Starting point is 00:02:49 It's a little way of saying happy birthday, United States. Our present is some old shit that we recorded that we repackaged and now we're giving it to you today. And some new stuff. So it's... There's a good amount of new stuff. There is. There's a ton of new stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:02 This is probably the most new stuff and the best stuff we've done. Yeah. Three new interviews. And two Mount Rushmore's. Two Mount Rushmore's. The game is the same. If you have to work on July 5th, first of all, quit your job. Okay?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah. Everybody already quit their job after the life advice. Yeah. Now that you've quit your job, you're good. But if you do have to work on July 5th, here's how you should handle this best of. We're not going to have a new episode on Friday. This is your last episode of the week, but it's like three hours. So stop in the middle of it.
Starting point is 00:03:30 We'll tell you exactly where you can stop. You can save some for yourself on Friday. You are like a little kitten, a little cat that we're going away for the weekend. And we've left out all the food, all the water that you can have. Don't eat it all at first. Save some. You'll regret it when you're hungover and you're at the job that you should have quit, but you didn't quit because you didn't have the balls to quit on Friday and you ate your
Starting point is 00:03:51 life. It's like an alternate suggestion. What you could do is if you listen to it all today and then go back on Friday and listen to it on half speed mode, it'll just sound like we're drunk. Yeah. That's kind of a fun way to double dip on it. Also be nice to us and if you listen to half of it today, swipe and delete it and then redownload it.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yes. Well, do that anyways. Yeah, do that anyway. Never done. Just listen to it in chunks. We've got a shitload of content. Yeah. So open up.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah. So let's start. Let's start off with some soccer. Talking soccer. We have a great interview with Tim Howard. Speaking of which, PFT, if this is coming out Wednesday, the U.S. is in the finals already? The U.S. has made the finals, so they're playing Netherland slash Sweden. Three-nothing against England.
Starting point is 00:04:36 That was the first half. No, in the first half. Yeah. So it was five-nothing overall. Yeah. And Rose scored two goals. So now I have to eat a bunch of Skyline chili because I made that bet hoping I wouldn't win it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Fuck. Damn it. Well, that's not on the board. No. So we're good. Damn. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to eat all that chili. But yeah, we're in the finals of the World Cup.
Starting point is 00:04:54 This is going to be very, very bad if we don't actually make the finals. But we definitely did. So yeah, Tim Howard, one of the all-time great U.S. soccer players, I would say the greatest male U.S. soccer player. Wow. Tim Landon Donovan. Kobe Jones. Alexi Lalis.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Demps. Psych. Demps. Freddie Adu. That's it. Tim Howard. And Odell Beckham. He was also a good soccer player too.
Starting point is 00:05:19 He should be on the list. Okay. We now welcome on USA Legend. It is Tim Howard, hero for all soccer fans around the world. We have the Women's World Cup going on right now. We have the MLS season heating up. Let's start with that. How's the MLS team?
Starting point is 00:05:38 Wow. Thanks for the introduction. Yeah. Yeah. Colorado Rapids. Yes. Unbeaten in five games. So, you know, winning fixes a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Unbeaten in five games means there was a couple of ties in there. One tie. Yeah. So you guys celebrate that. Damn right. It's a result. Yeah. Is that weird ever to be celebrating a tie?
Starting point is 00:05:57 Not when it's booked into between wins. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Just remain consistent. If you don't lose back-to-back games, then you're doing okay. Yeah. Would you consider yourself the best goalkeeper in modern football history?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Are we calling it football or are we calling it soccer? We call it soccer. Modern football history? No. It's definitely not. Who's on your Mount Rushmore of goalkeepers? Gigi Buffon. Tony Mioa.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Eker Casillas. Tony was a good one for the U.S. Yeah. Oliver Khan. Dominic Haschick. Possibly. Possibly Oliver Khan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:27 You're not a big fan of Khan. I like him. Yeah. I like this fire. It's good. Yeah. But yeah. So I would actually say that that game that Oliver Khan had against us in the quarter
Starting point is 00:06:35 finals and your game against Belgium in the round of 16, probably the two best goalkeeping performances. I'll take that. In soccer history. Yeah. Thank you. So that game you had 16 saves against Belgium. After that game you go you know you leave the pitch you go on social media where you
Starting point is 00:06:52 just blown away with because in real time everyone was like Tim Howard's the savior of the you know secretary of defense. All these things were happening. Was it just like holy shit. Yeah. This is really catching on. And social media exploding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:06 It's crazy because like I always wonder with soccer you know the growth from 20 years ago today has been insane but you guys are still you know the fifth biggest sport in America. Is there ever a complex that happens with soccer players you know trying to break through the medium. Some some maybe. Yeah. Not for me. It's you know I played in I played in the Premier League for 13 years that that fishbowl
Starting point is 00:07:28 doesn't get any bigger. So it's for me it was it was no problem. But yeah. I mean the part of the World Cup was as you said getting that crossover audience not being the biggest sport in America but getting hockey and baseball and football fans and basketball fans to be like you know I want to cut cut out for work and go drink some beers and watch the U.S. play. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah. Right. Day drinking in public squares if you can get Americans to do that then you will be an instant celebrity. I can't wait. Yeah. No it's a lot of fun. So you you mentioned going over to the premiership so you you got started here in MLS you were
Starting point is 00:07:58 on the New York New Jersey Metro stars. I remember you had you had one save on a free kick from about like 25 26 yards out. Upper 90 you stopped at that. I think that save right there that got the attention of the coaches in England. So the talent scouts are like we're bringing this guy over see if he can play in the real league overseas. You get over there. What was that change like that transition.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Yeah. It was tough. You know I was going going from a young kid in MLS to our only one of the best teams in World Manchester United is it was a big transition for me and it proved to be so had a lot of success early on and then some growing pains and kind of had to figure that stuff out as as I went along. Yeah. So Everton in Liverpool like a famous rivalry.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Yeah. What is it like being in the middle of that rivalry because I think from the US side we all think of like Duke UNC or Red Sox or Packers Bears was is it a totally different level because the same city. Yeah. It's a family divided it's the same city. You know you go down to the pubs. I didn't go down to the pubs in Liverpool I wouldn't dare but I have friends who are
Starting point is 00:09:04 who are Evertonians and you know you got to be careful where you walk and that kind of stuff. Yeah. And those games must have been like the pressure. Amazing. Yeah. USA Mexico and Everton Liverpool for me were the craziest games we've been playing. USA Mexico in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Those always seem. Both. Same. Yeah. And look there's we've been we're outnumbered if we play in America. Yeah. The Mexican fans are crazy man. They're out there in waves and it's getting better.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah. Yeah. But obviously in Mexico we never won. Part of a team in 2012 to be the first team to ever win in Mexico which was. Dosocero. Yeah. That was impressive. It's 2-0 actually the most dangerous lead in soccer.
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's what they say. I'd rather have a 2-0 lead than a 1-0 lead. Yeah. Really. Yeah. But then if you if they score one goal then it's 2-1 and it's a one goal lead and they've got the momentum. They do.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I agree. But I'd still rather have the extra cushion with the extra goal. Your math guy. I'm not I'm not so much math guy. So you go over to England you have some success over there as you mentioned. And then you know I think you were on man you for a little bit. Yeah. Three years.
Starting point is 00:10:08 For three years. And you kind of became a celebrity over there. At that point when you were still coming back to the U.S. were you were you recognized when you'd be stateside. No. It was that was the nice part about coming back to the States is I just kind of blend in. You know the shaggy beard either.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So that was more helpful. Yeah. But yeah now it was it was much easier just to come back and lay low for the summer just chill out and then head back over. And I've read that you don't actually enjoy playing soccer. Is that still true or do you do now enjoy it a little bit. Yeah. Look I don't enjoy it like it's it's too intense.
Starting point is 00:10:37 You know I go to some dark places to get ready for a game. You know I always have and I've played nearly seven hundred games now. So it's it's work you know it's it's intense you have to prepare for the fight. You have to prepare for the for the crowd. You know you have to be you have to make sure you play great. You also have to be prepared if you suck that day like it's there's a lot going on. So to say that like goal USA goal USA. There we go.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Who scored that one. It looks like Megan. OK. So you know that's the over for the first half we got. We're just updating our bank account. So I actually want to get into that because it's psychological like preparation for goalies and I think this is goalies you know if you talk about hockey goalies they're kind of the same way where it's they're out on an island and they're kind of the weirdos of
Starting point is 00:11:22 the team. Is that is that how it feels to be part of a team but you're not really because you're playing something so different than everyone else. Well that's kind of that's kind of where I feel it's the margins are a lot finer for a goalkeeper and so you have to be willing to take the criticism on you have to harden yourself you know to take and broaden your shoulders to take that criticism on and so along with that comes a little bit of like internalization and that puts people off sometimes and they call you weirdo and crazy but like ultimately you have to go to that
Starting point is 00:11:54 place in order to be successful as a goalkeeper. Right because I think that happens the same you know hockey and soccer similar where it's you look at the goalie and they're usually don't talk a lot and people will be like that guy's an asshole but he's just in a mental spot that's very different than everyone else on the team. So is when you start a game can you tell almost right away like all right this is either going to be a long day or short like this is our defense just doesn't have it or no I got around I'll take you back to I'll take you back to the Belgium game right like when you look
Starting point is 00:12:23 at that game you think gosh you got peppered for 120 minutes or whatever it was you don't you're always thinking you can solve a problem so you're thinking okay someone just took a shot or they just took two shots all right I'll organize the defense in this way and limit it and hopefully they only ever get two shots the rest of the day but you never know you have to prepare for what's next you understand what I'm saying. Interesting so how much is that the coach and how much is that the goalie like getting the defense in the specific spot and almost calling plays. So before the game it's the coach and if he gets it right then that just kind of goes
Starting point is 00:12:54 if something if the stuff hits the fan it there's no timeouts in soccer right so it's on the older players and more experienced players often times a goalkeeper to organize the back line just to get you to have time make a quick adjustment and then get back out there but for me I think that's the biggest part of my job. There are timeouts in soccer you can just go down and pretend that you're dead which is great and then you're like oh no I actually am fine it was just a little tweak ankle. I use I don't mind if we use that to the event although I do like other sports where you get to place yourself.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yeah soccer is a little too stringent yeah when they bring out the sponge the wet Brazilian sponge filled with water and it cures an ACL in like 30 seconds cold spray yeah that's that's my favorite part of the game so yeah I know you bring up a good point because it's like the best case scenario for you as a goalie during a game is you do your job. The worst case scenario is you get scored on and everyone points at you and says it's your fault because you didn't do your job like if you look at a striker yeah you might miss three shots right three very makeable shots for every goal that you get but they only remember the one that you have so yeah it does take a different type of person I
Starting point is 00:13:54 think to play and I could understand why you don't necessarily enjoy that right those moments but it's more like relief when it's over yeah if you did your job correctly yeah I enjoy like I enjoy competing almost statistically like I enjoy getting to that place wherever that place I go I like it but I wouldn't say it's like enjoyment you know right huh right so now the U.S. is kind of at a crossroads we've always had the best goalies by the way I want to touch on that real quick we've had Casey Keller Tony Miola Brad Friedel was a great goalkeeper we've had incredible luck developing world-class goalkeepers what is what is like lagging behind with the rest of our skill set that we're only able to produce
Starting point is 00:14:35 good goalies well I think I think we've produced a bunch of really good players down the years outfield players it's just the goalies have forgotten a lot of the attention because we've consistently done that and then that has been doing we had Claudia Reina early on and then and then Linda Donovan and Clint Dempsey and Freddie do Freddie do poor Freddie man awesome I don't know where he's still he's still around yeah I know he's still playing yeah for sure he's playing us elsewhere yeah you know and now we've got we've got a ton of really good young players who are playing on the world stage Chris and Pulisic is a guy who comes to mind but McKinney is another one we just we've got some really good young talent so we need
Starting point is 00:15:11 to foster that and push him to the fourth explain that though because I we're kind of dumb and I think a lot of our listeners are dumb but in a good way that we just sit here and like why aren't we better at soccer like why you know the whole hypothetical that gets thrown out every single time we have a World Cup year it's like well if LeBron played soccer we'd win the World Cup but we I know that that's not the truth because all these countries have programs where kids are playing when they're like four what is like what is the biggest difference between us first the other countries and how do we catch up well the problem with the problem with us with soccer in America in general is we've been talking about the
Starting point is 00:15:46 whole time that there's there's you start walking start running some uncle and granddad gives you a ball there's a basketball a baseball a hockey stick there's a bunch of things that you get right in other countries where where I played around the world there's one sport like like in England you've got cricket for the higher class you've got rugby for the wrong ends so people want to bash each other and then for the for the other 90% of people it's soccer and so you know the soccer is bred from poor countries man and in poor countries you have one chance to make it if you don't and if you don't make it in soccer you don't make it and the answer is crash the United States economy and then we'll win a World
Starting point is 00:16:26 Cup it's too easy now listen soccer America is too easy right like Mike Mike you know we bring we to my daughter's under 12 game we bring orange slices and hot chocolate and make sure everything's good and nice and neat how soccer played around the rest of the world's like put your you know take your top neck tie off from school or put your shoe down and play in the street and like that's how it is and like you know it's basketball it's a it's basketball America's hockey in Canada yeah like don't play in a rink just go out on the lake you play right yeah you bring a good point because it's like in America we we have Tuesdays and Thursdays of soccer practice that mom drives you to then you have
Starting point is 00:16:58 a game on Saturday in other countries it's just naturally you're done with school you're like hey let's go play some soccer that's it and then your mom and dad are chasing it down to call you in for dinner you've been playing for five hours right like that's how it works and that's what about World Cup Wayne Rooney that's that's how we started yeah yeah Christian Ronaldo that's how we started you can tell the difference like the one thing that I think has been great with the EPL getting a lot more coverage in like NBC sports and people are watching it more I feel like people are watching soccer a lot more than 10 years ago you can see the difference in the skill level and how big it is how big of a jump
