Speaker 1: Welcome back to More to It, to show that takes

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: a deep dive into the biggest stories.

00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: In sports, entertainment, and culture.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Start with headline news, and then we journey into those

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: deeper conversations, always finding those life lessons that are presented

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: in every single story.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Ourselveswally, dad.

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: Dude, all love out there. We're gonna have an amazing show.

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good. I'm feeling really good from the

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: heart out, from the inside out. I'll get to that

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: in a second, but I want to thank you guys

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: for all the love. Watching me on brings TV, watching

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: me on YouTube, subscribing to the YouTube membership Wiley's World.

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: The numbers continue to go up. I am addicted to

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: checking it and hitting the reset every time and watching

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: the numbers continue to climb. As long as you guys

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: are into it, I am here for so loving that. Man.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Let's just keep climbing that hill. Oh man, So you

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: know how we start every show, we started off with

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: what's up with that? Dude? Well, yesterday after the show,

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: I went to rehab. Yeah, man, we're the wounded. Walk

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: in and hopefully jog out, maybe run out if you

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: really had a good session, right. And it's crazy because

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: they didn't have all these rehab facilities when I was active.

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: They had one or two, but now it seemed like

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: every other corner you see these facilities, and how do

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: you recognize them? It's easy. When you're walking by you

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: see all these damn jerseys hanging up with the signatures

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: on it. That's all them broken down athletes that have

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: been in there before. So I go in there now

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: and I'm never mistaken as a professional athlete anymore, largely

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: because real active professional athletes go there. So it's pretty

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: obvious to tell the old muscles and that little flab

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: right there from them young type muscles. But it's still

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: good to just go in there and break bread with

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: those guys and drop some wisdom on them every now

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: and there. How the gang used to be. And they

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: just laugh at me, like, oh man, you don't know

39
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: what you talked about. Had a good time though. My

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: knee is feeling better. I'm doing a lot of exercises

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: on that. Try to get that PCL strong. I got

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: that Lamar jacks right now, Gotta get that thing fixed.

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Other than that, just been building out the team, man,

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: reshuffling the deck. As my Bishop Noel Jones used to say, uh,

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: slow to hire, quick to fire, right, So I'm going

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: through that process of slowly evaluating everyone who to hire.

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: But trust me, across your boy, don't do your work,

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: not into this plot. Yeah, ass, it's quick to get fired.

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: So that's how I always look at stuff. I take

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: my time getting to know you, but show as you

51
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: show me who you are, I'm gonna believe it. And

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: I hopefully think this is something positive and we're gonna

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: go together and ride this wave. But if it's something bad,

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: trust me, I don't feel bad at all leaving you

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: where you are. And other than that, let me tell

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: you why I'm feeling so damn good for real. This morning,

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: I went to speak at my daughter's school in my

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: daughter's class, and this is the toddlers group, y'all. Yeah,

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: the three year olds, the inny biddies, and the inny

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: biddies were not trying to hear me talk, but they

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: were for their age group. But you know, they just

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: can't go ten seconds without just blurting out something random.

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: So the topic was what do you do for a living?

64
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: So before I even answered that question, I made sure

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: that anybody's knew who I was before I became what

66
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: I was, Right, So I just reminded them I used

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: to be a little three year old like them in

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, like them, who had dreams, and my dreams

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: were twofold. It was to be a pro athlete but

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: also a school teacher. So I told them, hey, not

71
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: only did I become a professional football player, but I

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: also became the teacher in a different version, because I'm

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: a broadcaster and I teach people about the ins and

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: outs of the games and taking places that they are

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: not privy to going. And then I hit them with

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the button. I said, Also, I'm the founder of Project Transition,

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: which is a charity that focused it on given resources

78
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: to the people and the community about family education, economic empowerment,

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: sports and experiences. Basically all the ingredients that made your

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: boy that dude and helped me achieve my goals. So

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: it was funny to watch all of those words go

82
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: over the heads of these three year olds. But hopefully

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: while those words were flying over their heads, seeds were

84
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: being dropped and planted in their brains. All right, y'all,

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: let's get into a story right now. Man talking about

86
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a tough situation. Dwayne Wade talks about why he moved

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: from Florida to California. Now, the obvious reason will be

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: just simply California's better than Florida. To me, man, I'm

89
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: an LA native boy. I've been around the world and

90
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: ay ya ya ya have not found a place better

91
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: than La in LA's in California. But this is actually

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: a more serious topic, even though I always bring levity.

