And 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: if I forgot your name is just because you're not famous. 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: Now let me stop. Um. All respect to everybody who 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: was in the building, right so we're sitting there and 21 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: finally we got a good game. Because that first game, 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it in a sect that was 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: not it. But this game. Oh yeah, So I'm I'm 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: posted on the couch with somebody who's more than famous. 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: He's actually rich, he's actually making an impact. My man, 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: Gary Corney Gay. If I said his last name right, 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: Corney Gay. But this dude's a beast. Y'all look him up, 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: Google him and y'all figure it out. Anyway, we're sitting 29 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: there watching this game, and what's amazing about this game 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: excuse me, other than the frog in my voice, what's 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: amazing about this game is you're watching it as it 32 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: is going down to the wire, and obviously Casey's jumped out, 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: had that lead, and then all of a sudden you 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: saw Cincinnati come back and you saw it tied for 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: a while. You're like, what's gonna happen to him? Cincinnati 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: gonna go for an oh against the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, 37 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: what are you doing right? But then you're like, nah, 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: I don't know they in Arrowhead this time. I mean, look, 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: I know three is the magic number, but maybe it's 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: four today. Finally, on the fourth try, Patrick Mahomes finally 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: gets over the hurdle. And you're watching this game, and 42 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: it came down to the referees. It came down to 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: the Zebras, but it didn't come down in the sense 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: I think that the narrative is right now, which is 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: the game is rigged. The game is not rigged in 46 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: my opinion. Why because if you look at this game, 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: that was a personal foul, that was unnecessary roughness, that 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: was fifteen yards. That was ball game as it should 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: have been. Anybody would have called that right, whether you're zebra, 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: whether you're referee, full locker dude, that works, work study y'all. 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: Whoever you are, you calling that play. But there were 52 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: other plays, obviously a mention that made some of the 53 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: NFL fans a little curious, a couple of dubious calls 54 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: here and there. But I'm not gonna dig down that 55 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: rabbit hole or travel down there. I'm gonna talk about 56 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: that one play. A lot of people call it the 57 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: bone head play, right, and I'm here to demystify the 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: bone head play because Patrick Mahomes, who can't run in 59 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: this moment, I mean, by the second you just saw him, 60 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: the can atrophying out there, like you're like, dude, this 61 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: dude ain't gonna make it to overtime if this game 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: has to go to overtime. Right, You're watching Patrick Mahomes 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: in the moment, and all sudden he takes off running, 64 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: and my first thought was, come on, somebody pop on 65 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: the screen and go get his ass. Right, he can't 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: be running that fast. He's hurt. He got two left 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: legs or two right legs. I don't know which one 68 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: was hurt. But he's not normal. Go get him. And 69 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: then one guy shoots into the screen, and then the 70 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: other guy shoots into the screen. Since I'm not working 71 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: at Network TV, I don't have to know their names anymore, 72 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: but um, the linebacker and the dB jump into the 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: screen and next thing you know, wo wow. And you know, 74 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: in this moment, in this millisecond, like right now, Patrick 75 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: Mahomes out of bounds, but he still gets pushed and 76 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, they're gonna call the flag. They gonna 77 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna call it. They called it as they should 78 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,559 Speaker 1: have called it, right, But let's talk about the bone 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: head play that moment. Why would you hit Patrick Mahomes 80 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: all the bounds his own teammates said it walking into 81 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: the locker room. You saw that on Instagram and on 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: social media as well. Why would you do that. I'm 83 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: here to defend the bone head play. I'm a guy who, 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: for many reasons, suffered from being great my entire career. 85 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: Um the first few years. Let's just be real, I 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: was behind Bruce Smith and Phil Hasson, and I came 87 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: from a small program. I came from Colombia. I wasn't 88 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: that good. I had to learn the ropes. I mean, 89 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: I was talented. Don't trip like. I ain't gonna be fake, 90 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: fake humble up here. I'm gonna be him. Um. I 91 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: was talented. I was an athlete. I was a beast, 92 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: but I ain't know football. I can't line. I was 93 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: a great artist who didn't have the science of football 94 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: down just yet. So it was great to be on 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: the bench and get opportunities and spot reps behind Bruce Smith, 96 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: the greatest defensive end ever, and Phil Hanson maybe the 97 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: most unheralded greatest defensive end ever. So I learned the 98 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: ropes from those guys and finally got my opportunity in 99 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: my fourth year. So that's three years of my career. 100 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: Ten year career, three years gone now. My fourth year 101 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: I had a back surgery, but I bawled. Fifth year 102 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: had a foot surgery, but I bawled. Right then I 103 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: started coming down the hill ever so slightly, and like 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: my sixth year, still up there though, still top fifty 105 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: in the league. Don't trip twice. Top fifty, yes, your boy, um. 106 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: But it was something that I suffered from was that 107 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: I never was maniacal. I never was single minded. I 108 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: never was nuclear focused like one thing, one thing, only 109 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: you know. I wasn't the lab rat. I wasn't see 110 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: color hit color. I was too mindful. I was too thoughtful, 111 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: probably as the scouts used to say, you're too smart 112 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: for your own good. Right. I always looked at the 113 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: game not only rationally, but logically, rarely irrationally, and rarely 114 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: like a moment like this while I was just so 115 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: locked in that I made a bone head play. I 116 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: can't think of any bone head plays I made. And 117 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: that's a criticism, that is not a compliment. That is 118 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: one reason I think between the ears, I wasn't as 119 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: great as I could have been, as I should have been. Injuries, 120 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: of course, everybody knows my career for real knows that 121 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: in my primary years, by years of prime I should say, dog, 122 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: I got robbed, I got robbed. I give it that. 123 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: But before that, or at least underlying all of that, 124 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: was the fact that I wasn't like some of my 125 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: great teammates who just were locked in, all in on 126 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: the play call, like they knew nothing else in life. 127 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: And that's a compliment. And I saw it come to 128 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: fruition last night that last play running out of bounds. 129 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: You are so locked in, forget circumstances, even at times, 130 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: forget the moment. You are a hunting dog her and 131 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: see Patrick Mahomes, I am eating his ass up. I 132 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: don't care where and how. And that usually pays positive 133 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: dividends throughout the regular season and the playoffs. It usually 134 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: works for you. But every now and then, because life 135 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: is a bouncing that everything in moderation, including moderation right 136 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: when you're too extreme like that, A guy like that, 137 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: so locked in. I've had teammates like this, Hall of 138 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Fame teammates like this. They're the ones that commit that 139 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: egregious error at the worst time. Yep, same guy that 140 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: makes all the plays that you're just sitting there. Damn 141 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: that boy good, Damn that dode good. Damn. He a 142 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: beast is the same one that will eat his own. 143 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: That beast will eat his own at the worst possible moment, 144 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: and we saw it. That was the worst moment. I mean, 145 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: come on, you almost wish you would have just let 146 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes just go. He's running out of bounds, he's hurt, 147 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: he's compromised, he doesn't want the pain. But when you're 148 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: locked in like that, and when you're a good player 149 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: like that, that's sometimes the consequence of being that locked in. 150 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: So the game wasn't rigged, in my opinion, it was 151 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: just a game with special interests. Let's talk about those 152 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: special interests. Because every single crew of officials before the game, 153 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: and I've seen these meetings, have been privy to be 154 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: in that vicinity to see these meetings. They have a 155 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: points of emphasis meeting. All of the officials that get 156 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: together in the abandoned locker room somewhere in the stadium, 157 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: right And as you're walking out your locker room and 158 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: walking into your locker room, you see them and they 159 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: just huddled up like they're playing. Old asses, ain't playing right, 160 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: They all huddled up and on their white board, because 161 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: I'm old school, it was talk board, but I'll fast forward. 162 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: On their white board, they will have like holding um, 163 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness, um, all sides right. They will have actual 164 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: penalties that the NFL, the business headquarters, is trying to 165 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: make an emphasis in terms of hindering, curttelling, stopping, eliminating 166 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: these penalties. And every year we hear it in the 167 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: off season, but we just don't take notice. Every year 168 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: and offseason you hear, okay, uh, the Disciplinary Committee and 169 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: the CODA Conduct Committee and they've come together, and the 170 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Player Safety Committee, all these committees right have come together 171 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: with new legislation and new rules, and the Rules Committee 172 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: says we're going to implement X. Well. X is emphasized 173 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: throughout the regular season and playoffs. I wonder was a 174 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: point of emphasis. Patrick Mahomes health, Mmm. Sounds like I'm 175 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: giving a little fuel to y'all conspiracy theorists out there 176 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: saying the game is rigged, right, m No, because this 177 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: happens every single week. Every single week, we're sitting there 178 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: with the points of emphasis that a lot of times 179 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: translates to more calls for that point of emphasis. Then 180 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: they call a lot of holding. Damn, this crew called 181 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: a lot of off sides. Damn. This crew is looking 182 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: for unnecessary roughness, whatever it may be. But that's how, 183 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: if you really want to run with one and go 184 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: into rabbit hole. The connection between the NFL business and 185 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: headquarters and their committees and how they want to legislate 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: the game and all of us utton how that plays 187 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: out on the actual field because through select the perception, 188 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: through the lens of the officials, they are emphasizing those 189 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: same calls. I get that, But other than that, I 190 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: don't get it. You know what, I also don't get 191 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: why the hell I watched all four quarters of the 192 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: Eagles forty Niners game. Hit Man sound like flavor flav Um. 193 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: Ain't no damn way with a fourth string quarterback. Don't 194 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: forget PERTI was third string and he was great. With 195 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: a fourth string quarterback on the road against the number 196 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: one seed, the forty Niners had a shot, no shot 197 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: at all, no shot. Who shot you? Nobody shot you? 198 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: You got no shot? I mean. And the worst thing 199 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: about it all is that we all felt like Obama 200 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: right holding on the hope, selling hope like ain't no hope, bro, 201 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: I've been on teams like that before. I've been in games, 202 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: I've been in playoff games. Before Music City Miracle. We 203 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: had our second best quarterback starting, Rob Johnson, not even 204 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: our fourth. Like we weren't because of injury. We weren't 205 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: not playing Dug Fluty because of injury. We were playing 206 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,239 Speaker 1: Rob Johnson just because the money, just because the reputation, 207 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: just because he looked apart and he wasn't a scrub, 208 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: but he wasn't Dug Fluty by any stretch, and it 209 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: deflates the team goodness we were like and then we 210 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: walked out. I remember we were in Tennessee and we 211 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: already knew that Rob was starting, and you could just 212 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: feel a collective emptiness, like damn, like we leaving points 213 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: on the board before we even get on the field 214 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: to score points on the board. What are we doing? 215 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, do my part, which 216 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: I think I was in my second year. My part 217 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: wasn't large. Let's just say that, like, we weren't gonna 218 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: win the game because of me, and we certainly weren't 219 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: gonna lose the game because to me, I didn't have 220 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: that kind of impact at that time on the team. 221 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: But I'm sitting there like, man, this is big business. 222 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: This is silly. What are we doing? We're not even 223 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: putting our best foot forward. How the hell are we 224 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: supposed to win? Al We're supposed to win in spite 225 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: of the politics. Well, in this Eagles forty Niners game, Oh, 226 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't about the politics. It was about the primal 227 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: behavior of defenders when they come off the edge and 228 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: they see a quarterback and smell blood. And when you 229 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: smell that blood, people always say, do you really try 230 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: to hurt people out there? Do you really try to 231 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: hurt players? Hell? Yeah, And the better you are, the 232 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: more I'm trying to hurt you. Why exhibit a Eagles 233 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: forty Niners. As soon as party went out that game, 234 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: the hopes of the forty Niners went out that game. 235 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: It was a rat. You couldn't win four string quarter 236 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: He like, I mean, look, he probably prepared. I'm I'm lying. 