<v Speaker 1>This is cut to it with Steve Smith Senior at

0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:08.879
<v Speaker 1>production of The Black Effect and I Heart Radio. I'm

0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Steve Smith Senior and I and this is cut to it.

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Good cud do. Let's getting down to do with good

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>do it. We asked the questions you always want to know,

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>but no one ever asked, let's cut to it. You

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>ain't heard am about it? Then we're about to let

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. It's all Hey, alexis uh, Alexis that's the wrong?

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>You even answer back, and al got a question for you.

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>You're doing that, sir, I'm great. I've been struggling with

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.319
<v Speaker 1>myself on frustration right, And so I was like, man,

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>what am I first straight about? And so I heard

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I heard this and it was it was a great question,

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>which is what are we doing and how are we

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>dealing with ourselves or maybe with God when we're sitting

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>in his waiting room. That's good. And the reason I

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>say that is if we're immature enough, we can hear

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a delay as a denoma. Oh so my question to

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>you is how are you handling waiting in God's waiting room?

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>The first thing comes to mind, is it it exercises

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of patients right exercises a lot of patients

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>because you are literally in the middle of whether it's

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>something you asked for, whether it's something you're waiting on.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>You you you mentioned waiting room, where there's something you're

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>waiting on or waiting for, or something to Uh, manifest

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>is such a buzzword right now, but you're waiting for

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>something to happen. It is that gap where it is

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, Uh, I know what either I'm trying to

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>detain or whether I'm trying to get to but I

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>haven't accomplished it yet, or I don't even see an

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.959
<v Speaker 1>inkling of it happening yet. So what do you do

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>in that middle portion? And the middle I've always found

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>is where you typically get refined to where you get pruned.

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>It's where um it's it's it's typically where the best

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>version of yourself eventually comes forth. It's also the part that,

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>if I'm being real, completely sucks. It completely sucks, because

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you're you're literally right there in the middle. The cool part, though,

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>is when you look back, you tend to see, man,

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I came from something um either really bad or something

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like or something I didn't enjoy, and you're

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>not where you want to be. But you gotta appreciate it.

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'll say all that to where, um, you know,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to answer your question. Oh, it definitely sucks, no doubt

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>about it. But it's also it's also when I go

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>back and I think about it's also I can point

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 1>out specific times in my life where it made me better.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's the part that matters. Truth be told, and

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to be totally honest, most of us don't like waiting,

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>particularly waiting on something to change or something to get better.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Waiting sometimes we could be very frustrated with the experience,

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and God is causing or calling us or causing us

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to wait because sometimes he it's not we're not asking

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the right way or we're not praying the right way.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I'll give it. This is the best analogy I

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>can I can do illustrate illustration. I give you the

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>best illustration. Remember back in the day, you go to

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the d m V. Or you go to the old

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>butcher or the corner store, and you gotta pull a ticket.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get the real ticket, not not not the

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>board you're talking about, the actual ticket. You gotta get

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the ticketing in there's a little you know, the dots

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and the numbers and say let's just say you're you're

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>uh ticket five or eight, you know whatever number? Which

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>number do you want to fifty seven? And what's the

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>counter on? Like four? That's really as a TV to

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>be here for a while, counters on fifty Okay, I'm

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>two fifty five. Okay, my show, So I get it.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I get the leap frog here, okay, okay, whatever you do.

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Check still come on Friday. Yeah, okay, cool. So they're

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:36.359
<v Speaker 1>on two fifty three. Now when we leap frog and

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>we try to get in front of two fifty three,

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>think about this. To fifty seven is Gerard, he's get

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>getting the check up. To fifty five is getting a

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>his I don't have it, but I'm using it asmin

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 1>halo refhild. But to fifty three he's getting the heart transplant.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna jump your ass in line early? And

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you go in as two fifty three because you stole

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>this ticket and now you gotta get a heart transplant?

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't even realize it, but all you really went in

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>there for and I just want some oxygen in my healer,

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>or I want to get a check up. Sometimes we

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>have to understand that God is delaying it because we're

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>not ready for Really, what's in there to fifty three

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>is getting a heart transplant. But you didn't jump the line,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and you disrupt the order. Now your healthy heart is

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>now about to be ripped out and you're about to

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>get a different heart. And somebody will say, well, well,

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>God's giving us this hard. But the point is when

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>you get a heart transplant, there's a process. There's a

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>process of are you the right blood type, are you

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the right age? How? How do you know to fifty

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>three isn't a fifty year old man who's who's been

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>a smoker, who all they're trying to do it that

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not even a fully operating heart. It is a

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>heart that now is applied with a pacemaker. So now

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>forty two years old, I can't run anymore, I can't

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>play any sports. Now. I'm just I've jumped the line

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>because I'm impatient because of delay. You took it as

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>a denial, as a denial, that's good, So I I

