3:01
Gimonetti is in New York. I'm on my way
3:04
to New York. Um,
3:06
we're interviewing the great New
3:09
York Jets wide receiver and
3:12
fascinating personality and
3:15
I predict will go on to
3:17
be the next NFL crossover
3:20
media star, same like
3:23
Michael Strahan did, but in his own, his
3:25
own lane, his own, his own way. Mr
3:28
Brandon Marshall New
3:30
York Jets, formerly of the
3:32
Miami Dolphins, the Denver
3:34
Broncos, the Chicago Bears,
3:36
and now he is a new York Jet
3:39
j E t S Jets, Jets
3:41
Jets. Um, let me see what can
3:43
I say about him? He's broken
3:45
so many different records in the NFL.
3:48
He's the only player to have a thousand yards
3:50
receiving with four
3:53
different teams, the Broncos, the
3:55
Dolphins, the Bears, and the Jets, which he did
3:58
last year. Most seasons with a hundred US
4:00
receptions, he's a Hall of Famer.
4:02
Most receptions in an NFL game twenty
4:05
one receptions, which is crazy, twenty
4:07
one receptions in one game. You
4:09
know, we don't fact check here at the Iron Rapports Stereo
4:11
Podcast. Um, but I had to get
4:13
the stats right for for B Marshall. Um.
4:16
Just a cool dude, interesting dude. Um,
4:20
you know he he he was one of these players. If
4:22
you're not a football fan, uh, trust
4:24
me, you're gonna enjoy this interview. He's one of these guys. When
4:26
he first came into the league, you're like, Yo, this dude's
4:28
gonna fizzle out, burnout, a lot of talent,
4:31
headcase. You'd see him arguing
4:33
with you know, his teammates.
4:35
You know you heard about off off the field stuff,
4:37
and then you're just like, yeah, this is this isn't gonna be
4:39
good. Um. But he
4:42
turned it around, and uh he turned it
4:44
around in a in a big way, in a public
4:46
way. Um.
4:48
He was diagnosed with borderline personality
4:50
disorder. UM. And you
4:52
know he's really sort of embraced
4:55
uh, you
4:57
know, his his issues and and
4:59
you there was a great Football Life about him.
5:02
The NFL channel did
5:05
they have this series called Football Life, and they did a great
5:07
uh show on him, and
5:09
and it really talked about you know, he was very open and honest
5:12
about it. And he's been very um active
5:14
in the just the mental health arena.
5:17
And and I love stories of redemption,
5:19
of comebacks of improvement because
5:21
me, uh, speaking for myself, you know, I
5:24
think everybody's a work in progress. And
5:26
I think you gotta have the just the
5:28
impotence in the will to improve yourself. And
5:30
Brandon Marshall, uh, you know, being
5:33
an athlete of football player, tough football
5:35
player, black dude from the hood, he talks all
5:37
about this stuff, you know, to sort of humble
5:40
yourself and and embrace and and uh
5:42
you know, your flaws, and
5:44
to do it in a public form. I just
5:47
I'm really I have a lot of respect from on
5:49
the field off the field, and
5:51
and I love that he's a commentator
5:53
and a broadcaster during the regular
5:55
season, which I'm pretty sure it's the first time
5:57
it's ever been done by anybody. UM
6:00
four showtime inside the NFL program.
6:03
So I'm really looking forward to talking to b Marshall.
6:05
The fucking guy. He had a punctured loan
6:08
planning football. UM
6:10
and he's just he's a badass. He's
6:12
a bad motherfucker. So I'm gonna interview Brandon Marshall.

7:43
there's a lot of ship going on. I
7:45
I don't want to pontificate,
7:49
um about what's going
7:51
on in the world. I don't
7:53
feel like I can articulate myself
7:56
good enough. I
7:59
was I honestly had Literally
8:01
is the first time in my life I had an actual nightmare
8:05
the night of the attacks in Nice,
8:07
France. Um,
8:11
I'm so concerned about everybody, including
8:14
myself myself. I don't know where the world is going.
8:17
I hope uh it all improves.
8:20
Um, I have no answers, but
8:23
I I am. I am
8:26
just devastated concerned
8:28
about about the the just the whole world in
8:31
general, the United States, and
8:33
uh, I just I just wanted
8:36
to articulate that and and and let
8:38
you know that that everybody here
8:40
at the Iron Rapport stereo podcast.
8:43
Herd goes out to to everybody who's affected
8:45
by by what's happened recently. Forget forgetting
8:47
nice, Uh not saying forgetting nice,
8:50
you know, just in nice. The
8:52
brutality with the police, the brutality
8:55
on the police. Um, it's
8:58
all over all over the world. Is it's frightening
9:00
time. They tried to have a fucking
9:02
coup in Turkey the
9:04
other day and that didn't work. I don't even
9:06
know the details of that. I'm gonna get
9:08
Eli and Lake, the unofficial
9:11
official Iron Reports stereo podcast political
9:13
correspondent on this week to hopefully
9:16
articulate and explain what really went
9:18
down in in in in uh
9:20
in Turkey. UM, I know, a coup
9:23
is when they pretty much try to overthrow
9:26
the government. And they tried to do that and
9:28
then they didn't work out, and now they have like two
9:30
thousand, eight hundred and I think
9:32
fifty something soldiers
9:34
who they're gonna get executed. That that's how they
9:37
get down over there. Um, you try
9:39
to overthrow the government, like you don't,
9:41
you don't go back home for mashed potatoes.
9:44
Um, which is again, it's it's
9:46
just it's more death, It's it's
9:48
it's more. I
9:51
don't know, I I don't even I don't even know what the funk
9:53
happened in Turkey. But uh, you
9:55
know that that's I'm not I'm not great in
9:57
politics and world events. That's why we have Eli
9:59
Lake, the Iron Raport stereo podcast
10:01
political correspondent, and he'll beyond this week.
