- 1:13Speaker 1: With that, there we go the found a way love it.
- 1:17Speaker 5: Okay, so I'll say CALLI, well, I feel like in
- 1:20Speaker 5: this part that we're in, like, I feel like maybe
- 1:22Speaker 5: As has a little bit better options with like the
- 1:24Speaker 5: food situation. But I feel like if you go to
- 1:26Speaker 5: like the city of San Francisco, then you're gonna find
- 1:29Speaker 5: like good food spots.
- 1:30Speaker 4: I stay away from there a little bit. But Arizona obviously,
- 1:36Speaker 4: I got my family there, my friends. It's familiar for me.
- 1:41Speaker 5: I mean, if you're trying to get into some nightlife,
- 1:43Speaker 5: it's a little bit better over there too. Cali got
- 1:46Speaker 5: the good culture though, good vibes over here, dance moves
- 1:49Speaker 5: and I'm still trying to learn. We were just talking
- 1:53Speaker 5: about that. So yeah, no, I mean I really like both.
- 1:56Speaker 5: They got their pros and cons. Yeah, I mean better
- 1:58Speaker 5: weather here too. You know, Arizona it gets pretty hot,
- 2:01Speaker 5: but it all depends though, it all depends like.
- 2:04Speaker 2: In the summer when it's like one hundred and thirty degrees.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Yeah, and like your credit card, if you leave in there,
- 2:08Speaker 5: it melts. That's that's the thing.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Yeah, As that, Yeah, it doesn't get like that where
- 2:14Speaker 1: I'm from How did it feel to play against the
- 2:17Speaker 1: Cardinals and go back home and now being a player
- 2:20Speaker 1: in the NFL? How did that feel for you?
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:22Speaker 5: It was cool, And it was actually kind of funny
- 2:23Speaker 5: because when we were sitting down on our bench on
- 2:26Speaker 5: the receiver side, I heard one of my buddies yelling
- 2:28Speaker 5: at me, and I turned around. I'm like, hello, it
- 2:32Speaker 5: was like one of my friends from high school back there.
- 2:34Speaker 5: It was so funny. But I had like fifty family
- 2:36Speaker 5: members just from my mom's side.
- 2:37Speaker 4: I didn't even know I.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Had, like deep, yeah, i'd even know.
- 2:40Speaker 5: I had fifty family members on my mom's side again
- 2:44Speaker 5: for real, and then I see them all at the
- 2:47Speaker 5: family section at the end.
- 2:48Speaker 4: So it was really cool. But it was also better.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I got to get in the pants too.
- 2:51Speaker 1: So yeah that and that makes it even more exciting.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Did that like kind of was that like the cherry
- 2:56Speaker 1: on top for that game?
- 2:57Speaker 5: It was because they were at the suits I think
- 2:59Speaker 5: literally right above the end zone that I scored on.
- 3:02Speaker 1: So it was written it was I love that favorite
- 3:06Speaker 1: moment from your rookie season, and then I'm gonna make
- 3:09Speaker 1: you guys share your favorite moment with each other this season.
- 3:12Speaker 1: But first, your rookie.
- 3:13Speaker 5: Moment, All right, cool, I gotta think, I gotta think
- 3:16Speaker 5: my favorite moment.
- 3:18Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 3:18Speaker 5: I feel like I have fun, like every day, you
- 3:21Speaker 5: like to be honest, Like, I just go out there
- 3:23Speaker 5: and practice, and you know, me and DV are getting
- 3:25Speaker 5: late to the music and dancing everywhere and just enjoying ourselves.
- 3:28Speaker 5: But you know, probably all the wins that we had.
- 3:31Speaker 5: I mean, Kyle always talking about He's like, you only
- 3:34Speaker 5: really have fun in this game when you win, and
- 3:36Speaker 5: so I think that's super true. So you know, whenever
- 3:38Speaker 5: we get a w I'm having the most fun.
- 3:40Speaker 1: But is there a win that sticks out the most
- 3:42Speaker 1: to you this season?
- 3:48Speaker 4: What was my first win? What was my first one?
- 3:50Speaker 2: Was that Dallas? I think that was Dallas, but I
- 3:53Speaker 2: don't even remember what.
- 3:55Speaker 5: I'm probably gonna go with the first one because that
- 3:57Speaker 5: was my first start to my first start was my first.
- 4:00Speaker 1: So that's special.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I don't like to say it was
- 4:03Speaker 4: a coincidence.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Now, what's your favorite moment? By the way, when we
- 4:06Speaker 1: speak about you on the show, one of the things
- 4:08Speaker 1: he compliments the most about you is the energy that
- 4:11Speaker 1: you have, just always like you're constantly in a good mood,
- 4:14Speaker 1: bringing up the energy and just hearing your response on
- 4:17Speaker 1: your favorite moments. It seems like you just having the
- 4:20Speaker 1: time of your life, which is contagious clearly because he
- 4:23Speaker 1: talks about it.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I feel like we go off each other though.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Nah, for sure, my my favorite moment with Ricky I
- 4:29Speaker 3: wasn't even on the field at the time, but you know,
- 4:32Speaker 3: all the stuff that he dealt with coming back from
- 4:34Speaker 3: decision where he came from. When he scored his first
- 4:36Speaker 3: touch down and I just see him running down there
- 4:39Speaker 3: and that was like, that was a That was a
- 4:41Speaker 3: big moment for me, but it was his moment at
- 4:44Speaker 3: the time, but just didning with everything he dealt with
- 4:46Speaker 3: coming back, you know practice, they told him he was
- 4:49Speaker 3: gonna be ready a couple of weeks earlier than he
- 4:50Speaker 3: could of lose. He kind of got mad, da da
- 4:52Speaker 3: da da. But then he came back, he scored his
- 4:55Speaker 3: for his touch down. I think that that was that
- 4:57Speaker 3: was my biggest moment for show.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I love it. What about yours with Debo?
- 5:00Speaker 5: Me with Debot Hmmm, I don't know. Like I said,
- 5:05Speaker 5: it's like all of them, it's.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Like every day every day at work.
- 5:09Speaker 5: But I feel like maybe even just some stuff like
- 5:12Speaker 5: off the field too, you know, because like it's always
- 5:14Speaker 5: football for us, and you know that's our jobs, and
- 5:16Speaker 5: you know people scores a lot of touchdowns and make
- 5:18Speaker 5: a lot of plays. So you know, I'm always lit
- 5:21Speaker 5: for him and we're always going crazy.
- 5:23Speaker 4: But you know, he took me to the Warriors games.
- 5:25Speaker 5: We got that and that was like the first time
- 5:26Speaker 5: like I feel like no, I came over to your
- 5:28Speaker 5: to your house one time. That was the first time
- 5:30Speaker 5: like we spent like time off the field together. Yeah,
- 5:32Speaker 5: which was cool. And we had all the receivers here
- 5:34Speaker 5: for like little brunch.
- 5:36Speaker 1: You guys were miked up, so you kind of had
- 5:37Speaker 1: to be careful about how much fun you probably like.
- 5:40Speaker 2: They took care of it. They took a lot of
- 5:45Speaker 2: beats of them.
- 5:46Speaker 1: When you're with your like your friend, it's not everything
- 5:50Speaker 1: you want to be like blasted through a microphone.
- 5:53Speaker 4: So yeah, one day we'll see the bloopers on that.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it was.
- 5:56Speaker 2: We was watching the video. It was like beat beat beat, No.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Yeah, well I did see that on social media. There
- 6:02Speaker 1: was more beeping than actual words that they were able
- 6:04Speaker 1: to use talk about what it's been like growing in
- 6:07Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan offense offense in your Rookie season, Deebo
- 6:12Speaker 1: spends a lot of time talking about Kyle and just
- 6:14Speaker 1: the culture that he's established and how great and smart
- 6:18Speaker 1: of a coach he is. But how important do you
- 6:19Speaker 1: think it's been to be under his offense and his
- 6:23Speaker 1: team as a rookie.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been awesome.
- 6:26Speaker 5: And then it's had its challenges and its struggles. You know,
- 6:28Speaker 5: when I first year, I was like WHOA, Like this
- 6:31Speaker 5: is crazy, going from like a college playbook to the
- 6:34Speaker 5: NFL playbook, and not only an NFL playbook, but his Yeah,
- 6:37Speaker 5: you know it's always changing two you know, week to week,
- 6:40Speaker 5: so and especially miss some time, it was really.
- 6:42Speaker 4: Hard for me to like catch back up.
- 6:44Speaker 5: But luckily I had good coaches, you know in the
- 6:46Speaker 5: receiver room, and I got guys like Debo in there
- 6:48Speaker 5: in the vesta to help me get adjusted to that.
- 6:52Speaker 5: But you know, like you said, Kyle, you know he's
- 6:55Speaker 5: he's got a complex, complex offense. You know, he's a
- 6:57Speaker 5: he's a master around when it comes to that. So
- 6:59Speaker 5: he's always interchanging different things.