237 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: Don't think he was prepared, Like he will be prepared 238 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: if he were the starter. You can lie to yourself, 239 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: but yourself is not listening to those lives like yeah, yeah, 240 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: get every rep, get every second of film, prep be ready. 241 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: How many delayed games that they have? I wonder how 242 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: many false starts too. I mean, dog, it was night 243 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: and day, and it was night and day from a 244 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: third stringer to a fourth stringer, not their starter, trade lance, 245 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: not their backup who should have been their starter, Jimmy 246 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: g q q D Pie. No, we were down to 247 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: rock party and then four stringer come on, Bro. So 248 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: it's so disappointed to watch a game like that because 249 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: you know the players are sitting there like, Bro, I mean, 250 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna try, but we're gonna lie. This ain't gonna fly. 251 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't gonna work. And I've just been in that 252 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: place before, the emptiness to doubt, and you try to 253 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: compartmentalize it, right, I gotta put it to the side. 254 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: Get that dog. Forget that dog. Got a hunt. I 255 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: don't give a damn with my leg hurt, gotta hunt. 256 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: And I don't even think. I don't think that game 257 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: was contentious at all. Like the score wasn't out of 258 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: control into what second half, but it was out of control. 259 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Oh when they scored right before the half, that's when 260 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: you knew Pop he did flat line cold blue. You're like, 261 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: they let him score because it was that fumble ball 262 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: hit him right in the hands and Yang Yang Yang 263 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: was the named Thompson hit him right, hang Ying Yang 264 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: Yang ball on the ground. You're like, rap rap call. 265 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: It should have had the same ratings that the National 266 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: Championship Game had t c U versus Georgia, Like I 267 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: should have tuned out, then I should have known from 268 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: my experiences. I should have known. But hey, we all 269 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: we all stayed with it, hoping, hoping, and then you 270 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: realize who coaching matters, But to me, personnel matters much more. 271 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: It's not about the jockeys. It's about the horse and 272 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: the horses. And if you don't have those horses, I 273 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: don't care what jockey you got, you ain't getting nothing 274 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: out of this. Now, let's switch gears because this week 275 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday, three year anniversary of Kobe Bryant's death, his 276 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: daughter Gianna and seven others, right, mm hmm um one. 277 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: I just feel weird, but I don't know another word. 278 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: They keep saying anniversary, and I'm like, I guess we're 279 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: into the phase of celebrating life, but I always think 280 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: about the departure and and the loss of death. Like 281 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: I I hear y'all, y'all trying to paint a prettier 282 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: picture my mother passed away. Oh, it's the celebration of life, 283 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: and give her a video montage with her favorite songs. 284 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: And this feels good. But boy does this feel like hell? Um, 285 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Kobe Bryant, because I'm gonna describe the 286 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: moment when I heard Kobe Bryant that passed and like 287 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: everyone out there listening, I know everyone out there watching, 288 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: I know true disbelief because Kobe was bigger than life. 289 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Kobe was greater than life. You felt like not only 290 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: his persona and the Black Mamba and girls dad at 291 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: that time, but his game. Like you're like, yo, we 292 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: saw the second coming to Michael Jordan's and he's dead. 293 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: Like when I heard, I literally was on the way 294 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: en route to go into the airport. And I don't 295 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: travel much on purpose. I'm not trying to leave the crib, 296 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: certainly not trying to leave l A when everybody in 297 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: the world trying to fly to l A like this 298 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: is a vacation destination. I'm not trying to do anything, 299 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: especially stuff is virtual now. Even back then, I wasn't 300 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: trying to leave the crib. Got three little ones at home, 301 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: the wife, I'm like and this was one of those 302 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: rare occasions. I had a flight and I get the news, 303 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: the up, the update, the alert. I'm like, what, Like, 304 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: the first thing I did was hit refreshed. There's no 305 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: damn way Kobe Bryant's gone m hm. And it happened 306 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: in Calabasas. At the time, I was living in Studio City. 307 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: So that's just like a couple of suburbs away, a 308 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: few suburbs away, twenty minutes if you're driving fast, no 309 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: l A traffic, but not far at all. And I 310 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: lived literally under the helicopter path, Like there's this helicopter 311 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: path that takes them downtown, so Kobe o C. Orange 312 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: County takes them downtown l A. And then they fly 313 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: up the one oh one, And so I ain't live 314 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: in the hood. I'm in Studio City, but the choppers 315 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: all the time. My kids loved it because the helicopter 316 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: fly really low. My kids loved it. They were like, 317 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: oh my god, like we live on Air Force base 318 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: or something, daddy, So they loved it. And I got 319 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: the news right, Hit and refresh, Hitt and refresh is 320 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: getting worse, it's getting grim. And I was just like like, 321 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: just in such disbelief that it was like outer body. 322 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: I was in the back of the car riding the 323 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: car service to the airport, and literally I felt like 324 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: I had a passenger next to me. It was me, 325 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: me and me sitting next to each other, because one 326 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: of me was just going to the airport like all right, 327 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: business as usual, but the other me was like, this 328 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: is devastating. I'm thinking, I'm about to get on the flight. 329 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: Then of course who doesn't. I'm thinking, what are my 330 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: plane crashes? What if I leave my kids? What if 331 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: my goodbye was my real, last, final, eternal goodbye? Boy? 332 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: Stop playing and then all kind of emotions, right because 333 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, it starts to get real. You go through 334 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: what the seven stages of grief, h and it starts 335 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: to get real. And one of the things that I 336 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: thought about was like, God, you imagine playing twenty years 337 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: of basketball professionally and probably dirty something your entire life. 338 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: You played a game forever to live a life in 339 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: the real world. That was that short. You played forever, 340 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: But the real world, real life, real family experience that fast. 341 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: Come on? Man. I was like for real. I was like, 342 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: life is not fair, Like we say that and we 343 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: see that but I knew that and that I was like, 344 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: that ain't right. This dude did all of that. And 345 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: then it humbled me. I was like, he did all 346 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: of that and at that level, like I played ball, 347 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: but I was not even close to the shoe strings 348 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 1: the bottom of the shoes in terms of greatness of 349 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: a Kobe Bryant. I hung with Kobe Bryant. I knew 350 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant was like what. I was like, Damn, you 351 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: can get robbed of what you're doing all of that 352 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: basketball for You're doing all of that in sport, dedication, determination, 353 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: greatness so that you can just chill with the girls, 354 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: chill with Vanessa, chill with in life, right, and you 355 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: can't even do that. And not only can't you chill, 356 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: You're gone. I was like, oh, this is just whoa 357 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: And it just humbled me. It just put me in 358 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: my little corner emotionally. And then I was like, Wow, 359 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: my family, what if I not this time? But what 360 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: if it just I have a short lived post retirement 361 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: Like I played ball since I was eight years old. 362 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: I played twenty five years of football, and what if 363 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't have twenty years of retirement? I was like, damn, 364 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: because you do not play all that ball just to 365 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: have your life end in a flash when it's over. 366 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: You do not do that for that reason. And so 367 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: my travel mindset was dark. I could be snatched for 368 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: my family, I could get on this flight never ever 369 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: make it home. And then I start thinking, like godly, 370 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: whoa all the things that Kobe Bryant meant to people, 371 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: like all the things like good, bad, and ugly, because 372 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: some people still don't like Kobe Bryant. Colorado comes to 373 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: mind for people, the attitude the black Mama. Some people 374 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: didn't like black Mama. Some people hate the black Mama. 375 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: And it made me like the analysts the broadcaster. I 376 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: got mad at myself because Kobe and I used to 377 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: laugh at this. He actually gave me props. One time. 378 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: I was at a letter game and um, we're walking 379 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: in the tunnel and he said, you know, while I 380 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: like you dog for real, because I know when I 381 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: listen to you, you're telling the truth and you're speaking 382 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: from your heart, and more importantly, you're saying it exactly 383 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: how it is, even if it doesn't feel good or 384 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: sound good. Like I've heard you say some stuff about 385 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: me and I'm like, now, he right, dog, And that 386 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: felt good. And I didn't broadcast that to the world, 387 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: and I ain't tape it. I ain't tell him to 388 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: tweet it. I was just like, Kobe, I don't hate you, dog, 389 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: But I did catch Kobe kind of coming down to hell. 390 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: Pete powers like Kobe Achilles, Kobe shoulder, Kobe hurt all 391 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: the time, Kobe big contract not necessarily the same. So 392 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: I was like, damn, why do I have a job 393 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: that I gotta be critical as somebody that I praised. 394 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: I really love Kobe Bryant, but my job didn't want 395 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: me to say always I love Kobe Bryant because what 396 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: I saw wasn't always something that fans loved. So I 397 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: had to keep it real because that's just how I'm built, 398 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: y'all know me. And in that moment it kind of 399 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: washed me away. I was like, man, I should have 400 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: never said a bad word about that guy. Of course 401 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have had a job, but I mean I 402 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been respected in my job. Kobe would have 403 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: never pulled me to the side and talk to me 404 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: like he did and always give me love. But I 405 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: felt weird, man felt really weird. Rest In paradise, Rest 406 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: in peace, just rest man and um, I don't think 407 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: that this world would ever ever feel that void that 408 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant left for many reasons. You saw those grown men, 409 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: grown athletes crying from Michael Jordanan's down. Ain't nobody faking 410 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: that shock, Nobody faking that that's real? That is real. 411 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: Much love to the mama speaking of something that's real. 412 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Uh the Tyree Nichols who video and 413 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: killing m hmm, here we go. Uh, this is a 414 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: huge story. The only way it could have been a 415 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 1: bigger story is obviously, y'all know if the five cops 416 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: weren't black but actually white, Rodney King two point oh 417 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: would have made this even bigger. And I'm not trying 418 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: to make it bigger, but one of the things that 419 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: jumps off the screen is like, Wow, how brutal, how 420 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: inhumane and worse worse and I say worse, his own 421 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: people did that to him. Let me tell you why 422 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: that's worse. It's worse because in this respect, a lot 423 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: of people always want to blame being a police officer 424 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: and want to racialize it. A lot of people want 425 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: to look at and politicizing they don't want to humanize it, right. 426 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: They want to say those people were acting because they're 427 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: part of the blue race, right there, cops, And this 428 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: is why this one is worse, because now you're stuff. 429 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: You don't have the answers. It's not convenient. I think 430 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: it was worse because this allowed shrapnel, asteroids, pieces to 431 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: just go everywhere, and you saw people taking this everywhere. 432 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: If this was neiter, this might have sounded better. But 433 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm glad it wasn't. I'm glad this was oh black 434 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: on black, as they say, right, I'm gonna tell you why, 435 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: because now we really got to identify what's the real problem. Right, 436 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: Is it because they're blue in terms of being cops? 437 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Just a culture or is it just a greater culture? 438 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: In conversation over race, culture versus race, let's get there. 439 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: I've always talked about the importance of culture. I'm not 440 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: into the race conversation, not that not because it doesn't exist. 441 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm not into it because it's not the greatest hurdle 442 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: in its existence. The greater hurd for anybody, I don't 443 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: care what your skin color is, is your culture, your surroundings, 444 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: your conditions, your class, all of those things to me 445 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: proceed and supersede race. Don't believe me. Exhibit A this 446 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: story right here. So now we got to really dig 447 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: into the culture, not just black culture, but police culture. 