00:00Speaking of hyperbole, Ben Affleck talking about the greatest day of his life or one of the greatest days of his life.
00:07He, of course, acknowledges the birth of his children.
00:09Every parent does that, but not as as early as marriage.
00:13But after that, the greatest day has to do with his now good friend, Tom Brady.
00:20And I would imagine this was before they became good friends.
00:24This is pretty awesome.
00:25Listen to him describe it.
00:26He was on the New Heights podcast.
00:27The fact that he's talking to the Kelsey brothers might have influenced why he chose this story as the greatest day.
00:36What kind of routes are you running?
00:37I won't lie to you.
00:38I don't know if they have a name.
00:42I'm sure I disgraced every receiver that's ever run a route.
00:46To this day, aside from the birth of my children, that was the greatest day.
00:54It was amazing.
00:55I felt like a 10-year-old kid.
00:58He's like, okay, come here.
01:00And I get to him, and he's like, it's the Super Bowl.
01:03Fourth quarter.
01:04We have 23 seconds.
01:06It's fourth and 18.
01:07I was like, I'm going to start talking to him.
01:12He's like, you just run?
01:13I'm like wondering, when's this ball going to show up?
01:15And I look.
01:16I just feel like right out in front of me, and it was a little far for me.
01:20I think he was like, he probably adjusted back.
01:22And I reach out, and I have to go on to extend a catch.
01:30I mean, I want to hear Tom Brady's account of this catch, because he makes it seem like
01:38it was an amazing catch.
01:39But just to give a little context, so they were basically, they were both on vacation at
01:44the same spot, and a classic Tom Brady.
01:46He basically wanted to get working on the football field and knew Ben was there, so he called him
01:50and had him just come run routes for him, because he had no one else to catch for him.
01:55That's weird, that nobody else was there for, I mean, wow.
01:59Well, maybe there weren't any professional football players around, so he just took Ben
02:04F like I said.
02:04It's really pretty awesome.
02:05I actually think it's very cool.
02:07Very cool.
02:07It's amazing.
02:08I completely understand.
02:09I know it sounds like you go like, God, why are guys so impressed?
02:12That's really cool.
02:13That's very cool.
02:14That's amazing.
02:15Everybody has their Tom Brady.
02:17I mean.
02:18Would the kids be upset if he said it's even better than having the kids?
02:22I think he feels that way.
02:23Some of his kids would be like, no, we get it, Dad.
02:25But he snuck that in because he knew he was going to get in trouble.
