- 2:50Speaker 3: high school when like Florida was on that big rampage. Yeah.
- 2:53Speaker 3: So like a lot, we were all kind of ingesting

- 3:20Speaker 3: he said. Oh, he put his hand on the Bible
- 3:23Speaker 3: in front of the court. Said, all right. So he's
- 3:26Speaker 3: got some, allegedly got some stuff he wants to let out.
- 3:30Speaker 3: We haven't had him on yet. But he's, okay, you
- 3:32Speaker 3: don't want to bring it down too much. Okay, that's
- 3:33Speaker 3: totally fine. He'll be here in a little bit.
- 3:35Speaker 1: We'll get to dive in.
- 3:37Speaker 4: For people that missed last week, we had on Dusty Slay.
- 3:39Speaker 4: That was a phenomenal one. Cody, my brother, was texting
- 3:43Speaker 4: all about Dusty Slay. He loves some Dusty Slay. We
- 3:46Speaker 4: had a comment here. You want to be featured on
- 3:48Speaker 4: the show? We love to shout out callbacks, hashtag tear talk,
- 3:52Speaker 4: all of it. But we have a comment here from Amy. TX, Texas, Amy, Texas, 1999.
- 3:58Speaker 4: I didn't know this side of Dusty. Have enjoyed his
- 4:01Speaker 4: comedy for years and his interviews on podcasts, but this
- 4:04Speaker 4: was on another level and it even made me more
- 4:07Speaker 4: of a fan. I'm standing in my yard looking at
- 4:09Speaker 4: this guy and questioning what is real.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Laugh out loud. Big week for the Flat Earthers last week. Yeah,
- 4:14Speaker 3: big week for the Flat Earthers and then once again,
- 4:17Speaker 3: how susceptible I am to a good conversation. It's made me,
- 4:20Speaker 3: we got on the plane from Lubbock, Texas, going back
- 4:23Speaker 3: to Nashville and the first thing I said, ha, I
- 4:25Speaker 3: don't see a curve, fellas. I didn't see a curve.
- 4:28Speaker 4: When we got up in the air. I was trying
- 4:29Speaker 4: to look as far as I could and I'm like, man,
- 4:31Speaker 4: somebody brought up a good point. Like, how does the
- 4:32Speaker 4: moon and shit move the ocean? Then you should have
- 4:34Speaker 4: asked them that. You should have followed up with them
- 4:36Speaker 4: and asked them that.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Really, they asked that? Yeah, and I'm like, that's a
- 4:38Speaker 3: good question. Those people should have their own podcast to
- 4:40Speaker 3: ask that question.
- 4:41Speaker 4: I just don't have that kind of depth and scientific
- 4:44Speaker 4: research going on in my head at the time when
- 4:45Speaker 4: stuff's getting broken down. Because it's like, my logic says
- 4:50Speaker 4: the earth is round. However, I only think that's logic
- 4:52Speaker 4: because that's what I was told my entire life.
- 4:54Speaker 5: After what Dusty said, I was pitching Mackenzie on this
- 4:57Speaker 5: on the drive back through Chattanooga, and I hit her
- 4:59Speaker 5: with this, and I'd like to get everybody's thoughts, because
- 5:01Speaker 5: she was like, you just broke my brain. We're driving
- 5:04Speaker 5: in the daytime. We look up, and we see the moon.
- 5:06Speaker 5: See the moon in the middle of the day. And
- 5:08Speaker 5: I said, you're supposed to see the moon at night.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Does that mean that it's night for someone right now,
- 5:12Speaker 5: and they're not seeing the moon?
- 5:14Speaker 3: We Googled it.
- 5:15Speaker 5: AI had no answer for that. That really fits into
- 5:18Speaker 5: Dusty Slay's spin around.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I don't fully understand AI. What you said.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I don't even.
- 5:24Speaker 3: I don't either.
- 5:24Speaker 5: But if I'm seeing it during the day, that means
- 5:26Speaker 5: someone at night right now is not seeing the moon.
- 5:29Speaker 5: It broke my brain.
- 5:29Speaker 1: You can technically walk outside right now. Yes. You can
- 5:32Speaker 1: walk outside right now and you can find the moon.
- 5:34Speaker 1: It's there. It's bright. How? The moon is always up there.
- 5:37Speaker 1: For whatever reason, sometimes you can't see it. And it's like...
- 5:41Speaker 1: What he's saying is like, how does that make sense?
- 5:42Speaker 3: It orbits around the... Right? It's a part of Earth's
- 5:45Speaker 3: gravitational pull. The moon blocks the sun. Yeah.
- 5:47Speaker 5: It's not blocking it. I'm telling you, when you start
- 5:49Speaker 5: Googling it, AI starts... like scrambling.
- 5:52Speaker 3: It's like, I'm kind of scrambling. It broke our brain.
- 5:56Speaker 3: You got to orbit.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Tell them about the orbit. You got to orbit around
- 5:59Speaker 3: to where the moon gets in front of the sun
- 6:00Speaker 3: and then it blocks and it's nighttime. Because Earth's gravity
- 6:03Speaker 3: is pulling them, right?
- 6:04Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an eclipse. Isn't it kind of crazy? It's
- 6:08Speaker 3: kind of crazy.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Will, you're talking about like the moon phase?
- 6:10Speaker 3: Kevin, is that your food? Bad taste. Sure, his mind's blown.
- 6:15Speaker 3: He didn't know you could have those. I did not know.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Solar flares.
- 6:19Speaker 1: You're talking about You're talking about the moon phase where
- 6:23Speaker 1: it's like a crescent moon, half crescent, waxing crescent moon.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Waxing crescent. That's the earth.
- 6:26Speaker 1: That's the reflection. That's the earth putting a shadow on
- 6:30Speaker 1: the moon. Yeah.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Oh, shit. That's how that works?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yep.
- 6:34Speaker 3: I'm talking about full eclipse. We'll talk about when the
- 6:36Speaker 3: moon goes in front of the sun. Yeah, that's a
- 6:37Speaker 3: full eclipse.
- 6:38Speaker 4: That's definitely a full eclipse. We'll talk about that like
- 6:40Speaker 4: that happens every day. You got to wait for it
- 6:42Speaker 4: to block the sun because then it's nighttime. Then I'm like,
- 6:45Speaker 4: wait a minute.
- 6:46Speaker 5: AI was like, yeah, some people at night right now,
- 6:48Speaker 5: since you're seeing that, that means they don't have a moon.
- 6:51Speaker 3: The fuck does that mean?
- 6:52Speaker 1: Doesn't everyone have a moon? Yeah.
- 6:53Speaker 3: No, sometimes you don't see that thing. Yeah, but it's there. Apparently,
- 6:55Speaker 3: sometimes it's not there. No, it's always going to be there.
- 6:57Speaker 3: It's always there. It's not going anywhere. No, some people
- 6:59Speaker 3: don't have it. But you can't always see it. I
- 7:01Speaker 3: don't know about that. When there's clouds, you can't see it. No.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just not there. Yeah, do we have Dusty's number?
- 7:10Speaker 1: Yeah, should we call Dusty?
- 7:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Do we have Dusty's number?
- 7:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Yeah, call him.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Do you want to call him? FaceTime Dusty?
- 7:16Speaker 3: FaceTime Dusty. You want me to pitch him on this?
- 7:18Speaker 1: What am I saying?
- 7:18Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:19Speaker 1: You call him.
- 7:20Speaker 3: You call him. While you're calling Dusty, while you're calling Dusty,
- 7:24Speaker 3: we had another one from Aggie Rattlesnake. Grumpy Cop, please
- 7:26Speaker 3: arrest Marcel Reed. Grumpy Cop, alleged Grumpy Cop responded. Consider
- 7:31Speaker 3: it done.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Hunter069, is that the Grumpy Cop?
- 7:34Speaker 3: Is that him?
- 7:35Speaker 1: Alleged.
- 7:36Speaker 3: This is three weeks in a row, four weeks in
- 7:37Speaker 3: a row? Which one is it? Three, I believe. Three
- 7:39Speaker 3: weeks in a row of Grumpy Cop being in the
- 7:41Speaker 3: comments section of the Bust With The Boys episode. Just crazy.
- 7:46Speaker 3: The FBI got to Dusty, by the way.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Ryan Knapp's got a good shout in the comment section.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Ryan Knapp, 4964. Boys, get on Widow's Bay. Good spooktober series.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Great show. Have you guys seen Crystal Lake yet?
- 8:04Speaker 2: I started last night. Three episodes in.
- 8:07Speaker 3: It's good.
- 8:07Speaker 2: It's a new kind of take on the slasher from
- 8:09Speaker 2: the perspective of Jason's mom, really. But it's Linda Cardini-
- 8:15Speaker 2: She's Velma in Scooby-Doo, if you're curious.
- 8:18Speaker 3: Okay.
- 8:18Speaker 2: But so far, it's very intriguing. I'm waiting for it
- 8:23Speaker 2: to really get violent, but it's had some scenes where
- 8:26Speaker 2: you're like, oh, fuck. You kind of have to look away,
- 8:28Speaker 2: but you're still looking with one eye.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Oh, it's like that.
- 8:31Speaker 2: It's got some gore in it.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I know, because my whole... I love Friday the 13th.
- 8:35Speaker 3: It was one of the first ones, as a child,
- 8:37Speaker 3: I got into. The first movie. You're aware of the
- 8:38Speaker 3: first movie? How the mom is the whole time? So
- 8:42Speaker 3: it is interesting, because they always kind of like... There's
- 8:45Speaker 3: multiple movies, like Freddy vs. Jason, they brush over it,
- 8:48Speaker 3: like the third or fourth one, they kind of talk
- 8:50Speaker 3: a little bit more about what happened to Jason, how
- 8:53Speaker 3: he was bullied by the camp counselors, he drowns in
- 8:55Speaker 3: the water, mom goes crazy. I don't necessarily know, and
- 8:58Speaker 3: people in the conversation could definitely let me know, how
- 9:00Speaker 3: he gets resurrected. I haven't got there yet, at least in...
- 9:04Speaker 3: Because it'll be.
- 9:05Speaker 2: It's worth a watch though.
- 9:07Speaker 3: And I've also heard a bunch of stuff about Friday
- 9:09Speaker 3: the 13th, like the rights to that movie has been
- 9:11Speaker 3: in litigation since 2009 or whatever the last one came out.
- 9:16Speaker 3: I think we were in high school when it came out.
- 9:18Speaker 3: It's been in litigation. That's why there hasn't been a
- 9:20Speaker 3: new one since. And there's been so many different, you know,
- 9:22Speaker 3: Halloweens and other ones like that, like reboots of originals.
- 9:25Speaker 3: It'll be, I'd love to see that series as well.
- 9:28Speaker 3: But what's this other one about? And you've hit Widow's Bay.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Yeah, Widow's Bay is great. Widow's Bay is based in like,
- 9:34Speaker 2: it's like a new Martha's Vineyard that's up in the Northeast.
- 9:40Speaker 2: And they're trying to like resurrect this old town that
- 9:42Speaker 2: was like an old port town. Yeah, an island that
- 9:45Speaker 2: has a curse on it and all the people who
- 9:47Speaker 2: live on the island have lived there their whole lives.
- 9:49Speaker 2: It's kind of the basis of the show. A lot
- 9:51Speaker 2: of creepy stuff starts happening. They have a mayor there
- 9:54Speaker 2: who's trying to just like get all these tourists in
- 9:56Speaker 2: there and try to revitalize the island A lot of
- 9:59Speaker 2: spooky stuff starts happening.
- 10:00Speaker 6: It's haunted.
- 10:01Speaker 3: It kind of sounds like some village vibes, dude.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Anybody who's grown up there and lived just on that island,
- 10:06Speaker 4: if they go to the mainland, the minute when they
- 10:08Speaker 4: go to the mainland, they die.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Every example, someone who's left has died.
- 10:12Speaker 3: It's good. It's a good series. I love it. It's
- 10:13Speaker 3: got some jumpscares.
- 10:15Speaker 1: It's good. Does it really?
- 10:16Speaker 2: The main character who was in The Americans, I believe,
- 10:19Speaker 2: if you've ever seen that show, he's an awesome actor.
- 10:21Speaker 3: There's also in The Beast and Me.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:24Speaker 3: That guy is creepy. yeah he's good he's good i

- 11:01Speaker 2: Midnight Mass, is that what you are?
- 11:02Speaker 3: Midnight Mass, yeah, that's what it is. All those are
- 11:05Speaker 3: things I would love to get into. What happened?
- 11:07Speaker 2: Dusty can't talk right now, but he texted me back.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Of course he can. He's probably off the grid a
- 11:11Speaker 3: little bit.
- 11:12Speaker 7: All he said, I don't know if this makes sense
- 11:14Speaker 7: to anyone, but he said, well, when we have what's
- 11:17Speaker 7: known as a new moon... There is no moon in
- 11:20Speaker 7: the sky.
- 11:22Speaker 3: That's his response?
- 11:22Speaker 1: That was his response.
- 11:23Speaker 2: If that clarifies for anyone.
- 11:24Speaker 3: That might be something like just awoken somebody. Sounds to
- 11:26Speaker 3: me like somebody got dusty after our episode.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:28Speaker 3: We need to make sure we hear his voice when
- 11:30Speaker 3: we see his face before day's end. He was, guys,
- 11:32Speaker 3: I was kidding that day. It's all around. Hey, dude,
- 11:35Speaker 3: that was... one of the harder times I've laughed in
- 11:37Speaker 3: this episode when he talked about someone finding him and
- 11:40Speaker 3: he dies, then we all put our post about how
- 11:42Speaker 3: he's such a good dude. Hilarious.
- 11:44Speaker 1: We got to get more of this conspiracy.
- 11:45Speaker 3: On the series talk. Yeah. Uh, vol dash ball season three,
- 11:49Speaker 3: Chad powers busted and paid on campus in the show
- 11:52Speaker 3: would be incredible.
- 11:55Speaker 1: It's all there, man.
- 11:56Speaker 3: It's all there. It's just the creators of Chad powers.
- 11:59Speaker 3: If they can even, if someone could just have them
- 12:01Speaker 3: come across this, this bus and with the boys last
- 12:03Speaker 3: two episodes, uh, of us talking about how much we
- 12:05Speaker 3: love Chad Powers, how much we love to be in it,
- 12:07Speaker 3: how much we love to get all the boys from
- 12:08Speaker 3: Busted with the Boys on Chad Powers. You feel like
- 12:11Speaker 3: you're begging a little bit, I don't mind it, because
- 12:13Speaker 3: if it gets done, you know, at the end of
- 12:14Speaker 3: the day, I'm in. Well, and selling the show to
- 12:17Speaker 3: everybody else. Like, it is a good show. Yeah, season two.

- 13:27Speaker 3: Buddy Beach is the man. Dude, the stories. So anyway, listen,
- 13:31Speaker 3: we did Bustin' and Payin' on campus from Bloomington, Indiana.
- 13:34Speaker 3: We immediately get on a plane and we go to Lubbock, Texas.
- 13:36Speaker 3: We land in Lubbock, Texas, have about an hour break
- 13:38Speaker 3: in one of the grittier hotels you'll ever come across.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 13:42Speaker 3: I messed with that spot. That was a classic West
- 13:45Speaker 3: Texas hotel. We go to, was it Las?
- 13:49Speaker 1: Las Brisas.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Las Brisas.
- 13:51Speaker 2: And I'm sorry if I'm not pronouncing that correctly, but
- 13:53Speaker 2: I believe it's Las Brisas.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Go to Las Brisas. They were kind enough to get
- 13:56Speaker 3: us in. Shout out Joey McGuire for texting Buddy Beach
- 13:59Speaker 3: to get us in, I think, 8.30 Rezzy. Late Rezzy,
- 14:02Speaker 3: still got in. Amazing.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Amazing.
- 14:04Speaker 3: The tables are set up where there's a head of
- 14:05Speaker 3: the table. No one sits at that spot. Buddy Beach
- 14:08Speaker 3: walks up to us, introduces himself. He's incredible. He becomes
- 14:12Speaker 3: such a fascinating individual that we ask him to sit
- 14:14Speaker 3: down with us. We know he's a busy man. He
- 14:17Speaker 3: owns the restaurant. Sits down and starts talking about being
- 14:19Speaker 3: a land man, coming from Louisiana, coming over, working on
- 14:23Speaker 3: the oil rigs when he's 16 years old. finding his way,
- 14:26Speaker 3: talking about the American dream and then pointing to me
- 14:29Speaker 3: and Will being like, you guys are living the American
- 14:31Speaker 3: dream right now. And it starts breaking down. Hey, I
- 14:34Speaker 3: looked into you guys a little bit. This is how
- 14:36Speaker 3: amazing your guys' lives are. And I'm thinking to myself,
- 14:39Speaker 3: holy shit, we live the American dream. Like we're fucking
- 14:42Speaker 3: doing it. We're actually doing it right now. This is unbelievable.
- 14:45Speaker 3: But just the way he talks and you can see
- 14:47Speaker 3: like where at one point we're sitting at dinner and
- 14:48Speaker 3: he goes, that guy out there, oil gas, oil gas
- 14:52Speaker 3: right there, oil gas. And he's just, breaking down this wet,
- 14:56Speaker 3: like this little hub of billionaires. That's it. He texted
- 14:59Speaker 3: you about his planes that were at millionaire, the airport.
- 15:03Speaker 1: That was sick.
- 15:03Speaker 3: He's like, where are you guys flying out of?
- 15:05Speaker 1: I said, millionaire.
- 15:05Speaker 3: He said, yeah, I got two of my jets there.
- 15:08Speaker 3: He's talking about, he's talking about his partners. Hey, listen,
- 15:12Speaker 3: I do well for myself, but these guys, they do
- 15:14Speaker 3: much better.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Than I do.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Taylor's like, You seen the show Landman? Tell us some
- 15:18Speaker 4: Landman stories.
- 15:19Speaker 3: I go, this is definitely an ignorant question, but because
- 15:22Speaker 3: you live here and we've all seen Landman, like how
- 15:26Speaker 3: similar is it compared to that? And he starts breaking
- 15:29Speaker 3: it down. You're like, oh my God.
- 15:31Speaker 4: He's like the way they portray the wife, like going
- 15:33Speaker 4: to country clubs, shop, all that. He's like, that's pretty
- 15:36Speaker 4: spot on.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Which I thought was hilarious.
- 15:38Speaker 4: I was going to say that was pretty far-fetched, but
- 15:40Speaker 4: he's like, that's pretty spot on.
- 15:41Speaker 3: He's like, you grew up around here in Midland, Lubbock, Texas.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Like you- You see the mountains, three, four in the morning,
- 15:47Speaker 3: you see a bunch of trucks go by, you know,
- 15:48Speaker 3: you just don't mess with them. Yeah, we're like, tell
- 15:51Speaker 3: us some cartel stories. Yeah. The dude's basically just telling
- 15:54Speaker 3: us incredible stories. To the point where I think 30
- 15:57Speaker 3: minutes have gone by. Someone else, I think it was you, Clump,
- 15:59Speaker 3: you ordered all the appies. He's getting up from the
- 16:01Speaker 3: table as these incredible appetizers are laid down in front
- 16:04Speaker 3: of us. They got- The bacon-wrapped jalapenos? Bacon-wrapped jalapenos, what
- 16:08Speaker 3: they call jalapeno poppers, Texas Twinkies, whatever you want to
- 16:11Speaker 3: call them. Unbelievable. I smacked about five or six of them, boys.
- 16:14Speaker 3: No problem. Calamari. Full jalapenos, too. Full jalapenos. Big ones.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Fit boys.
- 16:19Speaker 4: The sashimi where you're like, do we do this in
- 16:22Speaker 4: West Texas?
- 16:23Speaker 3: But bang. Yeah, the minute you decide to finally dive in.
- 16:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 16:26Speaker 3: The lobster guacamole, which is a U-pull right there. Bro,
- 16:30Speaker 3: the meatballs.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Meatballs.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Smoked Wagyu meatballs. The raspberry filet. Yeah, raspberry filet. Son
- 16:37Speaker 3: of a bitch. When I'm like, hey, what's one thing
- 16:39Speaker 3: we should get on the menu? He starts going down things,
- 16:41Speaker 3: but he's like, the raspberry filet. Now, if you like
- 16:43Speaker 3: a little spice, I'm telling you, I'm like, raspberry? He's like,
- 16:46Speaker 3: comes crusted, the whole thing. It's a very hint. It's
- 16:48Speaker 3: got some cream cheese. Cream cheese, but it's like a
- 16:50Speaker 3: jalapeno cream cheese. Seeds left inside the jalapeno type of
- 16:52Speaker 3: cream cheese. Dude, unreal. We were there for two and
- 16:57Speaker 3: a half hours. We were there until about midnight.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:59Speaker 3: All right, until midnight. It's a point where lights are
- 17:02Speaker 3: on and they're like, you guys think about dessert? And
- 17:05Speaker 3: we're all ready to leave, but we're like.
- 17:07Speaker 4: In your body, your stomach, everything that you've done at
- 17:10Speaker 4: this dinner is like screaming.
- 17:12Speaker 3: You have no room. There's nothing left in there. For dessert.
- 17:15Speaker 3: Nothing left. He's like, you want dessert? And we're like,
- 17:17Speaker 3: we feel like you're kind of closing up shop, aren't you?
- 17:19Speaker 3: He goes, I know who's got the keys.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I go, all right.
- 17:22Speaker 3: I know the guy with the keys. I know him,
- 17:23Speaker 3: he say yes. Yeah.
- 17:25Speaker 4: But he starts rattling off the butter cake, the apple
- 17:27Speaker 4: pie that comes out on a skillet with ice cream.
- 17:29Speaker 3: It was just. The bread pudding. Let's just get a taste. Yeah,
- 17:35Speaker 3: let's dive in a little bit, dude. It was unbelievable.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Go home, pass out immediately. But hey, Tom. So, yeah. Tom. Tom. Oh, fuck.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Get Matt. We should get Matt for this.
- 17:49Speaker 7: Matt might go on a little too. He might go
- 17:52Speaker 7: on a little. I'll sum it up. Tom, die hard
- 17:55Speaker 7: from Lubbock. He let us know about 37 times throughout dinner.
- 17:59Speaker 7: Had a little too much to drink.
- 18:01Speaker 3: And let's go. He was a lot. We had a
- 18:05Speaker 3: crew next to our table that was neighbored up, and
- 18:07Speaker 3: this gentleman named Tom.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Shout out, Tom. He seems like a good guy, sober.
- 18:12Speaker 4: He's just talking the boys ear off the whole time. Fortunately,
- 18:15Speaker 4: we were seated on the other side, so it was
- 18:16Speaker 4: like Matt, it was Klump, it was Jack. It was
- 18:22Speaker 4: JP every now and then. But Mitch, I'm saying my
- 18:26Speaker 4: man is standing at the head of the table on
- 18:28Speaker 4: that end. Pretty much the whole time, as much as
- 18:31Speaker 4: he possibly can. We'll be engaged in our own conversation.
- 18:35Speaker 4: And he's tapping dudes on the shoulder, like trying to
- 18:37Speaker 4: get in the conversation. Trying to dummy Coleman a little bit. Yeah,
- 18:41Speaker 4: like they got us around. They tried getting us more rounds.
- 18:45Speaker 3: It's like, buddy, relax, man.
- 18:48Speaker 4: And his boys, if you're in that situation and you're
- 18:51Speaker 4: part of that crew and you have a buddy that
- 18:54Speaker 4: is bombarding another table, you've got to reel him in.
- 18:58Speaker 4: It's almost like they're a little scared of him. Like
- 19:00Speaker 4: maybe Tom's a little sideways when he's blacked out.
- 19:03Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 19:04Speaker 4: But it's like, hey, why aren't you guys getting your boy?
- 19:06Speaker 4: We're clearly trying to enjoy some socializing dinner with our squad.
- 19:10Speaker 3: That's not on Tom. That's on his crew. Tom was
- 19:13Speaker 3: clearly too drunk to play ball, to hang out and
- 19:16Speaker 3: do all that. His boys, at the end of the night,
- 19:20Speaker 3: they go to leave. They left him. Where Matt Malone
- 19:22Speaker 3: has to go and get his boys and be like,
- 19:24Speaker 3: you got to take this cat with you. Tom's still
- 19:25Speaker 3: standing at the end of the table.
- 19:27Speaker 4: We told Buddy, I was like, hey, can you do
- 19:30Speaker 4: something with this gentleman right here?
- 19:32Speaker 3: He won't leave our table alone at all. And shout
- 19:34Speaker 3: out Buddy and the guy that was serving us. Multiple
- 19:37Speaker 3: times they're like, hey, we're really sorry about this. If
- 19:40Speaker 3: you'd like, we can get you guys a room. Like
- 19:42Speaker 3: the back table's now open, the back room's now open,
- 19:44Speaker 3: we can get you. You and I didn't speak up,
- 19:46Speaker 3: but somebody was like, no, no, no, we're all good.
- 19:48Speaker 3: And he walked away, you're like, back room would have
- 19:50Speaker 3: been kind of nice. Kind of have this all dialed in.
- 19:53Speaker 3: But Tommy Boy, dude, he was there. It got to
- 19:54Speaker 3: the point where he would like to have, Clump, yeah,
- 20:00Speaker 3: and then Clump would just look at his phone. Even
- 20:03Speaker 3: his drunk self was like, not him. Then he'd go
- 20:05Speaker 3: over to Matt, and Matt would be like, hey, Matt.
- 20:09Speaker 3: And I'd get over on him. He tried to talk
- 20:10Speaker 3: to Will and I multiple times, but we were far
- 20:13Speaker 3: enough away on the other side of the table to where...
- 20:16Speaker 3: It's like when you're on a Southwest flight and you
- 20:18Speaker 3: sit down and one of your buddies has the aisle,
- 20:21Speaker 3: you have the window. And hey, we have a pretty
- 20:24Speaker 3: full flight. Once the flight attendant says you have a
- 20:25Speaker 3: pretty full flight, it's up to you and your buddy
- 20:27Speaker 3: to close talk as much as possible to save that
- 20:30Speaker 3: middle seat. That's kind of where we sat.
- 20:32Speaker 4: Kevin's Natural Food, clean take.
- 20:34Speaker 3: That's a clean take. That's Kevin's Natural Food's clean take. Me... Cody, Coleman, JP,
- 20:39Speaker 3: and Will kind of got ourselves like a bit of
- 20:42Speaker 3: a survival of the fittest situation. We had to get
- 20:44Speaker 3: ourselves out of that.
- 20:45Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Buddy was at the other end of the table
- 20:47Speaker 4: to where we were kind of talking with him. So
- 20:49Speaker 4: it's like we, because we're like having vibes with that
- 20:52Speaker 4: table at first. Like we're saying hello, we're doing all
- 20:54Speaker 4: this stuff.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Because they got us the shot and they hit us
- 20:56Speaker 3: with a, hey, you guys aren't much, but you're our friends.
- 20:58Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, that's kind of a nice little line.
- 21:00Speaker 3: That's a good toast line for us right now. So
- 21:02Speaker 3: I thought, oh, these guys are a vibe. Quickly, 180
- 21:05Speaker 3: on us quickly 180 us and there was a moment
- 21:08Speaker 3: where the zombie of tom dude the soul of tom
- 21:11Speaker 3: was gone and he was just in like walking dead
- 21:14Speaker 3: and will looks at me goes oh thank god we're
- 21:17Speaker 3: on this side of the table and i'm like yeah
- 21:19Speaker 3: buddy no doubt about it cody's just trying to watch
- 21:22Speaker 3: you know g6 football on his phone the entire time
- 21:27Speaker 3: He tried to dummy Coleman. I didn't like the way
- 21:29Speaker 3: he was talking with Coleman.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Mr.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Spinney over there.
- 21:31Speaker 4: Coleman didn't care. Coleman was like, oh, bro, I'm all good.
- 21:34Speaker 4: It was just more like my vantage point. Listen to
- 21:36Speaker 4: some of the back and forth. I just didn't like
- 21:38Speaker 4: the tone he was kind of giving Coleman.
- 21:40Speaker 3: Like he was trying to bro everybody and then basically
- 21:43Speaker 3: make Coleman the bottom of the totem pole for everybody
- 21:45Speaker 3: to kind of get on it. I kind of just
- 21:48Speaker 3: stayed so detached from all of it the whole time.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Anytime he came near, I was on my phone. like
- 21:53Speaker 3: just waiting for him to, his presence, his aura to
- 21:56Speaker 3: leave my bubble. And he was like a specter, like
- 21:58Speaker 3: just kind of looming over you. Yeah, dude, he's one
- 22:00Speaker 3: of those bad people in Harry Potter. Those little, those
- 22:02Speaker 3: things that are looking for a serious black, he's a dementor.
- 22:05Speaker 4: And since Coleman was in the middle of the table,
- 22:06Speaker 4: it was kind of an analogy like, say Coleman says
- 22:10Speaker 4: something that like maybe add to the convo and his
- 22:13Speaker 4: vibe would more.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Be like this guy, right?
- 22:14Speaker 4: Like this guy. He wouldn't say that, but it was
- 22:17Speaker 4: like the vibe he was giving to that side of
- 22:21Speaker 4: the table.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Bad guy to pick.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Bad guy to pick, man, because Coleman, he's just woo 24-7, man. Yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 3: it didn't faze Coleman at all.
- 22:29Speaker 4: No, no.
- 22:29Speaker 3: I just didn't like. Coleman actually probably had the number
- 22:32Speaker 3: one woo of the night. There was a situation that
- 22:36Speaker 3: happened with some ladies at dinner.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:38Speaker 3: And I don't know. I don't know the full story.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Because once again, like this is when Tom started to
- 22:43Speaker 3: come out of a shell a little bit. I realized like, oh,
- 22:45Speaker 3: my energy is solely focused on this side of the
- 22:46Speaker 3: table now. Like Jack and Klump and all. I was like,
- 22:50Speaker 3: they have to fend for themselves at this point. I
- 22:52Speaker 3: can maybe save JP. They're surviving in advance down there.
- 22:55Speaker 3: So these girls walk in. There's a fleet of them.
- 22:59Speaker 3: They just walk in and go to a table. And Colby,
- 23:03Speaker 3: you know better than me. Someone ordered them drinks.
- 23:06Speaker 7: When they walked in, Matt was like, oh, here we go.
- 23:07Speaker 7: And then Jack Sorrell and I were like, oh, let's
- 23:10Speaker 7: see what you got then. We're going to order them
- 23:11Speaker 7: a round of drinks. Kind of let Matt, we'll tell,
- 23:13Speaker 7: we told the waiter, let them know Matt bought.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Them the round of drinks.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:17Speaker 2: And it went from there. They sent him the same
- 23:19Speaker 2: shot that Tom sent. Probably a bad call.
- 23:22Speaker 6: That was, what was it?
- 23:23Speaker 1: Vodka?
- 23:23Speaker 3: It was like a coffee whiskey. There was a vodka
- 23:25Speaker 3: espresso shot, but the waiter came up and he's like,
- 23:28Speaker 3: we didn't have espresso, so it's really just coffee in there.
- 23:31Speaker 3: So we're sorry about that. These brown shots. He's like,
- 23:34Speaker 3: but they bought it for you. And they insisted. You
- 23:36Speaker 3: could tell the waiter was like, we don't want this
- 23:37Speaker 3: to be a representation of our restaurant, but this is
- 23:39Speaker 3: what they insisted we make. And obviously we deliver, the
- 23:42Speaker 3: customer's always right.
- 23:43Speaker 7: Didn't hear that conversation. And that's what we sent the
- 23:45Speaker 7: girls from Matt. Probably a bad call when you really
- 23:48Speaker 7: break that down.
- 23:48Speaker 3: They go and give the table the drinks.
- 23:50Speaker 4: They're like on the other side of the room and
- 23:51Speaker 4: Matt just kind of swirling his wine glass.
- 23:56Speaker 3: Gives them a nod. I couldn't see the girls, but they,
- 24:00Speaker 3: apparently they took a drink and they're like, oh shit.
- 24:05Speaker 3: So Matt gets bodied from a distance. we're all kind
- 24:09Speaker 3: of being like, Matt, this is where we have to
- 24:10Speaker 3: find out the kind of guy you are. You talk
- 24:12Speaker 3: about your game, your juice, your all that. He's like, oh,
- 24:14Speaker 3: you can tell he's getting flustered.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Go apologize to him, introduce yourself.
- 24:17Speaker 3: He looks like he sells golf clubs for a living
- 24:19Speaker 3: the way he is based on his outfit. You guys
- 24:20Speaker 3: sound like, what is that? Yeah, I showed, so there
- 24:24Speaker 3: was a video of Matt going up to the, I
- 24:25Speaker 3: showed Taylin the video and she's like, Matt's a handsome guy.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Why is he wearing that outfit? I go, honey, don't
- 24:31Speaker 3: even get on the outfit. Don't even get on the outfit.
- 24:34Speaker 3: But we all talk him into going up to the girls.
- 24:37Speaker 3: And we have the video. We could probably use it
- 24:39Speaker 3: in a clip. But he gets bodied by them. You
- 24:44Speaker 3: could just tell.
- 24:45Speaker 2: The energy.
- 24:45Speaker 3: There might have been one or two smiling, but from
- 24:47Speaker 3: my vantage point, three or four of them were like,
- 24:49Speaker 3: get this guy away from us.
- 24:51Speaker 4: It seemed like Matt was talking. They were kind of quiet.
- 24:53Speaker 4: And I want to say somebody... Didn't one of the
- 24:55Speaker 4: girls say like, who ordered these shots? Or like, why'd
- 24:58Speaker 4: you get us these or something?
- 24:59Speaker 1: Why'd you get us those? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 25:01Speaker 3: And Matt comes over. Klump goes to Daphne. Klump goes
- 25:04Speaker 3: to Daphne. Don't fucking dap me up right now. Don't
- 25:09Speaker 3: fucking dap me up.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Matt's walking back after Nell and Klump's like. And Matt's like,
- 25:15Speaker 4: get your fucking hand out.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Get your fucking hand out. Chill, chill, chill. Girls get
- 25:19Speaker 3: up at the end of the night. They start to
- 25:20Speaker 3: walk out. Coleman has said nothing to these ladies. He goes,
- 25:23Speaker 3: hey guys, sorry about those shots again. And one girl goes, oh,
- 25:25Speaker 3: we drank all of them. And it was like Coleman.
- 25:27Speaker 1: And I go, Coleman's got the gym. Coleman's got the gym.
- 25:31Speaker 3: He had it going, dude. But the dinner was incredible.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Dinner was great, man. Dinner was all time. What was
- 25:37Speaker 3: the place we went for the tailgate tour? Little Woodrow's. Dude,
- 25:40Speaker 3: shout out Little Woodrow's. that is places a vibe dude
- 25:43Speaker 3: a vibe an absolute.
- 25:45Speaker 4: Texas tech fans showed up yeah it was all time
- 25:47Speaker 4: great spot for a tailgate great spot to be there
- 25:50Speaker 4: and watch games but everybody was out it was it was.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Fun yeah because there was a worry it was like
- 25:55Speaker 3: 30 minutes away from the campus correct.
- 25:57Speaker 2: No it's only like 15 okay.
- 25:59Speaker 3: It was away from the campus to where there were
- 26:01Speaker 3: some concerns by some people on this bus like hey
- 26:03Speaker 3: no one's gonna show up it was a full house
- 26:06Speaker 3: Fans showed up in a big way. They had their
- 26:08Speaker 3: guns up. They were ready to go. People bought into
- 26:10Speaker 3: the activation. We're doing Bud Light, first down celebrations, touchdown celebrations.
- 26:15Speaker 3: They were all about it, bro. So it was shout
- 26:18Speaker 3: out Lubbock, Texas. Shout out Lubbock, Texas. Just got to
- 26:21Speaker 3: get the fans right. Their operation during games. Yes.
- 26:23Speaker 1: That's about all.
- 26:24Speaker 3: Yes.
- 26:25Speaker 4: Student section gets as loud as they can, but that's
- 26:28Speaker 4: about the only section of the stadium. It's a full stadium.
- 26:31Speaker 3: All the fans were there. But they just don't know
- 26:34Speaker 3: how to operate on being loud. You can tell the
- 26:36Speaker 3: fan base is extremely passionate about this school and their
- 26:39Speaker 3: football team. But we got to figure out volume. Like,
- 26:43Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a stadium the way it's
- 26:44Speaker 3: built or because we're on the opposite side of the
- 26:47Speaker 3: student section. It sounds like the student section is so
- 26:49Speaker 3: far away because when you go to like a kneeling... Like,
- 26:51Speaker 3: you don't know where the noise is coming from because
- 26:53Speaker 3: there's so much noise all around you. It's an over-steaming
- 26:56Speaker 3: type of situation. You can pinpoint in Lubbock. Those are
- 27:00Speaker 3: the fans that are getting rowdy. Everybody else is here
- 27:02Speaker 3: to watch a good ball game. Yeah. Sit down a
- 27:04Speaker 3: little bit. By the way, Kevin's Natural Foods Clean Take,
- 27:07Speaker 3: Joey McGuire is one of the best. Oh, yeah. That's
- 27:09Speaker 3: an incredible Kevin's Natural Foods Clean Take. That guy taking
- 27:14Speaker 3: care of us. Yeah, he's just the man, bro. Got
- 27:17Speaker 3: to stay at the team hotel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. An
- 27:20Speaker 3: absolute vibe. He came up, Cody Campbell. He came out,
- 27:23Speaker 3: really expected Cody Campbell. Based on all the things you
- 27:27Speaker 3: hear about him, the narrative, how Texas Tech's become the
- 27:29Speaker 3: villain in the NIL era, and it's all because of
- 27:32Speaker 3: this billionaire, Cody Campbell. I was expecting like a high-strung cat.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Very calm, very poised, very confident individual that came up.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Like a silent, like a quiet alpha. Yeah, you could
- 27:42Speaker 3: tell he was the alpha in the stadium. People would
- 27:45Speaker 3: be talking, and as he'd walk by, they'd quiet up.
- 27:48Speaker 3: and go by yeah and then they start to talk
- 27:50Speaker 3: again yeah he was seems like his son's a bit
- 27:53Speaker 3: of a ball player son's guy i was like how
- 27:54Speaker 3: many offers you got he's like i have 20 offers
- 27:56Speaker 3: right now i'm like oh shit good for you as
- 28:00Speaker 3: it is everybody just expects you to go to texas
- 28:01Speaker 3: tech he's like yeah people expect that he's like but
- 28:04Speaker 3: my dad's been good with me and my family like
- 28:06Speaker 3: i'm gonna i'm gonna take these visits i'm gonna go
- 28:07Speaker 3: exactly where i want to go yeah seems like their
- 28:09Speaker 3: family's dialed in together too Coach McGuire's saying they're recruiting
- 28:13Speaker 3: his ass up too. Talking about how nasty, like, oh,
- 28:15Speaker 3: this guy, this kid, blah, blah, blah. But that's where
- 28:17Speaker 3: Joey just. He's got it. He's a freshman. Finishes plays.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Not timid. Puts his paws on people.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Better tell him. You better tell him, whoa, than giddy up.
- 28:26Speaker 3: And that kid.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:27Speaker 3: He was getting after it, man. He was awesome. He
- 28:29Speaker 3: was cool to be around for a little bit. They
- 28:31Speaker 3: had a lot of recruits in there. You just, Joey
- 28:33Speaker 3: just loves the recruits. He loves the players. Just like
- 28:35Speaker 3: the spring, the spring practice we went to, he was.
- 28:38Speaker 4: Putting his hands out.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Look at this. Look at him, huh? put a little
- 28:41Speaker 3: extra meat on. This one's a nasty one right here.
- 28:43Speaker 3: He just loves him, dude. Those two tackles came up
- 28:45Speaker 3: to us too, like immediately, right when we got to
- 28:47Speaker 3: the stadium. Dapping it up, giving some love. It was awesome.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Got to see Dilley. Yeah, got to see Dilley.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:54Speaker 3: He was confident about the game.
- 28:55Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Unfortunately, it's good to be confident. He's like, we haven't
- 28:58Speaker 3: played up to our talent yet, but I like our
- 29:00Speaker 3: plan coming into this one. Yeah. About halftime, it was like, oh, buddy.
- 29:04Speaker 3: But there was a splatter in that took place. Yeah.
- 29:06Speaker 3: That was brutal. A couple of elite wide receivers though
- 29:09Speaker 3: on the ASU side. My God. Studs. What else we got?
- 29:14Speaker 2: We hit our parlay, too.
- 29:15Speaker 3: We did? Hit the parlay!
- 29:17Speaker 7: We bet on two.
- 29:19Speaker 2: When we were there, you can bet on player props
- 29:21Speaker 2: in Indiana.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.
- 29:25Speaker 3: No, no, no.
- 29:26Speaker 4: Yeah, at dinner, it was either Coleman or somebody who
- 29:29Speaker 4: was starting like, hey, you can do player props.
- 29:31Speaker 3: Not in Texas.
- 29:31Speaker 2: No, no, we did them at Indiana when we were eating.
- 29:34Speaker 3: So it was the bus ride to the airport. Yeah,
- 29:37Speaker 3: which was sick. We hit that.
- 29:38Speaker 7: And then shout out to Matt Dowdy, the SID at
- 29:41Speaker 7: Texas Tech because he set a lot of that stuff
- 29:42Speaker 7: up for us too.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Oh, that's awesome.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Just want to give him his flowers.
- 29:46Speaker 3: He's the man. I love that. We got some roast
- 29:47Speaker 3: spicy tear talk for you boys real quick. All right,
- 29:49Speaker 3: we're going to tear it up. Subject today. Holiday tear talk.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Best holidays. As always, we're going to go through as
- 29:56Speaker 3: a crew. We're going to put one out there. How
- 29:58Speaker 3: do we feel about a Halloween?
- 30:02Speaker 4: I have an unpopular opinion.
- 30:06Speaker 3: What's your unpopular? I don't like Halloween. You don't like it? Yeah,
- 30:09Speaker 3: I keep that opinion quiet in this office.
- 30:11Speaker 2: That's pretty loud.
- 30:12Speaker 3: That was pretty loud. We're on a bus right now.
- 30:14Speaker 3: We're ranking holidays. You said Halloween. What don't you like
- 30:16Speaker 3: about Halloween?
- 30:17Speaker 4: Right, but you can rank it without saying I don't
- 30:18Speaker 4: like it.
- 30:19Speaker 3: He said, what do we think?
- 30:20Speaker 1: No, no.
- 30:20Speaker 3: He said, I have an unpopular opinion. Well, he, you
- 30:22Speaker 3: opened the door for me and you know, I opened it.
- 30:24Speaker 5: I just think it's overrated. I don't find it to
- 30:27Speaker 5: be that fun. Like the dressing up thing. I don't
- 30:29Speaker 5: like it as much as like I used to. I
- 30:32Speaker 5: like the idea of it. It's like not as fun anymore.
- 30:34Speaker 3: I like going out. Like I like the Halloween party.
- 30:38Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just like it's all right. Did
- 30:40Speaker 3: you like it as a kid? Yeah. To me, it's
- 30:42Speaker 3: like a kid holiday. So when you become a dad
- 30:46Speaker 3: one day, I think you'll get back into it.
- 30:47Speaker 5: And you're probably 100% right, but right now as a 26-year-old,
- 30:50Speaker 5: I'm like, I mean, I'm going to go out. I'm
- 30:52Speaker 5: going to dress up with Mackenzie. I'm going to have fun,
- 30:55Speaker 5: but I'm like, this isn't like– I don't know.
- 30:57Speaker 3: I don't love it. Your take on like why an
- 31:00Speaker 3: adult would not like Halloween, I agree with. That's my
- 31:04Speaker 3: entire take. I go to– I mean, when I like
- 31:06Speaker 3: have to dress up, I'm like, I'm not stoked that
- 31:08Speaker 3: I'm dressing up, but it's, to me, it's about, we've
- 31:11Speaker 3: talked about all the time, the weather breaking, all the stuff.
- 31:13Speaker 3: I'm not going to do the same bit over and
- 31:15Speaker 3: over again, but those are the things that make Halloween
- 31:17Speaker 3: very special. The opening ceremony.
- 31:20Speaker 4: If I put it on a tier list, I put
- 31:21Speaker 4: it as probably my three.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Okay.
- 31:23Speaker 3: We'll put it at three.
- 31:24Speaker 5: But then if a holiday gets a whole month to me,
- 31:26Speaker 5: then Thanksgiving is the best. Like November is the best
- 31:29Speaker 5: month with Thanksgiving.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Thanksgiving is like a four day weekend.
- 31:32Speaker 5: I know, but if Halloween gets the entire month, if
- 31:35Speaker 5: Halloween gets to include the weather breaking at the beginning
- 31:37Speaker 5: of October, then I think November, that entire month, is
- 31:39Speaker 5: the best.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it can include the whole month
- 31:42Speaker 2: for this tier talk. It's got to be just the holiday.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Okay.
- 31:45Speaker 3: All right, fair enough. I'm getting in the details only
- 31:47Speaker 3: because we're ranking them. I don't actually care. Don't break
- 31:51Speaker 3: the rules that we make. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 31:53Speaker 3: we end up this episode of Bring You Neutral. Neutral

- 32:48Speaker 3: you brought up Thanksgiving. I'm like, I like Thanksgiving because
- 32:51Speaker 3: the family, the giving thanks, all that stuff. It's not
- 32:54Speaker 3: my favorite. It's not my favorite one out there. The
- 32:57Speaker 3: food's great. I don't have much of an argument.
- 33:00Speaker 1: I just like it.
- 33:00Speaker 3: I'm not like a food guy though. Like I'm not
- 33:02Speaker 3: like a, I'm not a foodie. I'm not a foodie.
- 33:05Speaker 3: I'm not a guy that's like, oh, I gotta go
- 33:06Speaker 3: try this spot or that spot.
- 33:07Speaker 5: We just spent 30 minutes talking about dinner.
- 33:08Speaker 3: I have a very uncultured palate.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I feel like the whole summer we were talking about
- 33:11Speaker 1: like your foodie take on.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I have really strong opinions about genres and locations.
- 33:18Speaker 3: He's got strong opinions on food, but he's not a foodie.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Yes. I feel like those kind of go hand in hand.
- 33:24Speaker 3: No, they don't. Not in his world.
- 33:25Speaker 6: No, they don't.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Not in my world. No, they don't. I would put
- 33:27Speaker 1: Thanksgiving at one or two.
- 33:30Speaker 3: One or two?
- 33:32Speaker 1: Because the last.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Christmas, 4th of July. 4th of July. 4th of July.
- 33:36Speaker 1: I honestly may... I would probably put Thanksgiving... Yeah, one
- 33:39Speaker 1: or two because of One, the last three or four
- 33:42Speaker 1: years I've gone to Taylor's House of Food has been
- 33:44Speaker 1: absolutely incredible.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Jason and Taylor.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Also, just football on all day. Ooh, that is true.
- 33:51Speaker 3: If we're only counting- And it kicks off Christmas.
- 33:54Speaker 1: And I was going to say, it kicks off Christmas,
- 33:55Speaker 1: but also that weekend is rivalry weekend in college football.
- 34:00Speaker 1: All of those great games.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Black Friday? Holy shit, Mitch is cooking right now. He is. Wow.
- 34:05Speaker 1: So, like, to me.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was just a singular day.
- 34:08Speaker 3: That's why I said singular day. Can't break the rules.
- 34:11Speaker 1: If it's only a singular day, I would still put
- 34:13Speaker 1: it up there just because of, I mean, what, you
- 34:15Speaker 1: got four or five football games on throughout the entire day.
- 34:17Speaker 1: You're just loaded to the gills with food.
- 34:22Speaker 3: I'll be the guy. I'll be the guy. We'll move
- 34:24Speaker 3: Halloween down to honorable mention. We can put Thanksgiving at three.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Okay.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Are we cool with that? That's fair.
- 34:30Speaker 1: I agree with that, yeah.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Okay. I would put Thanksgiving honorable mention. Great holiday, great food.
- 34:35Speaker 3: And just like that, I'm back on Halloween B3.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I hate that we can't include the full month because
- 34:39Speaker 2: we have rules.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Oh shit, Sherm, you okay?
- 34:41Speaker 2: But like there is the whole four weeks leading up
- 34:44Speaker 2: to Halloween very much is Halloween.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:48Speaker 2: All the decorations, the transition. We don't have to go
- 34:50Speaker 2: back over it. But I mean, I feel like if you,
- 34:53Speaker 2: the realistic ranking should be Christmas, 4th of July, Halloween,
- 34:58Speaker 2: honorable mention Thanksgiving.
- 34:59Speaker 3: I like that list a lot.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I love that list. That's it.
- 35:02Speaker 3: That's the list. I mean, you could have saved us
- 35:03Speaker 3: five minutes just now, Jeff, if you just spoke up
- 35:05Speaker 3: for us. I had to take it all in.
- 35:07Speaker 1: That's good.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Very observant. And then you came at the right time.
- 35:09Speaker 3: That's a real spicy Tear Talk best holiday tier list. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 35:15Speaker 3: That is.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I was going to say, if we can't do the
- 35:18Speaker 1: whole month for Halloween.
- 35:20Speaker 3: There's rules, Mitch.
- 35:21Speaker 1: No, no, no. But Christmas is a full month, just
- 35:24Speaker 1: as Spooktober is a full month.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Yeah but the day the christmas even me who's a
- 35:29Speaker 3: huge sputover.
- 35:30Speaker 1: I think christmas is number one for me i'm just
- 35:31Speaker 1: saying so then what are.
- 35:32Speaker 3: You arguing yes i don't know you just talking to
- 35:34Speaker 3: talk you got complimented now you're trying to get back

