00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: stop lying to y'all. Boy. I'm all over the place

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: right now. It is a pure mess. My body clock

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: is like Hawaii, Los Angeles and this I can't remember

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: the last time other than going to Hawaii where I

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: got to lose time right three hours behind la Ah

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: man four o'clock in the morning, waking up every day

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: on vacation. Who does that? Well we did that, man,

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: but it was still an amazing vacation, just like we're

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: gonna have an amazing show because that's what we do

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: around here. But first we start off with what's up

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: with that dude? Well, if you have a four K

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: or what they have eight KTVs and cameras out there now,

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: you can see that I am burnt. I mean literally burnt,

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: so that whole lie and misnomer that hey, black people,

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: you know they don't need sunscreen and sunscreen lotion because

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: they don't get burnt. Shoot, I am peeling and chilling everywhere.

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: All of my layers are look like a reptile right now,

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: if you can see that. So I am literally burnt.

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: And I get it now because I could feel it

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: like little Tingle was getting the shower, like what the

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: hell is that? But the Hawaiian sun was hitting that

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: pool water extra crispy. We had a flight for the ages.

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I am a former football player, dub,

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not talking about just what I physically did,

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: what I mentally did. And I live in this weird

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: place when I'm around other parents because these parents like

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: the form these pity committees right where when you're walking

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: on the airplane and they're like all prayers up for

36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: you with your little kids five hours And I'm like, yeah,

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: I kind of created them, and I know they're gonna

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: be a little while, maybe boys, Thris, but I'll be okay,

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: right And these little pity committees, man, they just sit

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: there and say, oh, are you guys gonna be okay?

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: And I was just sitting there shaking my head like dog.

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Y'all know, I used to have three a day football practices,

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: like literally a six in the morning practice, a one

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: pm practice, and a six pm practice for a month.

45
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: We did that in college, and I was like dog.

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: When I hear people say stuff, and I hate to

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: say they're complaining, but they are when they're just like

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: in fear of what's coming, I'm like dog, Ain't nothing

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna be worse than what I went through. Y'all ever

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: had a Bill Parcells training camp practice in Dallas one

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen degrees one hundred and thirty four heat

52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: in decks and it was a double day and you

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: were sorry and he was mad at you because you

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: were overpaid. Y'all ever go through that idead? So guess what.

55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I can handle a five hour flight with my damn

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: kids enough for that. But I did speak too soon, y'all. No, Lie,

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: I was in front of a family from hell, and

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: I feel for them because they wasn't their fault. They

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: had maybe a two year old and a three year old.

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how the Irish twins they call the

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they were just way too close to each other,

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: and they were screaming the entire flight so much that

63
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: my kids kept turning around and kept telling me, Dad,

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: they're too loud, Dad, they're kicking my seat, which kept

65
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: my kids in line because my kids like, we ain't

66
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: acting like that. That is the worst. And I was laughing.

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: So then after that flight, I should have joined that

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: parent pity committee, because boy, that was hell to pay.

69
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: The kids that still sleep at least one of them

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: is they went to bed at one in the morning.

71
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Do not call child Protection Services on me. I'm trying

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: my best. All right, y'all, it's time to dive into

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: this show right now. Well, my man Lorie Marketing, y'all

74
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: know who he is. Utah Jazz is all star forward.

75
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Laurie Marketing plans to partake listen to this in mandatory

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: military service in Finland during the off season. Y'all heard me, ah,

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: he said, following the military requirement that they have. His

78
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: intention is to complete it. It's mandatory quote, we have

79
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: to do it, but at the same time we take

80
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: pride in it too. Caught that part. I think it's

81
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: that's an example to serve and I'm confident I could

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: do it in a way that's not going to affect

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: my preparation for next season either. Now, every male citizen

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: of Finland is required to complete military service by the

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: age of thirty, marketing trying to get it in quick,

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: trying to get some extra credit, I guess because he's

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: only twenty five. WHOA, Now this is interesting right here

88
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: because I can hear y'all right now singing your Bruce Springsteen. Yall,

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: y'all gotta love USA. That is not a mandatory requirement

90
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: in America, So to me, that is our great fortune.

