Speaker 1 (00:00):
So how you're sitting because it's you're No, that's not
what my life's open.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You're like a man? Why are you live? Why are
you because what do they call it? The man? The
man spread? The man's spread? Why are you man spreading here?
All right?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
What was that deep side for it? Because it's like
dealing with you? Let me just make money. See, how
are we gonna start the show? We can complain about me.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I mean, you can complain about me, but here's the thing.
I love you so much, and this.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Is how I know that you're about about to catch
about thirty five, and.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You can complain about my my quirks as well. This
is the thing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We are at super Bowl as you can see from
behind what we are doing is you can hear if
you are listening. And my friend, you know, time doesn't
really it doesn't run through her mind. She doesn't have
she doesn't own someone who has lived and worked on
a deadline. She doesn't own a clock, and so I
have to keep her moving. I'm like, jam, we gotta go.
(01:04):
She's like, well we could have walked. Meanwhile, I'm like,
well what how you know?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Like everything's just like because I live in a space continuum,
which is so here's the thing, Carrie, I believe in
the universe what will get done and should get done.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We'll just get done.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh you know, why go ahead with that mumbo jumper,
that that free style mumbo jumbo, new age mumbo and jumbo.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I understand that is true, but the.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Reality is is like you can't stop and talk to everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Look at that ten minutes, ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Listen, It'll get done. It will get done. It will happen.
But Carrie, as you mentioned, we're here at the super
Bowl and just talk about what this experience so far
has been like for you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, it's good because we haven't been at the super
Bowl in a long time, and so it's always good
to be here. I always noticed the overall volming majority
of press that's here Radio Row is really significant with
folks who do local, local, local, So I think that's
really important. So we decide to leave every day and
try to do some type of you know, recap of
the show.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
And I've decided.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I went to UCLA, And the point being is that
all my friends who lived up here in Northern California,
which is San Francisco, Oakland, this area always complain about
how they don't like La, we steal their water, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's so random. Okay, but I've noticed there's no water here.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
They do not give you water on the table unless
you ask for it because there is a shortage.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And I'm like, what kind of nonsense is this?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
What type of unfortunate place must I be in where
I can't just get water?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So now you're looking down on San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I am absolutely looking down on San Francisco. I'm from
southern California, where waters.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Water is plentiful, it's plentiful, it's available.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, here there is no water. And then we went
to you guys, you may have seen this. There was
this place that was trending that Keanu Reeves went to
during the filming of Matrix and he had came back
some oddie years later and found the same people who
would help him.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And it's called the.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
House of Nanking. Hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly, but the
House of Nan King. It's a lot mom and pop restaurant.
And Jamal sends me there yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I was with you.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I didn't just send you by by your lungsup. We
were We were there together take it from your friend.
So we go to this place. And by the way,
because I'm one of those people before I go to
a city, I hit Instagram find out where the places
people are going.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
This was listed.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
House of Nanking was listed on many trash restaurant. You
must visit restaurant. Okay, so I guess.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You just so you I'm not looking at you, go ahead. Finished.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
So I was unaware of the Keanu Reeves of it
all until you pointed out his pictures in the in
the restaurant, and I have to say it was underwhelming.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Can I use that word? Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The food was overdressed. I was like, this food has
on too many clothes. It was too much sauce. It
was too much. I was like, you can underdress this chicken?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah it was, and it was. It was a little
bland mid Yeah, it was a bland. The presentation of
the shrimp fried rice was lovely.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But I've had I.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Mean, Detroit had better Chinese food than there, and Detroit
has very good Chinese food.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Why do you keep okay, we do, we have excellent
Chinese food. I put it on my mama. You know,
if I say that, that means something carry So there
are plenty of great places to eat here.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna that wasn't gonna say that,
the hills, the lack of water, a mid Chinese meal.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I know, I'm getting a weird, weird feeling. You're not
enjoying your super Boy, You're not enjoying San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I mean, I'll come back. I'm enjoying it. But what
