Speaker 1: You to say that because Dion's a special person to me,

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: and you know, our relationship is unique in itself because

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: he's a natural motivator. That's why this is a relationship.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: We've been knowing each other about fifteen to fifteen years

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,800

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: his natural gifts.

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 2: Why are you just such a natural motivator, Dion?

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: And I think it's something that I saw as a child.

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: I saw a mother who worked careless just so ends

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: could see one another because they never met. I saw

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: a father that struggled with drug addiction, stepfather that struggled

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: with alcoholism. I saw an inner city that I was

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: engulfed in that I lived in and then I resided,

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: and that was headed nowhere in no direction. And something

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: inside of me said, you could take a little bit

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: of this from your mama. You could take a little

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: bit of that and from this. You can take a

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: little bit of that and be whatever you want to be.

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: And no one can stop you if you focus and

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: put your mind to it. No one can stop you

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: if you don't quit. And that was the formula.

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Now, but you know, but you, but you you You

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: describe a background or an environment where there are nothing

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: but roadblocks in life. But you have this natural I

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: can win personality. Da You know that at.

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: Prime time things different posh and I see things different,

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: Like like, I'm a football coach and some days it rains,

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: And the first thing I do, the coaches say, well,

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: prim it may rain today. I say, what's a percentage.

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: They say, well, it's a forty percent chance it's gonna rain.

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: I say, what that means is a sixty percent chance.

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: It ain't right. That's just the way I look at that.

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: I just always look at the positive. And everything negative

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: is easy to see. It's easy to really it's easier

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: to take a chance with it. But the positive is

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: something that people overlook. We always think about what we

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: don't have instead of thinking about what we do.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing about them, I don't know, you know,

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: we must be like this moon be circling whatever. I'm

62
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: down or something. And I'm one of those guys who

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: stay up all the time. I can always get a

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: text from you. Keep your head up, brother. You know

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: the blessings are going to come your way.

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: Now.

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: I know you just don't do it for me, but

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: you still take the time to remind your friends.

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: There's always a brighter day. That's amazing, Sean.

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: I have a text list of a couple hundred people

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: that they've been getting my texts over twenty years every

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: morning between certain hours now I'm off on weekend, but

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: Monday through Friday, they get it. Like, for instance, this morning,

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: say get yourself together and do what you know you

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: need to do and be what you desire to be.

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: Trim the fat off your life. Right now he's holding

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: you back, and you know it. Truth, just a simple

78
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: That's the first thing to hit my spirit when I

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: woke up this morning, and I put it.

80
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Out and guess what, and it's received.

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is that Deanna has always

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: known me because yeah, I see him as a talented, handsome, articulate,

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: entertaining guy, and but he always put family.

84
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: First and kids first.

85
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: When I say kids, I'm talking about his youth program,

86
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: his educational program. Because I would tell him, Man, let's

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: go to LA do a sitcom, Let's go to LA

88
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: do a talk show, Let's go to New York. He said, Rasha,

89
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: can you do your talk show on one day?

90
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: You know what. We've had some real conversations like that too. Man,

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: It's like bron you could do this like okay, but

92
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: but can they shoot him in Dallas? You know, because

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm telling you that you're you're exactly right. You're you're

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: not lying, but well, first of all, you don't lie anyway,

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: but by any means, you are telling the truth. Because

96
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: I understand what's my purpose is tied to my passion.

97
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: You know, if I'm not passionate about it, it cannot

98
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: be my purpose. And God blesses what I'm passionate about,

99
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: and them things I want to do, but it ain't me.

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: I would love to do it, but it ain't me.

101
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: And you got the decipher in your life between what

102
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: you are are you really passionate about and God would

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: bless it? Or things that you want to do, And

104
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: it's like deciding between needs and wants. Once upon a time,

105
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: I used to go and get whatever I want it

106
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 3: because I had you know, that type of cash, and

107
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: you could get whatever you want it. Now it's all

108
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: about your needs. You still have the resources, I still

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: have the finances to do it, but now I'm more

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: importantly focused on my needs.

