Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And Degree listen, that doesn't happen often. They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one men's antiperspirant and is back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG Cool Rush for yourself.

Adrian Peterson
Hey, what's up, man?
Paige Desorbo
How you doing, man?
Adrian Peterson
Hey, I'm chilling, man. They chilling. Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Hey, man, you know, it's bigger. We've been trying to link up for a minute, man.
Adrian Peterson
All right, I know. There we are.
Paige Desorbo
Here we are now. So let's. Let's get straight to it. You know, we both East Texas babies at the end of the day. You come out of Palestine, Texas, bro. And I remember in high school, just, you know, all we kept hearing was some gang Palestine showing out. That's all we kept hearing. Adrian Peterson. Adrianson Peterson, bro. And let's talk about it, man. Like, when did you know. AP be real, though, bro. When did you know that you were special, man?
Adrian Peterson
Honestly, at a young age, man, like playing Little League football growing up in East Texas, man. You know, you played backyard football all the time. That's what we did back in the day, right? But once I got into the organized football and was able to do that, do the same things I was doing out there in the backyard in. In a different setting, you know, a setting that was more organized is playing football, actual football. That's when I kind of knew, you know, after about a year, probably a year, I knew I was okay. If I can keep this up, you know, I can. I can make something happen.
Paige Desorbo
And, you know, you. You played track. You ran track, too. I mean, you know. Yeah, I know you was great in football.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, see, a lot of people don't know that, though, you know? So people always ask me about the breakaway speed and all that, and I tell them, shoot, I ran. I ran track, too, growing up. You know, I was. I made the state my junior year. 10, 2, 6 and 100, you know. Yeah. Got second Aubrey Williams. That boy was moving, you know. But he beat me in 100 and a 200 my junior year. I ran 21, 2, 3, 20.8 was my PR in the, in the 200. So track was like my like one beat, you know what I'm saying? That was my second love. My sophomore year in high school, I actually almost. I had decided to stop playing ball. I was just going to focus on. Focus on track, you know. But my dad wasn't having that, you know, he was like, hey, gotta make something happen, you gotta get back out there.
Paige Desorbo
That's what's up, man. Me, man, I was slow as fuck. Shit. Shit. Told me. No, I was running all eleven eights. Hell no. I was. I should have just. Still, I should have just stuck with baseball, man. I was pretty good in baseball, man.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah, that's the one thing I hate. I didn't get the chance to play, man. Like you know, growing up and like, especially in Palestine, baseball wasn't something that a lot of kids were really into or, you know, a lot of black kids. It was track football, and that was pretty much it, you know what I'm saying? You might get out there, play a little soccer, but baseball was like something foreign to us in the country. But looking back, I wish I would have played too.
Paige Desorbo
That's where the money at. Goddamn baseball.
Adrian Peterson
Exactly.
Paige Desorbo
I told him to steps on the other day. Damn. Football. New we playing baseball. New.
Adrian Peterson
Exactly. I got my boys out there eating and catching fly balls, as you should.
Paige Desorbo
But let's talk about it. East Texas boy, you go to Oklahoma, you know, your freshman year. Freshman year in Oklahoma, man. Let's talk about it, man. What was that like for coming from Palestine all the way to Oklahoma? And you're on campus now, man, you're in a different environment, like you're away from home. What was that like?
Adrian Peterson
Man? You know, I never forget getting dropped off. I actually got dropped. So I graduated on a Saturday from high school. And then that Sunday my mom was dropping me off in Norman, Oklahoma, man. Ironically, where my dad house was located, one of my neighbors, he. I mean him and his wife, they had like seven kids, you know, the Magruders. And at this time when I was, when I was getting ready to go, go up to Oklahoma, he was a junior, a junior in college at Oklahoma. He had transferred from Tennessee. But so I got dropped off that Sunday, I got dropped off at his house. You know, it was like family, you know what I'm saying. And, you know, so getting there, you know, getting dropped off. Getting dropped off there. And then he had this cat riddle, and his name was Clint Ingram from Longview, Texas, you know what I'm saying? Another cat from East Texas. So it was. It was really, you know, hey, hate to say bye to my mom then, you know, and all that, but I was excited about the new journey or whatnot. But getting dropped off, it was just like, bam, I'm here now. I can finally embrace this new journey. And so getting set up and, you know, going on campus with the guys, and obviously they were showing me around, kind of, you know, giving me the feel of everything. But the one thing that I had in my mind was going in and making a statement, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, coming out of high school, the number one recruit in the country, you know, my junior and senior year, I knew it was a lot that they were expecting from me, you know, And. And not only that, it's just. It's always been my mentality to go out and. And grind, you know, I've always had the talent, and I've known that. But the one thing that I had as well that a lot of people don't have is that work ethic, you know? So even with having the talent, I always say, I'm not gonna let nobody out work me. So from day one, when we got out there, man, for training and practice, I was on it, you know what I'm saying? Gaseous. I'm winning all the gases. I'm trying to live with the lineman, you know what I'm saying? I was always pushing myself just to make sure these boys knew that I wasn't coming in to play.
Paige Desorbo
And you wasn't even expected to start, though your freshman year. I mean, who was the coach? Bob Stoops. With Bob Stoop, the coach?
Adrian Peterson
Yeah. Bob Stoop was there. Yeah, he was there.
Paige Desorbo
So you. You come in really still a kid. Really? Honestly, you're still a kid. You got a man's body, but you still a kid. And you come in and you just. I mean, you started getting compared to Eric Dickerson, to Marcus Dupree. Yeah, as a freshman, bro. Like, I mean. I mean, you're doing great. You're doing your thing, but now your popularity starting to rise, like in college, like, what was that like? I knew you was the man on college now. I mean, everybody looking at you different now, you know, it's a lot of expectations on you now. How did you deal with that or who you had in your circle to keep you, you know, humble as well as you are and well grounded.
Adrian Peterson
Who.
Paige Desorbo
Who was that man to keep you, you know?
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, so I had an uncle who went to the University of Texas, and he went, I think it was like 98 through those years, like those years with Ricky Apple, White, Royal, Williams, all those guys, you know what I'm saying? So I had a lot of opportunity to, you know, he stayed in my ear about just being focused and staying on top of, you know, the grades and, you know, making sure I'm putting in the work and all that. And then having my parents, you know, in my corner as well. My mom was always there. My dad, even though he was incarcerated, you know, he. You know, he made sure I stayed on straight narrow, you know, and then I grew up with a big family, you know, so I got a lot of brothers and cousins and stuff like that. And for me, it was like, I'm doing it for them as well, you know, so it always kept me. And then coming from the country, you know, like, I came. We. I came from nothing. You know what I'm saying? We came from nothing. So, you know, being able to, you know, get to this platform that I had dreamed about a young age, you know, I was going to do everything I could do to make sure I stay, you know, handling my business. And I was doing what I needed to do to accomplish that ultimate goal for sure.
Paige Desorbo
So you go through college, you handle your business. It's draft day, draft coming up. You hurt your shoulder. I think you had an injury with your shoulder. You fall to, like, number seven, right?
Adrian Peterson
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Did that do anything to you, mentally following numbers? I know it's just seven, but did you want to go higher? Did you want to go number one?
