Welcome everyone, to what could possibly be me peaking as a blogger. If you didn’t check out my post on The Michael Kay Show, check it out. That’s how it all started. I was listening to the radio, Michael Kay had Kyle on as a guest in Miami. They kept cutting Turley short on all of his answers and I was wondering why. Then, all of a sudden they brought Brooklyn Decker on. Oh. Right. That’s why. The thing is, you can’t see Brooklyn Decker on the radio. So what’s the point?. After that post, I was in contact with Tim from Gridiron Records (who is an awesome guy as well) about doing an interview with Kyle and I planned on letting him talk for as much as he wanted because I think he is an awesome guy with a lot of great points on all the topics that are currently going on in the NFL.
Here is a link to Turley’s EP on iTunes featuring two of the tracks we talk about “Fly ‘N Helmets” and “I Bleed Black and Gold” and be sure to check out the In-Store release on March 9th. The album will probably be on iTunes at the end of March. He is currently on tour in the West Coast, but he did say we will get a beer when he comes on the East Coast. So I’ll be looking forward to a follow up with Turley. A drunken, debauchery filled follow up.
My favorite parts of the interview included…
After Kyle spoke about giving his brain to science when his time is up.. We spoke about zombies:
Logic: You’re not scared they are going to make a zombie Kyle Turley?
Kyle: That’d be cool. That’d be awesome. I’d come back as Iron Maiden’s fucking roadie.
And during a question about his influences, I asked him if he ever murdered anyone…
Logic: So, have you ever shot a man in Reno just to watch him die?
Kyle: Not yet. But it ain’t over.
Well that was out of context! Aren’t I a professional? And it’s an interview like that, where you have some douche bag talking about murder, pedophilia and zombies that Kyle Turley is still well spoken and comical. Despite his legacy from one stupid play (Where any lineman would have done the same thing, given the chance. Always protect the QB, no matter what! WILL YOU PROTECT THIS HOUSE?!?), he is still one of the NFL’s good guys who continues to help the fight for rights of retired players’ and their well being. He is also contributing to research and development of studies for concussions to further help the future of the NFL and football players everywhere. I had no business speaking to such a great person. I’m lower than low. I’m somewhere between the white stuff that accumulates at the side of your mouth when you are thirsty and dirty bath water.
Audio after the jump!
Kyle and I talked for about 25 minutes on the phone. I had him on speaker phone and recorded him with an Olympus Voice Recorder so don’t fault me if the audio is horrible. This was my first interview with anyone important, ever. Well, I mean over the phone. I interviewed Christmas Ape via E-Mail. Plus, I was horribly nervous and I conducted the interview pulled over on the side of the highway in my car because of my silly schedule with “real life”. After knowing all of that, maybe you’ll cut me some slack in the comments section.