- 7:01Speaker 4: So you know, you got to do your studying for sure,
- 7:04Speaker 4: for sure, for sure, But it's been fun.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Though it's been fun, You've learned a lot.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I'm telling you that playbook, that playbook different, it's still
- 7:13Speaker 2: it's still like different.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Now, it's like every week you learning like definitely a
- 7:17Speaker 3: whole other set of one hundred plays this weekend and week out.
- 7:20Speaker 3: But it's it's definitely tough. As you look back to
- 7:24Speaker 3: last year, well this past season, what was your welcome
- 7:28Speaker 3: to the league moment?
- 7:30Speaker 4: There? I think there's been a few. I think.
- 7:33Speaker 5: I think it comes back to the Cowboys game again.
- 7:35Speaker 5: There was a linebacker that hit me so hard, hit
- 7:38Speaker 5: me so hard when I.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Got the ball.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Oh, I definitely remember that. He was like, bro, he
- 7:41Speaker 3: hit me so hard across the middle.
- 7:43Speaker 4: I'm talking about like as soon as you hit my
- 7:44Speaker 4: hit straight ground, like hit me hard. I got up
- 7:48Speaker 4: and I was like, there's.
- 7:49Speaker 1: No other better welcome to the league getting rocked.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I got up and I was trying to find
- 7:54Speaker 4: the huddle. That's how dizzy. Yeah, I was probing my
- 7:58Speaker 4: welcome to league moment.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense. I would imagine to scoring
- 8:03Speaker 1: in front of your whole family back in your home state.
- 8:05Speaker 1: That's got to be super cool. And I don't know,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I can only imagine just the way that your season
- 8:11Speaker 1: started and the things you had to go through pre season.
- 8:14Speaker 1: It probably the whole season probably felt like a welcome
- 8:17Speaker 1: to the league moment, because.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that may have fun every day literally every day.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Touchdown? Right, Yeah, what would be your touchdown celebration?
- 8:29Speaker 4: It's a good question. I mean you did say you
- 8:32Speaker 4: were yeah, yeah.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Can they see your touchdown celebration?
- 8:37Speaker 1: You'll meet to uncook myself to do it. Guys, they're
- 8:44Speaker 1: putting me on the spot. This is crazy work, this
- 8:45Speaker 1: is crazy work. What would I do for I don't know.
- 8:49Speaker 1: That's actually a really good question because I feel like
- 8:51Speaker 1: as a dancer, we like choreography, but I feel like
- 8:54Speaker 1: touchdown celebrations you just kind of got to be like
- 8:56Speaker 1: in the moment.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Some people be playing them.
- 8:59Speaker 1: So you don't nearly enough touchdown dances. Why I don't know.
- 9:02Speaker 2: I just don't.
- 9:03Speaker 4: He's in the moment.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Can you help him with that?
- 9:05Speaker 2: It's just in the moment, like you score?
- 9:09Speaker 1: Do you? You do? You like to chirp? Is that?
- 9:12Speaker 1: Usually your celebration depends on my mood because one game
- 9:15Speaker 1: you you did this to them.
- 9:17Speaker 2: You were like being on how long was this that ago?
- 9:19Speaker 4: That was a sea scam that you're doing one of those.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 9:23Speaker 1: It was that big, remember when I made that video.
- 9:26Speaker 3: But you're still avoiding the touchdown dance, you're right, hm hmm.
- 9:31Speaker 3: If you had three days to get ready for your
- 9:33Speaker 3: touchdown dance, what youre doing?
- 9:36Speaker 1: Oh gosh. I mean at this point it probably be
- 9:39Speaker 1: a TikTok dance. It probably be the one I just
- 9:40Speaker 1: posted on my Instagram.
- 9:43Speaker 2: That's too long, you get.
- 9:45Speaker 1: They're like, ma'am, we have to move still doing choreography. Yeah,
- 9:49Speaker 1: I'll think about that. By the end of the show.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I'll have a touch on. Let's talk about your touchdown
- 9:54Speaker 1: celebrations' they're very in the moment. Do you have a favorite?
- 9:58Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite one of his from this season?
- 10:05Speaker 2: I don't think too many people like it. But I
- 10:07Speaker 2: thought it was hard the one he just did.
- 10:10Speaker 1: You don't think people liked it?
- 10:11Speaker 2: Why?
- 10:12Speaker 3: Because you you know, like we talked about like last week,
- 10:15Speaker 3: you know, you see one person talk about something and
- 10:17Speaker 3: then hear come trained reaction of people that likes it
- 10:21Speaker 3: but technically just want But.
- 10:23Speaker 1: You thought it, I mean it was hard.
- 10:25Speaker 2: I thought it was tough.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Listen, it's your experience.
- 10:29Speaker 5: Right, No, for sure, and like I practiced it, like
- 10:32Speaker 5: right before I went out that I told Bod about it.
- 10:34Speaker 4: He said that's tough.
- 10:34Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, he was like I might hit
- 10:36Speaker 3: this when I said, yeah, that's hard.
- 10:38Speaker 1: That is, And again it is it's something you went
- 10:41Speaker 1: through and you experienced, and I think you're I don't know,
- 10:45Speaker 1: like that's I feel like that's totally.
- 10:47Speaker 5: Almost forgot about it. Like I started like doing the
- 10:49Speaker 5: trip and was talking about like.
- 10:50Speaker 2: He was so tired.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I was tired, and he gets the ball and he's
- 10:55Speaker 3: just like he's just falling down. But then you had
- 10:59Speaker 3: to up and remember.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's good. I love that you also did
- 11:02Speaker 1: a little bit of practicing. That's fantastic.
- 11:04Speaker 4: I remember I was back in Arizona side of the zone.
- 11:06Speaker 1: What was it like the first time you met brock Party.
- 11:09Speaker 5: The first time I met brock Party was in Arizona,
- 11:13Speaker 5: like in high school.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, okay, we're.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Both from Arizona and we played each other in high school.
- 11:19Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, well, so we were similar then
- 11:23Speaker 1: to now.
- 11:25Speaker 4: I didn't know him that well.
- 11:26Speaker 5: Okay, well then I know him way better now. But
- 11:30Speaker 5: I met him at like this ceremony for an award.
- 11:33Speaker 5: I think he wanted to actually.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Think about it. It was like it was basically like the
- 11:38Speaker 4: Football Player of the Year in Arizona award.
- 11:40Speaker 5: Basically it was and I believe that he won it,
- 11:44Speaker 5: so he Yeah.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And you guys were probably competing for the same award,
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
- 11:48Speaker 5: And we were like, we're lined up in this line
- 11:49Speaker 5: about to go into the room with all the tables
- 11:52Speaker 5: and the ceremony, and I just said, what's up to him?
- 11:55Speaker 5: You know, I'm having conversation with the guys, And that's
- 11:57Speaker 5: when I met Brock. But then now when we talk,
- 12:00Speaker 5: it is funny because I think he puts seventy on
- 12:02Speaker 5: her head again, like he went crazy like and but
- 12:06Speaker 5: also went crazy again. I think I had two hundred
- 12:07Speaker 5: receiving yards that game.
- 12:08Speaker 1: And yeah, full circle moment. Now your teammates, what is
- 12:12Speaker 1: it like with him? Now?
- 12:14Speaker 4: It's really cool.
- 12:14Speaker 5: It's really cool to see because you know, it's two
- 12:17Speaker 5: Arison the guys you know, in the huddle at the
- 12:19Speaker 5: same time and you know, still trying to build that
- 12:21Speaker 5: connection with him, and you know, we can just reminisce
- 12:23Speaker 5: about those moments too. You know, that was like the
- 12:25Speaker 5: first thing I brought up when I when I talked
- 12:27Speaker 5: to him first and when I first got draft he
- 12:29Speaker 5: texted me he was like my arizon A brother, and
- 12:31Speaker 5: then we just started talking from that.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really cool. It was really cool.
- 12:34Speaker 1: He DEEPO talks a lot about Brock and I know
- 12:37Speaker 1: what I've seen from him off the field.
- 12:39Speaker 2: She was a Brockader at one point, but she loves him.
- 12:42Speaker 2: She loves him now. It's okay, It's all right. Such
- 12:45Speaker 2: a strong word, not hater, what do you want to
- 12:47Speaker 2: call it.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I wasn't fully had questions. I wasn't fully convinced had
- 12:52Speaker 1: questions that Brock answered, which was not fair. I was
- 12:56Speaker 1: on the side and again like I'm not proud of this,
- 12:59Speaker 1: but I was on the side of, like I'm very honest.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I was on the side of, like, he's got a
- 13:05Speaker 1: lot around him that's putting him in a position to
- 13:07Speaker 1: be successful that I think it was at the time
- 13:11Speaker 1: that people were talking about whether or not he deserved
- 13:13Speaker 1: m VP and it was last season, and I was like,
- 13:15Speaker 1: I don't know, I just feel like there's a lot
- 13:17Speaker 1: of m vps on that team. So I wasn't giving
- 13:19Speaker 1: him enough credit. That's what I was I was, I
- 13:22Speaker 1: was discrediting him by giving credit to the people around him,
- 13:25Speaker 1: and that wasn't fair because he is.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Now my egg like you right, you see how you know,
- 13:33Speaker 3: we got a lot of m vps around him. But
- 13:36Speaker 3: you know, uh, you know, I love Lamar Jackson. But
- 13:39Speaker 3: why wouldn't you do that to Lamar Jackson?
