Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'd like to welcome back onto the show. It seems
that there's something more important than football. Marriage and anniversary.
C K has one today they're celebrating Isaiah green is
joining us. That's more important. It wasn't me. It wasn't me, Isaiah.
Thank you for those that didn't hear us last week. Man,
(00:22):
we had a really good time. Of course, I was
a former Bulldog captain who went onto the NFL with
the Bills and the Steelers, And the more I've been
looking into him, we didn't talk about your time in
Canada with the Argonauts. What was that like playing out there?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Man?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
First of all, A happy anniversary to my guys, c K,
thanks for allowing me to fill in. I don't know,
I got some big shoes, but I wore a few socks, man,
just to make sure I can fit it properly. So
it Canada was a main drift, and it's it's good
to see you again.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, thank you, really well, thank you for making the dry.
Are we in Nicaragua, North Dakota, Mansa. It's like we're
not that far from where we just were, but it
feels different out here, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We're far enough we're far enough. Yeah, I definitely. I
can't remember the last time I've been out this way.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The growth that I saw from five years ago, the
last time I was out, the buildings and the new
stores coming out on lot of Deela Shaw. Did you
come out Shaw? I came down.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I did.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Okay, I did Shaw, And I saw a lot of
new building growth.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, that might have been fun a little more scenic route.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You probably took the scenic route. Yeah, that turns in
and I could believe most of it was four lanes
and most of the way out there. So the growth
that happens to cities you grew up in southern California
came up to Frenzo State and what was that O
seven and eight seven?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, two thousand and seven, two thousand and seven. And
in La is probably too fast. Well, I want to
say it's too fast, but you're right. I go back
to La now, trev and it is just developments everywhere.
You got trains going through the city, buildings all over
the place. Yeah, everything moves pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And I didn't realize how country folks the city can
be intimidating until I lived in the country and did
not really leave it for a year and then drove
into Buffalo. Even Buffalo, I was like, what it felt
so fast and I felt kind of paranoid on the freeway,
So I understand that there. Well, listen, man, I appreciate
you coming out, Isaiah, And of course we're here with
(02:14):
Treslo State Fridays at two Ravens Brewery and last weekend
there that at halftime just didn't know or we're gonna
be zero and two. Nobody wanted to say it. It
was fourteen to thirteen with Georgia Southern there, But had
you I guess maybe you can remember some games where
(02:34):
you came out of the locker room and exploded like that.
That was the second half explosion.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
There was a second half of explosion, and I cannot remember.
That's how far back I feel like it's been. I
cannot remember any games where we were in that close
of a game and came out and just turned the
tables drastically like this Bulldog team did this past weekend,
which I was really excited to see. Thirteen fourteen that half.
(03:02):
I think that's good coaching. That says a lot about
the coaching staff. That says a lot about the ability
to adjust says a lot about the ability to go
out and really speaking to your guys as a coach
to really.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Fire them up.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And man, you talk about a twenty eight nothing halftime performance,
a shut out by the defense, and then you gonna
put up twenty eight points on offense.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That's amazing. I think that was a great second half. Well,
I'm glad that they're not at home this weekend with
this because we really can't. We're close to the foothills
right here where we are two ravens. That's some smoky
air out there. Do you recall State gamesman? No?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The fallward No, no, man, I feel like this heat
and just climate change man, has been taking place. It's
it's just a lot going on. So prayers and thoughts
up to those folks in the mountain areas.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, and at five point thirty, we're goingad for Reseneal
County Supervisor Nathan Max joining us out here to talk
about the fires at his region. They've been all over that,
So yeah, I'm glad were there. Nobody is having to
fly in and play here, much less bulldogs having to
play under these conditions. And so by next weekend we
get the skies cleared out here, but up in Oregon.
(04:11):
I know a lot of people excited, a lot of
people going up for the game. It's one of those
that's close enough for folks if they do want to
drive or a quick flight up there as well. Redwave
will probably be pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Much midwell, absolutely, well, what's.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That feel like when you're playing somewhere and you look
up like that you could be in the Midwest? Any
great question? You might see you know a little bit,
but it gives you a bump up, doesn't it? Great question?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'll say this to two games come to mind Ucla.
When we went down and played UCLA in the Rose Bowl.
By the way, my favorite stadium that I've gotten to
play in as a Fresent State Bulldog outside of Valley
Children's which was Bulldog Stadium at the time, was the
Rose Bowl. We went to the Rose Bowl and kicked
UCLA's Ask can I say that on the radio for GIV?
(04:57):
I mean, I'm here now, Well, you know, okay, got
your cracks crack And we went up there. We went
down to the Rose Bowl and to see how well
the Red Wave represented Fresno, I'm literally half of the
Rose Bowl just felt like it was our stadium. And
(05:20):
it was probably one of the coolest experiences that I've
ever I can remember. And we went down here in
one and we went down there in one, and then
of course you go to Nebraska and they're probably some
of the nicest fans you'll ever meet more corner Huskers
down that way, but everybody was wearing red and you
kind of was like, Okay, you know there's our section,
the rowdy folks over there.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's that's Fresno State.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But it's always a good It's always great when you
see the red wave and attendance.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Man, it makes it feel like home. My coho swim
me out here at two ravens. I say, a green
former Bulldog went onto the NFL with the Bills Steelers
and also played up in Canada with the Toronto Argonauts.
That had to be the big celebration after you get
a victory like that on the way home, and the
only thing I can correlate it to is high school baseball.
And we lost a lot, so I had a lot
of these memories on the bus when we would lose
(06:10):
or maybe lose even a real close game and people
would be joking around and already liked it. It didn't
matter as a captain of the team. Do you set
that tone? What was that like when college football team loses?
And would it be quiet on the way back? You
know what?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I've I have a few stories, unfortunately, I can tell
by the look on your face here.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, you have to get mad at somebody, you know what.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And I feel like I'm very I'm a little I'm
a levelheaded guy, right, so I try not to get
overly expressive when it comes to anger. But there were
a few times my senior year, Trevor, where we had
a good enough team.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
We played ole Miss one year.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We played them twice my junior year and my senior year,
and we played them at the at the Fresno State Stadium,
and we had a chance to win. I think we
we went down maybe in the fourth quarter, and I
remember some of the guys on our we were on defense,
we were still on the field, there were a few
few ticks still left on the clock, and our guys
were like shaking their hands. A few of our guys
(07:11):
were like talking nice to them, and I just remember
being so freaking furious with my own team, like they
just came in here and beat us, and you and
we're like.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And you're already just ind like, hey, happy about this,
but let me put you on my Christmas card list.
Kind of. It was horrible. It was horrible.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That was the first time I remember going into the
locker room like slamming my my helmet against the lockers,
just in frustration, partly because it's like, you know, you
gotta have a dog mentality. Man, we don't want to
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We don't like that. But in an interesting how sports
like football will sit around and talk like they well
I guess a lot of them just maybe go to
college or play together after basketball will even kind of
say what's up to each other? Baseball never does unless
you're in little league. Uh just hockey. I'm trying to think,
did they skate by each other?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Man?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I feel like neck with a punker, you know, drop
the gloves and start throwing it right right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Baseball doesn't do it after the game. We do it
as kids, but when we grow up and they become pros,
there's none of that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know, there's a there's a level of respect though
in the brotherhood of football, which I appreciate, especially as
you get older to the NFL because it's such a
challenging game, and it's such a you understand the demands
on the body and of course everything that you have
to deal with as far as the business goes, but
there's a level of respect that you often see. We'll
(08:30):
talk trash. I don't know if you'll spit on somebody else.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, let's talk about that last night. That was something
that you don't see every day, uh Jalen Carter of
the Eagles, And wasn't it right before it started? Because
I grabbed it like I caught for half. Yeah, I
caught it. I caught it right. I saw the low light.
