Listen, I'm not one of these 84 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: crazy New York fans who can't divide church and state. 85 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: I support the Jets.

So we're 90 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: just jumping right into it. Huh.

Know 94 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: everything is good, man. I'm so excited. Obviously, it sucks 95 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: when you leave a great situation behind great people. Um, 96 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: but I think for what I'm trying to accomplish now, 97 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: it was the best thing for for for me in 98 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: my football career. Well, I'm listen, you're you're being very 99 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: generous by saying great situation. You but you you were 100 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: out there playing. You're playing hurt last year, As far 101 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, they did. They did not just the 102 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: team wrong, the offense wrong, they did the city wrong. 103 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: You know, I know, you know you were down with 104 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: Fits and you supported Fits as you should be, um 105 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: and as you should have. But I just felt like 106 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: it was it wasn't fair to anybody. But but but 107 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: moving forward, you're a New York giant, you with a 108 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: receiving corps, particularly oh Dell that's sort of beyond sports. 109 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: It's like a pop culture wide receiving corps. You're a veteran. 110 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: You also came into the league at a time where 111 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: you've done like a complete one eighty from the young 112 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall to who you are today. How are you 113 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: gonna fit in with these with these young guys that 114 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: are almost like a generation behind you? You know what? 115 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy. It must feel weird. But you know, 116 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: you're getting up there and age. You look fantastic, but 117 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: you're getting up there in age. How are you gonna 118 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: fit in with these dudes? I'm not, you know. It's 119 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: it's one of those things, you know, when those guys 120 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: are so young and they're in different music, different things. Um, 121 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, So when it comes to the cultural part 122 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: of it, I just sit back and laugh, man, because 123 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: half of these songs they listened to, I have no clue. 124 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the football side, I think 125 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: it's complimentary football. You know, it's being able to, um 126 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: take pressure off of those guys, uh, specifically o'dale. You know, 127 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: he sees a lot of double teams, a lot of 128 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: role coverage, the things that I've seen, you know, my 129 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: entire career. So you know, defenses will have to pick 130 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: their poison. And um, I think it's gonna be a 131 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 1: really special year. You know. I I do too, and 132 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, defenses are gonna have to pick 133 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: their poison. You know. Last year was was a mess 134 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: up for the Jets, but the year before you you 135 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: were one of the best, uh, you know in the league. 136 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: You put up so many numbers. You know, it's still 137 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: under dress, you know, with the Jets offense and the 138 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: Jets quarterback controversy, and uh, you know you're you're able 139 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: to avoid any major injuries lately. So I think that 140 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, the receiving corps with you in O'Dell and 141 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: and Chep, this is like top one, two three receiving corps. 142 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: What what are you gonna do now? How do you 143 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: fit into you You've made so many adjustments to going 144 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: from team to team, coach to coach, quarterback to quarterback. 145 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: How do you fit in now? And how do you 146 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: start planning ahead to play with McAdoo and you've got 147 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: a real quarterback who's done it on the big stage. 148 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: How do you get in like your head ready for that, 149 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: you know? Going forward? I think it's easy football. Football 150 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: is simple. We just make it complicated, complicated and hard, 151 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: you know. For me, I'm a wide receiver, a ceball 152 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: catch fall, you know, And when it comes to the offense, 153 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: you have to have obviously the smarts to be able 154 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: to pick up the offense and be able to adapt to, 155 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, changes within practice or in games. But at 156 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, if they tell 157 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: me I have to run in twelve yard comeback, then 158 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: I have to run into a twelve yard comeback and 159 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: offense you have. It's about precision and execution. So for me, 160 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: I've always done a great job of understanding what's been 161 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: asked of me and doing my best to execute it. 162 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm excited about it because you got, like you said, 163 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: at a quarterback, Eli Manning, who's done on the biggest stage. 164 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: And uh, he's super talented, but I think the thing 165 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: that goes unnotices his working in the classroom. This guy, 166 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: sup from what I'm hearing, is relentless. So I'm excited 167 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: because I know that's where you win, and whether it's 168 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: sport or life, that's where you win. Uh, in between 169 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: your ears. So we're all ready off to a great start. Yeah, 170 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Eli, you know people could you 171 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: know pick and you know criticize this aside from winning 172 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: you know, two Super Bowls. The dude doesn't sit out games. 173 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: He I have him on my old goon squad. B Marshall. 174 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: I he's one of my sleeper picks on my all 175 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: goon squad, just on the fact that you know the 176 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: amount of games he's played and and and you know, 177 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: and and obviously God is the only one who control 178 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: the injuries. But but I know, like the rest of 179 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: you guys, Eli has played through pain and and and 180 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: and my question and far as Goon, is this you, 181 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, you have turned your persona around 182 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: and what I truly believe, your personal life around. When 183 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: you came into the league, you were the guy that 184 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: was looked at like the odel. You were the guy 185 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: that was looked at as the head case. You were 186 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: the guy that was looked at his you know, he's 187 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: not good for a team. He's not a team player. 