Speaker 10: I swear for God because this ship ain't real.

Speaker 9: But see I told you, listen, see you.
Speaker 2: Were a good Vanessa. But I thought I would have
Speaker 2: thought if I ain't no ready to bet, I would
Speaker 2: have thought you were from Atlanta.
Speaker 5: I would have not because it's some tune is, it's
Speaker 5: some Fanessa's, it's some stammers.
Speaker 2: I don't we need some time.
Speaker 5: Hold on, we will talk all the way out of anything.
Speaker 7: I still be scamming that. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie
Speaker 7: to you.
Speaker 10: I still I know because the light's hitting it and
Speaker 10: look good, don't it. Yeah, sh this ain't just from
Speaker 10: a laugh. Nigga foods go straight from the lamb.
Speaker 1: You said you were disappointed that your former coach was
Speaker 1: there when you got there, y'all came in together. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, Ron Rivera didn't call you when he.
Speaker 5: Was in Washington. Why did that upset you so much?
Speaker 5: That was my dog, Like we've been through so much.
Speaker 5: I always hear his voice.
Speaker 4: Somebody he yeah, kiddo, you know man?
Speaker 2: This that like I say this respectfully.
Speaker 4: He raised me and I raised him.
Speaker 2: He was a rookie head coach.
Speaker 6: I was a rookie player.
Speaker 5: I was not going to allow him to fail in Carolina,
Speaker 5: not under my watch, because there's an oath and as
Speaker 5: it's just in us as athletes that when somebody takes
Speaker 5: a chance on you, no matter what round it is,
Speaker 5: you feel obligated to give because they've no matter what
Speaker 5: you want to say, they've allowed you the opportunity to
Speaker 5: take care of your bloodline. So when what was happened
Speaker 5: or what had happened in Carolina with me and coach Vera,
Speaker 5: we had numerous talks and discussions.
Speaker 4: About the game of football and about life.
Speaker 5: So when I was going through the transition of being
Speaker 5: out of Carolina, I was like, yo, at least I
Speaker 5: was damn coach and it wasn't just him.
Speaker 2: See that's the thing.
Speaker 5: I can't blame a head coach because he may not
Speaker 5: have picking power. But Marty Herniey the same thing he was.
Speaker 5: He drafted me he was in DC and he said, no,
Speaker 5: it's I'm gonna take it a step further. The head
Speaker 5: trainer that they had, Ryan Vermilion, was there.
Speaker 8: Nobody.
Speaker 4: So me going through this whole resurgence like yo, like damn,
Speaker 4: I kept.
Speaker 5: Asking my age and I'm like, Yo, they ag't call Washington,
Speaker 5: ain't called.
Speaker 2: Know what's going on. So maybe you weren't as close
Speaker 2: as you previously thought.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 2: I'm an action person.
Speaker 5: Bro, I'm an action person, and I teach my children
Speaker 5: this man.
Speaker 4: I could tell you anything, but if.
Speaker 5: I don't prove on a day today basis that I
Speaker 5: loved what I showed you.
Speaker 4: Oh, that don't mean nothing to me.
Speaker 1: Have you had a conversation with him? Have you spoken
Speaker 1: to him? No, sir, not like we said now, it's
Speaker 1: not no beef.
Speaker 5: And I don't want nobody to kind of take what
Speaker 5: I'm saying is that I'm angry because there was a
Speaker 5: business decision that has to be made and I was
Speaker 5: and I knew I was coming.
Speaker 4: Off a shoulder injury. Is that that's all it was.
Speaker 5: It was like for me to just say, hey, kiddo,
Speaker 5: how you doing, Hey, how you feeling? Though, Let's come
Speaker 5: up here for a physical let me really do a
Speaker 5: deep die.
Speaker 4: That's the relationship we had.
Speaker 5: And it was the things. And I told Coach r Vera.
Speaker 5: I was like, Yo, this was in Carolina. I was like,
Speaker 5: in any.
Speaker 4: Short yarded situation, coach, give me the fucking ball.
Speaker 2: Harriet lady and gentlemen, Raheem Morris.
Speaker 6: And the man changed the script.
Speaker 9: Guys, I just want to know, do you need some
Speaker 9: fresh legs out there at camp.
Speaker 2: Say that again.
Speaker 7: When you need some fresh leg I can still go.
Speaker 7: I promise you.
Speaker 10: I tell uncle all the time, I still got it.
Speaker 7: Listen, even at fifty six, I'll tell.
Speaker 11: You this o Cho definitely can give me a couple
Speaker 11: of releases.
Speaker 6: There we go, and then we're gonna stop right there.
Speaker 8: Guys, got no route.
Speaker 10: You know when you when you talk about quarterbacks, we
Speaker 10: understand how important that position is, obviously in order to
Speaker 10: sustain a consistent success for any team. If you look
Speaker 10: at the top teams in the NFL, it always come
Speaker 10: down to the quarterback position. Is there a disconnect in
Speaker 10: any way with the quarterback competing with each other, understanding
Speaker 10: the pressures that are on Kirk Cousins if he doesn't
Speaker 10: play well that in jobs in jeopardy.
Speaker 11: I think I think the message was clear coming in.
Speaker 11: It was open, it was honest, It was clear. Kurt's
Speaker 11: at started. Kurt's gonna take us to places that we
Speaker 11: want to go to. Okay, and Michael's gonna come in
Speaker 11: and he's gonna watch what it looks like, what it
Speaker 11: feels like. He wants to see what it looked like
Speaker 11: when you had your quarterbacks and your day with John Lway.
Speaker 6: You want to see what it looked like. You ain't
Speaker 6: having no quarterbacks, but it would look.
Speaker 2: Like to go out there.
Speaker 1: You won super Bowls at two different stops. You've been
Speaker 1: an assistant on a lot of different head coaches. What
Speaker 1: is the common nominator between winning and losing?
Speaker 6: The people?
Speaker 11: It's the people first business and everything we do. When
Speaker 11: you were a Raven, I watched it live in hand.
Speaker 11: I came into that stadium and I watched the confidence
Speaker 11: and the people. I watched Ray Lewis talk smack. I
Speaker 11: watched you talk smack, and we went in there like man,
Speaker 11: we about to beat him. And then y'all let us
Speaker 11: know after the game that y'all wasn't And it was
Speaker 11: the people that was involved with the organizations. It was
Speaker 11: all about that. And here we building a people first
Speaker 11: business and we're doing it with us, we're doing our
Speaker 11: people with our fans, and like, I just think that's
Speaker 11: just the messaging, Like you got to have that type
Speaker 11: of mentality. It's got to be a people first mentality.
