1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Welcome back to More to It, the show that takes 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: a deep dive into the biggest stories in sports, entertainment, 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: and culture. Start with headline news and then journey into 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: deeper conversations, always finding those life lessons that are presented 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: in every single story. I'm your host, Marcelos wanted dad, dude. 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: Love you guys out there, man, I'm reading these comments, 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: feeling the love and the support for what we're doing 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: right here. Really having discussions, not just debates, not just 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: me talking at you guys, but really trying to layer 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: these conversations. That's my intention, trying to bring the barbershop 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: to the group text, because you know, the group text, 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: that's where we're really honest, and this where we all gather. Man. 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: It could be the sports bar, it could be the 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: pub wherever you be in the club, just yelling at 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: your boy. Hey man, what happened with Ezekiel? You know, 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: those real conversations instead of all this he sucks, he's this, 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: and call them out their name. We ain't about that 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: about over here. So let's talk about what I'm up 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: to before we get into this amazing show. All right, 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: So every day I pick up my kids and when 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: I tell people my schedule, they kind of giggle, like, dog, 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: you're doing way too much, or as I like to say, 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: three months. Right. So I pick up my kids every 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: day around two pm. That's when it's time to get rolling. 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: I don't have to be out the house, but it's 26 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: time to get rolling. My kids go to school across 27 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: state lines in LA. That means you got to cross 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: the four or five in LA. That means you gotta 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: cross the four or five and the one on one. 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: That's what I have to do to go take my 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: kids or pick up my kids from school. Why because 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: we used to live over there, so that's why. And 33 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: it's an amazing school. I love it, they're loving it. 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: So we're committed to that school all the way into 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: the end sixth grade. But we moved and we cross 36 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: state lines when we move, basically. So with that said, 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: about two o'clock I leave a crib to fifteen. I 38 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: get there around three. Y'all. It takes thirty thirty to 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: fifty minutes on average. That's a wide average, right, but 40 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: you usually is thirty five forty minutes get there pick 41 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: them up. I'm not lying. It charges me up every day. 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: Of course, there are some parents who hire services and 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: car services. Remember like different strokes now in the world, 44 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: don't move. I see that like every day, some little 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: limo or sedan car picking up the kids and the 46 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: driver and all that and the run drumming and the 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: little kid jumping into the backpack, thank you, you got 48 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: my snacks? Talking to the driver. It's not an uber, y'all. 49 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: It's a real driver. But because there's a lot of 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: billionaires that go to the school. When I say a lot, 51 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: I mean more than one. I think it's like three 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: or four that I know of offhand. And I'm just 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: the one that gotta be there touch my kids physically 54 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: see them, because every time they light up and dandy 55 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: a gaki little art and they got the little project 56 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: that they made for the day that looks a mess. 57 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: It just charges me. Without that, I don't know where 58 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: I would be. So I commit to that pickup. My 59 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: wife commits to dropping them off typically unless she's working. 60 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: So that's our schedule. So I get back home around 61 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: four o'clock. Yeah, I left the crib at two. I'll 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: come back at four easily. I could be here doing 63 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: something a little more meaningful in terms of business, but 64 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: what's more meaningful than letting your kids light you up 65 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: every single day? So that was great. After that taekwondo 66 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: practice last night, my son is kicking ass, literally like 67 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: kicking ass. The little kid turned around, he kick him 68 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: in his button. Can turn around and say, hey, he 69 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: kicked him in the head. I say, my boy, boy, 70 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: he can kick My boy is about that. Life really 71 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: athletic for a seven year old. We'll see what happens 72 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: with that. After that Snowfall, you know me, I'm finally 73 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: caught up, and I'm glad I did because my boy, 74 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: Omar Dorsey is in the latest episode. If y'a'll know 75 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: who he is, he was in Queen Sugar Ray Donovan, 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: but he's also the mechanic I guess Clyde and Snowfalls. 77 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: Shout out to my dog, who's out here actually filming 78 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: a show. I guess it's a show HBO Max with 79 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: my other boy sebastad Man Skalko. They're filming some show. 80 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is called, but it's 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: basically about BUCkies and stuff and it's gonna be really 82 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: good after that, you know what, I just chilled out, man. 83 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: I had me a little sip of something, a little Annaho, 84 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: a Yahoo, a little cass Yahoo, and then I crashed 85 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: now crashing at the wide cribs a little different, and 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell y'all that next episode this is gangster. But 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: right now, let's get into the show. Right now, Aaron 88 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Rodgers told Adam Schefter to lose his number. I can't lie, 89 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: y'all like me. I love when athletes beefoot media.

