I was 103 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: out of town visiting my brother Kyle. You've you've heard 104 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: him on the show before. I had a revelation that 105 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: you know, it hurt the ear. I just called myself 106 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: America's darling and I had a huge confidence kicking the 107 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: balls this past weekend. And uh so we're going to 108 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: get into that. And a legend passed away this past 109 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: week as well, so we will make sure we have 110 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: a moment of silence for the Jews. So this past weekend, 111 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: I was the Hope took old family. We went to Manhattan, Kansas, 112 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: saw my brother, saw his family, We had a special 113 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: ceremony for my nephew. It was I was so proud 114 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: of him. I was very excited. And I think everybody 115 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: had a great time and everybody definitely appreciated this past weekend. 116 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: But I will say there was a there was a 117 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: moment on Saturday afternoon that like, man, it just kind 118 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: of you know, you have one of those moments where 119 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: it just kind of hits you like a ton of bricks, 120 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: And it could be mentally, it could be physically, but 121 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: you just did you just didn't see it coming. So 122 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: here's the deal. I'm playing basketball. We have my fourteen 123 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: year old son and I actually, you know, due to 124 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: some health issues, I couldn't really play a lot last year. 125 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: But as you may have heard last week, I got 126 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: a shot of that iron, a couple of doses of 127 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: that iron over the last couple of weeks. Now, so 128 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: I had some of that false confidence where I felt really, 129 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: really good and I was like, yeah, let's go, let's 130 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: go ball. You know, I was ready to take it 131 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: to them. And I played two games. Because I'll tell 132 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: you I played the first game and I'm getting We 133 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: played twenty one. Hopefully you guys are understanding the rules 134 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: of twenty one. It's anybody can play any number of people. 135 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: But we were playing one on one. There's no take backs, 136 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: so the ball is always live. If you make it, 137 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: you shoot free throws. You know you anyway, you're playing 138 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: to twenty one, okay, but you got to end the 139 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: game with twenty one. You can't. You can't bust otherwise 140 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: you drop back a little bit. So's there's some strategy 141 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: to it on how you score. But he was, you know, 142 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: I was a little rusty. He came out with a 143 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: big lead to start the game. Then I just started grinding, 144 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, I just started the lockdown on defense, just 145 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: getting quick buckets and ended up coming back tying the 146 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: game before eventually taking a seventeen sixteen lead and then 147 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: never looked back took the lead. I was exhausted after 148 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: the game. No, Lie just absolutely destroyed. Part of that's 149 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, it was hot outside, you know, like I 150 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: was saying in the opening, it was high. It's like 151 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: that fall summer feeling spring, you know, ninety plus degrees. 152 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: There's just something about the Kansas, Kansas air kind of dry. 153 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: You know. It was really really wearing me down. Plus, 154 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: like I just said, I haven't played long time, so 155 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: you know, and he's a track athlete. Plus he's always 156 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: balling or doing something outside, so he's in great shape. 157 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is I won, and I 158 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: survived to tell my tale. But it took me a 159 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: bit to catch my breath and decide if I could 160 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: go again. So, you know, later I'm feeling I'm feeling 161 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: pretty good. I'm like, I think I think I go again. 162 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: I think it would really prove something if I could 163 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: win again, you know, really take it to him. So 164 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: we go out there and we're playing, and I I 165 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: wanted to start the game different than I did the 166 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: first one, so I needed to get buckets quick. So 167 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: I took a quick lead, and I got all the 168 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: way up to twenty busted and had to go back 169 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: and then he was up like sixteen thirteen or something, 170 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: and he just pulled away. I just I couldn't. I 171 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: was trying to catch up. It was just too much. 172 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with I couldn't Breathe just straight 173 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: up not have enough oxygen in these lungs to be 174 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: able to keep up with the fourteen year old. So 175 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: he did win Game two. I'm gonna tell the world now, 176 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: right now, Okay, America, I lost to a fourteen year old. 177 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: And that's where you know, a hard truth had to 178 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: really set in Because for years and years, when I'm 179 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: driving through my neighborhood, I'll just see some randow teenagers 180 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: playing basketball in the driveway. The first thing that pops 181 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: in my head every single time is I would smoke 182 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: that kid every single time. And if there's somebody in 183 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: the car with me, I say that everything. I would 184 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: smoke that kid. I just want to like pull up, 185 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: we'll get out of the car go up and just 186 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, stuff the shit out of them. Let's play, 187 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: and then just take it to them, probably dunk on them. 188 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: That's if the RIM's lower, you know, because I can't 189 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: dunk on a ten foot rim. But if if the 190 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: RIM's lower, I shoot be dunking for days. Call me 191 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: dunkin donuts. So that's the thing I as I lose 192 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: to Branden in that second game and I struggle to 193 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: survive and breathe through that first game, I remember that 194 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: when I see these kids, you know, playing in the neighborhood, 195 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: that I instantly think in my brain, I would smoke