Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome to the very first episode of Rory and Moll, Don't Know Ball. Brought to you by our great guys at the volume. Our new partner, shout out to everyone over there. Our label mates, everyone, you know. For the dream come true, Roy.
Starting point is 00:00:21 I've been waiting for a platform to get my sports shit off on. Been waiting for the time I could smoke a wine, black and mild, the Shannon Sharp. That's all I podcasted for, was for that. Yeah. Yeah, no, I was out on the street with the volume folks in New Orleans. Yeah. I was a little here and there.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to scare them. Let them know. We had to shake shit up. Yeah. I wasn't even drunk. I was just slamming bottles on Bourbon Street floor.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Yeah. Just to see how they reacted. Just let them know. Just to see the emails that came the next day. Well, he was, can't wait to meet you in person. Yeah. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Don't know what you signed up for. I'm coming down Bourbon Street with two great Danes and a bottle of fucking wild turkey. I'm here. Well, this is don't know ball because, uh, because Rory, we don't know Yes. I feel like I love the press release shout out of boardroom shouts everyone. I think everyone thought we were about to do a full-blown sports show, which isn't the case per se. No. You and I have spent a lot of time around athletes and every time that they want to talk, they don't want to talk about sports. They want to argue with us about music. Right. Group chats, my text message, everything is
Starting point is 00:01:24 just all about rappers. Right. So we thought maybe we would bring that on air because I can only speak for myself. All athletes have the worst rap takes I've ever heard in my fucking life. Well, that's what I was going to say. Like, we, we get killed for our sports takes and, you know, obviously, we don't know ball. But athletes don't know music. No. Some of them, some of them surprisingly know more than we expect. But this is why we've created this show to kind of show those contrast of, yeah, we don't know ball, but a lot of these athletes, they don't know music either. So we let's have a conversation with some of our favorite athletes and favorite people from the sports world. And let's see exactly how much we don't
Starting point is 00:02:03 know about ball. Yeah, because I feel like they go hand in hand. Rappers want to be athletes, athletes want to be rappers. It's just, it's part of the culture. It's part of it. Forever. I mean, shit, even down to the rap beef shit, Iverson getting brought up in some shit he ain't want to be brought up in. Right. Every time, I feel like every time there's a rap battle and athlete's name gets brought up somewhere in there. Because I was even going back. I think every single battle has that. Well, you can't have too many hip-hop bar. without it being a sports reference. And is it something that has been in unison since the beginning?
Starting point is 00:02:34 A lot of the basketball, in particular, basketball culture taking off is in large part of hip hop becoming such a worldwide phenomenon. So we're here to have some fun. Talk to some athletic guests. Talk to some guests from the sports world. Yeah. And let's see how much we can share with each other. Yeah, media, coaches, personalities, not just always athletes all the time. And that was a very mature response that you were saying that, of course, there's metaphors and rap bars about sports.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I was talking about them sleeping with the same women because that's what's, that's what gets brought up in every single battle. Yeah, that's a whole other conversation. That's what I was getting, I was going to do every battle like, yo, there's always a rapper that is bringing up someone that their Eskimo brothers win. Yeah, absolutely. It happens. They frequent the same places. And that won't really be the consensus of this show. We're not trying to get messy and do that. It may come up every now and then, but, you know, that'll be in pre-production. Depending on who we're with and depending on how much they still work out. We don't want to start wrestling on the set.
Starting point is 00:03:34 We don't want that to happen. That's when I know shit got really weird when podcasters and athletes that were Eskimo brothers. I was in New Orleans like, you too? Yes. Different world. It's a whole different world out here now. But I am excited because we get to talk. I get to get off some of my, I think I have the best worst takes.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I have the best worst takes. Because I could be, yeah, yeah. Because I could be wrong, but I could be right. You know what I'm saying? So listen, man. What's the Terrence Howard shit and get Richard I trying? I could have been right,
Starting point is 00:04:01 but I could have been wrong. Yeah. And even if I could have been wrong. If I'm wrong, I'm still right. I'm still right. I'm still right. Exactly. Still made no fucking sense.
Starting point is 00:04:09 That's the approach I take to sports. Exactly. So I think we're ready for our guess. Yeah. First one. Let's do it. Welcome to another episode or a new episode of Don't Know Ball
Starting point is 00:04:24 the show with Rory and Mall don't know ball. don't know nothing about ball, but we talk to some of our favorite athletes and sports personalities so they can tell us exactly how much we don't know ball. And today, we are joined by a legend. One of my favorite personalities,
Starting point is 00:04:39 one of my favorite players, West Virginia legend, Atlanta GA legend, Adam Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Pac-Man Jones. How you feeling, my brother? I'm doing good, man. I appreciate y'all for having me, man. Yo, listen, it's a pleasure. It's a pleasure to talk to you, man.

