Joining us right now. We had him in New Orleans. He's back. Here it is Master Pete. Pete what it do?
- [05:15]
Master P
I'm Good, brother.
- [05:16]
Shannon Sharpe
How you doing, man? I'm great, man. Hey, congratulations. President of basketball operations at the University of New Orleans. How did this position come about and explain your role to our chat, Pete.
- [05:29]
Master P
Yeah, so coach Tim Floyd, he's one of the greats from the University of New Orleans, put a lot of guys in the NBA, and he done got older. He retired. I mean, a year or something ago, I told him, I said, man, I'm thinking about coaching in college. And then I didn't hear nothing from him. Then a couple months ago, he said, man, I got a position for you to go take over the University of New Orleans. And, man, the rest was history is nothing but God. Like I said, this is a town where I grew up at this school. The University of New Orleans has always been about privateer, nation. And for a black man to get this, I definitely got to salute Dion Sanders for opening the doors, man, showing us that we could do it. So. And I just love. Me and him got on the phone call, I was saying, coach, how you think I should go about this? Like, man, take this first step. The rest is history. And, man, this Shannon, it's a blessing, my brother. I'm telling you, it's a blessing because especially me coming from hip hop, this history, to be able to. I'm running the whole program, you know, basketball operations. Yeah. Everything. So it's like, now they gotta listen to us. But, you know, the program. Program was in Shambas, too. So think about it. Ain't gonna give us a. Yeah, you.
- [06:55]
Shannon Sharpe
Got to build it up. You ain't gonna start. But I can't let you start from the top of the mountain. I gotta make you climb up the mountain.
- [07:00]
Master P
Yeah. So think about it. And, you know, it goes with my business model. I always find a problem, and I. If I find a problem, then I know. I know what the solution is, then I could be a part of fixing it. And so the game didn't change. Look at Rick Patino. He done turned St. John's all the way around.
- [07:18]
Shannon Sharpe
Everywhere he goes, he turns it around.
- [07:20]
Master P
Yeah. And think about it, right? This nil stuff is now, like, my thing is catching the billionaires, the millionaires, the alumni from the University of New Orleans and saying, look, I caught them all yesterday. We got in the room, you know, we need y'all to make some deposits so we can go get the best players. Yeah, the best players. And I mean, the job is easy from there because a lot of guys want to play for me. You know, I've been doing this for. I coached DeMar DeRozan, Lance Stevens, Brandon Jennings. So I come from a program, my P. Miller Ballist of creating dogs. And so I know what that looked like, and I got dogs coming already. They.
- [08:03]
Shannon Sharpe
They.
- [08:03]
Master P
They want to be with this program. And so when a portal come, I told them no puppies allowed. Oh, dog. Oh, dogs. We gotta win, man. So think about it, Shannon. My thing is, we won four games last year. This is a Division 1 university.
- [08:20]
Ocho Cinco
Yes, sir.
- [08:21]
Master P
So. So you know what I'm gonna do? Like, it's only up from there. And so I'm humble, I'm hungry. I'm letting God leave me on his journey. I mean, I just gotta keep climbing from there, man.
- [08:32]
Ocho Cinco
Listen, that.
- [08:32]
Master P
That's a.
- [08:33]
Ocho Cinco
That's a beautiful thing, man, To. To honestly to get a position like that in your hometown.
- [08:38]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [08:39]
Ocho Cinco
Despite your background and being a rapper. Because I know about your basketball game. I know about your IQ when it comes to that. So be able to be about something else. That wasn't your main focus, but it was something that you loved, and now you get to actually live that dream. Like, I got chills because I have things that I also want to do where I've never been presented the opportunity to do it. And now that's motivating to me because I'm like. I'm like, man, if he could do it, I know.
- [09:09]
Master P
Yes. And that's what I want. I want all of us to feel like. Because think about it. We already stereotyped. So, you know, in this position where I'm at, it's not like a lot of us in these positions. And so the school that I'm at, you're not gonna see a lot of us at these positions. And so now it's about me doing the right thing, being able to do this under the NCAA rules, show them that the same way Deion Sanders did. Like, he did it. And now we could do it in basketball and don't bring. So when you come to our games, I done learned from the goat already. When you come to these games in New Orleans, we the. Gonna be turned all the way up. Sh. So, you know, I'm bringing y'all out, man. It's. Yeah, it's gonna. But. But you're gonna see some of the best basketball that you could see. And basketball changed my life and saved my life. And I went from Master P to Coach P. I mean, CEO is a blessing. Yes.
