Speaker 1: You know. You know, there's been some child stars has
Speaker 1: made that transition. You know, it's it's a good way
Speaker 1: to start. It's it's a it's a blueprint out there
Speaker 1: but you have to be careful because a lot of
Speaker 1: those kids lose themselves and kind of go crazy out
Speaker 1: the words, man, you know, and so you can do
Speaker 1: a whole two hours show about you know, child stars.
Speaker 1: Have you seen him lately? He's in trouble, right, He's
Speaker 1: one of those guys with the robots that Din of
Speaker 1: the Year Internet story right like that click here he's
Speaker 1: paid now. I mean, because you're talking about his movies
Speaker 1: or classic he's only made like four of them, but
Speaker 1: you know they they're still one of the greatest holiday movies.
Speaker 1: You know what we should we should probably do. We
Speaker 1: probably talk about great holiday movies, man, because it's it's
Speaker 1: starting to get that time. I'm all about the great
Speaker 1: holiday movies. And you got to start with Chevy Chase
Speaker 1: and um uh, National Lampoon's what is it Christmas? A? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's definitely a good one. Then you gotta go Christmas Story. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was that was a good one. But if you
Speaker 1: want to get more, it's a wonderful life. If you
Speaker 1: want to, you know, Christmas Eve, you know, you get
Speaker 1: the family out and you watch it some wonderful life
Speaker 1: and have a couple of tears with Jimmy Stewart. I
Speaker 1: think I think I'm going to have a Christmas this year.
Speaker 1: I need to start a new tradition with the kids.
Speaker 1: You'll have the kids come over and you'll have people
Speaker 1: come over and change the gift and drink some egg nog.
Speaker 1: Are you an egg drinker? I don't really like it,
Speaker 1: not really, but if you still have me. But but
Speaker 1: if you put you can thin it out with like
Speaker 1: some some rum or some cone yak or something and
Speaker 1: thin it out, you know what. I like to have
Speaker 1: a drink of in the winter season, once it starts
Speaker 1: getting a little cool. Yeah, go ahead, you look like
Speaker 1: a cider guy. I would have sided with a little
Speaker 1: rum or something. But I don't mind a nice brandy
Speaker 1: once in a while. Yeah, I had brandy before. That's distinguished. Man.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to put on like a
Speaker 1: velvet smoker drink. And you usually don't have holiday parties
Speaker 1: at the place, No, no, no, I really don't. Usually
Speaker 1: usually have family members come in and like you know,
Speaker 1: that's usually the day where dad comes in with the
Speaker 1: step mom or mom comes in with the step dad
Speaker 1: and we kind of do that, you know, they kind
Speaker 1: of split holidays that way. But you know, I think
Speaker 1: I need to start my own tradition here where the
Speaker 1: kids and look forward to something and have like a
Speaker 1: little social event and kind of get the understanding what
Speaker 1: Christmas is all about it really, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be Jesus birthday party, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: But so so often it's a season of giving here
Speaker 1: because what I really like, you know, really to me,
Speaker 1: my favorite um holiday because it doesn't get all distorted
Speaker 1: with you know, gifts and the jolly fat Man. It's
Speaker 1: really Thanksgiving because we're only a couple of weeks away.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, because Thanksgiving us all about sitting down with
Speaker 1: your family, reflecting and being thankful. It's no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no gifts exchange. When you throw gifts into it, and
Speaker 1: then now you you feel pressure like who do you
Speaker 1: give gifts to? Like I am that person? I can't
Speaker 1: stand it, and then I get blamed for all the
Speaker 1: time is that you know you're not thoughtful and I
Speaker 1: want to think I'm too thoughtful. At what point do
Speaker 1: you stop? Like is it the third cousin is the
Speaker 1: first sesse of Then you give him someone year and
Speaker 1: you don't give it to him the next year. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, you can't put yourself on the hook for
Speaker 1: for the next ten fifteen years buying like cousins or
Speaker 1: nieces something or the baby. Somebody had a baby. You
Speaker 1: get them a gift for Christmas one year. Then now
Speaker 1: they're expecting the gift every year. You look up. You
Speaker 1: can be by gifts. I like gift certificates, I really do.
Speaker 1: And people say it's not thoughtful to me, it's you
Speaker 1: can do anything you want. You know, you can go
Speaker 1: to the store and pick out the water you want
Speaker 1: or here, ever, my not few you want to hatch,
Speaker 1: go pick the size you want. Instead of getting what
Speaker 1: you think is cool from them, you don't know them.
