If the resolution gets a little fuzzy, it looks crystal clear right now, but it was fuzzy as of like five minutes ago.

00:01:03.048 --> 00:01:06.262

00:02:58.192 --> 00:03:04.713
And, yeah, and, if somebody's willing to come up and take a slap, we might be giving away some Super Bowl tickets.

00:03:04.713 --> 00:03:05.901
We'll see about that.

00:03:05.901 --> 00:03:07.185

00:04:18.528 --> 00:04:25.446
You know, you all know the relationship that me and Diego have, so it would be cool to have both father and sons up here, so that will be a special moment.

00:04:25.446 --> 00:04:26.964
We're looking forward to that.

00:04:27.379 --> 00:04:34.014

So, diego, let's start this thing off here.

00:05:08.687 --> 00:05:10.305
My man, let me get my right slide up.

00:05:10.305 --> 00:05:27.394
And first, man, I got to mess with you a little bit because we're in the midst of the NBA playoffs, okay, okay, and you know you picked the Golden State Warriors, yep, and you know you picked the Golden State Warriors and you've picked them before.

00:05:27.394 --> 00:05:28.120
I accused you for being a homer.

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:30.165
I'm just not a homer, it's just a fact.

00:05:30.165 --> 00:05:31.848
It's a fact, it's a fact.

00:05:32.089 --> 00:05:33.112
Okay, all right.

00:05:33.112 --> 00:05:37.226
Well, they're tied 1-1, and they're about to play at 830 today.

00:05:37.468 --> 00:05:37.867
At home.

00:05:38.329 --> 00:05:38.850
At home.

00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:39.690
Two games at home.

00:05:40.091 --> 00:05:40.612
How do you feel?

00:05:40.612 --> 00:05:41.595
Are you still confident?

00:05:41.595 --> 00:05:49.841
What's your confidence?

00:05:49.841 --> 00:05:50.242
I'm still confident.

00:05:50.242 --> 00:05:52.250
Jimmy's got a chance to play and as long as we got jimmy in the lineup, I think we got it okay.

00:05:52.250 --> 00:05:52.550
Yeah, all right.

00:05:52.550 --> 00:05:53.535
Well, I will give you what I normally don't do.

00:05:53.535 --> 00:05:54.377
This all right, but I'm feeling generous.

00:05:54.377 --> 00:05:56.343
We've got so much energy in the building today.

00:05:56.343 --> 00:05:58.889
You know, I'm feeling like a good father.

00:05:58.889 --> 00:06:02.548
Right, we got chris up here, another good dad, so I'm feeling I'm feeling generous.

00:06:02.548 --> 00:06:06.603
So I will extend a one-time olive branch offer to you.

00:06:06.603 --> 00:06:15.242
Okay, if you want to change your pick and go away from the golden state warriors because you realize that they're really not going to win the championship I will give you.

00:06:15.242 --> 00:06:16.505
I will not hold it against you.

00:06:16.505 --> 00:06:20.081
I will let you change your pick right now not taking it.

00:06:20.682 --> 00:06:22.547
Nope, not taking it.

00:06:22.547 --> 00:06:25.091
Believe in my team, you believe in your team, I believe my team.

00:06:25.091 --> 00:06:26.521
Jimmy's not hurt too bad.

00:06:26.521 --> 00:06:27.223
He might play.

00:06:27.223 --> 00:06:32.334
You know he's gonna fight through the pain, so okay, we're good I try, I I try.

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:34.124
To have seen parents out there.

00:06:34.124 --> 00:06:36.550
You know when your kid is going down the right path.

00:06:36.550 --> 00:06:37.521
You know what I mean.

00:06:37.521 --> 00:06:41.290
So you know I tried, as a father, to help, but I can't sometimes.

00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:43.543
Sometimes you just have to let them go through it, you know.

00:06:43.543 --> 00:06:45.129
So you're going to have to suffer this pain, man.

00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:46.725
We're not suffering any pain.

00:06:50.201 --> 00:06:51.947
All right, all right, ok, man.

00:06:51.947 --> 00:06:52.949
Well you're sticking with it.

00:06:52.949 --> 00:06:53.942
We're going to see what happens.

00:06:53.942 --> 00:06:58.319

Chris, chris, chris Chris.

00:07:22.588 --> 00:07:40.971
Now man, I got some text messages from my family about you today and they said make sure you talk about the Los Angeles Lakers tonight Because, if you don't know, christopher Davis is a big-time LA Laker homer.

00:07:40.971 --> 00:07:59.692
He said throughout the regular season that he wasn't going to pick him for the nba champions, but we knew when it came down to it he would okay because, like my wife says, I know you better than you know yourself okay we're not incorrect, I am going for.

00:07:59.711 --> 00:08:09.113
So still, ah so, man, you're down one, two, my man well I mean great lebron performance.

00:08:09.173 --> 00:08:13.307
Luca got a stomach bug and couldn't muster up a flu game and yeah, it was just.

00:08:13.307 --> 00:08:14.752
It was bad all around.

00:08:14.752 --> 00:08:15.682
Bad turnovers.

00:08:15.682 --> 00:08:19.055
It just anthony edwards and jay mcdangle's really doing their thing.

00:08:19.055 --> 00:08:19.516
I didn't.

00:08:19.516 --> 00:08:22.303
I expected ant to do his thing, but not jayden mcd.

00:08:22.303 --> 00:08:24.189
So you know, we'll see.

00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:27.452
We'll see Long series, though, first to four, though First to four.

00:08:27.512 --> 00:08:28.827
First to four, first to four.

00:08:28.827 --> 00:08:32.581
Okay, luka is ailing a little bit, all right, I guess.

00:08:32.581 --> 00:08:33.866
Yeah, diego, go ahead, my man.

00:08:35.046 --> 00:08:36.842
Yeah, maybe you guys shouldn't have made the Luka trade man.

00:08:36.842 --> 00:08:37.105
Who knows?

00:08:37.184 --> 00:08:37.606
All right.

00:08:37.606 --> 00:08:48.322
Well, we're back to this again.

00:08:48.322 --> 00:08:50.168
I saying did we know that his stomach would screw up in a big playoff moment?

00:08:50.168 --> 00:08:51.532
No, we did not, and in other games he has carried us.

00:08:51.532 --> 00:08:56.726
Now I do think that we did underestimate the timberwolves and we really I feel like we were looking so far ahead.

00:08:56.726 --> 00:09:05.471
The lakers and five meme, all that kind of yeah, I feel like jace us a little bit, but you know well, hey, let's see yeah, yeah, that whole lakers and five there, there were a lot of people saying that and yeah, it's been a little bit.

00:09:05.414 --> 00:09:05.778
But you know well, hey, let's see.

00:09:05.778 --> 00:09:13.605
Yeah, yeah, that whole lakers and five there, there were a lot of people saying that and yeah, it's been a little rough yeah, but a lot of people saying lakers and five, just not gonna lie about that.

00:09:13.605 --> 00:09:17.875
But for sure, for sure.

00:09:17.875 --> 00:09:19.099
All right, my man.

00:09:19.099 --> 00:09:20.402
Well, yeah, hey, you know I.

00:09:20.402 --> 00:09:22.865
It's once been said defense wins championships.

00:09:23.125 --> 00:09:27.731
I mean offense, and having one of the greatest players of all time definitely helps too.

00:09:28.232 --> 00:09:28.793
Let's see.

00:09:28.793 --> 00:09:31.624
But hey, LeBron, did he put up some big numbers last night?

00:09:31.644 --> 00:09:33.490
What did he do Like 38, right?

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:37.285
Yeah, 38, hit back-to-back threes and I was like, oh, we have a chance.

00:09:37.285 --> 00:09:41.385
And then, yeah, it just all fell apart, all fell apart.

00:09:41.446 --> 00:09:45.653
But now with five minutes left, because it was a tie game, it was With five minutes left.

00:09:45.653 --> 00:09:54.787
It was anybody's game, that was a game that it looked like the Lakers might pull off because they overall weren't playing well and it was tied with five minutes left.

00:09:54.787 --> 00:09:56.139
That's one you definitely want to steal.

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:57.927
But credit to Ant-Man.

00:09:57.927 --> 00:10:02.167
He hit a huge three coming out of that timeout and they didn't look back.

00:10:02.607 --> 00:10:06.975
And coming out of that timeout and they didn't look back and my thing I really want to.

00:10:06.975 --> 00:10:08.418
I was thinking about this during the game.

00:10:08.418 --> 00:10:11.000
I was like we might have to start giving Ant a legend killer nickname, because this is starting to get crazy.

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:19.510
I mean, what he did to KD, what he's now doing to LeBron and Luka, it's getting scary and I like that moment in between where Ant is laughing with LeBron.

00:10:19.510 --> 00:10:21.167
It felt like a passing of the torch.

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:29.221
Now I felt like a passing of the torch.

00:10:29.221 --> 00:10:29.623
Now I still want to.

00:10:29.623 --> 00:10:30.365
I still want to be the timberwolves.

00:10:30.365 --> 00:10:33.193
So we can't, you know, get a little too fresh, but I definitely, I'm definitely excited for the rest of this series.

00:10:33.193 --> 00:10:34.116
All right, all right, okay, oh, you know what?

00:10:34.116 --> 00:10:35.038
So I'm gonna extend the same offer to you.

00:10:35.038 --> 00:10:43.187
Okay, same offer to you that I sent to the other again, I'm feeling very generous with our crowd here tonight, okay, so I'm gonna extend the offer to you my One time.

00:10:43.187 --> 00:10:51.408
You can go ahead and change your pick, so you can get off the Lakers train and you can pick somebody else to win the championship you want to take it.

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:58.812
You know I think apologies, lakers.

00:10:58.812 --> 00:11:00.822
In six we are going to the championship.

00:11:00.822 --> 00:11:01.885
We're winning this whole thing.

00:11:01.885 --> 00:11:02.427
Let's go.

00:11:03.068 --> 00:11:04.692
All right, six games, baby.

00:11:04.692 --> 00:11:06.745
I'm trying to help y'all.

00:11:07.921 --> 00:11:10.403
We're sticking with our teams, man, we have faith in our teams.

00:11:10.403 --> 00:11:12.961
I think that's a good trait to have Sticking with your teams, all right.

00:11:13.001 --> 00:11:28.120
Well, both of you guys may or may not be bounced out of the first round, but I know who will not be bounced out of the first round Me and my guy Julian Hay.

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:28.741
Me and my guy julian hay.

00:11:28.741 --> 00:11:33.815
I know he is not going to be bounced out of the first round, so I tell you what let's go ahead and bring in my man uh, boston celtics.

00:11:33.815 --> 00:11:39.330
Uh, guru, I will say, okay, spent a lot of time in boston, I believe he was born in boston to he'll school us on that.

00:11:39.330 --> 00:11:45.010
I don't think there's anybody anybody more knowledgeable about boston, especially the Boston Celtics.

00:11:45.010 --> 00:11:48.123
So let's bring our guy Julian Peguillon.

00:11:48.123 --> 00:11:49.966
Yes, here we go.

00:11:49.966 --> 00:11:59.164
Yeah, I got some cup.

00:11:59.164 --> 00:12:00.965
Yeah, see, we're flanking y'all.

00:12:00.965 --> 00:12:07.227
We're on the corners here, all right, yeah, you have to go ahead and put my chain on for the team that I picked.

00:12:07.227 --> 00:12:09.413
All right, all right, yes.

00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:15.442
Cavs all year, but all of a sudden playoffs comes around and the Cavs are actually playing really well in their series.

00:12:15.442 --> 00:12:16.384
That's all I'm saying.

00:12:17.144 --> 00:12:17.544
Yeah they are.

00:12:17.544 --> 00:12:19.746
It happened yesterday, man you want to talk about yesterday?

00:12:19.767 --> 00:12:21.188
Yeah, well, we'll talk about it.

00:12:21.188 --> 00:12:22.990
We're going to give it to our guy, Julian.

00:12:22.990 --> 00:12:24.211
See, I can sit back.

00:12:24.211 --> 00:12:25.494
We've got the expert.

00:12:25.494 --> 00:12:27.275
First of all, welcome to the show.

00:12:27.296 --> 00:12:27.956
Thanks for having me.

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:29.182
Thanks for having me.

00:12:29.221 --> 00:12:32.951
So yeah, it's going to be predictable what's going to happen in the playoffs.

00:12:32.951 --> 00:12:39.124
Boston's going to come out of the East, right, the Lakers are not going to get out of the first round.

00:12:39.124 --> 00:12:42.349
I could tell, even when he was saying that he really didn't believe it.

00:12:42.349 --> 00:12:45.735
You can look at him and tell he really didn't believe that and that's okay.

00:12:45.735 --> 00:12:47.768
I understand he's got the hat on, he's got to represent.

00:12:47.768 --> 00:12:51.729
But Celtics are going to be, you know, coming out of the East.

00:12:51.729 --> 00:12:54.544
Cavaliers look good, can't dismiss them.

00:12:54.544 --> 00:12:57.782
But we've got experience, we've been here before.

00:12:57.782 --> 00:13:02.745
It's just getting to the point, to where it's money time in the finals.

00:13:02.745 --> 00:13:03.706
Eastern Conference finals.

00:13:03.886 --> 00:13:05.048
All right yeah yeah.

00:13:05.048 --> 00:13:06.769
Yeah, I agree, I agree.

00:13:06.769 --> 00:13:11.072
Now, tatum took a bad fall and you know he has that wrist injury.

00:13:11.072 --> 00:13:13.054
But how did he look in game?

00:13:13.054 --> 00:13:16.397
They listed him as doubtful again, but I guess he surprised everybody in play.

00:13:16.397 --> 00:13:17.301
What's?

00:13:17.321 --> 00:13:17.923
your take on that.

00:13:17.923 --> 00:13:18.587
So he sat out game two.

00:13:18.587 --> 00:13:19.783
They took care of business.

00:13:19.783 --> 00:13:20.225
Anyway.

00:13:20.225 --> 00:13:21.403
He did play in game three.

00:13:21.403 --> 00:13:23.648
I think he had like 36 for the game.

00:13:23.648 --> 00:13:25.940
So, um, but you know, orlando came out.

00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:28.546
It was their first game in orlando, right, um.

00:13:28.546 --> 00:13:30.951
So they came out a little extra aggressive, um.

00:13:30.951 --> 00:13:32.684
So you know we didn't take that game.

00:13:32.684 --> 00:13:37.201
So we're up to one in the series, but it's all about just winning four.

00:13:37.201 --> 00:13:42.201
You know what I mean doesn't have to be a sweep, it's all about just getting first team to four wins.

00:13:42.201 --> 00:13:42.861
That's true.

00:13:42.861 --> 00:13:44.586
Goes to now into the next round, that's true.

00:13:44.927 --> 00:13:52.851
So I picked the Boston Celtics to win the championship this year, but for this round one I felt they would have a little bit of bump.

00:13:52.851 --> 00:13:56.284
I didn't know that Tatum would hurt his wrist, but I picked them to win.

00:13:56.284 --> 00:13:58.849
I just had a funny feeling they were going to win this first round in six.