We can't call that a highlight. I mean they played
(08:54):
it like a highlight. It looked like Prescott spit on
the ground to the left of Carter, and then Carter
obviously came up and spit like maybe right where he
would have his tie on if he had a.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Suit, right there, right there where you get the not right?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean it was direct and there was
a ref right there. And I guess that's an uncomfortable
team meeting, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean, first of all, I commend mister Prescott for
keeping his cool because I don't know how I would
have reacted in that situation. But he has a good temperament,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You don't see that often, and if you do see it,
it's in a dog pile where you can't see much
of anything, where there's a bunch of kicking and scratching
and punching going on down that way. But with all
of these this technology, man, they slowed that thing down,
like they replayed it and slowed it down for everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I am so glad this question popped in my head
that I have Isaiah Green with me here when I
watched miked Up NFL. Are they really doing all that
trash talking and being funny because they're miked up? Or
is that really kind of how it is all the time.
It's like that all the time, all the time. It is.
And that's one of the things I love about sports.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You really get to express yourself in a way that
is like.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's the arena, that's what you get to do there.
You're going physical, but you're getting in the mind as well.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Right, It's part of it, and it's where you good welcome,
you know what. I don't know if I was good
at it, but I love to do it. Though I
love to do it. I'm an instigator, man. I'm about
five nine, five ten, you know, one hundred eighty pounds,
one hundred eighty five. When I was playing, man, I
was a little pest. Man, I talk stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I wonder if in literally now they even like, let
hey bat or bad or batter you know that, dude,
they let them. I bet they're like, hey, that's not fair.
Let him concentrate.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Man. I don't know, man, I feel like these kids are.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Worse by not being able to go. Hey, you couldn't
hit water if you fell out of a boat.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm watching some of these kids on like some of
these social platforms. I'm like, h where are these kids parents?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Are they talking like this on the regular?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Like, jeez, No, it's very much the opposite I've seen.
I've seen these kids have no fieldter you mean out
on the like I'm saying, like field, Oh okayeah on.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The football field. I'm not too familiar with it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I never played baseball. Okay, that's one sport I've never
never played.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
If I recall, wasn't Darryl Strawberry kind of famous from
your neck of the wood?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, absolutely down went to UCLA, right, I believe so
I wasn't you.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Know Crimshaw he went to Maybe he probably did. And
the thing about it is, do you remember when sports
Illa Sheety used to have on the record or off
the record on the back of those little black and
white pictures. I don't know if I say no, you're no, no,
I'm talking. This is nineteen seventy eight. Oh yeah, I
was twelve years old. They used to have like high
(11:47):
school and like people to watch out for. And I
said them. When I saw a picture and it said
Darryl Strawberry, it was a picture of him in high school,
I said, well, that's going to be an easy name
to remember. And lo and behold, there he was in
nineteen eighty six, hitting home run stort cocaine. And he's
still the house all day. Yeah, he's turned his light around. No,
(12:08):
he's turned his life around. He's touching people's eyes going
around now and oh really and witnessing for the Lord
love and so yeah, it's good. Well we're gonna bless somebody.

Going to perform. I think they took a big loss
last week to col Right, So you're talking to a
news talk guy that's trying to fake it like you're
a baseball guy. You like, I still got my Roger
Stallbach though Dallas Cowboy poster. Yeah, I got my Dallas
Cowboy Weekly. So you were a Cowboy fan, Yeah, I was.
I'm more of college football now. I don't know. I
(15:05):
just I become more of a player, like Josh Allen
from the Valley. Now, I kind of like more into
the Bills. I become more of a player you and
I don't know if that's my age or if people
are going in that direct. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
So I've got a chance to play in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Blast.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I tell people all the time, I never had a team.
I've never been a fan of an NFL team. I
was like, you I was a players guy growing up.
Jerry Rice, Charles Woodson, Ray Lewis, Like, those were the
guys that I idolized and looked after junior, sayou like,
those were guys, But I never had a team. And
guess what, fun fact, my first NFL game that I've
(15:41):
ever attended was the very first game that.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I played in. Wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Really that was a real nice against the Washington Redskin.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Okay, but when you were Okay, you were born in
eighty nine and in ninety nine you were ten years old.
That's when boys are really getting into sports. It's who
was that? Were the Raiders that back? I can't even
remember the Rams already.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean, so you had the Rams because I think
Drews Kurt Warners they were in Saint Louis, Oakland?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Was the Raiders were in Oakland? They bounced back and
forth a few times.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, correct, correct, So they were in Oakland. Raiders were
in Oakland by that time. You know, the who wasn't
a whole lot of football? No, but I did. Look again,
you had Jerry Rice. Uh, you had Jerry Rice, Rich
Gannon and Charles Woodson on the same team. Uh in
Oakland with the Raiders, and that was the year that
I started to hate Tom Brady. If you're a Raider
(16:37):
fan or Charles Woodson fed, you know exactly what I'm
talking about. But somebody said, yep, that's no game. You
know what I'm talking about. It was a fumble. It
was a fumble that that propelled Tom Brady's whole career.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Anyway, don't get me started. How many people think his
wife does which rituals before games? Tom Brady? It as
many as you can get one point four billion dollars. Somehow,
I don't know, YouTube got the idea that I was
interested in how lottery winners end up. Uh, last night
I woke up. You know, if you're a falling asleep
(17:14):
to YouTube, wake up and something's on that you didn't choose,
and it just kept rolling and it's kind of startling
or something in the middle of the night. Was something
startled you with YouTube? Something startled you?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Man?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What was it? No? I was suddenly I woke up
the night and then some guy from the UK I
lost all my money, like just screaming loud, I'm like,
what is going on? Before I could shut it off,
I got to see, like what the title was? Lottery winners.
A lot of people's lives go the wrong way when
they win that. That's a lot of money, that kind
of money, that's a lot of What would you do
(17:43):
if you.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Want one point x billion dollars? First thing, thinking too
hard man, spend something.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm showing you exactly what I would do. Just talk anymore.
We're there, that's fair. I'd be quiet. Nobody would know
where I went. I don't think anybody would know that
I won. That's the thing about it, right, you don't.
I wouldn't be one of these on Facebook where eybody
in high school would know that suddenly I'm that guy. Right,
even if they wanted to do the commercial with the
(18:13):
state where they bring out the big check, I would
look like Kanye with one of those faces of Fresno winner.
That's it. There's a mask, and I would shake. Are
you excited? My head would shake. They would By the
shape I'm in, they would assume maybe female. But you know,
I'd have to get a little loose clothing up here
(18:34):
on the chest region here. But listen, my guests here,
Thank you so much. Isaiah Green former Bulldog cap and
went on with the Bills and the Steelers, and we
were talking about when you grew up in LA with
football teams and the communities. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, They're so into
their teams. And the reason is there's really not a
(18:55):
whole lot more that in that kind of cold weather.
LA has so many for a team to catch, you know,
to you know grab LA. You almost gotta go to
the championship like the Lakers and Dodgers, you know, you
really do, because there's so much other stuff to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No, absolutely, And I grew up a Laker fan. Right,
Kobe Bryant is my goat. I will debate and argue
anybody over that, but I grew up a Laker fan.
One of the things that I really, I really love
about it. You know, they say West Coast is the
best coast. I really believe that. I really believe that.
Now Toronto was amazing. I did get to spend a
few years in Toronto in the CFL. But the weather
(19:31):
that we.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Have here in California.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Is just top level. Man Like, Pittsburgh has the Pirates,
they have the Penguins, they have the Stealers, which have
the best fans across the world, literally, but it the weather.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It's just it's not like. It's not like us. It's
not like la.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Come on, well, Isaia, I always say, unless you've experienced it.
