19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: But we start off for every show, what's up with

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: that dude? Well, yesterday I went on a mission, a

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: covert mission to my aces house, my best friend. Jabari

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: Magnus feel so young when I say someone's my best

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: friend and I'm almost fifty. I'm like, yeah, you're my

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: best friend, but my wife's really my best friend. But

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: MJ's my favorite thing in this world. In Morocco, I

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: got a list of things I love. Right, Tacos would

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: catch up, like, oh, y'all in the same boat. Damnit,

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. So I go over there and I

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: was on a mission to hear what his son wanted

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: to do next year in terms of plans. Right, son's

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: a basketball player, very good basketball player, who's right there

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: on that line. Ninth grader going to the tenth of

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: JV and varsity. So he's starting to make choices based

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: on athletics.

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: Now.

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: His dad valedictorian genius, went to Cornell, got a master's

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: from Cornell. Just a big smart dude, right, and it's

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: getting a little out of balance. But more than that,

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: he lives in the Bay Area his mom, and then

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: he's also down here in LA with his dad. So

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: I just was there to kind of smell the roses

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and decode maybe some of the talk that was coming

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: from a fourteen year old. So as I reminded him

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: of my story as he was watching his YouTube and

45
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: watching his iPad. Kids talk to you now like this,

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: like if you don't check them, they talk to you

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, everything good, man, I'm loving life. Oh man,

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: it's been good, you know, just working on my dribbling,

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: my guard skills.

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: I was like, dog, if you don't look at me,

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: I had to break it down.

52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: So reminded him that his uncle balanced his act out right,

53
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: football and books, and I didn't put football first, even

54
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: though I'm getting poked up over thinking about it. But

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: the point is you got to keep that balance in

56
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: act and make sure things are in place. So that

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: was a good covert mission. Other than that, my mother

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: in law's not feeling so great right now, so my

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: wife's gonna head up there to check on the mother

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: in law. So you guys just keep her in your

61
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: thoughts and your prayers. She's not feeling her best. I

62
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: am not the one to tell her business as well,

63
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: because some people love for everyone to know that they're going.

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Through something, so therefore support me.

65
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: And some people are like, nah, treat me like normal,

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: treat me like everything is fine.

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: So I gotta respect her privacy.

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: But that said, I am telling y'all think about mama

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: in law because it's affecting the family. All right, Let's

70
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: talk about the college football family and how it's being

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: affected right now because the Players Association is organizing a

72
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: boycott of the twenty twenty four.

73
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: EA Sports video game.

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Oh man, well, first of all, put some respect on

75
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: what y'all about to do.

76
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: This ain't no boycott. This is a man cot, damn it.

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: It's time to start mancott now here right because the

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: NCAA's installing this interim nil policy in twenty twenty one,

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: we know, which was viewed by many as a victory

80
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: for the first time in college sports history. Athletes were

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: turning the profit yay. And then last month THEA Sports

82
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: they announced that players will be paid for the nil

83
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: to be used in the college Football Game, which is

84
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: coming back next year. All right, So then contracted one

85
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: team partners to facilitate college athletes likenesses, and a source

86
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: told the cash pool for the athletes was in the

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: five million dollar range, which could pay out five hundred

88
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: dollars per player, and sportco also as a reporter, there

89
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: are no royalties. Okay, y'all remember when the story first hit,

90
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: and I told you about it. I said, this sounds

91
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: amazing on layer one, but right beneath it, thinly veiled,

92
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: was layer two where this.

93
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: Wasn't gonna work. Just simple mathematics.

94
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: What are there one hundred and twenty plus FBS schools

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: out there?

96
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: Now? What do they all hold? One hundred players?

97
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: So you're sitting there like dog, where the hell they

98
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna pay all these dues?

99
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: That's twelve thousand cats? Like and dde, what you're gonna say?

