Speaker 4: So hats off to you for that one. My first

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: question is Cam, let's just get out there. You're a

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: Heisman winner. You went to the other school. I almost

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 4: bowed you.

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, which one you were talking about?

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: But what was your first impression when you met Peanut?

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 4: And you're also your first I know the first impression

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: when you met me, uh, probably on the field then

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 4: versus like when you actually got us in the same

49
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 4: locker room.

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: All right. So I don't know if he even knows this,

51
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: but uh, peanut punch was like and is always a thing,

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: you know, the guy who had this bionic arm.

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, big old, big old break.

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like why for so many questions and it

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: was one practic this and for for a cornerback. Peanut

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: was relatively bigger guy than those corners at that time,

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: very strategic at luring. You know, he knew how to

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: impact and kind of sway. Particular practice. It was in

59
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: training camp, and you know we had like penalty like

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: penalties with punishments when like you fumble, Yeah, bro, we

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: was fumbling left and right, left and right, But never me.

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: I prided myself outside the pocket. I didn't really fumble

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: a lot, you know what I'm saying, Like, wow, running, bro,

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I was running in practice, it called like a KIV run.

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, the ball left my

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: arm so explosive, like.

67
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: So it's just going.

68
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: He was out of there so much so that I

69
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: never knew. I didn't know how I left. And I

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: remember watching film bro and it was like he hit

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: the ball so vicious and it was so perfect on

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: like the heart of the ball, and it just left

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and then it boom. I was like yo, And it

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: was one of them things like I tried to play

75
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: it off that like you don't know when the flag

76
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: or when the whistle blows, so boom. I was running.

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: He punched it out.

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: I never looked where the ball went.

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: I just kept running as.

80
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: If to say, you know what I'm saying. It was over, Coach,

81
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: it was over, But I still had to like do

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: like a lap for a fumble. But it was just

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 2: one of those.

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: It was an art for like him and as a

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: as a inside the locker room, I just remember his professionalism.

86
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: I think when I look back at the twenty fifteen

87
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: year and why we didn't sustain and success going into

88
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, was a lot of got Man. We had

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Jared Allen, we had you know Tillman. Obviously you roll

90
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: Courtland Finn again, Yeah, you know, on top of the

91
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Luke Keigley's and the Thomas Davis's. So for me, that

92
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: was the thing where guys knew how to practice, You

93
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: knew the importance of practice and knew the importance of

94
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, cohesion as well.

95
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: I think my first impression I didn't realize how how

96
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: big you were talk like. I was just like, damn,

97
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 3: it was like yeah, it was I was. I was

98
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: like completely blown away. I was like, damn yo he

99
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 3: he he kind of he kind of swole up.

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: In there, man.

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: And I remember like one time you were I think

102
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: you were doing like a quarterback sneak or something like that,

103
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: and I'm a I'm a talker in practice, Like we

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 3: we go out at me u TD, like we talked

105
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: in practice, right, competitive talking, and I remember you you

106
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: ran in and we hit you. We just like, oh man,

107
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm getting that. I'm getting that. In my mind, I'm like, well,

108
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: I'm telling you you're not. But in my mind, I'm like,

109
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: he might he might have got that, he got the

110
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: he got the wait. He probably can put those practices.

111
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: And with me have in my philanthropic kind of initiative

112
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: was C one n and seven oh seven over the

113
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: last fourteen fifteen years. For me, that's important, like being

114
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: able to know your guys in a way where you

115
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: got to know how to get him going. Yeah, I

116
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: really admired that about not only rivera shula, but you

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: know McDermott, like they wanted practice to be tough. They

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: we wanted to mimic game like energy. And you know,

119
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: for that, it was the Josh Norman's, it was the Lukes,

120
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: it was the KK Schwartz, it was the Charles John

121
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Like everybody was really a part of that. And I

122
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: was probably the personal offense that responded all the time.

123
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Shut the day you're not like that. Yeah, And then

124
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: I need to remind like we kind of changed images.

125
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: When I was playing, I was more like, you know, Peanut,

126
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: and now when he was playing, he had the dreads.

127
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, people forget the teut the dread Peanut, but yeah,

128
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: that was this thing. I would say this.

129
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: My first impression was like what Peanuts said. I thought

130
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: it was just the pads and the cleats that always

131
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: stood out. Because I played against you, I was always

132
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 4: I was an opponent way longer than before I was

133
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: a teammate Reers, and so we saw you all the time,

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: and I was so when I became your teammate, the

135
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: first thing I tell anybody, and I told Drew Brees

136
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: this when I went back, I said, I thought it

137
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: was one way to skin a cat, that you had

138
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: to be this one type of quarterback because I'd been

139
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: around Drew my whole lot, my whole career, and then

140
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: I got to Carolina and I was like, damn, like,

141
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: it's more than one way to be successful and be

142
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: a great quarterback. I saw your energy. I thought you

143
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: when you got it going when you weren't, you know,

144
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: because some days Cam be like, you know, not really

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: feeling it. Then something had to happen. Then he had

146
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: to dance.

147
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: And warm up. Then he started getting into it.

148
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 4: But it's like suspicious it ys, we're seeing he's contagious

149
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: a person be that so infectious to a team. And

150
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: it's like when Cam was on, everybody felt it. You

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: elevated so many people's attitude, the energy when you flexing

152
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: and doing all this. It just made so much more sense.

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: And I didn't realize that until I got in the

154
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: locker room. I thought your gifts were amazing. You gave

155
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: the best gifts, you had the best personality, and literally

156
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: when Cam was on, like everybody wanted to be around Cam.

157
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: And I'd never seen that before. And I told Drew,

158
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: I said, dude, if you want to be good after

159
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 4: leaving when I was in Carolina and I knew it.

160
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: We built in those couple of years.

161
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 4: I was like, you got to be able to get

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: down on the level with all the other guys, like

163
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: Cam is on the level with everybody in that locker room.

164
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: He has a nickname for everybody. It's just like this

165
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 4: is who he is, and Rivera and everybody love him

166
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: for it and they encourage him to be himself. And

167
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 4: I thought you worked at it, and Bro, it was

168
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: amazing to see you and your full growth because I

169

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: and I'll never forget it. We were in there and

171
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,520

Speaker 1: For sure. We did show, went out there and did that.

00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: So I want to give you a flowers now because

187
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: that right now, even though you did go to Auburn.

188
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: And it's a whole deal for me. But I'll say, look, man,

189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: that's been the story of my life. It's like people

190
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: have always had this curiosity about Camp, like is it real?

191
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Is it true? Is it genius? Is disingenuous? Is it

192
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: is it? Is that really him? And to that. When

193
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: I was going through the draft process with Marty Hernie

194
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: and Coach Rivera, they asked me a question about how

195
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: can we get you to be the best version of

196
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: yourself something along those lines, and I just remember them.

197
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: I remember me telling them just let me be me. Yeah, like,

198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: just let me be me if I feel challenged, if

199
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you're trying to take me away from

200
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: my gift, Like my gift has always been the socialism

201
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: of sports. I bring people together. And when you take

202
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: that away, when you try to suppress it, when you

203
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: nuke it, when you try to change it, that's when

204
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: I feel attacked. You know what I'm saying. My ship

205
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: is under siege. You know what I'm saying, like that,

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: that type of energy. And for Rivera, it was one

207
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: of those things where it's like okay, all right, get

208
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, one of those one of

209
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: those deals in for me. I remember Roman, for you

210
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: was like it was obvious. I'm like, this dude got waves,

211
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: but he liked Benjamin Buttons.

212
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: From then I came up with.

213
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: A touch of gray. But the thing about you, your

214
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: energy was always like receptive and you know how some

215
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: guys was like sensitive and it's not. And then for

216
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: the longest I remember in Carolina, like we had characters

217
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: in the scenes and.

218
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: We had like a cat lady did y'all around cat lady. Yeah,

219
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't think I member cat lady.

