Speaker 1 (00:05):
Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle is
a production of the NFL and iHeart podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We got lots just say, we got lots to save.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
What a backer here?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
And we hope you say because we.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Got lots to say.

Speaker 5 (00:27):
Yeah, we got lots to say.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Now here's Bobby and that. I feel like people judge
me when they come to my house and the studio
is at my house, but it's not in the house,
it's a building on the property behind the house. Like,
but when you pulled up, there's a massive Amazon box
right on the front porch, And then I feel like
if there's a box or two boxes, people just judge

(00:52):
you for uh not being detail oriented. So did you
at all think, man, what a slob that guy is
because he has Amazon boxes on his front porch when
you drove up there was scattered all over the place.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, because at the end of the day, I have
more box random boxes show up to my house on
a weekly basis that I haven't ordered any of those things,
so I don't even know what kind of boxes. There's
usually three or four boxes at my gate per day.
We've got five kids, too.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
So who has access to the ordering My wife.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Definitely, I have access to ordering, but I really randomly
will use Amazon just for simple things. I need razors.
I can't get the store boom, I'm going to order
it package up with something. But I mean, we have
shoes that come to the house, socks. This week we
had new sheets for the bed. Somehow the bed ripped
the sheet. I think I don't know how. It wasn't

(01:40):
any activity that I was doing.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, so many kids. I was going to guess how.
But okay, if you're saying that, when.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
You figured out how that happens. So I went and
saw the doctor about it. Actually, I saw the veterinarian.
I got a two for one deal with my dog nice.
It was great.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I guess I wondered. But with your family, how
old did a kid or does a kid need to
be to have access to the Amazon.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Oh, there's no chance I'd ever give my kids access.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Oh none of them have open Amazon.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
My It's random? Like we'd have seeds show up and
I'm what I'm talking about is like the baseball seeds
my kids are obsessed with. My boys are baseball seeds.
But the most random stuff that they go on Amazon
like can I get this? Can I get that? I
was like, no, you don't need any of this stuff.
No access a disaster. Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I pulled up recent things I bought online. Random. I
bought Alpha Momentous Alpha GPS supplement, fantastic.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
It sounds great. Any anything that has alpha in it's winning.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
That's a good point. I mean it's number one.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Have you taken it yet?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, And it sounds like it's something you
used for like your sexual drive. It's not. It's for
like cognitive right health? No, yeah, I just everybody knows.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Is that the Joe Rogan thing?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
No, it's not that alpha brain. It's probably something similar. Ish.
I bought a thirty pound bag of marshmallows of Lucky Charms, Marshmallows,
thirty pounds. It's a massive bag. And now on my
radio show tried to I offered somebody fifteen hundred dollars
to eat the whole bag in four hours.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Were they able to even?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Nobody?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I mean thirty pounds of much, I mean, what is it?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Marshmallows likey toms marshmallows that to cinigrate though we're not
talking about Chewie marshmallows.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I know, but still that's thirty pounds worth it. That's
pretty intense.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
No, I agree, but that's why I offered himifteen hundred bucks.
I wanted somebody to at least try it, and nobody did.
And then finally I have a bought pickleballs. I bought
sixteen new pickleballs. That's my recent random ordering. What do
you have randomly?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
What did you buy here randomly? You know, like sometimes
you're scrolling on the Twitter and stuff and these ads
will come up. So recently I bought a three D printer.
I've known way and so you know they've got the
mid line one. And then I was like, you know
what mid line? Okay, I'm going.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
To get the big dog question about a three D
printer with you. What did you want to print? Because
that sounds super cool and I see like toys and
medical supplies. But when you see that, you think I'd
like to have that because.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Blank, Honestly, a guy came over to my house was
working on my television, said he got a three D
printer and he was saying, yeah, we make everything from
vases to these little pots. He said, We've got all
these little toys. That we can make for the kids.
In addition to that, they'll make anything from like a scraper,
a paint scraper to I don't know, I mean to honestly,
he sold me on it, so I was like, this

(04:20):
sounds rad so I went on.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
So it came up though, because your phone heard it, Yes,
it must have heard it first. Yeah, because I don't
get ads for three D printers, right, got it?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
So I went on.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I purchased this, and of course I'm thinking it's like
a smaller version. It's as big as that track man like.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh, it's stereosis three feet tall.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's massive. I was like, oops, I don't know where
to put this right here, but it is.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
It's awesome. But okay, have you used it?

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Well, I won't hook up to my phone and through
the bluetooth.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's awesome. How can you get because it's.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Already got pre programmed things that you can go in
and actually three D print. So my kids have printed
out like these puzzles.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
So it Oh, you've used it. It's worked.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
It's unbelievable. Wow, it's within thirty minutes it printed. It
was able to three D print this whole jewelry box.
For my daughter that was pre input it into the system.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
What do you put in as okay, we'll call it
the paper. What do you put in? There's no paper? No, no,
but let's say you have to put in paper to
get paper printed out. What do you put in that
would be the same as paper into a normal printer?
Is it like a chemical?

Speaker 3 (05:22):
What is it? So?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It is this?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
It looks like a plastic and it looks like, honestly,
a really big fishing line. And they've got these different
compartments up there with different colors, and then you put
it into this little little area right here that sucks
it down in and then as you print, it uses
the different coloring system and just goes takes literally thirty minutes.
It prints anything, and it's remarkable and sturdy. It's fascinating.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
That's legit over five hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I think it was around six fifty. I can't believe
I bought a three D print for the first time
for six hundred and fifty bucks. But then you also
have to get, you know, the accessories that go along
with it. But it was It's blew my mind. The
kids have been using it at school for some time,
which kind of drew my interest to it.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
What do you mean using it as school?

Speaker 3 (06:09):
So they one of their science classes, they go in
and they're able to three D print. For instance, my
daughter was there and they had to put together a
business concept. Hers was a new type of shoe, so
she did a three D print of a shoe that
she designed for her business model.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's that's so legit.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
And it looks like a legit shoe, like a high top,
and had the design and all that. So it's it
was pretty cool like that. So I've seen components of it,
but never actually use it until now.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I just ordered one. Yeah, in that conversation, I just
ordered one. What else you got?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh? So I like to shoot a little bit, but
I haven't been shooting for a long time. Of course,
this you know, full metal thing that swings back and forth.
I ordered one off of Twitter.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
A full metal thing like that throws skin. No, I'm sorry,
I've already got that.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
It's actually target shooting, so it throws the targets. No,
it's it just as a standalone target, but when you
shoot one side, it swings the other side so you
can keep shooting. And it's got six different targets. I
forgot completely that even ordered this thing, and of course
it shows up to my house. I'm like, what is
this hunk a metal? And I open it up. I
was like, oh, yeah, I got a shooting range at

(07:18):
the house.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Now have you taken it out?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Not at all?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Have you hit a three D printed one of those though,
and not even buying?

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I know I thought about that. Now Now I'm pretty
upset with myself, but pretty stoked. It's just gonna get
out to work some more.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Your stuff's way more random than mine.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
It's so random.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Mine's like nutrients and pickleballs. Yours is like a three
D printer for jewelry boxes and a way to shoot
away your anxiety. So the NFL is weird right now
because it's at a very boring time and they do
a great job of keeping it active all year, but
this is even the boring time pre draft, meaning everybody's

(07:52):
falling into kind of their slots we think they are,
we don't really know. We know cam Ward is going
to go one of the Titans because they said we're
not even gonna watch Shre right right, So they're not
going to go Sugar, They're not gonna go Travis Hunter.
So the Titans are at one unless they trade it.
We know that's the deal. And I think what's exciting
about the draft is we kind of don't know. Travis

(08:13):
Hunter's odds have popped up to number two the betting odds, right,
But now there's really not much to talk about until
the draft, and I'm watching Shuter's pro day and now
because there's nothing to talk about, you have to find
things to talk about. And the big debate is how
he pats the ball, of course, so why is it

(08:34):
bad that someone pats the ball.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
A lot of people will make the argument that if
you pat the ball, you give that defensive back and
extra beat because they know that you're about to throw right,
so you pat the ball. But honestly, I think it's
an overrated quality that people look at sometimes because everybody
has their throwing emotion. It's sometimes just naturally part of
their throwing emotion. He still has a quick release as
long as the ball's out on time, and a lot

(08:57):
of times, look if it's man to man defense, that
defensive back's not looking at you anyway. And then in
addition to that, in terms of zone, you're always going
through your progression and going through your read and you
have to deliver the ball on time and with accuracy. Now,
if you're staring down a wide receiver when it's zone defense,
then you're already giving your tail right.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
You've got to be good with your eyes.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
You have to manipulate the defense, particularly the second level
of defense. And when I say that, I mean linebackers
to move them off spots in zone. When it's a
man demand. You just have to throw the ball accurately,
have your guy go up and get the ball, or
it's all about the timing. So if you throw with
anticipation timing, I think that that's more important than anything else,
because when you watch his footwork, he's got really good footwork.

