Sure, 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.920 but what's also true is there. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.920 Is a not me I'm too small. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.440 Welcome in special episode of What's Right with the Great 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.520 Podcast is episode number sixteen. This is our first episode 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.760 that is not happening live from my living room, and 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.120 it's happening from Los Angeles, California. Because this is our 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.959 first episode where instead of my son Demanse being the 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.640 co host, we have a guest. Demanse is out replaced 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.280 with none other than arguably the best rapper alive, blow 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.920 Away Dwayne joins us. Now, the first thing I want 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.720 to ask you is this, how did we become friends? 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.400 Man? I think this one plain Simba doesn't like in 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:55.080 a show. 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.520 So okay. So then that leads me to my next question. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:58.760 When do you sleep? 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:05.120 H's that's like a five letter word, right, I'm trying 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:06.960 to figure out that's the five ESSL. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:07.520 Yeah. 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.040 Yeah, I'm still trying to finally figure out what that 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:10.520 one means. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.720 That's because my show starts it's seven thirty in New York, 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.560 which is four thirty out here. Yeah, and during football season, 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.720 twice a week, you're texting me about something I said 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.320 about the Packers or something. In one of the first 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.680 two segments, so that's it's before five in the morning. Yeah, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.359 and I assume I don't think it's because you haven't 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.240 gone to bed, But I also don't think you're getting 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.520 up and immediately turn on the show. So what's what's 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:36.360 the day look like? 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.040 No, so what happens is that's studio time four thirty. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.720 That when I moved out here, it was perfect because 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.920 that's my I'm always in the studio. Everyone's in the 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.519 studio at that time, your show, just all the shows 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.880 that come on. I usually gotta miss sometimes I gotta 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.760 miss a little bit. To speak for yourself, but you, yip, Colin, 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.079 y'all get watched all day. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.360 All day while you're doing so while you're doing. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.400 It, TV's on up there, the TV's on in the booth, 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:03.920 everywhere everywhere. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.359 So so that you're we were talking about this beforehand, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.040 you and I. You're a little bit older me, we're 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.160 almost the same age. You have been. You have been 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.880 in the public eye for now more than twenty five years. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:21.120 You were twelve right when. Okay, So I got a 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.399 bunch of questions about that, and then we talk sports. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:24.840 Why do you still do it? 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.640 Plain and simple insanity, doing the same thing over and 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.600 over expecting different results every time. 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.040 Okay, plain and simple, but also playing. I love what 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:36.320 I do. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.640 It's it's never it's never been a day of work 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.960 for me. It's always been me getting to do my dream, 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.720 living my dream out. So thank God every day and night. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.440 So there's there's a commercial. I don't know how good 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.640 the commercial is. I think it's for like crypto company, 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.480 but it's Lebron talking to his young and his younger self. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:00.400 So if you were able to talk to twelve year 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.000 old playing, you know, right around the time you invented 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:11.400 the term bling blank? Yeah, what what would you tell him? 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.800 I was just telling him that, you know, I never 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.800 ever once thought that as that when I was young. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.599 I never thought that this would ever stop, that I 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.320 would ever stop, and so I probably would just tell 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.599 him at that, you know, keep doing you it'll be wonderful. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.240 So the when we when I talked to athletes sometimes 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.719 like the truly great athletes, they were some of them, 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.760 you know, were late luers, but a lot of them 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.920 when they were seven years old, they knew, they knew, 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.720 and people around him were like, you're gonna be and 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.520 they were almost a little extra protected. The people at 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:51.600 their back. You're obviously from tough, tough place, New Orleans, 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.320 and a lot of bullshit around you, and your famous 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:01.440 as a child, yes, before America knew you. When did 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.960 you know or the people around you started saying to you, 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.599 You're you're gonna be you, You're gonna be this. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.120 So as a kid, as in what I mean by 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.480 that isn't from five to seven. From that age, from 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.560 age five to seven, I was already being woken I 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.920 was already being woken up and waking up. How you 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.200 want to come in my sleep at eleven twelve pm 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.560 and I'm twelve am to wake up, come perform, Come 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.279 do to Michael Jackson. Wake up and come do the 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.880 scene that we watched today from Bill Cosby. Show up, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.000 Come wake up, and come do what Rudy did today 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.800 on the College Real Yeah, I was already put this 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.000 wig on, put the sock on, and come do to 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.400 Michael Jackson. And this is for a living room full 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:44.919 of people that's in their forties. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.080 Okay, you know what I mean. Just do that. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.080 As it go, I get a candy or something from 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.159 the fridge, and I'm happy with that. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:52.400 Stick. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.440 I go to school the next day so that right 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.640 there already told me that, okay, you're there's not a 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:57.440 seven year old in. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.400 This living room not performed. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.360 And also so none of my seven year old friends 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.520 would even want to see me do this, you know. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.320 So that right there kind of gave me and I 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.720 kind of let me know that, okay, because now when 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.400 I'm going to school and I'm talking about the things 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.360 or something I've heard in that living room, I'm noticing 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.680 that I'm connecting with my teacher, okay, and not my friends, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.800 you know, and I'm noticing that I have a real 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.440 connection with the teacher. The teacher is literally calling me 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.279 to the desk and we having real conversations. And so 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.320 that right there told me, Okay, you're going to probably 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.800 be a little different. And of course the teacher would 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.600 tell me, you know, you're a little different. You need 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.040 to They'll tell my mom, you know, they'll want to 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.720 talk to my mom. He shouldn't walk home from school, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.840 things like that, you know, like he shouldn't walk home 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:39.240 from school. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:40.240 He's a little you. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:41.920 Know, you got something here, you know what I mean, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.560 that type of thing. And then once I became a 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.440 rapper with cash money records, who was by the way, 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.440 they was already who they were before we signed a 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.279 deal with Universal Records. New Orleans was the cash. Money 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.760 was everything. And so just by them even giving me 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.039 paying attention to me, that meant something. And so once 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.000 I was with them around eleven, Julie was the biggest 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.720 rapper we had, the biggest artist we had. Julie was 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:12.040 Alwa would always say on any interview, any show, and 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.440 then amongst each other internally, Wayne's the best. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:16.880 He's going to be the guy. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.040 So do you now that you have the perspective of 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.560 you know, twenty five years in the business, and you 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.840 mentioned when I was a kid, and for you, when 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.120 you were a kid five six, seven years old, you 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.679 probably stopped being a kid way younger than most. Yeah, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.640 So do you now that you're an adult, do you 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.000 look back on it and say, man, I missed nothing. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.080 Not at all. How come I think that could? 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.840 I mean, because every kid I can ask, every friend, 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.920 I can ask that dig get to do the kid thing. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.120 They would have loved, They would do it. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:54.000 I was, So why do you think? So I've got 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.480 a I got three kids, but eight year old daughters 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:02.360 are youngest, and everyone's is that we should put her 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.080 try to get her into some type of TV. Or 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.760 she's just very pretty and smart and loves acting on 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.280 this and she wants to There's like an audition coming 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.200 up in New York for some Nickelodeon kitchen. She wants 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.520 to do it, and I won't let her do it. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:23.200 And it's because the success rate of people that are 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:30.160 child stars having successful adulthood. It's like justin Timberlake, Lebron, James, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.720 Lol Wayne, a couple others, but most of them, even 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.400 if they do have successful adulthood, they have some real 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.680 dark times or they peak at fifteen, and it's depressing 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.720 as an adult. So why do you think you were 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.480 able to kind of navigate that world to still be 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.040 at the top of your field twenty five years later? 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.880 I would say, first of all, because it's music. I mean, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.840 it isn't acting and nothing music. When you're being seen, 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.480 as in you know, acting, when you're being seen, people 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.280 can you know, it's a difference from being heard. It's 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.040 people can't get tired of seeing you okay, and get 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.800 tired of saying uh, not as in exhausted, as in 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.600 I don't want to see you no more, but as 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.240 in what are you doing now? What am I seeing now? 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.520 If I'm not seeing something different me as in music, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.880 I was always able to adjust. Some artists don't do that. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.400 Some artists feel I was successful in what I was 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.079 doing and the way I sound and the way I'm 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.840 gonna keep doing that, and I was always able to adjust. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.280 I was always able to say, Okay, this is what 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.240 we're doing. Now, I'm gonna do that and do it 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.480 way better. And I mean, I think that's only a 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.480 personal thing, and that would be that would be my 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.240 personal reason of the reason why I was able to 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:47.559 navigate so the. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.880 And I'm not comparing my career to you, but what 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.400 I think similar is And what would people young people 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.400 ask me, like, hey, you know I want to do 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.120 what you do or whatever. The single biggest advantage I 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.400 ever had was if you'd have met me at ten 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.839 years old, I'd have said, this is what I want 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:10.240 to do. And the having the back knowing that if 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.760 you know, it's hard to make everyone has fork in 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.360 the road moments, right, and it's hard to know which 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.640 way to choose if you don't know where you're trying 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.080 to go. But if you know that the destination for 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.920 me has always been there's I want there to be 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.600 one moment in time, hopefully long moment, but one moment 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.959 in time where family feud style. You ask one hundred 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.320 sports fans, who's the biggest sports personality in America that 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.720 I win that right now, it's probably Skip Steven A Colin. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.040 Like those guys have all had it. I've never had it. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.040 Maybe I get there, Maybe I won't. I always wonder 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.040 if and when that happens, will that set like willhy 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.719 then say Okay, got to the goal, move on to 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.880 something else. There is no doubt there has been multiple 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.160 times throughout your career biggest rapper in the world, and 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.679 some would argue best rapper ever total catalog. So I 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.560 kind asked this earlier, but I want to drill on 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.400 it for a moment. What keeps you hungry in that? 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.600 Because you have other passions we're talking about it. You 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.440 have a skate team, you're in fashion. We'll get into that. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:09.640 What keeps you hungry? 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:10.640 Plain and simple. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.400 I've never when I look in the mirror, I have 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.640 never you know, I screamed it out as a kid, 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:15.040 I'm the. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:15.880 Best rapper alive. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.320 Yet I've never in my life, never yet, never yet 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.000 felt that I'm satisfied. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:21.440 With what I'm able to do. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.079 Always want to get better, always want to get better. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.199 I am so happy this last past month. You can 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.160 ask any him or be closer. I've just found out 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:36.000 how to really navigate the computer and work put and that. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.320 So you think you're still you haven't plateaued, you think 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:40.360 you're still getting better? 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:46.320 What yeah, yeah, oh yeah, definitely. I mean I'm still 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.360 doing seven features a week. 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.520 Well, when I I had a few too many drinks 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.320 one night, this having a few about six weeks ago, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:56.800 and this is when I knew I'm gonna be honest. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.200 This is when I knew Wayne is my actual friend, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.400 not just it's like we text about sports. I'd had 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.000 a few too many cocktails. Was in an uber on 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.760 the way back to the house with my lovely wife, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.160 who's sitting right there. And it was right around the 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.880 time you had retweeted her boutique, which was an unbelievable 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.360 moment for her. She just opened a boutique called Trinkage 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.600 in New York City. Anything. It was around the same 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.880 day or day after, and we're in the uber and 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.319 alul Wayne song comes on because I'd had a few 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.120 cocktails I'm like, you know what, I'm a FaceTime Wayne, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.400 and I called you and as soon as it started ringing, 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.200 I was like, what the fuck am I doing? And 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.560 I hung up and you called me right back, right back, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:34.959 And I said, and I won't say who you're in 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.200 the studio with because I don't know if that's you know, confidential, 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.200 because I hadn't come out yet. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.760 But I'll tell you. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.720 Can I say it? Bleep it if it's not supposed 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.560 to know? You were doing something with Nicki? Okay, yeah, 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.400 you're in the studio with NICKI doing I don't know 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.040 if it was a video or a song. And you 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:50.560 called me right back. You're like, now we're taking a 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.040 break anyway, and I'm like, all right. First of all, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.800 it's eleven o'clock at night wherever it is he's working. 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.319 Second of all, called me back, and I was like, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.560 all right, so Wayne, and that's what led us, you know, 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.559 down this path, so one more music thing than we 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.400 do sports. You know, I'm a list guy, and in 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.920 hip hop, obviously there's the top five dead or alive. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.600 I'm gonna give you mine, and then are you comfortable 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:13.360 giving me yours? 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:13.840 Yeah? 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:18.640 Okay, so mine would be to me, there's four no doubters, 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.440 and then the fifth one people will kill me for you, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:28.079 Jay Pac, and up until My Beautiful, Dark Twisted Fantasy Kanye, 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.760 that's those of the four. And then if people really 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.880 ask me who for me. As far as enjoyment I've 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.000 gotten from listening to music, TI is my fifth favorite. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.640 He doesn't have the catalog everyone has, nobody losing in 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.880 the top five. Trap Music to me is one of 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.720 my favorite albums. Ever, it's always rep for him. For you, 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:46.640 what's your top five? 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.559 You don't you have a big top fat. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.839 Oh so this is controversial here. So here's the thing. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.800 I don't think he made enough music. I don't think 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.000 like I do give a sports analogy of it. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.840 And I and I respect that too. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.880 I think that, like I think, you know, he has 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:10.320 two unbelievable albums, but when we're talking about the greatest 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.440 and when he passed, he obviously was top five, But 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.600 you hadn't made you know what I mean, you were 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.480 just on the scene. Jay Z has released eight albums 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.160 since then that are outstanding. I think My Beautiful, Dark 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.360 Twisted Fantasy is from start to finish as good as 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.560 a hip hop album, as I've ever heard, and again 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.000 I understand people like Nick you have t I over Biggie. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.760 I just love the sad. I love his his album 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:34.320 so much. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.880 So for you I Got for Me is always going 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.360 to be first. Missy Elliott. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:40.680 Wow. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:46.080 Yeah, that was a huge influence of everything I've ever done. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.600 Jay Z is the best to abuman speak, and uh, 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.640 Biggie obviously Biggie. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.600 Then I have I have the whole as a whole. 