I go in on Tuesday and Thursday and get that

of stuff on my own too as well.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
So yeah, just like what you got to do a
you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's how I do it.
Once I find out what they was doing, I do
the same thing on my time off, add a little stuff.
Oh yeah, it's the same thing.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
It's like, you know, like if you only get better
when you go to practice, then you're only gonna be
so good.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know. If you don't do nothing right, then you
won't be that great. You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Right, So, I know a.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Lot of stuff that I need to do here on
my own at my house. And uh, when I get
the therapy, bro, I be rinted.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I be rinted. That's like the highlight of my my week. Yep.
I like it all right, guys, to get into it.
Russell Wilson he clapped back at his former coach Payton
after postgame comments praising Jackson. Dark Let's take a listen
to what Peyton had to say.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
You know, they found a little spark with that quarterback.
I was talking to John Marron not too long ago,
and I said we were hoping that that change would
have happened long, long after our game.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Russ tweeted back, class list but not surprised. Didn't realize
you're still bounty honey, bounty hunting fifteen plus years through
the media. Let's ride now. Sean Payton later responded today
that he was just talking about you know, he was
praising Jackson dark now. He mentioned that he had talked

(06:49):
to John Morra several weeks earlier before they even played,
before they had even made this switch. Got y'all know
I'm Ronco through and through like Sean Payton. I know
Sean Payton. We had a very very close mutual friend,
Mike Orangstein. Mike Ornstein pass away, rest in peace. Yes,

(07:09):
I know Sean very well. No, you didn't have to.
Everybody knows how you feel about Russ. Russ probably feel
the same way, but would never say anything. I'm a
little surprised Russ even responded to this OCHO. But here's
the thing. You will only be able to take so

(07:31):
much because what you see is just like they keep
going and keep going and keep going. And then if
are you weak, you're weak. So Russ responded, I don't
have a problem with Russ. What Russ said, But Sean,
come on now, Ojo, are you surprised? Russ responded, and

(07:55):
are you surprised? This thing is really taking got legs
and kind of like started running on his own.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I like the fact that it has legs. I like
the fact that it has legs. Sean Payton, he already
tried Russ on the sideline. He tried Russ on the sideline,
berating him and talking trash to him, actually provoking Russ,
hoping he would break character, hoping he would show a
different side than who he actually is. He kept calm,

(08:21):
mild manner. Now he takes shotsat him again, Yeah, for
no reason at all. And I love Russell choirboy Wilson.
But I love the fact that he stood he stood
up for himself Russell Wilson, Matthew five thirty nine. In
the Bible, it says turn the other cheek with this time,

(08:42):
Russ said, hen ran out of cheeks. I'm from the
clap back. I'm fin the fire back at you. I'm
finna stand up for myself. And I like him showing
some some enthusiasm and getting in the fire for a
change instead of just letting you know, let it be
Walter off of Duck's back. Man talk yo, shit, Russ.
It's okay, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Guess what what. Ain't no person name Shannon in the
Bible ain't in there. You keep talking back, taking you
cheap shots of me. I'm gonna put something on you.
Come on now, that's what Russy. Remember, remember, oh Joe,
come on rush. At some point in time, enough has
to be enough. You made your point, didn't want me,
You moved on. You have a quarterback in bow Knicks

(09:24):
that seems to be that he's the guy for the
Broncos future. I've gone to too. This is my second
team since I've left the Bronco I ain't bother nobody Russe.
You can like or dislike Russ, But the one thing
that you can't say that he's not bothering anybody now.
He's not talking down, he's not saying anything negative about
anybody never. So my thing is, why, hey, uncle, let

(09:47):
me say uncle Joe Russell Wilson. If you want to
talk about quarterbacks and a way to conduct yourself as
a professional athlete on and off the field, he's a
consonan pro.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
He is the ultimate pro when it comes to doing
your job, going to work, being a family man, being
a husband, doing everything the right way. The fact that
he finally got outside of his character for a change
is exciting for me.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I enjoy it because now, listen, at some point, you
gotta you gotta put a nail in the coffin. Because
you don't put a nail in the coffin, they gonna
keep diggy your grave.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I agree, Then they gonna keep they.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Gonna keep on diggy your grave and keep digging at
you for no reason. There's no reason for and I
know Sean Payton as well, there's no reason for you
to do you know, do that. But you understood, Listen,
I gotta I gotta sit duck. I got a easy duck.
He ain't gonna say nothing, he ain't gonna fire back.
But finally we get a new Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I love this.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I love this Russe Wilson and Russell I know you're
gonna see this. Anybody else say something. You better fire
off of.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
The ass too. Go ahead, Joe, I agree with both
of y'alls.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
I think you know, you know, I think Russe is
is more so like you know, enough is enough? Man,
He ain't said nothing. He's been going by his way,
you know, tending to his business, and they still taking
chief shots, said him. I'm with him, man, I'm glad,
he responded. I'm glad he said something. Be petty, betty,
go back at him. It doesn't matter how mild matter
a person is. Eventually, eventually you look at I mean,