(09:39):
He's always got a solid foundation. He throws off of
a really good platform, So that's more important to me.
And then it's the high level processing. Can you process
the game quickly? Can you get through your reads? Can
you make the appropriate checks at the right time. That's
what makes a really good quarterback. It's not always about
patting the ball. I used to pat the ball all
the time, but that's probably why I was on seven teams.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Was it ever an issue with a quick I say,
a three step drop and you're just looking to get
rid of the ball fast. I wonder if you're a
pat or do you still pad it quickly or can
that actually slow down? If it's a quick three step
drop and throw, would that slow it down?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I think it's all about your delivery itself. Some guys
have elongated deliveries. So you remember Brian Leftwich. He honestly
looked like he was throwing a baseball at times. And
then you got guys that have really compact, short deliveries
and they might pat the ball, but it doesn't matter
because that ball's coming out even on three step drops.
If that's kind of part of your routine and how
you throw the football, you're gonna pat that ball just

(10:41):
because you're not even thinking about it. Right. It's something
that's muscle memory that you've been doing it forever. Now
you can work on it, and you'd always try to
because coach would say, don't pat the ball, don't do this.
But more importantly, it was about, well, am I throwing
the ball on time? Is it coming on my hand
or is it actually slowing down the ball getting there
because it's taking too long for that to happen because

(11:03):
you're patting the ball.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've never heard of patting the ball being so negative
so many times as the last couple of days, because
this is kind of the down period of even within
the draft, so they're picking apart everything. Were there any
ticks that were found about you that maybe you even
developed while you were a pro, that either you saw

(11:27):
or someone else saw that you had to change.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I constantly had to work on overstriding because I had
a baseball background. Baseball's such a different motion, particularly for pitchers.
Right you're coming off a small mound, You're striding out,
and your stride length is going down that mound, and
so you and also the motion of your arm. So
there was times that I would get too far spread

(11:49):
out and get out on my front foot, and that
was just something I naturally was able to overcome and
play with throughout my career. However, when you'd see it,
either were constantly working on that in the off season.
In addition to that, it was ball security in the
pocket or when you become a because a lot of
times quarterbacks, particularly back in my time, and it's not
even that long ago, when you take off running, you

(12:12):
were running because you had to. It's not because you
wanted to, and so ball security you'd get loose and
you're just not used to carrying the ball like that.
And then inside the pocket itself, something that was always
harped on for anybody that's working in the pocket is
two hands on the pocket, in the pocket on the ball,
because a lot of times what happens is we get
lazy and you'll see your off hand kind of come

(12:32):
off the ball and that's when strip sacks happen and
bad things happen.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Would you know that or would someone have to watch
and tell you things like your offhand is off the ball.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I could recognize it, but there were times when coaches
would come and be like, cash, we got to get
that hand, and it was just once again, it could
be a clean game. But there was multiple times in
that game where I took that offhand off the ball
in the pocket, which a guy got close and I
was lucky enough to get it, or a strip sack
did occur because I was being lazy with my ball
security in the pocket. Some of the guys that do

(13:03):
it the best, I meant Stafford I played with him
in Detroit. He was fundamentally so sound, but he would
have two hands on the ball in the pocket all
the time, and it's something that we drilled constantly.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Is there any chance that would slow down the delivery?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Though?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
If you're locked down with two hands, even fractionally, you're
holding a two where if one hand is off, I
feel like you can you know, pull back and release
quicker or is it so fractional it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
It's very fractional. But at the same time, it goes
back to the padding part. And that's why I think
people sometimes make a big deal out of it, is
if you naturally pat the ball, sometimes that offhand is
usually just in a comfortable position near the ball because
you're getting ready to start your delivery versus having it there,
and it's almost like you're pushing that offhand with the
ball back to start that delivery instead of padding.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I'm curious about self scouting. I probably a year and
a half or so ago, I found a couple of
people in my business and radio and I said, hey,
I want you two people I respect it. I said,
I want you independently they didn't know of each other,
to pay you to listen to my show for two
weeks straight, and I want you to develop a plan
to beat me as if you were going to start

(14:12):
a new national show. I want you to identify every
weakness I have, and if I were paying you to
find my vulnerabilities to take me down, I want to
read that report. And so I paid two different people
to do it. They didn't know of each other, and
they spent two weeks listening to every second of everything
that I did, and they both developed a plan to
beat me. And what that allowed me to do was
to see those holes and fix those holes, and a

(14:35):
lot of the things they were actually aligned on, which
was good because that meant I needed to work. And
although I have a gigantic ego, because you have to
have one in this business, I don't have an ego
that hurts me in this business because I know I
have a lot of work to do always and I'm
always developing ticks that I need to work myself out of.
And so that was me self scouting. That was me

(14:56):
hiring somebody to break me down, to find my weaknesses
so I could plug them up. As a player, would
you ever grab film of yourself or have someone else
do it to find how you could better yourself by
finding how where your weaknesses were.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I think that it's an ongoing process. When you have
coaching staff, and even when you're going through the season,
all they're ever doing is usually pointing out your weaknesses.
They're really focused, hyper focused on what can you do better?
How can we solve this problem? Even with our drill work,
when we start throughout mini camps, going into camp, everything

(15:35):
we go back in, We critique that film on a
daily basis. We watch film in the morning, we go
and watch the practice right after, so it's fresh on
your mind. And every part of that is coaching and
critiquing how can we get better, whether it's a footwork drill,
whether it's two hands on the pocket, it could be
particular reads. So you're getting instantaneous feedback almost on a
daily basis. And so you do have to have thick

(15:55):
skin because I think there's a lot of players out
there that take a I mean all constructive criticism as criticism,
and they go into this little hole and they're too
prideful about the fact that they're not willing to understand
the coaches just making a point. He's not trying to
attack you personally. He's trying to make you a better player.
And it might come off a little harsh at times,

(16:17):
because when you get called out in front of a team,
it is one of those moments where you look in
the mirror and you go, gosh, I don't want to
feel that way again, because you know you let down
your team, and particularly in games. That's the hardest thing is,
you know, at the quarterback position in particular, but any position,
if you make a big mistake in a game that
really swings the momentum and you end up losing that game,
whether it's an interception because you were lazy with your read,

(16:38):
or you didn't have ball security, whatever it might be.
You missed a check at the line of scrimmage that
resulted in a ten yard loss, and now you got
to punt and give them an opportunity to go down
and win. You're your hardish, harshest critic, and you've got
to be able to deal with that, and so you
take I always took that type of coaching as a
way to get better, as hard as it was to
swallow at times.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Someone though, had to instill that in you, meaning there's
an understanding at some point of the person's not trying
to take me down for the sake of them going up.
What they're trying to do is make me better. That's
a hard place to land if you've never had that
instilled into you because and also, I imagine if you've

(17:22):
been really great your whole life, eighth grade, senior in
high school, you're not getting a lot of criticism, and
you get to the next level and all of a sudden,
you're being critiqued. That's probably a different tasting dose of medicine.
It is.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
And I think because of the way my career went,
as you said, I was successful growing up playing sports.
I was recruited by all the big time programs, got
a scholarship to USC. But when I showed up at USC,
I got my humble pie pretty quick. I was readschered.
My first year, sat behind Carson as a backup, never
really played, played some different positions, but I had to

(17:58):
face criticism all the time, and I always felt like
I was going to be the next in line, and
so I had to learn how to deal with adverse see,
and there was times when, quite honest with you, I
would blame the coaches. You know, they're not seeing this,
Oh I was. I was with the twos and everything
was external. You're right, And then all of a sudden
you start to realize, look, all this stuff is happening.