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>just I've realized in this process of life that one

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I have to have a life of gratitude, better life

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of gratitude, And also I gotta start realizing that while

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm in God's waiting room that I need to be

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>appreciative and understanding why God has me in that waiting room.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's good. What time you stream on Sundays? I

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>need some of this now. I need to tune in

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>for this. Appreciate that we're about to launch this. Ain't

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>there right back? Say you're gonnalausch this G four crush

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the numbers. Well, I just wanted to tell you. I

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>just I struggled and I thought about you know, life

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>is difficult depending on the week, day of the week,

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>in the time, it varies. But I also try to

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>encourage and want to be more encouraged and want to

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>be less. I'm a guy says oh half a glass

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>half empty means I'm halfway thirsty. Yeah, but really just

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>appreciating it. Sometimes God is only putting half of the

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>liquid in the in the cup. You ain't ready to

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>get the rest. You ain't ready to get the rest

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>because you know why, sometimes your bladder can handle them. Right.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>But so facts facts, Hey, who we got coming up

<v Speaker 1>uncle's yeah, and I always got the cigarette in the

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>side of the mouth and the bluetooth had a bluetooth cousin,

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.280

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that cop right wrong, that far right anything anything you

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.359
<v Speaker 1>got going on. He got some experience with like man

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>pcl the same time and the only feel like a

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>six pack of beer. But that's why it never works.

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>It only lasts for a couple of months. I got

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.679

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.719
<v Speaker 1>isn't working. Like if it wasn't for the fact that

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>she had remote learning right now, she'd be it because

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>she loves always laugh, that distinct laugh that you can hear,

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 1>like from around the corner. First of all, you can

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.839
<v Speaker 1>smell him before, you see, because they got the jew

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the stuff they sell everywhere. And why is it always blue?

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.280

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>seen your NFL network. They never bleep out anything you do.

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't want the same network. Now I've I've I've

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>calmed it down. You start come. You always getting into

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>with Michael Irvin? What'd you say? What you say? I said?

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, So here here's the rundown on the whole

0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Michael Irving thing. Yeah, people want to know the people wanted.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>So here's what happened. So when we were obviously in

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>studio and all that stuff, I'm gonna take my time.

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>It's my show. I want to hear the real baby. Oh.

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 1>So so we were, um, you know, Irvis from Florida, Um,

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, lives in Texas. So we were you know,

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I kind of asked him a question about his outfits

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and he, you know, he gave me an answer that

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like. And so I had been making fun

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of him, kind of you know, messing around because he

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>wears some flamboyant ones and so he, Mike Irvin said

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>something about mine, and I had kind of had a

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>conversation with him on who was doing my outfits. I

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>remember this, okay, and Mama wifee picks out a lot

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of my stuff because if it was me, I'm gonna

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you right now, bro, I'll be wearing like three

0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>or four colors only gray, black, red, So you ain't

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna style. I have styled, but when it comes down

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to it, when it comes down to it, I'll just

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>go at what I feel like. And for me, my

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>goal to is, man, we're just throwing them a red hat,

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>play it safe. I can't say I'm throwing a gray suit,

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>black shirt, basic foundational colors like to the point that

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>people that do my suits, they're like, um, all right,

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>we got enough of these colors. We need to pick

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>some different ones. But I'm gonna do it, but right now, yeah,

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>so and and so he would joke around and I

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>was still a new guy. So I was, you know,

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I was, you know, you know how it is in

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. Yeah, so I'm the young I'm the

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>young pup, and so I gotta take my lickings and

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>keep on taking. But basically, after the conversation, I felt

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>like since we had a dialogue like shoosters off closer

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 1>off the table, Yeah, and he brought it up on air,

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>he brought it up on air, and so I responded

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>on air. I responded the way I really felt it all.

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>It all makes sense now you see what I'm saying

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>at a private conversation and then you bring it on.

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm a guy if you clown me on air.

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>The retribution was on I'm gonna clown you gonna air

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>if you trip me. You know we're on air and

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you playing games. Then I said, okay, the game playing

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>begins when we're on air. I'm not gonna do it

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>off air. Mhmm, No, I'm gonna du it on air.

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 1>And so that's what it was. And so when he

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 1>said it, it had been like two or three weeks

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that he kept kind of jabbing that man, I'm just like, bro,

0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>if you don't stop this one more again, one gonna

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>get and I said, one more get into my head

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and then he sat and I was like, no, but

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the way I said it, people missed it is I

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>just I was gonna do it. I said, when I

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>come to l A, I'm gonna do it. Do that

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 1>mean I'm gonna take this mental note put in my

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.879
<v Speaker 1>back pocket. Then when I'm on the plane in l A,

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>take that note out, you know, because I'm from l A.

