 They love that dance. Look at those moves. You've got three-time all-pros Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles tackle with us today Is there anyone tougher in the trenches? No, Lane Johnson. How are you? Welcome back Doing good. Yeah, just a few months away from training camp. So so wind it down Yeah, you got some new moves you're working on buddy over the summer Yeah, after my surgery I had to learn a few To get back in the rhythm again, but yeah, I'm glad that's over But yeah feeling good and yeah, I'm looking forward to the season Amazing. It's great to see you. You look great. I you know, we're gonna get into it all But summer travels are what I'm thinking about. I might go to Italy. I might hit up a couple training camps Do I need to add Frisco to the list because my goodness lane the ol mastermind summit is coming up July 7th and 8th And this teaser that was tweeted with this lineup. Tell me all about it Yeah, so we we have will shields coming this year Um, Steve Hudson Whitworth Anthony Munoz. So we're really just getting a whole broad selection of guys But I think the main thing is to get all these different caliber players They can talk about their experience, you know, and then I fell how they trained what they did And I just think it gives like incredible insight, especially to a lot of the young guys that are in So they can learn and hopefully develop their game a little bit Those young guys you're you're 33 you're like an og in this league even though doesn't look like it Does it feel crazy to be like I'm 33, but I mean you're you're at your peak. You're looking insane out there every game Yeah, like in my mind, I'm still like 25 and then you know as the years go on it's like hey I'm the old guy now. So it's it's crazy. Kind of how the uh, the circle is came back to me Do you and Jason joke about that? Do you embrace it? Yeah, I definitely embrace it. It seems like, you know, the older that we we've gotten the uh, The shorter the fuse it takes to kind of set us off. It's kind of like You know, the the dog you once had that was once young and youthful and as they get older they might get a little bit more tested I like that comparison. That's a good metaphor Uh, I want to do like a little check-in because you you won the Super Bowl You know what that feels like and you lost a Super Bowl so you know what that feels like So you're a sort of a a rare person who gets the the feeling of both Which one did you learn more from the win or the loss? I mean you learn a lot in both. I think the win I just think you realize that the next year is very tough the schedule is usually a little bit tougher And then you have people, you know coming for you then they know that they're planning It's a good team. So mentally that was a tough year. And then, you know, obviously the loss I think you can learn a lot about, um, you know, we're we're very close to getting a second one, but Uh, just I think you learn to how much work it takes and how special I think the moment is, um, you know After the fact you kind of realize that but yeah, it's just it's a long process You know, you start in late july and then you're not done till february So it's just a such a long season. It takes a lot of you know ability It obviously takes a little bit of luck, you know keeping healthy and and all that but really, uh, yeah You go, uh, you know, you learn to respect it just the whole process and everybody involved Lane knowing how a loss feels now. Do you feel like you celebrated back in 2018 enough? Yeah, I maybe could have taken a notch further. Uh, yeah, you just uh Yeah, I mean I feel like I'm too totally totally different people from from them But yeah, I just you know, I think I've grown to learn. I just appreciate the guys that I'm with I remember Brent said like talking about how He was playing in the nfc championship I think his rookie year and then he's like, you know, I'll be back They lost uh, lead to the cardinals and then you know, he didn't go back till his 11th 11th season his last season So, yeah, I'm just taking advantage of all my new teammates learning those guys Yeah, and just really setting Getting ready for the season. I feel like we have a lot of ability and also we have a tough schedule. So, um, you know It'll all come by and Bob, but yeah, just really excited about the guys that we acquired I think we have the the ability to be a great team this year We love to hear that. I want to hear about those rookies, of course You've had this front row seat to watching Jalen Hurts He was in the headlines in the off season, of course the losses behind you There's probably no better person to lead that team and the mentality he has and looking forward and turning the page Then Jalen Hurts and you got to watch him crush it with your sooners probably before even ending up in Philadelphia You've seen his growth Lane, what's the biggest thing that sort of maybe stuck out to you once you became teammates from watching him back When he was in college and and what have you noticed about his growth the most over the past couple years? I mean, honestly, he's grown as a player. I just think his, uh, you know, the quarterback position his temperament and demeanor How he goes about his business Every day, um, how he conducts himself in the meeting room and just that confidence that's infectious You know, he says a lot without without saying a whole lot if you know what I mean So I think that's infectious the team And really, like I said, it's like a coach. That's very calm how he is in the huddle that really helps the football team Um adjust to different situations good or bad and I think, you know, have you know gives us the ability to To ride the different challenges that each game presents, but I think that's probably the biggest thing It's just his confidence in how he carries himself I love to hear that. We can't wait to get you guys back in the Super Bowl this year Uh, you signed that deal you're ready to go and you you mentioned how it takes some luck It takes good fortune It takes health and all of that and there's the physical part of that and then there's the mental aspect of that And even in talking about your quarterback Jalen Hertz, you're talking about his demeanor You're talking about, you know, how he handles things as a leader and you're such an advocate You're a leader in this space. You really are it's mental health awareness month all of may you don't do stuff in may You do stuff all year round and you're such a strong advocate. You're the first Athlete ambassador for cooth. Okay, and cooth is a leading mental health digital platform and it's aimed towards kids You're partnering with cooth and the Philadelphia school district. This is about the coolest thing I've seen all off season. What made you want to get involved in this? I just think over the past few years that athletes in general have promoted mental health and I feel like, you know In our profession that a lot of the struggles we go through are, you know, with ourselves And I think just developing yourself to be the best person you can be Not only with Phil, but I just think it helps with every aspect of live relationships You know business And I think, you know, develop that at a young age at least bringing the knowledge to kids to To work on themselves and develop themselves in that sense Can make all the difference and I think it's maybe a platform that maybe I wish I would have had when I was younger And could have taken advantage of but yeah, I just see that it's going to affect