May y'all clap it up, may re start the sharp man.

Mm hmm man both.

M Maybe what they do a baby?

Thank you?

Oh no, ye get back you were Yes, he's bad, he's bad. Oh, thank you very much. It's been a long day and even longer trying to get here from over there. But thank you for staying. Hopefully we can get you out of here shortly because I got to get up early in the morning again. But uh, a tremendous day.

It's Uh.

It's an honor and a pleasure to follow that guy for for a change, and uh and being the first brothers inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

It was out. Don't you cry up, Hire, don't do that.

I want to know you have to tell me, tell the people out here.

Understanding and knowing all you've been through. We all come from what it took to make it to the NFL, the struggles, having to lead a game early.

What this night needs to you.

It's it's kind of interesting, coach, because I never wanted to be in the Hall of Fame. I never expected to be in the Hall of Fame. This is not something I asked for. This is not something I wish for. This is not something I prayed for, because when I left the game, the only thing anybody ever talked about is what.

I didn't do.

Now, I'm okay with that.

I am. I'm okay with what I put on film, I'm okay with that. But so I never had any expectations. This is not like Christmas to where you know, you want a skateboard or you want a bike, or you want to compair Jordan's.

This isn't like that.

So for me today is kind of interestingly surreal because I didn't want this. This is not something I wished on myself. But you know, being there and seeing my friends that are in the Hall of Fame that were more excited than seemed like I am right now, but they were genuinely happy. My good friend Tara Loewens, I hope I'm not. I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by putting Tarot's business in the street.

But Teo cropped.

Teo and I go way way way back to the before he even got the league, and he was so happy for me that that he and I had had about a good forty five second moment to where we just kind of we kind of got wrapped up in each other and the history and the time and all that. So it's it's been a really good day, oach. But let me tell you, I haven't gotten there yet. It's gonna it's gonna take a little more time to get there. Yeah, congratulations, thank you, thank you.

And I know.

They's been a long time since she's seen that guy speaking so much.

You know, his little brother loves you, man, Yes he does.

When he talks about you, he talks.

About the man that the only man that he's ever hoped to be to measure up to because he knows he couldn't do it. And anybody that knows you, and anybody that knows him knows how he feels about you me personally. You know how much love I've always had for you. To get some tissue, man, We need some tissue up here. For those of you who might be too young to remember. We religiously talk about Jerry Rice

He did a hell of a job talking the.

Game of football, teaching the game of football, working with cats in the industry is showing us the way as well. And had that pedig There's so many people that followed that played in the NFL and now doing television. You were doing it before most and you were doing exceptionally well. And so for me to see you have this day is well deserved and I'm just happy for you. It's long overdue, but it's here. Congratulations, congratulationious.

I think the thing is why I get so emotional, and people ask why, I say, because I had GPS to get to where I'm going, Because I had to follow him. You see, he did what he did with no navigational system. He had no map quests, he had no Google, he had no instructional manual. I had all of that because I got to walk in his footsteps. A lot of what I learned, almost everything that I learned,

Mhm.

It's his job, because we're not gonna be around Mary Long. It's his job to teach him how to be a man. It's his job to teach him right and wrong. He's gonna follow everything that he.

Does because that's what he sees all the time.

For my brother.

To do what he's done with no guidance, with no instruction manual, to get to where he got, to.

Get me to where I got. You guys have heard me say, the only man I've ever wanted to be was him. He was he, he was my role model. He taught me to shoot a basketball, he taught me to throw a football, he taught me how to catch, he taught me how to tie my shoes. I'm not the man that's sitting before you today. I watched everything that he did. I hung on everything that he said. And then you heard me tell the story that he's only three years older than I, but he's more like

I'm not here. I'm not the man that I am. I'm not the person that I am. I'm not the friend that I am. I'm not the father that I am.

Without seeing how he did things he's.

We're brothers.

Were a lot of light, but we're very different because I've always had to fight. Everything came so easy to him. I was so small. They called me p we and I just I could never understood. I never understood why I couldn't beat him in certain things. He was always prouder for things that I did as opposed to what he accomplished.

He was much more.

Happy when I got drafted that he did. He wouldn't first pick in the seventh round. I mean first the seventh pick in the first round. I went to seventh round, one ninety two. He was so exciting. He would just call and say.

I mean he just mad.

Y'all don't know what this moment means, not just to our family. My mom is going to be extremely excited. I'm extremely excited. Our high school coach who coached my mom, who also coached he and I.

Well, this is.