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.080

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.919

<v Speaker 1>you call to YouTube, man, it is like a back

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and forth compilation that got you and Michael I. I'll

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 1>watched the whole entire thing dog times. The thing is

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Spice has played against me and knows me. Yes, I

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't joking, No, I know how And so but it

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:42.360
<v Speaker 1>also is a great reminders like, hey, we gotta grow up. Yeah,

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we gotta change how we approach things. And the really

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 1>cool thing about Earth though, is Earth does challenge me.

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 1>He does make me think outside of the box. Earth

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:58.399
<v Speaker 1>has the gift for the game. Earth is a very um.

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He is a smart man. Um. He knows what he's doing. However,

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it was a little bit of you know, younger, I

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.920
<v Speaker 1>receiver Old World and I've always respected IRV and that,

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 1>and that's kind of why I responded the way I was,

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>because I do have so much respect for him, and

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I felt at that time it was a personal attack.

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And when when you believe somebody you look up to

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and you mentor that mentors you and you inspire, you

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 1>aspire to to to to some degree, have some some

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:41.159
<v Speaker 1>remnants of, Hey, I hope I could be considered you know,

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to. I want to be able to consider

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 1>myself in the same category of Earth as far statistically

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and playing. And so I kind of was like, like,

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the time, I'm yeah, I'm I'm I'm

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:01.399
<v Speaker 1>almost forty years old. Yeah, and then it ain't you

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 1>come at me happened because ye, yeah, when I'm talking

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 1>about want to happen. So I'm like yeah, and so

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that's why it's like and I kind of like, man,

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know what I did that you want

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to do it on the air. So it kind of

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>made it. I was, you know, to something. Yes, some

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 1>people say, oh, Steve was in his feelings. I wasn't

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:33.159
<v Speaker 1>in my feelings. I felt pretty much disrespected because of

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:35.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not even I still haven't win in the

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 1>detail and I won't go in detail. We had an

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 1>end depth conversation, a private conversation which I thought, and

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't left me and which led me to say, hey,

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:53.439
<v Speaker 1>I won't make fun of Earth because of the conversation

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>we had. And then when he said on camera like

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 1>two weeks later, I'm like this ninja, this ninja te

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.960

<v Speaker 1>They said, okay, on how your State Indiana game. They

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 1>said to three players that you think like we're game

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>change or whatever. So I'm like, all right, cool, I

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>got all right. So it's like me and Mike Hall,

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Mike hallight man, We're gonna have so much fun, dude, Like,

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>let's do it. Whom were on here? Three to one?

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Actually go? So Mike says, okay, welcome to Big ten Network.

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I got a special guest Fice Adam stim Let's go

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 1>to the highlights. I thought we was gonna go back

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>and forth and the and all that. So I'm like, damn,

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 1>all right, So what's all on me? I noticed like

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 1>as I'm talking, I'm the one going through all of

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the highlights. I'm like, dang, it's really all on me?

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:55.719
<v Speaker 1>All right? So I n all that part because all

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.719
<v Speaker 1>they asked me to do. What's to do? Three players?

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So I did those plays? Is I said all this stuff.

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say whatever whatever. So then like right

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>after that, he's like, so what do you think about

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 1>produce offensive coordinator? And I was like, what that is

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 1>not what we talked about and say, oh, Momi, this

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm saying in my head. But like coming

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 1>like what I'm saying. It's like, oh man, I think

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.959
<v Speaker 1>the offensive coordinator's cool. You're talking about the old boy, right,

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:32.719
<v Speaker 1>But in my mind, I'm like, dog, y'all stay in henda,

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know nothing about You can actually something

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>about Ben Roethlisberger NFL quarterbacks, But vict I had no

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>zero percent percent of what you're talking about. So make

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a long story short. I straightened bomb Dog like like

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:52.479
<v Speaker 1>none other and they take everything. Then he was like, hey, man,

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>what do you think about defense coordinator from Northwestern? I

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, man, what they should do is hiring me.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Get everybody in on line, some gassersta. So I just

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>started just saying anything, bro, just like the random questions

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 1>he was asking, I was just giving random answers that

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to do with the question he was talking about.

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>But I straight up bomb Dog, so I can understand

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what you what you're saying. Like sometimes you get caught

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 1>off guard and you're just like, but the thing is,

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you and Earth got a relationship, bro. So when he

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>said something like that, it's different when it comes from

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody that you figure that that's your mentor like this

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>your homeboy, and like y'all been through some of the

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>same thing, right, So when he said that, I don't

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>know you was like, but the thing is at least

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you responded that way by feeling disrespected, because sometimes people

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 1>feel disrespected and it's like it's on on air, off

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>area it on that So the way you handled it

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that was dope. Well I appreciate it the other because

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:04.680
<v Speaker 1>only wanted to handle You're gonna need a whole bunch

<v Speaker 1>were in your feelings or not whatever. I just got

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 1>in my feelings about what you just said. Because there

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of time on Thursday. You can see

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the writing on the wall man, like when it comes

0:27:56.359 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to your reps and practice, like like I don't even

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.440
<v Speaker 1>feel at all from mixed practice, Like seems like I'm

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>not in the game plan. What's going on? So then

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Sunday rolled around, Yeah, we uh, you're not gonna dress today.

