00:00:12.500 fun enjoying ourselves and we just know how to have fun unlike anyone else. If you guys like

00:00:17.460 fun conversations, hot takes, what else? Not too hot, just kind of lukewarm takes to get your mind

00:00:23.940 thinking a little bit. Listen to Out of Character on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

00:01:02.400 I help you make sense of the stories shaping our world.

00:01:05.460 Each day, I break down the biggest headlines.

00:01:08.280 Canada's trade fight with the U.S. just escalated again,

00:01:11.520 and Americans could fill it in their wallets.

00:01:14.200 And when a story deserves a deeper conversation,

00:01:16.940 I'll sit down with experts, newsmakers, and thought leaders

00:01:19.700 to help you better understand the issue behind the headlines.

00:01:23.100 Listen to Front Page from the Black Effect Podcast Network

00:01:33.600 of Biggest Rivalries of All Time podcast,

00:01:36.520 we take you back to the very first rivalry of the WNBA.

00:01:40.600 The Comets were the real deal.

00:01:42.140 I mean, come on.

00:01:43.020 The Liberty was just tough.

00:01:44.480 Oh, God.

00:01:45.620 The New York Liberty versus the Houston Comets.

00:01:48.160 When we hit the floor, it was hot, heated fights,

00:01:51.680 elbows, competition, trash talking.

00:01:54.320 Who is the better team?

00:01:55.820 People lie, but numbers don't.

00:01:57.240 Listen to Biggest Rivalries of All Time on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:02:07.060 It's good to be here.

00:02:08.480 It's good to be here.

00:02:09.560 Hey, Steve, can I be honest with you, bro?

00:02:11.560 You're the guy that fucks my wife, and I'm cool with it.

00:02:22.700 Bill Nye is just swearing up a storm.

00:02:25.260 What do you mean by that?

00:02:26.140 He dropped this video that said...

00:02:28.140 The river could go up another four to eight degrees.

00:02:30.780 What I'm saying is the planet's on fucking fire.

00:02:34.100 Whoa.

00:02:34.640 There are a lot of things we could do.

00:02:35.900 Like, imagine that, bro.

00:02:36.980 Bill Nye.

00:02:38.220 One, others have called him, people of the past have called him Bill Nye, the science guy.

00:02:42.860 And now he's turned into some sort of Howard Stern reject.

00:02:46.180 Hey, welcome back to Impulsors, the number one podcast in the world.

00:02:48.980 Bill Nye, if you're watching, we love you, dude.

00:03:02.820 We freaking love you guys.

00:03:03.860 Thank you for listening to us.

00:03:04.760 This podcast is great.

00:03:05.880 It's great to do, but also mainly just do it.

00:03:08.640 True.

00:03:08.940 And great.

00:03:09.220 If you're listening to the audio only version, that's great.

00:03:12.540 Because we do an extended.

00:03:14.640 Can you shut the fuck up, bro?

00:03:16.060 Because you're kind of just chiming in when I'm talking.

00:03:17.800 You got a new wardrobe and now you're acting all cocky.

00:03:20.380 You got a Yeezus shirt.

00:03:21.600 Just walk in here, bro.

00:03:23.700 I'm going to get today's guest to beat your ass, dude.

00:03:26.140 Hey, but before we bring him on, I just want to talk about some things.

00:03:31.580 Don't confuse me for Jake.

00:03:33.400 Don't do that.

00:03:34.120 It's done.

00:03:34.820 It's over.

00:03:35.520 We don't even look alike.

00:03:37.200 I'm three inches taller.

00:03:38.500 What if you're in a foreign country?

00:03:39.940 No, bro.

00:03:40.900 And it's like.

00:03:41.460 No.

00:03:42.420 Like, we look so different.

00:03:44.140 I don't understand.

00:03:44.880 Like, I would never confuse Chris Hemsworth for Liam Hemsworth.

00:03:48.340 What am I, seven?

00:03:51.360 What's the problem here?

00:03:52.320 Well, here's one of the issues I think it might be.

00:03:53.960 A lot of the people that come up to you and say, oh my God, Logan, you say, I'm not Logan,

00:03:57.000 I'm Jake.

00:03:57.620 So what if you told so many people that, that you started to manifest yourself into your

00:04:02.360 little brother?

00:04:03.960 Yeah.

00:04:04.340 You spread a false, false lies, false, false rumors, bro.

00:04:07.280 His hair is still going up though, dude.

00:04:08.860 And mine falls down and it's a little wave.

00:04:12.340 My dog's a real life dildo.

00:04:14.200 Which one?

00:04:14.720 Oh, the new Broly.

00:04:15.960 Really?

00:04:16.380 Yeah.

00:04:16.660 The Husky, the Husky.

00:04:18.020 He, I just realized, I think he has some sort of muscle deficiency problem.

00:04:22.000 He suffered some sort of

00:04:23.680 Like a dildo has a muscle deficiency problem

00:04:26.480 No just like a dildo so floppy

00:04:27.820 This dog is floppy bro

00:04:30.500 His paws just go

00:04:31.640 And like he just

00:04:33.120 Everything about him is dildo like

00:04:35.420 At first I thought it was his youth

00:04:37.520 And the fact that he's a puppy and now I'm worried

00:04:39.380 Now it's just a big fake cock

00:04:41.700 Some dildos are firm though

00:04:43.860 Not one of those kind

00:04:45.500 Have you ever seen him jump up on something

00:04:48.420 And by the way his back legs never make it

00:04:50.760 Just his front

00:04:51.300 And then he crawls up there.

00:04:53.260 Like, what dog is doing that?

00:04:54.780 Is he a dog or Alex Honnold from Free Solo?

00:04:57.960 Just crawling around up everything.

00:04:59.620 I think you're right.

00:05:00.060 I think it's a dildo.

00:05:01.880 He looks like if, like, a jar of peanut butter was, like, had legs, bro.

00:05:06.300 He's just, like, a blob of just nothingness.

00:05:09.260 Hey, speaking of peanut butter, are we going to Vegas this weekend?

00:05:13.200 EDC?

00:05:14.140 We've been cordially invited by the powers that be, just like every other event.

00:05:17.860 But the difference here is that Jake Paul and Tana are gone.

00:05:22.860 And like, let me tell you where the power couple goes.

00:05:28.000 The followers will follow.

00:05:29.960 Bro, have you guys, did you guys talk about this when I was gone?

00:05:32.440 Like, I'm curious, Logan, what are your thoughts on the…

00:05:35.080 Jake and Tana?

00:05:35.920 Yeah.

00:05:36.140 Dude, for those of you who don't know, Jake is, my brother is dating some,

00:05:41.060 some, an internet personality.

00:05:42.800 Why'd you hit the quotes?

00:05:44.040 Because like, bro, I don't know how real this shit is.

00:05:45.440 What's her last name again?

00:05:46.260 I don't know how real it is dog

00:05:49.160 and I'm just like

00:05:49.780 and by the way we love Tana

00:05:50.980 I love her

00:05:51.500 she's sat in that seat before

00:05:52.720 I just

00:05:53.860 I don't know

00:05:56.740 you don't know if it's real

00:05:57.640 yeah and I'm his brother

00:05:59.160 and I don't know if I can get behind

00:06:00.740 a relationship just for clout

00:06:02.160 I don't think I can

00:06:03.040 did you talk to him

00:06:03.800 is that what he says it's for

00:06:05.160 well they like fuck and stuff

00:06:07.880 yeah

00:06:08.380 so is it

00:06:09.580 like

00:06:11.680 at that party

00:06:12.480 the Fashion Nova party

00:06:13.580 before she left

00:06:14.580 because they did not leave together

00:06:25.080 Yeah

00:06:25.540 I'm so happy for my brother

00:06:26.840 My girlfriend didn't allow that

00:06:28.880 Granted I don't even want that

00:06:30.240 Because of how great she was

00:06:31.440 But I'm just saying

00:06:33.160 Like I don't know

00:07:40.940 You were kind of way off, dude.

00:07:42.040 I'm not going to lie.

00:07:42.580 You were 45 minutes too late.

00:07:44.300 This is the thing.

00:07:45.020 You're a pussy.

00:07:45.680 I am.

00:07:46.380 I am.

00:07:46.760 I wish I could say, no, bro.

00:07:55.500 Bro, I see every day.

00:07:57.240 I see you doing this in the backyard.

00:08:01.900 Oh, yeah.

00:08:02.440 And the stationary bike never goes anywhere.

00:08:05.540 It's just weird for nine hours.

00:08:07.280 This just doesn't go anywhere.

00:08:08.260 Is that what we're getting at?

00:08:09.080 Spence, to shave an hour off your last time?

00:08:11.580 An hour and 11 minutes, dog.

00:08:12.840 That's pretty sad.

00:08:13.740 That's my ass, bro.

00:08:14.480 Yeah, well, let's see you do an Iron Man, bitch.

00:08:16.240 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:08:18.420 You never will, bro.

00:08:20.000 No, no, and here's why you never will, bro.

00:08:22.160 Because I don't got time for that.

00:08:24.100 How long does it take?

00:08:25.020 I don't.

00:08:26.120 How long does it take?

00:08:27.700 Without the...

00:08:29.520 11.

00:08:31.220 I did it in 11 hours, 46 minutes.

00:08:32.920 Do you know what he does in a hour or 46 minutes?

00:08:36.640 Consumes content

00:08:39.380 Consumes shit content

00:08:40.680 Plays with Broly

00:08:42.040 Doesn't jerk off

00:08:42.920 He brings in fucking talent for that

00:08:45.100 Okay

00:08:45.580 So he doesn't actually jerk off

00:08:47.300 He usually showers

00:08:48.920 I say usually I use that sparingly

00:08:51.740 Because it's not always

00:08:52.400 And what's the other thing that you do?

00:08:55.200 Mainly just be

00:08:56.100 All in those 11 hours

00:08:57.680 So imagine him biking, running

00:08:59.900 And fucking

00:09:00.640 I couldn't do it

00:09:01.340 The other thing

00:09:01.960 Well okay so

00:09:02.880 Couldn't happen

00:09:03.680 I went to China

00:09:05.040 I went

00:09:05.980 we did a lot of stuff

00:09:08.120 over the last six months and I missed

00:09:10.180 some heavy training blocks

00:09:11.640 so I learned like how crucial

00:09:14.260 like you got to stick to the exact plan

00:09:16.200 I'll be honest are you proud of him Angel? Angel's his

00:09:18.260 girlfriend

00:09:18.580 that is something that you have to have endurance for

00:09:22.540 kind of the question is

00:09:24.140 like how he does other things

00:09:25.880 like what Angel? What other things

00:09:28.300 does he do with endurance?

00:09:29.900 no Angel you tell us right?

00:09:31.860 yeah

00:09:31.980 alright I thought you were going somewhere else with that

00:09:36.660 All jokes aside, I'm proud of you.

00:09:38.100 Iron Man's extremely hard.

00:09:39.120 Just next time, you're going sub 10.

00:09:40.640 All right.

00:09:40.900 You're going sub 10.

00:09:41.660 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:09:42.980 Next time I'm going to Kona, I'm going nine hours.

00:09:47.300 Let's go.

00:09:48.180 Yeah.

00:09:48.400 I'm not going to do another one until I go for Kona.

00:09:50.820 Let's go, Spencer.

00:09:51.500 I've made that decision.

00:09:52.640 All right, bro.

00:09:53.140 We could be as athletic as we want, but we're.

00:09:56.360 There's a typo on the intro.

00:09:58.000 A typo?

00:09:58.560 There's a typo on the intro.

00:09:59.920 My producer's telling me now he's looking at me in the eyes.

00:10:02.020 Is it muscle and fitness?

00:10:03.700 If you don't move, you can't see you.

00:10:06.480 What?

00:10:06.720 What was it?

00:10:07.080 What was it?

00:10:07.540 Right here.

00:10:08.520 No, it's right here.

00:10:09.200 What?

00:10:09.640 It's fitness.

00:10:11.140 I spotted it with my third eye.

00:10:13.220 I would have caught that.

00:10:13.860 And by the way, I'm going to read it just like you typed it.

00:10:17.380 All right.

00:10:17.820 We're talking about athletics.

00:12:02.720 is this a real dream yeah you know what i mean but like every single person has to to start

00:12:07.980 somewhere and like that's why like for me to come in here and have conversations with you guys like

00:12:12.120 about real stuff yeah and an obsession because that's one thing that like all of us in this room

00:12:17.620 And usually the people that come to this property, like you guys don't get enough credit for your obsession for things because there was no guarantee when you started out on the journey that you're on.

00:12:27.480 It was cool to listen to the podcast you did with your mom.

00:12:29.760 And I'm sitting here and listen to some of the answers that she has, knowing that she's been here for the whole journey of inception to where you guys are at right now.

00:12:39.300 And it's just really, it's powerful to be around people that funnel obsession into powerful things.

00:12:45.340 Because I know you had periods of your life where you're obsessed.

00:12:48.960 The opposite direction.

00:12:49.680 Right.

00:12:49.960 But it was still an obsession.

