• 0:30Ryan Clark?

  Bro, our draft experience has been absolutely crazy. Right, we got an opportunity to be at the actual draft site, which is cool for me because well, as we know, I didn't get drafted. We sat down with Justin Reid, Lou Young, just crashes the party. So we throw him in the show too. But dog, we actually got to hear national anthem rehearsals. I mean, this has been really cool.

• 0:51Channing Crowder?

  What we were doing up there, man, to be invited to pivot, we appreciated it. YouTube came out, showed us love, man, I had a great time.

• 0:57Fred Taylor?

  And that's what we do. We had to pivot and pivot and pivot again, and we made it happen. Gotta love it.

• 1:03Ryan Clark?

  I mean, you know what it is, man? We accept, we adjust and we move forward. So you might hear some things in the background. Lou Young is going to crack a couple of jokes that may make you fall out your seat. But most of all, it's about the pivot and NFL 2023 draft. Here's the show.

• 1:18Speaker 05

  Hold up. Limited, they got stomach kind of pinning it. I thought they hear the witness shit. Got my people feeling militant. Way I'm feeling got me up. On the mission got me up. Knowing me, I got the key. Only bitch you not can trust. Trust. Limited, they got stomach kind of pinning it. I thought they hear the witness shit. Got my people feeling militant. Way I'm feeling got me up. On the mission got me up. Knowing me, I got the key.

• 1:43Ryan Clark?

  That is crazy, Jay. You came out here first year, dog.

• 1:46Speaker 06

  First year, man. It couldn't have wrote it any better.

• 1:48Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, some ugly in Texas.

• 1:50Ryan Clark?

  Yeah. He deserved it.

• 1:52Channing Crowder?

  Boy, you saw it both sides.

• 1:53Speaker 06

  I'm sure we're talking about, I done rode the highs and lows of everything, man. From thinking I'm about to go to the Super Bowl, being stripped away from it. Four and 12, two years in the grill. Now we on top.

• 2:05Fred Taylor?

  That's how excited I was going to New England. I'm like, yeah, I'm close.

• 2:09Ryan Clark?

  I already know, man. Check it out though, man. We are outside Union Station Chiefs Kingdom for the 2023 draft. Can't beat that. But if you are here, Chan, you have to have a Super Bowl champion. Y'all always have one, but now we got two.

• 2:28Speaker 06

  Troy Palamalu carried him to a Super Bowl.

• 2:32Speaker 06

  And he always talking.

• 2:34Ryan Clark?

  Man, but welcome to the Pivot, Jay Reid, Freddie T, Chan, to y'all. It's RC. Thank you to DraftKings, also our partners over at Happy Dad. I mean, you little bro to me. You're a superstar at Dutch Town in Louisiana. You go to Stanford, you take a different route from your older brother Eric. You go to Stanford, you're a star there. Should've been a first-round pick. We could talk about some of the things that we both feel precipitated you falling. You're great at Houston, become a leader on the team, have some ups and downs, some things you go through. Come to Kansas City, you fit right in, and you win a Super Bowl in your first year.

• 3:14Ryan Clark?

  And now here it is, we're in Kansas City, we're outside getting ready for the draft, and you're getting ready as the Super Bowl champion and as a Super Bowl champion. For you, what was the experience like this year, your first in Kansas City?

• 3:29Speaker 06

  Man, I'll tell you what, from where we started in Houston to, you know, first two years there going so well, having such high hopes, felt like we had a squad there, then to the next two years being what it was, going 4-12, and then coming into an organization like the Kansas City Chiefs. The first thing I noticed when I first got here was the difference in just how the teams are run organizationally. Because everything bleeds from the top down. And there was so much structure here, the way Coach Reid runs the ship. It kind of bleeds into the culture of the whole team and how guys buy into the program. There's no ego. Faculty, staff are willing to do jobs that aren't necessarily their job description, but anything to help the collective team do better, and that attitude bled into everything, man.

• 4:14Speaker 06

  And then when we first got into the building, I remember in Houston, sometimes we'd have conversations where it's like, we didn't want to bring up Super Bowl. Like, we didn't want to jinx it or something. But in Kansas City, from day one, it was Super Bowl. You know what I mean? Day one, it was Super Bowl. Training camp, OTAs. The message was, we here to win a Super Bowl. That's it. You know, and then that just happened throughout the season. I still remember week one in Arizona. In the defensive room, Coach Bagnola had a picture that he put up. It's like, we're gonna finish this season exactly in the spot that we start in the season. First games in Arizona, we're gonna finish in Arizona. That was a slide, and you know, fast forward, we ended up doing that, man. And battled adversity throughout the way, but came out on top. And it's a hell of a feeling being at the top, man, I can't tell you.

• 4:57Channing Crowder?

  You know that old dumb saying, like when somebody gets their ass whooped, they be like, oh, that's gonna make him a better man. I don't believe it, I don't want my ass whooped. But you personally, you're talking, the organizational change is there. Cause going to Pittsburgh, like Ryan took us back home and let us see what Pittsburgh is. You see, I saw the difference between the Dolphins and what Pittsburgh was, so I understand that. But you personally, like seeing the ups, having the hope, and then you're right. Houston, y'all wasn't gonna win.

• 5:21Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 5:21Channing Crowder?

  I don't know if you knew it, we knew y'all wasn't gonna win.

• 5:23Speaker 06

  I mean, that last year I was there especially, you know, but it was like, I was on a contract year. So it was like, I still gotta go out and ball, cause you know, it's more than just, than just this year.

• 5:32Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, but those, those ups and downs, that, you know, how was that emotionally? And did that, did that really make you better? Cause I think that's BS.

• 5:39Speaker 06

  I'll say this, man, like in the moment, that shit hurts. You know what I mean? Going through the ups and downs, funny, we're in Kansas City, but that playoff game, we were up by 24 points. And then ended up losing by 20 points. I'd say the only way that it made it better for me is I think it made me a better leader. And that I got to tell the story about it to other players. So it's like whenever I had a message, like for instance, halftime in the Super Bowl. And we're talking about like, we down 10 at that point. And we talk about, man, like the game's never over. Like I've been, we were up 24 and the other team came back. Like no matter what the lead is, no matter if there's time on the clock on both sides of it. If you ahead, you gotta step on they throat and finish the game out. And if you behind, you gotta fight and believe and come back.

• 6:23Fred Taylor?

  AJ, let's stick with the Super Bowl theme, right? We had Travis Kelsey on the show and he said exactly what you said. We don't talk about the other stuff, we just talk about Super Bowl. It's Super Bowl or nothing else. And that sparked a thought in my mind. I thought the first thing you would have seen when you got here was a potential Hall of Famer and all those practice matchups that you guys were gonna have. How did that make you better as a player to be able to go? Up against a potential first ballot Hall of Famer each and every day in practice.

• 6:53Speaker 06

  Travis is the real deal on so many different levels. I mean, the way he runs his routes is so light. You know, you wouldn't think that he's as shifty as he is just looking at him. But the guy is athletic and more than anything, he's smart, man. Him and Pat are on the same page. He's always open because he'll read a coverage and the route he's supposed to run isn't open. He'll adjust it, but he'll do it in a way that he don't get in anybody else's way. Like, he won't mess up somebody else's route, but he'll find the open zone. He'll, they'll just play basketball, man. It's funny, like, a lot of basketball players, you know, Pat got a big basketball background. We have this basketball goal that's in the locker room and guys play ball. Obviously, nobody touched Pat when he shoot the ball. Pat always gonna have an open shot, you know what I mean?

• 7:34Speaker 06

  But like, they kind of just freelancing and playing ball and, and seeing them do that and then seeing them play on the field and practice and in games, it's kind of the same thing. They really just playing basketball on grass, going out there, having fun.

• 7:45Fred Taylor?

  Does it look like the pregame stuff we see on TV all the time where you guys are shooting at the, at the goalpost?

• 7:51Speaker 06

  Yeah, like, we have fun, man, but it's like, the attitude is have fun when you're supposed to, but you know, when it's time to get serious, dudes get serious, you know? When we're on the field, we don't play any games about that.

• 8:01Ryan Clark?

  Speaking of serious, it was cool, I flew home with E. Reed, your brother. It was E. Reed on the aisle, Yonk in the middle, me by the window, you know? And just the pride that he had, I know your family. I was kind of telling Channing on the way up, I was like, man, he just comes from great stock, comes from great people. I was like, not only athletes, but intelligent, caring, concerned about more than themselves. Knowing what Eric went through in supporting Kaepernick and supporting a community and a culture that needed him, how was it to share that sort of win, that sort of success as a family unit for you guys with all you've been through?

