• 11:35
  Speaker 4: basketball gyms, the wall is always right behind the goal, right,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: so like depth perception is easy, right. And my little
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: routine was I wouldn't look at the goal until I
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: shot the free throw. Yeah, and so when I looked up,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: you couldn't see the room arena. Yeah, I could see

  Speaker 4: I didn't go to the school go to school with
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: like a ton of pros, like I didn't go to Duke.

  Speaker 4: game he had a double double.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He played point guard on offense, center on defense.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Right, he's the best player I've ever seen doing a
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: You know, they do those camps and the players work
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: the camps. He was demonstrating the jump stock blew his
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: knee out, came back like the next year, it blew
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: the other one out.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: So he ended up leaving. So like the.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Career that he had was all about his brain and
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: his understanding of basketball because he could jump. He was explosive,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: and he lost all that when he got hurt. But
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Randy Liverston was the best basketball player I've seen. Kerry
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Kittles was one baby. Yeah, Kerry Kittles. Uh was one
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: of the guys I know.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Do you remember Hollis Price. So, Hollis Price went to
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: my rival high school. He went to my rival.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: March Madness legend bro coach Houston right now, Yeah, so
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: hooped against him.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: So we have some we have some guys. But it's
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: not like the Midwest. Yeah, Carols football.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: My boy, Big Swag used to get to it on
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the court as well.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Who's one of the best athletes man have ever been around?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Now Son nice too. It's Swag who played tight end
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: when he first got to he ate his way to
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: defense even really like was that on accident or he ate?
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: He was always built soft, you know what I mean,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Like he wasn't killing winso body.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: He's a body about about.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he kept eating, like you might
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: have to go to defense, bro, Now you know what,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: you know what Nick Saban had, Bro that I don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: think that. I didn't never make any other coach that
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: knew this, Like he knew when you were playing the
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: wrong position. So swag Gool was like top twenty five.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Hooper played tight end, could do every thing like softest
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: hands on the team, but he was bigger, like he
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: wasn't gonna get open like that. He's like, hey man,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: you go play d n you'll be a first round
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: draft pick.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And he was right.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Corey Webster ended up being an early second round pick.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: He was All American at like thirteen picks in two years.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: But he was a receiver and he refused to move,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: like refuse coaches like, man, you need to go play defense.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: He was a quarterback in high school and he was like, look,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I'm a movie and he's like, but he's like, you're
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: gonna be a pro if you go play corner. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: he was right. So he would do that with all
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: these different players. Man, he could just see it in
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: a different way. But you know, man, when you think
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: you good at something and you a kid, you don't
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: want especially you get the rock, like if I play
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: wide receiver, I want to catch the ball and so
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: but Nick was great at that. Man, he moved swag
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: gool brose all American first round pick's hard excitement.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Clearly he knows something for sure. To jump around and
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: ask how you feel about the new head coach?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: L s U speak high our favorite coach speaking. So
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: let me so you're welcome. Let's just say.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Let's just say I knew Lane was gonna be our
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: head coach a long time before the rest of the world. Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: that was as soon as BK was fired, Like that
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: was my pick, Like that was who I wanted. Had
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: conversations with people at the school who were going to
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: be decision makers, bro, I would probably say once the
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: process started, there wasn't a day I don't have like
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: a text with Lane Kiff mhm, Like I got more
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: group chats with Lane. I got more group chats with
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin than I do like my real homeboys like me,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: and like we got group Lane and it's like different
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: groups of football players that play at LSU, depending on
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: what he wants to talk about, you know what I mean.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: So it's like we got like pockets like oh, if
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: it's this conversation, it is you know, it might be Whitworth,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: if it's this conversation, it might be swag Good. If
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: it's this conversation, it might be Booger McFarland. And so
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: we got like all these conversations on one of the
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: coolest things he did. Man, it's probably five am one morning.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: He sends a picture of the stadium and he was like,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: you know, like that's the best place to play football
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: in the country. And you know, I remember when I
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: texted him back, I was like, the stadium's cool. I
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: was like, but it's the people who are in there
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: and the reason that they're there that makes it special.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: And like that dude was excited to coach there and
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: that's what you want. Like BK bro Brian Kelly wasn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: excited to coach there.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He was like he was acting.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Like a bad shit that god with the smart dude
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: because he was gonna provide stability.
• 20:58

• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like what's stunting about him? You know what I mean?