10:04
Um, I'm a big UFC guy. I'm
10:06
not like Mr UFC. I watched
10:09
those fights last week. Each one
10:11
was more brutal and violent than the next.
10:13
Pretty much. Uh brock
10:15
Lessner who
10:19
looks like he's fake, Uh
10:21
pretty much looks like an incredible
10:24
hulk, Like he looks like something out of a movie. Um
10:27
a goon, a real goon, like
10:29
a Viking type of white goon. Um
10:33
kicked the ship out of this guy
10:35
who's an ass kicker in himself. Lesner
10:38
totally dominate him wrestling
10:41
wise, and you know, ground and pound of beat the ship
10:43
out of him. And and just the other day it came out
10:45
that brock Lesner after
10:48
the fight was tested for some sort
10:50
of pe D performance enhancing
10:53
drug or they don't. They
10:55
don't. They don't disclose what kind of drug it
10:57
is, but they're saying
10:59
that, you know, after the fight,
11:01
they they that he was something
11:04
happened and in his testing. I don't know why they
11:06
don't make it totally public. They make they make so many
11:08
other things like they make, you know, so many other
11:10
things public. This guy beat the ship out
11:12
of this guy. I can't remember the guy he fought the San Iron rapport
11:14
SEEO podcast says, you know, we don't fact check um,
11:17
but he should have his entire purse go
11:19
to the other guy that he beat up UM
11:21
and he should be banned for life. You can kill somebody
11:25
in in UFC. I
11:27
don't want it to happen, but but I feel like it's
11:29
inevitably going to happen one
11:31
of these big fights. I funk with Dana White, I
11:33
funk with Joe Rogan, I funk with the whole community.
11:36
But I feel like they need to have some sort of standing
11:38
a count or stop the fight. You a
11:41
guy, a fighter, a trained fighter, can't
11:43
just be the one to say, oh,
11:45
I'm gonna stop when I when I want to stop, because
11:48
these guys are trained not to stop. They
11:50
tap out when their arms about to break or when they're
11:52
about to like literally be choked out. But
11:55
but there has to be some in between. So
11:58
so brock Lessner is apparent only
12:00
use some some some something p E
12:02
d S. I just assume it's steroids. I
12:04
don't know how that's gonna play out. But his whole purse should
12:06
go to the guy he beat up, and he should be banned.
12:09
And and John Jones who was kicked off the
12:11
card. Uh, the guy he was gonna
12:13
fight won his fight. Daniel
12:15
Cormier. I'm not sure if I'm saying
12:17
his name right. Again, we don't fact check here at the Army Reports
12:20
Stereo podcast. He fought Anderson Silva,
12:22
whose leg literally
12:24
broken half a couple of years ago
12:26
during a fight. If you're not a UFC guy, it was
12:29
disgusting, um, but he's still
12:31
fighting again. It shows, uh,
12:33
what kind of mentality it is if if you break
12:36
your leg in half, and then two years later you're
12:38
still fighting at a high level. You're a fucking
12:40
nut job. Every time Anderson
12:42
Silver goes to kick, I'm like, this guy's leg's
12:45
gonna break in half again. Anyway,
12:48
the brock Lessons should have bugged out. Um,
12:51
Tom Brady, you fuck you, Bill Burr,
12:53
You fuck you Bill Simmons, You fuck you
12:55
Ben Affleck, Larry Bird, Bobby
12:58
Or it's over, It's sucking
13:00
over, it's done. You
13:02
can make your excuses, your conspiracy
13:04
theories. You oh, why do you
13:07
care? But listen, I'm from New York.
13:10
I love Boston. I love
13:12
people from Boston. Boston
13:14
has been through their own terror and their own trauma.
13:17
So I funk with Boston Boston strong.
13:20
But when it comes to the sports, Okay,
13:23
okay, you guys have an inferiority
13:26
complex. I don't give a fuck. Okay,
13:29
I don't care about your your your a couple of
13:31
Super Bowl rings and and your rinky dinky
13:33
World Series titles. I don't know nothing about the
13:35
NHL. So apparently you guys want to Stanley
13:38
Cup recently. I don't know. Um,
13:41
I'm glad the Big Three one with the Celtics,
13:44
but I'm also glad that Tom Brady is gonna be sitting
13:46
here eating TV dinners the first four
13:48
games of the NFL season, and
13:50
that's that's the end of this fucking deflate Kate
13:53
Ship concede. Okay,
13:55
Now, Tom Brady, you're up there with Shoolas,
13:57
Joe Johnson, Barry Bonds,
14:00
Sammy Sosa and the rest of the cheating
14:02
Fox. That's that's the way it is. Okay,
14:05
he conceded. There's no more fighting.
14:08
Don't embarrass yourself, don't embarrass
14:10
don't embarrass the Patriots way, don't embarrass
14:12
air Aaron Hernandez. He doesn't need
14:14
any more embarrassment. Concede.
14:17
Don't bring it to the Supreme Court. I know in the
14:19
last podcast when I was speaking to I mean Ellison,
14:22
I said, Supreme Court, I made a mistake. I don't fact
14:24
check. I don't fact
14:26
check. Okay, but Tom Brady, you finally
14:29
did the right thing and you conceded, and everyone's
14:31
who oh. I don't
14:34
mind a piste off tom Brady coming
14:36
back five games into the seas and
14:38
a pisto off arrested Tom Brady
14:41
coming back five games into the season. What
14:44
am I supposed to be scared? Ben Affleck, Dennis
14:47
Leary, Matt Damon,
14:49
and I am I supposed to be nervous about this, all
14:51
the new kids on the block. I'm not nervous about
14:53
this. Win another super Bowl.
