Today's episode is brought to you by Liquid Death.
00:00:06.880
He's had a lifestyle, an experience that not many get to have.
00:00:19.100
He is celebrated and discussed ad nauseum, you might say.
00:00:30.680
He's a retired NFL quarterback and the host of Uncut with Jay Cutler.
00:00:57.980
Shine on me, and I will find a song I've been singing.
00:01:17.700
We have a lot of podcast listeners over the years with this podcast and a different podcast.
00:01:40.960
Yeah, Nate Bargatze, he's really that – he's a real more of a scientist of humor, I feel like.
00:01:53.140
And whenever he walked in, you don't really know – like, I just started doing this podcast stuff.
00:01:58.620
So you don't really know how it's going to go with somebody you don't know.
00:02:01.720
Like, doing something with somebody you know, you're like, all right, I've got this down.
00:02:06.680
But when he walked in, I was like, shit, this might not go well.
00:02:11.480
Because he was not a lot of emotion, just kind of just sat down, and he's like – I was like, oh, boy.
00:02:19.900
I'm trying to feel – it almost sometimes feels with Nate like I'm getting in trouble for something in the beginning.
00:02:26.420
But then once you kind of get to know that he's just – it's just kind of some of his demeanor.
00:02:40.900
Like, I just get shocked sometimes, like, even as an adult, that I'll have these dreams where I'll, like, wake up, and I'm like, what's your heart?
00:02:51.060
Do you ever know what I'm talking about at all?
00:03:01.180
You might have to get your chakras worked on or something, man.
00:03:03.640
I have a couple of Indian buddies, and they're always like, dude, your chakras are bad.
00:03:08.240
That's what I – you know, I try to get into it with them.
00:03:14.180
Oh, dude, that would be a good show of something Jay Cutler gets his chakras fixed.
00:03:23.700
You may need a construction worker, though, dude.
00:03:27.500
I might need, like, five of these guys in here.
00:03:45.440
Yeah, it almost sounds a little – I don't want to say Nazi water, but it's definitely – it sounds like on the can.
00:03:51.820
Stone Cold Mountain Water came straight from the Alps to murder your thirst.
00:04:10.440
But I'll put – we'll throw a couple cases in your truck.
00:04:12.320
Yeah, maybe I'll just put it on my podcast and just be like, hey, I'm just doing this.
00:04:20.360
I mean, the amount of, like, weird ad sponsor requests is mind-boggling to me.
00:04:27.980
I didn't see your ads yet on your first episode.
00:04:36.220
Yeah, I did a – like a helicopter – basically a helicopter ambulance.
00:04:45.100
So if you're hurt somewhere and you can't get to a hospital, you pay $149 a year.
00:04:51.620
And this helicopter will come and get you and take you to a hospital.
00:04:59.480
It sounds like – it sounds very something that would happen to, like, somebody in Mexico.
00:05:03.380
I feel like it sounds like a kidnapping or more like a Colombian type of thing.
00:05:07.020
I mean, I kind of want to do it and just, like, call them up and see what happens.
00:05:16.000
I'm out at Lake Radnor and I got bit by a duck.
00:05:20.180
I was pretty shocked a few years ago when Uber, like, there was something was going on in the world when Pete, like – was it the Olympics?
00:05:31.240
But when Uber started having airplanes on their thing, do you remember that?
00:05:35.280
They stayed – and they started doing airplanes, helicopters, and I think they were trying to get in, like, the freight business.
00:05:43.380
That's when I realized, holy shit, man, people are rich, dude.
00:05:54.380
I felt like during the pandemic that there's so many more rich people – or that money doesn't mean anything.
00:06:01.640
I don't understand how people, like, are functioning.
00:06:09.720
I don't know if people are in debt and they just don't care or what's happening.
00:06:27.600
I mean, there's, like, 200 people a day that move to this town.
00:06:34.620
And even, like, you'll see a groundhog, and even he looks like he's got some money.
00:06:40.060
Like, the land here is getting a little bit –
00:06:48.560
I hope that, like, in a couple years, like, we just fall off the cliff.
00:06:55.020
And it's like, well, I saw this one coming, guys.
00:06:57.440
That's what it – I feel like I see it coming, but nothing else.
00:07:00.620
It's not kind of making sense maybe to other people.
00:07:03.100
Like, I don't know what it is, but, yeah, I'm just shocked.
00:07:05.760
Like, I have some friends that are pretty rich sometimes, and they say that they'll be, like, on runways and stuff where, like, everybody has private jets and stuff.
00:07:14.980
And they said there's, like, so many more private jets now.
00:07:18.760
But it's also, like, everyone's doing a podcast.
00:07:28.720
People have to be buying what people are selling on Instagram.
00:07:32.880
I'm confused by the world at this point in my life, I think.
00:07:35.640
I feel like it gets a little tricky because you really – Jay Cutler – I mean, you really – you're Jay Cutler, man, and you really had a big – I mean, you've had such a neat experience, dude.
00:07:44.560
I always wanted to be, like – because you always seem like the tall kind of, like, you know, like – you know what I'm saying, bro?
00:07:50.680
I prefer women, but you seem like a tall, decent-looking man.
00:07:54.720
I'll give you at least an eight and a half, dude.
00:08:01.080
I don't even know how this conversation happened, but they gave me a seven, and I was like, are you guys serious?
00:08:14.920
They also tell the truth, so, I mean, maybe they're right.
00:08:20.280
I mean, I think in this town, there's – I feel like there's almost more competition, I feel like, in some ways in a city like Nashville because there's – I feel like here there's a lot more, like, kind of manly dudes sometimes.
00:08:32.960
Well, I've been living in L.A., and there it's a lot more –
00:08:43.940
Like, what can I eat if I'm lost in the woods, you know?
00:08:46.880
And I'm like, I'd have a Nutri-Grain bar, but you know what I'm saying?
00:08:53.260
Like, you're used to – I mean, you know, early 2000 – I've been here since 2000 for the most part, so, like, it's completely – the whole demographic has completely changed.
00:09:07.380
You get on town now, and it's like, you don't know anybody at all.
00:09:14.980
But is it interesting, like, so you got – so, yeah, I was like, man, I've always wished I could have been, like, the taller guy, you know, a little –
00:09:52.540
So, this could be – I mean, somebody could have just uploaded this an hour ago.
00:09:56.780
That's the crazy thing about the internet and the world right now.
00:10:03.140
It's like everybody believes so much information, but none of – it's like I believe less and less.
00:10:08.560
Because I put out information and people will tell me like, oh, man, that's real.
00:10:24.100
And sometimes my instincts, I feel like, usually have served me pretty good.
00:10:31.060
When you look back at, like – so, now you're not a quarterback now.
00:10:34.920
I mean, you'll always be a quarterback, but you're not doing it.
00:10:39.940
You're not getting – yeah, I guess maybe that defines it.
00:10:42.580
Do you look at and see, like, man, what a position I was in?
00:10:46.040
Like, is it different to look – like, sometimes I'll look at things in my life and be like,
00:10:50.440
man, I didn't kind of – not realize the position I was in, but, you know,
00:10:54.780
like, to a regular man looking at a quarterback, you're like, dang, that's the guy.
00:11:03.040
Like, looking back on it now, like, you get tunnel vision and, like, you don't maybe
00:11:07.140
enjoy it or have as much fun or take advantage of it as much as you would now looking back
00:11:14.880
I mean, you're just locked in and you're just doing your job.
00:11:17.200
And, you know, it turns – sometimes it's a grind.
