You'll have to confirm this.
Adrian had played no Texas home,
and they came to my charity poker tournament that I MC'd.
They didn't even sit down.
And then I find out like two years later,
Adrian is playing at Canterbury.
I thought maybe I get a little bit of credit
for you playing poker.
You do, you do.
You know what?
They may really get into it and, you know,
make it a hobby of mine.
They told me he was playing three, four days a week. Yeah, I four days yeah I was playing a lot yeah so when he's out there putting it on
blaster in Minnesota all right guys you got AP here he just made a deep run in
the tournament fifth place yeah man I feel like I did pretty good all day. Caught some bad hands towards the end.
But overall, I feel like I kind of played solid.
Unfortunately, it just didn't go my way.
My last hand, I ended up having king, seven of spades,
and I was in half of my chips,
and I'm just like like you know what this might be an opportunity for
me to kind of triple up and it just didn't go my way you know they threw over their pair they
threw over their hands and they both had pairs and nines and tens I'm just like ah but even with that
I had opportunity you know I had I could hit Iades, could hit a king, you know, running sevens.
So I said opportunities,
unfortunately it didn't work out this time.
Who knocked you out?
Was it Bryce?
I don't think it was Bryce.
I can't remember his name, honestly.
And the young lady that's all flexible.
Oh, Sophie.
Sophie.
She was one of the,
she had the bigger stack out of the she was she had
the bigger stack out of the three. And she ended up having
the pocket 10s and knocking me out. Oh, damn. Yeah. Well,
shout out to her. You play a lot of poker, though? Yeah, I play
a lot of poker. I play a lot of poker. I play Omaha a lot down
in Houston, Texas, Pokestars, Jokers Stars. That's where I
spend a lot of my time playing. I normally play Omaha, you
know, like the full court game.
I like to switch it up with what I started with.
I learned in high school how to play Omaha.
And, you know, once I, you know, went to the pros
and then decided to get my residence in Houston,
started going to the poker halls there
and learned about PLO.
And I've been locked into that since.
But every now and then, I get around and kind of slow it down to play Omaha.
Yeah.
I mean, to play Hold'em.
OK.
So you were playing while you were playing, and then I fell, too?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, not as much.
It was a place in Minnesota called Canterbury that was not too far from Eden Perry.
They actually go there and play a lot. I spent a lot of hours there
playing hold them and
Matter of fact, that's really all I played when I was there, you know
until I like kind of like
Move down to Houston got my place in Houston and learned about
PLO and start playing that so yeah yeah, I've played a lot.
I've played a lot.
Is it the money part that attracts you to it?
Or what about poker, you think, draws you to it?
I think it's both.
It's the competition part, because you never
know the type of individual you're going against.
You might go against someone that's aggressive,
that's kind of, you know, it might be, you know,
they play slow, that, you know, they're passive.
It's so many different personalities.
Somebody that's sporadic that you never know what they're going to do.
I think that's kind of how I play in a more controlled sense.
But it's just that competitiveness, you know, like, you know, you got a good hand, just suspense of, you know,
what's going to happen on the turn, what's going to happen on the river, man.
It's just, it gives you that thrill and that excitement to just kind of challenge
people, challenge yourself.
Um, because it's, it's, it's a game that you have to be smart and you have to,
you know, have decent hands
and you gotta play with some type of strategy.
So for me, even more so when it comes to hold them,
P.L.O., that's a total different ball game.
Yeah, it's a whole nother game.
Oh, a different game.
What else you playing outside of poker,
any sports these days?
Yeah, you know what, You're reading my mind.
It's funny because I'm actually in the process of finishing
this paint job. So I end up getting all the measurements and everything
for my pickleball court that I painted on my basketball court outside. At the crib, let's go.
At the crib, at the crib.
So, you got all the dimensions, you know, and I got it all laid out and painted up.
You know, my kitchen is like, my kitchen area is red, and I've got the black, you know,
kind of spray.

