1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to Off the Edge with Me, your host, Cam

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Jordan can't wait to talk about everything else that did

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: not pertain to the Saints losing, but I'll talk about

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: that too, So that's what we'll probably start off. I'm

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: also going to bring in, you know, just the reaction

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: to Dre Greenlaw's ejection in the forty nine er Eagles game.

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Who's right, Who's wrong? Stick with me, we'll talk about it,

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna bring in one of my teammates,

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: one of my one of my friends, my guys on

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: the squad, you know, man with three interceptions, a man

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: who just got the Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee,

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthews. So stick with me on Off the Edge

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: with Me, your host, Let's get into it. Start this

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: off right and proper. We're gonna say the Saints star

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: officially on the streak on the losing side, and that

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: does not feel great. Hate it. We have now lost

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: our third game in a row and to the Detroit Lions,

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: which I think are a really good team led by

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, who was Formula Norlan Saints Aaron Glenn on

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator side, who's with the ner Lean Saints.

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you lose to Detroit by a touchdown,

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: and honestly, the Saints have been digging themselves in a

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: hole at the beginning of the game for the last

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: few games. You can clearly see a noticeable change in

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: how we lose games when we start off trailing and

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: not by trailing by one touchdown or you know, it's

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: multiple scores. Man, that's you know, just the tailor tape

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: is when you have a horrendous first quarter, you dig

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: yourself too deep in a hole. It's hard to fight out,

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: and the team has a lot of fight. The team

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: has a lot of hard the team has a lot

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: of get back. You can see in the tail of

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: tapes when you turn on the second half and the

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: defense is as downing the second half doesn't mean like

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: if you don't come out hot and play complete sixty minutes,

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: clearly beatable. And that's where we are. So we have

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: to find our way to correct this first quarter. We

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: correct the first quarter. We start off hot, you know,

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: we go to the halftime up. I don't see us

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: losing to anybody minus the one time we lost our

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: quarterback in the third quarter and Derek Carr and James

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: took over and we lost to Green Bay Packers. You know,

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: when we take an early on lead, a commanding lead,

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: and we don't look back, that's how you end up

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: with the game like we played against the Patriots thirty

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: five zero. That's what I'd like to see for the

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: remaining five games. I'd like to see us starting hot, fast, quick,

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: and never look back. Let's get there. And also, you know,

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: this game, I think I got relegated to a whole

50
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen snap seventeen, I'd like to say seventeen,

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: which i'd say is new. But also, you know, we

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: at that again. I'm not sure what liberty is. I'm

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm at liberty to divulge and the information about an injury.

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: But I had an injury that I was dealing with,

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, and made it to the point where I

56
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: got to work out day before the game and everything

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: was good. And you know, we've got to practice the

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: Saturday to play Sunday, and so whatever role that was given,

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm willing to accept and do to the fullest of

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: my abilities. And so as I get healthier, I assume

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rapidly just be healed, I'll be delivered. So

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna go get it, you know again, five games left.

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: We've got in division opponent coming to us this week

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: and the Caroline of Panthers, so we have to be

65
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: able to get after Bryce Young, make them uncomfortable in

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: the pocket. You know, we have to be the difference

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: The D line has to be the difference maker. Being

68
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: able to shut down the run and get after Bryce

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Young just is what it needs to happen. Has to happen,

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: so we don't have this conversation next week. Even though

71
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: we lost this game, there's a lot of wins on

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the field just from guys being able to play, Guys

73
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: like Zach Bond getting the sack also as well as

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, just guys in general supporting their foundation, bringing

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: awarenesses to their causes. Because this week was a My Cleats,

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: My Cause week where guys get to do just that,

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: wear cleats that are customized to bring awareness to their cause.

78
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: Some guys had, you know, a teammate of mine had

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: awareness Theroy cancer. My guy, Tyed Matthews, you know, represented

80
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: his his foundation and he'll tell us about that when

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: he comes in and with the interview, bringing in our

82
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: next topic being the you know situation of the forty

83
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: nine Ers Eagles games. I'm irritated with the family after

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: the game, you know, trying to take my trying to

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: take my cool, decompressed from football, and I turned on football.