Adrian Peterson
Yeah. In my mind, I felt like I was the best player in the draft, you know, so, of course, you know, that's where I wanted to go. I wanted to go number one. But I kind of understood the situation, you know, my. My junior year. So my freshman year, had an incredible season, went to national championship game, got broke down by usc, unfortunately, broke us down. But the sophomore year, I end up having an injury. I sprained my ankle, and I was out for, like, six, seven weeks. Man, you know, that really hurt me. And then I came back my junior year and, like, week seven of the season, dove in the end zone, broke my collarbone, and I didn't come back and play again until we played Boise State in the Fiesta bowl, you know, so during that time, I was kind of contemplating, you know, What I was going to do, you know, like, bam. Had to. Had to hop the grade three hot angle. Spring my sophomore year. Missed eight games. And then my column, if I come back, you know, it can be something that can be really, you know, way more detrimental, you know what I'm saying? So I'm just like, you know, know what? I'm gonna go ahead and shoot my shot and, you know, go and declare for the. You know, for the league. So, you know, going in, you know, everything. When I came back, it was supposed to be healed, right? So I remember getting down to Arizona API. It's a academy down there. A lot of guys was go train. You know, me, Marshall, DeMarcus, Rosso, Bray, Quinn. Like, we were all down there, right? And Patrick Willis, and we was working out for about two weeks, man. And I just. My shoulder. It was just. It just kept bothering me, but I was bench pressing, doing everything that I needed to do and everything, and I was just like, you know what? I'm just gonna get a checkout. Let me go. Let me go get a checkup, right? So I went in to get X rays done, man. The guy come back out and say, man, it's completely broke again. Yeah, compound break. I'm just like, what? He was like, yeah, he was like, did you. Do you remember a particular play in the game where you felt it and it was just like, you know, it was a lot of pain. And I was like, yeah, I did. I remember that happening in the game. And then, honestly, after the game, my neck kind of slowed up, but then it subsided the next day, so I didn't really think too much of it. But within that play, I mean, when that play happened, I ended up breaking it again, you know what I'm saying? So that right there is kind of how the red flag, you know, kind of got put on me. And I think that kind of caused me to. To slip to number seven. But, you know, at the end of the day, once Detroit passed on me, which, you know, obviously Calvin Johnson was a. An animal, so they. They didn't really miss on that one at all. And then I think at 5, Arizona had to pick, and I think they picked Levo, Levoy, Levi Jones, Levi something, whatever. You can't even remember his name. But, you know, like, so I had a little short stint with. With Arizona and the big Wells. Those. Those guys always saying, like, man, if we can do that over again, you know, that was one mistake that we made that we regret, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So at that point, you know, I Kind of knew that, you know, once they picked them, I knew. I kind of figured that Eric. I mean, that the Viking was going to pick me. And then honestly, I was just like, shoot, if I can slide up to number 10, you know, I want my being in H town, you know what I'm saying? Oh, for sure. Houston was number 10 during that draft, you know, but, you know, it all worked out, man.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah, I'm glad you didn't go to H town. My shit. Hell, now you went where you were supposed to go, but before we even get to you going to Minnesota.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
You know, today they got the nil money. What you think your nil money would have been looking like?
Adrian Peterson
Honestly, though, like, man, listen, man, I would have made so much money, like, so much money just to get to Oklahoma. And then you think about the freshman year that I had. I was sick. They robbed me for the Heisman Trophy because back then they weren't giving the highest control to the freshman, you know what I'm saying? So help my team get to the national championship. I was what, 25 yards away from 2000, you know what I'm saying? Like, I could have easily got about. About four or five. I would say about four or five, easy. Yeah. Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Because he boys eating now. He bought millionaires before he even step on the field. Like, they. They multi millionaires before they even go to the NFL. Now, man, I think Shador was eating. Cam Oil was eating. Archie Manning grand boy eating. I'm talking about big dog eating, man. Yeah. So the game has changed now. And you like. Yeah, for sure. I mean, they make it. They make billions off y'all going to college and all this and that. Y'all wasn't getting but free meals and this, that, and the third, so.
Adrian Peterson
Per diem.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah. So you drafted, right. So let's take the audience through, like, how the NFL works. You get drafted. When is when. How soon do you get to Minnesota once you drafted?
Adrian Peterson
The next day.
Paige Desorbo
The next day. Okay.
Adrian Peterson
They flying it down.
Paige Desorbo
They flying you down. How soon is y'all signing contracts? That.
Adrian Peterson
That next day.
Paige Desorbo
So basically, y'all millionaires, really? Overnight, per se.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Depending on your draft pick and all this and that. That's for some people, bro. That's. You know what I'm saying? That even though getting drafted to the NFL is life changing, but, you know, really going from back then, we wasn't no nil. So can't count your pockets. Don't know what you had this, that, and the third, but I know if me. If I was in your position I would have been getting underhand money. That's just me. But I'd have been there, got caught like I I was taking money. I'm a country boy, I ain't used to money like that. So somebody offer me something, I'm taking it.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, I hear me.
Ryan Reynolds
So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them, it's the right thing to do. But own we all know the Greek Cool Rush deodorant well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does cuz Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started online petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush sent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, two Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

Now you got me. You in Minnesota. Ain't that many people in Minnesota. I don't even know. Is Kevin Gness still in Minnesota when you get there?
Adrian Peterson
No. No.
Paige Desorbo
Okay. So, you know, it's just basically you. It just basically you in Minnesota, you're a rookie, you go into camp. What, what, what is the NFL life like? How was it different from college when you first get there? Like from the playbooks to SMI area? Like, what was the difference?
Adrian Peterson
Like, yeah, so it was like a job, man. Like, you know, college wasn't like a job. You know, it's like you got the class, you know, you, you know, you got to go your classes and you got to go workouts and you got practice, you know, more relaxed, you know, per se, more lacks, you know, in the NFL, it's like, okay, you did by yourself, you know what I'm saying? Like, you got to get up, you got that. It's really like a 9 to 5, you know, you, if, if you, the meeting starts at 8:00, you come in at 8:05, you probably gonna get hit by 10, 15, you know what I'm saying? No, yeah, you know, like, yeah, they don't play. You know, it's like, hey, this is what we're paying you to do. Let's make it happen. You know what I'm saying? So from that standpoint, it was more so of a business, a job as well. But, you know, you loving the game. It's. It's easy to go through that process. So, you know, that was a big change. And then, you know, just learning the playbook, you know, the playbooks. Very, you know, intensive. A sense of. Yeah, whatever. The playbook was me, you know, really broad with the terminology and you know, everything that came with it. Right. So just kind of really, you really had to dedicate that time and be focused on what you had to do, you know what I'm saying? Offensive, all that.
