We got a nice little show for you playing. NBA draft going on. We'll get into a little. Jay, you a big basketball fan? You watch a little bit. I can't say I'm a big basketball fan. You know, I usually start watching, you know, around the finals, you know, catch some stuff here and there, but I can't. You're probably throwing about. You. You shooting over the backboard. My jumper is wet now. My jumper is wet now. Oh, your jumper wet? Yeah. Okay, so. So as y' all see that he just finished his third workout of the day. He in the tank top, so he want to show off all these muscles he got. Chad. When Chad saw you was coming on, he texted me and say, typical James Harrison. He gonna come on the show when I ain't on. He's really scared. Stop playing. You know, that's what he get me on the show anytime. Anytime. Like, all they got to do is call. Yeah. He said, you avoiding. He was like, oh, typical. He want to come on the show when I ain't on, man, listen, ain't nothing about Chad worrisome to me, period. Did you see the video with Shannon and Jim Jones going at it about working out? I mean, I didn't catch it. I didn't. So that's okay. That's okay. So what we gonna do is hopefully Shannon, hopefully unk, if he agree to this, this is what we gonna do. We gonna sub him out. We just gonna let you go ahead and put yourself in. So Jim Jones, James Harrison about to be subbed in for Shannon, work out at your place, his place. Y' all go ahead and post that. You'll do that. I'll work out with anybody, man. I mean, it's a workout, you know, it's a challenge. It's something that I, you know, I love doing. Yeah, I don't got no problem with that. Answer this. Where did. How long you been retired now? Oh, man, like, seven years. It's been that long? Yeah, 2000. And I'm saying it's been that long, and I'm longer than you. I thought. Okay, where did this love for working out, bro? Where did this come from? Like, you've always been this way? No, not. Not really. I can't say that I was that way. Like, high school. I wasn't that way. I really didn't get that way until I probably got into college. I started, you know, working out more because, you know, I realized the better shape you are in. The stronger you get, the faster you get, the better you'll be able to go out there and play. So my goal was never to play NFL football. It was just an opportunity for me to play more football because I love to play the game. I didn't love the things that came along with it, but over time, I realized that the things that come along with it are the things that's going to allow you to be able to play the game longer. And, you know, from that it became, you know, high school was like, yo, we want you to go to college, play college. I'm like, you know, all right, I get to go to college to play football. You know, it wasn't the educational part, which it should have been, but. And then after, you know, I got through with my college career was, yo, you got an opportunity now to actually, you know, playing, playing the pros. And I'm like, oh, cool. And, you know, I'll never forget it, dude. I made the squad, got cut, you know, picked me up again, cut me again, went to NFL Europe, came back, Baltimore cut me. And then, you know, I'm just sitting around there waiting, and Clark Hagen, you know, he breaks his hand and I get picked up from there and, you know, basically the rest is history. But the thing that really changed my approach to everything, especially, like, you know, how I took care of my body, you know, how I changed my eating and everything else, is a guy ended up showing me his check in 2004. Yeah. How much was it? It was more than I made in a year, bro. They did the same, I promise you. My rookie year, what was league minimum your rookie year? 225. So your rookie year must have been 2002, 2003, one of those, right? Yep. Okay, so my rookie year, league minimum was 209. And I never forget. Somebody showed me they check and we get paid every Monday. Somebody showed me they check and the check was like 500 something. Thousand. Oh, he had a sign up on us in there, too. He just didn't tell you that? No, he didn't. Back then, on the week. Now, now, now, let me say this. It was before they took the taxes out, so he probably was bringing. He was probably bringing home about three. But when I. I said, this dude is making more in one week than I'm making the whole season. That is motivation. When you see that, you like, whoa. Yeah, so like 500k every Monday. Yeah, I saw his check, man. He showed me his check, and this check was more than I made all year, you know, in those two weeks. And I was like, you know what, man? I gotta stop doing everything or at least cut down on what I was doing at that point in time and start doing the things necessary to take care of my body. So, you know, I started adding, you know, different, you know, massage therapists, different therapies, period, into my regimen. And each year, you know, you end up finding somebody new, and you're like, oh, this works better, and you find somebody else new, and you're like, oh, this massage is better. So you can't go to massage Envy no more and be like, give me a good mistake. You can't. You just can't do it. So now everybody I use, you know, I. I fl. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to cut out. You know, first thing I did was I'm like, all right, I'm going to cut out, like, drinking, like, during the week. So I. I did that, and then the next was like, okay, I'm going to cut out drinking, you know, on the Sundays, you know. You talking about drinking alcohol? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, dude, I started. First thing I did was cut drinking. And, well, the first thing I did was change. Oh, before that, how often would you drink during the week? How often? Man, you got to realize my OGs. My OG was, you know, Joey Porter. So, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, it was a little. It was a little different back then. So, yeah, gonna get it in now. Yeah, yeah, My boy pz, he would get it in. But also on that note, you know, he done stop drinking altogether, too. So, you know, that's something. That's something that he done, you know, after his career was over with, to go back, you know, to what we were talking about. You know, I. I started eating right. I stopped going, you know, I was going out to eat, you know, two, three times a day. You know, I had somebody coming in and they were cooking, you know, making my meals for me, so I was eating clean. After that, I started doing, like, you know, vitamins, you know, trying to get. I got my blood work done to see, you know, what I was actually lowering and deficient in. So I wasn't taking unnecessary vitamins and just, you know, pissing off what I. What I need or taking things that I didn't need at all. And, you know, for. You still do that? I still do that. Ye. Yeah. I got. I got my vitamin packs that I take two to three times a day. I got one I take in the morning. I usually work out fasted. So it's easier on my stomach, those pills, so I can take them, you know, on an empty stomach. And it doesn't, you know, make me nauseous or anything. And from there, you know, I cut out drinking during the week and then, you know, I cut out drinking in the off season and, you know, I cut out drinking in a season period. You know, I would drink once during our rookie, you know, our rookie dinner. I would drink then and then I cut out drinking then, and I would just shoot espressos, you know. So it was just a progression of whatever I could do to, you know, make my career longer. And the thing that I was using, of course, is my body. And the better I could take care of my body, the better in health that I was, the longer I could play the game. Now that you're retired, how many days per week are you working out? I'm at five days a week now. I take two days off in some way, shape or form. I used to do six. I'm just getting older, man. I'm, you know, I'm 47 years old, man, and I, I just can't. I can't keep up with it. And I'm not actually doing the same amount of, you know, bodywork and care that I was doing when I was playing. You know, I had some sort of therapy, you know, every day, except for think it might have been like a Friday. I had, you know, something that wasn't, you know, therapy, but, like, you know, I saw. Had my chiropractor come in twice a week. I had my naturopath come in twice a week. I had my acupuncturist come in twice a week. I had my trainer come in, you know, once a week. I had a lady that did come on me. I had her come in once a week, and I had another guy that came in that was like a massage, chiropractic combination that, that came in once a week. So to keep up with that, you know, at that time, you talking, you know, three, $300,000 or more, and, you know, right now I'm not doing what's necessary, you know, to actually need that sort of therapy. But I still see, you know, I may see the chiropractor, you know, once a month, you know, every other month or something like that. I still see my acupuncturist once a week. I still do things with my naturopath, you know, anywhere from once to twice, you know, a month, something like that. And, you know, I'm just doing what's necessary. So that I can continue to, you know, you know, try and feel better and not. Well, if Jim Jones is listening to this, I don't even know if he gonna want you to. I'm not trying to go out there to destroy nobody or do nothing. No, it ain't. No, it's basically like a workout from what I take, but it's a workout competition. Like pull ups, push ups, dips. He ain't. He ain't trying to get into the. Oh, I'm stronger than you. It's a. Let's see who can knock these pull ups