Who did you think was gonna win? 100 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: Were you surprised Cam Newton? I mean, I'm a huge fan, 101 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: but I felt like he dropped the ball. Uh, well 102 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: he dropped the ball literally, but ump up here all 103 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: week folks try to feel but but I felt like, 104 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: you know for me, and I've been, you know, I've been. 105 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: I've been talking good and bad because that's what I 106 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: do with the Iron Wrap Coorts Stereo podcast. But I 107 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: felt like, if you're gonna smile and talk shit and 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: and and enjoy the moment, not to say you you, 109 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: you should enjoy losing, but I felt like and and me, 110 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm the biggest sword loser you're ever probably gonna come 111 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: across the area. And even I would have been able 112 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: to go out there and been like congratulations with Peyton 113 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: Manning something something, but talk about the game, talk about 114 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: the whole history of it. Yes, I watched it. Um, 115 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 1: I honestly thought Carolina was gonna win because I didn't 116 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: think um Denver's offense was gonna be able to put 117 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: up that many points against Carolina's defense. And I knew 118 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: it was gonna be a defensive battle because both of 119 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: them have amazing defenses. That's how you win championships in 120 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: this league. Um. But yeah, you know, I was really 121 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: rooting for anybody. Um. It was good because coach Kobe 122 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: used to be my coach, so it's good to see 123 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: him win. Some of my ex teammates like going Daniels. 124 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: It was good to see him go get him a 125 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl rain. So I was happy for those guys. Um, 126 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: But you know, it's the Super Bowl hype is Um, 127 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: it's a it's a real thing, man, and it's crazy, 128 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: right Yeah. I think everything gets blown out of a 129 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: portion when it's at that level in terms of what 130 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: like the focus of the game or just that. I mean, 131 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the whole Cam Newton not not answering 132 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: questions thing. Um. I've been uh in that position, not 133 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: that position that it lost the Super Bowl and and 134 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: you were the MVP of the league, but I've been 135 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: in a position where I didn't want to talk to 136 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: the media after game because like I fumbled the ball 137 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: or something happened where I just wasn't confident in what 138 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: I was doing. And just know, like the questions like 139 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: what happened and you know they're gonna come. Um, But 140 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: I was just I can't speak for Cam, I really can't. 141 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: That's that's another grown man. But I was just, Um, 142 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: my father always just instilled in me, man, like you 143 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: gotta face the music, Like whether whether it's good or bad, 144 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: you gotta face the music. And I'm not judging Cam, like, 145 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: I feel like he was you. He's a lot of 146 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: that in my opinion, because there was a dude I 147 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: think on the other team that was answering questions behind 148 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: him right next and he was hearing. He's listening to it, 149 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: and so that I feel like that's that's not the 150 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: right way to conduct that interview. I do that because 151 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: it's just sort of adding fuel to the It's kind 152 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: of like I feel like the guy probably knew he 153 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: was right there too, so he's probably adding to it. 154 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: He's like, man, get out of my face. I feel 155 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: where he's coming from, right. Um. But I mean we 156 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: all can say we would do something different in in 157 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: that situation. It's hard to it's hard to judge, But 158 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: I try to judge men off of the h off 159 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: of their entire idea of work, not just one moment. 160 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: Now I agree, And like I said, I'm I'm a 161 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm a Cam, I'm a Cam Newton fan. Um, he's 162 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: also what is he? Twenty five years old? Sixty young 163 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: young kid man? It's crazy, I mean, and all the pressure, 164 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Uh, it was either gonna end perfectly 165 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: or I guess end like that because I mean as 166 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: far as like a season in the two weeks, and 167 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: the way he carries himself in in such a good way, 168 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: and to have that pressure and to have you know, 169 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: it just was everything was leading up. I wonder in 170 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: his head did he even imagine losing? Because I felt 171 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: like Caroline so so like, there's gotta be a sort 172 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: of like, you know, not like literally like some sort 173 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: of shock you're involved with that, Like, and then you're 174 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: out there, and Beyonce's out there, she's looking good, and 175 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: and and and you know, Bruno Mars is like, yo, 176 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: he's shorter than I thought, Like, there's all this ship 177 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: going on, and and so I guess, you know, and 178 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: I mean I would I would guess that. I mean, 179 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's retiring, right, I would think it's not a 180 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: better way to go out. Why why I play around 181 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: with it? I mean because during the season we've wobbled 182 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: all of ball. Job mid season or something like that. 183 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: He was hurt, That's what I mean. He came out, 184 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: he was doing good. How am I telling you this area? 185 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't watch football. Do you not watch 186 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: I watch zero football? Man? That's funny, huh? Are you serious? 187 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: Zero football? Come on? Man? I swear it's like, um, 188 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: did you watch it or do you just now like 189 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: like at some point obviously course, I used to be 190 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: a super fan growing up, like I loved it, but 191 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: once you see the business side of the game, you 192 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: just watch it differently. Like I was a Raider fan 193 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: growing up, I don't root for the Raiders anymore. Obviously, 194 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: I don't know for anybody anymore. I can because I'm pondering, 195 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, entering the last couple three or four years 196 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: of my career, and I'm thinking about what's life gonna 197 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: be like after football, and I'm looking at the game differently. 198 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking at I look at the game like, man, 199 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: I hope, I hope these guys just come out healthy, 200 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: right right, because they got families they have. You know, 201 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: it's not it's not just entertainment to me anyway. I 202 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: see the men and the humans behind them, which is uh, 203 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: it's a viewpoint, that advantage point that a lot of 204 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: people get to see. I get it, and so I 205 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: just don't watch the game entertainment purposes anymore. I Mean, 206 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: I do still enjoy the game. I love it, but 207 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: it's just hard for me to watch it from a 208 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: fan's perspective. Maybe I'll come back to later on, but 209 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: it's just hard to I hear you, I hear you. 210 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean Peyton was doing good, you know, 211 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: and then he then he was you know, then he 212 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's injuries with him. It's like 213 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: if Peyton Peyton Manny can't throw the balls because something 214 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: not right with Peyton Manning. I mean, any any NFL quarterback, 215 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: Like if he's doing that many ducks up in the 216 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: air and it's Peyton Manning throwing ducks, something's not right. 217 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: It's not like he just forgot how to throw the ball. 218 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: But you know, so, I mean I would imagine, you know, 219 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: I would think, and I hope he shuts it down 220 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: because they got there. This this is the way to 221 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: do it, you know what I mean. There's so many 222 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: areas I want to cover and and and just I 223 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you ever listened to the Iron Rapports 224 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: stereo podcast, but I go raw dog without a bag. 225 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: Can you attest? Do I have any notes in front 226 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: of me? I got nothing, just a dog and some water, 227 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: Just a dog and some water. And there's no there's 228 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: no tricks here. I am on a tight rope above 229 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: the twin towers walking the walk. This is it. So 230 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: so there's probably gonna be things that people come. You 231 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: didn't ask him this. How come we didn't ask him that? 232 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna stay focused the the the Marshawn Lynch, 233 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, um and and you you mentioned health, you 234 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: struggle with injuries, um And And you know, let's assume 235 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: one or both of these guys retire and Will Smith 236 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: and concussion um And And I want to talk, you know, 237 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: I want to talk about you know, that performance, because 238 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: I know you're you're you're starting to get into acting, 239 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: and I just want to let you know, like, don't 240 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: be trying to take any jobs from me. I know, 241 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: but I've heard like you're around, you're getting this job beginning. 