220
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: Cat lady. She would come to practice and it kind

221
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: of oh no, yes, I was in practice, and she

222
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: would always do her face in that way. Then they

223
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: had like panther Man, and then they had the old

224
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: guy who was like really a young guy, but he

225
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: dressed up as an old guy. And then it took

226
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: on the whole thing. I was like, who the hell

227
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: is this batman?

228
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: And then all of a saying Roma gave me the

229
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: locker room.

230
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, that's my brother and I

231
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: was like, like.

232
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: Your real brother.

233
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: He was like oh yeah, yeah, like that's my brother

234
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, I never knew that. But

235
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: that energy that year has always been something that I

236
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: had to mimic in business, you know what I'm saying.

237
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: One thing that people didn't necessarily. I spoke on it,

238
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, very briefly, and one of you know, the

239
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: social platforms, either TikTok or Instagram. About in twenty fifteen,

240
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: the dovish thing I think we've did collectively as a

241
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: team outside of on the field success was we had

242
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: them hoverboards. That was the biker can. Oh my god.

243
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: Everybody trained camp No this particular time.

244
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: It was about fifteen hover boards and everybody was.

245
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: Like it was it was like a mosh roof riders.

00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: cars on no legs.

250
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: What was it called like when it's like a nassigned

251
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: time when like everybody dances, Yeah at the.

252
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: Flash flash flash it was.

253
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: It was it was that thing where like we're going

254
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: into like for people not to know Charlotte, it's the

255
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: banking capital of the South, right, So you got well Fargo,

256
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: you got changed, you got truest at that time, I

257
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: was there long enough to see the Wachovia buildings like

258
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: all that BB and T and were just going just

259
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: zooming and zooming and guys doing tricks and spinneramas. And

260
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: then the last thing you wanted to hear was that

261
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: means your battery level. I mean, you got up, but

262
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: everybody else having so much, so much fun, and guys

263
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: really enjoyed each other. We wasn't the most talented team,

264
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: but we were the best team. Yeah. And that's the

265
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: thing where it's like, I know, when I look on

266
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: your career, Peanut, like that Bears team was a very

267
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: talented defense, you know what I'm saying. Obviously for you Roman,

268
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: like you've had some teams in New Orleans that was like, yo,

269
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: you guys are super talented. But for us in that

270
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: fifteen year, it was like we wasn't talent, like guys

271
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: could play, but it was like guys was playing beyond

272
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: their expectation. Yeah, for sure. And it came and it

273
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: stemmed from leadership, and it's stem from guys just giving

274
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: a damn about each other, you know what I'm saying.

275
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, So staying on that twenty fifteen season, were

276
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: there any were there any fond memories that you took

277
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: away from a Super Bowl fifty?

278
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucked because that year we was chasing immortalness. Yeah,

279
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: that's what like after and oh it was one of

280
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: those situations like, yo, bro, we eleven.

281
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: We can do this thing.

282
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Yo, bro, like we're thirteen, and oh no, bro, like

283
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: we're fourteen. And then after that, I don't know if

284
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: you guys remember twenty fifteen. The only game that we

285
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: lost obviously it was Atlanta, but we didn't practice that

286
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: whole week. We was in the convention Center, Yo, terrible weather.

287
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: And then the day we practiced, that's when I got

288
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: to call that my son was being born. So it

289
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: was like I had a period and I had to leave.

290
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: So when I think about it, I was like, Yo,

291
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: if we win this game with zero practice, it was

292
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: no reps. It was no this. It was no that

293
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: I was saying to myself, like, we have to practice,

294
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: and that was the importus of practice. And when we

295
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: lost it was like, man, we didn't practice, we did,

296
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: our timing was off. It was just a little rushed.

297
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: But you know, when I think back, so many things

298
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: to just kind of like hpoint, but you know that

299
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: the ability to say, not a lot of teams has

300
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: ever gotten into sixteen wins like ever. And I remember

301
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: talking to the offense the night before the game and

302
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: it was like and at that time, the award ceremony

303
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: had already came out, so I was the MVP, and

304
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: I remember talking like, yo, Bro, like the biggest joy

305
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: for this year is to be able to, you know,

306
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: to say one day, we have the greatest NFL team

307
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: ever and this was competing with the perfect season because

308
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: they didn't play that many games, like we had the

309
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: most wins. I remember the Patriots undefeated season. But more importantly,

310
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: it was one of those things that like that and

311
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: that is almost like an.

312
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: Unbreak every ever, you.

313
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: Know, and that's what I was like most excited about.

314
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: And people see the post interview, all these things is

315
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: just coming to me at that time, like Bro, we

316
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: blew it, Bro I blew it. I never felt that

317
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: type of responsibility. You know, I had a very sentimental moment.

318
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: You're with mister Richardson, and our relationship was extremely private

319
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: but so meaningful for you know, my growth and who

320
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: I was in Charlotte. Another person who just allowed me

321
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: to be me and I could be honest with him,

322
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: and that was kind of different, especially for me, like

323
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: I never had a relationship with an older white person

324
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: like I had with mister Richardson, respectfully, and he allowed,

325
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: like we would have conversations about real things, like not

326
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: outside of football. And I remember seeing them before the

327
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: game and I'll leave the only reason why I got

328
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: drafted to Carolina. I wrote him a handwritten letter and

329
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: in that letter it was like, if you give me

330
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: the opportunity, I can give you everything that you want

331
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: this franchise to be. And when he came into the

332
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: locker room, that's all we talked about. It was like

333
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: I told you, like I told I told you, mister Richardson,

334
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: like we gonna I told you I was gonna get

335
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: get us here and I'm about to win. And he cried,

336
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: oh wow.

337
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: It was deep, bro, Bro, it was deep.

338
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: So when people think about the sulking after the game,

339
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: it's just deeper than just yeah that. It was like, Bro,

340
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: I felt like I let people down that I gave

341
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: my oath, I gave my vow. It was like I

342
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: built this ship and as the captain, I gotta go

343
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: down with it. I can't jump ship. It was just

344
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: I put so much on me to to deliver that.

345
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: When I didn't deliver the goods, it was like, I'm

346
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: a failure. And now I'll look back more mature and

347
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: outside of that space. It's like I put too much

348
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: on myself. I mean, it was so many different determined

349
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: factors of that game, but it was real lifelong bonds

350
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: that was being made that year. And that's what I

351
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: just take away from it.

352
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: That season was crazy. What I always take away is like, man,

353
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: I can't believe like this guy Cam and him and

354
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 4: Joe Webb their little jokes all the time. Literally they

355
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 4: had the whole We had the whole world dabbing bro

356
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: like it was a people dabbing.

357
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: The people that it was a whole And this is

358
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: comes from Charlotte, North Carolina, Charlotte.

359
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: It was the pulse of the sports.

360
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: We was that whole season. It was crazy the whole season,

361
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: taking like we.

362
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 4: Were the first ones that were like taking team pictures,

363
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 4: Like man, these things were all happening, and I give

364
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 4: you a lot of credit because so much season you

365
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 4: were Cam was like, hey, in fact, it was just like.

366
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: People people just think that Cam loves to start them.

367
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm really a social introvert, Like I don't like people

368
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: see how I dress. I just stressed like this, you know,

369
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: but it's not I never do anything. I'm not the

370
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: guy that's standing on the couches in the club and

371
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: doing this and doing that. You won't catch me in

372
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: the club. That's not who I am. And I just

373
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: remember I was getting so much attention that year, and

374
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to like, hey, let's take a picture.

375
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

376
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: It was just like when I was doing it was

377
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: like using and I was like, oh man, we got something.

378
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: And then the following year. The NFL has always been

379
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: labeled the no fun league. Correct and for us to

380
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: be able to bring joy again smiles again and yeah,

381
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: people talk about the celebratory acts, but I'm like, don't

382
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: talk about that. Talk about how many footballs I gave

383
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: and everybody it got to a point nobody did. It

384
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: was like, bro, we got guys. I remember Devin Functions

385
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: scored his first touchdown and then he was he was

386
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: so caught in the moment he gave it away and

387
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: he was like, I gave away my first, first football,

388
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: And he was trying to get all the ball boys.

389
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, I don't know what you gotta do.