(18:21):
I've got to figure out I got to take some
of the shoulder to blame a little bit, understand how
to make myself better and not play the blame game.
And I think that was something I really started to
learn in college because there was a lot of difficult
days that I went through. Is particularly mentally, where I
wasn't where I wanted to be, wasn't achieving what I
wanted to do. I was sitting there kind of wasting away,

(18:43):
and it was how am I going to become better today?
And that's just kind of the mentality. And then I
also took the ft approach, like screw it, Like I
can't worry about all the rest of the stuff. All
I can do is worry about myself and how I
can get myself better today.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
I think that's the line of there's a line of
quitting to being good. In that line of realizing that
you can control you and that everything coming at you
isn't because they're against you. That's where you go good
to great when you can actually take feedback that doesn't
feel good and turn it into good. Because I think

(19:21):
we've both been in situations too where the attack is
coming and you understand the attack is personal and it's
not to actually make you better. It's for a reason
the attacker has some sort of re But then when
you can differentiate and understand that people are the people
that are on your side are just trying to make
you better. And this uncomfortableness is like any other uncomfortableness
in life, Like if you grow, it hurts physically, mentally, emotionally,

(19:43):
if there's any growth, it hurts if you're twelve years
old and you have a growth spurt, it hurts if
you read a book and you're growing emotionally, intellectually, spiritually,
like that is difficult, that's time. So any growth hurts,
But it's understanding the difference and who's trying to hurt
you and who's allowing you to hurt so you can

(20:04):
get better. Yes, the practicing is interesting that you bring
up because listen, I tapped out high school football. We

(20:26):
didn't film practices. When did practices start to get filmed
for you? Because I feel like that would be a
whole different ballgame. Like I felt I got to practice
a lot harder if I knew there was a camera
on right. It was.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Honestly, when I got to college, they you film every
single practice any in high school, No, we just filmed
filmed the games, that's right. Yeah, they got the terrible
footage up top top of the bleachers, and you come
in the next day on Saturday morning. You got donuts
laid out and you're gonna watch the film and you
got to your coach is yelling at you a little bit.
But then when you get to college, it kind of

(21:00):
becomes that professional type setting. Right, They're gonna critique every
single thing you do. You're gonna talk about it, you're
going to diagnose it, You're going to try to learn
through the film. And you can learn so much by
just watching yourself on a daily basis. And the other
thing that I really benefited from was watching a guy
like Carson Palmer, like his mechanics, how he handled himself,

(21:20):
his different footwork. I could watch that and then try
to emulate those things as well. So when you watch
somebody doing something at a really high level, I always
learned a lot from that as well watching film. So
even in the offseason, I'd go and watch some of
the most successful quarterbacks of the previous season. What are
they doing well. What routes are they completing? Why are
they being successful? Is it because they're getting through the reads?

(21:41):
Is its concepts? What might it be that I can
start to apply to my game.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
I would ask if practice was more intense because it
was always being filmed. But then I was thinking when
I did a show like Dancing with the Stars and
they recorded practice the entire time because they were looking
for any nugget, not just in the practice, but any
sort of drama, anything to make a storyline up, right,
And the first like three days of practice, you're very

(22:05):
aware there's a camera there. But then the camera's just
there and you're just on with your normal life, and
like I wanted to win. I strive to be better
at everything I do, just about and so naturally I
work very hard. But that extra camera intensity wasn't there
any longer because there was a camera there. It was
just what I put on me.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
My assumption is that is a bit how practice feels
if it's being recorded. At first, you're like, oh, I
got to be so precise a practice, and then either
you're a precise person or you're not. You kind of
forget that the camera is there, right, it's just.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
It's naturally what happens at the NFL practice, I mean
college NFL practices as they film it, and so you
just get used to that routine. Is you know that
it's just another tool, another mechanism for them to use
to go back evaluate you. You can evaluate yourself. And
we spend so much time watching film and also now
with the new technologies that they have in these programs

(23:03):
where you can break down down from the distance of
three to six, six to nine ten plus and start
to learn that these these all these teams have these
specific defenses that they run in this down and distance
and so it's also a tool that really helps you. You
can watch all their blitz packages, you know, all their
overload blitz and so it prepares you to how to

(23:25):
protect yourself against certain blitz is where to go with
the offensive line. So it's really fascinating when you use
film to your advantage, how much you can learn out
of it.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Technology itself is fascinating in preparation. My brother in law
is one of the coaches on the Arkansas softball team,
and so going up and just working out with them
a little bit or hitting balls, but they have a
cage a pitching machine and they can emulate the movement
and the pitches of the pitchers they're about to face.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Seriously.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
So yeah, so it's a computer. If they know she
throws twenty six percent rise balls, they can program it
for the bad or there. In baseball they can do this.
You know, they have like I have a golf simulator
with a big screen, but in baseball they can have
a pitcher. You know, let's say you're up against Randy

(24:18):
Johnson's they put a seven foot guy up and they
can emulate his fastballs, says, and do it at the
ratio that he does it.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
It's unbelievable how quickly it changes, too, because even by
the tail end of my career, they started to bring
in this program where you'd put on it's like an oculus, right,
and you're sitting there and it has the defensive side
of the ball there and it's got your guys on
this side. But you can watch the film as if
you're going through your reads or making your calls at

(24:48):
the line of scrimmage with an actual defense in front
of you that looks real. So it's just another way
to visualize and see defenses and get more reps. And
time on task and this is all something that was
new to me. I was like, this is incredible.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's a big Jaden Daniels thing, like he did it
at LSU and then when he came to Washington was
I must have this here. I remember talking about that. Yeah,
we talked to them about that. On this show, we
do have Bruce Buffer coming up, who is the ring
announcer for UFC. His line is.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's tarm I hope that was right.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's good, that's good, that's right, right right, that's right.
It was beautiful. Yea, yeah, thank you.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
So before we get Bruce, we have a game called
who Said It? Bruce is known for his iconic it's
time that he yells before UFC match. So, as you
can see, this has all been redacted, so I do
not know what the lines are going to be. Oh great,
So I just had to set up here. So Kevin
is going to go through some of the most infamous
quotes of all time and we're gonna see if we
can guess who said them. Are are we getting different

(25:45):
ones or we get the same ones?

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Different ones?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Uh so he'll read five for each of us. We'll
see how many we can get. All right, you want
to go one one or you want to go one
to three four five, one to three.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Four five, I'll go one, two, three four five.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Okaya first, can read or Brandon ovir take keep score
over there?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Oh I got score too, buddy.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
All right, all right, I may have a haven't seen this, No.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know. I literally this is the page. I
don't want to cheat because it's not fun for me.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Okay, good, I have the actual one.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I bet you're super competitive, like in board games and.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Stuff that I want to win. I can see that,
but I don't want to win anything, not by being awesome. Okay,
let's go be awesome. Okay.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
One question for you guys.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
Do you want me to read it as they said
it or read it like as bland and boring as possible?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Just read it straightforward, Just read it, not as an
not Well if there's an accent on it, though, that
gives it away.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Just read it as you Okay, normal, and we'll just
try to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Okay, who's first?

Speaker 4 (26:42):
Bobby's first? I'll be doing I'm doing five in a row,
doing five in a row go practice. We're talking about practice.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Okay, that's Alan I Everson practice practice.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yes, okay.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Number two, when you're rich, you don't write tricks. You
don't write checks, straight cash homie.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Oh the back part is Randy Moss.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I wouldn't have got that from the beginning. When you're rich,
you don't right checks, but straight cash, homie. I got
Randy Moss. And then then I mooned the camera fakely
with my fake pants.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
Two for two so far. Number three, you play to
win the game. Hello, you play to win the game.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
You play to win the game. Hello. Okay, I got it.
This is not for you.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I know, I just got it.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
I can see him.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Yeah, who do you coach for?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Well, the Vikings in Arizona? Are those correct?

Speaker 4 (27:36):
He might have at some point, but not with this quote.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Wrap Raiders Colts. It's not Jim Mora. Is that who
you're thinking?

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, it's not.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
No, it's not Jim Moore. You're thinking of practice. Yeah,
it's because Jim Moore is an old white guy. This
is a black dude. Yep.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Oh, yeah, I know exactly who it is. He did
coach for the Cardinals in Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, and I just can't think of his name. I'm
not going to accept an any help. I'll miss it.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Okay, Herm Edwards, you were getting there?

Speaker 2 (28:06):
He was on the Gens said, I'm thinking of Yes,
that's what I was thinking of. I was not thinking
of harm Edwards.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Who are you thinking of?