Speaker 11: It has to be at all times in everything we do.
Speaker 11: We're talking about what the fans were talking about, what
Speaker 11: our community, we're talking about in the building.
Speaker 6: We're talking about with myself and Terry Finning.
Speaker 11: On our relationship are at the blank and how he
Speaker 11: communicates with everybody, how we go about our whole process.
Speaker 6: It's the it's the people. It's simple.
Speaker 2: Obviously, you had other opportunities.
Speaker 1: How do you convince coaches that look like you that
Speaker 1: don't feel like that opportunity is ever gonna come because
Speaker 1: you had to think about it. There are a fifteen
Speaker 1: year gap between the time that you were a head
Speaker 1: coach into it that you got it again, and you
Speaker 1: had interviews and did you ever think like, Man, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm going to ever get another chance.
Speaker 2: To be a head coach again.
Speaker 6: Say you're ready to say this? It's real simple for me, right,
Speaker 6: I was a thirty two year old head coach.
Speaker 11: And I did it again, and people were telling me
Speaker 11: you should have had it a long time ago. I
Speaker 11: don't give a damn what you people were saying. I'm
Speaker 11: gonna work for it. I'm gonna go get it, and
Speaker 11: when it happens, I'm gonna be ready. So I'm gona
Speaker 11: I'm gonna keep developing my skill set that when it
Speaker 11: happens again, it's going to be no denying on what
Speaker 11: you can and how you going to be able to
Speaker 11: do it and go about your business.
Speaker 6: And I don't give it. Damn what color I am?
Speaker 2: Yeah, results don't know color like it? Like it. You
Speaker 2: look at what you've done.
Speaker 1: You got Grady Jarrett, you bring him back, You signed
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons, you signed Matthew Judon, You just gave AJ
Speaker 1: Terrell boatload of money. You secure lock him up. I
Speaker 1: drafted him to don't forget you did. You did draft him.
Speaker 1: So what is the expectations of this defense? Considering you've
Speaker 1: got guys that have been Pro Bowls, that have been
Speaker 1: to the All Pro. Ajterrell is one of the better
Speaker 1: young corners in the league. And we know Geredy Jared
Speaker 1: is one of the outstanding defensive linemen in the league.
Speaker 1: What is the expectation that's your area of expertise.
Speaker 11: As you know, as you know, it's really simple, right,
Speaker 11: stats are for losers. Yes, there are expectations that go
Speaker 11: out there and beat dogs. Right, we gotta find ways
Speaker 11: to affect the quarterback and make them just feel uncomfortable
Speaker 11: at all times. And once you find a way to
Speaker 11: make them uncomfortable, and you dominate rundowns and get the
Speaker 11: ball back.
Speaker 6: Then just go watch your offense shine.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 11: That's what winning teams do. That's how you form your identity.
Speaker 11: That's how you make things move. That's how the needle moves.
Speaker 11: And the next thing you talking about it on your
Speaker 11: shows about the stats. We don't care about none of that.
Speaker 11: We care about the dog mentality that's gonna take to
Speaker 11: get there. That's what our that's what our goal is.
Speaker 11: That's what that's that's what the expectations are from the Seaport.
Speaker 11: Let's put some hands together for MS flow j sign.
Speaker 11: Have a seat, have a seat, whatever you want to
Speaker 11: say it, wherever you want to say it.
Speaker 2: How you doing.
Speaker 8: I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if people know this, but you're from
Speaker 1: the Seaport. You grew up about three outside of here
Speaker 1: in Savannah, Georgia.
Speaker 12: Flying.
Speaker 2: That's what we do with the Seaport.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, how do you balance the
Speaker 1: two because obviously you're good at this rap game.
Speaker 2: You play basketball at an elite level.
Speaker 1: What's the schedule how do you find time to because
Speaker 1: basketball you're on a basketball scholarship, but you still this
Speaker 1: is your passion also, So how do you balance that?
Speaker 12: I mean it is hard, but I mean it's not impossible, right,
Speaker 12: You just gotta It's just time management. But I know
Speaker 12: in the summer, I got to take full advantage of
Speaker 12: my time in music, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 12: I just try to go full throttle while still working
Speaker 12: out and trying to get better in the off season
Speaker 12: because like during the season, Coach Mokey like, all right,
Speaker 12: this is my.
Speaker 13: Time, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 12: That was kind of that was kind of our like,
Speaker 12: you know, that was kind of hard deal. Like, you know,
Speaker 12: you give me everything you got in the season. In
Speaker 12: the summer, I'm gonna let you rock and do your music.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, tell us the story.
Speaker 1: I saw you over at Cannes and you was telling
Speaker 1: the story that you had a concert one night. You
Speaker 1: had to do the concert, but you had to fly back,
Speaker 1: got back earlier in the morning, you were sleeping, you
Speaker 1: were tired, but you know you had to get it
Speaker 1: because Coach Mokey was gonna be on yo.
Speaker 2: You know what had you not?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 12: No, So what happened was Rod Wave. He gave me
Speaker 12: that like the chance to open up for him. In Atlanta,
Speaker 12: So we had a game that night. The next day
Speaker 12: after games, we always have off days. Flew to Atlanta
Speaker 12: on my off day and then I drove back seven
Speaker 12: hours to go to br Right and like I'm already knowing.
Speaker 14: It's a stigma of.
Speaker 12: Like, nah, she can't do both for real, Like you
Speaker 12: know what I'm saying. So I don't even want to
Speaker 12: give people a thought to even be like, oh, she
Speaker 12: came to practice and she was tired. When I came
Speaker 12: to prite, I was like bouncing off the walls for real,
Speaker 12: because I knew that I had to come in and
Speaker 12: kill you know what I'm saying. And I was the
Speaker 12: first one in the gym last went out like always.
Speaker 12: So I mean my mindset, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 12: I think it's more mind over matter. I think your
Speaker 12: mind can make you do things that your body sometimes
Speaker 12: won't allow when you determine, And that's how I feel
Speaker 12: like I work all the time.