242 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm watching you don't fucking come for any 243 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: of my job, okay, because I'm not. I don't. I 244 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: don't care, Like what are you twenty? Okay, So I'm 245 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: just saying, like the race could happen, like the UFC 246 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: ship could happen. I'm just letting you know. But but 247 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: but as far as like these guys retiring, how much 248 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: of a conversation is health after football now changed from 249 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: when you were in college too, when you even came 250 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: to the league, because it's it's every single dance mentioned. 251 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: It's huge. Man. Um, that's actually a big misconception that 252 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: goes on. It's like and in my generation of NFL 253 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: football players, we get it a lot because like we'll say, 254 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: we'll fight for a player of rights, will fight for this, 255 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: will fight for that, And like the rebuttal is, oh, well, 256 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: you knew what you were getting into. We didn't. As 257 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: far as the concussion stuff is, we didn't. The science 258 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: wasn't concrete on it until about five six years ago. 259 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: Now we know, but we all was already need deep 260 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: in it by I was already still trying to fix you. 261 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: So that's what I was doing. The younger generation growing up, 262 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: they are they know what they're getting into, right, We 263 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: did not know where we were getting We knew as 264 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: far as like the physicality of the game and it 265 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: was gonna hurt our shoulders and knees, but as far 266 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: as brain injuries, we were not aware of how big 267 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: a consequence is it could be. And that's a huge 268 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: misconception that um, I think doesn't get said enough. And 269 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean as well, if you think about how how 270 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: violent the game is. At at every game, you have 271 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: two paramedics on both ends, Like imagine going to work 272 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: and you have a paramedic because probably somebody's gonna need it. Right, 273 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: that's crazy. It is and and it's an occupational has 274 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: and it's entertainment and we we like, like I said, 275 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: we chose this route and it's a tough game. But um, 276 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: I just feel like the uh, the empathy gets um 277 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: kinda swept under the rug because of the money that's 278 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: that's involved, and people people don't um put as much 279 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: to the human side of you because you're getting paid 280 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: X amount of dollars and they assume every single person 281 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: is getting paid twenty million dollars. There's there's a handful 282 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: of guys on each team that are millionaires and the 283 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: rest of the guys our journeyman trying to make it. 284 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: They make a good living, right you. You could be 285 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: here one day going the next and and it's not 286 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: not everybody is a superstar million dollar athletes. It's not 287 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: like that. And then and and and breakdown you know, 288 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: in in in in layman's terms, you know, in terms 289 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: of like you know, some sports like there's dudes that 290 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: are retired from the NBA. I mean, some of my 291 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: Knicks who've retired are still getting of course I'm a 292 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: Knick fan. Yeah, well listen, I want to go down 293 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: that path. Right, but but but but but you know, 294 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: like in other sports, particularly basketball, you know there's guaranteed money. 295 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Exactly in the NFL, explain what that? What that there 296 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: about the guarantees and the lack of guarantees with your 297 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: contract and being cut could mean literally like yeah, you 298 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: get cut, see and that's that's another thing, is like 299 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: when you're fighting for player rights in the NFL, is 300 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: uh the guarantee contracts. We're still fighting to try to 301 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: get uh guaranteed contracts. I think you've signed. If you 302 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: signed a thirty million dollar contract in the NBA, no 303 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: matter what happens from that point, you're getting thirty million dollars. 304 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: You can get cut the next day that that team 305 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: still owes you, which is good and bad. I think 306 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: there's pros and cons to it. It's good for the players, 307 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: right because, um, but when you act a fool like 308 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: what's his name buying him who's still getting paid by 309 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: probably two or three teams, I think for the players. 310 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: For the most part, it's it's the right thing. But 311 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: then there's some knocklets. But but I'm sorry, stay on football. No, 312 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean, that's a great analogy, 313 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: and I would say that does nothing but hold accountability 314 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: to the people who are offering the contracts. So and 315 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: that's business. You take losses in business sometimes that business 316 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: one on one, right, um. And that's what people forget 317 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: is that this is a business first. And that's why 318 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: I always trying to tell young cats coming in the 319 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: NFL or whatever, it's like, this is a business, so 320 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: so treated like that. But we don't ever look like 321 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: like if if an owner cuts a guy because of 322 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: whatever salary cap reasons, whatever, it's like, oh, that's a 323 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: good business move, right, But if a guy wants a 324 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: trade and he's publicly demanding a trade, or he publicly 325 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: does something where he wants to go to another team, 326 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: he's looked at as a as a bad person to 327 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: make that, as a you know, locker room rider. He's 328 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: not a team person. And then it's bullshit, right, because 329 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: he's doing what's best for him and himself as his 330 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: his family. Right, it's a business move, right, But people 331 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: don't think about that like they like I said, they don't. 332 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: They don't look at you as a human anymore. When 333 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: you make a certain amount of money. They look at 334 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: you as a number in the jersey and that you're 335 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: just you have to do this and you should just 336 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: be exactly so. But so, but let's say, let's say 337 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: I get signed by the Houston Texans. They came after 338 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: me at one point of all right, and so they 339 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: say we want you, rap report five years, thirty million dollars. 340 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: I come out the first season, I kick ass. The 341 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: second season, I'm smoking weed in the off season, I'm 342 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: freaking off. This could happen anything, you know, all kind 343 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: of things go wrong. I come out the second season, 344 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: I blow my knee out, um because of the weed. 345 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Because of the weed. I came to practice with the weed. 346 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: J J. Watt. I tried to jump over his ass 347 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,359 Speaker 1: and practice. Blah blah blah blah. My knee is done. 348 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: They can say, fuck you, asshole, you were cutting you 349 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and they don't have to finish paying me. Uh. It 350 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: depends on how your contract is structure. So that's what 351 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: you're agent is for. Aging is nothing more but a lawyer. 352 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: So your lawyer goes in there and he structured a 353 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: deal a certain way, and so like my deal was structured. 354 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: I had a five year deal, and so I had 355 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: a certain amount guaranteed. So you have a certain amount guarantee. 356 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: No matter what happens, I'll get that I die the 357 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: next no matter or what. Yeah, so I need hear anything. 358 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: And then how they how they structure it later on 359 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: is up to the team, in the in the in 360 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: the agent. What what what owners like to do though, 361 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: is they like to make your contract back heavy, so right, 362 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: so they put all the real money in the back. 363 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: So they so they look at how you've been producing 364 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: or not producing, and then they say, what is he 365 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: worth thirteen million dollars in year four or fourteen million 366 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: dollars because he came from an A C L in 367 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: the second season and it's slowed, which is good business? Right? 368 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: But I always say is good like good business is 369 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: good business and bad morals? Right, I hear you? It 370 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: is what it is? How much of this have you 371 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: learned since you came into the league, Like how much 372 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: more like if you were renegotiating all your business and 373 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: all your contracts and all your endorsements now and you 374 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: could have like how much money do you think you 375 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: could have saved or made based on what you know 376 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: now about the business of professional football? So much more really, 377 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: so much more like what I would do, And I 378 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: would trying to tell young cast this.

