The Journeyman Pod (with Daren Bates + Corey Levin)

Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls. The boys officially had ac round of a blout voice. Listen, I know, big beans go fucked up.

I was looking like, oh.

Boy, all right, let's jump into some more ship.

What did you do for four stars?

I go, I do my body movement stuff. I send in front of a red light naked. I'm not trying to get to any point to where we're showing up at a Starbucks and DB's asking, have you seen this motherfucker? Had you thought that if you were available and not on the Texans, that the Titans would have brought you in before they brought me in?

All right?

We in were ready to go. That's a nice breeze. Ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls. The boys officially have a c round of a ballout. Boys, it's been a long time. Last week was the hottest pot we had ever done. I was actually rocking.

And it.

Yeah, it was nice. I liked it. But the time I stepped out like it had like a it was a black shirt. I step out. When the light hit it, it had like a glistening coming off of the shirt. By how much I was sweating that it was just dripping when I stepped up and then it got to like soak down. It was just dripping off of my shirt. That's how hot it was.

Last week it looked like Hot Ones. I haven't seen Hot Ones or whatever that show is. Yeah, sweating in there. You guys were sweating bullet we got.

Yeah, you can always mess with it. But welcome to busting with the boys. This episode is brought to you by our greatest partner of all time, Chevy Silverado, the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. Do you guys drive Chevies?

I do?

I love that because you guys are lunch Wait wait way, I can't. I can't, no cursing. Make sure to bleep that out. The strongest most ad been Silverado ever. The Silverado is strong, advanced, dependable, hard working, first in, last out, gritty folks like yourselves. The Silverado is dependable, just like the people who drive them. You obviously know I'm talking to you, guys, a partner with grit determination, anything is possible, and that Silverado is a partner in that. Do you

I mean, I know they can be used for tailgating. Yep, fourth of July is coming up. Get you one right before fourth of July. Hauling. Let's haul those jet skis to the lake. Yeap, that sounds pretty good. Towing. If you got a big boat, let's tow that boat off roading. There might be mud, it's a little rainy cold front coming. He's all about.

Off roading, you feel me.

And then you're sending your kid off to college, moving a day, helping out your friend or family member. Easy, all the space road trips. Pack that thing up, let's go.

You did a great job. That was a great job. And wait to chi them in there, dB. But go to a Chevy dealership near you. Hey, yeah, you fear me. Let them know the boys sent you. Maybe they'll hook you up. Probably won't, but at least take a video of it and let us know. All right, that's our Chevy adread boys. How are you guys doing. It's been a long time. It's good to see you.

Yoh, it's been Yeah, I haven't seen you in well over a month.

You look good.

I feel good, I feel straight. Yeah.

What we need, Bloss is you to bring up an old photo of Cory so we can see them before and after, because you, I mean, you have you look a lot better than last year. We'll just refer to it as last year.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I feel better. I have a better mindset about it all, you know, Like, yeah, I don't know. I was just tired of it all, so I took my time away. And now I guess you could say I got hungry, and then I just when attacked it every day. I mean explaining you're hungry. I mean I just like I missed it again. I missed football. I

And then I don't know, I just sitting there watching.

Is that because you're like busy and caught up and stuff like that.

I mean, I don't know, I just let it get to me a little bit that like I couldn't stick on a team maybe or something like that. Like I thought Chicago I was gonna like be good there, but then obviously I didn't do enough. So then I guess I just took some time away to find what needed to be enough.

And now I feel like I feel right, We're gonna got a good camp.

I definitely want to dive into that ship more because we definitely have to introduce the one, the only, Darren Bates. But to give context on Corey, Corey eleven, he was with the Titans for what.

Years, uh, seventeen and eighteen and then the training camp before nineteen, and then.

You got waved, you got cut by the Titans, Yeah, and then you.

Went to Denver claimed by Denver that was later in the year, right, No, that was they claiming for like awful waivers. Okay, first waiver wire or whatever.

Then how long were you in Denver?

For twelve weeks? And then I was in Chicago.

Then you're with Chicago in the off season.

Right, Yeah, for those last four weeks and then off season and then they released me and I went to New England for one fucking week.

I know, I can't wait to talk about the New England one week and I was just like, I was like, yeah, I'm done. And then you felt like you you were you were kind of over it.

Yeah, but we'll.

Dive in all that shit. I just wanted to let the people know that you're a journeyman. Yeah, that you're you're a grinder, like you're in the You're in.

It, michef silver out of You're a Chevy Solrado.

Everybody has uh dB. You've been a highly anticipated guest. You've been a highly requested guest, not only in the in the the social media world, but also in the locker room. I had to hear about it for fucking weeks on end.

Yeah, I took one hundred and some episodes, but yeah, one.

Hundred four episodes. But let's be honest. Are you happier that you're on it now than you were more so in the beginning?

No, what's difference is the same thing.

Well, now you've got raw Room going, you full more eyes to raw Room.

