I'm 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.200 Steve Smith Senior and I'm John and this is cut 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.600 to it. Good do it, Good do it. That's getting 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.919 down to do it. Good do it. We asked the 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.880 questions you always want to know, but no one ever asked, 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:29.600 let's cut to it. You ain't heard him about it, 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:41.520 then we're about to let you know. It's all well, Steve, 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.920 I don't know where that came from. I like the yeah, 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.479 how are you doing? I'm doing great? Man, And I'm 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.360 sitting here thinking there was an incident. Man, this was 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.480 a few years ago. Yeah, with your football camp. What 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.560 about your last football camp that you did? Hear in Charlotte, right, 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.840 wasn't my last second of last one? One up? I 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.360 know it was a few years ago. Um, you gotta 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.000 tell it though, but just in terms of startin beverage 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.160 and happened with some of the kids, it's just a 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.920 funny story, man. So so I used to do football 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.240 camps here in Charlotte, and then also, uh, you're here 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.480 too as we go down. Um, I've done football camps 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.640 um on military basis as well. I've done it, and 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:29.920 um Cam Humphreys, which is overseas. Cam Humphreys is actually 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:37.520 uh several miles away from the d militarized Zone near 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:44.080 South Korea, right, So i've I've been in Hawaiian, Frankfurt, Germany, 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.280 so i've i've I've had the honor to serve the 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.440 military's kids all over. But so I do I But 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.720 I always had a camp for about nine almost ten 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.880 years here in Charlotte that I was doing, and so 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.400 we had a lot of different sponsors that would come 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.000 on board. And so one of our sponsors, UH for 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.320 the for our camp was Sunny Dlight. Now, if anybody 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.160 has ever been in the South beverage sponsor, so, if 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.640 anybody's been in the south of North Carolina in July, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.000 is hot as fish grease. And when I say fish grease, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.280 you can put them till I drop that top in 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:28.720 there and that grease is gonna be all over. So anyway, 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.960 so we're out there and it's probably ninety five degrees 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:38.360 with UH humidity, so it's equivalent to about a hundred 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:43.760 in two degrees hot. You're so hot on the pavement 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.520 you can see the heat, the heat rising on the 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.840 just going on the top of the asphalt. So we're 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.840 out here about two plus kids. And so we have 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.120 a water break, not a regular water break. We have 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:01.519 a sunny D. We're providing sunny light to the children. 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.119 And let me tell you what happened. Was sunny D man. 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.440 Sunny D was sniper and these kids left and right. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.720 Why because sunny D is not real orange juice. So 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.120 it's not sunny D has less. I think it has 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.400 ten percent orange juice, the orange drink the ninety percent 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:28.480 of the other juice. It's stuff. And it's not a 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.400 drink or juice. It's it's a drink. And we all 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:37.320 know what happens when you drink too much drink. That 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:43.760 he got to bubbling. These kids would they weren't passing out, 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.480 you know how they were losing in the football camp. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:53.840 We were losing the kids by vomit. These kids, these 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.920 kids were running routes and just falling out. We had 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.640 about twenty kids that just when stopped. Now you gotta 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.520 imagine when the kids stopped because you got bubble guts. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.119 I think I got it. I don't feel so well, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.880 I don't feel so good. I made an executive decision 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:23.000 no more Sunday. And I love the financial commitment. I 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:27.200 love the product. Kids out here hurting, but we got 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.400 to get this Sunday out of here just for everybody. 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.600 They weren't padded. It's just shorts of shorts, right, It's 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:40.119 just touch. It's not full contact. That I don't believe 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.600 having full contact. The way you introduced kids on plane 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:49.800 is you don't. You let them gradually acclimate to getting hit, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.720 but you don't. You don't teach a little kid how 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.520 to catch a football when he knows that the next 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.560 little kickly is playing middle linebacker on the field. It's 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.240 really hard to keep up what's on the ball when 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:06.040 you're about to get your ribs broken. Right, And Bro, 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.479 we were losing kids. I'm talking about so that literally 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.599 the next day, two day, two day cam, three day camp. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.480 We literally the next day, I said, Bro, we took 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.800 all the d because it was not it was not 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:21.119 providing the hydration. Dog day was dying. We was losing 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.440 kids left and around. I mean we had we lost twenty, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.279 like twenty kids just did not show up the next 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.320 day like Sunny d took out. You know what they 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:36.240 talked about all the turf monster real it was awful over. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.200 The sad part is, you know I gotta drink the product. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.320 I don't drinking that product. I start, you know, start 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.960 you too, and I don't starting you hit this. That's 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:55.920 the litt It was hurt. Sunny D athletics and running 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.320 around not not the best comba listen, sunny D bet 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:05.080 not ever whatever ever ever show athletic sport and drinking 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.400 after quenchy your thirsty was a sunny D. It would 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:12.400 be your last sport. So that that's the sunny D story. 