14:56
You're never going to be able to take back
14:58
what the giants took for you the
15:01
last time we did it. You tried to go
15:03
for perfection and
15:06
we took it. That's
15:09
the end of U, Tom Brady. That's the end of the sucking the
15:11
flake gate. That's it. It's over. I
15:15
love the CrossFit culture. I
15:19
I stopped doing CrossFit. I did it for about six
15:21
months. Um, I don't
15:23
know exactly why I didn't continue
15:25
doing it. I liked it. Sometimes some of the exercises
15:28
were like, when am I ever going to do this, the
15:31
rope climbing thing. I'm forty
15:33
six, I'm never climbing a rope.
15:36
Okay, uh you know. But
15:39
but I like the whole culture. I respect it. But
15:41
the CrossFit games, which has become ginormous,
15:44
it'll never be like the UFC, but it's the same type
15:46
of thing. CrossFit games. Yeah, CrossFit games.
15:48
There are an ESPN billion dollar
15:50
business. Humongous, humongous, humongous.
15:53
Some assholes, uh
15:57
at the CrossFit Games have the side
16:00
did okay
16:02
to give out two million dollars in prize
16:04
money and
16:08
and a glock handgun.
16:12
That's that's correct. The sponsor of the CrossFit
16:14
Games is Reebok, So you could win
16:16
two million dollars and a glock handgun
16:19
if you're the biggest goon, God
16:21
bless you at the CrossFit Games. This
16:26
is this is classless and stupid
16:28
and and and it's not the right time to be to
16:31
be giving out guns to winners of competitions.
16:33
I've never heard of that. Give him
16:35
a vacation, a car I
16:38
don't know, a living room set, some furniture,
16:41
a new a new UH refrigerator
16:44
and the two million dollars. Don't give a fucking
16:46
gun to the winner of of of a sports contest.
16:49
There's too much going on. I don't care if
16:51
you can listen, listen
16:55
the gun thing and it needs to be dealt with,
16:57
okay, and you don't need to be that that shouldn't be
16:59
like an incentive to to win by
17:02
getting a gun. UH for winning
17:04
the CrossFit Games on um
17:08
ESPN sponsored by Reebok, bad
17:10
bad choice, no good and
17:12
and and and and UH. I wasn't
17:15
gonna watch the CrossFit games. But now I'm really
17:17
not. Wow, I'm banning the fucking CrossFit games.
17:19
How about that? I'm starting. I'm starting
17:22
a campaign to ban the CrossFit games. It's it's

of the Week, It's earned and
18:03
not killing you did what? No,
18:08

18:13
A gentleman named dray Von dray
18:15
Van dray Von
18:18
Hampleton dray Von I don't know
18:21
d A V I O N. Dray Von
18:24
was arrested okay
18:27
the other day in Florida. Shocker. Um.
18:30
This guy couldn't couldn't have been totally sober.
18:32
He had to be on some of that bombing
18:34
fluid. Uh which
18:36
I'm gonna get to next because we have a
18:38
double six funk of the week this week.
18:41
Um. It was arrested
18:43
for robbing a bank. Um, and that wasn't
18:45
the worst of it. You you, you don't get to become
18:47
the sick funk of the week for for just robbing a bank.
18:50
Um. While he was at the Sheriff's office
18:52
in Lee County, Florida. That just sounds
18:55
like a nefarious place to Lee
18:57
County. UM. Mr
18:59
Hampleton asked to use the restroom.
19:02
The deputy said, okay, go go, go
19:04
to use the restroom. This fucking guy comes
19:06
out of the restroom covered and ship.
19:10
The newspapers calls it feces. I
19:12
say shit. He came out of the restroom
19:15
covered and ship, and he had ship, or
19:18
his own feces in his hands, and he threw
19:20
it at the deputies in the court.
19:24
I can imagine the deputies in the courts. I'm surprised
19:26
this guy didn't escape, because if you throw shit at me,
19:28
I don't care if I'm trained in any way, shape
19:31
or form, I'm going to flee. Okay,
19:34
But these guys are obviously braver than I am,
19:37
and and and they were able to restrain, Mr
19:39
Hambleton. But
19:42
congratulations again. You're
19:44
bank robbing didn't get you to be the sick
19:46
funk of the week, but throwing shit
19:49
and rubbing it all over yourself it
19:51
did so, so congratulations to that
19:54
Miles que Uh the sick funk of the week
19:57

20:01

20:05
in Pennsylvania. Neighbor
20:08
thought something might be wrong. I thought
20:10
the guy was weird. A couple
20:12
of weeks later, police showed up. They
20:15
removed a box from his home. His
20:17
neighbor saw it put it in a police vehicle.
20:20
A few weeks after that, they
20:23
revealed what was in the in the box, a
20:26
human brain. Sick
20:28
funk of the Week Joshua Lee Long stole
20:32
a human brain um
20:35
and then was dousing it in
20:38
his weed and his pills because
20:40
I guess the the the form melde
20:42
hyde is that is that what it is for melde hyde
20:45
uh and and and the drugs that they used to to
20:47
to to store embombing fluid.
20:51
Uh. They'd spray the embombing fluid on the
20:53
weed to to get a higher high
20:56
um from a brain. The the the
20:58
the Cumberland any people,
21:02
they don't know where the funk he got the brain from.
21:04
They think that he might have dug
21:07
it up from a corpse. And
21:09

21:12
serious, serious drug problem.
21:15

25:43
sure about the White Gooden, but definitely check
25:46
out the espn Um.