448 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: Let's talk about police culture. Because this unit wasn't a 449 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: normal unit. This wasn't just five random cops. This was 450 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: the Scorpion Unit. And I've noticed this, whether it's training 451 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: day or in real life doing real cops are part 452 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: of special tactic units, the tactic squad, right, swap team, 453 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: all the way down to the Scorpion Unit. And a 454 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: lot of times when you talk about these special tactical units, 455 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: they're always put in place because of the city's homicide 456 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: rate is soaring, some condition where okay, we gotta really 457 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: lay into this, we gotta really come down with a 458 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: heavy hand, and it usually turns into a bad scene 459 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: out of training day because what occurs increase use of 460 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: force and decrease public trusts. Increase use of force and 461 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: you decrease the public's trust. So the Scorpion units right 462 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: already been accused of assault before. Inmates have come out 463 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: before and says something about the Scorpion Unit. But hey, 464 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: you see this video and you realize they're not cops, 465 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: not exclusively. This is a gang. This is a gang. 466 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: Whether it was Rodney King, those aren't cops. That's a gang. 467 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Five white cops ganging up on Rodney King and beating 468 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: them almost to death. The Scorpion Unit black cops. This 469 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,959 Speaker 1: is a gang beating them to death. What is going on? 470 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: What's really at play here? We've heard it all. Oh cops, 471 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: ain't nothing but the guys who couldn't make varsity, the 472 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: guys who couldn't really flex in high school. Oh cops 473 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: ain't no, no, no, don't do that. That's lazy y'all. 474 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: That's something, But that's not all. What's that play right here? 475 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: Is that when you get conditioned to be a cop, 476 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: you gotta talk about the conditioning. Cops in terms of 477 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: their brain perception, become magnets to negativity. They have to 478 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: look for the bad things every single day, in every 479 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: single way, even though a lot of their daily hours 480 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: are spent let's just saying um in a different world. 481 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: In terms of vocation, it's not always armed robberies, it's 482 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: not always right. Sometimes just traffic stops right, which can 483 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: be deadly. Though, and think about that level of anxiety 484 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: and apprehension. Every time a cop checks in, logs in 485 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: for his eight hours. I'm not gonna make them sympathetic 486 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: in this moment because I think that that would be insensitive. 487 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: But we gotta go through these steps so we can 488 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: understand what's really at play. So you got someone who 489 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: has heightened awareness for the negative. Their suspicions are validated 490 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: every single day in every single way. They look for bad, 491 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: they see bad, they think bad, they react to bad. 492 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: Even the traffic stop is a bad thing, right, you 493 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: did something wrong. You could be sitting there with your 494 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: hands on ten and two and turn down your radio 495 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: and roll down your window and act like you the 496 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: old lady that just didn't see that red light. But 497 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: to a cop, you may have a weapon. So this 498 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: is their conditioning, and they're holding their breath every time 499 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,719 Speaker 1: they come to your car. They don't want to talk 500 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: about it because they're supposed to be tough, they're supposed 501 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: to be the authority. But that's what they're feeling. Meanwhile, 502 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: what are we feeling? Where the citizens? Where the civilians? 503 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: We're sitting there like, I hope I got a good cop. 504 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: Right because of that lack of public trust, you're sitting there, like, 505 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't have a bad day. I hope 506 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: he's not having a bad day, right, because of that 507 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: lack of public trust. And now we're playing percentages, right, 508 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: cop is calculating the odds of this person actually being 509 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: someone who has a gun and would actually use it, 510 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: doesn't respect quote unquote the authority of my badge, And 511 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: we're running the same percentages. What's the odds of this 512 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: being just a good cop versus one of those road cops. 513 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: And we're both playing on the margins, we're both playing 514 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: on the extremes because the chances of you getting that 515 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: training day cop slim, but not none, but slim. And 516 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: the chances of you being the one that got the 517 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: strap underneath the car seat like cousin Harold, slim but 518 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: not none. This is a dangerous place to be, y'all, 519 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: very dangerous place. That's why we need police reform and 520 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: we need citizen reform. Yeah, I said it. Police reform 521 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: is pretty obvious, but it's not gonna work fully because 522 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: of the psychology of the job. Like you know, we 523 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: always talk about football players and y'all got a little 524 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: something off, like y'all a little crazy something about being 525 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: a cop, whether you walk into it that way or 526 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna leave this way. You just gotta look at 527 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: life through ends of negativity. They don't trust us. And 528 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: then when we look at cops because of all these incidents, 529 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: and I don't want to blow him out of proportion, 530 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: because most cops are great, are good, Most citizens that 531 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: get pulled over are great or good. But we are 532 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 1: talking about the margins the extremes. How do we reconcile this? 533 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: How do we resolve this? Who hasn't been pulled over? 534 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: I have? Who hasn't held their birth I have? And 535 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't because of my race? And why wasn't it 536 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: because of my race? Because I've been pulled over by 537 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: black cops before. The worst instance, the worst example ever 538 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: have of a police encounter was actually with a black cop. 539 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: And I know James Baldwin talked about that, how the 540 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: black cop has to prove that he's not like the 541 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: black citizen or the black person he's pulling over, so 542 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: he tried extra hard, goes a hundred and ten percent 543 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 1: for the force in the blue badge. And I can 544 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: see some of that, But what I always used as 545 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: my mindset is I'm playing percentages and I'm not gonna 546 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: give them any inkling, any anything to think that I 547 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: am over here trying to go rogue. I am compliant. 548 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: Call me a punk, call me someone who doesn't know 549 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: their rights. I know my rights. And I got the 550 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: right to stay alive, and I got the right to 551 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: remain silent. I got the right to comply. I got 552 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: the right to not have a day on the concrete 553 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: but a day in court. And you can call me 554 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: any name you want, but call me alive. And it 555 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: doesn't always go that neatly. It doesn't always go that 556 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: way for everybody. Right, you can comply and still get killed. 557 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: Oh and let's be real, and that's the narrative for 558 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: white people that get pulled over. You can can you 559 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: can resist, you can be disruptive, you could be uncle 560 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: operative and still survive. And we've seen that go both ways. 561 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: But we know what the narrative says. This was just bad, 562 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: how brutal it was. Uh, not going into the details, 563 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: because I think they're still developing. I've seen the video. 564 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: Who hasn't seen the video, who doesn't have a kid, son, daughter, 565 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: especially me, young black son obviously big boy, my son 566 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: is seven. He looks ten, plays ball like he's twelve, 567 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: little beast, and I look at him, and you have 568 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: those conflicting thoughts. The narrative, the reality wants to grab 569 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: me and say, Mark saw us look out for that 570 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: boy and give him speech. Then my reality kicks in 571 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: and says, I don't give a damn if your son 572 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: wasn't black. I don't give it damn. If your son 573 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: wasn't black or big, I don't give a damn. Your 574 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: son wasn't black or big, or cooperative or a good 575 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: kid of character. M what do you do? I'm telling 576 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: my son always try his damness by percentages, and we 577 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: know his parents. This is not even to not get 578 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: in trouble. But as I speak as a former thief YEP, 579 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: a guy who has committed assault before, the guy who's 580 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: found himself in fire but never got burnt, thankfully by 581 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: grace and mercy, I'm not betting on even for my son. 582 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: So in no extreme moments, those margins, those few instances, 583 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: there can't be deeper prayers you have for your child, 584 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: especially if the narrative it's true to those cops that 585 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: pull him over at that time that he sees someone 586 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: who's more violent in my son? If he generalizes my son, 587 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: and if my son generalizes police officers, that is a 588 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: collision course that can end up in death. And we've 589 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: seen it all too often. What has it been thirty 590 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: thirty years since that Rodney King incident in l A. 591 00:37:52,360 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: Riots and I lived through that. Tanks, tanks, tanks on 592 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: my street, going down the neighborhood, arson everywhere, everything burning up, 593 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: store owners, neighbors, guns on their roof, guns walking down 594 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: the street. I walked into a story five seconds after 595 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: walking off, walking away, boom lit up. What's gonna happen 596 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: with these situations, unfortunately, is an imperfect pill that we 597 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: all have to swallow, and I don't want to have 598 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: to swallow that pill, but I do know there's a 599 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 1: way to navigate that gives you the best percentage chance 600 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: to surviving. And you would think that in the world, 601 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: you should be able to say, for a hundred percent 602 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: of the times I would survive getting pulled over, But 603 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: that's not the case. You want to know why, because 604 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: who got pulled over is not perfect, and who pulled 605 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: you over is not perfect, And if anything gets out 606 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: of place in that anxiety field, stressful moment of those interactions, 607 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: and we see it, right, you take off, you're not complying. 608 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh strike one. Uh, he's coming in hot with with 609 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: an attitude against you for whatever reason. Oh strike one, 610 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: strike two. Like it's so hard, right, Some cops just started, 611 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: some some people get pulled over, just started. But no 612 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: one should lose their life over it. But if you 613 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: look at all the mental dynamics that play with imperfect beings, 614 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: that is not how you roll the dice. That is 615 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: not how you play the game. That is not how 616 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: you have a winning hand. So so far, so so blessed. 617 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: But I can't lie. I have anxiety all the time. 618 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: And it's not because of a narrative, because of the reality. 619 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 1: No matter how you formed the conversation, no how now, 620 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: no matter how much you've talked police reform or citizen trust, 621 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: no matter how you say all of these things, it 622 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: doesn't just add up to everyone being safe. And that's 623 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: what's most disturbing. That's what's most disturbing. Okay, I gotta 624 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 1: get out of this place, right. A lot of dark 625 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: stories right now, let's like, no, let's talk about my ex. 626 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: Excuse me, my ex ish man. People been hitting me up, 627 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: and I've been seeing it my exes out there tripping, uh, 628 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: Jason Whitlock, Emmanuel. I show my guys they're always gonna 629 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: be my friends, even if they get mad at me, 630 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: but they know me. I talk about everybody with the 631 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: same amount of truth. And if you're my friend, I 632 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: really talk about you because we're the home. You know 633 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: me better than them. Let's talk about what's going on 634 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: right now, because this is a thing. You can't google 635 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: their names without me popping up. Oh, pretty fat faced 636 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: image of me. Hey buddy, oh man, and vice versa. 637 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: Like you google their names, here, I go, hey buddy, right, 638 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: oh man. But everybody hits me up publicly and privately 639 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: as well. Right. I know so many famous people that 640 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: you're hitting me up talking about what's up with your boy? 641 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: What's up with your boy? They ain't tweeting that out 642 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 1: and we go there, Oh man, Let's talk about it 643 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 1: because my last four years at Fox, I took strays 644 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: for my boys, and I'm sure they took strays from me. 645 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: Everybody didn't like my Black Lives matter. Uh, well, you 646 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: call that response, but you know me. I don't come 647 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: with hate. They only say I'm a hater because tell 648 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: the truth too early. That's the only reason I get 649 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: called a hater, and not everybody like my Colin Kaepernick 650 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: takes and still don't. But if you listen to me, 651 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: I had so many people come up to me when 652 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm in public. They'd be like, man, I used to 653 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: hate your ass because I'm like, why are you how's 654 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: this conversation going?