• 8:44Speaker 06

  You know, that's actually the first game that my older brother actually came to watch me play. You know, we had one game before when he was playing with Carolina where we played each other at the same time. He won, unfortunately for me. Gets to bring that up all the time. But, you know, the experience that he went through, it hurt, man. I mean, he set two franchise records that on his last season. He set a record in sacks for a safety and tackles for a safety. And the next year, he doesn't get picked up just because of some of the things that aren't football that got attached to him that, you know, hurt his career. That was the first time he actually got to come and watch me play. It ended up being a Super Bowl game, man. It was especially bring, it was special to bring the whole family together and have them all at, that's the first time we got the whole family together

• 9:26Speaker 06

  like that at the game, man. It was on the biggest stage. So, I don't know, we got some pictures of me after the game going up. I had a headache. I was so excited, you know, running around screaming. It was, it was a special feeling. Yeah, it was.

• 9:40Channing Crowder?

  Purposely distance yourself from his opinions and the way he is because I think he could still play in the league, but it's obvious he's not, you know, he's not playing the league.

• 9:48Speaker 06

  It's a fine line with it because I would never, I would never not be on his side. That's my blood. That's my brother. You know what I mean? He was my, he was my idol. He's my role model when I was growing up. You know what I mean? I compared everything that I did to what he did at that age to like, as like measure myself on if I was on track. I will always have his back, but it's a, it's a fine line you got to play with just, I guess, picking your moments to be vocal and be loud about it because like I pick my moments, you know, intentionally, but I don't try and do it in a way that, you know, I've seen this movie before, you know? I know the potential on which way this can go. So, I pick my moments when I vocal about it and sometimes I just gotta, you know, sit tight because at the end of the day, I truly believe that I can have a bigger impact

• 10:33Speaker 06

  whenever I build my platform, my brand up bigger than, you know, what it is when I'm in a vulnerable state that I could get pulled from underneath me so quickly.

• 10:41Fred Taylor?

  E. Reid was a leader on all those solid Niners defenses. What was the one thing that stands out the most to you that he taught you as an older brother?

• 10:49Speaker 06

  Raw concepts, first of all. And, you know, I used to, being in, in the Bay Area too, I used to go play on Saturday and then I'd go watch him play on Sunday. And then he'd break down the film with me on what they were doing and, you know, why they were doing it. So, I think that gave me a head start. And then also, you know, he always hit people. So, I want to hit people.

• 11:08Speaker 06

  But I'm not as big as he is, you know, he was like 218. I'm like sitting at 205, 208. You know, five surgeries later, I try and pick my tackles a little bit better. But um, just that combination, be a smart player, but also, you know, you gotta, you gotta set the tone when someone come in your space. And you know, the film, you want the game to start on, on Monday. You know, when they turn the tape on, like, damn, I don't want, like, I want them to go talk to their quarterback. Yo, I'm gonna be upset at you if you put me in a bad position with this dude running the middle of the field, you know what I mean? So, you don't want to disappoint them.

• 11:39Channing Crowder?

  You had the cheat code.

• 11:41Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 11:41Channing Crowder?

  You were learning from all pro safety.

• 11:43Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 11:44Channing Crowder?

  In what, high school?

• 11:45Speaker 06

  Yeah, high school. When I was in, when he was in college, I was in high school doing the same thing. When I was in college, he was in the NFL.

• 11:51Channing Crowder?

  What was your drive? People had money. Honestly, told me about it, bro. People had money, you went to Stanford. You know what I'm saying? Like, you, you're a, you're a, you're a coddled, you're a coddled little baby.

• 12:02Speaker 06

  Yeah, but I just, I had so much passion, man. I had so much passion and, and will inside of me that I wanted to stand on my own too. And you know what I mean? I didn't want to ride the coattail of anybody else. Uh, my dad was an All-American track athlete. He had a record that stood for 20 years at LSU, uh, running the 110 hurdles. NCAA champion, was going to Olympic trials and then he ended up blowing out his knee. Um, so, but the thing that, the thing that always stuck with me though is like, my parents taught me and all my brothers, you know, I actually have another brother named Ryan too. He didn't end up making it professional, so sometimes, you know, people don't know, I have another brother on top of that too, and a sister. Um, but we were all driven to, you know, stand on our own two feet. I would never feel, like, I always take good advice.

• 12:44Speaker 06

  I'm ears open, take good advice. But at the end of the day, like, I want to be the man in charge of my life. You know what I mean? I don't want to be vulnerable, or you know what I mean? Have to try and ride on the coattails of somebody else. And we all had that inside of us, so.

• 12:59Fred Taylor?

  And the dynamic, um, because I think sometimes little brothers or, or younger brothers, you know, they can, sometimes they can slip through the cracks in that they want to do things their way. You know, they don't always reciprocate what the, the bigger brothers try to give them. So I, I want to ask you, what was that dynamic like? Did you, were you just a complete sponge? Did he have to force you to come train? Or did you say, look, E, let's, let's go, I want to, I want to learn, teach me something? What was that like?

• 13:25Speaker 06

  Nah, it was, it was always, like, we were always just competitive, man. It didn't matter what it was, cards, video games, football, we were, we were competitive and I just wanted to, um... I want to compete with him. I want to compete with both my brothers. Like, like I said earlier, everything that they did, like, whether they were 15 years old, when I was 15, I wanted to be one step higher than them. You know, as well as I liked to think that I was doing, I was still always Eric's little brother. And that pull to go to the LSU, man, I grew up on LSU bar, you know what I mean? Tiger Stadium, Death Valley going there, you know, people tailgating Friday night before the Saturday game. So the pull was definitely there, but it ended up being just a combination of, I wanted to pick a different route.

• 14:07Speaker 06

  You know, my brother helped me with that and saying that, you know, it's not where you go. You make the school, the school don't make you. So, you know, it's wherever you go, they'll find you. You know, I got D2 players going first round. Titus Howard was one of them.

• 14:17Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 14:18Speaker 06

  So the combination of that, wanting to broaden my horizons, like, you know, Louisiana, where I grew up, was a little bit of a bubble, and I kind of wanted something different. You know what I mean? I want to spread my wings out and grow. And it was just a good situation that Dwayne Akina recently left Texas, and he had a resume of guys, Earl Thomas, Michael Huff, Sage Griffin. So I knew that he had the experience to get me where I wanted to go. So all those things blended together with my brother playing down the street at San Francisco, it just made sense to do it. So it just pulled the trigger and did it.

• 14:49Channing Crowder?

  And you go to Stanford, you ball out, you declare early, and then you drop in the draft. You killed every category. I was looking at your stats on the way over here. Stupid, talented, and explosive. Now me, you face to face, you big as hell. Like, that gotta be a story. Has to be a reason why, first round grade, top safety in all the stands, you go to the third round.

• 15:09Speaker 06

  You know, when I was taking, I visited with 28 teams before the draft. Houston actually wasn't one of the teams that I talked to because they didn't think they had a shot at getting me. Their first pick was in the third round. You know what I mean? And I thought I was going one or two. And, you know, some of the visits, I ended up having some conversations on social justice issues. This was, you know, fresh off of Kaepernick and my brother kneeling. And, you know, I mean, this is still a very hot and taboo topic that was going around the league. I remember some teams asked me straight up, are you going to kneel? You know what I mean? Like, is this going to be a distraction? At that point, I'm like... Nah, Coach, I ain't gonna kneel. I ain't gonna kneel, Coach, you know what I mean? I do, I do what you need me to do. You feel me? But lo and behold, like, you know, round one go by, it's like, okay, I knew it was a possibility.

• 15:53Speaker 06

  Thing was, round two start going by. This point, my feelings start, you know, getting hurt. Like, I'm like, man, what's happened? I didn't think this was gonna happen to me. You know, I had a party with 100 people at the party. And, you know, my mom wanted, we wanted a big thing. I wanted to be small, but we had 100 people come. I considered walking out of the party, because my feelings was getting, like, hurt. I'm just dropping. I don't know, I don't know, like, when the bleeding gonna stop. And then, my, my name got called, man, ended up easing away all the tension. At that moment, I was happy that I had a sense of direction to go to. And, you know, my brother talked to me too, on just thinking about it on a business side, like, the good part about you not going round one is you don't have a fifth year option. So you can get to your bread quicker. You handle business your first four years, you make it up on the back end.

• 16:35Ryan Clark?

  Right, life is ironic, and it presents certain moments. You talked about speaking to 28 different teams. And having teams come straight out and ask you, are you gonna kneel? You start answering that question, and somebody starts singing the Star Spangled Banner in the back. So, the backdrop to you answering that question on the pivot is gonna be with someone serenading us with the very song.

• 17:03Speaker 06

  You can't write it any better, man. It's not scripted, bro. This is America, bro.

• 17:10Ryan Clark?