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna pay what Caleb Williams way more than you're

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna pay somebody else the backup guard in college sports

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: when it's going through EA sports. This is not just

103
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: exclusive nil. I was like, trust me, the devil's in

104
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: the details. This is not gonna work out. And now

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: we are here. So the VP of College Football Players

106
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: Association said, this does not fly. Five hundred dollars for

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: every player. You kidd me, he said, quote all current

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: players should boycott this deal. It's an opt in deal

109
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: and they should not opt into it. It is just

110
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: a ridiculously low amount of money. It is food stamps,

111
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: it is welfare. That is that's almost insultant. Five hundred

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: dollars per play. So given the context and the hype

113
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: that surrounds this game, when we first heard the number,

114
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: we're like, all right, that sounds low. Let's go figure

115
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 1: it out if it is low. And they started talking

116
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: to guys, talk to some of my friends, some guys

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: who are still playing in the NFL. So, what are NFL

118
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: players getting paid for Madden? These are unquote y'all. And

119
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: the numbers we were given were from twenty nineteen. It

120
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: was disclosed that they got I think about seventeen thousand,

121
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: and then a current NFL player told us that he

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: got to check for twenty eight thousand this year for Madden. Okay, now,

123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: let me tell you what's going on here. This is

124
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: not a partnership. This is not something that even EA

125
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: Sports is putting in full respect to these college football

126
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: players want to know why in a true partnership you

127
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: disclose information. That's why it's a partnership. You open up

128
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: the books, you take me into the back room, you say, okay,

129
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: since we're partners on this, I may have more say,

130
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: but let me show you everything. Right, You don't sit

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: there and say we're going to keep this information here.

132
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: You disclose the information. Why, because you're not trying to

133
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: hide something from a partner because their win is your win.

134
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: Them winning is you winning?

135
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Right, So when they didn't do that, it told you

136
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: right now, this is more of an employer employee relationship

137
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: basically with a salary and a salary cap. The cap

138
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: is five million dollars. Y'all figure it out. So I

139
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: knew it was a problem right there. Now what else

140
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: comes from this is you can see that this is

141
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: not a great deal because every deal you have to

142
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: weigh the opportunity costs. Right, So to be in the game,

143
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: it would give me a reward five hundred dollars, all right,

144
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: always flip the opportunity costs. If I'm not in the game.

145
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: What happens, Well, that's when you realize you have no leverage.

146
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Because if you're a college football player and you say

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm not in the game, I opt out.

148
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: Guess what they.

149
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Say, Well, we're still producing the game, but now it's

150
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: going to be with your avatar, whatever that may be. Right,

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: So this train keeps rolling with or without you. Does

152
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: that feel like leverage?

153
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Hell Na?

154
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: It's a sad state of affairs that the players have

155
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: fought for all this, and then with a huge announcement

156
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: like this, you think that you really have a partnership,

157
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: and it turns out opt in if you want, opt

158
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: out if you want whatever. Here's five hundred dollars really

159
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: not any sweat off of our back. But more importantly,

160
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: we are not who you thought we were. We are

161
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: not partners in this situation.

162
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Crazy. They're gonna make all that money off of them.

163
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: They sold one and a half million copies of this

164
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen.

165
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: That was the last time it hit the shelves.

166
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: And now we got Twitch and all these gamers out

167
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: here and all this online gaming like it's a bigger deal,

168
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: and these players are still getting the smaller of that

169
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: bigger deal.

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: Not good enough.

171
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: If I want those players, I would be out there

172
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: with y'all too. I ain't boycott, no less man cott together.

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: know how to play Tetris with and the legos. Then

184
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: just start building stuff and then next thing you know,

185
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: you can have the Migos going with Michael Jackson Doom

186
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Doom Dooba and you'd be like, damn Michael Jackson. That's

187
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: why I love Djay and I am the ultimate producer.

188
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: I can make anything go with anything. That's why I

189
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: love it.

190
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: Look forward to y'all winning that on Friday. Swag away.

191
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about what Chris Paul got going.

192
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: On in Phoenix. What is he gonna win in Phoenix?