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: But I respect what he's said. Not only is he

92
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna do it, but he's gonna do it with pride.

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: But if you want to ask me, I'm hitting you

94
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: with the Rick Ross. I'm hitting you with the little Wayne, No, sir,

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: not me, y'all forget that. My name Marcellus is the

96
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: middle name of Cassius Marcellus Clay. Yeah, Muhammad Ali. I

97
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: hate to say it, y'all, but then there's nothing more

98
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: terrifying than me outside of prison, not jail, like I've

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: been to jail before, Like you know the Holden Tank

100
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: who had been to jail before, who ain't got a

101
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: partner to ticket, Like oh, I thought of hate it.

102
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about prison. Like

103
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: they're like, dog, stop looking at your watch, stop looking

104
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: at the calendar, and you're gonna be here for a minute.

105
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Prison is terrifying, but nothing's worse than just the thought

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: of war. Now, let me back up a step. This

107
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: is Finland we're talking about, and I had to look

108
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: it up and guess what I saw. Not a single

109
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: enemy in the world. Not one nuke is pointed at

110
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: finn The people offending even were saying, the worst thing

111
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: about being here is our six month long winter and

112
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: then our one month long summer, and that's it. No

113
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: enemies in sight. But it's interesting because they have the

114
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: sports complex out there that's merge with the military, that

115
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: allows people to actually serve actively while still pursuing their profession.

116
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Kind of smart right here. So marketing will report to

117
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: the Defense Forces sports school. Now you got me enlisted.

118
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Like if they say you're going to the army and

119
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: it drill starts, you're looking at me like Wiley, get

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: up and dog, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. Do

121
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: what you gotta do to me. I don't care how

122
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: many push ups I do. Two million push ups. I

123
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: ain't going out there with them bullets alive. But if

124
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I have to go to the Defense Forces Sports school,

125
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: you got somebody right here now. Marketing even said, of course,

126
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: I'd rather be working out like I normally do in

127
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: the offseason. But I heard they do a good job

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: of combining the two. You're able to do your job

129
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: working as an athlete and your basic training. You know me,

130
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm asking y'all, what would y'all do? Like seriously, not feeling,

131
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: because in feeling, they don't have any enemy. So yeah,

132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: sign me up. I go all day. I ain't got

133
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: nobody to fight but in America. And you know right now, whoa?

134
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: This world is tripping on America. They're trying to get

135
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: rid of the US dollar everywhere the currency exchange. WHOA,

136
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have some nukes pointing back at us.

137
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: What would you do? Obviously, it's a it's an honor

138
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: to serve your country, but I think it's a greater

139
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: honor with others serve for you. Right, That's all I

140
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: think about it. I hate to be so selfish, y'all,

141
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: but boy, I am shook when you start talking about

142
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: them live bullets y'all, man, I don't have to travel

143
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: far for this story, because this is the La La

144
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Holiday revisited. Yes, we're gonna go a little deeper into

145
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: the La Lakers beat down. Yep, y'all gouts masked again

146
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: by the Los Angeles Clippers, because I saw a topic

147
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: in there that I think is into sin to the fans.

148
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Because fans always come up to me and they say,

149
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: take us through the mundane, take us through the routine,

150
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: take us through the experience that we weren't able to

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: ever be a part of. And as an athlete, you

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: always kind of just go past those right, You run

153
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: past those stop signs because you had to travel that

154
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: road thousands and thousands of times. But what about the

155
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: people who never had to travel that road? Not one

156
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: time on a professional level, were you able to walk

157
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: out of a locker room and let me get y'all

158
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: this setting, because it always gives me chills. You walk

159
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: out of the locker room and you're fifty three strong, right,

160
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: you and fifty two others were walking out, and you

161
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: walk out, and those cleats are on that concrete because

162
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: you're walking from the tunnel to the turf, right, and

163
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: you can hear the clicks and they're not in unison,

164
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: but it just sounds like marching drums. All these dudes

165
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: three hundred pounders click click click click click click click,

166
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it starts to go quiet

167
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: because one those cliques are now on that turf. It's

168
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: time to go to war. But more importantly, you just

169
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: went from the tunnel in the darkness to the light.