Starting point is 00:05:58 It's a pleasure to even have y'all want me to talk on the show. Oh, absolutely not, man. Some people take shit for granted, and then you know that's how to get lost in the fire. But, yeah, my bad, bro. It's all good. We appreciate you taking your time out today, man. Yeah, all good. We're looking for a new project.

Starting point is 00:08:05 No, no, no. I'm plugged in now. Okay, okay. Hey, give me one shame on you. Give me twice shame on me. That's a fact. So, um, I'm here at PXG right now, and I'm going to cut you up. But shout out to PXG, because that's one of my major sponsors that keep my golf game right.
Starting point is 00:08:21 You smell it. No, Pat, listen, man, I got to come to PXG. I got to go on a shop and spree. I need to get everything. I don't have nothing, but I really do want to get into golf. We went golf for maybe two years ago, and I'm absolutely terrible, but it is something that I do want to get into. So the fact that you at PXG, I got to get the PXG and get my whole golf shit together.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And, hey, bro, I got some connections over. You know what I'm saying? Say no more. And I'm starting a golf show, getting a damn hole this summer where I'm going to be shooting on the show. Get in the damn hole. I like that. Getting in the damn hole.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You know what I mean? We're going to take four, everybody got to take four shots before we start the game. It's a timely fashion, five holes, been big money, smoking a lot of weed. And, man, respecting the culture of golf, but, like, it's a different culture now when it comes to golf. Absolutely. Oh, no, I got to see, that's my type of show. I got to be a guest on that show, bro. Four shots.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I got you. I need you. Four shots, smoke, and then we. Oh, no, I'm down. Get in the damn hole. Get in the damn hole. Getting the goddamn hole, man. I'm down.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I'm definitely coming to shoot that with you, for sure. You know, schoolboy Q said he was going to retire rapping and just golf. Have you connected with him yet? No, I haven't. I know School Boy Q, but I haven't talked to him since he made that statement. But great deal, though. He golfed. He golf for real.
Starting point is 00:09:39 He's golf game. He walked out to ass when he went golf with him. What did he shoot? I can't remember what he shot, but we shot out in Calabasas at the Calabasasas Club. But he played with y'all. Y'all sucks, sound like. No, no, 100%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:50 No, we trash. But it was some real golfers out there. Matt Barnes was there. His golf game looked pretty decent, but it was some real golfs out there. Black Barnes can't golf. It was some golfers out there that really did their thing. But Q actually surprised me.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Like, you know, he was, and he's been talking about how much he's jumped into golf. Obviously, J.R. Smith, everything that he's doing in golf now. J.R. can go. Yeah, no, J. J. R. Smith can definitely. Play with J. That's my boy.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah. So I definitely, I want to get into it, man, because I think, like you said, it is, it is cool that, you know, more of us are getting into golf and kind of bringing our culture into golf and having fun with the sport and just making it in our own.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I think anything we touch, we make it our own and we make it. Yeah, it's crazy, bro. Like, where are we at right now and compared to what we used to be? Like, golf was a rich white sport. Oh, rich, white. You had to have a lot of money to play golf.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Some way you can compare it to fucking hockey. Like, well, we grew up down, have hockey, bro. Like, the goddamn hockey skates cost $1,000. Right. Kids in the hood can't pay for that. Right. These tight list balls, these PXG clubs that I'm hitting. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:10:55 You know what I mean? These are $20,000 clubs for a set. Mm-hmm. Damn. Wow. So I think now where we're at in the day and the time, it's about what you want to do. They're making shit affordable for what you want.
Starting point is 00:11:12 You get what I'm saying. Everybody can't get PXG straight off the rip, but if you're in that ballpark, you can get the PXGs. But, like, we didn't have, we didn't have, the tools when I grew up where I'm from from Bankhead, boat right west side of Atlanta, Georgia, going, and I stayed right up the street to East Lake. Yeah, we would go up there and pick up balls for money,
