Does that make show?

For sure?

If you got damn you might be on something and they probably do that if you got like a I was saying, what they call that?

Yea?

You know so if you've got that service, bro, let me tell you something.

It's like it's like a like an entertainment package.

If you will, you can win too.

They do back in the day, you can.

Georgia was doing it for a minute.

You remember here, that's what that's what they wait more, all them on the sideline.

No, I'm talking about hosting, not not just showing no damn appearance, taking my people out, showing where to go, take them to this ristal.

They're snatching away bowl games and stuff back in the day.

But now you can do that stuff now and all that ship.

What can't you do with this motherfucking money?

Now?

Hey, Georgia Tech and Georgia played I know, I know y'all was one of the different outcomes, but nah, the game was.

It was a good game.

We say that though.

Yeah, I'm tired of y'all getting a caller to the fucking determined the game.

Bro, It's always a call or to.

Now we did throw that pick on the two.

That hurt, Yeah, yeah, that hurt.

But uh, y'all pick we picked get the past interference called picked up again and whatever that It was a hands to.

The face, the face mask.

No, it was the face, man, it was a face mask, but it was.

It was a personal foul.

Hands to the face on one of our d linemen.

And I'm like, bro, hold on, y'all.

Y'all the s c C the biggest, toughest, roughest, and we calling hands to the face.

But that's how I go sometimes.

Yeah, how you picking up flags?

Come on, man, throw the flag and stand back.

You play certain teams, you just know what's gonna come with it.

There's some treating their ship.

N a couple of referee they got Jordan and on.

Them after the game.

Put in Jersey say that word again.

Don't worry about it.

Just collect the ship.

I'm gonna get it right, all right.

If you want to win.

To Georgia Tech, what the other school you had in mind?

What made me say, oh that one?

Damn?

Oh yeah yeah, And I knew that ship because you went there before you came visited.

So yeah, I went on my visit to Okay, the other place.

Yeah, especially after we lost.

Man my son go to Woolward.

So I was just like, you can't wear your colors.

You want to wear them color like you wrap your school, but not that well yeah the week for real?

What was that?

That?

Like?

Sold you gonna Tech?

So I wanted to tell everybody asked me that, you know, why did you go to Tech?

You know, Georgia had the better program, all that Homer, Clemson, all that stuff.

I wanted to taket Sol because of the education.

When I graduate from Tech, I'm going to walk right into a job, an opportunity right out of Tech.

And that's why I want to Tech.

You know, Mom, being an educator, you know that was obviously, you know, a big emphasis, a big focus in our household.

So you know I knew that.

You know, football was just you know, me being realistic, like I know the numbers, you know, small percentages, you know, injury and all that stuff can happen, you know, just go out there and like to my dad's point, you know, just bust your ass and see what happened.

What you what did you pick up?

What's your your major?

I went to Tech to be an engineer, but I fell into building construction.

And they came and told me, like my first year that I can't do that and play football here because all like the main courses are in the afternoon.

We got practice in so I switched over to business management and.

Problem serious and right, you gotta be studying like.

I was an underclear engineer going in and they quickly said, hey, Reggie, you got to change something now.

And it wasn't because of the schedule of the classes.

I'm gonna flunt that.

We get it.

We got you switch this up right now.

Crazy to hit the reason why you were thinking education?

Like what job purpose one of the best receivers to play job?

That's crazy?

What then, like I said, we go back to Tech though, like went to that visit to U g A.

And it's you know, I had two main visits.

I didn't want to Clemson too, but it's more unofficial.

I just know I want to stay home to my family, can send me play gotch and went up there and had my whole time.

I say, I hate to put the putting nobody on blast like that, but man, like it's just it wouldn't vie, you know, I kind of got dumped onto somebody else.

And so you know that was just like like in the projects, you know, the dorms just felt like it was just like, you know, just like where we at.

They messed up bang.

So come to Tech.

I felt.

I literally went to Tech like the following week or something like that.

You know, QB was real fresh in my mouth, you know.

And then Reggie hosted me, you know, screwed me up in the in the Holly Davis truck.

Yeah yeah, yeah, around campus and all.

And it slip like flirt like I'm saying, not like that, you know what I'm saying, like you come like extra.

Clean the word.

Or like, ain't no flirt.

Ed up.

I got a clean cut, got your man.

But you know, Reggie, we had a good time.

Man, had my first experience, you know, with cannabis, and it wasn't that Reggie put it on.

I always wanted, you know, I was curious, you know, so that was dope.

It's awesome experience.

You know, I got to hang out with all the you know the dudes on the team, you know the dudes like the starter.

Yeah, live with those guys and you know those guys taking in and stuff like that.

So it was a whole totally different vibe.

You know, the guys were accepting and all that.

I was like, yeah, I like to feel comfortable here, and so it's really that man.

Shout out.

We can't share that story enough.

I'm telling you, Holmes, Liaisons get it right.

You don't even know what you were doing.

But the ll CLL.

And the Lions played the package yesterday, bro, not over Thursday Thanksgiving.

They run together to them, Yeah, you ain't.

Lying when when you on Wednesday, after Wednesdays, Sunday, every day after that feels like Saturday, man Detroit.

I just felt like they were finn win every time.

Shout out to Jodan Love, bro Joan Love.

He played good, like you can't take nothing away.

He he won that game.

Has always been a good player to me.

I feel like I've always looked at him as a quarterback that's like up and coming to be top contender as a quarterback, like like personally.

See the potential.

But it seemed like he never put it together.

You don't be having He was like that too though ball.

But now now them guys catching though man Washington.

Huh number nine Watson, that's watching in weeks.

Like number he's a big, big play guy for him.

Yeah that number thirteen, yeah, number thirteen.

Well he catched that ball.

Yeah that was on some fourth down.

Huh.

I like, I like Dobbs too.

Yeah.

So I think they now they missioned as a receiving core with him.

I think, you know, he's got to finish.

He got to show us he could finish the season.

You know.

I think he said was this is his third fourth year start.

I think it's third.

I think it's third.

Aaron Rodgers, Yeah, this is his third year start.

Cause you remember Aaron Rodgers went to the Jets.

He was in just two years.

Now he would still he had a solid first year started second year was man, and now you know he's got to put it together here, right, he.

Got this year next year to like really be all right.

I mean I like that.

So I like the situation there.

I mean they got Parsons I hated for us, and they did that right before the first game of the season.

Was like I was going to that game, first game the season against Green Bell like, oh we got this and that trade happened.

I was like, it isn't you.

It wouldn't only win, It didn't only just hit you.

Trust me?

Oh my god, diehard go Cowboys?

What what?

It depends on the week.

Call she like him sometimes?

Yeah, she liked my homes last week.

Yeah, you took the chief the Cowboys.

So when we're betting, it's different.

But you don't bet against my homes.

But I see you can't this this this season because they.

Is pool Hey number three picking chicken now we all could like.

I guess stuff Cee Lamb or picking damn.

I mean the way Pickens playing right now?

Man?

And see he stepped it up too, though he did.

I think having Pickings there forced him to step his game up as well.

Sick one.

We know it's Pickings.

It's okay, man, I mean he crazy.

Ain't nothing scare you about.

Wait a minute, Pickings ain't done nothing crazy this year this season.

He posted the goddamn wife on Instagram last week.

I was that was that was a hack?

That was.

I didn't get to see it.

I didn't get to see it.

Are you the only person in America, seeing that you're trying to photo shop.

Talking ship the whole city of Philadelphia.

Matter of fact, let me see your phone, hold on put this.

While let me tell you all, bro Pickings, this is the difference between Piggins and a lot of a lot of other players.

And why I say that Pickings won't that ship like when the game on the line.

He wants you throwing his weight.

He like, man that.

Ship when he's about the man leaped over all the damn god.

But you know, I gotta frame that ship.

I was sitting, I was talking, and somebody said, Uh, Pickins, quick to get the cat.

That's hard to catch.

But it was a red glass catch.

He ain't catching it or it's hard for him to catch.

When the game on the line, give it, Pickings.

Throw that motherfucker the ball.

If I'm picking.

If I'm picking, Pickings or c D give it the pickings.

See because CD dropped some ship that.

You like in the on in the end zone, wide open het him in the chest.

I ain't gonna all the games were good as hell Thanksgiving except that damn Baltimore and Cincinnati.

I'm gonna sleep on that smoking.

Joe is back and watch out for him, bro.

Bob, I said, I said, Bob.

Somebody saying on Twitter they said zero m vps, zero super bowls, uh zero something else in seven nicknames.

They done gave Joe Burrow every nickname he could get hold on.

Now, he did go to Super Bowl one time.

Then no, he went to the Super Bowl Bengals against the one time.

At least they played the Rams that year.

They definitely lost.

Yeah, yeah, he went against the room.

Come on, man, but good bro, help Yeah he made him not be good.

Yeah, he just be hurt.

Hurt him and jam is just a problem.

I'm glad you Jamar.

I gotta make apology.

Bro, I've been saying, justin Jefferson to be receiving the league.

If you watched Jamar, you can't say.

That she got your boy.

You can't have all.

Your brain cells and say something like that, like people start thinking, I'm on the spectrum.

Just like that.