170
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: And when you get to the light, silence why because

171
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: you are now so uber focused on that moment and

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: this is not the time for the crowd to erupt yet.

173
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: But once they start to announce that the team is

174
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: out there, whatever team it is, and they see you,

175
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: you imagine those contrasts dark to light, noise to quiet,

176
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: and then eruption of eighty thousand people. For you, that's

177
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: what the athlete experiences. Like just one mundane slice. Let

178
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: me take it through another one. What happens when you're

179
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: the star of your game plan, like everything is running

180
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: through you, or when you're the scrub of their game plan,

181
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: they're like, yo, attack that dude, let him shoot. Well.

182
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis brought it up. Let's talk through it. He said, quote.

183
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: Our game plan was for hustle Westbrook to shoot the ball,

184
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: and he made them. He made the shots. Well, you

185
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: remember Russ finished with fourteen points. Clippers beat the Lakers

186
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: by seven, and Russ shot fifty percent from the field.

187
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Good game for Russ. Right, So the first question is

188
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: everyone I would say, damn, that's disrespectful. Oh no, it's not. Man.

189
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: You're talking about attacking the weakness that is every single

190
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: team's game plan throughout the work week and especially on

191
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: game day. So let's talk about a game plan, which

192
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: always starts with a play plan. A lot of people

193
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: don't talk about the play plan, they just talk about

194
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: the game, right, forty eight minutes, that's what we wanted

195
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: to do. But you have to do that every single

196
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: time to actually stick to the plan. So I always

197
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: wanted people to understand that when you have a plan,

198
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: the first thing you gotta do is identify the target. Right.

199
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: So if you got a plan to go out there

200
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: and win the game, got identify how you're gonna win

201
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the game, right, And basketball is make shots, and basketball's

202
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: defense shots, etc. So identify the target first and foremost.

203
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: But after that you gotta quickly and I mean like

204
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: one A, one B. You gotta work on the disguise

205
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: of trying to hit that target and the counter the

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: counter punch too. If they defend what you're trying to target,

207
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: you catch all this. Let me give it to you simply.

208
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: If you're a running back and you actually know that

209
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: you're fast and you want to hit the edges, the

210
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: first thing you have to do is tell yourself, I'm

211
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: best on the sideline. But remember the sideline is an

212
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: extra defender for the defense. There are never eleven defenders

213
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: on the football field. There's always thirteen because the sideline

214
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: over here, the sideline over here, right, So if you're

215
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: running back trying to go over there, be careful because

216
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: you just added the defender over there. Correct. So now

217
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: you can't just run straight there because we use geometry

218
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: cut you off and make the play. So you always

219
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: work on the disguise. So what do you have to

220
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: do If you're a fast runner, you've heard it before.

221
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: You gotta actually attack between the tackles. You actually gotta

222
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: go at them and use physical force or at least

223
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the deception of that to make me stop my feet,

224
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: and then you use your speed. Then you attack. But

225
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: if you don't identify the target, sideline and then disguise

226
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: it by going straight at me. Oh, I'm just gonna

227
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: go make those plays happens in basketball as well, Right,

228
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: you talk about an Anthony Davis, He's like, look, our

229
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: target is Russell Westbrook. He's the scrub on their team.

230
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: Hate to say it, but that's how they were thinking.

231
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: They're like, let that dude shoot. And guess what they

232
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: didn't have the counter to letting them shoot, Because every

233
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: time you're shooting basketball, if you think he's a scrub,

234
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: what's your thought? He gonna miss the next one? Right,

235
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: So Russell goes out there one for one, let him shoot,

236
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: doll hes gonna miss the next one, two for two,

237
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: let him shoot, three for three, let him shoot, I'm

238
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: getting a little nervous, three for four. There we go,

239
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: game plan kicking in, right. You gotta be able to adapt.