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I did my warm up all that everybody can't be

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>like Julius Peppers and get here thirty minutes before and

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 1>say hey let's go. Man, I gotta run in circles

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 1>like always before the game and get warmed up. Man,

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:38.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have my game pans on when I woke up,

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>like I'm ready. Now we're gonna set you out this game,

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>like bro. But anyway about me, um, Ultimately, dog, I

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>just want to be the best dad evers. Like I

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>value being a husband. I value being a dad because

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have that growing up. I didn't see you

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>know my dad, and like, my dad went to prison

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>when I was like four, so it was just me

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and my mom's and so I never really saw the

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>dynamic of marriage unless it was you know, my grandma

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 1>my granddad. But other than that, I didn't see it.

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Living in my house, so it was all. And I

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>was the only child, so I didn't have brothers and sisters.

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 1>So growing up I always was like, man, I'm gonna

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>be a good husband, and I'm gonna be a good dad,

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna have a lot of kids. So now

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I got four kids, uh going on fifteen years of marriage,

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 1>my wife and I and uh so that's that's what

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I valued the most. Now as far as the entertainment side,

0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I was the only child, so I

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>grew up always wanted to entertain So then I want

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:47.719
<v Speaker 1>to come back over to the house. So what what happened? Uh?

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>or some type of factory or something like that. Man.

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it was nothing handed to you in

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Detroit and in the in the neighborhood I lived in, Man,

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of gang violence, shooting, drugs and

0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>gambling and all that type of stuff. Man. But once

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>my mom, you know, it's like, look, you're gonna play

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 1>some football. Then she kind of sheltered me away from

0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. And I gotta love for football because I

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 1>never really wanted to play. Like we we grew up

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the Pistons Bad Boys, so it was all about Isaiah Thomas,

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Joe Dumars, John Sally, Dennis Robin and like all those guys.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So all we did in my neighborhood was cool. Then

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 1>my mom was like, no, you're gonna play some football.

0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what what is that? I didn't want

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to play? It was like it was boring to me,

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Like it's four hours. It's either you catch the bar

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't like? Who want to sit there and watch

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:12.479
<v Speaker 1>that for four hours? But then when I started playing,

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Yo, this is dope. Like you could

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.640
<v Speaker 1>physically beat a man and they ain't got to worried

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 1>about the police or not like that. Sign me up,

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 1>let's do with it. Like man, that was I love it.

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 1>So since my mom made me play man, I've been playing,

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, eighteen years since then. Man, the dope? How

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 1>did you get spice as the as your nickname? A?

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna love this, bro, so Mark Luther Game High

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:43.320
<v Speaker 1>School in Detroit. It was about seven Anthony's on the team.

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 1>So they saw I was somewhat good because I started

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>out on JV. Then I got moved up to varsity.

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 1>But then it was like dog, this young kid, he

0:32:51.200 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>got something and it was like, man, we can't call

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you Anthony, dog. We gotta give you a nickname. And

0:32:57.320 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>so I had these braids in my hair that looked

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like the rapper Spice One. So there was like, we're

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:07.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna call you Spice, and I was like, nah, you're

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna call me Anthony, like you've been feeling it now

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I want. I wasn't a gig any gangster man. I

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't Spice One. Like I'm not Spice, but that's my man.

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I love all Spkes One albums. But dog, no man

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>called me Anthony. But I'm like a freshman, you know

0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. So it's like, boy, a thousand times

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:32.080

<v Speaker 1>what you want became Spice the main ingredient man, and

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.360

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of right left, and we all know who that is

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that's saying. He'd be like, oh, several names that go

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to I can't get right. Oh you're talking about the Panthers.

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:26.480
<v Speaker 1>every team. That's what makes it funny, Like, oh, he

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:30.360
<v Speaker 1>can't get right? But didya have did y'all have a

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:33.279
<v Speaker 1>dead man walking? We had a dude on the team.

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Then we all got sprints, we all got these runs

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:45.840
<v Speaker 1>we gotta do everybody damn man walking. It's like this.

0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:51.400

<v Speaker 1>coach like, da walking, You might want to move out

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 1>the way we run the sprints. Oh, you always got

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to do this out of shape. I'm not even always

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:11.959

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:16.320
<v Speaker 1>like how you felt when it was alignment. I didn't

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.719
<v Speaker 1>say which I said. It is either you can put

0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:22.800
<v Speaker 1>defense or I've been filling the plank. I feel attact.