00:12:51.260 So like people are born with drive and ambition.

00:12:55.600 And I truly, truly believe that.

00:12:57.740 I mean, anybody can go out and find it or create it.

00:13:00.280 But I believe that people are born with a powerful desire or ambition.

00:13:04.820 And I feel like that is what your gift is.

00:13:06.620 like you're super creative and everything but it's it's your ability to take something that

00:13:10.880 you're obsessed with and and sometimes you're choking it but you're nurturing it and you're

00:13:15.300 constantly sharpening your tool to the point where you you build an empire that has so much

00:13:21.280 influence on people that it's it's it's awesome to be around people like that because that is

00:13:27.860 is what i am and that's what you know that's my mission right now that's why i walked away from

00:13:32.400 football and it's funny to giggle at these magazines but when i look at them i think about

00:13:36.280 when i was 14 that's crazy success breeds success man the more you're around that type of person

00:13:41.520 but who were you around that made you great that made this type of thing possible or was that a

00:13:47.480 self-obtained goal no i mean it's just like dude you guys lift weights man and we were talking

00:13:51.940 spencer was talking about by the way i did my first half marathon about i don't know probably

00:13:57.440 two months ago and i'm not a runner at all i did it at 256 pounds my goal was to do it at 250 because

00:14:03.200 I didn't want to lose weight to do it so I did it at 246 and I only prepped for six weeks and

00:14:08.040 I'm not saying this to like brag but it just it it was just a reminder because I hate running

00:14:12.960 and when I picked that as a goal it was really because one of my buddies was that I lift with

00:14:17.840 in the morning always says well you can't do anything with it like you're just strong you

00:14:22.420 can't run like I run because he runs so I said all right well I'll I'll do any race you want to

00:14:27.120 do and i'll beat you in it long story short i beat him by like 45 minutes but i trained i trained

00:14:33.860 so freaking hard when i say obsessed for five and a half weeks like i'm just grinding on how far

00:14:40.080 are you running every day um my my run plan was was five and a half weeks and and it would go like

00:14:45.500 a six miler a three miler a five miler a day off a 10 miler an eight miler a two miler a day off so

00:14:52.520 it was a lot of running and I didn't, and I didn't neglect any of my weightlifting. So it's

00:14:57.860 just like, dude, I'm waking up at four o'clock every, every morning, just so I can get my work

00:15:01.740 in and still do my business, spend time with my wife, spend time with my five kids. You know what

00:15:06.940 I mean? But I don't want the vision that I have for my life to be slown, slown down by anything

00:15:12.300 that I can control. So it's just about applying that obsession to things that you want to build.

00:15:17.040 And it's just, it's, it's fun to be around people that are hungry and constantly always desiring to,

00:15:22.020 to be better and to do better how much you weigh now and how tall you probably 240 right now you're

00:15:27.560 bigger than i thought you'd be we'll talk big boy yeah i'm still a pussy i need you i need to remember

00:15:32.560 that hey by the way really quick i need you to remember the same dude i give a heck of a hug

00:15:36.500 i'm gonna pam i'm gonna call him out on it right now the self-deprecation shit so she called she

00:15:41.360 brought this to my attention today i guess a lot of times and you you probably notice it more than

00:15:46.120 i do he either is calling himself a trick asshole a pussy a bitch what are some of the other things

00:15:51.600 he says i washed up controversial whatever right pam said to me this morning she said i've noticed

00:15:56.640 logan has gotten into this even joking sense of self-deprecation i don't know where it came from

00:16:01.640 and i started to think about it why are you a trick-ass hoe why are you a bitch and why are

00:16:05.500 you a pussy because that's all jokes i know because that's what people want to hear bro

00:16:08.520 like am i realistically am i gonna sit here and tell you like i'm the fucking shit what about like

00:16:14.800 in between could you find like a happy balance like i'm like i'm a trick-ass and also i'm really

00:16:20.500 good at filing taxes and expense reports because your mom because your mom said and i quote her

00:16:27.560 here she said she thinks one of the reasons that you've become such a bitch is because you say it

00:16:32.620 so much he's manifesting that yeah speaking into existence you said that mom hey steve has your

00:16:41.020 mom ever told you you're a bitch no man my mom my mom loves jesus and i feel like she loves me

00:16:46.880 almost that much but pam i will tell you this you should be really proud oh my god you really

00:16:51.560 should be proud she's proud he does he does a lot of great things and he's handled adversity

00:16:57.120 and i mean this like a real pro because i'm not like huge huge into youtube although i do follow

00:17:03.440 people that have influence and i thought he really handled that like a pro hey appreciate you bro

00:17:07.520 appreciate you for real that that means a lot coming from you um because you've done a lot

00:17:11.940 of shit yourself dude and i mean i had to navigate new york media now granted like

00:17:15.760 like let's let's let's talk about the like the totem pole okay of of nfl athletes and like

00:17:22.380 where are you at on the pecking order like i'm barely like an inch or two above the janitor

00:17:28.300 you know like you're a punter i don't even score points so like i don't really need to like self

00:17:33.660 deprecate myself that much because i'm already like pretty low on the totem pole but at the end

00:17:37.640 of the day like somehow my name always still ends up on like the vip list like it's at the bottom

00:17:42.940 And I don't know if it's because my last name starts with a W or that's just where I belong.

00:17:47.140 But I've always been super fortunate and blessed with with opportunities.

00:17:52.160 And the majority of the time when I take a swing at him, I'm contacting because I'm putting myself in good situations by surrounding myself with hungry people that really want to do like of substance in the world.

00:18:04.100 It doesn't benefit you, Mike, to talk about your battles with with drugs and addictions, but it benefits someone else.

00:18:11.620 Yeah, it benefits other people.

00:18:12.920 and that's why it's like this is so powerful yeah it can be slightly cathartic at first

00:18:17.420 because you're getting stuff you're you're dealing with demons and traumas that you never

00:18:20.460 have before but it's helpful to talk about it yeah but after you've said the story so many times

00:18:25.020 you start to realize the effect it has on other people and that is so cathartic it's incredible

00:18:29.740 i cannot believe you were a punter bro like look what punters like those are crazy and even your

00:18:36.660 captions are like a-list influencer caption once you lick the lollipop of mediocrity you'll suck

00:18:41.980 it for life like the average punter is like it's like a tooth literally a toothpick yeah but i think

00:18:47.620 like we talked about earlier and giggle about it but i think honestly like still i still have the

00:18:52.600 insecurity of like when i was that little boy really you know what i mean and so even now like

00:18:57.520 i don't need to look like i i look right now like i you know yes i i i make money um creating

00:19:04.400 programs and and supplements and i i love what i do and i help people change their body and in the

00:19:11.860 process is like, people come to you for like bigger arms and better abs, but what they end

00:19:17.400 up getting is self-confidence from actually starting and finishing a program. And the bigger

00:19:24.080 arms or the better abs are just, yeah, because I think the, the, the real problem with, with people

00:19:31.760 pursuing and finding what it is that they're obsessed with is they just get overwhelmed on

00:19:36.020 like where to start. So doing all the fitness business and helping people do that is awesome.

00:19:40.340 but now I'm in a season of my life and I'm starting to evolve just like you guys have

00:19:44.240 constantly been evolving and reinventing yourself is I've only been giving people 20% of what I

00:19:49.940 truly think that they, they need, or they want that they don't even know that they want. So I've

00:19:54.200 been giving them 20% of it, the arms and the abs and the nutrition and the motivation. But what

00:19:58.260 about the 80 other, the other 80%? You can buy it now on steveweatherford.com. No, I'm not even

00:20:03.640 selling anything. It's just like, I like, that's what I'm motivated to do, regardless if that's,

00:20:08.340 You know what I mean? Like websites or Instagrams or going and speaking, regardless if it's third, you know, third graders or, you know, a room full of CEOs.

00:20:16.340 Like, I love to do that more than I ever loved playing football. And and so that's kind of like where I'm at in life.

00:20:23.700 And it's it's a very unique place to be because I've gone through all of the things, Mike, that you've gone through with drug addiction and just obsessive.

00:20:32.240 i read some of that so what was so what was your what was your uh situation in your scenario how

00:20:37.520 did that all come to be pretty typical i'm assuming for most people that have ever dealt

00:20:42.500 with anything like that it's injury you know doctor gives you what you need and as soon as

00:20:48.540 you don't need it anymore you just want it and so my my addiction and my my real problem started

00:20:54.420 with with drugs towards the tail end of my career after an injury and then i i just took it because

00:21:01.240 i wanted it and the reason that i wanted it was kind of goes back to like us about that 14 year

00:21:06.240 old kid yeah it's like i still viewed myself as that skinny kid and i didn't have the self-confidence

00:21:12.840 i i had confidence in my ability as an athlete but i didn't have confidence in my self-worth i

00:21:18.700 only thought my my value to the world or my value to my parents my value to people was me winning

00:21:25.580 or losing and so winning like games weren't games to me when i was a little boy because i discovered

00:21:30.820 at like five years old like i'm different than other kids i have like extreme adhd and i wasn't

00:21:36.580 a bad kid but i always got in trouble but now i'm discovering like as an adult having extreme adhd

00:21:41.500 makes you like super uh creative and it's super helpful and you know i'm sure this room is is

00:21:47.800 filled with that but that's why it's fun to connect with with people that are using what

00:21:52.400 some people regard as a learning disability what it's like it's the greatest gift ever it's just a

00:21:58.300 it's equipping people and equipping kids with the ability to manage their gift when they see it as

00:22:03.680 a curse at that age did you did you have young uh like bullies or people around you or was this

00:22:10.740 like just kind of like a product of the system I think it was like allowing you to flourish no I

00:22:15.840 don't think it was anything outside of myself I think it was I think honestly I think it had a

00:22:20.480 whole lot more to do with like every little boy's dream is like making their dad proud you know so

00:22:26.040 I thought the way that I would make my dad proud because I only valued myself when I was competing

00:22:31.700 because when I was in school I was always in trouble but when I was running track or playing

00:22:35.560 basketball playing soccer I never played football until high school like that's the only time people

00:22:40.180 like clapped for me or or celebrated me and so I was like well this is my worth then let me get

00:22:46.080 really really good at this and so I took that obsession and put it into sports and then when

00:22:50.320 I was 14 I put it into the weight room and it opened up a world of possibilities to me and and

00:22:56.040 dude, life was, was hard. You know what I mean? Like it's hard when, if you win,

00:23:01.000 you give the credit to the rest of your teammates. And then when you lose,

00:23:03.260 you take extreme ownership of that. And that's what really drove me to drugs because I always

00:23:08.800 wanted to win. And now as an adult, I'm starting to figure it out. Really the reason I was driven

00:23:13.560 with ambition and drive had a lot to do with seeking my dad's approval. You know what I mean?

00:23:19.660 Now I'm 36 years old and I'm a father and I'm getting an opportunity to speak to other fathers

00:23:24.460 in addition to you know what dude my son is 11 you know i've got 11 9 6 3 and 1 like this house

00:23:30.320 is crazy wow dude come to my house it's a petting zoo you know what i mean what's the boys girls

00:23:35.140 ratio i have one boy four girls there we go yeah where does is he in the middle or is he the oldest

00:23:40.780 he's the oldest so that's awesome i pulled him out oh that's awesome bro yeah confetti on his

00:23:46.160 head like he was old enough to like dad we we did it we won the super bowl and that was 47 miles

00:23:52.120 from my hometown so it's just like those are the the things that like so many people struggle with

00:23:57.760 is depression and anxiety and they they look straight to drugs to fix it for them because

00:24:03.240 that's what's prescribed for people have you have you started to talk to um your son about

00:24:08.760 any of this yet i we we've been i've been looking up stats the past week and i think

00:24:13.460 we we kind of um glimmer over this topic i've never gone super into depth on on what my addiction

00:24:20.520 was like living on people's floors for years at a time and just just having the worst possible time

00:24:26.200 but this is not a story about me this is the biggest crisis in the united states right now

00:24:31.520 i just read a stat that more americans have died between 2007 and 2017 than both the world war ii

00:24:40.040 and vietnam combined yeah more americans from drug addiction it has depressed the life expectancy

00:24:46.080 in this country for three years in a row the average life expectancy continues to drop all

00:24:51.520 as a result of overdose victims and in cities like where logan's from and in that belt between

00:24:56.940 ohio and west virginia they're bringing refrigerated trucks to the hospital every day

00:25:01.660 because they can't fit all the bodies in the morgues and so they've got to park these

00:25:05.960 refrigerated trucks outside the morgues to fill with overdose victims um what do you how do you

00:25:13.560 How do you talk to your kids about something like that?

00:25:15.960 I mean, I feel extremely pressured and I'm saddened by the amount of work I've done on it so far.

00:25:28.420 I bring it up on this show a lot, but this is not the platform for it.

00:25:31.680 And I don't want to talk about something that much, but it's a topic that's not being discussed.