188 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: And and my question for you is, and and I 189 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: really admire this about you, sincerely, what did you do 190 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: to turn it around? And how do you continue to 191 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: turn it on and off? Because off the field you've 192 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: moved forward, you're doing such a good job with the broadcasting, 193 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: you're doing such a good job with all all the 194 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: mental health issues that you're dealing with. But when you're 195 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: on the field, how do you continue to click that 196 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: goon on? You got these little punk the fensive backs, 197 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: these young guns coming at you, and you push them 198 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: off you like fly. So how do you you know, 199 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: sort of separate Brandon Marshall the grown man now from 200 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall the football player who's got to get out 201 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: there and kick ass. Man. That's it's really hard. That's 202 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: a difficult thing to do because I'm wired that way. 203 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: And uh, well, I mean there's two sides of it. 204 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: One is one, like I actually sat down for three 205 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: months in the outfacing program and I had to learn 206 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: tools and skills that are needed to be able to 207 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: professionals say self regulate my emotions, right. Um. And that's 208 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: what you see with a lot of younger professionals, professional athletes, 209 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: where you know there's a thin line between playing with 210 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: emotion and passion and then crossing that line where it 211 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: hurts you and hurt your team. Um. But I also 212 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: know players who are are are wired that way. That's 213 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: when they really at their best, when they almost when 214 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: they're really close to losing control. And for me, one, 215 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I had to sit down and that's when I learned 216 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: a lot of those things. But then I start giggling 217 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: and dabbing into sports, uh, sports science and and a 218 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: mental fitness you know, and and and that's where I 219 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: learned that you know, I'm not my best when I'm 220 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: at my and I'm I'm in I'm in the present 221 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: moment where I'm in control of my emotions. So I'm 222 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: not a big trash talker. I want the whistle blows, 223 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: but I'm really not a trash talker. Um. I really 224 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: just start to just try to stay focused, and I 225 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: stayed present and I focused on what I'm supposed to do, 226 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: and then I have a good time. I tovigate. So 227 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a it's a journey for everyone. 228 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: But you know, I wish a more athletes understood that 229 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: the game is won in between the is and we 230 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: can do all of that dancing, haller and screaming, yelling, celebrating, whatever, 231 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: but you know, we gotta stay focus if we if 232 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: we're trying to reach the ultimate goal. And I think 233 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: that's something that we all struggle with at times. Yeah, 234 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I mean, you know, uh, in 235 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: in life too. I mean for me personally, I'm on 236 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: the fringe of every day and just just terms of 237 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: my mouth and behavior and all that stuff. And that's 238 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: one of the things that I truly I respect and 239 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: admire about the way you forget your career just the 240 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: course of your life just from what I know, because 241 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: you know, like I'm a fan and and I really 242 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: respect it. How do you how do you sort of 243 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: and now that you're a vet, you're an older dude 244 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: and you have this personality with o'don. I know you've 245 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: been very supportive before you came to the Giants, you know, 246 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: on on inside the NFL, You've always been supportive of him. 247 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: You know, throughout the you know, the the the the 248 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: fights with the Field gold post and and all the 249 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: other stuff. You've always remained supportive of him. Do you 250 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: say to him your Odell chill like for even not 251 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: even just Odell? Like these young guys when they're they're 252 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: they're bugging out. Are you a type person when you 253 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: only speak when spoken to? Or you might go over 254 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: and be like, yo, cool out man. You're you're fighting 255 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: with a field gold net. Why are you at a 256 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: boat on or off day? Like? Or you just kind 257 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: of like let these guys figure it out on their own. Well, 258 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm in a different position now. You know, I'm walking 259 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: into their locker rooms. So you know, when you're walking 260 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: into another man's locker room, you gotta tread lightly. You 261 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: know a lot of guys walking someone's block room and think, oh, 262 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm I've been playing the league longer than you have 263 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: and I had a lot of success. You need to 264 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: listen to me, And that's the wrong way to do it. 265 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: I think it just happens organically. And I also think 266 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: that when you when you look at this situation, I 267 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: think we'll learn from each other. And I think that 268 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: that's that's where that's that's where great teams are, is 269 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: where you know you can lean on each other and 270 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: a good and a bad time and hold each other accountable. So, yeah, 271 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: I know this is a great team. So I know 272 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: what happened organically. I know there'll be times where Odell 273 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: real in or you know, maybe real Hill means so 274 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's just sports. Well, I think I 275 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: think you guys are in a good place and I 276 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: think he should be so happy to have you as 277 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: a teammate. And obviously, I know you're in a situation 278 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: now where I want you to be able to not 279 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: just taste the playoffs and you know, I want you 280 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: to to to go far into playoffs and the Giants 281 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: last year, you know, the the defense was so solid 282 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: and I hope, hopefully they'll get a running back because 283 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, offensively, you