On the bus we've been we've been rocking some interviews for the last five hours. 00:01:05 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been a classic Monday usually, so that's the day after the super Bowl. Usually this is when the boys have like good two week break, a nice little time to relax, de compress from the season. And then we had a guy come on that can only do it today because he goes out to do something else that we're not gonna say because this episode hasn't come out yet. 00:01:21 Speaker 1: And it is a banger. 00:01:22 Speaker 6: It is a banger. We did a recap that came out yesterday that you guys were watching with Clay Matthews and Delaney Walker Banger. Yeah, so it's been a good, solid day of Bus with the Boys.

Curling matches that start slow and somehow get tense, fast speedskating decided by inches, hockey games that feel different from the opening face off, and so much more. That's why betting the Winter Games on FanDuel makes sense. From game lines to metal counts to finding your angle on the events you care about most, FanDuel gives you more ways to stay connected to the action. The Winter Games are on, and there's no better way to follow them than what they on FanDuel. Fandel Play your game, Play your game. 00:03:04 Speaker 6: Winter Games, Winter Games.

Yeah, and I got cooking in the house right now. Boys, I got the Plunge. No free shoutouts to Plunge. Yep. When I was putting it together, Charle was out of dinner, So it's just kind of I put Scottie down already. For whatever reason, I was obsessed with just getting this thing all the way downe and uh started ripping it, plugged it in, hit the little button. It starts going, and I'm kind of looking behind making sure all the all the hoses are intact and everything else. And then all of a sudden's like talking about dad. You know, there's some water, and I look up and she's kind of got that little cleaner net where she's getting something. I'm yeah, swait, heart stop, you know, don't be splashing too much, and she's like, no, dead water, and it's like starting to flood the room. They're starting to get out. It's leaking almost to the door, and so I panic. I rip out the court and everything else, and I go and get like six towels. I'm damping everything down. Rue, she goes and gets her rain boots on. She's like, I can't touch the water. She runs in and puts rain boots on them. Hey, don't jump and splash in the water. And uh, yeah, I was in a little bit of a panic because I'm thinking I got this. I got this plunge. It's filled all the way up with water. It's inside yep. So if there's a leak and I have no clue where it's coming from, like, what am I gonna do? How am I gonna fix this? Fortunately, I watched a couple of YouTube videos and really I just had to like retighten the hose. But I thought I was like intact, but it, dude, it started to like get all over the floor and everything else. But that little hot cold combo I got rocking, dude, it is a dream. 00:09:41 Speaker 6: Talks to about. Oh the sauna, Okay, I don't know if your cold tub went hot and cold in my asses? 00:09:44 Speaker 1: It does. Crazy. The little chiller, yeah, it got this new this newer chiller that's with it, and it can heat up to like one hundred degrees. 00:09:51 Speaker 6: A little no hot tub too. 00:09:53 Speaker 1: It can if you want to turn it into a hot tub. Now we get the hot tub going outside right now? 00:09:58 Speaker 6: Yeah, boy got an off right now. Huh man, My boy Willie moved into his house. He spent about three days there. He's been there for two weeks. You're about to head off the vacation too. 00:10:08 Speaker 1: I know. I was sitting there last week in San Francisco. Low key, kind of just missing the house. I just want to go back to the house and just kick. 00:10:15 Speaker 6: It, sit around, go sit in different seats because you haven't been there yet. 00:10:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got a goon. I haven't gooned yet. 00:10:22 Speaker 6: It's gonna be mid March and Will's gonna walk up the chart and be like, man, how dope is this house? Would be like, we've been here for four months? What are you talking about? But yeah, nothing like dude, clean take moving into a new spot? 00:10:37 Speaker 4: You why do you think I do it? 00:10:39 Speaker 1: So? 00:10:39 Speaker 6: Yeah, I met you knows eating a new spot every three months. Gota moving around a little bit. 00:10:44 Speaker 1: I might have a spot open for you there. 00:10:45 Speaker 4: Trying to move in will spot? 00:10:47 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, trying to move to Post Road. 00:10:49 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I can't afford that. 00:10:51 Speaker 6: Oh sorry, yeah, sorry. 00:10:54 Speaker 1: There. 00:10:56 Speaker 6: We got a handful of them things in Nashville. Huh, there's a couple did we uh after our Super Bowl? So Tuesday, Tailor hits me up and she said, Hey, are you going to Vegas for after like Saturday Saturday night? I was like, wow, I wasn't planning. I was playing, coming home and spending time with the family. She's like, you're already out there. You might as well just go out for like a one night and just see if you can get something done. So right after we did the form energy thing, which, by the way, I want to put this on everybody's radar. Doing that form energy thing and seeing all of those individuals get after and the heart rate monitors and the Polar No shout out to Polar, but they had a whole bunch of stuff going on. I think it would be sick if they do that again next year. If Bustin did it for sure, and it's like a forty five to fifty minute workout and it's all about your heart rate, I think it'd be awesome if Bustin had our own little team and we just did it for the love of the game. Put that in the back of your heads. I know a lot that I just put that on you guys, but just put that in the back of your head. So anyway, we finished that, We rip over the airport, have some airport sushi, hang out a little bit, and go to Vegas and boys, we banked their ass in one night. Fruitful, fruitful, fruitful, snipe them, stated Caesar's for the first time. Shout out nikky boy from Caesar's. Uh got him there. I sniped a little a little peace on them real quick. Hit up Dana, Hey, where's the move tonight? He goes meet me at Red Rock home base. Get the Red Rock. They're all sad at me.

She's pretty, by the way, and beat their ass too. Had us is a nice little deal. 00:12:27 Speaker 1: Dang, so is Red Rock. They're going down. They're going down, and. 00:12:31 Speaker 6: Not no no, no, no, no no. 00:12:33 Speaker 1: I love it. 00:12:33 Speaker 6: Red Rock will always be home. But I'm married to one woman. Her name is Taylor. All right, as far as my casinos go, Like, I love Red Rock, That'll always be home. But I am okay, But I can venture around a little bit. Yeah, it's a vacation. Yeah, I'm gonna venture a little bit. You're in the strip. It's a little bit different, a little bit of a little bit of a vibe. I had like a wyoming king bed. It's crazy. I rolled around that thing. I did three rotations before I man to the other side. Yeah, it's a big boy. It's a big boy. So it was a nice little setup. 00:13:03 Speaker 1: Is Uh do we know Form's gonna do it? I don't. 00:13:07 Speaker 6: I don't know, because well, the way the former thing worked at worked was we obviously got up in the morning, ripped over late night too.

We're all just loving our head back in the corner, having fun talking to a bunch of who's who in the zoo and uh So we had a late night there, get back to the hotel, had what like five hours of sleep maybe and go to this Form thing. Chandler's there, sal Fasela's there. Me and sal get up. 00:13:45 Speaker 4: We start talking. 00:13:45 Speaker 6: We're on this like little bridge. We talked for a little bit. 00:13:47 Speaker 1: Go down. 00:13:48 Speaker 6: Disco Lines is there? Who he like walks like, we're sitting in the back. We're about to go on. He goes up, he goes, hey, you put for the Titans. It's like, yeah, his boy is like a Titans fan. So we start chopping it up a little bit. Clump facetimes Matt Malone because apparently Matt Willon's a huge Disco Lines fan. They look alike, we put a couple of posts up. Disco Lines is commenting, like kind of a bro. Disco Lines is kind of a bro. 00:14:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, all of us were just kind of we were just kind of watching all I just looked around all of us banging. 00:14:18 Speaker 1: Yeah the music. 00:14:19 Speaker 6: How did you get fucking move them?

