22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: in three championship games and I finally won one, so

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: one and two in championship games, and then one year

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: we ain't making at all. What's happening is my guys man,

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: and I don't recruit, not yet. I'm coming, but I

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: ain't did it yet. I am a Rando coach. Like

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: if your kid wants me, or you want me because

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: you know that I played, or you think my style

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be great for your kid, I'm here for

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: I have had some of the sorriest players ever, and

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: we make the championship game, and I've had some of

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: the sorriest players. I mean, we want a championship. I

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: don't care about that. And people think it's just lip service.

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: I really don't. I am trying to do a couple

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: of things. First and foremost, teach the foundation, the fundamental

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: level of sports, like all sports have certain things in coming, right,

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: like you gotta give it, you're all right. Just simple things,

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: simple truths that obviously will be a shared experience, not

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: only in sports but in life. I make sure these

40
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: kids have discipline. I have this thing I say ABCDEF

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: all ballers commit, discipline effort focused. That's it ABC, and

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: the kids go d e F. Discipline effort focused. And

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: that's all I need from these little youngsters. Right, you

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: give me y'all. Oh, we're gonna build something. I call

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: it legos. I tell the kids we are building legos.

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: We don't have a playbook, we have legos. So every day,

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: every practice, we put another piece on another piece, and

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: they're all little, small pieces, but it makes this huge,

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: big thing legos. Right. I have a system that I

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: really helped these kids understand that it's more than sports,

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: but these are life lessons through sports. And I make

52
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: sure that they understand that I talk over their heads

53
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: on purpose because one day I'll be that voice in

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: their head when they're long gone from me, and they'll

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: be reminded of what's most important ABC d F things

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: of that nature. So, uh, this Sunday, we had to

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: play our games. Right. We lost our basketball championship on Saturday.

58
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: So I don't want to act like, oh, when you

59
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: don't win, you don't talk about it. I hate that, dude.

60
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: We lost. We got smashed. Them boys were big. Them

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: boys were good, well coached and they had. They had

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: a third grader, MJ in the first grade, y'all, so

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: it's coming. They had a third grader out their eurostepping

64
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: and it was not pretty for us. A day dude

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: going through the lane light heart and knocking ya huh.

66
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, we're gonna take an

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: l And the funny thing is, as a coach, I'll

68
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: tell y'all the truth. I knew we were gonna lose. Like,

69
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: going into the game, I'm like, okay, I really love that.

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: There's no way we'd beating this team. I mean we

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: almost did too. We were like, a couple of minutes left,

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: we're only down for but you know, it goes. Sometimes

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: they just play around with you. The team was just

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: better than us. It's all good. We could have played

75
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: above our heads, but we didn't. All good. So Phil

76
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Belichick is in the building, right, Phil Belichick's fell it right.

77
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: I am Phil Jackson and Bill Belichick made up into

78
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: this nice complexion of doctness of coaching. That's right. I'm

79
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the Mike Tomlin of this thing. Combined them too. Seriously, though,

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: I can coach basketball because it's the same principles at

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: this age, Like look, we ain't out there running no

82
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: damn triangle. These kids be like, huh, they barely know

83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: what the triangle is. But the point that I love

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: about coaching all sports, all kids, all levels, is they

85
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: take it in. Man. I walk in with this access pass,

86
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: with a spirit that I'm listening, that we are partners.

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: You must do your part. I do my part. And

88
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: it works. So we fast forward to when we actually

89
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: had a good day Sunday and go out there looking around.

90
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're feeling good, the kids looking good. You know,

91
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: we had to play the Dolphins, and the Dolphins don't

92
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: be the Bills lessons in Miami because we know why

93
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: them screets, them screets. But yeah, went out there. M

94
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: J balld Levi ball, my team ball, Miles ball, my

95
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: quarterback ball, Brooks ball, my boys balld oh man. They

96
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: went out there and did their thing. Semi final, a

97
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: pretty easy game. You know, we wont by like two touchdowns.

98
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: It felt like great, great team, but we were ready

99
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: we get into the finals. And what had happened was

100
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: let me tell you, let me tell you this. So

101
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: we get into the finals. First play from scrimmage, we

102
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: played the only team that beat us this year. This

103
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: is the only undefeated team and this team beat us,

104
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: So okay, revenge game. My kids don't know about revenge,

105
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: certainly king spelling. So we get out there first play,

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: they're a little shook. I want to stay scared. But

107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: I've been at age before and you're playing against a

108
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: really good team and a team to beat you. You're

109
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of waiting for it to come to you. You

110
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: want to make sure this is football, right. You kind

111
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: of want to get a taste test before you go

112
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: all the way in with it. And I'm looking at

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: these kids like, y'all better be ready because this game

114
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: about to start. It's starting. That team first play scored

115
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Huh, come on, y'all, they scored a touchdown.

116
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, we get the ball back our turn. You know,

117
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I don't give it to MJA

118
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: first play ever now because I want to see the defense.

119
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: I like to read it and give it to somebody else.

120
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 1: Kind of set up. They can run, they can't score,

121
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna save it right then. Gave it to

122
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: him second dawn. All right, let's store a pass on

123
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: second day. I gotta do it right, keep him on

124
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: guard and inceptions. So wait a minute, we have now

125
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: giving up a touchdown on first play and first possession,

126
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: we have thrown a pick. I'm like, y'all better wake up.

127
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Football doesn't wait for anybody. Triple A alignment assignment attack.

128
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: It's time to call triple A. We need some help

129
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: alignment assignment attack. My boys woke up to the point

130
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: where we really started to handle them a little bit.

131
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: To score. Didn't say that we had three or four penalties,

132
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns or long runs call back. They

133
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: try to balance this out at the youth level, right

134
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: these participation trophy moments. And I was like, dog, this

135
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: score should be like thirty to twelve, but it's okay,

136
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: it's twenty to twelve whatever. Maybe, So long story short,

137
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: my team, we get the ball back. I just gotta

138
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: bring up this moment. Get the ball back, and I

139
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: know it's five seconds left from the clock. All we

140
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: have to do is kneel down. Kids don't know kneel

141
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: down necessarily, and I ain't gonna try because they'll fumble

142
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: the ball something crazy. So I was like, all right,

143
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: just had the ball to MJ. When we're time. He

144
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: gets the ball soon as he get the ball bounced,

145
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: my grab a flat. That never happens to him. So

146
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: he's like, what what what? I said? I looked at him,

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: and I'm a good actor in this moment. I said, guys,

148
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And they're looking at me. They

149
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: had nothing, I mean, it was nothing but ghosts out there.

150
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: I said, what are you doing? Why aren't you celebrating?

151
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: The game's over? And they blew the whistle on the

152
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: horn at the same time. It was crazy the morning. Yeah, y'all,

153
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: champions man to come from behind persevere. I mean, these

154
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: are big adult life lessons that they're learning that seven

155
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: and I'm so proud of them, and I'm so thankful

156
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: that I'm the one that's helping drive him on this journey.

157
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: It's so rewarding, it's so good. Okay, let's talk about

158
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: somebody who's really a coach, not me, Dean Sanders. Oh,

159
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: y'all know he doesn't made some news talk about how

160
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: he recruits kids. And I don't let me not say that.

161
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: I know why this is news and controversial, but sometimes

162
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: keeping it real, y'all just don't want to hear it.

163
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: No more like keeping the real goes wrong. I don't

164
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: know why it doesn't keep it. The real goes right.

165
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: It should be that way in our world, in our society.

