00:00:00.000 Next where I want to get to is D.K. Metcalf.
00:00:01.620 So the Kalen Metcalf wide receiver in the NFL who is phenomenal at what he does.
00:00:10.460 He's got one of those Calvin Johnson type of bodies.
00:00:12.760 For some of you guys that follow football closely, unlike Adam,
00:00:15.460 this guy Calvin Johnson was a great wide receiver for the Detroit Lions.
00:00:19.100 I'm familiar with him, sir.
00:00:19.860 He had a nickname.
00:00:21.500 Megatron, yeah, Megatron.
00:00:22.780 Megatron, right?
00:00:24.000 And just like Barry Sanders, he retired early.
00:00:27.020 Here's a football player, D.K. Metcalf.
00:00:29.360 That's D.K. Metcalf, okay?
00:00:32.060 Beast of a guy.
00:00:33.400 And I actually like the way he plays.
00:00:35.760 On the sidelines, a fan and him, the first clip we ever see
00:00:40.700 is when he goes and holds the fan's hair, Rob, if you want to play this clip,
00:00:45.640 and watch how much money he lost because of this simple incident
00:00:49.700 and what happened.
00:00:51.040 So this is what we first saw.
00:00:52.500 You want to play the clip?
00:00:53.260 This is him on the sideline, pulling a fan's hair, and then boom, hits him.
00:01:00.960 Okay, so this happens.
00:01:04.520 First reaction, what the hell happened?
00:01:07.800 Next thing you know, the story we get is D.K. Metcalf claims that that fan
00:01:13.540 used the N-word, okay?
00:01:16.240 He used the N-word.
00:01:17.780 Now watch this.
00:01:18.520 Go ahead, Rob.
00:01:18.980 This is a different angle.
00:01:25.480 Well, now go and show the clip, Rob, of a fan recording it from the back.
00:01:31.320 I sent that one to you as well.
00:01:33.200 And this fan is recording it, and he hears what the fan is saying to D.K. Metcalf.
00:01:40.800 Do you have that clip, Rob?
00:01:41.680 I sent that one to you as well.
00:01:43.600 This is from an angle from the back.
00:01:45.660 And you hear what he's calling him and what the guy, D.K. Metcalf,
00:01:50.180 gets upset about because he's calling him by his name, the Kalen, okay?
00:01:55.440 Rob, you should have that clip.
00:01:56.820 If you got it, just pull it up to show it.
00:01:59.660 I texted to you as well with the other two clips, three total.
00:02:02.120 So the fan is looking at the same.
00:02:04.620 Wait a minute.
00:02:05.360 There is no N-word being said.
00:02:07.920 Nobody said the N-word.
00:02:09.840 He didn't say, why are you saying the fan said the N-word?
00:02:12.720 Rob, let us know if you have it or not because it's in the text that I sent you, Rob.
00:02:18.080 Go for it.
00:02:21.900 Rob, do you have it for me?
00:02:23.340 No, no, not this one, Rob.
00:02:24.540 Not this one.
00:02:25.380 No, no.
00:02:25.700 That's the last one I want you to show.
00:02:26.960 I want you to show the other one I sent you that shows that the fan is from the other angle that shows the fan is.
00:02:35.660 Do you have that one or you don't have that one?
00:02:37.320 The fan shows.
00:02:38.760 Let me go to this one.
00:02:39.820 You got to see this one.
00:02:40.880 Hang on one second.
00:02:42.360 Yeah, the other fan video.
00:02:44.280 Yeah, it's another fan video from the back.
00:02:47.340 The witness.
00:02:49.900 Is this the one?
00:02:52.060 Yeah, there it is.
00:02:52.820 I found it.
00:02:53.240 So let me send this to you, Rob.
00:02:55.080 My apologies.
00:02:55.860 I didn't send you this one.
00:02:56.840 I sent you the other one.
00:02:57.720 So watch this one, Rob.
00:02:59.240 If you were able to find it, the audience has to see this because nowadays, man, if you don't have this stuff in place and a celebrity can go out there and say, yeah, use the N word.