We clown too many people, me included. 96 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: You get into that zone where you get that is 97 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: a human being doing the best he can. That is 98 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: a black belt trying this, damn this, and when they 99 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: flip it on him, when the rabbit got the gun, 100 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers like, fool you lying stop it, lose 101 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: my number?

Green Bay, now in 105 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: negotiation mode, is acting like, oh no, no, we don't 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: know about all that. I don't know about all that. 107 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: We've been having these conversations privately. I don't know about 108 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: all that. We'll see what happens. You know. That's what 109 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: you gotta do. You gotta put that hat on when 110 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: you're in negotiation mode. I get it. But check out 111 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: what Zach Wilson said. He gonna eat these words. He 112 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: said this back in January. I'm gonna make that dude's 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: life hell in practice every day. Oh you are? Or 114 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: you mean you're like gonna be hell now and their 115 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: practice every day because if Aaron Rodgers show up, Zach 116 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Wilson get used to carrying helmets homeboy, if Aaron Rodgers 117 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: shows up, getting used to not being known around there, 118 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: Hey you remember me? Is Zach? Hey? Guys, and they'd 119 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: be like, what, man, you better get your heads out 120 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: of my face. It is so funny to see a 121 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: guy pop off like that, because you know, after the 122 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: roller coaster rides Zach Wilson's been on, that's the last 123 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: thing you need to be saying to somebody like, you're 124 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: gonna oh, the gem is like, did you hear what 125 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: Zach said? No? Did you see what Zach said? Oh 126 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: my god, He's like he's gonna bring hell every day 127 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: to wherever we bring it here. And then somebody in 128 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: the back was like, well, they're bring it there. That's 129 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: the devil. He is hell himself, So now bring hell 130 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: to the devil. I dare you, Zach Wilson, You're gonna 131 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: eat them words. That's gonna be hilarious. Aaron Rodgers also 132 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: was quoted by saying, I went into darkness ninety percent, retiring, 133 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: ten percent playing. Obviously that flipped on that retreat kind 134 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: of went back to himself. And sometimes that can happen. 135 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: You know, you can get caught up in a moment 136 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: of life and stuff just starts to layer on you 137 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: and you really can't separate the city from the noise. Right, 138 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: the noise is so loud you forgot. Oh I love this. 139 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Oh this is me. Oh I'm still great at this, 140 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: So let me make sure I still commit to that. 141 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: Other than that, he said, I'm debatably the best player 142 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: in franchise history. Wow, I don't even think that's a 143 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: debate you are the best player in franchise history, but 144 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: you're not the greatest player in franchise history. Bret Farve 145 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: has their heart, no matter what he's done to them people, 146 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: he has their heart, maybe because he was first in 147 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: comparison to you, but more importantly, it seems like there 148 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: are more signature moments. But Aaron Rodgers, Oh yeah, talent, 149 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They both want one super Bowl. I'm not 150 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: gonna get into all that. Y'all watch NFL live, y'all 151 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: want that. But I think that Aaron Rodgers is a 152 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: better quarterback, but Bret Farve was a greater quarterback. All 153 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: that said, man, it's gonna be fun to watch Aaron 154 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: Rodgers kick up from dust, bring the pitchfork and show 155 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: them that I'm the devil. Zach Wilson and Hall is 156 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: upon you, and it's time to cut Ezekiel Ellie's hands 157 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: off this team. Man saw this coming. I thought this 158 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: should have happened before, not necessarily him getting cut. But dude, 159 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: he was not the best running back on that team. 160 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: We all know. It was Tony Pollard who was now 161 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: recovering from injuries, so he got franchise. They're going to 162 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: obviously bet on Tony Pollard healing and coming back as strong, 163 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: if not stronger. But let's talk about Ezekiel Elliott. What 164 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: a ride for him, man, because obviously he came into 165 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: the league under scrutiny because of some of his indiscretions 166 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: off the field. You guys know them. They're a well recorded. 