- 0:42Speaker 1: Too Personal shows, so we'll.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Get to that later.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But first, sticking with the theme of me starting the
- 0:48Speaker 1: show with something personal that I'm going through, I've been
- 0:52Speaker 1: thinking a lot this past week about my father. So
- 0:57Speaker 1: I don't talk about my dad much. I have shared
- 1:00Speaker 1: on a couple different platforms how I grew up and
- 1:04Speaker 1: some of the abuse that I endured as a child,
- 1:10Speaker 1: and I've never really gotten into the specifics of my
- 1:13Speaker 1: relationship with my father, or lack thereof.
- 1:16Speaker 2: I haven't really.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Gotten into the specifics of my family's relationship with him
- 1:21Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons, mostly being that I feel
- 1:26Speaker 1: like in some way, me telling my story.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Will tell others stories as.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Well, and they don't necessarily want theirs to be told.
- 1:36Speaker 2: But I realize over.
- 1:40Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the traumas that I've endured
- 1:43Speaker 1: in my life, that in some ways I can trace
- 1:47Speaker 1: back the origins of my comfortability with the toxicity that
- 1:51Speaker 1: led to them to my relationship with my father. So
- 1:56Speaker 1: my father is still alive. We do not speak. We
- 1:59Speaker 1: have spoken in many, many, many many years, and I've
- 2:04Speaker 1: had different conversations with therapists, with friends that are close
- 2:08Speaker 1: to me, with people I've been in relationships with about
- 2:11Speaker 1: how I should repair that relationship. If you have a
- 2:16Speaker 1: bad relationship with a parent, I think each individual has
- 2:20Speaker 1: a different perspective on what they want from that relationship
- 2:24Speaker 1: or how they want to have conversations. Or I have
- 2:26Speaker 1: a very close friend that didn't have a relationship with
- 2:29Speaker 1: his father growing up. He now has repaired that relationship
- 2:33Speaker 1: and they have a good relationship working on better and
- 2:37Speaker 1: you know, talking to him I was.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I was really happy for him that he was able
- 2:41Speaker 2: to do that.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And I don't want to necessarily say proud because I
- 2:45Speaker 1: don't know the intricacies of what their relationship was. But
- 2:49Speaker 1: for me personally, I do wonder how different of a
- 2:53Speaker 1: person I would be if I had a relationship with
- 2:58Speaker 1: a father. So not necessarily if I had a relationship
- 3:01Speaker 1: with my father, but if I had a real, true
- 3:06Speaker 1: father in my life.
- 3:07Speaker 2: One of my best friend's fathers I kind.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Of adopted, you know, in my late teens early twenties,
- 3:15Speaker 1: but we aren't as close enough as I would need
- 3:18Speaker 1: to be with a father that I could rely.
- 3:20Speaker 2: On in that way.
- 3:21Speaker 1: And in a lot of ways, not having a man
- 3:24Speaker 1: in my life that I can call on in the
- 3:26Speaker 1: way that you would call on a father has isolated
- 3:30Speaker 1: me from men, has caused me to have a deep
- 3:33Speaker 1: distrust for people. It's definitely formed some type of hyper
- 3:38Speaker 1: independence and all of these things I'm definitely working on
- 3:42Speaker 1: and I recognize in myself.
- 3:44Speaker 2: But I think when we talk about, you know.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Daddy issues, you always default to your relationships with men
- 3:50Speaker 1: and your relationship with sex and not being able to,
- 3:53Speaker 1: you know, form real bonds or have respect for men
- 3:56Speaker 1: and will.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Some of those things are true.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I think those in some ways be the easily fixed
- 4:02Speaker 1: issues when it comes.
- 4:03Speaker 2: To having daddy issues.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll ever be a real whole
- 4:09Speaker 1: person because I don't have that safety net with a
- 4:14Speaker 1: man in my life, and I don't think a brother
- 4:17Speaker 1: can fix that. I'm very close with my brothers. I
- 4:20Speaker 1: have an amazing relationship with my mom. She's a wonderful
- 4:23Speaker 1: person and gives me a sense of home that like
- 4:27Speaker 1: no one else can. But the void of growing up
- 4:31Speaker 1: in an unsafe environment, not knowing what the day is
- 4:36Speaker 1: going to be one day to the next, almost sensing
- 4:40Speaker 1: like peace and quiet in any kind of tenderness from
- 4:45Speaker 1: your father as manipulation because you know that it can
- 4:48Speaker 1: be turned on its head at a second notice to
- 4:51Speaker 1: complete terror. I don't know how to properly contextualize how
- 4:58Speaker 1: surviving in an environment like that could ever just switch
- 5:02Speaker 1: off as an adult, And believe me, I've done extensive
- 5:05Speaker 1: work to try and repair what was broken to me
- 5:08Speaker 1: from a very young age. My first memory in life,
- 5:13Speaker 1: like my oldest memory from the time that I was
- 5:16Speaker 1: the youngest, was my mother running away from my father
- 5:21Speaker 1: as he chased her around the kitchen table, and I'm
- 5:24Speaker 1: hiding my younger brother and sister in my arms, and
- 5:28Speaker 1: she's screaming at him not to hit her in front
- 5:30Speaker 1: of us. That's my first memory in life. And so
- 5:34Speaker 1: much of trauma is in your DNA. Obviously, it's passed
- 5:37Speaker 1: from generations, and we know that that's a real thing,
- 5:40Speaker 1: but it's also in how you're formed, and like what
- 5:42Speaker 1: makes you feel safe, what feels familiar to you, and
- 5:46Speaker 1: getting and breaking the chains of chaos that that kind
- 5:50Speaker 1: of childhood put in me was very hard to do
- 5:53Speaker 1: and I'm still working on it. But I also want
- 5:57Speaker 1: to recognize all the things that I'm missing so that
- 6:00Speaker 1: I'm not so hard on myself when I try to
- 6:04Speaker 1: fix those things.
- 6:06Speaker 2: So that's part one of the daddy issues.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Rant There'll be plenty more, but that's what I wanted
- 6:12Speaker 1: to talk about today. Speaking of fathers, but a good father.
- 6:16Speaker 2: That's a terrible transition.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Moving on to our interview, and so I would talk
- 6:23Speaker 1: to my very good friend Shady.
- 6:25Speaker 2: All Right, we got Shady on the podcast. My good
- 6:29Speaker 2: friend Lashaw McCoy.