Agents take three percent, and that's 383 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: the industry standard in the NFL.

That's why we worked with each other. 499 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: But I went to Applebee's one time and spent thirty 500 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: seven dollars and he called me.

I'm spraying 513 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: water on its trying to wash it off. Water makes 514 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: it actively, so it makes it worse. So so I'm burning. 515 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: And my head coach at the time was kobiak Um. 516 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: He's laughing. You know, it's because he's rookie stuff going on, 517 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm like, coach, i gotta take my 518 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: go ahead, take it off and it clean it out. 519 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: It was the funniest head. But he did. He did. 520 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: He'd put it in my shoes. He stole my playbook 521 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: every day he was messing with me. Man. And it's 522 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: just like it is this a real thing with the 523 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: with the the hazing now, Like have you guys been 524 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: told like yo, you can't do it or don't do 525 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: it when the cameras around, or you know, you can't 526 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: like what it's like. They don't. They don't want you 527 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: to do it to the point where you feel like 528 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: you're the meaning another human right, We're it's taking it 529 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: too far. Like what was the player? It was the 530 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: Jonathan what was the running the lineman? It was the lineman. Um, 531 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't watch football, come on, man, Well there's the 532 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 1: whole thing with the r anyway, So I think that 533 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: thing took it over the top. And it also ship 534 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: I don't you know one of the one of the 535 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: one of the things we pride ourselves on at the 536 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: Iron Report Stereo podcast is I don't fact check anything good. 537 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: So you don't watch football, I don't fact check. Like, 538 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm surprised were even able to have a conversation because 539 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: like it. But but the kids have gotten hurt, you know, 540 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: and then they dumped somebody whatever. Okay, So so it's 541 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: it's it is a thing now like dial it down. Yeah, 542 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: we used to us used dumb rookies in the ice tub. 543 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: You can't do that anymore. No, they can't do it anymore. Damn. 544 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: I felt like it was always a writing Yeah, I 545 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: mean in the ice tub. That's a good time, you 546 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And it helps you joints. It's 547 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, I mean you know, like, um, 548 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: people are sensitive man. Yeah they the political correct police. 549 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: Definitely right, definitely all right. So so going back to 550 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: the concussion things. So so first of all, do you 551 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: think these guys are gonna like, do you think it's 552 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: gonna be more um common that players retire early? You 553 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: think that's that's a conference like you guys are that's 554 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: a conversation. You guys are aware of it, Yes for sure. Um, 555 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: because once you once you make a certain amount of 556 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: money in the NFL, you're not mean and you gotta 557 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: remember why guys play NFL football. Most of these guys, 558 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: I would say the majority seventy them come from low 559 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: income housing, right, They come from the ghettos and they're 560 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: just trying to make a way out. So once you 561 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: get a certain amount where your family stable, what are 562 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: you playing for? Like, like there's I can't explain to 563 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: the average NFL consumer how fils waking up after a 564 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: game or you get thirty carries Like I'm limping to 565 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: my I want to hear about that, yea, So tell me, 566 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: like what what is what is Monday morning after a game? 567 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: A full game? I say, wake up? Okay, vivid memory 568 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: I have. I mean it depends on if you want 569 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: to lose, because if you win most of the time, 570 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: if you get the Monday off, but sometimes they'll have 571 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: you come in and watched the film. Like it depends 572 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: on if you went to loose, but to tough loss 573 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: thirty carries thirty carries, And I mean what does your 574 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: body feel like? I mean mean, what does your body 575 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: feel like? This is as a running back. Now everybody 576 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: feel like Tom Brady doesn't wake up feeling like this 577 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: for the most part because they don't get they get hit. 578 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: Maybe once twice he did after he did after that 579 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: Bronco game. Possibly they got in that ass, No Bruno, 580 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: they got in his ass real nice because I I, 581 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: you know one thing, I don't support the Patriots. I 582 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: funk with Tom Brady. I respect them, but they tapped 583 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: that ass real proper. Von Miller and them got in 584 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: that ass, real proper, No Bruno. All right, So anyway, 585 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: so no break it down. I just want to break 586 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: it down the feeling, because this is something that I 587 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: think that the NFL and and I noticed they're not 588 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: showing this as much. But I think as a fan, 589 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, like and and and and you know, and 590 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: as a fan of the sport, and you know, like 591 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: you want to know, like because we see you guys 592 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: at the press conference, we see you guys hyped up 593 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: before the game. I want to know about what we 594 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: don't see and what you go through thirty carries. I 595 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: think there's two types of fans. Two types of fans. 596 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: The one that is um that respects and admires and 597 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: understands what we put our body through. And there's other 598 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: ones just shut up and entertainment and those are those 599 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: was a real uh spectrum that that I actually go through. UM. 600 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: But so after a game carry game, you don't walk 601 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: very well. It's hard to and you don't really feel 602 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: all the bumps and bruises that you have. The day 603 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: of you're still writing on adrenaline, you're still running on 604 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: pain killers. UM. And then the next day you wake 605 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: up you see things that you didn't see. We were there, bruises, scrapes, uh, 606 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: just stuff that you didn't really feel until after day 607 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: after the game, day after the and you don't. I don't. 608 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't really run full speed until about Thursday or Friday. 609 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: It's hard to recover until those days. Like it's just 610 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: part of what we do. What what was your hardest 611 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: Monday after a game? Like, I mean, like what was 612 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: your like where you were like, holy shit, Uh we were. 613 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: It was two thousand twelve. I remember vividly. It was 614 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: two thousand twelve and we played Chicago at Chicago and 615 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: it was raining and they have one of the worst 616 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: fields when it's raining is the footing is terrible, so 617 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: we couldn't throw the ball. And this is when we 618 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: were running heavy offense. This is when we went UM 619 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: twelve and four UM and I got twenty nine carries 620 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: and it was just a slow and I remember waking 621 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: up the next morning, uh and not being able to 622 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: walk to the bathroom, Like I literally took my bathroomb 623 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: is probably fifteen steps from my bed, Like it literally 624 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: took me probably like three minutes, like literally to get 625 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: that because like I just was limp. I couldn't move 626 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: my body. I couldn't couldn't move. Yeah, And the more 627 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: and more you walk, the more it kind of moves. 628 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean your body kind of moves. Uh, you kind 629 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: of get the kinks out. And then were you scared now? 630 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: Because I mean at that by that time, I'm used 631 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: to it. And then and then what happens like and 632 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: then what's the rest of your day? Like are you 633 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: at the doctor? Like? And then like and then you 634 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: got to go back to work? Well it is It's 635 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: like the one thing that I think all fans is 636 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: like you forget that, like not every day. I remember 637 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: Alan Iverson got into a thing when when he was 638 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: in his prime, he was saying, not everything. I don't 639 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: want to go to play ball every day, Like I 640 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: don't want to go to practice every day. This wasn't 641 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: even the practice, right, I don't want to go to 642 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: shoot around every day, and I, like a normal person, 643 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: like I don't want to, you know, go to the 644 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: construction site every day, or even if you have a job, 645 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: that's even like you know, you forget that it's work 646 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: and that tuesdays you might just want to chill.

