Before we get to Nick Foles, he is brought to you by our great friends over at Coors. The mountains are blue. Coors Light. You should be drinking Coors. I'm going to drink a lot of beer this winter. That's a promise. Get through this cold Chicago winter by drinking some ice cold Coors Light. Staying nice and toasty inside with a refreshing beer. Nothing beats a cold Coors Light. It's the only beer that's mountain chilled. And they've got the blue bottles, the blue mountains on the bottles, blue mountains on the cans. So you know when your beer is cold. I actually. I put my beer outside last night as a science experiment. The bluest mountain I've ever seen in my entire life. It was. It was gorgeous. But this season, you've got overcrowded stores, flight delays, awkward family dynamics, dinner mishaps. The holidays are far from perfect. But that doesn't mean that we have to lose our chill. Forgotten ingredients don't have to ruin dinner. Takeout and Coors Light are always crowd pleasers. It's cold lagered, cold filtered, cold packaged for a smoother finish. Choose chill. This holiday season, reach for a Coors Light. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door. Visit coorslite.com take or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly. Coors Brewing Co. Golden, Colorado. Nick Foles is also brought to you by Chevy. There's a reason why we've never done the Mount Rushmore pickup trucks and that's because Hank would lose that too. But the real reason why we've never done it is because for part of my take, there's only one pickup truck. It's the Shelby Silverado. Why is that? Well, Silverado is a partner, a partner that you can depend on. We've all spent time driving using the Silverado for all kinds of part of my take jobs, adventures, shenanigans. Silverado has been our ride for a cross country trip to the Super Bowl. They helped us dig the biggest hole ever in the state of Ohio last year at grit week. And this year Chevy Silverado was out west with us for our latest grit week as we went surfing, driving around Southern California. It was all done in the Chevy Silverado. They bring the grit too. Legendary grit paired with modern truck tech inside and out. Massive screens, up to eight cameras with 14 different views to help make driving, towing and parking all easier year. We love the Chevy series of trucks. We love the Silverado HD trail boss. That thing looks awesome. Head over to Chevy.com build your own Silverado or Silverado HD and check out all the current offers on Silverado. Discover strength, a world of strength and capability all behind the wheel of our favorite truck, the Chevy Silverado. And now here's Nick Foley.

Nick Foles (112:26)

I mean, Carson, as we all know, was having an MVP caliber year that year. And then when he got hurt on the play, he actually stayed in, threw a touchdown the next play. And I knew something was wrong because I've been around him enough. I knew how. I know how tough he is. So I knew something was wrong when he came off and they took him up. I knew it was going to be probably bad just from being around him and knowing his toughness. And I, you know, your body, like, knows when something like that, like I'm about to step in. So all of a sudden the adrenaline changes, the nerves start coming, your stomach starts getting the, what we say, butterflies. And I think the key in that is I just took a moment, took a deep breath, you know, just said a prayer and just was like, you know what? I'm not going to be out there alone, I'm with 10 other guys in the huddle, and I have a great team around me. I need to do my job. I still have to execute at a high level. I can't just go out there and just sit there and hope someone else is going to make a play. I'm a quarterback. I have to make a play. But I also know there's like an acclamation period. So there was grace and understanding. But that was from my, you know, previous part of my career in playing football my whole life. Like, I think you have expectations to go out there and if you don't meet them, then all of a sudden gets in your head. I knew I would need to acclimate, so I gave myself grace and eventually it hit it the right time. But, yeah, I mean, the nerves start hitting. I'm human, man. The next day, I mean, I'm in a QB room, just Nate Subfeld and I watching film, and we know what's happened. We get the news about car person, and I say, we were watching film. We had the film on. We did not watch film that day because we were both going through emotions because we're. We're going to the playoffs, we have a great team. And then we realized it's on our shoulders. So we just talked about that and hashed it out as humans do, because it's a lot of pressure. But having that brother like Nate there during that time, you know, we developed such a brotherly bond that will last for life. But, yeah, I'm so grateful I had him. But that was the realness after the situation, it's like we're not in there, like, watching film. We're, like, dealing with the emotions of what is about to happen.

