00:36:03,300 Time out. 865 00:36:03,660 --> 00:36:06,090 Um, so I was thinking, and what is this? 866 00:36:06,090 --> 00:36:07,860 This is, this is most time, oh, okay. 867 00:36:07,860 --> 00:36:08,460 It's most time out. 868 00:36:08,670 --> 00:36:09,540 Said that three times. 869 00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:11,520 If you were listening, man, sir. 870 00:36:11,850 --> 00:36:12,150 Oh. 871 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:21,090 Wk, uh, I was thinking, and I like taking this time out just 872 00:36:21,090 --> 00:36:26,610 to really kind of, really think about the larger implications. 873 00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:30,060 Think about, um, our favorite sports players. 874 00:36:30,065 --> 00:36:34,470 Think about, I think of Cassius Clay, who of course we know became Muhammad Ali. 875 00:36:35,115 --> 00:36:37,935 Um, greatest box forever, right? 876 00:36:38,384 --> 00:36:39,765 Uh, we think of Michael Jordan. 877 00:36:39,765 --> 00:36:44,325 We think of Hank Aaron, all these wonderful professional ball 878 00:36:44,325 --> 00:36:47,984 players, um, and they were great. 879 00:36:47,984 --> 00:36:49,515 They're, they're game changers. 880 00:36:49,515 --> 00:36:52,634 They certainly are memorable for their stats and what they did for their 881 00:36:52,634 --> 00:36:54,674 team, what they did for the sport. 882 00:36:55,605 --> 00:37:00,015 But does athletic ability and professional dominance of a sport 883 00:37:00,015 --> 00:37:01,995 really make a player a hero or a role? 884 00:37:03,110 --> 00:37:06,630 I mean, Charles Barkley said it best when folks were say, I'm not a role model. 885 00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:10,170 But again, just because you can dunk a basketball, does that really 886 00:37:10,170 --> 00:37:15,120 mean that you're an expert on, you know, me taking care of myself or 887 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,180 you know, me going to college or me, me making decisions for my life? 888 00:37:18,185 --> 00:37:19,590 What makes you an expert? 889 00:37:19,590 --> 00:37:21,090 Just because you can dunk a ball. 890 00:37:21,330 --> 00:37:21,480 Og, 891 00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:23,130 Other Guy: you're, it's not you. 892 00:37:23,130 --> 00:37:26,010 You're not, I mean, you're like, I hate. 893 00:37:27,045 --> 00:37:30,135 You're, you're an expert at playing basketball, but you're 894 00:37:30,135 --> 00:37:32,175 not an expert in, you know, life. 895 00:37:32,235 --> 00:37:35,955 And, and I, I just, I am not a fan of. 896 00:37:37,065 --> 00:37:41,715 Players using their, their platform to push other things or, you 897 00:37:41,715 --> 00:37:45,705 know, just put out misinformation or bad information or whatever. 898 00:37:45,705 --> 00:37:46,995 Just because they believe it. 899 00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:51,855 Because then it, it gains popularity and it gains steam and it's, it's just stupid. 900 00:37:51,915 --> 00:37:52,635 Mo: But here's the thing. 901 00:37:52,845 --> 00:37:56,895 We, we have jerseys that, you know, bring in millions of dollars for players. 902 00:37:57,650 --> 00:38:01,460 Why can't like Bill Gates or think about the ladies who were in the movie, 903 00:38:01,490 --> 00:38:03,650 hidden Figures, those are heroes. 904 00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:07,280 They played an integral part in us making it to the moon, but they're rarely 905 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,090 talked about, why don't we have a, a, a jersey that says, Catherine, why don't 906 00:38:11,090 --> 00:38:14,630 we have a jersey that says, I don't know Einstein or, or Soc Well, whoever. 907 00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:18,980 But we've had some really true heroes who have done some remarkable things and we 908 00:38:18,980 --> 00:38:22,730 either don't hear about 'em, don't know about 'em, or they're not really relevant 909 00:38:22,730 --> 00:38:26,480 because, you know, they're not, they're not wearing a jersey or a uniform tee. 910 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,080 Well, that's 911 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,040 T-Bird: just non-American culture when it comes to stuff like that. 912 00:38:32,610 --> 00:38:35,250 Uh, you know, we always talk about, it's about the kids. 913 00:38:35,255 --> 00:38:36,030 It's about the kids. 914 00:38:36,030 --> 00:38:37,890 You know, it all reverts back to the kids. 915 00:38:37,890 --> 00:38:41,340 So when you got an athlete that can jump out of the world and 916 00:38:41,340 --> 00:38:45,360 then stuff a basketball or throw one a hundred yards and he wins 917 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,030 games that relates to children. 