00:00 All right, let's get into this man, let's get into this man. I got another USC receiver. I got Michael Pittman jr. In the building
00:06 Okay, so coming off you had a career year
00:10 What clicked for you this year dog? I just think it was
00:15 Really really Shane just called on me to be the driving factor like in our
00:21 just just like in our past game and
00:25 just credit to
00:27 just credit to like Anthony Gardner for like trusting me and
00:32 targeting me a lot then early often and
00:36 just like showing love and then obviously like the coaches like had that like confidence and
00:43 you know, like just like it's
00:45 It's more of a team thing because like obviously like if the offensive line ain't blocking the ball
00:51 Ain't the ball the quarterbacks like aren't playing well, like I'm not getting it either way
00:55 So like so like it's really a lot that goes into it. So just credit to all those guys
00:59 Okay, so I know Anthony Richardson missed a lot of the season this year pretty much all of it
01:05 Yeah, how for like how are you looking forward to going out there with him and just just racking up stats right?
01:11 I'm numbers with that big dog. He's so dynamic and everything that he can do
01:15 just his ability to extend plays and his arm strength and I think that there's a
01:22 Like just like there's a factor like in his game that we really haven't touched on that much which which
01:27 Which like we didn't get to play with him very long because obviously the third game of the season, but I
01:34 Think that our ability to extend plays
01:38 I think it's gonna be huge for us because obviously Anthony can run and his arm is crazy
01:43 So the second he starts scrambling I'm going deep and he's going to be so that's something that like we didn't really get to
01:51 see that much like just because you know
01:53 like he was still learning and getting like experience and and I feel like that's an aspect like of his game that is gonna be
02:00 Changing for us and then also I'll probably say the strongest thing about our offense is our RPO game and you add him back
02:07 You got like just like you got him. You got Jonathan and then all of our pass catchers. So
02:14 There's so much to like defend
02:17 And I don't want to leave out Gardner - I mean he played great for us all pro bowl quarterback
02:23 Yeah, so like which is awesome. Like just like it was great seeing that and
02:27 I'm just so proud of everything that he did and had to deal with you know
02:31 Cuz people were calling for him and and I thought that he was playing great
02:35 So yeah, so like I just want to give him some shine, you know garden to miss you did ball this year
02:40 Let's get back to Anthony Richardson for a second from what you saw from him
02:45 Do you think he can crap talk five quarterbacks? No you absolutely. I mean he has every
02:49 Attribute that you need in and I'm telling you his play extending is only gonna get better
02:56 Yeah, and as he gets more
02:59 Comfortable because obviously NFL defense is like move fast, but you saw flashes of what he could do now
03:06 We didn't end up winning but just take us back to that Rams game when we're down and he brings us back
03:12 Yeah, and and I'm not sure that we could do that like with anybody else
03:17 So so like you just see flashes of his greatness and everything that he can do
03:21 Let's talk about you for a second. Just a quirky question
03:24 What's something that you have to do the night before the game?
03:29 The night before the game if you don't do it, you're walking in Sunday at 1030 feeling like ah
03:36 So
03:40 Nothing really before the game but the day of the game
03:42 So I recently changed up but up until my first game of college to last year
03:48 I have to have some type of pasta. Okay, whether it is. Yeah, like whether it's
03:54 Spaghetti or something and I'll actually eat it at breakfast
03:59 So I'll put French toast pasta and eggs and I'll just put syrup on everything. Okay, so so so
04:06 So so I'm eating French toast and pasta with syrup like at the same time like all the carbs so carbs sugar
04:14 Just like trying to load up. Okay, that's I like that
04:16 I like I now I never did the pasta with the French toast and syrup
04:20 Yeah, I might have to try that seems like something my son might try. Yeah
04:23 No, I mean like you get juiced up and you have energy to go like all day. Yeah
04:27 okay, so my
04:29 Big receiver big body receiver you came from USC in the league
04:34 Were there any guys like USC? We're known for big receivers. Yeah, no, we got absolutely Mike Williams
04:40 We got key we got Dwayne Jerry. Yeah, we got obviously Drake was your young boy when you were here, right?
04:47 So like were there anybody at USC that you looked up to?