86
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if that makes sense or not, but

87
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: we're watching the forty nine Ers Eagles game and you

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: see Dre Greenlaw getting kicked out of a game for

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: a tackle that led to a sideline where the Eagles

90
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: thought he gave a little bit extra sauce, and you know,

91
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: little scuffle ensues. I'm not gonna to fight a little

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: scuffle of pushing contests ensues between the players, you know,

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: the players, and of course somebody who was not a

94
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: player had nothing really to do with the blood, sweat

95
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: and tears being out in the game. But I'm sure

96
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: he was all bought in. You know, he's clearly a

97
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: man was you know, I've seen t shirts, sweatshirts, whatever

98
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: it is, Twitter posts, Instagram post about you don't mess

99
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: with whatever. His name is, the older gentleman that's been

100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: a security personnel. We've got a security guy on our

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: team and I've never seen him. You know, my guy

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: Danny Lawless would never I don't think I'm gonna say

103
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: that now, but like, if it ever happens, I'm gonna

104
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: stick up for Danny anyways. But the Philadelphia Eagles security

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: personnel got into the fray. You're sixty, bro relaxed, like

106
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: you got brittle bones. Maybe you're not sixty fifty forty five,

107
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, but maybe just let the players play and

108
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the players handle it, and you stay your lane. By

109
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: the way, he did not say in his lane, and

110
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Dre greenlaw felt like he was a threat and addressed him,

111
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: gave him a little he mind joe business, and somehow

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: gets thrown out of the game for I'm still not

113
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: clear on why he got thrown out of the game.

114
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: And then you know, the Philadelphia Eagle security guy got

115
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: got kicked out the game as well. But I think

116
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia there was probably a phenomenal trade. You know.

117
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: My boy from from Philly was in town and was like,

118
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: was like, man, that's not a bad trade off a

119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: security personnel for one of their top defensive players. We'll

120
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: take it every time. So it just is what it is.

121
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't feeling the type of way about it other

122
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: than stay in your lane. Let the players handle it

123
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: just is what it is. Appreciate you coming off for

124

00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: why don't I do more with this? You know what

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, why don't I do more for somebody else?

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: But you know your organization and what is it? What

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: does it mean or was it represent for you?

160
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: Well, my my organization.

161
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: I started my foundation, man, I wanted to say, probably

162
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: like eight nine years ago.

163
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, the real.

164
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 2: Inspiration for me was was always my grandmother, you know

165
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: what I mean, because you know, in my mind, in

166
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: my eyes, really man like, she was like the first

167
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: person that I saw that like was always like in

168
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: a service mode, you know what I mean, like just

169
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: willing to help people, like and my grandmother didn't have

170
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: much but you know, whatever she did have, you know

171
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: what I mean, she was willing to share. And when

172
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: when I got drafted to Arizona, man, like, it was

173
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: a good It was a good situation for me because

174
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: I was around a good I was around a good

175
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: group before ball players, like guys that's probably going to

176
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. But those dudes was like off

177
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: the field too, you know what I mean, Like, uh,

178
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: you know Kalais Campbell and you know Larry Fitzgerald, Patrick Peterson,

179
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: I think fits and Kalaire is like one man in

180
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: the year, you know what I mean. So like, uh,

181
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: those guys are like heavy in the community. Like for

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: me as a rookie, you know what I mean, So

183
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: I soak up a lot of that game. And uh,

184
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: you know I always told myself like, man, once I

185
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: get to like my second contract, like once I'm straight

186

187
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: in the community. So it's kind of worked out like

188
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: that for me. But this year, man, Uh, I chose

00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: at a mentee program, and once they get off the college,

214

00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: Trey Hand never left Bro. He just like inserted himself

219
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: to the family boy in college, University of Arkansas, Monticello, Monticello,

220
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I'm still talking to him almost weekly.

221
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, man, are you supposed to s graduates

222
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: a fly already? Bro? I should have a new mintee already.

223
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: He's like, Nah, Bro, I family, you know what I'm saying.

