  Speaker 1: love the phenomenal work that they do. I went to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: go to Memphis this offseason. I was like, Bro, I
• 3:07

  Speaker 3: Well, my my organization.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I started my foundation, man I wanted to say probably
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: like eight nine years ago. And uh, you know, the
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: real inspiration for me was was always my grandmother, you
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, because you know, in my mind,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: in my eyes really man like, she was like the
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: first person that I saw that like was always like
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: in the service mod you know what I mean, like
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: just willing to help people like and my grandmother didn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: have much, but you know, whatever she did have, you
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, she was.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Willing to share.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And when when I got drafted to Arizona, man like,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: it was a good It was a good situation for
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: me because I was around a good I was around
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a group of football players, like guys that's probably going
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: to the Hall of Fame. But those dudes was like
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: off the field too, you know what I mean, Like, uh,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: you know Kalais Campbell and you know Larry Fitzgerald, Patrick Peterson,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I think fits and Kalai is like one man in
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the year, you know what I mean.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So like, uh, those guys were like heavy in the community.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Like for me as a rookie, you know what I mean.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: So I soaked up a lot of that game. And uh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: you know, I always told myself like, man, once I
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: get to like my second contract, like once I'm straight
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and secure, you know, I do much more you know
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: in the community. Uh. So it's kind of worked out
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: like that for me. But this year, Manu, I chose
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to represent. Every year, I choose to present my foundation. Uh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: but this year was a little different because, uh, you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: lately I partnered with you know, son of the Saint
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: uh organization you know from New Orleans, based in New Orleans,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and they got a lot to do with uh you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: black young black kids who uh may needed like a
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: father figure, you know, maybe they need a mentor, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: a role model to look up to. So uh, you
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: know that that was kind of personal for me. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: it's been cool working with them and uh.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Shout out Sonny. Yeah whatever Sonny's last name is, I've
• 5:15

