<v Speaker 2>The production company we worked with before, yeah, they brought

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 2>up the idea of everything and so this was like

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 2>this originally before we got to this spot, was that

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 2>a like a vacant broken down, like what was that

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.599
<v Speaker 2>soda company? Do Son drop like in mississipp And the

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 2>dude that owned this bus his name is Huan and

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>yeah Huan. So Juan sent two white dudes down there

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 2>because that's like we're like the KKK was out apparently

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 2>his words not ours, but this isn't our doing, Like

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 2>we saged weed. We've had an old priest and a

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>young priest. We've done our due diligence like this, some

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 2>dark ship's happened in this bus, but we're bringing it

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>back to light.

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.439
<v Speaker 3>Dude, I kind of felt the vibe, but I walked

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 3>on it was kind of uneasy, really.

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>Coach Arthur Smith was like to He's like, I didn't

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>know if I should really like step on here. I

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was a little sketched out, like walking up to the bus, like, hey,

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>are they really inside of that thing?

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 2>There was when we when we got this bus done

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>and we did all this stuff in here, we kept

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 2>this is the only thing original, but that the floors

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 2>are done.

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 3>We painted everything and then moved.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Dude, has it doesn't work? Yeah, it doesn't work. We're

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a mobile eventually. I think we're just gonna

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>start turning that negative into a positive in the dollar

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>signed community of our pod cast. I feel, dude, how's

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the retired life? Man?

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I've been on the retired life for

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 4>like six months. It's good, bro. I mean it's really

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 4>it's stress free. It's stress free.

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 2>It's stress free. Stress listen to he sounds so at peace,

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I am, man.

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean we, I mean, we talked throughout the whole year,

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 4>but I think this was a decision that was coming

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 4>for a long time.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, we said I was going to play as

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 3>long as it made sense.

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 4>And nine years and you know, everybody's like, you gotta

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 4>get to ten, you gotta get the ten.

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, why, Like, I'm straight, you know.

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>What I mean.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.320
<v Speaker 4>I've played out both my deals now, I've done good

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 4>for myself and I don't have to play, never be

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 4>in a position where I had to play.

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I just feel like.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 4>The stuff off the field is becoming way more purposeful

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 4>for me, and that's more stimulating to my mind.

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 4>So I think that it's been a decision longer than

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 4>making and I'm definitely at peace with it.

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking that's just our whole year together, like

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room and stuff like that, like you

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and Rack.

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.400

<v Speaker 2>look at you guys. I can't even go over there.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.160

<v Speaker 2>we need to tell you that you got to go

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.760

<v Speaker 4>No, But right, we were each other's therapists throughout the

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 4>last year. But it was it was good to have

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 4>somebody like that, who was that you know, advanced in

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.720

<v Speaker 2>like on next, what was it? Igniting the fire? They do?

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I didn't be like I'm kind of exposed by my

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 2>own coach right now.

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Dude, that's brutalized it.

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>So you don't miss it or there ever are there

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 2>are the days you wake up and you're like, dude,

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I could I could play another game?

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Bro? Do you want me to be honest with you? No?

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is this is a fool like do you

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 2>do whatever you want?

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Bro?

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't miss it at all, Nothing like this right

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 4>this like conversations.

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 3>Like yeah, I mean yeah, like that's the thing that

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 3>you that you miss.

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 4>But it hasn't really hit in because I've been so

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 4>busy that I haven't really had time to sit down

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 4>and process.

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 4>I miss the guys, like you know, I miss having

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 4>those laughs and stuff and just that that camaraderie. But

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 4>waking up, you know, putting making sure like because you

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.640
<v Speaker 4>know how I was with my body, bro, like stop process.

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 4>And so for me it was like, I wake up, Okay,

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 4>I feel this little tweak at my knee. I gotta

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 4>go do some correct exercise. Just gotta go get treatment

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 4>after this acupuncture, massage, chiropractice. So to be able to

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 4>kind of just wake up and get on the elliptical

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.360
<v Speaker 4>and play with my kids and you know, handle business

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 4>and whatnot. No, I can't say I miss it, bro,

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 4>I really don't. I having a chance to have, you know,

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 4>and mind you, I've been coming to this decision for

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 4>a long time.

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, I mean a long time, like a year. Okay.

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 2>So if the last year around this time, you're like

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 2>this is it started to pop back in your head

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>like this kind It.

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Was like, yeah, this is my last year at my deal,

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 4>and you know, if it makes sense, if the right

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 4>opportunities on the table.

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 3>I told my.

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Agent Aj Vanderchuck, I said, look, man, if it's not

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 4>a good team, a good market, or a good role,

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 4>don't even entertain it.

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 3>And so you know we've had we had talks with teams.

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 4>You know, over the off season, and it was like,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, do I want to uproot my family for

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 4>a one year deal and move across the country.

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Probably not, you know what I mean.

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>So when you can tap into everything you're probably doing

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:18.120
<v Speaker 1>off the field.

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.919
<v Speaker 4>Exactly, I've been sprinkling a lot of seeds throughout my career,

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 4>and so I think now it's kind of time to

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 4>activate those seeds and really take advantage of it and leverage,

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 4>leverage my network.

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, feel free to plug plug away. Many know, what are.

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Some of these seeds? You know, I'm always asking what

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the hell you're up to because I have fomo.

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I always have following guys. You're talking business? Hey, boys,

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>are we doing this?

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 2>What's the deal?

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:38.719
<v Speaker 3>Here?

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Send me the information? You see the boys fix your name?

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 4>It's a white way that dere So yeah, we got

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 4>a whole list here. I mean, we're trying to hit

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 4>some of stuff.

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Then that's one of the stuff I know about start

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>at I wanted to start at CBD and THC.

0:18:59.119 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Damn.

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>That was that's like because because I texted you it

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.919
<v Speaker 1>was recently too. I was like, yo, if if if

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 1>we take CBD or what did I say. It's like, hey,

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>it's CBD legal for us to take because there's all

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>like this tipping point of like knowing CBD has a

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit of that whatever percentage in it to where

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>if you test positive for THAC, it's you're clarified for

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>at tree drug. And everybody kind of wanted wants to

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>know if can we do CBD because everybody kind of

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 1>knows now how beneficial it is for your body for

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>like muscles, joints and everything like that, and you don't

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.400
<v Speaker 1>get the psychedelic effect that you do with THHC.

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>So people are like, yo, are you doing t Are

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 2>you doing.

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.880
<v Speaker 1>CBD now when you haven't been tested the one time

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>of year yet, like have you taken CBD? And everybody's like,

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't really want to test or you don't want

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>to push it. So I definitely, I know both of

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.879
<v Speaker 1>us would like to know about the CBDTC.

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 4>So I wouldn't I wouldn't test it. You know, there's

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 4>different forms of CBD. There's the full spectrum where you

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 4>have a little bit of the THAC. So if you

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 4>have less than point zero three percent of TAC, you

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 4>know that's full spectrum.

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 3>That's full spectrum CBD oil.

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Now what they have is there's a called a CBD extract,

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 4>so they extract the THAC from it, and you're getting

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 4>straight CBD. You could take that right before a drug

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 4>test and be fine. Now, what I don't know is

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 4>the full spectrum that has the THAC. I don't know

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 4>if that's safe for a drug test. I always tell guys, hey, look,

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 4>wait till you get your tests. Then you can start

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 4>taking it, you know. And then there's also the ointments

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 4>and stuff, and nobody's really done a whole bunch of

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 4>research on it.

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not to.

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Say it's still vague in a sense, but I think

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 4>that the NFL just needs to take it off the list.

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 4>Like why are we still, you know, getting getting punished

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.640
<v Speaker 4>for taking, you know, cannabis or whatever using cannabis when

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.479
<v Speaker 4>we're like the only lead that gets punished for it,

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean.

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 3>It's just, yeah, it's backwards to me.

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I've talked to a bunch of people about that kind

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>of situation, and it seems like the NFL made it

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>banned right right away, and like the NBA didn't really

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>do that. I don't think hockey does that or baseball

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>does that either. So because they went and did it,

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 2>now hard because it's federally illegal to go back and say, hey,

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 2>just kidding, we won't we're not going to test for

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that because you know what an X Y and me

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 2>when there's a YEP and there wouldn't be a Bust

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.879
<v Speaker 2>with the Boys podcast with a train going by. Just

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 2>we just fight through adversity all the time. But I

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 2>do think it's like like a liability issue for the NFL,

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>fay or like took it off the banned substance list

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>without it being federally legal, which I which I get you.

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, Like it's crazy that like vicing in

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>and percocets and all these things are are so easily

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 2>prescribed for you, Like, oh, you have an issue to

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 2>take this, you know, take these pills, say these chemically

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 2>made things when we're talking about a plant, like you

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 2>can't take a plant.

0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it's all about public opinion.

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:43.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the NFL will never be ahead of public opinion.

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 4>They will not take any risks because it's all about

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 4>the shield.

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 4>So now that you see the public opinion towards cannabis

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 4>shifting towards more being accepting of it. Yeah, in society,

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 4>they're kind of like, ah, yeah, we could talk to

0:21:59.000 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 4>the NFL PA.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 3>But this is the one thing you got to understand.

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:06.119
<v Speaker 4>The NFL is always positioning itself when you in terms

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:10.360
<v Speaker 4>of CB the CBA and labor talks because they want

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 4>to make that an issue and a negotiating point for

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.880
<v Speaker 4>the next you know, lockout or c CBA.

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Coming up.

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 4>And so they're going to be like, hey, look, play

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 4>eighteen games and we'll let you you know, smoke cannabis,

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:26.880
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean.

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 3>That's how they'll leverage it.

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 4>We always exactly, we always look at it as there's

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 4>economic and there's non economic issues when you talk about

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 4>a CBA agreement, So you can't lump in you know,

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 4>something like a medical benefit or cannabis in regards to

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 4>playing eighteen games. They just, you know what I mean,

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't equal out. So I think that they're kind

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 4>of waiting on that to use that as a negotiate

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 4>negotiation tactic, which is kind of crazy, but that's just

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:54.679
<v Speaker 4>what you're dealing with.

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>This is business, right. It is kind of like try

0:22:57.760 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 2>to get anything. If they can get eighteen games and

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 2>then say hey, all right, we used some smoke weed

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.879
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, use cannabis, right, what a shitty deal for

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.399
<v Speaker 2>the players. It kind of is like I saw this

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 2>said something that, like I saw jo of you guys. Yeah, hey,

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:13.959
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna take that, right boys, Yeah, he relax. Now,

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy. It's just it's so wild. I saw something

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:19.199
<v Speaker 2>the other day like they're like saying, you do eight

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>players play eighteen games, but you said them for two

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of them, so still players are only playing sixteen games.

