15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Give me something that people don't know about LA, or

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: that's something that you gotta be from LA for people

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: to know, whether it's the vibe or whether it's like

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: the people parties or whatever it is.

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: Like, what's what's something people don't know?

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 3: One thing people they may know or may not know

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: is the hoodie shorts combo. And I'm gonna just start there.

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: That's probably the most Like if you see somebody with

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: a hoodie and some shorts on from LA.

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: That's a fact.

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: And you just it's because the weather is. You know,

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: it's hot during the day, it's gonna get cold at night.

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: And you know it's always a hoodie, always comfortable.

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Ain't gonna like you need to figure it out because

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: it's it's either the hoodie or the shorts of teacher.

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: It can't like the weather is already too crazy, y'all

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: gotta fire. I can't tell like if I'm inside and

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,240

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: hoodie and shorts, I don't know how to dress now.

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: See, it's more about the is it cold. The hoodie

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: is about the ears, Okay, you know what I'm saying.

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: The hoodie is strictly to cover the ears if you

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: get cold. And the shorts, you know you don't want

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: to be too hot.

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,200

40
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,800

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: is the you're wearing. The LA looks for accident. I

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: ain't even you know what I'm saying. That's just I know,

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,440

00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: The blood if it's snowing, if it's raining, if it's

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: hot shorts in the hoodie.

47
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: the hoodie.

48
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: So so, I'm from the New Jersey, New York area,

49
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: right like, and I still when i became a player

50
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: for the Giants and I'm moving around the city, I

51
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: remember like going to Knicks games and like John Starks

52
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and Alan Houston and even Patrick Ewing, like different guys

53
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: coming up to me recognizing me, having these moments. What

54
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: has been like your New York kind of moment that

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: you've had thus far, whether it be another player recognizing

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: you or just walking around the street almost getting hit

57
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: by a cab, Like, what what's the New York moment

58
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: for you?

59
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 3: The New York Man, people argue on the phone a lot.

60
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: That's like one thing you never I never see anywhere else.

61
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: I've been people just walking down the street just hammering

62
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: whoever's on the phone, like they have no regard for

63
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: anything else going on. But I would say that, and

64
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: then I would say, from the like Hollywood perspective, you know,

65
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: comparing it to LA, it's.

66
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Hard to find celebrities in LA. You know, it's kind

67
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: of like you don't see them, you know, you don't

68
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: You're never a lot of people are walking around in LA.

69
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: I never see it.

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: But here it's like you go to a you know,

71
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: a Knicks game, or you go to anything, it's like, oh,

72
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: everybody is just you know, out and about.

73
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: So it's like it's a little different culture.

74
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's just like Andred three thousand and just be

75
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: walking around playing like a ukulele. Chris Rock could just

76
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: be moving around like it is true. That is true

77
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: about New York, that celebrities just be moving around wherever.

78
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: What's your favorite see.

79
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,120

00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love restaurants. I love even just the vibe.

81
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes I go to restaurants just have a drink. You

82
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: already know, Like, what's your favorite restaurants in New Jersey,

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: New York or both?

00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: Either it doesn't matter, like what's.

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: New York and comparing it to LA again because now

86
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: you've got it on my mind. Okay, New York got

87
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 3: us some food, right? LA is a melting pot, I'll

88
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: be honest, but like, there aren't really many options in

89
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: New York. I'm talking about you could eat, you could

90
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: be in a different country, you know, every.

91
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: Other block, every other day. So just like.

92
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: Food in general, I'm a big sushi guy in Jersey.

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: It's this place Blue on the Hudson. Oh yeah, of course,

94
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: come on course get dressed. That's going on the views

95
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: that they opened a little rooftop part I heard, So

96
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: that's gonna be dope. Shout out to them and another place,

97
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: I would say in the city.

98
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: So many to choose from. Man, you know, I went.

99
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: I went to Four Charles once, man, and that's pretty good.

100
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: And that's like I heard, it's hard to get into.

101
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: I kind of went that, you.

102
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

103
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: I kind of got a different type of time to

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: get into Four Trials. Okay, so I even haven't been

105
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: to Four Charles yet, mainly because I don't really do

106
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the steak thing like that. I know it's a big

107
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: steak spot, but what's the vibe? And I always wanted

108
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: to know vibe.

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: It's zero vibe. It's not zero vibe. It's just food.