- 13:43Speaker 1: Right, you're absolutely right.
- 13:45Speaker 2: You know what, Divo.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I don't like it when you get when you go
- 13:48Speaker 1: off scripts, Divo. Okay, so cut that out. No, you're
- 13:51Speaker 1: You're totally right. I think you could make that. You
- 13:53Speaker 1: can make that statement about any team in this league,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I mean a high so anyway, I have sense with Actually,
- 14:02Speaker 1: George Kittle sitting here, I had to admit that I
- 14:04Speaker 1: was at one point a discreditor of Rock Party, but
- 14:09Speaker 1: I'm off that train now. But he does seem like, Yeah,
- 14:13Speaker 1: I've working with Divo has definitely helped with that, for sure.
- 14:17Speaker 1: But he does seem like a very genuine person just
- 14:20Speaker 1: from the outside looking in. Is he as genuine as
- 14:23Speaker 1: he seems? For sure?
- 14:24Speaker 4: He's the same guy.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Yeah, he seems good people.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Yeah, you only hear him yell when he's really really mad.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Have you heard him?
- 14:31Speaker 2: Yeah? He yell a lot.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Good for him.
- 14:34Speaker 5: But the jokes every now and then they're actually really
- 14:36Speaker 5: funny because he doesn't do it often.
- 14:38Speaker 2: He's like, pool, you gotta cool here, poo.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Okay, I love that. Jacob was on the show and
- 14:45Speaker 1: we asked him about his rookie duties. Did Deebo put

- 15:44Speaker 1: There was a rookie rookie dinner.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, unfortunately, we just did a rookie dinner.
- 15:49Speaker 1: How was that?
- 15:50Speaker 2: It was pretty good.
- 15:51Speaker 3: We had fun, you know, it's always good to be
- 15:53Speaker 3: around the guys.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. I had to play a little prank.
- 15:57Speaker 3: He didn't too much like it, but you know, I
- 16:01Speaker 3: had the So I like, I was going to the
- 16:03Speaker 3: restroom to go talk to our waitress at the time,
- 16:07Speaker 3: and I was like, how much is the tab? And
- 16:10Speaker 3: the tab was like a fifty five hundred at that time,
- 16:12Speaker 3: and I was like, all right, cool, just just bring
- 16:15Speaker 3: your tab out of like make it look like it's
- 16:16Speaker 3: twenty two thousand, and all the guys, all the guys
- 16:20Speaker 3: in the ordering bottles of wine before we left.
- 16:23Speaker 2: So the tab ended up being like eight thousand or whatever.
- 16:25Speaker 3: But the tab came out it was like twenty two thousand, and.
- 16:29Speaker 4: I got the sweat.
- 16:30Speaker 2: He was like, he was like sweating. He was like texting.
- 16:32Speaker 3: He had texts, like uh uh, I was trying.
- 16:36Speaker 2: To set that. He like said it, he said, like
- 16:39Speaker 2: setting for Max uh set.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Meanwhile, meanwhile, Jacob on the side of him, because you know,
- 16:45Speaker 3: it was kind of he was gonna play most of it,
- 16:47Speaker 3: and then Jacob was gonna play the other ass.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Jacob was like, bro, I can't even take a vacation now.
- 16:53Speaker 3: I was just like, I was like, hanging. I was
- 16:55Speaker 3: talking to a receiver coach. I'm like, yo, Bro, I'm
- 16:56Speaker 3: about give.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Him the tab hanging No, no, no, no, just keep.

- 17:14Speaker 3: come on, bro, like.
- 17:15Speaker 1: I can't even take my trip now.
- 17:16Speaker 2: And then Ricky's about to pay for the tab, and

- 17:20Speaker 2: I appreciate Jake, Like, man, I can I can go
- 17:25Speaker 2: on vacations still.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Well, a similar prank did happen with
- 17:30Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Uh, they pranked him, but the tab I
- 17:35Speaker 1: think they the fake tab was one hundred and fifty
- 17:38Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. I would probably pass out.
- 17:43Speaker 2: They still did him.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Yes, what was the actual corrects?
- 17:47Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, that's what.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Okay, if if if you had a rookie dinner and
- 17:54Speaker 1: the tab was genuinely thirty eight, would you step in?
- 17:57Speaker 3: I went and they get that because the you to
- 18:02Speaker 3: suffer to get a tab that high?
- 18:05Speaker 2: Truth, I don't know. It had to be a lot
- 18:07Speaker 2: of people and people just ordering.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Just to you know, alcohol. I'm sure they got the
- 18:11Speaker 1: best of every Yeah, they probably got the best of
- 18:13Speaker 1: every bottle that is in the bar. But that's insane.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Thirty eight state and to prank him with one fifty
- 18:19Speaker 1: five is.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I mean, your stomach is still gonna be hurt.
- 18:22Speaker 4: You see thirty thousand come out right?
- 18:25Speaker 1: That doesn't make it any better to be honest with you.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Did you have a rookie dinner?
- 18:28Speaker 2: Yeah? I did.
- 18:29Speaker 1: What was your tap?
- 18:29Speaker 2: Do you remember? Oh, my dad was like eighty eight thousand,
- 18:31Speaker 2: I mean eighty eight hundred.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Oh my god, you said, yeah, it was like all.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Eighty eight hundred. Yeah, my tad was eighty eight hundred.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Okay, I mean that's still cool.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Hi, that's like guy that was like ours.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Yeah, but the rookies split it like a or just
- 18:45Speaker 1: do you pet one rookie to tell me?
- 18:46Speaker 4: When I see that twenty one thousand, I started doing
- 18:48Speaker 4: math in my.
- 18:49Speaker 5: Head, Like I was, like, I was, that's a lot.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Okay, So we've talked a little bit about Oh, you
- 18:59Speaker 1: said after the Lions game, you had a very sweet
- 19:02Speaker 1: moment after the Lions game where you said that you
- 19:04Speaker 1: want a debot to feel appreciated. Why did you want
- 19:08Speaker 1: him in that moment to feel the appreciation that you
- 19:11Speaker 1: feel for him.
- 19:12Speaker 5: Yeah, just I feel like just the way he embraced me,
- 19:14Speaker 5: like when I got in the building, you know, and
- 19:16Speaker 5: even like I hate to bring this up, but like
- 19:19Speaker 5: back to you know, the whole situation, I just feel
- 19:24Speaker 5: like I was that was like probably like the darkest
- 19:25Speaker 5: moment I've ever been, probably the toughest moment I've ever
- 19:27Speaker 5: been in.
- 19:27Speaker 4: And you know, he was one of the only.
- 19:29Speaker 5: Guys that showed up, you know, and he was hanging
- 19:31Speaker 5: out with my family, you know, in the hotel room.
- 19:33Speaker 4: So you know, just seeing that, you.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Know, you always say when you're in your darkest moment,
- 19:38Speaker 5: you see who you know, you really got your corner
- 19:40Speaker 5: in your corner, you know, and he's that guy. So
- 19:44Speaker 5: you know, outside of football, I just knew he was,
- 19:46Speaker 5: you know, you know, a guy I could trust and
- 19:49Speaker 5: rely on. So when I when I got back in
- 19:50Speaker 5: the building, you know, it was just it was just easy,
- 19:53Speaker 5: you know, to talk to him and you know, relate
- 19:55Speaker 5: to him and have those conversations with him, and you know,
- 19:57Speaker 5: and then to football. You know, he's helped me along
- 19:59Speaker 5: with way as far as you know, adapting to the
- 20:02Speaker 5: playbook and you know, just being myself back out there,
- 20:04Speaker 5: you know, dancing with him and bringing energy because that's
- 20:06Speaker 5: how I want to play football, and that's how he
- 20:08Speaker 5: probably he wants to play football too. And for me,
- 20:11Speaker 5: it just made me play my game, get back to
- 20:12Speaker 5: that and you know, enjoy the ball again.
- 20:14Speaker 4: So you know, for me, that's just why I was saying,
- 20:17Speaker 4: I want him to feel appreciated.
- 20:19Speaker 2: For sure, my dad rigged me, for sure.
- 20:22Speaker 1: I love that. But that also, I think speaks volumes
- 20:25Speaker 1: about the type of person that you are. Obviously you're
- 20:28Speaker 1: a great football player, we all know that, but also
- 20:31Speaker 1: good people. And I think you felt that and it
- 20:34Speaker 1: was definitely and you also felt that from him based
- 20:37Speaker 1: on what you say about him.