  Speaker 4: He felt like he was doing us a favor by
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: coaching man, you know man like down soft folks, country

• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You know that's what I'm gonna be. It's gonna be.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I'm the one that started the conversation. Ryan Clark came
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: up to me. He hates Brian Kelly, so I wanted
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: to make sure it wasn't that. But I'd be like, no,
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: it's cool. You know he working on he trying to
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: get people, and they'd be like, I'm so glad he's there,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Like we didn't want him here and I didn't know
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: that he had wore out his welcome the same way
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: there that he ended up doing at the career.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I wish Lou was here, my homeboy LOI worked with
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: us here he in order to in fanatic going on it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: That was excited when he got the which is crazy though, man,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: think about like how how you truly have to move
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: or treat people to be good at something and people
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: still want you out, you know what I'm saying, Because
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: he's had success this to win at that clip and
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: people be like, you know what, I rather lose to
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: have you. Oh man, that was fed up anybody with you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: You know, we had Charlie Weiss anybody but you Gang,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: good old Charlie. Charlie, Yeah, man like Free Man, I
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: love Free, like what Free did for my kid, Like
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: I can never pay him for that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: But dude really is like that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: From from the standpoint of like, I don't know how
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: long he'll stay there. I think he has ultimate job stability.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: They're always gonna win. They recruit at an extremely high
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: clip and y'all probably been to South Ben Ain't nothing
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: there but the school, you know what I'm saying, nothing there.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: But the school.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: So the fact that he has you know, Plexico, Burrett
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Burr's son obviously Bussy went there, but you got Jamichael Friendly, Fridley,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Larry Fitzgerald's son, Thomas Johns, like you got all of
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: these dudes who played in the league and their kids
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: are now going to know the name over the Bamas
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: and all that. But it just tells you the way
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: he recruits, type of type of man he is. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: I was talking to Riley Lenard on the field last
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: year last night, like, I can't believe they kept him
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: off the playoffs about that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I hate the format, but there's nobody they should have
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: been kept out.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: So it's the way the rules are put together right,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Like I would say this, it's hard. I thought Miami
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: should be in because of the head to head. I
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: thought Bama was the team they could get in ahead of.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: But it's hard to say that when they go win.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: That's a fact Miami.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: They won.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Like all of these teams are now in the second round.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: But if you watched JMU and Twulane, ain't no way.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah they say they sain't March madness. You know March madness. Bro,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: you get Steph Curry hot on the day, you find
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: a way to get to the Sweet sixteen.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Damn football.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Work the better team usually winning football. That's how it
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: is on the games. Really play wait for Alabama, no
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: respected way, but you get buried.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Listen, you want to acc next year.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: They have been good at some points in my lifetime.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Seven it was good, Tim Duncan hold on, we was good.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: We were to the Orsbow.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Respect. Yeah, I was definitely good. Yeah, yeah about it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah to Aaron Kurry top yeah, good player coach now
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: yeah coaching random soldiers. Rand Children, by the way, one
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: of my favorite college basketball players.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Children like he liked the third best guard and wait
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: for his history. All right, what's the what's the older.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Chris Paul, Yeah, two, and then yeah, that's respectful. That's
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: a respectful list. Look when we see this, he's gonna
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: come out here with that big T shirt smoke.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: You're gonna talk so much here on the college basketball
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: college college football. Excuse me, there's no that they need
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to join the conference because I don't like the fact
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: that Not That Dame is not playing USC no more.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And I feel like it's.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Around that guaranteed pretty much from the committee that if
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: they do this stuff when they schedule, they get in.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Like I don't like that robbery being gone.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Man, I don't think it's a Notre Dame decision that
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: it's gone, right, It's it's the landscape of college football
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: and the way that it's changed. College football is just
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: turning into the NFL.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: If I don't know if y'all pay attention, I'm sure
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: y'all do. On social media, football players are taking pictures
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: in college resigning to their team. I've seen that, like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: you know, like when the when the pros do it
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: in free agency, when they take the picture front the
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: little thing behind them and they say, like.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Where they do that at? I had everything about that, Bro,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: bro like.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: The the I just read something where the running backs
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: coach that we are hiring had to go have a
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: meeting with our sophomore he's gonna be a sophomore, great
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: young player, our sophomore running back to try to keep
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: him in the facility. They try to keep him on campus,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: try to keep him apart of the university, Like, that's
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: what we're doing. So every so not only do think
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: about like if you're if you're one of these teams
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: right now in the playoffs, you're trying to win the
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: playoff game. You're trying to figure out nil work the
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: transfer portal to bring people on your team, keep cats
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: on your team from getting in the portal, and you're
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: preparing to play one of the top eight teams in
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the country. That's the NC double a problem.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: They got to change that schedule. They got to change
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that schedule because you do you like it though, the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: fact that kids get to get paid like this, I.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Think that I think that they should have been paid
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: a long time ago. I think the ability to move
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: around is not as much in my mind, something that
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: was a need for players. But if the coaches were
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: going to be able to live their lives and maneuver
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: in their careers the way that they are players needed
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: some ability to not be locked into certain situations.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I do think.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: The way that transfer portal was implemented doesn't protect kids
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: either though, from their own stupidity, right, Like everybody everybody
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: think they got to play year one, year or two,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Like that wasn't our life, you know what I'm saying,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Like I knew, Hey, you're one, you might be the nickel,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: right because the dude in front you is all American.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Your two, you'll play more. You're three, you could be
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: the guy. Like that was the that was the steps
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: for us, and in basketball was a little different. Like
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: you might start as a freshman. It didn't mean you
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: was one and done right. You was going to you
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: was going to be around. And so I think just
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: when you see the number of dudes that get in