That's my favorite.

When you got your quarterback, Bro, that's how good this ship looks.

That's how it happened.

Jefferson ain't had no QB that he could besh it to that.

You're right, that's why.

Yeah, So that's why it's.

Why they got rid of Donald go to and I'm biased because I don't like Michigan.

My wife being missed state here, but that party real, you know, but I don't.

I thought that was a bad move.

Robert crazy at they house.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she'd be talking about tick.

Uh it's big ten.

Still, Like with Michigan if he's saying Michigan Michigan State, like it's what I'm saying.

Like with the Jordan and Jordan Tech like she talked ship by tich or she on his shode thing.

Okay, that's hard.

Yeah, but my cart an I never thought it was.

He ain't showed you nothing.

Sometimes you gotta go with what's working.

Show me the man.

I said the same thing.

I got a great team around him in college.

He didn't showed me in college.

That was a good AD team, that was a good ASD team in college.

He ain't really showed me nothing in college.

Hey what's that?

Yeah, what's the Michigan Ohio State score?

We got a score?

Uh yeah, we're watching that live as we speak.

If Ohio State, Ohio State were already saying them against Indiana, Michigan, yeah, they ain't gonna beat them with no field goals though, you gotta you gotta score on you gotta score on Ohio State.

You got if you got a team down like that, go ahead and bear ship.

Same story for us yesterday.

Yeah, when you and that in the red zone and stuff like.

That, that's the that's the difference.

They scored a touchdown we did.

Still talking about that Bengals game, Bro, I'm watching Lamar.

Yeah, there's no identity on that team, man.

And when I say no identities, like don't look good.

They don't know how to play.

They have they have a great team, like on paper, but when they go on that field, Bro, it's like, where is the chemistry at.

Like he's just a freak of nature.

Bro.

When I say that, like you don't know what you're gonna get out of him.

But yeah, if you playing around him where you got Garrett hearing, their hearing might break and run for sixty yards and then they come back doing I.

Think they had like five turnovers or something.

Oh yeah, Ship, that don't help.

They had at least four.

Lamar his last three games, no touchdowns, three interceptions to fumbles lost, and eight sacks.

Bro.

He hold on to the bottom.

Six of them was probably.

Sometimes receivers fourteen he was damn tapped down.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cincinnati kept trying to run that drunk at this point.

That should have like like, yeah, you know they run first play action.

You know, they just it's built in.

You know, you got Bowers cross in the middle of the field, you got baitther Bateman or something.

You got receivers.

Yeah, they got likely you know, it's tight end and likely fumbling the end zone.

Oh, that was bad.

That was that's that's a bad feeling.

That's a bad feeling because he had fault for that ship.

That's a bad feeling.

Take your head down, yeah, boy.

But it must be I'm thinking, and it gotta be some inconsistency with the old line because you know sometimes there carry might go off and then sometimes they just lamar can't get to pass off to your point, some of them self inflicted hold on the boss.

Yeah, they have a lot of turnovers though.

Oh show that what was that first six career games JaMarcus Russell one thousand, fifty one passing yard, McCarthy nine twenty nine total touchdown Russell five, McCarthy six interceptions, MacArthur got ten.

So JaMarcus Russell.

Three, they doing it like that, and JaMarcus Russell had a slightly better completion percentage.

And MacArthur got better receivers.

Those are the movies get you fired right there, Jettison, go on, Darnald, good cars.

That kind of stuff get you fired.

Yeah, good car.

Cause you could have franchised tagged that boy one more year till you figure it out straight up.

Okay, So before this season, the longest Justin Jefferson had ever gone without one hundred yards.

What did it say?

It was four games in a row.

Now he hasn't top eighty yards six straight weeks.

And Joe, what you're saying that, Look, it's cool if he not doing that, and then you will see it go to Addison or somebody like that.

Nobody else is getting y'all this motherfucker not throwing at nobody.

And one thing you're like, oh no, that's because Jefferson taking away.

You know what I'm saying, the defender.

Ain't nobody got nobody in the damn bo MacCarty, don't give a damn man.

And then them targets be madding too.

Shout out to Chicago, bro fall bro oh Ben Johnson, Hey, let him get away.

Hey, Bro, Chicago, Calvin, Reggie, Joe.

I never knew so many people with Chicago, Bellfoan, They coming out the woolwork.

Bear Down, y'all ain't never saying that ship doubt.

Matter of fact, bar Down was fucking Arizona or some ship or that's.

What they've been saying for a while.

You know what what I'm saying what they say, But I ain't heard the ship.

Heard, Bro, They all don't lie.

Hanang gonna see it.

Man, it's bear Down.

That's what you gotta think when the last time they've been able to say it.

That's true too.

Literally, Oh yeah, they beat the Eagles.

A J.

Brown had ten cages, one hundred and thirty two yards and two touchdowns and another.

He should be right after in my mind, right after my man, we're just talking about Yeah, real, that guy's good, That that dude's talented was the fuck.

I would have.

That's what we need.

Ball Man talking so much ship about A J.

Brown.

But he don't get the rock.

They don't get them into rock enough.

I mean, yeah, they got.

The crazy, but throw the ball up.

This dude makes plays when the balls in there.

He gets separation, He got good routes.

He don't make a ton of separation.

He does run a couple of good routes, but he makes plays when the balls in.

The skin and slant and go, that's it.

That's all.

Run him on slants, run him on goals.

He can't be stop body.

He's gonna body you all, just like I did.

Just by.

Okay, damn well.

This season, his skill level in general, I mean, like as far as like somebody I see like myself that has all the skill that can put everything together.

He can put everything together.

Ain't no no intermediate routes are not like yours.

Bro.

He doesn't get out of everything crispy, but he can do it.

I've seen it.

I've seen it.

I've seen it.

He don't get the rock like he should.

That's my frustration.

I understand his frustration.

Yeah, do all this crazy stuff with the books and all.

That, but we might have that book upside down.

As far as the skilled ball in the air.

But when he did get in, he had a good game.

They lost.

It's just like playing.

They're not playing team ball because when I say ship, they're not getting everybody involved though, and that but that to his defense, he's been saying that since the beginning when they was winning, it was somebody gonna figure this simple ass ship out soon, and when they did not, look.

That's what I'm saying, like you was it was a lot of you know, hoop lied in the beginning.

My favorite player from that game last night when two six he messed up the push, Oh yeah, you you want to play?

I was like, finally somebody wrecked that ship.

You got to stripped them all about it there right there.

Yeah, Bears got a good defense.

Shout out to Bayer your boy Gardner Johnson and I like that line.

My task went east side.

Yeah, balling man, that was a good game, though, I don't know, it's some sometimes i'd be liking Philadelphia fans.

You be wanting them to lose something.

They talked so much ship the worse fans.

Yeah, just mean.

You think they're the worst.

Yeah, like playing wide off the field over there.

Yeah, he was like, I also hurt.

I was almost in tears.

Hurt, like y'all wanted that they have they cruel to their own team to you said, yeah, they turned on.

Him yesterday they beat Santa Claus.

Remember, Yeah, they.

Different for real.

They's got a jail in the stadium.

That's straight up.

So you said you got you said Jamar Chase, you said A J.

Brown.

I ain't saying did you know what I'm saying?

But some five with your favorite receiver.

Justin one hundred percent.

I like my man out in l a young man.

He's getting hurt.

Pooka, Yeah, Pooker, I like him.

He gotta he gotta.

He got a good, good skill set.

Neighbors.

You know that kid, he's young, but dude.

With the giant pious town Yeah, leaving Now, who's my number two for.

The temple?

Oh your boy Ohio State?

Yeah, that kid is balling in obviously, my man out in saying Seattle that's having.

A hell of a year right now.

Smith and Jackson Smith like there's like a.

Frame like to like, I feel like the ideal receiver, like you like six one is and you like untouchable kind of the line.

You're shifty, you know some of those guys kind of fit that Bill Man.

You can make it's hard.

You could be unstoppable if you can put it all together.

You brought up hooker out there in l A.

How it is to see Matthew Stafford still like getting it in.

Matthew playing so smooth.

It's like everything's coming easy to him right now.

Yeah, you know it's he don't I mean stress less out there.

That's how he looks.

Like he's seen it all and.

Like really good VP.

Yeah yeah, I mean the way he's playing right now with that team.

Is playing right now, they're leading us the favorite to win the Super Bowl, right yeah, I don't know, Yeah, I agree.

I can't disagree with that.

Remember own two games that overtime lost and yeah, and that block that block field goal, which they should come.

On, they can easily.

They two plays away from being underfeeded.

Drake May.

I didn't see New England.

I didn't see that happening at all.

That that that structure, coach, the coach, the culture.

Bro.

You know, they're not gonna be sorry for a long time.

Go ball with the culture.

Come on, now, come on, I don't put my boy on the culture where.

Shout out to.

The word is officially banned.

Man, the word culture not notice though, bro, because you you know, like the culture is important.

Oh yeah, facts, yeah.

And he just kept he kept re emphasizing that ship for.

Everything we brought up against every culture.

Westbrook Okay, see culture culture, Jeff Gordon, Nascar culture, he's.

Gonna bring it up.

Look, look.

