A Gift from Jimmy Johnson: Big Seth’s Big Adventures

In the inaugural installment of Big Seth’s Big Adventures, Seth Levit dives deep into a moment he thought was his own personal Super Bowl victory—a rare gift from Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy Johnson. But as Seth proudly shows off, he quickly realizes he may not be as “one of one” as he thought. Join Seth and O.J. McDuffie for this bite-sized, behind-the-scenes tale from Seth’s early days in Davie—where the humility came free of charge.

00:00.726 --> 00:03.047
[SPEAKER_02]: you're now diving into the fish tank.

00:25.920 --> 00:27.221
[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, fish tank fam?

00:27.601 --> 00:29.562
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, it's your boy, OG McDowthey here.

00:29.602 --> 00:34.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you are diving into the fish tank brought to you by fan horn law group and cast a bell of design group.

00:35.205 --> 00:40.168
[SPEAKER_01]: As you know, we are now in phase four of the fish tank and with that, we're going to mix things up a little bit.

00:40.288 --> 00:47.752
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is our first micro episode and is a new series within a series that I'm going to call bigsaf's big adventures.

00:48.607 --> 00:59.434
[SPEAKER_01]: My man said, always does a great job of, you know, sprinkling in some stories from his own experiences when we have guests in the tank, but trust me on this one guy's trust me, he's been holding out in you guys.

00:59.795 --> 01:03.377
[SPEAKER_01]: So Seth and I felt like phase four is a perfect time to start rolling out.

01:03.557 --> 01:08.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody's stories he has from, you know, his days back in the dolphins, some of those experiences.

01:08.461 --> 01:11.583
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll be dropping these periodically, yes, periodically.

01:12.003 --> 01:14.065
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a big word, like man is, yes.

01:14.425 --> 01:17.327
[SPEAKER_01]: We will post these micro episodes periodically

01:17.707 --> 01:19.788
[SPEAKER_01]: to keep things fun and fresh.

01:20.228 --> 01:20.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So here we go.

01:21.388 --> 01:25.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Enjoy the first ever edition of Big Sess Big Adventures.

01:26.050 --> 01:39.095
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Jews, have I ever told you about the time that, and I know he's not one of your favorite people, but that Jimmy Johnson, I'm sorry, but did I ever tell you about the time that Jimmy Johnson gave me a gift?

01:40.836 --> 01:42.176
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, we're winning.

01:43.456 --> 01:44.717
[SPEAKER_01]: This is good one.

01:45.197 --> 01:47.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Jimmy Johnson was a giving person.

01:48.682 --> 01:54.166
[SPEAKER_00]: He gave me a gift and, you know, we're talking, I want to say, ninety seven, ninety eight, right?

01:54.186 --> 01:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: I came in, ninety six as did Jimmy, ninety seven got hired full time.

01:58.970 --> 02:02.432
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was ninety seven and ninety eight, like my first or second year full time.

02:03.253 --> 02:06.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not talk to Jimmy and less spoken to, right?

02:06.555 --> 02:07.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Children should not speak, right?

02:07.856 --> 02:08.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's smoke and do.

02:08.977 --> 02:15.702
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I took that mentality and also, if you remember, well, you probably didn't come upstairs a lot, but the way the second one, I tried to.

02:15.722 --> 02:15.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

02:17.683 --> 02:25.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Upstairs, the head coach had the big old center office center of the building, you know, big, beautiful office.

02:25.928 --> 02:31.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had to always visit coaches offices, but I'd never cut through the back way.

02:31.451 --> 02:34.333
[SPEAKER_00]: I just was like, I am staying out of Jimmy Johnson's way.

02:34.693 --> 02:37.995
[SPEAKER_00]: If I don't need to be there, why am I cutting through that man's yard?

02:38.295 --> 02:39.196
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just not gonna do it.

02:39.236 --> 02:42.497
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would walk around the front, you know, I have to go through the double doors.

02:42.657 --> 02:44.018
[SPEAKER_00]: I would always take that route.

02:44.198 --> 02:46.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Harvey could just walk by aging, you know, not,

02:47.241 --> 02:51.457
[SPEAKER_00]: the way I was going to go, but I was going down the hallway one day and

02:52.982 --> 03:17.825
[SPEAKER_00]: here comes coach and he comes walking around the corner and he's like hey hey Seth and you know scared shit out of me quite honestly because they didn't talk to me often when he did you know you better get in line and hey Seth hey career I was like come with you because yeah come with me and he just turns around and he starts like fast track and it back towards his office and so like I'm awesome he's like come on he keeps looking back like over his shoulder to make sure I'm following me's like come on and I'm

03:19.581 --> 03:20.701
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, I'm gonna go, right?

03:20.761 --> 03:23.823
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, head coach says, let's go, you go.

03:23.843 --> 03:27.964
[SPEAKER_00]: And so then I walk into his office and I'm like, is it like what the hell did I do?

03:28.585 --> 03:29.885
[SPEAKER_00]: But he was in good spirits.