PFT Commenter (134:49)

We'll get back to Nick in a second. But let's face it guys, after a night with drinks, I don't really bounce back the next day like I used to. I have to make a choice. I can either have a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre alcohol Zbiotics. Got them right here. Fun fact, I've been using Zbiotics for years. I was using them before they came on to part of my take as a sponsor. It actually works. I take one of these before a night out and I feel much, much better the next day. Zbiotics pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotics. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. Is this byproduct not dehydration that's to blame for your rough next day? Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember, take pre alcohol, your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you will feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre alcohol before Dr. Drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Last Friday night, went out to a concert, had Zbiotics before I had my first drink of the night. Saturday morning, woke up feeling wonderful. This stuff works. If you come over to my house, I make sure to pass out a round of pre alcohol Zbiotics to everybody before you start drinking. And the stuff actually works. I spend money on it. I'm on a delivery system from Zbiotics. With the holiday season upon us, I'm going to be consuming a bit more alcohol than you usual. With pre alcohol I can stay on track and not let the season throw me off course. Go to ZBiotics.com pmt you can learn more. Get 15 off your first order when you use code PMT at checkout. ZBiotics is backed with 100% money back guarantee. So if you're unsatisfied, they will refund your money, no questions asked. Remember, head to zbiotics.com pmt and use code pmt at checkout for 15% off. They're good people. It's a good product. I endorse it. I personally use it Check them out. Now Zbiotics. Now more Nick Foles. So Max is a huge Eagles fan, big Philly sports guy. I'm sure he has some questions for you.

Nick Foles (143:29)

So, yeah, you got it from me that we had a great quarterback room and light the life emotions definitely go in, but we had a great quarterback room in the sense of, like, caring for one another and having, like, you know, being there during an injury, deep being there during a difficult situation. And, you know, the Philadelphia media is nationally known for, you know, being, you know, putting stuff out there and being aggressive with it. I mean, that's what they do. And that. That's their job to do that. That's how they put food on the table for, you know, their family, and that's what they're asked to do. It is a. You know, when you go into the media and the thing with them is I always had a great relationship with the media because I eventually just took the perspective. I was like, listen, these are human beings. I know what they're doing. I know they have to ask these questions. They have. Maybe they want to ask, or their boss is telling them, like, you have to ask this. It's my job to not get offended or be upset about it. And if I can't answer a question, I just have to pivot it and give them something to write about. Like, they have to write something. Something. So instead of just being upset and like, oh, why'd you ask? That's like, you know, I. I'd eventually be like, you know, I can't answer that. So nice try. But what I can give you is this. But it was more just having that because, I mean, you don't want the media mad at you, right? Like, in Philly, I mean, if they're mad at you, they're gonna go at you. So I always want to treat them as human beings and have that perspective. And in doing so, I felt like I had a really great relationship with them and I never really had an issue with it. I actually had fun going into the media. I changed my perspective. Like, when I go into this, I get my, you know, heads up, like, hey, here's some stuff that's going on. But I'm like, all right, let's see what they're going to try to ask as opposed to, like, I hope they don't ask this because I'm gonna get pissed off. I was like, let me see if they go this way. And if they did, I just had fun with it.

Nick Foles (151:03)

I go back and forth. I'm iPhone right now, but I go back and forth. I go. I like technology. Yeah. Hey. I like testing out. I always try to, you know, test different things out, but when I. When I look back at it, I gained a lot wisdom through the ups and downs. And, you know, even the, you know, when we got to the high, I had the heart to realize that, you know, this is really special. Embrace it, enjoy it. And it's about the journey and the people alongside it. It's not about the trophy. It's about, you know, you remember the moments, the tough moments, because it was so hard to get there. And then why was I able to endure those moments with my teammates? Well, it was because of the. The bad moments before that I thought were bad. That taught me something inside side when every time we'd step on the field, we get killed. Maybe when I was in St. Louis, when I was struggling, when I got benched, you know, where I almost left the game and came back to Kansas City, all those different moments come to fruition, and I realized how much wisdom I gained to where now I am retired. And, you know, raising three children and raising kids is not easy because you're being intentional and all the different things go on, but it's also the most special thing in life. But I say that is. It's also very hard. So, you know, even coaching you sports, there's a lot of wisdom, and I'm grateful for that. So when I look back, I know what I was able to do. I showed moments of that. But I also think it was a great example of how. How important a team is. Yeah, you know, it wasn't me. It was my teammates and our coaches and everything together. So whenever I had success, everyone always says, like, why did you have so much success in Philadelphia? Well, they have a great owner. They have, you know, how he's done a great job as gm, and they've done great with coaches in the locker room. They. They have a system that they hold, too. And then also, I think the fan base. The fan base really, like, makes, you know, it's like we said, like, they're going to hold you accountable just as much, if not more than any fan base. So, like, you better lock in, because you can't go out there complacent on Sunday or Monday or Thursday whenever you're playing. Like, you have to bring it every single day because those fans are going to let you hear it. So you. You remember that when you step on. It's not that way all the time. Sometimes the stadium's not even full, so there's not that accountability.