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.800 But man, tell his day, Bro, it was bad. My son, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:20.359 he was like, yeah, dadda. When I saw Kevin, I 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.600 was like, yeah, I gotta stop drinking a Sunday because 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.560 it was free. So they gave us case case like 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.160 we were giving it was like two hundred fifty kids. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.560 Each kid got two Sunnyds to take on. We had 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.800 like four hundred sunny D's, but we dumped them. We 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.719 had to dump the product because it was killing the kids. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.440 It was killing. That'd be, like I hate to say, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:48.480 that'd be like giving kids Mexican food to go play sports. Like, Bro, 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.280 can you imagine you drop that point this? Bro? Can 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.440 you imagine running a post route after eating a babe 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.479 though I don't really want to know. That's probably you 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.760 made that. It's gonna be the last. Don't let that 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:13.600 quarterback leads you into a messy situation. You needed, but 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.160 you needed a black nickname anyway. Now your name Scooter. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.720 It's always a black school. Hey, how you guys doing. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:25.640 Steve Smith Senior here and g um welcome to the podcast. 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.640 When my Spanish is russy, so I don't know, is 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:35.320 that right when it's started, if it's afternoon, when it's not? 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.880 Just it's because you know I was a little bi lingual. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:43.800 You ain't botty ling anyway. We got our booking manager 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.960 on here, Joe Fushi, nicknames Scooter aka Backstage Joe. He 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.200 was backstage, but we brought him. We brought him to 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:57.600 the limelights. So Joe's Joe's want of homeboys and good dude, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.760 very talented is this man? Yeah, makes a lot of 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.720 this happen. I'll tell you what his ass is, not 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.400 that he is not a good communicator on this subject 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.040 at hand. So we were talking this weekend, and Joe 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.440 has a boat, and Joe loves to go on this boat. Now, 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:19.200 Joe loves to play golf with Smitty, but Smithy ain't 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.880 as good as Joe. But Smitty got the membership and 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:29.200 Joe got the boat. So it's a nice boat. And 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.640 so Joe loves being on the boat, and his beautiful 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.160 wife Kim says, look, if you get the boats, you 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.120 can't have a country cutp membership. So Joe's you know, 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.840 Joe's my golf and buddy. I love hanging out with him. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.240 Great dude.

So I say, man, these 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.880 these shoes. And then I discovered that this these boots, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.240 they also make both shoes.

But then also, you know just 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.200 how the stars aligned. Man was out playing golf the 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.760 other day. Tell me abody, right, So we're playing golf 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.240 and I'm I'm pretty I wouldn't go on the tour 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.320 and say I'm a pretty good golfer because I'm not. Um. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.240 But I can if I hit the bar, if I 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.680 get moving, yeah, if I if I get if I 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.320 get my making contact, if I get my driver on 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:54.560 it and go I get hit about two big range. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.800 I just smack it, but I gotta slice. I'm trying 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.400 to get rid of so bang I hit that thing 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.120 about it goes about to fifty. Of course, I'm playing 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:12.200 that the eighteen and nine is real narrow, so they're 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.600 they're playing right next to each other. Boom, So I 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.640 veer right. I gotta slice feers right. So I'm probably 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.440 a huney yards from the green. I'm just on the 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.560 other whole. I'm on the ninth hole. I'll tell you 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.480 when that happens. So I got a honey yards to 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.600 the green, ninth on the ninth hole, on the right 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.160 next to him. So I played with um. I don't 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.320 like playing with the standard white ball because I struggle 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.800 to see to find it this early morning, I don't 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.240 care if his afternoon. I'm on the struggle bus. So 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.800 I played. I played with a lot of different color balls, 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.240 and so I played with a red one, which is 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.640 red as my favorite color. So I'm playing it. Hit it. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.000 So it's on the other one and playing with my 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.440 boy Joe, and so I'm like, Joe said, I got 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:06.440 you all right, So I'm going over park. I'm going 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.600 over there as a gentleman on the nice hole as well. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.480 But I'm on eighteen, so I'm interfair in his game. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.679 So I take my time and I make sure I 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.439 can go after he hits and I'm looking for this 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.560 red ball on this green, green fairway so it's not 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.239 hard to miss, and I'm like, where's my ball? So 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.199 I go over and then this guy's looking at me 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.760 very in my mind, I'm going, damn, he's gonna wanta 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.600 gotta do this whole. I recognized that as you. Yeah. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.359 So I've had guys approached me.

Right, takes the ball, puts it 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.159 in his bag. So when I approach him, I said, yeah, bro, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.200 you got my ball. He is now looking at me 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.440 as if I'm going to beat him up, and I'm 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.919 still probably about thirty yards away from So we're like 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:44.639 having this loud talking this in conversation. He put his 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.479 ball in his bag and he's staring at me pulling 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.640 my ball out of his bag. So he's caught.