918 00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:54,060 And the children are the ones that are always looking up and your, your 919 00:38:54,060 --> 00:38:56,270 dad say, Hey, I want you to be like o. 920 00:38:56,790 --> 00:39:00,419 You know, and, uh, you know, he's a good guy. 921 00:39:00,509 --> 00:39:01,649 He plays well. 922 00:39:01,799 --> 00:39:03,209 He don't get in no trouble. 923 00:39:03,450 --> 00:39:07,259 So he's basically telling him that OG is a role model. 924 00:39:07,290 --> 00:39:07,410 Yeah. 925 00:39:07,569 --> 00:39:08,689 Do do what OG does. 926 00:39:08,689 --> 00:39:08,930 Yeah. 927 00:39:08,930 --> 00:39:10,209 Do do what OG does. 928 00:39:10,214 --> 00:39:14,729 So, uh, and that's the way our culture is, is, is works. 929 00:39:15,330 --> 00:39:17,939 You know, you, you're not gonna talk about those people that you 930 00:39:17,939 --> 00:39:22,330 talking about unless you're doing a documentary or a movie, you know. 931 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,080 And I, and I agree with Charles. 932 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,810 I agree with him then that they're not role models. 933 00:39:27,810 --> 00:39:29,910 They screw up 24 7. 934 00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:31,410 That's just the stuff we done heard about. 935 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:31,890 Right. 936 00:39:32,130 --> 00:39:34,380 You know, you, you, you know, you a millionaire. 937 00:39:34,380 --> 00:39:36,150 They gimme your meal, money on your trip. 938 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:37,800 Ain't no telling what all you doing. 939 00:39:37,950 --> 00:39:42,600 Well, Dennis Rodman, I mean, you know, , so certainly not so, you 940 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,310 know, I, I just, it, it is a shame, but I think our culture is just, 941 00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:49,710 Mo: Generate that way. 942 00:39:49,710 --> 00:39:54,210 Well, why can't, here's if, if, if you want to use your influence, you 943 00:39:54,210 --> 00:40:00,420 know, Jalen Hertz or LeBron James, then instead of saying, Hey, drink this 944 00:40:00,424 --> 00:40:05,655 Gatorade, buy these shoes, why not say, hey, Join a STEM club, or, you know, 945 00:40:05,745 --> 00:40:10,095 aspire to be a doctor or a lawyer or whatever, because let's, let's be real. 946 00:40:10,095 --> 00:40:13,965 The, the likelihood of a child becoming a professional sport player Yep. 947 00:40:14,145 --> 00:40:15,345 Is slim to none. 948 00:40:15,585 --> 00:40:18,975 So isn't it really building a false narrative of a false hope to say, 949 00:40:18,975 --> 00:40:23,265 Hey, pick up a basketball, pick up a, a baseball pick up, kick a soccer 950 00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:25,065 ball, and your life will change. 951 00:40:25,065 --> 00:40:27,645 You'll be able to change the lives of your, of your, of your families. 952 00:40:27,765 --> 00:40:29,805 You might as well tell 'em to start playing the lottery every week. 953 00:40:29,805 --> 00:40:30,465 What you got Dex? 954 00:40:31,065 --> 00:40:31,725 Um, yeah. 955 00:40:32,509 --> 00:40:35,529 Producer Dex: On, on one part of your conversation, you're saying pick 956 00:40:35,580 --> 00:40:39,009 real, real, uh, real role models. 957 00:40:39,009 --> 00:40:42,040 And then the other half of this conversation you're saying, uh, 958 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,640 these guys aren't role models and they don't really step out or 959 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,230 anything like that and, and talk. 960 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,200 But then you have people like Colin Kaepernick. 961 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,070 Who does, and now he's blackballed out of the sport that, that's a good point. 962 00:40:54,070 --> 00:40:54,790 He's been wanted to play. 963 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:56,200 So which is it? 964 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,560 Which dichotomy does America want to roll with? 965 00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:04,360 Because all of this is really based off of gladiator culture and you know, 966 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,100 that's just an extension of capitalism. 967 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,020 Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose. 968 00:41:08,530 --> 00:41:09,160 So it's. 969 00:41:09,975 --> 00:41:13,470 , it's inherent of us to either figure out what our culture is and how we

00:41:50,190 --> 00:41:50,940 Um, no doubt. 987 00:41:50,944 --> 00:41:53,640 What's the significance of somebody winning a Nobel Peace Prize? 988 00:41:54,674 --> 00:41:57,105 They've done something