390
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Go get my football. Yeah, but that that thing, like

391
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: is where I sit as a man today, is like,

392
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: don't talk about what you assume me to be.

393
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: Talk about what I really did and who I really am.

394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a short break and we'll be right back.

395
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: Now.

396
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: I got a question. Now, this is a sore subject

397
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 4: for me. Peanut likes to talk about this more than me.

398
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: This is Super Bowl fifty. So when I show you

399
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 4: this play, I want to show you a picture I

400
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 4: produce your time is gonna bring you in When you

401
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 4: see that still picture, what is the thought that goes

402
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 4: to your mind taking me through that play? Because Function

403
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 4: is about to break open? Oh creait, it's fourth quarter.

404
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 3: It's about four to sixteen left thirty nine score sixteen

405
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: to ten, fourth quarter and Devin Functions is about.

406
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: To be wide open. And then you got.

407
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: Who's the d n It looks like he's getting ready

408
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: to almost sack you.

409
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, that was the fumble play. It was read

410
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: seven seventy seven high double seven roundes. It was double seven.

411
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: So I don't know if the game, but Greg had

412
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: an alert where it actually came from you, bro. So

413
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: in training camp we had this read. It was like

414
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: an angle eight. It was always like an angle eight,

415
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: like attack us outside his shoulder and stay flat. In

416
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: training camp, Greg comes back and he was like, yo, Bro,

417
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: he knows I'm going back inside, so if he stays inside,

418
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna break it outside. So as the year happened,

419
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: it was like we turned that route into like a

420
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: read a red route so he could go in or

421
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: go out. And I knew Greg's body language as he

422
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: was running the route, and that's why it was so

423
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: successful because he didn't even know what he was doing,

424
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: but I knew off the leverage where he was going

425
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: to go, so I could always anticipate it. But defenders

426
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: would bracket him to stop that. That's the only way

427
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: you could stop it because one person couldn't do it.

428
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: So he's getting bracketed right now and he's taking it house.

429
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: So now I'm going to the opposite side and it's almost.

430
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: Like a quarters. Look where the quarters beater is.

431
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: Two to a side. Yeah, like two out routes or

432
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: a short out and a higher out will always be

433
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: it because he thinks he has help when he doesn't.

434
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: And I was about to launch it to you know,

435
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: functions because the safety doesn't have that leverage at that

436
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: particular point in time. But it was so many different

437
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: things here in this game that I never really watched

438
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: the game ever me either, like never watched the game.

439
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: I see the clips, and there was other things that

440
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself like yeah, definitely game changer, game

441
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: changer moment, and I just it's just hard, man, because

442
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: at that point in time, who is it that year?

443
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: There was always a sense of.

444
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna win the game. We just knew it.

445
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: You know.

446
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: Seattle is like.

447
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 4: It was after Seattle we started to believe it was

448
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 4: after the early the first game we went to Seattle

449
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 4: and had that late yeah.

450
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: Row it game with Greg and that after that it

451
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: was just like we're going to leave, You're going to win.

452
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: It's just like it's only a matter of time that

453
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: we're going to find a way to win.

454
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: You think if you get that pass off.

455
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: We win the game. The momentum for sure, and I

456
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: don't like to take about you know, I purpose or

457
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, if was if we all would be funny,

458
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: you know. But it's it's so many other different plays too.

459
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: I remember another play Vivid with. It was two Jericho

460
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: contree plays right and Jericho was the o G on

461
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: the officer side. He had a controversial fumble or it

462
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: was an incomplete pass passed he caught. It was like

463
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: first quarter.

464
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: It was very early, and again it was that thing

465
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 4: where it's just not going good for us right now

466
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 4: the plays that we have made all year long had happened. Look,

467
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 4: I'm complete opposite on this.

468
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm real emotion.

469
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 4: I think the coaches blew this game for us. They

470
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: tried to do too much. They never adjusted. Offensively, we

471
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: allowed to We allowed two people that don't touch the

472
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 4: ball to beat us that day, and you can't allow that. Yeah,

473
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 4: we got to be better about that part of it. Offensively,

474
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: played our words. We put the ball on the ground

475
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 4: three or four times. Defensively, we tried to overthink and

476
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 4: we were doing some dumb stuff.

477
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't even playing like I've been doing all year long.

478
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm all the way mad.

479
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 4: I think we totally earned that loss, and if we

480
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 4: played Denver we beat him eight out of ten times.

481
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: No, for sure, there were things. There are things in

482
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: that game that we had our moments. Yeah, like we

483
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: had our moments. I remember Philly at a big catch

484
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: for us and he got concussed. Yep. So I believe

485
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: that clip to it. That was Britain person.

486
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: We all the way down, you know what I'm.

487
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Saying, Like Burst is a guy that was mister reliable

488
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: but never got the When I see Pooka Nakua, Britain,

489
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: Berson could have definitely been Puka because he was just

490
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: a He caught everything, he knew, he knew where he

491
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: was supposed to be. He was a guy may Britain.

492
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: Bursa could have played guard and he would have knew

493
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: what to do. You know what I'm saying. But that

494
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: whole time gets back to the thing that football as

495
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: a whole is broken down to a lot of determined

496
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: factors that everybody got to uphold their end of the

497
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: bargain and when it was happening. Obviously, Von Miller is

498
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: a person where he took over, we didn't have a

499
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: no adjustment for it. Yeah, and those guys just got

500
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: after it and for opportunities to be missed. It wasn't

501
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: a winning formula that we was accustomed to that year.

502
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: I get sure.

503
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: So after after football you transitioned into something different. Obviously,

504
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: Rom and I were in the media space. We're talking

505
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: doing our podcast. You're kind of doing the same or

506
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: not kind of you are doing the same thing right now?

507
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: What made you want to step into this or a

508
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: venture into the media side.

509
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: It's funny because I always told my agent, my marketing

510
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: agent that even during the lockout two thousand, I was like, bro,

511
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: I do not want to be a sports analyst, whatever

512
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: you got to do, I do not want to be

513
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: a sports analyst. I cannot see myself behind like a

514
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: desk covering sports. I had given my life to football.

515
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: And one of my producers, who's been my longest tenured

516
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: I would get. I would say, guy who has been

517
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: with me the longest, David Rix. I call him Waldo.

518
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 1: Like Waldo was telling me when it first came on

519
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. He's like, bro, you need to start

520
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: becoming comfortable with monetizing your life in a way that

521
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: ESPN could not because ESPN needs access and everything on

522
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: the field. The nfl owns, but that doesn't discredit you

523
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 1: as being a personality outside of the field, and you

524
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: need to find ways to monopolize on that. The locker

525
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: room interactions, those you know, segue journeys, you know what

526
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like making or having the natural fan feel

527
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: a part of something, like, you know, like we had

528
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: real personality in that locker room, you know what I'm saying,

529
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: And showing that that's where content becomes king. So for me,

530
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: I never really looked at myself as a sports personality.

531
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: I looked at myself as a culture personality, you know

532
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And guys at this phase, I don't

533
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't compare to the Odell's. I don't compare to

534
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady's. I don't compare to you know, the

535
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or the Patrick Mahomes. I'm now looking at

536
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: the Dwayne Johnson's, the mister Beasts, the Constanets, like these

537
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: guys who are who are really streamers or YouTubers or

538
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: content creators, the Drew Skies, And I'm saying to myself, like,

539
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: how can I learn from them in a manner Because

540
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't pigeonhole me no more. Like you

541
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: can't put me in a section no more. And the

542
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: only way you put me in that section if I

543
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: allow you to put me in that section. Yeah. So

544
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: my content has always been like, Yo, Funky Friday is

545
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: an IP that is funded and owned by me and

546
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: my company. I never wanted to have an athlete on

547
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: it because I didn't want it to confuse the consumer.

548
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to show the reach of Lebron has given

549
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: us the opportunities that we're more than just an athlete.

550
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: And now being on this alignment with people to talk.