224
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: But that's just that part of New Orleans, Bro is

225
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: just the community feel is always there, you know, the

226
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: family feel. I try and tell people like when they

227
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: come here and aren't from here or don't know nothing

228
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: about New Orleans, I was like, if anything, the strongest

229
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: part of that about this fan base is it feels

230
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: like a real family. Like they when you hurting, they hurting.

231
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: You know. They tell you straight up on the streets like, hey,

232
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: when we win, you know, when we win, it's good

233
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: in the city. And when the Saints lose, crime goes up.

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of being look, why do we call you five? You?

235
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: You was like seven. The l s U when it

236
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: was a prime number was thirty two in Arizona, and

237
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: in Houston. Ken's city for show was thirty two. Hey

238
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: you for show thirty two?

239
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: Here?

240
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: Where'll five come from?

241
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: And why?

242
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Like so so five? So so five? I don't think

243
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: I've ever really told this story. So five actually comes from?

244
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: Uh it has. It has a lot to do with

245
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: my grandmother. So most if you ask any most people

246
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: and you ask me, hey, what time is from, most

247
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: people will probably say the seven Ward War, and they're

248
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: right right, because there's like the catch, you know, like

249
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: like my first couple of years on Earth, I lived

250
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: twenty nine thirty Orleans Avenue, which is the Fifth Ward.

251
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: Now the people that know me, they know that.

252
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: So that's kind of like where a five come from,

253
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: you know, because I'm like a seventh Ward dude. But

254
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: everybody know, like, man, he might really be from the

255
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: Fifth Wark. That's where's grandma. That's where his grandma lived.

256
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: That's where people say, okay.

257
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where the five thrown from. And that's actually

258
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: where my jersey number come from plus two, so you

259
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: know the plus too, and so uh yeah, man, that's like,

260
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: uh what is that like a history lesson?

261
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

262
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Man? Man?

263
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: And here and here I'm like, yeah, that boy really

264
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: from the seventh line and say, you know, right, defense dinner,

265
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: you take us out to the seventh ward. You know,

266
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: you take the whole defense to the seventh ward. I'm like, man,

267
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: he's just showing love to his people's from the fifth ward.

268
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: Right.

269
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: Man, I'm in the locker room. Like, I'm like, T.

270
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: You don't be answer to T. I'm like, five, turn

271
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: right around. That's crazy. I mean we we talked about

272
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: the locker room too. But he was like earlier this season, Bro,

273
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: you had one interception and he was like, man, I

274
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta turn, I gotta pick up my pants.

275
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,479
Speaker 1: But like, I ain't never not let the team interceptions.

276
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: Then you then you had that two piece and like

277
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: you like you're right on time now, Like where did

278
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: that come from? And what you see for the rest

279
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: of these last five games? Five?

280
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: To be honest, bro, Man, I just see uh and

281
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: not just me, Bro, but I see all us like, uh,

282
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: like just doing whatever it.

283
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: Take to win, Bro.

284
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: And I mean you know how it is on the

285
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: defense side of the ball, Like you know, the more

286
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: the more you can take the ball away, bro. And uh,

287
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: you know, especially like in you know, late November December,

288
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: you know, going into the playoffs, like you want to

289
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: you want to be able to you know, take the

290
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: ball away and kind of help that, you know, help

291
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: you build momentum, bro, and confidence. So I think defensively, bro,

292
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: Like that's like the model for I mean even you

293
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: like if somebody asked, Hey, do you want to just

294
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: sack the quarterback or do you want to sack and

295
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: take the ball from him? I want the whole I

296
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: want the hat trick, you know what I'm saying, Like

297
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: the fumble animal recovery.

298
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: You know I need it?

299
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bro?

300
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: So uh man, just I just see all of us

301
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: managers just just playing way more uh you know, aggressive,

302
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: you know, hungrier, you know, just trying to do whatever

303
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: it takes.

304
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: Bro.

305
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: Right, You're right. See See that's like when you have

306
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: that two interception game. They were like, oh, it's vintage

307
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Tyre Matthews. I was like vintage by eating what vintage?

308

Speaker 3: You know how I get, Bro? When you get over thirdy, Bro,

310
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: you know.