00:11:21.480
But looking back on it now, you know, it – I don't say – I don't want to say that I wish
00:11:28.080
I would have done things differently, but it was an awesome, awesome experience.
00:11:36.840
And it shaped a lot of, like, who I am and, you know, the people I associate with and how
00:11:43.680
And so, I mean, it's – you know, from the time I was fourth grade until, you know,
00:11:51.880
I just can't – I was trying to think about something in my life that had been that much
00:11:55.320
of, like, a shit – like, a thing that I – was, like, a vehicle in my life.
00:12:01.900
So, it just must seem a lot that now you're in, like, a new career.
00:12:04.980
It's like you're trying to find – do you want to find a new career?
00:12:08.060
Do you feel like you need to or are you just kind of, like – I don't know.
00:12:16.580
Like, do you feel, like, a pressure to or do you just –
00:12:19.460
I mean, because, I mean, like, not many people when they're 35 or whatever age people
00:12:24.620
that are playing football, like, have to go out there and, in the real world, like,
00:12:31.160
So, a career – career, I don't know if that's the right word.
00:12:38.420
What gives me purpose in my life going forward?
00:12:41.600
And there was pressure when I got out to, like, to figure that out.
00:12:46.540
And I was never one of those guys that had other businesses or stuff going on when I played.
00:12:51.040
It was literally – I was just – I played football.
00:12:55.520
And so, now, when I got out, it was just like, all right, I'm clueless.
00:13:06.360
I knew I wanted to kind of get out of that world.
00:13:09.400
So, it was really just trying to figure out, all right, what the hell am I going to wake up and be happy doing?
00:13:22.320
And I'm probably still kind of figuring that one out.
00:13:25.220
So, when you start – because I was – yeah, I was watching your first episode.
00:13:44.740
Because you're definitely kind of like this – you kind of remind me of a cross between, like, Christian Laitner and, like, Sasquatch a little.
00:13:53.100
And it's – I don't mean it in a negative way.
00:13:56.220
Yeah, it's like a – yeah, you're kind of like this interesting figure that the media gave a lot of attention to, like, weird attention kind of and shit.
00:14:04.940
But that's kind of the best – in a way, nowadays, that's almost like the best kind of attention you can get out there in a weird way.
00:14:20.080
You know, I think there's just certain aspects of my life that I like keeping private that, you know, I don't really talk about.
00:14:27.580
And I'm probably going to try to keep it that way.
00:14:30.040
And I think that, you know, I did a reality show for a little bit after I was done.
00:14:36.900
And, you know, I think as soon as you start, like, pulling back and, like, kind of shielding yourself some, like, people really want to get into that and figure that out and know more.
00:14:49.180
But, you know, the podcast, I don't know where that's going to go.
00:14:55.460
It was, like, kind of like you weren't trying to be too much, I didn't feel like, or trying to be a certain thing.
00:15:01.460
You're kind of like, I don't know where this is going to go.
00:15:04.560
And that was a hard part about doing it, of doing the opening.
00:15:14.740
But, like, for me, I was like, I don't know what to say in this opening thing.
00:15:19.200
And I don't really want to say too much about me.
00:15:22.040
I really don't want to divulge, like, a lot going forward right now.
00:15:26.300
So, like, I'm just going to tell her, you know, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
00:15:34.560
It's funny, man, because it kind of reminded me to when I started podcasting.
00:15:40.880
I started maybe about five years ago, maybe, or four years ago.
00:15:44.640
I'd gone on Joe Rogan's podcast a couple times, maybe.
00:16:06.360
But, I mean, is there an option, like, to be, like, after, like, an hour of, like, tapping out?
00:16:12.560
But I think part of the mystique about Joe Rogan's is that you go in there and you're like, you know, I want to be able to go toe to toe.
00:16:21.300
And he's kind of, like, this symbol of not necessarily just machismo, but somewhat of machismo for sure.
00:16:28.560
So you want to be able to be, like, okay, I can do by time, you know?
00:16:34.180
And you're just, like, dude, and you hit about two hours and you have a cramp that you're trying to deny and you're still trying to, like, remember.
00:16:43.320
I remember, at one point, I remember saying, hey, man, this is the longest conversation I've ever been in in my entire life.
00:16:52.000
And it was, like, almost scary to think that I'm talking to a man that I've gotten to know better but I didn't know super great at the time.
00:17:03.960
It's kind of scary because then they close the door and the sound kind of gets you.
00:17:20.420
Some of them feel like Joe has that third ear, man.
00:17:23.840
But that really helped, like, kind of get it going.
00:17:27.140
And I think doing other podcasts, I think podcasts gave a lot of, like, I worked in Los Angeles and Hollywood for a long time.
00:17:35.780
And I never really found some footing in television and stuff.
00:17:38.440
I felt like, especially as they started to, like, really move away from, like, you know, regular guys.
00:17:49.500
But I think they just weren't a lot of opportunities.
00:17:54.500
It's kind of just given opportunities for regular guys not to have to use, like, these vehicles of Hollywood.
00:18:03.360
And there's so many talented people out there now.
00:18:06.720
And there's so many vehicles, like you're saying now, of people getting their talent out there and letting people know and doing all those things, which, I mean, is a good thing.
00:18:15.140
I mean, it kind of puts the power a lot of in your own hands.
00:18:18.440
And even I thought about, like, I have friends that, like, get canceled or whatever.
00:18:27.060
Yeah, if you schedule your canceling well, dude, you're freaking.
00:18:32.840
They're going to be on tour for the next 20 years.
00:18:37.360
Dude, when Morgan's bus leaves town, it will never come back.
00:18:53.560
Just put a hat on and sunglasses and do it and do it.
00:18:59.260
I've tried to get canceled on Instagram and stuff.
00:19:08.960
Yeah, my friend Eric Andre, he's a comedian, and he had a show that was going on television
00:19:12.880
or a movie, and he just put a completely naked picture of himself.
00:19:33.480
Maybe work out for a month and just get jacked up and then do it.
00:19:52.360
I mean, this is the most I've thought about it with another man in the room, you know?
00:19:59.260
Even those Sports Illustrated issues where everybody's like semi-naked in there and like
00:20:03.240
Pope Solo's hiding their tits behind like frisbees.
00:20:22.620
Actually, I put a pride flag in the back and just say, hey, homie, this is art, dude.
00:20:28.480
If you add in like an extra element of like a group that's kind of an outlet.
00:20:34.180
Not like an outlier group, but a group that like, you know, struggles to find their footing
00:20:39.180
I feel like that kind of can give you like a carte blanche sometimes.
00:20:44.520
But if you talk about it before in this way and then do it, you're probably, it probably
00:20:54.120
You think if you had to do a new, would you go side?
00:20:57.160
Because side, your wiener is going to peek out the front a little.
00:21:02.400
Or, yeah, I mean, you want to put that body part in its best light, I think, if you're
00:21:14.860
And if I did front, maybe I would do something else to like take away.
00:21:39.740
I feel like that is a world that really digs and tries to get like, it gets really manipulative.
00:21:46.740
Do you think that reality TV, like, do you think that being a celebrity and being married
00:21:55.460
and like in a celebrity kind of relationship, is that a lot more pressure on a marriage
00:22:00.980
Or do you think it's just kind of grandfathered in after time and you get the hang of it?
00:22:08.040
I think it definitely puts pressure on the relationship because you want it to be portrayed
00:22:19.340
And I think that's where it gets a little fuzzy because, you know, you're doing this
00:22:28.380
on television and then like, you know, it's rainbows and sunshine and like, that's not
00:22:35.220
Like, you know, there's highs and stuff, but like real life can be married in real life.
