- 1:20Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, so pac Man, what are you getting real
- 1:23Speaker 2: about this week? During Super Bowl?
- 1:25Speaker 5: If I had my own outreach of what I would
- 1:29Speaker 5: like to get real about would be mental health.
- 1:34Speaker 4: I deal with bipolar.
- 1:36Speaker 5: My family dealt with my like my mom has been
- 1:39Speaker 5: taken bipolar medicine forever and never even fucking told me,
- 1:43Speaker 5: you know what I.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Mean, Like, hey, bro, I'm dealing with this.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Maybe you might be dealing with this suit right And
- 1:49Speaker 5: I come from a crazy background with my dad being
- 1:53Speaker 5: killed in front of me, like right in front of me,
- 1:56Speaker 5: like right here, he's right there, and like I do
- 2:00Speaker 5: with a lot of mental things that I didn't realize
- 2:02Speaker 5: what I was dealing with until I finally like asked her, like, yo, mom,
- 2:06Speaker 5: do you have any issues? Should they? What do you
- 2:09Speaker 5: mean by issues? And I'm like, do you have anything
- 2:13Speaker 5: that you take medicine for or you deal with? She's like, yeah, Bro,
- 2:17Speaker 5: I'm by polo. I'm like at this point, I'm twenty
- 2:21Speaker 5: two years old. Like as a parent, like if you're
- 2:25Speaker 5: dealing with something I think you should least hell the
- 2:27Speaker 5: audacity to tell your son, hey, look, you know sixty
- 2:35Speaker 5: percent of your family is by polar wow. And but
- 2:40Speaker 5: make a long story short. I had a chance to
- 2:43Speaker 5: go to McClain hospital because I want to check myself
- 2:45Speaker 5: in to really figure out was I or was I not?
- 2:49Speaker 4: What am I dealing with? I is it anger? Is
- 2:52Speaker 4: it not? Anger? And I went and I stayed in Boston.
- 2:57Speaker 5: My wife's stayed at a hotel right down the street
- 3:00Speaker 5: because I like checked myself in and like not they
- 3:04Speaker 5: patient and.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Came back. I was a bipolar.
- 3:10Speaker 5: So my whole thing is like, if I had to
- 3:13Speaker 5: express something to someone, First of all, don't be scared
- 3:17Speaker 5: to tell somebody what you're dealing with. Second of all,
- 3:21Speaker 5: it's way more people that's dealing with stuff that you
- 3:23Speaker 5: can ever even imagine. And for our community, as the
- 3:29Speaker 5: black people, like be open and honest to your kids
- 3:33Speaker 5: about what you're dealing with, because, like I truly think
- 3:38Speaker 5: if my mom would have told me that when I
- 3:40Speaker 5: was fourteen, fifteen, ten, nine eight, or sent me somewhere,
- 3:46Speaker 5: like a lot of things I went through, I want
- 3:48Speaker 5: to win through. And it's cool to talk about wins
- 3:52Speaker 5: and losses Like that's cool, Like you're gonna have.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Some wins, You're gonna have some losses.
- 3:58Speaker 5: But like, that's what I would talk about if if
- 4:00Speaker 5: I had one main objective to talk about while I'm
- 4:04Speaker 5: at Super Bowl, it would be to the parents and
- 4:07Speaker 5: the kids. It's saying, like, hey, bro, it's cool to
- 4:10Speaker 5: have a scrink, it's cool to talk to somebody, It's
- 4:14Speaker 5: cool to open up and be vulnerable. And it took
- 4:18Speaker 5: me a little while to figure that out. But where
- 4:21Speaker 5: I'm at in my life right now, like I got
- 4:23Speaker 5: three unbelievable kids, and they are all superstars because I
- 4:32Speaker 5: had a chance to, like, yo, talk you to them. Yeah,
- 4:36Speaker 5: and have them talk to other people too though, Like
- 4:39Speaker 5: you get what I'm saying. Yeah, Like y'all need to
- 4:41Speaker 5: get checked out too to make sure because I'm not the.
- 4:43Speaker 6: Expert having an honest conversation with your family members. Is
- 4:47Speaker 6: how as a family unit, you guys can help each
- 4:50Speaker 6: other get through these things.