Starting point is 00:11:33 but it was nowhere near, and we was getting the chance to play. Right. And so, like, yeah, I enjoy it, bro. It's me competing against myself. You know what I mean? Just being that little white ball like that, you can't get mad at nobody.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Yeah. With yourself out there. When you playing golf, Is your approach to it as far as from a music standpoint on the way to the course? Are you listening to the same type of music you will listen to on your way to the field? Damn, that's a good question. I listen to music the whole time I'm playing golf. Like, I always got to speak on my car.
Starting point is 00:12:06 What's in your golf car? What's on your playlist for your golf cart? A lot of jelly row. I ain't going to lie. Okay. All right. A lot of jewelry. Just because I ain't trying to get all riled up, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:15 It's a different frequency in golf. Yeah, like a lot of jelly roll. Is that what made you want to do the country record? Huh? Is that what made you want to do the country record? No, actually, it just so happened to happen because I'm pretty talented. And me and Jimmy was talking one day and, like, Jailorow was my friend, bro. Like, we went to college school.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Like, my part was sleeping. Jelleyroll went to West Virginia? We were sleeping on my couch. Like, we're, like, I know him, know him. I didn't know he went to West Virginia. I didn't know he went to West Virginia. I didn't know he went to West Virginia. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Jelleroa went to West Virginia. Wow. Blanco. Wow. Blanco is like my best friend. He grew up in the same projects I grew up in. That's insane. I had no idea about that.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I heard going to do the two-step six years before it came out. Like, does my boy. Like, future, right up the street. All right. So now I know who the feature is that you ain't want to say. Now I know who the feature is. I have not said any names yet. But that's a good assumption.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah, I know. Sources. Yeah. Sources. What's the Z right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you met Jelly Roll at West Virginia, was he making music? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Okay. Were you making music at that time, too? Well, I would go in and rap, but, like, I would always, like, I've always been in the studio and around the studio, but, like, them chicks won't, like football chicks, bro. No, yeah. Like, I ain't none of them chicks, like. No, absolutely not. I'm cool, but, like, now. I'm actually invested in some rappers, and I would not say their name.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Okay. That are mainstream artists. Yeah. But them checks are not like them football checks. No, absolutely not. Not even close. Like, I'm making $500,000 a week. Like, you think I'm worrying about rapping really?
Starting point is 00:14:09 You think I want Spotify's penny? Come on. Like, what are we talking about? Yeah. It don't appear at all. I've always enjoyed doing it. Like, I had a label that was called, NSL when I was in the league and NFL made me like change the name because it was sound too close
Starting point is 00:14:26 I had the same sign as NFL but it's NSL National Street League yeah um so I've always been divving and dabbing in the music I had the biggest studio in Atlanta um everybody came through 808 um metro the future and of selling in the future after I was like, all right, I'm done with this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this side of the other game. But yeah, man, like, we bought it from Dallas, uh, Austin. Okay, okay. Back in the day. So, like, yeah, I've always been around like, T I, G, easy, like, I've been around, like, you know, I realized, bro, like, yeah, like, football saved my life. So I was in the streets, like, really in the streets, like, for real, for real.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Mm-hmm. So I was young. bro, like 15, 16 years old at Magic City at Belved Room. Velvet Room. God, damn. Yeah, like, I'm talking about classic. Dressed up like Chris Cross with the jersey on backwards. Yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah. Like, shout out to Kay Wells, too. Like, but, like, I've been around a long time, bro. A long time. Speaking of the ATL music scene, to Pac-Man Jones, who is the king of the ATL music scene? Young thug. Young thug. Period.
Starting point is 00:15:52 One of them, Blunt. You say a period or just of the new generation? None of them niggas would be doing nothing. The new generation. Okay. Little baby, future, Ghana. None of them niggas would be nothing without thug. Mm-hmm.

