Starting point is 00:05:01 Yes, sir. So what we go jump into right now is a little bit of stiller information. Yes, sir. Information, okay. Let's pop all. That's a five Steelers hat you got on right there, my brother. Hey, hey, hey, that had they never seen it,
Starting point is 00:05:21 never seen it before. Hey, Joe. Is that right there? That's a one-on-one. That right there, is that right there is. Oh. Kudos to you, Dibo. You coming through with the hat you said you was.
Starting point is 00:05:31 That hat is very impressive. Joe, I told you. Perfectly with the shirt. Yeah, you did that. Oh, Joe, what the, I told you, man, my hat game is impeccable. Respectfully. Respectfully. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Now, this one, if you like this one. Yes. I love that one. I know you. No, no. If you love this one, yes. Listen, I don't even know what's a stronger word for love. You just go be infatuated with him.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I'm going to wear tomorrow. Okay. And this is going to be a one-on-one too, baby. Okay, okay, okay. Oh, we ain't going to be on tomorrow. Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday. I'm looking forward to it, Divo. I'm looking forward to it because you've been stepping with the hats.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You ain't lied about it. You been stepping. It's what I do, man. I'm a step-in. I'm stepping. I'm stepping. You stepping, big step-in. Big stepper.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Respectfully. Respectfully. So, Steelers. Yes, sir. Have themselves a grounded, God-fearing man over there. and Jeremy Bernard. Yes, it's right here, man.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You pulled up with a Bible in your hand. So I keep minds on me too. So how important is it to dive into the word every day? What advice would you give to the young people? Yeah, I mean, like it says, you know, go to him to get your daily breath. So, like, every single day I'm making sure that I'm opened up my word that I'm praying.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I'm giving him the time because, you know, he has blessed me beyond measures. And, you know, he gives me grace and mercies every single day to wake up. And so I just know it's a blessing to wake up And I have to give him, you know, my life. Like he says, like when Christ died, we died with him. So, and we got a new life. And so that's the way I try to live.
Starting point is 00:07:06 And I just continue to try to bring the younger generation along with that. You know, I never try to be, you know, forceful with it. But I always just try to plant those seeds and let God do the rest and pray for people. That's good. Some plants, some water, but God gets to increase. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Listen, man, since this man has got.
Starting point is 00:07:26 into the league, man. He has got to Pittsburgh, man, since he has become a stiller. The only thing that has been said about him has been 100% positive. Talk about his work ethic, how he's a quick learner. Why? Because he has a work ethic. His willingness to take advice from his leader, his leadership, you know what I'm saying? The guys that are his OGs, the guys that are going to give him that information, you know, his professional mindset. that and just, you know, his confidence without arrogance, you know what I'm saying? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And it makes 100% now, 100% sense now because he is a well-grounded young man. And he is grounded in his Lord and saved Jesus Christ. It can't get no better than that, Joe. It don't get no better
Starting point is 00:08:15 than that, Debo. It's a priority thing. It's a faith family football. I will call him the Fs. And then it's just the, you know when you're grounded, you know what, where you're, your but is bread. So you're not going to let people's waver your emotions. You're not going to let Twitter and how people feel about you really impress you because they don't know who you are. So the work's going to work. The work's going to speak out for yourself. You're going to go out there. You're going to grind. You're going to put the work in. You're going to speak to your Lord and say because you know, you know what's going to happen for me is going to happen for me. So I just love that the way that he's going to be able to get through his trial and errors. He may not be like, it's not going to say
Starting point is 00:08:52 he's going to be the best football player of all time. But I'm just loving that. you know that end of the day he's going to work and he's going to be able to have his priorities are in order. Yeah. I mean, but just from his college career, I mean, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be a productive member
Starting point is 00:09:09 of this year's squad, especially in that, you know, in that slot position. I just, that's the way I see it. That's the way I feel about it, just from his previous work. And again, this is one of those things where, hey, he can play the game. And then,
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's the character part of it. Yes. That's a lot of things. That's something that a lot of GMs and owners don't really dive into. It's the character part. You got to have somebody that has character that is built on something that has a grounding, a understanding that it's not me. I didn't do this.
Starting point is 00:09:44 It's not all me because now you don't have that person that's in that locker room. Like, I need this. I need that. This is this. This is that. Like, that's simple. And he is grounded. and he knows that everything starts with his Lord and saving ends with it.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I love it. I love it, brother. You need more players like this in the locker room because a lot of dudes, I mean, just the football, his faith and everything, because you know, like, when we talk about character issues and we talk about not having to worry about him, you know at the end of the day, he's going to be out of the way. He's worried about football.