Because this is something that I think it's 680 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: another thing that they're discussing. I think the games are 681 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: whacked anyway. I mean I like it because you know, 682 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: we'd like to see you guys play, but sun Day 683 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: and then you have to fly to a Thursday game. Yeah, 684 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: I hate that. So what is the week like? So, 685 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: so Monday is not an easy day. That's another thing 686 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: I said. I caught a lot of flight four was like, uh, 687 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL and and the whole and the whole, 688 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: they they're all about players safety and it's like bullshit. 689 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: Well you're the first one to speak out about that. 690 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: I did, But like our team wasn't winning at the time, 691 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: so you don't get a lot of pressent a long 692 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: time ago. Uh, if they really gave a shit about us, 693 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: they would not have Thursday night games. It's brutal. It's 694 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: the worst. It's the worst ever. Like you don't even practice. 695 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: All you do is have walked through. It's a whole week, 696 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: the whole week, because that's all you can do is 697 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: walk physically. Yeah, you can't do anything else. And you 698 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: have to travel, and you have to travel, like sometimes 699 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: you don't, which is better, but like if you have 700 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: to travel, it's works.

I knew it exactly 738 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: what it was, and it's just it's just shitty because 739 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: it's like you put.

You hear what's going on? 753 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: Are you like, holy shit? Are you thinking about your future? 754 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: Are you thinking about like I'm never gonna do this again? 755 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: And like like what's going through your head when you 756 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: went through that injury? Me, I was just living just 757 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: like livid, just mad because it wasn't so much pain 758 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: like you had your senses about. No, it wasn't. It wasn't. 759 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: That wasn't the pain like the physical I mayn't hurt, 760 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: but it's um it was just like you just think about, man, 761 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: all that work I put in, Like I literally like 762 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: I pride myself on how hard I worked. That's how 763 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: I got in the NFL. I was undrafted, nobody gave 764 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: me anything. I pride myself phone working harder than anybody 765 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: around me. And so I put myself. But before the 766 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: season started, I was in the best shape that I've 767 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: ever been in my life. And uh, like, I mean, 768 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 1: all my teammates could see it. They're like they always 769 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: say that this is gonna be his best year. I 770 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: felt it was gonna be my best year. And I 771 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: remember just like being livid, just just being upset at 772 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: the fact that I don't want to say wasted the 773 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: time because it was. But it was just like because 774 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: you gotta start from square one, man, it's just like 775 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: right back to yeah. And then and then the doubt 776 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: sets in and you start hearing all these people that 777 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: don't know shit about anything talking about this, and he's 778 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: not gonna do this, He's not gonna do that. And 779 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 1: then it just the motivation starts back and and and 780 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: have you has your recovery like it's started like because 781 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: it's an injury like that, like you have to start 782 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: working out, like you have to start recovering, and then 783 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: well you have to you have to fix it first. 784 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: And so I was in I was in a cast 785 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: for like two weeks and then a soft cast for 786 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: another month, and then she's badly started pushing pressure on it, 787 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: like I think two or three months afterwards. And this 788 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: is like the similar to what Kobe went through. The 789 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: same same man. Man.

So watch football because most football down 818 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: or any I mean, I was like, even football fans 819 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: don't want to see that ship, especially during the middle 820 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: of the season. Like it's like I watched. I mean 821 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: like I'm like, I know the players don't want to 822 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 1: see this ship, like it's we're trying to make a 823 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: playoffer and I don't want to see Will Smith. I 824 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: heard he did his thing, though I heard I heard 825 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: was one of his best performances. I mean, he's always good, 826 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: but but I I knew that accent was gonna be 827 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: an issue going into I could hear it, like you 828 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: know how you see football and I'm no, this is 829 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: no disrespect to Will Smith, but I just I knew 830 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: that accent was going to be a problem. But so 831 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: so I'm just playing Will Smith and he's not probably 832 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: gonna come on the podcast. So so the rumor that 833 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm hearing is that you've been dipping your your toe 834 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: and dipping the back of your ankle and a newly healed, 835 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: healthy achilles into the acting world. Uh, yeah, you've been 836 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: hearing correctly. So so where did that come from? Our 837 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,479 Speaker 1: are are you serious about? Like how did it come about? 838 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: And like what's your what's your your your point of view? 839 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: Want it like or is it something you're exploring or 840 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: is it like a hobby. It's like, how did you 841 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: even just come about? I've always been into the art 842 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: of performing, and so, um, when I was in high 843 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: school and in the middle school, used to take improv 844 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: classes and so I used to just love doing improv 845 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: like Who's line as anyway, that kind of stuff, And 846 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: we used to take acting classes just for fun. I 847 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: just love it, And um, I always felt like I 848 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: had a little niche for and so UM, I figured, 849 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, you only get one shot at this life thing, 850 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: so you might as well empty the bucket. Just do 851 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: everything that you feel you want to do, right, And 852 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: so I got an opportunity to be on hawaifiive O 853 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,240 Speaker 1: when I was at the Pro Bowl. They needed somebody 854 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: to come fill in, and so I did it and 855 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: everyone was ever really receptive and they're like, yo, you 856 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: can do this, and so I was like, okay, cool, 857 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: and so we got another opportunity to being Draft day 858 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: Kevin Costiner. So I did that same thing. Everybody was 859 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: really receptive and they said you need to go ahead 860 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: and pursue this. So I said, you know, why not? 861 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: And so that's crazy. So did you did you enjoy? Uh, 862 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: the the park in draft? They did you enjoy? Like? 863 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: That process was fun? It was fun. Had you been 864 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: on sets before sides beside the Hawaii five Ocean? No, 865 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: I've never been on the set before. Well what did 866 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: you What did you take away? Like, what did you 867 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: learn about the magic the quote unquote magic of of 868 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: of movie and television making? Like lower right? What I 869 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: learned was it's hurry up and wait to hurt you. 870 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: It's a real hurry up, and they want you there 871 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: at six am and you don't shoot till ten and 872 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: then they might even say anything to you till eight exactly. 873 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: And so see, that's something I gotta hit you to 874 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: like they say six, you'd be like, that's the time 875 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: you want me there? What time do I need to 876 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: be there? Exactly? Yeah, And I'm learning that because they're 877 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: always like they're like five, like the fucking cruise now, 878 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: you like, no one's gonna be there at five. But 879 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: I always just showed up anyway. I don't I don't 880 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: even have anything else to do that day, so MIGHT 881 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: will just show up when they want. Um my figure 882 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: makes people's lives easier, man, Absolutely, I'm not that uh 883 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 1: into myself. But I think the craziest thing I took 884 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: from it was, uh, my first scene I ever shot 885 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: in the movie was I was walking down uh a 886 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: New York uh downtown manhatting block uh with Terry Crews 887 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: played my father right in the movie, and so this 888 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: is my first scene ever. And so I'm with an 889 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 1: established actor and Terry Crews known uh And in New 890 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: York they can't block off It's not like l A 891 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: where they can block off sets and have extras walking 892 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: like those are real people, right, So they're screaming Terry 893 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: Arry like that you know what I'm saying right here 894 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,439 Speaker 1: on board, like you know what I'm saying you gotta 895 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: focus on the last focus and um, and I did. 896 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: I did a good job at it. And that's what 897 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: Terry did a real good job of kind of hitting 898 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: me it again because he came from that world to right. 