And then they'd be like, 656 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 1: but I started listening to you for real. I hear you, 657 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: I hear you, I feel you, Like, okay, we goold like. 658 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: I don't come from hate, man, I just don't. I 659 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: come from real though. But my co hosts have taken 660 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: strays for me before, as I'm taking strays for them 661 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: right now. God damn, y'all, calm down, let's talk about it. 662 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: Um Van let them another one of my boys, but 663 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: not a co host. I've been on his podcast before 664 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: where we had an uncomfortable conversation. We went there and 665 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: I didn't shy away from it. He didn't shy away 666 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: from it. We didn't beef. We still talk on the 667 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: phone in person, go to each other's parties, et cetera. 668 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: That's discord, right, that's public discourse and private home. He 669 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: talk like, dog, I'm not about to lose my friend 670 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: over some conversation. And if I do, I want the 671 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: right conversation obviously, right, like we're talking about things outside 672 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: of us and we're having a conversation. So Van length 673 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: and interviews and Manuel, let's start without you and that interview. 674 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: Just then wanted to go in and Acho wanted to 675 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: get out. That's the simplest way I can say it, 676 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: get and I have. Van was like I'm going in 677 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: and that's what that was, right, And I'm like, okay, 678 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: but you can't go out. You can't get out. You 679 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: gotta stay here because you're there. And Vans like, I'm 680 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: going in and I'm coming in hot. Van was in 681 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: goal line defense, even on the fifth yard line. He 682 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: was like um um and Acho was like yo, I 683 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: want to play for next ball or you know, just 684 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: all time out. And the way I felt watching it, 685 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 1: I was like entertaining. But God, they left a lot 686 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: of meat on that bone because I Chow wasn't a 687 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 1: willing participant. He said, uh, I wasn't prepared for this, 688 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,800 Speaker 1: you know. The publicist notes and what we're really supposed 689 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: to talk about. Yeah, but right, the butt is I 690 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: chow as an orator. That dude can talk talk and 691 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: he's smart, so he could have figured it out. First 692 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: of all, I don't even do that, but I chose 693 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: a brand. He ain't like me. I ain't got no 694 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: whole team, Like, give me every question or what we're 695 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna talk about, and you can tell me what we're 696 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: talking about. I don't give it that what you say, 697 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 1: whatever you ask in my answer because it ain't that hard. 698 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm sophisticated, right, And if you're sophisticated, I chow sophisticated, 699 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,439 Speaker 1: get through it, but don't be dismissive. And I thought 700 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: that was bad because I cho could have he could 701 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: have played Vans roll up and still got what he 702 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: wanted out of it and then hip and then they 703 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't have this beef on Twitter now. But they have 704 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: this beef on Twitter now, and I'm all in it, right, 705 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: And so I'm sitting there seeing tweet at the tweet 706 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: and I'm like, damn, that's funny. Oh damn, that's gangster. Damn. 707 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: I want to like that one. And then I was like, 708 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: I gotta do it. You gotta be me, you know 709 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,919 Speaker 1: what I mean, that's between them. I'm not picking a side. 710 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm just going with where the truth takes me. Right. Well, 711 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, I'm like, damn, why don't y'all do 712 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: this when y'all are in front of each other? But 713 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,879 Speaker 1: Accho probably felt like VAM, you're over committing to one thing, 714 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: and these uncomfortable conversations. Man, it's like, I'm being authentic 715 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: when you ain't here, I hate on your ass when 716 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: you here, I'm coming in and I'm going in. I 717 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: chose like, all right, I'm goun't prepared for this, so 718 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going there. But I wish they would have 719 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: went there, because if anything is an uncomfortable conversation with 720 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: a black man, it is two black men having an 721 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversation, right, one Nigerian American and one van Lathen 722 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: wherever you want to call him a Louisianian. Right, they 723 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 1: should have went there. Damn. White people are so scared 724 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: these days to go at it. We learned from that 725 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: that onion makes you cry. But bore them layers. You 726 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: gotta pull them back. They're tasty, man. That's the that's 727 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 1: the right seasoning and the right spices. You need to 728 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: go beyond these meat and potato binary conversations we keep having. 729 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: But that was interesting because I know everybody got caught 730 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 1: up in that, and I got obviously part of that wash. 731 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: Um I'm not taking a side. Um Van went there 732 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: emotional Butler's gang stuff. I should. I wish I had 733 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: that as wiley as the first. UMO handed himself with class, 734 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 1: you know. But sometimes, and I'm guilty of this, that 735 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: high road ship ain't for everybody. Man, funk that tell 736 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: that for what you feel like. I'm classy too, But 737 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: I guess the root of class is asked, and I'm 738 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: gonna show you. You showing your ass, I'm gonna show 739 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: my ass. I show should have showed his ass, because 740 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: I think he could have had a better conversation. He 741 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: came out of that and now y'all lighten them up, 742 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: and I don't think that's appropriate, but I think he 743 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: asked for it. When you don't want to go there, 744 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 1: you know what they say, you keep your mouth closed, 745 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna as soon and they're gonna make an ass 746 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: out of you. Hand me so and they're making the 747 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: ass out of you and they're trying to throw me 748 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: in it. Trust me, I know what you're doing and 749 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: I know why y'all feel that way. But my other 750 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: co host before um, Jason Whitlock, another one of the 751 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,439 Speaker 1: guys that privately is the homie. I know y'all don't 752 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 1: like Whitlock. Some of y'all. I know a lot of 753 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: y'all love Whitlock. Trust me, I get both. So if 754 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 1: you don't like Whitlock, you don't get all the love 755 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: Winlock gets because you don't like them, and the algorithm 756 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,919 Speaker 1: is rigging it for you. And if you love with Lock, 757 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: then you don't know how many people hate them, probably 758 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: or you do because we're like always talks about it. 759 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: But the algorithm is rigging it for you too, right, 760 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: giving you more of what you want, keeping you in 761 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: your echo chamber teen message. I'm in the middle of 762 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: it because I'm like, I agree with this, I agree 763 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 1: with this, I agree with this. Watching Fearless, Oh man, 764 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: why do you say that? Why do you say that? Oh? 765 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 1: That was dope? But why did he say this one? 766 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: He blamed the death? M hmm. How do you blame 767 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: a death for? Tyree Nichols on Baby Mama Culture single 768 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 1: mama culture, right, and those are two things getting conflated 769 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,959 Speaker 1: in this moment. But I know what he's trying to say, 770 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: but you shouldn't have tried um, and more importantly, you 771 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 1: shouldn't have said it right now. I think it's what 772 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 1: people were saying. It's kind of in that Skip Bayless 773 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: moment of like, is this the time to say that? 774 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: And it's it's appropriate, and don't term it single mama, 775 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:55,280 Speaker 1: baby mama because it's absentee father and where's daddy instead 776 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,919 Speaker 1: of like, you know, like balancing out. But that's my boy. 777 00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: I can't lying. I know y'all don't like him. Some 778 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 1: of y'all, Oh well, Um, I'm gonna listen to him 779 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: every single time, and I'm gonna give him his respect 780 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: when necessary. Um, this moment caught me in some some 781 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: strays caught me, you know, shrapnel hitting me. That's your friend, 782 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 1: that's your boy. No one agrees with everything I say, 783 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: so I hope I don't agree with everything they say. 784 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: And if I do, and if they do, we ain't 785 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 1: friends because we don't exist. Keep it real. But while 786 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: y'all lighting his ass up, lighting them up, I couldn't 787 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 1: believe it. It was wild too. I listened to the interview, 788 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, but who doesn't happen? I mean, 789 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: if you say enough words, make enough comments, me, I 790 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: got I stepped in it before too, So I'm looking 791 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: at this situation like, yeah, well, like you did too 792 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 1: much on this one. Um, it's it's just a conflation, 793 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, Like they are great kids from single mama's. 794 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: They're great like the culture at home. We gotta fix 795 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,320 Speaker 1: the nuclear family, y'all. We gotta fix family, fix the family, 796 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: fix the future. He knows we're like, and I know 797 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: we're on the same page with that, But that doesn't 798 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: mean when things go awry you blame one parent, and 799 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,800 Speaker 1: actually the parent that's doing the more responsible thing, even 800 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: though they may fail in that moment, they're even more 801 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: responsible than the absent one, who certainly is setting that 802 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: kid up for failure. So I get where he was 803 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: trying to go. I get his heart in that one. 804 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: But boy, not only bad timing, but bad some nation. Um. 805 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: I don't think it applied here, but that's how the 806 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: game goes. Um My two dogs love y'all. And when 807 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 1: I step in it, sorry, they're gonna light youall asses 808 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: up too. But y'all bringing out receipts.

There are boundaries to that, and I'm 929 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: liking that people are starting to highlight those boundaries, starting 930 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 1: to put those boundaries in check and checking the people 931 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 1: who cross them, Like let's go to war.

We don't need that. 947 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 1: But they turned on them, and it was sad to 948 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: see kind of because not only did they do it, 949 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 1: but they left it up like they Jerry Jones approved. 950 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: Huh m hmm. I thought that was really interesting. Not 951 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 1: only did they do it, but they left it up 952 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 1: like yeah, you know, middle finger to the face, what 953 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: to do? What you're gonna do? Um.

