Transcript

00:00I've been giving down here with my mom.

00:03She can't fly.

00:04Normally she comes up, but the doctors don't want her to fly for medical reasons.

00:08So I said, I got to come to my mom.

00:09You know, I'm the only child.

00:10I ain't got no brothers and sisters, and you only get one mama.

00:13So, damn it, I'm coming to mama.

00:15You're a good son, Ty.

00:16Enjoy.

00:17Where are you on the green bean casserole?

00:21Is that a staple on the log?

00:24I don't know the directions.

00:26I do not know the directions.

00:28I don't know nothing about it.

00:29I think it's like messing up the whole Thanksgiving.

00:33Yeah, it messes up Thanksgiving.

00:35Green bean casserole should be, you know, canceled from Thanksgiving.

00:39I don't give a damn.

00:40That's not good.

00:42More like green bean casserole.

00:45Kurt, that was good.

00:47Kurt, that was good.

00:49I agree.

00:51You're like, that's exactly what that is.

00:54All right.

00:54Made Tyla laugh.

00:55That's right.

00:56Are you a sweet potatoes guy?

01:00A yam guy or whatever?

01:02I'm a yam.

01:03I'm a yam guy.

01:05You got to have the yam.

01:07You got to have the dressing.

01:09Not no damn stove stop stuffing.

01:12You know, not that.

01:13Some real dressing.

01:14Some real dressing.

01:15You put it in the oven.

01:16You know what I mean?

01:16I mean, that stove stop.

01:18That's a cheap way out, man.

01:20So when you go Thanksgiving, you got to go all out.

01:22You got to have the cranberry sauce.

01:24I'm not a big turkey guy, but I eat turkey just for Thanksgiving.

01:28Got to have that ham.

01:29Yeah.

01:30For those that don't like swine to hell with y'all.

01:34Right.

01:34It's a good ass ham sandwich afterwards.

01:36You know what I mean?

01:37It's the best.

01:37Brown sugar ham with the pineapples on it.

01:41What?

01:42Man.

01:43And grill the pineapples too.

01:45Yes.

01:45Grill pineapple on there.

01:47Ooh, mix that with a little Corvus, right?

01:50I'm telling you, they don't know about the ham, man.

01:52I'm telling you, nice ham.

01:54Right.

01:54Well, Courtney's family knows about the pineapples.

01:56Yes.

01:57All right.

01:58Well, listen, Ty, this Patriots team becomes the first in the league

02:04to get to double-digit wins, and they are on a roll here.

02:09I bet they play a great overall as a team.

02:14Now, this was a little bit of a down game.

02:16They kind of played down to the competition.

02:17I was expecting a little bit more of them, but you have those games.

02:21But the important thing is they find a way to win no matter what.

02:24So that's a good thing.

02:25We've been in those situations, as you know, where we didn't exactly play

02:29our best version of ourselves, but we still found a way to win.

02:33And I see the same thing in this team right now.

02:35No matter what, they find a way to win even when it's ugly.

02:39Ty, the whole team kind of started slow, but especially the defense.

02:42They were able to rebound.

02:43How do you think they did?

02:46They did okay, but I'd like to see them get more pressure

02:49when they're not actually calling a blitz.

02:51I think the guys up front need to get more pressure

02:54when you're doing a three- and four-man rush.

02:57But, again, they won the football game.

02:59Against a better team, you might have some trouble.

03:02I mean, they had a lot of big running plays as well.

03:05So defensively, up front, got to do a little bit better.

03:09In the back end, you can always do better in coverage, again,

03:12but those guys up front, that's where it starts at.

03:15You got to win the one-on-one battles.

03:17Ty, isn't it the sign of a good team when you have those ugly wins

03:22or you win games that, like your blowouts,

03:25like where you're really able to win in a number of different ways,

03:29but especially an ugly win, isn't that a sign of a good football team?

03:33Absolutely.

03:35We've been through so many of those where it's like we're coming in,

03:39we're confident, and you just don't play,

03:41but it's always the other guy that's making a play.

03:44And that's what I love about this team.

03:46You never know who's going to come with the big play.

03:49It can be Diggs.

03:50It can be Hunter Henry.

03:53It can be Booty.

03:54It can be, you know, Demario Davis.

03:56Of course, you got Drake May.

03:57I love the fact that they spread the ball around and find ways to win.

04:02And like I said, you never know who's going to make the next big play,

04:05and it's similar to our teams.

04:07We competed amongst each other, and whoever makes the play, we're all happy,

04:11but we all wanted to make that play.

04:13You never knew where it was coming from.

04:14So the Super Bowl is going through New England, period.