Starting point is 00:17:29 it is from us to the rest of the world and I don't have you like how long did it take for you to get over the not making the world cup in in 2016 I don't know if anybody gets over that you know what I mean I think that's I think that's probably astronaut history for better or for worse and you know what I what I would say is as much as it sucks there was particularly that year there was three dominant nations three other dominations Holland Italy and and Chile who didn't make the World Cup yeah so anyone who wants to think that US soccer is God's gift to soccer we should do this think again yeah think again what and you have to earn it and we and on that particular cycle we didn't it's the hexagonal
Starting point is 00:18:07 right yeah I always hear how brutal it is why is the hexagonal so brutal I don't know man it's uh I wish I if I if I could bottle it and sell it and you know it'd be it makes some money I don't know we win a lot of our home games and then we go down to certain places and it's really really tough to play and it's been the case for you know since the 80s was was Jürgen Klinsman a like a mistake by US soccer well it's hard to say his mistake we I mean we had a really good finish at the World Cup in 2014 right under his tutelage so no you know it was just different cycles Colford and we we cruised it the cycle before I think we finished top of the group right and then the next cycle we don't we don't make the World Cup so no it's not down
Starting point is 00:18:48 to one person like I think the team in general ultimately the team gets the results right and over the course of 10 games we didn't get the results it's simple as that I actually had the spin zone that it was good for soccer in America for us not to make it because like the casual fan who hates soccer and I put myself in that group probably 10 years ago I would make fun of the US for not winning the world not being better in the World Cup you know when we lost I think when we were bounced in the first yeah the eliminate we didn't win a game right like everyone made fun of the US and was like we sock this is terrible whereas in 2018 you got to watch world class soccer and not have to worry about like will the US embarrass or whatever it may be and people were
Starting point is 00:19:28 able to enjoy it with kind of stress-free and see it grow organically it might have been just a desperate spin is a spin so not look I think I think it was good in the sense that you know we we as a soccer as a whole we got comfortable and because we've been on top for so long and and that's not unlike many other businesses and corporations and sometimes you need to check yourself and that only happened you know you don't check yourself when you're winning right don't check yourself when you're hitting the jackpot it's only when you fail that you got to go oh okay you got to change something yeah when you get shocked into actually making a change making a difference so that being said what would you do if you were to be like okay here you know three
Starting point is 00:20:06 things that we have to do to change the direction of American soccer make us compete on a world class level um let me just be one thing I just said three yeah not on a world class level it's difficult we have to we have to produce better players in abundance right now as we just talked about it's not the case in America right like these other teams are just churning out world class players and so that's in our structure it's very difficult to do mm-hmm so more soccer academies possibly I like to just say that yeah structural foundation of us soccer possibly yeah are you more in favor of having our young guys play over here in the united states or uh go overseas and get that experience oh great question yeah thank you yeah look one thing that I truly believe is everyone has a decision
Starting point is 00:20:51 to make for their own career and I've seen guys go to europe and flourish I've seen guys stay here and flourish now that could be because maybe guys aren't strong enough to go live on his own at a young age whatever it is I don't know but um the MLS has shown that they can create and develop talent and sustain that talent right and some players are going abroad but some players are also thinking the best chance for me to make the national team to further my career to earn big money is right here in MLS so like each end of there there's not a there's not a blanket statement that you can say everyone should do this everyone should do that right you scored a goal for everton 100 100 yards what's the pitch 110 120 just depends okay so you scored the length of the yes yes uh have you
Starting point is 00:21:30 thought about kicking in the nfl chicago bears need a kicker xfl maybe no oh no no no no could you do you think you could get to it have you tried kicking field goals I think kicking a soccer ball is incredibly easy compared to kicking a football it's a lot different that was very humble no no no people don't talk about like when they had miola we keep talking about toni miola because again we're dumb and we remember 94 and uh he tried out for the jets and they're like this guy kind of sucks at kicking because you can only make like a 40 yard right it's a different skill set kicking a football from a soccer ball terribly different yeah it's still like you to try yeah just try just get your you know we like talking about that stupid stuff by the way uh forgive us because we've
Starting point is 00:22:09 done a terrible job interviewing you we should have asked this question to start messier rinaldo rinaldo get the fuck out of here a lot of people have we're a messy pot yeah we are that's fine listen what so who would you rather you you're more scared we put a free kick right outside the box you're more scared of rinaldo than messy i'm scared of both but who's who are you more scared of um i think rinaldo that's crazy man you don't know soccer i know i know true i just like messy because he's so small and he looks like the ball is attached to his foot yeah and rinaldo he's like dude okay cool you got a six pack like anyone could fucking work out and he does the thing with the shorts too where he pulls them up yeah it's not like that no it's a mess he could never

Starting point is 00:29:55 accidental luck where it all worked out in the stars a lot it's crazy to me that he was a writer and not a cast member yes type of personality it's like no we want this guy behind the scenes what the fuck are you thinking right so we get into that we get into uh working with larry david ass pregnant ass pregnant one of the all-time skit he actually started just rattling off all the skits that didn't make it to snl uh and they sounded we could make a show out of that so hopefully we'll have jb smooth back on at some point but here he is jb smooth and now for something completely different okay we now welcome on the man the myth the legend is jb smooth yes yes isn't the new spider man are you spider man oh hell no man i wish i was spider man though
Starting point is 00:30:38 but you know when they called me about the role the first thing you want to ask if anybody calls you from marvel the first thing you ask them is what are my powers right you know because you assume they're gonna give you something right no matter how minimal the power is you hope they don't give you a superpower but no i just throw a teacher yeah you're mr delin it mr delin was there any moment where you're like maybe i'm spider man maybe they're switching it up you know what it's very pop maybe not spider man but maybe i thought maybe something would bite me maybe a termite or a roach and maybe that would happen to be radioactive radioactive but you can't help but think because everything is so secretive right you don't know what the hell will happen to you
Starting point is 00:31:15 you're sitting there like damn on set but damn maybe there's still a possibility because when you read this because you when you see the pages stuff is marked out and blacked out because they don't want to spoil it you know they don't want you to be a spoiler so you gotta they they keep stuff secretive so you're sitting i'm sitting i'm still anticipating possibly something biting me a roach would be great something a roach would be freaking fabulous man immune to atomic energy oh man if i could be a atomic roach yeah tell you something man oh that would be freaking amazing now i've heard that sometimes what they do is they put misinformation in certain scripts just in case you leak something out so they can catch you just in case man yeah i just wanted i just wanted some powers that's
Starting point is 00:31:54 what i wanted but no who's who's to say i'm not going to be in the next one yeah true you know speak it into existence yeah you do have to do that i evolve into something that's true all right now in a movie like this dude they give you any leeway in terms of like improv stuff because you could just come out for a scene be like ah damn it i got bit by this roach yeah you you throw that out but you try it and they say cut cut cut cut no roach bit you right now so just do your scene the way it's written oh okay because all they're gonna do is correct you but of course they have to give you a little rope you know our amazing director john john watts he gave us some rope and um let's have fun me and my guy um martin star from silicon valley we both play teachers
Starting point is 00:32:35 chaperones on this amazing european trip with these amazing teens in this movie and um tom holland and everybody else in there and we absolutely had a ball shooting we shot in prog we shot in venice we shot in london let me tell you something man it's beautiful over there yeah you've been a pro i've never been a pro i've never been a pro people no probably amazing now i gotta go you know i like about prog it's walkable that's a good thing it says one of the only uh one one of the amazing cities that were wasn't involved or damaged in war right world war two yeah it's absolutely beautiful what's the weather like in prog because that's a big factor for me when it comes to walkability it depends what time of year you go now i was there i was there we shot that movie from
Starting point is 00:33:14 july 4th i shot from july 4th they shot earlier from june but i shot from july 4th all the way to october so it was absolutely beautiful yeah that's gotta be nice i was in t-shirt weather yeah it was a beautiful video so i gotta ask you the thing that i find fascinating about your career your stand-up comedian that's how you started but you're not cynical and like we've talked to stand-up comedians before they all have a way about them where i think they're a little maybe reserved uh a little more cynical down look at the you know dark side of life you have the opposite feel you are like you know everything about you is kind of over the top of you make you bring people in in a joyous way you have to you have to do that man but we all are different you know i think you know uh
Starting point is 00:33:59 a lot of comics do have that trait in them and and they are able to reach shape it and and do it on stage but you know it's more like therapy it becomes like a third a therapy session for some comics um me i'm 30 years in and i've been i've done so much um so many different projects and different types of things you know i think if i was just a stand-up comic you know who knows what my mindset would be yeah if i was just a comic and i was satisfied with being just a comic traveling around the world just doing stuff but a lot of times when you're just a comic you you don't have any other life you don't have anything else that touches you you're not inspired by anything else you're kind of like locked in you're kind of a loner sometimes sometimes some comics are loners
Starting point is 00:34:48 someone don't have kids and wives someone have girlfriends depends how hard you want to live and how much you are committed to being a stand-up because you get a chance i mean you travel around a country you never home and all you do is travel travel travel doing different clubs different cities it can weigh you down a little bit depends you know that's all i did when i first started was getting the car and drive two weeks doing shows it makes you a different kind of person your choices are different you know how long you hang out a night who you hang around with sometimes get a little seedy you gotta deal with promoters trying to break their face with not paying your money you know there was so many different things you know you did with so many so many things
Starting point is 00:35:27 and um i think it's just a matter of how long you've been doing it or what you aspire to do after that you know um i've been lucky because i made i made some great choices when i first started doing stand-up and and stand-up tv shows you know i chose to like some comics did stand-up shows six seven times i did it once twice because i wanted to make sure i varied my my my resume and and my and my and my and also my my creative thing you know i mean so i did a lot of firsts uh i did the first show on mtv you know when the first part of the day called apartment to effort scar brothers i did sort of tensions man theater at the inception of comic central i mean you name it i did a lot of firsts so i got lucky in presenting a style that was inclusive to um whatever they were
Starting point is 00:36:25 looking for right but i got you know just i just made sure i turned down what i turned down i took what i took for a reason you know i'm not the biggest i'm not the biggest actor and the biggest stand-up but i'm consistent and i'm happy uh that i can do what i love to do right you know also right opposed to always being at the at the you know always being happy to do certain things right you know i i'm sure we're gonna get to some stuff with curb your enthusiasm oh yeah you got some questions about that later but i want to talk real quick about uh snl because yeah you had uh what were you there for like two years three years something like that three years three years so did lauren michaels ever learn your name enough to forget it oh man you know me and lauren hit it
Starting point is 00:37:08 up pretty well really because i've heard it sometimes it goes the other way yeah it's kind of oh i've heard plenty of stories um i didn't i didn't have that experience i think because i actually you know i i auditioned for cast um along with a bunch of other people so um i i made it to my to the test which means i got a chance to go to nbc in the studio snl studios and do my final test test with um i was on with finesse and i'm keenan and myself we were the last three left and um that was a lot of fun to do so um i got a chance to come in as a guy who auditioned for the show and then who didn't get the show but then a week later i got a call a phone call um asking if i would want to come in as a writer so for me um i hit it off with everybody over there when i first
Starting point is 00:37:58 got there but i'm i'm i'm not a i'm not invisible i'm i'm very it's very i'm i've never been that kind of guy i don't like i don't i'm the pitch king i don't like being invisible so i'm loud i'm coming to the writer room loud i'm talking i'm talkable i like to uh throw ideas out which in turn led me to have five jobs while i was over there i was a writer on the show i did warm-up on the show for two years while i was there i was in monologues i was in sketches um i also did colonel brian maybe 10 11 times and he was that's when he was still at nbc downstairs i was a guy writing i was just a writer on the show but at some people come to the show and they turn them into stars and some people come to the show having already had a resume right i came to the show
Starting point is 00:38:40 the resume already i had already been on a fox sketch show with cedric the entertainer presents had already done uh lyricist lounge show you know on mtv so i had already done a lot of stuff i was i was already in a few movies so for me it was different me coming there i did it because you know it would look good on my resume to have a writing a cool writing credit and who wouldn't want to take a job at s and n yeah absolutely see i read that you were the the quote unquote pitch king pitch king and when everyone's sitting around and pitching their ideas to lorne it would get to your spot and you would stand up and just throw as many ideas out there as possible i would throw i would do i would do an average of four i would try to everybody throw two i would do four pitches
Starting point is 00:39:23 every week because i felt i like to get a rise on the people but at the same time i like to show that i was i was there doing my job and i but at the same time even though i came in i auditioned i ended up being a writer on the show i still wanted them to consider me as a cast member who knew who knows what's going to happen down the pike you know i mean but um it's one of those things where you know i did it so it was a little good on my resume and and i really had a great time there and i met some amazing hosts uh i got a chance but you know i i go back all the time and visit i sit in lauren's often we kick it and talk about things i'm working on that's awesome yeah what was your mentor type of guy what was your favorite
Starting point is 00:40:02 sketch that got on air i got one yeah the number one that you always think about the one that got on air that got on air was uh the um ass pregnant that that made that made that made it my door i don't that that made air man it made air i got i got pretty i got pretty got there funny yeah i can imagine what it is i can't think of it off the top of my head but i think it's pretty straightforward ass pretty pretty for it and to see and amy polar had this big i mean she went to her parents house they opened the door and her body's normal and she walks in the door her ass is huge yeah man it's just so funny that's great so um that's good did you ever did you ever write anything while you were there uh knowing that you were writing it for yourself that you could play
Starting point is 00:40:47 a certain character way better hoping that lauren would be like you know jb why don't you just step in and take this one i think it's i think it's i think it's one of those things where you know you couldn't hit how we write i think is especially coming in as a stand-up and not coming in coming in as a writer you know i wasn't a writer when i got on the show i was i really was probably better off as a cast member you know and i've heard that from other producers who in like now they would say you know what in hindsight we think you've probably been a better a better cast member you you came in with no writing experience but you were amazing with your ideas and to this day like to this day i could walk in that room and they were new writers who weren't even there when i was there