(11:14):
you look at any animal.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
It might be even even the dog. Might you see it.
But after a while, he's gonna lash out at you.
It's going to a lash out because it's only going
to take so much. So he rush felt that. Okay,
former teammates have been taking shots at him, you know, X,
Y and Z and saying all these things, and now
he's like, bro, how much how much more? How much

(11:37):
more crap? Do y'all want to dump on me? And say, man,
y'all just pouring perfume on me? Listen, Souse. At some
point in time, O Joe, enough is enough. You made
your point. Okay, Okay, I'm fine, I get it. I
get it. I didn't I didn't live up to the
expectations that I had the coaching staff, the organization, or

(11:58):
the fan base of Denver. I didn't meet those expectations.
I accept that, but I'm gone, there's no need. There's
no reason for you to mention. You can praise Jackson
Dark without taking a dump on me. Absolutely absolutely, Hey, look, praise,
praise your guy, But why would you have to take

(12:21):
a shot at me and you, Like I said, he
said that he was just praising Jackson Dark. But you
said that you had talked to John Marraw, who's one
half of the owner of the Giants, weeks ago. Even
if he had done that, he could have kept that
to himself. He didn't have to share that, so he
didn't have to share that Old Joe, John Joe, he

(12:43):
could he could have just said what he said, like
you know, and maybe with his coaching staff or with
his close buddies when he's having a drink. I told you,
I told John. I was like, man, I hope y'all
make that, make that change atter us, because it's just
a matter of time. Cool and nobody the way Jackson
Dart is playing. I don't think anybody is upset that
they made this move. I told O Joe, I said,

(13:04):
O Joe, over under eight week, I said, I'm looking
like that, I'm taking the under. Oh just saiting down, don't.
I said, I'm taking the under yeah, because I had
seen enough in I've seen enough in the preseason. I said, Oh, Joe,
they're gonna make this this, make this change sooner than later. Yeah. Yeah,
But I just don't. I don't. I don't. You know,
the continuation of beating down Russ. It's unnecessary. I know

(13:26):
you're excited, Joe. You know, we win a game. Oh, Yoe,
we win a game. Yeah, we hate them? Sorry, yeah,
we beat them, sorry rapp. Yeah, but y'all had them,
didn't thirty three in the fourth thirty three? I get
all that, But come on, now, win? Is enough enough? O?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yoe?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
How how how much am I supposed to take? I
like it? Hey?

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Matter of fact, he should have cursed in the tweet.
I should have cursed go go all the way there.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It wasn't enough for you.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Now even listen.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I like it, he listen.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
He fired back, but he fired back in a professional manner. Hey, Russ,
next time, man, man, man, what I put? Let me
put your tweet together. I put your tweet together for you.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Hell dog, Hey.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Listen, But but what was it about? Why would Sean
Payton bring that up? Honestly, like, when did they have
to do with anything?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Listen, this is all about the privileges that was bestowed
the pun Russ before Sean Payton got there. I said
some things and everybody called me a lie. I was
talking to me and Oh Joe and I was having
a conversation, and everybody wanted to tell me, Shanna, you
don't know what's going on because you're not there. I say,
you do realize I'm still held in very very high

(14:43):
regard in Denver. Right, you actually think I would say
something like this and it not be the gospel. I say, hey,
I'm Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. When I speak about
something coming out of Denver or Baltimore, it's the gospel.
I don't don't really talk too much about it because
they know. But they try to undermine me. They try

(15:05):
to say, you not in the locker room, or you
don't know what I'm talking about. But y'all don't realize
how often I call around the league and a lot
of things that's going on that get reported. That ain't
my job. I ain't Adam Scheff. I don't try to
be I'm not Jay Glazer. I don't try to be.
But I know a lot more than what I say.
And when it comes out like they got mad, I

(15:25):
said it. Sean got there. When the organ when they
were explaining the privileges that Russ got Sean like, are
you hitting me? Are you kidding me? It's like no,
You're like that, Like no, that is not normal protocol.
Nobody in the history had ever had a situation like that.
And from that point on, once he heard that it