166
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: But Dian Sanders basically said, look, my quarterback, my quarterbacks,

167
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking for two parents in the household high GPA

168
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: three point five are better. Hey, I want some good

169
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: citizens at the quarterback position. Y'all can run where y'all

170
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: run with that, whether it's ratio or whether it's oh,

171
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: only certain types you can do that. But he broke

172
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: it down and he said it, and he meant it.

173
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk through it. Then he said my d lineman

174
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: and he said, nah, I need that dude on lunch program.

175
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: I need him. Just mama, single mama, single parent home

176
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: just barely can make the flight, like you know, broke

177
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: like he just needed to do that. Gott a hunt

178
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: and that made news. I mean, one is Deon Sander

179
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: saying it, but two you called it like it is.

180
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna make news. Let's talk about this because I

181
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: remember a coach came up to me and said, oh,

182
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't recruit I don't recruit kids that have three

183
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: car garagers. He said, no, no circular driveways, no three

184
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: car garagers. I said, Damn, he said, not hungry enough.

185
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: That's what I want to talk about, because what Dion said,

186
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: I get like, he like, look at certain positions. I

187
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: need certain demeanors and temperaments, and I need to play

188
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: the percentages. The percentages are this type of kid will

189
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: be this type of way. Doesn't mean he is, but

190
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: he's like, look, i'm recruiting. I ain't got time to

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: see every kid, but I am going to generalize and

192
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking for that now. Of course, he gonna find

193
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: him a single parent quarterback, right, Like, all right, dude

194
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: broke his health, single parent, and he could throw it.

195
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: That kid still will be his quarterbacks. So don't get

196
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: him twisted. But let's talk about this whole hunger that

197
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: comes from only the inner city hood poverty. I've always

198
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: challenged that and I'm gonna challenge it again because this

199
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: was a stereotype on that, like I need my dogs

200
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: are car You know dog that don't stretch. He just

201
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: hunts see food, eat food, right, he don't stretch on

202
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: the porch. Dogs see something, you know he's out. Well,

203
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: let me let me let me tell you this from

204
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: experience that in general, rich get richard, poor get poor

205
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: when we say somebody from the hood is hungry than

206
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: somebody who's from the burbs. That's a damn line. What

207
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: we have done is selected from all those from the

208
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: hood who are not hungry and all those who are hungry,

209
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: and then we selected those who are hungry and good.

210
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: And then we now put that against all of the suburbs,

211
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: not the suburban kid who's actually hungry, who has resources,

212
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: and that is good. Right now, comparing those the comparing

213
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: you start to realize, oh shit, and this ain't the

214
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: same conversation because you ever go to those like skills

215
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: camps that a lot of times the kid from the

216
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: hood can't go to because of resources, because of lack

217
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: of money and opportunity right whatever it may be, too far,

218
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: can't get their parents, can't get off work, whatever it

219
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: may be, don't have the money for the registration, blah

220
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: blah blah, real, real, real, But you get there and

221
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: you realize, man, the game. Don't discriminate these casts out

222
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: here tilting they out here getting it. So I think

223
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: the conversation really needs to be leveled and shifted, because

224
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: it's not that you're hungrier when you're from the hood.

225
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm hungry now I ain't in the hood. I was

226
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: hungry then, and I wasn't the hood, but it was me.

227
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't It was mean. But y'all want to know why.

228
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: I know it was me because I had a lot

229
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: of homies in the hood with me who weren't hungry.

230
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: We don't like to say that a lot. We don't

231
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: like to talk about that a lot. And you know why,

232
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: because don't kicking when they're down, right, while I was

233
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: down and I felt them kicking, and I made sure

234
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: I grabbed my opportunities and pull myself about it there

235
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: and everybody doesn't do a different way. It doesn't mean

236
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: play ball. I hate when that happens. When, oh not

237
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: everybody can make it to the NFL. I was like,

238
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: you act like that's the only way to make it.

239
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: You're telling on yourself. I'm talking about people who become

240
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: who they want to be. To me, success is as

241
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: simple as this. You close your eyes, what are you imagining?

242
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: You open your eyes, you become that that dream is

243
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: now your reality. And for me, it was being a

244
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: school teacher. For me, it was just hopefully making it

245
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: to the unfel with school teacher was my real dream.

246
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: And there are vp CEOs, managers, teachers, artists, etc. From

247
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: the hood. Those people were hungry, you know who weren't

248
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: as hungry or as fortune or blah blah blah. The

249
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: people who don't make it. And there are more of

250
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: them than there are that make it. Isn't that crazy?

251
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Like you almost got to look at the exceptions in

252
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: the hood, when you got to look at the norm

253
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: in the suburbs, say it again, this whole hunger, like

254
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: he from from nothing, he gonna go get it. Those

255
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: are the exceptions in the verbs. They're the norm. Don't

256
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: believe me. Let's go to high schools now they're poaching. Oh,

257
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: they post the exceptions. They go grab them exceptions from

258
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the inner city and bust them out, ship them out

259
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: to the verbs. But that school got two thousand people there,

260
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: That football team got one hundred players. They shifted what

261
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: five team. That team is gonna win all state with

262
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: five or ten special exceptions. And the meat of that

263
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: team lives right around the corner and from that suburban school. Right.

264
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: So the point is, I always wanted to push back.

265
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: We gotta have an honest conversation that we are extracting

266
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: the best of the best from the hood and say

267
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: everybody in the hood is that good or that hungry.

268
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: It's not the case. If that were the case, the

269
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: rich wouldn't get richer, the poor wouldn't get poor. We

270
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: have to also count those who were out there and

271
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: wasn't coming to practice, that didn't show up, that didn't

272
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: try hard, etc. Then we also got to flip that

273
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: for the suburban model and not just the norms, the

274
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: one who is messing up, sucking up daddy's money and

275
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: mama's money and it's just party hard. Whatever you may say.

276
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: They may be the acceptions because the Norman is their

277
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: success out there. You got to put respect on it.

278
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: So saw that story, thought it was crazy, thought it

279
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: was good, thought it was dope. I love Dion Sanders

280
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: so much because that dude is bringing a different energy

281
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: to coaching. He should. He's making those other coaches get

282
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: on their toes and get younger, you know, get smarter,

283
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, meet the kids where they are. And that's

284
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: what I love about it. Speak about Ball and somebody.

285
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: I do have a ton of respect for, oh Man,

286
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: LaVar Ball. Y'all know, LaMelo Alonzo hurt right now. That's

287
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: why they're in the news. But let's talk about the

288
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: ball family. The ball boys are hurt. And somebody hit

289
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: me up and asked me to do this topic, and

290
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's a good topic. They're like,

291
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: is it the jeans, the way they eat, or the

292
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: way that they were trained by Pops or what is

293
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: going on with these kids being hurt already playing sports? Yeah,

294
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: well they're gonna be hard. What do you mean you

295
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: play sports, You're gonna get hurt. I don't give a damn.

296
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: I tell my son that all the time. I was like,

297
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: especially because he plays basketball and football, and the perception

298
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: of basketball is it's not physical, You're not gonna get hurt.

299
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, oh, play basketball safe, you're ever going to paint.

300
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: Even at seven, they are hacking, knocking my son down.

301
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: He's knocking them down. He hit this one dude with

302
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: a DDT almost poked his eye out. It's physical and

303
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: basketball too. So you play sports, you're gonna get hurt.

304
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: That's part one. Part two is training, Like, let's talk

305
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: about modern day training, which I don't think has kept

306
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: pace with modern day athletes. Modern day athletes I think

307
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: are in front of the training right now. Now, there

308
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: are smart people. There are smart trainers. The technology is

309
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: certainly there. The athlete is here, The technology is right

310
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: with him, if not past him. He suckers out here

311
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: playing ball in God, what are those things called. I

312
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: don't even know. I'm old. I see cats just playing ball.