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: Not right right right?

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: And you and your family too and what they can

113
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: do and what they and the legacy and that, but

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody about that. You know, we

115
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: laugh about it, but I just want to let everybody

116
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: and know. It's something about what's important to not only you,

117
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: but the people that you impact along the way. And

118
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: that's important to you because, like I said, like you said,

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: you know you've done. You've been an incredible baseball player,

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: an incredible football player, or.

121
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: The entertainer in the music industry.

122
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: You acted, You've done all these things, but it all

123
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: came back to what you can do for the next person.

124
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: And you have turned down millions, flared about millions of opportunities.

125
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: I say that's negative, because you felt that there was

126
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to change lives.

127
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: This part of my piece, it is part of my purpose,

128
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: ties me to my piece. So when I'm acting in

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: my purpose now I activate my piece. Perfect example, we

130
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: had a high school baseball game and I took most

131
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: members of the team to this piece of property that

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: I own in nine acres lake, I mean ac rich

133
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: and I'm sitting up there with the guys in a

134
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: circle and I'm teaching them about life and property. I say, see,

135
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: let me tell you something. Somebody could go out there

136
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: and buy a Rose Wars Phantom, which is going to

137
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: be four hundred and fifty maybe a half a million dollars.

138
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: Time you drive their car off the lot, that depreciates

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: thirty percent. And now that's what you're dealing with. Then

140
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: it's a new car. Come my next year. People want that.

141
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: It's a new one. So your car constantly depreciates. Now

142
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: you could buy this property for the same costs, and

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: not only will it appreciate, but now you get to

144
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: the point where I'm willing it down to my son.

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: Right then he's keeping it in the family for his sons.

146
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: It constantly appreciates, and you can enjoy year after year

147
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: after year, and just teaching them little things like that

148
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: that we don't think about and no one teaches us.

149
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: And that's a big thing, because you know, I was

150
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: talking to a gentleman in Houston and he's throwing a

151
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: documentary on black farmers how they're losing their land because

152
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: the younger generation they see the land as they don't

153
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: see the value in the land, and they just sell it.

154
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: And so black farmers are losing their property.

155
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: But as they always say, God's not making more earth,

156
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: okay earth, He's not making more land.

157
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: You don't make them more But see, that's why I

158
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: love you, my brother, because I mean, and you downplay

159
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: it because you're a humble person. But the times that

160
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: I've called you for advice on the next move for

161
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: a career, I mean, you're looking at it as you're

162
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: looking at it as a person who's been there, done that,

163
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: a person who is not just looking at his own

164
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: come up, but looking at men saying, okay, for you,

165
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: this is what's best for you. But we can talk

166
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: about those type of things because we have that type

167
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: of relationship, right But oftentimes men, men of color and

168
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: men of status, we never even conversate with each other

169
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: because we're so busy competing and that's ignorant. So you've

170
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: never been that way, and I appreciate you for it.

171
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: Can I be? Can I be?

172
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: And that's why because because a person like you, who

173
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: I followed your entire career. And before we go to

174
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: the next break, I want to talk about how did

175
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: you because see, branding is the word just thrown around

176
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: by everybody. Everybody got a brand, everybody said they are brand.

177
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: For prid time.

178
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: How did you figure it out? Because man, you're a

179
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: legend dude, you're a legend. I look at the NFL combines,

180
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: I look at those players call you on Sunday nights

181
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: on your show. They all know the who you are,

182
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: and that means that you're very relevant. But to the

183
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: modern day player, and a lot of players can't do that,

184
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: they can't feel how they can just still be themselves

185
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: and relatable. But Prime Time, the branding machine, is very relatable.

186
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: Why well, First and foremost, I think people are crazy

187
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: and they understand that it's not October, it ain't Halloween.

188
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: They know who's trick or treat nowadays, and they know

189
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: what's real. They know it's genuine, and they know when

190
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: I talk to them, when I articulate myself to them,

191
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: it's no motive. There's nothing behind the curtains that I'm

192
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: trying to get garnish from them because I have means

193
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: and I have ways. But this is all started in college. Man.