I would still had no, I still would have had Well, Okay, you're right, But.

What I'm saying is, say you start raw Room and if we go last year. Our audience is smaller. Now it's bigger. People can go check out the raw room.

You know what I'm saying.

They can't go check out the get some fresh ass shirts like this, you know what I'm saying, the fresh as you had last Yeah.

So you know, time in hear some good ship.

Explain the so dB, this is year nine for you coming up right. You were with who's your the Raiders first or the Rams round first?

Three Raiders one.

Undrafted absolutely Raiders one, Titi Titans for five years.

Yeah.

So you were five years.

With the Titans. Yeah, sixteen, I got here. You signed the Textans in twenty twenty. Yeah, I was there for seven days.

He's got twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen. Oh that's Titans. Sorry, sorry, please everybody out chill out. Yeah uh yeah. And you also are one of the few NFL players with a podcast.

Absolutely one of the it's like a handful.

Of Yeah, there's there's definitely pause. Yeah, there's like there's positive function in different like seasons, but there's not really I don't know many at all that function like and operate like all year round. Yeah, but I know there's more now, which is good.

Absolutely, there's definitely more.

I think, like it's always like that competitiveness, like when dudes are coming into the space, like you want it to be better. Like it's just that competitive nature of everything. But also at the same time, like you wanted to kind of like inspire people to feel like they can do something like that. Did you feel that same way? Not really not really.

Looking at it like this.

It's just like just as far as just having a podcast, as like he was as a tool or something.

Yeah, so I'm saying when I started, when we were starting Busting with the boys, one of my wives was like, you know, being an example for other players to show, Yeah, you can jungle, you can juggle a couple of things. But as more players are coming into the space, obviously you saw that competitive side to where it's like you're keeping your eye on them and stuff like that. But at the same time.

Yeah, mine was since we don't get the well I know for your time to watching you had the microphone in your face at practice at the games. Yeah, everybody interviewing you, I ain't get that ship all the time. So and I feel like I had more to say than just yeah we ran down on kickoff I saw the double team right here, and I made a talk. I got some you know what I'm saying, you really want to hear me talk about it? I feel like I never had the opportunity to to tell my story.

Just that's why that's my first.

Like creating an avenue so you can have the platform to speak on the things.

Yeah, absolutely, and do it the way I want to. I can talk to what I want to say, how I won't happen. Then have other people come home. That was my my next vision, like have other people like Jeremy holt Is who's trained here with that's a train killed them you know what I'm saying. I've been with Dan German since day one, Yeah, since I got here and brought him on.

You know what I'm saying. It's those type of people that you want to get.

I just put give them a light to tell their story till they decide how they got here. Let him go relive, you know what I'm saying, his football days and show his highlights over in that bitch and he can talk about, oh, that's what happened on this certain place. Just giving them a just a just a broader avenue, you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, I know, I think it's awesome, like anytime, like just having any players on or anybody really.

That's what I'm saying, anybody like comedians and shit or but we're trying to get like some local female rappers out and have other rappers around here on and just trying to get people on.

Just hear their story, give people a spotlight, get their stuff out, because people in Nashville.

Absolutely they know these people, you know what I'm saying. Just like like Josh Black who growing up right now. We had him all a long time ago and just seeing him steady growing growing, just start hosting this and doing this and having his own comedy night at Zainey's and ship.

You know what I'm saying, so's I'd be.

Happy as hell and I see that ship and then they come back on and say what they'd have done since then, It's like, you know what I'm saying, You get your stuff out some more people than could. We probably got a few you subscribe to not even know about you, you know what I'm saying. And you're putting us out there too, and were pulling up. You have a block party pulling up. You know what I'm saying, Just showing love. But you just meet new people and.

It gives you gratification to like it's like having Michael Chandler. He's a good example for us. He was on when he was in Bellator.

I was gonna I was gonna say, Mike, yeah, I texted you out of know her.

I was like, Yo, this little video that y'all put together about his pot like fired me.

Up, dude.

I was thinking about going I was thinking about going in and having like a bad day.

Like I feel like shit today.

But then like I saw that video, like before work out, before like ohtah, I was like damn, Like I can't.

I can't.

I have to complain about yeah, Like.

And then I like, so just different people that can do that for anyone, you know what I mean? Like, like you said, it could be a comedian that is just working so hard on their craft whatever they're doing, like you had Jelly roll on, like, I'm sure he had something deep to say. Like people, I don't know, man, people just look up to guys like us, you know what I mean. And if they're true fans, you know, they live, eat, breathe, and they fucking they want all

Me up that you liked it. You got that out of Michael Challenger for sure.

I had a great day that day. Yeah, a great day.

Because Mike, he was he was in the beltor world. Was he a champion at the time when he came on when he was on was he the champion at

I look like that. It's what you basically did.

