And we are here at the Double R event
0:02
I got two special guests right now live with Law Nation Sports
0:08
We're going to start with the lovely lady to the far right and then work ourself to the middle
0:12
I am Jazz Monet. Yeah, come on with me. With Cowboys Wire of USA Today and Yahoo Sports

Yes, it did. Now, the infamous, beautiful lady in the middle. Tell people who you are
0:31
I'm Cherise Parsons, Michael Parsons' mother. Michael Parsons' mother. And what brings you out to this wonderful occasion event tonight
0:38
I came out to network. You came out to network? Meet some new people, hang out, get out the house a little bit
0:43
Let me fix you a little bit. There you go. Thank you. Yeah. All right. So are you enjoying yourself right now at the moment
0:48
Yes. It's a nice event. A lot of people here. Good food, good music, you know, the old school music
0:54
Old school. I punch them in the nose when I hit them in the hip. You know, none of that rap music like that, right
1:02
But with that being said, name me one of the people that you were shocked to meet tonight
1:10
I don't even know the name. Oh, you met the shelf a few seconds ago, right
1:15
The shelf? They met me. Yeah, you met Jazz. Nice to meet you
1:19
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Yeah, yeah. And it's always good to see you out at these types of events
1:27
It's networking. It's putting a face to a name and all of that great stuff
1:31
And we are in front of some beautiful cars. Yes. I told my son to buy me that Bentley over there
1:38
He said I got dementia. You got dementia. I got dementia. You know
1:43
He said I lost my mom. He said, Mom, come on down
1:48
Just wait for that new deal to come through. That new deal
1:52
Ask again. You said, I ain't spending that much money on no car. That's good discipline
1:58
I read that there's 82 to 84 percent of football players, four years after they retire, become flat broke
2:06
Have you heard that statistic? Yes. Yes, you heard it. Well, let me tell you
2:10
Break it down. Break it down. That would not be Micah Aaron Parsons. Come on. He is, I guess, I ain't going to say tight because he do, you know, do stuff
2:20
He do spend money, but he's very particular what he's spending his money on and how much money he's spending
2:25
Right. And on top of that, he's always on his grind. Yeah, always on his grind
2:29
He's like his mom. I was grinding. Grinding. He learned that principle from mom
2:34
Mama said, and that's where I go by it. What mama say is what I would do
2:39
Jazz, what you have for Mama Parsons? I'm just going to call you Mama Parsons
2:42
Is that okay? I'm from Mississippi, so y'all got to understand my southern drawl here
2:47
Mama Parson said what she said. I mean, I'm from Louisiana. It's Mama Parson for me too
2:52
Come on with it. Speaking of Micah's grind, I'm just curious, like
2:58
when he got this role with Bleacher Report, because I think the athletic side everybody saw coming, you know
3:05
but him having this role with Bleacher Report not just as a podcaster but having a role in how they roll out their podcasts
3:11
and conduct their social media. Like, was that a surprise to you? Like, is that something that you're particularly proud of
3:16
Yes. I didn't even know it was even coming. He told me, like, I think maybe like a couple days before they actually announced it
3:23
He was like, Mom, I got something big coming out. I was like, what is it? And then he told me, but I'm proud of him because, you know
3:29
he's the first one to ever be able to do something like that. So, you know, that's huge. That's a big deal
3:34
Did you see him as a talker growing up, like as somebody who might have his own podcast
3:38
No. And actually, he's still not really a talker. People think he's a talker, but... What
3:43
No, he's not. When he's, like, home, he don't really like to talk too much
3:48
He just likes to just chill, play on his Xbox, play with the kids, stuff like that
3:54
He's not really a big talker. You could ask me questions and just be like, Mom, I don't play talker right now
3:59
I don't want to talk about work. So here's why that's hard to believe
4:03
Because I follow both Micah and Terrence on Twitter. and it seems like they both have a knack for clapping back at people who have a particular opinion
4:12
So I'm just like, it feels like there's something in the Parsons DNA, like a clapback gene or something
4:19
Yeah. I don't know. Was that not a thing growing up? Well, Terrence, he's always been combative