Paige Desorbo
Give me the ball.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, let's run north and south. Yeah, for real. But no, but really, like, it was very, the, the playbook was very detailed, man. You know, very complex, you know, so just learning all the defensive schemes, you know, that you get in NFL, you know, the blocking assignments, you know, the routes and all that, it really take time for you to sit there and study and be locked in, you know what I'm saying? So it was. It was a little easier process for me because I had Chester Taylor, who was the running back there at the time, and, you know, he really put me on his arms and. And, you know, helped me out and kind of showed me, you know, hey, this is what it gonna take. This, the things that I do or whatever, whatever, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, for me, making that trans. That transition, it was a lot easier, a lot smoother because I had a lot of guys that. That was looking out for me as well, you know. And then when I went in, it was two a day. Two a days, man. Like training camp, you know, 9:00, 10:00 practice, full pass, go to lunch, probably like an hour break, you're right back into meetings, you're back out for practice, full pass again, you know what I'm saying? So in the cba, they end up changing that. So it's only one practice. It's been like that for. For a minute now, where there's only one practice, and either in the morning or the afternoon, you can have shoulder pads, I mean, full pads. And then the other practice has to be like shells, you know? So that right there was like. When I tell you it was a beast, it was different, man. I'm talking about going out there, full pads. It's a big difference. Like, guys that play ball, they know it's a big difference between having full pads on and even and just having shoulder pads on. It's like a different type of tempo, you know what I'm saying? So a lot of these youngsters never really got the chance to experience that. And I'm kind of glad, but they didn't get a chance to experience how it really was in the NFL back when I came out.
Paige Desorbo
Oh, man, I remember when I was playing football in high school, I remember them two a day, East Texas, 98, 99 degree weather out there. They got us, like you say, running them gases. God damn, Coach. I know I ain't gonna even get in the game, dog. Why am I even doing all this, man? Man, I was four foot tall, 70 pounds. I wasn't getting in no damn game. Why? I need to be in shape.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, you going for the legs.
Paige Desorbo
Hell, every time. Look, real talk, man, we was you know, back in East Texas, you know, if you was, let's say you was on. Let's say if you was on varsity, but if you fail, you would have to play jv. So we was playing a guy that was normally on varsity. He ended up failing. So he had to play JV that Thursday night when I was on jv and this dude was bigger than you. Peace. Real talk. Running back, big swole. I'm Cornerback, right? I'm 70 pounds, dog. God is my witness. God is my witness. They gave him a sweep that big. Came my way, I got out the way. Yeah. I make a decision. I was gonna hit that. No.
Adrian Peterson
Oh, business decision, huh?
Paige Desorbo
He had 375 rushing yards on the sheep. He was older than us though, Pete. He was already 19. Yeah, Bones was developed.
Adrian Peterson
Our bones wasn't developed the varsity started running back on jb, but he know.
Paige Desorbo
He couldn't pass his grade, so he had to know come down that Thursday night, man, I was mad, man. No way. This guy put been playing against them and they beat us 75 0.
Adrian Peterson
That's. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy.
Paige Desorbo
75 is 0, man. Real talk, that's crazy. But also, you know, as that rook is your rookie season there, Minnesota fam, you ran for 296 yards, fam. Yeah, let's talk about it. What's, what's going through your mind as you doing this, bro? Like, like, man, I'm running overly mother like you doing the hit stick on Madden on these boys, man, as a rookie. Let's talk about it, man.
Adrian Peterson
You know, it started that, that week, you know. Cause I had the game circle because I was gonna be going against lt, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, that's my guy right there. You know what I'm saying? Like, I done stole so many moves from him and just watching him and how, you know, him being from Waco and all that, I was just like, okay, I'm going against lt, man, this the best pack in the league. I gotta make sure I show up, you know, so, you know this grind and, you know, we get to the game and that first half, man, there was like three to four plays where I was like, not patient enough or, you know, I just end up missing, missing a read, right? And I'm talking about these could have been big chunks, 40, 50, you know what I'm saying? And I remember going to the sideline and after those plays and you know, just talking to the office alignment, like, hey, fellas, just keep doing what you're doing, man, like, that was on me, you know, I'm a. You know, I'm gonna adjust, but just keep pressing because they was. It was putting in work. And a lot of people don't know this. That. That game I had. We only had. I only had 40 yards rushing in the first half. Came out the second half, and it was just like, everything just got rolling. Boom, boom. Just picking up, picking them apart. 200 with 200, like 50 something yards later, you know, End up. End up setting the record. But it was like I was in the zone. It was like, almost like an auto, you know, out of body experience. You know what I'm saying? Like, you get into that zone where I'm being patient. I'm so locked in. I'm. It's. Everything kind of felt like slow motion, you know, and then having big hutch, you know, big Brian McKinney. Like, I had some. I had some dogs in front of me, and then on the outside, too, the receivers, you know what I'm saying? These guys were putting in work as well, you know. So who were your receivers? I had Sydney Rice and Bernard Berrian.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah, they had to block. Catching trash. I know you can't say it, but I'm gonna say it, though. In college, they were cold, you know, that's why I always say sometimes the college shit don't translate to the pro. So them were receiver, but they were blocking receivers. And they did a hell of a job. No real talk. They proud. They did what they were supposed to do. Blocker, they damn sure wasn't catching.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah. Yeah. They had to make a sacrifice, you know, for sure.
Paige Desorbo
For sure.
Adrian Peterson
The boys didn't complain, but that was Sydney Rice. That boy right there was something serious, though.
Paige Desorbo
Nah, he was. He was. Yeah.
Adrian Peterson
But it was like just being in the zone, man. It is. When I go back and watch that game again, you just see these guys just blocking. Just blocking their ass off, man, you know, down the field, you know, so they diving the guy's legs. So it was just the combination of, you know, the offensive line staying true to it, you know what I'm saying? Me continue to press and really getting in sync with those guys. And the guys out wide, tight ends as well, you know, just really locking in, understanding that, you know what? We gonna run the Rock, and that's what we're doing. It's working. We getting five, six, eight a chunk, you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, you know, so it was. It was that type of game.
Paige Desorbo
When did it really hit you that this my goddamn team? Because, you know, come on now, you know, you. You know, you said thing in your mind, your agent or whoever, it was like, this is my goddamn team now. This shit going through me. We need to get some big beef cat on this goddamn line, goddamn it. Cause we gonna run the ball. When did you know that? What year was that?
Adrian Peterson
That was. That was in year one, man. Yeah. Yeah. Year one. Year one. Year one. You know, I realized that early. You know, one thing I've never, you know, had a problem with was having that confidence, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, I put in the work, you know, like, I was able to realize at a young age that guy had blessed me with tremendous talent. And then, you know, on top of that, you wasn't going to outwork me, you know what I'm saying? So not only am I the most talented guy on the field, but you're not going to outwork me, you know what I'm saying? Even if you folks, I'm gonna be right there in your ass, you know, trying to get you every time. So that's the mentality that I had. So when I went, I came in with that same mentality, like, you know what? I'm gonna come in and, you know, I'm gonna be the best player on the team. I'm gonna help this team try to win a championship, period. You know what I'm saying? So after about four or five weeks, you know, once they finally got me in and threw me in there, you know, as a starter, you know, I kind of felt then, you know, this is gonna be my team, and, you know, we're gonna. We're gonna see. See what we can do now, now.
Paige Desorbo
Now you say, what? Nobody gonna outwork you. But it also seemed like, what, Nobody gotta hump you either. You got eight kids, fam. You pulling out was the driveway, wasn't you, fam? Say, I'm gonna get Lynn on the field and.