- 20:38Speaker 3: So I made was turned turned he was outside in
- 20:44Speaker 3: the club, he was turned up.
- 20:45Speaker 4: It was it.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Was just yeah, it was just deep. I love that. Well,
- 20:51Speaker 1: I want to talk about you getting the ed Block
- 20:54Speaker 1: Courage Award. Obviously, Courage is a really great way to
- 20:57Speaker 1: describe you in light up all the things that you've
- 21:01Speaker 1: been dealing with. I think everybody tuning in knows your story.
- 21:05Speaker 1: But what did it mean to you to get that award?
- 21:07Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 21:08Speaker 5: Everything to me, you know, just to be honored and
- 21:11Speaker 5: you know, be associated with that award, you know, and
- 21:13Speaker 5: what that means. And I'm not sure exactly how they
- 21:17Speaker 5: vote the award, but in any way they do. You know,
- 21:19Speaker 5: I appreciate those who you know, voted me for that award,
- 21:22Speaker 5: and you know, it just shows that, you know, whenever
- 21:27Speaker 5: you're going through a hard moment like that, you know
- 21:29Speaker 5: there's still light into it and people can identify that. So,
- 21:32Speaker 5: you know, it was it was a super cool thing
- 21:33Speaker 5: to see, you know, when I got back on my
- 21:34Speaker 5: social media because nobody told me I SAWID on that
- 21:37Speaker 5: and you know, it was really cool.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I love that. I also want to talk a little
- 21:42Speaker 1: bit about, obviously, what you dealt with most people know,
- 21:47Speaker 1: how did you not let that moment like make you
- 21:50Speaker 1: fear life.
- 21:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw my struggles.
- 21:53Speaker 5: You know, I still have my struggles, and I still
- 21:54Speaker 5: like have like moments where I'm like little like looking
- 21:57Speaker 5: behind my shoulder and having moments and like maybe in
- 22:00Speaker 5: bigger crowds or just like at night seeing people like
- 22:04Speaker 5: because like when he did pull upon me, he was
- 22:06Speaker 5: like all blacked out, like hoodie on. So like when
- 22:08Speaker 5: I see that, like I get to Tripp and I
- 22:10Speaker 5: ain't gonna lie like when I see that. But you know,
- 22:12Speaker 5: as far as like living my life with fear, like
- 22:15Speaker 5: I never I never want to live that way, you
- 22:17Speaker 5: know what I mean. And I know God got me,
- 22:19Speaker 5: and you know, I feel his presence during those moments,
- 22:21Speaker 5: so you know, I know that He's got bigger plans
- 22:23Speaker 5: for me. So you know, when I walk around again,
- 22:26Speaker 5: like I got the guys with me now, but when
- 22:28Speaker 5: I still walk around and I get those moments you
- 22:30Speaker 5: know where I'm feeling that way, I just you know,
- 22:31Speaker 5: I just know that God got me, and I just
- 22:33Speaker 5: try to live without fear, you know.
- 22:34Speaker 1: And that's easier said than done. I mean, I've you know,
- 22:37Speaker 1: had a few traumatic things that I've lived through and
- 22:40Speaker 1: I feel like I'm still however, many years later, a
- 22:43Speaker 1: decade later, dealing with that all the time. So it's
- 22:47Speaker 1: easier said than done. But I think your story is
- 22:49Speaker 1: very inspirational to many many people to not live in fear.
- 22:54Speaker 1: What's your reaction to him getting that award.
- 22:57Speaker 3: It's kind of you know, I talk about Rick all
- 22:58Speaker 3: the time, but wars like you know, the court, the
- 23:02Speaker 3: courage and the sportsmanship. It'd be times while I go
- 23:05Speaker 3: on to work and Ricky be knowing, because you know,
- 23:07Speaker 3: we talk about everything like and I just be like, Brian,
- 23:09Speaker 3: ain't I ain't even trying to be here to day this,
- 23:11Speaker 3: that and the third. Then we get out to the
- 23:13Speaker 3: practice field, I'm stealing the slump here he come dancing,
- 23:16Speaker 3: jumping around, hopping around. I'm like Rick, Brian in the move.
- 23:19Speaker 2: But come on.
- 23:20Speaker 3: But so he, like like I always said, he's the
- 23:23Speaker 3: spark in the room. And you know, for as the
- 23:25Speaker 3: sportsmanship and the courage, you know, to be voted by
- 23:29Speaker 3: I think that's more so like the players vote or
- 23:32Speaker 3: coaches vote type. To be voted by your peers, it
- 23:34Speaker 3: just shows you know, how much you know they seeing
- 23:37Speaker 3: him and how much he can grow in this league
- 23:40Speaker 3: and I tell him all the time, like he got
- 23:42Speaker 3: that takes the play for a long time and be
- 23:43Speaker 3: really really good.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Yeah, and all of that as as a rookie, as
- 23:48Speaker 1: a young guy on a team, that's a huge award
- 23:50Speaker 1: to get. But more than that, now you've set the
- 23:53Speaker 1: bar high, Ricky. Now you gotta just be. You gotta
- 23:56Speaker 1: like you're gonna be leveling up to the point where
- 23:58Speaker 1: at the end of your career, I'm sure you are
- 24:00Speaker 1: going to just be. If you're not already, I think
- 24:03Speaker 1: you already probably are. But a household name that everybody
- 24:05Speaker 1: talks about is just a player that is loved by
- 24:08Speaker 1: the masses. I did see that you had mentioned you
- 24:12Speaker 1: want to forgive the person that shot you. That is
- 24:15Speaker 1: a big statement. If you could sit in front of
- 24:19Speaker 1: that person right now, what would you what's the first
- 24:22Speaker 1: thing you would say to them?
- 24:23Speaker 5: Oh, that's tough. I don't know what I would say
- 24:26Speaker 5: to them. That's that's probably one of those things that
- 24:28Speaker 5: we were talking earlier. That's like an in the moment thing.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, you know.
- 24:31Speaker 4: So I don't know exactly. I don't know if I'm
- 24:33Speaker 4: ready right now.
- 24:34Speaker 5: M you know, like I don't like when I was
- 24:37Speaker 5: when I was saying that, like there's going to be
- 24:39Speaker 5: a time where I'm ready to see him, you know,
- 24:41Speaker 5: and like ready to face that, you know, and maybe
- 24:44Speaker 5: have a conversation with him and figure out, you know,
- 24:46Speaker 5: his intentions. You know, you don't you don't really know
- 24:48Speaker 5: anybody's intentions and you know where they come from. And
- 24:52Speaker 5: there's going to be a lot of people out there
- 24:53Speaker 5: because I've already seen it that like don't agree with that,
- 24:55Speaker 5: you know, like the forgetness part, like you don't got
- 24:57Speaker 5: to forgive somebody that there's something violence you Yet I
- 24:59Speaker 5: agree to a certain level, you know, but I feel
- 25:02Speaker 5: like you got to be able to forgive somebody in
- 25:04Speaker 5: order to drop it, you know, and move on with
- 25:05Speaker 5: your life.
- 25:06Speaker 4: And that's just how I always felt.
- 25:08Speaker 5: And I just feel like, you know, God was telling
- 25:11Speaker 5: me that that's what I needed to do, and that's
- 25:12Speaker 5: what I needed to say, you know, And the only
- 25:14Speaker 5: reason why I'm here today is because of him, So
- 25:17Speaker 5: you know, I just felt like that was the right
- 25:18Speaker 5: thing to say in that moment, you know, when they're
- 25:20Speaker 5: asking me those questions, and and for me, I just
- 25:24Speaker 5: another thing I want to add on to that is
- 25:25Speaker 5: just you know, I don't want him to ever do
- 25:27Speaker 5: that to another person. So whatever it has to go
- 25:29Speaker 5: into that to make sure that happens. You know, the
- 25:31Speaker 5: forgiveness part has nothing to do with him, you know,
- 25:34Speaker 5: being able to run around again and you know, doing
- 25:36Speaker 5: that like that. That's not what I'm trying to get at.
- 25:38Speaker 5: I'm trying to you know, for my personal You're forgiving him, yeah, yeah,
- 25:43Speaker 5: if I'm given forgiving him for myself. You know, like
- 25:45Speaker 5: he already knows, you know, he was doing wrong, and
- 25:47Speaker 5: he was doing wrong in the moment, you know, and
- 25:49Speaker 5: and that's something that might not be able to get
- 25:51Speaker 5: explained until you know, maybe I have that conversation with
- 25:54Speaker 5: him and I can understand them. But for me, you know,
- 25:57Speaker 5: we're all human and I realized that. So if I'm
- 26:00Speaker 5: able to put that perspective in my head and see
- 26:02Speaker 5: it that way, then I'm able to forgive it.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Well.