551
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: I know I've been burnt before, but I also have

552
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: been in interviews where I was like, Okay, you want

553
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: to talk about the Super Bowl, okay. Oh you want

554
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: to talk about my fashion, Okay, you want to talk

555
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: about my relating Okay, you want to talk about the

556
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Those are all surface level things, and I'm like, y'all

557
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: ain't answered asking the questions that I really want to

558
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: talk about, right, Like, let's get funky, Like let's let's

559
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: like stop being a very safe interview and let's get

560
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: down to the bottom of it. Because it's not what

561
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: you say or what you ask is how you ask it.

562
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and there's nothing that's off limits.

563
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: It's like, yo, Cam, why you got so many kids?

564
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: Like that'll be a little triggering, but it's like, yo, bro,

565
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: I see how you are with your kids.

566
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: Like what I personally like from the should though, is

567
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: like you speak your mind, but you don't diss anybody.

568
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: You're giving a true, honest assessment of what you think

569
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: of this person, this topic, whatever, but you say it

570
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: with love and compassion and respect all at the same time,

571
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: like you really don't put You're not putting anyone down.

572
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: But I think the people sometimes they receive it the

573
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: wrong way. And I love how when you say it,

574
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: you explain and.

575
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: You back it up with facts for sure, now before

576
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 4: you have a comment. After after that, I think what

577
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 4: the people the average human being that doesn't know Cam

578
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 4: Newton and I've got to know you after sharing the

579
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: locker room and since then just you know, being normal

580
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: friends and stuff. But is that I love it because

581
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: it's your opinion, and because when you come from a

582
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 4: place of love, like you don't try and put people down,

583
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: just try and uplift yourself, which is what a lot

584
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 4: of people do. For sure, they tear down because it

585
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: builds themselves up. You don't need that, No, and so

586
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: you just have your facts, You state your opinion and

587
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: if that's it, it's like, dude, I'm not trying to

588
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 4: hurt anybody. I don't just my opinion, Yes, just my opinion.

589
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 4: And why should my opinion get you rapped up? It's

590
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: just my opinion.

591
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: No, it's something where we're all are. I'm big on intentions.

592
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four is my most intentional year where I've

593
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: coined the idea or the vision for me and my content.

594
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: We got to live in our truth, living your truth,

595
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, hot cold, controversial, like, live

596
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: in your truth. Stop like this in this day and

597
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: age of twenty twenty four. No longer are you going

598
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: to be able to straddle the fence and be politically correct,

599
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: because that's not who I am. That's not the content

600
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: how I digest it. It's like, yo, bro, that's how

601
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: you feel. Explain how you feel, and at the bare minimum,

602
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: at the worst, we can.

603
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: At least agree to disagree.

604
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because I had, you know, us being here in

605
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, I've had access to a lot of personalities

606
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: to come up my platform with my sports show, fourth

607
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: and one and talk about the game change, reverse game Manager.

608
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 4: It's been a whole deal. You started this this year.

609
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 4: I just want you to know that you started that.

610
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: I know in ESPN still trying to get love off

611
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 4: of it.

612
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: I know, so strategic. Think about this. I don't know

613
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: when this is going to air, but this is this

614
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: is how people and I want to I'm smarter than

615
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: people think.

616
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, playing chess, no like real talk. Think about this.

617
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: My honesty has created this controversial some would think controversial

618
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: kind of, but it's the truth. And think about it.

619
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: When I study people like mister Bees, he has this

620
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: saying that he says going viral is a skill. It

621
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. So I'll tell you this. I've coined

622
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: the honesty to be what it's worth. If brock Parity succeeds,

623
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: I go viral. If brock Parity does not, I still

624
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: go viral. Check me, you're not lying.

625
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 4: I saw you just another clip the other day on

626
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: your fourth and one, Warren Sae, I've got a little

627
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 4: triggered off this.

628
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: Whole Come on, I don't know how it touches.

629
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 4: People's emotions so much, And it's really a true statement

630
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 4: it's so true.

631
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: It's just a true statement. I'm telling you, bro, Like

632
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: we have to stop getting emotional about the truth. The

633
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: great books, the truth sets you free, and a lot

634
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but a lot of the things that I

635
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: say is back by merit. It's not back by emotions.

636
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: It's back by merit. It's like, Okay, when I talk

637
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: to the team and I say, okay, Christian, okay, Brendan okay, Waldo, okay,

638
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: oh maor okay, you know, like what we're talking about,

639
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: how we getting to the point if we're not getting

640
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: to the point in the very like I already go

641
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: through the analytical things of like it's almost like breaking

642
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: a hell the ready break, Okay, where's my safety? Is

643
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: it a shade or is it a three tech? You know?

644
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: Is the where's the nickel alignment? Where's Peanut in his alignment? Initially?

645
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: Because you know he gonna start up, then go back

646
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: and then try to come back again. You know, It's

647
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: just a lot of things that in media, it's no different.

648
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: I've pot the things that football has taught me now

649
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: in the real world to be so strategic and knowing,

650
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: Like when I dropped this content, what could happen, the good,

651
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: the bad, and everything else. And when it's back by

652
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: mayrit to the degree to say, like, this is why

653
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: I feel the way I feel. It's not just coming

654
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: out of my ass here, like this is just something

655
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: that I really genuinely feel and boom, so it's no denying.

656
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: It becomes undeniable to oh, you know what he's talking about.

657
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: Okay, So I got to ask about your your one company,

658
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: the Iconic Saga Productions, So tell me initially how you

659
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 4: came up with that and why didn't the way.

660
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: You text or like I got to know that too.

661
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 3: It's my brain hurt when I read on, Like before

662
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 3: you got on, I was like, I don't know if

663
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: you'll know when we can text you or when he

664
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: when he posts something, it's like, yeah, it takes me so.

665
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 2: Long to read us out. I tried. I hear someone

666
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: from your team, should you get that?

667
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: Like he's laughing.

668
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: I hear her.

669
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: Laughing in the back right now, Like I don't. I'm

670
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: I feel dumb. Sometimes I'm like, okay, hold on this

671
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: special number character. I feel like your texts or your

672
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: messages are like passwords.

673
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: Eyes with the two dots on top of.

674
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: How long do it take you to do this?

675
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: It's branding ladies and gentlemen.

676
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: I get it. I just it's hard to read. I'll

677
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: be trying to I'll be like I read so slow.

678
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: I wish I could have if this camera is on me?

679
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: This is where is this hard to read? No? How

680
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: because it's the NFL. No, I just because so many

681
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: people have seen this symbol this year, they say, why

682
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: is this? Why is the super Bowl looking like? How?

683
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton texts, Okay, it's branding ladies and gentlemen. Usually

684
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: branding comes by way of either a slogan, colors or something. Yeah,

685
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: I said, let's negate that and let's take it a

686
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: step further. Let's do symbols. Ah check made again? Like

687
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: people just take me for this person that is like, Yo,

688
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm so intentional. Where now when people see this, I've

689
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: been tagged. I've been you know, looped in so many

690
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: things like why is the NFL? Is Cam Newton the

691
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: creative director of the NFL? That needs to happen? You know?

692
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: Those things are real life things that I'm saying to

693
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: myself is like, yo, how can I be a little

694
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: unique in a way where it forces people's minds to

695
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: wonder and to think, not only in that way but

696
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: also in a way where it's always having a person out,

697
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: why are you doing too much? Then I say, you

698
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: ain't doing enough. You know what I'm saying. It's like,

699
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: but it's an app though I post my way downloaded

700
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: on Apple device, any Apple device, and it's a it's

701
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: a keyboard that I didn't even know this. Okay, this

702
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: is why I asked, because I did not know that. Okay,

703
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: So I'm.

704
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 2: Still your conscious.

705
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing it.

706
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm trying to. I'm like, I want to be like you.

707
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't even know how he gets

708
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: all these symbols.

709
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

710
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 2: I've been reading this stuff for like four.

711
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: Years, like due to reply one time and I was

712
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: like even switching between the characters and it took me

713
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 3: like an hour.

714
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't do it.

715
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: I can't. But it's so easy. But it's like A

716
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: has about like six different ways to write it.

717
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: Don't give away all the secret songs, and I'm gonna

718
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: make them go give.