194
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: I played a position that wasn't handsomely paid, and I

195
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: forfeited an opportunity to play professional baseball out of high

196
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: school because I rolled the dice on myself. That's something

197
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: that I don't bet in Vegas, but I'm gonna bet

198
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: on Prime all day long. So I said, you know what,

199
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to college and play this football thing

200
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: because my goal and my dream is to retire my

201
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: mama for the rest of her life. And once this eight, yeah,

202
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: once this agent showed me the finances that a cornerback

203
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: commands in the NFL, I was upset, I was saying,

204
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: because I started reflecting. I started to reflect on the

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 3: opportunities that passed out of high school. What did I

206
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: start thinking about? Okay, this type of money that they're

207
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: paying d.

208
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: D hold that thought, man, hold that thought.

209
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna have more own How the prime time came

210
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: about in college?

211
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: On our next break with Dion Sanders, Welcome back to

212
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: the Money Making Conversations masterclass hosted by Rushawn McDonald. How

213
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: does Rashan McDonald?

214
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: You're listening to Money Making Conversations And before we left,

215
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: we was talking to my main man, Deon Sanders, and

216
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: he was telling us about the evolution of prime time. Now, Diane,

217
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: you were saying that you could have played baseball straight

218
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: out of high school, pro baseball, but you opted to

219
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: play football at the defensive back position for the Florida State.

220
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: Then you got to what your agent you realize how

221
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: much money was being made that the evolution of prime

222
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: time started to you all talk to us about that.

223
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: Well, let me slow it down. It was Asians trying

224
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: to solicit me up until my sophomore year, so they

225
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: knew I was going to be a baseball player as

226
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: well as a football player, so they were soliciting me early.

227
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 3: And one happened to send me the status of how

228
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: much defensive backs made in the NFL, and I was

229
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: alarmed that they were one of the worst paid positions.

230
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: It really upset me, so I really sat down. Now

231
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: you better understand. In nineteen eighty five, I came to

232
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: Florida State where the Firebird where the front license Tate

233
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 3: you said Primetime. I thought it was my nickname out

234
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: of high school, so I already had the moniker. So

235
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 3: now it was just enacting it and really marketing it

236
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: and saying to myself, you know what, I got to

237
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: create something that surpasses any defensive back in the game

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: because I got the goods, So now I got to

239
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: give you the drama in the game and the intellect

240
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: and the savviness and the sponge an antea and I

241
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: sat in my dormitory room with a black book and

242
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: wrote down probably about twenty five to fifty quotes that

243
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: I would say after the game, and I memorized it. It

244
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: was like if I had a great game, they say,

245
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm the best thing since

246
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: Peter but a jelly baby, I thought y'all knew and

247
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: those things would go national. So now this this added attention,

248
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 3: and now they were getting much more than just the

249
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: defence back. They was getting someone of an entertainer, somewhat

250
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: of a person who would command people to come see

251
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: and play, whether they hated them or loved them. And

252
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: that's what prime time. The brand had came and I

253
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: just materialized it in my dormitory room in college.

254
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: But not nobody hated you. Now, I'll tell you them

255
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: when it came to returning.

256
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: Punchs, opposing teams, opposing teams there.

257
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: For they respected you.

258
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you something, man, because everybody wanted

259
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: you on their team.

260
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: Now it was fear. See.

261
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: See, I'm just when I used to watch you because

262
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: I was I'm from Texas and I'm just watching this

263
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: this this guy just just doing some things that I

264
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: had never seen before with style, with articulation, you know,

265
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: and then when did the high step, you know, going

266
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: in the end zone with the touchdown?

267
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: When did that come about? What was the evolution of man?

