we are heading into our two, but before we get going,
the Dollars Shaved Club six blade razor brings noticeably smooth
(01:07):
shave with six stainless steel blades with swift air removal
and un lubricating strip that keeps things well smooth. Dollars
Shaved Club razors are sold at Dollars Shaved Club dot
com or and stores. And speaking of shaving your face
and having a smooth face, I would be remissed if
(01:28):
we got out of this show, fellas and didn't talk
about how smooth Chris Rock's face was shaved and and
manicured and was the perfect landing place for one Will
Smith's open hand uh oscar slap. What what was y'all's
reaction from it? What was y'all's take away from it? Man? Man?
(01:51):
What ea our takeaway from it? I mean, what was
your reaction to it? What y'all action was? It couldn't
be like this coming to win in and that, Like, Man,
you slacked me on national TV, on that stage for
being a comedian telling the joke all hell breaking loose
like it's man, it's gonna be furnit moving around. I
(02:13):
don't have that much professionalism in my body to be
able to do what Chris Rock did. It's a no
for a no with me. Man. It's tough position to
be in the host of the Get you get slapped
in front of the whole entire world. I mean, listen, man,
he's always just gonna be known for the man that
(02:35):
you smack. Don't stay you biquitous is what you forever,
forever question your manhood? Was another grown man just welcome
to you smacking you don't retaliate. I mean, wow, that's
a yeah. There's just no way there's LaVar And come on, man,
there's no way you are both of you guys. I've
(02:56):
been around both of you guys to a personal capacity.
And if we said we would do anything other than
what will Smith's asked in that moment, we would be lying.
Like so for me, my whole thing was when when
I watched it, it was like, man, he ate it.
Like first of all, he moved his face so that
the slap kind of he rolled with it was a
(03:19):
nice little it was nice little his face. He didn't
hit him hard enough. He didn't even hit the man
hard enough where he checked his face if y'all noticed,
he didn't even touch his face after it happened. And
then I was, you know, I was like thinking to myself,
what would what would have been the two things I
would have did. One was we would have been thumping immediately,
(03:42):
like he turned so quickly, as if to say, I
know you ain't gonna do nothing, so I'm gonna just
turned my back and walked back to my seat. I
would have went upside his head like I would have
kicked him in his back, and I don't know commercial
been so fast. Number two is I'm a comedian, and
(04:03):
I would have fried Will, and I would have fried Jade.
I would have fried them. I would have fried them
so bad that you wouldn't even been able to eat it.
You know, they say, sometimes well done taste taste just
as good as if it's undercooked. Not this dish. This
dish would have been so well done you would have
had to toss it out because it would have been crispy,
(04:24):
black cook. You wouldn't have been able to do nothing
with it. That's all I can tell. You. Would have
been nothing left. He sat there and told that man
to keep his wife's name out his f and mouth.
I would have been man. If that wasn't the easiest
set up for me to tear you and your entire
(04:44):
family apart in the you should have thought, hey, Will,
you should have thought about it. Put before you put
your hand on my face. When you put your hand
on my face. Now I got to attack black, I
got to attack you. But that's just me. The the
officers would have turned into a comedy roast bro It
would have been a roast on on God. They would
(05:05):
have had to come get me out that stage. They
have been like cut cut, cut, please cut. I would
have it would have been profanity. I would have been
dropping that bombs. I would have been all kinds of stuff.
I would have never worked the Oscars ever again. Oscars
would have been a parking lot. Uh after you don't
walked out the club and something jumped off. No way
(05:27):
we Will Smith chose the right person because I I
don't was able to strain himself. And as they would say,
be so professional man, I'm gonna walk up and snack
this man. And and then it gets consolted by by
by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry. And you know they
(05:49):
played they play play superheroes. They played like real, real,
like about that business dudes and movies. So we would
have had to have found out if Denzel and and
Tyler Perry was really about that smoke as well, you
know what I mean? Because Will might have I don't know,
Will would have needed help against no, No Chris Rock, though,
But I imagine if that was Imagine if that was
(06:10):
Joe Rogan, or if that was look imagine if that
was Tupac that said that. Imagine if Tupac was hosting
the Oscars and said, look like, look like we're gonna
have g I Jane to take place, and Will Smith
where would say what he did? He would have been
(06:31):
doing what he did when Chris Rock said it, laughing, laughing,
because I don't believe he would have walked walked up
there and smacked somebody like Steve Harvey. That wouldn't have happened.