- 4:51Speaker 4: Yes.
- 4:51Speaker 6: So the thing is you've been able to identify that
- 4:54Speaker 6: with your situation with your mom and your family and
- 4:57Speaker 6: then take that lesson so that you can kind of
- 5:00Speaker 6: be the change.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Yes.
- 5:01Speaker 2: So that's that's that's that's huge. Yeah, what are you
- 5:04Speaker 2: getting real about rock this week?
- 5:06Speaker 6: Look, I think I think for me, it's just uh,
- 5:09Speaker 6: embracing the unknown. You know, we've had a big transformation,
- 5:12Speaker 6: yeah going on. I think everyone's kind of how we
- 5:15Speaker 6: all feel similar to that and understanding that, like that
- 5:18Speaker 6: next step, you just gotta take it and trust in
- 5:21Speaker 6: your cold beliefs of what you can do and take
- 5:24Speaker 6: that next step and whatever direction that is for anybody.
- 5:27Speaker 2: If I could get real with people to.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Say, listen, if you don't know, you don't know what
- 5:30Speaker 6: that next step is, but just know that you can
- 5:33Speaker 6: figure that next step out.
- 5:34Speaker 2: You'll always figure it out. It's crazy, I think everyone who.
- 5:40Speaker 5: Because you get my random situations and nobody say what
- 5:44Speaker 5: we can't do?
- 5:45Speaker 2: That's it? So yeah, that's that's it. Well, No, I
- 5:48Speaker 2: think that's a really important thing. You cannot take anyone
- 5:53Speaker 2: else's word for it. You know you have to do
- 5:57Speaker 2: what you know you can do. So, so, what's the
- 5:59Speaker 2: biggest thing you ever had to overcome?
- 6:02Speaker 5: I say, i'mnna send my dad getting killed right in
- 6:04Speaker 5: front of it. I'm seven years old. I'm talking about
- 6:08Speaker 5: It's like a watermelon and bustart right up and in
- 6:10Speaker 5: front of you.
- 6:12Speaker 2: In crowd of bake.
- 6:16Speaker 5: I'm to a point now where I can talk about
- 6:17Speaker 5: it like you cool, Like that's what we're doing this for,
- 6:23Speaker 5: because I'm not the only kid that's done went through this.
- 6:25Speaker 5: It's somebody else that's going through this that might need.
- 6:27Speaker 4: To hear this.
- 6:30Speaker 5: It was hard. I ain't gonna lie, and I kept
- 6:33Speaker 5: a lot of anger when it comes to seeing that.
- 6:39Speaker 5: It almost how I thought about it was all right,
- 6:44Speaker 5: I'm gonna win by any mean necessary.
- 6:47Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck what it is.
- 6:48Speaker 5: I'm talking about fighting, punching, shooting, whatever it is.
- 6:55Speaker 4: I'm ana I'm gonna win.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Like in my family, bro, Like my dad died at
- 7:01Speaker 5: twenty one years old, my uncle died at nineteen years old.
- 7:06Speaker 5: My other uncle died at twenty one years twenty two.
- 7:11Speaker 5: Like I'm the first male on my dad's side of
- 7:14Speaker 5: the family that's done lived to see forty years old. Wow, untivnually,
- 7:20Speaker 5: I like when I was growing up, and it's crazy,
- 7:24Speaker 5: like we're having this conversation right now. Nobody well I've
- 7:28Speaker 5: said it probably once or twice, but nobody on my
- 7:32Speaker 5: male side of the family besides me on my dad's side,
- 7:37Speaker 5: that lived to see twenty two years old.
- 7:39Speaker 4: So I was very violent. I ain't gonna lie to y'all.
- 7:42Speaker 4: I'm violent.
- 7:43Speaker 5: I'm like, I believe that I don't give a fuck
- 7:45Speaker 5: whatever happens. I'm gonna make sure that I live to
- 7:48Speaker 5: see twenty two, twenty three, my twenty first birth birthday
- 7:53Speaker 5: with my wife. She'll like, you want to go out? Nah,
- 7:57Speaker 5: we ain't going out of nowhere. She's like, I don't
- 7:59Speaker 5: want to go out twenty two.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Story, like.