(15:48):
was over, he would have needed to throw for fifty
touchdowns four thousand yards and get them to the AFC Championship.
Other than that, it wasn't gonna work. So instead of
trying to listen to what I was trying to say,
try to explane what was transpiring and why so many
people were out on Russ in Denver. They wanted to
talk about, Oh, you're talking bad about a black man.
You wouldn't say that about a white guy when I

(16:10):
had called Tom, when I had called Tom Brady and
Peyton Manning and Tony Romo and Aaron Rodgers and all
these other quarterbacks. But see long as I'm talking about
them is fine. All I was saying. I didn't say
Russ was a bad person. I said he got privileges,
and it made his teammates feel a certain type of way. Ojo,

(16:34):
we know who makes the money, but just because you
make more money, we don't want you getting privileges. We
don't want you having offices that none of us like
hold on. Really, So from that point on, Sean felt
some type of way. He felt some type of way,
and I get it. I get it. But that man

(16:56):
been gone for two years. Now, it's time to let
that go, ye Joe, Uh, you know what it is.
It's the same thing with Mellow and George Carr. George
Carr keep on poking Mellow. Melo don't mention George Carl,
but every chance he gets, he tries to pop Melo.
Melo's gonna have to look, Melo's gonna have to draw

(17:17):
a line in the sand and say, Mo, for if
you step across this line again, hey, I'm gonna have
to unleash.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
You know, he ain't got no problem doing that. You know,
Mello ain't got no problem drawing that line.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
He's gonna have to because every time, every time he's
always speaking negative. All they couldn't win no championship with
that guy. He wouldn't play defense. He wouldn't do this.
I get it, you don't like Mellow. Everybody is not
gonna like everybody, but bro, you hadn't coach Mellow and
damn near two decades. What what is the issue now?

(17:50):
Can we just move on?

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Obviously at that point it'd be better if coaches come out,
especially when they continue to do this and they have
things to say years removed from dealing or coaching a
certain individual, Why don't you just come out and say,
you know what, I don't even like this individual and
it's personal. It had nothing to do with the sport,
that had nothing to do with basketball, had nothing to
do with football, nothing to do with him playing quarterback
or whatever it may be. I just don't like him,

(18:14):
and that's okay. It would it would be better suited
for us as a public and fans of these sports
to come out and have Sean pay say, you know what,
I just don't like Russell Wilson. I don't know, I
don't know what it is about him. I just don't
like him, or George carl you know what.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't like Carmelo whatever it may be. What's understood
don't need to be spoken. Yeah you know, yeah, man,
I don't. I don't well, if if if, if, if
somebody continuously cheating on the other party, what does he
need to say? What does she need to say? You

(18:50):
keep doing what you're doing when you know is wrong.
I don't need to I don't need no no harbor
totorney to try to read between the yes you're telling me,
the mere fact that you keep taking shots at me publicly.
It's one thing if it's getting back to me o jo.
But the mere fact that you're putting it in print,

(19:11):
the mere fact that you keep saying it publicly, I
can read it for myself. I can see it for myself.
Tells me that how you feel about me. But I didn't.
I already knew that. I'm like, I've been trying to
take the high road, try to remain professional. I'm trying
to build a brand. I don't want to do anything
to tarnish that. But hey, bro, I understand that's not

(19:32):
what you are. You don't try to build a brand.
You're not really On television, people go to you when
they want to get they want to get clicks, they
want to get a rage bait material. They'll come to
you and you'll say something Melo is one of the
seventy five greatest players they ever play in the NBA.
We understand what Melo is now. He's a Hall of Famer,
So automatically, if somebody says something negative that's gonna get

(19:54):
picked up. That is Mello, that's his former coach. I
just don't I just don't get it. We don't have
to like all of our teammates. We don't have to
like all of our coaches. I've had. I had a
great relationship with all the coaches. Maybe one or two
I didn't really jive with. And yeah, it's okay, but

(20:14):
I would never say anything publicly.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Absolutely, Hey, look your teammate. It's only so much, Bro,
It's only so yeah, Bro.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Brom fifty seven. I got grands now. But what I'm
talking about what happened twenty five thirty years ago? What
purpose does that serve in a negative night?

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yes, yeah, none at all, None at all. I mean, listen,
I get along with everybody. I'd assume I try to.
I'd assume everybody loves me the same way I show love.
There's only one person I don't get along with. And
if I ever see him, it's on site and huh

(20:54):
would you say, Joe.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Who is that You don't want to say?

Speaker 3 (20:56):
You don't want to oh, James Harrison.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah like that.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
It's it's personal, it's personally and I say I say
it every day and I let him know. I can't
wait to see him. Obviously he doesn't live here in Miami.
But the only place I probably see him maybe super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, ok, I'm sure we're.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Probably cross we'll cross past maybe you know, Radio Row
or some ship like that, and either he gonna have
security or it's just gonna be a thumping session.

information you have.