03:30.265 --> 03:35.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he goes back and he kind of reaches underneath his desk and he pulls out this box.

03:35.328 --> 03:39.929
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's this beautiful kind of ornate wooden crafted box.

03:39.969 --> 03:40.790
[SPEAKER_00]: It was green.

03:41.170 --> 03:43.971
[SPEAKER_00]: But it almost had like a marble finish and it was just beautiful.

03:44.011 --> 03:45.632
[SPEAKER_00]: And he goes to like a Rolex box.

03:46.449 --> 03:47.230
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know.

03:47.310 --> 03:48.911
[SPEAKER_00]: You would have to tell me about that.

03:48.991 --> 03:53.074
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not familiar with what a Rolex box looks like.

03:53.134 --> 03:58.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I only see them shiny in those jewelry stores that I got to keep walking by because they don't have price tags.

03:58.438 --> 04:01.980
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, if you got to ask the price, you can't afford it.

04:02.000 --> 04:04.642
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, he hands me this green box.

04:04.722 --> 04:05.343
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like,

04:06.604 --> 04:21.299
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you where would you like it to go like I thought he was gonna and he goes it's for you I go for me and he goes yeah and I go what is he goes open it and I go culture because it's a gift it's for you and so just imagine I barely speak to Jimmy and now he's given me this gift

04:22.601 --> 04:39.438
[SPEAKER_00]: and so I open the box and inside of the box is a watch and it's not just any watch it's a Miami Dolphins watch but it's not like some can't be thing that you get on I don't know it's like it's a really beautiful it's silver it's got the metal band

04:39.998 --> 04:48.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's kind of like a diver's watch and the dial turns, but the dial's like a nice aqua and there's just the old school dolphins logo in the center of this thing.

04:48.566 --> 04:51.549
[SPEAKER_00]: And I go, coach, this is like, this is, are you sure?

04:51.569 --> 04:51.849
[SPEAKER_00]: It's for me.

04:51.889 --> 04:52.730
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, am I sure?

04:53.010 --> 04:55.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm Jimmy fucking Johnson.

04:55.612 --> 04:56.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I'm sure.

04:56.393 --> 04:58.015
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, the watch is for you.

04:58.075 --> 04:59.576
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, coach, this is, thank you.

04:59.616 --> 05:01.838
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I was kind of blown away.

05:02.519 --> 05:04.360
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he goes take it and enjoy it.

05:04.581 --> 05:05.522
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you do a great job.

05:06.102 --> 05:13.170
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I walk out and I'm holding this thing and I'm just I'm kind of shook man like I I don't know what I did to deserve it

05:14.040 --> 05:21.624
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also feel pretty damn special like Jimmy Freagan Johnson just gave me this watch and so I go over I gotta show it to somebody, right?

05:22.025 --> 05:25.507
[SPEAKER_00]: So I walk towards Sean Todd's office DJ preach.

05:25.847 --> 05:31.250
[SPEAKER_00]: So I go to see Sean I'm like, yo, you are not gonna believe this and he goes, what's up?

05:31.290 --> 05:35.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I go, look at this watch and he goes, you got one, two and I go,

05:37.373 --> 05:41.497
[SPEAKER_00]: And he goes and he kind of reaches back on his desk and he's got the same damn green box.

05:41.897 --> 05:46.401
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got a watch and so like we were watch brothers, right?

05:46.421 --> 05:47.583
[SPEAKER_00]: We got matching watches.

05:47.603 --> 05:50.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like damn man, how cool is that?

05:50.145 --> 05:52.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Jimmy appreciates the little people here.

05:53.868 --> 06:07.699
[SPEAKER_00]: We're working hard, maybe he likes what the work we're doing on the road, because Sean and I used to always hang out the road and make sure that second set of buses gets off our time and all that, you know, it's just a token of appreciation for the guys who don't get recognized enough, right?

06:08.179 --> 06:10.161
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're feeling really good about ourselves.

06:10.961 --> 06:15.985
[SPEAKER_00]: And then later on that day, I'm downstairs, cut through the player's lounge, maybe grabbing something.

06:16.005 --> 06:17.366
[SPEAKER_01]: You better stop, right?

06:19.768 --> 06:21.910
[SPEAKER_00]: We weren't the only ones who got to watch this.

06:23.046 --> 06:24.247
[SPEAKER_00]: We weren't the only ones.

06:25.128 --> 06:25.708
[SPEAKER_00]: So who?

06:25.948 --> 06:26.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Love a hold.

06:26.949 --> 06:30.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's grabbing a cup of coffee in the player's lounge?

06:32.054 --> 06:33.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Not Jimmy Johnson.

06:33.134 --> 06:34.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it was Jimmy Johnson.

06:34.776 --> 06:36.237
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Jimmy Carwash.

06:36.517 --> 06:36.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.

06:36.998 --> 06:38.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Jimmy Carwash is in there.

06:38.779 --> 06:40.401
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's got this big ass watch.

06:40.441 --> 06:41.642
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Jimmy was a little dude.