110
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: It's just like sitting down this Yeah, yeah, you gotta

111
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: be more mature. It's more of a mature place. That's

112
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: New York. Super intimate. It's not thing.

113
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: It's probably like eight seats or something like that, super

114
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: one party, super small, so super intimate.

115
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: You know when I went.

116
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: It was an event, like a private event, so the

117
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: people there were you know, I guess of the same demographic,

118
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: but I would assume it's like an older place where

119
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: you know, older people going.

120
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,760

Speaker 1: switching it back to the next now called Anthony Towns,

158
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Oh Jersey guy, By the way, it happened, that happened.

159
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel real locy that Okay. So now I'm

160
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: sad Devincenzo had to go. He's a guy that's, you know,

161
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: created a little bit of historic moments and has some

162
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: some history with the with the Nakes. Of course, great shooter.

163
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna do great in Minnesota. But we gotta call

164
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns before you even all start talent.

165
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: Before you even get in a cat.

166
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: I think you gotta, like, you have to make it

167
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: relevant that your brunton gave up all that money.

168
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: Oh yes, we gotta. Let's just gotta pay that respect baseline.

169
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: That's just before you even think about it and.

170
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Shout out to him because he could have he could

171
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: have hit him over the head and gotten real money.

172
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Because he not just because he deserved it. Come on,

173
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: he get deserved it too. The things he's done in

174
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: this town. He really embodies like a lunch pal, you know,

175
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: type of guy in this city, and he's really in

176
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: the city has embraced him as a leader here and

177
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: call Anthony Towns. Is gonna bring a different level. Just

178
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: give me your thoughts on what these Nick games gonna

179
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: look like. You know, I'm in the building. We gotta

180
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: go to one together at some point and get the

181
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: energy going. Like, talk to me about the Knicks this year.

182
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I am excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. I

183
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: think they're gonna do great things. How I was there

184
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: at that last game when they lost. I mean they

185
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: laid it on the line.

186
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: You know.

187
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: I think the thing with sports, it always comes down to,

188
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: you know, the final moments, and you know how many

189
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: guys are healthy. I know Julius Randall was out. You

190
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: know they're missing some guys. But talk about the heart

191
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: and the passion they give to the game. I mean,

192
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: the sky's the limit. Now you add another piece. You

193
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: got to build that team chemistry, you know. I think

194
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: that's probably gonna be the only concern. It's just like,

195
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: you know, you gots a more all star guys, so

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: just creating that cohesion, and I think it's gonna be great.

197
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, big time. I'm excited for it too, mainly because

198
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: it's like they making real big boy moves, you know

199
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like this is a big boy we

200
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: want to make it to the finals. We're one step

201
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: away type of move. But I just want to clearse it.

202
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: You are a Laker fan, I'm a I'm a Laker fan.

203
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: I'm a Knicks fan.

204
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: Okay, take your time. I'm a Knicks fan. Okay, you

205
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Get it.

206
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: But in the blood you got Brin with his son

207
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: come on, you got junior throwing it up the pops

208
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: like he.

209
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: Just the thought of it.

210
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: I think we haven't seen this about Ken Griffy senior

211
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: and junior. We've seen it in other sports, and I

212
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: don't think we've really seen.

213
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: It as a real one level. It's a real one

214
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: in basketball in this day and age, in this time.

215
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Just give me your thoughts on like if that were you, what,

216
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: like just the emotion that you would have playing with

217
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: your son at the highest level.

218
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: First of all, So first, I'm young, so I'm thinking

219
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: about I'm playing with my dad first, and I'm like,

220
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: hold up, I was just watching the video, you know,

221
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: the video come out what he's telling Like, no, you

222
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: gotta you know, right here, take the shot.

223
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: Elbow, all right, pops, I got you. All right.

224
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: After a while, probably, you know, they definitely have to

225
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: have a talk before, you know, after the draft, like

226
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 3: all right, son, you know, I'm gonna let you do

227
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 3: your thing.

228
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm a cold you know, because here man now too,

229
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: like some parts of you has to kind of let

230
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: him just go out and be a man.

231
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: And then speaking of Lebron and his legacy, like you know,

232
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: he's in year tw he's probably hungry. He probably And

233
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: it's just like, bruh, how does he keep that hunger?

234
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Just talk to me about what you think about his

235
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: legacy and like everything that we've seen this far and

236
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: just where he is in his game today and.