Speaker 10: You know what, we all have dreams as when we're
Speaker 10: growing up as kids. Obviously, my dream I wanted to
Speaker 10: be an NFL player. One of your dreams, I'm sure
Speaker 10: is to play in the w NBA where you continue
Speaker 10: to your path as far as I don't I don't
Speaker 10: want to work the right way actually wanting to rap
Speaker 10: as well and be able to balance both at the
Speaker 10: highest level.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it'll be easier, honestly, because you know,
Speaker 12: I don't have much commitment.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 12: With school, you got you got school first of all,
Speaker 12: then you got tutoring sessions and all of that, and
Speaker 12: you got weights and you got all the other you know,
Speaker 12: requirements of the athlete, practice everything. So I think it'll
Speaker 12: be easier, you know what I'm saying, to be able
Speaker 12: to build my schedule how I want to do. My
Speaker 12: goal is to like play an arena during the day
Speaker 12: and then sell out that same arena at night, like
Speaker 12: playing basketball.
Speaker 13: So that's what what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: That's like, if you have to have worked that out
Speaker 1: with the coach, I don't know if she's gonna be
Speaker 1: going for that one.
Speaker 7: She better go.
Speaker 2: When did you realize that you could rap?
Speaker 12: When I was on America's Got Talent? I was on
Speaker 12: America's Got Talent when I was about fourteen, and I
Speaker 12: got the Golden buzzer and like Simon Cowell came to
Speaker 12: the back and he was like, you know, one.
Speaker 6: Day you could be a superstar.
Speaker 12: And I'm like, but I'm like, that's samic Cowe, Like
Speaker 12: he don't even like singers for real life. So him
Speaker 12: telling like a young black girl that she can like
Speaker 12: he sees some type of super start powering her, that
Speaker 12: kind of just you know, just gave me the confidence
Speaker 12: that I could do it. Because like right before America's
Speaker 12: Got Talent, I was on the rap game with Jamaine
Speaker 12: It Free and I lost, and so that was like
Speaker 12: when I lost that, I went into my room and
Speaker 12: I just wrote all day.
Speaker 13: And then America Got Talent called.
Speaker 12: And I was ready for the opportunity and I got
Speaker 12: that validation that I kind of needed as a fourteen
Speaker 12: year old. And ever since then, nobody could tell me
Speaker 12: nothing for sure.
Speaker 1: Our last guest of the night, guys, he really doesn't
Speaker 1: need any introduction. You heard me mentioning on several occasions.
Speaker 1: He was the guy that raised me. He was the
Speaker 1: guy that I wanted to be the most, like my
Speaker 1: brother Sterling Shark.
Speaker 2: I was a real big fan of the show.
Speaker 15: Until I had to follow the discussion about angle. My
Speaker 15: religion went around me to be around people bad. So
Speaker 15: but I'm glad to be here. Do you realize I
Speaker 15: grew up with him, but tonight was the first time
Speaker 15: I met him.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Yeah, And I've always been a big fan. And we
Speaker 15: say that a lot, but you know, guys that have
Speaker 15: a passion for what they do.
Speaker 2: It ain't about money.
Speaker 15: It's not about cars or diamonds, although we have them.
Speaker 15: I enjoyed watching you play and do what you did.
Speaker 15: Now the antics I probably could have did without, but
Speaker 15: but I really did enjoy you as a player.
Speaker 2: I really appreciate the way you play. Thank you.
Speaker 10: I appreciate that coming from and this is one of
Speaker 10: the things, if you, if you, for those of you
Speaker 10: that watch when I played, Obviously I was vilified through
Speaker 10: the mainstream media because of my style of play with
Speaker 10: the antics and having the but to get the credit
Speaker 10: from my peers and those that came before me.
Speaker 7: You don't know how much that means.
Speaker 2: Definitely wanted the best ever do definitely wanted.
Speaker 1: A lot of times people ask us ask me, They
Speaker 1: ask you, man, how much of what you'll say, how
Speaker 1: much of what your brothers say about your grandparents, what
Speaker 1: your grandfather said, what your grandmother said, how much of
Speaker 1: what he's saying did they actually.
Speaker 15: Say, I'm gonna do it this way. For those of
Speaker 15: you who have grown up in a I'm gonna say
Speaker 15: a black church. You know, when they talk about Christians
Speaker 15: and Jesus the shepherd and the sheep smell alike. Whatever
Speaker 15: he says, he got it from somewhere. He didn't come
Speaker 15: up with it on his own. So when he says,
Speaker 15: my grandma used to say, doesn't so she actually did
Speaker 15: say it.
Speaker 2: When he said, you know.
Speaker 15: My grandfather used to say this, definitely used to say it.
Speaker 15: So Cam and I had a moment backstage and I
Speaker 15: was sitting in the audience listening to Cam and he
Speaker 15: said something that I've been saying for years that I
Speaker 15: never thought anybody heard. But obviously he felt the same way.
Speaker 15: And if you look at Tiger Woods and Venus and
Speaker 15: Serena and Shannon Sharp and Sterling Sharp, and I don't
Speaker 15: know Chad's background, so I'm going to leave him out.
Speaker 15: But the successful people that came from nowhere were told
Speaker 15: what to do. What does Richard Williams know about playing tennis?
Speaker 15: But we have Venus and Serena. What in the world
Speaker 15: did Earl Woods ever know about playing golf? But he
Speaker 15: gave us Tiger Woods. I will say this, my brother
Speaker 15: and I have never had a fight.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 15: He used to cheat and I used to beat him down,
Speaker 15: but we never had a fight. The only time my
Speaker 15: brother told me what he wasn't going to do was
Speaker 15: that he wasn't going to go to Savannah State College.
Speaker 15: And I said, that's good, because I'm on the way.
Speaker 15: I'm leaving Columbia. I was at school at South Carolina.
Speaker 15: I'm leaving, bro, You're not going to the army. That's
Speaker 15: not going to happen. The only time he and I
Speaker 15: ever had a disagreement. I have never, in my fifty
Speaker 15: nine years on this earth, tried to be his father.