4:24
Okay. That's how he is. But Micah, he's not combative. Wait, he's like the speaking truth
4:29
No. He's not competitive though. He's competitive in everything, but he's not combative
4:34
He ain't gonna keep arguing with you about anything. Okay. That explains a lot. Yeah
4:38
He just speak whatever he feel his truth is and he just let it go Can I ask you about a personal situation Sure I was interviewing Terrence this morning and you said this is live Law right
4:50
No, no, no. We just pre-recorded right here. Okay, because this part hasn't come out yet
4:55
He was talking about how him getting into trouble put a strain on his relationship with Micah
5:00
because he didn't realize Micah looked up to him. Yeah, he did
5:04
And I was just wondering what you remember from that time period and what it was like having your two boys
5:10
And, like, did you observe that? And how did you handle that as a mom? Well, one thing about it was when Micah saw, like
5:17
Terrence was doing dumb stuff, getting in trouble, and he was like, Mom, I do not want to be like that
5:23
Fair enough. So I think, you know, he learned from watching, like, his brother make the mistakes that he made. Right
5:29
And he knew that what he wanted for his life and his future, that he wasn't going to make those mistakes that his brother did
5:34
Did you encourage them to reconcile, or did they kind of find their way back to each other on their own
5:39
No, they wasn't ever, like, separated. You know, they still talked. But, you know, when Terrence was, you know, incarcerated and things like that
5:45
So he wasn't like when Micah first went to Penn State, he missed that whole season
5:52
He missed Micah's whole rookie season because he was in trouble. So, you know, he missed a lot of, like, good football time
5:59
Okay. I can understand that. But I kind of like the fact that they reconciled on their own
6:03
and kind of, like, renewed that connection. Now, when it comes to Micah and situations like what happened with D-Long
6:09
and social media, does that get back to you? Oh, I see everything. I'll be watching it
6:13
Mama knows all. She sees all. I'll be all this morning. Grabbing that mic right there
6:21
The mic, yeah, yeah. Underneath. Yeah. Yeah, you can be an observer
6:25
You can listen in. Come on, get in on this. Get in on this, too. But I'll be leaning
6:29
I'll be seeing it. Come on with it. I'll be like, I'll just be laughing because it's like
6:34
It's funny how people can criticize somebody and don't even know them
6:39
or even know their intentions of what their comments are. Because his comments can be coming from a good place
6:44
but people turn it into negativity a lot. That does happen a lot with Micah
6:49
I've seen that. Because it's like a lot of stuff that I was like, I'll see, and I'm like, that's not a big deal
6:54
But then it turns into like whole headlines. And I was like, people could talk about his podcast, but let me tell you
7:02
The podcast don't affect nothing that he does. Trust me. He don't really have to do a lot with the podcast
7:07
The only thing he's got to do is go on and talk. Bleacher Report comes and set everything up
7:11
Oh, they do that? They do everything. Did you see what I had to do? He don't do nothing
7:16
Tell Bleacher Report, just give me $5 and $5 and hit me set up over here
7:20
Come on with it. You see me sweating and putting this stuff together, it's good
7:23
We just need a little bit of the budget. Just a little bit of the budget. You don't want to do none of that. They fly a girl in from Atlanta
7:31
Yeah. Wow. Every day, she comes in two hours before Mikey would do his podcast. Get out of here
7:35
He sets up everything, do everything. Only thing, when she say, I'm ready, he just go and sit down
7:39
He do his little conversation. He get up and she do everything else. You know what the good thing about all of this is that two things
7:46
One being his first take or ESPN, they reached out to him
7:52
and they wanted him to be on the show. And we revolted. We were like, no
7:56
No, it was FS1. FS1. Okay, FS1. Let's get it right. Because it was Skip, and everybody was like, nah, we don't mess with Skip
8:03
Cowboy Jesus does not mess with Skip. I'll take Parsons Show over him being on that, excuse my friends, mess any day, right
8:12
Yeah. The other side of it, this Mama Parsons, is that I would take the fact that he's doing podcasting
8:20
versus being out there on the streets. Me too. racing cars out there in the clubs, throwing money and wands at them