Hey, hey boy, I waved my white flag.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Long time ago. I remember, Hey, we always Hey we
got back to school clothed. It was like a week
before school. Everything that I've been picked over. Hey, it
wasn't no early. We we get the last two weeks
everything I've been picked off. Everybody else to try the
jeans on, the tried the shirt on, that had their

(33:35):
feet in the shoe. That's where they came up. Because
I remember when when I was coming up, Joe, people
be trying the shoes on just their barefoot. Yeah you
ain't had no sacks, you know. They they just started
you laughing on you. I ain't lying. They they you
people had their brother like, hey, let me, let me
get them what he just had. But that was that

(33:58):
was back in the day. So it's time to come
on in. It's time to come on home. Man.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
It's just it is what it is. And listen, I'm
I'm I'm at fault too. I'm at fault too, for sure.
And as I've gotten older, I've tried, I struck out.
I've tried. I've tried, I've tried, I've struck out. But
you know I'm back. I'm back at the plate. That's
that's That's the one thing I love about baseball is
at some point, as much as you strike out, you

(34:27):
gonna get your opportunity to be at the plate again.
And right now by I'm about to hit a home run.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah yeah, you called me?

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Uh uh no, no, what's Aaron Judge? No play for
the Blue Jays. Oh Blad Guerrero Jr. Girl, I'm Guerrero Jr. Yes, sir, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah. And the thing was, you know my problem was oo,
talk to me. Looking for perfection, will take your time.
It ain't one. But she the perfect height, she was
the perfect complexion, Come on to He had the perfect build,
She had the perfect bro, you not go find all
that in one you just listen. I've come to the

(35:17):
realization I've got to I've got to find a woman
that have enough of the qualities that I'm looking for
that I'm willing to overlook the ones that she don't have.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
WHOA.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
It took me fifty seven years to realize that there
is no such thing as perfection, although we constantly try
to achieve it. Talk to me so now I'm like, Okay,
that's enough. You're enough, tall enough, you fine enough, the
complexion is enough. Everything is enough.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
And it took me a while to realize that because
I'm like, I'm trying to be perfect. I want the
perfect person. That's why I ate the way I ate.
That's why I trained, because I was trying to perfect.
And my sister just says, Shannon, you realize you're not
gonna be perfect, right? You realize you flawed? You are flawed.
I don't know why we all are.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yeah, I mean, list I would love I would love
to be a therapist. I would love to be a counselor,
uh for for my sisters because they have expectations and
I love I love people having expectations and and and
having wants and needs and want requirements for people that
they date to meet those qualifications. Me, what y'all laughing at?

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah? But here's the thing though, Joe.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
But stay, what are the chances if if you ask
a woman, Joe, if you ask a woman what is
she looking for?

Speaker 1 (36:49):
The man?

Speaker 3 (36:50):
You hear me? And she will run down the list
of all the qualities and all the requirements that's that
that she wants, and it's almost it's a build of beer.
It's not it's not real. The expectations aren't realistic. So
everyone is looking for this. This not imaginary. But you
meet a guy that'll meet half of what you want

(37:11):
and you know it. No, he ain't no good No
here he work at sears all, he worked at Macy's.
I can't do nothing with that.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Oh Joe. Yeah. The easy thing you'll do is to
get with a person. Getting with is the easy part.
Staying is what's hard. Man. Basketball came easy to Joe.
Football came you easy to you and I. But guess
what we had to do. We had to practice, we

(37:39):
had to study, we had to lift weights, we had
to train. All that goes towards work. Working. You see,
everybody gets to the relationship and then that's it. You've
got to work every single day because the person that
you met yesterday is not the person today. The person

(37:59):
that you go bet the bed with the knight gonna
wake up. And so now instead of finding a reason
to break up, can I find a reason to state
and the words of earth winding five? Can I find
a reason? Just one? Can I find one reason to
stay us? The reason that love game has been played
all of our reason whether.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Come on now, take your time right So.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Now it took me a while because I oh, yo, man,
you a a I am nah Shannon. Because at the
end of the day, the way she looked today, she
ain't gonna look like that ten years from now, from
twenty years from now. And that and that that booty
that's up on the shoulders, yeah, it's gonna be down

(38:45):
by knees and you're gonna need to pick it up
and walk with it, walked behind it the cat because
you know what it she walking in a silhouette that
you can see now. When she gets about fifty five sixty,
it's gonna be dragging in the sand on the beach.
You gonna know what you will want my girl. Okay,
I see your trail. You know what I'm saying, and
you you got to accept that, O Joe, because I

(39:07):
really you know what. I walked by the mirror the
other day and I was like, damn, I ain't the
same guy no more, O Joe. Hold on, you lost it,
oh Joe, I'm telling you I used to. I used
to pay. I used to compeel in a boot from

I ain't that no one. Hey, you say you ain't
got it like you used to. I ain't got it
like I used to.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
What?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Damn? I'm like you, I'm not terrible, right, but I'm
looking at how I once was. And so if I were,
if women were to judge me by what I used
to be as opposed to what I currently am, I ain'tn'na
gett nobody.