And God heard prayers. I didn't even know he was missening to. There will be a time that you and I have a conversation. We'll talk mapping everything out, guests that you want to bring, and the party and the entertainment that you want. Bro, I said it before. We'll give every diet, take myself out of the hall just for you to be in. I measured my life in summers. I don't say years, say figure I pretty got hopefully pretty healthy. I got twenty twenty summers left. I'm good now,

I'm getting it.

I'm getting there.

It's it's hard to explain because you don't want to put your emotions on someone else, but you know, and I think that the easiest way to explain it is we've all experienced. I think Christmas, you have a list and you're hoping that you could get two, three, or four of those things.

I never wished for this.

I never wanted this, and I said it tonight out loud for the first time, and the reporter was like, what do you mean you never I'm like, man, you don't understand. I only wanted to do one thing, and that was play. I didn't want to be an All pro or a pro bowler or all that. I just wanted to play. And I got to do that for seven years and I'm good. And then the Hall of Fame comes around and they're like, okay, you've been out five years. You know Sterling Sharp is on the list

Through the Hall of Fame. Me going in will not exceed when he went in. It won't do it. It's not gonna come close.

That was probably the happiest I'd ever been because I knew where he came from, going to Savannah State a college.

He said he wasn't gonna.

Go one of the times that I told him what he was going to do, so I knew how hard he fought. And I mean, there's not a lot of opportunities for us in sports to where I know what stephen A's journey was like to get here, or I know what Chad's journey was like to get here. I know what his journey was like, and all my prayers were for him. I'll embarrass him about one story. I

I junk yard. He junk yard. That's what he said, I junk yard, you carved og.

Wait what So so you have to understand that that we are we we're brothers, but we are we're one side of the same coin. We'll say different things differently, and we'll do different things differently, but we think alike. And God is truly you know. And I will tell you this story, and I'm gonna be quiet. A guy said to me, if you go into Hall of Fame, are you gonna do like everybody else?

And thank God?

Because you think God wanted you to be a Hall of Famer if there.

Is a God. And I said this, I said, my own brother.

Stood up and said, if you would have played longer, there's no question in my mind that we would be the first brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That was in twenty eleven. Since he said that, I have not had one catch, I have not gained one yard, and I have not scored one touchdown, and we are the first brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So you tell me, if there's a guy and I should give him some glory. And so you know, for me,

Class of twenty twenty five Pro Football Hall of Famer Stirling Shark.

Yah.

And now it was time for the next guest, presented by Holmes dot Com. That's given up in New Orleans own juvenile.

I think I'm all right.

I'll see you now, Black Glove.

John Now, oh you see mony friends, he's grab one.

Grab homes dot com is a better way to shop for home buying, Julie. Four hundred degrees is a classic that helped the fine Southern Route. Tell me where you became when you come up with these songs, because they're timeless. You come on nine and everybody hit the dance floor. When plus years later after you came out with this, when you hear those the you hear people talk about it.

Man.

You know, I get some I guess some ill stories sometimes when I bought into people, you know, And one of the main things I get from some of the people, they say, Man, you raised.

Me, like, man, I don't know your mama.

Man, yeah, bru, you got me through some hard times, you know.

And you know, I tell them all the time when I see him, I say, hey, man, I'm glad I could be of service to you.

Man.

But before hundred degrees for just like just like it is in New Orleans for a lot of people, they say, man, it was an inspiration for me to do something in life.

So glad to be there for him.

Listen, Cash Money bro oh, Cash Money Records bro was a powerhouse in the nineties and two thousands.

Brock, Yeah, we grew up on that. Should you raise me? You know, when I think about it, I'm just I'm just being honest.

Man.

What is it like being a part of such a revolutionary label?

Bro It's crazy, man.

You know, when we was in the studio making them songs, you know, we didn't see ourselves being I know I didn't. I ain't see ourselfs being you know, around this long twenty plus years, and man, it's one of them situations where you see a little bros popping off. You know, you had your you had your Yo shine and then you see Wayne pop off, you see Beg pop off, and it's like, damn, man, we really we really, you know, we really made it, you know, and and now the city is still showing love.

Man. Yes, yeah, when you were in the studio, did you know at the time what you guys were doing.

When we got together, man, you know, you know, Cash Money did an overhaul. They had a lot of artists on the label. And then you know, when I got there at first thing, they told me it's gonna be you.

You know, it's you, Turk.

BG and Wayne.

So when we get when we started hitting them studios and we start making them songs. We had no idea of you know, with the family, you know, what the people with, what the reaction would be.

You know.

But when we started doing them tools and that money start coming in.