8:28
that go down the pole. You know what I'm saying? So I love the fact that, and by the way, there's nothing wrong with that
8:35
I'm not casting excursions. I'm not trying to hurt the strippers' money or the pockets over here
8:41
but I just glad that. Tip your dancers. Yeah, tip your dancers, man. Double tip them, by the way, and throw some wands at them and say
8:47
that's on me, Law. But what I'm getting at is basically I like that
8:52
Yeah, me too. Yeah, but I'm not used to it, but I would take it
8:56
You get what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean, I'm not mad that he'd get home. I'm telling you, besides him being out there working, he's coming home. Yeah
9:04
Because, like, people don't understand, like, an athlete, first of all. Right. A lot of times he leaves the house, what, 6 o'clock in the morning
9:11
Correct. He's gone. He come back, well, like, around 5, 6 o'clock at night
9:15
It all depends on the day. By the time he get home, he gets some food, some hours, you know, play with the kids a little bit
9:21
He get therapy, he got a massage person come to the house and get a massage he got the IV lady coming Okay No but I like that he takes care of himself He goes through a lot of these games Taking care of your body is so important
9:36
I got Parsons right here. Let's go, man. I got him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got him right here
9:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that. Because, you know, I see the headlines
9:46
People are like, oh, he need to focus on football. Well, he do get some downtime afterwards
9:51
but by the time he gets home during the season, and he do his treatment and everything
9:57
it's sometimes 8, 9 o'clock at night. He go to bed, get up and start all over again
10:01
So it's like you don't have a lot of extra time to do all the extra stuff
10:06
I'm greedy. I went and got two of them. Now, Terrence was telling me that all the siblings like to stay close to one another
10:14
so that they can kind of help each other. What he said was it takes a village because they all have kids
10:20
Is that something that you encouraged or is that something that they kind of figured out on their own that it's a good thing to stay close to each other
10:26
Well, as soon as Micah got drafted to Dallas, Terrence, he was the first one down here
10:30
He moved down here. We ended up moving down. My daughter moved down
10:34
My brother moved down. His kids moved down. So, hey, we got like a whole village down here
10:38
So it makes it nice that we're able to get together, have a good time, spend a lot of time with our family and stuff
10:43
So I really like that. No doubt. No doubt. That's good stuff. Oh, look how disrespectful I am
10:49
I got the infamous, the diehard cowboy, fan of the year, fan of the decade
10:59
fan of the century, James Superman in the building. Come on with it
11:06
What's going on, people? What's going on? How you living? Man, give me some, man
11:09
Yes, sir. He even got one of the rings on right now. I just realized you were right
11:14
We did meet before. You know where we met? Training camp, 2023
11:18
Look, 2023. Yeah. She's got a good memory. Good recall. She had to reach back in that
11:25
In Oxnard, 2023, that's where we met. I was like, we met before
11:29
I just couldn't remember where. Couldn't remember where. So how are you enjoying the event today, my brother
11:35
I am enjoying the event. It's very eye-opening and very nicely organized
11:42
I like it. I like it a lot. Which one of these Bentleys are you going to roll out tonight with
11:47
Well, you know, my birthday is coming up. It's coming up, so the light blue one
11:53
The light blue. Yeah, all the way at the end right there. And when I saw it, I started singing
12:01
I don't know. I feel like light blue is more of like a Detroit Lions kind of thing
12:07
That's okay. It's cowboys. We need to find a Navy. A Royal
12:13
They got like a McLaren way down there. Oh, yes. Yes. That was beautiful
12:19
Yes. So any blue that I wear, they're automatically associated with cowboy boots
12:23
Any blue. Automatically. Is that your favorite color? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely
12:27
Blue is my favorite color. And when is your birthday again for those who need to listen and know about that

14:21
I've seen him with the grandbaby and everything, you know. Yes. So, you know, they talk a good game
14:26