237
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: He's still playing at a high level. He's like one

238
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: hundred years old.

239
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: Because it's it's for every true competitor, it's not the result,

240
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: it's the process. And when you see a guy like Lebron,

241
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: you it's Adams, it's right into your face. Like he's

242
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: not in love with being, you know, the greatest. He's

243
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: not in love with the legacy because he would have

244
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: been done already.

245
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: That's the case.

246
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: Like he's in love with the grind and the constant

247
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: opportunities he's given to continue to shine. So it's like, honestly,

248
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: I see him maybe playing another five, Like if Briannie

249
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: keep getting contracts, I don't see him, you know, stepping down,

250
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: because it's like you have the talent, you have everything

251
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: it takes. It's just like, you know, hell, it's an itch.

252
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: Speaking of legacy, what do you think about You're in

253
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: year three right now, You're doing some phenomenal things with

254
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: this team, this defense, you're leading the way in that

255
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: defensive room. Talk to me about how you think about

256
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: your legacy, how you're enjoying the process thus far, and

257
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: just like where you see yourself in the next ten years,

258
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Like what are you envision for Kavon Thibodeaux down the line.

259
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: When you think about legacy in you're early in it,

260
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 2: it's dark. You know, I hate to change that. That's real.

261
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: That's real. Legacy is dark in the beginning.

262
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: Man, like you don't really know how things are going

263
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: to end because it's such a there's so many variables,

264
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 3: and you know, you look at a guy and Geno Smith,

265
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: big shout out tim he's a great quarterback. But like

266
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 3: even a guy like him, he you had an amazing

267
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: comeback story. He's playing great ball and who knows what

268
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 3: he thought, you know, five years ago or however long ago,

269
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: Like damn, what is my legacy at this point?

270
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: You know?

271
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: Or even another guy like you know, Bryce Young, he's

272
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 3: in it's a dark space because you're a competitor and

273
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, this is the beginning. It's only the beginning,

274
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: but I don't know when it's over, and I have

275
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: to maximize my time to maximize the legacy, you know,

276
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: so super super kind of wade in the water type

277
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: thing where it's like, you know, you just got to

278
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: keep grinding. Even me, like I hadn't had the first

279
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: two years that I thought or that I hoped or

280
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: that I expected. But you continue to work, and it's like,

281
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,479
Speaker 3: as long as you fall in love with the process, you'll.

282
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: You know, eventually you'll you know, get to where you

283
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: want to be. That's a that's a real response, man.

284
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: I think when I was thinking about it early on,

285
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: I think I didn't you know, I was coming in

286
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: as an undrafted free agent, right, so I didn't have

287
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: time to think at all.

288
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: I had to just put one day after the other

289
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: and one foot after the other. Legacy was that next paycheck.

290
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: My legacy was.

Speaker 3: Then me, I kind of fast forward. There are a

311
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: lot of guys that are in there, but I fast forward.

312
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: I gotta go Von Miller.

313
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that. He's got to be in there.

314
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: I like that. Then you gotta go t J. Watt Man.

315
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 3: And that's just like on some today, you know, some

316
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: young generation type stuff and TJ whte.

317
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 2: I think, is you know doing some great JJ? You

318
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: JJ J Yeah, yeah, JJ. You know, just did not

319
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: think t J would be this good.

320
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: I did not think that TJ would have a career

321
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: that will rival even his brothers, you know what I mean?

322
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Because JJ was so JJ not I think about it.

323
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: You can't you can't give up that. But but I

324
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: will say that TJ is phenomenal.

325
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: But you go for twenty twenty halfs.

326
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, TJ is phenomenal. Let's be clear.

327
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: But again, I did not think that he would have

328
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: a career trajectory like like he's on pace to do

329
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: JJ like if not better type of things, you know

330
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like that in itself is like a

331
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: crazy thing. No, I like to switch gears to the

332
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: pregame entering the stadium vibe, I threw my I was

333
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, you kind of look like me a little

334
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: like take my shirt off because you had the Yeah,

335
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, I had to meet out with the joint,

336
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And the belly button was exposed.

337
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: I just go full case. I want to fair of

338
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: the viewers out there. I didn't want to go full kveon.

339
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Hey man, you look good, but I got to see

340
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: I got that. I got to prove as long as

341
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: you long as you feel good, it don't matter.

