You probably know Ed McAffrey, all-American at Stanford, three-time Super Bowl winner, and he is all that big. We're going to go through and talk through all the things that he's doing with McAffrey Brands. Ed's going to tell us why his mustard is the best mustard in the world, and I can actually agree with that. We're going to talk about and find out how many bones John Elway may have broken in Ed's hands, and we're also going to find out what his favorite route was in football. Ladies and gentlemen, I present all American human being, Mr. Ed McCaffrey.

This is Mick Unplugged. Let us uncover the because that thing that drives you. That thing that fuels you. I'm ready if you are. Let's go.

Ed, how you doing today, brother? I am doing great. Thank you, Mick, for that very kind introduction. And congrats to Stanley one. It was an honor to hear that he even knew who I was, but that he's up for the Hall of Fame is pretty cool. Hopefully, he'll get in in a few weeks.

Fingers crossed that he definitely gets in. Ed, you know, I I'm honored to have you on again. Been a huge fan of you all of my life. Even though as a Patriot guy, you know, the Broncos were always our nemesis. So, you guys always beat us. You know, Shannon Sharp has this famous little scene where he's calling the National Guard because the Patriots are horrible. But always been a fan of you and and more importantly not what you did on the field but what you've always done off the field and not just post career but even during your career you were very involved in communities.

You were always a giver and that's something that I admired and it stuck with me. So I just want to give you your flowers and say kudos to you for being that all American human being that you are brother.

Well thank you. I appreciate it. You know, if you look back at that video, I was sitting right next to Shannon when he was calling in the National Guard. It's pretty hilarious. We were I think it was Rod and I were looking at him and wondering what the heck he was doing, but he was having fun. Um, and he's still having fun. But, uh, yeah, we we used to have the the best of that matchup when I was playing. Certainly, the tides turned there for a while. And now both the Broncos and the Patriots are looking good. Who who knows? They may face each other in a championship game at this point, but

as long as it's in as long as it's in Foxboro, though, because we do not win in Mile High Stadium.

Yeah, I don't want to fly to Foxboro. So, I'm hoping it's here right here in in Denver, Colorado. But, um, but also, you know, regarding, you know, philanthropy and giving back, you know, I've always just believed it's important to use your platform to make the world a better place and however you can do that. And for me, you know, it was, you know, through our foundations and through running football camps, whether it be, you know, for 10 years, we did one for um young athletes with Down syndrome. we've done stuff for um kids from military families and you know now my son Christian is very involved with his um foundation and he supports the military as well and um has a um a project called the Logan project where they're putting in video consoles in the children's hospitals all over the country and a lot of other NFL players are participating with him and doing that in their NFL cities. Um, and it it

just it's it's so cool to be able to be in a position uh to give back in that way. And so I know you do as well. And so many so many NFL players do so much um good in the community. And sometimes you hear about it, sometimes you don't. You don't really do it to

to have people hear about it, but it it certainly it feels fulfilling to me and to Lisa and to our and our boys who feel that it's important to give back. So thanks thanks for acknowledging that. And and I just want to say uh to anyone listening that, you know, if you really look into what all the players and a lot of the coaches and organizations are doing in in my neck of the woods, it's the Penner family. It's the Walton Penner group and all that they're doing. They're bringing alumni back. They're donating tons of money uh to schools. They did a thing where they they donated helmets to every single public school in Colorado so that the the football players are safer. And um you know it starts with the owners and the leadership of the the NFL teams, but it trickles down to the players and then you know those players on those teams feel the same sense of fulfillment when they're able to give back to their

communities wholeheartedly. And you know my my oldest son um coaches high school football at Air Academy out in Colorado Springs. And so, you know, when I told him that I was interviewing you and and I purposely didn't tell you this offline, he was like, "Just let Ed know that he inspires me to give and he's 25 years old and now he volunteers his time in the communities just because you're someone that's inspired him. So your reach, man, on the philanthropy on the philanthropy on the philanthropy part, but also, you know, a lot of people don't grasp just the time, energy, and effort that goes into that. I mean, you probably spend more time away from home than you do at home, but you're doing it from a giving perspective. And that's something that my son was able to see being out in Colorado, just like how how dynamic you are, not just in the Denver community, but across um the state of of Colorado.