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, well, then you're messing with people start records.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.199
<v Speaker 2>You're messing with people snap records, which for offense Liane

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 2>is kind of all you got. And then it's like

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.199
<v Speaker 2>why if you're going to play eighteen, play eighteen, then

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>put two bi weeks in there. But like, don't dilute

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the products you have because you're because it goes up

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:41.959
<v Speaker 2>and down a little bit. Now, I don't know all

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.199
<v Speaker 2>the logistics and everything of how like the NFL and

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the views, but I do know that you know those

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 2>rumblings when it came to the anthem and there's rumbling

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 2>like this and this is all these demographics that are

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 2>either happy or upset. But like you do eighteen games,

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>things might get a little you know, real dice man,

0:23:57.600 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 2>it might get it might get too dicey. And if

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 2>you if your conversation for that is like, hey, we'll

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 2>take two preseason games off, it's like, yeah, who gives

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a ship? Yeah, like it takes one off. Anyway, games

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 2>you play at least more starter, you play three series

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 2>at most sometimes right, and you're done and that's it.

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Take out a preseason game, keep it at sixteen games

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>at a bye week.

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, But what do you think about? See?

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost like, when I get into a groove of

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the season, I'm like, yo, let's just do this when

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I can. Sometimes when I come back from a bye week,

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little more sore. My body is like a

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 2>little more relaxed. Yeah, you know, and I feel like

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 2>reamp myself. I have, but almost I don't. I am

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 2>not standing on this. I'm being Devil's advocate, right. I

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 2>don't want to feel like, Yo, no bye week, let's

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 2>just rip at sixteen. Yeah you're twenty seven, Yeah, dude,

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 2>it's younger. You turn twenty seven, I'm turning turning. I'm

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 2>turning twenty turning twenty six right now, were you I

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>think you No, no, no, I'm twenty seven.

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:54.439
<v Speaker 4>I'm turning twenty eight. My father turned twenty eight years six. Yeah, okay,

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 4>so were you there?

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 4>You were here where we had a bye week after

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Week three? Yes, and then we had thirteen Street.

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. That was a tough That was a tough year.

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 2>That was miserable.

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:07.399
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, Like imagine playing three games going to

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 4>a bye week.

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>That's always the worst. Like this, late those late by

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 2>weeks the best we had. I think the year after that,

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>we had like a week ten by week or like

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the latest week you could have, and everyone was like, oh,

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 2>this is love. Yeah, I've always been archy, dude.

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>The Skins had Week four last year and I was

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 1>all text boys like, hey man, that that beginning bye

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>week or early in the year, that blows.

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Tian's got a good one this year. It's like

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.679
<v Speaker 2>the it's in November, okay, so that's all that's I

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:33.879
<v Speaker 2>think the first week in November, it's like a week solid.

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 2>How you feel about the season, bro, I feel good

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 2>about it, man. I think the good thing about Arthur

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 2>being the OC is it gives everybody a chance to

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 2>be in the same offense. Two years in a row,

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 2>which we never really got. Our defense is always like

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 2>even since I've been here, even when we went two

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen and three and thirteen, Like, I just feel

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 2>like y'all are always so consistent. Yeah, you know, it's

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:53.159
<v Speaker 2>just about the offense. The ebbs and flows of the

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 2>offense got to be more consistent, and like the offensive line,

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 2>we do a better job of protecting. Give Marcus more time.

0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Receivers got to get open faster. Like it's all you know,

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:04.879
<v Speaker 2>it's the team sport. But I really think like of

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.639
<v Speaker 2>all the years, it seems like people are really starting

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to buy in quite a bit. Like when I first

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 2>got there in Tilsy fourteen, it was a lot of

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 2>old dudes like your tender, like Michael Ruse and Chris

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:16.919
<v Speaker 2>Spencer was in our room and it was kind of

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 2>like just kind of did your thing, you know. It's

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:21.400
<v Speaker 2>like everyone was in and out. I didn't really understand

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:22.959
<v Speaker 2>like the NFL at all. Now I'm starting to get it.

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like dudes are working hard, and we got

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 2>talent too. We got some young guys with some talent.

0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 3>A lot of talent.

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I think it's all about culture, you know

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 4>what It really is. It's like I seen guys I

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 4>came in my first year at Jeff Fisher, so it

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 4>was Vince Young, Chris Johnson, you know, like older like

0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:43.720
<v Speaker 4>Chris Hope, Courtland Finn again, we had a really old team.

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:44.640
<v Speaker 3>That team.

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, guys just kind of did whatever they wanted whatever,

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 4>playing in Miami, lose the game, stay in Miami, don't

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.439
<v Speaker 4>even get on the tough Yeah, that's.

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean.

0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:58.720
<v Speaker 3>So like when I got out, I was like, man,

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 3>what is going on? This is kind of loose to loose.

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I wasn't used to that, and then you know,

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 4>he was going Then Munchet came, and then Wizard Hunt.

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Who was next?

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Malarkey Malarkey?

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 4>And then now it was like man, it's just I've

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 4>seen so many different cultures try to be implemented, and

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 4>I've been kind of studying that. It's like okay, what

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 4>like I try to take notes on like each you know,

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 4>leader or coach that came in. It's like, okay, run

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 4>your own business. Yeah, like what can I take away

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 4>from this? Like this works here just didn't really quite

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 4>go over so well. Guys bought into this, but this

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 4>didn't work, And so I tried to look at each

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 4>coach and kind of learn and take something away from

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 4>each coach that I could apply in, you know, in

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 4>the business world, because I mean it's you're leading the organization,

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:45.719
<v Speaker 4>right men, how would you compare them all since you've

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 4>been under way?

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:50.199
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like you read off five there, Yeah, makeays.

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 4>So I think I think the common thread that I

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 4>think worked the best, at least from.

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 3>My perspective, was ownership.

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 4>Having the team feel like there's a sense of ownership,

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 4>that you have a say somewhat.

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 3>In what's going on.

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 4>As to say, hey, look, this is more of a

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 4>collaborative approach, right, like understanding that there is a hierarchy,

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 4>there is authority, understanding those things. But to me to say, hey, look,

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 4>i'm the head coach, I'm going to ask your input.

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 4>You're the one on the field sacrificing your body and

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.440
<v Speaker 4>doing all the work. Yes, I have a certain vantage point,

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 4>but let's collaborate.

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Let me get your insight. I might not agree with it,

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 3>but I'm gonna at least ask you, right.

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 4>So, I think when you kind of start to facilitate

0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 4>that type of ownership and that collaboration from a team

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 4>get you get even more buying. You know, I think

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 4>I think Malarkey did a good job at that. You know,

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 4>I think that you know, we had the leadership councils

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 4>and you know, all those different things, and I know

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 4>you probably had your opinions on.

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 3>My Larkey, but it's like, you know.

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 4>We we had like a core group of guys, whether

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 4>it be Vets, Starters, you know, the leaders of the team,

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 4>and they kind of we kind of governing the locker

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 4>room essentially, you know what I mean, if we've seen

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 4>something going going on, we were able to hold people accountable.

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I think that we still had you

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.560
<v Speaker 4>guys still had it, you know, on the team. But

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 4>I think having people feel like, you know, they're part

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 4>of something that they have a piece of ownership in it.

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 4>I think that applies to any any type of business,

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 2>What I mean, is that something you implement with the

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 2>stuff you have going on.

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 4>I think you gotta like it's a difference between paying

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 4>somebody to do a job and like, let's just say

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 4>me and you start a business and you should Yeah,

0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna happen.

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna happen.

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 4>So it's like, let's just say we go in, you know,

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 4>on a joint venture, and you know, I could pay

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 4>you as a consultant or an employee, or I could say, hey, look,

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 4>take some equity and we'll just kind of build this

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 4>thing out. You're gonna put way more time and energy

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 4>into it, knowing that you have some skin in the game,

0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 4>knowing that you're that you have ownership, and that you

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.240
<v Speaker 4>a piece of it. Then as I say, hey, look,

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm just going to pay you for nine to five.

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 4>You can clock and you clock out, but if you

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 4>own part of that business, you might work nine to

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 4>five and then go home and work seven to ten,

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean.

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 3>So it's all about.

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Having that sense and trying to facilitate that and stimulate

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 4>that in people to say, hey, look, buy into what

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 4>we're doing, you know what I mean. So I think

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 4>that that's something I've always kind of looked at it

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 4>from coaches, and I can apply that in the business

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 4>world as well.

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's good man.

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah how about what? Yeah another trend? What business have

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you implemented that kind of like thought, like, I don't

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 1>know what all all of your stuff that you do.

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I see you're getting a lot more traffic and action

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>through Vainner, Vanner Media, Vyner Sports that you're with. Yeah,

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much they've taught you, how much

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you collaborate with them. I don't know what all businesses

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you're in besides you know, the vegan really the vegan business,

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:00.120
<v Speaker 1>really in some of the philanthropy work that you do.

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 2>But are you Are you involved in any CBD or

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 2>TSG companies?

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm on like a board called Athletes for Care

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 4>that we kind of advocate for athletes' rights to use

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 4>cannabis products. But I'm not specifically affiliated with any cd

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 4>D or cannabis. A lot of people came out the

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 4>woodwork kind of when I started advocating for it.

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 2>And you know this is probably because it's like trendy.

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 3>It's very trendy four years ago.

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>You came out with them. Might cause my clean things.

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 2>You have the marijuana leagues on there, and all of

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, you had a random drug test.

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 4>Thought I had many drug tests over the last couple

0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 4>of years.

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 2>What did you get random judges for like substance abuse

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 2>or for p D because they can't they can't substance

0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 2>abus Once a year.

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 4>It's only once a year, but I had, like I

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 4>probably had seven to eight p D tests last year.

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Really, I mean, you were right there. He's like Derek

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 3>got it again.

0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know.

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 3>But but no, I mean when you say about like

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned Vayner, Like.

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Hang on a second, you're on that panel, what are

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the benefits of cannabis, Like what do you advocate for?

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Like why the TG and cannabis route over the pain

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 1>meds and the medicines that we have now in our league?

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Bro?

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Like you guys remember like all the reports of the

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 4>ct and like guys killing themselves, Like when Junior Saya

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 4>committed suicide, that kind of shook me up. I was like, damn,

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 4>this guy had everything. He played twenty years row a famer.

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, what would it take for him to

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 4>kill himself? Like he had it all? And so when

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 4>I started to really look into it, and I'm looking

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 4>at CTE and like.

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Like is that going to be me in ten fifteen years?

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 4>And so I started looking into other alternatives because there

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 4>weren't no options. It was just like, yeah, you play

0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 4>this game and you hope and pray to God that

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 4>you're going to be straight in you know, fifteen twenty

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 4>years that you could live.

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 3>A normal life. But I was like, nah, I got

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:55.360
<v Speaker 3>to be more proactive.

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 4>And then eug Monroe, he was playing for the Ravens

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 4>at the time, he was at the actual first you

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 4>know advocate for NFL in the NFL for cannabis, and

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 4>I seen him on CNN talking about it, and I

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 4>reached out to him like, yo, bro, like what's up,

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 4>Like I need to learn about this, and he just

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 4>started sharing research with me. Like in Israel they're doing

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 4>they do a lot of research on cannabis. Because it's

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more open, you can you can.

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Research it more easily.

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 4>And so I started reading stuff, looking at the neural

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 4>protecting qualities of it.

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, when you when you.