call the outside of that, but that's all that's black and I
paint everything else black and then I have to finish the
perimeter of it, which is going to be it's going to be white.
So it's gonna look pretty dope once I'm done with it, but it's
looking pretty good.
So I'm picking up the pickleball just to get my body active. My boys like it as well.
So I enjoy it. Pickleball is taking over, man. I go to Lifetime out here and they've replaced the
basketball courts with pickleball. Okay. There's more people playing that than hoops. Are you live
right now? Yes, I am. All right, here we go. There he is. Is this a podcast or are we live? Yeah,
we're not live. Okay. All right. You want to pop it in then? Yeah. You want to join us? How you
doing, man? I'm good, man. We got a few minutes. I know I know I'm telling you
This may be true. He'll have to confirm this Adrian had played no Texas. Hold on really now
He comes him and Larry Fitzgerald come to this charity event and what was that? The Minnesota one the Starkey Foundation
Yep, so give a nice they come and neither one of them played poker and they came to a charity poker tournament that I emceed.
Okay.
And they didn't even sit down.
And then I find out like two years later
that Adrian is playing at Canterbury in Minnesota all the time.
He just mentioned that.
And they love him.
They love him.
They're like Adrian's the best.
We love him.
And so I mean, so I thought,
I thought maybe I get a little bit of credit for you playing poker. You do. You do. That definitely
turned me on to it. It's more, I was just like, you know what? They may really get into it and,
you know, make it a hobby of mine, you know? So I love it. I spent a lot of time and it was,
it was close to like 15, 20 minutes away from my house. So they told me he was playing three, four days a week.
Yeah, I was playing a lot.
So when he's out there.
Putting him on blast right now.
In Minnesota.
Well, yeah, I mean, come on, what's wrong with playing poker?
Facts, I mean.
But yeah, no, I mean, like, he didn't do anything wrong.
He's playing poker.
It was great.
And then I think that then you play with the same people, you get a whole social thing
going on. Have you guys played against each other yet?
We have not but I know this like when I watched him out there
I'm like, alright, he sees moving like you you could know what a guy's a poker player ready moves the chips
He told a nice joke
He was talking about slow rolling
You like the people at home don't even know what happened, right? Yeah, it's a of amateurs watching. And I'm like, no, he, so I'm like,
here's a poker player right here.
There we go.
Coming from Phil Hulmus.
Adrian, you know, you should come to,
you should come to the Warriors Charity Tournament.
I'm down, man, I'm down.
I gotta get your number before I head out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll make sure,
I'll make sure that Blake Wynn gets us hooked up.
But the Warriors have had so much fun.
Ninja was scheduled to come with me last time. Yeah. And then our coach
died. Our assistant coach died. And Ninja and I had a whole weekend planned. He was gonna come out
we were gonna sit on the floor. The Warriors came. He was gonna be my guest.
Then the charity poker tournament and the owners wanted to have it and they
wanted to give 500,000 the money to the family of the coach. Wow. But the players who could blame them? They were just like we can't
do this. Yeah. It was supposed to be four or five days later and then and then I think I
had somebody else come instead of Ninja. He couldn't make it but he was scheduled
to come out with me. Maybe we do something like that. I'll get Adrian to
come out, sit on the floor of the Warriors game with me, meet the players. I play poker with Draymond Green all the time. Great guy.
I'm all in for that.
And then playing our private game maybe too.
Oh, I'm down for that too.
That's fun. 100, 200, no limit.
Whoa.
What's the buy in?
5,000.
5,000? I can't make it happen.
Yeah, but I mean, you know, we coach up a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Damn.
Throw on some shade.
I had Mr. Beast,
no, I had Mr. Beast come and play.
Hear from him, coach you up,
you gotta be like, okay, let me know.
He's one of the goats.
Exactly.
I had Mr. Beast come and play with us,
and like Jimmy just, you know, Jimmy's.
He goes all in every other hand.