25:50
Daryl Strawberry admitted to freaking
25:53
off in between innings during
25:55
games he was playing in which
25:58
which I don't know if that puts him in a world
26:00
class stickman category, but
26:03
he definitely is up up for
26:05
consideration. Okay, he was he
26:08
was fucking in between innings
26:10
while he played for the New York mets. Uh.
26:14
That's impressive. What's
26:16
also impressive speaking of stickman Coxman,
26:20
And I don't know how I've never brought this up
26:23
when when I've gone over the list of of of
26:25
great Coxman, I know there's a long, long,
26:28
long list, and I know that there's people I forget
26:30
and and believe me, I mean no disrespect
26:33
when I forget some of the greats. Mick
26:36
Jagger, Yes, you're like, yes,
26:38
yes, Mick Jagger, world
26:42
class Coxman, fantastic
26:46
stickman is
26:49
having his his eighth kid. I believe
26:51
at seventy two years
26:54
old, you're that dude.
26:56
Mick Jagger. First of all, I apologize for for
26:58
never bringing you up in
27:01
the conversation of great stickman. Um
27:06
My respect goes out
27:08
from the beginning to too. Now he's
27:11
been getting it in again. I
27:13
want to also articulately something Being
27:16
a stickman it doesn't mean necessarily
27:18
being a pig. Being a savage doesn't
27:21
necessarily mean you're a great coxman.
27:23
These are these are two separate things. Okay,
27:25
so just because you're a savage doesn't mean you're a great
27:28
coxman. Okay, there's a certain genesee
27:30
qua uh
27:33
that that great stickman have. Okay,
27:35
it's not just it's it's not just the quantity,
27:38
it's the quality. And and and Mit
27:40
Jagger is is up there top ten
27:42
of all time for sure. So no disrespect
27:45
um that I haven't brought you up.
27:48
Congratulations on on being
27:50
able to to to still put out
27:52
that super sperm um.
27:54
And and hopefully you're gonna have a healthy, uh
27:57
new child soon. But but his his lady
27:59
is aegnit And and yo,
28:02
my hackers off to you, Mick Jagger. I
28:04
funk with you, hard body karate. Um
28:09
what else is going on? This
28:11
is what they call the the the dog
28:13
days of sports. And and and I've
28:15
been watching a little bit of NBA
28:19
Summer League, which is a
28:21
little bit like uh, you know, the
28:24
the the the quality of the games are are very
28:26
indicative of the summer there. You know, slow
28:30
you know, sometimes boring, sometimes
28:33
exciting, but but but in general they're
28:35
just kind of like their slow motion like a
28:37
really hot, hot summer day. I
28:40
don't think that was a good analogy, but I tried.
28:43
But Ben Simmons, the number one pick in the draft.
28:45
I gotta tell you, I'm worried
28:47
about about this fucking guy. This
28:50
fucking guy. This is so much of
28:53
the selfie millennial
28:56
mentality. This fucking guy sat
28:59
out in what was like
29:01
his six seventh or eighth, maybe ninth.
29:03
Again, we don't fact check at the Iron Reports Stereo
29:05
podcast sat out a summer league game. Was
29:07
he hurt? No, he just
29:10
you know, didn't didn't play. Now, whether
29:13
his coaches suggested it, I I can't
29:15
imagine that, or he suggested you're
29:17
tired. You're nineteen, You're
29:19
the first pick in the NBA draft, and you're sitting
29:21
out and then during the game you're sitting on the fucking
29:24
bench eating French fries and
29:26
taking pictures with with with fans.
29:30
You're the first round pick eating
29:33
French fries on the bench. You fucking
29:36
French frying eating Cox suck. Are
29:38
you you got big fucking
29:40
balls? Ben Simmons, I'm
29:44
I'm I'm concerned about that. If I was the coach,
29:46
I'd be like, ye had no motherfucker
29:49
nah, put the French fries
29:51
down. Now you're gonna run laps. Okay,
29:53
you don't want to play. You're gonna run laps during the gym
29:55
during an NBA Summer League game. You
29:58
need to set the precedent off the top. You're
30:00
sitting out during a summer league game. Get the funk
30:03
out of here. I don't know anyway,
30:05
we're coming up with Brandon Marshall. B Marshall,
30:09
Um, you know, I talked a lot about basketball, but I used
30:11
to play football growing up. I
30:13
used to. I used to get it in until I was
30:15
about thirteen, you know, and then
30:17
the coaches were like, please take him off
30:19
the field. He's gonna kill somebody out here. I was.
30:21
I was that kind of dude. I was vicious. Um.
30:24
You know, they begged me to stop, Please please take
30:27
him off the team. He's he's he's
30:29
going to kill somebody. And and I don't
30:31
necessarily think they meant it in a good way. Um.

32:32
pre training camp. So you enjoying
32:35
the the off season. So let me let me just
32:37
get into this more. Man, how
32:40
are you enjoying living in New York and playing
32:42
in New York? Because I gotta tell you, I don't think I can
32:44
remember somebody who's a quote
32:46
unquote out of town er coming
32:48
to New York and embracing everything
32:51
that being a New York professional
32:54
athlete can
32:56
give and can do and and
32:58
and and you seem to really, you know, once
33:00
you got traded to the Jets, you seem to have, uh, you
33:03
enjoyed at the moment you arrived. So, so, how how
33:05
are you liking the New York lifestyle? You
33:08
know what to be to be honest with you, man,
33:11
you know, obviously I'm not from
33:13
New York, but I am
33:15
so New York, you know, like
33:17
my personality, you know, it
33:19
is everything about me. You know, I
33:22
feel like I fit right into the city. You
33:24
know, even like right now, I'm looking
33:26
at the Brooklyn Bridge, um
33:30
looking at the Manhattan Bridge, I'm looking at
33:32
downtown because I just
33:34
moved to Brooklyn and I
33:36
absolutely loved it, man, Like it's
33:39
crazy. It reminds me like Brooklyn
33:41
reminds me of my hometown,
33:44
like Pittsburgh East Liberty. So I'm
33:46
walking around and just the culture and the people.