167 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: But in his set set, Zeke played for the Cowboy 168 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: for seven years. Damn that was a long time, but 169 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: it flew by. Ezekiel Elliott had ten thousand, four hundred 170 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: and ninety eight all purpose yards. It's always bad when 171 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: they saw all purpose shards first, you know why, because 172 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: that means we can't just say rushing yards and didn't 173 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: add on something else. They got to give it all 174 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: to you right there. They're trying to be nice to 175 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: this boy. And led the league in Russian twice. There 176 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: you go, ranks third in franchise history and Russian yards 177 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: and Russian touchdowns? What did that mean? Behind Emma Smith 178 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: and Tony Door said, oh that means something, right, somebody's 179 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: else say third in the history and you're like, what, 180 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: oh them too? Yeah, I would take my bronze medal 181 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: now I knew that it was over for Zeke in 182 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: terms of upstairs in their minds, they turned the light 183 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: switch off. When the last play from scrimmage in a 184 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: playoff game, we see the Dallas Cowboys line up their 185 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: franchise running back at center, and I'm like, if I 186 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: played running back before, If the running back is playing center, 187 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: guess what coaches have checked out on your button. It's 188 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: a rap. So not only is he playing center, because 189 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: I can get it if you put him at center, 190 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: but you got him running a nice route or whatever. 191 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it makes sense he had to sit there and 192 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: blocks because the forty nine ers ain't stupid. We see 193 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: Zeke at center, blitz, but make him block from right there. 194 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: He ain't going nowhere? Why and we all know how 195 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: that turned out, right, He got posterized like ze got 196 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: cock roaches, he got dead leg I can't even do 197 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: it in this chair plus my belly. But I liked 198 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: he was just sitting there, like, oh, if they had 199 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: won that game. The Cowboys, let me tell you how 200 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: much they were the clown Zeke. But when you lose 201 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: the game, you can't go into the film room with 202 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: them jokes. But trust me, if that's my boy, I'm 203 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: hitting them with that you got raided like a big 204 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: Canna raid. HiT's just sitting there, dead leg. That was funny. Now, Ezekiel, 205 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: here's the thing. You were in decline. We know it 206 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: for a while there, didn't You got a little spike again, 207 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: a little roller coaster ride. But the last three years 208 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: nine hundred yards, eight hundred yards, one thousand yards, and 209 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: none of those are Ezekiel numbers. Let's talk about why, 210 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: because a lot of times we hear a thousand yard rusher, 211 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, that's amazing, and it's like, 212 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: let's go back to math class. I don't know what 213 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: level math this is for you, but one thousand yards 214 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: divided by seventeen games, how many yards you think that 215 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: is a game? Okay, it's fifty eight point fifty eight 216 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: yards a game. Now, you fantasy players out there, if 217 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: I told you to go get a running back that 218 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: was gonna get fifty eight yards a game, you throw 219 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: your phone at me. Man, shut up, I'm no damn 220 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: running back. Fifty eight yards a game. That's nothing. It's 221 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: crazy how a thousand yards season sounds so grand, But 222 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: when you bust that thing down, it's fifty eight yards 223 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: a game. Man, you get your story ass out of here. 224 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: So now people are saying, where is he going? Buffalo 225 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Bills was one of the first names I heard. Real 226 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: contending team, get him out the NFC, to the AFC, 227 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: whatever that may be. Look, I don't think he has 228 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: a ton left. From looking at him and evaluating him, 229 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: I see a short yardage running back with exceptional bursts. 230 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: But between the twenties, I don't see an exceptional running 231 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: back anymore. I don't see a guy who has that 232 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: six gear. Now, I'm not gonna go into the rumor mill, 233 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: but I will be honest with my audience. About three 234 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: years ago, a birdie told me that as Zeke is 235 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: doing a little too much off the field. Now. I 236 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: was like, really, that's what's going on? And I was 237 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: like oom. And then I think it was around the 238 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: time where he got caught up at this festival. Right, 239 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: he got in trouble at a festival or something. Right, 240 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: And we know if you've been to a festival before, 241 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: let's just say it's kind of easy to inhale and 242 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: exhale air that's not pure whatever it may be, or 243 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: worse things. Right, I've been a Coachella before, not tempted, 244 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: but certainly offered some things beyond my normal drink and 245 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: a gummy, like I like a gummy and I love 246 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: me some drink, but I ain't doing both at the 247 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: same time because you ain't gonna see me no more. 248 