Basically, 956 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: you go up there and swing once or they get 957 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 1: one by you. It's just strike one, but you're that 958 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 1: much closer to striking out right, but you ain't going 959 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: to where right now? And that's what this situation is, 960 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 1: that that ain't going to where right now? But they 961 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 1: lay in that found date try on and you're like, oh, 962 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,040 Speaker 1: that's what that's what we do.

I never drink again if you just 1067 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: let me live tonight. But you can't stop the avalanche, 1068 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 1: you can't stop the bum rush. And all I remember 1069 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 1: is there was this outdoor shower and I was so lit. 1070 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 1: I thought taking the outdoor shower would wake me up. 1071 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: But that's only when you slightly hydrated, when you were 1072 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:44,959 Speaker 1: in this situation, hydration situation. I was in that water 1073 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,959 Speaker 1: gonna just magnified, just amplified. So I got in there. 1074 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: I remember getting in there and I was like holding 1075 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 1: the water. WHOA. Then I try to turn around, slip 1076 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: fail back. I was like damn. And then I'm getting up. 1077 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm fine, but I'm getting up. And I guess because 1078 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: I am fine. It was like girls looking and laughing, 1079 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 1: and one of them was like walking towards me and 1080 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,040 Speaker 1: all I know, and I was sitting there like, oh, 1081 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:21,400 Speaker 1: this is about the big cracking bachelor party starting. And 1082 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 1: then my boys come in, like Cavalry the hater squad, 1083 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: let me call him. In that moment, I'm litting, I'm like, oh, 1084 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: I mean them girls probably bigger than me. I don't know, 1085 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: but I'm like, oh, they're coming over here and they 1086 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 1: looking at me. I'm pumped. I still back up, and 1087 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 1: then my boys, uh, They're like hell no, no, no 1088 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 1: blocking me. And they were blocking because the camera phones 1089 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 1: and videos and they're like, man, them girls put you 1090 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,439 Speaker 1: on TMZ right now. I like, for what, being drunk 1091 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 1: at my own bachelor party, Like they ain't no crime 1092 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 1: that hasn't been in somewhere, Like, yeah it is. That 1093 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: was good when I came alive. That was a good joke, 1094 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: good timing right there, good time. Oh the hell gets 1095 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 1: arrested for being drunk. Stop it, y'all grow up, do better. 1096 01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Speaking of doing better, um, I think a lot of 1097 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:16,799 Speaker 1: people are still having the conversation uh duly noted about 1098 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 1: the NFL hiring practice, especially with black coaches, after seeing 1099 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,080 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes not get the job in Carolina. Mm hmm. 1100 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 1: This show is called more to it, so guess what. 1101 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 1: There's more to it than just color. Um. Look, he 1102 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:39,400 Speaker 1: got six of the Panther seven wins, so people were like, yo, 1103 01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 1: he's gonna keep the job, right, yeah, six or seven? Yeah, 1104 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: that's great. But then they were like, um, he not 1105 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:51,200 Speaker 1: the right man for the job. It's frank right right, 1106 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: all right, And obviously there's a color difference there. So 1107 01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:01,720 Speaker 1: all right, what's really going on? Let me first do 1108 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 1: some technical reading the attorney for Steve Wilkes said he 1109 01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 1: he was disappointed that Carolina hired Frank Wright. Um, this 1110 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: is his quote. Already there's a legitimate race problem in 1111 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. And we could assure you that we will 1112 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: have more to say in the coming days. Now he's 1113 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:24,200 Speaker 1: already a part of the Brian Flora's lawsuits, Steve Wilkes, 1114 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,639 Speaker 1: so I'm sure there will be more I said about this. 1115 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this. The only layer I would add 1116 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:38,120 Speaker 1: to this is never really give it even different contexts, 1117 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 1: greater context Um, we all know nepotism, we all know 1118 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,840 Speaker 1: crony ism. You hire your circle, you hire your family, 1119 01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:54,840 Speaker 1: you hire your friend. Um, Frank Wright, you can't. You 1120 01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: can't really call him a slouch as a head coach 1121 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 1: despite not working out in Indianapolis. Um, you can just 1122 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 1: say he can find a quarterback. Therefore you can do something. Well, 1123 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:07,720 Speaker 1: you're going in a situation where they really don't have 1124 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback, so good luck with that. But just staying 1125 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 1: in the race lends with this one. Here's something that 1126 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: doesn't get discussed enough, and I'm going to bring like 1127 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,800 Speaker 1: to it because everybody knows this, but I don't know 1128 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 1: why nobody really wants to go there. I've been there 1129 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: a couple of times before. But let's go again, not 1130 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: this example, because Steve Wilkes certainly qualified for this job. 1131 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 1: I don't know his relationship status with the ownership, and 1132 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: I don't know Frank Wrights. But Frank Wright qualifies, Steve 1133 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: Wilkes qualifies. Okay, so let's throw this one out. But 1134 01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 1: this sparks a greater conversation because there's more to it 1135 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: in general when you talk about black NFL head coaches 1136 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,960 Speaker 1: versus white NFL head coaches. Let's just start with the 1137 01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,480 Speaker 1: averages before we get to the edges to the extremes. 1138 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: There are more white players, former players, or just white 1139 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 1: ball playing lovers trying to coach then black. I'm gonna 1140 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 1: say it again, there are more people on the line 1141 01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:27,559 Speaker 1: of white coaches, not just because they're more white people 1142 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 1: then black. Okay, we know that, right, Like, that's not 1143 01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: that difficult to digest it. And if so, man, have 1144 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 1: fun with your friends. Man, you know, we're the black 1145 01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: people levcent of this country. And then now you're gonna say, oh, oh, 1146 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,679 Speaker 1: they're more black coaches. No they're not. They're not more 1147 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: black coaches than waiting there are more white that's part one. 1148 01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,519 Speaker 1: That's a simple I hope you can can't argue that one. 1149 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 1: I hope you don't argue that one. If not, If 1150 01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,280 Speaker 1: you do, you're gonna miss me. Okay, let's go from there. 1151 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: My summation through experience has been this, the white player 1152 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: is jumping in that line earlier than the black player. Now, 1153 01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: when that happens in general society, we usually blame exposure. Right, 1154 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 1: you weren't exposed to it. A black person wasn't explode 1155 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,479 Speaker 1: exposed to it. The white player was exposed to it, 1156 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: but not in this context. We all know football, and 1157 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:29,760 Speaker 1: we all know if you're gonna be a coach or 1158 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna be a grad assistant, you're gonna have to 1159 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: slum it out. You're gonna have to get get take 1160 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,840 Speaker 1: your lumps, build your resume, get to get in early. Right, 1161 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 1: And typically I've seen whether that grind wasn't appealing to 1162 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:53,719 Speaker 1: my black teammates versus my white teammates, or regardless of appeal, 1163 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 1: the white player jumped in there earlier in general, to 1164 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 1: the point where I like, okay, not only do they 1165 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,480 Speaker 1: have a greater group in terms of numbers, aggregate numbers 1166 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,760 Speaker 1: to pull from. But in terms of how long they've 1167 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:16,520 Speaker 1: been in the grinder processor building their resume, earlier longer, 1168 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 1: you could say, because well, they didn't have a chance 1169 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,080 Speaker 1: to go pro like the brother did you go there? 1170 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,639 Speaker 1: But I'm talking about pro on pro. I'm talking about 1171 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 1: in my locker room. How many dudes at what age 1172 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,559 Speaker 1: did it hit them? I'm gonna be a coach. That 1173 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,479 Speaker 1: age is younger in general for white than black, just 1174 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 1: where it was. Maybe it's changed, but there's still a 1175 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 1: longer line because it's more of them, and they get 1176 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: in there as early, if not earlier than black. Then 1177 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:51,080 Speaker 1: black coaches in waiting. Now, those two things are obviously 1178 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 1: gonna rig the hiring practice. We ain't even got two relationships. 1179 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,719 Speaker 1: We haven't even gotten to qualifications. We haven't even gotten 1180 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:04,559 Speaker 1: to how you get to the front of that line. 1181 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,920 Speaker 1: But I think what we do and I think it's 1182 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 1: lazy for real, But hey, we live life on the 1183 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,640 Speaker 1: edges extremes. Like we only talk about the best of 1184 01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:17,200 Speaker 1: the best. There is a closer gap. There is a 1185 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 1: leveling of the playing field when you talk about the 1186 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 1: best black coaches and the best white coaches. Yeah, because 1187 01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 1: they're both qualified. But then in terms of the depth 1188 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 1: of the qualification and how many are as qualified, that's 1189 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 1: when we need to start digging into the conversation. But 1190 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,679 Speaker 1: we don't. We just say, hey, he good, he good, 1191 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 1: he good, he good, But then we don't really understand 1192 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 1: our discussed that quantity. We like to make it only 1193 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: a quality conversation. And that's interesting because I like to 1194 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 1: go both Um, you have more from one side than 1195 01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:03,559 Speaker 1: another side, but that shouldn't exclude either side. But when 1196 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 1: we get to that place where okay, who is in rotation? 1197 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,880 Speaker 1: Like being real, let's just you who's the top black 1198 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,479 Speaker 1: candidate right now? Steve Wooks, Okay, give it to him, 1199 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,759 Speaker 1: Eric the Enemy, give it to him by Byron Leftwish 1200 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,400 Speaker 1: one year ago. It's already man, And that's my boy. 1201 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 1: Went from okay, penthouse to oh no. But that happens 1202 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 1: for the white coaches too, like the best white available 1203 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:38,840 Speaker 1: coaches who Sean Payton. That's different, y'all. That ain't Steve Wooks, Um, 1204 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 1: Jim Harball, that's different. You see what I'm saying here. 1205 01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 1: So you can have a quality conversation, you have a 1206 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: quantity conversation. We don't have the quantity conversation, I think 1207 01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,680 Speaker 1: on purpose because we know it's a greater number with 1208 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 1: white coaches. But even right now, in this moment, no 1209 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: matter how much Rooney rule you over here trying to 1210 01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 1: profess right now, do a BCS ranking through a ranking 1211 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 1: of who's the best coaches? M Content of character, as 1212 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:13,599 Speaker 1: they say, content of resume. Write them down, y'all write 1213 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 1: them down. Oh m hmm, what number is the first 1214 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,719 Speaker 1: black coach that's available? It's interesting. So I just saw 1215 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:23,919 Speaker 1: that story and I just wanted to add the quality 1216 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 1: versus quantity conversation to it because you know me, man, 1217 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,559 Speaker 1: I think it's just the wrong game to play when 1218 01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 1: you racialize everything or to a greater extent than it exists. 