From First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Hot Ones.
0:13
It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings.
0:16
And in the lead-up to Super Bowl 52 this weekend, I'm joined by Von Miller.
0:19
He's a six-time Pro Bowl linebacker for the Denver Broncos, a Super Bowl champion, and a big game MVP.
0:25
But how will he fare in the hot sauce terrordome? Find out today.
0:27
Von, welcome to the show. Yes, sir. Happy to be here.
0:31
How are you with hot food? I like hot food.
0:32
I'm from I'm from Texas, Dallas, Texas, so you know, I'm pretty familiar.
0:36
You ready to get it going? Yeah, I'm ready.
0:52
All right, so this first one should be a free throw for you. Easy.
1:03
So it's not every day that we have a real actual chicken farmer on Hot Ones.
1:07
So I'm going to start by taking it back to Desoto, Texas, where you keep your 60-plus chickens.
1:10
Was poultry sciences always your calling or just a way to pass while you racked up wins for the Aggies?
1:17
Yeah, um it started with taking an easy class, you know, in college and as time built up cuz like man, I like this.
1:22
I'm This is a billion-dollar industry.
1:24
I you know, I like raising chickens, you know.
1:28
I guess it was destined for me.
1:29
Do you ever have any problems with like predators or anything like that?
1:31
Yeah, we had a big owl problem.
1:31
Owl got us for like I don't know, 10 birds.
1:35
And um we had we got like a net over the top.
1:37
Just coming straight through the net.
1:40
Boom, straight through the net every time.
1:41
We go out one morning and there'd be a hole. We would fix that hole.
1:44
Two days later, there'd be another hole.
1:45
Three days after that, it's five or six holes up top.
1:48
So he just The owl was just like, "Forget it."
1:51
I got I got to get in there and Hey, you just ruin it.
1:53
But um yeah, it's it's it's been good um besides that, though.
1:57
Do you still dream of having a chicken TV show where you have celebrities do voices for the chickens, and if so, who are the actors at the top of your list? Yeah.
2:05
How you know about the chicken cartoon? Yeah.
2:07
Remember how Babe, the pig was?
2:09
How you have like, you know, the pig is talking, and you got the ducks and stuff.
2:13
I would like to have that same concept, just around a a rooster. It would be dope. And this is Louisiana? Mhm. Yeah. Classic. Mhm.
2:25
So, with Super Bowl 52 on NBC just around the corner, I think it's a good time to take it back to that fateful day 2 years ago where you racked up your own Super Bowl win and then MVP to boot.
2:35
Who's the first person that you called after the win?
2:37
I already called anybody. My phone went crazy.
2:39
I still have messages on my phone that I haven't read from Super Bowl 2 years ago.
2:43
My mom, she was already there. My dad was there.
2:45
And my my brother was there.
2:46
I really didn't talk to anybody for like for like 2 days.
2:50
What, if anything, do you remember about celebrating Lil Wayne?
2:53
It's um That night Y'all really Y'all really did your information, huh?
2:58
Y'all really did your your homework.
2:58
Um Lil Wayne was hosting a party.
3:00
We won, so we was like, "Catch me at the club." It was fun, though. It was dope.
3:05
Do you think that you killed the dab?
3:06
You know, a couple of guys bring it back, but, you know, it was just big at that moment.
3:10
And, you know, when you see guys like dab and then doing all that stuff, you It's just natural to be like, "Man, you know, I don't want to see that no more."
3:16
And especially with Cam, he dabs after every, you know, single play.
3:19
And he had been killing everybody all season.
3:21
So, I guess it was a little motivation for us to you know, stop that that that game. Man, I'm doing good. But, I'm good.
3:33
And I know that you've described yourself as the ultimate geek.
3:34
You mean you spend a lot of time going down internet rabbit holes and watching science documentaries.
3:39
Do you think that time travel is possible? I think it is.
3:45
If you can speed up time, why can't you slow it down?
3:47
You travel at the speed of light for almost a year out of space.
3:50
When you come back, the earth would have aged, you know, 10 years, while you would just age 1 year.
3:56
I mean, I mean, these questions are way bigger and way over my head, but I'm I'm sure it's possible.
3:59
If you can speed it up, um why can't you reverse it or slow it down?
4:04
Do you think that in our lifetime we'll see a human colony on Mars?
4:07
You know, I'm going to say it by 2020, right?
4:08
I mean, I I mean, I believe them.
4:11
If you could take one extinct animal, bring them back, and make them an NFL mascot, which one would you choose and why?
4:18
The Haast eagle, h a a s s.
4:18
It was one of the biggest birds to ever roam the earth.
4:23
Legendary used to snatch humans in New Zealand.
4:26
You know, the Eagles going to the Super Bowl, so why not have the Haast eagle?
4:29
That's That's 30 times bigger than that one.
4:32
And then, is there any part of you that fears that advancements in artificial intelligence may lead to some sort of post-apocalyptic world where the human race is just where the human race is just ruled by cyborgs and robots? Oh, so like The Matrix? Yeah.
4:50
Yeah, I mean, it it could I mean, it's possible.
4:52
I mean, Sophia, I mean, that's crazy.
4:54
Some of the stuff that they're doing and some of the jobs that they have automated and stuff.
4:57
Every single year it seems to be, you know, new advancements when it comes to AI.
5:00
I think it's it I mean, it's scary to think about, but it's I mean, it's definitely possible. Yeah.
5:11
These are some big wings, too. Turkey leg, turkey wing. Oh, for real.
5:16
At First We Feast, we care way too much about what our guests eat, and I know a lot's changed for you since you're eating Chick-fil-A daily.
5:21
Why do you tell young players that a personal chef is a better investment than jewelry and nice cars?
5:28
I'm going to just try to give them information.
5:29
I just try to suggest things that I wish I would have done when I was working.
5:33
I wish I would have had a chef that cooked for me breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the season and the off season, because that's how you get ahead.
5:38
That's how you play 15, 16 years, staying healthy, and and eating right.
5:42
We got to find out what time Brady is eating, and I need I need to get some rest, though.
5:47
And then, too, because you know, the personal chef or the celebrity chef wave, it's really built over the last couple of years.
5:51
And some of these guys even have their own certain notoriety, if you think about Rick Ross's chef or Floyd Mayweather's chef.
5:56