240
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to know what the disguise is

241
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: and also what the counter is. What was the counter

242
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: to Russell Westbrook? Nothing, Just let him shoot and let's

243
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: just live or die by his shooting efforts. Well, you

244
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: die that night. But chances are if you go on

245
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: every game you play against the Clippers with that same

246
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: game plan, you at least have the belief if you're

247
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: a laker, that you will win more of those games

248
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: than not. It's just funny to chess match because this

249
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: is what people don't understand about sports. Once you get

250
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: to the pro level in general, we all qualify, you know,

251
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: like in class, we're all ninety percent tile, right, So

252
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: imagine you go to your class, you go to your school,

253
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm the smartest in my class, and

254
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: then somebody in next doors it's smartest in their class. Well,

255
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: the pro level is we start picking all of them

256
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: kids out of the classes and put them all in

257
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: one class. Now, what you're gonna do. We all qualified.

258
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: We were all ninety percentile by ourselves on our islands.

259
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Now we're together. So what gets you above the fray

260
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: above the rest is not gonna be physical talent anymore.

261
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be bigger, faster, stronger, because we all qualify.

262
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: We're all black belts. What gets you there is now

263
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: your mental IQ and your emotional IQ. Who can actually

264
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: win that chess match and then who can rely on

265
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:42,239
Speaker 1: that in terms of emotions, always being disciplined, always being motivated,

266
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and always being in that moment, Those are the great ones? Really,

267
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis just popped in my head for some reason.

268
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: Peyton managers popped in my hair for some reason. These

269
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: guys that are always invested, and let's just be real,

270
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: they just were steady Eddie, always a part of that

271
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: game plan, the stars of their ain't planning, who used

272
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: to look at the opposing team and always identify an

273
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: attempt to manipulate the scrub of their game plan. So

274
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: just wanted to take you guys a little behind the curtain.

275
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: We'll do that time and time again. Whenever you guys

276
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: have a topic out there fan mail, etc. Were gonna

277
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: discuss it, because that's what we're here for. About to

278
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: travel somewhere that even though I'm a little tired, a

279
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: little off, I was gladly go right now Miami. Goodness,

280
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: not only will I gain three hours, but I would

281
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: gain a lot more in life just seeing how beautiful

282
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: it is down there. I just went back. I had

283
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: a flashback. Let me talk. Okay, let's talk about Miami

284
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: and their Dolphins. All Pro receiver Tyreek Hill, who says

285
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: he's planning to retire at the end of his current

286
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: contract home with the Miami Dolphins. Then it's on to

287
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: something else. Anytime I read that headline, I shake my head.

288
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: It always takes me back to Too Short. Remember when

289
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: I think Too Short was the first rapper? Is that

290
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: this is album number ten. I'm done, I'm retired. That's it.

291
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: He has on his thirty seventh album right now. Like

292
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: I think he was just doing it to have leverage

293
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and contract negotiations get out of a bad deal. I

294
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: don't know, but I never ever believe somebody when they

295
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: say they were retiring shifting gears. Yeah, doing something else,

296
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: but coming back to it, yeah, but full out retirement. Boys. Stop.

297
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's listen to him. In his own words,

298
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: he says, quote, I'm going for ten seasons. Man. He'll

299
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: be thirty one years old when his contract runs out,

300
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: thirty one, y'all, and he gonna retire after the twenty

301
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty five season. That's what he says. He's I'm going

302
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: to finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then

303
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it quits. I want to go into

304
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: the business side. You're already in the business sides called football.

305
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I want to do so many things in my life, bro.

306
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: All right, so far doesn't sound like much of a plan,

307
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: but we're gonna figure this out. They got enough money

308
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: to figure it out. He has enough money to fail

309
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: forward as they said. He was traded to the Dolphins.

310
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: We know March twenty twenty two. He got four years,

311
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million. Told you got a lot

312
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: of money, and he's in Miami, Florida, no state tax.

313
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Let's go, he said. Quote. So I really want to

314
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: get into it, Like the gaming space, I really want

315
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: to get huge in that. And that's kind of what

316
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing right now. I'm using my platform creating a

317
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: gaming team which isn't launched yet, issue launched by the

318
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: end of this month. I'm going to just sign like

319
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: different content creators, different athletes, just been working that, talking

320
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: to different sponsors. Now, that is a lucrative space I want.

321
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: He ain't lying that esports, all of that is next level.

322
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: I hosted guests their summit one time at what we

323
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: call now he used to be the stadium Crypto dot com.

