Speaker 1: We got two talented brothers, NFL legends, Troy Jones Andrew Hawkins.

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: They're in the gaming. They got a whole lot of

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: stuff and in the games on TV now too. He

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: on TV and he'd be acting at everything and everything everything.

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean before me, I mean, can we just put

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: the shoes up? Can we put the shoes up?

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Out up?

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Just like hawks? And he invented Chelsea boots.

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 4: So I had to make sure I came right, because

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: it's okay, Mark, it's been business.

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: So the last time y'all were here, y'all had this

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: the the VR game, and y'all had Lamar Jackson on there.

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: After y'all left Super Bowl, I went out, I got

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: the VR, I bought the game. I damn near broke

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: something because when I was trying to throw it took

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: me a minute to figure out how to throw the football.

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I figured, I mean, I dam here through myself and

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: a controller like I got. I got so into it,

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: it's real.

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: You because I'm imagining you. It was yo.

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: I was.

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I was sweating. I'm over there dodging trying to throw

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: them things. I couldn't figure out how to so at

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: first I was just trying to, like like with the weed,

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: you just kind of do that in it, like you

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: really gotta throw it like you. I swear, Oh my mama,

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: you you you really have to try to throw that thing.

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I was overthrowing it. I was underthrowing it. I was like, damn,

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: this is a lot harder than I thought. So shout out.

53

Speaker 1: First off, shout out to y'all. It's it's legit. It's

Speaker 5: You heard it here man anytime players, Yeah, put it on.

00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 5: And that's their response that what better marketing is that?

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: Because who knows what that experience is like better than you, guys.

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: We'll take a cut of it. If that's playing.

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: I pawork.

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: But how much has so the other day? Lamar Jackson?

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: He wins the MVP is the second one. Yeah, how

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: has from last year to this year? How has that

66
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: been going? With sales? I know you guys been busy.

67
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: Uh you've raised a ton of money, like talk about that?

68
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean to answer your first question, thanks are

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: going good with sales. We was able to cross a

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: million users in less than fifteen months, which is tough

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: and any consumer product, any gaming market. So shout out

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: to our team for that. And as far as Lamari obviously, yeah,

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: he's been on this ride all the way through. And

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: we we started out with a vision say each year

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: it was going to get better, you know, operating like athletes,

76
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: taking that mindset, applying it to the product, and it's

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: been It's been well received, man, I mean, people are

78
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: having fun. I would say the most exciting thing for

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: us is we just getting started, you know, like anything.

80
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: We were the first people to ever launch our first

81
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: fully licensed sports game, MVR. So now that we got

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: user data, now that we got people in the headset

83
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: giving feedback, you could take it up. Not because you

84
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: got that data, you know what to go back and

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: improve that we're focusing on applying thatt, I would go ahead.

86
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, the cool thing for us is

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: that people have been along the ride and the journey

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 5: with us, you know, I mean, we knew that we

89
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 5: had a.

90
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: Perspective that people wanted to see.

91
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 5: The tough part was obviously bringing it to life and

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: communicating it in a way where people understood what the

93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 5: proposition was. To your point, we just raised our series

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: A Round, which is led by Google, and our quest

95
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 5: is to be the go to place to build first

96
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: person sports. There's a level of access that fans have

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 5: never had, which is on the field that we felt

98
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 5: like as athletes we could provide. And the biggest tech

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: companies in the world have backed us and aligned with

100
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: us to bring that to life. And now you guys

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 5: know that that's no easy feet and we've done it

102
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 5: by being ourselves. We've done it by hiring a diverse team.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: We've done on it by hiring former athletes who you know,

104
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 5: might also be engineers, might also be incredible marketers, might

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: also be producers, along with the expertise of people who

106
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 5: have built sports games for a very long time, and

107
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: that has allowed us to accelerate to get to the

108
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 5: point that we are so quickly.

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: I wish I was a STEM student. I could be

110
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: talking to y'all. I could be codd. I wish I

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: wish I was a STEM I could be stay in

112
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: your life. You don't want to, So my question is

113
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: this all right? Number one? When you talk about the

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: biggest money backers in in these spaces backing you guys,

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Number one, I want you guys both to tell me,

116
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: how does that make you feel to know that you're

117
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: the ones that people believe in, Because it's something to

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: be said when people like, man, I'm with you, dog,

119
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: but when they put their money behind you, that's a

120
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: different level of belief. And then also what's next. I

121
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: know we're talking about the gameplay the other things, but

122
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: it's always on the next evolution because you got to

123
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: stay in front of it because it's not the one

124
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: in front of you that you ever worry about, it's

125
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: the one behind you. That's why I bash you up

126
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: that you have to look out for I would say

127
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: for people to back us the way that they have.