Starting point is 00:10:16 The main thing is going to be the main thing. So when he's balling out, when it's contract time, there's no reasons not to pay him. You know that this dude is going to be on time. he's going to be in the meetings. He's going to be doing what he got to do. Great teammate, great locker room guy. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:10:30 No question, brother. That, listen, man, the more, the more, the more I hear about him, especially, you know, this right here, this is not something that a lot of guys actually push out there to be able to switch. Yeah. Especially, like I wasn't one of them. You know, I really just, like I said, started really getting into it over the last, you know, two, three years when I accepted Gordon's savior. So, um, I'm not as. vocal as some, but I don't sit and slide it up under. The first thing I do in the morning is I get into my word, good 45 minutes, if not an hour.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Spend time, meditate on it. Yep. You know what I'm saying? I share it with people on my story just from one of my daily devotional that I do. I'm doing the story every morning as soon as that's one of the things I do. And to be honest with you, man, like I started to stop doing it at one point in time. Like, you know what? I can't stop doing someone like you can't stop doing it. And, you know, the thing that everyone is supposed to do is make more disciples. I'm not saying I'm a holy
Starting point is 00:11:33 roller number, but I know I've got plenty of messages from people that are like, James, I read your story and I got the book and now I'm in that process of walking my journey with my Lord and Savior and make a, you know, a change in my life and become a save, you know, man. You know, I love it, man. It's all in the way that you do it, too, D. But like you said, you don't want to feel like you walking around more holier than thou because you don't. I'm worse.
Starting point is 00:12:04 No, no, that's what I'm saying. You want to welcome disciples because it's like that's the thing. Some people get worried about Christianity because if you're a Christian, they feel like, oh, no, you can't do nothing bad. It's like, no, end of the day, we know I'm a sinner that needs a savior. So I'm not here just to push it on everybody, but you are a walking. You know what I'm saying? You know who you are and you believe in it.
Starting point is 00:12:22 So that's when I listen to him. And he said, I'm not going out and just forcing my religion. Yes. But I'm gracefully like, I'm here. You can not follow me. I know. I am. You know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:12:32 But it is what it is. I'm here to reach good. You know what I'm saying? So the way that you deliver it is, it's all good. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. But I want to go over here to Cleveland. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Come on. Listen, bro. You got, you guys. Oh, hey. Hi. Yes. And that's what I wanted to talk. to you about.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Yes, sir. You got the O-H-I-O. That's what I was saying to you when my mic was off. I didn't know my mic was off. Yeah. You got the Ohio hat on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 But you LeBron over everything. You should have a PA hat on right now. Oh, look, that stutter. I love it. You know what they do? That just give me, wow. No, no, no. Cleveland, look, they're not playing right now.
Starting point is 00:13:19 It's still. Ain't you from Florida? When they don't play, they have, it's, I'm rocking with the calves. always. Braun, always. Cleveland is not going to where. They're not playing Philly right now.
Starting point is 00:13:31 So over, and the Bronnos, they're not playing each other. When they play each other, like I said, it is what it is. But right now, I'm always O.H. Hey, Joe, what school did you go to? What? What school did you go to? College. Look, I went to the University of Florida.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I was a gator. My coach, Urban Meyer, Urban Meyer coached the University of Florida. Ohio State. University. The Ohio State University. So my college coach, I got ties in both schools. My strength into conditioning coach, the great Mickey Marotti.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Right. I'm getting to get to condition of Florida. And now who's at Ohio State. So you know what I'm saying? We just got throughout the Lord. You got me cussing already. See, that's what I'm saying. We know.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And you look, but you know. You know right from wrong. That's what you know you're doing wrong. You can repent, Debo. I need somebody. I need a language. Listen. I need somebody to find me.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Oh, the Ohio State University, one player that will come out here wearing a Florida hat. Y'all find me one. Urban Meyer would do it. Urban Meyer would do it. I said a player. Bro. He ain't never played. Man, though.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Find me one, Joe. It's really about, listen. Be a man. But you know, it's getting a lot. Gator nation. The Gator Nation is over Ohio State because my college, they played Gator, Gator Nation.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I rock with Ohio State because it's Ohio. Everything Cleveland. Everything Cleveland. So I look out for Ohio State. But it's the University of Florida. I'm a alma mater. Why I went to the Hall of Fame for is number one. Is that because LeBron do their shoes?
Starting point is 00:15:16 No. They're sponsored by Jordan. Exactly. Florida Gators are Jordan. I'm talking about O.State. Ohio. State, are they, are they, are they, uh, LeBron school? Are they Nike school?
Starting point is 00:15:28 I believe. I don't know because that's not my, that's not my university. I know the Gators are team Jordan and that's my squad. Ohio State. I'm not going to O.H.I. Because it's, it's, who the best player ever to play in the game of basketball, Joe? I rock with anything that, anything at the land rock with. Who the best player to ever play the game of basketball, Joe?
Starting point is 00:15:48 LeBron James. But you rock with Jordan. Jordan. I love Michael George, Michael Jordan is a. Michael Jordan, it was, LeBron just passed Michael Jordan and me finally being able to say this out loud. He finally let me be able to vocalize it.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Because of his longevity, Debo, for me, him doing this this long. Like, I understand. Let me ask you a question, let me get to football. What you say with the Jerry Rice? This is the Jerry Rice effect. I understand that. But Jerry Rice was still a damn good receiver.
