You know, there's been some child stars has 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.919 made that transition. You know, it's it's a good way 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.760 to start. It's it's a it's a blueprint out there 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.079 but you have to be careful because a lot of 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.079 those kids lose themselves and kind of go crazy out 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.920 the words, man, you know, and so you can do 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.640 a whole two hours show about you know, child stars. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.480 Have you seen him lately?

I mean, because you're talking about his movies 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.440 or classic he's only made like four of them, but 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.400 you know they they're still one of the greatest holiday movies. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.600 You know what we should we should probably do. We 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.840 probably talk about great holiday movies, man, because it's it's 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:33.079 starting to get that time. I'm all about the great 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.920 holiday movies. And you got to start with Chevy Chase 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.400 and um uh, National Lampoon's what is it Christmas? A? Yeah, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.160 that's definitely a good one. Then you gotta go Christmas Story. Okay, 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:47.840 that was that was a good one. But if you 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.960 want to get more, it's a wonderful life. If you 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.960 want to, you know, Christmas Eve, you know, you get 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.960 the family out and you watch it some wonderful life 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.000 and have a couple of tears with Jimmy Stewart. I 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.440 think I think I'm going to have a Christmas this year. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.080 I need to start a new tradition with the kids. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.040 You'll have the kids come over and you'll have people 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.200 come over and change the gift and drink some egg nog. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.480 Are you an egg drinker? I don't really like it, 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.400 not really, but if you still have me. But but 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.240 if you put you can thin it out with like 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.400 some some rum or some cone yak or something and 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.360 thin it out, you know what. I like to have 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.919 a drink of in the winter season, once it starts 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.320 getting a little cool. Yeah, go ahead, you look like 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.279 a cider guy. I would have sided with a little 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.000 rum or something. But I don't mind a nice brandy 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.040 once in a while. Yeah, I had brandy before. That's distinguished. Man. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.560 I feel like I need to put on like a 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:43.159 velvet smoker drink. And you usually don't have holiday parties 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.880 at the place, No, no, no, I really don't. Usually 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.160 usually have family members come in and like you know, 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.680 that's usually the day where dad comes in with the 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.840 step mom or mom comes in with the step dad 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.560 and we kind of do that, you know, they kind 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.800 of split holidays that way. But you know, I think 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.440 I need to start my own tradition here where the 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.080 kids and look forward to something and have like a 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.360 little social event and kind of get the understanding what 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.440 Christmas is all about it really, you know, it's it's 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.680 supposed to be Jesus birthday party, you know what I mean? 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.080 But so so often it's a season of giving here 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.080 because what I really like, you know, really to me, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.040 my favorite um holiday because it doesn't get all distorted 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.960 with you know, gifts and the jolly fat Man. It's 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.640 really Thanksgiving because we're only a couple of weeks away. 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.320 Yeah no, because Thanksgiving us all about sitting down with 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.640 your family, reflecting and being thankful. It's no, no, no, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.560 no gifts exchange. When you throw gifts into it, and 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.720 then now you you feel pressure like who do you 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.359 give gifts to? Like I am that person? I can't 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.640 stand it, and then I get blamed for all the 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.240 time is that you know you're not thoughtful and I 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.320 want to think I'm too thoughtful. At what point do 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.880 you stop? Like is it the third cousin is the 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.520 first sesse of Then you give him someone year and 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:54.800 you don't give it to him the next year. Like, 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.720 you know, you can't put yourself on the hook for 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.720 for the next ten fifteen years buying like cousins or 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.520 nieces something or the baby. Somebody had a baby. You 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.480 get them a gift for Christmas one year. Then now 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.280 they're expecting the gift every year. You look up. You 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.720 can be by gifts. I like gift certificates, I really do. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.520 And people say it's not thoughtful to me, it's you 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.240 can do anything you want. You know, you can go 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.520 to the store and pick out the water you want 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.080 or here, ever, my not few you want to hatch, 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.200 go pick the size you want. Instead of getting what 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.760 you think is cool from them, you don't know them. