Deebo & Joe - Part 1: Waddle TRADED to Broncos + should Steelers bet on Will Howard? + Shedeur Year 2 Plans

23:52Where is that? Where he at? Where he at? San Francisco. Williams. What's his name? Yeah, they say he out there. They say he out there. But that money going to be, ooh, he going to want a bang bang. Yeah, he is.

24:08James Harrison:And that man came in. We came in the same year, 2010. He's still out there hooping. He going to want a bang. Mm-hmm. Silver back. Wow. Go ahead and talk to him, see what he talking about. Ask him if he want to come on out here. Get away from all them EMF signals. Come on out to Pittsburgh. That might not be him. Ain't good for you out there, man. You're getting over it. He is. Ain't good for y 'all. Can't be having your body. Trent's free for real? He a free agent? I believe so, brother. I believe so. Unless I'm misspoken. Chad, is he free free? Let me know. Because that man, he's nice. Real nice.

24:53James Harrison:Hall of Fame. First ballot. No question. No question, brother. all the way. Hall of Fame. First battle. Now, let's go on over here to Cincinnati. Now, Jonathan Allen, he said this, bro. He said, this is one of the few places I can compete for a Super Bowl and have a chance to showcase my talent. When you see what they have on the offensive side of the ball, that's a dream for a defensive lineman. I think people would be lining up to play with a guy like Joe Burrow and the offense they have. Then the young guys you have on the defense and the pieces you're adding, I think, I really think this team is going somewhere.

25:42Yes. Ben said he think this team is going somewhere, Joe. So you signed him, Jonathan Allen. It was Boy Muffy. I don't know how you say that name. The D.M. And then it was the safety. Brian Cook. Brian Cook. Yes. Right? Okay. That is not making you a Super Bowl championship. Sorry. Love the confidence, but that ain't happening. This is the same team that defense was ranked 31st. 31st. They was giving up 380. Only people that was giving up more than them was Washington, and they was giving up 384. So you might as well say it was two last-place defenses last year, okay? Giving up 147 in the run game, that was dead last.

26:35You was 28th against the pass, 233 a game. Along with that, you was only 28th on third down conversion. Y 'all couldn't even get off the field, okay? Giving up almost 29 points a game, sorry, but you aren't making up for all of that.

26:51James Harrison:Debo, if I'm Jonathan Allen, I'm probably going to say the same thing. When I was with the, when you, if you're looking, outside looking in, you're a great player. You play defense. Your job is to stop them from scoring. When you're looking at your offensive side of the ball, you see Joe Burrow. You see Jamar Chase. You see Tee Higgins. You see that you're going to be able to score points. The reason why you're losing games isn't because of the offensive side of the ball. It's because of the defensive side of the ball. It's because of the side of the ball that you play. So you can speak as highly possible on them, like, offense is going to do great.

27:30James Harrison:We're going to score points playing with Joe Burrow, playing with Jamar Chase, because they do put up numbers. But on the defensive side, he like, we got to come there. And like, him coming there, he's feeling like, now I'm going to make the change to make our defense not as trash. And that's why he's saying it. When I left Cleveland, when I got released and I signed with Pittsburgh, it was because they had Big Ben. They had Le 'Veon Bell. They had Antonio Brown. They had Martavius Bryant. I was like, if I come there, I'm on the defensive side of the ball. My job is to help the defense stop. So if I'm Don Fallon, I'm saying the same thing because he's looking at the offense like, man, they're going to be fired.

28:13James Harrison:He's saying, all right, well, look, if I'm a player, that's what I'm going to say. What do you want him to say? What do you want him to say? No, are we going to be trash? No. Your offense is fire. You got to do what you got to do on the defensive side, making sure they bring the right pieces. I know they might not have it all right now, but if I'm him, that's what I'm saying too. Okay, so who do you see winning the Super Bowl in the AFC North? Which team do you see winning the Super Bowl first in the AFC North? Like who? this team, this team, this team, this team. Number one, two, three, and four.

28:50Who is that, y 'all? Give me your one. You say anything other than what I do. It's going to be a problem. The first team that's going to win the Super Bowl

29:00James Harrison:and the division. It's going to be... Don't say nothing stupid. Don't say nothing stupid. I feel like you're about to say something stupid. Who's going to say something stupid? Go ahead. And you know who it's going to be. Who? The Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns ain't never won a Super Bowl. They ain't even predicted to win a Super Bowl in the next 40 years. I don't care who predicted anything. I don't care. I don't care what they predict. Okay? I really don't. All right? All right, so who's second? The Steelers. The Steelers. Who third? The Ravens. Exactly. And who did last? Bangles. Listen.