- 26:04Speaker 1: And there's going to be a lot of people that
- 26:05Speaker 1: weigh in on what they think you should or shouldn't
- 26:07Speaker 1: do at the end of the day day of course,
- 26:10Speaker 1: that's yeah, that is literally part of life. But in
- 26:13Speaker 1: this situation, there's very few people that can relate to
- 26:16Speaker 1: what you have gone through. Most of the people talking
- 26:19Speaker 1: about it probably have not dealt with what you've dealt with.
- 26:21Speaker 1: So I think the forgiveness is coming more for the
- 26:24Speaker 1: sake of you and your peace than it is for
- 26:27Speaker 1: that person. So I have a lot of I admire
- 26:32Speaker 1: not only you, but your story, and I know he
- 26:34Speaker 1: does too. Any final thoughts from you debo on just
- 26:37Speaker 1: the strength that he has shown.
- 26:39Speaker 3: He's the strongest dogs. You ask me, be honest with you.
- 26:42Speaker 3: But enough of the sad stuff.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I know, I mean sad but also sad,
- 26:48Speaker 1: but it is also very happy, you know. It's like
- 26:49Speaker 1: it's just you're You're an inspiration to many.
- 26:53Speaker 2: So definitely.
- 26:57Speaker 3: From Tip Arizona andended up at Arizona State, ended up
- 27:02Speaker 3: transferring to Florida. What was your recruitment like, like offers
- 27:08Speaker 3: any other schools you was thinking about going to White
- 27:11Speaker 3: Arizona and White transfer.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:14Speaker 4: In high school, I just feel like I was balling.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Like I felt like I was balling and I wasn't
- 27:18Speaker 5: really getting too many looks, like I really wasn't. Like
- 27:21Speaker 5: I had some small school offers, I think going into
- 27:24Speaker 5: my junior year, and then after my junior year, Arizona
- 27:28Speaker 5: State offered me, and then I had like a little
- 27:31Speaker 5: bit more packed twelve schools, but other than that, like
- 27:33Speaker 5: I had just a bunch of like smaller schools. And
- 27:35Speaker 5: I feel like that's like the moment where I like,
- 27:38Speaker 5: I always had a chipping my shoulder, but like that's
- 27:40Speaker 5: where I like really start like having a chipping my
- 27:42Speaker 5: shoulder where I feel disrespected and I never want to
- 27:44Speaker 5: feel disrespected. That's like really one of my joving forces
- 27:47Speaker 5: to this day, you know what I mean. And while
- 27:48Speaker 5: I play the game, and then I committed Arison the state,
- 27:53Speaker 5: and then from there, you know, obviously there was a
- 27:55Speaker 5: bunch of situations that happened over there.
- 27:57Speaker 4: You know, we had a bunch of people transferring.
- 27:58Speaker 5: Now we got in trouble for like the recruiting allegations
- 28:01Speaker 5: and stuff like that, so we had a bunch of
- 28:02Speaker 5: coaches leave. And then that's when I entered the portal.
- 28:05Speaker 5: And then that's when I got like people were showing
- 28:07Speaker 5: love that. You know, I had some I had some
- 28:09Speaker 5: offers then, but Florida looked good for me. So you
- 28:12Speaker 5: know that's why over there Florida boy, and I love Florida.
- 28:16Speaker 1: So I was just gonna see I was just going
- 28:18Speaker 1: to ask how he liked Florida, But then you would
- 28:19Speaker 1: have thought I was comparing the same.
- 28:21Speaker 2: That's not the same, because he had a reason to
- 28:23Speaker 2: go to like I.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Lovela, do you soft Florida?
- 28:26Speaker 5: I love it, I love it, I loved tear and
- 28:27Speaker 5: put I love Do you go there at South Florida?
- 28:30Speaker 4: I would if I could.
- 28:31Speaker 1: I was gonna say you kind of schedule has allowed
- 28:39Speaker 1: you kind of already answered this, but you feel like
- 28:41Speaker 1: transferring was a blessing. Oh yeah, it was what you
- 28:44Speaker 1: needed to do.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 28:45Speaker 5: I think it put me on my comfort zone too,
- 28:47Speaker 5: you know, like you said, I was in Tempe, you know,
- 28:49Speaker 5: so like that was next door, like so I knew
- 28:52Speaker 5: it was.
- 28:52Speaker 4: Everything was familiar. I wanted to.
- 28:54Speaker 5: I mean, that's damn near all the way across the
- 28:57Speaker 5: Dann country. So you know that definitely put me out
- 28:59Speaker 5: my comfort zone and helped me grow as a person.
- 29:01Speaker 5: I'm glad I did. I met a lot of good
- 29:03Speaker 5: people on the way there, and I feel like it
- 29:06Speaker 5: formed me into a new man.
- 29:07Speaker 4: You know, I had to grow up, you know, away from.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Phases of life that have grown you for sure.
- 29:14Speaker 2: And shaped you. You jump out there, you by yourself,
- 29:17Speaker 2: You can't you don't know how to They too far
- 29:20Speaker 2: that Arizona and Florida.
- 29:22Speaker 1: I think the biggest shock for a lot of people
- 29:24Speaker 1: when they go to college is laundry.
- 29:27Speaker 5: Oh yeah, my laundry was stacking up. But then I realized, yeah,
- 29:30Speaker 5: I can't have I need to wear it is so
- 29:32Speaker 5: you know how.
- 29:32Speaker 4: To do my loundic.
- 29:33Speaker 2: I mean they was getting a good nil money. You know,
- 29:37Speaker 2: people to do laundry.
- 29:39Speaker 1: It's fair. I wasn't getting an il, so I had
- 29:41Speaker 1: to do my own laundry. Word, did you was nil
- 29:45Speaker 1: pretty prevalent when you were in college? It would have
- 29:47Speaker 1: been right, Yeah, So.
- 29:48Speaker 5: I think it was just getting big right when I
- 29:50Speaker 5: entered the portal. So it was so weird, like I
- 29:53Speaker 5: wasn't used to that. Like I got into portal and
- 29:54Speaker 5: I feel like the first conversation I had with the
- 29:57Speaker 5: coach was what wasn't even a coach, It was the
- 29:59Speaker 5: ni L Like, I don't know some do that works
- 30:02Speaker 5: for the top of the nil situation on the school.
- 30:05Speaker 5: They were like calling me, They're like, what's your market value?
- 30:08Speaker 5: I'm like my market value, I'm like I'm trying to.
- 30:11Speaker 4: Think of a number in my head.
- 30:12Speaker 5: Got like trying to shoot for the stars. I don't
- 30:15Speaker 5: know what I said at the time, but that was
- 30:16Speaker 5: the first time I heard market value. So that actually
- 30:19Speaker 5: changed my mind a little bit thinking about it. But
- 30:21Speaker 5: at the end of the day, I just.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Wanted to keep a football.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Yeah, did you? I mean, I guess even now, like
- 30:28Speaker 1: just like the brand deals and the way things are,
- 30:31Speaker 1: do you like the idea of nil.
- 30:33Speaker 4: I think so? Okay, Yeah, I definitely think that Nio
- 30:36Speaker 4: is a good thing.
- 30:36Speaker 5: I think you can be using a good thing too
- 30:38Speaker 5: as well, you know for sure, And like you got
- 30:41Speaker 5: to think about like a lot of these kids, you know,
- 30:43Speaker 5: come from nothing too, so you know, they got to
- 30:45Speaker 5: be able to support themselves, especially kids going outside the state,
- 30:48Speaker 5: you know, going away from their family. They gotta be
- 30:50Speaker 5: able to, you know, support themselves. And they deserve it,
- 30:52Speaker 5: you know, they're I mean, they're a big part of
- 30:54Speaker 5: the reason why, especially these big household names that are
- 30:57Speaker 5: bringing in all these kinds of money.
- 30:59Speaker 4: You know. So I feel like it's definitely a good thing.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Ten years ago, yeah it should have been a thing.
- 31:05Speaker 1: How much money do you think Divo would have made it?
- 31:07Speaker 4: If an Il a whole lot?
- 31:09Speaker 5: Who was I telling this I think I was telling
- 31:10Speaker 5: Collie this the other day or yesterday. I was like,
- 31:12Speaker 5: I used to watch Depo's highlights when I was in
- 31:14Speaker 5: high school because they were talking about when you first
- 31:16Speaker 5: got drafted in twenty nineteen.
- 31:18Speaker 4: That's when I graduated high school.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Yeah, so I used to watch old Oh my gosh,
- 31:23Speaker 1: you're so old.
- 31:24Speaker 5: So that's when I like, the highlights will pop up
- 31:27Speaker 5: in my life YouTube channel.
- 31:28Speaker 4: I'll just click on it. Yeah, what about his game
- 31:31Speaker 4: did you.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Love when you were watching?
- 31:34Speaker 5: I think the biggest part that sticks out of his
- 31:35Speaker 5: game is obviously what he does with the bonus hards.
- 31:38Speaker 3: It's like a bull I'll be telling him all the time,
- 31:41Speaker 3: he's like a bulldozer. He'd be like, what you be doing?
- 31:43Speaker 3: I say, you got to run where people not run?
