Speaker 1: for real, Like it's so small that when you drive

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: up to it you smell manure. She is from a

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: farm town, for real. And it's crazy cause I'll be

55

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: some real small town questions, like should I go back

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: and take another picture at the red carpet? I was like, yeah,

62

Speaker 1: take a picture here. Can you make sure that I'm

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: just like laughing, like it's like her first day of

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: school kind of stuff. So that's been a fun ride

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: with her. Other than that, we left there after the event,

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: we went to go eat. Yeah, we're that family that

69
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: goes to an event, eats drinks for free, and then

70
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: go somewhere else and pay to eat. I don't know why.

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: We just like to do it because we don't get

72
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: many date nights. So we had a date night. It

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: was hilarious. We went to a place called Steak for

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: out Here. Insane, beautiful, unreal. I've been doing a lot

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: of emotional eating, and it's interesting. I have to be

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: real with y'all. Man turned that date night into some

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: more of my bad eating. I've been having a ton

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: of French fries, sandwiches, you know, not the worst of stuff,

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: but I've been doing it consistently. And I figured out why.

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I got triggered by going to that funeral last weekend,

81
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: right and dealing with my own mother who died of cancer.

82
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Like my wife's mother died of cancer, and then seeing

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: the itdy biddies have to deal with that and ask

84
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: why is Grandma in the sky? Is she ever coming back?

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: And what happens when you go to the sky, all

86
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: those real, big, deep questions. So everyone in my family knows.

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I never dealt with my mother's death, and I think

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: that's healthy. You know, whether a doctor agrees or not,

89
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: I'm fine. The way I deal with it is the

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: same way I dealt with when I missed my mother

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: while she was alive. So you know, you go to college.

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: I go to college in New York. My mama's in LA.

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: She wanted me to go to use. I wanted to

94
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: go to UCLA. I just knew all my homies wanted

95
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: me to go to EA CLA too, And I was like, Mama,

96
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: just trying to tell you, it's gonna be high school

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: two point oho and a lot worse because I'm gonna

98
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: have some freedom. So I need to go leave this nest.

99
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: So I go to New York. I only saw my

100
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: mom like twice a year. Yeah, for the summer. You

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: see it for a couple of months, and then once

102
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: during the year or at Christmas break that was it.

103
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: So it would go like four or five six months

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: at a time I wouldn't see my mom. Then you

105
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: get to the NFL, same things. I'm gonna pick it

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: out the schedule, all right. I'm going to that Miami game.

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: Everybody want to go to Miami game. I'm going to

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: the Miami game. And then I go up to Buffalo.

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm going early though, I'm going before snows. Damn. Actually,

110
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go before snows and winning snows. I want

111
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to see it both, right, So I'm gonna go to

112
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: three games. Okay, that's three weekends. You see your mama,

113
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and what since we get to camp in July, then

114
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: I see my mama three times all the way to

115
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: February January. So I got used to a schedule of

116
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: not seeing my mother. I'm telling you this why because

117
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: that's how I'm thinking right now. Isn't that crazy? That's

118
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: the way I deal with it. I deal with it.

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 1: But I said, I'm gonna see my mama after camp. Now,

120
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: this camp is gonna be forever, eternal. I'm not gonna

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: see her forever as long as I live. She's in

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: the sky, as I tell her, anye biddies. But that's

123
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: how I deal with it. So I don't know if

124
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: it's healthy or not, but it's working. I can't tell

125
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: my eighty biddies how to do that. But at the

126
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: same time, that's how we're trying to survive with all

127
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: the pain that we're dealing with. And I need to

128
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: stop eating so bad or else, y'all gonna have a

129
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: different cod up here. This host gonna look like somebody

00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: sounds like a strong man of character out there. I

155
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: say that Jordan, who lives in Fort Washington, respect to

156

Speaker 1: salute to you, Sergio for supporting the foundation. Make sure

00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: I get to read your name as well. Project Transition

161
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: dot org. All right, let's get it too. The damn Show.

162
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: Wiley talking about how fat, you're gonna be now, you

163
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: miss your mama and you love your little daughter. Talk

164
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: about some damn sports, all right, Let's talk about some sports.

165
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: All right. Let's talk about Ryan Leaf right now. I

166
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: got some Ryan Leaf stories for y'all. I'm sure he

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: has more of them. We've heard a lot of them.

168
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: But we know who he is. Former NFL quarterback, had

169
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: his troubles. But now he's talking about the troubles that

170
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: ESPN is putting itself in with their college Game Day

171
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: crew that includes lead coorse So with the big old

172
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: head mascot heads, Kirk Curbs Street talking about him, Pat McAfee,

173
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: all of them, etc. For their portrayal of the Washington

174
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: State football program during a recent broadcast. Now we all

175
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: know that Ryan Leaf went to Washington State, so we

176
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: could see the bias that's laced in them. But let's

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: make sure we separate the bias from the truth, because

178
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: I think in this one we may have both. All right. So,

179
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf expresses displeasure with Game Day's characterization of the

180
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Washington State Oregon State matchup as the Nobody Wants Us Bowl,

181
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: which he felt turned the game into a comedic bit,

182
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: made it like something of hilarity, and then the line

183
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: with the spirit of celebrating college football, which he thought

184
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: college Game Day was and should be. Okay, I hear

185
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: you there. He's talking about a broadcast partner. He's talking

186
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: about a show, and he's like, look, y'all really kind

187
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: of going in on this matchup when this is a

188
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: matchup that's about college football, and your job is just

189
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: the broadcast college football. But ESPN does have a separate

190
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: job than the broadcast college football. Y'all know what it is.

191
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: It's the broadcast the SEC, right, and when you got

192
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: the SEC, all of a sudden, the muscles look a

193
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: little different, you flex a little different. So let's get

194
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: into the beasts of this. He believes Game they missed

195
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity to handle the situation more appropriately. He said, quote,

196
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: you just had an opportunity. You fell short, and I

197
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: feel like I'm comfortable enough to call you out on it.

198
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: All right, So Game Days has been facing some challenges

199
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: being real about all this conference realignment and how to

200
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: talk about it. And you know, they're human beings and

201
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: they're competitive and they all went to these schools. So

202
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: it's like, you can have a manday, you can have

203
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: a montro Hey, guys, we're gonna go out there and

204
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: uplift college football. Look, when I used to speak on air,

205
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: they used to always say, Hey, be nice to the NFL, Like,

206
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: say what you want, but don't kill the NFL. You

207
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: know why, because the NFL pays these bills. So that

208
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: was kind of the conversation I'm certain that they had

209
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But when you go out there, there

210
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: are human beings out there who are actually executing the task.