Starting point is 00:16:20 If you cut it down, if you cut it down, ain't nobody still catching, Jerry Rice in that time frame. Nobody's going on. You go to running backs. Go to running backs. Look at Barry.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Okay. Emmett got the highest, right? Yes. Barry and Emmett in the same time frames. Barry is off the chart. But Emmett had the longevity because he had to go catch him. He need to go those extra years to catch him. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Okay. So you're telling me. Behind every night spent making the kids lunches, There's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pasto survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

Starting point is 00:21:36 Barry, what are you picking in it? I like Barry Sanders. No question. Me too. I was scared coming in the league. I thought I was about to play against him. I'm like, I can't have me out there tearing up my ACL or something. He would do.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Bruh. Boy, stop on the dime. Like, and do all the, no. I'm like, no. I didn't. I'm like, yo. That? What we're talking about?
Starting point is 00:21:58 He retired. I was like, okay, we good. And we're going to Detroit. That was my first game I played. Like, preseason, Detroit, 2002. I'm like, yeah, let's go. Anyway, Joe. Bro, I just, I'm just, I'm just baffled that.
Starting point is 00:22:14 How I can't like, how, how, if LeBron, I think is a little bit, just passing him from the longevity, why am I crazy? Is that crazy? Because, because you're saying, you're saying the longevity is what made him better. not the actual play itself. You got... From eye test, too, when I see young, when I see young Braun... Jordan went and played baseball and came back and got three more.
Starting point is 00:22:40 The only reason why I was saying this too is the champion. When I look for my eye test and I see young Braun out there with the Cavs, when he came out there from high school, seven, eight years into the league, I thought that was the best player I had ever seen play. Like, more athletic. Like, when Kobe came out of high school, he was behind. Eddie Jones. He didn't start initially.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Like he still, if LeBron would have went to the Lakers, he would have started off rip. He wouldn't have been behind anybody. So just me looking at LeBron with my eyes, I thought he was the best basketball player out of anybody. Then he started winning the championships, went back to Cleveland, did all of that stuff. Then I'm like, okay, he's, for eye test. Look, Jordan won six ships in a row was best, like immortalized. I thought nobody was ever going to touch Jordan.
Starting point is 00:23:24 But then you see LeBron, stay out the way. How many ships did you do you do it? LeBron, it guys, has four ships. But it's like, I understand that. But if you have more ships isn't what I would think makes me, makes you the best player. From my eye test, if you just want to say ships, then who, what's my man that got 11 ships? Bill Russell, he should be. Hey, man, somebody just said Jordan did a dunk test.
Starting point is 00:23:46 The dunk contest. I don't know what. I mean, how mean, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, uh, how many dunk contest? Why not, Joe? I don't, I don't know. I don't know. I'm just saying. Like, Brian, I give him the two.
Starting point is 00:24:02 No question about it. Okay. I mean, and I'm still kind of fighting with Kobe for the two, but I ain't go, I ain't go over there for, I give him the two, two, three, whatever. Whatever it would be. Okay. But over Jordan?
Starting point is 00:24:16 Jordan played defense too, bro. Ron plays defense. Young boy. How many defensive, how many defenses awards did he win versus Jordan? Jordan got like nine or ten of them things, right? Man, they are. How many Brown got? He ain't got one, do we?
Starting point is 00:24:34 Look at LeBron how many times. How many blocks he has, all them chase downs. LeBron, nobody's just... Chase downs, bro. Chastown? Nobody's taking advantage of Brown. Man up. Nobody's taking advantage of Brown.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I'm not... Dude, I'm not... Listen, you think somebody was taking advantage of Jordan? I mean, Pippin was... You can't say, was Pippin better at defense to Jordan? I would say so. All right. Still total player, hell no.
Starting point is 00:25:03 That's the other thing. That's the other thing. They start making me. I'm not trying to talk. I'm not trying to talk. See, that's the other part. It got to make me starting looking like I got to talk bad about Jordan to up brunt.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I have nothing bad to say about Jordan. The Jordan is immortalized. Jordan did nothing wrong. So that's why. No, I'm, I'm listening. I need Jordan to give me that shoe deal that he gave you. See. Yep.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Listen. That was a good. Great, great, great, great, great, great, great. great deal. Thank you, M.J. Bronn ain't gave you. Brian didn't give me no deal. He didn't.