899 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: He's a football player, so um, it was really cool. 900 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: But I think what I also noticed is like I'm 901 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: a real stickler about like remember my lines because I 902 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,959 Speaker 1: didn't want to. I don't. I don't ever want people 903 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: to think I'm coming in just trying to coming because 904 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: I played football, right, there's no erogance like I want 905 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: to start from the bottom and I want to earn 906 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: my keeping business. Um, so I knew all my lines. 907 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: I tried. I try not to ever mess up. But 908 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: He's like, man, sometimes I just mess up on purpose 909 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: just to get the jitters out. It's not that serious. 910 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: And I was like, man, okay, that makes it a 911 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: little bit. And and acting as posted you know, taking 912 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: you know, you got the ball at the one yard line, 913 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: you get a take two, you get so yeah, I gotta. 914 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the most important thing about acting 915 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: probably you know one thing that you know I'm always 916 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: uh when you watch like somebody like Steph Curry or 917 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: when I was talking about the way you run when 918 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: you're when you're in your groove, you know, and the 919 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: same like when you watch a great actor, you know, 920 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: you have to be relaxed and there's a comfort and 921 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,399 Speaker 1: you know, probably for you, you know, getting the ball 922 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: at the five air line, there's probably a certain time 923 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: where it's probably like you're in a suspended reality and 924 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: there's like you're not tight, whereas the normal person would 925 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: be like oh ship. You know. So you know, like 926 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: to achieve that in acting is the goal. You know 927 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Repetition. Repetition is the mother of learning 928 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: because because you know, like when you watch like a 929 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: guy like Curry, or when you watch like you know, 930 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: uh Cam or anybody who's in the zone playing playing 931 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: sports like they're not you know, or you watch Lebron 932 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: or like when they slow it down, like when you 933 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: see those slow motion clips of Mike Jordan's tongues out, 934 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: there's no stress in his face. No, that's that's That's 935 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: exactly I try to tell young athletes is is like 936 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: if um, you you watch all the greats, they're relaxed, 937 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: they're relaxed. It's like when you tent up. That's you 938 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: can't um be at your physical peak and your mental both. Yeah. 939 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: If if you watch Lebron James when he drives the 940 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: ball down the uh, he's really relaxed. His face bands 941 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: looking around. You watch old clips of or even new 942 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: clips of you same boat running down the track. When 943 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: he runs down the track, his face is bouncing up 944 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: and down. Because that's crazy relaxed. Yeah, yeah, secret that 945 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 1: people don't know. I was gonna say that about about 946 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: about like the sprinters when they slow it down, there's 947 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: no scrunch and they're just breathing. And I mean there 948 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: there that has to be a similar thing for athletes 949 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: and and and uh you know, and and acting. Um 950 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 1: so so who who if you have to say your 951 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: your your top five films, films, films of all times, 952 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: say check this out.

Denzel, he's sort of the he's 958 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: sort of the dude. I mean, I mean as far 959 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 1: as like actor, movie star, like he's the whole. He's 960 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 1: just like it doesn't matter what he does, you want 961 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 1: to be that. Like he had me wanting to be 962 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: a trained conductor right like I want to do that 963 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: right now. He's just that good.

First of all, when you're walking in the arena, 1042 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: are you listening to music or you just don't want 1043 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: to hear any bullshit? You guys, everybody's rocking both because 1044 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: it's because it's like because I mean, I like music, 1045 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: but I mean everybody's almost now it's like a cliche, 1046 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 1: like the headphones. So so when you're walking in and 1047 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: how conscious of you are, like because the whole athletes 1048 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: fashion game, because you you know, like you carry yourself 1049 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,839 Speaker 1: because you're well dressed, you got your bead, you got 1050 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: your hat, like your smooth dude, like you know how 1051 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 1: like how how conscious are you guys of looking good 1052 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: and the fashion and all that stuff. I used to 1053 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 1: be extremely I used to both tized and I used 1054 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: to get a dressed to the nines. I used to 1055 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 1: like love dressing up. But like I said, as I 1056 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: grew in my career, I just stopped caring, Like I 1057 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: don't care anymore. Like I stopped wearing suits. I threw 1058 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: away all my suits, so you don't have any suits. 1059 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: But is it is it? Is there a dress code? 1060 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: There's a dress code? But I asked my coach if 1061 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,919 Speaker 1: I could because because he said, because the zones, you 1062 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: coming like a homeless person, the rule is you have 1063 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: to dress formal. And so I went with the technically, 1064 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 1: I said formal And what culture he said, because former 1065 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 1: in this culture is the business suit and tie and 1066 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 1: it's like where that came from? That came from Europe? 1067 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: And yeah, I got you down to him. So the 1068 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: Indian guard that I have, it's called it's such with a. 1069 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: I forget what it's called, but it's an Indian guard 1070 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: that they wear. It goes blow your knees and it's 1071 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: really smooth, really nice looking, and I can wear sweats 1072 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,399 Speaker 1: and some loafers and it looks really, it looks good. 1073 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: They just don't want dudes coming in. You know. What 1074 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 1: you know who's screwed it up is when I'm not 1075 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: naming names, but when when the basketball players started coming 1076 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,439 Speaker 1: in to NBA games wearing other jerseys, Like, Yo, you're 1077 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: in the NBA, my man, you don't need to wear 1078 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 1: a jersey. I mean, this is in the lighting, Like, 1079 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 1: but you're in the nb You're already got it. But 1080 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,720 Speaker 1: I'm saying there's others. I say, And then some dude 1081 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 1: in the NBA because wearing a jersey while he was 1082 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 1: on his bench, Like what you're doing? Give me a 1083 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: Sacramental King wearing the Milwaukee Bucks jersey because you got 1084 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,320 Speaker 1: an ankles. But if that was um, well Chamberlain's jersey, 1085 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 1: Like but you know what I'm saying. Fans of the 1086 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: game too, So I get what you're saying. That's it, 1087 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,040 Speaker 1: that's taking it too far, like Jean, but it was. 1088 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 1: There was a case taking a long time ago to 1089 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court in the Constitution says that the way 1090 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: you dress is a freedom of speech. So the dress 1091 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: is also correlated with speech. So I always say, I 1092 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 1: don't really care what people wear. I think it's just 1093 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: a facade anyway right here. So I always say dress comfortable, man, 1094 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: because who cares? And and like we we we we 1095 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 1: And I love Cam, but my man, first of all, 1096 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't look comfortable. That's the thing about the Cam stuff. Yo. 1097 00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's got to have at least 1098 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 1: size thirteen boats because I've seen Camp. He's got these 1099 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: shoes and they just don't look comfortable. And like, I mean, 1100 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 1: do you guys, you gotta break balls, like who who's 1101 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 1: the best dresser? But like that that that that puts 1102 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: effort into it on your team. Um, I would say, 1103 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson in the corner, okay, and he dresses, he 1104 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,360 Speaker 1: goes hard, but he goes hard. Yeah, he uh, he 1105 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: does it. He has I think his shoe collection is 1106 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 1: bigger than his room, like he does he does a lot. 1107 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: And and who who do you think has too much 1108 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: time on their hand at Barney's on your team, like 1109 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: who do you think takes it? Or in the league 1110 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 1: that you're like, who do you think is going too far? 1111 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: And Odell Beckham? At what point is how much magenta 1112 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 1: is too much magenda for a wide receiver? So that's 1113 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: a two part question. So who in the league do 1114 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: you think has a little who's spending a little bit 1115 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: too much time at Barney's?