- 6:51Speaker 3: First of all, thank you so much.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Everybody did a cart roll in the back flip when
- 6:54Speaker 4: he found out that you were going to host it.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Just so you know, yes, of course I was going
- 6:59Speaker 2: to host it.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Two time Super Bowl champion, all time leading rusher for
- 7:04Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, that's correct, Pitt Panther and dog dad
- 7:09Speaker 1: to mama, Well, mama's not here.
- 7:14Speaker 3: She could have came. She's great, she's very chilling, but
- 7:18Speaker 3: I know that she's real calm.
- 7:20Speaker 2: And you are also a father of two.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Very complex person, Shady is He asked me before we started,
- 7:28Speaker 1: how many personalities he has?
- 7:30Speaker 2: I said one?
- 7:31Speaker 1: Okay, But I think Shadey's a very consistent I think
- 7:34Speaker 1: you're a very consistent person.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Yes, and honest. Consistent and honest?
- 7:37Speaker 1: You are?
- 7:38Speaker 2: You are honest?
- 7:39Speaker 3: That's right.
- 7:40Speaker 2: I don't well, the version I know of you is honest.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Would you say you're honest with women?
- 7:46Speaker 3: Yeah? Yes, that you know what's funny.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Is one of the main things that women do love
- 7:52Speaker 4: and appreciate about.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Me is like, man, you're just so honest.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like that. All right. We start every
- 8:01Speaker 2: show with a personal questions. See you have to pick one.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Read it out loud, Kay, it's personal personal question.
- 8:09Speaker 3: What's something success took from you that you didn't expect?
- 8:13Speaker 2: What is something that success took from you that you
- 8:16Speaker 2: didn't expect?
- 8:18Speaker 3: What is something that success took from me that you
- 8:21Speaker 3: didn't expect? You know? What? The the enjoyment out of.
- 8:32Speaker 4: Success, Like you think it's so much joy and you
- 8:34Speaker 4: think so much happiness, and a lot of people close
- 8:39Speaker 4: to me, friends and all that, women, they took a
- 8:43Speaker 4: lot of that from me. And I think because I
- 8:45Speaker 4: was so successful at such a young age, a lot
- 8:48Speaker 4: of them took a lot of that from me. So
- 8:49Speaker 4: like the enjoyment of like, man, I made it, and
- 8:52Speaker 4: then you start find out things and this and that,
- 8:55Speaker 4: it's like, dang, I'm happy, right, but I think I
- 9:00Speaker 4: was almost I was happier when I wasn't successful or
- 9:02Speaker 4: had money, but at just I thought it would be better.
- 9:06Speaker 4: So I would say that that's something that like people
- 9:09Speaker 4: still your success.
- 9:09Speaker 3: You know, like.
- 9:12Speaker 4: If we really feeling I love you, you my boy,
- 9:14Speaker 4: and whatever it is you she's my woman, Like you
- 9:17Speaker 4: should be always super happy that I made it, because
- 9:19Speaker 4: it's it's hard to make it out. And I think
- 9:21Speaker 4: a lot of people from like jealousy or just maybe
- 9:25Speaker 4: thinking that I should do this form and so they
- 9:29Speaker 4: took a lot.
- 9:30Speaker 3: So I think that's something that success.
- 9:32Speaker 4: I think, you know, being successful has been taken from
- 9:35Speaker 4: me just from people.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I mean I think I think that we all aspire
- 9:41Speaker 1: to different things, and when you reach a certain level
- 9:45Speaker 1: of success, there is an expectation that everyone is going
- 9:49Speaker 1: to be happy for you, that everyone is going to
- 9:51Speaker 1: support you, or that everyone is going to stay the same,
- 9:55Speaker 1: and I think there's just there's certain things you can't
- 9:59Speaker 1: know until you do it right. Like people can give
- 10:01Speaker 1: you all the advice in the world and be like, look,
- 10:03Speaker 1: you're going to have more problems when you get more money,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and it's like cool, but I want those problems, Like
- 10:07Speaker 1: I want the problems that that money brings. And it's
- 10:11Speaker 1: not it sounds like you're being ungrateful when you say
- 10:14Speaker 1: these things about success, but it's it's not for a
- 10:17Speaker 1: lack of gratitude, Like you wouldn't give the success back.
- 10:20Speaker 2: You wouldn't give the money back. You wouldn't give the the.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Cars, the jewelry, the experiences, the ability to take care
- 10:28Speaker 1: of your family, your kids, like the peace of mind
- 10:31Speaker 1: that knowing that they'll never have to work if you
- 10:33Speaker 1: know that your family's taken care of all.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Those things for sure.
- 10:37Speaker 1: But there is a different there's a different way you
- 10:40Speaker 1: have to walk through life.
- 10:41Speaker 2: There's a different way you have to treat people.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And it's I think it's it takes maybe your innocence away.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. You know what I'll say though, Yes,
- 10:51Speaker 4: that's that's a great one, because it does. I would
- 10:54Speaker 4: say this though, I wish I would have been rich
- 10:56Speaker 4: or successful later on, right because I was at twenty
- 11:01Speaker 4: years old. I was in the NFL twenty years old,
- 11:04Speaker 4: and like you know, like every decision you make is
- 11:08Speaker 4: just because everybody's after this after that. Like for example,
- 11:10Speaker 4: right now, when I'm hanging out, I'm doing things, Yo,
- 11:13Speaker 4: I'm always thinking about damn, okay, make sure I'm doing
- 11:15Speaker 4: so I won't get sued. I've been sued so much
- 11:17Speaker 4: for stuff that I had nothing to do with. I'm like,
- 11:19Speaker 4: hold up, you suing me, but because they are around me,
- 11:21Speaker 4: I didn't even do nothing and nobody cares about that
- 11:26Speaker 4: or or or if you you know, you would a
- 11:28Speaker 4: girl and like maybe things don't work out their way
- 11:31Speaker 4: the girl wanted or what she might have thought hanging
- 11:33Speaker 4: out with me is.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Gonna be or you know what I mean.
- 11:36Speaker 4: And then I'm like instantly scari like damn, I don't
- 11:39Speaker 4: want her to like make a false lie up and
- 11:41Speaker 4: now if it's not true, people don't care about that,
- 11:45Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. They'll read something in the
- 11:47Speaker 4: blogs and it's like now now I'm not playing football now,
- 11:51Speaker 4: so what I'm doing TV and et cetera, and I
- 11:54Speaker 4: want people looking at me a certain way. I'm like, yo,
- 11:56Speaker 4: it's just it's crazy how I live your life now
- 11:59Speaker 4: that you got some some paper and you famous, it's
- 12:01Speaker 4: one of the hardest things to do. So imagine being
- 12:03Speaker 4: twenty years old thinking like that, Yeah you know, you
- 12:08Speaker 4: got college homies, you appreciate it.
- 12:10Speaker 3: It's crazy. So it's like I don't even I don't
- 12:13Speaker 3: even like it.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Many great, I I got to, you know, be twenty
- 12:20Speaker 1: and be a normal twenty year old. But yeah, so
- 12:22Speaker 1: all those when did you realize that you were like
- 12:25Speaker 1: in danger though?
- 12:27Speaker 3: When? Like when like.
- 12:28Speaker 4: Every time that so in high school or even in college,
- 12:31Speaker 4: you have a disagreement with a friend, like family, you're
- 12:36Speaker 4: get in an argument with a dud. Yeah, maybe I fight, right,
- 12:38Speaker 4: maybe I argue a girlfriend. Maybe think we break up.
- 12:42Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 12:44Speaker 4: I learned that when once that stuff started happening. And
- 12:47Speaker 4: now you try to get money from me to make
- 12:49Speaker 4: it right. If I ruin my homeboy, we push each other.
- 12:53Speaker 3: That's it right.
- 12:54Speaker 4: Now, It's like yo, man, like yo, you you cut me?
- 12:57Speaker 3: You are you? And now you're trying to sue me
- 12:59Speaker 3: or for a girl.
- 13:00Speaker 4: We you know, in college, you're coming over to my apartment,
- 13:03Speaker 4: you're hanging out. You know what I'm saying. You we
- 13:04Speaker 4: we we kicking it whatever, and things don't work out,
- 13:07Speaker 4: We go all separate ways, we broke up. You gonna
- 13:10Speaker 4: take your ass to your apartment or whatever you got
- 13:13Speaker 4: going on. Okay, Now fast forward. Now I'm in the
- 13:17Speaker 4: league now and you come into my crib right and
- 13:19Speaker 4: you might be here for you know, you know how
- 13:21Speaker 4: girls do you know y'all do y'all y'all start leaving
- 13:23Speaker 4: stuff over there, so you just coming when you want
- 13:24Speaker 4: to come, and now when we break up, you acting
- 13:27Speaker 4: like it's a divorce, like well this Alanta, and now
- 13:31Speaker 4: you want me to pay for your next spot, or
- 13:34Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, this is so that was like my
- 13:36Speaker 4: first role.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Let's get that. Man, I did not get that, and
- 13:39Speaker 2: then you get scared.
- 13:40Speaker 4: And then you get scared though, because now it's all
- 13:42Speaker 4: right because I got something to lose.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Part that that I think, like not dealing with people
- 13:48Speaker 4: that are not being successful at a young age. You
- 13:50Speaker 4: can do what you want for real because you don't
- 13:52Speaker 4: got nothing to lose. But then when you successful, was like, yo,
- 13:54Speaker 4: I got some loose from now you know that. So
- 13:57Speaker 4: I watched girls or friends or family treat.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Someone just like me. It's not successful differently.
- 14:03Speaker 4: Yeah you know what I mean, Like they'll let him
- 14:05Speaker 4: get away with it or okay, slap on the wrist.
- 14:08Speaker 4: But now you want to comfort everything I got. You
- 14:09Speaker 4: write me letters, you're threatening me. If I don't get this,
- 14:12Speaker 4: I'm like, shit.
- 14:14Speaker 2: It's greed.
- 14:15Speaker 3: It's greed.
- 14:17Speaker 1: It's greed, and it's kind of heartbreaking because I know
- 14:21Speaker 1: for me, it's really changed.
- 14:24Speaker 2: It's not just changed. How I move. But it's changed my.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Ability to like really feel comfortable around people anymore. I've
- 14:32Speaker 1: you know, I've been in the public eye for a
- 14:34Speaker 1: long time.
- 14:35Speaker 2: I watched it.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I say, where I go and all that, But like
- 14:38Speaker 1: I just think of myself still as a person, and
- 14:41Speaker 1: you know, recently, I just don't.
- 14:43Speaker 2: I don't have that ability anymore.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Like I know now in a very real way that
- 14:50Speaker 1: like I'm a target and I was always a target
- 14:54Speaker 1: just being a woman and being a beautiful woman, and
- 14:58Speaker 1: being a black woman, and like you know, traveling or
- 15:02Speaker 1: you know, if I lived by myself or any of
- 15:04Speaker 1: those things, Like I'm always on alert.
- 15:06Speaker 2: But now it's like it's not just my physical.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Safety, it's my like whole existence, like every single person
- 15:13Speaker 1: I interact with, if it's even kind of a little
- 15:16Speaker 1: bit negative, the anxiety of like fuck, what, like what's
- 15:22Speaker 1: about to happen now? And it's really I don't know.
- 15:25Speaker 1: I think it makes it very difficult. I see why
- 15:27Speaker 1: a lot of people like why why really famous people
- 15:30Speaker 1: date other really famous.
- 15:32Speaker 4: I just learned that so before I would like I
- 15:34Speaker 4: can't say my first celebrity.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Person, you know what I mean, she's married.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Now, Okay, but but I remember like this he wants
- 15:46Speaker 4: to say this, But I remember like like messing or
- 15:51Speaker 4: dating or whatever, and just it was like a fun
- 15:53Speaker 4: yeah oh you know, just like yeah, well now i'm older, Like, yo,
- 15:57Speaker 4: I don't date, true story, I don't date. No daddy bones. Yeah,
- 16:01Speaker 4: you gotta have a job, a career. You have something
- 16:03Speaker 4: to lose, because before like she's bad.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Yo.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Now I was like, no, you gotta have something to lose,
- 16:08Speaker 4: gotta have a job. You you used to like the trick, Well,
- 16:11Speaker 4: I don't know what I used to. Oh you still trick?
- 16:14Speaker 4: I mean I think what's really tricking. I'm a I'm generous,
- 16:16Speaker 4: I'm a cancer.
- 16:17Speaker 3: You know that.
- 16:18Speaker 4: Okay, my mom my mom always told me, she said, son,
- 16:21Speaker 4: that my mom was married for thirty eight years. So
- 16:23Speaker 4: I'm possibly good, right, he says, son. A woman don't
- 16:28Speaker 4: like a man that's not generous. It's not a gentleman,
- 16:32Speaker 4: and he's broke. They don't like that. They don't like that.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Own a dummy. She's always in the dummy.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Right.
- 16:37Speaker 2: That's probably really probably keep me in school and all that.
- 16:41Speaker 4: But anyway, sound like, Yo, now I'm older, I'm thirty eight,
- 16:44Speaker 4: thirty seventty sick.
- 16:46Speaker 2: I'm thirty, so I'm thirty. You know what? What literally