00:03:09.340 It's automatic.
00:03:09.900 You're like, dude, your life is ruined for saying something like that.
00:03:13.400 Okay, watch this clip here, Rob.
00:03:15.620 The one I just sent you should have it.
00:03:17.100 It says, DeCaylen doesn't like being called his government name.
00:03:23.180 I don't know what that means, but it says it doesn't like to be called his...
00:03:25.820 Real name.
00:03:26.080 ...government.
00:03:28.400 ...of calling him the N word and his mother the C word.
00:03:32.700 So DeCay told the NFL that he called him the N word and his mother the C word.
00:03:37.400 Can you think about that?
00:03:38.180 But watch this.
00:03:38.840 Go ahead, Rob.
00:03:39.260 Hey, DeCay.
00:03:44.580 Hey, DeCay.
00:03:45.640 DeCay don't sign it.
00:03:46.440 DeCay don't sign it.
00:03:46.640 DeCay don't sign it.
00:03:48.340 DeCay don't sign it.
00:03:49.340 DeCay.
00:03:50.340 He might have thrown him over the way.
00:03:52.260 DeCay don't sign it.
00:03:52.800 He might have thrown him over the way.
00:03:56.920 He might have thrown him over the way.
00:03:58.460 He might have thrown him over the way.
00:03:58.780 Hey, DeCay.
00:03:59.840 okay then this guy does a press conference gets emotional because he says he's getting death
00:04:21.260 threats watch this clip here the fan the fan is doing this and you have to know how much money
00:04:26.140 does cost them okay not only does dk yeah go ahead rap be crystal clear about one thing i didn't use
00:04:32.900 any racial slurs no hate speech i mean none of that stopped the game
00:04:38.340 actually never 15 years season ticket holder for the lions i've never done that at all so
00:04:46.760 to kaylin if you're watching this man just if you could just say that please
00:04:55.180 my family's getting threats and stuff it's not cool so whether you said that or not
00:05:01.880 i'm sure you didn't want that to happen to the family even if you did like i forgive you man
00:05:09.880 that's all i got okay check this out watch what happens here number one nfl suspends him for two
00:05:18.900 games the two games he got suspended will cost him 555 000 in salary for those two games but
00:05:25.820 that's not the bigger issue the bigger issue is early reports showed indicated that metcalf had
00:05:31.440 a 45 million guaranteed money that is officially voided due to the suspension 25 million was
00:05:39.180 guaranteed in 2026 and 20 million was guaranteed in 2027 because he got suspended those two games
00:05:45.560 he is no longer guaranteed those 25 games this is reports that came out from a bunch of different
00:05:51.180 guys that were talking about it in the sports media side so vinny i'll come to you first here
00:05:55.820 how do you process this when you saw what happened here with dk metcalf well the first thing pat that
00:06:00.800 you read good good for him okay because your freaking actions have consequences all right you signed up
00:06:07.760 to play football people are gonna talk trash deal with it he calls you by your government name okay
00:06:14.260 there's a clear pattern here and people are afraid to say okay this isn't the first time that this has
00:06:19.380 been happening where where minorities are saying yelling racism and racism and and they get in
00:06:27.180 trouble for it remember jesse smollett walking around saying oh a noose around his neck maga people
00:06:33.660 in chicago beat me up and they said effing man when they and they said the n-word to me okay then it
00:06:39.360 happened again with bubba wallace at nascar he's like they put a bubba his career was going to crap
00:06:45.180 me and tom talked about this he's like they put a noose in our garage it wasn't a noose it was just
00:06:51.180 a rope that hangs that opens up and closes the garage yelling racism yelling racism is absolutely
00:06:57.420 ridiculous because it diminishes the word like when i say people call trump hitler now the word hitler
00:07:04.180 is like eh no wonder why people in these groupers like yeah it's kind of cool because if trump is
00:07:09.460 hitler then hitler's actually not even that bad of a guy if you really think about it and what's the
00:07:14.540 other one remember the covington uh nick sandman he's just sitting there smiling and the indian guy
00:07:20.020 was banging the thing in his head he just stood there like oh that's racist oh he's racist it's
00:07:24.220 like all all three of these four of these cases pat accusations come first then the truth comes in