33:49
It just makes me feel at
33:51
home. And when you feel at home, you're
33:53
energized. When you're energized, man,
33:56
I just you go on that field or in that quarter,
33:58
in that office, and you just turned into
34:00
a monster. And and that's why
34:02
I love living in the city. And I and and
34:05
I just said no to living
34:07
in the suburbs because every time
34:09
I come through that tunnel or every time you
34:12
know, I dropped into the city, it
34:14
just refused me. Man. There's so
34:16
much energy, so much amazing
34:19
like stuff going on. It's like, yo,
34:21
I want to play here as long as I can, because
34:24
I want to feel this every single day.
34:26
You know, that's dope that you live in Brooklyn. Man. I
34:28
I don't know if I know of any other
34:31
professional athlete I've
34:33
ever even heard of living in Brooklyn. Man. So that's
34:35
that's crazy, man, that that's that's that's
34:37
cool. Man. That's good. You sound like you've got some a
34:40
nice view. You got every guy damn bridge. You said, you
34:42
can see every damn bridge from where you're standing right now.
34:44
You you got a nice spot. Oh
34:46
man, Yeah, I got the Manhattan I'm in between
34:49
the Manhattan Bridge the
34:51
Brooklyn Bridge, and you can see the Statue
34:53
of Liberty. I see the Freedom Or that's
34:55
beautiful. Man, it's just amazing. I literally
34:58
wake up up five in the morning and I look
35:00
outside my window be like, wow, that's
35:03
dope. You know, I was telling somebody, I
35:05
was telling somebody the other day. You know, it's
35:07
almost like you
35:09
know, because I could never I could never figure
35:11
out like when I even like up until like a month
35:13
ago before I moved in, I couldn't
35:16
figure out, like why would people live right
35:18
by the bridge? It sounds no easy, doesn't
35:20
seem comfortable. And once
35:22
I started looking at it, I was like, Okay,
35:25
this this can work, and I pulled the
35:27
trigger. And then once I moved in, it's
35:30
it's it reminds me of like living by
35:32
the Rocky because I also played in
35:35
Denver. You know, those bridges, man,
35:37
are so amazing. I'm getting goose pints right
35:39
now just talking about it. But
35:41
when you wake up and you see it, it's
35:44
amazing. Bro. That's that's
35:47
dope man, that I'm I'm happy for you that you I
35:49
honestly I'm happy for you. And I'm jealous man because
35:51
I'm I'm mostly in l A. So that that's
35:53
just that's just dope. And I love that you
35:56
know, somebody is is prominent as you you
35:58
know, took to Brooklyn. Because that's just that's
36:01
just dope. So so so what do you
36:03
what are you enjoying more? Because you
36:05
know, when I first met you, I told you I love
36:08
watching you on showtime on Inside
36:10
the NFL. And and and I really think
36:13
you've emerged as a great personality,
36:15
a great broadcaster. Um. You
36:18
know, I don't think. Maybe I'm wrong, but
36:20
I don't think I've ever seen anybody in any
36:22
sport who is simultaneously
36:25
a star in his sport and
36:27
then also commenting on it during
36:30
the season. And and you know, and I
36:32
think that you know the culmination of especially
36:35
the interview you did last season with
36:37
pac Man Jones after the incident with the Steelers.
36:40
You know, I think you really like you. You you and
36:42
you asked them the hard questions. You didn't you know, you
36:44
didn't baby him, You asked the fair questions.
36:47
But your point of view comes from somebody
36:49
who's not only done it, but who's
36:52
actually doing it. So so
36:54
you seem like you're having a good time where you are
36:56
you still are you still loving football as
36:59
much as you love and broadcasting because I
37:01
see, I see, uh, Michael
37:03
Strahand part two coming up for you,
37:05
my man, Hey,
37:08
listen, that's an owner to be mentioned
37:11
in the same breath as Michael Strahand.
37:13
But to be honest with you, man, uh,
37:16
this past year and they haf like,
37:18
well, I soon as I got traded to New York,
37:21
he kind of like, uh re energized
37:23
me. I think I needed that, you
37:25
know, just the way things went down to Chicago.
37:28
And I absolutely love Chicago. I still
37:30
love Chicago. Might love
37:32
Chicago. Uh So it was great
37:35
to be here. And then once I got here
37:37
in the locker room with all the guys, moved
37:39
into the city. I lived in Tribeca last
37:41
year, I was I just
37:44
like just start falling in love with just where
37:47
I'm at in life again. Meanings
37:49
just like playing football and
37:51
bro, I never loved football more
37:55
ever in my life, and I love football now. Like I'm
37:58
like so excited about this year. I
38:01
just feel like, not only do we have a
38:03
great team, but I just love where
38:05
I'm at mentally physically, because
38:07
that's what you need. Man Like when when you can go to
38:09
work every single day and it's not works, it's
38:12
an awesome killing, it's beautiful.
38:14
And when it comes to the television part, yeah,
38:17
when it comes to the broadcasting part, Brother, to be honest
38:19
with you, you know, I didn't know what I was doing,
38:21
you know, and I'm just trying to get
38:23
better at every single sex segment, every
38:26
single show, every single year. Um,
38:28
And the way I look at it and the way I approach
38:30
it is, you know, trying
38:33
to define my seat. How do I define my seat?