And it expands into other states as well. I know in California you're doing a lot. And it's just something that I'm proud that my son sees that. And that's something that as a dad, as a father, you hope that those principles get instilled in your children, but you never know. But it takes people like you that they can see, oh, it's more than my dad that does these things. It's people like an Ed McCaffrey. It's people like a Robert Irvine who I need to introduce you to as well with his foundation. But you guys are providing spark for younger people that when I was growing up, I didn't see that, but now you provide it so that people see it. So, I needed to give you kudos for that, too.

Well, thank you. Yeah, I'm glad to be a part of it. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So, Ed, you know, I talk a lot about uh what I call my because it's that thing that's deeper than your why. It's if I were to ask you Ed, what's your why? You probably tell me all the cool things that you do. But if I said, but why, right? What's the deeper reason? I call that your because. So, if I were to ask you today like Ed McAffrey, what's your because why do you continue to have this passion and the purpose that you do in life with connecting and impacting others? Yeah, that's such a great question. I think people think about that all the time and sometimes maybe re-evaluate and potentially that cause could change. But, you know, I've I've always been part of a team. I love being part of a team. I love providing value to other people. Um, so in terms of our um businesses with Macaffrey Brands LLC, um you know, we're we're in

the business of making good food taste better. Everybody eats. Everybody, you know, food brings families together. food. Food brings people together. It's something that we all share. It's usually um a happy time um when you're able to celebrate with other people and sit down and break bread with them. And so, you know, it's a real simple simple uh goal. Help help make good food taste better. You know, when I was an athlete and my wife Lisa played soccer at Sanford, I played football. Um, we'd walk down to the market and grab a sandwich and it was, you know, a turkey sandwich on with lettuce, tomato, onion on a what, a Dutch crunch roll, if you know what that is. We'd go down to Molly Stone Market in California down the street from campus and I I'd have the same sandwich every single day. And after a while, you know, it gets kind of bland. I'm like, you know, I would put spicy brown mustard on it and to make it

a little more flavorful and taste a little bit better. And uh I was eating really healthy, you know, non-fat turkey burger and chicken and [snorts] really lean protein sources. And so it was a way to, you know, make my meal taste a little bit better, brighten up my day just a little bit. It's a little thing like we're not reinventing the wheel here. We're not some huge tech company. We're just trying to bring a little bit of joy into people's lives like it did for me when I was trying to eat really healthy. And so

um that's the goal. And then we we branched into healthy snacks this past year. And the goal of Macaffrey brands when it comes to our healthy snack category is just to make healthy food taste great because most healthy food especially uh packaged goods and snacks they don't taste all that good right you add protein to them and they get mediciney and chalky so it took us probably 5 years to finally um create a great tasting healthy snack and so we have what I consider to be pretty good flavors and chocolate chip cookie dough fudge brownie and birthday cake but they taste great in my opinion now I'm biased right was when it came to taste testing our mustards and our horseradish sauces, it was me that got to do all the taste testing, which is the most fun part of it. So, we went out to various manufacturers and tasted hundreds of different iterations and flavor profiles until I came up with the

ones that I liked the best. And the mustard and horseradish sauces were created before my kids were born. Right? This was back in the 90s when I was still playing. But our healthy snacks, we found an incredible manufacturer that created a phenomenal product for us um recently. But my kids, you know, I have one coaching for the Dolphins, one playing for the 49ers, one playing for the Commanders. My son Dylan is helping me with the business now. He's an outdoorsman and they all eat really healthy and are athletes. And so, um, but they're for athletes. They're for anybody who wants to just eat a little bit healthier but doesn't want to, you know, you know, choke down a a stick of chalk while they're trying to eat healthy, right? And so, so, um, but, you know, I guess going back to your question, you know, being a former players, part of a team, being a coach who coached many teams, um, being the a

CEO of a small business requires the help of a lot of people. So, we have a website team. We have um a great ops team, an accounting department, we have a PR marketing team. So, there's about 20 of us all together that are working really hard to grow our business. And it it it's it's being part of a team together, right? It's working together to be part of something bigger than yourself to provide value to people.