Shorty-Low disagreement. I got a version of Shorter. I got, I was talking about saying R.P. is Shaldi. Hold on. R.P. is to Carlos.

I know what you're thinking. What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast. I'm Sam Jett. And I'm Alex English.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so you know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
Starting point is 00:18:03 We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.
Starting point is 00:19:00 There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars, and now I guess also as the co-host of the Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Joe Rodano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help! Somebody! Please! But there's so much more to me than me. I'm an actor. I'm a comedian. And recently, I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, hope from a hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions. Sike, I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice.

Yeah, rest of peace, Shorty Low, for sure. Oh, that man, man. Real West Side. So what were you listening to growing up? I mean, outside of going to strip club of 15,
Starting point is 00:21:34 what music was playing around you in Bankhead? I want to listen to none of that shit. My life was so fast. I didn't get fucked by no music. I was trying to stay alive, my boy. Yeah. That music shit is this day and age in time. Like, we didn't have all these phones.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Like, we had phones, like, maybe high school, but, like, you still didn't have a phone. Like, we had MySpace, bro. My space, what was the other shit they had? But, like, we didn't have the platform of all this shit that we, this new technology screaming and all that when we grew up. So, like, I grew up, bro, like, and I ain't trying to be boosting them.
Starting point is 00:22:10 bragging, but, like, I grew up trying to stay alive. Like, my whole thing was, like, I'm going to keep my head in this football because once I go out of this dope, I don't want that to catch up with me, you know what I mean, and basketball, all sports, I should say, but, like, I was different, like, mentally driven, like, way different than a lot of kids that was in the projects, you get what I'm saying? Like, my dad was, like, the man. Like, I'd seen my dad get killed right in front of me. So, like, a lot of things that...
Starting point is 00:22:40 that other people might be, like, looking up to, like, that wasn't me. Like, I've never had, oh, I want to be, like, Emmy Smith. Like, no, that, that, that, like, mentally, I've just always been like that. And then the last time I ever thought that I wanted to be somebody when I was growing, which was Deion Sanders. And that was just more of the person that Deon is, you know what I mean, not as the player. And when I got to meet him, I'm like, damn, this is who I need to try to fucking be like. And can't be like him because he don't cuss.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I cuss all the time. But, like, I took a lot of characteristics from our relationship, him being in my life and being like a big brother or a father figure and tried to implement that. And my day to that basis, so I'm fucking whacking nobody around here. Right. Yeah, please don't do that, bro. Who was the rapper that you first started listening to when you said, you know what? I think that I can make music.