out. Let's see, you can do these push ups type of thing. Oh, yeah. Body weight, he should be able to do. Yo, Shannon, did you work out today? Yeah. Let me see. Trucking, all that. On weekends I do warrior sets. These pull ups with resistant bands. Bro, can you even lift your own body weight? We can all lift a bunch of weight, but can you lift your own body weight, big fella? The world wants to know when you gonna meet us in the gym, huh? That's what the world wants to know. Us in the gym. Please tell me that, because we really do this. Remember this weekend, work, no ac, Just in the heat, no water for an hour. Like, they dropped me off in the desert in case they got to put me with the marines on a special mission. You ready for that? Tap in. Let me know when the challenge is. Oh, radio Donald up. Lots of. Hey, I see no more. Yeah, I like it. So you. That's the type of workout he talking about, right? Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They gonna put that together. They gonna have to film that. And let's see. I mean, you working out five days a week. I don't know how often he working out. I want to get in that, but I'm gonna probably. I embarrass him. My. I'll embarrass myself, man, you gotta start somewhere with nobody but yourself, man. I can lift more than you. I'm stronger than you. Good job for you. My pride is not gonna let me get embarrassed. I'm gonna compete now, that's for sure. That's one thing. I competed in the game so long, man, to be honest. And I got two kids, you know, I got a 15 and 17 year old son. And, you know, everything to them is a competition. And for me right now, man, I did that for 16 years. And, you know, I did it at a level that, you know, they're. They're to aspire to, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, and I got to Leave, you know, the game, you know, when I wanted to. So I don't like my competitive edge of actually having to, like, physically dominate somebody. I don't. It's just. It's just no longer there now. If you piss me off enough, then yeah.

Anybody that follow him on Instagram, he has his bearded dragon and I. And if you go to his Instagram page, like I just thought he was messing around like little orange. Orangey looking bearded dragon. He calling Mango because I guess it's Mango. It's a girl. It's a girl. Okay. She. Yeah, yeah. Ammo. The fascination of it. Like it's a wild animal. You really giving Mango a bath. You talking to Mango and it's down there like she listening. Like Mango, Mango. Look, stop making some curtain. Mango. Stop acting crazy. You got some. You got some.

Come on. I almost got it. Come on. It's so much more embarrassing. Got it. So where did this come from? Like the taking care of a bearded dragon. That's the first. Question number two. How many times she bit you? She has never bit me. She has never. She has never bitten me. She's puffed her beard up at me. It's not even my dragon, man. The lizard has. You haven't been bitten one time. Not by her. No, not. Listen. Wow. I have not been bitten by her. She's puffed her beard up, you know, but she hasn't bitten me. And it's not my dragon. It's actually my son's dragon, James. It's my oldest and somehow it turned into mine because he don't care for her no more. So you like, I'm gonna take care of her and I'm like, I'm gonna give her away and I'm like, dude, I'm not about to give her away. Like, what if they don't take care of her? Like I do. You know what I'm saying? Like, I can't give her away. So, you know, I got a. I got a dragon on my own. His name was Rondell. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Your own Rondell? Listen to me. Let me tell you how you come up with the name Rondell, bro, for a bearded dragon. Listen. His name was Rondell Quindelius Dusselberry Harrison, right? And when I got him, he was cool. But a little while later, he started getting aggressive. And so he would do the puff and the beard. So I'm like, I thought he was playing. And then he jumped at me. I'm like, oh, he trying to bite me. So I put on a glove, and I'm like, I'm gonna see if they go, bite me, dude. He bit me. He bit. Well, he bit the glove. So I'm doing everything to try and figure out what's going on. So, you know, I'm calling like, yo. He's like, try this, try that. I'm. You know, I'm trying everything. I'm like, he ain't. It ain't working right. Rondell gotta go. Rondell gotta go. I'm like, rondell gotta go. Because I don't want to hurt him. You know? I don't know why I got such a soft spot for animals. I mean, I could. I could break somebody's neck and keep it moving, but these damn animals. I don't know what it is. Eagle. So I ended up getting him back, giving him to the guy that I got him from, because I know he's going to take care of him and all that, right? Man, he sends me a video. Rondell was letting him pet him, pick him up, all that. So