- 17:47Speaker 3: lot of guys. It's just you know what I'm saying
- 17:50Speaker 3: here today, going tomorrow.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Yeah, but it still could you could be that too
- 17:56Speaker 2: if you get the wrong one.
- 17:58Speaker 3: I ain't sticking like that.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a romantic I mean you've talked to me
- 18:04Speaker 1: about this before though. I remember when you started to
- 18:06Speaker 1: go through this change, you had a couple incidents where
- 18:10Speaker 1: I was like, it might be time to start messing
- 18:13Speaker 1: with women that have a job.
- 18:14Speaker 3: When a girl was trying to run up with my conda.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I did you if you want to share that story
- 18:19Speaker 1: you I did not say that.
- 18:21Speaker 2: I was keeping it vague.
- 18:22Speaker 4: But Mayam, I was the victim equivocally where the victim
- 18:29Speaker 4: is concerned for you, I don't know if you should
- 18:32Speaker 4: share it.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Should you share this story? I don't know if you
- 18:33Speaker 2: want to shore this.
- 18:34Speaker 3: I just I just you know, nice young lady.
- 18:38Speaker 1: You know she was not a nice young lady looking. Okay,
- 18:42Speaker 1: that's not the same thing.
- 18:43Speaker 3: That's true. Now, you're right. She wanted she want a.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Bad person, terrible person. She's a bad person. You're a
- 18:48Speaker 2: bad person. The fuck are you talking about?
- 18:52Speaker 3: Wherever you are?
- 18:53Speaker 1: You?
- 18:53Speaker 3: A bad person?
- 18:55Speaker 2: Unstable person.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Well, I won't say her name, but I don't know who.
- 18:59Speaker 2: She is at all. Did I know what she did?
- 19:00Speaker 2: And that is an unstable thing to do?
- 19:02Speaker 3: Well, she you know, we broke up. We're we together.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Technically I don't know that we was together, but this
- 19:09Speaker 3: is this is old though.
- 19:10Speaker 4: But anyway, we was. I think we were together. I
- 19:11Speaker 4: think we were together. And I was like, you know what,
- 19:15Speaker 4: it's probably better. It's not you, it's my line. It's
- 19:17Speaker 4: not you, it's it's more me. I can get myself together,
- 19:20Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So we broke up and
- 19:22Speaker 4: keep it a long story short. She just kept calling,
- 19:26Speaker 4: kept calling, Keip calling, and she just somehow I'm sleep
- 19:29Speaker 4: It's like one am, and somehow she came up in
- 19:33Speaker 4: my condo.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Was so scared, like like as a rob.
- 19:36Speaker 4: I was like, oh, take it every like, it's you
- 19:40Speaker 4: and I. How'd you get up here? And I guess
- 19:45Speaker 4: they let her up whatever, So but I was scared though.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Now I was scared. I was scared for a second.
- 19:53Speaker 1: He's drastically underselling the drama of that's it's so crazy. Yeah,
- 19:57Speaker 1: it's really not okay, Yeah, but you you shouldn't.
- 20:02Speaker 2: You should definitely stick with this change. I think it's change.
- 20:05Speaker 3: The worst part though, is that we laid there like
- 20:07Speaker 3: nothing ever happened.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Now you you are also unstable. You also need help.
- 20:12Speaker 1: The reaction to someone breaking into your home is not
- 20:15Speaker 1: to then let them into your bed.
- 20:16Speaker 2: That's that's not okay.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Well I was already in my bed.
- 20:20Speaker 5: Yeah, we know you were in your bed. It was
- 20:22Speaker 5: your home, and she jumped in there and got comfortable.
- 20:27Speaker 5: But women be having powered, women's sparing the men. They
- 20:29Speaker 5: got powers over it because.
- 20:30Speaker 2: She just yes, we know, breakfast next.
- 20:34Speaker 3: It was like that never happened, and she should if
- 20:36Speaker 3: it's the least she can do.
- 20:37Speaker 4: She's gonna break into your own We've done for like
- 20:39Speaker 4: three months though, So you can't just like, you.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Know, it's that stories and nuts. Yeah, so you know
- 20:45Speaker 1: you don't. You're not dealing with her anymore. You want
- 20:48Speaker 1: to get married, I do, So what steps are you
- 20:51Speaker 1: taking to it?
- 20:52Speaker 2: Well? Why do you want to get married?
- 20:53Speaker 3: First of all, that's just what I know. I've been married.
- 20:56Speaker 3: I mean my parents were married for thirty eight thirty
- 20:58Speaker 3: nine years.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Have you ever been close married?
- 21:02Speaker 3: Nah?
- 21:03Speaker 2: I never like.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Looked at a ring or like had a conversation with
- 21:06Speaker 1: someone like we're you gonna get married?
- 21:09Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Kind of not really I don't want to, no, no, nah, So.
- 21:16Speaker 2: What makes you feel like you're ready to get married.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Now we're tired.
- 21:22Speaker 2: We're tired, yeah, tired of the streets.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Yeah, we're tired of the streets. Yeah. I just no,
- 21:29Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think that my son's getting older.
- 21:32Speaker 4: I have a daughter, and I don't want to grow
- 21:34Speaker 4: up like they think all this great things are their dad, right,
- 21:38Speaker 4: because they break down, Like especially my son, he knows one.
- 21:40Speaker 4: He's bragging and it's like, I'm running around here. This
- 21:43Speaker 4: tricking at fifty is crazy, you know what I'm saying,
- 21:47Speaker 4: And they get looking young, He like, dang dad. I
- 21:49Speaker 4: don't want to just do that, and I want to
- 21:50Speaker 4: show him out to be a man. And my daughter,
- 21:52Speaker 4: you know, I look at her where she looks for me.
- 21:56Speaker 4: For every answer, I'm gonna call my dad. That's her thing.
- 21:58Speaker 4: I'm calling my dad now she's seventeen or thirteen, and
- 22:05Speaker 4: I'm running around here and still I ain't trying to
- 22:07Speaker 4: do that, you know. And I come from a loving background,
- 22:10Speaker 4: so that's what I know. That's what I always wanted
- 22:13Speaker 4: that though I think his problem was my trauma, because
- 22:17Speaker 4: you know, I get my therapy twice a week. Is
- 22:21Speaker 4: not being a trust since I've been twenty. I've been
- 22:25Speaker 4: on and I've been dealing with like older women, and
- 22:27Speaker 4: I'm like, dang, because she really like I'm twenty, you
- 22:29Speaker 4: you thirty two?
- 22:31Speaker 3: You like me because it feels like you really like me,
- 22:34Speaker 3: but I know in my head like you kind of don't.
- 22:36Speaker 2: So you were a wayan dealing with an older woman.
- 22:41Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you a great This will really traumatize me.
- 22:47Speaker 4: My favorite rapper and favorite person of all time.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Do you know what this?
- 22:52Speaker 2: I'm really a little afraid for you to.
- 22:53Speaker 3: It's fifty cents.
- 22:54Speaker 4: Okay, I'm a hugelycent, like huge, right, but how twenty
- 23:03Speaker 4: twenty one, I first got to the NFL right our
- 23:06Speaker 4: bag a super baddie. Oh know, she's nice. She was nice,
- 23:10Speaker 4: but she was famous. She was famous, she's on a movie.
- 23:12Speaker 4: She don't talk of stuff, and she was looking out
- 23:15Speaker 4: for me, like no, not looking out, but like take
- 23:17Speaker 4: me to dinner.
- 23:18Speaker 3: You know he was dating. She was old older, she's
- 23:20Speaker 3: way older than me. But she was bad to Eric.
- 23:22Speaker 4: You know, I'm like, damn, I messing with such and
- 23:24Speaker 4: such and I was like, damn, why do you never
- 23:27Speaker 4: invite me to like Thanksgiving?
- 23:29Speaker 3: Or why do you whatever?
- 23:30Speaker 4: You know what man was asking questions and she would
- 23:32Speaker 4: never even like entertain it. I guess I'm twenty, so
- 23:34Speaker 4: she's playing with me. But she had like some she
- 23:38Speaker 4: was getting some award or something she was doing. I
- 23:39Speaker 4: was all about to go with you. I can't because
- 23:42Speaker 4: the pr and all this stuff and I'm a celebrity
- 23:44Speaker 4: and she couldn't. She was saying, basically like in a
- 23:46Speaker 4: celebrity world, you can't do that. You gotta right just
- 23:48Speaker 4: telling me this. I'm all right, I get it.
- 23:50Speaker 3: I get it. And then I see her with fifty six, like,
- 23:54Speaker 3: oh kill me. I feel like it's such a dummy,
- 23:56Speaker 3: Like yo, so you know that you know that did
- 24:00Speaker 3: to me? Yeah? I just it just turned it right.
- 24:04Speaker 3: What's like a good dude that turned back? Yeah?
- 24:08Speaker 4: Just just you know, I mean, just going crazy. I
- 24:12Speaker 4: ain't that a crazy story though, same story talking about
- 24:16Speaker 4: you can't take me to none of your events.
- 24:18Speaker 2: How long were you guys seeing each other?
- 24:24Speaker 4: I met her in what New York? I don't know,
- 24:28Speaker 4: like three months?
- 24:29Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I mean this is the this is the
- 24:33Speaker 1: thing about y ends that why I like a lot
- 24:38Speaker 1: of people talk to me about dating younger men and
- 24:41Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, like, I don't, it's not really, it's
- 24:44Speaker 1: not for me.
- 24:45Speaker 2: I can't go like not twenty twenty is insane.
- 24:48Speaker 3: But but if you had to though about twenty five.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Four, I don't have to do anything, well.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Not half.
- 24:52Speaker 4: But if you if I said, hey, you have to
- 24:54Speaker 4: date somebody young, what's the number?
- 24:56Speaker 1: I would not date someone younger than twenty five, but
- 24:58Speaker 1: I probably like twenty six. But twenty five to me
- 25:02Speaker 1: is at least for me as a woman, twenty five
- 25:05Speaker 1: was a very like significant growing up year for me.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I know, you know, men kind of mature a different age,
- 25:13Speaker 1: but I mean, think of the difference between you at
- 25:15Speaker 1: twenty and twenty five, Like.
- 25:16Speaker 3: That's she could have never sold me that.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the story. That's a big difference.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Twenty you are you're still I mean, you're not even
- 25:23Speaker 1: old enough to drink, right, So yeah, she got you.
- 25:29Speaker 2: A little closer.
- 25:30Speaker 3: But pr team said I can't do that. I said,
- 25:32Speaker 3: I get it.
- 25:32Speaker 4: I get it, babe, I get it, you know, I mean,
- 25:36Speaker 4: I'm so dope, like, I get it your pr a, babe,
- 25:38Speaker 4: I get it.
- 25:39Speaker 1: But no, listen, I think it's important that you recognize
- 25:41Speaker 1: that was dramatic for you. Because like, that's a much
- 25:44Speaker 1: older woman. She is in a different position in her career.
- 25:48Speaker 1: She is she's got all the moves down, which which
- 25:51Speaker 1: we do. Women mature fast of the men anyway, but
- 25:54Speaker 1: certainly an older woman dealing with a younger.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Man, she she put the put she put the thank
- 25:59Speaker 2: thing on you. Hm, yeah, yes you did.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Okay, okay, But literally since that moment, you haven't been
- 26:07Speaker 1: able to trust women.
- 26:08Speaker 4: I mean, I trust you know some women. I just uh,
- 26:12Speaker 4: as far as in the back of my mind, I
- 26:13Speaker 4: don't like, what.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Is it that you don't trust, like when you think
- 26:16Speaker 1: of like the thing that you don't trust in someone
- 26:21Speaker 1: when you're thinking of like a long term relationship.
- 26:23Speaker 4: I see everything you tell me. I don't truly believe
- 26:26Speaker 4: everything you tell me. For one and then two is
- 26:29Speaker 4: I think another reason is because I've done so much
- 26:31Speaker 4: wrong as far as like when girls got boyfriends, I
- 26:36Speaker 4: don't know. I've never messed with a married woman. I
- 26:39Speaker 4: believe that God will never forgive me, so I never