Could you imagine if it was Steve Harvey would have
been he didna get down, Steve. Steve would have you
(06:51):
stepping on hard bottoms and all? What did the fingers
say to the face. I wouldn't be I wouldn't be
surprised if Chris Rock to him, man, Chris Rock, will
he got it? Listen and uh for him to be
(07:12):
for him to be as professional as he was in
the moment, like you gotta sue, You gotta sue because
you are. It is ubiquitously connected to Chris Rock. You
will forever, you will be dead and gone. A hundred
years after your death, people will still remember and reference you.
(07:34):
As they was talking about nothing about the Oscars. You, Hey,
next year, what they're gonna talk about? Hey, you remember
when Chris Rock got slapped at the Oscars last year?
Two years from now, you remember Will Smith slapp Chris
Rock Man, Chris Rock will be forever the guy that
got smacked at the Oscars, bro and then forever to leave.
(07:55):
He said, I ain't going nowhere. I'm gonna stay here
except my oscar for that's the fault performance with King
Richard and what up? Then get with speech, I ain't
going nowhere and and blamed him slapping Chris Rock on
being in character as Richard. If you saw the movie,
I ain't trying to be a spoiler, but when Richard
(08:16):
was trying to protect his people, he got beat down.
That's all I'm gonna saying. I'm gonna lead out at
that one. Right there. Let's let's jump into this Will
Smith's that's what you're rolling away. Hey, don't get Will Smith.
Don't get Will Smith. All right, let's I'm a Will Smith.
(08:38):
You let's transition this week's legendary moment. Let's jump to it.
Man High School, National powerhouse coach of St. Francis in Baltimore, Maryland.
My man coach mas Size, I call him, but y'all
know him as coach Massig. How to marry him? All right,
let's let's check out this week's legendary moment on Game Presents.
(09:04):
Conversations would a legend and now this is your legendary moment.
People could come from a genuine place, but you're not
turning that type of school into the type of powerhouse
that you turned it into. What was that? Like? What? What?
(09:25):
What was that process? It's extremely daunting, as you can
imagine the bar even coached at all levels, played at
the highest level. Um, it's an expensive sport, it's an
expensive platform. So there's a lot of sacrifice that have
even made a little bit personal. Um. It took a
lot to get that place become as as great as
(09:47):
it is, and it's all worth it. Um. At the
beginning of where you're going through it, you kind of
question it once in a while, is this is the
right thing I'm doing? Is it's gonna pay off? But
then I start seeing them go to college, start seeing
them accomplishing the goals they want. Our first two from
actually this program are playing National Football League. Um Gary
(10:09):
bright World plays for the New York Giants, and then
we have Damon Hazelton was the Houston Texas and then
there's gonna be more. Now that's a beautiful thing. But
they both got their degrees, they've got accomplished the goal
that and the NFL's I seen on the cake, and
so they're gonna pay it forward. That's the goal to get.
Get these guys, get their educations, put their families in
(10:30):
better positions. But grab one or two kids and say,
let me find a way to be able to support
this one and two collectively. The growth will allow that
school to continue to thrive. Although our community supports us,
but the neighboring schools don't want to play us, which
it was in a hard process for us, which has
caused us to have expenses That wasn't always like that. Now,
(10:53):
there were a lot of schools that joy whooping on y'all.
Eight out of the time. Games used to be somebody's homecoming, right,
So you know the term I use now the plus
that there's no fun. When the rabbit got no fun,
the rabbit thet Yeah, man, that's my man. Coach Masside,
We've been through a lot, my man Ricardo Dickerson shout out, Pacardo,
(11:14):
um part and played played a very large part, large
role in building that that program and bring guys in
and we were able to bring kids over here from
from Nigeria, Africa to be a part of it, and
just so many amazing stories connected to the growth in
the build out of that program Fellas. So it was
nice to hear from Coach Massigh in terms of where
(11:37):
things are. I mean, they have now turned into literally
a top five national power um every year. I mean
the school sits directly across from a county jail in Baltimore,
and when we first were going there, you would see
you know, used syringes and and broken bottles and all
(11:58):
kinds of trash um. I mean, there were so many
dope homes and and and and in the area. And
they have they have done something extraordinary there and I'm
just proud to to say I played a small a
small part of small role and the emergence and and
the build of of that school and what they've been
(12:20):
able to do there. So shots out the coach Massigh
shouts out to St. Francis and and the things that
they're doing that was this week's legendary moment. We're gonna
take a quick break. We're gonna come back, and on
the other side of the break, we're gonna have Georgia
running back that's heading for this year's NFL Draft, the
brother of Mr Dalvin Cook, you know, Mr Pantene. Man,

young man young guests coming on the Up On Game Show,

Well be ahead of me? Okay? All right? H What's
what's going on? Brother? This is t J. How how
(14:06):
was it playing at Georgia with so many other backs
that you're competing with initially? Do you feel like it's
a hindrance and moving forward? Will it be a positive
because you don't have as much wearing tearritor body moving forward?
