00:00And a good afternoon, sir.
00:16How the heck are you?
00:17What's up?
00:18Man, congrats on the first game.
00:20How did it feel out there?
00:21It felt good.
00:22You know, it's always like, you know, anticipation builds up for that first game of the year.
00:27But now that it's behind us, we can really lock in on the rest of the season.
00:31So when this opportunity came up, given the Cowboys' need, and Mike Zimmer, was this
00:35a no-brainer, exciting opportunity for you to come in and plug this hole?
00:39Because you look like exactly what we've been needing, man.
00:42Man, honestly, it was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made.
00:45But at the end of the day, I feel like I made the right decision, and I'm happy.
00:49Now it's just a little bit of work, so let's get to it.
00:52What were those variables in your decision?
00:53Could you share that with us?
00:54I mean, there's so much that came into it, honestly.
00:59I'm over-talking about it, but at the same time, I'm just glad to be here.
01:05Glad to have my presence felt out there.
01:08Heck yeah, man.
01:09It was a real joy to watch you.
01:11It was one heck of a game.
01:13I was curious, after a game like that, is that a NFL randomly drug-testing you game?
01:18Because it was a damn good performance, Eric.
01:20Let's be honest about it.
01:22Yeah, I got more.
01:24I got more.
01:25Now, have you ever gotten the, wow, Eric, you were, excuse me, I'm getting emotional.
01:29Yeah, he's getting choked up.
01:30I'm so excited about it.
01:31I really do.
01:32I'm so excited to have you here.
01:33Have you ever had one of those performances where you were so badass on a football Sunday
01:37that the league was like, let's check this guy's pee?
01:40Oh yeah, right after the game.
01:43Just in the locker room.
01:44Is it just waiting for you there in your locker, like by way of hello after the game?
01:49There's just so many different, you know, you can get it during the week, you can get
01:52it the next day, you can get it after the game.
01:56There's so many different, you know, an off-season, they don't discriminate, they just get you
02:01whenever.
02:02Are they, what's the, can you take me into that situation there, are you got eyeballs
02:07on you?
02:08Oh yeah, oh yeah.
02:09I remember, I can share a funny story.
02:11One time, I was in London, and I got drug tested in London, and we were in a hotel bathroom,
02:18and it was a public restroom, and I'm over here facing the door, you know, and yeah,
02:25let's just say people walked in the restroom, you know.
02:28Wow, that's gracious.
02:29Anybody run right back out?
02:30What are we doing?
02:31You can't be pee-shy to play in the NFL.
02:32Gotta get the pee.
02:33Gotta get it.