Starting point is 00:25:38 He didn't. He didn't. But that's why you know, this is non, this is non-bias. Yes, it is bias. How? I got the deal from Jordan. If it was biased, I would be like, man, Jordan is way more. I think Jordan is for sure he can't, Bronn can't pass him. It's my opinion.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I think Jordan is number just right. It's one, one-A-1. one B. That's what I can say that. Okay. So what would have made Jordan just straight one? If he would have played longer. If he would have played longer, what else did he have to accomplish? Nothing. Nothing. There's nothing. See, that's all.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Okay. So here. So here. So AD, one of the coldest deliming we don't see. And I don't know how long. Because he didn't play longer and somebody else comes and plays longer and takes up that time to beat his numbers or get to his numbers, now they're greater than him? Exactly. That's what, look, this is my question, though. I think Randy Moss, his career was shorter than Jerry Rice's. But Randy Moss, I feel like, if you want to say long time, best receiver of all
Starting point is 00:26:51 time, I think it's Randy Moss. But Jerry Rice's numbers, because he plays so long and was so consistent, then that's like how you can't say nobody was better than Jerry Rice, because he did it for so long and was so consistent and so great for that long. Like him and Randy Moss's peak greatness of seasons was probably around the same. But then Jerry Rice just did it for so much longer. Because literally when I see it.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Okay. So do you have an idea of what their numbers look like in their peaks? I don't. But then that's when it comes like, you're taking apples or oranges. It's like, your personal person doesn't have to be because his numbers were a little bit better. Like the eye test would say,
Starting point is 00:27:30 if he has this Montana like, now I will say this. In today's thing, I'm taking Moss. Okay. Even though I think Rice
Starting point is 00:27:40 is number one, I'm still taking Moss. That's where I'm saying with the Gordon and LeBron thing. It's like, I understand. The only way he could have passed
Starting point is 00:27:49 it, it was Jerry Rice just played this long. And nobody ever tested Jerry Rice is receiving numbers. I don't think nobody's ever catching
Starting point is 00:27:56 nobody's ever catching LeBron James scoring record. And he's not even And they say he's not even a score. He's not, he's not, okay. But he's the all-time leading score of all times and he's going to be never hard. 23 years, bro, you got to be. You got to be.
Starting point is 00:28:12 See, that's what I'm saying. Right. So if somebody played 23 years. You mean you got to be. You got to be. If you're going to be considered the greatest of all time, you play 23 years, you got to be. You got to have all the records. You got to have every record, especially if it comes over accumulation of, like,
Starting point is 00:28:31 You know, whatever. But like again, I told you, but the eye test tells me when I see Jordan, when I see Brown primed up, I'm Jordan. It's Jordan. Okay. Anyway, we're going to go over here at this USA. Today, writer goes off on the Browns. He said, what are the Cleveland Browns doing?
Starting point is 00:28:52 Seriously, we have no idea. He said both Watson and Haslin paid lip service to the notion that the locally I hate reading that. Locally despise quarterback could be back with the team next year when his current and fully guaranteed and widely derailed contract expires. The notion that he'd return is almost as ridiculous as the notion that he could potentially start over Sanders, a second year player who needs a lengthy look at some point as Barry and Company assists. assess their options ahead of what's expected to be a rich quarterback draft next year when the Browns own two first round picks, thanks to the good trade. He goes on to say, and given Cleveland fans and giving Cleveland fans seem to embrace Sanders to a degree perhaps approximate to that to their animus. Watson, why not just give the young man a long leash and park the very, wow, dude, this dude's tripping, the very lame duck on the bench. Dude, who is this? Dude, man, if Sanders plays well, maybe your quarterback question is answered.
Starting point is 00:30:20 If he doesn't, then you're primarily positioned to get his replacement at the top of the next year's board. Maybe without having to invest further capital. Alias, this is Cleveland. At last, this is Cleveland. Hey, bro. Yes. Who is this cat? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:44 USA. He's tripping, tripping. He went hard. He tripping, trip and tripping. What did Nate? Nate Davis? Man. Hey, he went in on y'all, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:52 He went in. He went in. I think they know. Why are you going in like that, Joe? I said that. I said that yesterday. I'm like, why are you even saying that's a possibility, Joe? What, possibility?
Starting point is 00:31:05 That's what I'm saying. It's a possibility that. Yes, yes, yes. Watson could come back. What? They just want to lie to y'all now, I think. See, and they told y'all what they weren't. We ain't trading miles.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Miles's going to be here. He's going to be here forever. And then, boom, he gets traded. Yes. Like, every storyline you all get this year, it comes out as this, and then it ends up being the opposite. Yes. What's going on, Joe?
Starting point is 00:31:27 This is blatantly, but he's telling us at, the end of the day, Debo, that I and you were saying the same thing. Owners, we see GMs, we see people, they're going to say something, and next thing you know, they're going to do another because they've been working on things behind the scenes, stuff is going on, and they don't have to tell you the truth. They literally don't. So with the USA Today writer right here is saying is when they're saying that they want to sign Deshaunne Watson after the season, that's crazy. and he's saying what I'm saying and what other people are saying.