Rondell, I couldn't find out he was a racist. Oh. So the person I got it from, he wasn't black. He wasn't black. And then I gave him that, and he was acting, right? So I came to the conclusion that Rondell was racist. I had a dog like that once. You know what I'm saying? His name was Brick. He was a little pug. Pekingese mix, right? And I didn't know Brooke was racist until I started bringing white friends over, and he would try and bite him when they reached down to pet him. So I tell my friends. I'm like, listen, when you go to my house, man, I got this little pug picking these dog. You know, he cute. He little, cute dog. You go Wanna pet him? I said, but whatever you do, he's going to walk up to you. Don't reach down to Petty. All he's doing is trying to get your hand close enough so he can bite you because he's not going to jump up to bite you. He just wants you to put your hand down there so he can bite you. And you know what white people is, man? They want to. Oh, love on the dog. Oh, he's such a cute dog. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do it. Don't do it. Every time. Go to reach down there and he try and bite the dog shit out of him. I'm like, dude, listen, my dog, big dog. I'm like, listen, I think my dog racist. Like, he. Soon as somebody trying to reach down there and it's a white hand, he go. He go after it. I didn't know that. I mean, I found it out later, but, you know, I don't know if animals can eat races, but I mean, your animals, your animals, at least you believe they. Listen, listen. He let me pet him, pick him up. All that shit. Rondell was. He was tripping. Like he. Soon you went to the cage and opened it. He puffed up, started. You know what it was? He ain't like that. You named him Rondell. That's what it was. He ain't like his name. He ain't like that name you gave me. Well, my other son, he got. He got a banana striped. Burnt. No, a banana striped ball python, which is not mine again. And he is sort of. Well, he's nice. He's just. It's just a ball python they bought. They ball up. They ball up into a ball. But that now has become mine too. So I'm taking care of that, feeding all the other stuff. And I had to. I had to up his intake of what he was eating because for a while he wouldn't eat nothing. Like, I tried to feed him frozen, you know, all this other stuff. And I finally got, you know, I had to go to live. I. You know, and once I went to live, you know, after three months, he finally, you know, started eating. And now he done got so big, though, to where this dude is eating like three or four at a time. So I'm like, you know what? I gotta move to like a, you know, a rat or something, you know, because I'm going to the store, you know, like every two weeks getting three, four mice. So I ended up having to getting his first rat. I ain't gonna Lie. Dude, it was. It was a fight, you know, and he scratched. He scratched my dude up real good. But, you know, he made it through it, and he. He got it down. But that's another one. That's it. Done became my animal now. Well, they. They lucky. They lucky that you the owner, you the friend taking care of him because. Giving him a bath. Mango, relax. Mango. I ain't doing none of that. So they lucky. Now we gonna get into this football. I gotta tell this story. I don't even know if you remember this. He played with the Steelers. As y' all know, I played with the Bengals. We play them twice a year. We was playing y' all. And you probably do not remember this. He used to just walk around with his helmet on, obviously, and he would just look at everybody, just real crazy. Didn't say anything. Didn't smile at you. And so one day, he was. I don't know who he was talking shit to. It was during a timeout with his plan. And I just walked by him. I said, the fuck? You always looking like you tough, nigga, you ain't tough. That's what I said to him. He didn't say one word to me. He just looked at me real crazy. And so then I said, oh, you think you scaring me, huh? Ain't nobody scared of you, boy. And he. Bro, when I say, you looked at me so crazy. So then I go back to the huddle, Willie Anderson, like, we about to get the play going. Well, you leave him alone. You ain't gotta block, you. So I catch. I catch a little out loud. And you speared me in my back. And you gonna look at me, say another motherfucking word to me, punk. I was like, what this dude? And you just. The rest of the game, every time I looked at you, you was just looking at me. Like, when I see you, oh, yeah, I'm a. So then when I met you off the field, I'm like, oh, buddy, cool as hell. Yeah, yeah. On that field for sure. This look that you. I think everybody across the league was like, bro, James Harrison. Like, for real. Killer. Like, in real life, for real. Oh, yeah, yeah, I get that. I ain't gonna lie. I get that all the time. Like, guys