If this mother for the same culture a gig.

Man we had, we.

Had a good ass got their episode with him, Man, I gotta I gotta get that in the props to after watching that Thanksgiving.

Balling, And I want to say this too, like all of a sudden, right, I'll be hearing a lot of people that I never I never didn't like Dallas.

I never said that Dak was we was sorry.

I never said that.

I just I just don't like the fans, That's all I was saying.

I always like Dallas.

Shut your ass up.

Know you haven't stay your ass where you at, whatever team, stay over there, because what think about everybody?

If Dallas come and on the Lions on Thursday, y'all can't tell me ship I'm coming into this, My face gonna be painted.

I'm gonna face paint my mother for the face.

That's how women do down.

You were just right the motherfuckers off a month ago.

You ripped your Dallas cowboy.

Jersey and you I still got that motherfucker.

Piece that ship together.

I'm you made me mad that day.

How they're doing the relationship.

That's how.

Don't act like when your team don't make you know.

You already know.

Anytime you see Jerry double Chin hanging, that nigga happens.

Mhm.

To beat the Eagles and Chiefs, both teams that was in the Super Bowls back to back looking good.

We're back man, Jerry looking like a mastermind though.

The train for pickings and now that defense clicking with you got Quinn Williams.

Come on now, if they beat Detroit League in trublet because all your friends fanna be having on face painting ship.

So if they beat Detroit bro it's gonna be bad for the league, and that I think is gonna be bad for all sports outlets.

I'm gonna say this, though, if you like the Cowboys, if you love them, stay the way you are when y'all start, when everybody start doing all that and get behind them, don't say that SB word.

Don't say that word.

You say that word, it seemed like that it does something to them.

They died, they died, and start saying Michael j Yeah, my boy, don't be hearing that drum like an IRV.

Naw for real, who you got going to the Super Bowl right off the top.

Okay, if you if you had.

To think today, if I'll easily go with Brams.

I mean I was obviously said Troy, but we're just not looking great right now.

But the way the Rounds are playing, I'll say they represent the NFC and from the a f C.

Dang, I don't know.

I really don't know for that one.

Uh you got on over there, the Coats Coats, I would let's jump.

I would love to see New England and Drake Maye just surprised the hell.

Out of everybody.

Yeah, I don't know if you're gonna be able to sustain beat the.

Dog ship out they as the Super Bowls, but you can't count.

Might be anybody like that.

Yeah, that's how good they.

I would say the Colts, I feel like they got a better like.

Ye ride with bow Knicks, Broy.

Yeah, you know that's home team ship.

I've been I've been hearing coach next every now and then.

Man, it's I love to see that though.

That's pretty cool.

Nicks Both Nicks was a little boy when we were chech and and Patrick Nicks's dad was my quarterback coach, so you used to have him around all the time, Like I literally saw that boy from the ground up grow up.

So that's that's why my way puller for Yeah, I know you had mentioned that before.

I just think I think sooner or later, like your quarterback gonna have to win, win you a real game, and I think out of all those quarterbacks, I probably would go with It's crazy to say Daniel Jones.

Problem, Hey, ain't bad, ain't the most experienced out of that group too.

Yeah, because the younger, younger players, you know that playoffs, playoffs, they say it different.

I only played in the playoffs twice, but the energy.

Is different, especially like them away game something you can.

Feel it's real.

Great, it's real.

It's a report out there saying that Aaron Donald may be considering returning.

I think it's.

Yeah, there's so many them things that come out mantil you hear from you.

By that one.

They used to say that about you a lot of times, and I never know, but you never came out denied or or confirmative.

But I'll never know.

I don't.

I don't be doing it on social anywhere.

Yeah, I was messed up, like, great.

What you got.

You know anything?

Even we get we're been doing this ship when they talk about like the best receivers, do do you like think they don't.

I ain't gonna say because they mentioned you, but they say, like, you know how you say that Jared Rice, the terrell Ons, and you know, like when you say those names with the Randy Moss, Like, do you think like they don't say your name enough because of the years.

Yeah, they always give me stuff because of that.

But yeah, I mean for me it's nothing.

Man, I was first ballot, so for sure that says enough right there.

Yeah, and you want to in your prime, I mean that's what everybody's saying.

My prime, like prime for receivers years like three four five.

Man and a guy and the receiver can sustain like my thing.

When I came into the league, I said, I want to play for ten years.

I want to you know, you had it already.

I want to leave an impact, you know.

I want to have like ten thousand yards.

You know, it's just one thousand yards a year, you know, which is a solid thing, you know.

And you know my first year I had like, you know, seven or eight hundred yards somewhere in there.

Second year had like thirteen hundred yards, So I was on pace.

Yeah, you know, if I had those goals, you know, little things like that.

I played nine, I had eleven.

I had you know, after my eighth year, I had ten thousand yards.

I hit my goal, and I was like, man, I almost thought about retiring.

After that year, you know.

And it's just because my body though, Like the body's just like when guy you see it, like guys that just like go and go hard like this.

The NFL ain't for real, ain't for real long.

Yeah, you know.

I'm talking about every time he was catching rich it was like they were trying that.

Something was taking account.

Like I'm telling here to forty, you know, I'm six five to forty out here doing all this ship like five I ain't know two hundred pounds eighty five pound dude when this ship.

So it's the wear and tear on the knees and shit like that is really my ankles.

But I told myself when I just when I can't have the impact, you know, it's not the impact that everybody else is like the impact how I feel?

Oh I got and so my last my eighth year, I was like, dog like, this ship is just fucking taxing.

I went home after the season.

I was like first thing smoking after every season, I go home.

I sit on my dad's couch and I was like, man, Dad, I think I'm done, Like I just don't have this shit ain't fun no more.

It's just hurt.

And he's like, it's simple.

It's so simple.

He was like, you think you do it one more time?

And I was sitting there thinking about it.

And as I was thinking about before, I can't even say anything.

I was about to say something, and he was like, well, while you thinking about it, you probably do it one more time.

So I was like, all right, So I went back one more year.

I knew it was my last year.

Funny thing, I was telling all my teammates they would never believe me, and I was like, man, I'm about to retire.

There's a couple of guys retired that year.

I forgot who all was.

I know Kobe was one of them.

I retired like them dudes.

You know, nobody believe me.

But it was just my for me.

You know, I didn't have the pop, you know, I didn't have to go.

It hurt, like the whole off season to train, to do all the things that I knew I needed to do to get ready for the season.

Like I had a whole little off season things that I would do, and I knew that if I could, you know, I have thresholds to clear to know that I'm right, I'm good to go for the season, you know, because I knew what it took to you know, you know, do what I had to do for the whole season.

And when it got to the point where I just like hurt to push through those things and get to those thresholds, I just like, this ship ain't fun no more, you know.

And that was the point when I was.

Like, you remember running into me downtown Detroit, what's up?

And we had this conversation in the middle of the road.

He remember that was up when we ran into each other in Detroit and I got out and the road talking.

Yeah, he was like, dog, I'm hurting, I'm hurting.

That was like two years before you retired.

I kept that ship to myself for all the years.

Yeah, two years before you were retired.

In the middle of the street, was like, man, I'm hurting.

You know.

Funny thing, Matthew after all, like starting like years six and seven, he was after season, he was.

Like, Hey, I don't even think about it.

My dog.

They didn't know the work, they know the load, you know, just like, don't even think about it, Like, don't leave me out here by myself.

I was like, I would have been a couple of years, man, it was.

And then it's tough losing too.

That shit wear on you too, you know.

But we're fortunately there in my last couple of years, you know, my last you know, I think my last four years, we probably made the playoffs like two out of those four years, so that we were competitive at the time, and then they deconstructed the team on top of that, you know, getting rid of all our dolls on defensive line.

I'm just like, Lord got robbed in Dallas.

That Dallas.

That was robbery.

Yeah, I mean, but just like we were talking about earlier, man, it's always we always get I mean, Detroit get the holes, man, we get the hose.

We play in Georgia all the time.

Right about that, I'm glad, like you said it from your point of view, because, like you know, from a fan point of view, it was like, bro, what the hell is going on in Detroit because like you know, they put it with the Bearry Sanders, you know, how you retired in this front, like bro, what the fuck are they doing to the playoffs up now?

But it's like what you saying it like it was like your own goal.

It never was about I.

Tried not to say it.

Yeah, it's a culture thing, though I tried to shut out.

Oh Ma, like look at Detroit before Dan Campbell, Cane and win Dan Campbell can look at Georgia Tech before Brent Kee was here and now that he's here.

I mean that has a lot to do with it, doll.

And the reason why is because you got a head guy that played ball, he gets it.

But then he got coordinators, he got position coaches that played ball who get it.

Now you got guys up under him.

I was fortunately cause I had a guy in Sean Jefferson.

I played thirteen years.

You get buy in from your dudes when you got guys and the being where they want to go.

And that's what these coaches are putting around these guys.

So it's easy for these guys to want to buy in.

And when they buy in, it's just a matter of time before that thing click.

And then you're on the upper trajectory.

Gotcha, that makes sense.

But they just like he Mega trun retire that like at the time.