128
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredibly humbling.

129
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: I know that's cliche, but we probably need to do

130
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: a better job of soaking in those moments like that

131
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 5: because sometimes we take it for granted, not because we

132
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 5: don't appreciate it, but because when you hear three hundred

133
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: no's from people who aren't google right right, that just

134
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 5: have an effect on you. Sure, and so it's like

135
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: you have to do so much to show and prove.

136
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: We've had to show them better than we could tell anybody.

137
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 5: And I think the thing that makes us special or

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 5: the thing that we're most proud of. And I let

139
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 5: Troy answer this question as well. But it's like, we've

140
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: done what we said we're going to do. And as athletes,

141
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: you don't get to the level you guys, you don't

142
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 5: get to what we're doing unless you have that condition, conviction,

143
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 5: you have that obsession, and your focus is not the

144
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: press releases. Your focus is not how people talk about you.

145
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 5: Your focus is not making sure when you come into

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 5: a room people want to bow down and kiss the ring.

147
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: Your focus is I said, I'm going to do something.

148
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: That's all I care about is making sure that I

149
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 5: do it, and over time, the right people will see

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: that and go along with the journey.

151
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: And I think that's what's happened for us. Yeah, I said,

152
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: I mean, basically that add on to what he said.

153
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: We're not taking that face value, right, So we go out,

154
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: we're talking about what we're going to do, and what

155
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: we've done is some skepticism to it, just being honest.

156
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: So like athletes, we kind of go into these room

157
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: with chips on our shoulder, and when you're the people

158
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: that believe in as we internalize that meaning like we

159
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: want to preview, right, you know, we think about our story.

160
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: You know, my journey is a quarterback Hawk's journey throughout

161
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: his playing career, underdogs who had to always work hard

162
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: and odds were against us. And it's kind of similar

163
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: to that. And as we think about what we're building

164
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: our venture and the people who believe in us, that

165
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: their family, they believe in a vision, they trust us

166
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: our team.

167
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Same thing.

168
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: Anyone who comes on this journey with us that that

169
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: has joined the company, we make sure that we do

170
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: we do right by them by making sure we're keeping

171
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: what's top of mind for the what's best for the

172
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: company top of mind, right, Like we're never making it

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: about Troy Hall, you know, so when we talk about things,

174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: it's always like, all right, what's best for the company.

175
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: What's going to make sure that everybody that's part of

176
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: this thing wins? And I think that's just a byproduct

177
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: of just being appreciative, you know what I mean of

178
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: them believing in us. And yeah, to this point, we

179
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: got to do a better job relash than it. Like

180
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: it's not easy, like it is. One percent of founder

181
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: founders that raise money are African American, right, So for

182
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 4: us to be in that you gotta you got to

183
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: give yourself fowers for that.

184
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: You gotta tell that story.

185
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: But the other side of it is like, we got

186
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: work to do and we know that if we win,

187
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: everybody wins behind us versus, you know, just being happy

188
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: like with that and being happy to be there.

189
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Type of type mindset, you know, so on on behalf

190
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: of like myself in Rome. I want to take out

191

194
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: This from both of us. You gotta do it like smoke.

195
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: He did you know twenty twenty two right.

196
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: That's both of us investment in the tech up series.

197
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: He's like half a cold, half a character. We're gonna

198
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: spend fifty dollars.

199
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: In the uber.

200
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: That's just trying to get to the bank. Put that

201
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: money into the account. You said one percent. Man, I'm

202
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: trying to be a part of us.

203
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

204
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to take us to one point one. You

205
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Hey, I'm a stim suit. I'm

206
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: in an arms So I got a question for you.

207
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: I know you're in the TV. Talk about some of

208
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: the TV some of the TV shows, movies, some of

209
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the some of the projects that you're working on or

210
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: have been in.

211
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean entertainment is obviously a big part of

212
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: the pie chart that I've gotten into after football, and

213
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 5: I think that's where Status Pro and Pro Era playing too,

214
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: and where I've gotten a lot of that knowledge of saying, Okay,

215
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 5: this is what I think fans will gravitate to because

216
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: I feel that reception and all the things that I've done.