324
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: That's what they call it. That that's a sorry name,

325
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: crypto dot com. Lets you want to sponsor me? Crypto

326
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: dot com where the Lakers and clip was playing and

327
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: I sponsored it and when I went there to host it.

328
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, we did it. We did

329
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: it on Sports Nation. A couple of the e gamers

330
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: came by, big, big fan basis huge. I knew it.

331
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: I knew it was a different world than I was

332
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: used to, but I didn't know what I was walking into.

333
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: When I walked into that arena, I was like, damn, yeah,

334
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: I Staples Center at the time. Good lord, m And

335
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: I was like, why is it packed? Like like there

336
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: are more people here than that the Clippers game and

337
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: certainly a Lakers game. I was like, damn, it's pack.

338
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: And those e gamers e sports cats were all sitting

339
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: there just watching the screens of everybody else playing the game,

340
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: watching the teams go at it crazy, right, And they

341
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: don't have joysticks like I'm used to, like Atari and

342
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: all that. They don't even have like them second controllers

343
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: and stuff. They were on actual like key pads. They

344
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: were actually on keyboards. I was like, y'all playing games

345
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: with a mouse? Hey, others going on here. Whole different animal,

346
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: whole different world. So understand where he's coming from, but

347
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about it for real. One, do y'all even

348
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: believe him? Like he's gonna all of a sudden aboard

349
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: playing football at the age of thirty one on a

350
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars deal that's behind him

351
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: when the money is going to continue to go up.

352
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: So then what's that deal going to look like? If

353
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: he continues to play like he's playing, you almost can

354
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: say double it. If he doesn't, what if he even

355
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: takes a step back, he can still command that same

356
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: one twenty in the next deal, which ya, I'm sure

357
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: will help buy more keyboards, the mousepads, or whatever the

358
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: hell they need in the e gaming community. But it's funny.

359
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: Athletes always play around with this, and entertainers always play

360
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: around with it as well. It's like you work your

361
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: entire life to live out your dream, and then you

362
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: live out your dream, and then one point of that

363
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: journey you take this big exhale, and in that exhale,

364
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: you start to look around, like what else is out here?

365
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Because one your identity, whether is you or the world

366
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: at large, has wrapped it around whatever you're doing. Right,

367
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: you could be an actor and all they think you

368
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: could do is act and be in those movies and

369
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: be on those TV shows. If you're a football player,

370
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: That's all you can do is play football, and whenever

371
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: you have other interests or curiosities, they smack you on

372
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: the head. Oh no, no, no, stick the ball, you know,

373
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: stick to football, right, whatever it is. And I understand

374
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: that curiosity. But one thing I have learned in my

375
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: forty eight years on this planet is that you are

376
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: genius at playing sports, football in particular. I was genius

377
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: in that as well. However, do not mistake your genius

378
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: as spreading across all different genres just because you were

379
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: great at one. Remember that. Now that's the ego. The

380
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: ego would tell you, oh man, you killed this, Just

381
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: go over there and kill that. You can kill that,

382
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: But just don't forget. As great as you are in

383
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: football is as great as someone else who went to

384
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: undergrad and grad school and got their PhD in the

385
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: exact same thing you're about to walk into. Now, you

386
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: have money, you have a name and notoriety, so obviously

387
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna grab a greater community of assets and resources

388
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: to do it. But still, do not confuse the two

389
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: you are walking into their world, just like if they

390
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: were to walk on the football field, and you will say,

391
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: we got a lot of work to do right, and

392
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the toughest thing. Most businesses fail, period.

393
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: Most athlete businesses fail as well, probably even more so

394
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: because a lot of times they don't grab the proper resources,

395
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: they don't grab the proper connections. They just say I

396
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: am me and I'm gonna start something. We don't hear

397
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: a ton about that. But let me give you some examples.

398
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: I had a teammate, since I protect the guilty, can't

399
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: say his name, he opened up a car wash. Okay,

400
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: can say, all right, what is he a drug dealers

401
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: trying to wash his money? No? Now? Or wasn't that?

402
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: He just wanted to open up a car wash. Childhood dream.