00:13:58.849 --> 00:14:07.331
So that's what I was on record for there, and now that they dropped one, you know maybe five, six, but I don't see it going past six.

00:14:07.551 --> 00:14:08.673
I don't see it going past six.

00:14:08.673 --> 00:14:10.534
Honestly, I don't see it going past five.

00:14:10.534 --> 00:14:15.688
Okay, you know it's mathematics.

00:14:15.688 --> 00:14:17.172
I mean, you take care of home court.

00:14:17.172 --> 00:14:20.365
They did that Right.

00:14:20.365 --> 00:14:21.690
You get one away in Orlando.

00:14:21.690 --> 00:14:23.325
We got two more shots at that.

00:14:23.325 --> 00:14:23.787
That's right.

00:14:23.787 --> 00:14:26.280
You know what I mean.

00:14:26.701 --> 00:14:28.927
And then you come back home wrap it up.

00:14:28.927 --> 00:14:34.207
So who do you have the Boston Celtics playing in the Eastern Conference Finals and who do you have them playing in the championship?

00:14:34.207 --> 00:14:35.525
Take us all the way through.

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:36.061
Yeah.

00:14:36.061 --> 00:14:38.907
So in the Eastern Conference Finals it's going to be Cleveland.

00:14:38.907 --> 00:14:41.572
Okay, cleveland is tough, they're up 3-0 right now.

00:14:41.572 --> 00:14:44.909
When it's tough, they're up 3-0 right now they're killing Miami, so that will probably be a sweep.

00:14:44.909 --> 00:14:50.928
So we'll get through Orlando and, to be honest with you, it may be a little touch and go.

00:14:52.201 --> 00:14:54.647
Boston is kind of like that old, reliable car.

00:14:54.647 --> 00:14:57.346
It doesn't look too pretty sometimes but they get the job done.

00:14:57.346 --> 00:15:01.365
So even if Orlando does go 6, we'll come out of that.

00:15:01.365 --> 00:15:04.706
We'll probably face New York in round 2.

00:15:04.706 --> 00:15:07.967
That'll be fun because we always enjoy beating up on the Knicks.

00:15:07.967 --> 00:15:14.207
That will probably be a sweep, just because we enjoy we get up for New York and taking them out and bringing them misery.

00:15:14.207 --> 00:15:21.967
So take care of New York and then it'll be on to Cleveland in the finals, eastern Conference finals, I think with Cleveland that'll probably go 7.

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:27.605
Because Cleveland is they played us tough all year Right, it's a bona fide team.

00:15:27.605 --> 00:15:29.311
You know top to bottom on their roster.

00:15:29.311 --> 00:15:30.865
Donovan Mitchell is a beast.

00:15:30.865 --> 00:15:34.008
So that'll probably go six or seven games.

00:15:34.008 --> 00:15:38.440
But I think we'll come out in the end again with the experience right.

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:47.448
And then in the finals, in the NBA finals, it's going to be OKC, okc is they're killing it out there.

00:15:47.448 --> 00:15:51.068
So I think that series will also go seven.

00:15:51.068 --> 00:15:55.188
I think we're going to repeat as champs.

00:15:55.188 --> 00:16:01.679
Okc, as good as they are, they don't have experience on their side.

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:08.354
So for that I think we got the advantage in that series to come out and repeat.

00:16:08.354 --> 00:16:12.663
I can't speak for next year, but for this year.

00:16:12.663 --> 00:16:13.807
That's how it's going to go down.

00:16:14.248 --> 00:16:16.352
Okay, wow, that'll be something.

00:16:16.352 --> 00:16:19.509
Yeah, that's exactly what I picked, okc and the Celtics.

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:22.381
That's not going to happen because they've got to get past the Warriors.

00:16:22.381 --> 00:16:25.184
Yeah, and Jason Tatum.

00:16:25.184 --> 00:16:28.227
He scored 36, but he could have easily scored like 50.

00:16:28.227 --> 00:16:32.932
Because late in the game all he was shooting was step-back threes, Step-back three after step-back three.

00:16:32.932 --> 00:16:33.993
He kept missing them.

00:16:33.993 --> 00:16:37.014
It was like I mean like, keep trying something, Just try something different.

00:16:37.014 --> 00:16:42.062
Yeah, Like they could have easily won that game but, he just kept taking too many bad shots.

00:16:42.082 --> 00:16:45.049
He does take a lot of bad shots and they were missing Drew Holiday, so that was a big piece.

00:16:45.049 --> 00:16:49.567
They still could have easily won if Tatum took better shots.

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.024
You know how it is with Boston.

00:16:51.024 --> 00:16:56.167
Sometimes, when you know you're better than your opponent, sometimes you play with your food.

00:16:56.908 --> 00:16:57.750
That's what he was doing.

00:16:58.321 --> 00:16:59.144
They play with their food.

00:16:59.144 --> 00:17:00.369
So they dropped one in Orlando.

00:17:00.369 --> 00:17:07.310
I think they only lost by two points, so it could have gone either way, right down to the wire.

00:17:07.310 --> 00:17:08.519
But again, orlando's not going to be an issue.

00:17:08.538 --> 00:17:09.785
Yeah, they got to watch that.

00:17:09.785 --> 00:17:13.371
They got to watch playing with their food, because they might lose one of these series doing that.

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.884
Yeah, but you know it's always.

00:17:14.884 --> 00:17:16.851
You know, depends on who you're playing.

00:17:16.851 --> 00:17:19.119
So they get up for certain teams.

00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.366
So it's not that they disrespect Orlando.

00:17:21.366 --> 00:17:26.856
They disrespect Orlando, yes, but they pretty much, you know, feel like they're the better team and they can get through Orlando.

00:17:26.856 --> 00:17:29.365
Okay, I think they'll be more excited to play the Knicks.

00:17:29.365 --> 00:17:35.190
Yes, just because it's New York, I agree, and we love to put our foot on the necks of New Yorkers, I agree.

00:17:35.190 --> 00:17:40.372
Right, so I think you know you'll see the level of play increase for round two.

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.564
And then certainly Cleveland.

00:17:51.564 --> 00:17:52.891
You got to take him seriously, all right, yeah, okay, all right.

00:17:52.891 --> 00:17:54.016
Well, I'm going to get you out of here on this one.

00:17:54.016 --> 00:17:54.859
Got one final question for you, okay?

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.102
Miss Olivia live under par.

00:17:59.102 --> 00:17:59.963
Does she get her golf game from you?

00:17:59.963 --> 00:18:01.228
So of course she gets all of her good traits from me, right?

00:18:01.228 --> 00:18:12.311
I mean, that's how it works in our household, so I'm gonna say yes to that, even though I've never picked up a golf club and swung, but of course she gets her talent from me all right, all right, all right.

00:18:12.352 --> 00:18:16.761
Well, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for Mr Julian Heggy.

00:18:16.761 --> 00:18:17.982
Yes, thank you.

00:18:17.982 --> 00:18:37.160
Thank you, all right, all right, all right, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to move on to our next topic.

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:44.631
We are going to move on to Power Slap, but before we do that, we've got a quick intro to play here.

00:18:44.631 --> 00:18:59.340
All right here we go too easy.

00:18:59.340 --> 00:19:01.281
What's good, Tim Farris?

00:19:02.182 --> 00:19:07.402
Jordan, we're going to win them all.

00:19:07.402 --> 00:19:10.102
I pick them like a pro Global triumph ball.

00:19:10.102 --> 00:19:11.022
Talk a big and roll.

00:19:11.022 --> 00:19:13.182
We're going to up the score, touchdown.

00:19:13.182 --> 00:19:14.603
This is not a field goal.

00:19:14.603 --> 00:19:16.542
We, the winning team Champions.

00:19:16.542 --> 00:19:17.682
We the rock, we the rock.

00:19:35.164 --> 00:19:40.631
All right, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Devin Jenkins.

00:19:40.631 --> 00:19:49.359
Yes, all right.

00:19:50.221 --> 00:19:50.761
What's good?

00:19:51.006 --> 00:19:53.314
My man, my man, we're finally doing this, man.

00:19:54.505 --> 00:20:15.991
Yeah, man, I've been excited to talk about this, you know, let people know what's going on yeah, yeah, you're so, man, the uh sport of power slap is uh must watch tv is the fastest growing sport out there right now and, uh, you are clearly doing your thing in the sport, so we're really excited to learn more about power slap through you.

00:20:15.991 --> 00:20:28.653
Um, but uh, now we have an autographed jersey here, so everybody that has a following, devin uh, we are going to pull a name here at the end of devin's segment and one of you will get his autographed jersey here.

00:20:28.653 --> 00:20:30.326
Okay, so we're going to pull that at the end.

00:20:30.326 --> 00:20:32.912
But, um, again, one of the fastest growing sports.

00:20:32.912 --> 00:20:37.611
Just tell us how did you get into this sport of powerslap and you know what was.

00:20:37.611 --> 00:20:39.895
What was your reaction when you saw your first?

00:20:39.936 --> 00:20:40.156
mat.

00:20:40.156 --> 00:20:53.272
I would say I got into it the same way that most people got into it like Instagram or most people see it on Instagram right, and I was just sitting on the couch one day.

00:20:53.272 --> 00:20:54.769
I was like man, I could do this.

00:20:54.769 --> 00:20:59.636
I was like I have a background of powerlifting national powerlifter.

00:20:59.636 --> 00:21:07.849
I played juco basketball, I was in the military, so I was like looking at the way people were doing the sport and I was like this could be done better.

00:21:07.849 --> 00:21:08.311
Yeah.

00:21:08.525 --> 00:21:10.184
And I was like I know I could do it better.

00:21:10.184 --> 00:21:12.673
So that's kind of what intrigued me about it the most.

00:21:12.673 --> 00:21:15.271
Plus, I like contact sports.

00:21:15.845 --> 00:21:16.086
Okay.

00:21:16.425 --> 00:21:16.686
Yeah.

00:21:18.050 --> 00:21:23.134
So do you remember the hardest slap you took and what was your most satisfying slap?

00:21:24.925 --> 00:21:28.415
I would say that I haven't taken my most hardest slap yet.

00:21:28.415 --> 00:21:37.143
Most of the stuff is, honestly, it looks worse than what it really is, and I would say that my competitors, they need to step up their game a little bit.

00:21:37.143 --> 00:21:38.833
Most of the time I'm just getting fouled Like I've been hit in the neck, I've been jam is, and I would say that my competitors and they need to step up their game a little bit.

00:21:38.833 --> 00:21:46.791
Most of the time I'm just getting fouled like I've been hitting the neck, I've been jammed in the eye, I've been hit palm first and all of those are fouls, right, okay.

00:21:46.791 --> 00:21:51.147
So I'm still waiting for, like, the hardest hit.

00:21:51.147 --> 00:21:53.112
You know I still don't think I've got it yet.

00:21:53.112 --> 00:22:00.016
And as far as satisfying one, um, I'm still working on my technique a little bit, you know.

00:22:00.016 --> 00:22:12.835
So once I get my technique down, like I've gotten it from the first time I competed until now, big difference and I think that once I get a first-round knockout, that will be my most satisfying slap.

00:22:12.835 --> 00:22:13.777
It ain't happened yet.

00:22:14.218 --> 00:22:16.751
Okay, okay, we'll be watching for that.

00:22:16.751 --> 00:22:27.473
So you know you mentioned that you haven't taken your hardest slap yet and you know we see your training videos on instagram and you're doing some insane training and working out with your neck.

00:22:27.473 --> 00:22:30.105
We see you pulling, pulling weight with your neck, and all of that.

00:22:30.105 --> 00:22:36.714
You know how much would you attribute that to you not taking your hardest slap, so to speak?

00:22:37.596 --> 00:22:41.320
um, I would say the training is the most important thing.

00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:51.854
Um, yeah, I wish we had some of those videos and be training with my neck and slinging around kettlebells and stuff like that, yes um, but how does that apply?

00:22:51.913 --> 00:22:53.998
to yeah, does that?

00:22:53.998 --> 00:22:58.744
Does that allow the the slap to not really impact you as much because of all the training?

00:22:58.944 --> 00:22:59.887
definitely, definitely.

00:22:59.887 --> 00:23:03.945
Your training in any sport is the most important thing and the thing that protects you.

00:23:03.945 --> 00:23:18.126
And, because of the neck training and the jaw training that I do, um, and a lot of core training also, um, being able to brace, stabilize your head and neck, that's like a big part of the defense.

00:23:18.288 --> 00:23:39.104
Okay, uh, yeah, that's why I ain't got it yet, okay okay, because when you, when you take, when you take the slap, right you, I know like you may want to turn your neck, but what, what can you and what, what can't you not do when you're taking this, when you're taking the slap, as far as turning so on your neck, you can't turn and you can't like raise your shoulders, you can't do anything that affects the slap so far as turning, so on your net.

00:23:39.046 --> 00:23:41.813
You can't turn and you can't like raise your shoulders, you can't do anything that affects the slap.

00:23:41.813 --> 00:23:53.912
So, as I'm coming, if you raise your shoulders and I hit that first, or if you bring your head away, that's um a flinching foul right and it kind of is childish in a way, which that's the part that I like about it.

00:23:53.912 --> 00:24:00.965
You get two for flinching, so, but then you would go to get a hit again if you uh, flinched okay.

00:24:01.307 --> 00:24:02.590
Wow, that that's amazing.

00:24:02.590 --> 00:24:03.314
That's amazing, okay.

00:24:03.314 --> 00:24:07.005
So with that then, um, also, I think, many people.

00:24:07.005 --> 00:24:14.970
Another rumor is that most people probably think that the match ends with somebody getting knocked out, but that's not true.

00:24:14.970 --> 00:24:17.755
It can go to judge a scorecard like a boxing match.

00:24:17.755 --> 00:24:18.977
You want to explain that a little bit.

00:24:19.357 --> 00:24:20.200
Yeah, definitely.

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:25.115
At the end, Say that one more time.

00:24:25.625 --> 00:24:30.817
So in like a I think a lot of people think with power slap that it ends with somebody getting knocked out.

00:24:30.817 --> 00:24:31.285
Right.

00:24:31.285 --> 00:24:31.645
Right.

00:24:31.645 --> 00:24:32.669
A lot of times it doesn't.

00:24:32.669 --> 00:24:37.240
Can you kind of explain what happens when you go through the rounds and both people are still standing?

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:43.653
so there's a scorecard, okay, and um, also fouls, depending on how many fouls you got.

00:24:43.653 --> 00:24:54.288
So say, if you did two fouls and you're still standing at the end of it, right, that could go against your final scorecard not sure, not sure.

00:24:54.469 --> 00:24:55.069
Tell you what let's.

00:24:55.069 --> 00:24:56.432
Let's take our question.

00:24:56.432 --> 00:25:01.137
We have someone here in the audience and then we'll go to Diego's, so yeah.

00:25:01.137 --> 00:25:03.662
What goes through your mind.

00:25:03.662 --> 00:25:08.130
Let's turn mic four up a little bit here we go Okay.

00:25:08.490 --> 00:25:12.057
What goes through your mind right before you slap someone as hard as you can?

00:25:14.945 --> 00:25:18.152
I would say I'm not really focused on them.

00:25:18.152 --> 00:25:21.719
I'm focused on what I'm supposed to do, training wise.