The running backs half coming out of college? Um, yeah,
I mean it was an absolutely fuss um just my
(14:27):
taking on as much as much beating as I should
as have took him. I feel like I'm at the
best conditioning, bast shape, feel happy. So I mean I'm ready.
M h man, what's up? Man? This is Plexico man. Listen,
So all the running backs that come out of the

state of Florida, but but the city of Miami, it
just seems like, you know, uh, I'm talking about like
Willis mcgahey, Frank Gore, Uh, your your brother Dalvin Uh,
you know all those guys. It just seems like the
guys that come out of mind you running back like
they run different. You know, they explosive. They can make
(15:09):
you miss. If we can't make you miss, we're gonna
punish you, we'll run you over. Exceptional vision so that
they all run with a purpose. Do you feel that

that they just run, they run with a purpose. Oh yeah,
I mean we were we from. I mean it's competition
(15:31):
every where, so just coming. I mean that like goluprack

reporting the Miami Dolphins trading receiver Davante Parker to the
New England Patriots in exchange for a third round draft
pick in twenty three. NFL media also reporting to the
(19:41):
New Orleans Saints resigning safety p J. Williams to a
one year deal, and the Saints are also signing former
Houston Texans defensive tackle Juliel Johnson to a one year deal.
NBA ESPN reporting today Brooklynets guard Ben Simmons has filed
a grievance to challenge the nearly twenty million dollars of
salary withheld to him by the Piladelphia seventy sixers. This season,
(20:02):
the grievance will go to an arbitration process. The Basketball
Hall of Fame class of two officially announced today. Among
the inductees this year, Tim Hardaway, Monto, Junoble, George Carl
del Harris, Bob Huggins, Swin Cash, and referee Hugh Evans.
In Major League Baseball, Ken Rosenthal just reporting that the
(20:22):
Los Angeles Angels have designated outfielder Justin Upton for assignment.
Upton is OH twenty eight million dollars this season and
this the final year of his contracts the defending world
champion Atlanta Braves, and I say relief picture. Luke Jackson
has damaged to the ulner collateral ligament in his right arm.
(20:42):
Jackson is undergoing a comprehensive evaluation to determine next step.
But yeah, Devanta Parker now a New England Patriots fellas
back to you, all right, And speaking of free agents
and well signings, we should say in receivers um, Davante Adams.
That's that's or excuse me, Davanta Parker, that's that's an
(21:05):
interesting trade. But you know what's even more interesting to
you know what's interesting about that go they think that
highly of them that they trade him in the same division.
How about that, m I never understood that. How about
that They must don't think he can get open? He
can stay guys right, well, I know a guy who
can get open, and he seems to think that, you know,
(21:28):
he needs to have a team. What you say, Let
me let me hear that sound. Let me hear that sound.
I need to get my ankle fix. But I just
want to make sure ob amitment from a team without
an idea where you're gonna work or you're gonna work
for it. I would love to continue my career. I
still got a lot of game left in me, and
(21:50):
now you're seeing the highlights. I still feel like I
gonna put up big numbers, and I see what these
guys are getting paid. I just wonder why my value
is not being upheld. That's the same Maybe because I'm
already got the flag, the flame. I want you to
go first, listen if Aby was If Aby was on
(22:13):
the show right now, I'd be like, hey, it's around
you ain't playing no move you did. Just move on, man, Listen,
Ain't nobody bringing you into a locker room right now?
Because if I'm talking to him right or the angle,
it's the whole thing. It don't matter, don't it don't
matter if you get your ankle, fix your mom yesterday,
(22:35):
you ain't playing them on football because I said, oh, well,
it look like he ain't having surgery. Then he not
having surch like he he knows, he knows, like if
somebody brings him in any team, that person in that
(22:59):
front office needs to be let go immediately. What are
you thinking? What are you doing? And he's brought this
on himself, and it happens to so many guys. Man,
when they start talking about your personality more than your production,
it's the beginning of the end. And they've been doing
this for the last couple of years. It's a roupped.
(23:20):
So he said he's not having surgery until he gets
confirmation at a team is gonna sign him. Well, he
will no longer be having any surgeries related to the
National Football League of any injuries that he may have suffered.
