It's by design for you to be on 18 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: the Debate show and debate and argue and differ, right do. 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: That's how the game goes, and that process. People don't 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: understand that they don't force you to pick a side, 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: but basically you come with your original, authentic opinion. Right, 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: So whenever you see Beef of the time, it's really 23 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: what they feel in this situation. Because I'm so familiar 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: with those two individuals and the network at large, I'm 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: gonna break this one down. Uh. I love my friends, 26 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: I love my coworkers, I love my peers, but I 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: love the truth more. And so let me tell you 28 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: the truth. This one started a long time ago in 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: terms of their history. You gotta know the dynamic, how 30 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: they all got this together, how they became teammates. Uh 31 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: was it like six years ago? So Skill goes to 32 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: Fox one, and you know, he's basically the pioneer, you know, 33 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: the one that plans to flag. Uh. He's the first 34 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: one on the network. Him and Colin Coward, they put 35 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: the network on their backs. So you gotta respect them, 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: and you also gotta pay him. They got paid pay pay. Um. 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: I don't know real numbers, but I heard like six 38 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: million or something in that world back then. Okay, so 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: now you got Shannon sharpoo used to do his thing 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: as well on major networks, major shows. But at the time, 41 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it was cracking. It is now so 42 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: in that dynamic, who had the upper hand. You know 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: whose locker room was it? It was Skips Duck in 44 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: terms what the network felt, and you know Shannon knew 45 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: as well, getting where you fit in. But Shannon, man, 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: he blew up so fast with this, uh, this whole UNC, 47 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, UNC Shannon and the Hennessey and the black mind, 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Even though I've never seen Shannon drink, 49 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: I've never seen Shannon smoke. Doesn't mean he doesn't. Just 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: means that. Uh, that was intentional in terms of leaning 51 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: into persona and cats have personas like Stephen A is 52 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: quiet in real life, not on their You know, Shannon 53 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: doesn't drink and smoke, I don't think. But on air, 54 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: you know he dragged on that black anyway. It worked, 55 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: whether you say, oh, Shannon sharp, you lean into your blackness, 56 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: leaning into uh, the drank. It worked, seriously. It worked 57 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: to get a lot more in terms of entertainment value, 58 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: a lot more clicks, a lot more likes, views, read tweets. 59 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: He became more popular. But y'all remember how this show 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: also got built Skip Bayless leaving Stephen a Smith Stephen 61 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: a Smith picking up Max Kellerman my boy right, who 62 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: I used to work with, So it's almost like you 63 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: got this built in rivalry even though all parties aren't rivals. 64 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: You got Max, who has got no problem with Shannon 65 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: sharp right, But since stephen A and Skip used to 66 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: do it together now they're doing it separately, their partners 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: are always gonna be raided based on that lens. So 68 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: then stephen A hit some rough patches with Max. Meanwhile 69 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: skipping Shannon are steadily improving, steadily getting better, steadily starting 70 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: to peek, and then stephen A pulls out that wild 71 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: card and you know, forces Max off the show basically uh, 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: and then everyone was like, the show is gonna be doomed. 73 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: That's bad. Y'all should have worked that out, and being real, 74 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: they should have worked it out. Max is too down 75 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: smart and funny when he is being Max, but in 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: that position with steven A, he couldn't be himself, so 77 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: therefore you couldn't get the balance that I think Max possesses. Anyway, 78 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: you fast forward, they get rid of Max, and the 79 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: show actually does better. Present day, the show is doing 80 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: better without Max. Not blaming Max, but it's better because 81 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: they got all these other cats who are sitting there 82 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: poking at Stephen Ay and even making Stephen they laugh 83 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: at himself. I get it, it worked, but skipping shading 84 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: right now, There's been a better version of them before. 85 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: Why is this part of it? Is they changed the 86 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: lineup and starting off with the Carton Show, which is, 87 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: to quote a Fox executive, horrible. I mean, they don't 88 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: get any ratings off that show. I think the show 89 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: was dry. I don't know him. I didn't know him 90 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: before I watched it. A couple of times. I was like, man, 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's like they're filming in the cardboard cardboard box, 92 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: like they try to put other people in there. Obviously 93 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Damian Woody were supposed to be there. Uh. They whispered 94 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: that show to me, but uh, I can't sell me 95 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: dreams anymore, y'all. So basically I look at that show 96 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, and that's the show. That's the tone setter, 97 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: Like in football, that's the kickoff team. You set the 98 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: tone with that show. And since that show is not rating, 99 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: every other show is suffering in the ratings compared to before. 100 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: Now here's the beef, So you gotta skip whose fits 101 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: certain type of way because obviously he sees his boy 102 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: stephen A Smith, who used to be second fiddle to 103 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: Skip in his mind because he put stephen A on right, 104 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: He's like, damn he here winning now, how is he winning? 105 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: Why is he winning? Well? In part because he got 106 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: a partner change. He switched it up, m So you 107 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: know he's sitting there sitting on that one, but you 108 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: can't switch it up in terms of what Shannon Sharp 109 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: is bringing now because Shannon's on fire. Not only that, 110 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: but Club Sha is popular as well. He got a 111 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: podcast on fire, and you know, you got a superstar 112 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: as a co host. So you're sitting there wrestling with that. 113 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: But you're like, that can't be the answer. So what 114 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: can be the answer? Stephen A is popping off, having 115 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: all these different cats coming in here, bringing different energy 116 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: and really leaning leaning into the theater. So I'm thinking 117 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: Skip is like, all right, justly, maybe consciously, it's time 118 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: to start leaning it into the Shenanigans. It's time to start, 119 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, putting a little more hot sauce on these 120 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: topics instead of the normal. So that one, to me, 121 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: I think, was like this subconscious contrive version of less 122 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: extra from Skips perspective, from Shannon's perspectively, like dog, it's 123 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: one thing to talk about a player. It's one thing 124 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: to talk about a topic, but don't bring that player 125 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: that topic to me in comparison, because the first thing 126 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: I wanna do is flip it on you. Me compared 127 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: to you. We ain't talking in football, are because there's 128 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: no comparison, Skip, do you need to play football? So 129 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: all right, you took that one off the board. Oh 130 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: and you know Shannon wanted to go there too, in 131 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: terms of, oh, who are we right now in terms 132 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: of this talk game, because Shannon got a great argument 133 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: like yo, Skip, your better days behind you, and then 134 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: Shannon is like, yo, not only was our baller, but 135 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm close and Skipped in that moment, I think when 136 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: they were arguing back and forth and put your glasses 137 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: back on, that was the flex that wasn't a Skip 138 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: was trying to remind Shannon how he got here, no 139 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: matter where he is, maybe he surpassed him. Don't forget 140 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: the bridge you crossed to get here, multiple times, trying 141 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: to poke at Skip, trying to figure out if Skip 142 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: would even do the show with Shannon. This is going 143 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: way back and even when Shannon's contract was up last time. 144 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: Y'all can get your google on if y'all don't remember, Uh, 145 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: they had to play the race card. It seems like 146 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: the negotiations, well, Shannon Sharp get the same amount of 147 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: money as White Skip Bayless. Y'all remember those headlines, and 148 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: usually those come from the camp of whoever's gonna benefit, right, 149 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: So Shannon's camp typically would leak that, like, yo, I 150 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: can't get half a Skip if I'm half. If I'm 151 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm as good as him on the show, i gotta 152 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: get all he gets because I'm as good as he is. 153 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if it came from Shannon's camp or not, 154 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: but basically it worked. Then he was up again, and 155 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: there was conversation internally about is this gonna work or not? 156 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you skip, you're looking 157 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: at the rating cats. You know, you're talking about the superstars. 158 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: They got to have the numbers to support that their superstars. 159 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: Was it smart to buck the system and try and 160 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: change it up like stephen A did with Max and 161 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: then having everybody else going there. But that was a conversation. 162 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm just letting y'all know, just telling y'all what I 163 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: know so now that history played out in beef right 164 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: before eyes, I was dying laughing. I know, y'all wor 165 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: that was funny. It was funny because let's say Skip 166 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't have went there. I know where Skip was going to, 167 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: but you still shouldn't go there. Like it's one thing 168 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: to have the right to do something, but it's also 169 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: do what you're right and doing. You got the right 170 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: to do it, but it's wrong to do it. Keept 171 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: trying to basically say, Shannon, you jealous of Brady because 172 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: Brady better than you. But Skip forgot you're the one 173 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: that is saying this, and Shadow he's not jealous of Skips. 174 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: So shantning like dog, you know, I get your message, 175 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: but I'm about to check the messenger with the hell 176 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: you're talking about. We're talking football, or were talking it 177 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: is broadcasting and in both respects Shannon feeling like not 178 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: only done football, but in broadcasting. He feeling like, yo, 179 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: I can flex on you, Skip, and I thought Skip 180 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: was just wrong for doing it that way, or just 181 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: be clear, like look, compare you to him. Come on, man, 182 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: and it's some of your anger or some of your 183 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: pushback just because he's somebody you're not and if that's 184 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: your real partner, you're real homie. Obviously, Shannon Gonna responded 185 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: that properly and be like, dude, I'm not in here 186 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: trying to rank myself against these other dudes are already qualified. 