00:25:21.719 --> 00:25:30.993
Like I'm focusing on, uh, clenching and biting down into my mouthpiece and also bracing my core and watching like their hand as it approaches my face.

00:25:30.993 --> 00:25:35.076
Like all of it comes down to like a split timing decision.

00:25:35.076 --> 00:25:38.671
So that's what I'm focusing on, like doing my training.

00:25:38.671 --> 00:25:47.654
So it happens naturally, no problem, thank you what's your music playlist?

00:25:47.714 --> 00:25:49.780
like before you get ready for battle?

00:25:49.780 --> 00:25:51.404
Like are you like what's getting you hype?

00:25:52.205 --> 00:25:56.951
so I, I listen to all kinds of music honestly.

00:25:56.951 --> 00:26:13.175
Honestly, might shock you a little bit, but, like right before, I'm listening to like some Sade, like Erykah Badu, like something very smooth, right, I don't want to be amped the whole time, right, and I just want that adrenaline to come out at the time that I need it.

00:26:13.175 --> 00:26:15.045
So it's like smooth listening.

00:26:15.045 --> 00:26:17.527
So it's like smooth listening, like during my training.

00:26:17.527 --> 00:26:24.474
I may listen to like some, some like harder stuff, you know, like hip hop, rap, like even rock.

00:26:24.474 --> 00:26:27.857
Sometimes it just depends on what kind of mood I'm in.

00:26:27.857 --> 00:26:30.801
That's, that's what the music kind of determines.

00:26:34.105 --> 00:26:42.369
Yeah, yeah, I feel you because that was the same way with me when I, when I play ball, I listen to something calm and cool, like because I was already amped, so I was trying to get myself calmed down.

00:26:42.369 --> 00:26:47.009
So that's what the premier athletes like me and Devin, that's what we do, man.

00:26:47.751 --> 00:26:48.915
Might be just Devin, I don't know.

00:26:53.365 --> 00:27:06.376
So, devin, you know, would you say that there are people out there that still take that, don't take power slap seriously, and what are some of the myths out there in the world of power slap?

00:27:08.526 --> 00:27:19.173
I would say, when you don't understand something, then you know you may have a fear about it, and the more that you know, the more that you understand, the more enjoyable it becomes.

00:27:19.173 --> 00:27:26.814
So if you're looking at it and like, ah yeah, it's just two people up there slapping each other, then of course you're like, ah, this is stupid, right, right.

00:27:26.814 --> 00:27:31.829
But if you're looking like, oh man, how is he going to set up to to strike this person?

00:27:31.829 --> 00:27:39.721
Is he going to use more of like how a baseball player would set up right in a wide stance, or like a golf stance, like more narrow, right?

00:27:39.721 --> 00:27:45.166
Is he going to throw his hand with like a straight hand or is it going to be like a bent arm or like?

00:27:45.166 --> 00:27:53.211
There's so many intricate details to the sport and once you understand those, just like you do football or basketball or boxing, because you understand the rules so much.

00:27:53.211 --> 00:27:55.296
That's why it's entertaining, got you?

00:27:55.436 --> 00:27:55.696
Okay.

00:27:56.486 --> 00:27:56.746
Great.

00:27:56.967 --> 00:28:03.948
If you had a power, slap, dream match between like celebrities, other athletes or whoever, who would it be between?

00:28:04.328 --> 00:28:05.633
Wait, am I slapping them?

00:28:05.633 --> 00:28:08.490
I mean it could be Okay If I'm slapping them.

00:28:08.490 --> 00:28:13.834
I say the rock, I would like to go against the rock.

00:28:13.834 --> 00:28:15.932
That would be interesting.

00:28:15.932 --> 00:28:17.730
Slap that ball head.

00:28:17.730 --> 00:28:23.045
We both ball, make it happen.

00:28:23.045 --> 00:28:30.346
Um, as far as seeing two other people slap each other, like in my, in my division, I don't, I don't really care to see that either.

00:28:30.346 --> 00:28:34.657
Um, I guess that's that's kind of it about that one man.

00:28:34.657 --> 00:28:43.392
I don't really want to see anybody else get slapped, unless it's for sport, unless you're in there, you're getting paid, you're getting money, then it's cool.

00:28:43.392 --> 00:28:52.548
I don't know about the rest of it, yeah All right, what's your mindset right before a match?

00:28:52.950 --> 00:28:58.448
We know, okay, you're listening to Sade, you're listening to something smooth, kind of calming down a little bit.

00:28:58.448 --> 00:29:08.394
But right, when you, when you step into the arena there and you know they're determining who's going to slap first, just what's your, what's your mindset going in?

00:29:08.473 --> 00:29:33.122
Very internal, like internal dialogue with myself, positive self-talk, telling myself I can do this and going over like, uh, my technique and things like that, um, not really focused on the crowd or booze or anything that I've heard like that, it's really like locked in the best way to describe it um, and I think that helps me perform.

00:29:33.122 --> 00:29:38.759
So it doesn't matter what environment I'm in, I'm always having that good, positive dialogue.

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:39.622
Yeah.

00:29:41.008 --> 00:29:41.269
Cool.

00:29:41.269 --> 00:29:44.217
So what's something people would be surprised to know about you?

00:29:47.750 --> 00:29:48.936
like outside of the ring or stage.

00:29:48.936 --> 00:29:53.310
I mean there's a couple things I'd say.

00:29:53.310 --> 00:29:57.838
I was in the military right so I did a couple deployments to Afghanistan.

00:29:57.838 --> 00:30:02.891
I was a combat engineer, which basically.

00:30:02.891 --> 00:30:05.115
You ever seen that movie Hurt Locker before?

00:30:06.237 --> 00:30:06.938
I haven't seen that one.

00:30:07.558 --> 00:30:07.920
You seen that?

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:08.079
Yeah.

00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:09.309
Yeah, you seen the Hurt Locker?

00:30:09.309 --> 00:30:09.586
Yeah.

00:30:09.586 --> 00:30:22.770
So that's kind of what I did, like finding explosives, ieds, and then, on the other end of the spectrum, you ever heard of those like silver sneakers classes, right, like group fitness classes yes.

00:30:22.770 --> 00:30:24.991
I used to instruct those right.

00:30:24.991 --> 00:30:25.212
Okay.

00:30:25.464 --> 00:30:35.499
So I've been in the fitness space for a really long time doing everything from group fitness, you know, like the body scope, you know you're doing weights and stuff like that.

00:30:35.499 --> 00:30:37.548
Yes, yeah, With all the moms and stuff.

00:30:37.548 --> 00:30:39.555
I'd be in there in my hot shorts and long socks.

00:30:39.555 --> 00:30:42.269
Honestly getting it man.

00:30:42.269 --> 00:30:47.234
Yeah Right, A little bit of both ends of the spectrum, uh-huh, yeah, yeah.

00:30:48.047 --> 00:30:54.930
And you are a trainer, so you know how do you balance being a power slap athlete as well as being a trainer?

00:30:56.211 --> 00:31:01.757
Well, I've set a good training business for myself where I don't have to work as much.

00:31:01.757 --> 00:31:17.231
I pretty much work from like 5 am to like 2 pm and that's my day, and then that gives me a lot of time for myself, honestly, because it goes into my nutrition, my sleep regimen.

00:31:17.231 --> 00:31:34.204
So I take a lot of daytime naps, my training regimen, and then also, just like recovery, like I do a lot of stretching and massage and what else do I do, like leg compression boots?

00:31:34.204 --> 00:31:42.605
Yeah, the recovery aspect is one of the biggest parts and that does take up a lot of time.

00:31:42.605 --> 00:32:01.209
But also I hope to by leading by example, you know, doing all those things myself that I inspire my clients to also be like, hey, I mean, he's doing it, he's not having me do nothing that he's not doing himself Right, and and uh, you know, help them get closer to their goals so what's your?

00:32:01.329 --> 00:32:07.069
what's your ultimate speaking of goals, what's your ultimate goal in this, uh, sport of power?

00:32:07.089 --> 00:32:31.226
slap ultimate goal for you well, being number one, all right, really, that's all that matters to me right now being number one in my sport and the accolades that comes with that and the recognition that comes with that, and holding that for as long as I can, but also leaving the sport better than when I started so that the athletes are understanding about all of these things that you have to do.

00:32:31.226 --> 00:32:34.734
The nutrition, the sleep that's what makes a well-rounded athlete.

00:32:34.734 --> 00:32:36.951
It's it's not just getting up there and slapping somebody.

00:32:36.951 --> 00:32:39.023
Or you know, if you play basketball shooting, it's not just getting up there and slapping somebody.

00:32:39.023 --> 00:32:44.730
Or you know, if you play basketball shooting, and it's not just you know football, it's everything Right.

00:32:45.413 --> 00:32:47.929
All right, well, we understand.

00:32:47.929 --> 00:32:53.944
You have an autographed jersey that we're going to give away, so we'd love to give that away.

00:32:53.944 --> 00:32:56.231
So can we get the raffle bucket?

00:32:56.231 --> 00:33:04.976
Bring that on up, jamila, and meanwhile, while we do that, you know what Can you?

00:33:04.976 --> 00:33:08.054
Can we do a little demonstration For?

00:33:08.074 --> 00:33:08.255
sure.

00:33:09.305 --> 00:33:12.675
Come on, y'all want to see a demonstration how PowerSnap works?

00:33:12.675 --> 00:33:16.193
Come on, let's get on up here.

00:33:16.193 --> 00:33:16.996
Let's get on up here.

00:33:16.996 --> 00:33:31.057
Yeah, we'll just sit that right there come on, diego where's the other mic?

00:33:31.157 --> 00:33:31.999
you got the other mic there.

00:33:31.999 --> 00:33:33.260
You know the mic here.

00:33:33.260 --> 00:33:34.846
All right, okay.

00:33:34.846 --> 00:33:37.867
So let's see, devin, why don't you't you?

00:33:37.867 --> 00:33:38.608
Let's go here.

00:33:38.608 --> 00:33:42.651
Diego, come over here, all right, yeah, over here, over here, all right, so they can see on camera.

00:33:42.651 --> 00:33:43.471
Okay.

00:33:43.471 --> 00:33:45.532
So, all right, we're up here now.

00:33:45.532 --> 00:33:48.955
I understand that they have to have a stick behind your back, okay.

00:33:48.955 --> 00:33:52.998
You have to put your shoulders down.

00:33:52.998 --> 00:33:53.198
Okay.

00:33:59.825 --> 00:34:01.692
Shoulders have to be down, okay, right.

00:34:01.692 --> 00:34:07.674
Chin has to be neutral right here, all right, and your hips have to be slightly touching.

00:34:07.674 --> 00:34:10.034
There's a little podium between us, right, okay.

00:34:10.034 --> 00:34:18.335
So that's what they'll have you touching there, and, as me, the striker, they'll ask me what hand and count that I want to go on.

00:34:18.335 --> 00:34:24.394
Usually, I go on one, oh, and that's like you measure, right, you get a good measure.

00:34:24.394 --> 00:34:24.844
I don't have no time.

00:34:24.844 --> 00:34:30.635
You get a measure in, oh, and then from here I'm going boom, ah, that's one right, okay.

00:34:31.105 --> 00:34:33.791
Or you could do two or three and that would be like you do two.

00:34:33.791 --> 00:34:35.637
Yeah and then go on the third one.

00:34:35.697 --> 00:34:42.969
Okay Now, and I understand there's like three people behind the person that's getting slapped.

00:34:43.251 --> 00:34:44.871
Right, yeah, and those are the catchers.

00:34:44.871 --> 00:34:59.110
The catchers they're just to make sure that you know you don't fall incorrectly or anything like that, okay, but, as this person, what people don't see is they're bracing their core right and they're clenching down on the mouth guard.

00:34:59.110 --> 00:35:05.092
That's right, and they're kind of in just a small shrug of the shoulders and that helps protect the head.

00:35:05.092 --> 00:35:08.735
And a strong neck is really important, honestly.

00:35:08.735 --> 00:35:14.384
It helps keep you centered and that's the defense, right, so they're not just standing there taking a hit.

00:35:14.384 --> 00:35:17.454
It just happens so fast it's hard to see.

00:35:17.454 --> 00:35:23.233
And then we go back to me, the striker, right, yeah, um, I got my feet planted.

00:35:23.233 --> 00:35:25.559
We got to be parallel together, right, all right.

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:28.429
And then I say I'm going on one.

00:35:28.429 --> 00:35:33.980
He goes good, I get my measure right here, right, then I'll go here.

00:35:34.847 --> 00:35:45.074
boom, oh, okay, through, I can't pivot my foot right, oh, I have to leave my foot planted, which makes it hard because you usually pivot for power, right, like almost in every sport, right?

00:35:45.074 --> 00:35:56.206
Okay um, and I can't hit him palm first, so I can't go here, right, I have to hit hand and palm right at the same time.

00:35:56.206 --> 00:36:02.847
Okay, I have to hit below the eye here, yeah, and above the chin here and I can't hit your ear.

00:36:03.007 --> 00:36:10.175
So really it's this small yeah, yeah, that's a small target, yeah, golf side, golf ball size target that you're trying to hit with all your power.

00:36:10.175 --> 00:36:18.155
Okay, that's why it is difficult, because it takes accuracy, power and timing right, just like any other sport man, that's wild.

00:36:18.175 --> 00:36:18.717
That's wild.

00:36:18.717 --> 00:36:21.228
Do we have any volunteers to be my catcher?

00:36:21.228 --> 00:36:40.532
Y'all gonna be my catcher, y'all y'all wanna see me take a slap, okay, okay, I, I have a catcher, I have a catcher, all I have a catcher, all right, okay, well, let's go ahead and draw.

00:36:40.532 --> 00:36:43.793
So, diego, you want to come up and yeah, let's draw.

00:36:43.793 --> 00:36:55.036

296 0045.

Ooh, this jersey is going to be worth some money, so give it a couple years, it'll be worth some money.

00:37:16.686 --> 00:37:18.373
It's about to be number one, let's pick another one.

Man, that was wild.

00:39:05.690 --> 00:39:07.692
I think I could have taken that slap.

00:39:07.692 --> 00:39:09.331
Man, I really think I could have taken it.

00:39:09.331 --> 00:39:13.231
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there, we go, there we go.

00:39:13.231 --> 00:39:15.063
Yeah, yeah, I think I could have taken it.

00:39:15.063 --> 00:39:17.472
Yeah, d, you ain't that tough man.

00:39:17.472 --> 00:39:26.173
Yeah, yeah, all right, all right, okay, well, hey, y'all ready for Christopher Davis again?

00:39:26.173 --> 00:39:29.052
All right, you can do better than that.

00:39:29.052 --> 00:39:30.789
You ready for Christopher Davis again?

00:39:30.789 --> 00:39:33.476
Come on, come on, chris, come join us.

00:39:33.476 --> 00:39:37.164
Man, let's talk a little NFL NFL draft.

00:39:37.164 --> 00:39:39.469
All right, all right.

00:39:39.469 --> 00:39:42.193
So, man, wow, let's talk a little NFL NFL draft.

00:39:42.193 --> 00:39:43.215
All right, all right.