Speaker 1: You never really know what somebody else is gonna want,
Speaker 1: so you don't want to do that. You don't never
Speaker 1: near that. People will get mad or take it to
Speaker 1: take offense to you being like, oh, I appreciate your gifts,
Speaker 1: but they didn't like the reaction. Yes, and then they
Speaker 1: take it back and you wait for them to wear
Speaker 1: the gift, and then they hurt your feelings because you
Speaker 1: never see it. Or you go back and you're having
Speaker 1: a turkey bowl they're playing in your sweater to keep
Speaker 1: warm and treating like a piece of crap, like you know,
Speaker 1: so like you know, I'm for the gift certificates, but
Speaker 1: I'm for like you know, for the kids, you know,
Speaker 1: or my niece and nephews. Tell me what you want
Speaker 1: and I'll get it if you earn it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and give it to them that way,
Speaker 1: that way you can be happy, you know. So that's
Speaker 1: just my my little take on all right one, thanks
Speaker 1: for giving us a few weeks away. What are the
Speaker 1: plans for the parts Scott family right now? Well, listen,
Speaker 1: we're switching it up so we're not going to have
Speaker 1: anybody come from out of town this year. We're gonna
Speaker 1: keep it more intimate with just us and the kids.
Speaker 1: And what we're gonna do is because I have a
Speaker 1: game that I have to you know, last year we
Speaker 1: had you know, we got to we had the bad
Speaker 1: luck of the draw. We we we got the short straw.
Speaker 1: We had to go on I believe it like four
Speaker 1: or five. So we got the middle game, which you
Speaker 1: know pretty much you gotta be there early so then
Speaker 1: you really don't get an opportunity and you end up
Speaker 1: missing half of the day. I got back like a
Speaker 1: ten o'clock, but we have the early game this this year,
Speaker 1: I think the twelve o'clock game will be out by four.
Speaker 1: Who was playing I don't remember. It's always the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and it's always either lines, but now they do a
Speaker 1: third one for the late late game that usually on
Speaker 1: NFL Network, so it's probably the Line versus somebody, and
Speaker 1: then the Cowboys to use the fourth game. So I
Speaker 1: bet you the Lions are the twelve o'clock game because
Speaker 1: they always do that to the Lions. They get Allions
Speaker 1: like the twelve o'clock game. So you know we're gonna
Speaker 1: do that. But we're gonna stay in the city. So
Speaker 1: wife is going to make the dinner. She's gonna make
Speaker 1: the city because I'm already there. So we stay there
Speaker 1: and then next day it's Black Friday. But what happens
Speaker 1: is because we're staying there, I'm going to get a room,
Speaker 1: hopefully at the Peninsula, opposite of the room that we're
Speaker 1: gonna stay in, because you know, we get a discount
Speaker 1: at to London, so I can get a nice spot
Speaker 1: at the London and be able to, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: let the kids run around in a nice, good suite
Speaker 1: at the London but then get a room at the
Speaker 1: Peninsula so the kids can be on Fifth Avenue when
Speaker 1: the parade comes, so they can see the parade. So
Speaker 1: they so Thursday morning, right, She's so Thursday morning, I'm
Speaker 1: on the air. I gotta leave, but they can. You
Speaker 1: have Minnesota in Detroit and that's one of those crossover
Speaker 1: games like that, because that's not a typical but because
Speaker 1: really is to use the NFC that does the Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: games and start off as addition as Dallas and Detroit,
Speaker 1: so of course it has to be a cross over game. Um,
Speaker 1: so the kids will be there for Thanksgiving Day parade.
Speaker 1: Have they ever done that before? They did it once,
Speaker 1: but it was bad because we're outside and it was cold.
Speaker 1: But now they can be they can go they can
Speaker 1: go out the hotel and see if they want to
Speaker 1: see a person, or they can go back in the
Speaker 1: hotel and I'm giving them a view from Fifth Avenue
Speaker 1: so they can watch from there. They literally can walk
Speaker 1: to the window. They know how good they have it.
Speaker 1: My kids, they don't even respect Dad trying to go
Speaker 1: on calling in favor like yo, I needed to Okay,
Speaker 1: I need the view so the kids can see and
Speaker 1: just think if you go up high enough, the float
Speaker 1: across right past your face, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So you get a room like maybe six seventh floor,
Speaker 1: the floor will go right by the kid's face. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, dostand reach out and shoot shot the spike
Speaker 1: and bus. Now, when you were a kid, did you
Speaker 1: ever watch the parade? You always watch the parade. That's
Speaker 1: you watched the parade before before you before football starts.
