And it was some interesting news that came 86 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: out about UH this year not being UH any testing 87 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: for weed. And I found that to be very very interesting, 88 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: UH considering all of the implications and consequences in the past. UH. 89 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: First name that came to mind to me was Josh Gordon. Um, 90 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: there were a couple more names that obviously came to 91 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: mind as well. I think Ricky Williams came to mind 92 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: as I was applying it to football. UM, let's start there. 93 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: The NBA saying they're not going to test UH for 94 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: we smoking UH this year? Does this does? Is this 95 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: a sign of too much power? Or is this just 96 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: a sign of the times? Guys? What you got t J. 97 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: The times have changed and it's it's just simple, and 98 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: I mean it's a combination of both. To be honest 99 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: with you, When you have guaranteed contracts and we're not 100 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: talking guarantees of thirty forty million, We're talking guarantees of 101 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars, the players are gonna will 102 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: that type of power, and so the times have changed. 103 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: There's plenty of states where marijuana is legalized, and so 104 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: if you're in corporation being the NBA and there is 105 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: a band on marijuana. But this state, California, I believe 106 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: Colorado was one of the first states UH to pass 107 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: it and make it legal. How it's just they're adjusting 108 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: to what is going on in the world. Being the NBA. 109 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: I believe other UH pro leagues will eventually adapt this. 110 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: I played junior college with a guy was drafted to 111 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, could not stop smoking. I believe he played 112 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: one year in the league. One year in the league 113 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: because was it because of him testing positive? Testing? He 114 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: tested positive? Wasn't his performance that was leading to him not? No, 115 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: he only played one year. He was a six one 116 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: corner that ran four three. But I'm saying was he 117 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: was he if you take away the weed, is he 118 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: still on the team? Oh? One? Interesting? Even playing in 119 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati with O'Dell Thurman and Chris Henry Odell Thurmant never 120 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: really got back into the league because of the marijuana. 121 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of guys when we talk 122 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: NFL that they've lost their careers because they weren't able 123 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: to stop smoking or doing whatever they were doing. And 124 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: so I believe this is a game changing. But to 125 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: answer your question, it's a combination about they're adjusting tremendously 126 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: to the times. Man, when I heard this information come 127 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: out this week, I was just you know, I was 128 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: flat out just wow. I mean, we all know that 129 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: it's a sign of the times and everything is changing 130 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: as far as the culture is, you know, in sports 131 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: and marijuana. But you know, being a an athlete playing 132 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: professional sports and knowing that there are no more no 133 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: consequences or whatever you may call it, suspensions or losing 134 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: your career or job for marijuana is just it just 135 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: opens up a lot of doors for professional sports. I 136 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: don't think that the NFL web will never to adjust 137 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: to that. You don't. You don't think so. I just 138 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: don't think so. And then I think about one player 139 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: in mind, Randy Gregory for the Dallas Cowboys three or 140 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: four years ago. This man lost his job, he lost 141 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: his career for you know, failling marijuana tests which you 142 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: probably failed two or three times. And you look at 143 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: all everything that's going on with the marijuana sports and 144 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: the decriminalization of it for you know, people who have 145 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: committed crimes or whatever it may be. But now this 146 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: man has been reinstated to the NFL everything for, then 147 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: it ain't testing him for and he's arguably the best 148 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: player on the team. The man, that man he has 149 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: what nine tense has come in and bawled out yes. Right. 