- 8:05Speaker 5: Everybody's in my family have not reached the sea twenty
- 8:10Speaker 5: two years old.
- 8:11Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 8:12Speaker 4: I'm cool.
- 8:14Speaker 2: How hell are you now?
- 8:15Speaker 4: Forty two? I know?
- 8:16Speaker 2: Can you believe it?
- 8:18Speaker 4: The current?
- 8:19Speaker 6: There's some stories between twenty one and forty two.
- 8:22Speaker 2: He doubled up. Can you relate to this rock and
- 8:26Speaker 2: in any ways from your and I feel like that's pretty.
- 8:29Speaker 2: It's intense, and I think everyone has their own journey,
- 8:32Speaker 2: you know.
- 8:33Speaker 6: I think for me it was the youngest of five,
- 8:35Speaker 6: single mother, and then fifteen years of school I went
- 8:40Speaker 6: out and twelve years of school, I went to fifteen
- 8:42Speaker 6: fifteen schools, and so it gave me this ability to
- 8:47Speaker 6: find out, like I can figure this out, put myself
- 8:50Speaker 6: in these uncomfortable situations adapt. But I think if you, if,
- 8:54Speaker 6: if I could pinpoint like a pretty cool moment in
- 8:56Speaker 6: my life where it was like, what like the odds
- 8:57Speaker 6: are stacked against me? Was I never played in the
- 9:00Speaker 6: NFL before, but I played rugby and I was in Australia,
- 9:04Speaker 6: and I was like, if I saved my contract for
- 9:07Speaker 6: five years and not pay taxes, I can make that
- 9:09Speaker 6: in one season of the NFL and they wear pads.
- 9:13Speaker 2: And so with that ambitious dream, I knew I want
- 9:16Speaker 2: to say.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Rug too, but go ahead.
- 9:22Speaker 6: It was great, and so I ended up flying to
- 9:25Speaker 6: America with no experience. I was going to train with
- 9:29Speaker 6: the best college athletes. So I went to Exos formerly
- 9:32Speaker 6: athletes Performance in Arizona, North Scottsdale.
- 9:35Speaker 4: I worked out there.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Yeah, bro It's where the best went.
- 9:37Speaker 6: So I wanted to see how I could balance against
- 9:40Speaker 6: these pros.
- 9:41Speaker 2: I was running routes with Odell Beckham and I.
- 9:44Speaker 6: Was lifting with Amon Donald, and it was just to
- 9:47Speaker 6: see their careers in the NFL and then just to
- 9:49Speaker 6: kind of see how I started my journey into America.
- 9:52Speaker 6: At one point, I think I was eating Odell's scraps
- 9:55Speaker 6: because I was just broke.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Bro, I had nothing. I figured it out. He was
- 9:58Speaker 2: just I was like, oh, I'm I have that please.
- 10:01Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, you can have that. I was like, right, perfect,
- 10:03Speaker 2: And he probably still remembers that. And what's the number
- 10:06Speaker 2: one lesson you learned? And we're playing in the NFL?
- 10:08Speaker 6: I mean, you just gotta have If you have the vision,
- 10:10Speaker 6: there's nothing else that can take away from that planet,
- 10:13Speaker 6: but you have to like visualize it.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I remember flying.
- 10:15Speaker 6: I could listen to this one song on repeat and
- 10:18Speaker 6: it was me walking out of a locker room, lining up,
- 10:20Speaker 6: kicking the football, then running back out of me, lighting
- 10:23Speaker 6: that person up, and I played that. I was so
- 10:26Speaker 6: ingrained in my mind that when I finally got my
- 10:28Speaker 6: first game in college football, I did it and I
- 10:31Speaker 6: got suspended.
- 10:31Speaker 2: So I let him out. What about you, Packrin, what's
- 10:37Speaker 2: the number one lesson you learned playing?
- 10:40Speaker 4: That's a hard course, number one lesson that I've learned.
- 10:48Speaker 4: I'm saying it's kind of different from what you said.
- 10:53Speaker 4: But like I ain't have family. Yeah, so.