187 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: You know you're talking about it's crazy, man. But I 188 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: was like, why is Shannon falling for this other than 189 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: obviously the theatrics and entertainment value, Like, is he really 190 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: feeling it's in falling for this? But I think he 191 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: fell forward because they're falling into ratings in terms of 192 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: trying to keep Pacewood first taken, stephen A and the 193 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: carouself characters he's bringing on there, man, So sometimes they 194 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: gotta put that hot sauce on it. I get it. 195 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: But from Shannon's perspective, he knows don't compare Skip Bayliss 196 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: to him on the football field, But since they were 197 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: sitting at that desk those suits on broadcasting, it's a 198 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: different game. And I think Skip was trying to remind 199 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: Shannon that the only reason you in this game, or 200 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: at least on this team in this game right now, 201 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: is because of me flex in it. And I think 202 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: Shannon wanted to remind him, was like, well, you messed up, 203 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: because not only am I on the team, but right now, 204 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: say what you want about our ratings or whatever it 205 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: may be. I'm looking like the m v P. That's 206 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: exactly what we all beef on display. Well, another beef 207 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: on display right now is what's happening on social media. 208 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: And it's a beef between father and son Masterpean Romeo 209 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: and I'm trying my damn. It's not to call him 210 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Little Romeo, but it's gonna happen. But man, they're playing 211 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: this out for the world to see. Now everybody's like 212 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: mad at that. That's like level one. Oh man, y'all 213 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: should keep this private. Man, they can't keep much private. 214 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: They can't keep their real private. They've lived their life 215 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: on full display for the public to see. So I 216 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: get the fact that this is also something that's gonna 217 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: be for us to devour publicly. It's sad, but it's 218 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: the reality. So you know, you can't fight that reality. 219 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: Because someone's taking a shot at you for the world 220 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: to see. You're gonna sit there in private and trying 221 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: to correct them, and then they take another shot for 222 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: the world to see. So it's not about right or 223 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: wrongs in that situation, it's just you know, returning fire. Basically, 224 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: you fight fire with fire, and the way that they're 225 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: fighting right now, let's just break it down first. Let's 226 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: get to them why they really got an issue. Romeo's 227 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: hurt and I get his pain because look, your parents 228 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: were together for twenty four years. They get divorced. It's 229 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: kind of a messy divorce, because every divorce is messy, 230 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: but this is messier because the world gets to judge it. 231 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Mama's own drugs and alcohol related. All this kind of 232 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: conversation talk about about mama. Mama ends up suing you, 233 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: saying you're a pond for your dad to hide assets 234 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: and all you want to do is make your mama proud. 235 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: Now here you go, not only are they getting divorce, 236 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: but you're getting sued by your own damn mama, whoa 237 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: and being real you you just lost your mom and 238 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: dad in terms of that union. And I don't care 239 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: what age you are. If your parents get divorced, it hurts. 240 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: You can say, oh, oh, it's all good, I get life, yeah, 241 00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: but it always hurts when your heroes become human and 242 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: we get we get to see their flaws, right, you 243 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: get to see how frail they are and worse, the slander, 244 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: the back and forth, the negativity. Like as a kid, 245 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: even as an adult who has parents that are together, 246 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: you want to hold up that image. Man, that image 247 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: is inspirational. It gives you strength. My parents, that union, 248 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: and when that goes away, Jesus, you start looking at 249 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: life a lot differently, especially when you talk about a 250 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: Romeo who just had his own kid, or think now 251 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: is in his thirties. You know I'll be calling a 252 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: little Romeo that'll do my age. Damn there, and a 253 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: lot is happening at once. He lost his sister, parents divorced, 254 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: you have your own kids. Look how you're looking at 255 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: life differently? Now, this isn't the born on third base. 256 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: And I say that with all due respect because my 257 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: kids are born on third base and the goal of 258 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: any parents have your kids born on third base. This 259 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: whole narrative like, oh, it's bad that you're boring on 260 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Only think could be worse is 261 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: that you know the fact that you're not born on 262 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: third base, the fact that I wanted my kids to 263 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: be born on home plate. We'll work on work ethic 264 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: and hunger and dedication determination. But we're gonna do it 265 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: with the score up, not to score down. But Romeo 266 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:24,479 Speaker 1: had a he had a privileged life. Good for him, 267 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: and how did he get that privileged life? I think 268 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: what's absent from this conversation right now is the gratitude 269 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: for that privileged life his daddy, who I love um. 270 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: In terms of persona, I have a public affinity for 271 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: master p Y because he came from nothing, became something, 272 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: and more importantly did it in a positive way in 273 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: terms of not attacking other rappers and all that. He's 274 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: just bet on himself and his content worked. Simple was 275 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: that I love master p for betting on himself. Remember 276 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: the whole Jimmy Iveen story of Ah Jimmy. I've been 277 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: trying to give him one million dollars for seven albums, 278 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: and Master People was like, damn, if he's offering me 279 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: one million, how much am I really worth? You? Boll 280 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: He was special different how much of my really worth 281 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: if he's offered me a million? Obviously, you bet on 282 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: himself and he was worth two three million, depends on 283 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: what report you read. Basically that bet worked out. But 284 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: I think when you're a kid growing up in that dynamic, 285 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: you don't have the full appreciation for Pops because it 286 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: is flipped upside down compared to most of your peers, 287 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: compared to most kids. Think about this, like I grew up. 288 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: My dad was a postal clerk postal employee. Both my 289 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: parents worked in the post office. My mom carried the mail, 290 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: my dad was sitting inside as like a supervisor clerk 291 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: process in the mail. You imagine that that's how you 292 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: grow up. Your goal is to not walking your dad's 293 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: shoes or mom's shoes like mine was. It was to 294 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: stand on their shoulders so I can do more. I 295 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: could do greater. Why because I have access to more, 296 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: I know more, I know what you guys have been through. 297 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to stand on your shoulders, not just walking 298 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: your shoes. But that's not the same for Romeo as 299 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: it was for me and most other people. Because your 300 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: daddy not only can't you walk in his shoes, you 301 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: can't fit his shoes because your dad is master pte. 302 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: So what do you do? You sit there with envy, 303 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: with jealousy, Yes, I said, jealousy towards your own success 304 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: in your own father. Because Pops when you wanted to 305 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: shoot the rock with daddy and you're eight years old. Oh, 306 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: where Pops at on the road? Oh, when you want 307 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: to sit down and just talk about what happened at 308 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: school today? Where's Pops at having another concert? When you 309 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: want to sit there and just say, you know what, 310 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: Daddy lets wrestle? Where is he in studio? So as 311 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: much as you are living the privileged life, if you 312 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: really want to find find too, cone this conversation and 313 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: really look at the details, there's some resentment in that. 314 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: So you're you're growing up, loving life, becoming who you 315 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: can become, and you got your own fan base. You 316 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: are Romeo independent of Dad. You have your own fan base, 317 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: but you still got that resentment. And that resentment plays 318 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: out even more so when your parents get divorced and 319 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: all that negativity and the union is broken and your 320 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: hero is now a human both sides, Mom and Dad. 321 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: That resentment shows up because you have your own kid. Now, 322 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: the purest image of love is having a kid. It's 323 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: the closest you feel like God. Not only is this 324 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: your creation, you're the creator. You feel like you're God. 325 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: The God in you has manifested to create something a 326 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: potentially greater version of yourself. That's the goal, that's the dream. 327 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: And when you look at life through that lens, it's 328 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: so pure that now you start to address things that 329 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: aren't so pure, like your relationship with your father. And 330 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: this is something that can save Romeo right now, because 331 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: save this generation right now, because it's different in this 332 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: generation than the way we grew up. Bring the word 333 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: honor back to the conversation in terms of relationships, especially 334 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: when you talk about moms, fathers, and kids. We were raised. 335 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: I was raised that you had to honor your parents. 336 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: What does that mean? It basically means you have to 337 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: be this exaggerated optimists towards your parents. You just can't 338 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: sit there and read your parents their rights. You can't 339 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: sit there and undress your parents. You can't sit there 340 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: and perfectly critique your parents positively and negatively. You can't. 341 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: You gotta skew it, you gotta slant it towards the positive. 342 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: That's what honor is. Everyone has their flaws. That's why 343 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: honor is so important. We're not gonna hype up their flaws. 