Starting point is 00:41:32 like bring up things they heard about me or bits they heard you know so many bits man so many things didn't make it and even today like if i was the host s and l i would probably pitch doing all the sketches that didn't make it or at least a cool monologue of all my sketches that didn't make it ass pregnant too ass pregnant too man that's a good one man it was a really good one man ass pregnant number two you're in you're in detective call of duty the you're in detective was one of my favorites too yeah i wrote that for johnny noxville he was a he was a detective that solved cases by getting the urine sample from you and he would taste the he would drink the urine and break it and break it and figure out what happens i like yeah like he would say
Starting point is 00:42:17 the first man expecting another man on the butt that was uh tom brady who's a football player throwback from the 30s first player to spend a man on the butt after a good play he got traded to every team in the nfl because no one understood what was going on here yeah this is good you you need to write them all down you probably have them all in your head yeah oh the guy who worked at oh the guy who was uh who worked at subway and and but he used to be a bank teller and they they fired him because he couldn't get being a bank teller out of his head so he'll make your sandwich he'll want to lie me on that he'd lick it his finger he couldn't stop he couldn't get the bank teller out of his head man because that's good i was torn between a bank
Starting point is 00:42:56 teller and and a car dealer in vegas oh that's good yeah so i was torn between those two but yeah it worked either way yeah so so you you don't get renewed i i don't know how you don't get renewed as a writer on snl will you i mean that had to have been a a low moment no i'd see i've always been a guy that loves to drive his own car man and i think once you realize what your worth is and and and what you bring to the table and what you want to do you can't be afraid to make chess moves and make moves like i knew i wasn't going back for my season four because i just i just did certain things that i knew would not allow me to come back even though they didn't resign me for season four i knew once i fired my uh got rid of my agent who also handled a few other people on the
Starting point is 00:43:42 show uh already knew if you don't have anybody to speak up for you right why why would you be going back or you know in that same capacity so already knew i wasn't going back i said uh if i fired this fired my agent i don't think i'm gonna be called back because there's no one there to push right to be going back and um but i was i was comfortable with that you know it's one of those things where you know there'd be a resign me it'd have been great but you know it led to curb it some gotta step out the way for something new to come in right so and you can't and you can't be afraid to venture out because there's something you know when when you intentionally make moves you you're driving your own vehicle so you can choose to take what you want to take but you also choose
Starting point is 00:44:27 to eliminate something you know that you know maybe it was time for me to you know that that opening was the opening i needed if i if i had there's two things that happened i went to LA to audition for curb while i was while i was in while i was there for a friend's memorial i went to LA for one day for that memorial i had just signed a new agent and i was with that agent maybe less than a week and i went to LA my buddy had passed away and i actually went to my LA office the LA office of my agent to meet those guys i met them in new york i went to the LA office to meet those guys and i ended up getting the audition for curbing enthusiasm that's amazing so yeah there's two fold here if i got re-signed by by SNL i wouldn't have been able to do curb
Starting point is 00:45:12 right because i've been on the contract and two of my buddy didn't pass away and that at that particular time right i wouldn't have been in LA anyway so i would have never heard about i would never heard about if i didn't fire and if i didn't fire my agent who had me on on SNL i wouldn't know but that's three things that happened that had to be in the right order for me to have an opening and be free to go to LA butterfly effect and next thing you know i'm in the office i could have said i wasn't gonna go just to meet my new agent i could have this right i could have went to lunch with somebody with friends yeah i could have been doing something totally different i could have been jacking off in a hotel room or something i don't know
Starting point is 00:45:48 you know i mean i could have been doing something totally different so those things had to happen in order for me to end up in front of larry who i never met before at her audition so at the audition i've always wanted this because leon is is you you are leon there's no like obviously you play a character when you do what you get into character but i can't imagine anybody else playing that character because it is it's become iconic right so when you're auditioning for it what what is the character description that they put in front of you as opposed to like how much you just bring in on your own it wasn't any description of the character it just said you know he's the brother of loretta which is the hurricane family that came in but i wasn't from New Orleans they
Starting point is 00:46:28 were from New Orleans i just lived in LA and found out my sister was living at larry davis house i just came over and made myself at home so for me it was one of those things where there was no description of the character there was only sides which means there's three scenarios that we can go in and do and i can't already figure the character out before i walk in the room you know and i got this thing i do where sometimes i walk in the room as the character because i like to be in a zone already to walk in the room and say hey how you doing i'm jb and then turn the character on you don't it's a weird turn to come in here like hey how you doing i know i i came in the room as the character i came in here you know straight up in there doing some
Starting point is 00:47:11 leon mannerisms looking around the room at the at the other producers and they all started snickering a little bit but see that's when your other skills kick in your stand-up skills kick in because stand-ups we have to be able to read you we have to be able to gauge what we're hearing what kind of laughter what are you laughing at actually my mannerisms my delivery are you laughing at my how i'm walking how i'm talking uh are you laughing at how i walk in the room what are you exactly laughing at so now i can take that and listen to what they're laughing at and say oh they're like the mannerisms they love the delivery they love the aggressiveness and love how i'm talking to larry right now like i'm gonna fuck you know i mean i'm talking to larry
Starting point is 00:47:51 very bluntly you know the first thing i said to larry when i walked in the room was i came in because i came in as the character he said okay jb you're gonna improvise with larry and i said i said okay let's do this larry improvise right okay my man let's do this you know what i mean i said i don't know i might slap you in the face i don't know you know i mean let's improvise anything can happen and i walked away let's start the scene and everybody's like what the fuck what's going on here the security security let this guy in yeah you know i mean right but that's what you want you want to get a rise out of them because you can always pull back if you're going to an audition high as possible you hit you hit that high note they can always say pull back a little bit
Starting point is 00:48:32 you know exactly how to pull back right when you come your ass in low they don't say uh i need more energy now you don't know how much energy you don't give if you don't give them a little bit of energy more or you don't give them so much they're gonna say get the fuck out of here get your ass out of here man you're scaring people and also that makes you almost turn your energy down if somebody tells you i need more energy you're like fuck it defeats you yeah oh okay uh okay yeah yeah right i'm gonna kill you you know i mean you don't know that you look stupid right if you're coming already controlling the room you're driving your own damn car get up in that ass get up in that ass driving your own damn car you're driving your own damn car now you're driving now they're
Starting point is 00:49:10 passengers they're on their heels now you know you put them on their heels so they don't know what to do all they know is oh shit this dude just changed the whole thing he just flipped it all flipped it on him so how much is tough to turn it in yeah i mean it's it's fantastic it's hard to i would be i think most people would be intimidated to walk in a room with larry david i had no idea he was i think it helped that i didn't know what i i anticipated going on tape and they're them reviewing the tape right that's how i prepared but walking into the room and larry's standing in the middle of the room it's like oh okay okay we're gonna improv directly okay let's do it let's do it you know what i mean and that that made me turn up even more
Starting point is 00:49:55 because now i'm gonna show out i'm gonna show off now i'm gonna show out a little bit because now i'm on stage really i'm on stage performing actually i'm giving you something you didn't know what you're gonna get and and i'm sitting in the waiting room and waiting to go in it's like all kind of actors i know most of these comedians in the room and i know their styles i know his style i know her style i know all these styles in the room already i said okay let's sit back let's say okay i know i know what i'm gonna do i know his style already i know his style okay i'm going to give him something different i know exactly what he's gonna do and exactly what he's gonna do you attacked it like leon because i i know their rhythm from working with them i know their style
Starting point is 00:50:34 and i know their rhythm and i said okay i know exactly what he's looking for so how much of the curb after that point you know when you're taping seasons is it still improv and still kind of just throwing stuff out there no it's always you i always when i go to the set you know you gotta love me we have an eight to ten page outline for the show now i ain't a lot the first three seasons i did curb i never even looked at the goddamn outline i ain't lying i never looked at the you know i found i said oh there's outlines you know i mean i know i know it was an outline because that's that's how they work but i just i just all i need to know when i come to set is what's my motivation you only do one scene at a time you're not doing the whole fucking movie at
Starting point is 00:51:23 one time or the whole tv show at one time you're doing one scene at a time i might be in there for two hours i got one scene today you know i'm not gonna come in there over prepared i come in there i don't read i didn't even read the shit i ain't lying i didn't read the script until maybe the last season i read my first first outline because i just found it easier to find my motivation in the moment right because once i get dressed in my in my leon wardrobe do rag on my little leon couple do leon written on it so larry don't put his mouth on it you know i mean on my fucking straw i walk all my goodies my little robe with no with no belt yeah gotta hold the shit close like this with my hand once i do that i mean i'm in leon mode now
Starting point is 00:52:09 yes i'm carrying myself differently i go to set i ask jeff shaffer the the writer and one of the producers what's my motivation the fuck did larry do this time now now i'm in my now i'm in my mindset once he tell me what what the scene is about i can sit there and say okay i got three options in my brain of how i can do this scene but we don't we don't because it's outlines there is no dialogue in the outline right you we create your own dialogue so you you're driving you you're driving that scene whatever you want to do and and i gotta make a decision and in the moment i gotta say okay because even rehearsal we don't say word or we say it's blah blah blah blah blah blah blah seriously larry if you even if you even sit there and say a word larry save it save it save it save it
Starting point is 00:53:00 so like blocking out the the scene you just go walking around we want a natural reaction to whatever we say we gotta start doing that before shows so that's what gives us a mode we get we that's a natural reaction for the first time can i interview you get gold using that right now yeah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah look you know blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah do we have tape of this it would be great to release all the curb seasons just the blah blah blah yeah i bet you ever watch it yeah it won't be like i go buy a dvd player just hey man genius it is actually it is then i have to make a decision as um as an actor if i want
Starting point is 00:53:47 to have his back or if i want to go against him i gotta i'm done thinking like well i'm gonna get the most mileage out of having larry's back on this and riding with him or going against him and saying larry you fucked up this is terrible what you're doing you know which way is best and a lot of times it just depends what the magnitude of it is but something about something about having his back is funny and something about going against him is funny you know when i say he's wrong and i'm riding him and telling him why he's wrong and how he should handle this it's fun and shit but riding with him sometimes is fun when i agree with everything he's doing you know in my own way yeah you know what i mean yes so and that's what i think you get the gold from is he's a genius
Starting point is 00:54:38 man he's he's basically underhand pitching you and you gotta do a swing the bat and hit the shit i've heard that you uh you get high the first time that you say something something that's never been said before it's like it's a good feeling for you right it's the most amazing feeling especially when you get somebody of larry's magnitude you see him smirking a little bit you see you see it's like yeah that means he's you got him you got him he's just trying to hold it he's trying to hold it in like okay yeah okay and he's trying to fight you and you just giving it to him and i don't break i don't break uh what's a while i'll break it depends where my brain is going but sometimes i'm still i'm anticipating moving on with the scene and how far i can go with it
Starting point is 00:55:23 that i can't laugh because you know if you really really watch the show leon doesn't he doesn't laugh at all he barely he barely smiles on the show he might he's smiling what's up man but he doesn't laugh you haven't seen him laugh on the show when i'm delivering lives to larry it's straight up i'm giving that shit straight to him raw you know what i mean i'm just giving it to him yeah you know what i mean i'm telling him what the fuck he should do so when you're doing like a second take of a scene do you ever repeat a line that you might have just improved before or do you try to come up with something new every single take once larry figures it out and he stops laughing that's when i change that shit up you know once i get that on tape really good i'll change it up
Starting point is 00:56:00 and give him something different one time i did one time i did a 10 minute rant and just kept rolling the cameras i was just rolling i was just making up shit just going for a whole story the scene was already over basically but i just kept going with it and just to see how far i can go and i can hear the the the producers you know in their chairs way over there and um in the in the monitor area just like laughing and i just kept going as far as i could go and i just stretched it out it was just it's somewhere larry has it right but it was just some stupid and i just made light of him it was that scene where larry was uh he told me uh when i thanked him because my sister loretta uh had cancer and and i said man you you're really you're really a honorable man
Starting point is 00:56:49 stand with my sister knowing that you can't have sex with her no more you know i'm really i'm really proud i'm really i really respect you a lot and i just kept going on and on how proud i was and the scene was supposed to be him realizing that he can't have sex with her no more and the cameras zoom in zoom in on him like well he's trying to figure out how to get out of this shit i'm gonna get rid of her as a music i can't be with her i can't be with her i can't have sex with her yeah the rest of my life and i'm i'm giving him props how i respect him for staying with my sister like this and you know you can't have sex with her no more and i went through the whole gambit like you can't get on top of her all you can do is rub rub her titties once in a while but you

Starting point is 01:02:35 a couple weeks ago very fun guys like i said i wish we had them in person hopefully sometime in the future we will have them in person but here they are the fielders okay we now welcome on uh two very special guests it is prince and Cecil fielder they're here with us from kingsford uh they did the body by bbq so they got naked and took pictures we got the pixelation so we didn't have to see any of the uh private stuff but you guys your bodies are looking good how what do you guys do to keep in shape i'm not doing anything right now to keep in shape i'm i'm out on the grill barbecue on my kingsford charcoal so i'm eating more than i'm trying to stay in shape okay okay and and prince you i wanted to start with this with the kingsford partnership you remember when you were vegetarian
Starting point is 01:03:24 for three months what the heck were you thinking uh just trying something different that's a yeah that was one of those like narratives that got you know once once the media got a hold of it it became such a big story and i was like there's no way this guy is sticking with with uh being a vegetarian he's just real weird man he's a weird guy he does weird things like that you know he's just weird what other weird stuff he's not like that his whole life yeah one of the weird stuff what other weird stuff does he do or as a kid oh he's got superstitions he got all kind of weird stuff he does what kind of superstitions are we talking about he didn't like he didn't like sleep well he slept with his bat when he was in the swamp i mean i i could see doing that yeah