313
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I'll let what you're doing VR? So what the hell?

314
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: And I look in there like, yo, he is really

315
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: playing ball. My son has a dribble up app Yeah,

316
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: I just get y'all some free club. Yeah, but uh,

317
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: dribble up app he got handles at seven? Why because

318
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: he's at home doing dribble up app Um. But training,

319
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: let's talk about the training. The training has to be

320
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: complex movements. One, it has to replicate. That's to mimic

321
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: the sports you're playing. Two and three. Training has to

322
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: train the brain. That's where I think a lot of

323
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: cats miss out. Train the brain. Make it hard for him,

324
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: don't listen. Just don't have him in a layup line.

325
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Oh one two, three, dribble box old lay up made Nah.

326
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Have him come from underneath the basket, off a cut,

327
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: throw the ball with a spin on the knee to

328
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: adjust to that and still hit that same layup that fast.

329
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: Why that's the game you know, obstacles that come from

330
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: everywhere in places you don't expect. That's the game. Adversity everywhere.

331
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: You got to navigate through it. That's the game. What's

332
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: going on with the Ball brothers, I have no idea,

333
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, I know them when I see him, was up.

334
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: Got love for LaVar. But what I love about them

335
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: is that this is a story that they are still bowling,

336
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: that they are in the NBA. I don't know if

337
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: everyone knows this, but I went to school well, LaVar's brothers,

338
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: the twins, two big old dudes in high school. I

339
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't seen them since they Lavail and

340
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: another one. We will stay with them, big old dude.

341
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: I swear they had to be They better not be

342
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: bigger than they were there. It's crazy, but um and

343
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: ever knew Leavard end but then getting the gnome and

344
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: knowing the story that man put in work sacrifice for

345
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: his boys, left La Proper, you know, the hood like us,

346
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: and went way, way, way, way way out to Chino Hills,

347
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: and I mean way out. It is out and you imagine,

348
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: like everyone says that and we just move on to

349
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: the next part of the story or the topic but

350
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: to displace yourself with the bull intention to giving your

351
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: boys a better life, with the bull intention of raising athletes,

352
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: and then actually make that dream of reality. Props, bro,

353
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't care how allowed the boys triss you got

354
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: which was calculated as well, play on your personality, You

355
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: got to play to your strengths. But also that was calculating.

356
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: My parents, we moved from Compton to South Central. That

357
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: was our greener pastors, that was our heels. Why did

358
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: we move there because my mom wasn't moving too far

359
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: away from her mom, and my mom didn't played that,

360
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: so I knew that. But better school system, safer environment.

361
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, you say Compton back and what I'm moving

362
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight eighty one? You say Compton? Then

363
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: whoa brothers and my mom's brothers getting killed and uncles

364
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: losing them, family all caught up. You go to South

365
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Central at that time not the best of places, but

366
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: batter then South Central had its own issues as well.

367
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: But I just got respect for people who put in

368
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: the works and sacrifice, even if it doesn't look as

369
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: neat as you wanted to. They know what their goal

370
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: is and what they have in mind. So I got

371
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: love for my man the ball brothers, y'all, heal up

372
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: the dog. I haven't senior since Vegas last year, but

373
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: keep it going. Man, y'all represent us very well. And

374
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: when I say us, I'm in the hood to the good.

375
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about somebody who didn't represent and

376
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: I got something in common with him, so we'll get

377
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: through this. It's my man, Carson Wentz. Commanders cut Carson Wentz.

378
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: Not a surprise here, right, Let's talk about his career

379
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: and highest spiral out of control. Got to Washington last

380
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: offseason after trade with the coach. Commanders gave up picks,

381
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: got him all right, thirty years old, only played in

382
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: eight games last year. Yuck from Week six and play

383
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: again and start again in the week seventeen. They got

384
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a new guy that's gonna start. Sam how I guess? Okay,

385
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: go ahead, bro, But damn who Sam? How I know

386
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz? And that's what's sad new OC. They got

387
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy public Ende me number one up in there.

388
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: But the question I have is, how do you go

389
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: from a two thousand and seventeen MVP canadate a team

390
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: that wins the Super Bowl that you take him largely too.

391
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: And this is the third three year that you've been

392
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: cut by a team. Damn right, Philly. Yeah, we had

393
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: to get rid of Jayla Hurst Indie. Yeah, you gotta

394
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: get rid of your Washington. Yeah, you gotta get rid

395
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: of you. How do you spiral out of control like this?

396
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: How do you spiral out of greatness so fast? Well,

397
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: there's no other person in this room better suited to

398
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: talk about this than me, because I did it M

399
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: first three years back up behind Bruce Smith, Phil Hassan

400
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: got my time, but M got my shine. But in

401
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: spot duty fourth year, back surgery, still boom Wiley in

402
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: the building. I bought ten to a half sacks for

403
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: the back, ten a half sacks for the back surgery.

404
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: That part got paid. Go to San Diego break my

405
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: foot before the first game instead of chilling. And I

406
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't say chilling because I was an ass. I should

407
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: have been smarter. Um. I got the surgery and rushed

408
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: back because I got the money. And there's two types

409
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: of pressure, the one to go get the money and

410
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: the one to actually live up to the money. And

411
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: I succumbed to the one that was trying to live

412
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: up to the money. I should have just chilled. They

413
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done jack. Never put on bad film, never

414
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: put out bad film, Never put yourself in position to

415
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: do bad film. And I did damn it. Huh So

416
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: I played through that still ball though thirteen sacks. Now,

417
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: oh God introduced the ego. I all of a sudden

418
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: start thinking, can't do no wrong? How can I do wrong?

419
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: I got a bad back, boom bam, I got a

420
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: broken foot, boom boom bam. Didn't even practice all years,

421
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: still made the Pro Bowl thirteen sacks. What it'd do.

422
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: One thing I learned from this experience is when you

423
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: have injuries, you have to return back to who you work,

424
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: not get better. First, Wow, everyone else is getting better.

425
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: You're just trying to be who you work. That ain't

426
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: gonna cut it. Matching the off season, your goal is

427
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: to get back to who you work, not improved. Meanwhile,

428
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: everyone else's goal is to continue going on that journey further, further, further.

429
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: That's what happened to me. Next year, I tear my

430
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: abdomino wall. Next year shoulder surgery. Sacks. So you got

431
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: the injuries right back, foot, abdomino, wall, shoulder, ten and

432
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: a half, thirteen and a half six three. Something wrong

433
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: either I got hella sorry, which I did in production,

434
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: or something wrong and something was wrong that I wasn't right.

435
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: Not only was that physically compromise, and then that starts

436
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: to take something off the fastball, but worse than that, mentally,

437
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: you start to get damaged, question yourself. You go into

438
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: your own echo chamber of doubt. The doubt birds start flying.

439
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: They fly over you, lower and lower and dropping shit

440
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: on you, and you ain't cleaning it up, and you

441
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: ain't sniping them out of the sky. I start doubting myself.

442
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: You start looking at guys you used to abuse in practice,

443
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: abuse in games, and now you're looking at him different,

444
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: like he could do something with you. You know why,

445
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: Just like in sports, it's not how good they are.

446
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: It's not it's not how good you are. It's actually

447
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: how well you play, and how well you play. It's mental, physical, emotional.