I know I used to way I.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Walked around at I walked around at two thirty five

I ain't in the joke telling business like U like quick,
but I got some. But man, it's uh man. You

(41:52):
know when you watch your you know what I'm saying.
You know you driving, You just spent a lot of time,
you know I have. I've had a lot of time
to think because you know, my grandm used to say, boy,
she said, you are walking into the storm. You in
the storm, or you're walking out of it. So you say,
somebody everybody going through something, son, boy. And when you
in that storm, when you in the eye of the storm,

(42:12):
the eye of the storm dropped down in New Orleans Katrina.
That was the eye. Yeah, boy, you don't think you
don't know if it's ever ever that? When is this
gonna be over? How much longer? And hello, where do
I go? When does it end? What did ye? But

(42:35):
the ojo? I read a quote many many years ago.
It said, a lesson that's not learned in blood is
destined to be repeated. M I had a conversation with
my brother probably about two months ago. He called me

(42:57):
and I said, well, you know, he obviously he knew
what's going on because I called him and told him
or her the time. And then something else came out,
and then something else came out, and something else came out.
Then ESPN came out. He said, Shannon, there's a lesson
in here somewhere for you to be going through what
you're going through. There is a lesson. It's on you

(43:20):
to figure it out. Yeah, I said, man, I should wish,
he said, you know what. He said, No, that's not
the that's not the plan. He said that if you
knew what it was, you would circument the lesson. He said, no,
but you'll figure it out. Yeah, he said, you'll figure
it out. And people when y'all see me, I don't.

(43:47):
I don't want y'all to have the wrong impression. But
I'm just very guarded now. I'm very very guarded. I
was always on alert, but I'm on high alert because
I really don't know who I can really trust because
what I've seen over over the over the last six months,

(44:08):
there are very few people that you can actually trust. Yeah,
very very very few, and there are people that said
some things and it's gotten back to me. But I
was like, wow, And when we had this conversation, Oh
Joe about being down, and then people feel like they
can pile along. But I'm just very a I'm very

(44:31):
matter of fact. I'm hey, how you doing. It's nice
to meet you, and I'm going about, I'm on my way.
I'm on my way because I don't I don't want people. Yeah.
I had a conversation and Jeff because if you stay
too long, oh show the more people And this is
what I had to learn. And somebody told me this.
They say, Shannon, the more people you become involved with,

(44:52):
the more stories there is to be told. Circle got
to be crazy and small. The more people you're involved with, Shanna,
the more stories there are to be told. Okay, I
like that. I didn't know what was gonna happen. I

(45:19):
appreciate you, Oh Joe, You're like, hey, when you text
me uncle, I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (45:23):

To the wheels fall the fuck off shit. You gave
me the opportunity.

all right though. That's all right though.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Man, please keep it moving, baby.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Maybe this is what I don't wish this on anybody,
But what it did do is it really show old
me who's really really there. Right. There are a lot
of people on the periphic peripheral. When things were going
well with we were at the ap x mm hmm,

(46:14):

to take my licks. I had to.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
I had to you got you got it?

Speaker 3 (46:51):
And I had a Joe but them call stop. Ain't
hurt nobody. My circle was always small, so my scene,
my scene circle was right there, you know, to lift
me up, but I already knew. I offered to sit
for a minute, Yeah, for a long time Joe I had.
It was quiet for maybe six years.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Yeah, well you know how.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Long six six years is and you're nothing coming, no nothing,
you just I'm I'm and then here we go. You
give me an opportunity. You know why everything is back
going motion and going is going good. Yeah, and then
you think I had a nerd to jump ship just
because you're going through what I had to go through

(47:33):
years ago.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I know it. I know what it's like. Yeah, and
I'm looking at the chat. Everybody says stephen A. No,
I will say this. Stephen A has called me and
been there every step of the way. I will say that.
I will say stephen Ay have reached out, He's called,
asked me anything. Juvie, He's like, man, Juvi just wanted