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: the portal bro and don't find homes, don't find places
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: to go, getting bad information from folks that's close to
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: them because they believe that they could go get more
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: money elsewhere. Like folks ain't. These kids don't They don't develop.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: They're not developing physically, and you're not developing, you know, mentally, emotionally,
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: and being able to understand, like we got to go
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: live life after.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: This, you know. And so I think it's we talk
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: about that all the time.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I think they need a cap on, Like I think
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: everybody should get one free transfer.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That's it though, Bro, going to four different universes in
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: four years is insane. I don't care, Bro. A lot
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of kids not graduating. But I'm just saying, you end
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: up turning into a piece of shit, bro when you
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: leave school because you have no discipline, you have no
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: laws to anything. Everything's just been and you learn it
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: kind of from people who ain't never did it in
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: your family, No disrespect, but everybody just chasing the bag.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Then you don't even know how to treat the bag
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: when you get it. So when you go, bro, it's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: like shit, that's when all the mental health shit just
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: kick in in there, crashing out like bad.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: The biggest thing to me is just a lot of
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the kids they're going to school for four years, but
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: they still not graduating. Like you would be amazed how
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: many kids didn't graduate, but they was in school for
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: four years, someone was in five. They still haven't because
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: they transferred so much. The don't be accept that A
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: lot of times when they transferred and they last year
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: they leave school early to go prepare for the draft.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah I'm speaking on basketball.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: They leave and go prepare for the draft, and they
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: might still have a couple of classes left and they
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: won't finish it. Obviously, they can go back and finish
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: if they can, but they're not leaving the university.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Of a degree.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: And one thing that people sleep on it is having
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: a place to call home. If all fails, you still
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: have alumni base or school you can go back to
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: as a cushion if things work out. Like you said, LS,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: you got a great stand base with that situation. These
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: kids have no home to go to after stuff. You're
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: getting all this money, you burning bridges everywhere you go,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: and if you might need a lifeboat, you don't even
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: have no one who could rock with you on it
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: because everything is transactional.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like now too, though it's about it's about due
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: visual relationships though, Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: it's not about whether or not you could go back
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: to the schools, whether or not I can go back
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: to a certain person, right because them people float around too,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: like the it's funny to say the guy who is
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: basically the general manager at not the Dame is now
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: the general manager at USC, right, Like that's somebody who
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: my son was close to. That's who recruited him. Like
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: if he wanted to and like, let's say he didn't
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: have a foundation, he could probably go to him and
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: see if like there's something that they could do to
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: help one another, or if he could help him out.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: But that's the I think that's the hard part about
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: where we are now. It's like I tell people all
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: the time, they asked me about the pro teams, you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: and I put it on I entertained right that like
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: when the Steelers lose.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: It matters.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: It don't matter, like it don't. I don't care, Like
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: they want you to be on tv RC. I know
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: you're hurt, and as part of the entertainment of TV yes.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm hurt. I'm not really hurt. That's not putting money
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: in my pocket, you know.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: And you know how it is felas like once you
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: start to know these people, I want Pittsburgh to win
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: because Mike Tomlin is my friend, right, and I know
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: that his livelihood and his career and his kids and
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: his family depend on him being the head coach, right,
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: like I want Jalen Ramsey to play well and to
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: win because that's a little broke. That's how I watch games. Now,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: I don't watch games like all the Steelers have to win.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: But the thing about college used to be was like
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I got so much pride in LSU because that's the
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: only place I chose, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: I chose to be there, you know what I mean?
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Like that was I had an option of this place,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: this place, this place, and I said that's the spot
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: for me. And so when you stay there and you
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: play four years, it's like, man, the people there, the
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: people that support the university, like all those folks know me,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: you know, like they gotta. I remember two of the
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: things I did at LSU that will always be important
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: to me. Twenty twenty was obviously like a very tough
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: time social injustice, social justice, all of that. The athletes
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: at the school marched in twenty twenty. I was a
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: part of the march. I got to give the speech
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: right to all the athletes about just kind of like
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: where we were, how we needed to stick together. And
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: then in twenty twenty one, they did this whole diversity
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Equity Inclusion Survey, and people got to actually speak about
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: what they felt it was like to work at LSU,
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: and I got to present that to the entire athletic department.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: And to me that was important cause I'm from there,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I went to school there, I live there, you know.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: And this wasn't about how many tackles I had or
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: how much TV I did.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: This was about, like the people that are part of
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: the FABRICO what makes it go and so like those
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: are two things to me that were extremely important to do.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Like I don't when I go to the games, man,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I sit in the stands, Like I don't go on
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: the sidelines. I don't ask for certain things, like my
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: things that the kids at that school be treated the
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: way like I would want to be treated because I
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: love it so much. But they just going for the money.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: You might they got kids that might play for LSU
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Alabama and Old Miss. Yeah that's where you go on
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Saturday when you've done college, right, because if you only
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: if if the people at ole Miss who were there
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: when you were there aren't there, you can't go back.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Here's in fact, bro, it's over. They don't know you,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: you know, So I think I hate that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: It's like that for these kids.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I got national ship behin. I'll
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: be Michael Urban on the side lines. Yeah, I wouldn't
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: trash cans. My problem the National Championship. I'm wow, Wake
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Force make it to the final four. I ain't been
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to a wake Force game in fifteen years. I will
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: be there, like I'm a number one fan for sure.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Do you think l like IRV is like grandfathered into
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: that level of behavior?