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Go play football, like you're doing this all day, and

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 4>so you get those subconcussive hits that create inflammation in

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 4>your brain. And so what CBD oil is basically patented

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:43.160
<v Speaker 4>as is a neural protectant. So if you take CBD oil,

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 4>let's just say you take some in theory before you

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 4>go and play a game, it would essentially limit the

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 4>amount of inflammation that comes into your brain from you

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 4>know different you know, head trauma, So that was the

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 4>big reason for me. I know a lot of guys

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 4>use it for pain inflammation. It's just a healthier alternative.

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 4>It works works naturally with your system as opposed to

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 4>opioid or you know, another painkiller.

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 3>It's just not as toxic to your system. So it's

0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 3>all about having options, bro.

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, CBD is definitely like something that could absolutely help.

0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I have a buddy who has a company in Arizona

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>called True Infusion, and they do like everything organic, like

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:21.400
<v Speaker 2>the right way to make CBD and stuff like that,

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.000
<v Speaker 2>So they run all that and he all the times like, man,

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could give you some of the stuff

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 2>to take while you're playing. And it's like if you

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:31.320
<v Speaker 2>go and I took a pain pill, like for the

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:35.240
<v Speaker 2>next three four days, like I've taken pain pills and

0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:37.879
<v Speaker 2>we can all agree, Like you don't feel better then

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 2>when you take a pain pill, like it's you feel amazing.

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 2>There's a reason why it's so addictive. Yeah, exactly, it's

0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 2>not that you don't have pain. It's like you forgot

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:48.239
<v Speaker 2>there ever existed the word pain. You know what I'm saying.

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Life's just different now, you know what I'm saying, so

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 2>but like once once you take that, like that chemically

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.840
<v Speaker 2>imbalances your brain and so for the next three four days,

0:34:58.160 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 2>like I'll even notice, like you know, I'm more ear

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 2>or I'm more like I'm more short with my wife

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>or my patience. I don't have as much patiences my

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 2>kids or whatever. So it's kind of like it's so

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:11.839
<v Speaker 2>easy to see and something like a plant, like that's

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 2>so natural, and I just don't know why there's so

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 2>much resistance on something like even hemp. Like if you

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 2>started growing and producing hemp, I've said this before in

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 2>this podcast, Like there's one hundred thousand products that you

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>could replace with hemp, including plastic, which is like like

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.319
<v Speaker 2>truly affecting our ecosystem, our oceans and everything to an

0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 2>extent that it's not going to be us. And that's

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 2>like human means are naturally selfish. Human beings are where

0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:39.200
<v Speaker 2>we come from caveman times. We haven't involved enough. We're

0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 2>so focused on how do we eat, how do we reproduce,

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and how do we get ours? You know, and the

0:35:43.800 --> 0:35:45.319
<v Speaker 2>thing we need to start focusing on is like it's

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:47.160
<v Speaker 2>not going to be our kids, or it means going

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to be our kids kids you know, it says our

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 2>grandkids are great grandkids that are going to feel the

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:53.520
<v Speaker 2>effects of what we're doing now. And something as simple

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.240
<v Speaker 2>as letting an athlete it takes something like CBD would

0:35:56.280 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>be so beneficial because you don't have those things, like

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 2>if you really were focused on like, let's focus on

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:05.320
<v Speaker 2>CT being an issue, Like you don't want brain issue

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.239
<v Speaker 2>to have like outfits linman defensive linemen, those like little

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:12.520
<v Speaker 2>tiny hits we call them sub subconcussion, sub subconcussive hits

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:14.439
<v Speaker 2>like those those are the things that add up over time,

0:36:14.960 --> 0:36:17.320
<v Speaker 2>and those are things you don't feel. But I noticed

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.480
<v Speaker 2>myself like even in November December, late in the season,

0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll be home and I'll be having my buddies will

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 2>come see me, and they'll be talking to me after games.

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even I can't even really form send it.

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I can talk, I can't talk, but like I'm like,

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm not as like, uh, I'm not as sharp, I'm

0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 2>not as like you know what I'm saying. So that's

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 2>definitely something that could be. Yeah, we should be focused on.

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Years down the road, like probably in the near future,

0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 1>ten fifteen years whatever, we're going to look back at

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>this time and kind of like laugh at the way

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:47.439
<v Speaker 1>we're the NFL and we all tried to go after hey,

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.279
<v Speaker 1>replacing this with this and be like, yeah, what were

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>we thinking taking all this stuff back then? We kind

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:54.279
<v Speaker 1>of know it now, yeah, you know intuitably we know

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that now, but we're definitely going to look back. One man,

0:36:57.200 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe it took this long for this stuff

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to kind of pass.

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Or it's the same thing as like we look at

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 2>we look at like thirty years ago or one hundred

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and doctors like there's a there's a bell

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Mead plantation down the road and they have like it's

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:12.120
<v Speaker 2>a really cool place to go check out. I went

0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:15.920
<v Speaker 2>and saw it's like a museum. And this woman had asthma. Well,

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 2>whenever the eighteen hundred or whatever that was around, the

0:37:18.719 --> 0:37:21.799
<v Speaker 2>prescribed her to smoke cigarettes and climb at high altitudes

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:24.239
<v Speaker 2>because the lung is sort of got because the lung

0:37:24.280 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 2>was viewed as a muscle and not like you know

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying.

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 3>So it's like and you look.

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 2>At it, you're like, what idiots? Yeah, but in one

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred years they look at us going, yo, what idiots. Well,

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 2>it's so like technology is moving so fast, which allows

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:39.239
<v Speaker 2>us modern medicine to also move equally as fast. So

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the doctors that go to school in the eighties and

0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 2>doctors their identity is one hundred percent what they know,

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.440
<v Speaker 2>you know. So so if you go if you have

0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:48.440
<v Speaker 2>a doctor that went to school, graduated in eighty two

0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:52.319
<v Speaker 2>and didn't do anything else, his shit's so outdated and

0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:53.879
<v Speaker 2>it's not fair. And if you say, well, a doctor

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:56.040
<v Speaker 2>told me to do this, doctors can be idiots too,

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:57.759
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, unless you stay on top

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.359
<v Speaker 2>of everything and go towards like hey, like we got

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to I had to learn and progress and grow, Like

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:05.280
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so easy to have a PhD.

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we deal with that a little bit in

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the training that I was just about to say that

0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the teams you're on the training rooms, you're kind of

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:15.400
<v Speaker 1>dated to what they know, and guys like yourself, like,

0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I've learned a lot from you over just being with

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you for a year, and yeah, and you just kind

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>of you kind of realize the education you try and

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.719
<v Speaker 1>get outside of the facility and the stuff you read

0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.480
<v Speaker 1>into or listen whether it's a podcast or any of

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that information out there and you start to learn and

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>question a few things or try to challenge not even

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.680
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily challenge it, or you realize your innocent self

0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>bringing it up in that environment and when they kind

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>of just like laugh at you or or you know,

0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>just frown upon it or belittle it, and you're just like, man,

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 1>what you know, I've read this is actually has some

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.439
<v Speaker 1>really beneficial stuff and a lot of these a lot

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of trainers or doctors anybody, they need

0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of data and research throughout time to kind

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.919
<v Speaker 1>of prove that instead of being like being Greenfield somebody

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.399
<v Speaker 1>who experiments on himselves all the time and can give

0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:05.279
<v Speaker 1>you data and some stuff to try out and go

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 1>after and you're kind of like, yo, I'm going to

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:09.080
<v Speaker 1>do this too. They're kind of like, nah, we're not

0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 1>there yet, or that doesn't make sense because of what

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I was taught back in you know, the nineties.

0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they it's funny. I think a few years ago

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 4>my nickname around the facility was doctor Morgan, and I

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 4>definitely see that it wasn't in a positive way like

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 4>it was the it was because you know, we talk

0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 4>about being in the training room, the outdated you know,

0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 4>methodologies and the approach to treating injuries. And you know,

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 4>if you're a rookie, fringe free agent type of.

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Guy, you don't necessarily have time to waste.

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:45.719
<v Speaker 4>You know, I sing your knee, you need something that

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 4>might has to expedite that train that that that healing.

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 3>And so you know, I do a lot of.

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:55.279
<v Speaker 4>Things that are unorthodox, that are necessarily outside of the

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.319
<v Speaker 4>the realm of expertise of these trainers. So, like you said,

0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:01.879
<v Speaker 4>they don't necessarily understand it. But I was telling guys like, look,

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:06.759
<v Speaker 4>every time you get injured, get a second opinion. Absolutely

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:10.560
<v Speaker 4>has down, get a second opinion. You can't rely on

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 4>somebody because it's a conflict of ventures. The way the

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:15.880
<v Speaker 4>training room is set up in the NFL, it's just

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:16.840
<v Speaker 4>a conflict of interest.

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Bro.

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Like I've seen guys, you know, get screwed over because

0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 4>of politics and just different you know, things that weren't

0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 4>necessarily related to the injury.

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 3>It was just like political stuff. It wasn't it was

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:31.560
<v Speaker 3>bad advice.

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:34.879
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm not naming names, but I just think

0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:37.359
<v Speaker 4>that the more innovative you can be when it comes

0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:40.920
<v Speaker 4>to your health, and the more flexible you can be,

0:40:40.920 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 4>because we all know, like the rate of information is

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 4>like doubling at like an exponential rate because there's so

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 4>much information out there. Yes, so like everything's constantly changing,

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:52.799
<v Speaker 4>and so if you're still relying on stuff from like

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:58.080
<v Speaker 4>nineteen eighty two or even two three years ago, you're outdated.

0:40:57.880 --> 0:41:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, you're not continuing that knowledge. You an education, bro.

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>But the play Devil's Advocate, like those guys, it's not

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:06.799
<v Speaker 1>that they want to. It's not that anybody tries to

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>necessarily mess you over. It's just that everyone kind of

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:14.280
<v Speaker 1>works under the what they the owners like their job

0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:16.520
<v Speaker 1>is to get the product on the field as fast

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:20.719
<v Speaker 1>as possible from what they know, and it's not and

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:22.920
<v Speaker 1>when the head coach or the owner anybody comes in

0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:25.319
<v Speaker 1>your office and they're checking on a player, like hey,

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:26.960
<v Speaker 1>where's so and so at, Like where are we at

0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 1>with him? And in their mind they're just going over

0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:31.240
<v Speaker 1>anything they've ever went with you, like, yeah, we should

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 1>probably have him ready in a week, knowing in his

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:35.319
<v Speaker 1>mind maybe it's two weeks, but they don't want to

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:37.160
<v Speaker 1>hear that right now. So I'm going to say a week,

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm going to go to that athlete and

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like, hey, you know, we need to

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 1>get a roll on how you feel and how that

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 1>they don't hear the right response, they can filter how

0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 1>they won you know, either hey, you know he they're

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 1>either battling for you or it's like, you know, he's

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 1>just not necessarily you know, he's not pushing the way

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:56.719
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to push. You can get painted different ways,

0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 1>they can pay it different ways. But they have a

0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 1>job to try to you know, they have to go

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:02.040
<v Speaker 1>home too.

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 3>It's a position for them to be in.