So what's all my 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:16.359 mental is? We usually don't. We usually don't. We usually 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.880 do evergreen. But this is gonna be stapled with we're 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.159 gonna marry this with a panther. So we're gonna go 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:33.120 with a Carolina Panther insider Juicy Moose and Smitty, Uh conversation, 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.680 So a conversation when you and Musi mohammed, yeah, pull it. 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.720 You're pulling this out. The archives is in the crates. 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:44.600 This is actually I'll say this start off. Moose is 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:50.199 like my big brother. We were super competitive, uber uber competitive. 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.359 But there were times where I got on moose nerves 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.119 and Moose got on my nerves. As as what happens 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.399 in brotherhoods. So my rookie wasn't my rookie year, my 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:08.240 second year one of my years. Uh. Actually Moose didn't 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.439 know it. But Moose kind of made me who I was, 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.960 who who I am today? And high Win is UM 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:19.800 coach Richard Williamson was He was always tough on me, 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:26.280 always tough and um one day. Uh and his wife, Norma, 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.760 I loved them, love her she you know, speak to her. 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:36.000 I never can say anything negative towards Richard. He always 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.520 pushed me to places that I didn't want to go, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.119 and that's the sign of a great coach. But on 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:47.439 this day, Richard was the offensive coordinator. Mike McCoy was 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.920 the wide receiver's coach. Mike McCoy was the head coach 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:55.439 of the same save um offense coordinator for Denver Broncos 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.439 when UH coach McDaniels became head coach, and then he 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.080 became the head coach at San Diego Chargers and now 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:07.879 he's just at the house chilling. So one day, um so, 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.800 this was my rookiere one day running the wrong routes, 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:13.879 old West Coast offense. I came from a number system 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:19.640 out of college, and Richard Williamson grabbed me and kind 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:21.920 of like talked down to me. He was a coach, 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.240 but he talked down to me and told me how 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:30.320 he felt about me that day. That day, he didn't 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:35.240 feel really good about me, and he kind of grabbed 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.520 me and it rubbed me the wrong way. And when 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.760 he grabbed me, you know, uh, I want to say 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:44.640 I blanked out, but I was getting close to grabbing him, 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:50.600 and Mike kind of like stepped in between us and 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.080 you know, and Richard was cussing and I said a 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.520 few choice worst as well. Um, I know, big surprise, 0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:01.399 and um but Moose did something that just kind of 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:05.439 got to me. And Moose said, man, you're from Cali. 0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:07.960 You're supposed to be one of them Cali dudes. You 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.920 like that old man do that to you, And Moose 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:14.240 just poured it on. So my mom is one of thirteen, 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:19.360 and I have an uncle named Tim who's maybe six 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.159 or eight years older than me, but he's like my 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.960 big brother. Um. He actually he got kicked out of 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:28.879 the house from my grandfather, UM, my grandpa Alfred. He 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.240 actually when I was in when I was young, he 0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:36.560 actually lived. He was my roommate, no, and when he 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:41.919 was going to high school. And so he's like ten 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.240 years older than me. So I was like a first 0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.440 or second grade and I'm rooming with a dude that's 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:51.119 a senior in high school. Super odd, right, But you know, 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.840 that's just how it is a close family. And why 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:59.000 is uncle Tim coming into the picture. Well, Moose hit 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.400 me with that, and I just hit it didn't sit 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.960 well with me, and I took my time coming home 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:10.080 and I remember parking in the driveway and I called him. 0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.560 I attacked them and I called him. I actually chirped 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:18.720 him because and so he called me. He's like, what's up? 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.800 And I told him what happened? And I told him 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:25.119 how moose and kind of like you know how he 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:28.520 played this, played up the situation in a in a 0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:31.719 on the field in the locker room, and I just 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:38.040 remember crying and I was really emotional about it. And 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:44.960 my uncle said, well, you know, Steven, um, this isn't Steven. 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:47.800 I know, first of all, why are you crying like this? 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.760 And I explained it to him and he was like, well, 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.040 you still haven't told me why you're crying like this, 0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:57.840 because that's not to Steven. I know, this is not 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:01.919 the Calie. It's not to It's not the family member, 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:07.600 the kid that I know. And his response really challenged me. 0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:13.560 He was he was not empathetic sympathetic one bit. But 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.000 what was really cool is I remember he said, so 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.280 what are you gonna do about it? I was like, 0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.320 what you mean? He said, what the funk are you 0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.840 gonna do about it? And I remember I was like, 0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.880 you know what, all right? He said, no, I want 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:33.280 you to tell me and I said, well, he's like, 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.560 the best thing you can do to get back at 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:41.680 Moose is what I don't like. You know, you're all emotional. 0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.480 I don't know what was I asked, you know, He's like, no, 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:49.960 what can you do? From that day forward, Moose challenge 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:54.159 and ignited me to the point of and again I 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:58.439 say this, really, I have a great relationship with Moose, 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.240 but what Moose doesn't on the standards, Moose created me 0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.399 because when I got off, when I got off the phone, 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.600 the things that I said to my uncle is which 0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:12.520 I lived every day, which is my goal was to 0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:17.399 remove Moose off every category in the wire receivers record 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.880 books for the Carolina Panthers. My goal was to when 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:25.879 they say Carolina Panthers wire receiver, Moosie Mohammed's name is 0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:31.720