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like the way you
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: put that, Yeah, like we we just love him so
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: much and he's always been like that that we don't
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: even ask him to really grow up.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes you just leave people as they are. It's better.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: But you know it's not fake too, I know, like
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: like that's that's like I heard about that White House. Yeah,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: like that's truly And I don't know if I've ever
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: seen Urban person.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: He's a big dude. Like the pause, like you know
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, one of them small no, no, no,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you know six three Yeah, so he's a big dude
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: shape Yeah, shout for sure. Man. I love to play
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in that are though, you be the cowboys that White
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: House that inspired me pure Jerry Jones had to plug
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: for a show. I mean the way ship I got
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: a little powder and.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, that real on the game.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Here boy scout last boy scouts, Like I sen he'll
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: play football before.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: He's not like he's not just put together. Bro, dude,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Bro he played football. He's crazy bro for sure. For sure.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: It means like but it's like anything else you do
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: when you aren't like a superstar, you're in order to
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: stay like you have to build something out of necessity,
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like if you are if
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: you're Hooper and you're not going to be the number one,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: like it's something that you have to do that they
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: could count on every week. It's going to be there.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: And for me that was that was physicality. And the
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: other part of it is too when people start to
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: want expect something from you, to praise you for something,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: it makes you want to do it more, you know.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: And then like after a.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: While I realized, oh wait, like they are really scared
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: to come cross here, and I was like, oh what
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: good reason?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I get it?
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: And so now every so then after that, every time
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: somebody went across there, like I was like, oh yeah,
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I'm about to split him.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: How you turn that switch on and off? Though, Like
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: when I see like James Harrison, I feel like his
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: switches always always though that's an off switch. Yeah, but
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: I like you got like an off switch.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, you know, man, I play football player
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: is totally different.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: He not like he likes still like, yeah, I'm ready
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: to tackle somebody right now.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: You have been around pit Bull and you don't know
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the pit bull?
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you like when it's gonna start pit buller
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: exact same thing being around Deebo.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: That's that's wow.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like and he my boy, you know what
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I mean. So like we have a different relationship. My
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: kids love him, but like even like when I disagree
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: with him, they don't feel comfortable.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: You know, like if y'all might have a disagreement, you
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: could be like, damn be here, why you say that?
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Like when I asked him out like Debo. You know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: he said something recently about my tea and like I
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: texted him like bo, man, like why would you say that?
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Like I could tell that his text messages had muscles,
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying? Yeah, Like he was texting
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: me like I was his homeboy. He was texting like
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: I was trying to check him. And then he goes
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: FaceTime me. They say call me. That's like I'm on
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: the plane.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. He turned it off.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: I always wonder like because he played with that same
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: kind of rage, that same kind of energy.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: But it's like you turned it off, like you can
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: go on.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: You gotta be different honestly though, like James bro broke motives,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: been away wrong, Yeah, he got it right there.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Man got a brand.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: James though, man was cut so many times, like he
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: just had to to build this certain thing.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: But and I love him to death.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Like James's mom is like the scariest human I've ever
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: been around, Like like they ain't play with her. He
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: ain't play with her his sisters.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: That you know what I mean.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: So like he come from one of them households where
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: like if you fought one of them, if you had to.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Fight everybody, damn, So.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: They ain't you know what I mean, They ain't no
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: being soft, ain't nobody around that, no whole like like
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: none of that, And so they ain't. There ain't an
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: off switch to that unless he get around like his people,
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: like when he around his boys, like his sons. But
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: even them, bro, he was like they wrestled all the time.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: That's crazy, you know what I mean, Like just a
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: family of like brutality a whole moment. So it don't
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: for him, like it don't cut off for me though,
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: you know, man, I was a nerd, you know what
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. Like growing up, I was the cat that,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: like my mom was real big in the school, so
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: she had to pay for me to go to high school.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: So like if I got to see my friends will
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: make fun of me because I couldn't go outside or
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: you know, and I couldn't go to dance stuff like that.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: So I came from kind of like that bad ground.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: And two, I was a year ahead in school because
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: of what my birthday was. So I was small for.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of years.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: And you know, like behing, I was like the different
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: cat that had no real Like my parents are still married,
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: they worked there, but my pop works two three jobs,
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: and so like I was in public school with cats
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: who like might get held back, and so like I'm
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: sure you know, I'm nine years old in the fifth
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: grade and small, and this cat supposed to be in
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: the seventh you know what I'm saying, and they talking
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: to me crazy, and just in self awareness at that age,
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: I was like, I want to beat them up.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I just don't think I can't you know what I'm saying.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: And so there were things like in my life that
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: I was like, all right, whenever, whenever this even out
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: a little bit, this is never happening again.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: You get back. You know what I'm saying.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: And so like I remember when we got to high school,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: because we was all in the same grade, they were
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: still older. I was like, I'm better than him. I'm
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: better than him, and were going to see it every
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Friday night. So like those things build you. But as
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: far as like being able to cut the cut the
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: switch off, it's like you can't function in society that way.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: And I struggled with that.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: When I retired at a facility, at a training facility,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: man and my partners had to have so many meetings
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: with me because nah, this is real talk. Because I
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: was always on the turf like training people, you know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: and so like cats have come in and they might
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: be like college kids or whatever, and they be talking trash,
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: and I felt like, oh, this is just the locker room,
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: you know what I.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Mean, Like you know what I'm saying.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: And I felt like even though I'm grown, like we're
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: gonna go back and forth, like I love that and
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: to all the facts.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Are on my side, you know what I'm saying.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Like unless you're a college all American and they don't
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: even talk, it'd be the pool ones, you know what
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: I mean. So we had so many situations they'd be like,
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: oh see, you can't say that, you know what I mean?