  Speaker 3: You know, Uh, you know that they've been a big
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: blessing too.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Son of a saying that that's the last
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: time I normally since I've been in New Orleans, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: take one of these young bucks under my wing while
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: they're in high school, you know what I'm saying, like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a big toor mentee program, and once they get off
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to college, I sent them on their way. Last last
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: kid I saw it was, you know, mentoring. Uh, Trey Hand,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: his dad was norm Hand played for the Saints back
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in the gap.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Whatever got him from son of a Saint. Trey Hand
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: never let Bro.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He just like inserted himself to the family boy in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: college University of Arkansas, Monticello, Monticello, whatever it is. I'm
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: still talking to him almost weekly. I'm like, hey, man,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: are you supposed to graduates a fly already? Bro?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I should have a new mintee already.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He's like, nah, Bro, I'm family. You know what I'm saying,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: but that's just that part of New Orleans, bro is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just the community feel is always there, you know, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: family feel. I try and tell people like when they
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: come here and aren't from here or don't know nothing
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: about New Orleans, I was like, if anything, the strongest
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: part of that about this fan base is it feels
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: like a real family, Like they when you hurting, they hurting.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, they tell you straight up on the streets
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: like hey, when we win, you know, when we win,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it's good in the city. And when the Saints lose,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: crime goes up. Black Air Force energy comes out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Quick right right, speaking of being Look.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Why do we call you five?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: You?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: You was like seven the l s U when it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was a prime number was thirty two in Arizona and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: in Houston, knas city for show with thirty Yeah, hey
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you for show thirty two? Here where five come from?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And wild like.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: So so five, so so five. I don't think I've
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: ever really told the story. So five actually comes from,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: uh it has. It has a lot to do with
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: my grandmother. So most if you ask any most people
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and you ask me, hey, what time is from, most
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: people will probably say the seven War War, and they're
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: right right, because there's like a catch, you know, like
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: like my first couple of years on Earth, I live
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: twenty nine thirty Orleans Avenue, which is the fifth Ward.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Now, the people that know me, they know that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: So that's kind of like where a five come from,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: you know, because I'm like a seventh Ward dude. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: everybody know, like, man, he might really be from the
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: fifth Wark. That's where grandma. That's where Grandma lived.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: So people say, okay, yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: That's where the five come from. And that's actually where
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: my jersey number come from two so uh you know
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: to plus two and so uh yeah, man, that's like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: uh what is that like a history lesson?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Man, and here and here, I'm like, yeah, that boy
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: really from the seventh line, and say, you know, right right,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: defense dinner, you take us out to the seventh Ward,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you know, you take the whole defense to the seventh Ward.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, he's just showing love to his people's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: from the fifth.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Ward, right Man, I'm.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: In the locker room like, I'm like, T, you don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: be answer to the T. I'm like, five, turn right around.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, we we talked about the locker room too,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but you was like earlier this season, Bro, you had
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: one interception and you were like, man, I was like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I gotta turn, I gotta pick up my pants.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But like I ain't never not let the team interceptions.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Then you then you.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Had that two piece right and like you like you're
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: right on time now, Like where did that come from?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And what you see for the rest of these last
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: five games five?
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: To be honest, Bro, Man, I just see uh and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: not just me, Bro, but I see all us like, uh,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: like just doing whatever it take to win, Bro.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: And I mean you know how it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Is on the defense side of the ball, Like you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the more the more you can take the ball away, bro,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, especially like in you know, late
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: November December, you know, going into the playoffs, like you
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: want to you want to be able to you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: take the ball away and kind of help that, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: help you build momentum bro, and confidence. So I think defensively, Bro,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: like that's like the model for I mean even you
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: like if somebody asked, Hey, do you want to just
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: sack the quarterback or do you want to sack and
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: take the ball from him? I want the whole I
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: want the hat trick. You know what I'm saying, like
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: the fumble animal recovery.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You know, need it?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bro?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: So uh man, just I just see all of us
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: manager's just just playing way more uh you know, aggressive,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you know, hungrier, you know, just trying to do whatever
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: it takes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Bro. Right, you're right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: See See that's like when you have to an interception game.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: They were like, oh it's vintage Tyre Matthews.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I was like vintage boy eating what vintage said, like
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: he oh what, what's what's up with this vintage part?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: You know how I get, Bro, when you get over thirty.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Bro, you know, man, I hear you, but I don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: if I don't see no slow down, I don't hear you.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm over here looking like man. If they always if
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: they're already quick to be like he older, all right,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we'll tell some of these young boys to start out
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: working them. You know what I'm saying, Like that makes
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: everybody else elevate, if you know, if you know what
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you're doing, Shoot, make them young.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Put the young bucks pressure on one time. We gotta
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: make we gotta make.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Them step up too, for sure, no doubt.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Tell me about the leadership in the dB room, because
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you know me, you know what I'm saying, Like w's loud,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm overly loud and active in the team. And then
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you bring up your leadership, you know, to to the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to the dbs, which I've always said, dvs in every
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: every team ever, just I swear they don't like each other,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: like in my mind, like D line, you're always gonna
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: be like the closest knit right, Like any team I've
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: ever been on, the D line hangs out together. Right,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: we hang out every Thursday, win, lose a draw. You know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: if the even if the defense don't hang out, the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: defensive line is gonna hang out.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Well you know how it is on the back end,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: brows on the island. Yeah, but too, bro, A lot
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: of us we're supposed to play like offense.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: We just we just weren't good enough.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if you you know, I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: know if we got a living in that d but
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: you know, and you know what I mean, we think
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: it's all you know, that that prime time syndrome, you
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? Uh, But nah, Bro, I think
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I think we got a good dB room, right, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: we got some dudes that could that could really play
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: you know I think for me, bro, uh, you know
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: every day knowing like I got like a young dB room.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: It's just being consistent, like showing those dudes with a
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: consistent pro look like you know, in meetings, you know
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: obviously on the field, just just trying to take care
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: of my and it's the right way, knowing that even
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: if those do not necessarily asking me for advice, a
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: lot of them are watching me right right. So I
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: mean that's how some people learn too. They don't necessarily
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: communicate with you. They they can watch what you do
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and watch how you act, and you know what I mean,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: like it can kind of shape their perspective or you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: their direction. So I just try to be like a
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: like a sound person for one, bro, like.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: A sound of mine. Uh. I try to try to
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: tell them the truth, you know what I mean all the.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Time, keeping shoot shooting buck at all times for sure.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And Bro, you do you do it as.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Such like a calm demeanor, Bro, like you so level
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in the room, Like I'd be like, I'm like, Bro,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to shake, because you know me,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I'll be out there shaking the room up. I'm come,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm come to like no this is what we're doing,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: this how we're doing it, This is what we're going
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to do. This is where we're going. Like it's a response,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you'll be like, man, that ain't right. The boys just
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: be like he's saying that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: You mean this? Yeah for sure, bro?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: And you know, like I said, I think a lot
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: of that got to do with like you know, each
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: and other day that they're gonna get the same time,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Like, so they could come on.