93
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade was asked about Florida politicians who count themselves

94
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: amongst his fans and his fan base. Hey, you gotta

95
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: love Dwayne Wade in terms of basketball, but are also

96
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: vocal of LGBTQ policies that negatively affect families like the

97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Wade So he had a few quotes out there. Quote,

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: that's another reason why I don't live in that state.

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Who's the father to a fifteen year old daughter used

100
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: to be a son, daughter Zaiah, who came out as

101
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: transgender in twenty twenty. Quote A lot of people don't

102
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: know that I have to make decisions for our family,

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: not just personal individual decisions. I mean, obviously, the tax

104
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: situation is great, haven't Wade County is great? Yet a

105
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: county named after him, just in the spirit of the

106
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: love they have for Dwayne Wade. He had to leave that,

107
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: he had to abort. That tough, but my family would

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: not be accepted or feel comfortable there, and so that's

109
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I don't live there now.

110
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: He also talks about his parental philosophy, like how he's

111
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: a parent and how he talks to his kids, and

112
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: he talks about his father and how he planted those

113
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: seeds in him and being coming to father. He is

114
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a mirror image of that and quote, so I don't

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: know any difference. And so, yes, I had to educate myself,

116
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: and yes, I had to get a better understanding talking

117
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: about the transgender and the transition. And yes I had

118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: to lose some friends along the process, but I never

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: wavered on loving my kids and trying to find space

120
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: to get the chance to understand them. All Right, The

121
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Waves have now obviously been put as poster people for

122
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: this cause, and that's not a cause that they raised

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: their hand to obviously have to go out there and

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: fight for. But they asked everyone around and their call

125
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: to action is will people fight for all that includes transgenders? Man,

126
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: This is a tough one, right, because they didn't obviously

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: ask for this, But this is something that you have

128
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: to as a parent fully support. Except and this is

129
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: the tough part. This is a child, and the tough

130
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: part about it being a child is what do you

131
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: do as a parent. Yes, Colin, may you support your kids,

132
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: but be Colin B. You have to lead your kids. Right.

133
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm in a situation having four kids. Obviously, Man, I

134
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: don't even let my kids change the channel, let alone

135
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: ever think about allowing them to change their gender. You

136
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying, Like, my kids have my daughter

137
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: right now, she wants to be a butterfly. My son

138
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: wants to be a ninja. Okay, support support now. Obviously

139
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: those are completely different levels of what you really want

140
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: to do. But at the same time I support them,

141
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, But if they ever came

142
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: home and fully committed, like my daughter really got to

143
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the top of the stairs, daddy, I'm a butterfly. We

144
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: had a different conversation, just to bring some light to this.

145
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: So the conversations, I wonder what they were in the

146
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: way family household at that time. But imagine if you're

147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: in that position and your kid is adamant, and your

148
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: kid is not like my kids three, four, seven, right,

149
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: and a twenty four year old. We got a fifteen

150
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: year old and at fifteen you think you know it all,

151
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: but obviously you don't correct. And this is not an

152
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: adult we're talking about. So this is an adult the

153
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: fullest of mature decisions you can make. Hey, if you

154
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: weren't in my house, go ahead. You're not in my house.

155
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: I can't tell my kids what to do it once

156
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: they're gone. I can lead, but I also have to support.

157
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: I just wonder what happened in that situation, because who

158
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: couldn't happen on my watch? But I want everyone out

159
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: there to respect Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union in this

160
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: respect y'all gotta let them be who they are. And

161
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: we got to allow not only a world where they

162
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: have safe space, but a world where we also respect

163
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: each other. Because right now, we need to learn to

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: disagree without disrespect. And I think that's what's happening, and

165
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: I think that's why they were fearful or felt the

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: anxiety of staying still in Florida and came to count.