Adrian Peterson
Be fruitful and multiply, man.
Paige Desorbo
Hey, ain't nothing wrong with it, man. Ain't nothing wrong with, man, you know, having kids, man.
Adrian Peterson
I got some dogs, too, though.
Paige Desorbo
I know you do. I. If. If you instilling what's in you into them. Oh, my God. We. We in for it, man. In the kids, man. We in for it, bro.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Then you can have a son run the hundred. I think I just seen somebody running track.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I got two boys that's running right now. One of them runs for the afterburners out here and, you know, the Missouri City area, Sugar Land parallel area. And then one was for dbe, you know, they kind of want to stay with the, you know, their friends or whatever. But my youngest one, he ran. Just last week, he ran a toy. I mean, a 13, 13, 3, 3, 2, and he's nine. This past week, this past weekend, they won a four by one, first place. Four by four, they got first place. And then he got second in the 400. He ran a 103, 139. And that's, you know, something about track that's like, that's moving, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's moving right there. The kid that beat him, like, they go back and forth all the time throughout the season, you know what I'm saying? So I know actually he'll get around to beating them. And then my older son, they didn't run a hundred this week. He just ran the melody relay. And then he did the. The four by. The four by one relay. They did that. Yeah. Yeah. So they. They put in work, man, they grinding, you know, they. They understand, you know, Adrian, he's starting. He's starting to understand, too. He's starting to develop. He's understanding their mindset and what it really takes to, you know. You know, when you have the expectations and you got these goals that you want to reach. He's understanding that your body can do some incredible things if you allow your mind to, you know, allow it to get there, to push yourself there. Axel, he's like, oh, he comes after running a 103, he's like, hey, dad, can I get my iPad now, bro? You.
Paige Desorbo
Why are you.
Adrian Peterson
Why you wear a bunch of iPad? You know what I'm saying? You know, so he's developing that mindset, you know, as well, because I see him working harder and, you know, putting in that effort and not just listening to what I'm saying and not just taking. Allowing what I'm saying to go in one ear, out the other. I see some things at a young age. So, you know, once he get around his brother age, he gonna. He gonna be something special.
Paige Desorbo
Well, you know, I always say. I always hear other father say, do they know who you really? They know you, dad, but do they know who you really is and what you done, like, in. In the league, like. Cause you, you know, you're a future hall of Famer. We know that, but do they really know who pops really is? Like, son, I'm that nickel, and it's not bullshit. Ain't too many people that's playing in the National Football League has done what you done. Like, you do know this, right? You the last non quarterback to win mvp.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Paige Desorbo
East Texas.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, East Texas.
Paige Desorbo
Come on, man. That's just legendary right there, man. Dude, I know from where I'm from around the way. Adrian Peterson, man. MVP football running back for Minnesota.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the older ones know, you know, they. Because Asian, they. They was right there in the mix, you know, so they get it. You know, my younger, you know, Axel, my baby girl, she'll. She'll learn when she get older.
Paige Desorbo
He.
Adrian Peterson
He kind of understands. He know I play football and, you know, he see the videos and he always see people coming up to me when they, you know, get all the way off some pictures or whatnot. Whatnot. But he don' really understand the full magnitude of, you know, like, I was that and I was out there putting in that work. You know what I'm saying? Like, he don't understand to that. To that standpoint, what.
Paige Desorbo
What squad you was on that you think y'all. That. Y'all think y'all could have. Y'all could have done somewhere. Was it. Was Brett the quarterback then?
Adrian Peterson
You think that that was our year, man. 2009. That was it, bro. You know, 2009 was our year. And the crazy thing about that game, we had seven. Was it. We had six or seven turnovers, bro. Yep. I put the ball on the ground three times. I lost one of them. One. My first fumble. I think my boy Fahu Tahi ended up jumping on it. The second one flew out in front of me by 10, 15 meters, and that was probably. I mean, 15 yards, that was probably one of the best plays I've ever had in my career. Because I was down on my knees. I don't know how I got to that ball. And then you get a chance, you should just look that up. I don't know how I got it, but I did. It was like angels in the outfield. Like, literally, it was like that. I zoomed to the sucker and then the third one, you know, I've always taken it and claimed it, but. And I'm still mad at the Vikings for even calling the play. Like we practiced this goal line play. I'm just like, man, let's stop trying to be pretty. You know what I'm saying? Get right there in the single back or put the fullback out formation and let's come right down here. We got in the wishbone. I'm down in the three Point stands, you know, we down three point stands and it was like a off tackle play and far came out and put the ball on my shoulder, I mean on my, my ribs. And that's how they fell out.
Paige Desorbo
I remember that. I remember that. You know, we East Texas. Think about it. Somebody, you, you watching. And I had, I think I had to go to the restroom and come out and I got an uncle. He, he just negative, he gets negative.
Adrian Peterson
Pete.
Paige Desorbo
I said, I come back, I said, what's happened? He said, man, that gonna fumble again. God damn. But that happens. That's the NFL, man. You ain't the only one that fumbled before, bro. That, that happens. Yeah, but it's like you say, mean to cut you off. It's, it's the mind frame you had from the very beginning, bro. And I'm just wishing that the young players, young men or young Lakers, that's in sports now, they is what you said early in the show, man, you know, you had the talent, but you got to put the work in. Like, you got to work on your craft or you not going to get better. So with all that that happened, all that, you overcame that, but you also overcame that torn acl, bro. Let's talk about the comeback from that. Like, what in your mind did you have? I know you can have no doubt because it's the way you are, but you hear people say, is he done? Would he ever be the same? Did that drive you in training and this, that and the third?
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, that was definitely some of the driving force, you know, that added fuel to the fire. You know, I was already determined that, you know, I was going to come back and be better than I was before. And I tell people this all the time when that happened in Washington. And, you know, they took me off, they carried me off and then went to the, the locker room. My dad was actually there at the game and you know, he came into the locker room and they're doing the assessment, you know, checking out the leg and they bam. You know, the ACL is torn. You know, they moving around, bam. That the LCL is torn. It was like, you know, God, you know, I already knew what that process was going to be. You know, it's 912 months, they say, right. And I remember in that moment just like just asking God to give me the strength, you know, just give me the strength to be able to overcome this, you know. And in my, in my mind and I told my dad and the trainers, I said, you know, what it is, what it is, I said, ain't nothing I can do about it. So I'm just going to accept it for what it is, for what it is and I'm going to come back and I'm going to be better than I was before. You know what I'm saying? And that's kind of how, you know, I just kind of programmed it in my mind because at that point it, it is what it is. What are you going to do now to come back and be better than you were before?