- 10:58Speaker 5: My old thing was them my kids, teaching them something better,
- 11:04Speaker 5: like it's cool, but don't do what your dad did.
- 11:07Speaker 4: My grandma raised me.
- 11:09Speaker 5: But like mentally I never really had love for people
- 11:14Speaker 5: because I always thought everybody was against me, you get
- 11:17Speaker 5: what I'm saying, And of them was until I went
- 11:23Speaker 5: to West Virginia. West Virginia changed my life. But I
- 11:27Speaker 5: would say the biggest thing is loving family because we
- 11:36Speaker 5: only got so much time. It don't matter how much
- 11:38Speaker 5: money you got, It don't matter what you're doing. All
- 11:42Speaker 5: that shit. That shit is cool. But I think for me,
- 11:48Speaker 5: my thing about what I'm trying to do is you
- 11:53Speaker 5: might not even be my kid, but God have put
- 11:58Speaker 5: me here to change other kids' life because that's what
- 12:02Speaker 5: I had for me. I had an old white lady
- 12:06Speaker 5: adopt me, Miss blissed, missiblisted, but she taught me way
- 12:13Speaker 5: more than xes and those dollar signs and really like
- 12:20Speaker 5: damn like I love you.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you've got a daughter. Nobody teaches you to
- 12:24Speaker 2: be a parent. You do kind of. I mean, you
- 12:27Speaker 2: might have some, but for the most part, this is
- 12:30Speaker 2: the hardest job.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Yeah ever, especially in this day and time.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you, it's been really fun.
- 12:38Speaker 4: You should do this more often.
- 12:39Speaker 2: We Derek, we're gonna all pro legend. Eric mccoff looking
- 12:49Speaker 2: great man.
- 12:50Speaker 3: How you doing for having me so?
- 12:53Speaker 2: How far did you travel for this show, Settle, Yeah,
- 12:59Speaker 2: it's good for me. Rumor haws it. You may not
- 13:01Speaker 2: be rooting for them. It's not that I'm not rooting.
- 13:06Speaker 2: It's not It's not that I'm not rooting for them.
- 13:08Speaker 2: It's just I've never been a Seahawk fan. I'm from Seattle,
- 13:11Speaker 2: and everybody knows that I'm from Seattle, but I've never
- 13:13Speaker 2: been a Seahawk fan. When I was a kid, they
- 13:16Speaker 2: didn't exist.
- 13:17Speaker 7: So I was a San Diego charge of fan, and
- 13:19Speaker 7: they they they come into existence. They're in the AFC West,
- 13:23Speaker 7: which is in the same division as my favorite team,
- 13:26Speaker 7: so I don't I didn't really care for the Seahawks
- 13:28Speaker 7: at time at that point, and then the very first
- 13:31Speaker 7: game they ever played was against the Saint Louis Cardinals
- 13:34Speaker 7: and my dad, Terry Metcalf, was playing for them.
- 13:36Speaker 3: So from day one, they're not my favorite.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. I got you. It's hard to
- 13:41Speaker 2: shake that. What we learn as kids and doesn't change
- 13:45Speaker 2: it is.
- 13:46Speaker 7: And I mean, if you look throughout the world with
- 13:49Speaker 7: teams and kids, how they liked team a lot of
- 13:51Speaker 7: times because they're dad like the team, their cousins, their
- 13:55Speaker 7: family liked a particular team, and so it's the generations
- 13:58Speaker 7: and the lineage that they totally.
- 14:01Speaker 2: What was it like having a following footsteps? I mean,
- 14:03Speaker 2: did that intimidate you or motivate you?
- 14:07Speaker 4: How did that work?
- 14:08Speaker 7: I think it only it only intimidates you when you're
- 14:12Speaker 7: not good.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Right.
- 14:13Speaker 2: I knew I was good, you were good. I was good,
- 14:16Speaker 2: you were good.
- 14:17Speaker 3: And I had the confidence that I was going to
- 14:19Speaker 3: be good.