167
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: You learn to disagree, don't disrespect. Thankful for your viewership

168
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: and your membership in the utube Wily's world. Let's get

169
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: to this story right here, because No, Lie, I am

170
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: becoming more and more of a fan of First Take.

171
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: When JJ Reddick is there with stephen A. Smith in particular, like,

172
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: I like First Take of all the shows, that's the

173
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: one I watched the most. I hate when people say, oh,

174
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: my favorite show is this, But then if you actually

175
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: had like a view ometer in their house and their

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Nielsen ratings, they're watching something else. I'm just talking about

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: what I actually consume the most of all the shows.

178
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: It is First Take. I would have to say that.

179
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: And when JJ Reddick is on there, that feels like

180
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: a brother from another because I'm like, he is talking

181
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: it not only former player perspective, bringing the big brain,

182
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, that big duke brain, but also he is

183
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: pulling no punches. He is going straight at it. So

184
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick had to reset the atmosphere, the tone when

185
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: they were talking about Kawhi Lennard and it comes on

186
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: the heels of when Stephen A. Smith said Kawhi Lennard

187
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: was quote absolutely the worst superstar you can have on

188
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: your team. Right, So that's kind of already out there

189
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: and it's in the air. And then now they're talking

190
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: about Kawhi Lennard once again, and JJ Reddick had enough.

191
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: Listen to JJ, there's a lot to impact there.

192
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: I mean this in the nicest way possible to both

193
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: of you, but listening to each of you right now,

194
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: it's very obvious that you've played zero high level basketball

195
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: and you do not understand the requirements of doing that.

196
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: And I do mean that in a nice way.

197
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: Man. I love when people in a gentle kind kind

198
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: of almost like a mister Miyagi, like you got that

199
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: gentle violence to you, Like you know, I mean that

200
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: in the nicest way. Let me slice y'all up. WHOA

201
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: he talked about is obvious they never played at a

202
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: high level, and that's what needed to be said. That

203
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: is exactly what I would have said in that moment.

204
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Why because that's the divide right now, Like we're literally

205
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: getting our sports dope laced with bs bs from people

206
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: who didn't play it, So therefore it's really bs because

207
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: they're talking and there's this huge gap of knowledge. Now,

208
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: I know Stephen A knows this games and he knows ball,

209
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: but at the same time, when you go to those

210
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: extremes to say that he's the worst superstar of all time,

211
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: or you undermine a guy because of injury, then you

212
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: really don't know the rigors of the game. And that's

213
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: what JJ is talking about. The bs are the biases,

214
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: the simplicities, right, the sensationalism, just the bullshit right, like

215
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: just duh. It's okay to be entertaining, but you also

216
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: can break it down the way it is. Kawhi Leonard

217
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: is trying to climb up basically a heel made of sand.

218
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: It's difficult. Is this a heel that obviously doesn't have

219
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: the strongest foundation. But it's not because of his effort

220
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's not because of his skill. It's just that's

221
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: the way it is for Kawhi Leonard, And you would

222
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: think that there will be a little more nuanced conversation

223
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: about that instead of just throwing Kawhi out with the bathwater,

224
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, because Kawhi is that special player when available.

225
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: So I think the discussion what JJ Reddick was showing,

226
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: and he talked about Zion Williamson as well, Guys who

227
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: feel like they can't get to the next level and

228
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of out of their hands. You could say

229
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: Zion and Kawhi apples and oranges. I hear you, Zion

230
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: looks like and it sounds like he's a guy that

231
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: they need to go motivate a little more to get after.

232
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: But that's not Kawhi is fully motivated trying to do it,

233
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: but at the same time is just not working. So

234
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: where do you come down on that? The fact that

235
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick is up there saying, look, guys, you got

236
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: to understand what we're dealing with, Like the physical display

237
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: of your greatness, which is athletics, is as fickle of

238
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: a sport and as fickle as an occupation as you

239
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: can get. Like just think about how many times you

240
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: walk around in your day without being a high level

241
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: athlete and you feel something right, you step wrong, right,

242
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: you get something caught in the door, whatever it may be,

243
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: you just get up and say, oh my back, my neck,

244
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: and you haven't even went through the rigors yet. And

245
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses for these guys. I'm just saying

246
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: it's a part of the equation. You gotta stand in

247
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: line to be tall, gotta stand in line to be

248
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: you have the perfect body in the build. Have to

249
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: stand in line to be prepared for the moment. Gotta

250
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: stand in line to be lucky. Like people don't understand

251
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: the luck line. You better get in that one too,

252
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: because if it doesn't fall your way, there's a problem.