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Any Green?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yes? Oh that's what I was seeing in my head
because he's Arizona and the Vikings. Yes, yeah, okay, I
messed okay, And he was trying to like, I don't
know why he's trying to help a guy's compete because
I feel insulted that he feels like he needs to
give me charity. A second, like he was giving me
wrong charity. So maybe he was like he was he
gained sabotage me go ahead.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Number four.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
You will never see any player play in the entire country.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
You will never see.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Any player that was I knew he'd get a college
one problem.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's the wall.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Hold on, I got to hear this one.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Read it again. But that plaque is up on the
wall on the Florida Football Complex. If I'm saying that, really, you.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
Will never see any player in the entire country play
as hard as I will play for the rest of
this season.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
After loss after loss.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yeah, well he's going to.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Play hard, all right, go ahead, Okay, And by the way,
this these aren't all football, just so we're clear.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
I figured when I got that iverson one forgot about
that one. Okay.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Number five, I've always said, throwing a club shows you care.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, so I don't know this one, but I'm gonna
context clue this one. I've always said throwing a club
shows you care. So it would either have to be
Fred Flintstone or a golfer. That's true, true, I'm I'm
gonna remove Fred Flintstone. Throwing a club is somebody who's going.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
To be.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
It's it's got to be a big golfer. So there's
only a few that wouldever. It's definitely a golfer, but
a bit. But for a quote to last, it's gonna
have to be Tiger or Phil or Jack Nicholas. You
know this.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
No, I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I'm just gonna go Tiger.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
It is John Daily, John, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
He would have definitely been the obviously.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
That is like the most obvious John Daly. I know
that sounds like it's the darkansis.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I feel like I'm not.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Going to be good at this game.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Give me three out of five, got it right?

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Really good? Five, really good Bobby.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Five Okay, Matt, you're tinny green.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
Number one, do your job, Bill Belichick. Okay, you gave
him his own coach. I know, I know you give him.
I gave you an Arkansas, didn't give him my wife.
I'd have got that one. You gave him his own coach,
my guy, Go ahead, a couple of How about how
about this one here?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
My name is Tom Brady, who said that, yeah, got
it okay.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
To be the man, you have to beat the man.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
To be the man, you've got to beat the man.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh, this one's like the easiest one of every single one.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Really, this is one of Bobby's favorites.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
This is yeah, yeah, yeah, Charles Barkley.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
What it is, Bobby, So it's Bobby Bones.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Son of a good Charles Barkley, so close far away.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Number three. The ceiling is the roof.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
That was my roofer yesterday, coming over to check out.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
You have an issue at the storm A little bet
our yard hasn't. And I don't know my own yards.
I'll put myself there because it's been flooding and storming here,
so you can't like do it during a storm apparently,
So yeah, I feel you. Anyway, get the question.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
The roof is the ceiling? Yeah, no, ceiling is the roof?
Ceiling is roof?

Speaker 2 (31:34):
No idea?

Speaker 6 (31:35):
Michael Jordan, I would at that at halftime of the
North Carolina game when he said that we're viral about
six seven years ago.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Maybe wait he said that, he said it Carolina's the
older Michael Jordan. Yeah, got it.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Yeah, yeah, so you got one out of three so far.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, I'm really struggling.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
Okay, one out of three, all right, and here we go.
I am the greatest. I said that even before I
knew I was.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I am the greatest.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I don't know it, but if I were to context it,
if I were to context it, I know who I
would guess, But I do not know it. Who's Bolt?

Speaker 3 (32:12):
No, but I would I mean.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's a good guess that is.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Yeah, I would have guess Lebron Muhammad Ali.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh that's a tough one.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yeah, that's a tough one.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
I mean you could have given me like sting like
a butterfly.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
I mean, well, that's too obvious. I already gave you
do your job.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
But if he would have had sting like a butterfly,
that's not it. I know that's the wrong quote too.
That would have really thrown people off.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
All right, okay, last one here. I love me some me,
I love me some me.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Gosh, I know this quote.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
I know the quote.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
All right, go ahead tell me because I lost. I'm awful.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
It's t O. Yep. I found a picture t O
and I sitting at a random chair. Oh yeah, like
fifteen years ago. I don't know what we're doing together.
There's a picture. And when I played ball with Teo
a few months ago at the Major League Baseball Celebrity
All Star Softball Game, it's first time IVE never met him.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
My mind. He's an impressive human, like impressive special of
a human.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I watched him hit a home run and a with
a softball slow pitch in a baseball park like not
the home run. I had a home run, but it
was it was.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Small, smaller, smaller fence. They brought it in.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
He hit it out of the baseball field.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
He's a freak of It was wild. Yeah, I threw
it with a one off season. He was like forty
one at the time, and I don't know if he
was trying to make a comeback what he was. He
came out there and I was like, oh my god,
this guy is an absolute freak of nature. Like he
could still run incredibly fast, great hands, big physical. I mean,
he was a beast.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
When I think of too, I think of when the
Eagles there was there was a contract dispute and he's
doing sit ups.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Oh yeah with the media outside of the outside of
his house. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Oh yeah, that was great it.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
That was a good game.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Yeah, that was fun.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
I liked especially because I won.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah, he crushed me. I mean I was so far
off with some of my guess and.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
You got a Bill Belichick question who that was a layup?

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah that I needed a few more.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
What would what would your if you had to have
a would attribute to you even if you make it
up right now? You really put me on this So mine,
I did a whole book on it, which is, well,
mine's easy.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Now yours is easy?

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Would you know what mine is? Mike the quote, Yeah,
what would we fail?

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Until you don't?

Speaker 2 (34:23):
No fight, grind, repeat, same thing, same, same, same thing, right,
Like there are three stages. There's the fight, there's the
grind that nobody sees while you're doing the work. The fight.
Everybody says they want to fight, they want to get started.
The grind is all the hard work that nobody sees.
It actually matters that sometimes you fail and have to
start back over. And that's the repeat. So fire, grind, repeat.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
It has been the.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
But that's easy. Like I've had that, Yeah, you've had this.
Yours would be like, why did I buy this printer?

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Why did I buy this printer today?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
What's the deal?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Mistakes? Mistakes make you learn?

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Okay, okay, keep whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Adversity, adversity comes advancement.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Okay, see there we go. Is that yours? Yeah? What
is it? No? Not? Fine? Yes? I like it. I
like that quote. I've used that quote.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Yes, rue, Adversity comes advancement.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
I think it's an excellent quote. Oh that's good exactly.
And he's discounting himself for.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Me, I was discounted. Well, I was just like, gosh,
I haven't really come up with my wife mantra yet.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
What about and just bear with me, I'm bearing What
about staying like a butterfly?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah that doesn't really make sense, but have you ever
been stung? By a butterfly, No me neither.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Can you get stung by a butterfly? No?

Speaker 3 (35:27):
No, no, okay, all.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Right, we'll come back with Bruce Buffer.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
It's time nice all right.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Up next, we'll talk to Bruce Buffer. He is the
UFC Octagon pre fight announcer. He's known for us saying
it's time. When he does that, I'm ready, It's time
for me too to pay attention.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
I'm so fired up when that happens. Like there's some
the build up before the fight, they do all the
pre fights and then when you get in that ring
and he comes in and gets that crowd fired up
and he goes it's time.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
You're like, okay, it's on.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I wonderful. And we'll ask him if he like tried
out a bunch of stuff like it's about time to
do it. It random, He like workshops and stuff for sure. Yeah,
it's about to go down. Here we go. Time he
goes back and makes notes. Yeah, he's self scouts himself

(36:36):
Follow him on Instagram as well at Bruce buffer UFC.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Here we are.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
We got.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Hey, Bruce, thank you for the time. Man.

Speaker 7 (36:45):
My pleasure, my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
We were talking about you before you came on and
talking about a lot of the things that you're involved in,
and I want to get to that. But one of
the things that I had mentioned was I wonder if
you workshopped any of your You know, it's time is
like what you're known for, But did you have like
other versions until you landed on it's time or it's
like it's time to do it. I don't know. Do

(37:07):
you try other stuff?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
No?

Speaker 7 (37:09):
No, no, Actually what happened is at the beginning of
the show I used to say it's time to begin
the ultimate fighting chumpionship like that. And then when Dana
took over the show back in ninety nine, I went
in for the what I call the Godfather meeting. You know,
we had a little head to head about everything going on,
and he preferred I didn't say that at the beginning,

(37:31):
and he told me about one announcement that I made
that uh was one of his favorites, which was when
Tito Ortiz fought Evan Tanner in Atlantic City at a
previous fight and he asked to keep that same tempo,
which was perfect for me because to me, it's not
what I say, it's how I say it, and I
like to be quick to the point. Bam bam, punch, punch,

(37:52):
you know, get it in every morning when I woke up,
wake up. Rather, I had a habit and still do
looking in the mirror and saying it's time, meaning like
it's time to be the best I can be. It's
time to have the greatest day I can have. So
so I never was phrase driven because I managed my brother,
the legendary Michael Buffer, and I trademarked that phrase and

(38:15):
together we market it to where it is today. Every
announcer wanted to have a let's get ready to or
be a phrase driven announcer. I wanted to stick with
just again, not what I say, how I say it.
So it was about seven years into the show that
I started saying it's time at the main event because
I figured the fighters have been fighting training now for
eight to ten weeks, the fans have been watching for

(38:36):
five hours give or take. It's all culminating into this
main event, the moment we've all been waiting for.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
It's time.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
It's just when it goes so then I first did
it then, and I realized it was catching on in
Brazil about two thousand and three when I went and
I did it in front of twenty thousands Portuguese speaking people,
and the entire arena set it back to me at
the same time, which was amazing, and I thought, oh wow,
then something's going on here. And now it's honorably so

(39:04):
and humbly and it's the greatest compliment in the world
that pretty much everywhere I go now they repeat it
back along with many of the other things I'll say,
like this is the main event, and now as an announcer,
it's a very fulfilling experience to hear that come back
at me.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Chris.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
I mean, I watched these events and you obviously set
the tone for them, but how much time do you
have to just utilize to working on these guys' names,
because there are so many names that I'm sitting there, like,
how does he announce that so flawlessly?