211
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: In this case, Ryan Lee feels like they didn't execute

212
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: the task, all right, So what else is going on here?

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: They're caught up in that pickle between all the conference

214
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: realignments and the fact that they're supposed to sound neutral

215
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: in this conversation if they're on air. All right, here's

216
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: an example, McAfee. He made headlines for being critical of

217
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: the conference inability to strike a broadcast deal with ESPN

218
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: before encouraging the same fans to enjoy the hell out

219
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: of the Final Pack twelve season. You see what I'm

220
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: saying there, Like everybody taking their jabs even though you're

221
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: supposed to sound neutral in this conversation. We also know

222
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: that Ryan Leaf is caught up in the pickle because

223
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: he's employeed by ESPN at the same time he's calling

224
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: college football games, but also went to this same school

225
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: that the network just got jokes on, right, Washington State

226
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: Oregan State. Let's be real, first of all, ain't nobody

227
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: want to try? Who want to watch Washington State Oregon State? Right? Like? Not?

228
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Right now? Who is? I'm a lums and he's in

229
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: the lumps. So that's why you can see he's kind

230
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: of caught up in the middle, all right. So they

231
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: highlighted all that him being from the PAC twelve, him

232
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,479
Speaker 1: been from Washington State, and that's why he in his feelings,

233
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: y'all agree with that? Or let's talk about this, the

234
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: fact that ESPN, since they sitting on top of the hill,

235
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: you know, king of the mountain, because they got the

236
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: SEC deal, they looking around like dog, why not take shots? Right?

237
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of helping us out in terms of

238
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: showing a disparity between what we are broadcasting, what we

239
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: have and what's out there? Interesting? Right, So let's rewind time.

240
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you behind the veil of this one

241
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: since I have some information and I have some experience

242
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: with this. Excuse me, Dougie Fresh. Yes, do y'all remember

243
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: the whispers of super conferences. I want to go back

244
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: to early two thous in teens, like twenty eleven. I

245
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: don't know, it feels like that world. When you start

246
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: hearing this word called super conferences. He was like, ain't

247
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: no way to hoole NC double A gonna turn into

248
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: super conferences. And following that immediately was the conversation of noting,

249
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: you're right, it's not gonna follow into that because the

250
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: NC double A is gonna go away like AAU went

251
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: away and then came back only in basketball or something

252
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: like that, because AAU used to have track and field

253
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff and then they lost

254
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: it to THAC. I'm going way too deep for y'all.

255
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: But basically, this stuff shifts, y'all. This stuff changes around.

256
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: So with that said, now we're in this position where

257
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: you look at these deals and you're like, wait a minute,

258
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: there are super powers at play creating super conferences, and

259
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: that's what's going on, right, they were predicted and everyone laughs.

260
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, gotta scoff that a mockerre never. And now

261
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: those people behind the scenes, those networks brought their cash

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: brought their distribution, brought their platform to make this happen.

263
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: So big money caused this to occur Incluton, ESPN. So

264
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf is basically like, look, y'all, the reason why

265
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: all this is happening in the first place part of

266
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: the reason, and now y'all gonna make a joke of it.

267
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Here's why Ryan Leaf has a lot to stand on.

268
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Because of these super conferences. Everyone's gonna win. That's a

269
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: part of it. ESPN. All the broadcast partners, whoever has

270
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: those games, You're gonna win, players gonna win because of the

271
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: nil etc. Everyone is gonna win. But everyone's not gonna

272
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: be a part of the losses. Uh huh. The losses

273
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: are that other ninety percent of NIL kids, those kids,

274
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: those forgotten kids, that Washington State, Oregon State, who won't

275
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: have the same level of resource in support as those

276
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: who are locked into these super conferences. See how it goes.

277
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna win in college football. The money's gonna go up.

278
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, But some of y'all gonna be on welfare,

279
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: some of y'all gonna be abandoned, some of y'all gonna

280
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: be foster kids. That's how it goes, and I think

281
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf knows that his alma mater is gonna be

282
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: one of them more than likely, so he's sensitive to it,

283
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: maybe too sensitive to it. But at the same time,

284
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: he does have a case. Why are you trying to

285
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: rub it in their face? Why are you trying to

286
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: twist the knife when you're the one that stabbed everybody

287
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: in the first place. You the one that sliced this

288
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: up to make these super conferences, to make this realignment occur.

289
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty interesting right there to see that.

290
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: So what side are you on? Ryan Leaf's side or

291
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: ESPN side? Even though Ryan Leaf works for ESPN, Right

292
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: in terms of hey, let him go at it, man,

293
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: this is competition were broadcasting. Why can we have competition

294
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: in terms of us talking about it? Interesting? So also,

295
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf, like when you got a bias, like that's

296
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: like me being on game day talking about Columbia. It's

297
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: only so much positive you can say. And then you

298
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: got to keep it real at the same time, Right,

299
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: we don't have the most storied history in terms of

300
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: college football, so you gotta be able to separate the two.

301
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: Is Ryan Leaf taking this way too sensitive? Is he

302
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: being way too hypercritical or he has some real to

303
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: stand on. Let me know what y'all think about that

304
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:32,080

324
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: NFL racist. I'm scrolling through my timeline and I said,

325
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: what's the time? Y'all know what that is. That's easy.

326
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: And I was like, what's the time? Is the NFL racist?

327
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: I was like, Damn? Am I still black? And I'm like,

328
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: what am I still doing? Alright? In life? Damn they

329
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: bore them racist NFL players and damn organizations they show

330
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: know how to treat it. Brother. I was like, this

331
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: is a weird way to show racism. Obviously, it was

332
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: one of those headlines, clickbait, as they say, to get

333
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: you into it, but it was interesting when I call

334
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: into it, let's talk about is the NFL racist? Well,

335
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: based on some of their ad placements, some people are

336
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: out there saying or thinking or accusing them of being racist.

337
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I was like, what, all right? So the concerns have

338
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: arisen about the presence of white nationalists on Twitter x right,

339
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of that since Elon Musk took over

340
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: and his ownership began in twenty twenty two, there's been

341
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: a spike in it, right, coincidence, correlation, y'all go through

342
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: it all right? So researchers have noted that rise and

343
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: hate speech on the platform during Must's tenure. Now, I

344
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: think and part of it because he said he was

345
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: going to open it up to try and be for

346
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: real free speech. Obviously freedom of speech, that doesn't mean

347
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: you can say any and everything, but he wanted to

348
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: widen the borders of what it was previously. So, okay,

349
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is understood now will

350
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: come what that is conversations like this from the white

351
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: nationalists right now. So, one of the leading white nationalists

352
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: organizations in the country has posted and also talked about

353
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: the NFL while having some of the NFL's ads on

354
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: its site. Okay, so it posts content warning readers about

355
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: the supposed danger of black people and non white immigrants.