Like what, oh yeah, the lead shout of every play, you going at your max and like you say, he get double the trip forty two and forty pounds running the flow three every goddamn play Bridge, I bet you.

Though, if the rules were like there were today, though, oh you you would have did twenty guys can't can't touch you after five yards dragon foks down field.

I'm like, man, what was the rules like that?

You know even in college ten years down?

You know now you know when the quarterback is outside the pocket, it's free game.

You can just tag off on whatever receiver downfield, not beyond five yards.

Remember the NC State used to do your ass bad love, but that's been happening since college.

Bro.

Look at this, bro right, look at this like the man, Yeah, I did this with pride, Like my pride went like man, you got.

Them boys out there like over here, wou where you knew?

Like calm, like.

Oh this man, our first summer, bros.

He made it.

I always it's just one play.

And I doubt you remember because you used to do this ship all the time.

We running a go route or a fade route, and this is when we had the fields.

Laterally, because of summer campt they got to protect the middle of the field.

I throw a go route to him.

We're going this way.

He dove this way and caught the ball that way.

So again this way and one handed that motherfucker that way.

I looked at Patrick Knicks.

I said, oh, yeah, we're good.

From that day on.

He's doing that shit in practice like it's just clockwork.

Yeah, one on one.

If you leave him one on one, I don't give a fuck.

Who knows I'm throwing about a twenty one And I tell him in the hold of a bro your turn, let's go.

That would be the funniest thing.

It wouldn't be funny because sometime I'd be tired of shit.

I was like just that.

I was like, hey, all right, what team used to like really give you issues on the field, some college or lead like defensive.

Hated playing against the Vikings.

That was always a physical game.

Divisional game.

Yeah, but that was always the most physical one because they always had hard hitters and safety.

They had, you know, Darren Sharper at the time when I first came in there.

My man Harrison is.

Harrison Harrison Sam he came He came in right after him, So it was like no let down.

And they always had like pesky corners that are solid that like to like ride your coattail and stuff like that.

And it was always a physical team, you know.

And then they always had.

A good D line, D line always, you know, they had the Jared Allens, they had these Williams brothers working today.

They always had you forget you forget about that ship random John Randall that they still with a good D line yep mm hmm, all famous, but you one on one, it wouldn't never no corners where you thought about, like damn, I might have.

To work to.

Corners that I hated going against were the ones that were long arm and that like to play a catch tekn me.

I prefer if you're gonna jam, you know, come be aggressive.

I want you to be aggressive.

Yeah, you know, but if you're gonna like you know, stand like two three yards off and not really try to get into me, but like fall fall, fall, and then just you know, born when I could take it, when I choose a side those ships, that's ups because then they just you know, like I say, you're riding in court, Kotel, you.

Were saying your son, your son, any of your sons in the.

Sports Man, My eleven and seven year old, they are.

My eleven year old does he's played flag soccer.

Soccer and basketball are his favorite two right now.

My seven year old he does, Uh, he's in flag as well.

He does baseball and soccer.

You play all the sports.

Baseball is my favorite sport growing up, like a drafted out of high school for baseball, baseball with my jam and then I started playing I got I started playing football in seventh grade.

My mam will let me play when I was a kid.

And then yeah, hall of fame.

I want that's how that ship usually be happy?

Straight up.

I wouldn't, I guess I wouldn't, you know, hit out, burnt out, I don't know.

Yeah, And what you think about these kids nowadays, like when they're playing from like four and five years.

Old to high they be looking burned out in high school?

They don't.

They don't be done tapped out before high school.

Yeah, before high you probably saw it coming up our age.

I saw it, you know at our time with guys is just going NonStop.

Now guys are guys are playing football year round nowadays.

That's just insane.

What's really insane is like they when you're playing, When you're putting your kid in a sport and you're playing a year round and not allowing them to play other sports.

I think that's where you become well rounded.

You know, there's definitely traits from other from different sports that can translate into you know, whatever it is.

You really want to know what you think.

Is a good age to start, Like fall sport.

I mean, I mean, play baseball, all that, soccer, those things, you know, play them young, but football contact sports like that, like big contact sports.

My mom ne me plays because you.

Thought like playing young, you know, you just want to you know, put a little size on you know, that was her big thing for me.

But you know, play all the you know, non contact sports.

You know, put them, put them in a little bit of everything.

You know, let them see what they like.

You know, Like I say, skill sets from different sports translate, you know.

For me, you know, playing baseball, you know, tracking the ball, you know as a receiver, you know, a little basketball, you know, body position, you know what I'm I wish I played soccer, would have had better footwork probably, you.

Know, hmm, what's some of your best memories?

Do you know?

Reggie Bob being your QB one at Georgia Tech.

I just think about all the time to what he was just saying.

Man, Reggie is looking at me in the huddle and he just put it on me like, hey, big fellaws coming to you.

I just like, you know, how the time tired?

I be gassed.

You know, I'm just like all right, But because you was a block and receiver too, though, Yeah, That's what I'm saying, Like every like all across the board you checked off.

But you know the favorite thing about Reggie, man, it was just that you know, if I'm when he breaks the pocket, you know, I know where he looking and he wasn't afraid to throw it up.

And you know, because he trusts me, he put the ball up.

You know it's either my ball or nobody's ball.

And you said, like you be tired, Like your body be tired, your mental be tired.

So when you be feeling like that, how is it?

How do you tap into Like, No, I gotta go in there and get it.

You do it in practice.

You gotta have it.

Yeah, you gotta have it when you're in the game.

You know you kind of like kind of blame, you know, you you have those dots in the huddle.

But then you know, once you break that huddle, you know, you just kind of get back in that zone, you know.

But if you don't do it in practice, then that ship just don't click over like that in the game.

Practice.

Man, that's a clip that these high schoolers, middle school anybody, Bro, they be thinking they could.

Chill in practice.

It's some kids they play hurt And I said, I said, Bro, if you don't, I said, practice wouldn't make it.

We don't really be doing nothing in practice, I said, bru it trains you for the fourth quarters when everybody tired.

You not tired because you've been practicing.

If you're not doing this shit with everybody not watching, bro, it's not gonna happen.

Man, I'm a clip is saying it's a few of my cousins.

Are this Calvin's damn their best highlight.

Okay, yeah, this was similar to that catch I was trying to explain to you.

But just imagine it being a go rap n C stay third down.

M hm oh look at that.

And by the way, that ball tip that the line that I'm so grateful it was because twenty seven was about to kill my dog.

He was right there.

He was about to kill you.

Bro.

What a what a two to one came from Calvin?

That's my baseball number.

Okay, I would have worn in the league and for that, I mean nowadays, Yeah, you would, you had in Detroit.

We're going to win this game.

I throw a touchdown pass to Levin Thomas on fourth down.

You remember, shout out the battle?

Yeah, you talk every now and then, just training thing down on the southside, training landscape.

Yeah, was that a good pass?

Got tip one?

They got tipped at the line.

But go back, great and paulses go back, go back.

I'm glad he tipped his ball.

Just go back and pause it like right before Calvin makes that catch if he don't tip it, but it is going to kill Calvin.

So shout out to the d line.

Whoever tip he's waiting on me.

Toll you're right there.

Yeah, back then they would leave with the held me.

Like, no, no, no, keep going, keep going.

Did Levon just get right there too?

Probably did he stayed with notorious here Bro downfield, they're gonna knock your head off right here.

Number seven again.

Oh yeah, that's letter, Keep playing letter, keep playing that posit it right, almost.

Don't want to work so quick.

Hey, so Ball said he knew before the season started your freshman year, when did you know, because you said you just wanted to have a good job after you got out of college, when did you know, like bron the bell, Oh, I ain't.

I mean when I I ain't know I was the best receiver when I got there.

But I knew that.

You know, I was gonna be playing right away when I got there because this is the way they're using me.

You know.

That's like I literally like day one, you know, they're throwing me the ball downfield against the ones.

You know, I feel like you the mere deep roight on like you know, it was the butler, like one of them sidelines butler.

And I was like, I was like, okay, all right, that's for me.

That's a big confidence boos, like all right, I can run with these boys, you know.

And then from and like I say, it just didn't stop you from that point.

It was cool because he get thrown the fire though, you know it was.

When did they hit in the league because you said, you just want to.

Like what I'm saying, it'd be the players like like talking to you and listening to you, brother, You're just so cool about it, like nothing but watching you on the outside, everybody thought you were the best mother fucking ever.

Like we don't argue.

How many time we don't argue when we're talking football and receivers in yeah about the best, and we always know that.

They do not ask me, Yeah, you know who my number one is?

Nobody from but ball he saw from advantage point that we didn't see it.

He was like, man, I saw him, but we watch him from a fan point, like and we agreeing, but for him to say it's different, but like when did you see it?

When I got to the league, it was like my rookie year, I had a bad injury.

I thought I was fucked up.

We're playing Phild and I hurt my back and I couldn't I was down for like four or five weeks.

I couldn't even like I couldn't run for like two weeks.

I was like, damn.

Like when it happened, I was feeling in my legs on the field.

They that's the one that had to cart me off.

And I literally couldn't feel my legs for like a whole minute.

And then my coach Sean just came over to the field.

