00:00 Hi, I'm quarterback correspondent Caleb Presley.
00:05 I'm quarterback Joe Burrow.
00:06 And today we're in Cincinnati, Ohio to find out how Joe gets his competitive advantage.
00:11 Do you know a lot of people named Joe?
00:13 I know a few.
00:15 Same, tons.
00:16 So what is a competitive advantage?
00:18 It's another way to say cheating.
00:20 Legally.
00:21 Legal cheating.
00:22 And do you ever do the other one?
00:24 Illegal cheating?
00:25 Mm-hmm.
00:26 I've never done that, no.
00:29 What is the reason for a quarterback to be big and strong?
00:31 Tackle people after you throw an interception?
00:33 Get hit by people that are much, much bigger than you.
00:36 After you throw an interception?
00:37 Ideally not.
00:38 Do you believe in warming up?
00:41 I do.
00:42 I do.
00:43 Why not just wear a jacket and just save the time?
00:45 That can make it work faster sometimes.
00:47 Just go loosen up.
00:48 Yeah.
00:49 Just drink a few beers.
00:50 I don't know about that.
00:52 What's the most important muscle for a quarterback?
00:55 Core.
00:56 Really?
00:57 Abdominals, yeah.
00:58 Yeah, I guess so.
00:59 Do you want to call that a muscle?
01:02 Well, it is.
01:03 Why do they call them dumb bells?
01:06 They don't even look like bells.
01:09 I couldn't tell you.
01:11 Would you be upset if I called you dumb Joe?
01:14 I don't know if I'd be upset.
01:15 I wouldn't like it, though.
01:16 Would that be accurate?
01:17 I don't think so.
01:18 Are you?
01:19 I don't think so.
01:20 You're not accurate?
01:21 I'm the most accurate.
01:22 Well, are you addicted to weightlifting?
01:25 Yeah, I would say so.
01:27 And after all that time in rehab?
01:29 I've never been to rehab.
01:31 You never rehabbed anything before?
01:33 My knee.
01:34 You have been to rehab, I guess.
01:35 I guess so.
01:36 Just say it.
01:37 Say, "I'm Joe Burrow and I've been to rehab."
01:38 I've done rehab.
01:39 How about that?
01:40 What's this part of your game?
01:41 It's basketball.
01:42 What do you say to people who say, "Joe Burrow, man, he's not much of a quarterback, but man,
01:48 is he a hell of a basketball player?"
01:50 They'd probably be wrong.
01:52 Talk me through your form.
01:53 Just talk me through what you're thinking right now.
01:55 Shoot it in the basket.
01:58 But how do you do it?
01:59 How do you do it?
02:01 Shoot it.
02:02 But when you're thinking about it, how do you think about it?
02:07 Put the ball in the hoop.
02:09 Right, but you just taught me through your technique, I guess.
02:14 Flick the wrist.
02:18 This is not really important.
02:20 What's the heaviest you've ever picked up?
02:23 400-ish.
02:25 And what was your name?
02:27 If you can't say that's fine, I don't understand privacy.
02:31 What's wrong with you, man?
02:35 I understand, dude.
02:37 I understand.
02:39 Nah.
02:41 When you're getting ready for a game, how do you...
02:43 What is this?
02:44 Talk me through how you use this guy.
02:45 Sometimes my coach would throw that at me and make me avoid it.
02:48 Really?
02:49 Yeah.
02:50 Just like that?
02:53 Just like that.
02:54 When you're taking the snap from under center, how do you make sure everything's...
02:59 How do you do it with respect?
03:01 Firmly.
03:02 Firm top hand.
03:03 Yeah.
03:04 Yeah.
03:05 So how did you just walk us through it?
03:08 Firm top hand.
03:11 Right, but just walk us through it.
03:14 Lock the thumbs together.
03:17 Prepare yourself for the snap.
03:19 Yeah.
03:20 So what, would you stand over there?
03:21 I would.
03:23 If my real center was here, I'd do it.
03:27 When it's all said and done, got all this stuff, what's the most important element that
03:33 drives your success?
03:34 What's your competitive advantage?
03:35 Putting the right stuff in my body.
03:37 Steroids?
03:38 No steroids.
03:39 What are you doing?
03:41 Are you allowed to say?
03:42 I'm drinking body armor.
03:43 You're doing what?
03:45 Drinking body armor.
03:46 Why?
03:47 Well, it tastes good.
03:49 It's got the right stuff in it.
03:50 No artificial.
03:51 I like to put stuff in my body that's going to help me perform.
03:55 And that's why we're doing it.
03:58 Is it available to everyone?
03:59 Yeah.
04:00 Even someone like I could do it?
04:01 Yeah, even you.
04:01 Yeah.