448
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: You gotta bring it all, the spirit, you gotta bring

449
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: it all. And when you're not bringing it all, you

450
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: don't stand a chance against somebody who trust me, is

451
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: gonna bring it all. So I saw Carson Wentz just

452
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: get off, get it off course, lose his way. Yeah,

453
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the injuries, and obviously then you gotta come back and

454
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: try to be yourself, and you're not yourself because now

455
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: you got the knee and you're like, oh man, I

456
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: was a physical runner, but now every step, let me

457
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: sing it. Every step you take, you over there thinking

458
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: and that's the worst when you are playing and everything

459
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: is a self check, is a diagnostic check. Knee good,

460
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: Next ride, knee good, Next ride, knee good. Cut knee good. Yes,

461
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: right out of bounce, knee good. Yes, Okay, sat on

462
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: the bench, knee good. Yes, Okay, my teammate just came

463
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: and hit me on the knee. Knee good. Okay. You

464
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: ain't even thinking about the game like you should be.

465
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: You're not thinking about yourself like you should be, and

466
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Then all of a sudden, you get

467
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: into that little funnel, right, you get into that little

468
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: tornado of self doubt, of bad thoughts, and it just

469
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: eats your way. And that's where mind over matter kicks in.

470
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: And I don't give a damn. If you do get

471
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: physically stronger again, you do get physically able, your mind gone, bro.

472
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: And when Carson wentz from the outside, what do I know?

473
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: I am not a psychologist. I just play one on

474
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: this podcast. Right, it looks like he lost his way.

475
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: Little doubt, little doubt with a little injury, be a

476
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of prompts. And that's what happened to Carson Wents.

477
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's crazy to see what's next for him.

478
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Backup role, let him refresh himself. You know, hit that

479
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: hard reset Geno Smith it figure yourself out. It's okay,

480
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: push pause, you know, make sure that you're not the

481
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: one that loses all. You're still thirty. Tom Brady played

482
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: fifteen more years. It ain't over. It ain't over. So

483
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: hopefully Carson Wentz can get himself back. But first you

484
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: gotta find your way. All right, let's speak enough speaking up,

485
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: finding your way. Let's talk about the NBA right now.

486
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: In the NBA's got a new way. Um, they're nearing

487
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: an agreement new CBA. Shams Oh Shams reports this. Um,

488
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They're trying to lower the draft age

489
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: to eighteen. Now, this last gape for these kids and

490
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: these youth sports are already crazy. It's already big business.

491
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: Soon as your kid can sell candy for registration money.

492
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: And now in our l deals and now they're trying

493
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: to get it back to eighteen, which is gonna kill

494
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: one and does which frankliness should be. Ain't gonna want it.

495
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna maybe go somewhere and not even finish it.

496
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: You said go somewhere just to keep you here so

497
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: we can kind of really, you know, market you sell

498
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: you to the public at large, act like that we

499
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: need you to mature, and then don't finish that commitment

500
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: maturity and go to the NBA make your money. That

501
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: was so stupid. I used to hate sitting in class.

502
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: I watch Lauren Hills. She ain't hand no damn draft age.

503
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: She was just coming back. Oh I got a movie

504
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: come back. All I gotta do an album come back.

505
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: I gotta do a song come back. Meanwhile, all of

506
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: us not like we could go pro with our talent,

507
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: but we didn't even have the opportunity. I was like,

508
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: what kind of why is her field of being an

509
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: actress a musician allowed to do whatever they want? And

510
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: then me over here being a baller man. Let's see

511
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: if the NFL ready for you is he? Is he marketable? Well,

512
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: let's see if the NBA ready for you is the

513
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: marketable Kenn he sell a card, Kenn he sell a

514
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: rookie card like silly crackheads. So now they passed this

515
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: and the Union is smart. The Union on this one

516
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: is like, look, what we're not gonna do is let

517
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: y'all just bring all these eighteen year olds in here

518
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: and get rid of all of the vets M smart play.

519
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know how they're gonna legislate it, but

520
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to tie it to like VET veteran mentorship,

521
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: bring a young and then maybe expand the rosters to

522
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: have like two that exemptions ten plus years fifteen plus

523
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: years only has them, y'all? Do you don's be the

524
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: only one mentor and every team. But point being, I

525
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: like it. I like the fact that they're just saying, look,

526
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: you either go G league nil, forget that college stuff

527
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: if you don't want it or you don't need it.

528
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Go get your money, man, go get your money. So

529
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: pay attention to that, because big big business youth sports

530
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: y'all thought it was bad. Now when I go to Vegas,

531
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: and I'm going to Vegas really soon, I see these

532
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: suckers six seven, all of them, six seven, all of

533
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: them sixteen, all of them wearing flip flops with socks.

534
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: All of them got on the same sweat suit. All

535
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: of them got empty backpacks. All of them think they're

536
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: going to the league. That big business is about to

537
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: get bigger. Because now you've lowered the age you can

538
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: drop down to go get that kid even sooner. That

539
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: kid can get that much. He's that much closer now

540
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: to actually realizing his dreams. Doesn't have to go to college.

541
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: No detours, No nineteen years old, eighteen babies, straight out

542
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: of high school. Crazy motherfucker named ball up. You know

543
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's going down. Sorry for cursing. Okay,

544
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about this story because I might curse. Byron

545
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Jones talked about the NFL, saying, quote much has changed

546
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: in their years today. I can't run or jump because

547
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: of my injuries sustained playing this game. Here we go.

548
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: Do not take the pills they give you. Do not

549
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: take the injections they give you. If you absolutely must,

550
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: consultant outside doctor to learn the long term implications. Big words. Sorry.

551
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: In Partison, it was an honor and privilege to play

552
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but it came at a regrettable cost.

553
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: I did not foresee him my opinion, no amount of

554
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: professional success, war financial gain is worth avoidable chronic pain

555
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: and disabilities. While God speed to the draft class in

556
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: tween twenty three. Ain't that sounds heaven. That sounds deep

557
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: messed up, But it also sounds personal. Here's the thing.

558
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't like sweeping indictments because I don't have the details.

559
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what you swept up with the mess

560
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: that you're saying that occurred. I don't know how many

561
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: jewels got swept up in their mess, right, how many

562
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: got washed away with that as well? Because everyone in

563
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: the NFL has a different experience, but we all know

564
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: there's hand to pain. It is football. You are going

565
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: to get hurt. You're gonna get hurt pretty bad at times.

566
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: Let's just be real now, everyone gets a surgeony, but

567
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna get their bail wrong, everybody gonna get their

568
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: clock cleaned. Everybody gonna get knocked and maybe knocked out.

569
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I got knocked up. But the point is you're gonna

570
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: know you played football. You're gonna be affected, right, you

571
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: don't know you've been in the fight, as they say

572
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: in the streets, you gonna know you've been in the fight.

573
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: You play in the NFL and this sweeping indictment that

574
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: the shots did it, the injections did it, the medicine

575
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: did it. I want to know, if it did it,

576
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: what else did you do? That don't mean you did

577
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: something illegal, but were you someone who was disciplined, did

578
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: you have great work happens? Did you have information on

579
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: what you were taking? Like? There are so many questions

580
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: before I just sit there lazily and say the NFL

581
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: bad you now for disclosure part of the NFL lawsuit

582
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: against the NFL for medical reasons because when I played,

583
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: not Byron Jones, but now I don't know, but we

584
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: can talk Byron Joe. But when I played, oh it

585
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: was blank envelopes baby. When I played, we were we

586
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: were taking pills and getting beer on the plane. We're

587
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: dranking on the plane with that with the prescription. When

588
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: I played, they didn't inform you a jet now and

589
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: that's when I played. Now I know if someone sits

590
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: far back, they can say, oh, that's the same NFL.