I said to God, get me out of the cold Lord,
and I'll never complain about heat again. And when it's
one hundred than eleven and I'm in a hot car,
I don't complain. I will say, yes, it is hot,
but I'm not gonna complain. And if you don't know
what we're talking about, when you get home tonight, just
go in there, put your head in the freezer for
(20:13):
what seventeen minutes and just see what that would feel.
Oh my gosh, you know what? And it's it's uh.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It is one of those deals where anytime a summer
comes around in Fresno, you will be hot.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You know that's good man.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Look you give you a word. I love that. Yes,
not complaining because I know that cool weather with a
chili on and the football game is coming up. Don't
you like that? What's your favorite month out of the
entire year, if you could have it all twelve months
should be that month? Well, I mean it depends, It depends.
I think I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It depends it depends on where I'm at in the world. Okay,
so I'll say this. You're gonna write it down right.
I know what you I think, I know what you're
gonna say. Okay, goo ahead, I'm gonna I'm gonna switch
it up on you.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
My favorite month. Just if I had one month, that
would be all twelve Monthsruary. Okay, I had October, October.
You got almost all the sports going on at the
same month. That's fair. Why February. You know what.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I love the weather in February. I love the February.
I love the February not too hot, not too cold,
especially here in this part of the region.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Not too hot, not too cold. I love the we
February in California it can be kind of wintery where
you have to say, hold on, let me put my
shoes on to run out to the car because it
could be raining. That's that's all you got. It could be.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But it's it's it's good enough to where the sun
is out and you can wear your nice cold you
can wear you.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Know you can. You can dress it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
That's one thing I do love about being on the
East Coast is you get all four seasons, and you know,
you get to you get to swag it out a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You get to dress in the sweater with the scarf
and hoodie.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You can do so you can you can do hard
bottles with a nice cold. You can wear shoes.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I mean, you can do so much. All right. Last
weekend I noticed you were more sports attire, or you
got somewhere a little fancy here that you had to
after this, I noticed here you got a little more
of a nicer shirt on. Here are you into your fashion?
I think? I think, what does your closet look like?
Are the wooden hangers or are their plastic hangers? That
tells if a man's fashion, what is it? What is
(22:19):
a little bit of both, a little bit of both.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I keep the wire hangers after I get the after
I get them out of the cleaners, you know, but
most of them all.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, the fact that you're even said cleaners, that goes
to show right there.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
They man soot, I can't put all my jez into washingers.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I was just talking to Asian squires back at the
station here this morning, but he's on his way to
the cleaners, and I said, how long you've been doing?
He said, oh no, no, not my whole life. But
he says it's nice shirts and polos and that that
kind of thing. You know, you're not taking your boxers
and no you do that? Get that going on at home?
Isaiah Green as our guest here, I want to talk
(22:55):
about a few other things you've done, and we we
kind of touched on a little last weekend, but after
you got out of football, I'm just gonna say, I'm
going to ask which one you want to talk about?
You want to talk about you being the assistant Deputy
director at the California Office of Small Business Advocates, the
board member at Fresnel Housing, the board member of United Way,
(23:15):
the board member of Valley teen Ratch, your work with
at risk youth, or the fact you went back to
get your Master of Divinity And I got to ask
you if you're preparing for ordination? So you like to talk.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
About and we can use this dartboard right over here
at UH two Ravers Brewer Week. We could just put
one of those things up there, and you've.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Got to you got a calling though, I can see
here because you're helping kids at at risk.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, you know, it's a great question. So one of
the things that as I transitioned out of sports. And
we talked a little bit about the transition last week, right,
one of the things that I really just wanted to
dial in on is where do where are my passions?
Where do I want to add value? You know, I
always believe that the greatest among you will serve, and
so where do I want to start serving? You know,
(24:05):
those young men that look like me, that may have
similar experiences or similar challenges, whatever the case may be.
And utilize my platform, utilize my experience, utilize my network
and my resources to be able to give back and support.
And so that was one thing that I leaned into it.
And it's been a journey. It has been a journey
(24:25):
from two thy and seventeen to today. I tell people
all the time, the pace of life is so different
outside of professional sports, completely different.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, then it's focused on you because you are your paycheck.
You got to focus on your legs, your arms, your mind,
all of that. You have to deter people from coming
in and influencing the wrong way. I bet now looking
back at NFL really needs well I think all kids need,
but you are a kid still when you're young and
(24:57):
a rookie and moving in. They don't have that or
do they that welcome to the NFL like did they
do in the World War two veter army things. Watch out,
here's what you're gonna face in Germany, young soldier. Did
they give you any of that stuff? They do?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
They do, And it all really depends on the level
of your It all depends on how you entered the league.
So I entered the league as a undrafted free agent.
And so there's a rookie symposium that all of the
two hundred plus drafted players have to attend prior to
(25:33):
an NFL season. But then again you realize there's another
additional two to three hundred players that come in through
another avenue, which is which are undrafted like myself, and
so I didn't get to attend the rookie symposium. So
what they do is when you get into a team,
they have people come and speak and we have classes
here and there. But it's been it's been a challenge.
(25:55):
It was it was a challenge. It was a challenge.
And twenty two years twenty two years old, you know,
to figure this thing out.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Did you have a family member that shut you down
on the couch and said young man, boy, there's gonna
be a lot of temptation coming you, right, inks stuff
like that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I mean, you have family, you had support, which was great.
You have family and supports was great. But you know,
I was the first one in my family to walk
this path, to travel this path, and so that's unique
in itself, right.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, Isaiah, I love getting all this behind the cements anytime, anytime,
I can talk about this all day. Well, really, I'm
out here till six. I know you said you'd say
till four. You really you want to know I'm kidding.
I appreciate you, and no, I appreciate you coming out.
Isaiah Green. We're at two Ravens Brewery at fifty fifty
four North Academy. Just gps that up North Academy, and
(26:43):
I really feel like I'm somewhere that's I wasn't just
the food. Moments before I started driving down Shaw the
owner of two Ravens, Mark Dyson, Mark, how long has
this place been in biz here? Man? You got a
lot of you got a lot of timber up there, man, Yes,
for sure, I'm looking at the roof.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah. Well, first of all, that was impressive. I'm a
little nervous going after that, that was pretty cool. Thanks
for sharing all that.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey there's room in here to bring a football and
the actually employed a little too on two. Oh I'm down.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I looked at this guy. I'm like, man, I
know he's this guy's I'm like him, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, defensive end? What what what? What would I'd be
a field goal? Uh? Yeah? D N I like d En.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I like Dan still got still slim with real musculary Yeah.
I like yeah, Hey, Mark, where are you from?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I'm from here originally Fresno area. I came out to
this far into clothes, kicking and screaming about eight years ago.
And you know, you and I talked earlier and you said,
you're driving out here. It feels like you're you could
be in Texas, you could be in any any part
of it, but it feels like you're going out of town.
And I didn't like the I didn't want to such
(27:55):
a long drive. I didn't want to come out and
it's my favorite part. I really enjoy that. So it
does feel like you're out of town, which I think
is really cool.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So you builds you a little bunker out back or
are you still driving out the road.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I'm going I'm gonna keep that close to the coffee.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I gotta be. Here's what I said driving out here,
Hollywood could come up here and film like a cartel
nic er roguin. I saw beautiful mansions with swimming pools
and palm trees, and you could see the mountains, and
it felt Central America. Yeah, it really did. Yeah, And
I'm not talking about the people that I saw him,
talking about the architecture and the topography of the landscape
(28:34):
out there as well.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, it's really cool, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I don't know. And then suddenly I'm in the parking lot,
not looking at the mountains. I'm talking to my mom
and dad in Tennessee, and I go, I don't know
if I'm in Temple Kalleen, Texas or North Dakota. Suddenly
I saw like eight pickups here at the at the
four way stop out here. You do know, if you
keep owning this mark, in ten years, you'll probably be
surrounded absolutely with subways and homes. I could not believe
(29:01):
that whole shopping center of the Loma.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
What is Zelma Vista? Yeah, that's that's just still coming
coming together.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And yeah, thinking new, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Well? Ye, yeah, yeah, we you know, and there's there's
a lot of things to look at. It's really cool
to have this little place out here by ourselves, if
you will. But as a business owner, hell, that's that's
important too, right, We're looking at the growth and all
of that, so we're seeing it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
It's kind of the first thing Isaiah said when he
walked in. He said, I saw a pizza. Oh yeah,
down the sidewalk here. Oh yeah, what it is? It's
I'm gonna say, what is it? Four or five businesses
in a row, the gas station in a four waist stop.
