Speaker 1: in the comments. But you know, you give your Kevin

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Durant account, like your bad account, and then maybe we

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: can exchange this information. But she's so excited everywhere I'm

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: going right now in our little circle, they're pumped up.

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: Great time to be a whitey yay all right now,

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I feel bad about this. On the way to school

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: this morning, it just started to add up and add up.

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: My boy hasn't been listening to the last two days,

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: and so I finally had to get strict on biscuit

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: and whoa, whoa. I don't know if my parents felt

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: as bad as I do when I discipline them. And

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: it's not physical. I'm out of that. Like I got

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: whooped and I got spanked. I was like dog. That worked.

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: But there's another way to get to me. And so

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: now I use my words, and I use obviously rewards

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and punishments consequences as we call them. But they all

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: know I don't even have to do the finger flick.

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: I used to do the finger flick with Morocca twenty

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: five years ago right. But now don't even have to

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: do the finger flick. I just say Daddy's gonna get strict. Chuck.

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Every one of my kids lines up when they hear

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: Daddy's gonna get strict because they know what that means.

66
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: Daddy's gonna take something the way or make us feel

67
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: that pain. So I had to do that this morning.

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: He just sits in his car seat, his little booster seat,

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: but he doesn't want to put the shoulders strap on right.

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: And one time before I just slam on the brakes

71
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: not knowing here and had the shoulder strap part on yeah,

72
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and he almost hit his head on the seat in

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: front of him, and he was like, Daddy, I almost

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: hit my head. I was like, because you're not in

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: this seat properly. Bro, I said, I'm way older than you,

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: and I sit in this seat properly. Yo. Button needs

77
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: to too. So this morning, after all the things he's

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: been putting me through, that was the last straw that

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: broke the Daddy's back. Other than that, last night, man,

80
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: I had some sushi. I love sushi, I just don't

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: like the fact that I never get full off of it.

82
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: I let snowfall watch me. I thought I was watching Snowfall.

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: I was sitting there sleeping with a snooz, a sushi

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: belly and Snowfall was on. That was my night. Now

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: let's get a show, all right? This is hilarious Austin

86
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Reeves and his two thousand and twelve Facebook's Facebook post

87
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: about Lebron mysteriously pops up. Boy, these receipts are long

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: and strong when it comes to the Internet. So Austin Reeves,

89
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: we all know Colt's favorite, that's what they call him

90
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: with the Lakers. Been there a couple of years next

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: to Lebron and Anthony Davis. Who wouldn't want to play

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: with Lebron? Right, well, not always Austin Reeves because he

93
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: had a post way back that's had a Kobe picture

94
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: and it said, quote, when I need some peace and quiet,

95
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: I set my phone to Lebron mode, no ring. I

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: see you allster Rivers or Aster Reeves and it makes

97
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: me laugh because what happens when you dis or have

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: disc your teammate, Right, have you ever been there somebody

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: at work? You're dis somebody and also now you gotta

100
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: work with that dude or you this is in them now?

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: And then next thing you know they right in your face.

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: Everybody ever got caught with that egg on their face,

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: right obviously, you know me playing as much ball as

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I have, I've been in this predicament before. Gotta give

105
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: you my Drew Brees story in a different version, because

106
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: everybody knows I called out Drew Brees because I wanted

107
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Dug Fluti to start when I was in San Diego. Okay,

108
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: everybody on the team told me to do it. I

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: did it. Blah blah blah. What y'all don't know is

110
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: how disappointed Drew Brees was the next day. So the

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: next day, I come into the locker room, can't lie.

112
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous, a little anxious because I'm like,

113
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: it's all in the news, everybody's talking about it, and

114
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to Drew directly. So now I'm like

115
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: walking towards the weight room and then all of a sudden,

116
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm walking in there. I see LT over there, and

117
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: I see Drew over there. So then I got a

118
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: moment of truth. Either I'm gonna be a punk and

119
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: try to act like I gotta lift weight so here,

120
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I gotta do my body stuck over here,

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: and I look at Drew or I gotta be a man,

122
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: even though I wasn't a fool man because I would

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: have told Drew first instead of telling a reporter to

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: tell the world. So I walk over there and Drew,

125
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: the same guy who I was in his wedding. I

126
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: went to his wedding and split my pants on the

127
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: dance floor because it was that much fun crazy times.

128
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: My dog, Drew Brees was looking at me like, like

129
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: just hurt, and I was like, Drew, my bad big dog.