I'm saying is that it wasn't. It wasn't doing all
the things. Okay, it's fine, Alright, it's fine. Okay, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's fine. You know what else is fine? Your attitude
today is fine.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's why for me dragging you and you.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Forgive me for my sort of mental tardiness at all times,
at all.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Times, I appreciate it. What did you do last night?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Last night? You guys? Oh, I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
So.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Of course, there's a lot of Super Bowl events that
we attend, and Malcolm Jenkins.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Jenkins who came and did an.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Interview with us, had a art slash athlete event. It's
called the Game of Art. He's trying to mix the
two worlds. Great artists were there. It was amazing. But
you know who else was there?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Roger Goodell? Roger Goodell the NFL Commission. I was like,
he here with no security. He's just walking around, just
walking over like he ain like he's not, like he's
not worth one hundred million dollars. Did you talk to Roger?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I did look at his shoes.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What I was able to determine was that when people
are really rich like that, they fake they they fake
poor because.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The shoes were leaning over.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
They were leaning Oh wait, you know how like you
you've worn them so long and they and they just
started like what they were linked?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They were linked? What linked?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
His outfit was mid my favorite words. So you mean
to tell me Roger I was out here ragging the
on purpose? That's only wait, how are we so sure
is on purpose?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Because he just.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Doesn't want to project the fact that he gets paid
as much as he gets.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's what I think.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And I also think it's also credit to Malcolm Jenkins
that he was there because he really likes Malcolm Jenkins
and he wants to support this event.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's huge. You get Roger Goodell to show up at
your event.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, and just walk around. Curtis Martin was there. He
was in the entourage of Roger Goodell's. It was good
to see him.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Curtis is my ESPN day. Yeah, it's been a love.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There, and I mean a ton of people were there.
It was really lovely. It was a lovely event. I
got home at nine o'clock appropriate time and went right
to bed.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Look at you like a real professional.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm an adult, yes, okay, And I was reading some news.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Okay, what'd you do last night? Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
So last night, speaking of I guess special things, I
went over to the Lovely Four Seasons where many of
our friends, colleagues, people that we know in the business
were gathering.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Among them l.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Duncan, Maria Taylor, Monica McNutt, a bunch of folks that
we know, and it was really wonderful to be in
their presence.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You were missed.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
A many of them asked me where you were, and
I was like, she in these streets. But the beautiful
part about it was, and this didn't even occur to
me till last night, is Maria, who we know and
love is the is going to be the first black
woman to host the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh that's great, how she Oh like, that's amazing, this
is amazing. I didn't I didn't even know that.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
And no, and so we started hooting and hollering as
as we got as black women, we was the hooting
and the hollering.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
This about this.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I don't remember who brought it up or who brought
it to my attitch And I was like, oh my god,
that's amazing. That is amazing, so good, good, good for Maria.
She paid me an incredible compliment, which I even get
emotional thinking about, and it reminded me of you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Everyone gives Jamal compliments. Here's don't nobody want to hear
about this? Like, no, they don't.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
They do miss you, Carrie, they do love you. You
don't accept this glove. You're gonna accept this love. But
she she like, your husband loves me, My husband, that's
love you. This morning I run into him. This is
the funniest part.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And like as we're running to get here, I'm waiting
for Jamel to come down, and I see this man
at the restaurant. So I realized this Jamel's husband. And
I walk up on him. He on the phone with somebody.
I'm like, if I hear him talking to another ladys home,
See that's why I.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I was sitting like this.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I was up on him. I was up I was
dating here, touching his butt. I was up on him.
When he was talking low, I was like, why are
you talking so low?
Speaker 6 (08:26):
It?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Bet'll be too it better be it, better not be
no hope on the other end, and then he turned around.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He's like, why are you upon me like that? And
then and then he was like, oh, you're trying to
hear who I'm talking to you.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I was like yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He's like, yo, man, it's cry. I was like, yeah,
that's right. It better be a man. He's like, what
you gonna do telling me? I was like, you're damn right.