Speaker 7 (39:37):
Thank you again, appreciate that. Here's the thing. I don't rehearse.
There's a rehearsal voice, and there's an organic voice, so
I like to feel the energy of the crowd. But
the one thing I do do because it takes me
three to five hours to prepare the fight cards that
I bring in, And actually, while I'm doing the fight cars,
I'm actually absorbing all the information. The UFC is a

(39:58):
very well oiled machine, and we have sound files that
go out to everybody and the fighters saying their names.
So I listen in ten and I write them phonetically
on the cards, but as I write it phonetically, I'm
absorbing them in my brain. And I'll say it a
couple of times to myself so that when I go
out in the octagon and do it, boom, let it fly.
And sometimes before a show John Annick, who's probably one

(40:22):
of the finest commentators in sports, he and I will
go back and forth and make sure we're totally in
sync on the name. So I'm saying it like the
commentators are saying.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
It, so we do it right. You made your debut
back in ninety six. I was looking at some old
video online. It's weird to say video, but I'm old
enough that we had video at one point. So back in.

Speaker 7 (40:41):
Nineteen, I'm older than you, so I remember VHF. So
it's all good.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
So back in ninety six. But then I also was
reading about you training and you having a black belt,
which came first.

Speaker 7 (40:52):
The black belt or the UFC.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah, yeah, like being a part, like being announcing fighting
or you training to fight.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (40:59):
I've been training in martial arts since i was twelve,
and I've attained three black belts. When I was younger
growing up in Malibu after moving there from Philadelphia when
I was fifteen, I started training with Chuck Norris's fighting
partners and we would just spa fight and surf. I
mean that was my growing up. I never even lifted

(41:20):
waste until my twenties. I mean it just concentrated on
surfing and hundreds of push ups and some curls and
all that. But fighting has been in my blood since
I was born. My dad had me watching boxing, you know,
every Saturday, Sunday, the whole bit. This was part of
our lifestyle. I've always been into fighting, always been into
the martial arts. And when I went to the first

(41:41):
UFC back in nineteen ninety six and cast for Wyoming,
which was USC six, which I did not announce, I
realized this is my world and I had my brother
announced three of the events, Michael and I had to
pull him for the events because he had a huge
contract with WCW Wrestling, which he loved, and he couldn't
have continued at the pace the UFC was going. And

(42:03):
it took me about a year and a half to
convince UFC that they needed me and the octagon, that
I would help them. I'm a brand builder and I
had a lot of media contacts working with my brother
and building it, and I realized that this was a
spectacle back then that needed to be refined. But I
realized it was going to be one of the biggest
things in fighting sports, if not the biggest event in
fighting sports. So I knew that was my world. I

(42:25):
wanted to get into it, and long story cuts short,
convinced them to make me the announcer, and I said,
I'll do everything I can, you know, out of pure
loyalty to the brand, to help build this and be
more than just an announcer for the company. And that
was the best poker hand, big poker player. That was
the best poker hand I ever played in my life.
To get into this twenty nine years ago.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
And being a fan of the sport too, could you
talk about what's your most memorable event that you did
the pre game or pre fight, you know, announcing for.

Speaker 7 (42:56):
It's really hard because I've it as thousands of events,
so I have many many favorite events. I could coin
a couple for you. Obviously a historic speaking the finale
to the first Ultimate Fighter Series when Forrest Griffin and
Stephen Bonner fought each other in the main event. That
was probably a pinnacle right there, because, as I always

(43:18):
liked to say, Spike TV made us and we made
Spike TV. There was just it went from a five
share four share up to like a twelve give or take,
which you, of course, understanding TV ratings, know what that's like.
And it was an immediate explosion, you know. The show
became a hit, we took off, and when Dana White
and the Fertida Brothers bought the UFC back in ninety nine,

(43:40):
I realized at that point that we had a chance
to become and fulfill that becoming the biggest sport fighting
event in the world with their guidance and financial backing
and business acumen. So that was a big event. UFC
one hundred when brock Lester Frankmuir was a big event
for me. I was being egged on by everybody for
eight months thanks to Joe Rogan to do with. I mean,

(44:03):
I have my one to eighty and ninety turn and
all this stuff people coin and Joe's like, well, can
you do a three sixty right? And suddenly I was
being egged on by the Internet and the fans, which
thank god for the fans of the UFC, they're incredible.
And I pulled off at three sixty. You know, I
jumped up and spun three hundred sixty degrees and said
brock Lester's name. So personally for me, that was, you know,

(44:27):
a high moment. But you know, every time I think
that there's the best show ever, then two or three
months later, another great show happens. I mean, it's just
USC is providing so much entertainment, you know, it's amazing.
It's like, if you ask me what the greatest fight
is very hard to say. I could name a bunch
of them.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
With UFC and MMA becoming more embedded in pop culture,
a few names come to mind. First, it's probably to
me like Chuck Ladell, and then it's probably like a
Connor McGregor and Ronda Rowsey like those names end up
piercing not just MMA fans, but touching people who are
just general sports fans or even just into pop culture. Uh,

(45:10):
what have been and who have been the fighters that
you've seen that have kind of transcended the sport to
bring more people back into the sport with it.

Speaker 7 (45:17):
Well, you mentioned key names there, Ronda. I mean, women's
MMA became what it is, let's face it, because of
Ronda and her rise to fame along with all the
other women that have fought so gallantly in the octagon.
And it's amazing. I watch I love watching the women fight.
They bring it all every day, as do the men.
Connor McGregor obviously a big boost to the show. Chuck

(45:38):
Withdell George Saint Pierre probably one of the greatest fighters
ever to enter the octagon. I loved and respected internationally.
John Jones being as Dana White says, and I'll have
to agree with Dana White, the goat one of the
greatest fighters, if not the greatest fighter of all time
when he fights, If he fights, and I think he
will fight Aspinall Tom Aspinall come sometime this year. That'll

(46:00):
be probably the biggest fight ever. You know, then you
have others that have run in a cross culture of people,
Habib Demoga Metov, you know, bringing in tons of fans
from you know, Russian uh and all that, and all
the areas over there. It's there's just there's just so many.
But you you did mention key factors. I mean there's

(46:23):
every couple of years, three years or so, it comes
along an it factor fighter who's got it all, you know,
both the way they fight in the octagon, the way
they present themselves outside of the octagon. I measure fighters
not just with the way they perform in the octagon,
but how they handle thoselves with the public, how they
are outside of the octagon, because I truly believe in
role model images. Uh you know, we're we're craving role
models these days in the world for young people to follow.

(46:45):
And I think it's very important that key fighters are
famous fighters, if not all the fighters realize that they
are role models for young people and they should handle
themselves in the best way possible. Upcoming people Patty Pimlet
out of the UK. He's he's a very hot neutcoming
fighter who has a big fight against Michael Chandler this weekend.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (47:07):
Again, I could go on and on and on. There's
so many there's so many personalities driving the sport.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Do you think now the perception of what the UFC
is has changed dramatically from when you guys began, from
like the brutality of the sport that it's so much
more accepted in our culture now everybody buys in and
the pay per view and everything else. But back when
you probably first got started, it was people's perception of
it was much different.

Speaker 7 (47:32):
Oh my perception I was different too, even though I
understood the fighting, the term mixed martial arts wasn't even
coined until about six or seven years into the event.
And in the beginning, again we get back to that
it was a spectacle, right, it was blood sport. It
was like what style is going to beat what style?
So it needed to be refined, and in turn it

(47:53):
was refined and right now what you're dealing with, And
I'm proud to say I'm part of a sport that
went from beginning spectacle to mainstream sports and it's respected
worldwide now as a result. So it's a definitive difference,
right most definitely, and I think it's very well needed.
You know, Eventually, I think you're going to see mixed

(48:15):
martial arts in the Olympics, because really, without the elbows
and the knees probably wouldn't be allowed. But you know,
you take judo and boxing and wrestling, and I think
they have taekwondo, but if you put all those together,
you have mixed martial arts, right, So eventually it could
become an Olympic event. I would very much bet on
the fact that.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
It will be.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
I'm curious about its time columns because and you can
go to the website it's time BB, which is it's
time Bruce Buffer. But like, what does it smell like?
And then how involved in the smell process? And then
what do you what's the goal of what you wanted
to smell like?