You did we all did in football and from our rookie year you started it the lowest fuck he made your way up ship, but everybody else is watching you do it so basically like you was living at the same them, sitting on the couch telling the story about how they keep getting better, keep getting better. It's like people was watching it really probably one of your process, like that's what was.

Happening right understanding like all the context.

All the ship.

So that's what we get here, and then you talk, you know, talk them through like this how it was, this is what we saw, that is what he felt, all that good ship, you know what I'm saying.

And you never know who's like paying attention, like said that about Mike. It's not like I sit here and think like, oh, NFL guys or people are watching this stuff and like taking to it like that, because when you're on the creator side of it, you're always like think of all the negative shit that can go wrong instead of thinking of like any highlights or good stuff

I just had that on an episode that just came out there with Genoa Jenkins.

Oh for really you had him one.

But we had like a four hour episode. I had to break up in two parts. It was just ridiculously just going like that and me telling him right then and there, like I look up to you still do.

And were you guys together?

You guys?

Yeah, yeah, my first year and that was a young team. We're youngest hell, and he was in his second year. So you know what I'm saying, just had met him. The first thing he told me, he was like, like, first time ever met him because we used to be in this ship called Section eight. That's what they just called undrafted rookies. Was it a Section eight? Everybody been too deep in the locker, you know what I'm saying. Everybody got fucked up numbers, so you know, you one

Always tell him that when he came on the came.

That's what made it so long because he was like he was telling me, it's part of like always ha me around, want me to be around him. And you know what I'm saying, because he was like, I just video energy, bro. It was like, shit, I want you to make it too. And I was like, damn, you know what I'm saying.

You're probably thinking like you don't think of somebody because he was drafting what the first or takeing around second, You're probably not thinking, like, you know, the second round draft pick is taking something from me. Undrafted over in section.

Eight absolutely sun't feel me. He and the mansions over there and he was I'm over here, fucked up.

Yeah. That was love though, man, Especially.

Hearing him say you know what I'm saying that ship, hearing him like, oh, yeah, you know we always you know, going out to eat.

He telling his stories about, you know, remembering us. He's kicking this.

So that was that was that was love here because you know, you hear that from other guys, but to hear from somebody you know, you looked up to talk about.

Peer, like somebody who's on like in the same kind of industry, same kind of level. Like hearing a peer tell you stuff like that, it does fire you up for sure. What uh, what do you got going on? Now? What's up with you?

Now? Pod working out because we're.

The same d B and I. Cory is on a team here, Corey's with the Jets currently. I forgot to say that at the beginning.

Yeah, I heard that slander like in one of these pods recently, Yeah.

That the Jets are garbage.

Bro.

It was like, uh, that was tough.

I heard it was tough.

Like what's the record the last few years?

That's that's about the future. Man.

I'm with it. I love the energy.

We've lot some pieces now, we got some pieces. Dude.

If I was a Jet, I'd be j e t s all day long. I'd be wearing green, I'd be on this bus just spouting off. You know, Jets gary Vee, it seems to be.

With the Yeah, yo, I have not heard from Gary ve don't Yeah, I don't know. He's a big Jets fan.

Yeah, he wants to own the j The Jets' very.

Public about it, KFC from Barstool. He's a big Jets guy. It's not that I hate the Jets.

Like it should be close to Barstool if you like, just try out. Yeah, come on.

And I didn't see this as like Jets slander, like was it was? Would you clarify the slander?

Boy?

Can you pull up the clip Taylor says?

You and Taylor going back and forth about who are just historically like a historically bad team, and then you said like the Jets.

Yeah, but I'm on the team.

Yeah, I'm a fan. I'm rooting for you, bro. But yeah, some Jets fans grabbed a hold of it. You know obviously all the all the the regular ass ship that like oh we don't want you, or who's this guy?

You know, there's tons of Jets fans. Now it's a big thought like they're they're die hard fans.

Oh yeah, there's some of the best fans out there.

Yeah, I can't wait.

It's like it's like Eagles fans. Yeah, maybe that might disrespect him, but it's like those hardcore Has fans, Oakland Raider fans, Wallas Vegas Raider fans, no question, Like they're they're definitely up there at the top.

That's the different though Oakland fans Vegas fan they traveling from Oakland, but for sure.

But the store, the history behind the history behind the raid way, the story you heard me say that. Fuck, I think a dragged history. What an eighties was in the town. Yeah, Okland at the extended.

With the road broad aunt.

Say, is garbage, right, But I'm a proud person that came from the extended.

Stay, no question. Like the Jets, that's your section, that's your section.

Yeah, no doubt you made it about the extended stay.

Yeah, before you wanted to get on me about the slander, we were talking about how you're on the team, the New York Jets out the.

Jets, Jets and were this offseason we did good man, we got better.

You still want to stay on the Jets?

Yo? I love the team.

I'm excited for you. You seem like you're having more fun than I've seen you had it in a long time. And it does fire me up exactly.