356
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: That's what the white nationalists are saying. So X has

357
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 1: been placing the NFL ads on prominent white nationalists accounts

358
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: on X. Obviously that ain't what the NFL wants, right,

359
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: which has called some concern among users and advertisers. Imagine

360
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: you advertising with the NFL. Can't say blud light right now? Dudes?

361
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: All right, So imagine y'all what y'all do to bud light? Man?

362
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: I still got some in the friends. I don't even

363
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: know the drinking right now, I don't know how to

364
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: feel the y'all. Y'all destroyed that. Good for y'all. Power

365
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: to people, right, So let's just say target. I don't know,

366
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: damn y'all did target too? Who's left anybody Hershey's okay? Good,

367
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: y'all can't mess with the candy, right. So I got

368
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: a hirshey bar in there, and I want to eat it.

369
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: And then you're like, all right, And then somebody's like,

370
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: is that the NFL on a white nationalist site? How

371
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: does that work? And it's gonna be even crazier because

372
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: the white nationalists don't like the NFL, according to some

373
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: of these reports. So the NFL's chief media and business

374
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: officer tweeted about a great meeting that they had with

375
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: the exes. Twitter c eat out. But now it's having

376
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: to respond to rising criticism about the league's advertising practices

377
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: on the platform. So Brian Rolap goes out there, meets

378
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: with Linda Yakarino and then they have a great meeting.

379
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: They tweet about his show off, this was amazing, and

380
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: as he was sitting there celebrating their great partnership and

381
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: union people liking them up, saying, bro, do you understand

382
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: what you are talking about? Do you know the intertwining,

383
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: the intermingling that's happening between you NFL and white nationalists.

384
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: So let's get into what's going on with that. So

385
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: the concerns with the platform is that they are putting

386
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: the NFL ads on these prominent white nationalists accounts, and

387
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: it aggregates up to one million plus followers collectively these sites.

388
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: So this ain't no little thing, right. Any of y'all

389
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: got million followers, I don't need anybody else. All y'all

390
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: together got million followers. I don't mean anybody else here.

391
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: You got a million full that's a hundred, that's say

392
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, so that this is big, right, So

393
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: maybe it hasn't hit your radar yet, but it's out there.

394
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: So one prominent white nationalists account the there never heard

395
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: of it, but uh, maybe I'm not their demo say

396
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: that has more than sixty five thousand followers, one of them,

397
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: and has posted content promoting white nationalist ideologies and attacking

398
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: the NFL as anti white. That's what's crazy about this story.

399
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: The NFL is getting promoted by X sounds a little

400
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: lazy on your part X on white nationalist site, and

401
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: as you see that, you're caught off guard. You're like,

402
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: wait a minute. And then you read through the white

403
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: nationalist site they don't like the NFL. Listen to this,

404
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: oh man, They said, look, they've attacked the NFL as

405
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: anti white. Turn off the NFL for good quote, never

406
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: kneel to anyone that supports the anti white blood libel

407
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: of black lives matter and diversity equals no white people. Okay,

408
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: what a bizarro story, right, And that's why I wanted

409
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: to talk about it, because the ain't no way you're

410
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna hear this anywhere else the hell they gonna say

411
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: their partners with the NFL. Right. So the thing about

412
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: it is is that this ad is there to sell

413
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: the NFL's product to its audience, to make us buy tickets,

414
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: season tickets. Once you go to this game, what do

415
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: you buy? Merch popcorn? But like for ninety eight dollars, right,

416
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff, flags, banners, poam, fingers, all that. NFL wants,

417
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: all of that, and they're promoting all of that in

418
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: part on this type of site. Crazy, right, So it

419
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: sounds like an exclusive problem for X, Like, come on,

420
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: I know the NFL is dog cursing the X in

421
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: their head and maybe in their words, but certainly not

422
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: in their action. Let's talk about this because this is

423
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: big business, one on one right when you catch your

424
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: partner slipping and you're like, oh, the NFL's like elon,

425
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: and they know they need X because Twitter X getting

426
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: your message out. Anything better like Instagram is another version,

427
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: but anything better in terms of news and I don't

428
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: think so. So they know they need that platform and

429
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: they got to be delicate how they approach this. Right,

430
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: So first you you have this big meeting, you're loving it.

431
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, everybody starts hitting you with

432
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: advertisers and users what you do in NFL. So now

433
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of walk that back, come back with

434
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: a strong statement like the NFL did, oh we don't

435
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: support any of this stuff. But then what happens behind

436
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: closed doors is what we're discussing right here. How delicate

437
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: the NFL has to be because of that partnership that

438
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: they have with X that they need in terms of

439
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: its platform. The partnership is we can't ruffle their feathers

440
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: because who's gonna broadcast our message outside of us. Y'all

441
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: know how y'all interact with X and Twitter. So despite

442
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: their strong written response and maybe behind closed doors, a

443
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: strong verbal response, Let's see how strong the maction is

444
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna be. Boss. Will Marshawn lind say about that action? Boss? Ah,

445
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: the NFL can't be about that action, boss on this one.

446
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see how they play

447
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: this out. Just monitor this strong statements, maybe even strong words.

448
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: Anything changing. Okay, I know one thing that's gonna change.

449
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: Elon gonna be looking at You're gonna be looking at

450
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: his distribution platform. He's gonna be looking at those in

451
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: the marketing department and say, how the hell did y'all

452
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: put the NFL on some white nationalists accounts? Especially with

453
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: the recent history the NFL's had everything from Colin Kaepernick

454
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: and BLM, etc. And then you know, you look at

455
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: the NFL game, don't they still got like in racism

456
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: in the end zone and stuff like that. And then

457
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: at the same time, you're like, but you over there

458
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: with the white nationalists on the Twitter, You're like, you

459
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: imagine you had a game, because I know a lot

460
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: of people at the games they are on their phones

461
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: for Twitter. I'm on my phone to take pictures and videos.

462
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie look at me, throw the ball

463
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: and know that stuff. So then you're doing that and

464
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: then you're like white nationalists NFL in racism? What is

465
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: going on NFL? So the NFL is not happy. Let

466
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: me just say that, and let me just say this too.

467
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: I guess we could be aspirational, right, I just like

468
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: to be real, you know the whole in racism, like,

469
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: give us something we can attain. I know what you mean.

