00:00I was at one of P. Diddy's freak-offs.
00:03Freak-offs.
00:04You saw celebrities there that you recognized.
00:07Mm-hmm.
00:08They were a rapper that we all know.
00:10Straight-up porn directed by Diddy.
00:13I'm just grateful to have made it out.
00:17You know, when I got on here before the season started,
00:19I was telling everybody, and I think that most people assumed
00:21that I was being biased, and I said,
00:23no, I walked that building before the season started.
00:26You know, I was around the coaches, the coordinators.
00:28I talked to the strength and conditioning coach.
00:30I talked to the GM, Joe Hale.
00:32I said, listen, these guys, this is a different team.
00:35They have a different attitude.
00:36The energy in that building was completely different,
00:39and now I think everybody's seeing it.
00:41I think I'm more surprised that everyone else is surprised
00:44that Jim Harbaugh and that team is having the kind of year, right?
00:47He came to the NFL for one reason and one reason only,
00:50to coach Justin Herbert, and we're now seeing, like,
00:53the relationship that these two guys have and what this team is doing,
00:57and I'll say this, man, and I said it before the season.
01:00Don't count them out to go deep in the playoffs
01:03and find themselves the ASU championship game.
01:06They have that type of team.
01:08They have that type of coaching staff,
01:10and so, you know, we said this before, man,
01:12but I think they got a real shot to go all the way.
