Watching Arik grow up from a young age, two guys that made it from Sac. We dive into the family dynamics of Matt's childhood, moving to Sac at a young age and dealing with racism. The journey to UCLA and being a two sport athlete. Getting drafted was a dream, but sticking in the NBA was the real dream. A true pioneer, and creating a lane for athletes in media. Plus, maturing and co parenting with Derek Fisher.

From an athletic family with a special lineage of success, Josh was always outside playing sports from a young age. Football wasn’t his first love, and it wasn’t until he moved to Alabama that he started to really play competitively. A 2 Star recruit, not having much experience on the D Line but still leading the state in sacks, he went on to play at Kentucky where he became SEC player of the year. Josh talks about his purpose in Jacksonville, and whys he meant to be in DUUUVAL.

Relentlessly motivated for a reason, today we welcome Raheem Mostert. From being cut multiple times to breaking records, Raheem's story is one of resilience and determination.  Driving by the Hall of Fame and manifesting the day he walks in as a Hall of Fame player. Raheem walks us through his journey from a surf town in Florida through to leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns.

Welcome, welcome my brother Christian Wilkins to the pod. Growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts, it was only right that he loved the Pats and Tom Brady. Initially hooping was his first love before football, we get into Clemson and perhaps the greatest college D Line of all-time. Getting to the league and working to where he is today with the recent signing of his new $110M contract with the Las Vegas Raiders.   Watch on YouTube - https://linktw.in/dMisud

Javon Hargrave joined us during our livestream! We discuss the difference between the Eagles' and 49ers' culture and how some people just aren't cut out to play on this 49er team. Would you rather have Deebo running at you with the ball or have to try and survive a Trent Williams block? What is it like to be selected for the Pro Bowl and who has the best stadium in the NFL? It's time to get locked in for the playoffs so let's take advantage of the fact that we aren't playing this week and come back ready to go.