- 14:19Speaker 7: So my dad being in the NFL just motivated me
- 14:23Speaker 7: because I wanted to be able to say I'm the
- 14:25Speaker 7: best Metcalf in the family.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Right. A little competition is good, right, So what are
- 14:29Speaker 2: you doing now? What's how We been talking to a
- 14:33Speaker 2: lot of players this week about the transition from being
- 14:36Speaker 2: pro football player in all in that crazy world and
- 14:41Speaker 2: then going into the real world. What what's it been like?
- 14:44Speaker 2: What's real life like for you these days, mister Madcalf.
- 14:48Speaker 3: You know, it's it's it's cool, but sometimes I feel
- 14:52Speaker 3: kind of bored.
- 14:52Speaker 7: But like during the football season, I go back and
- 14:56Speaker 7: forth to Cleveland because I do TV there. I do
- 14:58Speaker 7: pregame postgame show was on the local station in Cleveland,
- 15:02Speaker 7: and so that takes up my time flying back and
- 15:05Speaker 7: forth during during the season, and then you know, when
- 15:08Speaker 7: I when I first retired, I got into coaching track.
- 15:12Speaker 7: I had actually helped a lot of kids and started
- 15:16Speaker 7: a track club while I was playing, and so I
- 15:19Speaker 7: got into coaching track and having a track club immediately
- 15:23Speaker 7: when I quit retired. Then I started coaching track at
- 15:27Speaker 7: the University of Washington. I coached comllegiately and everything. So
- 15:30Speaker 7: then so I coached track for a long time. I'm
- 15:32Speaker 7: still coaching a guy who runs professionally right now, but
- 15:36Speaker 7: U and I've done some do some consulting with Nike
- 15:38Speaker 7: Track and Field. So for the most part, I stay
- 15:41Speaker 7: involved with with sports that I was a part of
- 15:44Speaker 7: and ran track, so I coached and do some consulting
- 15:47Speaker 7: with that, and I obviously played football.
- 15:50Speaker 3: So I get to go back and do the games
- 15:53Speaker 3: in Cleveland, which makes me feel.
- 15:55Speaker 7: A part of it still, you know, because I don't
- 15:57Speaker 7: know how often I would go back to Cleveland.
- 15:59Speaker 3: If I were doing doing those games. I mean I
- 16:01Speaker 3: would watch them and.
- 16:03Speaker 7: And want them to win and everything, but going back
- 16:06Speaker 7: and being in the crowd and in the thick of it,
- 16:08Speaker 7: it just makes you feel more appreciated, especially the way
- 16:12Speaker 7: people treat me there.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Everything you do is pretty awesome. So we are very
- 16:17Speaker 2: interested in health and well being. Is there any health
- 16:20Speaker 2: cause or anything that's affected you. We talk about that
- 16:24Speaker 2: and hit by the bouncing ball that you want to
- 16:26Speaker 2: talk about. Relative to health and being healthy, well, you know,
- 16:30Speaker 2: how do you stay healthy?
- 16:31Speaker 7: I walk nine miles a day with the way vests,
- 16:34Speaker 7: and you know it's because it's gonna sound crazy. I'm
- 16:41Speaker 7: so afraid of death because it just it just bothers me.
- 16:46Speaker 7: And I don't know if that has to do with
- 16:48Speaker 7: playing football or anything, but it just it just bothers me.
- 16:51Speaker 7: Every time someone I know passed away, it like bothers
- 16:55Speaker 7: me because then I get to thinking about I'm getting old,
- 16:58Speaker 7: and so I try to stay moving.
- 17:01Speaker 4: I tried.
- 17:01Speaker 3: That's why I started nine miles.
- 17:03Speaker 7: I got to nine miles because I felt like everything
- 17:05Speaker 7: before that there was.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Nothing that's incredible. And I was gonna say, it's nine
- 17:10Speaker 2: miles special. Probably is. It sounds like there's a programming
- 17:13Speaker 2: that I just couldn't.
- 17:14Speaker 7: I just couldn't get At three miles, I felt like
- 17:17Speaker 7: it accomplished anything. And I just kept going and going
- 17:19Speaker 7: till I felt nine miles. That's the spot where I
- 17:22Speaker 7: feel like I'm burning, and I feel like I'm getting