00:39:43.215 --> 00:39:45.559
So, man, wow, I think the draft has finally concluded.

00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:49.070
Yep, so, diego man, kick us off.

00:39:49.070 --> 00:39:51.673
Man, what happened with Shador Sanders?

00:39:51.673 --> 00:39:55.199
Man, I thought he was going top three first round.

00:39:59.885 --> 00:40:02.192
It ended up going round five pick 144 to the Cleveland cleveland browns.

00:40:02.192 --> 00:40:12.666
So that was a shocker, wow, yeah, I think I think nfl gm just wanted to, you know, humble him because he he came in, you know he had a lot of a lot of confidence, so did a, did some you know, controversial things, yeah, colorado.

00:40:12.666 --> 00:40:14.871
So uh, yeah, but he finally got picked.

00:40:14.871 --> 00:40:17.056
Okay, good for him finally got picked.

00:40:17.077 --> 00:40:18.668
So, chris, where did he go finally?

00:40:18.869 --> 00:40:26.177
He went to Cleveland and it's weird because they drafted a quarterback before him just to kind of like spite him.

00:40:26.177 --> 00:40:29.481
And then you see the coaches and the GM's face when they drafted her.

00:40:29.481 --> 00:40:31.994
It wasn't necessarily a face of excitement.

00:40:32.195 --> 00:40:54.900
Yeah so my whole thing is, even though the NFL did seek out to either humble him or humble Dion thing is, even though the NFL did seek out to either humble him or humble Dion, which I think is a very bad move PR wise by the NFL, because now everybody's gonna compare every rookie quarterback to what Schroeder could be or what Schroeder is gonna be, and again you now just lit a fire under one of the more confident players in the like in college football.

00:40:54.900 --> 00:40:58.954
So it's gonna be very exciting to see where his career comes, like, goes from here.

00:40:58.954 --> 00:41:02.255
But just watching the draft I was just in shock.

00:41:02.255 --> 00:41:03.628
Like there was like four or five teams.

00:41:03.628 --> 00:41:07.193
I was like y'all need a quarterback, y'all are just in spite of your team.

00:41:07.193 --> 00:41:10.956
And I have never heard of Tyler Shuck until, you know, yesterday.

00:41:10.956 --> 00:41:14.686
I don't know what happened with New Orleans and that, but that was crazy.

00:41:14.686 --> 00:41:15.726
Yeah, drafted a, but that was crazy.

00:41:15.947 --> 00:41:20.652
You're after a 26-year-old guy who only started 20 games in college.

00:41:20.652 --> 00:41:22.873
Yeah, that's wild yeah.

00:41:22.914 --> 00:41:23.474
That's wild.

00:41:23.474 --> 00:41:30.942
Yeah, I can't believe that there were so many other places that I thought he would go, and I'm shocked about the Steelers, though.

00:41:32.045 --> 00:41:32.606
The Steelers.

00:41:32.606 --> 00:41:35.916
The Steelers they got a quarterback in the sixth round, Will Howard.

00:41:35.916 --> 00:41:49.965
But it's like time and time again, and they were like the Steelers were like, oh, we had a good visit and all this other stuff, and then that just I don't know, I don't know if it was the GMs everybody just say like, hey, we're just going to wait to draft this guy so he can learn a lesson.

00:41:49.965 --> 00:41:54.829
But, if you're just doing that in spite of your team, I don't think that's good business for the NFL.

00:41:54.829 --> 00:41:55.389
I don't know.

00:41:55.650 --> 00:41:56.150
That's rough.

00:41:56.150 --> 00:41:56.831
That's rough.

00:41:56.831 --> 00:41:59.652
Well, let's transition to the Carolina Panthers.

00:41:59.652 --> 00:42:00.554
All right.

00:42:00.554 --> 00:42:04.818
So, man, you are both Carolina Panther homers.

00:42:04.818 --> 00:42:06.940
We got the Carolina Panther fans in the house.

00:42:06.940 --> 00:42:09.822
All right, come on, we are North Carolina.

00:42:09.822 --> 00:42:12.807
All right.

00:42:12.807 --> 00:42:15.536
So, diego, how would you rate the Panthers' performance?

00:42:16.016 --> 00:42:16.036
A.

00:42:16.036 --> 00:42:24.045
A performance from the carolina panthers getting tetsa rule of mcmillan in the first round, best receiver in the draft, and then getting two edge rushers.

00:42:24.045 --> 00:42:26.894
One of them's name is nick, the other one's name is princely.

00:42:26.894 --> 00:42:29.349
I forgot their last names just kind of learn them a little better.

00:42:29.349 --> 00:42:32.103
But I've seen their highlights, watched them in game.

00:42:32.103 --> 00:42:33.306
They're really good edge rushers.

00:42:33.306 --> 00:42:34.306
They're going to help us a lot.

00:42:34.306 --> 00:42:36.027
And, you know, got some other people.

00:42:36.027 --> 00:42:38.489
Got a receiver from Colorado, jimmy Horn Jr.

00:42:38.489 --> 00:42:41.353
You know got a lot of other good pieces.

00:42:41.353 --> 00:42:43.695
You know Got a D-tackle.

00:42:43.755 --> 00:42:45.096
I do like Jimmy Horn Jr.

00:42:45.096 --> 00:42:45.817
I like that.

00:42:45.817 --> 00:42:46.577
I like that piece.

00:42:46.577 --> 00:42:47.458
Admit to that.

00:42:47.458 --> 00:42:48.559
Okay, what about you, Chris?

00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:57.233
I'm giving her the B-plus because we didn't get corner help and that's been an issue, because again, we can have all the pass rush that we can have.

00:42:57.233 --> 00:43:02.112
We're just relying on JC back there and we already know how Diego and me feel about JC.

00:43:02.132 --> 00:43:05.592
So it's like ah, we got JC and we got Mike Jackson too.

00:43:05.592 --> 00:43:07.036
He's good, he's pretty good.

00:43:07.625 --> 00:43:13.666
So we don't need anybody else, and the fact that, like Tampa, just loaded up on like two very good wide receivers as well.

00:43:14.246 --> 00:43:19.411
Yes, they did, and JC was supposed to be so good that we don't need any corner help.

00:43:19.411 --> 00:43:19.931
We have JC.

00:43:19.931 --> 00:43:21.534
He's supposed to be so good.

00:43:21.534 --> 00:43:25.538
That's not true, we paid him like he was top tier.

00:43:26.237 --> 00:43:27.739
Okay, and how often does he get hurt?

00:43:27.739 --> 00:43:29.882
Like, let's just say, why do we pay him?

00:43:29.882 --> 00:43:33.393
We paid him because we're the Carolina Panthers and we needed to keep defensive talent.

00:43:33.393 --> 00:43:40.065
However, we still needed another corner, so it's a little dicey.

00:43:40.065 --> 00:43:40.606
So I would say b plus.

00:43:40.606 --> 00:43:48.193
I love the additions to the offense, I love us getting more pass rush, but we really I just wanted at least like one quarter and the safety we got is very good hard hitting.

00:43:48.193 --> 00:44:01.498
I appreciate that, but I felt like just one more quarter for depth would have been, would have made us an a plus draft yeah, yeah, I would have liked to have seen that, but but yeah, I like Horn Jr, I like that pick.

00:44:01.824 --> 00:44:05.074
But yeah, the others I'm going to have to see, I'm going to have to see.

00:44:05.244 --> 00:44:08.195
Yeah, I expect this to be a more hard-hitting team this year.

00:44:08.195 --> 00:44:09.871
Like run defense is going to be really good.

00:44:09.871 --> 00:44:22.048
You know, short passing game we should be able to cover, but the long passing game I mean JC is and game and jc is known to struggle in red zone, so we'll see about that, okay well, laguette did have, I think he had surgery.

00:44:22.268 --> 00:44:27.188
So hopefully you know we'll be catching those long balls and you'll be we drafted.

00:44:27.429 --> 00:44:30.655
We drafted a t-mac and we drafted horn jr.

00:44:30.655 --> 00:44:37.257
So I think we can trade okay we get you might need to get rid of them all right, all right, well, we will see.

00:44:37.518 --> 00:44:38.139
We will see.

00:44:38.139 --> 00:44:40.125
Well, we can't wait for the nfl season.

00:44:40.125 --> 00:44:46.217
The schedule is coming out in a few weeks so uh, yeah yes, yes, may 12th, may 12th.

00:47:32.474 --> 00:47:34.871
I've always been impressed by you.

00:47:34.871 --> 00:47:41.306
You've always just been great and always been impressed by you.

00:47:41.306 --> 00:47:44.114
You've always just been been great, um, and uh, yeah, I, diego knows it, everybody knows it.

00:47:44.114 --> 00:47:51.096
You know, I named you baby dion early on, uh, because I I see a lot in you, um, and you definitely have a great work ethic and it's a pleasure to have you here on the show.

00:47:51.096 --> 00:47:54.893
But uh, diego, I'm gonna kick it to you, man, for the first question jalen.

00:47:55.034 --> 00:47:59.215
So tell everyone a little bit about your journey and how you fell in love with the game of football.

00:48:00.065 --> 00:48:19.503
You know, it all started in the living room, man, with my parents and me watching the NFL superstars on the field on TV, and they realized that I was so focused in the game as a four or five-year-old you know and I was so focused in the game and I wanted to be there one day and started having fun with the game, started catching the ball, you know, yeah, started having fun with the game, started catching the ball.

00:48:19.523 --> 00:48:20.005
You know, yeah, Nice, nice.

00:48:20.005 --> 00:48:24.496
So again you play defensive back and you play wide receiver.

00:48:24.496 --> 00:48:29.615
Okay, what position would you say you enjoy more, if any?

00:48:31.168 --> 00:48:42.333
I enjoy defensive back more, you know, picking the ball off the quarterback and returning it to the house, and I've always loved playing defensive back, especially in my early days playing flag football, always having an eye for the quarterback, seeing what he's doing too.

00:48:42.353 --> 00:48:45.833
So yeah, okay, Well, you definitely take it to the house many times, yep.

00:48:47.885 --> 00:48:49.030
Going into next season.

00:48:49.030 --> 00:48:52.353
What part of your game are you working on your hardest to improve?

00:48:52.925 --> 00:49:10.565
I've been going to trainers with DB trainers having my footwork ready and hip movement and with DB trainers having my footwork ready and hip movement, and also being in the weight room strength, strength and conditioning coaches, you know, helping me get my strength up and for me on the field, getting my condition up so I don't get out of breath as easily, you know, so I can play the whole game all four quarters, yeah.

00:49:11.485 --> 00:49:16.971
Yeah, yeah, because you're on the field the whole time, so I know it definitely takes a lot of endurance to do that.

00:49:16.971 --> 00:49:23.952
So who are some of the NFL or even college players that you may look to and maybe model yourself after?

00:49:24.724 --> 00:49:30.371
Ever since middle school I always looked up to Jalen Ramsey cornerback, even in his Jacksonville Jaguars days.

00:49:30.371 --> 00:49:31.514
You know he was always that man.

00:49:31.514 --> 00:49:33.632
He could lock up anybody, any receiver he wanted to.

00:49:33.632 --> 00:49:36.849
Even at his Los Angeles days he was always that man, still top in the league.

00:49:36.849 --> 00:49:39.572
You know, and you know he was always that man, still top in the league.

00:49:39.572 --> 00:49:41.594
He was just always that guy who could guard anybody.

00:49:41.594 --> 00:49:42.617
And that's what I want to be.

00:49:42.617 --> 00:49:47.947
I look up to him, I can see that, yeah, I can see that.

00:49:47.967 --> 00:49:50.251
What's your mindset like going into a big game?

00:49:50.251 --> 00:49:53.878
Are there any pregame rituals or any music you listen to?

00:49:57.405 --> 00:49:58.635
I always have my beats on man, listen to rap, music, music.

00:49:58.635 --> 00:50:03.715
And when I do, in the locker room or even on the way to the game, I always tell myself man, nobody, none of these people can guard you.

00:50:03.715 --> 00:50:07.914
You can stick anybody on the on the field, whether they're tall or faster than you.

00:50:07.914 --> 00:50:10.389
I can always play with them, even play better than them.

00:50:10.429 --> 00:50:14.577
So yeah, yeah, now you go to ravenscroft.

00:50:14.577 --> 00:50:17.534
You know it's very challenging school, clearly, and you play three sports at ravenscroft.

00:50:17.534 --> 00:50:19.864
So you know is a very challenging school, clearly, and you play three sports at Ravenscroft.

00:50:19.864 --> 00:50:22.673
So, man, just how do you balance?

00:50:22.673 --> 00:50:25.472
And then in the summer, I know you're playing seven-on-seven in your training.

00:50:25.472 --> 00:50:26.777
You stay busy.

00:50:26.777 --> 00:50:30.965
So how do you balance academics and sports In?

00:50:31.007 --> 00:50:33.032
school I try to have all my homework done.

00:50:33.032 --> 00:50:37.206
Go to my teachers, ask them many questions on how I can get better at this and then I get help with the homework.

00:50:37.206 --> 00:50:39.427
Is asking many questions on how I can get better at this and then I get help with the homework.

00:50:39.427 --> 00:50:46.155
And then during practice or after practice, you know, I go home, finish that homework and then after that.

00:50:46.175 --> 00:50:53.043
I mean it's just a seven-day routine, man, always going to classes and teachers, you know.

00:50:53.043 --> 00:50:53.864
So, yeah, they really help me a lot man.

00:50:53.864 --> 00:50:54.847
Yeah, yeah, so you have a great support system.

00:50:54.847 --> 00:50:56.230
Yeah, Okay, really helped me a lot, man.

00:50:56.429 --> 00:50:58.695
Yeah, yeah, so you have a great support system.

00:50:58.695 --> 00:50:59.938
Yeah, okay, very.

00:51:00.945 --> 00:51:04.989
So what are your personal goals for this upcoming football season first season on varsity?

00:51:06.846 --> 00:51:21.317
I want to have a great season, stat-wise, you know, hopefully three to four interceptions, you know, and at least two, three, four touchdowns, maybe as a starting receiver, and I want to get looked at by our coaches.

00:51:21.317 --> 00:51:27.318
College coaches start getting recruited this year, so yeah, man, that's my goal, I love it.

00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:27.603
I love it.

00:51:27.603 --> 00:51:32.347
Speaking of goals, we'll get you out of here and then we have a question from the audience here.

00:51:32.347 --> 00:51:37.168
But before we take our question for the audience, so we know those are your goals for next year.

00:51:37.168 --> 00:51:42.583
Just looking down the road, you may or may not want to look too far ahead, but, uh, do you have any?

00:51:42.583 --> 00:51:45.311
Uh aspirations beyond, beyond high school?

00:51:45.311 --> 00:51:46.494
What's your aspirations later?

00:51:46.876 --> 00:51:48.039
I want to go d1.

00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:54.856
Hopefully uh play football and have a great career of all three or four years in college and then hopefully make it to the nfl.

00:51:55.385 --> 00:51:56.608
All right I love it.

00:51:56.608 --> 00:51:58.693
I love it any in any particular.

00:51:58.693 --> 00:52:02.532
I know you can't pick your team in the NFL, but any team you want to play for.