150 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: So I just don't see that the NFL will ever 151 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: adjust to this. But kudos to the NFL. They they 152 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: take care of each other because of the players union 153 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: is their league, So kudos and those guys. But I 154 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: don't think that the NFL will adjust to this anytime soon. 155 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: Is there is there an idea that when you look 156 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: at the first step, um, not testing for and it's 157 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: funny that y'are saying marijuana. You're trying to be proper 158 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: and you know we call it we well I have, Yeah, 159 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's true. I don't know how that won't 160 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: works anyway. Um, I just wonder when you're talking about 161 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: the idea of not testing for the weed grass Mary Juana, Uh, 162 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: I just wonder, are we opening up a door as 163 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: another door with Pandora's box being opened up with the 164 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: NBA that if this this happens in other sports arenas 165 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: that everybody says it's a gateway drug. Are you opening 166 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: up the door for worst things to take place? Because 167 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: we all know anyone who most people bought Whitfield comes 168 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: to mind, shouts out to Bob, play with him, and 169 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: we play with him the New York Plex. Uh, Bob's 170 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: was smoking because he was in pain and it was 171 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: medicinal and and it worked out for him. He was 172 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: way ahead of his time. He was ahead of his 173 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: sign right or or ahead of his time. And and 174 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: so I look at it like, Okay, if you have 175 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: guys that are responsibly using cannabis to be able to 176 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: to be what what it is that they need to 177 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: be week in and week out in such a grueling game, 178 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: and if guys in the NBA or hockey or baseball 179 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: are using the same reasoning, I understand that, right. I 180 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: can get with that. It makes a lot of sense. 181 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to get strung out on opioids and different 182 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,119 Speaker 1: things like that. We've seen, uh, the type of impact 183 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: that these painkilling drugs have had on on on our communities. 184 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: So if you're using a natural medicinal medicine to feel better, 185 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't see that as being, you know, an egregious 186 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: situation um to walk into. But what I do see 187 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: is there's the possibility that the abuse of getting that 188 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: that inch goes into a mouth where you start maybe 189 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: using other other drugs or other other services. But they're 190 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: they're not going to it's not going to be legal 191 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: in the league. And this is what always baffled me, 192 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: and some viewers listening may or may not know this. 193 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: What always baffled me was when guys will get suspended, 194 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: because when you get suspended, that's not your first positive tests, 195 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: that's like the third test. But what makes it worse 196 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: is we know when we're getting tested every year. How 197 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: can you fell a test that you know when it's coming, 198 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: Like in training camp, guys like you. Now, you guys 199 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: don't have to say I've never smoked in my life, 200 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: and so I've never smoked anything in my life. And 201 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: so guys in training camp they want to go the 202 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: first day. You know, in training camp, they do the linebackers, 203 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: they do the receivers, they do the old line. And 204 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: after you take that test and training camp you can smoke, 205 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: you don't get tested again. And so that baffles me 206 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: that guy's felt it. But if guys are gonna go 207 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: and do harder drugs, um, they have a problem that's 208 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: more than just smoking weed, and they need to get 209 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: help and address that situation themselves. But they will find 210 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: a way to try to justify You already know that. Yes, 211 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: Look in twelve years of me playing you know, in 212 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: this league NFL, I was never a big pill taker 213 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: because I was afraid of you know, getting addicted to 214 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: the open yours or the medicine as the pain killers 215 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: and different things like that. But now that I look 216 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: at it, what I you know, smoke weed now to 217 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: feel better? I absolutely would. I absolutely would, and there's 218 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And it's well going back to 219 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: what TJ said, you know, guys would get suspended for 220 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: smoking weed playing football. We had a we had a 221 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: system to where when you walked into the locker room 222 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: and you saw you know, your boys his name hanging 223 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: on in front of his locker if he wasn't at 224 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: work yet, you will pick up the phone and call 225 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: him be like, yo, man, you got a drug test 226 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: when you come here. You know, just make sure you right, 227 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: you better go do something because you don't want to 228 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: miss this chat for the next you know, three or 229 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: four weeks or whatever may be. But it's definitely a 230 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: game changer, and I just don't see the NFL adjusting 231 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: to this anytime soon. They're gonna try to hold off 232 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: as long as they possibly can. That's just the way 233 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: that I see it. And knowing that business and understanding it, 234 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's something that they're gonna have to do. 235 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it has and they just signed a new CBA, 236 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: so it will be a while.