403
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: You know, he used to go with his father always

404
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: to the car washed. So he was like, one thing

405
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do to kind of just scratch that itch

406
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: is opened up a car wash. The business failed. You

407
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: want to know why, how do I say this? He

408
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: opened up a car washing buffalo. Let's just say you

409
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: don't have that media opportunities in the year to even

410
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: be open that alone. When you're open, does everybody want

411
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: the car wash those two months? Three months? So let's

412
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: just say that was one example of like maybe you

413
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: should have just kept your money. I don't believe Tyreek

414
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: Hill will retire and then say that sit and play games.

415
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna continue to play and elevate that platform,

416
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: even more so as a gamer and as an all

417
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: pro receiver. Let's get real. Let's talk about being Gordon man,

418
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: Ben Gordon. Let me just read it first. Let me

419
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: just get the facts out there before we even get

420
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: into this a little deeper. Former NBA star Ben Gordon's

421
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: arrested for the third time since October on weapons and

422
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: threatening charges at Connecticut jewice shop. I mean, could you

423
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: get anything more contrasting than weapons at a juice shop?

424
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: But let's talk through it. Former NBA guard Being Gordon

425
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: was arrested on those charges, and this is his third

426
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: arrest since October. Started just before ten am. Damn you

427
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: mad that early Tuesday when several nine one one callers

428
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: reported a mail acting aggressively and in the bizarre matter,

429
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: SI did juice shop in Stanford. I've been there, cities.

430
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: A sailing police chief said, okay, man, identify this Gordon boy.

431
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: I just hate when they have to write stuff like

432
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: this when they know who it is. Continue to act

433
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: erratically when officers arrived and try to take them into custody.

434
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Officers eventually subdued Gordon and placed them under arrest. There's

435
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: a video on TMZ, so we'll show the video, right, yes,

436
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Courtney showing it took not one, not two, but five

437
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: cops to wrestle him to the ground. WHOA. These body

438
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: cams are saving lives out here, because oh man, that

439
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: could have went ugly. They found a folding knife. I

440
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: don't even know what a folding is it made of

441
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: something not metal? Is it paper? Folding knife clip to

442
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: Gordon's pocket? And a stunt gun, damn, and brass knuckles

443
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: in his backpack. Is he playing Fortnite with theres some

444
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: weird weapons to have? We have a sling shot too.

445
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: Gordon was arresting on charges including carrying a dangerous weapon.

446
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: That's a charge, second degree threatening, and interfering with the officer. Yep,

447
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about the other two incidents, right charge with

448
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: punching his son, Oh, come on, at New York's LaGuardia Airport,

449
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: all right, we remember that one. And in November he

450
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: was charged with a misdemeanor battery calls him bodily harm

451
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: and making physical contact in Chicago for allegedly punching a

452
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: McDonald's security guard. Whoa man got a lot going on

453
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: and his son looks pretty I'm not gonna guess the age,

454
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: all right, So him in a juice shop, him and McDonald's.

455
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: He about to throw some hands or some crazy, weird weapons.

456
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: And then the one with his son. Obviously, what is

457
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: going on here? Everything has a price, Everything has a cost, right,

458
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that gets lost in the

459
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: conversation when you talk about athletes, especially when they retire,

460
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: is what price did they pay? A lot of times

461
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: in football they want to talk about CTE and I've

462
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: had some of those discussions and I will continue to

463
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: have those discussions. But what are the costs and the

464
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: prices you pay when you play professional athletics? Let me

465
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: talk from my experience, and since I have a lot

466
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: of conversations with athletes, I'm gonna say it's a general experience.

467
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: It sets you up to think, to think because you're

468
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: not above the law. It sets you up to think

469
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: that you're living in a different world, and you really are.

470
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: Your existence is a lot different. You're twenty one years

471
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: old and you move into a neighborhood where all of

472
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: your neighbors and their age average age is fifty sixty

473
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: years old typically, right, Why because when you get money,

474
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: you gotta move where the money is. And the average

475
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: age of an American millionaire is fifty seven years old.