470
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: So I ain't tripping, But I'm like, you ain't gonna

471
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: end no racism because you ain't gonna end this ignorant

472
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: people gonna be ignorant. What we need to do is

473
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: say something that's realistic, something like give make your living,

474
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: get it, you know, look, treat others like you want

475
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: to be treated like stuff like that, like that. You

476
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: could do that, but in something that is a part

477
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: of the human race, conditions, part of life. Why is

478
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: it a part of life? Because people like their own first,

479
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: they learn you can like others as much. You gotta

480
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: teach kids that. You gotta teach them good or you

481
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: got to teach them bad. Unfortunately, we got a lot

482
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: of bad teachers out there in this world who are

483
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: teaching these kids. Hete so you won't end racism, So

484
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: nobody ever gonna score basically if that's the end zone,

485
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: all right, y'all, So tell me what y'all think about this. Man,

486
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: here's a good but dumb question. Is the NFL racist? Y'all? Stop? Okay,

487
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: that's what the headline asked me, So I asked you

488
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: guys are saying, but seriously, what are the responsibilities of

489
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFL companies as Twitter organizations in terms of monitoring

490
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: and controlling their ads? Right? You want it going out

491
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: to the masses. You wanted to go out to people,

492
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: but certain groups you don't. That's an interesting conversation, isn't it.

493
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: Let's have that and beat it up in the comments.

494
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: Other than that, any of y'all follow u V there,

495
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: let me know it's all good, man, because if you

496
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: follow me there and you follow me, you ain't as

497
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,480

00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: doing that. Now, let's talk about Stephen A Smith who

521
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: ain't got no love. According to Dan Levatard for Skip

522
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: Bayless's career because he said Stephen A. Smith wants to

523
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: end Skip Bayless's career. Wow, I saw that head. I said,

524
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: you say, let's talk about it. So Dan, we know

525
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: who he is. Him is through gods. What's up? Homies.

526
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: They acknowledge that they have a tendency to discuss media matters,

527
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: particularly involving high profile figures like Steven Ah Smith and

528
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: Skip Bayless. Tendency what is wrong with doing? And you

529
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: know me, I love talking about it. But I love

530
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: talking about it because I'm trying to truly reset the

531
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: public discourse on sports, sports media, how we treat our athletes, etc.

532
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: No Hallmark cards. I ain't out here trying to write

533
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: poetry for these athletes. But boy, we are ripping down kids,

534
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: fat heads, just so we can get some clicks, some

535
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: views from ratings. Okay, you got energy for that, dude,

536
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: not a problem. I got energy for you. Not a problem,

537
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: I hope. And if it is a problem for you

538
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: to take it, then you should know you shouldn't give it.

539
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Don't you like how this world resets itself? I do.

540
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: So here's Dan Levatard talking about it. He said, quote,

541
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: I talk about this stuff, probably too much, never too much,

542
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: never too much? Where are that from? But while people

543
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: complain that I talk about it too much, listen to this, y'all.

544
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: Also in numbers, it shows that every time I talk

545
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: about any of this stuff, there are a whole lot

546
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: of people interested in the dynamics of our industry. And kaboom,

547
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: let me stop down right there, that is the lane

548
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: that never shut up has taken that I didn't think

549
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: was even on the freeway. Right, there are a few

550
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: lanes right. My first lane is, look, let's just come

551
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: in here and discuss, not debate. Another lane is let's

552
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: come in here and unlearn or learn based on the truth. Right.

553
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: We all got told some bs. We all got I

554
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: got told bs too. Oh. All the kids in the

555
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: hood are the hungriest, and the ones who ain't got

556
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: it are the ones who wanted the most. Man They line,

557
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: they line, they ass off. Go. I got to Columbia,

558
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: I got to the league, I got to Peyton Manning,

559
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: who had money already up. The suckers wanted more than me, like,

560
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: let me go get this so stop. So the point

561
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: is we got several lanes here, but one of the

562
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: lanes that opened up was to cover those who cover sports,

563
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: why because they ain't covering sports the way we all

564
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: want it. Too many times happened last night. Two guys,

565
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm walking in shout out to who y'all were, or

566
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: walking in Marcello's. I was just listening to you, man,

567
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: thank you for saying the stuff you're saying and correcting

568
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: this stuff, and I was like, yeah, man, facts, it's

569
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: just truth, you know. Point being a lot of y'all

570
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: are in these quiet, silent you know, majority but silent

571
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: majority conversations are like, dog, this ain't how I want

572
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: even my sports. I don't want nobody yelling and clowning

573
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: and complaining, Like, just give me sports, bruh and make

574
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: it fun and entertaining. So we're here for that. Levatard

575
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: has noticed that you guys are here for that because

576
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: it is a silent majority out there. Every time I

577
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: talk about the inner workings of the industry sports media,

578
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I talk about the personalities y'all talk about Steven A,

579
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: Skip Lebatar, Max I, Choke, Wetlock, Carrie, y'all, the numbers

580
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: go up, and it's funny some of y'all try to

581
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 1: flip it on Dan LeBatard try to flip it on

582
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: us and say, well, y'all, why y'all always talking about them?

583
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: That's the only time y'all get clicks. Well, that ain't

584
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: on me. I have a story on Ryan Leaf. I

585
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: have a story talking about, uh, the NFL being racist.

586
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Click on it, my thing. I give you the buffet.

587
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: It's just y'all like the chicken. Don't be mad at me.

588
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Y'all won't chicken. I get it. It's bacon over there too,

589
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: But y'all ain't clicking on it. Lebtar talks about that,

590
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: so he knows that despite the complaints about discussing these topics,

591
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: the audiences interest in industry dynamics is consistently high. He

592
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: ain't lying. I see the same thing over here, despite

593
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: having all these other topics that I think are interesting,

594
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: deep we can learn life lessons, y'all. Like, Nah, I

595
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: want that car crash over there between Shannon and Skip.

596
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Whatever that is, I ain't

597
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: mad at it. I do too. So Levatard deals into

598
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: the ongoing feud between Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless,

599
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: which has been reignited, obviously by Shannon Sharp. Moving from

600
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: Billyless's undisputed to over there with Stephen A. On first take.

601
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: So Levatard makes a bold assertion. He claims that Stephen A.

602
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: Smith wants to end thento Skip Bayless's career in the

603
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: media industry. Stephen A. Smith wants to end Skip Bayless's career.

604
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: That's a quote. Okay, let's see about that. Let's talk

605
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: about that. So he highlights that Smith's rides at ESPN

606
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: surpassed Bayless's and made him one of the most powerful

607
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: figures at the network. Facts, it was Bayless who put

608
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: first take on the MAC quote, but it was Smith

609
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: who took this show to another level quote. Levatard also

610
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: discusses the impact of Shannon Sharp and his transition in

611
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: the ESPN, knowing that Sharp's individual brand strength has grown significantly.