But yeah, I do that, and then the whole event was essentially the most in shape people I've ever seen in my life getting after it while me and Sally and Mike just have microphones were like, ah, all right, Team Blue and it was just it was awesome. It was a great time. Cruise out of there about tenns before was over made our flights. 00:14:54 Speaker 8: Yeah, sure, quick question, is that literally the size of a Wyoming king size? 00:14:58 Speaker 6: Bet? I think it's like that. 00:15:00 Speaker 1: It was. 00:15:00 Speaker 6: I'll say this, I'm not sure if it was a Wyoming king Alaskan king how those things work. It was way bigger than a king size or a California king. 00:15:07 Speaker 1: Way bigger. Like my feet. 00:15:09 Speaker 6: I had like this much room with the feet, which I've never had in my life. I mean there was you know, there's like sets of pillows and like usually a king has like two sets of pillows with maybe a little space in the middle. Ye, three long sets of pillows across. Its very cool, man. No, not in my house. You mean you've been to my house? Have you been in my master bedroom? When we build in the house, it was like, let's build a smaller master bedroom with the thought process of you don't you sleep in there. You don't want it to not really hang out. And then I go to this motherfucker's house right next to me. He's got a little sitting area. I'm like, I should have built a bigger master Man, because that's kind of nice. It's a little sitting area. Those a little fuzzy like you have, like what are those little fus like like a golden doodles for years? Man like you that's some cool Like it's just kind of sitting over there. Yeah, it's a nice sesthetic, a little fireplace behind it. Yeah. When I was like, oh my, and I'm walking around out to gas your house up more. But he's gotten a great little like, uh, you know what Porsche has that like forest green like that that's got like an iconic Porsche color they have like that with like golden accents. And I'm like kind of pointed all out, and char was like, oh, I wasn't familiar that you were like into into your design. She didn't know my background. 00:16:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, she didn't know that you had that in your bag. Yeah, Charles obsessed with those green colors. 00:16:26 Speaker 6: Yeah, and hey, I think it is the best accent color you can have in a house at this moment, right now. What's coming back, No, that's not it. What's coming back is we've kind of gone through a phase with houses like the contemporary. Look the whites and the blacks, and there's not a whole lot of color. And then recently they like home Alone, the Home Alone house just sold, it was remodeled and it's all white and black Moore Contemporary, and I feel like humans are getting back to like, let's have homes with some more character involved in it. And I feel like yours is the perfect blend between like a modern type of home with like, you know, your your earthiest, but you also have nice accents, which kind of just juices me up because yeah, they look at that, that's the house now. Kind of makes you sad, doesn't it. Yeah, you much to live in that top one right, that one down there that's an Airbnb. You scroll up, You're like, I'm at Grandma's house. Yeah, I feel good about that. Wallpaper is coming back, dude. Every piece of our house that has wallpaper, I always kind of feel warm and fuzzy on them around it. Yeah, my kids get some nice wallpaper. Shit, you guys are kind of living. 00:17:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, you get wallpaper. We have wallpaper in like the bathrooms and stuff. Yeah, I'm just like, I mean, yeah, that's what you want. 00:17:33 Speaker 6: Clean take a wallpaper bathrooms, funky wallpaper bathrooms hit hard, they clean tas clean. Take yes, yeah, thank you, thank you. Also the homeless in San Francisco. 00:17:46 Speaker 1: If you could switch anything for you can look at it the next year Super Bowl. What's a change you would. 00:17:54 Speaker 6: Like to see two teams that are the same one? 00:17:56 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I'll talk about our week most of the boys week. 00:18:00 Speaker 6: Can I say the thing that was put on game at us on a street? If I could change one thing about our super Bowl week from here on out, it would be that this bus is at Radio Row, that our bus is either in the building or on the side of the building. 00:18:15 Speaker 1: But like maybe like one of the just popular areas where we were seeing a bunch of guys. 00:18:18 Speaker 6: Right, like you have a stage and maybe it's like dressed like the bus, but like having a bus with the boys set up there on the outskirts. We gotta do that next year, agreed, the amount of people that run through and like our shows will look different for sure for those next five weeks. But like you're able to get like a miles Garrett and Justin Jefferson and who like all these like big time guys walking through hit like twenty minutes with each of them. One episode is like three of those guys. That would be awesome even if we like go live for five minutes. 00:18:47 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the one thing I think about, is is there a spot where we could go in a day or two later? 00:18:54 Speaker 6: Yeah, go on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 00:18:56 Speaker 1: Right, because a Saturday it does make sense. But by the time I hit basically Thursday, I'm just itching to get home. 00:19:03 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you. 00:19:04 Speaker 1: Where we push it back a day, just have a little bit more fuel in the tank. By the end of the week, I feel like we had good fuel the entire time. 00:19:11 Speaker 6: Well, Sunny Dee was alive and well a few times, but yeah, for the most part of the actual juice itself was good boys. Re Vibeman think I think if I could change another thing too, it's decision fatigue. Like when we're a handful of times were trying to figure out where to eat. I'm I'm looking at the group chat and I'm obviously like I'm saying, we need to be better. I'm guilty of this. I didn't say shit in the group chat. I'm thinking I'll just go eat on the eighth floor again. I really don't give a fuck. 00:19:35 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that we need to coin somebody in the group outside of clump that is the dinner person. 00:19:41 Speaker 6: The dinner person exactly. 00:19:42 Speaker 1: They pick it. 00:19:43 Speaker 6: Every night. We have a standing resie somewhere and it's dialed because we hit a couple of good spots. But when we're sitting there, we had to leave an hour for FanDuel. But you know we're gonna go down by FanDuel or should we eat somewhere? We can't really eat somewhere anymore because now we're it takes some time to get around San Francisco. I think, man, grab a damn sandwich on eight on the eighth floor. 00:20:04 Speaker 1: Eighth floor was to the ritz. Yeah, clean, take your food on the eighth floor was great. 00:20:10 Speaker 6: Clean. 00:20:10 Speaker 2: Take Leo Leo from the rich shout Leo from the list. He just took care of us. He always made sure man did last day with the banana. 00:20:18 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, bro, dude, Leo Leo. He was a guy at the front desk. Whenever you get off the All Leader. We hooked him up some true classic. 00:20:26 Speaker 2: Well yeah, it was that three three hundred dollars class. He actually just texted me and said, when that goes live, let me know. 00:20:31 Speaker 1: He wants to show his family. That's awesome.

I see Burrow. I'm like, clump, go get Burrow on the podcast. 00:22:32 Speaker 1: How much juice as you be here? Body out on. 00:22:35 Speaker 6: The phone tail Like this motherfucker might be the most handsome cat ever. 00:22:37 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like this dude, he's got to swag the match. 00:22:40 Speaker 6: He got the hair fucking goes. 00:22:41 Speaker 4: He's got everything. 00:22:42 Speaker 6: You know, when you get ready, he got every everything. When you're putting intention into going out and you kind of get dressed up nice and you kind of look at your your hair and your hair looks really good, and then you go to a party and a photo is taking to view an hour later and your hair looks way fucked up and it's way different. Joe Burrow looks like you just got out of the bathroom from getting ready. The entire nights. It was the wildest thing. His hair didn't fucking move, but yeah, it looked wavy, didn't look restricted, but it was set right where it needed to be. It was beautiful to see, absolutely beautiful. So Clumb goes up to Joe Burrow, Hey, we wanna get you in the pod. Club walks back up to me. He goes, he ain't coming on the pod. 00:23:16 Speaker 1: Tell us what happened. 00:23:18 Speaker 2: I just walked up to him, like introduced myself, and then I kind of said, hey, we'd love to get you on Busting with the Boys, and he looks at me. He goes, I ain't coming on. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't do podcasts, so there ain't no way I'm coming on bus boys. And I was like, hey, man, all good, nice to meet you. I walked to Tailor. He's like, what do you say he ain't coming on the pot. 00:23:36 Speaker 6: Yeah, And then Taylor I walked over to him. I go, hey, I heard some terrible news. He's like, what are you telling him? I was like, I heard a bad thing about you just now, and he looks over at Club looks and he goes, man, it's not you guys. He like knew exactly what I say. But the way he Joe Burrow shut us down was in a way It's like incredibly refreshing. The way he Joe bead Yeah, the way he Joe beats methentic because he's like, yeah, hey, I don't like doing podcasts. If I did it, i'd probably be great, but I just don't. I just don't want to do podcasts. And I'm like, hey, it's all good. And then he started going, well, you know, if you catch me on the right day, and I was like, Joe, listen, if we're gonna be the guys that see each other once every year, we kind of wap up and walk past each other and we pretend to be boys, Like, let's let's not be liars to each other because I know, seriously, if you catch me on the right day, I'll go clump pops up. What about if we come in camp? He goes, if you guys come in camp, I'm definitely not fucking going. It's just like that, just like that pointer, I'm definitely not fucking And it's like, all right, when we become a OTAs and he like leans back, He's like, I could see myself coming on the show. Is bro, we come to you, We set up exactly where you want. You just walk in and we hit it for thirty minutes. He goes, got to catch me on the right day. I go, I kind of need more than that. I can't just show up in Cincinnati. He's like, well, I'm not gonna make a deal with you right now, and I was like, that's totally fair, but you will hear our names. 00:24:53 Speaker 1: We just carve out five days to go during ot right knowing which day it's gonna happen. 00:24:58 Speaker 6: That would be funny, fe five days in Cincinnati we got interviewed Joe Joe. I went from hey, Tayo, who's your white buffalo? Probably Vince Fond to Tayo, who's your white buffalo? It's Joe Burrow. 00:25:08 Speaker 1: Now, now you want it? 00:25:10 Speaker 6: He made me want it. Yeah, now I understand what all those girls are thinking. You know, I got somehow, Yeah, I gotta get him, you know, dog he is? What's he doing? 00:25:19 Speaker 1: Man? 00:25:20 Speaker 6: Oh? I make five hundred million dollars in him?

He probably doesn't sweat, does he? You're probably right fucking Joey B Man. Joe come on our show, dude. If you're a Cincinnati fan, please tell Joe to come on our show. That's the new White Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, it has to be. It has to be. What do we think for Joe b Just get out of here. Yeah, start the CMC podcast. 00:26:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we got bangers. We can say who we got in the roll decks not this one, not the one we did earlier today, but people saw photos. Yeah, landed Patrick Willis bang banger, banger if you're a San Francisco person tuning in right now. Patrick Willis was a. 00:26:21 Speaker 6: Banger with the special guest, especially Gus being Delaney Like will made a call ten minutes before the podcast started, was like, Yo, Willis is coming on. You guys are teammates, Like, I think he'd be more comfortable if you came. Delaney being who Delaney is is like, I'll be there. Drop the pin shows up before Patrick Willis and Patrick Willis was on time. Then you know we're getting around San Francisco. It's like, what are we doing, dude? Ten minutes not even keeps it hunting. 00:26:47 Speaker 1: Then we got Russell Wilson on banger Bo Jackson, we got to go ahead, keep going, fill the air banger. 00:26:54 Speaker 6: C M, isn't that thing? Who am I missing? I know he had one other person, that's right, and the one with we did Brave. So that podcast was absolutely incredible. Heartbroken for the boy and then the right we're just oh ship, Yeah yeah, we got a nice little lineup. We got all the boys on this bus who booked them all too, big time, working hard. Shout out clumpy boy for doing that. 00:27:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, nice work. And we got good validation and confirmation from Russell Wilson too, So glad I did. That was refreshing. It was a fun pod. It was you know, we we we've said a couple we've joked around about it. 00:27:33 Speaker 6: We've joked around about Russ. Yeah, yeah, we have, and is pretty hot. Russ was savvy too. I think it was like twenty minutes in he got our guards down. He says, I know you guys have talked a little shit on and I was like, oh, ship, so you do. 00:27:46 Speaker 2: Consume Russell Wilson looking at me and saying right before he left persistence is key was one of the greatest moments in my life. 00:27:54 Speaker 4: Man. 00:27:54 Speaker 6: I'm yeah, fuck that was because you were the guy that was kind of running everybody down, like sprinting. I think, uh was it deal Sanders Jr. Yes, Yeah, he kind of bought it. 00:28:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, I got body bagged. 00:28:04 Speaker 1: If you have to watch. 00:28:05 Speaker 6: Clum ran Away came back, He's like, yeah, it just. 00:28:10 Speaker 1: Kind of kept walking. He's kind of like looking over. Oh, it's it's tough. It's not worth. 00:28:14 Speaker 2: It's not worth trying to try. 00:28:15 Speaker 6: To just get will And I got bodied by one individual at the Pro Bowl too. I'll give you a hit. He scootered away from us pretty quickly. 