00:25:37.800 how are you discussing your problem and your, and what you almost, you know, it almost probably

00:25:43.280 was your demise. Like me, I was ready to go on the ground for sure. How do you talk about that

00:25:47.660 with your kids? Um, or have you not kind of like my, my, my journey, like my journey through that

00:25:54.460 has been really podcasting it, you know, like as weird as it sounds like, yeah, I've done the

00:25:59.920 therapy and all the other stuff. And, um, you know, I've been, I've always been into like

00:26:04.220 personal development and leadership accountability um but to have the conversation with my son

00:26:10.320 uh it's not very difficult because i can speak to him not like you know i haven't done it like

00:26:18.540 dude i've done everything i've done it every which way like this is not this is not ever going to

00:26:25.720 lead any other place like if you ever have any problems with the dude talk to me because my dad

00:26:30.100 or my son I've been full-on honest with everything I mean he's 11 so I can have that conversation

00:26:35.920 with him and it hasn't been until until recently but I think creating a relationship with my son

00:26:41.420 where he knows I'm not going to judge him I'm going to create a space for him to have that

00:26:45.440 conversation with me so important because that connection is is really like what I wanted with

00:26:50.280 my dad and so many people in our generation our age didn't get that from their dad and so it really

00:26:55.680 dude it it will spin you in a different direction if you don't surround yourself with the right

00:27:00.200 types of people do you think it's counterproductive for parents to like tell their kids like yo if you

00:27:07.500 drink like i'm gonna kill you yeah i think that's i mean because that's the first thing that i would

00:27:12.500 have done and that's what i did like my parents never had sex before they married they got married

00:27:16.380 they never smoked a cigarette and my older brother was an angel my little sister was an angel my

00:27:21.840 little brother was an angel and then there was me you know what i mean and i was always the black

00:27:26.180 sheep because i was always like challenging authority but it's benefited me in like my

00:27:31.540 relentless pursuit of what i want as long as it's something good i'm gonna win you know what i mean

00:27:36.640 and so that's like kind of like what i was talking to logan about being obsessed like

00:27:39.660 when did you come completely obsessed with with creating content not just like youtube just

00:27:45.560 creating content and captivating people and entertaining people when i was six right i was

00:27:52.160 gonna be early yeah when i was i was writing uh novels when i was six years old my teacher would

00:27:57.600 so i would i would uh write them in my journal because i didn't know how to type and my teacher

00:28:03.340 would type them up and laminate them and put them in a little like a binder for me and uh i wanted

00:28:09.180 to be an author when i from about five to eight and then i discovered um and the the digital camera

00:28:14.900 was becoming popular saved up money through a couple birthday parties bought my first digital

00:28:19.920 camera took pictures of flowers and then eventually evolved into a video camera started filming

00:28:25.220 football games etc etc and uh computer started uploading on youtube so it was photography first

00:28:30.880 and then at what point um in your mind did you think it would be a good part good idea to put

00:28:38.440 yourself into that content?

00:28:41.740 We didn't have a choice, dude.

00:28:43.320 I was 10, you know?

00:28:44.960 So who else is going to...

00:28:45.880 No, but I'm saying,

00:28:46.760 when you have the camera,

00:28:47.540 you said you were taking pictures

00:28:48.260 of flowers and stuff.

00:28:49.520 At what point did you start

00:28:50.880 creating content with yourself?

00:28:52.200 The video,

00:28:52.740 when we got the video camera.

00:28:54.020 Okay.

00:28:54.340 It was because I had a little brother,

00:28:55.860 Jake,

00:28:56.280 and it was like,

00:28:57.180 okay, I'll hold it now

00:28:58.560 and you do the funny thing.

00:28:59.880 And then we can just switch

00:29:00.680 and then it'll be funny.

00:29:01.860 And eventually,

00:29:02.740 we forced our friends to do it.

00:29:04.100 Shout out Mac.

00:29:05.240 My friend Mac,

00:29:05.800 who's actually going to Russia with us.

00:29:07.300 um big big reason why we created so much content because he was always down to he didn't want to

00:29:11.960 be in front of the camera he was down to just film and we would make him sometimes and he'd do it but

00:29:15.760 uh yeah man it was it was we noticed at a very early age i wanted to um hit on something though

00:29:22.880 when you were talking about growing up uh it sounds like the the feeling that you had when

00:29:27.960 you were that skinny 14 year old kid using your words yeah uh has scarred you in a good way

00:29:35.340 like it's definitely uh it's result it's yielded like that insecurity has yielded

00:29:41.140 what people would view as like greatness i guess so being on magazines and stuff so why i'm curious

00:29:46.660 is like um you said i was bigger than you expected bro when i was 14 i was also the

00:29:52.140 they call me shrimp i was the last one to go through puberty i was the smallest one in my

00:29:56.460 group i was fast as fuck super athletic but i was tiny and skinny right and um i i remember being

00:30:03.420 insecure i remember taking the long way to get into the freshman locker room so the seniors

00:30:07.460 didn't give me the freshman beat down right um but that feeling went away when i got older and

00:30:13.380 got muscles and i've completely forgotten about it because i've i'm like this is this is the this

00:30:18.500 is me i've grown into this right so i'm just so you feel like you are what you look like right

00:30:24.620 yes yeah and i think i haven't gotten there yet man i'm still like really really yeah seriously

00:30:29.400 that's crazy like um like random examples of like why drugs were like my choice is because i never

00:30:37.820 felt like i was enough you know what i mean so like you know where do you think that comes from

00:30:42.700 that wasn't from your dad maybe not giving you the encouragement you needed i don't think it

00:30:46.640 was encouragement i think it was just like like my dad looking at me and be like man i'm i'm so

00:30:51.200 proud of you like my dad told me he loved me and his actions reflected that but there was something

00:30:56.620 about like my dad telling me like he's proud of me because during my whole nfl career like it

00:31:00.660 wasn't just sports because my dad's you know hardcore christian as as am i and and you know

00:31:06.940 i wouldn't say i'm not gonna say hardcore i'll recant that i'd do my best you know what i mean

00:31:12.860 i'm sitting here talking about dildos and cocaine and listen i've lived that i've lived that life

00:31:20.340 and so anyway to to get back onto the topic my dad has always been very philanthropic and

00:31:25.320 you know he's never had a ton of money we grew up in Terre Haute Indiana he's always provided for

00:31:30.280 his family but we didn't have much but what he had he gave away all the time like his time or

00:31:36.000 his finances and so I had the idea I'm like dude I've already won a Super Bowl like I'm still

00:31:40.520 getting this and like and this is happening subconsciously I'm sure because it was at that

00:31:44.040 point I'm like I'm going to become the most philanthropic guy in the National Football League

00:31:47.720 because I know my dad will love that you know like I've always been good at sports and I've

00:31:51.080 never gotten it but I won a Super Bowl I didn't get it now what else do I need to do so I'm like

00:31:54.500 trying to jump through these hoops of trying to get my dad's validation and i'm like running ragged

00:32:01.060 man you know like i'm i'm trying to do everything i can you don't take this the wrong way but why

00:32:04.920 you give a fuck bro dude why do all little boys really care that much but you're not a little boy

00:32:10.340 anymore it's funny i mean obviously so like but like it's funny when he says that though i want

00:32:15.800 to drop this in really quick i when you say that and i haven't thought about this since i was a

00:32:20.480 fucking kid probably still to this day i don't know that there's a better feeling in my life

00:32:27.240 than having my dad say i'm really proud of you for what you did here yeah like the hands down

00:32:32.980 one of the most important moments of your life as a kid and still to this day to this day literally

00:32:41.560 when i get on the phone with him he says hey i saw what you did in this situation or that situation

00:32:45.600 this business move or that and i'm proud of you for that it's still i think it's just like an

00:32:51.160 innate thing as a boy you feel like that yeah oh yeah i mean i feel complete now um but after

00:32:57.600 retiring from the nfl and then getting into to being an entrepreneur and a public speaker and

00:33:02.120 doing tv and you know espn and have my own show and all this stuff i was i still didn't get it

00:33:08.120 and so it drove me like dark man like super dark and it wasn't like i didn't know that that's what

00:33:14.120 it took i just remember like winning the super bowl 47 miles from my hometown like the confetti's

00:33:19.260 coming down my mom's crying my grandma's there i'm holding my son al roker is interviewing me like

00:33:25.560 you know they said at halftime granted remember where i'm at on the totem pole at halftime al

00:33:29.960 michael said if we're voting for dylan knows he's a giant fan if we're voting for an mvp at halftime

00:33:36.540 i've never said this but it would be the punter steve weatherford so like in my mind thank you

00:33:40.560 thank you damn i'm thinking in my in my mind like it's never gonna get better than this because i've

00:33:45.460 got all these people telling me how great i am right i go to the i go to the super bowl post

00:33:50.300 like the post super bowl party private just the team kenny chesney's up there playing for like a

00:33:54.720 crowd of like 150 people my mom's there everybody's there that i love that i care about we're all

00:34:00.440 celebrating my family doesn't really drink so i'm having a drink and i always told my wife i'm like

00:34:05.160 if i ever win a super bowl i'm gonna get so loaded i'm gonna piss the bed it's gonna be

00:34:10.300 you know what i mean and i remember drinking that first he's a dog and i remember finishing

00:34:18.020 my first beer my wife never encourages me to drink because i was you've never had a larger

00:34:22.940 savage on and i'm not talking about physically you've never had you've never had somebody that

00:34:27.000 went harder in college than what i went in college really like dude yeah google me you know what i

00:34:33.120 wait where'd you go to school university of illinois so that's where like greek life and

00:34:37.920 fraternity started so so what happened you drank the beer so i drank the beer and and thank you

00:34:43.340 for bringing me back on track he's good oh he's great he's i host the show it's called impulsive

00:34:47.580 so my wife never encourages me to have more and she's like do you want me to get you another

00:34:55.520 drink because she know i made that declaration i'm pissing the bed tonight you know what i mean

00:34:59.480 and and she said you want me to get and i remember looking at her and thinking to myself like i just

00:35:05.580 felt like i was just getting hugged on the inside i was so happy i was like i don't want to feel any

00:35:10.180 different you know and so i had like another 30 minutes with my family they were we shut the thing

00:35:14.480 down at like 2 30 and in the nfl you can't have women in your in your room it doesn't matter if

00:35:20.660 you won the super bowl because if somebody gets raped or whatever so anyway my wife couldn't sleep

00:35:24.700 with me in my hotel room that night after the sorry sorry after the super bowl i could have

00:35:30.040 gone back to her hotel room but it's just it's an nfl policy yeah you can't get on the room

00:35:35.500 like security guards like why did you sleep not with your wife i was exhausted dude i know that

00:35:40.880 just like my kids are there dude i'm not gonna smack hams tonight okay you know yeah that happened

00:35:45.760 after i'm gonna go to bed a champion yeah yeah see i thought i thought for sure i go i'm gonna

00:35:49.660 I get fucking shit face and I'm fucking all night.

00:35:52.440 Nope.

00:35:52.800 Nope.

00:35:53.020 Hit the sack.

00:35:54.040 Gone.

00:35:54.540 Take a drink.

00:35:55.080 I'm out.

00:35:55.600 Right.

00:35:56.060 Right.

00:35:56.460 Save that for Paris.

00:35:57.660 Ah.

00:35:58.160 So I get back to my hotel room.

00:36:01.780 Nobody's there.

00:36:02.520 All my teammates are out, you know, just getting it in.

00:36:04.920 And I remember walking into my hotel room in downtown Indianapolis and walking through my hotel up to the glass window and looking down and seeing everybody down there like partying and just.

00:36:15.980 And then I remember taking like a deep breath.

00:36:18.160 and then like as soon as i exhale i thought to myself i'm like when i'm by myself like this is

00:36:24.020 the first moment i've been by myself and i thought to myself i better not piss i'm saving it for the

00:36:29.780 bed no it was i dude only had a beer i think to myself like i'm like this is it you know what i

00:36:37.140 mean like this is like i i feel like i should feel different i'm champion of the world i just

00:36:41.360 set a super bowl record like i just did something nobody's ever done before and it was me like it

00:36:46.080 was i did it like i did it with my team but i'm you know my record so i'm thinking to myself like

00:36:50.660 this is it and it was at that point that i i realized that i was chasing something that was

00:36:55.500 outside of myself and it was at that point like i'm giving all of my power away all of my power

00:37:00.720 for achievement all of my power for happiness all of my you know my ability for fulfillment

00:37:05.700 because i'm hanging my happiness or my validation outside of myself somebody else controls that

00:37:11.160 like my dad or, you know, having a million dollars or whatever the case is. Like you keep

00:37:16.380 placing that, like, I'll be happy when, and it's, it's the, it's backwards, man. It's like,

00:37:22.680 you know what, decide that you're happy now and continue to improve your life every single day.

00:37:27.320 And don't ever let something or someone outside of yourself be able to control how you feel about

00:37:33.180 yourself. So like, that's the season that I'm in. And I just don't, I don't hear, and I don't see

00:37:38.560 men that are like ultra achieving alphas have these conversations. And so I'm inspired to do

00:37:45.240 something that has crippled me in my life, but I've been able to achieve because of it. So it's

00:37:50.060 a really, I know there's a lot of ultra high achievers out there that have achieved greatness

00:37:55.720 through insecurities. And, and I want them to be able to continue to do that, but not have to have

00:38:01.300 like the hate machine of like, I'm not good enough to continue to work the ways required to achieve.