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: Nine nine. So other than that, I know what goes 249 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: on because I went with a group and one of 250 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: the girls got on it and I was like, yo, 251 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: ass looking weird right now. So I don't see you 252 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: tomorrow because I am not trying to hear how this 253 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: knight ended with you on that. And I remember I 254 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: was at coach. I think that was a Kanye one 255 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: or something, crazy dope, who can you kill that? But Ezekiel, 256 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: I heard, was just doing a little more than the normal, 257 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know what that meant, and if I do, 258 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: I protect the guilty, right, So I started to put 259 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: that together with what I was seeing on the field, 260 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: like he was just burning both ends of the candles. 261 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: What a Mark Leavey said, You can't hoop with the 262 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: owls and soar with the eagles, So Ezekiel is just 263 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: doing too much, right, Okay, that makes sense. Then you 264 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,359 Speaker 1: start watching the run and the legs just didn't respond 265 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: to me. They looked dull to me, dead legged. It's 266 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: kind of like right now, I'm watching Odell Beckham Junior 267 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: show some highlights from his workouts, and he's obviously had 268 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the two ACL injuries, et cetera. Right still can catch 269 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: the ball like none other, one hand grab the point 270 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,599 Speaker 1: of the ball wild la, lad, are you gonna do? 271 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: But I'm watching those subtle movements. And why am I 272 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: watching those subtle movements because I've noticed that when I 273 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: started to fall off, those subtle movements were missing. So 274 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: it's like this. When you are in prime shape and 275 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: healthy and mindless, that means you are totally committed to yourself. Right, 276 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: You're in the zone all instinct Literally, your feet are 277 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: typewriters to your fullest. Like me that that that I 278 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: used to do that backdriels that. And then when you're 279 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: not that guy, and I'm gonna show you how it 280 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: really illustrates in the game, you're not that that you're 281 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: not drumline anymore, but you're like that that that every 282 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: time that you're in the air, you can't make a 283 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: decision where somebody else that that that that all of 284 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: those contact points are decisions that can be made. That 285 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: means he could go back. That mean because and versus 286 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: dumb dump. Now, if I'm a defender, dumb dump is 287 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: a lot easier to defend that. And he's lost that. 288 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: We all know it, we all seen it, Kenny Regain 289 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: it as the conversation. Sometimes it is as simple as 290 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air and a recommitment to the game, 291 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: not burning both ends of the candles. As I heard 292 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: through the rumor mill, whatever's going on with Ezekiel Elliott. 293 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: He's not too old in terms of turning the corner 294 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden getting himself back. But is 295 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: he too beat up? Right? Seven years and he used 296 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: to get the rock and we're not seeing it right now. 297 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: So the only thing about it is it's interesting when 298 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: I saw him. I only met him one time, and 299 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: when I met him. When I met him, I was like, Okay, 300 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: let's just say his feet were a little off the ground, right, 301 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: That's the nicest way I can say it, man, because 302 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to kick him when he's down. Once 303 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: you get your job and once you get your new contract, 304 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell y'all what that means. When his feet were 305 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: off the ground. Hello, Oh, lie lie, oh, let's go 306 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: to Miami. Where if you say, oh, lie down in Miami, 307 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: you know who gonna come out? Send y'all eat thoughts, GotY? 308 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Miami is an amazing hunt. Like, no one walking this 309 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: planet says anything bad about Miami. It's nightlife's social scene. 310 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: You may say, yeah, man, look this rain every day 311 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: at three o'clock is getting a little annoy. Ain't gonna 312 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: get that right. You may even say, God, Lee, man, 313 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: this humidity is whipping my butt. You give me that. 314 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: The hurricane just wiped this out. You got me there. 