That's yeah, when that's that's been my new answer when people are like, how's football going, I just.

Say I'm having fun.

Yeah, you should be.

I'm having fun.

I love that. That fires me up.

Fantastic.

Should we get to an ad read? Is that?

What is that?

What you're bringing that up? Shout out Roman, no for shoutouts, and this look. No one's perfect and this but this is actually a perfect time for this ad read. Even the best baseball baseball players strike out with the bases loaded, the best golfer sometimes three point with the tournament on the line. Even the best podcasters in the world sometimes

Yeah? You want to get his number?

Yeah? Are you able to d M him like from the account?

Yeah, he follows bus and I'm sure he.

Might he might not, so so we'll get to this later on in the episode. Yeah, we'll get to We'll get onto this later in the episode. But pretty much, we had a we had a we had a Twitter troll quote tweet a tweet I had talking about uh dB was coming on the bus, stoke to see him a highly anticipated guess blah blah blahlah blah. Quote tweeted. If you guys are busy in the weight room, or if you guys are in the weight room, you guys are probably and not doing a podcast. You guys would

Because I'm just like, how do you call yourself a fan of something?

And then right like he's a Titans fan, like he's you know, he's for the boys, whether or not he wants to say I'm for the boys because the potter who knows what's going on? Yeah, here's a tweet.

Because it's him. It's a group of like him and like two.

Other Yeah, because people would like put like, oh, don't at at Will Compton and if I'm on Twitter at those moments, I will see it. Yeah, And then I think last week I responded like, hey, the way you feel about me is like none of my business, Like you know, it's if you guys can tweet however you guys want to tweet, like it's all good.

One of the original ones that that Ravens fans.

Who's the original one?

The one where you heard around the world that was he one of them?

Was he on you?

He was saying like nice special teams or at for like you know what I mean, you should get a segment, a weekly segment.

What's just a different Twitter troll Twitter. It's like, that's not because people are like, is that how I get on busting with the boys? So I got to I saw somewhere. But all I have to do is disrespectable Compton that I can get on the boys. And then somebody I think it was, who was a Sal Who's the guy I want to give him Jersey Sal. He's somebody that's known in the Titans twitter fandom world. He goes, yo,

Right?

Because there's like a significance role that people have on social media, Like social media can bring people some type of very shallow significance like human beings in general, Like you get significance from love, from friendships, your relationships, being a father, like being a kid, like, you know, making

Media because they think I'm mad, but I'm just really me, just check in.

Just you just wanted to know.

He like, I ain't gonna be like, hey, bro, chill up, bro, now fuck you bitch ass me. Then I'm done because I didn't got it out what I said need to say. So I came back to coming back.

You lost.

I don't cut now I'm moving on, just like they're posted to me saying he'd be like, I own you.

You keep on talking to me because I own you.

You're in real estate in their brain.

I'm living in that.

Now You're gonna keep on coming back tha say something again because I'm not gonna say the next time, because like I said, I said, you thought you thinking about the last year. I said that was months ago. You're still thinking about.

It, right, So you've you described like and share, motherfucker and stop talking to me.

Subscribe, like and share it to the row room you can find all podcast platforms are also on YouTube. Correct on YouTube, we always need to shout out the boys, Corey. Do you ever deal with hate or do you have any Do you have any anything there?

Yeah?

I don't really have that big of a following on like Twitter, so no, I don't ever get he only start when you start tweeting and ship you start saying, yeah, definitely start coming.

Or like if you're playing, like in the game.

Oh yeah, there's no games recently, so I mean when you play, people always find something wrong.

Yeah, oh always, You're the eye in the sky. Everybody has access to enough. Yeah, twenty two people out there.

I mean I guess a little.

When I signed, people were like they were just like tweeting at the owner like yo, Woodie, stop signing back up out lineman, like and I'm just like I expected that because it's funny.

But like people be like, who the hell is this guy? Like Woody, we need to get.

You know such and such, and I mean, you know they draft the first round cat anyways, yeah.

I feel like that happens. That what happened to most of the time. When we get signed to a team, there's gonna be some people who this guy, whether that people.

I don't care, right, any any no name guy gets that. Yeah, that reception.

That's even because you're not signing like a Julio Jones.

That's the extent of it for sure. Yeah.

But even like I bet you there's people Julio Jones like, oh, way to sign him in like year ten, Like what's he going to do?

Somebody is always always so.

But there is always a troll for everything. The pettiness is funny. We do enjoy it.

Just to get a reply? Really?

Like you got to come with more hate than that bro.

Talking about it. Our god talk about it.

TV goes after people on Twitter.

I like the tension is fun though, there goes so you attention, Hord. That's what it's all about. You really just want the nigga that you just want to be on somebody to do. Like I said, like that shop makes zero? What kind of man is you to want to be? Like, I'm finna be little these niggas. I'm gonna talk ship on the nigga. I'm finela ooh this get my dick hard? What kind of person? No real talk? Like, what kind of person? Like you supposed to be a man?