00:38:06.540 if that makes sense of course that's the secret sauce we've been taught we've been talking a

00:38:10.640 little bit about that kind of attitude um lately and i think that the new breed of business and

00:38:18.180 also lifestyle influencer is going to show a little bit more of the of the undercarriage of

00:38:24.220 what it takes to be the best or to be good or to achieve and and what failures those include and

00:38:29.860 what tribulations that included and all of the dirty work that went into it and like charlie

00:38:36.180 was saying he about his failures he was talking about uh you know something along the lines of

00:38:42.000 failures telling more of a story than than successes do you know and so like all these

00:38:46.320 ultra high achievers you talk about that are you know on their lamborghini or you know whether it

00:38:51.400 be out here in my garage or whatever you know like i think there's more to the story there's

00:38:57.120 more impactful parts of the story that don't have those same success notes to it that are more

00:39:03.000 beneficial are you finding that through like just being grateful and enjoying the present moment

00:39:09.520 instead of putting so much emphasis on like an end result is that what you're talking about or

00:39:15.520 what i tried that on for a while because like i said like i've been like on this journey like

00:39:20.540 hardcore for for like two years of really trying to identify what serves me in my life like what

00:39:26.980 character traits do I have right now that serve me and which ones are holding me back and and so

00:39:32.340 to your ask me your complete questioning because I want to make sure I address it correctly is it

00:39:36.640 is something like when you when you were in the hotel room looking down right like you realized

00:39:41.900 you got to this moment and it still wasn't giving you what you were looking for so are you now

00:39:47.160 living a life where you're waking up just grateful every day instead of no I still have crap days

00:39:53.460 man of course we all do but what's i guess what's the mentality that you've discovered now

00:39:58.320 that's different from your pursuit when you go on holiday there is no finer achievement

00:40:04.100 than doing absolutely nothing nothing on the beach nothing by the pool walking kind of nowhere

00:40:11.480 and chatting about nothing as an expedia member you can save up to 30 when you add a hotel to

00:40:18.520 your flight so you can have a bit more money to go out there with great ambition to do absolutely

00:40:25.960 nothing Expedia made to travel no I get excited and you know what I and I actually just had this

00:40:34.960 conversation with with my boy LJ the the guy that really kind of introduced all of us today

00:40:39.980 shout out LJ he's right there he's the man yeah man um get him nice and tight in the face so I had

00:40:46.700 I had a conversation with him about what, like, when you boil it all down, take all of talent, gift, race, religion, socioeconomic status, like, what separates people that start a certain place and end up someplace drastically more great than where they started?

00:41:04.500 And it's the decision making of living your life like a pro.

00:41:09.600 And what I mean by I say that is, like, we all have commitments in our life.

00:41:13.480 and what if we the things that we said that we want to do in our life regardless if that's you

00:41:20.540 know blow up your youtube or start a you know online side hustle business or get married or

00:41:26.140 get in shape what if we viewed all the things that we want to do in our life as commitments

00:41:30.700 instead of like ideas like well i wake up in the morning i'm committed to working out because i

00:41:36.140 know at x amount of time that's when i have it budgeted into my schedule so the difference

00:41:40.840 between ultra high achievers and people that maybe have talent and never do anything or people that

00:41:45.980 just don't ever improve their their life at all during the time that we have on this earth is

00:41:51.100 people that make decisions based upon their commitments not their feelings because it's

00:41:56.020 easy to wake up in the morning and be like man i don't feel like doing a podcast with this punter

00:42:01.180 that's hey that's awesome i love that i love that say it one more time but you gave me your word

00:42:06.060 like hey we're going to do a podcast today so you honored your commitment you just did a podcast

00:42:09.840 with your mom before we got on here like i'm sure you're pretty fatigued but you're committed to

00:42:14.580 doing it and that's the difference between pros and amateurs so i'll say it again pros make

00:42:18.840 decisions based upon commitments amateurs make decisions based upon their feelings i yo that is

00:42:24.520 that might be the most important thing you've said this far i'm sure we're gonna get a lot

00:42:27.440 more golden nuggets but that is so because i i i it's an image and memory seared into my brain

00:42:34.500 that like always just gets me and i i know when it's happening every time is when it's 8 a.m and

00:42:40.340 my alarm goes off and i go fuck i am so tired i would love another hour hour and a half and because

00:42:48.620 i've committed to whatever it is an audition a workout um a vlog or post an whatever it is

00:42:54.980 every single day you can't you can't you gotta honor your commitment and and ignore how you may

00:43:02.020 be feeling and i think i think again you're saying a lot of things and i'm trying to dissect the

00:43:10.560 stuff that i can apply to my life like forever right and i love that it's fun it's funny it's

00:43:15.280 funny too because i think it's so powerful because it makes decision making like like mike for guys

00:43:19.740 like you and me or like lj who have had you know dark struggles that nobody knew about for a long

00:43:24.940 time it makes this the decision making process and and you know logan and spencer i don't know

00:43:30.320 your history with addictions or things that you, you take part in that you, you know, you know,

00:43:34.460 don't serve you, but it's like your guilty pressure, making decisions based upon your

00:43:39.040 commitments based instead of on your feelings makes life so much easier because you're filtering

00:43:43.820 processes. Like, am I committed to doing this? Am I committed to doing this line of cocaine?

00:43:48.480 Am I committed? No, like I'm committed to being sober. I'm committed to this. I'm committed to

00:43:52.780 that. So like, you know, I'm on the road, let's say I'm playing the 49ers and you know, the bus

00:43:58.200 doesn't leave for three hours and i'm leaving a team meeting and this smoking hot chick comes up

00:44:03.140 and she's got a friend i mean if i'm making a decision like let's be real dude play that dog

00:44:09.460 sound fx again like you can go i'll wait for it like you gotta do it like there you go i'm a dog

00:44:15.680 and i'm a man like if i'm making decisions based upon my feelings dude i'm gonna have a story to

00:44:22.780 tell yeah you know what i mean but i made a commitment to a woman 12 years ago and i'm

00:44:29.260 committed to it you know so like take that same level of like i'm sure you guys imagine when you

00:44:34.120 get married you're going to stay faithful to your wife like that's your plan i don't think i am do

00:44:38.340 it i'm just kidding i love you baby he loves to rock the boat doesn't i love shake that shit hey

00:44:43.260 i love you baby this is my future wife like you're gonna watch this back i love you i mean it when

00:44:48.520 But that commitment, what if we applied that same level of commitment that we have to like our vision of marriage?

00:44:54.780 What if we applied that to like getting up at 5 a.m. or 8 a.m. or 10 a.m., whatever it is you said you were going to do, like be a man of your word.

00:45:02.880 And it's so much easier to be a man of integrity and honor and accountability if that's the filtering process of your decision making.

00:45:10.260 And structured.

00:45:11.140 so like i think i think the word that most people go to when they have this conversation is when you

00:45:15.620 look at people like zuckerberg jobs when you you talk about the highest absolute highest level of

00:45:21.420 overachievers in this world they are up at a lot of these guys are up at the same exact time every

00:45:26.900 day they have the same exact let me change your language they're not high achievers they're or

00:45:31.960 they're not uh what did you call them overachievers they're not yeah they're not overachievers because

00:45:36.720 that's well within the realm of possibility because they did it so they're not overachieving

00:45:41.340 ultra achievers i guess yeah dude they're just fulfilling their destiny yeah like mom how great

00:45:46.220 is it for you to sit here and like look at what your son has created doing something that he loves

00:45:50.320 impacting people at the level that he does amazing it's amazing right he's but he's capable of it

00:45:57.360 you know so that should make you like ultra proud because he's fulfilling his destiny and he's got

00:46:03.680 a whole lot more in the tank i have a whole lot more in the tank spencer's got more left in the

00:46:07.460 tank every single person mike you too i'm not thank you so because logan would say logan would

00:46:12.380 say otherwise he says you're 34 you're done i'm not i'm not gonna forget you but you know what i

00:46:18.040 mean falling out on the floor what's an overachiever overachiever based upon somebody

00:46:22.440 else's self-limiting belief that they placed on you i'm from terra hoda indiana it's like the meth

00:46:26.940 capital of the world like think about that for a minute like per cap there's so much drugs there

00:46:32.240 Over 50% of my high school is on free or reduced lunches.

00:46:35.700 I'm not an overachiever.

00:46:37.620 I'm fulfilling my destiny.

00:46:38.980 So do you think people who truly fulfill their destiny,

00:46:44.180 like how important is it to not stop and not settle?

00:46:47.460 Because there's always that comfortability that sets in at some point,

00:46:51.280 at some point where that idea of I made it.

00:46:54.720 Have you cut that out of your vocabulary of I've made it?

00:46:57.780 And you're always rising up and taking advantage of what you're given.

00:47:03.240 It's a good, Spencer asks good questions.

00:47:05.020 Oh, he's incredible at that question.

00:47:06.640 I just wish you would have ran a faster Ironman.

00:47:09.080 That's the, you're right, but like, damn.

00:47:10.940 But you'll get it because you ran an Ironman.

00:47:12.860 Like you understand like requirement and constantly pushing yourself

00:47:21.040 because you don't know what time you're going to need to do in your training

00:47:24.760 in order to beat that goal.

00:47:27.240 Right.

00:47:27.320 you know so when you were talking mike and you were like you know well people can do this i think

00:47:32.720 that the first thing for like people that that that are listening to this are like okay cool i

00:47:36.780 want to make decisions based upon my commitments not my feelings you know screw my feelings right

00:47:41.520 yeah well where do they start like you got to get clear on what it is you want to do what you want

00:47:45.300 like for me one of my goals and it's stupid but i want to be able to do the three position splits

00:47:50.800 within eight weeks so that's like a silly goal that i have started lp about like i've just started

00:47:56.580 and i know you're wicked flexible yeah but you're a punter so don't you already have like at least

00:48:00.740 yeah my right leg's wicked flexible like i can get that up over my head but then i have to do

00:48:05.560 three positions so it has to be right out left out and then how you're doing the middle how you

00:48:09.100 training for the middle one's tough man tough is an understatement that one's crazy can i do it in

00:48:14.140 eight weeks i'm pretty like i've heard you can i've heard you can yeah i think you know i talked

00:48:18.480 to about um help it yes juji mufu yeah yeah i love this guy is he just listen to like

00:48:26.480 yeah he is incredible juji fucking mufu i love this kid he's a really i haven't he's not a kid

00:48:32.440 but i have he's awesome he seems really oh this guy's not he's the one who does the he does the

00:48:38.100 splits with like barbells athletic i don't know if he can play sports he's hilarious um i love

00:48:44.000 his videos i'm trying like fire i feel like this is one of he wears like horse heads and does like

00:48:49.780 crazy obstacle courses and he make he makes like working out fun and lights things on fire i just

00:48:54.720 want to say if i did this shit like youtube would ban me forever yeah why you can't do i can't do

00:48:59.620 anything now anything that's easily replicatable yeah that's like lighting shit on fire but yeah

00:49:05.060 this dude uh so you've been talking to him about how to the only reason it interests me is because

00:49:09.460 i'd also like he's nuts bro and he's a huge and he's really powerful so like i'm big and strong

00:49:18.000 probably not as strong as him but i'm i can i still have you know probably 37 38 inch vertical

00:49:22.700 you know i can still broad jump run a 40 really fast i'm still in really good shape i feel great

00:49:26.520 um but my point of of you know kind of like declaring my next goal is it's not nearly as

00:49:33.860 hard to achieve goals now than what it was when i was a kid because i wanted to learn how to

00:49:38.220 to build muscle muscle and fitness was the only place where you could get consumable content for

00:49:43.860 like workouts and stuff like that so i would just follow around the biggest guy in the gym and when

00:49:47.680 he wasn't looking i would do what he would do it's just mock you know what i mean but it's never

00:49:51.960 been easier than in the history of the world to get great at something i mean figure it out what

00:49:58.580 it is that you want to get good at because i guarantee if you go to social media there's

00:50:02.380 going to be an expert and he's going to have a plan that you can use nobody has excuses and it's

00:50:07.320 not like you know juju made me like some uh super special flexibility plan he sells a program you

00:50:14.460 know what i mean and i knew that that was the the place to go get it so if that's my plan and i'm

00:50:20.080 operating based upon my commitments i'm gonna do all of those workouts the way that he instructs

00:50:25.100 me to do it and i'm gonna achieve my goal and then there's you know what i mean yeah are you

00:50:29.340 athletic i am yeah i was a decathlete in college too okay so i gotta ask especially for a white

00:50:33.680 kid what made you mean dude he dropped he drops balls inside the five yard line bro what the hell

00:50:38.020 what the hell do you think he is i mean i was gonna ask like why are you not a quarterback or

00:50:42.820 middle linebacker or fullback like you're fucking huge bro i didn't get big until like i'm pretty

