00:00You are doing so many things.
00:03Yeah.
00:04Okay, congrats on Hollywood Square.
00:05Thank you, brother.
00:06I appreciate that.
00:08Hollywood Square.
00:09Yeah, yeah.
00:10The revival.
00:11You know what I'm saying?
00:12Yeah, yeah.
00:13The revival, yeah.
00:14I gotta ask, man.
00:15Is there somebody that's a current player right now who you're like, yo, this dude could
00:16do what I'm doing.
00:17He could do this.
00:18He could hit this.
00:19He could hit that.
00:20See, this is why I'm with you.
00:21You ask the really good questions.
00:22That's fire.
00:23Think about this.
00:24Think about this.
00:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26I think Jordan for the Saints is a tremendous talent.
00:29You know, a couple of young guys that got the pizzazz, I don't know if they have the
00:33desire to do it, but Justin Jefferson, like J. Jettis, he just got it.
00:40He got the juice.
00:41You know what I mean?
00:42He's smooth.
00:43He got the look.
00:44Every time he pulls up, everybody shows him love, so I think he's a guy.
00:48And then a quarterback that I really rock with, man, it's gonna throw people off, but
00:55I think Joe Burrow, like, if he gets a microphone in front of him, he can control the room.
01:01Because think about it.
01:02Joe Burrow's really chill, low-key, but when he talks, everybody's like, shh.
01:05So the key to being good on TV is like, commanding and demanding the attention when you open
01:11your mouth, so I'll say Joe Burrow.
01:13Have you taken anyone under your wing, bro, and been like, yo?
01:16Every young player.
01:17Like, literally.
01:18They all come to you?
01:19100%.
01:20When they holla at me like, yo, Nate, I love what you do, I'll say, give me your number.
01:21Oh, man, you know, I want to do what you're doing.
01:22I'm like, oh, you're a rookie?
01:23Holla at me in 10 years.
01:24Because one, I want them to get as much money as they can.
01:25Like, I want them to exhaust as much of their athletic ability and make as much cash as
01:26they can.
01:27I look at them and I say, the NFL's gonna squeeze as much as they can out of your athletic
01:28ability.
01:29Like, when you're done playing, you won't run, you won't jump, you won't do anything
01:30what you used to do as much as you once did, but I want you to do that with their cash
01:31flow.