  I mean, I mean, you gotta rehearse, you know? I mean, we don't further show, which is probably why we didn't know this was gonna happen. Let's go back a little bit before coming to Kansas City. You and I had a conversation. I was walking through New York. You were gonna be, uh, you weren't gonna dress for a game. You were the team leader in Houston, but you had an incident that, you know, people reported in certain ways. And you were a guy who was leading that team with not only your play, but with the way that you handled yourself each day in the building. What was that moment like for you in understanding all that work you had put in? And now, much like your brother, your name was starting to be besmirched with some narratives that weren't necessarily true.

• 17:55Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm. Uh, it felt like everything that I had put, put in work to get to that point was put in jeopardy, just like that, off of one moment. And, you know, I don't, I don't ever judge men, you know, by care. I believe that some things... Sometimes actions happens as a product of circumstances and situations. And head coach at that time was in, you know, some tough position that he was in too. But, you know, watching my brother go through what he did and, you know, it ended up being a fight over the narrative. Whenever that happened, I was like, first thing I'm gonna do, I'm damn sure gonna control this narrative and let it know, like, this is what happened before I get, you know, put out there that I have character issues or something like that. Like, I've never been that guy. I've always been, you know, humble, respectful. I'll give you the show off my back, you know what I mean? I just wanna help out other people. So first thing was, I remember I called you too, man.

• 18:40Speaker 06

  You want to control the narrative of what was happening. And I didn't dress that game. Ended up letting know, the world know at the time of the kickoff, just because it felt like impactful time to know, yo, this is what happened, this is the story. Control the narrative of what my character was. And just kinda took back control there. We ended up having a conversation with the coach later, and he actually apologized for doing that because he didn't realize at the time the type of position he was putting me in with my free agency coming up that season. And he apologized for it, I forgave him, and, you know, we moved on from it like men. But shit, man, it was, it was like a, dog, this can't be happening to me too type of moment.

• 19:21Ryan Clark?

  And, you know, for you, it was cool. I got to, obviously, I watch every game and, you know, the group chat goes crazy when you make a play, we know how we do. But you taking pictures after the game, like, you looked genuinely happy.

• 19:33Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:34Ryan Clark?

  What was it like to finally start to get those moments where the hard work, the effort, the dedication, the discipline started to turn into success? Not only success, but joy?

• 19:47Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 19:47Ryan Clark?

  Right? To actually have some joy when it came to playing this game?

• 19:50Speaker 06

  Yeah, man, you know, it's like, I fulfilled a childhood dream, man. We all, you know, put the helmet on, shoulder pads on, talk about we wanna win the Super Bowl, but it's like, to have the feeling that you actually did it, man. You know what I mean? You, you look back on those moments on, you know, the trials and tribulations you go through growing up, overcoming obstacles.

• 20:09Speaker 06

  Yeah, I'm blessed in the way that I grew up, but we all have our own trials and tribulations to get through to where we going to and to look back on those moments and, you know, be at the top, you know what I mean? Unbelievable feeling.

• 20:23Speaker 06

  Shit, man, pure joy, happiness, and I was happy I got to share that with my families.

• 20:28Fred Taylor?

  You got the Super Bowl ring. What's next? Can you guys repeat?

• 20:32Speaker 06

  Shit, that's a goal, man. I mean, at this point, everything now is for glory. Glory, legacy, you know, let's not let that hunger go away. You know what I mean? I can kind of get used to the parades and, you know, being on top. And, you know, we talking about the world tour that we had this offseason, just a lot of meetings, a lot of shaking hands, taking advantage of the momentum. Everything, life's good when you on top, man. Everything fold into it. You get more opportunities, you meet more people. You got things you want to do in the community or in business. You know, things just fall in your lap when you on top, man. And honestly, I want more of it. The whole team do.

• 21:06Channing Crowder?

  And quickly, speaking of Chiefs, you are always a liability as a defensive player. You got Patrick Mahomes, you got Travis Kelsey. Like, I don't like y'all, I don't know why, because y'all give up too many damn points because my man Pat got to chase them. Like, I know y'all don't have no problem with that because that's a cool thing to be in. But do y'all feel like your defense gets the respect exposed to?

• 21:26Speaker 06

  Hell, no, man. Hell, no. We gonna do it right now, we don't get the respect. That's like, that's like our calling card, man. We have certain games this weekend, you know, most of the time, people don't remember. You know what I mean? But even the Cincinnati game, defense won that game in the playoffs.

• 21:40Channing Crowder?

  Yeah.

• 21:40Speaker 06

  You know what I mean? There's a couple other games throughout the season, defense won. But, you know, we got two superstars and they exciting, they electric. But, you know, week in, week out, we want to be the reason too, man. We not gonna get the same glory that they do because, you know, offense sell the tickets.

• 21:54Channing Crowder?

  Yeah.

• 21:54Speaker 06

  But when it come time to nut up and man up and, you know, I mean, make a stop, we want that on our back to come and handle it.

• 22:00Ryan Clark?

  You mentioned getting to shake different hands and going on the world tour and the different doors that are open to you. You know, we FaceTime after the game, bro. You couldn't even talk. And that was like the beginning of the party. We didn't even get to the parade and the rest of it. What was the celebration like being a world champion?

• 22:18Speaker 06

  Yeah. You know, it's funny, so my crib in Arizona actually got built the week, it finished getting built the week before we got out there for Super Bowl. And it was 10 minutes from our C motel. So after the game, ended up sending the world out, you know, we go training in Phoenix every offseason. So I know some people, and we battled out through this huge house party, man. Probably had like 150 people come to it, unlimited liquor, partying, had all the guys come through. That was the first day. Then we come back on the parade here in Kansas City. The parade happened to fall on my birthday. So then we go through the parade, you know, we had some of the young dudes that were on, you know, drinking early. I chose the way, I was, I'mma wait until we actually get on, on the buses before I start drinking, because we gonna be on there for three hours anyway. You know what I mean? Some of the young cats talking about why I'm not drinking yet.

• 23:04Speaker 06

  And I was like, we gonna see by the end of it. You know, they been drinking for six hours, some of them ended up in the medical tent getting real charred out, you know what I mean? They having a good time, you know? And then after that, ended up going out afterwards, and like, oh, I actually ended up throwing up that night too. Just because we were just drinking all day long, bro. And then we had so many young dudes, specifically in the secondary, that I wanted them to cap it off. I want them to feel like champions, you know what I mean? Want to celebrate like champions. So ended up taking them to Vegas. We stayed at the win, and ended up going out to Dre's. And then we had some paid appearance at the win, you know what I mean? To help us pay for the rooms that we had there anyway. But then those two things, bro, went out like champions. And then ever since then, just, you know, still, still waiting on some downtime to have like a vacation or something.

• 23:49Speaker 06

  You know, just been traveling, shaking hands, meeting people after that. You're back good?

• 23:54Speaker 06

  Because I know you've been stroking. You hear all the stories? Oh, me and the guy, me and a couple guys went over there and the guys got together and the guys. Hey, man, hey, I done passed the torch, bro. I done, and I'll tell you what, my first two years, I used to go nuts, bro. Especially being in Houston. Yes. I was nuts, bro. But now I like seeing my young dudes have fun, man. I'm passing the torch on to them. So if a bad one come up and try to holler at you, you say, this is my friend John? Yeah, I pass it on, man. I done been there and done that, bro. You a good man. You know what I mean? And we didn't play to go. I had it.

• 24:28Speaker 06

  Slide on your way. It's my boy.

• 24:32Channing Crowder?

  And they be like, hey, that's Chan.

• 24:34Ryan Clark?

  How you doing? Nice to meet you. We've had the opportunities to have the conversations and it is, it's fun to talk about the parties and the different things. But I know you have a, an idea and a thought for bigger impact, right? For, for affecting more. You talked about building your brand and getting to a point to where you aren't vulnerable for somebody to pull the rug from underneath you. What are some of those things you want to do going forward to make the sort of impact that I think your family is about? That Eric was about, but more importantly, that Justin will be about.

• 25:08Speaker 06

  Yeah. Speaking of just getting involved in the community, man, you know, I, I feel like I've seen a lot of different lives. Growing up in Louisiana, um, in an area that wasn't too bad, but wasn't really too great either. Um, you know, I had everything at my school. I had people get married at 18, people go to prison, rob, you know? Some friends died, like all of that stuff, right? And then I go to Stanford and you had a school where you got ambassadors, kids and Nobel Prize winners and all of that. And you know, I end up asking myself, the question is like, how do you get from, you know? Where I grew up and what some of the dudes I was going through there and the kids that's at Stanford, like what's really different about them? Cause they're really not that different. You know what I mean? A lot of it, I just came down to environment. I think there's some baseline necessities that people need.