00:22:43.080
Like, you can't always be, you know, riding sky high.
00:22:48.220
After a certain point, it's like, all right, you know, you're married and it's just, you
00:22:54.140
You're just waiting for, you're just sitting in the car, waiting for your wife to get in
00:22:57.560
I mean, you go to dinner, like you can do fun stuff, but like there's other times where
00:23:01.180
it's just like, yeah, we're just, we're just living life.
00:23:04.000
Like it's just, it's another, it's another Wednesday.
00:23:13.520
His is almost like a, that, that to me a lot of times feels like a real reality show.
00:23:18.020
It's him like stumbling through the packages at the door and like, being like, oh, which
00:23:24.960
So yeah, I mean, reality TV, it's, it's painting a picture that isn't always necessarily true.
00:23:32.240
And I think it kind of skews the audience a little bit, but I mean, that's what reality
00:23:35.860
TV is there for, you know, it's for, for drama or for whatever, you know, all, all those
00:23:42.560
I mean, I think about why some of it I look at, I think I, I want to just, sometimes I
00:23:46.520
remember, especially when I was like kind of growing up, I guess, or maybe like I've
00:23:53.940
made a little bit of money, but I'm not, I'm not like a real rich guy, but I remember I
00:23:58.240
wanted to see some of the Kardashians cause I wanted to see what it was like if somebody
00:24:02.580
Like if they had like, you know, indoor pets, like that kind of shit, you know what I'm
00:24:08.540
You want to see, you want to see what people are doing, you know?
00:24:12.860
But, um, do you feel like it can, do you feel like that had any effect on like your, you
00:24:19.240
And I'm not trying to get in your relationship, but do you feel like that, like that can wreck,
00:24:24.060
like, I just don't, I'm really untrustworthy of that kind of stuff.
00:24:28.320
So even the side effects of a lot of that momentum and what's glamor and stuff like
00:24:36.260
I mean, and you start to, you start to believe it and you start to think, um, that's how it
00:24:41.840
And, you know, and, you know, it's the grass is greener on the other side.
00:24:46.240
Like all those things can, someone can fall into that trap.
00:24:54.460
And it's, you know, and it, I really, I really, I really, I really, I really, I really,
00:24:58.300
reality TV doesn't bother me and I would, I'd go back and do it again for sure.
00:25:03.200
And if someone came to me with an awesome reality TV show idea, I'd, I'd do it.
00:25:08.900
It's just, I think you have to be really grounded in kind of who you are and what you want out
00:25:15.000
And, and, and realize that, Hey, this is, this is a job period.
00:25:19.520
And, and your life has to be in a stable place and, and you have to realize, all right,
00:25:24.320
when the cameras are gone, like it's just normal life again.
00:25:32.880
I mean, I bet it's almost like in some semblance, the same of like be, you know, doing football
00:25:37.240
or doing something for a long time and then being out of this, like, but it's almost even
00:25:42.040
different because you're not, you don't get to like, not hide behind a game, but you're
00:25:49.380
It's not like it's you standing out there, like, and you just yell out some secrets at
00:25:53.860
the line and then the offensive lineman turns around and tells you a secret, you know,
00:25:57.820
it's like, but I mean, people get, people get confused by this stuff because it becomes
00:26:08.980
Like that, that you, you, if you're, if your validation is through that stuff that's eventually
00:26:15.680
going to go away, like you're going to be lost.
00:26:17.780
And, you know, some people, it takes them a little bit to figure that out and find out
00:26:27.260
And it's, it's a, and I think that's pretty common for a lot of people, I'm sure within
00:26:38.220
I mean, if your podcast is, if everything's gone tomorrow and you got to go down to wherever
00:26:44.040
and work, like it's going to be, it's going to be a different experience.
00:26:46.900
Like you're going to be like, Oh wait, like it's all gone.
00:27:07.200
They put a mask on all the cameras, which they easily could, you know, to mass just,
00:27:20.000
I mean, I do stand up comedy for a living, so I'd have that.
00:27:22.420
But if I, if that went, if that went to, yeah, man, I don't know.
00:27:26.440
I'd probably hopefully try to get myself a little bit of land and maybe do just become
00:27:31.260
a prepper, maybe a prepper, but also a prepper who has like a side paintball type of biz maybe.
00:27:36.140
And also maybe a pumpkin patch kind of like, um.
00:27:39.720

When you look at guys, when you look at football and you look at guys like, what is it about?
00:30:47.680
And I don't know if we're even able to see what this would be like.
00:30:50.860
What is it about a guy like Tom Brady that makes him so capable to pull it off over time?
00:31:01.380
I mean, I think it probably goes back to his work ethic, like to start.
00:31:05.720
And then, you know, he was in a great situation.
00:31:10.140
I mean, I think, you know, timing, situation, work ethic, you know, his talent, his brain.
00:31:19.600
Like, if you look at really successful people, you know, they're obviously talented in whatever their field is.
00:31:25.480
But there's got to be some things that come together to help them get to this point.
00:31:31.520
And, I mean, being with Bill and Josh McDaniels and their defense was unbelievable when he first got there.
00:31:41.140
But, you know, you look at a lot of these quarterbacks that get into the league early and they're just, you know, they're on bad teams.
00:31:49.960
The coaches kind of maybe getting fired or coming in and starting over.
00:31:54.600
So, and not to take away from Tom, because, I mean, what he's done is it will probably never be done again.
00:32:02.440
You know, but he came into a really, really good situation.
00:32:05.600
And to his credit, he took advantage of it, you know, better than anybody could.
00:32:13.020
Does it seem like he's magic when you're around, like, when you see him or something?
00:32:31.140
I had a principal in school named Benjamin Brady.
00:32:37.820
And then a friend of mine died not too long ago.
00:32:41.140
Or he's an adult now, but he was a kid when I met him because I was a kid.
00:32:45.180
And I went to his funeral and Benjamin Brady was there, dude.
00:32:51.580
I'd only seen him since he, like, paddled or something like rude.
00:32:57.500
And he was just, like, chilling at this funeral.
00:32:59.380
Yeah, it's so different to see, like, people of, like, authority whenever you were younger.
00:33:03.520
And now, like, you're grown and you see him now and it's like, you're just a regular, you're just a regular dude.
00:33:13.640
Did you, did you guys have that kind of corporal punishment when you were in schools or no?
00:33:21.960
No, I was, I was, like, by the book, you know, tried to, I did try to do everything right.
00:33:29.420
I was, I was the oldest and I, I mean, I just, that's just kind of what I did.
00:33:35.460
Did you, like, were you, like, an instigator at all in class or you were, like, you were just chill?
00:33:44.860
Like, he, he, I was, I was a pleaser, you know, like, I wanted to do the right thing.
00:33:49.040
I wanted to, I mean, towards the end of high school, I, like, stopped caring so much about, like, grades and stuff.
00:33:54.660
But, like, I went from, like, A's and B's to, like, a C plus.
00:34:03.240
And, like, I stopped, I stopped taking, like, honors English and I, I just went into, like, the normal English class.
00:34:16.440
We went from, like, 10-page papers to, like, just write a paragraph, please.
00:34:26.260
Once you're in high school and you kind of realize there's that moment where it's, like, you realize that the, you don't have those crazy grades that's going to do anything for you.
00:34:34.940
Or you have a path with a sport or with a profession already.