that are my teammates, they end up, you know, getting to know me and all that. But, like, on the field, in between those lines, dude, my dad told me when I was 10, he was like. The coach had told him he didn't feel like I was practicing hard or whatever, and I wasn't, you know, I was. I wasn't. I wasn't going hard enough. And my dad told me then, he was like, you know, when you step on this field, you ain't got no friends. He said, whether it's practice or a game, you go out there and you try and tear whoever's head office in front of you. So from that point, then when I got on the field, I don't care, you know, if it was practice or a game. I'm trying to do everything I can in my power to destroy you. I don't want you to finish that game. I don't want you to be injured. Like, you know, we got that. We've. Yeah, I just. On your face every game. Yeah, yeah, you can play next week. I just don't want you to finish this week. I want you to know you was in a football game. Well, so I. I guarantee, though, when you would meet people that you played against, you got the same stories, and then they meet you and they like, oh, I ain't gonna lie, dude. One dude was like, dude, you broke my nose. I'm like, dude, I ain't. It was a lineman from Sunday. He's like, he did it twice, dude. He was like, you. I'm like, I don't. I don't record it. He's like, how you don't record him? Like. Because I don't. Like, you say something to me. I'm just eating it up. I'm sitting there and running it through my head the whole time just to heat me up more and more. And when I get that chance to hit you, I am trying to lower the boom. Yeah, and you was doing it. And the facial expressions, the body language made it even worse. Now let's talk about George Pickens. You know what's going on with that? Yeah, I heard something about. He. Okay, so I'm gonna kind of give you the backstory. Obviously, George Pickens gets drafted to the Steelers. Then they just trade him about a month and a half ago. Dallas Cowboys. So George Pickens is supposed to do a camp in Pittsburgh. So he was traded May 7. So just about six weeks ago, he gets traded to Dallas, but he still commits. I'm still going to do the camp. That's what he's telling the people that's organizing and running the football camp. I'm going to still come back to Pittsburgh and do the camp. Well, all the kids registered. George say, nah, I ain't coming back. I'm not doing the camp. I don't care what y' all do. I'm not doing the camp. So Pat Fryer moved the tight end. You know what? I'll step in and I'll do the camp for George. What do you think George should have done and what would you have done for me? If I get my word, my word is my word and I'm going to go through with it. It doesn't matter how I feel afterwards. Once I get that word, I'm going to do it. If that was something that he really just didn't want to do, I think, you know, he should have made that decision initially to be like, you know what? I don't want to do it because I didn't got traded or whatever it may be. And then again, you know, you're talking about representatives. I don't know if this is something they directly heard from him. So you got a lot of people that speak for you, especially when you know you're in that position. You got people that are like, no, he's still going to do it. And sometimes they're hoping that they can convince you to actually, you know, still do it. So was that something where his team was like, yo, he's still going to do it. And it may have been something that as soon as he got traded, he was like, you know, I'm not going to do that. And maybe over time they were trying to talk him into it and they just couldn't get him to do it. So unless that was the direct words from him, you know, it's kind of six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. Although that is a representative, they do speak for you sometimes. They try and speak in your best interest, hoping they can convince you to still do it. Me personally, I feel like I'm like you. Once you say you. Once you commit to something, just go ahead and do it. Because it's a lot of kids, man. Like, they ain't getting caught up in the. He's with the Steelers now. He with the Cowboys. They just want to see George Pickens and so disappointed a lot of kids. And I'm sure he don't. He don't. He don't care about that. But once you say you're going to do something, whether you play for the Steelers, you play for the Cowboys, it's a day out of your time, one day out of your time. Just go ahead, knock it out. Matter of fact, go surprise them and continue to keep them people and those young kids and those families as fans. Because obviously they signed up for your camp. Cause they liked you as a Steeler. Even you Go to the Cowboys. They still gonna be a fan. So now he's lost fans. But I don't know if you know George. I've been