3:50
something about you that you
3:52
rediscovered that you love about
3:54
yourself and you said i'm gonna tap
3:56
right back into that i kind of left it
3:58
alone like i remembered how much i used
4:00

man i love this conversation man and i
5:05
love that you expressing it and
5:06
especially as a black men you know these
5:09
kind of conversations i think need to be
5:11
in the forefront we we've all gone
5:13
through some things i've shared some
5:15
things that i i've gone through and and
5:17
i looked at myself a few times and uh
5:20
some of the things i didn't like what i
5:21
saw man and um and i and initially i
5:24
didn't really know how to approach it
5:27
how to
5:28
better it yeah you know what i mean and
5:30
then also i didn't learn how to accept
5:33
it for what it was you know what i mean
5:35
and move forward some of the things i
5:37
didn't like about myself was a part of
5:39
who i am right so i had to figure out
5:41
how to reverse it man and and then even
5:45
then share it with family members that's
5:47
it right did you share who was you
5:49
sharing this process your journey with
5:51
no you know what um my kids literally
5:54
okay talking to my kids uh i got five
5:56
older brothers having a conversation
5:58
with them trying to find out like hey
6:00
you know i'm in a better position than
6:02
y'all are you guys here yeah cause if
6:09
i feel like i live a good life let's
6:11
talk bro yeah let's sit down let's talk
6:13
about what i'm saying let's let's talk
6:14
about this let's let's you know we we're
6:17
going to talk about sports and we're
6:18
going to talk about movies and we're
6:20
going to talk about but let's let's
6:21
really talk about like where you at
6:23
where you at really like mentally where
6:25
you at you're good you're all right you
6:28
cool like really having those
6:29
conversations and um and and genuinely
6:32
being concerned about your brethren
6:35
whether they're your real brother or
6:37
just a brother yeah ooh ooh i like that
6:40
mark my man marshall faulk is here man
6:42
that was a ball he just dropped the bar
6:43
he'd like to throw a beat on man you rap
6:46
sound like you got bars man you wrapped
6:48
it too hey man when you look at the nfl
6:50
now um
6:52
what what what what kind of progress
6:54
have you seen we we caught we constantly
6:56
talk about what's wrong with the nfl but
6:58
what do you think is right with the nfl
6:59
right yeah you know what and that and
7:01
that's good because i think that they've
7:03
made they've made leaps and bounds and
7:05
what they've done uh they're allowing
7:07
the players to have fun they've they've
7:10
they made the game too apparent if you
7:12
have a young kid you look at the game of
7:13
football you're actually okay i'm okay
7:16
with my kid playing this game not the
7:18
barbaric game that i played yeah when
7:20
they were when they were going out the
7:21
head
7:22
you know what i was saying when when
7:23
knocking you out of the game was a badge
7:25
honor yeah you know it's it's a
7:26
different game now and and i believe
7:28
they've done that the entertainment
7:31
aspect of the gaming and what they're
7:33
bringing to the table let's just say
7:35
who's performing in a stadium come on dr
7:38
dre
7:39
people don't even understand like people
7:40
people like oh yeah
7:42
they don't understand
7:47
used to be like and it did not it was
7:49
not for us although we were spending the
7:52
same monies for tickets in the stadium
7:55
we weren't it wasn't our cultured
7:57
entertainment and to have that that's a
7:59
huge advancement in this
8:03
you know
8:04
there's 32 owners yeah 31 of them are
8:06
others
8:07
you know what i'm saying and and then
8:09
there's there's one minority so you got
8:12
who playing in here yeah man that's i
8:14
like that man i'm excited about that
8:16
that's a big step man i meant 90 percent
8:18
of the people watching is watching for
8:19
that halftime absolutely come on man
8:23
hey so um
8:24
is this a rhetorical like silly question
8:26
to ask who you got in the game uh
8:28
somewhat somewhat but you know just
8:31
just just
8:32
we love a honest man i mean
8:36
you know i walk up here i i should just
8:38
have like a horn on my head because
8:40
cause i am a ram but
8:42
um i just
8:44
the the stars have aligned you know and
8:47
and they made the right moves to get
8:49
here and here's what i'm gonna say
8:52
if there's ever a person
8:54
that can that can rise to the occasion
8:56
and slay the moment yeah joe burrow is
8:58
that guy
9:00
he has the pedigree to do it the
9:02
question is is the moment too big
9:05
or
9:06
do the rams have too much firepower
9:09
that's and we're going that's literally
9:11
what we're watching to see we are we're
9:14
that that's what's going to be answered
9:16
you got me excited about today just like
9:18
that
9:19
uh i want you to talk a little bit about
9:21
the foundation for a drug-free world
9:23
yeah and now that you get involved yeah
9:25
so um just just in being from new
9:27
orleans understanding growing i grew up
9:28
in the projects desire projects
9:30
nightboard and i saw drugs my whole life
9:33
man but wasn't i really didn't know i
9:35
wasn't really educated on it i just knew
9:37
to stay away from it and
9:39
you know i made the decision like that
9:41
wasn't for me and that's in for still in
9:44
life it's not for me i don't hate on
9:46
people if that's if that's your thing
9:48
the only thing i'm always about i'm big
9:50
on education in everything that we do
9:53

9:56
anything educate yourself before you
9:57
just decide to do things and find out is
9:59