00:28:23 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, Yeah, I'll just drop his name. 00:28:26 Speaker 6: Yeah, Mike with the boys. 00:28:29 Speaker 1: If you trying to get him a dab and he just wasn't at all like he admitting to the dab or giving. 00:28:34 Speaker 2: Much aten you gotta get him on the pod to talk about it. 00:28:37 Speaker 1: Oh, he ain't coming here the boys. 00:28:42 Speaker 6: I think that's the same as much as I want Joe Burrow. 00:28:46 Speaker 4: You know. 00:28:48 Speaker 2: Miles Garrett though, talk about Miles Garrett. 00:28:51 Speaker 6: He's a homie. 00:28:52 Speaker 2: He was a homie dropping the glasses. 00:28:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, Oh, you gotta do that pod in gray shorts. 00:28:57 Speaker 6: I have to you have to have to do it in gray shorts. 00:29:00 Speaker 1: Mendozo. 00:29:01 Speaker 6: Here's here's an issue. Does come on? Here's the problem. I think a lot of these athletes are hearing from their teams that Busting with the Boys wants them to come on. That is very because we checked a couple that said no to us and they're like, oh, I had no idea. It's like, oh you didn't. Yeah, you look at one and you don't know which one of their teammate it and then you see him going to do that. 00:29:20 Speaker 1: It's one of those things. It's so chaotic for Super Bowl week. So I understand if they don't hear that bus is booking them because they got teams, Like I'm sure they got brands they're working with. Those brands wanted to do certain interviews or go here or go there, so everybody else they kind of tell no, so it doesn't trickle to the player, which sucks in our world, YEP, because we're like, man, if we could just probably talk to this dude, I bet he'd come on. 00:29:42 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's that worked. Yeah, got that done. 00:29:45 Speaker 8: I feel like that happens more times, more times than not. When I did the booking for a very short period of time, but it was around the Super Bowl last. 00:29:53 Speaker 1: Year, and that ma is always crazy. Man. 00:29:56 Speaker 8: As soon as y'all DM them, they're like, yeah, I'm there, Oh my gosh, I. 00:30:01 Speaker 6: Know, but how do you get I guess yeah, that that's a new world that we kind of need to figure out, is like the booking standpoint, Like how do we go about getting that done a little more clean? 00:30:11 Speaker 1: It's really in those like I mean really the super Bowl, right, it's really just in the super Bowl. It's always our hardest issue. Stuff doesn't get booked up really until the week of because there's so many lists that come through the pipe, like here's a list we want on priority. Here, here's who we want to go out to. You never want to corner yourself in an interview you don't want to be in because somebody that we really wanted is now saying yes, and they. 00:30:31 Speaker 6: Could pop up like twenty four hours before, Like Russ wasn't booked until yeah, I know, before we did it. That was a true like clump persistence thing, Like before Russ was booked, I look at Clump and I go, hey, I think we need to re evaluate the way you approach guests. It's a lot, it's a lot. 00:30:48 Speaker 1: I know, there's an like, there's examples we're probably thinking of when when you're thinking that way. But also Russ, it's like I knew who he's into coming on whenever he saw us at the fans with parties, like, hey, I just want you to know, like we're trying to figure out figure out something. I was just trying not to put any price sure because again one benefit was that we were in the same hotel together. Yeah, so you can't help but pass each other. True, true, introduce yourself. But again we're not trying to play like. 00:31:10 Speaker 6: B two, right. But that's why you have Clump, That's why you got You need a guy like Clump to go and be that guy because we're not gonna be those guys. 00:31:16 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:31:17 Speaker 6: Because the one time I did put myself out there a little bit, like man, they get you on a bus and what's going on? They scared their ass away from me and it wasn't fun. It was that that wasn't a fun feeling for me. You know. AnyWho, we feel good about it. Boys, we got a couple a couple of pieces we got to hit. Huh oh damn, Wenna do goooner of the month the month about to take place right here. So obviously a massive year is taking place. But this month in general has been absolutely incredible. Let's see. Our gooner of the month for January is Jeremy Clump on the bus right now? Clump, do you feel. 00:32:03 Speaker 4: Uh? 00:32:04 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been been a fun month. I appreciate you, guys. I feel like this year in general was awesome. I'm glad football season's over because you know, you see like that finish line, but super excited for like even things like the Super Bowl, already having plans for new things. Super excited for this year again, some things in the works that it's gonna be a fun ass year. But love you guys, it's been fun fucking this is the best time I love. I had somewhat, I mean, being away from my wife and kids obviously sucked, but like, what a week that guy. It was so hard to come home and be like, hey, babe, I know it sucked, but I had a great fun time. It was so much fun hang with the boys. It's a great time. So yeah, I appreciate y'all, let's let's get more guests than twenty twenty six. 00:32:46 Speaker 6: That's a kid, Let's book more guests in twenty twenty six.

Special guest today on Busting with the Boys. Man individual has been through adversity. He's done everything in the in the league could possibly do. But more than anything, a guy that is for the boys, more than anyone could possibly say. After this week, there was rumors flying around everywhere Christian McCaffrey is not gonna do Busting with the Boys. What if he doesn't, what does that mean for the culture? Sure enough, it was all just a rumor. 00:35:11 Speaker 4: Mill rumors, rumors, it's fan talk, it's it's media talk. It's all the speculated stuff that makes the show fun to watch. But at the end of the day, in the back of my head, I knew the whole time, I'm showing up. 00:35:22 Speaker 1: Yea, they could put your limited participation all week long playing the game, which is gonna make the light of game. Yeah, you'll do whatever it is. 00:35:29 Speaker 4: Some Wednesday you might have something happened. Whatever it's it's it's gonna might affect Thursday Friday. It's not affecting Sunday. I'll be here with the boys in the chair. 00:35:37 Speaker 6: I like to I like to picture you just laying in your bed and just kind of scrolling and seeing Christan McCaffrey for the Boys, question mark, a bunch of things. People wondering. You just smaund yourself knowing small smirk. I'm about to shock the world smirk. 00:35:48 Speaker 1: People forget that CMC was like an OG without being an OG to us, Like he bought the merch on his own. Yes, because Ionidis was his teammate in Carolina, and I remember there. I think they were traveling to a game and they were on the plane and Matt snaps a photo. It's like CMC wanted me to send the scene. He's like rocking our hat. He was a boy before, he was a boy before. Yeah, before the relationship even started, right, he was a homie. 00:36:15 Speaker 6: And we've gone probably what a minute and a half into this podcast, and we have not even mentioned that this young man wouldn't comeback player of the. 00:36:22 Speaker 1: Year, Yeah, within twenty four hours ago. 00:36:27 Speaker 6: Dude. Was it was that surprising to you or did they kind of tell you before. 00:36:31 Speaker 4: Now it's surprising some people will tell you, like, hey, just be prepared in case it happens. 00:36:37 Speaker 1: But uh, that way you can work on a speech. 00:36:39 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you can work on a speech. I I worked on it. I didn't say I had a lot I wanted to say, but they give you minimal time, so I don't know. But it was, Uh, it was cool, huge honor. 00:36:48 Speaker 1: Definitely when when they're telling you to like get prepared and you're kind of thinking of a feach, do you have like nerves or anxiety thinking about, oh shit, I'm gonna walk up there, like you want some maybe I want some stuff of substance, Like do I want to hit him with a joke? Yeah, like a little bit of anxiety of like I'm about to go up there in front of you. 00:37:03 Speaker 4: It's it's something, it's you know, yeah. I think I always played close to the chest with with with that, you know, give you get your thank yous out. But it is a cool honor too. I mean it really is. So you know, you want to be genuine and meaningful and I think, uh, I had a few jokes lined up, and then I looked at some of the past winners and they made the jokes, and I'm like, I can't be recycling jokes every other year, you get you know what I mean? 00:37:28 Speaker 1: Now? 00:37:28 Speaker 4: So I just I stayed away from the jokes. 00:37:31 Speaker 1: Smart man. Yeah, focus on the wife. Shout at the family. 00:37:34 Speaker 4: Shout out the wife, shout out the family. Mentioned the daughter clip it so that she can go back when she's older. Maybe she's got Instagram. It's my birthday she throws that up. 00:37:44 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not going to understand this now. 00:37:48 Speaker 4: It wasn't for It wasn't it was. This was for me in fifteen years. Yeah, that's what that was for. 00:37:53 Speaker 6: Everyone's gonna think, how what a good dad? Incredible in your head that to happen. Have you had a chase like reflect on because I remember last year we were talking about all this stuff going on. Was it public what you had? Because I don't say anything right now that yeah, it wasn't public. 00:38:11 Speaker 4: But I kind of went yeah, I went through the ringer. Yes, year it was sure. I had a lot going on. I kind of get you know. I gave my trainers a real big project and I was like, hey, look here's what's going on. Can you get me back? And uh, you know, had it was all day every day. You know, when I when I think about this season, I think mostly about January first until training camp because that felt just so it was just just so challenging, you know, in all ways. 00:38:38 Speaker 1: So are we talking about the calf? 00:38:41 Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, the injury last year, the injury last year, all that stuff you go through. I don't know if it's public if and he's like, yeah, that like. 00:38:50 Speaker 4: There was a bunch of stuff. Yeah. I was like, he's talking, My brain's trying to work. No, it's just there was one thing after the other that I just you know, had to deal with and it was one of those things where, uh it felt like you just couldn't catch a break. And then you know, when the season ended, it's like, obviously people tell you to take a break all that stuff, but I was addressing so many things and it was like, look, you really don't have time, like if you want to come back, like I didn't want to miss OTAs. I wanted to come back for OTAs, like ready to go, but I could hard. You know, I got to the point where I could train, like train and healthily probably like a week before OTA. So it was rehab, rehab, rehabit. Then you go to OTAs and you're still rehabbing, right, but you're going through the practice and you're managing and and then camp there's only or the summer before camp, there's only so much time. So uh, it was a long, grueling process. But one of the cool things I got to do with my brother Luke, so he trained with me all all off season. I swear that kept me going. Man, it was so fun to train with my brother. I've gotten to play with my other two brothers, but I haven't. I've never played with him, and then but being able to train with him this year was I mean, can't even tell you how awesome it was. Just having a training partner, somebody to push you that obviously is your brother, and you know, some days when you're alone and you're hurting, it's like, man, I don't know if I can make today. And then you see him running and you're like, it's that mental competitiveness that continued to like push me throughout so much of these training sessions that I really think played a big role. How old are you know, twenty nine, twenty nine, he's old, so. 00:40:25 Speaker 1: When but when these injuries, yeah, when these injuries happen, how frustrating. Is it for you? Because when they were kind of piling up and popping up last year, it's almost like universally like, okay, he's getting a little bit older, white running back is are we seeing? That's that's what the age. 00:40:44 Speaker 6: You know, what it has to do with? Come on, like, you're not supposed to. 00:40:46 Speaker 4: Be here, man, I'm not supposed to be here. 00:40:49 Speaker 6: Yeah, right, yeah, you're not supposed to be here. 00:40:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that like goes into. 00:40:54 Speaker 4: But I mean in nine years later, it's like it can't be I'm not Yeah, but no, I know you're right though. 00:40:59 Speaker 6: People won't say the time. 00:41:02 Speaker 4: You're getting older, you've had some injuries, you're white. What's contextually? That part didn't make sense. 00:41:12 Speaker 1: Especially I think I think it was number two on my list. 00:41:19 Speaker 4: Let me think of all the stuff you had to go through last year. 00:41:22 Speaker 6: Mindset. That's the exact mindset a white running back needs to have to He doesn't realize how big of a deal it is. All right, So a dangerous species never know. 00:41:35 Speaker 4: They're danger man, like the snow leopard. What were you asked? 00:41:43 Speaker 1: If she knows? I was feeling less? I'm like, oh, the whiteness has got you up. 00:41:51 Speaker 5: But the mortality of a car up to us point to get you, it's inevitable. 00:42:02 Speaker 4: Did you feel this year? 00:42:10 Speaker 1: Oh god, I'm starting to swear, my guts hurting. But this then's your question? Is your question the mortality of like yo, this could be the beginning of the end for Christian McCaffrey. 00:42:26 Speaker 6: You know, there's a handful of black running backs are like, good, good, Yeah, we told you, we told you this wasn't gonna. 00:42:32 Speaker 4: Last forever, just waiting. 00:42:34 Speaker 1: Yeah, but even as a player, like no one even from the front office of where people that brought you in, Like, I wonder if they're thinking, my mortality is coming to life now? 00:42:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we can wipe the last We just still. 00:42:45 Speaker 6: Thinking about Trent Williams sitting there. 