253
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: I was watching the game last night, right, and I

254
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: was watching Golden State go after against Sacramento, and I

255
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: saw Malik Munk fall down and everybody saw it. Right

256
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: when he fell down, you were like, is this a

257
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: Paul George fall down? The leg gonna come out? You know,

258
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: the bone just pop out his skin, and it felt

259
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: that way and it looked that way, and it scared

260
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Malik Munck like that. But it wasn't the situation. But

261
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: that was because he was lucky. It wasn't because of

262
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: nothing else. You could say, Oh, no, he was ready,

263
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: he was prepared. Oh he did more lunges, he did

264
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: more squats. The reality is sometimes you just need that

265
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: luck and you build your luck, but there is an

266
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: unknown factor to it that even I wish y'all stood

267
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: in that line and got more of that luck. So

268
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: I just loved the conversation. I loved the banter between

269
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick and Stephen A because we know stephen A

270
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: is the ultimate entertainer. He's the king of this sports

271
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: media stuff. Give him his props, y'all. Don't do that.

272
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: And at the same time, there is a former athlete

273
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: who has carved his way and found a niche that

274
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: is also gonna be a to speak to that power, right,

275
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: And it's not just the power of Stephen A and

276
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: his voice, but it's the power of the people he's

277
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: influenced and also doped up to think that if a

278
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: guy is not healthy, the guys not trying, or the

279
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: guy is just simply not good enough. Oh, I'm glad

280
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick is in a building to make sure we

281
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: can balance those scales. Thank you you for your viewership

282
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: and your membership to Wiley's World. On you too. Let's

283
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: talk about Yannis. Whoo, gotta go to can Kum. The

284
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: Clippers already there now, the Milwaukee Bucks are in the

285
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: building because they got beat in the first round series

286
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: as the number one see and lost to Miami. Yes,

287
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Miami is better than Milwaukee, not just the city but

288
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: the basketball teams right now, and that was crazy. So

289
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: then you obviously gonna see a dejected Yannis in the

290
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: post game press conference. But some reporter by the name

291
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: of Eric and I don't know his last name. I

292
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out who was Eric? Eric? What

293
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: y'all let me know in the comments? But Eric asked

294
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: a question that I know in media one on one

295
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: they tell you to ask. You know, it's just one

296
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: of those questions, standard issue. You gotta ask, even though

297
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: you know you feel like an ass asking that question

298
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: because it is a dumb question. And Yannis could take

299
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: no more. Obviously already depleted from losing the series and

300
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: going out there. Even though he balked not bald well enough,

301
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: Yannis gave this answer, do you view this season as

302
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: a failure?

303
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god?

304
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: Uh, you asked me the same question last yet, Eric?

305
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Uh? Do you get Do you.

306
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 4: Get the promotion every year in your job?

307
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: No?

308
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: Right, so every year you walk it's a failure, yes

309
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 4: or no, no, Every every year you work, you work

310
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: towards something to It's a goal, which is to get

311
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: a promotion, to be able, to take care of your family,

312
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: to be able, I don't know, provide the house for

313
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: their model, take care of your penance, your water is

314
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 4: not the failure. It steps to success. Michael Jordan played

315
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 4: fifteen years, won six championship the other nine years was

316
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: a failure. That's what you're telling me. I'm asking you

317
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: a question, yes or no. Okay exactly, So while you're

318
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 4: asking me that question, it's an own question. There's no

319
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: failure in sports.