- [10:08]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
- [10:08]
Master P
You know, to be honest with you, this is a business. Absolutely. And that's what this is right now. Basketball is a business. These kids are making money. And now I got the right nil deals that I could match anything. I could go after the number one players. You know, we're going to have a spotlight for these kids to where the NBA is going to come to where we are. Because we going to put these type of caliber players here and we have them. We are prepared to compete next year and to grow and get better.
- [10:35]
Shannon Sharpe
Pete, let me ask you this. Go ahead, Ocho.
- [10:38]
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, listen, I have a question. Now. When it comes to going to get players, will you ever be in a position or ever have to do the part where you go into homes and actually visit the parents and talk to them? Will you ever do that?
- [10:50]
Master P
Yeah. I mean, to be honest with you, like a lot of these parents grew up with me, grew up on my music. And they know I'm gonna take care of their kids. Like that's the most important thing. And I'm gonna let them understand what hard work is for myself, I want dogs. You got to be able to be dedicated, put the work in. I know you gonna say, oh, man, Master P, that's my coach. No, it's Coach P. We want good characters. We want guys that's gonna come in here and work hard and we're going to take it from there. Like, if you got that lead ability, then we're going to make sure that these NBA scouts come in. And right now, I mean, I'm about to sit down with Steph Curry because we are Under Armour school. And that's the first thing I said, you know, for us two black men to come together, we're going to take this thing and blow it out the water. Like we're going to take this to the next level. Like you're going to see even Steph Curry brand. It's like, you know, this opportunity that we really can blow this up and we can help each other see.
- [11:44]
Shannon Sharpe
Let me ask you this. How do you get people to see other than what they see, knowing? Because a lot of times, where you grew up, how you grew up, okay, he a rap man. He ain't nothing but a rapper. But you parlayed that. He says, oh, no, no, no. I can sell product, I can sell cereal, I can sell chips, I can sell soda. Boom, boom, boom. They say, okay, well, no, all you do is rap and all you are a CEO. How can you lead a basketball program? How can you get in the collective at nil? How do you get. How did you, P get somebody to see other than what they saw?
- [12:17]
Master P
Well, you know what? This is Not a traditional business anymore. So you're not going to find the traditional coaches. I mean, the same way they had to believe back in Rick Patino. Like, for me, I haven't been doing music for over 20 years, so they can't look at me from that perspective. They got to look and say, I've been giving back to the community for over 25 years. You can look at my track record. I've been doing the right thing for a long time. You know what? Nobody's perfect. I'm not perfect, but I know that I'm letting go of leading me on this journey, and I'm going to lead my team. I'm passionate about what I do. I love what I do. Like, this is not about money. This is what I love to do, and I'm able to do that. This is what makes me most happy, being able to help young people, especially through education. Think about it. I've always been on a financial literacy journey, so I've always been teaching and helping the next generation. The ones that want to listen, I don't went from NFL players to NBA players to major league Baseball. I've been helping, showing them, like, you know what we have to understand the importance of financial literacy. And now to be able to help brothers in this sport to be successful, because everybody's not going to the NBA, right? So now I'm going to show these kids why they want to come and play for me. Because not only that this is a basketball game, but most of these kids are feeding their families right now in college. It's no more time waiting to get to the lead. You know, I know what it is to be hungry. My grandparents sent me to college with $5, like, going on. I hope you make it, baby. And guess what? I came back and made it and brought her a house, brought my grandmother house. And so I know what these kids feel, what they've been through. Me and Brandon Jenis talked about this last night. I said, what made you so good? Brandon said, man, look, I know the condition where I was at. Nobody wasn't going to outwork me, even though they was bigger than me. You know, I was just with a dog on the court, and then I got a chance to be around up and see mansions and see all these nice things. And then that even motivated me even more. So. So imagine these kids around me gonna see that I come from the gutter. I come from nothing. And look where I'm at now. They get a chance to touch me and play for the team that I'm Coaching, But I'm gonna coach them hard. I'm gonna coach them tough. Because we're not gonna win if we don't create toughness. And that's what this about for me. And that's off and on the court. And so I'm not only a coach, I'm going to be a father to a lot of these kids, the same way Deion Sanders would happen to be a father to a bunch of these kids. Because I'm giving some kids opportunity, man, that never had this type of opportunity before. I'm being honest with you, like, because the regular coaches will be afraid of these type of players. Think about it. I had Demar derose, and he was out of Compton. Brandon Jennings. Think about all these kids from some tough neighborhoods. Lance Stevenson. But I knew how to talk to them. Yes. Think about it. You can't talk to everybody the same.