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Or like I remember I was training his kid he
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: was in college one time, and I was just trying
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: to tell him like he did the wrong thing. And
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: it was like his first day, and he like clicked
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: out on me, like I couldn't, you know, tell him that,
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: And he was talking like I whip you, and I
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: like just walked behind him all side. I was like,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: whenever you're ready, like whenever, whenever it feels good to you,
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Like just in college now, like he was twenty one
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I was just like you just
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: let me know when this is happening so we could
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: do it the right way, you know.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: And they frame me up.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: They they call me to like Ryan, like, you can't
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: do that. And so I did have a lot of
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: these different things where like you're talking to people that
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: work there, You're talking to you know, people who are
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: in the building, and that level, like our level of
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: directness is not something that works in the real world.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: In the media space, you know, they'll be like, yeah,
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: everybody's going to lunch, you know, in the in the
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: athlete's mine. I'm like, well, they aren't my friends by myself, right,
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: But then you realize they start picking jobs and you
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: know that you know you're the one that's three Emmy
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: nominations in the row.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: You know you're the only one with it. Em me.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: You know what the numbers look like when you do
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: your work.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: But we're picking this job and I don't get it right,
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: like like this the crew right. And then you just
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: start listening to people and it's like, oh, like yeah,
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: this person's tabbed them or that so and so he's
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: close to the business whomever, right, And you start and
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: you start realizing like playing playing that game like is
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: truly part of it, but also to being able to
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: respect yourself, look at yourself in the mirror and feel
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: like you are authentically you it's probably it's more important
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: to me. But I have had to figure out how
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: to express my feelings in a way where people don't
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: feel like it's aggressive, because I feel like you could
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: tell me anything, right, Like if you be him, he
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: was like, you got an issue with me, and you
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: was like, or see, man, I don't like the way
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: you did whatever. I respect that, but you also got
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: to be willing to listen to me facts. So many
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: times people want to tell you what they feel.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: You can't, boy, swear to god.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: You know, get tricked. I mean, obviously you do your thing.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: I definitely say some moments you don't camera, you look
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: away and I'll be like, I know what he thinks, right, yeah, you.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Know like it get like I think that's I think
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: that's part of it.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Like you gotta man like you gotta learn like who
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: you're working with. Like that's why NFL Live is such
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: a dope space for us because none of us were
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: stars when they picked the show, right, Like Dan was
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: really just getting into it. Marcus had done more like
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: sec stuff. Mina was the first woman that ever had
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: a spot like that. Laura was sec So like if
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: we got on the shows, like nobody had egos, right,
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: like we weren't what we became and like none of
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: us are Hall of Fame players, and so it was
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: easy to just vibe and kind of rock out. But
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: now and y'all know what it is too, Like everybody
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: want to be a starter. Yeah, like everybody, like everybody
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: wants to shine, and you're not always in the space
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: where the person you're working with wants to see you
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: be something like and I know stephen A.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: You know he does politics now and people hate him.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: You know, we had him on our show and I
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: promise like black women acted like I commit committed like
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: domestic violence right, like they like just the way they.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Came at me.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: I can't believe you platform him this and this. You
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: know he said this about her and this person, and
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: like I was real with people. Me and Steven they
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: have all of those conversations. But he's my actual friend.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: So I don't need to go on TV or I
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: don't need to go in front of the media and
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: So y'all feel good about it, right, Like that's what
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: they want.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: They was like, you need to you need to do
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: him like you did so and so while I was
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: like I don't know so and so personally, and if
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: I do know him personally, we don't get down. We
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: don't talk on the phone. Right, So addressing this, I'm
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: addressing this as a media member. The things I disagree
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: with Steven Ay about, I call him a fact or
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: I text him, you know what I'm saying. Like when
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: the whole bron thing was going on, right, not for real,
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, I think this is enough, right,
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: I was like I think.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I was like yeah.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: I was like, you know, if we and you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: and that's my and that's my big bro. I was like,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: if we getting into conversations about what would happen if
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: as adult men of our ages, we've now taking it
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: beyond what we're supposed to do, right, And he always
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: hit me back, I know, bro, or he'll send me something.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: Now I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna do this. And so,
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: like I've been able to move in that space with him.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: But like it was early on in this year, they
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: were starting to make some different rules about people can't
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: be on certain shows, people can't do this, people can't
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: do that, and you know, we want to separate the shows.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: You want to look different he called me. He's like, man,