00:42:46 Speaker 4: But I told you all, no, yeah, I think Look, especially when you're going through a rehab process, it really doesn't matter if it's you're in year nine or in year four. Like I had similar thought, you know when I was because I had a tough injury year in Carolina a couple a year and a half really and all those same thoughts come back, you know, whether you're older or not. And so I think part or whiter, you know. 00:43:13 Speaker 1: You know. 00:43:17 Speaker 4: Now, I always felt like, uh if I could just show up every day and see what happens. And I think being having to go through that stuff beforehand definitely taught me a lot because it showed me that it is possible, and that all the noise you'll have to listen to and those thoughts in your head, those don't have to be true. And so I tried to just as as much as possible, even if even though it was so difficult, I tried to just lock in and show up every day and train my ass off and rehab as hard as I could and just see what would happen. I think, I think that's the only way to do it. It's the only way to be sustainable mentally and emotionally through the off season. Otherwise you're just gonna ride this roller coaster of emotions where you're listening to everything and you know, even yourself, Yeah, there's doubts, you know, there's doubts. There's a lot of uncertainty, like am I even gonna be healthy for this next like you know, there's all those things come into play, But you just show up every day, man, and eventually you start to feel good, and you're like, Okay, I'm back, I can do this. 00:44:18 Speaker 6: When did it start to click during the off season You're like, Okay, I'm gonna be that mindset of Okay, I'm back, I can do this. 00:44:24 Speaker 4: I think in the summer when I was training, like after OTAs, there's just one day where you're running routes and you're like, all right, I feel like me again. Yeah, I feel like me again. Like, don't get me wrong, Like, would I rather a full off season? Yeah, Like again, there's only so much time to train. So I'm excited I came out healthy this year because now I can you know, I'm gonna be months ahead of where I was last year, and if I do it right, I think there can be massive advantages to that. So you know, I'm excited ending this season. Hurt and having to go through all that stuff is uh, you know, it just prolongs, you know, getting to your peak. You know That's why I felt like this year, I I tough threw a lot, but now that I'm healthy, I'm excited for the offseason. 00:45:07 Speaker 6: I was surprised, are you that you were healthy? Because literally no one on your team was healthy at one point and it was like, all right, give Christian the ball in fifty different ways for this game, like the Rams game or was it Rams Seattle that you just had like fifty Fantasy points were sitting there streaming the game. It was a Thursday night game, and everyone's hurt. I think Kittle had a groin at that point. I think Trent was out. Fred Warner just got hurt. Nick was out, like every like casual fan who can name a player on the forty nine ers was essentially hurt and done for the season. And it was just you and you just became the bell cow for the entire year. 00:45:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that again, I think that's some of the stuff you read, but I don't. I never saw it as it was just me at all. You know, like Mac Jones bald his ass off. We had we had backups come in here, you know, off the street, guys like Kendrick Bourne had one hundred and eighty four yards in that Thursday night game like that. That's it's not like, you know, you're not alone, right, some guy just had one hundred and eighty four yards. The Marcus Robinson's out there balling and he missed the first three weeks and he comes like all of these got Juwan Jennings is out there like you're not You're never alone, you know, I know, like there's there's your you know, the big guys and the big names that you think that you think of when you think of starting, you know, starters in the NFL. But I think that was one of the coolest parts about this team this year was how unbelievable the depth was and the rookies. We had guys come in who made serious noise that have never played in meaningful games. And you could see the standard that the guys like George, the guys like Fred, you know, the guys like Brock and all these guys have set for so long. You could see it trickle down into the you know, the younger guys and the second string guys to where you know, you can't replace guys like that. You know, it's a team effort to replace guys like that when they get hurt. But that's why it was so fun to be a part of. You know, I never felt like, oh man, that wasn't the case for me, because I watch the tape and I could see you got guys out here balling, you know and selling out so that was made it fun. 00:47:06 Speaker 1: Wasn't and wild to just all the injuries that were taking places. Like at the end of the year, you guys bring in Eric Hendricks, who guys were playing a few snaps, to where he's basically starting the entire games, either the last game of the season or the playoff game. It was nuts to kind of see because you guys were like the team. The NFC West was the best division in football this year. You guys, would you guys record end up at the end of the regular season twelve? Yeah, twelve and five. But just knowing that you guys were always the team that's like they're not talked about or at some point it's going to catch up to him because they're winning games. But you weren't talked about like Seattle. You weren't talked about like the Rams. All these other teams were playing well or playing at a high level. What was it like just kind of each week it felt like a different team was on the field. 00:47:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, again, I think that was the coolest part because it's not like we didn't know all that noise was going on, right, I mean, I think and we had a lot of young guys too, and so that can be tough as a young player coming in having to hear all that for the first time in your career and block it out and just ball and show up to work every day in practice. And they really did that. Man. I've found so much inspiration from a lot of our backups and younger guys this year, more than I'd say I ever have, because normally you guys have been a part of teams you lose all those guys like it's easy to hang and hang it up and be like, you know, maybe I can have some good individual stats or whatever and see what happens and next you know, that was never the case. 00:48:28 Speaker 1: Man. 00:48:29 Speaker 4: I think that's a huge testament too, to the staff and getting guys right all the position coaches. Kyle's unbelievable in on my opinion, he's the coach of the year and what he did with our team this year, not just not just you know, the scheme and all that stuff, but the way he gets these guys to play from day one. There's a very high standard. And you know, again obviously didn't end the way we wanted, but it was a team I'll always remember. 00:48:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, So you don't think Rape should have won Coach of the Year. 00:48:55 Speaker 4: No, I think he's equally deservant, But I are that. I think, you know, when you look at I just Kyle's my guide. I mean, that's that's somebody you know, obviously traded for me, believes in me, gives me the rock. I think he's the best football mind I've ever been a part or been around. But I also think when you look at the adversity that our team had to face this year, and there's a lot of coaches that I don't know if they win twelve games and go to the playoffs and win a playoff game and have you know, serious shot at a run, so with a week fourteen by you know, all that stuff, all that stuff is it's not nothing, right, It's not everything, but it's not nothing in ut he just did a help. He did a hell of a job with all that stuff. 00:49:39 Speaker 1: Yeah, did it is. 00:49:40 Speaker 6: It's a phenomenal argument for Shanahan to win it because when you're losing this talent on the field, you'ren't just losing that, but you're losing like the leadership in those meetia rooms as well. And for Shannahan to have like to scheme up these plays with these guys like rookies and guys who people don't really know very much, like scheming them open. Mac Jones comes in. He was at the Patriots don't really believed in him. He was kind of like in that, you know, we'll see how the forty nine ers are dead. And then he balls out to the point where he's at the press conference and people are saying, hey, when rock Perty comes back, do you think you should be the starter? Basically, and he handles that incredibly. It just seems like every year that goes by, even though you guys still have the cell phone tower and you guys get injured all the time, you guys just are a rock as far as the locker room goes, like everybody that goes in there like they like the forty nine ers don't become the player. The player becomes the forty nine ers, Like the culture stands no matter what who's on the field, which is just badass. 00:50:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's well said, how's the dynamic? 00:50:32 Speaker 1: How is the dynamic being around? When Max's bonne like that team's having fun. You know, everything's all good inside the locker room, but seeing it unfold, Mack had an unbelievable answer when somebody asked him directly about it on handling, whether his role with the team and everything else. But from your vantage point, how was that dynamic being around it when the noise was at its loudest. 00:50:51 Speaker 4: Uh, it was as good as you could imagine, like legitimate love for each other, legitimate love for football, respect between in the entire room, and you know, as far as outside of the quarterback room. You know, I think it was just this this great understanding that dude, I don't care who's in the game, what game, or who we're playing. We all have our own individual jobs to do, and just it was a good obsession over our individual jobs. Whoever's at quarterback macrobrock be in the right spot so he can hit you, you know what I mean, like don't don't again. It was just the blocking out of the noise that I think was a sign of a good culture and a mature team. 00:51:32 Speaker 6: With all the injuries that took place, the one that looked like was like the most devastating to the boys was George Kittle and the achilles and everything like that. What was like, we've all been on the field. When guys get hurt, there's like a serious injury that takes place, and there's kind of like a moment of pause, like three four plays go by, and everyone's like kind of looking behind their shoulder a little bit, making sure they're good. But with George, just because he loves football so much in like such a pure way, it feel like it felt like way different than anybody than anybody else as far as his leadership, the way he is a leader on the team and plays and all that. 00:52:07 Speaker 1: When you when you put Georgia, yeah, I don't know, I don't There wasn't one that was more devastating than the other. 00:52:16 Speaker 4: And we lost Bosa pretty early. We lost George week one. Uh, we lost Brock after week one, and and then we lost Fred I think three weeks later lost Bosa. I don't, I forget what week early. Ricky dealt with some struggles. There wasn't one more devastating than the other, you know, anytime, And I think it's because we've all been through it before. When when you can't play, man, it's it's grueling, you know, it's it sucks. It really does happen. To watch your team play football is a pretty miserable experience, especially when you love football as much as all those guys I just mentioned to and I've been there. Man, it's it sucks. You don't feel like you're a part of the team. You kind of just feel like an outsider watching. And uh, it was so cool to see the leadership from George when he wasn't playing, the leadership from Fredman wasn't playing. How they were still active in the locker room, still active in meetings, still had so much hope there. You know, all the feeling of the outside of like, oh, I'm so sorry, Like nobody felt like that. 00:53:16 Speaker 6: You know. 00:53:17 Speaker 4: You you talk to George about his injuries, and you know, oh, I'm fine, I'll be just fine. You know, he's as upbeat as anybody. I'll be just I'll be back and sit whatever it is, six weeks, I'll be fine, be ready to go, even his achilles stuff, Yeah, I'll be ready week one. Yeah, he's like dialed in and happy and you're like, oh, and now we have hope. But I think if you if you have leaders like that and they do it the other way where it's depressing and it's a you know, even that mentality, as hard as it probably is for them to put a smile on in a lot of moments. They do it, and I think they do it so that we don't see how sad they are and we continue to have hope that, hey, we can still do this. And there's you know, Fred's coaching up the other guys, Bosa's helping Mike Kel out. Then we lose Mike kel which was a huge, huge shot, but that room is still playing hard. So it's you know, as much as it sucked, it was a great reminder for me of the fundamentals of football. Will always win games and that's a good culture, you know, blocking and tackling, playing as hard as you can and practicing as hard as you can and selling out. 00:54:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, George said, his wife's mad at us, why because we did the whole Well, would you do anything for We're talking about super Bowl? And I was like, would you go on IR and like week last week of the season if it meant the Teak win the super Bowl? And he was like yes, And I'm like, I don't know why she's mad at me. The football guys obviously didn't deliver. Yeah, they're out of the bargain, but he should be a clip. I'm like, I was like, I just put left out loud what I what I do, and he sent the clip. He's like, yeah, you guys are on her ship list. Like that's fair. But if I could pass the blame, I put that on the football gods. 00:54:52 Speaker 6: Yeah, we plus shouldn't have asked the question. I think we could. That's where we could kind. 00:54:56 Speaker 1: Of fall back. Would you would you take a season ending? 00:54:58 Speaker 4: No, it's a bad question. 00:55:00 Speaker 6: It's a bad question. Yeah, Yeah, we're not gonna We're not gonna ask that. We're not gonna ask that question. 00:55:06 Speaker 1: Don't blame the gods. That's on us. 00:55:09 Speaker 6: That's on us, And we'll take full responsibility for George Kittle's injury this year. 00:55:14 Speaker 1: God Claire, we are sorry. We are we are sorry. That's so, what was your first Welcome to the NFL? 00:55:25 Speaker 5: All right? 00:55:26 Speaker 6: We ended up this episode to bring you Form Energy Form Energy delivers best in class taste with natural flavor and zero sugar.