344 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: We're not going to exaggerate their flaws. We're not even 345 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: gonna really pay too much attention to the flaws, because 346 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: there's so much to them that we should honor that 347 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: is positive. This generation has lost that. So Romeo in 348 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: this situation thinks it's his duty to close the gap 349 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: between the public image of master P and his persona 350 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: and what Romeo really knows about his daddy. Now, that's 351 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: what's wrong, not that you're talking through this on social media, 352 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: even though I'm not a fan of it, not mad 353 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: at it, because you guys have done everything it seems 354 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: like for the world to see. What I'm mad at 355 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: is that you're trying to close this gap between what 356 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: we think of you and your family and what the 357 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: real is. Young Man, you've been misled if you think 358 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: we give a damn like that, Like we don't want 359 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: to know. Oh, daddy came in and he was drinking, 360 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: Daddy came in with smoking, or daddy came in with 361 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: other ladies, like whatever you're gonna say. And I'm making 362 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: all that up even though it didn't. It did happen 363 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: towards his mom in terms of the divorce. They said 364 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: that she was drinking, she was doing drugs, et cetera. 365 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: That resentment is making him. Now I wanna bring out 366 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: the worst and his father for us to see. I 367 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: don't like that. And I also don't like the fact 368 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: that Romeo in this situation because of his pain, because 369 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: he's so hurt, because he's so emotional right now, it's 370 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: really trying to do something towards his father that no 371 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: son should ever do, not only dishonor him, but disrespect 372 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: him for us for what You won't be able to 373 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: balance this equation out just based on what fans think, 374 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: likes and retweets and follows. We're not gonna uh heal 375 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: that hole in your heart, bro, your dad? Can you 376 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: can by talking about why you have that pain that 377 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: no matter how much syrup was poured on your life, 378 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: you still didn't feel the love that you felt you deserved. 379 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: And you feel that now and you're addressing it now 380 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: because you feel that love you have for your family, 381 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: You have that love for your child, and you're now 382 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: comparing it to how you were raised and how you felt. 383 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Your father couldn't tackle all demons. He couldn't cure all 384 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: the generational curses you guys were going through. He tackled 385 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the poverty one, he tackled the low ambition, and he 386 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: tackled the highest them he wanted for his family. He 387 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: tackled so many demons for you. But you have on 388 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: your list your receipts the ones he didn't. Maybe that 389 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: was on you, Maybe that is for you. That's why 390 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to walk in the shoes of your parents. 391 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to walk in the shoes of your ancestors. 392 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: You're supposed to stand on their shoulders to see more, 393 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: to do more, to access more. Right now, Romeo needs 394 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: to access his inner power to heal, because I think 395 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: once he heals, he'll realize and it will reveal itself 396 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: to him that Dad did a lot, not only a lot, 397 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: but more than that was expected. And turn now redirect 398 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: his pain at Dad because he won the divorce, are 399 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: because he has the bigger name, or because he lied 400 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: on Mama, whatever that is. The answer is not gonna 401 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: be on social media play it out that way. But 402 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: that's just gonna be level one of this conversation. The 403 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: real level, the deepest level, the most painful level, is 404 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: not gonna come from a poem to you, to your fans, 405 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: to your followers. It's gonna come from a heart to heart, 406 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: man to man father to son. H I know his pain, though. 407 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: Let me just let me be real because I could, 408 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: as they say, you know, impress you with my success 409 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: or I can impact you with my scars, and I 410 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: love to leave with my scars. So let me talk 411 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: about my issues with my father because we've had some 412 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: dust ups, especially of late. Right now we have a 413 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: little issue because, um, I always wanted my dad to 414 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: say thank you. And I don't mean with his words 415 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: because he's always said it with his words. I'm in 416 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: with his actions. Like you've done so much, I want 417 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: to thank you for just being and on top of that, 418 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: for all the things you've done for me. But what 419 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: usually happens, like little Romeo is going through, is they 420 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: keep adding to the list of things since you've done 421 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: so much that you can do. Did y'all catch that 422 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: you've done so much that they keep adding to the 423 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: list of things you should do for them. And you're 424 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: sitting there like, no matter how successful I am, no 425 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: matter how much I've done, do you know how much 426 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: I need? And I'm the one who's made this happen 427 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: in terms of I'm the one who gets the receipts. 428 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm the one who has to put in the work. 429 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: I'm the one who has to make this all happened. 430 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: What do you need? Why does that supersede what I need? 431 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: And I know that tugger war emotionally. That's why I'm 432 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: not mad at Romeo. I just want him to understand. 433 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: Stop adding to that list, because it's gonna be painful 434 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: when Dad can't check every one of those boxes. And 435 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: it's painful for me when I can't check every one 436 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: of those boxes for my father because he keeps adding 437 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: to that list.

I used 498 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: to crack up. He caught me like that one time 499 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: in Vegas. I was like, oh, this is new. I 500 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: M gonna have to try this one never but um, 501 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: I noticed a lot of cats do that now, like 502 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: what's up? And they put that arm out. Well, that 503 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: security guard did that to Clipper Daryl, like bro I 504 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: just told you and Clipper Darryl. I don't know what 505 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: he had in his hand. It looked like a bag 506 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: and like you know, a fish fry, like carton a 507 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: container like something to eat. Swung his arm up with 508 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: the bag, knocked the dude's arm off him. May have 509 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: hit the dude. I don't know. I ain't gonna get 510 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: technical with all this in the age and size. When 511 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: people do that, like, if you disrespect me, don't give 512 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: a damn how old you are unless you're not an adult. 513 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: If you're an adult, you count. And I don't give 514 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: a damn your little are big. If you assault or 515 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: touch or get in my private space, personal space, you count. 516 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: So in this moment, Clipper Darrow is old as he 517 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: is with his old ass, and as you know, lovable 518 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,959 Speaker 1: and likable he is. He did swing the dude's arm 519 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: off him as the dude braced his arm on him. So, okay, 520 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: nobody's winning this one right now, this is all bad. 521 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: But when he did it, what he told that security 522 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: dude is not only am I not listening to you, 523 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: don't put your hands on me, and I'm not gonna 524 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: respect what your job is. I'm Clipper Daryl. You're just 525 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: this security ren a cop dude. Now, this is where 526 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: the dude went wrong. He knocked Clipper Darryl out. I 527 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: think there's levels to how he could have handled this 528 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: situation without going nitrous extreme I'm gonna knock his ass out. 529 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: He could have went to the level of let me 530 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: put him in ahead lock, let me hold him him, 531 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: let me sandwich him. Let me, let me tackle him, 532 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do. Let me just push him back 533 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: one more time. But Clipper Derrol did already swing that dude, 534 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: so like he probably thinking we passed the push pushing part, 535 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of like you know when Jordan Pool was at 536 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: it with Draymond, Like you know that push part, like 537 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: you remember Jordan's food pushed Draymond. They say, don't pull 538 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: it out if you unless you want to use it. Well, 539 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: that's the same thing. When you push somebody, don't push 540 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: him unless you're ready to throw. And he threw all 541 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: of them. Hell and a maker. That was wrong. That 542 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: was excessive use of force. Not because his age and 543 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: his size, is because you could have escalated to that point, 544 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: like take baby steps to doing that. But boy, everybody 545 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: hit me like I was gonna defend Clipper Dale. But 546 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: I saw I saw some wrong in Clipper Derrl. I 547 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: saw the fact that dog, why you trying to go 548 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: there so damn bad. And if you are supposed to 549 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: go there, have the proper credentials or even if you 550 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: don't have all that, but you just know killing with kindness, 551 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, Manytimes, I get somewhere just because people don't 552 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: even recognize me. But I'm like, yo, you know it 553 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: ain't gonna kill you, is it. You know what I'm saying, 554 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: look out for people like you know, use the honey, 555 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: not the vinegar, especially when you know you you barking 556 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: up that tree and that tree may fall on you. 557 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: I saw that happen before, and it happened same place basically. 558 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: Remember when Nipsey Hustle knocked out the security guard. I 559 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: don't know if he knocked him out, but he hit 560 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: his aunt and happened at Downtown l A live same spot. 561 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: Entitlement as well. I think Nipsey wanted to move the 562 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: cone and do it. Was like, you can't go this 563 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: way with your car and the cone and just slap them. 564 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: And I know that security guard actually that hurt. That 565 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: was a little homie. I was like, damn. But this 566 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: entitlement empowers you, and it's like a social capital. We 567 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: all all have it. You go back to your old 568 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: high school and they don't let you in the gym 569 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: because you ain't buy a ticket and they ran out 570 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: of tickets or something. It's sold out. You know what 571 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna do. You're about to lean on security. You're 572 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: about to lean on the cafeteria lady who's working the 573 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: front door. You're gonna be leaning. Oh, man, I'm sad. 574 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: I'm sad man because my boy hit Clipper girl talk 575 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: about leaning had I'm snoozing out there, sad, sad, sad. 576 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: You don't want to switch gears and talk about something 577 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't get mentioned a lot. It's the love hate 578 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: relationship that happens between the starter and backup. And what's 579 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: making me think about this is Mike White and Zach Wilson. Yeah. 580 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: This fun the dynamic of when you know you you're 581 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: talking out of both sides of your mouth. I love 582 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: you and I hate you. I hope you played well. 583 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: I hope you suck. You got to do it. And 584 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: I was a backup for my first three years, so obviously, uh, 585 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: it was a little easier when you are a rookie 586 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: or a young player and I'm behind Bruce Smith, I'm 587 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: behind Phiel Handsome. Yeah. I mean even I and my 588 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: wildest dreams didn't think I deserve to start. But when 589 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: you think you deserve to start, Oh, it's a different animal. 