I don't understand that strategy though. I don't either just
get it fixed. If you gotta get it fixed, just
get it fixed. They gotta be gun anyway, because because
why would you sign a contract? Why will somebody sign you?
(23:44):
Knowing as you already hurt. You can't pass a physical,
so therefore you cannot join the NFL roster. That's why,
that's how I thought it went. But he's got the flame,
the fire flame. Hey, that bad? That bad to panic?
Like Will Smith, he saw the contracts that these dudes
(24:05):
just get Davonte Adams with your boy? Just when who
who's our other receiver that just went and got a
big contract as well? And and Las Vegas? He just
went to Las Vegas, Davant all right, who's the other
one that just left? Who? Tyreek Kal went to Miami.
He killed Davante Adams, Christian Kirk, you just name him.
(24:27):
He see his money? He like, hey, man, should have
been acting right? Should have been acting right? Is there
any possible scenario? No, no, no, you gotta because you
gotta pass the physical first. Even passing passing, anybody, bring
them in for physical. They need to be fired. It's
(24:50):
that bad. While he needs surgery, that's my whole point.
So he ain't even gonna get a chance to pass, Okay,
if he didn't need, if he didn't need, sir and capacity.
If there's a chance that he gets in, it's a wrap,
wrap it up. You're not playing no more. There's no
teams out there, people, people, the people are not gonna
(25:11):
put up with it no more. Man, They're just not
gonna do all the antics and everything that you know
you do. The last display walking off that football field,
that was his last time on the football And then
how can you take him serious? When he's talking serious?
And then he tries to turn it into a bar.
I don't know what the bar is. He starts trying
(25:32):
to wrap like you can't even take him serious. He's
not taking himself. Man. You know I'm gonna get this injury,
and I see what And then he turns it into
a rap, like how can you take it serious? I'm
pretty you just can't. It's a wrap. Man. If you
(25:58):
were to tell him, what would his response be to you?
What do you believe that response that you will get
from him? I honestly believe that he believes that he's
going to play again. So if you told him it's over,
because he'd be like, no, no, it ain't no. He
probably telling your time. Your time came and went, Plex,
(26:20):
not it's my time. Plex Man, I got something sometimes
you got You gotta be honest with people, man, I
love him. I love him like a brother, and I
would tell him that to his face. I'm like, you
ain't playing no more, that's just he for show. Listens
to what's said on the radio and TV. Though, because
(26:42):
this this was I was at the super Bowl and
me and Edge and James were sitting down talking chopping
it up. A by walks up. He just looked at me.
Didn't want to say that word to me, bro, because
you guess he heard all the stuff I said about him.
He was mad man, he was in his feelings. I
won't people getting their feelings and have and I mean,
we gotta don't get will Smith. He'll learn real quick,
(27:08):
the wrong one, real quick, the wrong one I talked.
I'm ready for that. He walked. He walking out with
the gloves. Oh. Now I was dressed for that occasion
as well, so I was. I was good. So I'm
trying to tell you, hey, I was ready for everything
(27:31):
that night. Everything. I was good. All right, Look, before
we go to break, I want to throw this one
out at job. Now I know this about speaking of Vegas.
I know that t J has horrible eating habits with
with sweets and he don't get fat like me and
it's funny because he plex he was like, man, they
got this big, this big candy shop. We got to
(27:53):
go to this candy shop. I can't even breathe. Look,
we don't walk the whole entire strip. I can't breathe
and my legs is hurting. I was I was gassed.
And this dude just walking like all this energy and
he goes walking into the candy shop. I gotta ask y'all,
DK Metcalf. Listen to this sound bite about DK Metcalf
(28:13):
and his his dying. I want to hear what y'all
think about it. I'm a candy type person. What I
eat one meal a day, drink one coffee, and eat
like three fox bags of candy. I mean, how does that?
How does how do you look like that? And that's
what you're doing with yourself. Man, Listen, It's the craziest thing.
(28:37):
Because I re memb. We was in Vegas and we
had just finish up the show and we was in
the hallway meal of I was talking and we looked
up and t J was eating the Nutty Buddy. Yeah,
Nutty Boddy up. They had one of us is high school.
We was done or nothing. What you find that, but
y'all going back to DK metcalal Man. Listen, I had
(28:59):
to and the privileged man to play with one of
the greatest running backs of all time. And his name
was a Danny and Thomas and man, man, I met
this man back in two thousand and left. We played
played with the same team New York just and it
feels like I had no in my whole life. And
we sat down and then meeting for the first day,
and I'm like, oh, man, that's lt Man. Like you know,
(29:20):
when you watch somebody play, you would think that his workout,
his workout was crazy. When you see him eat. He
was eating snickers, ice cream sandwiches, cookies and cream twicks.