130
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you first. I should have told

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: you first. I didn't tell you first, and he was like,

132
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, that doesn't even bother me. What bothers me

133
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: is that if you knew this, you should have been

134
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: a team made and told me, because it seems like

135
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: the whole team was talking about it but me. So

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: he was basically saying the same thing, but he was like,

137
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I ain't even coming at like Marcel's. I took it personal.

138
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I took it like, dog, we're supposed to be in

139
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: this together, and y'all all over there saying one thing

140
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: and not letting me know. And I guess LT may

141
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: have prepped them or something to that level, and it

142
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: just hurt me. You know. That's what they say about

143
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: kids too with their parents, Like you can spank them

144
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: all you won't, you can discipline all you won't, but

145
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: that disappointment is what really gets to him. Right, So

146
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: in that situation, I felt them I was really hurt,

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: and that really honed me in on my mantra, my essence,

148
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: which is honesty is true freedom. That's why I tell

149
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: the truth for all the time. You ain't never catching

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: me in that position again, I felt little. I felt

151
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: I felt like I was just a little small crumb

152
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: on the table compared to Drew Brees sitting down saying

153
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: you may have tried to clown me, but you ain't

154
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: even mean enough to tell me. So from that point forward,

155
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I really narrow my focus in on being honest. Respect

156
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: to you, No respect to you wants to read What

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: the hell you did? Lebron at that moment you knew

158
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: he was gonna win a ring. Today's the day you

159
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: can try and get Lamar Jackson to play for your team.

160
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh man. Somebody commented that I read very well on

161
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: this show. You know what, One of the first things

162
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: I ever had pride in was reading aloud. You know,

163
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: in front of the class. Kay Marcel's pastry. Okay today

164
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: four score and seven years ago. Like I was just

165
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: so pumped for that moment. So now watch me best

166
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: this whole thing up. We're gonna talk about Lamar Jackson's

167
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: contract situation and quarterback. Lamar Jackson still has not signed

168
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: a contract and where will he play in twenty twenty three.

169
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: That's a big unknown. He got a non exclusive franchise

170
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: tag for the Baltimore Ravens. Y'all wrong for that after

171
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: the two sides failed to reach a long term deal.

172
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: All Right, we know, non exclusive franchise tag means, hey,

173
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: we can match any offer out there. If not, give

174
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: us two first round picks, and y'all gonna have him.

175
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: Damn that's cold, all right. On Tuesday, Jackson had to

176
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: clear the air because Adam Schefter had reported that Lamar

177
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: turned down a two hundred million dollars guaranteed deal in September. Whoa.

178
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: So then Lamar puts up one of those gifts that

179
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: basically got to do going what you're talking about. Willis

180
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: kind of looked, you know, one of those, and then

181
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: he had to reply to the tweet. Also, he wasn't

182
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: done Lamar Jackson one hundred and thirty three million over

183
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: three years, fully guaranteed with the side eye emoji. But

184
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I need an agent, wow? He like, Yo, I need

185
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: an agent for them to go out there and offer

186
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: me what forty four meal plus? Huh? What y'all talking about?

187
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't done then then he had another tweet saying,

188
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: people throw poop emoji. All right, that's good at the

189
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: wall and hope it sticks. Dank Adam schefter taking them

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: strays right now. Actually these are direct Adam chefs here,

191
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: Like what the hell are you talking about? And it

192
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: made me think, like, is that enough money for Lamar Jackson?

193
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Both reports one one hundred and thirty three million for

194
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: three years short term deals? I know everybody's like, no,

195
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: I want long term security, but you know what happens

196
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: in three years, probably even two years on that deal,

197
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: Rip it up, if you ball it, rip beat up,

198
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: and then give him another one and the money just

199
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: doing this in the NFL, it's lax JFK on the runway,

200
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: just taking off. Everybody getting paid right now, backups and

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: making double digit millions. So I'm not mad at the

202
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: three year, one thirty three And i don't know how

203
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: many years for the two hundred if that was real,

204
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: But come home, bro, two hundred guarantee. But here's the problem.

205
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. The Sean Watson got two and Lamar

206
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Jackson's like, y'all may say the shun is better than

207
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: me by some metrics or some of the production numbers,

208
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: but is he a unanimous envy and as he led

209
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: the league in passing touchdowns like I did, like you know,

210
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: you start reading your resume and I know in this

211
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: world you're not supposed to compare, but prepare. But when

212
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: it comes to contracts, when it comes to buying a house, etc.