591
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: But don't do that. Don't do that to the NFL.

592
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not protecting them. I'm just knowing things have changed.

593
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: They got pamphlets now they talked through it, you got

594
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: your name on the actual envelope or the actual prescription,

595
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: like etc. Things that didn't happen when I played. I'm

596
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: just older. It is what it is. So when I

597
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: hear it is, I'm like, one, I hope you're okay,

598
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: But two, I just don't know how that's happened before

599
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: for a player without their contribution, Like if it's not

600
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: a traumatic incident or accident, just deteriorates. Did you work out?

601
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Did you fight? It were eight years? You didn't just

602
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: arrive here. You journeyed here, right, you're just laying here.

603
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: You got here. I want to know how you got here.

604
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: And I want to know because one, my son likes

605
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: playing football and it will be a dream for him.

606
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure to play in the NFL because he loves football.

607
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: For me, I'm mixed bag. Look, beggars can't be choosy.

608
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: So if he go pro, he go pro. But you know,

609
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: I would like him to play somewhere his fingers and

610
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: his neck doesn't feel like my neck, you know, those

611
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: little things. But point being, I just don't want to

612
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: throw the baby out with the bath water. I don't

613
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,959
Speaker 1: like all these general big large all the NFL did this. Well,

614
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: the NFL may have done that to you. But even

615
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: with this one, I need a little more detail because

616
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like the NFL that I know today

617
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: to be. It is the same NFL I experienced, and

618
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: I wonder what your experience was. All right, all right,

619
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: speaking of experience, let's talk about what just passed Black

620
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: History Month? Right? The question was asked, were actually learning anything? Why?

621
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: Because Kamala Harris warns people against trying to quote erase

622
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: America's past during a Black History Month event. This is

623
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: just a way to get into Black history conversation. Y'all

624
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: know me? I like that she said that. She said,

625
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: everything of our past, America's history is a part of

626
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: America's history. Like you're not supposed to go and extract

627
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: pieces of it, take what you want from it, and

628
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: then piece and puzzle together your own version of a

629
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: new history. And I felt that a lot, especially the

630
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: last couple of years, when we were removing a lot

631
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: of likenesses and symbols and flag Confederate flags, etc. And

632
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: I dub some of the stuff gots to go, But

633
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: for me, none of the stuff has to go in

634
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: terms of how it makes me feel, but I don't

635
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: live in the world by myself. I am empathetic, you know,

636
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: I am capacionate. I will suffer with another because I

637
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: understand it doesn't affect me, but it affects you. So

638
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: let's make sure we handle you. We handle what you need, right.

639
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm not thirsty, you aren't drink up, brother. It's just

640
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: that simple. But Kamala made a great point about going

641
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: too far to erase America's past. You know, some of

642
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: the conversations and education, especially around Florida in terms of

643
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: critical race theory and how much to put into the

644
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: schools and to pushback. But regardless of how you feel

645
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: about that, like, you can't change reality, you can't change

646
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: the experience. And I give it to you in a

647
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: way where it won't be so controversial. I think Reggie

648
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: Bush lost his heisman. Remember that, And the first thing

649
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: everybody's saying is, damn, Reggie gotta give it back his heisman.

650
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: Why we all know he won the heisman, Like, no

651
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: matter what you tell me, no matter how long y'all

652
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: hold his heisman, Okay, he won the heisman. When you

653
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: talk about America's history, good, bad and ugly, you can

654
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: strip it away. You can take it away, you can

655
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: make it go. Hey, oh we don't see it anymore,

656
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: but we know what happened. We know what it is.

657
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: Kind of feels the same, like they're almost like trying

658
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: to minute Black us with these removals and erasures of

659
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I'm like, sounds good, but I'm not

660
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: the one. I am not the audience. You know. One

661
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: thing you gotta learn in this world is not to

662
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: step into everything. Pick your battles right. And it's not

663
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: for me because I'm gonna have power. I'm gonna have

664
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: confidence no matter what's on the outside of me. I'm

665
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: not built to plug in to the outside world and

666
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: drain it for all of his juices and resources and

667
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: then I get powered up. Nah, I'll go back to

668
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: the Old Testament in the Bible, that power and that

669
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: God is in me. This anything I want on the

670
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: outside is on the inside, already ready to be displayed,

671
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: ready to be manifested. Damn right, I said it. So

672
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: it's interesting Black History Month? Are we learning anything? Black

673
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: History Month is interesting now because I celebrated with my

674
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: family at school and it's not a black school or

675
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: black people there, but there's all types of people there. Well,

676
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: one thing I love about the school is they celebrate everything.

677
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean when we went through Chinese New Year and

678
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: then Black History Month, etc. Right, and everyone feels a

679
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: part of it and they feel included. But I am

680
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: also the parent that if we didn't celebrate it and

681
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: we weren't excluded, that okay, it's okay. Why is it okay?

682
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: Because I want people to understand that we have a

683
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: united pride that we need to start enhancing that we're

684
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: all humans. You know that we all are part of

685
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: the shared experience, and long as we keep looking at

686
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: our differences, we're not really hugging and embracing are similarities.

687
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: That's the only reason other than that had your pride

688
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: damn it. Shoot, I'm pumped. I want a damn championship

689
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: we football, so I know man have some black pride.

690
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: But at the same time, make sure that you understand

691
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: that you already possess the power and you should already

692
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: possess the pride. I thought that was interesting, speaking of pride,

693
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's what the peace stands for. Master pride, Master

694
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: p uh he telling an artist to stop talking about him.

695
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: He wants a statue of limitations for Wardy Boyd out there, Warden,

696
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: they keep talking about my name and name out warding.

697
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: He made a great point, He's like, yo to seven years,

698
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: stop talking about me. We ain't got no business together,

699
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: we ain't gonna I was like, that's an interesting point

700
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: that it is impossible to legislate, but it is pretty cool,

701
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: like after seven years of not knowing somebody that you

702
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: had a bad experience with, you can't say anything bad

703
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: about it. I get where he's coming from. What's happening

704
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: is a lot of this. Hardists obviously feel that they

705
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: had issues with him then or now. I don't know,

706
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: because you know, you hear gripes and you're like, really,

707
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: what was all this complaining and and all this bitch

708
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: and back then when he was feeding, y'all was making

709
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: songs like looks a bottle a gang cat? Know all that?

710
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: Where was that? Then? It wasn't because y'are balling. So

711
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of this, just like I said about CTE,

712
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: go back to a couple of podcasts where I talk

713
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: to you about CTE. It triggers based on real life experiences,

714
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: real life circumstances. Doesn't say it doesn't exist. It does. However,

715
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: it needs to activate. I think a lot of this

716
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: gripe being get me, moaning and complaining it all these issues,

717
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: they need something to activate it. A lot of people

718
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: see master P balling, still master P on top, and

719
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: then you not and you're not, and you're with that

720
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: guy that used to be your dude. Y'all were connected,

721
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: and now he winning and you're not. Oh, coach tripped.

722
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 1: You know how it goes. You gotta blame somebody because

723
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: we do not like looking in the mirror. Oh we'd

724
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: rather look out that window than the mirror. So master

725
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 1: P is out that window. Thus the ball of gangs

726
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: cat killer. And they're like, oh yeah, I remember that

727
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 1: time when oh yeah, I remember that time. Because it's funny.