You know, yeah, you know what I'm saying, the cast win a rough out of the tour and stuff like that. Yeah, that that's I started seeing a little, you know, a few things. Then I started saying, well, man, I hope everybody getting paid, right, So I started, you know, I start worrying about my money too.

So yeah, who are your I got your own?

Who were your biggest inspirations when you when you were coming up and who inspires you?

So when you was coming up before you started popping off of y'all, boy, who inspired you?

Especially from your own culture?

Good question, man. I listen to everybody.

I was one of them.

Cast like to listen to hipop period. But my main influence was was ice Cube. Ice Cube and ice Cube was that guy from me. You know when n W when NWA came out, Gangst the Gangs and everybody from the city could tell you when Gangs the Gangster came out, that changed the way everything in New Orleans, everything I mean and ice Cube was always that dude.

For me who inspired you right now?

That's in the game, somebody that you look at and be like, you know what that he'd the one?

He one of them, man, I got a few of them right now. Is this guy sitting next to you?

Man, I'm inspired by him the transition, you know, I'm in the transition of my life where I'm getting ready to do a podcast. I'm you know, I'm I see how y'all, I see how you're picking up all these awards, and I'm inspired by that man. And my other inspiration is E forty. You know the way that he took the rap game and started branding itself. I see you with your little portier. I got my yak, I got everybody down here knows I'm branding myself all the time.

It's hats that that was around back in my day be an entrepreneur. Let me ask you this. Weasy was the youngest. Did you know that he was going to grow up to do what he's become.

We did, Bro, you listen to Blink Blink you hear Buried Man say in a year two thousand and we ain't gonna tell the game up. That's how we felt. We always knew, you know, Wayne Mom, you know Wayne Mom wouldn't let them curse. So we had to walk that down.

We had to.

Like he used to come in there with some songs and like I said, Bro, you can't say that. Bro, The kids like you can't say that. So we knew then some of the stuff he was saying then, like Bro, when you take when we take the cuffs off of God, damn he gonna Yeah.

I mean when he came up with blin Blean, say that again, bling Blean?

Yeah, did y'all know that was gonna be an anthem because everybody started talking, Hey, bro, you need that blean.

Wayne was making so many sound effects, you know.

That was this trick to you know, I'll come in the studio talking stupid like look I'm about to man, I don't care what you got.

I'm about to mess over you. Wayne come back with sound effects.

So Wayne was always the one that killed me on the song Man but yeah, man, I didn't know bling bling was gonna be something not especially not a word in addiction. Right, Wayne was always creative, bro beyond I couldn't. I can't explain it, Bro, I can't explain it. And at the beginning, dude used to have me laughing the fact that he was so young and he was it was like an adult and a kid body.

Some of the things he knew. I'm like, bro, how the hell you knew that? Amazing?

Bro?

Real smart too, real smart to real books, smart too.

Yeah.

If there was an artist right now that you can collaborate outside of me spit like that though, Oh yeah, I could rap it. Yeah like that you got around you want to hear?

Oh no, we'll forget y'all.

Anyway, If there was an artist you can collaborate today, who would it be?

Right off top, off, off the top, somebody that's active right now, it's Gloriala.

For a whole bunch of reasons.

That's a good one.

Yeah, that's a good one for a whole bunch of reasons too.

I just feel like Gloriala fit that whole hot girl thing that I've been talking about and we were talking about years ago, you know from the projects.

She just feel like somebody is from the hood.

Yeah.

Glory, oh yeah, Glow Glow man let.

One.

Yeah, Julie.

You remember your Tiny Desk that was a huge success, especially when you think, hey, when you hit that slow motion. Yeah, like when they called you to do Tiny Desk, did you have in your mind like, Okay, I'm gonna do this.

I want to do this. But to do it the way you did it.

I think that's what people like, Well, how rapper gonna go on tiny dess because there's normally people with R and B and slow songs and things like that. You brought it a rap and sung it in such a way people like, well, damn you aboy should have made it like this.

Yeah. I didn't do it by myself though, And shout out to my guy shran Bone, Showt and John Baptiste and man in Fresh. They really helped me out. They really backed me up. I needed that New Orleans flavor with me. They all came in a four the Degrees band.

Man.

They cut up too, man.

But it was one of them things where I didn't even know what Tiny Desk was, you know, truthfully, And I made a statement pissed everybody all and start going at me on social media. I said, look, if I get ten thousand retweets, I go to you know, I'll come up there, perform on time and desk not knowing, not knowing. I have to pay for flights and all that, right, like damn, I ain't got no budget of them here, so yeah, we have to pay for it.