Ryan Reynolds
So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them is the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does. Cuz Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

Adrian Peterson
And then, you know, just going through that process, you hear people say, oh well, you know, we won't ever see the same Agent Peterson. You know, we don't seen the last supplement. You know, no guys come back from, you know, the ACL injury, especially when they tear multiple ligaments and this, that and other. And I'm just like, I don't know who you guys serve, but I serve a God and I could do all things through Christ who strengthened me. That's, that's, that's one thing I know. I see my brother in front of me, you know what I'm saying? Like, and he done gave me the strength to be here, you know what I'm saying? Gave my mom the strength to be able to overcome and, and, you know, and all that, oh, this, this is gonna be nothing, you know. So for me, I just had that same mindset, like, you know what I'mma grind, I'm gonna do whatever, you know, whatever I need to do. When the doctors say, well, it's going to take you three to four weeks before you're able to lift your leg up. After I came out of surgery and I woke up talking to the doctor to kind of getting an update of whatever he did. And my first question I asked him was, hey, so when would I be able to start doing some simple exercises like moving my leg, just kind of getting my mobility back in the leg. He was like, well, it's going to be about three or four weeks before you can do that because the muscles are going to shut down and all that because of surgery. And I lift my leg up. Then I said like this, you know, you know, you know, we don't want you doing too much, just that another, you know, well, I'm just like, you know, let's go, you know, it's time to go ahead and get this process started. You know, so that's the mindset that I approach through with, through every phase of that, of that recovery. You know, anybody that had Any type of ACL injury or knee injury, you know, about the. One of the hardest parts is like getting your flexion back, you know, 90 degrees, you know, being that leg. That leg is stuck like that. You know what I'm saying? You got to be able to bend it and really get that 90 degree back and then your full extension as well. I wouldn't wish that pain on my. My worst enemy, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, it's one of those moments where I just had to. Just throughout that process of getting that range back, I had to just dig down deep, man. I'm telling you, I'm just like, keep going, keep going, keep going. I just kept pressing myself, pressing myself because I knew, you know, that was one of the most important keys, making sure I got my 90 back and that full extension so I wouldn't be walking middle up, you know, and I can have, you know, I can just be back to normal. And then, you know, once I got that back, now I'm at the point where, you know, I'm able to get on the bike and I'm riding the bike. I used to ride the bike for hours, two hours, just because this is what I can do to strengthen my core. I mean, strengthen my quads, my glutes, you know, say my core as well, then shoot. You know, y'all want me to be on 45 minutes to an hour, you know, I'm go hour and a half too, you know, so it was a lot of things that people didn't see, you know, and they, you know, they. When they come back and say they don't know how you did that, man. Like, that was incredible for you to come back and do, you know, do the things that you did on that field after 10 year ECL and LTL, and. But they don't see the grind, you know, they don't see the blood, sweat, and tears and, you know, the. The countless hours I was up in bed just lifting my leg, you know what I'm saying? Flex, you know, getting my flexibility back, making sure I stayed on top of it, you know, with my stem machine on, you know, making sure I'm doing extra reps and all that, you know, it was. It was a process, you know, and I had. And during that time, I lost a lot of weight, man. I got down to like 195. And when I left college, when I left for college, I was what, 205, 208. And then once I got to NFL, I was probably like about 217. I fluctuated between 217, 220. So I had dropped dating at 30 pounds, you know what I'm saying? And so getting on that regimen, as far as having the right team around you, right, Supporting, you know, Cass, because I didn't do all my recovery in Minnesota, I came back to the h, came back to the. Hooked up with Russ Payne, my boy James Cooper, over at our gym or athletic. And I had. And what was her name, man? One Tiffany Tisdale. One hurt. But I had a chef who was. Who was doing meal preps for me. You know, I'm gonna make sure I got my, you know, the right thing as I needed to help with recovery and get. Get my weight back where I needed to be. And I'm telling you, man, by the time I got down the training camp, the boy was like, hey, man, you know, we wasn't expecting this, but what we're gonna do is we just gonna put you on the side. I'm like, man, I'm ready. I'm ready to go practice now. They weren't trying to hear none of that. They were, so, okay, we see what you can do, but we just gonna play. We're gonna just play it, you know, play it safe. If you want to keep training and working out on the side for the next two weeks, then you just go ahead and do that. So I was like, all right, cool. That just gave you more time to grind and, you know, a different type of mode, the training count. So I did that for about two weeks. And then once I got in there, man, it was. It was that goal that I told myself I gave that goal that I set to be walking out that tunnel. You know, week one, you know, it came. I seen myself, you know, we getting announced, and I'm the last one. I see all the smoke, they announcing all the other guys. And then, you know, it's my turn to walk into the tunnel, and I just see the smoke, and I'm just like, you know what I'm saying? And people wonder why I do that. I'm giving praise, you know what I'm saying? To the most high. Because, you know, eight months ago, I was in it. I was it. I was in a position where people were saying, oh, he's not gonna come back and be the same. He's gonna, you know, this might be the end of his career, blase, blah, blah, blah. But, you know, and throughout that process, I kept talking about, you know, I got. I got a higher power just watching them with me, you know what I'm saying? I believe in the higher power. So I'm gonna show you guys what it's about. So to be able to come out and run through that tunnel, man, it was. It goes to show, you know, when you believe, you have faith and you put that work in, you got to accomplish anything you put your mind to.
Paige Desorbo
You President through the storm, like King Arthur the Great.
Adrian Peterson
Yep. And then this, too. I ended up 8 yards short of the all time record. You know, Russian single, single season, Russian record. In my mind, whether I. I have that status or not, I broke it in my mind. Like I. I actually crushed it in my mind, you know what I'm saying? Being AR short, coming off the acl, they still worked me in that season as well, you know what I'm saying? Took me out third quarter when we was beating boys in, you know what I'm saying? So in my mind, it was just like I crushed the record, you know what I'm saying? So I've always had that mentality since, you know, since that year, you know what I'm saying? But I feel like God just put me in a position to show what he was really about, man.
Paige Desorbo
God is. I talk about it all the time. My show, man. God is great, bro. And I don't judge people who don't believe in him, but I do. And I know what the good Lord can do, man. I know what prayer can do. And man, you had some praying people around you because typically back then when you. When that happened to you, most running backs or receivers, whoever that happened to get people career was, is pretty much over.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
And what you did, you came back a remarkable season. Eight yards shy of Eric Dickinson, who holds the NFL record. Now shout out to A.D. but that boy behaving, that boy don't want nobody to get that ruck. I was mad at the Eagles for not letting Saquon get it, man. Like, you know what I'm saying? Let's go ahead. That's what Ruckles are meant to be broken. Let's break them, man. Yeah, but you know, it is what it is. He's still the leader of it. Shout out to him. You know, he went to. You know, I think he's from Texas too, by the way.
Adrian Peterson
Even for us. Sealy Texas okay with the SW Ed. Hey, you know what? He cool people though, bro.
Paige Desorbo
Like, both of y'all tall. Y'all both lanky, man. I like when I first met you, I ain't know you was that tall. You like at least six.
Adrian Peterson
Two, six, three. Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Like, like, like for the people that's watching. I don't know if y'all ever make Met Peterson, bro, but dude got muscles in his eyebrows, dog. I'm serious, man. So quick question. Do you dip grizzly or Copenhagen? Which one?
Adrian Peterson
Grizzly. Oh, Rick.
Paige Desorbo
I used to dip grizzly too, so.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah. Yep. They grizzly. Wintergreen. Yes, sir.
Paige Desorbo
So. So you was dipping during the games too, as well?
Adrian Peterson
Yep, yep, yep. I took them out majority of time when I got on the field, but sometimes I had added in.