00:34:40.720
And I think that's probably part, that's probably part of the problem.
00:34:43.080
Like, I figured out, like, this doesn't matter.
00:34:47.840
Like, I just need to get through this part of it.
00:34:50.380
Obviously, I don't want to be disrespectful and, you know, just absolutely bomb it.
00:34:53.880
But a C, B, or A, it literally doesn't make a difference.
00:34:59.060
It's not going to make a difference in my life.
00:35:00.700
And once you learn that, there's definitely, like, a newfound, it's almost, it's a little bit of an apathy.
00:35:05.880
It's like a freedom, but it's also, like, I'm going to take the, I'm going to do what I want to do now, kind of.
00:35:14.080
And I think it's looked at, like you said, it's looked at, like, you're trying to take the easy way out.
00:35:17.640
But it's like, no, I'm just, I'm just going to focus my attention on something, like, that matters to me now.
00:35:22.680
Instead of something that matters to your teachers or your parents or whatever.
00:35:38.120
You're like, hey, give me the George Washington.
00:35:42.260
They're probably, the barber is probably like, who's that?
00:35:47.500
It could be Tommy Lahren gave him that cut, dude.
00:35:51.020
What if she did haircuts and she only did cuts like patriotic figures?
00:36:01.820
We got that Ben Franklin, a couple of Ben Franklins here at noon.
00:36:13.940
This lady named Whitney cut it for a while and this lady named Libby cuts it sometimes,
00:36:18.140
Like, pulling off a mullet is, I mean, I couldn't do it.
00:36:24.780
Yeah, I had this haircut when I was real small and then I got like a man's cut, like a regular
00:36:32.380
This is a little bit more you can hide, kind of.
00:36:35.780
I have a wide nose, so it's like this gives me a little bit more.
00:36:43.360
Yeah, but now that I look at it, it's not that wide.
00:36:48.060
Once you start thinking one thing about yourself, you're like, oh, man, one of my legs is too
00:36:51.540
long or, you know, I got too much hair on my body.
00:37:02.660
I think they got me with some of the advertisements.
00:37:09.860
I'll do that later down the line, but it's just treadmill.
00:37:29.680
But for me, it's probably for just a regular...
00:37:37.720
Like, I feel like when they say Nordic, that has like a...
00:37:40.680
Like an Aspen, like a Switzerland vibe or something to it.
00:37:44.240
And it has like a fan on it, but it doesn't even get that cold.
00:37:48.400
I wish it had that blast you out, fucking we're going down to 25 degrees.
00:38:04.940
This company, this new company called Blue Cube, I think.
00:38:24.880
I got into it when I was in Chicago three, maybe five years ago.
00:38:31.840
Who was a player you played with that was like way into that kind of stuff,
00:38:37.520
You know, that was just eating liver out of a bag all day on the field,
00:38:44.960
Um, because it's very, very rare to find anybody that's into, like, alternative stuff.
00:38:54.620
Like, these dudes are just eating McDonald's and...
00:38:57.280
I mean, it's gotten better, but, like, it's a fast-paced, you know, crush your body and
00:39:11.660
I was never around a lot of guys that were really focused on taking care of their bodies.
00:39:16.180
I mean, there's obviously people out there, but, you know, 75% of the guys are just, you
00:39:21.840
know, going to Chick-fil-A or McDonald's or doing whatever and just coming in and rolling.
00:39:29.600
Like, these guys are programmed to play football, and they are absolute freak shows.
00:39:35.960
They've obviously gotten used to being able to do that.
00:39:38.720
They can eat whatever they want, drink whatever they want, and show up and just absolutely
00:39:46.680
Because I'm friends with Blake Griffin, and he said that he used to play with this cool
00:40:02.320
I mean, not that I know of anybody that smoked cigarettes.
00:40:04.740
I don't even know people that smoke cigarettes.
00:40:09.540
I mean, I just threw my vapes away because they just made me nervous at night because
00:40:13.320
I would hit them too much, and then I would get all nervous, but...
00:40:27.380
It's like you can get, like, you know, berry crush, you know, fun lime or something.
00:40:47.640
Lynn Dawson enjoys a sweet cig during the Super Bowl.
00:40:50.340
Yeah, they always put a cigarette in my mouth in my pictures.
00:40:52.280
Yeah, I know they got the smoking J stuff, and I was just...
00:40:55.780
I just wish you knew a player that frickin' smoked, dude, because that guy, to me, would
00:41:03.420
Just came into work, just chucked it out and said, let's do this, boys.
00:41:08.340
Yeah, now that, to me, like, Chick-fil-A, yeah, I get it, man.
00:41:16.760
I mean, drink beer in the locker rooms, smoke cigarettes.
00:41:22.240
Yeah, when I was in school, man, they had, before, in Louisiana, you used to be able to
00:41:27.840
drink when you were 18 years old, you could buy alcohol.
00:41:30.980
And it was the last, one of the last states to be able to do that, because the federal government
00:41:35.600
said, we're not going to give you any more road money.
00:41:37.560
Yeah, they said, we're not going to give you money for roads, right?
00:41:40.560
And the first couple years, we're like, fuck it, we don't need roads.
00:41:45.860
Yeah, we'll drink, and we'll ride on a Crocs back, you know what I'm saying?
00:41:49.560
But I think after about two years, the roads, you realize people are drunk, and they're
00:41:58.780
Yeah, but it was like a year or two before I got to high school, they would have parties at
00:42:02.660
the school, like on certain days where kids would just bring a keg, and you would have
00:42:07.160
it, like if they were 18, they'd be able to stay there and party, man.
00:42:12.560
And it's like, sometimes I think the lore of things makes me, like the nostalgia of things
00:42:19.360
Yeah, you know, like that stuff, and then like, you know, the 70s, when everything was
00:42:27.840
Like, I feel like the innocence of the world is kind of gone, which is, I mean, it's unfortunate.
00:42:33.220
But I mean, there's other things in the world that are amazing right now, too.
00:42:36.460
But like that innocence of being able to do those things is, I think it's long gone.
00:42:42.380
Yeah, and there's so much judgment now on every little thing.
00:42:46.140
I mean, you don't even smoke a cigarette and you're a smoker.
00:42:50.980
People want me to sign like packs of cigarettes for them.
00:42:59.880
Did you ever go smoke a cigar with Michael Jordan in Chicago?
00:43:07.540
I mean, he would always have them in the locker room and stuff.
00:43:14.480
I think if, I think if you're him, you can do it.
00:43:19.060
I feel like, I think it's for different people.
00:43:36.860
I mean, is that, that can't, is that good for you?
00:43:40.800
They see that nicotine will ramp my heart up and I couldn't.
00:43:46.600
But I mean, I'm sure some gets into you, obviously.
00:44:24.140
Only smoke if you never want to have children again.
00:44:27.960
Cuddler's shocker, shocker's realignment and infertility cigars.
00:44:35.180
You put a porch out front, people would go forever.
00:44:41.860
I was thinking like, was there a big like, because for like a regular, like I would remember being in the stands during high school when kids were playing, dude.
00:44:53.540
And I just remember, does it seem more fun at college or at the pros?
00:44:59.300
Is there like a big change where the, what's some of that change in there?
00:45:04.700
Because one has so much more money attached to it.
00:45:07.120
One has a lot like that all American type of thing.
00:45:10.880
Was there one you even preferred more than the other?
00:45:16.920
You know, you're, you're out there, you're playing with your friends and your guys and you're like, you're just, you're playing football just because you love it.