Speaker 15: But we were always taught that if you have to
Speaker 15: look past your own dinner table to find a role model,
Speaker 15: there's something going on in your home. I only wanted
Speaker 15: him Bobby Dandridge, his nickname was mister Clutch. We had
Speaker 15: Frank o'harris and Tony Dorset. I wanted him to look
Speaker 15: at his own dinner table and be like, remember, it's
Speaker 15: the shepherd and the sheep thing. I never told him
Speaker 15: what to do. I never tried to instruct him, I
Speaker 15: never led him. I lived my life, but The wonderful
Speaker 15: thing and for those of you who have kids, you
Speaker 15: know this. The wonderful thing is he was watching and
Speaker 15: I am so proud. I'm proud of that guy right
Speaker 15: there because I'm proud of Chad because the perception the
Speaker 15: persona and who he really is is actually two totally
Speaker 15: different people. You don't realize how hard it is for
Speaker 15: him to come out here and do that.
Speaker 2: That ain't who he is, That is not who he is.
Speaker 15: I'm ruining it for you and for him to He
Speaker 15: didn't go through anything. He's led by a higher power
Speaker 15: that put.
Speaker 2: Him where he wanted to be.
Speaker 15: And what he went through on TV, he needed to
Speaker 15: go through that so he could get here. And sometimes
Speaker 15: many many times in a family, you go through things
Speaker 15: that are hurtful. But he had to go through that
Speaker 15: to get to hear and he had to be here
Speaker 15: to get him. And those two together are doing some
Speaker 15: really good stuff.
Speaker 2: They're fun to watch.
Speaker 15: They they talk about really good things. Not the antal part,
Speaker 15: but they talk about really good things. And I'm very
Speaker 15: proud of both of them. When we did the same things.
Speaker 15: When we both played football, we could talk football. When
Speaker 15: we both did TV, we could talk TV. I played golf,
Speaker 15: he doesn't. So we don't have anything in common right now,
Speaker 15: but we can still find out how each one of
Speaker 15: us how we're doing. And I'm very proud of how
Speaker 15: he handled the Skip situation.
Speaker 2: He almost he almost lost it.
Speaker 15: The the the Afro American almost came out. I know
Speaker 15: you saw it when the glasses went on the table, Scalp.
Speaker 2: I'm in an Afrot Hall of fame.
Speaker 15: I was like, I said to myself, that is the
Speaker 15: end of the Sharps on TV. That's it, because I
Speaker 15: knew what was gonna come next. And I was like, Skip,
Speaker 15: I hope you can fight, but no, I say that
Speaker 15: in jest. I never do. I never thought he would
Speaker 15: lose control. I was really shocked that he yelled and screamed.
Speaker 15: But he yelled and screamed not because of what Skip said.
Speaker 15: He yelled and screamed because he was so hurt that
Speaker 15: he's someone he liked and trusted would say or do
Speaker 15: that to him, and he would never say this. I'm
Speaker 15: not on TV. I don't do anyone else's media at
Speaker 15: all except PGA Tour Golf. I go on their show,
Speaker 15: but I don't do anybody else's because you can't ask
Speaker 15: me about him because I'm not going to give you
Speaker 15: anything about him. Do I like his success? You're gonna
Speaker 15: have to use your own imagination. Do I think he
Speaker 15: is doing the right thing. You're gonna have to use
Speaker 15: your imagination. I do not talk about him. Everybody goes.

Speaker 1: mister Rick Ross.
Speaker 17: What's saying and what's that? And what's that and what's that.
Speaker 17: I'm proud of y'all. Man, y'all make so noise to
Speaker 17: these soon right here. Man, I had you on the podcast.
Speaker 1: You're one of my first guests on Club Sha and
Speaker 1: you was telling the story how you was always a hustler,
Speaker 1: that you would aay for a little extra money. You
Speaker 1: was washing cars, but for a little extra money. A
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rearrange your consents. I'm gonna put them banks
Speaker 1: in there in alphabetical orders, all this, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: all this stuff. You always had the entremrepreneur skill. You
Speaker 1: always had the ability to foresight to see, like, you
Speaker 1: know what, homie gonna like this.
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. Take it to that next level.
Speaker 16: Whatever you got going on, whoever your business partner saw surprising,
Speaker 16: take them to that next level. You see, I got
Speaker 16: my brand up here. I want to try yours as well.
Speaker 16: But that's what it's all about. I got my homie,
Speaker 16: Jeremy Slippery Soap he in here tonight. So it's just
Speaker 16: all about always sharing that platform with my team, and
Speaker 16: that's what we do. We all see the progress, we
Speaker 16: all grow. You look back a decade later.
Speaker 10: God damn, listen, you gotta think, well, we go, we
Speaker 10: go way back by, we go way back, way back.
Speaker 10: So I'm trying to think when I think about artists today,
Speaker 10: how important do you think it is for them to
Speaker 10: build their brand the way you have outside of the
Speaker 10: music industry. But the thing is you had the success
Speaker 10: to be able to do it through music, which made
Speaker 10: the transition that much easier. Right, So how do you
Speaker 10: answer that question. It's one thing about building a brand,
Speaker 10: but you got to be good at the first part.
Speaker 16: That is your profession, right right, what we all got
Speaker 16: to accept and be realistic about it. It's like going
Speaker 16: to the league. Everybody won't make it to the Hall
Speaker 16: of Fame you being an artist. Everybody may not know
Speaker 16: how to go out and really become that product or
Speaker 16: sell products. It's a lot of huge artists that could
Speaker 16: sell records, but the young kids don't want to dress
Speaker 16: like them, so they can't sell clothes, They can't sell shoes.
Speaker 6: Nigga won't even wear they.
Speaker 2: Socks, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 16: So everybody can't do everything, But what you do want
Speaker 16: to make clear is the opportunities that are out there
Speaker 16: So if you're a young athlete, you know what I mean.
Speaker 16: It's the NIO, the game changing right now. But it's
Speaker 16: all about making sure you understand you are a business.
Speaker 16: You the CEO your life, and every day you wake up,
Speaker 16: you run it just like you don't want to run
Speaker 16: your business.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, the next guy that is coming to
Speaker 1: the stage is a Houston rap legend.
Speaker 10: Hold on, I gotta I got to use the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Boy, you got you got kids like an old person.
Speaker 9: I got a pepe.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, all.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm sorry, Lord, have mercy, he said, I go
Speaker 1: through this.
Speaker 2: He ain't got nobody on you good? You know you're good.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling there for my.
Speaker 7: Home in Chad.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what's up. What's what's up? Everybody? What's up? Houston?
Speaker 2: That's good? Did you fly in for this or you here? Now?