315 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: But if it's sunny and then it's nighttime and then 316 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: we can go out. Oh it isn't there any place 317 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: better than Miami. You know why, Let's be real about it, 318 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: because it's so damn close to the Caribbean and all 319 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: these little small countries and everybody's there. The melting pot 320 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: is the sweetest, Like America's a big melting pot. But 321 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: some parts of us we're putting meat and potatoes in 322 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: the pop dn get out there. I want to go there, 323 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: right Midwest and stuff like that. And then some parts 324 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: it's like Miami, it's like heribs and spices and you're like, 325 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: who when I'm in Miami. I'm like, I don't. My 326 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: wife and I we are committed to trying to just 327 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: look at people like what is that? Who is that? 328 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it is culture to show up and show out. 329 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: Good job in Miami. That's why I never lived down there, 330 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: so I can have a family, be faithful and have kids. Goodness, 331 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: Miami too much. Let's talk about this. But we're in 332 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: Miami right there with Jimmy Butler, and I don't know 333 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: how he lives down there, but he does. He punished 334 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: his teammates by blasting Nickelback after they're lost to Orlando. Now, one, 335 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: there are Nickelback fans. You know why? How I know 336 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: because I heard a nickel Back. So it must be 337 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: a big group, right, And what do they call it? 338 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: I think Herbert told me it's called radio rock. They're 339 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: a radio rock star whatever. They're big, Right, So you 340 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: go into a locker room, let's just all assume by 341 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: the stereotype, we're gonna listen to rap, black white whatever 342 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: is in that locker room were listening to the rap 343 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: because rap the number one music genre in the world. Now, 344 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: which is a whole other conversation. We gonna have one day, y'all. 345 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: I can't believe it because I was a lie and 346 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: aware day one of rap and now it's number one. 347 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: And let me tell y'all, always been a long road. 348 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: It's been a tough journey to get to number one. 349 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: But we'll get to that another time. So imagine you 350 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: go into the locker room and you're a grown man, right, 351 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: because this is where the conversation is going to evolve to. 352 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: You're a grown man, right, you tyler hero or something? 353 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: You bawled, y'all loss to Orlando whatever. And then Jimmy 354 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: comes in, and Jimmy is the man amongst men. He's 355 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: the alpha dog. He's moved as right. He walked in 356 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: and he pissed. Now we all lost, but you pissed 357 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: we lost. Maybe I'm not pissed. I did my best. 358 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: We lost. Hey, we got eighty two of these. We 359 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: all good. But the alpha came in, ru I don't 360 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: like this movement and pushes play they still have anything? 361 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: He push play on, Yeah, pushes play on the on 362 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: the damn eight track, pushes it in, put the eight 363 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: track in. Nickelback comes on and he just blasting and 364 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: he just looking at everybody like this turning it louder. Yeah, 365 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: you suck us. Oh yeah, y'all gonna play harder because 366 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: y'all gotta listen to Nickelback. I don't know how he 367 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: connected those two and think that's gonna work. It's most efficient, 368 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: but he did it right just to be the a hole, right, 369 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: And I just laugh because I am uniquely qualified to 370 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: talk about this conversation. We know in any room there's 371 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: gonna be four corners, and thankfully now I was blessed 372 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: to be in every corner of the locker room. Now, 373 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: going into it, I only wanted to be in one corner. 374 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to be in the Lebron James corner. But 375 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: I was in all four corners. Let's describe it. Let's 376 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: talk through this. Because when you're the alpha, when you're 377 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: the man, when you have that level of power, oh 378 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: there's nothing sweeter. So when I came into the league, 379 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: I came from a small school. So the first corner 380 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: was should he even be in here? You know those 381 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: undrafted guys the brock Purdy day one, mister irrelevant or 382 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: me the second rounder, but you went to Columbia. Sorry, 383 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: as like, what are you doing here? Right now? There's 384 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: another corner over there, which is okay, on the team, 385 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: I got something in him, like we cool with him, 386 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: we need him, He's valuable to a degree. Then you 387 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: become that corner where Lebron and those guys live, right, 388 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: And I was in that corner too, where they're like, 389 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: not only is he the man, we need him if 390 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna win, we need him if we're gonna do something. 391 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: He gotta show up. He got paid. He the dude. 392 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: He's an all star pro bowler or all pro whatever 393 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: you want to call him, and he is or MoU 394 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: fassa right. But I've also been this guy. That's why 395 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: I said I'm uniquely qualified. Shouldn't have been in there. Okay, 396 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: I'll see you on me. Oh man, I'm so mysellers, 397 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: do you want some more cheese and wine?