00:52:03.045 --> 00:52:03.768
Carolina Panthers.

00:52:03.768 --> 00:52:04.692
Man, there we go.

00:52:04.692 --> 00:52:07.311
I've been in love with them for many years, many years.

00:52:07.331 --> 00:52:07.753
There you go.

00:52:07.753 --> 00:52:09.666
So here it is Carolina Panthers.

00:52:09.666 --> 00:52:16.815
I know they've been struggling for years, but when they get this man, they may finally get over the hump and get to the Super Bowl.

00:52:16.815 --> 00:52:21.510
Yes, yes, so we're going to speak that.

00:52:21.510 --> 00:52:26.065
We're going to speak that into existence, my man, yep, yes, that's what we want to see, all right?

00:52:26.065 --> 00:52:27.990
Well, we have a question from the audience.

00:52:27.990 --> 00:52:28.351
Debbie.

00:52:29.134 --> 00:52:30.115
Hello Jalen.

00:52:30.115 --> 00:52:35.836
Hi when did you realize that football was more than just a sport for you?

00:52:38.146 --> 00:52:43.012
Around the age of going into seventh, eighth grade, I took it more serious.

00:52:43.012 --> 00:52:52.829
I took it more serious as a sport because I knew it was more hard work and my parents told me that if you want to go D1 or wherever you want to go, you have to put more work into it than just playing the game.

00:52:52.829 --> 00:53:01.476
Go to school, get good grades, go in the weight room, get your strength up and really practice to build your craft.

00:53:01.476 --> 00:53:02.949
You know, and yeah, that's what.

00:53:02.949 --> 00:53:04.092
That's what I found out.

00:53:05.206 --> 00:53:06.914
I have a follow up question.

00:53:06.914 --> 00:53:18.478
I know you have bigger dreams of wanting to go to the NFL, so what do you think you could possibly bring to the table that will make you stand out against some of the other recruits?

00:53:19.465 --> 00:53:21.072
You know I'm going to be a lockdown corner man.

00:53:21.072 --> 00:53:23.213
No one can get past me.

00:53:23.213 --> 00:53:24.509
I'm going to shut down anybody.

00:53:24.509 --> 00:53:25.411
You want me to shut down.

00:53:25.411 --> 00:53:28.170
You know I'm faster, I have better hands.

00:53:28.170 --> 00:53:30.932
I can pass up on them if I want to, you know.

00:53:30.932 --> 00:53:35.351
So yeah, Confidence is key, so I believe in you.

00:53:35.351 --> 00:53:37.958
Yeah, thank you Thank you.

00:53:43.465 --> 00:53:43.766
I love that.

00:53:43.766 --> 00:53:44.367
Confidence is absolutely key.

00:53:44.367 --> 00:53:44.688
I love it well.

00:53:44.688 --> 00:53:46.731
Hey, jalen man, it was a pleasure having you here.

00:53:46.731 --> 00:53:52.619
Thank you, uh, we're rooting for you, and you have many more fans that'll be following you now and following your career.

00:53:52.619 --> 00:53:53.643
Okay, thank you.

00:53:53.643 --> 00:53:55.007
All right, best of luck to you.

00:53:55.007 --> 00:54:01.764
Put your your hands together for Jaylen, all right, all right.

00:54:01.764 --> 00:54:27.835
Good job, mike, we'll be right back.

00:54:40.182 --> 00:54:42.047
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.

00:54:42.047 --> 00:54:46.153
Wow, so yeah, that was man, fun to talk to your teammate there.

00:54:46.153 --> 00:54:47.405
Man, yeah, it was fun.

00:54:47.405 --> 00:54:50.922
Man, yeah, proud of Jalen, so we'll be looking out for him.

00:54:50.922 --> 00:54:56.128
So that's one of the cool things about picking pros is, years from now, when you see people go on to do big things.

00:54:56.128 --> 00:54:58.130
You know this will be the first, many times.

00:54:58.130 --> 00:55:01.994
This will be the first time you see them, so that's going to be cool, all right.

00:55:01.994 --> 00:55:05.157
Well, we are bringing together another great guest.

00:55:05.157 --> 00:55:16.867
As you just saw in the promo, we have a gentleman here that has been everywhere, has worked for many, many teams in professional sports, has been to all the stadiums.

00:55:16.867 --> 00:55:20.909
In Major League Baseball there's not many people that can say they've been to every single stadium.

00:55:20.909 --> 00:55:25.030
So this gentleman has flown in from Florida to visit with us.

00:55:25.030 --> 00:55:28.130
Put your hands together for Mr Stuart Marshall.

00:55:28.130 --> 00:55:41.786
Stuart, what's going on, sir?

00:55:41.907 --> 00:55:42.750
Hey how we doing.

00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:45.820
Man, man, it is great to have you so.

00:55:45.820 --> 00:55:50.061
Wow, we have been linked together for a while, I believe.

00:55:50.061 --> 00:55:51.204
Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:55:51.204 --> 00:55:54.771
Didn't you win the first March Madness bracket?

00:55:55.030 --> 00:55:56.213
that we had, I believe.

00:55:56.213 --> 00:55:59.769
So I host one myself, and I like joining others when I'm invited.

00:55:59.769 --> 00:56:01.505
So, sounds about right.

00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:04.184
Yes, that is great.

00:56:04.184 --> 00:56:14.534
Yes, so not only you know you've been to all the baseball stadiums you traveled all over the world but you also know your college basketball for sure for winning that bracket, all right.

00:56:14.534 --> 00:56:17.525
Well, we definitely want to hear.

00:56:17.525 --> 00:56:22.862
Since you've been to every single stadium, we wanted to get your top 10.

00:56:22.862 --> 00:56:27.713
But within the top 10, because I know that was very hard for you to put that list together.

00:56:27.713 --> 00:56:43.231
Okay, so I believe you have three honorable mentions, so why don't you go ahead and I have the graphics here so I can show a graphic from each one why don't you go ahead and take us through these top 13?

00:56:43.612 --> 00:56:44.335
Sure, all right.

00:56:44.335 --> 00:56:48.108
So I think number 13, we went with Petco Park.

00:56:48.992 --> 00:56:49.152
Yes.

00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:50.342
Are we doing PNC?

00:56:50.824 --> 00:56:53.590
Yeah, yeah, let's go, let's see PNC.

00:56:53.590 --> 00:56:54.293
Yeah, okay.

00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:58.690
Yeah, pittsburgh, pennsylvania, you know sharp-looking stadium.

00:56:58.690 --> 00:57:08.369
They got the Roberto Clemente Bridge in the outfield and a lot of excitement out there right now with Paul Skeens big-name up-and-coming prospect.

00:57:08.369 --> 00:57:16.210
The Allegheny River out there in right field is quite a highlight of that stadium and I don't know if you saw the highlight from last week.

00:57:16.210 --> 00:57:18.748
Someone actually took him yard out there out of the stadium.

00:57:18.867 --> 00:57:19.550
Oh, wow no.

00:57:20.420 --> 00:57:24.150
So for big-name Paul, someone is able to take him yard.

00:57:24.150 --> 00:57:34.987
Yeah yeah, pittsburgh's very cool Kind of part of the edge of the northeast right there Starting to head towards the Midwest, it's definitely one to catch.

00:57:35.307 --> 00:57:37.581
All right, ok, all right, what's?

00:57:37.581 --> 00:57:38.442
What's your next one?

00:57:38.442 --> 00:57:39.384
Next honorable mention?

00:57:40.206 --> 00:57:41.068
We'll go Baltimore.

00:57:41.407 --> 00:57:45.905
Okay, all right, yep, baltimore Orioles Park.

00:57:45.905 --> 00:57:49.467
Yeah, diego, we haven't been to that stadium, but we walked right by it.

00:57:49.547 --> 00:57:50.150
Yeah, we have.

00:57:50.271 --> 00:57:50.471
Yeah.

00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:53.606
It looked like a cool stadium, got all the brick around there.

00:57:54.222 --> 00:57:55.266
Tell us about that one, Stuart.

00:57:55.539 --> 00:57:59.251
Yeah, so old school stadium, a lot of history in Baltimore there.

00:57:59.251 --> 00:58:02.641
Yeah, it's an excellent town.

00:58:02.641 --> 00:58:07.146
If you're into crab and some local eats, it's a sharp place to be.

00:58:07.146 --> 00:58:17.356
It is close to the DC area too Not to bring in their stadium as well, but there's plenty to do in that area there between DC and Baltimore.

00:58:17.976 --> 00:58:20.543
Okay, all right, that's another.

00:58:20.543 --> 00:58:22.831
And then what's your 11th next honorable mention?

00:58:23.019 --> 00:58:25.228
Yeah, so I do like Petco Park a lot.

00:58:25.228 --> 00:58:28.769
You can't beat baseball in Southern California.

00:58:28.769 --> 00:58:30.927
There's always good weather out there.

00:58:30.927 --> 00:58:35.672
Yes, with a lot of these cities, there's plenty to offer outside of just the stadium.

00:58:35.672 --> 00:58:49.150
Got the San Diego's Hoos out there and the beaches so a lot of times too, with me me being into traveling it's not just about the stadium, it's about just the whole city experience, and and san diego's got a lot to offer.

00:58:49.150 --> 00:58:56.900
Yeah, I did want to pick that over the la stadiums yes even the dodgers, they, they can have the winning, but uh but,

We were in town and they weren't playing, but we walked by it.

00:59:09.086 --> 00:59:10.009
Oh, it looked gorgeous.

00:59:10.009 --> 00:59:11.800

00:59:13.427 --> 00:59:14.128
What's number ten?

00:59:14.739 --> 00:59:16.721
Yeah, so I went with San Francisco.

00:59:16.721 --> 00:59:20.963
I think, being it being, it's hard to narrow it down to 10.

00:59:20.963 --> 00:59:26.307
I said cutting out nine was easy and then trimming it down from 21 to 10 was difficult.

00:59:26.307 --> 00:59:27.889
I went with San Francisco.

00:59:27.889 --> 00:59:37.155
So a lot of historic home runs there, going into the bay and the fans chasing them down on the kayaks, and all of that.

00:59:37.155 --> 00:59:44.601
My dad brought home a shirt from the 2007 All-Star game, so that was pretty cool.

00:59:44.601 --> 00:59:48.990
I was there prior to all the way back when it was AT&T Park.

00:59:49.311 --> 00:59:49.833
Oh, that's right.

00:59:50.601 --> 00:59:53.690
Now I think it's got the same name as the Warriors right with Oracle.

00:59:54.240 --> 00:59:57.045
That's right, yeah, their last one, yeah.

00:59:57.884 --> 00:59:59.480
So they're always flip-flopping.

00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:00.925
Yeah, that's right.

01:00:00.925 --> 01:00:06.112
Yeah, just pull the Coke bottle out in left field and the glove.

01:00:06.112 --> 01:00:09.326
Just some iconic memories.

01:00:09.586 --> 01:00:11.672
Yeah, okay, in that stadium, All right.

01:00:11.672 --> 01:00:13.324
All right, so that's 10.

01:00:13.324 --> 01:00:14.208
What's 9?

01:00:15.260 --> 01:00:21.641
So, contradicting to the jersey that I'm wearing now, as I was introduced with the Red Sox jacket, I'm going to go with the Yankees.

01:00:21.641 --> 01:00:22.804
Ooh introduced with the Red Sox jacket.

01:00:22.804 --> 01:00:23.605
I'm going to go with the Yankees, ooh.

01:00:23.605 --> 01:00:25.668
So been to the old one and the new one.

01:00:25.807 --> 01:00:26.068
Yes.

01:00:26.309 --> 01:00:27.210
The new one's sharp.

01:00:27.210 --> 01:00:29.994
You know, of course, that's an organization that has a lot of money.

01:00:29.994 --> 01:00:30.534
Right.

01:00:30.534 --> 01:00:38.782
They certainly crafted up a good ballpark there.

01:00:38.782 --> 01:00:40.306
I always keep saying history, but that's one you know.

01:00:40.306 --> 01:00:41.088
The Yankees go way back.

01:00:41.088 --> 01:00:42.592
Monument Park is certainly iconic.

01:00:42.592 --> 01:00:45.025
They had it in the old stadium, they've got it in the new one.

01:00:45.025 --> 01:00:50.250
Now I've got a highlight for a couple more food items.

01:00:50.250 --> 01:00:53.789
This one in Yankee Stadium is the steak sandwich with au jus.

01:00:54.090 --> 01:00:54.371
Okay.

01:00:54.740 --> 01:00:56.405
A little pricey being in New York.

01:00:57.268 --> 01:00:58.806
I bet About how much is it?

01:01:00.260 --> 01:01:01.925
It's got to be probably mid-20s what yeah?

01:01:01.925 --> 01:01:03.210
Good gracious, it's got to be probably mid-20s what yeah?

01:01:03.210 --> 01:01:07.769
Good gracious, it's not like Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the Falcons.

01:01:07.769 --> 01:01:12.331
They do a good job with the fans about offering good prices.

01:01:12.331 --> 01:01:14.704
Yankee Stadium not so much.

01:01:14.965 --> 01:01:17.284
Man, wow, okay, that's good to know.

01:01:17.284 --> 01:01:18.106
I did not know that.

01:01:18.106 --> 01:01:20.367
All right, okay, what's your next one, stuart?

01:01:21.061 --> 01:01:22.724
Then I'm going to go with the Phillies.

01:01:22.724 --> 01:01:23.985
Okay.

01:01:23.985 --> 01:01:28.414
And the reason for that is it's very like a tall stadium.

01:01:28.414 --> 01:01:35.199
Yes, when you think stadium, like I mentioned the Dodgers before, it kind of goes out a little bit Right.

01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:36.726
Yes, this one's kind of towering.

01:01:36.927 --> 01:01:37.148
Yeah.

01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:43.954
I like the way that they have it set up there in Philadelphia, with all of the stadiums and arenas being right next to each other.

01:01:43.954 --> 01:01:46.760
So you have Lincoln Financial there, that's right.

01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:49.489
And then where the 76ers and the Flyers are playing.

01:01:49.489 --> 01:01:53.547
It's cool having that, You've got to get a Philly cheesesteak.

01:01:53.547 --> 01:01:57.668
I think that they have the coolest mascot in the league that Philly fanatic.

01:01:58.291 --> 01:01:59.112
Yeah, yeah, they do.

01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:09.050
Philadelphia is definitely one to catch, and you know, close to Baltimore too, A lot of these you can knock out at the same time, if you map out the schedule, the right way, that's a great point.

01:02:09.110 --> 01:02:09.730
That's a great point.

01:02:09.730 --> 01:02:10.871
I have been to that one.

01:02:10.871 --> 01:02:14.094
That's one of those in the top ten that I have been to.

01:02:14.094 --> 01:02:16.336
Okay, what's your next one?

01:02:17.900 --> 01:02:18.681
So then I'm going New York Mets.

01:02:18.681 --> 01:02:25.373
So I did grow up in Connecticut, so I've had the ease of being able to get to some of these stadiums more often than not.

01:02:25.373 --> 01:02:29.670
I knew it originally as Shea Stadium, now it being Citi Field.