a lot of young Men and women and and help develop them to be the best person that they can be And so I think just the mental health in general I think you saw like kevin love different guys like thysa fury promoted But I think now that you know, even joe borough solomon thomas guys are jumping in in the nfl They don't realize how much impact that they have, you know over their communities It's amazing. It's geared towards school age children It's kuth guys download it if you're in the philadelphia area Definitely use the resources that are available to you and you bring it back to sports and the tremendous pressure that athletes are under You've been so candid about it What have you noticed even in the eagles locker room as far as what the team is making available to you guys for resources And how to deal with and cope with the lights that you guys are under Yes, I feel like uh just nfl has provided more, um You know resources for us whether it be sports psychologists to talk to um and really, you know Better yourself as a football player and then you have resources where you can talk about stuff off the field And really learn how to manage any problems that you have effectively. I feel like a lot of times A lot of people maybe procrastinate their problems and put it aside. It's really a way to address your problems Uh, maybe overcome yourself. Maybe get out of your own way a little bit and uh, and you know in that sense and Yeah, I just feel like that's really it's helped a lot of a lot of people, um, you know become a better football player and then that kind of Goes into uh becoming a better person. It helps, you know, everything off the field. So it kind of goes hand in hand It's really beautifully said and you know, I've heard you talk about it. I see you talk about it I had never gone to therapy. I went to therapy for the first time yesterday. I had a zoom call I did it for an hour. It was my first time it was easy and uh It was easy like easy to do it wasn't hard to find someone or You know to get connected and it's something that i'm really looking forward to when it comes to Reducing anxiety when it comes to becoming a more optimal self-actualized person So thank you for inspiring that because you really did you and all the players who are so open and candid About how important it is to sort of not put it aside and to focus on it. So thank you, lane It's very cool. Uh, that you are like this and that you're helping young kids Yeah, it is cool. And like I said, it's uh, it's a weird experience at first, you know, maybe trying some of this stuff But as you get into it more you learn more about yourself Maybe then you ever have and you can start kind of appealing layers that you've that you put up over the years and It really helped become a better like I said a better version of yourself It's amazing it translates down to the field. We even asked some of our you know Our community at up in Adams like all the sports fans the NFL people, uh, you know What is your best anxiety reducing technique because you shared some of yours On twitter and you had some breathing exercises, but here's some of the answers that uh, our producer marissa You'll meet in a second likes first one is this one solitude and silence. Yeah, that's a good one for me Just get you know, I know you love going fishing yeah Yeah, I just I like uh Maybe getting out of the digital realm and getting back into uh, you know nature Like I said quiet time I feel like that's the maybe the thing that people need to live with the most is being able to be quiet Not having any type of stimulation or or phone and learn how to be just with yourself and uh, yeah Like I said during the whole process you'll learn a lot about yourself As you you know work through these new challenges and new programs, but uh at the end of the day It's so refreshing and yeah, just just a lot of positivity at the end of the day And someone else said music and journaling and then someone and people are just giving I was really impressed everyone really gave what they do when they're feeling a little bit of anxiety Or a little stress or they just want to focus on themselves. I thought that was really really impressive So we appreciate everything that you do of course with everything But we want to get into you know, somebody mentioned music music is a cool thing to do So let's bring in somebody who's the biggest eagles fan. I know and you have to meet her if you've never have Her name is marissa mcbride. She's a producer on our show.

Good morning. Shout out to this first album I had it on my bookshelf But I saw something interesting on my instagram feed. Is there is there another uh album on the way I saw an instagram. I saw a little imoji that you commented. Can you confirm or deny another album? Oh Oh, I can confirm we're working on music. We haven't uh, you know, put a whole album together But yeah, it's still it's still in the work. So we just I actually got in the studio Last week and so yeah, this whole new music venture is totally new to me Obviously, jordan's very talented Kelsey and I enjoy music obviously but just getting uh to work with People in the music industry and you see how things are designed and how everything's put together it takes a lot of work and I just have a You know a lot of respect for these people and obviously it's going for a good cause and just yeah The whole process is kind of like me getting out of my comfort zone. There's nothing comfortable about me going into Music studio and they're not feeling like fully equipped to uh produce kind of the sound you want But at the end of the day, it's it's very fun and the people that I work with It's a great time and and yeah So I can't confirm that that it is in the works I have two more questions for you. Well, first of all, who's who's the worst singer? Sorry, marissa. Who's the worst singer? Oh It's down to kels and I kels has like his niche. I have I guess my niche, uh, but Yeah, we both enjoy it. We're not very over the top talented But we do enjoy being in there and then we kind of got to sit back and hear jordan sing Who's obviously very talented and so he kind of makes up for for some of the time loss on there with kels and I I love that. All right. Thanks so much marissa. I have one question for you because we were talking about when we You know the last couple games we saw you last year I know you want to look ahead But we cannot let you get away without answering this question this year's nfc championship performance Up against mr. Nick bosa who won the awards blah blah blah Was that in your opinion because it's mine your most dominant performance to date Uh, it was a it was a good game for me besides I think I got ball rest a couple times Especially the first ball rush you sent me back in the pocket, but Yeah, I mean anytime I'm going against a great player like that They had my utmost attention and it's just one of those things that when you play a great player That's so smart. So you have to Really dial in each and every play and I feel like, you know, uh, obviously the injury and then him, you know, obviously had my My attention and yeah, it was just one of those games that everything kind of fell into place and um I feel like some of the time that they have to recover Or maybe wasn't wasn't bothering as much as maybe it was in the giant scheme. So I felt a little more comfortable out there Yeah, I mean you had a torn abdomen zero sacks your quarterback case That's going to be your hall of fame case someday lane. We appreciate you