- [15:10]
Shannon Sharpe
No, you cannot.
- [15:11]
Master P
Because guess what? A lot of players are gonna. They gonna. They're gonna.
- [15:14]
Shannon Sharpe
They're gonna buck up.
- [15:15]
Master P
They're gonna buck.
- [15:16]
Shannon Sharpe
You talking, too.
- [15:17]
Master P
Yeah. And so you know what my thing is, right? If I could talk to these players and coach them in love, and it's gonna be tough. Sometimes I'm gonna have to talk to them tough. But guess what? They gonna know that I'm gonna be there for them through thick and thin. And that's why they want to come be on this program with me. And plus, we got a great city. We got a great atmosphere. This is a big city. And so, you know, my next thing is getting a lot of television time to. Where we get that time now at the University of New Orleans. It's going to be all about, you know, the Privateers, not Privateer nation. So getting. Getting all these, you know, major channels to. To. To zoom in on us, because I got some of the top entertainers in the world coming. We starting off, man, like we start. No, the culture has been built right now. It's built.
- [16:04]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Pete. One of the things that I tell kids, I said for me growing up, if I see it, I can be it, I can get it. All I needed to do was see. I saw my brother go to college. Went to college. He lived with me. He just like I did. He was poor, as I was. I'm going. He went to the NFL. So if you see it, you should want to. You could be it or you can get it. Let me ask you this. When you go into what's going to be your sales pitch, because there are a lot of people that's watching this, and they're like, okay, let me see what Pete talking about. When you go into some. Let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho and I, we the number one and two recruits in the nation. And we from New Orleans. Let's just say Ocho's from New Orleans, I'm from California. You gonna come sit down on my grandma's couch. You gonna go sit down Ocho's couch? What's your pitch? How you gonna get me and Ocho to team up as the number one and number two basketball players in the country?
- [16:55]
Ocho Cinco
I ain't just from New Orleans. I'm from uptown now.
- [16:59]
Master P
So guess what, Ocho? If you from uptown, I know you're a dog. And if I'm coming to your house, I'm coming to let your parents know that I'm gonna be a coach that's gonna guide your son all the way through this process. Because this is a journey. It's not gonna be easy. I'm gonna be on him. I'm gonna be tough, but I'm also gonna reward him, and I'm gonna put him in a great situation to where he could get the right nil money, then he could be happy. And also I'm gonna make sure he get his education because I know changed my life and saved my life. So I put you on that right journey. So even if you get hurt, you go through something, now you can still take care of yourself. As a man. I'm creating men. I want you to come here to play for me, but I also want you to love what you're doing, and you got to want to be here, too. So if you don't see this the place for you, then it's not the place for you. But it is that. I'm not trying to sell nobody because I've been through it all, and I know that I could be there for these kids and show them the right way, and then they can learn from my mistakes. But also, I could teach them business. I could show them how to create their own products and brands also, because even the nil money is nothing to what once you make a name for yourself in this college system, you're going to be worth way more than this. And then the end goal, if you want to get to the NBA, then guess what? I got people that. That now that's going to bring NBA scouts to our arena to come see you. And so. And this is the great city. And if you from here, you know that. But you also have to be able to police yourself because you're Grown. So I'm going to also be. Be looking for your son to be able to police himself, be able to be accountable. And he gotta want this. Cause if he don't want this, I can't do nothing else for him. But I could definitely show him everything that I've been through and I could put the right team around him to get to where he need to be at. And that's just gonna be my sales pitch. Because it's not a sales pitch, it's just reality. Because I'm a black man that been through what these black kids and young men are going through. And I know they're not gonna be able to. To play games with me because I done seen it all. And so when they get on this campus, they're going to be held accountable like anybody else. But we going to win, we going to get better, we going to grow together, and that's what it's going to be about. And we're not going to play games with them because a lot of these other coaches are playing games with our kids. Because this is a business, I'm going to let them know. And guess what? If you get yourself to a position to where you need to go to the league, I'm not making kids say they need to stay here because I know I can get other kids if I need to. But if you come here and this is where you want to be and you want to be in college for right now, until you get an opportunity to go to the NBA, this is the spot for you. Because we're going to take care of our kids. And that's what I've been doing all my life. And you could check my record on that. So Demargin Rose and I had him since seventh grade. Lance Stevens, I had him since seventh grade. Brandon Jennings, I had them since seventh grade. I had all these kids all the way through college. So go check my resume.
