Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin sits down with Joy Taylor for an episode that goes way past football. Michael opens up about the time federal agents showed up at his own training camp because a scammer was using his identity to con women, a story he's kept quiet until now. From there, the two get into the "divine order," turning 40 without kids, why he calls his dogs better roommates than people, the spiritual mentorship of Bishop T.D. Jakes, his emotional exit from the NFL, and a full-throated defense of Jerry Jones' legacy. Michael also reflects on Jimmy Johnson, the current state of NIL, and why he refuses to let anyone else's opinion override his own experience.