320
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: Now that response right there. First of all, no hit

321
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: him with the Denzel training day clap, because that is

322
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: exactly why I'm here, y'all. It's that whole entire process

323
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: and the paradigm that he just portrayed about athletics and

324
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: really life, like, so many people get lost in the

325
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: process of not knowing what to grab in terms of

326
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: foundation for the next step, in terms of what is

327
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: rock solid in terms of you trying to be successful.

328
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: So many people get lost in that because they don't

329
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: know what to value, they don't know what to choose.

330
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: And then you see professional athletes and when they finally

331
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: unveil their true identity and personality, a lot of them

332
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: say this same thing in common, like they have learned

333
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: to fail forward and they have learned that even in success,

334
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: you gotta continue to grind. One thing that's built in

335
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: to being an athlete is wins and losses, and from

336
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: your losses. The professional athletes are the ones who went

337
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: lost to lost without losing enthusiasm. Right, The wilyism of

338
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: that in terms of you knowing right now today I

339
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: balled out. I balled out, we lost sor right, I'm

340
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna now figure out how I can keep balling out.

341
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: Translate that to my teammates. Right, Okay, the team won,

342
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: but I indue Jack, Okay, you know what, I'm going

343
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to find my lane in

344
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: the success of the overall group. Right. And professional athletes

345
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: are running at arithmetic all the way from the day

346
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: they picked up a ball, whether it was Aau or

347
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: Pop Warner. And you don't even know how this world

348
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: and those life experiences are working on your psyche. But

349
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: then there are moments when you finally get to see

350
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: that unveiled, like Yannis at that podium, just listening to

351
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: a guy call all of his efforts, even in the

352
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: losing capacity, of failure or at least questioning them as

353
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: if they could be a failure, when we all know

354
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: this is chipping in on the process that leads to

355
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: that goal, to that win, to that success. And that's

356
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: a life lesson that ain't just games and sports talking about. No, dude,

357
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: what about you in your life and everything. Do you

358
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: get a promotion all the time? Do you always get

359
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: properly rewarded for your work? No, but it's still a process.

360
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: And I love the fact that he brought up Jordan,

361
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: because I always bring that up with Tom Brady and

362
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, tom Brady played twenty two years, he

363
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: won seven, so we said fifteen years worth failure. I've

364
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: actually said that on air before and just shake my head, like, dog,

365
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: what are y'all talking about? Even in losses, you still

366
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: can find things that you are successful in or that

367
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: you were actually winning at. And don't be scared to

368
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: be the person that takes that and has a sense

369
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: of pride about that, because you know how it goes.

370
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: And I fail victim to this at times when I played,

371
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: the team loses and everybody has to now demonstrate how

372
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: defeated they are. You have to act as if, oh

373
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: my god, we don't play again next week, we could

374
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: redeem ourselves. Right, don't be normal, don't be even killed.

375
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: Even in the loss. You gotta be depressed. Now. A

376
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of times you really are, so you're not even acting.

377
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: But there are times where you're like, yo, we're out

378
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: there and had three sacks. These fools over here want

379
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: me to be acting like I'm crying, like we gonna

380
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: play it again next week. I need to get three

381
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: sacks again next week and then let's talk about it.

382
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: So even if it's termed and deemed a loss, there's

383
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: still some wins in that, there's still some building blocks

384
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: to what you ultimately want to achieve, and for this

385
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: team achieve again. It's a room full of champions who

386
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: are like, Okay, they got us this year. That's all right.

387
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: We'll go back to that drawing board, make an editor

388
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: to make an addition, make it subtraction, and let's run

389
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: it back. That's the key, that's the goal. Run it back, y'all.

390
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: Run it back with the same enthusiasm, even though you've

391
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: learned from that experience, that losing experience, but never call

392
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: it a failing experience. So Eric he had to go

393
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: back to class. I guess on that one because he

394
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: got schooled. Because I'm glad y'all has set the record straight. Y'all,

395
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: no matter what y'all going through and what y'all trying

396
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: to do, if you are putting in that work, even

397
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: if it doesn't look like you going up, keep going

398
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: with that process. One day it will end in success.