Speaker 1: And then you go out. Sometimes in Detroit a lot
Speaker 1: of times were growing up, it was snow outside. So
Speaker 1: you go out. You have your turkey bowl. So you
Speaker 1: go out, your neighborhood game. Neighborhood game. You put it,
Speaker 1: You put on all the layers of clothes, be the
Speaker 1: snow outside. You go play football. But when you're the
Speaker 1: only guy in your neighborhood, when you're playing with twenty
Speaker 1: guys who went on and play the National Football League.
Speaker 1: My point is, you're the mad backer, You're the nasty man.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play against you. You know, once
Speaker 1: we're playing flank football, dude, you're you're on my team.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play. Think growing up, all my cousins,
Speaker 1: everybody's older than me. So like where I was, I
Speaker 1: was the little kid that can play with the big kids.
Speaker 1: So like I really didn't intimidate the big kids because
Speaker 1: you know, my cousins is six years older than me,
Speaker 1: so like he's sixteen, I'm ten. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I was a kid that catched the pass like
Speaker 1: late where you know they slipping on me and hit
Speaker 1: him with a little wiggle and make the catch. You know.
Speaker 1: I mean I ain't always been a defensive player. I
Speaker 1: was a running back too, so I can get that rocking.
Speaker 1: You know. We just play pick him up, messing up.
Speaker 1: That's how I devel out my skills. So pick him
Speaker 1: my mess him up? Was you throw a ball or
Speaker 1: or you have to get past people? Right, So you
Speaker 1: got one person, so let's pick him up up, Well,
Speaker 1: pick my messim up something else. But we play an
Speaker 1: other game, right, So you start. It's cool game. So
Speaker 1: you start at the base. You have one person, that's it.
Speaker 1: So he called somebody out, right, he called somebody out.
Speaker 1: If that person gets past him, then the whole group
Speaker 1: gets to run. Right. So the first person just you
Speaker 1: and him one on one, and you chase, if you tag,
Speaker 1: if you tackle him or you get him. Then now
Speaker 1: he becomes a chaser with you. And what you do
Speaker 1: is you call people out. But what happens is the
Speaker 1: person that you called out they get to the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Then the whole group get the run. So now you
Speaker 1: gotta try and catch one of a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: So it's like tackle tag and but you run straight
Speaker 1: back and forth and you sit in the middle and
Speaker 1: on the winth of the field. What I won, It
Speaker 1: depends on what feel you in. Yeah, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about a football field. We're talking about the parts abandoned
Speaker 1: a lot and banning a lot. So like so you
Speaker 1: can think maybe yards wide, you know, it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, my grandmother's lot was like twenty yards wide,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, so like it's a good space
Speaker 1: and so so talking about while it was a great
Speaker 1: open field tackle because I played that game growing up
Speaker 1: all the time, and you start tacking other people. So
Speaker 1: then now as running back to now the whole fillers
Speaker 1: out there, you're the only one that's like maybe two
Speaker 1: of you guys left. They call you you're dunking like
Speaker 1: five safe? Were you hurting young guys out there? Hood game? Well,
Speaker 1: when when I played, like I started playing football, when
Speaker 1: I was eight. So I mean, like all the tackle
Speaker 1: and stuff I did as a kid would probably be
Speaker 1: illegal because we just had this thing about we said
Speaker 1: get meat, and meat was to paint off the other
Speaker 1: person's helmet. And like every once in a while you
Speaker 1: would see somebody cheating, they'll go over there, they'll be
Speaker 1: hitting the hitting their helmet against the ground, or trying
Speaker 1: to take somebody else helmet that's their buddy from a
Speaker 1: different team. And all minds was earned. So you you
Speaker 1: guys suited up when you're doing that. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about I'm just talking about growing up like
Speaker 1: you talking about how it was as a kid, like
Speaker 1: I was a head hunter. Like when you looked at me,
Speaker 1: I had streaks from every team like landon Wood night night,
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't be allowed to play like Little League
Speaker 1: no more. But they didn't call that back, And yeah
Speaker 1: they did. That's what I'm saying. That's how the game
Speaker 1: has changed. Like you were trying to not hit the
Speaker 1: guy so hard that his paint rubs on your helmet,
Speaker 1: and you can tell. Even in high school, I always
Speaker 1: had a bunch of meat, just straight gone. And the
Speaker 1: best way to get meat is off that face Max
Speaker 1: because face Master Guy got that rubber so it burns quick.
Speaker 1: But you get that meat off the top of the
Speaker 1: helmet too. But then it shows you how far the
Speaker 1: game has come. You ever take the kids back to
Speaker 1: uh use, I imagine you still got family in Detroit, Michigan.