217
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: So I'm out ESPN now as an NFL analyst. Obviously,

218
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 5: I produced, was an executive producer of hair Love, which

219
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: one I Oscar. Another executive producer of To Live and

220
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: Die and Live which was a dope movie that premiered

221
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 5: at sun Dance last year. Have a couple of projects

222
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 5: and developments and comedy projects. Worked at spring Hill Entertainment

223
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 5: for a long time before I left there to go

224
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 5: to the Status Pro full time, and then they invested into

225
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: the company. So I think what you're going to see

226
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 5: from sports technology and specifically what we're doing at Status Pro,

227
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 5: there's a lane where these worlds will merge, and that's

228
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 5: kind of what we've always envisioned of how do you

229
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 5: enhance the sports experience of fans, And we had to

230
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: find a thing that we're experts at and just drove

231
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 5: down in there.

232
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: We're not trying to be anybody else.

233
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: We're not trying to take away from when anybody else

234
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: is built from a gaming or entertainment or how they

235
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 5: you know, show up with fans. But for us, if

236
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: we can build an appetite for feeling, for seeing what

237
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 5: it's like to be on the field, we will always

238
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: be the leaders because that's something you only know if

239
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 5: you've been there.

240
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: That was our whole idea around the company. I love that.

241
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: I think the world is literally changing, like right in

242
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: front of us, because you know, we've just seen the goggles,

243
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: the things that people are just walking around normal and

244
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: stuff like this is normal. It's not it's not normal normal,

245
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you guys are definitely

246
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve. But like you guys have seen

247
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: this and now that everybody else is starting to catch up.

248
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: So I'm still in my mind like, Okay, how do

249
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: you guys continue to just grow and like what's the

250
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: next game or what's the next you know, or now

251
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: we're going to be able to be a wide receiver

252
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: where now you got people like Peanut running through the house,

253
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: like so it's saying, what is going to be that

254
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: next little part. I'm really excited to see what you

255
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: guys do because this was just last year that we

256
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: got introduced to this, right and in one year, like

257
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: you said, sixteen months, yeah, you guys have I'm over

258
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: a million, yeah, a million one point one million years. Yeah,

259
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: and like you guys are learning so much more from them.

260
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited.

261
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: I wanted out.

262
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: He didn't to tell me I don't have anything virtual.

263
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: I don't like it.

264
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 5: You didn't hand me that twenty four dollars to think.

265
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: That's true.

266
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: I tried to.

267
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: I try to make it up, you know what I mean.

268
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: But I want to know, like what's next? And so

269
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: like where do you guys see this going? For you

270
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: guys to your point in that length, we've.

271
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: Been in this space since twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, and

272
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: I think when you're obsession obsessing over something like you

273
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: think about you know, because we believed in it, we're

274
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: thinking about five, ten, fifteen years ahead.

275
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: So obviously we'll continue to scale.

276
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: The NFL product we'll be able to make it more

277
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 4: social where people can experience the game with their friends.

278
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: So what does it look like for you to build virtual.

279
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: Teams so you to hang out in stadiums and and

280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: just have unique experiences. Become a platform that way to

281
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 4: where you can't experience football in a number of ways

282
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: in the NFL product. But we want to go across

283
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: different sports too, So any and everything that's first person

284
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: sports we want to own. So that's basketball, that's baseball,

285
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: as boxing, as soccer. Right, the goal is to really

286
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: leverage what we've done in the NFL and continue to

287
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 4: carry this out through multiple sports, which is awesome.

288
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: People believe in the vision.

289
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: Obviously, technologies finally getting to the point where everybody's paying

290
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: attention and we're going to keep keep pushing forward.

291
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 5: It's cool because when Troy and I first met, which

292
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 5: was like I think the end of twenty sixteen or

293
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: early twenty seventeen, we spoke in terms of what was

294
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 5: coming in ten years, and we were like, yo, in

295
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 5: ten years, these big clunky headsets will be smaller.

296
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: There won't there'll be wireless.

297
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: There was no wireless HEAs at the time, and our

298
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: whole mindset was preparing for what the next ten years

299
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 5: was going to look like. It's crazy that was seven

300
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: years ago now and it doesn't feel like it was

301
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 5: that long.