311
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Tell me about the leadership in the dB room because

312
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: you know me, you know what I'm saying, Like, w's loud,

313
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm overly loud and active in the team. And then

314
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: you bring up your leadership, you know, to to the

315
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: to the dbs, which I've always said DB's and every

316
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: every team ever just I swear they don't like each other.

317
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Like in my mind, like D line, You're always gonna

318
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: be like the closest knit, right d Lin. Any team

319
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I've ever been on, the D line hangs out together, right,

320
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: we hang out every Thursday, win, lose a draw. You

321
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: know if the even if the defense don't hang out,

322
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: the defensive line is gonna hang out.

323
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: Well, you know how it is on the back game, Bro,

324
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: always on an island.

325
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but too Bro, A lot of us we're supposed

326
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: to play like offense. We just we just weren't good enough.

327
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you you know, I don't

328
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: know if you got a look that d but you know,

329
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: and you know what I mean, we think it's all us.

330
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: You know, uh that that prime time syndrome, you know

331
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, uh, but nah, Bro, I think

332
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: I think we got a good dB room. You know,

333
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: we got some dudes that could that could really play.

334
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: You know, I think for me, Bro, uh, you know,

335
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: every day knowing like I got like a young dB room.

336
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: It's just being consistent, like showing those dudes with a

337
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: consistent pro look like you know, and meetings, you know,

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: obviously on the field. Just just trying to take care

339
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: of my business the right way, knowing that even if

340
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: those dudes are not necessarily asking me for advice, a

341
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: lot of them are watching me, right. So I mean

342
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: that's how some people learn too. They don't necessarily communicate

343
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: with you. They they can watch what you do and

344
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: watch how you act, and you know what I mean,

345
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: like it could kind of shape their perspective or you know,

346
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: like that direction. So I just try to be like

347
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: a like a sound person from bro, like a sound

348
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: on my mind.

349
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: Uh. I try. I try to tell them the truth,

350
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 3: you know what I mean all the time.

351
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: Keep shoot shooting buck at all times for sure. But Bro,

352
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: you do you do it as such like a calm demeanor. Bro,

353
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Like you so level in the room. Like I'd be like,

354
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, Bro, I don't know how to shake because

355
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: you know me, I'll be out there shaking the room up.

356
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I'm coming now. This is what we're doing,

357
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: this is how we're doing it, this is what we're

358
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: going to do. This is where we're going. Like, and

359
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: it's a response. You be like, man, that ain't right.

360
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: The boys just be like he's saying that you mean.

361
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: This, Yeah for sure, Bro?

362
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: And you know, like I said, I think a lot

363
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: of that got to do with like you know, each

364
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: and every day that they're gonna get the same time,

365
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

366
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: Like, so they could come on.

367
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: That consistency, which is crazy, bro, because like when you

368
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: came in to leave, Bro, you had vets, like you know,

369
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Pat p was your dog from L s U. You know,

370
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: over over at the Cardinals. But you know, I feel

371
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: like you could relate so much more to these guys

372
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: because you know, like, yeah, I was the first round

373
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: of you were you know you you were coming from

374
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: L s U. You were that guy. And then you

375
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: face some adversity over L s U. You know what

376
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, You had obstions to overcome. They try to

377
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: hit you with that like troubled the troubled youth syndrome

378
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: or something. So you fell a couple of rounds into

379
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: the draft, right, But Bro, your your story about you

380
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: being consistent, just like elevating your play every year. Like

381
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: I feel like some of these guys don't really know

382
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: what you've done and what you've accomplished. Bro. So like

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Bro, you got to tell him

384
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: like I like, I'm like, I tell him, used to

385
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: be so even consistent? Bro, It's crazy, man.

386
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: I just I mean, like I said, Bro, I don't

387
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: really you know, I don't try to be nothing special,

388
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: you know, and you know I definitely don't try to

389
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: uh force anything, you know, body, you know what I mean? So,

390
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: uh man, some dudes come around earlier, right like you know,

391
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: you may you know, we may sign a dude with tomorrow,

392
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: right and he may gravitate towards me and ask me like,

393
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: you know, man, how you did it?