612
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: Here's another quote before we get into it. I'm gonna

613
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: tell y'all what it is. Shannon Sharpe is more valuable

614
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: to Skip at this point than Skip is to Shannon. Now,

615
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Shannon is an individual entity. Ah yeah. He did say

616
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: that when he was with it, when they were having

617
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: their little beef and everybody was talking about it. He

618
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: was like, Shannon is a bigger force than Skip and

619
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: the numbers now since his departure supported Okay, there's been

620
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: a bump at first, take plateaued if not taking the

621
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: dip over there undisputed right, So that is an interesting assertion.

622
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Here we go his last point, Levatar's assertion about Smith's

623
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: intentions to ends Bayless's career. People are questioning how accurate

624
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: that is or is it just part of the professional

625
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: rivalry between the two media personalities. All right, let me

626
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: take y'all through this. Okay, to me, this is like

627
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: another version with the core of it kind of like

628
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: that Kobe Shack feud. Remember they had their issues when

629
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 1: they were teammates for the Lakers, and remember they didn't

630
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: win at first when they both were there, but then

631
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: they ended up winning, and then they couldn't stop winning,

632
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: and then they couldn't stay together. Detroy said something about

633
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: that too. So here's the thing, Kobe Shaq. At the

634
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: core of it was who is the man who's the

635
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: alpha of us? We're both outphas, but who's the alpha alpha?

636
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: Now by the numbers, by the metrics, by the accolades,

637
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: it was Shaquille O'Neill. But the caveat was, well, look

638
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: Kobe's younger than you. He's a ny bitty So yeah,

639
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: Shaq is sh you the big dog. So Kobe went

640
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: on a mission to win without Shaq, to the point

641
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: where when he won his fourth one, we all saw

642
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: a different reaction out of Kobe because he got one

643
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: without Shaq ended up getting two without Shaq. Right. We

644
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: also saw the Shack's reaction when he got one without

645
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: Kobe with Wade. Right, So, let's not act like this

646
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: is not a thing. Let's not act like Skip Bayless

647
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: and Stephen A. Smith separated, ain't trying to get it

648
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 1: on each other. They've said it, and they've said it

649
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: in a lighthearted way. They provided levity, but they're also

650
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: deeply invested in this. Let's be real. Now, you don't

651
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: hear it as much from Skip. People will say, well,

652
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: because Skip ain't tripping like that. No, he tripping like that.

653
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: He just can't say anything like that right now. That's

654
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: where he is. You know, he can't wolf, he can't bark,

655
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: He ain't got it right now. He knows that his

656
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: ratings don't have the bite of what first take. Has

657
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: so quiet over there for one reason, maybe that's his demeanor,

658
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: but that ain't his demeanor. His demeanor is the fact

659
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: that I can't say anything, So why say anything at all?

660
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: So if you look at this, how's this a Kobe

661
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: shack but a different version? Because they were winning, even

662
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: though there were some dark times Cody, then they were

663
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: figuring it out. They were winning with Skip Bayless, with

664
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith and Stiff Battis, they really were winning.

665
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: Then Skip Leaves gets all that money, couldn't come to

666
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: terms with ESPN, goals to start FS one gets there,

667
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: Cracking gets all that money first man in him and

668
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: Colin Coward, and then you look over as everyone does,

669
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: and you look over see what First Take doing. Well,

670
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: they went and got max and they became number one.

671
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: Still number one, I should say, still number one? What what? What?

672
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: Y'all know where that's from. So now you're looking like,

673
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: all right, let's close the gap. We are upstart network,

674
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: we are just starting FS one. Let's get this thing.

675
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: Just close the gap. They ain't really close the gap

676
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: with Shennon. It was somewhat. They still were almost half

677
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: a first take. First Take is into four hundreds or

678
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 1: so at the time, three four hundred. It's that world

679
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: and undisputed as the ones and twos. But yeah, but

680
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't as wide as it is now because now

681
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: they have Shannon and they have Stephen A. Smith. Now

682
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: the gap is even wider. Why is this Kobe Shaq?

683
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: Because they're both looking at each other. Who gonna get

684
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: it without the other one? Right? And it looks like

685
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith is winning that one. He's becoming the

686
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: Kobe of it, I guess because Kobe got more wins

687
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: without Shack than Shaq got without Kobe. Crazy, right, even

688
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: though Shak's a better player. Let me stop, So here

689
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: we go. The thing is, I look at this in totality.

690
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: I know y'all gonna beat up that whole Kobe Shack thing.

691
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: I know. I can already see y'all like, what Shaq

692
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: better than Kobe? For me? Yes? For you? Yes too,

693
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: if you're being real respect All right, So Stevin A

694
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Smith now is the king, but Skip Bayless is the Godfather.

695
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 1: And but we're really talking about right here, Dan LeBatard

696
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: is saying Steven A. Smith ain't happy just being the king.

697
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: He wants it all now, Jordan mindset comes to play

698
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 1: when I hear Steven A Smith he loves Michael Jordan.

699
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna adopt this mindset if I want

700
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: it all, like Michael Jordan too. And I think that's

701
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: what's fueling Dan's statement. And I think that's what's fuel

702
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: and Stephen A. Smith, and I think that's why Shannon

703
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: Sharp is there. I think that's why Steven A. Smith

704
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: got that ensemble of gumbo like that, and SKIP had

705
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: to get what ESPN didn't have anymore. Michael Irvin was

706
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: at ESPN no longer, Keishan there no longer. I ain't

707
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna say like castaways. I don't like saying like that

708
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: because I played ball. You know, you play on different teams.

709
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: It's all the league. But they not there anymore, and

710
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: ESPN could have kept them. They like, we're good and

711
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: then they are still improving with people that they're letting go.

712
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: That this team over there undisputed needs to close the

713
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: gap and can't close the gap and getting the players

714
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: that they don't want who So how do they close

715
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 1: the gap over there FS one undisputed? That's an interesting question.

716
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: Tell me for real beat it up in the comments.

717
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: Also tell me this is Stephen A. Smith really gonna

718
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: get it all? Like? Or is this just gonna always

719
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: be you the king here, the godfather. You can't have

720
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: it all like we got to always have this healthy respect.

721
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: Or is he really like Dan said, gonna end skip

722
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: Bayless's career. Y'all think that can happen. Ah, it's crazy

723
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: out here in these streets. My only other takeaway from

724
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: this is simple. They're just captivating because for so long

725
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: everybody was taking their words as gospel. You gotta remember

726
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: how this all started. Right now, I'm not gonna go

727
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: all the way back to tape delay, basketball in black

728
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: and white, NFL AFL, but there was a time where

729
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: there were only so few outlets that would cover the game.

