You are listening to the Krebscast. How you doing everyone? We are sponsored by Jolly Goodsoda

0:05.5

and I am your host, Charlie Barons. This week, I've got my good, good buddy, LaRoy Butler coming

0:11.6

back on the show. It's been a huge week for him because he got the news that he'll be inducted

0:17.6

into the pro football hall fame and Canton this summer. Only a very small percentage of NFL

0:23.6

athletes ever make it to the hall of fame. And so it's a huge honor for him. It's an honor for me

0:29.6

to talk to him after the fact to be quite honest with you. It's just been a crazy journey for

0:36.4

LaRoy. He grew up in the housing projects of Jacksonville, Florida. He was met with a lot of

0:43.7

economic adversity, racial adversity. And not only that, he was also born with a physical

0:48.6

disability that left him in leg braces for much of his childhood. So to go from that to literally

0:56.4

going from leg braces to being the guy who invented the Lambo leap. And now he's going to be in

there. He was on the show one time before. And since then, we've just we've become friends. We've

1:26.9

collaborated on a fishing video. He and my dad and myself, we went out and did some fishing on

1:33.9

Lake Winnebago. And then we did another leap video all about how we invented the Lambo leap.

1:41.6

A couple of weeks back. And he's just been so nice. When I was promoting my book, he was pushing

1:45.6

it out there. He did an excerpt in the book in the Midwest Survival Guide for one of his recipes.

1:54.8

And by the way, LaRoy's got a bunch of cooking books out there too. You should check those out.

2:00.0

And what I really like about LaRoy is that like even when he was a player, he would pop into

2:05.2

churches with Reggie White and just sit down and he wouldn't tell anyone. But he would just pop

2:12.3

any would go shopping at the pick and save. He would meet people and he still does it. He still