- 35:39Speaker 5: We all like agree and then we're like wait what
- 35:41Speaker 5: hey how do.
- 35:43Speaker 3: We feel about easter right it's okay i'm not a
- 35:47Speaker 3: huge easter guy it's a holiday I like the egg
- 35:51Speaker 3: hunt with the kids. That's always fun.
- 35:53Speaker 2: It's where the meaning behind Easter is.
- 35:54Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 35:55Speaker 3: No doubt. No doubt.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Amen.
- 35:57Speaker 3: He's risen. Amen. Yeah, for sure. Okay. I'm with you guys.
- 36:00Speaker 3: I just want to know how we felt about the
- 36:02Speaker 3: actual day itself onward. Just like that. I think the
- 36:04Speaker 3: like bunny, it's kind of creepy.
- 36:07Speaker 6: Yeah, they're always creepy.
- 36:08Speaker 3: I don't know why the bunny got put in. I
- 36:10Speaker 3: fully agree. We're hunting eggs, but there's an Easter bunny coming.
- 36:13Speaker 5: I was never made to believe that that was a
- 36:14Speaker 5: real thing as a kid. Do kids believe that?
- 36:17Speaker 3: I look at my kids and I'm like, I can't
- 36:18Speaker 3: believe you guys kind of believe this. We never did that.
- 36:20Speaker 3: We did the hunt. I know, falling for the Easter bunny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Because that should be the first one to kind of
- 36:26Speaker 3: give it away. It's like Easter eggs. It's like bunny.
- 36:29Speaker 3: And I have bunnies and chickens. So my kids should
- 36:32Speaker 3: know better than any kids. Santa's way more believable.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to say, I can see the
- 36:37Speaker 4: kids getting duped by Santa for a while.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Oh, for sure. Easter bunny. For sure. And Taylor and
- 36:42Speaker 3: I don't even do a good job of selling the
- 36:43Speaker 3: Easter bunny. My kids are just kind of like, yeah,
- 36:45Speaker 3: this is what happens. The Easter bunny brought me this.
- 36:48Speaker 3: I'm like, all right.
- 36:49Speaker 8: My mom would get the rabbit's foot and would dip
- 36:51Speaker 8: it in glitter and put it around like our front
- 36:54Speaker 8: porch and then throw glitter in the front yard and
- 36:56Speaker 8: be like, oh my gosh, with all the.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Eggs out there. Oh my gosh. So how long do
- 37:00Speaker 3: you believe?
- 37:01Speaker 8: Oh, dude, way too long for Santa and Easter Bunny.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Wow.
- 37:06Speaker 8: When I found out about Santa, my follow-up question was like,
- 37:10Speaker 8: but the Easter Bunny. And then started bawling crying.
- 37:16Speaker 3: No way. I'll tell you. Take Santa, but not the
- 37:19Speaker 3: Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny, though.
- 37:23Speaker 1: I know.
- 37:24Speaker 3: Dude, my mom was too good at it. Willow, my second.
- 37:28Speaker 3: She'll figure out that Santa's not real before when. Wynn's
- 37:31Speaker 3: fully whimsical. She's fully bought into the idea. She's talking
- 37:35Speaker 3: about the Switch Witch in a couple of weeks. I mean,
- 37:38Speaker 3: I'm with her, though. The Tickle Turkey is on the horizon.
- 37:42Speaker 3: She knows Tickle... That's me. I didn't fall off Santa
- 37:44Speaker 3: until about Wynn's age. Nine, ten years old. Oh, she's...
- 37:48Speaker 3: I don't... It would be catastrophic for Wynn if she
- 37:52Speaker 3: found out at this age.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Did you get told by your parents or did some, like,
- 37:55Speaker 2: asshole at school be like, you still believe in this?
- 37:58Speaker 3: Because... I got.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Duped at school and it was a horrible day.
- 38:02Speaker 3: Really?
- 38:02Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 38:03Speaker 2: I had to go home, look at my parents in
- 38:04Speaker 2: the eyes, be like, you did this to me?
- 38:08Speaker 1: It's such a bad role. Same.
- 38:09Speaker 8: Mine's a tad worse. I had pointy ears as a kid.
- 38:13Speaker 8: They've kind of flattened out now.
- 38:15Speaker 3: My mom's remedy to that.
- 38:17Speaker 8: Was to tell my bullies at school that I was
- 38:19Speaker 8: an undercover elf and that I was going to tell Santa...
- 38:23Speaker 8: To not give them presents. And their rebuttal was, what
- 38:26Speaker 8: a fucking idiot. This kid believes in Santa.
- 38:30Speaker 3: What? Yeah, it was just like a triple whammy. When
- 38:32Speaker 3: is your mom having a group meeting with your bullies?
- 38:35Speaker 8: No, she told me to tell my bullies at school
- 38:38Speaker 8: to get the bullies off my back of like, hey,
- 38:40Speaker 8: quit bullying me.
- 38:42Speaker 3: I could tell Santa.
- 38:43Speaker 4: Because I'm actually an undercover elf.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Dumbass.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Honestly, your mom set you up for failure.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Yeah. That's when she looks back at it and be like, okay.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Shout out Miss Amy.
- 38:51Speaker 3: Shout out Miss Amy. Miss Amy rips. I love Miss Amy.
- 38:54Speaker 3: She's phenomenal.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Shout out Miss Amy.
- 38:55Speaker 3: We can all agree that that's a bad move by
- 38:57Speaker 3: Miss Amy. We all make mistakes.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:59Speaker 3: No doubt about it.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I feel like another fun to your talk would be
- 39:01Speaker 1: like made up characters like Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Tooth Fairy.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Tooth Fairy is another one.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Sleep guy. Sandman. Sandman. Sandman. Yeah. I never heard of that.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Sandman.
- 39:12Speaker 1: It's like your dream, like the dream guy.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Oh, I never, we never had that. Like from Sharkboy
- 39:18Speaker 3: and Lavagirl. The Sandman, what does he do? He's supposed
- 39:22Speaker 3: to make you go to sleep and dream. He's the
- 39:25Speaker 3: ruler of.
- 39:25Speaker 2: The dream world from that perspective. I feel like once
- 39:29Speaker 2: you're an adult, you have so many fictional characters you're
- 39:32Speaker 2: trying to continue your kids' belief in, and you've got
- 39:35Speaker 2: to stop somewhere. You can't be like, yeah, there's also
- 39:37Speaker 2: a guy who's sprinkling dust on you, making you dream
- 39:39Speaker 2: of stuff. You've got to just pick and choose your battles.
- 39:42Speaker 3: I know, yeah.
- 39:43Speaker 5: Is Sandman like George Lopez from Shark Point and Lava Girl?
- 39:46Speaker 3: Or am I completely tripping?
- 39:48Speaker 1: You're completely true. No one knows.
- 39:49Speaker 3: What a pull. Let's move on. That concludes Roast Spicy
- 39:54Speaker 3: Tear Talk. Hey, did you guys know that in 1985
- 40:00Speaker 3: the Air Jordans came out? Air Jordan 1s came out?
- 40:03Speaker 3: Do you guys know that? Do you guys know that
- 40:05Speaker 3: they were only $ 65 in 1985? That makes sense. Do
- 40:06Speaker 3: you know today they are worth $ 30, 000? Are you aware
- 40:09Speaker 3: of that?
- 40:14Speaker 4: No, I did not know that.
- 40:14Speaker 3: With one pair of shoes? One pair of shoes right now.
- 40:17Speaker 4: From the 1985 Air Jordans. If you found them and
- 40:19Speaker 4: bought them, they'd be 30 grand? They'd be 30 grand
- 40:21Speaker 4: right now. If they are not worn. You want to
- 40:24Speaker 4: know another thing about them? Courtyard's got a pair.
- 40:28Speaker 3: And tomorrow, which is today because it is Tuesday now,
- 40:30Speaker 3: even though we're shooting this on Monday, Courtyard has a
- 40:33Speaker 3: $ 65 pack because, in 1985, they were $ 65, for a
- 40:38Speaker 3: chance for you to rip. If you rip on Courtyard,
- 40:41Speaker 3: the $ 65 pack, you have a chance to win $ 30, 000
- 40:43Speaker 3: Air Jordan 1s. I mean, is that not just insane, fellas?
- 40:47Speaker 3: We're talking about rip opportunities. Rip-a-tunities. That's what you got
- 40:51Speaker 3: right there. You rip that pack, you can get also
- 40:53Speaker 3: basketball cards, you can get Slam Magazine, but also shout
- 40:55Speaker 3: out the The shoes themselves, and they only go till
- 40:59Speaker 3: October 27th. Think of the rip-a-tunities. Think of the rip-a-tunities.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Think of the rip-a-tunities. So they got a mobile app anyway.
- 41:06Speaker 3: You can go to courtyard.io. You can join on the action.
- 41:08Speaker 3: I'm just letting you guys know, we will be ripping that,
- 41:10Speaker 3: our Ripping with the Boys, on Tuesday, 7 p.m. Central
- 41:13Speaker 3: Time for our live stream. We'll be doing that. So
- 41:17Speaker 3: if you guys want, join the stream. If we rip
- 41:19Speaker 3: those $ 30, 000 shoes, guess what we're going to do? We're
- 41:22Speaker 3: going to show you guys that we have them now.
- 41:24Speaker 3: How cool is that? We're going to keep those. I
- 41:27Speaker 3: will for sure be keeping those if I rip those. No,
- 41:29Speaker 3: I'm just kidding, dude. We'll give them out.
- 41:30Speaker 5: Dude, my dad's biggest regret in his life is he
- 41:32Speaker 5: owned a sporting goods store back then that sold shoes,
- 41:35Speaker 5: and he had so many of the original Air Jordans. Oh!
- 41:38Speaker 3: And he was like, if I just kept a few
- 41:41Speaker 3: of them. Damn it. That is crazy. Isn't that crazy?
- 41:46Speaker 5: He's like, I remember when they came in. He's like,
- 41:48Speaker 5: I remember looking at them. And he's like, I think
- 41:49Speaker 5: about it like every week. Just like, why didn't I
- 41:51Speaker 5: just keep a couple?
- 41:54Speaker 3: And it's like kind of where your brain goes now.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Like getting into like the whole ripping thing. Like cards, shoes.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Like they do coins now, all that stuff. It's like,
- 42:03Speaker 3: I wonder what things. Like 4th of July, 250th anniversary
- 42:05Speaker 3: of America. I was at Target. And I saw a
- 42:09Speaker 3: six pack of Coca-Cola and it said America 250 on it.
- 42:13Speaker 3: And I thought, oh dude, I'm gonna buy this and
- 42:15Speaker 3: just be like that grandfather that has a pack of
- 42:18Speaker 3: Coca-Cola from like 50 years ago and just have them.
- 42:20Speaker 3: So I bought those and kept them. It's like, however, what,
- 42:22Speaker 3: 16 bucks or whatever it was. And they got drank, dude.
- 42:26Speaker 3: People came over and they drank them.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:30Speaker 3: And those are gone now and i actually will not
- 42:32Speaker 3: buy another pair but i uh pack and i here's
- 42:35Speaker 3: what i'm like 80 i'm like those sons of bitches
- 42:37Speaker 3: who drink that that's a three thousand dollar ball of
- 42:40Speaker 3: whatever six pack of coca-cola and it probably will be
- 42:43Speaker 3: they probably will be dude.
- 42:46Speaker 5: No 20 years we rip in courtyard coca-cola packs.
- 42:51Speaker 3: But yeah, the ripping stuff is so much fun. Jack's been,
- 42:54Speaker 3: have you been ripping lately?
- 42:55Speaker 2: I haven't on courtyard in the last two weeks, but
- 42:58Speaker 2: two and a half weeks ago, I did rip like
- 42:59Speaker 2: a $ 350 Pokemon card off of a hundred dollar pack,
- 43:03Speaker 2: which was like, all right, I'm back.
- 43:05Speaker 1: You're back.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Also this weekend, I took a week off of betting.
- 43:08Speaker 2: So I'm, I'm trying to be responsible, responsible gambling also
- 43:11Speaker 2: with courtyard, you know, have fun with it responsible, but
- 43:14Speaker 2: it will come.
- 43:15Speaker 3: It's thrill shopping.
- 43:16Speaker 1: It is.
- 43:17Speaker 3: It's thrill shopping. You take enough cracks at it, you're
- 43:20Speaker 3: going to get something. Just the other week with Josh Pate,
- 43:23Speaker 3: we did National Treasures in Lincoln, Nebraska. One of the
- 43:26Speaker 3: best National Treasure packs we ever had.
- 43:27Speaker 2: It was a wild box.
- 43:28Speaker 3: And then we ripped a similar priced box pack on
- 43:32Speaker 3: Courtyard and got a $ 3, 500 card, Patrick Mahomes rookie card,
- 43:35Speaker 3: PSA 10. Yeah, bro. A lot of rip-ertunity. A lot
- 43:40Speaker 3: of rip-ertunity out there. That's huge. Absolutely massive.
- 43:45Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 43:47Speaker 3: I see that Brandon Spikes is in the house. Is
- 43:48Speaker 3: he in there? I'm kind of nervous.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Prayers up to Jalen Hurts, man.
- 43:52Speaker 3: Prayers up to Jalen Hurts. Yeah, hopefully he's all right.
- 43:54Speaker 3: They're saying blood clotting in his lungs?
- 43:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it moved to his lungs. Not good.
- 43:59Speaker 7: Obviously, he's going to be out for the season, get
- 44:01Speaker 7: some blood thinners in him. Hopefully, everything works out. But yeah,
- 44:04Speaker 7: pretty serious stuff for Jalen Hurts. They did report that
- 44:07Speaker 7: when he got to London, they found the blood clot.
- 44:09Speaker 7: They told him not to sleep. He stayed up for
- 44:11Speaker 7: 36 straight hours, played in the London game, led a
- 44:14Speaker 7: game-winning drive.
- 44:16Speaker 2: They obviously lost that game. He led the game-winning drive,
- 44:18Speaker 2: so he's a warrior, man.
- 44:19Speaker 1: Shout out to Jalen Hurts.
- 44:20Speaker 6: Wow.
- 44:21Speaker 3: That actually is pretty incredible. No sleep. Listen, this is
- 44:26Speaker 3: all allegedly. I'm not pointing anything out. Seems very irresponsible
- 44:29Speaker 3: for whoever told him not to sleep for 36 hours
- 44:31Speaker 3: and then go play a football game.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.
- 44:33Speaker 3: Seems very... And that's just... I'm just observing. I'm not
- 44:36Speaker 3: trying to.
- 44:36Speaker 4: That's just a reaction to the information you were just giving.
- 44:38Speaker 3: It's a reaction. A couple of tier talks before we
- 44:41Speaker 3: get out of here. This comes from Dick Richard. Football aside,
- 44:43Speaker 3: real quick. What's your guys' take on the whole Tesla
- 44:47Speaker 3: roadster thing? Hashtag tier talk.
- 44:49Speaker 4: I don't know if I have like a take on it.
- 44:51Speaker 3: It's going to open up a lot of doors for
- 44:53Speaker 3: people that are nasty. That's the take right there. I
- 44:56Speaker 3: kind of mess with it. I look so much like AI.
- 44:58Speaker 3: It's like this has to be fake, right?
- 45:00Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 45:01Speaker 3: But I can just imagine being at a crossroads with somebody.
- 45:04Speaker 3: Say you're at the Franklin Farmer's Market. There's never good
- 45:06Speaker 3: parking there. Two people try to get in. They're kind
- 45:09Speaker 3: of honking at each other. No, I have it. And
- 45:10Speaker 3: then just pressing your little pressurized air. Imagine if Matt-
- 45:14Speaker 3: And then barrel rolling into the spot. What are they
- 45:17Speaker 3: going to do, dude? What are you going to say
- 45:19Speaker 3: to them?
- 45:19Speaker 1: I just flew in here.
- 45:21Speaker 4: Imagine if Matt Malone had his hands on one of them.
- 45:24Speaker 4: He just leaves every day like, all right, boys.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Land on the interstate.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Hey, that is insane. He's like, I'm going to be
- 45:31Speaker 3: down on Broadway this weekend. My question is, how do
- 45:33Speaker 3: you refill that air? Are you pumping up your car
- 45:35Speaker 3: every night? Let's play a button in there.
- 45:37Speaker 5: That's got to be like a one and done.
- 45:40Speaker 3: Maybe it takes in the air. That'd be a one
- 45:41Speaker 3: and done thing. Yeah, maybe it just takes in the air.
- 45:43Speaker 4: Imagine somebody just parking next to you. You find a
- 45:46Speaker 4: spot and somebody's just going... and everything's fucking blowing. You're
- 45:50Speaker 4: trying to get the kids out of the car. Dude,
- 45:52Speaker 4: what the fuck are you doing?
- 45:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:55Speaker 3: That's another good point, dude. You're on a gravel road
- 45:57Speaker 3: and you're trying to hit the air compressor and you're
- 45:58Speaker 3: breaking windows. That's nuts. This one is Dave from CP.
- 46:05Speaker 3: Can we get another Taylor LeJuan, Dan Orlovsky wager on
- 46:08Speaker 3: Rams missing the playoffs?
- 46:10Speaker 4: What's happening with the Rams right.
- 46:11Speaker 3: Now, bro? Dude, I don't know what's going on with
- 46:12Speaker 3: the Rams, but I'll say this. I'm not betting Dan
- 46:14Speaker 3: Orlovsky anything ever again. He's already proven he doesn't follow
- 46:17Speaker 3: through on bets. All right, we're going to interrupt this
- 46:19Speaker 3: episode to show you this. Real quick, that's Lucy. That's
- 46:22Speaker 3: my favorite. This one right here, Apple Crisp. Absolutely delicious.
- 46:24Speaker 3: Fell on the ground, but I'm going to pick it

- 46:27Speaker 3: burst where it pops, it hits you with flavor, and

- 46:31Speaker 3: in if I ever need to focus or need a
- 46:33Speaker 3: little energy boost. That's what I reach for. Pre-workout, post-workout,
- 46:36Speaker 3: it does not matter. It just works either way. Those
- 46:38Speaker 3: bad boys go up to 12 milligrams, so if you
- 46:40Speaker 3: need a little something with an extra kick, they've got
- 46:42Speaker 3: you covered there too. And this is the thing I
- 46:45Speaker 3: respect about them most. They're independently owned. Proudly American-made, not
- 46:48Speaker 3: some baked tobacco brand plain dress-up, and that's what matters.

- 47:42Speaker 3: Just, hey, how about them Titans? How about them Titans, Jeff?
- 47:45Speaker 1: How do you feel?
- 47:46Speaker 4: Titans, baby.
- 47:47Speaker 2: One and fucking a lot of losses.
- 47:50Speaker 3: One and O right now.
- 47:51Speaker 2: One and O. But yeah, a big defensive weekend for
- 47:54Speaker 2: all Tennessee football teams. That's as much as I can
- 47:57Speaker 2: say about it. We play the Browns next week. Let's just,
- 48:00Speaker 2: let's go into it. 0-0 mentality.
- 48:02Speaker 3: 0-0 mentality.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Playoffs are still in the hunt, I think. Colts fired
- 48:06Speaker 2: their GM.
- 48:06Speaker 3: Colts fired their GM.
- 48:07Speaker 2: You see what the Titans can do to an organization
- 48:09Speaker 2: with one win?
- 48:10Speaker 3: Dude, DeForest Buckner after the game was like, same old shit.
- 48:13Speaker 3: I'm getting sick of this. It's like, oh God. People mad.
- 48:17Speaker 2: People are mad.
- 48:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Houston takes down Jacksonville. The path is... Starting to be there.
- 48:23Speaker 1: I know.
- 48:24Speaker 3: That's a good thing about this league this year is
- 48:26Speaker 3: it feels like everybody's kind of still in it. Everyone's
- 48:29Speaker 3: got it up here.
- 48:30Speaker 1: Except the Chargers.
- 48:31Speaker 3: That's the best part about going.
- 48:32Speaker 4: Yeah, except the Chargers.
- 48:33Speaker 8: Best part about going 12-5, you got to lose five games.
- 48:36Speaker 2: You got to lose five games to start.
- 48:38Speaker 1: That's true.
- 48:39Speaker 3: And we talked this morning, too. You're over the Vols win.
- 48:42Speaker 3: You only give yourself 24 hours. Oh, no.
- 48:44Speaker 2: That's rat poison, as Willie C would say.
- 48:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rat poison. Nick Saban would also say that,
- 48:47Speaker 3: but Willie C definitely. And also- Willie C is my favorite. No, no, no.
- 48:54Speaker 3: But you're going to enjoy this one for how much longer?
- 48:57Speaker 2: Up until tomorrow, I'll enjoy the Titans win. This was
- 48:59Speaker 2: the first time since November of 2024 that the Titans
- 49:02Speaker 2: and Vols have won on the same weekend. It was
- 49:04Speaker 2: also the 69th time it's ever happened since 2000. So
- 49:08Speaker 2: we'll enjoy this until about tonight. And then we're on
- 49:11Speaker 2: to next week.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Then you're back to work. Back to work. Back to work.

- 52:31Speaker 3: That check look a little different when you walk up
- 52:33Speaker 3: out of there. Yeah. I got that eight times a year.
- 52:37Speaker 3: For five of them.
- 52:39Speaker 6: You were saying something. Uncle Sam. I like when I
- 52:42Speaker 6: was getting that thing full. Everything full. If it was five,
- 52:46Speaker 6: it's really ten. If it's ten, it's really.
- 52:49Speaker 3: Let me stop. Hey, I'm buzzing with the.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Is this thing on?
- 52:57Speaker 3: It's on. Okay, all right.
- 52:59Speaker 6: This is a nice little setup you got here, guys.
- 53:01Speaker 3: We appreciate that, bro.
- 53:02Speaker 1: This is my first one.
- 53:04Speaker 3: Is your first podcast ever done?
- 53:06Speaker 6: I don't think physically. I don't really know.
- 53:10Speaker 3: Zoom, is that podcast? I guess it is podcasting, but
- 53:13Speaker 3: it's not.
- 53:14Speaker 6: This feels better, though.
- 53:15Speaker 3: It's a vibe, right? I feel everybody energy, even that
- 53:18Speaker 3: fucking Tennessee dude. Yeah.
- 53:22Speaker 1: 4-0.
- 53:22Speaker 3: He's riding high right now. 4-0. Is that the biggest rivalry?
- 53:26Speaker 3: That one's huge.
- 53:29Speaker 6: I hate that we don't even play, but I did
- 53:31Speaker 6: admit to him earlier that I've never been more embarrassed. Oh,
- 53:34Speaker 6: there's only one other time I've been more embarrassed. It
- 53:37Speaker 6: was Texas when we went out there the first time
- 53:40Speaker 6: and they, whew, they gave it to us. I didn't
- 53:43Speaker 6: want to come back out. Y'all remember that? It was
- 53:45Speaker 6: like 40-0 or something, 40-3. DJ went down. We were
- 53:49Speaker 6: playing with a couple backups and stuff. Yeah, it wasn't
- 53:52Speaker 6: 15 years ago. I think it was Texas' first year
- 53:54Speaker 6: in the SEC. I feel like we played in Austin.
- 53:57Speaker 3: You don't remember that? You played? No, not me.
- 54:00Speaker 6: I'm never playing in Austin. I feel like I'm still,
- 54:05Speaker 6: I'm a Gator. I love that shit. When they lose,
- 54:07Speaker 6: I lose. Even though I ain't break a damn sweat.
- 54:10Speaker 6: You cut me open, I'm orange and blue, bro. I
- 54:12Speaker 6: hate that I feel that because that shit going to
- 54:14Speaker 6: kill me, bro. I had to quit betting. I might
- 54:17Speaker 6: as well give a motherfucker money. I was just betting
- 54:18Speaker 6: off a pride like, fuck it, I'm a Gator.
- 54:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 54:21Speaker 6: Know we're going to get smoked.
- 54:22Speaker 3: Underdogs, big time.
- 54:23Speaker 1: There you go.
- 54:24Speaker 6: And they fuck around and get scum.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Big by 21s.
- 54:27Speaker 6: You know what that is?
- 54:28Speaker 1: Double.
- 54:28Speaker 6: I said, we ain't even talking about that.
- 54:32Speaker 3: I'm just giving away money, but I love Florida that much, bro.
- 54:35Speaker 3: Were you always a huge Florida fan growing up?
- 54:39Speaker 6: No, I will admit that I've always loved Emmitt Smith,
- 54:42Speaker 6: Wilbur Marshall. I knew who the dudes, I always watched
- 54:45Speaker 6: football to see who the best player. That's why now
- 54:48Speaker 6: the number one don't really mean nothing to me, because
- 54:50Speaker 6: back in the day, whoever had number one.
- 54:53Speaker 3: On felt like, I feel like I oughta talk to
- 54:54Speaker 3: y'all over there too, for some reason. I don't know why,
- 54:58Speaker 3: I just feel weird.
- 54:59Speaker 4: It makes it better, you just keep sweating.
- 55:04Speaker 3: You can do whatever you want on this podcast.
- 55:07Speaker 6: I've always liked y'all gameplay, first of all, because I
- 55:11Speaker 6: judge me and all for that shit, especially what we do.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Just to be honest, I am critical and I'm unfair
- 55:15Speaker 3: at times.
- 55:16Speaker 6: But y'all brought me the SEC experience.
- 55:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 55:21Speaker 6: I love doing things I ain't even have a plan.
- 55:23Speaker 6: I'm so spontaneous and I live, you know what I'm saying?
- 55:26Speaker 6: I really feel alive. Y'all, I ain't, even though I
- 55:29Speaker 6: went to the SEC legend, I don't know why y'all
- 55:31Speaker 6: did that, but that's love. Y'all good with me for life.
- 55:35Speaker 1: Oh, for real, bro.
- 55:37Speaker 3: That's it.
- 55:37Speaker 6: It's the little things, the sweet nothings. I was raised
- 55:41Speaker 6: like that, bro. I'm from the South.
- 55:43Speaker 3: This is where it's so fucked up.
- 55:44Speaker 6: Where are the nice people at?
- 55:46Speaker 3: Guess what?
- 55:47Speaker 1: Guess what?
- 55:47Speaker 6: OG told me a long time ago. It's important to
- 55:51Speaker 6: be important. Boy, it's more important to be nice.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Think about that.
- 55:55Speaker 3: It's nice.
- 55:55Speaker 6: I think that's the fucking, let me get it right.
- 55:57Speaker 6: It's nice to be important. Boy, it's more important to
- 55:59Speaker 6: be nice.
- 56:00Speaker 3: There's a call right there. God, I love you, man.
- 56:04Speaker 3: I'm just sitting there like, oh, shit. He's got such
- 56:08Speaker 3: an energy about him where you're like, oh, fuck. It's true, though.
- 56:10Speaker 4: I feel like we kind of breezed over the fact
- 56:12Speaker 4: that he said he took a pay cut going to
- 56:13Speaker 4: the NBA.
- 56:14Speaker 3: You're 100%. I knew he was going to swear back
- 56:16Speaker 3: to that shit. Dude, you had so many. Like, this
- 56:18Speaker 3: one cheater on you, like, we knew by the legend
- 56:20Speaker 3: of Spikes.
- 56:21Speaker 1: Bro, I love Floyd.
- 56:23Speaker 3: Hey.
- 56:23Speaker 6: That experience, I would have stayed. Some of these dudes
- 56:26Speaker 6: getting seven to eight, nine years. That would have been me.
- 56:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 56:28Speaker 6: They would have had to kick me out of that, man.
- 56:30Speaker 6: I'm having the time of my life, bro. And I'm
- 56:32Speaker 6: playing ball with brothers at the best place ever.
- 56:36Speaker 1: Like that. Y'all been in that area?

- 57:53Speaker 3: would have.

- 59:05Speaker 3: him juiced up.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Look at his face. Look at his face.
- 59:08Speaker 6: That's how I usually look at my teammates miss a tackle. B,
- 59:11Speaker 6: don't start that shit. We got to be perfect. What
- 59:14Speaker 6: the fuck you talking about? Bull gate or something. Motherfucker, watch.
- 59:24Speaker 3: It. Ain't nobody talking in his hood or wheel.