00:45:23.640
Oh, college, I think was college is fun because it's college.
00:45:29.700
You're, you're away from your parents, you're living life, you're at parties, you play football, you're going to school, like you're becoming an adult and you, you know, you're figuring out life at that point.
00:45:40.940
And then I think the NFL, it becomes, it's a job and you know, there's probably some, you get jaded by it a little bit and it's literally a job.
00:45:52.120
And I, the first couple of years, you, you, it's a blast because you're having fun, you have money, um, stadiums, you can buy your own house, you can buy a car.
00:46:02.580
But after a while, like it's, it is, it, there's a job attached to that and you're expected to perform.
00:46:07.940
And if you don't perform, you know, somebody else will take your job.
00:46:10.680
So like, you, it's, it's a little bit different.
00:46:14.240
I never thought like, what if I had a job, but there's somebody sitting over there who, if I'm not doing my job good today, they can come do it.
00:46:20.580
Well, and then there's, you know, 50 people in the room being like critiquing, like everything you do.
00:46:25.320
I mean, you, people critique you, but I mean, it's just different.
00:46:28.560
I mean, every Monday, Tuesday in the facility, like they're bringing guys in to try out.
00:46:32.980
Oh, I mean, they're out there on the field, like running, running routes, throwing, doing drills every Monday and Tuesday.
00:46:40.200
So, I mean, there's, there's, you know, there's a percentage of the locker room that kind of gets turned over every couple of weeks.
00:46:45.160
I never thought about that with that pressure, but like, like, even if I'm on stage doing a standup and there's somebody off in the wings who's over there stretching.
00:46:57.900
We got a question that came in right here from someone.
00:47:09.620
And then what was the stupidest thing you spent on your first contract money?
00:47:21.240
I went to Denver and it was John Lynch, Champ Bailey, Jake Plummer, Al Wilson.
00:47:31.420
And, like, it was just, it was ran really well.
00:47:42.660
Like, you look around today and, like, guys are getting their head shaved and doing stuff.
00:47:49.080
All we had to do was get in front of the team and either sing a song or tell a joke.
00:47:55.700
Did you hear stories, like, old days when it was, like, really crazy?
00:47:58.860
Because it kind of reminds me, I guess, of, like, in fraternities and stuff, you'd always hear crazy stuff.
00:48:08.700
And then we had to run through the locker room.
00:48:13.740
And they had wiffle ball bats and all kinds of stuff and just, like, beat us as we ran through it.
00:48:19.220
And then we got to, we got to the finish line and we had to swallow goldfish.
00:48:27.840
And then they threw us in the showers and all the showers were on coal and they just threw us in there and, like, made us wait in there.
00:48:34.960
Like, yeah, like that, like, yeah, we didn't have any of that stuff.
00:48:39.420
I mean, that's a really bad, I mean, yeah, you had to carry pads and stuff like that off the field.
00:48:53.600
I think it reminds me of Moe and Curly and Larry of the three students.
00:48:57.620
I mean, but if you just wear a hat, it's like, all right, I'm good.
00:49:01.360
But once you don't wear that hat, dude, you're definitely, you better have a wife.
00:49:05.260
You might as well just not wear a hat just so, like, it's known.
00:49:09.320
Like, you don't want to take it off and be like, oh, wait a second.
00:49:13.020
And I don't think he was looking for a wife at that point either, so he's probably good.
00:49:16.340
I think this might have been a point I don't remember in his career when he, I don't even
00:49:19.300
know if he was, because I think he had some stuff where he wasn't maybe dating.
00:49:23.240
Yeah, like, he was a virgin and stuff, the whole thing, right?
00:49:26.040
So, I think, yeah, he was, oh, now this dude right there.
00:49:33.100
He was like, this is, you don't even have to cut my hair.
00:49:39.780
This guy looks like he got cancer from, like, a Native American.
00:49:43.000
Like, this dude looks like he is freaking all in, bro.
00:49:56.000
Is the biggest, you had a lot of neat people to play with over there.
00:50:06.300
I went to school at Loyola when J.P. went to Tulane.
00:50:15.660
Awesome dude in the locker room, off the field.
00:50:23.400
The offensive lineman, is that your most important guys?
00:50:29.420
But, like, you know, you just got to kind of, you throw them the ball, take them to dinner.
00:50:36.740
I mean, the offensive linemen, like, they make or break you.
00:50:40.280
Is there sometimes where you really were on seasons and where it's like, man, I don't know if some of these guys are really down for me?
00:50:45.580
Like, is there, like, a real thing when those guys are, like, down for you and when they're not?
00:50:50.000
I mean, you've got to start the, you've got to start in training camp.
00:50:53.720
Like, you've got to earn their trust and you've got to be there for them.
00:50:56.520
You've got to, you know, stick up for them and go to dinners with them and, like, ride or die.
00:51:06.600
So, even if they mess up, like, you've got to build them back up.
00:51:15.320

00:53:17.600
I heard you say that it seems like easier for quarterbacks, like quarterbacks don't get hit
00:53:23.320
Do you think like the game is getting more like just almost to a two-hand touch for quarterbacks
00:53:30.400
They're protecting the most valuable asset out there.
00:53:33.500
I mean, these guys are getting paid a crazy amount of money, so the NFL is going to protect
00:53:39.900
And, you know, I don't think, I think it's a good thing for the game because like you don't
00:53:45.300
want to get into a season where, you know, you lose five of the best starting quarterbacks
00:53:50.480
Like you want, they're trying to take care of the product.
00:53:56.580
You know, it's just a, you know, it's a fine line.
00:53:58.780
It's like, hey, like how far do you actually go here with this?
00:54:03.500
Um, what fills some of your time these days, man?
00:54:09.140
Was there another business that you thought about getting into?
00:54:12.540
Um, you know, have people come at you with some weird ideas or anything?
00:54:16.680
You know, I'm doing a meat subscription box now called Cutler's Cuts.
00:54:24.340
I thought about doing a butcher shop at one point, but I'm like, I don't know if that's
00:54:30.600
But then like, you know, the pandemic or hit and I was like, well, people aren't even
00:54:35.680
Like, they're definitely not going to go buy meat.
00:54:40.120
Hey, you can't leave your house, but we got to go buy some meat today.
00:54:47.520
I'm going to this, going to the butcher shop, but Cutler's selling meat.
00:55:01.480
Um, I liked doing the podcast stuff, you know, the kids are getting older, so they're doing
00:55:06.880
Um, you know, there was pressure when I first got out, but I mean, that's gone now.
00:55:11.640
So it's just kind of just, I've always said like, Hey, like things will start to come.
00:55:16.620
Like I'll, I'll, I mean, I'm not, I'm not going to just sit on my butt forever and I'm
00:55:26.740
You guys played once right in the playoffs, maybe played in the playoff when they had Reggie
00:55:32.600
Oh no, I was, I was in the Chicago that I played.
00:55:34.840
Uh, I played him in, I played him in Denver, um, played him in Denver.
00:55:40.660
And then in Chicago, we played him probably, I'm sure we played him a couple of times.
00:55:46.780
Like I remember when I first got to new Orleans, he came out and saw a comedy show.
00:55:51.260
It was like his first week in town and Scott Fajita brought him out to see a comedy show
00:55:57.380
Um, that Denver, Denver saints game, they missed a field goal.
00:56:02.020
They missed a, like a 50 yard field goal, 40 yard.