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.600
<v Speaker 4>It's not fair, right, And we talk about that at

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:09.799
<v Speaker 4>the PA is like, can you have you know, a

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 4>built in second opinion or and somebody who's not affiliated

0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:18.560
<v Speaker 4>with the team in essentially come in and administer rehab

0:42:18.600 --> 0:42:22.000
<v Speaker 4>and second opinions and advice because I get it, bro, Like,

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 4>I get there in a mess up position. You know

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:26.719
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying, at the end of the day, who

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:30.399
<v Speaker 4>really suffers though? It's the player, right, you know, we're

0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 4>at the you know, we're at the you know, discretion

0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:36.600
<v Speaker 4>of what they tell us. And if you're a young guy,

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.799
<v Speaker 4>you know you're gonna believe mostly of what everybody tells you.

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.200
<v Speaker 3>And so you know, it is what it is. I

0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 3>know We can't get too deep.

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 4>On that on here, but I definitely think that the

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 4>more guys can educate themselves and look at to like,

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, you're a vet bro, like, so you're setting

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:53.840
<v Speaker 4>an example for somebody coming into the to the league.

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.320
<v Speaker 4>So it's like if I come in and I'm a rookie,

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking at te la Wan Okay, I see he

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 4>has a routine. You know, he has an approch to

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:03.400
<v Speaker 4>how he maintains his health, and yes, he's a professional

0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:04.960
<v Speaker 4>about it. So I think the more that we can

0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:07.880
<v Speaker 4>model that and you can model that, the better and

0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 4>just kind of being that sound board for guys and

0:43:09.880 --> 0:43:12.600
<v Speaker 4>that voice of reason, because when you're coming in as

0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:14.560
<v Speaker 4>a rookie and you're not like a high draft pick.

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Bro, You're just you're kind of on your own, you're

0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:20.920
<v Speaker 2>going I've never I've never had an issue with like

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Todd Tursl. He's the head trainer of the Titans. He's

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.319
<v Speaker 2>always been so good to me, so good to me

0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:28.280
<v Speaker 2>in so many ways. And when we talk about education,

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 2>like the difficult thing about education, especially with modern medicine,

0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:35.719
<v Speaker 2>is that there's so much information out there, but it's

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 2>not just about this is the way. It's this is

0:43:37.640 --> 0:43:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the way, and there's another one saying no, that's the way,

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and then there's one that's more in the middle. There's

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:44.520
<v Speaker 2>so many different ways to process information and so many

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 2>different opinions that when you go and you get these things.

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:50.080
<v Speaker 2>If we're talking about an a cl all these things,

0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 2>there's positives and negatives to all that stuff. And it's

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 2>people's jobs as are who are in that position, whether

0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 2>you be a doctor or a trainer, a physical therapist,

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:03.319
<v Speaker 2>you it's your job to go and not only read

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.239
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that you agree with, but read the stuff

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't agree with as well. So you have an

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 2>opportunity for your own self to play devil's advocate and

0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.680
<v Speaker 2>keep you in check for the stuff that you know

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:15.560
<v Speaker 2>you might have felt, well that's ridiculous before. Well it's

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:17.319
<v Speaker 2>a classic term. Don't knock and seel. You try it,

0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You got it. You got to give those things a shot.

0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I like Ben Greenfield so much because he does do

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 2>those things. He'll he'll hack his sana to sort of

0:44:24.640 --> 0:44:26.960
<v Speaker 2>over two her degrees and he'll do yoga in it

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:29.319
<v Speaker 2>for ninety minutes, you know, and just to see what

0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that's like. He'll go through different recovery routines and check

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.279
<v Speaker 2>stuff out, but he puts on his body. But a

0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:37.160
<v Speaker 2>big thing people to know is need to know as well,

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 2>is not every human being the same. It's not like

0:44:39.000 --> 0:44:41.000
<v Speaker 2>we're all four trucks and manufacturing in the same place.

0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 2>My GenEx are different than nears are different the nears.

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Some things are gonna work better for me than they

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 2>are for you. Some guys love the static stretch, you know,

0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and then but there's things that says sag stretching shuts

0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:53.359
<v Speaker 2>out for CNS, which is your central nervous system. So

0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 2>but some guys, I've seen dudes in our locker room

0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:59.120
<v Speaker 2>go and be like literally static stretching before games turns,

0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:01.319
<v Speaker 2>before we go out. They say, like, it's an hour

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 2>and a half until it's right. But then I see

0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 2>those guys killing it. He don't, Yeah, you see, I

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.520
<v Speaker 2>see those guys killing it. So it's like it's tough.

0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:10.759
<v Speaker 2>But I will say, you're a lot. You're more than

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.120
<v Speaker 2>welcome to talk about whatever you want because like you

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:15.400
<v Speaker 2>should never there should never be there can always be

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.080
<v Speaker 2>pushback for having an opinion, but like as long as

0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:20.919
<v Speaker 2>it's productive, like what you're all the things you're saying

0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 2>is productive. I there's something you don't agree with, then

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 2>you should never feel bad. I. Yeah, I'm employed by

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:27.120
<v Speaker 2>the Titans. I think the Titans do an amazing job.

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:29.600
<v Speaker 2>They do a great job. You yourself, you're you can

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:31.479
<v Speaker 2>say whatever you want and I'm I will say whatever

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to, you know, because it's like, that's what

0:45:33.960 --> 0:45:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the whole point of having you know, your own production

0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:40.319
<v Speaker 2>of things right now, it's it's not hey, Derek Morgan

0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:42.400
<v Speaker 2>said this. Derek Morgan said that. It's like, oh, Derek

0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Morgan actually said this, right, these are his words. Right.

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:49.600
<v Speaker 1>You know what I enjoyed with Todd is and you

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you probably you probably I would assume you probably had

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:54.759
<v Speaker 1>the same relationship with them. But like when Todd he

0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>would know that I read or like do a lot

0:45:57.520 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 1>of stuff to where I'm legitimately asking questions or if

<v Speaker 4>he has the gap, but it's like his personality.

0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 2>He fixed his gap. He fixed it, and then he

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:55.040
<v Speaker 2>decided he's like this ain't me and he actually went

0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 2>back and reap and fixed it.

0:47:57.320 --> 0:48:00.640
<v Speaker 1>He recapped, he recat I told when I was going,

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:02.760
<v Speaker 1>when they were about to do everything, I was like, hey, guys,

0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:06.880

<v Speaker 1>Well, when they put him in that you kind of bite,

0:48:14.120 --> 0:48:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and he shaved stuff perfectly anyway.

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:18.520

<v Speaker 4>into it. Never heard anything from m Damn. And it

0:50:05.640 --> 0:50:09.359
<v Speaker 4>was like they had set my expectations so high of

0:50:09.360 --> 0:50:12.880
<v Speaker 4>what an agency was supposed to deliver, and they just

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:16.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, bro, I got nothing, and it was almost like, yeah.

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:19.080

<v Speaker 4>So like a trickle down, like they had the headliners,

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.719
<v Speaker 4>like the guys that just mentioned the Peyton Manning's at

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.239
<v Speaker 4>the time. Lebron was with them, like everybody you could

0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:37.640
<v Speaker 4>think of they have, and so it's like it's almost

0:50:37.640 --> 0:50:39.719
<v Speaker 4>like when something comes to them, those.

0:50:39.480 --> 0:50:42.600

0:53:20.239 --> 0:53:21.160
<v Speaker 1>me an agency now too.

0:53:21.480 --> 0:53:22.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean they could if they wanted to.

0:53:22.800 --> 0:53:27.279
<v Speaker 4>But so anyway, I got connected to Vander Sports from

0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:29.239
<v Speaker 4>one of my friends in college and they was like, hey,

0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:31.400
<v Speaker 4>have you heard of Gary Vaynerchuk And I was like who?

0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:33.399
<v Speaker 3>And so I started googling.

0:53:33.080 --> 0:53:37.239
<v Speaker 4>Them and you know, taking them in doses and yeah,

0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:38.839
<v Speaker 4>she just borked into the bike.

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:42.680
<v Speaker 2>That's all right, can't smell it from here. All right, Well,

0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:43.600
<v Speaker 2>now you're getting us sick.

0:53:44.520 --> 0:53:46.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't, look, it's just the alismologies.

0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:50.560
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, I got in touch with Vandersports, and I

0:53:50.640 --> 0:53:54.719
<v Speaker 4>mean bro like their business, rollerdecks and their network insane.

0:53:54.840 --> 0:53:59.920
<v Speaker 4>They weren't approaching the sports agent you know, industry from

0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 4>same perspective as everybody else, right, they were approaching representing

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:06.880
<v Speaker 4>athletes from more of a business mindset. And it's like, hey, look,

0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:09.680
<v Speaker 4>we have this whole rolodex of companies that we work with.

0:54:10.280 --> 0:54:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's leverage that.

0:54:11.560 --> 0:54:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Not everybody's going to be a Gatorade ad or a

0:54:14.000 --> 0:54:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Pepsi ad, you know, those huge ads.

0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:17.400
<v Speaker 3>But we do have.

0:54:17.280 --> 0:54:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Something like an accounting service who likes the service, entrepreneurs

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:24.160
<v Speaker 4>that want to be affiliated with an NFL guy. Oh

0:54:24.239 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 4>and by the way, they'll pay you fifty racks.

0:54:26.840 --> 0:54:28.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, okay, well that makes sense to me.

0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I like what they're doing, where do I sign exactly?

0:54:32.120 --> 0:54:34.960
<v Speaker 4>So I think what they did and I think what

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:37.560
<v Speaker 4>they're doing is they're evolving and they're kind of challenging

0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:40.200
<v Speaker 4>the status quo of what an agent looks like instead

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:43.040
<v Speaker 4>of you know, getting collecting a check and kind of

0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:44.680
<v Speaker 4>seeing your next contract.

0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:45.000
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:54:45.239 --> 0:54:48.520
<v Speaker 4>I went to Vanger and They had no incentive from

0:54:48.560 --> 0:54:50.800
<v Speaker 4>my contract because I was still with my old agent,

0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:53.160
<v Speaker 4>so they were just basically getting paid on what they

0:54:53.239 --> 0:54:55.640
<v Speaker 4>brought to the table. And you know, through the last

0:54:55.640 --> 0:54:57.960
<v Speaker 4>two years, I've been able to kind of reach out

0:54:58.000 --> 0:54:59.560
<v Speaker 4>to them, but hey, do you have a connection with

0:54:59.640 --> 0:55:03.279
<v Speaker 4>this guy? And AJ be like hey one second, and

0:55:03.360 --> 0:55:05.719
<v Speaker 4>literally within you know, twenty four hours, he would have

0:55:05.840 --> 0:55:09.080
<v Speaker 4>me connected to that person. So their network were so

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:11.440
<v Speaker 4>strong that I was able to tap into that and

0:55:11.520 --> 0:55:13.520
<v Speaker 4>leverage it to say, hey, look this is what this

0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:15.480
<v Speaker 4>is the things that I'm focused on. Can you help

0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:17.880
<v Speaker 4>me get in contact with this person or set up

0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:18.800
<v Speaker 4>a meeting or a call.

0:55:19.080 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 3>And they were able to do that.