That's it. That's all. It is. Hardly any trees either, right,
there's just a pretty just a few out here. Normally
you got a mountain view out the back door here,
(29:44):
but not with the smoke. But like you said, it's
in a few years. The development is everything is moving east. Yeah,
so in a few years. I mean you you don't
know why they didn't start here, right, Why do they
closer to the mountain. I guess it was probably the
railroad track. If that's normally we're.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Probably but you know, that's we try to take advantage.
We do a lot of events out back, so we
have a stage and a setup out back, and it
just overlooks the mountains that we try to take advantage
of that.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You said you can't kicking and screaming. What do you
mean when you said that just wasn't.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I was a Fresno kid, you know, and I didn't
want to move out into the country, and and I wasn't.
I wasn't familiar with it. And but coming out here
it's just really peaceful thing slow and everything's very slow.
So I I go to River Park and I'm like, man,
the traffic it's terrible, you know. So I just I.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Enjoyed out here.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That's awesome. That's awesome. Hey, uh, you do this real
stout stuff that people have malt and barley in their
teeth when they drink in and then you go to
some of the lighter stuff as well.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Correct, we've got we've got the tar, and we've got
the light stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
We've got guitar, what you call the tar out here.
I hear you have a little like a a group
a congregation of folks at the mug club.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
We've got the bug clubs.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So I was telling me about that, like on you
guys do all different kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yes, yeah. Yeah, so we again we.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Are you a cult leader? Are you leader?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
No? I mean you guys like, yeah, all congregate together,
don't you. Yeah, it's not just the normal you're doing.
The sense of community. It's it is all about tell
tell everybody what they do so they don't think I'm
being Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
So we have our mug club and and and we're
about one hundred deep into that and it's a really
close it's like cheers out here, it really is. And
we the diversity isn't incredible. I mean I had my
own thoughts of what it might look like. It couldn't
have been further from the truth. I mean, every walk
of life, and uh, it's really that really to me
(31:39):
is the most the thing I'm most proud of is
watching the different people. We've got a cowboy and a
punk rocker that became best friends, and it goes on
and on and on.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
You run into mug clubbers at the grocery store, Yeah
I do.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeah, yeah, see the mud clubbers and you know, but
but it just really is cool to you know. That's
the whole idea, right is to build a culture here
in a community that people get together.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
And Isaiah, we might have to join all your requests,
ask for your cell phone and your four digit pan
on your ATM. That's all right, I'll speak Friday.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I don't know about you, but I'll let Isaiah in.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Just to be nice, nice, nice as I don't know
you missed something about tar man as long as I
have to drink the tar I.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Mean, I'm gay. I'm gay. How late are you opening
at night out here?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So on the weekends, r out here till midnight. It
so Friday, Saturday and ten o'clock on weekdays excluding Mondays.
We do a thing on Monday and we just it's seasonal,
but we do what it's called Mondays that matter. So
we pick a whatever that might be a lot of
it is youth sports, right for saying er and clothes schools,
(32:45):
and they'll come out and do you kind of a
charitable event and then we'll give back a portion of that.
So we save that for Mondays. And then we're open
till ten every day and twelve on Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well, it's what keeps our country, our state, our community's going.
Our smoke. Small local businesses. Do you enjoyed? I know
you got to pay your own paycheck out there? What
made you? What made you jump out and do this?
What'd you say three years ago? For?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, this is actually our third Our birthday was September.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Okay, you stepped out, You stepped out onto the ice.
Had you own your own or work for somebody before?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
In the mid I did own a business prior to that.
And I'm a serial hobbyist. I've always been had my
hands in something or other, from toy fish to tattooing,
to to beer, and beer's the one that stuck. I
just really enjoyed the brewing and love the art of it.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
And you still you still tatt and do all that.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I don't not have time.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
So I was gonna say, it's only on your right arm?
Is there any on your left?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Man?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I have them all over. I don't know. I think
you got me beat though, but I got I have
a few. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just too afraid of needles.
And it wasn't the thing when I was going to
be out that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
They say, once you get your first one, you don't
look back.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
No, we have an attatto artist that comes out here
for the events.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, well it would take some of that tar, about
eight eight glasses of that tar. That'll all right. Put
Nixon right between my back shoulder blades on the back,
Nick in there. Dyson with the beer mug right all right, yeah,
beer mug clube number brand me is the number however
you do that. It's a good sense of community out here.
(34:24):
And this actually is like a painting or something out here.
I mean this intersection right here, it's definitely unique.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, I appreciate you. Thanks for coming out, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We're gonna come back. We're gonna recap what's going on
this weekend. President State now one in one. They got
the running game going, Isaiah. That that was big in
the second half and that explosion, man, when they just
ripped it out, that's what we needed to do. We
need to do it again next week. All right. It's
the Trevor Nation all Over the Place tour. We're live
in two Ravens Brewery, five zero five four North Academy
(34:55):
on the outskirts of Clothes and it's our simulcast on
sports normally. He's got a wedding and anniversary. Isaiah Green
co hosting with me this hour. Isaiah, thank you so
much for being out here. He's a former Bulldog cap
and went onto the NFL with the Bills and the Steelers.
And we have tickets for Blake Shelton and Pittbull. You've
seen either a concert go er.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know what, I just became a concert girl more recently.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, pretty cool. Well, we got them also tickets to
Midland and also tickets for Fresno State as they come
back next weekend to take on Southern University. But this
weekend they're going to be up in Oregon. And with
all the name image and likeness, I had so many
questions for you, Isaiah, but this is one I want
to get in before you take off. What's the incentive
(35:41):
with name image and likeness for local business to invest
in endorsements and these athletes if they just might lead
the next year, because name recognition in a market is key, right.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I think it is. I think it's a twofold. You
have to look at it as a win win situation
from what I know. One, you get to brand your business,
your company, your logo, your legacy, and also merge with
Fresno State organization and history, right, and then also it's
an investment into these younger athletes, and so it's an
opportunity for the athletes to be able to learn what branding,
(36:11):
what marketing, what they want their image to sort of represent.
For me, I think it also propels them for life
after sports. What do you want to sort of relate
yourself to right, And then also with the opportunity to
continue to foster those partnerships and relationships right here in
the city of Fresno and the Fresno State Organization. So
(36:31):
it's a win win for both parties.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I think that time I really became aware of how
big it was was the local story of the Cavaner
Twins basketball first of State going to Miami and wrestling
and wa're.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Right, Yeah, they made a huge deal off of.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
The Times Square. Yeah. Absolutely, a lot of people this
is happening. You've been serving on a whole lot of boards.
We need to get a groag sale board. Are you
this way you're driving around and garage sales. All they
need to do is just have an arrow neon signed arrow.
People write ad dresses down and all boxes. Yeah, with
(37:11):
this like time on it just just it's just the arrow.
You don't get to see it on the way as
you're driving by. I'm going to talk about that more
next hour here the Assistant Trevor Jerry Show, Mondo Valley's
Power Talk
I'd like to welcome back onto the show. It seems
that there's something more important than football. Marriage and anniversary.