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.000 You never really know what somebody else is gonna want, 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.760 so you don't want to do that. You don't never 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.280 near that. People will get mad or take it to 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:43.159 take offense to you being like, oh, I appreciate your gifts, 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.480 but they didn't like the reaction. Yes, and then they 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.360 take it back and you wait for them to wear 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:49.920 the gift, and then they hurt your feelings because you 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.360 never see it. Or you go back and you're having 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.280 a turkey bowl they're playing in your sweater to keep 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.960 warm and treating like a piece of crap, like you know, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.000 so like you know, I'm for the gift certificates, but 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.960 I'm for like you know, for the kids, you know, 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.080 or my niece and nephews. Tell me what you want 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.000 and I'll get it if you earn it, you know 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.320 what I mean, and give it to them that way, 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.480 that way you can be happy, you know. So that's 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.200 just my my little take on all right one, thanks 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.400 for giving us a few weeks away. What are the 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.600 plans for the parts Scott family right now? Well, listen, 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.920 we're switching it up so we're not going to have 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.760 anybody come from out of town this year. We're gonna 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.840 keep it more intimate with just us and the kids. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.400 And what we're gonna do is because I have a 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.080 game that I have to you know, last year we 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.240 had you know, we got to we had the bad 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.640 luck of the draw. We we we got the short straw. 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.040 We had to go on I believe it like four 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.200 or five. So we got the middle game, which you 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.000 know pretty much you gotta be there early so then 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.160 you really don't get an opportunity and you end up 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.120 missing half of the day. I got back like a 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.880 ten o'clock, but we have the early game this this year, 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.160 I think the twelve o'clock game will be out by four. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.760 Who was playing I don't remember. It's always the Cowboys 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.560 and it's always either lines, but now they do a 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.760 third one for the late late game that usually on 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.840 NFL Network, so it's probably the Line versus somebody, and 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.760 then the Cowboys to use the fourth game. So I 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.640 bet you the Lions are the twelve o'clock game because 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.760 they always do that to the Lions. They get Allions 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.760 like the twelve o'clock game. So you know we're gonna 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.240 do that. But we're gonna stay in the city. So 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.320 wife is going to make the dinner. She's gonna make 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.720 the city because I'm already there. So we stay there 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.640 and then next day it's Black Friday. But what happens 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.160 is because we're staying there, I'm going to get a room, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.760 hopefully at the Peninsula, opposite of the room that we're 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.679 gonna stay in, because you know, we get a discount 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.200 at to London, so I can get a nice spot 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.160 at the London and be able to, uh, you know, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.319 let the kids run around in a nice, good suite 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.280 at the London but then get a room at the 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.520 Peninsula so the kids can be on Fifth Avenue when 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.240 the parade comes, so they can see the parade. So 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.920 they so Thursday morning, right, She's so Thursday morning, I'm 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.719 on the air. I gotta leave, but they can. You 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.320 have Minnesota in Detroit and that's one of those crossover 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.439 games like that, because that's not a typical but because 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.880 really is to use the NFC that does the Thanksgiving 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.800 games and start off as addition as Dallas and Detroit, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.360 so of course it has to be a cross over game. Um, 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.199 so the kids will be there for Thanksgiving Day parade. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.199 Have they ever done that before? They did it once, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.480 but it was bad because we're outside and it was cold. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.840 But now they can be they can go they can 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.319 go out the hotel and see if they want to 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:19.800 see a person, or they can go back in the 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.199 hotel and I'm giving them a view from Fifth Avenue 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.520 so they can watch from there. They literally can walk 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.400 to the window. They know how good they have it. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.000 My kids, they don't even respect Dad trying to go 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.760 on calling in favor like yo, I needed to Okay, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.079 I need the view so the kids can see and 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.520 just think if you go up high enough, the float 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.920 across right past your face, you know what I mean. 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.480 So you get a room like maybe six seventh floor, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.240 the floor will go right by the kid's face. Oh 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.400 my god, dostand reach out and shoot shot the spike 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.480 and bus. Now, when you were a kid, did you 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.040 ever watch the parade? You always watch the parade. That's 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.679 you watched the parade before before you before football starts. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.600 And then you go out. Sometimes in Detroit a lot 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.079 of times were growing up, it was snow outside. So 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.360 you go out. You have your turkey bowl. So you 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.120 go out, your neighborhood game. Neighborhood game. You put it, 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.959 You put on all the layers of clothes, be the 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.679 snow outside. You go play football. But when you're the 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.960 only guy in your neighborhood, when you're playing with twenty 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.080 guys who went on and play the National Football League. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.480 My point is, you're the mad backer, You're the nasty man. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.160 I don't want to play against you. You know, once 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.760 we're playing flank football, dude, you're you're on my team. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.240 I don't want to play. Think growing up, all my cousins, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.480 everybody's older than me. So like where I was, I 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.280 was the little kid that can play with the big kids. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.720 So like I really didn't intimidate the big kids because 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.679 you know, my cousins is six years older than me, 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.280 so like he's sixteen, I'm ten. You know what I'm saying. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.120 So I was a kid that catched the pass like 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.720 late where you know they slipping on me and hit 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.559 him with a little wiggle and make the catch. You know. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.160 I mean I ain't always been a defensive player. I 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.520 was a running back too, so I can get that rocking. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.280 You know. We just play pick him up, messing up. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.040 That's how I devel out my skills. So pick him 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.679 my mess him up? Was you throw a ball or 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.319 or you have to get past people? Right, So you 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.960 got one person, so let's pick him up up, Well, 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.679 pick my messim up something else. But we play an 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.199 other game, right, So you start. It's cool game. So 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.000 you start at the base. You have one person, that's it. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.320 So he called somebody out, right, he called somebody out. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.319 If that person gets past him, then the whole group 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.959 gets to run. Right. So the first person just you 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.000 and him one on one, and you chase, if you tag, 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.200 if you tackle him or you get him. Then now 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.959 he becomes a chaser with you. And what you do 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.199 is you call people out. But what happens is the 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.360 person that you called out they get to the touchdown. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.199 Then the whole group get the run. So now you 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.280 gotta try and catch one of a bunch of people. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.360 So it's like tackle tag and but you run straight 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.679 back and forth and you sit in the middle and 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.640 on the winth of the field. What I won, It 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.320 depends on what feel you in. Yeah, we're not talking 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.679 about a football field. We're talking about the parts abandoned 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.079 a lot and banning a lot. So like so you 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:07.199 can think maybe yards wide, you know, it was like, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.440 you know, my grandmother's lot was like twenty yards wide, 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:11.720 you know, I mean, so like it's a good space 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.640 and so so talking about while it was a great 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.720 open field tackle because I played that game growing up 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.199 all the time, and you start tacking other people. So 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.880 then now as running back to now the whole fillers 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.440 out there, you're the only one that's like maybe two 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.040 of you guys left. They call you you're dunking like 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:30.439 five safe? Were you hurting young guys out there? Hood game? Well, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.560 when when I played, like I started playing football, when 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.840 I was eight. So I mean, like all the tackle 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.920 and stuff I did as a kid would probably be 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.360 illegal because we just had this thing about we said 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.199 get meat, and meat was to paint off the other 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.160 person's helmet. And like every once in a while you 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.640 would see somebody cheating, they'll go over there, they'll be 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.560 hitting the hitting their helmet against the ground, or trying 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.480 to take somebody else helmet that's their buddy from a 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:58.599 different team. And all minds was earned. So you you 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.360 guys suited up when you're doing that. No, no, no, no, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.120 I'm talking about I'm just talking about growing up like 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.920 you talking about how it was as a kid, like 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.360 I was a head hunter. Like when you looked at me, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.000 I had streaks from every team like landon Wood night night, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.880 Like I wouldn't be allowed to play like Little League 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.240 no more. But they didn't call that back, And yeah 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.640 they did. That's what I'm saying. That's how the game 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.679 has changed. Like you were trying to not hit the 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.480 guy so hard that his paint rubs on your helmet, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.520 and you can tell. Even in high school, I always 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.000 had a bunch of meat, just straight gone. And the 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.600 best way to get meat is off that face Max 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.839 because face Master Guy got that rubber so it burns quick. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.079 But you get that meat off the top of the 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:34.679 helmet too. But then it shows you how far the 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.719 game has come. You ever take the kids back to 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.160 uh use, I imagine you still got family in Detroit, Michigan. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:42.880 Do you ever take them back to the to the 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.640 own neighborhood when you crew up? Act? That's the absolutely 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.800 My family still lives on that block and I still 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.679 have a lot of family there. Um, and you know, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.400 I have a picture that they haven't been back and 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.280 maybe two or three years with me like going there 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.319 and with their mom took them back. But um, we 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.360 should do this thing. Well last time we went back. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.600 I think my son is three now, so he was once. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.480 It was two years ago. Like I took him to 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.440 take a victory lap everyone every time I go home. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.520 Every time I go home, I take a victory lap. Um. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.560 So my high school football feelers named after me. Yeah, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.480 because you donated funds back there, No, No, I had, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.560 you know, I had nothing new fundy They changed it 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.440 to that before well well before before that, you know 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.920 basically just um just because where you would made it. Yeah, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.680 I became and you know, I've always been a member 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.360 of that community. Always came back to their name of 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.320 Statum for me because Will Goldson goes there was from there, 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.560 and Jonathan haikins, it's from there, you know what I mean. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.760 So you know, since then, there's been other guys that 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.040 made the victory lap means what I do a victory 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.600 lap for myself. So I come back. So it's weird. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.320 I do the same thing, right. I come back and 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:47.960 I go to this mall that I grew up in 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.200 and I get an order of nachos and hill Opinions 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.080 extra cheese. I sit down and I peached people watch 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.320 and I just watched people when I watched them going 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.920 through life, and you know, I see, I love why 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.640 and like the teenagers and the kids, and it puts 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:07.280 me in the mindset of that kid could be somebody special. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.560 That kids want to do this, that kid and everything 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.360 is available to that kid right now. He can be 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.560 with every one because I walked through the same hallway. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.040 So people watch. And then what I do is I 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.800 drive to my old neighborhood, um before I take my 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.400 victory lap, so my school is fed on with Fairview 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.440 street car Fairview and what I do is I lived 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.040 in between Charlotte will and Goalthy, the schools in between 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:35.000 Charlotte Wold and Gothy Right, So I drive up every street, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.880 so I go. So I make a right, go down, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.720 make a left, go to the next street, make a left, 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.720 go make a right, go down the next street. And 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.160 I go through this tied neighborhood. Then I go back 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.360 and come back and I get out and it's just me. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.600 Nobody else is around. And I did this every since 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.920 I was a player too, every time, and I go 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.800 back and I walk around that track, and I reflect 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.320 on how far I've come and where I've been, and 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.000 it puts me back and always put me back in 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.520 the mindset to come back wherever I was at, whether 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.200 I was in Baltimore, I was in New York, to 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.200 make those people proud in that neighborhood of what I've 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.240 become and what I represent because I represent them, I 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:19.720 represent hope, I represent um, change, I represent um, the 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.320 fact that you can dream. I defied the odes, and 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.600 I hope that I can inspire them to do the 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.160 same or to believe that they can. And it's weird 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.240 because and then in the last couple of years, I 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:36.120 can look to the left of my school, and you know, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.960 everybody can't be a football player. So I looked to 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.240 the left of my school and I see these projects 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.600 that's right across from my school. And I know the 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.920 Dage Loaf came out of there. So now people that's 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.880 involved in the arts can say, hey, maybe I can. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.720 She's a female that became a rapper. She's only like 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.360 twenty six maybe, and man, she came from this mess. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.080 And I always had this thing, you know that you know, 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.880 a ro Oles. I had this vision in my head, 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.080 and you know, I gave my I sold my life 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.440 story to uh Warner Brothers. They're on the rights to it. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.920 And me and my agent always laughed about what should 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.440 be on the cover, like no, no football picture or 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.560 something tough or anything like that. But we always had 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.720 this vision that, you know, if they ever make the 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.000 movie of a rolls growing out of a crack of 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.879 a broken sidewalk, you know, proven that something beautiful has 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.600 come from somewhere dark, you know, and you know that's 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.000 like my my whole dream, Like they make the movie 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.239 on the cover or the DVD or whatever. So how 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.280 do you go about how do you go about something 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.359 that Warner Brothers. Because I think you did that when 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.479 you were here. Whatever you finalize that when you were here. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:44.840 You just remind me, I gotta go get I gotta go. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.320 You just reminded me, like gate to Lisa Guy to remember. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.320 I had a writer following me around my first couple 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:55.680 of years. He called, he called my age. He said, 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.639 has a bunch of personal pictures of my family and 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.159 stuff and me growing up. I forgot I gotta get 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:00.680 that from. He asked me to get him out. What 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.520 is he doing? He was just a person that creative 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.399 like kind of helped write. But you know the movies. 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.159 You know, hell, they're still trying to make the Tupac 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.480 movie that that's been in the working for thirteen years, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.320 you know what I mean? So you never know, like 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.119 you know, but if they make it, they make it. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.879 If they don't, they don't. You know. I just keep 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.520 adding stuff to the movie because the more successful I become, 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.760