Starting point is 01:04:10 just spend more time with that was a high school that was high school that was high school what are you talking about you are you so superstitious uh i gotta get it done i don't know uh he was he was really weird in high school he was really weird in high school um prince i remember seeing a couple instagram posts you put up put up of your pig do you still have that pig oh yeah oh yeah what inspired you to uh to get a pig like as a pet well they told me that uh when the pigs you know real little you know he uh they use a litter and you know we just our house is being renovated and stuff and i didn't want to have to like house break a dog that quick so with him i could like take my time and once he got big enough took him right outside and he never he had one accident and that was it so
Starting point is 01:04:54 that's amazing sir how big is he now he's big uh he's not i mean he comes up to about you know my shin high but i mean he's about what 150 200 big boy yeah very why love it yeah so you you got a pig that's house broken but you you named it bacon what's uh was that just you like putting the putting the pig down making sure it knew who was boss all the time like hey i could eat you if i wanted to no no just i mean you know i just thought it was a it's a cool name i mean it's like naming a cat dog you know i don't know yeah yeah i i actually think your dad's right you are weird that is a very weird answer very weird yes um all right so sesley you're a three-time all-star prince you're a six-time all-star for the most important question you guys actually ended up
Starting point is 01:05:42 with the exact same amount of home runs in your career which is crazy who hit the longer home run though in their career there's no question he knows asking prince yeah you know oh you know i told you what time he hits bombs i leave stadiums and that's it i love it that's a great line i love it so sesley you named him prince after the musician prince is that correct that is my grandfather okay so my great grandfather i should say okay so your great grandfather was prince or your great grandfather named him prince no my great grandfather was pop pop pop pop pop pop prince oh okay there's some misinformation on wikipedia if you can believe that about how you got your name i'm still gonna stick with my question i was
Starting point is 01:06:34 gonna ask anyways um what's your favorite prince song oh i got him uh but i go 1999 okay good answer good choice what about a little raspberry beret that's good too purple rain all that let's go crazy 1999 got it going yes computer blue yeah i can go on um i also wanted to ask you sesley i i read now this might be misinformation as well but prince was a righty when he was born and you made him into a lefty what was the thought process behind that lefties lefties are really on the game i mean if you can hit left handed you can own the game and during this career you own the game while he was playing it so you know we did a good thing switching them over how did you do that because i've always i've wondered that about like if i have a son i want to train him to be left handed as well
Starting point is 01:07:21 you just i mean he just started swinging from i mean it to young enough age yeah he was so young it really didn't it didn't really matter so i just told him turn around it from the other side and he just turned around he started from the other side um but that's in the genes right there i mean i mean i everybody can't do that that's just in the genes i mean he he was a big he was going to be a baseball player since he was wearing diapers man that dude was swinging a baseball bat when he was one years old so it was in his blood yeah he won the famous clip of you prince hitting a home run at detroit stadium off of uh terry francona who was uh playing i mean that's it's insane you you're 12 years old you hit a home run out of mlb park were you at that age like this is
Starting point is 01:08:05 gonna be i'm gonna be awesome at baseball forever uh it was i mean i was really it was i was surprised myself um because obviously i never hit that was the first time hitting on a um in big league field or whatever so when i did it i was surprised but uh as far as thinking i just i don't know at 12 man i mean what would you think it's i don't know i was just excited i did it then i wanted some pizza really i don't and then you know he he was doing that at every ballpark though he was taking batting practice everywhere so he started trying to go deep everywhere yeah that became a thing what was it like prince growing up in a locker room like that you know there was obviously that that uh story a few years ago about the white socks locker room and the kids in in the locker room
Starting point is 01:08:45 you seem like uh you had you know growing up you were there all the time you were one of the guys was it was it just totally normal that you were like almost part of the team uh became that way yeah uh there was a summer where i went with my dad uh sparky you know because sparky never let kids in the clubhouse anybody he let me you know so it was pretty cool the whole summer i got to spend time with my dad in the clubhouse and uh yeah basically became like you know a mascot and i'm still you know i was uh i really believe i was in a pinch hit too like i would go home mad like go back to the hotel like dude that was a perfect opportunity right there i was so bad i thought he was serious i was bad i was so serious i was so serious i was like prince be ready
Starting point is 01:09:30 that's messed up to screw with a 12-year-old like that i would definitely think i was getting in yeah but he he got he had built the fire in me though i would tell you though this is tony philips and rob deer they had him tied up in tape put him in the trash can they were messing with my kid the whole summer it was unbelievable i love it i love it so um prince your dad says that you're weird there's gotta be some weird stuff that he does that you're kind of keeping it and not telling us right now but here's your chance to get it back what's like what's he what's he the weirdest at i don't know he's uh he's pretty well i mean if i'm weird he's gotta be weird right no he's the he's the weird he's the first one let me see it has to come from somewhere
Starting point is 01:10:12 i don't know i mean no it's that's not weird too many i didn't do it but yeah you know my game that's so our game was so like it was i mean it was a different game different air when i played everything was so you know it was just so business like you know you didn't you know even you know dressed in spark you used to make us you know where sports coach if we came downstairs in the lobby i mean it was totally different game that's yeah that might have been weird that was yeah your rule follower yeah there you go follow rules never he he wears zubas uh prince you hit i think it was two inside the park home runs in your career how are you still out of breath no no no i was great shape great shape how long honestly would it take like oh inside the park home run for you to catch
Starting point is 01:11:04 your breath like fully catch your breath after that uh i mean you know you're talking you laugh with everybody i mean once you sit down and stop the high five and i mean at least about a couple minutes but one thing about prince and a lot of people didn't know frisker run yeah i mean i would rather we were at a tryout i think we were at the reds trial when he was out of high school and him and lied to dukes hooked up in the uh 60 yard dash he was actually beating Elijah Duke for the first 40 yards then Elijah got him but prince had him prince made him run and Elijah Duke was an athlete he's got wheels for big man i remember watching the uh baseball tonight commercial with you Cecil back in like the early 90s where peter gammon told you to steal a third base and you
Starting point is 01:11:46 got thrown out by about 40 yards uh on the way down to third and then you kicked dirt all over you remember that one i mean yeah i mean i got through that third i don't know no no uh you you're a horrible baserunner huh you're a horrible baserunner horrible slider oh terrible slide that was a holy slide gotcha yeah um so prince that's why the next that's why the next yeah when you uh won the home run derby uh what was your swing like going into that and and did it mess up your swing after hitting all those dingers at the all-star game would it mess it up did it like for the for the next like week or two afterwards no no no for me not for me because that was the swing i wanted to take into the game anyway i mean um you know i'm you know i'm not i didn't want to hit
Starting point is 01:12:32 the ball on the ground you know i didn't want to try to beat it out and hurt my hamstring so my swing in the game was that's the way i wanted it kind of like it was the home run derby because you know the thing is i was you know you're always trying to hit the ball hard and that was the thing for me if i'm trying to hit it hard it'll go out you know i really wasn't just trying to hit in the air so much my thing is if i'm trying to hit it hard and in the face that that's the same swing i want to carry into the game and as a a former brewer are you going to be rooting for christian yellets and this year's all-star home run derby oh for sure is he doing it uh hopefully not hopefully not yeah we don't want him to do it so um the i the most important question i have
Starting point is 01:13:12 for you prince did you ever try to touch adrian bell tray's head i did i touched it once he couldn't do nothing because i had a neck brace on so he let it go yeah that that obviously your your career got cut short it was uh kind of tragic how it all happened but are you able to look back and be like do you do you have any remorse that it got cut shorter you're like man i really had an unbelievable career even though it got cut short yeah yeah just yeah that like what you just said just because uh you know i try to play every day you know there's probably days i probably shouldn't have played because i was hurt or this and that but you know if i didn't do that i probably wouldn't have been at peace with it now but i know i mean i literally you know broke my neck for baseball so
Starting point is 01:13:53 i mean i think that's why i'm a little at peace with it i gave it everything i had yeah i gotta say uh hopefully this doesn't come across the wrong way but when you did your press conference with the neck brace on i thought you were like a wwe wrestler it was like a stone cold steve austin stunt yeah um all right well thank you guys for your time we appreciate it kingsford uh go check it out body by bbq we're gonna be grilling all summer long you guys look great because you got a body by bbq and we appreciate your time all right man that interview with the fielders was brought to you by bird dog shorts i love bird dog shorts you love bird dog shorts you probably already have a pair i mean if you've been listening to part of my take for this long you probably know how much we love
Starting point is 01:14:36 wearing these bird dog shorts and i'm not just saying that i literally wear them all the time i ran into somebody at the pool down in miami i was i was uh sitting down about to get some work done for the afternoon guy was wearing a pair of ray bands had a pair of bird dog shorts on we did the spider man point at each other we're like cheap wave yeah it's like six shorts you like that interlining the guy was like absolutely fucking kidding me i love the interlining he was like you like wearing them in the pool because they dry out so quickly i was like you're goddamn right hell yeah and then i woke up and so bird dog shorts are fantastic i swear to god i wear them just about every day that the weather is above 60 degrees that's shorts whether i wear them on airplanes
Starting point is 01:15:10 some people say that you shouldn't do that i say fuck you you're not telling me when i can and cannot wear shorts hell yeah i'm a big shorts guy all summer long probably won't take these off until october that's a fact so go to birddogs.com enter promo code take that's promo code take and they're gonna throw in a pair of nunchucks that's birddogs.com promo code take and then boom get a free pair of nunchucks with your pair of bird dogs okay so we are at uh the portion of the best of you should keep listening what we're gonna do now is we're gonna do best of football gets a little football in july we've been sitting here watching random sports for the last month we're waiting for football to come back here's the good news once july 4th hits it's like a uh

Starting point is 01:23:17 will you just you ever watch a show bloodline you just ascribed a scene from blood no spoilers yeah that's that's very funny though one of the brothers actually kills the other brother yeah oh really well does it really have to come to that yeah well jim i mean jim has told us when we interviewed him the human body craves contact so i can just imagine like if you just brush up against him he's like let's wrestle yeah well he took he took he took he took he was he was he was going over top of allison when she was five years old pull rebounds away and put bags to win the family basketball game on memorial day but now you have it now you have that look yeah that's the ultimate trump card it's kind of the ultimate one yeah he's gonna snap one day try to drown you again he
Starting point is 01:23:52 hasn't given yeah but this time he'll be able to follow through it yeah he hadn't given up on that though he's he's planning on revenge or something you know there's a game somewhere along the way he's planning on winning right yeah do you miss coaching against him yeah yeah i do i miss him being in the in the NFL yeah because you know you just had that say he watching the same tape and we would talk about stuff but you know like you always tell it got to the point where he like he was trying to get a little more than he was trying to give you know you kind of knew where that was it's like you know i know you're holding something back buddy yeah right so i'm not answering your question right right that's fantastic when we talked to him we asked him
Starting point is 01:24:23 when the last time he was in a fight and we were thinking he would say like 25 years ago when i tried to drown my brother something like that and he was what he said like six years ago yeah it's like yeah there was a situation a few years ago like an irish fast casual restaurant where he had to put a guy on his back yeah um so we have to ask you the same question what was the last time you were in a fight it's about 25 years ago yeah brother that's appropriate yeah yeah that's inappropriate yeah now welcome on two times super bowl champion two times two times super bowl champion two more times oh you want four no i was just saying two times you want two more yeah do you wear your rings not at all ever not at all okay so it's ike Taylor from
Starting point is 01:25:01 formerly from the pittsburgh steelers two times super bowl champion where are your rings at the house okay can i just say that it's really one and a half rings because i gotta be one because the ref's got the other half of the ring in the seahawks super bowl no not at all and also that's that fumble by bettis against the colts that was pretty lucky right but that was not thought that we won yeah you give you take my ring you should give that to vander jack you bring it up oh one in a quarter one of the colts yeah one in a quarter is really what it should be but y'all hard on the pimp i was reading your wikipedia earlier uh i think you're the fastest person to ever appear on part of my take probably one of them for their old patterson and you by the 40 christ johnson
Starting point is 01:25:45 christ johnson christ johnson yeah so so you but you actually were timed in four point one eight seconds for the 40 yard dash that's right that sounds like some Louisiana cooking yeah four four two seven was my fastest time okay so the pro day one that was just like that was your coach is being like yeah in hell yeah that was probably yeah somebody probably was asleep okay so i woke up like oh four one yeah that's really fast right so um i heard that you used to train uh you used to train your quickness in a very unusual way you used to chase animals around what what i mean my uncle was old school like and that's and that's and i didn't know that that was kind of the norm in florida like the boys go in the fields and they really chase rabbits like that's what they do like
Starting point is 01:26:31 i was just doing that because my uncle was like man this will get you better and faster and quicker yeah so i was just doing that just cuz because i always had that drive a good work ethic but you go down to florida where fred taylor is from where centennial homes is from they call it muck muck city yeah muck city florida that's what them boys really do yeah them boys really chase rabbits they run into that high grass correct yeah and then they get the chasing yeah makes you quick right i mean it's all mental i well do have you ever caught a rabbit no i got close you know it's it's the ski skirt they got the ski skirt like i'm not built if you get me straight ahead i'm good but the the ski skirt right you got so you touched one you ever touched one like a flag football you get
Starting point is 01:27:17 him down on flag football with a rabbit yeah no i mean i touched a human being in flag football no but i'm saying like if you gotten that close where you've like i got i've got i've gotten real close yeah nervous yeah yeah because what are you gonna do what do you do what i'm gonna catch the rabbit then what the dog chasing the car and then they finally get it right uh oh yeah um what about uh ben he's obviously come under some heat as being not a great leader so rishard mendahl said that he was racist and well known what was your relationship with ben and do you think he like what type of leader was was ben in the locker room a lot of confidence you know this this what people don't understand about seven seven can do a lot of things i like how you do that seven