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: I don't care what nobody in this space due. I
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: don't care when nobody at ESPN does. You always got
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: a spot with me, Like, so I'm gonna get you.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: So he's like, so you're gonna be on Thursday and Friday.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: He's like, not just because I love you, He's like,
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: but because you're excellent at your job and it makes
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: us better. So like when you have somebody that do that,
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: for people to think that because it'll look good because
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: I would garner some sort of attention, or because the
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: community that I always stand on ten four anyway will
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: think that, Oh, you know, you win against him too. Nah,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: that's my friend. Like, I'm not doing that the Jeff
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: for y'all. And so I think that the whole space, man,
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: is just like the real world is just different than
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: the locker room, you know what I'm saying. Like, I
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: seen my homeboys punch each other in the face and
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: then go get beers and it's cool.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: And I think more or less, it don't even be
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: about correcting issues. It's just people like to see certain
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: people embarrassed or check quote unquote, it don't even be
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: about fixing the issue. You just want somebody to check somebody,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: because I mean we had some situation we had tryst somebody.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: On the pot. A lot of hate for that, it's
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of flight for that. It's so funny though
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: he's dead wrong. Sometimes he's hilarious for sure, But you know, bro.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Like I think, like that's a great conversation for this
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: space man.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Like two years ago, two super bowls ago before like
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: we found out just how awful did he was in
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: real life? We had Floyd on the show, and like
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: it was it was kind of this was even before
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: we saw the video with cast any of those things,
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: you know, and it was just kind of started and
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: Floyd just brought it up himself, like we didn't even
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: ask him. And then in doing it, he said, uh,
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I would ask my daughter, you know what,
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: you know, what does she do what? And so if
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: you you know, y'all seeing our clips from my show,
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: like we don't interrupt, like we do not argue, like.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: But y'all y'all make cry. Yeah, I said this right here,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: whatever you did, he ain't gonna bring it up. He gonna,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: God damn, I would get you. He has got into
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the root.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: You are to go to their think pivot man the stole.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: I said, no, but look deal, but that ship we
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: always tell people jokingly, but we come on here because
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: y'all laughing, show y'all platform. And I'm like, if y'all
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: got some dark ship, go see or see from that.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Let him and Fred, you know, trying to go crack
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the joke to try to keep you even will come
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: on us when you're here, bro, Like, we don't even
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: it got obviously the Bees show the show that made it,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like like that was the
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: show and so and so like when Bees pulled up,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: he probably been doing like three months.
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: He pulls up and like if he saw y'all set up,
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: he probably feel better about it. But like when you
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: do a lot of other podcasts, they don't have all
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: this that, y'all have all these cameras, the light so
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: all that. We shot it at a penhouse somebody we knew,
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: so we're on like the balcony, it's like the lights
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: everywhere at the cameras. She was like, hold on, man,
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: I thought this was just gonna be like a little
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: podcast for ten minutes. Like we couldn't get an answer
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: out of him. Really it was just basically like he
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: just wanted to hoop, you know, and he wasn't really
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: sort of communicating it in a way that like we
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: could just keep asking questions or follow ups. And then
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: it's different for football players, like we kind of go
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: to one school. He transferred to all those schools and
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: the same thing you was talking about relationships earlier to
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: be here. And I was like, hey, man, how you
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: learned to build relationships though if you had a different school,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: like that was when I learned how to get friends
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: and pollin Blynden and all that. And he was just like, man,
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: excuse my language. He was like, I fucking didn't. And
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: that started the conversation. And so like after that, the
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: next time when Shaq came in, he was like, man,
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: I ain't crying. So he already came there with something
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: on his mind because that's the way the show works.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: And that was when he said on the show that
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: he shouldn't have cheated on Shawnee right now, how he
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: was going to an empty house. But in truth, I
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: didn't know that, you know what I'm saying, And too,
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: I don't even want to ask that said that's not
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: even so, but after that man, like when we got
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: the Rock on he d M Fred literally and I
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: don't know who got DMS from Rock, but he don't type.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: He just always talked in that voice. Oh yeah, Fred
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: is the Rock.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: We know who you Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: And so he was like, and he basically said, I
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: love what y'all. Platform is the way people can open
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: up I have. He's like, I have some things that
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: I want to share. And so going into it, I
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: knew exactly what he was going to talk about in
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: some parts of it because he came there to do that.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: So we get we do to your point, we get
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of people when stuff is dark, like when
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: there is trauma, that come on our show to talk
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: about it and to get it out.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Y'all.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Floyd Maywether episode is like our Columbus short episode. You know,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: you know, classic himsude for sure. But like you said,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: the pivot, congratulations on that man. Congratulations shows y'all, our institution,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: y'all are a pillar in our community. Y'all have done