719
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: No gatekeeping, bro like look e I oh, all the

720
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: vowels have about three plus different variations to it.

721
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 4: That's zactly makes all this makes so much more sense

722
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 4: because I'll see you know you say iconic, but you

723
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 4: have two eyes, but they're totally different, correct, And I'm

724
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: just like, I mean, is that GERMANI what is that?

725
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: What is it? I'll tell you this though, Like we

726
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: have what eight people in this room right now? Right?

727
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: If I give everybody a sheet of paper and I

728
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: say write your name down or write I love myself,

729
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: that's simple Stanza. We all won't write it the same.

730
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: So why should we type the same? Feel me?

731
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: But our brains has been have been.

732
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: Traced back to like, why are you being so difficult?

733
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: It's not difficult. Give everybody a sheet of paper, the

734
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: same pen, same sheet of paper, and have them write

735
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: down I love myself. Some people are going to write

736
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: in Romans ten, font twelve. Some people are going to

737
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: write in you know, all type of different cursive or whatever.

738
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, bro, we're not gonna the same. Why

739
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: should we type the same? And our brains are trick

740
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: to think that we cannot be creative.

741
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: So there was another larger than live personality, one of

742
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 3: my old teammates, Brandon Marshall.

743
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: He was on the pot.

744
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 3: I think he was on the pot last year sometimes

745
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 3: what made you want to partner with him with the

746
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 3: I Am Iconic Live tour? Where did that partnership come from?

747
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: Why not? You know what I'm saying. And I think

748
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: this was a time and I've been very vocal about

749
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: alignment for him and did I need to do it? No?

750
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Did I want to do it? Yes? Brandon Marshall is

751
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: also a person who have given me so much intel

752
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: about the space of media, so smart, and there was

753
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity that came up for him. He was trying

754
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 1: to have his conversation be told on his platform right,

755
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: and I was telling him. I was like, Bro, in

756
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: order for you to be heard through a lens of

757
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 1: it not being unfiltered, people are going to call cap

758
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: or they gonna feel like yo, Like that ain't it.

759
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: You gotta come on mind right on my platform, funk

760
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: your Friday and speak your truth. So we all heard about,

761
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, the situation with other the other breakup, and

762
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: I was and still am disappointed, like how do you

763
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: let something so sexy walk out that door? It was

764
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: so good? Was killing I'm still an opponent of Like, Bro,

765
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: you guys are missing the mark, Like where would we

766
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: be if nobody cared who got the credit. Where would

767
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: we be if EGO did not even exist and everybody involved,

768
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Clark, Channing, Crowd of Taylor, Brandon Marshall, Pac man

769
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: O Cho, like those guys shady, bro talented, they were

770
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: going to that next phase. And you know, in football,

771
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: it's harder for us because we're masked athletes. And if

772
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: you wear Advisor, you're even more masked. It's like you

773
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: might as well put on a damn motorcycle helmet, you know,

774
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: because nobody knows who you are, if you're if you're

775
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: the lucky few that when you walk in somewhere and

776
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: somebody said, oh that's so and so, you know, not

777
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: being able to identify you as a football player, about

778
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: the size of your neck, you know what I'm saying, Like, oh,

779
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: you got to be a football player, right Yeah. So

780
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: for me when I was talking to him, like, Bro,

781
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know, like, Bro, you

782
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: missing out on the opportunity. And I don't know if

783
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: it's salvageable at this particular point, but I'm still going

784
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: to rest my guys, like I'm waiting for the day

785
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: that everybody is able to come to the table and

786
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: just to you know, you know what, Bro, it's not

787
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: bigger than a relationship.

788
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: And we can still work together, bro, Yeah for sure.

789
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: And you know with the im iconic Livetya was something

790
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: also for purposes to prove that we're more than just

791
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: the stereotypical. Hey, let's talk about sports today. Hey what

792
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: do we got? You know, what did Patrick Mahomes do?

793
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: Brock parody? Like, what do these guys like? It was

794
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: more or less about that, but more about cultural topics,

795
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, really mental branding was very adamant about you know,

796
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: we have to do mental check ins. He's been a

797
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: ambassador for mental health for so long and going through

798
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: something you know, suffering in silence should not be your

799
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: your callings. You know. It takes an ecosystem and integrating music,

800
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: integrating real conversations, question other days and fan engagement or

801
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: crowd engagement as well. And people don't think or they

802
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: will never see that with the helmet on, and now

803
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm able to be as creative as I can be

804
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: because I don't have, you know, to just be a

805
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: football player now like I can be free, like I

806
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: could be, you know, able to be as wild as

807
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: I want to be or to be in this realm

808
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 1: of conservative whereas like, Okay, well today I just want

Speaker 1: to focus on my restaurants, or today I want to also, Yeah,

811
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: I got to tap in with Christian in iconic saga waldough,

812
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: I kind of you know, these different things that is

813
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: happening in time where I'm more busier now by being

814
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: away from the game than actually being you know, in

815
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, which I never thought would happen. Yeah, that's crazy.

816
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: Let's dope.

817
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 3: We'll be back in a minute. I'm switching topics right now.

818
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to ask this question. You got a

819
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 3: Heisman trophy and you have an MVP trophy? Yeah, which

820
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 3: one do you hold in more higher steam? Which one

821
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 3: is like means more to you? Which one is just like,

822
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 3: you know what, this one's pretty cool, But this one, right,

823
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 3: here's a little bit better.

824
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: I'll give you some juice, give us the Jews. The

825
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: prestige of the Heisman is obviously more. Yeah, but I

826
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: haven't been to a Heisman event since I left. Okay,

827
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be this is this is gonna

828
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: be my follow up. Go ahead, and it was because

829
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: they told my dad I could he couldn't coach at

830
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: the ceremony. M the biggest moment of my life, the

831
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: most influential person of my life. Yeah, I can't share

832
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 1: the biggest time of my life.

833
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 2: And they didn't give you a reason for it.

834
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: They just say, I mean going back to that time.

835
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: You have to be reminded the n C Double A

836
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: was doing a thorough investigation. Mister Newton is it's best

837
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: if you don't. And my dad is similar to me,

838
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, any extracurricular distractions, I don't want to the son.

839
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: I would be in a hotel room and I just remember,

840
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: like after winning the Heisman, and I just kept looking

841
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: at my mom and she knew. She was like, yeah, baby,

842
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: let's let's go to the room. You know, Let's go

843
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: to the room. You know, because I'm that person. Like

844
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: my dad is such a strong figure in my life

845
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: that he went through the MUCKs of just a lot,

846
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: so he sacrificed a lot so I could play. And

847
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: if you remember that n C Double A thing, somebody

848
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: had to take a fall. My dad is just I

849
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: jump on the grenade blow. He then couldn't come to

850
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: no games. He was the bad guy Cam Newton selling

851
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: his soul his son to get money. And I'm like, ra,

852
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: he didn't do that. They just had to paint that

853
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: just to have a cop out. And I'm like, man,

854
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 1: my dad ain't no different than LaVar ball a Lamar Ball,

855
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: No different than Archie Manning, no different than King Richard,

856
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: no different than Shucks, you know, John Moran's father. No

857
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: different than any hands on father, Dion Sanders. And it's like,

858
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: I just didn't. I still have a hard time looking

859
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: at that award as something that I just take pride in. Yeah,

860
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: And it's just like it's just an award. I never

861
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: praised the wards because it's subjective. It's human beings coming

862
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: up with an idea that It's like, we think he's

863
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: the best football player. That don't mean I was the best,

864
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: but I would say to the MVP. A lot of

865
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: people nowadays, you know, even walking in the hotel lobby

866
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: now you're hearing party Party heard. I'm like, bro, my

867
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: biggest flex is this. A lot of you guys's favorite

868
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: NFL players just became good in the NFL. Like I've

869
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: been good, bro, Like I've been good for it. I've

870
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 1: been doing this for a long time, like I've really

871
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: been doing Bro high school, five star Yo Doubt, went

872
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: to Florida, left Florida, went to JUCO National Championship, number

873
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 1: one player there, came to Auburn. You know what I'm saying,

874
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't even in People don't even know it, Like

875
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: I was in Auburn for less than three hundred and

876
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: sixty five days. So for people thinking about like you

877
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: need this whole body of workers, like yo, I was

878
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: so intentional about like Bro, I'm here. I'm choosing Auburn

879
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: because they had twenty two seen years and I knew

880
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: the importance of leadership. And I said to myself, if

881
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: I can get a guy not at sixteen seventeen, but

882
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: a guy like at twenty one, twenty two to understand,

883
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: like Yo, you're trying to get to the league too,

884
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: all right, let's work. And I knew it would be

885
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: easier to convince a body of people to commit to

886
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: something rather than a team that only had four seniors

887
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 1: attorney six ers, you know what I'm saying. So that

888
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: and then coming to the NFL and then following up

889
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: with that too. Now having a football career that's up

890
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: in question, probably.