- 59:39Speaker 1: Nuts.
- 59:39Speaker 6: All my teammates would tell you like, hey, B, I
- 59:43Speaker 6: think I made a transformation every time I put on
- 59:45Speaker 6: that uniform. You know what I'm talking about? I think
- 59:49Speaker 6: I'm a nice guy. I like to treat people the
- 59:50Speaker 6: way I don't want to be treated. Like I told
- 59:54Speaker 6: you about the sweet nothings. I'd get bouquet of flowers
- 59:57Speaker 6: for the women in the building when I was in
- 59:58Speaker 6: there and Just like, why'd you do that?
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: It's not her birthday.
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: Just want to put a smile on her face.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: I can.
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: The world needs to do that more. We need a
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: little bit more of that. In this cold, cold world
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: where everybody for their self and shit. But then the
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: helmet comes on.
- 1:00:13Speaker 6: Then I put that uniform on and I literally turn into,
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: I think I got two personalities. I promise you, it's
- 1:00:21Speaker 6: my alter ego. His name is Alvin Mack. I watched
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: this movie when I was probably seven, eight. Most guys
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: probably watching Little Giants.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Not you.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: My big brother was on that. Sit down, man.
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: You want to play football? You're six years older than me. Real,
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: way better than me. Was in the streets though.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: Very smart, educated, alpha male, leader. Everything about him. You
- 1:00:43Speaker 6: look at me, I am Breon.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I am him. Literally.
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: Because I always, you want to be like your big brother.
- 1:00:48Speaker 6: That was the only male, you know, figure that was
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: in my house at the time. He was six years
- 1:00:52Speaker 6: older than me. So obviously, he trying to move like
- 1:00:54Speaker 6: he the man of the house. But I had a
- 1:00:56Speaker 6: great example. You know what I'm saying? Alpha male, raised
- 1:00:59Speaker 6: with the same morals, same principles. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Like, it was nice.
- 1:01:03Speaker 6: It was nice while he was there, but he introduced
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: me to violent motherfuckers, aggressive motherfuckers. Like, what position you
- 1:01:10Speaker 6: wanna play? I said, what'd you play a bit, bro?
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Linebacker.
- 1:01:14Speaker 6: I said, oh, well, I think I'm gonna watch the
- 1:01:17Speaker 6: NFL films and see what all the linebackers look like.
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: That's supposed to be worth a damn. First person I see.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: Dick Buckus.
- 1:01:26Speaker 6: Dig fucking buckets. And guess what he was out there doing?
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: Ripping people head off. And you know, they had that,
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: I think that he was in them leather hammers back then. Nah,
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: he wasn't that bad. He wasn't that old.
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: Kind of the plastic shell. Yeah, but it wasn't shit.
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: Like, if you was out there sharking, you know, because
- 1:01:41Speaker 6: I feel like that's my little spirit animal.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Great white shark. The biggest, the baddest.
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: Bro, you a megalodon. That's not, that's why I fuck
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: with you. That's why I fuck with you. It's going
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: to be that kind of podcast where you don't talk
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: a lot, but you can get a couple on his
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: good side, you know? Hey, I love the animals.
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: I love everything about it. I haven't really studied that shark.
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: This is a real shark, huh? Or is this just
- 1:02:03Speaker 6: the movies?
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: No, no, it's a real shark.
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: I've never seen this on BBC, though. Have you seen one?
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: I've seen those little movies with all the graphics.
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: Dude, they got a documentary. We haven't discovered the entire ocean.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: I know. 10%.
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: I like this. I like where this is going. It's
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: all about this type of shit.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: I like this. There's a documentary on Netflix, and Morgan
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: Freeman narrates it, and he talks about megalodons. Don't tell
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: me nothing else. I won't say another thing. I almost
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: just did it. I won't say another thing. Megalodons are real, though. Man.
- 1:02:34Speaker 6: I'm always a great white. I'm going to have to
- 1:02:37Speaker 6: look at that.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Are they fast?
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: Are they big and fast? They died because... I'm pretty
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: sure they died because they weren't agile enough. They weren't
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: agile enough.
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: That great white.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: There might be one out there.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: I don't know. That great white. He got there.
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Smooth.
- 1:02:53Speaker 6: A fast predator.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: By itself.
- 1:02:56Speaker 6: How fast is that ocean? I ain't worried about shit.
- 1:03:00Speaker 6: Anything come near me, you already know what you're dealing with.
- 1:03:02Speaker 6: You better be ready to die.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: Look, y'all playing around and shit.
- 1:03:08Speaker 6: Ask any one of my teammates that play on me,
- 1:03:09Speaker 6: and they're like, hey, let's go to Warby. You can't
- 1:03:14Speaker 6: help it.
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: How long did it take you to figure out that
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: this is you when you put a helmet on? As
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: soon as I put that shit on, it's like, ah.
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: What age is this?
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: Like when your brother's putting you on and you start
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: watching NFL films, you see a big bucket, you're.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Like, I want to be a violent player. I like this.
- 1:03:29Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go all the way from the beginning, from
- 1:03:32Speaker 6: the foundation. I may need a shot in a minute,
- 1:03:34Speaker 6: but hey. You brought the tequila.
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: So I first started playing ball, I was what?
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Second and third grade. I think that's Pee Wee. I
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: don't know. I'm probably four or five. Pee Wee.
- 1:03:45Speaker 6: Sorry, sorry. Mighty Mites. I don't know if y'all sit
- 1:03:48Speaker 6: like that. Second and third grade. Pee Wee.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Wait, no.
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: Mighty Mike's might be first and second grade. Yeah, if
- 1:03:56Speaker 6: you're playing football. And Pee Wee is third and fourth
- 1:03:58Speaker 6: grade and Midget is fifth and sixth grade. So obviously
- 1:04:03Speaker 6: when I was younger, I wasn't as big, especially when
- 1:04:05Speaker 6: I was like five or six.
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: I was still tall, but I hadn't got, you know.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: What I'm saying?
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: Five or six years old.
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: Yeah, but I've been the same size since I was 12.
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: I've been the same size since I was 12, this size.
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: No shit. Since I was 12, literally. Okay. So, but
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: five and six.
- 1:04:21Speaker 6: Lucy, call see me out there. They said, that guy's
- 1:04:25Speaker 6: going to the league. If not, I don't know. He
- 1:04:28Speaker 6: would have been, it would have been a tragedy if
- 1:04:29Speaker 6: he don't make it. You knew right away. Cause that's,
- 1:04:31Speaker 6: that's what I was giving. Like I wanted to come
- 1:04:33Speaker 6: with that energy and I, I don't even use.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: The word I this much. Anybody know me? But we,
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: this is.
- 1:04:39Speaker 6: About, it feels weird saying I so much of me,
- 1:04:43Speaker 6: but I'll get over it in a second. Probably need
- 1:04:45Speaker 6: another shot of that. But you know what I'm saying? But,
- 1:04:50Speaker 6: It was never about me, the whole ordeal. You know
- 1:04:52Speaker 6: what I'm saying? I always, it's weird when I retire
- 1:04:55Speaker 6: and I'm like, oh, hey Spike, here, Hall of Fame. Damn,
- 1:04:58Speaker 6: I forgot all about that. I didn't know they did that.
- 1:05:01Speaker 6: All I wanted was the rings. I ain't give a
- 1:05:02Speaker 6: fuck about none of them individual awards. I ain't sign
- 1:05:05Speaker 6: up for no individual shit. I'm glad I get the
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: flowers now though. I'm almost 40 and people say, in.
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: Japan, Spike's.
- 1:05:13Speaker 6: Italy, Spain, Gator, go Gators.
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: I'm like, damn, this Gator Nate, I made the best
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: decision of my life.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: Just being a part of something like that, feel like some.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: Ivy League shit.
- 1:05:22Speaker 6: Some Stanford, Harvard type shit. We may be the Ivy
- 1:05:26Speaker 6: League of the South now. I ain't going to say
- 1:05:28Speaker 6: that now.
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: Don't even think about Vanderbilt. When you think about Ivy
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: League of the South, you don't think Vanderbilt, you think Florida.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Now you do.
- 1:05:33Speaker 6: The standards is, and football should be that way too.
- 1:05:37Speaker 6: You see how basketball getting down. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: But where was we at?
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: You started just taking over.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: There it is.
- 1:05:44Speaker 6: All right, boom. So 4-5, I played running back. I
- 1:05:47Speaker 6: played both sides of the ball. Then when I got
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: a peewee, that's when I started wearing them Husky jeans,
- 1:05:52Speaker 6: which y'all big boys know about them Huskies. Y'all don't
- 1:05:55Speaker 6: know about them Huskies. That's the size, Husky. Big fella,
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: big bones. And they put that red stripe on my
- 1:06:02Speaker 6: damn helmet, so I couldn't carry the ball no more.
- 1:06:04Speaker 6: All I can do is get physical, block people. You
- 1:06:07Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? I couldn't play those skilled positions
- 1:06:09Speaker 6: because they was like, oh, he too big. So after
- 1:06:12Speaker 6: third grade, I should have been playing peewee, but I
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: was playing midget. And it was a guy older than me.
- 1:06:18Speaker 6: And I never forget. He was like a guard or something.
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: I forget what I was playing. I might've been playing.
- 1:06:22Speaker 6: I wasn't playing linebacker yet. I was like on the line.
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: And he's like, I think they did like a little
- 1:06:26Speaker 6: sweep and pulled outside. And I came in. His name
- 1:06:30Speaker 6: was Josh McGill. Hey Josh, you know I fuck with you,
- 1:06:32Speaker 6: shell town.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: Crest Charger, state champs, but hey, practice, it was war. Like,
- 1:06:37Speaker 6: that's what it was. But I wanted to get the
- 1:06:39Speaker 6: respect of everybody. This is how I was thinking at
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: this young age, because I had a big brother, literally
- 1:06:44Speaker 6: six years older than me. Like, hey, if we're going
- 1:06:46Speaker 6: to play ball, we're going to play, and you damn
- 1:06:48Speaker 6: sure ain't going to be my little brother, the biggest
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: and the softest timid motherfucker out there. We ain't doing that.
- 1:06:52Speaker 6: Because people knew me as Lil' Breon. I ain't have
- 1:06:55Speaker 6: my identity yet. I ain't like that shit neither. But
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: my brother had the respect of everybody, street motherfuckers, school motherfuckers.
- 1:07:03Speaker 6: He was very, very, very intelligent. A little too smart
- 1:07:06Speaker 6: for his own good, but that, he just had that glow.
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: Like y'all don't see.
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: The Last Dragon? Y'all ain't movie buffs, y'all better, The
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: Last Dragon, Bruce Leroy. Bruce Leroy, he got like a
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: glow about him.
- 1:07:21Speaker 6: Like he come, he get in that mode, he get
- 1:07:23Speaker 6: the glowing. And he's magical then, a motherfucking surgeon with that.
- 1:07:28Speaker 6: And he, you know, being a, look, look at that glow.
- 1:07:31Speaker 6: He get that glow, you better watch the fuck out.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: So this is your brother? He just had the glow.
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:07:38Speaker 6: When he came around, people gravitated towards him. He was
- 1:07:40Speaker 6: like a magnet. You know what I'm saying? A lot
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: of people say, I tend to do that, make people
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: feel comfortable, whatever, but.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: This is just me.
- 1:07:47Speaker 6: You got the glow. I treat people how I want
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: to be treated, period. You know what I'm saying? That's
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: a little thing. I think about that all the time.
- 1:07:54Speaker 6: I'm like, damn, them boys didn't have to do that.
- 1:07:55Speaker 6: Bring me to their set. Y'all didn't have to do
- 1:07:57Speaker 6: that shit, but.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: You did it anyway.
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: I don't know if it's because I won the SEC.
- 1:08:02Speaker 6: It was a lot of SEC legends out there that day.
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: Y'all could have had anybody. These guys is in the media.
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: Yeah, but as a backer, like watching you as a
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: young boy. Yeah, we knew Brandon Spikes was in the building.
- 1:08:12Speaker 6: It was like, oh my God. Best friends, BFF.
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: Hey, straight up.
- 1:08:17Speaker 6: And it's a little thing. Anyway, let me tell you
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: a story. So- I hope y'all got some time.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Oh, we got time. If you do me one favor,
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: make sure that microphone's a little bit closer when you're
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: talking because there are a lot of people right now
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: that are on the edge of their seat just like
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: me and Will are.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: All right. I'm good now?
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: You can move around.
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: Just move it with you because you do a great job.
- 1:08:36Speaker 6: I ain't never been in no professional. I got a
- 1:08:38Speaker 6: show with Kevin Winter on Monday. It's professional in there
- 1:08:41Speaker 6: at our J school.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: I'll remind you again, so don't even worry about it.
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
- 1:08:46Speaker 6: Sometimes you got to remind me a couple of times.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:08:48Speaker 6: I'll be fucking shit up.
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: But you're coachable.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: I'm coachable. I learned.
- 1:08:51Speaker 6: That's one thing Bill used to say to old Frank
- 1:08:53Speaker 6: the Tank. Spice, I gotta fucking give it to you.
- 1:08:56Speaker 6: You don't fuck up the same thing twice, but you
- 1:08:58Speaker 6: fuck up, though.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:09:00Speaker 6: Do the same thing twice though. I'm like, how am
- 1:09:02Speaker 6: I supposed to take that? Is that a kind of
- 1:09:06Speaker 6: backwards compliment in that, Bill?
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Fuck.
- 1:09:10Speaker 6: But thank you, I guess.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: But yeah.
- 1:09:12Speaker 6: So boom, my big brother had this standard right away.
- 1:09:16Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? Early on, when I hit
- 1:09:17Speaker 6: my man like that, and I was playing up a year.
- 1:09:20Speaker 6: I was in the fourth grade, but I'm playing midget.
- 1:09:22Speaker 6: And I punished him, and I think his dad was
- 1:09:24Speaker 6: the coach. I hit him, and he was spinning around
- 1:09:26Speaker 6: on his helmet and shit. They like, damn. I didn't
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: have a choice. This is how I play. I was
- 1:09:31Speaker 6: at home with my big brother doing form tackling. If
- 1:09:35Speaker 6: we're going to play, it's safety in this. You got
- 1:09:37Speaker 6: to learn how to form tackle, bro. You want to
- 1:09:39Speaker 6: play defense, your job is to tackle.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Nothing else.
- 1:09:42Speaker 6: Receivers get paid to catch. Quarterback get paid.
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: To throw it. you get paid to tackle mother fucker.
- 1:09:46Speaker 6: And I think, don't quote me though, my first four
- 1:09:49Speaker 6: years in NFL, I might have missed one tackle. I
- 1:09:53Speaker 6: might've missed one the first four years. I took that
- 1:09:58Speaker 6: shit personal.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: It was my job.
- 1:10:00Speaker 6: I wanted to do it at the best of my
- 1:10:01Speaker 6: ability and not let my brothers down. Anyway, so boom,
- 1:10:04Speaker 6: I fell in love with the game right then. Then,
- 1:10:07Speaker 6: you know, obviously the movies, you know, I started to
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: like develop this like this.
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: This character.
- 1:10:13Speaker 6: Because that's all I was doing. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:10:15Speaker 6: Because I realized motherfuckers meet me, they'll be like, you're nice.
- 1:10:19Speaker 6: You're a nice guy. Hey, how you doing? How's your day?
- 1:10:24Speaker 6: What you getting on right there?
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: You been here before?
- 1:10:25Speaker 6: What would you like to order here? I don't know.
- 1:10:28Speaker 6: But that's where I'm from. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:10:29Speaker 6: And people are like, oh, that's Brandon Spikes right there.
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: This guy was fucking a lunatic.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: Nut job.
- 1:10:38Speaker 6: Personal foul. I'm getting one every game. Just to set
- 1:10:42Speaker 6: the tone. Y'all want to stand.
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: Around the pile? Wake up.
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: Wake your ass up. Counting change and counting pennies and shit. Boy,
- 1:10:50Speaker 6: my family watching this shit. You better wake up. I'm
- 1:10:52Speaker 6: trying to hurt your ass. I ain't want to put
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: you out for the rest of the season, but I
- 1:10:56Speaker 6: want to get him out for the good guys.
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: Because our chances of winning goes up by a little bit.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: 7%.
- 1:11:03Speaker 6: I knocked the best player out of the game.
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: Maybe more.
- 1:11:05Speaker 6: And that's what my, you know, that's all I wanted.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: So Coach never told you to do that. You're like,
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: this is me.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: Only one person stopped that shit, and that was Bill, William.
- 1:11:13Speaker 6: He's like, listen, I understand your fucking tone setter, and
- 1:11:16Speaker 6: that's one of the reasons I drafted you. But that
- 1:11:19Speaker 6: personal foul bullshit, you can cut that out right now
- 1:11:23Speaker 6: because it's going to be detrimental to the team if
- 1:11:25Speaker 6: you get one, and I'm going to fine your ass
- 1:11:27Speaker 6: as much as I can. Whatever it is, I'm going
- 1:11:29Speaker 6: to fine your ass because we ain't doing that. You
- 1:11:30Speaker 6: got to be fucking smarter than that.
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: I said, yeah, all right, Bill.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: I ain't get a lot of them. Yeah.
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: But you can't do dumb shit that hurts the team.
- 1:11:40Speaker 6: Hey, sometimes, sometimes you got to do what you got
- 1:11:45Speaker 6: to do. And if you got to fall on the sword,
- 1:11:48Speaker 6: I want to win that bad. Oh, he killing us?
- 1:11:51Speaker 6: He killing us. I'm going to hit him after the
- 1:11:54Speaker 6: play one time. I ain't going to hurt him. I
- 1:11:55Speaker 6: ain't going to hit him in his knee or hit
- 1:11:56Speaker 6: him low.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: I'm going to hit him.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: Night-night.
- 1:11:58Speaker 6: You're trying to go to sleep. I'm going to hit
- 1:11:59Speaker 6: him right in that temple. I was on some... I
- 1:12:01Speaker 6: was really... Like, my favorite players were Dick Buckets. What
- 1:12:03Speaker 6: can you expect?
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: Clotheslines.
- 1:12:07Speaker 6: A little eye gouge.
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: A little eye gouge.
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: Eye gouge, you motherfucking sinner.
- 1:12:12Speaker 6: Come on, man.
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: I thought... Bro, North Carolina, Shelby football. That Shelby shit.
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: That shit get real.
- 1:12:19Speaker 6: Like, have y'all seen the little... Is it Friday night
- 1:12:22Speaker 6: tights or some shit?
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: The little. We been on that. Just not without the cameras. Man.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: He was there before.
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: It was cool to do it. Man. Up, down.
- 1:12:33Speaker 6: They pads on their knees. They knee pads down there
- 1:12:35Speaker 6: on their shins. Down there by their ankles.
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: Up, down, go.
- 1:12:38Speaker 6: And I don't care if you crying. Tell your mama.
- 1:12:40Speaker 6: That's what I come from. And if you couldn't kick it,
- 1:12:44Speaker 6: play basketball. Which basketball is my first love. But that's like,
- 1:12:48Speaker 6: you knew. When they start with that Oklahoma drill. Y'all know,
- 1:12:53Speaker 6: they turn a lot of guys into hoopers.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: They don't do none of that.
- 1:12:57Speaker 6: So you can't kind of wean out the weak. You
- 1:12:59Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? They'll stick out like a sore
- 1:13:01Speaker 6: thumb if you had to be Emano Emano in front
- 1:13:04Speaker 6: of your brothers.
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: Let's see what you got. Are you going to.
- 1:13:07Speaker 6: Turn that shoulder a little bit? Are you going to
- 1:13:09Speaker 6: turn it down? Because we're going to see it. We're
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: going to see who you is. Or you're going to
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: put your face on that man. And if he gets you,
- 1:13:14Speaker 6: he gets you. Get your ass up and do it again.
- 1:13:17Speaker 6: If you ain't on that type of time, We don't
- 1:13:19Speaker 6: speak the same language. I can't be around you because
- 1:13:21Speaker 6: we ain't going to mix. I'm ahead, but I struggle
- 1:13:25Speaker 6: with leadership all the time because I expect guys to
- 1:13:27Speaker 6: play at my intensity level. But everybody want to play
- 1:13:31Speaker 6: for the same reasons, right? I'm playing per respect.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: That's it.
- 1:13:36Speaker 6: And the love of the game.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: That's it.
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: Fuck the money. Fuck the neurotic.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: Fuck the fame.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: All of it.
- 1:13:42Speaker 6: I just want the respect. I want the respect of
- 1:13:44Speaker 6: my teammates. I want the respect of the fans. And
- 1:13:48Speaker 6: most importantly, I'm a fucking coach. That's why all my
- 1:13:51Speaker 6: coaches love me to death. Beale told me, he said,
- 1:13:54Speaker 6: you slow as hell. I drafted you because I knew
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: you were slow, like you ran a slow 40, but
- 1:13:59Speaker 6: what you can see on the field, nobody's like it.
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: Nobody. You did have a slick foot.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: I ran a 4.9. 4.9 when I'm moving. I done
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: been a young a couple times.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: I thought there was a five on that. Oh, the
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: second one was a five. Hey, there was a five.
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: I was in... Nobody knew. What year did you come out?
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: I came out, I think it was 2009. 2009 was
- 1:14:19Speaker 6: like my rest year.
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: I remember coming home from workouts at Nebraska because I
- 1:14:23Speaker 4: wanted to know what Brandon Spikes ran.
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: Because I thought.
- 1:14:26Speaker 6: Number one linebacker two years in a row.
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: Junior?
- 1:14:29Speaker 6: He was a junior. But I came back my senior year.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: Only.
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: solely for a third national championship.
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: But who were the guys at the top of the draft? Oh,
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: it was like.
- 1:14:37Speaker 6: Sean Lee went to the Cowboys. I'm still pissed about that, Jerry.
- 1:14:42Speaker 6: How could you?
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: But you had these backers that's like, you know.
- 1:14:44Speaker 6: Bill Parcells would have said, I want that motherfucker. Yeah,
- 1:14:49Speaker 6: that's what we need. That type is fucking 40. He
- 1:14:51Speaker 6: know football. He love this shit. And he run through
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: people's face. And that's what Bill was on.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: He's like.
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: I'm glad you ran. Cause I didn't do shit. I
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: didn't do nothing at the draft. All I did is interview.
- 1:15:00Speaker 6: You know, teens had like 10 psychologists on my ass
- 1:15:02Speaker 6: every time.
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: I said, damn, am I crazy?
- 1:15:06Speaker 6: Why every teen got six psychologists in here talking to
- 1:15:09Speaker 6: me about bullshit?
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: Y'all, I ain't talking about y'all.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: We ain't talking about.
- 1:15:13Speaker 6: No football, but that could be the reason why I failed.
- 1:15:15Speaker 6: But I never hid who I was.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:15:18Speaker 6: Like what you see is what you get. And I
- 1:15:20Speaker 6: think that's what make people gravitate towards me. Cause I'm raw.
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: I'm uncut. And I'm not perfect.
- 1:15:26Speaker 6: I'm human.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: We make mistakes. We make mistakes. My mom, when I
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: was young, she used to tell me, I'll leave going
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: to work. She'd say, make some mistakes, son.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: I'm like, what you trying to say? Go ahead and
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: turn up, cup of chocolate milks.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: Turn up and it's going back. But obviously, you can't
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: get it right until you fail sometimes.
- 1:15:44Speaker 6: Trial and error. Sometimes you just got to mess it
- 1:15:47Speaker 6: up a little bit to figure it out. I was
- 1:15:49Speaker 6: one of those guys, but now I'm in a place
- 1:15:51Speaker 6: where I can mentor and guide. Like, don't go down
- 1:15:53Speaker 6: that road, son. I've been down there. I fell down
- 1:15:55Speaker 6: that shit already. And I'm still up, ten toes down.
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: Now I'm still here. But you don't want to go
- 1:15:59Speaker 6: that way. And for one, you ain't built for adversity.
- 1:16:02Speaker 6: I already know. I done seen your ass when you
- 1:16:04Speaker 6: was on that 20th gas.
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: I saw it.
- 1:16:08Speaker 6: I saw the human element set in on your ass.
- 1:16:11Speaker 6: And we ain't showing no motherfucking weakness. You know what
- 1:16:14Speaker 6: I'm saying?
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: That's what Florida used to be. Yeah, I'm tired as fuck.
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: But my opponent won't know it. He'll never know.
- 1:16:20Speaker 6: It was, you know what I'm saying? That shit meant something.
- 1:16:23Speaker 6: Y'all don't been there. Long play drive. Come on, 15
- 1:16:27Speaker 6: plays kicking your ass. And you got that monkey jump
- 1:16:30Speaker 6: on your back. You got that little cramp on your
- 1:16:32Speaker 6: side right there. You know what I'm telling you?
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: You drank too much coffee. Get that little cramp. Everybody
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: done got that little cramp. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: That shit.
- 1:16:38Speaker 6: And you want to give, but you look at your brothers.
- 1:16:40Speaker 6: And me, I get to see it all eyes. Just
- 1:16:43Speaker 6: standing up.
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: And not only that.
- 1:16:44Speaker 6: 96,000 watching too. So I can't, I don't get to
- 1:16:48Speaker 6: do it. In certain positions, you just don't get to
- 1:16:50Speaker 6: do certain shit. Like the QB1, I would never play
- 1:16:53Speaker 6: that shit in Florida, never. Ever, but I don't want
- 1:16:56Speaker 6: too far, but let's go back.
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: Hold on, before you do, what were you saying about
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: being a Nebraska?
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my bad.
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: When I was, because I was a freshman, that's when
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: obviously the Combine stuff was going on.
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: We've come back to this draft talk.
- 1:17:05Speaker 4: But Cohen, when he had that five second 40, it
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: was him and a handful of others. You mentioned Sean Lee.
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: Number one linebacker.
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: But the backers, it's like when you loved watching the Combine,
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: like when you were a young cat and knowing that
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: Brandon was like the top dog in the class. I
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: remember driving back to my townhouse, dorm, whatever it was,
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: to see what he ran at the 40s. And when
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: I saw he ran a five second 40, I was like,
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: oh fuck, he ain't gonna get drafted in the first round.
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: Cause I was just a.
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: Mad, like he just loved backups. And he was one
- 1:17:31Speaker 4: that was like, you know, he had the dreads. The
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: dude you'd create on NCAA.
- 1:17:35Speaker 6: Then you turn on the tape, you see it on
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: the tape. It ain't just the media pumping them, oh,
- 1:17:40Speaker 6: this guy did, hey. Y'all, this motherfucker Circle, he can
- 1:17:45Speaker 6: ruin it for us today. If y'all don't get him,
- 1:17:48Speaker 6: this one guy right here, he may ruin the game
- 1:17:50Speaker 6: for us. That's the type of impact, the type of
- 1:17:54Speaker 6: presence I felt like had to come with the position.
- 1:17:57Speaker 6: I don't know. Some people be like, B, you taking
- 1:18:01Speaker 6: this shit too far, bro. This a game.
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: I'm like, nah, it ain't for me. You don't understand.
- 1:18:05Speaker 6: It's like an outlet at the same time, like a release,
- 1:18:09Speaker 6: but at the same time, like just a you know,
- 1:18:11Speaker 6: be a part of something like that group, that camaraderie that, you.
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying? We all go through the same.
- 1:18:16Speaker 6: Yeah, that common goal. Like that's, I think that's what I,
- 1:18:20Speaker 6: you know, gravitated towards. And I think that's why I
- 1:18:22Speaker 6: played the game mostly. After I retired, I realized that
- 1:18:24Speaker 6: because I was by myself, you know, family man, home
- 1:18:27Speaker 6: with the family or whatever. And I'm like, man, it
- 1:18:29Speaker 6: was good. I'm retired, I'm chilling. I'm like, damn, you know,
- 1:18:32Speaker 6: business was going good. And just the wins wasn't the same.
- 1:18:35Speaker 6: I'm like, I think I'm used to being a part
- 1:18:37Speaker 6: of something. So I was, I've been on teams since
- 1:18:38Speaker 6: I was four years old.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:18:40Speaker 6: And been that guy, never, you, you're gonna lead us.
- 1:18:44Speaker 6: I didn't, I always, a lot of times I'm like,
- 1:18:45Speaker 6: let me just do my job at the best, you
- 1:18:47Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? But they're like, nope, brain the
- 1:18:48Speaker 6: rest of you motherfuckers wish. And once you take it there,
- 1:18:53Speaker 6: a lot of these kids scared to leave, because once
- 1:18:54Speaker 6: you take it there, all eyes on you now. Waiting, oh,
- 1:18:58Speaker 6: you said this, but look at you. Hands on your hip,
- 1:19:01Speaker 6: big guy. You tired, you bent over. I could never,
- 1:19:05Speaker 6: and guess who else felt like that? Timothy T-Bone. and
- 1:19:08Speaker 6: a lot of other guys, but to have that, to
- 1:19:10Speaker 6: have that, that type of bond, that comradery, that connection,
- 1:19:14Speaker 6: that shit was special. And it's never, I got lucky guys.
- 1:19:17Speaker 6: My two quarterbacks was Tim Tebow and Tom Brady. And
- 1:19:20Speaker 6: you know, Cam Newton was in that conversation too. We'll
- 1:19:23Speaker 6: get to that, but I'm gonna keep going, sorry. I
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: know I told y'all I'll be talking then. Just remember
- 1:19:29Speaker 6: what we're talking about so we can get back to it.
- 1:19:30Speaker 6: All right, so boom, middle school ball. Boom, so I
- 1:19:33Speaker 6: do my thing.
- 1:19:36Speaker 4: Here's a question I have to get to whatever point of.
- 1:19:39Speaker 6: The journey this was. I'm going from elementary to middle school.
- 1:19:42Speaker 6: Let me just tell you what I'm going to do.
- 1:19:43Speaker 6: Elementary ball, middle school ball, high school ball, college ball,
- 1:19:46Speaker 6: then we'll get to the NFL. Can we do that?
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: Let's do that.
- 1:19:49Speaker 6: And then y'all can ask me whatever. Whenever y'all want
- 1:19:53Speaker 6: to fucking talk. But anyway, so boom. But I didn't
- 1:19:56Speaker 6: mention this. Y'all know this shot?
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: Come on, man. Man, class of 2027, once in business school,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: y'all see it?
- 1:20:07Speaker 3: Once in business school, y'all see it?
- 1:20:12Speaker 6: Cold hard rep, class of 2027. Yeah, so boom, middle school,
- 1:20:19Speaker 6: I developed a love for basketball then.
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: I was a hooper.
- 1:20:23Speaker 6: I hooped my whole life, too, since I was four.
- 1:20:25Speaker 6: I didn't even mention that, but I was a hooper.
- 1:20:28Speaker 6: That was my first love. And I thought I was
- 1:20:30Speaker 6: the bread truck. I thought I was Barkley. That's what
- 1:20:32Speaker 6: they used to call me. That was my nickname. Cause I,
- 1:20:34Speaker 6: I just, damn, I just, I can't jump like him now.
- 1:20:36Speaker 6: I couldn't play above the rim. But Barkley was like six, four, six, five.
- 1:20:40Speaker 6: He ain't that tall, but he, you know, he got,
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: he did his damn thing. But I could, I could
- 1:20:44Speaker 6: do whatever.
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: I could dribble.
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: I could dish it.
- 1:20:46Speaker 6: I could break press. I was a good player. You know,
- 1:20:48Speaker 6: I was recruited by Wake Falls division one. A lot
- 1:20:51Speaker 6: of my teammates played at Wake Falls, whatever. AAU basketball
- 1:20:54Speaker 6: was a thing. And I get to that too. But
- 1:20:56Speaker 6: basketball was, I came into a dilemma when I got
- 1:20:59Speaker 6: into middle school. I was like, damn, I do love
- 1:21:01Speaker 6: football and I'm very dominant. And I was big. Like
- 1:21:04Speaker 6: I told you, I've been in the same size since
- 1:21:05Speaker 6: I was 12. I was already big. You know what
- 1:21:07Speaker 6: I'm saying? So a lot of people are like, maybe
- 1:21:08Speaker 6: he doing it just because he big and everybody. But
- 1:21:10Speaker 6: it was a lot of big motherfuckers where we from now.
- 1:21:12Speaker 6: Like they just breed them. Like Shelby, they got some
- 1:21:15Speaker 6: athletes and some big husky motherfuckers. They love football and
- 1:21:20Speaker 6: they some nasty dirty motherfuckers too. You want to recruit them,
- 1:21:23Speaker 6: trust me, especially for the SEC. Because they got that,
- 1:21:25Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying? Especially to play certain positions,
- 1:21:27Speaker 6: you got to be a little nasty.
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:21:29Speaker 6: You a nice guy. You ain't going to survive.
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: Never going to survive.
- 1:21:31Speaker 6: Not even just SEC.
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: Nowhere. Playing football, you don't got no.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: Edge, no intensity.
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: You got to have a screw loose.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:21:37Speaker 6: And your teammates, like, I always just want to gain
- 1:21:39Speaker 6: respect of my teammates first, my coaches, and the fans.
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: That's it.
- 1:21:43Speaker 6: As long as they respect me, fuck what the media saying,
- 1:21:46Speaker 6: fuck what everybody. If my brother's like, B, you good enough,
- 1:21:49Speaker 6: and I'm happy to go to war, which, that's all
- 1:21:52Speaker 6: I ever wanted to hear.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: That's it.
- 1:21:54Speaker 6: And the championships, I had to put that in there too.
- 1:21:56Speaker 6: The rings, gotta have the rings. But all right, boom,
- 1:21:59Speaker 6: so get it. This one, it really came to me hard.
- 1:22:01Speaker 6: So I'm going into high school, ninth grade, right? So
- 1:22:05Speaker 6: I'm an AAU player, we travel basketball. I think we
- 1:22:08Speaker 6: had nationals in Orlando at the Worldwide Sports, AAU basketball nationals.
- 1:22:12Speaker 6: And I had came to a point where the high
- 1:22:14Speaker 6: school coach, varsity, he was like, you know, Roy Kirby
- 1:22:16Speaker 6: was like, hey, we got off-season training, you coming in here,
- 1:22:20Speaker 6: you know? We want to see what you got. Basically
- 1:22:22Speaker 6: trying to say if you're going to play varsity or not.
- 1:22:25Speaker 6: So obviously basketball is my first love. I already been
- 1:22:29Speaker 6: in a season with my guys, my brothers. We finna
- 1:22:31Speaker 6: go to the nationals and play for the national championship
- 1:22:34Speaker 6: or whatever. So I go down to Orlando and the
- 1:22:38Speaker 6: guys doing off-season workouts, whatever. So I miss like a
- 1:22:40Speaker 6: week or two. So I get back. We start our
- 1:22:43Speaker 6: little off-season program. I'm on JV. First start, the same
- 1:22:48Speaker 6: size on JV with the same dog ass mentality.
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: I'm going to bite your head off. Big, little, short, fat, tall, black, yellow, blue, white.
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: Your ass getting hit. Period.
- 1:23:02Speaker 6: And your mama going to say, he too old to
- 1:23:03Speaker 6: see his birth certificate. I've been doing this shit. I've
- 1:23:07Speaker 6: been biting kids' heads off because I played with older kids.
- 1:23:10Speaker 6: You know how that go. You big already. You want
- 1:23:12Speaker 6: to see what you got. You want to compare it
- 1:23:14Speaker 6: to the older people. So my mentality, just mine. I
- 1:23:18Speaker 6: don't know, it was hard to explain, but the parents never,
- 1:23:20Speaker 6: even when I played basketball like this too now, not
- 1:23:22Speaker 6: on no, you know, no brute type shit, but it was,
- 1:23:26Speaker 6: you know, basketball is a gentleman's game now. You got
- 1:23:28Speaker 6: to find the spots and the spacing to get your
- 1:23:30Speaker 6: shots off. And you know what I'm saying? You can't
- 1:23:32Speaker 6: be no, I wasn't one of them football players out
- 1:23:34Speaker 6: there fouling and shit.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:23:36Speaker 6: I could move.
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: That's what made me a good linebacker because I was
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: good lateral.
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: I could cut you off, get you to the baseline,
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: I charge.
- 1:23:42Speaker 6: They like, this big motherfucker taking the charge. Come on.
- 1:23:46Speaker 3: Come on.
- 1:23:47Speaker 6: Or I pin your shit on a boy. I may
- 1:23:48Speaker 6: dunk on your ass. Like, I love balling.
- 1:23:51Speaker 3: I could do it. I could dribble. Iso, move.
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: Get the, move.
- 1:23:55Speaker 3: Come here. I might go past you. I might pull
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: that motherfucker up. I might draw the defense in.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: Ha!
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: One of them.
- 1:24:04Speaker 6: Who y'all, y'all probably like Bruin and shit.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: I'm a magic guy.
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: I'm, oh.
- 1:24:09Speaker 3: The OGs raised me though. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: I'm old school.
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: I respect.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: Bruh.
- 1:24:16Speaker 6: Ain't nothing wrong with bruh, but I'm just saying that generation.
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:24:19Speaker 6: I mean, no, no, of course not. Why go to
- 1:24:22Speaker 6: this Colby Bean Bryant? Rest in peace. MJ first, then
- 1:24:26Speaker 6: Colby Bean Bryant. Solely because of the competitor, the attitude. Like, yeah,
- 1:24:31Speaker 6: the early says Colby, he's a little asshole. And I'm
- 1:24:34Speaker 6: getting off topic again, but I ain't gonna go there.
- 1:24:35Speaker 6: We're gonna talk about that. Let's get back to the
- 1:24:37Speaker 6: goddamn high school shit.
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: So, boom. So you're on JV.
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: I'm on JV.
- 1:24:42Speaker 6: First day, first practice, I'm on JV. I'm on JV
- 1:24:44Speaker 6: for like first period, five minutes. Because what I do,
- 1:24:48Speaker 6: bite a motherfucker head off, like to kill them. He
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: had a decision to make. Am I a football player?
- 1:24:53Speaker 6: Or it was one of them type of leagues. It
- 1:24:55Speaker 6: wasn't in the Oklahoma gym. I was just that mad.
- 1:24:58Speaker 6: I used to ruin practices sometimes. I did it at
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: Florida too. I never did it at New England just
- 1:25:02Speaker 6: because of Tom, the Pharaoh, the goat. I ain't never
- 1:25:05Speaker 6: want to.
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: Get into it.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: The Pharaoh.
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: His name is Pharaoh on my phone, but he changed
- 1:25:09Speaker 6: his goddamn number. I ain't got a number no more.
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: Pharaoh, holler at.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: Me, man. Damn.
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: Alex.
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: Alex. Shit, he takes me back.
- 1:25:19Speaker 6: That's the guru. He took me through, he got my
- 1:25:24Speaker 6: body right all through that. I felt like Ali all
- 1:25:27Speaker 6: my whole career. I still feel good now. I used
- 1:25:31Speaker 6: to knock the shit out of people, feel great. But anyway,
- 1:25:34Speaker 6: so boom, I get there.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: I'm on JV.
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: I'm like this motherfucker. I go into the locker room.
- 1:25:37Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm in the JV locker room. I said, oh, okay.
- 1:25:43Speaker 6: I didn't say shit.
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: I just, you know. with the motherfucking. So I paint on,
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: I was one of them motherfuckers. Oh, let me get
- 1:25:52Speaker 3: my glass right. I was one of them motherfuckers.
- 1:25:54Speaker 6: I went to that mode, Alvin Mack, 14 years old.
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: Kill everybody. Everybody dies.
- 1:26:02Speaker 6: Brother or not, I know we've been playing together since
- 1:26:03Speaker 6: third and fourth grade, but I'm about to let the
- 1:26:06Speaker 6: head boss of the coach know you trying to play
- 1:26:08Speaker 6: me and I'm a Spice and where I'm from, Spice,
- 1:26:10Speaker 6: everybody know. Don't fuck with the Spiceys, they handsome now.
- 1:26:14Speaker 6: They handsome, you know what I mean? But them motherfuckers
- 1:26:16Speaker 6: on that bullshit. They will switch up on y'all. Like
- 1:26:19Speaker 6: we could go zero to 60, you know what I'm saying?
- 1:26:21Speaker 6: Like that's just the reputation. I knew about it and
- 1:26:23Speaker 6: I was aware so I could control it. You know
- 1:26:24Speaker 6: what I'm saying? It's like we had a temper. Like that's,
- 1:26:26Speaker 6: men and women, that's that blood is fiery. Like a
- 1:26:29Speaker 6: fucking hot tamale, a red pepper spice. You know what
- 1:26:33Speaker 6: I'm saying? When I was young, I'm like, damn. Don't
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: fuck with the Spiceys. Bro, you already know there's something
- 1:26:37Speaker 6: coming with that. You might get a razor across the face.
- 1:26:41Speaker 6: or get your ass punched out. You like, damn, I
- 1:26:44Speaker 6: ain't even saying nothing. And my reaction just, I felt disrespected.
- 1:26:50Speaker 6: And whatever come with that, I'm on all of it.
- 1:26:52Speaker 6: Like sometimes I used to get like that in the league.
- 1:26:54Speaker 3: But also you can control it. Sometimes.
- 1:26:59Speaker 6: It was times I get taken out the game. Like
- 1:27:01Speaker 6: come yo, the first couple of series, you know how
- 1:27:03Speaker 6: that drilling going and shit. I couldn't, I was raging
- 1:27:05Speaker 6: at that bitch. I've been trying to kill your ass.
- 1:27:07Speaker 6: I've been practicing, preparing you all week. Now you're right
- 1:27:10Speaker 6: across from me. I can look at you and see
- 1:27:12Speaker 6: if you got any weakness. I'm studying your body language.
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:27:15Speaker 6: I'm going to strike free in your ass. I'm looking
- 1:27:17Speaker 6: for it though. Because when that blood hit the water,
- 1:27:20Speaker 6: great white shark, you already knew. Then the red belly
- 1:27:24Speaker 6: piranhas around me, them 10 other motherfuckers. On your ass,
- 1:27:28Speaker 6: four quarters, four quarters. I'm glad I wasn't on the
- 1:27:31Speaker 6: opposite side because we was out of control. Not only
- 1:27:34Speaker 6: me had this mentality. You didn't have a choice. You
- 1:27:36Speaker 6: better have this shit. You can't play on the defense.
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: Herb ain't say it. Strong ain't say it.
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: I say it.
- 1:27:42Speaker 6: It's my fucking defense. That's what come with playing linebacker, though.
- 1:27:45Speaker 6: You playing that position, it come with that. Like, I
- 1:27:48Speaker 6: don't know how you don't set the tone and be
- 1:27:51Speaker 6: a general and, you know. Sometimes I see the guys
- 1:27:55Speaker 6: out there, they be like.
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: Left, left, left. I say, what is this, a whisper party?
- 1:27:59Speaker 6: Nope.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: We play in front of 96,000.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: Left, left, motherfucker.
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: Get your ass.
- 1:28:04Speaker 6: Urgency, where is it at? And it ain't just on Saturdays.
- 1:28:07Speaker 6: I need to see that shit on bloody Tuesdays. When
- 1:28:10Speaker 6: ain't nobody watching, it's just me and you in the work.
- 1:28:13Speaker 3: Come on. Let's go. Y'all get me going, bro. I
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: ain't talking about- I'll tell you what, while you're talking,
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: I'm just looking.
- 1:28:18Speaker 6: At- Hey, sorry.
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: Am I too much?
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: No, you're crushing, dude.
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: You sure?
- 1:28:23Speaker 3: Change nothing. Okay. Change nothing.
- 1:28:25Speaker 6: I can tone it down now.
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: No.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: No.
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: I'm just excited to see y'all. You are doing- This
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: is Mount Bushmore. This is Mount Bushmore. No, stop, man.
- 1:28:36Speaker 4: The culture's gonna tap into this and be like, Spike
- 1:28:38Speaker 4: just holding court with all these white.
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: Boys on the bus.
- 1:28:43Speaker 6: That's one thing about football. I don't see no color.
- 1:28:45Speaker 6: I was raised in a very diverse area.
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: I feel you.
- 1:28:54Speaker 6: I don't see none of that real talk, bro. Like,
- 1:28:56Speaker 6: I go off how people treat me, and that's when
- 1:28:58Speaker 6: I judge your ass. Like, I don't see none of that.
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: We the boys. Hell yeah. Fuck yeah.
- 1:29:05Speaker 6: That's one of the reasons why I miss ball mostly,
- 1:29:07Speaker 6: because I don't get to do this shit no more.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: Dude, I'll tell you what. Sitting around and talk shit.
- 1:29:11Speaker 3: I didn't know one of the greatest choices we've ever
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: made in our lives was asking Spike to come on
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: that SEC. Bro, it was.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: It was one of the best.
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: Because you're like, we're family now. I'm like, oh, shit.
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: And guess what?
- 1:29:21Speaker 6: We was... You know, I was having my day and shit.
- 1:29:25Speaker 6: I was having a great time with my family and
- 1:29:27Speaker 6: going into the SEC ledger thing. I didn't even know
- 1:29:29Speaker 6: that existed. They called me and said, hey, you going
- 1:29:32Speaker 6: into the 2026 SEC ledger? I said, what is that?
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: Hit that mic. I'm sorry.
- 1:29:35Speaker 6: I said, what is that? What is that?
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: The SEC ledger? It's like, oh, yeah, you're one of
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: the best players ever played in the SEC.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: I said, oh. Well, I'll be there.
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: What time is it?
- 1:29:43Speaker 6: What day? Yes, I'll be there. I didn't even know
- 1:29:47Speaker 6: they had that, but cool.
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: This is nice.
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: So JV. JV, boom.
- 1:29:50Speaker 6: So I bust Choo-Choo ass. His name was Choo-Choo. My dog,
- 1:29:52Speaker 6: Brandon Miller. Show creep. Still love you. You already know.
- 1:29:56Speaker 3: Got it tatted on the stomach. I ain't got my
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: seat pack.
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: I ain't never had one. I will put my seat
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: back on.
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: Look, though.
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: Look, though.
- 1:30:03Speaker 3: So you beat Choo-Choo's ass on the court. One hit.
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: First period.
- 1:30:09Speaker 6: We used to, we was one of them. Ones on
- 1:30:12Speaker 6: ones right away, inside, let's go. Know they running it.
- 1:30:15Speaker 6: That's what I, you know, that was my first thing.
- 1:30:17Speaker 6: That was really good at stopping the run. I took
- 1:30:19Speaker 6: it personal. That's what I do. So I smoked Choo Choo,
- 1:30:22Speaker 6: knock him into another day. He probably, I don't know.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: I hate to do them.
- 1:30:26Speaker 6: We from the same little area and shit.
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: I had to do it to him.
- 1:30:28Speaker 6: But anyway, they said, Spice, go out to the varsity field.
- 1:30:33Speaker 6: I said, you damn right. And guess what else? I
- 1:30:36Speaker 6: would try to go play linebacker or the head coach.
- 1:30:39Speaker 6: Rutgers said, no. Defensive end, I'm 14. Now I'm the
- 1:30:42Speaker 6: same size now. So I'm like, oh, but I wanted
- 1:30:44Speaker 6: to play linebacker. Cause I knew at defensive end, I
- 1:30:47Speaker 6: learned very early that if you impactful and you got
- 1:30:50Speaker 6: a presence, they going to just run to the other
- 1:30:52Speaker 6: fucking side and do everything. Oh, they're going to stay
- 1:30:54Speaker 6: away from you. So I need to be in the middle.
- 1:30:56Speaker 6: I can get you going that way. I can get
- 1:30:58Speaker 6: you going that way. And you better not come through
- 1:30:59Speaker 6: this motherfucker. Cause that's where I reside in. And I'm,
- 1:31:04Speaker 6: I ain't even eat pregame meal. I ain't ate pregame meal, soldiers.
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: I am starving.
- 1:31:12Speaker 6: Bro, Will, you probably was eating pasta and shit for
- 1:31:17Speaker 6: the game. Trying to get some electrolytes and energy and shit. Hey,
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: y'all don't brought the world.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: I am starving.
- 1:31:35Speaker 6: I'm coming out there to eat because I'm starving and
- 1:31:38Speaker 6: I'm going to go eat what I kill.
- 1:31:40Speaker 3: Because you're a great white shark. Hey, I'll say ego.
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: Right now, I am Brandon Virgil Spice right now with
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: you guys. Only way, only way Alvin Mack surface, if
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: you put a helmet on me. If you put a
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: helmet on, just a helmet, I don't need the fucking
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: butt pad, the knee pads, not even a girdle.
- 1:32:00Speaker 6: I was a raw dog guy. I wasn't on girdles
- 1:32:03Speaker 6: or none of that shit. I wanted to be free.
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: I'm running that fireplace. I need to be light as
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: possible so I can move as fast as I can.
- 1:32:09Speaker 6: So I can't, that little girdle would have probably slowed
- 1:32:11Speaker 6: me down.
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:32:12Speaker 6: I need all my love. But didn't nobody even know
- 1:32:14Speaker 6: that until I ran that shit. But let me get,
- 1:32:16Speaker 6: I keep fucking going.
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: All right, boom.
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: You smack him, you're on varsity. Boom, I'm on varsity, boom.
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: You DN. DN. So I said, what, before I run,
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: I told you I signed up for LB.
- 1:32:25Speaker 6: I'm this size, probably big. I'm probably like 6'4, 277.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: 14.
- 1:32:30Speaker 6: 14. I lost weight to play linebacker. I'm probably about
- 1:32:34Speaker 6: 310 right now.
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: You're not 310.
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: Fat as hell.
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: I'm 310 right now. That's why he's on the Cavins. Well,
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: it's crazy.
- 1:32:40Speaker 6: He don't look through his head, does he? Yeah, I'm
- 1:32:42Speaker 6: been a big back my whole life.
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: Whole life.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: Been eating.
- 1:32:45Speaker 6: That's when I'm the happiest. When I'm stuffing this pothole.
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: Anyway, look, though. So Pete did.
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: So boom.
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: And I'm like, damn, Roy's name was Roy Kirby.
- 1:32:55Speaker 6: He finally told me I was working for Dan when
- 1:32:56Speaker 6: I went into the Hall of Fame in Shelby, North Carolina.
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: Appreciate you, coach, for always pushing me to the limit. Anyway,
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: so boom.
- 1:33:03Speaker 6: I'm an end, and I'm on scout team. I'm like,
- 1:33:05Speaker 6: all right, big, big. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: Big.
- 1:33:09Speaker 6: When it was, I'm an earnest defensive end spot, which
- 1:33:11Speaker 6: I did. I took over and led the team in sacks.
- 1:33:13Speaker 6: That's a fact. Y'all can fact. In the comments, when
- 1:33:16Speaker 6: y'all talk, see if I'm lying. If I'm lying, I'm flying. 14,
- 1:33:20Speaker 6: we go deep in the playoffs. I think we lose
- 1:33:22Speaker 6: on a motherfucking... A hook and ladder or some shit. Yo,
- 1:33:25Speaker 6: what's that little play where they throw that little curl
- 1:33:27Speaker 6: in the little red? A fucking hook and ladder will
- 1:33:30Speaker 6: beat us. I'll never forget that. That would have been
- 1:33:32Speaker 6: three state championship for Brandon Virgil Spikes. Got to, but
- 1:33:36Speaker 6: I'm all right. Anyway, beat me freshman year. So boom,
- 1:33:39Speaker 6: we graduated a bunch of older guys. It's funny because
- 1:33:41Speaker 6: this shit kind of happened in college too. Same way,
- 1:33:43Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying? But I just wanted to
- 1:33:45Speaker 6: prepare and do what I need to do. Do my part.
- 1:33:46Speaker 6: If I'm a scout team, I'm going to give you
- 1:33:48Speaker 6: a good ass look. I'm going to give you the
- 1:33:49Speaker 6: best look. You ain't going to see this on Friday night.
- 1:33:51Speaker 6: I promise you. So I'm gonna have you ready to go.
- 1:33:53Speaker 6: That's my job, whatever, that's the role, boom. So then
- 1:33:55Speaker 6: I eventually became a starter, freshman year, boom. So I
- 1:34:01Speaker 6: came a starter, probably like, I don't know, probably like
- 1:34:04Speaker 6: four games in, freshman year, boom. So now I'm with
- 1:34:06Speaker 6: the ones, I can't play scout team no more. Something
- 1:34:09Speaker 6: happened to one of the scout team linebackers. So I
- 1:34:11Speaker 6: just went and played scout team. The linebacker, just to
- 1:34:14Speaker 6: prove a point to Roy that I can play this shit.
- 1:34:15Speaker 6: So I'm going to fuck up y'all period every day
- 1:34:18Speaker 6: playing my linebacker. I'm going to impose my will on
- 1:34:21Speaker 6: your starters to get recruited by, they was getting recruited.
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: By ACC school, so I already knew I had them.
- 1:34:27Speaker 6: I've never opened an ACC letter or a big team letter.
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: It's true.
- 1:34:33Speaker 6: You would have looked great in maize and blue.
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: I like the big A. I know you do.
- 1:34:39Speaker 6: You're a big boy in the big house. Yeah, I
- 1:34:42Speaker 6: like that. I talk the time about what it's like
- 1:34:45Speaker 6: to be there.
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: It's nice.
- 1:34:47Speaker 3: I love how you're thinking about it as if it's
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: actually an option.
- 1:34:50Speaker 6: No, I know, but I remember getting those leather. I'm like, ah,
- 1:34:53Speaker 6: that's a cool helmet. I like that helmet.
- 1:34:55Speaker 3: Wolverines. I'm a big X-Man.
- 1:34:58Speaker 6: I was like, I can't even open it because I
- 1:35:01Speaker 6: might like what they say.
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: Yeah. Put that in a pile. You controlled that.
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to see it.
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: He was locked into the SEC the whole time.
- 1:35:09Speaker 6: I did want to take a visit to Notre Dame though.
- 1:35:12Speaker 6: I can't think of who the coach was at the
- 1:35:14Speaker 6: time though out there. They didn't even let me on campus.
- 1:35:16Speaker 6: The GPA was too low.
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: It was probably Charlie Weiss.
- 1:35:19Speaker 6: Nah, it was before Charlie. It was before Charlie. I
- 1:35:22Speaker 6: was younger when they was recruiting me. It was before him.
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: You offered it freshman year of high school?
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: Sophomore year.
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: I think Clemson, then Tennessee, then Brooks. All right, let
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: me tell this story. So boom.
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: So boom.
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: Okay, so you were in the linebacker spot. You had
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: a big scout team.
- 1:35:34Speaker 6: Scout team, I'm ruining it. They had to take me out. No,
- 1:35:38Speaker 6: he can't play scout team no more. We can't get
- 1:35:39Speaker 6: nothing done. I get it, Spikes, but you too big.
- 1:35:43Speaker 6: You have to lose weight to play the position because
- 1:35:45Speaker 6: you're going to do more running. You're going to have
- 1:35:47Speaker 6: to cover. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: I'm 277. I might have been 287.
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: I feel like I was 287 since.
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: 14 years old.
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: Boom.
- 1:35:55Speaker 6: So I lost weight. I lost like that off season.
- 1:35:58Speaker 6: I got down to like, I don't know. My high school,
- 1:36:02Speaker 6: I'm probably like 245, 250. I lost like 30 pounds. Hydroxycut.
- 1:36:07Speaker 6: Shout out to hydroxycut.