(47:56):
to say hey, that's it. That's his boy. He just
wanted to say, hey, you good, Hey up, you're good.
I'm good, I'm good. Look. I know a lot of
people say a lot of things about stephen A. All
I can attest to is the way steven A is
with Shannon, and he's been great because when I went
through is what I was going through at Fox. He

(48:17):
was there when I was going through what this He
was calling anything I can do? What can I do?
I won't get into private conversations that we have because
that's between he and I. But there are a lot
of other people a lot, well, I shouldn't say a lot,
a lot of the parcel of land. There was a few,
quite a few. But you know what I was. I've

(48:46):
been down before this public lashing and ridicule and scorn
and humiliation. There, thank you, lumps, but it took me.
It took me a while to real lies like, hold on.
You call the people that you're closest to, brother, mom, sister, kids,

(49:07):
best friend, bucket burns. You explain to them what they say. Bro,
We're good. Once I got once I got to that, Oh, Joe,
you and I talked about this.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Man.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Look it is what it is. I'm gonna be all right.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
I ain't even want to hear it. We're good.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Sunshine follows rain?

Speaker 3 (49:33):
What what what time? What time the next show?

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Joe? That's all I want to know? What time is
the next That's exactly what he said he did.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
I know what that's like.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Okay, okay, yeah, we gonna get back to that. But
our very very special guest is joining us Cleveland Brown's
rookie sensation running back Quinn Shawn Judkins joins us, what's
going on all bro?

Speaker 6 (50:03):
What what's up? What's up?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Are you doing? He good? He good? Now, what's up?
What house of that bank this week? When you've been
housing it since you got back? But you was really
house in that bank? You house out there? I had
to Yeah, how you?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
How you feeling? Has your experience so far in the
NFL been? Has it been everything you expected it to
be as opposed to, you know, the transition from college to.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
Oh yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 7 (50:28):
I feel like it's been more so surreal, not only
for myself but for my family, to get to experience everything,
you know, get to meet a lot of the players,
and that whole nine yards man, just getting the finally touchdown,
you know, been through going through so much a slow
start to the beginning of the season, and shoot, just
everything taken off on the land.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
That's what's up.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
You're from Ohio, I'm from Alabama. I'm from oh you How.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Did you let you get out of? How you get
out of? How did you get wad Ohio State from
Fama n I l uh that's the way to keep my.

Speaker 7 (51:08):
Seriously, man, I think for myself just in college. Man,
I ended up going to Old Miss for two years.
I played there in the SEC. I had a lot
of success, and then my last year of college, for
my junior year, I was like, man, I want to
go somewhere I compete for a national championship. So I
ended up at Ohio State. I felt like that was
a great situation. Coach Day was a great type program,

(51:32):
a lot of talented players there.

Speaker 6 (51:33):
So I was like, you know, it's it's no better
place to go than Ohio State. So I ended up there.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
Hey, Q, tell me something you SEC? Uh freshman year?

Speaker 7 (51:44):
I was like number knee for it or something like that.
But yeah, I think I was a freshman year. I
can't even remember.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
So you left the SEC to go to Ohio Yeah, yep.

Speaker 7 (51:57):
Different for me, it wasn't about that though, you know,
like for many different people, like in the game it's
about the money the car. Different for me, it was
like an end of the day, bro, I'm a competitor.
I'm trying to go out and you know, kill it.
Like I'm trying to go out and you know, win
games as much as possible. Because the Old Miss I
was putting up fifteen hundred yards, I'm getting fifteen touchdowns

(52:18):
a year. So I'm like, man, no, I'm doing all that,
all of that, but that's not what fulfills me. That's
don't that don't make me happy. So that wasn't what
I was chasing.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Hey, you wanted that title q Q.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Hey they don't give me that polity for not for real?
Come on, hey, this is your boy.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Don't like that real? Okay, okay, okay, let me let
you have it. Height one thing I want to talk about.
I want to talk about even browns, and I want
I want to from the outside looking I don't think
you quite understand obviously you in position, but me on
the outside looking in, because there's been there's been controversy

(52:59):
at the quarterback. Do you understand that you are the
bellcal that you are the offense that often goes as
you go. Most of the times it's just a star player,
star quarterback, or a star receiver, but you are the
nucleus of that offense and as you go, the rest
of the team goes. Do you quite understand that just yet?