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm I apologize because some of y'alls, it would be

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.880
<v Speaker 1>some running backs who just can't do it, especially when

0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 1>they come to long distance y'all receivers, y'all sprinters, man, Yeah,

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:42.360
<v Speaker 1>some of us. I ain't even gonna ask you following

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a question on that because I don't want you. It's

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 1>not not every not every fast guy can sprint like consistently.

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:51.359
<v Speaker 1>So you know, you have to have gassers. Like there's

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>some guys that they can run. They're like a They're

0:35:56.160 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 1>like a cheap piece of gum, Like we're gone ten seconds. Yeah,

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 1>you know it just don't have yes big round of

0:36:05.840 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>high school stud I ran um. I ran a hunter

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.520
<v Speaker 1>meter hurdles, three thirty hurdles, and I knew he was

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:15.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna say hurdles dog just from the way he played.

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I knew he was gonna say her tell me what

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>like the way you got up and get the rock.

0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:24.479
<v Speaker 1>It is either I had to be like long jump

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 1>or I mean I jump, or like some type of

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>hurdles or something, some type of bounding. Yes, look at

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you and Bunny. I don't really inser like skilled positions,

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 1>bro especially running back, because running backs are the most

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:43.800
<v Speaker 1>disrespected athlete as far as when it comes to like

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 1>money and contracts and stuff like that, and how it's

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 1>like a revolving door with them, Like there's no reason

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:53.880
<v Speaker 1>why Adrian Peterson should have played for five six teams.

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 1>He should not be a journeyman like you. Gotta get

0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>that man in respect he deserved, like for real, like

0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that man can still go. I mean it happens all

0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the time. That's just like I'm a four three guy.

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm skinning and grinned. I'm shooting the gap. No responsibility,

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 1>just penetrate, go go, don't think, just go. I love

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 1>not to think like I got a gap, boom, let's

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 1>do it. But I know what I'm supposed to do.

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Came over to San Francisco with that three four. I'm like,

0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I gotta I gotta get it all the way to

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>three thirty. I don't want to be I can't move

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:30.719
<v Speaker 1>three thirty. Oh man, they want me to be too

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:32.879
<v Speaker 1>gaping and go. Let the linebacker gonna make the play.

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I could go make it, let me go do it like,

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:38.920
<v Speaker 1>oh man, that's it's it's it's different, bro, it's different.

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:40.759
<v Speaker 1>And then a lot of times and they've got nothing

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to do with your ability, to do with your knowledge

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of the game, nothing to do with your effort, none

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of that. It's just like sometimes coaches come in, they

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:52.759
<v Speaker 1>like who they like, and whatever also happens to is

0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 1>they you have coaches who believe their system. It's more

0:37:56.680 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>valuable than the players. Yes, Smithie has shared his mentality

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.240
<v Speaker 1>how he approached the game, Spice, how did you approach

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the game? What was your mentality playing on the defensive line? Uh,

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>how did you approach the game? I just wanted to

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 1>prepare like crazy, man. I used to watch a lot

0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of film. I used to watch the Guys home game.

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I used to see how they played away, how they

0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 1>played with the crowd, noise, all that type of stuff.

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I had a lot of fun, man. And uh,

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that's that's how I kind of approached the game too. Man.

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:31.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like in the locker room, I never like wanted

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it to be quiet or anything like that. Man, So

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I always like crack a joke. I'll be in there dancing,

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll be doing like all types of stuff. So, but

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the thing with the Bears, it's just like it was

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people on the team who was the

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>same way. So it was like a bunch of big kids.

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 1>So when I got there, I was like, I'm in

0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:52.359
<v Speaker 1>my element. Dog. Like it was more than just one

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 1>class flown. You got Peanut Tillman, you got less Bridge,

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:59.759
<v Speaker 1>you got Tom Harris out of Wileon Letter, Alex Brown.

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>It's it's so many characters, bro. So I was just

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 1>like I was in my element. Bro. But it's kind

0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of like what Steve said, like people just see the

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 1>They just see you on the field on Sunday. They

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 1>don't see what happens Monday through Saturday when you just

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, training and you're you're you're in the weight

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 1>room and you're going all out and then you're watching

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 1>film and then you're going out on the practice field

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 1>doing working on all your little moves and all your

0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 1>techniques and all that type of stuff. But you know,

0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't trade it for the world. Man, I'll do

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it all over again, man if I had to. I

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 1>wish I could still play right now. Man, I give

0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you thirty good plays might not be in a row.