I would right up them first, real.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Stole on you, and then and then told.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And then he was like, okay, so that's kind of
friend you is. I was like absolutely, And he just
started laughing and giving me a hard hard time.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Because see, but that's his love language, Like you'd love
to give people a hard time.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Because that's part of me, that's your love language. Yeah,
such a hard time.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Speaking of a hard time, Carrie, we often do heroes
and villains on this show, so I want too quickly
do my villain which will inevitably lead us into another conversation.
Speaking of heroes and villains, my villain is the Washington Post.
And you know, as somebody who has been a career journalist,
I was a print reporter first, before I ever got
into this TV broadcasting game. The Washington Post was the
(09:37):
place I always wanted to work. I always wanted to
intern there. And for those unfamiliar, some of the names
that have come out of the Post, Michael Wilbind, Tony Kornheiser,
Rachel Nichols, Jaadonde, Donna Britt, like a wholes who's list
of the most important journalists, and not to mention, oh,
I don't know Watergate, Wioward and Burnstein. Right, So this
paper has a legacy, and so to see that the
(09:59):
Washington Post is a limit their sports department. So they're
also cutting their international coverage basically completely. And you know,
I don't want to get into the politics of it all,
but I think those of us that are smart enough
to critically think and to put some pieces and some
dots and some threat together know what is at the
root of this. And so you have hard working journalists
that are about to be out of work because.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
They have massive layoffs. So I don't know, it's just
a sad day for journalism. I think a villain is apropos.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I think that the Washington Post described it as a reset,
but any day that, first of all, journalism at its
core is on life support.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
First it was you remember, it was newspapers.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Now into journalism and the art of what we do
and the times that we are living in are very
very sad, and I think to say you're a journalist
is not even a sign of respect anymore. People I
know will be just walking down the street. You're like,
you're a journalist.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They're like, oh yeah, we're not very liked or we're
not regarded. No, not at all. It's not considered invaluable.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And I do believe it's because the lines have been
blurred between creator, journalists, content creator, all of those things,
and I think it's really hard to tell who's who.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Side note.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I know you want to lead into some other items,
but I would like everyone to know, as we speak,
we just saw Steven agg walk right past us.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I hope you roll up here. He literally right here
behind us, right here, okay, because oh girl, you know
I didn't. I was like, what are you looking?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
At No, I'm just kidding out because you would do.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It, because I would do it. All right now, dare
we to do nothing?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I'm not so before we some drama and that starts,
we're going to get to some other drama right now
talking about the w n b A. So, Carrie, Also,
big news that is happening now is that, you know,
the the w n b A Players Association, they met
with the league and there was a lot of news
that came out of it, namely that they expected the
(11:57):
league to actually offer them a proposal. They did not
have a counterproposal at all, and there were some scuttle
but that they consider this to be insulting, reason being, hey,
we're negotiating. I give you a proposal, you give me
one back, I give you one. Your expectation is something
is coming back. But nevertheless, without getting too much in
the weeds of it, is that narratives are being formed.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We see players, they've had their.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Say about things, and at this point, I think there
is some level of people losing faith that there will
be that the season will start on time, or that
that may not even be a season. So you know,
right now, I know that a lot of people are
panicked about it. They realize that this is a particularly
important moment in the league's history. I don't know if
I sound crazy for saying this, but I actually I
(12:44):
don't think there'll be any games missed.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What do you mean you think they won't? There will not.
I think they're going to agree to terms.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I think that this is as dire and as impossible
as that seems right now, given how both sides seem
to be dug in, I actually think that they will
have a deal done and that the season will start
on time. I'm not gonna say it's not going to
cause people to be panicked.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I'm not going to say that it's gonna always look nice.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But having seen so many of these types of negotiations before,
I think both entities are going to realize what's at stake,
and I think ultimately they get something done.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know, I think it was interesting because everyone is
like leaking information and still trying to be respectful.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I like what the Tasha Cloud said the other day.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Tousha Cloud was like, look, I know, while we're going
through these negotiations, you want to tell us we don't
have any value, but we were sold out at unrivaled
Unrivaled went on the Road, which is the alternative League
four WNBA. It's the league that if you don't want
to go overseas, join Unrivaled and you play for a
certain amount of time. And so they took the show
on the road to Philly and it was sold out,
(13:50):
and so she made some very very powerful comments about
the negotiations.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
We're not worried as the players.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
If I'm going to be like and honest and transparent,
we're not worrying. All the power is in our hands.