I had to pay for everything. But it was all love, man, because the fans love it.

They did.

You get an unbelievable job, ladies and gentlemen. Give it up for Louisiana's own New Orleans own.

Ju what is playing? If I am to love y'all, that's that's op.

Yeah, that's that's the one man. Appreciate it. I'm gonna get you some of my looking to you.

Bet all right, brother juvie, I'm so black, y'all do that. And now welcome to the stage. Shape Shape Media's new assign these humble baddies. He sh right down where we going, We're going tonight us up, We'll stop us up.

Della, hey bell chiefs, hey baby, ye don't you you got you got speechless? All right, I'm just ask anyway. I want to know and I don't know how did Humble Baddies come about? How did it start?

M Well, we used to have a podcast.

Called Iron Woman, and a lot of people were asking when y'all gonna get back together. So I was talking to Ashley an Alectus and I was like, y'all we should do a podcast, and it was like okay, okay.

And one day I just woke up.

We were coming from l A and we were in the airport and I was like, let's think of some names, Ashley. So we were thinking of names and I was like, what do you think about Humble Baddies. She was like I like it, but didn't like it. Get Up Ladies was like I don't like that name. I was like, it's gonna grow on you. We got Humble Day and we just started.

We went to.

A podcast room, started filming stuff and here we are today.

Is there anything that you ladies won't talk about?

Or is everything?

Agreen like every topic?

We talk about everything.

Okay, I'll be talking about everything. Let me ass you guys, what is this your honest portrayals? What we see on waves to riches on Netflix? Is this the honest portrayal of you?

Three?

I think it's part of us. It's definitely chatter truth. No, I'm saying because we gotta be real, like what you saw I stand on business. What I said is what I said. Okay, but it's not the whole story. And that's why we have our platform, Humble Battyes so that you guys can really get to know who we really are, our real thoughts. We can have real conversations, we can engage with y'all and you really see like where we come from. You get the background. You can't get the

So what we see on Humble Batties, this is who you guys really are, correct.

With wax and riches, Reality TV have became scripted reality, right, So when you have people who new castmates, they have a story, right, And I know we got a lot of feedback, negative feedback saying oh, while you expose this person, their story needed to be told. So of course when you're dealing with producers and everything, it's scripted reality.

It's unfortunate but.

So you really don't want twenty five us in my nightcap?

I really what don't want of my ninth club of sour.

Our scene was playing chat and na be we be capping a lot, y'all.

So how much did my lawyers say you five hundred thousand a year?

That was it was.

It was a battle of the lawyers with that scene. I think it's layers to everybody. And we are public figures and we show up as ourselves, but at the same time we are we have depth, we have families, we have businesses, and we heard for a season two so you can see that we are talented women and we have a voice.

So we are just here to sprinkle a little bit of our essence on that.

So and our main thing with Wags we want to show that. You know, most people think we want to change the narrative of what a wag is. A lot of people don't know that the women and girlfriends of athletes really have businesses, and a lot of people think that they brought their husband or their boyfriend coattail and that's not true, Like it's not highlighted a lot that these women have businesses, and that's what we wanted to show absolutely.

What are some advice you give the women that's trying to start a business.

I feel like you have to go for what you're passionate for, because if your heart isn't in it, then you're already, you know, losing. So just make sure that whatever it is, you know, you got to stick your mind to it and be passionate about it.

Give it your all. You know, get up and do it.

Don't just you know, say you're going to do something.

Get up and do something.

Every effort means something.

I say.

Surround yourself with people who are doing better than you. I say, also surround yourself with people who can you can learn from. I feel that if you are in a room with someone who is on a trajectory, you can tap in with them. So whether it's mentorship, where it's asking questions, I love to.

Be in a room with someone that is doing beyond because I'm like.

You know what, I'm in this room with them, so let you know what, I can be there too, and I listen to them, and I take heed to what they're saying, and I bring it to fruition and it happens. So I think it's really about who you set yourself with who you ask questions to and who you your mentors are.

Did y'all? What are your goals?

I asked rations for Humble Batties twenty twenty five. We all set goals before we go out and try to achieve something. So what are your goals for Humble Batties throughout the.

Entirety of this year?

Well, we signed under the Best, so cool, we signed under the Best podcast. Yes, we did media company, but we plan to be up there with Nightcap. And we need all y'all to subscribe to Humble Batties.

Thank you for having us time share its time we sign.

Thank you all.

All right, ladies.

Gentlemen, here it's time for our last segment of today. It's time for Q and A.