04:20Is it at all of a concern to you?

04:23You talk about coverage,

04:25and Christian Gonzalez ends up giving up that touchdown to their number four.

04:32Wide receiver.

04:34Is that something that you are concerned about?

04:38I mean, I was expecting a little more out of Christian Gonzalez,

04:42but at the same time, those guys get paid, too.

04:44I mean, you're going to give up some every now and again.

04:47I think, you know, when it comes to the playoffs, when the game is on the line,

04:50we're going to be able to count on Christian Gonzalez and the secondary,

04:54especially him being the number one guy.

04:55But, yeah, from a competitive standpoint and a cornerback standpoint,

05:00you look over there at the guy, you see the fourth wide receiver,

05:03you be like, oh, hell no.

05:04Y'all not even going to throw the ball over here.

05:06That's how I looked at it anyway.

05:07I was like, if you throw the ball over here, and they completed, shame on me.

05:12But you should have, being that you are Christian Gonzalez,

05:15they got the number four wide receiver on you.

05:18You can't let him catch the ball, let alone the touchdown.

05:21If he catches the ball, that's one thing, but you can't let him get a touchdown.

05:25So, I know he's going to have his head on the swivel the next time.

05:28And, you know, once you get that respect as a defensive back,

05:32you know in certain situations, in certain players,

05:35the ball shouldn't be coming your way.

05:38That is, dump out.

05:39I knew I was going to get you, shame, before the holidays.

05:42Dump out number one.

05:43That's $100 for the Greg Hill Foundation when it comes to the square jar.

05:46Ty, I would love to ask you about not the Patriots,

05:49but what Saturday means for you.

05:52Best rivalry, I think, in college football, Ohio State, Michigan.

05:54When you were at Michigan, what is that game like?

05:57Are you going back this weekend?

05:59No, I'm not.

06:00I was thinking about it.

06:01I'm on the fence right now.

06:02I got my tickets, and I'm sending my daughter.

06:05I'm going up there with my son.

06:06This is last year, so I'm probably going to go up to the game.

06:09But it means everything here.

06:11It's crazy how even the coach's jobs be on the line.

06:15You can have a bad season, but if you beat Ohio State,

06:20you'll watch yourself another year.

06:23That's how it is at Michigan.

06:24The same thing, you can have great games,

06:26and you keep losing to Michigan and Ohio State,

06:28that was about to fire him because he ain't beating Michigan,

06:31but win every other game.

06:33So, I mean, the atmosphere is electric.

06:35Of course, when you go, you know, to their sorry-ass stadium,

06:39you know, it's still an electric atmosphere

06:41because we have so many Michigan people there,

06:43but it means everything, and the whole campus comes out.

06:47It's going to be cold as hell, but you will never know.

06:50People are going to be out there damn near butt-naked.

06:52For real.

06:53If you want to.

06:54Just to get ready for this game.

06:56So, I mean, it's the biggest game of the year, you know,

06:59as far as the Big Ten and the greatest rivalry of all college football.

07:02If you want Michigan to have a chance in the college football playoffs,

07:06they're going to have to beat Ohio State

07:07because I think the winner of the Ohio State, like Curtis said,

07:10will get in with one loss,

07:12but I think Michigan, if they can beat Ohio State,

07:15they can make a case for themselves

07:16to maybe get into this college football playoffs.

07:20I'm still trying to figure this whole college football playoff.

07:23How many teams going right now, man?

07:25They keep changing up every year.

07:27Twelve go.

07:28Twelve go right now.

07:29Wiggy wants 24.

07:31He wants UMass.

07:32No, no, I would like,

07:35I mean, 24 is what you see at the FCS level.

07:37I know you want 24.

07:39And they do a good job, but I would like at least 16.

07:4316 would be good.

07:45I know some people don't like it,

07:46but I think there are going to be teams like a Michigan.

07:49Let's say.

07:50But nobody would confuse Michigan for a team that can actually win the national championship.

07:53Right, but let's say Michigan beats Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game.

08:00I believe Michigan has two losses, correct, Ty?

08:04Michigan has two.

08:05But they can't play Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game.

08:08They're in the same part of the Big Ten.

08:09No, no, but now, remember this year, it's all new.

08:12It's just the top two teams.

08:13Sorry.

08:13So, let's...

08:14Right, no, if you go in there and beat Ohio State,

08:17that's going to be huge,

08:18and you're going to be making a huge case for yourself

08:20to at least be able to get into the playoffs.

08:22Right, but you still might miss out on it

08:25because of just some other teams and the strength of schedule.