- 26:40Speaker 4: do that. But these girls, man, I got boyfriends. I
- 26:44Speaker 4: think boyfriends is super popping and famous and rich and
- 26:48Speaker 4: all that. And he don't even know that you're coming
- 26:51Speaker 4: to see me in his car that he brought you.
- 26:54Speaker 3: So now it's like I don't see the other side
- 26:56Speaker 3: of him.
- 26:57Speaker 4: If this dude's woman can cheat on him, I know
- 27:00Speaker 4: why I can Wellever.
- 27:02Speaker 5: I mean, everyone can cheat on everybody, but it's the
- 27:04Speaker 5: it's the feeling part.
- 27:05Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Let's use an example, and this is not true. It's
- 27:11Speaker 4: given like like like Floyd mayweathers given. You know, if
- 27:14Speaker 4: a girl can guard her and cheat on him, she
- 27:18Speaker 4: gonna definitely get the next Anything's possible what I'm saying.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Right, don't you think there is a certain like there's
- 27:28Speaker 2: a certain headspaces that people are in where they would
- 27:32Speaker 2: behave like that way.
- 27:34Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 27:35Speaker 4: I just noticed that every time I see the girl
- 27:38Speaker 4: on social media, on on different media platforms, they look happy,
- 27:43Speaker 4: like you know what, like a girl would send me
- 27:46Speaker 4: goals and she don't even know. I'm really you know
- 27:51Speaker 4: what I'm saying, I'm messing with her, So stuff like
- 27:54Speaker 4: that is like you can't you can't trust No, you
- 27:57Speaker 4: can't trust these girls.
- 28:00Speaker 2: I mean, you don't have to trust somebody.
- 28:02Speaker 3: I know.
- 28:03Speaker 4: But I'm just saying I'm getting better, like I'm dating better.
- 28:05Speaker 4: I mean, I'm older now, so I've been a little better.
- 28:08Speaker 1: But what what what is something that you feel like
- 28:10Speaker 1: you need in order to trust someone?
- 28:12Speaker 3: A real friend, like real real, like this is my
- 28:14Speaker 3: homie for real.
- 28:15Speaker 2: That's good.
- 28:16Speaker 4: One thing you told me I remember. I don't know
- 28:18Speaker 4: if I said other job or not, but he was
- 28:20Speaker 4: like marriage is hard, right, but it's you can do it,
- 28:26Speaker 4: but you just got to wake up every day choosing
- 28:28Speaker 4: that person. And I'm like, that's real. I'm thinking about that,
- 28:33Speaker 4: Like I can go anywhere I want. I could, but
- 28:35Speaker 4: I gotta choose you. And it's like I gotta do
- 28:37Speaker 4: everything in the right way to do that. So for me,
- 28:40Speaker 4: you gotta be somebody that I like, somebody that's funny,
- 28:42Speaker 4: somebody that's I like to be around.
- 28:45Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. And that's hard to find.
- 28:47Speaker 1: It is hard to find. I mean marriage is a
- 28:49Speaker 1: very difficult thing. I The reason I say that is
- 28:52Speaker 1: because like you can't wake up tomorrow like I'm not
- 28:55Speaker 1: a parent, Like whether even if you weren't involved in
- 28:58Speaker 1: your child, Yes, that's still your son, that's still your
- 29:02Speaker 1: daughter that.
- 29:02Speaker 3: He kiss.
- 29:05Speaker 1: But even still, like even if you weren't involved, you've
- 29:08Speaker 1: been raising them like you denied them. It doesn't matter.
- 29:10Speaker 1: You're still you still made them, you're still their father.
- 29:13Speaker 1: But you can divorce and that's no longer your wife
- 29:16Speaker 1: any second. And you, guys both have to choose to
- 29:20Speaker 1: stay together, even if you fucking hate each other, even
- 29:23Speaker 1: if you're fighting, even if one of you is not
- 29:25Speaker 1: healthy or one of you picked up a terrible habit
- 29:28Speaker 1: like you if you really want to be together for like.
- 29:32Speaker 2: The rest of your life, that's a choice.
- 29:35Speaker 1: It's not and it's not even I think when I
- 29:39Speaker 1: think of commitment now, in a lot of ways, it's
- 29:44Speaker 1: it's scary for all the reasons you're saying, like it's
- 29:46Speaker 1: hard to trust people and in certain spaces if you've
- 29:48Speaker 1: seen too much like I mean, obviously I've seen a
- 29:51Speaker 1: lot of crazy shit too.
- 29:52Speaker 2: I know what people are capable of.
- 29:55Speaker 5: People evil are here, Yeah, they are, they are, and
- 29:59Speaker 5: if you are.
- 30:00Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons why I struggle with relationships.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Is I think that I have a bad I have
- 30:08Speaker 1: a bad ticker. Like the people that I have truly
- 30:12Speaker 1: been really vulnerable with, not all, not all. I've had
- 30:15Speaker 1: some amazing relationships as well, So I won't say all
- 30:18Speaker 1: in anyway. But I have also had been extremely vulnerable
- 30:22Speaker 1: and open with people who were really evil and like that.
- 30:26Speaker 1: It's hard to come back from that because you know
- 30:28Speaker 1: what people are capable of, and you know the feeling
- 30:30Speaker 1: of being being soft with someone who is trying to
- 30:34Speaker 1: destroy you.
- 30:35Speaker 2: That's hard to get over.
- 30:37Speaker 4: So that's why when you ask me these questions, it's like,
- 30:38Speaker 4: it's hard to just date. But I found I'm dating
- 30:42Speaker 4: right now. You know, nice little girl, she nice, nice,
- 30:47Speaker 4: nice personality, she got a job, shot a career.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Good.
- 30:51Speaker 4: Yeah, she educated and graduated, got degrees. Like okay, you
- 30:55Speaker 4: know what I mean, I'll just off the checklist.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Okay.
- 30:58Speaker 4: But it's like, it's funny how we joke about that.
- 31:00Speaker 4: But like ball players don't even ask them questions, what
- 31:04Speaker 4: is it?
- 31:04Speaker 2: What is it?
- 31:04Speaker 1: What that's different from athletes from like, because you've been
- 31:09Speaker 1: around a lot of different types of famous people, what
- 31:11Speaker 1: is different from athletes and like rappers or actors, Like
- 31:17Speaker 1: what is it about a comedians? Like what what is
- 31:20Speaker 1: it with athletes that that separate you guys in the
- 31:23Speaker 1: in the famous.
- 31:25Speaker 4: But as far when you say you separate or its
- 31:27Speaker 4: different like as far as what like like in our
- 31:30Speaker 4: craft or what do you ask.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Me, like how you move?
- 31:33Speaker 3: Oh, I think we all move insane. You know what
- 31:35Speaker 3: I'm saying is like.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I mean, like, okay, so I don't think. So it's
- 31:45Speaker 2: a little different.
- 31:46Speaker 3: What I'm saying is.
- 31:48Speaker 2: We've like I would say.
- 31:49Speaker 1: A lot of athletes get married young or or or
- 31:53Speaker 1: will get married.
- 31:55Speaker 4: Yeah, but like, okay, first of all, we're all gonna
- 31:57Speaker 4: cross and have the same girls. She's in your section today,
- 32:02Speaker 4: and then she's going to be at this rappers tour
- 32:04Speaker 4: and she's gonna be you know what I mean. So
- 32:05Speaker 4: we always mess the same. But the difference is, I
- 32:08Speaker 4: think athletes are held to a higher standard.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Like you to college. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
- 32:13Speaker 3: you're looked at as like a.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Like an ambassador for the city.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Yeah, the billionaire company you're representing that that.
- 32:23Speaker 3: You know, you're a role model.
- 32:25Speaker 4: If I'm a rapper, I could I could say b F,
- 32:28Speaker 4: I could do I could just say that I want
- 32:29Speaker 4: a second middle figure out the any that I want
- 32:32Speaker 4: and it don't matter because you're like your own brainer.
- 32:35Speaker 3: You're your own owner. So it's a little different.
- 32:38Speaker 4: And like you know, you go to college, right and
- 32:40Speaker 4: you play college ball, and you're on TV and then
- 32:43Speaker 4: you have that type of training. You know, were some
- 32:45Speaker 4: of these dudes from rappers that I know some of
- 32:47Speaker 4: my friends, is like they from they from the streets too, right?
- 32:50Speaker 4: But is this they they have to like do nothing different,
- 32:54Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So like, for example, like
- 32:59Speaker 4: a lot of the greats the Goats, right they married though,
- 33:03Speaker 4: like Lebron's, the Hobies, the Jordan you know what I'm saying.
- 33:07Speaker 4: The Peyton Manning Tom Brady, well, you know yeah, but
- 33:12Speaker 4: in like rap like like future Future ain't married eighteen kids.
- 33:17Speaker 4: You know, I get his name, Boots he gotten you
- 33:19Speaker 4: know what you got? Like, It's just it's just different.
- 33:22Speaker 2: It is.
- 33:23Speaker 1: There's a lot of crossover to your point, and even
- 33:26Speaker 1: now I think more than ever because all these different
- 33:28Speaker 1: brands and spaces are coming together.
- 33:30Speaker 2: But that's a that's a good point.
- 33:32Speaker 1: You are, you're coming almost like from a more corporate
- 33:34Speaker 1: space as an athletes, and you have different different expectations.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Speaking of being an athlete, you.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Are, you're nominated come on for the Hall of Fame
- 33:47Speaker 1: list will be cut down to fifty in the coming weeks.
- 33:51Speaker 1: How are you feeling about? I mean, you're going to
- 33:54Speaker 1: go into the Hall of fame.
- 33:56Speaker 2: It's just when. How are you feeling about it?
- 33:59Speaker 3: I feel good. I like the competition.
- 34:03Speaker 4: I think that if you just look at numbers, you
- 34:05Speaker 4: look at how I did it. When I did it,
- 34:08Speaker 4: I got a chance fifteen thousand yards. You know, all
- 34:10Speaker 4: decade running back, all pros and program have all those
- 34:14Speaker 4: Russian titles. Right, A lot of guys that's in the
- 34:17Speaker 4: in the Hall of fame. Someone dos ain't better than me, right,
- 34:21Speaker 4: and and number wise too so but we'll see though.
- 34:25Speaker 4: I mean, they may throw Alma's weight. So I don't
- 34:27Speaker 4: feel bad about it.
- 34:29Speaker 2: But what was your relationship like with the media when
- 34:31Speaker 2: you were playing.
- 34:32Speaker 3: I was good with the media.
- 34:33Speaker 4: I like to meet, I like to talk like the smile,
- 34:35Speaker 4: like the I like to talk shit, you know. So
- 34:37Speaker 4: I was always good with the media. I never like
- 34:40Speaker 4: treat them bad or rejected interviews, you know. And I
- 34:43Speaker 4: never heard from nothing I did. I played bad. I'm
- 34:46Speaker 4: gonna talk about it, you know. Yeah, And but I
- 34:50Speaker 4: think I should get in. I think I will get in.
- 34:52Speaker 2: You're gonna get in.
- 34:53Speaker 4: I don't want to wait too long, because it's like yo,
- 34:55Speaker 4: if I wait too long, I ain't even like you
- 34:57Speaker 4: know what it was the next brother.
- 35:00Speaker 1: They're not going to make you rate that long. It's
- 35:03Speaker 1: what have you thought about, like when you got nominated?
- 35:05Speaker 1: Have you thought about what that's going to feel like? Though?
- 35:09Speaker 1: Because you you have two Super Bowl rings, you are
- 35:12Speaker 1: an all time great, you're in the you know, Philadelphia
- 35:15Speaker 1: Eagles Ring of Honor. Yeah, like so, but this is
- 35:20Speaker 1: the ultimate thing because I remember when Jason, when Jason
- 35:24Speaker 1: was nominated and I knew he was going to be
- 35:27Speaker 1: first ballot, but it's you know, I think for for athletes,
- 35:32Speaker 1: especially when it comes to like the moment of finding
- 35:34Speaker 1: out if you're going to get in or not. And
- 35:37Speaker 1: he's so humble, like he didn't think he was gonna
- 35:39Speaker 1: like of course he's getting in for his spout, but
- 35:40Speaker 1: it doesn't.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Yeah I tell you that, Yeah he did, he did.
- 35:44Speaker 2: He's he but that's how he always is, like he's
- 35:46Speaker 2: that's just how he is.
- 35:48Speaker 1: And part of me is like it it doesn't matter
- 35:50Speaker 1: like you're a Hall of Famer, you're not a Hall
- 35:52Speaker 1: of Famer. I think when it becomes with stories, when
- 35:54Speaker 1: it's like t O where it's like okay, like he
- 35:56Speaker 1: needs to be in, don't don't don't make this a thing.