Starting point is 00:32:01 No matter what, you got to bite the bullet. You've already signed the $230 million. You know you did what you did. But end of the day, when you're saying this, you want Deshaun, we want Deshawn Watson to play well. You have him under contract. Obviously, you don't want him to not be looking good. So for outside, for everybody on the outside,
Starting point is 00:32:20 you're just pushing Deshaun Watson as much as you can. So at the end of the day, you're not going to sign him with the tool contract. I would think not. you already gave him this bread. What we need to do is, what he's basically saying is, we need to play Shador Sanders.
Starting point is 00:32:35 The young quarterback that we had, that is thriving, that everybody loves, that the locker room is winning over, that he's actually playing pretty well. He has weapons around him. Let's give him a chance with this team. Because if you don't find out with Shador,
Starting point is 00:32:47 then you get rid of Deshaun, obviously, because you already paid him that bread. You can move on now, or you have options where you have two first round picks. So stop, like, You're just out here just saying stuff. You know what I'm saying? Just trying to make sure your team looks good
Starting point is 00:33:01 because if you have to move on because owners and GMs behind the scenes, they're not saying this, I don't think. I will hope not. Unless, like, because in today, he already made the money and it is what it is. So you've got to live with that. But as an owner,
Starting point is 00:33:16 you're trying to make sure that your team and everybody looks as good as they possibly can. So the value doesn't go down. You're not going to replenish the value of a player on your team if you can. So last ditch effort is what y'all doing to hopefully think that somebody think or somebody is willing to possibly make a trade for this man before the season starts. I think that's the only reason y'all saying this stuff right now. That can be the only reason because all y'all do is tell stories and feed everybody BS and then go do something else.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Like they go feed this so he could do this and do that. And then if somebody was to say, hey, we want to trade for him, let us get cloud. He had been off like a rocket. Joe, your browns is browns, man. They browning, man. Look, this is all I'm telling you. Everything, you, we got actions that's going to speak louder than words. We're going to have to watch and see what's going on during the preseason.
Starting point is 00:34:15 We're seeing Shador and Deshaun Watson are in a battle. Shador is playing well. So hopefully when the season comes, when these games start coming, we're going to have to announce to start. quarterback. This is, we're in flux. Debo, we're getting everybody's other information, all these insiders writing what they do. You think you'll get your starting quarterback?
Starting point is 00:34:32 That's going to be your start of game one or the preseason? No, no. I say after the joint practices, after we play the Buffalo, Buffalo Bills joint practices coming out of that, we'll have to start a quarterback. Before the preseason game. The second preseason game.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Oh, the second preseason game. Second preseason game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. First preseason game to 15th. Then we go to, joint practices the 20th and then we play
Starting point is 00:34:59 the bills the 22nd, the second preseason game. Joe, I don't see them having their starting quarterback until after the third preseason game, Joe. I don't see him naming one until then, Joe. That's just me.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I feel you. Like, as much as they done went back and forth on this and that and everything else and then you see the quarterback, they track in all this, man. The young boy, the young boy doing better than all of them.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I mean, he got less reps. He's going against, you know, lower competition. But I'm just saying, like, it looked better. You know, he ain't got, I'm just saying he ain't got no interception. No, no, for sure. He's, let the young boys keep grinding. I mean, Dylan and Dylan and Jalen Green, not looking bad either.
Starting point is 00:35:36 So keep letting them throw the ball, see what's going on. Who's going to make that guy. This Watson thing is crazy. Them saying, yeah, that's out of control. Look here, man. That boy, B. John Robinson for the Falcons, he just wrote the bank, a three year. 75 million. now makes him the highest paid running back in NFL history.
Starting point is 00:35:58 He will receive a record 51 million guaranteed. Oh, my goodness. That boy got $37 million signed a monster. Uh-huh. Oh, my goodness, Joe. Yep, yep, yep. That's like 25 a year? 25 a year, brodie.
Starting point is 00:36:19 37 to sign the paper? Reset that. He's getting all that. He re-signed that good market. for sure you get 37s off the rip and it's 75 yep
Starting point is 00:36:31 he's seeing all that all three oh for sure all that for sure right now what they go do
Starting point is 00:36:41 over there in Detroit were Gibbs that's why you want to hit hell is it's you see
Starting point is 00:36:49 what they coat say hmm it says Gibbs Crick cryptic comments on how long lions hold in will continue. He said only time will tell running back. Jamir Grives has now missed five straight practicing and still no deal in sight with the Detroit Lions.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Joe, yep, I guess currently he is the NFL. Woo-hoo, 35th highest paid running back. 31st, sorry, 31st highest-paid. running back. That's like almost dead last if you're talking all starting running backs. Like 4.46. That boy getting 4.46. Sequan had 20.6. He just got. Behind every night spent making the kids lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pasto survive the first bite?

Starting point is 00:41:31 I just really, I get it. I'm trying to set you up for success here. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nick Titoro. You probably know me from NYPD Blue, the longest yard, or Spike Lease Black Klansman. But I'm also from Queens, which means I know pizza.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And on my new podcast, delivering happiness with Nick Titoro, I deliver pizza from Prince Street pizza to a new guest. Are you delivering pizza? Then we sit down for a real conversation. I've shared a slice with everyone from Seth Rollins. What are you doing my belt? To Alex Rodriguez.