06:41.962 --> 06:45.465
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like hanging off of his wrist to barely keep it on.

06:46.085 --> 06:47.446
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, damn.

06:48.486 --> 06:50.188
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, hey, Jimmy's like, hey, what I'm saying?

06:50.428 --> 06:52.570
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, nice watch you got there, man.

06:52.610 --> 06:54.132
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, hey, he's like, hey, what I'm saying?

06:54.192 --> 06:56.974
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, nice watch you got there, man.

06:56.994 --> 07:12.570
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, hey, he's like, hey, he's like, hey, he's like, hey, he's like, hey, he's like, hey, he's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

07:13.424 --> 07:16.465
[SPEAKER_00]: and Jimmy Car Wash got a watch from Jimmy Johnson.

07:16.505 --> 07:17.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, was it waterproof?

07:17.605 --> 07:20.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you know, Jimmy was a lot of cars every day, bro.

07:20.546 --> 07:22.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope it was waterproof, big dog.

07:22.807 --> 07:25.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:25.587 --> 07:26.568
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, man?

07:27.008 --> 07:32.129
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, if it was only you three, there were a lot of people that had office big sets, so that's still big time.

07:32.709 --> 07:34.470
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's funny that you say that.

07:36.635 --> 07:40.099
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I thought it was only three of us, and that was fun.

07:40.960 --> 07:44.605
[SPEAKER_00]: And probably a month later, I'm out at practice.

07:45.165 --> 07:46.206
[SPEAKER_00]: And we had a new coach.

07:46.226 --> 07:48.729
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a new kicking coach that had joined the team.

07:49.820 --> 07:51.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you remember Doug Blavins?

07:51.380 --> 07:52.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.

07:53.021 --> 07:55.662
[SPEAKER_00]: So Coach Blavins was the kicking coach expert.

07:56.162 --> 08:01.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Coach was also the first wheelchair-bound assistant coach in NFL history.

08:02.644 --> 08:06.445
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a condition that, you know, he was confined to a wheelchair.

08:07.065 --> 08:10.566
[SPEAKER_00]: And he came in in the United States seven and he was there for a few years.

08:10.866 --> 08:12.867
[SPEAKER_00]: And Doug Blavins may he rest in peace.

08:13.267 --> 08:17.548
[SPEAKER_00]: He also got the Jimmy Johnson watch in the Green Box.

08:18.707 --> 08:20.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm telling you what, man.

08:20.489 --> 08:22.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Rare, heir, my friend.

08:22.312 --> 08:23.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Rare, heir.

08:23.633 --> 08:26.417
[SPEAKER_01]: I know for sure that I did not get one big set.

08:27.957 --> 08:29.678
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to say it is.

08:30.538 --> 08:32.799
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's still a thousand for you, Big Seth.

08:33.099 --> 08:35.300
[SPEAKER_01]: It was only only four that we know about.

08:35.600 --> 08:37.780
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll leave it right there with just the four that we know.

08:37.800 --> 08:39.201
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even want to know who else.

08:39.261 --> 08:40.842
[SPEAKER_00]: If somebody else got one.

08:41.882 --> 08:42.802
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to find out.

08:42.882 --> 08:44.323
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to find out, Big Seth.

08:44.503 --> 08:45.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we certainly will.

08:47.164 --> 08:48.744
[SPEAKER_01]: You're now diving into the fish.

08:58.312 --> 08:59.452
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna pin that piece of tape.

08:59.532 --> 09:01.633
[SPEAKER_02]: Put that.

09:03.574 --> 09:05.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Fitting down with saffole, it's out.

09:05.274 --> 09:05.814
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Jay.

09:05.854 --> 09:06.874
[SPEAKER_03]: Two, two, three.

09:06.994 --> 09:07.595
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

09:07.895 --> 09:10.255
[SPEAKER_03]: This is strictly for them to be dope hands.

09:10.576 --> 09:11.376
[SPEAKER_03]: Number one, one.

09:11.416 --> 09:12.176
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, y'all.

09:12.376 --> 09:14.177
[SPEAKER_03]: This ain't hard, and there is one star.

09:14.277 --> 09:15.457
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna be that piece of tape.

09:17.216 --> 09:18.157
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, fish tank family.

[SPEAKER_01]: Let's keep it real.

09:19.738 --> 09:23.802
[SPEAKER_01]: That can hit hard, and it doesn't care who you are, but you don't have to face the loan.

09:24.323 --> 09:27.526
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen people struggle, and I've seen what a second chance can do.

09:27.826 --> 09:33.231
[SPEAKER_00]: That's facts, Jews, and when it comes to getting folks out from under it, nobody does it better than Van Horn-Logrew.

09:33.712 --> 09:35.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Chad and his team don't just talk the talk.

09:36.154 --> 09:38.897
[SPEAKER_00]: They show up and fight for people when they meet at most.

09:39.157 --> 09:41.158
[SPEAKER_01]: I've known Chad Van Horne for over a decade.