He's like, hey, you can get your ass up, we're gonna walk off this field, and you know, it came back up.

You know, over time, I was probably out there like a couple of minutes, like five minutes, and then finally got up, walked off and then they carted me off the field from there.

So my after that, my rookie year, I was like shit, like it took me like a good two years to get my back to feeling good.

But my second year, I had, you know, I'm like twelve or thirteen hundred yards.

I was like all right, you know, I had like either I was like the top or the second almost, you know, highest yards in the league that year.

And I was like, all right, I can do this.

And then I was still hurt, you know, so I'm like all right.

Third year, had another injury, and I came like I got I came up with nine hundred and eighty five yards, like.

One yard off of my incentive.

That was some you know, some upstairs cool you know that that was so you know, so they're playing some politics in that.

But after that, you know, it was just.

Like you know, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, nineteen, you know, just.

Just knocking them off because I had Matt.

Matt was fully healthy my fourth year, and then from that point on, we went like on a five year streak where we was just you know, killing it.

What about that record, that record, sating.

The year, record sating the year?

Man, that was I didn't even know I was on pace until about you know, ten games until the year.

My coach kept on telling me.

He was like, hey, I think I started the year like I started a year crazy that you're the coach was like, hey, man, you're on pace with yours record this year, and I'm trying to thinkbout I don't dream think about it.

I just I just tried to go ball, you know.

Yeah, he was like, hey, you need you be having numbers.

He's breaking it down, like, hey, you need to average out one hundred and fifty the rest of the season.

And you got it, and then you know, I was shit.

I probably, I mean obviously did it.

Yeah.

I was having two hundred yard games that year.

I was having big games, and.

But you were just playing.

You wouldn't even trying to do that.

It was just playing me.

I was.

I mean, my guys were hurt so they had to feed me.

You know, that's a tough thing.

I remember my first my rafter my rookie season, they pulled myself and Roy Williams into the front office, the GM and the head coaching them.

They were just like, hey, this organization is gonna do anything, go anywhere.

You guys got to be the thorough Breads that take us there.

And Roy Williams got traded off before the season started, so then it was just like, shit, I was the only one, you know, And then that was the only sixteen year on sixteen that year, that shit was tough.

And then we was competing.

It was just like we just couldn't finish.

And then next year we drafted Matthew.

Matthews hurt really his whole first two seasons.

And then from that point like I's say.

Up, damn, that's hard.

But I'm glad we was able to get your side of the story because it's like, what the hell, because it's so many people hated Detroit for that and now to see them winning and stuff like that, it's goodt being Matthew Staffers.

I just about to bring that up, bro.

Even during that and sixteen year, my ACL was touring that year bro them, people still showed up, They still show love.

They still were packing out the stadium.

And I think the year before the three and thirteen season, the all the home games were still sold out.

So Detroit always had support and people who were dying for these people to start winning.

So to see the momentum that they got right now, Man, I'm telling you something.

When they're doing good, it's very hard to play in Detroit.

Bro NFC North tough right now.

Anyway though, top to bottom, Yeah, you got right.

Top to bottom.

Even the Vikings, even though they you know what I mean with they record, they still come out and play hard at.

The first couple of quarters, first quarter.

His flip flop from last year was Usings and now it's Green Bays.

Like I think with y'all losing the offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator, that don't help defense.

I mean, I like, I like Chef doing a great job.

Oh yeah, Cash Chep, she gonna he'll get hit.

I mean, I hope it's a couple of years, but he'll get him a head coach job at some point.

But I mean the off off offense.

Man, if we're not I mean last year, we probably averaged thirty points a game at least, you know this year, I mean we had twenty one.

I mean we probably aren't, but I don't feel like it.

How you come up with your cannabis brain?

So yeah, we started that in twenty eighteen, and we called it primitive because people have been using cannabis for thousands of years, so by definition, by nature, perimeterive.

And we started the cultivation, added processing, and then added a retail license in twenty one.

So we've been running a vertical up there since then.

And uh, we got like forty five team members.

So I'm like my own head coach and my team, Like I said, I hate to do it, but culture is everything.

Yeah, we got a great yeah because ball said you have.

It was the host the host ball.

I brought you some.

It was dope, the host ball.

Yeah you wanted more simple?

My bad.

Next time I'm down, I got you.

I'll be down in the week or two.

So I got cool, but all right, cool?

Okay?

Who gave you the name?

Mega Tron?

Roy Williams.

I came in the league in O seven, That's when the first big box movie came out in theaters, Transformers, and I guess it just came out and you know, he called me Megatron.

I was like, is that the bad guy?

You know?

I was like, ain't an optimist poem?

You know who you want to be.

But you know, I kind of thought about it, was like all right, Megatron rings and then I could be the bad guy to the defense all day.

You know.

I was like, that's cool.

But the commentators that what they were calling to, so.

It wasn't George for it was okay, I thought it was George.

George made of sense, big boom bro.

That's crazy.

But like it's like that that became like people were rarely hear say.

People don't really know my name.

Yeah, that's hard.

Mm hmm, Dan, that's all.

What's your favorite NFL moment when you think about it?

Catching the ball in Cincinnati?

I love this moment because I had a touchdown, like sixty yard touchdown on like three three Cincinnati Bengals.

It's like pac Man.

It was like two other it was like three or four guys down there, but pac Man was in the picture.

Reggie Nelson, somebody got drafted with off h this other safety.

But and then it's so big because Matthew was like mattheware.

Michael Johnson's about sack Matthew too as he's about to let it go, and uh, that's Michael Johnson.

We put we all played with him here at tech.

Oh yeah he.

Was well, he was good as a mother fucking too.

He put the hit on Matthew.

Look at all that was p I right now, all that's yat.

Yeah, we see it.

You pack two for pack, wasn't it?

Really?

He was in the picture, but he wasn't really on the I can't get the dunk on like a one or two.

But look at this.

I was on Reggie's head though it was three.

Yeah, that's three.

You like.

Look if you just typing your name Megatron.

Look how many gift deals and clips.

So many different games and you still like Bro.

Tell y'all, man, don't ask me who number one is?

Bro.

And all all respect to all receivers, especially one of the great ones, t Yo Jerry, but yeah, don't ask me who the number.

One is, Bro, and cleaned up that for the bad motherfucker is tough man to hold on.

Technically fold people right.

There, Bro, because your player in the damn way technically, Oh you coming to celebrate.

Already?

Knew already knew.

Look at him chilling.

Yeah, the referee like God, damn boy m look at him.

That's crazy playing with me.

That's hard.

Yeah, that Matthews, that mother right there.

He ain't on no soft battle.

He had no change up at all, but he gonna put it on you.

That The coolest thing was it was funny to see new guys come to Detroit and have to make the adjustment.

I remember Golden Tate coming to Detroit, you know, running the slant rock and then he just not used to that ball, getting up on you like that and popping your hands wide open.

Matthew, you had that kind of effect.

Your biggest head.

I'm just look look heads up and there, look at how bro Bro what.

But this is what I'm saying, Like I think we we're in the era.

You know what I'm saying.

You and I keep bringing up like you know that Jerry Rice and stuff like that.

But growing up and watching it live, we would see Mega Tron and Julio.

So that's why when we name receiver it them two receivers.

I saw them going live.

That's one that Julio you don't get.

He don't get in the same boat.

Mega tron.

They don't get you know what I'm saying.

You think about all the receivers they think about man, they be showing motherfuckers and gray and white man.

I don't know what, you know.

I feel like he took the reins you know once I love for sure because he he a tall receiver as well.

I mean he's six.

All of that you were talking about.

They hand saw how you got your name?

Like what movies that were you watching?

Like music you listen to?

Like well, like what what.

About just period?

Because like you talk because it's like you're cool as when I say, like you're cool on this ship, like you don't trimming about football, like like you don't.

Get I don't give them about eton.

Hey, listen, listen, listen missing it.

The funny thing like the drive we took, you know, you know it's like an hour to you.

Know, I made that drive all the time I get there and I realized that.

Damn I had no music.

Oh my god.

All I'd be thinking about, you know, got business, you know, got all these things going on, and just trying to you know, just you know, just thinking about business.

You know, whatever meetings I got, what's whatever?

You know, so I just and then sometimes I might have audio book on or something like that.

I mean, if I'm about to go, you know, have a good time or something like that.

You know, music selection, you know, I just go to Spotify and put up you know, my my rap Caviard and just I got a little.

Bit of everything on there.

Miking don Tolliver right now, you give nice.

Little vibe, Nice little vibe.

You know what.

Man been in Nashville a lot, Like I've never been a country fan.

I've been around so much country music lately.

Get older, getting older, That's what he did.

He talking about, like, damn, what's the name of whatever?

Whiskey song?

Uh shabooz.

That's a I think I know what you're talking about.

Something something.

It sounds like a love song.

It's country though, something whiskey.

I think how he's saying that, I think every black man could like agree to this.

Sometimes, you bro, you be at peace when you by yourself like that just all you need.

You don't need no hit on the loud music.

You just like why just to think a nigga can't think at their house.

Sometimes you don't like, I don't like.

To tell you what to do.

Your kids asking you to do you get in that car?

Nobody say, I don't want to think?

How am I feeling that.