590 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: You out there rooting against this dude. Basically, your mindset 591 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 1: and equation is I hope the team wins and he sucks, 592 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: and Mike White can't lie. You ain't got to lie, Craig, 593 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: because I know you feel that way, and in that game, 594 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. Almost damn it right, You're like, 595 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: come on, Jets win, Zack sucked, Zach didn't suck. He's 596 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: just I don't know if he kept his job. I 597 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: don't know if he got his job back. I should 598 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: even say, because Mike White is sitting there like, uh no, sir, 599 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: not you. Because when you get a chance to while 600 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: he piped somebody, when you get a chance to go 601 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: out there is to back up and then take over. 602 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: You can't let that go. And that's why my wife 603 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: was like, a damn it, can I get another m r? 604 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: Can some doctor cleared me? He went to late They 605 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: said ten twelve doctors to get cleared. Because you're like, 606 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: I got the momentum, I got the team believing in me. 607 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson making all these stupid mistakes and saying stupid 608 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: stuff like, oh, it's not on me that the team 609 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: play bad, it's on y'all. And did you let the 610 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: team down, Zach Wilson. Nope, he didn't learn this that 611 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 1: when you win, it's we, and when you lose, it's me. 612 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: Just say that or call everyone out individually, particularly specifically 613 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: with names and numbers. If you're not gonna go to 614 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: that point, you bet a lot of kick it. Simple 615 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: was that. So this is a situation where I I've 616 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: lived through it. When you're sitting there, like I used 617 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: to watch Bruce schoo out there and I used to 618 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: be like, damn, I don't want them to get hurt, 619 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: but I just don't want them to play that much. 620 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: I just don't want him to play this many reps. 621 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't root against how good he was. 622 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: It was just insane. Like God would have looked at 623 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: me like, dog, that's a dumb prayer. What you doing? 624 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: Bruce smithic on ball? So I was like, damn, well, 625 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: you gotta play so much. But in this situation, gonna 626 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: be fun to see how their friendship plays out, because 627 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: all these friendships are really typically associations like we played 628 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: together in the same room together, where quarterbacks together on 629 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: the same team, Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah blah blah. I'm 630 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: gonna say all the right things, y'all know, the real 631 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: that one of these dudes get traded, then you're gonna 632 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: have one of those that you know, real interviews candy 633 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: look inside the mind and the relationship, and then they'll 634 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: tell the truth. Then, well, I'm here to tell the truth. Now. 635 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: I want to talk about something that is painful, but 636 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: I gotta be truthful about it, be real about it. 637 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: And I saw the suicide, Ah that happened with DJ 638 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: Twitch and Wow talking about a guy who was loved 639 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: um as I'm sure many of you listeners have dealt with, 640 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: unfortunately suicide in the family and suicide in your community. 641 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: Um I dealt with it a couple of different times, 642 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: and just want to talk a little bit about this, 643 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: this situation. And there seems to be a similarity between 644 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: what Twitch was in personna and Junior say O, my 645 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: late great teammate rest in peace in his persona. They 646 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: both look like to the extreme, positive, right to the extreme, 647 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: not just normal happy, not normal kindness to the extreme. 648 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: And I remember privately questioning at times, could JR. Ever 649 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: say no, what a burden he must have been carrying 650 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 1: in a life where you present yourself as always so positive, 651 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: Could you ever say no? Could you ever be negative? 652 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: Could you ever show that balance that's necessary to just 653 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: be a human being? Because you don't. You don't get 654 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: balanced right, You don't get balanced naturally. You gotta attain it, 655 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 1: you gotta work for it. And the balance I'm talking 656 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 1: about is being able to show a different side of 657 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: yourself and it's still being who you really are and 658 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: people receiving it. I ain't see that with Junior, and 659 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe his closer friends did, but the 660 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: persona I didn't. And I was like, damn, you imagine 661 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: being a guy who grows up in one locale. So 662 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: he grew up in southern California, San Diego area, Oceanside 663 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: and all that. Then you go to school right up 664 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: the street. Then you play pro right back here. You imagine, 665 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: I mean times you run into your third grade homey 666 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: who needs two tickets, your fifth grade homie who needs 667 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 1: to go to your restaurant and get camped, your cousins 668 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: from everywhere. Goodness, I think I asked family. I used 669 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: to always sit there. I was like, man, and Junior 670 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: always ran first to the party to be the light 671 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: of the party. And I was like, does he ever 672 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: demn that? And it's okay to them that because if 673 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: not that extreme display of positivity, that extreme display of 674 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: behavior can rig your processor to be extreme in other 675 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: ways when things aren't going so well, when things aren't right, 676 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: when you have to do with real life burdens and 677 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: experiences who need that balance. That's a word I'm talking 678 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: about right now. And I don't know Twitch, and I 679 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 1: don't want to guess about what he was really dealing with. 680 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: But imagine that e emotional tsunami that comes to all 681 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: of us at times, and how that could be exaggerated 682 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: if your processor takes it to the extreme. So we 683 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,280 Speaker 1: saw a public display of Junior and Twitch, always positive, Twitch, 684 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: always dancing, people said, always smiling, always trying to give 685 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: to you. I saw the same thing with JR. And 686 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: I wonder when it all comes rushing and it's not positive, 687 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: it's not all good, how they deal with that, how 688 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: they process that. Had a conversation with Dr Child, who 689 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: was a great friend of Junior, much closer than I um, 690 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: and we talked about that that when it gets dark, 691 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: that they fall into the abyss more than maybe the 692 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: average person or someone who's healthier mentally, who has a 693 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: greater perspective or balance, who really is. Even in darkness, 694 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: is just a perspective shift, and you sometimes it's easily 695 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: can just turn the lights on, or maybe it's more 696 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: difficult than that, but you can start a fire anyway 697 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: it goes. You know there's a way out of it, 698 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: because there was a way into that. I just want 699 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: to talk about this, even though I know it's a 700 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: touchy subject, and you know, God bless the dead. But 701 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,959 Speaker 1: just a healthy respect and a healthy relationship with yourself 702 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: everyone out there, because you know, people could have a persona, 703 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: they could have an image, they could have all of 704 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: their posts making you think this, but without that balance, 705 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: be reserved guys in terms of judgment and reach out 706 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: more so than anything before it's too late m hmm 707 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: speaking of something that whoa that is too late to 708 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: cats out the bag? Y'all hear RG three? Set h 709 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: This was interesting. I saw it. What did he say 710 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: on air? Try to say bugga boo, end up saying 711 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: jiggaboo boy. People went crazy, uh and it was layered 712 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: And it was bad that it was r G three 713 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: because I think it was a mishap. I think it 714 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 1: was a mistake, honest mistake whatever that means. You know, 715 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: like I said, not necessarily words. I don't remember a 716 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: word that I've said or a phrase that I said. 717 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I didn't mean that. Sometimes I 718 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: just didn't know what it was. He knows the difference 719 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: between the jigaboo and the buggaboo. So it's not that 720 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: I've never I've never confused it. Two Now, I have 721 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 1: said things that weren't properly articulated concise, like I meant 722 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: something different, but not the phrasing, the gist of it, 723 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,720 Speaker 1: not a word, the gist of it. You get the difference. 724 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh, I didn't mean to say 725 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: they were bad, but it came him out like I 726 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: said they were bad, but I never called him out 727 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: of their words in terms of term or phrase. This 728 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: reminds me of remember Mike Greenberg said, Martin Luther Coon 729 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: day or something like that. Remember that. I think it's 730 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,280 Speaker 1: the same thing. Like if you try to say King 731 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 1: and Junior too fast, too soon, you ain't don't necessarily 732 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: say coon, but you're gonna get close, go get hella close. 733 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 1: And you know our word count. We talk so much, 734 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: so often and sometimes so fast, that we become unprofessional 735 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: and unprofessional means slow your hands down and say exactly 736 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: what you mean. You're getting paid to do that. You 737 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: got one job, not to throw the football anymore. R 738 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: G three is just just say what you really mean. 739 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: I have one job to say what I really mean. 740 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: So I've never done what they've done, but I have 741 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,439 Speaker 1: done something that has been misleading in terms of where 742 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to go. I didn't take my audience with me, 743 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: So I understand it. But this one has a little 744 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: more to it, or to it. We all know r 745 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: G three is married to a white woman, which comes up. 746 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: It seems like as often as how great he is 747 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 1: or was and playing football and how fast he was, 748 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: and how great a broadcaster he's become, right, they always 749 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, as soon as they give him 750 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: his flowers, he better watch out for the thorns. Because 751 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: every time you talk about RG three, it seems like 752 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: here we go. Um now, people are like insert that 753 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: into the conversation. Marcella's is there more to it in 754 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 1: terms of him saying jiggaboo instead of buggaboo? First of all, 755 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: why the hell are you trying to say buggaboo? Like 756 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: all the pools in this world? In terms of phrasing 757 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: bugga ball like they ain't even the right way to 758 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: use it, let alone cool to use and say. But 759 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about the race element. Did that play a 760 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: part in it? Oh, he's so comfortable with her, and 761 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: when he had the d laws, you know, it goes 762 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: down and you know he's just loose with the tongue. 