called you a fan. Yeah, he kind of tried me a little bit. He did. It's all good. He's a Hall of Famer. So you said, what would I do with Dion? Spent a day with him?

Spent a day with him. Yeah, what are you doing for fun? For fun. What are we doing for fun? And you said it can't be football? I don't know, man. Let's pretend he's, let me paint a picture for you. Let's say he's flying into Nashville.

Right. He's spending the day with you on Saturday. What would you put together for him? And it's all on you. First and the foremost, we had to clear some things up. You know what I'm saying? I feel like it just had to be like first. You know, he has to say something as far as like, you know,

KB, I didn't mean that back in the, you know what I'm saying? You're saying he's got to come correct with a little bit of an apology. He's got to come correct a little bit. Like, I mean, I understand he's an OG. You know, he's a Hall of Famer. And I feel like even at the time, he probably was feeling like, man, I'm not going to sit here and man up and say anything about I'm giving this kid clout. You know what I'm saying?

Something like that. But I would feel like at this point in my career, like, I mean, I'm one of the better players in the league. Like, I feel like it would be cool for you to say something about it. But I don't know what we'll be doing, man. If it wasn't football, I see he's out there fishing with Randy Moss. So, I mean, it's funny. And I'm, it might be a little embarrassed, but I've never been fishing before. Never been fishing.

So there we go. So I think that would probably be something we'll do. You know what I'm saying? And, D, you know, teach me how to fish, man. teach me some tricks to get them out here to Nashville I'll be the mediator when they first meet too yeah make sure hey boys like my teammate Dion I was a cowboys were my favorite team back in the day like I respect you too right right yeah maybe yeah I'm saying clear up clear there but it's definitely no no hard feelings I've been got over that you know Dion's cool he's good

he do it do his thing you know hopefully I get that you know that yellow jacket I get that gold jacket I meant you know what I'm saying then I can really talk some trash with him you know so I get a gold jacket Get you on TV. Yeah, then I might get on TV. Then we might have to really talk some shit. This is from Kevin Simpson. It's for both you guys. Do you think Riley Bullock is an upgraded version of Will Compton?

It's a Riley Bolo. What about all these Riley questions, man? I know. What are we got going on here? He's trying to start a beef between him and Will? I know. Trying to start a beef. Like, Riley's his own player.

Let's let Riley be his own dude. Like, yeah, he's got tremendous shoes to fill. But didn't he say, is he upgraded? He's upgrade? It says he an upgraded version of Will Compton. So tread lightly, KB. I mean, you know, like I said, man, I got to see him on our team in the fire and a game before I make any kind of comments like that. You know what I'm saying?

And even if, you know, I still want to think is an upgrade it, honestly. That's just, that's my boy. You know what I'm saying? I ain't about anybody get out here on these public airways and talk bad about my guys. It's his show me. He might kick me off the show, man. He might, you know. He's for the boys, man.

He might not even drop the podcast because I said something bad about it. You know what I'm saying? I don't want that to happen. Hey, cut this shit out of it. here. So I got a salute, you know. This might be a good, like, giving it back to you after this question, but Leslie said, I asked, what was your first thought when the Titans drafted you? Did you kind of want to leave Nashville area, or were you kind of stoked to be here? That's funny, because it was one of those deals where, like, so I think the draft was on,

it started on a Thursday. I had finally moved out of the first, I had finally moved out of the of my college apartment, like, on that Monday or something like that. And I got, I ain't draft on the first day. I got drafted on the second day, so on the Friday. And I was thinking of my head, like, man, I just could have just kept my college apartment, you know? Say some little rent. It was like $500 for easy.

You know what I'm saying? Made that little trip. Because some guy, I feel like some guys making a little trip from Franklin, like 30, 40-minute drive. That's a pretty on how far it is. But, uh, I wouldn't say I wanted to leave Nashville. Because at first it was kind of a thought, like, you know, I want to go somewhere else, a new, fresh new, you know what I'm saying, fresh new spot.

But at the same time, it was like, it's funny. when I was getting drafted, the draft night, I was sitting right here. I felt like I was sitting facing the TV, and my phone was, like, on the windowsill, because for some reason, I just had bad service in the house. I had, like, one bar, two bars at the mass, and sometimes it was going out of service.

The day of the draft. So I was kind of scared, like, kept looking at my phone, like, bro, I got service. I got service. Somebody had we called me. Somebody had been calling me. Especially when I seen the first day to get drafted. Like, in the second round,

I'm like, oh, man, I might be a run on safety. It's like, oh, shoot, my phone good. But, and then I've seen the 615 number. So I've been seeing 615 for the past few years. So I already knew what it was. I said, oh, shit. Titans about to draft me, bro. It's just crazy, bro.