Forward slash busting, look good, feel good, play good. Let's get back to the episode. 00:56:21 Speaker 1: Hey, let's let's let's just let's just ask power station. Let's let's let's pretend the cameras are off. Let's be in the locker room, game me up. 00:56:33 Speaker 4: On the EMA where it's like son, once you start, there's no going back. 00:56:36 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you've been in the locker rooms, we all know whether whatever whatever. When you find anything that can allow you to be one percent better, any edge, anything that can bring you down, anything you want it out of, out of your life. So as this stuff is blowing up, I'm like, surely there's got to be something to this, and there's just no way knowing the rabbit hole that we go down in the off season to eliminate. You know, you're getting the jokes. So you turn off the Wi Fi? Are you going? I guess cut the router, cut the wires, or you don't want any any Wi Fi around you? Why you sleep, which, by the. 00:57:10 Speaker 6: Way, is a heady play. That's a heady play. 00:57:12 Speaker 1: Where the necklace. 00:57:13 Speaker 4: I don't want to be. 00:57:16 Speaker 6: Yes, But if it's becoming news to the public, you know, the boys are in the locker room like sitting there being like, hey, I thought I felt my Hams drinking a little tighter when I signed here last year. 00:57:26 Speaker 1: The minute they get off the practice field, there might be grounding mats all over the locker room. They're like, all right, get on this immediate, have to need to But knowing, like understanding that that that that game within the game within the game from a player side, like what are the thoughts in the power station? 00:57:42 Speaker 4: Here's the deal. There's too many variables to say that like this power station is what's causing an injury. There's too many variables. Listen at the same way as you know, not drinking water is bad for you, right, so you're gonna drink water. But when we we have our phones attached to us all the time, right, that's also bad for you? Do people? 00:58:04 Speaker 1: You know? 00:58:04 Speaker 4: Is that? Is that? What it is? Is? It? Is it? Maybe you didn't get enough sleep, maybe you took a wrong hit. Now you're compensating. You didn't feel it, but now you're Fred got rolled up on. It's it's not like a you know, what are you gonna do? That's that's just that's brutal. There's and in my opinion, right like I look at everything as something like the lights in this room, that light right there, is that dehydrating in a weird way. 00:58:27 Speaker 1: I don't know. 00:58:28 Speaker 4: I don't know, but maybe it is. And so for me, I, like you mentioned I turned the Wi Fi off. I don't always do that. I mentioned it to Fred a couple of times and he went out and telling the world that I've turned my Wi Fi off? 00:58:39 Speaker 1: And then what turn the Wi Fi off? Like just turn it off on your phone. Are you going to the shutting it down? 00:58:46 Speaker 4: Here's again, I'm not a doctor, not a scientist. I I've done the same amount of research as probably anybody else, and I have yet to come to any solid conclusions worth publicizing on a podcast. 00:59:01 Speaker 1: Right. 00:59:01 Speaker 4: So, so that's where I'm at. 00:59:03 Speaker 1: But you're on bus and so there's a lot. 00:59:05 Speaker 4: Let me tell you this right now. Like if I if I wasn't on the Niners and someone was like, hey, dude, knowing all this, do you want to go play for the Niners? I would jump to go play for the Niners. Yes, this is this And and that's where it's frustrating for us because we're like, dude, like I read something. It's like free agents are or is this something free agents should consider before signing the Niners. I'm like, no, that's to shut the hell up about the power station. Like we want to get good guys to come in. There's nothing you know, you know, Fred trains are all ye around, He's been healthy seven years. Guys train there all year again, people forget guys go off into their own states in the offseason and do their own training, and there's and you know, you're not with the team all the time. What what happened in practice? That's something happen you get rolled up on a little bit in practice, Like is it I look at it as we had a really shitty year when it comes to injuries. Some years are like that for a lot of teams, you know. And to say that it's caused by one thing, I think is too broad of a statement. 01:00:03 Speaker 6: I hate I agree with that that part right there, that way, because there's do you have an airstack? 01:00:09 Speaker 1: I had it. 01:00:09 Speaker 6: I had it on the top of something else. 01:00:14 Speaker 1: He said, I got something. 01:00:15 Speaker 4: I got a case on my phone. Yeah, block regular phone case, just a couple of some stuff underneath case. 01:00:26 Speaker 6: Hey, I don't disagree with you that like one thing cannot It's. 01:00:29 Speaker 4: Never one thing. It's never one And I think as somebody who's gone through injuries, you can drive yourself mad trying to figure out you know, yeah, hey, I need to do this differently. It's like you better be right about your assumption. Otherwise you're going to change a lot of stuff that you really didn't need to change. You know, what if you just got unlucky? 01:00:46 Speaker 1: What if you know? 01:00:47 Speaker 4: And that's where it's that's where it's so difficult, and I think that's the biggest challenge for us is knowing what to do and when to do it and kind of trusting that process throughout an offseason. 01:00:57 Speaker 6: And dude, when you start to go through the like the biohacking world and just like finding out more and more about health, Like being in high school, you didn't because your dad, but us to be like yo, KFC, like that's chicken, that's protein. You'd eat that. And then you like get into level like, oh, by the way, do you guys know fried chickens bad for you? And then you kind of like like, hen't. 01:01:15 Speaker 1: Stop beating white bread, but bread and enrich bleached flour. Oh, I got to look and see if it's enriched. 01:01:20 Speaker 6: Right, then you start literally like gluten and all these all these different things. So there's layer after layer after layer, and so yeah, when you get injured, that's when the brain and like the conspiracy theory brain of yours, are always trying to get better. What's enough? And it's to me, it's like if I could take out every bad variable, I absolutely would, But then everything the phone, the cell phone tower, you know, the sheets, it's it's it one hundred percent cotton. No, it's a tribelend and that means there's this in there and you. 01:01:49 Speaker 4: Just it's everything, dude, everything you've done your research, oh, dude, just stuff. 01:01:56 Speaker 6: Yeah, because we we like that. That was kind of like one of the foundations pieces of our friendship. It's like when we start talking about podcasts being rog blah blahlah blah. Hey Ben, do you know about Ben Greenfield? 01:02:05 Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. 01:02:06 Speaker 6: So we start doing account of bill of buddy stuff where it's like we're doing HGH like protocols from sauna and cold tub, and then you start to learn about water, like generally water is good for you, but by the way, microplastics and all this, you have to get a filter. But then there's cankin water, all these things. 01:02:22 Speaker 1: Hey, if we're gonna be in a hotel room during training camp, the entire hotel room set up, you get the red light, you got a cooling pad, you got you're doing all this. 01:02:28 Speaker 6: I let you have crystals in my bedroom. 01:02:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, BLOCKYMF and. 01:02:32 Speaker 4: I know you do too. 01:02:33 Speaker 1: We're going to you. Yeah, But that's what I mean. 01:02:36 Speaker 4: Like, it's because I feel like sometimes when we start talking about health and wellness, you know, you get the you get the comments like these guys are eaighty, these guys went to college like these this guy went to Stanford. He turns if he's an eighty. I'm like, hey, body, is our job like being healthy one hundred percent of the time? Is our job? That's what you do for a living, Like you'll you'll look at anything and everything, and so in that, That's where I've gotten to the point of is this electrical substation like such a big deal? I'm like, again, knowing what I know, there is too many variables that happen for you to say, yeah, this is this is a major whatever. So but now I mean, I would. 01:03:15 Speaker 1: Say too, and I'll just speak I'm speaking for myself. There is a lot of variables. But as that thing potentially being a variable, there is, like you know, I would say, from my own player's perspective, there's an appreciation that some of it is like getting some traction to at least allow people to talk about, think about it, dive into it, to learn a little bit more on you know, that being the case, because when people are telling me it's like, oh yeah, you know, we'll be sitting there talking with Delaney and I'm like, is it true. I won't even look at you so that way you don't feel like you're part of it. And I'm like, is it true that this power station, all the trees and planes and stuff are like dead compare to the other side. He's like, oh yeah, oh yeah. And I'm like, that's You're just happy that it's a conversation being talked about on behalf of the players Christians out here, right, he's not here. 01:03:58 Speaker 6: If you're the ownership of the forty nine ers and your goal is to hoist a Lombardi trophy, hoisted Lombardi trophy, it's like, we need to do everything we possibly can to make sure our players are around every single Sunday in the fall. And if this is contributing negatively to this, then we should probably look at maybe relocating, not San Francisco relocation, but just like, let's move a couple of blocks away, right right, that's it. You want to bring them back in? 01:04:21 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you'd love to come back in. You'd allow me? Yeah, yeah, if you want to be I was more like a because this is I think it's it's it's a twofold, right, Like guys live in apartment buildings. Well that's flooded with Wi Fi and five G. Even if you turn yours off in your room, you still have all these other places. 01:04:37 Speaker 9: Right, So it's again like game, that's if we're if we're if we're he's right, if I'm literally if we're going into this and that is you know, and so where I where I like to do my research now is being around you know, all of these things that US three don't know about, being around all the all the non scene energy, the five G. 01:04:59 Speaker 4: They that's inevitable. If you live in a city, you're around it. If you have your phone on you at all times and you're looking at the screen, you're around it all the time. You watch TV, you're it's all the time. How can you combat it? Is more the question like, okay, if you let's just say that it is something, well, what does it do and why does it cause it? It's like maybe it you know, it might pull electro I'm making stuff up. I'm just talking because I'm an idiot and I don't know anything. But maybe it's pulling electrons from you, from your cells, which are big in hydration. It's why grounding is important. You're charging the electrons which allow you to hold water, hold electrolytes. It's all in the language. Electromagnetic field, electro lights, magnetic field, magnesium a great mineral, helps with muscle recovery, helps with water retention, all these things. Right if you if that's what it's doing, and it's maybe you need to up your electrolyte and take and that's it. Maybe that's what it is, right, So it's and that's where it's like, Okay, is it a huge factor? 