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: great work. I love the balances that show has. That's
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: just an amazing show. Man, Like y'all represent a lot
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: of different stuff like you said, it's a place for
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: people to come and talk, and you see a lot
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: of people open up. A lot of people aren't comfortable
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: in most places. So for people to come and share
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: it with y'all.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: That's what I like. When y'all have I said, oh
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: ship bro, crazy Dog, watch them in a joint. You
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: go talk.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: But like even even now, one man and for for me,
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: like now, like when the show started four years ago,
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: I wasn't what I was in the media space. The
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: pivot wasn't you know a thing. And so like when
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: we get somebody like Thug or there are people that
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: hit us up and he wants to come on the show,
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: like I take that. That's a compliment to me because
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: we three former we three formal four players who in
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: truth aren't a part of that generation, you know what
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like like we just aren't like my kids
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: twenty six, twenty four and twenty you know what I mean.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: So we aren't a part of like Thugs generation. But
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: the fact that he'll come sit with us like that's
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: important to me. I have an idea. I don't know
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: from the production standpoint now, the problem would be this
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: because this is what I learned about the podcast challenge.
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: Everybody who wasn't mentioned tried to put themselves in it
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: for sure, right, talk about it.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: We're not talking to y'all.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: The people that we wanted to talk to we have
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: named by name, right, and it's gonna be fun.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have a good time. It's a level of respect.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: But I do think that if there was a way
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: to like truly have a conversation, and you have to
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: like limit the people, right because obviously we got three people,
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: y'all got four, But to be able to just have
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: a conversation about life where it could be all of us,
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: you know what, I don't know how you platform it.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you film it, but I think
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: you know, there's y'all and then there's us, and then
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: there's what Shade is, and then there's million dollars worth
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: of game where like they got two of the most
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: different humans in the world. But if you ever just
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: really sit down and talk to those dudes, man, there's
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: so much wisdom and experience. Like I would love for
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: all of us to be able to get together some
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: sort of like round table conversation and just chop it up.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: But it'll probably. You know, we should eat and drink
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: if we want to and just like have that conversation.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Could it could?
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: I think it could be life changing in the sense
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: for people who love our shows, because talking to you
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: would bring a thought to my mind that I may
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: not normally have same with the same with T. And
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: I think that'd be really cool for people to see
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: all of us as black men be able to sit
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: down break bread in a way where it's not a competition,
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: to where it's all love.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: And that's what we're talking about the podcast Limpits are
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: so dope.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: It's because, I mean, outside of us playing the games
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: that don't really matter, but just sit down, breaking bread
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: and just being We're in a market that changes every
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: single day. We're in a land that changes every single year.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Like the success is few and far between. We definitely
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: beneficial for everybody. Sit down, have a good time.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Man. Everybody goes crazy for sure. Man. Yeah, we still
• 56:07

  Speaker 1: Of Lil Wayne?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: Lil Wayne's verses on that on that album? The album
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: is a classic if Birdman doesn't have the second verse
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: on every song and listens, listen, fact he lost his
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: army guns, he lost his mind. That's on that album.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: First Mama Brother. And there's a moment in every song
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: that you got to contemplate. Do you go to the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: next song fast forward? Are you gonna wheezy verse the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: third one? Because that's really the one you've been waiting
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: like you gotta When you riding in your car, You're like, damn,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: this is dilemma, Like I don't And I'm from the
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: n O bird Man legend.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: No absolutely med him cool as well, But all right,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: so no limited cash money now we talking because you're
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: from don't want to be able to go back home
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: New Orleans. They won the versus as a whole, but
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: there we go money they lost. So I will say
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: this because how it was played out right when you
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: when you take the individual people the sum.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, like the individual parts of cash money were better, yes,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: right Landslide the individual yeah, Wayne Julie. Yeah, but no
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: limit without no limit though there is no cash money
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: even though cash money was already already making music locally
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: right BG right there they were, Mady already making music
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: locally good.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: You're good about yeah.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: The but like the n O got put on the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: map with about it about it and all that they
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: did me a X you know what I'm saying, Like
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: Bro master P really had people who wasn't from New
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: Orleans saying that was yeah. You know so I think
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: like that was it. And then when Juvie released four
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: hundred Degrees, it took New Orleans hip hop to a
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: different level. Like that was that. That's kind of the transition,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: Like you need them both, like you truly this is
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: the most New Orleans answer I ever heard.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: He said, he trying to go back home. Yeah, it's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: just the whole spill on bird Now he wanted to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: bring you back together. That's how I get when this