- 36:00Speaker 1: He is a Hall of Famer. But like, did you
- 36:03Speaker 1: think about what those emotions are gonna be? You're gonna cry.
- 36:05Speaker 4: No, I'm gonna cry, but you knows what's crazy you are. No,
- 36:08Speaker 4: But I ain't think about it like that until Andy
- 36:11Speaker 4: re hit me up, because people just hit me up, yo,
- 36:13Speaker 4: and the stuff you said to me, and I'm like, man,
- 36:16Speaker 4: I always tell people this.
- 36:18Speaker 3: We we love our fans.
- 36:19Speaker 4: I love my fans, you know, but nothing hits you
- 36:22Speaker 4: more when like your peers or or people that you
- 36:25Speaker 4: respect the most.
- 36:26Speaker 3: And Andy hit me.
- 36:27Speaker 4: Up says, hey, hey kid, congrats. He was like, yo, you
- 36:31Speaker 4: deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. He said,
- 36:34Speaker 4: for you to be such a great player and a
- 36:36Speaker 4: great teammate and do things that wasn't expected because coming in,
- 36:40Speaker 4: nobody expected me to be all that.
- 36:42Speaker 3: You you know what I'm saying.
- 36:43Speaker 4: I remember Brian Westbrook was like the guy and it
- 36:47Speaker 4: was all the media was like trashing me, just saying
- 36:49Speaker 4: like I was had like they said, had a little
- 36:51Speaker 4: boy body.
- 36:51Speaker 3: That really that really killed me. That killed you little
- 36:56Speaker 3: boy body.
- 36:57Speaker 5: And I know it because the way you say it, you.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Still remember it, like what but it was crazy, you
- 37:03Speaker 4: like in the weight room, like, yeah, is now I'm
- 37:05Speaker 4: trying to all his workouts. But they asked us, hey man,
- 37:08Speaker 4: you got a lot of you know, missing pieces, you
- 37:10Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, and you kind of refilled them,
- 37:13Speaker 4: but not really. And they said all these different positions,
- 37:15Speaker 4: he said, and you lost Brian Westbrook and Sean mccourty's
- 37:18Speaker 4: and that third he said, all the positions that we
- 37:21Speaker 4: that we just refilled. That's the position I'm least worried about.
- 37:27Speaker 4: And when I was twenty, that hit me, like, damn you,
- 37:31Speaker 4: you're really feeling me. And then when he said it
- 37:34Speaker 4: and he said the same thing for the Hall of Fame,
- 37:37Speaker 4: it touched me because I'm like, yo, if you've seen
- 37:39Speaker 4: all these players, you've seen all these different players, you
- 37:41Speaker 4: had you coach, coach against them, for you to feel
- 37:44Speaker 4: like that about me, that I'm one of the greatest
- 37:45Speaker 4: if you've seen you know that.
- 37:47Speaker 3: That touched me though.
- 37:48Speaker 4: So, I mean, Hall of Fame's gonna come for sure,
- 37:51Speaker 4: and I ain't gonna cry, but I'm definitely going to rejoice.
- 37:54Speaker 2: I cried crazy and I never cried.
- 37:57Speaker 1: I was boohoo, and all the video I'm crying in
- 38:02Speaker 1: the video immediately.
- 38:03Speaker 2: I'll show it to you.
- 38:04Speaker 1: I immediately started crying in the video because it was me, Jason,
- 38:10Speaker 1: his two sons, Tom Garfinkel, president of the Dolphins. Natt
- 38:19Speaker 1: was there too, in a videographer. And you know, the
- 38:23Speaker 1: boys were the boys were like preteens, but like I know,
- 38:32Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they know they watched
- 38:34Speaker 1: him play, but yeah, they know how good he was.
- 38:38Speaker 1: But like to know, like where we came from, what
- 38:42Speaker 1: he went through in college, like what we went through
- 38:44Speaker 1: as kids like him, you know, having to make the
- 38:47Speaker 1: team and get I was there when he got when
- 38:49Speaker 1: he went to the Jets, like him being in in DC,
- 38:52Speaker 1: Like you know, I just I know the injuries, Like
- 38:55Speaker 1: when you know how hard someone works to be included
- 39:01Speaker 1: in the conver like you are forever the one of
- 39:05Speaker 1: the greatest players to ever play. Like that's what the
- 39:08Speaker 1: Hall of Fame means, specifically the NFL Hall of Fame,
- 39:12Speaker 1: so like it ain't they don't have no low standards
- 39:15Speaker 1: for nothing, And.
- 39:16Speaker 4: It's the NFL been around for years. Yeah, you put
- 39:20Speaker 4: me in the Hall of Fame, Like that's.
- 39:23Speaker 2: Your speech is gonna be funny, Yeah, you have to
- 39:26Speaker 2: practice it.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Yeah. I was jason'speech pretty good.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Jason was, yeah, great, he's a great speaker. Yeah, he
- 39:30Speaker 1: had he had a great speech. It was it was
- 39:32Speaker 1: really nice. Who who would you? Who would uh introduce you?
- 39:36Speaker 3: I didn't think of that part yet. Yeah, I ain't
- 39:38Speaker 3: think of that.
- 39:39Speaker 2: He had. Jimmy Johnson.
- 39:41Speaker 3: That's a great one. Damn. That's great.
- 39:44Speaker 1: And that kind of like takes away anyone being mad
- 39:46Speaker 1: about it because.
- 39:47Speaker 2: It's like Jimmy drafted him, you know.
- 39:49Speaker 3: But Jimmy, that's a great one though.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, you have coaches you do it. Yeah, I
- 39:55Speaker 2: think about these things.
- 39:55Speaker 4: Yeah, probably coach uh maybe coach wantstead h shout out.
- 40:00Speaker 4: Coach once said, now you won't see me cry.
- 40:03Speaker 3: I started talking.
- 40:03Speaker 2: About him, Yo, I love Coach One said, ain't.
- 40:06Speaker 3: Nobody burning him though? I got you know, I'm Dave.
- 40:08Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you a call though, because because he
- 40:10Speaker 4: really saved.
- 40:10Speaker 3: My life how she shot make me crow?
- 40:17Speaker 4: So in high school, I was like an all American,
- 40:19Speaker 4: Like I was super cocky, you know, and I remember
- 40:22Speaker 4: what pet would come to see me.
- 40:23Speaker 3: I'm like, come on, Coach Pitt, I'm going to USC,
- 40:26Speaker 3: I'm going to I'm going one on school, you know that.
- 40:29Speaker 4: And I never would deal with him, and then I
- 40:30Speaker 4: get hurt and everything changed with from like seventy eight scholarships,
- 40:34Speaker 4: so I only had like four left and Pitt was
- 40:36Speaker 4: one of them. And coach wan staid, he said, listen,
- 40:39Speaker 4: you're an NFL type of guy, so I can get
- 40:40Speaker 4: you there. And he was like, I want to give
- 40:43Speaker 4: you a chance to regain your name back because they
- 40:45Speaker 4: got so bad.
- 40:45Speaker 3: I committed to Miami in high school. I brought my ankles.
- 40:49Speaker 4: So I went to this prep school to rehab and
- 40:50Speaker 4: get myself back together. And they had another kid going
- 40:53Speaker 4: to Miami running back. Now he was really really good too,
- 40:56Speaker 4: but he won't burying me. But he was burying me
- 40:58Speaker 4: at the time because I'm hurt. And the coach would
- 41:00Speaker 4: coming there and they won't even tell me they was there,
- 41:03Speaker 4: and they would go see him. Now I'm a five
- 41:06Speaker 4: star All America. I'm like, yo, ho can how dare
- 41:08Speaker 4: y'all do me like that? So I said, I ain't
- 41:11Speaker 4: going to Miami, man, y'all playing around. So it's at
- 41:13Speaker 4: Penn State and it was Pitt. I think like Virginia
- 41:17Speaker 4: Tech or somewhere, and then brush, Pieceta, Joe, Pat turn On.
- 41:20Speaker 4: But he just didn't feel like I was a Pitt
- 41:22Speaker 4: State type of guy. I work backwards hats. I told
- 41:26Speaker 4: you I loved fifty cent. I had the fifty cent
- 41:27Speaker 4: jerseys on and all that. You know, I had to
- 41:29Speaker 4: do rags. I ain't like that cool, get it, I
- 41:31Speaker 4: ain't your god.
- 41:32Speaker 3: I get it.
- 41:33Speaker 4: But Wanstead then judge me none of that. They said, Yo,
- 41:36Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you a chance to get your name
- 41:37Speaker 4: back on the visit. I'm lying, I want to a
- 41:40Speaker 4: Penn State visit. And this is why good dads matter.
- 41:44Speaker 4: I said, you know what, patern I'll think I'm this
- 41:46Speaker 4: type of dude. I'm gonna show him I ain't never
- 41:47Speaker 4: been no trouble, you know what I mean? Because he
- 41:49Speaker 4: was saying like he gonna give me extra hours of study,
- 41:52Speaker 4: hall all this crazy stuff. And my mom she wasn't
- 41:54Speaker 4: feeling it. But I said, you know what, I'm.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Anna show him. I'm a good kid.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Right.
- 41:59Speaker 4: My dad's hold up, you told Pitt that you're gonna
- 42:01Speaker 4: give him one more shot, one more visit. He said,
- 42:04Speaker 4: we won't lie. I said, all right, dad, So I
- 42:06Speaker 4: go to Pitt and I loved it. Everybody that was there.
- 42:10Speaker 4: It made me feel like welcome me, embraced me, and
- 42:13Speaker 4: I and I committed there. And then when I came there,
- 42:15Speaker 4: he said, look, you ain't starting yet, but I'm giving
- 42:17Speaker 4: you a chance to get everything you once had before.
- 42:20Speaker 4: And and everything worked out, you know, but one stay
- 42:25Speaker 4: was real with me from day one.
- 42:28Speaker 3: He got a great wife. You know, good dude, man.
- 42:31Speaker 4: I truly because I think about like if I didn't
- 42:34Speaker 4: go to Pitt, or if he ain't give me that chance,
- 42:38Speaker 4: like what would have happened to me?
- 42:40Speaker 3: You know what I mean? People always think of a
- 42:41Speaker 3: success story like oh but shoot.
- 42:46Speaker 4: And then when I was gonna leave, I left. I
- 42:48Speaker 4: only did one year and a half semester pit. So
- 42:51Speaker 4: I did the two seasons and I left because I'm
- 42:53Speaker 4: the prep school. And when I was leaving, he said,
- 42:56Speaker 4: every coach, make me stay like I want you to
- 42:58Speaker 4: stay because that two more years left. He said, you
- 43:01Speaker 4: know what, We're gonna meet with the NFL teams. They
- 43:04Speaker 4: say good things, gonna let you roll. So one of
- 43:05Speaker 4: the NFL teams was kind of like, ah, like he's
- 43:07Speaker 4: gonna be a late late first round there, maybe second round.
- 43:11Speaker 4: And and he said, you know what, you have nothing
- 43:14Speaker 4: left to proven, pit go to the league. Coaches won't
- 43:17Speaker 4: tell you that this ain't LSU, this ain't UH Georgia
- 43:22Speaker 4: where they get all these great players every year. For
- 43:25Speaker 4: him to tell me, and I was like, damn you
- 43:26Speaker 4: you really care about me? Think about He's saying like, yo,
- 43:29Speaker 4: go to go to the NFL, and and I did
- 43:33Speaker 4: and everything. I always think of Coach Watson like, oh,
- 43:36Speaker 4: g really looked out for me, you know.
- 43:38Speaker 2: So, yeah, he's he's a great person.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Yeah, he's He's made an impact on a lot of
- 43:44Speaker 1: people's career. I mean he was. He was big with
- 43:47Speaker 1: Jason too. He was there when Jason UH went into
- 43:50Speaker 1: the into the hall. So he's just the best. Shoutout coach.
- 43:54Speaker 1: We're gonna send him this. Yeah, he's a great person.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Tell us about UH coach Reid.
- 44:00Speaker 4: Mm hm, he's another one. Loves me, Yes he does, nah,
- 44:07Speaker 4: ajre he's special too. I remember when I first talked
- 44:12Speaker 4: to him, He's all right, kid, you gonna come to Philly.
- 44:15Speaker 4: That's when he called me and I was like, yeah,
- 44:16Speaker 4: I'm coming to Philly, coach, and he was just telling me,
- 44:19Speaker 4: you know, I work hard.
- 44:19Speaker 3: This then and the third i'll see you soon.
- 44:21Speaker 4: And I remember meeting him in and I was so excited, right,
- 44:24Speaker 4: and then I remember after the draft stuff and we
- 44:27Speaker 4: got to like real practice.
- 44:29Speaker 3: He ain't talk to me.
- 44:30Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, you're an actor though, because he was
- 44:33Speaker 4: loving me, right, and then I get here and you
- 44:35Speaker 4: ain't even really speak to me.
- 44:36Speaker 3: But he don't talk to rookies. That's his thing. I ain't.
- 44:38Speaker 4: You gotta earn it. So once I like my secon year,
- 44:40Speaker 4: I became really really good. We was tight. Like I'm
- 44:43Speaker 4: talking about he gonna hate me for saying this, but
- 44:46Speaker 4: I used to go to his little his beach house
- 44:47Speaker 4: and hcause he's from LA and I would go to
- 44:50Speaker 4: his I think Santa Monica. I think anyway, I was
- 44:55Speaker 4: hanging out there nights on them. Look, you can go