728
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: When you can't win with somebody, you start thinking how

729
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: they can lose because you feel like a loser. You

730
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: start trying to drag them down, crabs in a bucket,

731
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Right, I gotta bring

732
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: this boy down because I can't climb up. Damn. I'm

733
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: over here spitting on to be a master today. So

734
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing, master P like man closed church, these

735
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: foods over there speaking bad on me, talk about on

736
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: my name, just because why oh, I'm still winning and

737
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: you're not. So I don't know the details of these cases,

738
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: but I do know that it's an interesting play when

739
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: you talk about leave people name out of your mouth,

740
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: and it's really for your own good, not theirs. Like

741
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: master P is gonna survive some bad press, but you,

742
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: whoever you are, that probably needs to have a little

743
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: more focus on what they have. Who needs to keep

744
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: master P's name out of your mouth in a way

745
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: that frankly is not telling the full experience, the whole experience.

746
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that maybe you will fuel yourself

747
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: and get yourself better place, in better situation than actually

748
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: trying to bring master P back ten twenty thirty years

749
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: to say what you did wrong. Because you gotta call

750
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: your fouls when you get fouled. We all know that

751
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: from pickup, you get fouled, call your foul in Do

752
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: not be the guy in the fourth quarter when I

753
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: called foul and you say, man, you've been following me

754
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: all game. You should have called it food. Man, I

755
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: ain't called foul when you fouled me twenty minutes ago,

756
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: And that's a you problem. So I don't know. I

757
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: don't know enough about this to hit the gabble, but

758
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: right now it just seems typical. It seems like you

759
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: didn't call foul when you should have called foul. Let's

760
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: talk about this case because this is going to be interesting.

761
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to say controversial, but I just did it,

762
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: so let's say it controversial. Duayane Wade Gabriel Union accept

763
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: humbling in double ACP. He you're not supposed to say

764
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: that in ACP honor after daughter Zaia's legal name change.

765
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: All right, Dwayne Wade's daughter Zaia's officially granted name and

766
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: gender change. LA County judge recently saw I know for

767
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: day is new identity documents that to Zaia is to

768
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: be issued a new birth certificate state and her new

769
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: name and gender. Zaia's petition for a name and gender

770
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: change was fouled last August take him so long and

771
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: drew criticism from Zaia's mother, Savon Savan. Sorry sorry, MoMA

772
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: um funches wave. Oh she kept that, y'all. Remember I

773
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: talked about that. Y'all. Gotta let these last names go.

774
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: If you married into my name and then redivorce, marry

775
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: out of my name, damn. All right. Sorry, she has

776
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: a good point, though I'm not gonna get to it.

777
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Savon contested the petition in November. Oh that's why I

778
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: takes a long, claiming that Zaa was being pressured financially

779
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: to make the decision. Damn, you gotta give her allowance

780
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: some snickers, Hey, Zaia, take you to check a chief?

781
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh yes, sure, whatever, Mama say, it's wrong crazy. Y'all know,

782
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: I'll bring levity. So if y'all want me to get

783
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: deep and heavy on this topic, it's not happening. But

784
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: it is a deep and heavy topic, and that's why

785
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,959
Speaker 1: I bring um Duwayne Way. The Gabrielle Union were honored

786
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: with the President's Award at the twenty twenty three NAACP

787
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: Image Awards. Oh good, good good, all right, full disclosure,

788
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: y'all know, I haven't seen her forever, but I do

789
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: know Gabrielle Union. I knew her before she was Gabrielle Union.

790
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: So y'all go listen to old podcast. I want to

791
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: know how all right, that's the homie though, um serious

792
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: love Duwayne Way. They've seen before, but I don't know

793
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: Dwayne Way like that if I see him, But oh

794
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: my god, Dwayne like you know what I'm saying, but

795
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: I don't know him like that, but I do know him.

796
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: Um this, Dwayne says, quote, all I wanted was to

797
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: do it right. Okay, and that's where I want to start.

798
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: They have a child that has changed sex, transgender child,

799
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: I am here to say no, one raises their hand

800
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: as a parent says, I am anticipating, looking forward, or

801
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: expecting my child to change their sex, change their name.

802
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: I actually know a transgender child that was in our

803
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: school before, and I know their parents. Let's just say

804
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: caught off guard the way Wade as well, there was

805
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,959
Speaker 1: a day. Gabrielle Union as well. There was a day

806
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: now from that day the way way. All he wanted

807
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: was to do it right, make the best decisions you

808
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: have with the information you have. It's trying to play

809
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: on our humanity right now, before we get into the politics,

810
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: before we get into the life decisions, and more importantly,

811
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: what you the viewer, what people feel about someone else's

812
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: life changes. I want to say this, Once you're on

813
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: that path, you just looking for intel information to be

814
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: informed to make the best decision for your child, because

815
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: your child now comes first. Magic Johnson had discussions about this.

816
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: You gotta know, I know Magic. Magic has talked about

817
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: this and his son being openly and gay. You can

818
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: sit there all you want, sit back and say ABC

819
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: for my kid, right, But one thing I know about kids,

820
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: and I got four of them. You create them, You

821
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: and the wife, you and baby mama whoever y'all create them,

822
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: but you don't control them. Now here's the rub of

823
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: this story. Because Duyne Gabrielle Savane, Oh wow, it's time

824
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: to change Zaia's name. It's time for sex to be

825
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: gender to be changed. David asked for that. But you

826
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: put now the child first. And here's where we're going

827
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: to come. The child is not making an informed decision

828
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: because it's impossible to make an informed decision as a child. One.

829
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: I think we all gonna sit there and say, yeah,

830
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: we've been kids before, right at that age, don't know enough,

831
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: not a great enough perspective. So now we go into

832
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: the two roads. One, you have put the child first,

833
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: which is admirable. And you let that child know that

834
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: you are there in support no matter what. You are

835
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: there and security and comfort for that child no matter what.

836
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: And this is why I know they are and this

837
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: is why I know you would be too. I saw

838
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: a kid the other day that was death sign language,

839
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: and it just made me appreciate that not only are

840
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: my kids healthy and big and happy into sports, but

841
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: they have their senses, like they have all five of

842
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: their senses, like things we take for granted. Because I coach,

843
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: I hear parents complaining and bitch about their kids not

844
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: that good or fast or I mean, they do it

845
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: in jest sometimes, but at point being they want their

846
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: kids to be studs. There's a parent out there that

847
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: just wants their kid to hear Dwayne Gabrielle, I'm sure

848
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: they just wanted their child to stay the same sex

849
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: and gender, sex, gender and name. That's not reality. So

850
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: now the real conversation is the onus on the parent

851
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: who have put the child first but doesn't let the

852
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: child lead. What do you do? Well, first of all,

853
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: let me just say I'm glad I'm not in this situation,

854
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: but I do have three kids under the age of Zaiah,

855
00:51:54,920 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: so well, we're gonna talk through this. I remember being

856
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 1: a kid and I wanted to be a Transformer because

857
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: that was my favorite cartoon. Literally, I wanted to be

858
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: a Transformer. But I wasn't a dumb kid, so I

859
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: realized quickly that that wasn't gonna happen, So I just

860
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,479
Speaker 1: need to play with Transformers as much as I could.

861
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: Then I said, oh, I thought I was smart. I

862
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: had epiphany. I can't be a Transformer, I can't be

863
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: Optimist Prime, but I can be the Incredible Hulk. Yeah

864
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: that's a human. Well he's a monster. No. Watch the

865
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: TV show David Banner was a real dude, walked off

866
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: every show at the end, ripped clothes by himself, lonely.