Speaker 7 (53:20):
I think, just because it's so early on in my career,
I quite don't get it yet, But at the same time,
I understand like the situation, like in Coach stfanskis is offense,
and if you go back to Nick Chubb and Kareem
Hunt and different guys playing in this offense, it's always
been able to lean on the run game. And I

(53:41):
think that's what's very beneficial about playing in this offense.
So I think, you know, just with my mindset, man,
like my mentality, regardless of who we play that week,
what plays were installing, just how that staying determination bro
to just go out there and like just leave it
all on on the field, But knowing the particular like situation,

(54:05):
like yeah, for sure, knowing that this is a run
first offense, I'm already.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Yeah, you in the West Coast System, in the West
Coast System, that's all. You put your foot in the
dirt and you get out here, and then everything comes
after that because now we're gonna boot, we're gonna play
action because look, I played, I played in this offense.
Now a lot of it's maybe changed, the wording of
the heurbage has changed, But you go back and look
at the Broncos offense with TD and Clinton Porters and

(54:29):
Mike Anderson and Ruben Drones, and you look at the
way the teams run this offense. When you got a
running back, when you got a guy Christa McCaffery in
San Francisco, Tyron Williams with the Rams. You look at
Josh Jacobs with the Packers. When you look when that
when the run game is efficient, this offense is almost impossible.

Speaker 7 (54:49):
Almost almost literally, because I felt like that's when we're
our best, when we're clicking in the rank game. Like
I feel like as a team, man, we're unstoppable, and
that that's where we continue to get better at and
consistently try to go out there on Sundays and put
it all together because I feel like, like you said, man,
that run game is what really helps us.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Hey, what was your expectations when you what what was
your goals when you came in. You was dealing with
what you did. You was dealing with what you was
dealing with at the offseason. I think you got uninvited
to the to the draft, but you was going through
what you was going through. You was like, Okay, this
is going to be behind me and I'm gonna have
to put what what's what's this is? I gotta put

(55:33):
that behind, and I got to go somewhere and I
got to perform at an elite level. I gotta play
like I know I could play. What was your expectations
for your your rookie season?

Speaker 7 (55:44):
I think for myself it was more so a testament
to you know, what I'm doing when nobody was looking,
because when I wasn't in the building, you know, like
I didn't have a strength, a strength staff, I didn't
have a coach you talked to to go over plays.
I didn't have every resource that I had while I'm
here in Cleveland now. So it was like the amount

(56:06):
of dedication that it took for me to give everything
I had and try to perfect my crowd when I
wasn't around, and then come back and it was like
it was nothing, and try to get on that same
plate page with no training camp, no no football for
what three months, so not having those things and just

(56:26):
training making sure I'm mentally sharp so when I get
that call and I go back, I'm ready. I think
that was my things that I really harp the most. Also,
other than like physical activity, was really just making sure,
you know, like I'm mentally sharp, just because you go
through so much man and a lot of people don't understand.

(56:47):
They'll never know what it's like, you know, especially being
an athlete and the thing that we deal with. But yeah, bro,
just really just making sure I'm mentally there all the
way sharp one percent.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
I love that what you said, what you were doing
when no one was watching, because discipline is doing what
you should do versus what you want to do. Yes,
I'm sure you want to be. Hey, the boys kicking it,
they doing they pay Hey, let me go over here,
let me let me kick it. But the discipline stay
true because I got bigger issues. You're the first Browns
player with three rushing touchdowns in the game since Nick

(57:21):
Chubb did it September eighteenth, twenty twenty two. You had
eighty four yards rushing, three touchdowns and your Rookie of
the Week nominee. When you see things like you're done
doing things that hadn't been done by a Browns player
in three years, you're doing, you know, being nominated for
the Rookie of the Year. Look, we all want validation.
We put that kind of time in, we put that

(57:41):
kind of work in in the off season. And to
see your planning a tree you wanted to bear fruit. Yeah,
you're bearing fruits. How pleasing, how gratifying, how satisfying is
it for like, Okay, everything that I did in the
off season, everything that I went through, this is more
gratified and makes it more like I knew I was

(58:01):
doing the right thing for me.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
It more so like I'm doing one of those people
where it's like, man, I'm just I'm just trying to chopod.

Speaker 6 (58:09):
I'm just trying to chop bid. You know what I'm
doing is that's cool. But at the same time, like,
you know, I got bigger goals.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
I know how I view myself as a competitor, how
good I want to be, So I don't really think
about it. But at the same time, when I look
up and knowing what I've been through, knowing like how
I persevered, knowing what like different challenges I face, and
then you see the light at the end of the tunnel,
it motivates me personally to like, you know, keep going
and strive to be better.