394
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: Right? Like like how you how you stuck around so long?

395
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: And and then you know, other guys, it may take

396
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: them a while, you know what I mean, to come

397
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: around and.

398
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: You know, ask like those real questions I speak.

399
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: About guys like we just signed a cat, like was

400
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: that we could go sharm two weeks ago? Just like

401
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: I always I've always talked about it on this podcast

402
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: or whatever, like it just brings me back to you

403
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: of course, like that business side of football, even like

404
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: even though you play for the home team now, Like

405
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I remember, we copped you, you know, we copt you

406
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: off free agency? What does that free agency feel like?

407
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what does what does

408
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: that feel like in terms of being at a team,

409
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: And like when you came to us from from Kansas City, Like, Bro,

410
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: you they didn't even offer you, Like did that add

411
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: a chip on your shoulder? Like how did it make

412
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: you feel? How are you like, you know, how did

413
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: that change your mindset? And if it did at all?

414
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Man? To be honest, Bro, I think for some dudes,

415
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: freategency is right, Like I mean, it's probably like one

416
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: of the best moments of their life.

417
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: You know.

418
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 2: Uh, you know a lot of them going to you know,

419
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: sign you know pretty good you know contracts, you know

420
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: what I mean.

421
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: And I think for other players it's different.

422
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: You know, for me for example, right, and I mean

423
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: we was kind of talking about it earlier right in

424
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: the show, I've always felt, uh a responsibility to like

425
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: the communities I played in, and so you know, most

426
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: players don't do it right, Like most guys aren't invested

427
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: outside of the defensive meeting.

428
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, going home and like like

429
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: nothing else exists. You know, all these all these schools

430
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: out here, all these people that you could like touch effect,

431
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: be around, learn your community, do all this like anyways around.

432
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: But you know, uh, not for me, like it was

433
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: tough because like I didn't know I was going to

434
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: the Saints. I didn't know, like I didn't know the

435
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: situation that was like waiting for me.

436
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: Right. So you know when you when you like have.

437
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: Those type of you know, uh moments like where man,

438
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: you're like, damn, You're like, bro, I just sacrificed three

439
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 2: yearss like I gave everything I could, you know, to

440
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: whatever organization, right and so and then it's time for

441
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: you to move on, right. And for some players it's

442
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: easy to move on, you know what I mean, Like

443
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: they don't really care.

444
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: And I think for other players, which is a.

445
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 2: Small percentage, like like they wear that, you know what

446
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean. And so, uh, but the blessing in my

447
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: situation was, you know, even though it took me a while,

448
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: you know, to kind of get over you know what

449
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Damn, I ain't about to be a chief

450
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: no more. And you know I got kids that you know,

451
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 2: like love the chiefs and you know, and you know,

452
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: I got a family, like you know what I mean,

453
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 2: like like this this is our home, right and you.

454
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 3: Know, now you got to pick up and move.

455
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: So it's a lot of those type of you know,

456
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: conversations and you know issues you gotta kind of iron out.

457
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: But but the blessing for me was, man like, you know,

458
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: like I got a chance to come back home.

459
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 3: You know, I got a chance to come back to

460
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 3: the crib.

461
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: So you know, as bad as it kind of stun

462
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,359

Speaker 2: moment because it's like damn right, like all of because

538
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: because a lot of times, Bro, like early on in

00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: my career.

540
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: Right, like when I was quote unquote.

541
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: A different person, you know, was always the same person, right,

542
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: I was just a eighteen nineteen year old who you

543
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: know got in trouble, yeah.

544
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,480

546
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: one incident doesn't make you trouble, right.

547
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: But you know, early on in the league, bro, like you,

548
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: especially me, I missed out on what I feel like

549
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: it is a lot of fun because I was so

550
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: focused on the game right, like I wanted to have

551
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: a successful career. So man, I ain't start going on

552
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: vacations to like my fourth year in the league, you.

553
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying, Like in all season none none,

554
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: bro like.

555
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: And but but that was like the level of sacrifice

556
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: like that I that I had, right and so.