Speaker 1: Do you ever take them back to the to the
Speaker 1: own neighborhood when you crew up? Act? That's the absolutely
Speaker 1: My family still lives on that block and I still
Speaker 1: have a lot of family there. Um, and you know,
Speaker 1: I have a picture that they haven't been back and
Speaker 1: maybe two or three years with me like going there
Speaker 1: and with their mom took them back. But um, we
Speaker 1: should do this thing. Well last time we went back.
Speaker 1: I think my son is three now, so he was once.
Speaker 1: It was two years ago. Like I took him to
Speaker 1: take a victory lap everyone every time I go home.
Speaker 1: Every time I go home, I take a victory lap. Um.
Speaker 1: So my high school football feelers named after me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you donated funds back there, No, No, I had,
Speaker 1: you know, I had nothing new fundy They changed it
Speaker 1: to that before well well before before that, you know
Speaker 1: basically just um just because where you would made it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I became and you know, I've always been a member
Speaker 1: of that community. Always came back to their name of
Speaker 1: Statum for me because Will Goldson goes there was from there,
Speaker 1: and Jonathan haikins, it's from there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So you know, since then, there's been other guys that
Speaker 1: made the victory lap means what I do a victory
Speaker 1: lap for myself. So I come back. So it's weird.
Speaker 1: I do the same thing, right. I come back and
Speaker 1: I go to this mall that I grew up in
Speaker 1: and I get an order of nachos and hill Opinions
Speaker 1: extra cheese. I sit down and I peached people watch
Speaker 1: and I just watched people when I watched them going
Speaker 1: through life, and you know, I see, I love why
Speaker 1: and like the teenagers and the kids, and it puts
Speaker 1: me in the mindset of that kid could be somebody special.
Speaker 1: That kids want to do this, that kid and everything
Speaker 1: is available to that kid right now. He can be
Speaker 1: with every one because I walked through the same hallway.
Speaker 1: So people watch. And then what I do is I
Speaker 1: drive to my old neighborhood, um before I take my
Speaker 1: victory lap, so my school is fed on with Fairview
Speaker 1: street car Fairview and what I do is I lived
Speaker 1: in between Charlotte will and Goalthy, the schools in between
Speaker 1: Charlotte Wold and Gothy Right, So I drive up every street,
Speaker 1: so I go. So I make a right, go down,
Speaker 1: make a left, go to the next street, make a left,
Speaker 1: go make a right, go down the next street. And
Speaker 1: I go through this tied neighborhood. Then I go back
Speaker 1: and come back and I get out and it's just me.
Speaker 1: Nobody else is around. And I did this every since
Speaker 1: I was a player too, every time, and I go
Speaker 1: back and I walk around that track, and I reflect
Speaker 1: on how far I've come and where I've been, and
Speaker 1: it puts me back and always put me back in
Speaker 1: the mindset to come back wherever I was at, whether
Speaker 1: I was in Baltimore, I was in New York, to
Speaker 1: make those people proud in that neighborhood of what I've
Speaker 1: become and what I represent because I represent them, I
Speaker 1: represent hope, I represent um, change, I represent um, the
Speaker 1: fact that you can dream. I defied the odes, and
Speaker 1: I hope that I can inspire them to do the
Speaker 1: same or to believe that they can. And it's weird
Speaker 1: because and then in the last couple of years, I
Speaker 1: can look to the left of my school, and you know,
Speaker 1: everybody can't be a football player. So I looked to
Speaker 1: the left of my school and I see these projects
Speaker 1: that's right across from my school. And I know the
Speaker 1: Dage Loaf came out of there. So now people that's
Speaker 1: involved in the arts can say, hey, maybe I can.
Speaker 1: She's a female that became a rapper. She's only like
Speaker 1: twenty six maybe, and man, she came from this mess.
Speaker 1: And I always had this thing, you know that you know,
Speaker 1: a ro Oles. I had this vision in my head,
Speaker 1: and you know, I gave my I sold my life
Speaker 1: story to uh Warner Brothers. They're on the rights to it.
Speaker 1: And me and my agent always laughed about what should
Speaker 1: be on the cover, like no, no football picture or
Speaker 1: something tough or anything like that. But we always had
Speaker 1: this vision that, you know, if they ever make the
Speaker 1: movie of a rolls growing out of a crack of
Speaker 1: a broken sidewalk, you know, proven that something beautiful has
Speaker 1: come from somewhere dark, you know, and you know that's
Speaker 1: like my my whole dream, Like they make the movie
Speaker 1: on the cover or the DVD or whatever. So how
Speaker 1: do you go about how do you go about something
Speaker 1: that Warner Brothers. Because I think you did that when
Speaker 1: you were here. Whatever you finalize that when you were here.