Yeah. And that I guess I guess that gives me fulfillment. I love working with other people. I love being part of a team. I love trying to provide value to people um in this world. And we do it by, you know, through our food products company. Um there's lots of ways to do it. We run camps in the summer, which we still do with our family. Um just because we love football and uh my kids had such a great experience at camps growing up. We wanted to continue to give back what we knew about that sport. But I guess it all comes back to being part of a team and having some control and direction um in terms of where we are going with our business and with our team and being able to help others uh become better while I'm learning at the same time and you know getting the right people on the bus. So, we have a wonderful team and it's fun to work with the PE I'm lucky I'm blessed to be around a lot of

wonderful people who are great at what they do, you know, putting them on the right seats on the bus, making sure everyone um is using their skill set to the best of the ability, challenging them, right? And and helping bring out the best in them and they and they help bring out the best in me. So, uh you know, for a while there when I was retired, I've been retired multiple times. Um, you know, it gets lonely and and I I did some things on my own, but I found I just I just love working with other people, you know, and and and sharing in those successes and overcoming those adversities together.

Totally agree. And and the mentality that you have is spot on. You know, I I talk a lot and one of my my mentors, Carlster Crumpler, was coaching me last year. you know, he was like, you know, Mick, you talk about joy, you talk about happiness, but what about fulfillment? Shouldn't that be like what you measure? And it totally changed my outlook, not just on me as a human, like me individually, but also my teams. And so, we started focusing on what fulfills us, right? And a lot of that went to getting people in the right seats. Like, I I can admit I got it wrong. Putting people in the wrong seats, they're they're loyal.

they're gonna do the job, but that job might not have been fulfilling to them, right? It might not have been the fulfillment. So, I think you talking about that as a leader um is spot on, man. So, kudos to you for that. I want to go back to, you know, you starting Macaffrey Brands and what that really meant for you and and what was your true purpose of saying this was what you were going to do, but then putting the energy behind it because, you know, a lot of people have a bunch of great ideas and a lot of people start a bunch of projects and they never complete. Like what was your commitment to it?

Yeah. And well, in the beginning, I had a a business partner who I worked with in the 90s. I was still playing, man. We Broncos were still lining up against the Patriots. And um my business partner Tai had done other projects. He you know he did serial with Fluty Flakes. Maybe you've heard of those. And he did Yep.

he's worked with John Elway and worked with Josh Allen. Worked with all these players over the years. But back then it was Ed's Enzone O's. It's me jumping through a little Cheerio. It's kind of cool. But I you know I did it um partially to raise some money for our foundation at the time. Some of the proceeds um went to our foundation. We still donate some of our proceeds today to charitable endeavors. Um, which is a cool way to just raise raise some money for good causes. But we're a for-profit business now, but for for 20ome years, uh, we had Ed Zenzonos for a couple years, we had Eddie Mac and Cheese for a couple years, we had some other food products, but um, our mustard's the best in the world. It really is. And, uh, and you know, I I I didn't do a whole lot for the business. I was coaching, you know, after I was done playing, I was coaching. Right.

I I worked for some other companies in some other industries and I never uh really even attempted to grow the business. My business partner kind of ran it and we had just this phenomenal product that sold even long after my retirement. It's the longest running food product that that my business partner has um had in his pipeline. And um it's because the product's phenomenal. It's not just the fact that there were a lot of Broncos fans that bought a collectible. It was that, you know, maybe in the beginning that was the case, but over time like this is a really incredible premium product. It tastes really good. Today I'm known either as Christian or Luke's dad, right? Or the mustard guy.