00:56:08.240
Um, yeah, he's, yeah, it's, it's, and if you watch him, like he lifts his head up cause
00:56:14.680
he's short, he lifts his head up and like, he's looking through his face mask and I'm
00:56:31.160
I mean, he's, he's, people are going to have a hard time catching him.
00:56:35.300
Was it fun to hand the ball off and not have to pass?
00:56:41.000
Like, yeah, like, yeah, like just, you know, you don't even have to think, but I mean, a
00:56:49.340
I mean, there's very few, like we call them, uh, call and runs, like just car plays.
00:56:54.260
Like you just go up there, you call it and you just go up there and say, Hey, blue 80,
00:56:59.140
And there's a handful of those in the game plan, but I mean, not many, there's probably
00:57:06.080
Do you ever hand it off to a guy and you're like, man, this guy's fucked, dude.
00:57:11.460
You hand it off and be like, this is going nowhere.
00:57:21.620
Um, you had that thing a couple of weeks ago, they were talking about the mass with the
00:57:25.220
kids and the superintendent or the, would you really be a superintendent?
00:57:29.600
I'm going to be, I want to be on the school board.
00:57:34.520
Uh, in my district, it's not, I can't run until 2024.
00:57:45.440
No, just because like that's how the terms are.
00:57:47.480
So I think it's a four year term, I think I'm guessing.
00:57:56.620
So I've got some time to, uh, campaign hit the road fundraiser, all the things.
00:58:06.220
Some meat, some chuckles, get some, uh, get some, uh, some school moms out there.
00:58:15.040
Um, and you know, Williamson County, I think is going through it right now with the mass
00:58:21.000
And it's, uh, it's going to be interesting to see what happens in the school systems down
00:58:27.580
It's kind of, it's, it's kind of wild thinking about like kids having to wear, that's kind
00:58:32.840
I feel like some people say, well, kids don't know it's an issue if you don't tell them it's
00:58:37.620
And some of that I get, but also like, I feel like if I have a mask on, I can't, I don't
00:58:46.200
And also it's like children are like the least, like, it just seems, it seems ridiculous.
00:58:53.740
And you, but I mean, now, you know, that's what they're spinning now.
00:58:57.880
If you go on CNN, like, it's like, all right, you know, we've got outrageous number of kids
00:59:05.320
And then if you go to a different site, it's like, well, they're, you know, the survival
00:59:13.960
And, and my, and, you know, I got pinned on the no mask side, which I'm fine with that.
00:59:21.960
I think it's, it's hard enough being in school.
00:59:24.840
It's hard enough, you know, going through that, you know, that K through five to have,
00:59:29.500
to have a mask on and learn how to read and write and talk and do all this stuff.
00:59:35.720
With that being said, like, if you want to send your kid to school with a mask, that's,
00:59:42.340
If you want to get the vaccine, get the vaccine.
00:59:45.800
I just don't think we, we can make a mandate for, you know, K through five.
00:59:54.600
And, and, and, and they, and they, they gave, they gave everyone, you can opt out.
01:00:06.780
Like, all right, I'm a hundred percent against this.
01:00:08.900
And I'm, I'm, I'm just for, for my own being, but if you have a different opinion, I'm, I'm, I'm more than willing to listen and I'm more than willing to support whatever decision you want to make.
01:00:19.660
I think it's interesting sometimes how, if you say anything that is even like contrary or not even contrary, but like, it's like, if you want to raise your hand and even talk about stuff, you immediately get pinned on.
01:00:30.960
And like, you're this outlier, you're this like anarchist.
01:00:34.760
And I think a lot of that is, goes back to what we were talking to earlier.
01:00:37.200
It's just like anything that people can click on.
01:00:39.320
It's like, they just want, that's all they care about making.
01:00:41.260
They don't really care about making a conversation.
01:00:44.020
And it's, and it's all just extreme over here, extreme over here.
01:00:50.860
Like I don't under, I think there are a lot of them, but those people, no one wants to.
01:00:55.880
Those people don't want to talk because you're going to get destroyed on one side or the other.
01:01:00.480
I think there's a lot of people in this middle ground that do have common sense, that do want to live in this middle area and don't want to be on these extremes.
01:01:09.780
They just, you know, I mean, it's not worth it anymore to say anything.
01:01:16.100
I don't want to deal with this either side of this.
01:01:20.080
Sometimes I get afraid to speak up, man, about certain things.
01:01:25.020
This is why I get afraid, Jay, because sometimes I, um, you can run out of the water just so he has it.
01:01:31.920
Um, sometimes I get afraid because I just don't, I, sometimes my brain doesn't work as well as, as fast as I need it to.
01:01:37.820
So it's like, I don't want to say something until I know exactly what it is.
01:01:42.260
And people don't give you room to like, oh, no, you say one thing wrong.
01:01:50.500
So the only people that are even allowed to speak anymore then are people reading off teleprompters who are knowing exactly what they're about to say.
01:01:57.460
Or maybe like Ben Shapiro, who's like somehow, or Jordan Peterson, who are like computers and they're able to get it from here to here.
01:02:07.560
And there's a lot of people out there that just don't want to say anything because they don't want to get canceled.
01:02:14.220
So like, they're just like, hey, I can't say anything.
01:02:23.200
It's like at least, yeah, maybe sometimes I'll take that for granted.
01:02:26.360
Like I'm in a place where at least I could say some stuff if I want to.
01:02:29.480
But I worry though if I say like, not say certain things, but like the other day we did a Netflix special that we taped at the Ryman.
01:02:36.300
And they, like a couple days before, like everybody needs to be vaccinated or have a negative test.
01:02:42.140
And it was like, you know, everybody had bought their tickets knowing that they either had a, just knowing both things.
01:02:50.000
I've been vaccinated or I'm willing to go and I haven't.
01:02:53.920
So that was really interesting because then it's like this, they're like, well, this is kind of our production that we're putting on.
01:03:03.520
You want them to be able to be a part of it and see the show.
01:03:07.200
But it's interesting when businesses kind of start to have mandates and whether they're worried about what the social media repercussions will be.
01:03:17.160
And that's a real, that's the world we live in now.
01:03:23.020
And we're at the point to, we're at that, we're at that, we're still, I think, in that period where we're navigating what that is and what it means.
01:03:28.700
And if it means anything, like, you know, two years ago, a tweet, somebody said something, it meant everything.
01:03:34.940
And now it's starting to be a little bit like people don't even pay attention that much.
01:03:39.160
I mean, Twitter, I think Twitter, like, it's just about quantity.
01:03:46.280
Like, there's a next thought, the next thought, the next thought.
01:03:48.500
But, yeah, I don't think Twitter, I mean, there's impactful people that tweet, for sure.
01:03:53.840
But, like, I think a lot of Twitter is just, it's just, you know, garbage.
01:04:00.800
It's like, it's almost like Stephen A. Smith, but in, like, a business.
01:04:08.400
Anything that, it's like anything that will pick up steam.
01:04:12.000
But it's going to be interesting, like, 10 years from now.
01:04:14.420
Like, we look back in this space and time and, like, what we're going to think about.
01:04:20.700
I don't want to speculate, but it's going to be interesting.
01:04:24.800
Because, you know, you look back at, you remember, like, Y2K?
01:04:36.440
People were buying, like, lambs and stuff for, you know what I'm saying?
01:04:45.880
I wonder if that was, like, the first thing that really started to scare people.
01:04:51.160
But, I mean, you're going to be a prepper here soon, so, like, you're good.
01:04:55.660
I'll be just sitting there with a Kindle fucking watching old Joe Rogan's.