Somebody asked you how you when the last time you asked the man how they feeling?

Joe, I just asked you what you gotta meaning?

You?

You said it on something?

What's up y'all?

You for not taking.

Take serious?

But nah, don't put me in this to ask somebody else like when.

All right, ladies in the comments, when the last time you asked the man how they do it?

And you you listen to listen to him respond?

It cared when he responded, what if you just be real bottom like man, just a little stress out of them in paying these bills last year or two?

You ain't paid?

Ship?

You know what you're gonna ask what we're gonna eat to night?

Yeah?

So what we what we in?

That's what she's gonna crying and ship to a face?

What were in tonight?

I ain't gonna lie a nigga real tired right now?

Ship, God damn working y'all.

That's on y'all.

No, we're not speaking for we're speaking for the men in America.

Sometimes you got you think Martin Luther King he went to Joel marching for him, You got to march for other people.

So we're talking for the mother onesmen, you know what, in case somebody watching it.

But if they not, were talking for every nigga the man.

No, but I'm gonna say that though.

The driving in silence, that's a thing, and I ain't talked about enough because I will drive in complete silence because I got a lot of chaos in my own damn house.

Shit and niggas cause chaos.

Two.

Okay, we're just saying at a certain age, silence is golden.

It's a whole bunch of I think in the second one he thought Lee died.

Oh yeah, yeah, that's cool.

But they say that compared to life life, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawd Bernie Man said that, yeah, that's ships its top tier.

You think life is great.

I know, I'm least something out.

It was solid, like it just perfect for the holidays.

Solid, like throw this ship on everybody watch it.

It wasn't even that long.

It's like an hour.

I'll be saying that Kevin Hart.

Kevin Hart gets so much hate from comedians.

I've seen a comedian on Facebook doing a review on Kevin Hart special.

Motherfucking review your own ship.

Like it'd be like, bro, this hating at this point.

He ain't falling off, bro, Yeah, come on, man, And.

He gives so many opportunities to the commedis so that's the that's right there.

Let long like, don't put him down.

Bro.

You already got to go against consumers, you as a comedian review and his special and you ain't got ship.

Damn.

It's tough as a comedian out here now they be on your ass.

Yeah you know how that ship goes?

My dog killing sh though, what's your uh?

Comedy?

Man?

Get overlooked a lot.

Bro, it'd be a lot of like the Little Crazy.

Man Jim Carrey that mother forget he gets overlooked and not talked about him.

He's one of my favorite actors.

Yeah, I put.

Mask and Jim carried Undid and on different side.

Yeah, Jim carry he and Living Color.

Yeah, it never was like you know what I mean, just one way and then he pop out doing this and doing that.

He's been he's been solid.

It's a lot of little crazy little movies out there, though.

Man, I ain't gonna lie.

CP three announced he's gonna retire after this.

Yeah, he had a solid, good top five point guard of all time.

I think we all could agree.

I love that all you got five in front of not five.

But I just you know how I feel about Russell Westbrook when when when it comes up, I think Russell Westbrook being there long as long as a shout.

Magic john say nothing wrong, bad Magic Johnson.

I'm not going to order.

I'm make us put the list out.

Stell magic, Stell Magic c B.

I'm still ain't ranking ship.

I ain't ranking ship as long as Russell Westbrook has talked about.

Yeah, Russell Westbrook in the top in my top five.

I'm with y'all.

Just a good room to be in.

So what what's who else would be in at that's for that we missed.

Oh yeah, Isaiah.

Tom for sure MVP and he got rings not you, so okay.

On the way, it's always like the still said top five, but like top five point guards.

All time of all time, No a, I it's.

In the point guard everybody.

Anytime I put him in, they say here, shoot guard.

But he definitely uh, he's a bad motherfucker.

Let me ask you something, Cavin.

You think NFL players switch in the basketball is harder for NBA players NFL?

Which one will be more difficult?

I mean you six five.

If you're not.

I mean I feel like the skills set potentially for basketball, you know, from going from from the football on going from the field to the court.

And I'm not a great basketball player, but I feel like that could be a little bit more challenging me if you just got handles like that.

But who really does coming from the football field?

Now?

Can I see more?

And you see more.

Basketball players go from you know, basketball to football have success versus the other way around, to especially tight ends mm hm.

Antonio Gates obviously.

Was a basketball mm hmm no, but it was once somebody out of Miami.

There you go, like, who was some receivers that you like, you know why.

It was like all like growing up but you but you kind of started late, so it was like you.

Really still I was still a fan of the game.

Okay, even before you start playing, you was watching.

Yeah, I wanted to play when I was a kid, Okay, gotcha, Like you know, I grew up playing little Lee ball over and dunck And Park and feb because I grew up in College Park and Paul, so I used to I played in North Clayton and then played the Duck and Park over there, and we used to leave duck and Park and I would always see leaving baseball practice, would see the fabrine flames, you know, practicing they had these, you know, cool orange jerseys, blue helmets with orange flames on it.

And I just wanted to places because it's the cool, the cool units, blue plays with the flames on the pants.

That joint's cool.

Mama's won't let me play when I was a kid, though, you know, she was like no, She's like maybe when you're in seventh grade.

That's so I couldn't wait for seventh grade to come around.

Seventh grade came around.

All my mama had me out there looking nasty dogs.

She got me some ride deal.

Cleave.

Some boots.

Dog.

I was just like, I didn't even want to go out there because of it.

And then on the first day of practice, we had this forty five degree tackling drill.

This is probably legal nowadays.

You know, I'm the running back.

I played running back and cornerback when I first started playing.

So I'm just running down the sideline and big old de line coming down.

Brandon Murphy come down and tackle me.

He's like two hundred pounds.

I'm probably like buck something, you know.

So that's first their practice, and I'm like, damn, I really want to do this.

This football is right here.

So I almost quit on my first day, and then you know, I stuck to it and got me some better cleats.

Hey, but cal you were saying these kids now, I'm talking about they looking like they finish go playing the NFL rips out, spat it up all that like all them layers me spat it up now, even a sorry one.

I mean that's to be expected though, because.

And the reason why, I mean it was a little bit like that like back in the day, because i mean, look at the way media is nowadays.

Skid it all.

And then on top of that, you know.

The the the culture in the league or just like the rules, you know, they're a little bit more relaxed where guys can allow you to have a little more drilling, you know, allow you to have like this color coded you know, the color the same color cleats and the gloves.

He's not allowed us do that.

We have to wear like black cleats and like maybe blue or black gloves white.

You know, now you can do whatever.

You know, there's a lot more freedom behind ITPEC couldn't.

Yeah, you couldn't even fine.

You get fine for spatting unless you have total socks and ship.

Yeah, two tones all that.

It's be ugly, you know.

Now it's just it's it's one tone sock.

Whatever you want to do now, color you God damn, I cauldn't wait.

Rainbow cleats and ship.

October they getting everybody got the pink spots on all that type of stuff.

You could do what you want to do, man, they said.

Nico Harrison was spotted out in Dallas after the Lakers just beat Dallas.

Hey, I'll tell you another thing.

ESPN bro, look at Nico Harrison.

Boy, you better get the.

Hell on no, they ran him out the club like that.

No, he probably somebody probably said, you know how them fans be what?

Bro?

ESPN posts that A D and Lebron didn't dap up each other.

Bro, he dapped a D up first.

Somebody had to show the full clip.

But it's like, why would you even put that message out like that?

Man?

They need these views, bro, first story in the views.

Man, know what it is?

Yeah, but we have doing it though.

Yeah, A D look like he miserable too.

Are they playing good Dallas?

Look like I don't see them and they still missing Jaylen William he come back to night that ship Detroit Piston's playing good still?

Yeah?

Fifteen and four?

Oh hell yeah?

Outside of like playing football, How was Detroit for you though?

Like you enjoyed the city?

When I first moved to Detroit, murder capital.

You know, you didn't go downtown.

You know, you see tumbleweeves downtown.

It was not the place to be, you know.

And over the last ten years, man, there's been so much investment.

You know, billionaire has been invested in the town.

People have just been invested in real estate.

And it's been a whole flip flop in the culture downtown.

Goddamn.

But what it does gravitate, You gravitate towards.

That, you know, when things are going well and Detroit being the town that it is a heavy sports town and them moving all the sports back downtown.

They moved football back downtown, they moved.

Basketball back to Town and Arbor or.

Auburn Hills.

You know, they had it up there all bringing all those things back downtown and brought a bunch of jobs downtown and brought people back downtown with all the investments.

And you know, the restaurant see is great.

You know you see white people walking their dollars at night.

You know when you see that, you know, yeah, things coming back around.

And then we had the Draft.

When we had the Draft, I think that was a we got an a on our report card and people really got to see Detroit in different light at that time.

That was at the Fox.

What was it at the Fox with the draft?

Yeah?

Man, the Draft was everywhere in Detroit.

They had like they had so many different locations.

But the main thing was on campus Marshes and like, I ain't never seen that many people in one.

Spot in my life.

It's like four hundredousand people.

I love the enforced gentrification on you.

I'm walking down Gresham Road.

I said, y'all white, but let us start start changing when you see that anytime they start a bike lane, Oh, Nigga.