29:55James Harrison:All right, all right. Let me take my other hat off then. All right, honestly. Let me take my other hat off then. For real, for real. It is the Steelers, then the Ravens, then the Bangles, then the Browns. because when I really... The only reason why... Hey, y 'all hear that Browns fans out there, man? Listen to Joe, man. Listen to Joe, man. He said, I can't lie on myself, man. Listen, my heart over here in Cleveland, but if I tell him it's lying and I stick on it, they're going to say Joe ain't... You got it. Joe, listen, man. Joe, I want to stop you right now. You still had Cleveland dead last.

30:38Now, I don't know. I don't know. But you had Cincinnati third. This right here is from my guy, Joe Burrow. Brother, it's not too late. It's never too late. He's still trying to think about this. Listen, I want you to think about this. Joe, Joe, if they really loved you, Max Crosby is still out there. Hey, he's still out there. and it ain't going to cost you as much as you think it is no more because he's still out there. Joe, if they really loved you, they'd show you. Uh-oh. And the fact that they haven't showed you, Joe, means we got the love sitting over here already, Joe. It's never too late.

31:28James Harrison:Never too late. You still recruiting? Look, yes, please. We get Joe Burrow, then it's putting the Steelers right to the ship. All I need is missing the quarterback. I mean, that's going to guarantee you. I'm not talking about Will Howard no more. We get Joe Burrow. I mean, nothing to talk about. Damn. That's crazy. Steebo, what you want me to say? If you get Joe Burrow, what you going to do? Be like, no, we got a quarterback competition. Hey, man, listen, man. Go ahead and learn another joke. That's what you're saying. Come on, man. Thank you. I mean, you like this, oh, whoa, whoa, you just going to throw one out?

32:09James Harrison:I'm like, Debo, come on. What you going to do? Hey, man. Listen, man. Hey, listen, brother, brother. I'm telling you, you got just a little bit. I ain't saying you got to go nowhere, but you got to sit back and we got to do a couple more years sitting there and learning the tools. Looking like we got some little news though, Debo. We got some news. We got Jalen Waddle got traded to the Broncos. He got traded to the Broncos. That would have looked like. From Miami to the Broncos. Mm-mm-mm. That's a good move. That's a great move for the Broncos. Listen, man. The altitude over there is something real.

32:57James Harrison:Yes, I hear you. My man, J.W., he's going to be, Waddle is going to be floating out there. bruh i can't i don't know man the way that thing the way that stuff do me that do me bad out there and that's crazy it ain't even i don't know i must it didn't affect me like that phew brother blockbuster trade good lord according to adam sheffner the denver receives Waddle and Dolphins fourth round pick, 11th in the round in this year's draft. So Miami receives Broncos first. They got a first round pick for him, dude, along with their late third and fourth picks in this year's draft. Bleacher report called obtaining Waddle.

33:54The dream trade scenario for Denver. Broncos this offseason. Brother. That much? That much? Wow. Would you have gave up that much?

34:07James Harrison:I mean, they gave up. It was the first round pick and what? It was the first. They gave up the first, the third, and the fourth. First, third, fourth. And they gave up. They got Waddle in the fourth. No, they were, yeah. Denver gave up a first, a third, and a fourth, and they got Waddle in the fourth. So they basically gave up a first and a third.

34:31James Harrison:I'm more of the mindset of I can see when you're a team that, you know, I need a receiver, somebody that's nice. I don't want to go draft someone in the first round. Those first round picks, I mean, they're good. But I'm like, if you're really trying to get an established player that you already know is nice and it's a need for your team, I like when teams sometimes go get it. So if you think there's going to be a first and a third, you don't think one of these young dudes are going to come in and be like a waddle. He's going to be playing right now. Do it. So I'm not mad at Denver for making those games.