Speaker 7 (49:07):
Well, yes, it is right here, yeah, because I haven't
even put it on today, so let me just give it.
You know, I've always liked uh, you know calvil Clan
obsession was a clone I used to wear all the time.
I don't like to walk in a room and people go, WHOA,
what what does that person I have on? You know,

(49:28):
so very simply I wanted to create a sensual, charismatic cologne,
subtle that women obviously would love to you know, smell
when you're around men of course appreciated too and not
be overbearing. And there's a company I work with, my
partners in England and as far as far as being

(49:50):
involved in the process, I would receive, you know, the
coffee grounds and three or four different scents after we
talked about what I was wanted to put together. I
love the vanilla scent and the whole bit. And my
partner christ and I, you know, we did the scent
test and we picked the one that worked out perfectly
and we came up with that and we just came

(50:12):
out with the new Iconic, which is another one that's
in a black bottle. And I was happy to say
that when I first came out on Amazon, it was
a top seller on Amazon. It still sells extremely well
on Amazon, but at this time BB dot com thank
you for quoting the site. There's not just a cologne,
but there's a whole line of toiletries there. Because I'm
I've always been very big on taking care of myself.

(50:36):
Women take care of themselves. For us as men, we
should take care of ourselves for women obviously, also for
ourselves and grooming is a very key part. So smell right,
be right, stay right, man, I'm going to be very
involved in the set process, very involved the set process now,
especially that you put it on in front of us.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
I mean, yeah, I know I can smell it through
the camera right now. It's smells fantastic. But this guy's
also he mentioned it before, But you're a legit poker player,
like you've played in some major tournaments.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
You're at the main table.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Can you talk a little bit about your passion for
poker and how you got into that.

Speaker 7 (51:09):
Yeah, well, I'm a very creative it's going to be
a competitive person. I think creative too, but competitive person.
And when I was nine, my dad taught me how
to play poker, how to play blackjack, and it taught
me about the horse race. He said, the only way
to follow a horse with a shovel, don't bet on him.
So he's just telling me not to go make it
a habit of betting at the track, which is a
fun day for a day. But I'm not a race

(51:31):
better with respect all the people that are, of course,
because horse race is incredible. As a matter of fact,
I just agreed to announce a huge horse race coming
up that I have to keep a little quiet right now,
but you'll see in May on NBC, which I'm pretty
proud of. Poker is a mental game, it's a competitive game.
It's a game of skill. I call it BSc ball,

(51:52):
skill and confidence, and you need a little twenty percent
love factor to win. But I love the competition. I
love reading the people at the table and the personalities involved,
and playing in the World Series of Poker, the WSOP
events is something that all poker players who played tournaments
aspire to have a chance to do and love to do.
It's the super Bowl of Poker. I played in an

(52:16):
event which was the fifty thousand dollars high Roller last summer,
and it was against normally the main event has like
eight thousand or more people in it, which I've done
very well in the last time I played it, I
made Day five and placed four hundred and seventy six
or something. But in the high Roller event I entered
last year, which was my first tournament I played since
COVID because I've been so busy, I final tabled the

(52:39):
tournament and I came in eighth and it was one
hundred and seventy two players of they're all the best
players in the world, Phil Ivy, Daniel Dgron Who Helmuth.
They were all in the tournament, so it was a
real achievement for me personally and a lot of street
cred to make that final table. I one time was

(53:00):
said to be by cardplayer dot com the top ten best.
I'm not I'm not big on the worst celebrity, to
be honest with you, because I think we're all created equal.
But it's it said top ten best celebrity poker player
in the world, and the other people in there were
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Tilley. Gabe Kaplin was number one
from Welcome Back Cotter who's a huge cash player. So
I love poker, keeps my competition going and love winning money.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
You know you mentioned that you and your brother work together.
You got to work together for a long time, But
you guys did not grow up together, right.

Speaker 7 (53:31):
No, we're long lost hap brothers. We met each other
when I was twenty eight years old. I saw him
on TV again, being a huge boxing fan of my
dad and my brother Brian and I, you know, watching
boxing all our lives. Out came this handsome debonair James
Bond looking individual with that famous five words let's get

(53:52):
ready to rumble. And when they conrand his name on
the screen, Michael Buffer, I'm like, WHOA, Who's this right?
As I own telemarketing companies in my twenties and thirties
and before the inner and I never saw my last
name in a phone book in the United States, so
it kind of really struck me. Funny, los story cut short,
my dad never told me that he had been married

(54:15):
at the age of twenty when he was going over
to serve in World War Two. It was a brief
marriage and he came back a divorce and suit, but
a child was born, and last time he saw the
child was when he was two and a half. And
Michael was raised under the name of Hubert by foster
parents great as he calls it, leave it to Beaver upbringing.

(54:38):
And when he went in the army at twenty, they said,
your birth certificate says you're Buffer. Because he was never
formally adopted, so they said, you're not Michael Huber, You're
Michael Buffer. And had that not happened, and the events
had led him into being the legendary, greatest, you know,
announcer of all times, as I like to say, in
most everybody believes he we wouldn't be sitting here talking

(55:01):
right now, because we did when he did see him
on TV and and my dad called a local arena
here in Los Angeles to receive a country club left
a message for Michael to call him back, and Michael
called him back. That got together for lunch, and it
turned out to be his long lost son, and we
all got together and we got along famously, you know,
everybody got along great. And four years later I sold

(55:22):
two companies I was doing incredible with, but I was
burned out, not happy with what I was doing. And
I had an epiphany and I said, Michael, I need
to become your manager and your partner. I want to
make you Richard more famous you ever dreamed, and put
you everywhere in the world and TV, make video games, toys,
this that, the other trademark this phrase properly. He had
never even made a hat or T shirt at that

(55:43):
time with the saying on it. And I said, I
will saw this, quit with the money, having the bank
and make all this happen. He said, how are you
going to do all that? I said, I really don't know,
I said, but I'll figure it out. If I'm going
to give this up. I'm going to make it happen.
And that was, you know, thirty five plus years ago,
and now we're here where we are today.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
It's unbelievable story. I mean, if you think about it,
and then when you guys met, you guys obviously hit
it off. It's it's one of those things. I've got
two brothers. I can't even imagine that but going into
business with them. And then my question is, do you guys,
how often do you guys talk about different like phrases?
Does he ever critique you in terms of your performance

(56:24):
or vice versa?

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Are you guys like that?

Speaker 3 (56:26):
What type of relationship do you have, Like do you
guys bust balls a little bit? Like, well, talk to
us a little bit about that.

Speaker 7 (56:31):
Yeah, we have a great relationship. It's he's very supportive
of me. I'm very supportive of him. I said, do
you have any tips? Way back in the beginning, is
you know what, watch yourself on video. It's the hardest
thing you'll ever do. That'll be your teaching aid. So
otherwise can't offer you that much more. And I just
believe that I needed to go out and get it.
As you guys know, the term in this business. Reps
get as many reps as I have. I look back
to when I started at USC eight and buy them

(56:53):
on Puerto Rico in nineteen ninety six, and it's like no, no, no, no, no.
You know, it's completely different. So it just builds from there.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
You know.

Speaker 7 (57:03):
I never wanted to be Frank Sinatra's you. I wanted
to create my own style. And I told myself that
if in the first three years I don't create my
own style and be respective for what I do, that's
going to give it up, which I would have, right,
But it went the path that it went, and I'm
very happy to say, you know, it's I'm thankfully and
hopefully respected by ever Briddy for exactly what I do.

(57:24):
You no no competition, no competition, no busting balls, just
total support. We kid around once in a while, but
that's all you have.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Se three fourteen as a Saturday, And I know Michael
Chandler a little bit. He lives around here, He's been
over he does, he's been on the show before, and
so you know, I think he was really looking forward to,
you know, the past fight he didn't get to have
because of an injury. But he's going to fight you know,
Patty the Battye. To me, that's the most exciting fight
on the card. I mean you mentioned that earlier, but

(57:52):
speak to that about Chandler specifically, like if he wins this,
is it renewal for him to because again he's an
older fighter at this point. If he loses the fight,
is that kind of the end for him being a
part of the big card.