- [19:56]
Ocho Cinco
That's live. That's live.
- [19:58]
Shannon Sharpe
I have my college coach, Bill Davis, rest his soul. You know what he told me? He said, son, it's after four years, you're not in a better position than you are right now. You don't need to come here.
- [20:10]
Master P
Yeah.
- [20:10]
Shannon Sharpe
Because if what we have to offer you here is not better than what you have where you are right now, this ain't the place for you. Yeah, I'm coming.
- [20:20]
Master P
Think about this. Why go play for them when you could play for us, somebody that really care about us? Because once you get a part of this system, you're a part of my family. Like Think about it, all these other kids, you know, if you go ask them about me, they still know me today. Think about, look at my track kicker, my track record right now, right? I didn't stop Snoop career. I let him blossom and grow. Go look at everybody. I didn't create it. I done created guys that they don't. Because I tell people all the time it's like finding a used car. And so that's why I say I want to find dogs. Because most of the dogs, nobody really want them because they probably think the attitude too bad or maybe they've been through something. No, I know one thing that we're going to help you get through this if you serious about being successful. And those are the type of people I want around me. I don't care about what you've been through in life, right?

J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
- [24:39]

The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard.

I got a good question. I got a good question. Especially when it comes to the young kids, especially today's era, the nil era, where everything is really a business style. The kids are focused on the money. They focus on. I want to build my brand. I want to look a certain way, I want a certain amount of money. But how do you keep the kids focused, P. Especially them dogs, you know that influenced by. That are influenced by.

That are influenced by hip hop, by some of the things that they see. How do you keep them focused on strictly basketball and trying to get to that next next level? If your dreams are to be an NBA, how do you keep them locked in when they're getting the money early?
- [26:20]
Master P
Well, guess what, if you get the money early, then you need to invest that money into something because that money don't come and go. So if you take that money, invest it in something, guess what, you need more money. So you're going to come here and work. You're going to have a solid focus. You're going to keep your mind right. Because we're going to show you that. So think about it right now. A lot of kids go in college, they don't even have they the nil money in a business name. And in my place, I'm going to show them that I don't want to control them. So if you got your money in a business name, then you could hold on to create your llc, create your incorporation, right? And so now you have a business. So you could go to the bank and invest that money and put it away. Because my whole thing is put this money into escrow, put this money into something where you don't have to touch it right now unless you need it to help your family or whatever, right? My thing is once we show them that. So by the time next year, they're going to double their money. We're going to show them how to. And I think nobody else cares as much as me in doing that for my players because I do it anyway. Look at my Master P master classes, I do that anyway. And so for me to be able to do that for my players, only gonna be 12 or 15 players on my team. And to be able to be that close, to have a family bond with the people on my team that I wanna see successful, like I said, everybody's not gonna make it to the NBA. But if somebody come up with something, create a business or something while we in college, if you look at it, the guy that created Tesla, Elon Musk, he created PayPal while he was in college. I want to be able to show the athletes on my team we could do this while we in college if we stay focused. But you got to come here. It's not about the money. Everybody want to make some money. But this little money right now, I'm going to show my players. This is the little money. The end game is where the real money come in. At once you get to the league, this money here is nothing but to keep yourself going, keep your family going. Because we know most of these players are going to come from hard times. I got players from New York hitting me up, from Chicago, from Philly, from Maryland. I got players hitting me up because guess what? They want their spotlight. They want their spotlight knowing that this year, if you play for Master Pete, if you play for Percy Miller, Coach Pete, that that spotlight is going to be on you. And if you a real dog and you could play, I wouldn't even care about getting il money right now. If I'm a real NBA player and you come here with me, you're going to make it because all eyes are going to be on us.
- [28:42]
Ocho Cinco
Right?
- [28:43]
Shannon Sharpe
You mentioned something like the people that reached out from you, they come from hard times. You know what? Create tough men. Hard times. Hard times create tough men. Tough men create easy times. Easy create easy men. Easy men create hard times. You see that cycle, how it goes, Pete? You see what you did is that Pete came from an improper situation, a very hard time. It created a very tough minded and sound hard individual. Then P created easy times. Now, in that easy time in which you created, what are those under you in that time, what are they going to do? You said something very interesting that set up an llc, set up a corp, set up a trust. Because what you can do when you have money, you can borrow money against what you have in that account. You don't have to spend money. See, that's where they get ahead at, Pete. They don't spend their money, they spend other people's money while their money grows.