1219 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: NFL is trying it is best to legislate interests, trying 1220 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 1: to legislate desire into this conversation with the Rooney rule. 1221 01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,599 Speaker 1: I said it twenty years ago. I'm gonna say it now. 1222 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 1: The Rooney rule won't work. The only thing that's gonna 1223 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 1: work is competency. The only thing that's gonna work. And 1224 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:03,839 Speaker 1: competency is not just do you qualify. It's on both sides, 1225 01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 1: white and black. How qualified are you? You could be 1226 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,120 Speaker 1: so qualified if you're white or black that you can 1227 01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,120 Speaker 1: just take time off and then people be like, yo, 1228 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 1: we still need him. Jim Harbaugh, whether it's him or 1229 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 1: Sean Payton or if Tony Dunge. The mass said, you 1230 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:24,440 Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking about coaching? What you're gonna say? 1231 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 1: Oh no, you see what I'm saying. Y'all need to stop. 1232 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,720 Speaker 1: So let's just make sure we're looking at it the 1233 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,799 Speaker 1: right way because things are different. Things have changed. Speaking 1234 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 1: of change, the NBA has announced that the All Star 1235 01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,440 Speaker 1: Game has some changes in terms of the team selection. 1236 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,720 Speaker 1: I like this, all right. First of all, the All 1237 01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,880 Speaker 1: Star reserves chosen by coaches. That's gonna happen in February. Second, 1238 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,840 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, Lebron James team captain Joannice. I ain't 1239 01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 1: gonna ever say his last name because I'm not without 1240 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,639 Speaker 1: you anymore. And I choke on he said, say who 1241 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,839 Speaker 1: used to kill that glass name? I can't do a coopo, 1242 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,720 Speaker 1: I thought to COOPO. I told through that Nigerian on 1243 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,920 Speaker 1: that thing. That thing is sound different. Okay, So anyway, 1244 01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 1: let's talk about what it is now. All Stars the 1245 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 1: reserve team, which side you're on Yannis team yannest a 1246 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:25,400 Speaker 1: team Lebron. We'll be decided right before tip off in 1247 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 1: a draft between Lebron and Jannice, like right before the game. 1248 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,920 Speaker 1: Death's dope. That is dope. You got this one right 1249 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 1: in b A. Oh I love this. So you know 1250 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 1: you an All Star, but you don't know you're playing 1251 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 1: with Lebron, you're playing with Yannese and who else you're 1252 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,559 Speaker 1: playing with. Oh this is so school yard, like I got, 1253 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 1: I got, I got Steph uh no, no, no, I got, 1254 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,800 Speaker 1: I got. No no, I can't take him, damn it. 1255 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:54,360 Speaker 1: Oh God, or it's gonna be so sick Jackson. Take 1256 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 1: him over here, Steph, Curry over there, Luke over there, 1257 01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 1: Yaks over there, and beat over there like they're gon. 1258 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 1: I got I got. The reason I say I got 1259 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 1: because there's two things I always tell my team, because 1260 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 1: every practice I make them pick their own team, because 1261 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:11,680 Speaker 1: I want them to understand what competition looks like. Competition 1262 01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,719 Speaker 1: starts where you compete against yourself first, then you compete 1263 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,920 Speaker 1: against your teammates social circle second, and then you compete 1264 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 1: against the world at large your opponent last. And I 1265 01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 1: love it when everybody's sitting there like, oh, that's the homie, 1266 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:27,880 Speaker 1: and he ain't the homie right now because he gotta 1267 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:30,799 Speaker 1: pick a better team. You gotta pick the best teammate. 1268 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 1: He ain't looking at you like we the homie, like 1269 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:37,679 Speaker 1: you know if I'm Lebra and I'm like, damn, Katie 1270 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 1: my dog. But I gotta tell you Anthony Davis, but 1271 01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,720 Speaker 1: he my teammate too. But then I can't take kd 1272 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,759 Speaker 1: next because I gotta get Yoki. I lead a center 1273 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: like sick. But I make my my kids always pick 1274 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 1: because I want them to feel that the apprehension, that 1275 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 1: little weirdness, that anxiety of like, oh that's my boy. 1276 01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,760 Speaker 1: But I know what I not what I want to do, 1277 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 1: but what I need to do right. NBA nailed this 1278 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:07,680 Speaker 1: one man, because they're gonna make them do is go 1279 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,280 Speaker 1: out there and ruin some relationships and in the sake 1280 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,479 Speaker 1: of hey, I just got to get the best thing 1281 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 1: for me. So it's gonna be funny to watch that. 1282 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm pumped for the All Star Game, not pumped for 1283 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, but I'm going to watch the Pro 1284 01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 1: Bowl to see should I eat Crow? Because there's no 1285 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 1: way I believe this Pro Bowl is gonna make sense 1286 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 1: and be something that is entertaining and good for the brand, 1287 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 1: like flag football. We just saw y'all playing real football 1288 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 1: and y'all about to play some flag football. There's a 1289 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,800 Speaker 1: part of me that's like, I hope I'm wrong. I 1290 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,120 Speaker 1: pray I'm wrong. Oh, I want to see me be 1291 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: wrong on this one. But when they got to the 1292 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,040 Speaker 1: point where they were just running by a ball carriers 1293 01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:50,519 Speaker 1: and tapping them too hand in touch, I was like, Oh, 1294 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: it's wrap. And then I was like, beyond that, it's 1295 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,160 Speaker 1: just funny to watch because nobody wants to play extra football. 1296 01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 1: I told y'all, nobody chooses football. Football chooses them. And 1297 01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 1: when I played in the Pro Bowl and back in 1298 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:08,719 Speaker 1: those days, it was after the season, man fool. Look 1299 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 1: whether we didn't make the playoffs, we gotta wait a 1300 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 1: month and didn't play real football, boys stop, Boys stop, 1301 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 1: Or you just made the Super Bowl, you gotta wait 1302 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,759 Speaker 1: a week and play real football again, boys stop. Nobody's 1303 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:24,200 Speaker 1: trying to play real football, extra real football. Nobody. There's 1304 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 1: no unconditional love for football except Dick buck Kiss and 1305 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 1: ray Lewis everybody else. I don't think they really love 1306 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 1: football to the fullest nobody right, like being real. Come on, 1307 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 1: that's why the Pro Bowl sucked. It sucked because it 1308 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 1: was like, man, ain't trying to do this, and let's 1309 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:44,440 Speaker 1: like I gotta do this, and that check gotta validate 1310 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 1: me doing this. Right, So that's the game playing right, 1311 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,680 Speaker 1: and they knew it and they were like, damn Pro 1312 01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 1: Bowl sucks. But it's in Hawhiti, so people are still 1313 01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,360 Speaker 1: like it and come right, then them numbers start going down, 1314 01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,599 Speaker 1: all right, forget it?

I watched that all day. 1329 01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 1: So point being, I hope the Pro Bowl is good 1330 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 1: because I am a naysayer. I am not feeling it. 1331 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,639 Speaker 1: Speaking of not feeling it, I'm not feeling the cons 1332 01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:02,840 Speaker 1: comments on men and women, y'all see this, Um, let 1333 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 1: me just say it. He's his quote is a woman 1334 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 1: can never compare to the man, not to a man 1335 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 1: to the man. Oh, he don't win Old Testament or something. 1336 01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't know where the hell he is. Quote one 1337 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,639 Speaker 1: woman need to understand their roles. Maybe he said women. 1338 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to make him sound like he can't speak. 1339 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 1: Women need to understand their roles. Oh. I think I've 1340 01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 1: learned in relationships that not only do women need to 1341 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:33,840 Speaker 1: understand their roles, but men as well. We both need 1342 01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 1: to understand our roles. They're not just rigidly or narrowly defined. 1343 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Our roles are roles. Are roles because I've been through 1344 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:49,400 Speaker 1: so many stages of role development. Now I'm gonna say 1345 01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 1: something bad and say something good. His comments sounds sexist, uninformed, 1346 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 1: and ill informed, which is different. But he did make 1347 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 1: soul survivor and locked up so so brought some mercy, 1348 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:08,559 Speaker 1: Like ain't kind of young, jeezs, Like that's parting right now. 1349 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,519 Speaker 1: You get partoned when you say stuff like that. But 1350 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 1: now let's get real with this. I grew up with 1351 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 1: my parents. Their roles weren't defined. At least it didn't 1352 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 1: look that way to me. Maybe I was too young 1353 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 1: to understand it, but I was like, they're not really defined. Okay. 1354 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 1: My daddy didn't take out the trash I did. My 1355 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: daddy brought home money. We were on welfare, but then 1356 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 1: we got off it food stamps, but we got off it. 1357 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,640 Speaker 1: My mom went to work, she brought home money. My 1358 01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 1: mom used to beat up my daddy sometimes. My dad 1359 01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 1: never started any fights, at least I saw. I think 1360 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 1: he was more of the like the verbal starter and 1361 01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 1: you're like, he's gonna instigate and then you're gonna throw 1362 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 1: the first point, like what you do? He threw his 1363 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,559 Speaker 1: rocks and hid his hands right. My mom used to 1364 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 1: put hands on my daddy. She six wants to fifty 1365 01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:01,680 Speaker 1: got them Paul's I was all over the places. I 1366 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 1: was like, who is who? I never grew up thinking, oh, 1367 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,719 Speaker 1: that's a man's job. My sister took out the trash 1368 01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:10,280 Speaker 1: with me. She also washed dishes. I had to wash dishes. 1369 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 1: She like washing them, so she did it more. I 1370 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 1: like the trash, so I did it more. I hate 1371 01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: it BACKU, man, like, what the hell? I don't know. 1372 01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,720 Speaker 1: But then I got into relationships, and that's probably why 1373 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 1: I was pretty bad at relationships. One because I didn't 1374 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,000 Speaker 1: want a relationship to work. I really wanted to sabotage 1375 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 1: them all. I wanted to be single, but just have 1376 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 1: somebody to boo up with, like to have a companion. 1377 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. Um. I think my purest of 1378 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,080 Speaker 1: hearts wanted to be married, especially when I was engaged 1379 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,600 Speaker 1: out of college. But that NFL was too fun. It was, 1380 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,759 Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a slice of heaven. 1381 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 1: I was like, hell no, everywhere I go, I'm noticed, 1382 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm loved, I'm appreciate it. I ain't even gotta get 1383 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 1: tattoos on my face to get girls to be interested in. Man. Stop. 1384 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,880 Speaker 1: But I didn't know roles. My role, starting with my role, 1385 01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 1: not her role. My role. So that was part one 1386 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 1: in every relationship. I started to tighten the boats on 1387 01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,880 Speaker 1: learning what a role looks like. I was like, Damn, 1388 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:20,080 Speaker 1: this is different, these dynamics different. Like bro, grow up. 1389 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:26,519 Speaker 1: You know what Kanye say? You know I always find out, 1390 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:31,880 Speaker 1: always find something wrong. You've been playing with my ship 1391 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 1: just played along. That song always grabs me in the 1392 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:40,639 Speaker 1: same place, deep in the heart. You mother sucker. I 1393 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,519 Speaker 1: was wrong, but I ain't gonna lie. Some of them 1394 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 1: girls wrong too. I knew what they wanted, their intentions anyway. 1395 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:50,640 Speaker 1: I didn't have great role definition or dynamics. Then I 1396 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 1: met my wife. Oh my god, we're still going through 1397 01:26:53,360 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 1: this tug of war, Dangel. We've been married eight going 1398 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 1: on nine years in June. Good lord, I'm still learning 1399 01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 1: about her. I'm still learning about me. I can't believe it. 1400 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 1: That's why I know we never getting divorced. Always threatened, though, 1401 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 1: I said, soon as that last kid out of the house, 1402 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 1: soon as Olivia's eighteen, she going to Columbia. Look at me, 1403 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, because that's why my parents did you know 1404 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 1: what I mean? There ain't nothing but my trauma speaking. 1405 01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 1: There ain't nothing but my my issues coming to life. 1406 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm projecting.