We have never had a moment like this where there's
been so much momentum, where there's been so much investment
demand of our sports. And honestly, I'm just kind of
like upset, frustrated all of us and in a lot
of ways just like disgusted with the W and how
they're handling this and their lack of value, their lack
(14:19):
of work for us, their lack of even trying to
attempt to move the needle with us, Like we know
what is on the horizon. We know in two years
our TV deal is up and there's a new TV
deal that's gonna come that they're not even putting on
the table for us. The percentages. If we actually told
you the percentages of what they're giving that they're like
sending to us, it would absolutely push all off. So, like,
(14:41):
just know, when we are standing firm in our feet
and ten toes down, there is a reason, and we will.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Not move until y'all move.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
So I'm gonna look directly into the camera too. We
will not fucking move until y'all move. And it would
be the worst business decision of any business to not
literally pay the players that make your business go. Without us,
there is no w season, So if the pressure is
on the WNBA.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
On Kathy on Adam, my thought process about her her
comments were, I hope that they are meeting in the middle,
which I think they are, but I also don't want
everyone to be so stubborn and then we miss out
on something so special.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But to your point, you think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
When I saw what the league was offering, or at
least what was being leaked about what the league was offering,
it felt a little insulting.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Oh no, it was definitely disrespectful.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I mean the things that were leaked, these were things
that you would have thought they already had, right, So,
like a league pass like Way League pass they carry,
but I think it's.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Thirty nine or eighty nine for the year. I literally
I have seventy bucks.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I don't know. No, no, no, it's not.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I think it's right because I think they read a
special because I got mine it was like thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Somethings, and I'm like, that's not an offering, And I
think that's why their offer is sending that to us,
Like look, how insulting is they're making They're putting that
in there, and it should already be there, all star tickets.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
All star tickets, Like how is it possible that these
women weren't getting that, they weren't getting what seats for
their family, Like it's really basic minor stuff that if
you even have the smallest amount of respect for these women,
they should have had this already.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Or a place for your family, a family waiting on,
a family waiting room.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
That was another big one, like why not we're women,
we don't have we don't have children, Like what do
you say?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
And by comparison, just so people know the NBA and
not that everything's a wonder one And I already know
what some of y'all gonna say when they not to
making the same money. Do you know how easy it
is to have a family room in an arena? It's
super easy. It just is a construction of some chairs
in a room. So that's not costing any money. Right,
So it's like the NBA players have family rooms. The
NBA players get All Star tickets. And by the way,
(16:43):
if you've just been an NBA player, past present, whatever,
you get league pass.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
So I'm just like, so you don't understand why they're
offering that as if like well, and like they're really
that there could be this thing where they're just like,
there are things that we've missed, and it's unfortunate that
we've missed these simple things because I know, working in
certain corporate environments, there are things that just go unchecked.
Leadership after leadership, some of the basic necessities do go unchecked.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, this, and I'm not making any excuses for.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The WNBA, but I mean, these aren't really offerings that
you should be publishing. You're like, there should I'm sure
there's more. There must be more.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think this is like their
final deal or anything, but I think I was just
more just so I wasn't surprised because frankly, a lot
of women can relate to this, because like, there are things,
I'm sure in corporate environments, even if you want to
use ESPN, that you had to fight for to get that.
Some of your male colleagues were already getting sure, but
(17:38):
because you're you, you had to say, Hey, that's I
need this.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I hope everything goes accordingly. I hope everyone is participating
in joining the calls. I told you I was doing
a series on the comments and when they had won
all of the NBA championships in the league first started,
and all of the women that I've talked to the
vets are just like, we were just happy to be
(18:05):
We were just happy to be yes, And they took
a lot of ls, and they took a lot of
l Scots because of that. Almost thirty years later, they're like, gosh,
I really like the Bravado or the Bravada, if you will,
of these women and what their expectations are.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
But I'm a little concerned. And this is when I
wonder if.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Their spirits are different because they were they were raised differently.