399
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: It's your boy, Marcel Swally, thanking you for your viewership

400
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: and your membership to Wiley's World on YouTube. Let's get

401
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: into this. Ah, it is here Christmas Day for NFL players. Yes,

402
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: it's draft day, and I know y'all gonna be glued

403
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: to the tube like me every year. I always say

404
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch the draft, oh man, whatever, But

405
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: who can miss Goodell getting booed and then giving out

406
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: all them hugs like he from the block, and then

407
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: also just watching which fan base represents the loudest, and

408
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: then watching those guys lives change right before your eyes.

409
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: Pretty dope experience. So we're all gonna be glued to it.

410
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: At least the ratings always say that we're gonna be

411
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: glued to it. But what about the experience that the

412
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: players are going through. That's what I want to talk

413
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: about because it happened to me, and I don't remember

414
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: the exact day, do I. It was in nineteen ninety seven,

415
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: right late April, early May. And I remember the talk

416
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: of the town was I was getting drafted. Now, Why

417
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: I say the talk of the town, even though I

418
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: live in La, which is the city. Ain't no damn town.

419
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: Everybody was talking about me getting drafted. Why because everybody

420
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: fell asleep or was in a coma. Because I went

421
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: to Columbia and none of them saw me play on TV.

422
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: None of them ever saw me getting talked about on

423
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: ESPN the two times it happened at midnight, and none

424
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: of them saw me in all the articles I was getting.

425
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: They just didn't see it. They didn't catch it. I

426
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: didn't go to a big school, so they thought it

427
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: was a rap. Then next thing you know, I'm home

428
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: a little early, still got school, and they're like, yo,

429
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: while he getting drafted, and he throwing a big draft

430
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: party at the Hollywood Racetrack and Casino now which used

431
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: to be the race track where so Far is now,

432
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 1: so it's crazy like before they build so Far, I

433
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: was up there putting in that work for my draft party.

434
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: And that's also no lie. Here come a tier where

435
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 1: I played football from day one, Inglewood Park, Darby Park

436
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: right there overlooking the racetrack, overlooking so Far Stadium, which

437
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: is presently there, which is where I had my draft party.

438
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Y'all following this crazy huh whoo, gotta believe in higher powers.

439
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: So here we go, it's draft day. Seeing inn is

440
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: filming me on my draft day. Right, they were like,

441
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: how did this guy go from Compton in the neighborhood

442
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: to Columbia and actually get the best of both worlds

443
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: and get drafted? So they're documenting this and this is cool.

444
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: So everybody wants to come over for real, real now,

445
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: not just because I'm getting drafted and that's fresh, but

446
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: they gonna be on camera, Like, who doesn't want to

447
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: be the first hug after you get drafted? Everybody always,

448
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, inside everybody who hohok first, you better hug

449
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: his mama. Okay, after mama, daddy, Okay, after mama daddy,

450
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: I better be next. That's my best friend. Man. I

451
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: used to let them borrow my hot wheels, right, everybody

452
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: in that line. And it was crazy because I had

453
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: such a small apartment. The size of this studio was

454
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: like my entire apartment. It was a one and three

455
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: quarter bedroom apartment. We had one bath I swear dog.

456
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Before I got drafted, I never thought twice about the

457
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: fact that we all, all four of us in our

458
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: apartment shared the same bathroom. I never thought of it.

459
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: I never even thought, my mom doesn't have a vanity mirror,

460
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: my sister doesn't have a vanity mirror. We don't have

461
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: dual sinks. I never even thought about it until I

462
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: got drafted. Then you go on your tour and all

463
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, those are options. So I'm sitting there,

464
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 1: it's draft day. CNN got their camera crews all set up.

465
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: My grandma and them were kind of getting mad. I

466
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: was like, because they were putting the cameras in great

467
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: location places where people wanted to sit. We ain't got

468
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: that much room. So they're like, yo, we gotta cut

469
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: the camera here in the tripart. My grandma and they're like,

470
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: you got to move that damn camera. Dammit. Tell of

471
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: them get their angles. We'll figure it out. You can

472
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: have my seat if you need one. So that was

473
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: like seven in the morning, Pacific time.

474
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 2: All right.