891
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 2: Never to be had.

892
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: Again an opportunity to play. That's where I could just

893
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: sit back and say, like, Bro, I gave this game.

894
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: All of me have zero regrets, and now I could

895
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: take that energy and now put it into my children,

896
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: or put it into my content, or put it into

897
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: my businesses.

898
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 4: And so I was going to ask you about the

899
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 4: Heisman commercials, but you clearly just told us the answer.

900
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that, but I tell you, I'll tell

901
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: you this though. The funny thing about it, I was

902
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: on air with r G three and I've always been

903
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: talking about this, and every time I talk about it

904
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: and Omar is not here, he runs my uh digital

905
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: side of of iconic saga. He's like, Bro, you gotta

906
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: stop giving that away. Like Bro, you know I can't

907
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 1: hold water. Like Bro, I wanted to create a ratchet

908
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: Heisman House of the Misfits because they have like the

909
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: they got the Hosma House and it's just like the Boogie.

910
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: It's just like the lawn is manicured, the one everybody

911
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: loves college life that you know, you got the cues,

912
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 1: you got you know what I'm saying, Like you got

913
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: Zeta via Beta, like we got all these different clubs.

914
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like, bro, if we recreated a ratchet Heisma

915
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: house where now you add Reggie Bush, Yeah, because they

916
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: still come on Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton, O J. Simpson,

917
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: Ricky Williams, Like at the dudes, Bro, Like that's gonna

00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: put some put some real entertain.

00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to one of those house parties.

920
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 2: We let's do that.

921
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: But I wanted to create that in a way where

922
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: you want to do numbers, because now I've done studies.

923
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: I'm a real nerd when it comes to like, yo,

924
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:49,840

928
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: to what people may believe, people don't pay to see modesty.

929
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: You don't pay to see somebody be humble. We want

Speaker 1: they had real die hard fans. And now Instagram has

940
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:11,080

957
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: you need people. Relationships are key. I told Troy Vincent.

958
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: I apologized, Bro, because there was an interaction that happened

959
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: that I knew, Bro, I got to be better. He

960
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: came to my cigar lounge in Atlanta, and I know

961
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: I was gonna say this, but and I thought he

962
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: was trying to eat because we have a full menu lobster, steak, chicken,

963
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: like whatever, small place or whatever, and I wanted him

964
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: to eat like I wanted him to enjoy his food.

965
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:53,959
Speaker 1: And my cousin who serves as my general manager there,

966
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: he was like, he's not eating. And this was like

967
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: forty five minutes after he said he was there. So

968
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa he waiting on me. He's like, yeah, Bro,

969
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: he waiting on you.

970
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 2: Bro.

971
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: I fishtailed out of it, like, Bro, I gotta get there.

972
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 1: By the time I got there, he was gone. I textedim,

973
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: he didn't reply. I called him, he didn't answer. I

974
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: was like, Bro, I can't. I can't play with people time.

975
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And that day he made

976
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: me a better businessman. So now it's like, yo, I

977
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: gotta be where I gotta be and when I'm here,

978
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: like I gotta be where my culture. And I always

979
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: said because like I didn't want to just do an interview.

980
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't get excited to do just interviews just to

981
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: do it, like I really want people to feel the past, like,

982
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: oh I ain't know that about Camp. Now I can

983
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: enjoy you know, I'm now a fan of him because

984
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: of that. But yeah, that Troy's situation is one of

985
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: many things that now I'm not perfect, but I'm getting

986
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: to that state where it's like, yo, I'm building something great. Yeah,

987
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,880

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been some crazies.

00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: I leave it to you.

1001
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead like he's no, Bro, But.

1002
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: Check this out. Everything that I've done post football, I

1003
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: have not played a single snap in three years. Think

1004
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, and you're getting folks on ESPN triggered. Bro,

1005
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: I have not played a snap in three years, and

1006
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: people are still garnering real emotions in regards to cabinet

1007
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: and everything that we've seen. It has been something that

1008
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: is like, Yo, it was well thought out. It was

1009
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: very strategic and how we roll out the plan and

1010
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: even going back real quick too. When I told my

1011
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: agent at that time, like, yo, I do not want

1012
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: to be a sports analyst, it wasn't that I did

1013
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: not want to do that outside of, you know, being

1014
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: around football for so long. It was also I didn't

1015
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: think a network was going to trust who I was

1016
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: or my intentions. Like Bro, I every day I always

1017
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: have to introduce myself or I'm in a job interview

1018
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: because people are always like is he is he really?

1019
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, and then they always

1020
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: leave like most of the time, I don't know. Most

1021
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: of the time it was like, oh, he's a cool guy.

1022
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: But I did I felt like being on the network.

1023
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: They were gonna muzzle me.

1024
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, don't wear that.

1025
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: You know.

1026
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't wear this on because it's you. But somebody listen.

1027
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: But I'm like, they did it for Craig Segret, you

1028
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that was giving me hope.

1029
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: But he had his own personality, he had his own exclusives,

1030
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, on the NBA sideline. But I'm like, but

1031
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: for me, every day, I am capable of putting it

1032
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: on every day, and I want to put it on

1033
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: every day. But will somebody allow me to lean into

1034
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: who I am every day?

1035
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: That's what I that's the question.

1036
01:00:55,720 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: But in regards to Funky Friday, I've been able to

1037
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: garner a lot of attention in the culture dynamic with

1038
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: not having access to a lot. Right. I just did

1039
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: an event the other day at a celebrity flag football event.

1040
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: I saw that, right, I don't even like doing those things.

1041
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: But my team was like, yo, you have to now

1042
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: start inserting yourself and being at these events. I'm like,

1043
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: cam Bro, I don't want to do like, but if

1044
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: you don't get your ass up there and work like

1045
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: this is this is a job now And it's simple

1046
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: as athletes. You're used to being hunted, Like, yo, hey

1047
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Peana Tillman, do you have a representative, like we want

1048
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: to offer him black Hey, Roma Harper, you know, we

1049
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: want to give you The hunted things come to you.

1050
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: They hunt you out to get. As an entrepreneur, you're

1051
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: the hunter. You have to insert yourself. You have to

1052
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: be these places. You have to you know, hey, just

1053
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 1: put me in a room and I figure everything else out.

1054
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: Like you have to be in the places, show the

1055
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: faces like who's that guy? You know what I'm saying?

1056
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: And most of the time they're not going to just

1057
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: give you something if they don't believe or are pitched

1058
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: for you to do that. So now for me, it's

1059
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: like I have to do these things because they don't

1060
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: really know what I know. And that's that. So for

1061
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Funky Friday as a whole, it's like, Yo, I've realized that,

1062
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: just like everything. When I do my research on the

1063
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmels, the Oprah Winfrey's, I've always said I wanted

1064
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 1: to be the modern day Arsenio Hall show. My next

1065
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: guest needs no introduction, the Joe Rogan Show, like the

1066
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: people who are able to really curate conversation. It's all

1067
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: predicated the success and the large part is predicated on

1068
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: the talent. Yeah, and I've been able to get my

1069
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: rep Like people don't realize that Funky Friday started in

1070
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: New England as an outlet for me to talk about anything.