730
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: You know. We used to watch Sports Center, you know,

731
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: used to see that you only had that, you only

732
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: had that, and then all of a sudden you got

733
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: NFL Live and that, but you're at work or you

734
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: ain't watching it like that. We can't do on demand

735
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: and have YouTube, you know, And then we grow into

736
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: a wow, you can do it when you want to

737
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: on demand and live, and then now you catch it

738
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: and now you know all these personalities and there was

739
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: a time where they were not challenged because we were

740
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: told as active players to not challenge the media. Why

741
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: because they have the microphone, they will get the last word,

742
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: they control the narrative, They will be able to say

743
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: anything and it will be deemed as gospel. I played

744
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: through that era, so you had to be nicer to

745
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: a media member than you even wanted to because you

746
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: knew he can write you up or say whatever he

747
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: wanted or she wanted too. So you sitting there like, damn,

748
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: I gotta really gotta present myself like it's a job interview,

749
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: just doing media relations, and then with the Internet, and

750
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: then with YouTube, and then with independent creators, and then

751
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the taboo got off. There was

752
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: a stigma in taboo about doing sports media. I remember

753
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: having a conversation with Magic Johnson and one day he

754
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: was Marcel's always talk, always do sports, Always do sports media.

755
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: It's a commercial for everything he does, and it would

756
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: be a commercial for everything I do. And I was like,

757
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: you're right, cause I was gonna give it up. There's

758
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 1: times I wanted to give it up. Even my last

759
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to give it up because I'm like, I

760
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: want to do it. I'm not arguing over the Jets

761
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: winning by three, Like you know what I mean? I'm

762
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: fifty years old, almost like, stop, it's corny. Then I

763
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: was like, oh, but I got other things. I want

764
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: to help in the community project transition. Oh, I want

765
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: to talk about it deeper, and I want to talk

766
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: about different lanes, and I want to actually talk about

767
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: life intersecting with sports. I want to coach. I want

768
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: to talk about coaching. So I was like, ah, you're right,

769
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: I just gonna shift this, but I'm not the only

770
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: one shifting this independent creators. And then the stigma that

771
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: was on doing sports media because if you did that, oh,

772
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: you spend all your money. Why you all traveling the

773
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: country talking about sports? Then you just play. Don't you

774
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: want to sit back and chill and golf and just

775
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: party and hang with pretty girls. Ain't you retired? What

776
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: you doing? And then Maggic Johnson took some of that

777
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: stigma off. He had all that money and he was

778
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: doing everybody like, well, you ain't gotta be broke to

779
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: do it, and then they start paying us and then

780
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: next thing you know, we out there getting it. Next

781
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: thing you know, they create stars off of you playing

782
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: and off of you talking about players, Like what I

783
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: am way more recognizable from sports media than I am

784
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: for my football career. I can't even find highlights of

785
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: my football career. And it ain't because I ain't have any,

786
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: damnit it because I'm before the internet. Let me start. Nah,

787
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: it ain't that it's just Dusty back then. It's a

788
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: few of them, but it ain't enough. So the point

789
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: is everything shifted now. These independent creators, they shifted it

790
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: because they were coming, authentic, coming, real tank tops whatever McAfee's.

791
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: And then former players became independent creators. McAfee everybody behind him.

792
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: And then you got podcast p now active players. You

793
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: got guys like Jerymond Green out there, you got me.

794
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: Now you got sports media guys doing the same thing.

795
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: And it's just snowballing to the point of where we

796
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: are in this conversation. Steven A. Smith, you know skip

797
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: seventy one people saying he on his last legs, saying, hey,

798
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: the show ratings is showing your podcast numbers and showing

799
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: people ain't really rocking with you. Your best days are behind you,

800
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: like you treat them athletes. You an athlete. Right now,

801
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: you out your prime. Stephen A. Smith is still in

802
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: his prime. People ain't liking necessarily all the things he's saying,

803
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: and how you go about things. You know, when he

804
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: out there lying on Max, that's real when he coming

805
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: at too, but to came at him, So I really

806
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: don't have a dog in that fight, even though too

807
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: my boy, more than Stephen A is. Still they got

808
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: to work that out some of these things. You know,

809
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot of things like that. But the point

810
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: is there's just more competition. And you can see the

811
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: competition even between Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless at

812
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: the top. But in that pyramid of success, I always

813
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: tell my idy biddies, you get to the top, ain't

814
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: that much room and ain't that many people? So guess what,

815
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: everybody else is trying to get up there too. So

816
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: to keep your power position, you're gonna have to keep

817
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: flexing your power, do your words, through your actions, and

818
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: sometimes just reminding people where you really are. So let

819
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: me know what y'all think about this whole dynamic, because

820
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: I see it's shifting, right. I see Stephen A. If

821
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: Dan Levittard's right trying to knock Skip down, and as

822
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: he knocks Skips down, Skip going out to try and

823
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: knock somebody else down. But then it's independence out there

824
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: it's people like me. It's people like McAfee, like, I'm

825
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: climbing up. So now, Skip, you can't pecking on the

826
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: bcs of this all. Stephen ain't number one, right, who's

827
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: number two? Used to be Skip Bayless? Now it's Colin

828
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: Coward or no, it's Pat McAfee, right, who's number three?

829
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: That's where the game is, man, Let's compete, baby. Ain't

830
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: nothing like a little healthy competition. So down there, son, Hey,

831
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: I hate that when you're not close to hitting somebody,

832
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: but they just so damn scary that they think you're

833
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna get Hey, buddy, buddy, you're like you are on

834
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,080

852
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: Chanlah Jones, Channel Jones, Challenge Jones, Trendler Jones is out here,

853
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: tripper go. He might have a little issue right here,

854
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: all right, little Bernie mack Love. All right, so we

855
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: know he is a beast. First of all, let's just

856
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: get that out the way. Chandler Jones was a beast.

857
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: What of a career he had. I don't know if

858
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna continue, but right now not looking too good.

859
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Chandler Jones. Let's just get that out

860
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: the way. Let's see if he is. I think the

861
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: numbers are gonna add up to something like that. All right,

862
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: So he's a d N for the LAS Vegas Raiders

863
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: loosely saying that right now, been involved in a series

864
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: of strange, as they say, in concerning social media posts

865
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: over the past few weeks. Now, yeah, this kind of

866
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: goes back. If you want to go really deep into

867
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: the rabbit hole, you go back to New England. There

868
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: were some moments there too as well. Not a mental

869
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: health therapist, y'all know my stance on mental health as well.