around him a little bit. He just don't give a damn, bruh. Yeah, I don't. His representatives were like, hey, you need to do this. He probably was like, nah, I ain't doing it. I don't care. I ain't doing it. I don't care what you say. I'm not doing this. I think it's unfortunate because he's probably gonna take a hit in his reputation. I don't think he gives a damn. But those kids, that's the part of it. They just gonna be disappointed. Now. When you left Pittsburgh, where'd you go? I was Cincinnati. I thought you did. And that's why I was. I didn't know if it was New England. Cincinnati. Cincinnati. New England. How was it leaving Pittsburgh, going to Cincinnati? Like the differences, the dynamic. I know you couldn't wait to play Pittsburgh that first game, but how was it playing? Because they, Pittsburgh is historically a much better organization. Obviously they won a lot more than Cincinnati, but when we played each other, every game was always close for the most part. What was the differences between organizations that you felt like, okay, this is why the Steelers are winning more than the Bengals. They take better care of the players. To be the biggest thing that I noticed when I got there was the food. Man, you're eating, you're eating the same food that's, you know, the stadium cooks, you know, that's, you know, your game day fan food. You know what I'm saying? It's the same company that's, that's making the food. It's brought in, you know, buffet style. You got, you know, you had sandwiches that were already made up with, you know, cheese and mayonnaise on them and, you know, all the other stuff. You know, the best thing they had was you could, you know, possibly get an omelet, you know, made for you on site. Everything else was, was pre made, dude. It not, it was not something that you're supposed to feed to, you know, a team or, or a professional team. You know, you don't go and, and use, you know, F1 formula cars and put in, you know, 93 octane. They use race gas. And you're feeding, you know, these high performance athletes trash. And you wondering why, you know, they're not, you know, giving you the put up that you want. Dude, I, I was bringing in my own food. You know, I was, I was laying food from Home, you know, it just got to the point, like, they were just serving these things that was just loaded with, you know, grease. And it was. It was not very. It was not very good, man. The facilities. So we've gotten better at that. I was just sensitive. That's what it was like that when I was there, they. Right now, I will say much, much, much better comparison. Like, when I went there, I was shocked. Everything was made to order. Only thing that was buffet style was the fruit. Okay? That's it. And so to me, it's. It's gotten much better. And I bring that up because you know how they do the NFLPA report cards, and you kind of rank. You know how after a game, and this is news to me, because when I was playing, all the families were indoors. As soon as you walked out the locker room, take about 10, 15 steps, they all to the right. It's indoors. And they got an F because it says it's cold, it's outside, it's bad. Like, I don't know when they changed that. When you were there, were the family members outside waiting for you after the game? Honestly, dude, I really couldn't remember. You know, I didn't have a lot of games that, you know, my people could be there. So from what I remember, I kinda kind of met him, like, in the, like, parking lot area. And we just got in the car, we took off. So, you know. You know how you walk out and it's the parking lot, but just before you walk out into the parking lot, the families used to be in that area in the hall out there in the thing, right? Yeah, but that's indoors. Maybe they've changed it, but. Yeah, I just realized, like. Like, with the Stillers, it's an actual area. It's a whole sitting area. Like, you go in, you go into that area, you pick up your. Then y' all come out, y' all walk through the tunnel, and then you go to your car. Oh, okay. It ain't like that. Okay. I got no okay. It's different. Yeah, this okay. Yeah. Like, it was like, for me, like, when I got to New England, like, they actually feed you and everything before you get out of there. Really? Yes, bro. Whole whole brought in buffet style. You know, they be having steak and all that, bro. Your family come eat all that, Then y' all. You know, y' all shoot out food. Really? In New England? Wow. See, I ain't never had that on any team. Yeah, well, the Steelers used to do it, but they would, like, it would be one of the players or coaches and they do like you know in the parking lot, in the players parking lot they'd have somebody come in and cook like some barbecue spot or whatever and everybody would hang out, you know out there after they picked they people up from the family.