- 31:46Speaker 3: Thinks it's where you know?
- 31:48Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny as like a casual like
- 31:50Speaker 1: a non football player, obviously football, but as a watcher
- 31:54Speaker 1: of football. The amount of times that I'm screaming at
- 31:56Speaker 1: my TV like why are you running into traffic? What
- 31:59Speaker 1: are you doing?
- 31:59Speaker 4: But I know it's obviously it makes it sound so easy.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Right, And that's exactly what I was just about to
- 32:03Speaker 1: say is He literally just said, like, just run where
- 32:06Speaker 1: people are at and I'm like, that is very funny.
- 32:08Speaker 2: You can't go anywhere, do you have to do what
- 32:10Speaker 2: you got to do.
- 32:11Speaker 1: But it's funny because your perspective is someone on the field.
- 32:13Speaker 1: I do feel like one of the things that Debo
- 32:16Speaker 1: is so good at is he's able to like almost
- 32:18Speaker 1: see the game from a bird's eye view, which is
- 32:22Speaker 1: what the what the casual football fans see, which is
- 32:24Speaker 1: why I'm saying the same thing he does. I'm like,
- 32:26Speaker 1: just run where there's no people. And it's like, when
- 32:28Speaker 1: you're on the field, that's not as easy, but for Debo,
- 32:31Speaker 1: he makes it sometimes look that easy, so you see
- 32:35Speaker 1: it from a different point of view.
- 32:37Speaker 4: There was one player that you had. I think we
- 32:39Speaker 4: were watching the film one day.
- 32:41Speaker 5: I think it was a Giants Giants you like, and
- 32:47Speaker 5: it was like a dude he could not see, Like
- 32:49Speaker 5: there was no way, Like he had to have eyes.
- 32:51Speaker 4: In the back of his head when he did that.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Do you have eyes on the back of your head?
- 32:53Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes it's that movie evil ego. I thought this
- 33:00Speaker 2: movie over, Oh it was back in the day, the
- 33:03Speaker 2: old Ahead.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Draft.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Night, Yeah, how was it the whole story. You knew
- 33:12Speaker 3: you was going in the first round, any other teams
- 33:16Speaker 3: beside the Niners, you thought that was going to make
- 33:18Speaker 3: their call.
- 33:20Speaker 5: So the whole situation, if I knew I was one
- 33:22Speaker 5: of my first round, I was hoping I did, but
- 33:25Speaker 5: I didn't know for a fact if I was or not.
- 33:27Speaker 5: You know, it was still it was kind of in
- 33:30Speaker 5: that little weird fine line where there was teams telling
- 33:33Speaker 5: me to make sure that I'm watching the draft and
- 33:35Speaker 5: like having something with my family. So they were like
- 33:38Speaker 5: hinting at that they were hearing me in the first round.
- 33:40Speaker 5: But you know, talking to my age and stuff, like,
- 33:42Speaker 5: we always try to be realistic, you know, we always
- 33:44Speaker 5: try to be realistic. And I thought I was going
- 33:45Speaker 5: early second after the entire process with the Combine, Senior
- 33:49Speaker 5: Bowl stuff like that, obviously, like I performed on all
- 33:52Speaker 5: those things and boosting my draft stock. So that's where
- 33:54Speaker 5: we were kind of thinking of. And we didn't talk
- 33:58Speaker 5: to the Niners like at all. The only time I
- 34:00Speaker 5: talked to the Niners was at the Senior Bowl for
- 34:02Speaker 5: like ten minutes, Like I had like a ten minute
- 34:04Speaker 5: conversation on like those like little speed date things you
- 34:06Speaker 5: went to the Senior Bowl.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, the coaches. Oh for real, Yeah, I
- 34:11Speaker 3: played for the Niners at the Senior Bowl.
- 34:13Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, so you know what I'm talking about, that speed
- 34:15Speaker 5: day and stuff like intermediates. So that's the only time
- 34:18Speaker 5: I met with the Niners. And then, like I told
- 34:21Speaker 5: my family, I was like, and the I think the
- 34:24Speaker 5: Chiefs coach from the Chiefs receiver coaches. When I got
- 34:27Speaker 5: off a zoom with them, they were telling me, They're like,
- 34:29Speaker 5: make sure you like you're watching on draft night the
- 34:33Speaker 5: first day.
- 34:33Speaker 4: And I was like, you're.
- 34:34Speaker 5: Probably right, because when we had the second day, plan
- 34:37Speaker 5: to you know, watch the draft because that's where we
- 34:39Speaker 5: thought we were going. And so we threw a little
- 34:41Speaker 5: party for that. I had my family, but it was
- 34:43Speaker 5: like a smaller party. It was like just my my
- 34:45Speaker 5: family members from both sides of my family and then
- 34:49Speaker 5: just like some friends.
- 34:50Speaker 4: And then you know, we had to tell you on
- 34:53Speaker 4: we were watching it.
- 34:53Speaker 5: And then I was maybe thinking the Vikings out of
- 34:57Speaker 5: the receiver coach like me over there a lot, but
- 34:59Speaker 5: I didn't I think he was gonna take me, you know,
- 35:02Speaker 5: And and then I was thinking the Chiefs maybe, and
- 35:04Speaker 5: then they ended up trading and then because they were
- 35:08Speaker 5: they were pick thirty two at the time, right, and
- 35:09Speaker 5: then they traded up to get Day and then uh,
- 35:13Speaker 5: the Niners popped up. And at that moment, after I
- 35:15Speaker 5: saw the Chiefs, you know that pick go away, I
- 35:18Speaker 5: was like this done for the night. I was like, Oh,
- 35:19Speaker 5: it's probably not gonna happen to that guys, you know,
- 35:21Speaker 5: as expected like nobody expected really.
- 35:23Speaker 2: That to happen.
- 35:24Speaker 5: So I put my phone down on my like on
- 35:26Speaker 5: my knee, and that's like right when the Niners like
- 35:28Speaker 5: popped up on there, put my phone on my knee,
- 35:30Speaker 5: and I was just chilling on the couch talking to
- 35:32Speaker 5: my family. All of a sudden, I feel my like
- 35:34Speaker 5: my leg vibrated and I'm like, oh, what the And
- 35:36Speaker 5: I pick it up and it's just California and I
- 35:38Speaker 5: was like, oh ship, And it was like five minutes
- 35:43Speaker 5: left on my TV. So I'm like, oh, they're calling
- 35:44Speaker 5: me like late. Yeah, they must have really had some discussions.
- 35:47Speaker 5: And so then that's when I picked up the phone.
- 35:49Speaker 5: And you think that to another and then that's when
- 35:52Speaker 5: I saw Deebo later the next day.
- 35:54Speaker 1: What was your reaction when you when you found out
- 35:56Speaker 1: you guys got Rocky.
- 35:58Speaker 3: You know, I didn't you know, I didn't really watch
- 36:00Speaker 3: college football a lot, but that catch. When I seen
- 36:07Speaker 3: that catch, I was like, all right, let me go
- 36:08Speaker 3: watch what's going on because I really watched Xavier look gay.
- 36:12Speaker 3: You know it's a little bro. Both of them boys
- 36:14Speaker 3: real good friends. And I got to watch it. I
- 36:16Speaker 3: was like, all right, we got we got us something.
- 36:18Speaker 2: And then I had hit BA. I was like, yo,
- 36:20Speaker 2: we just got to wire it out.
- 36:21Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, I know, little Ricky d And
- 36:24Speaker 3: ever since then, like you know, the next day he
- 36:26Speaker 3: was with his people about one hundred deep in the
- 36:28Speaker 3: club and I was like, and I was like, I
- 36:31Speaker 3: was like that rick right there. And then my boys,
- 36:33Speaker 3: Kelly and them boys, they was like, yeah, I think
- 36:35Speaker 3: that Ricky. And then you know, went over there and
- 36:38Speaker 3: then it's his. Then we just been having a ball.
- 36:40Speaker 1: One thing led to another, and now you guys are
- 36:43Speaker 1: friends for life.
- 36:43Speaker 2: For sure.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, a little bit of NFL talk here, Debo,
- 36:47Speaker 1: you want to take it away on the NFL talk, Let's.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Just talk about this. You know, we played, yeah, every
- 36:54Speaker 2: team on the left but Washington. We played mm hmmm,
- 37:03Speaker 2: two teams. Yeah, two teams from the other side.
- 37:08Speaker 3: All right, so I think I filled out my breakeet
- 37:10Speaker 3: last week break, but then just change. Yeah, let's let's
- 37:15Speaker 3: let's fill out this breakeet. Will you fill out the
- 37:16Speaker 3: bracket first?
- 37:19Speaker 5: All right, we'll start from the top left. I got
- 37:22Speaker 5: the Vikings. I got the Vikings winning that game, and
- 37:27Speaker 5: then I got the Commanders. I think they'll win that game.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Are you being vice?
- 37:33Speaker 4: Maybe it might be. And then I got the Eagles
- 37:37Speaker 4: winning that game.