• 25:51Speaker 06

  Knowing where your next meal is coming from, um, having security, like if you don't have those baselines and you're going to have to do what you gotta do. To try and survive, right? And then that's where some dudes get in trouble. But if you're able to help provide for that and help them see, and then provide some mentorship guidance, um, give them passion, right? You know, everybody want to be athletes because it's easy to have passion in that. But also for those of who, who not fortunate to be athletes, having a mentor tell them how to be passionate in something else and giving them resources to have access to that. So that's what I believe. You know, I've worked with some foundations back in Houston, kids meals, um, you know, that provides food to kids that don't have access to it. And then, um, some cancer nonprofits, also me going to Stanford, being involved in the tech space.

• 26:33Speaker 06

  I wanted to help pay that forward to the next generation. So. My foundation, Jay Reid & D, actually focuses on providing some of the essentials like nutrition, some of the baseline things that I think just to help people survive so that way they can actually focus. When information is given to them, they can actually take advantage of it and be present in that moment to learn from it. Instead of being worried about, you know, taking care of their little brother, you know, I mean, that's at home and might not have a meal later tonight. From that too, just trying to connect dudes, I try to think like, what's the smallest way to make an impact on somebody? And what worked for me was I had good mentors, man. I had good role models, good mentors. And I believe strongly in that if you put a mentor in someone's life and show them that they have a path and a goal that they can chase so that it's attainable.

• 27:15Speaker 06

  And here's resources to help you get there. All you gotta do is believe in yourself to get there. You help put kids in that position, man. I think anybody can be successful. So I believe in that strongly and, you know, that's what I want my lasting impact off the field to be about.

• 27:28Fred Taylor?

  And Jay, with that, from the boot to Stanford, Stanford to Houston, Houston here in Kansas City, from a third round pick to a Super Bowl champion, what has been your biggest pivot in life to this point?

• 27:41Speaker 06

  Honestly, I think getting out of Louisiana might have been the biggest pivot. Just because I love home, man. You can't beat the food and things like that. But I think that my mindset was so closed off because I just didn't know what was out there in the world. And when I left the nest and, you know, went out and explored out and ended up having conversations with people, I think that that, you know, put a light and a hunger inside of me that, you know, whatever I want to do in business, I'm in the commercial real estate right now. I met people in commercial real estate. They showed me what they did. You know, they want to talk to me about football. I want to talk to you about how you got a billion dollar company. You know what I mean? Pick their brains and then having those conversations just drove me, man.

• 28:24Speaker 06

  It just drove me towards like it's non-stop. Like I wake up excited to get to work. I get excited to play football. And then when I get home, I'm excited to, you know, keep enhancing myself off the field, whether it's, you know, getting my broker's license or what have you. So I think leaving home is good, being able to reinvent myself, you know what I mean? So that's some of the things that might have tagged on to you while you're growing up, you're able to be in a new space and, you know, start over from a fresh start. I think that that was big for my development.

• 28:50Ryan Clark?

  You know, you talked about your lasting impact off of the field and, you know, obviously now the things that you learned by being away and having those conversations and getting those opportunities for growth. But just personally, Jay Reid, like you come from a family background. Chan was trying to see how your back felt throughout.

• 29:10Channing Crowder?

  You know what? I know why he got so smart. I figured it out.

• 29:13Ryan Clark?

  Why?

• 29:14Channing Crowder?

  He was hitting them smart girls at Stanford. I used to do that.

• 29:18Speaker 06

  Like osmosis? Like it was just coming through.

• 29:20Channing Crowder?

  Yeah. It makes sense.

• 29:23Ryan Clark?

  You cannot get smarter through your penis.

• 29:25Channing Crowder?

  Bro.

• 29:26Ryan Clark?

  Not a real thing.

• 29:27Channing Crowder?

  If you got a Pulitzer Award and I hit you?

• 29:29Speaker 06

  I'm getting smarter.

• 29:30Channing Crowder?

  I'm getting smarter. That's a fact.

• 29:32Ryan Clark?

  That's a fact. You know, bro, for you, you ever think about what you'll be like as a father and a family man? You know, you mentioned mentorship and your relationships with your father, your brothers, your sister. You ever think about down the line Daddy Jay Reid or Uncle Jay Reid?

• 29:49Speaker 06

  Absolutely. My parents were good, man. And, you know, looking back on it, I have so much more appreciation for them now than I ever did when I was growing up with them. And I appreciate them in that stance. But my parents never missed a game, man. Like, it didn't matter if we had games, you know, in Florida, Texas, or wherever. My parents tried to make a way to go to every one of them when we were going up through high school, man. They were just present. Their food bill was off the chain. And, you know, being able to grow up in that and seeing a family structure, having a father in my life that, you know, I mean, showed me how to be a man the right way, taking care of your family. You know, you don't have to overcompensate for anything if you comfortable in who you are as a person. And then you had a mom, too, that believed in you and believed that you can do anything

• 30:33Speaker 06

  in this world you put your mind to. You know, I would want that for myself, you know, when I have kids. And, you know, I'll be happy with whatever I have. Hopefully, I have a son, too, that I can bring up and, you know, show him the ropes, how to be a right man for him to lead a family one day, too.

• 30:47Ryan Clark?

  For me, it's just an honor to sit with you and kind of just let the world know the things that I already do. I'm just proud of you. And I think the man that you will continue to grow into as the world gets. gets to see more of him. There's only going to be more opportunities. It's only going to bring more light to the community. And I think you were meant to be so much more than a football player. So keep growing into that, man. And shoot, celebration over, dawg. Let's go try to win two in a row.

• 31:16Speaker 06

  Uh huh, right, right, two. I appreciate that, man. All you guys, it's fun to get on the board with you. RC, you know you my big brother, bro. We always been there and had my back. So I appreciate that. And you know, it's fun hopping on the pivot.

• 31:26Ryan Clark?

  Yes, sir.

• 31:27Channing Crowder?

  Hey, Mary, you a smart woman now. I got you. I did it.

  Is this Lou or is this on?

• 33:09Ryan Clark?

  Hey, they said.

• 33:09Fred Taylor?

  Everything.

• 33:11Ryan Clark?

  They said he, they lied and said he played DB. I know he played DB with them legs.

• 33:15Fred Taylor?

  Uh oh. Come on, man.

• 33:17Ryan Clark?

  He got the knee on knees.

• 33:21Ryan Clark?

  Deion say, "Why you doin' me like that, man?" I'm going here.

• 33:24Channing Crowder?

  Prime would talk about it when we went out there to Colorado.

• 33:26Speaker 07

  My stepmom, she said, "Lou, they brought you up." I said, "Where?" She said, "Yeah, to my dad, he be watching." Now he on YouTube now. Cause I'm on YouTube and stuff. So now he subscribed to everything.

• 33:38Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 33:39Speaker 07

  So he like, "Hey, man, come here. Let me show you this. They got you right here." And he fast forward and he say, "Look, look, look, what they say." Lou would say, "See, that's you."

• 33:51Channing Crowder?

  That's support, man.

• 33:53Ryan Clark?

  Welcome to the Pivot, Lou. I mean, you really need no introduction, especially on this platform. I mean, no, no, they can introduce me.

• 34:01Ryan Clark?

  You need no introduction. But what I'm most interested is, is yeah, we got Lou Young and you're funny as hell. You can impersonate anybody, but it's the work ethic. And I think a work ethic like that comes from having a background in athletics.

• 34:17Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 34:17Ryan Clark?

  Comes from understanding what it takes to excel in a world where a lot of us feel like that's what we want to do for a living. That's who we want to be in our career. And then now parlaying that same work ethic, parlaying that same sort of discipline into something else that's extremely fun and that's making people laugh. So welcome to the Pivot. Obviously, you know Chan, Freddie T, I'm RC. To Happy Dad, our partners, thank you. Also to DraftKings, our sponsors. Everybody who subscribes and likes the show, all of your comments, all of those things are so greatly appreciated by the three of us. So Lou, I actually wanna go back to that, bro.

• 34:57Ryan Clark?

  Like, you know, you look at all of the funniest comedians or the most successful entertainers. Those are things that they often fall into, right? You learn you have that talent. But you were a ball player, man. How much love did you have for football?

• 35:14Speaker 07

  I mean, that was, that was the dream. You know what I mean? Definitely sports. You know, my dad had me in everything from Taekwondo. They got me a black belt when I was 14. You know what I mean? A lot of people don't know that. That's what I be saying, like, don't get these jokes confused. You know what I mean? I can go here if I need to. So that mean you're a ninja or a samurai? A little bit of both. My nana, my nana got-

• 35:39Ryan Clark?

  He gonna sweep the leg, Johnny! Sweep the leg!