00:07:29.860 later on we live in a culture well yelling racism is almost like a shield okay it shuts down questions
00:07:36.940 it skips evidence and then when real racism is going to happen people are going to be like okay
00:07:42.000 man whatever we don't want to hear it because it's like the boy who cried wolf i think it's stupid pat
00:07:46.760 uh i i think it's it's hard to take stuff like this serious and again you want to lie in this day and
00:07:53.500 age and i have i'm happy that they had cameras 45 million dollars that's not some chump change i know
00:07:59.460 he's already rich but good for him good for him and not because that guy's back even though he sat
00:08:05.420 there in front of a camera and admitted i didn't say it there's a camera he's still going to get
00:08:10.160 death threats he's still going to have people looking for him because in this day and age let's
00:08:14.920 say 80 are going to see it or maybe 70 are going to see that it was a lie there's still another 30 out
00:08:20.880 there that's like that white boy said the n-word go get his ass so it's not it's bs he should pay for
00:08:26.940 his security for a year that's what dj whatever his name is should freaking give him it's ridiculous
00:08:32.680 well point one tavern speaking of security if anybody's been to an nba game i haven't been to
00:08:38.900 nba game in a long time but i know what goes on and i've seen what happens to the nfl there is
00:08:43.580 security at the perimeters and all a player has to do is point to a fan and flip out and security will
00:08:50.860 come and walk them up and talk to them and you may get your game ticket as they could scratched
00:08:57.220 they tear your ticket back in the old days as used to be called they tear your ticket and you have to
00:09:01.360 leave the stadium you're gone you're kicked out if you did something really terrible you're not allowed
00:09:05.720 to come back to that stadium for games so number one that number two did dj metcock look like a man
00:09:12.520 who had just been called the most offensive term to his race and that someone that had said one of the
00:09:18.100 most offensive things to his mom did he look like that guy or did he just like like a guy that just
00:09:23.580 said man man f you and walk away that's what i saw i didn't see a man that looked like he was flipped
00:09:30.020 out i didn't see a guy that's calling for their security there he knows where they are he just waves
00:09:35.060 at him and says i want this guy out that's how players work and now the guaranteed contract let me
00:09:40.740 share what this means dj metcock has to stay healthy because contracts in certain sports are not
00:09:46.800 guaranteed they're paid out as a percent of playing time so if you played eight games one year
00:09:52.020 and got an acl if it's not a guaranteed contract you only get the eight games you played and the
00:09:57.540 second half of that year is unpaid because you were injured a guaranteed contract goes to the best
00:10:02.760 athletes that say well if you want me to sign this i'll play for you but it's 20 million a year and
00:10:07.820 it's got to be guaranteed if i've already been in the league five years they're like look this guy's
00:10:11.820 an all-star this guy's a pro bowler we got to give him the guaranteed contract but then there's
00:10:16.360 clauses moral turpitude you do something crazy you get drunk you use drugs you violate domestic
00:10:22.820 violence violate the league's policies and you lose those protections at a superstar well guess what just
00:10:28.860 happened because he didn't play for the full year and because this was a league discipline now the
00:10:35.240 pittsburgh stealer says well you better stay healthy because you're going to get your contract if you
00:10:39.940 stay healthy but if you get hurt now it's no longer guaranteed adam your thoughts
00:10:46.840 for dk metcalf man he's one of the most talented players in the nfl uh but this was a dumb decision
00:10:55.400 so you know they say that uh uh you're the sum of the decisions that you make life can turn instantly
00:11:04.380 by one decision good or bad you make one stupid decision your life changes you lose 40 million
00:11:11.820 dollars you get in a car accident you end up in the wrong room you get arrested you make the right
00:11:17.280 decision you end up in the right room you end up with the right people life can change real quickly
00:11:23.000 real instantly so what's the message here for dk metcalf and to the people out there make smart decisions