- 37:39Speaker 3: And so you got the Eagles playing Washington and uh
- 37:44Speaker 3: Detroit playing Minnesota?
- 37:45Speaker 4: Correct, yeah, m hm. And then dang, the Vicans just
- 37:50Speaker 4: played Detroit.
- 37:51Speaker 2: So man, I don't know. I thought it was gonna
- 37:54Speaker 2: be a better game.
- 37:54Speaker 5: I thought it was too, So that's why i'mleating towards
- 37:56Speaker 5: the Lions. I'm gonna I think I'm gonna go for
- 37:58Speaker 5: the I'm gonna go with Lions right there, okay. And
- 38:01Speaker 5: then I got the Commanders again. I mean, they're they
- 38:04Speaker 5: already played against each.
- 38:05Speaker 4: Other, and you know, they put it off.
- 38:07Speaker 2: They be scratching when they be playing though, yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 4: Exactly, they be pulling through the quarter.
- 38:12Speaker 5: And then uh ibby against Commanders, I'm gonna go Commanders
- 38:18Speaker 5: a game.
- 38:19Speaker 4: I'm gonna just bet on them Commanders.
- 38:22Speaker 2: You know he played with Jayden.
- 38:24Speaker 1: I mean he is he is such a baller. I
- 38:29Speaker 1: mean he is so fun to watch. Okay, quick question,
- 38:31Speaker 1: is there is there a ton of truth to as
- 38:34Speaker 1: a feeling as players that it's tough to beat the
- 38:37Speaker 1: same team twice?
- 38:41Speaker 4: Obviously we know you've played the.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Same team twice. Yeah, you played Seattle twice.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Right, No, you was out the first time Cardinals.
- 38:50Speaker 4: I was out that too.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
- 38:52Speaker 2: That's so he don't know nothing about a rookie wall yet.
- 38:57Speaker 4: So well, now I'm not gonna have a rookie wall.
- 38:59Speaker 4: I'm not gonna ever experience it.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Now, he's not going to experience a rookie wall, you know,
- 39:02Speaker 3: like when you first come in, you're like, all right,
- 39:03Speaker 3: we in camp.
- 39:05Speaker 2: All right?
- 39:05Speaker 3: He was this eighteen week long season. All right, I'm tired.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Because I was talking to Pony the other day. Pony
- 39:12Speaker 3: was like, bro, I hit their rookie wall like seven
- 39:14Speaker 3: weeks ago. He was like, bro, I'm tired. But yeah, Bro,
- 39:19Speaker 3: I'm just.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Saying because for the Vikings versus Lions, like maybe there's
- 39:24Speaker 1: a world where because they just played so quickly they
- 39:29Speaker 1: play earlier in the two, Yes, they would have, and
- 39:32Speaker 1: I don't know how that first game ended, definitely.
- 39:36Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 39:36Speaker 1: They just played so recently that maybe the Vikings upset.
- 39:40Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be a way better game
- 39:41Speaker 2: than I will say this.
- 39:43Speaker 4: I think that Justin Jefferson is gonna have go off.
- 39:47Speaker 1: He's so good.
- 39:48Speaker 4: I think he's gonna go off just because this last.
- 39:50Speaker 5: Game that they were trying to like, you know, say
- 39:52Speaker 5: that he got clamped, but like that put on them.
- 39:55Speaker 5: I think he's gonna come with like a chaster class.
- 39:57Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's gonna go crazy. So I don't know.
- 39:59Speaker 4: I'mnight have to I really think about that one.
- 40:02Speaker 1: But I don't know, you know what, honestly, Like I
- 40:06Speaker 1: maybe this is a hot take. I don't think we'll
- 40:08Speaker 1: see either one seed in the super Bowl.
- 40:11Speaker 2: I told you who I like, Like, I like Baltimore.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Let's move over to the FC.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I like Baltimore.
- 40:18Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie. That's where I was going with
- 40:19Speaker 5: it too. So Houston against Charger, I think the Chargers
- 40:22Speaker 5: will go I'm not gonna lie Charges to get Houston. Yeah,
- 40:25Speaker 5: just because I've seen like something about like when they
- 40:27Speaker 5: play like winning teams. Their record is kind of iffy,
- 40:31Speaker 5: So you go by what the people.
- 40:32Speaker 6: Say by analytics, analytics, just like everybody else does, right,
- 40:39Speaker 6: And then I think the Chiefs will get them the Chargers,
- 40:42Speaker 6: and then I'm gonna go Baltimore.
- 40:46Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Buffalo. That's gonna be that's gonna be
- 40:48Speaker 5: a that's gonna be a good game. That's the game
- 40:51Speaker 5: I'm saying. I'm saying it's gonna be a good game
- 40:53Speaker 5: between the Ravens and Buffalo.
- 40:55Speaker 2: The better.
- 40:57Speaker 4: I still mess though, he's good.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Started, No, get me started on that because that okay,
- 41:06Speaker 1: in all fairness, Broncos are like not people don't think
- 41:10Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to do anything against Buffalo. I
- 41:12Speaker 1: think that could be a good game between the two.
- 41:13Speaker 4: It's always gonna be a good game. I feel like
- 41:15Speaker 4: in the playoffs.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, fix your face.
- 41:20Speaker 2: It's nothing against the Broncos. Like I hear, I hear
- 41:23Speaker 2: the Broncos every week.
- 41:26Speaker 4: So what there's I just I'll give you that they're
- 41:29Speaker 4: a sleeper sleep.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I like the Bills though, that's fair most people do.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I like.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Do you like the Bills?
- 41:39Speaker 2: Yo?
- 41:41Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to be realistic.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Josh Allen's all right, but you're not a diehard, like
- 41:46Speaker 2: she's not Award.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Tell you here's what I think is going to stand
- 41:49Speaker 1: in the Broncos way of doing any doing a deep
- 41:52Speaker 1: playoff run. I think they have a championship level defense.
- 41:55Speaker 1: I really do. I think bone Knicks, when he goes
- 41:57Speaker 1: toe to toe against really great quarterbacks, can be really
- 42:00Speaker 1: really great. I think Sean Payton's a great head coach.
- 42:03Speaker 1: It's their run game. They do not have a reliable
- 42:06Speaker 1: run game, and I think that's gonna kill him in
- 42:08Speaker 1: the playoffs.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Okay, all right, talking.
- 42:10Speaker 1: James Cook and Josh Allen that comedation.
- 42:11Speaker 3: All right, So we got Baltimore in the Bills the
- 42:15Speaker 3: m v P, and I got, I got Lamar Jackson,
- 42:18Speaker 3: she got Lamar and and the Chiefs, and then.
- 42:22Speaker 4: I got I got Lamar again.
- 42:23Speaker 2: I got So you've got Lamar and oh you got?
- 42:28Speaker 2: Oh who you got? Winning?
- 42:32Speaker 5: I think I think you know, I miss I missed
- 42:35Speaker 5: Void j I think it might be Lamar's year this year.
- 42:39Speaker 5: I think the rate is gonna get him.
- 42:40Speaker 2: That's what I said.
- 42:41Speaker 1: I think everybody would have liked that for Lamar I
- 42:44Speaker 1: know I personally will too. So you've got the commanders,
- 42:50Speaker 1: You've got the commanders coming out of the NFC. I
- 42:53Speaker 1: think they could. I mean, they have it, They've got
- 42:55Speaker 1: what they need.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Tells me you're line, But all right, some.
- 43:01Speaker 1: What that I don't agree you think, I'm I don't
- 43:03Speaker 1: agree with him. I think that it'll be the Eagles.
- 43:08Speaker 1: I like Saquon Barkley a lot.
- 43:10Speaker 4: He's the only issue I was.
- 43:12Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, you know, I gotta have my doughter
- 43:14Speaker 5: Jaden's back on this one. But is just going crazy
- 43:18Speaker 5: so hard.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Behind that good ass officer line and with his ability
- 43:24Speaker 3: to do what he've done before, he really really had
- 43:26Speaker 3: a good one.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Like it's just you know, yeah, that's a player you
- 43:30Speaker 1: can root for. Though, Like I'm so happy to see
- 43:32Speaker 1: him on a team that knows how to use him,
- 43:34Speaker 1: appreciates him, and he's just like he's tearing it up.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Let's not talk college football. I know, Arizona State are
- 43:44Speaker 1: they stilling? They lost? I told you it's tough. So
- 43:53Speaker 1: where are you guys at with Penn State versus Notre
- 43:56Speaker 1: Dame and Ohio State versus Texas. Okay, here we go.
- 44:01Speaker 2: There it is this this this.
- 44:02Speaker 3: Little young fello over there in Ohio State's Jerremid Smith.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Bro.
- 44:09Speaker 4: You know, I hope, I hope someone on a visit
- 44:11Speaker 4: to Florida.
- 44:12Speaker 2: He's a dog like.
- 44:14Speaker 4: He's a good kid, got a good family.