Bro?

Like real talk and you're supposed to he's supposed to be a fan of a team, but you weren't. Like what we're shut the fuck up? Like what do you know about football? Not much? I guarantee you that. So it's like, how you're gonna ever tell you need to go be in the weight room, nigga beat. We was in that bit early that morning. What you're talking about being doing that work out? That's what we do. So how you gonna tell it? I don't tell you what whatever the fuck you do. You don't talk about that.

I ain't what's even that serious?

Nigga? You don't get it though, Like what go?

Did you? Hang on? Hang on? I know you're getting riled up. Trust me, I know, just take it easy. Just fucking breathe a little bit, because.

I literally told you I took around on there all the time.

You know, listen, I get it.

But you know this show is all about the petty hang on bullies, bullies, guys.

Take it easy. I listen, you know, I'm all about the petty, but legit, Like, obviously there's a there's a there's user names and ads that will come into my mentions because people tag and you know, want a jab and it is all fun. I know ship is not that serious, but I would like I've always been curious of the motivation behind tweeting ship like that and like

Uh, that's really just attention for me and I know for everybody else.

But what happens when you do get that attention? Hang on, dB, hang on, we gotta land. I know, I just what happens when you do get the attention? So I replied, I said, would you like to come on? Obviously everybody else is doing their thing with it, and you're I looked at your timeline a little bit. You're like, I'm about to get dragged this and that now. Obviously DB's all worked out, But I kind of wanted to do

Uh?

What becomes? What? What is behind the whole reasoning of being weight room? And you would be on the team that just saying like you say that from that it's a factual standpoint.

Well, for me, like I'm in a script chat right now and it's a funny script chat, but we always stuck around like that and say like someone should be in thereat, remember someone should do that.

Ah. So it's like it's like you won't basically, hey, you won't comment to Will compor right now and say this, and it'll be like, you know, it's kind of like a little like a little dare and then you go and do that's what we do, yeah, and then that's what happens. And then that's when you guys all get under your comments and kind of like feed each other, right, And today it happened, well, I think it was like

And then you know you someone someone in the group chat. They told there.

In like two weeks ago or three weeks ago, talking about going to Starbucks and whatever.

Oh yeah, straight up now was joking, nigga, I'm down.

There's three minutes, bitch, I be there.

Did you go?

Yeah, nigga, I walked in that whole straight up to the play. I forgot to name Hey, so and so work here. You've seen this, dude, they got playing like that.

You d beat on play. Sometimes you walk across the wrong people.

Yeah, maybe we don't need that weekly segment. Maybe we don't need.

I know it's fleeting, but you got you got your moment. Thank you for coming on, Thank you for being for the boys. Stay blessed, stay a tightened season ticket holder?

You to.

You was that low key? Hey there told you to be a season ticket member?

He said, you too. It's like one of nervous It's like one of those It's like when you get your food, enjoy.

Your food and YouTube.

What was to come on?

Man, That's what I'm saying.

Expect him to say, well, listen, he might have said. He might have said more because dB just started in it.

Looky, I knew he wasn't.

He wanted to know he was.

You don't understand.

I got hot because like, why are you hearing? If you were gonna come, you should have kept that ship going in right.

But but what we have to do to keep that going is you keep mirroring a few things he's saying to get him to hear what he's saying.

I going to tell you what he was. He was gonna play back pederal old time.

I know.

I know even if it was just been y'all, I ain't saying ship, he would have been he would have played it down the whole thing.

Yeah, I don't know nothing.

Because he was Yeah, because he's sitting there thinking like, all right, what am I okay? That kind of sound.

And then that's what I realized, And that's what got me hot, because you hear this, but you.

Can't let him trigger you like that.

You gotta see that that wasn't triggered. That's me talking that.

I knew he was gonna been the entire pod right now.

Yeah, because like I hate ship like that.

At least have a reason, bro at least a little bit still talking ship, and I would have been laughing. I would have been cracking up. And then but then you come over here and say, oh, I don't know nothing. Hey, no, now now I know you a bitch.

Hey.

Obviously he was obviously calm through that, because there's another level where he pulls up to the fucking Starbucks.

He that is fucking wild.

There's levels to DVS fucking ship.

Yeah, Like, and he was what was gonna happen at the Starbucks?

Where are you gonna throw macchiato in his space or something like him a white chocolate moke.

With creep.

Sip of Victory Monday latte right after.

Oh god, handwalk croissant.

I guess I don't know what I expected from that. You kind of just he was going, no, no, he like.

I don't know what.

I don't think he thought you were going to go in on dude. Like I didn't think he was gonna go in on dude. Like the whole time he was like, I don't know.

That's when I got hot, bro.