We we got some sound from the Jason 291 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: McIntyre Show earlier from Jared Dudley before we jump into 292 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: talking about the new development on on Weed and not 293 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: testing for it. I wanted you to hear what what 294 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: Dudley had to say about um one. Mr James Harden, 295 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: you can only go to Philly. There's nowhere else. Brooklyn 296 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: doesn't have enough. Philly has been Simmons, the girl on 297 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: the league, Denver, no, Milwaukee, no who else? Saying Miami 298 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: Heroes not enough. You don't they want to keep up 299 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: hero if you hero and Bam, you can't give it 300 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: those two. But it has to be there, and you 301 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: don't want to discardle superstar and James Harden's unlike other superstars, 302 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: not being the most professional, not being there, our different 303 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: places to bad look and when you can get an 304 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: All Star, its potential superstar capability and Ben Simmons, you 305 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: gotta take it. They don't happen. Man Al, you know 306 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: a lot about this game. You've experienced it, the business 307 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: side of it, the front, the back. What's your take 308 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: on that on that quote? Is is it James Harden 309 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and is that a Is that a good look? Uh? Man, 310 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: It's tough, right because I think if he's trying to 311 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: win a championship, I don't think that's the move. You know. 312 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is if championship is what he's trying 313 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: to accomplish, I think that. You know, as you see 314 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: in the league right now, you gotta be you gotta 315 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: be three superstars to compete to win one. So you 316 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: have to find a way to Brooklyn and they keep 317 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: Kyrie and Katie is the only way that to me, 318 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: it makes sense. Now, let let me ask you this 319 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: how this t J is it is? Does James Hard? 320 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: Does James Harden have too much power? You're not showing up, 321 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: You're chilling with rappers. You got a black head coach 322 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: and there's not many minority head coaches and you're doing 323 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: him like this. Is he abusing the power that he has, 324 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: a super starting a contract that he has, I guess. 325 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: I mean you could say he's abusing it, but I 326 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: mean he's got to remember the world we're living right now. Man, 327 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: I mean, these dudes is making now only are they 328 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: making thirty forty fifty million dollars with a contract. They're 329 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: making that off the court with sneakers and everything else, 330 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's just like these 331 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: guys now just draw the line to saying if they 332 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: don't want to be somewhere, they're just gonna act out 333 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: until they get moved, you know what I'm saying. So, 334 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's not just him. I mean I think 335 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: any disgruntal start right now, you know, in the situation 336 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: like in the predicting with the league is right now, 337 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: this is just how they normally gonna act. Yeah, Yeah, 338 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: it's plex Uh. James harden Um, I believe that, you know, 339 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: he has to if he wants to win the championship, 340 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: he has to get out of Houston. And he knows 341 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: that all the great things that he's been doing over 342 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: the past four or five years has been nothing less 343 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: than legendry. But he has to score forty or fifty 344 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: or night for them to compete and win. So I 345 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: think that he has to get out of Houston. He 346 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: knows that if he wants to, you know, to be 347 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: one of those great players in history, he has he 348 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: has to leave Houston. And he knows that and and 349 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: the longer you you're playing in any sport, every player 350 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: wants to get to that the pinnacle of their sport 351 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: and to win the world championship. I don't know where 352 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: he may go, but I think that he has to 353 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: get out of Houston to definitely win a championship. Now 354 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: I agree, I mean, unless they can bring unless they 355 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: can get him some more help. But I mean, I 356 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: think that he's probably the environment that he wanted, you 357 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He wanted that environment where he 358 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: could dominate the ball and you know, and have to play, 359 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, and get forty points a night, you know 360 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And they showed that. Obviously he's one 361 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: of the greatest scorers in the history of the game. 362 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: But I think that now that he's you know, cemented 363 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: that as to his legacy, I think now he has 364 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: to realize that if he does want to win, he's 365 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: gonna have to change the way he played in a 366 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: dramatic way, you know what I'm saying, Especially if you 367 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: can get on the team where he has other good 368 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 1: players to play with, because you know, as of right now, 369 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: has always been at least specially the last five seasons, 370 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: it's all been just spread the court, you know, set 371 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: a pickup top, get the switch and just watching work 372 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: and everybody else kind of just stands around. But that's see, 373 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: when you get to the playoffs, that style of play 374 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: just doesn't work. You understand, if you don't have everybody involved, 375 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: you guys have real chemistry, You're gonna get exited right 376 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: real quick. Hey, let's let's shift gears here. Obviously, due 377 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: to the circumstances that Covid has created, the NBA has 378 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: agreed not to test for marijuana, as its stated in 379 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: the in the story, I love saying weed. I mean, 380 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: we it's more genuine than saying marijuana. But you know, 381 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: everybody has their different ways of saying it, cannabis, smoke, dope, whatever, 382 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: you know. It's it's God's it's God's plant and give 383 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: to so many people on on this planet, and it 384 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: has just not been respected the way that it has 385 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: needed to be. But you have turned it into a 386 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: brand and a business