Yeah, say what you really want to say, bro. Like, come on. No, I'm actually more so about the party scene and everything in Atlanta
Starting point is 00:26:57 on that second season. First of all, he did his time. Statue of Limitations is over. He did his time. We could all talk about it at this point. But when they arrived in Atlanta, was that wave really like that? The wave was already like that, though. And, like, you got to realize, like, so I grew up in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Then I leave West Virginia and go to California, right? I meet tea in California. Okay. Do you hear what I'm saying? That 3-21 shit was T-shed, like, which if you look on your phone, it's B-M-F on the phone. They used to say that you're not because I already out there. But, like, it wasn't nothing different that I didn't know, though, I can tell you 10 people that was spending just as much money that was going out every night.
Starting point is 00:27:45 They had same amount of cars, same amount of girls. Like, it was just, he was a little bit more flamboying with it. I just put it like that. Yeah. I hear that. So now let's talk about your time in Dallas. Did Jerry Jones or the Cowboys have any clubhouse rules that you was just absolutely like, how are we supposed to be loose, how we're supposed to be getting ready for a game,
Starting point is 00:28:12 and y'all got all these damn rules in this. clubhouse. Shout out to my team at BenOnline. a.g. Shout out to the Pacman Jones show. I've never had
Starting point is 00:28:22 a rule in a clubhouse, bro. I'm really good. You never had a rule in a clubhouse. Doesn't mean there wasn't rules. Doesn't mean it wasn't rules. But you ain't ever had no rules
Starting point is 00:28:33 in a clubhouse. Never. Nobody, bro, I've never had a problem at the clubhouse. Okay. Not one. Like, my problem is when I leave that motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah. You get up saying, I'm out all night. You get what time? What time we're supposed to be in for curfew? God, damn, we got to make right. Hey, look, my coaches be like, we got a night game. We've got to lock this nigga in the room. But he's not coming back for curfew.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Yeah. I'd never forget it. I was playing, we played the Eagles when I was with Tennessee. Okay. In Philly. We had a night game. Coach Fisher was like, man, I need you here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:14 At least by 12 o'clock. I'm like, bro, we don't play the 8 o'clock, bro. Like, if you're going to find me, go ahead and find me. I go out, I go out of the script club. I took a couple of my teammates with me. He fined the shit out of them, too. I will say that. I got back at like 2.30.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I was wasted, too. Uh-huh. I had a pun for 9-8 yards to win the game. So at that point, you can't just let me do what I do, because when it's game time, I'm locked in. Yeah, trust my process. I'm locked in. Let me get relaxed.
Starting point is 00:29:43 What did coach say after that after that touchdown? What did he say? So you can Google this player. I ran back to the sideline, threw up, and went back in the game because it was defense time. Gangster. That was a punt return that I took to the house that Eagles game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:03 But like Coach Fisher and Coach Lewis was by far. And Coach Rodriguez, I would say that too. my college coach. Okay. They player coaches. You know what I mean? And all that shit, you treat every player the same, that's a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:21 That's a lot. So we see Coach Sanders and what he did for Colorado as far as bringing the coach here there and turning that program around. The newest one, Deshawn Jackson, is now going to Delaware State. And we'll see what he does as far as bringing the culture there. Has Pac-Man ever thought about getting to coaching? No. Hey, bro, I'm outside, bro. I ain't tough, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Listen, bro. Listen, I tell people this, I don't got offered. 25 fucking D1 coaches jobs. 25. I will not take not one of them. That's not for me, bro. I respect that. You know it's not for you.
Starting point is 00:31:04 I respect that. Bro, I'm still outside. And, like, if I'm going to coach somebody, it's going to be my fucking son. Right. Like, I'm not. I played football 14. years. You think I want to fucking sit in a fucking office.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Watch goddamn film. 13 hours out today. I'm retired for a reason. No. You want to be at PXG golf and that's where you try to be at chilling. You see what I'm at, man. I got the new clubs too.
Starting point is 00:31:29 These are new ones right here, my boy. Yeah. Between Tennessee, Dallas, Cincinnati, what city had the best culture that kept you from not making that curfew? I got to go. Definitely Dallas.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Dallas. I'm going to say Dallas got to be. Dallas was, man, bro, everybody got groupies at Dallas. Everybody got two girlfriends. Like, that shit for real. Like, all that old cap-ass shit, bro, like, you got to be honest and say what's what,
Starting point is 00:31:58 you know what I mean? Right. All that old, not having. Boy, you got that star on your helmet. You could be the goddamn practice squad. Right, right. Man, you're getting a car deal. You're getting clothes.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And hose. And holds. Which one of your former team? Your teammates were you most impressed by, like, as far as them making music and rapping? My teammates, as far as rapping? Any former teammate that you heard their music and was like, damn, he's all right. Or does anyone in the league period? It's a kid named J-mo.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Jay-mo is really good. He played with me in Denver. He got some hot shit. I just think I should have probably signed him now that I'm thinking about it. And it's just people don't realize, like, it's content, content. So you got a good song, it still got to be some content with the song. To support it, yeah. And that's what I found out early on.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Like, all right, you can put out a song, the song good. But these motherfuckers want to see something while that song is going on. You know what I'm saying? That's just where we're at right now in the world. Like, everything is click, boom, I either want to hear it or read it. You get what I'm saying? So I think that's the biggest part with him. I think J-Mo, I would go with J-Bong.
Starting point is 00:33:11 he can go he can sing and Marvin Jones was good too bro okay I didn't even know he made me
Starting point is 00:33:20 yeah Marvin Jones can sing his ass off yeah yeah I did matter of for a receiver yeah yeah yeah

Starting point is 00:39:54 But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Like you're right there next to some legendary sound. Like, because when I, like I said, the Ferrari, when I played that, I was, I'm not going to lie, bro. I was like, no, this record is dope. Like, I was not expecting to hear.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I see Ferrari kid. I'm like, I let me hear what Pac-Man talking about. But when it came on, it didn't sound like, it didn't sound like. somebody that is just trying to do this music shit. It sounds like somebody that's been around it that has come up in the music, has been, knows what sounds to listen

I'm talking about. I'm not going to lie, Pat, before we let you go, I did enjoy watching one interview with you and they was asking you what was your first big purchase and you said you bought 60 acres of land. I just got to salute you on that because you don't hear a lot of young athletes when they first
Starting point is 01:01:23 come into this bag and get this money saying that they purchased land. So when you said that that was your first big purchase was buying 60 acres of land. But let me tell you something. Fuck that land because you don't know how much upkeeping that shit was cutting all that grass, bro. I fuck that, lamb, my bad. I actually didn't make a lot of money off of it. Only reason I made a lot of money off of it? The only reason I made a lot of money off of it, because I was right next door to George Jones.

I got a four-wheeler trail that's 180. up in Hillsborough here in Cincinnati, but, like, I don't have to cut the grass and shit. Like, it's not my responsibility to do those. But, like, yeah, that, it's a lot.
Starting point is 01:02:14 It just depends on what you want, man. Like, now I'm on a golf course. Yeah. Which I only got, like, four or five acres. Uh-huh. Four acres. But, like, it's huge. 17,000 square feet in the pool, you know what I mean?