213
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: When money is exchanged and transactions occurred, I need some comps,

214
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: and those comps tell him I need to get more

215
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: than Deshaun Wasson, especially if you watch how Deshaun Wasson

216
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: played after he returned. But the problem is they're gonna

217
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: push back, Hey, bro, how you've been playing of late?

218
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: The sain't the same guy that one that unanimous MVP.

219
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Let's just be real. It's a notch off. And more importantly,

220
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: there's also a situation where you look at him, when

221
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: are you available? You've missed with five games the last

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: two years. So we got problems in terms of your

223
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: availability and a little off your greatness in terms of production.

224
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: Hen I would have taken both, but you guys remember

225
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: my story from my agent. He had to talk me

226
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: into nine. Nah dog, know your worth, and I literally

227
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: double my contract value because I listened to my agent. Well,

228
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Lamar has to listen to his mama. Yep, he gotnna

229
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: get it from his mama. He gonna hear his mama said, baby, Deshan,

230
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: watch what you Lamar Jackson, you better recognize. And so

231
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: now the Ravens are trying to call his bluff by saying,

232
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: we're not going to negotiate with you anymore. One. It's

233
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: you and your mom. And let's just say this is

234
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: a little different too. It may be a little more

235
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: emotional than we want it. Because remember and in the negotiation,

236
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, they gonna bring up some

237
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: bad stuff. They're gonna talk bad about you. They're gonna

238
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: bring the underground to the surface they have to. If not,

239
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: they just gonna open up a brinkstruck and say, do

240
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: what you want to do. So they're gonna have to

241
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: badger and beat up your offer. Do you want to

242
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: be the one on the phone to hear all your warts,

243
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: all your issues, all your problems where the people are. Yeah,

244
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: and I think that's what it made this stall. So

245
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens kind of smart. We're not gonna franchise them

246
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: to the fullest because really we want to give them

247
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: a long term deal. We can do that, but that's

248
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: just gonna kick the ball down the field. Ah, I

249
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: got away. Let somebody else set the market for him

250
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: because he keeps thinking we over here, b Essen, all right,

251
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: everybody else, you get it with of them, right, Remember

252
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: I told you the example. Hey, this is the date

253
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: that you have which you can go out. This is

254
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: your hall pass, no sex hall pass. Just go out there,

255
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: have fun and then bring your flirty butt back here.

256
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: And we're gonna see what they're talking about out in

257
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: the streets. That's what this is right now. So we're

258
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna see what Lamar Jackson is able to come up

259
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: with and forget all those fake ass reports. Oh we're

260
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: not interested. We're not interested. Y'all know. The teams always lie.

261
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: They have to because if not, the market is gonna

262
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: go crazy. They always lie. They use reporters for their services.

263
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: They use them as tools of information, or they use

264
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: them as useful idiots being real and the people are

265
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: not idiots. They just use them to distract, to send

266
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: smoke signals so you can't see what they're really up to.

267
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: You don't believe me how many times you've seen the

268
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: contract get signed, details unknown. We're that same reporter at it.

269
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: Thought you knew everything, thought you knew every detail. Nah,

270
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: it's always somebody upstairs saying let them know or don't

271
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: let them know. Simple as that. Now, you can't contain everybody.

272
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: But if you want to keep your job, and if

273
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: I find out is shoe, you better make sure they

274
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I just trip out details undisclosed. Right, You're like,

275
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: wait a minute, they told me everything. Matter of fact,

276
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: they lead the negotiation before as a reporter in some instances,

277
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: and then some instances like Jim Harball with Adam Schefter.

278
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I I mean I don't know, And it's like, how

279
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: you don't know and you know everything because no one

280
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: knows everything. So in this situation, when they were using

281
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: the media to say there's no market for Lamar Jackson,

282
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: I will pause on that decision. Let's see what happens

283
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: today and the Day is going forward in terms of

284
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: other opportunities and offers for Lamar Jackson. Hopefully it all

285
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: works out in Baltimore. And I don't mean just him

286
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: playing on the team and getting paid. I mean I

287
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: want this dude to win a Super Bowl. He just

288
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: stands for more, not for any other reason but the

289
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: NFL and Bill Polian in particular. My guy told this

290
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: guy what he couldn't do. He can't play quarterback. Want

291
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: to bet not only can I play quarterback, I could

292
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: lead the league in passing, passing touchdowns and I couldn't

293
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: play quarterback. Not only that, I could win MVP as

294
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Nethern that inspirational, Like somebody tell you can't

295
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: do something you like, Not only can I do it,

296
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: I do it better than anybody out there doing it.