35:07James Harrison:Yeah, I mean, there was one step away from fighting for the Lombardi. When you were in those spots. Other teams, if you're like, you know, you got so much to lose. You need those picks that you can build, taking time. We're more than one step away. With the Broncos, them dudes are nice. The defense was amazing. Just looking at giving Bo Nix, if they like him, they just trying to help him out. All right, now we give you Waddle. You guys, you have Courtland Sutton. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're just trying to give you the weapons needed to see if you're the quarterback that we need. You know what I'm saying?

35:38James Harrison:Like, we're going to give you the guys around you. Now we know if you're going to get the bag or not. Like, it's coming to that time. Bo, are you going to be$60 million a year? Like, are you the franchise quarterback for us? We're going to give you all the attributes around to see what it looked like. You know what I'm saying? And so I like when Denver does things like this or good teams make picks. I mean, don't use those draft picks and just go get somebody that they know that's going to be an instant plug and play. It's like, oh, no, we could draft this dude here. You know what I'm saying? And next thing you know, he's not good.

36:09James Harrison:He's fast, but he just doesn't adapt to the NFL game. He just can't get open. And we're like, oh, man, he looked good. But, you know, Waddle, he's going to get open. He's going to catch the ball. He's done it. You know what I'm saying? He had a thousand yards, back-to-back seasons. So it's like, I like when teams know what they want, they go get it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, sitting back thinking about it now, like, y 'all was one step away. Adnis could get you further. But they had the backup quarterback, too. Y 'all was one step away with the backup. Yeah, I was about to say, they had the backup, too.

36:40James Harrison:Your man broke his ankle guy right last play of the game. So, like, they're like, man, listen, okay, we're going to go above. We're going to give you whatever you need and more. I like that. Smart moves. I guess, all right. No, looking back at it, you ain't give up too much. What's the contract, though? He's still under contract? How many years you got left? Or do they got to redo that? I see. Did they trade and get him all ready without redoing it? Now you got to, hey, listen, you gave him a little bit more power. We got to look at that. We got to look at the numbers. Hey, but look, where do you rank the teams, Debo?

37:19James Harrison:So, who's going to get the Super Bowl first? Okay. Steelers? Of course. We just going to say that. That's a no-brainer. After that, it's a flip between Cincinnati and Baltimore. Hold on. It could go two or three. It don't matter. And then Brown. I lie. No, you know what? Honestly, though, it's going to be my honest, honest. Honest, honest. depending on what happens it could be because it's the quarterback like I said if Deshaun is our guy Deshaun might not be the guy if Shadour is our guy if Shadour is our guy if Shadour is our guy it could be it could be the next you know 10 for Shell The new stadium?

38:22James Harrison:Oh, my goodness. That's what's happening. We're getting a new stadium? The stadium got to do with anything. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. That's going to make them better. Just, I don't know. It's just something, something's telling me. Because you can host a Super Bowl if you have a dome. So we might mess around and get the Super Bowl with the dome. Yep. I understand it now. What about Detroit? They got a new dorm and all that. They still ain't been. I don't care what they did. I'm talking about. That was 20 years ago. I don't care. The Rams did it, and it came right to their crib. So I'm just talking about, I've seen it lately.

39:03James Harrison:What God has done for somebody else, I've seen it do it for them. What you've done for others, he could do it for me. He could do it for me. So this is what you're saying. Is Cleveland going to host the Super Bowl? Y 'all go play in it. Yes. that's see you talking crazy but I don't know yet I'm talking crazy you're talking about Cleveland winning the Super Bowl I just gotta figure out how long ahead of time the Super Bowl game is scheduled that's what I gotta figure out this episode is brought to you by Spreaker the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain symptoms include buying microphones you don't need explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives, and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.

40:29This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years.

40:53James Harrison:I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

41:24Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the underexplored pockets of the sport.

42:04In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

42:24James Harrison:Good people, what's up, what's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer Jamie Lee Curtis ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta. I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before. You know, at one point I shut my laptop down and we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way. And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what? And you said, dust off your mantle.

43:05And then I left and that was it. And then when all of that happened, I remember the next morning, I think I wanted to, like, write you and go, how did you know?

43:16James Harrison:Listen to The Questlove Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral.

43:56The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search for it.