0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:22.319
<v Speaker 4>And on the marketing side, I mean they just looked

0:55:22.320 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 4>into their role indecks of companies and to say, hey,

0:55:24.680 --> 0:55:26.359
<v Speaker 4>look we have this company here, they want to work

0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:28.960
<v Speaker 4>with you, They're willing to pay or get you an

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:31.480
<v Speaker 4>equity deal and whatnot. And so that's the other thing

0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:33.440
<v Speaker 4>that we started to look at is how can we

0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:36.280
<v Speaker 4>get equity out of companies instead of just getting compensation.

0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:39.440
<v Speaker 4>So like the Beyond Meat deal that me and my

0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:42.040
<v Speaker 4>wife are part of, like we were brand ambassadors, but

0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:43.799
<v Speaker 4>we didn't take any money up front. We just took

0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 4>equity and so you know, I got to thank my

0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:48.439
<v Speaker 4>wife for negotiating that deal.

0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:51.080
<v Speaker 3>But it's almost like having the long term in mind

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:53.279
<v Speaker 3>where you don't have to take the quick cash, right.

0:55:53.400 --> 0:55:56.320
<v Speaker 4>And it's like I could have took fifty thousand dollars

0:55:56.400 --> 0:55:59.640
<v Speaker 4>from Beyond Meat, but I took thirty thousand dollars worth

0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:01.600
<v Speaker 4>of equal And I mean.

0:56:01.480 --> 0:56:03.160
<v Speaker 3>You see what Beyond Me is doing right now.

0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:05.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So it's like having that mindset and that that

0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:07.120
<v Speaker 4>approach to kind of say.

0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Look, let's not let's think more long term on things.

0:56:10.200 --> 0:56:12.439
<v Speaker 4>And vain Or Sports has really done a great job

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:15.040
<v Speaker 4>of helping me approach the business, you know, side of

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:17.040
<v Speaker 4>things from that from that vantage.

0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Point, and athletes are becoming more aware of theirselves as

0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:21.399
<v Speaker 1>a business more than just.

0:56:21.320 --> 0:56:22.160
<v Speaker 2>A football player.

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Like guys that in our circles all the time are

0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:29.200
<v Speaker 1>getting into different endeavors for different things all the time,

0:56:29.239 --> 0:56:33.520
<v Speaker 1>like you yourself, Taylor Is. I try to but it's

0:56:33.560 --> 0:56:35.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty dope, man, talk about talk about your wife and

0:56:35.960 --> 0:56:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole, the whole beyond not even beyond me, but

0:56:38.880 --> 0:56:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the whole vegan stuff. I'm a big carnivore. Talk about that. Man,

0:56:43.760 --> 0:56:45.359
<v Speaker 1>you talk about how big, how much of a stud

0:56:45.400 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>your wife has has been in this whole process.

0:56:47.560 --> 0:56:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Have you have you have you guys ever tasted my

0:56:49.719 --> 0:56:50.279
<v Speaker 3>wife's food?

0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've tasted something like when guys sometimes you guys

0:56:53.719 --> 0:56:54.279
<v Speaker 1>tell me about her.

0:56:54.920 --> 0:56:56.080
<v Speaker 2>She made Thekwan's food.

0:56:56.200 --> 0:56:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, said okay, Google, so you kind of see

0:56:59.640 --> 0:57:02.360
<v Speaker 4>how she cooks, right, So the types of food that

0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:05.520
<v Speaker 4>she cooks doesn't make you want to feel like you're compromising.

0:57:05.640 --> 0:57:07.440
<v Speaker 4>Right when I think vegan, I was like, man, I

0:57:07.440 --> 0:57:09.840
<v Speaker 4>gotta eat none but vegetables. Like we literally tried to

0:57:09.840 --> 0:57:13.840
<v Speaker 4>go vegan in twenty fifteen and my wife went to

0:57:13.880 --> 0:57:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Whole Foods and she bought a whole bunch of vegetables

0:57:17.080 --> 0:57:18.640
<v Speaker 4>and we just came home and dumped it on the

0:57:18.640 --> 0:57:20.400
<v Speaker 4>counter and were like, what the hell do.

0:57:20.440 --> 0:57:20.920
<v Speaker 3>We do with this?

0:57:21.240 --> 0:57:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:57:21.680 --> 0:57:25.640
<v Speaker 4>And we lasted like seven days and we failed, and

0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:29.480
<v Speaker 4>we you know this. Back around twenty seventeen, I was

0:57:29.480 --> 0:57:32.280
<v Speaker 4>looking for different ways to enhance my recovery because I

0:57:32.360 --> 0:57:35.520
<v Speaker 4>kept hearing that it cut down inflammation. And I was

0:57:35.560 --> 0:57:38.080
<v Speaker 4>consulting with this nutrition that she kept sending me research

0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:41.320
<v Speaker 4>and research, and I kept looking it up and I'm like, shoot,

0:57:41.600 --> 0:57:43.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna try this off season. It's like March at

0:57:43.720 --> 0:57:47.400
<v Speaker 4>this time, let's try it. So I slowly started to

0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:50.760
<v Speaker 4>cut out red meat, I cut out poultry, eggs, and

0:57:50.800 --> 0:57:53.160
<v Speaker 4>then the last thing to go was dairy. And so

0:57:53.520 --> 0:57:55.960
<v Speaker 4>what I realized was what I started to notice was

0:57:56.640 --> 0:57:59.640
<v Speaker 4>every time I ate something that didn't have animal products

0:57:59.680 --> 0:58:02.680
<v Speaker 4>in it, I felt like I was I didn't have

0:58:02.680 --> 0:58:04.480
<v Speaker 4>that slump you know, when you eat something you kind

0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:06.520
<v Speaker 4>of your body kind of takes a little bit to

0:58:06.560 --> 0:58:10.360
<v Speaker 4>get back going, because that's your body breaking down whatever

0:58:10.400 --> 0:58:13.560
<v Speaker 4>you put into your stomach. So it's creating, it's using

0:58:13.600 --> 0:58:14.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of energy to.

0:58:14.800 --> 0:58:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Break down whatever you eat.

0:58:16.360 --> 0:58:18.600
<v Speaker 4>So when you eat more of a plant based diet,

0:58:19.160 --> 0:58:23.040
<v Speaker 4>it's easier on your system to process that and digest it,

0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:25.960
<v Speaker 4>so you can use those that energy for other systems

0:58:26.000 --> 0:58:26.600
<v Speaker 4>in your body.

0:58:26.920 --> 0:58:29.480
<v Speaker 3>And so for me, that was another thing I looked at.

0:58:29.520 --> 0:58:32.080
<v Speaker 4>I have hereditary high blood pressure, and so I was

0:58:32.080 --> 0:58:34.800
<v Speaker 4>twenty one years old with high blood pressure as a

0:58:34.800 --> 0:58:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Division one athlete, Like that didn't make sense to me.

0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:39.640
<v Speaker 3>And so when I got my blood panels back, that

0:58:39.880 --> 0:58:43.000
<v Speaker 3>was back the perfect you know, the levels were amazing, So.

0:58:42.960 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 4>That dropped my sea reactive protein, which is your inflammation drop,

0:58:47.160 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 4>and then just my overall energy.

0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Bro, Like, I felt great. Like the first year I

0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:51.400
<v Speaker 3>went through.

0:58:51.400 --> 0:58:54.400
<v Speaker 4>It was twenty seventeen and we're in training camp and

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:57.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, like day nine ten training camp, you start

0:58:57.120 --> 0:59:00.760
<v Speaker 4>to get grind, feel everything. And I was still waking

0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:03.560
<v Speaker 4>up like I'm straight, like I'm a little sore, but

0:59:03.640 --> 0:59:05.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm good, you know what I mean. This is like

0:59:05.560 --> 0:59:09.920
<v Speaker 4>year seven at the time, and I was feeling really good.

0:59:09.960 --> 0:59:12.880
<v Speaker 4>I was scared because the whole, the whole myth is

0:59:12.880 --> 0:59:15.040
<v Speaker 4>what the protein, right, the protein protein protein?

0:59:15.560 --> 0:59:17.960
<v Speaker 3>How can you you know, how's that gonna affect you?

0:59:18.400 --> 0:59:21.360
<v Speaker 4>And so when I came back to training camp, I

0:59:21.400 --> 0:59:25.000
<v Speaker 4>still felt strong, I still felt good, and my weight

0:59:25.120 --> 0:59:27.439
<v Speaker 4>was still pretty sustainable. I was like two sixty two,

0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:30.560
<v Speaker 4>but my body fat a drop, you know, my body

0:59:30.640 --> 0:59:31.480
<v Speaker 4>just kind of leaned out.

0:59:31.520 --> 0:59:33.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm a big believer in it.

0:59:33.160 --> 0:59:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Bro.

0:59:33.880 --> 0:59:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I tell people, look, if you can do maybe like

0:59:36.280 --> 0:59:39.080
<v Speaker 4>one meal a day that's that doesn't have meat, then

0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:41.880
<v Speaker 4>you're you're on the right track. We don't look at

0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:45.720
<v Speaker 4>it from like a judgemental standpoint, because we get judged, bro,

0:59:45.840 --> 0:59:49.160
<v Speaker 4>Like vegans would judge us for wearing leather shoes.

0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:51.280
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, dude, like I'm not on that now,

0:59:51.440 --> 0:59:51.960
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean.

0:59:52.000 --> 0:59:54.360
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it'll get kind of crazy. That shit will

0:59:54.360 --> 0:59:55.479
<v Speaker 2>get kind of out of hand.

0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Dude.

0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Like if you're like, first off, what other people do

0:59:58.440 --> 1:00:02.160
<v Speaker 2>is none of your business, right number one, So fuck

1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:05.800
<v Speaker 2>off you. I just hate it when people are like

1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing this, so everybody should do this. It's like, listen, like,

1:00:08.880 --> 1:00:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a vegan. Do I think there's a place

1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>for this world. Absolutely? If someone's a vegan and I'm not,

1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:15.320
<v Speaker 2>does it piss me off? Absolutely?

1:00:15.360 --> 1:00:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Not right?

1:00:16.080 --> 1:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, but I think, like, you know, I think

1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:21.400
<v Speaker 2>people are trying to find these crazy like health like

1:00:22.080 --> 1:00:24.200
<v Speaker 2>go in and I'm gonna be vegan now, but they

1:00:24.240 --> 1:00:26.080
<v Speaker 2>don't understand that what that means. You can be vegan

1:00:26.120 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and be unhealthy. You know what I'm saying. You can.

1:00:28.400 --> 1:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>You can be vegan being healthy. And it's like sometimes

1:00:31.280 --> 1:00:35.120
<v Speaker 2>case starting don't put don't eat process me like grass fed,

1:00:35.440 --> 1:00:37.560
<v Speaker 2>take care, take care of your body, Yeah, take your

1:00:37.640 --> 1:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>body in the right way is like, don't things things

1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:43.040
<v Speaker 2>that are natural? Look at the nutrition nutrition facts in

1:00:43.080 --> 1:00:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the back of the thing. And if there's words you

1:00:44.720 --> 1:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>can't pronounce probably not, you know what I'm saying, like

1:00:47.600 --> 1:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>and that that's a great way to start. You'll start

1:00:49.840 --> 1:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to feel the energy. It need a lot of green

1:00:51.600 --> 1:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>screens that you can that can help you have those fats.