Speaker 1: You just remind me, I gotta go get I gotta go.
Speaker 1: You just reminded me, like gate to Lisa Guy to remember.
Speaker 1: I had a writer following me around my first couple
Speaker 1: of years. He called, he called my age. He said,
Speaker 1: has a bunch of personal pictures of my family and
Speaker 1: stuff and me growing up. I forgot I gotta get
Speaker 1: that from. He asked me to get him out. What
Speaker 1: is he doing? He was just a person that creative
Speaker 1: like kind of helped write. But you know the movies.
Speaker 1: You know, hell, they're still trying to make the Tupac
Speaker 1: movie that that's been in the working for thirteen years,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So you never know, like
Speaker 1: you know, but if they make it, they make it.
Speaker 1: If they don't, they don't. You know. I just keep
Speaker 1: adding stuff to the movie because the more successful I become,
Speaker 1: the more person is the book happening, you know? I right,
Speaker 1: I'd like to write, Oh see, I haven't No, I
Speaker 1: haven't even I want to write a book. Say I
Speaker 1: want to get together. I think we might have something
Speaker 1: I want to write, you know, and I already know
Speaker 1: what I want to title I want to I know
Speaker 1: what I want to title my book to be, just
Speaker 1: like I know what a division and like the graphic
Speaker 1: of a rose growing out of a broken sidewalk around
Speaker 1: gravel and all that darkness, and I want that to
Speaker 1: be in black and white. I want the roles to
Speaker 1: being colored kind of like Pleasantville. Um, I was just
Speaker 1: I want the name of my book to be or
Speaker 1: my what do you call it? Biography? Yeah, biography. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted to be uninvited guests, guests like that like that.
Speaker 1: So we have to talk about that separately. Now you
Speaker 1: said the Tupac movie. Um, they've been talking about that
Speaker 1: for more than a decade. Who's going to be the actor?
Speaker 1: Who they already got the actor? He's an unknown, they
Speaker 1: don't know. You gotta do somebody unknown because you don't
Speaker 1: want somebody to play him that everybody knows, because you
Speaker 1: know the Tupac character, just like playing Superman, that becomes iconic.
Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to do something else, you're always
Speaker 1: gonna be known as that, right, So I forgot the
Speaker 1: actor that that did it, But you know he was
Speaker 1: crazy because he had auditioned for the Tupac movie like
Speaker 1: ten years ago and got his nose peers and all
Speaker 1: this stuff to be Tupac and then he just did something.
Speaker 1: You probably can find it a Google or something like that.
Speaker 1: The od B movie is coming out too. I know,
Speaker 1: the guy that played Omar's playing od B the old
Speaker 1: Dirty Basket movie. Because what happens is when you make
Speaker 1: a lot of those movies. Did you meet od He's
Speaker 1: coming up. He came to a couple of chess games back.
Speaker 1: He's crazy. Man had his real food stamp license on
Speaker 1: his damn album cover and got a trouble because it
Speaker 1: was his really like holding He'll fool Stepp. He did
Speaker 1: food stumps famous rapper. Oh man, that was so funny
Speaker 1: man looking back to look at back, you know Tupac
Speaker 1: was just a baby man. Yeah, people don't realize that
Speaker 1: because what happens is their icons smart because we gotta
Speaker 1: talent with the theology school. I mean, just think he
Speaker 1: was rapping at an actor. He had been in the
Speaker 1: how many movies? He had been a movie with John
Speaker 1: Blush before he died, did Poetic Justice, He did Juice,
Speaker 1: He did the movie with Dan Ackroyd where he was
Speaker 1: in there when he's part of the digital underground all
Speaker 1: around the world, the same song. Remember that with Dany
Speaker 1: he was like the Judge and Demi Moore and m
Speaker 1: Chevy Chase I believe got broke down or whatever. They
Speaker 1: had the Fat Twins. That was a funny movie too,
Speaker 1: you know, so like he had been accomplished and been
Speaker 1: in so many movies like people sleep on day DMX too,
Speaker 1: Like if it wasn't for the for the drug addiction,
Speaker 1: DMX is the only you can say, j J you want.
Speaker 1: He's the only actor that's first me rapper, first four
Speaker 1: albums went platinum, platinum, and then let's thing about he
Speaker 1: was a straight up Timberland boots action star. He was
Speaker 1: in the movie with side by side with jet Lee
Speaker 1: Steven's a goal, Like he was that dude, Like how
Speaker 1: many how many rappers other than maybe ice Q and
Speaker 1: l co J can say that they've done as many
Speaker 1: movies as d m X. Now he couldn't stay on
Speaker 1: the wagon, and he still, you know, fights for those demons.