763 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: I feel dirty even saying that. Yeah, silly, yah know, 764 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: damn well, it ain't that, because if it was that, 765 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: then every single damn near black announcer, at least the 766 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: ones I know, we'll be saying the N word up 767 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: there because they he loosed with that, and somehow, some 768 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: way they are able to keep that one tucked in, right. 769 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: I think r G three could tuck it in if 770 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: he did have those racial thoughts in his head. So 771 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,879 Speaker 1: I didn't go with that play. I mean, sometimes it's 772 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: just so convenient, the narrative so convenient is just like 773 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: we can run with it. Yeah, y'all can run with it. 774 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: Just don't run that way because I think that's wrong. 775 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 1: Let's talk about something that's wrong. I mean, I hate 776 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: to judge a book by his cover, or judge a 777 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:54,879 Speaker 1: man by his police arrest record and statement. But Mary 778 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: Stottmyer no dog. Reports come out that he got a 779 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:05,280 Speaker 1: rested release for punching his daughter and the jaw whipping 780 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 1: his kids. I don't know right from wrong, real from 781 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,439 Speaker 1: faith on this one, but I'm gonna talk through this 782 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: situation because it takes me back to how I was 783 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: raised and how I'm raising my kids. I was raised, 784 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: obviously in a different era like you guys who I 785 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: think our parents thought. Discipline was Oh, you mess up, 786 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: You're about to catch hell, so you don't mess up again. 787 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: And when I mean hell, I mean literal fahrenheit hell, 788 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: I mean Dante's Inferno. I got. I got spankings with 789 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: the hand, the belt, the leather belt, the belt buckle, 790 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,919 Speaker 1: m extension cords, which were the worst to me that 791 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 1: uh and this horse with my grandmother had oh oh 792 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: God with three little like tweed prongs on the end 793 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: that used to go, I mean seriously like some I 794 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: don't know she got that from slavery or what that 795 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: ship hurt um. Yeah. And I didn't make a vow 796 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 1: to myself that I would not discipline my kids physically 797 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: like I was disciplined, because frankly, I saw some of 798 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: the rewards like when you got that horse whipper, you 799 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: got the extent. Of course, she remember when I used 800 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: to play with fire. I was a piro, I will 801 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: say pyro. I used to My mom used to go 802 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: buy some some papper towels and put them in the cabinet. 803 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,280 Speaker 1: We don't have a pantry, Damn. We were broke cabinet right, 804 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: and I grabbed the whole row, the whole role plastic included, 805 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: throw it in the sink and light it on fire 806 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: and wind in the sink. Because I had the water 807 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: right there, I could douse it out right, get rid 808 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: of it. Man, one time it was hard to get 809 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 1: rid of all. Right, Now that's fire. I'm in trouble. 810 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: And I put it out finally, but the smell the fire, 811 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 1: the towel flames just flying through the house. Whoa. And 812 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 1: it was one of those whippings where go to my 813 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 1: room and you're sitting in there. I think I sat 814 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: in there for like two or three hours, and what 815 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 1: are they say? The anticipation of death is worse than 816 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: death itself. The three hours I got so many whippings 817 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: in my head for those three hours. And then she 818 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: came in for real and put it on me, here's 819 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: the point. Did I play with fire after that? Nah? 820 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,720 Speaker 1: Did not. So you know, I grew up thinking it works, 821 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: it's a good turn. But then I have my kids 822 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, nah, I can't do it. Why Frankly, 823 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't want my kids thinking that physical violence is 824 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: an answer. I know it's sometimes a means to a 825 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: greater end, Right, you want to get to somewhere, and 826 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 1: you ran out options and it becomes one of the 827 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: means is going to whip somebody asks. But your kids, 828 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 1: I don't want them to think that. I don't want 829 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: them to go to that hoster for that weapon physical violence, 830 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: because I don't even like my kids to yell. I'm like, 831 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: when you're yelling, Like even when I catch myself yelling 832 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: or ramping up, amping up, I'm like, I'm losing my voice. 833 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,280 Speaker 1: That's why I'm yelling. You catch it like I'm yelling 834 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 1: because my voice feels minimized frustration. So now I'm gonna 835 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 1: yell because obviously at a normal level, it's not being respected. 836 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,320 Speaker 1: So I always want my kids to stay even in conversations, 837 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of people say I do more than not, 838 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: and I do. I know I do, but still who 839 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: couldn't be better at something? So I used to always 840 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: think about, don't be the one that lets them think 841 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 1: that one of their tools is yelling. Another one of 842 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: their tools is not fighting physical violence. I don't want 843 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 1: to introduce it to them because they're gonna think that's 844 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 1: a vice, that's the way to do it. M hmm. 845 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: But I also respect when I've read and heard that 846 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: discipline punishment has to be appropriate and if you don't 847 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 1: get the proper response, you have to ramp up the discipline. 848 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: And that may include physical flicking of the finger right 849 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: or maybe you gotta smack him on the butt open handed, 850 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: But I don't think it includes hitting him in the jaw, 851 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,240 Speaker 1: if that's what happened according to these reports, Abouba, Marius 852 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: Stodemeyer and his daughter m I know, I didn't mean 853 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: it like, oh, you can hit your son. I'm in dactor, 854 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 1: like you created her whatever she's gonna do. Whatever she 855 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 1: said in response, Hey, it came in part from you, 856 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: and it came to you. Handle it differently, because now 857 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,800 Speaker 1: not only is she hurt, and whoa, you're talking about 858 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: the crumbling of an image. If you're Dad Cocks, you 859 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: upside the jaw. What's the recovery for that. I'm not 860 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: talking about the jaw, I'm talking about the break. What's 861 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: the recovery for that? But in the name of discipline, 862 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,879 Speaker 1: I do understand there are levels to it. I just 863 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: don't know that level the level of I'm about the 864 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: cold cock, my daughter, and with an explanation, with a justification, 865 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,439 Speaker 1: I can't justify that one big dog, if it's real 866 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: something that I saw this weekend, I know you guys 867 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: saw it too. We can't justify how that Patriot game 868 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,280 Speaker 1: ended for the Patriots. You'll see that, Jesus. The laterals, 869 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 1: the Stanford band laterals, like they instead of just saying, hey, 870 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: let's go over time, we gotta tie, let's play this out. Nah, 871 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna go for it all And what was that 872 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers threw it back in the air. The first 873 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 1: thing I thought about, because I'm haid a lot of 874 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: football obviously, is no matter who you are, if you're 875 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 1: not a quarterback, throwing the football is like the hardest 876 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 1: thing to do in a football game. And we see 877 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: it all the time with like you know, half that 878 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: passes and wide receiver screen passes and double passes like damn, 879 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 1: I thought the dude was a pro. Why are you 880 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: throwing it like a balloon. It is hard to throw 881 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 1: a football in a game. I say that, that's why 882 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks have the hardest job. They say, right, But 883 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,839 Speaker 1: that play just reminded me so much will Bill Belichick 884 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: represents and preaches against. You know, it's funny because Bill 885 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,879 Speaker 1: Belichick used to always say more games are lost than 886 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,959 Speaker 1: one in the NFL. More games are lost than one 887 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I remember when I first heard that, 888 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 1: when I was playing like damn Belichick a beast for 889 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: even saying that. Well, you know what's crazy. Now he 890 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: has zip it a right there on his roster in 891 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 1: his film session. They lost that game. They lost that game, 892 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 1: not the Raiders want wanted. Not the Raiders went out 893 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 1: there and beat them up. They lost that game from 894 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: that play, one play right there, speaking of one player, 895 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, my man, one play right. I hated football 896 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: for this reason. It's so fickle, so fickle. Ain't no 897 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 1: love coming back from football. Yeah, you eat what you killed, 898 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: and there's a meritocracy. If you ball out, you're gonna 899 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,280 Speaker 1: get respect. But it's fickle, like the three little pigs 900 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: like football is built on sand bro It's like one 901 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:49,319 Speaker 1: play away Kyler Murray out for the year, third play 902 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 1: of the game that nobody touched him. Now done. In 903 00:53:54,840 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 1: those moments, you feel so defeated because you're like, how 904 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: did this happen? Like you just keep asking yourself, how 905 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: did this happen? I'm big, fast, strong, in shape, been 906 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: working out, just just a routine play. Why and how 907 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 1: did this happen? Why to me? And how right now? 908 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: And it makes you just feel like you gotta climb 909 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,920 Speaker 1: that mountain again with the fear and I mean a 910 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: full fledged fear that you're gonna get knocked down again 911 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: another injury. Yeah, I mean we're seeing this all across 912 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 1: the league in terms of guys who get hurt and 913 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: coming back. Do they return back to their normal form, 914 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: to their prior form. You can look at it and say, 915 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,760 Speaker 1: is that guy gonna be the same the trust issues 916 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: you have with your body and your mind in terms 917 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 1: of getting after it, Like Kyla Murray style of play 918 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: is you know, it's Mickey Mouse in the phone booth. 