Jermain talks about how he wanted to have control of the final decision to call it a day and not have it forced on him by injury, about what it's like to wake up as a retired player, and what happens when the cheering stops. And Troy wonders what it will be like when his time comes and how he'll feel.

And they get into the weeds about why they need football so much, and how they reflect on their respective careers.