867
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: Had that in my head. I was also the same

868
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:47,479
Speaker 1: kid that wanted to quit football. My dad looked at me, said,

869
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 1: did you commit to football? Yes? I did, Daddy. Okay,

870
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna start what you finished, and you're gonna finish

871
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: what you start. That's it all right. If you started

872
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: finishing right, and if you're in the middle of it,

873
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep going. I remember that. I remember so

874
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: many times where my parents showed me the love and

875
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: support that I needed in that moment based on a

876
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 1: decision I was making or the decision I made. But

877
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: I also knew that my parents were always lead. When

878
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: I look at this situation, my call to question is

879
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: as much as you want to support your kid as

880
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: much as you have to be there for your kid.

881
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,959
Speaker 1: The kid is not in a position to make this

882
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: grand of a decision. Lazily would staying an adult decision,

883
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: but just informed older than this decision. But what are

884
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: you to do? I am not even condemned because that's

885
00:53:54,560 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: true dilemma. Look it up, too possible, choices too badge

886
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: with like, you don't support your kid, what happens? You

887
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: know what happens? You do support your kid, but you're like,

888
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: it's a kid. I just let a kid change their

889
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: identity when the kids doesn't even know their identity. You

890
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: don't know your identity, but you changed it. What happens

891
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: if you wake up one day and want to change

892
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: it again? Oh no, No, that's the high goals the biology.

893
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: Let's go back. You don't know your identity. This is

894
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: not for everyone's consumption. This is not for everyone's interpretation

895
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 1: as much as it is individual. Your identity is yours,

896
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 1: Your signature is shors, your fingerprinting shors, right, but your

897
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: identity if your zaiah has changed without you having full

898
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: knowledge of what it is. Wow, it's fascinating to me. Right,

899
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: my group texts, my real private conversation. That's why I

900
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: do this show, because I like to bring no here.

901
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't like to hide behind. We're not supposed to

902
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: talk like this and say this. We're like the kids

903
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: just too young to make this decision. And the pushback is, well,

904
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: if you don't make the decision, do you still have

905
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: a kid? We're gonna force the kid to be in

906
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: the house and do everything you want and this will

907
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: be constant contention for the rest of its childhood for sure,

908
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: if not adult scarred. Huh. I didn't come to this

909
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: conversation with a solution because I usually don't. I come

910
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: to the conversation to discuss right, to really bring both

911
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: sides to a place where they could respectfully agree or

912
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: distigree me personally in my house, no, no, no, not

913
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: letting my kids change their identity. Why that's me talking too.

914
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: They're not talking back just yet saying that. Why wouldn't

915
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: I because they're too young to understand what they just did.

916
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: And in this world and this country and this society,

917
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: in this house where you protect kids from things based

918
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: on age, I think identity should be in that category.

919
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: I think gender should be in that category. Sex, name.

920
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 1: I'm not letting my kids change their name even though

921
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: my wife changed my kid's name another story. But it

922
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: was in the hospital, so the kid didn't even know

923
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: their name yet, so she gets asked. But long story short,

924
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be controversial. I don't want to

925
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: be controversial, but I do want to communicate, and I

926
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: do want us to talk through experiences like this because

927
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: I think we grow and learn from it and we

928
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 1: stop pitting ourselves against each other, pointing at each other

929
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,479
Speaker 1: and pitted against each other. I don't want this kid

930
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: to have to go through a life where it's just

931
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: resistance and judgment. But I also don't want a kid

932
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: to think that they are in a place where they

933
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: can make big adults as decisions. You can't. So I

934
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 1: wonder what the comments is gonna say on this one.

935
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what y'all talking about. All right,

936
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about this because Boosey and ti h beef

937
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: or what I forgotten? You can't say beef anymore. Y'all

938
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: done co optive beef. Y'all don't stow beef from us

939
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 1: because beef was not negative into big business to turn

940
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: it into like big end in tupockets. And you're you

941
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: mean beef, you mean you gonna kill him? I know,

942
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean we got disagreement, big dogs. Well, anyway, Boosey

943
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: says he's done with his rap friend TI and the

944
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: album done after TI admitted he snitched on his dead cousin. Now,

945
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: if there's anybody to snitch on this, somebody that's dead,

946
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: let's just get that out of the way. But I mean,

947
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: they can't do it longer sentence um. Tip said that

948
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: he had blamed some criminal activity on his dead cousin,

949
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: claimed that he is. He had his homies permission to

950
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: do it, and when they got back to Boosey, he

951
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: said his family and friends putting that pressure on them,

952
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: and they were like, Yo, what you're gonna do. He's snitching.

953
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: So he kept that same energy with Tip every time

954
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: I saw him, as he went with any common punk

955
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: on the streets whatever. So he kept the same energy.

956
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: In an interview he was allegedly paid to conduct. They

957
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: hadn't doing that in there because they're trying to announced

958
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: snipe at He got paid to talk, So what they

959
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: didn't pay him to say something, or did they? That's interesting.

960
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: I always thought you called your friends back and talk

961
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: to them before letting Mixed Company drive a wedge between you.

962
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: That's TI saying that, feeling that, well, this is a

963
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: new day. These days people fall over themselves for lights

964
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: and views. TI had words for the homie for not

965
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: showing up because he had to. He had an event

966
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: where he had his paperwork read his paperwork, letting him

967
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: know he ain't a snitch. He said, I don't like

968
00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: for an inn word to get flied then get shot.

969
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: You hear me. You know he had to ride. You

970
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: got too much dip on your chip? Got too much

971
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: dip on your chip? Man, that's funny. Look, I've been

972
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: waiting to get a snitch conversation into this show, and

973
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: I finally got one. I am not pro snitch. People

974
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: think I am because I would snitch. Look, you do

975
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: a crime around me. It's about four people that I'm

976
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: not snitching on. Maybe maybe not all my kids either. Man,

977
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm not pro snitch. I'm just anti jail. You get it.

978
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: I ain't going to jail for none, y'all. Now, I'm

979
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: not also caught up in some stuff where yo, the

980
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: written agreement or the unridden agreement. You know that that

981
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: small print means yo. Hey, dog, you go you got.

982
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: I ain't no street codes here because you know why.

983
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: I ain't no streets in prison. Street code, yeah, Man,

984
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: you're in prison cold a street code. Ain't no street

985
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: in prison. I'm doing here, man, I spend two of

986
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: my days in jail before, two different times. Shoot, I'm

987
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: singing like a canary. That sound like a dog more

988
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 1: than a canary. I just thought that I was interested. Um. Look,

989
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, Boosey gonna speak his mind. And even if

990
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: he ain't thinking, which sometimes it sounds like he's not,

991
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: he gonna speak that. And T I ain't gonna be stubborn,

992
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be well thought out, I feel, for

993
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: the most part, and strong money. I love hearing TI

994
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: one of those captivating dudes. He say anything. I'm like reason,

995
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: he said, you got too much dip on your chip, Patna.

996
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: But the point is why y'all beefing? I mean, if anything,

997
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: if it's a rule, it's the code, I gotta do it.

998
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: If I'm Boosey, there's an exception to the rule, and

999
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the exception is you snitched on your dead cousin so

1000
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: you didn't have more time. If that's the case, like

1001
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: damn y'all, I don't understand that, like even the hood

1002
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: politics that makes sense, Like there's a Republican, there's Democrat

1003
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: hood politics, and there's an independent, and the independent party

1004
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: should be based on you can snitch if the dude

1005
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: is then I mean, the family ain't gonna care, Like

1006
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: who cares if you gonna if I'm gonna say everything

1007
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: on me because everybody gonna have receipts, and those who

1008
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 1: don't have receipts, let them imagine I don't care because

1009
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the people that matter most to me ain't listening to

1010
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: you anyway. So I just thought that was weird. You

1011
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, It's kind of crazy. All right,

1012
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: it's time to get into my last topic. Look at me,

1013
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm rushing. I'm gonna do this for them real quick.