• 35:42Speaker 07

  My nana got a crazy story. She said the first day, I was three years old, they signed me up. My dad lied about my age. He said I was five. And she said I was in the corner with a sword, just... She said, "They gonna kick this little boy out." She said, "Well, get the damn sword out of his hand." But yeah, so, from there, that work ethic from there, that discipline, I learned from like, that Taekwondo. Like, it's a, it's like a time and a place for everything. You know what I mean? And I guess my dad must have known my personality as a kid. That I was a little, little hyper, you know, I'm over here, I'm over there.

• 36:16Speaker 07

  Not to say that, you know, I didn't make my mistakes and everything like that, but that taught me a lot of discipline. And then went from basketball, football, to baseball. So my dream was really like, I'm gonna go pro in something. With, with sports wise. And I always told my boys, like, you know, we have a tournament. I will always stay with the coach and his family or whatever. And he had a team staying over there. I'd make everybody laugh in the basement. I'm making fun of the team mom, or the uncle at the game, or the lady on the fish fry. You know what I mean? I'm just joking. I always did that. I always had to like, have a balance with the seriousness of the competitiveness in sports.

• 36:55Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 36:56Speaker 07

  From there, I always, I told my boys, like, when I was like seven, eight years old, I was like, "I'm gonna go pro, and I'm gonna be on TV." So, however I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna get there.

• 37:05Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 37:05Speaker 07

  My boys would tell you that, like, they still with me to this day. They'll tell you. Brother been saying that since he was like seven, eight years old. So it was always part of my dream. And everybody be like, "Oh, that's cap." Like, you know, you wanted to go pro, well, yeah. But I had a plan at the same time.

• 37:21Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 37:22Speaker 07

  My dad would make me watch Nick Saban DB tapes and stuff. Ordering them, you know what I mean, left and right. Pete Maravich basketball tapes and stuff like that. I'm serious, bro, I'm real talk. But I would be sneaking around, like, in his- Red Fox, Eddie Murphy collection and Bill Coe, like I'm looking at all the Richard Pryors and I would be, you know, pumping them in. I would be sneaking with the VHS, watching those and then he'd come upstairs and I'd pop into Nick Saban. But at the same time, I was always a fan of comedy.

• 37:53Fred Taylor?

  Hey, Lou, you spoke about personality and you have a million of them. I pulled you up on Wikipedia and this don't necessarily look like somebody that had much of a personality.

• 38:05Channing Crowder?

  That's straight out of jail.

• 38:06Speaker 07

  What is wrong with your head? Can I say something about that? That was a time in college I was going through a lot.

• 38:15Speaker 07

  There was a lot of things that was going on.

• 38:16Fred Taylor?

  Did you still, you used to still at this age?

• 38:20Speaker 07

  Come on, man, what you, what you, what you got, wire on?

• 38:22Fred Taylor?

  Nah, I'm just saying, well, I do, I'm mic'd up. What no, with all the connections you've made, you gotta know somebody at Wikipedia to get this off of there.

• 38:30Speaker 07

  You know what's crazy, you know what's crazy? My rookie, I was on four different teams. Like, I cut a lot and I got to Jacksonville, the third team, and it was a dude, I don't know why they brought up that picture when I had the baldy. He was going in on me and then I was in the back and I said, okay. All right, I said, okay, I got you. We got on that bus and I ate him up. Boom, boom, I just, ha, ha. I said, keep trying me, bro. I have a long B, I'm gonna make it a long trip.

• 39:00Channing Crowder?

  He ain't know you had some bullets too in your gun.

• 39:01Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, you know, you know how it be. Got that money, I'm undrafted, he got that money on, so he walking around with the Louis Burs. Got the, that's when the Balenciagas was real popping, the big leather ones. So, you know, he know about me.

• 39:17Fred Taylor?

  How do you find the time, you're everywhere and you're, you're doing everybody's show, you're presenting, you're, you got ads, stuff that you're, you're doing everything. How do you find the time to get to, you know, all those places?

• 39:30Speaker 07

  God, I mean, I'm blessed, man, real talk. I, I, I'm a, I'm a servant at the same time. Like, I feel like my gift is a, is a servant from God, so this is what I'm here on earth to do. And then at the same time, I think the biggest acknowledgement I could give myself is that I find time to be there for my daughter and my loved ones. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, whether it's, I'm at a week here, a week there. Within that week, y'all better fly me to New York to get my daughter. And then from there, I'm gonna go to my nana in DC. You know what I'm saying, my mom. And get them that time and let them know like, you know, daddy on the road, but at the same time, I'm here, I'm present. Even when I'm on the road, I'm, they was miking me up. I'm on FaceTime with my daughter, she crying, tripping with her mom, you know what I'm saying?

• 40:14Speaker 07

  But at the same time, it's like, I'm a human being. And I think the main thing for me is that it doesn't feel like work. It's work, but I'm having fun. You know, I'm doing what I'm on here to do. Like, I'm making people laugh. And people tell me, people tell me like, it was two years ago, and that's when I really realized, like, I'm really doing what I'm supposed to be doing on earth. Dude's on the sick bed with his mom, he telling me like, he's literally looking at my videos with his mom to get through the process in the hospital. Like, come on, man, that's bigger than any check I can get. So for me, it's bigger than the check and everything, like the notoriety and everything like that.

• 40:55Speaker 07

  It's me knowing that I'm impacting people's lives, and I started with it from a phone.

• 41:01Channing Crowder?

  And speaking of a check, Lou, is this your job? Like, do you have another side job? Is this your side job?

• 41:08Speaker 07

  No, this is full-time.

• 41:09Channing Crowder?

  It's full-time?

• 41:10Speaker 07

  And that's why I say with sports, it's every day. Like, the grind don't stop. So for me, like, that work ethic that I learned from sports, especially being in the league, I'm like, man, none of these dudes gonna work me.

• 41:24Channing Crowder?

  But how do you get better? Like, you're talking about running, running, you get faster, conditioned, strong, workout, do that to eat better.

• 41:30Speaker 07

  For me, it's just challenging myself. You know what I'm saying? I'm challenging myself, I make new characters, I make new storylines. I'm challenging myself, you know what I'm saying? I'm not afraid of nothing, really. Like, I done been in the room, walked in the locker room with the Grim Reaper. And they on my back, you know what I'm saying? I'm sitting down and... Right after the meeting, I got cut. So really, I'm thankful for like all the experiences and the heartaches I've had with football. Because now it's like, man, y'all can't try me with anything. I'm built for this.

• 42:03Ryan Clark?

  So, I know that we, when we watch your skits or we see it on social or on YouTube, like we busting up, right? But sometimes you're actually laughing too, like you can't get through it. Bro, so when you're sitting around and you say, you know what? I'mma lay in my bed like Gilly and I'm like, you gotta lick it before you stick it. You can't. Bro, how do you, what is, and I think this kind of adds on to Channing's question though. What's the process of building a skit or of building a character? Or of just seeing something and going, man, I've seen Gilly a million times do these certain things. Here is how I'm gonna add Lou Young to it and make it funny.

• 42:42Speaker 07

  I think, growing up, I was a big like movie buff, like love movies. Love, like me and my mom used to sit around and watch Saturday Night Live and Living Color, Mad TV. And just like put on a show for the family. My dad, he's into comedy, like you come to my house, my household, you better have some tough skin. You know what I'm saying? So, it's nothing scripted, it's all improv. And I just kind of, I'm like, if I'm watching like a training dance, I'm like, okay, that's what he said, but this is what I would've said. But I'mma put his flow in it with my flow and mix it like with Deion, with Coach Prime. If he's saying, "I'm coming," right? Then I'mma mix it in there, it's like, you know.

• 43:28Ryan Clark?

  He's saying whatever he want over here, dawg.

• 43:30Speaker 07

  You know what I mean? Like I'm, "That go, go, nine thousand, y'all. I'm coming." If she look at me when I'm in there, I'm coming. You know what I mean? Like that's, I'm mixing it in there, but that's kind of how it makes it my touch on it. You know what I mean? It's not like I'm stealing, I'm just recreating and putting it on. And I got a lot of inspiration from like. Martins and Jamie Foxxes and like the Richard Pryors and Eddie Murphys, um, the Wayans, the whole family of the Wayans, because I, I always liked how they would take like older movies and then put they, they, they, uh, flip on it. And that's kind of how I'm trying to do it.

• 44:08Channing Crowder?

  And as you bring up them dudes, you brought up Red Fox earlier, all the, all the greats, Martin and all them. And you're not making it in football, right?

• 44:16Speaker 07

  Mm-hmm.

• 44:17Channing Crowder?

  I believe that what you're doing now might be harder than making the league. If you look at the dudes that made it in the league. To the dudes that's been successful comedians.

• 44:25Speaker 07

  Right.

• 44:26Channing Crowder?

  It's less successful comedians than NFL players.