38:36
And the way I define my seat is pretty
38:38
much, um taking
38:40
the viewer inside the locker
38:43
room, like, that's my seat. That's who
38:45
I am. Like, I don't try to be anyone else.
38:47
I beat myself up there and my
38:50
perspectiveness. Listen, this is
38:53
how the active player feels. This is how
38:55
the active player walks, This is how the active
38:57
player talked, you know. And you can't
38:59
see that anywhere else, you know. So that's
39:01
what I try to live in right here when I'm
39:04
on television. Well, you're you're doing a good
39:06
job at it. And I think it's I think it's
39:08
it's groundbreaking. I love it and
39:10
and I think you really do bring that insight,
39:13
you know, like you're you know, you
39:15
probably banged up, and then you show up and you're you're
39:17
talking about your games, You're talking about the other games
39:20
and and and honestly, I love it. So so
39:22
are are your opponents treating
39:25
you different now that you're you're on
39:27
TV week after weeks? So if you score on them
39:29
or they you know, are are the players you're going
39:31
against, you know, treating you a little different? And secondly
39:34
to that question, out of all the players
39:36
in the NFL, who talks the most shit?
39:39
So so the two part questions. All
39:43
right, So the first part is you
39:45
know, yes, they give
39:47
me more respect, like you know, you
39:49
know, it's it's it's it's crazy.
39:52
Not only players for coaches, you know, walk
39:54
up to me and like, man, you're doing a great job on the show,
39:56
or man, I love your point, or
39:58
some of my teammates, you bro, what sup like
40:01
that that suit you wore last So they're terrible,
40:04
you know what I mean. So that's
40:06
what's That's the interesting thing that's happening
40:08
around the league with me as far as being
40:10
on inside of the NFL on showtime
40:13
is that you know, guys are really uh
40:16
appreciating it, and and one of the questions
40:18
they always ask is like, how the heck do
40:21
you do it? You know, like you're
40:23
bold for taking that step. And that's
40:25
one of the reasons why I actually did is because guys,
40:28
I'm trying to show guys that you
40:30
can do more. You're more than just a football player.
40:32
And I think guys are realizing that with new
40:34
age with people are trying to do more,
40:37
but I think they're afraid to stand
40:39
up and say, listen, you know, while I'm
40:41
playing, I still have time
40:44
to do other things. You know. That's
40:46
what guy's get in troubles where they're trying to wait. You
40:49
know, when they're done, and when you're done, nobody cares
40:51
about you. They're they're they're looking, they're
40:53
looking for the next guy, the next Brandon
40:55
Marshall. You know, like right now they cared all they care
40:57
about Antonio Brown and and and
40:59
oh up that come junior. You know, so
41:02
you better get it while you got a chance. And
41:04
the other part two question is the
41:07
biggest talk the biggest trash
41:09
talker man. I
41:12
would have to say, uh, fontast
41:15
Birfit from Cincinnati.
41:18
Uh, he talks a lot of trash, but
41:21
he's like he's an angry
41:23
man out there. It's not like I wouldn't even call
41:25
that trash. He's talking trash to me is almost
41:28
like within the game. It comes with the game,
41:30
you know, it's a part of the game. You need
41:32
to have that, but like he takes it to a
41:35
whole another level, gets real personal. You
41:37
know, there's there's there's boundaries that
41:39
you shouldn't cross. I remember Carmelo
41:42
Anthony having an incident on the court. You know, someone
41:44
said something to him and you
41:46
know it's cool to tunk trash, but
41:49
you can't. There's certain things that's offen
41:51
it. Know. Um yeah,
41:54
So like I think vontast
41:57
you might not even be a trash talker. It's just a
41:59
third. He's a dirty talker. But
42:01
the biggest trash soccer man,
42:05
I don't even know. Man, Okay, there's a
42:07
lot of guys out there is when
42:10
you're going when you when you have somebody that's
42:12
taking it to another level as far as what
42:14
they're saying and like their their tone.
42:17
Are you like, do you engage because you know
42:19
sometimes you know you've had a history of engaging
42:21
with ship or do you just laugh at
42:23
it at this point in your career do you like, yeah,
42:25
are you just like Yo, this dude is just bugging out and I'm
42:27
just gonna just beat his ass? Like, how do you approach it
42:30
now that you're you know, you've you've you how
42:32
old are you? Brandon man?
42:35
So? Yeah, so listen, don't say thirty
42:37
two. I'm forty six. You say thirty two like you're
42:39
an old man. Okay, I'm forty six
42:41
years old. You don't know what it's like waking up for
42:44
forty six year old Jewish guy from New York. I
42:46
don't even play football. You think your your legs
42:48
and your hips hurt. Okay, you
42:50
don't know what it's like for me. Okay, but but
42:52
so so. But now that you've played so many
42:54
years the league, how do you deal with guys like that where their
42:57
personality you're just like, it's like, you know, this guy's
42:59
this guy's on another planet. You know what?
43:03
What the what the bird man say with some respect
43:05
for my name? Yeah, I got
43:07
like that type of attitude and the field like you
43:09
talk trash to me, You talk trash
43:12
to me. I ignore you. I may even
43:14
I made s now like you. But the reason
43:17
why I don't feed into that and talk back bros,
43:19
Because I'm conserving all my energy
43:21
for a football like I don't have time to I'd
43:24
be tired up there, bro. So I don't
43:26
get into all that bantering back
43:28
and forth. But when you dirty
43:30
talk to me, you talk about my kids,
43:33
you talk about my wife, it ain't
43:35
about football anymore anymore.
