WEBVTT - My Favorite NFL Player Turned Chef - Derrell Smith 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:07.080 You find Thanksgiving stressful? No, okay, what is a go ahead? 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.400 Don't take this offensively. Take I'm gonna take it as 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:11.160 ask me about white people Thanksgiving? 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:16.840 What is that like? Cosh? 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.200 If there's product in my hair, it must be Tuesday 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:33.199 Toss show time, Eddie. You guess what what? Thanksgiving? Right 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:39.640 around the corner? Hit me with the gobble gobble. You 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:48.920 went authentic? That turkey sounds good? You excited for this Thanksgiving? 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:49.760 I am excited. 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:50.520 I love Thanksgiving. 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.680 We're sharing it together. We are Oh, our families are 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:54.360 going to be together. 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.640 Yeah, be thankful. We will watch a lot of football. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.760 We're gonna watch all nothing but football. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.160 Let's go to Bears Lions now. Detroit has been playing 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.200 on Thanksgiving Day since are you ready for this? Nineteen 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.600 thirty four. There were only two teams back then. Wow, 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.399 I don't know who the other team was, but Detroit 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.800 was losing on Thanksgiving Day. That was the tradition for 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.240 ninety years. They've lost every single game by double digits. Well, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.080 this year is going to be different. They're going to 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.360 destroy the Bears. They are on their way to the 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.240 super Bowl. Now they won't get to the super Bowl 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.920 this year. They'll probably lose in the first or second round. No, 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.839 they won't lose in the first round because they'll probably 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:35.480 have a bye. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.759 But that's good. Yeah, they'll make it to Week two 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.920 of the playoffs and the. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.440 Town will be like, yeah, that's good enough, Motor City, 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:44.320 let's build a car. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.039 Okay. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.720 The next game is the Giants and Cowboys. These are 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.800 two bottom feeders in the NFC East. They have fallen. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.640 Cowboys are unwatchable at home, just unwatchable. And the Giants, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:02.240 well they got ridish Saquon Bar for Daniel Jones, who's 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:08.560 now a third stringer. Congratulations, general manager, way to really 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:15.560 eyeball talent. Now the final game the entree of thanksgiving, 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:21.280 the reason that we slaughtered the indigenous people, the Dolphins 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.040 versus the Packers. There it is here, it is give thanks, 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.520 and ye shall be thanked upon. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.800 Yeah I like getting thanked upon. Okay. 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.200 The Dolphins go up to Green Bay, probably the most 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:42.400 depressing city in America past October thirty. First in the 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.840 overhead shots try to paint it as a cute, quaint town, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.200 but it is fucking horrible. Thank goodness, it's at night, 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:54.200 so the Dolphin players won't be super depressed when they 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.760 see the nothingness that is the Green Bay area. Now 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.120 you know that team is owned by the fans, right, 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.400 and that's incredible. I just wish the fans would move 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.880 and then bring the team with them and we could 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.920 have the Monacito Packers. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:14.280 That would be fun. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.640 I wonder how many people have to move from the 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.000 city of Green Bay to bring the team with them. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.960 What if it's just four or five influential families. So 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.799 you know what, we're thinking of getting a timeshare down 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:35.360 in Baja. Could we move the Packers to San Jose 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:41.400 del Cabo. That would be delightful, right, No players are 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:46.080 going to complain about doing some sweet deep sea fishing, 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.520 you know, and then getting to play a football game 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.320 against the Packers down there in San Jose del Cabo. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.640 The point is I need to get the green Bay 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.320 Packers out of Green Bay. For a while there they 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.480 were like, you know, two games a year Miaukee. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.280 That was always silly. Where would I want the Green 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.280 Bay Packers to move? I mean, does it have to 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:08.000 be near a bay? 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.960 Yeah, it probably doesn't need to be near bay. It's 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.479 not going to Oakland, Maine, Maine. That's a good idea. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.040 Bring them over to Bar Harbor. Yeah, there you go, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.880 the Bar Harbor Packers. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.279 That sounds great. Bring them to Maine. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.239 Maine is so much more fun to visit than Green Bay. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:32.080 Now Appleton, Wisconsin, don't get me started. Love it, Oshkosh, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:37.120 love it, Madison, Heaven on Earth, Milwaukee, I'll be honest 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:42.880 with you. I enjoy it. But green Bay, oh depressing. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.000 Here's the thing. When you're in Green Bay and you're like, Wow, 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.600 this couldn't get any worse, realize there's a whole country 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:52.080 above you. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:54.200 By the way. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.840 Thanksgiving it's probably, you know, one of the worst holidays. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:04.880 But the food. What's your favorite piece of food that day, Eddie? 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.080 I think I like stuffing. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:07.080 The stuffing. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.159 Ah, I'm in your wheelhouse. Mine is the rolls. Oh yeah, 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.960 I just like the rule. If the roles aren't good, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.799 I'm furious at the meal and they need to be plentiful. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.119 I need at least four roles to get me through 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.840 a fucking horrible Thanksgiving meal. And you know where we're 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.400 gonna be, Eddie. We're going to be in the beautiful 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.239 state of Hawaii. We're gonna be in Maui. The roles 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.479 that I want, I want the local roles. I want 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:38.520 the kings Hawaiian. Yep, so soft those kings Hawaiian. If 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.880 you get the round loaf, that'll make you the best 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.040 French toast you've ever had. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.160 By the way, if you're gonna do the wishbone, you 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.880 break the wishbone, I do by yourself. Yep, just so 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.039 win either way. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.160 Good point now me, I got a little strategy with wishbone. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.440 You gotta grab up real high. You know, you see 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.520 the other person pinching the bottom of it, and it's 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.599 like a sucker. Another thing I'm gonna say about Thanksgiving, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.800 sweet potato cast role. If you put marshmallows on it, 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.119 you know, you might as well sit at the children's table, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.559 because that's fucking clown food. 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.479 Nobody wants that. All right, let's get into the show. 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:26.880 Today's guest knows everything about football and Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy Pasha, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.040 my guest today is one of those guys who's annoyingly 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.800 good at everything he tries. His resume includes NFL player, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.760 executive producer, cooking show host, and founder of his own company. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:45.560 Please welcome, Chef Drell aka Uncle Rel aka Relly Crocker. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.280 I love that intro. I'm gonna steal that. How are 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.080 you well? I'm good. How about yourself? I'm well? Thank you? 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.040 How many people call you Relly Crocker? A couple? They 0:06:55.080 --> 0:07:01.360 only know me from Instagram? Not many? Question Darrell, Okay, 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.719 do you believe in ghosts? Yes? 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.920 You ever seen a ghost? I felt ghost? I haven't 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:07.719 seen him before. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.240 Have you always believed in ghost or did something happen 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:11.400 you're like now? I believe. 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.160 I think gradually over time you hear the rumors as 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.400 a child, but then as you grow older, you start 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:17.880 to feeling me. 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.800 You know, we're not alone, can't be I believe we're alone. Yeah, 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.440 you're originally from Philly? Yes you were jumped yep. So 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.560 I much like the Fresh Prince. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:30.600 Just like the Fresh Prince. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.800 I actually grew up in Overbrook, where he's from as well. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.800 And I went to a school called Lamberton. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:41.239 And one day at lunch we had this big mound 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.120 of snow and we had a snowball fight and I 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.960 hit this kid in the face with a snowball and 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.160 he was a part of this gang. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.200 Our school was K through twelve, so he k through 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.800 twelve is a horrible idea. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.720 Absolutely, I agree with that, and this kid he was 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.440 part of this gang, hit him in the face. Couple 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.400 weeks later, he's like, man, we're fighting, all right, I 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.280 bet so. We uh. We went to this place called 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.080 the News Book, which was across the street from the 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.760 library near Lamberton, and he was there with all his 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.640 gang and everybody's in a circle, and me and him 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.040 one on one, and I whooped his ass and then 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.400 nobody jumped in. Nobody jumped in for a couple of minutes, okay, 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.160 and then they felt bad for him, I guess, and 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.160 they came out of everywhere. First somebody hit me in 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.000 the back of the head, and somebody came from this way. 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.520 Somebody came from this way, and they stole my book 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.040 bag with Pokemon cards in it. How many pokemons look 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.560 like a binder of Pokemon cards. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:33.240 I just looked. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.320 Went to get some Pokemon cards from my kid the 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.559 other day, literally, and they're like, oh, we don't sell 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.439 small packs. We just have this big pack and it's 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.440 eighty dollars. So I go, I said, no, thank you, 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.960 I'm not spending eighty dollars my kid. It's crazy. What 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.319 grade were you in during this jump? The seventh grade man, 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.120 and what grade was he? We were all in seventh grade. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.360 Oh, he was in seventh grade too, so the the 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.280 bigger gang was in eleventh grade. So the young gang 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.280 was seventh grade. We were all seventh graders. The big 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:03.960 gang was was eleventh grade. I remember my sister was 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.400 trying to jump in the fight. She had to be 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.920 around like six seven at that time, and my friends 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.559 are holding back my young sister. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.160 Long story short, my parents sued. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.240 So if we got money, I love those Pokemon cards, 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.560 hopefully at least eighty dollars for the for the Pokemon 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:19.360 cards I had. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:20.920 Fighting has never been my thing. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.080 I've always been like if in school as a child, 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.760 there was like there was a kid that would I 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.120 could tell he wanted to fight and would instigate with me, 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.120 and you always hear of like kind of tougher parents 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.199 and oh, don't back down. I had parents are like, yeah, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.760 you can back down, just don't who cares if you 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.640 don't want to do it, just like you do, don't 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.720 want to get in trouble, just walk away, it's okay. Yeah, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.599 and I did. I always was like, hey, I'm not 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.839 gonna fight. That's admirable. Well it might be I felt 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.040 like a pussy quite a bit. But you know, there's 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:56.040 there's worse things than worked out. And then they moved you. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.600 To Delaware, Delaware. What was life like in Delaware when 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.720 you first move that were like, oh, this is different. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.240 Delaware is different. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.760 It's interesting because in Philadelphia it's very segregated. So you 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.760 got black community, got white community, got rich folks, non 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.880 rich folks, whereas in Delaware, everybody's forced to be together, 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.480 and it's beautiful, like it's a it's a cool place. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.880 It's a lot of farmland, no taxes, so everything's cheap. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.480 Gas is super cheap. I know nothing about Delaware really, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.679 although I did date one girl from Delaware. She's Oh 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.719 my goodness, now that I think about her. Is she 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:27.240 a farmer? 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:27.840 No? 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.319 And she's from Delaware, but she has sisteric fibrosis. Oh okay, 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.840 that was bad. Okay, I got you anyway. I met 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.960 in Philly. Anyway, all right, you were a star athlete 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.400 in high school? Oh yeah, When did that start? When 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.120 did you feel. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.400 Like, oh, I'm different, I'm better than the rest of 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:44.439 these kids that I'm playing with. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.280 At birth, so my biological father played football at Cheney. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:50.320 I remember as a kid. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.079 We would play catch and every time I dropped the ball, 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.719 he make me do five push ups. And around seven 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.320 years old, my stepfather came into my life and he 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.040 put me in organized football. And once I got in 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.400 organized football, I wasn't scared to get hit. When you 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.160 play football. Once you get hit that that first time, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.400 either you say I like this or I don't like this, 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.760 and I liked it, and so after that you just 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.599 keep getting better and better. And by the time I 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.559 got to high school, I was salivating at the mouth. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.800 You're running back all through high school. Only in high school. 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.800 Actually, growing up, I was a center, and once I 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.800 got to high school never carried the ball in my life. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.880 My coach was like, man, we were gonna turn you 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.600 into a running back. And by my senior year, I 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.440 was the number one rank player in the state. I 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.240 was Gatoray Player of the Year, got a full scholarship 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:32.880 to Syracuse. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.440 And that was Delaware, right, Delaware. It ain't Florida. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.520 But if I would have been in Florida, I would 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.200 I would have got Gtoray Player of the Year too. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:45.000 All right, did you play you played sports? No? No, 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:47.680 I could see he was a kicker or even a 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:48.440 wide receiver. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.880 No, I think a wide receiver that would have been 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.600 nicer to lead with that. No, extremely athletic, but didn't 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:55.360 play football. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:00.480 And you're tall too. Punters are tall. Fuck hunters, dog 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.640 don't care? Oh, fair enough? 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.120 Football is not my thing. Love it, love watching it, 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.680 no desire to play it. You know what killed me 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.719 with team sports? I always liked the individual sports. I 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:17.960 hated listening to coaches give me the raw raw thing. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.600 I'm like, hey, I get it, we need to have 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:21.800 more points at the end of the game. 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.040 Is that the objective? Coach? Got it? 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:29.120 So I never enjoyed losing because of knuckleheads. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.199 Fair enough, Oh, I hated it. Were you a swimmer man? 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.840 I did surfing okay, Okay, I competed there a little 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.079 bit for a while. I liked, you know all those things. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.000 I like tennis. Yeah, No, granted, I live for watching football. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:41.960 Who's your team? 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.360 The Dolphins? Okay? You think two? I should have walked? 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.880 Hell yeah, that's not something to play with too young. 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.600 I'm thirty six. I'm pretty sure once I get to 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.960 like forty five, my body or hurt even more. And 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.760 I didn't even play longer in the NFL right when 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.600 at adrenaline is flowing and you fill in vincible. When 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.960 you're young, it's all fine and dandy. But when the 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.200 ogs tell you how they feel. You see people who 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.920 retire from the NFL walking with canes or impression sleeves 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.960 on their knees or wonky and like gott. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.719 To make their food blended. Its different. That's a different experience, man, 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.400 You gotta listen. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.720 Syracuse is it considered prestigious amongst safety schools? 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.960 Amongst safety schools? What does that mean? It's throwing shade. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.240 I would say, now that I live in LA, I 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.079 would say Syracuse is the USC of the East, like 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.840 a private school in the middle of the ghetto. But 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.840 the only difference is our students don't stay in Syracuse, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.320 whereas USC students probably stay in LA. 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.680 Our students just go back to New York City. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:51.560 But in terms of prestigiousness, Syracuse is our network is ridiculous. 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.320 Now did you know Pete Relia You were a freshman 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.880 at Syracuse when he was a senior he works on 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.800 this show. No really, no, I didn't know him. Oh man, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.080 he was a big man on campus. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.040 So I love that. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.360 By the way, what was it like being a star 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.280 athlete at a Division I school. Were you just swimming 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:10.760 in women? 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:16.440 Yeah? Did you cook a lot in your kitchen on 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:17.720 South Campus? Yes? 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.560 I would actually cook for my teammates. I remember one 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.400 time we cooked for some lady friends that came over. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.160 I never fried chicken. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.360 It's a mess. It's a mess. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.720 But if you put the heat too high, it'll give 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.320 the illusion that it's done. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.880 When it's not. Oh no, So this kick this chicken 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:37.360 I fried. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.360 It came out perfect golden brown, and when they went 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:42.400 to bite into. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:48.240 It, everybody got salmonilla. Possibly. Do you ever ship yourself 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:48.840 as an adult? 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:49.360 Uh? 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.520 As an adult, I've never shipped myself. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.040 But I remember when I was in school one time 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.320 I went to wipe and a little gut on my finger, 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.400 and uh, and it got on my shirt and I 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:00.560 had to go back to class. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.560 Oh man, and I had to like take on my 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.880 shirt and like wash it, put it under the dry. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:06.920 It's no good. That's no good at all. I mean, 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.080 how old was this. I was probably about like twenty one, 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:10.760 twenty two. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.240 Oh oh geez, okay, all right, it's embarrassing. You made 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.160 it to the NFL. By the way, your first year 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.480 you didn't get drafted, but you made it to a 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:19.720 team and you were the Bucks. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.480 Yep, practice squad. What's the practice squad make? Not much? 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.560 They make probably make like nine thousand every two weeks 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:28.000 back then. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.120 Is actually a good money. It's great money, but it's 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.360 not life changing. You never have to work again. Money 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.480 obviously nine thousand for two is that just during the season. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.880 During the season. You don't get paid in the off season. Okay. 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.120 But I went to school in off season, so I 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.560 was I was okay, and then I went back to Syracuse, 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.520 finished up my masters during the off seasons, and then 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.440 I would just fly back to By my second year, 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.640 I was with Houston, So I flew back to Houston, 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.760 played on the team, and then off season would just 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.680 go back to school finish up. What was your playing 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.120 weight with the Bucks. I was in a four to three, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.920 so I was about two thirty. The linebackers are super 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.400 small there. And wait and your way today two forty 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:13.280 less muscle. You want to not have that cane at fifty. Well, 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.160 I ride a bike now, so I ride a bike 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.240 a lot. I had two knee surgeries in college. 