44:02James Harrison:This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said, she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I have done nothing except get pregnant by the f***ing bachelor! Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

44:30James Harrison:Because the stadium's going to be breaking ground. I got the email for the break ground of the new stadium, so I got to pull up. Because now I got to see where the confetti's going to be falling from, where I'm going to be at. I'm going to be on the sideline. That's where I'm going to be. So what year is the stadium supposed to be done? Ah, probably not too long. Not too long. Not too long. Was it 28, 29? 29. I'm going to get back to you with the specifics. I mean, is Miles still playing then? Miles? Oh, here you go. Here you go. Here's your Super Bowl. Miles is for sure playing. By the time you get to Cleveland, here's your Super Bowl.

45:09Miles is for sure playing. That might be 10 years from now.

45:14James Harrison:No, you know what? Why am I being? Because now I'm scarred because you keep talking to me crazy. You got me feeling like what I think is about to happen isn't really about to happen. So, listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen to me now. Listen to me now. You are a real life Browns fan now. You have hope and belief and every year they're going to tear it out from your chest and smash it. Because it just was the right time when the Browns was doing good and we could have just kept good old Baker. When we had finally a little quarterback that was chilling, we could have gave him$25 million a year and would have just steadied the ship and just been good to go.

46:03James Harrison:But we didn't do that. Then Deshaun came and got hurt. Not his fault. And that plan didn't work out. Now we've drafted Shador, somehow snuck down to the fifth round. Now, Andrew Barry's bringing around way more talent. The same when we started bringing around Odell and Jarvis Landry. It started getting nice. Get players around us. Get your quarterback that can actually hit people around. We got 44. How did that work out, Joe? Listen, I'm telling you, that's why we didn't resign Baker. But we're going to resign Shador once things start getting looking good. We're going to see, oh, yeah, okay, we got it here.

46:42James Harrison:Okay, now we're going to keep the quarterback. Now we just need, you know what I'm saying, the other pieces, the receiver. We're going to get it right now. So, yeah, I'm actually excited about it because I think Shador is going to be the quarterback for us. And now we know we just need to build around other positions. We could do that. Cleveland has always had great defense. We got to score some points.

47:09Oh, and on to other news. So D-Hop said he felt kind of, you know, underutilized. Okay. So I guess first a Ravens fan had tweeted. Yeah. He said, if the Ravens are in the market for a veteran wide receiver, which I suspect they are, they should do. What they should do is bring back D-Hopkins back to Baltimore. And it's like, what a catch. I guess it's the thing right here. But in response, Hopkins said, how many times after this, do you think I was using the red zone? When targeted, I'm still one of the most productive, but never complain with my snaps and never will. Facts. So, well, that's kind of complaining right there.

47:53But anyway, Joe, what do you think of this? Because he's saying he got the thing right there. He got a little catch right there. He was targeted. He's feeling misused. He's feeling like they didn't do what they should have did. They didn't go how they were supposed to go. Obviously, I guess he took it down. He took the messes down. He later took it down. So, with that being said, whose fault is that, Joe? Is it more of the OC with the game planning of it? Or is it maybe Lamar not getting him the ball, Joe? What do you think, Joe?

48:28James Harrison:I think it's a little bit of both, you know. I think getting older in the league and your role kind of starts diminishing a little bit. and you feel like kind of you're the same player, I think D-Hop is still an amazing player. Can still catch the ball in the radius, but you lose a step. Still not the same speed, the explosiveness. You know what I'm saying? So I think for him, the usage, and you can feel like you need to be getting used more. You know what I'm saying? But the team may not. You know what I'm saying? So I think it goes a little bit of both being able to be like, just understanding roles, the way that the league goes, and, you know, I don't think that, yeah, father time, it is what it is.

49:13James Harrison:You know what I'm saying? Like, he's still a good player. He's still a wide receiver in the league, but he's not the receiver one that he was back in the day. Yeah, I'll agree with you on that. What do you think? I'm kind of in the same boat, but, again, I feel like they could have used him a little more. I feel like he still had enough to get more than what they were using for, but I'm happy that they didn't use him as much as they did because it wouldn't have benefited us if they did. But I don't think it would have really mattered because we got nephew over there. You know what I'm saying? We're going to wash that up out.

49:54I ain't even tripping, tripping, but it's the Ravens. It's almost right now I ain't going to say like the Browns, but, you know, it is what it is. And when it comes down to it, that's what it is. But we're going to jump on over here to this Max Crosby situation, though. So, Albert Breer, is that what the name is? He had this. Breer? Breer? Breer? Albert Breer. Breer. Breer. Breer. Okay, so he reported, he said, some of the fractured trust between Crosby and the Raiders was rebuilt organically last week when the team showed the five-time pro bowler that it had his back and reaching out and offering any help needed after the Ravens backed out.