475
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and a couple of the invites

476
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. I was a little suspect of

477
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: one of them was my ex girlfriend. You had the

478
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 1: same one that dumped me a year earlier. But now

479
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she magically was in life with

480
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: me again, or maybe in love. So she was there

481
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: uncle's cousins, Mama and Daddy, had cours, sister, my boys. Everything,

482
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: we just piled up from eight in the morning to

483
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: nine to ten. To remember, I got drafted fifty two

484
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: at the time they were talking fifteen on, So like

485
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: nine thirty you start hearing my name. You want to

486
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: know when they really call. And I heard my name

487
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: when I got on the phone with the general manager,

488
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: John Butler. Rest in peace. When I finally talked to

489
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: Marv Levy, I swear it was like four o'clock in

490
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: the afternoon. Whoa seven in the morning, sitting there propped

491
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: up on camera doing interviews, eight o'clock, draft start whatever,

492
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: all the way to four o'clock out of the way.

493
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: How many times can you go back and forth to

494
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: the kitchen to get the celery sticks? You know how

495
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: many times I'm just gonna pound a big bowl of

496
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: nachos and doritos. I just kept trying to play it off. Anxiety, anxiety.

497
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Somebody called me, don't give a damn who. I just

498
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: want to play in the league, right, And the higher

499
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: you get picked, the earlier that call, the more money

500
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: as well. So I was like, yo, just call me dog.

501
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: I got y'all. And finally I got that call, and

502
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: I got that call and it was John Butler to

503
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: Marv Levy, Hey, maurselves want to be a buffalo. Bill

504
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: lost my mind and then everyone else lost their mind

505
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: because immediately I am now seriously and it's a weird

506
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: way to measure it, but you can just tell how

507
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: people treat you. You're star, even in your own family.

508
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: My family all of a sudden, like they wouldn't have

509
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: pauses between our conversations, like before you know, they asked

510
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: me a question to Tator Bear, what's you you like

511
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Nike Adidas? I was like Nike one? Okay, they wouldn't

512
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: ask me another question. Before I got drafted. It felt

513
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: like for ten minutes. But when you get drafted, Oh

514
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: oh you like the Nati one? Which one? The green one? Ah? Yeah,

515
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: I like that green one too. How long you been

516
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: liking the green one? I've been liking it since you

517
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: just asked me what you mean? And then it just everything.

518
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: Everyone was reinforcing how they felt about you and how

519
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: they felt about your relationship and how proud they were.

520
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: So it was weird because most of it was just pride,

521
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: excessive pride at times, then there was also a layer

522
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden you started to look at

523
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: trust a little different, like what's the motivation? Because all

524
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden someone's like, yeah, you can hear the

525
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: violins and the conversation. Yeah you know, can I get

526
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: you know? Can I get a couple? You got it?

527
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: You got it? You got it? You start seeing this

528
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: you got it, and You're like, I ain't got it?

529
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Here got it? They just called my name? You think

530
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: they sent a check? Did you see a pony? Just

531
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: show up with sacks of gold on it? Like, no,

532
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't have any more money than I did yesterday,

533
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: But now the world thinks of you differently than they

534
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: did yesterday. The story that illustrates it the best is

535
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: when I went to the mall and I went to

536
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: the mall and I had forgotten something for my draft

537
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: party at the racetrack and casino, right And I remember

538
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: going there and I was just there buying my outfit,

539
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: and he say nothing to me, but good luck, Marcella's

540
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: go ahead and get drafted. Proud of you this time.

541
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: I forgot my head band and I'm in there and

542
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm getting the headband. The dude wouldn't even ring it up.

543
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: He was like, oh my god, and he was telling

544
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: everybody in the store, told his wife to come from

545
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: the back, take a picture, take a picture, And all

546
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you become one of those black and

547
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: whites up there next to Smokey Robinson and Magic Johnson

548
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: or something right, and you're like, oh my god, that's

549
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: how it is. And the dude just completely acted different

550
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: a one eighty from the day before. And I was

551
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: just there here, same dude me who used to shop

552
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: here all the time. So I thought that was amazing.

553
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: But then you all of a sudden you get that

554
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: itinerary and life just becomes a big conveyor belt, like

555
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: you literally just get on it. Okay, I am now

556
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: flying the Buffalo, I am doing press conferences. Okay, now

557
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a mini camp. Now I'm in training camp.