Starting point is 01:27:58 yeah seven seven i mean because seven and nine we was shuffleboard champions in the locker room that was my teammate okay okay we still hold the belt but seven just if you ask seven to play one on one pick up basketball he's gonna smoke you if you ask him to play ping pong he's gonna smoke you if you ask him to play golf they say he's a scratchy golfer he's gonna smoke you he just so having to be good at football right as a quarterback in the NFL i think that's going on year 16 so seven can do it all he's he's one of a few that can do it all you know some guys like okay you're only just a football player right seven play any sport he won't play and be good at it but seven kind of understood that now i had no beef with seven whatsoever playing for seven on
Starting point is 01:28:53 offense if you're a receiver or running back could be a little bit different but on the defensive side there is no beef at all so i i didn't did a few sit downs with seven and seven used to don't sit down with too many people right if he Terry Bradshaw after they made a mess yeah if he don't mess with you he ain't messing with it there's no faking right what seven if i ain't messing with you i'm not messing with you they ain't no gray area yeah but um i'm just one yeah yeah no it's a good point because i think there's it's in today's uh like with social meeting everything i think that everyone views these teams like everyone's best friends because you see it a lot you know you'll see everyone posting pictures with each other and everything
Starting point is 01:29:38 when a lot of times a locker room a football locker room's a lot of f***ing people right and there's not not everyone's gonna get along that's 53 alphas right so you got 53 gorillas in the locker room boy that's a lot of testosterone so you can only imagine every blue moon that locker room gonna get torn up either somebody fight well really it's gonna get torn up from fighting period yeah period that's just how it was you knuckle up you put the boxing gloves on we're shaking hands out who did you fight yeah man so many man like for like for real like it got to a point where mr and this was in a locker room and off field it got to a point where paparoni on mr dan at the time and kevin cobra they they sat me down was like hey bro
Starting point is 01:30:26 you do it again we gotta let you go really it was it was just a little bit of it coming from the Orleans it was like at the time i contact could get your natural beef so it's a like if i didn't know you line what a line if i didn't know you and you look at me me and you walking in two different directions that's why i wear the shades so if i didn't know you and you didn't know we kind of have beef right now we're fighting on so you just gave me that look like we stopped looking at a big cat we fighting we fighting on site we good okay but but that's how and i brought that mentality to pissberg not knowing the position i was in like bro you're a professional like it got you gotta stop so they sat me down one time and i looked in their eyes and i was like dang and then i was
Starting point is 01:31:13 just thinking and reflecting like damn in a good situation to take care of my mom my family like i can't mess this up right so i just flip switch and kind of turn everything around that's but that's also a good point of it feels like the lavion bell antonio brown situation escalated where no one sat them down and was like hey we got a good thing going on what are we doing here now people can say what they want to say the locker room was in the locker room until levy on left like levy on is the mediator of air he's somebody you want to have interesting in that locker room levy on is somebody you want to have his absence you think helped one accelerate the internal brown stuff 100% really yeah levy on like super competitive super like when levy on
Starting point is 01:31:59 first came to pissberg out not his first year but his second year my body fat was like three 3.2 and there was like up somebody got you this year and i'm like who levy on i said levy on who levy on but i said what's this 2.7 there that's he's dead insane he's dead if it's 2.9 not not at all you know what mine is what bleep this out hand because i don't want to go on over here 33% okay i mean mine's probably 45% you don't have to bleep that out yeah um so explain to me the mentality about punching a dude while he's wearing a helmet you don't be thinking you just don't think about it just go you just piss yeah it's just i've done it too many times yeah too many times like and they bro like what you doing like you ain't doing nothing you're gonna break your hand yeah
Starting point is 01:32:46 so but at the time you just don't be thinking man when it when you're in the heat of the moment you don't you don't think at all how many times did bill cower accidentally spit on you i feel like he spits a lot when he talks yeah i ain't no telling because cower ain't no telling man coach cow was he was a players coach like they say he was hard as a coach to work with but a players coach so all this dressing up going to the airport showing up in suits because cow was like hell no like we're going to kick ass and come back home so y'all don't need to y'all don't need to dress up right now just make sure your pants ain't sagging and you look presentable but dressing up flip flops wife beaters tank tops pajamas trade polynomials velcro shoes
Starting point is 01:33:43 velcro like big ben caring of it a big sack of pf chanks didn't nobody coaching him nothing about that and what about tommy versus cower like what was the change like the change was a little bit you know business business like yeah you know that that was coach tea a little bit more business like so two different coaches saying go but the men the personalities were different don't get me wrong coach tea is another player not he's an all the way players coach right like maybe sometimes too much people that's the criticism 100% like he's he's gonna let you be you right we did everything together we did every like to this day i'm still in the 27 man group text really that's Superbowl till this day a 27 man group man to uh text and it's just our kids call each other uncle like
Starting point is 01:34:33 uncle Troy uncle ike uncle chris hope uncle joey porto kacey hampton joey like it's just it's just everything it's uncle but one thing i did like about you know coach cower and coach tommy man it's just he let our sons run around in that locker room that's cool which was huge because my son till this day he's 12 yeah he still understands and remembers what was going on like a man because my son played football like why are you trying to run through these boys he was like uncle James Harrison told me to take the soul that's a bad yeah he was like uncle James Harrison told me to take the soul out these kids at 12 yeah so they can they can come in the locker room as long as you don't instagram live or facebook live well just see jibbs harrison sit your son down and just
Starting point is 01:35:22 being like hey listen and then you just take the soul out of these kids and they're serious yeah people with dead serious like hey man come here come here a little Ivan that's my son name he'll come over there he'll be like yes sir you play football uh yes sir you're any good well i'm just starting when you hit him make sure you take the soul out of him okay okay grit week episode one for grit week presented by body armor we are here in Kansas City we're joined by Patrick Mahomes he's the reigning nfl mvp and his full back Anthony Sherman who's also known as sausage with hands and uh let's start with this guys let's start with how we start every grit week interview what is grit how do you define grit uh explain what grit is and where
Starting point is 01:36:15 you can see it we'll start with the full back because Patrick no big deal you guys really have much greater than i think you know the biggest thing is is someone that just never gives up always continues to fight get might get knocked down three four times but always continues to continue to fight fight fight over and over again and someone that you want to take with you to a back alley and and do some damage okay i like that for me it's kind of the same thing it is someone that can they make it happen it doesn't have to always be perfect uh they don't have to have the right circumstances there's someone that can uh find a way to make it happen no matter what the circumstances okay okay that's a good answer i like that we do nitpick you sometimes but oh yeah
Starting point is 01:36:55 there's there's a very there are very few players that we do that too and those are players that are so universally beloved that we like a lot that we have to find something wrong with them because as fans we have to be haters at times so um you want to get into some of the yeah yeah you go like this too much when you when like you're trying to hear the play yeah you put your both hands up to your ears like too much yeah arrowhead yeah but you're too like no but you're on offense you're not cheering that's a lie you wave them around a lot you think you look cool yeah i think it's just because arrowhead's so loud that you make a good play and they're they're still cheering oh like it's so loud are you okay that they're bad fans because they don't know the game of football
Starting point is 01:37:29 and to be quiet on offense no i'm saying the good fans because they can never be quiet because there are there's so many people in the stadium yeah okay uh what about how you always point for first downs on penalties and when you get a first down it's pretty obnoxious yeah i gotta make sure i get it you know yeah but you always like it says paddling home but think about think about this we get it think about it this way the refs are thinking about they look over they see someone pointing for the first down they're first down oh that's like oh yeah they're pointing a direction in basketball when there's a loose ball yeah i like to catch or framing a third strike yeah yeah exactly you gotta give them the idea that actually is a very good explanation for um you wear a lot
Starting point is 01:38:04 of turtlenecks i've only wore one turtleneck all season last year it's like it's big and for the lot you were it sticks out yeah i've seen you i've seen you well okay maybe it's not and i'm pretty sure i've seen you with like a headband around your neck too yeah so there's just a lot of stuff happening at your neck yeah yeah i like to have a very uh human warm neck you gotta keep that voice ready to go yeah exactly i'll lose it quickly yes uh what about the big white block on your helmet in the front that's obnoxious you gotta you gotta talk to the helmet people about that okay well you could put like a logo of yourself on it or something yeah but then you wouldn't be a helmet guy you'd be a oh okay well here's you wouldn't be a team guy well let's
Starting point is 01:38:45 put a let's put a logo of you pointing the first down that way you don't annoy me two birds with one stone i'm not annoyed by the white spot on your helmet and now you don't have to point after i'll put a picture of sherm there we guys know i have grit or maybe just a little sausage with his face and two hands stick hands coming out so so a full body picture of him yeah we might actually have a shirt and then you get a visor so that when he looks at you he's like shit i do have to throw it to the sausage with hands yeah i do want a visor next level it looks pretty sweet i just i just did an oakley deal so i can get him a visor for sure are you gonna wear a visor next year we'll see quarterbacks can't yeah it'd be sick though if you had if you had the mirrored visor
Starting point is 01:39:22 yeah that'd be sick i don't think they allow that because then you can't see the quarterbacks eyes but i mean that doesn't matter with me now with you that'd be an advantage for you it might it might help out the d you look like a robot from the future playing quarterback with both hands yeah not looking anywhere wait so do you think our nitpicking was fair you got you have to you have to be some of it um last morning last one you know you point too much i do point a lot yeah you do a lot last one your voice is hilarious yeah i mean i've heard about it my whole life i like i like and again this is one of those things that like we have to find something almost as a joke to to poke fun at but it's it's a very unique voice i know that uh coach reid absolutely loves it he does he calls
Starting point is 01:40:02 you the voice he calls you froggy is that one of them he might say froggy real quick but the voice is his go to and he actually can mimic my voice like perfect really can you do an impression of andy reid doing an impression of you that i'd just be talking yeah that's i'd just be saying words my last question have you heard my impression of you before today yes i've heard it i've seen on twitter man okay when you first saw it did you think i was the world's biggest asshole or do you think it was funny i thought i was that's pretty funny honestly because you had like a full it wasn't like you were just doing the impression you had a full like like like i was doing an interview yeah it made it down to you it made it better also i think it it helps that i suck at it and
Starting point is 01:40:41 i'm actually not good i just kind of do weird stuff that sounds like yoda and i call it an impression that makes it better though yeah it's not actually like going full out trying yeah just doing whatever you think's best yeah okay all right good that's been weighing on me do you want to ask one question in the patch of my homes oh how good were you playing 500 when you were a kid and you bet you could throw the football quarter mile right straight through the clouds all i heard was football as a kid and i didn't i didn't play football until i was like in high school no patrick you just heard me throw the ball throw the ball a quarter mile through the clouds i heard it because i can play 500 no patrick i'm playing 500 with boys in the backyard
Starting point is 01:41:19 i've never heard myself talk in person so i can't understand i can't understand is that better or worse than coach reed's no i'll do coach reed's is on point man okay coach reed is exactly what i think i sound like so to me it's on point at least do you think you could kill a man with a football i hope not i hope not i mean it would have to be very fast and hit the perfect 10 yards away 10 yards away i'm staying over here run my little mouth doing my little impressions of you really annoying you you have a football and you have an opportunity to shut me up for good okay maybe not kill me maybe just break my jaw yep so i can't probably break the jaw but i don't know about killing man that'd be pretty tough sometimes you gotta go back to actually move forward
Starting point is 01:42:10 okay we now welcome on maybe one of the most special guests we've ever had it is coach jeff fisher long time coming long time coming for you to be on pardon my take that's big company now you talk about most ever yes you've had some great people uh but you're i'm a fan believe me i know what you're doing you know i'm not just one of those coaches that's right off in the sunset doesn't keep an eye on what's going on out there so you got hell yeah i know what you guys are doing yeah so that's good company thanks for the compliment all right so then let's start with that because you keep an eye on it now i have to admit that the the eight and seven and nine jokes that get made on twitter i probably was part of the creation of that and
Starting point is 01:42:50 i want to apologize to you well that's okay we'll talk after we're done okay perfect but right outside and part of the solution okay because i'm also making the videos that is trying to hype you up to get you a new job well i appreciate it i'm um you know it it you know it shit happens in this league now i'm telling you and it and uh but it's okay i'm i'm you know we'll get into it but i'm in a really good place man i've had a blast you know the last couple years and you know uh i hadn't had a fall off in 30 years yeah and i didn't know what my cabin in montana looked like in september you know and so i got an opportunity to do that but you know you can only take so many trips to Alaska or Argentina or only can fish so many rivers so many times or
Starting point is 01:43:33 get chased by moose or bears and stuff like that so i'm good with coaching again i want to talk about that team the the special titan season where you go to the super bowl so it's incredible because obviously everyone in their mind thinks you know one yard short but we have to go backwards here for the music city miracle which is an iconic plan its own right what what's going through your mind during the music city miracle and did you guys practice that well yeah the history behind it before that year for 10 years or so what we had on our team that we practice every saturday was we called the stanford cow team okay the stanford cow play so you get everybody can handle a football left handers and right handers and then you just kick the ball off and they just
Starting point is 01:44:14 try to keep the ball live and push it down the field and as we go through the course of season we would add defenders so you know you could score against three guys and then you buy in the season you got 10 guys it's a fun thing so uh alan larry our sports teams coach came to me prior to the 99 season he goes hey come look at this tape he goes i found this way back this summer on my vacation and it was a play that happened texas against texas a enamor who somebody back in the 70s and and uh it was kind of kind of designed that way where the kick went to the one side and then threw back the other and da da da so we actually put it in and yes we did practice it but the funny part of the story was uh so we practice it every saturday so when when they when christian
Starting point is 01:44:52 makes the kick and there's a tv time out i turned to alan he turns to me we simultaneously say home run throwback yep so okay where's mace and so derrick mason was our guy okay he was the deep guy he should have been the kevin dyson okay mason has a concussion trainer says coach he has got a concussion he's in the next week some place i go okay well then the next guy the backup was anthony dorsett junior okay anthony dorsett was cramping up when i called for him so i grabbed dice and i said did you pay attention on saturday home run throwback goes coach i i not really didn't pay attention i said okay hey all you gotta do stay to this side of the field and make sure you are five yards behind the ball period outside the numbers that's all you gotta do he goes i got