These girls, these girls are fearless. They really are much,
you know, much like the people were these women are like, nah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Tuning in, I'm fine and I want my money now. Yeah,
but you know, but it's that I know you and
I go back and forth with this.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yes, it's that tension of what women were, frankly, always
up against, Like we know that we have to pave
a easier way for other women, and so there's always
that line that women have to juggle that. Frankly, men
never have to apologize for of what I'm old, what
I'm worth versus maybe what's better.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
For a community. Men never have.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Men never have to apologize for being reedy. They don't
have more for hanging an They never do, which is
why they have so much of it. They have so
much at the wrong time. But that's the podcast day
for another day, for another day. So like, I don't
blame these younger women for that, because frankly, the older
women already took the ls the sherriff swoops is they were.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
They were out here sharing hotel rooms, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But but then they also told me they were staying
at the nicest of hotels in the first like five years.
They were like it was always like the four Seasons,
the Ritz. They said they treated them well, they said.
The women said, like, honestly, we weren't paying well, but
we were being treated well, which always.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Is surprising to me. They're like, no, we were like, well, I.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Remember they used to get apartments and a car because
the season was social sure, and they would.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Try to find them jobs.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You know, think thankfully I don't, but you listen a
lot of these women also don't remember.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They're like, I forget. I forget much like how we
would be.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Like, I forget how it went down, but I do
know what I felt like, and what they felt like
was grateful to be there, and what they felt like
was that they were doing something special. Right now, you
may not remember how people treat you, but you remember
that feeling. And right now the feeling is these yet
ladies feel underappreciated, not taken seriously from my understanding, and
(20:12):
they want more. They want more, and quite frankly, who's
to argue that they don't deserve more.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
With that being said, uh, I wish them luck.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I hope you are Correctjail in terms of what the
CBA conversation is going to be, and we won't miss
a game. I do want to As we get ready
to get up out of here. I do want to
roast Jamel. You know we we late, y'all, We've been late.

things will get done when they get done.

I'm not getting done.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, am myself here having an eight minute conversation.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
No, we got two minutes.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Okay, how do you have an eight minute conversation when
we got two minutes?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Well, we have a little bit longer two minutes, by
the way, because you know, as people know, we've been
here at Super Bowl, you know, getting our social butterfly on,
meeting people, talking to people, and we had a great
conversation show with somebody we truly love because he is
a riot and a half. But mister cam Jordan from
(21:08):
the New Orleans saying I love him so much, we
love him so much?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Was I was thoroughly impressed.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It feels like he's been around forever, but he still
has such a young spirit. And I thought it was
interesting when you said he has.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
He's like you've been in the league for years. That's insane.
It is because he's still so young.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He still looks like twelve, he does, and he physically
like could you imagine the discipline?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well he gave, he gave, he dropped a lot of gems.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I hope you guys really enjoy that version of us
laughing and having a good time, because I giggled I
key Keith the whole time.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I ke Keith. I did I certainly kep Keith. So anyway,
we got one thing done. We did get what they done.
Full of me. But here is an incredible conversation with
Cam Jordan. Do you want to start to start off?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I will I since you guys go way back to

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Sure, it's the shortest month of the year, but I
will take it. I get agen.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
We don't work with it, right, I'm sure the ancestors
enjoyed that in shame. Okay, So we're talking to you
here Cam at Super Bowl. Yeah, you're a lottle familiar
with this environment.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
I have worked this week for the last fifteen or
sixteen years, and I've never been a part of the
final product.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh, yes, that's right.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
I mean, you know, twenty eight years of Jordan's Jordan's
in the NFL and zero Super Bowls. The problem is,
I think loyalty, right. My dad played for the Minnesota
Vikes for thirteen years. I've played for the New Saints.
I'm old enough to know that we've been close to
a Super Bowl. I've had an NFC championshipship. When we
first got Droff two thousand eleven, they just won two
thousand and nine seasons. So I was two years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I was thinking that you were everybody, Yes, I forgot
you did come after.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's people, a lot of people, a lot of people.