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: Y'all don't know. Y'all don't remember that shit.
- 1:36:10Speaker 6: I remember the hydroxycut. I used to be in that motherfucker.
- 1:36:12Speaker 6: Shake like a stripper. It makes you burn fat. You
- 1:36:16Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? The calories, it burns faster than
- 1:36:18Speaker 6: some shit.
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: I lost weight, though.
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: I lost it.
- 1:36:20Speaker 6: I was working out, too, but that definitely helped out.
- 1:36:22Speaker 6: But I used to have the jitters.
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: I'm like, fuck it.
- 1:36:24Speaker 6: This is what it take to be great. I don't
- 1:36:26Speaker 6: know what it did, but it just made you sweat harder,
- 1:36:29Speaker 6: burn more calories, whatever. But I got down and I
- 1:36:31Speaker 6: was taller, so I still was heavy, but I looked slim.
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:36:35Speaker 6: That's when I started to look like a real athlete
- 1:36:37Speaker 6: and shit. My sophomore year, led the team in picks.
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: Boom.
- 1:36:41Speaker 6: First three games now, I quit. We started out 0-3,
- 1:36:44Speaker 6: because the first year, we was pretty good. We graduated
- 1:36:46Speaker 6: a lot of older players, seniors and shit. So the
- 1:36:49Speaker 6: sophomore year, we was a whole, our whole team was
- 1:36:52Speaker 6: down here in sophomores. We had a few older players
- 1:36:54Speaker 6: that had decent roles, but everybody, our whole defense was
- 1:36:57Speaker 6: sophomores and freshmen, whole defense. First three games, we lose 0-3.
- 1:37:01Speaker 3: I quit.
- 1:37:02Speaker 6: I said, I'm playing basketball anyway. I'm going to the league.
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: Need this shit.
- 1:37:05Speaker 6: I quit, literally. Roy Kirby talked me back into coming
- 1:37:09Speaker 6: back out there. We ended up winning that, winning the
- 1:37:11Speaker 6: state championship. I really thought I was a hooper. I
- 1:37:14Speaker 6: was like, man, we suck. I don't handle losing well.
- 1:37:19Speaker 6: I've never lost in my entire life, unfortunately. I probably
- 1:37:22Speaker 6: can count how many L's I took my whole life
- 1:37:24Speaker 6: on two hands. I lost four of them at Florida
- 1:37:27Speaker 6: in four years, four games. Lost three of them. Wait,
- 1:37:31Speaker 6: lost two of them maybe my sophomore year. Maybe I
- 1:37:33Speaker 6: lost five because I lost one my freshman year. Lost three.
- 1:37:37Speaker 6: I think y'all beat us.
- 1:37:38Speaker 3: Florida?
- 1:37:39Speaker 6: Yeah. We played in fucking Outback Bowl.
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Capital One Bowl.
- 1:37:43Speaker 6: Capital One Bowl. I gave all my bowl stuff away.
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: I don't count those games.
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: I was a junior or senior in high school watching
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: that game being like, oh, shit, Florida. Will and I,
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: we grew up like our high school was your time
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: at Florida. We were like, holy shit.
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: I'm in the locker room listening to it. Tim Tebow
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: halftime speeches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: He's standing right next to his dad when he did
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: that shit.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: Oh, hold on. Don't get that yet. Don't get that yet. Oh, man.
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: So you start getting all these offers from schools. You
- 1:38:13Speaker 3: guys win two state championships, could have had three. First
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: offer was who? Clemson.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: First offer was Clemson.
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: And you thought no fucking shot.
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: No shot.
- 1:38:22Speaker 3: I like Clemson.
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: Your first offer you ever.
- 1:38:23Speaker 3: Got, you're like, I'm not going to the ACC.
- 1:38:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:38:25Speaker 6: I just was like, this is cool. I can build
- 1:38:27Speaker 6: off this. Because I was at a powerhouse. We had
- 1:38:30Speaker 6: guys older than me getting recruited. We had a guy
- 1:38:32Speaker 6: go to Navy. We had guys go to Carolina. We
- 1:38:37Speaker 6: had guys go to Penn State. We had guys go
- 1:38:39Speaker 6: all over.
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: So you had a little spot.
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:38:41Speaker 6: So my thing is, if they come see them.
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: I'm going to make sure they fucking see me.
- 1:38:46Speaker 6: And not just my statue. Oh, he looks big and pretty.
- 1:38:48Speaker 6: You know, look like Tarzan, play like Jane. Nah, it
- 1:38:51Speaker 6: ain't one of them.
- 1:38:52Speaker 3: I'm really one of them. I'm really trying to bite.
- 1:38:55Speaker 6: Your head off. Y'all just want to win. I want
- 1:38:57Speaker 6: to dominate your ass. I want to take your will away. Like,
- 1:39:00Speaker 6: that's the best feeling ever. I can just do whatever
- 1:39:03Speaker 6: I want with a man. Like, he know I'm coming.
- 1:39:05Speaker 6: He been preparing for me all season.
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: And I just take his will from him. That's the
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: most satisfying. I'm a psychopath. I know. Did you ever
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: hear Luke Combs talk about their story against you playing,
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: you guys?
- 1:39:18Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I think I did.
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: I did.
- 1:39:21Speaker 6: Luke, it's funny, though, because it's crazy because we did
- 1:39:24Speaker 6: used to come up here and play team.
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: Not up here.
- 1:39:26Speaker 6: I feel like this is Asheville in this area because
- 1:39:29Speaker 6: the mountains and the trees and shit. But we would
- 1:39:31Speaker 6: go up in the mountains and play teams in the
- 1:39:33Speaker 6: playoffs and stuff like that. So what school Luke went to?
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: What school he went to?
- 1:39:38Speaker 3: What's his name? Caleb.
- 1:39:41Speaker 4: Caleb.
- 1:39:43Speaker 3: But this question real quick comes from, oh. Go back
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: to that, Sheriff. Cruz says, does he remember ripping a
- 1:39:49Speaker 3: dread off of a kid's head and tying it on
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: his wrist? The kid played with Luke Holmes. A.C.
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: Reynolds, yeah.
- 1:39:57Speaker 6: I was jealous of them, too. That's why I dunked
- 1:39:58Speaker 6: on somebody, too, in basketball.
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: I forgot about that.
- 1:40:00Speaker 6: But second of all.
- 1:40:01Speaker 3: A.C. Reynolds had a turf field. In high school, we
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: had never played on turf. You see a turf field,
- 1:40:05Speaker 3: that goes hard.
- 1:40:06Speaker 6: What?
- 1:40:06Speaker 3: Back then? Yes.
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: I said, damn, they got a turf.
- 1:40:09Speaker 6: You know, we from the grass, dirt. We all about it.
- 1:40:12Speaker 6: We don't give a damn.
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: Line it up.
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: Give a damn about none of it. But when you
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: saw it, though, when you saw it, I was like, oh.
- 1:40:19Speaker 6: I feel like I made it to another level or something.
- 1:40:22Speaker 6: We put our foot in their ass, obviously. Of course,
- 1:40:25Speaker 6: but I was one of those guys where I want
- 1:40:27Speaker 6: to intimidate your coach. Like, don't run no toss over there,
- 1:40:31Speaker 6: because I might run into your ass. Just to knock him,
- 1:40:34Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying? Like, damn, he done hit
- 1:40:36Speaker 6: the coach. I'm with the shits.
- 1:40:40Speaker 4: They said that they was game planning. Coach was trying
- 1:40:41Speaker 4: to get him fired up for the game to block you.
- 1:40:44Speaker 4: And you, I don't know if it's you killed the fullback.
- 1:40:46Speaker 4: Should we play the clip for him?
- 1:40:47Speaker 6: Oh, they got a clip.
- 1:40:48Speaker 3: Y'all got a clip. Play the clip.
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: Play the Luke. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I seen it.
- 1:40:51Speaker 6: I thought y'all actually had me ripping this kid's dread out. Yeah.
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: Putting it around my wrist.
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: Like I was, man. You took a scalp, bro. In
- 1:40:59Speaker 3: high school.
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: I was on all that shit.
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: Did you ever actually do that in real life?
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: No, I wasn't that sick.
- 1:41:03Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: Okay. Okay.
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: I am a human, guys. Come on. But I, Yep.
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: Good old Luke.
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: Can I meet him?
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: Fuck. Have a beer.
- 1:41:21Speaker 6: That whole milk. I was drinking that whole milk back.
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: In the day. Look at that.
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: That's sick.
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: That's sick.
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: That's 235, 240.
- 1:41:28Speaker 6: Why would you do that? That's when I'm pulsing. My
- 1:41:46Speaker 6: Bruce Leroy is.
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: Like, why would you do that the first couple of plays?
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: You got to wait. Yeah.
- 1:41:55Speaker 3: I was on all of that, bro.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: Ha, ha, ha.
- 1:42:12Speaker 3: And that's a true story. He said that was the
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: end of the game. Yeah. Bro, I swear to God
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: you look at my bottom.
- 1:42:18Speaker 6: He looked over at the sideline. And that's what I did.
- 1:42:20Speaker 6: I used to love to like, I'll tell you another
- 1:42:23Speaker 6: true story. I was been on this the whole time.
- 1:42:25Speaker 6: So in the league, I'm going to go to the
- 1:42:26Speaker 6: league real quick. New England versus Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bill. I
- 1:42:29Speaker 6: think Fred Jackson was the running back. He was having
- 1:42:33Speaker 6: a great year. I think he was like a D3.
- 1:42:36Speaker 6: He come from Division III school and all. He was
- 1:42:38Speaker 6: killing it.
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: I was like, hold on now.
- 1:42:40Speaker 6: This dude, he doing his thing even defending three. Danny
- 1:42:43Speaker 6: Wood here, same thing. D3 beast though, these dudes can play.
- 1:42:46Speaker 6: But anyway, my job is to stop the running back.
- 1:42:49Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? I done ran one son
- 1:42:50Speaker 6: of a bitch up out of Buffalo. 55, the speed
- 1:42:54Speaker 6: limit stopped right there. I'm gonna have to come get
- 1:42:56Speaker 6: your ass. If you go over 55, it's over with.
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: I'm here now.
- 1:43:00Speaker 6: Anyway, Fred Jackson was having a great year. I think
- 1:43:03Speaker 6: they had a backup running back choice. He played for LSU.
- 1:43:06Speaker 6: He was like on their sideline or something. I done
- 1:43:08Speaker 6: hit Fitzpatrick, knocked his helmet off, personal foul, you already know,
- 1:43:11Speaker 6: done smoked his ass, helmet came off, dropped 250 on
- 1:43:14Speaker 6: his ass. Ugh, yeah.
- 1:43:17Speaker 3: Flat, ugh.
- 1:43:18Speaker 6: They said, fuck you, Spice, you dirty as hell. I said,
- 1:43:21Speaker 6: just for that, I'ma put your man to sleep. I'ma
- 1:43:24Speaker 6: knock his ass out, you keep talking. TV timeout, I'm
- 1:43:28Speaker 6: over there. Watch, motherfucker, I'ma kill his ass. I'ma put
- 1:43:31Speaker 6: him to sleep. Fred, this is his fault. This your
- 1:43:33Speaker 6: boy's fault. His ass, his jersey clean, playing all day,
- 1:43:36Speaker 6: talking to me like that. This shit ain't for play.
- 1:43:39Speaker 6: I take this shit serious. My people watching this shit.
- 1:43:43Speaker 6: We get back out there, come out of the huddle.
- 1:43:44Speaker 6: They do some little fancy play. I done caught that
- 1:43:48Speaker 6: dab on him. Night, night, went on and knocked him out.
- 1:43:55Speaker 6: Ball flew around. I ain't even trying to get the ball.
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: I looked at Charles.
- 1:43:58Speaker 6: Look at your man.
- 1:44:00Speaker 3: Come get him. He done.
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: Come get his ass.
- 1:44:02Speaker 6: And I did like seven grown men like that. I
- 1:44:04Speaker 6: knocked out Sean Green. I knocked out Willis McGahee. I'm
- 1:44:08Speaker 6: talking about not just, they see me coming. I hit
- 1:44:10Speaker 6: your ass and put you, ain't no, not seen, I
- 1:44:13Speaker 6: think I knocked out Chandler. What was that tight end
- 1:44:15Speaker 6: from Buffalo? He was tall, Chandler.
- 1:44:16Speaker 3: What was his name?
- 1:44:18Speaker 1: Chandler something.
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: What year would this have been?
- 1:44:21Speaker 6: It was like 20, like 10 to.
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: 14, 15. What was your last year? My last year
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: was like 18, 17. We probably play each other.
- 1:44:28Speaker 6: But I played Buffalo. Yeah, we played together. We played
- 1:44:31Speaker 6: that time when Hottown picked up that fumble and scored
- 1:44:34Speaker 6: on y'all.
- 1:44:34Speaker 3: You remember that? No, I do not remember that. We
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: was in Tennessee.
- 1:44:36Speaker 6: I do not remember that. But this week I had
- 1:44:38Speaker 6: Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson, he wasn't having no good day
- 1:44:41Speaker 6: on us.
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't play with Chris Johnson. Oh, you didn't? No, no, no.
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: I keep thinking. My first year was 14.
- 1:44:46Speaker 3: Michael Ruse.
- 1:44:47Speaker 6: What's the other big tackle? Was it a tackle?
- 1:44:50Speaker 3: There was only three tackles in the last 30 years.
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: It was B-Hop.
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:44:55Speaker 3: Black dude. Michael Ruse was there. And then from 14
- 1:44:59Speaker 3: to 22 was me.
- 1:44:59Speaker 6: Yeah, we played against each other. Yeah, I think it
- 1:45:02Speaker 6: was 14 because Hightower was like a rookie. I promise you.
- 1:45:04Speaker 6: Chandler Jones, you played against Chandler Jones too. I remember
- 1:45:07Speaker 6: your ass. You were a lot bigger than that.
- 1:45:09Speaker 3: I remember your ass. Chandler Jones bought it. Dude, the
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: first time I played Chandler Jones in New England. Yeah.
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: It was the first third down. He bull rushed me
- 1:45:16Speaker 3: and got a strip sack fumble that you guys were
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: told for a touchdown. This had to be. 15, 16? 15, okay.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: 15 or 16.
- 1:45:24Speaker 3: He probably been like the second year.
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: He was young, but he was very talented.
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: Yeah, he's long as shit. And I was like, oh,
- 1:45:29Speaker 3: this is going to be a way to find him.
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: I was like, Syracuse?
- 1:45:31Speaker 6: And his pedigree, his bloodline, crazy.
- 1:45:34Speaker 3: His bloodline is insane. People don't even know. But all right,
- 1:45:37Speaker 3: where we at? Let me stay on this shit because
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: we can talk. I'll talk. You ripped the dude's dread out. Okay, boom, boom. Oh, yeah, yeah, boom, boom.
- 1:45:43Speaker 6: I did all that shit. So- You know, that type
- 1:45:46Speaker 6: of mentality, how I was pulling hair out and poking eyes.
- 1:45:49Speaker 6: I wore a visor to protect myself. People been coming
- 1:45:51Speaker 6: after me since I was in fifth grade. Like, get
- 1:45:53Speaker 6: them out.
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: Hit his ass late.
- 1:45:55Speaker 6: We don't give a damn if he 10. We don't
- 1:45:57Speaker 6: give a fuck. We trying to win. I've never played
- 1:46:00Speaker 6: in any type of environment. That's what I thought football was.
- 1:46:03Speaker 6: You had to be tough as nails. Whatever that shit
- 1:46:05Speaker 6: came with, you had to get with the program. This
- 1:46:07Speaker 6: man gone.
- 1:46:07Speaker 3: You got to take out the best player.
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
- 1:46:09Speaker 6: If I can get in your, I stick my finger
- 1:46:11Speaker 6: in your eye one time, you're going to be like, ah!
- 1:46:13Speaker 6: You ain't going to be thinking about that next play.
- 1:46:15Speaker 6: You're going to be like, damn, that motherfucker trying to
- 1:46:16Speaker 6: pull my eyeball out. I made fun of the ball,
- 1:46:19Speaker 6: bubbled the ball a little bit.
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 1:46:20Speaker 3: Mind game.
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:46:21Speaker 6: But that one time, it caught my eye. I was like, damn,
- 1:46:24Speaker 6: I know I ain't been caught in 20 years. I
- 1:46:27Speaker 6: came back over.
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: I said, yeah, yeah, Colts. He said, he looked up there.
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: He said, for real? I said, damn. One game suspension.
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: Right away.
- 1:46:40Speaker 6: Hey, we won that fucking game though. See, it ain't
- 1:46:43Speaker 6: what it is. But anyway, boom. So high school, I've
- 1:46:45Speaker 6: been on that bullshit. I thought that's what came with
- 1:46:49Speaker 6: the territory. You had to be the most Intimidating, most
- 1:46:54Speaker 6: fucked up, psycho. Normally the backers are, they crash out.
- 1:46:58Speaker 6: You got a couple guys on the team, especially when
- 1:47:00Speaker 6: they used to have that wedge back in the day.
- 1:47:03Speaker 3: They hold hands.
- 1:47:04Speaker 6: Y'all don't remember none of that. Y'all didn't have to
- 1:47:05Speaker 6: do none of that shit.
- 1:47:06Speaker 3: Hold do what?
- 1:47:07Speaker 6: On the wedge, on the kickoff return. You remember when
- 1:47:09Speaker 6: they used to block arms and shit?
- 1:47:10Speaker 4: That's back when kickoff got like a 15-yard head start.
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: Crash dummy. Literally.
- 1:47:15Speaker 6: Run down there and throw that whole shit in there.
- 1:47:17Speaker 3: Be sleeping out there. He'll wake up and go do
- 1:47:21Speaker 3: it 10 more times. I wasn't one of them crap.
- 1:47:24Speaker 6: I ain't get down like that. I was like, nah,
- 1:47:27Speaker 6: I do this during games, special teams.
- 1:47:29Speaker 3: You know? It's not for you.
- 1:47:30Speaker 6: I mean, I probably could have played a little longer
- 1:47:32Speaker 6: if I had a, you know, take everyone serious. Like
- 1:47:34Speaker 6: once I had to become, once I became a special teamer,
- 1:47:37Speaker 6: Wasn't athletic enough. I said, these guys serious. They trying
- 1:47:39Speaker 6: to keep their motherfucking job. It's time for me to.
- 1:47:43Speaker 3: Hang the cleats up.
- 1:47:46Speaker 6: One time, they grabbed me up. I couldn't get off
- 1:47:47Speaker 6: of him.
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: I gave him everything I had.
- 1:47:48Speaker 3: He hit me up. I said, yep.
- 1:47:51Speaker 6: Got my pension at 401k.
- 1:47:52Speaker 3: Looking good.
- 1:47:53Speaker 6: I'm out of here. I ain't going out looking like
- 1:47:56Speaker 6: no peon. No slap dick. Hell no, sir.
- 1:48:00Speaker 3: I think I got a good reputation. What was recruiting
- 1:48:02Speaker 3: like for you?
- 1:48:03Speaker 6: Recruiting was very, very competitive and special, but It got clear.
- 1:48:09Speaker 6: The whole thing got clear when I met Timothy Tebow
- 1:48:13Speaker 6: on a couple visits.
- 1:48:14Speaker 3: Who were the top schools you had?
- 1:48:15Speaker 6: So my top schools was Miami. I'll tell you all
- 1:48:19Speaker 6: how that fell apart. LSU, Alabama, Florida, and VTech. So
- 1:48:24Speaker 6: when I got ready to take my visit to LSU,
- 1:48:27Speaker 6: Katrina happened.
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: Boom.
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: It's like the universe was like off limits.
- 1:48:31Speaker 6: Like literally the week I was supposed to go, Katrina happened.
- 1:48:34Speaker 3: Boom.
- 1:48:34Speaker 6: So I can't even, you know, that was a mess.
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:48:38Speaker 6: You know, so boom, that was off the limits. I
- 1:48:39Speaker 6: get ready to go to Miami. Coach Coker was down
- 1:48:42Speaker 6: at the time. They fired a whole staff. He called me,
- 1:48:44Speaker 6: he's like, hey. And I was throwing up the U
- 1:48:46Speaker 6: when I was in high school. Like my junior, senior year,
- 1:48:49Speaker 6: I thought out, cause they was that then. You know
- 1:48:51Speaker 6: what I'm saying? I was like, I want to go
- 1:48:52Speaker 6: be a part of that. That looked like the best team.
- 1:48:53Speaker 6: Cause Florida wasn't what it was. Like they had history and,
- 1:48:56Speaker 6: you know, tradition back then, like in the nineties. But
- 1:48:59Speaker 6: this OC, this is almost 10 years late. You know
- 1:49:00Speaker 6: what I'm saying?
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: They hadn't really won.
- 1:49:02Speaker 3: And you're watching him in 04.
- 1:49:04Speaker 6: That's when I start watching when I meet Urban Meyer. Like,
- 1:49:07Speaker 6: when I met him and you just, it's the same
- 1:49:09Speaker 6: thing when I met Tim Tebow. When I met Prince Oliver,
- 1:49:11Speaker 6: I met Tom Brady. You know right away.
- 1:49:14Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:49:14Speaker 6: Like, this is the guy that's going to take me
- 1:49:16Speaker 6: where I need to go. I just got to do
- 1:49:17Speaker 6: my part and pull the rest of these motherfuckers with
- 1:49:20Speaker 6: me that's.
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: On my side.
- 1:49:21Speaker 6: I'll make sure to hold them accountable and bring them
- 1:49:23Speaker 6: with me. And we're going to do our thing and
- 1:49:25Speaker 6: go win this motherfucker. Because I'm going to die trying.
- 1:49:28Speaker 6: And they knew that. I'm gonna serve every last ounce
- 1:49:31Speaker 6: of energy that's in my body just for that victory.
- 1:49:33Speaker 6: And I'm gonna do that shit over and over and
- 1:49:36Speaker 6: over and like it too. Psycho nuts. I was one
- 1:49:38Speaker 6: of these practice guys too. I ain't like to miss
- 1:49:40Speaker 6: practice because I was sucky if I did. So if
- 1:49:43Speaker 6: I had a little limp, I'm gonna be out there.
- 1:49:45Speaker 6: I needed to look so I can get out there,
- 1:49:47Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Saturday or Sunday. I couldn't
- 1:49:49Speaker 6: miss practice and be like, oh yeah, I'm gonna go
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: out there. I didn't feel right if somebody done took
- 1:49:53Speaker 6: my reps.
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: He deserved them game reps. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:49:56Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? He may not be ready,
- 1:49:57Speaker 6: but he put the work in. Like, I get it.
- 1:49:59Speaker 6: But I just didn't feel right doing that. Well, you
- 1:50:02Speaker 6: don't want to go out there and wing it either. Yeah,
- 1:50:04Speaker 6: but people do that. Y'all seen guys.
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: You're like, mama, you ain't practiced all week. And you're
- 1:50:07Speaker 3: going to go out here and try to shoot that
- 1:50:10Speaker 3: tour doll in your ass and play.
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: And it don't look good.
- 1:50:13Speaker 6: We might have made a mistake. We should have had
- 1:50:15Speaker 6: your ass inactive.
- 1:50:16Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:50:17Speaker 6: But anyway, you know, anyway, so boom.
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: So.
- 1:50:21Speaker 3: Miami fired what I said, LSU, Katrina. That's why Miami
- 1:50:25Speaker 3: fell apart because you got fired?
- 1:50:26Speaker 6: Yeah, the whole staff. And he was like, hey, they
- 1:50:28Speaker 6: letting us go. It's going to be a whole new
- 1:50:30Speaker 6: staff coming in. And I kind of, you know, I
- 1:50:32Speaker 6: built a relationship with them. I think Coach Vanderbilt, I
- 1:50:35Speaker 6: think Coach Vanderbilt was, I forget who was the D
- 1:50:37Speaker 6: coordinator or the linebacker coach at Miami at the time.
- 1:50:40Speaker 6: He may be the head coach at Oklahoma. I think
- 1:50:41Speaker 6: it was him.
- 1:50:42Speaker 3: No shit. You look that up. What year was it?
- 1:50:44Speaker 3: What was your senior year? Oh, 2009.
- 1:50:47Speaker 6: Sorry, not 2009.
- 1:50:48Speaker 3: Yeah, Venables might've been.
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: At Oklahoma then.
- 1:50:51Speaker 3: 2005.
- 1:50:51Speaker 6: He might've been at Oklahoma too, but he recruited me too,
- 1:50:53Speaker 6: but I didn't go there, obviously. I think Stoops was
- 1:50:55Speaker 6: out there too.
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:50:56Speaker 6: Stoops was out there, so I probably got it mixed up.
- 1:50:58Speaker 6: But it was another linebacker because he was well-known. He
- 1:51:01Speaker 6: was legendary. But he was at Miami.
- 1:51:02Speaker 3: Anyway, Coach Coker kept it at G's, like, hey, they're
- 1:51:05Speaker 3: letting us all go.
- 1:51:06Speaker 6: You might want to go. I don't know who's coming in.
- 1:51:07Speaker 6: I was like, damn. And it was probably a good
- 1:51:10Speaker 6: thing because if I had to went down after that,
- 1:51:12Speaker 6: that's a whole different planet. Cause I was off the
- 1:51:15Speaker 6: chain in Gaines, Vegas. Not much going on. I can
- 1:51:19Speaker 6: imagine being in Miami. I used to get down there now.
- 1:51:22Speaker 3: Urban hated when we went down there. So it doesn't
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: work out in Miami. You talked about when you met
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: Tim Tebow.
- 1:51:30Speaker 6: So I met T's.
- 1:51:33Speaker 3: Tell me about the first time you guys met.
- 1:51:34Speaker 6: The first time I feel like we met during an
- 1:51:38Speaker 6: unofficial visit somewhere. I can't remember what school it was.
- 1:51:40Speaker 6: It was like, we was younger. I was like, dang,
- 1:51:43Speaker 6: this dude, the quarterback, he's my size.
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:51:46Speaker 6: That was the first thing I noticed.
- 1:51:47Speaker 3: I was like, that's a big ass white boy, the
- 1:51:49Speaker 3: more big, you know what I'm saying?
- 1:51:52Speaker 6: Straight up, when you see him, you like, damn, that's
- 1:51:54Speaker 6: a quarterback. All my homies from back home, they be like, damn,
- 1:51:57Speaker 6: he look like a linebacker B. And you don't see
- 1:51:59Speaker 6: many linebackers my size. You know what I'm saying? I
- 1:52:01Speaker 6: was like, no, he a quarterback. He really like that.
- 1:52:04Speaker 6: He pound for pound, one of the strongest people on
- 1:52:06Speaker 6: the team. Like shouting records when we was freshmen. But anyway,
- 1:52:08Speaker 6: so I meet him on one of these visits. We
- 1:52:10Speaker 6: kind of hit it off. you know, change numbers or whatever.
- 1:52:12Speaker 6: So then we take our official to Alabama. Coach Shuler
- 1:52:15Speaker 6: was there. And it's funny because it may, saving a
- 1:52:18Speaker 6: whole career may be different and Shuler get us. Because
- 1:52:21Speaker 6: Coach Shuler, he bring us in. I think Percy was
- 1:52:23Speaker 6: there too. He's like, hey, if I can get y'all
- 1:52:25Speaker 6: three guys, we'll win a lot of ball games. Coach
- 1:52:28Speaker 6: Meyer got us and we won a lot of ball.
- 1:52:30Speaker 6: He ended up getting fired and Saban come in and
- 1:52:33Speaker 6: the rest is his. Did y'all see Saban's documentary?
- 1:52:35Speaker 3: Oh, yes. You see who he said the standard was, right? Yeah,
- 1:52:39Speaker 3: Irvin Meyer and the Florida Gators.
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: We chasing him. We the standard.
- 1:52:42Speaker 6: That's what, his words, not mine. And that made me
- 1:52:47Speaker 6: feel so good because when they took that third SEC
- 1:52:49Speaker 6: championship right out of my hands like that, I was
- 1:52:53Speaker 6: on that bench. Clock struck zero, zero, zero, zero. I
- 1:52:56Speaker 6: was on that bench crying like a baby. Had my
- 1:53:00Speaker 6: head down in the thing. Like literally the game just ended.
- 1:53:04Speaker 6: Next thing I know, somebody tapped me.
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: On my shoulder. I look up.
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: It's Coach Saban.
- 1:53:09Speaker 3: He says, stand up. Stood up. Shook his hand.
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: He hugged me.
- 1:53:12Speaker 6: He said, hey, you a hell of a player. You
- 1:53:15Speaker 6: have a great NFL career. I love how you play
- 1:53:17Speaker 6: the game. And good luck till you love these battles.
- 1:53:20Speaker 6: I looked him in the eye and said, thank you, Coach.
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: Still crying.
- 1:53:23Speaker 6: Snot bulbs and all. So he had the Shea Urban's
- 1:53:26Speaker 6: hand and V-line straight to me.
- 1:53:29Speaker 3: He had to. It happened too fast.
- 1:53:32Speaker 6: True story.
- 1:53:33Speaker 3: And I always knew I would play for him.
- 1:53:34Speaker 6: There's certain coaches, Bill Cowher, Bill Parcells.
- 1:53:37Speaker 3: I was one of them dudes.
- 1:53:39Speaker 6: If you ain't got that, I can't respect you. You
- 1:53:41Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? If you ain't got a little
- 1:53:43Speaker 6: shit about you, you don't put fur in most motherfuckers.
- 1:53:46Speaker 6: I ain't the average motherfucker, so you can't strike fur
- 1:53:48Speaker 6: in a motherfucker like me. But the rest of these motherfuckers,
- 1:53:51Speaker 6: scared ass. I'm going to bump your ass in the
- 1:53:53Speaker 6: hall when I see you.
- 1:53:54Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 1:53:55Speaker 6: Ready to work, motherfucker? Let's go. You know you done
- 1:53:58Speaker 6: got one of them. You got one on your roster.
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: You did good.
- 1:54:00Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, so boom.
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: We there.
- 1:54:04Speaker 6: Have a great time. Obviously, Urban get us. I went
- 1:54:07Speaker 6: to VTech, too. That was a little too close to
- 1:54:09Speaker 6: home for me. It was a nice campus.
- 1:54:11Speaker 3: Beautiful. VTech is awesome. How many was offering something beyond
- 1:54:15Speaker 3: a scholarship?
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: All of them.
- 1:54:17Speaker 4: Whole truth, nothing but the truth. So when it fell
- 1:54:19Speaker 4: through with Miami, you had something kind of going with them?
- 1:54:21Speaker 4: It's like, ah, we don't know how this thing's going
- 1:54:22Speaker 4: to look.
- 1:54:23Speaker 6: We ain't... That ain't even, because it was Miami. What
- 1:54:29Speaker 6: you think was going on? Do y'all think this shit
- 1:54:31Speaker 6: just started? Y'all seen blue chips? Don't tell me y'all
- 1:54:35Speaker 6: too young to seen blue chips.
- 1:54:36Speaker 3: Haven't seen blue chips. Y'all better be right. Now all
- 1:54:38Speaker 3: this shit, I'm giving y'all classic sports. Spikes, I was
- 1:54:41Speaker 3: offered by Miami. There was never a dollar figure talked about.
- 1:54:44Speaker 3: I have no clue why not. Maybe you just wasn't
- 1:54:47Speaker 3: in the right circles or something. I don't know.
- 1:54:51Speaker 4: Fred Taylor came on and he's saying he had that
- 1:54:53Speaker 4: $ 50, 000 brown bag.
- 1:54:54Speaker 3: Sitting on his door.
- 1:54:55Speaker 6: And what year was that, Will?
- 1:54:57Speaker 3: What year was that for Fred Taylor?
- 1:54:59Speaker 6: Early 90s, right? It had to be.
- 1:55:03Speaker 3: So you think that just started going on?
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 1:55:08Speaker 4: We've had a few, like Coach O, Orgeron came on,
- 1:55:13Speaker 4: and he was saying, well, now you just go in
- 1:55:14Speaker 4: the front door.
- 1:55:14Speaker 3: You don't have to go in the back door anymore.
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: That is.
- 1:55:17Speaker 3: So, look, and for me, I never– that was cool
- 1:55:20Speaker 3: because I wanted to change.
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: 1994. 1994.
- 1:55:23Speaker 3: $ 50, 000. And there's inflation.
- 1:55:24Speaker 6: And we're talking about 10 years later.
- 1:55:26Speaker 3: You're getting at least 100.
- 1:55:27Speaker 6: We're talking about 10 years later. And they ain't won
- 1:55:29Speaker 6: a championship. And we've– Irvin's first class. They ain't won
- 1:55:32Speaker 6: a championship in 10 years. I don't think they've been
- 1:55:35Speaker 6: relevant in 10 years after Coach Spurrier leave, right?
- 1:55:39Speaker 3: So, let me ask you this. Do you get the
- 1:55:42Speaker 3: money after you sign or when you say, okay, I
- 1:55:45Speaker 3: commit to Florida?
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: I don't remember.
- 1:55:48Speaker 3: Oh, but the whole truth, nothing but the truth. No comment.
- 1:55:52Speaker 6: I can't get into detail. I got to save the
- 1:55:54Speaker 6: shit for my book. That's going to be one of
- 1:55:58Speaker 6: the things I talk about. I got to save shit
- 1:55:59Speaker 6: for the pivot for my big brothers.
- 1:56:00Speaker 3: Now, down there. Come on now.
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: Them gators.
- 1:56:03Speaker 6: You know I got to save a little. So I'm
- 1:56:04Speaker 6: giving y'all a whole lot now. Look, I'm being honest
- 1:56:08Speaker 6: from the get-go. Since I put Step Foot in your
- 1:56:10Speaker 6: beautiful office, I've been honest.
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: I got one question. What's up? In college in totality,
- 1:56:17Speaker 3: Did you sniff seven figures?
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Okay. Seven figures is a lot of money,
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: but just think about this.
- 1:56:23Speaker 3: In totality across four years. Yeah, as a college student,
- 1:56:27Speaker 3: that's a lot of money, right?
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:56:28Speaker 6: That's a lot of money. I ain't going to say that.
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: No.
- 1:56:31Speaker 6: But I really wouldn't know because I didn't come from money.
- 1:56:35Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? It was never for me, honestly.
- 1:56:38Speaker 6: I did what I wanted to do, but I wanted
- 1:56:39Speaker 6: to make sure my people was good. My mom moved
- 1:56:42Speaker 6: down to Gainesville. Right when I got there, I said,
- 1:56:46Speaker 6: my whole life, you was like, I can't wait till
- 1:56:49Speaker 6: your ass turn 18 to get you. And you followed
- 1:56:52Speaker 6: me right here.
- 1:56:52Speaker 3: How'd you get here?
- 1:56:53Speaker 6: I ain't asking no questions, but hey, mom.
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: They can check out the book. She stay in the apartment?
- 1:57:00Speaker 6: I ain't answering no questions. All I got was my same.
- 1:57:04Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:57:05Speaker 6: Those same home cooked meals I got my whole life,
- 1:57:08Speaker 6: I got those right there in Gainesville.
- 1:57:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:57:10Speaker 3: I felt at home.
- 1:57:11Speaker 6: I never felt out of place.
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: I knew Gainesville.
- 1:57:13Speaker 6: I'm going to get to that, how I committed to Florida.
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: So, boom.
- 1:57:16Speaker 6: You know, we had this special bond right away. I
- 1:57:18Speaker 6: turned on Percy Hallman's film, and I knew that I've
- 1:57:21Speaker 6: never seen anything like that on the tape.
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: Literally.
- 1:57:25Speaker 6: Nothing like it. Players know you hit the tape. You
- 1:57:30Speaker 6: can tell. It's like, ain't no boo.
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: That's your resume.
- 1:57:31Speaker 3: That's what everyone does their freshman year. They all get there.
- 1:57:33Speaker 3: You get to the dorm. Someone's like, put each.
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: Other's tape up.
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: They're going to talk their shit.
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:57:37Speaker 6: Put the tape up.
- 1:57:38Speaker 3: It's funny.
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: I got to give a dog a shout out. Chris Rainey.
- 1:57:41Speaker 6: Only high school highlight tape of my own is Christopher Rainey's.
- 1:57:45Speaker 6: And he got on that one. But the cover is
- 1:57:47Speaker 6: his face in Cheetah. On a half Cheetah, half Rainey.
- 1:57:51Speaker 6: He had the most crazy highlight tape.
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: So fast. So fast.
- 1:57:54Speaker 6: But he thought he was going to do that shit
- 1:57:55Speaker 6: in Florida. I said, Rayman, you're not going to have
- 1:57:57Speaker 6: no 300 rushing yards at halftime, dude.
- 1:57:59Speaker 4: Bro, we would be before special teams meeting. We'd have
- 1:58:02Speaker 4: the game up before you hit the meeting on Xbox.
- 1:58:05Speaker 4: and you'd just be playing a punt return mode special
- 1:58:08Speaker 4: teams on NCAA and it'd just be rainy to see
- 1:58:10Speaker 4: if you could score.
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:58:12Speaker 6: He was like that. He had eyes, but he was
- 1:58:13Speaker 6: just smaller. He needed, he had to go through the process.
- 1:58:16Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? He wasn't invested in the
- 1:58:18Speaker 6: program yet. But when he came around and gained some weight,
- 1:58:21Speaker 6: he started to do his thing. But anyway, so boom,
- 1:58:24Speaker 6: I go, I take my visit to Florida. And I'm
- 1:58:28Speaker 6: going to give you a little something right here. And
- 1:58:30Speaker 6: I'm one of the best players on the team. I
- 1:58:33Speaker 6: ain't going to say who it is. I'm coming down.
- 1:58:35Speaker 6: I'm on an unofficial now. I'm on an unofficial visit.
- 1:58:38Speaker 6: I think it may have been Junior Day. He picks
- 1:58:39Speaker 6: me up from the airport. I get in. He riding
- 1:58:43Speaker 6: in a big 760. Big boy 760. I think it
- 1:58:47Speaker 6: was 760 or 750. I ain't never even been in
- 1:58:49Speaker 6: one of them.
- 1:58:50Speaker 3: I get in. He on the phone. Basically a semi-truck.
- 1:58:53Speaker 6: Big BMW, you know, the big body. Anyway, so I
- 1:58:58Speaker 6: get in, sit down. He on the phone having a
- 1:59:00Speaker 6: conversation with somebody. I'm like, I know who he is
- 1:59:02Speaker 6: or whatever, like one of the better players on the team.
- 1:59:04Speaker 6: He having a conversation with.
- 1:59:05Speaker 3: Somebody like, oh, it's going to be this, you know,
- 1:59:08Speaker 3: to have a sit down. I'm like, what are you
- 1:59:11Speaker 3: talking about?
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: He's saying numbers and stuff.
- 1:59:13Speaker 6: And I'm like, I said, what, what?
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: Y'all doing it like that now?
- 1:59:18Speaker 6: I come from nothing. I ain't never had shit. I ain't,
- 1:59:22Speaker 6: that's the first time I ever, you know what I'm saying?
- 1:59:23Speaker 6: So he said, watch out, B, watch out.
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on. He like, look back now. I
- 1:59:28Speaker 3: look in the back, see? Double bag full of money.
- 1:59:31Speaker 3: Most money I ever seen in my life.
- 1:59:34Speaker 6: It wasn't for me. Obviously, he was a big-time player,
- 1:59:38Speaker 6: considering coming out or coming back, but it wasn't my money.
- 1:59:41Speaker 6: I ain't gonna tell you who it was, but right there,
- 1:59:45Speaker 6: coming from nothing, country boy, struggled. Check to check, my
- 1:59:49Speaker 6: mama did a great thing. She instilled grit and hard
- 1:59:51Speaker 6: work in me. Right then and there, I knew I
- 1:59:54Speaker 6: was on the right path. Like I had never really
- 1:59:58Speaker 6: been around that type of money. I don't know how
- 1:59:59Speaker 6: much was in there, but it was a.
- 2:00:01Speaker 3: Whole lot, a whole lot. Big, big, whole lot, a.
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: Lot of it.
- 2:00:06Speaker 6: And I was just like, he hangs up, he like,
- 2:00:09Speaker 6: what's up, man? How was your flight? You ready to
- 2:00:12Speaker 6: be a gator? And he goes on to show me
- 2:00:14Speaker 6: the best time in my life. I might've took 17
- 2:00:17Speaker 6: shots of Singer's gin that night too. Just playing Russian Attack.
- 2:00:23Speaker 6: You brain go mad, you remember Russian Attack? You lose
- 2:00:26Speaker 6: on Russian Attack, somebody score, you gotta take a shot.
- 2:00:29Speaker 6: I probably like 17, I took 17 shots, it definitely
- 2:00:32Speaker 6: was alcohol poisoning.
- 2:00:34Speaker 1: But back in the.
- 2:00:35Speaker 6: Day, back in the day you have, you know, you
- 2:00:37Speaker 6: went on visits, y'all, you know what I'm saying? That's
- 2:00:39Speaker 6: part of it.
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: You show them a good time, you be a good host.
- 2:00:41Speaker 6: And number part, people don't understand that Florida was the
- 2:00:45Speaker 6: number one party school at the time. We was the
- 2:00:47Speaker 6: number one party school at the time, literally on the map.
- 2:00:49Speaker 6: You came to Florida games, so many people flunked out
- 2:00:52Speaker 6: and you know, it's a high standard and academics is
- 2:00:54Speaker 6: like that. But if you, you know, get sucked into it,
- 2:00:58Speaker 6: to the games Vegas vibes.
- 2:00:59Speaker 3: It'll get you.
- 2:01:00Speaker 6: It'll get you and y'all as a flunk out, you'll
- 2:01:02Speaker 6: be somewhere else trying to get back in. And I
- 2:01:05Speaker 6: seen it happen all the time. People just come and
- 2:01:06Speaker 6: have too good of a time. But you gotta think, basketball,
- 2:01:09Speaker 6: two national championships, football, two national championships. That'll never happen
- 2:01:13Speaker 6: ever again in the history of sports. Literally, I lived
- 2:01:17Speaker 6: through four championships. Should have been five. All within four years.
- 2:01:22Speaker 6: The basketball, we was all tight knit. Like we used
- 2:01:24Speaker 6: to go hoop with them at Southwest Red. And guys,
- 2:01:28Speaker 6: we going at it. Because we had hoopers on our
- 2:01:30Speaker 6: team too. People could really get down. Like Percy could
- 2:01:32Speaker 6: have played in the NBA easily.
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: Leasing.
- 2:01:35Speaker 3: One of them.
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: Really?
- 2:01:36Speaker 3: What?
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: Real hoopers.
- 2:01:38Speaker 6: We had several people on our team could really get
- 2:01:40Speaker 6: out to it on the basketball court.
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: Where'd you rank?
- 2:01:43Speaker 3: Probably was four or five. Okay, you still starting?
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
- 2:01:47Speaker 3: They better.
- 2:01:47Speaker 6: They want a fucking general on the court. I'm going, hey,
- 2:01:51Speaker 6: then I'm going to have to mismatch because they're going
- 2:01:52Speaker 6: to put a big on me thing because I'm big
- 2:01:53Speaker 6: and I'm going to put that bitch on the floor
- 2:01:55Speaker 6: and go right past them. Or I might pull up
- 2:01:58Speaker 6: in there and shit. I was not saying I was
- 2:02:00Speaker 6: doing that to him, but that's the type of, you know,
- 2:02:01Speaker 6: my skill set. And I ain't, all my homies are
- 2:02:04Speaker 6: going to vouch for this. Like, I ain't just talking
- 2:02:06Speaker 6: out my ass. I really love basketball. I saw Big
- 2:02:08Speaker 6: Baby playing. I said, damn. I know I'm giving baby
- 2:02:12Speaker 6: 10 points. Baby, you should have been a tackle, dawg.
- 2:02:17Speaker 6: You'd have made 100 mil.
- 2:02:18Speaker 3: Like Trent Williams.
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: My dawg, out there still getting.
- 2:02:21Speaker 3: Hey, Trent's the GOAT.
- 2:02:22Speaker 6: The GOAT, but that's what baby was one of them
- 2:02:24Speaker 6: athletes like that. Imagine him, you know, he had twinkle toes,
- 2:02:27Speaker 6: real right on his feet, playing ball in the NBA.
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: Imagine what he looked like, the tackle.
- 2:02:31Speaker 3: Probably would have made more money though in the NBA.
- 2:02:34Speaker 3: But was he physical enough?
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: Yeah, true, true.
- 2:02:36Speaker 3: But that position they play, you made some good damn
- 2:02:38Speaker 3: money if you do it right.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:02:40Speaker 3: They let y'all hold and shit too.
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: I would go.
- 2:02:43Speaker 6: Try for center right now and hold the shit out
- 2:02:45Speaker 6: of people.
- 2:02:46Speaker 3: That player that had all that money in the back,
- 2:02:49Speaker 3: did he end up coming back?
- 2:02:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I know Klump can get back there working.
- 2:02:54Speaker 3: Yeah, Klump's going to figure out who it is.
- 2:02:55Speaker 6: He did end up coming back and I ain't saying
- 2:02:58Speaker 6: shit else about it.
- 2:02:58Speaker 3: That's all right. We'll figure the rest out.
- 2:03:01Speaker 8: Don't worry.
- 2:03:01Speaker 3: I ain't know nothing about nothing at the moment.
- 2:03:03Speaker 6: This is my first time really in Gainesville and I
- 2:03:07Speaker 6: go in to meet all these awesome players. some my
- 2:03:10Speaker 6: age and I knew this environment I want to be
- 2:03:13Speaker 6: in because they, they spoke the same language. I'm, I'm,
- 2:03:16Speaker 6: I'm an outsider come from this small town and I
- 2:03:18Speaker 6: come to Gainesville, which is, it ain't that big, but it's, it's,
- 2:03:22Speaker 6: you know, it's a smaller little community or whatever, but
- 2:03:24Speaker 6: it's all football. Everything runs and operates off the football team.
- 2:03:27Speaker 6: And I get there and it's just like my football
- 2:03:30Speaker 6: town at Crest high school, the people, the camaraderie, the, the, the, the, the, the,
- 2:03:36Speaker 6: the pride that, that, that, That culture, you don't.
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: Have a choice.
- 2:03:41Speaker 3: You sign your name on that line, get in line, buddy.
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: Get ready.
- 2:03:45Speaker 6: It's greatness. Expectation is there. You can't come play at
- 2:03:49Speaker 6: Florida and not want to be elite or be the best.
- 2:03:52Speaker 6: That's why I went to Florida. But once I saw
- 2:03:55Speaker 6: the culture and the players had this same, they was
- 2:03:57Speaker 6: all very driven and ambitious and wanted to be the
- 2:04:00Speaker 6: best they could be. A lot of people talk about
- 2:04:03Speaker 6: that shit. Yeah, I want to be good, but do you?
- 2:04:06Speaker 6: Do you really know what that takes? Do you? Like,
- 2:04:09Speaker 6: that's what I tell the guys when I talk to
- 2:04:11Speaker 6: recruits and I talk to our players. I'm like, tell
- 2:04:13Speaker 6: me what you want out of this. Do you want
- 2:04:15Speaker 6: to just, you know, take your NIL and stack that
- 2:04:17Speaker 6: up and get your degree? And you can do that.
- 2:04:21Speaker 6: You're very successful. You ain't got no debt.
- 2:04:23Speaker 3: You got a couple, you know, dollars, a couple zeros
- 2:04:26Speaker 3: in your account.
- 2:04:27Speaker 6: No bills. You can start a company, take a couple shots,
- 2:04:30Speaker 6: miss them. You know what I'm saying? You in a
- 2:04:32Speaker 6: good position.
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: But let's just.
- 2:04:33Speaker 6: Have a plan. Let's talk about it right now. Because
- 2:04:35Speaker 6: if you ain't ready to take it there, because I'm
- 2:04:37Speaker 6: telling you what it takes to be elite and what
- 2:04:38Speaker 6: it takes, the time, the discipline, the sacrifice to be
- 2:04:42Speaker 6: one of them, somebody that's remembered for life, because that's
- 2:04:45Speaker 6: what I wanted to do. Wherever I went, I wanted
- 2:04:46Speaker 6: to plant my flag. Like, oh, I was there, and
- 2:04:50Speaker 6: you will never forget. I think I did that in
- 2:04:53Speaker 6: New England. The way I left, people didn't like that,
- 2:04:55Speaker 6: but the way I played, they're like, hey, we fucked that.
- 2:04:59Speaker 6: I think they called me the Sandman. That was my nickname.
- 2:05:03Speaker 3: Just put people to sleep. You want to go night-night,
- 2:05:05Speaker 3: don't you? Learn about that in the intro. Hey, it's true.
- 2:05:07Speaker 6: That was like the nickname. But anyway, so boom.
- 2:05:11Speaker 3: How long had Urban been there at the time?
- 2:05:12Speaker 6: He had been there for a year. So it was
- 2:05:14Speaker 6: his first year, and we was his first class.
- 2:05:16Speaker 9: Okay.
- 2:05:16Speaker 3: He was in this first season.
- 2:05:17Speaker 6: He was always in this first season.
- 2:05:18Speaker 3: So you were part of the culture change. He started
- 2:05:19Speaker 3: off pretty good, too.
- 2:05:20Speaker 6: Yeah, I was part of the culture change or whatever
- 2:05:22Speaker 6: because I think Coach Zook was the coach that Urban
- 2:05:23Speaker 6: came into.
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: That's right.
- 2:05:24Speaker 6: He acquired a really good roster, too. A lot of
- 2:05:26Speaker 6: people don't talk about it. I tease him a lot
- 2:05:28Speaker 6: of times. He had some dogs when they had a
- 2:05:30Speaker 6: team because when they graduated, we graduated a a pretty
- 2:05:34Speaker 6: experienced team, like 26 to 27 seniors in the sophomore year,
- 2:05:37Speaker 6: all sophomore year. Again, like I told y'all in my
- 2:05:39Speaker 6: high school, it was my team now, especially defensively. All
- 2:05:44Speaker 6: the leaders gone, everybody at play. I'm about to do
- 2:05:47Speaker 6: what I got to do, you know, earn that role,
- 2:05:50Speaker 6: earn that title where I'm the guy we need to play.
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: Look to me to make it.
- 2:05:54Speaker 3: Oh, the game on the line?
- 2:05:55Speaker 6: Please come my way so I can make your ass pay.
- 2:05:57Speaker 6: You know, some of them dudes like, don't throw that
- 2:05:59Speaker 6: shit my way. Don't come my way, I hope they
- 2:06:01Speaker 6: don't come my way. You know some guys had that
- 2:06:03Speaker 6: in the back of mind. I hope they don't, man,
- 2:06:04Speaker 6: I hope they don't throw it at me. I live
- 2:06:06Speaker 6: for that shit. I live for the moment. And that's
- 2:06:09Speaker 6: why I was able to make big plays sometimes. Cause
- 2:06:11Speaker 6: I'm like, I've done this in my dream a hundred
- 2:06:13Speaker 6: times already. Like I was obsessed with the game, running
- 2:06:17Speaker 6: a four nine out that big. Make every play on
- 2:06:19Speaker 6: the field. That's why people, when they seen I ran slow,
- 2:06:21Speaker 6: they was like, what the?
- 2:06:22Speaker 3: I'm thinking you ain't take training serious. Bro, no, no, no, no.
- 2:06:26Speaker 6: I ain't gonna say.
- 2:06:27Speaker 3: When you ran five, I was upset. Hell no.
- 2:06:29Speaker 6: We didn't run 40s where I was from. We was
- 2:06:30Speaker 6: football players. The first time I ran a 40 was
- 2:06:33Speaker 6: that first off season. So going into my sophomore year, that's,
- 2:06:36Speaker 6: you know, people see your times and stuff. I had
- 2:06:38Speaker 6: never even ran a 40. I got down. I was like,
- 2:06:39Speaker 6: how you get down, man? Because I don't know if
- 2:06:42Speaker 6: a linebacker ran a motherfucking, chasing a motherfucking straight line,
- 2:06:45Speaker 6: he ain't do his job. I thought my job was
- 2:06:47Speaker 6: not to let these bitches get past me. I don't
- 2:06:49Speaker 6: got to open up if they can't get past me.
- 2:06:51Speaker 6: Come on now. I'll get you that way.
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: I'll get you that way. Where you going to go?
- 2:06:54Speaker 1: I'm on your ass.
- 2:06:55Speaker 6: But if you get past me and I'm chasing you,
- 2:06:57Speaker 6: I ain't doing my job.
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: Right or wrong?
- 2:06:59Speaker 6: Come on now.
- 2:06:59Speaker 3: No, you're right. No, no, no. You're right, but there's
- 2:07:02Speaker 3: also 11 guys and there's a lot of shit that
- 2:07:04Speaker 3: can go down. And you're trying to tell us you
- 2:07:05Speaker 3: didn't know how to run a 40?
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
- 2:07:08Speaker 6: My teammates, I'm telling you, they're going to get.
- 2:07:09Speaker 1: In the comments and he's like, he is not lying.
- 2:07:11Speaker 3: They were like, what? You looked a little out of
- 2:07:13Speaker 3: breath after the 42. Listen, listen. No, I trained. Hey,
- 2:07:17Speaker 3: pull up his 40.
- 2:07:21Speaker 6: You know what, it's time to face the motherfucking phone.
- 2:07:26Speaker 6: I'm finally ready to come to realization that I lost
- 2:07:29Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. I've never talked about none of this
- 2:07:32Speaker 6: stuff publicly because that shit, I still think about losing
- 2:07:34Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. I still think about losing my third
- 2:07:37Speaker 6: SEC championship. I know that sounds kind of fucked up.
- 2:07:41Speaker 3: No, it doesn't.
- 2:07:41Speaker 6: You got two, Spice.
- 2:07:42Speaker 3: Come on.
- 2:07:43Speaker 6: Let somebody else get something.
- 2:07:45Speaker 3: I didn't even sniff it. Was it your senior year
- 2:07:46Speaker 3: you lost the third one?
- 2:07:48Speaker 6: Yeah, the third. We won 23 or 24 in a row.
- 2:07:50Speaker 6: I hadn't lost a game in two years, damn near.
- 2:07:52Speaker 3: That was part of the fucking trivia question. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:07:56Speaker 4: Did you play with that? Was that DN on the roster?
- 2:07:58Speaker 4: I don't know if he maybe left for you. you
- 2:08:00Speaker 4: got there.
- 2:08:01Speaker 3: He had to. Jarvis Moss?
- 2:08:03Speaker 4: He was in that documentary called The Raging Bull. Came
- 2:08:06Speaker 4: from Miami Northwestern.
- 2:08:07Speaker 6: Oh, no, he was older than me.
- 2:08:09Speaker 3: That's T.
- 2:08:10Speaker 1: Diddy ass.
- 2:08:11Speaker 6: Nah, I ain't playing with him. He was supposed to
- 2:08:14Speaker 6: be the next big thing when that doc came out.
- 2:08:17Speaker 6: He couldn't cut it. T. Diddy, you know I fuck
- 2:08:19Speaker 6: with you, but I call it speedy speed. You ain't
- 2:08:22Speaker 6: got it, you ain't got it. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
- 2:08:24Speaker 6: He should have probably went to Valdosta State. They need
- 2:08:26Speaker 6: players too now. Valdosta, hey, they need players.
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong.
- 2:08:30Speaker 6: Hey, Valdosta, kick your ass. Troy, you want to play?
- 2:08:32Speaker 6: They got some dudes. But SEC just different, bro. People
- 2:08:37Speaker 6: always say, man, that shit overrated, isn't it? I'm telling you,
- 2:08:40Speaker 6: it's the closest thing to the NFL.
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: Why?
- 2:08:42Speaker 3: Because, for one, the money.
- 2:08:45Speaker 6: I didn't get the experiences like that, the way they experienced,
- 2:08:48Speaker 6: because I know I would have made NIL with Brandon
- 2:08:51Speaker 6: Sprites going for four years, three-time All-American, I had 100
- 2:08:56Speaker 6: tackles every year I started, over 100 tackles, six picks,
- 2:09:00Speaker 6: four for touchdowns, a couple of forced fumbles, a couple
- 2:09:03Speaker 6: of eye gouges, a couple of championships. I think I
- 2:09:07Speaker 6: would probably have made a whopping eight to 10 mil.
- 2:09:10Speaker 6: In four years? Because you know what? You know what
- 2:09:12Speaker 6: I would have did, though? I would have hit him
- 2:09:13Speaker 6: with this. After that second, third year, I would have
- 2:09:15Speaker 6: got my little money. I would have, hey, I'll come back.
- 2:09:17Speaker 6: Y'all buy me two houses on University. And let me
- 2:09:21Speaker 6: get them. Let me buy those, put them in my name,
- 2:09:23Speaker 6: and I'll be back. And I'm going to convince Percy
- 2:09:24Speaker 6: to come back, too. Because if Percy come back, we
- 2:09:26Speaker 6: win with a breeze. Both of them, SEC championship, AFC championship,
- 2:09:32Speaker 6: Percy Harvin come back and not enter the league, which
- 2:09:34Speaker 6: that broke my heart. I love Peter Dell, but that
- 2:09:37Speaker 6: shit broke my heart because we took a pat, like
- 2:09:40Speaker 6: a blood bond, you know, as 06. That's how tight
- 2:09:42Speaker 6: we was.
- 2:09:43Speaker 3: We came in this motherfucker together. We're going to leave together.
- 2:09:45Speaker 6: Then we had a chance to do something nobody had done,
- 2:09:48Speaker 6: I think, before Saban did it, winning three out of four.
- 2:09:51Speaker 6: We could have done that shit. We was this close
- 2:09:52Speaker 6: to doing that shit, literally. And that whole season was
- 2:09:55Speaker 6: crazy because you do get numb to winning. Like I've
- 2:09:59Speaker 6: always liked the target on my back.
- 2:10:00Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie.
- 2:10:00Speaker 6: Like, you know, you think you want the big dog?
- 2:10:03Speaker 6: Come on, let's see what you got. You know what
- 2:10:05Speaker 6: I'm saying? But it just felt good to see Saban
- 2:10:07Speaker 6: say that. Cause I would look at Mickey Marotti. He up,
- 2:10:10Speaker 6: you know, shout out to Ricky. He do real, real
- 2:10:12Speaker 6: glue eye shit. He up at Ohio State now. Why
- 2:10:14Speaker 6: Jeremiah Smith is what he is. He's a generational talent, right?
- 2:10:19Speaker 6: But when you add Mickey Marotti in the equation, Cause he,
- 2:10:24Speaker 6: you was right.
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: I hated training.
- 2:10:26Speaker 3: I was a Hooper.
- 2:10:26Speaker 6: I had a Hooper mentality. I was still physical and aggressive,
- 2:10:29Speaker 6: but I was off.
- 2:10:30Speaker 3: I ain't living no goddamn way.
- 2:10:31Speaker 6: Especially when I'm dominating shit. Like you, I saw you
- 2:10:34Speaker 6: squat 600 pounds and I just literally, I ran through
- 2:10:37Speaker 6: your face. I spent on you. I dipped and ripped
- 2:10:40Speaker 6: on you. You can't do nothing.
- 2:10:41Speaker 3: I got the offer. And I got a whole bag
- 2:10:43Speaker 3: of tricks, but my number one trick is to run
- 2:10:47Speaker 3: through your fucking face.
- 2:10:48Speaker 6: Just, just for the hell of it. Just, oh, you
- 2:10:50Speaker 6: the bad motherfucker on the team. Let me take his wheel.
- 2:10:53Speaker 6: You know how Troy, he step out there. They're like,
- 2:10:58Speaker 6: the big motherfucker out there looking like, who you got
- 2:11:00Speaker 6: for me?
- 2:11:01Speaker 4: One-on-one.
- 2:11:02Speaker 6: Go get him.
- 2:11:03Speaker 3: He come up there. And little boy say, what, you
- 2:11:05Speaker 3: gonna fight him? What'd he say? That's why ain't nobody
- 2:11:08Speaker 3: gonna remember your name, son. That shit cold. Hey, that
- 2:11:11Speaker 3: shit cold. That shit cold as fuck. Hey-ya!
- 2:11:15Speaker 6: I'm a movie buff if you haven't noticed, guys.
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 2:11:18Speaker 3: That scene is insane. That scene is wild, yes. You
- 2:11:21Speaker 3: look at that shit and say, That's why.
- 2:11:23Speaker 6: Ain't nobody going to remember your name. The kids, they
- 2:11:25Speaker 6: be like, damn, Coach, we in Japan. People recognize you.
- 2:11:28Speaker 6: It's not just the face.
- 2:11:30Speaker 3: It's the way I play. I literally was game all
- 2:11:33Speaker 3: my life. I love that shit that much. And it's
- 2:11:34Speaker 3: fucked up.
- 2:11:36Speaker 6: I think I'm brainwashed or some shit. That's why when
- 2:11:39Speaker 6: I went to New England, I fit right in. Motherfucker
- 2:11:43Speaker 6: got A.
- 2:11:45Speaker 3: Brainwashed. Literally. I started out in psychology. I ain't going
- 2:11:51Speaker 3: to say I majored. They kicked me the fuck out
- 2:11:53Speaker 3: of that.
- 2:11:54Speaker 6: It was a standard. You got to keep a certain GPA.
- 2:11:57Speaker 6: But I know about the game, the mind games. Football
- 2:12:01Speaker 6: is still 80% mental. That'll never change. You know what
- 2:12:04Speaker 6: I'm saying? Y'all remember the conditioning test? Motherfuckers done trained
- 2:12:08Speaker 6: all season for that. All season. Go out there and fail.
- 2:12:10Speaker 6: I'm talking about night shape. This and that. They mental
- 2:12:13Speaker 6: ain't right.
- 2:12:14Speaker 3: You know?
- 2:12:15Speaker 6: Anxiousness, you know, all the coaches sitting out there watching.
- 2:12:18Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? Or have you been doing
- 2:12:20Speaker 6: what you're supposed to do on the off season?
- 2:12:22Speaker 3: Bill, ask me that. Ask me that.
- 2:12:24Speaker 1: You, Bill, ask me.
- 2:12:25Speaker 3: Have you been doing what you need to do this
- 2:12:26Speaker 3: off season?
- 2:12:27Speaker 6: Lockout coach? Absolutely not. I spent 30 days in Vegas.
- 2:12:32Speaker 6: 30 days watched every show they had off.
- 2:12:36Speaker 3: Every last one of them.
- 2:12:39Speaker 6: I turned 21 and I went to Vegas and they
- 2:12:42Speaker 6: locked it out. And I went there for Memorial Weekend
- 2:12:46Speaker 6: and ended up staying a whole month.
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: A whole month?
- 2:12:49Speaker 6: Bro, I had just turned 21. I turned 21. That's
- 2:12:53Speaker 6: when the lockout year.
- 2:12:54Speaker 4: So it's fair to assume he didn't take the training
- 2:12:55Speaker 4: serious for the 40.
- 2:12:56Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 2:12:57Speaker 6: That's where I was getting at it.
- 2:12:58Speaker 3: He's right.
- 2:12:58Speaker 6: But no, when I met Mickey Mirati, though, I didn't
- 2:13:01Speaker 6: have a choice. Like my rookie year, sorry, my freshman year,
- 2:13:04Speaker 6: I had never really trained like that. And we ran
- 2:13:06Speaker 6: a tight-knit program in high school. I just was a hoop.
- 2:13:08Speaker 6: I used to be shooting for dollars and a P
- 2:13:10Speaker 6: while I was supposed to be with different weights and
- 2:13:11Speaker 6: weight training. I just was like, come on.
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: Yeah, back then you couldn't go out. Right now, NIL,
- 2:13:16Speaker 3: in May, they can go out and do whatever they
- 2:13:17Speaker 3: want for a month.
- 2:13:18Speaker 6: No, we had one of them type programs now, but
- 2:13:20Speaker 6: I was.
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: A multi-sport player.
- 2:13:22Speaker 3: They said you could leave in Florida?
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: What you mean?
- 2:13:25Speaker 3: When you went to Florida, it was training. Oh, hell yeah.
- 2:13:28Speaker 6: Oh, hell no, you couldn't leave. No, you couldn't leave.
- 2:13:30Speaker 3: You get one week off every quarter.
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
- 2:13:32Speaker 3: That was good for us because we would have gotten
- 2:13:34Speaker 3: into some shit. Yeah. No doubt.
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: I never did. That roster?
- 2:13:37Speaker 6: You know what I'm talking about? My record is clean.
- 2:13:39Speaker 6: Never been in no hiccups. Don't have a record. And
- 2:13:41Speaker 6: I'm proud to say that.
- 2:13:42Speaker 3: Hell yeah, dude.
- 2:13:43Speaker 6: Because I was in the locker room with some real,
- 2:13:45Speaker 6: real deal Holyfields. And I love Herb because he made
- 2:13:51Speaker 6: it all work. All these personalities, all these different egos
- 2:13:54Speaker 6: in his shit.
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:13:56Speaker 6: A whole lot of good energy, a lot of masculine energy,
- 2:13:59Speaker 6: a lot of alphas in there, but What's an alpha
- 2:14:03Speaker 6: amongst the rest of the alphas?
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: What is he?
- 2:14:06Speaker 3: Apex.
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: Apex.
- 2:14:07Speaker 3: That is. And what's an apex? Y'all know what I'm getting?
- 2:14:10Speaker 6: That great white shark. Great white shark. And he by himself.
- 2:14:14Speaker 6: I like the killer whales. I like them.
- 2:14:16Speaker 3: But they roam in schools. Killer whale would murder a
- 2:14:20Speaker 3: great white.
- 2:14:20Speaker 6: Hold on, because he's going to have a school. He's
- 2:14:22Speaker 6: going to have some help, some backup will. He don't
- 2:14:24Speaker 6: need no help to take down a great white. But
- 2:14:25Speaker 6: he ain't solo out there. He ain't solo out there.
- 2:14:27Speaker 6: They in schools.
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: Look it up.
- 2:14:28Speaker 6: Now, we can talk about this.
- 2:14:30Speaker 3: You need to dive in a little bit deeper.
- 2:14:32Speaker 1: Bro, show me a whale. Show a whale that's fucking
- 2:14:35Speaker 1: up a great white.
- 2:14:35Speaker 3: He would be on the orca whale. He would be
- 2:14:37Speaker 3: in his pockets, like, I'm an orca whale. Wait, no,
- 2:14:39Speaker 3: I see. That's what I see. You are an orca whale.
- 2:14:43Speaker 3: Now I am.
- 2:14:43Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:14:45Speaker 3: Because the whole thing you've been talking about this whole
- 2:14:47Speaker 3: time is like community, team. I need somebody to tell
- 2:14:50Speaker 3: me that they have my back. That's all orcas are about.
- 2:14:52Speaker 3: It is.
- 2:14:53Speaker 6: The gorilla population, same thing. This bond is connected.
- 2:14:56Speaker 3: This sense of....
- 2:15:00Speaker 1: Togetherness.
- 2:15:01Speaker 6: You know when they, what's the reason why I don't
- 2:15:03Speaker 6: fuck with whales and I need to fuck with them more? Sorry,
- 2:15:07Speaker 6: killer whales. But reason why I don't, because what's the documentary, man?
- 2:15:10Speaker 3: Blackfish.
- 2:15:11Speaker 6: Man, that shit broke my heart, bro.
- 2:15:13Speaker 3: I can't, bro.
- 2:15:15Speaker 6: That shit made me cry. I'm a grown-ass man. That
- 2:15:17Speaker 6: shit grabbed me, bro, because I love animals, you know
- 2:15:19Speaker 6: what I'm saying? Like, I don't trust people that don't
- 2:15:21Speaker 6: got pets. So any of you motherfuckers on the bus
- 2:15:23Speaker 6: that ain't got no pets, I'ma sense it. I got
- 2:15:25Speaker 6: a sixth sense. That's why I ain't like Ray Rice's
- 2:15:28Speaker 6: little ass. I used to be out there trying to
- 2:15:29Speaker 6: kill his little ass. Cause I knew he was putting
- 2:15:31Speaker 6: his hand on women.
- 2:15:34Speaker 3: Dog, I'm a dog.
- 2:15:35Speaker 6: You know, dogs come around somebody fucked up. They, he
- 2:15:38Speaker 6: don't fucking know goddamn body. I knew. Cause I ain't,