302
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: But to your point of people walking.

303
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 5: Around and VR goggles and imagine where it's going to

304
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 5: be three fore years from now. So, just like an athlete,

305
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 5: when you get to the league or you've worked your

306
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 5: hardest to become who you are, you don't so much

307
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 5: focus on of like, oh what's next. You just get

308
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: better every day. You watch your film from the practice

309
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 5: before and you're like, man, I got to get that foot, Yeah,

310
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 5: I got straighten that out because I'm losing a step.

311
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 5: I got to make sure I get my hands on

312
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 5: this receiver sooner. And it's like you just start to

313
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: enhance because now you put yourself so far in front,

314
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 5: and if you keep getting better, you don't got to

315
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 5: worry about who's behind.

316
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: That's true.

317
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 5: That's kind of how we approach the experience we have,

318
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: like we're just going to keep making it better. We

319
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 5: want more positions, we want more competitive nature. We want

320
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 5: you to play linebacker, we want you to play receiver,

321
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: whence you play running back. We want you to play basketball, baseball,

322
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: and we want to be the place when you think

323
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: of first person sports status, pro is it. This is

324
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: the gaming software that allowed us to see field level

325
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: sports that we love across the gamut.

326
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: I want to give you some love too, because I

327
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: can't wait to see the first YouTube video somebody playing

328
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: linebacker on you guys' thing and come dive through a wall.

329
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: They just totally don't recognize that you should not be

330
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: diving like that, because I see it in boxing, people

331
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: doing boxing. Somebody get it all the time. You know,

332
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: it's funny.

333
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: We see so many viral videos of like uncles running

334
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 5: through closet walls, and you know, we got to act

355
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: of all, those dudes are killing the game. It was

356
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: funny because we saw them last year, last year and

357
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: they were still just kind of getting their feet a

358
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit more wet, really diving into it.

359
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: Peanut went out and bought some stuff.

360
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: I did.

361
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Damn near killed myself trying to play that game. It's dope,

362
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: though it was super nice. Damn near killed myself. But

363
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: they really are heading in well on their ways to

364
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: being the virtuality of sports. I'm just a little disappointed

365
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: that they didn't take my investment. I gotta make it enough.

366
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: It's all good. Both of us from the collection played

368
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,280

00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,640

00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: Love Coffee. Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the podcast. Chris Johnson,

381
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: CJ two K, CJ two K having CJ two K.

382
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: That's the name right there. Two thousand. I don't even

383
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: draw that far bro you ran. I don't even that

384
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: far man.

385
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: You know.

386
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: I want to know this before we jump into it,

387
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: because I remember when you ran the forty. That's what

388
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: put you on the map. Nobody if you didn't watch

389
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: Eastern Carolina football. We didn't know who Chris Johnson was, right,

390
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think the NFL knew either. And you

391
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: ran this forty at the combine? Could you talk about

392
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: that moment and all of a sudden how it changed everything?

393
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: A man, it was crazy because like going into the combine,

394
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: like I was probably like a second third rounder, you

395
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, I had all the film to

396
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: match and stuff like that, a lot of people didn't

397
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: know about me. But before then we did the Junior Day.

398
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: So Junior Day, want to see I think a East

399
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 3: Carolina probably like probably like three scouts came out or whatever.

400
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: Three scouts I ran, Yeah, but I ran a four

401
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: one nine there, Oh wow, I ran a four one nine.

402
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: So that's what kind of got it wasn't you know

403
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Still one overly known and or whatever

404
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: like that. And then so I did my thing my

405
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: senior year, and then in the bowl game and the

406
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: Hawaii Bowl, I had four hundred dollars purpose yards and

407
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: then so I was on the cut second third round

408
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 3: and then like, man, at the combine, after I read

409
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: that forty, it's just when everything went through the roof.

410
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: It went crazy. That went crazy.

411
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: So after that I had like I had sixteen schedule

412
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: visits after after the combine, like it was crazy.

413
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: That was yeah.

414
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so uh do you remember that that twenty twelve

415
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: game when Chicago came to Tennessee. You have refreshed my memories.

416
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: So you had a good one. So I believe where

417
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: the scroll we won fifty one to twenty. That's when

418
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: that's when you said that record that game. Yes, he did, he.

419
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: Said that record what it was four or five?

420
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: It was four. Yeah, that was a fun game. That

421
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: was a game. I just at some point on the ode,

00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: talk about it?