Speaker 7 (58:07):
Michael Chandler's type of fighter, winner lose. He puts on
the best performance that we all respect in some of
the most exciting fights you'll ever see. So I never
pick winners in fights. May the best man or woman win.
Michael Chandler. He wins his fight against Patty Pimlant, he's
back in the mix. Patti Pimant wins his fight Michael Chandler,
he's higher in the mix. So it's not the end
of the career for definitely not for Patty, and I
don't feel for Michael because Michael is such a true warrior,

(58:30):
octagon warrior that you know, everybody wants to see him fight.
He's a highly likable fighter, respected by every UFC fan.
I don't know who doesn't respect him except other fighters,
you know, as they like to talk about each other
when they're going to go to war. But this is
a big fight for Michael. There's no question that first
round of this fight is going to be a tell
all for sure. Most definitely, Patty's usually confident. This event

(58:54):
is stacked from beginning prelim to to on. The fight
between Bryce Mitchell and John Silva is one that's very
highly anticipated as his chandler, and of course the event
with Bolkanowski and Diego Lopez.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
So before you go, I want to make sure everybody
knows it's time bb dot com for the cologne. But
also if you want to get a cameo video and audio,
just go to Bruce's website. Go to Bruce Buffer dot
com and you can get one of those as well.
And then there's also Puncher's Chance Bourbon. Now I'm not
a drinker, but it says award winning, so I'm assuming
it's got to be pretty good.

Speaker 7 (59:28):
It's got it right there, lad metal right here, and
we've got a variety of it, and I'm very proud
of the bourbon. You can go to puncher Chansbourbon dot
com in order directly for yourself. Sorry to mean to

lot of fun and I love making people happy, so
I love doing audios and videos.

I really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much. Gentlemen,
Kevin Mike, I really appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Thank you. Ruth. What's the best round of golf you
ever played? Do you have a best score, best score?

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
I'm an average golfer, but I did shoot a seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Oh so jealous. I've never broken eighty, so.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
I mean that has always been my goal. Just give
me one time, and I think it truly has only
been one time. I was at a course called Oh
Hoopy Down in Georgia, fantastic place. Go down there, I
get invited, don't really know the group too well. I
knew one of my buddies that I got the invitation from.
So we go down and I tell them I'm a twelve.

(01:01:03):
I played out of my mind. They were so pissed off.
One of those days. One of those days, yeah, and
I had no apologies for it. I was like, guys, look,
this is what this is what it is, seventy I
was hitting putts, shipping. It just felt, it felt so good.
And then then the next day it was back to myself.
I told you guys, I'm a twelve as well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Somewhere. Oh, when I was doing rich Eisen, one of
the guys was like, hey, what's your handicap? And I
was like, I don't know. You can look it up
in my GHI n again for like twelve point six
or something. And so my best round ever is eighty one.
And if I wore to bogie the eighteenth hole, I
would have shot a seventy nine. And it was that, Yeah,
it was that. It was that where I ended up

(01:01:46):
shooting like an eight on a part four It right whatever,
And it was only because I got tight going. I'm
back to do it right, Yeah, so I've not broken eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Isn't that a crazy mental sport. It's like the most
the mental grind that you have from hole to hole,
let alone the skill that it takes. But you get
on a roll in your feeling that and then you're
starting to count strokes. The worst thing you can do
is count strokes, and I do because it takes one
hole where you're like, dude, I've been par birdie, parr,
triple boge, triple bogey.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
I mean four holes in, I'm starting to go, all right,
I'm doing if I keep this pace up, Yeah, that's tough.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
And then reality strokes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Biggest celebrity ever played with, coolest celebrity, coolest celebrity, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
I'd say one of the coolest celebrities I've ever played
with was Jerry West. It was out in California and
I got the invite and they knew each other somehow,
some way, and we played a whole round at eighteen
and what an absolute stud. He was like seventy two
at the time, still in incredible shape, said he woke

(01:02:48):
up every morning at around four thirty five, got his
workout in eight well all that stuff, but the dude,
his mind was incredible, and he could play golf, and
just some of the stories he had about him growing up,
his day and age, and also the legends of the
game that he played against. It was a really cool experience.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
That'd have been a cool day just to hear the stories.
And on a day like that, you don't want to
play so bad that it affects like your attitude. So
you're just praying you don't play horrible. If you play
pretty bad, that's okay because that happens. You play really great,
that's awesome too. But it's those days whenever it could
be a real special day, you're just going just don't
fail me. Body, don't fail me his muscle memory, don't

(01:03:29):
because yeah, it's And then you start to feel embarrassed,
or at least I do, Like if I'm playing really bad
with somebody, that I start to be embarrassed, mine I'll cheat.
I played. I played a couple of times with Jordan Speed,
but the first time I played with Speed, and he's
obviously a professional golfer, we bet one hundred bucks a hole,
but really I had to give him one hundred if

(01:03:51):
he birdied, and he had to give me a hundred
if I parved I like that, and so did you
get strokes?

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
No strokes? Oh, but you said to your twelve he's
a scratch golfer. He's taking advantage of you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Why I didn't want strokes? I wanted to play. That
wasn't the purpose. The purpose for me was he already was.
He always given me an advantage, right, like a stroke
a hole basically yeah, so that's yeah, a stroke a hole.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
How'd you make out?

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
I lost one hundred dollars oh on the last hole,
and he was like, no, I don't want your money.
We just spent a whole day doing this and shooting
kind of. I was like, no, no, you'll take my money
or the story's not complete, right like you must have
I have to build money. So that was cool because
to watch him and nothing about his game. And again
I've been lucky to play maybe three times at this
point because we played like a part of three course
together as well. He doesn't swing that hard. It doesn't,

(01:04:43):
I should rephrase it. It doesn't look like anything he's
doing has extreme intensity on it. It looks so easy
and smooth even next to him, but it is not,
and it is so precise, like wild To watch the
control those guys have on that tiny ball in the
control that I don't have. The funniest is Ray Romano.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
Oh you got to play with the Ray. He's he
makes me crack up all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
Have you met him? I have not met him. It's
the same person, and he's hilarious the whole time and
it doesn't stop, and not in a way as I dude,
shut up. He's so like warmly funny the whole time. Yeah,
so that would be like my coolest where it's just
watching him do what he loves, which is golf, watching

(01:05:31):
him do what he does naturally, which is just be
NonStop hilarious right for three hours, even when he's not
trying to be.

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
See, that's a gift within himself. The one guy that
I played with right around COVID was Nate BARGATSI did
I pronounce that right? The last name. And he's actually
really takes his golf seriously. He wants to win. He
does this, but what a cool guy. And this is
right before he really over these last few years has
just blown up. But it was right before that. And

(01:06:00):
he is funny as all get out as well, but
probably not to the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Same way that Ray Ramond. Yeah, Ray is like loudly funny.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Yeah he's not. He's like very concentrated on playing golf.
He wants to do well and he's got that dry
sense of humor. So he's funny. But it's just you're
if you're playing golf, you better be ready to play golf.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
What's the nicest course you've ever played on?

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Nicest course I've ever played on? I'd have to go
with Bandon Dunes. I thought that was the coolest course
in just it was beautiful. You're right on the Pacific Ocean.
They've got six different courses there. It's an experience within itself.
But Bandon Dunes was unbelievable. It's up in Oregon. How
about yourself?

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Probably I'll go just because I've seen it on TV
so many times. I played the Pebble Beach pro am,
which is super cool.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Yeah, Pebble Beach is pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
And there are just holes that are burnt into your
head that you've just seen so many times on television
and when you're playing it, you're like, whoa. You just
can't be taken aback to the point where it affects
your game, right because you like, I don't want to
mess up on this well, I've seen it seventy two
times over the year. So playing that tournament and having
free access, it's like for three days because there were

(01:07:09):
three courses. Spyglass was awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
Spyglass is great.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
And aside from the history of Pebble Beach, Spyglass is
probably a cooler course, but the organism that is Pebble
Beach makes it the coolest course.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
It's probably because I played so poorly when I went
there that I was just like, not my favorite course.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
I can I can see that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
You know, it's reflective of how you felt that day.
If you place yes semi well, you have a different
feeling about the course. If you play terribly, be like
I hate Jerry West, Yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
He's like, put hold me up, kid, have you ever
been to the Masters? Never been to that Master's?

Speaker 3 (01:07:46):
I rock the gear all the time because my brother
goes down and I act like I've been there and
everybody's like, oh, you've been there. I was like, Nope,
never been there. I need to get down there. Have
you been to the Master's?