193
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: Because there's a rumor that he will be waved. Phoenix

194
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Suns ownership and executives had a series of conversations with

195
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Chris Paul and his reps on the All Star point

196
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: Guard's future with the franchise, including the possibility that he

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: could be waves by the NBA's June twenty eighth guaranteed

198
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: date on his contract. So the Suns insist that they're

199
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: still working through several possibilities for Chris's future and reiterated

200
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: that his to his representatives at later they plan to

201
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: explore trade opportunities and they also will include potentially DeAndre

202
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Ayton in those conversations. Now they're basically stuck salary cap

203
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: purgatory as they say, Oh, we don't have a lot

204
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: of options around here. Now you gotta start ranking what's

205
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: most important. Devin Booker one, Kevin Durant one, A one

206
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: B or number two, whatever you want to say. Then

207
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: you look at Chris Paul, who you don't want to

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: get rid of, but you're like, well, Chris Paul is

209
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, Chris Paul is off injured when

210
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: you need him most. And Chris Paul's production has gone

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: down every year he's been with the Phoenix Suns. Now,

212
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the pushback on that one is, if i'm his rep dog,

213
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: we got Booker, I'm not the go to guy in scoring.

214
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: You got Ayton when he gives you full effort, or

215
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: y'all on the same page. He's a guy that we

216
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: got to pound down in the low and the paint.

217
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: And then it's me and then you add Kevin Durant.

218
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: So guess what, my production did go down? But at

219
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: the same time, it's for good. Let's just say that,

220
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: so you know when he got there sixteen four and nine,

221
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: and then last year has dropped all our way to

222
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: fourteen four and nine.

223
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: So it's like just.

224
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: Little, but you start to micro manage when you're trying

225
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: to get over the hump because all those little things matter.

226
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: To do it big, you have to do all the little.

227
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Things, which includes ranking your future Hall of Famer in

228
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: terms of point guards. So right now, only fifteen point

229
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: eight million of his thirty point eight million for the

230
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: season is guaranteed.

231
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: Interested kind of all this coming.

232
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: Think about that, when you signing a big deal, you're like, yeah,

233
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm good, and then they're like, oh yeah, Chris, look

234
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: at that fine print right there. Well it's kind of bold.

235
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: But whatever right above your signature that year twenty four,

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: twenty five non guaranteed, twenty three twenty four.

237
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: Half guaranteed.

238
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: You're fine with that though, Come mean, come on, you're

239
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. You're gonna do just keep playing well and

240
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna do amazing, So.

241
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: Go ahead, you know, just sign it. And that's what

242
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: happens a lot of time now.

243
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: Chris Chris Paul for President of the Players Association, sees

244
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: this with his eyes wide open and is betting on himself, obviously,

245
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: But at this point in your career, thirty eight years old,

246
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: you gotta also go where you have that security, where

247
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: you have those guarantees. So Chris Paul continues to want

248
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: to return to the Sons and partner with Devin Booker

249
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant, obviously, but you gotta explore those options.

250
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: And he just said to them summation, I hear y'all.

251
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: Y'all gotta do your business right. You gotta be prudent businessmen.

252
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: I get this. You gotta be responsible in here. Well,

253
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: let me be responsible to me myself, the corporation of

254
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: Chris Paul the basketball player. If you can make this

255
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: decision sooner than later, I will take that respectfully. Like

256
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: I basically want you to do me a favor. If

257
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna let me go, you don't have to wait

258
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: to June twenty eight, because, as you know, in free agency, man,

259
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: these teams not all the time will wait for you sometimes,

260
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: but a thirty eight year point guard, thirty eight year

261
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: old point guard who's been hurt when you need the most,

262
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: you might not even wait for Chris Paul. But if

263
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: he's available, obviously you're interested, so Chris Paul does not

264
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: want to come late to the free agent party. Makes

265
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: a total amount of sense. So all this said, are

266
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,479
Speaker 1: the Sons making a mistake even looking at this situation

267
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: like they are right? Are the Sons making a mistake

268
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: in terms of waiving Chris Paul?

269
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: Potentially?

270
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: Are the Sons even making a mistake by dangling this

271
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: in front of Chris Paul?

272
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: Right?