Speaker 6: I'm here, I'm local.
Speaker 7: My daughter is at Prairie View four.
Speaker 1: What's been circulating lately is that Tyreek racing no allows Tyree.
Speaker 18: I don't know what much more attention that he needs.
Speaker 18: I mean, he already has enough attention as it is.
Speaker 18: But he's not beating nor allows. I don't care what
Speaker 18: it is. What it is. He like, we did a
Speaker 18: We made a bet like probably three years ago. He
Speaker 18: said he would give me like ten steps. It was
Speaker 18: like nine yards, and we raised one hundred, one hundred yards.
Speaker 18: He barely made up a yard. If I get a
Speaker 18: good start, I can beat Tyreek. And that's not that's
Speaker 18: no cap. That's just me being realistic and understanding who
Speaker 18: I am and what my ability.
Speaker 1: You believe if you believe you got a great start,
Speaker 1: if I if I were, if you got a speed
Speaker 1: coach and says, okay, oh Joe, we're gonna work with
Speaker 1: you for three months.
Speaker 7: And at the end of ojo No, he ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 1: But at the end of those three months and it says, okay,
Speaker 1: you race Tyreek what you want to race him? At
Speaker 1: a forty sixty one hundred what you want to raise?
Speaker 18: He has no chance in the hundred because I'm one
Speaker 18: of those back you want you unwind once. Yeah, I
Speaker 18: pick up at the end fifty sixty. That's very competitive.
Speaker 18: But if I get a good start, he gonna have
Speaker 18: a problem. He's gonna have a problem. But he's not
Speaker 18: beating no, allows that's not no.
Speaker 2: Why do you why do you think he keeps challenging
Speaker 2: No Allows.
Speaker 18: I don't know what much more attention that he needs.
Speaker 6: No, but it's not possible.
Speaker 18: He's not about to He's not about to beat an
Speaker 18: Olympic gold medalist and nothing.
Speaker 2: Oh shoe think he could beat him in a fifty?
Speaker 18: Ojo, ain't beating me in a fifty? Tyreek can be No,
Speaker 18: he's not beating him in a fifty. It's about a mindset.
Speaker 18: There's as football players, Like I said, Tyreek is good
Speaker 18: football speed. He no hands down, He's one of the
Speaker 18: fastest in the NFL. And there are some guys that
Speaker 18: will probably challenge him on that right. He didn't raise
Speaker 18: DK Metcalf. Why if you're that fa you're that fast?
Speaker 18: Like race Dk Magan. That's Mark, he's Goodwin, who was
Speaker 18: a track guy, Olympic guy. Why aren't you racing these guys?
Speaker 2: Is avery word that he just ran the fastest forty man?
Speaker 18: You bit en off a little bit more than you
Speaker 18: can choose when you're messing with no Allows, Like, what
Speaker 18: is it?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 18: You're trying to get out of this, but you're not
Speaker 18: beating You're not beating No Allows.
Speaker 2: You think he's been No Allows?
Speaker 10: I said, in the fifty to sixty because he's not
Speaker 10: because you get out so fast and we've been going
Speaker 10: at this for years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not even faster than me. I would have
Speaker 2: admit you're quicker than me.
Speaker 9: You're not even a better receiver.
Speaker 10: Be stopped playing with me, Blake, I'm ocho, Blake it me.
Speaker 18: I'm gonna go sit over this on this couch with that.
Speaker 18: This the yellow jacket couch over here. It's a yellow
Speaker 18: jacket couch over here.

Speaker 9: It's three hundred of y'all. That's only one of me.
Speaker 7: Nigga, that's all good.
Speaker 10: That's good now, Like I said, and I look better
Speaker 10: than you.
Speaker 9: No, not happening.
Speaker 2: Not happening.

Speaker 10: An iconic figure in the Houston area, a legendary player
Speaker 10: for the Houston Texans, a Hall of Famer who lives
Speaker 10: in Houston. Now, don't get confused by way of Miami

Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure they showed on your highlight clip
Speaker 1: that fight.
Speaker 2: I forgot that was coming.
Speaker 1: I had only met I had only met you once
Speaker 1: I came here. Early in your career and uh way,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, I think I think Cool
Speaker 1: Cool was the coach. He was the coach, and you
Speaker 1: were very quiet and you're still quite quiet, and I
Speaker 1: remember that happening, and I'm like, what did this man
Speaker 1: say to get him?
Speaker 2: He don't even talk, let hemone fight? What what did
Speaker 2: he say to get you? Sold?
Speaker 1: Like you're like, ef it, I'm in Liberty City right now,
Speaker 1: I'm swinging broke.
Speaker 19: It had been going on for about three years.
Speaker 2: Damn you let it build up that long. Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, it had been going on for about three years.
Speaker 17: Man.
Speaker 19: I never shared this story and nobody but because we
Speaker 19: all night cap up and give it.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: There you go?
Speaker 19: So, Chad, you remember club play Old Chrystal. Yeah, so man,
Speaker 19: this is no lie. Like they're driving up to the club.
Speaker 19: It's my little brother and Rudy. My brother's sitting in
Speaker 19: there passing passenger seat, Rudy's in the back seat.
Speaker 8: And.
Speaker 19: Brom pulling up in valet and they jump out the
Speaker 19: car while the cars moving right and I'm like, what
Speaker 19: the hell y'all doing? They was like, there you go.
Speaker 19: So I'm like, what are y'all talking about? Is Courtland.
Speaker 19: He's standing at the front door of the club. I
Speaker 19: didn't even see him. They wanted to get on him
Speaker 19: right then, and I'm like, nah, like, we're not doing that,
Speaker 19: you know what I'm saying. So that happened like a
Speaker 19: year prior. So I don't know, man, Like we was
Speaker 19: up twenty to nothing and I told cool, but I
Speaker 19: was like, hey, man, I'm finna beat his ass.
Speaker 1: Normally, coaches called plays for the player, the player called
Speaker 1: the play coach.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna beat his ass on one ready break.
Speaker 19: So that was just that was just it, man, Like,
Speaker 19: I just had enough of, you know, the stuff he
Speaker 19: was doing.
Speaker 1: So uh so it mainly chief shots, not so much talking.
Speaker 1: It was the chief thing talking. You could talk all day.
Speaker 1: I don't give it damn by talking. But it was
Speaker 1: the cheap things he would do after plays.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, y'all cool, Now, y'all cool, Now, y'all.