297
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: That's why I'm still rooting for Lamar Jackson all right

298
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: up for my four teams I played for, and then

299
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: even my son Biscuit knows daddy got a wild card.

300
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,359
Speaker 1: It's those Ravens. Because you know me, I'm an underdog,

301
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: and anytime I see an underdog out there got an opportunity,

302
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him to go get there, Go get

303
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: your money. Big Dog. Maybe Miami. Oh no, maybe it's

304
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna be somewhere. Somebody make an offer, Ravens will match it.

305
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Then he gets paid. Oh y'all thought asked reed to

306
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: do last topic? This topic, I'm about to go there

307
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: should kill O'Neil shot Diesel right allegedly in hiding really

308
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: as lawyers failed to serve him over ft X lawsuit.

309
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer TV personality Big Shock Deesel. We know

310
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: he is accused of avoiding being served a class action

311
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: lawsuit filed against celebrities who endorsed the failed cryptocurrency ft X.

312
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: All Right, Steph Curry was one of them, Tom Brady

313
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: was one of them, just Zelle was one of them,

314
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: and Larry David was one of them. There's but those

315
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: were the bigger names, right, And supposedly one investor, Edwin

316
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: Garrison was like, Shaquille O'Neil was the one that got

317
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: me hooked and he's the reason I did it. Went

318
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: to his LA party at the Super Bowl a couple

319
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: of years ago at the Shack mansion and all that stuff.

320
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: So he was like, Shack is the one that stood out.

321
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: And then it is so funny can listen to these quotes.

322
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Only one, however, has chosen to evade service they told

323
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: about Shack in order to draw out these proceedings or

324
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: to otherwise attempt to avoid answering for these allegations. We

325
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: know where it is. Now, let's talk about what Shaq

326
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: did to make somebody believe he's all in. Well, he

327
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: actually used those words. O'Neill promoted the company on Twitter

328
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: in June as an official FTX brand ambassador with the

329
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: tagline I'm all in, are you? Oh? November eleventh, the

330
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: crypto Giant crash and filed for bankruptcy. All right, all

331
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, shacks like. Look, I was just a

332
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: paid spokesperson. A lot of people think I'm involved, But

333
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: I was just the spokesperson for a commercial. Right. My

334
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: friend Steph Curry called me, told me I can make

335
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: millions of dollars if he just served as an FTX

336
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: brand ambassador and lied on television commercial that he was

337
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: all in with FTX when he admitted that personally he

338
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 1: would not go near the cryptocurrency. Okay, let's talk about this.

339
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: There are other people too. Look, let me just get

340
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: all the names out there because it just helps. Uh

341
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: Udonis has them got all that twenty year NBA money

342
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: in there, Naomi a soccer okay, show a tany damn

343
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: he ain't even got paid pay Yeah you better, Chell,

344
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence all right, long hair, don't care. And David

345
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: Ortiz all poppy, poppy, not all that the Neto and

346
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary and bankman Free I've heard of him. I

347
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: don't know all right. So a lot of cast was

348
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: into this. They had all that money, They had all

349
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: of us into it, all in, maybe blindfolded, but obviously

350
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: one or one of any business is they have a

351
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: high propensity to fail. Right, So if you're sitting at

352
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: home being sold by your favorite celebrity and you're like,

353
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, Kim Kardashian has said I should do this,

354
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: maybe you should check and make sure you should do it,

355
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: not just because Kim says so. And in this situation,

356
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I wonder how this lawsuit's gonna play out because everyone

357
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: else got served and they was like, yeah, serve me,

358
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: I'm not running from it. And two I was a

359
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: paid ambassador. Did I read define print yes or no?

360
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Did I read define print and actually believe it? I

361
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: don't know. Did I take the check yes. Did I

362
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: endure something that seemed like it was legitimate? Yes? Did

363
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: it go wrong? Yes? And my libel No. I think

364
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: that's just going to be the beats of their defense.

365
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: But for some reason, Shock ain't trying to hear all that.

366
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: Shock doesn't even want to go through the beats of

367
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: that drum, right, he doesn't even want to hear it.