1071
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: And it started in the back of a car. So

1072
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Foxborough was forty five minutes no traffic, or thirty eight

1073
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: minutes with no traffic from Foxboro to Boston. I wanted

1074
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to stay in Boston. I'm bro dry it it's just

1075
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: ashy out there. It was just you know, if it

1076
01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: wasn't for the Patriots, bro, it'd be a little catch,

1077
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: no doubt. And that town comes alive because you know

1078
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: we've all heard of football college towns. Well, Foxboro is

1079
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: like a football NFL town. And as I was going

1080
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: back and forth that transport, I was saying, like I

1081
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: need to I got things in my brain that I'm

1082
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: suffering in silence, like I'm going crazy. It's just all

1083
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: about football, football, football, football, football, Like I'm like, people

1084
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: don't really know me here, you know what I'm saying,

1085
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm not really I don't have the time to express

1086
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: myself in that way because even with COVID you have

1087
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: to be six feet apart every other other desk. And

1088
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I had some like

1089
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: my company at that time was contractor based, meaning I

1090
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: had good relationships with people and I would pay them

1091
01:04:54,640 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: on a contract basis. So with that, I said, I'm

1092
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna start talking. I'm gonna start talking boom boom booming

1093
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: after the you know, stop playing. I wanted. I didn't

1094
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: want it to no disrespect, but I didn't want it

1095
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: to kind of be like the podcasting. Like if you

1096
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: see my production, it's a show like Mike's set, comparable

1097
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: almost to Jimmy Kimmel, our Senior Hall. It is oprah Win,

1098
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: great lighting like those things. I'm like, Yo, I don't

1099
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: want people to look at this as a podcast. I

1100
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: want people to look at this as a show. So

1101
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: over time, I've been able to garner a lot of

1102
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: pro bonos by just guys like yeah, I come on

1103
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: the show. Charleston White the same thing. He was like, Bro,

1104
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: what's your budget? Bro? I ain't got no budget. Bro.

1105
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: It's like, if you want to do it, do it,

1106
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: and if not, Bro, we'll find ways. That line, he

1107
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: was like, don't worry about it. I'll figure it out

1108
01:05:59,120 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: and it comes on.

1109
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

1110
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's I mean it was so many dogs.

1111
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: I've got so many people paid off of using my AI,

1112
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, content to put on the platform and then

1113
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: get them views and likes. It's just like bro. But

1114
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: that's what's the reason why I wanted to do it.

1115
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to show my reach. I want to show

1116
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: my versatility, you know, and to be able to not

1117
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: only do that, but also when you think about Krishan Rock,

1118
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: a person where you may not know who she is

1119
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: or her music, you know, she has a following so

1120
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: much so that I've never seen this anything like it

1121
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: when I was about to do Krishan Rock. Nothing personal,

1122
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: but she goes on live. What's the most when you

1123
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: go on your live, Like, if you were to pull

1124
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:56,040

Speaker 1: on as we're having these conversations and it's like dope.

1173
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Stop asking close ended questions. Ask open ended questions, like

1174
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: sixty thousand followers or sixty thousand people, how does it

1175
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:08,040

Speaker 1: like damn god, you know, And it's more than any

1177
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: other I mean, the NFL and the NFLPA does a

1178
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: great job of trying to do initiatives. But I always say, like,

1179
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: you can lead the people the water, but they gotta

1180
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: want to drink. They gotta want to take these seminars serious,

1181
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But when you have real

1182
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: relationships with people that it's like yo, like you've been

1183
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: doing this for thirty plus years, and it's a skill,

1184
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: it's an art, and I'm so interested into becoming and

1185
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: perfecting my craft that I will be the first person

1186
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: to take And I say to this that every person

1187
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: I hate saying, employees, people who work alongside with me.

1188
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I tell them, you're not here to do what I say.

1189
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: You're here to make me do what you say, and

1190
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: you have to have merit behind it. Why should I

1191
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: go to the Superow? What's the plan when we get

1192
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl? Who's gonna be doing what during Super Bowl?

1193
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: Who's editing this what and what's the deadline for this?

1194
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 1: Like those type of simple questions leads to long term success.

1195
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: And it's the consistency and it's the curiosity and also

1196
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: the want to right. And I gotta say it this

1197
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,640
Speaker 1: way for people to understand it, like people have to

1198
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: give a Yeah, like you gotta give a bro, because

1199
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,719

01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: show and they not gonna you know what I'm saying.

1201
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that was like, Bro, if

1202
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: people know that you care that measure of loyalty from

1203
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: the viewer to the consumption person of the consumer, they know, Oh,

01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: Let me tune in in a way that and I'm

1209
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: not going to ask the surface level questions. I'm not

1210

1213
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: out how to.

01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 2: Get to what I really want.

1215
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:31,639

Speaker 1: I was being interviewed and still am interviewed. It's like

1217

01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: raised in the church. My dad made me polish his shoes.

1219
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,759
Speaker 1: I knew how to iron at a very young age.

1220
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I started picking my clothes out to eliminate any responsibility

1221
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: for my mom. So yeah, how would you describe your fashion?

01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,839
Speaker 1: podcast and find out. I can go on another person's

1225
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: podcast to find out. I can go on another podcast

1226
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: and find out. And in order for you to be different,

1227
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: you got to prepare different. You know what I'm saying,

1228
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: Like take that time, like take that like yo boom

1229
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: every time. Everybody always asks on my teams, like you

1230
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: want to see the questions? No, I don't. Like you

1231
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: scan the questions and you see it. When you operate

1232
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: on purity and love, the intentions is always going to

1233
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: be pure. I want real emotions, like I want like

1234
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: yo twenty fifteen man, and then that first thing that

1235
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: I just plucked from the air, like I want to

1236
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: tell you that. Yeah, and that's how you just build

1237
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: a body of work.

1238
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 4: Bro working in TV space, that's always the best way

1239
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 4: to do it. And I'm really bad at it because

1240
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 4: a lot of times I end up having a conversation

1241
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 4: before we had a conversation because I'm like, just like.

1242
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 2: To just talk.

1243
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, I gotta be more intentional about that.

1244
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: But stop it though, Like I've caught myself doing that then,

1245
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:16,839
Speaker 1: but you feel.

1246
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 3: Like I'm just like, wow, I'm just like.

1247
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: I should rely be saying I really be talking. And

1248
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm a writer, so I write a lot of things

1249
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 1: down and if I can't write, I text myself. I

1250
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: text my other phone. And then so when I go

1251
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: to my phone, like I see what my notes were,

1252
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: and if I can't write it, I said, you know, no,

1253
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: no no, But then I text myself just to remind me.

1254
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: So when I go back on set, I can't ask

1255
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: that again. And it trains your mind to adapt to

1256
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 1: their way to be have more retention to that.

1257
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after a quick break. Yeah, So

1258
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 3: this is the last final question. Clearly you've had success

1259
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 3: on the field and off the field. Mount Rushmore, who

1260
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,040

1291
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: by product of who you hang around the most, not

1292
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: where you come from. It's who you hang around the most.

1293
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: And I believe in family. I believe in you know,

1294
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: really being understood. It's such a great feeling to be

1295
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: understood because you don't have to say anything to be understood.

1296
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,599
Speaker 1: You don't have to you know, use anything outside of

1297
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: the body language to be understood. Jerry Richardson because he

1298
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:49,879
Speaker 1: took a chance on me. You know, but before Jerry Richardson,

1299
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: like Jerry Richardson was a person. He always said, Cameron,

1300
01:17:55,320 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: make sure you save your money and make sure like

1301
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: he had these these pillars. Yeah, harmony is important to me, Cameron.

1302
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: If you don't have harmony, you don't have like what's harmony,

1303
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: Miss Richinson. Making sure everybody's on the same page, everybody's

1304
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: ego can get involved, he would, those are the conversations

1305
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: that we have camera. Yes, sir, miss Richesson, you got

1306
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: a girlfriend. I think so, Miss Richson that she love you.

1307
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: I think so, mister. When I was your age, Cameron,

1308
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: I was living in Los Angeles, California, and and he man,

1309
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 1: we would you ever? I love that he calls you.