273
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: Think about how I can mess with chemistry, Think how

274
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: I can mess with the mindset. And Chris Paul is

275
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: strong minded, so we ain't really worried about it. But

276
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: it's a conversation. DeAndre Aiden got affected by it. Remember

277
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: when they were playing with his money? Then he almost

278
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: left and then he got his money. But then the

279
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: effort was a little up and down. Maybe that was

280
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: just Monte Williams conversation. Maybe it wasn't. Here's some good

281
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: questions I want to see in the comments. Which team

282
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: makes the most sense for him to join? And don't

283
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: be lazy, don't be simple. Don't just say the Lakers

284
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: because him and Lebron James best friends. Don't do that? Like, right,

285
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: you got Daniel Russell there playing point. We know he's

286
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: good enough, and you're not gonna disrupt it. For a

287
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: thirty eight year old to team up with another thirty

288
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: eight year old to do that whole dream team thing

289
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: again in two thousand and four, it ain't gonna work.

290
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: So let's just be smart about our response to that.

291
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: And well, Chris Paul ever get that championship. It's my conversation.

292
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: I just damn it's crazy. You can see guys who

293
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: are amazing all in top five ever as a point

294
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: guard conversation and no ring for you. Obviously that doesn't

295
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: help the legacy, it could damage it. And is he

296
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: a top five point guard all time? Let's get some

297
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: fun in these comments because he got magic Steph, you

298
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: got Isaiah for me, you got John Stockton, And then

299
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, I gotta throw one in for

300
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: my daddy.

301
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: You know I love him big old or something.

302
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, Oscar Robertson, all right, daddy, all right, y'all

303
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: ain't have YouTube, but damon, I've seen something.

304
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: He was in black and white dough.

305
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: Then you got Jay Kidd, Dame Dollar, Steve Nash. Where's

306
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Chris Paul ranked top five all four or you? I

307
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: want to know is he in your top five or

308
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: do you have him ranked somewhere outside of that? So

309
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: Chris Paul a lot of moves in front of him.

310
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: Let's see where they all go and where he lands.

311
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,680

Speaker 2: Of the year, great team.

336
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: And then you squint and you say, wait a minute,

337
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: that comment don't sound so positive. And then you're looking

338
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: at your phone up and then your boy's just blowing

339
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: you up, and you know what's about to happen. Okay, Well,

340
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: the entire world outside of his side chick, his side piece,

341
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: only fans, model Mariah Mills was happy. And then Mariah

342
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: and Zion apparently have had a relationship going for quite

343
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: some time.

344
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: Just doing my job reading the news.

345
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you my opinion later, because I do not

346
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: like being in people's business. But Devin, there's some lessons

347
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: to learn. They were serious enough to where he was

348
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: talking about moving her to New Orleans. I don't know

349
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: if he real or not. That's one thing about messages

350
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: and stuff. I can text a girl right now. Are

351
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: million dollars for you if you come through the night?

352
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: Is that? Am I being real.

353
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: Hey, o, no matter of fact, give you a million

354
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: dollars if you think that's real, Like, no way, right,

355
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: So sometimes we can read a lot into a text.

356
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time, he did write it, so

357
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: you got to know that's gonna be used against you

358
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: in evidence.

359
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: And she let him.

360
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say these words. The kids do get

361
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: inspired for my show, so I ain't going there mess

362
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: around with her so many ways and even eugh spitting

363
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: her mouth. Okay, I'm out, all right, all right. So

364
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: back on March twenty fifth, she posted a video showing

365
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: off her dancing skills and asked a very important question,

366
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: me or your girlfriend. Well, we seem to have the

367
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: answer to that question right there. And that's when I

368
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: would have ooh one. When I saw that video me

369
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: or my girlfriend?

370
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: I was like, what is this? Jay Z Beyonce Tupac, like, girl,

371
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: what you doing? You know?

372
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: I got a girlfriend, you know she pregnant and you

373
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: over there trying to send them subtle shots. But I

374
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: always tell y'all, the universe whispers before it yells. She

375
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: already March twenty fifth, Oh, if I'm Zion, I'm covert.

376
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: If I'm Zion, I'm bunkerd if I'm Zion with her,

377
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: I ain't spending in her.

378
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: Mouth no more.

379
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: I'm stupid, So I'm like a board mission her gone depleted, deleted.

380
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: Off my list. She is dead to me. But that's

381
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 2: just one head talking, as y'all know.

382
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: And there's another head in this conversation that got ahead

383
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: of itself.