I'm like, yo, hi, man, when you were running like
that eating that food, he said, Man, I'm a junk

true Pittsburgher? Do you put fries on all your stuff?
Do you put them on your salads? Do you put
them on I don't get it on everything. I don't
put them on myself, but I probably should because I
(35:38):
don't like salads. Um, so maybe that would make it
spice about to have a Pittsburgh salad. I love fruit,
fresh fruit and salads. T J. We know there are
things that t J will not eat on the fruit list,
And just so you're clear that there's probably uh, it's

shave with six stainless steel blades with swift air removal
and un lubricating strip that keeps things well smooth. Dollars
Shaved Club razors are sold at Dollars Shaved Club dot
com or and stores. And speaking of shaving your face
and having a smooth face, I would be remissed if
(01:28):
we got out of this show, fellas and didn't talk
about how smooth Chris Rock's face was shaved and and
manicured and was the perfect landing place for one Will
Smith's open hand uh oscar slap. What what was y'all's
reaction from it? What was y'all's take away from it? Man? Man?
(01:51):
What ea our takeaway from it? I mean, what was
your reaction to it? What y'all action was? It couldn't
be like this coming to win in and that, Like, Man,
you slacked me on national TV, on that stage for
being a comedian telling the joke all hell breaking loose
like it's man, it's gonna be furnit moving around. I
(02:13):
don't have that much professionalism in my body to be
able to do what Chris Rock did. It's a no
for a no with me. Man. It's tough position to
be in the host of the Get you get slapped
in front of the whole entire world. I mean, listen, man,
he's always just gonna be known for the man that
(02:35):
you smack. Don't stay you biquitous is what you forever,
forever question your manhood? Was another grown man just welcome
to you smacking you don't retaliate. I mean, wow, that's
a yeah. There's just no way there's LaVar And come on, man,
there's no way you are both of you guys. I've
(02:56):
been around both of you guys to a personal capacity.
And if we said we would do anything other than
what will Smith's asked in that moment, we would be lying.
Like so for me, my whole thing was when when
I watched it, it was like, man, he ate it.
Like first of all, he moved his face so that
the slap kind of he rolled with it was a
(03:19):
nice little it was nice little his face. He didn't
hit him hard enough. He didn't even hit the man
hard enough where he checked his face if y'all noticed,
he didn't even touch his face after it happened. And
then I was, you know, I was like thinking to myself,
what would what would have been the two things I
would have did. One was we would have been thumping immediately,
(03:42):
like he turned so quickly, as if to say, I
know you ain't gonna do nothing, so I'm gonna just
turned my back and walked back to my seat. I
would have went upside his head like I would have
kicked him in his back, and I don't know commercial
been so fast. Number two is I'm a comedian, and
(04:03):
I would have fried Will, and I would have fried Jade.
I would have fried them. I would have fried them
so bad that you wouldn't even been able to eat it.
You know, they say, sometimes well done taste taste just
as good as if it's undercooked. Not this dish. This
dish would have been so well done you would have
had to toss it out because it would have been crispy,
(04:24):
black cook. You wouldn't have been able to do nothing
with it. That's all I can tell. You. Would have
been nothing left. He sat there and told that man
to keep his wife's name out his f and mouth.
I would have been man. If that wasn't the easiest
set up for me to tear you and your entire
(04:44):
family apart in the you should have thought, hey, Will,
you should have thought about it. Put before you put
your hand on my face. When you put your hand
on my face. Now I got to attack black, I
got to attack you. But that's just me. The the
officers would have turned into a comedy roast bro It
would have been a roast on on God. They would
(05:05):
have had to come get me out that stage. They
have been like cut cut, cut, please cut. I would
have it would have been profanity. I would have been
dropping that bombs. I would have been all kinds of stuff.
I would have never worked the Oscars ever again. Oscars
would have been a parking lot. Uh after you don't
walked out the club and something jumped off. No way
(05:27):
we Will Smith chose the right person because I I
don't was able to strain himself. And as they would say,
be so professional man, I'm gonna walk up and snack
this man. And and then it gets consolted by by
by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry. And you know they
(05:49):
played they play play superheroes. They played like real, real,
like about that business dudes and movies. So we would
have had to have found out if Denzel and and
Tyler Perry was really about that smoke as well, you
know what I mean? Because Will might have I don't know,
Will would have needed help against no, No Chris Rock, though,
But I imagine if that was Imagine if that was
(06:10):
Joe Rogan, or if that was look imagine if that
was Tupac that said that. Imagine if Tupac was hosting
the Oscars and said, look like, look like we're gonna
have g I Jane to take place, and Will Smith
where would say what he did? He would have been
(06:31):
doing what he did when Chris Rock said it, laughing, laughing,
because I don't believe he would have walked walked up
there and smacked somebody like Steve Harvey. That wouldn't have happened.