Paige Desorbo
It's dope. Like. Okay. Cause, you know, these are myths. But we gonna get down to it. What was your 40, 40 yard time? 40 yard dash time?
Adrian Peterson
432.
Paige Desorbo
432. What was you benching?
Adrian Peterson
I was benching, you know, 425. 435. Squatting squad was around my 480. I mean. I mean. 580. I'm tripping. 580.
Paige Desorbo
Ah, God damn.
Adrian Peterson
405 was that. That was like, you know, I'm gonna get 12 to 15 reps now. Yeah, yeah.
Paige Desorbo
How often was you working out, though? Let's be. I think you. I think he was a lab rat, to be honest.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, so. And when I got in the NFL, I was working out, what, three by three times a week, you know, But I did the bulk of my work, you know, Monday and Tuesday, because Wednesday, the install kind of favor, like the receivers and all that. So, you know, and Tuesday is an off day in the league, you know what I'm saying? So Monday I should come in even after the game and do my squats, flush my body, you know, four or five, you know, saying 445 on the squats. And I don't believe in. I never believed in reps of 4 to 6. You know, I was always 10 to 12, you know, 10 to 15, those type of reps. So that first part of the week, I would push my body, do all my rehab, cold tub and all that. And she'll get my conditioning in and then I'll be ready to roll by time. Sunday came around.
Paige Desorbo
The hardest hit you ever took. Who delivered it?
Adrian Peterson
The hardest hit I ever took. Brian Dawkins. Eagles Brian Dawkins, man, it was inside his own plate.
Paige Desorbo
Boom.
Adrian Peterson
I bounced, got back up the field and got tripped going through the hole. And as I'm looking down, I'm looking up the field, that nigga was coming. And I feel like since with my head down, he hit me so hard in my back, bro. Like, when I tell you my back neck area, he hit me so Hard. He was just like, whoa. You know, he's so. He knew he had got a good one on me, too.
Paige Desorbo
Dang.
Adrian Peterson
That's probably the only time I. I literally, like, felt a hit and was just like, damn, that nigga hit me hard in the mud, you know what I'm saying? I got up. I was mad at Brian Donkers for a minute after that. I thought I was like, that was a dirty hit. Cause I was already falling. You didn't have to do all that, you know what I'm saying? I was going down, bro. You know what I'm saying? But it was a playoff game, and just watching him and understanding how he played, I would have did the same thing. He had the same mentality. He was just a defensive player. And I would have did the same thing. I would have came down just like he did and made you pay for it, you know what I'm saying? It was Brian Dawkins. And then Sean Rogers got me one time when we was down in Detroit, and I broke and I bounced outside, and I think it was a cornerback that was coming in. It was coming down, pursuing me, and I cut back to the left, trying to jump, cut. Boom. And big Sean Rogers, he dang near £400, you know, while he was playing. He was about. And he was. He was. And he was a fast guy, though. So he was pursuing the ball, and I just cut back, and he just hit the dog crap out of me, man. That dropped me down on my. Just dropped me. And I remember getting up like I was ready to fight, you know? And I turned around, I see big shot, and I was like, okay, let me go and take. Take my butt back to this house. Back to the hole real quick. Leave this big boy alone. But those probably the only two that really felt like that.
Paige Desorbo
What team. You knew that they weren't gonna let you do your thing. You hate playing. You just knew they weren't gonna let you do you, like, no matter what.
Adrian Peterson
Surprisingly, man, it was the Colts, man, like, and still to this day, the Colts always. It's like they. They got a style of defense that they play and a style of players that they like, you know what I'm saying? Like, they always got an agile defensive line, you know what I'm saying? And some smaller linebackers normally. But they fly to the ball, man. They fly to the ball. And that was the one team that always was on me, man. I never understood it because it's like, they weren't making it into any Super Bowls or anything like that, but that Defense was always fire, man. They always had athletic guys up front, and I think that's what made it. That made it hard. Hard when. When we played against those guys. But I would say them, you know, he was always. And still, even still to this day, you look at. You look at them, they got guys, they're probably 280, you know what I'm saying? 275, you know, and they're agile, athletic defensive linemen and linebackers.
Paige Desorbo
Who's the biggest trash talker, man?
Adrian Peterson
What was this cat name, man? I think it was. Was it Daniels? I think that was his name. Played for Green Bay, man. Defensive defensive tackle. Can't think of his first name right now, but he talked so much trash, man.
Paige Desorbo
He.
Adrian Peterson
He was the only one that. That made me open my mouth to talk. Like, normally, I'm just. I'm like an assassin out there. And I'll say nothing. I'm just going out there. You hit me, I'm gonna come back. And I'm coming back the same intensity, right?
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Adrian Peterson
But he was the one that always kind of brought it out me, but I would kind of, you know, jaw back and, you know, talk to him or whatnot. But I can't think of his first name, but he was a D tackle, and he was Daniels. His name was. Last name was Daniels. Played for Green Bay. He was. All right.
Paige Desorbo
Did you. Did you ever get to face Mike Vick in his prime?
Adrian Peterson
Oh, man, yeah. Nah, nah, not in his prime, man, I wish that would have been awesome to sit there. I would have been on the sideline taking the needle. What about to do, man, Wired up.
Paige Desorbo
Oh, man, yeah. Vic was must see tv, man. We just having an argument, man. I ain't gonna say an argument, but a conversation. And it was. Who was more electric? Was it prime time or was it Mike Vick? Like, who would you pay your last $2 to see perform? Was it Dion or was it Mike Big? But we do know Mike Vick. I always had the ball in his hands. Yeah, I would say a whole lot more than what prime did. But I just remember the aura Mike Vick had, bro. And, you know, Dion had his own Atlanta Wade, but it was something about that Mike Vic Wade, bro, was just. Just.
Adrian Peterson
Oh, yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Different, man.
Adrian Peterson
It was different. It was different. It was different. I think that fact, along with him having the ball in his hand, you know, 100% of the time offensively, you know, it's kind of hard to pick Dion. And Dion, my all time favorite player, you know, but it's kind of Hard to. To pick Dion over. Over Vic from that standpoint. You remember that? You remember that Nike commercial, bro, where they had, like, the simulation with the ride and all that? Yeah, it was some serious, man. And it had a cannon, you know what I'm saying? Through that thing, that thing. 60ft, 70ft, you know, off of one foot, and just so elusive, and he was just. He was something different, man.
Paige Desorbo
Best quarterback you faced.
Adrian Peterson
Best quarterback I faced Tom Brady.
Paige Desorbo
What was that like?
Adrian Peterson
Remarkable, you know, just seeing the precision on this ball, you know what I'm saying? Just watching him. Because I just sit back and just watch him, you know what I'm saying? Like, the. Like, I didn't really. I look at how the phones came out a lot of the times, but, you know, just watching him and seeing how. Where his eyes were, the things that he was looking at, you know, really kind of dialed into him and his decision making, and it was like, bar none of that, man, you know, and it was only a couple other guys that I seen do it on that level, you know, Drew Greed, you know, Peyton Manning, you know, those. Those type of guys. But watching him operate, man, it was. It was special, man. Like, just seeing the zip on his ball and just the confidence that he had in his arm to get the ball there, you know what I'm saying? So it was. It was pretty spectacular to experience.