Is on the way.

It's on the way bike lane for Shore Troy.

Yeah.

I don't been, uh you not in the last five I know you.

I've been last Yeah.

I've been in Detroit two times, and summers.

Sometimes the best time.

They don't believe me, Cam, I said, go downtown.

It's nice, bro.

But see when bab was saying Detroit is nice.

Y'all saw when it won nice, So you gotta think this.

I'm seeing it like cool.

But y'all saw what you saying, Like, y'all don't seen the draft When I've seen it, I was like that ship nice.

It's like you're coming from Like I get that.

But I love Detroit people though, you know what I'm saying, Like people, bro.

That's the thing I love the most about this is the people.

Man.

People from the Westerners like they're from Michigan.

You know, they locked in the Mischigan.

They got their roots in Michigan.

And that's the good thing.

You got people that just they're grinding, you know, they ain't there, don't know, you know, just you know, short terms it.

You got people that are there that invested.

In like Detroit.

I know they mean and West, but they give like a different type of like a southern type of feel like they like they greet, they'll greet you and stuff like that.

You compare it to like the New York and the Chicago, you know, like those man, Yeah, Detroit like there they.

Went into the half though.

Yeah, I already told you can't.

You ain't gonna beat on how you stayed with field goals.

It's sixteen nine.

For what refree?

Come on, man, that's smelling sack right, that's.

You don't know what that referee said to him.

Man, that's just smelling saft y'all better calm down on that ship.

Boy.

Huh Dan he did graise his nose.

He brought he brought him pumpkin by pumpkin pie better than sweep potato.

Hey, I had the best pumpkin pie.

No listen listening.

I am a huge proponent of sweep I make my own sweet tato poe.

I would never make if I made two of them Thanksgiving.

But I did have this really good one from Costco.

It was Costco.

It was Costco.

Oh, it was so good.

It wasn't a good sweet potato, but it was actually good.

No, man, that's all they don't do sweep potato up North Man like that.

It's all all pumpkin different if you don't know how to make it yourself.

Get a love.

Cowboys and the Lions play Thursday.

Who y'all got?

Come on, man, you know you know you know what I'm doing.

Came out for lost.

I feel like the Lions do for saying I for one against we need to get an offense going.

If the offense goal, we win my one.

My boy one had a key drop to that everybody overlooked because.

He had what was hurt.

It was not gonna be out again too.

It's gonna be out for what I got the Cowboys.

I got Cowboys.

Hey, what's the name.

Was missing a lot of passes, but there was some tough catches to the Detroit receive it, and he stepped up.

Jason Nah Kennedy, I gotta look it up.

Well know, you got a number on them.

I'm gonna look it up, and you.

I think who else is playing?

Tesla?

Tesla and there Kennedy, jameson.

Man.

Green Bay did their job was zero.

Bottom line.

They did not let that boy get loose at all.

I mean when when that when that once Michael Parsons he had the quarterback early in off, Yeah he got three sides.

But yeah, man, that.

Was especially that that won late though it's a really good game.

Late in the game, when he got when they had after they had drove down the field and he had made that sack.

If we don't keep Jered clean, man, he gets a little you know, you get a little anxious back there.

Bears, we got Bears, Packers.

Oh this all Thursday.

No, I'm just games coming up.

I like the Bears.

I can't go against the Bears right now, Bros and Beers.

That's right there, the Bears packed at home.

I go to the Packers, y'all.

Boy finally got him one arch arch Manning got him.

You know what's crazy.

I struck gold on it.

I got some money on that, like put plus which is plus one thirty six.

But them the games.

You win, though at home, defeated at home.

You know Texas A and M.

You beat a team like that, now your name should be brought up.

What Texas defense played great?

Yeah, Texas Texas, well, we talked about them since Ohio State how good that defense was.

So it's not surprising.

Marcel Reeds a great quarterback, but they've been, you know, criticized for beating lackluster opponents all season.

So to go into Texas, I just off the RiPP didn't think they had a strong enough team to goddamn do it.

And Archie Manning is getting better by the week.

So there's much Ship that I talked about him.

He as well, Hey, he's learning.

That's throwing.

He's gonna grow from it.

He's learning and growing.

Look like to me, well ball, you don't work.

Ship, he did did one more, he said, popp he popped in and he popped out.

I don't know the shifted, I said, oh, Ship.

He's learning, man, Yeah, he's learning.

They make the playoffs slow down, no, no, no, three losses.

I don't know how many teams going to the playoffs right, twelve?

Two?

Yes, Well, can you do matter favor?

Can we bring them the top and.

Then I know they got that right there though.

What that just said on rake Kentucky by three overtime be on rake Mississippi State in overtime lost right there?

That's not and they look at all that, they look at all that.

Helping it all.

Yeah, don't they shouldn't jump jump Indiana come from y'all see that coming this year.

But they got some dogs on that a Calvin.

You saw that that receiver from Indiana, all that catch one that's against state state number three.

Did you see that game winning catch?

Yeah?

He did that little too.

Fridady catch you the year right now, Bro, show him that ball.

I may I agree, Friday, catch you the year.

But now they got talent all.

Y'all got at championship.

Ship bucking on Georgia.

Hey, I don't, bro, I don't know what it is about Kurby going against Alabama.

It's like, can I.

Take Georgia just didn't look good yesterday, Bro, don't.

I don't know if it was us we played that good, but that was a rival game.

Seventy I can't get over that weapon.

Excuse me, gunners stocked and throwing the ball for seventy yards.

I can't get over and get a black quarterback in Georgia.

Well overdue, yeah wo man, well over.

Calvin a quarterback?

You you know, like you you played all your years in Detroit.

Who a quarterback?

You know what I mean, you wish already?

That's easy.

You?

Man.

I always said, this is Aaron Rodgers.

I played him twice, played against him twice a year.

I got to see it first hand.

Yeah, and I just think about I mean, he can make all the throws.

He could throw the bullet, he could throw that fat you know, just easy, just easy to catch ball.

He put it on you like, just the accuracy I saw, and just many times he just broke our hearts, you know.

And seeing now, I was just like, man, he always come over every game, hell married to he come over to the sideline.

He was like, hey, come join us.

You know the way these contracts work.

But yeah, and then that's the one that broke the heart the most.

You know.

There was this game where he had the hell Mary against this and like we called the time out and usually we practiced this all the time.

I go back, I'm the one in the back of the end zone to knock the ball down and intercept it.

And they pulled me off the field because there was like, you know, it's like a seventy yard brow you know, like he ain't gonna make it that far.

We're gonna to play regular defense.

You just come out.

They ain't gonna make that.

I don't want you to get hurt or something.

Just miss.

Look at this right here.

Look at this ship right here, folk man.

Seventy.

It was probably.

Look that's that's the seventy.

That's seventy.

Look at that.

That's supposed to be me back there intercepting the ball.

He's knocking that much.

They thought they thought he's gonna do something short and they're gonna do all the little lateral stuff.

And was in Detroit.

You're talking about that hurt.

Indeed, look at me act like yeah, I'm getting on.

Talking about that hurd.

So Aaron, we just knew we had that game.

That's just one where you just we already on the sideline like good job.

Ad game.

But that would have been a team I meant, well, quarterback you would have wanted to play for.

Mm hmm, well how was he he was?

He's one of them coaches that you run to the wall for, you know, father figure.

You know, he was the first.

I had three different kind of coaches in Detroit.

I had Rob Mary Nelly who kind of like, you know, put the onus on his coordinators to kind of be up front and do all the work.

Then I had Jim Swartz, who was up front and boisterous, you know.

And then I had Cardwell who was just like, you know, put it on you as far as accountability, you know, put it on you that way, like like like like those conversations you have with your father.

You know, he ain't cussing you out.

You know, you're having a man and man conversation with him.

You know, he meaning you know exactly, you know, he mean business and like I said, just having that kind of relationship with him, everybody had that personal, you know, fatherlight relationship with him.

Those kind of people like you run to the wall for.

You know.

He have the coaching or the playing experience like like a Dan Campbell and those guys that played in the league.

But he kept it real with you, you know he did.

He wanted to kind of takeing favorites and all that because players through all that stuff.

Oh he got to catch right here, catch it the year bro third and go thirty six.

Seconds left, you get both of them down, almost like he got both of them down.

That should catcher the year like that?

Ain't nothing close right now?

Game winner?

Yeah, you were just talking about what made me think.

That was a nasty little toe tap right there.

And those are just not deserve to win the Heisman Trophy and the you know, and this is compared to the last five quarterbacks to win.

Who gets the funk about it?

Look, look, people, look at them.

It's the impact.

Come on, bro, that's my valuable player.

Like this the most valuable playoff to this team.

If you take this play away, this team won't be.

She Now Indiana is eleven, and motherfucking it's Indiana, Indiana.

Bro, you got to convince me.

Mm hmm yeah fuck the impact?

Yeah that what is about the impact?

I never seen Indiana being good ever, never ever ever heard.

Before we get into QB one with regiball, where can they find this primitive cannabis at.

So well, we're licensed and governed in Michigan, So anytime you're in Michigan, we're in a one.

Hundred plus stores in Michigan.