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.200
<v Speaker 1>It'll be some conditions on it. Like if I gotta

0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:44.719
<v Speaker 1>sull being, I want to sub being where the ball

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is closer to the hatch that's by the bench, because

0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:50.400
<v Speaker 1>like running that extra fifteen yards is gonna you know,

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 1>I might get booty locked. You know you're doing them

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>shuttles and that the glutes just don't be firing like

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:15.279

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 1>let me get I'm gonna get upset all over again. Man,

0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 1>don't be, don't be, don't be triggered, Like go ahead

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and give us a listen. Man, it's you can't do

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:46.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing to Steve unless he wants you to okay, like

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't touch the dude, man, And I can't talk

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to my dvs bro because I can't do what they do.

0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But there's a lot of times when we're playing Steve

0:41:56.080 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, what, at least can somebody at least

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 1>stop him from talking. You went out, you went out,

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We couldn't hear you. Oh, Like, somebody needs to stop

0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Steve Smith. At least stop him from talking. Stop him,

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:18.040
<v Speaker 1>stop him period from talking, catching the ball, running a route,

0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 1>just stop him, bro. Like it is so frustrating. It's

0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>like a trying to catch like a like a chicken

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. He's just going every witch away, man,

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.719
<v Speaker 1>and you can't. It's like by the time you catch him,

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:36.840
<v Speaker 1>it's already first down the chicken coop. Oh man. I

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:39.080
<v Speaker 1>mean it's just like every time you play him, bro,

0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you already know what to expect. And I'm like, I

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 1>played defensive line and I know about like the impact

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of Steve Smith. So it's like, man, I got to

0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:50.400
<v Speaker 1>get to the quarterback so then we won't have to

0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.360
<v Speaker 1>hear about Steve Smith. But I only played first a

0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 1>second down stopper. It's like, oh man, I hope this

0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is passed. But I know I'm gonna get double to

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:02.359
<v Speaker 1>trip a team this game. So it's like I really

0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:05.200
<v Speaker 1>have no impact on the game. But playing with Steve,

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.759
<v Speaker 1>playing against Steve is a is a headache, bro, And

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's like every time. So that's every story when

0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it comes to Steve Smith, every every story. You know.

0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this. You were considered undersize D tackle. Yeah,

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Now when you look at the game today, undersized D

0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 1>tackles are going in the first round in the premium.

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Now they're getting paid a hunt a hundred million dollars

0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>with chatting five million dollars guaranteed. Wrong. I had wrong time.

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Should have wait, dog man, I should have said now

0:43:48.520 --> 0:43:51.960
<v Speaker 1>let me cook some old mama. These dudes is some

0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:57.360
<v Speaker 1>cyborgs man, Like how how are you a defensive tackle

0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and you got abs? Like what? Like how these dudes

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>just like makeup players now man faster, stronger muscles and

0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 1>not like what Like I'm used to seeing Ted Washington.

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Big Ted's six seven, four hundred pounds. But if you

0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:23.920
<v Speaker 1>look on the magazine and say three twenties, but everybody

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>know Big Ted is pushing phone on it Monday through Saturday.

0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:33.440
<v Speaker 1>But when he listed yeah, it's gonna say three thirty.

0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But nowadays, man, like Aaron Donald is like ridiculous. Dog,

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.400
<v Speaker 1>He's like weird science, Like all right, we're gonna make

0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:43.839
<v Speaker 1>them fast this way, We're gonna make them be able

0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to play every position on the defensive line like J. J. White,

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:51.600
<v Speaker 1>like all these different guys. Man, it is crazy, dog,

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:54.640
<v Speaker 1>just like how much bigger and faster and stronger everybody.

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.920
<v Speaker 1>You see the wide receivers running um four twos like

0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing I electric Like, how are you running out

0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:07.200
<v Speaker 1>for two with electricity? What? What did you running hand

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 1>hill like this? I mean it is. I love to

0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 1>see it, though, man, because it's just like, dude, I

0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 1>can't do it. So I'm just like I'm I'm at

0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a position now where I'm a fan, like I understand

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 1>like what it takes to get to that point. But

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:24.880
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, I'm just like, yo, do you

0:45:25.160 --> 0:45:27.840
<v Speaker 1>know like what you're doing right now? Like if I

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:29.879
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to talk to him and like, dog,

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:32.359
<v Speaker 1>you you're killing it right now. Like I know they

0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:34.200
<v Speaker 1>can't see it right now because they're in the moment,

0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 1>but these young players are here, man, they they I'm

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 1>really impressed with him. Man. I did a zoom call

0:45:40.680 --> 0:45:43.359
<v Speaker 1>the other day and one of the questions for one

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of the guys coming out UH into the draft, he said,

0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:52.319
<v Speaker 1>what do you do about your brand? Mmmmm, I think

0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:56.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question. I should Well, you know, obviously

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:58.880
<v Speaker 1>your brand is whatever it is and what you desired

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to be. But if you can't play ball, it doesn't matter.

0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:07.719
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter about your brand. And what I find

0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:12.279
<v Speaker 1>interested in that question and the statement is you're on

0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:15.400
<v Speaker 1>your way into the league and you're thinking about your brand.