01:05:57 Speaker 1: Not? 01:05:57 Speaker 4: If you hydrate properly, Okay, well, then hydrate operate. It's something that simple. So I think sometimes we get you know, the we come up with these massive conclusions that that really go back to uh, the simplest things when it comes to health and wellness. And you mentioned the challenge of how many things out there there are. You listen to a podcast, it tells you one thing. You listen to another, it tells you another. You read stuff, Well, now it's saying it's not true, the food pyramid, all these things. It's it's we're evolving every single day. So for someone to say I have the answers like i'd like, you know, there's a lot of people saying they have the answers, who do you listen to? And again that's the challenge. And so I think understanding physics, understanding biomechanics, biochemistry, understanding that stuff will help you yourself because now you know what things do. So I don't know, I mean I and I'm again I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm spewing nothing. 01:06:49 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The haters are there swinging at air watching you just cook right there. 01:06:52 Speaker 6: Yea, no, no, no. 01:06:55 Speaker 4: Popping up again. I don't know anything. I'm not a scientist and I don't know anything. I'm just saying this is all hypothetical. 01:07:03 Speaker 1: Yeah. And if I'm a young player when we were as all of us young players, and you gravitor, gravitate towards veterans or guys who have success in the league, and you're like, I need a mimic like one of mine was, like Ryan Kerrigan. He was one of the cleanest guys out there as far as work, ethic, eating and everything else. And you're kind of watching his habits. If I'm sitting there as a young cat on the Peace squad or my rookie year, and I'm hearing Ryan on a podcast talking about. Yeah, it's to the point if you're staying in an apartment or a hotel and I'm sitting there living in an apartment or a hotel, I'm thinking I got to get my ass out of. 01:07:33 Speaker 4: It, get out here as fast a yes, or or or again, because cause that's it's you know, I can't go live in and you know, close to the equator where the sun is at its purest form because it has less layers of atmosphere to run through. I can't go live there. I live. I live in the US, so so what can It's not about like you got to get out of the hotel. Hey, if you're in a hotel again, like in the morning, get outside a little bit, go get your feet and some ground, and and look at this song whatever you got. I mean, listen, don't. I don't do that every day either. I mean I do get out in the sun first thing in the morning. I like the way I feel when I do it. I do my hot tub, my cold tub, all the pool stuff whatever. I like being outside first thing in the morning. But I'm not, like, you know, I need to get away from all again, It's inevitable, it's part of our life. So it's just it's more about how you can manage those things more than anything. 01:08:21 Speaker 6: Yeah, two things are important. Educate yourself as much as you want on these things, because like everybody wants to be healthier, whether they do it or not as relevant, but people in general like, hey, do you want to be healthy? They would say, yeah, I want to be healthy. And the next thing is is like, once you have the information, do as much as as you want. But at some point it's gonna be like you've got to live your life as well. 01:08:40 Speaker 1: At some point you got to order that pizza at midnight. 01:08:43 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. Ice cream. 01:08:47 Speaker 4: I think the biggest effect on athletes in today's day and they just stress. And I think the more you can manage that stress, which means sometimes snag that pizza, snag if that's gonna give you, Like, I mean, there's a middle ground, don't get me wrong, But I every time I've been so neurotic about every little thing all the time, you can never really enjoy the whole reason and why you're here, you know what I mean. And and so that's why it's uh when you're give a long answer about the substation. But that's why I don't I'm not. I hate when people make it as if like this substation is the biggest deal on the Planet's like, hey, man, just drink a little bit more water if you think it's a big deal with electrolytes in it, and you know, try not to be as on your phone as much. Next the conversations. For me, it's over like and also and also like you see guys coming all the time. We had a lot of injuries, also had a lot of guys healthy who played a lot of snaps and didn't have anything wrong with them the whole year. What about them? Why didn't why didn't affect them? That's like, that's a genuine question that needs an answer. So that's why I was like, you know what, man, I don't know. 01:09:51 Speaker 6: You know, it sounds like it sounds like Christians had a long week on radio rail. 01:09:58 Speaker 4: This is bad. 01:10:00 Speaker 6: It sounds like it sounds like it sounds like people have really been just like only asking you about this. 01:10:08 Speaker 4: We can edit this and post and just can we redo the question? 01:10:14 Speaker 6: But yay, you're you're right, Like, if it's an issue, do something that you think would negate that, like level out the issue, move on onward onward, man, that's it. How does Christian McCaffrey relieve stress talk about the pizza? We know you're a mint chocolate chip guy. If you're like man, I had a long suit. 01:10:33 Speaker 4: I like cookies and cream better than mint chocolate chip. I thought you said, but I also do like mint chocolate chip, and you didn't like mint chocolate chip. 01:10:44 Speaker 1: Taylor combated that with, like, he just likes vanilla and sprinkles. 01:10:47 Speaker 6: Vanilla, sprinkles and caramel is my favorite. 01:10:49 Speaker 4: Sprinkles is where I draw the line. Can't do it. I completely deters it. First off, it's not it doesn't. It's not. It's it shouldn't be a texture that goes on ice cream. 01:10:59 Speaker 6: It's sad for me to see a grown man lose his childhood. 01:11:03 Speaker 4: That never was in my childhood. Didn't like it as a child. 01:11:06 Speaker 6: Let you have ice cream in your childhood? 01:11:07 Speaker 1: Nah? 01:11:08 Speaker 4: See I gave I gave my dad a bad rap. My dad, let us have ice cream? Hey again? Conversations after my Dad's like, did you guys exaggerate the ship out of the stores again? You can go to bed at seven thirty? Were you talking about him? Like, yeah, I made for a better story. 01:11:25 Speaker 1: Yeah. Outside the coke can in the woods. 01:11:29 Speaker 6: That's real. 01:11:29 Speaker 4: That was real. 01:11:30 Speaker 1: Getting tackled by one. 01:11:31 Speaker 4: Arm that was real. 01:11:33 Speaker 1: Yeah. 01:11:33 Speaker 4: But you know what this is what didn't get understood contextually was we loved it. Like we were all over it, Like dude, what else? You know what I mean? Like I didn't want to get jersey tack on the Oh my god, we're taping our pads next thing him. My whole team was taping the pads. So he's like, look, I'm he wouldn't have done it if we didn't love it, you know what I mean. Like and obviously sometimes you're like, dude, what are we doing? But again I was like, I you know, he said, I'm not supposed to be here, Like I always felt like that, like I need to do everything under the sun to be as best as I can. That's how he was in his career. You know, he was the same way. He's like, hey man, I need he would you know again, he'd cut the little things off his cleats just to kill dead weight, you know, and wear the kicker pads to make them that much faster. Like that's how he thought, and that's how he played, and and you know, helped win three super Bowl and do all these things, and I'm like, man, that sounds fun. I'd I'd rather do that than not. Why don't I listen? And we really did own it. We're like, dude, what else can we do that would help? 01:12:36 Speaker 9: You? 01:12:36 Speaker 1: Know? 01:12:37 Speaker 6: Ed McCaffrey he hat cell phone towers. Chase every edge you can, dude, every edge you possibly can. 01:12:43 Speaker 4: That's what it is. It's it's it's chasing edges. That's it. 01:12:47 Speaker 1: What else we got? 01:12:51 Speaker 4: I'm talking weight you guys give me to talk too much. I'm I'm spewing right now. 01:12:57 Speaker 6: But you're also spitting. 01:12:58 Speaker 1: I think you put in a good boat food. 01:13:01 Speaker 4: Straight probably quad espresso at this point, just going You're just on caffeine today, just caffeine and a manifesting finding the edges. Not on purpose though, Like again, I'm not training right now. It's the week of the super Bowl. It's hectic radio row. I'm gonna I'm gonna. I just six pm coffee yesterday. That goes against all my rules, but it felt good. 01:13:25 Speaker 1: I feel like a guy who can hit caffeine late at night. So go to sleep easy. 01:13:29 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I slept great. 01:13:30 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a cut up. Try to cut off by nuone. But you get in these situations like super Bowl week and it's just like longer nights, earlier mornings. Yeah, that's when I'm like, you know what, it's all out the window at this point. 01:13:41 Speaker 1: What does when you are in it? What does a regimented Christian McCaffrey day in the life look like for you when you were on your own too? Not like it. I'm not talking like during the week of football or anything else, like when you're at your the thing that yeah, in the off season where you're like excited to fucking get it going. 01:13:58 Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly, man, And it's it was really cool last year because my trainers, I just whatever they tell me to do, I do it. And it's it really it's long days. So we structured it as you know, you wake up, I do the you know, you uhould go contrast hot cold hot cold hot cold, and then I'll do some pool mobility stuff in the morning and then eat digest that's important though. I don't even go right to the run. 01:14:28 Speaker 1: Yeah. 01:14:31 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just give myself and I'm whatever, all right, What times did they start? Is there like a I like sleep man, I'm not great at sleeping in, but I try to sleep as long as I can. I I so what time you go in to bed, though, I try to go to bed like nine, nine to ten, okay, on the tennis, Okay, if I were to, if I were to do it right, I feel like going to bed with the sun, waking up with the sun. Yeah, that's a good way of life. Yeah, I feel like way way of life. And uh but no, I don't do that. I go nine to nine to tennis. I wake up around seven to eight, go through that whole process. Eat usually running at like ten thirty ish, so we'll do all our field work, whatever that is. I'll come back, eat again, treatment, nap, maybe come back and lift in the afternoon, eat again, any treatment. Usually there's not a whole lot of treatment after the lift, and then at night do like a little pool pool flush workout. 