01:05:01.760
Just eating fucking Jay Cutler beef jerky that gets brought to me on a fucking, from a local wagon.
01:05:08.800
We'll get to a couple questions here for you, Jay.
01:05:15.560
I am so excited to know that Jay is going to be on Theo's podcast.
01:05:33.800
And I'm wondering what some of your encouraging words might be for a first-time football player, first year.
01:05:40.240
And anything for the moms out there who are watching our sweet little thick boys getting blasted on the line.
01:05:52.200
I know whenever my mom, like when I started playing football, and even like whenever I got into the NFL, like she was an absolute nightmare on game day.
01:06:12.560
Would she be in the stands always at the same spot, kind of where you could see her?
01:06:29.360
And looking back on it now, I'm like, I get it because I have kids.
01:06:38.640
Like, I don't know, like, I don't know if we need to put you out here with this.
01:06:42.620
Because I mean, watching them get hit and stuff, it's like, it's hard.
01:06:48.020
And I took it for granted as whenever I was playing.
01:07:04.360
Like, it, and thinking about Cam, my oldest, like, going out there and playing football
01:07:11.180
It's like, gosh, that's going to be tough to watch.
01:07:20.020
You know, some dad's a Lions fan, which has got to be tough.
01:07:24.900
And it's just, you know, that undue pressure on them and, you know, all those things.
01:07:35.180
And you just got to encourage your son as much as you possibly can.
01:07:46.560
What sport, if you had to lead him into a different one, do you think you'd maybe lead him into?
01:07:55.780
I mean, obviously, you can get hit with a ball.
01:07:57.320
So, I mean, the only downside of baseball is you play 162 games.
01:08:09.400
You just come back and be like, wait, where'd you go?
01:08:14.840
I'm friends with Walker Bueller, actually, that went to Vanderbilt.
01:08:17.140
He's probably, him and Joe Musgrover are probably my only two baseball guys, pro baseball men that I know.
01:08:24.240
So, but one thing that's interesting about him, dude, he's kind of a, I don't want to see, he's not a regular size dude, but he throws just out of sheer fury, bro.
01:08:33.600
Like, some guys are like 6'7", you know, but Walker, I mean, he throws out of just a dude who's still angry about this.
01:08:42.440
Dude, in one of his arms, when you see him, he showed me one time, it's like way different.
01:08:47.240
Yeah, his whole right side of his body is probably completely different.
01:08:53.400
It's like, yeah, I mean, this side is doing this, and this side is pulling.
01:09:49.760
No, I don't, I mean, I don't think that'll get you canceled, dude.
01:09:51.780
I think you could meet, I mean, I think you're probably fine.
01:10:04.140
But that was the first time I've ever been around.
01:10:07.820
Yeah, it was the first time I've ever been around a president in, like, the Secret Service.
01:10:20.380
And I was with my buddies, and we were sitting there, and we're like, we're kind of, I don't
01:10:27.640
know, I mean, I probably shouldn't say this, but I will.
01:10:31.860
Not that we're going to do anything, but it's like, all right, you know, like, these
01:10:35.480
guys are, they should be the best of the best, I would say, in the security world.
01:10:43.260
Yeah, but I mean, we're at the Trump, we're at the Trump Hotel at this point.
01:10:45.960
We're in this, you know, conference room, just waiting.
01:10:50.860
And Secret Service is around, and I'm like, you know what?
01:11:01.200
And I'm like, I just don't, but I mean, they have to be super trained.
01:11:06.020
And I was asking my buddy, I was like, do you think you could take that guy?
01:11:09.220
And he's like, probably, he goes, if I train for a year, I could take that guy.
01:11:17.780
Especially when you don't have any time, because.
01:11:19.500
But I think these dudes, these guys, these guys, they've got some, they've got some skill
01:11:26.200
That I don't think you can, you can prepare for in a year.
01:11:31.380
I think you're looking at guys who are probably retired SEALs, that sort of thing.
01:11:39.580
Like, you know, you run into like, MMA guys are everywhere now.
01:11:43.180
So like, you just got to be careful with people.
01:11:49.620
I don't, I mean, I'm not a fighter, so I don't fight people.
01:11:54.480
And like, if you run into the wrong dude in a bar, like, it could go real bad real fast.
01:12:00.480
It used to be kind of like, oh, you know, this guy will win this guy.
01:12:02.860
But now it's like, yeah, with all these headlocks, leg locks, Kimoras, these chokes.
01:12:06.960
Just break your arm in like two seconds and just walk out.
01:12:14.060
So I got a couple of cracked ribs and it was really affecting my workflow.
01:12:25.140
I could barely even hug somebody if I wanted to.
01:12:30.500
I almost had to keep my hands up like this when I should do it.
01:12:33.480
But it was just like less pressure on my body or something.
01:13:02.720
Dude, I remember I had to make out with this girl in a sand trap that had two different
01:13:20.060
So, but yeah, man, I remember one time the hot girl, for some reason, I got, she was down
01:13:38.160
And we went to, oh, and we went to like this dance, and then we're back at my friend's
01:13:47.580
place where I was staying at, and I like, she were like kind of kissing, and I just couldn't
01:13:52.680
believe in my head that this hot girl was giving me an opportunity.
01:13:56.240
So I'm like, I'm just like, I'm just not doing real well.
01:14:00.800
Oh, dude, I'm trying to kiss, but I can't like open, get my mouth.
01:14:05.500
Just like, you know, I've got brains in every part of my body, dude, every, and then I remember
01:14:09.800
trying to like touch her panties and stuff, and I got so nervous, dude, that I just took
01:14:16.220
And then I remember, dude, I remember she got out of the car, and even she was shocked,
01:14:23.940
And I remember pulling over by this frickin', this dock, this boat dock, and fucking crying
01:14:33.120
It was like my own nerves made it so hard for me to like sometimes do things like, even
01:14:39.840
sometimes playing basketball, like if they ever put me a point guard, I'd be so nervous
01:14:48.800
So I was like, if I do this, you know, then I'm okay.
01:14:54.160
That's why I think, I feel like quarterbacks have to have, just not have this nerve thing.
01:15:02.240
I mean, I always got nervous before games, but I think it was more like an anxious type
01:15:05.680
of thing of like, all right, I'm ready to do this.
01:15:14.060
And I know there's guys out there that are scared of failing.
01:15:17.420
And there was probably, I probably had some of that in me.
01:15:22.420
I know I definitely had some of that in high school.
01:15:25.920
But I think once I got to the NFL, like you prepare and like you do everything during the
01:15:30.780
So like you give yourself the best opportunity on Sunday to be ready.
01:15:37.140
But like there is definitely a factor of the unknown out there.
01:15:41.880
Like you're not sure, like, is this going to work?
01:15:44.720
Am I going to be good enough on this given day?
01:15:49.920
And there's definitely those thoughts that run through your brain, for sure.
01:15:57.740
Was that the first girl you ever kissed, Brooke?
01:16:00.900
No, I kissed a different, I kissed a girl before that, Christy.
01:16:13.900
And I would say her last name, but, and she had part of her toothless kind of chips.
01:16:18.200
She kind of had that Lloyd Christmas a little, you know?
01:16:25.220
And like went out by the window and watched us stay in there and try to kiss.
01:16:36.040
There was just, everything was fucking, there's so many perverts around.
01:16:47.220
I mean, school dances were, I mean, you look back on them now and it's like, there was
01:17:12.900
And I think if you're a wreck, you just like press a button or it's like, you know
01:17:20.080
Dude, that's funny, but you got nervous too, even asking girls out and stuff?