Starting point is 00:42:39 Uh-huh. You ain't even got a leg of stand on. What's y'all going to do, baby? What are they going to do, Joe? They need to do something. They're going to have to make them happy, bro. They're going to have to do something. And if it's going to be what he's looking for the guarantee.
Starting point is 00:42:51 But like I said, the nothing but the salary cap is not going nowhere but up. And when these dudes are bawling, Bejohn Robinson, deservingly so. Even when your team isn't doing exactly what it has to do as far as wins and losses, you are doing what you got to do, stand out the way, not making no noise. Same thing with Gibbs. He's putting up the numbers. And then Montgomery, you got rid of him. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:43:12 So now you're knowing that you've got to make sure that you take care of Gibbs. So he's sitting in a position where he knows that he's outplayed his contract. So everybody knows that. Gibbs deserves a sign of money. When you're seeing Bejohn Robinson signed for 25 months, million dollars a year. It's like, okay, you know what time it is for Gibbs. For sure.
Starting point is 00:43:30 They asked, I guess they asked Dan Campbell his reaction to Robinson's contract. And he said, for Gibbs's deal, he said it's certainly not going to hurt, but we'll see. Yeah. That's, man. He wants him out. You know the coach, he don't got too much to say, if he could give, if it was his money, he give us the Gibbs. Uh, what, who, they, they ain't got no real big paid players over there.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Oh, no, no, they got, they got, they got Ammaras. Brown, yes. They got Jalen, uh, my man Williams, J-dub. They got golf. Golf, yeah. You know, those three, three nice bags, but they got, they got, they got room. Man, it's better with us looking at them. Listen, my Ryan is the president of, uh, the, the, the stuff over there,
Starting point is 00:44:25 in Atlanta, man. He's getting them boys paid over there, man. That's what I said. I got to get paid. You got to get money, man. Look here, man. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and cut this down a little bit, baby.
Starting point is 00:44:36 We'll go jump on in over here. We go jump on in over here, man. Cut this down, man. Because right now we have our guests. They have finally arrived. Yes, sir, yes, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hoddy and Unk. We have two of the driving forces.
Starting point is 00:44:55 behind Diamond Gym and the extreme, I'll say extreme workouts that have led to a lot of viral content that you guys have been seeing over the past three years or so often considered the most dangerous gym in America. They have athletes, celebrities, influences, entertainers, regular people, you know, they just come to Diamond Gym and to try and prove themselves to do. what they do and see what they could do. But we're getting a little deeper into that as we go through the interview. But what these two men right here, they shape, they shape men.
Starting point is 00:45:42 And it's too five, you know. I think when I first met him, here's a crazy thing, Joe. Look here. So my sons was like, before this even got started. before this ever even happened. Shout out to NFL, NFL Network, Ian, Rob, and, and, Al, digital. In the NFL, it digital. They ended up putting all this together, but at the league office,
Starting point is 00:46:13 but my kids sent me a thing and they're like, Dad, how do you know, want you to go to Diamond Gym? They said, they said he was one of the people they want you to get there. And I ain't going to be lie. At the time, I didn't even know who it was. So I'm like, what are you talking about? They're like, here, look. They're showing me it, right?
Starting point is 00:46:31 And I'm, bro, look at me in my eyes, Joe. I looked at that shit and I said, hey, that ain't built like that no more. I don't even got that desire. I said, son, I didn't even, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, the boys over there doing 50,000 reps, bro. I said, you're trying to get a guy to kill? What's you're trying to do, right? So, long story short, it comes to gas.
Starting point is 00:46:53 and they're trying to get to me. The NFL's trying to get to. I'm trying to get to them. And we ended up getting together. And I'm like, you know what? To hell with it. I'm going to do it. So they ended up wanting to put us at some little gym somewhere or whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I'm like, no, let me talk to Distillers. So I made a call. So we got down there. We got to the Steelers facility, Joe. Now, listen, this is the day before the draft, right? Joe, I did my little warm up. You know, I do my 45 minutes. do all my stretching and stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:25 They come in, I'm soaking wet, whatever. We start, we start doing the thing. Hey, this nigger uncle tell me, hey, first set, 200, huh? 200. 200? Yeah. I say, what? I made like it wasn't nothing, though.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Yeah, early. What is that all about, junk, man? Bring these boys on here, man. Welcome to the show, Unk and Hoddy. Let's go. What's good? What up? What up, fan?
Starting point is 00:47:54 I see you back there, boy sitting off in the corner. No, we here, we here. James, I really like the introduction. I was very fond of that introduction. Yeah, appreciate it, appreciate, appreciate, appreciate. Yeah, I try and do what I can when I can. Hey, James, he's scared to ask you about your acupuncture picture. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:48:13 What about it? You're asking. Oh, hell. Oh, yeah. I want to ready for you to be sexy, James. Whoa, whoa. Oh, you're talking about that's body work. You gotta be able to look through that.