0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:23.439
<v Speaker 1>That's good. I'm confused about you know, and I guess

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.279
<v Speaker 1>that's where it comes off where I'm a hater. Fuck

0:49:03.160 --> 0:49:07.160
<v Speaker 1>football player. Like that's it. That's kind of why I

0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:10.800
<v Speaker 1>went back to school to get my executive NBA because

0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:12.480

0:49:12.520 --> 0:49:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of business and I wanted people to take me serious.

0:49:14.840 --> 0:49:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to just be like, oh, you know,

0:49:16.480 --> 0:49:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I played for the Bears. I played for uh for

0:49:19.000 --> 0:49:21.080
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, So you know, give me a shot because

0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, I'm in NFL. Dude, Like no, like

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 1>respect me as a businessman, you know what I'm saying,

0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:29.839
<v Speaker 1>respect my authority. Tie. When's the last time you really

0:49:29.920 --> 0:49:39.959
<v Speaker 1>challenge yourself today every day? Because listen, I've lost pounds, congratulations.

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:44.239
<v Speaker 1>And that is by far the hardest thing I ever

0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:47.279
<v Speaker 1>had to do. And I've been in training camps, you know,

0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:52.439
<v Speaker 1>all types of stuff, but this is everyday battle. Dog

0:49:52.680 --> 0:49:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to say, I'm not gonna have no cookies today. I'm

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:57.920
<v Speaker 1>not gonna have no chips today. I'm not gonna have

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:02.320
<v Speaker 1>no kool Aid. Like Dog. It is is ongoing battle

0:50:02.520 --> 0:50:05.800
<v Speaker 1>every day. And I work out just like now to

0:50:05.920 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 1>keep the weight off. Like the weight is off. And uh,

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had to give away all my suits,

0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:15.920
<v Speaker 1>all my suits, man, all my my player at Steve

0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Smith's suits. Man, I had to give him all the

0:50:20.360 --> 0:50:24.160
<v Speaker 1>good will man. But yeah, it's a it's a battle

0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:27.799
<v Speaker 1>for real. I used to think when people say, um,

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a lifestyle, I was like, man, that's just something

0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:35.920
<v Speaker 1>skinny people be saying it really is? It really is?

0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Why is making people laugh so meaningful to you? I

0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 1>like people around me to have a good time, like period,

0:50:46.000 --> 0:50:47.880
<v Speaker 1>dog Like, I don't like people to be around I

0:50:47.960 --> 0:50:50.640
<v Speaker 1>remember a lot of times where I'd be in a

0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:53.400
<v Speaker 1>locker room and then just be quiet, and I'm just like,

0:50:53.680 --> 0:50:57.040
<v Speaker 1>don't like. This is a kid's game, man. We get

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:00.520
<v Speaker 1>paid at King's Ransom to play a kid's game, And

0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, dog, is this a game where it's

0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a funeral? Dog Like, come on, Like I would literally

0:51:05.920 --> 0:51:08.759
<v Speaker 1>say that verbatim, like is this a funeral or it's

0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 1>a football game? Like it's too quiet in here, dog Like,

0:51:12.160 --> 0:51:14.320
<v Speaker 1>look at this dude, hair Like I just crack a

0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:18.800
<v Speaker 1>joke like something like, let's break the ice. I can't

0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:20.840
<v Speaker 1>be next to you, dog if you just got like

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:24.400
<v Speaker 1>bad energy, dog like you just too quiet? Something like

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna crack a joke in a huddle. I'm gonna

0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:30.560
<v Speaker 1>say something during the game, like something bro like let's

0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>let's like it's nothing better than doing your job and

0:51:35.280 --> 0:51:38.279
<v Speaker 1>having fun while you're doing it. It's the best in

0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the world. Dog Like, we we used to play games

0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:43.440
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room. We just play basketball. We used

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to play baseball. It was nothing. If you went to

0:51:46.560 --> 0:51:48.799
<v Speaker 1>our locker room and you hear this on the door,

0:51:50.360 --> 0:51:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that's us playing baseball. That's the baseball hitting the door

0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:56.840
<v Speaker 1>because somebody just got struck out. And so it's just

0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:59.319
<v Speaker 1>like it becomes a culture in a locker room, Dog

0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:03.279
<v Speaker 1>that you can't get nowhere else. Dog, it's the best, bro.

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:13.839
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about class clowns in the locker room?

0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Did you like those teammates who were the class clowns?

0:52:17.160 --> 0:52:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Who were some of those class clowns? What do you

0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:23.399
<v Speaker 1>remember about it? I mean, you just remember who they were.

0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:27.080
<v Speaker 1>We had a guy Lewis d. Lineman from l s U.