431
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was all taught about it because it was

432
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 3: always known. They you know, the peanut punching. You know

433
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like you're gonna get that ball or

434
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: whatever like that was talked about so extra ball security

435
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: this week, all that stuff, and it's.

436
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Like, so the first play from scrimmage, we get Kenny

437
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: Brick and force fumble. What was the conversation was solid?

438
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: Right after that one?

439
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: It was just crazy, like we talked about this and

440
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: you the first play this happened, so it's like we

441
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: already fighting out up here at them, you know what

442
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And then like me myself, I never like

443
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: I never fumbled, like I didn't. So we come out

444
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: there and I fumbled it and one of those phones

445
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: was questionable on that I had a catch, So it

446
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: was like a bang bang player. But I feel like

447
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: they knew he was going for the record that was

448
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 3: so they gave it to him.

449
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, he had a real good game.

450
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: Man, you had You had a good one too, though

451
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: you ran. You still rush for like one hundred and

452
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: forty one yards, sixteen carries, like you still did your thay.

453
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: He had an eighty yard run, just took it to

454
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: the house. I didn't even try to chase him, like, yeah,

455
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: let it go. Don't put that on tape, dog, don't

456
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: you put that on tape.

457
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: Just let him get that.

458
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: I want to know this what was your you know

459
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: you won the offensive player that you're in two thousand

460
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: and nine. Do you have a signature play, a signature

461
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: moment of that season or something that really just sticks

462
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: out to you and that that that season, because I

463
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: know you broke off.

464
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 3: A ton of long runs, but I think my signature

465
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna say it just went play. But it

466
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: was a game against Jacksonville. Me and Jones Rue was

467
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: like going back and forth.

468
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: Remember that game.

469
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: I think total rushing off between me and him, It

470
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: was like almost five hundred yards, like, but we was

471
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: going back and forth, like he'll break along when I

472
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: break alone. It was just like going back and forth

473
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: the whole game, and it was like it's like it

474
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: kind of like was like in my head and going

475
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: back thinking about it, it was like a boxing mass

476
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: where like, you know, he hit you with a big blow,

477
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: I come back here hit you with a big blow,

478
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 3: and then I end up with the last big blow

479
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: to the knock him out. We end up winning the game,

480
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: and I end up finishing with more yards and stuff

481
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: like that.

482
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: So that's a signature game for me.

483
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: How competitive did you get it? When you're not making

484
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 1: any tackles, but you got another really good running back

485
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: on the opposite sideline. Do you take it personally like

486
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: I got outshine?

487
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely say that personally, like that's something I

488
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: used to always.

489
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: Have in my mind, like I got to outshine the

490
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: other guy.

491
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: And then another thing like with me was like even

492
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: though AP came in a year before me and I

493
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 3: was asking, we were still the same.

494
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: We graduated high school together.

495
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: He came out early, but it was like always like,

496
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, I got an outdo Ap.

497
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, because that was while we

498
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 3: was in the league. That was always the talk who

499
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: the best back out of me and AP? So if

500
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 3: he played earlier, then I played what AP did today?

501
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

502
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: A lot of time, I know and I in a

503
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: lot of stadiums, they usually put the.

504
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: Highlights in the yards up like that.

505
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: If he just bro for seventy got to do something,

506
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: so like yeah, you always going to compete and compete

507
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 3: against the other running back on the other team too,

508
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: and I'll do him.

509
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: So. Adrian Peterson one of the greatest, another a great

510
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: running back to UH to play the game. UH yourself.

511
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: Is there a running back today who you think can

512
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: rush for two thousand yards with what you see with

513
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: I see where running backs we have?

514
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: Yes.

515
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the way that the offenses is

516
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: going in the NFL today, I don't think it can happen.

517
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: The last guy to do it, Darren Henry. They were

518
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: still running the old school offense where they gonna give

519
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: him a ball twenty twenty five game. But has it

520
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 3: changed that it's different? But a physic guy that's capable

521
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: of it, I would say. I would say Jamar Gibbs,

522
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: if they if they, if they give him the bar,

523
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: how they should give him the ball. I think he

524
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: can do it. I think sa Quan could do it,

525
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: but they'll never give him the ball like that. S

526
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: Quan can do it, Jamar can do it. And if

527
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: Nick Chubb can stay heal, yeah, yeah, I really believe

528
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 3: he can.