1:00:54.320 --> 1:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>People are so scared of the word fats. They don't

1:00:56.040 --> 1:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>want to be fat. When fats help exactly, Fat's helpier.

1:00:59.040 --> 1:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Like if you like, if you people want to do

1:01:00.520 --> 1:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>a Kido diet, those types of things. Dairy, Yeah, I

1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>cut out dairy and it feels amazing. Right Cheese Now,

1:01:07.680 --> 1:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>if you look at cheese when it's melted, like that's

1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>in your body, that's gonna you're gonna feel sluggish. But

1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:15.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's if people are going to do vegan, Like

1:01:15.080 --> 1:01:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I've seen people that have gone vegan and they look amazing.

1:01:18.080 --> 1:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>It looks so healthy, they look great, their you know,

1:01:21.280 --> 1:01:23.160
<v Speaker 2>their body mass is still there and they have their

1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>high functioning. I've seen other people go vegan and maybe

1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>they're doing something different or whatever, but they don't look great.

1:01:28.680 --> 1:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>They almost look sickly at times. And so it's important.

1:01:31.400 --> 1:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Just like people want to quick fix for everything that's

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen. Everyone wants to look at it and see

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>an article and be like that's it. That's what I'm

1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>going to do. In reality. It's like you have to

1:01:39.200 --> 1:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>educate yourself on some stuff. You're in a documentary coming out,

1:01:42.040 --> 1:01:47.880
<v Speaker 2>So sorry, yeah, it's all right, loops of daisies, you

1:01:47.960 --> 1:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>have just a bit over rant, but okay, anyway, long

1:01:50.680 --> 1:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>story show, Like there's a lot of things you need

1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to be afraid of, like not afraid of. There's a

1:01:54.640 --> 1:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of things you need to not fear because of

1:01:57.400 --> 1:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>fear propaganda like that. What's that documentary that came out

1:02:01.320 --> 1:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>with the with the What the Health? What the Health?

1:02:04.560 --> 1:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Like a lot of that I I I've I haven't

1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>seen that, but I've seen a doctor's reaction to it

1:02:10.320 --> 1:02:11.920
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. And there's a lot of things in there

1:02:11.960 --> 1:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>are good. Like there's when you're talking about animal agriculture,

1:02:15.200 --> 1:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Like that's scary enough as it is that that is

1:02:17.000 --> 1:02:19.440
<v Speaker 2>bad for the environment. You don't have to fluff it

1:02:19.480 --> 1:02:22.320
<v Speaker 2>up or make it worse to cause like a fear propaganda.

1:02:22.720 --> 1:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Like there are things, like we've talked about on this podcast,

1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you can do a lot to help this world right

1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>now taking care of animals and doing it the right

1:02:29.400 --> 1:02:31.200
<v Speaker 2>way and using every bit of the animal Like those

1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>are good ways for people that want to eat me.

1:02:34.080 --> 1:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's like it's all about making choices and

1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:38.920
<v Speaker 2>doing your and doing your you know, your homework, take

1:02:38.920 --> 1:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>your get your blood done, see what you're deficient in

1:02:41.640 --> 1:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and work on those things, and it's you're going to

1:02:43.480 --> 1:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>feel better. But it's not just a flip of the

1:02:45.680 --> 1:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>switch and it's over.

1:02:46.480 --> 1:02:47.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a process.

1:02:47.440 --> 1:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're part of a documentary coming out, aren't you.

1:02:50.600 --> 1:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1:02:50.880 --> 1:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw you, I saw you boost. That's what's it

1:02:52.880 --> 1:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>called called Game Changers? Is it going to change the game?

1:02:55.440 --> 1:02:56.080
<v Speaker 3>I think you will.

1:02:56.200 --> 1:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Really.

1:02:56.520 --> 1:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:02:56.720 --> 1:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger is in it, so I kind

1:02:58.520 --> 1:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of piqued my attention.

1:02:59.480 --> 1:02:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Damn.

1:03:00.160 --> 1:03:04.360
<v Speaker 4>It's just about plant based athletes, right, you know, it's

1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:09.360
<v Speaker 4>everybody from weightlifters to people who run track, football players,

1:03:09.880 --> 1:03:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Lewis Hamilton, the race car driver. Yeah, I think was

1:03:14.840 --> 1:03:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Venus Williamson or Serena Williams. I think she may be

1:03:17.040 --> 1:03:17.440
<v Speaker 4>a part of it.

1:03:17.440 --> 1:03:20.960
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, when's that dropping September? Yeah, it's pretty dope,

1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:25.480
<v Speaker 3>you know. James Cameron, Yeah, Titanic Okay.

1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly a producer on it, and so yeah, it

1:03:28.320 --> 1:03:29.000
<v Speaker 4>seems to be a game here.

1:03:29.080 --> 1:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Just let me get on this. Yeah, I'm the plant

1:03:30.840 --> 1:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>based right now. Yeah, change back everything I just said.

1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to do that thing. James CAMRA's doing it. Yeah,

1:03:38.080 --> 1:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I lovely. Let's do this thing.

1:03:39.480 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Fact for people curious about this being vegan or vegan

1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>diet and kind of the way you go about nutrition,

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the nutrients that you don't necessarily get in a vegan diet,

1:03:51.520 --> 1:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to know how you get this stuff in

1:03:54.280 --> 1:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>your body, whether it be vitamin B. You've heard all

1:03:57.400 --> 1:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff, Vitamin B, vitamin B twelve, vitamin

1:04:00.840 --> 1:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the iodine, iron, calcium, and zinc.

1:04:03.080 --> 1:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Like, how do you do you supplement that? Yeah? You

1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:06.040
<v Speaker 2>supplement that stuff.

1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:08.640
<v Speaker 4>And I think that if you take a you know,

1:04:09.240 --> 1:04:11.480
<v Speaker 4>a big enough sample from the general population, I think

1:04:11.520 --> 1:04:14.520
<v Speaker 4>we're all deficient in those Yeah, because if you look

1:04:14.520 --> 1:04:17.080
<v Speaker 4>at it out of mean B twelve we used to

1:04:17.120 --> 1:04:20.120
<v Speaker 4>get that from the soil, right, but now the soil

1:04:20.200 --> 1:04:24.400
<v Speaker 4>has been so overly farmed and it's so nutrient depleted

1:04:24.840 --> 1:04:26.640
<v Speaker 4>that we don't even get B twelve from the soil.

1:04:26.680 --> 1:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>No more so, I think that we would all.

1:04:28.360 --> 1:04:30.600
<v Speaker 4>Be deficient in B twelve if we did, you know,

1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:33.439
<v Speaker 4>blood panels and on a regular diet. So I think

1:04:33.480 --> 1:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>that you know, understanding what could be the deficiencies with

1:04:36.400 --> 1:04:39.400
<v Speaker 4>the vegan diet and supplementing. I mean there might be

1:04:39.480 --> 1:04:42.880
<v Speaker 4>days where you know, I don't have all my macros

1:04:43.040 --> 1:04:45.280
<v Speaker 4>in a in a meal, correct, And I'll just drink

1:04:45.320 --> 1:04:49.560
<v Speaker 4>a protein shake bro like forty grands of protein P protein, and.

1:04:49.520 --> 1:04:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll get my amino acid profile.

1:04:51.440 --> 1:04:54.600
<v Speaker 4>And so it's just I think people kind of get

1:04:54.600 --> 1:04:56.280
<v Speaker 4>overworked up about the protein thing.

1:04:56.320 --> 1:04:57.920
<v Speaker 3>It's like, dude, like, all I got to do is

1:04:58.440 --> 1:04:59.680
<v Speaker 3>drink a shake. I'm cool.

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:03.120
<v Speaker 4>I got my full acid profile and my full protein

1:05:03.160 --> 1:05:03.960
<v Speaker 4>needs for the day.

1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:07.880
<v Speaker 3>And I'm straight, yeah, you know, but supplementation.

1:05:07.840 --> 1:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>What's uh what your guys is you're in your wife's

1:05:10.360 --> 1:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>business called company called.

1:05:12.040 --> 1:05:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Shoot my wife is she got her own business.

1:05:15.800 --> 1:05:17.800
<v Speaker 4>She's like, hey, you know, I know we did that

1:05:17.800 --> 1:05:20.360
<v Speaker 4>that uh that appearance together, but I need my half.

1:05:20.840 --> 1:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she start plugging that.

1:05:25.400 --> 1:05:29.000
<v Speaker 4>So her I mean it's chef Charity Morgan. That's you know,

1:05:29.040 --> 1:05:32.400
<v Speaker 4>that's her brands, her personality, and then you know she's

1:05:32.400 --> 1:05:35.880
<v Speaker 4>her businesses is a plant life chef and so she

1:05:36.000 --> 1:05:38.960
<v Speaker 4>does I call her a transitional chef.

1:05:39.400 --> 1:05:41.960
<v Speaker 3>So if you're on the fence, and you're thinking about

1:05:42.000 --> 1:05:44.080
<v Speaker 3>going plant based and you want to try things.

1:05:44.640 --> 1:05:46.600
<v Speaker 4>She's that person that can make you a mac and

1:05:46.680 --> 1:05:48.680
<v Speaker 4>cheese or like a shrimp pole boy.

1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Familiar with like exactly, so you don't have to go

1:05:52.400 --> 1:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>and eat a quinoa bowl, like what's that?

1:05:54.600 --> 1:05:57.360
<v Speaker 4>Like I used to call it canoa, like like people

1:05:57.360 --> 1:05:59.880
<v Speaker 4>don't even know a print stuff. So I think that,

1:06:00.120 --> 1:06:02.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, that's what she's really amazing at. And she

1:06:02.760 --> 1:06:05.040
<v Speaker 4>does a great job. It's a reason fifteen twenty guys

1:06:05.040 --> 1:06:07.240
<v Speaker 4>are on our meal plan. Yeah, it's just that you

1:06:07.280 --> 1:06:09.560
<v Speaker 4>don't have to compromise and the taste and it's hardy,

1:06:10.080 --> 1:06:11.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's hardy meal. So I think she's doing

1:06:11.880 --> 1:06:14.800
<v Speaker 4>a good job of kind of creating a brand for herself.

1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:17.880
<v Speaker 4>She's in talks with some some networks to do a show.

1:06:18.360 --> 1:06:21.760
<v Speaker 4>It's the reason I'm retiring, because you know she's retired sugarmoth.

1:06:22.040 --> 1:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you got a sugar momba now.

1:06:23.600 --> 1:06:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but no, she's she's doing really good on that.

1:06:25.680 --> 1:06:29.880
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we just we're trying to collaborate and enhance.

1:06:29.600 --> 1:06:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Each other's efforts whenever we at at the time. But

1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, she's doing her thing. I'm doing my thing,

1:06:33.920 --> 1:06:34.479
<v Speaker 3>and then we come.

1:06:34.400 --> 1:06:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Together on Yeah, what's her what's the website chef.

<v Speaker 4>Charity Morgan dot com And you can find her on

1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Twitter and Instagram chef Charity Morgan.

1:06:42.880 --> 1:06:43.840
<v Speaker 2>So we need it right there.

1:06:44.040 --> 1:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, your philanthropy work, Yeah, talk about talk about the

1:06:47.840 --> 1:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>things that you're involved in.