43:38
I mean example, as you're planning against
43:40
the Giants, and uh, Dick Jenkins
43:42
said something that it was across
43:45
you know, across that Learne and
43:47
uh we had like a path, we had
43:49
a run play on and I was supposed to go out and block
43:52
the corner, and I was supposed to be like way
43:54
out by the sideline. Well what
43:56
I did is I cut my stuet
43:58
all the way down there by the britishaw fergan.
44:01
So my split is cut dramatically.
44:04
Um I was closed to go block the corner.
44:07
I abandoned my responsibility and ramp
44:10
right to him and just like try to crack
44:14
almost tackled Chris Ivory. But
44:17
it was so funny. The coaches was like, oh my gosh,
44:19
this dude is going in there to hit a
44:21
three hundred thirty coundar, you
44:24
know, you know, And I picked the right situations,
44:26
like you know, there was a last player. It was like one of the last
44:28
players of half. We weren't trying to get
44:30
a first now. I was just trying to run the clock out. So
44:33
I'm smart with it. But I'll do something,
44:36
you know, way way to the left
44:38
to get your attention and let you know, like look,
44:41
stay within those lines. I hear you, I
44:43
hear you. You know, you know what you know? It
44:45
is your accent, like the way you
44:47
speak sometimes when I hear you on showtime
44:50
and now I'm listening to you now on the phone. Is
44:52
that like a Pittsburgh thing? Because it almost sounds
44:54
like you got like a British accent. Has anyone ever
44:56
told you that before? Is that a funny question? Is
44:59
that like Pittsburgh something? Well,
45:03
a lot of people always uh, you know, shake
45:06
something about my action. But I'm from Pittsburgh
45:08
originally, and then I moved to Florida,
45:11
so I get like this each coat
45:13
southern plain thing going on, you
45:15
know. Alright, alright, because it's
45:17
I'm like, yo, is this dude like did he have like a stint
45:20
in London or some ship? It's cool, I
45:22
just it's just it's just it's unique, all
45:24
right. So let me let me let me get back to
45:26
uh to let me get to the Jets.
45:29
What's the deal with Fitzpatrick? Who's
45:32
gonna be your quarterback? And and are do you like,
45:35
like, how do you deal
45:37
with that knowing that you have a chemistry
45:39
with Fitzpatrick? It's a business, you
45:41
know, the Jets and Fitzpatrick have to figure out
45:44
their business. But are you concerned? Do you
45:46
get involved with that? I
45:48
mean smarting involvement? You know, obviously
45:51
I'm players, so you
45:53
know, there's not much I can do and
45:55
when it comes to the business side, but you
45:57
know, I am very uh inquisitive,
46:02
you know, um, you know,
46:04
but that is that's as far as it goes. I
46:07
try to give support to the player, you know, like
46:09
not only you know Fish, but he's
46:12
in big mode, like you know, understanding what
46:14
they're going through. Because I've been through it. I
46:16
don't know what's going on, bro, you know,
46:19
like to be honest, men, Fish caught every day
46:21
all the time. But I checked this dude
46:24
the last two weeks three times and there's
46:26
no response. So the only
46:29
thing that he can tell me right now, uh,
46:31
to make it right is, hey, bro, I
46:34
was out of the country or I was
46:36
on vacation, so it's not like him.
46:38
So it's it's scared me right now. It's it's
46:40
scared me that my guy as it checks
46:43
me back when we face time.
46:45
Um, we texted call you
46:48
know all the time. So
46:50
all right, I hope that worked that it's scary
46:53
right now. I hear you are, okay, cool
46:55
because because I I mean, you guys had a good thing
46:57
going, and you know, you you almost
46:59
made it to the playoffs, and I think that you you'll you'll
47:02
build on that for next season. And and you
47:04
know, I've always liked Fitzpatrick, so I hope
47:06
they get it worked out if you had.
47:09
First of all, do you mess with fantasy football
47:11
at all? How a where are the players
47:13
of fantasy football? You know, I'm a fantasy
47:16
football beast. I don't know if you know this about
47:18
me, like they call me the beast. I
47:20
don't play around with my fantasy football okay,
47:23
but how how where are you of
47:25
fantasy football? And here's the second part. If
47:27
you were playing fantasy football excluding
47:30
yourself, who would be your number one pick?
47:32
Who would you pick number one for fantasy? Well?
47:36
I think football, I think players do pay
47:38
attention. But you gotta realize, man, A lot of guys
47:40
say, oh, I don't pay attention, I don't read things,
47:42
but they actually do. Many a lot of us
47:45
are ego maniacs, you know, So you
47:47
know, guys want to know like what what what?
47:50
What are what are people saying about me?
47:52
Or where they drafted me? That that's a
47:54
big thing. Like guys you that as
47:56
stuel you know you draft to get on
47:59
and and you of late rounds, you
48:01
know they get a little a
48:03
little feisty about that. Um
48:06
For me personally, like, I'm not, I
48:08
don't play it. I played it my second
48:10
year. I was like me Tony
48:12
Scheffler, J Cutler and a couple of
48:15
you know, regular dudes. That
48:17
was fun. That was awesome. What I should do it again? You
48:19
know what I made? Do it again? Come on, man, you
48:21
want to get down with my Fantasy League be marshal,
48:24
because you know what
48:26
I think I'll do that. I think, God,
48:29
that would be so much fun. That would
48:31
be so much fun. And I played for
48:34
small steaks when I played for him, Oh
48:36
that would be incredible. And I don't
48:39
I played for the money. Is not the thing for
48:41
me. It's the ship talking because when you want to
48:43
talk about ship talking, I'm I'm
48:45
I'm I'm seriously forget the NFL,
48:48
the NBA, Muhammad Ali. I'm
48:50
up there with the best of the best.
48:52
So if if I win, I talk ship.