919 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 1: It's like I got you know, it's just running around 920 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,360 Speaker 1: Tasmanian devil style. Right, that's a lot of trust, because 921 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 1: that is a lot of moving parts in terms of 922 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm still a quarterback traditional stay in the pocket, I 923 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 1: can still run outside the pocket. Then I have this 924 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: X factor, this next level element where I could just 925 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 1: how athletes you guys, Is he gonna get back to 926 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: all those levels and phases of his game? Is the 927 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,759 Speaker 1: conversation I want to know. That's interesting to see if 928 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna return back to Kyler Murray, mighty mouse himself. 929 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 1: It's time to get into some quick hitter. Quit us, 930 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 1: let's do it. Mike Leach rest in peace, dies of 931 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,439 Speaker 1: a heart attack at sixty one. Whoo. Mike Leach put 932 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 1: his fingerprint on football. Funny guy, innovative, obviously offensive guru 933 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,439 Speaker 1: as well, just a guy that you had to notice, right, 934 00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 1: Just a guy that you just had to respect for 935 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: his brilliant mind. I mean it could have been a 936 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,719 Speaker 1: stand up comedian it seemed like too, as well as 937 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,839 Speaker 1: just a great football coach. Much respect for him. It's 938 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: hard to play football when you got heart, heartache and 939 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 1: heartbreak like that too, So to all his players out there, 940 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 1: I understand the pain because I remember my mom passed 941 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: away when I was in Dallas and the last thing 942 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 1: I wanted to do is pass rush. The last thing 943 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to do is make a tackle. Some of 944 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: y'all gonna sit back and push back and say that's 945 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 1: the last thing you did too, because you didn't play 946 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: well at Dallas. Oh man, I'm I'm keen levity. I 947 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,359 Speaker 1: always got to bring some lightness, some laughter too, even 948 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: the most painful of things, because I laugh at my pain. 949 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 1: That's how I just processed things. But that heartache is real. 950 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 1: My mom when she told me she had breast cancer, 951 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,839 Speaker 1: and I was sitting there like, Okay, where do I 952 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: put this in this world in terms of how I'm 953 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 1: approaching things? How do you use this as motivation? You can't. 954 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean every time you say, yeah, I'm gonna do 955 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 1: it for mama, you also sit there and say what 956 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 1: am I doing this for? Like much more important things 957 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,799 Speaker 1: in this world, many more important things going on in 958 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 1: this world than just that. So in that respect, I 959 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 1: feel those players pain. I feel their pain. Let's go 960 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: back to New England concussion. Remember the Patriots game had 961 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: a concussion. Teammates had a call of time out. Why 962 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 1: because the independent doctor wasn't paying attention. Why because the 963 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: coaching staff wasn't paying attention, or they all were paying attention, 964 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 1: but their hearts are not in this, y'all. Can y'all 965 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 1: stop lying to yourself, stop making this a story. When 966 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 1: someone gets concussed, not only is the player sitting there like, oh, 967 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to lose playing time, this player's safety, 968 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: y'all going too far, but institutionally like everyone is sitting 969 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 1: there like I want to address the problem with players 970 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 1: safety and fix the problem if that's a possibility of 971 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: player safety. But the reality is, my heart's ain't in. 972 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: My heart's not in this. Why is it your heart 973 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: in it? Because you want the best players to play. 974 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 1: There are competing interests in this conversation, and you know 975 00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 1: who usually wins out the bottom line and whoever contributes 976 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 1: to it. So in this situation, when these incidents happen 977 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: like what twa and we saw it with the Patriots game, 978 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 1: whenever somebody gets concussing, you're like, how come you then 979 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 1: see what I saw? Because I turned the blind eye 980 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: blind eyes because I didn't want to see it. My 981 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 1: heart wasn't in seeing that. And somebody y'all try to 982 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,919 Speaker 1: clown saying it's hard wasn't playing a basketball James Harden, 983 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: who's having a good year, y'all, said his heart wasn't 984 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: then playing basketball. He's a quitter for wanting to get 985 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: traded and actually getting traded from Brooklyn. But then James 986 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: Harden brought some attention to that conversation lately and saying, 987 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: but y'all don't think k D is a quitter for 988 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: asking for a trade. Y'all, don't call him a quitter 989 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:02,960 Speaker 1: from one out of there. Keep us aime energy, you know, toomato. 990 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: Tomato's good for the goose. James Harden got a point, y'all. 991 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this is when your reputation precedes you, because 992 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: one thing you can't question about KD is his commitment 993 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: to basketball. He's a surest. So because of that, whenever 994 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 1: there's a basketball pure conversation, you're never gonna question his dedication, 995 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: his motivation. Sorry, James Harden. Whether it's sometimes we see 996 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 1: you and there's more to James Harden than not in 997 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 1: terms of the scale and pounds and how big it gets, 998 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 1: or sometimes it's more to it, it seems like in 999 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 1: terms of his effort up and down the court, his 1000 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: reputation proceeding them. So when you could attach something to 1001 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 1: a narrative or to a conversation about his lack of dedication, 1002 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna run with that. James. So I get what 1003 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 1: you're saying, and I'm glad you brought it up because 1004 00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 1: it was real on on the surface. It will is 1005 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: a real conversation to have. But going deeper, k D 1006 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: is always gonna get the benefit of the doubt. Why 1007 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: because that's just who k D is. So who didn't 1008 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt? Did you guys see 1009 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: Clinton Portis on the pivot? Yeah, the pivot with my 1010 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 1: dog fred t shout out to Freddie Taylor, fred Tangy 1011 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 1: Tang Tang Taylor, my teammate, my boy Ryan Clark. Respect 1012 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 1: People think I don't like Ryan Clark. I actually do. 1013 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 1: We just have had differences, beefs, public beefs, disagreements, whatever 1014 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,959 Speaker 1: you may be. But I'm the type. I'm the type 1015 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: that walk it off. Y'all know I don't fight, so 1016 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk it off, right And in that situation, 1017 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Clark. Nothing beloved for Ryan Clark, even though I 1018 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 1: will beef with him again, probably because uh, he's a collectiveness. 1019 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 1: He likes he likes the group people and group things 1020 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,920 Speaker 1: together and I don't. So whenever we get into one 1021 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: of those conversations, typically about race, it is what it is. 1022 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: But I love him. I love of Freddy T and 1023 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: like Freddy too. He's a big difference. Ain't gonna loe 1024 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 1: of y'all um, and then my boy chatting and it's hilarious. 1025 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 1: He is fun need. But they had Clinton Porters on there, 1026 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 1: and it was interesting. Clinton Porter's breaking down why he 1027 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 1: got caught up and falsely accused if I'm not putting 1028 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 1: words in his mouth of the scam against the player 1029 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: health benefits in the NFL, NFL p A. And I 1030 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 1: watched the interview and I was like, interesting, he made 1031 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 1: a great case for himself, probably a greater case for 1032 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 1: himself on the pivot than he did in the courtroom 1033 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 1: because he would have got off on that one. I 1034 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 1: had reasonable doubt. Seriously, cpter homie too. I haven't seen 1035 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: him in forever, but respect. But my only question is, 1036 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,680 Speaker 1: like everybody, when someone gets quote unquote falsely accused, why 1037 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 1: you ne other than me you're guilty? It just makes 1038 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: me always say, but why are you? And they went 1039 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: there with him basically they're like, why you He was 1040 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 1: the biggest fish they could fry and basically all these 1041 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 1: other guys who were caught up in this scandal, And 1042 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: I was like, is that good enough? Is that the 1043 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: reason why the FBI is on your tail because you 1044 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: were the biggest fish. I'm interested in seeing what y'all 1045 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 1: think of this one more than anything, because I just 1046 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 1: was like, Clinton, he paid the guy, the guy did 1047 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,360 Speaker 1: some work for him, He returned the money, but still 1048 01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 1: had to do six months. Why Clinton, Porters, I'm gonna 1049 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 1: need a little more than that one. I'm gonna need 1050 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: y'all help on that one. But I was just sitting 1051 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,960 Speaker 1: there at the end of the interview still saying why 1052 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: why you CP? Why nobody else in that respect? Oh, 1053 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: let's talk about why nobody else? This is a transition 1054 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,440 Speaker 1: talking about walking in someone's shoes and then the shoes 1055 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:06,080 Speaker 1: are too small or too big. Imagine walking in Lebron 1056 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: James's shoes and having to be Brownie James who played 1057 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:13,200 Speaker 1: against Carmelo's son recently, and those shoes they have to 1058 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 1: feel goodness. See, everybody has their own trials and tribulations, 1059 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 1: even guys born on third base or home based home 1060 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 1: plate uh, because Brownie James shout out to him. I 1061 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: don't even know him, but shout out to him for 1062 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 1: handling it this well at this younger age so far. Goodness, 1063 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 1: it's something that James blood that they can handle some success. 1064 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 1: And you know, he goes to Sierra Canyon and my 1065 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 1: neighbors actually run Sierra Canyon. Yep. Jim and Dina, those 1066 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,439 Speaker 1: are the neighbors and they're the heads of school there, 1067 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:57,200 Speaker 1: as I hear from everyone respect to them. And this 1068 01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 1: kid has to be a fourth superstar because of his talents, 1069 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: because of his family's name, and because of his ambitions 1070 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 1: at this young age. And it's crazy to see not 1071 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: only him, but the second generation. I love it so much. Oh, 1072 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for my son to be second generation football player, 1073 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 1: not really basketball player, uh uh, second generation broadcaster, not 1074 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: really whatever you want to do, poet, but just second 1075 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: generation success. Whatever success looks like to you. To me, 1076 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: success is close your eyes, close your eyes and think 1077 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,439 Speaker 1: of something you want to become. Now, open your eyes 1078 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 1: and make that a reality. That success to me, I 1079 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 1: want my son, I want all my kids to be 1080 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,400 Speaker 1: second generation success.