Speaker 8: Say, I don't know.
Speaker 19: I ain't never seen I seen him one time since
Speaker 19: that whole situation, so I don't.
Speaker 2: But after that, he ain't chief shot you no more. No,
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna do.
Speaker 9: That coaching coaching.
Speaker 10: First off, you know, I've been out here, I've been
Speaker 10: lobbying for a job, and I'm available.
Speaker 9: So like, listen, I'm in shape. If you need a
Speaker 9: set of extra legs, we need you.
Speaker 2: We can get a workout on Tuesday. You're ready.
Speaker 10: Swear to God, don't do me like that, because I'm
Speaker 10: trying to get out.
Speaker 7: Of the house.
Speaker 2: And we got somebody. We got somebody that gets you
Speaker 2: the ball.
Speaker 9: There we go that you do, Go ahead, I got
Speaker 9: a job, y'all.
Speaker 1: Coaching your wildest imaginations when you got drafted to this
Speaker 1: team at the first round draft pick and when rookie
Speaker 1: of the year you have a stellar career, did you
Speaker 1: ever imagine that you'd never come back and be the
Speaker 1: head coach?
Speaker 20: Never, Never, in my lifetime what I've imagined being the
Speaker 20: head coach of the Houston Texans, the team that drafted me.
Speaker 20: But that it was that surreal moment, right It's I
Speaker 20: had other options, other teams that were vuying, but it
Speaker 20: was like, man to go.
Speaker 2: Back to Houston where it all started, where it.
Speaker 20: All started, Like struggling a little bit, like it meant
Speaker 20: more to come back home to Houston.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't coach.
Speaker 10: Obviously, you've been around the game of football for a
Speaker 10: very long time. For those that are on the outside
Speaker 10: looking in, I don't think they understand how special a
Speaker 10: season that was for you to have. Obviously you understand
Speaker 10: the difficulty when you draft the rookie quarterback and understanding
Speaker 10: you have a program that is trying to build itself
Speaker 10: back to winning consistently and to.
Speaker 9: Be able to have a successful.
Speaker 10: Season, obviously not winning a championship, but still having a
Speaker 10: successful season knowing that you can build off of that.
Speaker 10: Do you understand how great your season was last year?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 20: I do understand it all, Like it all starts with
Speaker 20: the like you said, the rookie quarterback. Everybody now they
Speaker 20: expect rookies to come in and just ball out from
Speaker 20: the start. That doesn't happen, especially at the quarterback position.
Speaker 20: You got to have a special, special person and to
Speaker 20: do that. And you know, we were fortunate enough to
Speaker 20: get CJ at number two, and this kid.
Speaker 9: Is special, yes, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 20: You know, he's fun to work with. But and he
Speaker 20: didn't start off that way like we didn't. We started
Speaker 20: off with a rough season, like we had to go
Speaker 20: through some growing pains, and he learned a lot, our
Speaker 20: team learned a lot of how we had to play
Speaker 20: to win games, and that growing, that growth process throughout
Speaker 20: the season. That made it even more special to know
Speaker 20: we didn't just come out just beating people. And I
Speaker 20: told our guys too, you know, we talk about how
Speaker 20: special of a season it was.
Speaker 2: You look up.
Speaker 20: We had I think it was ten games that were
Speaker 20: in the last minute of the game. We were right
Speaker 20: in the game, and I think we won seven with
Speaker 20: those ten in the last minute of the game. So
Speaker 20: that just shows the margin for era in this league.
Speaker 20: It's still tight even though it's a great season. But man,
Speaker 20: I tell our guys, you got to you have to
Speaker 20: work hard. You gotta grind those wins, and you gotta
Speaker 20: be smart in those situational moments to close games out.
Speaker 1: Coach, but you understand you were a rookie head coach.
Speaker 1: You had a rookie quarterback. The expectations this year, given
Speaker 1: what happened last year, are a lot different than they
Speaker 1: were last year.
Speaker 2: Going in. You mentioned CJ. Came in and played unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Tank Dale, Nico Collins, you signed us, I mean, you
Speaker 1: traded for Stefan Diggs, your defense, Stingley Junior, Will Anderson Jr.
Speaker 1: What are your expectations from this team?
Speaker 8: I hear you now.
Speaker 20: I still tell our guys our expectations is just to
Speaker 20: get better every day. Like I tell like, we can't
Speaker 20: get everybody know when we suit up like you guys
Speaker 20: have like everybody wants to go win it all right,
Speaker 20: that's always the goal. That's why we do what we do.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 20: We're trying to go get that Lombardi, but we don't
Speaker 20: get there overnight. So enjoy the process of just.
Speaker 2: Getting better every day.
Speaker 20: And when we look up in February and we're there
Speaker 20: playing for that Lombardy, that's it's gonna make it.
Speaker 2: Especially.
Speaker 7: There's something I always wanted to ask you.
Speaker 10: There was an issue obviously with Brian Brian Brian Florey
Speaker 10: as in tour and the way he he talked to
Speaker 10: him obviously Rubb too the wrong way. And I just
Speaker 10: want to know, how do you navigate being able to
Speaker 10: coach certain players certain ways? And how do you approach it?
Speaker 10: Because you can coach some players you can coach hard.
Speaker 10: You know, you understand those of the Bill like that,
Speaker 10: you can coach them a little harder. Some of them
Speaker 10: you got to pat him on the back and guide
Speaker 10: them how have you been able to do that with
Speaker 10: your with your players?
Speaker 20: Yeah, with it, man, it's a great question, right. I
Speaker 20: was just talking to one of my coaches about that
Speaker 20: earlier today.
Speaker 6: Man, you have to have a.
Speaker 2: Relationship with guys.
Speaker 20: Like, if you don't have a relationship with guys and
Speaker 20: you don't know how that guy is going to respond, right,
Speaker 20: some guys I could I could coach hard.
Speaker 6: Some guys I know, like, man, I can't.
Speaker 20: Get it out of him, but I don't need to
Speaker 20: go as hard with him. I just got to tell him, Hey, man,
Speaker 20: you're doing a great job. Hey, keep it going, young fella.