- 45:07Speaker 4: Aty Reid. He an honest dude, honest. I remember I was.
- 45:11Speaker 4: I started getting cocky again, feeling myself and I did
- 45:14Speaker 4: an interview and I was like dissing all the other
- 45:16Speaker 4: running backs in my draft class. And he called me
- 45:20Speaker 4: up on the office said, hey, what are you doing.

- 46:21Speaker 4: with what's gonna get it done? And I told him
- 46:23Speaker 4: and all that, and I got eighty five percent of
- 46:25Speaker 4: what I wanted and that was it. And I'm like, damn,
- 46:29Speaker 4: I could have been did this, you know, But that's
- 46:31Speaker 4: what type of person he is. Like when Tyreek Hill
- 46:34Speaker 4: left the Chiefs, he need to sit him to anywhere
- 46:36Speaker 4: like they try to send me TOI Kelly try to
- 46:39Speaker 4: send me to Buffalo to die. He said, Yo, I'm
- 46:41Speaker 4: gonna give you a chance where you want to go.
- 46:42Speaker 2: I knew we were gonna get Kelly.
- 46:44Speaker 4: Do you get I'm saying no like that, that's your
- 46:46Speaker 4: roal coach, Like I'm gonna trade you right because the
- 46:48Speaker 4: money we can't pay you.
- 46:49Speaker 3: But look, I want you to be happy. Though. I
- 46:51Speaker 3: respect stuff like that.
- 46:53Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's how you should handle You
- 46:54Speaker 1: can't handle every player like that, but I do think
- 46:57Speaker 1: that's how great players.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, the NFL isn't. It's a business.
- 47:03Speaker 1: I always like whenever we're talking about sport, professional sports specifically,
- 47:07Speaker 1: but even kind of now you know with nil, it's
- 47:09Speaker 1: a lot of college sports, there's no real loyalty, Like
- 47:13Speaker 1: there doesn't need to be that much conversation about loyalty.
- 47:19Speaker 2: But loyalty is very.
- 47:22Speaker 1: Subjective when it comes to professional things, but how you
- 47:25Speaker 1: treat people is not subjective, like the baseline of respect
- 47:31Speaker 1: conversation honestly, Like, I remember there was a situation.
- 47:35Speaker 2: I'm going to kind of butcher the story a little bit.
- 47:37Speaker 1: It's been a while, but it was like the Marlins
- 47:40Speaker 1: owner basically told this player to buy a house and
- 47:44Speaker 1: then the next week traded him. And it's like that
- 47:48Speaker 1: type of shit makes you like that will make me
- 47:51Speaker 1: hate a whole organization because it's like that's unnecessary. You
- 47:55Speaker 1: don't need to do that. You don't need to do that,
- 47:58Speaker 1: Like there's that's that you're going going actually above and
- 48:01Speaker 1: beyond to be a dick, Like you don't have to
- 48:04Speaker 1: tell someone to buy a house. You don't, that's not
- 48:06Speaker 1: your job. You don't need to you don't need to
- 48:09Speaker 1: offer unnecessary assurances. Everybody knows trades happened, things can change,
- 48:14Speaker 1: but for you to like assure someone of something like
- 48:17Speaker 1: that and then do that, like you don't give a
- 48:19Speaker 1: fuck about people. And I think that the most successful organizations, companies, projects,
- 48:26Speaker 1: whatever it is, care about people because yes, everyone's trying
- 48:30Speaker 1: to make money, everyone's trying to be successful, everyone is trying.
- 48:32Speaker 2: To reach goals. We get that, like that the that's
- 48:35Speaker 2: why we got out of bed.
- 48:36Speaker 1: But you don't have to treat people like shit in
- 48:38Speaker 1: order to accomplish great things. Like that's a narrative that
- 48:43Speaker 1: I agree with that it's constantly disproved.
- 48:45Speaker 3: I agree with that. I mean, just treat people the
- 48:48Speaker 3: right way.
- 48:49Speaker 4: Even when I left Philly Man that was that was
- 48:52Speaker 4: crazy because like, I'd like to be honest and straightforward
- 48:56Speaker 4: with somebody, and and I got no bad blove with Chip.
- 48:59Speaker 3: It is what it is. But they gave him so much.
- 49:02Speaker 4: Power, and he's always been like, well, you know, he
- 49:06Speaker 4: loved the idea, and he said something about it, you know,
- 49:09Speaker 4: like he wished it didn't go like that, but he
- 49:12Speaker 4: had the idea of like you know what, he was
- 49:15Speaker 4: so into itself and it's like, yo, everybody's like that.
- 49:18Speaker 4: But the difference is, like we got to work together,
- 49:21Speaker 4: and he hated effective like the Deshaun Jackson right, and
- 49:24Speaker 4: the shady mccooy and the vict he got rid of
- 49:26Speaker 4: it so fast. I'm thinking, like any like right now,
- 49:29Speaker 4: teams would love to have that type of talent. But
- 49:30Speaker 4: you see it now, like now you see where the
- 49:33Speaker 4: Eagles you're trying to get say Kwan with Aj Brown
- 49:35Speaker 4: and Devonte Smith, and then Jalen hurts like that's like
- 49:37Speaker 4: the thing, you know, and like he just hated that
- 49:41Speaker 4: part of like he wanted to be the Chip Kelly
- 49:43Speaker 4: offense or the Chip Kelly Eagles.
- 49:45Speaker 3: So yeah, it didn't work out. But that was crazy.
- 49:49Speaker 4: I remember because because when after the season, like people
- 49:53Speaker 4: they they packed their stuff up, they ship it out.
- 49:55Speaker 4: I ain't never do like I'm gonna be here what
- 49:57Speaker 4: we're talking about, you know what I mean, I'm third
- 49:58Speaker 4: of rushing like I ain't about to man, I'm kicking back.
- 50:01Speaker 3: I see I see y'all next year.
- 50:03Speaker 4: Man, He hey, workout, you need to work out, dog,
- 50:04Speaker 4: you had a bad year. And then and then he
- 50:07Speaker 4: gonna trade me. I couldn't believe it. Drew said, hey, Shady,
- 50:10Speaker 4: he called me. I'm in Miami hanging out. I took
- 50:14Speaker 4: a nap, so all these calls, He's like, Shady, this
- 50:17Speaker 4: is not a joke. It's the first thing Drew said
- 50:19Speaker 4: to me, I'm agent the Eagles or trade you to
- 50:21Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills for a Keiko Alonso. I'm like, who
- 50:27Speaker 4: the fuck is that?
- 50:28Speaker 2: Who?
- 50:28Speaker 3: Who's that? You're playing? You gotta be playing? Who is that?
- 50:31Speaker 3: I had to look him up? Look Ahtim, I'm like,
- 50:33Speaker 3: wait the line the linebacker? Al He's like from Oregon?
- 50:37Speaker 3: Makes sense?
- 50:38Speaker 4: So yeah, So I said, all right, I hang up
- 50:40Speaker 4: Boom because he was still talking. I was like, bag
- 50:42Speaker 4: hang up on him, and I called I think I
- 50:46Speaker 4: called the owner and then I called Then I called Chip.
- 50:48Speaker 4: I was blown chip up. He never entered. I leave
- 50:52Speaker 4: any messages and all that because I couldn't believe it,
- 50:54Speaker 4: Like what and that's how that That's how that trade went.
- 50:57Speaker 4: It's so crazy. Rex Ryan was the head coach for
- 51:01Speaker 4: the Bills when I got to the Bills. Now, they
- 51:03Speaker 4: gave me that paper though, so I get it.
- 51:05Speaker 3: I get it. I get to the Bills.
- 51:07Speaker 4: I'm like, what happened with the trader? On how to happen?
- 51:10Speaker 4: He said, Shady. It was the fastest trade I've ever
- 51:12Speaker 4: had in my life.
- 51:14Speaker 3: I'm like, what you mean? He said?
- 51:15Speaker 4: The Eagles called, was like, hey, are you guys? Interested
- 51:18Speaker 4: in shady. He's like, yeah, but he said, you know what,
- 51:22Speaker 4: not really, he says, we think they're gonna ask for
- 51:24Speaker 4: arm and the leg in the head and some toes.
- 51:26Speaker 3: He's gonna ask me everything, he said.
- 51:29Speaker 4: They said, uh no, we like keeck Alonso, he said,
- 51:34Speaker 4: and they were all quiet on swearphone.
- 51:35Speaker 3: Like and that was it. And they said it was
- 51:41Speaker 3: like deal and that was it. He was that fast,
- 51:45Speaker 3: he said, So that's how that trade went.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Do you feel like you now that you're retired, now
- 51:52Speaker 1: that you're on the other side of things, now that
- 51:53Speaker 1: you're covering sport and you're seeing just the other side
- 51:58Speaker 1: of it and your career is done, it gonna be
- 52:00Speaker 1: a Hall Famer.
- 52:00Speaker 3: And all that.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Do you still hold grudges that you thought that you
- 52:04Speaker 1: would hold forever?
- 52:07Speaker 2: Are you more forgiving now?
- 52:09Speaker 3: I'm more forgiving now.
- 52:10Speaker 4: I spoke to mister Lord, the Eagles owner, and he
- 52:12Speaker 4: was saying that that was part of the worst thing
- 52:15Speaker 4: he's ever done, right, And he was like, the problem