Could you imagine if it was Steve Harvey would have
been he didna get down, Steve. Steve would have you
(06:51):
stepping on hard bottoms and all? What did the fingers
say to the face. I wouldn't be I wouldn't be
surprised if Chris Rock to him, man, Chris Rock, will
he got it? Listen and uh for him to be
(07:12):
for him to be as professional as he was in
the moment, like you gotta sue, You gotta sue because
you are. It is ubiquitously connected to Chris Rock. You
will forever, you will be dead and gone. A hundred
years after your death, people will still remember and reference you.
(07:34):
As they was talking about nothing about the Oscars. You, Hey,
next year, what they're gonna talk about? Hey, you remember
when Chris Rock got slapped at the Oscars last year?
Two years from now, you remember Will Smith slapp Chris
Rock Man, Chris Rock will be forever the guy that
got smacked at the Oscars, bro and then forever to leave.
(07:55):
He said, I ain't going nowhere. I'm gonna stay here
except my oscar for that's the fault performance with King
Richard and what up? Then get with speech, I ain't
going nowhere and and blamed him slapping Chris Rock on
being in character as Richard. If you saw the movie,
I ain't trying to be a spoiler, but when Richard
(08:16):
was trying to protect his people, he got beat down.
That's all I'm gonna saying. I'm gonna lead out at
that one. Right there. Let's let's jump into this Will
Smith's that's what you're rolling away. Hey, don't get Will Smith.
Don't get Will Smith. All right, let's I'm a Will Smith.
(08:38):
You let's transition this week's legendary moment. Let's jump to it.
Man High School, National powerhouse coach of St. Francis in Baltimore, Maryland.
My man coach mas Size, I call him, but y'all
know him as coach Massig. How to marry him? All right,
let's let's check out this week's legendary moment on Game Presents.
(09:04):
Conversations would a legend and now this is your legendary moment.
People could come from a genuine place, but you're not
turning that type of school into the type of powerhouse
that you turned it into. What was that? Like? What? What?
(09:25):
What was that process? It's extremely daunting, as you can
imagine the bar even coached at all levels, played at
the highest level. Um, it's an expensive sport, it's an
expensive platform. So there's a lot of sacrifice that have
even made a little bit personal. Um. It took a
lot to get that place become as as great as
(09:47):
it is, and it's all worth it. Um. At the
beginning of where you're going through it, you kind of
question it once in a while, is this is the
right thing I'm doing? Is it's gonna pay off? But
then I start seeing them go to college, start seeing
them accomplishing the goals they want. Our first two from
actually this program are playing National Football League. Um Gary
(10:09):
bright World plays for the New York Giants, and then
we have Damon Hazelton was the Houston Texas and then
there's gonna be more. Now that's a beautiful thing. But
they both got their degrees, they've got accomplished the goal
that and the NFL's I seen on the cake, and
so they're gonna pay it forward. That's the goal to get.
Get these guys, get their educations, put their families in
(10:30):
better positions. But grab one or two kids and say,
let me find a way to be able to support
this one and two collectively. The growth will allow that
school to continue to thrive. Although our community supports us,
but the neighboring schools don't want to play us, which
it was in a hard process for us, which has
caused us to have expenses That wasn't always like that. Now,
(10:53):
there were a lot of schools that joy whooping on y'all.
Eight out of the time. Games used to be somebody's homecoming, right,
So you know the term I use now the plus
that there's no fun. When the rabbit got no fun,
the rabbit thet Yeah, man, that's my man. Coach Masside,
We've been through a lot, my man Ricardo Dickerson shout out, Pacardo,
(11:14):
um part and played played a very large part, large
role in building that that program and bring guys in
and we were able to bring kids over here from
from Nigeria, Africa to be a part of it, and
just so many amazing stories connected to the growth in
the build out of that program Fellas. So it was
nice to hear from Coach Massigh in terms of where
(11:37):
things are. I mean, they have now turned into literally
a top five national power um every year. I mean
the school sits directly across from a county jail in Baltimore,
and when we first were going there, you would see
you know, used syringes and and broken bottles and all
(11:58):
kinds of trash um. I mean, there were so many
dope homes and and and and in the area. And
they have they have done something extraordinary there and I'm
just proud to to say I played a small a
small part of small role and the emergence and and
the build of of that school and what they've been
(12:20):
able to do there. So shots out the coach Massigh
shouts out to St. Francis and and the things that
they're doing that was this week's legendary moment. We're gonna
take a quick break. We're gonna come back, and on
the other side of the break, we're gonna have Georgia

(14:06):
was it playing at Georgia with so many other backs
that you're competing with initially? Do you feel like it's
a hindrance and moving forward? Will it be a positive
because you don't have as much wearing tearritor body moving forward?