Ain't omanual, no handbook, And then 1110 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: people who have it, who've been through this experience, who 1111 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 1: was supposed to be your comfort, supposed to be your 1112 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: support system.

Don't make a video that's gonna 1116 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,480 Speaker 1: get you fired about the people that you're not even 1117 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: talking to and working with. All kinds of stupid happened 1118 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 1: in that moment. Speaking of happening and and stupid. What 1119 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 1: is going on in Atlanta with the Falcons? M hmm, yeah, 1120 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: this is stupid. UM, I don't know what to call it, 1121 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 1: but Marcus Mariota gets bents and then all of a 1122 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: sudden needs a knee surgery, the old bench bench, a 1123 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:41,160 Speaker 1: rout to switch, a rude bench, a rou um my knee. 1124 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 1: You know, the need that I have not been on 1125 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 1: the injury report for, and the need that just been 1126 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,960 Speaker 1: really tearing me up all year. But I fought through 1127 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,560 Speaker 1: it into you know what. Oh, I'm not playing anymore. 1128 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:53,640 Speaker 1: I'm out. Let me go get this surgery. I think 1129 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: it's stupid because Mariota is really cashing all his chips 1130 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,439 Speaker 1: in when he's still got some hands to play. If 1131 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Mariota was smart, keep your reputation pristine right now, because 1132 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna have to lean on when it 1133 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: comes to the next opportunity. Not necessarily you played this 1134 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 1: year because it was pretty bad. I ain't gonna lie, 1135 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,639 Speaker 1: you know it. And I think he puts so much 1136 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: on this season because this was his resurrection Mariota to 1137 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the Falcons and then resurrect himself, and when it didn't 1138 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: work out, he thinks it's all over. Well, it's really 1139 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna be based on how you play it right now 1140 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 1: if it's all over, because I think you gotta play. 1141 01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: I think you could go somewhere once again, tuck your tail, 1142 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 1: be a backup and let people know you're still a 1143 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 1: great locker room presence. You still support the team, and 1144 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 1: I still got something to contribute if I'm on the field. Now, 1145 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: that last part sounds like a lie to a lot 1146 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 1: of people. But I thought Mariota played for a minute there, right, 1147 01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 1: But the numbers don't support it fully. That said, don't 1148 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 1: throw out the baby with the bath water, and all 1149 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden have people questioning your character or you 1150 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,040 Speaker 1: quit on us? Uh, how are you gonna get another 1151 01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,719 Speaker 1: job if you're quitting on this one? That's the problem. 1152 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 1: And something going on in Atlanta because cast be tapping 1153 01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:19,479 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Remember when Calvin really tapped, He tapped it and 1154 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 1: and claimed it was mental health. I ain't believe that one. 1155 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 1: And who am I I know here? I can hear 1156 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 1: y'all know. Oh how you to sit there and judge somebody? 1157 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 1: Didn you just talk about suicide? I said, the dude 1158 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 1: has struggles on the field, and it turned into struggles mentally. Yeah, 1159 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,120 Speaker 1: but mental health is not just as that you're struggling 1160 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 1: through things. Mental health, it's just like physical health in 1161 01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 1: some respects. You gotta put in the work you gotta 1162 01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: get in the gym. You gotta get into the mental 1163 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: gym and get stronger. That year, what do you have, 1164 01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 1: like five games or so, and he became the number 1165 01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,640 Speaker 1: one wide receiver. Y'all tell me if all these are coincidences? 1166 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 1: Five games, bad numbers? Now you're the number one? Is 1167 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,600 Speaker 1: that are the number two? Julio Jones gone, it's on you. 1168 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,840 Speaker 1: You're struggling. You just tap and say it was mental health. 1169 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 1: That cover I talked to I talked through things, and 1170 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: I talked to things, and that sounded like one. And 1171 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, I ain't even tripping 1172 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,680 Speaker 1: on the gambling part. I thought that was weird. He 1173 01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,800 Speaker 1: wasn't on the team at the time and all that, 1174 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,360 Speaker 1: and then he bets and but you can't compromise the 1175 01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 1: integrity of the game. You can't compromise the image of 1176 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 1: the integrity of the game. But when it came to 1177 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 1: him tapping, I was like, yeah, it's a cover. It's 1178 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,840 Speaker 1: obviously something that you can't really talk through with people. 1179 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: I can because I'm not scared of the reaction, but 1180 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be a reaction. And I was like, 1181 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,400 Speaker 1: if someone's not physically prepared, we talked through it. We 1182 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: we questioned their injury, requestioned their toughness, but with mental health, 1183 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:05,800 Speaker 1: we don't because we automatically think the consequences suicide or 1184 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,640 Speaker 1: or something of that nature close to it. And I'm like, 1185 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 1: they're gonna harm themselves. I'm like, the only way we're 1186 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,960 Speaker 1: really going to address this issue is to address this 1187 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:22,000 Speaker 1: issue and separate the real from the fake and have 1188 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:27,360 Speaker 1: the conversation and also have the individual explain themselves and 1189 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,640 Speaker 1: have the individual do what they're supposed to do in 1190 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:36,360 Speaker 1: terms of personal responsibility for their own health, physical and mental. 1191 01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:41,760 Speaker 1: I thought that one was a little convenient in terms 1192 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 1: of the mental health play at that moment. But who 1193 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: am I. I'm on the outside looking in. That's why 1194 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm just speaking from this outside perspective. Y'all. See TA 1195 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:59,200 Speaker 1: try to give his uh last speech to the h 1196 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 1: b c U S. Jackson State. Try to give that 1197 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,599 Speaker 1: speech where he takes the high road and usually and 1198 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,439 Speaker 1: I know this because I'm guilty of this right now 1199 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 1: in terms of why I left Fox, and you know 1200 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,719 Speaker 1: all the conversations I'm having about what I'm doing next, 1201 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to take high roads. You sound confusing. This 1202 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:21,720 Speaker 1: hell when you take the high road and try to 1203 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,400 Speaker 1: talk to somebody because they're like, huh that on that up? 1204 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 1: What let you talk about? Man? And that's what Dion 1205 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 1: is right now in terms of that last speech sounds 1206 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 1: a little confusing, oh man. Like it was the art 1207 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,320 Speaker 1: of saying something while saying nothing because he doesn't want 1208 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: to out people, and I respect him for doing it. 1209 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 1: He's like dogs, if I flame Broyal these foods, it'll 1210 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,559 Speaker 1: be a rap. I think Jackson Stake gonna be bad 1211 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 1: without me. Whoa Let me put this torch on them 1212 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: and see what happens. So Dion just basically doesn't want 1213 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,000 Speaker 1: to let everybody know. Yo, it was bad there, y'all. 1214 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we already know the resources are not there, 1215 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 1: like a power five. We already know the budgets are 1216 01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,080 Speaker 1: not there, the supports not there. They stole EON's jewelry. 1217 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:08,280 Speaker 1: He historic who still coaches chain? I would have left 1218 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,760 Speaker 1: that day.

But Dion is 1220 01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,599 Speaker 1: trying to take the high road. He owes no one anything, 1221 01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:23,040 Speaker 1: He owes nobody anything. Be thankful, show gratitude. So I'll 1222 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,759 Speaker 1: be on like Romeo. It's be grateful with the position 1223 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,760 Speaker 1: he puts you in.

You've been special, and if 1273 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:26,640 Speaker 1: our team is gonna make it all the way and 1274 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,920 Speaker 1: win it all, you have to be special. See how 1275 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,880 Speaker 1: he wakes up to that or how he goes to 1276 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 1: bed to that in the playoffs.

Hopefully perty could keep being 1280 01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,679 Speaker 1: perty out there let's stay in the Bay Area because 1281 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,639 Speaker 1: they're out there bowing. Elon Musk. When Dave Chappelle performed, 1282 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,920 Speaker 1: I saw that, Can y'all not be so captain obvious? 1283 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:59,639 Speaker 1: San Francisco? Hey, Elon mustnao. It reminds me of two things. One, 1284 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,919 Speaker 1: when people see me in real life, I never get booed. 1285 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 1: I never get clowned, like personally like to me in 1286 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,080 Speaker 1: an audience like what he did. Yeah, Elan knows when 1287 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,120 Speaker 1: you get in front of people and they're against you, 1288 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: the way they showed respect, the way they show their 1289 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 1: love for you, their respect for you. If they're against you, 1290 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: is they boo you. It's the best compliment in the world. 1291 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 1: If you're on enemy territory, it's the best compliment. And 1292 01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 1: it's crazy because of our politics right now, Elon Musk, 1293 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:35,880 Speaker 1: going to San Francisco is enemy territory. Oh man, I'm 1294 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 1: gonna make a change in that. But I mean, if 1295 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 1: y'all really want to do some apathy is the worst response. 1296 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: When people don't trip on you, when they don't care 1297 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,120 Speaker 1: about you and they're like whatever, whatever, give a damn 1298 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 1: about you? That hurts the most. And I remember when 1299 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 1: I was bawling and then I come out the tunnel, 1300 01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:04,639 Speaker 1: they do the player introductions whatever on the road, like, yeah, 1301 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,479 Speaker 1: better respect me, better put money on this, homy, you 1302 01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 1: better love me. But then there are also times like 1303 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,120 Speaker 1: when I was falling off at the end. Now come out, 1304 01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,080 Speaker 1: they say my name. I can hear the hot dog 1305 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:25,479 Speaker 1: man up there talking. Ain't give it down whatever, And 1306 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: that felt worse than booze. So hey, stan Fran, y'all 1307 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,679 Speaker 1: really want Ellen to fill it? Shut up, don't say anything. 1308 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Lakers one more time.