- 52:17Speaker 4: is though, when they got chipped, they gave him so
- 52:21Speaker 4: much power, like we gotta get you from Oregon.
- 52:24Speaker 3: Yeah, so everything he asked for they gave me.
- 52:26Speaker 4: And he said, I'm not thinking that you're gonna take
- 52:28Speaker 4: our most viable player on the squad because at this
- 52:31Speaker 4: time my Jersey sales is like top five and like
- 52:34Speaker 4: the last three years, so you know, he said, I'm
- 52:36Speaker 4: not thinking that. Yeah, And that year I was first
- 52:39Speaker 4: in Russian. In the year they traded me, I was
- 52:41Speaker 4: a third in Russian. So it's like, I'm not thinking that,
- 52:43Speaker 4: And he said. He gave him pushback like, well, if
- 52:46Speaker 4: it's not, you know the way that you guys told
- 52:48Speaker 4: me that I'm gonna leave the head coach, so puts
- 52:50Speaker 4: the owner in a tough situation. And he said that
- 52:54Speaker 4: another scenario happened like this before or after me. We're
- 52:57Speaker 4: bringing Graham. This is a downer, told me right, And because
- 53:01Speaker 4: I was still mad at him, I can't lie. I
- 53:02Speaker 4: was pissed, like, dude, I ain't trying to hear all
- 53:04Speaker 4: that you're telling me. But when we talked face to face,
- 53:07Speaker 4: and I could see in his eyes how so sire
- 53:09Speaker 4: he was. And he meant that he was like Brandon Graham,
- 53:12Speaker 4: who was going on to sixteenth years of Eagle, sixteen
- 53:15Speaker 4: years straight with Eagle. They people love him in Philly.
- 53:19Speaker 4: He said, Chip want to trade him. He said, hold up, Nope,
- 53:22Speaker 4: I did this before with Shady. I'm not doing this again.
- 53:25Speaker 4: And me and Brandon ain't. That's my boy, ain't. We
- 53:27Speaker 4: like were different player wise, you know what I mean. So,
- 53:30Speaker 4: but it just shows you the fact that it hurt
- 53:34Speaker 4: him the first time around. Yeah, so, even a less
- 53:38Speaker 4: player as far as like statistics and all that, I'm
- 53:41Speaker 4: not gonna let you get him because Brandon meant a
- 53:44Speaker 4: lot to the team and etcetera, to the community and
- 53:45Speaker 4: all that, and he didn't do it and he got
- 53:48Speaker 4: trip out of there.
- 53:49Speaker 3: That's the truth.
- 53:51Speaker 1: Well, it seems like he and that the whole organization
- 53:54Speaker 1: is really uh grounded.
- 53:58Speaker 4: Yeah, so got one of the best organizations in the league.
- 54:02Speaker 4: The ownership of his family, his sons, his wife, Howie
- 54:06Speaker 4: Rose in the gym, the Nicks around, the whole the
- 54:09Speaker 4: whole platform, the whole thing is all that security. Do
- 54:15Speaker 4: Listen real quick, shoutout big big Dom. Without shootog, A
- 54:20Speaker 4: lot of these players wouldn't be out here because it'll
- 54:23Speaker 4: be times when you so mad the coach or this
- 54:25Speaker 4: and that I would call Dom no dond nothing about no,
- 54:29Speaker 4: no running back sweeper, no you know, hand or him,
- 54:32Speaker 4: none of that but he was there to help us
- 54:34Speaker 4: out and talk because we were young, and he would
- 54:35Speaker 4: talk to us and calm us down, you know, and
- 54:37Speaker 4: show us how to be a professional.
- 54:39Speaker 3: Don was listen. I love Don and Don like sisters.
- 54:43Speaker 2: Yeah, no one is surprised by.
- 54:48Speaker 3: But Donald was. Don was great though great.
- 54:50Speaker 2: Surprised by that? What uh? What is this?
- 54:53Speaker 1: What is a safe big dom story? Because I know,
- 54:56Speaker 1: because I know you got.
- 54:57Speaker 3: Some, there's no any safe.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Dom is not going to tell any stories.
- 55:02Speaker 1: I try to get a story out of Dom at
- 55:04Speaker 1: your uh at your event, and he was like, no.
- 55:07Speaker 3: Yeah, uh a safe down store safe.
- 55:14Speaker 1: I think the fact that you can't think of anything.
- 55:16Speaker 2: I can think nothing safe. But explain this.
- 55:21Speaker 1: Then to people who don't understand the role of like
- 55:24Speaker 1: team security.
- 55:25Speaker 4: I got a safe one. I do have a safe one.
- 55:27Speaker 4: This ain't that bad. I'm like twenty one, twenty two.
- 55:32Speaker 4: I drive fast, got nice cars. I'm know I'm young,
- 55:35Speaker 4: and I don't know if I was like my Bentley
- 55:37Speaker 4: or whatever was in Benz or something. But I was
- 55:39Speaker 4: getting all these speaking tickets and they took my license right.
- 55:43Speaker 3: But then.
- 55:46Speaker 4: You can so you can drive. It's some type of
- 55:50Speaker 4: program something you can drive for work, right, but then
- 55:53Speaker 4: I kept getting caught speeding like damn, I keep damn,
- 55:58Speaker 4: something held in some way. This is years and years ago,
- 56:01Speaker 4: so don key and trust years ago. I don't even
- 56:04Speaker 4: know if Dom did it.
- 56:06Speaker 5: Okay, how about that.
- 56:08Speaker 2: Hit that on?
- 56:09Speaker 3: I don't know how I got I don't know. I'm
- 56:10Speaker 3: not saying Dom did it, but I'm just thinking.
- 56:13Speaker 4: And listen, Philly, I got pulled over, right, and and
- 56:17Speaker 4: lady's trying to find I gave my license registration on it,
- 56:21Speaker 4: and it don't say that my life is suspended, but
- 56:23Speaker 4: she's just looking so hard like something will add up.
- 56:27Speaker 3: But what didn't add up? Well, listen, lady.
- 56:29Speaker 4: They might have said off suspended, but then it's not
- 56:31Speaker 4: seeing them suspend it. So I had my license was
- 56:33Speaker 4: basically violid, like it was fixed somehow. God is good though,
- 56:42Speaker 4: and I'm praying a lot, so i'm Dom did it.
- 56:46Speaker 3: But I remember saying something.
- 56:48Speaker 4: Dollar starts smiling a man drive safe for smile and
- 56:50Speaker 4: me like, all right, I'm sure it will, but that
- 56:52Speaker 4: it was less now because it helped me drive better.
- 56:54Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't speed anyone, no, no, no, no, no more.
- 56:57Speaker 2: Speeding is silly.
- 56:59Speaker 3: Uh, that's safe though, right, that ain't crazy.
- 57:02Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I'm sure Dom had nothing to do with it,
- 57:04Speaker 1: of course, of course not we I mean obviously we
- 57:09Speaker 1: worked together for three years, four years, four years, four years.
- 57:15Speaker 1: What was your first impression of me? Because I have
- 57:17Speaker 1: a funny, shitty story of like when we first started
- 57:20Speaker 1: working together, what was your first impression of me?
- 57:23Speaker 3: No, he was always he was solid like he was.
- 57:26Speaker 3: But see, I already knew you though.
- 57:28Speaker 2: Because yeah, we knew each other.
- 57:30Speaker 4: Yeah before my brother in the school and you did
- 57:31Speaker 4: my homeboy, you know what I mean, he went to
- 57:33Speaker 4: school with shooting that.
- 57:34Speaker 3: He was always solid. You was always cool. I thought
- 57:38Speaker 3: she was cute.
- 57:38Speaker 4: I thought she was cool, right, I thought she was
- 57:40Speaker 4: like you know what, your mammy of the cute homegirl
- 57:43Speaker 4: that hang out with all the homies.
- 57:45Speaker 3: Everybody has that, like like.
- 57:48Speaker 4: Like every girl can't hang out with the homies, right
- 57:52Speaker 4: because dude's like yo, man, we tired of her over here,
- 57:55Speaker 4: Like I remember at that my Hall of Fame, you
- 57:57Speaker 4: came and people that didn't know it's like, yo, Julie Taylor,
- 58:01Speaker 4: cool as hell, like you was sitting there with the
- 58:03Speaker 4: boys chilling. So that was like my first impression like, dang,
- 58:07Speaker 4: you got that around the Way girl.
- 58:10Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, what's that song with jay
- 58:12Speaker 3: Loo say, cool J.
- 58:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna claim that cool J one that's around the world. No,
- 58:18Speaker 1: but I mean like that, yeah, I know what you're
- 58:19Speaker 1: talking about. But he was he was cool though. I
- 58:22Speaker 1: was like, okay, okay.
- 58:25Speaker 3: The only thing I don't like that.
- 58:26Speaker 4: Jordandan' do though, real talk, You ain't put me on
- 58:29Speaker 4: none of your homies though, And I know they was like.
- 58:31Speaker 3: Yo, what's up with the bull shady?
- 58:32Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, you weren't in a
- 58:34Speaker 1: good headspace at the time that they were requesting.
- 58:38Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying, Like, you ain't throw no Ali Hoops,
- 58:40Speaker 4: no way, Lebron, none of that, none of that Kobe
- 58:43Speaker 4: fucking Shack, no Pippins or nothing.