1014
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: This ain't even a topic. Just tell me how y'all

1015
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:45,320

1055
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: you don't come at me and criticize me. We're not

1056
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: really good friends. I need that balance in that I

1057
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: need that chaos in order that yin and yang. But

1058
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: this one I mumbled because one I got bad hearing.

1059
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Two I got a big old heavy tongue. Three I

1060
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: talked way too much. Four accumulated a lot of spitting

1061
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: on about five I'm thinking as i'm talking. Sometimes shoot

1062
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: get to the point. I'm not getting to the point.

1063
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't like getting to the point. I don't like

1064
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: binary conversations. I don't like get to the point. I

1065
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: understand y'all need to know where I am in context,

1066
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,919
Speaker 1: but I ain't about to rush to No. Damn, here's

1067
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: a statement. This is what I feel. Peace out, We're

1068
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna discuss. We're gonna talk through these times or her,

1069
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: all right? And then he said, you know where my

1070
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: take is before you Now you're just talking. Now your

1071
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: first two points didn't make sense that you just kept writing.

1072
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: And last time, I'm checking out. One single person like

1073
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: that comment, and people like a lot of comments that

1074
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: are bad against me, So you need to be right

1075
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: about your badness. You're gonna talk trash about me. You're

1076
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna talk trash. You're gonna shoot at the king. You

1077
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: better shoot right. So far you ain't shot right. Potnam

1078
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: dared that, dude. This is some love at thanks for nothing?

1079
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: On YouTube? You could tell when someone is confident, competent,

1080
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: and comfortable in their own skin. They can't wait to

1081
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: tell you about the mistakes they made because they are rare,

1082
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: interesting and sometimes hilarious. That is me. I love talking

1083
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 1: trash about myself. I do why I am confident. I've

1084
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: always been confident. Ship. If I want confident, I wouldn't

1085
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: be here. I wasn't confident. Boy, it was in a problem.

1086
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Them gaxes would have ran me into some of them

1087
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: gangs and then it would have been one. But I

1088
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: like to just impact you with my scars, not impress

1089
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: you with my success. Whatever I've achieved in success, you

1090
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: guys know it. You got Wikipedia, you see me whatever

1091
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: it may be. But who cares. I'm trying to talk

1092
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: about the journey to get into being me and the

1093
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: journey to become who I want to be. I'm not done,

1094
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: and I hope that inspires or connects with you. Guys.

1095
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Who are you? Who are you? Who do you want

1096
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: to be? That's what I'm looking for. So thank you.

1097
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for nothing, because that was actually something. Thanks for

1098
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: something on YouTube, ticky time, what's the worst things you

1099
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: spend money on? Oh god, that's easy. Two days jump

1100
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: to my guy. I bought a boat and I bought

1101
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: a Rolls Royce. The boat worked. The best thing about

1102
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: the boat is I bought it right before my mom

1103
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: passed away, and I needed that solace. I needed something

1104
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: trying to heed it. I needed something on the water

1105
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: like that to just heal through my mom's death. So

1106
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: as dumb as a decision as it was, because you

1107
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: know what they're saying, boating and buying yachts. There's only

1108
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: two good days in yotting, right the day you purchase

1109
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: it and the day you sell it. Everything else is

1110
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: fucking bleeding you cash all. It was so expensive, so expensive,

1111
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: so stupid. But boy, I had a forty eight foot

1112
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: see ray pretty. It was named a Rocca at least

1113
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: after my first born. Rest your kids ain't gonna get

1114
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: no boats, relict. The names on their names is on

1115
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: the tables around the house and gifts, gifts and lunches

1116
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: or backpacks, not a boat. Oh man, Yeah, I was

1119
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,800

01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: know I don't even know what to eat when I

01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: go there, but you know we're gonna go. We get there,

1124
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: boom boom, Oh yeah this is fun. Then we finished

1128
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,600

1129
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: keep the sentence going like don't don't pause, because then

1130
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: it's like for emphasis, I'll go check off a boat.

1131
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Just go over there and hang out. Maybe you have

1132
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: a drink or two, you know, play a little who

1133
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: knows some spade. She ain't heard nothing I said at

1134
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: the boat. That boat got her stuck. I was undefeated

1135
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: on that boat. Let me just say that. The Rose

1136
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Royce same thing, except it broke down one time when

1137
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: I was going to the airport on the way to Vegas,

1138
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 1: and I was like, I think it was like eighty

1139
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars sending eighty thousand dollars to fix the engine.

1140
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh him, I bout this car and

1141
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: then the engine break down and I gotta spend sending

1142
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: any thousand els. I was like, bucket. So I was

1143
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: mad at that, And frankly, that's right around when Uber

1144
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: started to come, and people started to just they were

1145
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 1: always doing cass but Uber especially and cast were just winning.

1146
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: I remember this cad. I told this story before at

1147
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: the club one time, and I had two with me beautiful,

1148
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: but he had three with him more beautiful. And they

1149
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: all jumped in the cab and he was like, Wily,

1150
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: meet me at the spot. Hit your boy. Ahalla. I'm

1151
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: looking like I am overdoing it. I am doing too much.

1152
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing three much. So those two purchases vain purchases,

1153
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: but one did have healing and one did have sexual healings.

1154
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Let me stop, all right, Let's get to the Wiley ism.

1155
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Today's Wiley ism is the more keys you have, the

1156
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: less you own. It's a funny white ism today. You

1157
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: know why because that's me. When I had a gang

1158
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: of keys, I ain't had ship. Now I got like

1159
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: three keys. Actually I don't even have a house key

1160
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: on there. I have my car keys, and I own

1161
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: a bunch more than I did then. Made me think

1162
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: of that was because like growing up, my landlord used

1163
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,839
Speaker 1: to come by and he handial keys. Then the janitor

1164
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: would come by or whatever, and you would hear him coming.

1165
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Terrible keats everywhere and I'll see that with my homie

1166
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: sometime too. Like my homies, the ones that ain't doing

1167
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: as well as others, they got a gang keys and

1168
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: the ones that are chilling and doing that thing, and

1169
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: the keys pull out an app and access like stuff

1170
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: like that. But it really is a deeper message. Pick

1171
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: fewer things in this world to try and open up

1172
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: to unlock and discovery. Be strategic and then discover those things.

1173
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: So you know, pick your pick your spots. Me I

1174
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: didn't pick a lot of things because I knew, man,

1175
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: there's somebody way more talented and passionate about it than me.

1176
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: I run a simple formula. I ain't doing something I

1177
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: know I can't do or I don't want to do,

1178
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: so that leaves me a lot of things to do.

1179
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: If people act like that, it's like, why would you

1180
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: limit yourself? Limit myself and stuff I want to do

1181
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: right now that I can't do that I'm passionate about

1182
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: that I can't get to because I'm not limited. I'm

1183
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 1: not trying basketball. It ain't happening. I'm just gonna go

1184
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: out there shoot Jacob air Bass. Oh well, sorry, stereotype.

1185
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: I didn't live up to you. Um there, I can't draw.

1186
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I'm not. I don't care about

1187
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,919
Speaker 1: art like that. You can't good for you. Follow your passions,

1188
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: follow your talents. Me I'm not doing it. But guess

1189
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: what I can do? DJ yep, do all those things.

1190
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: So be smart about the things you do. Be smart

1191
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 1: about how many doors you're really trying to unlock. The

1192
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: one with the fewer keys is actually one who's doing it,

1193
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: who's owning it? All right, that's gonna do it for