Starting point is 01:45:41 your coach so you know the five-yard thing turned into five inches i was gonna say he definitely didn't do that right yeah no but as i got you coach so so we didn't work on the kick that that low caught every kick that we worked every saturday was a deep left deep right hard squib but hard squib to all different guys but it wasn't a bloop yeah it worked on that random bloop kick and so low had the presence of mind to get it and like i don't want it got rid of it got the frank the most fullback move of all time marinzo neal gets the ball and he's like i don't want it i'd rather block somebody yes i don't want this right now because i don't know what to do with it right except get it to frank yeah so he gets it to frank and i kind of i'm standing there watching this
Starting point is 01:46:22 thing come on oh man and then as soon as he got it to frank and then i see kevin kind on the side i can see across the field frank i'm kind of where frank is and i when frank throws the ball to kevin i can see byron boston okay the head linesman point backwards and i knew that that he was calling the ladder on the field so i saw his hand go back or so okay and so now i'm kind of hopping down the sideline going come on get out of bounds kevin get out of bounds and i go oh shit no score you know kind of that right he scored so and so then you know the the the part of the story that's not told is so you know it all goes to replay and everything and the world is a mess i mean the stadium is a mess to this day that you'll find 200 000 people to say they went there and there was only 60 000
Starting point is 01:47:12 but so in my mind i'm doing the math and we're up by five right or maybe four whatever it was but i gotta go for two okay the most elementary chart in the world go for two chart says go for two i didn't think we could execute a play offensively once the ruling came back stays on the field right so i said what are the odds of this happening again in my mind i said screw always kicked the extra point they brought the ball out across midfield it's in the game you know what i'm talking about though no that game wasn't over till it was over for me yeah what would happen if dyson had caught it did he have the arm to get it was he gonna throw it to ycheck yo yeah dyson getting the ball back crossfield he's got the arm to do that oh yeah that's hilarious
Starting point is 01:47:57 that he just didn't pay attention in the five yards you know dyson's a utah state kid i think no just if i get it wrong it was a youth play utah or utah state and it's just kind of like a cool what you know go happy go lucky california dude you know right yeah i really didn't pay attention coach that's awesome for the biggest play yeah unbelievable yeah he didn't have time to over thank you so bud adams was in the elevator going down game was over wow personally my father was in the restaurant wow yeah he was yeah and so here's something he can admit so i have a my son was he was running polaroids back then on the sideline so he's on the sideline and so we're all at home in the kitchen got the little tv in the kitchen going and everybody's
Starting point is 01:48:42 over and we're watching this thing right after the game and and i hear him go hey look there i am there i am he has planes he has fans playing it over and over and over and i go where are you he goes right there and so he's at the bottom of the screen and he's he's he's jumping up and down you seem like 15 10 5 and he's jumping he goes in the end zone and he's like yeah that's cool i made team i go hey what the hell are you doing in the white and he he stops i go if you hit that fish he'll hit you bumped you in the you're in the white on the field none of this happens and oh i felt so bad he's just like got sick this time i go no no no no it's okay it'll been sessed on a kick off we've been quiet yeah my time was special yeah right yeah no he wasn't even close but
Starting point is 01:49:24 so if you see bakers down that's brandon yeah you know that's brandon who coached me for five years so let's go forward to that super bowl which is also an iconic super bowl uh also on my birthday whatever not the brag so we have that in common all right so that game one yard short the one thing that i think people forget about that game is you guys were down 16 nothing and that game was basically over and then there's a video of you yelling at the team in your zip up sweater vest which was awesome by the way thank you that was a logo athletic thing that they never ever paid me to wear oh no they it was one of those deals hey coach wear our vest and we'll pay you there yeah yeah then they went out of business the next year yeah and so that play so you're down
Starting point is 01:50:05 16 nothing you come all the way back and the play before is the McNair play that is one of the all time plays in the super bowl that kind of gets lost because of the next play that happens what goes through your mind after that play and basically like how many times did you watch that play over and over the weeks once yeah i didn't um i didn't watch it i mean i you see the last play but i didn't watch the game for 10 years wow yeah so i knew what happened i didn't need to and i didn't tell i was going to do a feature story on it so i need to go back and refresh my memory and i i read the play by play first and then went back and watched the game but we lost our starting free safety which is a key component of our defense in the championship game marcus robertson down in jackson
Starting point is 01:50:45 bill a week before and then we lost blaine bishop our other safety so we're down to our third and fourth safety so that was an issue and that there was a result there was some confusion we give up a couple big plays but yeah see what what i i felt this strongly felt this at halftime was that we got away from who we were particularly because we were trying to do what they were doing which is pick it up and throw it so we got the message to everybody the coaches that hey here's what got us here here's what we're gonna go back to and we're gonna give this we're gonna turn this thing over to eddie and steve and go so you know that happened so yeah the steve play at the end there to escape to you know to get the first done even the scramble around to get the dyson to make a big
Starting point is 01:51:21 first down was huge and then you know it's one of those deals you know um uh you know it was not i mean it was hard um it was so close i mean if you look at the play on tape they dropped eddie who was swinging to the left um and then you know you guys get excited and you know the design was to have kevin push you know a yard or two deeper and if kevin pushed a yard too deeper then mike would have at least flipped his hips and been moving up the field and kevin would have come underneath and it might have been closer he might have walked in don't know but that's football but you know the moments the special moments that you have with your quarterback and your team after that and the memories keep in mind and we talked about this but this the this year super bowl here
Starting point is 01:52:06 a few weeks away it's the first time it's been in lana since then and um so there's a lot of people wanting to know about the specifics of the last thing let city of lana was awesome it was just there was an ice storm and we had one week so we practiced on ice at george tech on the outside practice we didn't have the luxuries that they're going to have this time around but you know when it's all said and done and you realize that you're that close the memories um of the things that happened after the moments that i had with eddie and the moments i had with steven for example eddie we we leave atlanta go back to nashville tuesday we have a big parade and the parade's over eddie comes into office he goes i don't want to go to pro ball i really what's the matter eddie are you
Starting point is 01:52:51 losing your mind or no man jeff i don't want to go to pro ball go eddie you were you were voted by your peers voted by your coaches voted by the fans to go to pro ball you can go out to hawai it's warmer out there you can go out there drink margaritas and my ties at practice you don't want to go to pro ball he goes no man he goes i want to start on next year right now you know and that's what happens when you lose that game yeah and especially that close anything to get that taste out of your mouth they want to start on next year and that's how steve was and it was a it was a great group of guys okay we now welcome on two very special guests they are the draft gurus for espn they have a podcast called first draft go listen to it they have all the info you need for the draft
Starting point is 01:53:37 coming up on thursday night it is mel kiper it is todd mkshay i want to start with an easy one guys are do you sleep this week like what does it look like this week are you just wall to wall draft coverage go ahead mel yeah basically i can't speak for todd but now you you have calls you have to make as well you know you got to in between all the different stuff you're preparing for espn dot com and obviously getting ready for the draft and finalizing grades and doing all that you have calls to make to your friends in the nfl and obviously friends that used to be in the nfl anybody that has information that you can kind of gather and put together and work in conjunction with which you've heard so you need time for all that but now sleep wise i'd say todd i'll say i usually
Starting point is 01:54:18 get the bed around one two and up some at five six you know mel's earned it i'll give it to him but he also stays at the kiper compound he's like the cozy home oh yeah his wife there friendly homemade meals and all that stuff i'm back down here last night bristol today tomorrow all the shows and then fly into nashville where he's just chilling and everything's good he's going over to see bus brainard the highway yeah over at uh over margaritaville tomorrow okay well you guys are in your studio right now in bristol we're here in new york so this isn't face to face we're losing that personal touch so i thought i'd just give you an opportunity to set the scene a little bit todd can you describe to us in detail how mel's hair is looking right now he's in a different studio
Starting point is 01:55:03 right now but let me tell you this i have stood with him on fifth avenue walking out of the hotel going over to uh where where was the the draft that year mel the early years radio city radio city and it was a windstorm you guys know it's like the wind tunnels and on fifth avenue and all those those avenues i've got my tie is sideways rain's coming down i'm a mess everything's falling all over the place i looked over and kipers hair hasn't moved an inch never does consistency we like guys who look good in shorts and mel you should know something about that uh jimmy clausen oh yeah that was one of my best evaluations ever wasn't it looks great in shorts he looks great in shorts what happened there walk us through what how you still are i guess i was too much of a noted
Starting point is 01:55:52 aim fan because i've been ripped for not having rick myer high enough i had i'm glad we get to talk about this publicly this is good yeah and i what about brady quinn i am destroyed i figured i'll give them no their name that's my team i love no their name i'm big in the fighting irish and then you promised you were gonna retire yeah i'm gonna read that quote for you guys here okay because you said i was forced out of retirement after about an hour we're gonna we're gonna run through the entire transcript here if jimmy clausen is this is mel kipers speaking if jimmy clausen is not a successful quarterback in the nfl i'm done that's it i'm out his career is over you guys he can come out of retirement then todd says what's your time frame mel when do we make that assessment
Starting point is 01:56:29 and then you say i want eight years todd says it will only take three years mel we can tell inside three years you said i want eight it's been eight years and you said that you were done 18 and he was screaming i was like i was just a young guy you know trying to make my way in the world and he was just guys i was trying to make todd look good he was an unknown nobody knew who xay was richmond spider 15 string quarterback nobody ever knew who the heck he was he wasn't one of the boards nobody even knew he ever played the game and he's coming on the espn people thought yeah what are you doing what's this who's this guy i had to give him credibility what's the best way to give a newcomer credibility fall in the story i did it all for todd yeah all set up for
Starting point is 01:57:13 god yeah all right so in fairness todd i want to hear your uh worst the worst evaluation you've ever done the guy that you're like i totally missed on him uh jan marcus russell a lot of people he can throw far for with this on his knees though that's 60 yards yep that pro day man i've never i still have never seen anything like it just a freak but then i mean i again i was young and dumb but i trusted the people i trusted some of the people i shouldn't have trusted in terms of who he was but i should have known jan marcus went and sat down after his workout made everyone in the media and everyone come over and talk to him because he was just kind of tired and lazy and everyone just kept saying no he's poised you know he's relaxed all right he doesn't let anything get
Starting point is 01:57:58 to him but he um he was lazy and i i took it on the chin he was exhausted after after his pro day workout you throw him from his knees yeah yeah that that would be a red flag do you guys root for the players that you've gassed up or the guys that you say like for example in that draft when jan marcus russell hits the field for the first time are you rooting for him to succeed i mean i could lie to you i kind of do some guys certain guys i don't necessarily root for failure although i don't get upset with kiper loves a guy and and i don't but i you know just being just being real with you sure yeah sometimes i've watched and i'm like oh man what come on now here we go what's the guy you guys have disagreed on the most the most yeah the two Notre Dame quarterbacks
Starting point is 01:58:44 hated josh allen last year i did i oh i i introduced you to josh i did his conference championship game the year before you didn't even know who he was oh yeah but you hated him so must i like anything you saw this is great this is great adam is like the seventh or eighth best player in the draft you're out of your mind yeah yeah but yeah okay go back to go back guys go back to some of the little commentary from mr mick shay Todd Todd Todd won josh allen and let's see what i'm talking about okay i had to defend the guy to the hill the entire way through the process when everybody was beating up josh allen thank you i defended him and here we are franchise quarterback it's not even worth it anymore that's so good that's so good um all right ryan tannahill
Starting point is 01:59:27 is another one by the way oh i like tannahill you love them i didn't like i wasn't high yeah i like i'll eat it he could stay healthy if he stayed healthy yeah if he stays healthy this is the year he takes him he is a good player when he's healthy sam bradford's a good player when he's healthy you just can't stay healthy and i thought he was hey by the way sam bradford went number one when claustin went in the second round at least they could cut the ties with claustin bradford cost that many people whoa whoa bradford hey hey hey hey let me give you some advice bro stay away from stay away from brady quinn and claustin hey i'm not hey stay away from bradford what did that get you i like this this is like this is great this is like back in the day with john clayton and shon
Starting point is 02:00:16 okay we welcome on recurring guest and friend can we say friend i think we can okay it is jj watt best friend jj in new york city it's great to have you back on great to have microphones this time so everyone can not yell at us which was our fault yeah no i hopefully they can hear us this time fun little story when we interviewed you in your gym in wisconsin we hired some outside people to like do the audio and the video and one of the guys brought home his computer and his kid like went on the computer like they transferred files and he just watched the whole thing and then dm dust was like hey i have all the jj watt footage and we're like uh could you not release that please so it was a clusterfuck from start to finish but it's good to have you here it's good to have you
Starting point is 02:01:01 in the office uh where we want to start you want to start with football we can start wherever you'd like to start cat all right let's start with football uh good year for the texans good not great good not great i like that attitude i like that a lot so where like you're not getting younger obviously none of us are but you're you know about to be 30 it's a hot take yeah it is a hot hot take about you guys are the texans feel like that team that's always kind of flirting with it right where like is it get harder every year when you you know get bounced from that first saturday playoff game that you always play well i think with the type of team that we have now and obviously i mean you have a quarterback and when you when you come into a season and you have a guy who you
Starting point is 02:01:41 know is going to be the quarterback you have a whole off season to work with him and and the type of talent that we have i mean hop is an unbelievable receiver you got lamar miller in the backfield the defensive guys that we have you have a chance to build on that chemistry that we worked on and obviously it didn't end the way we wanted it to but the nine game winning streak and learning from an oh and three start and coming back and winning games um we have we have some young guys and so in our quarterbacks the young guys so to be able to go through that season and some of the ups and downs and to have such a tough ending like that it makes you hungry to go back in there and work and i think that that's going to help us this off season what motivated you more so i well no i know
Starting point is 02:02:17 what motivated you more but is there a little small part of you that was motivated by the fact i would have to cut off my pinky if you won the super bowl once i heard about it i did start doing extra reps in the way around i did stay after practice a little bit would you have watched would you have come i i would have been there yes i said you could have cut it off i would have been there it would have been great i don't know if i could have stomached cutting it off myself right but i definitely would have sued you right away i mean brilliant yeah super bowl check gone yeah there you go that would have been would you have legitimately followed through 100 how much of it would have gone from the tip up and now i'm gonna have to do it every year i'm gonna have to pick a