them. 196 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: I've come to the realization that I probably would lose 197 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: if I was to play them now. And that's hard. 198 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: That's a hard fact to take, you know. That's you know, 199 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm a forty year old man, like I'm proud I 200 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: have beaten my peers in basketball. You know, I remember 201 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: in high school. I'm bringing up high school and that 202 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: was over twenty years ago. But in high school, you know, 203 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: that was the thing. After school, I'd play my friends 204 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: one on one, and that was my thing. I would 205 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: go and I would beat you it. Whatever it took, 206 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: I would beat you. There was one guy, Mike. He 207 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: was like my nemesis. There was something about his style 208 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: of play that I struggled with, and I just wasn't 209 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: very good at defense. In fact, I will say the 210 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: best game of defense I've ever played was played this 211 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: past weekend in Manhattan when I had to lock down 212 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: on Braden to win that first game. That is the 213 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: best defense I have ever played in my life. So 214 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: maybe as I get older, I'm becoming less of the 215 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: scorer and hero ball type player and I'm just becoming 216 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: more of a role playing offensive player that can just 217 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: you know, take a shot here every once in a 218 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: while when needed. I don't know, I need to play more. 219 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: I I realize that I got to get in shape, 220 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm getting healthy is uh step one 221 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: to that. But man, that was tough realizing that I 222 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: was gonna lose uh to these kids. So now now 223 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: that the doubt has set in, I one feel like 224 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: I need to go out and I need to play 225 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: one of these kids uh and win, just to get 226 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: my confidence back.

He's a 246 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer, he's a former Heisman Trophy winner. 247 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: You know, him as the juice. O. J. Simpson died, 248 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of folks and when I say it, 249 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: probably man, it seemed like the majority of people were like, 250 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, yes, finally, And I don't know, 251 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: do you celebrate when somebody dies or do you look 252 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: back at the life that they had and just try 253 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: to be like, you know, this is who this person was, 254 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: and you know and think about the family you know 255 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: that's living. This one's tough because, uh, he was accused 256 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: of some Breta Haynes's things and even wrote the book 257 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: about it, So it's tough to memorialize the fella. He 258 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: does have family and people who cared for him. He 259 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: did have friends that were willing to drive a Bronco 260 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: for him, So it's like there, this one's really tough. 261 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: I've always been incredibly fascinated by OJ just because of 262 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: his story, you know, the so charismatic, the Heisman Trophy 263 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: winning running back that would go on to the NFL 264 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: and become a Hall of Famer and do things on 265 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: the field that no one still hasn't done today and 266 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: like just the most impressive like physical specimen and then 267 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: to take that and turn it into a media career 268 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: and become a movie star and just parley into becoming, 269 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, a popular face in America. Right then you 270 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: kill your ex wife and her you know, waiter or 271 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: boyfriend or whoever he was, and that changes everything. Then 272 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: the trial itself, everything surrounding that and whether or not 273 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: he was guilty or not, and then the jury finding 274 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: him not guilty. The racial tension you know that was 275 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: going on, that had It's hard to say it had 276 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the trial, but man, it really 277 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: had a lot of factors within the trial itself. And 278 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: then he still ended up in prison. He just couldn't 279 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: go and live on the golf course and just do 280 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: his thing. He had to go and hold somebody up, 281 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: rememorabilia up, finding his way into prison for what thought 282 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: people thought would be a lifetime dude, got out, became 283 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: very popular on Twitter. He was an avid fantasy football 284 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: player and golfer. Oh J. Simpson, So I feel it 285 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: was appropriate, you know, I've I've man even back in 286 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: high school when he was going through the trial. I 287 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: was just I was all in on it. I read 288 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: many many books about the trial, about the case. It 289 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: was just so fascinating to me. That somebody who you 290 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: thought had it all deep down pretty bad dude. And 291 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, whether he did it or not. I mean, 292 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: the jury found him not guilty. It's just one of 293 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: those things where it's like, all right, he found not guilty. 294 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: But why I think you can make the case that 295 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: just maybe the prosecution screwed that one up. But here 296 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: we are, so here it laugh with me. We are 297 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: going to take one moment of silence for the lost 298 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: of Pro Football Hall of Famer O J. Simpson, Johnny 299 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: no I said, moment of silence. You're not to play drops. 300 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: That's not how that works. Like we're we're doing like 301 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: a memorial thing, you know, like you've you've done moments 302 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: of silences before. Okay, so one more time, we're gonna 303 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: do the moment of silence for Pro Football Hall of Famer, 304 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: media movie Superstar. Commercially, he was in a lot of 305 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: commercials too, like popular commercials, like people loved him. O. J. Simpson, 306 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: that's Johnny Okay. So so maybe the moment we have 307 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: a difference of opinion here, we will not be doing 308 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: a moment of silence for OJ.