870
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: I have a general stance, and I don't want to

871
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: be general in this specific situation. But let's talk through

872
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: it and see if we can get to the bottom

873
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: of this. So for everyone saying, quote, get well, I'm

874
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: very well, ask the low lifes. Lol, sorry Adam talking

875
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: about Adam Schefter. So that was one of the tweets

876
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: out there because Jones his frustration expressed on the Instagram

877
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: we've been seeing because of the Raiders holding them out

878
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: of practice on September sixth for what was described at

879
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: that time as a personal and private matter. So that's

880
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: basically now you look back, it's the Raiders taking cover

881
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: for him, giving them cover to let them deal with

882
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: these issues. All right. So he continued to make some

883
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: interesting posts on Instagram and Twitter, including a crisis Response

884
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: team post. Remember we talked about that text exchanges with

885
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: head coach Josh McDaniels and claims of being involuntarily committed

886
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: to a mental health facility. Quote, Josh McDaniels had my

887
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: twin Aaron Hernandez killed at Industrial Park, not in jail.

888
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: That's one of his posts, right, there is enough for

889
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: me to say something ain't going right. I don't know

890
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't know how I left it is,

891
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 1: but it ain't going right. So in his latest post,

892
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: Jones accused McDaniel's a killing former NFL player Aaron Hernandez.

893
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: I just read a claim that raises the concerns as

894
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: I said about his well being. He's going at Adam Schefters.

895
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: We talked about RG three, told him to pray for him,

896
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: but also talk to him. He said, Also, Bro, you

897
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 1: washed up RG such and such sit down. I'm still

898
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 1: in the league. You twitter fingers? Okay, what's going on

899
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: with my man? Challeng Chala Jones? All right? Do we

900
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: think he's okay? I don't think most people say he's okay.

901
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: So why is Chanlah Jones in this situation? And what

902
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: is he dealing with? The cry for help? The need

903
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: for help is different than the cry for help. I

904
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: always remember that. Okay, lot of times we need help. Shoot,

905
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: I could think about needing help through the weakest times

906
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 1: of my life, my mother's death, needing help, right, But

907
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: the cry for help is a whole different animal, because

908
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: the cry for help is a different level of desperation

909
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: because now you feel that inner suffering such to a

910
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: degree that that hurt is now having to be expressed,

911
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: and with some intention to hurt others. You ever see

912
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: on the news, you see somebody, You see it all

913
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: the time, right, murder, murder, murder, murder, suicide. There's a

914
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: difference between needing help. A lot of people need help,

915
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: they don't go to those limits. And then some people

916
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: cry out for help and they show it, and they

917
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: are only showing it because they want you to take

918
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: notice and attention to their level of pain. And then

919
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: once they feel that you are taking attention and notice

920
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: of it, guess how they flip it that you ain't

921
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: helping them, that you ain't doing enough. Oh what the

922
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 1: hell you talking about? And when that occurs, it triggers

923
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: them even more so, right, because they threw the rope

924
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: that you didn't catch or they threw the rope and

925
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: try to hang you with it. We're gonna have to

926
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: figure this one out because I don't know who what

927
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: and I look if challenge on't attacks me, trust me,

928
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm concerned because these these tweets, these Instagram

929
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty five minute Instagram live videos, you gotta watch it

930
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: for yourself to know what I'm talking about. Not just

931
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: because he's a great football player when he was out there,

932
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: not because he's in the NFL, but because he is

933
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: actually telling us something's not right and we need to

934
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: do something about it. You know, being a guy who's

935
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: had teammates and have lost their life committed suicide, as

936
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: you guys know Junior Seal or others and teammates that

937
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: have lost their life, you gotta still respect that it's

938
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: still a team game. So my deeper interest in this

939
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: is to see what is going on and what's really

940
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: wrong with him, because I don't want the Raiders to

941
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: be in this position where he's not playing for us.

942
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,439
Speaker 1: We've tried to take care and we try to look

943
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: out for him, and now just discard him. Because when

944
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: you start crying out for help, you start calling for attention,

945
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: for help you want that call answer. Matter of fact,

946
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: most of the times they need or will mandate that

947
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: call be answered. So let's just look through that, and

948
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: you guys tell me what's going on, because I know

949
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: you guys have done a deeper dive on this, because

950
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: none of us as smart as all of us. So

951
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: I'm just one guy. Tell me what's going on with

952
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: this Channel Jones situation very concerning to me. All right, y'all,

953
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 1: let's funk up some comics. Funk up some comics. Yeah,

954
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, gotta be Chris Simms. What you over here

955
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: talking about, Chris Simps, Chris Sims. Let me flip this

956
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: around and make it easier to read. All right, Probably

957
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said kill, but real football fans understand what

958
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: he's saying, and I actually agree with his solution. The

959
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: play is virtually unstoppable, especially when you got a guy,

960
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback squad and six hundred pounds. You can't defend it. Okay,

961
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: you can't defend it. Does that mean you want to

962
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: kill him? Nah? I didn't take kill literally. I didn't

963
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: take kill figuratively in a sensitive way. But I am

964
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: deeply entrenched in the game of football, and I don't

965
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: have those sensibilities. But as you got to remember, every

966
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: day you introduce them football to somebody else, do you

967
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: want to introduce them in that way? I don't care. Me,

968
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't care, but people do care. So do I

969
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: care enough that I'm gonna fight those who do care?

970
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: You ever been to that argument? You're like, I don't

971
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: give a damn Well I do? Okay, Well, then go,

972
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: You're like I feel like that on this one. All

973
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: right to me? That just sounded like my locker room

974
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: in college. Hell yeah, my locker room in high school.

975
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: I get most people don'tunerstand how players actually talk, but

976
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: it's definitely not nice to each other. No matter of fact.

977
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: I want my son in part to play football so

978
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: he can learn it ain't all peaches and cream. Baby,

979
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: you go through football. Oh you look at life like

980
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: life ain't as hard as I thought it was, because

981
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: that football was harder. It was. Hell, I had triple

982
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: day practices before I got doll cursed by grown ass men.

983
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: And then I get to the league and get doll

984
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: cursed by a young man who's younger than me. But

985
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: since he on the coach and got the title, I

986
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: gotta say yes. Coach, and I'm making more to him,

987
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: and I'm older than him. It felt like, man, I

988
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: got striped food. What you ain't playing at this level? Honey?

989
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: Football teaching, football, teach you. We all in this together.

990
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: I won't give a damn how good you are, d n.

991
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: Good luck trying to get a sack. If the cornerback

992
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: ain't gonna hold up his coverage responsibilities, good luck in

993
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: the sack. If the quarterback is gonna just dump it off,

994
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: you need it all the work together for it to work.