Yeah, I mean, Jimmy's also very, you know.
I mean, his company's raising it, what, six billion?
When you got money like that, yeah. It's Mr also very, you know, I mean his company's raising it, what, six billion or something?
When you got money like that, yeah.
It's Mr. Beast, you know?
I love Jimmy, he's just a great human being.
Absolutely.
All right, I'm jumping your interview here.
Thanks for popping in.
All right, I'm outta here.
All right, bring it in, my man.
Appreciate it, bro.
You know how I hugged Ray Mondreen like eight times a night?
Nobody ever says anything to us and I always say this.
You know why?
Because we're alpha males.
Wow.
Mic drop.
Yeah.
You replaced the basketball hoop.
So are you still hooping?
Every now and then I hoop every now and then.
Yeah, so I used to play.
Yeah, I was down on the court yesterday teaching my boys some
post moves.
Yeah.
And you know in his last three games, he was so scared to play basketball because he
never played. He's a football player, baseball and track. And I told him, just go out there
and try it, man. You never know what you can do unless you...
After decades of shaky hands caused by debilitating tremors, Sunnybrook was the only hospital in Canada who could provide Andy with something special.
Three neurosurgeons, two scientists, one movement disorders coordinator, 58 answered questions, two focused ultrasound procedures, one specially developed helmet, thousands of high intensity focused ultrasound waves, zero incisions.
And that very same day, two steady hands. From
innovation to action, Sunnybrook is special. Learn more at Sunnybrook.ca
You try it. So he actually tried it this year and the previous three
games he didn't score any points but he hustled, played really good defense,
rebounds, 8-10 rebounds a game. I said listen that right there alone if I was telling before they decided 18 BTM I said that alone is gonna
get you on that on 18 you know because you you're a defensive guru yeah I said
but in the meantime we'll work on your game you know so he's got taller kids
so they got him playing like in a post so actually last night last night, last night, I'm out there messing with the court and for about
20, 25 minutes, you know, I taught him some post moves.
I was like, hey, listen, what you do, if you're on the box, you know, have the hand up and,
you know, like you're asking for the ball, then you can go to the left or you can go
to the right.
If you go to the left, bam, you can lay it off the back, you know, off the glass, right
here on the line or just, you know,, you go to the left, bam, you can lay it off the back, off the glass, right here on the line, or just, you know,
but you just gotta feel it.
Or if you want, he's a right-handed kid,
you can go in, but just know that guy's gonna have
like a little advantage because he can,
his hand is right there.
I said, but on the right side, the left side of the goal,
when you post up, you'll have more room
to kind of get that shot off, you know,
because the guy's playing with his left hand.
Yeah, I can't wait to have kids get that shot off, you know, because the guy's playing with his left hand. Yeah.
I can't wait to have kids and teach them sports, man.
Yeah, but he scored 10 points tonight.
Oh, let's go.
Yeah.
10 points.
Quick learner.
Really quick, really quick.
So I'm impressed with what he did and the effort he put in.
Yeah.
Who wins one-on-one basketball, me or you?
Me?
Me or you?
Yeah.
Oh, me hands down.
Nah, I would win. Without a doubt, you would.. Me, me or you? Yeah. Oh, me handstand. Nah, I would win.
Without a doubt, you would.
No, I would win easily.
Yeah.
Without a doubt.
We're playing.
We need to.
You wouldn't.
I mean, you would get gassed.
So I'm going to tell you this.
So you think I'm going to get gassed.
They call me all day for a reason, first off.
My defense, three years in a row, defensive MVP.
In basketball?
In basketball.
That was in high school, though. That was in high school though.
Yeah, in high school.
But I've played recreation and all that, in college and all that.
Don't get it twisted now.
The defense is still there.
When you're athletic and you're agile, you can make it happen.
And then I got a nice little shot and I'm physical.
So even if I have to, if I got to take advantage of you,
and I'm just like, I can just bring them down
and push them up.
You wouldn't be able to back me down.