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: come out, they're gonna be like, man, we gotta go
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: do the picture. People cash money. But that's that.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: But like for when we talk about the show though, man,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: like the fact that I could text Wayne and he's
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: part of the soundtrack to like My Life.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: We were home and we did a show with p
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: at this art museum that's that's in the city for
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: You tell seventeen year old RC that walked onto LSU's
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: campus that, like, that's what like in your life. Those
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: people are going to see you and be proud that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: they're from where you're from, or that you're from where
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: they're from. Like I think, like that's the like that's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: the dopest part about everything for me. Man, Like I
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: was undrafted, you know, and so I had a regular
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: job after my second year when Coughland cut me.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: But I had a regular job, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: Like I would wake up because I loved on the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: West Bank of New Orleans, bro I would wake up,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: drive an hour and fifteenth hour and thirty minutes to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: LSU work work, out, drive back home basically like eat,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: see my kids for a little bit, because I had
• 1:04:06

• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: And so when Washington actually called me for the workout,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: I had walked from my office at the Tiger Athletic Foundation,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: which is where I was working at LSU, to Mustchamp,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: well must Champ. But I was like, hey, how do
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: like you sign up? Or what's the process of being
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: a grad assistant? Because I'd always wanted to coach, and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: you know, I'd actually called my old lady sitting in
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: the office because we had just bought our first house.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: We got married this summer before, and I was like, okay, babe,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: like is it possible that you can do your job
• 1:04:45

  Speaker 4: everything in place in life to just be like a
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: regular dude, you know.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: And I remember I got this book.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: When I got married, and it was called The Power
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: of a Print and Husband, Right, So I just prayed
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: and prayed and prayed, and I was like, you know,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: when you get cut and you're an undrafted guy, if
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: you played two years, you felt like you did something.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: I was like, man, at least I had money, saved,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: more money than my parents ever had. I was like,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: I got a life to start. And that night, man,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: I pray and I was like, God, you know, I'm
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: telling everybody I'm cool, and I'm sort of cool. I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: was like, but I would love an opportunity, you know.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: And I was like, and if you make that happen,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: I'm good. If you don't, like, I'm so grateful for
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: all you've done for me. So I'm walking back from
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: mus Champ's office, I get a call that like, hey, Washington,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: gonna bring you in. But like I've been working out
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: after work.
• 1:05:36

• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: I go to the workout, I play really well, my
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: drills are great, but I'm damnar dying because I'm tired.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: And at this point I didn't know how sickle cell
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: affected me too. Right first day of practice, we do.

  Speaker 1: I damn to die.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: Sean Taylor walked over to me. He was like, dog, like,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: you gotta get up cornerbacks. Coach comes to me bro
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: in the middle of practice, in the middle of the practice
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: and goes, if you don't do something, because he was
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: with me in New York, if you don't do something
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: in this next practice, they gonna cut you and just
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: bring somebody in that could at least finish practice. I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: get two picks in that practice, end up making the
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: team starter in Game four. Me and Sean Taylor start
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: the next two years. Then I go to Pittsburgh and
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: like that's the rest of life. But during that training camp,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: at the first cuts, my name was the last name
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: on the list.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: And you know how it is. When you get cut,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: they call you, they tell you, hey, come in.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: So before all of that happens, right, you're gonna have
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: the conversation. So I'm on the phone with my old
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: lady and my wife, like really from Louisiana. You know
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like I spelled cuss words and she
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: don't do none of that.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: So she clicking out.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: And like I told you all though the day they
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: called me the night before, I just prayed that I
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: got a chance. So I mean, I got on my knees,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: bro and I just thank God for an opportunity. I
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: was like, if this didn't work out, then this must
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: not be for me. I must have a different thing.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: I brought my bags in to work the next day.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: I was telling everybody goodbye, appreciated him. Greg Williams calls
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: me to the office and he goes, if we were
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: picking the team today, you'd make the team. The reporter
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: just figured I was going to be cut because they
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: hadn't told him the last name and I was the
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: last one that got the camp. But like I actually
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: wasn't damn, you know what I mean. And I always
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: think back to that moment because I prayed for a
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: certain thing and I had gotten that thing, and whether
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: it worked out or not, that wasn't what I prayed for.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: And like to have that moment with God of gratitude,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: it kind of shaped the way I saw the rest
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: of my career because like everything after that moment was
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: extra to me. You know what, I'm saying like it
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't promise to me, it wasn't what I asked for,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: and so like I always worked in it in that
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: way man, and celebrated it like that. But yeah, man,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: like that was probably in my life, like the the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: turning point because if I don't get that call, if
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: I don't make that team, obviously I don't become a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: super Bowl champion. I'm not in this point at least
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: in this way of my life.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Intervention man, story like that true journey man for sure,
• 1:08:17
