Starting point is 00:10:42 Well, you know, I've always had a passion for ministry. So I think, you know, my plan before I got drafted was become a youth pastor. So that would have been the road I would have taken. Pastor. I'll put that down.
Starting point is 00:10:56 All right. That's PSA, T-O-R. As a pastor now, and a fight breaks out at practice, what do you do? Fellas, we got to, I'm going to do the same thing I did when Rob fought Michael Bennett at the end of the Seattle game. Explain that. Stop, fellas, stop. You know, like, I don't, you know, I don't want, I don't want guys fighting out there. But, you know, that's part of the deal sometimes.
Starting point is 00:11:20 It's football. Like, this is a gladiator sport, so it happens. All right. month Toronto. Pride is an opportunity for you to create your own space, to celebrate your existence. Iheart Radio is proud to be an official sponsor of Pride Toronto Festival and we won't stop. Celebrate Pride. Turn up the love and listen to IHeart Pride Canada. Your 24-7 radio stream and the only playlist you need for your Toronto Pride celebrations. Pride is so great because it gives a whole bunch of people this visibility that they've never had before.
Starting point is 00:11:52 We have a ton to celebrate Toronto. Happy Pride. IHeart Radio. I love the sounds, the buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place, soccer, football at home. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football. A show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots.
Starting point is 00:12:33 We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that.
Starting point is 00:12:53 As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, Listen to American Football as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby. Together, we're going to have meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult.
Starting point is 00:13:27 There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And is a part of the excitement because their new star is Javier T. Tarito Hernandez. Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from?
Starting point is 00:14:01 What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation? Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Varsa? From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends. Where vulnerability comes out. Conspiracy theories end up on the table and goals and lessons are shared. All in this life has a order perfect and all is just. I'm going to be pressurably, but we're going to connect. The Chicharito. Oh, Javier El Chicharro-Nandez, and together with I-Hard Radio, we're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Stay close. It is a carac. Listen to learning to be human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's the most you've ever bench pressed? I don't know. I don't know. You were in that way, come on. 375?
Starting point is 00:14:57 375? All right. That was three. He acted like he didn't know. Wait, that was maybe pre the four shoulder surgeries. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:06 So, acted like he didn't know, but knew. Mm-hmm. 375. That explains a lot what type of guy he is. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:15:16 A trickster. All right. Trickster. Have you ever been fined and for how much? I have been fine. Ooh. From who? From the NFL or from coach?
Starting point is 00:15:26 From the NFL? Oh. Face Mask, my rookie year, right? In the preseason. I go my entire career. Don't get fined again. My last year, I get fined twice for, you know, illegal crackback blocks because I'm trying to hustle and block for the returner. You didn't save it?
Starting point is 00:15:45 No, I didn't save it. I went head hunting, forearm shiver up high. No, James Thrash. I'm just kidding. James Trash. I'm just kidding. I was not head hunting. I'm just, that was, no, illegal crackback blocks.
Starting point is 00:15:59 So you're just running towards the other side. Yeah, I'm just trying to finish my ball. Which is completely understandable for a guy that played in the era where it was okay to do that. That's right. So it's hard for him to change his mindset in the latter part of his career. Yeah. Well, you change your mindset once you get fined. That's really, that's in.
Starting point is 00:16:18 But I'm kind of taking it that. He's kind of a dirty player, dude. Yeah. Face masks? Like, he's freaking. Playing hard. Not in. Playing hard, whistle the whistle.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Rob. Getting fined twice. That's not that much. Yeah, I know. I'm just messing. What's your fastest 40 time? Ooh. I mean, we all know how this goes, right?
Starting point is 00:16:39 You're fast. Man, I one time ran when I was training. I ran this. Yeah, that's the one. I ran, uh, 428. 428. Oh, woo. And we can't argue that.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Can't argue that. I had a second on. What was your fastest 100 meter? Uh, what was your high school time? High school, I ran 10-6-2. 10-6-2. 17. Now, how fast do you think you could have got that if you were training as a man?
Starting point is 00:17:04 If you put the same amount of man hours that you put into your special teams. I don't like to talk about what I could have done and this, but... Are you breaking 10? When I ran in high school, I did not live weights. No squad. I didn't live any weights in high school. Oh, you could have been so much faster. I was 17 in my senior year.
Starting point is 00:17:21 So I think I could have, you know, I think I could have touched 10-3, 10-2. 10 3. I mean, I ran over 23 miles an hour with pads. With pads. Oh my gosh. So fast. Yeah. Was that your last year as well?
Starting point is 00:17:34 Oh, I wouldn't run no 23 last year. Okay. And then last. 218. 21, 9. 218. 28. I was like 156.
Starting point is 00:17:43 It was bad. Right. You got up and got up and got it. He had it. He got up and go. Wait. Last speed question. Could you beat Randy Moss in a 200?
Starting point is 00:17:52 Now, we had this debate. Oh, I know. We had this debate. We argued this. I mean, look, in my prime... In Randy's prime. I could have been 10 meters behind him in my prime. Shadow Shea.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Shadow Shee took sleep. I ain't going up against Randy Moss's speed, man. That's an all-time speed. All right. So he said, Randy, what was Randy's 40s? He ran like a 4-1, didn't he? No, he ran 4-2. I don't know if he ran, but he was fast.