476
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: So now you're twenty one and you're living next to

477
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: a fifty seven year old. I'm not even fifty seven,

478
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: but I'm closer to that than twenty one. And let

479
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: me tell you, I am now converting into that old

480
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: man in my ways. Turn your music down. Hey, we'll

481
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: tell y'all gonna go to bed. Okay, she's cute, but

482
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: y'all need to be quiet, like I have converted into

483
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: old man ways. Right, I'm at a red lightning. If

484
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: I hear somebody bumping, I'm literally like dog, really, like

485
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: you can't hear you got a AirPods And I used

486
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: to be that youngster rattling the whole entire city. Right,

487
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: And then, so what do you pay in price? What

488
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: are you paying costs? Well, sometimes you just think you're

489
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: in a different world, so you are above the law

490
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: in the world you're existing in, right, And you're prone

491
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: and you're prone to so many emotional disturbances because in athletics,

492
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: you're able to take it out. I see that with

493
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: my seven year old when he doesn't go out the house,

494
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: he's just having a lazy day of pajama day as

495
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: we call it. When they just boxed in and bottled in. Oh,

496
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: they are hard, hard as hell to maintain and just

497
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: to be around. They just gotta let that energy out, right,

498
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: I swear pro athletes we're the same way, man, And

499
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: we got to play a child's game even longer like

500
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: when we're adults in your dirties. So where does all

501
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: that energy go? It's just my first question, y'all. Seeing

502
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: the athletes when they retire, a few, if not a lot,

503
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: of them get fat, right, look at me talking like them,

504
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: they get bigger. Right when you're not working out the

505
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: same calories in calories out, well, guess what not burning

506
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: off as many calories. But two, where can you direct

507
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: that energy? You say, just keep playing the sports you

508
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: were playing. Well, it's kind of hard to find pick

509
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: up football games, right, we'll play flag. Well, it's kind

510
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: of hard with my hip that I had a limp

511
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: through my tenth year with or my foot that's been

512
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: sore since my third year, you know, So no matter

513
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do, you're not gonna be able to

514
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: hit the gas the same way. So therefore you're not

515
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: gonna get the same out of it. You can go

516
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: do top bole, you can do whatever you want to do.

517
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing like those cleats and that light and that

518
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: sound in those eighty thousand and that other dude that

519
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: you can take out all of your frustrations on. And

520
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: what's the worst they're gonna say foul? What's the worst

521
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna say penalty? Like it's crazy. So that is

522
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: a different world. Here's the part that I don't think

523
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: gets discussed enough. I call it the valley of vulnerability,

524
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: the valley of vulnerability, and boy is it vast it.

525
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it is so hard to go into the

526
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: real world and to now trust that you're in a

527
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: different world, that you've been in a situation and circumstance,

528
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: that you have invested it and you've been protected from

529
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: that real world. That abyss that value of vulnerability, because

530
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: when you're in that valley, you got to start learning

531
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: different skills even though you have the proper habits. Oh,

532
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: no one's tougher than an athlete. No one's tougher than

533
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: someone who has a work determination like an athlete does.

534
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, you talk about the physical and the mental

535
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: strength to deal with any any variable, any circumstance. Oh man.

536
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: We are built for hard workers, passionate, got desired to

537
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: do anything to the fullest. Yes, that's why a lot

538
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: of CEOs are former athletes, not professional necessarily, but collegiate

539
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: in high school. Right, We're built for that. But when

540
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: you're in the real world, you also got to be vulnerable.

541
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: You need to extend your hand and you got to

542
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: receive that extended hand to make sure you can make

543
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 1: the proper connections to thrive in that world. It's a

544
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: lot different. I tell my friends all the time. The

545
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: biggest blessing it felt like in terms of my emotions,

546
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: in terms of my mindset, wasn't getting the money when

547
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: I got drafted. It was the fact that when I

548
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: got drafted, I still was able to stay on schedule

549
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: and stay in structure. Yeah, because I have friends that

550
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: when they graduated, they had to figure it out like

551
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: that day dropped in the middle of the ocean twenty one,

552
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: figure it out what you're gonna do or that degree

553
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: sounds great, but they haven't they have one too, They

554
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: have one as well. Theirs is even better than yours.

555
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: And reputation. What you're gonna do? Middle of Ocean? Me man?