Staying around my fan base, brats. It was lit, though. But, you know what I'm saying? At the same time, it's like, it's a blessing to curse, you know what I'm saying? Especially when I first got drafted, I would go out places or maybe a bar or something like that. And I'm seeing like five or six people I went to college with. And now of a sudden, when you're seeing them now, they act like they were just so cool.

with you in college. Like, bro, I used to see you in the, in the student union in the cafeteria area and it may just hit you with the head knot. Yeah. But now I see you out in public now. They hugging. Oh, what's up? Hey, KB., what's going? Hey, congrats, big dog. I always knew. Always knew, bro. Relax. Bro, I, in my local, the local bar back home in Missouri, when I'll go to the local bar, like, people that in the same instance, like, you weren't close with them. And be like, man, come, man, I always knew. I always knew. Like, you were like a little brother to me. You were like a little brother to me.

high school man I'm just thinking what in the fuck are you talking about? Right, why do people feel the need to do that at this point? Like, bro, it's not that deep, bro. Yeah. It didn't, because it's like, I feel like they know that you're not really going to expose the fact that's like, bro, you know, damn well who's not that cool. Yeah. So I feel like they just put that out there, you know what I'm saying? So they can just tell a homeboys

like, man, I told you I was friends with him. Like, man, that's hilarious. That's funny. Yo, I got a question. Yeah, let's go. It gets weird. We can cut this one out too if we have to. But this one I did on F-words pod. Okay. You remember it, Matt? Yeah.

Would you rather, would you rather... I know this body to get crazy because he's slowing down. You know what I'm saying? You know it's about to be a crazy question. Like it's going to get weird as shit. Would you rather have sex with your girlfriend? Or in your instance, your wife? Right.

Sorry, sorry. No, you could. Would you rather have sex with your wife with your mom's subconscious in her body? So it's your mom's brain and your wife's body. Or would you rather have sex with your mom that has your wife's brain in her body? Her wife's like subconscious. What? Subconscious.

So when you're saying subconscious, you're saying like. I'm saying if your mom and wife are in this couch right now. Right. And your mom looks like your mom. Your girl looks like your girl. But they're both in each other's body. It's like like, like Fricky Friday like switched. Yes.

Yes. And it's like I'm having sex with my girl. in your mom's body yeah my mom or something like you're having sex yeah yeah you're having sex with your girl's body but it's your mom's brain like it's your mom witnessing it seeing it knowing about it

oh oh bro or you having sex with your mom that it's your girl that knows it's your girl's psyche that's a disgusting question you are fuck that bro that's what's funny is the would you rather is that's like

you can let's sit for days in the cafeteria and do the would you rather's. But I feel like you had a would you rather question during the season that was just like so outrageous. I don't remember. I feel like I'm going to think about it eventually. But it's probably like a sucking dick one. I thought it was something real crazy, bro.

Real crazy. I'm going to have to say, my girl is my mom's subconscious. And this is why. Because I just feel like... I'm on board with you on this one, by the way. Because I just feel like, you know, my mom already knows having sex.

So I really wouldn't care if she knows. got it had sex But it's your mom having sex with you It's her mind So it's tough I went I went my girlfriend around My mom's just gonna have to take that L She's gonna have to

You know what I'm saying Like my mom's gonna Because I can't you can't have sex with your mom's body Yeah like I'm not doing that Like I know I see you walking around Not not you know in that way But like listen Nah that's gravity catches up when you get a little up there in age

You know what I'm saying? That's wild My mom's gotta take that L because You know I might have to bring that in the locker room. That's a good one. I might see what guys going to say, bro. If anybody says their mom's body,

a lot of guys actually says their mom's body because it's their girl that they know it's their mind or whatever. They were trying to explain it. They lost me. You lost me too, my mom's going to have to take that. Yeah, I can't. That's wild, bro.

Somebody was asking about your hobbies off the field. Like, what's your biggest hobby other than football? You know, I just thought about it. I watched a lot of Netflix. Brough, Black Mirror, you know Black Mirror? I actually, matter of fact, I saw it trending, so I was kind of looking into it. Bro.

So listen, I'm already going to warn you. So this is what I tell anybody we watch Black Mirror. It's one of those shows where no episode is the same. It's not like a storyline that you follow. Every episode is different. But the first episode is the one that either makes or break you. Like, literally, I've seen some guys watch the first episode, be like, bro, I cut it all, bro.

I ain't want to watch it, bro. It's weird as hell. It's weird, bro. I think Will will like it, though. Have y'all seen Black Mirror? Yeah, why would I like it? Br, it's just, I don't want to spoil it. You know what I said?