Well here's why, here's why. And I know, dude, stick with me for one minute, and I understand that they're not gonna say nothing, and like, you know, you get loud about it, you can back. I'll tell you they're gonna do. They're going to back ba blh blah blah blah. Is I never want to assume where somebody is that because number one, you don't know the context behind what their negativity is going on out there on social media.

I want that process. You go to the torture and without like, yeah.

I wanted to, Yeah, I wanted to do it more from a question standpoint, right, because usually when you're bringing negative energy energy towards something like if you're taking energy of yourself and doing it for something that's negative or might drag something down like some different area, right, there's usually some type of result that you're not seeing in your own life, right, that's driving the behaviors that you have, and when you have bad behavior and bad habits, at

It was just a good cop, bad cop, and I just took it too far.

Yeah you went bad cock?

Yeah yeah yeah.

And so it was gonna because when I was texting you, I was what did I say to you? It was gonna be polite in a way that's gonna mean.

But then I start hearing this nigga talk.

It kind of sucks when somebody's voice doesn't live up to their voice on social media, you know what I mean? Like I wanted to hear some type of witty comebacks because he had some wit to him when he's on social media saying like he's got his means. Everybody's got the gifts and the memes. But when you actually got to get on a mic, you actually got to talk and say something, you shell up a little bit. What are you shaking your head about, Alex? What do you got?

Because you try to do it, you try to have a teaching moment with a kid, who's just sitting on his couch like he doesn't care.

I was gonna say we were talking about he doesn't care.

He's gonna listen to this entire thing.

Yeah, for the rest of his life and be psyched about it.

He won not I guess it depends on how you're seeing it as winning.

Okay, he won because he got the attention he was looking for. What did he said? He do? We legitimately got nothing out of it.

There's gonna be got no answers, no, no, no, you got no answer.

There's gonna be a he didn't learn it.

We lost, said we lost. We just took an l dude on a Monday. I guess you'd be going ship off though, so that I got.

Yeah, he got. He's gonna be thinking about that. Damn, what kind of man he showed. You told him that he showed up to the Starbucks. Now that other kids fucking scared. He never talked again. That's that's funny. Said that he new to.

I've gotten to check a box off talking to a team bro. They won, they got to do, got to do.

I just feel like my man will get to a point in his life where he'll, you know, acquire something right heavy laying back and back.

That motherfucker accomplished, right, Yeah, all right, what do we care about him? You're gonna be a great dad. Just the lessons that you just try to teach a kid like that.

Yeah, I see, it's like it's like all the weird that the cloud stuff is, like, you know, I legit and thinking of it as a conversational teaching moment piece. I guess that's I guess that's losing something. Yeah, we learned something that. Feel free to go. Feel free to go completely off script, and we're riffed with your thoughts on the brand Bare bottom clothing. Shout out bare bottom, no free shots. Do you guys have bare bottom clothing?

For a quick second there, I felt like I was listening to like Wolf of Wall Streets, like you sold me. You sold me on something, so I don't know what it was. I'm going to go check it out though. That's how much I like that ad.

But rate the ad read four point five.

Oh, I can live with that. I can take that.

Just you're gonna come a little more correct, depends on what it's out of. But you know what it was?

What do we got here? DB's high school highlights? Were about to watch your highlights? Were you like that?

Drafted. If you if you live in the world of stars, that's a bust. If you live in the world of draft picks and everything else, you know, because it almost seems like, uh, high round draft picks that were two stars, they want to live like I was a two stars and now all of a sudden, I'm a I'm a first round draft pick, right, And then you got people that live in our world of like, you know, we were n drafted and we've played in the league, blah

I was kind of one of those kids that sat and you like watch everybody highlights, like, man, I can I can do that, I can be this, blah blah blah. But you get into like those Nike camps and stuff and more, it took off from me. Was like, uh, you know, small flex, I was a Nike camp MVP.

Yeah, so how did you champions us give us a story mine?

It was not even serious. I was at Panama and Panama City. It was a spring very ship having fun for the first time. I feel like I ever washed my hands after that pe in the club until my ring off set that bit down, wash my hands in looking napkin, I just walk away my right to the door steps. Probably I did go out, and I was like, the fuck, turn back around that it's gone. Took that bitch was gone when you're in the bathroom.

I walked out.

I pissed, washed my hands, walked out, and my homeboy song were like, fuck, turn back around. I mean was right in the little edge by the paper town. So I know that nigga seen that bitch and swiped the hell.

Oh, he had it.

He had it the fuck he got security in the hold and the drug. My ass about that, Panama. I ain't hanging up jail in Florida. Hell no, rough in Florida, right, I don't know, it's not Memphis. I'd rather go to jail in Memphis. If I got to go to jail about something, Hey, y'all come get me. So you can't call him by in Florida. That's too far, too far.

Oh, he definitely snatched that. If he's not letting you like feel him up.