- 2:15:41Speaker 6: I supposed to kill him. He was like, come on now.
- 2:15:43Speaker 6: I ain't get hyped to.
- 2:15:44Speaker 3: Play against him. Bill, I supposed to kill him.
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: Like he run hard.
- 2:15:49Speaker 6: He wouldn't have no disrespect, but this is what.
- 2:15:52Speaker 3: I'm here to do. This is my motherfucking job. You
- 2:15:53Speaker 3: ain't getting no rest.
- 2:15:54Speaker 6: All that shit you was doing is over now.
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: I'm here.
- 2:15:57Speaker 6: And Bill drafted me just to stop your ass. All
- 2:16:00Speaker 6: of that running shit they were doing in that conference
- 2:16:02Speaker 6: during that time. Bill personally said, hey, stop all of it.
- 2:16:07Speaker 6: And we can go to the Super Bowl. And guess
- 2:16:09Speaker 6: what we did?
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: Stop it.
- 2:16:11Speaker 3: Easy too.
- 2:16:11Speaker 6: I said, this shit easy, man. I ain't even really
- 2:16:13Speaker 6: serious about this shit. I ain't no professional yet. I
- 2:16:17Speaker 6: was never professional.
- 2:16:19Speaker 3: Hey, how soon after that unofficial visit did you commit
- 2:16:22Speaker 3: to Florida?
- 2:16:22Speaker 1: So, boom.
- 2:16:23Speaker 3: So, no, no, no.
- 2:16:24Speaker 1: So, boom.
- 2:16:25Speaker 6: I go back, you know. I'm like, damn, that was special.
- 2:16:28Speaker 1: That was cool.
- 2:16:28Speaker 6: I knew I had to get to work, though, because
- 2:16:30Speaker 6: I seen, you know, what I was against. And I
- 2:16:31Speaker 6: didn't give a, I wasn't looking at the roster like, oh,
- 2:16:33Speaker 6: they got a sophomore. You know, some people are like, oh,
- 2:16:35Speaker 6: they got a sophomore, red shirt. Just give a fuck
- 2:16:38Speaker 6: who they are. Whoever it is, I'm going to go
- 2:16:39Speaker 6: earn my keep. I'm going to go get what I
- 2:16:41Speaker 6: deserve and make my way. Don't give me shit because
- 2:16:44Speaker 6: it don't mean the same when somebody just gives you
- 2:16:46Speaker 6: some shit. Let me earn it and gain the respect
- 2:16:49Speaker 6: of my teammates. And they're like, hey, because it started
- 2:16:51Speaker 6: to happen during the season when I was a freshman
- 2:16:53Speaker 6: because I'm smoking their ass again on offense. That's the star.
- 2:16:56Speaker 6: That's Chris Lee.
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: All of them.
- 2:16:57Speaker 6: I'm killing their ass. I'm literally killing them. And I
- 2:17:01Speaker 6: ain't even sniff the field.
- 2:17:03Speaker 3: God damn. Car wheels on my pants. Nothing.
- 2:17:06Speaker 6: My uniform clean as hell, bro. I'm out there cheering.
- 2:17:10Speaker 1: Hey, good job.
- 2:17:10Speaker 6: Because freshmen, you know we all talking shit. What we
- 2:17:13Speaker 6: going to do when we come in? Brandon James crushing it.
- 2:17:16Speaker 6: Tim Tebow crushing it. Percy Harvey. All my freshman homies
- 2:17:19Speaker 6: did exactly what they did. But guess where I was at?
- 2:17:21Speaker 6: Over there rooting with a splinter in my ass. But
- 2:17:23Speaker 6: I did my job. And I was proud of whatever
- 2:17:25Speaker 6: it was. But I said, if they ever call my
- 2:17:27Speaker 6: number and say, Spikes, you in, you might not get
- 2:17:31Speaker 6: your job back. And that's what they knew, right? I
- 2:17:33Speaker 6: think my very first player in college in the Swamp,
- 2:17:35Speaker 6: I made the tackle for loss. And it was against,
- 2:17:37Speaker 6: I think his name was Kenny Smith. He may be
- 2:17:39Speaker 6: a coach now. He played for UCF, USF, he was
- 2:17:42Speaker 6: a running back. Played for Detroit Lions for a long time. Smith,
- 2:17:45Speaker 6: y'all young though, y'all ain't young. Yeah, he was a
- 2:17:48Speaker 6: hell of a player, but I tackle him for loss.
- 2:17:50Speaker 6: I think Brandon Sala, hell man. And let's talk about
- 2:17:52Speaker 6: that shit, too, because Netflix act like he passed me
- 2:17:55Speaker 6: the keys and shit. I was him as soon as
- 2:17:58Speaker 6: I stepped in Gaines, Vegas.
- 2:18:00Speaker 1: I was ready.
- 2:18:00Speaker 6: Urban had convinced everybody that I wasn't invested yet.
- 2:18:03Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:18:04Speaker 6: He just wanted me to... You know what I'm saying?
- 2:18:06Speaker 6: I talked a lot, too, but... I talk like that
- 2:18:09Speaker 6: because I don't talk so much shit. I got to
- 2:18:10Speaker 6: go back it up now. So I'm like, I'm going
- 2:18:12Speaker 6: to bust your ass and go out there and get smoked.
- 2:18:14Speaker 6: They're going to be like, man, shut your ass up. Spike,
- 2:18:16Speaker 6: you ain't hitting on shit. Oh, Wolf, you just talking smoke.
- 2:18:19Speaker 6: You ain't shit.
- 2:18:20Speaker 3: Nope.
- 2:18:20Speaker 6: I'll talk that shit and go be about that shit.
- 2:18:23Speaker 6: And every team I ever played for, all on my team.
- 2:18:25Speaker 6: I usually knock people out. My teammates look at me like, hey,
- 2:18:28Speaker 6: you all right? Because I go to this place. They
- 2:18:30Speaker 6: can see it in my eyes.
- 2:18:31Speaker 3: They're like.
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: Man.
- 2:18:33Speaker 6: Imagine somebody telling you I'm going to knock your ass out.
- 2:18:36Speaker 6: Then I'd go put you to sleep. You done for
- 2:18:38Speaker 6: the day. You had about 30 more plays on that
- 2:18:41Speaker 6: motherfucking call sheet. He's done.
- 2:18:45Speaker 3: Change of plans. Oh, look at that foot. Oh, hell nah.
- 2:18:50Speaker 6: Look at how handsome right there too. Damn, look how
- 2:18:53Speaker 6: skinny I was.
- 2:18:53Speaker 3: Look at me. Hey, and I felt like I was
- 2:18:56Speaker 3: running by. I thought I was 4'5, 4'6. Nah, I
- 2:18:59Speaker 3: thought I was about 4'6.
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
- 2:19:01Speaker 6: That motherfucker felt like forever. You know how, look at
- 2:19:03Speaker 6: that stand.
- 2:19:04Speaker 4: Ugh.
- 2:19:05Speaker 1: That 10 was straight though.
- 2:19:06Speaker 3: Yeah, 10 was fine. Hey, I couldn't get that bitch
- 2:19:09Speaker 3: out of neutral though. Hey, look. You know how that
- 2:19:13Speaker 3: ball on the movies.
- 2:19:14Speaker 6: Yeah, I probably don't know.
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: I keep going.
- 2:19:16Speaker 6: That ball bouncing around in a slow motion.
- 2:19:19Speaker 3: It's like, it's got to go in you. Was that
- 2:19:20Speaker 3: High School Musical? Yeah, like one of them.
- 2:19:22Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:19:23Speaker 1: Okay, now we talking. Oh shit, I was joking. But
- 2:19:26Speaker 1: it's one of them.
- 2:19:27Speaker 3: That's how it was when I was running through that
- 2:19:28Speaker 3: motherfucking line.
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: Hoosiers?
- 2:19:30Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm running through that line.
- 2:19:31Speaker 3: I'm like, it's taking a long time.
- 2:19:34Speaker 6: And Pro Day was like a game.
- 2:19:38Speaker 3: That motherfucker was packed the whole, all the big time.
- 2:19:40Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you see it in that video.
- 2:19:41Speaker 6: I think Ozzy, and that's what got me, dog, because
- 2:19:42Speaker 6: they tricked me. I ain't going to create Madison. He
- 2:19:45Speaker 6: treated me, he was a Michigan defense coordinator, but he
- 2:19:47Speaker 6: was a defense coordinator. I trusted him because he helped
- 2:19:49Speaker 6: recruit me and stuff.
- 2:19:50Speaker 1: I love Greg.
- 2:19:50Speaker 3: Greg Madison's the man. He was my DC.
- 2:19:52Speaker 6: So you know what you're talking about.
- 2:19:53Speaker 1: Good dude. Love him to death.
- 2:19:54Speaker 6: So he was a DC at the Baltimore Ravens and
- 2:19:57Speaker 6: he was on the end when Ray Luz was on
- 2:19:59Speaker 6: his way out. So Izy come down. I didn't do
- 2:20:03Speaker 6: nothing at the combine. And I damn sure wasn't finna
- 2:20:05Speaker 6: do nothing at the pro day. I was just going
- 2:20:07Speaker 6: to do interviews, talk my shit. I might've gave him
- 2:20:09Speaker 6: a little drift.
- 2:20:09Speaker 3: But for what?
- 2:20:10Speaker 6: I'm a number one linebacker both years in a row.
- 2:20:12Speaker 6: Number one junior year, number one second year. Normally you
- 2:20:14Speaker 6: drop when you come back your senior year. I was
- 2:20:16Speaker 6: a number one backer both years. Like first thing off
- 2:20:19Speaker 6: the board. I be damned. Soon as I came through
- 2:20:21Speaker 6: that line, broski, I felt a come out the stadium.
- 2:20:25Speaker 6: Everybody was, everybody, just that same reaction you had. Imagine
- 2:20:29Speaker 6: about 40,000 like that. I felt it too.
- 2:20:32Speaker 3: I said, oh, Good. So why'd you run?
- 2:20:37Speaker 6: Because Greg, he was like, listen, Ozzy down here, they
- 2:20:40Speaker 6: done came down here. You didn't do nothing at the combine.
- 2:20:42Speaker 6: You're the next Ray.
- 2:20:44Speaker 3: You plug and play. He retired.
- 2:20:45Speaker 6: It's going to be your defense. Same passion, same energy,
- 2:20:49Speaker 6: same presence. We want you to come in and just
- 2:20:51Speaker 6: pick up where, you know, when he leave. That's what
- 2:20:53Speaker 6: they was wanting. They done talked me into that, talked
- 2:20:56Speaker 6: my age. Grant, I ain't done shit the whole time.
- 2:20:58Speaker 1: What for?
- 2:20:58Speaker 6: Turn on the tape.
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: I got four years, look at my body of work.
- 2:21:01Speaker 3: You didn't train for a combat?
- 2:21:03Speaker 6: No, I trained, but I didn't have to do any
- 2:21:04Speaker 6: of the drills, for one. You know what I'm saying?
- 2:21:06Speaker 6: I'm number one, junior and senior. I got plenty of championships.
- 2:21:11Speaker 3: How'd they talk your agent into allowing you to run?
- 2:21:13Speaker 6: He was young, young agent, first agent. And I'm a guy,
- 2:21:16Speaker 6: I'm a lawyer guy. I have been rocking with him
- 2:21:18Speaker 6: since I was.
- 2:21:20Speaker 3: Yeah, since high, yeah.
- 2:21:21Speaker 6: And I couldn't do nobody like that, because I know
- 2:21:23Speaker 6: people would kill your ass for 10 grand.
- 2:21:25Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:21:26Speaker 6: Ain't no way I can sleep at night knowing I
- 2:21:28Speaker 6: done did somebody wrong. You know what I'm saying? That
- 2:21:30Speaker 6: ain't just how I was raised. For one, it ain't right.
- 2:21:32Speaker 3: And for two, I ain't gonna be able to look
- 2:21:34Speaker 3: at the man in the mirror and be like, oh,
- 2:21:36Speaker 3: I got over on that guy. You know what I'm saying?
- 2:21:38Speaker 6: I ain't built like that. Money ain't everything for me.
- 2:21:40Speaker 6: Like I told you, I played the game for free
- 2:21:43Speaker 6: and got hurt whatever. I enjoyed ball that much. You
- 2:21:47Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? But to be down there, And
- 2:21:53Speaker 6: Florida experienced that. And I always, it was just exactly
- 2:21:57Speaker 6: what I thought it would be. Like, if you talk
- 2:21:58Speaker 6: to some of my high school teammates, everything I'd done,
- 2:22:01Speaker 6: accomplished in high school, in college, I talked about it
- 2:22:04Speaker 6: when we was in middle school. They would call me
- 2:22:06Speaker 6: the prophet. They'd be like, B, everything you ever accomplished,
- 2:22:10Speaker 6: you talked about that shit. We wasn't even talking about
- 2:22:12Speaker 6: the Army All-American game. I said, hey, we didn't even
- 2:22:15Speaker 6: have cable TV.
- 2:22:16Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that shit was on ABC
- 2:22:18Speaker 3: or something. It came on regular TV. I said, oh,
- 2:22:19Speaker 3: I'm going to be in that game one day. I'm
- 2:22:22Speaker 3: going to be in that game one day. In it.
- 2:22:25Speaker 6: I'm going to win a couple of national championships too.
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: Win a couple.
- 2:22:28Speaker 6: And I'm going to win a fucking Super Bowl. And
- 2:22:30Speaker 6: that's the one thing I can't, you know. 2012 was
- 2:22:33Speaker 6: in the Super Bowl. I had my best game while
- 2:22:36Speaker 6: in the NFL. In the Super Bowl. Like, I'll never
- 2:22:39Speaker 6: forget Bill leading up to that. You know, it's a
- 2:22:41Speaker 6: long way, you know. I don't know if y'all know. Sorry,
- 2:22:44Speaker 6: I ain't trying to be.
- 2:22:44Speaker 3: 2012, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
- 2:22:46Speaker 6: But yeah, you know, you use a lot of practice
- 2:22:48Speaker 6: and stuff. So I think one week I was probably
- 2:22:49Speaker 6: like a pound overweight. Two pounds of weight, long time,
- 2:22:52Speaker 6: get cold in New England, you don't sweat the same
- 2:22:54Speaker 6: when it get negative 10 degrees out there mama. But anyway,
- 2:22:58Speaker 6: he bring me in the office like, you weighed in,
- 2:23:01Speaker 6: you're overweight. I said, Cole, I got in the sun,
- 2:23:05Speaker 6: y'all got my weight too. He said, I don't wanna
- 2:23:07Speaker 6: hear any excuses. Why weren't you the best linebacker in
- 2:23:09Speaker 6: the NFL, Spike?
- 2:23:11Speaker 1: I said, whoa.
- 2:23:13Speaker 6: In my head, I'm like, man, things too high on me.
- 2:23:15Speaker 6: I just like the game. It's a child's game. We
- 2:23:17Speaker 6: get a king's ransom. It's the same game I play.
- 2:23:20Speaker 6: I only play because I can insult a man and
- 2:23:22Speaker 6: not get a charge.
- 2:23:24Speaker 3: It's kind of fun.
- 2:23:25Speaker 1: But that's it.
- 2:23:26Speaker 6: I only play for the wins and just enjoy me.
- 2:23:29Speaker 6: It's a child's game. Nothing more, nothing less. When that
- 2:23:31Speaker 6: shit become a job to me, I'm going to walk
- 2:23:33Speaker 6: away from that shit. Because I never looked at the
- 2:23:35Speaker 6: clock when I'm watching film. I get lost in it.
- 2:23:37Speaker 6: I was upset. Just one of them motherfuckers like that.
- 2:23:41Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up. This is my defense.
- 2:23:43Speaker 3: I caught it. Coach called it. I knew the situation.
- 2:23:46Speaker 6: Did he say anything? I got us out the down, dude. Like,
- 2:23:49Speaker 6: I got off on that because I felt like that
- 2:23:51Speaker 6: was my job.
- 2:23:52Speaker 1: Like, I had to.
- 2:23:53Speaker 6: If, you know, the mic go out, I got to
- 2:23:55Speaker 6: motherfucking conduct the troops. Get us out the call. Get
- 2:23:58Speaker 6: us out the down. Like, I felt the obligation when
- 2:24:01Speaker 6: you get that dot. It ain't just about you. You
- 2:24:05Speaker 6: got to get the rest of these slapdicks lined up.
- 2:24:07Speaker 6: You know how they, you know them D-line. I'm going
- 2:24:09Speaker 6: to get locked in. It's like, damn, man.
- 2:24:13Speaker 3: Coach, just keep that shit simple.
- 2:24:15Speaker 1: Because he, you know, come on.
- 2:24:18Speaker 3: When you were at Florida.
- 2:24:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:24:20Speaker 3: What year? Cam Newton was with you for one year?
- 2:24:22Speaker 6: So Cam was with, no, Cam was with us for
- 2:24:25Speaker 6: like three, I feel like three years.
- 2:24:27Speaker 3: Three years? And then he went to Juco.
- 2:24:28Speaker 6: So Cam came in. I honestly think their class was
- 2:24:32Speaker 6: better than our class, that 07 class. Because out of
- 2:24:35Speaker 6: my class, we got four Hall of Famers. Brandon James,
- 2:24:38Speaker 6: Percy Harvin, Tim Tebow. and some psychopath named Brandon Virgil Spikes.
- 2:24:45Speaker 6: We all in the UF Athletic Hall of Fame, all
- 2:24:47Speaker 6: in one class. That's crazy. We all already in there, motherfucker.
- 2:24:53Speaker 6: Some people get in when they're 50, 60, 70, you
- 2:24:55Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? We in there, motherfucker. Then you
- 2:24:57Speaker 6: think about that next class. You got Joe Hayden. You
- 2:25:00Speaker 6: got Major Wright. You got Ahmaud Black. You got Aaron Hernandez.
- 2:25:04Speaker 6: You got Cam Newton. You got the Pouncey Twins. You
- 2:25:07Speaker 6: got Marcus Gilbert.
- 2:25:08Speaker 1: Damn.
- 2:25:09Speaker 6: You got Janoris Jenkins. You got, like, literally, I didn't
- 2:25:14Speaker 6: have to, you know, you got Carlos Dunlap.
- 2:25:17Speaker 1: Literally.
- 2:25:17Speaker 6: And some say if he play in that SEC championship,
- 2:25:20Speaker 6: we win, too, without Percy. Because we beat them the
- 2:25:22Speaker 6: first time without Pete, which I didn't like, but we won.
- 2:25:25Speaker 6: I couldn't believe we could win a game without Pete
- 2:25:27Speaker 6: because he's the best player I've ever played with by far.
- 2:25:29Speaker 6: None of this shit happened. They might win some games
- 2:25:31Speaker 6: without Brandon Virgil Spice. We don't do none of that
- 2:25:34Speaker 6: shit without Percy Harvin. And I go to my grave
- 2:25:36Speaker 6: believing that shit.
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: Real talk.
- 2:25:38Speaker 3: What was the situation with Cam? He stole a computer?
- 2:25:41Speaker 3: I guess.
- 2:25:42Speaker 6: I don't know about all of it.
- 2:25:43Speaker 2: Did he?
- 2:25:43Speaker 1: Nah, I think he did.
- 2:25:45Speaker 6: He did.
- 2:25:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:25:47Speaker 3: I don't know though. But hey, the reason why I
- 2:25:49Speaker 3: asked that question is all this stuff, you get in
- 2:25:51Speaker 3: the car, there's a bunch of money in the back,
- 2:25:53Speaker 3: Urban Meyer, there's a lot of gray area.
- 2:25:57Speaker 6: At the University of Florida.
- 2:25:58Speaker 3: But it's just a computer. So why is Cam getting
- 2:26:00Speaker 3: kicked out for a computer?
- 2:26:01Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if he got, I don't think
- 2:26:03Speaker 6: that was like his first offense. I believe in first,
- 2:26:06Speaker 6: I believe in first and second chances. But third and fourth,
- 2:26:09Speaker 6: I don't know what, I told you, you got to
- 2:26:11Speaker 6: conduct yourself a certain way playing quarterback at the University
- 2:26:13Speaker 6: of Florida. That's why I would never go to that
- 2:26:15Speaker 6: position because- It's too much pressure. You can't really make mistakes.
- 2:26:19Speaker 6: You gotta be damn near perfect. Like literally.
- 2:26:22Speaker 1: We win.
- 2:26:22Speaker 6: Then you got Tim Tebow. He ain't thinking about being
- 2:26:26Speaker 6: with us partying or chasing no girls. He in his Bible.
- 2:26:29Speaker 6: He in his playbook.
- 2:26:30Speaker 1: He handling his books.
- 2:26:31Speaker 6: And he all football. Eat, sleep, and shit football. That's
- 2:26:34Speaker 6: what we was. I like to add a little. partying
- 2:26:37Speaker 6: there for me though. I like to have a good
- 2:26:38Speaker 6: time and enjoy. Like I said, I had a brother.
- 2:26:40Speaker 6: You take all those things and add just a little
- 2:26:41Speaker 6: bit of partying. It's Gainesville Vegas for a reason. Yeah, absolutely.
- 2:26:44Speaker 6: Like if you can burn it on both ends, why not?
- 2:26:46Speaker 6: I burned the count now. Like same way I felt
- 2:26:49Speaker 6: like I was a rock star doing it on the end.
- 2:26:51Speaker 6: I would come in there and work my ass off
- 2:26:52Speaker 6: the same way. Cause I couldn't do it to the game.
- 2:26:54Speaker 6: I could not, you know, disrespect the game. Cause it
- 2:26:57Speaker 6: did so much to me. I'm like, I ain't finna
- 2:26:59Speaker 6: come in here and bullshit. Cheat a couple of reps.
- 2:27:01Speaker 6: That young Brandon Virgil Spice now, he wasn't Alva Mac
- 2:27:03Speaker 6: yet when I first in him. Like that first year,
- 2:27:05Speaker 6: that strip conditioning shit was some of the hardest shit
- 2:27:08Speaker 6: I've done in my life. Mickey Marotti.
- 2:27:11Speaker 3: But guess what? He turned me into a fucking beast.
- 2:27:13Speaker 6: When I finally embraced it and accepted the process and
- 2:27:17Speaker 6: got into it, Motherfucker turned me into a psycho. Literally,
- 2:27:21Speaker 6: they called me the predator. I was on a whole
- 2:27:23Speaker 6: nother level. I felt invincible. Once I started training and shit,
- 2:27:26Speaker 6: I knew I was good just because nobody could match
- 2:27:28Speaker 6: my intensity. I just knew right there. They could match
- 2:27:31Speaker 6: in the first couple of plays, but they couldn't maintain
- 2:27:33Speaker 6: it throughout the game. I was on full go, four quarters.
- 2:27:38Speaker 6: From one month, so I walk out, out there, once
- 2:27:40Speaker 6: I put on that uniform, wolfing. Referee like, shut up.
- 2:27:45Speaker 6: I'm like, hey, do your fucking job, Zebra. This ain't
- 2:27:47Speaker 6: no fucking elementary school, middle school. I'm going to swear
- 2:27:49Speaker 6: out here, sir.
- 2:27:50Speaker 3: No disrespect. Get the car all right. You talking to
- 2:27:52Speaker 3: a grown ass man? What you talking about?
- 2:27:54Speaker 1: No, Carson. What?
- 2:27:56Speaker 6: What is this a no fun league for real?
- 2:27:58Speaker 1: What do you mean?
- 2:27:58Speaker 6: You just told me not to swear at this ground, man.
- 2:28:00Speaker 6: What you talking about?
- 2:28:01Speaker 4: What was it like for you watching that 30 for 30?
- 2:28:03Speaker 4: I want to say you alluded to it earlier about
- 2:28:06Speaker 4: when he was passing the keys to you, that linebacker.
- 2:28:08Speaker 4: Is that what you were talking about?
- 2:28:10Speaker 1: The documentary, the swamp?
- 2:28:11Speaker 3: First off, the thing that's fucked up about that documentary
- 2:28:13Speaker 3: is they did it in like what, a 30 minute episode?
- 2:28:15Speaker 3: That should have been multiple parts.
- 2:28:17Speaker 1: I think it was four episodes.
- 2:28:19Speaker 3: Was it four episodes? Yeah, it was a few episodes.
- 2:28:21Speaker 3: What am I thinking about then? Because if Netflix didn't.
- 2:28:24Speaker 4: Run on it, you came out of that documentary thinking
- 2:28:26Speaker 4: there's a lot of meat left on the bone.
- 2:28:28Speaker 3: There's a lot of meat on the bone.
- 2:28:30Speaker 1: So much.
- 2:28:30Speaker 6: Cam said he may do it with his production company.
- 2:28:33Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, there's a lot of meat. Bro,
- 2:28:36Speaker 1: I got a hundred stories, bro.
- 2:28:39Speaker 6: I told y'all earlier, it was three things that Brandon
- 2:28:41Speaker 6: versus Spikes wanted to be, right?
- 2:28:43Speaker 3: I wanted to have great penmanship. I failed at that.
- 2:28:45Speaker 3: My shit is chicken scratch.
- 2:28:47Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 2:28:47Speaker 6: My mom's handwriting is beautiful. My brother's great penmanship.
- 2:28:51Speaker 1: I failed at that.
- 2:28:52Speaker 6: And the second thing, I want to be a well-rounded man, right?
- 2:28:55Speaker 6: I think I, you know, I feel like I could
- 2:28:56Speaker 6: talk a little bit about anything. We can have any
- 2:28:58Speaker 6: type of conversations I can, you know, carry it. I
- 2:29:01Speaker 6: always thought that was great for athletes to be able
- 2:29:03Speaker 6: to speak on stuff outside of sports, you know, because
- 2:29:06Speaker 6: some people, even students at our school, they're not coming
- 2:29:09Speaker 6: there for the sports, especially not now. Back in the day,
- 2:29:12Speaker 6: one of them wanted to go through that experience now. Like,
- 2:29:14Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying? That academic shit is secondary.
- 2:29:17Speaker 6: I'm finna have a good damn time. But you know,
- 2:29:20Speaker 6: now these guys, like these students, they don't care about
- 2:29:23Speaker 6: none of that. So you gotta get out in the world.
- 2:29:24Speaker 6: You gotta go meet them. Hey, how you doing? I'm Brandon.
- 2:29:27Speaker 6: Where you from? You like this class? Can I see
- 2:29:30Speaker 6: your notes? I don't want to cheat. Can I get
- 2:29:33Speaker 6: them notes, though? I know you're going to turn some
- 2:29:36Speaker 6: great notes, but you know what I'm saying? They dare
- 2:29:38Speaker 6: for academics. But they know we were students and stuff
- 2:29:41Speaker 6: like that. So obviously that community, that's what's great about
- 2:29:45Speaker 6: you winning. You see when we won four games in
- 2:29:48Speaker 6: a row, my mother was like, yay, hooray, hooray. The
- 2:29:50Speaker 6: Gators are back. It's good when Florida Gators good. Then
- 2:29:54Speaker 6: we dropped two. And everybody like, fire everybody. I'm like,
- 2:29:57Speaker 6: the fans is... You know, it's kind of like that
- 2:30:00Speaker 6: with Buffalo Bills. It's kind of like that with New England. Like,
- 2:30:03Speaker 6: I thrive in those type of environments because they'll never
- 2:30:05Speaker 6: be able to say, hey, let's get rid of that
- 2:30:07Speaker 6: mama because I ain't never been on nobody's bubble. I
- 2:30:10Speaker 6: always had a roster spot until I walked out of
- 2:30:13Speaker 6: that building. I got myself out of the league. I
- 2:30:14Speaker 6: ain't going to talk about that. That's going to be
- 2:30:16Speaker 6: in the book, though. But, you know what I'm saying?
- 2:30:19Speaker 6: But I've never been on nobody's bubble. Like, I was
- 2:30:22Speaker 6: one of the guys, always. I'm talking about that's from,
- 2:30:25Speaker 6: you know. I got some good stories with that. I
- 2:30:28Speaker 6: got a Richie and Cotton Neato story, too. I know
- 2:30:30Speaker 6: you're going to like that.
- 2:30:31Speaker 3: Tell me what you're going to hear. I knew you
- 2:30:32Speaker 3: were going to like that. Hang on. Well-rounded. Hey, what's
- 2:30:35Speaker 3: the last thing? I like you.
- 2:30:38Speaker 1: And the last thing is.
- 2:30:40Speaker 3: Hold on.
- 2:30:40Speaker 6: Let me take my shit. Let me take my shit.
- 2:30:43Speaker 6: Because I got to find it. I've been running my
- 2:30:45Speaker 6: pothole too much. And the last thing is. Tell me
- 2:30:48Speaker 6: what the last thing is.
- 2:30:49Speaker 3: Be a good storyteller.
- 2:30:51Speaker 1: Hey, you listen when I talk.
- 2:30:53Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I have to.
- 2:30:54Speaker 6: I've just been talking like a motherfucker.
- 2:30:55Speaker 3: I'll tell you, you got to follow shit too.
- 2:30:57Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, I like that, but that's it. One, so
- 2:30:59Speaker 6: we can get a good clip.
- 2:31:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:31:01Speaker 6: One, great penmanship. Two, well-rounded man. And three, be a
- 2:31:06Speaker 6: great storyteller. I thought that if I could somehow become
- 2:31:11Speaker 6: strong in these areas, these areas. I think I have
- 2:31:14Speaker 6: a chance in the real world. Just in the real world,
- 2:31:17Speaker 6: outside of sports. Cause I've never seen myself as just
- 2:31:19Speaker 6: football guy. I've never wanted football to define me. I
- 2:31:22Speaker 6: always use it as a stepping stone.
- 2:31:24Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:31:25Speaker 6: Like, but I had that type of support system. My
- 2:31:27Speaker 6: mom was like, Hey son, you more than a football player.
- 2:31:28Speaker 6: You damn good. We'll get in there and watch them
- 2:31:30Speaker 6: damn dishes.
- 2:31:30Speaker 3: Like I told you.
- 2:31:32Speaker 6: Then I tell you, clean up that room. Give you
- 2:31:33Speaker 6: a parade. All American. Shit. We got rules in there.
- 2:31:37Speaker 6: As long as we in my house, under my roof,
- 2:31:39Speaker 6: we're going to farm like that. I can't wait to
- 2:31:41Speaker 6: get up out this morning. Follow me right to Gainesville.
- 2:31:45Speaker 6: Follow me right to Gainesville.
- 2:31:46Speaker 3: We were talking before the podcast and Aaron Hernandez was
- 2:31:49Speaker 3: brought up. Clearly, you're a good storyteller. I'll let you
- 2:31:54Speaker 3: have the floor on that.
- 2:31:55Speaker 1: I have to pee? Keep going.
- 2:31:56Speaker 3: You heard this part. And then if I miss something.
- 2:31:58Speaker 1: Good, just catch me.
- 2:31:59Speaker 3: I'll tell you when you get back because I have
- 2:32:01Speaker 3: to pee too, so we'll tap out. We'll tap out.
- 2:32:03Speaker 1: I just don't want to break the.
- 2:32:05Speaker 6: Because I know once I go, I'm going to go
- 2:32:06Speaker 6: like a pregnant lady.
- 2:32:08Speaker 1: Look.
- 2:32:09Speaker 3: So you met Aaron Hernandez. Everyone knows the story. Grob
- 2:32:12Speaker 3: comes on here, talks about stories. I asked him, there's
- 2:32:15Speaker 3: a rumor always in the NFL of the Titans. Like
- 2:32:16Speaker 3: guys who come for the Patriots be like, yo, Aaron
- 2:32:18Speaker 3: Hernandez was like, he's a psychopath. Like he would jerk
- 2:32:21Speaker 3: off in team meeting rooms. He would do crazy shit.
- 2:32:24Speaker 3: Obviously the documentary comes out. He's gay, but he's not gay.
- 2:32:27Speaker 3: This guy comes out, but he never admitted it. Obviously
- 2:32:31Speaker 3: was in prison for murder. But you had firsthand experience
- 2:32:35Speaker 3: with him.
- 2:32:35Speaker 1: That was my brother. I buried him. I was there.
- 2:32:39Speaker 1: His daughter's my goddaughter.
- 2:32:42Speaker 6: That story is just, I finally got to a place
- 2:32:45Speaker 6: where I can even speak on it. This is my
- 2:32:46Speaker 6: first time even publicly speaking on that. And he's once
- 2:32:49Speaker 6: a friend, always a friend. I'm one of them type
- 2:32:51Speaker 6: of guys. I'm like, we're going to take this shit
- 2:32:53Speaker 6: to the end. Everybody make mistakes. I wouldn't even feel
- 2:32:58Speaker 6: like a lawyer friend if something happened. I make mistakes
- 2:33:01Speaker 6: and my people, I'm able to get through the whole
- 2:33:04Speaker 6: thing because my support system, people that still have my back,
- 2:33:07Speaker 6: they didn't really gravitate to the fact that I was
- 2:33:10Speaker 6: Brandon Spice, the player, but I'm Brandon Spice, the person.
- 2:33:13Speaker 6: That's what they enjoy and like. I always had that
- 2:33:16Speaker 6: type of support system. So I wanted to obviously provide
- 2:33:19Speaker 6: that for him. No matter what happened, I got an
- 2:33:20Speaker 6: older brother in prison for life. Life with no paroles,
- 2:33:23Speaker 6: been down since 2001. I am him, everything. And you
- 2:33:27Speaker 6: think I was gonna stop talking to my brother? You
- 2:33:29Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? I would never, no matter what happened.
- 2:33:33Speaker 6: And it is a sticky situation. People died and it's
- 2:33:36Speaker 6: a tragedy for both sides by far. But at the
- 2:33:39Speaker 6: same time- You.
- 2:33:39Speaker 3: Have empathy for that situation, but you also have your brother.
- 2:33:41Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 2:33:42Speaker 6: I'm gonna always, because it is what it is. It's life.
- 2:33:46Speaker 6: Life isn't fair. And I understand that. I've had a
- 2:33:49Speaker 6: lot of highs, but I had some lows too. And
- 2:33:51Speaker 6: I was able to get through that with a support
- 2:33:53Speaker 6: system and the right mindset, having that willpower, that mental toughness.
- 2:33:59Speaker 6: I think that's very important. And football kind of taught
- 2:34:01Speaker 6: me that. I think everything that I basically failed at
- 2:34:07Speaker 6: or had a hiccup in, it was necessary. It was
- 2:34:10Speaker 6: part of my development. That shit had to happen. Like
- 2:34:13Speaker 6: for me to get to this spot, this Brandon Spikes,
- 2:34:16Speaker 6: the well-rounded man, I had to take some L's. But
- 2:34:18Speaker 6: now I'm in a space now where I can teach
- 2:34:21Speaker 6: and I can guide and I can lead and I
- 2:34:23Speaker 6: can like, They ain't got what you need to do.
- 2:34:26Speaker 6: We ain't doing that. I didn't have a brand of
- 2:34:27Speaker 6: spice around when I was there. I had to fuck
- 2:34:30Speaker 6: it up. And I still had my brothers and my
- 2:34:33Speaker 6: supporters and my family. I had all of that. But
- 2:34:35Speaker 6: we built that type of culture that, I think a
- 2:34:39Speaker 6: lot of times, that's what a lot of these dudes
- 2:34:41Speaker 6: coming in with this me mentality. Ah, what can you
- 2:34:43Speaker 6: do for me?
- 2:34:44Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:34:45Speaker 6: This is a team game. What are you talking about?
- 2:34:48Speaker 6: I get that you, obviously we know what's at hand
- 2:34:50Speaker 6: and what you could, At arm's reach, you work your
- 2:34:54Speaker 6: whole life and I get all that. But I don't
- 2:34:57Speaker 6: want those type of players that's solely focused on money.
- 2:35:00Speaker 6: You gotta be focused on the process, the development part
- 2:35:03Speaker 6: of it. Because that's one reason probably why college players
- 2:35:07Speaker 6: can't go straight pro. You know what I'm saying? Because
- 2:35:09Speaker 6: it's development. It's grown men. You know how that go.
- 2:35:12Speaker 6: You ain't developed. As a younger man, you still ain't
- 2:35:14Speaker 6: where you need to be.
- 2:35:15Speaker 3: It's a process.
- 2:35:16Speaker 6: It's... Endless reps, unlimited reps. You gotta like, that's what
- 2:35:21Speaker 6: I wanted, the reps. And I felt better. You know,
- 2:35:24Speaker 6: I was one of these, you know I like to
- 2:35:27Speaker 6: see it in the field, but I want to go
- 2:35:28Speaker 6: on the field and get it done.
- 2:35:29Speaker 3: Yeah, you're a visual learner.
- 2:35:30Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a visual learner. Yes, exactly.
- 2:35:32Speaker 3: What was the experience like? Like you said, it's your brother,
- 2:35:35Speaker 3: that's your guy. He was the class we were talking about.
- 2:35:37Speaker 6: Yeah, we were talking about Chico. Yeah, he was, you know,
- 2:35:41Speaker 6: when he first got there, Urban, you know, I obviously
- 2:35:44Speaker 6: helped recruit all of those. I still recruit to this day.
- 2:35:47Speaker 6: The team we got right now, I helped retain a
- 2:35:49Speaker 6: lot of those players. I don't want no pat on
- 2:35:50Speaker 6: the back or none of that.
- 2:35:52Speaker 3: I love Florida.
- 2:35:54Speaker 6: I'll do that shit for anything just to see us
- 2:35:57Speaker 6: get back to the promised land. I want to do
- 2:35:59Speaker 6: my part. And I don't need no fucking credit for that.
- 2:36:03Speaker 6: My flag is in the ground. I'm good. I just
- 2:36:05Speaker 6: want to see these kids be better than me and
- 2:36:07Speaker 6: not make some of the same mistakes I made when
- 2:36:08Speaker 6: I was their age.
- 2:36:10Speaker 3: Young, dumb, and full of cum.
- 2:36:12Speaker 1: Y'all gonna like that one.
- 2:36:13Speaker 3: Y'all gonna like that one.
- 2:36:17Speaker 6: Straight up, though, that's what I was. Young and dumb
- 2:36:19Speaker 6: and full of cum. Like, I'm going to help you
- 2:36:20Speaker 6: through this whole process. And it ain't just one year,
- 2:36:23Speaker 6: two years. Once I build a relationship with y'all, that's
- 2:36:25Speaker 6: why I try to tell y'all when I first got here,
- 2:36:28Speaker 6: I'm locked in with y'all. Y'all need me for anything.
- 2:36:30Speaker 3: I'm one of them.
- 2:36:31Speaker 6: And once I build a relationship with a young player
- 2:36:34Speaker 6: and I see he can go somewhere, or I'm very,
- 2:36:37Speaker 6: very honest, too. I'm going to be frank. Like, baby,
- 2:36:40Speaker 6: you ain't built for this. You know what I'm saying?
- 2:36:42Speaker 6: Take advantage of the opportunity, though. You got this great
- 2:36:45Speaker 6: opportunity to get a... Great education from this elite institution.
- 2:36:48Speaker 6: One of the best in the country. And that's all good.
- 2:36:51Speaker 1: All positive. You win.
- 2:36:52Speaker 6: And I'd be sure to reassure them and encourage them
- 2:36:55Speaker 6: to focus on that. Because you really ain't want to
- 2:36:57Speaker 6: go to that dark side, what it's going to take
- 2:36:58Speaker 6: to be average.
- 2:37:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:37:00Speaker 6: Just to be average. You really want to be great, elite.
- 2:37:03Speaker 6: You got to go to a whole nother place.
- 2:37:06Speaker 1: Literally.
- 2:37:06Speaker 6: And it takes so much and so much. And I
- 2:37:09Speaker 6: was a little different. I was able to thrive. But
- 2:37:12Speaker 6: I don't think I really reached my potential, though. Because
- 2:37:14Speaker 6: I was never a pro. I just, you know, it
- 2:37:16Speaker 6: was fun. I wanted to have a good time doing it.
- 2:37:18Speaker 6: And obviously I was living for my big brother too,
- 2:37:20Speaker 6: cause he was locked up. I had to do everything
- 2:37:22Speaker 6: double duty. Cause I wanted to, you know, he obviously
- 2:37:25Speaker 6: I could talk to him or whatever, still hug him,
- 2:37:27Speaker 6: go see him. But he wasn't out here with me
- 2:37:29Speaker 6: and all I ever wanted he told my mom that
- 2:37:31Speaker 6: he was going to take us out of our situation,
- 2:37:32Speaker 6: take us out, you know, the hood and all that
- 2:37:35Speaker 6: paycheck to paycheck shit. Made a mistake, got jammed up
- 2:37:38Speaker 6: and life gone just like that.
- 2:37:40Speaker 3: Boom.
- 2:37:41Speaker 6: One mistake cost you your life. And I've learned from that. Like,
- 2:37:45Speaker 6: I don't need to go through that.
- 2:37:46Speaker 3: You know.
- 2:37:47Speaker 6: Seeing is believing. Once you see some shit like that,
- 2:37:50Speaker 6: and I'm like, damn, my big brother gone. He ain't gone,
- 2:37:54Speaker 6: but somebody lost their life in that situation too. And
- 2:37:56Speaker 6: I feel for that. Got empathy for that. How old were.
- 2:37:59Speaker 3: You when that all happened?
- 2:38:01Speaker 1: 11, 12.
- 2:38:02Speaker 3: How was that for you as an 11-year-old? That shit
- 2:38:03Speaker 3: was very, very stressful.
- 2:38:05Speaker 6: I felt like I had to be the man of
- 2:38:06Speaker 6: the house immediately. You know what I'm saying? And my
- 2:38:10Speaker 6: mom was never the same. That was her firstborn. And
- 2:38:12Speaker 6: that definitely... gave me that fire in my stomach though.
- 2:38:17Speaker 6: That edge, I played with that grit. It's all from that.
- 2:38:20Speaker 6: I wanted to make my mama proud, let her know like, hey,
- 2:38:22Speaker 6: you didn't, you did a great job raising us. You know,
- 2:38:25Speaker 6: your oldest son, he made a mistake and it cost
- 2:38:27Speaker 6: him his life. But baby boy, I got it. And
- 2:38:30Speaker 6: I was getting.
- 2:38:31Speaker 3: Into the list.
- 2:38:32Speaker 6: You know, you're proud of your environment.
- 2:38:33Speaker 1: You're around it.
- 2:38:33Speaker 6: You're going to get into it.
- 2:38:34Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:38:35Speaker 6: But after that happened to my big brother and that,
- 2:38:37Speaker 6: you know, turned our family upside down, like we'd never
- 2:38:40Speaker 6: seen that coming. I walked a straight line from then on,
- 2:38:43Speaker 6: because it wasn't about me. From that point on, it
- 2:38:45Speaker 6: wasn't about me. I never wanted to let my mom down.
- 2:38:48Speaker 6: Because if I fucked up too, she would have felt
- 2:38:51Speaker 6: like she failed us.
- 2:38:52Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:38:53Speaker 6: She did everything to raise us and instill values and
- 2:38:59Speaker 6: morals and all of that shit into that shit that
- 2:39:01Speaker 6: really give you the core of a human. Like that shit,
- 2:39:04Speaker 6: why we vibing like that, I got that from my
- 2:39:06Speaker 6: old girl. You know what I'm saying?
- 2:39:08Speaker 1: That passion.
- 2:39:08Speaker 6: If we're going to do something, son, we're going to
- 2:39:10Speaker 6: do it. There's only one way to do it, right?
- 2:39:12Speaker 6: And I got that from her. So I'm thankful for that.
- 2:39:14Speaker 6: But that experience with my brother, that what really, you know,
- 2:39:18Speaker 6: put fuel on the fire. Literally, it like took me to,
- 2:39:23Speaker 6: I was on Demon Time. I'm going to speak, you know,
- 2:39:25Speaker 6: y'all are young. How old are y'all? What's y'all age?
- 2:39:29Speaker 1: I'm 35.
- 2:39:29Speaker 6: Nice.
- 2:39:30Speaker 1: 35, 37.
- 2:39:30Speaker 3: You said you're almost 40? 39, just turned 39. We're
- 2:39:34Speaker 3: all in the similar world. Yeah, we played in the
- 2:39:37Speaker 3: same thing, but I got an old soul.
- 2:39:39Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:39:40Speaker 3: Some of those movies are popping up too.
- 2:39:43Speaker 6: I'm really 67. You know what I'm saying?
- 2:39:45Speaker 3: My body is 67 from all the wear and tear.
- 2:39:49Speaker 3: When that stuff happened with your brother, you immediately thought, okay,
- 2:39:52Speaker 3: I'm not the man of the house anymore. You've talked
- 2:39:54Speaker 3: about your brother so highly on this podcast. Was there
- 2:39:56Speaker 3: ever a piece of you that was angry at first
- 2:39:59Speaker 3: at him, angry with him, had to deal with that emotionally?
- 2:40:02Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 2:40:02Speaker 6: Because I just feel like, man, you don't talk all
- 2:40:04Speaker 6: this crap my whole life, telling, promising our mom all
- 2:40:07Speaker 6: of this stuff. And I can tell she, obviously, when
- 2:40:11Speaker 6: your parents, your kids tell you they got a dream
- 2:40:14Speaker 6: or a goal they want to accomplish, and obviously, she
- 2:40:15Speaker 6: going to point to that, encourage that. Like, yeah, dreams
- 2:40:18Speaker 6: do come true, son. I always watch my brother say, mom,
- 2:40:21Speaker 6: we're going to do this, we're going to do that.
- 2:40:22Speaker 6: Then literally- The world, life happens.
- 2:40:26Speaker 3: Yeah. And change of plans. And now who's it on?
- 2:40:30Speaker 3: Little brother. And that's when I became Brandon Spikes. Yeah.
- 2:40:35Speaker 6: I was Lil' Breon up until that point. Like, they
- 2:40:37Speaker 6: were like, oh, that's Lil' Breon, little brother. Just because
- 2:40:39Speaker 6: my brother was really one of them. On and off
- 2:40:43Speaker 6: the field. But just, you know. And I was just,
- 2:40:46Speaker 6: like I say, he was too smart for his own good. And,
- 2:40:49Speaker 6: you know, the streets. Ain't no love in the streets.
- 2:40:52Speaker 4: You know?
- 2:40:53Speaker 6: And that's just where it go. They live by a code,
- 2:40:55Speaker 6: death before dishonor. He made a decision right there. I
- 2:41:01Speaker 6: think my nephew was like three or four months at
- 2:41:03Speaker 6: the time. My nephew, grown ass man, like 25, 26.
- 2:41:06Speaker 6: My brother been there 24. 24 years, or what is that,
- 2:41:10Speaker 6: 25 years?
- 2:41:10Speaker 3: Yeah. You started to talk about death before dishonor, like
- 2:41:13Speaker 3: when your brother's in that situation and then you're like, okay,
- 2:41:16Speaker 3: you were kind of getting in that world also. And
- 2:41:19Speaker 3: then that happens with your brother and you're like, oh,
- 2:41:20Speaker 3: I'm gonna straighten paths now.
- 2:41:22Speaker 6: Not for me, for my mom's sanity, her sanity.
- 2:41:25Speaker 3: How does that, in that world, how does that work?
- 2:41:27Speaker 3: Are you able?
- 2:41:29Speaker 6: I'm still in it, but at the same time, the OGs,
- 2:41:32Speaker 6: everybody in the community, like, hell no. Take your ass home.
- 2:41:35Speaker 6: But you out here, you ain't hanging out on the street.
- 2:41:37Speaker 6: What you doing? Like, you got a chance. You done
- 2:41:40Speaker 6: been touched. You got that Bruce Leroy. You got the glow.
- 2:41:43Speaker 6: Get your ass up out here. Your brother done fucked
- 2:41:45Speaker 6: it up. He messed it up. He had it, because
- 2:41:46Speaker 6: my brother's way better than me. And believe it or not,
- 2:41:48Speaker 6: in our little small town of Shelby, We got so
- 2:41:51Speaker 6: many phenomenal athletes, great players, way better than I was
- 2:41:54Speaker 6: when they got caught up in the streets. That one
- 2:41:56Speaker 6: mistake might've cost them. They look, they scholarship, whatever it was,
- 2:42:00Speaker 6: you know, it was something outside that they kind of
- 2:42:02Speaker 6: got knocked off the path. They didn't, the main focus,
- 2:42:05Speaker 6: the main thing is the main thing. And they kind of,
- 2:42:06Speaker 6: you know, stepped off and it cost them. Like, I
- 2:42:09Speaker 6: saw that happens to so many people that, you know,
- 2:42:11Speaker 6: you see them in a barbershop where they don't do
- 2:42:13Speaker 6: the barbershop like it used to be, but it'd be the, shoulda, coulda, woulda, mama,
- 2:42:16Speaker 6: if I had a dude, couldn't you heard, you know,
- 2:42:18Speaker 6: they'd be in the barbershops. That's like the, that's how that,
- 2:42:23Speaker 6: if you, I don't know if y'all, now this shit
- 2:42:25Speaker 6: is appointment only, you gotta make appointment. I don't know
- 2:42:27Speaker 6: if y'all, y'all do the barbershops? Yeah, but you know,
- 2:42:30Speaker 6: back in the day, you just pull up and, you know,
- 2:42:33Speaker 6: you wait and y'all talk and do this.
- 2:42:35Speaker 3: Talk ball. When I was a kid, we go to
- 2:42:37Speaker 3: Supercuts when I was a kid. Okay. Oh, I know
- 2:42:39Speaker 3: about Supercuts. That's like a $ 10 Tuesday.
- 2:42:41Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:42:43Speaker 6: But is it a lot of people in there? Grown men?
- 2:42:45Speaker 6: Is it mostly men?
- 2:42:47Speaker 3: I think culturally, we're living in a different world at
- 2:42:49Speaker 3: this point.
- 2:42:49Speaker 6: Yeah, because that's how I learned how to be a
- 2:42:51Speaker 6: man too. Just, I'm a young boy, but I'm around
- 2:42:53Speaker 6: that energy. The men, like the women that was, you know,
- 2:42:56Speaker 6: raising young men, they drop you out. They knew you was,
- 2:42:59Speaker 6: gonna be taken care of, you know, it was community value.
- 2:43:02Speaker 6: Like they, it was an obligation for them to instill
- 2:43:04Speaker 6: certain stuff, especially if you went to certain schools. Like
- 2:43:07Speaker 6: if my barber was a Crest Charger, you know, he
- 2:43:11Speaker 6: may help out with the bills. This season, if you
- 2:43:14Speaker 6: do what you need to do.
- 2:43:16Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:43:17Speaker 6: Yeah, come on, man. Like we wanted them like, hey,
- 2:43:19Speaker 6: go out there and beat the boy. I got this
- 2:43:22Speaker 6: for you. Like, that's how that go. That man, that
- 2:43:26Speaker 6: man that was $ 60, $ 70 that I couldn't afford. Here
- 2:43:28Speaker 6: go that new man.
- 2:43:30Speaker 3: When you decided- I would keep doing this shit.
- 2:43:34Speaker 6: That's just what it was.
- 2:43:35Speaker 3: When you got in the straight and narrow and then
- 2:43:37Speaker 3: you get to Florida, Hernandez is doing whatever based on
- 2:43:41Speaker 3: the documentary. He's not on a straight and narrow. It
- 2:43:44Speaker 3: seemed like the team wasn't on the straight and narrow.
- 2:43:47Speaker 6: I told you now, that locker room was very interesting.
- 2:43:50Speaker 6: A lot of different personalities in there. I take my
- 2:43:54Speaker 6: hat off to Earth for managing all of that. We
- 2:43:58Speaker 6: like to kill this ass. You remember he quit because
- 2:44:01Speaker 6: his heart had like a health issue or something like that.
- 2:44:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:44:04Speaker 3: And then he was coaching two years later at Ohio State. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:44:08Speaker 3: But he always used to say that. I was so
- 2:44:10Speaker 3: mad when he went to Ohio State.
- 2:44:11Speaker 6: I knew he was going to go there.
- 2:44:12Speaker 3: He was working at like CBS or something like that.
- 2:44:13Speaker 3: He came in for a game. He came in, it
- 2:44:15Speaker 3: was like game week for Michigan. Yeah. He walked in,
- 2:44:17Speaker 3: he was talking to Brady Hoke and I was kind
- 2:44:18Speaker 3: of standing off to the side and Brady Hoke walks
- 2:44:20Speaker 3: up to me and he goes, that motherfucker's gonna be
- 2:44:22Speaker 3: the head coach of Ohio State next year. And I'm like, no.
- 2:44:24Speaker 6: I wasn't surprised, because he would always talk about the
- 2:44:26Speaker 6: great Woody Hayes all the time. He would mention him
- 2:44:28Speaker 6: at school and some of the stuff. I think he
- 2:44:31Speaker 6: was one of his mentors or whatever. And he would
- 2:44:33Speaker 6: always talk about that. But I used to be like,
- 2:44:36Speaker 6: no disrespect. I'm like, yeah, you go over there. All
- 2:44:38Speaker 6: y'all do is win two games, you win that championship.
- 2:44:41Speaker 6: Two games, you win that championship over there, coach. You
- 2:44:43Speaker 6: might as well go over there, because this is going
- 2:44:44Speaker 6: to key you in the SEC. And we leaving, coach.
- 2:44:46Speaker 3: We leaving.
- 2:44:47Speaker 1: We leaving.
- 2:44:48Speaker 3: There ain't no more Percy Harbour, no more Brandon Spikes,
- 2:44:50Speaker 3: no more Tim Tebow. No more Tim Tebow. No more
- 2:44:53Speaker 3: Pouncey Brothers.
- 2:44:53Speaker 1: None of that.
- 2:44:54Speaker 6: He was like, B, I think, you know, I think
- 2:44:56Speaker 6: he got, like winning would make you comfortable. Like, you
- 2:45:00Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like he kind
- 2:45:02Speaker 6: of stopped recruiting as hard as he was because he
- 2:45:04Speaker 6: is a mastermind when it comes to recruiting.
- 2:45:07Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:45:08Speaker 6: He's a great salesman. You know, he, you know, I
- 2:45:10Speaker 6: believe every word he said and everything he said. He's like, hey,
- 2:45:13Speaker 6: you want to be a, you want to play in
- 2:45:14Speaker 6: the National Football League?
- 2:45:16Speaker 1: I said, you fucking right.
- 2:45:17Speaker 6: He said, you come to Florida and I can get
- 2:45:19Speaker 6: you there. I promise you that. You just got to
- 2:45:20Speaker 6: follow the plan. You got to buy in. You got
- 2:45:23Speaker 6: to buy into everything. And you can change everything about
- 2:45:26Speaker 6: your life.
- 2:45:27Speaker 3: I promise.
- 2:45:27Speaker 1: He looked me in my eye.
- 2:45:28Speaker 3: My mama come in and.
- 2:45:29Speaker 6: Said, how's the schooling going to look? I said, yeah,
- 2:45:31Speaker 6: he's going to get his degree four years. And I
- 2:45:34Speaker 6: already told him I'm on a three-year plan, coach. Three
- 2:45:36Speaker 6: in and out of this, motherfucker. What you talking about?
- 2:45:38Speaker 6: But he made sure to tell my mama that. I
- 2:45:41Speaker 6: was like, yeah. I went back and did what I
- 2:45:43Speaker 6: needed to do. But then I was.
- 2:45:45Speaker 3: Ultra focus on the goal was to get to the league.
- 2:45:49Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:45:49Speaker 3: But people like, well, what if you would have got hurt?
- 2:45:51Speaker 3: What you would have done?
- 2:45:52Speaker 6: I would have figured it out when it happened. But
- 2:45:55Speaker 6: for now, I'm going to focus on this and put
- 2:45:58Speaker 6: all my energy and attention on this and being the
- 2:46:00Speaker 6: best player I can be and being the best teammate
- 2:46:03Speaker 6: and leader I can be. Because at first I didn't
- 2:46:05Speaker 6: want that leadership role. That shit was too much.
- 2:46:07Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Spikes is a guy that is
- 2:46:10Speaker 3: sick to his stomach right now. The last three national
- 2:46:12Speaker 3: champions came out of the Big Ten. He's sick to
- 2:46:14Speaker 3: his stomach about it. And I am the ultimate equalizer.
- 2:46:19Speaker 3: You got to, that's fair.
- 2:46:23Speaker 6: But no, I've always respected him. I'm just saying like,
- 2:46:26Speaker 6: I just think, you know, because I played with a
- 2:46:28Speaker 6: lot of great players from those covers in the league,
- 2:46:30Speaker 6: but it's just like that when, you know, we got
- 2:46:32Speaker 6: to say it means more. Like, y'all don't understand. Some
- 2:46:35Speaker 6: of these Bible Belt universities is deep South. These people,
- 2:46:40Speaker 6: just like us, they ain't even out there blood, sweat,
- 2:46:42Speaker 6: and tears. They eat, sleep, and shit ball, too. Same thing.
- 2:46:45Speaker 6: Their whole life evolves around the Gator football season.
- 2:46:48Speaker 3: Yeah, the fan base of the SEC understands the marketing
- 2:46:51Speaker 3: that comes into, like, Neyland Stadium. I haven't been to
- 2:46:54Speaker 3: the Swamp, but the Swamp.
- 2:46:55Speaker 6: Even South Carolina. Yeah, they shit lit. The movie was
- 2:46:57Speaker 6: made in South Carolina.
- 2:46:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:46:58Speaker 3: Yeah. Right there.
- 2:47:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:47:03Speaker 6: That stadium been for a long time, but it just,
- 2:47:06Speaker 6: I think it really means more. And a lot of
- 2:47:08Speaker 6: these fans, they was born to it. They was born
- 2:47:11Speaker 6: in it.
- 2:47:12Speaker 3: Generational. Like they never had a choice. They were sitting
- 2:47:15Speaker 3: there two years up Pampers.
- 2:47:18Speaker 6: Like, you know, you ain't, a choice. Kind of like
- 2:47:21Speaker 6: how I was a Cowboys fan. I'm still pissed Jerry
- 2:47:23Speaker 6: and his game grabbed Sean Lee over me. I'm gonna
- 2:47:25Speaker 6: feel the way for that fight. Hollywood Henderson and that shit.
- 2:47:28Speaker 6: I could have changed everything for you, Jerry. I could
- 2:47:31Speaker 6: have changed everything for you. You had to put that
- 2:47:33Speaker 6: star on the side of my helmet.
- 2:47:34Speaker 3: It's crazy that Sean Lee is like such a good
- 2:47:35Speaker 3: football player. He was incredible.
- 2:47:37Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean Lee was.
- 2:47:38Speaker 3: He was a star.
- 2:47:38Speaker 1: He was.
- 2:47:38Speaker 4: A lot of the, he would be somebody who'd get injured.
- 2:47:41Speaker 4: He'd get the concussed or get a hammy, whatever it is.
- 2:47:43Speaker 6: You can't make the club. In the tub.
- 2:47:45Speaker 3: He put his face in the fan, though, bro. I know,
- 2:47:48Speaker 3: but he would get hurt. He just wasn't there. He
- 2:47:49Speaker 3: didn't have that size. Exactly.
- 2:47:50Speaker 1: That's what I'm.
- 2:47:51Speaker 6: Trying to tell you. I didn't never feel nothing. It
- 2:47:53Speaker 6: was one person I hit. I hit somebody one time,
- 2:47:55Speaker 6: and I felt it.
- 2:47:56Speaker 1: Guess who it was?
- 2:47:57Speaker 4: Who?
- 2:47:58Speaker 6: Ricky Williams.
- 2:48:00Speaker 3: Oh, no shit?
- 2:48:00Speaker 6: Yeah, the great Ricky. You know I put him down.
- 2:48:02Speaker 6: I put him down, but I felt that shit. I said,
- 2:48:05Speaker 6: damn Rich, okay, I see why you want to hide.
- 2:48:08Speaker 3: I thought you was going to say Richie Incognito.
- 2:48:11Speaker 6: No, hell no, man.
- 2:48:12Speaker 3: He put his hands on you, though.
- 2:48:13Speaker 6: Man, hell no. He's got heavy ass hands. I smoked
- 2:48:16Speaker 6: Richie at Miami Dolphins. He ain't never blocked me, ever.
- 2:48:19Speaker 6: True story.
- 2:48:20Speaker 1: He was at a Dolphins.
- 2:48:21Speaker 6: He used to try. I'm like, Richie, well, you know
- 2:48:23Speaker 6: I'm one of them. You know I ain't the one.
- 2:48:25Speaker 6: So we played together when we was at Buffalo, and
- 2:48:27Speaker 6: we had a little incident. So when I went to
- 2:48:29Speaker 6: Buffalo in my second round, I think Sexy Richie was
- 2:48:32Speaker 6: the coach. You know what I'm saying? He was the
- 2:48:34Speaker 6: head coach. Shout out to Jim Swartz, my DC. Man,
- 2:48:38Speaker 6: I've been surrounded by great coordinators. Jim Swartz, Matt Patricia,
- 2:48:42Speaker 6: Pat Graham. You said it was Richie Incognito. I need
- 2:48:45Speaker 6: you to get to that.
- 2:48:46Speaker 3: I'm going to get it to you. I'm going to
- 2:48:47Speaker 3: get it to you.
- 2:48:47Speaker 6: Jim Swartz was my DC, so boom. I had a
- 2:48:51Speaker 6: different role at the time. I'm like year six, year seven,
- 2:48:54Speaker 6: I think. I'm a tail end, whatever. So I'm a backup,
- 2:48:56Speaker 6: believe it or not. I'm a backup. Never been a
- 2:48:59Speaker 6: backup my whole entire life, other than Been a freshman
- 2:49:02Speaker 6: at Florida. That was the first time I experienced getting,
- 2:49:05Speaker 6: you know, splinters in my ass from being on the bench.
- 2:49:07Speaker 6: But anyway, so I got a different role. I'm on
- 2:49:11Speaker 6: scout team again. I'm absolutely killing Richie. He can't block
- 2:49:17Speaker 6: me still.
- 2:49:17Speaker 1: I'm going to back up.
- 2:49:18Speaker 3: I'm second team.
- 2:49:19Speaker 6: He gets frustrated. He's like, hey man, do your job.
- 2:49:22Speaker 3: He's not going to do that in a game.
- 2:49:25Speaker 6: I said, Rich, you think I'm going to be out
- 2:49:26Speaker 6: here a sitting duck so you can buy me for one?
- 2:49:28Speaker 6: Get that shit on the tape. Y'all know how they do.
- 2:49:30Speaker 6: They get some shit on the tape. They like, use
- 2:49:32Speaker 6: that shit as leverage. And when it comes to negotiation time,
- 2:49:35Speaker 6: come on now. Like, you're falling off. You're losing a
- 2:49:37Speaker 6: step there, spot. Richie blocked you. Richie's a good player,
- 2:49:41Speaker 6: but he couldn't fuck with me.
- 2:49:42Speaker 3: This is the fact.
- 2:49:42Speaker 1: Turn on the tape. Turn on the tape.
- 2:49:45Speaker 6: Because I wanted, that's what I'm saying. You think you're
- 2:49:47Speaker 6: a big dog until you meet a motherfucking big dog.
- 2:49:50Speaker 6: And I'm willing to die about this shit you out
- 2:49:51Speaker 6: here putting on. I'm... I'm one of them motherfuckers. Let's
- 2:49:55Speaker 6: step in the back and handle this shit like men.
- 2:49:57Speaker 6: Fist fight. You want me, I'm going to shake your
- 2:49:59Speaker 6: hand and get laid.
- 2:49:59Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
- 2:50:01Speaker 1: Hey, look.
- 2:50:02Speaker 3: So, boom.
- 2:50:02Speaker 6: I'm kicking his ass, right? He gets mad. He's like, B,
- 2:50:05Speaker 6: come on, Spice.
- 2:50:06Speaker 3: Do your job.
- 2:50:06Speaker 6: You're a fucking scout team player.
- 2:50:08Speaker 3: You know I don't put up with no disrespect. That's
- 2:50:10Speaker 3: one thing I don't do. No disrespect.
- 2:50:12Speaker 6: Soon as you disrespect me, Alvin Mack, I turn into
- 2:50:17Speaker 6: a motherfucking psychopath. I can get there. Zero to 60
- 2:50:19Speaker 6: real quick. I can just see blood right out. He
- 2:50:21Speaker 6: said some shit like that. And I just want to
- 2:50:22Speaker 6: do my part.
- 2:50:23Speaker 3: I already don't like my role I got, but I'm
- 2:50:24Speaker 3: gonna embrace it.
- 2:50:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my job. Change, stuff changed.
- 2:50:27Speaker 6: I'm a team player.
- 2:50:28Speaker 1: I love that.
- 2:50:28Speaker 3: That's what I love about the whole thing.
- 2:50:30Speaker 1: Boom.
- 2:50:30Speaker 6: So my job is to give you a fucking good look.
- 2:50:33Speaker 6: Y'all ain't falling asleep.
- 2:50:34Speaker 1: By you guys. All right, fuck.
- 2:50:37Speaker 6: I know I've been running my power for a while.
- 2:50:39Speaker 6: Look though, my job is to give you a look
- 2:50:41Speaker 6: so you prepare for Sunday. So I'm giving them a look.
- 2:50:44Speaker 6: I was a hell of a player in the NFL.
- 2:50:45Speaker 6: I thought I was pretty decent. I did my job
- 2:50:47Speaker 6: and every team I ever played on, I had a
- 2:50:49Speaker 6: key role. So I wanted to give him a look.
- 2:50:52Speaker 6: So he prepared. So we put the team in the
- 2:50:55Speaker 6: best position to be successful on Sunday. So obviously I
- 2:50:57Speaker 6: ain't letting him block me. So another play come, I
- 2:51:01Speaker 6: reads this shit. It's amateur hour. Like I've been, this
- 2:51:03Speaker 6: is my seventh year in the league. I can, this
- 2:51:04Speaker 6: shit cake. I've been bored of it. Bill Belichick was
- 2:51:07Speaker 6: my mentor, my leader, my sensei. I got my PhD
- 2:51:13Speaker 6: in football now, guys. I had my undergrad, but now
- 2:51:17Speaker 6: I got a PhD in playing high-level football. You know
- 2:51:21Speaker 6: what I'm saying? And I got it from a mastermind
- 2:51:23Speaker 6: that simplified the game, and it was already slow motion
- 2:51:26Speaker 6: for me. I'm running 4.9. That shit was, I'm talking shit,
- 2:51:30Speaker 6: making checks, making adjustments, getting the fan, the crowd hype,
- 2:51:34Speaker 6: all of this shit.
- 2:51:35Speaker 1: I had finally.
- 2:51:36Speaker 6: got to that level where I could really be a
- 2:51:38Speaker 6: pro like that. But on the field, I never out
- 2:51:41Speaker 6: the field.
- 2:51:41Speaker 1: I was, you know.
- 2:51:42Speaker 3: So Richie calls you a scout team player.
- 2:51:43Speaker 1: Boom.
- 2:51:43Speaker 6: So boom, he called me a scout team player. You know,
- 2:51:46Speaker 6: I was like, all right, bet. I ain't going to
- 2:51:48Speaker 6: let you block me. He was like, just do what's
- 2:51:50Speaker 6: on the card. I'm like, I'm doing my technique. I'm
- 2:51:52Speaker 6: doing my fundamentals. I'm going to read my keys. That's
- 2:51:54Speaker 6: how I got to this level anyway. I ain't going
- 2:51:56Speaker 6: to never stop doing that. You tired or not, you
- 2:51:58Speaker 6: stick to the fundamentals. You're going to be good.
- 2:51:59Speaker 1: Boom.
- 2:52:00Speaker 6: So I'm doing that. This shit, amateur anyway, I think.
- 2:52:03Speaker 6: What was it?
- 2:52:04Speaker 1: Dayball? Dayball.
- 2:52:05Speaker 3: Brian Dayball.
- 2:52:06Speaker 1: Brian Dayball.
- 2:52:07Speaker 3: I think he was the OC.
- 2:52:08Speaker 1: He was there.
- 2:52:08Speaker 6: He was involved in it. He used to come to
- 2:52:09Speaker 6: me after practice. Him and Josh McDaniels used to do this. Like,
- 2:52:12Speaker 6: how'd you see that? What'd you see right there?
- 2:52:13Speaker 3: Like, I don't know. I just did that shit. I
- 2:52:15Speaker 3: seen that shit.
- 2:52:16Speaker 1: That shit.
- 2:52:16Speaker 6: Amateur hour. You're going to get them with that, though.
- 2:52:18Speaker 6: It's a good-ass play for them. They ain't going to
- 2:52:20Speaker 6: see that coming, but whatever. But anyway, so I make
- 2:52:24Speaker 6: the play. He's like, all right, do that shit again then.
- 2:52:28Speaker 6: I think I probably made about three or four plays.
- 2:52:30Speaker 6: Just a true story now. I beat him. He chased me.
- 2:52:33Speaker 6: He pushes me in the back.
- 2:52:35Speaker 1: Literally.
- 2:52:37Speaker 6: I could have got hurt, tore my leg or something.
- 2:52:40Speaker 6: And I ain't out of control. Some of them practice
- 2:52:42Speaker 6: players trying to be scout team out in America.
- 2:52:44Speaker 3: Nope.
- 2:52:45Speaker 6: I'm just reading my key.
- 2:52:45Speaker 3: I'm a pro. I'm in my sixth, seventh year.
- 2:52:48Speaker 6: Come on now. I'm supposed to be starting. Let's not
- 2:52:50Speaker 6: get it twisted. I can ruin the whole practice if
- 2:52:52Speaker 6: I wanted to. None of y'all stop me from doing
- 2:52:54Speaker 6: what I want to do out this motherfucker.
- 2:52:56Speaker 3: Ass up. What happened? What's the center? Hold on, wait.
- 2:53:00Speaker 1: Tell us what happened.
- 2:53:01Speaker 6: Because there's somebody that can vouch for this.
- 2:53:03Speaker 1: E-Y. E-Wood.
- 2:53:05Speaker 4: Okay.
- 2:53:05Speaker 3: E-Wood.
- 2:53:06Speaker 1: E-Wood. Friend of the show. Yeah.
- 2:53:09Speaker 3: I used to tell him, you like that kid off
- 2:53:11Speaker 3: Bad Santa.
- 2:53:12Speaker 1: That's my dog, though. I thought E-Wood.
- 2:53:16Speaker 3: That's my dog.
- 2:53:17Speaker 6: But E-Wood knew I was one of them. He'll vouch
- 2:53:19Speaker 6: for all of this.
- 2:53:20Speaker 3: So Ricky, he pushes me in the back, broski.
- 2:53:24Speaker 6: I fall and I get up.
- 2:53:24Speaker 1: I'm like.
- 2:53:26Speaker 6: What the fuck you want? What you do that for?
- 2:53:27Speaker 6: He said, I told you to do your job. That
- 2:53:29Speaker 6: ain't what the car do.
- 2:53:30Speaker 3: I said, bitch, I could have got hurt right there.
- 2:53:32Speaker 1: I said, bet.
- 2:53:33Speaker 3: I said, when we get in the locker room, it's up.
- 2:53:36Speaker 6: I ain't going to sneak you. You know what I'm saying?
- 2:53:37Speaker 3: It's up.
- 2:53:38Speaker 6: Rex was like, don't do it, Spice. I'm going to
- 2:53:40Speaker 6: have to find you. I'm going to say, well, you're
- 2:53:41Speaker 6: going to charge that to the gang, coach.
- 2:53:43Speaker 1: That's up.
- 2:53:44Speaker 3: I'm on his ass.
- 2:53:44Speaker 6: I ain't going to do this out here with all
- 2:53:46Speaker 6: these cameras out here. We get on the gang, in
- 2:53:47Speaker 6: the locker room, be ready to fight. Be ready to fight,
- 2:53:52Speaker 6: and I'm going to leave it at that.
- 2:53:55Speaker 3: No, no. What are you talking about?
- 2:53:56Speaker 1: What?
- 2:53:57Speaker 3: That is crazy.
- 2:53:58Speaker 1: What the fuck was that? Hey, you see how I
- 2:54:02Speaker 1: ruled him in right there?
- 2:54:03Speaker 3: What are you doing?
- 2:54:04Speaker 6: We got to get back to that. No, we can
- 2:54:06Speaker 6: get back to that.
- 2:54:06Speaker 1: We back at it right now.
- 2:54:08Speaker 3: What happens when you guys get to the locker room?
- 2:54:10Speaker 3: Ask the rest of the guys. Yeah, ask the guys.
- 2:54:15Speaker 3: You calling E-Wood? Yeah.
- 2:54:16Speaker 1: Call E-Wood.
- 2:54:17Speaker 6: Put him on FaceTime. I want to see my dog anyway.
- 2:54:19Speaker 6: I want to see how that golf game look. You
- 2:54:21Speaker 6: swear he nice. I'm trash as hell.
- 2:54:24Speaker 3: How you not gonna finish that story?
- 2:54:26Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 2:54:27Speaker 3: I bet, hey, Richie's a strong motherfucker. Hey, Richie has
- 2:54:32Speaker 3: some heavy arms, bro. Go look at the tape.
- 2:54:37Speaker 1: Never.
- 2:54:39Speaker 6: You know one person who hit me? I got hit
- 2:54:41Speaker 6: one time my entire career. Vontae Leach. Vontae Lee, who's that?
- 2:54:46Speaker 6: Vontae Lee, I think he's a fullback for the Baltimore Ravens.
- 2:54:48Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, of course.
- 2:54:49Speaker 6: He smoked my ass. Oh, I got the best of
- 2:54:52Speaker 6: him all the time. But he smoked my ass in
- 2:54:53Speaker 6: the AFC Championship. Literally knocked me out of my feet.
- 2:54:56Speaker 6: I've never been hit like this my entire career. I've
- 2:54:58Speaker 6: never been hit. I was always the hitter, you know.
- 2:55:00Speaker 6: They was always the nail, and I was the hammer.
- 2:55:02Speaker 6: That's probably why I ain't got.
- 2:55:03Speaker 3: CTE with it. My phone's on loud. I'm going to
- 2:55:06Speaker 3: take a pee real quick.
- 2:55:08Speaker 1: Yeah, go pee.
- 2:55:08Speaker 4: Would you say you were the number one heavy hitter
- 2:55:12Speaker 4: over Hightower?
- 2:55:14Speaker 6: Over Hightower?
- 2:55:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:55:16Speaker 3: Hey, Dante. I like Dante, but ask Dante.
- 2:55:19Speaker 6: He can knock your dick stiff, bro. He ain't never
- 2:55:20Speaker 6: put no man to sleep. I put grown men to
- 2:55:24Speaker 6: sleep with. Like, when they see me come, I hit them,
- 2:55:26Speaker 6: and they go.
- 2:55:28Speaker 3: You know. You was kind of like a lower body tackler. No.
- 2:55:31Speaker 3: Hell no.
- 2:55:32Speaker 1: I'm going to knock you out, hit you in the leg.
- 2:55:34Speaker 4: You was like a rap and roll tackler.
- 2:55:37Speaker 1: You were a gator. No, I didn't even know.
- 2:55:38Speaker 3: You were a gator tackler.
- 2:55:39Speaker 1: That Seattle Seahawks shit?
- 2:55:41Speaker 6: I just told you the first time I learned how
- 2:55:43Speaker 6: to tackle was a foreign football tackle. I've never stopped
- 2:55:45Speaker 6: doing it until they changed the rules. And it was like,
- 2:55:48Speaker 6: you can't, you know, and I was like, coach, I've
- 2:55:50Speaker 6: been knocking people out. I think one year I paid
- 2:55:52Speaker 6: for my fines too.
- 2:55:53Speaker 1: One year.
- 2:55:53Speaker 4: You were a good form tackler. You weren't a hit
- 2:55:55Speaker 4: stick guy.
- 2:55:57Speaker 3: I'm not so many people.
- 2:56:03Speaker 6: A lot of that shit they took off YouTube.
- 2:56:08Speaker 3: Cause they went to a spotlight. They don't want to
- 2:56:10Speaker 3: show those violent plays like that.
- 2:56:11Speaker 6: I did not a Marino out, but in the league,
- 2:56:14Speaker 6: I'm not me and out literally.
- 2:56:16Speaker 3: We had a, we had a tear talk.
- 2:56:18Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 2:56:19Speaker 6: Oh, we going to talk about that. Wait till you
- 2:56:21Speaker 6: get back, because I'm going to give that shit to y'all.
- 2:56:23Speaker 6: Blood Raw ain't never shared what I said, the old no-show.
- 2:56:26Speaker 6: But I'm going to let y'all know what I.
- 2:56:27Speaker 1: Said to it.
- 2:56:28Speaker 6: Bro, that was one of the hardest plays. That was
- 2:56:30Speaker 6: the first play of the game. Like, I've been thinking
- 2:56:33Speaker 6: about it. I've never thought about a man every night, ever.
- 2:56:35Speaker 6: But I thought about him. And I ain't going to
- 2:56:38Speaker 6: say no homer, because.
- 2:56:39Speaker 1: I ain't one of them.
- 2:56:40Speaker 6: You already know what I'm talking about.
- 2:56:46Speaker 3: This segment is brought to you by Jack Daniels, Tennessee whiskey.
- 2:56:50Speaker 3: It's not scotch. It's not bourbon. It's Jack Daniels made
- 2:56:52Speaker 3: the Tennessee way. Jack Daniels is proudly served from fine
- 2:56:55Speaker 3: establishments to questionable joints all around the world. So no