01:02:29.670 --> 01:02:29.971
Right.

01:02:29.971 --> 01:02:35.132
Just seeing a new stadium very similar to Yankee Stadium.

01:02:35.132 --> 01:02:36.905
You know money put into it.

01:02:36.905 --> 01:02:41.224
The Big Apple's awesome Like if you have the opportunity to check out New York City.

01:02:41.463 --> 01:02:41.724
Okay.

01:02:42.606 --> 01:02:44.409
You know you think about when they hit a home run.

01:02:44.409 --> 01:02:46.271
The apple pops up in the outfield.

01:02:46.271 --> 01:02:47.673
It's a cool experience.

01:02:47.673 --> 01:02:48.494
Let's check that out.

01:02:48.494 --> 01:02:57.273
Not quite for yourself yet, being under 21, but they have a good beer selection out there in center field for all the adults in the crowd.

01:02:57.494 --> 01:02:57.735
All right.

01:02:57.980 --> 01:02:59.882
So that's a must-have at the game, for sure, yeah, okay.

01:02:59.882 --> 01:03:00.563
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

01:03:00.702 --> 01:03:01.903
For sure, yeah, ok.

01:03:03.146 --> 01:03:04.527
And then this one.

01:03:04.527 --> 01:03:08.130
I, I really prefer the top five here.

01:03:08.130 --> 01:03:11.894
Yes, this one is easily a top five.

01:03:11.894 --> 01:03:13.255
Is the new Atlanta Stadium?

01:03:13.255 --> 01:03:25.922
We talked about this on the phone.

01:03:25.922 --> 01:03:26.224
Yes, just about.

01:03:26.224 --> 01:03:27.548
Not necessarily the stadium itself, but the surrounding area.

01:03:27.548 --> 01:03:29.876
Okay, um, they have restaurants, shops, they have places similar to this where you could uh all or do uh.

01:03:29.896 --> 01:03:44.753
I think I was googling it before and it jogged my memory like a uh, top golf simulator oh yeah so there's a lot of like pre-game, post game items, and when you go in there, it's it's one of the newer ballparks, yeah, so a sight to see for sure.

01:03:44.753 --> 01:03:46.567
Atlanta's a really good sports city.

01:03:46.820 --> 01:03:48.065
Yes, yes, absolutely.

01:03:48.244 --> 01:04:01.650
And it is one I kept all domes and roofs off of my list, but that's one of the hotter stadiums that if you think geographically, that one that's going to be one of the hotter ballparks For sure.

01:04:01.650 --> 01:04:03.365
So choose the time of year wisely.

01:04:03.365 --> 01:04:09.271
Yeah, definitely, definitely I know that from Tallahassee, being at those games.

01:04:09.581 --> 01:04:10.686
It was pretty hot today too.

01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:12.483
I was at the NC State game.

01:04:12.664 --> 01:04:15.170
Right, right, yeah, you were, you were All right.

01:04:15.170 --> 01:04:19.231
Okay, what's your now we're getting is this number four, Number five.

01:04:25.900 --> 01:04:26.501
Oh okay, five, five, oh okay, okay.

01:04:26.501 --> 01:04:27.784
So, uh, minnesota target field okay, uh, so that was really cool.

01:04:27.784 --> 01:04:28.447
Uh, I was out there last april.

01:04:28.447 --> 01:04:31.114
I got to see two of my favorite teams, the twins and the red socks.

01:04:31.114 --> 01:04:35.389
Yes, that's a nice stadium there, aesthetically with the limestone.

01:04:35.389 --> 01:04:38.900
Um, it's a lot calmer out there in the midwest.

01:04:38.900 --> 01:04:41.204
It's a different fan base.

01:04:41.204 --> 01:04:45.954
They they're not going to have the crazy fans as much that's true.

01:04:45.954 --> 01:04:49.150
It's a little bit more of just an honorable game out there.

01:04:49.409 --> 01:04:49.610
Right.

01:04:50.181 --> 01:04:51.606
But I had to put that one on the list.

01:04:51.606 --> 01:04:53.090
That's one of my favorite teams.

01:04:54.922 --> 01:04:55.867
It made top five.

01:04:55.867 --> 01:05:01.266
Yeah, they have some nice ball because they have the beautiful Vikings stadium there.

01:05:01.266 --> 01:05:03.751
So, yeah, they've got some nice stadiums there.

01:05:03.851 --> 01:05:05.644
Man yeah, yeah, they split off.

01:05:05.644 --> 01:05:12.170
It used to be the Metrodome, I was there years ago and for all the Minnesota fans I think it was bittersweet to let that go.

01:05:12.170 --> 01:05:15.467
But like you just said, there's two beautiful ones out there.

01:05:15.487 --> 01:05:16.670
Right, you sure do.

01:05:16.670 --> 01:05:19.300
Okay, all right, now we've got number four.

01:05:20.521 --> 01:05:21.322
Colorado.

01:05:22.123 --> 01:05:22.342
Oh.

01:05:22.342 --> 01:05:26.306
That's of course that's a stadium that was beautiful.

01:05:27.166 --> 01:05:34.152
You know, colorado, denver it's a hard state to pass up, whether you're going for sports or traveling Right?

01:05:34.152 --> 01:05:36.112
So yeah, that's one.

01:05:36.112 --> 01:05:37.914
Choose the time of the year wisely.

01:05:37.914 --> 01:05:41.998
I was there early on and it was cold and it hailed before the game.

01:05:41.998 --> 01:05:47.605
So you don't get that everywhere.

01:05:47.605 --> 01:05:47.905
No, not at all.

01:05:47.905 --> 01:05:49.373
I've heard from some friends that they had a similar experience.

01:05:49.393 --> 01:05:52.364
If you're there this year, the season kicked off at the end of March.

01:05:52.364 --> 01:05:55.864
If you're there, march, april, you might be looking at a cold one.

01:05:55.864 --> 01:06:02.101
Come summertime, with the elevation, you could be looking at a game in the 90s or maybe pushing 100.

01:06:02.121 --> 01:06:04.943
Shockingly, wow, wow.

01:06:04.983 --> 01:06:06.144
But gorgeous views.

01:06:06.144 --> 01:06:07.925
The Rocky Mountains are incredible.

01:06:07.925 --> 01:06:20.695
They have the right field porch way up for again, the 21-plus, the Coors Light and all of the good stuff from Golden Colorado that they have to serve there.

01:06:20.695 --> 01:06:23.896
It's a different taste when you get it for real out there in the Rockies.

01:06:23.996 --> 01:06:25.697
Okay, You'll have to definitely check that.

01:06:25.697 --> 01:06:31.570
I know, Diego, when you were pulling the stadiums because you weren't familiar with that one, that really got your attention.

01:06:31.672 --> 01:06:32.072
Yeah, it did.

01:06:32.072 --> 01:06:35.090
I wasn't expecting that, but it looked really good yeah.

01:06:37.581 --> 01:06:39.182
Yeah, we'll have to catch that one now.

01:06:39.182 --> 01:06:42.105
Yeah, because we've been catching one or two stadiums the last few years.

01:06:42.105 --> 01:06:44.286
Yeah, so we'll have to definitely catch some this summer.

01:06:44.286 --> 01:06:47.789
All right, okay, all right, now we're getting into the top three.

01:06:47.789 --> 01:06:49.831
Top three, so what's number three?

01:06:50.431 --> 01:06:53.213
So I'm glad that you said that you were shocked about Coors Field.

01:06:53.213 --> 01:06:57.657
So this one shocked me was the Cincinnati Reds Great American Ballpark.

01:06:57.657 --> 01:07:08.349
Wow, one of the first, but this one was actually my last, so I was able to make it there last year as well and really cool views another river.

01:07:08.349 --> 01:07:15.429
You don't even realize it, but I guess if you hit it far enough, which would be impossible, you could hit it into Kentucky from there.

01:07:15.710 --> 01:07:16.492
Man.

01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:18.266
Yeah, it's a cool stadium.

01:07:18.266 --> 01:07:21.570
They have a lot of history in that organization.

01:07:21.570 --> 01:07:28.349
The gift shops are very nice, wow, yeah, I was just pleasantly surprised.

01:07:28.349 --> 01:07:34.070
I mean, it's one that I would like to go back soon and it sounds like I might be going up in August for a game.

01:07:34.070 --> 01:07:37.038
I've got a friend going up and I might tag along for that trip.

01:07:37.038 --> 01:07:40.510
Nice, I would definitely put that one near the top of your list.

01:07:41.922 --> 01:07:43.182
Yeah, I never would have thought that one.

01:07:43.182 --> 01:07:45.186
So yeah, you're definitely educating us on that.

01:07:46.306 --> 01:07:51.733
You know again, I think that there was a reason why I had it last, and now I would certainly move it up the list.

01:07:51.833 --> 01:07:52.315
For sure.

01:07:52.315 --> 01:07:55.090
Okay, all right, now number two.

01:07:55.090 --> 01:07:55.639
What's the number two?

01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.190
Your second best ballpark in major leagues.

01:07:58.659 --> 01:08:01.822
So I think these top two have to get reserved for the classics.

01:08:01.822 --> 01:08:04.463
So so I think these top two have to get reserved for the classics.

01:08:04.463 --> 01:08:07.726
So Wrigley Field, oh man, I was watching a highlight earlier today and it's a good reminder.

01:08:07.726 --> 01:08:14.951
Go in the summer, when the Ivy has a chance to grow and you're not looking at a dead wall.

01:08:14.951 --> 01:08:16.752
You want to see some true green out there.

01:08:16.872 --> 01:08:17.152
Right.

01:08:17.171 --> 01:08:18.993
But classic scoreboard.

01:08:19.033 --> 01:08:32.948
in the outfield they have some seats that are just an iconic thing outside of the stadium on a building, they have those condos, they have residences over there and the rooftops over there.

01:08:32.948 --> 01:08:37.167
That's one of the other stadiums in the top ten that I have been to years ago.

01:08:37.167 --> 01:08:44.548
Matter of fact, I think I was there before they put the lights in, because they didn't have lights back in the day, so it was a big deal when they had lights.

01:08:45.402 --> 01:08:48.770
I had that on my list about saying to go for a day game.

01:08:48.770 --> 01:08:51.788
I saw them play the rival Cardinals there.

01:08:51.788 --> 01:08:53.645
That was one to go to.

01:08:53.645 --> 01:09:04.305
There's a restaurant outside of the stadium in right field called Bleachers, which I guess is a pretty iconic stop if you're going to the game, for a pre-game, post-game snack.

01:09:04.466 --> 01:09:06.451
Okay, good, good, all right.

01:09:06.451 --> 01:09:08.143
And then, hey, number one.

01:09:08.143 --> 01:09:11.112
What is the number one ballpark to go to?

01:09:11.112 --> 01:09:14.329
If you could not go to any other park, we're picking one.

01:09:14.329 --> 01:09:17.630
What is the top ballpark to go to in Major League Baseball, Stuart?

01:09:18.402 --> 01:09:19.527
So I'm going Fenway.

01:09:19.527 --> 01:09:21.622
Okay, I think it's awesome.

01:09:21.622 --> 01:09:30.123
I've never watched the game from on top of the Green Monster, yeah, but yeah, it's super cool, the fan base.

01:09:30.123 --> 01:09:37.085
I'm sure the Yankee fans wouldn't attest to it, right, but yeah, it's a special place.

01:09:37.405 --> 01:09:38.810
Yeah, okay.

01:09:38.850 --> 01:09:41.788
That's one I grew up going to probably the most games there.

01:09:41.788 --> 01:09:43.728
Uncle was a season ticket holder.

01:09:43.728 --> 01:09:45.706
I've caught a World Series game there before.

01:09:45.907 --> 01:09:46.729
Oh, my goodness.

01:09:47.121 --> 01:09:50.448
So that one's definitely a memorable one to go to with family.

01:09:50.609 --> 01:09:50.930
Okay.

01:09:50.951 --> 01:09:51.551
Close to home.

01:09:51.551 --> 01:09:55.470
I know I get to see family and friends every time I'm up there in New England.

01:09:55.631 --> 01:09:58.864
Wow, so been to a World Series game there in Fenway.

01:09:59.005 --> 01:09:59.765
That's really cool.

01:09:59.865 --> 01:10:03.592
Yeah, diego, I think you had one more question for Stuart.

01:10:11.322 --> 01:10:11.601
Oh, yeah, so.

01:10:11.601 --> 01:10:12.002
So who would you?

01:10:12.423 --> 01:10:13.646
say is your baseball goat?

01:10:13.646 --> 01:10:14.748
Oh, the baseball goat.

01:10:14.769 --> 01:10:26.485
So I would say so the greatest of all time not necessarily my favorite player, so the greatest Okay the greatest In my lifetime?

01:10:26.546 --> 01:10:27.707
Oh, probably.

01:10:28.568 --> 01:10:30.429
I would say it's got to be someone that I would see.

01:10:30.810 --> 01:10:35.073
So I would go, probably contrary to the Red Sox.

01:10:35.073 --> 01:10:36.895
I would probably pick a Yankee.

01:10:36.895 --> 01:10:38.315
I'm going to go with Derek Jeter.

01:10:38.497 --> 01:10:38.777
All right.

01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:41.185
That guy was a class act.

01:10:41.185 --> 01:10:42.367
He stayed with the organization throughout everything.

01:10:42.367 --> 01:10:42.627
I would say, maybe likewise Cal Ripken.

01:10:42.627 --> 01:10:42.623
All right, that guy was a class act.

01:10:42.539 --> 01:10:43.947
He stayed with the organization throughout everything.

01:10:43.947 --> 01:10:43.922
Yes.

01:10:43.943 --> 01:10:46.251
And I would say, maybe likewise Cal Ripken.

01:10:46.251 --> 01:10:51.432
Those guys were very honorable to their fan bases and put up the numbers.

01:10:51.432 --> 01:10:53.345
You think about a guy like Cal Ripken.

01:10:53.345 --> 01:10:56.055
He went all those games without sitting out one.

01:10:56.215 --> 01:10:57.458
Right, yes, the Iron man.

01:10:57.880 --> 01:11:00.087
So I think that those guys are.

01:11:00.087 --> 01:11:01.872
It would be a close tie for first.

01:11:02.140 --> 01:11:03.122
Yeah, wow.

01:11:03.304 --> 01:11:05.489
Yeah, I'd tip my cap to both of them.

01:11:05.489 --> 01:11:12.840
But, yeah, it's been a pleasure to just see some of these guys over the years and guys that have made Hall of Fame campaigns.

01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:17.569
I've been to Cooperstown before and, yeah, hopefully a lot more memories to come.

01:11:17.569 --> 01:11:24.748
We've got a new stadium coming up in Vegas and then, I'm living in greater Tampa right now.

01:11:24.748 --> 01:11:30.635
I've been watching some outdoor baseball while they figure out what they're doing on my way.

01:11:30.739 --> 01:11:41.502
Yeah, man, Well, yeah, we're looking forward to tagging along with you to a game tomorrow and, yeah, you are a true sports fan.

01:11:41.502 --> 01:11:42.543
You are a true sports fan.