  Speaker 1: That consistency, which is crazy, brocause like when you came
• 13:10

• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to overcome. They try to hit you with that like

• 15:16
  Speaker 4: him a while, you know what I mean, to come
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: around and you know, ask like those real questions.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I always I've always talked about it on this podcast
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: or whatever, like it just brings me back to you,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of course, like that business side of football, even like
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you though you play for the home team now, like
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I remember, we we copped you, you know, we copt
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you off free agency?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: What does that free agency feel like? You know what
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, like, what does what does that feel like?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: In terms of being at a team, and like when
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you came to us from from can't see, Like, Bro,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you they didn't even offer you Like did that add
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a chip on your shoulder? Like how did it make
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you feel? How are you like, you know, how did
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that change your mindset? And if it did at all?
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: To be honest, bro, I think for some dudes, freegency
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: is right, Like, I mean, it's probably like one of
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: the best moments of their life, you know. Uh, you
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: know a lot of them going to you know, sign
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: you know pretty good, you know contracts, you know what
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: And I think for other players it's different.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: You know, for me, for example, right, and I mean
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: we was kind of talking about it earlier right in
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the show. I've always felt h a responsibility to like
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: the communities I played in, and so.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: You know, most players don't.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Do it right, right, Like most guys aren't invested outside
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: of the defensive meeting, you know what I mean.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Going home and like like nothing else exists.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: You know, all these all these schools out here, all
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: these people that you could like touch effect, be around,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: learn your community, do all this like anyways.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: But you know, uh, not for me, Like it was
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: tough because like I didn't know I was going to
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: the Saints. I didn't know, like I didn't know the
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: situation that was like waiting for me, right.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: So you know when you when you like have those
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: type of you know, uh moments like where man, you're like,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: damn you like, bro, I just sacrificed three yearss like
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: I gave everything I could, you know, to whatever organization,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: right and so and then it's.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Time for you to move on, right.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: And for some players it's easy to move on, you
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, like they don't really care. And
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: I think for other players, which is a small percentage,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: like like they wear that, you know what I mean,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: and so uh. But the blessing in my situation was,
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: you know, even though it took me a while, you know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: to kind of get over you know, damn, I an'tbody
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: be a chief no more. And you know, I got
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: kids that you know, like love the chiefs and you know,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: and you know, I got a family, like you know
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: what I mean, like like this this is our home
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: right and you know, now you got to pick up
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: and move. So it's a lot of those type of
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: you know, conversations and you know issues.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You gotta kind of iron out.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: But but the blessing for me was, man, like, you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: like I got a chance to come back home. You know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I got a chance to come back to the crib. So,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: you know, as bad as it kind of stunk for me,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: like damn, you know, I ain't gonna be a part
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: of that no more, but you know, you never know
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: that what God got waiting on you.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: So to the crew we go.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: That was a blessing for me, bro. But but some dudes, man, like,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: they don't have that, you know, you.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Know, we signed you and then I was like, all right, cool,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and then you didn't show up to the training camp
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and I was.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Like, hey, what what the hell did happen? They're like
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: and he was like, yeah, he said, he's having some family.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: She's like, you just had to get your mind right
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: from that, Like I never asked, and I've always wondered,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: like right, like, I was like, man, he come home.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: You got to make sure. You got to make sure
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: everybody everybody knows he here for business and not pleasure.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Right, And man, that was that was important for me. Bro.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: You know, you know, I've been in the league long enough.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: You know, I've done a lot of good things, right,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: and you know, I felt like I had kind of
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: earned that grace right to be able to take that
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: time right because you see dudes that don't take the
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: time right. And then after a while, you like, now
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: what happened to him? Like like why why? Why is
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: it like that with him?
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: And it could be you know, him getting in trouble,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: It could be it could be a bunch of different.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Things, you know what I mean.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: And so for me, man, you you try to avoid
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: that because you know when you when you lock in
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: on the football season, like that that's important, you know
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like like that's what's putting food on
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the table, Like that's what's allowing with your kids to
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: travel the world and right, so like you won't be
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: all in right, like you on half of your mind
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: to be on football and then the other half you
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: worrying about all these different things that that's kind of
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: going on outside of it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, bro, like like like that's what happened.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I was like I've been waiting. I was like we
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: talked that, Like I was like you're like, man, I'm
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: good now. I was like, good now, what the hell
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: that means?
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Like all right, and then we got to see you've
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: been locked in forever from them, and you know, the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: second year with the team, you know, three interceptions in.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Bro, he's gonna finish with six. I don't care.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I'm calling it bro.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: So that being said, Bro, everything that you you know