1310
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,600
Speaker 2: Camera was one of the weirdest things that it was

1311
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 2: like yo, like we was having these moments in his

1312
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 2: house where like it.

1313
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: Was kind of sketch because he had like get out

1314
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: maids and it's like hold on, like this is you know,

1315
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,560
Speaker 1: like this is real.

1316
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 2: Money here, you know what I mean.

1317
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: And then you know when I'm coming, I was like

1318
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm the fresh prince, you know, walking around.

1319
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 2: Hey, and let me get that lemonade. Ms Ronnid you

1320
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

1321
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:15,879
Speaker 1: She was like, okay, Cam, you can have a lemonade,

1322
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: and would you like your cookies to do?

1323
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 2: It's like, nah, just make the grill cheese. Come on,

1324
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 2: let's go on our spot.

1325
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: You know. It was one of these things and I

1326
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: think that that's what he liked the most because everybody

1327
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: kind of gave him that like can I do anything

1328
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: for you? Miss?

1329
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 2: Like I was so naive that it was almost like brilliant,

1330
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 2: like I didn't.

1331
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:40,640
Speaker 1: Look, man, hey, shoot, what we need man in the draft, like, bro,

1332
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: we need some dog like and we need some dogs

1333
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: camera and what's a doll? And're like, man, don't get

1334
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: it like we would. Those things was happening in this

1335
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:56,839
Speaker 1: in his mansion, and he taught me the core essence

1336
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: of people and and those pillars. Harmony was the biggest

1337
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: one for him. And he would always revert back to

1338
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: when he left the NFL because he was one of

1339
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: the only owners who actually played in the NFL to

1340
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: have a team, and he got to that place because

1341
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: the NFL was not the NFL that we know today,

1342
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 1: so he had to have a job to pay. He

1343
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: played with Johnny Unitas and he wasn't getting paid enough

1344
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: to sustain his family. He's like, you know, Rosly, miss

1345
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 1: Roslyn Richardson, was you know, pregnant at the time. I

1346
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: believe I'm remembering this story right, and they had a

1347
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: baby on the way. I can't support my family if

1348
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: y'all don't give me. Like he was representing himself, like, bro,

1349
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: give me three fifty and I come work. You know

1350
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like they didn't allow him to

1351
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: do it, so he had to go make money. And

1352
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: now him owning owning a large majority of Bojangles and

1353
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: fast food restaurant change is something that is essential also,

1354
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: So that's three three. The fourth one, I would say

1355
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 1: Brad Franchione. Brad Franchion is the head coach of my

1356
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: junior college, and JUCO for me was a time of evolution,

1357
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 1: like I found myself. And we were just talking the

1358
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: other day about like coming up probably with a DOCU

1359
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: series of like the creation of Cam because for the

1360
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 1: longest people call me Cameron on TV, like when I

1361
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: was at Florida, Cameron Newton, like that's how they know.

1362
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 1: That introduced me, Yeah, and then by the time I

1363
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 1: got to Auburn, it was Cam. Yeah. So that time

1364
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: in JUCO, I created this person. It wasn't that I

1365
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: created something I unlocked. There was an awakening in me

1366
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: that I was better going in. I was as confident

1367
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 1: leaving because I was so comfortable with being by myself.

1368
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: At that point, I thought I was so like I

1369
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 1: needed clicks, I needed groups. I needed people to kind

1370
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: of like feel like because when we was at Florida,

1371
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:30,799
Speaker 1: think about this, Joe Hayden, Aaron and As Mike, Marquise Pouncy,

1372
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: Chris Rainey, Carlos Dunlap major right, a mob black, and

1373
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: I was just in our class that graduated early, you know,

1374
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: not everybody else. We were always together. So when I left,

1375
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: I didn't want to leave Florida. But the main reason

1376
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: why I was going to Florida was not happening. I

1377
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: loved the team, I loved how I was being developed.

1378
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: I just wasn't playing. Yeah, And it wasn't that I

1379
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. It was like, bro, the greatest football

1380
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: player of our time was playing at that time. You

1381
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He was like the gods sent

1382
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: Messiah Tamn t Bow. You know what I'm saying. It

1383
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: was like, yo, there was not I didn't and I

1384
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: did not want him to get hurt for me to play.

1385
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: That was what my spirit was not easy with accepting.

1386
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: So I had to leave. I was like, yo, I

1387
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: don't want to have this person. He's so good of

1388
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: a person, of a human. The world saw, but even

1389
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:38,959
Speaker 1: I seen how he worked. I seen how he prepared,

1390
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: and I know how he handled the not scrutiny, but

1391
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 1: the managing of people expected a lot. So leaving Florida,

1392
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Brad Frenchion was the court was the coach who gave

1393
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: me that opportunity without Brad Frenchion. I don't know if

1394
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: if the world knows Cam Newton like they know Cam

1395
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: Newton because and juco, you only get four full scholarships.

Speaker 1: the full scholarship. It was like wow, look back and

1404
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: think like you gave me that, and it was hard.

1405
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: I was like, man, where else was the money? Because

1406
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 1: I went from a college institution, like Bro, pil grant

Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Bro. I looked at that money, Bro,

01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: and it was spunt already, right, it was spun man

1412
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: was it didn't make it through the weekend, Bro, Bro.

1413
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 2: We went to the mall.

1414
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Like we got four of the more days, but this

1415
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: money to stretch. But yeah, man, coach French Young gave

1416
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:24,719
Speaker 1: me the trust that I needed and not to bring

1417
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,759
Speaker 1: this card in. But I never could trust a white

1418
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:31,839
Speaker 1: person into him. Mm hmmm, because.

1419
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 2: I only seen white people in the way of.

1420
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: Authority figures, teachers, police officers, coaches and coach French youon

1421
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: just unlocked this like I can trust him, you know

1422
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. In a way, it's like, no, cam, Like,

1423
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 1: he gave me this book and I'm not a reader.

1424
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a documentary person. Always been that way.

1425
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: He gave me his book. He was like, I want

1426
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: you to read it, and I was like, Coach, I

1427
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:00,719
Speaker 1: don't know too much Like reading the book, I cannot remember.

1428
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: But the structure of the book was it was by

1429
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 1: laws of life and it was simple. It was just

1430
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,640
Speaker 1: like every it was like I want to see like

1431
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 1: five hundred pages, but every page had another bylaw or

1432
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: a rule something similar is like but very quick easy.

1433
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean it was an easy, simple read. It was

1434
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 1: like always wear a watch, because why you wear a watch?

1435
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: It shows people that you know this or Dad, you know,

1436
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: always make our contact when you shake hands when a

1437
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 1: man approaches. It was one of those things that he

1438
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 1: was building a man. That's not to say my father

1439
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to do the same thing, because my father

1440
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 1: has always been that person. But you know, hearing you

1441
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: got to do better from your dad and hearing you

1442
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 1: got to do better from your coach, it's almost like

1443
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: two different things, Like you receive it more from your

1444
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: coach than your dad. Like my dad was always trying

1445
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 1: to do these things as bestie know how, but it

1446
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: was like some like I bust my behind for this family.

1447
01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: But when you know, when I got around Coach French,

1448
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: you know it was it wasn't more football than him

1449
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 1: investing in me. And he was probably the first person

1450
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: that gave me confidence and acknowledged that, Kim, you like

1451
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: people like you and that's a that's a superpower. Like

1452
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: I've never had a player that people are drawn to.

1453
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: And he was ever telling He's like, man, the way

1454
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: you tell stories, it's like captivated. And I don't know

1455
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 1: where I got that from. It was just like just finessing,

1456
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: Like my dad is.

1457
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 2: A great storyteller too.

1458
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: But those things, I just love people, bro Like I

1459
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: just love people them. I hate school, but I love

1460
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 1: the people in the school. Like it was it was.

1461
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 1: It was the instructor teaching the course, like if I

1462
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: liked her, liked him. It could be trigonometry, great class.

1463
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: I loved it, like it was like, m what's up, man,

1467
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 1: pe and I learned that too. It's like even with coaches,

1468
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: like coach, we ain't gonna work. You don't know how

1469