04:51 Prior to going there that you kind of modeled your game after yeah. Yeah, I mean, I mean
04:55 I would probably say key because I played on keys
04:59 keys
05:01 7 on 17. Oh, yeah, so like part of that Southern, California circuit
05:05 Like we used to go and visit colleges
05:07 The funny thing is actually key tried to get me to switch to defense and come on
05:13 well
05:13 well
05:14 Which I kind of wanted to because I always thought that I was a defensive guy
05:17 But USC told me that I could play both and then I got there and I did like psych like you're playing offense
05:23 So I which is whatever I mean
05:25 Outside linebacker
05:29 So that's what I thought I was gonna be but
05:32 They had different plans and I'm glad that they did but I would just say
05:36 Mike Williams and like Mike Williams like and then a key like are really those main guys and then also I had
05:42 Juju there too. So so Juju is a big guy. I mean, I mean, I mean like he played hard and I really learned like
05:52 how like like how to
05:55 Work and and and be so driven and play violent like from him
05:59 I mean, I mean him in practice every single day. I mean he was going at it
06:05 I mean
06:06 he didn't care like if it was practice in and I like really took that from him and I feel like that's what helped me
06:12 Out cuz I actually came in with five other receivers
06:16 That's unique. So I don't know what USC told us to get us all to come in
06:22 but but it was five of us and I was the only one that didn't redshirt and then
06:27 We actually have guys that went on so Tyler Vons
06:31 Went on to like I think he's played like in a couple NFL games like over the past like two years
06:36 We have Bayless Jones who plays for who plays for the Bears
06:42 Right now and then like we got a couple other guys that bounce around and then obviously Drake was younger
06:48 but he was in that and I'm in raw, but
06:50 Every year I we just get the number one wideout coming from wherever so it really taught me
06:55 To work and grind and be able to to not be phased like by that because competition now
07:01 I mean this competition every single day like like whether you're competing with one of your P squad teammates or
07:08 You're competing against the defense. So
07:10 Like like everybody's good
07:13 So so like I really learned like from like a young age then that like you can't ever like chill like it's always like on
07:20 Go yeah, you know what?
07:21 That's a great point that you say when I went to SC we had a lot of big like Patrick Turner Vidal
07:26 Hazleton Damian Williams, so the same thing for me like I played six years in the league it helped me learn how to work
07:32 Because you're not going from beat. You're not the best guy anymore
07:36 You're like I could have a good day yesterday, but there Vidal ball today
07:40 I got it like I got to get on tape like I got to get on tape. So that's what's up now
07:45 Let's hop into a Super Bowl real quick couple more questions who you got winning Super Bowl
07:50 That's tough one that's a tough one so I actually spoke about this I think the 49ers, okay
07:56 But that he said it's super hard to bet against Pat
08:01 Cuz Pat and Travis like you never know like they could go off and have a crazy game
08:06 But but I just think that the 49ers are a complete team. They have it all they got great players on offense defense
08:15 But nonetheless, it's gonna be a fun game to watch both teams like are great or else they wouldn't be in that position
08:21 So it's gonna be fun, and I can't wait to watch it. Okay, so I'm gonna read this off cuz I can't remember this so
08:29 Sponsor question told me to say it for you. Well. I'm gonna say
08:33 So Toyota became the new official automotive partner of the NFL this past fall
08:40 Mm-hmm, and they have a new truck coming out that they unveiled here at the Super Bowl in a fun way
08:45 Tell us more about that so they are coming out with the 2024 Toyota Tacoma
08:50 So they actually brought their they brought their trail boss here, which is a wicked truck
08:57 I mean like I'm watching it right there. I mean that looks like something that I like to have. Yes
09:01 That's a Tacoma. That is a Tacoma. A Tacoma was a car that you got made fun of for driving
09:08 That looks nice. Yeah, no I mean I mean I mean that thing is I mean you can do anything with that whether you're
09:14 Ripping trails whether you're taking the wife out shopping like just how you could do anything with that
09:19 And I wouldn't be you know you know like I would like to add like just like one of those like to my personal
09:26 You know I just like my personal
09:28 ideal so and then they also have this they also are having a fan a
09:35 fan experience where
09:37 You can compete and go through and go sorry and go through this a trail
09:43 Obstacle course and they got a bunch of prizes too, so I think that they're grand prizes
09:50 They got Super Bowl tickets for next year Super Bowl 59
09:53 Which is something that I'm gonna be trying out here pretty soon, and I'll see if I can win me some
09:59 Yeah, well I yeah like I'll playing it
10:04 But then I'll get two more tickets cuz I heard that um I think it was Christian McCaffrey
10:09 And his wife paid two million hours like for a suite
10:12 So I love like my wife and mom, but I y'all gonna have to watch it from home like for that price
10:18 Ladies and gentlemen
10:23 And Mike is gonna make it to the Super Bowl, but his family will be in section 100
10:27 They will not be in a suite much love. I have USC's finest right here Michael Pittman Jr.. I appreciate you big dog
10:32 Thank you guys.