Speaker 20: We're gonna get there. But if you don't establish that
Speaker 20: relationship outside of football, just got to sit down. You
Speaker 20: gotta eat with guys, You gotta meet with guys, just
Speaker 20: talk to them one on one, like what's going on
Speaker 20: outside of football so you can really get to know
Speaker 20: that young man, and what's going on in is life
Speaker 20: Like that's how you are able to relate to guys
Speaker 20: and coach Like now, once you get that relationship, I
Speaker 20: can coach them up hard, right, But everybody, you can't
Speaker 20: coach hard. Everybody don't need hard coaching. But as a coach.
Speaker 20: It's our job, right, And that's one thing I learned
Speaker 20: about coaching. I thought, man, when I finished playing, I
Speaker 20: thought I was gonna hop in, like, hey, Kyle, I
Speaker 20: can come coaching linebackers right now. But that's what I
Speaker 20: learned when I was in San France. I truly learned, like, man,
Speaker 20: you got every guy is different.
Speaker 2: How do you teach every guy?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 20: Every guy learns different, every guy you gotta explain things
Speaker 20: differently and they pick it up different. So for me,
Speaker 20: that's where I learned, like, man, you have to be
Speaker 20: adaptable as a coach, right, but you gotta know these
Speaker 20: guys outside of football, you.
Speaker 2: Know, go ahead give it up to.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, sometimes coaches try to hide hard
Speaker 1: coaching behind disrespect.
Speaker 2: It's like, if I'm.
Speaker 1: Working for you, I want you to coach may have
Speaker 1: and I want you to say what I'm doing wrong.
Speaker 1: But there's a very very fine line between hard coaching
Speaker 1: and disrespect. Now, you guys have to understand, that's a
Speaker 1: grown man. You're talking to this in college. He's not
Speaker 1: trying to get to the NFL. He's already here. He's
Speaker 1: not in high school trying to get to college. So
Speaker 1: those guys. You can coach, you can coach. I mean
Speaker 1: when we grew up, coaches cust this out all kind
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 2: You do that, now you're going to turn a guy
Speaker 2: off for the guy might want to fight you.
Speaker 20: He might want to fight you, or he might just
Speaker 20: leave this guy. It's just it's a different, different error.
Speaker 20: And I never like try to cross the lines of
Speaker 20: cursing guys out. I feel like if I have to
Speaker 20: curse you out, like I got the wrong guy correct
Speaker 20: first off, right, I don't. We don't have time for that. Like,
Speaker 20: we're men, we're working together, and I tell our guys
Speaker 20: my first meeting is like, this is what you can
Speaker 20: expect our coaches. Our coach is going to be respectful.
Speaker 20: They're going to tell you the truth, and they're going
Speaker 20: to coach everybody in his room, right because they care.
Speaker 7: Your success is their success.
Speaker 20: So we have to find that common ground to work
Speaker 20: together for us all to be successful.
Speaker 1: You played for coach Saban, I don't know your high
Speaker 1: school coach, and you played for Cool. What are some
Speaker 1: of the things what's your what's domko Ryan's coaching style?
Speaker 1: Did you take a little bit from coach Saban? Because
Speaker 1: as hard as he is. He does a great job
Speaker 1: of patting the players on the back even when they
Speaker 1: make mistakes.
Speaker 20: And with my coaching style, man, I took a lot
Speaker 20: from a lot of different coaches that I was I
Speaker 20: was around. I think you know it all starts from
Speaker 20: I spent the most time around Robert Solom okay, right,
Speaker 20: and in that coaching profession, like I just learned from him, Like, man,
Speaker 20: you you got to bring great energy every day, right,
Speaker 20: and you got to be able to relate to all
Speaker 20: these guys in the same room. How can you relate
Speaker 20: to them like storytelling like whatever, keeping in light with
Speaker 20: jokes like it's it's a fine line. Just coaching and
Speaker 20: all the guy even Wave Wave Wave Felders, Man, he
Speaker 20: was your head coach. He would come into the meeting room.
Speaker 20: Wave would just tell a joke everybody in the room,
Speaker 20: and he talked to you. He always told a story
Speaker 20: about you, like hey, man, Like we had a guy
Speaker 20: on scout team. I told him, don't worry about covering him.
Speaker 20: He's better than the guys that are playing. So it
Speaker 20: was always Wave found a way, in a playful way
Speaker 20: to get guys attention, draw guys in. So I think
Speaker 20: you draw me in you get their attend to you
Speaker 20: relate to the guys.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 20: Also with saving, I know he's hard on guys, but
Speaker 20: the only way you can be hard on him is
Speaker 20: you got to love him.
Speaker 2: Too, right.
Speaker 20: You gotta got man, you have to and guys got
Speaker 20: to know. For me, I had a strength condition to coach.
Speaker 20: He called me as soon as I got into coaching.
Speaker 20: He was like, Demiko, players do not care how much
Speaker 20: you know until they know how much you care about them.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 20: And so that was the one thing that's always stuck
Speaker 20: to me. Like I tell our guy, man, I care
Speaker 20: about you as a as a man first and foremost.
Speaker 2: It's football gonna we're gonna get to the football.
Speaker 20: I'm gonna correct you, I'm gonna coach you up, But man,
Speaker 20: I care about you as a man being successful after
Speaker 20: football is over. Like, I want you to be a
Speaker 20: great husband, great father, great leader in the community, because
Speaker 20: that's what's gonna last.
Speaker 9: Yeah, your approach to the game of football.
Speaker 10: Obviously when you played, I'm not sure if you had
Speaker 10: any superstitions or not. As for myself, there was a
Speaker 10: certain routine that I stuck to, and to me, I
Speaker 10: felt this routine that I stuck to during my playing
Speaker 10: days would probably give me the success that I wanted
Speaker 10: despite putting the work throughout the week. Now that you're
Speaker 10: a coach and you played, obviously, do coaches have routines
Speaker 10: and superstitions once you get to that point as a
Speaker 10: leader of men, or you just allow the work that
Speaker 10: you put into in the week to take care of itself.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think you fall into those kind of superstitions.
Speaker 20: You kind of fall into them because it's like, oh man,
Speaker 20: we smoked them this week, Like, hey, we got whatever
Speaker 20: I did, whatever I ate last week, whatever whatever I
Speaker 20: listened to on the way till to stay like run
Speaker 20: it all back, right, But I don't believe in that.
Speaker 20: That's that's the reason why, Right, I think you just
Speaker 20: get into a habit. But I don't believe in the superstitions.
