(funky music)
- Let's go through a quick
lightning round of questions
that I have for you.
They can be quick or you
can expound on these.
Another purchase that you wanna make
when you sign your next big contract.
- Another purchase. (clicks tongue)
- [Chris] Something big, man.
- I feel like I got
everything I want, though.
- [Chris] You don't have a yacht.
- I'll get a yacht--
No, I'll get a jet.
- [Chris] You'll get a jet.
- A jet.
- [Chris] Okay, what kind?
Do you know yet?
- I don't know the jet's
name, but I'll get a jet.
(laughing)
- Shit, I already asked
you if you, an O lineman,
the best O lineman you've been against,
lemme change the question
and see if you'll answer it.
- Again, I can't answer that
because they double
team and triple team me,
so I don't get enough
one-on-ones to say it.
- [Chris] Okay, most underrated
player on the Rams roster.
- Oh man.
(clicks tongue)
Michael Brockers.
Hands down.
- That's love.
- No, hands down.
- No, I know.
- Brock been doing it a long time, and--
- He's a vet now.
- Yeah, he's a run stopper,
he's the one that help
everything go around and make.
But, so, I think Michael
Brockers is hands down.
- Okay, I love that, music
do you listen to on game day?
Is it Skelly Wizzle?
(laughing)
- You remember that,
you said the name right.
You said that right.
But listen--
- Me and him catch up a lot,
he said, come to Pittsburgh.
He told me me I have a pass up there.
He said, don't worry about
it, I got a better pass.
- [Aaron] He said he got you?
- Yeah, he's got me.
- I listen to a little bit of everything.
A couple Pittsboro rapper, Hard Oak,
whatever's playin' in the locker room,
I really ain't got no favorite type music.
Anything that can get me
amped up and get myself warm,
that's what I'm listening to.
- What's your favorite
road city to play at?
- Road city, you talkin' about stadium?
- [Chris] Yeah, hotels, scenery.
- I like Seattle.
- [Chris] That one's my favorite too.
- I like Seattle, and we always
beat Seattle up there too.
- So it's special for you.
- It's always real loud
and somehow it get real quiet
at the end, so I like that.
- Yeah, well, it's funny
'cause I never won there
in eight years.
(laughing)
And then, when we were gettin' good,
right before they were about to cut my ass
'cause I couldn't move.
That was the first year we beat 'em,
Todd's rookie year, you remember that?
Late in the season, so,
and now it's a regular occurrence.
So I like to credit the tough years
we were coachin' you guys up to do it.
What's a position you would play
if you weren't a D tackle?
If you could play any position.
- Running back or linebacker.
- [Chris] Okay.
What's the sport you would wanna play
if you didn't play football?
- A sport?
Soccer.
- [Chris] Soccer?
- No, I'm lyin', that's too much runnin'.
Baseball.
- Baseball.
- Yeah.
- Why?
- 'Cause I got, they--
- [Chris] They make more money
than you guys should make.
- They make a lot of money
and they really ain't
gotta be too conditioned.
- Speakin' of these contracts.
These guys are gettin' paid a little bit.
- What, are they?
(laughing)
- I thought we had it decent.
And it's guaranteed!
- [Aaron] All guaranteed,
that's the thing.
- [Chris] Is that, okay, so that--
One thing you wanna see
changed in the next CBA.
- Well, as far as money-wise?
- [Chris] Anything, any issue in the NFL
that you wanna see--
- I feel like we should be, players,
we should be paid a little
up there with them guys.
I understand, but I feel
like the punishment we take,
it's a small window, that's probably why,
but you know what I'm sayin'?
I just, what we out there doing, man,
I feel like we deserve it.
- Yeah, I sure think we
deserve more guaranteed money.
- 100% sure.
Agree with that just because,
I was seein' something on social media,
they had Tom Brady and and somebody.
I don't know, that basketball
player they had up, but--
- [Chris] It was probably like--
- It wasn't--
- No disrespect to any name.
- But it wasn't a big name guy.
They had Brady makin' like $15 million,
he was makin' like $17 million.
- Oh dude, some of these
guys have gotten paid,
and I'm not a pocket watcher.