- 44:16Speaker 3: So you think that, you think, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry
- 44:20Speaker 3: my bulldogs upsetters, but I'm going Ohio State. They can't
- 44:24Speaker 3: like that offense is just crazy. In another note, how
- 44:28Speaker 3: you not left the starting quarterback on the stage after
- 44:32Speaker 3: the game.
- 44:34Speaker 1: That was crazy work. No, seriously, that crazy work.
- 44:38Speaker 4: You cannot somebody, But yeah, I got so.
- 44:45Speaker 3: I watched Penn State against Boise and their defense was
- 44:50Speaker 3: her defense is crazy. So I'm going to Ohio State.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Penn State didn't gord.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Okay, so Ohio State wins it all Ricky, where are
- 44:58Speaker 1: you at, no Ohio State?
- 45:02Speaker 4: Yes he is, Yeah, all right, I'm gonna go. I'm
- 45:05Speaker 4: going to Ohio State on that side, and I'm gonna go.
- 45:07Speaker 1: Notre Dame and then who's winning at all?
- 45:12Speaker 4: I'm going out stay.
- 45:16Speaker 1: I'm just relieved that Georgia got eliminated because every time
- 45:18Speaker 1: we talk about there, it goes. I said him, I
- 45:21Speaker 1: literally I I totally helped with that. I let him
- 45:25Speaker 1: walk right into that door. But yeah, he was big
- 45:28Speaker 1: on Georgia and then well.
- 45:30Speaker 4: He's the SEC guy he got to be of course.
- 45:33Speaker 4: I mean like Texas is like fake.
- 45:35Speaker 2: You know, he didn't go to Arizona State was see you?
- 45:38Speaker 1: So I don't like Texas. Hornstown cool always anything else.
- 45:43Speaker 3: Steve all Right, if Jeremy Smith can be one and done,
- 45:48Speaker 3: would he be the first pick in this draft?
- 45:52Speaker 5: I don't think. I don't think that would take him
- 45:54Speaker 5: my first just because he's so young. I don't think he.
- 45:56Speaker 4: Would be the first. And like, is there how many
- 45:59Speaker 4: receivers have been the first overall pit in the NFL drive.
- 46:03Speaker 2: I think the closest was probably Sammy white Is back
- 46:06Speaker 2: in the day.
- 46:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no idea.
- 46:10Speaker 2: He is only nineteen.
- 46:11Speaker 5: I mean nineteen is like yeah, I mean, I mean
- 46:14Speaker 5: there's I guess there's president cons because he's gonna get
- 46:16Speaker 5: so many years in the league, you know, being young
- 46:18Speaker 5: and being able to have that prime then you.
- 46:20Speaker 3: Know that I'm telling you that that that mental capacity,
- 46:23Speaker 3: that physical capacity of the game now and nineteen years old,
- 46:29Speaker 3: that's anything. What you think, both what you think or not.
- 46:32Speaker 3: I just think he's I was talking. I forgot who
- 46:35Speaker 3: I was talking to this about in the locker room.
- 46:37Speaker 3: For it's like you know, being one and done in
- 46:40Speaker 3: college and coming straight to the league. I don't think
- 46:41Speaker 3: it a I don't think of it all pan out
- 46:44Speaker 3: the way people think it would, just because of, you know,
- 46:49Speaker 3: the amount of work on the amount of time you
- 46:51Speaker 3: got to put in this. So it's not really all
- 46:54Speaker 3: like the football aspect of it. It's about, you know,
- 46:57Speaker 3: the details, the amount of time you got to put
- 47:00Speaker 3: in meetings and like how you be how you sitting
- 47:03Speaker 3: in the chair all day for four or five hours
- 47:05Speaker 3: and then you gotta go practice and you got to
- 47:09Speaker 3: go out there and practice what they just gave you
- 47:11Speaker 3: like three four hours ago, and you got to do
- 47:13Speaker 3: a perfection cause like and like how we operate, you know,
- 47:18Speaker 3: like we get the place, we go, walk through, go
- 47:20Speaker 3: to practice, and in my eyes, if like you go
- 47:23Speaker 3: out there and you fuck up to play that he
- 47:24Speaker 3: got called for you, then he's second guessing you're not
- 47:27Speaker 3: going to get that play again until it's time for
- 47:29Speaker 3: going to call in the game.
- 47:30Speaker 2: So it's just like I think it's more so like
- 47:33Speaker 2: the mental part, how much.
- 47:34Speaker 3: Time you got to put in and you know it's
- 47:37Speaker 3: you really at work with with your guys more than
- 47:41Speaker 3: you at home with your people.
- 47:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:42Speaker 3: So I think it's it'supposed CAUs to it though, But
- 47:46Speaker 3: the athletic ability, Yeah, he definitely got it, that's no question.
- 47:50Speaker 1: There's only been two that have gone first overall.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Only two, Keisha un Judging and Irving.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Yeah, Irving fryaring wrong. Yeah, So there you go. We'll
- 48:07Speaker 1: end the show with this any fun slash funny stories
- 48:12Speaker 1: of Jade and Daniels because he really I think he
- 48:18Speaker 1: is becoming a just a crowd favorite, doesn't matter who
- 48:22Speaker 1: you root for and who your team is. I think
- 48:24Speaker 1: he's a very likable Yeah, he's.
- 48:26Speaker 4: Very like you know, he's uh, he's got a good
- 48:28Speaker 4: family too. He's a good kid. But I think the
- 48:33Speaker 4: just something about him.
- 48:34Speaker 5: He's just always like he's got like this competitive thing
- 48:37Speaker 5: where it's like it's an off field thing too, Like
- 48:39Speaker 5: he's just always just trying to talk crap, Like he's
- 48:41Speaker 5: just always a talk smack all the.
- 48:43Speaker 4: Time, but it's like a friendly talk smack.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Yeah, we just messed with each other.
- 48:45Speaker 5: But I don't know if I have like a real specific,
- 48:48Speaker 5: like funny story of him that I can say, right
- 48:52Speaker 5: that you're allowed to I'm allowed to say.
- 48:54Speaker 1: So you know, I'm gonna did you predict that? Like,
- 48:58Speaker 1: I know, he's your your guy, so try to remove it.
- 49:03Speaker 1: But did you think that he was going to be
- 49:05Speaker 1: this great this quickly in the NFL?
- 49:08Speaker 5: I knew he always had it in like actually since
- 49:11Speaker 5: like they wanted to be honest, uh, you know, being
- 49:13Speaker 5: a freshman in Arizona State, and the way that he
- 49:15Speaker 5: stepped into the role that you know they gave him,
- 49:17Speaker 5: just giving him the keys.
- 49:18Speaker 4: Of the team, and the way that he performed in
- 49:20Speaker 4: his first year with actually BA, you know, it.
- 49:24Speaker 5: Was it was you could just see it right away
- 49:25Speaker 5: that he was you know, he was destined for it,
- 49:27Speaker 5: and you know people try to write him off, you
- 49:29Speaker 5: know after the second year that he had and you know,
- 49:31Speaker 5: there was a little bit of coaching changes happening, new playbook,
- 49:35Speaker 5: new guys in the building, you know, and sometimes things
- 49:37Speaker 5: just don't work out, you know, the way they should
- 49:39Speaker 5: and people don't get along the way they should, and
- 49:42Speaker 5: you know, and then he made his transition over LSU
- 49:45Speaker 5: and then from there I.
- 49:46Speaker 4: Was just like, yeah, that's the that's the Jayden Daniels.
- 49:48Speaker 2: You know, like I went crazy.
- 49:49Speaker 4: Yeah, and then from there, like now, my expectation was
- 49:52Speaker 4: just so high for him.
- 49:53Speaker 5: It was just like, yeah, no, he's in going to
- 49:54Speaker 5: the league and just do what he does, you know
- 49:56Speaker 5: all the time, and you know how poised and confident
- 49:59Speaker 5: he is. But at the same time, how much he's
- 50:00Speaker 5: having fun in the field, Like you can't it's hard
- 50:02Speaker 5: to type a guy that's like just smiling in your
- 50:04Speaker 5: face on the football field.
- 50:05Speaker 1: And throwing four passing through exactly like.
- 50:09Speaker 5: He's literally like in your backyard, just like having fun,
- 50:11Speaker 5: Like that's how he plays, and it's awesome.
- 50:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. Yeah, he's been very fun to watch,
- 50:15Speaker 1: and it's been pretty cool to see two rookie quarterbacks
- 50:18Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean it just shows you. We
- 50:20Speaker 1: talk a lot about the young talent and how it's
- 50:23Speaker 1: just different, and I think we're starting to see a
- 50:26Speaker 1: very young and talented league. So it's cool to watch.
- 50:29Speaker 1: But I think that's it for the show. Yeah, this
- 50:32Speaker 1: has been another Cleats and combos with Deebo Samuel and
- 50:36Speaker 1: I just join him every once in a while, and
- 50:38Speaker 1: I'm Limp Moods And we had a very special guest,