- 2:57:12Speaker 6: I don't want to, cause you know, I got into
- 2:57:15Speaker 6: so much fights and smoke and shit. I don't remember
- 2:57:17Speaker 6: all the motherfuckers. And it ain't CTE. I just got
- 2:57:21Speaker 6: my memory.
- 2:57:21Speaker 3: It could be a little bit. It's not. I don't
- 2:57:23Speaker 3: think I.
- 2:57:23Speaker 6: Got CTE, bro. Cause I was the helmet, not the nail.
- 2:57:26Speaker 6: I'm telling you, I really think. The helmet, not the nail.
- 2:57:29Speaker 6: I was the hammer and not the nail. I'm delivering
- 2:57:32Speaker 6: the force. Like when you delivering the blow, I told you,
- 2:57:34Speaker 6: only blow I ever.
- 2:57:35Speaker 3: Took my whole career. The brain is still jumping around
- 2:57:37Speaker 3: when you delivering the blow.
- 2:57:38Speaker 1: Could be.
- 2:57:39Speaker 6: I did play for the township number three Rams. I probably,
- 2:57:42Speaker 6: in my head, you can make yourself whatever you want mentally.
- 2:57:45Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? A motherfucker that got diabetes,
- 2:57:49Speaker 6: if he mentally make himself think that he don't got diabetes,
- 2:57:53Speaker 6: he's cured. I don't know if that's how that is.
- 2:57:56Speaker 6: I don't know if that's how that is. The mind,
- 2:57:58Speaker 6: just say, I ain't.
- 2:57:58Speaker 3: Saying, come on, guys.
- 2:58:01Speaker 1: The mind is a strong thing.
- 2:58:03Speaker 3: The mind is a very powerful thing.
- 2:58:04Speaker 6: Yeah, you can, that shit is.
- 2:58:06Speaker 3: Positive words of affirmation.
- 2:58:07Speaker 6: Yeah, Mickey, yeah. Mickey Mirati would take me to places
- 2:58:10Speaker 6: that I didn't think I could go. And once I
- 2:58:12Speaker 6: got there, I started believing in shit that I ain't
- 2:58:14Speaker 6: even think, I had in me. And I turned into
- 2:58:17Speaker 6: a Terminator type of moment. Like literally, I turned into- Yeah,
- 2:58:21Speaker 6: that too.
- 2:58:22Speaker 4: But we was about to touch on the no-show tackle.
- 2:58:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:58:29Speaker 6: Hey, I ain't never been. I told y'all I don't
- 2:58:30Speaker 6: put on no disrespect. Have y'all ever seen a team
- 2:58:32Speaker 6: run out like that before?
- 2:58:34Speaker 3: Pull that up.
- 2:58:34Speaker 6: Pull that up.
- 2:58:35Speaker 3: I don't remember them running.
- 2:58:36Speaker 6: I was under the pile, too, looking stupid. I ain't
- 2:58:38Speaker 6: never been. That's the most yards anybody ever got against me,
- 2:58:41Speaker 6: I think.
- 2:58:42Speaker 3: No Sean Moreno? No Sean, 187.
- 2:58:44Speaker 4: That game right there? That game right there, my whole
- 2:58:46Speaker 4: playing career. Oh, so you set the tone, but he still.
- 2:58:49Speaker 1: Went for 180. Hell no.
- 2:58:51Speaker 6: They did that shit the first year. That's what brought
- 2:58:53Speaker 6: all this tension in. Listen, bucko. This motherfucker disrespected him
- 2:58:58Speaker 6: and his gang.
- 2:59:01Speaker 3: So leading into this game.
- 2:59:02Speaker 6: So leading into this game, the year before, they disrespected us.
- 2:59:08Speaker 6: They ran on the field, danced, did the nay-nay and
- 2:59:10Speaker 6: all that sweet shit. All that beta male type shit.
- 2:59:13Speaker 6: I ain't like that man shaking their ass and shit.
- 2:59:15Speaker 6: I ain't on all of that.
- 2:59:16Speaker 3: But we do a little two steps. You know what
- 2:59:18Speaker 3: I'm talking about? Did they get the dub?
- 2:59:19Speaker 6: I ain't got, I got two left feet though.
- 2:59:21Speaker 1: You said what?
- 2:59:21Speaker 3: Did they get the ring on that one? Yeah, they
- 2:59:23Speaker 3: got the dub.
- 2:59:23Speaker 1: Where you trying to be funny?
- 2:59:24Speaker 6: Look out.
- 2:59:25Speaker 1: They already winning the dub right now.
- 2:59:27Speaker 6: Don't get me. Yeah, look at me. I pulled his leg.
- 2:59:31Speaker 6: I'm under the pass. I'm like, what the fuck? I
- 2:59:33Speaker 6: look up. I'm like, damn. What's going on? Look, you're
- 2:59:36Speaker 6: going to see me pop up like, oh, hold up.
- 2:59:38Speaker 6: I don't even know what, I normally fight. I was
- 2:59:39Speaker 6: in shock.
- 2:59:41Speaker 3: I normally fight during these type of situations. What was
- 2:59:43Speaker 3: happening down there?
- 2:59:44Speaker 1: Nothing.
- 2:59:45Speaker 6: You see me going towards it.
- 2:59:46Speaker 1: I'm like, what the heck?
- 2:59:47Speaker 3: I didn't know.
- 2:59:47Speaker 6: I've never seen that in all my years of playing sports.
- 2:59:50Speaker 6: Nobody has never stormed the field. The whole team on
- 2:59:53Speaker 6: the touchdown, act like you've been there.
- 2:59:55Speaker 3: For one. They trying to set the tone. They scored worse.
- 2:59:58Speaker 3: Go down the first drive.
- 2:59:59Speaker 1: They did.
- 2:59:59Speaker 6: They did.
- 2:59:59Speaker 3: They set the tone. Run on Brandon Spikes.
- 3:00:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:00:02Speaker 3: Look, top 10 team, though. Top 10 team, top 10.
- 3:00:05Speaker 3: But you guys lost this game.
- 3:00:06Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. We didn't play, it was a bust year.
- 3:00:09Speaker 6: They took the fight too. We went nine and three
- 3:00:10Speaker 6: and it was a bust year. I felt like I
- 3:00:12Speaker 6: failed the University of Florida going nine and three. The
- 3:00:16Speaker 6: bowl game, I gave all my bowl gifts away. I
- 3:00:20Speaker 6: don't want any of that. I don't want to remember
- 3:00:22Speaker 6: playing in the Capitol Bowl against the Michigan Wolverines and
- 3:00:25Speaker 6: Josh Hart in that game.
- 3:00:27Speaker 3: Mike Hart. Mike is a whatever. Hart. How many yards
- 3:00:30Speaker 3: did he run for?
- 3:00:31Speaker 1: He played hard.
- 3:00:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 3:00:32Speaker 1: I wasn't even playing hard. I wasn't even playing for real.
- 3:00:34Speaker 1: I swear.
- 3:00:35Speaker 3: You got a little nervous seeing Jake run at 77.
- 3:00:37Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 3:00:37Speaker 6: Jake was a good player, but I saw him at
- 3:00:39Speaker 6: Miami Dolphins, too. Four-time pro bowler. Oh, yeah, what that
- 3:00:43Speaker 6: supposed to mean to me? I wasn't coming off the edge,
- 3:00:46Speaker 6: but if he had.
- 3:00:46Speaker 3: To come get me. Staying on this one, though, a
- 3:00:48Speaker 3: year goes by.
- 3:00:49Speaker 1: A year goes by.
- 3:00:50Speaker 6: Everything we did was for fucking Georgia Bulldogs that whole season.
- 3:00:53Speaker 6: We did everything, 187 reps. Everything, every fucking workout movement
- 3:00:58Speaker 6: in the fucking weight room, you had to do 187 reps.
- 3:01:02Speaker 3: Of that shit.
- 3:01:04Speaker 6: Because they ran for 187 on you? Coach ain't want
- 3:01:06Speaker 6: you to forget that shit. Like, he used that as fuel.
- 3:01:09Speaker 6: And me personally, we could have lost every one of
- 3:01:11Speaker 6: these games this season. Fucking Georgia Bulldogs weren't fitting to
- 3:01:14Speaker 6: beat us. So, that play right there. We leading up
- 3:01:17Speaker 6: to this game.
- 3:01:18Speaker 3: First play.
- 3:01:19Speaker 6: Oh, we leading up to that game. I'm seeing blood.
- 3:01:21Speaker 3: It's murder. This is the rematch.
- 3:01:23Speaker 6: You think I'm going to let you beat up on
- 3:01:25Speaker 6: my big brother and get away with it? This the rematch, motherfucker.
- 3:01:28Speaker 6: I'm on all that shit. I'm ready to go ham.
- 3:01:30Speaker 6: I'm ready to die out here right now. And for one,
- 3:01:33Speaker 6: I felt like I let, not only did I let
- 3:01:34Speaker 6: my brothers down, I let the Gator Nation down, because
- 3:01:36Speaker 6: this Florida Georgia rivalry, this shit is on a whole
- 3:01:38Speaker 6: nother level. That shit split right down the middle, orange
- 3:01:40Speaker 6: and blue, black and red. But right here in this moment, fellas,
- 3:01:45Speaker 6: when I hit him, I already, you see how I
- 3:01:47Speaker 6: set him up? I'm like, you went for that shit.
- 3:01:49Speaker 3: Come on, bro.
- 3:01:50Speaker 6: Like, you see how I set him up into doing that? Like,
- 3:01:52Speaker 6: that's kind of amateur right there. I thought he was
- 3:01:54Speaker 6: better than that, but whatever. I've been doing this shit
- 3:01:56Speaker 6: to motherfuckers for a long time. Like, look how I
- 3:01:59Speaker 6: set him up. You see how I set him up?
- 3:02:00Speaker 6: And he, you know, was like, pick a boo. I
- 3:02:02Speaker 6: was like, oh, I'm over here.
- 3:02:02Speaker 3: Nope. I'm right here waiting on you. That's hilarious. Hello.
- 3:02:06Speaker 1: Hi-ya!
- 3:02:07Speaker 6: And I said, hey, you bitch made motherfucker. Raw and uncut.
- 3:02:11Speaker 6: I'm finna be here all fucking night. You better get ready.
- 3:02:13Speaker 6: I ain't never let nobody disrespect me and my brothers
- 3:02:15Speaker 6: like that ever again.
- 3:02:16Speaker 3: Fuck, boy.
- 3:02:18Speaker 6: Yo, he was looking at me.
- 3:02:20Speaker 3: I knew it.
- 3:02:20Speaker 6: Because I always look for the weaknesses. I looked in
- 3:02:23Speaker 6: his eyes. His eyes met my eyes. And we locked eyes.
- 3:02:27Speaker 6: And I knew right away that I had the edge
- 3:02:30Speaker 6: on him. And it was over for the Joy Bulldog.
- 3:02:33Speaker 6: And guess what? I think the whole stadium knew. I
- 3:02:37Speaker 6: didn't want to get.
- 3:02:38Speaker 1: Out for him.
- 3:02:38Speaker 6: I wanted to try to fight him. Yeah, I was
- 3:02:41Speaker 6: finna do some grappling type shit on his ass. He
- 3:02:43Speaker 6: had to try to put an arm bar on his ass.
- 3:02:46Speaker 6: I was one of them, bro. Right then and there,
- 3:02:48Speaker 6: I'm raging. I'm Alvin Mack. I am not myself right now.
- 3:02:55Speaker 6: I am Out of body.
- 3:02:57Speaker 1: Literally.
- 3:02:59Speaker 6: Sometimes I don't even recognize him because I'm a nice
- 3:03:01Speaker 6: guy out the field, guys. I am a civilian now
- 3:03:05Speaker 6: out here just trying to thrive. Right there. That felt
- 3:03:12Speaker 6: like life or death. I feel like if we lose
- 3:03:15Speaker 6: this game again, my career at Florida was nothing.
- 3:03:19Speaker 1: Because it matters.
- 3:03:20Speaker 6: You beat Georgia, you beat Tennessee, and you beat the
- 3:03:23Speaker 6: team out west. I'm 4-0 against Tennessee.
- 3:03:27Speaker 3: Whoever. 4-0.
- 3:03:29Speaker 6: Never in my life had a hard game against the
- 3:03:31Speaker 6: Tennessee Volunteers.
- 3:03:32Speaker 1: Never. Really?
- 3:03:34Speaker 3: 4-0 against the team out west.
- 3:03:36Speaker 6: 4-0 against the team out west.
- 3:03:39Speaker 1: Never.
- 3:03:39Speaker 3: We partied. Which one's the team out west?
- 3:03:41Speaker 6: I can't say it. You know the team out west.
- 3:03:43Speaker 1: They're gold.
- 3:03:45Speaker 3: Oh, Georgia Tech?
- 3:03:46Speaker 1: No. Hell no.
- 3:03:47Speaker 3: That's the ACC teams.
- 3:03:49Speaker 6: I'm talking about the Seminoles, man.
- 3:03:51Speaker 3: You don't make me say that.
- 3:03:53Speaker 1: Fuck.
- 3:03:54Speaker 6: We can't say that. That's against the rules. Forgive me,
- 3:03:56Speaker 6: Gator Nation.
- 3:03:57Speaker 1: Forgive me.
- 3:03:57Speaker 3: Sorry about that. My fault, my fault, my fault.
- 3:03:58Speaker 6: No, yeah. 4-0 against them. We knew everybody got to
- 3:04:02Speaker 6: play against them. So we would, just being honest, I'm
- 3:04:04Speaker 6: very honest, that week when we played against Florida State,
- 3:04:07Speaker 6: we knew that was our time. Because we knew we
- 3:04:09Speaker 6: was about to play for the SEC Championship every year.
- 3:04:12Speaker 6: Even our sophomore year. Y'all remember when... What's the running
- 3:04:16Speaker 6: back that played for LSU? He got all those 4-4-1s
- 3:04:18Speaker 6: on us. I don't know if y'all remember that.
- 3:04:20Speaker 3: Hester. Hester.
- 3:04:22Speaker 6: They won that championship that year. We had their ass
- 3:04:24Speaker 6: on the ropes, sophomores. They got like six or seven 4-4-1s.
- 3:04:28Speaker 6: I felt like I let us down again. I couldn't
- 3:04:29Speaker 6: stop them, but D-line was young. But six 4-4-1s, seven 4-4-1s,
- 3:04:34Speaker 6: that's totally on me. And I took that shit personal.
- 3:04:36Speaker 6: And they went on to win the national championship. They
- 3:04:38Speaker 6: were fighting for their life in this motherfucking valley. And
- 3:04:41Speaker 6: they go on to win the National Championship. So we
- 3:04:43Speaker 6: go to the National Championship. Freshman year, should have went
- 3:04:45Speaker 6: that year. The team that beat us, they one-botted the
- 3:04:49Speaker 6: chinny-chin high on my chin. They barely, you know, they
- 3:04:51Speaker 6: took curb business, and they went on to win. Next year,
- 3:04:54Speaker 6: National Championship. Win that shit easy. Next year, senior year, undefeated.
- 3:04:58Speaker 6: 24 in a row. The person decides to leave. And
- 3:05:02Speaker 6: I ain't taking nothing from Bama. You know, they whooped
- 3:05:04Speaker 6: us in the goddamn SEC. They came to play. We
- 3:05:07Speaker 6: was the standard. Saban said it, not my words. I'm
- 3:05:10Speaker 6: gonna bring it back again because that made me feel good.
- 3:05:13Speaker 6: All that shit we did and stuff I was like,
- 3:05:15Speaker 6: I'm going to turn you guys into the NCAA.
- 3:05:18Speaker 3: It was worth it.
- 3:05:19Speaker 1: It was worth it.
- 3:05:19Speaker 6: I know this shit was illegal, Mickey Marotti.
- 3:05:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:05:22Speaker 6: But it turned us into monsters. Like, that way we
- 3:05:26Speaker 6: was training, you would have thought we was going to
- 3:05:27Speaker 6: war somewhere.
- 3:05:28Speaker 3: Y'all were doing like 3 a.m. workouts.
- 3:05:29Speaker 6: Bro, all of that shit. Everything you can imagine we did.
- 3:05:32Speaker 6: My alarm was set at 4.30. Like, I didn't even
- 3:05:34Speaker 6: have to change. My body eventually started waking up. You know,
- 3:05:38Speaker 6: I didn't really sleep a lot in college. Cause you, you, you,
- 3:05:40Speaker 6: if you sleep and you getting behind, I'm trying to
- 3:05:43Speaker 6: get an edge. I want to get that first workout
- 3:05:44Speaker 6: in so I can compete. Not only in the SEC,
- 3:05:47Speaker 6: I'm thinking about them backers in the country, in the nation.
- 3:05:49Speaker 6: Is that motherfucker, is that Dick Buck's candidate? Is he
- 3:05:52Speaker 6: up working out yet? Cause if he not, I already
- 3:05:54Speaker 6: got an edge on him. I'm already up. And guess
- 3:05:57Speaker 6: who else? My teammates like, B, what workout you in? Boy,
- 3:06:00Speaker 6: what do you mean?
- 3:06:01Speaker 1: What type of work?
- 3:06:02Speaker 6: I'm getting the first one that's available so I can
- 3:06:04Speaker 6: scare y'all motherfuckers for the rest of the day. Like,
- 3:06:05Speaker 6: that shit hard as hell.
- 3:06:07Speaker 3: I know y'all knew that shit.
- 3:06:09Speaker 1: I was like, hey.
- 3:06:11Speaker 6: Y'all better get y'all mom right. You know, I done
- 3:06:14Speaker 6: went through it.
- 3:06:15Speaker 3: The worst thing ever is when you walk in like,
- 3:06:18Speaker 3: at 6 a.m. is the first workout. You walk in
- 3:06:20Speaker 3: at 8 a.m., this dude's laying down in the locker
- 3:06:23Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my God. And they're like, bro,
- 3:06:25Speaker 3: I'm telling you. Hey, just buckle up today.
- 3:06:27Speaker 6: And sometimes they exaggerate too. You're like, well, I guess
- 3:06:29Speaker 6: it was regular. But I started doing it.
- 3:06:31Speaker 3: But if you did it first, you're like, okay, you
- 3:06:34Speaker 3: set the tone the rest of the day. I did
- 3:06:35Speaker 3: it every time.
- 3:06:36Speaker 6: But eventually- everybody started noticing we all in that bitch early.
- 3:06:40Speaker 6: The guys, then it's just, we one group, everybody come,
- 3:06:44Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying? But obviously the team was
- 3:06:45Speaker 6: so big, you couldn't do that. But the guys that,
- 3:06:47Speaker 6: we was in that bitch together. We working out together.
- 3:06:49Speaker 6: We gonna hold each other accountable. Like, oh, you ain't
- 3:06:52Speaker 6: get better today, dog. You ain't empty the tank in here. Yeah,
- 3:06:55Speaker 6: I know it's week six.
- 3:06:56Speaker 1: We all hurt.
- 3:06:56Speaker 6: We all feel bad, but you shitted us today. And
- 3:06:59Speaker 6: I said, you don't like it?
- 3:07:00Speaker 3: Do something.
- 3:07:01Speaker 1: Do something.
- 3:07:02Speaker 4: There's one here from Thomas Black who said, what exactly
- 3:07:05Speaker 4: was said between you and Tebow at halftime of the
- 3:07:07Speaker 4: Kentucky game in 09? It was referenced in the Netflix
- 3:07:10Speaker 4: documentary about the Meyer years in Gainesville, but only discussed
- 3:07:14Speaker 4: in vague generalizations.
- 3:07:15Speaker 1: That's funny.
- 3:07:16Speaker 6: Thomas, how about this? I was in street clothes when
- 3:07:19Speaker 6: that happened. I was serving a one-game suspension when I was, yeah.
- 3:07:23Speaker 3: Gouging eyes.
- 3:07:24Speaker 1: Maybe.
- 3:07:24Speaker 3: It could have been that. I got suspended. You got
- 3:07:27Speaker 3: suspended for gouging eyes?
- 3:07:28Speaker 6: I got suspended a couple times for some shit. I
- 3:07:31Speaker 6: still was able to break all the records, though. I
- 3:07:33Speaker 6: still got them, too.
- 3:07:35Speaker 3: So your halftime, we can tell you. So, no, it's
- 3:07:37Speaker 3: Mississippi State. This reference right here?
- 3:07:41Speaker 6: Yeah, that's Mississippi State. Bro, this our senior year. We undefeated.
- 3:07:45Speaker 6: We done came back to win it all.
- 3:07:47Speaker 1: And Tebow.
- 3:07:48Speaker 6: It's playing horrible. And Dan Mullin didn't say nothing to him.
- 3:07:52Speaker 6: Urban Meyer didn't say nothing to him. And I'm in
- 3:07:54Speaker 6: street clothes. I'm like, I ain't out here helping or
- 3:07:57Speaker 6: doing nothing to contribute to the success. We got to,
- 3:07:59Speaker 6: you know, younger players playing in my role. I let
- 3:08:02Speaker 6: the team down. I already feel bad.
- 3:08:04Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, T-Bone, he never really played bad.
- 3:08:06Speaker 6: He always played pretty good. Like, you know what I'm saying?
- 3:08:08Speaker 6: And when somebody was playing bad, it ain't that we
- 3:08:11Speaker 6: calling you out or seeing you out. No, we all
- 3:08:13Speaker 6: can get corrected and get, as our brother's keeper, I'm
- 3:08:16Speaker 6: going to be honest with you. Hey, pick it up.
- 3:08:18Speaker 3: Step it up.
- 3:08:18Speaker 1: What is that?
- 3:08:19Speaker 6: I think he threw like two picks for touchdowns. Two picks.
- 3:08:23Speaker 6: I've never even heard of this. I think this kid
- 3:08:25Speaker 6: might've went first round, second round, right off that one game.
- 3:08:27Speaker 6: I don't know what type of pro he turned into,
- 3:08:29Speaker 6: but y'all might have to look that up. But anyway, he,
- 3:08:32Speaker 6: you know, I felt like he was throwing the game,
- 3:08:34Speaker 6: like not on purpose, but he was just playing bad.
- 3:08:36Speaker 6: And I went to him, I'm like, hey man, I
- 3:08:38Speaker 6: ain't come back for that. Like to lose right against
- 3:08:41Speaker 6: Mississippi State? Come on, they ain't playing for nothing. This
- 3:08:44Speaker 6: is they championship, literally. And we feeling, we going to
- 3:08:47Speaker 6: have time. I feel like we was losing. Then we
- 3:08:49Speaker 6: get in there and I, you know, I obviously go straight.
- 3:08:52Speaker 6: Urban ain't saying nothing to him. Mullen ain't saying nothing
- 3:08:54Speaker 6: to him. Any of us, anybody can get coached and
- 3:08:56Speaker 6: get corrected and get called out to pick your shit up.
- 3:09:00Speaker 1: What Saban say?
- 3:09:01Speaker 3: Anybody can get an ass chewing.
- 3:09:02Speaker 6: You know what I'm talking about?
- 3:09:04Speaker 1: Anybody.
- 3:09:06Speaker 6: Obviously, hell yeah. Like I'm watching this shit fall apart
- 3:09:09Speaker 6: right before my eyes and.
- 3:09:10Speaker 3: I can't do a motherfucking thing about it.
- 3:09:12Speaker 6: I'm in street clothes because I've already made a mistake
- 3:09:14Speaker 6: and fucked up and let the team down and, you know,
- 3:09:16Speaker 6: did something that.
- 3:09:18Speaker 3: Obviously, they knew what I was on, because I've been
- 3:09:20Speaker 3: doing that shit since third grade. Now, is this you
- 3:09:22Speaker 3: going up to him individually, or is this in front
- 3:09:24Speaker 3: of the squad?
- 3:09:25Speaker 6: Yeah, in front of the whole team. We was a family.
- 3:09:26Speaker 6: We ain't had none of that. Why would I go
- 3:09:29Speaker 6: to him and pull him aside or something? He can
- 3:09:31Speaker 6: take constructive criticism. We've been together since we was 17
- 3:09:34Speaker 6: years old. It's our senior year, and everything is on
- 3:09:37Speaker 6: the line. We came back. We could be in the
- 3:09:39Speaker 6: NFL playing. We literally came back. Nothing more to winning
- 3:09:44Speaker 6: three national championships, to win that third national championship. That
- 3:09:47Speaker 6: was the goal. Like, just imagine the mentality from that
- 3:09:53Speaker 6: spring all the way leading up into the SEC championship
- 3:09:56Speaker 6: and everybody, you getting their best game every Saturday. And
- 3:10:00Speaker 6: me personally, I wasn't surprised. That's why I came to Florida.
- 3:10:02Speaker 6: Cause I wanted your best shot. I thought we was,
- 3:10:04Speaker 6: I thought we was that, you know, the standard, you know,
- 3:10:07Speaker 6: obviously we was.
- 3:10:08Speaker 3: So he's only the greatest college coach ever to do it.
- 3:10:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:10:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:10:13Speaker 6: You know, outside of Urban Meyer, you know, he got
- 3:10:15Speaker 6: the most, you know, he got the most rings. So
- 3:10:18Speaker 6: I got to give it to Coach. I feel like
- 3:10:20Speaker 6: if Coach Meyer stay, I think he, you know, win
- 3:10:23Speaker 6: a couple of them against him.
- 3:10:25Speaker 3: You, so what'd you say? What exactly did you say
- 3:10:27Speaker 3: to Tim?
- 3:10:28Speaker 6: Not just, hey, man, you got to get going. You
- 3:10:31Speaker 6: got to play better. Like, what you doing? Basically, just,
- 3:10:33Speaker 6: you know, having a couple. That's what we always did. Like,
- 3:10:35Speaker 6: it's been plenty of times I'm running on the field.
- 3:10:38Speaker 6: He's like, give me the ball back, B. Go make
- 3:10:39Speaker 6: a play.
- 3:10:40Speaker 1: Get going.
- 3:10:41Speaker 6: I need you to do something. And I'm like, yeah,
- 3:10:43Speaker 6: I needed that. Like, I struggled during the offseason. Like,
- 3:10:46Speaker 6: I was an All-American, team captain, everything. And from sophomore year, All-American,
- 3:10:50Speaker 6: first-time All-American, the offseason's It was very difficult for me
- 3:10:54Speaker 6: because it wasn't no likes, wasn't no fans. I couldn't
- 3:10:57Speaker 6: be a showman. It was just me and the work
- 3:10:58Speaker 6: and my teammates. And those off-seasons used to be long.
- 3:11:01Speaker 6: Like you said, you would get to leave a week,
- 3:11:03Speaker 6: if you're lucky, two, the whole time. So my teammates
- 3:11:08Speaker 6: literally drug me through the off-seasons every time. I struggled
- 3:11:11Speaker 6: because it's something I wasn't really good at. But I
- 3:11:13Speaker 6: gave it my all once I finally committed. And it
- 3:11:16Speaker 6: was like, fuck it, I know I ain't the strongest.
- 3:11:18Speaker 6: Because I get 225 on my best day maybe four
- 3:11:20Speaker 6: or five times, guys.
- 3:11:21Speaker 1: Oh, Jesus. Yeah, I put you.
- 3:11:24Speaker 3: Bro, how you so big and not that strong?
- 3:11:26Speaker 6: Retarded strength or something. I don't know, but people like, boy,
- 3:11:31Speaker 6: you got some crack. Like, how is you struggling with
- 3:11:34Speaker 6: 225 and that man that's 340, one of the strongest
- 3:11:36Speaker 6: people on the team, he can't do nothing with me.
- 3:11:39Speaker 6: And I'm going to tell him, hey, you finna have
- 3:11:41Speaker 6: a long day out here today.
- 3:11:42Speaker 1: You know what?
- 3:11:42Speaker 6: I might not let you block me for the whole practice.
- 3:11:45Speaker 1: That get him going.
- 3:11:46Speaker 6: He like, oh, I'm going to block his ass one time.
- 3:11:48Speaker 6: He nice and all, but shit, you put your pants
- 3:11:50Speaker 6: on just like I do. Come on now. But that, like,
- 3:11:53Speaker 6: it's almost, I ain't saying I'm like Ali, but I
- 3:11:55Speaker 6: feel like Muhammad Ali used to talk so much shit
- 3:11:58Speaker 6: that once you take it there, you got.
- 3:12:01Speaker 3: To back it up now.
- 3:12:01Speaker 1: You don't talk all this shit for months.
- 3:12:04Speaker 3: It's time to fight now.
- 3:12:05Speaker 6: I feel like he used to do that so he could,
- 3:12:07Speaker 6: you know, rise to the occasion. And I used to
- 3:12:09Speaker 6: do the same thing. I'm talking shit. That's why I
- 3:12:12Speaker 6: couldn't understand why Bill drafted me to New England. I'm
- 3:12:15Speaker 6: not the Patriot Way type of guy. I've never been.
- 3:12:17Speaker 6: I'm going to talk my shit in the media, then
- 3:12:19Speaker 6: go live on that and stand on that shit on
- 3:12:22Speaker 6: Saturday and Sunday. I got to do this to hype
- 3:12:25Speaker 6: myself up so I can play to that level. I
- 3:12:27Speaker 6: can't just be conservative like, yeah, I'm going to go
- 3:12:30Speaker 6: out and play hard, great effort, sign in football, and
- 3:12:35Speaker 6: see what we can do. No, I'm going to go