Assistant coaches 416 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: that like the bark to them little boodles because they 417 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: got the big dog behind them, the head coach who's 418 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: sitting there like, okay, go get them coordinators, and the coordinators, yeah, 419 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: oh y'all, I need to do what you need to do. 420 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: And this dude no disrespect is making in a year 421 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,239 Speaker 1: which you making one game and he barking at you, 422 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 1: pucking you because he got the power to do. So. 423 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk to those power dynamics because 424 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious when you see the man amongst men, 425 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: and no matter how much he may flex on his boys, 426 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: he may go home and his family got to bow 427 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: down so they can get their monthly allowance. But in 428 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: that locker room, usually it's one dude that rules. And 429 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: I was blessed to have a moment where I was 430 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: that dude, but I had many more where I wasn't. 431 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: Let's talk about John morand who sat down with Jaylen Rose. 432 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know if y'all remember Jaylen Rose, and 433 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about Fab five Jaylen Rose, but 434 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: Jalen Rose had the culture and the headlock for a while. 435 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: Always in the videos and the movies. This was like 436 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: the go to guy in terms of sports when the 437 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: rapper or entertainer wanted to look fresh. And I remember 438 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: when I used to hang out. I used to always 439 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: look up to Jaylen Rose in that respect, Like damn, 440 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: Jaylen knows everybody and it was just always in the 441 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: mix and still was balling. Had a one hundred million 442 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: dollars contract Fab five dude like Jayleen salute man has 443 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: in school. Say what you want about to dude. I 444 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: just think he's a great guy and it's doing amazing, 445 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: especially since we known him he can't. He upraised us 446 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: and felt like, like who didn't pull their shorts down 447 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: a little longer? Because Jaylen Rose and the Fab five 448 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: was out there getting it. But he sat down with 449 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 1: John Morand and John Morant with Jalen actually has some 450 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: good quotes. I'm not gonna go through the whole interview. 451 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: You gotta watch it yourself. I saw about a four 452 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: minute clip. I'm not sure if there's gonna be more 453 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: in the upcoming days, but one of the quotes that 454 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: stood it out was the gun wasn't mine. It's not 455 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: who I am. Yeah, I know you're not a gun. 456 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't condone any type of violence. I take full 457 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: responsibility for my actions. I like that. Actually, I love 458 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: that except one part. But I love the fact that 459 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: he's like, that's not me, dog. I was fronting, I 460 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: was doing too much. I was out there high sign. 461 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: That's not who John Moran is. It's time to take 462 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: a pause, time to realize who I am and portray 463 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: that properly, especially because not only am I a baller 464 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: NBA superstar, but I'm a father. I love all that now. 465 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: It also told me something y'all know me.