The mustard guy. We sell mustard. And um you know, so you know, Tai had worked with Newman's Own and we kind of took that fun approach of putting the picture, my picture on the label, and we had fun with it. But um after I was done coaching um I had to make a really tough decision on whether I wanted to grow the business or whether I wanted to uh let it ride. And you know I decided you know after working with Tai and restructuring our company and hiring Tai back uh to work with me uh that we we really had some potential here and there was a great opportunity.

I I loved that people loved our product and I thought you know what we could we could do more with this. people really love our product and we can create other products that people will love that um and we're in a good position to do it. It starts with having great suppliers, having great manufacturers, having people um great distributors. Um but we had to grow a team. It wasn't going to happen just with me and Tai

working out of our house. So we really, you know, I really decided to invest in the growth of our company. And whenever when you're an entrepreneur, it's always a risk, right? You have to you have to invest and you have but but to invest for me at least I have to believe in what we're doing and I believe in who who we can bring together to help grow our company. And so I knew I had a rock star in Thai um but we decided to uh increase our reach from just brickandmortar to online sales. So, um, but but it all started with just having a phenomenal product and me seeing this as an incredible opportunity to work with other people to create more phenomenal products to bring value to people by making their food taste better. Um, and so we, you know, created a website, brought on a PR team, brought in an official accountant, hired a couple of other people to work with us, uh, signed agreements with major

distributors and other major retailers. And, uh, but it did take a huge investment and a belief in what we were doing. And I brought people into our company that believed in what we were doing and that that found that fulfillment by uh growing our business and and creating new products and and you know again it's simple but it's it's making people's food taste better. Everybody eats and everyone wants their food to taste better and we're in an interesting position where we can do that because we have phenomenal manufacturers that we work with [snorts] that will create any products that we want. Um, so, uh, we made that decision about a year and a half ago and we've, you know, more than doubled our sales in a year and it was due to really just incredible teamwork and a belief in our vision and our mission and um, but that's always the goal. Like everything we do, you know, when I was a player,

everything I did was based on whether or not it would help our team win a Super Bowl.

Yeah. You know, will this help our team win a Super Bowl? Right. And if it didn't, I wouldn't do it. Whether that meant getting your sleep or eating right or getting treatment or studying the playbook or whatever I did was to help me become the best player I could be to help my team win a Super Bowl. That's the kind of attitude we have with Macaffrey Brands. Everything we do is to help bring new, creative, premium products to market that make people's food taste better, that provides them value. And if it doesn't, then we won't do it. And if we believe it does, then we will do it. And so far, that's been our recipe for success, if you will.

And that's why you are a phenomenal leader, man, because that's the mentality that it takes. And you know, you you've talked about uh your mustard being the best mustard in the world, and and I will co-sign on that because I've been able to have it and sample it as well, too. What goes into creating the best mustard in the world, aside pleasing Ed McAffy's pallet, right? What what goes into making that happen? Oh, I we could sit here and talk about that all day, but for me, right, um I consider myself a super taster. Now, people anybody can claim that, but I love food. If anything, I have to try to eat less food because I love food so much. So, when we started with our line of mustard and horseradish sauces, again, it was to make the very healthy, bland foods I was eating taste better.