The running backs half coming out of college? Um, yeah,
I mean it was an absolutely fuss um just my
(14:27):

guys that come out of mind you running back like
they run different. You know, they explosive. They can make
(15:09):
you miss. If we can't make you miss, we're gonna
punish you, we'll run you over. Exceptional vision so that

this the final year of his contracts the defending world
champion Atlanta Braves, and I say relief picture. Luke Jackson
has damaged to the ulner collateral ligament in his right arm.
(20:42):
Jackson is undergoing a comprehensive evaluation to determine next step.
But yeah, Devanta Parker now a New England Patriots fellas
back to you, all right, And speaking of free agents
and well signings, we should say in receivers um, Davante Adams.
That's that's or excuse me, Davanta Parker, that's that's an
(21:05):
interesting trade. But you know what's even more interesting to
you know what's interesting about that go they think that
highly of them that they trade him in the same division.
How about that, m I never understood that. How about
that They must don't think he can get open? He
can stay guys right, well, I know a guy who
can get open, and he seems to think that, you know,
(21:28):
he needs to have a team. What you say, Let
me let me hear that sound. Let me hear that sound.
I need to get my ankle fix. But I just
want to make sure ob amitment from a team without
an idea where you're gonna work or you're gonna work
for it. I would love to continue my career. I
still got a lot of game left in me, and
(21:50):
now you're seeing the highlights. I still feel like I
gonna put up big numbers, and I see what these
guys are getting paid. I just wonder why my value
is not being upheld. That's the same Maybe because I'm
already got the flag, the flame. I want you to
go first, listen if Aby was If Aby was on
(22:13):
the show right now, I'd be like, hey, it's around
you ain't playing no move you did. Just move on, man, Listen,
Ain't nobody bringing you into a locker room right now?
Because if I'm talking to him right or the angle,
it's the whole thing. It don't matter, don't it don't
matter if you get your ankle, fix your mom yesterday,
(22:35):
you ain't playing them on football because I said, oh, well,
it look like he ain't having surgery. Then he not
having surch like he he knows, he knows, like if
somebody brings him in any team, that person in that
(22:59):
front office needs to be let go immediately. What are
you thinking? What are you doing? And he's brought this
on himself, and it happens to so many guys. Man,
when they start talking about your personality more than your production,
it's the beginning of the end. And they've been doing
this for the last couple of years. It's a roupped.
(23:20):
So he said he's not having surgery until he gets
confirmation at a team is gonna sign him. Well, he
will no longer be having any surgeries related to the
National Football League of any injuries that he may have suffered.
I don't understand that strategy though. I don't either just
get it fixed. If you gotta get it fixed, just
get it fixed. They gotta be gun anyway, because because
why would you sign a contract? Why will somebody sign you?
(23:44):
Knowing as you already hurt. You can't pass a physical,
so therefore you cannot join the NFL roster. That's why,
that's how I thought it went. But he's got the flame,
the fire flame. Hey, that bad? That bad to panic?
Like Will Smith, he saw the contracts that these dudes
(24:05):
just get Davonte Adams with your boy? Just when who
who's our other receiver that just went and got a
big contract as well? And and Las Vegas? He just
went to Las Vegas, Davant all right, who's the other
one that just left? Who? Tyreek Kal went to Miami.
He killed Davante Adams, Christian Kirk, you just name him.
(24:27):
He see his money? He like, hey, man, should have
been acting right? Should have been acting right? Is there
any possible scenario? No, no, no, you gotta because you
gotta pass the physical first. Even passing passing, anybody, bring
them in for physical. They need to be fired. It's
(24:50):
that bad. While he needs surgery, that's my whole point.
So he ain't even gonna get a chance to pass, Okay,
if he didn't need, if he didn't need, sir and capacity.
If there's a chance that he gets in, it's a wrap,
wrap it up. You're not playing no more. There's no
teams out there, people, people, the people are not gonna
(25:11):
put up with it no more. Man, They're just not
gonna do all the antics and everything that you know
you do. The last display walking off that football field,
that was his last time on the football And then
how can you take him serious? When he's talking serious?