01:11:42.543 --> 01:11:53.792
And then also for you to be a Red Sox but be able to say Derek Jeter, that says a lot about you, and I'm repping the Rays shirt today.

01:11:53.792 --> 01:11:54.332
That's right.

01:11:54.653 --> 01:11:55.412
Taylor Walls.

01:11:55.412 --> 01:12:03.511
He went to Florida State and he's repping our university well, yeah, sure is Well, stuart, we appreciate you, you.

01:12:03.530 --> 01:12:05.664
We appreciate you making the trip here from florida.

01:12:05.664 --> 01:12:11.524
We appreciate all the love and support of the channel and we're looking forward to doing much more with you in the future.

01:12:11.543 --> 01:12:12.546
My man let's do it.

01:12:12.567 --> 01:12:17.970
Yeah, looking looking forward to that game tomorrow yes, blue devils hokies all right, let's go, let's get it all right.

01:12:17.970 --> 01:12:21.829
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for stewart marshall.

01:12:21.829 --> 01:12:25.037
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Stuart Marshall.

01:12:25.037 --> 01:12:30.649
Alright, alright, appreciate it, man.

01:12:30.649 --> 01:12:33.347
Thank you.

01:12:41.632 --> 01:12:45.563
Alright, Now you know what.

01:12:45.563 --> 01:12:46.804
All right, Now you know what.

01:12:46.804 --> 01:12:48.444
We actually have a huge moment coming up.

01:12:48.444 --> 01:12:55.310
But there was a question from the audience about the Texas Rangers stadium.

01:12:55.310 --> 01:12:56.992
There was a question there.

01:12:56.992 --> 01:13:01.475
Can we get Stuart to come up with the mic and just address that?

01:13:01.475 --> 01:13:03.417
Go, come on up, Stewart, maybe up here.

01:13:03.417 --> 01:13:05.162
There was a question.

01:13:05.162 --> 01:13:10.453
Yeah, Dwayne Thompson asked where would Texas Rangers stadium rank?

01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:19.862
So I was there two years ago and for that I looked it up, it is actually the newest stadium, 2020.

01:13:19.862 --> 01:13:26.341
I tried to see all angles of the ballparkpark and I just wasn't that big of a fan of it, unfortunately.

01:13:26.341 --> 01:13:30.953
Um, again, I think to have the the claim to fame, you have to go see them all.

01:13:30.953 --> 01:13:36.622
But, uh, there were some views out there in right field that you couldn't even see the warning track, unfortunately.

01:13:36.622 --> 01:13:43.283
Okay, um, super tall stadium, there's a lot of angles that you can't see the game as as good as you would want to.

01:13:43.302 --> 01:13:50.715
Um, and and now, and with that, and this is so texas anyone that's been to texas, this is a very texas.

01:13:50.715 --> 01:13:56.159
Diego, okay, that's a brand new stadium, okay, and there's angles where you can't see right.

01:13:56.159 --> 01:14:00.810
But, diego, what stood out about you, about the texas rangers stadium?

01:14:00.810 --> 01:14:01.432
Because we were.

01:14:01.432 --> 01:14:04.286
We were there this past summer yeah, so they had.

01:14:04.346 --> 01:14:09.289
I saw they had the brand new stadium, of course, right there, but then on the other side of the street they had the old stadium.

01:14:09.289 --> 01:14:12.162
That still looks really good just sitting there right there.

01:14:12.261 --> 01:14:13.384
Yeah yes, so.

01:14:13.384 --> 01:14:14.567
So that that was one.

01:14:14.567 --> 01:14:24.234
I uh, it was tough for me to not make it to the old ballpark there in Arlington my uh, my dad would travel down to Dallas quite a bit and he had caught that stadium a couple times.

01:14:24.234 --> 01:14:27.048
I guess I wasn't able to get there in time.

01:14:27.048 --> 01:14:30.729
No, definitely a good community, good fans there.

01:14:30.729 --> 01:14:35.887
Jerry World's right next door as well, but yeah, that's one.

01:14:35.887 --> 01:14:38.529
I don't know if I'd be rushing back necessarily.

01:14:38.779 --> 01:14:44.309
And what stood out to us is that they didn't even tear the old one down, Like the lights were on and everything.

01:14:44.309 --> 01:14:48.824
They had a perfectly good stadium right next to the other one and they're both just sitting there.

01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:52.971
Yeah, I'm not even sure if maybe one of the college teams is playing there.

01:14:52.992 --> 01:14:54.377
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.

01:14:54.377 --> 01:14:55.199
Yeah, all right.

01:14:55.900 --> 01:14:57.743
Well, there's time to go back if they want.

01:14:57.802 --> 01:14:58.304
That's right.

01:14:58.844 --> 01:15:03.529
Maybe they could do like a retro game or something like that, that's right, all right.

01:15:03.550 --> 01:15:04.551
Well, thanks again, stuart.

01:15:04.551 --> 01:15:05.972
I just wanted you to answer that question.

01:15:05.972 --> 01:15:08.376
Thank you, right on, all right, all right.

01:15:08.376 --> 01:15:12.819
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are about to make history here.

01:15:12.819 --> 01:15:35.488
We have a high school basketball player that we've been following, that we're proud of, lives in the Clayton community and man, before we bring him on, we have a quick video and then we're going to talk to him, talk to his father, learn more about their story, and then we're going to go ahead and sign his letter of intent to his college.

01:15:35.488 --> 01:15:39.699
But before we do that, let's go ahead and play a quick video.

01:15:55.872 --> 01:15:57.113
To Mars Jordan and play a quick video.

01:15:57.113 --> 01:16:01.595
You can play your bet with us, cause you know we're going with them all.

01:16:01.595 --> 01:16:02.896
I pick them like a pro global.

01:16:02.896 --> 01:16:04.318
Try my ball, talk a pick and roll.

01:16:04.318 --> 01:16:06.564
We're going up the score touchdown.

01:16:06.564 --> 01:16:07.668
This is not field goal.

01:16:07.668 --> 01:16:09.927
We the winning team champions.

01:16:09.927 --> 01:16:14.430
When you walk through the halls, you can play your bet with us, cause you know we're going with them all.

01:16:14.430 --> 01:16:17.528
Yeah, this is a major play.

01:16:17.528 --> 01:16:19.225
We do it big in a major way.

01:16:19.225 --> 01:16:21.100
The end will be having the pick of the day.

01:16:21.100 --> 01:16:22.282
We'll be right back.

01:16:22.282 --> 01:16:23.021
Oh man Woo.

01:16:58.301 --> 01:17:02.452
I especially liked that one there, man, we got up there and jammed it, that was nasty, wasn't it?

01:17:02.533 --> 01:17:03.039
Yeah, it was tough.

01:17:03.280 --> 01:17:05.488
All right, diego, why don't you do the honors on this one man?

01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:10.813
All right, now we got Southern Wake Academy basketball star Jeremiah Henson.

01:17:18.859 --> 01:17:20.404
Hello, what's up my man?

01:17:21.188 --> 01:17:21.990
How you doing.

01:17:24.182 --> 01:17:25.246
Nice, nice, how you feel.

01:17:25.567 --> 01:17:28.546
I feel great, real excited.

01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:31.189
Yeah, yeah, man, this is great.

01:17:31.189 --> 01:17:35.452
So, yeah, we've been following you for a while.

01:17:35.452 --> 01:17:38.609
You know we've always loved your intensity.

01:17:38.609 --> 01:17:42.539
You know you got that dog in you and just bring a certain presence to the game.

01:17:42.539 --> 01:17:46.891
So I remember first time I've told you this, first time me and Diego saw you play.

01:17:46.891 --> 01:17:53.326
I remember making a comment you guys were about to play some of the old heads, yeah and I looked at y'all.

01:17:53.326 --> 01:17:56.009
I said, man, I think these young guys are about to take it.

01:17:56.009 --> 01:18:00.532
And you didn't even make eye contact but you were like, yeah, you thought right, yeah.

01:18:04.701 --> 01:18:06.286
I said, ooh, tapping, you like yeah, you thought right, yeah.

01:18:06.286 --> 01:18:08.833
I said, oh, I like him, I like him gotta be confident, that's right, that's right, yes, yes.

01:18:08.833 --> 01:18:09.877
So uh, man, congratulations man.

01:18:09.877 --> 01:18:14.110
Um, why don't you go ahead and just uh tell everybody a little bit about your, your journey?

01:18:14.252 --> 01:18:20.445
so so far um, as a freshman I always had my dad there with me, my mom.

01:18:20.445 --> 01:18:21.967
They were always my biggest supporters.

01:18:21.967 --> 01:18:33.230
Started off at Water God, then transferred to Clayton and then it just soared from there and then going into my senior year, transferring mid-year.

01:18:33.230 --> 01:18:38.880
It just made big adjustments and all that, but it was a really great journey.

01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:41.108
I really appreciate everything that's happened.

01:18:41.108 --> 01:18:43.368
It just made me the character of who I am today.

01:18:49.899 --> 01:18:50.603
I'm very happy.

01:18:50.603 --> 01:18:53.173
All right, when did you realize you had what it takes to be a college basketball player at the next level?

01:18:53.173 --> 01:18:53.636
Was there like a?

01:18:54.037 --> 01:18:54.539
specific moment or game.

01:18:54.539 --> 01:19:00.641
Um, since I was young, I've always had that type of chip on my shoulder, especially getting it from my dad.

01:19:00.641 --> 01:19:07.470
Um, he's been telling me since I'm young, since I'm like the smaller guard and all that I have to do X, y, z, better than the next man.

01:19:07.470 --> 01:19:10.510
So I have to be better than the taller guy, better than the next guard.

01:19:10.510 --> 01:19:13.390
So it just came down to who really wants it more.

01:19:13.390 --> 01:19:16.649
And if I really wanted it, then I had to believe in myself at all times.

01:19:16.649 --> 01:19:21.065
So it's not really like a moment, it's just clicking in my head knowing what I could do.

01:19:22.186 --> 01:19:22.908
Yeah, yeah.

01:19:22.908 --> 01:19:27.614
So tell us, Jeremiah man, what was the recruiting process?

01:19:27.614 --> 01:19:39.847
Like I know, the landscape has changed now as far as you know, being able to play more years at certain schools and whatnot but just tell us a little bit about the process and how it was for you this past year.

01:19:41.020 --> 01:19:51.141
Very, I had to be very humble, keep my head down, just stay in the gym at all times, because now different coaches, different recruiting coaches, they like to pick out the portal, the transfer portal.

01:19:51.141 --> 01:19:58.841
They like to pick Juco colleges, usually D3 and higher, just so it makes it harder for the high school guys.

01:19:58.841 --> 01:20:06.506
But if you just stay humble, stay at it and stay in the gym at all times and stay confident, then you always, it'll always be good for you.

01:20:06.685 --> 01:20:07.387
Yeah for sure.

01:20:07.387 --> 01:20:15.203
So, without revealing the school yet, what were some of the most important factors when you were looking for in a school that fit for you?

01:20:15.623 --> 01:20:16.828
um, it was just.

01:20:16.828 --> 01:20:30.886
I was trying to get somewhere where I can play immediately, make an impact and then be able to just show people who I am and show how I can provide on the floor as a teammate, off the floor as a character.

01:20:30.886 --> 01:20:32.103
It's just.

01:20:32.103 --> 01:20:34.826
It's all amazing, it's just I got to be who I am.

01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:37.005
Yeah, yes, yes.

01:20:37.646 --> 01:20:38.510
Definitely yes.

01:20:38.510 --> 01:20:39.323
Round of applause.

01:20:39.323 --> 01:20:40.027
Round of applause.

01:20:40.027 --> 01:20:42.484
Well, you know what, jeremiah?

01:20:42.484 --> 01:20:47.426
Jeremiah, let's go ahead, because my next question is will be more of a uh, a two-parter here.

01:20:47.426 --> 01:20:55.152
So, or for, for both of you, but let's go ahead and bring somebody that I know has been a major influence in your life and has helped you.

01:20:55.152 --> 01:20:57.247
Uh, you know, get to where you are right now.

01:20:57.247 --> 01:21:03.082
Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for Jeremiah's father, mr Chris Henson.

01:21:03.082 --> 01:21:22.180
All right, all right, thank you for joining us, thank you for having me.

01:21:22.180 --> 01:21:23.381
Yeah, yeah, so it's great to have you on here.

01:21:23.381 --> 01:21:25.184
You know, we talked about, talked about this moment.

01:21:25.184 --> 01:21:30.974
So, man, just tell us, as we talk about this for a little bit, tell me about the rides in the car.

01:21:30.974 --> 01:21:37.054
All right, tell me about the rides in the car and just the overall bond that the two of you have.

01:21:37.756 --> 01:21:42.175
Well, first things first, everyone put your hands together for Derek and Diego for this amazing show.

01:21:42.175 --> 01:21:49.208
I really appreciate you having us.

01:21:49.208 --> 01:22:07.186
As far as these car rides, man, sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad, but all the time they're influential and we create a lot of moments in those car rides, a lot of things that people don't see, the conversations that me and Jeremiah have building up.

01:22:07.186 --> 01:22:22.655
You know, maybe after a loss or maybe after a win, there's always an opportunity to encourage and give him that solid foundation and understanding who he is, understanding what he can bring to the game and understanding that the world is going to know who he is very soon.

01:22:23.265 --> 01:22:26.135
Yes, that's right, I love it, love it, love it.

01:22:27.024 --> 01:22:30.067
How do you see your game translating to the next level?

01:22:30.067 --> 01:22:31.728
What are you excited to bring to your team?

01:22:34.289 --> 01:22:38.993
I'm a really good player, but I really want to bring my defense.

01:22:38.993 --> 01:22:49.539
I feel like every team needs a defensive player and my energy I feel like my energy will pick up different players, pick up my team, and then it will just immediately impact the entire game in general.

01:22:50.060 --> 01:22:53.322
Okay, yeah, yeah, he does have that doggone defense.

01:22:53.322 --> 01:22:54.786
I love it, I love it.

01:22:54.786 --> 01:22:57.851
I see you there slapping, slapping your leg, you know, and getting ready.

01:22:57.851 --> 01:23:00.457
Everybody knows that he's watched him play, yes, yes.

01:23:00.457 --> 01:23:05.395
So, jeremiah man, you know a lot of great players.

01:23:05.395 --> 01:23:08.212
They have that chip, you know they have that chip on their shoulder.

01:23:08.212 --> 01:23:16.076
So, man, just tell me about that and tell me.

01:23:16.095 --> 01:23:17.444
What do you still have to prove at this next level?

01:23:17.444 --> 01:23:20.435
It's not even like proving to different people.

01:23:20.435 --> 01:23:23.734
It's proving to myself, because I still know I can do it.

01:23:23.734 --> 01:23:29.703
It's now to the point where the lights are on me and I have to prove to everyone that I can do it.

01:23:29.703 --> 01:23:35.349
It's about being confident, and as I'm confident in myself, I'm going to show the entire world who I am.

01:23:36.011 --> 01:23:38.676
All right, all right, love it, yes, you will.

01:23:39.626 --> 01:23:40.568
So off the court.

01:23:40.568 --> 01:23:43.497
What are you looking forward to most in the next chapter of your life?