Speaker 20: And you know, but sometimes you get off this routine, right.
Speaker 20: It's routine is a routine a lot of coaches fall into,
Speaker 20: whether it's working out before the game, running stadiums, or
Speaker 20: ready to hitting the treadmill right certain things. For me,
Speaker 20: my deal is I'm watching film up until the last
Speaker 20: minute before I have to go out, Like I'm trying
Speaker 20: to find another advantage, Like I'm looking at third down again,
Speaker 20: I'm looking at two minutes for as.
Speaker 2: Long as I can.
Speaker 9: They come now, hey, coach, we gotta go.
Speaker 20: It's like I'm trying to get that edge up until
Speaker 20: the last minute.
Speaker 1: We're talking about the rooney rude. There's a lot about that,
Speaker 1: and you had great success. Were you ever concerned because
Speaker 1: you see so many black coaches like go ten fifteen
Speaker 1: years before they even get an opportunity to go interview
Speaker 1: for a head coach.
Speaker 8: You didn't have to wait that long.
Speaker 1: You had about a two year two year once you
Speaker 1: became the DC at San Francisco. Your neighbor missed immediately
Speaker 1: went into that pool, so you didn't have to wait long.
Speaker 2: How do you tell your brother and.
Speaker 1: For the black fellow black coaches like just to be
Speaker 1: patient when some of them have been patient for ten
Speaker 1: fifteen years.
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, that's you know, I think for me being
Speaker 20: in a position I am, man, I'm standing on the
Speaker 20: shoulders of guys who.
Speaker 8: Paid the way before me. Right, A lot of.
Speaker 20: A lot of coaches who grind it and they didn't
Speaker 20: get that opportunity. I know one coach in particular, you know,
Speaker 20: coach Bobby Turner, yep, and Coach Turner, that was my
Speaker 20: role model. I was there in San fran That's that
Speaker 20: guy looked up to the og like he's been coaching
Speaker 20: for over thirty years. Need never got the opportunity. And
Speaker 20: more I know he deserves the opportunity. So I always
Speaker 20: tell Coach Turner, man, I love you, I thank you
Speaker 20: for you provided me this opportunity to become a head coach.
Speaker 20: And when I became a head coach, like man, I
Speaker 20: got to do this for you. Coach t I gotta
Speaker 20: be successful for you. And it's the same thing I
Speaker 20: tell all other guys like Man, I'm representing a lot
Speaker 20: of guys right who are still trying to get that opportunity,
Speaker 20: a lot of guys who are coming after me to
Speaker 20: get the opportunity, and I just I want to represent
Speaker 20: the right way.
Speaker 10: A good thing about it, the fact that we get
Speaker 10: so few opportunities to be a leader of black men,
Speaker 10: be in a position of power. Does it add any
Speaker 10: more pressure to you as a head coach or do
Speaker 10: you just don't even think about it and just do
Speaker 10: what you need to do.
Speaker 20: It doesn't add pressure to me because I know, at
Speaker 20: the end of the day, it's about doing the job
Speaker 20: the right way right. It's surrounding myself with the right people,
Speaker 20: right coaching staff, the right players. It's not just about me,
Speaker 20: it's about my entire support staff, everybody in that building
Speaker 20: helping me to be successful.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 20: I can't do it by myself, so it doesn't add
Speaker 20: any pressure to me. It's just I know, I know
Speaker 20: the task at hand, and it's just about us going
Speaker 20: out dominating the process every day, being as as good
Speaker 20: as we can be every single day, getting a little
Speaker 20: bit better, and we're gonna the wins, the results, all
Speaker 20: that stuff will show up when we work the right way.
Speaker 2: I think the question that everybody wants to know, you'll
Speaker 2: know what.
Speaker 8: You're still beefing?
Speaker 7: Goddamn right, he has.
Speaker 13: That time out.
Speaker 14: I know why he acts like I'm in the dog house,
Speaker 14: but he's in the dog house.
Speaker 7: Nah, we be beefing.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 7: It's something that's really funny.
Speaker 10: You know how you look at instagrams, you look at Twitter,
Speaker 10: you look at just pictures in Jodle. When it comes
Speaker 10: to couples, you ever notice how they always show you
Speaker 10: the good. Everybody's always smiling, everybody's always fucking happy. They
Speaker 10: don't never tell you about the motherfucking ups and the
Speaker 10: motherfucking downs.
Speaker 14: Why you gotta curse so much? Why you gotta curse
Speaker 14: so much?
Speaker 7: Because I'm mad, my dad. I'm trying.
Speaker 10: I'm trying to share my experience to let you know
Speaker 10: that it ain't always fucking happy, it ain't always fucking smiling.
Speaker 8: She makes me.
Speaker 10: Fucking mad, and I love them, right, I love her.
Speaker 7: That's that's my that's my dog. But she in a doghouse.
Speaker 2: Well, if you love a give her kiss.
Speaker 7: I don't know what. I can't kiss him.
Speaker 14: I got chaffstick on and he's been smoking cigars, been
Speaker 14: smoking cigas.
Speaker 2: You don't like cigars.
Speaker 10: So it's funny when we met. When we met, I
Speaker 10: was smoking cigars.
Speaker 8: It was no problem, and it wasn't no problem.
Speaker 14: You brush your teeth and you had a mint in
Speaker 14: the back of your mouth. Now you got complacent, right,
Speaker 14: and you think you're supposed to just kiss on me
Speaker 14: without doing all that. So that's not love. That's not love.
Speaker 7: If I got it, if I got.
Speaker 10: To do all this extra stuff, you were doing the
Speaker 10: extra ship.
Speaker 13: But when we first met, but I got.
Speaker 2: You now, So it's.
Speaker 13: So crazy.
Speaker 14: Thing is Chad has always been my celebrity crush. Like, no,

Speaker 21: want to fuck with you genuinely. And that's why I
Speaker 21: get like a lot of my features, Like people be
Speaker 21: thinking like I know he paid for this, he paid
Speaker 21: for that, bro, I don't be paying for nothing like
Speaker 21: niggas literally be looking at for me just out the
Speaker 21: strength just because of who I am and what type
Speaker 21: of genual.

Speaker 1: being a coach on the field.

Speaker 22: we're all trying to learn the basics. You know, I mean,
Speaker 22: obviously I'll have a little bit of a head start,