368
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: And that's interesting right there. Why don't you want to

369
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: hear it? Getting served is an interesting thing. When you

370
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: know you're getting served, you can do things like this,

371
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: maybe elude the server or the processor. Right. One time

372
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: I got served, and don't y'all imaginations run crazy. It

373
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: was just for child support and child cumes city case,

374
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: even though that's bad enough, right, But I was in

375
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: practice in Buffalo, and I remember coach coming up to me.

376
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: It's like why they come here? And then I saw

377
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: a little huddle of like people. You know, I'm like,

378
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like the principle's office moment, Like hell,

379
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: what y'all do it? Taking me out of practice? You know,

380
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: I don't play a lot, so I need to practice shoot,

381
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: And so I go to coach. He's like these people here,

382
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: they have some paperwork for you to sell. They're here

383
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: to serve you. And the guy was in the huddle

384
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: or something. He just were like, this, you've been served

385
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: or something. I was like what. And I'm sitting there,

386
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, sweaty, bloody, helmet up, helmet up here, you

387
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: know you could when you don't take your helmet off

388
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: all the way, just got your chair, scrap on your forehead,

389
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: helmet up, like what's up? You've been served. I'm like, oh, okay.

390
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: And then I think it was Wade. I just got

391
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: wave voice in my head and way like what is that?

392
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: What happened? And I was like, oh man, I gotta

393
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: go to court for my baby, my little baby, all right?

394
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: So I had to do all that. I don't know

395
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: why I got served, but you know why. Sometimes they

396
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: serve you just to be like we're serious about this

397
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: matter and this matter is big and we're not gonna

398
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: let you get away with this, and it's just something

399
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: to put on record. Because she didn't have to serve me.

400
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: She could have just text me. I was like, what

401
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: you're serving me for? Just tell me what's next? Oh man.

402
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: So I've been through that process before, and if I

403
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: wasn't at practice, maybe I wouldn't have received it. I

404
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: might have been at the club. I might have been

405
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: playing darts, so something just to not get served. But

406
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: it's just an appointment for a court date. So I

407
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: think there's not much to this story as much as

408
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: there's something to this story, because it's kind of hard

409
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: for me to believe that y'all came fine a seven

410
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: foot one, three hundred and thirty pound guy because he's

411
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight of lace, Like you know

412
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, what what we're humans? He's a mammal,

413
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: and I know that humans are mammals, but he's different.

414
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: You can find his big butt. So just a funny

415
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: story right there. To see what's at the bottom of this.

416
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I read through this and I couldn't believe it. They

417
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: were like, they're trying to really call bluff on all

418
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: these celebrity endorsements, because that's what's gonna happen. It will

419
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: be a ripple effect to some degree where all of

420
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, the celebrity is gonna be more reluctant to

421
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: take on all things just for a check, and you,

422
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: as a consumer may suffer because you won't even have

423
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: the awareness of a lot of things because celebrities are

424
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: the megaphones, right, They're the ones that get the message

425
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: out because how many times are we watching ads on

426
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: TV boring skip through it? Even when we see it

427
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: on the internet. We as soon as you're seeing an ad,

428
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at the bottom right corner. Skip add. You

429
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: can't wait for it to go four three, Let's skip AD.

430
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to hear all that, but celebrities you are,

431
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: because they're more than exposure. They give you experience. So

432
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see where this goes. Long story, short,

433
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: fine shot. He ain't hard to find, dain't time during

434
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: oh Man. He has some great quotes that came from

435
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: the podcast where he was talking about with JJ reddick

436
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: Ah the NBA today and how it's changed, how it's morphed,

437
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: and he said, look, I'm okay with the evolution, I'm

438
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: just not okay with this journey and where we are

439
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: right now, because he knows things has to change, right,

440
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: but he's like, why did we change? Like this? One

441
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: quote that I thought stood out was the fact that

442
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: he said, I don't know how. I don't know I

443
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: can damn dang what school you go to? I don't know?

444
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: I can play a long time because I don't enjoy

445
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: what the NBA as a whole is becoming. Okay, y'all

446
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: know what he meant. You don't know how long he's

447
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: gonna play because he don't know what this NBA is

448
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: doing and what it's going to become. It reminds me

449
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: of how many times I heard outward criticism is them

450
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: that didn't necessarily match what the inward voice. Okay, so

451
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room, on the field, knowing my teammates,

452
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: knowing other players and peers in the NFL, versus what

453
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: the pundits were saying and the public was saying, and

454
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: how they were on two different paths. Damian literally is

455
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: talking about that. When did it become where the only

456
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: thing that matters is how many rings you've won? Like seriously, now,

457
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: it used to be this. It used to be a

458
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: journey and I want to win and I want to

459
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: beat everyone on that journey, but the how was very important?