01:15:35 Speaker 1: Man, you don't know how big it is. I mean, you're you've been a cat, been at the top of the game for a long time. So I feel like, even though it seems small, explaining all that, I feel like any like young athletes or anybody that gravitates towards listening to what your daily routine could be. I feel like that could be like bible for them, like this is how CMC doesn't. 01:15:51 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, well this is what I'll say too, because and this is why I'm I'm like, I get that question a lot, like how do you train? And people like I want to copy how you train them? Like it really is not that simple, right because I'm a I'm at my own spot in my career, my own spot in my journey physically, and you know, you get high school kids that you might have to do something completely different than late than me, and there's not like a there's not a set program of training where this is what you should follow from January till August. It's not that easy, man, because you know there's again I keep saying that it sound redundant, but there's there's too many variables that go into it. What are your mechanics, Like you might need mechanical changes that take two weeks to fix before you even start to do this program. Right, Like these drills, there's meaning and purpose behind the drills. And that's why, like anything, I'm not a trainer, so I need a trainer. I need somebody to watch me and correct me where I'm wrong. Otherwise you're developing bad habits and so that's part of training too, Like you know, oh, what do you do for training? It's like, dude, if you really want to know, like, spend an off season with us. That's the only way to really understand, you know, how I do it. But again, I I said this the other day, like I've played with Hall of famers first ballot who they did it completely different than me, their first ballot Hall of Famers, like some clearly like or they just trained differently. They still trained hard, but they trained it, but they committed to a program, they trusted it, and they did it. And I think that's more important than me saying you should do three sets of ten here force it like that's I think that can be. That can be dangerous to give because yeah, it can be dangerous. 01:17:29 Speaker 1: Because usually evolved over time development for sure, it changes all the time. 01:17:32 Speaker 6: Yeah, listen to guys like Clay Matthews. So like Julius Peppers who just kind of walk in the weight room. 01:17:38 Speaker 4: Julius Peppers store. I played with him in Carolina. 01:17:41 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I played against him he was in Carolina. Dude, I remember him getting I remember getting a three point stance like one of the first naps of the game and he got a three point stance and I looked at my form in his forum and I was like, this is he's not fair? 01:17:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, like that's somebody that was like the first I saw when I walked in the locker room when I got drafted, and I was like, I was twenty and I look at Julius Peppers and I was like, all right, you gotta lock in because that's crazy. But I remember a couple of years later, I was like, hey, man, what do you do to train in the off season. It's like the first time I ever talk to him. He's so intimidating. He's the nicest guy ever, though, and he goes and he's got like the Andre the Giant voice, and he's like the off seasons for resting the muscles. I was like, dude, oh my god, he didn't do shit, did he. I don't know what he did. One of the few combos I've had with him, God, but no, that was uh yeah, that's that's how he did it. And again, you know that's Julius Pepper is one of the best football players of all time. I personally, if I just rested my muscles, that's when that would show. 01:18:53 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I can't do it. 01:18:57 Speaker 4: I mean I I I'd love to be able to do that. I can't. That's just not me. So no, but that that's what I mean. That's why it's like, dude, I trained differently than other guys. I asked other guys all the time, what do you do for training? 01:19:07 Speaker 1: Man? 01:19:07 Speaker 4: I played basketball? Damn that's sick. 01:19:10 Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to play different sports. 01:19:12 Speaker 4: You think these guys are worried about a substation? 01:19:15 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, shot, No, not not one bit. I was the craziest thing when dudes we like, go have fun to train. I'm gonna play basketball, play basketball the beach and play spike ball. 01:19:26 Speaker 4: I run routes, I do ladders and play hoops like that. Sounds like the best off season. 01:19:31 Speaker 6: Yeah, just have a good time. 01:19:32 Speaker 4: Yeah. 01:19:33 Speaker 1: Was it then? Wasn't it Julius Peppers who told Luke Kickley Day's get in the Hall of Fame. God, that's big time man, shout out Luke, friend of the show, friend of the boys, the best. 01:19:45 Speaker 6: Yeah what do you do that in practice? All the time? When he would just call out place twenty four to seven. Yeah, was just see one of the guys like Max Crosby. They would say, like, hey, during practice, if you want to get something done, just like take him out of practice for a little bit. 01:19:55 Speaker 4: This is what I'll say about Luke, and this is why to me, he he's first off, he's a first ballot Hall of Famer. I mean, he's probably he's classic Luke. I mean, I'm obviously honored. I get pissed off because I'm like, that's a first ballot, not a second. But that's a first ballot Hall of Famer. It's one of the best football players I've ever seen. He could have wrecked every practice, but he understood the need to give the offenses a look. And he was the best practice player I've ever been around. Like he wasn't. He would do his job and on tape you'd be like, well, Luke would have made that tackle, but he tagged off, or he like let you finish the play like he wasn't like when it was time to go, I mean, he'd kill you. He'd do whatever he wanted. And I think I mentioned this the other day on another show, but Luke was is such a special player because people talk about how smart he was, like, oh, Luke is so smart. He calls out plays. He knew where the play was going. But people don't give him enough credit for how physically unbelievable he was. Like I would watch him box, jump boxes his height and run like four four like he was insane. He was an unbelievable athlete, shredded all the things that you would want in a linebacker. He was those two. But because he was so smart, that's all people talk about. But he was an absolute freak man. 01:21:19 Speaker 6: God, yeah, you know why. He's a head up guy. That's what they would be like, Oh, he's he's a His brain is this superpower. 01:21:29 Speaker 4: Got to be smart, gotta be smart. But yeah, you're right, whatever the reasoning is. I think, you know, I I got to see I think we all got to see it. Who played with them firsthand? Like when you combine his intelligence with that athletic ability you have Luke Keigley you know. 01:21:45 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's a he's a monster. Mount Rushmore backers. Yeah. 01:21:50 Speaker 6: How is you talk you about your daughter? 01:21:52 Speaker 1: Your kid? 01:21:53 Speaker 6: Daughter? How is your mindset changed since like having a kid, Like when you're when you're young and you're playing, like the off season is yours. You go train, you hang out the boys and then you end up married. Kids the whole thing, especially. 01:22:05 Speaker 1: When you have a regiment that's down there around your life. 01:22:08 Speaker 6: And now this kid's like three or four months old. Whenever it is during the season, and you're like, you come home and it's like, I usually do I remember it, usually do this, but I have to have time. Like it's very difficult having kids. When I was playing, it's like, it's very difficult to find that balance. How have you found that balance in the game. 01:22:23 Speaker 4: Well, I think coming home and watching her smile at you notice the world like you can't help but spend thirty minutes or an hour with her. It's it's the greatest gift you could ever ask. It truly is good day, bad day, doesn't matter. You come home and you're like, this is what life's about. You know, you're playing with her and holding her, and it's such a good reminder about how much bigger life is than football. But you know, I honestly, I got to give a lot of credit to my wife because whatever I have to do for football, I do it, and she holds it down. To be honest with you, you know, I uh, you know, we all have a certain amount of time we can play the game, and I'm like, look, I'm gonna maximize this. This is what needs to get done in order for me to play on Sunday, you know, And I try to be proactive with it. I'm not like scheduling stuff at seven pm, you know when I don't need to. I fight can do it earlier so that I can spend some time with them at home. I will, but no, she holds it down for sure. She always lets me, hey, do what you need to do, like get right. 01:23:25 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's so important having a partner that is they call the position of life that you're in, how it is not for long and then eventually you're going to have to hag up. This isn't like I can just do this forever. And for them to understand that and take on, you know, eighty ninety percent during the football season. Like people who have that like you and I had or I had you have is it's extremely special to have that and it just it just breeds success long term in a marriage. I know you two have each other's back. 01:23:51 Speaker 1: How's the uh? How's the Swadow game? 01:23:56 Speaker 4: Swadow games? Not great? 01:23:58 Speaker 1: We did we got we get the Velcrows. 01:24:00 Speaker 4: She's done with swaddling. Okay, so she's not in the swaddle anymore. 01:24:04 Speaker 6: But now you're watching the film on you're swadowing. How could you? 01:24:06 Speaker 4: I just knew it wasn't great. I could tell it wasn't great. I'll be but my wife's was in fantastic, like unbelievable, And I always felt like mine was different and definitely worse, but that that's good for her character, Like you can't just be so perfectly. You need a little bit of adversity. And that was yeah, no, yep, exactly what she should be better for it? 01:24:28 Speaker 6: What's the quality? 01:24:29 Speaker 4: Have? 01:24:30 Speaker 6: Go ahead. 01:24:31 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, she sleeps through the night. That's that's awesome. Sleeping great, good for the wife. 01:24:37 Speaker 6: Yeah, what's your like, your superpower quality that you have as a father? Early in the game, my mine was kids up late at night, wife's super tired. You need someone to put that baby to sleep. I can turn my brain off and just stare at a wall for two hours while this kid just cries my arms and that baby would eventually go to sleep. 01:24:52 Speaker 4: That's that's underrated. One of the best parts about being a dad is is or you get the nap, Like, oh yeah, I'll give her the nap. I'll put her down for a nap, and you're right there with you know, like I get a nap like this is fantastic and quiet. So it's and no because because she's asleep, no one bugs you. So you're napping now in peace. 