00:11:29.860 because one stupid decision can cost you money your reputation possibly even your life and your
00:11:36.220 legacy and this comes down to leadership because dk metcalf is i think he's played for seattle the last
00:11:42.580 six he's i want to say this is his first year in pittsburgh the head coach is a hall of fame coach mike
00:11:49.540 tomlin their quarterback is the oldest quarterback in the league aaron rogers leaders on leaders on
00:11:55.520 leaders how did they not get to him before this you know you said on the last episode pbd it starts
00:12:01.360 with the top leadership how do you not understand that you can't do things like this you know what
00:12:06.320 this is reminiscent of who are they playing the detroit lions this game was in detroit we had a guy on the
00:12:12.240 podcast not too long ago ron artest met a world peace famous not for what he is on the court play but for
00:12:21.440 his off the court antics that led to the malice in the palace the palace is where the detroit pistons
00:12:26.160 play right down the street from the detroit lions nfl players nba players professional athletes be very
00:12:32.160 careful before you travel to detroit because you might end up fist fighting a fan and end up getting
00:12:37.600 suspended and losing millions of dollars buyer beware detroit bad boys there you go okay so 45 million bucks
00:12:46.800 which by the way no one knows whether the steelers are gonna imply those sanctions and fines against
00:12:54.320 them with a 45 million they can choose to say you know that they're not going to do that matter of
00:12:58.400 fact benny just sent a story right now saying that he reportedly the steelers are not going to be imposing
00:13:03.520 those 45 million guaranteed you know protocols on them that's a steelers decision okay and by the
00:13:09.280 way steelers coach is a players coach and they love playing for him but the nfl has got to be able to
00:13:14.880 say something about this to say you can't just drop those two words if you investigate and that
00:13:18.320 didn't happen the nfl is responsible for saying nope the fan never said that because then the nfl is
00:13:25.440 not protecting the fans which is the fans that keeps the business the the company in business so we'll see
00:13:33.280 a 10-year season ticket holder in detroit a white guy yelling 15 i'm sorry yelling the n-word in
00:13:40.160 detroit where black people surrounded how stupid does that sound i don't think ignorant you think
00:13:45.360 that guy is 15 years in there and he's always been going at dj metcalf he's gonna yell the n-word
00:13:51.520 right there in front of everybody yeah i'm with vinnie on this i'm with vinnie on this
00:13:57.360 by the way if he was shutting that everyone around him would have whooped his ass
00:14:02.000 so dk this is on you brother right now with everything that's happening i think the spiritual
00:14:08.080 battle that the nation that the world is going through right now i think it's it's more obvious
00:14:13.520 than i think it's ever been and i think letting people know i was watching gladiator and they kept
00:14:18.560 saying hold the line uh i watched another movie i was watching game of thrones hold the line when it
00:14:23.120 comes to christianity and your spirituality i think having faith and not caring about anything dylan
00:14:29.440 i actually pat and you remember this on the plane coming here guys on the flight here the turbulence was
00:14:35.200 so that i have a huge my biggest fear my biggest fear of all is flying as pam sit next to pat the
00:14:43.120 we're dropping by the way we're we're in aspen the mountains are like this the the altitude it's
00:14:48.800 horrible and we're coming in for landing and we find all nervous and then pat's like ask dylan like
00:14:55.200 dylan were you were you worried were you worried were you scared about anything and dylan dylan how old is

00:15:09.680 not afraid i have faith because i'm not scared about anything because if anything god forbid happens
00:15:14.640 i'm gonna be with with god and jesus christ and heaven so again wearing this shirt guys i i i can't
00:15:20.880 tell you how many messages i get of people seeing the back of faith over fear and people like hey what
00:15:25.600 does that mean what does hebrews mean and then the conversation sparks and i learned from dylan
00:15:30.240 at 12 years old in that moment what do you have to be afraid of nothing nothing you have nothing to
00:15:35.760 be afraid of if you have a faith and yeah we have the faith over for your hat boom just like that and