00:50:47.440 much like i was in the pros you know i was what i graduated high school i don't in the 200s but i

00:50:54.360 wasn't stacked i was 6'3 so it's just like athletic build and then in college i wasn't you know i

00:51:00.080 continued to work and work and work but this is like and you you were punting in college yeah

00:51:04.440 what is a what is a a punter's practice look like same as the rest of the 15 minutes are you joking

00:51:10.040 no i'm serious like if you if you could because i i think kicking or punting a football

00:51:17.460 being a golfer or being a closer in baseball like no offense it's awesome like your job my son

00:51:24.280 thinks that you're like the coolest guy ever and i think you're awesome too what's his name but you

00:51:28.280 work really really really hard way harder than what people give you credit for because i kick

00:51:33.980 out maybe 10 of the content maybe 20 of the content that you do and i know how much is involved in

00:51:39.840 that and i also know how much work is involved in being a punter or a golfer or a pitcher and they

00:51:46.780 make crazy money and it's not a huge requirement you have to be really really your your mental

00:51:54.920 condition is so much more important than your physical conditioning i was just i was a a gym

00:52:01.520 rat that played football not like a football player that because i dude when i was in high

00:52:05.780 school i was a soccer player my whole life and it wasn't until the football coach came to the

00:52:09.580 soccer field was like hey we need a kicker and we got kegs right calm down to the field and those

00:52:14.400 were the in high school like football players hell they were what you're telling me i can be on the

00:52:18.600 team and i get to wear a i remember i remember friday yeah i thought it was the coolest guy

00:52:24.480 ever so here i am the skinniest kid in the school pretty much but i'm on the varsity football team

00:52:28.660 kicking field goals and they call me the leg you know what i mean why didn't you that's awesome

00:52:32.560 why did you kick field goals why like when did you make the switch to just be a punter

00:52:36.220 it wasn't until i got in the pros so uh in high school i actually received a scholarship because

00:52:41.220 i had six field goals over 50 yards and a 61 yard oh my god yeah dude isn't that like what's

00:52:48.420 the longest uh it's like what 68 now i think in high school it's like 70 or something that far

00:52:53.840 damn wow kicking okay so what happened so i got a lot of scholarships for kicking field goals yeah

00:52:59.620 and so when i got on campus to the university of illinois it was the school that was closest to

00:53:03.460 home that was going to let me play football and run track also because i was pretty good at track

00:53:07.160 what do you run the hundred no i did the decathlon so i think you'd be good at it man you're a good

00:53:13.060 athlete thanks man so like maybe throwing the javelin the discus the shop oh damn like those

00:53:18.180 weren't events that like just an athlete can step in and be good like hurdles 100 400 high jump long

00:53:25.140 jump you can just be a good athlete and it will come pretty quickly but there's a lot of technique

00:53:29.180 and discus javelin pole yeah and then to finish it off and and i'm like way bigger than a normal

00:53:35.660 like pole vault yeah i snapped a couple poles which is i was pretty but to finish it all off

00:53:41.000 the 10th event is 1500 meters and those like those track guys that run the decathlon they're

00:53:45.520 like 155 pounds spencers how much do you weigh probably 163 about a buck 55 i'm probably buck

00:53:53.760 $50 right now, $1.52.

00:53:55.640 Yeah, they're about, Spencer, what are you,

00:53:57.700 5'8", 5'9"? 5'10".

00:53:59.940 5'10"? Yeah.

00:54:01.760 I'm sitting down.

00:54:03.600 Everybody laughing over there? We're sitting down.

00:54:05.920 Hey, is that funny?

00:54:07.860 You're all shorter than me, so shut up.

00:54:10.280 Did you get shit from the football team?

00:54:11.900 From the football players? Like, at any point

00:54:13.840 in your career?

00:54:15.460 Oh, yeah, yeah. For, like, walking on the field for 15 minutes

00:54:17.840 and then, like, still getting a Super Bowl trophy?

00:54:19.680 You know what? They, like, no, not in the pros

00:54:21.840 because I had earned so much street cred as fuck yeah well I earned a lot of street you were

00:54:27.340 you weren't talking to getting shit from the team no I never never hammered me well I want to ask

00:54:33.480 you this I'm a birds fan okay so you probably have a little bit less respect for me now been

00:54:37.980 a birds fan I don't even like football you're like I don't care now I don't you didn't you

00:54:42.580 didn't you didn't punt to Deshaun Jackson did you no that was Matt Dodge oh god thank god dude yeah

00:54:47.740 That was Matt Dodge.

00:54:48.440 That was actually the reason I went there because he did that.

00:54:52.100 And got shit can't.

00:54:53.360 They brought me in.

00:54:54.100 That was the most important viewing event of my life.

00:54:59.440 The miracle at the metal lands part two.

00:55:01.980 It was like 21 points in like four,

00:55:03.480 four minutes to Sean Jackson.

00:55:05.320 All you have to do.

00:55:06.640 Your only job in life is do not kick the ball to Deshaun fucking Jackson.

00:55:12.560 And this dude gets out,

00:55:13.940 kicks it all the way down,

00:55:14.940 downfield.

00:55:15.460 He fields it at what?

00:55:16.300 Like the five or 10.

00:55:17.300 runs 90 yards

00:55:19.580 back. I wasn't there. I watched that on

00:55:21.380 SportsCenter. That was one

00:55:23.420 of the most. Yeah, Dylan remembers that

00:55:25.500 one. Okay, here we go. So it's 31-31.

00:55:28.360 Oh, my God.

00:55:30.000 This quality is sick.

00:55:31.680 This is like 2-20.

00:55:33.760 Oh, he's going

00:55:35.820 back. Look at him. Great tackle.

00:55:37.620 Juke, juke, juke. Jets.

00:55:39.540 And now I'm screaming. I'm screaming.

00:55:41.620 Oh, my God. Was this in the playoffs?

00:55:43.180 No, it was like the game. If they would have

00:55:45.680 if he wouldn't have returned that i think the giants would have gone to the playoffs right

00:55:48.760 well i would have gone to overtime because there's 30 yes but yeah but they would have won the game

00:55:53.260 they would have gone to the play it was the end of the season yeah and they blew 21 points in like

00:55:57.340 the last three and a half because it was the it was the vick vick deshaun jackson connection where

00:56:02.200 they he would just throw 90 yard bombs crazy he was so impressive and i take what nfl guys do you

00:56:08.660 know me yeah personally obj i was gonna say i thought i thought you connected with him dude

00:56:13.980 That's my guy, man.

00:56:15.120 Really?

00:56:15.440 I love him.

00:56:15.900 Oh, he's dope, bro.

00:56:16.760 He's fucking awesome.

00:56:18.040 Yeah.

00:56:18.320 Tell you a secret.

00:56:19.360 Go out to any club, any night of the week, anywhere in the United States, he'll be there.

00:56:23.360 Garen fucking team.

00:56:24.640 Just stop in any club, anywhere in the fucking United States.

00:56:27.900 He's going to Cleveland.

00:56:29.260 And Jake and I are from Cleveland.

00:56:31.040 And we're boys with MGK.

00:56:32.440 So we're all going to go for the first game.

00:56:34.420 That'll be cool, man.

00:56:35.080 That's going to do.

00:56:35.760 That's going to breathe some life into that football program.

00:56:38.940 I hope so, bro.

00:56:39.540 That'd be awesome.

00:56:40.020 We were actually talking about that on our way here.

00:56:42.240 and i don't really talk football because i was like i don't really love it that much i know so

00:56:45.600 much about it but it's it's just i i don't know i don't find it that interesting anymore but i do

00:56:52.080 have opinions on on this situation and that squad's gonna put up some points browns yeah i mean because

00:56:59.000 you got to think about it juice landry is probably fifth or sixth wide receiver in the game odell's

00:57:03.360 one or two antonio brown would be wherever he's not mayfield's on the come as long as baker mayfield

00:57:08.720 can like i don't know what his ability is to pass over 30 yards but if it's decent and they can

00:57:13.900 stretch that defense man that running back he's good i mean he was throwing bombs at oklahoma

00:57:18.220 i mean yeah you know better i don't how'd you take this picture a lot of who took this picture

00:57:23.020 you put a gopro in your mouth actually that was nico that was nico wasn't it

00:57:27.920 my camera guy nico did that and i had to like okay so he's standing on my weight bench right

00:57:33.340 he's standing up and i had to like lean back and then move my neck to this move my neck to the

00:57:38.360 side like this i wasn't like draped around your neck yes he was and then he put the camera right

00:57:42.600 am i remembering that correctly

00:57:43.800 damn this is cute as fuck that's that's that's dope we never we never wait that's how that's

00:57:53.340 we never do shit like that dude but but it doesn't work unless you lean back into nico and then he

00:57:59.680 could really light your abs up like you did for mine is the goal to help people visualize what it

00:58:04.160 would it could be like that's what i get out of that i'm like somebody else did it on instagram

00:58:08.360 and i thought it looks cool why did you ever beat the shit out of the kicker like what's the

00:58:12.700 difference between a kicker and punter in the locker room usually smaller do you ever just beat

00:58:16.480 them up for no reason no i always had kickers that were older than me until actually i think

00:58:21.480 pretty much my whole career my kicker was was older than me no no beef no beef no would you

00:58:26.620 want to beat it's just like now i mean he only practices for 15 minutes also so i've had kickers

00:58:31.180 that i didn't like but i got along great with them because i had to like that dude they're in your

00:58:36.420 tribe whether you want them to be or not the kicker punter and snapper spend a lot of time

00:58:39.700 together because we only have one skill you can't do it all day what's it what's it like running out

00:58:45.840 onto the field ah it's the coolest feeling it is the coolest feeling i miss that if i say i miss

00:58:51.480 two things i miss the brotherhood of i mean guys from all different religions and races and ages

00:58:58.400 and you know so many different stories no offense let me stop you here real quick when you say

00:59:02.700 brotherhood because like again i i played football almost almost went to college for it but um when

00:59:08.660 did you have time to bond with the teammates just like training camp like when you go through things

00:59:12.920 that suck you end up building a bond with people that go through things that suck with you sounds

00:59:18.480 like basic training that's why like marines and military are like they're banded for life because

00:59:23.740 they went through something that just sucked so bad it doesn't even have to be combat experience

00:59:27.100 But are you doing the sprints with them?

00:59:28.660 Are you doing the conditioning with them?

00:59:30.060 Oh, really?

00:59:30.880 Why?

00:59:31.340 I did all that stuff.

00:59:32.180 Why did you do that?

00:59:32.740 Well, Tom Coughlin was old school and he wanted us to,

00:59:35.060 but I had coaches.

00:59:35.920 I played for Jack Del Rio, Sean Payton, Herm Edwards, Rex Ryan.

00:59:40.180 I've got some good stories from Rex Ryan.

00:59:41.540 How could you not?

00:59:42.440 The guy who used to drink beers with us in the cold tub afterwards,

00:59:45.180 but he'd be sitting in the hot tub, like just a total wreck.

00:59:47.820 He's like the uncle that used to buy you beer,

00:59:50.900 but your mom doesn't want you hanging out with him.

00:59:52.640 But he was my head coach.

00:59:53.820 100%.

00:59:54.300 The coolest coach, man.