1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:55.800
<v Speaker 4>The philanthropy has been an evolution over the years and

1:06:56.520 --> 1:06:59.160
<v Speaker 4>really bro like it's like the phonemo. It's kind of

1:06:59.160 --> 1:07:01.640
<v Speaker 4>a form of a phono of like not wanting to

1:07:02.120 --> 1:07:04.160
<v Speaker 4>look up ten years from now, but like, damn, I

1:07:04.160 --> 1:07:06.240
<v Speaker 4>should have did this while I had the platform, Like

1:07:06.280 --> 1:07:08.480
<v Speaker 4>I should have I should have made this relationship or

1:07:08.520 --> 1:07:10.880
<v Speaker 4>I should have did this because the one thing I

1:07:10.920 --> 1:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>started to adopt is is there's a fear of kind

1:07:15.520 --> 1:07:18.680
<v Speaker 4>of doing stuff and taking a risk. But I think

1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:22.400
<v Speaker 4>the feeling and the regret from not taking risks it's

1:07:22.440 --> 1:07:25.440
<v Speaker 4>something that I want to avoid more so than not

1:07:25.600 --> 1:07:29.280
<v Speaker 4>because I'm okay with taking a risk and trying and

1:07:29.320 --> 1:07:32.200
<v Speaker 4>failing at something, even if you know I fail, at

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:34.959
<v Speaker 4>least I tried, you know what I mean. So through

1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:38.320
<v Speaker 4>that I've been looking at just different ways to always

1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:40.960
<v Speaker 4>give back, and you know, being that we've gotten to

1:07:41.000 --> 1:07:43.640
<v Speaker 4>this certain level, people look at us as an example,

1:07:43.960 --> 1:07:46.200
<v Speaker 4>and so you want to do the right things, and

1:07:46.240 --> 1:07:49.160
<v Speaker 4>you want to help people, and you want to do

1:07:49.480 --> 1:07:54.920
<v Speaker 4>everything you can. And I've always been like I overanalyze things.

1:07:54.920 --> 1:07:58.080
<v Speaker 4>It's like, man, I did this football camp, but this

1:07:58.200 --> 1:08:01.200
<v Speaker 4>kid's still going back to the same environ I didn't

1:08:01.240 --> 1:08:04.120
<v Speaker 4>really equip him with tools, Like he probably won't make

1:08:04.160 --> 1:08:07.000
<v Speaker 4>the NFL. So what did I do to really help

1:08:07.040 --> 1:08:09.360
<v Speaker 4>this kid other than meeting a professional athletes.

1:08:09.200 --> 1:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>As him just playing football for a day?

1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like what And not to say that those are

1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:15.720
<v Speaker 4>bad things, like those are still good things, like he'll

1:08:15.720 --> 1:08:18.559
<v Speaker 4>probably remember that the rest of his life, but in

1:08:18.680 --> 1:08:23.720
<v Speaker 4>terms of being more sustainable and really giving people tangible resources.

1:08:24.040 --> 1:08:25.400
<v Speaker 3>And so I've always looked at that.

1:08:25.520 --> 1:08:28.559
<v Speaker 4>And as I started to look at my money and

1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:31.840
<v Speaker 4>what my money was doing, it wasn't always.

1:08:31.479 --> 1:08:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Matched up with the philanthropy.

1:08:33.320 --> 1:08:35.560
<v Speaker 4>It's like I'm doing the football camps, the back to

1:08:35.560 --> 1:08:39.000
<v Speaker 4>school drives, the Turkey giveaways, but my money's invested in

1:08:39.120 --> 1:08:41.400
<v Speaker 4>over here in the stock market, and I don't know

1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:45.000
<v Speaker 4>what that's doing, right. So I started to look into things.

1:08:45.320 --> 1:08:47.800
<v Speaker 4>I watched this documentary called The Thirteenth Have you guys

1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:51.760
<v Speaker 4>seen that on Netflix. It's on Netflix out It's called thirteenth.

1:08:51.880 --> 1:08:55.439
<v Speaker 4>You know, the thirteenth Amendment is what abolished slavery, but

1:08:55.479 --> 1:08:58.960
<v Speaker 4>there was this caveat in that in that bill where

1:08:58.960 --> 1:09:02.000
<v Speaker 4>it basically said that you could still enslave people for

1:09:02.120 --> 1:09:03.040
<v Speaker 4>criminal charges.

1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Is this what you called me about that one time

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>when you were calling about exactly prisons?

1:09:10.400 --> 1:09:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what that What that thirteenth Amendment did was saying that,

1:09:14.800 --> 1:09:17.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, if if you committed a crime, no matter

1:09:17.400 --> 1:09:20.120
<v Speaker 4>how petty it was, I could lock you up. So

1:09:20.320 --> 1:09:23.840
<v Speaker 4>right after slavery was abolished, all these black people were

1:09:23.840 --> 1:09:27.400
<v Speaker 4>getting locked up for petty offenses loitering, you know, smoking,

1:09:27.479 --> 1:09:30.439
<v Speaker 4>like just just different little petty offenses, and I would

1:09:30.439 --> 1:09:32.639
<v Speaker 4>lock you up and I would get free labor.

1:09:33.479 --> 1:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>So it was essentially slavery at the end of the day.

1:09:36.800 --> 1:09:39.960
<v Speaker 4>It was just that I criminalized you, and I made

1:09:40.000 --> 1:09:42.240
<v Speaker 4>you a criminal, and I was able to extract free

1:09:42.280 --> 1:09:43.000
<v Speaker 4>labor out of you.

1:09:43.479 --> 1:09:45.479
<v Speaker 3>And so what you see now with the private prison

1:09:45.520 --> 1:09:47.280
<v Speaker 3>industry is it's the same thing.

1:09:47.760 --> 1:09:50.679
<v Speaker 4>You know, we have the we have the world's largest

1:09:50.800 --> 1:09:56.439
<v Speaker 4>we have the world's largest prison population, and the ratio

1:09:56.720 --> 1:09:59.040
<v Speaker 4>and how that adds up stacks up to the rest

1:09:59.080 --> 1:09:59.920
<v Speaker 4>of the world's population.

1:10:00.080 --> 1:10:01.439
<v Speaker 3>It's completely out of balance.

1:10:01.800 --> 1:10:05.040
<v Speaker 4>And so when you look at the statistics around the

1:10:05.080 --> 1:10:07.920
<v Speaker 4>people that are in prison and for petty offenses and

1:10:07.920 --> 1:10:10.280
<v Speaker 4>all those things, it's a reason.

1:10:10.040 --> 1:10:10.799
<v Speaker 3>Why that happens.

1:10:11.200 --> 1:10:15.439
<v Speaker 4>When we talk about private prisons, they're incentivized to keep

1:10:15.479 --> 1:10:18.800
<v Speaker 4>people locked up. So if you come to me and

1:10:19.080 --> 1:10:20.799
<v Speaker 4>I'm a judge and I have some type of affiliation

1:10:20.880 --> 1:10:22.880
<v Speaker 4>with a private prison group like a geo group or

1:10:22.920 --> 1:10:25.680
<v Speaker 4>cour Civic that may be on I might might be

1:10:25.720 --> 1:10:26.400
<v Speaker 4>on their payroll.

1:10:26.640 --> 1:10:27.960
<v Speaker 3>So if you come to me and you're a kid

1:10:28.040 --> 1:10:28.720
<v Speaker 3>and you kind of you.

1:10:28.720 --> 1:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Know, as a judge, as the judge, I'll.

1:10:31.080 --> 1:10:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Be more incentivized to lock you up because I know

1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:36.880
<v Speaker 4>that those cour Civic and those geo groups, they have

1:10:36.920 --> 1:10:40.120
<v Speaker 4>a certain quota to make. So if they're not, if

1:10:40.120 --> 1:10:42.920
<v Speaker 4>they're not imprisoning people at a certain rate, they're losing money.

1:10:43.280 --> 1:10:45.840
<v Speaker 3>So they're incentivized to lock people up for petty things.

1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:48.400
<v Speaker 4>And so what I didn't know when I found out

1:10:48.479 --> 1:10:51.000
<v Speaker 4>was that these companies are public companies that are traded

1:10:51.040 --> 1:10:51.880
<v Speaker 4>on the stock market.

1:10:52.479 --> 1:10:53.519
<v Speaker 3>And if you're part of a.

1:10:54.200 --> 1:10:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Fund, the ETF and whatnot, you could unknowingly be invested

1:10:57.920 --> 1:11:00.280
<v Speaker 4>in these companies and so what I started the wake

1:11:00.360 --> 1:11:03.719
<v Speaker 4>up was like, dang, like, let me call my financial advisor. Hey,

1:11:03.760 --> 1:11:06.479
<v Speaker 4>am I am I in these companies? Now you're not okay?

1:11:06.479 --> 1:11:08.880
<v Speaker 4>But what is my money doing? And so I started

1:11:08.880 --> 1:11:11.759
<v Speaker 4>to kind of reallocate my private capital that was invested

1:11:12.080 --> 1:11:17.400
<v Speaker 4>into more impactful investments, so affordable housing developments, technology, training

1:11:17.439 --> 1:11:22.599
<v Speaker 4>for underserved communities, access to capital for minority entrepreneurs, all

1:11:22.600 --> 1:11:25.640
<v Speaker 4>these different things to try to break these cycles. And

1:11:25.680 --> 1:11:29.160
<v Speaker 4>so when you talk about philanthropy, I've kind of evolved

1:11:29.280 --> 1:11:33.120
<v Speaker 4>into like a holistic approach, so hitting a philanthropy to charity,

1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:36.840
<v Speaker 4>but also you know, meaningful investments into these you know,

1:11:36.880 --> 1:11:40.240
<v Speaker 4>communities to try to break these systemic cycles. And so

1:11:40.439 --> 1:11:45.799
<v Speaker 4>what I've done recently we formed an Opportunity Zone fund

1:11:46.240 --> 1:11:49.320
<v Speaker 4>to basically go into these same communities but do what

1:11:49.439 --> 1:11:51.840
<v Speaker 4>I've been doing at scale. You know, we're sitting right

1:11:51.920 --> 1:11:53.519
<v Speaker 4>now in an opportunities zone. I don't know if I

1:11:53.680 --> 1:11:54.799
<v Speaker 4>if I talk to you about.

1:11:54.560 --> 1:11:56.759
<v Speaker 2>This, you mentioned it but as much details.

1:11:56.800 --> 1:11:59.560
<v Speaker 3>So it's like, if you're an opportunity zone.

1:12:00.800 --> 1:12:05.280
<v Speaker 4>Business and I invest in you, I can basically get

1:12:05.280 --> 1:12:09.000
<v Speaker 4>a tax free investment on any type of liquidation. So

1:12:09.080 --> 1:12:12.200
<v Speaker 4>if I have a capital gain and I reallocate that

1:12:12.200 --> 1:12:15.120
<v Speaker 4>capital to the opportunities on right, to the opportunity's own

1:12:15.160 --> 1:12:18.439
<v Speaker 4>business or development or whatnot, and if I hold that

1:12:18.840 --> 1:12:21.800
<v Speaker 4>investment for over ten years, it becomes tax free.