995
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 1: I learned that in football. Nowhere else for NFL. Viewers

996
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: who played organized football from peewee to pro level understand

997
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,439
Speaker 1: the terminologies and slang. The problem is with the casual fans.

998
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: You're right, they don't get locker room culture. NFL and

999
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 1: media should educate the casuals on the terminology so people

1000
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: aren't taking it literally. It's no different than in baseball,

1001
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: strikeout is called a K, which is short for kill,

1002
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: which started with mess legendary pitcher Dwight dot K. Gooding.

1003
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: That's been a known except the baseball term since the eighties.

1004
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: I like what you just said that you broke that down.

1005
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: You imagine the first day of class for the casuals.

1006
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: All right, everyone got around. We about to talk about

1007
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: killing somebody out here, but we don't mean killing them.

1008
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: We mean whooping aam right, oh whooping that a all right?

1009
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: Whoop that trick like all that? All right? Aaron Rodgers

1010
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: regarding mister Aaron Rodgers talk about a backseat one leg

1011
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: quarterback aka the Jolly Rogers. She's mister Rogers. Be a

1012
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: good neighbor and just stop pontificating. If you are not

1013
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: in a position to solve the problem, please consider measuring

1014
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: your responses makes sense, and until your health focused on

1015
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: word o puzzles and maybe some majong or pigal, just relaxed,

1016
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: get healthy and show us what you still have in

1017
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 1: the tang. Damn brot the hell out of that damn comment.

1018
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,439
Speaker 1: Can't lie. There's a part of me that here's look

1019
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: if my teammate hurt and he at the crib, I'm listening,

1020
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: but don't talk too much. That part I don't give

1021
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: a damn who you are. That part I'm out here sweating, hommy,

1022
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: you ain't. Aaron is checking what is is still his team?

1023
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: Aaron is checking what is still his team? Okay, shows

1024
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: how much he cares, he could say effort and take

1025
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: all those special things that make Pang go away. Now,

1026
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: as far as I know, this is his first time

1027
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: publicly checking him. See, I see both sides of this one,

1028
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: and that's real. I'm glad he cares. It's just a

1029
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: measured response. You just can't go all in from the couch.

1030
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: You can't not from the training table. Dan is upset

1031
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: because a mean was wrong media sabotage from yesterday. Let's

1032
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: be honest, Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro wasn't good enough,

1033
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be enough, bascially considering Duncan Robinson spent much

1034
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: of the year not playing because he was awful and

1035
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: couldn't defend. Yeah, that that ain't it. They asked for

1036
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler too, So you know if you say, na

1037
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: I ain't got Jimmy Butler but Duncan Robinson, they like

1038
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: you ain't serious by no trade. People keep forgetting in

1039
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: disregarding that this is a three way deal. Even if

1040
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: Portland and Miami have agreed, they need to convince that

1041
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: third team too, and that third team didn't want any

1042
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: of those offers. Also, Portland won and jah Quez as

1043
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: well on top of the offer, but Miami didn't want

1044
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: to include him. Yeah, they were talking about Bam or

1045
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, And if you ain't saying that, then I

1046
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: don't want to hear nothing else. Media been doing doing

1047
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: this and unusually can I read? Media been doing this,

1048
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: and usually it's to facilitate the trade for the player.

1049
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: How long was Anthony Davis a Laker before he was

1050
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: actually a Laker? Or Kawhi Leonard before going to the

1051
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: Clippers or Harden with the Nets. Media picks and chooses. Interesting.

1052
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: I think we're all tired of seeing stars bully franchises

1053
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: and continually get what they want. So they stuck it

1054
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: out and got a big out of the deal first

1055
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: and whatever they flip drew for. It is interesting that

00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,479
Speaker 1: He cuts, He cuts so deep. You go through things

1082
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: in life, right, everybody does. It's just the way it's

1083
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: set up. It's the hurdles, baby. I told y'all, do

1084
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: not think you running the one hundred in life? You

1085
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: running the one ten hurdles at minimum, maybe the four

1086
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: hundred hurdles. Right, Gotta go around this thing one time.

1087
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: Hurdles everywhere. But when you run into that adversity, you

1088
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: have that altercation with adversity. It's a speed bump, it's

1089
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: a hurdle. Get over it, get through it. Learn the technique.

1090
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: There's a proper technique to do it. You want to

1091
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: see it. It goes like this. I used to run

1092
00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: the hurdles. Yeah. Ow that hurt my hamstring. Yeah ah.

1093
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: You go like this and you dip, you get you

1094
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: run over them hurdles. Coach he'd be like, run over

1095
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: them hurdles, boy, I'm like, damn all right, and then

1096
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna what you're gonna do? Fall, clip them trip,

1097
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: get up, keep running. It's time to go. Then you

1098
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: learn that form of how to get over those hurdles.

1099
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: So then to a point, you're never gonna run as

1100
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: fast as you can if they're no hurdles, right, But

1101
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,959
Speaker 1: when you get over those hurdles with precision, you run

1102
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: a fish in effective way and effective race. That's life.

1103
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. A lot of times cast see

1104
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: a hurdle. You ever see that. You ever see somebody

1105
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: who never ran over a hurdle. You're going to the

1106
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: track with the homie and somebody or just it canna

1107
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: be a fence. I love it. I used to hop

1108
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: fences when I was little, Not like like go in

1109
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: there and rob somebody. What up, homie? Like nah, Just

1110
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: like I see a fence four feet five feet not

1111
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: six feet five feet, I'm hitting that fence. At at

1112
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: worst I'm gonna put my foot on top of that

1113
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: fence and hop over. But most time I'm just gonna

1114
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: hurdle it jumping. I was a kid. I just to

1115
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: jump over cars sideways all day. You ever see somebody

1116
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: who can't do that and they think they can and

1117
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: they run up to the fence and they go who

1118
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: and they grabbed the top of the fence like oohoo.

1119
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: I was almost gonna kill myself because they don't know

1120
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: how to get over those hurdles. They just turned that hurdle.

1121
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: They just turned that fence into a roadblock. You'll learn,

1122
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: whether you have the gift or not, you can still learn.

1123
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: You can steal all of a sudden acquire the talents

1124
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: and skills necessary to one day get over that. It's amazing.

1125
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: My son, he has this airplane in his room, one

1126
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: of them little eleven ninety nine airplanes you get at

1127
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:46,000

1130
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: he couldn't turn it on, and caldn't do nothing. I

1131
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: have to do it all now. Suck over there. It's life, man.

1132
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,440

1133
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: know that. All right. This is part of the progression.

1134
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: But if you have intent, focused and attention to it,

1135
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: you will overcome that. So that's all I want to