Starting point is 00:18:19 We used to mess with Randy. He floats. He does float. It's phrase. Which, because Randy was, what, like 32, 33? We were spry. And Chad O'Shea used to mess with Randy all the time. Slate can beat you.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Slay can beat you. Randy didn't like that. He didn't like that. He didn't like that. He didn't like, oh, chatty-o. Hell no, chatty-o. All right. When was the last time you cried?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Oh. Besides when you heard you were coming out of this episode. Last time I cried. I said he cried. Tears of joy. You know what? I was at a funeral for Don Hasselbeck. Don Hassel.
Starting point is 00:19:00 A couple weeks ago. Funeral. Great man. Great mentor for my wife and I. And, yeah. Great football family. Yeah, they really are. They're great people.
Starting point is 00:19:10 They're great people. They're great people. Whenever I see Hasselback, just always a great deal. Always. They're tremendous family. Really good on TV, too. Yeah, they are. Very knowledgeable.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Sharp guys. Sharp men. What's a first? date with you look like. First date? First date? Yeah. I like to go somewhere quiet where we can actually, where we can talk.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Walks and talks. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you go to a movie. You're not really talking, you know, dinner's a toss up. You know, maybe you just go hang out at the park or my wife and I, our first date was a cheesecake factory. Oh, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:19:45 With Gary Geith. Gary. He was third willing it. He was third willing it. But, you know, it gave us an opportunity to talk. You got to talk on a day. You got to get to know one. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Now, oh, really important question to follow up on that. What cheesecake did you guys order? Oreo cheesecake. Of course. Come on. Oh, so good. The best. Oreo.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Quick story about Gary Guy. And he was, when I was a rookie, he was the linebacker here for the Patriots. And he made me feel like I couldn't play, you know, at this level in the NFL because he jammed me on my very first route. And I didn't get off the line of scrimmage for about five seconds. And then he finally backed up and the ball was already thrown. I was one yard off the line of scrimmage. when Tom threw that ball. So Gary, you made me feel really uncomfortable out there.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I think it worked out all right. It did. You need that. You need that. You need that. You need that. You need that. You need that.
Starting point is 00:20:33 You need to walk me up. That's right. I got to really focus off this line of scrimmage. That's right. In the light of where we're at, some would call that an NFL baptism. Some would. We got to wrap this up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:47 A little longer than we. What you didn't do with your four kids? What's that? He said, we got to wrap it up. I said what you didn't do with your. with your four kids. It's getting a little out of control. It's fruitful multipar.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Get them. Yes. There we go. What's the Bible says? Yes. What, okay. That's what you shall do, right?
Starting point is 00:21:05 That's it. And that's why I'm asking your questions about it at the beginning. I shall do my job eventually. What's the last book we read? Last book, The Psychology of Money. That's a lot to you. It talks about,
Starting point is 00:21:17 you know, how our perspective sometimes shift once we start making money and how greed really, plays a huge factor in a lot of people experiencing financial ruin. And I think, you know, that is very true, especially in America. So, I got to read that. But what is it called? The psychology of, wow.
Starting point is 00:21:39 That's P-E-Y. Okay, just making sure. Wow, Slate. Two morning. Two morning. I told you. Your last one. I told you Slate's going to be a great gas, man.
Starting point is 00:21:49 He's going to keep us, you know, straight edge. Definitely. That's what he's doing. We're learning from him. That's what we're learning a lot from him. And we already knew a lot about him. We knew everything about him, but now we're learning more. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You got one more question and I'll go one more question. All right. All right. This is a good one. Okay. Because we really haven't talked about this category with you. Yeah. How did you prepare your steak?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah. Who? Were you like an absolute dog animal out there? Just a wild one? I'm going rare. Now here, here's a, here's an inside track for you guys. if you ask 10 black folks how they prepare their state, seven of them are going to say,
Starting point is 00:22:31 well done, okay? And I came up a well done guy, and then I started hanging out with my brothers from the other, and I realized that medium, maybe medium rare is the way to go. I'm a medium guy. Medium guy.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Medium guy. Yeah. Yeah, like the blue raw. Converted me. And then lastly, how do you eat that steak? Depends on who's around. By yourself. I had to go hands.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Oh. I'm going to my hands. Ain't going on. Fork knife. No, no. You're by yourself. I like that. I mean, when you get down to the bone, you got to go hands.
Starting point is 00:23:09 You pick it up with your hand. You got to go hands when you're with the bone, right? And just me and my sons. On that bone. Me and my sons, we're going bone. Okay. You got to teach you. I'm using, I got to use the fork.
Starting point is 00:23:21 You're teaching the boys that you got to get all the meat. You got to get all. No meat left behind. That meat close to the bone is some of the best meat on that state. Well, I think we got all our stuff. One sec. Yeah, let's go review this. Ernie, shall we go to the booth?
Starting point is 00:23:38 We're going to the booth. We're going to the booth. We got to look this over. You see, yeah, he thinks he's a dude. He's 3.1. I thought he was going to be hard. Me too. So he's really never.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, it's fortune. Oh, that's, that's freaky. That's freaking. That's freaking. Academic, read about money. Oh, mm-hmm. And he likes his steak medium. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:02 He also eats it with the hands when no one's around, but preferably uses Fortnite brown. Okay. All right. You know that I got the same page? Yes, yes, definitely. Mm-hmm. On three, what do we think he is? One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Whiz. Yeah, we, we think you're whiz. As, as we kept on saying throughout this interview, we, kept on learning about new stuff. I learned that greed is the route to people losing their money. I learned that if you're six foot five and a dog, you could play special teams for 12 years. I learned so much about Osgood.