Have you ever had somebody's personal chef make you a dish that made you just want to poach their chef?
6:03
I'm just a loyal guy, man.
6:03
If I go to somebody house and they have a great chef, and the food was great, and I go back to my chef and tell them what they had and how they did it.
6:09
So, I'm just I'm just a loyal guy, man.
6:11
The guys that I got them, I'm going to ride with them. Ghost pepper? Mhm. Was that five? That's five. Uh It's good, though. All right, Von.
6:28
So, we have a recurring segment on our show called Explain That Gram.
6:30
We do a deep dive on our guest's Instagram, pull interesting pictures that need more context.
6:34
I'll just show you the picture, and then you tell me the bigger story. Does that sound good? Okay. All right. Laptop, please. What's that? A Sony FS7? Right there. Two? Three? Four?
6:49
You're into the equipment here. Yeah.
6:51
When it comes to like Instagram, you know, you can use that platform You can use that platform in all type of ways, and I like to use mine and create like little commercials and stuff.
6:59
It's It's free, and I can always, you know, support myself on Instagram. Yeah. Look at this. All right. First things first.
7:07
Yeah, Saturday Night Live A week after we had won the Super Bowl.
7:12
You heard about uh Kanye West uh sat Saturday Night Live uh All right.
7:17
There was like a whole thing about was that. That was that day.
7:21
Did you catch any of that drama?
7:22
No, I I didn't I didn't catch none of it, but the backstage assistant, she caught a lot of it.
7:25
When I first went there, about about uh 3 hours before the show started, um her hair was like nice and makeup was nice, and she was bringing stuff in, all cheerful.
7:33
And she was uh doing stuff for all the guys backstage.
7:38
Um by the end of the night, her hair It like, you know, messed up.
7:40
You know, she had been sweating. I was going on?
7:42
She was like, you don't even want to know. It's crazy back here.
7:47
And then didn't you get your stuff and 50 signed by Kanye that night or how and that's like a weird story too, right?
7:53
that's a weird story too. I got Kanye.
7:53
I really don't even ask for autographs or take pictures or anything like that.
7:58
But, you know, Kanye at Saturday Night Live and I had an extra pair of Yeezys, too. I had to.
8:03
I had the shoe in my hand, but I'm I'm rushing.
8:06
I I really didn't even think about getting a Sharpie.
8:09
You know, and I hate when people bring me stuff to sign. And they're not ready.
8:11
I hate when people ask for pictures.
8:14
And they're like messing around with the I hate when they ask picture and they're like, okay, let me get my picture. And they get it.
8:18
And they're like, hold on.
8:20
Hold on with hold on 1 second. Hold on.
8:22
Then they like take it and you can see them like, you know, shaking or whatever.
8:26
You can see them shaking. They take the picture. Oh, that was blurry. Hold on.
8:30
And that's the same that's the exact same thing that I did, you know, to Kanye. I found him.
8:33
And he didn't really want to do it.
8:34
I was like, can you sign my Yeezy? And he put his hand out.
8:35
He was like, yeah, sign it. And I gave him a shoe.
8:38
And I was like, do you have a Sharpie?
8:43
And he looked at me like, man, then you know, cameras right here.
8:45
I looked at the cameras like, do you have a Sharpie?
8:49
And she got a she got a loud as hell, but I was like, man, I am tripping right now.
8:52
So, I had to like run and get a Sharpie and I hurried up and ran back and he like signed it for me. It was cool.
8:58
I wish I would have hit that.
8:58
Denver Nuggets, I'm always there. Rocky, that's my guy.
9:01
Well, he kind of caught me off guard on this one.
9:03
He was sitting, you know, on the bench regularly, you know, there at the Pepsi Center.
9:06
First of all, mascots aren't even supposed to talk.
9:10
And he came to me on the sidelines and he was like, hey, come shoot this shot.
9:13
I was like, what's going on?
9:13
Like, you know, what's going on?
9:15
I didn't know I was going to shoot a shot today.
9:15
And he's like, come shoot the shot half court.
9:18
I got ready to shoot the shot half court.
9:20
He's like, no, no, turn around. Throw it over. I was like, what? He's a showman, Rocky.
9:24
Yeah, I I didn't hit it, though, but it I got close. I got close.
9:27
Is that famous strip sack? Yeah, the strip sack. Do you have a favorite?
9:29
The first one or the second one?
9:32
My favorite play actually is when on the sideline, Cam Newton tried to he was he had tried to run me over like the last minute and we kind of like stalled out.
9:40
I think it was that was probably like in the second quarter as well.
9:42
So it was it was right at the beginning of the game.
9:45
Whenever you going to get some elite quarterbacks, it's going to come a time where they going to try somebody on the defense cuz I've seen Cam run over truck 50 million guys and I was down field in coverage and I had turned around and I and I saw him last minute he had like a a 10-yard running start.
9:59
So to to get that stall out was was big for me.
10:02
That was the biggest play of the game in my opinion.
10:06
I just got a dog with shades and a backpack. It's a little hot. Mhm.
10:11
So I've heard you talk in the past about how you had a hard time fitting into the Broncos locker room when you first got there.
10:16
It's obviously changed a lot since.
10:18
What's your best piece of advice to rookies on how to win over veterans?
10:22
Oh, rookies pay attention.
10:25
Every guy that makes it to the National Football League has been the man at some point.
10:28
To win over vets, you got to play good.
10:30
You could be the weirdest rookie ever.
10:31
You ball out, you make plays right away.
10:35
And everything else will follow along.
10:36
What's the most clever rookie prank that you've ever seen?
10:40
In Minnesota actually they had bought boxes of fruit snacks and they filled up one of the rookies Range Rover with fruit snacks.
10:47
I thought that I thought that was clever.
10:48
For me I really don't like playing pranks on the rookies, you know, cuz I'm trying to earn over your trust and then I then I prank you.
10:52
You know, it's it's just not you know, it's not the the easiest way to make friends in the locker room. Can you smell that one?
11:09
So now that you have the Super Bowl 50 logo tattooed on you, I know that you have Chip tattooed on your shoulder.
11:13
Do you know how many tattoos you have?
11:15
Have you lost count at this point?
11:17
My hands and my neck and my face that's my mom said that's that was the places that you can't get tattooed but everything else pretty much.
11:23
What's the last one you got?
11:24