- [29:41]
Master P
I'M telling you what, I'm building credit at the same time. Yes, Shannon, we building credit. We also understanding that, okay, if you got somebody, look like us, that care about you and want to see you win, why not come play for us? Because guess what? The main thing is, if you really could play the NBA World cup, no matter where you at, no matter where you at, think about it. So look at Scottie Pippen. Right back in. Scottie Pippen was on a team that nobody knew where he was at. But guess what? He made it to the league. Steph Curry was in danger.
- [30:12]
Shannon Sharpe
Dennis Rodman.
- [30:14]
Master P
Yep, Dennis Rodman. Look at right now, Dame a little like all those people that you see right now, even John Morant, like, all. You just need to be on a Division 1 basketball team. And they're going to find.
- [30:28]
Shannon Sharpe
If you good, Pete, look, they went way to Serbia and got Luka. I mean, they got Luca from Slovenia. They got Janice from Greece. They got Wendy from France. They got Jokic from Serbia. If you good at anything and they think they can make money off it, they gonna find you every time.
- [30:45]
Master P
But I'm gonna tell y'all, we got a great arena, we got a great atmosphere, and we're gonna put the best product on the floor, and we're gonna put the best characters. Cause we want to build character. At the same time, we want people to come here. We wanted to have those testimonies where now a kid could say, man, I went out there with Coach P. And my whole life changed because he stayed on me. He held me accountable. And now I'm one of the top players in the NBA right now. I want to create those testimonies. And so I want any kid out there that's watching this right now, if you're a real basketball player and you're a real dog, and you want an opportunity to get to the NBA, you also want opportunity to graduate from a great university and also have a great staff of people around you. Because, you know, that's what it takes, too. You want to have a good team, a good team around you, people that really care about you. And that's what this is about. Once you're part of this family, you're part of our family for life. So everybody that been around me, we still family for forever. It's not like, oh, you come in, because think about, y'all know y'all don't play professional sports. A lot of these people forget about it. But now you. You have some people, you know that. You really know that this is your family. You could call them anytime because, you know, man, look, I've been around that person. This is bigger than basketball. It's bigger than football. Like. And that's what this is for me. This is bigger than that. Like, we gonna make history together. And that's what this is gonna be about. And we're gonna show the world that we could do something positive, we could grow. Because you think they want us to be successful in this, y'all? They don't want us to be successful in this. Cause think about it now. They gonna realize that, wow, not only they come from entertainment, because even sports now, entertainment and sports, it goes together. Think about it. It goes together. And we business people and we know how to create something from nothing. Like I told y'all, I always find me a used car, put some wheels and some paint on it and fix it up. And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm fixing up this used car and taking it to the next level.
- [32:50]
Shannon Sharpe
You talk about entertainment, what are they doing? The biggest. The biggest event in North America is what, the Super Bowl. What do they have at halftime, Pete?
- [32:56]
Master P
Yes.
- [32:56]
Shannon Sharpe
You go to the RBA All Star Game. What do they have, Pete? They have entertain.
- [32:59]
Master P
Entertainment. So it goes hand in hand.
- [33:01]
Shannon Sharpe
Let me ask you this, Pete. I'm gonna get you out of here on this one. When it's all said and done, what do you want people to say about Pete?
- [33:10]
Master P
Well, you know what my whole thing is. I don't want us to wait till it's too late, till it's done. And, like, I'm not looking at Junior Bridgman life, right? Me and him was going to do a lot of things together. And I did a lot of work in Louisville, so. But we gotta stop saying, I'm gonna get together tomorrow, I'm gonna do it later. You know, we gotta do it now. And so, yeah, so my thing is, the most talent and the most wealth is in the graveyard. Think about it. And once we gone, somebody else gonna do what they got to do with our wealth. I want people to know that Pete did what he need to do for his people now. Like, we're not waiting. And that's why this is so important, what I'm doing now. This is bigger than student athletes in a basketball game, y'all. This is about changing lives and saving lives at the same time. Cause a lot of these kids that come from here, they never would get these type of chances, or some of these kids getting second chances. Like basketball, college basketball is getting older now. When you Go in that transport portal. A lot of these kids been in college a long time. So now, for some of these players, if they really good, this is gonna be the last step of feeding their families, getting on a winning organization to be able to get the real nil money that they can get. My thing is, I want people to remember me for creating future leaders, putting out people in a position to win. And that's what this is about with me.