Starting point is 00:48:30 What are you talking about, man? I'm in the National Geographic, health care, maintenance, body care, Middle Eastern, Matt. Well, that's actually a picture that's way worse than that. I ain't going to lie to you. It's the whole, in the National Geographic, it's the whole spread.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Like, I ain't going to lie. They made that thing to where they ain't covering nothing. It's a full back shot. They ain't covered nothing but the track, bro. I ain't going to lie to you about that. Like, that one, yeah. I ain't even know. they was up over top of the camera.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It was like this. Oh, no. I'm not hip. I'm not hip. Yeah, bro. Yeah, yeah. It was wild. I ain't go lie.
Starting point is 00:49:07 But I'm just showing the people of body work, the processes that you go through to get where you need to be. You know what I'm saying? They improve. But, um... Karen is Karen. But to answer your question about the 200 reps, um,
Starting point is 00:49:19 we like to do things that not only exhaust the body, but exhaust the mind. So we try to make everything a challenge. on top of that. It's like we don't want to jump in the heavy weight because people will get hurt. So our way of preventative care, as they would say is, if we're going to do chest that day, we probably do 2,000 reps of just tricep extension. And then we go into our chest press. We might do 500 warm-up sets, they'll go heavy. So that way we can just prevent injury, get the muscles flaring up, hit them fast switch muscle fibers. And then it's also a challenge. Because if I do 200,
Starting point is 00:49:51 how do you got to do 200? The next kid got to do 200. And then after that's a lot to, every set we do 35 push-ups just to keep in so it's like for us it's the harder the workout is the more satisfied we become because it's letting us know that the body is
Starting point is 00:50:08 limitless sort of speak and that your mind and your body are kind of insane so when the kids come in and they see it on social media they think it's a game so they're fucked up to they messed up no you're good you're good no like then they're throwing up and then oh and oh we're going to do the workout
Starting point is 00:50:25 with you. Yes, yeah. And that's another thing. They say, well, Unk, you don't do this because we have certain rules. If I don't break the rules, I don't pay the toll. But if you break the rules, you close your eyes on the set, you're going to do push-ups. You drink water during the set. You're going to do push-ups.
Starting point is 00:50:40 You don't pay attention with the exercises. What we're doing, you're going to do push-ups. And now was to the point that Heidi didn't understand that at first. And now he's the ultimate rule enforcement. Not because I had to pay the price, James. I had to pay the price, bro. I got, I was getting beat off, like actually beat up for three years. Over the little, I closed my eyes, 50 pushups.
Starting point is 00:51:01 I get my shorts was an inch too short of 100 burpees. It was punishment. So now, I pay the same price I did. That's all. Yeah. I mean, I think, I think when you look at it, it's a, it's a physiological and a psychological, you know, aspect to, you know, this kind of training or environment. Because, you know, you're going to meet people that are like you. And not only that, they're going to be people that are going through the same sort of difficulties that you're going through.
Starting point is 00:51:29 And now you sit down there with them and you work out with them and you go through the same training. And at some point, the pain comes, dude. All right. And that's something I'm going to tell you right now, Joe. At some point, the pain comes. And everybody's going to feel that pain. It's just going to be at a different level. Since they've been doing it long enough, they threshold for the pain.
Starting point is 00:51:48 It's going to be higher than what mine was. Okay. And when it comes down to it, man, and you're going through that. that, like, it gives you that knowledge that, all right, I already had it that I could go through hard things. I know I can make it through, you know, and I knew that it wasn't something that would kill me. But I hadn't went through what they did, do. The massive number of reps do it.
Starting point is 00:52:13 At some point in time, your body is like, I'm done. Yeah. And my body told me it was like I'm done. And that's when I had to go into the, you know, what? past failure. It was like, I can't be done. I'm fucking five minutes into this workout,
Starting point is 00:52:28 right? I can't be done. No, for real. Like, it's impossible. And I'm like, they're still doing it. So it was like, as much as I didn't want to
Starting point is 00:52:39 dig back into that bag, you know what I'm saying? It's the only way. Dude, it was the only way. And the biggest thing is, like, the exercise that a lot of people don't understand,
Starting point is 00:52:50 like, it changes, it changes your, brain. Like, it's plenty of studies out there that show that it increases, you know, just everything, from mood to learning. And when you put your brain through things like that, you put your body through things like that. And your brain learns that this stress doesn't mean danger. It learns that it's something I can overcome. And that's something that, not just for workouts, that stress that you be able to overcome, but in life, in situations where you're stressed as a man, where you're stressed as an individual.