I'm 6'6", 200.
You wouldn't be able to back me down.
Even if you did, I would just block it.
I'm just saying, I back down guys,
you know, a lot bigger than you before.
And you know.
I'm just saying, father time.
And dunk them guys.
You're not dunking on me.
You don't think so? You're not dunking on me. You know what, so You're not dunking on me. You know, I like I like I like the mentality. I love it. Well, we'll play we'll play the we definitely
Gotta play cuz I promise you will not be me. I will beat you. Okay. Yeah
You don't know me. Yeah, I don't know you but I know me
So I'm telling you yeah, I would not lose to you. All right, then there's no disrespect like are you trying?
I know you're a whatever whatever but I'ma lock you up.
You're gonna be frustrated, you know?
I'm that guy that you be like, damn, you know what I mean?
I don't know, man, I'm shooting 70% in the league right now.
Yeah, 70%?
Yeah.
Who's holding you, though?
Decent players, yeah.
Yeah, not me, though.
All right, we'll see, we'll see.
We're gonna test it out.
Next time you're in Vegas, man.
What else are you doing this trip?
You leaving after this? Yeah, yeah yeah I'm heading back to the house. My son, my
youngest son Axel, he has a championship game coming up so he got practice
tomorrow. Make sure he's you know doing what he has to do and then I'm going to
you know Texas football is just it's. So high school, my boys are zoned to have a sophomore who's playing as well.
They have a playoff game against North Shore.
I think North Shore is ranked like number two in the state of Texas.
Holy crap.
They're like 11 and 0 in Ridge Point High School.
They're 10 and 1.
So they have a big game on Friday.
So getting back for practice tomorrow and then a big game on Friday. So getting back for practice tomorrow
and then the big game on Friday
and then get a little break on Saturday
and then the championship game for my son
in his little league on Sunday.
Man, your kids are active.
Oh yeah.
That's cool that you go to all the games and stuff too.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's important too.
That's the best part.
Yeah, you know, it's really important.
And that's the best part about, you know, I miss the game of football every single day, you know, it's really important. And that's the best part about, you know,
I missed the game of football every single day, you know, but, you know, I think about
it from this perspective. If I was still in the league, I wouldn't be seeing that game
on Sunday. I wouldn't be able to be there with my boys on Friday, you know, going to
the game and teaching them things that I know. Going to his game on Wednesday, like I wasn't able to make it today
because the poker tournament,
but like the practices and things of that such.
So just being able to spend more time with him
and be hands-on is really critical.
And that's something that I've realized
and that kind of smooth things over
from being out of the league.
So you felt like you could have kept playing though?
Yeah.
Yeah, because you were still putting up good numbers
in your later years.
Yeah, yeah, I feel like I could have still played.
Unfortunately, the last portion of my career was,
you know, not unfortunate that it was in Seattle,
but in Seattle I had an injury that I sustained,
which I had to sciatica.
So I ended up having a pinched nerve
and it took me like 15, 16 months
to fully heal from that.
I tried everything I could try to bounce back from it
and they recommended surgery
and I just didn't wanna go under the knife again.
So I said, you know what?
Yeah, you've had plenty of those.
Yeah, so I'll say, you know what,
let me just let it heal naturally
and go through that process.
But it was probably the most difficult thing
I had to deal with because for over a year and a half,
I couldn't jog.
Holy crap.
Literally, couldn't jog.
Where was the pinch nerve in your leg?
Yeah, yeah.
So it was my left leg.
And if I move two or three,
if I was standing straight up and I took a step two to three feet in front of me, my leg was shut down.
Whoa.
Yeah.
So, like, jogging or any type of sprinting or anything.
It was probably the scariest thing I've dealt with because I never experienced that.
You know, not being able to run or jump or, you know, just doing the things I was used to doing.
or just doing the things I was used to doing. But God's willing, I was able to be around some good people
as far as rehab and doing all the right things, yoga
and different things that allowed me to bounce back.