C K has one today they're celebrating Isaiah green is
joining us. That's more important. It wasn't me. It wasn't me, Isaiah.
Thank you for those that didn't hear us last week. Man,
(00:22):
we had a really good time. Of course, I was
a former Bulldog captain who went onto the NFL with
the Bills and the Steelers, And the more I've been
looking into him, we didn't talk about your time in
Canada with the Argonauts. What was that like playing out there?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Man?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
First of all, A happy anniversary to my guys, c K,
thanks for allowing me to fill in. I don't know,
I got some big shoes, but I wore a few socks, man,
just to make sure I can fit it properly. So
it Canada was a main drift, and it's it's good
to see you again.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, thank you, really well, thank you for making the dry.
Are we in Nicaragua, North Dakota, Mansa. It's like we're
not that far from where we just were, but it
feels different out here, doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We're far enough we're far enough. Yeah, I definitely. I
can't remember the last time I've been out this way.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The growth that I saw from five years ago, the
last time I was out, the buildings and the new
stores coming out on lot of Deela Shaw. Did you
come out Shaw? I came down.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I did.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Okay, I did Shaw, And I saw a lot of
new building growth.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, that might have been fun a little more scenic route.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You probably took the scenic route. Yeah, that turns in
and I could believe most of it was four lanes
and most of the way out there. So the growth
that happens to cities you grew up in southern California
came up to Frenzo State and what was that O
seven and eight seven?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, two thousand and seven, two thousand and seven. And
in La is probably too fast. Well, I want to
say it's too fast, but you're right. I go back
to La now, trev and it is just developments everywhere.
You got trains going through the city, buildings all over
the place. Yeah, everything moves pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And I didn't realize how country folks the city can
be intimidating until I lived in the country and did
not really leave it for a year and then drove
into Buffalo. Even Buffalo, I was like, what it felt
so fast and I felt kind of paranoid on the freeway,
So I understand that there. Well, listen, man, I appreciate
you coming out, Isaiah, And of course we're here with
(02:14):
Treslo State Fridays at two Ravens Brewery and last weekend
there that at halftime just didn't know or we're gonna
be zero and two. Nobody wanted to say it. It
was fourteen to thirteen with Georgia Southern there, But had
you I guess maybe you can remember some games where
(02:34):
you came out of the locker room and exploded like that.
That was the second half explosion.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
There was a second half of explosion, and I cannot remember.
That's how far back I feel like it's been. I
cannot remember any games where we were in that close
of a game and came out and just turned the
tables drastically like this Bulldog team did this past weekend,
which I was really excited to see. Thirteen fourteen that half.
(03:02):
I think that's good coaching. That says a lot about
the coaching staff. That says a lot about the ability
to adjust says a lot about the ability to go
out and really speaking to your guys as a coach
to really.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Fire them up.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And man, you talk about a twenty eight nothing halftime performance,
a shut out by the defense, and then you gonna
put up twenty eight points on offense.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That's amazing. I think that was a great second half. Well,
I'm glad that they're not at home this weekend with
this because we really can't. We're close to the foothills
right here where we are two ravens. That's some smoky
air out there. Do you recall State gamesman? No?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The fallward No, no, man, I feel like this heat
and just climate change man, has been taking place. It's
it's just a lot going on. So prayers and thoughts
up to those folks in the mountain areas.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, and at five point thirty, we're goingad for Reseneal
County Supervisor Nathan Max joining us out here to talk
about the fires at his region. They've been all over that,
So yeah, I'm glad were there. Nobody is having to
fly in and play here, much less bulldogs having to
play under these conditions. And so by next weekend we
get the skies cleared out here, but up in Oregon.
(04:11):
I know a lot of people excited, a lot of
people going up for the game. It's one of those
that's close enough for folks if they do want to
drive or a quick flight up there as well. Redwave
will probably be pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Much midwell, absolutely, well, what's.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That feel like when you're playing somewhere and you look
up like that you could be in the Midwest? Any
great question? You might see you know a little bit,
but it gives you a bump up, doesn't it? Great question?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'll say this to two games come to mind Ucla.
When we went down and played UCLA in the Rose Bowl.
By the way, my favorite stadium that I've gotten to
play in as a Fresent State Bulldog outside of Valley
Children's which was Bulldog Stadium at the time, was the
Rose Bowl. We went to the Rose Bowl and kicked
UCLA's Ask can I say that on the radio for GIV?
(04:57):
I mean, I'm here now, Well, you know, okay, got
your cracks crack And we went up there. We went
down to the Rose Bowl and to see how well
the Red Wave represented Fresno, I'm literally half of the
Rose Bowl just felt like it was our stadium. And
(05:20):
it was probably one of the coolest experiences that I've
ever I can remember. And we went down here in
one and we went down there in one, and then
of course you go to Nebraska and they're probably some
of the nicest fans you'll ever meet more corner Huskers
down that way, but everybody was wearing red and you
kind of was like, Okay, you know there's our section,
the rowdy folks over there.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's that's Fresno State.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But it's always a good It's always great when you
see the red wave and attendance.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Man, it makes it feel like home. My coho swim
me out here at two ravens. I say, a green
former Bulldog went onto the NFL with the Bills Steelers
and also played up in Canada with the Toronto Argonauts.
That had to be the big celebration after you get
a victory like that on the way home, and the
only thing I can correlate it to is high school baseball.
And we lost a lot, so I had a lot
of these memories on the bus when we would lose
(06:10):
or maybe lose even a real close game and people
would be joking around and already liked it. It didn't
matter as a captain of the team. Do you set
that tone? What was that like when college football team loses?
And would it be quiet on the way back? You
know what?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I've I have a few stories, unfortunately, I can tell
by the look on your face here.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, you have to get mad at somebody, you know what.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And I feel like I'm very I'm a little I'm
a levelheaded guy, right, so I try not to get
overly expressive when it comes to anger. But there were
a few times my senior year, Trevor, where we had
a good enough team.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
We played ole Miss one year.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We played them twice my junior year and my senior year,
and we played them at the at the Fresno State Stadium,
and we had a chance to win. I think we
we went down maybe in the fourth quarter, and I
remember some of the guys on our we were on defense,
we were still on the field, there were a few
few ticks still left on the clock, and our guys
were like shaking their hands. A few of our guys
(07:11):
were like talking nice to them, and I just remember
being so freaking furious with my own team, like they
just came in here and beat us, and you and
we're like.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And you're already just ind like, hey, happy about this,
but let me put you on my Christmas card list.
Kind of. It was horrible. It was horrible.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That was the first time I remember going into the
locker room like slamming my my helmet against the lockers,
just in frustration, partly because it's like, you know, you
gotta have a dog mentality. Man, we don't want to
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We don't like that. But in an interesting how sports
like football will sit around and talk like they well
I guess a lot of them just maybe go to
college or play together after basketball will even kind of
say what's up to each other? Baseball never does unless
you're in little league. Uh just hockey. I'm trying to think,
did they skate by each other?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Man?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I feel like neck with a punker, you know, drop
the gloves and start throwing it right right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Baseball doesn't do it after the game. We do it
as kids, but when we grow up and they become pros,
there's none of that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know, there's a there's a level of respect though
in the brotherhood of football, which I appreciate, especially as
you get older to the NFL because it's such a
challenging game, and it's such a you understand the demands
on the body and of course everything that you have
to deal with as far as the business goes, but
there's a level of respect that you often see. We'll
(08:30):
talk trash. I don't know if you'll spit on somebody else.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, let's talk about that last night. That was something
that you don't see every day, uh Jalen Carter of
the Eagles, And wasn't it right before it started? Because
I grabbed it like I caught for half. Yeah, I
caught it. I caught it right. I saw the low light.