00:59:55.760 and we did the years that i was there we were good that we were we had some stacked teams

00:59:59.840 it was uh 2009 and 10 we went to afc championship two years in a row mark sanchez was a quarterback

01:00:05.640 i mean i mark's a great dude but he's not like a franchise quarterback and he took us to the

01:00:10.380 afc championship game two years in a row he went to the birds after the giants yeah he was there

01:00:14.720 for a little bit right yeah i think he's still bouncing around you know i was gonna ask you

01:00:18.640 before just because it's uh it's actionable and i people ask the question how when did you uh

01:00:24.220 when'd you get clean and how how long ago was it like full-on yeah shoot probably

01:00:28.940 probably about 14 months ago i mean i was always high functioning so like if i ever

01:00:35.480 ate up pain pills there was about a year and a half of my life where i was eating probably 50

01:00:41.240 or 60 milligrams of of um of oxy yep oxycon and um and then i got to the point where i actually

01:00:48.200 like physically needed them if i had to go do a public appearance or an autograph signing or

01:00:53.260 full-on addiction i was doing i was doing at my worst i was doing 480s a day dude yeah that dude

01:00:58.240 that's like i was functioning like my wife didn't know like you know what i mean like it was total

01:01:03.440 like in the dark nobody really knew um but even to the point where like it wasn't like i would

01:01:08.720 get the shakes or anything because i had a system i would wake up i would eat a pill and then around

01:01:12.340 two o'clock i know i'd need another you know i mean so i was honest i had it for the most part

01:01:17.040 in control and functioning but if i had to go speak somewhere or like be in a public place

01:01:21.080 because i i would always have the anxiety like even if it's like third grade kids like i'm not

01:01:25.740 gonna be enough these kids are like i'm not gonna you know what i mean like how dude that's a

01:01:29.200 and that's bro like like fuck those kids bro to be honest like you're in third grade but that's

01:01:33.700 like that that was like where my mind was so what did so what did it so what did it for you like

01:01:39.280 what was the final how did you get clean like what was your process um i just did it on my own

01:01:44.440 it took about eight days and it was like a movie man what did you just went to you went to detox

01:01:49.020 no i am at home it was the last time that the last time i had a pill was um christmas eve 2016

01:01:55.480 what was the reason for it why'd you why'd you get clean because my wife was like really you

01:02:00.260 know we came to the point where like there was even the the periods of eating those pills up

01:02:05.280 like i it didn't make me feel happy anymore it just made me feel normal yep and so there were

01:02:09.300 no periods of happiness and my wife started to get involved and get really um concerned with me

01:02:15.700 and if it wasn't for for my wife and for my kids like i probably would have just kept going down

01:02:19.740 that slope and and you're you're completely clean and sober now so that's so that's one of the one

01:02:26.700 thing i mean i'll have drinks but i've never had like an alcohol so that's where that's a weird

01:02:30.560 place where i get screwed up sometimes too because i've like uh unintentionally kind of become

01:02:36.160 the face of life after addiction because mine consumed my entire life for 10 years like i lived

01:02:41.860 in it for 10 years of oxys and heroin and crack and all that shit and after being clean for so

01:02:49.800 many years i've been able to go and have a few drinks now and not go back to the drugs slippery

01:02:54.300 slope it's so slippery but i also want people to know that i don't advocate it it's just the the

01:03:00.660 situation is as follows like everyone has their own path out mine looks how mine looks you know

01:03:07.280 but i do have a lot of really good learnings that i want to start to instill in people that are

01:03:11.080 struggling because they ask a lot but it is when are you gonna stop it is how do you how do you

01:03:16.260 not advocate well advocating though does that make no i don't so i don't i never mean to advocate it

01:03:22.920 that's why i've tried to but if you're promoting it no but that's what i'm saying that's why i've

01:03:27.020 tried to roll it back as much as possible i don't want to advocate it because by the way like take

01:03:31.180 the addiction out of it and take the slippery slope scenario out of it booze is just really

01:03:36.580 fucking bad for you it doesn't it fucks up your body it it it makes you do stupid shit it puts

01:03:42.820 you in horrible situations and it takes you down from being the best person you can be when you

01:03:47.420 so so what so depressive at the end of the day it's just a shit poison that you put in your body

01:03:52.000 so let me be the first to say it but when i go i go out and i have you quitting listen i go out

01:03:57.680 and i have a few drinks with people because just like drugs were it acts as somewhat of a crutch

01:04:03.340 or makes me a better life or whatever of course i do and i just control it and i do it once a week

01:04:08.680 whatever but the difference with me is i've been able to go out one day a week never did drugs

01:04:15.380 again and still i still don't advocate it but that said it's interesting to hear like how you

01:04:20.700 just did it completely on your own you know what i'm saying like without any help i mean it kind

01:04:25.060 of goes back to like obsession you know you just read because that's that's the one note i put by

01:04:29.440 the way too is because people ask me how i did a lot i say i just redirected the weapon yeah that

01:04:35.780 was pointed at drugs towards productive i think you talked about that i think you actually said

01:04:40.320 that on the the podcast with uh with charlie i thought that was good because i you know that

01:04:44.320 that obsession i just shifted it to self to productive shit yeah i've got a question one

01:04:48.620 challenge from mike i just got a challenge yeah i'm not gonna do it but go ahead all right respect

01:04:53.740 um so with being you know we're talking about that slippery slope and you're working on a big

01:05:04.260 project and like not to i don't mean to put you on the spot i know we're talking about it um

01:05:09.320 when people see that that don't have that same self-control as you yeah like do you think that

01:05:16.740 you could help people by going completely sober yeah i mean i think so but i think it's more

01:05:20.980 important just to make sure that i tell the story like just just to say like listen i never meant to

01:05:25.440 be a role model like take what you can from my life and and take the learnings that i learned

01:05:31.500 and the things that i took out of my you know addiction and apply them where you can but i like

01:05:36.200 to believe that everybody has their own path and for me it just hasn't been one of complete and

01:05:42.720 utter absence i go out for two hours a week maybe three i have a few drinks i come home i go to

01:05:48.720 sleep i wake up i do whatever i'm gonna do so it doesn't affect my life 99.9 percent of addicts

01:05:56.060 out there don't have that same ability and so yeah like would it be good for for people could i could

01:06:05.760 i better my story more and potentially be more impactful as a servant to others yes have i grown

01:06:11.880 to a point in my adult life where i feel like doing that right now no as of right now i'm just

01:06:16.500 having fun living my life within a legally morally and this this next word is going to be

01:06:24.160 whatever word i'm looking for next ethically ethically semi-acceptable way that's it so i

01:06:30.520 don't challenge yeah to not to go stop drinking to go 100 sober what would it take to do 30 days

01:06:36.200 i'm not advocating 30 days i do that all the time we'll do i'll do 30 days i'll go i'll go on it off

01:06:40.540 you know what i'm saying but i i just it's it's just not even a thing like so that said like

01:06:45.660 since it's not a thing that it should be easy to not do it but yeah i do a lot of networking at

01:06:49.620 clubs i do a lot of meeting people at clubs i do a lot of stuff and you know i have a few drinks

01:06:54.040 do i do i think it's the right thing maybe not will i address it yes you know i just

01:06:59.940 question for you because i was i've actually always wondered this with the amount of content

01:07:04.920 that you put out do you ever before you're about to put a piece of content out because i do this

01:07:11.100 like even now like before walking in here i'm thinking to myself i'm like and it's just it's

01:07:16.220 just that insecurity of like being enough and being liked you know it's i think it's like

01:07:21.500 a lot of people don't even realize how much they need other people's like acceptance or validation

01:07:28.560 hell yeah etc do you ever feel like subconscious you're thinking like how do i need to be in order

01:07:34.800 for people to like me like with a with a video or you go to a meeting with somebody that you

01:07:39.220 really admire and you want them to like you do you ever struggle with like reminding yourself

01:07:43.500 to just be yourself yeah all the time every day uh i'd say it's um i'm very close to shutting that

01:07:49.580 off unfortunately though with the social media shit like everything i do and my success my future

01:07:55.240 is indeed dictated by people liking me so it's like the key metric do you ever feel like if you're

01:08:04.700 you're every like full yourself maybe they won't like full of myself no like like fully yourself

01:08:09.880 oh like you no i got lucky bro i got lucky because i'm i'm fucking dope it's like i'm lit no i like

01:08:16.460 and that's what i was talking to lj before on our way up here i was like so what's he like off

01:08:20.700 camera you know like everybody knows what you're like on camera everybody knows what you're like

01:08:25.660 on camera everybody knows what you're like what that what that motherfucker say bro pretty much

01:08:29.420 he said like you're like a regular dude i know i hate it pretty much the exact same thing dude

01:08:34.580 which is encouraging me for me to invest time up here you know building a relationship with

01:08:39.520 you guys because like although this has been awesome like i'm i'm here to to to share a story

01:08:45.420 but to build a relationship because like that's i want to surround myself with well you're lucky

01:08:50.440 hungry as i am you're lucky because you're also a dope dude like you're likable people are going

01:08:54.980 to like you and they enjoy your content like some people aren't as lucky i.e james charles

01:08:59.260 bro sucks that you suck in real life and uh that didn't go well for you you know i mean no seriously

01:09:05.320 like he's young too we weren't all i mean when i was 21 years old i was what did james charles

01:09:11.400 no this was i mean we talked about in our last episode this this beauty guru um he's a makeup

01:09:17.980 artist got involved in some sort of thing where he like promoted his one of his really good his

01:09:23.200 mentor's uh competitor product and he hit on he's a gay dude he hit on straight dudes lost three

01:09:30.560 million subscribers in like three days huge story right it's it's it's in in this bubble so

01:09:36.040 everybody's finding out that he's like not authentic exactly yes exactly did you struggle

01:09:41.060 with that when people were accusing you of like not being who you really are with with the whole

01:09:45.820 controversy a couple months ago it was it it was actually sort of the opposite it was the opposite

01:09:52.960 everyone thought that the person that was on the vlogs

01:09:56.000 was me

01:09:56.540 and then when they meet me in real life

01:09:58.920 they're like I don't see what the problem is

01:10:01.340 I had this girl

01:10:02.740 I came over with

01:10:04.420 this guy De Niro

01:10:06.060 to pitch an app to me

01:10:08.160 and we sat down for 10 minutes

01:10:10.420 and she's like I don't

01:10:11.720 she goes

01:10:13.260 I don't see why people don't like you

01:10:16.160 you're just like a giant kid

01:10:17.200 and I'm like yeah

01:10:17.960 I'm not gonna lie I portray a little bit of a douche

01:10:21.080 I'm like

01:10:21.560 but like in real life i'm pretty chill but that's why the podcast has been super helpful

01:10:27.080 foreign because the people are like yo and we get to see him sit and be himself for yeah i'm like

01:10:33.060 yeah like i the youtube stuff is awesome because it catches my attention but then listening to the

01:10:37.500 podcast and hearing depth of opinions yeah of like real life stuff yeah i mean like i get all the

01:10:43.020 silliness dude i'm a freaking you've seen my answer i'm a savage i have five kids like i get

01:10:47.160 it in i'm silly too um but to see substance behind like the person that creates the content is

01:10:53.400 powerful because i know it doesn't it doesn't matter what you guys decide to get into it's

01:10:59.120 it'll be done the right way yep you know what i mean i got it i got a question about nfl money

01:11:03.820 yeah because google me i i i expect i will i saw some statistics that like almost 80 percent of

01:11:13.660 nfl athletes are broke never mind don't google me 79 man yeah that's 79 yeah after like what two

01:11:22.640 years uh after within two years of he comes with the good questions man um within two years of

01:11:29.320 retiring or your career being over 79 of of nfl athletes are broke or divorced that's within two

01:11:36.040 months crazy what's what what's minimum wage in the nfl is it 308 no it's probably 400 something

01:11:42.560 hundred thousand two fifty when i was so the majority of nfl players are making that kind

01:11:47.360 of money right the majority you could probably google it but i i would say the majority of nfl

01:11:52.340 guys because they have guys that are making 30 million dollars and some guys that are making

01:11:55.980 450 i would say on average you're probably looking a little bit more than that probably

01:12:00.920 800 000 okay on because there's not that many guys making a year a year okay so it says here

01:12:06.660 your net worth is two million yeah they're wrong they're always wrong i don't know where they get

01:12:11.720 those metrics they were right about me once and i'm not saying i'm worth more or less than that

01:12:15.820 it's just like they're all of those are wrong yeah if you ever want to know how much a pro

01:12:19.640 athlete makes in a in a season type in their name and type in spot rack s-p-o-t-r-a-c i'm not saying

01:12:26.920 that so you can look up mine because it's really not that impressive i think i made 15 million

01:12:31.040 dollars over 10 years yeah as a punter with no concussions and i feel healthy going and doing

01:12:36.760 fucking awesome job

01:12:37.680 I keep the football

01:12:38.520 for like stupid money

01:12:39.820 you know

01:12:40.240 bro you drop it

01:12:41.100 inside the five yard line

01:12:41.840 see it's

01:12:42.220 nobody drops them

01:12:43.120 inside the five

01:12:43.980 for me it's

01:12:44.620 it's easy

01:12:45.320 I don't try to cover

01:12:46.040 anything up

01:12:46.560 like people ask me

01:12:47.520 say yo my bank

01:12:49.400 account's overdrafted

01:12:50.280 right now

01:12:50.820 I owe $35

01:12:52.020 to the Bank of America

01:12:53.120 I currently

01:12:53.940 that's why I'm

01:12:54.720 that's a joke

01:12:55.280 it might be

01:12:56.280 Mike has a lot of money

01:12:56.880 in the bank

01:12:57.400 a little bit

01:12:58.320 but listen

01:12:58.780 you hustle

01:12:59.260 you don't do

01:13:00.560 the job

01:13:01.140 I hired you here to do

01:13:02.320 because you do

01:13:03.120 other things

01:13:03.620 as a god forsaken lie

01:13:04.880 pull up my scope of work

01:13:05.940 no

01:13:06.140 oh he said scope of work

01:13:07.960 absolutely

01:13:09.140 you don't do anything I say

01:13:11.500 and ask you to do you don't do anything

01:13:13.380 you're just talent now bro yeah because that's what

01:13:15.640 happened I switched I came on

01:13:17.380 I would say play the dog but you control the dog

01:13:19.360 he's full talent bro

01:13:21.600 and it's tough because like man's

01:13:23.660 got talent I can't hold him back like go

01:13:25.660 achieve your goals you can do it

01:13:27.080 you said I was 34 so I put all the goals in a bag

01:13:29.780 bro and just went to sleep

01:13:30.740 alright fine

01:13:32.300 alright fine

01:13:33.440 yeah so so what what do you did you learn anything in your experience with you know the the

01:13:41.860 compensation from the nfl that you would like to give to all these younger people getting into