08:29That's why I'm saying if you had 16,

08:31a team like Michigan would be able to get in,

08:35but they might miss out because of the two losses

08:37and the two losses that their opponents that they lost to.

08:42So, that's why I like...

08:43Exactly.

08:44That's why...

08:44I mean, Ohio State, they're coming in.

08:46They're going regardless.

08:48You know what I mean?

08:48They're going to be able to get in,

08:50and they earn that right as much as I hate to say it,

08:53but the one that I'm surprised about,

08:55Wiggy, in the Big Ten is Indiana.

08:57Indiana never wins.

08:58Right.

08:59They're never in the mix.

09:00So, I mean, they're playing some damn good football

09:02right now down there in Indiana,

09:04but Michigan, again,

09:06our goal is to go out there and beat Ohio State

09:08so if we can make it hard on them

09:09and make them lose their last game at the end of the season...

09:15Oh, man.

09:22We've got to go out there and come up with a big win

09:24because no one is expecting, you know,

09:26Michigan to do anything this year with Ohio State.

09:28We just lost you for a minute,

09:31and you're in Florida.

09:32I'm always worried about the gators.

09:36Like, you're okay, right?

09:38Oh, yeah.

09:39I'm cool.

09:39I'm on the streets.

09:40I don't...

09:41And I don't even walk by the ponds around here, guys.

09:43I'm not...

09:44I really don't.

09:45And they found a couple in my community here.

09:47So, again, they find their way in anywhere where there's water.

09:51So, when you come down to Florida...

09:52Yeah.

09:53And they're like, there's no gators here.

09:55There's nothing.

09:56Bullshit.

09:57Don't go over there by the water.

09:58Don't take your pet over there.

10:00I got my little...

10:01I got my little Yorkie.

10:02Okay, go by the water.

10:03Damn it.

10:04Every man for himself, an alligator come.

10:06Wait a second.

10:07Wait a second.

10:08Come on, Max.

10:08You better start to run it, because I was running.

10:10Daddy running.

10:11We have...

10:12We've never talked about this.

10:14You have a Yorkie?

10:15I knew I loved Ty.

10:16Yeah, you got a Yorkie.

10:17Yeah.

10:17What you...

10:18You expected me to have a pit bull or something, didn't you?

10:19Yeah.

10:20Because I'm a dog.

10:21Yeah, you did.

10:21Because I'm a dog.

10:23Yorkies are the best, Ty.

10:24No, Dad, I got me a Yorkie.

10:25No.

10:26What's the dog's name?

10:29Max.

10:30Max the Yorkie.

10:31Yorkie.

10:32How old is Max?

10:33You know what?

10:33Hey, you know what?

10:34Next time, I'm going to bring him to the studio with me, because I brought him down here for

10:37my mom, because she was a little lonely.

10:39She said, bring the dog.

10:41But it became...

10:42I got him five years ago for the kids, because I wasn't doing no big dog.

10:46I wasn't doing no big turds and all that.

10:48You know?

10:48So we ain't doing all that.

10:49But it ended up being my dog.

10:52Like, yeah.

10:53That was not my plan.

10:55But I ain't going to lie.

10:56He's part of the family now.

10:58I got a dog and a bird.

11:02Ain't that something?

11:03Like a parrot?

11:04The one that talks?

11:06Yeah.

11:06I mean, yeah.

11:07Tupac.

11:07I mean, Tupac.

11:08Yeah.

11:08Tupac is...

11:09He's older than...

11:10He's 28 years old.

11:11He's older than my kids.

11:12What?

11:12Wow.

11:13Yeah.

11:14Your bird is 28?

11:16And named Tupac.

11:17Yeah.

11:17And named Tupac.

11:18Yep.

11:20Tupac.

11:20Yep.

11:21He's 28 years old.

11:22Like I said, my daughter is 25.

11:24So again, when we're talking about...

11:26So then we talk about the corvus.

11:27I'm a bird guy.

11:28That's why.

11:29Yeah.

11:30I've been a bird guy.

11:31Well, if you want Tupac the bird to be around for another 28 years, keep him away from Diddy

11:38when he gets out of jail, if you know what I'm saying.

11:40Hey, I'll tell you what.

11:44I got you.

11:45These birds probably going to outlive me.

11:46They live till they're 70, 75 years old.

11:49So, you know, yeah, you got to put them in your wheel and everything.

11:53Yeah.

11:53You know the wild thing, Ty, is Tupac would be the oldest bird in Greg's apartment.

11:57Does it just say Westside every time you come in the house?

12:02Like Westside?

12:10Yeah.

12:40Yeah.

13:10Yeah.