- 3:12:40Speaker 6: of his family, his wife and kids, going to watch
- 3:12:42Speaker 6: me put him to sleep. Straight like that. And it
- 3:12:46Speaker 6: ain't personal. This is my job. After the game, we
- 3:12:50Speaker 6: can shake hands and get some sushi. I like nigiri
- 3:12:53Speaker 6: and sake too.

- 3:13:56Speaker 6: Like, come on, we healthy. We got to live a dream.
- 3:14:00Speaker 6: Do something a lot of people don't get to do. 1%
- 3:14:02Speaker 6: get to go out there. and play a game they love.
- 3:14:05Speaker 6: You know, play a game that they've always played since
- 3:14:07Speaker 6: they was little kids. I don't know how long y'all,
- 3:14:09Speaker 6: when did y'all start? Y'all probably was young, right?
- 3:14:10Speaker 3: I played when I was eight and I didn't play
- 3:14:11Speaker 3: a game until I was 14. Really?
- 3:14:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:14:13Speaker 6: You played another sport.
- 3:14:14Speaker 3: I was a bitch, dude, until I hit puberty.
- 3:14:16Speaker 1: Swear.
- 3:14:17Speaker 3: Swear. This size. I was always tall, but I was like,
- 3:14:20Speaker 3: I look like Mike from Monsters, Inc. You had to
- 3:14:22Speaker 3: get on that creatine, you know? Yeah, a little creatine. Yeah. But, dude,
- 3:14:25Speaker 3: I was like, I quit hockey because I was afraid
- 3:14:27Speaker 3: of getting checked.
- 3:14:28Speaker 6: But hockey is a physical, tough sport.
- 3:14:31Speaker 3: Bro, I know, but then they put checking in, like peewees.
- 3:14:34Speaker 1: What's check? What is this?
- 3:14:35Speaker 3: Like hitting. You get hitting.
- 3:14:36Speaker 6: Oh, just like a blind hit.
- 3:14:38Speaker 3: No, no, like checking. Bro, you don't watch hockey?
- 3:14:40Speaker 1: You've never watched hockey?
- 3:14:41Speaker 3: Nah. Like you check them, like you go hit them.
- 3:14:42Speaker 3: So they used to try to get me to go
- 3:14:43Speaker 3: to the ones in Boston.
- 3:14:44Speaker 1: I never went.
- 3:14:44Speaker 3: Bro, it's such a fun sport to watch.
- 3:14:46Speaker 6: Bro, bro, bro. So it was a guy up there.
- 3:14:50Speaker 6: We had an autograph signing together, appearance or whatever. He
- 3:14:53Speaker 6: was like seven foot. I thought he played for the
- 3:14:57Speaker 6: Celtics because rest in peace, I got to do an
- 3:14:59Speaker 6: autograph signing with Bill Russell. You know, I was like,
- 3:15:01Speaker 6: how does Mr. Russell, how does it feel to have
- 3:15:04Speaker 6: all those championship rings? Like, you know, saying I've been
- 3:15:08Speaker 6: winning my whole life. You know what I'm saying? That
- 3:15:09Speaker 6: was a special moment to be right there. But this gentleman,
- 3:15:12Speaker 6: he gets up. I'm like, damn, I wonder what position
- 3:15:13Speaker 6: he played. They said, B, he a hockey player. And
- 3:15:16Speaker 6: guess what?
- 3:15:16Speaker 1: They said, B.
- 3:15:17Speaker 3: He plays just like you play, but on the ice.
- 3:15:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:15:21Speaker 3: He was a force, like a force to wreck. He
- 3:15:23Speaker 3: would fuck people up. And he also like- Seven foot
- 3:15:27Speaker 3: on skates, bro. Yes. They had to change the size
- 3:15:29Speaker 3: of the stick you could have for him.
- 3:15:31Speaker 1: Because he what?
- 3:15:32Speaker 3: He was too tall. So the stick had to come
- 3:15:34Speaker 3: take your chin or something like that. That was like
- 3:15:35Speaker 3: the regulation. You couldn't have it longer than that.
- 3:15:37Speaker 1: He would be at an advantage.
- 3:15:38Speaker 3: Yeah, he'd be at an advantage because the stick's longer.
- 3:15:40Speaker 3: I'm not like super savvy on the hockey game.
- 3:15:43Speaker 6: You played it since you was little?
- 3:15:44Speaker 3: No, I played when I was little. Quit once checking
- 3:15:46Speaker 3: was allowed. And then baseball is afraid of getting hit
- 3:15:48Speaker 3: by the ball. So I quit that too. And then
- 3:15:51Speaker 3: I hit puberty. And I was like, yo, I'm about,
- 3:15:53Speaker 3: I'm about physicality. Yeah, all of a sudden I was like,
- 3:15:55Speaker 3: I'm about physicality.
- 3:15:57Speaker 1: Straight up.
- 3:15:57Speaker 3: All about it.
- 3:15:58Speaker 6: When your voice got deep.
- 3:15:59Speaker 3: I don't know if my voice has still gotten deep.
- 3:16:01Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for it to happen.
- 3:16:03Speaker 3: I'm still waiting for it to happen. You know when your.
- 3:16:05Speaker 6: Voice change though, you be looking at yourself, you're like, what,
- 3:16:07Speaker 6: it happened to me. Cause my voice is a little, and.
- 3:16:09Speaker 1: I was like, oh.
- 3:16:11Speaker 3: Yeah, hell yeah. I got a little hurt on my arms, yeah.
- 3:16:14Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, you're supposed to get a couple
- 3:16:15Speaker 3: of hairs done and you're like.
- 3:16:17Speaker 6: Oh fuck, I'm a man now. That's crazy, dog. Your
- 3:16:19Speaker 6: play style, I would have never guessed that shit. I
- 3:16:20Speaker 6: thought you was biting shit.
- 3:16:21Speaker 3: No, when I was younger, I was out doing whatever,
- 3:16:25Speaker 3: being bad. Yeah, of course.
- 3:16:27Speaker 6: Being a boy, all of us did it. You supposed
- 3:16:28Speaker 6: to be outside.
- 3:16:29Speaker 3: I got in trouble in middle school. And then my
- 3:16:32Speaker 3: freshman year high school, my dad's like, you were playing football.
- 3:16:33Speaker 3: You have too much anger. Best thing happened to you.
- 3:16:35Speaker 3: We went 8-0. I was all about it, dude. Yeah.
- 3:16:37Speaker 3: And then I didn't play tackle until my senior year
- 3:16:39Speaker 3: and then I was all about physicality. Yes.
- 3:16:42Speaker 6: Just because you had, you was like a hothead.
- 3:16:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it just, yeah. Just, you just needed confidence.
- 3:16:46Speaker 3: I said, I think I lacked confidence until I started
- 3:16:49Speaker 3: playing football in my teenage years. Cause I wasn't like
- 3:16:51Speaker 3: what you're talking about. We were like biting heads off
- 3:16:54Speaker 3: and I was like, Oh fuck.
- 3:16:55Speaker 6: You know, like, you know, like, I don't know if
- 3:16:59Speaker 6: y'all ever seen, I'm sure y'all, Oh shit.
- 3:17:01Speaker 3: That's who besides you are.
- 3:17:02Speaker 6: I'm sure y'all seen like, you know, say a litter,
- 3:17:05Speaker 6: pit bull litter or something. There's a puppy in that
- 3:17:08Speaker 6: litter that he come out biting. I was that puppy.
- 3:17:11Speaker 3: I didn't know.
- 3:17:12Speaker 1: It was instincts.
- 3:17:13Speaker 6: I didn't know nothing but to bite your head off.
- 3:17:15Speaker 6: I didn't know it was the other way to do it.
- 3:17:17Speaker 6: I didn't know you could take plays off and halfway
- 3:17:19Speaker 6: do stuff. Because my big brother set the standard right away.
- 3:17:23Speaker 6: You go out there and embarrass me, embarrass our name,
- 3:17:25Speaker 6: you're going to have to see me then. Cause you,
- 3:17:29Speaker 6: you bring on a little brother.
- 3:17:30Speaker 3: Like, you know what I'm saying?
- 3:17:30Speaker 6: That was, you know, and I, you know, I kind
- 3:17:33Speaker 6: of felt like I had to, I wanted his approval obviously,
- 3:17:37Speaker 6: but I love like that. His friends was like, Hey,
- 3:17:40Speaker 6: he going to be all right. That's brilliant. I used
- 3:17:42Speaker 6: to get out like, you know, You know what I'm saying?
- 3:17:44Speaker 6: My mother goes, no, I'm like, I'm all right. You know,
- 3:17:47Speaker 6: I'm doing something right. But my brother was just teaching
- 3:17:48Speaker 6: me the foundation of the game. You're going to play defense.
- 3:17:52Speaker 6: This is how it's played. You got to be aggressive.
- 3:17:54Speaker 6: You got to be violent. Can't be no big, nice,
- 3:17:57Speaker 6: soft guy. We not doing that. I'll come drag you
- 3:18:00Speaker 6: out the field myself if I allow that. And that
- 3:18:03Speaker 6: was the best thing that happened. It was kind of
- 3:18:04Speaker 6: like when you had your crossroads with your dad.
- 3:18:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:18:07Speaker 6: You playing football, end of discussion. And I think parents
- 3:18:10Speaker 6: should do that with their kids. Like, these little jits
- 3:18:12Speaker 6: got too many choices, too many options. You remember back
- 3:18:15Speaker 6: in the day? I don't know if y'all close enough.
- 3:18:18Speaker 6: You close enough. Whatever was cooked, that's what your ass eating.
- 3:18:21Speaker 3: Oh, I don't like that.
- 3:18:22Speaker 1: I don't want that. Oh, yeah.
- 3:18:23Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
- 3:18:24Speaker 1: Man, you're going to starve then.
- 3:18:25Speaker 3: Don't you say that to me.
- 3:18:27Speaker 6: I'm telling you, like, they got too many options now.
- 3:18:29Speaker 6: It's the same thing with the portal. Like, I'll tell
- 3:18:31Speaker 6: y'all a funny story. I got two good Florida stories.
- 3:18:33Speaker 6: I'm going to give y'all these two. So, That sophomore season,
- 3:18:37Speaker 6: when all the seniors, we're going into our sophomore off season,
- 3:18:41Speaker 6: all the seniors graduated. We had that experienced team, a
- 3:18:44Speaker 6: lot of veteran players in college, right? So my second year,
- 3:18:48Speaker 6: Mickey Marotti literally kills us, worked the shit out of us,
- 3:18:51Speaker 6: killed us, like trying to make us quit. You know,
- 3:18:53Speaker 6: he trying to break us down and build us up. Well,
- 3:18:55Speaker 6: he brought me all the way to fuck down. I
- 3:18:56Speaker 6: was ready to transfer. And Percy Harvin was too. And
- 3:18:59Speaker 6: me and Brandon James was too. So that was my brothers.
- 3:19:03Speaker 6: You see all of us together. You see one, you
- 3:19:05Speaker 6: gonna see the other. We stayed together. That was a
- 3:19:07Speaker 6: tight-knit group.
- 3:19:08Speaker 1: Just me, B.
- 3:19:09Speaker 9: James.
- 3:19:09Speaker 6: So we took it our own to go Prince Urban
- 3:19:13Speaker 6: about why we working so motherfucking hard. I went in
- 3:19:16Speaker 6: the office, me, Percy, Brandon James.
- 3:19:17Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 3:19:18Speaker 3: I just came for moral support. I wasn't going back
- 3:19:21Speaker 3: to shit because shit. But the homies was when I
- 3:19:25Speaker 3: was like, yo, let's go here and tell them, because
- 3:19:27Speaker 3: this shit is hard.
- 3:19:28Speaker 6: I can't play football, man.
- 3:19:29Speaker 3: Sign up for this shit.
- 3:19:31Speaker 6: This shit is not that serious, dog. Football, and I'm
- 3:19:34Speaker 6: having my way as a friend. Your most invested players
- 3:19:37Speaker 6: couldn't do nothing with me. I'm running through their face,
- 3:19:39Speaker 6: killing their ass. I was a big Sean Minerman fan, too,
- 3:19:42Speaker 6: back in the day, so I used to knock shit
- 3:19:43Speaker 6: out and hit the lights out.
- 3:19:45Speaker 1: I like that.
- 3:19:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:19:47Speaker 1: Shout out, you know, Sean.
- 3:19:48Speaker 6: So you go to Urban's office. Yeah, so we go
- 3:19:50Speaker 6: to the office, we busting that bitch. He's sitting there
- 3:19:52Speaker 6: at the desk. He's like, what can I do for
- 3:19:54Speaker 6: you guys? Pete started talking. He's like, hey, Colt, this
- 3:19:58Speaker 6: offseason stuff too hard. Like your best three players on
- 3:20:02Speaker 6: the team, captains, come in there telling Urban Meyer that
- 3:20:04Speaker 6: the offseason is too hard. We can't take it no more.
- 3:20:08Speaker 6: And if you keep this shit up, we transferring. They said, we,
- 3:20:12Speaker 6: in my mind, I was like, I ain't leaving this motherfucker,
- 3:20:15Speaker 6: but I go in here, I'ma let you speak.
- 3:20:16Speaker 3: But, you know, because it is what it is. So
- 3:20:19Speaker 3: he look at us.
- 3:20:20Speaker 6: And he's just like, truck is heated. He's like, are
- 3:20:26Speaker 6: you fucking shitting me? The court guys on the team
- 3:20:30Speaker 6: don't want to fucking grind and work? You're going to
- 3:20:33Speaker 6: whine and complain about grinding at the University of Florida?
- 3:20:38Speaker 6: National champs? Two weeks later, we played basketball. We played
- 3:20:46Speaker 6: basketball for about, I ain't going to say two weeks,
- 3:20:48Speaker 6: but about a week.
- 3:20:49Speaker 1: We played.
- 3:20:49Speaker 6: We stopped working. We stopped training and played basketball for
- 3:20:53Speaker 6: a week. Then they got back to kicking our ass again, though.
- 3:20:56Speaker 3: It's your little week of basketball.
- 3:20:58Speaker 6: We got a week of basketball. Right in the middle
- 3:20:59Speaker 6: of Matt Drills, we started playing basketball. But it was
- 3:21:02Speaker 6: like competitive, but you know, it made it fun. But
- 3:21:05Speaker 6: we just, we was a young team. We didn't know
- 3:21:07Speaker 6: how to respond to that shit. They trained us like,
- 3:21:09Speaker 6: what's worse than basic training? I can imagine that shit
- 3:21:11Speaker 6: trying to be a soldier. Shout out to all the
- 3:21:13Speaker 6: military guys because, hey, I thought I was a bad motherfucker,
- 3:21:17Speaker 6: but I ain't built for that. I know I ain't.
- 3:21:20Speaker 6: And thank you for your services, guys. But I wasn't
- 3:21:23Speaker 6: one of them. You know what I'm saying? I used
- 3:21:24Speaker 6: to get so frustrated when... Urban and Bill would bring
- 3:21:27Speaker 6: like the SEAL team and shit in there to talk
- 3:21:28Speaker 6: to us. I'm like, I get what y'all trying to say,
- 3:21:31Speaker 6: but this is a little different. If I make a mistake,
- 3:21:33Speaker 6: I get to do it over again and try the
- 3:21:36Speaker 6: next play. If this guy make a mistake, he got
- 3:21:38Speaker 6: to go, you know, tell that family that we lost,
- 3:21:40Speaker 6: you know, I dropped the ball and your husband or
- 3:21:43Speaker 6: son is gone. Like, this ain't the same, coach, but
- 3:21:45Speaker 6: I get what you're trying to do. You know, we
- 3:21:47Speaker 6: all together, the brotherhood and one for one.
- 3:21:50Speaker 3: No man drops a gun. I understand all that, but
- 3:21:52Speaker 3: it ain't the same. Bullets flyin'. Bullets flying, and I
- 3:21:56Speaker 3: ain't built for that. All this shit, no, we go
- 3:21:57Speaker 3: to war, let them on them.
- 3:21:59Speaker 6: All day long, baby. But quit bringing them SEALs in there,
- 3:22:02Speaker 6: because they the real, they the real soldiers. They the
- 3:22:05Speaker 6: real damn superstars.
- 3:22:07Speaker 3: How much of.
- 3:22:08Speaker 4: A problem was your guys' roster? The fact that y'all
- 3:22:16Speaker 4: are winning so much, because again, something that they didn't,
- 3:22:19Speaker 4: something that they wasn't talking about a whole lot in
- 3:22:21Speaker 4: the documentary was how all the arrests, all the stuff,
- 3:22:24Speaker 4: you're going in your head coach's office talking about we
- 3:22:26Speaker 4: working too fucking hard.
- 3:22:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. Could you imagine going to somebody's office?
- 3:22:30Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
- 3:22:31Speaker 6: Your best three players. One of your best three players.
- 3:22:33Speaker 3: If I went into Rich Rodriguez or Brady Hook, which,
- 3:22:35Speaker 3: you know, they're not Urban Meyer, but I would never
- 3:22:37Speaker 3: in a million years.
- 3:22:38Speaker 6: He responded just like you thought he would. He was like,
- 3:22:40Speaker 6: are you fucking shitting me?
- 3:22:41Speaker 3: Get the fuck out of my office. He said, we transferring.
- 3:22:44Speaker 3: We out of this bitch. He was like.
- 3:22:48Speaker 6: And that's a true story. Erko, sorry, but I had
- 3:22:51Speaker 6: to share it, you know. And he probably alive. But, like,
- 3:22:55Speaker 6: right then and there, if the portal was available then,
- 3:22:57Speaker 6: our South Asics probably would have jumped in that month.
- 3:22:59Speaker 6: It would have been the biggest mistake.
- 3:23:01Speaker 1: Of our life.
- 3:23:01Speaker 3: It would have been at Wake Forest.
- 3:23:02Speaker 6: Somewhere trash and shit. I probably would have tried to
- 3:23:04Speaker 6: play basketball.
- 3:23:05Speaker 3: Walk on. Let me see what I got at. See
- 3:23:06Speaker 3: if I still got it. Probably get dunked on and
- 3:23:08Speaker 3: all kind of shit.
- 3:23:10Speaker 6: But, yeah, no. He was like, he realized that.
- 3:23:13Speaker 3: He would have been at LSU with Lane Kiffin.
- 3:23:15Speaker 6: I know, I would've took my hat right on there
- 3:23:17Speaker 6: over there at the Bama, because they had, you know,
- 3:23:20Speaker 6: a lot of times people, they was like, don't go
- 3:23:22Speaker 6: to Florida because you a bigger linebacker, they're going to
- 3:23:24Speaker 6: put you in. I'm like, Urban told me he was
- 3:23:26Speaker 6: going to give me an opportunity at Mike Linebacker, and
- 3:23:28Speaker 6: Charlie Strong said that too. So I'm going to go
- 3:23:30Speaker 6: with that. It's like, well, they tell people stuff all
- 3:23:32Speaker 6: the time, not just them, but coaches tell you whatever.
- 3:23:34Speaker 6: That's how it used to be. Because I remember Urban
- 3:23:37Speaker 6: called us Donald out, funny story. Donald out was disappointed
- 3:23:40Speaker 6: that he wasn't the kick returner when he got there
- 3:23:42Speaker 6: as a freshman.
- 3:23:44Speaker 1: Punt return. I said, we got.
- 3:23:47Speaker 6: Freshman All-American Brandon James returning kicks. What are you talking about?
- 3:23:50Speaker 6: He's like, well, he told my parents I was going
- 3:23:52Speaker 6: to get the return kicks. I said, you 6'7, 277,
- 3:23:56Speaker 6: running like a deer now.
- 3:23:57Speaker 2: Beast.
- 3:23:58Speaker 1: Freak.
- 3:23:58Speaker 6: Freak show. Freak show. And he ain't even, he's one
- 3:24:01Speaker 6: of them I had to, you know, stick my foot
- 3:24:03Speaker 6: in his ass sometimes to get him going, get him
- 3:24:05Speaker 6: to practice. But he turned into a hell of a pro.
- 3:24:08Speaker 6: He learned the culture. Like I said, like Cam, I
- 3:24:11Speaker 6: always say this all the time. Cam Newton. Has the
- 3:24:13Speaker 6: best comeback story in sports history. Think about that. He
- 3:24:17Speaker 6: gets knocked off the tip of the cliff, the top
- 3:24:20Speaker 6: of the mountain, knocked all the way down, started at
- 3:24:22Speaker 6: ground zero. Juco, national championship. Goes to Auburn, national championship.
- 3:24:28Speaker 6: First round draft pick, first pick, offensive rookie of the year.
- 3:24:32Speaker 6: Then he goes on to wheels his team to an
- 3:24:35Speaker 6: undefeated season.
- 3:24:37Speaker 4: Almost.
- 3:24:37Speaker 6: And they lose it. Think about that. Most people get knocked,
- 3:24:40Speaker 6: you get knocked out of a program like Florida. They like,
- 3:24:43Speaker 6: they feel like the world's over. But boy, perseverance, the process.
- 3:24:47Speaker 6: He learned how, what it takes to be great.
- 3:24:50Speaker 3: He's like, you know what?
- 3:24:50Speaker 1: This ain't my life.
- 3:24:51Speaker 6: And y'all right. Like that wasn't his first issue. A
- 3:24:53Speaker 6: lot of us had different chances. Urban gave a lot
- 3:24:55Speaker 6: of people different chances, but Tim Tebow just won a
- 3:24:59Speaker 6: Heisman Trophy once. as a sophomore, you know, Cam, you know,
- 3:25:03Speaker 6: they always behind him, you know, T had to come
- 3:25:05Speaker 6: back and like he could leave, he went in the
- 3:25:06Speaker 6: red shirts. I'm like, well, he had a whole nother
- 3:25:08Speaker 6: year that he, you know, before he can become draft eligible.
- 3:25:11Speaker 6: And I think Cam, just at the time, cause I
- 3:25:13Speaker 6: used to tease Cam all the time, he's turned into
- 3:25:15Speaker 6: a great player, but when he was my scout team quarterback,
- 3:25:17Speaker 6: you know, he had three options. He always throw that
- 3:25:21Speaker 6: motherfucker too high, or throw it too low, or throw
- 3:25:25Speaker 6: a damn interception.
- 3:25:27Speaker 1: Those are his three options.
- 3:25:28Speaker 6: When he was, I don't know, he worked his ass off,
- 3:25:30Speaker 6: got in the lap. I'm telling you, he always could run.
- 3:25:32Speaker 6: He always could run. He was decent with running, but obviously,
- 3:25:36Speaker 6: you can't, because I'm going to smoke your ass, you
- 3:25:38Speaker 6: know what I'm saying? And Urban, when Cam would miss
- 3:25:41Speaker 6: class sometimes, and he would do stuff that Urban didn't like.
- 3:25:45Speaker 3: He would put him in the Oklahoma drill with me.
- 3:25:46Speaker 3: He would call me like, Spikes!
- 3:25:48Speaker 1: I'd jump out that bitch.
- 3:25:51Speaker 3: Who won? Cam Newton!
- 3:25:53Speaker 6: I'm like, Coach, come on, dawg. Like, he the backup quarterback.
- 3:25:58Speaker 6: He get hurt, then what?
- 3:26:00Speaker 3: That shit made me mad.
- 3:26:01Speaker 6: And I got a story for that, too. But, yeah,
- 3:26:03Speaker 6: he would, like, put him in there and I'd hit
- 3:26:05Speaker 6: him and shit. I'm like, they thought because he was big.
- 3:26:08Speaker 6: I'm like, I've been hitting shit. That's what I do.
- 3:26:09Speaker 6: I bite shit.
- 3:26:10Speaker 3: I don't give a damn how big you is. Anybody
- 3:26:12Speaker 3: can get smoked out here, especially by me.
- 3:26:14Speaker 6: Especially you ain't been doing no hitting your whole life.
- 3:26:17Speaker 6: I've been hitting shit since I could walk damn near. Literally.
- 3:26:20Speaker 6: Trying to hurt shit. Trying to hurt you. Not just
- 3:26:22Speaker 6: tackle you and get you down.
- 3:26:24Speaker 3: I want to hurt you. This is my goal.
- 3:26:26Speaker 4: Well, it seemed like Coach Maher was trying Cam.
- 3:26:29Speaker 6: Yeah, he was trying, but it was like a mental game.
- 3:26:31Speaker 6: He was definitely, and I didn't want to do it.
- 3:26:33Speaker 6: He's the backup quarterback. He was literally the number two.
- 3:26:35Speaker 6: If T-Bone went down, Cam was in the game. I'm like, coach,
- 3:26:37Speaker 6: come on.
- 3:26:38Speaker 1: But he's like, give him a little beat.
- 3:26:40Speaker 3: You smack him? I give him a little, son. I'm
- 3:26:42Speaker 3: with brother-in-law. I want to win. If something happens to T,
- 3:26:46Speaker 3: Cam got to be ready to play. So boom. So
- 3:26:48Speaker 3: Coach Meyer ain't like Cam.
- 3:26:49Speaker 6: No, I ain't going to say he didn't like him,
- 3:26:51Speaker 6: but he probably didn't like how Cam was handling it.
- 3:26:53Speaker 3: He was very immature. Yeah, if you have to throw
- 3:26:54Speaker 3: him over, you're just starting like linebacker. Yeah, I know.
- 3:26:58Speaker 6: But he know, like, yeah, I still didn't tee off
- 3:27:00Speaker 6: on him like I could have. But I think, you know,
- 3:27:03Speaker 6: things happen, whatever. But, you know, this happened. So one
- 3:27:07Speaker 6: time in practice, here's another one. So one time, ones
- 3:27:09Speaker 6: on ones. It's the end of practice. We're in like
- 3:27:11Speaker 6: a situational period or whatever. It's the end of practice.
- 3:27:14Speaker 6: We normally do competitive stuff at the end, ones on ones.
- 3:27:16Speaker 6: Whoever lose got to run gashes and shit, sprints. So boom,
- 3:27:21Speaker 6: excuse me. It was one-on-one situation and stuff. I think
- 3:27:24Speaker 6: it was fourth, got to have it. I feel like,
- 3:27:26Speaker 6: you know, it was like fourth and short situations and stuff.
- 3:27:29Speaker 6: So they run a little options, little direct runs and
- 3:27:31Speaker 6: stuff like that. So Tebow, you know, gets a option,
- 3:27:35Speaker 6: a read option, whatever, pulls it, and it's me and him.
- 3:27:37Speaker 6: And I just tag them all. Urban say, first down, offense.
- 3:27:43Speaker 6: So he got a red jersey on for one, and
- 3:27:45Speaker 6: he the hot and the chubby. Like, come on, I
- 3:27:47Speaker 6: can't hear him, because you know he ain't getting. He said,
- 3:27:48Speaker 6: that's a hot and chubby winner. You ain't stopping me
- 3:27:50Speaker 6: on Spice.
- 3:27:51Speaker 1: I said, cool.
- 3:27:52Speaker 6: And now if we lose, if the ones beat us,
- 3:27:54Speaker 6: we all got to run.
- 3:27:55Speaker 1: I'm like.
- 3:27:55Speaker 3: You definitely don't want to run.
- 3:27:57Speaker 6: You know I ain't one that's hot as hell. We've
- 3:27:59Speaker 6: been out here for three hours. Like, I've been in
- 3:28:01Speaker 6: those environments. That Bill Belichick shit I went to, I
- 3:28:03Speaker 6: was already programmed. I walked right in. I didn't know
- 3:28:06Speaker 6: no other different. Like, shit, I thought you supposed to
- 3:28:09Speaker 6: get smoked in practice every day, and They're.
- 3:28:11Speaker 3: Like, we pros now. Y'all practice too hard.
- 3:28:13Speaker 4: In New England.
- 3:28:13Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know anything else.
- 3:28:15Speaker 1: But whatever.
- 3:28:15Speaker 6: So we going, so boom, Urban says that. He's like,
- 3:28:19Speaker 6: first down, T-Ball, first down, move the ball. So I'm like,
- 3:28:22Speaker 6: all right, bet.
- 3:28:23Speaker 3: Do it again.
- 3:28:24Speaker 6: Couple of players come by, we get to fourth down again.
- 3:28:26Speaker 6: stop him. But at this time, I mean, at me,
- 3:28:28Speaker 6: it's somebody else tagging him off. He moved, he said, first,
- 3:28:30Speaker 6: I said, coach, that was a tackle. He hit him
- 3:28:32Speaker 6: like three yards in the backfield this time. Like, it
- 3:28:34Speaker 6: ain't even close. Like, with the tag off, right? Urban said,
- 3:28:37Speaker 6: first down. The whole time, we had a younger player
- 3:28:39Speaker 6: in and I didn't even really recognize. I'm ready to
- 3:28:41Speaker 6: wrap this shit up. We've been out here three hours. Like, why,
- 3:28:43Speaker 6: you know, But you know that mental part come in.
- 3:28:45Speaker 6: You want to see if we can operate at a
- 3:28:47Speaker 6: high level while we're tired and fatigued.
- 3:28:49Speaker 1: I get it. Don't do that with.
- 3:28:51Speaker 3: Your three-time All-American linebacker, though. Get me out.
- 3:28:53Speaker 6: You want to do some mental games with the rest
- 3:28:54Speaker 6: of these motherfuckers.
- 3:28:55Speaker 3: Take me out. Because I don't want to run no
- 3:28:57Speaker 3: four-five gases after the practice. Shit.
- 3:29:00Speaker 6: But anyway, cause I wanted these dudes, I emptied the
- 3:29:02Speaker 6: tank at practice too. Like I wanted to get better.
- 3:29:04Speaker 6: So I left, the practices was harder than the games.
- 3:29:06Speaker 6: The games was kind of easy. Practices is what, you know,
- 3:29:08Speaker 6: our practices felt like games. Like I enjoyed practices. Like
- 3:29:12Speaker 6: we literally tried to kill each other. Don't let no
- 3:29:13Speaker 6: scouts come out there. Cause it's going to turn into
- 3:29:15Speaker 6: a game. Coach might call practice. Cause we turned the fuck. Oh,
- 3:29:18Speaker 6: the scouts out here, they taking notes.
- 3:29:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:29:20Speaker 6: I'm finna get on that motherfucking waiting list. Hey, this
- 3:29:23Speaker 6: is my chance to get noticed. And I was like
- 3:29:25Speaker 6: this as a three-time All-American. Still, I want to see.
- 3:29:28Speaker 1: Who over there?
- 3:29:28Speaker 3: Let me see. I think they got a better linebacker.
- 3:29:32Speaker 3: He's going to be a better than this. I'm going
- 3:29:33Speaker 3: to have to step right in and take over the defense.
- 3:29:36Speaker 6: Take over the whole franchise if I can.
- 3:29:38Speaker 3: That's how I always thought. Go big or go home.
- 3:29:40Speaker 6: But anyway, so boom.
- 3:29:42Speaker 3: Come again.
- 3:29:42Speaker 1: Tebow, me and him.
- 3:29:43Speaker 6: Same play.
- 3:29:44Speaker 1: Read option.
- 3:29:45Speaker 3: Me and him.
- 3:29:46Speaker 2: One-on-one.
- 3:29:47Speaker 1: Damn.
- 3:29:48Speaker 6: Kills him. Fall down. I didn't want to do it
- 3:29:51Speaker 6: to him. I said, there you go, coach. Turn up
- 3:29:53Speaker 6: on downs. Spice, what the fuck? Stops practicing. Everybody bring
- 3:29:58Speaker 6: it up.
- 3:29:59Speaker 3: What the fuck?
- 3:30:00Speaker 6: Like the Kia tease said, it ain't personal, bro.
- 3:30:02Speaker 1: I had his show.
- 3:30:03Speaker 6: I don't know why he think you invisible, but- I
- 3:30:07Speaker 6: love you, but I'm one of them. I know you big,
- 3:30:10Speaker 6: but I've been knocking 350, 340 down my whole life.
- 3:30:13Speaker 6: That ain't shit. You like compared to what I normally
- 3:30:16Speaker 6: like to bang with. You know what I'm saying? That's
- 3:30:18Speaker 6: just the facts. He'll tell you this story.
- 3:30:21Speaker 3: What'd he say?
- 3:30:21Speaker 1: So, boom. He didn't say nothing.
- 3:30:22Speaker 6: He knew that shit wasn't personal.
- 3:30:24Speaker 3: He a competitor.
- 3:30:25Speaker 6: He ain't taking none of that. Like, he probably didn't
- 3:30:27Speaker 6: know I was going to strike him, but he had
- 3:30:29Speaker 6: to know it was going to happen because Coach said,
- 3:30:32Speaker 6: you know, he get me going.
- 3:30:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:30:33Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 3:30:34Speaker 3: Talking shit.
- 3:30:35Speaker 1: That's a first down.
- 3:30:35Speaker 6: That's a Hosmer Trophy winner. White room champ. Like, I'm like,
- 3:30:39Speaker 6: this motherfucker really don't know.
- 3:30:40Speaker 3: I'm a whole beast.
- 3:30:43Speaker 6: A whole different specimen. Something different. Literally something different. So
- 3:30:47Speaker 6: I had to smoke him. Calls practice immediately. I go
- 3:30:51Speaker 6: to the locker room.
- 3:30:52Speaker 1: Look down.
- 3:30:53Speaker 6: He said, come to my fucking office. I go up there.
- 3:30:55Speaker 6: Shut the door. I sit down. He said, Spice, what
- 3:30:58Speaker 6: the fuck? That wasn't for you. That's some of the
- 3:31:00Speaker 6: young guys. I need to see them, how they're going
- 3:31:02Speaker 6: to respond in certain situations. They're going to be out
- 3:31:04Speaker 6: there with you.
- 3:31:05Speaker 3: I said, well, damn, coach, let me know that.
- 3:31:07Speaker 1: Why you ain't communicating?
- 3:31:07Speaker 6: He's like, I don't fucking got to communicate shit to you.
- 3:31:09Speaker 6: This is my fucking team.
- 3:31:10Speaker 3: As it is.
- 3:31:11Speaker 6: I love coaches like that. I'm going to follow your lead, coach.
- 3:31:14Speaker 6: I'm going to take your identity.
- 3:31:15Speaker 3: He right.
- 3:31:15Speaker 6: He was right.
- 3:31:16Speaker 1: I was just frustrated. I was ready to go.
- 3:31:18Speaker 6: I shouldn't have done that. And what a tease had
- 3:31:19Speaker 6: I got hurt. I scored his ass like that. Then,
- 3:31:22Speaker 6: and he says to me, he's like, you can't fucking
- 3:31:23Speaker 6: do that. You're the fucking captain and the leader, and
- 3:31:25Speaker 6: these guys watch you. Now, where's the rest of these
- 3:31:28Speaker 6: motherfuckers start hitting T-ball? I said, they ain't gonna do
- 3:31:29Speaker 6: no shit. They ain't that damn stupid. Motherfucker be up at,
- 3:31:32Speaker 6: they'll be at Valdosta State. Straight like that. Soon as
- 3:31:36Speaker 6: you bump into his ass. Same thing with Tom. I
- 3:31:37Speaker 6: seen people, hey, get him up out of here.
- 3:31:39Speaker 3: He don't know how to practice. He almost hurt the money.
- 3:31:41Speaker 6: Almost hurt the franchise. You know how that shit go.
- 3:31:44Speaker 1: But anyway, so boom.
- 3:31:45Speaker 3: Urban look at me and say, what the fuck, Spike?
- 3:31:47Speaker 6: That wasn't for you. It was for a young guy.
- 3:31:49Speaker 6: And he's like, and just imagine, what if he get hurt?
- 3:31:52Speaker 6: Then what we do? What we gonna do? Put Cam
- 3:31:55Speaker 6: Newton in? I was like, yeah, hell yeah. What you
- 3:31:58Speaker 6: talking about? It's so funny he saying that shit. I
- 3:32:02Speaker 6: was like, coach is fucking shout out. But he just
- 3:32:04Speaker 6: wanted to, like Cam didn't understand that playing QB1 at
- 3:32:08Speaker 6: Florida comes with a whole different type of aura. Like
- 3:32:10Speaker 6: you don't get to do the stuff all the rest
- 3:32:12Speaker 6: of the players get to do. Like it's a perception,
- 3:32:14Speaker 6: it's a, demeanor that you carry yourself totally different from
- 3:32:17Speaker 6: everybody else at QB1. Because basically in the media at Florida,
- 3:32:21Speaker 6: if you to be successful at quarterback, you're the reason
- 3:32:23Speaker 6: we win. And if we losing, you're the reason we losing.
- 3:32:26Speaker 6: That's normally historically how it was at QB1. I don't
- 3:32:28Speaker 6: want that type of pressure. And that's why, you know,
- 3:32:31Speaker 6: I didn't wear number one. I put a five in
- 3:32:32Speaker 6: front of that motherfucker. Cause you put on number one,
- 3:32:34Speaker 6: the expectations, the standards is, you know, is at a
- 3:32:36Speaker 6: different level. People expecting you to ball the fuck out.
- 3:32:39Speaker 6: You got on number one.
- 3:32:40Speaker 3: That's just a fact. It is true, though, what you
- 3:32:42Speaker 3: said about Cam, where he basically falls off the top
- 3:32:44Speaker 3: of the mountain and then built his own road.
- 3:32:46Speaker 6: Greatest comeback story ever. And he was at the, we
- 3:32:50Speaker 6: went into the SEC legend thing together. And I was like,
- 3:32:53Speaker 6: can you believe we sitting there talking? I was like,
- 3:32:55Speaker 6: look at us.
- 3:32:56Speaker 1: Look at us.
- 3:32:57Speaker 6: Who would have thought?
- 3:32:59Speaker 3: Who would have thought?
- 3:33:00Speaker 6: That shit come full circle. And I said, Cam, I
- 3:33:02Speaker 6: just want you to know. I used to tease him
- 3:33:04Speaker 6: all the time, you know what I'm saying, fuck with him. Like, just,
- 3:33:06Speaker 6: because I hosted him on his visit. I said, you
- 3:33:09Speaker 6: know what I loved, what I first loved about him?
- 3:33:10Speaker 6: We number one team in the country, killing shit, biting shit.
- 3:33:12Speaker 6: T-Bone just went to Hollywood.
- 3:33:14Speaker 3: I said, Cam, you sure you want to come to Florida?
- 3:33:16Speaker 6: Like, I think, it was after our freshman year, we
- 3:33:18Speaker 6: had just won the national championship, and T-Bone about to
- 3:33:20Speaker 6: take over. Yeah, that's what it was, Chris Lilley. I said,
- 3:33:22Speaker 6: you sure you want to come here? Like, T-Bone, like
- 3:33:23Speaker 6: the quarterback, I said, he's like, okay, I'm coming to compete.
- 3:33:26Speaker 6: I'm coming to take his job, I said. We need
- 3:33:30Speaker 6: these guys like this. And we got a whole bunch
- 3:33:31Speaker 6: of them like that.
- 3:33:32Speaker 3: The next class.
- 3:33:33Speaker 6: That's what it's about. It's about recruiting. We was able
- 3:33:35Speaker 6: to build on what we already had started. And they
- 3:33:37Speaker 6: came in hungry, ambitious, driven. They wanted their PhD in football.
- 3:33:44Speaker 6: Guess what that PhD is? Passionate, hungry, and driven. If
- 3:33:49Speaker 6: you don't want your PhD, you can't come to Florida.
- 3:33:51Speaker 6: Take your ass somewhere else for that NIL money, because
- 3:33:53Speaker 6: that shit mean more here. You put on that gator,
- 3:33:56Speaker 6: the logo, the brand, that shit bigger than you. And
- 3:33:59Speaker 6: if you want to be selfish and make, how can
- 3:34:04Speaker 6: I say it?
- 3:34:04Speaker 1: I ain't going to do that.
- 3:34:06Speaker 6: But if you want to be selfish and make those
- 3:34:08Speaker 6: type of decisions, Like, go somewhere else. We good with that. Like,
- 3:34:12Speaker 6: I get that you a talent and you got a
- 3:34:14Speaker 6: chance because we all got an opportunity to be great.
- 3:34:16Speaker 3: All of us. I used to hate that shit. We're like, oh,
- 3:34:19Speaker 3: that kid gots a lot of potential. That's the one
- 3:34:21Speaker 3: word that used to bother me so much. That guy
- 3:34:23Speaker 3: got a lot of upside. We ain't seen it yet,
- 3:34:25Speaker 3: but we know what's in there. I've never seen it.
- 3:34:27Speaker 3: But he has potential to be elite. Potential ain't nothing
- 3:34:31Speaker 3: but another word for a motherfucker that ain't done shit.
- 3:34:34Speaker 6: That's all potential is. We all got potential to be
- 3:34:36Speaker 6: the fucking United States president, don't we? We potentially... Could
- 3:34:40Speaker 6: be the president.
- 3:34:40Speaker 3: I don't think I could be. Yes, you could.
- 3:34:42Speaker 4: You're right.
- 3:34:42Speaker 6: My fault.
- 3:34:43Speaker 3: You can. Yes, sir, Mr.
- 3:34:44Speaker 1: Spikes.
- 3:34:45Speaker 6: Look who's running the country now. Come on now. Anything's possible. No,
- 3:34:51Speaker 6: I'll tell you good.
- 3:34:52Speaker 1: Donald Trump.
- 3:34:55Speaker 3: The Patriots, when I played for the Patriots, a crowd
- 3:34:58Speaker 3: put me on the phone with Trump.
- 3:35:01Speaker 6: And I'll be damned. I'll give you all that. I
- 3:35:03Speaker 6: wasn't going to talk about this. And it ain't nothing.
- 3:35:04Speaker 6: It ain't really nothing. But I'll never forget. It's probably
- 3:35:07Speaker 6: the Super Bowl year and me and Kraft was like
- 3:35:09Speaker 6: this as my homies, like outsider. I think, you know,
- 3:35:12Speaker 6: Bill was jealous of our relationship sometimes because we hung
- 3:35:14Speaker 6: out outside of the facility. He introduced me to Blue Label,
- 3:35:19Speaker 6: Johnny Walker. The good stuff.
- 3:35:21Speaker 3: I was like, damn. This grown man, this is a
- 3:35:24Speaker 3: whole nother level.
- 3:35:25Speaker 6: He introduced me to that Johnny Walker. That's probably why
- 3:35:27Speaker 6: I couldn't, you know, Get my weight right. Nah, but
- 3:35:32Speaker 6: he's great on, great guy, whatever. So, boom, I'm in
- 3:35:35Speaker 6: the weight room working out, and this is when he
- 3:35:36Speaker 6: was working out, still doing his little thing and stuff.
- 3:35:38Speaker 6: He come in, he's like, Spike, come here a second.
- 3:35:40Speaker 6: And I was like, what's up, boss man? He called
- 3:35:42Speaker 6: himself RKK.
- 3:35:43Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 3:35:44Speaker 3: It was that right-hand bottom corner. Like, where you sign
- 3:35:47Speaker 3: your goddamn check right there. RKK on that one. But
- 3:35:52Speaker 3: he was like, he's like, come here a second.
- 3:35:54Speaker 6: I want you to talk to somebody. I was like,
- 3:35:55Speaker 6: I'll get the phone.
- 3:35:56Speaker 3: I was like, hello?
- 3:35:57Speaker 1: Hello?