342
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: That's in fact. So what goes into the pregame looks?

343
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: Is it like?

344
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: Are the next four looks mapped out on the bed

345
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: for the next four four games.

346
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: So I only map them because it's chaos, takes the

347
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: thinking out of it. Yeah, it's chaos. No stylists, no stylists,

348
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: it's all me. But I go shopping, you know, off season.

349
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: You'll get some stuff and it's like, you know what,

350
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: that's nice. I want to save it. Do it like

351
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: that or then? And then when you get here, it's like,

352
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: all right, these are all the clothes I've bought, saved,

353
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: haven't worn. Let's thrown together and see what comes out

354
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: of it. Because I'm from l A. You know that's

355
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: what I know. You from New York and they y'arem saying,

356
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: y'all take it serious.

357
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: But so where do you think has the best has

358
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: the best style?

359
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: In New York and LA and you want to do

360
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: See New York people they okay with being uncomfortable before

361
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: they fit, you know what I'm saying.

362
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: Like you wearing boots, you wear you know what I'm saying, LA.

363
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: You'll never catch nobody in boots like it, just you know,

364
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: and that's just because of the weather. So when you talk,

365
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: we're wearing boots because it might snow, it might have

366
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: some problems. So here, I would definitely say I've worn

367
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: more stuff that I would never see myself wearing, like

368
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: Bell bottoms. Come on, you know what I'm saying. I

369
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: would never see myself wear bell bottoms, but I got

370
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: four pair.

371
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: Now, what's been your favorite look so far? Last year?

Speaker 2: Y'all can use that to nah?

377
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: But I would say my best fit I wore. I

378

Speaker 3: think I wore these who decides wore pants?

379

Speaker 2: Green? Remember that green? My rookie? I remember that green pants.

380
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: The rookie year was documenting every look that was on

381
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,160

00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Everybody's done it there now

407
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: you gotta wear your way exactly.

408
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of game day, do you have it? Are you superstitious?

409
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: You gotta need I used to wear I'm gonna give

410
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: you mine real quick. I used to wear I used

411
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: to wear the same sock. I used to double my

412
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: socks up on game day and I wore the same

413
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: pair of socks inside out, and I didn't wash them,

414
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: and I just kept them in their locker. It got

415
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: really quiet in here right now that I don't. I

416
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: know everybody's already quiet, but it got like deathly like

417
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: that one's even.

418
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: Really everybody, everybody in here.

419
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: It just got weird, feel how vicious.

420
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 3: I could hear them think he didn't because you know

421
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: what it is, you're such a superstar. Everybody forgets that.

422
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You come from humble beginnings,

423
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So like if I wasn't

424
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: in my NFL mind, I wouldn't.

425
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Because I had a great game. I had three touchdowns

426
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: as a pre in the sock. The socks absolutely played

427
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: a part. Okay, trading these socks. And so give me

428
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: your superstition, if any my superstition.

429
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: What do I have to do. I gotta pray before

430
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 3: I go out. You know that's just that's just simple.

431
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: You just get your time with God. You know what

432
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: I'm saying. You go out there.

433
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,320

00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: I know that's random, but I always read, like, yeah,

437
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: ten minutes, you know, ten minutes, ten pages reading.

438
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: Right now, right now I'm reading.

439
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: The Obscocles the Way, and basically great book is basically

440
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 3: just about turning adversity into advantage. And you know, the

441
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: great part is that, you know, you read ten pages,

442
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: you get like a daily dose of something positive to

443
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 3: keep pushing you forward. So you know, just to I

444
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 3: like to calm before the storm, you know, so read

445
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: ten minutes soon as I get there, then start.

446
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: The warm up. That's fire.

447
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely do even now every morning that courage

448
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: to do this. Every morning I try to take like

449
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to like meditate, even if it's just laying

450
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: in the bed. You don't got to be people then

451
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: you got to be up sitting up doing some weird

452
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: like posture or something. But like literally lay in the bed,

453
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: don't touch my phone, and then just take thirty minutes

454
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: to the process today, think about what you what's ahead

455
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: of you, what's carrying over to the future.

456
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: And it always kind of just kind of just sets

457
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: me right.

458
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: My question for that is, like how do you stay

459
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 3: awake because that's true, Like I try to get that

460
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: five minutes, like okay, I'm gonna wake up, close my

461
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: eyes and you.