384
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Boy, I'm playing with these words.

385
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: So where it gets really messy is that Mariah says

386
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: she motivated Zion to get back in shape, convinced him

387
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: he would be the next Lebron. So she feels invested

388
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: in this sucker. Now, oh oh, this is horrible. Then

389
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: there's a whole thread of tweets from the side chick

390
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: talking about how she loved him or liked them and

391
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: let him do stuff and now I helped you get back.

392
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: I don't know where she helped him get back to.

393
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: He ain't back yet, fully, but the point is she

394
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: feels invested.

395
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: She got her claws her fangs in you, Zion. Yuck.

396
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So let me help Zion out and everybody else

397
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: out in this situation, because boy, boy boy, there's some

398
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: lessons to learn.

399
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

400
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: He forty had a song long time ago called Captain

401
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: Save them is?

402
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: Where is that? It was the same.

403
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: I want to be safe now. You gotta listen to

404
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: that song before you listen to anything else. I say,

405
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: but I know you're not because you're gonna keep watching

406
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: this video and then listen to the song. Point being,

407
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful coming into anybody's life, and they

408
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: see the cape on you first, that means you are

409
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: here to rescue them from all their bad choices, from

410
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: their circumstances, for all the things that they didn't do right,

411
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: all the things they weren't committed to like you, Zion,

412
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: they weren't great at like you, Zion, And now all

413
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're gonna give them a helicopter ride

414
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: to the top because.

415
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: You are on top.

416
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: There's a problem when people go too far, too fast

417
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: in situations like this. You know why, because they didn't

418
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: earn it. So when they don't earn it, they don't

419
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: respect it. When they don't respect it, they'll burn that

420
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: thing down immediately because what do they care it ain't there,

421
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: So be careful. Listen to that song now. I remember

422
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: POC was saying one time, you might be deep in

423
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: the game, but got the rules missing. Y'all gotta listen.

424
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: To that again.

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: Deep in the game. You think you know everything. You

426
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: play a player. You got hundreds of millions of dollars.

427
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: You can't be.

428
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Told nothing right, But you got the rules missing. Here's

429
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: a rule right here. Whoever whatever woman out there raises

430
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: her hand to be a side piece, she's gonna lie, deceit,

431
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: play it off for your wife, your girl. And she

432
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: raised her hand for that, and I'm gonna do all

433
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: that because of your status and your money. She also

434
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna keep her hand up in the air when it's

435
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: time to backstock save you. You wanna know why because

436
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: she already told you I will be a liar and deceitful.

437
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: So that's the thing you gotta remember. If somebody is

438
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: willing to do all of this on the low low

439
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: over there, right, what are the chances that they gonna

440
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: stay low low and over there, or what are the

441
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: chances they gonna be who they really are? What the

442
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Chris Rock say that tiger didn't go crazy, That tiger

443
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: went tiger trying to mess with the tiger and get

444
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: mad at the tiger. The tiger like, no, I'm a tiger.

445
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: I never was cool you the fool for believing that

446
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: I was right. So in situations like this, just know

447
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: the way you got her, the way you're gonna have

448
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: to get her, man, And she got.

449
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: You cause she already told you. I like the lie,

450
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: I like the deceit.

451
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: So all y'all balls out there, man, y'all better mess

452
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: with your third grade girlfriends. If not, don't be trying

Speaker 1: do better, get better, and good luck, man, it's gonna

456
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: be a lot of sleepless nights going forward. You know

457
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: how we end every show, We ended with a whileism.

458
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: I remember writing this one down one day and I

459
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: started laughing at myself. Football is a hell of a

460
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: way to make a living, and they hell of a

461
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: way to make a.

462
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: Living like people.

463
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: People used to come up to me, We're like, you're

Speaker 1: in the NFL. My god, I was like, you need

Speaker 1: to take that look out your eye. This shit hurts, like, oh,

00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: every day I was hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling every day.

467
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: We struggling every day. It hurts when I had to

468
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: play man against these big ass men.

469
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: Every day. How do I describe football? I describe it

470
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: like this.