I hear you, all right. And here's 1243 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: another thing. I'm interested because you were you were one 1244 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 1: of the first. And I have a friend, my friend Toby, 1245 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: who's hardcore vegetarian. He might even be a vegan now 1246 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 1: and and I'm not. I mean, my my, my girl, 1247 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: she's trying to get on some vegetarian ship now. And 1248 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's fine, do your thing. I I just 1249 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: need to eat something. I don't care if you're making 1250 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: the food. So, so, what's your deal with the vegetarianism 1251 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: the veganism? Are you vegetarian? Was that something you were exploring? 1252 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: It was so I've always been into nutrition and what 1253 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: you put in your body. And so before a season, 1254 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 1: before two thousand twelve, so this is what four years ago. Yes, 1255 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 1: I was a vegan for about six months and then 1256 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: about mid season I was like, all right, I'm gonna 1257 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 1: eat because why because why why did I start eating? Meeting? Well? 1258 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: Why did you? Why did you start? Like? Why were 1259 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 1: you exploring being vegan? A vegetarian? Vegan? Okay, then you 1260 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: need more. I don't even like saying vegan. I like 1261 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: saying plant base that because when you hear vegan, you 1262 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: you think tofu, you think stuff like that. But like 1263 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: plant bases, the stigmas attached. There's a lot of stiment. 1264 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you arian, when you say plant based, 1265 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 1: just sucking stigmas attacked too, Because I'm like, what do 1266 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 1: we lettuce? Yeah, lettuce, vegetables, potatoes, really good stuff tomatoes. 1267 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: So so, how did your body change in the positive 1268 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 1: to be in a vegan? Um? I uh? Or you're 1269 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 1: recovered a lot faster? Did you really recovered a lot faster? 1270 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 1: I noticed that, um, and I just I felt I 1271 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 1: felt really energetic. It worked, But um, I I really 1272 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 1: enjoyed the taste of meat. So I went back UM 1273 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 1: and still I still get these questions like are you vegan? Right? 1274 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 1: It was four years ago? Stigma right. It's because like 1275 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 1: I said, like the media loves blood, so like anything 1276 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: that's new or anything, they'll attack it, and so then 1277 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 1: you get all the baggage of that stereotypes. So I 1278 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 1: tried it for six months and four years later, so 1279 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: asked answering questions, but also for the for as an athlete, 1280 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: because also like you know, the fans are like yo, 1281 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 1: I want to be built like Area Foster. I want 1282 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: to be able to run like you know. So I 1283 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 1: think it's and also I think it's so much a 1284 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,560 Speaker 1: part of the the the the you know, the lexicon 1285 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,479 Speaker 1: of what goes on the vegetarian vegan. It's so much 1286 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: of you know, part of the like what you know, 1287 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: people are talking about and exploring health and all, which 1288 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,600 Speaker 1: is a good thing. That's why That's why I think 1289 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 1: I got so much attention when I when I did 1290 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 1: do it was because you don't hear about um professional athletes, 1291 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: especially football player. Yeah. So um, I think what I 1292 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 1: my main goal was was to uh get interested. It's 1293 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 1: it's part of all part of what am I doing. 1294 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 1: My foundation as well, try to get inner city kids 1295 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: and and inner city schools as well, to start thinking 1296 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 1: about healthy options for eating, because obesity at a young 1297 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: age is a real epidemic in our country and it 1298 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't be like, right, we live in a country, Like 1299 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: we live in a world where I don't know how much, 1300 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: but like there's third world countries where the entire nations 1301 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 1: are are starving. Right, we live in a country where 1302 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: our problem is weak too much. Like that's fucking crazy, right, 1303 01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: So we should start thinking about healthier options and exercise options. 1304 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear that. That makes a lot 1305 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: of sense. So what so what is you? What is 1306 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: your foundation?

I got my own channel. 1338 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 1: We don't have any programs on there, but I mean everybody, 1339 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: it's almost out of control now. Um. I hope that 1340 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 1: the bubble doesn't burst with it because it's a great 1341 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 1: time for television. But there's so many shows and then 1342 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 1: it's dawn thing. It's like ship Breaking has a seventh season, 1343 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 1: like Breaking Back still going on. No, but I think 1344 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: they did six or seventh season maybe. But one thing 1345 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 1: I can say about Breaking Bad as a show, it's 1346 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,320 Speaker 1: on in you don't have to be like wait till 1347 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 1: episode eight of the second season.