I don't want to spoil it, but it's hell of good. Have you watched the interactive one where you choose your own adventure? I did, and it's funny. So I've watched it most of the time I'm trying to choose every which. I've got a piss going. So then I've seen on Twitter about like how many different endings you can have. It's almost like, I don't know, I don't want to speak wrong, but it's like almost 100 different endings that you can have.

I'm like, bro, I only got to like seven. I'm thinking that was a whole lot, you know what I'm saying? but I do watch a lot of Netflix I go to the movies I mean now I just chill honestly I just be chilling with my lady for the most part I don't do too much

especially not during the season and stuff like that but I'm a big Netflix guy man somebody asked what your favorite Leonardo DiCaprio movie was oh for Wall Street easy Ah so good That's my movie right there

I feel like I just seen it I feel like that was just on TV the other day And it didn't he's like he's never won an Oscar He won a this year Yeah So what did he win it for? I think you won one for the Revenant. Not this year, but last year.

Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, he's one of the greatest actors of all time. How he never won an Oscar? Somebody asked. Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Just took a piss, boys. So he's just asking me, what's your favorite Leonardo or DeCaprio movie?

What was it? What did you pick? Wolf of Wall Street, man. That is a solid one, man. That's a great movie, bro. Margo Robbie, Margo Robby, the blonde. I can watch that all the time. Yeah.

I can watch it all the time. Yeah, that was a really good one. Hey, hey, I thought of it. I thought of the would you, it wasn't a would you rather. It was me walking around the sideline in a walkthrough. Right. Asking about taking a peek when you're in the shower. Harder, what was it?

What was the question? I want to say the question was me and DB, me and Darren Bates, we were kind of sitting there talking about it. Right. And you know how ridiculous. That's what I was ridiculous. Prepare yourself. Yeah, yeah. You know how ridiculous.

I try to keep shit fun all the time. Right, he does. I was like, me and DB were talking about like, hey, how many guys do you think? Me, take a peek at the meat when they walk in the shower, like when they go in the shower. And because we're sitting there and I'm like,

okay, no matter what all of them do, everybody does. You walk in the shower. Doesn't matter how well-and-doubt you are. Like, you know, it's not like you're meat watching. Right. You just take a peek. Like, hey, you know, I might walk in there sometimes.

I was wearing spandex all day long. Got the little boy, he's just sitting pursed up on the balls. Like, I'm not feeling good about myself. You know what I mean? It might have been cold. Right, right. Sometimes, yeah, November. Yeah, right.

It was cold out. Sometimes you've got to find those linemen to go standby. Like, you know, we're on the same boat together here, I see. But, uh, DB and I were talking, and I was like, okay, so we already know everybody's taking the peek at the meet. Now, how many guys in their own? own in their own manly way can admit that they do. And our over under was like,

I bet you only like 60% of guys would admit to doing it. And the ones who say no, they're like, we tried naming a few, like we tried saying, uh, BT was going to be one that said like, no,

they're going to try to play it too cool. Yeah, hell no, hell no. I don't do that shit. Like, come up, you stupid. Like, you know, I don't do this shit. Like, guys who got to keep their tough guy image.

And that's what most guys do. They just try to avoid answering them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know it damn well. They probably do. They do? Because it's like, like you said, Bray, it's almost where, you know, it's almost impossible to keep your eye level up the whole time.

Because you're watching yourself. This shit is hilarious talking about. I mean, it's just like, you know, it's going to flash. It might not be something that you can stare, but it's going to flash across your vision. Yeah. It's nothing that you can do about it. I mean, I put it out of town. He just glanced.

I don't know. He's got a piece on him. Yeah. Oh, this guy's hilarious. Oh, okay. We can get back in the question. But that was the one. That was the one that I was walking up and down the sideline.

And I know it's been more, though. I know it's been, because there's been a few practices where, you know, Will, you know, just one of those days where, you know, the offense, they're up with the scout team, and it's just one of those times we'll just come up to you. Just what an outrageous question, bro, and just, like, disrupts everything. Yeah, like, hey, I got one for you guys. For real. Do we have any more?

We got, we got started wrapping up, too. Did you have fun on the bus? Man, I had a dope time, awesome time. Was it better than you thought? Like, what, you know, was it? It was a lot better. I didn't even think that we would go this long. It's just a fact, I feel like everything's just been flowing.

Taylor Juan, watch it back. Just saying, bro, I just might be something, hey, man. It's good, though. Yeah, dude, it's fun, man. I think it's going to be hard to top this with anybody else that's coming on the show. You know, I'm just saying I said. We're going to have KB pubbing it, too, so you never know, boys.