• 44:29Speaker 07

  Facts, but I, I think, put it like this, I was telling, uh, I was, I was telling Cam, like I played with Cam in, in Carolina, right? And he was just like, man, Lou, you know what I mean? He said like, bro, you evolving, bro. Like he gave me my flowers. And when I was a rookie coming in the Panthers locker room, my fourth team after getting cut, right? That was the first dude that came and just dap me up after one practice. And he seen, he seen me from that to this. Seen me grinding and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? But see me cutting up in the locker room and the lunchroom and what have you, right? On the bus, on the plane.

• 45:05Channing Crowder?

  It gotta be sweeter.

• 45:06Speaker 07

  It's definitely sweeter, but it doesn't feel like, it doesn't feel as hard. You know what I mean? Because I'm, I'm happy. I'm having fun.

• 45:14Channing Crowder?

  Yeah.

• 45:14Speaker 07

  Not to say that football wasn't fun, right? And, and the, the perks of football and being in NFL wasn't fun, right? I went to the Super Bowl. Like ain't no, ain't too many people can say they went to the Super Bowl.

• 45:25Channing Crowder?

  Right.

• 45:27Channing Crowder?

  Y'all both can go to hell.

• 45:31Channing Crowder?

  Little point, bitches.

• 45:34Fred Taylor?

  Y'all always hurting our hearts like this, man.

• 45:37Speaker 07

  But, but I ain't joking, I'm just saying like, I ain't saying like I was a star player on that team. Definitely I'm grateful for it, but I don't know, it's just, it feel like I'm more impactful in the world without the helmet on. As soon as I took that helmet off, it was like, I'm touching, I'm, I'm, you know, I'm able to reach so many more people than I ever did when I was playing football. I think that's the craziest part to me. I'm walking around, when I was playing in the league, well, nobody like, hey Lou! They was like, I'm just walking through.

• 46:12Channing Crowder?

  Who's that buddy with the funny shaped head?

• 46:17Speaker 07

  He gotta play, he gotta play a sport or something. You know what I mean? He play something, bro. He's all swole. Now, I'm like, okay. You know what I mean? Like, it was case in point. I'm in the airport after Easter with my daughter. We sitting there. I'm in daddy mode. The dude, it's him and like his wife and somebody else. And I could, you know, you could feel somebody looking at you, feel that heat. But I'm still in daddy mode and I'm getting her right. He like, hey Lou, man, I ain't trying to run up on you or nothing. Boy, you doing your, you know what I mean? Doing your, I never got there with that helmet on. So, that's the, that's the difference.

• 46:52Fred Taylor?

  Lou, it all started with a phone.

• 46:54Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 46:55Fred Taylor?

  And you look around, you see our production, your processes, your production and your team. Like, how many of it are you? Like, how many people do you have that, that travel with you?

• 47:06Speaker 07

  One. My boy, right, TJ, my boy, my boy Authentic, man. That's, it's me and him. Me, I've known him since I was six years old. He was eight. We played Little League football together.

• 47:18Fred Taylor?

  So, everything that you've put out, everything, it's just been you?

• 47:22Speaker 07

  From the, okay, from the beginning, one of my best friends, her name is Tiger Pride. She, we known each other since college. She would always tell me, man, you should like really do social media. And that's when like Divine and stuff was out like that. And obviously, you know, playing college ball, you know, a little limit. You can't do so, it's, it's a thin line. And I was still getting in trouble. So, I was just like, all right, I need to just walk a straight, narrow. Right. 2019, I think she was the first ones that just, just put the camera on me and helped me. And I, I learned how to edit from her. She didn't even teach me like, she didn't, she wasn't like, all right Lou, this is how you do this. I would just be like sitting there watching her, watching her edit my stuff.

• 48:07Speaker 07

  And then her mom was like, has Lou ever tried to do Steve Harvey? And then that's how the Steve Harvey stuff blew. Then me and him linked up in like 2020 around pandemic time. And that's when I started doing that Coach Lou and making more longer content. And I was learning about the YouTube, how to make longer content. I'm still, I'm still learning. You know what I mean? And now, he shoots it and I edit all my stuff.

• 48:28Fred Taylor?

  So, no overhead. Let me hold something.

• 48:31Speaker 07

  Come on, man.

• 48:32Fred Taylor?

  You're living like a first-rounder now. Hey, why you watching your pockets?

• 48:35Speaker 07

  I got, I got seven cameras in here, man. You know what I mean?

• 48:39Fred Taylor?

  Check's light. I bet you got something.

• 48:41Speaker 07

  No, man, look, put it like this. I ain't telling people what I got, but when they come for them brand deals, they, "Oh, we can send our film..." No, no, baby. I got my man T right there. He gonna get that cut.

• 48:52Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 48:53Speaker 07

  And then that edit fee, oh, that's me. So we get, I need all that. I need all that. I'm, I'm, I'm overhead over the overhead.

• 49:01Ryan Clark?

  You, you talked about the Eddie Murphys, Richard Pryors. One of my favorite stand-up comedies is Raw. And Eddie Murphy talks about the fact that he cusses so much, but then like when people run up on him, that's foreign. They be like, "F you, man." So if I meet Eddie, right, and stuff like that. Do you, do you, do you get, do you get people that run up on you and immediately want you to be funny?

• 49:25Speaker 07

  They immediately want me to... Hey, man, do that, do that, do that shit you just, uh, that, that goddamn, uh... Man, do that, do that Dion, man. I mean, he do the thing with the uncle and, and, man, do the shit you just did with the... Hey, bro, man, hey, man, I'm trying to get to my room, bro. What's wrong with... But at the same time, I learned after my rookie year. That's why I always revert back to football and the lessons. In Denver, we stayed in Ramada, and I tore the whole Ramada up. That, right after they cut me. Tore it up. I was emotional. And my, my agent, Tony Page...

• 50:00Ryan Clark?

  Shit, they called me.

• 50:01Speaker 07

  And they was like, "Man, you got, you know, when you, when you walk into a room, you gotta leave it, you know, you leave it better than you left it." And I said, "Okay, I learned from that." So now anytime somebody me, I'm, I don't, I'm dapping, I love, because it's genuine and I appreciate it. And I don't ever, I don't ever wanna be like, uh, uh, oh, like about, you know, I mean, I might give you a little... I ain't gonna give you a whole show. You gotta pay for that.

• 50:24Speaker 07

  Well, I could get a little sample. I could get a little, you know, I could get a little orange chicken. But I ain't gonna give you the whole thing.

• 50:30Ryan Clark?

  So, moving into this part of our lives, right? The second career, much like you moved into your second career and you say you're touching more people or impacting more people with the helmet off, which I feel like we are too. But, the other piece of that is, I feel like you offer a different piece of yourself in this, right? Like, when you're playing football, even though it's what you do, it's not who you are, right? When you're giving somebody comedy, you're giving them a piece of you. When we get an opportunity to talk, or we get a chance to bring up an important topic that we're sharing ourselves with, that's a piece of us that people can reject. How often do you think about, "Okay, I wonder if people are gonna like this," or "I wonder if I'm good enough"? Do those questions ever come to mind?

• 51:14Speaker 07

  I wouldn't say there's doubt. I'm very, very confident. And I've always been self-confident, you know what I mean? I tell people all the time, I walk around, "No jewels, no nothing." Because my confidence is gonna shine brighter than any type of chain or whatever on me. But, you know what I mean? I'm human, you know what I'm saying? So, obviously, it's like, "Shit, I don't know." You know, I don't know if they're gonna like it or not. But at the same time, I'm doing what I like. So, I just got out of that. I think first, early on, it was like, like, "How you think this is gonna hit? Is that gonna hit?" Now, it's like, well, every episode of Martin wasn't a hit. Every episode of Jamie Foxx wasn't a hit.

• 51:58Speaker 07

  You know, every movie Eddie Murphy put out wasn't a hit-hit. But, you know what I mean? But, there's so many out there, that you got to go through something. So, that's where I'm at with it. I'm like, "Shit, one of these gonna hit." So, if one hit, then you gonna look at some more. And then you might look at some more, then another one hit, you gonna have to come back again. So whatever you didn't see at first, you gonna have to give it to me on the back end.

• 52:21Channing Crowder?

  And you bring up the Coach Lou, you know, you do all so many characters, man. I've been a part of your resume. You got me one time. And after you did me, the first thing you said when you saw me, you was like, "Bro, we good, we good." And we was good.

• 52:36Speaker 07

  Real shit, cuz you a big dude.

• 52:38Channing Crowder?

  But you mess with a lot of folks, Lou.

• 52:41Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 52:42Channing Crowder?

  Do you really think you got to somebody, that anybody will be like, "Bro, don't do that shit no more?"

• 52:45Speaker 07

  Nah, nah, okay, okay, you know, full disclosure. I ain't gonna lie, I thought Javonte Davis was gonna beat my ass one time. And he five-five. But you saw when he did a Ryan Garcia. Sat him down.