And then he tries to turn it into a bar.
I don't know what the bar is. He starts trying
(25:32):
to wrap like you can't even take him serious. He's
not taking himself. Man. You know I'm gonna get this injury,
and I see what And then he turns it into
a rap, like how can you take it serious? I'm
pretty you just can't. It's a wrap. Man. If you
(25:58):
were to tell him, what would his response be to you?
What do you believe that response that you will get
from him? I honestly believe that he believes that he's
going to play again. So if you told him it's over,
because he'd be like, no, no, it ain't no. He
probably telling your time. Your time came and went, Plex,
(26:20):
not it's my time. Plex Man, I got something sometimes
you got You gotta be honest with people, man, I
love him. I love him like a brother, and I
would tell him that to his face. I'm like, you
ain't playing no more, that's just he for show. Listens
to what's said on the radio and TV. Though, because
(26:42):
this this was I was at the super Bowl and
me and Edge and James were sitting down talking chopping
it up. A by walks up. He just looked at me.
Didn't want to say that word to me, bro, because
you guess he heard all the stuff I said about him.
He was mad man, he was in his feelings. I
won't people getting their feelings and have and I mean,
we gotta don't get will Smith. He'll learn real quick,
(27:08):
the wrong one, real quick, the wrong one I talked.
I'm ready for that. He walked. He walking out with
the gloves. Oh. Now I was dressed for that occasion
as well, so I was. I was good. So I'm
trying to tell you, hey, I was ready for everything
(27:31):
that night. Everything. I was good. All right, Look, before
we go to break, I want to throw this one
out at job. Now I know this about speaking of Vegas.
I know that t J has horrible eating habits with
with sweets and he don't get fat like me and
it's funny because he plex he was like, man, they
got this big, this big candy shop. We got to
(27:53):
go to this candy shop. I can't even breathe. Look,
we don't walk the whole entire strip. I can't breathe
and my legs is hurting. I was I was gassed.
And this dude just walking like all this energy and
he goes walking into the candy shop. I gotta ask y'all,
DK Metcalf. Listen to this sound bite about DK Metcalf
(28:13):
and his his dying. I want to hear what y'all
think about it. I'm a candy type person. What I
eat one meal a day, drink one coffee, and eat
like three fox bags of candy. I mean, how does that?
How does how do you look like that? And that's
what you're doing with yourself. Man, Listen, It's the craziest thing.
(28:37):
Because I re memb. We was in Vegas and we
had just finish up the show and we was in
the hallway meal of I was talking and we looked
up and t J was eating the Nutty Buddy. Yeah,
Nutty Boddy up. They had one of us is high school.
We was done or nothing. What you find that, but
y'all going back to DK metcalal Man. Listen, I had
(28:59):

the greatest running backs of all time. And his name
was a Danny and Thomas and man, man, I met
this man back in two thousand and left. We played
played with the same team New York just and it
feels like I had no in my whole life. And
we sat down and then meeting for the first day,
and I'm like, oh, man, that's lt Man. Like you know,
(29:20):
when you watch somebody play, you would think that his workout,
his workout was crazy. When you see him eat. He
was eating snickers, ice cream sandwiches, cookies and cream twicks.
I'm like, yo, hi, man, when you were running like
that eating that food, he said, Man, I'm a junk
(29:42):
food king. He was sitting in the meetings and eat
like three or four twigs in a row, and he
loved cookies and cream ice cream. We'll be on the place,
he knew. I got two in the freezer right now.
I'm like, yo, man, this ain't got a hundred and
thirties some touchdowns NFL, and this man is a junk
(30:05):
food king. Way more calories ate like that. It was unbelievable.
He no like me and be care very similar. I
don't eat four or five bags a day any longer.
I probably never did that. I've one or two, but
I eat one meal a day. I've never had coffee,
and damn my life, I don't even know what it
(30:26):
tastes like a cappuccin never ever a day in my life.
But I do eat tons of candy. I eat lots
of ice cream. I know that I eat pretty much
one day, drink tons of water. Uh, don't drink soda.
Might have a simple alcohol once or twice a year.
(30:47):

eat candy, drink you know that sugar? Hey, I just no,
I just taste different. Nah, I'm like mynd got my cupboards.
We got candy, but that cookies and cream Nolae got

Do you put them on your salads? Do you put
them on I don't get it on everything. I don't
put them on myself, but I probably should because I

spice about to have a Pittsburgh salad. I love fruit,
fresh fruit and salads. T J. We know there are
things that t J will not eat on the fruit list,