Starting point is 02:02:52 team right so i picked it when you guys were owing i think you picked it when you're like one two and three no no what happened was so we put the dun chain on yes you probably were aware of our famous dun chain everybody talks about it um when you guys were owing three we hung that necklace around your neck um and said the texans they're not winning they're not doing anything this year we count you guys out um amongst many other pundits i think correct we wrote you guys off and then after you went on a little run i was like i think we gotta reconsider the dun chain and maybe take the necklace off him and big head was like they're not doing shit doing the super bowl i'll cut my pinky off all right and it was a record scratch moment we're like wait wait did you just yes you
Starting point is 02:03:29 say that i would once you say something like that on this show like we're all in like yeah there's no turning back from that i would have he would have yeah i respect it would have been a great content moment i mean can you imagine the viewership yes well i would have sold you got a pay-per-viewed it yeah i would have sold ads like mini ads on the tip of my pinky and had a zoom in and as it gets cut it's like brought to you by one eight hundred you may want to consider doing it just for the content i need i need you to win maybe it's no i'm gonna do you stick with us every year i mean hey i mean come on i'm gonna stop do you know jim tebow i i mean acquaintances yeah our thought was that he could come in and circumcise big cats pinkie just tip off tip off
Starting point is 02:04:09 right he's got experience i mean if you want to make that phone call i mean he has uh yeah he's been out he's been in the trenches yeah for sure so i mean i guess maybe i will do i'm not going to do it right now but maybe next year i'll give you that extra motivation again and be like all right you can cut off my pinky you're watching me cut off right pinky because what better what better superbowl like you win the superbowl you're you know you reach the highest height and then you get to watch your number one trigger twitter troll cut off a piece of his finger oh yeah piece to the pinky yeah that's the hashtag so last time we spoke we were probably you probably thought we were huge assholes oh yeah and then big time twitter trolls and things were things were a little dicey online
Starting point is 02:04:49 with uh hey jj stuff for a while which kind of died down after after you sat down and talked to this but to be fair you've kind of you've kind of moved past what you were doing in the past too with some of the cringy stuff the extra medium shirts all that stuff the fort minor all that how big of uh how much credit should we get for improving you as a person because i noticed that you didn't win walter paint man of the year until we visited right right right no i i think it's fair you know i think that sometimes um obviously i think it there may be of times it was over the top with the uh hey jj all that stuff but i also think that there is something to i mean there sometimes people have to call you on your shit and i say it's fair and i think that if you're not
Starting point is 02:05:26 able to sit there and look at yourself and really kind of take inventory of what you've been doing and what you might need to change and things like that um so i i do think i'm a different person from that back then i don't know if it was all because of that but i do think that it played a part in it for sure um but i'm always trying to grow i mean i'm still gonna i'm gonna guarantee i make more mistakes going forward but we're just you're like very we're actually your best friends you know we're the friend group that's like hey we're gonna call you out on your show you're the people that say hey there's broccoli in your teeth right yeah exactly no but i you we were probably a little too harsh it was you the great part about that whole interaction how it ended is that you
Starting point is 02:06:04 also proved that uh as soon as we i think we walked away being like don't meet the guys that you troll online because you find out they're great people like you actually are a great guy and it was fun to meet you and be like oh shit maybe we should like pump the brakes and you also going forward i think helped us with future guests being like yo if you come on it kind of takes the air out of the joke and it just makes it a relationship right you know what i mean it goes from this like adversarial thing to like hey we're just friends now yeah did you hate uh hard knocks yeah um but you were especially the star it also came at a time that wasn't that was peak jj yeah it was that was peak jj it is one of those things where you look back and you're like
Starting point is 02:06:44 shit man if i did that today i would i would do it a lot differently you know yeah um i'm happy that you did it so yeah i know yeah yeah i mean it it is just it is such they're around 24 seven yeah you know and i mean so like i don't care how normal you say you're gonna act i don't care how like every single time you turn around and you see a camera microphone you know but you cannot physically act completely normal all the time right it's just hard um we have it here i mean we we get filmed all the time and it does there's many times where it's like this sucks right because you're yeah yeah so i mean no but i i look back at that and there's definitely some things where i'm like dude i mean come on the tire flips we're good i like the tire flips do you still listen to fort
Starting point is 02:07:27 minor um it comes on every now and then but no i wouldn't say it's in the regular rotation okay what's the spot if i just when it comes on i think if you guys every single time i mean it's over i mean like what do you want me to do like 10% like oh jeez that's so good that's so good yeah do you think you're ever gonna get cut it's hit it's possible i mean it's it's just popped in my head it's a business we're at that portion of the interview where we're just doing no i like that i like that it's definitely possible oh speaking again cut how come you haven't trained with knives like aerondonal good questions that's because it's scary yeah yeah it is it's wildly dangerous yeah he actually told us they were
Starting point is 02:08:06 fake knives that's bullshit come on how many more years you think you know i mean like that like how come like you could you imagine could you imagine if i did that four years ago oh we guys were at least you yes i mean it would be game over jj knives are actually like cause yeah thousands of murders a year yeah like every every now and then like on my instagram explore page i'll see something whether it's an athlete or not an athlete and i'll be like if i did that in 2014 or 2015 yes i was yeah no doubt but i think that's part of it too is like you're when that was kind of during like a come up like i was yeah you know so as you're on the come up anything you do becomes a news story so like they'll pick up anything and it becomes a headline like my house up in
Starting point is 02:08:50 wisconsin all that stuff and it's headlines and then it's like you're everywhere and it feels like oversaturation and you kind of do stuff that i was doing right obviously i don't wouldn't do now but it just it all culminates in like uh okay this guy's turned into and the internet i think was a little meaner like the internet shifts the internet does weird things still pretty mean it is still pretty mean but it's mainly twitter's twitter's but it all just kind of shifts i get maybe it's not the internet's meaner i think people have become more aware of trolls and start to kind of tune like people now know the playbook controls do you know what i mean yeah like if you if you feed them it gets worse right so right you should never have responded to us
Starting point is 02:09:30 we wouldn't be here today yeah that's true and we wouldn't be friends that's correct uh how many were years you're gonna play it's a good one you almost retired when when you wrote that letter saying you almost retired i said i thought about no remember but then you saw the kid wearing your jersey and you were like i'm not gonna retire because he wasn't wearing your jersey you're right that was kind that was almost like the end of yes that was like the start of a transition towards yes two years away from the game we'll do that to you yeah it was a sappy story it was good story yeah it was you actually wearing your jersey yeah no it was real i mean that whole story was real see that's the thing like even like during that time because of like what i had built up i guess
Starting point is 02:10:06 yes like even when you're writing something that's a hundred percent real and true and like everyone's like come on yeah it was like dude it's really the kids wearing fucking jersey i'm like no i can't see you're like during that time i was like as i was writing this article i was like this is so pointless because i'm right this is a hundred percent true and it's like a legit story but i'm gonna get ripped for it okay we now welcome on nfl hall of famer some say the best passer of all time i'll say it right now the best passer of all time it is dan marino would you say that you are the most talented nfl player like between the sidelines to wear ice to toner gloves you were you were oj uh don't don't ask that question yeah bad question between the
Starting point is 02:10:47 lines don't ask that question football in july was brought to you by zip recruiter hiring can be very very challenging i don't have to tell you guys that it's hard to find qualified candidates it takes a long time there are too many applicants sometimes and zip recruiter will make it easy for you zip recruiter dot com go check it out it's the best website to find qualified talent that can come in and help your business from day one zip recruiter sends your job to over a hundred of the web's leading job boards but they don't stop there they've got powerful matching technology zip recruiter scans thousands of resumes to find people with the right experience and invites them to apply directly to your job as applications come in zip recruiter analyzes each one and spotlights the

Starting point is 02:12:19 of my take the early years yeah listen to the 2000 our very fourth episode we should actually start to rebrand like the year 2016 is the early tapes our version 1.0 yeah the underground tapes unreleased we should start releasing unreleased stuff but then not all of the unreleased stuff do we have anything that's just never been released uh pudger Rodriguez pudger Rodriguez maybe yeah you know we should do we should handle Dan Bilzerian yeah so I've got an idea for Dan Bilzerian what we should do is we can't that one we're like contractually obligated no no we don't do us for like ten million dollars I don't care to be great publicity you probably should do us for saying that yeah um what we should do that one we should find one person to buy it yeah like uh
Starting point is 02:13:01 screlly wake inside a jail yeah so just like sell it to one guy for $50,000 and you get the Dan Bilzerian interview in um all right so actually you should probably listen to this first Mount Rushmore then stop it because we're going to do Mount Rushmore of songs of the summer songs best songs in the summer not songs of the summer yeah because that's different that would be like going year by year I have a couple of those yeah some of those are I'm sure those are in there but these are like songs that sound better outside yeah sound better when you're drinking summer songs sound better when you don't have any response actually every song sounds better when you don't have any response that's why Sunday Night Football Gym it's so nice but it is specifically
Starting point is 02:13:39 here here's how we best explain it there will not be any radiohead on this Mount Rushmore yes right there's gonna it's gonna be songs that you listen to in the summer oh Hank's got all his radiohead Hank has karma police okay so let's here's here is the issue though boys can I address an issue before we start we're about to do two Mount Rushmore's we also are in time traveling so we haven't taped Monday's show yet where we're doing a Mount Rushmore what is the order that we're going to do Monday show in and then what is the next two orders so on Monday's show I went first I went first on the most so you wait no I went first on Friday yeah so I go first on Monday's show no hey Friday show you did yeah so then I go first because I think it's this way I think
Starting point is 02:14:26 we're going this way right no it's a go big cat for Mondays and then Tuesday should be PFT okay wait wait so I go first I don't have a show on Tuesday no no wait wait whatever this day I go first on Monday show right yep all right so PFT you go first on the first Mount Rushmore then okay you go first on the second Mount Rushmore correct got it okay all right ready songs not songs summer songs summer songs summer songs number one keep it very simple smooth nice Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas 20 years ago does it it feels like it came out yesterday it does the way that they play it on every sporting event always does always does except for hockey it's never it's never an intermission song for hockey good pick on that I will also keep it simple a little cliche if you
Starting point is 02:15:09 will but still still bangs five o'clock somewhere that's good okay that's good all right I will go so I get two now whoo okay I'm gonna go with sublime garden grove and ice cube it was a good day good choice both those throw them on while you're in your car boom nothing better good choices both I will go with slightly stupid kind of like sublime closer to the sun slightly stupid okay wait do we decide if we're gonna put any of these songs in this show I think maybe some clips do we yeah clips most uh oh we're gonna make us we're gonna put a spot of play we'll do a playlist and here's the deal if it's not in if it's not in the actual episodes because of licensing issues yes we'll just say that exactly okay so what was your song closer to the sun slightly stupid okay
Starting point is 02:16:00 interesting number two all right so you have two here why is that interesting I thought it was an interesting choice why as I just thought it was interesting you just thought it was interesting I thought it was a very interesting choice is it okay for your brain's interesting it's fascinating appreciate that yeah no problem I like to keep it I like to mix it up yeah all right my second choice is I'm gonna big pimpin big pimpin is a song that sounds it just reminds me the summer when you hear it like the little uh the steel drums any any bob marley song but yes that's not a bob marley song but I was thinking steel drums it could be Bob Marley yeah uh so my next one is going to be despacito oh that's good that was a song of the summer it was a song of the summer it was a
Starting point is 02:16:42 song of the summer speaking of songs of the summer donza caduro oh you put that on every playlist that's ever been created yes where and that's where the that's where it belongs I know I know I know okay all right uh so I got my last two I actually have a bunch that I want to talk about after for uh honorable mention all right I'm gonna go song three I'm gonna say almond brothers blue sky when that song hits when you're in the car oof nothing better nothing better and then my last pick is going to be a little night summer song so this is maybe when the party is ending and it's that you know when you get that like cool like maybe little breeze and a summer night beautiful summer night where the heat maybe it's hot all day and then boom the heat breaks a lot of
Starting point is 02:17:27 description yeah I'm setting the tone here little bob seager night moves oh night moves is good one that's a that's a good one if you're driving in the summer like late night in the summer and you just feel get those windows down whoo yeah night moves is good I would also say Hollywood Hills yeah or Hollywood nights bob seager Hollywood nights with the windows down is electric you just want to scream at the top of your lungs yeah so good say what you want about Michigan but that state knows how to do summer it does okay Hank your last pick there are there are a lot of honorable mention but I will go with uh men down under oh that's a good one okay very nice that's definitely a middle of the day one yeah party going yeah I mean
Starting point is 02:18:09 all my songs were based off like the beach being like songs you want to hear when you're at the beach I'm so right now I'm agreeing with Hank and I think it's a great choice I don't know what it is we come for wait yeah that'll land down oh it's meant it would land down under I knew what you were saying okay what did I say you said man down under that work that's a different one totally works yeah you're thinking about the Dwight Howard episode yeah okay um my last pick is well shit I've got I've got it down to two oh I'm gonna go with oh that was a that was a mean all the German summer of 69 summer 69 summer 69 great song that's a good song I got my first real six yeah oh yeah oh yeah that was my good choice I also had on the a little too honorable
Starting point is 02:18:55 mentions put me in coach that's a little cheesy yeah you could do that first song this summer maybe if you're like 14 it does sound better in the summer yes you don't want to listen to put me in coach in February oh fuck no it's really just the beginning it's just that first like before the before the words start that first like yeah yeah okay yeah exactly yeah if you play put me in coach let's say in early December on Spotify it should send a message to local law enforcement being like pick this dude up all right so Liam when you make the Spotify list put all the honorable mentions in there too so it's not just a 12 song playlist right and we should definitely listen to this in like late December yeah just sitting around when the sun sets at like four four