556
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I was there with the coast Guard. They was like, okay,

557
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: ourselves be at the airport nine am tomorrow, soone we'll

558
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: be there with the buffalo bills had on. And then

559
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: when you're laying I was like, damn, I got to

560
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: stay on that railroad, right, But what happens when those

561
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: tracks none in front of you anymore? Right? What do

562
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: you do then? And it sounds like Ben Gordon is

563
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: going through it. Maybe there's some mental health issues here,

564
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: Maybe there's more to it. Maybe he just misses the game.

565
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: He doesn't know how to let it out in frustration,

566
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: not a pity party time, but just trying to identify

567
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: the issues going on, because I know that without counseling, oh,

568
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: my wife issues and marital issues, and my issues with

569
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: my upbringing and then all of a sudden taking it

570
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: out on my kids, it would have just been a

571
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: vicious cycle. And it's hard to break the vicious cycle

572
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: because one, you gotta admit you've been wronged, you've been

573
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: in some bad situations. You gotta admit that you did wrong.

574
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: And then two, you gotta be so honest and brave

575
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: that you're gonna stop all the bs, which comes with

576
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: a verdict and accusations against what happened to you. You

577
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: gotta call your mom and daddy out, gotta call your

578
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: friends out, you gotta call yourself out. That's tough, y'all.

579
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: That is that valid of vulnerability. Man. So I hope

580
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: Ben Gordon gets right. Man. Three different arrests since October.

581
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: Obviously he's spiraling out of control. All right, y'all, y'all

582
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: know how we finished every single show on this never

583
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: shut up? We finished what a wildlyism. Oh my kids

584
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna come running down. They know when I started singing

585
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: that shows almost over all, right, I like this one.

586
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: Courage is knowing what not to fear, Yes, Plato, Yes,

587
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: courage is knowing what not to fear. I think I

588
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: have a great skill of knowing what not to be

589
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: scared of. And I wasn't always this way, because I

590
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: was the kid that was terrified of everything. I remember

591
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: when I went to the drive in and saw Jason

592
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: and Friday the thirteenth, we saw Freddy Krueger, and I

593
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: was scared to go to bed those nights. Right now,

594
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I know what not to be heared of. Like, baby,

595
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: you heard a sound. That was the house shifting. Baby,

596
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: we've been here a year, it's still shifting. Like, ain't

597
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: nobody downstairs? The alarms are on it. If not, look baby,

598
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: if they were gonna come up here, they're coming, like

599
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna go look for them, and then they

600
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: ain't there. So you gotta just know what not to

601
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: be scared of, including other people, including other people's thoughts,

602
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: including other people's opinions of you. You can use whatever

603
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: method you want, right, but don't be scared. Like That's

604
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: what I love about this shows we're gonna talk about

605
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: stuff that it seems like other places either they don't

606
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: want to or they may be a little scared too.

607
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: Right whatever, if you're thinking it, somebody else is thinking it.

608
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: My dad used to always say that. I used to

609
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: always come up with these random things. I was like, Daddy,

610
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: you ever think somebody has like six toes? He's like yep.

611
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: I was like why. He's like, well, if you thought

612
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: about it, somebody's already done it. And I was like

613
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 1: what and he was like yeah, so someone already has it.

614
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I was like what, and no matter what I would

615
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: come up with, it was true. It It occurred like

616
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: I've not thought of something that has not occurred just

617
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: yet except people flying. But I've seen that too on

618
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: vacation as well. They had the jet pack on, but

619
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: he still was in the air. So the point is, man,

620
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: no what not to be scared of? That includes a

621
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: different opinion. That's why. If y'all notice in the comments,

622
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: and I made this a rule, I told you one

623
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: of my rules is I don't respond to negative comments.

624
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: Why I ain't got time to wrestle with your poison.

625
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: You disagree with me, I read it, I respect it.

626
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: I'll use it to adjust if I need to. But

627
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: me and you ain't about to tangle because guess what,

628
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go that way forward positive. I ain't

629
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: got time to stop down for all the negativity. And

630
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: another thing is if you don't understand what I'm saying,

631
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: or it's misconstrued, or you think I wasn't clear, you're

632
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back and read it again or