462
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: Knocked back out And that's okay though.

463
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's okay though, as long as it's started with

464
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: the thought.

465
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: So what thought? And that's kind of my thing. And

466
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 3: I know this is not a meditation podcast. Get some

467
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: juice might as well. Yeah, as players in lounge, you.

468
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 2: Know, but how do you kind of or what do

469
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 2: you think about when you're trying to reach like that

470
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: calm or that medicine.

471
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So I sat with a guy who taught me

472
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: how to meditate, and he gave me a mantra and

473
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: it's more I won't do it here, but it's more

474
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: of a sound that you create that whatever it is

475
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: that you want to do, and when you're.

476
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 2: Quite, because I'm thinking of what sound I would make,

477
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm kind of.

478
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: That works whatever it is, right, and it's an internal sound.

479
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: You don't have to do it out loud obviously when

480
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: you're doing it, but it allows you to as the

481
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: more you do it, the more you'll see. It'll keep

482
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: you up and then it'll put you in thought and

483
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: then you realize you've got and then you go back like,

484
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: oh snap, I'm not even making the sound anymore. I've

485
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: thought about three different things.

486
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: That's the part where like people have told me like

487
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: I'm I don't even meditate because I'm sitting here for

488
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: two minutes, and I'm like, okay, so this is the plan.

489
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: I'm about to take over the world. Yes, I'm about

490
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: to run. I need ten sacks and I need thirty sacks.

491
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: Yes, And then you start to think about within that,

492
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: naturally you start to be like, Okay, how am I

493
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna do that? Okay, I'm gonna eat good today, I'm

494
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna go work out today. I'm gonna have a great practice.

495
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you know, I'm gonna take the necessary

496
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: steps down success before Sunday. And then and then you

497
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: start thinking about I'm gonna be a good son, I'm

498
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a good friend.

499
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 2: It starts to start with your whole and then your

500
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 2: whole life happens one piece, and then we can change

501
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: the subject after this.

502
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: But I threw out to my friends is that like

503
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I always try to

504
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: reflect the same kind of meditation where it's like I

505
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: reflect on how I interacted with people that day, you know,

506
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: just because like we sometimes forget that how we interact

507
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: with people is who we are, you know, So just

508
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: always trying to be mindful.

509
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: And lastly, because we could clearly we can go down

510
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole in this. Lastly, meditating will help you

511
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: handle situations the right way, Situations where you may have

512
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: been like loud or aggressive or responded in a way

513
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: that was like nah, forget that. Yeah, it'll be like, Okay,

514
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a minute to kind of process what

515
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: you're doing or what you're saying, and then I'm gonna

516
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: come with another response, like practicing brand exactly, just practicing

517
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: those things. We'll reconvene off Cameron. That's that's episode two.

518
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: So we'll chop that up. What's in the headphones right now? Man,

533
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,040

00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: listen to the same old songs. I would listen to

535
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,159

536
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600

541
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,240

Speaker 2: It's for me.

566
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: It's a reason for my family to come together, not

00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 3: just family or friends. It's like, you know, if I'm djaing,

571
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: It's the ultimate connector no matter what. So all right,

572
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a little game called blind ranking. I

573
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: want you to rank these one through five without obviously

574
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: knowing what's coming next, right, you know how, and then

575
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: you can't switch it, and you can't switch it?

576
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: Got it? Lock? I'm pretty I don't have some good ones. Okay, okay, okay.

00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: First one a pick six interception, and I'm gonna right,

578
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure I list down which ones picks like.

579
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: Okay, we basically whipped type of plays. Yeah, okay, pick

580
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: six that's a big one. Now that's a crazy pick

581
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: six is two?

582
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: Okay, two, that's up there. Ye six two. They probably

583
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: don't want to be writing on this, but uh. Second one,

584
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: tackle for a loss on third down? Tackle for loss

Speaker 2: on third down. I'm really mad.

586
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: It's not a sack, but it's third and short. Okay,

587
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 3: So the tackle for loss on third and short. Great play.

588
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: A lot of teams are fourth down teams, So I

589
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: don't know how I feel about it. I'm gonna go.

590

596
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna hurt. Put the pen away, fourth down stop

597
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: to win the game.

598
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 3: See that was the hard part because nothing, nothing else

599
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 3: was to win the game. So I knew something was

600
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,440