Q and a yep, Q and a Q and A what happened? I'm waiting they gotta come to the mic. Oh, hey, we we are. Hey, can y'all hear me? Where you all going tonight? Because I'm I'm gonna go? Can I go with mone of y'all? I'm going to bed. I gotta work tomorrow.

I ain't got my name's top. When asked Carl Williams, oh, I got two questions. Yes, did pay you your fifty two hundred years?

You know what?

He ain't about to bake that. He ain't back the bait, James, I forget that. I forgot about that, and asked one of them change. I forgot about that. But why are you snitching?

Man?

I don't have you brought it up? I got about that. Let me get one of the bracelet.

Till you pay it a chain looked mighty nice man.

Yeah, but I ain't eighty five.

We'll give me one of the breaklest eighty five on ity you I'm gonna pay.

I'm gonna pay you. Tho, I'm gonna pay you. I' gonna pay. Hey, thank you for reminding me, because I forgot. Honestly, I ain't. I'm not I'm I forgot about the money.

Oh my second question, if your grandmother and grandfather was a lie right.

Now, how what you think they will tell you?

And Sterland right now?

Oh my goodness.

My grandfather probably would say, Mary, I told you those boys were gonna be something, and my grandmother would probably just be shaking the head.

Congratulations to y'all, man.

Thank you, bro appreciation. What's all right?

I got a questions that both of y'all play in the league.

With the situation that happened night with Josh Allen winning, do you think the NFL should release the awards at the end of the season to prevent I feel like want they used the playoff for if you push to.

Swing awards.

So I feel like since Alan keeps losing to my homes, there was a way to give him something since he lost to my home, because that's the only person he can't beat them in Borough anybody else he played beat. So moving forward, since both of y'all played, would y'all rare to see the NFL use just the regular season and give the ward out at the end of the regular season?

Vote the boats are the boats are? In the last game happens on Sunday. The boats have to be in Monday at Neton. So the playoffs don't have any impact on.

Me at all.

And they played, they played, they played games to that one. It's only the regular season. Now.

Maybe what they start doing is that the fifty many women that vote, they'll probably make those votes public.

Yeah, that'll work better, that'll work better.

Hi, uncanocho my anxiety. I am a Louisiana native. I wanted to ask for ninety seconds on how to turn around the New Orleans Saints organization.

A way I vote. I got I got it. I got a ninety seconds. You don't need you don't You don't even need ninety seconds for that. You don't need ninety seconds for that. You need a quarterback. I look at them, look at the commandos.

The Commander's got a quarterback, the right quarterback, and turn their franchise around in less than a year.

If the Saints get a quarterback, man, y'all gonna.

Be straight now.

Arch y'all a couple of years away from arts. But I think you get a quarterback, you gotta sell on the coach. It seems like killing Moore is gonna be your coach. It seems like he's the only one that really wanted this job. Because you're so much over the cap, you're gonna have to release some quality players. You're gonna have to do a really good job of drafting. But it all starts with the quarterback. Without that guy, you really if hard to win the National Football.

Hey, Shannon, yes, thank you for killing my Chiefs over the years. I appreciate that. I had a question for one for each of you. Uh it was Derek Thomas, really the real deal.

I love the man.

I loved him, and I just.

Want to know from your perspective, was he as awesome as he looked on TV? And uh oho, I loved you. You're awesome. I didn't care for some of your press confers when you played the Chiefs. You were like, oh, I want to beat them that year if they were undefeated. Then you guys kicked and we went, okay, yeah, you kicked their ask. But anyways, t J Houshman's I drafted him a lot in fantasy. Was he really as awesome as I? You know, as a teammate? Was he an awesome stud receiver?

That's what I thought he was? Yeah, he's really he was really good.

Obviously, TJ and I played together at Oregon State and just so happened God put us together with Cincinnati and so that that connuity continued in that chemistry.

He's he's he's one of the best you know at his position.

Down, Humble, Batty Bubble Dub five twenty. But what is that? What is all that.

Unless you really have something someone to share it with. So for that, for to be able to do, I think that's my biggest accomplishment. I've accomplished so much, but to be able to provide for my family and to know that everything is gonna be okay. They know everything's gonna be okay, because that's my responsibility to make sure, everything's okay.

I think that's my greatest accomplishment. I think man Man.

Would as will also have to have to be that. I was gonna say, you know, being a father is my greatest accomplishment, but I still have work to do in that area. I think we always continue to prove year and a year out. You're never perfect in that area. But being a provider and everyone understanding all two on eleven of my kids that you never have nothing to worry about, you know, and including those I had kids from and cruding the missus back there, you'll never have