know, you do 284 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: the wide receiving corps. It's gonna be it's gonna be exciting, 285 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: gonna be throwing the ball around. What are you doing 286 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: in the off season? And what's your plans for the future, 287 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: because I see you doing your version, not not following 288 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: his footsteps, but I truly see you, you know, doing 289 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: what the Michael Strahan playbook. Um, so what are you 290 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: doing in the off season and what do you guys 291 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: lined up as far as you know, in the inside 292 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: of the NFL of it all? And also I could 293 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: see you doing stuff that doesn't have anything to do 294 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: with football. What are your hopes and dreams with broadcasting? Well, first, 295 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: in the off season them, I'm just training. I'm not 296 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: really doing anything outside of that besides you know, hanging 297 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: with my family every single dabbly minute I can get. 298 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: But I my gym is right around the corner. Um. 299 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: We just finished up with twenty or so Colmbine guys. 300 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: So those guys getting ready for the NFL. Uh, And 301 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: that's what I really do every off season. Um. When 302 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: you talk about you know, three five, ten years planning, 303 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, I love what Michael Straan has done. He's 304 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: really created a blueprint for all of us, all of 305 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: us athletes to follow, and that I'm not really talking 306 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: about media and broadcasting. It's just being able to build 307 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: something that lasts longer than the game. And he built 308 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: relationships and network while he was in the game um 309 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: and took advantage of his market and now we're seeing 310 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: the benefits of that. So for me, you know, when 311 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: I can, I want to continue to get reps and 312 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: learn right. Sometimes we think that, you know, I'm in 313 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: an NFL. Here I played, I mean I played at 314 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: a high level, so someone's gonna give me a job 315 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: and I I know ball and it's gonna be easy 316 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: for me to go up there and talk. But there's 317 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: so much more to it. The guys who who lashes 318 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: this is the guys who take the same work ethic 319 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: that they had in the weight room and on the field, 320 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: and they do it in the boardroom or in the 321 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: production meetings and the prep work before they even going there. 322 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot for me to learn. Still, 323 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: I see myself doing uh television, being on television when 324 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: I'm done and someone can patch. I really like to 325 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: be like like my goal, Like I want to be 326 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: like a gumble, you know, like I want to get 327 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: into like, uh, investigative reporting stuff.

The black lives matter, and obviously 345 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: the Kaepernick of it all last season was was the 346 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: focal point. And uh, you know, and and I know 347 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: you you've been supportive of him, and you know you 348 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: you've done your your your your stuff on your own 349 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 1: as far as your you know, public protests and being outspoken. 350 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: How hard is it to dance between you know, doing 351 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: stuff for the media, being a professional athlete, being a 352 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: black man, and and and everybody sort of you know, 353 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: wanting to come at you, you know, to support this, 354 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: not support this, not step over the line, not offend anybody? 355 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: Like how conscious of you to are you that? With 356 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: the Twitter of it all, the Instagram of it all? 357 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: You you got a mouth you like to speak, How 358 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: conscious of of all that are you? You know? When 359 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: you are speaking? Very very And the reason why is 360 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 1: because I think we should all be intentional and strategic, 361 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: because what we say has a lot of powerful does 362 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: there's there's um death in life and and our words, 363 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: and when we stand up for something, we've got to 364 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: make sure that um what we say heels and pushes 365 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: the cost forward and that uh destroy and and and 366 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: and take us a few steps back. You know, sometimes 367 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: we have people, you know, they just jumps that jumps 368 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: into a conversation and have no clue what they're talking about, 369 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: or they're really passionate about it, but then that dedicated 370 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: about it. So you know it's easy for me, uh 371 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: to do the things and that as close to my 372 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,239 Speaker 1: heart and jump into fights and movements that you know 373 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: that I believe is why I'm here. And you know, UM, 374 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: I just stick to who I am and and and 375 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: and I just work from there. And you know, I 376 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: truly believe my purpose UM on Earth is the helpers 377 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: the gap in the mental health community. You know, my 378 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: fight like everyone, Like every we we all got our 379 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: own fights and own battles when when we talk about 380 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: things outside of you know, our our our hearts and 381 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: our homes. And there's some people who fight for cancer, 382 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: some people who fight for UM, human trafficking, some people 383 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: fight for UM all sorts of things. For me, it's 384 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: it's it's mental health. And I think, you know, if 385 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: we all stick to those things that are really close 386 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: to our hearts, then we'll see a healthier world. You know, 387 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: we don't have to take on all we stretch self 388 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: thinned and you know we're really not getting anything done. Yeah, 389 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: well I think it's dope. I really really truly admire 390 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: you know what you're doing with that and UM and 391 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: and you know, I know you can continue doing it, 392 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 1: and I know, like You're just gonna make an impact 393 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: on it because you're not the quote unquote face, the 394 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: average face, the normal face that you would associate with 395 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: mental health.