So, hopefully, the things that they're looking forward to, it comes to fruition. Right
14:33
It's coming to all the more soon. Did they tell you what they're looking forward to? Uh-huh
14:37
Not really. They didn't give him no specifics. But I can tell you, I think the world of Micah Parsons
14:47
and any time you throw in an event and you got the head coach and the defensive coordinator who's pretty much
14:53
But it was a lot. Offensive coach. Yeah, it was offensive coach there. It was some D-line coaches
14:58
Clayton Adams came too? Yeah, it was a lot of people. It was a linebacker, D-line coach
15:02
I missed the opportunity to speak to that. Yeah, it was a lot of the coaches. Almost all the defensive coaches was there at the both of them
15:07
No, for real? Yeah. Oh, yeah. They blend in. They be quiet
15:11
They be quiet. They was on the other side. They talked about trying to develop more relationships with the players
15:17
and the families and stuff like that. Let me ask you this. Moving on from coaching, how often do you talk to Michael Parsons' agent, David
15:27
Not that often. Not that often. Let me talk to Mama right quick
15:31
Mama. The hell, Michael Parsons, don't do that deal. Tell him I got his best interest
15:38
Did he try to do that until you try to rub that in on you
15:42
Not to me. Okay. Okay. It was worth the shot. But in the party, we've been live for a long time
15:50
Well, recording for a long time, so I don't want this to be too long. We're going to start with you, Jazz
15:56
Any final words to the panel right here? I'm just curious. Just building off my interview with Terrence
16:03
I asked him how he would describe himself to people who only see him as Micah's brother
16:08
So for you, if you had described Terrence to people as something besides Michael Parsons' brother, how would you describe Terrence Parsons
16:17
Well, Terrence, actually Terrence was one of my smartest kids, even though sometimes he'll act like he is
16:24
I can see it. He was one of the smartest ones. You know, he's very compassionate about the cowboys
16:30
He's always been compassionate about his cowboys, his family, his children. So, you know, I mean, he's a good guy, and he loves Cowboy Nation
16:39
Okay, so intelligent, compassion, well-intentioned Cowboys fans. I like it. And he's always been a Cowboys fan
16:46
Always. He stayed in Cowboys. Blue. Cowboys blue. Yes, indeed. And what about you, James
16:52
So, for me, the one thing that she didn't mention was Mike has only been hurt once in his career
16:59
That's a good point. One time in his whole career. With that wood. He's only been hurt
17:02
Yeah, right. Last season. Dang. And he got rolled on. Yeah. And he missed four games out of his college and professional career
17:10
And the crazy part about it, he's been playing football since he's five
17:14
Yeah. Yeah. So, are you saying since he was five, he only had one injury
17:19
One injury, yeah. Wow. He was five. Yep. And he played football every year except for seventh grade year
17:27
Because you know when seventh grade year he had you know he played in the light directly
17:33
He was too big. Too big. He got to tone it down you know
17:37
Yeah the weight limit was like I think like 160, 165. He came in like almost 170 something pounds
17:46
And they was like oh you too big to play. So then that year he played softball
17:51
So has he already always taken care of his body the way that he does now? No
17:56
So that's just natural resilience when it comes to his physicality. Yeah
18:01
Since he stepped in college. Because before, he used to hate working out. Hated
18:05
He hated working out? He hated working out. And it was funny because, you know, game day, oh, he was always going
18:12
Workout, practice, he hated it. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, how did he get there and not work out
18:16
That is wild. He was just naturally gifted. But now I have to admit, he worked out every day
18:22
Every day. Man, that's amazing. Hey, this was a great show. I cannot believe all of the great energy we have here at this event
18:32
And the next one's going to be even grandiose. Grandiose tomorrow. Hey, we going to the Super Bowl
18:38
We going to the Super Bowl. I don't know if we going this year. Let's go. But we going. Let's get it
18:42
Now we see where Micah gets it from. Dow shit and the Crea thing. We're being a pessimist
18:47
Let's go, man. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah, here we go. Here we go
18:52
Oh, that's Dak. That's Dak. Hey, there goes Dak