You got one with the Saints, right, No, I kept thinking.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I know we've we've been on the cusp and young
enough not to have gotten there.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oh darn it, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's okay. Yeah, we make light the situation, just like
my light helmet.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You know what, See, this is what I love about
super Bowl Week. It's like when athletes are here promoting things.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I love it. I can tell you a vent. See,
I love that transition. We pivot, you pivot like that
was a segue. We call it in this business. We
call that a beautiful segue.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Just know, there's times I'm in the locker room and
guys rock you know, these thick old helmets, and I'm like,
what are we still in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
That's there.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
It's maybe time for some cutting edge technology. Like light
helmets was taken from the aerospace technology. It's forty lighter
than most helmets out there. And so when you know,
during training camp, we've got these big old bubble raps
on our head because somebody says, hey, this want to
keep us protected.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And you see some players still rare during the season.
I'm like, good for them. I know that this light
helmet is one is the number one rated position helmet
from the NFL NFL PA in terms of office office line,
defensive line, and quarterback positions. And so guess where I'm
at pensive line, Guess what I am and the number
one rated helmet. Guess what I love being able to
be faster because I've got a lighter helmet. My neck
(26:06):
is then that's tired. You know I'm doing everything the
right way in this time of fractionality where seconds matter
getting to the quarterback. I don't need anything holding me back.
So elevate your play, elevate your mindset.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I see why they hired you. I see why they
hired you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Please pull back, make sure we're showing the helmet, because
this right there wants.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
The work of art.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
There's no other helmet like the Florida Lee on a helmet.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Not not just because the Saints are now playing in
Francis upcoming year, but it's it's definitely because.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Helmet.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I'll take helmet, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Earlier, you were like, is there a female version? Of
course there is if you would deem it such. We
don't believe in these get to work. We're in the
friends have fram we don't have. I don't believe in pronouns.
I'm here to believe that people are the best versions
of them, and so why not step with the best
with light helmets.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Let me put it on? Put on?
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Here Wednesday, right, Kim.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I really really appreciate your personality. I wonder and I
have to ask this question because so many people think
about that. What are your plans as you look past
the league?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
What do you see yourself outside of being the traditional
world next year? Just when I retire? What do you when?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Yeah, when I retire, I hope to be how I
am in the off season. So did chubby, eating whatever
I want, drinking whatever I want, talking smack with the
best of them. Okay, you know, being the best dad,
I can be talking smack to somebody's parents, being the
being best husband. I can be talking smack to one
of my boys, being on TV talking smack.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
To Okay, So you do see media media?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Come on, you have your career, your career, I have?
Who has my career? I hope nobody like you do.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You want to be a Michael straighthand do you see yourself?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Always emulate right, you always need a standard, right.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
You look at Nate Burleson, you look at Mike Straight,
and you look at big Marcus Spears Swago. You know
you see the fun they have. You look at Marshaun
l getting too, I mean is nice, right, But we
don't get caught up in the numbers. We get caught
up in the adventure.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That sounds like a bar. We don't get caught up
in the number. It sounds like a bar from a
rich man.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
We get caught up in the saying. You know, if
you get tied to a paycheck, all you see is
the job.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
All you see is the job, and you have to
try the adventure. That is so true. Right now we're
learning from him telling us tell us more about our lives.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Geez, look you always so you can always get caught
up in number, just in terms of respect, right, Like
if they respect me, they would give me X. And
so you can be like, yeah, I need that. But
after a certain number, your lifestyle is not changing. You know,
after taxes everything is cut half anyway, So you say
a million dollars is five hundred and fifty to six
hundred grand one point two to make you validate it. Sure,
(29:02):
but that's still six hundred grand six fifty. You're not
buying a bigger house with that. You're in the same house.
Now you get some leaning seats, but lifestyle overall is
not changing.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Changing somebody with the time that you've had in the NFL.