01:13:48.920 sports like to better manage their money or to like how can they avoid that i mean it really

01:13:54.900 like at the end of the day it really comes down to like our primal need for acceptance like think

01:14:01.720 about like caveman you know like cavemen didn't live on their own they lived in like little

01:14:05.540 villages we needed to be loved and liked by other people it's no different than now like that's why

01:14:11.000 i do the things that i do on social media and we create the content that that we create because we

01:14:15.520 want to impact people but we want to be loved you know that's the celebrated you know that's one of

01:14:19.620 the most primal instincts in in human in human human person desire to be loved yeah and be

01:14:25.140 accepted and be heard right like to the core no matter who you are yeah and then people that

01:14:31.640 tell you like they don't care about other people's opinions of you they're dude they're in denial

01:14:35.440 like i and it would be important for me to like go back and read the comments of what people have

01:14:42.000 to say when this airs because it's important to me i can say that it's not important to me but

01:14:46.800 it's important i don't hang on every single comment how do you yeah how do you weed out like

01:14:51.000 just because there's such a there's such a culture of like bashing well i don't hang myself i don't

01:14:56.760 hang my identity on the penny on how do you decide like like yo this person said my head

01:15:02.720 looks stupid like this person said like well it's i mean i'm not looking at the comment section to

01:15:09.020 see if i'm loved but also looking at the comment section to see like what i'm talking about that

01:15:13.980 people enjoy so i can talk about it more no one's gonna say your head looks stupid you got a gray

01:15:19.020 head yeah i think you have a good looking head too i just the thing is the thing is that and by

01:15:23.860 the way do you ever think to the about this i brought this up many times in the past i am so

01:15:27.940 sorry for people who know what i'm about to say do you ever think to yourself holy shit wow how

01:15:33.800 blessed i am to have been born with a head because and i know don't jump sometimes you've got to find

01:15:39.360 gratitude in the smallest because think about it and i got in a lot of trouble for this because i

01:15:43.340 kept maybe not ahead but i always say arms and legs because if i'm like i don't want to go work

01:15:47.360 dude i got arms and legs but is that use them i always say that always but what if that was over

01:15:53.140 so much worse and you just had no like what if you were born dude and you had arms and legs the

01:15:58.180 reason why he apologized before he said it because it's because he knows it's a stupid

01:16:01.500 fucking question and he's just saying words and making noises and like it's over dude

01:16:06.620 everyone's born with that if you're not you're not a person all right that well that's another

01:16:10.520 question who makes that fucking decision has anyone ever been born without a head i don't

01:16:14.700 think so i don't think so you got a fact check you got laura lee tattooed on your peck i noticed

01:16:20.180 And I'm wondering if, is that cause you actually liked her apology video or what, what's the

01:16:24.860 like, and by the way, it went down in history as one of the worst ever.

01:16:27.940 Like what was this?

01:16:28.620 She faked her tears and, um, oh, you don't, so you don't know.

01:16:32.500 I analyzed and reanalyzed your video.

01:16:35.340 Which one?

01:16:35.680 Oh, here we go.

01:16:36.500 Which one?

01:16:36.860 It's juicy.

01:16:37.460 Your apology video.

01:16:38.740 Like why?

01:16:39.320 Why'd you do that?

01:16:39.960 Because I wanted to see if you were real.

01:16:41.620 You think I'm sorry?

01:16:42.860 Yeah.

01:16:43.080 You know, I'm an actor.

01:16:44.200 No, it was dude.

01:16:45.200 You can tell, man, you can look in somebody's eyes and see if there's like pain and remorse.

01:16:50.180 you know what i mean like so talk to me about that video it was the worst apology video of

01:16:54.680 all time that's what they're saying yeah and i'm not gonna lie not to like brag but my apology

01:16:58.660 video was fucking lit and you want to know why wait which one here's a surprise i was fucking

01:17:03.280 sorry hey james take notes um did you see the flat earth would you ever would you ever reach

01:17:09.400 out to somebody that's in a situation like that have oh yeah wait i'm sorry wait wait wait wait

01:17:14.680 are you saying someone who has to apologize no somebody that's made a massive mistake for no

01:17:19.900 other reason but like hey i've been there um you should tweet at james right now on the show and

01:17:25.140 just be like bro i've been there just keep your head up i think that'd be challenges today spencer

01:17:30.360 it takes a real man to to stand up here's why somebody that's not he just he just did it takes

01:17:37.980 a dog that's the truth all right let's go send the tweet logan he just did it on the last podcast

01:17:44.420 i actually had a teammate he's trying not to say like i'm a real man but i had a teammate that

01:17:48.900 they got in trouble for putting his hands on on a woman and tmz and i went on tmz not to

01:17:55.500 defend him or anybody all of his teammates nobody would comment on it because they didn't want to

01:18:01.560 be involved with the teammate that like beat so-and-so and i knew it wasn't i knew i was

01:18:06.140 going to get ripped up for doing it but i knew he needed somebody to speak on his like moral fiber

01:18:11.300 and that he is and i got lit up a little bit for it but like i still feel resolute in my decision

01:18:16.360 to do it really see i i don't i couldn't do that i couldn't get behind that and and with james

01:18:21.400 um he's he's shot on me in the past yeah i was gonna say what if that guy kicked you in the

01:18:27.520 balls really hard you're walking out of the locker room one day and he was just like

01:18:31.520 right in your fucking johnson bro that's great would you say like would you still be my instinct

01:18:37.580 would be like dude step on his throat but in a situation like this it's like dude how how much

01:18:45.020 of a man would you look like especially

01:18:46.600 that's what I'm saying dude

01:18:48.440 send the tweet Logan

01:18:50.600 send it dog

01:18:52.000 where is it at

01:18:55.300 that's an alpha move

01:18:57.080 by the way I'm not saying you have to do a move

01:18:58.900 what's the tweet though it's just like dude

01:19:00.700 like I've been there

01:19:02.080 just stay strong

01:19:04.880 like don't get down on yourself

01:19:06.360 don't overword it and just be like

01:19:08.400 yeah but now at this point bro I'm doing it for like

01:19:10.860 publicity and shit no you're not you're doing it because

01:19:12.880 it's the right thing to do

01:19:13.840 If I had his number, I'd reach out to him personally

01:19:18.080 and actually give him real-life advice versus being like, hey.

01:19:20.820 But no, he came out publicly.

01:19:23.140 But you know what you're doing is you are creating the story

01:19:27.240 that when you do that, people are going to feel a certain type of way about it

01:19:30.260 instead of making a decision on the man that you want to be.

01:19:33.760 You know what I mean?

01:19:34.180 Like the man that you want to be is a man that's going to help people

01:19:36.600 when they really need it versus public opinion

01:19:41.380 because i guarantee you people will gain gain respect for you and i know you want to do it

01:19:47.460 but you're thinking to yourself what if people think that i'm doing it just for publicity don't

01:19:51.840 let those people stop you from making a big a bold move i like other people i like what's going on

01:19:56.380 here i like what y'all are doing but i need to actually unfortunately think on this because

01:20:00.120 like this is not i think i will be pressured in like no no no no do it do it they tried to get

01:20:05.560 me to stop the only reason i want to have this conversation it's just a fucking challenge match

01:20:09.420 on your side what's going on with you two is to know that when people are at their worst and

01:20:14.440 that's actually how lj and i became really close friends you got a challenge dude i'm like 15 years

01:20:19.280 older than him but he had some troubles that i had those same troubles when i was younger how did

01:20:24.160 you guys get connected by the way his his mom i guess kind of like lightweight mentored me um in

01:20:29.560 media in new york she's a stallion her name's rosanna scotto and uh fox five good day new york

01:20:34.620 oh hell yeah now you know who she is wait what you do that's his mom yeah his mom's the coolest

01:20:40.800 lady of all time so anyway i was dear friends with her because she just really she she took

01:20:47.020 care of me every time i had like anything to say she would have me on a show it's the biggest

01:20:51.480 morning morning news show local in america like more people watch that than watch good morning

01:20:57.240 america she's a stallion so anyway i ended up reaching out to rosanna because i heard lj had

01:21:02.440 gotten into trouble through her through her right well it was in the newspaper like it was oh it was

01:21:07.440 like yeah yeah yeah well because she's she's a big deal so i reached out to him kind of like a similar

01:21:11.980 situation where like obviously it would be a bolder move because it will be public and the

01:21:17.500 guys kind of crapped on you in the past yeah however that's how a relationship with lj and

01:21:22.140 and i have started and like he knows he can always call me because i was there for him when nobody

01:21:27.940 else was there for him all of his friends left him everybody was crucifying him for being like

01:21:32.020 you know the entitled brat that you know screwing his life up but you know when you have somebody

01:21:37.640 that breathes life and possibility into your life dude i guarantee you when that stuff went down

01:21:43.040 um that went down in in your life you've never been in a darker place yeah true yeah where do

01:21:48.960 you think that guy's at right now he feels like his whole life is over he's kind of right because

01:21:54.780 his whole identity was wrapped up in what people's opinions of him no i mean like what's what's good

01:22:00.360 We still don't have any sponsors for this show

01:22:02.000 I haven't gotten a brand deal in 1.5 years

01:22:03.640 So it's time to do the right thing

01:22:06.760 It's not over

01:22:07.840 Everyone stop for a second

01:22:09.400 We have a very large

01:22:12.140 Fucking brand deal on the fucking table

01:22:23.460 Ten times in the last ten seconds

01:22:25.340 Then they shouldn't fucking try to sponsor this fucking show then

01:22:28.020 Because we say the fucking F word here

01:22:29.520 Spencer

01:23:48.680 Extended audio Q&A on Spotify and iTunes right now.

01:23:51.380 Take an easy piece.

01:23:53.640 Here we are.

01:23:54.440 I low-key thought that was the audio.

01:23:55.940 Like, I already thought we were in it.

01:23:56.900 Oh, no, we're here now.

01:23:57.900 This is it now?

01:23:58.840 Dylan how's it going dude

01:24:01.440 How's he been doing his first month on the job

01:24:03.680 He's great dude

01:24:05.100 He seems like a pro

01:24:06.880 Day one first order business

01:24:09.220 Get Mike off the show

01:24:10.380 Literally first fucking thing he said

01:24:12.540 You don't think he's doing a great job

01:24:14.760 No no no

01:24:15.240 Then the next 800 things after that

01:24:19.040 Incredible

01:24:19.600 I was confused by that one

01:24:21.980 It was just a suggestion

01:24:23.460 I love how he doesn't retract it

01:24:26.340 He's just like

01:24:26.960 Let me back him up

01:24:29.580 The whole world is run on data

01:24:31.300 And user sentiment

01:24:33.100 Viewer sentiment nowadays

01:24:34.380 And he was relying on

01:24:36.280 Well he was relying on some of the commentary

01:24:39.440 Well what the fuck was it then

01:24:40.840 What was it

01:24:41.980 Since I've been here

01:24:44.740 You've recognized your role about when to

01:24:46.880 Speak on things and when to not

01:24:48.920 And so that's been Karen

01:24:50.360 Thank you

01:24:52.140 Wow that's excellent

01:24:54.840 And I got a soundboard

01:24:56.800 I don't know how the hell I got this thing to credible.

01:24:58.360 It was going to be five minutes with Mike

01:25:01.840 just to dive into the actual specifics.

01:25:04.200 He goes, all right, so how about this?

01:25:06.140 Mike comes in five minutes at the end

01:25:07.720 and just he talks about whatever.

01:25:09.280 And I'm like, okay, what about the rest 55 minutes of the show?

01:25:12.120 He goes, he won't be there.

01:25:12.880 It'll just be you and Spence and the guest.

01:25:14.660 And I was like, I go, did you do something?

01:25:16.960 Like an Artie Lang?

01:25:18.180 I go, did you do something?

01:25:18.980 Yes, yes, yes.

01:25:20.280 Or Beetlejuice?

01:25:22.160 Beetlejuice, dude.

01:25:22.940 I was like, did you just try to kick mine off the show?

01:25:25.380 Logan goes, I'm just going to stop you right there.

01:25:29.660 That's not happening.

01:25:30.840 He goes, what's next?

01:25:32.440 And I was like, yo, what is going on?

01:25:34.460 Respect.

01:25:35.160 Respect.

01:25:35.840 That was hilarious.

01:25:36.760 We're a crew.

01:25:37.300 We're a squad.

01:25:38.000 No, but Dylan's great.

01:25:38.940 Yeah, he's doing a good job.

01:25:40.880 Have you always been religious?

01:25:43.080 I grew up in it.

01:25:44.440 Like, you know, we talked about my years of doing what I did and learning.

01:25:49.620 And I heard you talk on the episode before this, Mike,

01:25:52.340 were you like, I don't know if I would take it back.