bro and and seeing where things 387 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: are right now, I would say the first part of 388 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: my question to you would be what does this mean 389 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: for the NBA having the opportunity to move into a 390 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: unchartered territory of space and rules and testing based upon 391 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: the pandemic. And two what does that mean for someone 392 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: like you that was ahead of the game and has 393 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: been able to establish a brand and an awareness because 394 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: it's not just selling bud right this there is a 395 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: real science. I've listened to a lot of your interviews, 396 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: a lot of things. The reasoning behind why this was 397 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: important to you. Just just give me that is is this? 398 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: What does this mean for the NBA for this to happen, 399 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: and what does that mean for someone like yourself who 400 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: is ahead of the game. Well, first of I'll addrest 401 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: it from us, you know, for me personally, you know, hopefully, um, 402 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: you know, obviously I've been formulating some products, uh, you know, 403 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: especially on the topical side that hopefully will be in 404 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: locker rooms as early as this season. You know what 405 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying, TVD products that I know players can really 406 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: benefit from, especially dealing with all the aches and pains 407 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: that we deal with on a daily basis. You know, 408 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: I always have to tell people and as you were, 409 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: three men know on this call, you know what I'm saying. 410 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: As an athlete, you're never one percent healthy. That goes 411 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: out the window in high school, you know, what I'm saying, like, 412 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: it's never the point where we're one percent healthy because 413 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: it's unheard of. But you know, from a recovery standpoint, 414 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, the reason why we all had long careers 415 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: because we really focus on, um, you know, taking care 416 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: of our body and you know, taking supplements and any 417 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: whatever it took. You know what I'm saying, so that 418 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: we can get close to one hundred as possible, and 419 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: a lot of times you know that involves you know, 420 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: prescription pills, opie, all these different things like that, and 421 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: we know, like you know, horror stories right from teammates 422 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: that have abused them and you know, had all kinds 423 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: of issues after they got done playing the game or 424 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: the sports that they played. For Now, with CBD and 425 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: with cannabis, you know, this is an alternative natural rate 426 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: for gods to medicate. And we're happy that all professional 427 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: sports and now taking the stance in regards to allowing 428 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: players to have access to it. You know what I'm 429 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: saying that that's so very very important, and I think 430 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: that what helped the NBA's or the players causes that 431 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: in the bubble they will allowed to use cannabis, and 432 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: it was cannabis being used. I've even heard rumors that 433 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: there was a floor in the hotel where you actually 434 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: could go, and actually I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt it. 435 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: So I think that you know the fact that everybody 436 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: knew that those guys are using, and when you look 437 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: at the quality of play, the quality of play was 438 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: super high. You know, that was one of the things 439 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: that people was always concerned with, the guys will come 440 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: to the game high and forget the plays and all 441 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: this other nonsense. But you know that went out the 442 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 1: window after you see the quality of play. And then 443 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: also from a medical standpoint, you know, soft tissue injuries 444 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: were down, so there was other There was a lot 445 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: of benefits that they found that players, you know, having 446 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: access that you know, they were able to go out 447 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: there and play at a super high level in the game. 448 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: And it's a beat. Now, where where were you at, 449 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: UM in your career when you decided this is something, 450 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: this is the path that you wanted to go down, 451 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: UM using marijuana products to help athletes. And with you 452 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: being a former player in the NBA that played a 453 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: long time, sixteen years, UM, it seems natural for you guys. 454 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: When I say you guys yourself and your company Viola 455 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: and the NBA forming a partnership to where you can 456 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: be their supplier. It seems like it's just a natural 457 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: merge with a former player and has this product. Um, 458 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, can you answer those Where were you at 459 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: in your career when you decided let me see if 460 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: I can make this a business and uh you're being 461 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: a former player, natural uh merge with you as an NBA. Yeah, man, 462 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: it was, man, it just kind of happened for me, 463 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: to be honest, man, like I you know, I had 464 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: to I had to box me surgery and I think 465 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: it was two thousand and eleven, end of that season, 466 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven twelve, and you know, just sitting there 467 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: and just realizing like you know what this might be. 468 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: It might be it and then you know, obviously unlocking 469 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: and you know with myself, you know, for my personal 470 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: use from cannabis, and just realizing like, okay, I just 471 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: came out of surgery and normally they gave me, you know, 472 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: I can count and all this stuff, but I'm literally 473 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: sitting here taking like you know, CBD and THHD tinctures 474 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: managing my pain. And then I just realized that it 475 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: was a lot bigger. You know this, I just felt 476 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: like I could have a bigger impact on the industry 477 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: in regards to changing the stigma. And you know, I 478 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: just started thinking, like, you know, if if we can 479 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: really as a brand, you know, and as that organization 480 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: as a company, if we can change this. You know, 481 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: this is like this is a legacy play man, Like 482 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: this could be bigger than anything I ever playing basketball. 