Cutler, a retired NFL quarterback and host of Uncut with Jay Cutler, reflects on a rare career path, the impact of football, and what comes next.

He’s now pursuing podcasting, a meat subscription business, and other projects, while staying private about certain aspects of his life.
The conversation explores the rise of podcasting as a platform for “regular guys” and the freedom it offers, contrasted with the glare of reality TV and media narratives. Cutler recalls his early podcasting days, his first big appearances on Joe Rogan, and how the format lets him test the waters without the machinery of Hollywood. He notes the public’s appetite for unscripted moments, but also the desire to shield personal matters.

He candidly discusses cars, investments, and the misfires of early money, joking about dream machines, a zoo venture that burned down, and the pitfalls of impulse purchases.
The talk shifts to football culture and Tom Brady’s longevity, with Cutler attributing Brady’s success to work ethic, timing, coaching, and a great situation. He compares quarterback life across high school, college, and the NFL, noting how the NFL becomes a job that tests patience and relationships, including with teammates and offensive linemen.
Reality TV, marriage pressure, and keeping a relationship grounded are examined. Cutler argues that fame can strain partnerships, but that being grounded and communicating matters. He also discusses the search for purpose after football and the balance between public persona and private life.