529
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing about Saquon too, because

530
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: Saquon it's always some little tweak or something. He's just

531
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: trying to stay healthy. But when he is healthy, he's explosive.

532
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: Like you're saying, I would like to know this. I

533
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: want your opinion. As a running back, there was drafted

534
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: in the first round because now they like, you shouldn't

535
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: draft a run back in the first round. How the

536
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: outlook on running backs going forward? How has it changed?

537
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: What do you see the future in it? And also

538
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: the devaluing of the running back or the star running back.

539
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: But now it's running back by committee.

540
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 3: See I hate a lot of times like when they say, oh,

541
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 3: you can get this guy in the third, fourth, fifth round.

542
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: How I've never seen you get a Chris Johnson an

543
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: a Adrian Peterson, like Barry Sanders, jar Mark Gibbs. You know,

544
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: you don't see these guys lasting to the fourth, fifth.

545
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: Round and things like that.

546
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: Now you might catch a guy in the third, fourth round,

547
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: fifth round they come in and you know they have

548
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: a good career. Yeah, but what guy is you gonna

549
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: really name? That can be like oh I did what

550
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 3: AP did, I did what CJ did that? Oh yeah,

551
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: I went and got him in a fifth round or

552
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: the fourth round. And a lot of times some of

553
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: those guys that they may catch, they don't tell the

554
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: backstory behind it. That guy probably could have got hurt

555
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: coming out of college, had character issues.

556
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: Why it's a reason why he went LA.

557
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: It went't just like, oh, this guy not talented enough

558
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: to be a first rounder. We can wait and get

559
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: him in the fourth round and he goes crazy. No,

560
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: they don't tell the backstory behind it. So that's why

561
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: I don't like when they say that. You know what

562
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So and it's just like this year, you

563
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 3: look at you Jamior Gills, he was a first rounder.

564
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: B John Robinson, he was a first rounder. Like, I

565
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: don't see how running bass can go in the first

566
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: round no more when you see the talent that's coming out, and.

567
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: It's crazy because everybody was like questioning Jamior Gibbs and

568
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they saw in play, especially

569
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: down the stretch when you figured it out electric player. Yeah,

570
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: we're going to take a short break and we'll be

571
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: back in a minute. So making that transition after you,

572
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: after you retire, go back to school, you get your

573
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: degree in communications, and congratulations, congratulations, you get into you

574
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: start investing in coffee. Just love coffee, yep, and talk

575
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: about how well, first off, you got a must You

576
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 1: must really love coffee to invest in it. And I

577
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: know y'all have what twenty you have about twenty six locations?

578
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: You know, how did you get invested in this, like

579
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: what what what made you want to do that?

580
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: Well, the crazy thing is like when I first, like

581
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: when I first retire, right going through that phase where

582
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: it's like dang, like I'm used to being on the

583
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: schedule every then in my life nothing doing. It's like dang,

584
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 3: like what I'm gonna do? Like the transition is hard.

585
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 3: So the first thing, my first initial thing what I

586
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 3: did was I went back to school. Yeah, so doing

587
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 3: a lot of online classes and stuff like that. And

588
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: then like going through that a lot of time I

589
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: used to do, like it used to be sometimes be

590
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: sitting in the house and I'm just like like bored,

591
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: Like shit, i gotta get out. So I used to

592
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: go to like different coffee shops and like study and

593
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: do all that type of stuff and just sitting and

594
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, it's kind of dope, man Like, and

595
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: I just see how many people come in and out,

596
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 3: Like sometimes you see some of the same people come

597
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: in and out all day getting coffee, you know what

598
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm like, man, this would probably be dope,

599
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So then so I'm like, man,

600
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm just just try it out. You know what I'm saying,

601
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 3: And I got into that type of way or whatever.