I mean that is 1358 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 1: the biggest no. For sure, we should put that in 1359 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 1: your foundation. Like these kids like off the phone. That's 1360 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 1: what keep kids off phone, yo, because it's bad news. 1361 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 1: They get cracked out on. Yeah. Man, I'm cracked out online. 1362 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm on the fence about it though. I'm on the fence. 1363 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,760 Speaker 1: Are you how how heavy are you on like Twitter 1364 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:57,240 Speaker 1: and Instagram? Like I used to be a super Twitter guy. 1365 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: Did you ever say anything you got in trouble for 1366 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 1: all the time? Did you all the time? Then they 1367 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: I mean after a while people are just like, Okay, 1368 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: he just says crazy ship all the time. So like 1369 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: we don't pay attentions to do it anymore. But I 1370 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 1: used to say stuff that got me in trouble all 1371 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 1: the time, and especially with the league, and there's such 1372 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 1: parameters and speaking and then another thing that's like you know, 1373 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 1: like that's something that you said that caused a lot 1374 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: of hysteria. Hysteria and I don't have strong points of 1375 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 1: viewing it, but I was thinking, when I when when 1376 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: when I know it's gonna interview being a football player, 1377 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Being a football player in the state of Texas, which 1378 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 1: is you know, that's that's the it's I mean, you know, 1379 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,720 Speaker 1: the state in the Union. I mean that's like it 1380 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,160 Speaker 1: doesn't get more. Like you know, you had made a 1381 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 1: comment about being an atheist. I don't know how that 1382 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 1: was brought up, but talk to me about how that 1383 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,480 Speaker 1: sort of because that was sort of got crazy too, 1384 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: you know. So and and that's another thing, like you know, 1385 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 1: like the vegetarian that's one thing. It's like, yeah, I 1386 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 1: just had a stake you know in Texas, right, it's 1387 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: like I'm a vegan atheists in Texas that you're a 1388 01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 1: black vegan. A how did that com and even come up? 1389 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Like where did that even the whole thing come from? 1390 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 1: It was, um, how did that come up? It was 1391 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 1: an interview that I got uh asked about. Um. I've 1392 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 1: always been very um opinion I don't say opinionated, but 1393 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: I've always questioned anything. I was just raised like that, 1394 01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,720 Speaker 1: you question everything, and so um, I would say when 1395 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 1: I was, I would say when I was in high school. Um, 1396 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: that's when I was. I was agnostic in high school 1397 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 1: and that's when I totally did Yeah, I was, I 1398 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 1: did away with religion, but I still feel it felt 1399 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 1: like there was a higher power. Um. And as I 1400 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 1: grew in my studies in college and kind of doing 1401 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: my own research on religion and where it came from 1402 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 1: and then where the whole god concept came from, UM, 1403 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 1: it kind of just straded me away from it. And 1404 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm not. Um, like I said, I'm not one of 1405 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 1: those atheists who were like picketing and like that's not me. 1406 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 1: I just I just don't feel like it's very probable 1407 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: that there is a God. I just this is my opinion. Um, 1408 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 1: there could. I'm right, I'm affordive there is. But like 1409 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: I just, I just say, we uh search and find 1410 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 1: the evidence. I mean, that's that's where I stand on. Like, 1411 01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't. I don't judge or 1412 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 1: condemned people beliefs like you believe what you believe. I have. 1413 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 1: My brother is a Muslim, I was raised Muslim, my 1414 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 1: sister is a Christian. We're all over the spectrum. So uh, 1415 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just a super believer in Uh. We all 1416 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 1: have to occupy this same space and times, so we 1417 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 1: gotta get along. I hear whatever you believe, man, you believe, 1418 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 1: like I'm not, I'm not gonna judge you for it. 1419 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 1: But but what But when you had said that, what 1420 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: was the backlash and the short ship storm that came 1421 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 1: from it, especially, you know, being a player and then 1422 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,480 Speaker 1: being a player in Houston. It's I mean, it's definitely 1423 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: different being a player from in Texas because Bill, you know, 1424 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,439 Speaker 1: he's on HBO on his show, he's he's an he taught. 1425 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm surprised. Like the ship he says, like 1426 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 1: he he just ships all over all religious hilarious. Yeah, 1427 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 1: he belittles it. I mean, you know, and it's it's taken. 1428 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 1: But an NFL player, you know, it's it's like like, 1429 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, you did something wrong. Yeah, for sure. At first, 1430 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 1: I got a lot of love from um uh people 1431 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,400 Speaker 1: who are atheists in Texas. Because that's one of the 1432 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 1: reason why I did it, was I came out publicly 1433 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 1: at all, was because there's a lot of people who 1434 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: are religious or in religious households that don't believe that, 1435 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: and they just feel they don't feel comfortable in their 1436 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 1: own shoes. So when other public figures come out, public 1437 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 1: figures that they happen to look up to or maybe not, 1438 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,520 Speaker 1: but they just see when other public figures come out 1439 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 1: and say that it's okay to believe like this. That's why, 1440 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: that's why I'm kind of on the fense about you know, 1441 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 1: our people on their phones too much. It's a it's 1442 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 1: a it's a it's a connection to the entire world. 1443 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: So a kid can look at an interview on my 1444 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 1: phone on his phone and see, you know, arian fosters 1445 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 1: and atheists. I have some of these same thoughts. Maybe 1446 01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: I should go explore this further, and whether whether he 1447 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 1: goes there or doesn't, at least you should. I always 1448 01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 1: tell people like, go question you believe because if if you're, 1449 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 1: if you're, if you're firming solid on your beliefs, then 1450 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 1: that that believes you as a firm in style in 1451 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 1: human being. I hear you, and so I got all 1452 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 1: of love from the atheist community. But as far as 1453 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 1: the backlash, you get that too. Um Like, like you said, 1454 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 1: I've dealt with some injuries in my career, so you 1455 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 1: get that that's why you're always injured. And I'm like, 1456 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 1: they can't even see the irony in that though, right, 1457 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 1: So like it's like if God is in here injured atheist, like, 1458 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: how petty is that? Right? Right? That's funny, but no, man, 1459 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. The Internet is a crazy place. 1460 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:34,680 Speaker 1: The Internet. It's just into the league was the Internet 1461 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: that it's crazy right now. It's just like you hear 1462 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 1: things about yourself, like in my dark I'm like, Jesus, 1463 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 1: I hate myself, but I never would even like, I mean, 1464 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 1: you're really right, like you're making me think about things 1465 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 1: I never thought about. I got lucky because my mother 1466 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 1: was like she's she's not overprotective, but she just really 1467 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 1: loves her kids. And so I was at the University 1468 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,760 Speaker 1: of Tennessee and at the time, I mean, the Internet 1469 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 1: was around, but it wasn't as prevent like you didn't 1470 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 1: have all the social media's, right. So she was on 1471 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 1: something called the like vall Chats, And I went the 1472 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 1: University of Tennessee and so like she was on there. 1473 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 1: So she signed in his foster moment. When I first 1474 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,000 Speaker 1: came on, I was really uh, I was a really 1475 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 1: good freshman, and they all showed her all this love. Man. 1476 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: I think my entire career that fumbled five times, very 1477 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,400 Speaker 1: little percentage, right, I guess the when I fumbled really 1478 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,240 Speaker 1: hurt those fans like feelings, and they just went to 1479 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 1: this day. If you say air and Foster someplace in Tennessee, 1480 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, he fumbled, He's a piece of It's crazy. 1481 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 1: So like they used to get on my mom on 1482 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 1: the boards all the time. It makes to read some 1483 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 1: of this stuff. And so I got, I got. I 1484 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,680 Speaker 1: got kind of thrown to that mess early. So I 1485 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,760 Speaker 1: learned you can't pay attention to what people say. Nine 1486 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: of the people that talk on the internet, they see 1487 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 1: you face to face, they'll show you love. And then 1488 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say they won't even not only 1489 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,120 Speaker 1: will they not say it, they want to it self. Yeah, 1490 01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 1: they'll show you love. Yeah. So it's it's more they 1491 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: just they just um, they're their hardest on the keyboard. Man.