If you ever in southwest Michigan are stores in Niles.

We're looking to it spending that had another store on the east side of the state closer to Detroit right now, but that.

Is the way you find It's like say anywhere.

We're in one hundred plus stores in Michigan, so you can find us around Michigan.

And then we also have a CBD line you go to online.

So Primitive Performance it's really solid.

Man.

We're partnered up with we've been partner We've been able to partner with.

The Detroit Tigers, you know, because we got we have our NSF for Sports certification, which allows professional and collegiate athletes to use our product without fear of getting popped for any kind of performance drug.

So that was a huge barrier for us to cross.

But the reason we did it though, because like we were used to using the products like the icy hots, bio freeze and stuff like that, it gives you the heating and the cooling effect, but it has no kind of anti inflammatory component where it actually provides healing.

So that's what we want to bring.

Yeah, we can add to the heating and cooling and do all that stuff that's easy, but really want to heal.

So that's the reason why we made that product.

Why you on that subject, like do you think like with athletes, like sometimes they you know, do you think that all help prevent them from retiring early?

Well, the key is, I mean the biggest key is promoting anti information and the reason guys when guys get injured, that inflammation is really the key, the thing that keeps them off the field.

So when the knee is messed up, you know, it's information that's in the need that stops you from being in your knee and being as productive and powerful as you want to be.

So if you can attack information, precursor the pain, the precursor.

To all of a lot of our problems.

If you can attack information, then you're gonna get your players back on the feel faster.

At the end of the day, you reduce information, they get back to the feel faster.

Talking about straight up, I only know that because I had the fortunate of being around So when we got into the reason why, you know, it ain't for us our company, it ain't like, you know, just all about money.

It ain't like the gorilla with the blend in his mouth type deal.

You know, this thing's about science.

For us, you know, we had the fortune of being It's like Harvard and Dana Farber, John Hawkins upn So we're able to see behind the scene science and how they're using cannabis and other plant medicines to actually heal and curb tumors.

So that's why our perspectives are different in how we approach it.

Dope, dope, you'd be one no pundent.

We ain't gonta do it today.

Look at the receiver.

Man viving with my favorite.

That's the qub we want for the day.

I brought y'all my number one target, Magga.

That's hard Broy'll r ready tell you about.

You know, you would have made the team in Detroit, dog if you ain't fun your y man.

I remember watching you, just just seeing it about.

It was a dig.

Yes, I was so.

Sean Jefferson shout out to the O G.

Sean jeff was our wide receiver coach and long story short wing like our quarterback situation.

So I was everywhere I was on kickoff, unt return, anything, everything.

The only thing I didn't do is play defense in camp, and for those two years I was up there.

So that Seawan Jefferson was like, hey, man, breaget some snapshet quarterback.

I said, what so that day I started doing Pact and Gold with the receivers instead of a quarterback coming down there.

I started warming up the receivers and the defensive side, Ernie Simms, Anthony Cannon.

They actually start going fucking crazy a little bit, so everybody's kind of geeked to see me get some reps at quarterback.

Ship got the one on ones later on that day, had a dig wrap Ship.

I just remember hearing that motherfucking pop and this is the fright.

We had a preseis game in two days.

It was coming up.

We were right in for the season.

Yeah, it was a wrap though it was already I was on the fifty three, just fucking.

Like need to need with somebody who was I don't forget who was.

It was a dB from v Tech.

I forget his name.

I think it was like what I hated that nigga?

Yeah, good people though, bro.

Yeah, but nah man, it worked out, Yeah, everything worked out.

Yeah then y'all still you know what I mean, solid.

Is about you miss the most about like anything.

I mean, life happens, your kids, family and all that, but nobody missed running around hitting the weights.

What you miss is is a camaraderie, the locker room, the vibe, and you know, hanging out.

That's what you missed the most about just any of your teams that you're own.

You know.

So I'm in Detroit, you know, even though I'm in the truck, I get some of the guys around, but I don't get to hang out.

None of my tech guys, and most of them guys are either here in Atlanta or you know, just spread out.

Just any time you get to get back with the guys, man, it's always good man, because you know, whether it's you know, one year, two year, five years, you ain't seen.

Each other because that college.

Pick up here.

Sometimes where they have the Lions games, you'll see him every blue moon, like they are paying the camera.

But it's like like this nigga retired and really disappeared.

Trying to tell you he always been like that, like low key bomb man Bro, that's why I'm surprised that he's even in those into our exhaustion today.

I'm like, you ain't, bro, because you asked dogum a dub man.

Yeah, that's ain't no problem.

That's how I know my dog comfortable, you know what I mean, because he ain't gonna let that go out down around there for sure.

A couple of people he's just like.

And they probably was a fan of your So I.

Got the opportunity, man, It's one of the dopest opportunities I've had, was to go to Obama and them going out party at the White House.

So I got to meet like a little bit of everybody there, you know, Samuel L.

Jackson, you know that was that was like obviously Obama like that was like just chopping it up with him.

And I had a couple of opportunities to do that.

Man, he's just does anybody you want to smoke with?

Like that's somebody like put on my list, you know, one of those guys asked him questions.

But cool man, Me and my wife got into an argument that of so stupid ship.

Were sitting in there and it's a dance party, like everybody live, like everybody there, everybody there.

Man, we in there dancing.

Wife he said something to me.

I got pissed, like she didn't like my dancing, and I got I got a little pride.

You know, I just came off of Dancing with the Stars.

I made it to the finals and Ship, so.

I like I could do a little something that's act for I got a little mad, you know.

I got into my feelings and ship and the funny thing it was so small, it's so stupid.

And then I guess Obama must saw it was a little bit.

He saw the.

Energy, you know.

He came over here, like what's going on and then like obviously I ain't tell him because it's just stupid ship.

I was like, you know, but he didn't have to go far.

He's just like, hey, man, you know, life is short.

You know.

He just said something simple, life is short, you know, and just you know, kept him moving.

He's like, figure the ship out, and you probably would have.

Been real with him and Tony like.

You know, smoke.

One last year doing common when she was having her little thing.

He came to Detroit, so I had a chance to talk.

To him again.

He said exactly that, because I told him about the whole situation, and I told him what he did because I had a wife and next to me and we're just cracking up about it, and he said something just like that.

That's crazy, bro.

Now I'm telling that gonna be your biggest help and your biggest critic is your old lady brow.

She talked good about you when you ain't around.

It's just when you're there.

You can't.

You can't be at the top all the time.

You know, your head down.

Yeah, try to humble the real one.

And you know what, that's the funny thing, man.

Everybody used to always be like, you know, why you ain't more flashy while you don't talk ship all that kind of stuff, Why i'd be thusting you tired you're working?

But it was always from me.

I was a kid.

Every time I got high on myself, it was always something to bring that down.

It's always my family though, you know what I'm saying, So I would never like, I just know anytime you know I showed my ass.

I'm gonna get humble.

So I just keep it, keep it even killed, you know, good time, bad time.

Just keep it here.

Like with you being so like, you know, cool, like laid back, like like what what you what you do to pull your wife?

Then you said my wife.

Yeah that was different.

Man.

I was out.

I was out of character.

I was really out of.

So.

First things first, I first met her.

So she ended up in an interning the Detroit Lyons my second year.

So she was over on the sideline and Roy Williams was like, you know, we got these boys called camp eyes, you know where you see your dudes all company and you see anything.

It could be like.

Butter ahead you just like you know you're walking, you know, so forgive us.

But so so saw her and I'm like, dawg, like she's fine, my boy.

Roy's like, I bet you won't go say nothing to her.

No, we're so petty.

And I was like, hell, yeah, bet better hunted, you know, better hunted.

So I went up at to practice sugar hands to the glove all, you know, introduced myself and then you know, after that, tried to holler at us.

She was like I ain't got nothing for you.

I know you in these streets.

You know, basically, that's exactly what she said to me.

Long story short.

Five years later, were both working at the Lions.

We always see each other games, were crossing each other, everybody trying to hook us up, from my coaches, friends and all that.

Since then, you had still wanted her.

I still I still did, but she always you know, I was in these streets, so she wouldn't give me no time.

We was hanging out and stuff like that, but she wouldn't really give me the time of day.

So funny thing.

Long SoC short fighters later, all both in Miami.

Random, you know, we see each other in Miami.

She down there for a birthday trip.

I want my boys just hanging out, and you know, we kind of link up, you know, vibing.

We kind of go to the club and ship and I started acting out the character dog.

I brought a whole birthday Kate to the club.

I brought a whole birthday k to the club.

You know, lit that thing, same happy birthday in the club and live and stuff.

You know, it was it was cool though, you know, long story stort, I mean, looking back, you know those are the moves that you know kind of you know, seal the deal, just like because she wouldn't see any it was out of character for me to do those things.

So she was like, oh, he must really.

Yeah with me showing showing a differences up.

I messed it up and had a kid, you know, out of out of wed lot before you know, Will was kind of messed around, had the kid, you know, a high school sweetheart, and that almost really messed it up.

That booked the whole thing.

And so she didn't even mess with me for like a minute after that.

You know, I was I was just begging, you know, for you know, just for a time and her friends and stuff like.

It was tried to break.