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.560 I have Goodie mob okay yeah, and then I have 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.880 ugk ugk okay. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:04.160 But so you don't have yourself? 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.800 Oh no, I can't touch them guys. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.200 Okay, So listen, that's very humble of you. I believe 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.240 that you believe that. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.640 I would never put myself in the my list. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.160 Really yeah, really quick, break right back with more with 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.080 me and Lil Wayne. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.560 Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here. It's a new year, and 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.760 you know what that means. No, not the diet resolutions, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:30.760 a way for us all to try and do a 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.040 little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.800 unlike Big Wireless, is to not be a raging and 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.440 raise the price of wireless on you every chance I get. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.080 Give it a try at Midmobile dot Com slash Switch. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.600 Forty five dollars up front payment required equivalent to fifteen 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.080 dollars per month new customers on first three month plan only, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.880 taxes and fees, extra speeds lower about forty gigabytes on 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.960 unlimited seemintmobile dot com for details. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.200 Well that listen. We don't have to get super deep 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:04.120 introspective on this, but that Another common thread of super 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.640 successful people that I have met is most if I 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.000 can include myself in this, most of us have a 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.560 bit of a fraud complex, which is the bit of 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.600 a people are gonna find me out. I'm not as 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.760 good as what people say. There's a bit of a like. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.360 Other people view you as more successful than you necessarily 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.560 view yourself, which keeps you. I think Brad, I think 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.720 Tom Brady has it. I think there's no reason Tom 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.360 Brady still be playing, but he's still I think he's 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.120 still motivated by where he was, where he was drafted. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.600 All right, let's so, let's so you and I first 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.680 talked sports was about football. You've stild people this before, 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.400 but quickly, how did you become a Packers fan? 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:43.120 Packers fan? 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.160 Packers won a Super Bowl in New Orleans be it 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.680 was like ninety six they won a Super Bowl. My dad, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.920 it was just the biggest thing to do if you're 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.520 in New Orleans. My dad, he's past, but he knows nothing. 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.840 I knew nothing about football. He didn't know what nothing 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.880 but what he knew nothing with Saints. Okay, but Super 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:01.240 Bowl was. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:01.960 In New Orleans. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.920 If you thought you had some money, you had to 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.320 go to the Super Bowl. My dad went to the 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:10.120 Super Bowl, came back home with Packers everything, towels, cups, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.240 And when you're from the hood, those aren't souvenirs. You know, 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.840 you don't put those towersand cups up. You actually used it. Yeah, 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.080 So every day I'm drinking the Packers cups and I'm 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:26.199 taking showers with Packers towels and wearing Packers robes and 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.679 stuff like that. So they became my favorite team. So 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.480 Matt Madden came out that year, and I think brut 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:32.320 was on the cup cover. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.040 But so if it's reasonable to say that if that 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.600 ninety six NFC championship game, which I think was Niners Packers, 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.720 it was that if the Niners had won and they 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.439 were in that game, you might be a Niners. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:46.959 I don't know if it was Niners Packers because they 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:47.560 both NFC. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.560 That NFC championship, that was a champions and not the 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:55.440 Super Bowl. No, no, no, the Super bowls Packers, Patriots. I'm saying, 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:57.560 if the Niners would have come out of the Super 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.480 come out of the NFC to the Super Bowl, yeah, Packers, the. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.360 Whole New Orleans was already Niners fans. Yeah, because no 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.320 one from them. And I swear I hate I hate 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.840 these New fans, these New New Orleans Saints fans, because 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.399 they know they never it was you get beat up 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.159 for being a Saints fan. When I was growing up, 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.400 my mama bought me a Saints starter jacket. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.440 Yeah, I cried. 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.760 Because you couldn't wearkuse you buy me a Saints start well, No, 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:29.640 and guess what she had to go back and get 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.560 me the next Christmas forty nine. 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.680 Yeah, and that was back man. Mid nineties. Starter jackets 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:37.359 on the news. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.920 They were on the news. They were telling your parents. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.320 Don't let your kid if you have a starter jacket 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.160 for your kids, either don't let them walk home from 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.680 school with it, or either make sure you go pick 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.440 your kid up at make sure your kids stand behind 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.480 the gates and not outside the gate. Of school with 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.080 it started jacking on out. I remember she was like, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.560 I was like, nobody ain't gonna take this one. I 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.600 don't nobody, Nobody ain't gonna take this the Saint started. 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:00.520 Nobody care about this. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.840 So yeah, So all the people that was saying that 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:07.400 they Saints fans, now it's all good, but that ain't 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:07.720 start that. 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:08.680 Drew Brees got. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.959 It right, and which is the And there was a 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.280 moment in time where people didn't know if the Saints 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.840 was going, We're gonna be able to survive post Katrina 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:22.280 and then Drew Brees obviously game fifteen years of greatness. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.119 So so nobody can give you for not being a 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:26.919