Speaker 6 (58:36):
So I think just that motivation you get from and
the hunger.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
Hey q Man as a rookie in the NFL, bro
living in the American dream, tell me, tell me what
it's like, because when I look back when I was
a rookie playing in the NBA. Bro, I couldn't sleep, man,
I couldn't sleep. I was so geekd for the moment
because I'm coming because when I came into the NBA
and O one is when Jordan came back, you know,

(59:05):
t mat cole Vince.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Called all them dudes, who's you know? They was at
the Apex.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
So I couldn't sleep nice before games because I eat
them for the moment. Man, I'm not playing. So what
is it like as a rookie living in American dream?
You've probably been you know, wishing for this moment since
you was a kid, and now that's actually in it.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
What is it like?

Speaker 7 (59:25):
Oh, man, I think for me, man, like just finally
being here.

Speaker 6 (59:30):
This is something you think about your whole.

Speaker 7 (59:32):
Life, Like you work your whole life for this, Like
you worked since you was this big, like to get
to this, to this moment.

Speaker 6 (59:40):
So it's like you're finally hear.

Speaker 7 (59:42):
But what I realized was it's like, Okay, it's not
how fast you can get here, it's how long you
can stay.

Speaker 6 (59:49):
So so my.

Speaker 7 (59:51):
Thing is, you know, doing everything in my power to
you know, be able to go out there and do
this have the same amount of success not only for
this year, but before a long time and keep that
saying discipline. So if that's one thing I did learn,
I would say is that, you know, just having so
many good bets too.

Speaker 6 (01:00:08):
You got a lot of good vets.

Speaker 7 (01:00:09):
In the locker room, and you meet a lot of
good players around the lead to develop a lot of relationships.

Speaker 6 (01:00:14):
I think in college is more so very compared to
the NFL.

Speaker 7 (01:00:18):
I would say it's kind of individualized, just because guys
aren't in locker rooms as long as they are at
different organizations.

Speaker 6 (01:00:25):
In the league.

Speaker 7 (01:00:26):
So I think in the league, man, you always have
people that you can lean on get advice from, because
like coming into this, you know a lot of stuff
moves super fast. So having somebody that you can ask
different questions too, so you're not just hit by the
blind for real.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
For right, Hey, how's the body holding up?

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Good?

Speaker 6 (01:00:44):
I feel I feel good?

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:00:45):
I used to get I got a lot of carriers
when I was at oh Miss I used to get
a lot of carries, and then last year to Ohio State,
I think I had like maybe three hundred, two hundred
fifty five. So I was used to being the bailkow guy.
You know, so I feel good, though, how.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Does the quarterback look? He started out and you know,
Gabriel gets drafted and your door comes in and we
know what you do, We know what that last name brings.
You got Joe Blacko. You got to pick it, and
they okay, we're gonna move on. We go in this direction.
And now has that the quarterback the situation with Gabriel
and your door, is he gonna get reps? Is he

(01:01:22):
gonna start? Is he gonna play? Has that impact of
the locker room anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:01:26):
I think with our team, we're also close and we
got a lot of We got so many young guys. Man,
it's like in our locker room. We genuinely it's almost
like you're in college again. It feels like for real,
for real, like damn like locker room full of young guys.
But man, it's just like the energy there regardless of
who playing, those two guys, they always support each other.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Like it was a clip I seen that on the
internet the other day, and.

Speaker 7 (01:01:53):
It was like them walking down the sideline and just
talking laughing about I think we had just scored a
touchdown or something.

Speaker 6 (01:01:58):
But that's who they genuinely are. That's who they truly are.

Speaker 7 (01:02:00):
They are competitives at the same time, they want what's
best for each other.

Speaker 6 (01:02:03):
And I don't think it's ever.

Speaker 7 (01:02:04):
Been turmoil or any any words said by anybody on
our team, like about who's the star quarterback.

Speaker 6 (01:02:11):
We all one hundred percent support Dylan.

Speaker 7 (01:02:13):
I even played him when I was at Ohio State twice.
I played them at Oregon once and then I played
him again in Pasadena, California De Rose Bowl, so I
got to see him and how he is at the quarterback.
He's super talented, bro, He's like super smart, he processes
really fast, and he's a great player.

Speaker 6 (01:02:31):
So I'm excited to see how he developed in his career.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
That's amazing. Man. Q, thanks for stopping by, Thanks for
giving some time. Congratulations on your early success, continue success,
stay healthy, and uh, you know, when it's all saying done,
at the end of the year, you go over a
thousand yards, come back and tell us how I said.

Speaker 6 (01:02:50):
I appreciate y'all, appreciate you all right later.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
Yo, Hey tel Denzel Ward, he can't stop me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Look, hey, look, I'll be telling practice.

Speaker 6 (01:03:01):
He be getting mad. I'll be like, bro, I've been
in that corner on your lass. Boy, I'm two twenty,
I still do it. Yeah, I'm like that. I'm mucha