01:17:29.460
Yeah, I mean, I was kind of a late bloomer in school, so, and I don't think I, I mean.
01:17:43.240
But like, I grew probably, I grew an inch and a half in college.
01:17:48.940
Because the tall guy had always, I feel like the tall guy always is such a weird thing.
01:17:53.120
If you don't play a sport, then you got to work at the airport usually by the baggage.
01:17:57.820
And it's like, there's not like, so to be tall because you're standing out from the crowd
01:18:02.740
and to not have like a, maybe a skill or something that makes you feel comfortable, that would be scary.
01:18:08.260
Yeah, like if you were like six foot nine and like you didn't play basketball, it's like, what are you doing, bro?
01:18:15.740
At least move to Slovakia and play, like on the internet, you know?
01:18:23.320
Did you, was there a, man, there was a, oh, were there players in the NFL that you think that couldn't read?
01:18:34.500
I don't know how many, but I'm positive there's dudes I can't read.
01:18:44.560
Well, I mean, I think that the NFL is like, it's just, I mean, it's probably the NFL players,
01:18:53.680
they come from different backgrounds in basketball or baseball or soccer.
01:18:58.760
I mean, a lot of these kids from like come from, you know, some tough, tough areas.
01:19:08.480
And, you know, reading and writing is, I'm sure it's less now than what it used to be
01:19:14.120
just because the education and, I mean, social media, like they all have social media.
01:19:25.120
I mean, I remember we had kids at our school definitely that were in eighth grade that couldn't
01:19:36.060
Our national anthem is just a bunch of people just staring at the alphabet, our state, our
01:19:43.520
Here's a question right here from the guy from Friday Night Lights after he, after things
01:19:55.780
My question to Jay is, you know, we hear a lot of stories about how NBA players and NFL
01:20:00.560
players, they go broke within like three years of being out of there respectively.
01:20:07.020
And I know that's not the case with you, Jay, but I would be interested in knowing what
01:20:10.940
your best investment has been with your NFL money and also what your worst investment
01:20:18.760
I know Theo was asked to be an investor in like a Mexican drug cartel zoo or something,
01:20:27.020
A little risky, but could have been a cash cow.
01:20:44.420
I don't feel, I mean, cages probably aren't a good look though.
01:20:56.680
It's just a lot of people you know that are in there probably.
01:21:07.760
I mean, I could make it cool if I had something cool.
01:21:11.660
You know, it's one of those questions like this is either going to be really awesome
01:21:15.500
or is this going to be like, oh, this, this, that was a dumb question because the gas
01:21:24.580
I mean, not like, I just went through a lot of cars.
01:21:29.980
And, you know, not super, like not two, 300,000, $400,000 cars, just like your, you know, your,
01:21:40.500
And like, I would, I would just go, I had a Hummer at one, at one point.
01:21:53.280
And I got to a point where I was like, this is stupid.
01:21:55.260
Like we need to just stop, like just buy a car and just drive it.
01:21:59.460
Instead of doing, yeah, the highly short term one year.
01:22:09.180
I tell you what I like more and I'm on the, on the list for it is the, uh, the, the, are
01:22:31.860
What I'm, I'm on the wait list for the, uh, the Hummer EV.
01:22:43.860
Cause I got on the Cybertruck, but I can't tell if it seems cool or not.
01:22:50.700
And then I can't tell if you're going to be able to get your own tires put onto it or if
01:22:53.920
you have to use the ones that they give you because of just something.
01:22:57.700
This is, see, I feel like this looks a little chunkier than the Bronco.
01:23:04.240
They, they, like this, I think, I think this is going to be, like you said, a little
01:23:12.680
I feel like I probably should have an electric car at some point.
01:23:24.820
So, like, I feel like getting, getting electric might, like, even, even me out some.
01:23:34.760
Put a, pull up the one Kevin Love's always trying to sell on Instagram.
01:23:41.220
Kevin Love, um, it's like a Woody Wagon, I think.
01:24:07.980
Kevin Love definitely doesn't have a Woody Wagon.
01:24:18.620
I tried to, uh, I told, I have a yoga instructor this morning.
01:24:21.360
And I told her I was going to try to set you up with her too.
01:25:05.080
You know, and the back kind of pats back a little.
01:25:09.860
Yeah, I'm trying to think of just one more anything to think about that dance.
01:25:16.960
I would go and get with your friends, and you all planned to go eat somewhere.
01:25:21.600
Was it like a, we went to this place called Fazio's.
01:25:23.880
It was kind of dicey and a lot of divorcees, and people would meet up over there.
01:25:27.780
Their parents to like kind of low-key try and like sneak around.
01:25:32.160
I mean, I grew up in a really small town, and it was just a bunch of like small towns.
01:25:36.760
So it was like, you know, Denny's was the spot.
01:25:40.640
Like after football games or stuff, like, you know, go to Denny's.
01:25:47.380
Because it was right off the interstate, but it was like 20 minutes away.
01:25:52.640
And it was back whenever, like, they had a smoking section.
01:25:59.260
It was probably because everyone in Louisiana smoked.
01:26:09.180
So you even have to go eat there before dances even?
01:26:18.780
It must be interesting being a dad because you kind of get to have this nostalgia where
01:26:21.660
you get to kind of see the other side of the coin and what it's like a little.
01:26:36.660
I mean, just to see them, you know, go through some of the things that you went through and
01:26:41.020
you're able to help them and kind of, you know, there's certain things you're like,
01:26:46.160
Like, you've got to figure this out on your own.
01:26:49.300
It's like, I don't want to shelter you, but I also don't, I love you to death.
01:26:55.040
And it's like, ah, which, where do you land here on some of this stuff?
01:26:59.320
Does it give you a different, it gives you a different respect for your own father,
01:27:05.820
The circle of life, man, it's pretty fascinating.
01:27:12.160
Well, I mean, I knew, but I knew he was going to lose.
01:27:17.620
But, like, I think it would have been good for UFC for him to be back in it.
01:27:23.440
But, like, we went into the fight saying this, he's going to get murdered.
01:27:29.160
I wish he would have made it through that first round.
01:27:33.740
I think it would have gotten even worse in the second round.
01:27:36.380
I think Dustin was going to absolutely destroy him.
01:27:41.600
Like, you know, he's talking shit in the hospital.
01:27:47.500
This dude, I wish I believed in myself that much.
01:27:51.060
Like, this dude's in the hospital, broken leg, just, he's already back.
01:27:58.200
That's like somebody in a coma and he finally gets a first word.
01:28:11.860
It's almost like whatever it is, it doesn't even happen.
01:28:20.460
Dude, it's really interesting because he just started realizing that none of these rappers
01:28:25.200
So he could just talk shit to all of them because none of them were actually going to kill him.
01:28:31.860
Yeah, he's just calling everybody a pussy, just doing whatever he wants, and none of them
01:28:36.520
And so then the next thing you know, he's just like, look at me.
01:28:44.100
Just not even see all the social media, not even see all the thing, and just be your
01:28:48.540
And believe in yourself to the core, a thousand percent.
01:29:02.280
And Jay Cutler's, man, thanks for coming in, bro.
01:29:10.160
Now I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
01:29:22.540
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
01:29:34.420
But it's gonna take a little time for me to set that parking brake and let myself unwind.
01:29:45.760
Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories
01:30:15.720
On the runaway train with a heavy load of my past
01:30:26.160