Speaker 1: But it's been some time with guys. Now, those are
Speaker 1: those are the guys who I respect because and I
Speaker 1: tell people all the time, like you're like, oh well,
Speaker 1: you look up to. I look up to guys like
Speaker 1: Dr Dre. I look up to guys like Um the
Speaker 1: Rock Uh ice Q say ice T because transcendent stars. Well,
Speaker 1: to me, anybody can do something special ones, they did twice.
Speaker 1: And when I say do something special ones, anybody can
Speaker 1: be great at one thing, but to transition and become
Speaker 1: respected as something else. So Dr Dre even though Dr
Speaker 1: Dre thing is kind of still within the same realm,
Speaker 1: still in music. I mean it's worth eight hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: But he was a rapper producer and lost his business twice,
Speaker 1: got strong armed by Sugar Knight and came back even stronger.
Speaker 1: You think about Iced Tea, Come on, man, he made
Speaker 1: a song called after Police and now he plays a
Speaker 1: police officer on TV. We're talking about a former pimp
Speaker 1: too order and if he and if he ever? But
Speaker 1: he's also a frequently Yeah he was. He was a
Speaker 1: real you know, they had a documentary Up is Down
Speaker 1: or HBO and like he was like in that pimp
Speaker 1: game for real. And it's funny he tells you like
Speaker 1: that he wasn't a rapper, right, he tells how he
Speaker 1: got in the rap game and talk about a guy
Speaker 1: just with because he wasn't a great lyricist. We talked
Speaker 1: about a guy who I saw a big picture and
Speaker 1: the guy who bet on himself. So he said, it
Speaker 1: goes into the rap label. He goes into the to
Speaker 1: the to the music label. And he said he want
Speaker 1: to be a rapper. He wanted a band, and they're like,
Speaker 1: what are you. He's like, well, let me hear spit something.
Speaker 1: He was like, sir, because you know, I excuse you.
Speaker 1: I te used to be in au and I think
Speaker 1: in the army or something like that. He was like, listen,
Speaker 1: if I was saying that your grenades, do you think
Speaker 1: I would let you throw one of my grenades? Or
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to trust that I got good grenades.
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna wrap for you. You gotta believe
Speaker 1: that I can be that I can wrap. Either you
Speaker 1: believe or you don't what it's gonna be. And he said,
Speaker 1: do sign them right there. I mean that's I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta First of all, you talked about people being
Speaker 1: thirsty and desperate when they gonna make deals. That's faith.
Speaker 1: That's that's faith. I mean, that's showing him like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's good or not man, but
Speaker 1: he got he got something different because it's not a
Speaker 1: lot of people would have pulled that or even attempted
Speaker 1: to pull that because in the threat agetting thrown off
Speaker 1: the office, you know what I'm saying. So like you know,
Speaker 1: then he did New Jack City early in his career too,
Speaker 1: so he was acting early, played the cop there. But
Speaker 1: he based something called cop killer. That's something else. I
Speaker 1: love people that do stuff like that. All right, Uh,
Speaker 1: quickly football, Oh this isn't football. Jet's three and six.
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick has spray knee. Uh, Todd Bull said right now,
Speaker 1: he gives us our best chance to win. If fits
Speaker 1: can practice significantly, he will play against the Rams. If not,
Speaker 1: Bryce Patty will get his first professional start. Your thoughts, Um,
Speaker 1: you don't want to ruin a young player earlier. We've
Speaker 1: seen guys get out there too early. Confidence suffer because
Speaker 1: they really don't have a grasp what's going on. Um,
Speaker 1: they're not prepared, they're not ready. You know, most teams
Speaker 1: are in mid season form. So you're asking him to
Speaker 1: come off the bench. Cole after never starting against Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald and Robert Quinn and Brocker, all those guys, you
Speaker 1: know that the line that could really get to them
Speaker 1: early and really hurt his confidence. So you want to
Speaker 1: put a veteran in that can handle himself and and
Speaker 1: and try and get Petty's development, you know, in the
Speaker 1: off season, or yeah, maybe he starts siting a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, we start him against somebody that may not
Speaker 1: hurt him physically. He's Brandon Marshall said, and you were
Speaker 1: a player. Obviously we were talking about it all the time.