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:18.560 Uh. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.360 The way I ended my career is in practice, I 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.600 uh compressed one of my vertebrates. Put my neck down 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.480 when I hit somebody and uh compressed a vertebrae. So 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.560 that still is painful. But like this morning, I did 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:31.240 some yoga. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.720 If I could right now snap my fingers and get 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.280 you to the weight that you wanted to be, what 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.440 would it be this one? I look good, Well, you 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.480 look good, but to forty is still a lot of 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.280 weight to carry around. Yeah, on the knees, especially new knees. 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.200 I'm big bone, So that's not a thing. If you 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.200 see my lady, her bones are like this big, like her. 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:51.600 Arms like you can look at her. 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.000 I just showed you your skeleton. I'm gonna let you 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.360 know it's not different. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.240 Is it the same? Yes, it's the same. I don't 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.200 believe that I would have to see what I have 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:00.720 to see this. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:06.240 I feel my bone. That's a boone. That's a big 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.080 ass arm. But that bone is in there. I know 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.040 it's big. You're telling me you're bone the same size 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:11.679 as my bones? 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.440 Probably, really, am I wrong? I'm looking at science. It's 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.280 not it's not that different. I'm seeing. Big bone is 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.040 a thing. Big bone is a thing, says, it's not 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.640 a medical term, but it's it's just a thing. People 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:26.320 have bigger bones. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.000 Some people have big okay, but is it like drastically bigger. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.840 But you see my lady in me, my bones are 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:33.359 much bigger. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.040 Okay, Well that's male female. Maybe it's I'm maybe male 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:41.000 to man. Maybe how brutal is the NFL? Describe what 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:45.400 it feels like when you're just going against another top athlete, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:46.480 just collisions. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:47.560 What does that feel like? 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.920 NFL is brutal, but everybody there is prepared for that. 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.840 The NFL is the best professionals in the world, and 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.200 so a hit, it's a hit, but it's a perfect 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.040 form hit, and everybody practice is perfect form. They practice 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.360 coming in, being in the right position, and so it's 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.040 not necessarily painful. Yes, yes it is painful because it 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.200 just by nature, a hit is painful. But as a professional, 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.960 you know how to do it right the right way. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.639 You know how to take a hit the right way, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.360 and it's not as bad as it sometimes looks or seems. 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.560 It's just the fact that everybody is so good and 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.439 so big. The injuries happen like those things will just 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:31.640 happen because that's the nature. 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:31.800 Of the game. 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.320 But most of the time you practice the right form, 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.280 right things, so it's not as bad. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:37.679 As it seems. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.679 That seems scary, man, it seems fast, very fast. 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.080 Are you still quick? Oh yeah, I'm an athlete at heart. 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.080 I feel like you feel like if you get out 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.960 there right now, you feel like you would be good 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:50.440 for a game. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.520 I don't know, no, no, not even one play because 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.400 those are those are elite athletes. I'm not an alst athlete, 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.440 but I'll say this, if you and me were to race, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.159 there is the athlete in me would make sure that 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.200 unless you super fast, and. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:09.960 I'm pretty quick, you are. Yeah. Yeah. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.760 I raised the fastest uh uh Paralympia and with no legs. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.200 I smoked him nice. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.639 But I raised him with his blades in the sand, 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.680 so he didn't stand it. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.560 He thought he could we That's that's a strategy, man. Listen. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.480 I didn't pick. I did pick the place. 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.399 My mother, her whole life, she's always told me she's like, 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.600 I could be a running back. She's like, I just 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.600 have the ability to get out of the way to 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.680 this this. This woman's like eighty years old, and she's 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:41.640 like I could. I can still, I know I could 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:42.680 do it. I'll tell you this. 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:47.080