1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Correct.

1:12:22.320 --> 1:12:25.400
<v Speaker 4>So what you're seeing is a lot of these private institutions,

1:12:25.439 --> 1:12:29.160
<v Speaker 4>family offices, they have a lot of capital gains. I

1:12:29.200 --> 1:12:31.880
<v Speaker 4>mean some people estimated it being a six point one

1:12:31.960 --> 1:12:36.479
<v Speaker 4>trillion dollar market. So these when this money flows into

1:12:36.520 --> 1:12:39.639
<v Speaker 4>these communities, if it's not done the right way, then

1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:43.280
<v Speaker 4>what you're going to see is more gentrification, more displacement,

1:12:43.720 --> 1:12:47.320
<v Speaker 4>less ownership from the community. So my whole thing is

1:12:48.680 --> 1:12:51.600
<v Speaker 4>making sure that doing I can do my part to

1:12:51.640 --> 1:12:54.040
<v Speaker 4>make sure the investment is done the right way, so

1:12:54.080 --> 1:12:56.280
<v Speaker 4>it's not just top down, Like the worst thing a

1:12:56.360 --> 1:12:59.840
<v Speaker 4>community can ever want is somebody coming in and telling

1:12:59.840 --> 1:13:01.160
<v Speaker 4>them and what they're supposed to do.

1:13:01.600 --> 1:13:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Here.

1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:03.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm here to help you. I'm here to help you

1:13:03.560 --> 1:13:05.400
<v Speaker 4>solve your problems. I don't care what you say, this

1:13:05.479 --> 1:13:07.360
<v Speaker 4>is what we're going to do. And so that's where

1:13:07.360 --> 1:13:09.559
<v Speaker 4>it's like for me. I feel like when you go

1:13:09.640 --> 1:13:12.120
<v Speaker 4>into these communities, it has to be an inclusive approach.

1:13:12.479 --> 1:13:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Because I can't come into your home and your community

1:13:15.000 --> 1:13:18.360
<v Speaker 4>and tell you what you need without having a conversation.

1:13:17.920 --> 1:13:18.920
<v Speaker 3>With you first.

1:13:19.120 --> 1:13:23.240
<v Speaker 4>And so what you're seeing is people reallocating their money

1:13:23.240 --> 1:13:26.200
<v Speaker 4>to these communities, but solely based on the financial return.

1:13:26.840 --> 1:13:28.800
<v Speaker 3>So what we're doing with our fund.

1:13:28.840 --> 1:13:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Is essentially having a double bottom line, so you have

1:13:31.320 --> 1:13:34.600
<v Speaker 4>a financial return, but you also have some type of social.

1:13:34.320 --> 1:13:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Or environmental return as well.

1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:39.320
<v Speaker 4>So we look at it as a very intentional investment

1:13:39.320 --> 1:13:44.560
<v Speaker 4>approach to revitalizing communities. And you know, we're looking at Nashville, Atlanta,

1:13:45.479 --> 1:13:48.759
<v Speaker 4>Austin where my partner is, Coachville where I'm from. There's

1:13:48.880 --> 1:13:52.320
<v Speaker 4>opportunity zones in all these cities, and you know, we

1:13:52.439 --> 1:13:54.719
<v Speaker 4>have relationships within all.

1:13:54.560 --> 1:13:56.919
<v Speaker 1>These markets, and you're just trying to be more intimate

1:13:57.040 --> 1:13:59.479
<v Speaker 1>with those areas other than letting the very top yes,

1:13:59.600 --> 1:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>just kind of side here's where all, here's what this

1:14:01.920 --> 1:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>money is going to go to.

1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>So then it doesn't kind of.

1:14:04.040 --> 1:14:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Separate exactly, because if you look around Nashville, it's like

1:14:07.280 --> 1:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>how many cranes are in the sky bro.

1:14:08.880 --> 1:14:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Like fifty Americas crane or megascrans are here? Are you serious?

1:14:14.560 --> 1:14:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Some percentage like that.

1:14:15.600 --> 1:14:18.240
<v Speaker 4>That's high so like, but if you go drive around

1:14:18.280 --> 1:14:23.560
<v Speaker 4>North Nashville, like it's pushing out to North Nashville.

1:14:23.320 --> 1:14:26.800
<v Speaker 3>But what you see are people like these sleazy developers.

1:14:27.120 --> 1:14:29.600
<v Speaker 4>If I had if you're if you're a resident in

1:14:29.640 --> 1:14:31.479
<v Speaker 4>a home and I want to buy your home and

1:14:31.520 --> 1:14:34.920
<v Speaker 4>you won't sell it, they'll go tell Metro and report

1:14:35.000 --> 1:14:37.560
<v Speaker 4>codes on you and say, look, they're not in compliance,

1:14:37.600 --> 1:14:39.720
<v Speaker 4>their their roof is messed up, or they're you're not

1:14:39.880 --> 1:14:42.160
<v Speaker 4>following this, so you can get evicted and I come

1:14:42.200 --> 1:14:44.320
<v Speaker 4>and snatch your home up so I can tear it

1:14:44.360 --> 1:14:47.360
<v Speaker 4>down and build a tall and skinny and have somebody

1:14:47.360 --> 1:14:51.840
<v Speaker 4>move in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot exactly. So that's

1:14:51.880 --> 1:14:54.160
<v Speaker 4>what you see is happening. These people are are not

1:14:54.720 --> 1:14:56.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, privy to what's going on, and they're getting

1:14:56.960 --> 1:14:59.920
<v Speaker 4>taken advantage of because they just don't have the financial literacy,

1:15:00.080 --> 1:15:03.200
<v Speaker 4>the education understand it. And so that's what I'm trying

1:15:03.240 --> 1:15:05.960
<v Speaker 4>to prevent, you know, and play my role prevent from happening.

1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:08.080
<v Speaker 4>And so yeah, I mean that's what I've been focused

1:15:08.120 --> 1:15:10.040
<v Speaker 4>on the last couple of months, and we're trying to

1:15:10.080 --> 1:15:11.040
<v Speaker 4>really do it the right way.

1:15:11.680 --> 1:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. You're a stud man, it's incredible.

1:15:14.680 --> 1:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's four three nothing? Maddie wanted to

1:15:20.160 --> 1:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>talk a little ball back there. Well, it was a

1:15:22.400 --> 1:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>recommend I apologize.

1:15:24.320 --> 1:15:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Four to three is four defensive linemen and three linebacks.

1:15:27.479 --> 1:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Over that transitioning from.

1:15:29.200 --> 1:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>A four three d N two three four outside back

1:15:31.040 --> 1:15:33.559
<v Speaker 1>here just me in my head. I was like, I already,

1:15:33.840 --> 1:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>we already know, like there's gonna be a lot of

1:15:35.680 --> 1:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>topics that you'll be able to kind of.

1:15:36.960 --> 1:15:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Go with with. Okay, are we at a time?

1:15:39.360 --> 1:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we've been wrapping if you want to

1:15:41.840 --> 1:15:42.320
<v Speaker 2>hit one.

1:15:42.320 --> 1:15:44.559
<v Speaker 1>It was like the transition from a four three hit

1:15:44.640 --> 1:15:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the go ahead, hit that quick, bro.

1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:49.519
<v Speaker 4>I thought I was about to get either traded or released.

1:15:50.000 --> 1:15:52.639
<v Speaker 4>I called my agent at the time, and I was like, Hey,

1:15:52.640 --> 1:15:53.960
<v Speaker 4>they just hired Kim wizend Hunt.

1:15:54.000 --> 1:15:56.160
<v Speaker 3>He's a three four guy. Like, what's up? Am I

1:15:56.160 --> 1:15:57.520
<v Speaker 3>getting released?

1:15:57.960 --> 1:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Like?

1:15:58.160 --> 1:15:59.960
<v Speaker 3>No, they definitely see you as being a part of

1:16:00.080 --> 1:16:01.120
<v Speaker 3>their plans moving forward.

1:16:01.160 --> 1:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yo, this is the political answer. Yeah.

1:16:03.400 --> 1:16:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Like, but I'm like, yo, this is my contract here.

1:16:05.760 --> 1:16:09.439
<v Speaker 4>You just changed my position. And so I was like, okay,

1:16:09.680 --> 1:16:11.960
<v Speaker 4>I had to either take it on an.

1:16:11.840 --> 1:16:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Approach of naw, I'm not doing that or I had

1:16:14.640 --> 1:16:15.280
<v Speaker 3>to approach it with.

1:16:15.280 --> 1:16:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Open mind, and that's what I did. And so I

1:16:17.160 --> 1:16:19.760
<v Speaker 4>think it's all about mindset, right, you know, it's all

1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:23.639
<v Speaker 4>about your approach and your mentality on certain situations. So

1:16:23.920 --> 1:16:26.240
<v Speaker 4>if you focus on the bad, that's all you're going

1:16:26.280 --> 1:16:28.280
<v Speaker 4>to see is bad. But if you focus on the

1:16:28.360 --> 1:16:30.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, the positive outlook, and you'll start to see

1:16:30.320 --> 1:16:32.840
<v Speaker 4>the opportunities in it. And that's exactly how I approached it.

1:16:32.880 --> 1:16:35.439
<v Speaker 4>And so for me, I think it worked out because

1:16:36.000 --> 1:16:38.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, playing four three m that's a lot more

1:16:38.840 --> 1:16:41.480
<v Speaker 4>grinding and hitting three four outside linebacker.

1:16:41.920 --> 1:16:43.439
<v Speaker 3>You're still in the in the trenches.

1:16:43.479 --> 1:16:45.479
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I might drop out for coverage every other

1:16:45.520 --> 1:16:47.519
<v Speaker 4>couple of plays and that kind of staves your body.

1:16:47.840 --> 1:16:49.439
<v Speaker 4>So I took it on the approach of that. And

1:16:49.439 --> 1:16:51.000
<v Speaker 4>then when you have Dick with Bow coming in and

1:16:51.040 --> 1:16:51.799
<v Speaker 4>running that three.

1:16:51.760 --> 1:16:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Four, that's unreal.

1:16:53.840 --> 1:16:55.840
<v Speaker 4>I love that three before I could play that, you know,

1:16:56.000 --> 1:16:58.439
<v Speaker 4>for ten years. And so you know, it's all about

1:16:58.439 --> 1:17:01.040
<v Speaker 4>the scheme fit. And I think that the scheme, the

1:17:01.080 --> 1:17:04.000
<v Speaker 4>three four scheme fit me and guys like Brian and

1:17:04.080 --> 1:17:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Rackbow skill set very well.

1:17:05.920 --> 1:17:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Like we weren't dropping in the coverage every play. We

1:17:08.920 --> 1:17:10.479
<v Speaker 3>weren't at the.

1:17:10.479 --> 1:17:14.040
<v Speaker 4>Nose taking on double teams and doing things that were

1:17:14.040 --> 1:17:16.680
<v Speaker 4>outside of our skill set, and so I think it's

1:17:16.720 --> 1:17:19.000
<v Speaker 4>all about the scheme and it definitely helped us.

1:17:19.400 --> 1:17:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. Boys. That was so understead Man.

1:17:23.920 --> 1:17:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for coming on.