460
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: How do I proceed on this journey matter. I'm not

461
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: gonna try and fake it. I'm not gonna try and

462
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: skip the line. I'm not gonna try and skip around.

463
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try and join up it was a

464
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: day where it felt pure if you want to call

465
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: it that, right the how, But now it's just I

466
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: want to win a ring and who cares? How? It

467
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna win the ring. And are you winning

468
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: the ring because you just want to say I'm a champion,

469
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: or are you winning the ring because that's the only

470
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: way you get properly respected in legacy and you get

471
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: all the critics off your back. Damian literally was talking

472
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: through that because he looks at loyalty a completely different way.

473
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: He's like, look, I am a guy who likes to compete.

474
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm a guy who wants to go out there and win.

475
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm not trying to go

476
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: chase it because if I go chase it, what if

477
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: I fail? Where's my loyalty? But also what if I

478
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: chase it and succeed, and then y'all try to Kevin

479
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 1: durant me, which means this credit the fact that I

480
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: actually went out there and did what exactly I said

481
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna do, and y'all like, oh, but you

482
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: had to go somewhere to do it. It's crazy. We've

483
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: seen it always. We've seen guys stay still and win

484
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: the championship, Magic Johnson, right, Larry Bird, whatever you want

485
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: to say. There are a lot of those guys. But

486
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: then there are guys who leave and then don't win

487
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: a championship. Charles Barkley comes to mind, right, Karl Malone

488
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: comes to mind. And then there are guys who leave

489
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: and win a championship like a Kevin Durant, and y'all

490
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: still got something to say. So then it becomes the

491
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: simple old adage, which is everywhere you go, there you are,

492
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: and who cares what they're going to say, because even

493
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: your critic has critics, right. So that's why I have

494
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: to tell you what my vision of being a pro

495
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: athlete was and how I was met smack in the

496
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: face with a different reality. When I wanted to become

497
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: a pro athlete, when I knew that, okay, these muscles

498
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna flex and I'm gonna get my butt up there.

499
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: The first reason was for me to just show the world,

500
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: to show myself that I can accomplish the ultimate feet.

501
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: Like we all know, there are millions of football players worldwide,

502
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: and then that pyramid of success to who makes it

503
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: to the league, only two thousand at the top. Right,

504
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to climb that damn pyramid, climb

505
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: that mountain, for myself, for my family, and for the

506
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: world to say, oh man, he did something there. That

507
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: was the first reason. Right behind that was all the

508
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: money that was gonna come from it. But being real,

509
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the money wasn't first, because I think the accomplishment was

510
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna set me up to make money regardless. And frankly,

511
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I went to a small school. I wasn't thinking I

512
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: was gonna break the bank. I didn't think I was

513
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: gonna just kill it. I thought I was gonna get

514
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity and then I can go do something. So

515
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: I was like, go out there and proof you can

516
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: achieve a dream, and then go get paid for it.

517
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: After that I was done, I was like, win all costs, win, win, win.

518
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: No matter what I do, I'm gonna try and win.

519
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and compete against myself every day. I'm

520
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna try and beat my teammates, and then I'm gonna

521
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: go out there and try and beat the other team.

522
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: That's what I tell my kids right now. There are

523
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: three levels of competition. Most importantly, first one is against yourself.

524
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Set one is against those in your social circle around you,

525
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: your teammates. Lastly, you got to compete against the world

526
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: and you don't see them every day, but trust me,

527
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: they're out there getting ready for that competition. That was it.

528
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: That was it. Then all of a sudden, you start

529
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: hearing like, I mean Super Bowls you got, and then

530
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: you look at the NBA, I mean rings your guy,

531
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait a minute, are we here starting

532
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: to discredit greatness just because you got to see the

533
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: overall destination, Like, forget who he is, the destination matters, right,

534
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: So then I started listening to how they talked about

535
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. I was like, what y'all got something bad

536
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: to say about Barry Sentors? Well maybe of me. He

537
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: didn't run backwards a lot a lot of negative yards,

538
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: but he made up for it, didn't he. But I

539
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: was like, day, oh, we're trying to discredit Barry Senters.