602
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: So my first initial thing was I'm gonna get a

603
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 3: coffee shop, so it was a franchise or whatever like that,

604
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 3: and then COVID hit or whatever like that, and I'm like, man,

605
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 3: I know, like I want to build this brand and

606
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: things like that, like with us some way, like what

607
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 3: can I do, like to become bigger, you know what

608
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm saying, and not just hold myself to like this

609
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: individual store. So I'm like, man, you know what, I'm

610
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: gonna just go to the owners of the company and

611
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: stuff like that, see if I can invest and see

612
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: if I can be part owners. So I went to

613
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: from just owning one individual store to becoming part owner

614
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: of the whole brand or whatever like that. And I

615
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: just felt like it was smart idea because next, like

616
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 3: if we talk about addiction and we're not talking about

617
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 3: like nothing illegal, not drugs or like you know what

618
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like coffee is like people are addicted to coffee,

619
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: like they have to have it. And a lot of

620
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: times people think, oh, the hot coffee in the morning

621
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,160

00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: in the morning, all sitting down on the porch just

633
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: drinking coffee, sent around talking and stuff like that. So

634
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: like that's my first initial introduction to coffee.

635
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: Now you got a signature, You got a signature, Blend. Yeah, yeah,

636
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: I gotta like some lemon, some raisins, yeah, limen raisin.

637
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: I never would have thought like lemons and raisins and tea.

638
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: I never would have thought that would have went together.

639
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: Like we came up who and how did you come

640
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: up with that? And it was crazy like that, Blend.

641
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: So at the main office, like it's a coffee tasting room,

642
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like you got all there's

643
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: probably like twenty thirty different coffees you can taste, you

644
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So just sitting there tasting all

645
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: the different coffees and getting up blend, putting together and

646
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: then whatever the best one that I like.

647
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I just went with that. Okay,

648
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: I just went.

649
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: Like, tell me about it. Sounds like it just went great.

650
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: But I want to know about like a pitfall, something

651
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: you didn't see happening outside of COVID that you learned

652
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: from this coffee business. Like, man, this is everybody just

653
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: needs to look out for this because this is what's

654
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: really out there.

655
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: Well that that coffee business kind of got me into

656
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: the next one. As far as real estate, you know

657
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So I do real estate now, so commercial.

658
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 6: Residential, airbnbsbnbs, So just getting into the coffee business and

659
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 6: running the restaurant and things like that, like dealing with employees,

660
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.

661
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you may be saying because you're that type

662
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: of business coffee shop you got, you got high school workers.

663
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: Basically you may have some freshmen college workers, but you're

664
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: dealing with kids, you know what I'm saying. So you're

665
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: dealing with kids and sometimes you're dealing with their parents

666
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So it's like going into that

667
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: that let me know that, like I really don't want

668
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: to do nothing involved with having to deal with people,

669
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: like having deal with employees. I rather deal with real

670
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 3: estate is cutting dry. This is what it's going to be.

671
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about, Oh, this person can't

672
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: show up to work today. All of that type of

673
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: stuff is just a headache. Everybody complays about that.

674
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: The people.

675
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: You got a manage on on personalities. I guess it's

676
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of like being a head coaches. Fifty three people

677
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: on the team, You got fifty three personalities that you

678
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,520

681
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: all have that moment where we get rocked or something

682
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: crazy happens that you didn't expect, like, damn, this is

683
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: the league, this is this is real. What was your

684
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL moment?

00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: Mine was Wiz playing Will's playing Cleveland Browns my rookie

686
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,560

Speaker 3: welcome to the NFL moment when I was going against

692
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: Brian Urlacker. But once I played against him, I feel

693
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: like he's more a finesse linebacker.

694
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. But what the quest? Jackson?

695
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: He want to thay every chance he gets, every chance

696
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: he gets. So I come through the middle, he hit me.

697
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: I go this way. My mouth fees go the other way.

698
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,160

Speaker 3: those are two. And I gotta say my oldest brother.

793
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 3: Like I always wanted to be like my oldest brother

794
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: because when I was younger, my mom wouldn't let me

795
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: play football because she thought that I was gonna get

796
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 3: her call little. But she always let my brother play,

797
00:36:59,480 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 3: so like.

798
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: Every year, so she let him play, but you couldn't.

799
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's my oldest He was my oldest brother.

800
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: So he's five years older than me. So he's my

801
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: oldest brother. So I got three older brothers. He the oldest.

802
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: So every year, like all the way up until like

803
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: seventh grade, every year, like he used to be like

804
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: just working out, training stuff like that. I used to

805
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: be right there with him working out and training and

806
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: stuff like that. And when it comes time for the

807
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: football season, she let him playing. Well never let me play,

808
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: so I do all his work for no reason. So

809
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 3: finally she eventually let me play. But like just seeing

810
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: like he's the reason why I played football, like why

811
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: I always wanted to play football and stuff like that.

812
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,680