That's the one thing in the league is like
there's a lot of pocket
watchers in our league
and around, like.
It's the one thing that's
funny to me is, like,
when you get in the league,
the older guys will tell
you, don't count pockets
and don't hate on anybody,
but there's a lot of hate.
So we're not hatin' on the NBA guys,
but just some of these guys
are like six-man type guys.
- Exactly, and I only said that
'cause I seen something on Twitter.
I was just goin' through it
and I looked at it and seen it.
And I was like, that's pretty, what?
- And Tom takes a discount,
but still, I mean--
- He's the Michael Jordan
of football right now.
- Is he the best to ever do it?
- For me, he won six Super Bowls.
Six.
That's, that's impressive.
- Yep.
- For you to find a way and
he's, how old is Tom Brady?
40?
- I mean, he's 40, almost 41 years old.
Is he, what is he?
- 43, 44?
- [Chris] 42.
- 45.
- Holy shit, he's 42.
I think he can play 'til,
how many more years does Tom Brady play?
- I don't know, but it--
- I'll set the over-under at three.
Are you takin' the under or the over?
- Over.
- So you think he can
play four more years.
- I think he can just because,
you gotta think, he just
an MVP two years ago.
He was was 40 when he won an MVP.
They just won another Super Bowl,
won two Super Bowls back-to-back.
- Yeah.
- So.
- I mean, listen, when I was in, I mean,
he was a quarterback,
you probably don't even remember Y2K.
Do you know what Y2K is?
Holy shit, you don't know what Y2K is.
- [Aaron] What's Y2K?
- So, dude, this is just an age thing.
This is great.
When it became 2000, like in 1999,
like, in the winter, they
were all worried about,
like, when Y2K, when 2000
happened, the new millennium,
all the computers were gonna crash
and the world was gonna end.
So he was a quarterback in like, 2000.
If you look back at the
things that were going on
when he started out being a quarterback,
it was like two decades ago.
So, I mean, the guy has won a Super Bowl.
I mean, and if it weren't
for the Atlanta game
where we won a couple,
I would have been a decade, like,
basically apart from winnin'
their last Super Bowl.
So the guy's been unbelievable.
I mean, he's been tremendous.
The question I had for
you that I think I know
one of the answers would be,
if you could pick four guys
in a Mortal Kombat situation
in the NFL to take with
you another three guys.
And you had to go in a
dark alley with three guys,
who would it be?
Just hand-to-hand combat.
- What, I'm fightin'?
- [Chris] Yeah, fightin', whatever.
- Will Hayes.
- That was the one.
- I would take Will Hayes 'cause Will,
Will's low-key crazy and he gon' talk,
he could talk around it--
- Low-key crazy?
- Yeah, he's crazy, all the way crazy.
- [Chris] High-key crazy.
(laughing)
He thinks dinosaurs never existed.
- I think he's lyin' about that,
and he said he believe in mermaids.
- [Chris] He believes in mermaids.
- But don't believe in dinosaurs.
- [Chris] Did he slam you on your head?
He wanted me to ask you.
- Listen, I wish we could
FaceTime Will right now.
My rookie year, I'm
gonna tell you something.
My rookie year, you know, Will
always mess with everybody.
And we was in the back
of the equipment room,
and he was talkin' and talkin'.
So, you know me, I like to wrestle.
So I grabbed him and he
tried to wrestle back.
I get him to the ground.
(slaps)
And get him in a headlock like this.
And then he said, I'm done.
(laughing)
Listen, this is a true story.
I'm not lyin', I promise you.
He get up, he said, see, man?
I'm too old.
You can't be doing that.
You know Will hates that.
He said, yeah, you strong,
I ain't gonna mess with you no more.
Then he walks out from
behind the walk out,
I say, yeah, you do some messin',
I'm gonna slam you like that again!
(laughing)
He is a liar, you know he's lyin'.
- That is so like him!
And I called him right before and I said,
what were some good AD stories
that we can talk about?
And he, all of the stories
involved him beatin' you up.
Just shit he was makin' up.
So William Hayes, one of the strongest men
I've played with, pound for pound.
Aaron Donald would be another.
And they've squared off.
Now, the details of that
clash are conflicting.