540
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Oh he couldn't win it all that. I was like, Oh,

541
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: that's cold, that's cold blooded. Drew Blessed So like, guys

542
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: out why I said Drew Blesso first player ever to

543
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: get one hundred million dollars, That's why I said Drew Blessed.

544
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: So the market told you how value who he was,

545
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: and then they're like, oh, he didn't win one, he

546
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: didn't lead a team to a championship, forget about him.

547
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, that's how they do you. I'm just,

548
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, a sociologist studying this stuff. Then you look

549
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: at the NBA. Are thest too many examples? They just

550
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: discredited cats, even when Kobe won his first three rings rings,

551
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: even Kobe he got three rings, y'all, guess what. Kobe

552
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: felt like, I need to go get mine by myself.

553
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I need to go get one and be the leader.

554
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, they have played a mind game

555
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: on athletes to the point where cats not only when

556
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: they win them, don't feel like they want them. I

557
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: was like, this is crazy. So Damian Lillard is talking

558
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: about that, really going through therapy, all of it because

559
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: he just can't believe he lives in the NBA. Were

560
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: all they're doing, all they're gonna do is count your

561
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: rings simply or he also said accolades like you was

562
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: the MVP. Isn't that weird? Like who cares? Like? What

563
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: are eyeball tests by that guy? Repl placed with all

564
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: of the metrics that got replaced with the analytics Okay,

565
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: I hear that, I think it should be a combo package.

566
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: But I hear that. But then beyond that, they're saying,

567
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: forget that. I can have a simple, lazy understanding of

568
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: who you are as a player, how many rings you in,

569
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: and you're like, what the heck? What? How good was it?

570
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: How great? Was no? No? No? And then cats who

571
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: are here who have rings become this I understand. But

572
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: a cat who's here without a ring, he goes here.

573
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: Really that what we're doing kind of takes me to

574
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: the combine in that parallel, like you ain't got your film.

575
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: If you go to the combine and you're a great athlete,

576
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: let's go here. But if you go to the combine

577
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: and we got that film, and you're a beast, but

578
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: you you know, you can't broad jump. You can tackle

579
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: it for loss, you can sack the quarterback, and you

580
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: can't broad jump. We're gonna drop you. We're gonna drop

581
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: greatness just because it doesn't have a ring. I thought

582
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: that was a little bit silly. So I look at

583
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: this hall, all this and saying this. Everyone goes to

584
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: the pro level for different reasons. Some of us, hey,

585
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: I needed the dough, some cats already had dough. Carson

586
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: Palmer heard already had dough. The man, he's already has some,

587
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: though you ain't have that level a dough. But the

588
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: point is not everybody does it because I need the money.

589
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: You do it for your reasons to accomplish, to make

590
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: a dream of reality, and then when you get up there,

591
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: stuff happens. You may be on a team that wins

592
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: it all and you didn't do anything to chip in

593
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: on that, or you may be the greatest thing since

594
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: slice bread, and damn it, look at my luck. We

595
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: can't find a way. It sounds like Dame Dollar. So

596
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: are y'all looking at Dame Dollar like, Yeah, he's loyal

597
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing, or is he loyal to

598
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: a fault and he needs to go ring chase? But

599
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: remember Dame Lillard's already seen that path going forward. He's

600
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: already looking at it like even the ring chasers get killed.

601
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: So where am I going? I'd rather stay here, stay here,

602
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: and stay bunkered. It's interesting conversation, man, because to me,

603
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: pro athletics is just a means to an end. It's

604
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: just a stepping stone. It is not the end all

605
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: be all. It's how you get ahead start in life,

606
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: and they don't morph that into now, making it a

607
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: nightmare experience for the great ones. Sorry, players ain't gonna

608
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: go through none of this. They could just milk it,

609
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: be a backup, get paid million dollars, stay out the spotlight,

610
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: and nobody got anything to say to them. But they're

611
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: great ones all they get measured like that, right, we're

612
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: splitting hairs. It's interesting. But when you're great, criticism is

613
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: the cost to praise great conversations. I'll be looking in

614
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: the comments to learn from you or unlearned, because sometimes

615
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: y'all say crazy stuff. But let's continue that conversation online.

616
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: All right, y'all know how we end the show every

617
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: single day? What a whyleism? Why leism? Does that work? Yet? Now? Yet? Okay,

618
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: here we go, y'all ready for this yo? See yeah,

619
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: here's the quote. No one tailgates for a test, No

620
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: one tailgates for a te Why is that a good whim?