Here's a question. I'm wondering if you're on 1353 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,639 Speaker 1: quote unquote high atis because you were too honest about 1354 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,920 Speaker 1: a certain quarterback that has several accusations against him. I 1355 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 1: agree with you when you said it what you said, 1356 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,679 Speaker 1: But next thing, I know, you're gone. Asked that dude. 1357 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:25,559 Speaker 1: Hash tag mischief. Hm hmmm. I'll take you all inside 1358 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:30,400 Speaker 1: my dome because I've said some controversial things and it's 1359 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,679 Speaker 1: weird because y'all know me. I don't do clickbait because 1360 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 1: if I did, oh my god, I'd be so super 1361 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 1: super duper uber famous because I know what the clicks are. 1362 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 1: I know what to get your clicking. But I don't 1363 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,679 Speaker 1: do that. I stand on my own and I say 1364 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: things that I believe, And sometimes I say things that 1365 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 1: I believe that we don't agree up on. We don't believe, 1366 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 1: but I do, So I'm gonna say it. Y'all know 1367 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 1: what they are. One of them was Deshaun Watson. You know, 1368 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 1: I thought he was up for no freak. I've been there, 1369 01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: not to the extent where he did, But have I 1370 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 1: messed with my massage therapist? Yeah? Oh yes, many of them, um, 1371 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 1: And a lot of times they started the conversations. They 1372 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:15,120 Speaker 1: initiated it. Sometimes it was me because they were fine. 1373 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,599 Speaker 1: Simple was that. But you gotta read the room, read 1374 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,720 Speaker 1: the social cues, and just know what the no is. 1375 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:22,800 Speaker 1: No means no. If there were a no said, but 1376 01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm about I'm not gonna legislate this one. 1377 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try this case again. But your question, 1378 01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,720 Speaker 1: did they have something to do with it? You know, 1379 01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:36,720 Speaker 1: these networks, they wanted our show to go lighter. They 1380 01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:38,360 Speaker 1: wanted to show to be different. They wanted to show 1381 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 1: to be what it is right now. I didn't want 1382 01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 1: to do that show. I saw it then and I 1383 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,639 Speaker 1: see it now. That's not for me, y'all, y'all, y'all 1384 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,880 Speaker 1: listening to this podcast way till my show comes out 1385 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,559 Speaker 1: next month. I think, y'all tell me if that's the 1386 01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 1: same and it's not a diss like, damn, don't we 1387 01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 1: could like two different things. So I think a lot 1388 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,120 Speaker 1: of times people think we had competing interests. Marcelos wants 1389 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,240 Speaker 1: to stay. No, we finished the sentence. I wanted to 1390 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,679 Speaker 1: stay doing what I was doing when I got there. 1391 01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: We already had started to get away from that, but 1392 01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: not too far. But yeah we did. We got away 1393 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,640 Speaker 1: from Whitlock and Marcellus to I chowing Marcellus, and that 1394 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 1: comes with a different set of standards, different reactions and expectations. 1395 01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 1: So lighter is I chose a talent dude. That dudes 1396 01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,720 Speaker 1: super talented. He's a word smith. He'll say something you'd 1397 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,760 Speaker 1: be like, damn, that was pretty doope, dope how you 1398 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:33,479 Speaker 1: said it? More importantly, he'll repeat himself three times so 1399 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:34,880 Speaker 1: you make sure you heard it. But I like that, 1400 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 1: like the dude is a beast man. Don't try and 1401 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,640 Speaker 1: put me in a position to say less. Here's the 1402 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 1: thing though, with him and with that situation. He has 1403 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,719 Speaker 1: a great relationship with Oprah because you know his book 1404 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 1: comes out on Oprah. I chow as a great relationship 1405 01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,559 Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson as well, and and David Mullaghetta. I 1406 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,280 Speaker 1: have a little relationship with David. It started off on beef, 1407 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:01,080 Speaker 1: like usually my relationships do, and then we talked through it. Um. 1408 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,639 Speaker 1: But I think if you add up what I said 1409 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:09,280 Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson, I think that's like if anything half 1410 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,320 Speaker 1: a percent nothing. But I did go against the grain, 1411 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,600 Speaker 1: Um what I said about Colin Kaepernick when against the 1412 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: grain to a greater degree. Black lives matter, um to 1413 01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:24,120 Speaker 1: a greater degree. And it's only because, let's be real, 1414 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 1: it's against the grain because I'm black, and I'm supposed 1415 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:29,439 Speaker 1: to say something else. I'm supposed to say what a says. 1416 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say what most people say. I don't agree, 1417 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, I speak for me, not we and me. 1418 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 1: Marcel Is thought different, and I explained myself, and I 1419 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 1: thought that you could either disagree with me or you 1420 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 1: could say you know what. That was food for thought 1421 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 1: or you can agree with me, but did that play 1422 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,280 Speaker 1: into my decision or did it play into their decision? 1423 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,559 Speaker 1: I'm certainly played into their decision, but to what degree 1424 01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 1: they probably like lighter means you know what, We don't 1425 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,400 Speaker 1: want to talk that heaven in it on. We don't 1426 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,639 Speaker 1: want to go against the grain like that, I'm sure, 1427 01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 1: because that's not good for branding, marketing sponsorship, which networks 1428 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,000 Speaker 1: are built on. It's good for me and my essence 1429 01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,719 Speaker 1: and my honesty, and I can look at my kids 1430 01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,920 Speaker 1: in the eyes and in the face and say, your 1431 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 1: daddy stands on his own principles. It's it's great around 1432 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 1: my house. It's not great at Fox or at the 1433 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,800 Speaker 1: network if you're sitting there going against the grain. But 1434 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm not the only one. I had huge amounts of 1435 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,960 Speaker 1: support for everything I've said. Maybe not upstairs, maybe not 1436 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,160 Speaker 1: at the network, maybe not with the sponsors, maybe not 1437 01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 1: with the brand, maybe not what an oprah. I tell 1438 01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:44,360 Speaker 1: you to get mad at me sometimes when I say stuff, 1439 01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 1: but I got mad at him sometimes when he's saying stuff. 1440 01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:48,679 Speaker 1: So I don't even know where to go with that. 1441 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,200 Speaker 1: It's crazy, but I do know where you're coming from. 1442 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 1: I do understand where you're coming from. But we didn't 1443 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:58,640 Speaker 1: have competing interests. We had diverging interests. I wanted to 1444 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,479 Speaker 1: do something different. I want to do what I'm doing now. 1445 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,679 Speaker 1: Plus I'm just starting to get there. And I don't 1446 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 1: think that would have played that relationship well in terms 1447 01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 1: of Fox and I in terms of chewing I and 1448 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,639 Speaker 1: I'm glad he's doing what he's doing, and I'm glad 1449 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,639 Speaker 1: I'm doing what I'm doing. Last one is a wily 1450 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,599 Speaker 1: ism with the nine hour podcast I'm doing. I've seen 1451 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot of popular podcasts like mine. Um, I was 1452 01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 1: doing forty fifty minutes. People were telling me, yeah, don't 1453 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,400 Speaker 1: go over forty nine minutes.

What is their plan? A know your opponent, 1468 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,200 Speaker 1: know what they want to do first and foremost, and 1469 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:19,200 Speaker 1: take that away.

We go 1473 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,519 Speaker 1: into it with our own my optic focus and just 1474 01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,600 Speaker 1: on us instead of what are they trying to do 1475 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:40,320 Speaker 1: to us? Right Like having an opponent's mindset, Not only 1476 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,240 Speaker 1: is that advantageous for you in turns to how you 1477 01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 1: should game plan what are they gonna try to do 1478 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,080 Speaker 1: to me? So I could be prepared, But more importantly, 1479 01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:53,840 Speaker 1: even yourself as life as a competition between you and yourself, 1480 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 1: game plan against yourself. It's not always you're going against 1481 01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 1: an opponent that's outside of you. It's not always you're 1482 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,200 Speaker 1: going to get some entity or thing that's outside of you. 1483 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you're going to get your own thoughts, your own demons, 1484 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 1: your own issues, right mm hmm. And if you want 1485 01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:14,439 Speaker 1: to break those generational curses, you want to break all 1486 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:19,639 Speaker 1: of those issues within yourself. Attack the strong ones, Attack 1487 01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:23,240 Speaker 1: the ones that really got their grip on you. Attack those. 1488 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Then when you get to the lesser ones, you already 1489 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 1: know the victory is yours.