00:42:16,415 Because even in grade school, even in high. 998 00:42:17,009 --> 00:42:20,190 We play such an emphasis on sports. 999 00:42:20,279 --> 00:42:20,430 Producer Dex: Yeah. 1000 00:42:20,430 --> 00:42:24,569 But we don't look at how much, and this is, this is, I'm partially 1001 00:42:24,569 --> 00:42:25,680 blame the media for this. 1002 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,160 I know. 1003 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,480 It, it sounds like a cop out. 1004 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,000 Uhuh. 1005 00:42:28,020 --> 00:42:28,230 Okay. 1006 00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:31,470 We're a sports podcast,

longest running shows was Jeopardy. 1015 00:42:49,109 --> 00:42:51,299 And that's only on for what, an hour 1016 00:42:51,299 --> 00:42:51,690 Mo: a day? 1017 00:42:51,690 --> 00:42:52,230 Two hours? 1018 00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:53,040 30 30 minutes? 1019 00:42:53,129 --> 00:42:53,430 Yeah. 1020 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:54,540 Producer Dex: 30 minutes per episode. 1021 00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:55,560 How many episodes per day? 1022 00:42:56,069 --> 00:43:00,600 I mean, like, so I mean, that's, that's what we are choosing to expose, but 1023 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,160 that's also what people are picking. 1024 00:43:02,250 --> 00:43:02,580 Yeah. 1025 00:43:02,669 --> 00:43:04,049 And people vote with their dollars. 1026 00:43:04,109 --> 00:43:04,440 Right. 1027 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,580 And their dollars are choosing, you know, Pepsi over Coke. 1028 00:43:08,580 --> 00:43:09,240 I guess so. 1029 00:43:09,529 --> 00:43:09,950 And 1030 00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:13,410 Other Guy: I, I think part of your conversation, I, I wish that. 1031 00:43:14,460 --> 00:43:18,150 You know, these, these star athletes instead of, you know, whoever's writing 1032 00:43:18,150 --> 00:43:21,299 them the check to talk about their product, whether they use it or not. 1033 00:43:21,299 --> 00:43:24,690 Like just, you don't have to get paid. 1034 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,600 You know, it's not every, not everything's a sponsorship deal. 1035 00:43:27,870 --> 00:43:33,330 If you want to talk about joining the, you know, focus on stem or, you know, be 1036 00:43:33,330 --> 00:43:34,860 the

that's their, that 1040 00:43:38,685 --> 00:43:39,345 Other Guy: that's what they do. 1041 00:43:39,484 --> 00:43:41,234 Un unfortunately, that is the case. 1042 00:43:41,234 --> 00:43:41,294 Yeah. 1043 00:43:41,294 --> 00:43:43,395 That's, that's our society we live in. 1044 00:43:43,504 --> 00:43:43,794 I. 1045 00:43:45,150 --> 00:43:46,080 I agree with you. 1046 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:46,440 Mo it. 1047 00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:47,970 I wish it was different, 1048 00:43:47,970 --> 00:43:49,680 Mo: but let me think about it. 1049 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,330 Are you really gonna send your kids to, to LeBron's Academy? 1050 00:43:54,660 --> 00:43:56,310 Are you gonna send 'em to Kanye's Academy? 1051 00:43:57,240 --> 00:43:57,690 Is this cool? 1052 00:43:57,690 --> 00:43:58,620 He was still open. 1053 00:43:58,860 --> 00:43:59,850 Don Academy, I 1054 00:43:59,850 --> 00:44:02,640 Producer Dex: think it is, but I, there was a point I did wanna make though, 1055 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,009 and this is, you know, since we're talking about athletes and not really 1056 00:44:05,009 --> 00:44:09,090 standing for anything, there were three particular athletes that I want to. 1057 00:44:10,174 --> 00:44:13,129 , that's Ronaldo killing MB Mbae and Paul pba. 1058 00:44:13,129 --> 00:44:13,569 Mm-hmm. 1059 00:44:13,654 --> 00:44:15,629 at three different press conferences. 1060 00:44:15,629 --> 00:44:19,620 Each of them took either a beer bottle or a soda can, and replaced them with water 1061 00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:23,310 while they were doing their interviews because they wanted, if the kids were 1062 00:44:23,310 --> 00:44:27,629 gonna watch, you know, their interviews, they want them to, to be better, you 1063 00:44:27,629 --> 00:44:29,609 know, by drinking water instead of beer or 1064 00:44:29,819 --> 00:44:30,240 Mo: soda. 1065 00:44:30,245 --> 00:44:34,500 So, so it sounds like if we want to change this narrative, then our 1066 00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:37,529 professional athletes should be willing to share the spotlight. 1067 00:44:37,950 --> 00:44:40,290 With a cause greater than themselves. 1068 00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:40,990 Yeah. 1069 00:44:40,990 --> 00:44:41,270 Yeah. 1070 00:44:41,275 --> 00:44:41,550 I don't know. 1071 00:44:41,550 --> 00:44:43,650 I don't know that that'll happen unless they get paid billions. 1072 00:44:43,650 --> 00:44:44,250 What do you think? 1073 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:45,780 I'm with you, Mo. 1074 00:44:45,990 --> 00:44:46,590 Yeah. 1075 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:47,340 All right, folks. 1076
