The Warner House
An active All-Pro NFL linebacker and his wife discuss the craft of pro football, life off the field, and interview fellow players.
A hybrid sports and lifestyle podcast from the perspective of an elite, active NFL player and his wife. Episodes alternate between deep-dive interviews with other professional athletes about the craft of football and more casual conversations between Fred and Sydney about their family life, the 49ers season, and stories from around the league. It provides a rare, in-the-moment look at the pressures and realities of a top-tier NFL career.
“Unlike most athlete-hosted podcasts by retired players, Fred Warner is at the peak of his career, offering a uniquely current and peer-to-peer perspective when interviewing other active players. The blend of hardcore football analysis with lifestyle and family content from his wife, Sydney, creates a broader, more complete picture of a pro athlete's life.”
Who hosts this show
Hosted by San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner and his wife, Sydney Warner. Fred is a multiple-time First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection, widely considered one of the best linebackers in the NFL. Sydney, a former contestant on "The Bachelor," is a social media influencer and entrepreneur with a background in biology and nutrition. The show offers a dual perspective on the NFL world: Fred's on-field insights and Sydney's view from the sidelines, blended with their life as new parents.

What you'll be asked on this show
Fred Warner's interview style is that of a peer, not just a host. He opens by establishing a personal connection, often through a shared background like their alma mater (BYU) or the common experience of being an active player. He probes the craft of football with detailed, specific questions that could only come from another elite player, frequently sharing his own film study process or on-field mindset to elicit equally detailed answers. He uses structured segments like "Splurge or Save" and "Build Your Perfect Receiver" to cover a range of topics quickly. His follow-up questions are sharp and based on active listening, allowing him to dig deeper into a guest's career turning points, mentality, and unique skills.
The show has two distinct formats: in-depth, single-guest interviews hosted by Fred, and co-hosted chats with his wife, Sydney. Interview episodes are craft-focused and built on mutual respect, with Fred sharing his own experiences to build rapport. The episodes with Sydney are more conversational, covering their personal life, parenting, and fan questions.