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Yes? I would like to at with you allowing me
to do this. I'd like to give you the most
name dropping story ever. I love named stories. I love
him too when people give them, honestly, I really enjoy it.
So I've been to the Masters once and one of
our guests on this show, Andy Roddick, I was like, hey,

(01:08:18):
I'm going, like he was it still as one of
our best friends. We don't talk as much as we
used to the states away, but he was like, I'm
going to the Masters. I got four passes. You want
to go? And I'm like, yeah, of course I want
to go. We're gonna go for three days. And he
played in that the day the part three. Yeah. Sure,
so he did that and so it was me, Andy,

(01:08:40):
one of our buddies, and John Legend in a house
for three days.

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
This is pretty awesome. Awesome Is John Legend is coolest? Yes? Yes,
he comes across because every time cool like just the
smoothest talking, the coolest, incredible human. It seems like just
everything that I dreamt about.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
It couldn't be more normal and nicer and cooler, and well,
the beauty of it was is one we would go.
And again, I've only been once, so I'm not an
expert on what you do when you get there, but
everybody runs and puts their chairs down on a green
because once that chair is there, they can go over
they want, but no one can move that chair. That's
their chair. So you have like your little master's chair.

(01:09:20):
You go out, but once it's there, that's your spot.
And so we didn't do that because we didn't know
to do that. We didn't have chairs. We just thought
we'll walk around. Well, if you wanted to follow like Tiger,
or you wanted to see Tiger, it was difficult because man,
the folks, oh man, it was a parade wherever they went,
Tiger Phil. So we went and we sat on a green,
me our friend Andy and John and we set on

(01:09:43):
a green. It was on the back nine and maybe
whatever a part three and we just bet which the
golfers were closer to the whole hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
That's awesome, that's what we actually made it super entertaining.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
We just sat there and bet money the whole time
with the two golfers to come up one hundred bucks,
who gets closer and then if it was so close
we couldn't tell, it would just be a wash carver. Yeah,
And we all also played ping pong and then John
would just sing at the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
House private concerts amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
He would just have his laptop open him that's a
bit of doodoo bad day. It's obviously a singer, but
he also loved to sing. And I just remember thinking,
this is crazy, Like I'm playing Minnie tennis with a
former number one in the world and I'm here sitting
on a couch next to a Grammy winning singer who's
just singing for an hour at a time on his computer,
like just just typing up stuff we'd watch like sports

(01:10:33):
at night, go to the masters of the daytime. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
I got nothing that really compares to that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
And the great part about it was this is it's
been probably eight nine years, I don't know ten years.
You can't have phones in there, so nobody has as
I was going to ask you, because nobody stopped, but
anybody for pictures. So Andy was against offer picture. John
wasn against offp A pictures. There were no there were
no pictures, so everybody could just move as they would
when those two they're famous. They wouldn't have to worry

(01:11:00):
about people going, hey can I get a picture? Everybody
just lived. It's pretty sick.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
It's a little different than the Phoenix. Have you ever
been there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
I've not been. Oh my god, I went last year.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Yeah, I've never seen anything like that. I mean it
is like it's a nightclub during the day that starts
early and does not stop. And I mean people talk
about the exact opposite of the Masters. No phones, no music,
You can't even lay down on the hill. I had
a buddy that said his wife laid down on the
hill for just a second length.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Lean back.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Guy comes up and says, the Masters wants you to
please sit up. So like that there it is just
full rage session. There's like a DJ booth in one
of the things. I mean, people are throwing on the
golf course. I'm going, what is going on right now?

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
It's a great time. It's a great time. Yeah. That
whole is it thirteen? The famous hole? Whatever it is
where that? Yeah, that looks fun. I've had a bunch
of friends who have played that hole in like the
pro am leading up to it. Yes, that's that's cool.
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
I mean, the people watching is unmasked.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
I mentioned a couple weeks ago I didn't have a
favorite NFL team because I didn't grow up with one.
In Arkansas, we didn't have an NFL team. Most people
fell to the Cowboys because Jerry Jones was a former
razorback football player, won a national championship at Arkansas and
Dallas was close. But ever since everybody was a Cowboys
fan and they were winning so much, I would not
allow myself to be a Cowboys fan. So as much

(01:12:36):
of an NFL fan as I am, I don't have
a team, And I said, hey, I don't have a team.
I don't want to be on a frontrunner, but I
also don't want to be on somebody that's just going
to be terrible forever. Like who should I pick? And
we just threw it out there. Has Kevin? Have you
heard from anybody? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Has anybody responded to that?

Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
I haven't heard directly to myself from anybody, but I
went on your instagram, the NFL network instagram that posted
the clip, and we've got some feedback from fans, but
also a mascot.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Oh, there's a mascot that followed me, the Indiana follow me. Yes,
And I wonder if that's why.

Speaker 6 (01:13:08):
Well, it is because he commented on yours, I believe
and the NFL Network post and said where do I
send the gear?

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Oh you're going to get a mascot. What's his name?

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Blue? I believe he's obviously a cult.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Yeah he's.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
Of course, he's not sending me a mascot off to
a mascot. He's going to send you gear that's going
to be awesome. You're gonna have to put on the
head gear. So would you do?

Speaker 6 (01:13:32):
I need to reply yeah, because I've tried to reach
out to him multiple times and I can't DM him
unless he follows me. I'm trying to get him followed back.
But yeah, I'm not cool enough. I guess his name
is Blue, so blue.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
If you're out there and you're listening, give me follow back.
Let's set this up man.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
I'll just message him because he does follow And I wondered,
why is the Colts mascot following me? So okay, so
far the culture in the lead.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Culture in the lead.

Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
A lot of Raiders fans, I will say that, like,
like fans fans are like, come on, join the dark side,
Join the dark side.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
It's so far away though, Yeah, but Vegas is fun
to go too. Let's be honest, is it. Yeah, we'll
take Bruise with us. Yeah, guaranteed he gets calmed to
everywhere he goes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
So in this final segment, I have a top five
list of players who I think belong in a boy
band if we were creating an NFL boy band. Okay,
at number five, Travis Kelcey. He's a confident one who
does all the talking and interviews. Yes, he's, in his

(01:14:33):
mind one hundred the hottest one. And he's the first
one to go solo, like later on he breaks off
and go solo first. And definitely a great dancer too. Yes,
so like he's got he's got all the qualities you
look for for sure in my NFL boy band. Travis Kelcey.
Next up Justin Jefferson. Now, why well, he's the fun
one that actually knows how to dance. There's always one

(01:14:53):
that's really good at dancing, that has like a background
in dance. Yes, and Justin Jefferson, I mean he's the
gritty that's him.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
He is. He actually invented, yes, a whole dance, touchdown
dance my kids do.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
Yes, he's taken the world by storm. Next up, Christian McCaffrey.
He's the pretty one. I can see that he's the
pretty boy lead singer. He's a Nicholas Say He's the
justin Timberlake. Yeah, I like that, even though Jay c
shaw Za was really the heart and soul Evan sync
like Timberlake was the face. He's the Nick Carter.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
You need a face.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Yeah, Christian McCaffrey is our face. Every mom would say
that's that's my favorite. Every guy would secretly like love him,
but have to say he hated him.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
Yeah, I don't like him, but you listen to the
song all the time when nobody's in the car.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Jordan and I. He's the Jordan and I to this group.
Next up Ceedee Lamb. Now ceedee Lamb, Ceedee Lamb. He's
the smooth one that's got like all the trip right.
Like he's the one that wears the clothes a little different,
but he does do that fashion icon like he's the
one that people look at and go, yeah, that dude
is the style part of that boy band. Can still

(01:16:03):
kill the dance routines, probably at times a shirtless on
the album cover too, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
For sure you gotta have at least or at least
completely unbuttoned.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Some abs are being show by ce d Lamb. Yeah,
and my final member of my NFL boy band is
Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
Oh, I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
I could have guessed that, because every every boy band
needs a bad boy.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
You need a bad boy, you need different color hair,
you know, the different suits, the swag, the drip that
he comes along with a Donnie Wahlberg.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
He's it of new Kids on the Block, but of
our group. Right here, he like smokes a cigar in
the music video where sunglasses inside, he's too cool to dance.
Everybody else is dancing, and he's kind of like, nah,
I'm good, he's solid.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
That was a solid pick right there. I was definitely
gonna say, you better have Joe Burrow in there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
That's my NFL boy band right there. Tell me that
would it's I don't know they can sing, but tell
me that would it? Well, I don't really what do
you think? That wouldn't do much? But still I like
I like everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
I like the dynamics right now. Yeah, we've got some
good comms right there. Solid in all different phases.