Break, he's trying to get some bitches for exactly what the are you talking about? And I had the out back bowl on next to us, but Big didn't have. Before I even tout the I had took the out back Bowl because it was right because the back bow like that ain't gonna real gold. That was like a Rolls Gold type of ship, so they didn't mask. I think it was like it's you don't get no real ship. So then the BCS was platinum, all platter with a blue diamond, big blue diamond. And I was like, I'm

I was fixated on picturing you wearing like all your jewelry, like all your football rings.

I mean I got pictures like that on somewhere on the I bet you do.

I remember I was at the house in my room from high school and I got the picture like Jordan hot, Jordan put the hand up.

Class ring, Yeah, I got a story about that.

See look class room. Never got a class ring from no school I went to because in high.

School, class rings in like high school and something.

No.

Because then when I transferred, we were supposed to the day I like my last day school there be and my homeboker he was transferring to, they had a ring ceremony for Saints coming up. You know what I'm saying, we can get your rings. We were like, nigga, we already knew were in transfer. We were like, we ain't got to come to that ship. I had worked at Smoother King. I like, let's go Smooth King, get the smoothest thing, boom foot all over. Smoother King actually drove.

All the end.

Get start getting calls like from all type of numbers then my daddy comes like they what the fuck you with are you talking about? Man, smooth king? Why the fuck you in at the school? Like, oh, because they have a ring cremony. You know what I'm saying from be here next year the niggas you hung up the phone. I was like this nigga man. So we pulled back up and the principal standing outside with the brother with her little dress on.

The priests and shit.

And they was hot because they found out at the same time they were about to transfer, and we just had skipped that ship and left school and for the last three days that they made us clean up the school, like throughout the day.

So we were gonna have the sweet paper and ship.

So that's why I got Then when I transferred, it was like, yeah, okay, I'm gonna go to college. Now we got the Auburn and it was like, all right, I'm trying to go to the NFL.

So so you were you're an NFL guy in high school. Yeah, I'm getting to the league.

Man.

When I start transferring school, that's when it's like it's a business, Like it's time to work.

Oh, you were operating as a business in high school?

Like yeah, I always wanted to.

I wanted to go professional something basketball or for obviously who nigga dreams always?

Oh yeah, you did say you were good at basketball.

That's what I'm saying. So when I started realizing, Mike, are you actually though? Come on, I'm trying.

I'm just saying you you you don't like.

John Henson? That was my teammates a uh uh my boy in Chyma not fuck, he's played with the Warriors. How am I forgetting my nigga name? No Clark, Yeah, come on, he went to German time.

You're naming other guys. I'm wondering if you were.

That I'm talking about. I'm on the team, Brunn point, I'm pulling the ball out of the court. Pass these niggas who because we're you.

Know, we've been around some NFL lock rooms. Now, you know a lot of the boys the man.

Look, I wasn't city like that. I knew back the end of sophomore.

Hey, look, I can hit people harder than I can pull up on my jumper.

That jumper.

I'm still gonna play football though, I mean still play basketball.

So did you play your junior and senior year Rio State?

No, I was all staying football the ship that mattered.

I know I'm with you on that. I think it's more so the.

Basketball play.

But I dropped the whop who I want to make the NBA Like freshman sophomore year when I started getting like bigger, so I start getting super aggressive playing. I didn't care about I want to dunk. That's how I cared about it. I was like, I ain't finna two serious. And then I started seeing these motherfuckers sixteen and six six six sixty.

You the point guard? Never man? Fuck that year?

Okay, no real district?

Yeah, yeah, come on, I'm Dan does and I read it every does. Yeah, sir, I mean that it doesn't football and basketball. Don't try me, William.

Hey, respect, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of us. You just set the bottom of it, and does the bottom get too. I'm a hooper. I was hoopings is out fo Starbucks? Bro, pull up on you.

I know what ja, I'm happy with step brothers, you know, because I'm not trying to I'm not trying to get to any point to where we're showing up at a Starbucks Anddb's asking have you seen this motherfucker? And he's showing them my old rivals picture, like keep your eye off for this too, Yo. Let's get to an ad read Better Help, shout out, Better Help Therapy, no free shoutouts.

Yeah, for sure, that was like that almost that second time that wone hurt because I felt like there's no way that they were gonna cut me, you know what I mean, Like we didn't have any preseason games, Like I thought they were gonna roll with like dudes that were, you know, making a difference in practice for like their line. So I was playing center, like I was the leader of the second line pretty much, or like I could

Do you feel like you were going through mentally because you went to New England?

Yeah, and you were only there a week that I felt like I went to New England just because I wanted to please someone I don't know who I was trying to please, and you.

Felt like I gotta go do it since I got Yeah.

Like I feel like, you know, if you got the opportunity to go play for the Patriots like versus other people would be like, go go do that, ud, go go play for the greatest organization or whatever, you know, whatever people would say about the Patriots, like you know, old heads would say, go play for the Patriots or whatever. But like I got up there and quickly realized, like this was this wasn't a great decision for me, Like this isn't This isn't an environment.