It took a while, but now I'm back running full speed,
doing the things that I wasn't originally able know, originally able to do, so.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, 16th month, it crazy.
And you recovered from some of the worst injuries
before that, ACL, right?
Yeah, ACL 2012, yeah.
They say that's the worst one, right?
Yeah, I would say ACL and Achilles,
I think those are probably the worst injuries
to try to bounce back from.
Yeah, I remember when you recovered from the ACL one,
people didn't know if you'd ever be the same.
Like that was being floated around.
Yeah, it was being floated around,
but you know, the type of mentality that I have
and just my belief system,
I mean, I never doubted that I would come back
and be better than I was before, you know?
So for me mentally, I believe that,
and I've always been a firm believer in you know you can do all things
to Christ who strengthens you you know and I know he has a final say so you know like I know that
yeah you know like really know that so for me going through that process it was easy I just knew
that I had to have the right game plan the right people people around me, and then put in the work,
because faith without works is void, right?
So I never forget when that injury happened,
going through the sideline,
my dad was actually at the game in Washington
and in a locker room, and he came to the locker room,
and I already knew where it was,
because they diagnosed it on the sideline,
but just getting in there and then going over it again. Yes, ACL and it feels like the meniscus could be torn as well
And I remember telling him
You know what it was Christmas Eve to them I remember telling hey, I'm gonna come back I'm gonna be better than I was before
Wow, and
That wasn't me just talking that wasn't me understanding that you know what? This is where I'm gonna come back, I'm gonna be better than I was before. And that wasn't me just talking,
that wasn't me understanding that you know what,
this is where I'm at, this is the situation,
what you gonna do about it going forward,
you know what I'm saying?
So it's about putting in the action,
putting in your, getting your game plan together,
make it known, write it down, make it known,
and then put the work in.
And I put the work in, man. It was hard, it it known, write it down, make it known, and then put the work in. And I put the work in, man.
Like, it was hard, it was tough, a lot of things I had to do, a lot of times I had to
get up and work when I didn't want to, when I wanted to lay down because I was hurting,
the painful, you know, process of getting my full extension back, trying to get my 90
degree back, all that, man.
Like when I was able to look back towards the end
of that season and be like, man, you know what?
You know, it is what it is.
God is the real deal.
It's the real deal, you know?
That belief is powerful.
And I think your mentality really helps
because a lot of people with that injury
would destroy them mentally
and they just never fully recover.
Yep, yep.
A lot of it's, 90% of it's mentally. You got to be, you have to believe and understand
that, Hey, you can do it. You just gotta believe that you can do it. Absolutely. You've been
following the NFL this season? Uh, yeah, I've been following a little bit. Who you got winning the
NFC and who do you have winning the AFC? Man, that's a really good one. The Vikings obviously have been looking really really good in the NFC
So I'm a rock with them you biased off I
Won't say necessarily. I'm biased. They've been playing some really really good ball, you know defensively they run the ball well
You know
The quarterback is playing really really well
You know, the quarterback is playing really, really well. So I think they really have a chance in it.
MSU-Wilson, NFC, that's really kind of stands out.
Okay, Detroit, I got to give Detroit.
Yeah, they're good.
Yeah.
You know, Detroit, I think Detroit is the team to go through without a shadow of a doubt,
NFC-wise.
AFC, you can't go without saying Patrick Mah homes and what they're able to do.
The Texans are playing really, really good ball, even though the last couple of weeks,
they've kind of, you know, and I think a lot of it has to do with Stefan Diggs going down.
You know, it's just different when you got a couple guys that you have to game plan for,
you know, but they've been playing really well.
A team that's up on the rise that I really like is Pitchford.
Pitchford has been playing some really, really good football.
So I think the FC is kind of wide open right now.
I feel that now that you're retired
and you have so much knowledge of the game,
I'm sure you've been tempted to sports bet.
I have, I have, and I've yet to do it.