621
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: Because it's a tough balance to be a student athlete,

622
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: and it's really tough to prioritize being a student and

623
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: an athlete. Right, we throw that term out there lazily like, oh,

624
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: it's student athlete, but we really mean athlete students in

625
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: so many cases, and for me, it was such a

626
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: challenge to actually be that guy when no one, it

627
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: felt like, was rewarding me for my academic success. Now

628
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: we know that's a windy, longer road athletic greatness. Shoot,

629
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: go to the pros academic greatness. What are you gonna do?

630
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: What are you gonna major in? Where are you gonna intern?

631
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: Where are you gonna work? You know, it's kind of

632
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: like playing baseball. You gotta go triple a, you gotta

633
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: go double a, you gotta single a. All that stuff, right,

634
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: And I know it's tough on parents as well to

635
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: prioritize books because no one tailgates for a test. Everybody.

636
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: You call your family all week. Hey, y'all, come into

637
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: the game Saturday. All its championship game. Girl, we don't

638
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: like Carson. We're gonna get Carson. Right, you're doing all that,

639
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: But when Johnny has a test, what are you gonna do?

640
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: Go to the school watch him take it? Number two

641
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: pencils sharpener, please, I'm ready, teacher, Like, you're not doing

642
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: none of that, right, you just wait till he comes home.

643
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: How are you doing your test? Good. Okay, can I

644
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: play video games? Yeah, okay, go. I mean it's not

645
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: even the same experience. No one tailgate for a test.

646
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: No one's sitting there three or four hours before a test,

647
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: getting drunk, hanging out talking today, boys sitting out, texts,

648
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: bonb fires, watch coolers out. None of that for a test.

649
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: And I just felt that I needed to highlight this

650
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: because it is a struggle for the kids and the parents,

651
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: because the culture is what's rewarded. What did they reward

652
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: early and fast and grander day reward athletic success. But

653
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: let me get you this quick story. The craziest thing

654
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: about success in terms of let's just say financial. We

655
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: gotta make it linear because success looks different to everybody.

656
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: Craziest thing about it is to the top of the

657
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: financial mountain. Let's use that. You get there climbing by

658
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: your brains higher than your body. You want to go

659
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: to the summit, to the peak, use your brain, not

660
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: your body. How did I learn this? Graduating from Colombia.

661
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: I remember seeing in the paper that we had three

662
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: active players at the time I was drafted. Yeah, I

663
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: burst down them the ball, I kicked them, walls down,

664
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: that glass ceiling I said, no, I'm coming through. And

665
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: then now everybody gets drafted from NIV league. Yeah. But

666
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, three active players and six owners. Six owners,

667
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: three active players. I was like, what And I know

668
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: them owners got that dodo. Why Remember the time I

669
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: was sitting there, Ralph will respect walked into the lunch room.

670
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at the table. I think Thurman was at

671
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: the next table, Andre Bruce all I played. Gabe Northern

672
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: was my boy. I'm sitting there eating with him, and

673
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: he sitting down. And Gabe Northern was a nut. That

674
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: was my dog. We used to call him zoo TuS

675
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: Tanious was a nut. And Gabe is sitting there. He like, man,

676
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: he should talk like this man seed. Ralph got enough

677
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: money to break Bruce off, break Thurman off, break dref,

678
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: break me off, break wild Style off, and Steve got

679
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: that dough. Basically, he's saying, this dude is rich enough,

680
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: excuse me, wealthy enough to pay all these rich guys

681
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: and still make profits. All I'm saying is that's a

682
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: good scenario, and that's a good place to be right. Well,

683
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: to get up there, you actually get up there higher

684
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: and greater, using your brain to your body. How many

685
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: billionaires are there? There are athletes? What Jordan Lebron Tiger.

686
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: Of all the thousands of athletes ever, we got three?

687
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: How many CEOs and billionaires? You know right? I mean billionaires?

688
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: Are there a thousand or something? Y'all do the math,

689
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: y'all do the numbers. The athletes are coming. But right now,

690
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: let's just make sure we have a balance in that.

691
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: Especially parents, stop hooping and hollering over your son over

692
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: there scoring touchdowns? What out hooping and hollering and over

693
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: them aids and bees? He's bringing home as well, because

694
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: that dedication should be rewarded the same as his athletic feats.

695
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for more too. It