• 52:59Channing Crowder?

  Man, tapped down, it took a minute. No ma's.

• 53:02Speaker 07

  Right, no ma's.

• 53:03Channing Crowder?

  No ma's.

• 53:06Ryan Clark?

  That might be racist, by the way.

• 53:08Channing Crowder?

  My wife's Cuban. Go on.

• 53:11Speaker 07

  But, but I was doing like, I think what kind of started skyrocketing with my thing was finding my own lane, finding my own person. Chriselle, she's with Steve Harvey, that's who manages me. And she was like, "Okay, you gonna do this sleeve Harvey stuff, whatever, whatever, whatever, right?" He was cool with it, he brought me on Family Feud, whatever. Y'all brought me on, she was like, "Well, you gotta find your own way." So now I was like, "Okay, I gotta get out of that and find me." And then I just started being myself. And that Baltimore character I would do, that's like, you know, my brother and my sister, they from Baltimore. You know, my sister and my sister from Baltimore. So it's like, I know that person, that uncle at the Little League game. So when I'm, you know, "Gotta do what he gotta do."

• 53:56Speaker 07

  That's what they would do at the games. So I just made that character. And some Baltimore people liked it, some didn't. And it was like, his trainer said, "We gonna do what we gonna do."

• 54:09Speaker 07

  "We came to do what we do, man." "Stop messing with my young'un."

• 54:15Speaker 07

  And I reposted something I did in 2020. And I did a swipe to it, and he commented on it like, "Hey, man, you from the city, boy." So I was like, "Ooh, shit." He might be upset. And I pinned it. And people start coming at him like, I said, damn, I got a little fan base. But you ain't gonna help me in no fight. We got you. But nah, but after then, I was at the fight. And like, you know, I was with a lot of his camp as I'm doing content. And they were showing me, I was like, okay, I think we straight now. You know what I mean? But yeah, that was one I was like, oh no. Walking in, walking in a little slow. He said he five five too, don't matter. He's five five. I don't care what man, how tall is Ryan Garcia? Five nine.

• 55:00Speaker 07

  About five nine. He could be a DB, right? He could be a DB.

• 55:04Fred Taylor?

  Right, right.

• 55:05Speaker 07

  Right? About five, about five, he about five, okay, I give him five six on a good day. He five five, he still coming up underneath you. I ain't got time for that, man.

• 55:17Fred Taylor?

  Lou, you mentioned the Super Bowl, right?

• 55:18Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 55:19Fred Taylor?

  In this space that you're in right now, you know, things can get oversaturated. People come and go. But for you, what do you consider, you know, your Super Bowl moment? Is it a big screen? Is it a, is it a sitcom? Is it touring, stand up? What's that pivot look like?

• 55:35Speaker 07

  I think for me, I don't want to just be like a comedian or stand up comedian. You know what I mean? When people are like, oh, you gonna get on this stage? Okay, cool, but like, you know, I'm, I'm, I want that, I want that motion picture. You know what I mean? I want that, y'all pulling up to the red carpet at my movie premiere. You know what I mean? I want, I want that. I want it all for real. You know what I'm saying? So I ain't just limiting myself on one box. You know what I mean? And I, I pride myself on being versatile. You know, I had a coach who told me the more you can do, the more, the, the, the, then you stay on the team. The more you can do, the, the, the more valuable you are. So if I, and I play DB, I just play DB. I play corner nickel and safety. That's why I was able to swing in there for a couple of five, four, five years.

• 56:20Speaker 07

  You know what I'm saying? Because of the versatility. So with this, it's like, I ain't just gonna play the hood dude on the street. I can play, I can play the dad, I can play the principal, I can play the uncle, the coach, the father, the son, the everybody. You know what I'm saying? Every, any room I can, I can, or any situation I can make happen. So I think for me, it's like, my Super Bowl moment would be. A blockbuster movie, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know disrespect to the stand-up and all that. I ain't just doing this chitlin' circuit, man. I'm trying, I'm trying to eat. I mean, I want to be legendary. I want my daughter to be like, my dad was in that movie. That's my dad right there, straight up.

• 57:01Ryan Clark?

  Fellas, I need y'all help. It's time to make these picks for DraftKings Sportsbook, and y'all boys know a little bit more about making these picks than me.

• 57:09Channing Crowder?

  RC, I'm gonna tell you, don't call me a homer. Ride with Miami, baby. They are healthy now, they doing they thing, playing as a team. I'm telling you, they gonna surprise a lot of people.

• 57:17Fred Taylor?

  And since we in a city of angels, I'm looking for a blessing, baby. I gotta go with LA. Let's go.

• 57:23Ryan Clark?

  I don't know if it's gonna be Miami or if it's gonna be LA, but listen, you make your pick and DraftKings Sportsbook is the place to do it.

• 57:30Speaker 00

  Are your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard, but not the pipeline? That's bullspend, and marketers are calling it out in Dashboard Confessions.

• 58:00Speaker 07

  Like, think about all of the different comedians who do become stars. You know, one of Eddie Murphy's biggest roles is in Dreamgirls, right? Jamie Foxx has been in Ali, he was Ray. And so, we've seen comedians make that, that switch or that change because they're just ultimately talented people, not just necessarily people that make you laugh.

• 58:21Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, I was gonna ask, what's the difference? Because we talked about, you know, Harlem Nights, one of my favorite movies of all time. You know, like that, where you're making movies. That what you talking about? Not a little knockoff here. The weed, the weed is missing, one of them shows.

• 58:33Speaker 07

  I ain't talking about no, no disrespect. I ain't talking about no Tubi. You know what I mean?

• 58:39Ryan Clark?

  Every time you say no disrespect, we all know disrespect is coming.

• 58:45Speaker 07

  And, and the thing about me is, I'm behind the scenes as well. You know what I mean? I'm coming out with the content. I can come from behind the scenes. I want to be directing on the screen, behind the screen. I want to put- People along at the same time.

• 58:57Ryan Clark?

  In any discussion or argument I have, like, once it starts to get heated, I immediately start talking like I'm on TV. Because I'm trying to work on myself and not, like, get hot or scream. And so I'm like, no, I start talking like I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers. Well, if you look at it now, the trade says, you know, and people are like, hold on, man, don't talk to me like your TV voice.

• 59:16Speaker 07

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 59:17Ryan Clark?

  When you get in a relationship, do you ever accidentally fall into a character?

• 59:21Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah, yeah, I piss women off. No, 100%. I know, I piss my daughter's mother off a lot, you know what I mean? Just, and we have a good cordial relationship. We co-parent very well. You know, I've done a lot of dumb things, but we're on the other side of it now. But at the same time, it's like, even my daughter, she thinks she's a little comedian. You know what I mean? And hey, she got it honest. What you gonna do? Deal with it. You know what I mean? But, uh, yeah, I definitely can get in character sometimes. Or a girl arguing with me, and she's like, look here, okay? This is not one of your little videos. All right? We not doing that today.

• 59:59Ryan Clark?

  Right.

• 59:59Speaker 07

  This ain't no TikTok reel, boy. You know what I'm saying? It's like, baby, it's TikTok, and then it's IG reels.

• 1:00:06Ryan Clark?

  Right, exactly. Now she more pissed off. Now she even matter. You don't ever get to, whoa, TikTok paid for this meal.

• 1:00:12Speaker 07

  Hey, girl trying to get all disrespectful. But, you know, I ain't say this, but she like, so I see you doing your little video. Lil? Huh? Lil what? This little video got this Uber Black.

• 1:00:28Speaker 07

  Uber Black. This little video got that lobster tail. What you want to do?

• 1:00:32Channing Crowder?

  You talk about the women, man. Like, you get sensual and romantic, or you just be silly all the time? Because I be, I, I can't do the sensual stuff. It's not in my nature.

• 1:00:42Ryan Clark?

  I'm not like the rom-com. I ain't doing, but I'm, at the same time, I know how to laugh my way in.

• 1:00:51Speaker 07

  You know, and I'm, I do, I'm a ladies man. You know what I mean? But it's like, you know, but that's always been me though. Even in, you know, grade school to now, never had a problem with women. Like the, like other comedians doing what they, they like, man, I know them girls. I like, I had that Super Bowl. You ain't had that Super Bowl type of vibe, baby. You don't know about this. I know how to handle all this. IG stuff, I do, I do that. It's easy.

• 1:01:19Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, yeah. So you mean, so you, when you go in, you tell her, you know, I'ma set the plate and get the eight. Or whatever the hell you were saying with Gillie. So you do all that stuff that you were talking about?

• 1:01:30Speaker 07

  Oh, that's a good one.

• 1:01:32Channing Crowder?

  Has any woman ever requested a character? They don't want to mess with Lou. They want to mess with Coach Lou.