Paige Desorbo
So he played with another hall of Famer, Brett Favre. Was for. Was for Bobby Karen up there back then with y'all.
Adrian Peterson
If he. Did he invite me over there, it wasn't surprising.
Paige Desorbo
You know, they talk about he had a cannon, though. Did you ever see him breaking any receiver fingers or something? Or. They tell him to calm it down, man.
Adrian Peterson
It was at 40, right? So we had. We was at practice, man, and I had like a little five by five, you know, was. It was a five by five, three by three, little route, outside sit route or whatever. And a receiver was running around behind me, and he threw the ball, and I. Obviously, I. I knew the ball wasn't to me because it would have been right on me, right? So. But I could have, like, reached over and grabbed it, right? But he threw the ball past me. And that was the first time I ever heard from the ball, bro. Like, it blew my mind. I was like this dude, 40 years old, man, and this is the first time I've heard the ball, you know, wing or go over my ear when the ball is thrown. But. But the crazy thing is, even at 40, like, and even at practice, and this is why I got a lot of respect for him because I was the same way, you know what I'm saying? He wasn't out there just, oh, you know, just lobbing the ball just like it's practice. Boop. He was acting like it was the game, you know what I'm saying? That was the same way I practiced. You asked anybody that played with me, any team that I played with, even a walk through, I'm in that thing. Boop boop boop. Like I was always 100 miles per hour and far was the same way, you know what I'm saying? Every throw he was throwing like it was the game, man. So, you know, I had a lot. I had a lot of respect for them, even more so after that.
Ryan Reynolds
So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them, it's the right thing to do. But we all know degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started online petition and degree listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

Paige Desorbo
How you feel about now, the game now where the running back position is. Well, since Saquon did, we did last year, but it's been watered down. How do you feel about that now?
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, you know, I feel like those guys like Saquon, you know, you got Henry, you got Jacob, you know, you got, you know, Joe mixing down here, did his thing, you know, this year as well. And you know, so it's some up and coming guys too who are going to, you know, revamp it, you know what I'm saying?
Paige Desorbo
The boys in Detroit, they nice.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, exactly, exactly. So I think this core right here, this group is going to make them put some respect back on our name, you know what I'm saying? Because you see what these guys were able to do. We almost had two running backs hit 2000, you know, Derrick Henry was right there, you know what I'm saying, about 34 yards off, you know, so. And then the one thing that always stay true is when it comes to the playoff time, you know, they started hitting that rock off. How come, you know, you know what I'm saying? They started hitting that rock off a lot. But, you know, I think you kind of, you know, it's a national football league, right? So you go, you're going to go through different periods where, you know, they might try to devalue the running back. But I feel like the guys before, who has, who motivated these guys, who inspired these guys to play the game the way that they play, is going to continue to inspire kids to do it that way so they'll never be able to water us down or diminish what, you know, a true running back is able to do, you know what I'm saying? And it doesn't have to be running back by committee.
Paige Desorbo
When it's all over said and done, you know, what you've done is what you've done in your NFL career. Do you have any regrets in the game?
Adrian Peterson
Any regrets?
Paige Desorbo
Do you feel like you could have done something different when you was playing the game?
Adrian Peterson
One. Only one regret I really have, honestly. It was 2015. Was it 2015? Yeah, I think 2015. And last year we played outside. This is where we playing at TGF Stadium, University of Minnesota. And we played Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs, wild card game. And we were down, I want to say, maybe by a point. I think it was down by one. And we had. We were down on the goal line. It was maybe not the goal line. It was like on the eight yard line or whatnot. And of course they know they're running the ball, right? So bam. I get tackled. Boom. And the third down come up. And it was an inside zone play. And in my mind I'm like, we in field goal range. Let me protect the ball. Let me try to get as much as I can. And then we gonna kick this field goal and you know the game gonna be over. You know what I'm saying? I regret that because when I got the handoff, I hit the hole and for a split second, that's all it took, a split second. I could have, boom, bounced and just ran outside to the py line and just using my speed and got the touchdown. You know what I'm saying? But that second hat happened so fast, and I was so locked in on Boom. Let me just not try to do too much. Let me just sit there for the field goal. Boom. So I end up just kind of, bam. Cramming it in. And then they brought the field goal unit out and this negro missed the field goal.
Paige Desorbo
What was that like? What was going. Be honest, fam. Like, did anybody on the team say something to him, though?
Adrian Peterson
Oh, yeah, we said something to that boy. Oh, yeah, Without a doubt. It was like. And not only that. What? Even hurt even more than that. It was so cold out there. It was one of the coldest games in NFL history, like top five. So to fight through that game and for it to come down to a game winning field goal, an extra point kick, and you missed the field goal. Boys ready to fight that dude, man.
Paige Desorbo
Because I wouldn't have been in the game, no way. So I would have got off up top, my hand. Soon we got. I'm throwing these, holding real talk. Y'all gonna keep me on the team because I can handle business. Goddamn shit like that, bro. Cause I respect the game. I talk a lot of shit, but I respect the game. I know how hard it is to get to the playoffs. I know how hard it is to get to a Super Bowl. I hearing different stories, this and that, but, like, that can't happen, bro. You got a job to do. Just put. Kick the ball. That's all you got to do. You can, like you say, you can cram up, and then you got him in position. All you got to do, come through, kick it. We going home. We celebrate. You drinking brew. You dipping the stove. You making more babies. You're doing all that right here. Decide to miss the key. I'm jumping on him. I'm sorry. I'm jumping on him.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, that. It was. It was devastating, man. It was devastating. And even more so for me because I. I knew within that split second, me hesitating and not taking it, I'm just like. I look back at that, like, damn, you know, I could have. If I just wouldn't have hesitated and I could have just, bam, Take it out there, you know? Cause the NFL, bam. Just like that. It's open and closed, and had. I just went with it, you know, It's a different storyline. You know what I'm saying? So that's my only regret. What do you.
Paige Desorbo
What do you rank yourself among the greats? Be honest. I know how you. I know you. You always give everybody else they praise, but today we're giving you your praise. We giving you your flowers while you can smell them, because you can't do with them when you gone. Yeah. What do you rank yourself at when you hear the Emmy Smiths, the Walter Payton Thomasons, those type of players? Eric Dickerson, O.J. simpson.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, yeah.
Paige Desorbo
What do you rank yourself.