But we've heard from Aaron,
I wanted to give William an opportunity
to have his day in court.
Not that I'm necessarily gonna believe it,
but I wanted to get that out there.
I will warn you, he's
not a great producer,
not even of cellphone
footage of selfie videos.
He didn't know how to flip the camera.
The background here, though,
is that William is a
schoolyard bully type.
In an NFL locker room.
And I don't mean that in a demeaning way,
it wasn't like he made people feel bad,
but he always wanted to wrassle.
He wanted to assert his dominance
as a Greco-Roman wrestler.
And in high school, let him tell it,
he was a four-sport all-American,
one of those being wrasslin'.
And I think he would've probably
been a pretty imposing
kid to line up across
whatever the fuck they
call it, the octagon,
with his leotard and a little helmet.
I think it would've been intimidating,
but when you're in the pros,
there's a lot of other badasses
and some of them are rookies
and you don't know whether
or not you should try 'em.
And I think William
found out the hard way,
but let's see what he has to say.
- [Will] If AD was very honest with you.
And I'm pretty sure he won't be,
he will tell you that he got
his ass balled up really bad
in that back room.
And Jimmy, Jimmy and him
actually had to pull me off AD.
At this point in time, we
knew we had something special
and I was just a career backup.
So, that being said, if
I hurt this motherfucker,
it's a good chance I could get
my ass shipped up outta there,
so, I kinda hopped off of him.
He walked out there
all pissed off and mad,
and you know, you know,
trying to huff and puff,
but you know nobody don't
really give a damn about that
because I knew what I just did
to him at that point in time.
That there's no way this
kid could ever heal,
or ever even consider tryin'
to put his hands on me,
so that's when I knew
at that point in time
I'd already kinda snatched
his heart out of his chest
and that's what it was.
- Heart out of the chest,
you heard it from William.
Don't know if I bel--
Oh, yep, there's one more cellphone video.
He couldn't just do it in one.
- [Will] It was me being who I am.
And that's a full blown killer.
(laughs)
But if I was in good health,
AD knew what time it is, man.
'Cause, I honestly, I need,
I really wanna try him again.
To see what, see what
he talkin' about, man.
I see all these muscles and shits, man.
I wanna test him, I honestly do,
but that's whole 'nother story, man.
- Ah, I've had enough of that.
First things first, I think
that story is total bullshit.
If I'm the arbiter, I'm givin'
the edge to Aaron Donald.
Second thing, why does it
take you so long to park?
Third thing, it's not raining,
why are your windshield wipers on?
Fourth thing, clean your car up.
Fifth thing, next time I get you to like
send me a selfie video, can
you flip the phone around
and just park and get out and record it?
Anyways, I'm givin' the
edge to AD, I'm sorry.
Is there anybody in the
league that can beat you up?
- In fightin'?
- Yeah.
- As a man, I can never
another man could beat me up.
(laughing)
- Yeah, that's all I wanna know.
Can your dad still still beat you up?
- Yeah, well, the only people
I can say can, I won't,
I won't fire them, but
the people I always say
can beat me is my dad
and my older brother.
- So, your older brother,
does he have the older brother
psychology thing on you?
- Yeah, 'cause that's the only person
that used to beat me up.
And I took a lot of Ls
from my brother growing up.
- That's it, yeah.
Well, good, I believe it.
And thanks for joinin' us, AD.
We appreciate you comin' out.
Two-time Defense Player of the Year,
hopin' it's three-time,
and hopefully you get a ring soon.
You deserve it, my man.
- Appreciate you.
- Appreciate you, bud.
(claps)
Thanks for comin' through.
- Yup.
(funky music)
- Thanks a lot for watching
the very first installment
of The Fish Bowl.
Aaron Donald, my old
teammate, buddy of mine.
Lengthy interview, lot of fun for me,
hope it was fun for y'all.
And I gotta say, hangin'
out with old teammates
kinda makes me get that little
itch to go back and play.
But I realized, doing
this interview thing,
I can just shoot the shit
with my buddies on set.
I don't have to go hit anybody
or show up to meetings.
I'm still in the game,
hangin' out with my friends.
So subscribe and click the link