01:23:44.645 --> 01:23:49.014
I really say, like the college experience, because I'll be moving out the house.

01:23:49.014 --> 01:23:51.158
I was joking, I'll be moving out the house.

01:23:51.158 --> 01:23:53.180
I was joking, I'll be moving out the house and all that.

01:23:53.180 --> 01:24:02.967
So like being with those college teammates and then living their lifestyle and then going to class and then just being in that environment is just going to be real fun and a big change for me.

01:24:03.751 --> 01:24:05.416
All right, that's great, that's great.

01:24:05.416 --> 01:24:06.766
Well, all right.

01:24:06.766 --> 01:24:14.707
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment everyone's been waiting for, man, are you ready to ready to make this official?

01:24:14.707 --> 01:24:20.131
We're gonna bring the the camera over here and, uh, I guess you could make the announcement and then sign you ready to make it official?

01:24:20.131 --> 01:24:30.253
Man, absolutely okay, I'll let you do the you guys do do the honors here, there we go.

01:24:31.296 --> 01:24:35.180
I will be committing to Central Carolina and Sanford, north Carolina.

01:24:35.180 --> 01:24:37.891
It's been a great opportunity.

01:24:37.891 --> 01:24:46.836
They have been basically an extended home for me and my family, and the coaches over there are amazing and I can't wait to get started.

01:24:48.091 --> 01:24:50.176
All right, fantastic, let's put our hands together.

01:24:50.176 --> 01:24:55.250
All right, all right, let's go ahead.

01:24:55.250 --> 01:25:04.434
We'll slide that cup over to the side and let's get the camera over here and we'll get you to sign that official letter.

01:25:04.434 --> 01:25:07.110
My man, yes, make a history.

01:25:07.110 --> 01:25:16.391
Love it, love it history, love it, love it there.

01:25:16.391 --> 01:25:17.673
So, uh, dad, how do you feel man?

01:25:18.676 --> 01:25:20.217
Uh, it's a long journey.

01:25:20.217 --> 01:25:21.939
Uh, it's a long time coming.

01:25:21.939 --> 01:25:26.148
You got to understand that.

01:25:26.148 --> 01:25:27.514
He's been working at this since he was five years old.

01:25:27.514 --> 01:25:29.242
He was my ball boy when I was coaching at Green Hope.

01:25:29.242 --> 01:25:31.728
Um, he's been around the game his entire life.

01:25:31.728 --> 01:25:37.757
This didn't happen by mistake, and this isn't the last door that opens for him.

01:25:37.757 --> 01:25:48.399
This is just one of many, and I just want everyone to know that Jeremiah Henson is coming.

01:25:48.420 --> 01:25:50.186
That's right, yeah, I couldn't agree more.

01:25:50.186 --> 01:25:55.274
And also, I believe you have a 4.0 average.

01:25:55.755 --> 01:25:57.759

01:25:58.238 --> 01:26:02.726
Yes, yes, so doing it on and off the court A lot of times.

01:26:02.726 --> 01:26:10.073
That's not highlighted enough, but, yeah, man, 4.0 average is amazing and I know you work at it.

01:26:10.073 --> 01:26:12.586
When I reached out this morning, you were already at the gym.

01:26:12.586 --> 01:26:14.711
So, yeah, you're putting in work.

01:26:14.711 --> 01:26:16.113
Just keep that discipline.

01:26:16.113 --> 01:26:16.935
We're proud of you.

01:26:16.935 --> 01:26:20.372
This is just the next step and we'll be following you, my man.

01:26:20.372 --> 01:26:24.307
So congratulations, and we'll be following you this next season.

01:26:24.307 --> 01:26:28.118
All right, put your hands together for, oh, we got a question.

01:26:28.118 --> 01:26:28.886
Oh, my bad.

01:26:28.886 --> 01:26:29.588
Oh, online.

01:26:29.588 --> 01:26:32.417
Okay, oh, this is from Kevin Thomas online.

01:26:32.417 --> 01:26:37.064
Jeremiah, what are your core values for life now on and off the court?

01:26:37.064 --> 01:26:40.215
What are your core values for life now on and off the court?

01:26:43.265 --> 01:26:44.371
Everything's a big adjustment.

01:26:44.371 --> 01:26:50.091
So now that college work is going to be added to my schedule, I maintain college.

01:26:50.091 --> 01:26:54.247
I maintain off and on the court basketball, maintain family friends.

01:26:54.247 --> 01:26:59.350
I think everything's just going to be a big adjustment for me, but I feel like I can handle it all.

01:26:59.350 --> 01:27:01.475
I think it's going to be real fun.

01:27:01.475 --> 01:27:07.657
I think, since I got my dad with me, he's going to be right there with me and, of course, my mom in the crowd.

01:27:07.864 --> 01:27:08.287

I didn't do that on purpose.

01:34:03.748 --> 01:34:04.150
I promise.

01:34:05.086 --> 01:34:09.412
So Tommy Celtics fan Die hard, Die hard, Die hard.

01:34:09.412 --> 01:34:11.076

01:34:11.076 --> 01:34:12.377
In the finals OKC.

01:34:12.597 --> 01:34:13.078
OKC.

01:34:13.219 --> 01:34:13.659
OKC.

01:34:13.659 --> 01:34:19.173
See all of us smart people that picked the Celtics, we picked them going against OKC.

01:34:19.173 --> 01:34:19.935
We're just on it.

01:34:20.115 --> 01:34:20.877
Say that one more time.

01:34:20.877 --> 01:34:21.658
All of us what?

01:34:21.658 --> 01:34:22.539
All of us smart.

01:34:23.284 --> 01:34:25.007
Smart Celtic people.

01:34:26.670 --> 01:34:27.430
You know what I mean?

01:34:27.430 --> 01:34:28.152
All right, you know.

01:34:28.152 --> 01:34:30.234
Hey, diego, you know your dad's a bandwagoner man.

01:34:30.234 --> 01:34:31.216
Yeah, he's a bandwagoner.

01:34:31.216 --> 01:34:31.775
He can't be talking.

01:34:31.775 --> 01:34:34.619
Any team that's popping at the moment he's on that wagon.

01:34:34.619 --> 01:34:39.851
Exactly, we all know.

01:34:39.851 --> 01:34:42.376
That was that steel chip in Vino's ear that made that thing go off.

01:34:42.416 --> 01:34:44.260
Yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right.

01:34:44.260 --> 01:34:46.708
So, diego, I believe you got a question for our guys here.

01:34:47.210 --> 01:34:49.994
So who's your guys' top five rappers of all time?

01:34:49.994 --> 01:34:50.655
Oh wow.

01:34:51.256 --> 01:34:51.978
Fino take it.

01:34:53.845 --> 01:34:54.426
That's tough.

01:34:54.426 --> 01:35:02.212
I try to be versatile myself and I listen to a wide range of different music in general, but even hip-hop, but I'm from that era.

01:35:02.212 --> 01:35:05.931
Tupac and Biggie those two go up in there.

01:35:05.931 --> 01:35:08.554
Nas I was big on Nas growing up.

01:35:08.554 --> 01:35:11.113
Nas is that storyteller, real lyrical-type rapper.

01:35:11.113 --> 01:35:15.835
Got to bring some of this era in Joyner Lucas Absolutely.

01:35:15.854 --> 01:35:16.476
Joyner Lucas.

01:35:16.904 --> 01:35:19.572
I mean deep, deep fire.

01:35:19.572 --> 01:35:22.630
The Game I got to bring Game in.

01:35:22.630 --> 01:35:35.532
Oh, okay, and I don't do too much like real heavy, like gangster rap, especially like West Coast, like that Right, but Game is just his passion, his drive, drive like that ferocity that he comes up with like it's just it's insane to me, like it's insane to me.

01:35:35.532 --> 01:35:37.157
So that's uh what we got.

01:35:37.157 --> 01:35:39.082
Four I I don't know.

01:35:39.122 --> 01:35:41.934

I got my own top five okay what's your top five, john top?

01:35:46.787 --> 01:36:00.987
Five, obviously to me, for his lyrical ability and just the way that he knows how to tommy vino that's right, hey, it's tommy vino.

01:36:00.987 --> 01:36:03.668

Ooh yeah, nas Jadakiss.

So what's that?

01:36:14.136 --> 01:36:17.899
Four, yeah, yep, and I would definitely have to go with Joyner Lucas.

01:36:17.899 --> 01:36:19.300
I agree with you on that.

01:36:19.300 --> 01:36:20.921
Yeah, yeah, I like that.

01:36:21.100 --> 01:36:21.981

01:40:35.164 --> 01:40:40.631
Well, there's something my boy, diego, don't really know much about with today's music that's out.

01:40:40.631 --> 01:40:44.895
There's a lot of intricate bars involved in this song.

01:40:44.895 --> 01:40:50.393
It's no Playboi Carti stuff, you know.

01:40:50.393 --> 01:40:52.877

Hey, thank y'all.

01:41:10.420 --> 01:41:17.005
Listen, music is changing in so many ways Radio pop songs getting so many plays.

01:41:17.005 --> 01:41:21.029
The underground is blazing with so many tapes Only a handful of them real.

01:41:21.029 --> 01:41:26.853
There's so many fakes, not acknowledged as a pro, although I know what it takes Patience and dedication mix with focus and faith.

01:41:26.853 --> 01:41:29.373
I know that they'll hate, but someday we'll be known with the grace.

01:41:29.373 --> 01:41:30.791
I finally cracked the code.

01:41:30.791 --> 01:41:37.917
I'm about to open the safe and show you my full potential, cuz I know it's a state, my name and my reputation.

01:41:37.917 --> 01:41:38.984
If I Fold up a break, slowing down will be my only mistake.

01:41:38.984 --> 01:41:43.036
I take fate and put it behind bars like I roll with a cape and my goal is full control.

01:41:43.036 --> 01:41:46.646
I'm jumping over the gates fully loaded and exploding in the door in your face.

01:41:46.646 --> 01:41:48.109
No more ignoring his face.

01:41:48.109 --> 01:41:48.609
I'm a Jordan.

01:41:48.609 --> 01:41:49.168
This in this race.

01:41:49.389 --> 01:41:51.650
Trevor Bain 3D at a glorious pace.

01:41:51.650 --> 01:41:53.072
Work hard for a living.

01:41:53.072 --> 01:41:54.113
No one's handing me cake.

01:41:54.113 --> 01:41:56.574
I'll do whatever to make it for my family's sake.

01:41:56.574 --> 01:41:59.076
We got bills to pay and mouths to feed.

01:41:59.076 --> 01:42:01.557
Different from most because I'm not bound to greed.

01:42:01.557 --> 01:42:04.319
Now I see a way to escape worst humility.

01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:11.395
Find my demographics attacking with versatility Dance jams for clubs, bass for in the whip, Catchy hooks for radio, you can't forget.

01:42:11.614 --> 01:42:13.904
A little something for the ladies, showing them love.

01:42:13.904 --> 01:42:16.354
A little something for the streets, with the soul of a thug.

01:42:16.354 --> 01:42:20.289
Music about struggle, music about strife, music about pain.

01:42:20.289 --> 01:42:21.987
Music about life Hype.

01:42:21.987 --> 01:42:26.444
Songs for partying, having a fun time, the controversial parodies flooded with punchlines.

01:42:26.444 --> 01:42:30.365
Songs to make you laugh, songs to make you cry, songs to give you goosebumps.

01:42:30.365 --> 01:42:34.028
Open your eyes, realize what's going on and see the big picture.

01:42:34.028 --> 01:42:36.509
Listen to the message hidden within the scripture.

01:42:36.509 --> 01:42:38.871
Something so moving, something so real.

01:42:38.871 --> 01:42:41.351
Instead of just hearing my words, try to feel.

01:42:41.351 --> 01:42:43.613
It's all about emotion in the music we play.

01:42:43.613 --> 01:42:48.536
So, no matter how you feel, with any tune you could change, let me take the reins and guide you with the sound.

01:42:48.536 --> 01:42:49.856
Fasten your seatbelts.

01:42:49.856 --> 01:43:10.784
It's about to go down First.

01:43:10.784 --> 01:43:11.145
Oh, run that back.

01:43:11.145 --> 01:43:11.365
Bring that.

01:43:11.386 --> 01:43:11.966
I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready.

01:43:11.966 --> 01:43:12.266
I wasn't ready.

01:43:12.266 --> 01:43:12.806
Give it up for the DJ too.

01:43:12.806 --> 01:43:19.474
Yeah, at first I was birthed with a gift and a curse, a rip and a verse, but I really didn't get it at first, learned how to take advantage of my talent as a teen.

01:43:19.474 --> 01:43:28.788
From the second that I stepped onto the scene, I spit it clean, fascinated with the fast life getting cash, sick of struggling growing up in the middle class, eyes wide as a mash on the gas head first.

01:43:28.788 --> 01:43:29.931
I don't want to finish last.

01:43:29.931 --> 01:43:33.208
Back in the past I made a lot of mistakes, learned from them on the come up.

01:43:33.208 --> 01:43:36.252
Now I'm trying to escape Out of poverty so I can see that lottery cake.

01:43:36.252 --> 01:43:38.150
So I gotta bring it all to the table.

01:43:38.150 --> 01:43:39.014

No time to lose.

01:43:40.965 --> 01:43:43.354
If you ever had to live in my position, you'd be grinding too.

01:43:43.354 --> 01:43:52.287
It's the wide state of mind that defines the rules from the common fools.

01:43:52.287 --> 01:43:53.372
Choose your own path that you got given right to pick.

01:43:53.372 --> 01:43:53.975
You only got one life to live.

01:43:53.975 --> 01:43:56.645
The design of a g on the grind in the street is the same that applies to a college degree.

01:43:56.645 --> 01:43:58.871
You gotta keep it day of my birth.

01:43:58.871 --> 01:44:03.250

01:44:03.250 --> 01:44:07.609
And I'm gonna be the same way till I leave in a hearse head first since the day of my birth.

01:44:07.609 --> 01:44:09.615
I'm gonna be the same way till I leave in a hearse yeah, head first since the day of my birth.

01:44:09.615 --> 01:44:12.103
I'ma be the same way till I leave in a hearse yeah, head first since the day of my birth.

01:44:12.103 --> 01:44:15.488
Yeah, listen, it's mind over matter.

01:44:15.488 --> 01:44:16.573
What's the matter with your mind?

01:44:16.573 --> 01:44:18.190
It's hopeless if you ain't focused on the grind.

01:44:18.444 --> 01:44:20.894
I spent a lot of time trying to find a way to rise to the top.

01:44:20.894 --> 01:44:22.029
Gotta keep it head first.

01:44:22.029 --> 01:44:23.172
Devising a plot.

01:44:23.172 --> 01:44:29.354

01:44:31.717 --> 01:44:33.579

Do whatever it takes till the day we get right, even if I gotta do it in the middle of the night.

01:44:40.064 --> 01:44:42.373
I fight to the death till my last breath.

01:44:42.373 --> 01:44:45.649
As long as this heart still beats in my chest, I will not rest.

01:44:45.649 --> 01:44:48.872
I will not quit and live by the code, spoken like a true pen.

01:44:48.872 --> 01:44:50.588