That I would like thrive in.

You know, I was like trying to survive for a little bit and then already being let go by Chicago, like couple that on top of that, like I just wasn't in the best headspace for ball.

Yeah, and you.

Gotta be like you guys know, you got to be in in a like a fucking elite mindset the whole time to be doing what you gotta do on the field, in the classroom, in.

The weight room, all that, all while I wasn't with my family either.

Like just so, your son's eighteen months like he yeah that so.

Back then he was only like six months or so when that happened. Yeah. So like just fucking moving back and forth, like everything that goes in for grinders like us, Like you know, you've been to a bunch of fucking teams all the move and all that shit.

I just was just tired of that and then I needed to reset.

I think watching watching certain people like that I know around the league, like get out there and play and like quiz when you were saying like dudes on the podcast, like or like just giving people platforms to speak that might motivate people.

I told you Mike did. Quiz does too EITHERD like.

Every day being with him in the locker room with the Titans, like quiz man, b Yeah, he's a man. Like just watching him when he had to fill in for Taylor and Ty, like I was like, dude, I gotta come back.

That's awesome, you know what I mean.

So like different stuff like that, but I'm just excited to be back for sure.

Yeah. I want to say there's a story I heard. I forget who told me, but they're out at New England with you and they said you weren't able to You tapped out of a practice once.

Yo.

I had cramped the day before at practice and then like we was going through I was getting ready to go back through practice and like just in warm ups again, like my legs started cramping all over again, like just crazy. I don't know what it was, like I was hydrating everything, but like I was just starting to lock up and I was like I can't, I gotta go ahead.

And the reason I bring that up is because like being because we got we got closer when quarantine happened, like COVID, we played risks, we were doing all the

To me, like what do you think about your window or something like that?

Right because you're like, oh, I think I'm gonna take a year off, And I'm like, you know, do you think your windows closing exactly?

What?

And then and I was like, no, I don't think it is.

I'm glad it hasn't. It fires me up. But also like you made I feel like you made a switch too, because you truly do look way better than you did last year, for sure, you know what I mean. And I don't know what all you did or like what mentally you kind of like figured out on your own with it or something that kind of lit a new fire under under you. But like what happened in that timeframe because you started to turn it on in like a different we stopped doing the we our whole group

It's it's kind of unexplainable. I can't really put words on it.

I mean, I I took my time, I guess to just like wallow and self pity or whatever, and then like I was just like fuck this, I gotta get it. I gotta do something. So like I knew I still had it. I knew I still had playing ball in me. So I mean I still got to make this team and whatnot. Absolutely for sure I knew that I could. I could get back on a team and get my foot back in that door. So like it was just a matter of how much time I wanted to take and you know, be with my son and my wife

I appreciate that, Like I feel good.

About everything, my mindset, my work ethic, everything going into it. So I think it just really took some time of you know, staying down and then uh kind of just like waking up and realizing everything is gonna be fine and that you can you can get back to the top or do whatever you gotta do. Think it's that'll take you there. And then I mean just as far as you know, looking better, training better, eating better, that all that stuff plays on your mental too, like the

Yeah, for sure, was it the cupcake comment?

Yo, Taylor lit a fire.

I gotta know. I gotta know if they're because the cupcake comment happened, and I'm telling you, I'm talking a month or two later, Corey looks like he just fucking everything switched. And it might obviously it's a combination of a lot of things.

But well that comment, I mean maybe a little bit, because they say, you know, false enthusiasm turns into real enthusiasm after long enough for whatever. So like the first day after he said that, I went and worked out and like made sure that I put what I was doing and be like where you're at, cupcake or whatever

Like public accountability.

Yeah, essentially, just like I don't know, just people would you know, there'd be a few dudes would be like, yo, I see you working, like and that I felt good about that.

So I just kept that ship rolling.

That fires me up because at the same time, you have to endure any type of clotbacks from your boys. Would send us the fucking his arm selfie.

And because Will wouldn't be working out, and I'd be like, hey, Bro, I'm looking good right now.

You gotta hey, take it easy.

Now, people take that out of context.

I wasn't working with there, go if you'd be working out.

Yeah, that is true. Yeah, he got me with that one.

So yeah, that's where I'm at.

Bro, just basically hit the reset button and now feel fucking phenomenal by brick Yeah, day by day.

No, that fires me up. But that's that's the biggest thing I wanted you to talk about on the pod. Yeah, because you are You're you're fucking journeyman that has had to grind and has been in a couple a few different mental spaces.

For sure, you know what I mean.

There's a lot that goes on in that first year when you have it too, especially when it was like a COVID you'ar like it was wild.

You see why I haven't had any kids. What I've been playing.

And then you gotta leave, you gotta leave old boy for like a month at a time to go to training camp.

Like that.

Yeah, you know, it just kind of ways on you in different ways.

I love that.

Yeah, for sure.

It's been a great pod.