Speaker 1: But from a player's perspective, even at three and six,
Speaker 1: you go and you go, and you don't look at
Speaker 1: the two thousand seventeen draft. Who cares about that. You
Speaker 1: are a player and you're going until you're mathematically eliminated
Speaker 1: from the postseason. If you're a guy in that locker room,
Speaker 1: you think you can win every game, remating why not you?
Speaker 1: You talk about the Kansas City Chiefs that one last
Speaker 1: year and then one in eleven eleven in a row,
Speaker 1: and it advanced all the way and they played New
Speaker 1: England Lawson the divisional playoffs. So but Petty just have
Speaker 1: two years in the system. So listen, if he's called
Speaker 1: on to start this week, he's had a lot of
Speaker 1: time and preparation from coming out of Bellart to that
Speaker 1: simple spread to get acclimated with uh so. Uh. Jets fans,
Speaker 1: as you know, would be very excited to see a
Speaker 1: young quarterback. But I think I think what they should
Speaker 1: be more excited about is trying to figure out, you
Speaker 1: know what the cylind or development of guys like you know, Anderson,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the young receivers. I think that's
Speaker 1: a safer bet to put those young guys in and
Speaker 1: see what they're capable of doing, you know, because all
Speaker 1: you can do now is build Depp. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: these guys have unique talent. But let's see if they
Speaker 1: can take the next steps, see if they can get
Speaker 1: the game plan and you know, let's let's see if
Speaker 1: a noon walk and push you know, Decker to be
Speaker 1: that number two receiver, and then defensively too. You still
Speaker 1: want to see continued development out of some of these
Speaker 1: young guys, like Leonard Williams in the second season. He's
Speaker 1: got six sacks already this year. He's been a stalwart upfront.
Speaker 1: You want to see guys continue to develop in the secondary.
Speaker 1: Marcus Williams is gonna be out, He's got um what
Speaker 1: is I believe it's a high ankle spring actually, so
Speaker 1: he should be out for a few weeks. So you
Speaker 1: might see Darrell Roberts on the outside. You guys A
Speaker 1: surprised you, man, I was one of those guys. You know,
Speaker 1: Ray got hurt. I've been in the program, but nobody
Speaker 1: has seen me do it, you know, a live bullets.
Speaker 1: My first start was on Halloween Day, Monday night football
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Talk about having your first start and
Speaker 1: ray Lewis not been there and Pittsburgh being known as
Speaker 1: a physical run team. Now I just you know, put
Speaker 1: up a sack, force fumble, thirteen tackles. You know you
Speaker 1: would monster numbers the year that Ray and didn't play.
Speaker 1: Hey man, listen, I was hungry. I was sitting in
Speaker 1: the wing. So that's what I'm saying. So all the fans,
Speaker 1: you never know what somebody can do unless they get
Speaker 1: the opportunity. You think about James Harrison getting his first
Speaker 1: start because Joey Porter got in a pre pre pregame
Speaker 1: fight and they discovered James Harrison was a gamer. Because
Speaker 1: some guys you put in there and they and they
Speaker 1: and they drink up or they play small. You get
Speaker 1: some guys in there man, They're like, oh, like, it's
Speaker 1: like the floodgates so many and you can't deny. You
Speaker 1: look on the film like what the hell? We can
Speaker 1: never harness all this energy, all this passion, you know,
Speaker 1: God playing like he's going for broke. Because that's the
Speaker 1: thing here. There are seven games remaining, and organizationally, whether
Speaker 1: you make the playoffs or not, people on the outside
Speaker 1: was saying, I ain't got nothing to play for. You're
Speaker 1: not making the playoffs again for six consecutive season. Where
Speaker 1: that's the truth is. You want to find a Bart Scott.
Speaker 1: Can Bart Scott play and eventually play inside linebacker for us?
Speaker 1: Because that's gonna help you with two thousand se and beyond.
Speaker 1: Because what happened is when I when I, when they
Speaker 1: figured out I was a player, they said, you know what,
Speaker 1: we don't have to resign Tommy Polly because when Ray
Speaker 1: come back, he got a killer next to him and
Speaker 1: we don't have the Pam. So now we can go
Speaker 1: out and spend money elsewhere. We don't have the pay
Speaker 1: money for this veteran to be here and get a
Speaker 1: big contract. We can use bar and that gives a
Speaker 1: couple of you know, a couple three years or address
Speaker 1: some other issues before we have to address his all right,
Speaker 1: So the last point I want to get to today's
Speaker 1: Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson were benched or we're not in
Speaker 1: the lineup in the first quarter against the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: Todd Bull said, coaches decision. Pressed on it. Coach's decision,
Speaker 1: he said, I'll talk about football, I'll talk about injuries,
Speaker 1: but some things we handle in house. My point is,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of various reports out there, and
Speaker 1: there are great reporters out there in the world. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that happened inside these doors
Speaker 1: that nobody knows about. And there's a lot of stories
Speaker 1: that are in here that never get out and people
Speaker 1: will be surprised by them. Can you just talk about
Speaker 1: that a little bit? On all the things that go
Speaker 1: on internally? But we call it the CIA. We have
Speaker 1: the police ourselves, and listen, you don't go out and report.