11:34
Yeah, it's a it's a [ __ ] below my knee.
11:36
I win a couple of I win a lot of bets with that tattoo.
11:42
And then you once tweeted about a tattoo, it's a watermelon slice, a chicken leg, a dollar sign, and a hater. Yeah. What does that mean? What was that tattoo of?
11:51
Oh man, it was just a long night at the tattoo shop.
11:53
You know, you know, 4:00 in the morning come around, the tattoo shop is still open, you just start getting stuff.
11:57
But, you know, it was just I really like the Pac-Man theme and it's got like uh a piece of watermelon, um chicken, and like the ghost is like a hater.
12:05
So, it's just something that I just Yeah. So, you're eating?

12:41
I hope you don't have no cuts in your mouth or nothing, you know what I'm saying? It's going to hurt.
12:48
Got to make sure you wash your hands after you do stuff, too, cuz if you touch your eyes after you do this, it's over.
12:53
A lot of things you got to watch out about touching that cuz this can I've been there. Yeah.
13:02
So, during the 2017 off season, you took a trip to Europe where as I understand it, you did a couple dozen stops on Drake's Boy Meets World Tour.
13:09
What Drake song rings off hardest live to you?
13:15
Yeah, I'm still trying to get my tongue back.
13:22
Yeah, but I don't know if you use nine um turn it up turn the six upside down, it's a now.
13:27
When you hear it when you hear like live and you know, the blue lights and all types of stuff is crazy.
13:34
And then I understand that you're a joint on the Euro trip with Odell Beckham Jr.
13:36
What's his best quality as a travel partner and what's his most annoying habit?
13:41
A lot of pranks, a lot of jokes.
13:41
I guess you get you know, you get tired of that after a while.
13:47
Um he genuinely has a unique outlook on life.

14:49
So, sport style has become a genre all its own and in recent years the eyeglasses have really exploded in the zeitgeist.
14:56
I know that you need yours, but a lot of these guys now are busting out the glasses whether they have a prescription or not.
15:01
So, what I want to do is show you some of the looks that have bubbled up over the last couple years.
15:07
I know that you're all about the positivity.
15:08
I don't expect you to play fashion police, but I am curious, you know, the looks that you like, the ones that you maybe leave to your friends, and then maybe we can crown a king. Does that sound good? Perfect. All right. Laptop, please. Ooh.

Westbrook is the king, and then the king after that, the quarterbacks after those guys. All right. All right, Von. This is the last dab.

18:34
You've called Tom Brady the best quarterback you've ever faced, Gronk the best tight end you've ever matched up against, and Bill Belichick the best coach.
18:41
Are the Patriots destined for their sixth Super Bowl win, or do you see an upset on Sunday?