You know, once you get to a season stage in
life or in your career, we often start being old
man or old woman yelling at cloud like thinking about
the younger generation of players that are coming in.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Oh, gosh, darn, if I was in the college and
was in the NI era, I wish I would have
made so much money exactly.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
But still though with the new newer players that you're
in contact with the younger players, like, what are some
things that you try to tell them as they begin
their journey in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Will Marshawn say, take take care of your mentals and
take care of your chickens, right, explain chickens. You know
your scratch, you know your money, your money, take care
of your money. On you gotta take care of your mentals, right,
That's the way you prepare for the game. That's the
way you prepare for your daily activities your life. That's
the way you take care of your body. That's your prehab,
(30:01):
your rehab, your acupuncture, your cuts, all that. So if you,
if you know, find yourself a routine that you can
get into, that's your mentals. And what better way to
take care of mentals than with the proper helmet, the
proper paths, proper ship, whatever, But the proper helmet is
definitely key. Right, you talked about light helmets, the Apache, right,
(30:21):
you got to the helmet, the light helmet, So I
want the Apache pro. It's been phenomenal last two years.
Haven't had any issues. And of course, of course I
always talk to my young guys like, hey, get a CPA,
get a get a accounting that nobody's doing, get a
financial advisor, because again, you gotta take care of your money.
This game is finite. It's not infinite, ye, And don't
(30:45):
be you know, don't be too big beyond. Sometimes guys
be like, I'm in the league. I don't have to
do I don't have to do It'll be personal.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
It's okay to be in.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
The league and be like, hey, I'm gonna go talk
to these kids and talk, you know, give back to
the community. It's wonderful that guys can want to give
back to community. It's amazing when you see guys be
able to be personal and be able to talk to
fans and not look like they're bothered.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
In Yeah, like we get it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
It's so annoying that I would to say that's arguably
when we go to these events and we've been doing
this for a long time, Like I literally feel I'm
so annoyed when I see the cool kid.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm like, oh, you guys are the cool kids. Y'all
can't talk to anybody.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I'm jealous. I'm like, dang, I wish I had that
in me.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But it's not cool, it says it because then what
goes around comes around. It's all full circle. There.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
There will be a moment when you're not there.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You're not the cool kid, right, and so you should
be able to appreciate everything around.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
You and I love to you and say hey, are
you such and such, And then they don't and then
you feel bad.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Just real quick.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Getting back to what you said about money and taking
care of that. What's some money mistake that you made
that you still think about.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
I hear about these things.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Sadly, I was in the crypto area when like NFTs
were a thing, and I was like, man, I gotta
have this n f T n f T, And I
still like, I love my crypto. I'm never gonna give
it back. Yeah, yeah, I'm here for the I'm here
for the diamond hand holes. But I got diamond hands
and I still rock with some career that I knew
was gonna win and it never did. But you know,
it's like in my mind, MTS was like, guys, I
(32:13):
used to go to casino and play black jack. Never
go in with more money than you're willing to lose. Yeah,
you know, so it's all it's all in hand.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
So it wasn't to get a back. Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Not too many houses for friends, not too many, too
many cars, not too many I went to the club
and spend Like when I hear stories about going to
the club spend one hundred thousand dollars, it hurts my heart.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
I've seen it happen. It makes me and it scarred
me early, you know. And there was a super Bowl
was that Indianapolis? With that twenty eleven years, I saw
seventy five get dropped and American dollars not no payoffs. Yeah,
American in the club.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
And I said, dang, they doing it. And I was
like dang.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Like I got to the league and I was like,
I was like, man, I'm gonna go to the club.
We're going like I went to Vegas one time, you know,
And I say, yeah, my boys from crib, we're gonna
do it. And that tab hit me for like fifteen.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
One hundred.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Oh no, there's a zero on top of that. And
I say, hey, guys, never again. Reality moment.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, the way as Kevin Hart would say, the way
my checkings and my sailings are set up, the way.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
My heart is set up.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
To my mind, my mind was like, you got it
in my heart was like, bro, you tell your brother
who works forty to fifty hours a week that you
just dropped half his clear.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Can we appreciate you?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