We can't call that a highlight. I mean they played
(08:54):
it like a highlight. It looked like Prescott spit on
the ground to the left of Carter, and then Carter
obviously came up and spit like maybe right where he
would have his tie on if he had a.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Suit, right there, right there where you get the not right?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean it was direct and there was
a ref right there. And I guess that's an uncomfortable
team meeting, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean, first of all, I commend mister Prescott for
keeping his cool because I don't know how I would
have reacted in that situation. But he has a good temperament,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You don't see that often, and if you do see it,
it's in a dog pile where you can't see much
of anything, where there's a bunch of kicking and scratching
and punching going on down that way. But with all
of these this technology, man, they slowed that thing down,
like they replayed it and slowed it down for everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I am so glad this question popped in my head
that I have Isaiah Green with me here when I
watched miked Up NFL. Are they really doing all that
trash talking and being funny because they're miked up? Or
is that really kind of how it is all the time.
It's like that all the time, all the time. It is.
And that's one of the things I love about sports.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You really get to express yourself in a way that
is like.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's the arena, that's what you get to do there.
You're going physical, but you're getting in the mind as well.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Right, It's part of it, and it's where you good welcome,
you know what. I don't know if I was good
at it, but I love to do it. Though I
love to do it. I'm an instigator, man. I'm about
five nine, five ten, you know, one hundred eighty pounds,
one hundred eighty five. When I was playing, man, I
was a little pest. Man, I talk stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I wonder if in literally now they even like, let
hey bat or bad or batter you know that, dude,
they let them. I bet they're like, hey, that's not fair.
Let him concentrate.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Man. I don't know, man, I feel like these kids are.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Worse by not being able to go. Hey, you couldn't
hit water if you fell out of a boat.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm watching some of these kids on like some of
these social platforms. I'm like, h where are these kids parents?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Are they talking like this on the regular?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Like, jeez, No, it's very much the opposite I've seen.
I've seen these kids have no fieldter you mean out
on the like I'm saying, like field, Oh okayeah on.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The football field. I'm not too familiar with it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I never played baseball. Okay, that's one sport I've never
never played.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
If I recall, wasn't Darryl Strawberry kind of famous from
your neck of the wood?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, absolutely down went to UCLA, right, I believe so
I wasn't you.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Know Crimshaw he went to Maybe he probably did. And
the thing about it is, do you remember when sports
Illa Sheety used to have on the record or off
the record on the back of those little black and
white pictures. I don't know if I say no, you're no, no,
I'm talking. This is nineteen seventy eight. Oh yeah, I
was twelve years old. They used to have like high
(11:47):
school and like people to watch out for. And I
said them. When I saw a picture and it said
Darryl Strawberry, it was a picture of him in high school,
I said, well, that's going to be an easy name
to remember. And lo and behold, there he was in
nineteen eighty six, hitting home run stort cocaine. And he's
still the house all day. Yeah, he's turned his light around. No,
(12:08):
he's turned his life around. He's touching people's eyes going
around now and oh really and witnessing for the Lord
love and so yeah, it's good. Well we're gonna bless somebody.

to know how well these guys are.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Going to perform. I think they took a big loss
last week to col Right, So you're talking to a
news talk guy that's trying to fake it like you're
a baseball guy. You like, I still got my Roger
Stallbach though Dallas Cowboy poster. Yeah, I got my Dallas
Cowboy Weekly. So you were a Cowboy fan, Yeah, I was.
I'm more of college football now. I don't know. I
(15:05):
just I become more of a player, like Josh Allen
from the Valley. Now, I kind of like more into
the Bills. I become more of a player you and
I don't know if that's my age or if people
are going in that direct. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
So I've got a chance to play in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Blast.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I tell people all the time, I never had a team.
I've never been a fan of an NFL team. I
was like, you I was a players guy growing up.
Jerry Rice, Charles Woodson, Ray Lewis, Like, those were the
guys that I idolized and looked after junior, sayou like,
those were guys, But I never had a team. And
guess what, fun fact, my first NFL game that I've
(15:41):
ever attended was the very first game that.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I played in. Wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Really that was a real nice against the Washington Redskin.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Okay, but when you were Okay, you were born in
eighty nine and in ninety nine you were ten years old.
That's when boys are really getting into sports. It's who
was that? Were the Raiders that back? I can't even
remember the Rams already.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean, so you had the Rams because I think
Drews Kurt Warners they were in Saint Louis, Oakland?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Was the Raiders were in Oakland? They bounced back and
forth a few times.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, correct, correct, So they were in Oakland. Raiders were
in Oakland by that time. You know, the who wasn't
a whole lot of football? No, but I did. Look again,
you had Jerry Rice. Uh, you had Jerry Rice, Rich
Gannon and Charles Woodson on the same team. Uh in
Oakland with the Raiders, and that was the year that
I started to hate Tom Brady. If you're a Raider
(16:37):
fan or Charles Woodson fed, you know exactly what I'm
talking about. But somebody said, yep, that's no game. You
know what I'm talking about. It was a fumble. It
was a fumble that that propelled Tom Brady's whole career.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Anyway, don't get me started. How many people think his
wife does which rituals before games? Tom Brady? It as
many as you can get one point four billion dollars. Somehow,
I don't know, YouTube got the idea that I was
interested in how lottery winners end up. Uh, last night
I woke up. You know, if you're a falling asleep
(17:14):
to YouTube, wake up and something's on that you didn't choose,
and it just kept rolling and it's kind of startling
or something in the middle of the night. Was something
startled you with YouTube? Something startled you?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Man?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What was it? No? I was suddenly I woke up
the night and then some guy from the UK I
lost all my money, like just screaming loud, I'm like,
what is going on? Before I could shut it off,
I got to see, like what the title was? Lottery winners.
A lot of people's lives go the wrong way when
they win that. That's a lot of money, that kind
of money, that's a lot of What would you do
(17:43):
if you.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Want one point x billion dollars? First thing, thinking too
hard man, spend something.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm showing you exactly what I would do. Just talk anymore.
We're there, that's fair. I'd be quiet. Nobody would know
where I went. I don't think anybody would know that
I won. That's the thing about it, right, you don't.
I wouldn't be one of these on Facebook where eybody
in high school would know that suddenly I'm that guy. Right,
even if they wanted to do the commercial with the
(18:13):
state where they bring out the big check, I would
look like Kanye with one of those faces of Fresno winner.
That's it. There's a mask, and I would shake. Are
you excited? My head would shake. They would By the
shape I'm in, they would assume maybe female. But you know,
I'd have to get a little loose clothing up here
(18:34):
on the chest region here. But listen, my guests here,
Thank you so much. Isaiah Green former Bulldog cap and
went on with the Bills and the Steelers, and we
were talking about when you grew up in LA with
football teams and the communities. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, They're so into
their teams. And the reason is there's really not a
(18:55):
whole lot more that in that kind of cold weather.
LA has so many for a team to catch, you know,
to you know grab LA. You almost gotta go to
the championship like the Lakers and Dodgers, you know, you
really do, because there's so much other stuff to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
No, absolutely, And I grew up a Laker fan. Right,
Kobe Bryant is my goat. I will debate and argue
anybody over that, but I grew up a Laker fan.
One of the things that I really, I really love
about it. You know, they say West Coast is the
best coast. I really believe that. I really believe that.
Now Toronto was amazing. I did get to spend a
few years in Toronto in the CFL. But the weather
(19:31):
that we.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Have here in California.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Is just top level. Man Like, Pittsburgh has the Pirates,
they have the Penguins, they have the Stealers, which have
the best fans across the world, literally, but it the weather.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It's just it's not like. It's not like us. It's
not like la.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Come on, well, Isaia, I always say, unless you've experienced it.