• 20:36
  Speaker 1: up with son of son of a saint leads you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to you know, now being told you know you're the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Saints Walter Payton Man of the Year. Uh, you know
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Canada in for New Orleans? Like how does that make
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you feel? Just feel different than anywhere else? Does it
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: feel different because it's hometown and you you like you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: really got the key to the city, Like yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Bro, seven seven war five man.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Because you know, really, Bro, like that that's that's that's
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: why I did it, you know what I mean?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: You know that that's why you do the right things.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: That's that's why you know, you try to get your
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: life on track. It wasn't for like people that didn't
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: know me, right, you know what I'm saying, Like, like,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: you don't try to put together a successful life or
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: a successful career for people that don't know you, right,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: You want people that do know you to be proud
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: of you, you know what I mean. And so like
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: like I say that to say, bro, like my motivation
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: has always been New Orleans, right, and like trying to
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: make my people proud, and you know, trying to make
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: my family proud.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: And you know, like my grandmother not here no more,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: but like I knew she would be you know, like
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: So for me, bro, Man, it's just a full circle
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: moment because it's like damn like.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Like all of because because a lot of times, bro.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Like early on in my career, right, like, uh, when
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I was quote unquote uh a different person you know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: was always the same person, right, I was.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Just a eighteen nineteen year old who you know got.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: In trouble, right, and they just hit you with that
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: troubled youth he said, like, hell he's trouble, come on, right,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: One incidence doesn't make you trouble, right.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: But you know, early on in the league, bro, like you,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: especially me, I missed out on what I feel like
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: it is a lot of fun because I was so
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: focused on a game, right, Like I wanted to have
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: a successful career. So man, I ain't start going on
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: vacations to like my fourth year in the league. You
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like in all season none none,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: bro like and but but that was like the level
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: of sacrifice like that I that I had right and
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: so but you don't feel that when you're doing it right.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: You're like, damn, all my teammates going up there in
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: the Bahamans date they this way, like they having a
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: ball and here you is just so focused on not
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: messing it up. And so you know, it was some
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: moments early on in my career like damn, bro, like
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: it don't even feel like I'm in the league because
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm so serious right, like, like I'm just
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: trying to do the right thing. So so it's good
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: to look back on that, bro and be like, damn,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: you made the right decision, Like you was doing the
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: right things.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Like right, like all that paid off.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: So what was what was that transition? Though?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Like was that was that you adding on like meditating?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Was that you like you know, guys, guys in locker room,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: we have doctor doctor Chambliss or whatever, you know, a
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: therapy coach and like, and I always say that because
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I know there's a stigma around athletes or even black
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: men in general, you know, not wanting to go to therapy.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, bro, like go talk it out. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: try to tell you know, my young books. Now, I'm like, hey, man,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: talk to somebody sooner rather than later. Like I didn't
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: even think about talking to a therapist or having therapy
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: sessions or even somebody you can bounce ideas off until
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I was like eight years in and you you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Try it out, You're like, this ain't bad. I don't.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I won't see you every week, but I see you sometimes.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Right right, man? I loved actually were just talking about it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: You know. Last last year for training camp, I think
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I missed like six practices, like three of those days.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I was like like in a uh it was like
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: a wellness therapy uh you know center, right, So like
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: I'm always down for that, Like I still I still
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: got my therapist, you know that I talked to.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: What the hell is a wellness therapy therapy?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: SHT?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Like like it's like a resort, Like man, it's like,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: uh is a car wash for the mind?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bro, basically, but it's like different things like obviously
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: you know any therapist session, right, people, Most people think
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: of therapy and they thinking like, oh man, I got
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: to sit in front of somebody and telling my whole
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: life story.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And and they're trying to find the root to all
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: my problems, like don't solve me.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: You know a lot of people don't like doing that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I don't really like doing it, but I know when
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: I have to do it, it's kind of cool to
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: release that. But the place I went to, man, it's like, man,
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: you go for walks on the lake, you know you uh,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: they got like horse therapy, you know what I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Like it's just you on a horse and you you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: rubbing the horse.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Man. It's crazy, bro, But it's like it's therapeutic.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: You and you and you and you and your z
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: So yeah, bro, But but but but my transition broke
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: was it was serious, bro, because obviously you you do
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: the therapy, you know part of it. But you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I had started really getting into like yoga, you know
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, and like meditation right and you know
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: a lot of people that I work with now was
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: on them. I credit them too, man, because I had
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: like a good kind of supports, Like I said.

  Speaker 4: So it's like I had I had all their resources, right,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: So, shoot, you probably even had Darnell Dockett big strolls,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: big stroll.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Like you need something, you need some muscle therapy.
• 25:54

  Speaker 2: Like why am I edgy? Why am I irritable?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Why am I? You know?

• 26:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes you need other people to help you with that,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you know, again just to bounce ideas off. So I