Starting point is 00:53:22 You learned that, you know what? This stress is not going to break me. I can work on this. I can overcome this. I can make it through this. So, you know, I think that's something that you guys have really gotten to now just over the stretch of you doing what you have been done. When did you guys start basically having this whole thing with Diamond Gym platform where you were, you know, building all this up? 2021.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Okay. It's been almost five years now, yeah. A little in the middle of 2021, I think. Yes. Okay. Okay. I'm going to film him. But the funny thing is I've been in Diamond since 96.
Starting point is 00:54:00 So I think that's a 30 ball. And then I met Hardy. But Hardy was training. Hardy's always been to athletes, always been in shape. So I would always leave Diamond to go to different gyms and just meet people in like, yo, if you really want to come train, meet me at Diamond because it's different from these commercial gyms. And here you exercise at Diamond.
Starting point is 00:54:19 and you train, not just mentally and physically. Like, so what happened was, I admit, I used to bully hotty around, call him pretty boy and everything. Hey, man, I got a picture of that boy. I was a boy. I was a boy boy. I was going to go by him, hit him with a body shot for no reason.
Starting point is 00:54:36 And then he'll be like this. And I'm like, yo, like, do the workout. And then one day he was like, a third party friend of ours reached out, like, we're doing YouTube videos. We want to come to Diamond. And me being me, I'm like, I don't like cameras.
Starting point is 00:54:50 I don't want to be a part of no cameras. I don't want to do none of that. I didn't know anything about social media, the gravity of social media, TikTok, none of that. I had an Instagram page, but I was already working out on. Like, I didn't know about YouTube and filming.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Like, yo, we come in a film. You're all-head. Yeah, I'm an all-head. I'm still, man, I was before Instagram, Twitter, any of that. Yeah. Came that day. I didn't work out with them that first day. I just walked them through the gym.
Starting point is 00:55:18 we did a crazy workout and the buzz went crazy because it was two different, I'll just say it's two different eras like meeting. At the younger generation, I'm a little bit older, so my style is different from this new generation. And when we mesh, it went crazy because we brought two different age demographics together. So then I'm like, okay, I'm going to jump in the next workout because I don't want to be like I'm telling you all to do something I'm not going to do. But when I jump in, now we all going to die.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Right. Right. It just kept getting bigger, stronger, and faster. And then the more we did it, it was like it was meant to happen because more kids wanted to join. And now it was like we went from three of us filming. So now we got a whole family of kids. We got two kids playing football next year.
Starting point is 00:56:11 They actually go to football camp August 11th. Okay. A lot of kids in college. We help them go to their proms. We help them go to their graduation. We throw the family off of pain, basically pain. Everybody has their own little emotional structure, whether it's dad not being home,
Starting point is 00:56:32 them having low self-esteem, and everybody has their own thing. But when they come to diamond, they get to let it out the right way and not the wrong way. Yes. You can discipline yourself in the gym. You can discipline yourself in the real. real world. So what happens is a lot of these kids don't know, it's okay to be angry. It's okay to
Starting point is 00:56:53 have emotion. It's not okay to lose those emotions. Happens is these kids can't tame their emotions outside of the gym. So they end up doing drugs, go to jail, beating up people, hitting women, all types of stuff. So we give them structure in the gym. Hey, bro, there's nothing to talk about. Put your phone down or you work. So we let that dictate how they take care of themselves outside and it creates a sort of discipline structure outside. And what Hadi, the great thing about Hadi is people look at Hadi like, oh, he's a walk in the park and he is a behind closed doors. He's a monster.
Starting point is 00:57:30 He's a workaholic, whether it's doing the YouTube videos editing. He's a self-made businessman. But in that gym, to see him going to gym, to be honest with you, and I hate to say it, when I look at certain influencers. And this is just me being me. I see the still shots. I see the black and white photos. I see those all these.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I don't see the work. I don't see you in the gym sweating. I don't see you in the gym crying. I don't see you in the gym about the pass out because you give. I just see your pictures on Instagram. I see the filters. I see the magazine photo shoes. So from him going to that world,
Starting point is 00:58:08 so really being a dog in a gym, it changed the landscape. Because now you got to back up what you put on social media. We don't care about the pictures you post Come walk that motherfucker walk with him Yes All the social media influences his age They come and try to get a test of that shit And they get dropped off
Starting point is 00:58:26 And it's not as being arrogant Or us not being humble It's his reality This is how we train every day now And then he has models for a certain company So a lot of those kids Started training with us and they're like, yo This ain't no facade
Starting point is 00:58:40 This is really him Yes Busy. Like it's just like you Debo, it's just like you and Joe. You guys performed on the field, but I was always taught champions are made when no one is watching. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Joe, Joe, tell him, Joe. You are on the field. It's the shit that he's doing the gym and behind closed doors that makes him a success story. He works hard. It's not giving to him. Oh, he's Arabic. He must come from rich parents. No, he works his ass on, and he believes in his.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I know he got some money. I'm not going to be here. I'm not my role with that. The niceness is over. I know he got some money now. His family got some money over there. On Raiders of the Lost podcast, we explore cinema like no one else,