Starting point is 02:30:46 you know what are you doing this week it's like I gotta go to Atlanta Super Bowl they're like what for is just man of the year stuff what did you do what did you do to get man of the year I helped out in my community okay so well I like I have a foundation that supports mentally disabled and first responders and then they kind of like pick a guy each year then I guess this is the first year that they brought all 32 representatives yeah right well like every team gets a nominee every year but then they used to only invite like the finalists right they brought every they made a big tent party and we're still not all that high up on the priority list because I should me and Kenny stills rode over together because he wanted for Miami and we both checked in at the same time
Starting point is 02:31:19 and both of us had two full beds in our room oh that's a tough life you didn't get the king no I said you gotta be just one big one's fine yeah you got two full that's actually big one that's better I prefer that when I'm in a hotel alone because you got one that is just for like your luggage and shelf throw all your shit out pretty much a closet yeah exactly and that's actually the best way to do it so they really hooked you up yeah that's nice you got two beds that's I mean that's more than the barstool house so uh man of the year nominee helped out the community but here's the important part and pft I was just talking to Blake about this outside the van wait first Blake is there anything you'd like to say to me oh thanks for having me yep yeah that

Starting point is 02:32:42 know what yeah it is cold and I've gone suit and beanie it's it's a dope you know yeah but you can still say I had to walk over I had to walk over yeah here's a quick suggestion top hat is it a fedora does you know top hat like top hat like top hat yeah could you imagine if you just go yamaha and he covered everything up through a top hat and a cane yeah maybe like a long cigarette just a dumb and dumber scene so what are you gonna do what's the plan you can't you can't go out with your hair well see the good thing like about not a lack there of hair is that you don't have to do it like I kind of just take my hat off and it's like here we go you know it's not like it's a secret right like I wear a hat for the benefit of other people because like I don't like looking at balding
Starting point is 02:33:27 heads so that's why I wear a hat because I don't want anybody else to have to look at my balding head that's why your man of the year is because yes that's a public service that right it's kind of just yeah a selflessness thing yeah no I'm serious the top hat would be amazing or like a peeky blind you steal the show yeah like I'll go to Nordic you'd steal the show yeah so congrats though on man of the year nominee uh where we're before we do our wikipedia we're gonna do a wikipedia that gets everyone ready for the Super Bowl where are you at uh I don't want to get two in the weeds but like are you with the jaguars are you have you had communication I don't know how to ask I know yeah I'm a friend and I don't just yeah just say like hey what's your situation there's not a
Starting point is 02:34:06 whole lot of communication going on okay um uh so I'm kind of just I go in and work out and rehab every day okay and then um so you still have your your access card right which that's kind of like how I know like so we have a code right you got a bunch of code in at the front gate and that's the first thing that goes when you get cut or fired okay so each morning I show up kind of like maybe today it keeps working so I'm like they're keeping me around so uh I thought if you woke up at like six in the morning to go out and it was closed yeah I know that happens because the possibility that happens yeah oh 100 oh right yeah steak egg and cheese bagel yeah right six hashbrowns yes so all right so we don't know what's gonna happen but you're gonna be playing football and you're
Starting point is 02:34:46 gonna be like we've always said a minor comeback for minor setback minor setback for major comeback do you have any big plans of soft season any vacations you're taking uh no I got another I'm not a big vacation guy like if I don't have to play football like I'm on vacation yeah that's yeah so it's kind of just uh okay let's actually reverse that so that like for any now hopefully everything works out in Jacksonville but if not let's say uh football is your vacation because you love it so much right right well yeah that's also a thing right yeah yeah like you love like it's not work like it's not what I love and then when I'm not doing it I'm on vacation right right but you're depressed because you don't do miss it yeah he missed it so much let's go say
Starting point is 02:35:29 some cities and you tell me what you think about these cities just hypothetical hypothetical okay we think about Miami like Miami yeah a big town good football town yeah culture down there place they got good fans yeah good scenery you realize that if you Washington DC go big fan nation's capital that's right yeah it is it's not the right if you go caps somehow went to Green Bay we would not be friends really well now I'm gonna rephrase because you hate Green Bay that much yeah we would be friends I would just hope that you would uh respect our friendship and be a mole for me in the Packers organization yeah I would like I'd let you know okay all right so then then we could say friendship they might not let me in meetings as the as the uh third
Starting point is 02:36:10 shrink tight end but I'd let you know I'd let you know anything I heard oh man all right Blake what's grip for you uh good grit me is um uh kind of more like an acronym oh getting raunchy in the trenches oh okay with two t's g r i t t yes but yeah just like the junction boys what about yeah what about getting raunchy in the tesla because we saw your new fancy California car yeah so Blake's driving a uh a electric car what's up with that tesla a tesla so the plan um was to buy a tesla so that I could quit dipping because then I wouldn't have to go to the gas station so now I just go to the gas station to buy dip that's a very like expensive way to quit dipping but more power to you yeah I actually thought you were joking when I first saw it I thought it
Starting point is 02:37:08 was like you were messing around like oh I'm in California I'm gonna run a tesla I also wanted to fit in but all I I like I have a pickup truck back in Jacksonville and I was like I don't really want to bring that out to California right so I figured I'd buy something where I could fit in so have you gone to the gas station do you wait do you how does it you just plug it in at home yeah and there's a charger at the facility so when you drive to to work to the Rams facility do you actually drive or do you just do auto no I let it just get on the highway and like you double click the thing twice and it just drives you all the way so you're just sitting there like scrolling through your phone yeah kind of check the news and see what's going on that's incredible
Starting point is 02:37:42 it beeps like every 60 seconds and you got to touch the wheel and then it just let you know you're alive yeah you can't take a nap or something like eat breakfast in your car on the way to work you can yeah that's pretty sweet tell them how you bought it that actually wait but hold on before you tell us how you bought it that actually seems like the perfect car to be able to dip it is perfect right you don't have to worry about your hands like where the bottle is there's no more like the bottle between yeah you ended up trying to pull one out while you're like mid-driving so right technically the yeah you should probably safer pick it up and very safe you ended up getting like a trip chamber just for dipping that's what the Tesla is they should market themselves like
Starting point is 02:38:20 that yeah put out a camo version of the car I think the vent massage a mossy oak tesla yeah the vent diagram of people who dip and people on tesla don't touch probably just play yeah just play portal standing there all right so hot tell us the story how you bought it so I well I needed like an SUV because I like I have a truck and like I wanted something like a Tahoe or you know something like that just to drive around and I was kind of looking at websites and then I ended up on the Tesla website and it was like you know design your own so I'm not gonna miss we'll see what I can do here and then I got to the last page and there was a buy now button and I was like well I got to hit this I got a call immediately like hey congratulations on your tesla purchase
Starting point is 02:39:08 so did you have to like enter a credit card number for the buy now button or it was just like on your honor I immediately called me it was just like I was sitting over the wiring instructions oh my god all right guess we got one there's no negotiation as far as the price goes no no there was none okay we now welcome on very special guest we're in his home his rented home in Long Island it's Brooks Kepka he is the us open 2017 2018 champion and also the pga champ return champion right so you're trying to defend your crown here this weekend at beth page black and I want to start with the most important question you have three majors you're very good looking you got muscles you got the whole fucking tan and everything what's your problem I got no
Starting point is 02:39:54 problem okay well well we got a problem maybe got one problem brandl okay yes we're guessing him brandl chanbley I figured that might come around yes but seriously like you need we're gonna start a whole rebrand of Brooks Kepka on this show you are too perfect so we need to figure out like give us your biggest weakness to start this off my biggest weakness reality tv that's not a weakness you watch the reality that's a big strength real housewives you're real housewives yeah yeah yeah I definitely watch it uh you got skinny recently I did that pissed off America that's that was really interesting going into the masters because people were mad at you that you lost weight I know there was get that there were not fast enough when everyone else is trying to everybody was just
Starting point is 02:40:35 like I wish Brooks would put on 30 pounds and get back to like his how many how much weight did you lose I was like 30 pounds what was the plan behind that I just wanted to look good that was it yeah you just want to look good yeah yeah well yeah yeah if you got a photo shoot you might as well look good so you actually lost power though in your drive right yeah and we're not golf guys but we'll ask a couple golf we'll sprinkle a couple golf is that bad to lose power on your drive I mean it's not good so I want to be long when you noticed it like were you like what's going on here I need to start eating again yeah well yeah once we got everything done squared away all the photo shoots done we uh I definitely ate like a champ I know that okay so you actually cheeseburgers
Starting point is 02:41:13 yeah pizza did you actually have photo shoots oh yeah so you lost weight yeah I wanted to look good yeah yeah I mean who doesn't want to look good did you stop working out after yes huh okay I was definitely working out before how much did you bench these days I don't know I haven't benched a long time it's been like six weeks really that's a really long time yeah that's a really long time it's great though I heard that you used to be able to put up 315 yeah I could how many times just once oh okay I also heard that you used to work out sometimes after rounds is that true yeah before or after you want isn't that weird though to like if you're lifting weights before you go out on the course doesn't that affect I feel like if I do three tricep extensions I can't
Starting point is 02:41:55 shoot a basketball for like a week afterwards I look better in the shirts though no you're in my medium your mediums they're very tight that's on my list as well uh so wait I want to go back because like golf is one of those sports that everyone always thinks like oh you know like the fat guys can play it's you know Phil Mickelson back in the day now it's completely different you guys train like you're in the NFL or like NBA we're not that big but you guys have had plenty of NFL guys there's no reason that but what's your regimen like in the offseason like are you training every single day yeah in the offseason yeah I mean you might as well what else are you gonna do I'm not playing golf I got better things to do oh how long do you go without playing golf in the
Starting point is 02:42:35 offseason I'll go six weeks that's really yeah when you get back out on the course after six weeks do you notice like a major major difference in how you're playing yeah I'm really do you give yourself that break like more mentally just so you can get away I'd rather be on the boat drinking that's all hanging out doing what everybody else is doing you know that like everybody else they do the exact opposite where they go out to play golf to get away from stuff yeah and that's their mental break yeah exactly you're not helping the whole like you're too perfect narrative that you got going yeah so you're getting ready for for opening round on Thursday Wednesday night what is your do you have a pattern that you do do you have I just try to be in bed by like 1030 but
Starting point is 02:43:14 other than that I got nothing hmm yeah it's just whatever whatever I'm trying to find something what would you say uh that we could make fun of you most easily for besides the reality tv thing the thong photo yes the oh yeah that was a good one yeah yeah i was trying so hard to be an instagram model just backfired so bad what about your your logo sucks sorry i'm getting a new one yeah okay there you go good yeah see there we go we found something i saw it i was like what's this it's just a b yeah and like what you gotta yeah yeah i got a new one coming so what's a new look like i'll show you later yeah show them show me one right now you have it i don't have it on me now i don't have my phone nobody all right so you fixed the one thing that i could i could say yeah
Starting point is 02:43:57 we're getting we're getting a little better you have a you have a very south african sounding i know i want to hear i want to hear you say it one time it's so satisfying to say brooks keep care yeah it's very cool i know i've heard it a thousand times i just want to hear in person there will be you should be south african there will be people who listen to this interview and be like wait what yeah he's not yeah that's a lot of people no it's south african a lot of people they were telling me that uh during the masters when when they were doing you know like a behind the scenes thing with you or they were discussing you uh they were shocked and they lost bets with their friends because they were hanging out they're like no he's from south africa no he's not he's
Starting point is 02:44:31 literally yeah it's actually funny yeah brooks kipka say it one time brooks kipka yeah it rolls up all right let's do fixing golf so why do you think golf like what do you think golf needs to improve on to get better like in terms of your outfit for five and a half hours i mean how bad is that nobody wants to spend five and a half hours out there yeah i mean unless you're like getting away from your wife or like trying to get away right you know that'd be great but other than that so how do you speed up the game literally i would just make it like 15 holes 14 holes i like that a lot i like that because like because then you get to go in the 19th hole a little bit quicker yes and i always get to like 11 and i'm like this is it gets boring from like hole five to 12 you're
Starting point is 02:45:15 just like where am i right now you are bored during a tournament yeah five through 12 yeah i literally can't tell you what like what happened during those holes you kind of like black out you're like oh yes everything's repetitive it's it's true though because when you golf there is like the first three holes where you're like okay i feel good today and then like right around 14 you're like all right i got a few left yeah exactly and then anything in between it's just whatever can i get a hot dog after nine exactly you're just looking everybody getting drunk what about using a cart who i'd love to use a cart how great would that be that'd be sick having people driving cars daily's using a cart this way you see that awesome is that yeah that is pretty he's just he's just
Starting point is 02:45:51 commandeered the beer cart yeah yeah just kick the girl out so what can they do to make him better for the audience like what because you did what was your exact quote that golf is not fun enough or be golf fun yeah golf sucks yeah according to me yeah yeah real question about your swing i read that book on tiger and it seemed like every like few years you just completely remake its swing yeah go from scratch have you done that no so you just do i literally have two swing thoughts and that's it i just hit it and go that's the thoughts yeah hit it and go yeah literally just keep it short and swing it hard i think that's it i think what we found is we found the Blake Bortles of golf yeah like it's no that's it's imp you're you are a guy a normal guy who plays golf
Starting point is 02:46:37 really really well yeah Blake is a normal guy who's an exceptional quarterback yeah exactly you're right i like that i like that comparison so when you're when you're hitting a shot obviously you have different shots in your bag you hit a draw you had a fade right i'm guessing yeah so i mean i just try to stick to one because i know what i'm doing on one of them but yeah but when you get up there and you're like okay which one's better for you i fade it yeah i hit it left to right okay so you when you get up there and you're trying to fade it you just think hit and go or do you have to like tell yourself do you have to walk yourself through the process and think okay i have to aim there there's no thought process it's just like aim left and just swing hard and it'll come back to
Starting point is 02:47:14 wherever you want it your cat is just like aim at that thing and then you do that thing yeah i'll just be like finish it there okay i'll try i mean you're gonna one of two things is gonna happen to you again out there is not so right it's easy you're gonna be really good or bad right so i mean yeah i'm just starting because i feel like maybe we haven't interviewed enough golfers but they have like all these technical like oh this is what i'm trying to do on this shot but you're just like i'm just up there just asking what's the point of thinking of something else i think i figured you out i think you just you don't like golf very much and so you're always just like i want to get the fuck off this course so i'm just going to take i'm going to take a very few amount of strokes yeah