471
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: Every single day I try to get into the club

472
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: and they had six bouncers, all bigger than me, just no, no, no,

473
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: and pushing me and hitting me and tackling me. I

474
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: was like, I left my id in there, let me in,

475
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: so I gotta go in there. My credit cards over there.

476
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: I need to close out my tab. No, no, no

477
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. I was like, dog,

478
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: I have been sentenced to hell. And it still was

479
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: a hell of a way to make a living, like

480
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: a dream come true. But at the same time, like,

481
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: what the hell did you do to your body and

482
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: to your mind to think that was a smart way

483
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: to play? And I really didn't learn that until I retire.

484
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: And people like normal people laming when you're hanging out

485
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: in the real world and you're like, yo, you mean

486
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: I even have to get punched in a face on

487
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: a Wednesday and still made five dollars And they're like, yeah,

488
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: you didn't have to, but you did. And it's such

489
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: a great thing to do, and everyone revers you. But

490
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: it came at a cost. Remember that opportunity cost. We

491
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the show. So football was just painful, man,

492
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Even when you didn't get quote unquote hurt, like someone

493
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: who never gets injured, they're still hurt. Look at their fingers,

494
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: look at the scratches, look at the bruises, look at

495
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: the blood, look at.

496
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: The sprains, look at the strains.

497
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: And that doesn't even register on the threshold of injury.

498
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: And the question is, wasn't worth it?

499
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: Hell yes, hell of a way to make a living,

500
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: hell of a way to make a living, But hell yes,

501
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: it was worth it. And football gave me much more

502
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: than I gave it. Like I'm watching my son right now,

503
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: and you know our crings, you know. And even in

504
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: the championship game, he got hurt. He dove got kicked

505
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: in the eye, kicked in the head and landed on

506
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: the ground literally one of the loudest screams he's ever had.

507
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: And in that moment, I walk up to him and

508
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: I do my quick assessment, and look, it's not a

509
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: fool proof, but when it's your child and you've been

510
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: hurt a lot, you kind of know the difference between

511
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: an injury and someone who is actually just hurt.

512
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 2: Right, So injury, hey, you can't do it.

513
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: But if you just hurt, we're gonna get over this

514
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: pretty fast, faster than you expect. So I start working

515
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: with him. I start saying, you're gonna be okay on

516
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: this one. Always give him something physical that they can

517
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: see to start believing me. Okay, let me check you.

518
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh oh this is moving. Oh no, blood, you're good,

519
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: You're good. And the kids start lighting up like they

520
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: still go but they're starting to look into your eyes like, oh,

521
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: maybe you know what he's doing.

522
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: I said, now, let's stop huffing and puffing. Let's start breathing.

523
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: Let's tell our body from the inside we want to

524
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: heal right now, right now, and the only way to

525
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: tell it is through breath.

526
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: And tell it to them slowly, deep breaths. You say

527
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: it slowly, heal me, heal me.

528
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: And literally I watched the kids just start calming down

529
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: my son. That gave us the injury time out. Now

530
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: my son was beasting, so I didn't want him out.

531
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: It's happened too many times. When he leaves the game,

532
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: the game changes real talk. So I was like, don't

533
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: go out. You're okay, You're just hurt right now, You're

534
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. You start calming down, breathing, and then relax.

535
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: You can see them, see them. And then I said, energies,

536
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: this is the thing you gotta get these kids, meet

537
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: them where they are.

538
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: Energies. Whatever just happened, bad, good, ugly, don't matter. Shake

539
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 2: it off. We ready for what's next. You ready?

540
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: He starts shaking it off. He ready, though I can

541
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: see it. He's doing it. Then finally I said, let's

542
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: play ball, and he looking at me like I'm still

543
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: a little scared.

544
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: And then you do what all parents gotta do. You

545
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: bribe them.

546
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: I said, all right, I give you some baby blades

547
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: if you finish playing and let me stop. You gotta

548
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: do it. You gotta get the kids in. Gotta say kids,

549
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: I meet you where you are. He was like, oh,

550
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: let's ball out. And then the next play literally he

551
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: pulled the flag. Unreal process. So yeah, I love football

552
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: that much. Football is a hell of a way to

553
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,280