557
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: But you don't feel that when you're doing it right.

558
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 2: You're like, damn, all my teammates going up there in

559
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: the Bahamans date they this way like they having.

560
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: A ball, and here you is just so focused on

561
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: not messing it up.

562
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: And so you know, it was some moments early on

563
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: in my career where I'm like, damn, bro, like, it

564
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: don't even feel like I'm in the league because you know,

565
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm so serious right, like, like I'm just trying to

566
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: do the right thing. So so it's good to look

567
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: back on that, bro and be like, damn, you made

568
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: the right decision, like you was doing.

569
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: The right things like, right, like all that paid off?

570
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: So what was what was that transition though? Like, was

571
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: that was that you adding on like meditating? Was that

572
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: you like, you know, guys, guys in locker room, we

573
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: have doctor doctor Chambliss or whatever, you know, a therapy

574
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: coach and like, and I always say that because I

575
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: know there's a stigma around athletes or even black men

576
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: in general, you know, not wanting to go to therapy.

577
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: And I'm like, bro, like go talk it out. I

578
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: try to tell you know, my young books. Now, I'm like, hey, man,

579
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: talk to somebody sooner rather than later. Like I didn't

580
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: even think about talking to a therapist or having therapy

581
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: sessions or even somebody who can bounce ideas off until

582
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: I was like eight years in. Hey you you try

583
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,840

00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: But but but my transition, bro, was it was serious bro,

617
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: because obviously you you do the therapy, you know part

618
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: of it. But you know I had started really getting

619
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: into like yoga, you know what I'm saying, and like

620
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: meditation right, and you know a lot of people that

621
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: I work with now.

622
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: Is on them.

623
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: I credit them too, man, because I had like a

624
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: good kind of supports, Like I said.

625
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: B I had Larry and Less and Pat. So it's

626
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: like I had I had all their resources.

627
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: I love it, bro, Like like I said, I just

628
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: like I like to talk about just you know that

629
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: mental health and well wellness too, because in this game, bro,

630
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: we give so much to it. Like you give and

631
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: give and give and give and realize you depleted without

632
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: knowing that you depleted. Like why am I edgy? Why

633
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: am I irritable? Why am I? You know, my body hurts,

634
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: my mind hurts, and everything, Like you know, my family

635
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: still wants to to and lay down. You're like, bro,

636
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: don't touch me. Why you know what I'm saying, like

637
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: or you know, all all I do is is deal

638
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: with football and then I'm out in public, I'm dealing

639
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: with fans. So you know, you don't even really know

640
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: your real self. So sometimes it's cool to just decompress

641
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: and figure out who you are, and sometimes you need

642
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: other people to help you with that, you know, again

643
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: just to bounce ideas off. So I just I just

644
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: love trying to break that stigma of like we don't

645
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: need to talk to people, you know what I'm saying, Like,

646
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: as human beings, we're social people.

647
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: And that's supposed to community.

648
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: We're supposed to communicate.

649
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: Right.

650
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: My wife is definitely gonna use that against me in

651
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: this episode. She was like, so we're supposed to communicate,

652
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: just not I'm like, I do just what you want

653
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: all my interfeelings come on, relax, take it easy, right,

654
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: but uh all right, let's let's get off that heavy

655
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: and get into something light. You know, coming from coming

656
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: from New Orleans. I want to know what your uh

657
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: what your favorite restaurant is out here?

658
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: My favorite restaurant, bro?

659
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think it's a restaurant.

660
00:30:59,240 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: Bro.

661
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: What you mean?

662
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: I mean, like, because you know, someplace to sell food.

663
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: But it's like should they be selling food?

664
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: Should they be selling food?

665
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: But the food decent though, you know, Like so it's

666
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: like you know, but nah, bro, So they got a

667
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: store called the Red Rooster, And like I said, I

668
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: don't think it's.

669
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: A like the like the hot sauce.

670
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but so, but the catch is it's like Ronald

671
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: Corning from the Magnoian, so.

672
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: You know. But they got the best hot sized sandwich

673
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: in the world.