Adrian Peterson
Personally within. Within my. My mind, you know, I rank myself as. As the best. And this is why I say that. I say that because, you know, I feel like you can be the best in so many different categories, Right. Take, for instance, Barry Sanders. Right. I don't think. And, you know, anything is possible, of course, but I don't think we'll see another running back that would be as elusive as Barry Sanders was. You know, I still haven't seen. The only thing. The closest thing right now is Saquon. When you talking about picking up yards and gaining yards, you know, and making people miss, you know. You know, he's so dynamic, Right. I feel like when it comes to have a speed, power, vision, awareness, instinct, you know, I feel like me and Walter Payton were those type of guys, you know, what I'm saying Bo Jackson was that type of guy. Obviously his career was shortened because of the injury, but I feel like we were those type of guys that you just never knew where we were going to end up with the ball. But we're gonna do it with force. We're gonna run over you, we're gonna run through you, we're gonna run by you, you know, we're gonna jump over you. Like, we just had a totally different style, you know what I'm saying? Totally different style of play and. And then a total different mentality as well. So when it comes to that type of running back, I feel like I was the best to do it because I watched the guys before me, the, you know, the Eric Campbells, you know, the. The Walter Paytons, you know, these guys who. And inspired me, you know, lt, to play the game the way that I played. And I've always had the mindset to be the best to ever do it, you know, that's why when people come up to me and be like, hey, man, I don't care what nobody say, you know, you the best. You know what I'm saying? Had. Had. Had you not got hurt or had you not missed that one year or, or, you know, things just kind of played out a different way. Shoot, you. You right up there with Emmett when it comes to me. You wrapped up with where you are with Emmett when it comes to the yards, you know what I'm saying? So I understand the dynamic of how my career went and I understand how it could have went, you know what I'm saying? And I'm okay with that. It is what it is. It happened for a reason. But when it comes to, you know, just the running back position and what I brought to the game, you know, I personally feel like I was the best. That's the mentality I've always. I've always had and played with.
Paige Desorbo
I love that mentality. Cause I feel like I apply that to what I do in this comedy game, bro. Like, you gotta think that way. You can't think no other way. Like. And for you to say that coming from East Texas and for your name to be mentioned with the Emmy Smith, the Walter Page, bro, like, salute. That's legendary shit, bro. The rush over 2,000 yards, my G, like, that's unheard of. Ain't too many players ever dealt with what, five, 10 players ever rushed for 2,000 yards, like 10 to 10. It's not. It haven't been that many. I think Chris Johnson, he was on the list too, as well, dude, from the Titans. But for you to be able to do what you've done, bro, to. To what you are now, bro, is anything you. You would like to say to a young man that's in the game right now, man, anything, any thing you would like to say to him, let them know.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, man, I would say this, man, you know, I don't care who's in your corner. I don't care who's working against you or who's believing in you. You got your game plan in order, and you put that work in because you gotta understand, you get out what you put in. You put in mediocre work, you're gonna get mediocre results. You put in that grind, and you set your standard and your bar high and you believe that you can accomplish what it is that you set forth for yourself. You know, write those things down, make it known. You know what I'm saying? I got goals right now on this mirror right here, about seven of them little ticky tabs. Things that I want to accomplish still to this day. And I'm out of football. But every day I get up, whether I'm thinking about it or not, my eyes goes up. My eye God, my eyes goes over to that mirror and I see it. So it's like, bam, let's go. You know what I'm saying? I program myself to that. So you gotta understand. Yeah. That's the approach and the mindset you got to have. And then you attach to that. The number one ingredient is understanding that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. No one else can. No one else have to believe in you. Not your mama, not your dad, your grandma, your cousin, sisters, girlfriend, wife. No one else has to believe in you. As long as you believe in yourself and you put that work in, you're going to see the fruits of your labor. You're going to see it. It's a way. We're designed that way. We're. We're designed that way. No matter who else believe me, you believe in yourself. You write down what you're trying to accomplish, and you put that work in. You will accomplish it. All right.
Paige Desorbo
I like that.
Adrian Peterson
That's.
Paige Desorbo
That's. That's the motto. I always try to tell my people, my fans just watch this show, especially come from me. And you come from, bro, it ain't too many of us that made it out. And, you know, you. You what you done can't even fathom no like that, bro. But where I'm from, you know, it's either. Either you. You sell dope or you own dope. And I always tell people where I'm from, if you got a chance to move around or get out, move around, man. And don't be. Don't worry about what people say about you, man.
Adrian Peterson
They.
Paige Desorbo
They gonna talk, man. Like I'm dealing with that now, bro. It's like I'm successful because I'm in the Illuminati. I live like hard work gets you here. God gets you here, man. Like nobody's gonna give you. You got to go out and take it.
Adrian Peterson
You.
Paige Desorbo
Every chance you get. Any chance I ever got ap. I'm putting it in their face like I'm him. Like I do all this laughing, joking on these big yard.
Adrian Peterson
That's cool.
Paige Desorbo
But I really do this. When I get on this stage, I'm gonna show my ass. I'm gonna show you why people follow me and rock with me. Because that's just what it is. I won't. I wanna be mentioned with the. With the big dogs. Because why? Because I want to. Because while I'm from bro, we don't have a lot of money. Your name is all you got. So I want to leave that with the people, man. I'm trying to be the best I can always be, you know. Everybody ain't gonna like it. We get it. Everybody like that's what make the world what it is now. Everybody ain't gonna like it. Ain't that you ain't done something to somebody just the way the world is. But I tell people, man, what people say because what they eat don't make me so.
Adrian Peterson
I don't know.
Paige Desorbo
They say as long as my real fans is on here right now rocking with me, that's. I only care about who rocking with me. I don't give a damn about what nobody else saying because that ain't stopping nothing I got going over him. So.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
I get it, bro. I hear the people talking about you. I don't give a about negativity. It's all about the positive. This man came out of East Texas hall of fame running back mention with the Barry Sanders mention with the Walter Paytons, Eric Dickinson. That's the top of the top. If you was in the safari, you'll be the top line. You with the big main. You have 100 offsprings. That's you just like in real life. You got about eight right now. But I'm just saying I believe in giving people they credit while they are here, bro.
Adrian Peterson
I gonna tier one, huh?
Paige Desorbo
Hey, man, on the positivity. Side, that's what we do. Me and my fans, we love you, bro. We appreciate you for coming on this show, man, taking time out your business schedule. We appreciate it.
Adrian Peterson
Hey, hey, let me say one thing, man. Cause I was gonna say this, too. And you can hit. You hit it right on the head. So I'm just gonna say this. You know, people always have something to say, right? Like, always. And, you know, throughout my career and just life in general now, I still hear. I still hear you got to be able to block that out and just continue to press forward. And this is what I always tell. Tell my boys and my kids, I said, think about it from this perspective. Yahshua, Yahweh, Jesus, whatever you want to call. He walked this earth, perfect, no sin, and they beat him. When people hear. They hear beat, they don't understand the. The magnitude that he got beat. His skin was hanging off his body. Crucified him. No sins, talked about him. Who are we not to be persecuted? Like, who are we not to have to deal with it? You know what I'm saying? Like, who are we? So for me, you know, I'm human, don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day, we built for this. We're built. We built. He'll never give you more than you can bear. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I just want to kind of throw that in there because I forgot to mention that for sure, you know what I'm saying, to the youngsters, because you gotta be. Be able to understand. You built for anything that comes your way.
Paige Desorbo
Hey, man, that's a word for the day. We appreciate you, bro. Thank you for coming onto the bubble door. So we gotta get you on again, fam. Real talk.
Adrian Peterson
Yeah, we'll make it happen, man.
Paige Desorbo
Blessings. Thank you.

Ryan Reynolds
So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them. It's the right thing to do. But we all know degree Cool Rush deodorant well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does cuz Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.