Speaker 1: People don't a out and report everything that happens in
Speaker 1: their industries. Right, so law firm don't say, Okay, so
Speaker 1: and so showed up LATEE he's having problems with his
Speaker 1: wife or you know, he's you know this or that
Speaker 1: or he you know, he went off and he went
Speaker 1: stormed in the office of the balls and almost gonna fight.
Speaker 1: Nobody says any of that stuff. So why do you
Speaker 1: think that a football organization to to, you know, air
Speaker 1: out the dirty lionndry and tell you everything that's going on. Listen,
Speaker 1: we have a structure here. You know, guys are held
Speaker 1: a kind, held to a higher standard than most people
Speaker 1: are in society. Um and some things you just have
Speaker 1: to handle because you're dealing with young men that you
Speaker 1: have to develop. You're dealing with young men that are
Speaker 1: early in the process of trying to be a professional,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you have to take the ball away from
Speaker 1: him to let them understand that. Listen, everybody is held accountable.
Speaker 1: It's not just you know, it's not different rules for
Speaker 1: for this player to this player. You know, we need
Speaker 1: you to be you know, accountable. You need to be
Speaker 1: a professional because it's gonna help you, not only in football,
Speaker 1: it's gonna help you as you transition off to learn
Speaker 1: what the pros is. And you have to have a
Speaker 1: strong locker room. And you know, it's disappointing that a
Speaker 1: guy like Sheldon Richard and and Mohammed we were saying,
Speaker 1: you know, are the examples when they shouldn't be. You know,
Speaker 1: they should be the one that's setting the standard, you know,
Speaker 1: for the younger players, and this is that that just
Speaker 1: lets you know that they have some more maturing to
Speaker 1: do in their process. You know, I would be more
Speaker 1: shocked if if it was a guy like David Harris
Speaker 1: or a guy like that, or or Nick Mango that
Speaker 1: they had these indiscretions. But you know, these are guys
Speaker 1: that are borderline young guys there in the middle of
Speaker 1: their career, or Mohammed in the middle of his career transitioning,
Speaker 1: you know, but he just got a huge contract and
Speaker 1: too much as given, much as expected. Yeah, And that's
Speaker 1: the thing. There's fifty three young men in a locker room.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even specifically talking about Moe Sheldon, Dave Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: any of them. The point is there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things going on down there that nobody knows about. So
Speaker 1: you hear about various reports and things like that. I
Speaker 1: know this. Todd Bowles was a player himself. He played
Speaker 1: eight years in the National Football League. He won a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I know, he was an assistant coach of
Speaker 1: the Year with the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals made the playoffs,
Speaker 1: not because of that great offense the one year, but
Speaker 1: what he was doing defensively. He's learned from legends in
Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs and Bill part ourselves and Bruce Arians and
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. He knows what he's doing. He knows how
Speaker 1: to deal with these young guys exactly. I mean, because
Speaker 1: he's not too far removed. He's not an older guy,
Speaker 1: he's not out of touch with what's going on. And
Speaker 1: I think the public embarrassment that you know, the two
Speaker 1: players had, not only for themselves but for their family,
Speaker 1: you know, sending a strong message that you know, we
Speaker 1: don't put anything above our standard or whatever our whatever
Speaker 1: our mission statement is. You know, nobody's above that. And
Speaker 1: I think that sends a powerful message because if you'll
Speaker 1: do that to them, if I'm a player that's maybe
Speaker 1: not as high ranking as them, that could mean I
Speaker 1: lose my job. Where it's not just sitting down for
Speaker 1: a full quarter, could be you know, pack you back.
Speaker 1: Here's a great hound ticket. Any interested in Paquial Mayweather too?
Speaker 1: Because no, for me? How about Floyd showing up the
Speaker 1: other night at Rnkie's Gonna show up because that's what
Speaker 1: he does. He's planning seas. I won't watch the replay.
Speaker 1: I have no interest. I don't want to see that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even watch. I wouldn't even pay pay per
Speaker 1: view to watch it. Unless you invite me over and
Speaker 1: you're having one of your house parties. I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: you to fall asleep. That's part Scott, that's the podcast.