But actually on my way down here, I was thinking about,
you know what, I need to go ahead and do like a sports event.
Even if it's something simple, like $1,000 or a parlay
or something.
I mean, you have a huge edge, you know?
Yeah, you know, it was this guy that I played poker with,
Asian guy, old Asian guy.
And he always used to pick my brain, you know,
the past couple years.
Hey, what team do you think going to win? And I would talk to him, yeah, you know, the past couple of years, hey, what team do you think gonna win?
And I would talk to him, yeah, because this, that, and other,
and, you know, different offensive lines,
match up with different defensive lines.
You never, it's just different depending on the team
that you're playing and that player, right?
And that's real, that's what it is.
And he used to come back and he used to come back
week after week and asking, asking, asking,
and he was winning. So I'm just like, you know what? I think I need week and ask and ask and ask. And he was winning.
So I'm just like, you know what?
I think I need to go ahead and try my luck.
I own it.
He needs to break you off on those too.
I can do.
For real.
Give him the sauce.
Yeah.
Well, what's next for you, man?
You know, I don't know.
It's a lot that I can get into.
I got the gym down in Houston, O-Athletics
in the Heights area of Houston, Texas.
You know, I don't know.
I've thought about getting into broadcasting, but...
Big money there.
It's a lot of money there.
It's a lot of money there.
It's just, for me, it's more so like of the time and that investment into it.
So, you know, I wouldn't want to do anything that would keep me away from seeing my kids
play and this and another so
that's kind of like a balance of a thing I'm trying to balance out or whatnot, but
I don't know, you know, I'm an entrepreneur. I did one devil a lot, you know, I'm into stocks
I'm into a lot of different stuff too. So yeah, you in the crypto. I
Know my brother is really big in crypto. I really I should have got into it. I think what?
Bitcoin is up 90, 97 K today.
Your brother probably got in. I like, yeah, he got in. He got in when it was a little,
when it was probably about 15, 15 and 20. So he's winning right now. Seven acts. Yeah.
Let's see. My thing is too, with that, like even 15 and 20, that's, you still make some good money.
I just, I like it when it's like $7, you know, like when you get it when you're really
getting it, you know, because I've had some opportunities where I got into some crude oil
where it was like, it was fluctuated was $3 $2 $2.4 in some sense, this was like before COVID.
And I ended up kind of doing my research and I found a competitor of it.
You know, I can go to peers when you look up whatever.
And they kind of had the same trend where it was like $3, $2 or whatever, whatever.
And then when I seen them, they had dropped down.
It happened right after COVID happened.
Because they were consistent $2, $3 or whatever, whatever.
And they were down. One of them was like 39 cents.
And one of them was like 40 some cents.
For oil?
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
So I bought into it, right?
And I put $0.50 in both of them.
I mean like 2.3 million dollars.
Holy crap.
Here's the crazy thing, though.
I took something out before, but I waited after a full year
because of tax purposes and all that.
But I made like two, one.
Like it was stupid return
because they shot back up $4 through dollars.
Wow, that was a no-brainer.
Yeah, it was, I was like, you know what?
I think I'm like a penny stocks more.
You know, that makes more sense to me.
Yeah, these days you're not going to make a lot of Bitcoin.
Maybe a couple X multiple, but nothing like.
Yeah, unless you're a multi-millionaire,
and you can just go in there and buy a million or whatever
and buy so many shares and it double all right that.
But I would encourage people to really look
into the penny stocks, where you paying a couple dollars,
or $0.50 cents or whatever, whatever,
within five or six months,
you'll see your money will flip so fast,
you'll be like, what?
Especially with Trump and all,
I feel like the stocks are gonna be pumping.
Yeah, so I mean, my eyes are open on that end as well,
but so I double and dabble in a lot of different things.
So we'll see what happens.
I love it.
Well, we'll link your gym below and your social media.
Thanks for coming on, man.
No problem.
Thanks for having me, bro.
Peace, guys.