674
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: Brome, come anywhere to New Orleans and everybody pushing hot

675
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: sausage didn't hit right from me. It didn't hit right

676
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: for me for a long time. They're like they're like lead.

677
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: Bro, I love them. I love hot saage.

678
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: I think I love them too, Bro, because I don't

679
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: eat them as much now since I've been back home, right,

680
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 2: because you can get them whatever.

681
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: Right. But it's like, Bro, when I was living in

682
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: that I was on in Kansas City. We had I

683
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,200

684
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: I say, Hey, you know of from Arizona. So that's

685
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: what I said. That hot sausage was not on the platelet.

686
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: You can get torreso anyway. Bro, I'm gonna get you

687
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,120

688
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: but I'm always going over. That's my fault, all right. Hey,

00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: cheat sheet of you. Boy, You're like, no, I knew

00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: I could to learn like things I didn't know about,

697
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,320

00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm like divine, divine, the tyrant, divine, Matthew, huh, the coldest.

Speaker 1: Let's just talk about you know, what gets you hyped

703
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: before gay games will get you hype during games, the

704
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: music you lead up to. I wake up and I

705
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, I may start off with some some classical Mozart,

706
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: some Symphony number nine.

707
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: You know.

708
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: I sometimes I wake up I'm way too amped up,

709
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: and then I have to calm myself back down. You know,

710
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I may put on little IY brothers. I may, you know.

711
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: I sometimes I wake up and I'm a little sleepy.

712
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: I wake up, I'm like dad, do something, and I

713
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: throw all some E forty or I throw some depth

714
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: of Dude, or I put on the Kendrick Lamar, you know,

715
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: or or I slap some some what you mean, huh?

716
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I gotta throw some juvenile on or

717
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: some little way.

718
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: You know.

719
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: It just depends on the day, and as a day progresses,

720
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: as you get close to the game, you just keep

721
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: on slowly amping up that energy. But either way, you

722
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: listen to a lot of I listened to a lot

723
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: of music before the game, you know, leading up to it,

724
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: and I may not listen to any music, you know,

725
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes or so while I'm in the locker

726
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: room because I'm getting my thoughts sorted out, I'm looking

727
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: over notes for real quick. I got my headphones on,

728
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: but nothing's probably playing, so I'm looking like like I'm

729
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: looking like I can't be bothered because I'd rather not

730
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: be bothered. I'm focusing in. I'm I'm getting locked into

731
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: the game. But that being said, right before the game,

732
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm always throwing on some like diabolical madness, you know,

733
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: some some method man, some eminem you know, I'll throw

734
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: it in some events sevenfold. You know, it'll be some.

735
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: It'll be some like hardcore Metallica, like just some some

736
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: some some stuff you know what I'm saying before you

737
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: go to battle, but that just brings me to it.

738
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like everybody has different music platforms.

739
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: I was trying to support, you know, Tied. I'm sure

740
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: there's Apple out there, Spotify, so many, so many different

741
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: music music platforms to get your music from. And I'm

742
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: just sort of looking at it. What are you know,

743
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: my top five artists that I think I listened to,

744
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna say this season. I'm not even

745
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: gonna go the year because then, like I'm not even

746
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: trying to put that that that spectrum out there, but

747
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: I'd probably say it's it's Rod Wave, It's j balv,

748
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: method Man, litl Wave's coming bike, you know, uh, and

749
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: then the states to throw up right, it's it's probably

750
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: between Young Dolph for future. Maybe the edge goes to

751
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar. I don't know, but like, you know, somewhere

752
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: in there. So I'm gonna say Jay Balvean method Man,

753
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Young Dolph, Rod Wave in future. I'd be interested, you know,

754
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: to figure out what am I missing with my my

755
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: top five top five you know artists. Maybe I'm missing

756
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: something else. I feel like I listened to a lot

757
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: of artists. That being said, I appreciate y'all for everything

Speaker 1: Saints nations fans, because you know, when it's black and gold,

761
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: what other colors could be that you know? But I

762
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: can go just as a phenomenal color way. The Saints

763
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: are a phenomenal team. I think we still have phenomenal

764
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,600