I said to God, get me out of the cold Lord,
and I'll never complain about heat again. And when it's
one hundred than eleven and I'm in a hot car,
I don't complain. I will say, yes, it is hot,
but I'm not gonna complain. And if you don't know
what we're talking about, when you get home tonight, just
go in there, put your head in the freezer for
(20:13):
what seventeen minutes and just see what that would feel.
Oh my gosh, you know what? And it's it's uh.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It is one of those deals where anytime a summer
comes around in Fresno, you will be hot.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You know that's good man.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Look you give you a word. I love that. Yes,
not complaining because I know that cool weather with a
chili on and the football game is coming up. Don't
you like that? What's your favorite month out of the
entire year, if you could have it all twelve months
should be that month? Well, I mean it depends, It depends.
I think I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It depends it depends on where I'm at in the world. Okay,
so I'll say this. You're gonna write it down right.
I know what you I think, I know what you're
gonna say. Okay, goo ahead, I'm gonna I'm gonna switch
it up on you.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
My favorite month. Just if I had one month, that
would be all twelve Monthsruary. Okay, I had October, October.
You got almost all the sports going on at the
same month. That's fair. Why February. You know what.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I love the weather in February. I love the February.
I love the February not too hot, not too cold,
especially here in this part of the region.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Not too hot, not too cold. I love the we
February in California it can be kind of wintery where
you have to say, hold on, let me put my
shoes on to run out to the car because it
could be raining. That's that's all you got. It could be.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But it's it's it's good enough to where the sun
is out and you can wear your nice cold you
can wear you.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Know you can. You can dress it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
That's one thing I do love about being on the
East Coast is you get all four seasons, and you know,
you get to you get to swag it out a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You get to dress in the sweater with the scarf
and hoodie.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You can do so you can you can do hard
bottles with a nice cold. You can wear shoes.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I mean, you can do so much. All right. Last
weekend I noticed you were more sports attire, or you
got somewhere a little fancy here that you had to
after this, I noticed here you got a little more
of a nicer shirt on. Here are you into your fashion?
I think? I think, what does your closet look like?
Are the wooden hangers or are their plastic hangers? That
tells if a man's fashion, what is it? What is
(22:19):
a little bit of both, a little bit of both.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I keep the wire hangers after I get the after
I get them out of the cleaners, you know, but
most of them all.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Well, the fact that you're even said cleaners, that goes
to show right there.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
They man soot, I can't put all my jez into washingers.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I was just talking to Asian squires back at the
station here this morning, but he's on his way to
the cleaners, and I said, how long you've been doing?
He said, oh no, no, not my whole life. But
he says it's nice shirts and polos and that that
kind of thing. You know, you're not taking your boxers
and no you do that? Get that going on at home?
Isaiah Green as our guest here, I want to talk
(22:55):
about a few other things you've done, and we we
kind of touched on a little last weekend, but after
you got out of football, I'm just gonna say, I'm
going to ask which one you want to talk about?
You want to talk about you being the assistant Deputy
director at the California Office of Small Business Advocates, the
board member at Fresnel Housing, the board member of United Way,
(23:15):
the board member of Valley teen Ratch, your work with
at risk youth, or the fact you went back to
get your Master of Divinity And I got to ask
you if you're preparing for ordination? So you like to talk.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
About and we can use this dartboard right over here
at UH two Ravers Brewer Week. We could just put
one of those things up there, and you've.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Got to you got a calling though, I can see
here because you're helping kids at at risk.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, you know, it's a great question. So one of
the things that as I transitioned out of sports. And
we talked a little bit about the transition last week, right,
one of the things that I really just wanted to
dial in on is where do where are my passions?
Where do I want to add value? You know, I
always believe that the greatest among you will serve, and
so where do I want to start serving? You know,
(24:05):
those young men that look like me, that may have
similar experiences or similar challenges, whatever the case may be.
And utilize my platform, utilize my experience, utilize my network
and my resources to be able to give back and support.
And so that was one thing that I leaned into it.
And it's been a journey. It has been a journey
(24:25):
from two thy and seventeen to today. I tell people
all the time, the pace of life is so different
outside of professional sports, completely different.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, then it's focused on you because you are your paycheck.
You got to focus on your legs, your arms, your mind,
all of that. You have to deter people from coming
in and influencing the wrong way. I bet now looking
back at NFL really needs well I think all kids need,
but you are a kid still when you're young and
(24:57):
a rookie and moving in. They don't have that or
do they that welcome to the NFL like did they
do in the World War two veter army things. Watch out,
here's what you're gonna face in Germany, young soldier. Did
they give you any of that stuff? They do?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
They do, And it all really depends on the level
of your It all depends on how you entered the league.
So I entered the league as a undrafted free agent.
And so there's a rookie symposium that all of the
two hundred plus drafted players have to attend prior to
(25:33):
an NFL season. But then again you realize there's another
additional two to three hundred players that come in through
another avenue, which is which are undrafted like myself, and
so I didn't get to attend the rookie symposium. So
what they do is when you get into a team,
they have people come and speak and we have classes
here and there. But it's been it's been a challenge.
(25:55):
It was it was a challenge. It was a challenge.
And twenty two years twenty two years old, you know,
to figure this thing out.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Did you have a family member that shut you down
on the couch and said young man, boy, there's gonna
be a lot of temptation coming you, right, inks stuff
like that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I mean, you have family, you had support, which was great.
You have family and supports was great. But you know,
I was the first one in my family to walk
this path, to travel this path, and so that's unique
in itself, right.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, Isaiah, I love getting all this behind the cements anytime, anytime,
I can talk about this all day. Well, really, I'm
out here till six. I know you said you'd say
till four. You really you want to know I'm kidding.
I appreciate you, and no, I appreciate you coming out.
Isaiah Green. We're at two Ravens Brewery at fifty fifty
four North Academy. Just gps that up North Academy, and
(26:43):
I really feel like I'm somewhere that's I wasn't just
the food. Moments before I started driving down Shaw the
owner of two Ravens, Mark Dyson, Mark, how long has
this place been in biz here? Man? You got a
lot of you got a lot of timber up there, man, Yes,
for sure, I'm looking at the roof.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah. Well, first of all, that was impressive. I'm a
little nervous going after that, that was pretty cool. Thanks
for sharing all that.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey there's room in here to bring a football and
the actually employed a little too on two. Oh I'm down.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I looked at this guy. I'm like, man, I
know he's this guy's I'm like him, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, defensive end? What what what? What would I'd be
a field goal? Uh? Yeah? D N I like d En.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I like Dan still got still slim with real musculary Yeah.
I like yeah, Hey, Mark, where are you from?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I'm from here originally Fresno area. I came out to
this far into clothes, kicking and screaming about eight years ago.
And you know, you and I talked earlier and you said,
you're driving out here. It feels like you're you could
be in Texas, you could be in any any part
of it, but it feels like you're going out of town.
And I didn't like the I didn't want to such
(27:55):
a long drive. I didn't want to come out and
it's my favorite part. I really enjoy that. So it
does feel like you're out of town, which I think
is really cool.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So you builds you a little bunker out back or
are you still driving out the road.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I'm going I'm gonna keep that close to the coffee.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I gotta be. Here's what I said driving out here,
Hollywood could come up here and film like a cartel
nic er roguin. I saw beautiful mansions with swimming pools
and palm trees, and you could see the mountains, and
it felt Central America. Yeah, it really did. Yeah, And
I'm not talking about the people that I saw him,
talking about the architecture and the topography of the landscape
(28:34):
out there as well.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, it's really cool, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I don't know. And then suddenly I'm in the parking lot,
not looking at the mountains. I'm talking to my mom
and dad in Tennessee, and I go, I don't know
if I'm in Temple Kalleen, Texas or North Dakota. Suddenly
I saw like eight pickups here at the at the
four way stop out here. You do know, if you
keep owning this mark, in ten years, you'll probably be
surrounded absolutely with subways and homes. I could not believe
(29:01):
that whole shopping center of the Loma.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
What is Zelma Vista? Yeah, that's that's just still coming
coming together.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And yeah, thinking new, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Well? Ye, yeah, yeah, we you know, and there's there's
a lot of things to look at. It's really cool
to have this little place out here by ourselves, if
you will. But as a business owner, hell, that's that's
important too, right, We're looking at the growth and all
of that, so we're seeing it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
It's kind of the first thing Isaiah said when he
walked in. He said, I saw a pizza. Oh yeah,
down the sidewalk here. Oh yeah, what it is? It's
I'm gonna say, what is it? Four or five businesses
in a row, the gas station in a four waist stop.