268
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: That's seven years old plans for the Fort Myns rebels

269
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 3: and Fort Mynes flaughter. Man, that means, you know, that's

270
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 3: what That's what Walter Payton did when he was in

271
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: the pros and we grew up watching him. But that's

272
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: that's the things that we emulated. Then we got an

273
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: the end zone and we did the Billy Wright shoes

274
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: Johnson the way back in the day. I mean, we

275
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: danced because it was a happy time and life and

276
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: a happy moment. And we knew that no one in

277
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: my family matriculated to college. Man, no one went to college, right,

278
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: that wasn't even a thought. So being in the first

279
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: and being someone that said, you know, I'm gonna get

280
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: out of here because the only thing was getting us

281
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: out was the armed forces or job corps, that's the

282
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: only thing that's or jail, that's what people was leaving

283
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: to go to. And it tripped me out. Someone was

284
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 3: getting ready to go to prison for twenty years and

285
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: they throwing them a party in the crib I'm like,

286
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: what's wrong with y'all? Man, hein't going to jail. That's

287
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: to celebrate, right, And that's just all that kind of

288
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 3: stuff that changed my life. It just changed my whole

289
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: thought process that I got to get up out of here.

290
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: Now this is now. Now you're a legend in so

291
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: many ways. First of all, the forty second time at

292
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: the NFL Combine. You know, I know, John Ross supposedly

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: broke your record against what whatever. Okay, you were able

294
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: to run that fat and become a Hall of Famer. Now,

295
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: the thing I love about you is that you talked

296
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: about Billy white hues. Johnson, I knew the little chicken

297
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: wing leg. But players are still doing the.

298
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: Prime time stroll in the end zone.

299
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: See See, That's why I know why you're still relevant

300
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: because people, the people, the players still understand that they

301
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: can communicate with you.

302
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: And it shows every.

303
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: Time at the NFL Combine like this, every type a

304
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: player came over you, whether it was white or black.

305
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: They knew they could relax and talk like I would say,

306
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: real to Dionne.

307
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

308
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: That's that's correct, Because I'm there too give them to

309
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: give to them, to make the support them to encourage them,

310
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: and a lot of players that I'm fond of that

Speaker 3: love these kids, man, and I don't want them to

318
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: make the same mistakes I made because there was no

319
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: communication or conversation. Because when you reach that level, no

320
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: one wants to help you, No one wants to talk

321
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: to you, and then you can't turn to your family members.

322
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: They ain't never been nowhere. I mean, how you gonna

323
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 3: tell me about how to how to balance this check

324
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: book and how to how to understand what I need

325
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: to purchase and what I don't need to purchase. And

326
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: you ain't never had none, I don't. It was no

327
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: one to talk to in your family because you're supporting

328
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: the entire family and friends.

329
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Now that goes back to albom saying. Is that is

330
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: that you have to have a supporting group around you

331
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: that not only believe in your brand, but that you

332
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: can trust. How did you come about developing that strong

333
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: support base that protects you but also advises you, but

334
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: also to challenge you.

335
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: For foolish mistakes. I made some idiotic mistake, and you

336
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: learn from trialing the era. I had a gentleman that

337
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: blessed me that passed away a few years ago, named

338
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: Eugene Parker, African American agent, one of the powerhouse agents

339
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: in the game. And Eugenie and I met when I

340
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: was still in college, and he oversaw my entire career.

341
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: He was always saved, always went home to his wife,

342
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: always was a man of God, always a good person.

343
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: And he allowed me to develop into what I am now.

344
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: But he never pushed me, never shoved me, because he

345
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: know it would have been too premature. So he let

346
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: me get a lot of things out of my system.

347
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: But also he would guide me. The thing about a

348
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: cut man in the corner and a coach in the corner.

349
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: In a boxing man, she's telling you left, right, left, right,

350
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: But when you get hit, all that stuff throws you off.

351
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: And I was hit a few times, you know, by

352
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: some nonsense that I didn't expect. He was always there

353
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: telling me what was wrong, right and what was wrong.

354
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: So I really had no catastrophic ignorance in my life.

355
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 3: I had some bull jump that I can't control that

356
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: divorces and all that kind of message. We that's just

357
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: being a man and foolish living. But all together, I

358
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: kind of kept it on the road.

359
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Get on, I want to talk about Prime five. That's

360