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:30.680
<v Speaker 1>He's actually a relators back in Louisiana. He was always

0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:34.680
<v Speaker 1>doing fun stuff. They broke up to day Ros Smart,

0:52:34.800 --> 0:52:39.719
<v Speaker 1>he hate me, Gerard Cooper. They you looked forward to

0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:42.800
<v Speaker 1>them doing things. Jordan's gross is a class clown? Really?

0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh Jordan do a prank? He's funny. Um. You know

0:52:48.320 --> 0:52:52.920
<v Speaker 1>they gave things. They gave the locker room at times,

0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 1>meaning right, it helped us at times when difficult moments

0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:01.400
<v Speaker 1>where you have some one that can just say, hey, guys,

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 1>not that serious. So you know, I think, um, you

0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:08.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta have you gotta be able to laugh at yourself

0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and other people to keep to the soul man it is.

0:53:11.000 --> 0:53:12.840
<v Speaker 1>It is got to be able to keep that laughter in.

0:53:13.120 --> 0:53:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and I would even say you're a clown

0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:18.919
<v Speaker 1>at times when we're when we're behind the scenes, whether

0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.000
<v Speaker 1>it's in the office or whether we're recording this podcast,

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.520
<v Speaker 1>whatever we're doing, like people don't always see. I don't

0:53:23.520 --> 0:53:25.200
<v Speaker 1>think you have more of a clown side maybe than

0:53:25.239 --> 0:53:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you than you lead onto. Oh absolutely I do. I

0:53:29.480 --> 0:53:33.520
<v Speaker 1>just there's just part of me. There are areas part

0:53:33.560 --> 0:53:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of me. I just don't reveal the people. And that

0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:38.799
<v Speaker 1>has to go. That has to do with a little

0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:40.239
<v Speaker 1>bit of a way I grew up in some of

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the wounds that I have. But I also try extremely

0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:48.960
<v Speaker 1>hard to be a little bit guarded and allow that

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:52.480
<v Speaker 1>funniness or me be a class clown and really kind

0:53:52.480 --> 0:53:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of be private for the my closed circle and the

0:53:56.520 --> 0:53:59.560
<v Speaker 1>people who don't really know. They think I'm always serious

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not always serious sometimes, Um, you know I

0:54:05.160 --> 0:54:08.520
<v Speaker 1>play around too much. Big Yes, it's like all right, brother,

0:54:08.600 --> 0:54:10.239
<v Speaker 1>let's let's get serious. And I'm kind of like, no,

0:54:10.320 --> 0:54:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be serious today. You gotta have

0:54:12.040 --> 0:54:15.799
<v Speaker 1>you gotta have that balance every everything can't be mr serious. Yeah,

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would admit I am sometimes too serious,

0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:22.600
<v Speaker 1>but I'm also um trying to let it go. And

0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it was really cool, is uh? In my reading the

0:54:28.160 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 1>day it said for the person who has learned to

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:37.880
<v Speaker 1>let go and let be, nothing can ever get in

0:54:37.960 --> 0:54:41.399
<v Speaker 1>the way. Again. That's really interesting to me because it's

0:54:41.600 --> 0:54:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it says that we have to learn how to let go.

0:54:44.280 --> 0:54:48.040
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't It doesn't come naturally until we learn how.

0:54:48.880 --> 0:54:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Letting go as a skill that comes when you see

0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 1>others do it and when we practice it. It comes

0:54:55.320 --> 0:55:01.800
<v Speaker 1>when we accept we are not completely separate individuals but

0:55:02.719 --> 0:55:08.640
<v Speaker 1>part of a larger whole. Then we must turn most

0:55:08.760 --> 0:55:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of our problems over to our Lord and savior, or

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:16.480
<v Speaker 1>let others deal with issues that don't belong to us.

0:55:17.440 --> 0:55:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Most of us work hard to gain control of our

0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:27.800
<v Speaker 1>lives and to manage the circumstances we face. Becoming selective

0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:31.800
<v Speaker 1>about what we try to control is a very adult

0:55:31.880 --> 0:55:37.800
<v Speaker 1>skill that takes time and much life experience. When we

0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:41.960
<v Speaker 1>can finally let go and stand aside from the things

0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:47.040
<v Speaker 1>we we do not need to manage, we get the

0:55:47.120 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 1>payoff of liberation and peace of mind. Our burden is

0:55:53.960 --> 0:55:58.080
<v Speaker 1>lighten and the only things that we can handle are

0:55:58.200 --> 0:56:04.040
<v Speaker 1>left today. I will take every opportunity to practice the

0:56:04.239 --> 0:56:10.600
<v Speaker 1>skill of letting go and letting be. So that's what

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to work on. I feel appropriate after that

0:56:13.560 --> 0:56:17.120
<v Speaker 1>interview that we had to Ye, that's cool. You are

0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:23.000