But so many people have, you know, hundreds and thousands of recipes that they use horseradish and mustard for. But, uh, you want to, you know, you want to use the best. We're a premium product where, we use healthy ingredients, which means we need to get really high quality ingredients to be able to make our mustard. And then we have to have an incredible manufacturer who we found that will help us create our flavor profiles until we get the one that we like for whatever category we have. And right now, we have six SKs. We have spicy brown, we have yellow, we have chipotle, Sriracha, we have horseradish, smoky horseradish, and we're coming out with a whole bunch of more uh creative sauces and mustard products in 2026 and 2027. But um for me, I've really found a lot of value with our manufacturers who help secure the best premium ingredients and have honestly the manufacturing facility because these are multi-million

dollar facilities. I mean, tens of millions of dollars to create the type of facility that can make premium products with the healthiest ingredients. And so, it took a long time to find the right manufacturer that is reliable, that's accountable, um that you can work with. And uh we were very lucky, very lucky with the the manufacturers that we work with with our mustard and horseradish products are the best in the world. um you know we rely on the um collaboration with mustard makers that whose families have been in the business for hundreds of years right and so I don't think you just make the best product in the world by chance right we we relied on hundreds of years of experience and of um families who have made mustard and horseradish sauces and so uh we really lucked out with our manufacturer we really did um so now that set a very high bar for all of the other manufacturers that we work with.

Um, and so we by working with um our original manufacturer have been able to understand what it takes to be able to deliver consistently premium products. And uh it's it's not just the actual quality of the price. It's not just the taste, right? It's

being able to deliver that consistently. But then you get into the business side of

um you know all of the contracts that we have with the suppliers that provide the ingredients to create the mustard in the plant and then you get into distribution and pricing and negotiating with retailers and online and it's it's it's a whole to do right which is why I had to bring in a lot of extra people who had expertise in all these different areas to help me run the company. So, as founder and CEO, I oversee um all processes, but make sure that I bring in people that have expertise in different areas that we can continue to grow. But, um it for me it's down to the people, right? You know, I I have to really identify the best people um for us to work with. And so far so good. I mean, it's and that's preparation, right? It's due diligence, researching the people that you're working with. It's determination, like being willing to work through all of the different issues that you might have running your

business. Um, and it's a little bit of luck, you know, I'll admit it, a little bit of lucky that the people that I partnered with ended up being really good, highquality people that care about their businesses and our business as well.

I think you can discern that in in certain people. Um, and and this is me giving you another shout out for the mustard because I do agree and I'm I'm usually not a mustard guy, especially Djon, but like yours is amazing. The perfect binder for crab cakes is your mustard. And when I'm out in Colorado, I always stop at a spot with my son and my turkey sandwiches always have to have your mustard. So, I promise you, this is me talking to the viewers and the listeners when he says it's the best. He's literally not lying. So, Ed, where can people uh get the Macaffrey brand products?

Well, first of all, thank you because that we do it for you. We do it for people who find some value in having a great tasting quality product. So, thank that makes me so happy when I hear that. Every time someone enjoys our product, it puts a smile on my face. So, thank you. um and send me your recipes as well. We love collecting recipes and we'll at some point put them on the website just so people can share um some of the things other people are doing. But in terms of finding the product in Colorado, we sell at King Supers and City Markets. We sell at Safeway and Albertson's. So you can find them on the shelves of those retailers. Um we sell online with Amazon and we sell at on our website mcaffreybrands.com.

So, the easiest place to go is just to our website, unless you live in Colorado. Now, our protein bites have been selling in King Supers. We're hoping they're in Safeway next year. They are at Dick Sporting Goods. Dicks Sporting Goods has been an incredible partner of ours. We're in 200 stores nationally, up to 400 stores next year nationally. And we have all three of our SKUs, uh, chocolate chip cookie dough, fudge brownie, and birthday cake are all on the shelves at Dick Sporting Goods Stores. And they the the orders keep coming in. So, so far so good. We've had great retail partners as well. So, I want to thank all of them. And if you want to find our products, that's where you can look,

right? And and so I will tell you this, too. So, I was at one of the dicks in Denver and I got the chocolate chip cookie dough. It's not supposed to be that good. I I promise you it's not supposed to be that good, brother.