My boys, 496 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even a superstar. My boys as drunk as 497 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: we may be, as as as gone as we may be. 498 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: And it's happened before. Cat a dog nah hell nah. 499 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,120 Speaker 1: Remember I was. I was drunk in my bachelor party 500 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: and these girls were coming and I was like, let 501 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: them coming, and my board roll block. No no, no, 502 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: y'all may have cameras, y'all may be crazy. No no, no, 503 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: we ain't doing that. We're just here to have you herbs. 504 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: But keeps me out the news, right, keeps me from 505 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: moments like this, just being real. Gotta be vulnerable about 506 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: these situations. But people have a role to play. And 507 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: it sounds like whoever gave you that gun? And maybe 508 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: you just didn't want to say it was your I 509 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: don't know. But if somebody's in your circle that's enabling 510 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: you to do bad behavior and they're not the star 511 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: like you can't have it all right. So also, John Morant, 512 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: let's talk through this, had a meeting with Adam Silver. 513 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: Let's read it. Morant conducted to sit down interview with 514 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: Jalen in New York hours after meeting with the Commissioner 515 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: Adam Silver, who called Morant's conduct quote irresponsible, reckless, and 516 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: potentially very dangerous in the statement Wednesday announcing the eight 517 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: game suspension. Okay, so now we got a number eight 518 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: game suspension, got you, and the commissioner has put the 519 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: world on notice, as he's putting you on notice that 520 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: no more of this, this can't be tolerated. Why he 521 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: doesn't hate John Moran. He loves John Moran. He also 522 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: likes running an NBA league that makes money. And you 523 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: gotta understand the proxy of your services. Like one thing 524 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: as an athlete, we get caught up in thinking that 525 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: we're a person to these organizations. Nah, be you're a 526 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: commodity and it rhymes. You understand you are charging them 527 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: for your services. They are paid for your services. They 528 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: really don't care about much. Helse y'all. Okay, you can 529 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: throw on some initiatives or throw on your charity whatever, 530 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: and you can throw a lot more in if you're 531 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: a good guy and you're a great player. But we 532 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: could keep it leaning. Mean, just give me the services 533 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: and I give you the check. But when you start 534 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: straying and bringing bad attention, bad publicity to the organization 535 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: and to the NBA as a whole, oh we got problems. 536 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: No matter how great you are. That's the issue right here. 537 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: So John Morant eight games without pay for conduct detrimental 538 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: to the league. It's hard to go to sponsors when 539 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: you got somebody who's a star, who's on the billboard 540 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: right behind you, was flashing a gun on i G 541 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: Live the day before. So all of that said, I'm 542 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: looking forward to more of John Morant, and not only 543 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: as a basketball player being great, but in the mental 544 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: space of being a great person of character. I think 545 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: he got it in them. I just know that he 546 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: went on a bad, horrible streak of trying to impress people. 547 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: I think he went on this horrible path of trying 548 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: to make sure that other people thought that he was 549 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: somebody he wasn't. He was out to prove something. You 550 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: ain't got nothing to prove, y'all. You're already won. All right, y'all, 551 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: y'all know how we finish this show every single day. 552 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: What a wilyism now yet, Okay, here's the wild ism 553 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: for today. I can't resist everything. Accept temptation. I love 554 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: that I can resist everything. Accept temptation. Oh man, learn 555 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: long time ago. Don't play with fire, long time ago. 556 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: Don't play with fire. It's hot, it can warm you, yeah, 557 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: but it's gonna get hot even when it's warm you 558 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: right like it's gonna take you from your room temperature 559 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: to warm to hot. Don't play with fire. I can 560 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: resist everything. Accept temptation. You gotta know thyself, right, You 561 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: gotta know who you are, and the best way to 562 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: resist anything is to avoid it. Punk out. Stop trying 563 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: to be the dude that's going to the club to 564 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: my m good. I'm good because somebody's gonna be in 565 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: that club. That's gonna be great, and it's gonna be late, 566 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: and then you can't wait, and then your wife go, hey, 567 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, stop it, y'all, y'all 568 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: need that on your plate. Let me all right, I'm done. 569 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: I told y'all a freestyle top five ever ass, big tigger, ass, Eddie, George, 570 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: I am top five, every one of them. Hydrated is silly, 571 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: but in seriousness, so many times in this world we 572 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: want challenges and I'm overcome that. I'm gonna do that. 573 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: But if you know you gotta end goal that you 574 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: just gotta attain. Bro avoid the bs, avoid it, not 575 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: dance with it, not hang with him a little bit, 576 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: and not do it like dog, I gotta get here. 577 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: So I heard Michael B. Jordan actually say this. He's like, 578 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm not wasting my young years partying. He's like, I hang, 579 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: I kick it. Very rarely do I do it, but 580 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: I do. But I am not wasting my young years partying. 581 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: I like that as a mindset overall. Look, no one's 582 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: gonna be perfect and none of this. But at the 583 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: same time, you can really sabotage your own plans just 584 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: because you're not walking a straight line to where you 585 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: want to go. What's the shortest path between two points 586 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: straight line right right there? Connect those two things. So 587 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: I learned a long time ago. Hopefully you guys know 588 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: this too. You want to get somewhere it go there, 589 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: don't go everywhere else, and then still try to get 590 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: there because I know I can resist everything, everything except temptation. 591 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it.