01:25:54.280 i absolutely wouldn't take it back and the reason is take back what take back like doing all the

01:25:59.000 drugs and and the addictions women gambling all the crazy stuff that that i did that i'm not proud

01:26:05.100 of right now but i still get to speak on it and like people will listening will listen to me

01:26:10.500 because i achieved i achieved greatness doing something that people have appreciation for and

01:26:16.440 i was actually talking to dylan before and i'm like man how cool is it that we live in in a

01:26:22.800 society in an era where you can become the best in the world at something just that you love and

01:26:29.620 people will love you for it but how fortunate we are that we're we're good at something that

01:26:34.260 people value you could be the best bobsledder that's ever walked the planet oh my god people

01:26:38.140 don't care about oh my god you're so right you know what i mean like i could be a good bobsledder

01:26:42.260 because i'm a good combination of speed and power yeah yeah you like cool runnings but i could

01:26:45.800 yeah dude that's such a good movie honestly nowadays you probably could actually become

01:26:50.120 a very lit bobsledder

01:26:51.140 and make a good career.

01:26:52.540 No, but there it is.

01:26:54.240 That's an arbitrary thing

01:26:55.500 that he said.

01:26:56.240 I get it.

01:26:56.780 I get it.

01:26:57.080 I'm not trying to take it away.

01:26:58.160 You're right.

01:26:58.980 I mean, that's it.

01:26:59.900 I don't know if you saw the title.

01:27:00.840 I didn't have to try

01:27:01.800 to build a personal brand

01:27:03.380 when I was playing football

01:27:04.920 because, you know,

01:27:05.520 in the Super Bowl,

01:27:06.660 we played in front of

01:27:07.220 72 million people.

01:27:09.060 Yo, but wait,

01:27:09.500 is there anything,

01:27:10.220 is there anything true?

01:27:12.840 Okay.

01:27:14.300 I just want one example

01:27:15.760 that like you love doing

01:27:17.440 and say you become

01:27:18.500 the best at it.

01:27:19.900 You're the best in the world at it.

01:27:21.980 Is there anything truly that people,

01:27:24.200 some that no one will notice?

01:27:26.160 Like I'm,

01:27:26.860 my first thing that came to mind is like,

01:27:28.300 what if you're really good at whittling sticks,

01:27:29.680 but also like people are going to notice if you can whittle the shit out of

01:27:34.180 sticks and make cool wooden sculptures.

01:27:36.320 Like you're,

01:27:36.620 you're good.

01:27:37.880 You're awesome.

01:27:38.480 But you're lit for like a viral video or three or four,

01:27:42.500 like,

01:27:43.080 you know what I mean?

01:27:44.060 Like twiddling sticks.

01:27:46.640 Whittling or sorry.

01:27:47.480 Whittling or twiddling.

01:27:48.840 It's whittle.

01:27:49.900 But who knows, dude?

01:27:50.800 If we want to make up worse, we can do that.

01:27:52.580 No, I think twiddling sticks is the other thing.

01:27:53.940 But here's the question.

01:27:55.280 A smart stick whittler,

01:27:57.160 you may think that one of the lesser known stick whittlers

01:28:00.660 would just make a quick viral video.

01:28:02.760 A smart stick whittler would whittle a stick,

01:28:05.660 create an e-com strategy.

01:28:07.260 And be like a Van Gogh of stick whittling.

01:28:08.140 And then blow up a line of shirts,

01:28:11.280 stick whittling devices.

01:28:12.360 A digital course teaching stick whittling.

01:28:13.900 Like if you're great at identifying mushrooms,

01:28:16.940 maybe that's one of the...

01:28:17.860 Maybe that's a good sport.

01:28:18.740 Yeah, bobsledding.

01:28:19.900 no i just had to get good at football oh sorry i thought you were talking about when you got

01:28:24.000 cared about me because i because i got good at something people appreciated yeah he got good at

01:28:29.360 something that people appreciate oh i always say that i got really i got lucky that this was the

01:28:33.500 that's what i'm really saying it's not like i'm not saying people the best in the world at things

01:28:37.480 that people don't care about aren't important or anything i'm just like super grateful and thankful

01:28:40.940 that i ended up becoming really good at something people already valued i didn't give them a reason

01:28:48.120 to value it you're talking about a trailblazer you're talking about more like him where he

01:28:53.600 created his own path based upon his own faith and his own obsession and consistency of that day

01:29:00.580 after day created a niche for him he created his own niche the niche was already there for pro

01:29:05.960 athletes i just stepped into it i worked really hard and i'm not discounting that but i knew that

01:29:10.780 there was gold at the end of the rainbow you didn't why do you think why do you think some

01:29:15.300 occupations or skill sets are

01:29:18.260 underappreciated

01:29:20.420 even though people have

01:29:22.160 indeed dedicated their whole lives to it.

01:29:24.280 Teachers.

01:29:26.840 Nope.

01:29:27.360 Nope.

01:29:29.760 I'm talking about like an extreme

01:29:32.460 skill set.

01:29:34.280 I'll use ballet as an example.

01:29:36.680 Yo, ballet is

01:29:38.120 fucking hard.

01:29:40.580 Like extremely hard.

01:29:42.340 Ballerinas have worked their whole life

01:29:44.120 damaging their toes their feet going to practices by the way dancers uh the dancers four four hours

01:29:50.500 a day plus and i like ballet dancers in general i feel are underappreciated so why is it like i

01:29:58.660 sometimes feel bad like i feel like i sort of got lucky that i i like to happen to i happen to like

01:30:03.760 for sure but like it was lucky when you had a viral video yeah it's not lucky when you've done

01:30:09.540 it a thousand times yep you know what i mean so it's just like luck is is preparation meeting

01:30:15.920 opportunity but do you have advice for the ballerinas because what i'm saying is i just i

01:30:19.720 feel bad for the give a p give people a reason to care okay okay stick whittling give people a

01:30:25.380 reason to care like make it fun yeah you do that you do that all the time like you you make the

01:30:30.280 most stupid stuff entertaining and cool and viral with creativity so you take something basic with

01:30:38.060 your creativity and your energy and your tribe and you end up making it something great have you

01:30:43.940 have you seen that have you seen this just in uh-oh what's going on it's an iphone 4 so give us

01:30:50.240 is that your phone we gotta upgrade you man where did you get a four from dude i didn't even think

01:31:00.640 to be different i'm kidding i'm kidding he's a new yorker we love him it looks like james charles

01:31:05.200 has leased in Encino Mini

01:31:07.280 Mansion is what our producer's telling us.

01:31:09.680 Dude, let's just go over there right

01:31:11.380 now.

01:31:12.540 You down to show up? I will

01:31:14.500 mediate. Wait, he's moving

01:31:17.120 in down the street? Here, on the same

01:31:19.140 street. Are you actually kidding?

01:31:22.320 Is it that

01:31:22.780 house? He's in Encino, bro. Is it that house?

01:31:25.740 Nah, Encino Mini Mansion.

01:31:27.220 It was sold for just under $2 million a couple

01:31:29.260 years ago. It's not the one that's down the street from us?

01:31:31.160 No, no. It looks different. Damn, $2 million in LA.

01:31:33.080 That's like a shoebox, isn't it?

01:31:34.280 The property is located in a rather

01:31:36.420 unfashionable pocket of Encino.

01:31:39.420 Unfashionable pocket.

01:31:39.760 And the .15 acre lies in a slightly dinky

01:31:42.240 in the back yard.

01:31:44.120 I can't even fit your fucking

01:31:47.020 bobsled in there, dude.

01:31:48.500 What I was going to say is...

01:31:50.500 Maybe you should help him with his header there.

01:31:53.380 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:54.380 That press release was a little whack.

01:31:57.180 Were you religious when you were

01:31:58.880 doing drugs?

01:32:00.620 Yeah, I mean, you don't ever like...

01:32:02.940 You grow up that way.

01:32:04.140 you believe in it you have faith in it like you know what you're doing is like not god's plan

01:32:08.520 if that makes sense so but i was bucking the system man bucking my faith bucking my

01:32:13.940 me bucking my body you know what i mean but i was a bronco yeah so i mean dude it's just crazy to

01:32:21.040 you know i did an interview earlier today with uh for my podcast with hall of famer terrell davis

01:32:26.860 and to talk about like obsessions like that's kind of been like my jam today is to talk about

01:32:32.180 like how obsessions can feed into great things, but also freaking crush you. Yeah. I mean, that

01:32:37.860 was, that was, I was, I was getting consumed by people's opinions versus just like knowing that

01:32:44.300 I'm enough, like knowing that I'm before I sit down in this chair, like I don't need to be

01:32:48.180 anything more than what I already am for the people that listen to this or for you guys to

01:32:53.620 build a relationship with you. Like if I come in here and I act like something that I'm not in

01:32:58.940 order for you guys to like me or for the listeners to like me or follow me on instagram or any of

01:33:03.780 that other stuff then i'm going to need to show up in that inauthentic inauthentic way every single

01:33:09.040 time that i meet them or i'm around them or they're going to be like oh that guy's not what

01:33:13.240 i thought so why not just be yourself from the jump and dude if they if they vibe with you then

01:33:18.900 dude make it happen and if they if they don't then you don't have to it ain't gonna work because

01:33:24.240 what do you want to have a costume party every time you go to their house be like okay now i

01:33:27.100 need to be steve the motivational energy guy that never has a bad day like no man you know what i

01:33:31.900 mean like i have bad days i struggled with depression and anxiety the same way everybody

01:33:36.780 else in america does you know what i mean but i but i have processes to be able to work myself

01:33:42.480 out of it you know the self-awareness that hey my life doesn't suck i'm just having one of those

01:33:46.880 days so let me go through my process to find some gratitude flex out of it because everybody has

01:33:52.100 it doesn't matter if it's like i'm bust out of this hey i heard you got kicked out of a gym

01:33:58.220 breathing heavy oh planet fitness this is a good this was a good one really so so i was nfl fittest

01:34:06.240 man the article had already come out you know big magazine spread and all this and i do a lot of

01:34:10.680 work with the new jersey boys and girls club so i was the fitness ambassador for the boys and girls

01:34:15.080 club from north america and then um for the city of manhattan i did all of their i pretty much

01:34:21.980 made the fitness videos for schools in manhattan and all of new jersey so anyway like i'm i am

01:34:28.580 wellness like i give to the kids i'm all about not just like abs and arms but people just being

01:34:33.080 fit and building their confidence and getting healthier and long story short i had a flight

01:34:37.600 from new jersey to chicago for a business meeting with deuce mcallister old teammate of mine what's

01:34:42.280 his first name you said deuce mcallister just the first name deuce deuce deuce you know like you

01:34:48.000 gotta go number two yeah like drop a deuce he was he was you remember deuce mccann oh yeah so i

01:34:54.040 went for a meeting with him was he the shit he was dude he was tough he was tough i don't know

01:34:58.940 so anyway fuck so i had the meeting with him and i had an hour to get a workout in long story short

01:35:06.740 that was the only gym that was available planet fitness and i thought like the commercials with

01:35:10.680 the lunk alarm weren't real things real life but i went in there i paid the twenty dollars and it's

01:35:15.100 like nine dollars for a monthly membership but i knew i wasn't going to come back so i paid the

01:35:20.040 20 and i'm in there training arms i'm not deadlifting i'm not squatting i'm not doing

01:35:23.320 anything crazy i'm breathing like you're supposed to breathe when you train you know what i mean

01:35:28.020 you know like when you're just normal breath you know what i mean like i'm not grunting at all

01:35:35.500 anyway so i look different than other people that were in there so long story short someone got

01:35:39.760 jealous the alarm comes on and the guy comes up to me and i felt like such a douche but i'll be

01:35:45.720 real in telling this story i thought the guy was going to ask for an autograph but he was kicking

01:35:50.060 me out of the gym amazing so i'm like wait oh yeah yeah no i'm okay dude i got 15 minutes to

01:35:56.860 finish this workout then i gotta catch a fight and he's like i'm gonna call the cops i'm gonna

01:36:00.160 do this what yeah this so i was like kind of you weren't even grunting no no did you set the

01:36:05.760 lunk alarm off i don't know i had my headphones what is the lunk yo literally it's a siren a

01:36:10.160 literal siren at planet fitness i shit you not you can't you can't put more than 315 pounds on

01:36:15.560 the weight you can't wear cutoffs you can't have a one gallon it is an all-inclusive fitness place

01:36:20.560 did you break any of those rules no so you were just chilling i was there someone was certified

01:36:25.220 certified kicked out for excessive breathing so in a long story short that happens and i'm like

01:36:30.980 on snapchat as i'm getting kicked out i'm like dude this is ridiculous i fucking remember this

01:36:36.160 yeah it was in sporting news it was on sports center but it got onto all of those news outlets

01:36:41.340 before i even landed in jersey so that happened i put it on snapchat and i think it's probably

01:36:45.820 the first time that espn's ever put somebody's snapchats on sports center yeah you know what i

01:36:52.200 mean because snapchat wasn't like a thing that people reposted on on tv so anyway so i land and

01:36:57.520 i have like 600 text messages and and they my people my tribe went to their instagram account

01:37:05.800 and just crushed everybody they had to delete like their last 15 posts and it was and i didn't

01:37:12.860 like ask them to do that but they're like how could you kick this guy out like he's a man of