50:45He said it won't hurt Clint Kubiak's effort to build a culture to have someone like Crosby. If Crosby buys in and there's no reason to think he won't, he has the potential to be what he's always wanted to be for the Raiders, a flag bearer and an agent of change. Joe. Yep. You think he go buy in? You think everything good? You think they just done went on here and said, hey, we good? You think he go do it? I mean.

51:21James Harrison:I think Max Crosby going to do it. he's a professional. Professionalism, I think that if he gets back on the team and he stays on the team and he doesn't get traded, I think his professionalism won't let him. He knows he got a job to do. It's a business. No matter what. Like, you get traded, people don't get traded. If you're back on the team and they're accepting you with open arms, you're not just going to be in there trying to, I don't think Max Cross would be in there getting his bread, getting paid still, like, trying to mess things up. That's just not the type of player that I think he is.

51:53James Harrison:I think he's going to come back in there. You're going to feel some type of way, you know what I'm saying, as a human being. But I don't think he would just carry that in the locker room trying to sabotage something because his main goal in the day is to try to win games. I don't think he wants to lose games. Winning over everything. Maybe after the season, he doesn't want to. You know, people work places where they don't like their boss, but you still going to go there and you still going to get the job done. I think for me, I think he's going to do it. I think he's going to go there, be able to be a professional, be able to get the job done.

52:26James Harrison:But all that extra rah-rah, like friends, homie stuff with the coaches or with the general manager. But people don't even really kick it with the general managers like that. It's not your coach's fault. Well, they got two new ones, though. Well, actually, he likes, I think it was said that he likes the new head coach, Clint. And even, yes. So even if it's like, if it's not your coach's fault, like, then your position coaches. These dudes, a lot of dudes in the building, they don't have no control over. It's a couple people that was able to make the decision to get him up out of there and to trade him.

52:59James Harrison:But now since he's back, you're back. They're saying they're welcoming you. And I just think the professionalism part and you're here to do a job. And I don't think he would not do it. Like, that's just, I don't think that that would happen. Yeah. I'm looking at it and like you said he likes the new head coach Clint Mubiak he also good with the GM John Spice whatever that name is along with his old position coach is now the actual D coordinator so he's the DC and then when you look at it he been doing this with phew bruh he done had six different head coaches in seven years bruh that's that that's that's what I'm saying because I have a little just being familiar it doesn't really matter you have a job to do you know I'm saying you are a defensive end in the National Football League I don't care what team you play for who's the coach when you get on the when you get on the game the eye in the sky don't lie that's your tape that's why you're getting paid the top DN money because you are professional DN you're you're you're hired you're a hired gun You know what I'm saying?

54:15James Harrison:Like, they put you somewhere. You're going to go wherever you're at on whatever team and ball out because that's what you do. You know what I'm saying? So you wouldn't mix that up because end of the day, if you're going to go mess that up, then they could start. No, he was just acting all crazy. Wasn't coming to meetings. Wasn't showing up. Was being very unprofessional. No, Max. You have a name to uphold. You have a legacy to uphold. You're a dog. Don't let these people start messing it up and trying to throw dirt on your name. Continue to just try to play to win. Play your hardest. Do exactly what you've been doing your whole career that's got you here.

54:50James Harrison:You know what I'm saying? So that's why I would look at him like, if I could give him any advice, just please do that. Because you already played for a bunch of coaches. You know what that turnover looks like. You know it's the NFL. People are getting cut. People are getting chopped. People are not getting paid. They're trying to find reasons not to pay you. So don't give them one. You know what I'm saying? That's all I'm trying to tell. Hey, reasons not to pay you. Crosby has said on this podcast that if he acted the way he was, if he acted off the field the way he does on the field, he said he would be in prison.

55:25He said, the second I put on my cleats, I cross, the second I put on my cleats and I'm across the line, I'm in a different environment. I'm thinking, I'm thinking about murder. I'm thinking about murder. You know what he means. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the second I'm off, I can turn it off just like that because you have to. I can't be like how I am on the field all the time or I'd be in prison. Yes. Yo, do you feel that way? Do you got a persona that's on the field? Do you change? You know what I'm saying? Do you have a different – I know I do.