Well, I appreciate No, it you know, and I wanted our first three SKs cuz we're going to come out with more, but our first three SKs, I wanted them to be delicious. No doubt about it. Like we can't air on these not tasting great. So, who doesn't like chocolate chip cookie dough, right? But it's healthy. That's the difference, right? You can have these and it tastes incredible for a healthy snack. Plant-based protein, gluten-free, non GMO, super healthy. A lot of uh people with allergies can eat these with no problem whatsoever because I know that's a big thing these days.

All healthy ingredients and um and so we think we think they're absolutely delicious. You know, they're in a Ziploc bag as you can see. So you can you can eat one bite, three bites, stay under 100 calories, get your protein intake and or you can eat the whole bag like I do once a day and get 20 grams of protein.

You're talking about one bite, three bite, bro. Like what happened was I immediately had one bite in my son's car. We get to his apartment and I got a glass of milk and ate the rest of them. I was like, I these are healthy, but they taste delicious. So kudos to you and the team and and everybody that's involved in making this. Ed one, I'm honored to have you on, man. I know you're busy and I got to let you go, but I can't do this justice without ending with my quick five rapid fire questions. Ed McCaffrey, you ready?

Your favorite route to run was what? Fade route in the end zone. Knew it. Knew it every time. Your favorite football memory is

Super Bowl 32. John Elway taking an E on the last play of the game. We were in the victory formation. Watch that last second tick off the clock and the Denver Broncos won their first Super Bowl in Broncos history.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So, my uncle played in a Pro Bowl with John Elway starting quarterback. He was starting receiver. He said in practice he caught a pass from Elway and it shattered his pinky. So my uncle no longer has a bone in his right pinky because John Elway broke it. Like how fast and how hard was John Elway's fast ball, bro?

Let's just say he broke both my ring fingers. So he he threw pretty hard. He was one of the few players who could throw that comeback route after the receiver started breaking down and coming out of the route. So for people that don't know what a comeback route is, back in the day, they were pretty deep down the field, right? 20 yards down the field, breaking back in a 45 to the sideline. And so typically as a quarterback, you got to throw that ball early. You got to hope the receiver breaks down and comes out of the break where you want him to because if you throw it late, it's going to get picked, right? Can't be late on an out route or behind the receiver on out route. So, so there were times where I would be coming out of my break, I'd peak and the ball's just leaving his hand and it would get to me in time before the DB could make a break on it. So, I've never seen anything like it. He had a cannon for an

arm. Absolutely. Absolutely. So, you are the taste connoisseur. What's something you will no longer eat though or or that you don't like?

Oh, you know, I don't like [snorts] uh the fat on I love steaks. It's one of my favorite meals. I love eating red meat and protein, but I can't eat the actual fat on the steak, so I have to cut it off my steak. So, I I have to eat really lean red meats, and if it's a fatty steak, I'll just go to work on it.

I I'm the same way. Like I I I eat fillet if I have a steak and like I'll go to spot steakouses and they're like, "Oh, you should do this this Wagu or this this marbleized ribeye." I'm like, "I'm not going to like it. I promise you I'm not going to like it." So that's interesting. All right, last question, Ed. And this is probably the most important one for me. as your legacy is being built and and you can't speak for yourself, but your legacy can. What's what's one sentence that you want your legacy to be defined as?

Oh, man. Hopefully people remember me as a good husband, a good father, and someone who cared about other people.

All American Ed McCaffrey, brother. I I appreciate you more than you know, man. Like, this has been an honor. There's so many other things I want to talk to you about and ask you about, but I'm going to make sure that I get with your team the next time I'm out there because my son is out there. I'm going to come say hello. Or maybe maybe if the Patriots do end up playing in Mile High for the playoffs, I'll come say hello.

Definitely. If you're in Colorado, give me a shout. We'll get together and say hi to Stanley for me, man. Hall of Fame.

I will totally do that. We'll totally do that. For ladies and gentlemen, for everybody listening and watching, your because is your superpower. Go unleash it. You've been plugged into Mick Unplugged.