558
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: And that was the most beautiful thing about it. You

559
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: imagine being twenty one years old, like most people when

560
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: you graduate, what's next, where you're going, what city, et cetera,

561
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do, what job is waiting for you?

562
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: And for me, all of that was decided for me.

563
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have to think about it. I didn't have

564
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: to stress over even though I had the anxiety of

565
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: thinking through it. They were making the decisions right. I

566
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. They did it, and it

567
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: was a blessing. And then you're gonna live in this area.

568
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: These are the choices. And then I had that tour

569
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: of the townhouse that I bought right that had dual sinks,

570
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: the townhouse that I bought that did have a vanity mirror.

571
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: I was like, nah, I'm single, I only need that,

572
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: but I do need extra bedroom, no wrong. So it

573
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: was just hilarious to watch. And then actually going to

574
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: the store and it's weird because you going to the

575
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: store now without a budget in that store, right, I'm

576
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: going to Circuit City. I don't have a budget anymore

577
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: Circuit City, and that actually gave me so much freedom

578
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: that I tightened the belt. It was weird because I

579
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: was like, I ain't buying all this stuff in here,

580
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: even though I can't afford it all now, and it's like,

581
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this this. I need a TV, Okay,

582
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: I need that. I need a stereois stuff. But I

583
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: was like, don't go crazy. And then I went crazy

584
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: because I was young with murdy, but I tried, my

585
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: damn is to stay with the Other thing that was

586
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: crazy were the women, Let's be real, like wherever she

587
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: was before on you. Oh, Marcella says he I turns

588
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 1: to good, good, turns to great, great, turns to oh

589
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: my god, that's my husband as soon as I meet him,

590
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: like everybody amped up. And then the crazier part than

591
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: that were the people who wouldn't talk to you, the

592
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: girls who didn't want to holler because you were an athlete,

593
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: and there were a few like nope, force filled up.

594
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: Mama and Daddy must have told him, hell no, no

595
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: pro athletes because he is just in and out like

596
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: the burger, in and out. And I was like, oh,

597
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: you don't even want to holler at me. No, you're

598
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: an athlete. I heard you. You got drafted the Buffaloes.

599
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: M I'm good, you good, that's it. And then literally

600
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: would talk to anybody else but you. That happened too,

601
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: But it was an amazing experience getting drafted. Man. But

602
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: the craziest thing is how you get flipped on your

603
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: head because everything else flips in front of you, right, good, bad,

604
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: and ugly. It all changes no matter what, and the

605
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: crazy part about it is you also become the head

606
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: of your household in some weird dynamics. Why because you

607
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: can support the family, you can support the household. That

608
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: was interesting. So next time you see these guys and

609
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: they're walking up to Goodell with that big hug, and

610
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: they're screaming and yelling and crying because all of these

611
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: things are happening right before their very eyes. Their whole

621
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: is getting started. Secret to get in the head is

622
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: getting started. Whoop. No paralysis by analysis, right, damn it.

623
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Get out your head and get your feet moving, right.

624
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: I tell my kids all the time, I was like,

625
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: stop talking, start walking because they'll sit to d and

626
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this. We're gonna do this. I was like,

627
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: y'all have not done a damn thing. But make the

628
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: list longer the stuff you need to do. Go do it.

629
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Get it started right like Hamma, Get it started. Get

630
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: it started, that's it I mean. And then all of

631
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, you get the law of reciprocation going for you,

632
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: like what you give is what you're gonna get. You

633
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: get the law of attraction going for you. Oh you

634
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: want that, well, let me bring some resources to help

635
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: you go get that. And you gotta be mindful because

636
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: all of this is working for you, but you gotta

637
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: believe it is. And you gotta also grab it. Why

638
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: it's in front of you right, Because opportunity they don't

639
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: come on wrong that often. Like opportunities, they're not every

640
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: single moment, they're not always every single day. But when

641
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity strikes, you better go and get it. So

642
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: make sure y'all just don't sit there on your calculator

643
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,759