56:02James Harrison:Yes. My persona kind of changed. And I think when I first got into the league, basically, like, it was no name, no face. You're really out there trying to run through somebody. You're really trying to, like, the beginning when I was, we were trying to put people to sleep. Like, you were trying to, like, jump into them, yugger them, so they would go, like, night, night. Like, it was called Night Quill. So it sounds crazy saying it out loud, but that's the era that we grew up in. That's just the way that we played football. So it wasn't like you was trying to really, like, murder somebody, but you, like, sleep.

56:34James Harrison:like dude saying that that just was the way it was and i'm like oh my goodness that's really crazy but that's the way that we played the game back in the day so like okay that that's crazy but when i started getting older and like i would say after like year nine nine in the league once you start being a vet things move a little slower you can see what's going on like you can actively know when you're trying to missile into somebody you can really tell what type of tackle you're going But back in the day, I didn't care. You would still see somebody. You would see him drop the ball a little bit, and you would still come, boom, and you could still hit him.

57:10James Harrison:And then the coach would – I know I get two steps back then. He gets two steps. So now when you see people hit him within the two steps, I'm like, he saw that, and he's still hitting him. No, I'm like, you saw that. You know the two steps. You know that you can't avoid. But we're taught. And that's why I'm getting so mad. Like, dude, he's right there. That's a bang, bang play. Why are y 'all throwing the flag? That is not – he's not trying to – he's there. It's nothing he can do. Like, he's there, you know? Like, my persona, like, on the field, I think that's why everybody thought I was crazy.

57:40So, I mean, I don't, it's not fake. I know that's why everybody thought I was crazy.

57:44James Harrison:It's a whole, it's you. Because of how my on-field persona was, they thought that was the same dude. Literally. Because especially for you, it's, you guys are up there, and that's, like, I wasn't as, I could see what's up. I'm smaller. Y 'all are big, big dudes that are going against other grown men every single time. trying to impose your will on another man. You're trying to lift him, get him out your way. This is my space. He's trying to take your space. So you getting like, you feel like you're in a fight. You know what I'm saying? Every snap. We ain't in a fight, bro. You in a ruled out fight.

58:17James Harrison:You in a ruled out fight. Where you can't do certain things. Between the snaps, you're going hard. So that's how like, when you got to kind of like, dudes on the end of the day that look a little crazy, you got to be a little crazy. Because you're running, smacking to another man full speed. And when we were thinking about, You got Debo thinking the same thing I'm saying. Sleep trying to put you to bed. Yeah. Like I said, the persona is a good thing, it's a bad thing. And especially now, it was a good thing, it's a bad thing. Because now, us being on this podcast, I'm getting way more people approaching it now.

58:52You know what I'm saying? Like my normal resting, like kill a nigga face, it don't work no more. You know what I'm saying? Like, I used to be able to walk through the airport and just had a face on with nobody. No, for sure.

59:05James Harrison:Like, he looks like he doesn't want to be bothered right now. Nah, man. Nah, like, I see you laughing, smiling. Yeah, even back then when, like, they didn't know, they would send the kid. So, they send the kid up there to get the conversation started, you know, to test the waters. I see, you know, like, hey, if he dog my kid out, I know I ain't got a shot. So, I'm going to back up. You know what I'm saying? But now, dude, I just get anybody coming up to me. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, damn, that look I had ain't scary. No, bro. That ain't stop you from approaching me. They see you laughing now, D-Bo.

59:38James Harrison:They see. They like, oh, this man. I got a softer side. Bro, I might have to stop the podcast, man. I don't know, bro. Somebody had to give, bro. I'm going to have to come up on here crazy and just tear something up. I don't know. You already exposed now. Hey, bro, like put him to sleep. Joe, I ain't gonna lie to you, man. Forgive me for this, though. Forgive me, man. I ain't gonna lie. If I knew back then, like I said, I wouldn't have saved me. That they was gonna find me like that. You said you would have gave him 100 %? Bro, I'd have tried to take him up out of here. I already know. Bro, I'd have tried to take him up out of here.

1:00:14James Harrison:I already know you would have. That like, ooh, we ought to try to take him up out of here, man. Because I was trying. Peace to the planet. Charlamagne Tha God here. And listen.