If you 1554 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,439 Speaker 1: look at you can go on Internet and type in 1555 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 1: Airan Forster College highlights and then go typing Airan Foster 1556 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 1: NFL highlights. The difference is my brother because of what 1557 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 1: specifically the way he trains and the way he attacks um. 1558 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 1: The way he trains so he breaks down like if 1559 01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 1: you're an athlete, he break down what your attributes are on, 1560 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 1: what your weaknesses are, and then he attacks him and uh, 1561 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,400 Speaker 1: he has a track background, and so um, he's a 1562 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,240 Speaker 1: he's a firm believer in speeds, pep speed, and so 1563 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 1: he got me faster, he got me quicker, did he? Yeah? 1564 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:38,880 Speaker 1: If you like I say, I'm saying, as you look 1565 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 1: at my college highlights and then go back and then 1566 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,759 Speaker 1: look at my nfliglights, you'll see a different player. Okay, 1567 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,000 Speaker 1: So so you work out with your brother, I may 1568 01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,800 Speaker 1: be gonna gonna look this guy up, check him out. Yeah, 1569 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 1: and and see, you know, I'll get a test run 1570 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,680 Speaker 1: and see what he can work with this. See, we 1571 01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 1: see what we could do with me. So, but when 1572 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,400 Speaker 1: you like you're two days, like when you're when you're 1573 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 1: getting ready to go to camp, like when it's like 1574 01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: you're in the thick of it, what are your days? Like, Uh, 1575 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 1: a tough day is I'll what time are what time 1576 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: are we waiting? A tough day is I'll wake up, Um, 1577 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 1: I'll do what they call road work, So I'll run 1578 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,560 Speaker 1: like three miles in the morning, so I'll jell Like 1579 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,000 Speaker 1: three months is a good pace, so I try to 1580 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 1: get it in like less than thirty or less than 1581 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 1: twenty five. Three is my goal ship Okay, my goals 1582 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 1: are like my goal is less than like forty five. 1583 01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:31,120 Speaker 1: That's I was talking. Because you're you're going for like 1584 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 1: the short spurts. I'm doing a different things. So you're 1585 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 1: like twenty two minutes for three miles, so you're moving. Yeah, 1586 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: that's like not a that's the goal. So it's like 1587 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,360 Speaker 1: you you you go anywhere from twenty eight. You fluctuate 1588 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,320 Speaker 1: on the day, and it's on a it's on a 1589 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:45,760 Speaker 1: it's on a bank, so it's on a ditch, so 1590 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 1: it's a real rocky terrain. So it builds little muscles. Okay, 1591 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,320 Speaker 1: So that's first. You do that in the morning, and 1592 01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 1: then that that takes a lot out of you when 1593 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: you do it. That's a fault. So that's considered the workout, Okay, sure. Uh. 1594 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 1: And then after I mean you do all your stretches 1595 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 1: and your warms and stretching in the warm up warm 1596 01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: up when your athlete is uh, it's about a thirty 1597 01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,920 Speaker 1: minute warm up before, yes, and so we do that 1598 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,400 Speaker 1: and then afternoon session we'll do lifting. Um We'll do 1599 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,800 Speaker 1: various depending on what day it is. We'll do four 1600 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 1: times a week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. When Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 1601 01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,920 Speaker 1: we'll do lifting, just just strengthen all the muscles. Uh. 1602 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 1: Then uh, the afternoon we'll do track work. And track 1603 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,240 Speaker 1: work could do and he has an an extremely extensive, 1604 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 1: intricate program. But so for example, we'll do six two 1605 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: hundreds and that sounds really easy. Hey, don't sound easy 1606 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 1: to me? Get to the second one year old jew 1607 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:48,799 Speaker 1: from New York. It's for six d that's a sprint. 1608 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 1: It's a sprint, and you try to get those under 1609 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 1: the thirty seconds. Ship. Yeah, and that's what we're doing. 1610 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 1: That's why, that's why when I laugh when I hear 1611 01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,720 Speaker 1: people like, uh, on the end of the you know 1612 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:02,559 Speaker 1: what you should one time when you get back on Twitter, 1613 01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 1: let me answer for you, because this is I'm great 1614 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,680 Speaker 1: at talking. Ship. I talked right back to him. I 1615 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 1: remember one dude, he said, uh, because you know, I 1616 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 1: go through injuries and it was like you made a 1617 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 1: glass and he was a little heavier, saidude that we 1618 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 1: made a jello. I go back and forth and all 1619 01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 1: the time. Man, it's no because it's it's it's it's 1620 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,439 Speaker 1: it's serious. I don't take it seriously either, Like I 1621 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:27,080 Speaker 1: mean some of the ship back to the cam stuff 1622 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,640 Speaker 1: and the race stuff. I thought it was disgusting, and 1623 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,559 Speaker 1: you know, it's like America revealed. It's ugly. First of all, 1624 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 1: they act like this was the first black quarterback ever 1625 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 1: to play quarterback. Now you know what you know? And 1626 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: I would say this, I was a little, I want 1627 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 1: to say, disappointed, but like I wanted to see Camp 1628 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,640 Speaker 1: stand behind a statement because what he said, feel like 1629 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,200 Speaker 1: his PR team got behind him and say kind of 1630 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 1: retract that. But what he said was what is the 1631 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: reality of the situation. The situation is we've never had 1632 01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:58,560 Speaker 1: a black quarterback act like he was black before, so 1633 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,160 Speaker 1: so it was a phrase up being black exactly. So 1634 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 1: there's a certain there's a certain um charisma that young 1635 01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,000 Speaker 1: black kids have grown up in the inner city, Like 1636 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,680 Speaker 1: there's a certain that's that's what that's what we walk with. 1637 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 1: And so when you're when you're trying to be politically correct, 1638 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,680 Speaker 1: you have to enunciate, you have to you have to 1639 01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: be polite, you have to speak in this kind of dialect, 1640 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,960 Speaker 1: and then you're considered a good citizen because if you don't, 1641 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 1: he's ghetto, he's this, he's that, and Cam is the 1642 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:33,000 Speaker 1: first quarterback that's really I say, aside from from my yeah, 1643 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 1: he does his thing and he doesn't care. And so 1644 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 1: like that's an issue. People don't want to see that 1645 01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:38,840 Speaker 1: in an issue. But it's an issue because a lot 1646 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 1: of the things. If if Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck 1647 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 1: did some of the things that Cam did, it wouldn't 1648 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: be an issue, right, But it's an issue because he's black. 1649 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,599 Speaker 1: I wish he would have stuck by that because he's say, 1650 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 1: he's saying what he feels, and he's saying what was 1651 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,960 Speaker 1: he feels that nobody else feels that because he has 1652 01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: to walk around under this veil of being politically correct 1653 01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: all the time. And it's bullshit. It is bullshit. And 1654 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 1: I always say, like athletes are it's the weirdest dichotomy ever. 1655 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:05,439 Speaker 1: So if you look at athletes and if you look 1656 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 1: at entertainers, right, so, like, uh, if an athlete gets arrested, 1657 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 1: it's like I cannot believe it. What is he thinking? 1658 01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,560 Speaker 1: What a piece of ship? YadA YadA, he's blowing it 1659 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 1: yeada YadA. If an entertainer gets arrested, it's almost like 1660 01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 1: good for business if it's not too if you didn't 1661 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:24,040 Speaker 1: take it too if he's as long as you don't 1662 01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,639 Speaker 1: kill anybody, right, it's almost especially if you're like a musician. 1663 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's really credibility. It's credible if if you're 1664 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 1: a rapper, number one, but even if you're a rocker, yeah, 1665 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:35,880 Speaker 1: it's good. It's good like you then you're known as 1666 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 1: a badass, you know. Obviously Kurt Cobaine, it took too far. 1667 01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: But like that whole run, I mean, it just build 1668 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,720 Speaker 1: not I'm definitely not condoning going to jail. No, I 1669 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,120 Speaker 1: trust me. It's the worst place I've been there one time. 1670 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 1: I never want to go back. But I did that 1671 01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,000 Speaker 1: did two and a half years. But Harry and I 1672 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 1: did like nothing I did on my hand, on my 1673 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 1: fucking hand, nothing nothing.