You're gonna think 1450 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:58,240 Speaker 1: she's seven. Um, I'm sure she heard that boys are 1451 01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:01,240 Speaker 1: better than girls. That's how little kids play, right, So 1452 01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 1: she had to flip it. M Jack, M Jack, girls 1453 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,960 Speaker 1: are better than bullies. I yep, I said girls are 1454 01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,799 Speaker 1: better than bullys. M J was like he was stuck, 1455 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,759 Speaker 1: you know one, because he didn't want to have an argument. 1456 01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:18,400 Speaker 1: He was watching his uh iPad, he was watching who 1457 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,320 Speaker 1: is he watching? Oh, pep Pepper Pig was coming on 1458 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:26,680 Speaker 1: for him and Captain Underpants. I wanted to him, but 1459 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:31,360 Speaker 1: too He was like, how do I respond to that 1460 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 1: without putting her down? And that's when daddy jumped in. 1461 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 1: And this is why it's so important to be involved parents, 1462 01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,479 Speaker 1: to be their parents. We'll get into those conversations later. 1463 01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,400 Speaker 1: The difference between the nuclear parent you're there and you're 1464 01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:47,519 Speaker 1: not there, but you're checking in, big difference. We'll get there. 1465 01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:51,240 Speaker 1: Another conversation and the media. I jump in. I said, 1466 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:53,360 Speaker 1: whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa? Because I don't want 1467 01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,000 Speaker 1: to like you know me, I don't like the map solutes. 1468 01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:58,679 Speaker 1: I don't like them. Alls all shouldn't speak for all. 1469 01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:02,040 Speaker 1: One shouldn't speak for all, should say And she said 1470 01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:07,160 Speaker 1: girls all are better than boys all And I said, no, Mama, 1471 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,639 Speaker 1: I said, some girls are better at some things, better 1472 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:14,360 Speaker 1: than boys. But then some boys are better than girls 1473 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,639 Speaker 1: at some things. And I can see her little eyebrow. 1474 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:20,000 Speaker 1: She looked at me and she got that ice cube 1475 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 1: eyebrow right now, like what you saying? You don't like girls. 1476 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, no, and I said, look, 1477 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:30,800 Speaker 1: MJ is faster than you. Now, he's also three years older, 1478 01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,160 Speaker 1: but he is faster than her. I said, and you're 1479 01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 1: more flexible than him. And then it lit up in 1480 01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,840 Speaker 1: her head. She's like, yep. She said, that's right, m J. 1481 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 1: When when you come home, you're gonna run, and I 1482 01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:44,880 Speaker 1: want to see you run your fastest. And when I 1483 01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 1: go home, I'm a flexible and I want to be 1484 01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 1: as flexible as I could be. I was like, that's 1485 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 1: not how you're you're flexible, But the point was taking. 1486 01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 1: She realized she had power in doing some things even 1487 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:58,080 Speaker 1: better than her brother. But he also was like, yep, 1488 01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,360 Speaker 1: I got power in doing things better, and that's how 1489 01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:05,040 Speaker 1: it should be nuanced, right, not absolute. You can do 1490 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,720 Speaker 1: some things better than your brother, and he could do 1491 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 1: some things better than you. But who runs the world. 1492 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:14,040 Speaker 1: Neither one of y'all, both of y'all, if anything. That's 1493 01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:16,679 Speaker 1: how we gotta look at it. Now, speaking of looking 1494 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,680 Speaker 1: at that stuff, let's look at the whole concept of 1495 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:23,720 Speaker 1: marriage differently. Because Lala Anthony just went out there has 1496 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:27,040 Speaker 1: some comments uh is her last name? To Anthony, she said, 1497 01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,639 Speaker 1: well have you have you divorced me and keep the name. 1498 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at you like, oh oh, I should have 1499 01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:35,720 Speaker 1: known from hello it wasn't gonna work. I wish it 1500 01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:38,840 Speaker 1: will be Anna Marie Wiley and we five years divorced. Like, girl, 1501 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,160 Speaker 1: you took all my money. Can't you take your Can 1502 01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:43,920 Speaker 1: I get my name back? You're taking myney, you're taking 1503 01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,759 Speaker 1: my money. I want my name at least right. Lala 1504 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:50,280 Speaker 1: Anthony thinks that most married people are quote miserable wrong, 1505 01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,679 Speaker 1: and that people don't want to get married anymore. Wrong. 1506 01:32:56,360 --> 01:33:02,599 Speaker 1: So divorced as just sound divorce just looking at life 1507 01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,760 Speaker 1: through what you're going through, your circumstances. That's how people 1508 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,080 Speaker 1: come to l A all the time. They're like, l 1509 01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 1: A is just full of Mercedes, and like Ferrari's wrong, 1510 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:15,200 Speaker 1: there are more Honda's, Hondas and Toyota's. You just maybe 1511 01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,960 Speaker 1: only looking at those things, or maybe you got one 1512 01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 1: and that's all you see. But miss me with that 1513 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:27,200 Speaker 1: selective perception, La la, who looks amazing in BMF Right now? 1514 01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,639 Speaker 1: I kind of saying, WHOA, I can see why. That's 1515 01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:34,439 Speaker 1: what's meet your brother? I forget his name. Uh dang 1516 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,320 Speaker 1: the other one whatever her name is, so like a 1517 01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 1: t he holling at her, I see why. Um, But 1518 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:45,519 Speaker 1: I got two of my best friends who have just 1519 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,160 Speaker 1: recently got divorced the last couple of years. So this 1520 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:52,160 Speaker 1: just sound like divorce talk, divorces in the air, divorces 1521 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,439 Speaker 1: in the air, and marriages in the air. That's why 1522 01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:57,040 Speaker 1: some of you people getting divorce because you get married, 1523 01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,920 Speaker 1: get divorced. Half of y'all at least. But she sounds 1524 01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:03,280 Speaker 1: like the person that got kicked out the party. And 1525 01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:05,000 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, the party was whacked. You 1526 01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,040 Speaker 1: were You were in that party for eleven years, Now 1527 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,280 Speaker 1: you're out. It's nobody didn't even like that part. Nobody 1528 01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:12,960 Speaker 1: even want to go there. The music so DJ week, 1529 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,080 Speaker 1: But was it that bad when you were in it? 1530 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:20,600 Speaker 1: Was it that bad when you got into it? You know, 1531 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:24,200 Speaker 1: the whitey is um. For every relationship that ends, you 1532 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:27,479 Speaker 1: spend half of that time breaking up. So five and 1533 01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:31,240 Speaker 1: a half years of eleven year marriage with Carmelo, the Beast, 1534 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 1: the Great Carmelo sound a little salty, but I know 1535 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,960 Speaker 1: she not because I do hear this conversation a lot. 1536 01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:44,559 Speaker 1: Are you happy, Marcels for real? Shut your ass? No, 1537 01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm unhappy and I'm staying um. I will say this 1538 01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:51,599 Speaker 1: to your point. It's a lot of work. And I've 1539 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:57,640 Speaker 1: never seen anybody go through work training, camp work, uh 1540 01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,760 Speaker 1: hours on Wall Street as an analyst, like real grindwork 1541 01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:08,120 Speaker 1: and say it's easy and say it's fun, or say 1542 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:13,040 Speaker 1: it's not miserable training kids, Yeah it's miserable. Did I 1543 01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:18,080 Speaker 1: quit the team? No? Uh. I think you gotta have 1544 01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,680 Speaker 1: a mindset about marriage that you getting married for yourself 1545 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:25,559 Speaker 1: first and your relationship first. You and how you're feeling 1546 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,880 Speaker 1: in that relationship them and how they're making you feel 1547 01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:31,439 Speaker 1: in that relationship. You guys in that union, you're getting 1548 01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:35,799 Speaker 1: married for yourself and that relationship first. But your ass 1549 01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:40,719 Speaker 1: better stay married for the kids. Like I ain't lying, 1550 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:47,320 Speaker 1: like the kids become the family, the unit becomes the glue. 1551 01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,759 Speaker 1: So you started to glue this together in the first 1552 01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:52,800 Speaker 1: place because of how you felt, how she felt, how 1553 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:56,920 Speaker 1: y'all felt. But what keeps, what takes it from Elmer's 1554 01:35:56,960 --> 01:36:00,920 Speaker 1: glue to crazy glue to like it just can't be 1555 01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:05,240 Speaker 1: pulled apart, has to be the family unit, you, her, her, 1556 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 1: You and them kids. Let me tell you why, because 1557 01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:16,439 Speaker 1: those kids are the recreation of yourself in essence, but 1558 01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 1: in a potentially greater form. And that's the beauty of 1559 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:25,280 Speaker 1: this circle of life, cycle of life if you do 1560 01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:30,360 Speaker 1: it that way, staying in that relationship. Oh the balancing 1561 01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,200 Speaker 1: act you give your kids. Me driving my daughter to 1562 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:40,519 Speaker 1: school today and telling her boys or girls, neither one 1563 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:45,559 Speaker 1: runs the world, neither one, we do both of y'all, 1564 01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,879 Speaker 1: that balancing that I would have missed that right. Divorce 1565 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,400 Speaker 1: makes you miss those moments. Divorce has you on the 1566 01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:55,000 Speaker 1: schedule work one week, you all in the other week, 1567 01:36:55,880 --> 01:37:00,800 Speaker 1: part time mama, part time daddy. And it just sad 1568 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 1: to see how family is just decaying, and worse, the 1569 01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:12,160 Speaker 1: concept of family is decaying. Most married people are miserable. 1570 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:17,960 Speaker 1: Most really maybe they're on that train to divorce because 1571 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,760 Speaker 1: I know a lot of happily married people who have 1572 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:25,080 Speaker 1: to work on it, who maybe looked at as miserable, 1573 01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,599 Speaker 1: but really they're just putting in work, and that's how 1574 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. We're not in the infatuation stage anymore. 1575 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,479 Speaker 1: We're not in the mall looking at her at hot 1576 01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:37,240 Speaker 1: dog on the stick anymore. It's not that it's real grind. 1577 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:42,360 Speaker 1: It's three kids looking at you saying, Mama, Mama, mama, daddy, 1578 01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:46,280 Speaker 1: need this, need this, want this, gotta have it, and 1579 01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:51,280 Speaker 1: you still gotta find time for yourself. I just don't 1580 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 1: think that all marriages are bad. Some marriages are, some aren't. 1581 01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that most married people are miserable. I 1582 01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:03,800 Speaker 1: think most married people are working on it and some 1583 01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 1: are going to found But don't get it twisted. You 1584 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 1: put in eleven grade years with the mellow, and um, 1585 01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm eight in, so how about me in three more 1586 01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 1: of it. Let me make sure I pass y'all before 1587 01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:19,680 Speaker 1: I start talking too much. But the concept of marriage, 1588 01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,960 Speaker 1: man is taking some hits. Hopefully guys like myself and 1589 01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,439 Speaker 1: others who stay with it, stay committed and understand it's 1590 01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:30,679 Speaker 1: about us and the family. Unit can uplift his image. Oh, 1591 01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:35,120 Speaker 1: let's talk about something that needs to be uplifted. All 1592 01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:38,679 Speaker 1: the talk about this article right here where men spend 1593 01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:43,240 Speaker 1: seven hours a year hiding in the bathroom. You know 1594 01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,439 Speaker 1: what needs to be uplifted, the male's ego. You know 1595 01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:52,240 Speaker 1: what needs to be uplifted. That men are emotional. We 1596 01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:54,880 Speaker 1: need to bring that conversation to like damn right, I 1597 01:38:54,880 --> 01:39:00,519 Speaker 1: said it. Men. Men are looking for escapism right, like 1598 01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:04,760 Speaker 1: like dignable planet. Sounds like a diggable planet song, right, escapism? 1599 01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 1: M hm hm yep. We go to the bathroom and 1600 01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:13,559 Speaker 1: high from our wives. Miserable was right. No, we go 1601 01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:16,240 Speaker 1: high from our kids, we go high from our boss, 1602 01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,240 Speaker 1: we go high from our employees.