- [34:34]
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
- [34:35]
Shannon Sharpe
Big congratulations on the opportunity, man. I know you're gonna do great things because everything you seemingly have touched has turned to gold. You pull your heart. You pull your heart and you pull your soul into it. But I understand. This is what I know about you. You love what you do, and it resonates in the kids. Because once somebody find out that you care about them, there isn't much they won't do for you.
- [34:55]
Ocho Cinco
For you. Yeah.
- [34:56]
Shannon Sharpe
Once a kid know, is there anything. Once a person know that you care. Once I knew that teacher cared about me, my coach cared about me, I would move heaven and earth.
- [35:05]
Ocho Cinco
Oh, yeah.
- [35:06]
Shannon Sharpe
Because I never wanted to let that person down. Congratulations on this opportunity. I know you make the best of this opportunity. Hold on.

I had never met Rick Ross. Hey, I did mess. Hey, man, let me get your number. Hey. Hey, I have my phone in my hand. Just hope. I hope he see this. Oh, he gave me shot. Hey, bro, man, check this out, man. I just started a podcast, man. I wonder if I can get you on. I mean, hey. Cause he had gone to an HBCU for a minute. I think he went to Albany State for a minute. Albany State's in the siec, just like we were. Boom, it worked. So it's great to. When he said to hear him say how okay, do things and how we support one another and be there for one another, hey, they know. So that's why. Hey, when he reaches out him Snoop Q Group, I'm there. I'm there because they. They were there for me when I didn't have. Hey, just starting this thing up. It gave us credibility because we had not a whole lot of podcasts when they start out. Was able to trot out the lineup that I tried it out. I knew the first guest was going to be my brother. But after that, I was like, man, who the hell I'm gonna get? And, hey, from Master P to Floyd Mayweather, like I said to Ross, hey.
- [37:37]
Ocho Cinco
But you've been on. You've been on fire, boy.
- [37:39]
Shannon Sharpe
Why are you guys including Jameer Gibbs in the top five backs?
- [37:42]
Master P
He is.
- [37:43]
Shannon Sharpe
We just overlooked. Bro, you do realize we're going off the top of our dome, bro. Ain't like, we got notes here. Like, okay, guys, let me. Let me explain how Ocho and I work. Like, okay, we have the list of the rundown, but when you hear me start naming our players, that's not on there. That's off the top of my head. That's off the top of Ocho head. We have a rundown in which the topics we're going to talk about. I know y'all was talking about. Well, hey, Ash is probably feeding him information because I was going back and I was telling you we was talking about the Yankees and I was giving you different eras in which the players played. They was like, well, he recalled. Oh, he got. No, I don't. Because I didn't even know we were going to talk about that until you brought up the Yankees and what made them special. And then, okay, we go into this field. Okay, we talk nascar. I have no idea. We're going to talk nascar. And then I just. Because I was a natural. If you're from the south, which I was, NASCAR is in you. You watched it you watched all of them. Because NASCAR is not like. It was not. I think NASCAR used to come on cbs, if I'm not mistaken. And you know Darren Earnhardt senior used to drive the number two Wrangler car before he got the black Monte Carlo, the three, and had the Gaggoy shades and.
- [38:53]
Ocho Cinco
And.
- [38:54]
Shannon Sharpe
And Daryl Waltrip drove the. The Tide 88 before he got the 11 car. And you had Buddy Baker. You had Bobby and Donnie Allison. All those guys. Buddy Baker, all those guys. I watched them. Harry Gant, the Skull Bandit, Neil Bonnet, Austin Bill from Dawsonville. This was before Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. And all these guys. That was before them. So that's why. And I remember I used to sit down. What else you gonna watch? You had three channels on, off, and don't mess with me. So it wasn't like you. Just like it is now. Ocho got 500 channels to choose from. Please. But no, we do not have every back. No. I didn't even know we was going to talk about this, but the backs came up and. Don't you like to. So I'm just. We just rattled names off the top of my head. It's an honest mistake. It's not like we know what Jameer Gibbs is. He was special sensation. He can run AK well, you buy.
- [39:52]
Ocho Cinco
The closest thing we done seen to Chris Johnson, right?
- [39:57]