483 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: And you know, once my grandmother, you know, my grandmother's 484 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: obviously the first thing, you know, her trying it for 485 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: her black coma. And you know, I tell people all 486 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: the time, you know, my grandmother's most religious woman that 487 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: I know, And for her to be open minded at 488 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: seventy nine years old to try cannabis, and she tries it, 489 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna check on it. She's down to us 490 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: crying reading a Bible, and as you know, the first 491 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: time she read a Bible, and over three years, it 492 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: just completely changed the way I'll view cannabis. You know 493 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Cause I'm from rs New Jersey and 494 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: the war on drug was real. I mean I had 495 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: two kids get locked up, you know what I'm saying 496 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: in eighth grade, you know, for having we for nickel 497 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: bags and they locked hers. So that's just when everything 498 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: just started to change for me. And I just started 499 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: to realize that, like, there's a lot of people that 500 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: need access to this, and I just felt like this 501 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: plant needed a spokesman, you know what I'm saying, to 502 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: tell about how amazing it is. And it just ended 503 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: up turning into a business. To your point where you know, 504 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: partnership with the NBA, I think it's just natural, you know, 505 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: especially in regards to they always tell us, you know, 506 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: when we're in then that they'll do anything to support 507 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: us on you can show me now exactly because I 508 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: definitely cause you know, I see your point. Like I 509 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: did this while I was playing. You know, I lost 510 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: my finance. My financial advisor pretty much fired me because 511 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: I was doing this. He was like, you're gonna go 512 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: to jail, and you're not taking me to jail with 513 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: You're wandering money and all the stuff. And you know 514 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So like I really, you know, I 515 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: took a chance, man, Like this wasn't when I did this, 516 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't as popular as it is now. How we're 517 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: seeing him talking about it on the radio. When I 518 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: told when I did this. It was a dark secret, 519 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I had a cultivation and 520 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: and uh and Denver, Colorado with my cousin that you know, 521 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: my hands was all over it. But I couldn't be 522 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,239 Speaker 1: on the paperwork, you know what I'm saying. But at 523 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you did a trap, and 524 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: you did a paper trail, it would lead right back 525 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: to me, you know what I'm saying. So uh, you know, 526 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: I just feel like at the end of the day, 527 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: to your point, like you know, I was one of 528 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: the first ones to jump out there. Um, you know, 529 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm doing it for the right reasons, you know what 530 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, you know, a lot of people get 531 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: into this thing just thinking about the financial side of it, 532 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm approaching it more from the side 533 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: of like, you know, helping people, you know, letting people 534 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: understand that this plan is medicine. And now that I'm 535 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: really deep into it, I have to realize you all 536 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: this time that you know, there's not enough black people 537 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: involved in the industry. And when you think about the 538 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: way that the War on drugs was pretty much it 539 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: was aimed at our community, and how many people have 540 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: lost their lives over cannabis and now is billions of 541 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: dollars being made and we're still locked up. It's just crazy, 542 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that's what I'm fighting for. 543 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm an advocate for, and that's what we're using our 544 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: company for, you know, the springboard other opportunities of ownership, 545 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, for people of color, mainly black.

And I'm 554 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: sitting here looking at it that you know, the topicals 555 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: that you use for your your brand penetrate your body 556 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: four or five times faster and deeper than a a 557 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: tiger bomb, which we all use when we was playing 558 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: just put the tyger bomb when like that.

They're following the guidelines that we're seeing 667 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: at the federal level. Federally, they're looking at decriminalizing marijuana. 668 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: A lot of states have done. The port of fact 669 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: is that it's past time for us to stop penalizing 670 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: individuals and communities for marijuana. Happened throughout the eighties in 671 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: terms of the Rockefeller Lords and in terms of the 672 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: other leagues following suit. I think back to a player 673 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: like Randy Moss, who would have brought a national championship 674 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,439 Speaker 1: to Florida State or Notre Dame. Okay, if they didn't 675 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: penalize him for marijuana. All right, pastime, what the players 676 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: have to access, Dre?

Uh. 680 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: I played with a few teammates over the years, and 681 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: Randy Moss signed to go to college at Florida State, 682 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: and he's exactly correct, and he ended up getting kicked 683 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: out of school for smoking weeds. And I had a 684 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,439 Speaker 1: conversation with Sami Roll was a good friend of mine, 685 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: all pro cornerback, and he said that the first time 686 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: he saw Randy Moss, he couldn't believe how how talent, 687 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: how fast, how good this man was. He went home, 688 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: went back to his dorm and told everybody, Hey, man, 689 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: I just seen the best thing I've ever seen in 690 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: my life, not even a human, Randy Moss. And he 691 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: went to practice the next day and he was gone 692 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: because of him smoking weed. And look like he said, 693 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. He would have bought a 694 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: championship in Florida State. There's no doubt about it. Could 695 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,919 Speaker 1: you imagin him on that team m hm hm back 696 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: in nine, all those guys that they would loaded.