48:55
But when I lose, when I'm down, I feel
48:57
like I'm even a better ship talker. I would be
48:59
I would love that so much, and I think
49:01
it would be such a learning experience. All right, So
49:03
if you are in my league or in
49:06
any league, I'm not gonna hold you to it, but I will
49:08
hold you to it. Who would be your first
49:11
pick? Uh?
49:14
You know? So see, I gotta
49:16
get you know, reacclaimed with fantasy
49:18
football. It's the peace. So
49:20
obviously you gotta you gotta get a skilled
49:22
position because those
49:25
are the guys put the most point. So what is it?
49:27
Quarterbacks? I
49:30
thought with quarterbacks first, if I was to
49:32
say, who would I pick? Like most of these
49:34
know it alls, and these know it alls they wear
49:36
suits. They've never been out on the gridiron
49:39
like you like me, They've never been on there.
49:41
They've never been sweating. They don't put the work
49:43
in. Okay, but I like to go with a quarterback
49:45
first. But that's just me. I'm a winner. A
49:47
lot of these people, and the different leagues have different
49:50
scoring. So but if that's the for if
49:52
that's the form of you, that's the right form you. Again,
49:54
I'm gonna go with quarterback two. And you
49:56
know what, I'm surprissed this year, not
49:59
surprised quarter like he's Jake Cutler. I think he's gonna
50:01
light it up? You do? How come that
50:05
was a joke? Bro a comedian. I
50:13
knew I was a weird a weird choice,
50:16
but I was all right, I got you, I got you, I got you,
50:18
all right, You're
50:20
funny man. Actually, I think I do think he's going
50:22
to have a big year. Though I do think Jake
50:24
Cousin will have a big year. But I want to pick him number
50:27
one. Hell no, I wouldn't pick him number one. You threw
50:29
me for a loop at that one. Yeah,
50:31
I would kick, I would kick probably,
50:35
man. Yeah, Cam Newton? Can you
50:37
do that the game? Because not only is he throwing
50:39
touchdowns, but he's also running. Yeah,
50:42
he's scoring. Yeah,
50:45
I would probably go with um, I
50:47
go with Cam, all right. Yeah, that's who I
50:49
would go with too. Um all
50:51
right, I'm not gonna keep you much longer. I can't tell
50:53
you how much I appreciate that this brand. How
50:56
how relieved are you as a football player?
50:58
And I'm sure as a fan that this deflate
51:00
gate ship is finished? And
51:03
and do you think Garoppolo
51:05
will be uh Tim Tebow?
51:07
Tim Tebow two point Oh? Wow?
51:11
To be honest with you, I know nothing that I'm I
51:14
know nothing about I know nothing
51:16
about I
51:19
just heard all the talk from last
51:21
year that you know, he's actually pretty good.
51:24
So we'll see, man. But I can't
51:26
speak on that because I don't
51:28
even know what college he went to. You what you're
51:31
asking me, I think I give a shit about this
51:33
guy and the Patriots. I'm so I'm I'm
51:35
so over this, the flate gate, Brandon.
51:38
I'm so sick of this, the flake gate. But I'm glad
51:40
that that he's got the suspension and
51:42
and it's done with. I feel like the suspension
51:45
is a little bit, uh, you know, more than than
51:47
the crime. But you know, I you
51:50
know, you know, if if you're a New York Fanny for
51:52
your Jets fan or a Giants fan, you we
51:54
don't we don't mess with the Patriots. So so this
51:56
is this is a beautiful thing that this is finally
51:58
happening. Well, you
52:01
know, I think, well, my approach to it,
52:03
I don't think it's every guy's approached. It's
52:06
two things. Um. One,
52:08
as a player, obviously, you
52:11
know you have a better chance of winning when
52:13
Tom Brady is on the field. And that's just fact.
52:15
Tom Brady is going to me the
52:18
best quarterback to ever do it. You
52:20
know, I love tom Brady's game. I actually
52:22
like him as a actually love Tom Brady.
52:24
Um, So you have that aspect when
52:27
he's not on the field, not only the best player
52:29
on the Patriots, but when the best player probably
52:31
in the league. When he's on the field, the other team
52:33
has a better chance winning. But then
52:35
there's the other side, and it's the business
52:37
side of due process. And
52:40
as a player, you know, you you
52:42
you, you're still one, you
52:44
know, all those Patriots. Although he's arrival,
52:47
although we we we hate painting,
52:49
it's the Patriots. This like the Patriots.
52:52
As a player, you still have to stand up for what's
52:54
right. And you know, we we we definitely
52:57
believe that, um, that
53:00
offss needs to change. I don't
53:02
know, I'm not speaking I'm not speaking on
53:04
what's right, what's wrong? You know?
53:07
Uh that Tom Brady do it, did not do it?
53:09
Should he be suspenishly not. I'm speaking
53:11
on just making sure that the players
53:15
are in a in
53:17
a right position, you know, a fair position
53:20
that makes sense that I respect that. All
53:22
right, Brandon, you know I'm gonna let you go. I want to tell
53:24
you also, sincerely, I really appreciate
53:27
you taking the time. I respect and appreciate
53:30
all you're doing about speaking out in
53:32
regards to the mental health and
53:35
the borderline personality disorder and everything
53:37
you're doing for the mental health community. I think you
53:39
can absolutely continue to make a change and
53:42
make an impact, because again, I don't
53:44
think that you know, you would be the
53:46
prototypical face of mental
53:48
health. I think it's a shameful thing. And
53:51
I think that you being brave enough to to
53:53
to embrace it and to to speak out about
53:55
it is great. I hope you continue
53:57
to do that. I wish you nothing but uck
54:00
or with it with the Jets. I hope you have a
54:03
healthy, safe season.