01:25:16 Speaker 6: So the superpower is taking a nap with your kid. 01:25:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good dad hack. 01:25:23 Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if that's my super superpower would be. I don't know. 01:25:31 Speaker 1: Man, you need time to think about it. You haven't had food, haven't had food. 01:25:35 Speaker 4: Twelve espressos, twelve espressos. I'm good, though I don't have one. I have one superpower. I think it's more good at a lot, having perfected one quality. And I'm willing to look at you guys in the face and tell you that, Yeah, that's good. I'm still new y. 01:25:52 Speaker 6: Yeah. 01:25:52 Speaker 1: Yeah. Getting the rollover? Is she rolling over? 01:25:55 Speaker 4: We crawled rolling? She loves rolling, She loves moving. She likes jumping on her little you know, the little bouncy Yeah. The loves jumping. Yeah, love jumping. But I'm trying to get her to crawl before she wants to stand. So I'm trying to get her to respect progressions. Get her to crawl before she slips off. 01:26:14 Speaker 6: Right, you know, get the right doors, reflection in the foot, you want the correct angles, we get bad habits. We can't have that, So we have to have a trainer. 01:26:21 Speaker 4: That's why I'm here. 01:26:22 Speaker 6: How are we going to be with sports? Are we gonna in the words of Dave Lawan, my father, We're gonna give them every opportunity to love sports? 01:26:29 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think sports are the best way for a kid to grow and develop and succeed in society. 01:26:37 Speaker 1: Agreed. Yeah, I love that. 01:26:39 Speaker 4: Whether you're good or not, it doesn't even matter. Yeah, if you're good or not. I actually think it's good if you're bad. 01:26:44 Speaker 6: My oldest, I think I made a mistake, and I'll tell you my mistake. I'll be vulnerable with. 01:26:47 Speaker 4: You, please please. 01:26:48 Speaker 6: I was putting them in a like gymnastics like my kids. You see how tall I am. I didn't really have body control until I was like about sixteen years old, and that's when things start to really work out for me. Before then, it's a bambye on the eye. I couldn't figure out. My poor kids they have that trade as well. So my oldest put her in soccer's she's asking the coach if both teams can just share it the ball for a little bit. I put her in you know, gymnastics, the kids are this tall, she's this tall. It just looks a little bit different. So I'm like trying to press her on, Hey, let's go outside, Let's throw the ball, let's go kick the ball, let's go do these things. And then I'm watching playoff hockey with her last April, and I'm sitting there and I'm just giving her a whole thing, like, if you want, you could be great, if you want to play sports. I'm just telling you, like your old man did it. I can see it in you. And my daughter sits back and she just goes, you know what. Then I think I'm just gonna be me. And that was the moment I was like, we're done here. This is we don't have a fighting chance right now. For feel felt like my I just lost a lot of money because I to pay for school. That's what it felt like. It was heartbreaking. But also now she's in jiu jitsu, it was just kind of beat an ass it, dude. 01:27:58 Speaker 4: It was. 01:27:59 Speaker 6: That's the thing about Whin and she has like crazy perspective for an eight year old. She sits back and just kind of dials it in. But yeah, we got her jiu jitsu, and she does she's all about that right now. She's like, she likes individual. 01:28:09 Speaker 1: Sports, so she's getting in sport. 01:28:10 Speaker 6: She's getting in sport. Yes, singular jiu jitsu is. 01:28:14 Speaker 4: The sickest thing for a kid to do that like that, that is cool. Yeah, at least it's not. I mean I hate by the way, never mind, I can't say that's going to come back to haunt me. Don't worry about that might come back to haunt me if I say, at least because my daughter, you never know, she might be like, I don't want to play sports. 01:28:32 Speaker 1: You're right, you do. 01:28:32 Speaker 4: So let me just stop there. Yeah, because I don't care what my you know, I also I am going to stop there. 01:28:43 Speaker 1: You know, maybe I do. I'm stopping. 01:28:46 Speaker 6: Let me just respect being an individual myself who has been in sports my entire life, and like all I really knew was sports. Having a kid that is like in the piano into art songwriting class, doing a little bit of jiu JITs, like she was doing so many things that like it becomes fun because you're doing you're now doing things that like, hey, I can't help you, but I can like be a part of these things with you, and that is a very fun thing as a father. 01:29:08 Speaker 4: Yeah, the best part about growing up. The best part about football growing up was playing basketball and baseball, because if you loved football, you waited, you didn't, you weren't doing it all the time, Like you got to escape it, put your mind on something else, then go to baseball or track, whatever it was. Then you you know, come back to it. So I completely agree with you. I think doing a bunch of different stuff is important. 01:29:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd be itching as a young buck, as a young jit, just waiting for football season to come back around. Because baseball, basketball, you could do those things all year round. And then as you get older it gets forced on you a little bit more fall ball, you know, summer, but you're playing all throughout the season. Then if it's snowing in the wintertime, a dad has got a massive warehouse or garage. So we're hitting batting cage, you're throwing the heavier baseball. 01:29:53 Speaker 4: I always hated the indoor batting cage practice. 01:29:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, you get the gas. 01:30:00 Speaker 4: It's just me. You're like, it's always dark lit like some gritty warehouse, which I respect the setting, but it always felt like we should be doing something else, like this should be another sport time, like baseball seasons, baseball season, and it's not baseball season. Its being like, you know, the fall or whatever, the season in the fall anymore? Is it springs? 01:30:21 Speaker 1: Spring springs? 01:30:22 Speaker 4: Yeah, And you'd be like, you know, I shouldn't be doing VP right now, I should be playing something else in outside. 01:30:28 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the snow, because outside it's you know, quiet. You might have the gas that a huge heat just blowing and then you just be hearing the crack of the bat and everything else. But it felt a little bit more transactional. And then you're in there actually playing sports with the fellas. 01:30:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, I never Arizona was you went to the there's always like a couple of vending machines at the front. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, a couple of vending machines. There's the water water fountain. It's like kind of broken, but you can still get some out of there. 01:31:02 Speaker 1: You hear the mound kind of hitting the concrete because there's just a you know, a manufactured mound out there. 01:31:08 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like your boy's dad loves this, Yeah, like a little too much. He's the pitcher and he's like loving it, talking about your hands and your. 01:31:16 Speaker 1: Stab and your bass and all of it constantly. Oh I can feel those moments right now. I'm reliving them. 01:31:22 Speaker 4: It's like you hear the crack of the bat and you hear another one a couple bays down, Yeah, or guys are four bays down having VP. 01:31:30 Speaker 1: Talking about your hands, just getting them over good time. 01:31:33 Speaker 4: You can't catch pop flies either, which was always a weird right, love pop flies, love poff flies, big pop fly guys, pop flies much better than grounders. Yeah, take one off the chin. 01:31:46 Speaker 1: Bleeding all over the place, get hit in the mouth. But then you get to play Pepper. 01:31:51 Speaker 4: Pepper's good game. 01:31:54 Speaker 1: It's like all the boys are like lined up along the fence and essentially like you know, the coaches out there, and it's a game. You're trying to be the last when standing, but they're hitting like these little ground balls and you can't bobble at all, right yeah yeah, okay, And the minute you bobble your you're eliminated. So then it keeps going down and down. The pressure rises a spot like gets a little brighter. It's like who can be the last man standing. You might catch your boy, might catch it easy one. You might get out on a hard one, and you're just devastating because you're like, man, ain't nobody feeling this coach? 01:32:22 Speaker 6: Like him better? 01:32:23 Speaker 1: Then like me? 01:32:23 Speaker 6: He wanted me to fail right here? Yeah, that's where weed that out sounds like my childhood wasn't as dope as your guys is. Just like that memory lane, I saw you guys go back in time. 01:32:30 Speaker 4: For a minute. I wish I appreciated baseball more as a kid because I always thought, man, baseball's boring. Baseball is boring, but like it really is just a built in smelt with your boys. Yeah, like you're just hanging out with your buddies, chewing seeds, like if you ever wanted to hang out with your buddies, play baseball effort game And I didn't play in high school. I ran track instead, And looking back, and like, I wish I could have just shown up for the meats and then played baseball, right because all of my football buddies played baseball, and and when track would in and they were still in it, we go and throw like a grill at right field, and we would grill brods, cheddar brods, and we would just talk ship to whoever the opposing team's right fielder was, and it was like, it's awesome. Baseball is awesome, a great pastime. 01:33:19 Speaker 1: You're right too, especially when new flavors of seeds are coming on your back. I got some buffalo. 01:33:24 Speaker 4: You're like, buffalo the weather, it's the weather was good. 01:33:26 Speaker 1: Yeah, they pull out a massive bag. 01:33:28 Speaker 6: The first time someone pops up pickle flavor and you're like, I don't. 01:33:31 Speaker 4: Know if that's gonna geah, no shot, and then you have it and you're. 01:33:33 Speaker 6: Like, holy shit, pickle rips. Now you're kind of searching for pickle. Yeah, makes a flavor bake. 01:33:39 Speaker 1: I was gonna say I wasn't a mixed guy. 01:33:42 Speaker 4: Mixing seed sounds crazy. 01:33:45 Speaker 1: That does sound or in Little League, like you get done with your game and they're like, oh, everybody's getting a snow cone at the concession stand, and you're all. 01:33:53 Speaker 6: Just there'd be two diamonds and then right in the middle of a concession stand and you go get yourself nerd ropes and a hot dog, and you're like the boys were truly living right. 01:34:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, So it was all mixing seas. 01:34:08 Speaker 6: Hey, when you said nacho and ranch making seeds though, I thought that was a nice little move that has the potential. 01:34:13 Speaker 1: I've never done it, But no, I do think that's a nice conversation. I do think that sounds like a nice combo. But just hearing mixing seeds, guys, you're reminiscent. I'm just thinking all these different seeds in your mouth. Yeah, I guess so. 01:34:26 Speaker 4: Yeah, how about recess man, did the smell of metal on your hands? 01:34:32 Speaker 1: Yeah? 01:34:33 Speaker 6: From the bars, playing that one game when you just throw the ball in the air, whoever catches it gotta tackle them. Yeah, you talk down. 01:34:40 Speaker 1: There, trying to throw a peek at your crush.