- 58:54Speaker 3: this off the backboard.
- 58:54Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, well I'm open like that.

- 59:01Speaker 2: to the city.

- 59:05Speaker 1: and I didn't want to put you know, I'm just
- 59:08Speaker 1: very particular about hooking people up. I got to make
- 59:11Speaker 1: sure everybody is in the right headspace. I'm not about
- 59:16Speaker 1: to be responsible for however it's about to turn out.
- 59:19Speaker 1: You know, I want I want everyone to be optimized
- 59:22Speaker 1: for success.
- 59:22Speaker 3: Oh what you're trying like like a wife or something?
- 59:26Speaker 2: Yeah? What else would be what we just talked about?
- 59:29Speaker 2: You have a problem in the other areas?
- 59:31Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm talking about talking about I need a
- 59:34Speaker 4: good girl, like like a friend.

- 59:59Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to wanting like this.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: Hit your spot.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: So when when Shadey and I first started doing the
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: show together, because we didn't know each other a little
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: bit before, but we started from doing the show together. Uh,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: we we were doing some topic. I can't remember what
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: it was, I can't remember it was, but we were
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: we were going out a little bit. Could we kind
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: of used to go at it on that show.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: I'm going with you.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Not we did. We did in the beginning. Oh no,
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: we had, oh no, one time one time. I can't
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: remember what we were talking about, but you came though.
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: We were going. I said, my.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: Dog enjoyed that, and Shady got he got.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: He felt a little bit type of worry about how
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: the how the segment went, and I could tell because
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I'm o G. So I was like, uh, shade, Shady,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: I'm off talk to Shady. And I think it was
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: the next day. I was like, yeah, let me let
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: me rapish you a little bit. I was like, I'm
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: not if I get like that, I'm not coming at you.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: I'm coming at your opinion.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: But now I don't think we had it wasn't like
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: nothing bad, but you did.
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: She was like, Okay, yeah, that's it.
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: That's because that's the name of the game. Cool.
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: You got me cool back. So now I'm like, okay,
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: that's what we're own now. So I was all right.
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: So everything was defensively our beat. So we worked it out.
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: We only had one incident. That was only one.
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was good after that. He was good
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: after that. That's remember that I do because I don't.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: That's how I am.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Like if I if there's a problem, I'm going to
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: address the problem. I'm not like, let's like let it
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: sort out or I don't need to explain myself. The
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: ego ship is what kills all kinds of situations. And
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: it wasn't no, it wasn't ego on your part. It
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: was like one, you know, I got a mouthpiece. So
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: if you don't really know that I'm not coming, I'm
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: not really coming for you.
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: I mean you feel that way, and.
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: Guard I was like, oh oh oh, I wish I
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: could remember what the topic.
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: But you know what, though, this is what I will
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: say because I see a lot of you know, females
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: is on TV all that I say, Yo, a lot
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: of them girls that they they can't touch joy Like
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: I see women and I'm not judging them because it's
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: a hard sport.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: It's hard for dudes.
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: But some of the women that they dance around questions,
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: they make it sound good.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: You could tell that the producers.
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: Throwing them a lot of stuff and they just adding
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: on to it. And it's like, because men don't really
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: know unless you really work with a woman, you get
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And like years ago Cam Newton made
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: that statement. I think it was Kelly.
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: What was her name?
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: What was the girl that he says something about he's
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: laughing at she was making opinions. Yeah, he hadn't really
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: worked with him, he still plans. He don't get it.
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: But when you sit down there and every day we
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: talk about sports, you learn, oh damn, she know what
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: she's talking about.
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: Or you can tell she got a football background. You
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: get what I'm saying.
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: And a lot of girls now I see on TV
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: not that say anything about them, but I'm like, yo,
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: they can't touch joy because I work with a girl
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: that was you in there with football players and dudes
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: that got egos and dudes that is not scared to
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: speak their mind, and you hold your own and you
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: not dancing around questions to make it sound you know,
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: cause I could talk about I don't know a lot
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: about tennis, but listen you, I can talk around like
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: you like think I know, you.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: Know what I mean. And I see a lot of
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: girls do that.
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: And I'm like, it's crazy, cause now I noticed the
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: difference because I work with one. It was really really
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: really really really good. So I know the difference. Does
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: that make sense what I'm saying?
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: Thank you?
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: Nah, real talk.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: We had a we had a good show.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: It it's a it's a whole different world now, but yeah,
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: we had a we had a good time, and the
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: super Bowl was fun too.
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: I love my time earlier. I don't lie like men
- 1:03:48Speaker 4: than him talk about what I had a blast though,
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: Yeah you know what I mean. And it's my first
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: time being outside of like football on the field, but
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: it felt like football.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: Again.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: It felt it has a doing I think doing sports
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: opinion television specifically, like doing some shows doesn't really feel
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: like a locker room, Like if you're you're doing like
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: analysts work and stuff like that, like it doesn't have
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: the same energy. But when you're prepping for a show
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: like the show that we did, that environment is very
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: much like a locker room not locker room talk, but
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: but kind of like yeah, like you just you you
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: you have to kind of warm up, So the meetings
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: are like a sort of a warm up for what
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: the show will be. So it'll be you know, some
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: crazy high jinks from the weekends, or you know, stopping
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: the meeting to watch the high speed chase or something
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: like that's that. That to me, I think, is why
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: so many players enjoy getting into that space after after sports,
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: because and there aren't that many of them. And it
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: also like really, you know, the the chemistry and the
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: environment matters.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: But yeah, that's it is. It is kind of like
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: a lot.
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: Your dress room was still today with the best duds
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: fom I've ever been in. I don't know if you
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: guys get counseling, but it was like a counseling type environment,
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: like you got carpets.
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: You got candles lit and all that. I listen.
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: I could never go in her room, but I would
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: ask like the wardrobe people like yo, Dan enjoying.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: Her Hey, look grab her blanket.
- 1:05:32Speaker 4: Give you a little nap, you know what I'm saying,
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: Like you had all that little snacks fruit.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: I mean almost ten years. It was like an apartment.
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: I believe that.
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: It was very cozy, like a nice, comfortable, zan quiet place.
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: It was my room like that my dress room.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: I mean yours was like a dorm room.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: Yeah. Yo.
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: It was funny because when I was leaving, when I
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: left Fox and all that, hey shitty, do you want

- 1:07:36Speaker 1: lot happened that weekend and it was not part of
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: it was nothing to do with you. And I will
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: tell you the story, not on camera because it's very
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: traumatizing for me.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: But actually, think I told you what happened that weekend.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Oh it was crazy young early journalist stuff. Had nothing
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: to do with Shady.

- 1:07:57Speaker 3: the game in a party.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: Yeah it.

- 1:08:00Speaker 2: She was occupied.
- 1:08:04Speaker 5: Time.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: But yeah, I covered your softball tournament. That was Oh
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: my god, that was so long ago. That it was so
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: long ago.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: But you've been doing a lot in the in the community.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: You always do.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: Where do you get your philanthropy aside from.
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: I think it's uh I'm just really thankful, you know.
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: Always sometimes at home when I'm like by myself, I
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: look at my my kids and how they are super
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: super intelligent, you know, beautiful daughter and handsome son, and
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: you know, I look at my parents and I heard
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: the stories of how they grew up right and this
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: and that and and I played with a lot of
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: players right high school and Little League college, and I
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: was like, dang, like all these people, God bless me.
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: I always think of that, like he pecked me, so
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: I'll be so thankful.
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: And I always wanted to like help out, you know,
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: the next different kids and just show them something different,
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: you know. And I feel like I owe him that,
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: you know, because I do affordable houses houses and basically
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: you know, people that can't enforce her homes, the government
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: helps out. And when I go into these living situations now,
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: it's weird because when I was younger, like the projects
- 1:09:22Speaker 4: was the projects. But as a kid, you ain't even
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: know what that really meant, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:09:27Speaker 4: I would I didn't live in the project, but I
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: would go down the street to the projects to hang out
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: with him because that's all the fun was at Like
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: the bad stuff, and then like, you know, all the
- 1:09:33Speaker 4: funk was there, and as a kid, you don't even
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: know about pissy hallways and this and that and drug
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: infested areas and homeless you don't even know about that.
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: And then you get older you learn like, damn, this
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: is where he's from. Oh wow, this is where she
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: grow up at. Oh oh, that's the ah she got.
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: She she gotta go against or he got to go against.
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: And it always hit me though, So I said, you
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: know what, when I when I when I get on like,
- 1:09:58Speaker 4: I'm gonna help some of these because kids out that
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: didn't have the right environment they grew up in, Like
- 1:10:04Speaker 4: I grew up in the hood, but I had my mom,
- 1:10:06Speaker 4: my dad had an older brother, So like I couldn't
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: get in trouble because my dad wasn't on that.
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: I don't care.
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: I don't care what was going on, you know what
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: I'm saying. So I would hang up with homies. I
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: was like, real, there was badass kids. I don't hang
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: out on was. I loved them and that was kind
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: of a badass kid a little bit with them, but
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: I knew the boundaries I can't step over because I
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: know at home, my dad ain't you're talking about the cops.
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: They man my dad, the cops and blood to me,
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: my homies didn't have that, so they stepped over them
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: boundaries and they did other things and learning. How like
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: some of my good friends were, I'm learning how to
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: play football. My dad's teaching me how to ride a
- 1:10:45Speaker 4: bike and he's doing and they don't have a dad,
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: and they learning how to cook up coke from their
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: older brother because there's no dad in the crib and
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: the mom was working.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: Like stuff like that.
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: It makes me emotional, you know, because people don't even
- 1:10:58Speaker 4: know that side of the world.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: It's crazy. Up to some super rich ass.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: People that your friends were, You're like, yo, you don't
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: even know this side of the world anyway. So I
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: think my generosity comes from that, Like yo, I old
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: a youth that where now I'm building stuff and kids
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: see it like they don't even know it's affordable. They
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: can't wait to get in the buildings, you know what
- 1:11:17Speaker 4: I mean. I shit be all praying new I'm giving
- 1:11:19Speaker 4: marble floor. I'm getting the bang, you know, and it
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: makes me feel good. It makes me feel good, like
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: I like I scored a winning touchdown because I'm saving
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: some kids. Now, not only am I saving them, I'm
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: giving them jobs. Yeah, young and you ain't.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: Got to go to the pros.
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: But I got sure I get some paper the legit way.
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: So a lot of that is and that's something that's
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: my mom and my dad too. My mom is a
- 1:11:44Speaker 4: real giver. I remember when I was a kid. She's
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: always she'd be the type of mind where if my
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: boys are coming over and they're like the best family,
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: she will like give them some of my clothes, or
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: give them some money, or she would feed everybody. So
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: I kind of I got something that from my mom's
- 1:12:01Speaker 4: But I got a good team, good foundation, man, good
- 1:12:04Speaker 4: group of people that care about service in their community.
- 1:12:07Speaker 4: You know, it's not about me, me me. You know
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: that's why they won't leave home like they love it.

- 1:15:19Speaker 1: that we had as as an institution at in that
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: building because, believe me, I understand he sounds insane, but

- 1:15:36Speaker 1: We love Mariah. But you can't say Aretha Franklin is regular.

- 1:15:57Speaker 3: in fact.

- 1:16:20Speaker 4: I put Mariah on first, I put Whitney on second.

- 1:16:46Speaker 1: If I'm not fighting back the way that you want
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: me to, it's because I've I've fought in this conversation.
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: That's true. She talked me for like two weeks because
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: of it. I was like, Joyce should keep walking.

- 1:17:04Speaker 1: I still don't know how I don't have gray hairs
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: from that Aretha Franklin conversation. I promise you, I argued

- 1:17:32Speaker 1: why is it that men tend to criticize women commentators
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: harsher than a man commentator.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: Well, I'm not a man, despite which you may have heard, and.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: I don't really like to speak about things from a
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: perspective I don't understand, so I will only speak about
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: this from the perspective that I have experienced.
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: I think that women.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: Are held to a higher standard than men, especially in
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: spaces that are considered traditionally for men, whether it be
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: sports or politics or news, spaces that are the boys club.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: Women in those spaces get held music, those spaces get held.
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: For men, and when there are women there, there.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Is this expectation that they have to be superior to
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: the men in order to even be in that space,
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: or they got into that space from some salacious way.
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: They're criticized harder.
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: Than the men because those fan bases tend to be
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: heavily mail as well. And let's just be honest, the
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: world and particularly these spaces are extremely misogynistic and it's
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: not a welcoming, safe space for women. So there is
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: an expectation that a woman has to be an expert,
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: that she's there just because she wants to be on
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: television or she just wants to be seen. There's all
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: these different criterias and criticisms that women face that men
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: don't face, and you know, the bottom line is is
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: just misogyny.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: These are boys clubs.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: These are spaces that men feel women shouldn't be in,
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: and when they're listening to a woman, it's like it's
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: a space that they feel is sacred to men. So
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: there really is no like deep philosophical explanation for it.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: It's just that there are certain men who believe that
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: some spaces are reserved just for men, and that women
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: being there is an affront to a space that they
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: feel like they own, and because of that, women are
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: criticized more harshly than men. And before you get started,
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: men are also criticized, but we know they are criticized
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: in a completely different way than women are criticized. If
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: you have any confusion about this, you are welcome to
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: check out any of my social media posts ever posted
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: and go read the comments on such. It will change
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: your life, not for the positive, however, it may enlighten you.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: Men are not spoken to in that way. They are
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: not criticized in that way they are, they're not ridiculed
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: in that way. Their bodies are not picked apart. It's
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: just it's not the same thing. And it's just because
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: it's a misogynistic space that men feel are held is
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: held for them. So it's not fair, but life isn't fair.
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: And what I say to a lot of women who
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: are going into these male dominated spaces is that.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you do have to be better.
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: You have to be on time, you have to be superior,
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: You have to be more talented, you have to study more,
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: you have to be more of everything in order to
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: just get into the space, but in order to stay
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: in the space, you have to be better at all
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: times because there is an expectation of you that is
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: not levied in the same way that is for the men.
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: It's just, at the end of the day, misogyny. It's
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: others to it. Thanks to the.