• 1:01:37Speaker 07

  I definitely have seen something. I'm like, and she kind of like, she like, what's that video? I said, oh, you like, okay. And I give her that, you know, she wanted that, she wanted that Gillie. I'm like, look here, you know what I mean? Either we gonna get a shot or two.

• 1:01:55Speaker 07

  You know what I mean? So, yeah, I don't mind putting a performance on for that.

• 1:02:00Channing Crowder?

  The ultimate goal.

• 1:02:03Ryan Clark?

  You know, when you think of where you are now though, and I was cut. You know, after my second year, I was cut by the Giants. Tom Coughlin told me, I don't think you can play in this league. I don't think you can hold up 16 games. And I kind of just internalized it, understood what he was saying, tried to move on and be better. But, you know, my career could have ended, ended then. I started working at LSU. You know, obviously 11 years later, I was blessed to continue playing. Then I retired, but it's about starting that second career. For you, did you, were you able to adjust right away and move into saying, okay, now it's time to make that second play, the second act of my life? Or was there some difficulty in getting into it?

• 1:02:44Speaker 07

  2019, I was rehabbing in Arizona. It was with the Cardinals and then went into the. AAF, right? And my agent's like, he say, Lou, man, you do this. Get you some, show them that you, you know, you back healthy, whatever, whatever. Then we, then training camp come around, we do that. So at that same time, while I was rehabbing, I was a little down. I just was like, man, I called my boys. I was like, bro, I think I might start doing these videos, man. I'm just start, you know, because my, my agent's son, Tony Jr., he, he was like, Lou, man, Lou should do, he should really do it. And at that time, I probably had like 10,000 followers, strictly off football.

• 1:03:26Speaker 07

  And I was doing that, went to the AAF, that league ended like that. But at that same time, like after every meeting, after every day, I was making videos. You know what I'm saying? So when that day ended, that last day, I'm looking around the locker room, everybody's kind of, it felt like that Boobie Miles Friday Night Lights, when he had the trash bag.

• 1:03:48Channing Crowder?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:49Speaker 07

  And, you know, he get in the car with his uncle. He's like, I can't do that, I play football.

• 1:03:59Speaker 07

  We go, I'll take on to them, bro.

• 1:04:03Speaker 07

  I can't give you the big house. And I was doing that, and everybody's like, man, Lou, stop, man, shit. I said, hey, look, man, I see y'all on the side, man. I'm, I'm gonna get this, this comedy check, bro. And I ain't looked back since. So I just went straight into it.

• 1:04:17Channing Crowder?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:17Speaker 07

  I went straight into it from that day. I ain't looked back.

• 1:04:21Channing Crowder?

  What happened with the AAF? Cause you was a part, I never heard the real story, cause it had like three games, two games.

• 1:04:27Speaker 07

  Hey, come on, Chan, it was, it was like seven games. Come on, man, you're always disrespectful and shit.

• 1:04:32Channing Crowder?

  The whole league together.

• 1:04:33Speaker 07

  No, it was seven total games. I had seven checks. I'm still O three.

• 1:04:39Channing Crowder?

  But when, when you, when the season ends halfway through, what happened?

• 1:04:43Speaker 07

  We was game planning for a game, and, and I remember the kickers were on their phones. It was a walkthrough, and they just was like, everybody started looking at it, and there was like a, you know, do, do, do, and everybody looked, and then come in the locker room, they're like, hey, guys, don't panic, we're gonna have a meeting tomorrow, boom, don't worry about it, it's gonna be situated. That next day, get to clean your locker out, that was it.

• 1:05:05Channing Crowder?

  Came in, they said, clean your locker out, football over.

• 1:05:08Speaker 07

  Went bankrupt. They MC hammered us.

• 1:05:13Ryan Clark?

  Hey, you know what Jay said, man? I like Hammer. Thirty mil won't hurt me. You know, and this is the last question, man. I want to know, for you, like, we all have that moment. You know, like, I remember being in the playoffs, divisional round against Baltimore, playing a game, and I was like, man, like, I finally feel like this is it. You know what I mean? Like, everybody knows what I've always thought or known about myself. In this second act for you, what was that moment where you said, nah, this is it? Like, I'm in a place to where now I know I'm making an impact on people in this second act of mine?

• 1:05:50Speaker 07

  Well, Steve Harvey reached out to me, and his sons reached out to me, and they brought me out there to Family Feud, and made me just go, like, I got there, I'm thinking I'm just doing some content, behind the scenes, playing, joking around, and they was like, now you going on stage? And it's a Family Feud audience before he comes out there. And they said, go ahead, bro. And I went out there, and it was like, I think for me, playing, like I say, with the football and sports, when them lights come on, I'm straight. That's like a easy meal to me. And then I walked out there, I saw like three little aunties in the front row, three of them, and I just honed in on them, and had the whole crowd do it, and after I come off the stage, and he's like, hey, I'd sign him.

• 1:06:36Speaker 07

  But I was, after that, I was like, oh, this is a rap. If a king in comedy say, we about to sign him, he cleared the whole green room out, just want to talk to me and him.

• 1:06:47Ryan Clark?

  Wow.

• 1:06:47Speaker 07

  He told me, he was like, bro, he said, you, he said, you don't even realize, he said, you could do jokes without even saying a word. And that's just what he saw from me while looking. I didn't know he was watching, but he was watching the whole time I was on the stage. And after that, I said, oh, yeah, we up now.

• 1:07:04Ryan Clark?

  Man, you know, I think there's been so many times that we get, I get messages, "I want you to do an athlete who didn't get to fulfill his dream, or who didn't get everything that he wants." And they're always, they're always looking for us to do an athlete that's like now working at McDonald's, you know, or an athlete that's now fell off. When they don't realize that it's somebody like a Lou Young, who they never really associate with ball anymore, who decided that I can have another passion and I can excel at it. But also that background helps. And I know Fred always wants to know this, and you kind of have hit on it a lot. But I guess just to end, when you are doing comedy, you're uplifting people.

• 1:07:47Ryan Clark?

  Like you say, when they see you, they want you to do those certain things. What is the ultimate impact you want to have? Because making people laugh is a source of therapy.

• 1:07:56Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:07:57Ryan Clark?

  Right, for so many. But you also said, outside of that, I just don't want to make people laugh and just do comedy. I want to move into this. What's Lou Young's impact as a man?

• 1:08:05Speaker 07

  I think it's inspiring, you know, young kids from, I'm from DC, all over, really. To not just limit yourself, don't just be one dimensional. You know what I mean? You can have multiple talents. You don't have to just, okay, it's all or nothing. One thing, like, and it's not, it's not, you don't have to think of it as like a Plan A or Plan B. It can all be part of the Plan A. They get drafted tomorrow, they're not going to play 30 years in the NFL.

• 1:08:34Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:34Speaker 07

  It's all a part of the plan. It is about treating people right. I think just that character is going to carry a long way. So I think for me, my impact is just my character. And it's like, I'm personable with people. I make people feel a part of my journey. These wins are not just on me, it's the support I get. I'm not able to go to red carpet fights or get all access at the draft now, after being retired, you know what I'm saying? Without the support of my fanbase.

• 1:09:07Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:07Speaker 07

  So, yeah, I'm going to document it all and make y'all feel a part of it. I ain't going to be stingy with it. I'm going to show, I'm going to show everything. And the comments is so... Rewarding cuz it's like, dang, I feel like I'm a part of it. Cuz you are, y'all are a part of it. You know what I'm saying? I'm not here without y'all, God and my family. But I'm gon', I'm gon' give y'all flowers the same way y'all give me flowers.

• 1:09:30Ryan Clark?

  So I just wanna say thank you cuz, you know, there are days, man, that I'm just sitting at the crib and ain't nothing going on, and I just go down a rabbit hole. And you, you enjoy them and you watch them all and you realize that there's so much talent, so much thought, so much work that goes into everything. And in the end, I always come back, I was like, oh yeah, that's just Lu. You know, and I think what you've been able to do is give the world your talent, but still be just Lu. So man, keep doing the same thing, bro. Keep inspiring, we gon' keep watching, keep rooting you on.

• 1:09:59Speaker 07

  Appreciate it.

• 1:10:00Ryan Clark?

  My dog, appreciate you fam.

• 1:10:02Fred Taylor?

  Nice shirt right there, R.C. Just Lu.

• 1:10:05Speaker 07

  Oh, little baby.

• 1:10:06Ryan Clark?

  You said just Lu.

• 1:10:06Fred Taylor?

  Just Lu it, just Lu it.

• 1:10:08Ryan Clark?

  Give it to him.

• 1:10:09Speaker 07

  Hey, we gotta put it out first.

• 1:10:13Ryan Clark?

  We gotta put it out first and make a sign on it.

• 1:10:16Speaker 07

  Just Lu it.