And I'm like, damn, I'm living in 1617 01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:17,520 Speaker 1: the world where everyone wants to talk about the journey 1618 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:19,599 Speaker 1: and I just want to get to the destination.

Oh man, Let's talk about these badass kids 1646 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:58,479 Speaker 1: and this teacher that slams a kid for calling him 1647 01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,760 Speaker 1: the end word, and another video out there word this 1648 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:05,280 Speaker 1: girl is yelling at our teacher, you're not gonna put 1649 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,880 Speaker 1: your hands on me. But I don't think the teacher 1650 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:10,920 Speaker 1: put their hands on the girl. I'm not sure, but 1651 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:15,760 Speaker 1: all I know is seeing too many videos of these 1652 01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:20,960 Speaker 1: badass kids. I'm not gonna speculate on their backgrounds, their 1653 01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:24,479 Speaker 1: family situation and dynamics. Um, even though there are numbers 1654 01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:32,320 Speaker 1: to support stereotyping and guessing. UM educated guesses. I will say, 1655 01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:41,160 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'm looking at it like one, the 1656 01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,360 Speaker 1: inn word one. I didn't like the teacher in that moment, 1657 01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 1: because a teacher who gets called the N word has 1658 01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:51,320 Speaker 1: a moment to teach. He has uh, some conflicting messages, 1659 01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:53,840 Speaker 1: but it's time to talk through it. Black people know 1660 01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:57,040 Speaker 1: that it's a weird place to have the inn word 1661 01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:02,519 Speaker 1: conversation amongst others, because it's just makes you sound like 1662 01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:05,200 Speaker 1: the biggest hypocrite in the world. Oh man, I use 1663 01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:08,880 Speaker 1: it because it's uh it means king, or I say 1664 01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:11,760 Speaker 1: it because you know, I only say that he not 1665 01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:13,519 Speaker 1: the e er. Or I only say it as a 1666 01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,880 Speaker 1: term of endearment. Oh. So, you grab the poison, try 1667 01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 1: to distill it, and you know, purify it, and then 1668 01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:23,479 Speaker 1: throw it at somebody. Would you want some purified poison 1669 01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:28,320 Speaker 1: throwing at you? Nope? Oh man, the biggest hypocrite. License 1670 01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,640 Speaker 1: to say it everywhere I go out here. Some of 1671 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,080 Speaker 1: the homies I used to say it. First of all, disclaimer, 1672 01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:35,639 Speaker 1: I used to say it until like ten fifteen years ago. Whatever. 1673 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 1: Um um, so I'm not holier than that, y'all know me. Um, 1674 01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: But I don't say it anymore. Inn word. You say it, 1675 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:51,440 Speaker 1: license to say it in song and culture amongst the homies. 1676 01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:58,880 Speaker 1: But when the six one hundreds of millimeter, which is 1677 01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:04,240 Speaker 1: skin complexion and skin epidermis, when it's that depth, like 1678 01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:09,000 Speaker 1: if yours is white, oh, you can't say it. Even though. 1679 01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 1: I remember going to the Rose Bowl and literally a 1680 01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:17,280 Speaker 1: white kid comes up to me like thirteen, how myrself's 1681 01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:18,880 Speaker 1: gotta get a picture with you? I'm talking to you know, 1682 01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's up man? And you know, 1683 01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:24,320 Speaker 1: we're waiting on the songs to come on. And then 1684 01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,679 Speaker 1: I heard tim four boom boom boom, clap for what 1685 01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 1: and that little white kid said it. And I looked 1686 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:36,000 Speaker 1: at him and I was like, I don't even say that, 1687 01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm thinking this And he just said it to me 1688 01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:44,160 Speaker 1: while asking for a picture from me. Then I panned 1689 01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:47,200 Speaker 1: up as I was looking at him like not mad, 1690 01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:52,840 Speaker 1: but just like damn. And I panned up and not 1691 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,679 Speaker 1: only was hearing as I panned up the whole crowd, 1692 01:44:56,720 --> 01:45:00,080 Speaker 1: which was mostly white. It's so jay Z Beyonce on 1693 01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:03,880 Speaker 1: sirt echo it. I mean, it didn't get quiet, it 1694 01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:07,040 Speaker 1: didn't go clap for up, it went clap for up, 1695 01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:10,280 Speaker 1: boom boom. I was like, everybody said, said it, and 1696 01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:16,519 Speaker 1: then I looked up. Jay said it, all right, let's 1697 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,920 Speaker 1: take this pick. I mean, I felt like the culture 1698 01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:22,960 Speaker 1: gave him the license. But then you see instances like 1699 01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,320 Speaker 1: this where the teacher is slamming the kid for calming 1700 01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:28,439 Speaker 1: the work. You're like, we're side, are we on? What? 1701 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,240 Speaker 1: Where are we with this? I just think it's silly. 1702 01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:34,160 Speaker 1: I just think it's goofy to say something, but then 1703 01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:41,559 Speaker 1: say only I can say it as a culture, and yeah, 1704 01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:43,800 Speaker 1: I hear everybody, Oh no, you can do that. That's 1705 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,360 Speaker 1: your family, that's your culture. But then I wouldn't say 1706 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:51,040 Speaker 1: it aloud to everybody else, especially a sing along like 1707 01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,960 Speaker 1: what is music? Sing along? Like repeat my lyrics? Oh, 1708 01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:56,840 Speaker 1: by the way, repeat what I just said, but don't 1709 01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,439 Speaker 1: say that. I wouldn't do that because I'm also the 1710 01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:02,360 Speaker 1: same guy who grew up. I didn't care about mama jokes. 1711 01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,559 Speaker 1: I used to think that was the corniest ship alive. 1712 01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:06,960 Speaker 1: Somebody come to school and tell me about your mama 1713 01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,400 Speaker 1: and you got mad. I'm like, oh, we don't even 1714 01:46:09,439 --> 01:46:14,320 Speaker 1: know your mama. One two, why does it matter? It's 1715 01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:16,799 Speaker 1: just a word like he's like, oh, he you're losing. 1716 01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:19,519 Speaker 1: You're losing the joke battle. You're losing in the dozens 1717 01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:22,639 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh your mama short, Oh, don't say 1718 01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:26,240 Speaker 1: nothing about my mama. Okay, you short, like you shrugged 1719 01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,360 Speaker 1: your mama short? And cats getting now. I was like, man, 1720 01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:29,880 Speaker 1: I was just looking at these cats like dog, y'all 1721 01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:34,120 Speaker 1: so damn foods, hypocrites and contradicting y'allselves, y'all getting mad 1722 01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:36,760 Speaker 1: at this, y'all killing each other. But then y'all can't 1723 01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,719 Speaker 1: talk about his mama. And then I really felt weird 1724 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,800 Speaker 1: because cats, you know, sometimes somebody lost their mom and 1725 01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:46,200 Speaker 1: then somebody would say it against them and that cat 1726 01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:48,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't even get mad, just like me. If you talk 1727 01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,200 Speaker 1: about my mama right now, she's dead, y'all know it. 1728 01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,679 Speaker 1: I'm not mad, like fool, you don't even know my mama. 1729 01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:58,920 Speaker 1: What you're gonna say, like opec respect on what it's 1730 01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,160 Speaker 1: a joke, food, But it's not a joke. When you 1731 01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:03,960 Speaker 1: say the N word, So I don't understand it. It's 1732 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:06,040 Speaker 1: a joke to you and your homies, but it's not 1733 01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,920 Speaker 1: a joke to anybody who's not black. But then the 1734 01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:12,280 Speaker 1: definition of black is so damn loose. Let me stop. 1735 01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:15,400 Speaker 1: I said that last episode that why are you still 1736 01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:18,320 Speaker 1: trying to get away by like walking both sides of 1737 01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:21,559 Speaker 1: this fence. They're really trying to like climb both sides 1738 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,920 Speaker 1: of this fence with this N word just silling to me. 1739 01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:27,320 Speaker 1: Either drop it or make up a new word that's 1740 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:29,599 Speaker 1: supposed to mean the N word, Like, it's not that hard. 1741 01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:31,720 Speaker 1: You ever look at the dictionary? You know what I mean? 1742 01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:34,680 Speaker 1: Pages is in it? Let mean words in it?

And this generation is I don't know, it's 1753 01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:13,120 Speaker 1: all bad these confrontations. Look at my kids school. They 1754 01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:16,200 Speaker 1: call all their teachers by the first name. Look.

But he doesn't one 1889 01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:02,760 Speaker 1: to have that label on him for many reasons. Obviously, 1890 01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:06,440 Speaker 1: he says he doesn't care if people take issue with 1891 01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:08,960 Speaker 1: his jokes, but he warned that cancel culture is in 1892 01:56:09,080 --> 01:56:14,720 Speaker 1: danger of taking the nuance out of speech.

Dave quote wanted 1898 01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:34,520 Speaker 1: to deliberately obscure the intent of his work. What I 1899 01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:37,000 Speaker 1: take issue with is the idea that because they don't 1900 01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:41,720 Speaker 1: like it, I'm not allowed to say it.