- 3:36:00Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm all right. And I guess I can
- 3:36:04Speaker 6: say I ain't meeting him yet, but I talked to him.
- 3:36:06Speaker 6: So I was about to say my third president, because
- 3:36:08Speaker 6: I've got to have a conversation with George W.
- 3:36:11Speaker 3: Bush, just like this for an hour. And Barack Obama.
- 3:36:18Speaker 6: I ain't trying to toot my shit, but how many
- 3:36:20Speaker 6: people can say that they had real conversations with presidents,
- 3:36:25Speaker 6: just like me and you, I sat with George W. Bush,
- 3:36:27Speaker 6: just like this, and we talked about life. Same thing
- 3:36:31Speaker 6: with Barack. I know, and that's going to be the
- 3:36:34Speaker 6: first chapter in.
- 3:36:34Speaker 1: My book, guys.
- 3:36:35Speaker 3: Can't give you all that.
- 3:36:37Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm going to give you the Trump story.
- 3:36:38Speaker 3: So boom, I'm on the phone.
- 3:36:39Speaker 6: I'm like, hey, what's going on? He's like, hey, what's
- 3:36:41Speaker 6: going on? I said, who is this?

- 3:36:43Speaker 6: You don't know who this is? He's like, no, it's Donald.
- 3:36:46Speaker 6: I was like, no. And at the time I was like,
- 3:36:48Speaker 6: I'm from the country.
- 3:36:49Speaker 3: I wasn't really into politics and none of that shit
- 3:36:51Speaker 3: at the time. It was all football.
- 3:36:52Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 3:36:53Speaker 2: Whatever.
- 3:36:53Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I don't. He's like, Home Alone 2?

- 3:37:03Speaker 1: He said, well.
- 3:37:04Speaker 3: Kraft, he loves you. Keep doing your thing.
- 3:37:06Speaker 6: You know, I hope I can meet you one day and,
- 3:37:09Speaker 6: you know, come on down here to play golf one day.
- 3:37:12Speaker 6: Get on the jet with Kraft and y'all come down
- 3:37:14Speaker 6: here and play some golf. You play golf?
- 3:37:15Speaker 3: I was like, nah, not at a time I didn't
- 3:37:17Speaker 3: play golf at all.
- 3:37:17Speaker 6: I was like, nah, he's like, well, just come on

- 3:37:24Speaker 6: meet you and keep doing your thing. You're a great
- 3:37:26Speaker 6: player and the sky's the limit. And I give the
- 3:37:28Speaker 6: phone back to Kraft and he grabs me and say,
- 3:37:31Speaker 6: he'll be the.
- 3:37:31Speaker 3: President of the United States one day.
- 3:37:36Speaker 4: You hit people really, really hard.
- 3:37:37Speaker 6: 2012.
- 3:37:40Speaker 3: Four years later, he was a president.
- 3:37:43Speaker 6: True story. The whole truth and nothing but the truth,
- 3:37:45Speaker 6: so help me God. This happened to Brandon and I'll
- 3:37:48Speaker 6: never forget it. Cause I'll never forget. He said, he said,
- 3:37:50Speaker 6: I own everything in New York. I was like, you know,
- 3:37:53Speaker 6: he's just talking shit. He's like, how you don't know
- 3:37:54Speaker 6: who I am? Then he said, home alone, home alone too.
- 3:37:58Speaker 1: I said, oh yeah.
- 3:37:58Speaker 3: Hey, what's up Mr. Trump? Like that. That's crazy. I'm
- 3:38:02Speaker 3: a home alone too. Cause obviously I love home alone.
- 3:38:04Speaker 6: Like that's a classic. But you know, he said that
- 3:38:07Speaker 6: and I said, oh shit. And I'll never forget when he,
- 3:38:09Speaker 6: you know, that's it. What was it, the 45th, 45th, 45th? Yeah, 45th, 47th.
- 3:38:16Speaker 3: Yo, yo.
- 3:38:16Speaker 6: It's like, Donald Trump. I said, and it immediately, it
- 3:38:20Speaker 6: was like, I went right back to that moment, that
- 3:38:22Speaker 6: conversation when I'm just doing a little workout that I
- 3:38:25Speaker 6: posted probably did the day before. Her on the ass
- 3:38:27Speaker 6: probably was like, come on, Spice, you the only one
- 3:38:29Speaker 6: that ain't worked out yet. You know you're supposed to
- 3:38:30Speaker 6: get that shit yesterday. If I tell Bill, he gonna
- 3:38:32Speaker 6: find your ass. But, you know, I'm in there and
- 3:38:35Speaker 6: Kraft come in there and.
- 3:38:36Speaker 1: He knew I was in there.
- 3:38:36Speaker 3: He's like, give me the phone.
- 3:38:37Speaker 6: I was like, damn, that's great. And I think about
- 3:38:39Speaker 6: all it is, bro. 2012, he holds the phone and say,
- 3:38:43Speaker 6: he'll be the president of America one day, or the
- 3:38:45Speaker 6: United States, like that. I was like, and walked off.
- 3:38:48Speaker 6: I said, I'll be damned.
- 3:38:51Speaker 1: RKK?
- 3:38:52Speaker 3: RKK, right here by the corner down on five. Hey.
- 3:38:56Speaker 6: This is great, man. Thanks, y'all, for having me. This
- 3:38:58Speaker 6: is great. I know I've been running my mouth, but
- 3:39:00Speaker 6: I think I'm here to do that, right?
- 3:39:01Speaker 3: Oh, you absolutely are. You've done an amazing job. Comments
- 3:39:03Speaker 3: are going to go crazy, and we're going to need
- 3:39:04Speaker 3: a part two.
- 3:39:05Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm open, because y'all are going to want that
- 3:39:07Speaker 6: Richie and Cottonito story.
- 3:39:09Speaker 3: I guess so, yeah.
- 3:39:10Speaker 6: You're going to want that one.
- 3:39:12Speaker 3: There's one last question we ask everybody on this podcast.
- 3:39:14Speaker 3: It's the Bud Light question.
- 3:39:16Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:39:16Speaker 3: So anybody, people would do anything for an ice cold
- 3:39:18Speaker 3: Bud Light. What's something that Brandon Virgil Spikes would do
- 3:39:22Speaker 3: anything for?
- 3:39:24Speaker 1: Wow.
- 3:39:24Speaker 3: That's... So we've had people say something as simple as
- 3:39:27Speaker 3: a nice steak dinner.
- 3:39:28Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
- 3:39:29Speaker 3: Someone said go to space.
- 3:39:30Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I got it. Let me get it. And
- 3:39:32Speaker 1: I can't say.
- 3:39:33Speaker 3: Can't say family.
- 3:39:34Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:39:38Speaker 3: Would I give absolutely anything for, give my life for?
- 3:39:41Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying? What would you do anything for? Yeah,
- 3:39:43Speaker 3: what would you do anything for?
- 3:39:45Speaker 1: Absolutely anything.
- 3:39:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:39:47Speaker 6: Probably for that Super Bowl to get there. I would
- 3:39:51Speaker 6: do anything for Wes Welker to use his hands and
- 3:39:54Speaker 6: catch that ball. and we meet at Super Bowl, and
- 3:39:57Speaker 6: I will get the MVP, because Tom never takes the MVP.
- 3:40:00Speaker 6: He gives it to the next guy, because he's a
- 3:40:01Speaker 6: nice guy. And he's been there already. Just a couple championships,
- 3:40:05Speaker 6: all the time.
- 3:40:06Speaker 1: Y'all know.
- 3:40:06Speaker 3: Y'all know the resume. But if Wes Wecker just... He's
- 3:40:15Speaker 3: done a lot of catch.
- 3:40:16Speaker 6: He's a great pass catcher. One of the best ever.
- 3:40:19Speaker 3: Now, who is this Super Bowl against?
- 3:40:20Speaker 1: The Giants.
- 3:40:21Speaker 6: Ooh. When they beat us for the second time. Eli,
- 3:40:24Speaker 6: I can't beat Eli for shit.
- 3:40:26Speaker 3: He's the only man that done won at Florida and
- 3:40:28Speaker 3: beat us in New York twice. Damn. Who would have thought?
- 3:40:32Speaker 3: The only man.
- 3:40:33Speaker 6: And the rest of them, oh for shit. Again, so
- 3:40:35Speaker 6: they ain't won nothing. But Eli ass, whoever the thought,
- 3:40:39Speaker 6: him out of all the manners was going to be
- 3:40:40Speaker 6: the guy to really do what he do. And I
- 3:40:42Speaker 6: respect Eli. He was playing like Terry Bradshaw in that
- 3:40:45Speaker 6: damn Super Bowl.
- 3:40:46Speaker 3: I looked up there.
- 3:40:46Speaker 1: He was four. That was trash.
- 3:40:47Speaker 3: That was a wild card. I said, yeah.
- 3:40:49Speaker 6: Second year in the league. Got me in the Super
- 3:40:51Speaker 6: Bowl already. But that's the one thing. If I could
- 3:40:54Speaker 6: do it all over. Like I said, I've never talked
- 3:40:55Speaker 6: about this publicly. I contemplated suicide after I lost that shit.
- 3:40:59Speaker 1: Real talk.
- 3:41:00Speaker 3: For real. Man. You contemplated what?
- 3:41:02Speaker 6: I contemplated suicide. I was going to be down with
- 3:41:04Speaker 6: this shit.
- 3:41:05Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm checking out.
- 3:41:06Speaker 6: That shit meant that much. Like, I like to win, right?
- 3:41:08Speaker 6: I really like to win, but I hate losing. And
- 3:41:10Speaker 6: to get to the biggest game, the biggest stage, the
- 3:41:14Speaker 6: whole world watching, and to lose that, you had an
- 3:41:16Speaker 6: opportunity and it just... falls out the, your hand just
- 3:41:20Speaker 6: slips right out your hands like that.
- 3:41:22Speaker 1: Like, that's the hard thing to swallow, bro.
- 3:41:23Speaker 6: Imagine getting to the Super Bowl and you play your
- 3:41:25Speaker 6: best game since you've been in the NFL seven years.
- 3:41:27Speaker 6: You play, you have your absolute best game. And you
- 3:41:29Speaker 6: know why I had my best game? Because Bill brought
- 3:41:30Speaker 6: me in there and I was overweight, challenged me. I
- 3:41:32Speaker 6: didn't finish this, but he was like, hey, you're going
- 3:41:34Speaker 6: to go into the biggest game of your life, two
- 3:41:36Speaker 6: pounds overweight. And it was two pounds, granted.
- 3:41:38Speaker 1: Two pounds.
- 3:41:39Speaker 6: He made it a big deal because he wanted me
- 3:41:40Speaker 6: to be a pro.
- 3:41:41Speaker 3: All the time. He's like, why aren't you the best
- 3:41:43Speaker 3: linebacker in the league? Because you can't be.
- 3:41:45Speaker 6: And if we're going to win this Super Bowl, Brandon Spice.
- 3:41:49Speaker 6: You're going to have to play your best game. And
- 3:41:51Speaker 6: I'm like, I hope you don't think you messing with
- 3:41:52Speaker 6: my mind or nothing. Like I was going to do
- 3:41:54Speaker 6: that anyway. It's the Superbowl.
- 3:41:55Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this moment my whole entire life. Literally.
- 3:41:59Speaker 3: I dreamed of this moment since I was four years old.
- 3:42:02Speaker 3: Watching the Superbowl.
- 3:42:03Speaker 6: That's back when I'm glued to the TV.
- 3:42:04Speaker 3: I ain't moved.
- 3:42:06Speaker 1: Commercials.
- 3:42:08Speaker 6: You hungry? No.
- 3:42:11Speaker 3: Zach Thomas.
- 3:42:11Speaker 6: Oh, he wasn't in the Superbowl.
- 3:42:13Speaker 3: Who is it?
- 3:42:13Speaker 6: Joe Montana out here. I'm going to watch him.
- 3:42:15Speaker 3: Ken North.
- 3:42:16Speaker 1: I ain't moving.
- 3:42:17Speaker 6: I want Irvin out there.
- 3:42:18Speaker 3: Emmitt. Allen, Big Allen.
- 3:42:21Speaker 6: Yeah, you know Big Allen. What's his name?
- 3:42:24Speaker 1: Allen? Yeah. Yeah.
- 3:42:26Speaker 6: Them the motherfuckers I like to watch because they dominate
- 3:42:29Speaker 6: your ass for four quarters. They ain't, hey, got to
- 3:42:31Speaker 6: do it to you. But to get to that point, bro,
- 3:42:34Speaker 6: and lose, like I really was in a bad spot
- 3:42:36Speaker 6: for a long time. I kind of played it retiring too.
- 3:42:38Speaker 6: I was like, I'm done. Because that was my little plan.
- 3:42:41Speaker 6: I was going two state championships, two national championships. Should
- 3:42:45Speaker 6: have been three. Should've been three state championships. Actually, I
- 3:42:47Speaker 6: didn't tell y'all, my senior year, sorry guys, I had
- 3:42:49Speaker 6: to go back to this. My senior year, undefeated. We
- 3:42:52Speaker 6: went to the state championship my junior year. Come back,
- 3:42:54Speaker 6: all those sophomores, we won as a sophomore, win it
- 3:42:57Speaker 6: again as a junior. Come back my senior year, same team, undefeated.
- 3:43:01Speaker 6: We on the bus. Do pep rally, go through a regular. See,
- 3:43:04Speaker 6: we get ready to go to an away game and
- 3:43:05Speaker 6: play for, I think it was the fourth round. Next game,
- 3:43:07Speaker 6: you go to the state championship. We sitting out here,
- 3:43:09Speaker 6: just got a PSP. I'm showing my age now. Y'all
- 3:43:11Speaker 6: remember them PSPs dropping?
- 3:43:12Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm one of them. All this dirt.
- 3:43:16Speaker 6: Y'all playing my PSP and I realized, I'm like, damn,
- 3:43:19Speaker 6: we been on this bus a long time. I'm like,
- 3:43:21Speaker 6: where the coaches at? I'm looking up, I'm like, man,
- 3:43:24Speaker 6: go out with a boon, I'm gonna go to the
- 3:43:25Speaker 6: Army All-American game, killing that, get playing the game if
- 3:43:28Speaker 6: I can. We can go to the next Florida. I
- 3:43:30Speaker 6: had all my little plans ready to get my third
- 3:43:32Speaker 6: state championship, had it all set up. Coach get on
- 3:43:35Speaker 6: the bus, he said, hey, Pack this shit up. We've
- 3:43:38Speaker 6: been disqualified. Someone on the team, you know. They didn't
- 3:43:41Speaker 6: say it, but at the time we got disqualified because
- 3:43:44Speaker 6: somebody had been playing ineligible the whole season. What?
- 3:43:47Speaker 3: Who was it? I don't fucking know.
- 3:43:49Speaker 1: I still don't. You know.
- 3:43:50Speaker 3: I don't know. They checked the birth certificate.
- 3:43:53Speaker 6: I was going to say, hell no. Well, y'all, I
- 3:43:55Speaker 6: was in honors class. Then I had to make that
- 3:43:57Speaker 6: grade so I can get into college. I wouldn't take
- 3:43:59Speaker 6: my ass to no Juco school.
- 3:44:00Speaker 3: Y'all seen that last chance, you? Oh, yeah. But, hey.
- 3:44:03Speaker 6: Hell no, I wouldn't survive with Coach Brown. I like
- 3:44:05Speaker 6: Brown though. I like how he do that shit. What's
- 3:44:07Speaker 6: his name, JB? Yeah, JB, bro. That's how all my
- 3:44:10Speaker 6: coaches were. Like it is, but I wouldn't survive in
- 3:44:14Speaker 6: a place like that. So I had, it wasn't me.
- 3:44:16Speaker 6: I had to get my grades so I could get
- 3:44:17Speaker 6: my ass in school. But I was not going to
- 3:44:19Speaker 6: no Georgia military or no goddamn heart grade.
- 3:44:22Speaker 3: He's got a podcast. I guarantee this ends up on
- 3:44:25Speaker 3: this podcast. Yeah.
- 3:44:27Speaker 1: Well, my bad.
- 3:44:27Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. You said all of your things.
- 3:44:29Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no.
- 3:44:31Speaker 6: Yeah, because he, you know, I think you need that
- 3:44:33Speaker 6: tough love and, you know, when he, you got to have, like,
- 3:44:35Speaker 6: I always knew Juco was tough. I knew I wasn't
- 3:44:38Speaker 6: built for that same thing about him. It's too close
- 3:44:39Speaker 6: to that discipline. I struggle being disciplined all the time.
- 3:44:42Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? Like, that's, I always admired
- 3:44:44Speaker 6: military kids because they, you know, they instill toughness, discipline,
- 3:44:49Speaker 6: and that can translate over to the football field if you,
- 3:44:51Speaker 6: you know, if you mentally in the right space to
- 3:44:52Speaker 6: handle that shit. When it got tough, I didn't know
- 3:44:55Speaker 6: how to, you know, you know, get through that. I
- 3:44:58Speaker 6: would just, you know, the human element is the, nah,
- 3:45:00Speaker 6: that shit hard. I ain't fucking with that.
- 3:45:02Speaker 1: Yeah. I ain't want to do that. That's uncomfortable.
- 3:45:05Speaker 3: It's tough. It's hard. It's heavy.
- 3:45:07Speaker 1: No thanks.
- 3:45:08Speaker 6: I ain't chasing nobody.
- 3:45:09Speaker 3: You know, football.
- 3:45:10Speaker 6: I came here to play football. I'm lifting this heavy
- 3:45:12Speaker 6: ass steel. Come on.
- 3:45:14Speaker 3: But anyway, but that's that moment, bro, to get back
- 3:45:18Speaker 3: to that. The Super Bowl.
- 3:45:20Speaker 6: If I can just, bro, I think I had like,
- 3:45:22Speaker 6: 14 tackles, two first formals. Oh, ballin'. I missed one play, though.
- 3:45:26Speaker 6: It was like a snag seven flat. And I keep
- 3:45:28Speaker 6: dreaming about it because I knew it was coming. I
- 3:45:31Speaker 6: made the play BPU, but I should have picked it
- 3:45:33Speaker 6: off and scored and kicked that bitch.
- 3:45:35Speaker 3: In the stands.
- 3:45:36Speaker 6: And we would have won the game. Normally, Frank the
- 3:45:37Speaker 6: Tank makes them type of plays when we need it.
- 3:45:40Speaker 6: But I had a hell of a game now. My
- 3:45:42Speaker 6: boy there vouched for this shit. And another thing happened
- 3:45:44Speaker 6: in the game. I ain't making an excuse. They beat us.
- 3:45:46Speaker 3: Like I said, Eli was playing like Terry Bradshaw off
- 3:45:49Speaker 3: that bitch.
- 3:45:50Speaker 6: I looked up one time, I.
- 3:45:51Speaker 1: Said, hell no, he 14 for 14.
- 3:45:54Speaker 6: What the hell? This is an eight and nine team
- 3:45:56Speaker 6: or whatever the hell they was. We supposed to be
- 3:45:57Speaker 6: killing them any given Sunday out there. I couldn't believe
- 3:46:00Speaker 6: this shit was happening to me. Right before my eyes. Oh,
- 3:46:03Speaker 6: that shit hurt. I see y'all. But anyway, James, he
- 3:46:06Speaker 6: had a bowl. I knocked the shit out of Ahmad
- 3:46:09Speaker 6: Bradshaw for the second time. He fumbled that bitch. Ball
- 3:46:11Speaker 6: hit him right in his face mask.
- 3:46:14Speaker 1: U-mask.
- 3:46:14Speaker 6: He went to U-mask. I ain't saying it disrespectful, God. No, no, no, no.
- 3:46:19Speaker 1: He went to U-mask. no, no.
- 3:46:21Speaker 6: I don't even know what conference that is. What are
- 3:46:24Speaker 6: they playing?
- 3:46:25Speaker 3: UMass? What conference is UMass? G6 or something, right?
- 3:46:29Speaker 6: Is that that group five type shit?
- 3:46:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:46:31Speaker 6: I don't know who we're playing in.
- 3:46:34Speaker 3: No disrespect.
- 3:46:35Speaker 6: No disrespect, but I'm just telling you, the moments are big.
- 3:46:39Speaker 6: Sometimes you ain't played on those stages. You get the derives,
- 3:46:43Speaker 6: you know. I'm going to piss down my leg. I'm
- 3:46:48Speaker 6: not going to make the play. I hope they don't
- 3:46:49Speaker 6: come my way.
- 3:46:50Speaker 1: I'm shaking.
- 3:46:51Speaker 3: I'm not ready for this. I didn't prepare for this moment.
- 3:46:53Speaker 3: The eyes don't lie.
- 3:46:56Speaker 6: I'm standing in front of the huddle. I can look
- 3:46:57Speaker 6: and I see them. And I call it out like, hey,
- 3:47:00Speaker 6: tighten up now. This ain't the time. We got to
- 3:47:03Speaker 6: have it.
- 3:47:03Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 3:47:04Speaker 6: We've been living for this shit.
- 3:47:05Speaker 1: What we doing?
- 3:47:06Speaker 6: I don't want to see none of that shit because
- 3:47:08Speaker 6: if I can see it, they can see it. They
- 3:47:10Speaker 6: don't want no part of it. And I saw that
- 3:47:12Speaker 6: in that game. And we were still fighting. But it
- 3:47:14Speaker 6: was two plays. Wes Wecker catch that ball and not
- 3:47:16Speaker 6: try to body catch it. I've been catching shit like
- 3:47:19Speaker 6: this since I was, I didn't have a choice. My
- 3:47:20Speaker 6: brother's like, motherfucker, you gonna play football?
- 3:47:22Speaker 3: Hands, hands. That's probably why I got all the.
- 3:47:24Speaker 6: I got the record still at Florida. Six picks, four
- 3:47:26Speaker 6: for touchdowns. People think I just tackle people. Nope, I
- 3:47:29Speaker 6: played coverage too, motherfucker. Bill turned me into a first
- 3:47:33Speaker 6: and second down when I decided not to come to
- 3:47:35Speaker 6: a voluntary workout one off season.
- 3:47:39Speaker 3: Well, for a second, I mean, if you're overweight too.
- 3:47:41Speaker 6: No, it ain't have nothing to do with that. I
- 3:47:42Speaker 6: got 20 motherfucking, 24. What is it? The condition test.
- 3:47:47Speaker 1: You got to pass 24.
- 3:47:47Speaker 6: I have never failed a conditioning test.
- 3:47:49Speaker 1: Never.
- 3:47:49Speaker 6: It ain't have nothing to do with the weight. I
- 3:47:52Speaker 6: decided to rehab at Pete Bomarino's one off season when
- 3:47:55Speaker 6: it was voluntary. I didn't know that New England went
- 3:47:57Speaker 6: by different rules. I was a young player. It was after,
- 3:48:00Speaker 6: I think it was after the Super Bowl. Obviously, I've
- 3:48:01Speaker 6: been in the snow. For two years, you know, as
- 3:48:04Speaker 6: a rookie, you play that whole season. That second year
- 3:48:08Speaker 6: is just your first offseason, really.
- 3:48:09Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? And we played it all
- 3:48:11Speaker 3: the way until February.
- 3:48:12Speaker 6: What, I got a month and a half to relax
- 3:48:15Speaker 6: before I get back to, you know what I'm saying,
- 3:48:16Speaker 6: the OTAs and shit? So, I was like, okay. All
- 3:48:20Speaker 6: my people in Florida, you know what I'm saying? I
- 3:48:22Speaker 6: want to get to the sunshine. It's negative 20 degrees
- 3:48:24Speaker 6: up this motherfucker.
- 3:48:25Speaker 1: We lost.
- 3:48:26Speaker 3: It's dark.
- 3:48:26Speaker 6: I wake up at 6 o'clock.
- 3:48:27Speaker 1: It's dark.
- 3:48:28Speaker 3: I go home at 4 o'clock.
- 3:48:29Speaker 1: It's dark. I was depressed.
- 3:48:30Speaker 3: I want to go home. Boom.
- 3:48:32Speaker 1: So....
- 3:48:34Speaker 6: Bill calls me, he's like, where you at? You the
- 3:48:37Speaker 6: only person not here, the whole team's here. You the
- 3:48:39Speaker 6: leader captain on the team and you're not here, what
- 3:48:40Speaker 6: are you doing? I'm like, coach, I'm rehabbing down here.
- 3:48:42Speaker 6: My agent said it was voluntary, I'm good. He's like,
- 3:48:45Speaker 6: you must didn't get the memo. You the only guy here.
- 3:48:49Speaker 6: I'm sorry, you the only guy not here, Spice. And
- 3:48:51Speaker 6: I was like, damn, I did feel bad after that.
- 3:48:53Speaker 6: But I was doing what I was supposed to do.
- 3:48:54Speaker 6: I was rehabbing, sending updates and all of that. I
- 3:48:57Speaker 6: just wanted to be where the sunshine is, be with
- 3:48:59Speaker 6: my friends and family. I'm up here in the freezing
- 3:49:01Speaker 6: cold for damn near two years. Like, obviously I'm from
- 3:49:05Speaker 6: North Carolina, but we get off four seasons. That up there, Buffalo.
- 3:49:08Speaker 6: That's why I was like, when they called my name,
- 3:49:10Speaker 6: I said, I knew I was going to go to
- 3:49:11Speaker 6: a cold ass team. I flew that shit. Then I
- 3:49:14Speaker 6: go to Buffalo too, but I could play in the cold,
- 3:49:17Speaker 6: but North Carolina, it get cold, but it ain't like that.
- 3:49:19Speaker 6: Like y'all know Buffalo and Boston. That's a whole different,
- 3:49:24Speaker 6: I used to be on first and second down. I
- 3:49:25Speaker 6: used to be like a penguin. I ain't played all that.
- 3:49:28Speaker 6: Cause teams was like, oh, y'all just going to have
- 3:49:30Speaker 6: him on heavy downs. We going to stay in team
- 3:49:32Speaker 6: personnel and keep his ass off the field. So he
- 3:49:34Speaker 6: don't hurt one of our players. And that's how I
- 3:49:37Speaker 6: became a first and second down back. Cause I didn't
- 3:49:39Speaker 6: come to an off season workout. And I know I
- 3:49:41Speaker 6: can confirm this, because when I got ready to sign
- 3:49:43Speaker 6: my second deal, when I go back, after I go
- 3:49:44Speaker 6: to Buffalo, before I could sign my contract, Bill says
- 3:49:48Speaker 6: to me, we ain't gonna have no issues, it's off season,
- 3:49:50Speaker 6: are we?
- 3:49:51Speaker 3: I said, no, sir, we won't, I'll be there. What
- 3:49:54Speaker 3: is it, 80%, you gotta do 80% of the workouts?
- 3:49:56Speaker 6: I was like, damn, y'all had to told me that
- 3:49:58Speaker 6: I would've came over for two, three days out the
- 3:49:59Speaker 6: week and got on back to Florida. I didn't know,
- 3:50:01Speaker 6: I was just so over it, just lost the Super Bowl, devastated,
- 3:50:04Speaker 6: I'm ready to end it.
- 3:50:06Speaker 3: All over one game.
- 3:50:08Speaker 6: Literally, y'all laughing and shit, y'all playing. I almost fucked up, bro.
- 3:50:13Speaker 6: I gotta win, whatever it is. I can't help it.
- 3:50:17Speaker 6: I really got this, when I was younger, if I
- 3:50:19Speaker 6: would lose, I didn't even know, I'd be crying.
- 3:50:21Speaker 3: Man, I ain't shaking hands.
- 3:50:22Speaker 6: Any game I ever lost, I ain't never shook hands either. Poor,
- 3:50:25Speaker 6: sore loser.
- 3:50:26Speaker 3: Sore loser. Sore loser. I think the best thing that
- 3:50:28Speaker 3: happened to this world is you lose so few. You've
- 3:50:31Speaker 3: lost so few games. That's one of the best things
- 3:50:34Speaker 3: that's ever happened to this country.
- 3:50:35Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 3:50:36Speaker 3: Yeah. You only lost five games in high school and college?
- 3:50:40Speaker 3: Imagine if you lost 10. I know I'd have been
- 3:50:42Speaker 3: on death watch. He ain't built for it to be
- 3:50:46Speaker 3: a fan of Nebraska. He ain't built for Nebraska ball.
- 3:50:48Speaker 1: He ain't built for Nebraska.
- 3:50:50Speaker 3: Can you imagine if Spikes hit Nebraska? Oh, he'd have transferred.
- 3:50:54Speaker 3: The players are just like, B-man is just one game.
- 3:50:56Speaker 6: No, it's not. You only get a certain amount of opportunities.
- 3:50:59Speaker 6: You want to seize the moment every chance you get
- 3:51:01Speaker 6: because you never get this opportunity back. And when you're young,
- 3:51:05Speaker 6: you feel like you're going to play forever. You start
- 3:51:07Speaker 6: getting older, you start seeing that window starting to close. Like, damn,
- 3:51:11Speaker 6: that's when you get serious. Like, I got to make
- 3:51:12Speaker 6: them all count. Every last one of them. That's when
- 3:51:15Speaker 6: you become a pro. When you're young, you think you
- 3:51:17Speaker 6: got time. I swear, I blinked and I'm running out
- 3:51:20Speaker 6: from my senior day. And then when you.
- 3:51:22Speaker 3: Having fun, that shit go fast.
- 3:51:23Speaker 6: But I was like, what the? Like, it was a
- 3:51:26Speaker 6: time at Florida Bowl when we lost three games and
- 3:51:28Speaker 6: it was a failed season. Like, we failed. The Gator Nation,
- 3:51:31Speaker 6: we suck. No free drinks. Actually, don't even come in
- 3:51:35Speaker 6: here drinking, guys. You should be somewhere practicing. trying to
- 3:51:38Speaker 6: get better.
- 3:51:38Speaker 3: It used to be like that.
- 3:51:40Speaker 6: Hell yeah. Y'all ain't coming in here? What the hell
- 3:51:43Speaker 6: was that?
- 3:51:44Speaker 1: Fucking late.
- 3:51:45Speaker 6: Ole Miss beat you.
- 3:51:46Speaker 1: What the hell?
- 3:51:47Speaker 6: At home? There ain't no fucking party until we get
- 3:51:50Speaker 6: a dub. And it was a cloud over the whole
- 3:51:53Speaker 6: Gainesville when we lost games because it never happened. People
- 3:51:55Speaker 6: were just like, oh. It's a weird moment. This was
- 3:51:59Speaker 6: weird until we bounced back because I've always judged a man.
- 3:52:01Speaker 6: It ain't about what you're doing when everything's sweet. How
- 3:52:04Speaker 6: you respond when you get your ass punched in the face?
- 3:52:06Speaker 6: You get knocked down. Now, that let me know what
- 3:52:09Speaker 6: type of character you are. How do you respond from that?
- 3:52:11Speaker 3: How much juice did you guys have after when Tim
- 3:52:14Speaker 3: Tebow did that halftime speech?
- 3:52:16Speaker 6: I mean, I ain't gonna lie to you, bro. I
- 3:52:18Speaker 6: was standing right beside Tebow. I already talked shit. It's funny, though, bro.
- 3:52:21Speaker 6: It's funny you say that because I'll never forget. Victory Monday.
- 3:52:23Speaker 6: I'm sitting down with Dan Mullen. I think Percy was
- 3:52:27Speaker 6: right there. Brandon Jane and maybe another player. We're sitting
- 3:52:29Speaker 6: down having lobster soup.
- 3:52:32Speaker 3: Crab legs and steak and nice potato and a little
- 3:52:35Speaker 3: broccoli on the side if you like it sauteed. If
- 3:52:38Speaker 3: you win.
- 3:52:39Speaker 6: If you was a loser, your ass eating hot dogs
- 3:52:41Speaker 6: and hamburgers.
- 3:52:42Speaker 1: Literally.
- 3:52:43Speaker 6: You might get some Lay's chips, Lay's potato chips if
- 3:52:45Speaker 6: you lucky.
- 3:52:46Speaker 3: If the game was close. If it was close.
- 3:52:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah.
- 3:52:49Speaker 3: So we sitting there and Mullen was like, what's going
- 3:52:51Speaker 3: on guys?
- 3:52:51Speaker 6: That was a big game. Let's get ready for this.
- 3:52:53Speaker 6: Let's put it behind us. He's like, that's an eight coat.
- 3:52:56Speaker 6: Game on the line. Absolutely gotta have it. Who you
- 3:53:00Speaker 6: giving the ball to? And he, without hesitation, said, Tim Tebow,
- 3:53:04Speaker 6: Harvard Trophy winner, Tim Tebow. Without a question, he going
- 3:53:07Speaker 6: to get it. Ain't nobody stopping one yard. I'll be damned.
- 3:53:11Speaker 6: A few short days later, we in that situation. Got
- 3:53:14Speaker 6: to have it. Last play of the game. And everybody
- 3:53:16Speaker 6: in the damn swamp knew what play that was running.
- 3:53:18Speaker 6: And they stuffed our ass. But it was the best
- 3:53:20Speaker 6: thing that ever happened to us. Because we started to
- 3:53:22Speaker 6: smell ourselves. Like literally none of the games was closed.
- 3:53:25Speaker 6: The whole team was playing. I was out at halftime
- 3:53:27Speaker 6: making plans, what type of parties, where it was gonna be,
- 3:53:29Speaker 6: how it was gonna do, at halftime. Looking in the stands,
- 3:53:31Speaker 6: shaking people, dabbing people. Hey, tell your people I wanna
- 3:53:35Speaker 6: come over there now. I heard y'all got some land.
- 3:53:37Speaker 6: I wanna come over there and fish. Why the game going?
- 3:53:39Speaker 6: We haven't like, the whole team, like we wanted to
- 3:53:41Speaker 6: beat your ass so bad, because everybody contributed to the win, right?
- 3:53:44Speaker 6: The scout team people, the walk-ons, like all of those dudes,
- 3:53:48Speaker 6: them was my brothers. Like I had a great connection
- 3:53:50Speaker 6: with them too, The whole thing come full circle. Everybody
- 3:53:53Speaker 6: got to do their part. People don't understand. It's a
- 3:53:55Speaker 6: real team sport. The walk-ons and the scout team players,
- 3:53:58Speaker 6: they got to give your ass a real game look.
- 3:54:00Speaker 6: So you ready for Saturday or Sunday? So you like,
- 3:54:02Speaker 6: I ain't seen this shit all week.
- 3:54:04Speaker 1: What is this?
- 3:54:04Speaker 6: Now it look like you ain't doing your damn job. No,
- 3:54:07Speaker 6: that scout team player didn't take his fucking job serious.
- 3:54:09Speaker 6: He gave you a piss poor look. And now your
- 3:54:12Speaker 6: ass finna pay for it. I would never allow that. Like, oh,
- 3:54:14Speaker 6: he ain't give me, he don't run like that. He
- 3:54:16Speaker 6: don't do that. I watch the damn tape. I don't
- 3:54:18Speaker 6: watch 10 games already. I've never seen him do that.
- 3:54:20Speaker 1: My bad, B.
- 3:54:21Speaker 6: You better, I'm gonna hit your ass for real. And that's,
- 3:54:23Speaker 6: all right, you know I would go there if you
- 3:54:25Speaker 6: getting in the way of our success. Like that'll be
- 3:54:27Speaker 6: an issue that one play that could come down to it. Like,
- 3:54:30Speaker 6: cause you know, games are decided off a couple of plays.
- 3:54:33Speaker 6: They come down to about- Four to five? Four to
- 3:54:34Speaker 6: five plays, absolutely. They come down to that. And if
- 3:54:37Speaker 6: you're not prepared, like that's one thing I was so
- 3:54:39Speaker 6: blessed and grateful for that. My coaches, I was always
- 3:54:42Speaker 6: well prepared. One quote sticks out to me, the five P's.
- 3:54:47Speaker 6: I know y'all know the five P's. Don't tell me
- 3:54:49Speaker 6: y'all don't know the five P's. Y'all making me feel, oh,
- 3:54:51Speaker 6: I got this great hair. It's gotta be the- This
- 3:54:54Speaker 6: poor performance.
- 3:54:56Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, it wasn't this.
- 3:54:57Speaker 3: I was thinking of- No, here we go. Sorry, I'm
- 3:54:59Speaker 3: getting five P's. Maybe it's Graves' three P's. What's the
- 3:55:01Speaker 3: three P's? Oh, no, the three A's.
- 3:55:03Speaker 1: What is it? Oh, no, F's. Ass.
- 3:55:06Speaker 3: No, I don't know. Alcohol, assholes, and- That's the trifecta.
- 3:55:11Speaker 3: The trifecta. They are that motherfucker. Yeah, ass.
- 3:55:13Speaker 6: Alcohol, assholes, and women. Yeah, it's the trifecta. Ass, alcohol,
- 3:55:18Speaker 6: and assholes.
- 3:55:19Speaker 4: Yes.
- 3:55:20Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? If those three in the equation,
- 3:55:23Speaker 6: something bad bound to happen.
- 3:55:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:55:24Speaker 6: Try to avoid the fucking trifecta. Try to avoid those three.
- 3:55:27Speaker 1: You'll be good.
- 3:55:28Speaker 6: If you got an asshole and ass, you might be good.
- 3:55:31Speaker 6: You put alcohol in that equation, something bad going to happen.
- 3:55:34Speaker 3: Game over. The problem is that trifecta usually comes in threes.
- 3:55:36Speaker 3: It's usually not just one.
- 3:55:38Speaker 1: Facts. Facts.
- 3:55:39Speaker 3: What's the five Ps?
- 3:55:40Speaker 1: Five Ps.
- 3:55:41Speaker 6: Preparation prevents piss-poor performance. I've always thought that was huge.
- 3:55:46Speaker 6: And I've lived by that my whole professional career, playing career.
- 3:55:49Speaker 6: If I'm well prepared, there's no way I could play bad.
- 3:55:53Speaker 6: I may be average, but I can't just fuck it
- 3:55:56Speaker 6: all up and just look just out of place, not
- 3:55:59Speaker 6: doing my job, my assignment, my alignment. I took that personal.
- 3:56:02Speaker 6: And I felt like if I didn't set the pace,
- 3:56:04Speaker 6: if I didn't have, if I wasn't hitting on all cylinders,
- 3:56:06Speaker 6: I didn't know his job, his job, that job, I
- 3:56:09Speaker 6: wasn't doing my job. That was my job to know
- 3:56:11Speaker 6: what everybody doing, how to get us out of downs,
- 3:56:13Speaker 6: how to make adjustments, how to make audibles. Like by
- 3:56:16Speaker 6: the time I, after my sophomore year, I'll go into
- 3:56:18Speaker 6: that junior year. I was a coach on it. I
- 3:56:22Speaker 6: feel like I said, I allowed it to me. We
- 3:56:24Speaker 6: a real ball knower. I never had a choice. I
- 3:56:28Speaker 6: always got challenged and I couldn't get on the field
- 3:56:30Speaker 6: until I proved that I knew the scheme like they did,
- 3:56:33Speaker 6: like my D coordinators or my head coach, whatever it was.
- 3:56:36Speaker 6: I had to get their approval until they give me
- 3:56:39Speaker 6: the keys to the motherfucking car. And once I had it,
- 3:56:43Speaker 6: ain't nobody getting in. I'm willing to die about this shit.
- 3:56:46Speaker 1: I was one of them.
- 3:56:47Speaker 3: Don't grab on pinky shit like that.
- 3:56:49Speaker 6: Hey, that ain't what coach said. They said, shut up,
- 3:56:53Speaker 6: company man.
- 3:56:53Speaker 3: I'm like, motherfucker, I want to win.
- 3:56:56Speaker 6: Company man. He's like, hey, yup, I'm trying to win.
- 3:56:59Speaker 6: You mad at me now?
- 3:57:00Speaker 1: You don't like me?
- 3:57:00Speaker 3: But when we hosting up that crystal ball, I'm glad
- 3:57:04Speaker 3: you got down, yo.
- 3:57:05Speaker 6: Yeah, you didn't see the vision, though. Early on, there
- 3:57:07Speaker 6: wasn't nobody watching. There wasn't no cameras around. Just me, us,
- 3:57:10Speaker 6: and the work, motherfucker. And you didn't want to do it,
- 3:57:12Speaker 6: but once we encouraged and all of us come together
- 3:57:15Speaker 6: and we bond and we're like, hey, don't let your
- 3:57:17Speaker 6: brother down. It's a beautiful thing when a group of people,
- 3:57:21Speaker 6: I ain't even gonna say me, a group of people
- 3:57:23Speaker 6: got one common goal, and y'all working towards that. That
- 3:57:26Speaker 6: shit's special, man.
- 3:57:27Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, dude. When we sat there in
- 3:57:29Speaker 3: the SEC championship game.
- 3:57:30Speaker 1: When we were doing that summer.
- 3:57:32Speaker 3: I was nervous, too. I was nervous. Were you? You
- 3:57:34Speaker 3: did a phenomenal job. Having you come on and you
- 3:57:36Speaker 3: feeling some type of way about coming on and having
- 3:57:39Speaker 3: basically feeling like we're all family now. And then to
- 3:57:41Speaker 3: have this three hour long podcast.
- 3:57:43Speaker 6: I've been running my pothole for three.
- 3:57:45Speaker 1: Hey, my pothole.
- 3:57:47Speaker 3: One of the longest podcasts we've ever had. I feel like, hey, listen,
- 3:57:50Speaker 3: you crushed it. You were amazing. The story is awesome.
- 3:57:54Speaker 3: Your energy, by the way, one of the more infectious
- 3:57:56Speaker 3: energies I think we've ever been around.
- 3:57:57Speaker 1: Come on now.
- 3:57:58Speaker 3: You can't sit around B and not have like. I
- 3:58:00Speaker 3: can't help it.
- 3:58:01Speaker 4: You feel it if you don't have the energy. Imagine
- 3:58:03Speaker 4: me and you on a podcast. You'd run a little
- 3:58:06Speaker 4: out of here.
- 3:58:07Speaker 6: You got to watch the program. And so it's this linebacker.
- 3:58:09Speaker 6: They got a bomb.
- 3:58:10Speaker 3: I saw the program.
- 3:58:10Speaker 1: I just couldn't put it together.
- 3:58:11Speaker 3: You seen Vladimir and Alabama.
- 3:58:13Speaker 6: They spit.
- 3:58:15Speaker 3: Trust me.
- 3:58:15Speaker 1: I would have been right behind you.
- 3:58:17Speaker 3: I wouldn't have did that, though. You better grab Percy
- 3:58:19Speaker 3: right now.
- 3:58:20Speaker 6: I'm finna go out right now for your will. Y'all
- 3:58:22Speaker 6: should not go up to his office and talk about
- 3:58:24Speaker 6: how hard it is. You got to get right behind him.
- 3:58:26Speaker 6: Nobody knew that. We kept that amongst the boys. But
- 3:58:29Speaker 6: I was very emotional, passionate. Every game, I would be
- 3:58:33Speaker 6: in tears. Literally, I can't control it. Like that shit just,
- 3:58:37Speaker 6: like the love for the game oozed through me. Even
- 3:58:39Speaker 6: when I said, I'm going to be composed. I'm going
- 3:58:41Speaker 6: to try to keep it together. Just, I just, just
- 3:58:46Speaker 6: boohoo crying. Like the past, like I never forget. I
- 3:58:48Speaker 6: remember when we played in London the first time and
- 3:58:49Speaker 6: me and my big brother always talk about, going to
- 3:58:51Speaker 6: Europe and going abroad and this and that. And I'm
- 3:58:53Speaker 6: in London playing at Wembley. And I literally cried the
- 3:58:59Speaker 6: whole game. Cause my brother didn't get to watch that shit.
- 3:59:01Speaker 6: He couldn't watch it. Cause he, you know, he locked,
- 3:59:03Speaker 6: he can't see the game. My brother literally not, he
- 3:59:05Speaker 6: didn't get to watch. We played no games my whole career.
- 3:59:08Speaker 6: I am what I am because of him. He didn't
- 3:59:10Speaker 6: get to see that shit one time. So I had
- 3:59:12Speaker 6: to go double time over time. You know what I'm saying?
- 3:59:14Speaker 6: Like you going to know. So he had called me like, Hey,
- 3:59:18Speaker 6: The boys talking about the ones that had access to
- 3:59:20Speaker 6: the outside world. They like, hey, they said your little
- 3:59:23Speaker 6: brother obese. That's all they ever wanted was the approval,
- 3:59:25Speaker 6: the respect. I played the game solely for respect. Nothing more,
- 3:59:29Speaker 6: nothing less. When I get love now, I never imagined
- 3:59:33Speaker 6: getting love at 39, 40 years old. I never cared.
- 3:59:36Speaker 6: As long as I had the rings, I felt like
- 3:59:39Speaker 6: the legacy is forever. You got the rings, you got
- 3:59:42Speaker 6: the bricks. I got several bricks out front of our stadium.
- 3:59:44Speaker 1: They ain't pulling them up.
- 3:59:45Speaker 3: That's there for eternity.
- 3:59:46Speaker 6: I get to bring my family back. My son, one
- 3:59:48Speaker 6: day if I had one, family like, look what your
- 3:59:50Speaker 6: daddy did, boy. That's going to be there when you
- 3:59:53Speaker 6: were gone and your son gone. That's still going to
- 3:59:55Speaker 6: be there forever. And it's the best feeling ever because
- 3:59:58Speaker 6: all of that hard work, all those early mornings, all
- 4:00:00Speaker 6: those sacrifices, all the parties I turned down.
- 4:00:03Speaker 3: Man, we had some fucking parties, boy.
- 4:00:07Speaker 6: I'm saying that for the book.
- 4:00:08Speaker 3: Let's get right to it. I'll keep going now. You
- 4:00:12Speaker 3: are the fucking man.
- 4:00:13Speaker 1: Appreciate y'all.
- 4:00:14Speaker 3: Thank you, bro.