That's it. That's all. It is. Hardly any trees either, right,
there's just a pretty just a few out here. Normally
you got a mountain view out the back door here,
(29:44):
but not with the smoke. But like you said, it's
in a few years. The development is everything is moving east. Yeah,
so in a few years. I mean you you don't
know why they didn't start here, right, Why do they
closer to the mountain. I guess it was probably the
railroad track. If that's normally we're.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Probably but you know, that's we try to take advantage.
We do a lot of events out back, so we
have a stage and a setup out back, and it
just overlooks the mountains that we try to take advantage
of that.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You said you can't kicking and screaming. What do you
mean when you said that just wasn't.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
I was a Fresno kid, you know, and I didn't
want to move out into the country, and and I wasn't.
I wasn't familiar with it. And but coming out here
it's just really peaceful thing slow and everything's very slow.
So I I go to River Park and I'm like, man,
the traffic it's terrible, you know. So I just I.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Enjoyed out here.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That's awesome. That's awesome. Hey, uh, you do this real
stout stuff that people have malt and barley in their
teeth when they drink in and then you go to
some of the lighter stuff as well.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Correct, we've got we've got the tar, and we've got
the light stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
We've got guitar, what you call the tar out here.
I hear you have a little like a a group
a congregation of folks at the mug club.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
We've got the bug clubs.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So I was telling me about that, like on you
guys do all different kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yes, yeah. Yeah, so we again we.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Are you a cult leader? Are you leader?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
No? I mean you guys like, yeah, all congregate together,
don't you. Yeah, it's not just the normal you're doing.
The sense of community. It's it is all about tell
tell everybody what they do so they don't think I'm
being Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
So we have our mug club and and and we're
about one hundred deep into that and it's a really
close it's like cheers out here, it really is. And
we the diversity isn't incredible. I mean I had my
own thoughts of what it might look like. It couldn't
have been further from the truth. I mean, every walk
of life, and uh, it's really that really to me
(31:39):
is the most the thing I'm most proud of is
watching the different people. We've got a cowboy and a
punk rocker that became best friends, and it goes on
and on and on.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
You run into mug clubbers at the grocery store, Yeah
I do.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeah, yeah, see the mud clubbers and you know, but
but it just really is cool to you know. That's
the whole idea, right is to build a culture here
in a community that people get together.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
And Isaiah, we might have to join all your requests,
ask for your cell phone and your four digit pan
on your ATM. That's all right, I'll speak Friday.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I don't know about you, but I'll let Isaiah in.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Just to be nice, nice, nice as I don't know
you missed something about tar man as long as I
have to drink the tar I.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Mean, I'm gay. I'm gay. How late are you opening
at night out here?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So on the weekends, r out here till midnight. It
so Friday, Saturday and ten o'clock on weekdays excluding Mondays.
We do a thing on Monday and we just it's seasonal,
but we do what it's called Mondays that matter. So
we pick a whatever that might be a lot of
it is youth sports, right for saying er and clothes schools,
(32:45):
and they'll come out and do you kind of a
charitable event and then we'll give back a portion of that.
So we save that for Mondays. And then we're open
till ten every day and twelve on Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well, it's what keeps our country, our state, our community's going.
Our smoke. Small local businesses. Do you enjoyed? I know
you got to pay your own paycheck out there? What
made you? What made you jump out and do this?
What'd you say three years ago? For?
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, this is actually our third Our birthday was September.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Okay, you stepped out, You stepped out onto the ice.
Had you own your own or work for somebody before?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
In the mid I did own a business prior to that.
And I'm a serial hobbyist. I've always been had my
hands in something or other, from toy fish to tattooing,
to to beer, and beer's the one that stuck. I
just really enjoyed the brewing and love the art of it.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
And you still you still tatt and do all that.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I don't not have time.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
So I was gonna say, it's only on your right arm?
Is there any on your left?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Man?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I have them all over. I don't know. I think
you got me beat though, but I got I have
a few. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just too afraid of needles.
And it wasn't the thing when I was going to
be out that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
They say, once you get your first one, you don't
look back.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
No, we have an attatto artist that comes out here
for the events.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, well it would take some of that tar, about
eight eight glasses of that tar. That'll all right. Put
Nixon right between my back shoulder blades on the back,
Nick in there. Dyson with the beer mug right all right, yeah,
beer mug clube number brand me is the number however
you do that. It's a good sense of community out here.
(34:24):
And this actually is like a painting or something out here.
I mean this intersection right here, it's definitely unique.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, I appreciate you. Thanks for coming out, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We're gonna come back. We're gonna recap what's going on
this weekend. President State now one in one. They got
the running game going, Isaiah. That that was big in
the second half and that explosion, man, when they just
ripped it out, that's what we needed to do. We
need to do it again next week. All right. It's
the Trevor Nation all Over the Place tour. We're live
in two Ravens Brewery, five zero five four North Academy
(34:55):
on the outskirts of Clothes and it's our simulcast on
sports normally. He's got a wedding and anniversary. Isaiah Green
co hosting with me this hour. Isaiah, thank you so
much for being out here. He's a former Bulldog cap
and went onto the NFL with the Bills and the Steelers.
And we have tickets for Blake Shelton and Pittbull. You've
seen either a concert go er.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know what, I just became a concert girl more recently.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, pretty cool. Well, we got them also tickets to
Midland and also tickets for Fresno State as they come
back next weekend to take on Southern University. But this
weekend they're going to be up in Oregon. And with
all the name image and likeness, I had so many
questions for you, Isaiah, but this is one I want
to get in before you take off. What's the incentive
(35:41):
with name image and likeness for local business to invest
in endorsements and these athletes if they just might lead
the next year, because name recognition in a market is key, right.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I think it is. I think it's a twofold. You
have to look at it as a win win situation
from what I know. One, you get to brand your business,
your company, your logo, your legacy, and also merge with
Fresno State organization and history, right, and then also it's
an investment into these younger athletes, and so it's an
opportunity for the athletes to be able to learn what branding,
(36:11):
what marketing, what they want their image to sort of represent.
For me, I think it also propels them for life
after sports. What do you want to sort of relate
yourself to right, And then also with the opportunity to
continue to foster those partnerships and relationships right here in
the city of Fresno and the Fresno State Organization. So
(36:31):
it's a win win for both parties.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I think that time I really became aware of how
big it was was the local story of the Cavaner
Twins basketball first of State going to Miami and wrestling
and wa're.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Right, Yeah, they made a huge deal off of.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
The Times Square. Yeah. Absolutely, a lot of people this
is happening. You've been serving on a whole lot of boards.
We need to get a groag sale board. Are you
this way you're driving around and garage sales. All they
need to do is just have an arrow neon signed arrow.
People write ad dresses down and all boxes. Yeah, with
(37:11):
this like time on it just just it's just the arrow.
You don't get to see it on the way as
you're driving by. I'm going to talk about that more
next hour here the Assistant Trevor Jerry Show, Mondo Valley's
